There is no exact reason why the solar system is arranged the way it is. But humans have discovered certain laws of nature that seem to keep the solar system in its present pattern. Earth, like the other planets, follows its path, or orbit, around the sun. But there are two main types of theories. First theory suggests that the formation of the planets was a part of the gradual changes in the sun from whirling masses of hot the gas to its present size and brilliance.
Second theory is based on the idea that at some time there was a collision between the sun and another star passing nearby which resulted in pieces of the sun which began to revolve around the sun at different distances. These are now called as planets. So the solar system remains as it is because certain laws of nature maintain the relationship of the sun and the planets.

Advance stop line rumble strips (ASLRS) are grooved strips placed upstream of a stop-controlled intersection.
Advance stop line rumble strips (ASLRS) (also called transverse rumble strips or in-lane rumble strips) are grooved strips placed upstream of a stop-controlled intersection. ASLRS are transverse to the direction of travel and provide an audible and tactile warning to the drivers.
Placement and design of ASLRS is covered in the Iowa DOT Design Manual, Chapter 6, 6A-7 (Iowa DOT 2014a) and the Iowa DOT Traffic and Safety Manual, Chapter 18, 18A (Iowa DOT 2014b).
Several studies have evaluated the effectiveness of ASLRS. One study used intersections from Iowa and Minnesota. The table below summarizes the studies where crash reductions were found. Other studies are summarized in a tech brief (see below).Crash Reduction Factors for Installation of ASLRS (Iowa and Minnesota)

text: Some people might argue that they did not see any influence made by social media. They do not understand why they had to pay attention and spend money on these social media methods. However, "Click Here to Save Darfur" is a successful example to show how effective social media is. A student in Sudan used Facebook to decry the human rights catastrophe in a public bog. He was not sure if it would encourage people to save Darfur. FaceBook is not only using to support online courses, but it brings a great influence in the real world. The student asserted, "Facebook is the platform that allows us to make social change and realistic things happen." According to this article, it mentioned that the effectiveness of Web organizing could be also measured in dollars. For instance, in 2006, the online donation is near to 6.9 billion from a year earlier. Obviously, it is easy to see that social media does have a great influences on our society.

If you like to eat good food, then join me in celebrating National Farmers Market Week, Aug. 7-Aug. 13.
Buying fresh, Louisiana-grown produce is a great way to show your support for our farmers, ranchers and dairymen, who supply produce, meat, seafood and other products to farmers markets throughout the state.
There are now nearly 150 farmers markets and roadside stands scattered across the state, making access to Louisiana's bountiful offerings easier and more convenient than ever.
Take your children to the farmers market, teach them where their food comes from, and meet the farmers who actually produce the food.
Today's farmers markets have a wide range of locally produced offerings, from seasonal fruits and vegetables to eggs, milk, honey, herbs, fresh meat, seafood and even flowers. Locally grown produce tastes better than produce shipped from hundreds of miles away. Louisiana is blessed with an abundance of available fresh food; there is no need to look any farther.
In the Baton Rouge area, there are at least five farmers markets for you to shop; and while you're shopping, keep in mind that agriculture is an important sector of Louisiana's economy and contributes more than $9.9 billion to the benefit of our state.
For your convenience, a list of farmers markets and roadside stands is available on the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry webpage at http://www.LDAF.la.gov. Just click on "Louisiana Grown" for the locations.
Bon appétit!

Can you imagine being arrested and fined for smoking electronic cigarettes in public places? That's how bad it is. This piece of news came as a surprise and complete shock to many people who live in Wales and the UK at large. The government through the Health Minister announced its plans to ban any kind of smoking in public places. In a statement released by Mark Drakeford who is the Health Minister, the government explained the importance of taking collective responsibility in order to address some of the most critical challenges that is affecting the current population. The government further outlined the dangerous effects of passive smoking and this is the main motivation behind banning any form of smoking in public.
All along e-cigs have always been seen as a better and healthier option to tobacco cigarettes. However, this is not the case anymore according to Mr. Mark Drakeford. E-cigarettes contain nicotine though in small quantities just as with the tobacco cigarettes. Nicotine is a highly addictive substance and exposure to this substance might lead to one becoming an addicted smoker in future. Thus, not even e-cigs are an alternative anymore to smoking the tobacco cigarettes.
Public reaction
General reaction from the public has been that people are shocked and they see this as a step backwards in curbing the smoking of tobacco cigarettes. The general feeling is that smoking electronics cigarettes in public should not be banned. According to Richard Filbrandt who is the owner of Vibrant Vapour Café, science has proved that there is no major risk associated with passive smoking of electronics cigarettes and hence by all means it is not right to ban the smoking of electronic cigarettes in public.
It is illegal to sell cigarettes to people under the age of 18. Any person doing this in Wales will be fined heavily so as to prevent the vice. For the young people who order electronic cigarettes using the internet or online and they are not at least 18 years of age; they will be traced and charged as per the laws.
Wales has always been on the forefront to implement radical challenges and once again it is proving to be one of the major forces to embracing change.

Engineers at the forefront of healthcare
Biomedical Engineering at City
City's Biomedical Engineering Research Group (BERG), established in 2004, is leading the way in a discipline that is transforming developments in medicine and healthcare delivery. Under the leadership of Professor Panicos Kyriacou, the Group has as its mission the extension of the frontiers of science and technology by developing new tools and techniques to solve challenging medical problems.
More specifically, BERG's focus is on the use of engineering principles to advance understanding of how biological or physiological systems operate. The ultimate goals? The development of effective medical-based technologies for application across societal needs including breakthroughs in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disease and the design of novel devices, sensors and processes.
Reflecting BERG's twin emphases on advances in basic bioscience and applied biomedical engineering, Professor Kyriacou says the Group's work can be summed up succinctly as "creating biomedical technologies from design to the patient." The Group's principal areas of expertise are in medical sensors and instrumentation; biosignal and imaging analysis; biomedical optics; electrical impedance; physiological measurement; and physiological modelling.
Transformative sensors
Developments in optical technologies mean that some sensors are no larger than a hair and in the words of Professor Kyriacou, can "go into places in the body that people have never gone before." The startling potential of ever-smarter and smaller sensors created by the Group includes non-invasive monitoring of blood oxygen levels in specific organs and tissues to ascertain their condition and tracking the progress of critically ill patients during surgery and in intensive care. This research challenges the status quo in monitoring blood components such as glucose, haemoglobin and cholesterol by innovating new non- invasive sensors that have the potential to make such measurements possible, without the invasive extraction of blood. Such technologies will enable patients with chronic diseases such as diabetes to monitor their wellbeing and remain in control of their condition.
BERG has recently been awarded a major research grant by the National Institute of Health Research to develop a personal lithium blood analyser for patients with bipolar disorder. This will revolutionise the monitoring of psychiatric disorders given that there is currently an absence of non-invasive medical devices for monitoring or assessing bipolar disorder. The mood of patients with bipolar disorder frequently changes, featuring episodes of depression (with feelings of being lethargic and 'low') and mania (with feelings of being 'high' and overactive). These patients are dependent on lithium to maintain their mental equilibrium. Too much lithium causes toxicity and too little causes patients to have uncontrollable mood swings.
The personal lithium blood analyser will assist in providing more information on lithium blood levels to psychiatrists, clinicians and patients, allowing for more effective management of bipolar disorder with lithium therapy. A low cost, portable healthcare technology which makes use of smart medical sensors allows bipolar patients to have more control of the earliest signs of health problems with medications that can be detected and corrected.
Preliminary studies will involve the spectrophotometric evaluation of lithium in blood to determine the optimum parameters for the sensor. The ultimate goal is to provide a handheld technology to monitor lithium levels non-invasively at home and to provide a personal monitor to assist, support and inform both the patient and clinician.
Funding future breakthroughs
While members of BeRG are revolutionising the care of patients in critical condition, colleagues elsewhere in the School of Mathematics, Computer Science & Engineering, led by its Dean, are set to transform the life opportunities of babies born with congenital heart disease.

You will not regret getting one of these!

Great Stroker
Reviewed: March 15, 2018 by MadlyYours, a Straight Going Steady Male
If you are looking for a good male masturbator then this is one to certainly consider.
The flexible material creates a series of chambers that are both tight and stretchy at the same time and would accommodate a variety of sizes.
These chambers contain a range of nodules and ridges create an incredible sucking action, intensify sensations and it's a significant improvement on the traditional 'hand only' method of masturbation.
The Head Honcho can be used solo or with a partner, although my partner did find the suction noise a little off-putting. On the plus side, it did intensify the experience and improved the efficiency of things when my partner used it on me. A further plus is the clarity of the material, which allows you and your partner to see what is going on inside.
I've found that using it solo produces incredible sensations and never fails to bring me to a climax. My personal preference is to warm it first in water, which I find creates an altogether better sensation when first entering it.
The Head Honcho is incredibly easy to clean. It contains any mess and is cleaned by simply turning it inside out, washing with water and soap then leaving to air dry. A dusting with corn starch powder helps to reduce any stickiness from the material once dry.
The adverts say it is as good as a blowjob. That's not my experience, but it is a great toy that produces awesome sensations and has never failed to do what it was made to do.
- Pros
- Great sensations, incredibly easy to clean.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- As good as a blowjob? Not in my experience but incredibly good sensations.

My wife got this as a gift for me to use when she isn't in the mood. One of the best gifts I've ever received.
A small bit of lube and it slides on really well. More than tight enough and the ridges and grooves feel brilliant when stroking.
When you cum you can keep your orgasm going for ages by squeezing the end. causing a fantastic suction action.
Easy to clean just rinse with hot water and dust with talcum powder to stop it getting sticky.
- Pros
- Everything.
- Cons
- Yet to find an issue.

- A must-buy for any guy.

One night a man had a dream,....... he dreamed that he was walking along a beach with God.
Scenes of his life flashed before him, and looking down he noticed that there were two sets of footprints shown there, in the sand… one belonging to God, and the other set belonging to him.
However, when the last scene of his life flashed by he realised that at times, during the lowest points of his life, that there was only one set of footprints.
Feeling puzzled, he asked God,
"Why did you leave me when I needed you most?"
God turned to him and said, "My precious child, I love you, and I will never leave you or desert you.......
When you saw one set of footprints... it was then that I carried you".

~Clothes Swapping and Second Hand Clothes - Eco Fashion on a Budget
The term encompasses a wide range of different clothing types. Generally speaking it is used to describe any type of clothing that is manufactured in way that has a reduced impact on the environment. Eco fashion includes clothing that contain all or some recycled materials, those made from organic cotton and other alternatives like hemp, bamboo or soy.
Most eco fashion is more expensive than conventional clothing as it is more costly to produce. This is often partly because it is produced on a smaller scale and also because cultivation of organic fibres can be more costly. Use of recycled materials can also be a more expensive option than using raw materials.
Whilst the cost of many types of eco fashion have reduced as more efficient production methods are found and the industry grows, there is still a difference in cost between eco and conventional fashion. Many consumers will not worry about the slightly higher price of eco fashion as they have a strong belief in minimizing their impact on the environment.
But for those who want to do their bit for the environment, but cannot or will not pay a premium for green clothes, swapping and buying second hand clothes is the perfect alternative. It is probably the ultimate in eco fashion. As the clothing has already been manufactured these is no environmental impact associated with manufacture of recycled clothes. It also helps to solve the problem of textile waste and disposing of used clothes.
Second hand clothes are much cheaper than their brand new counterparts and are often in excellent condition with many years of wear left. Clothes swapping is a sustainable and free way to refresh and update a wardrobe without resorting to the cheaply manufactured and environmentally damaging 'fast fashion', the quality of the clothes are also likely to be of a higher quality than the very cheap clothes that you can buy in the shops.

In-Firm Privilege: Lawyers Have Legal Problems Too
For many years in the modern era of law firms, a few federal district court decisions starting in the 1980s set forth the notion that lawyers and law firms could not invoke the attorney-client privilege to shelter communications with their lawyers about their legal problems from the lawyers' clients. Since that time, law firms have grown tremendously in size, scope, and complexity, making such an approach a thorn in the side of law firms' in-house counsel.
Fortunately, since 2011, there has been an unbroken string of well-reasoned opinions deciding that the cases holding against the in-firm privilege were in fact mistaken. The supreme courts of Massachusetts, Georgia, Oregon, California, and New York have now upheld the rights of lawyers to get privileged legal advice, as have intermediate appellate courts or federal district courts in Illinois, Ohio, and California.
The New York Court of Appeals was the last state high court to go down this path. In Stock v. Schnader Harrison Segal & Lewis, 35 N.Y.S.3d 31 (2016), the court affirmed the right of lawyers to seek privileged legal advice about legal problems relating to current clients of the lawyers. Following other recent cases, the court explained that the fiduciary exception is not applicable in this context simply because lawyers are their clients' fiduciaries. The court also deconstructed the flawed thinking behind the "current client exception" to the privilege set forth in some of the earlier cases as well.
In Stock, the New York high court rejected the arguments of an amicus, the prominent Association of Corporate Counsel, whose members are in-house corporate counsel. The ACC argued that lawyers and law firms cannot obtain legal advice about problems involving their current clients because it is the clients who hold the privilege. The ACC even went so far as to argue that the privilege not only does not exist in communications with a firm's in-house counsel, but that the same rule should apply to consultations with a law firm's outside counsel. In its amicus brief, the ACC prominently relied upon a law student's law review note to advance its argument. (Really?)
The ACC's argument neglects the fact that lawyers need legal advice too, and when they do, they are the clients. The Stock court declined to adopt the rule urged by the ACC, which has not been adopted by any American court. When a lawyer needs legal advice about a situation involving a current client, she is really between a rock and a hard place. The Court of Appeals explained that lawyers' duty of loyalty to their clients does not prevent them from defending against client claims or getting advice about compliance with the rules of professional conduct. The court observed that the ACC's proposed rule would force law firms to withdraw at the first hint of a problem with a client, thereby limiting the firm's ability to mitigate any potential harm to its client. The court found the better course is to allow law firms to get legal advice and is preferable for both law firms and clients.
After its position in Stock was rejected, the ACC had more to say. U.S. Law Week quoted the ACC's chief legal strategist as saying that the ACC viewed Stock as a "a sort of 'Maginot Line'" that had to hold to protect corporate clients. Corporate Counsel Weigh New Plan of Attack After Losing "Intrafirm" Privilege Case in N.Y., U.S. Law Week, vol. 85, no. 2, at 40. U.S. Law Week further reported that the ACC's strategist said that ACC members may turn to putting waivers of the law firm's attorney-client privilege in their outside counsel guidelines. This effort is as ill-conceived a way to protect clients as the Maginot Line was to protect France from Hitler's tanks.
Law firms most often represent the ACC's member's companies with great skill, devotion and loyalty. Is it really important to corporate America that their lawyers can't receive privileged legal advice? A privilege does not mean that you can hide facts that a client is entitled to know. Whenever we professional liability and professional responsibility lawyers are consulted by law firm clients, duty to clients is a paramount concern on both sides of the attorney-client relationship. This is true even where law firms naturally want to take steps to limit their liability. How can a lawyer best protect a client in this difficult situation? It's simple: by preventing or minimizing harm. By making sure that the mandates of the rules of professional conduct are followed.
Lawyers have legal problems too. Their clients are best served by the lawyers getting legal advice when they need it. Just like the clients' interests are served by getting the same kind of thoughtful legal advice. Corporate counsel should think twice about trying to strong-arm their clients into foregoing their legal rights as a price of doing business.

This dish is my diamond in the rough.
But let me back up a week…or two…or possibly more, who's counting?
It all started with my highfalutin idea to make a fancy salad for dinner. A fennel, orange and pomegranate salad to be exact.
I boiled pearl barley. And a small quantity of chick peas.
Then diced some delicious fennel.
I popped out pomegranate seeds from their pods and mixed everything together along with some spice, herbs and vinegar.
It sure was looking pretty.
In this dish, I incorporated every taste on the tongue's palette but sweetness (pomegranate seeds don't count, they're for color and crunch).
My eyes wandered over to the southern grown orange resting on the counter. Nervousness set in because in New England a tasty orange is difficult to come by even if it is from the grovestands of Florida.
The vegan husband warned me, "don't you remember what happened the last time you used an orange in a recipe"? Who could forget, I thought.
The difference this time was that I was going to taste that orange before using it.
It was surprisingly sweet.
Thank you orange growers of Florida.
But then an unfortunate event occurred.
I decided to use the zest of that southern orange.
The zest I did not taste.
I need to learn to edit.
Or start sampling zest.
The dish tasted bad. I mean really, really bad.
Spelt stew
(note to self – spelt should be used as a flour, period)
The above stew was followed by a bland Minestrone Soup and then a tasteless Roasted Red Pepper Risotto.
I could go on.
Let's just say we've eaten a lot of veggie sandwiches of late.
Now, on to my diamond.
Okay, so I haven't actually made this dish for several months. I just dreamt about it every time I forced myself to take a bite of the aforementioned fiascos.
The aroma of this dish is so intoxicating it is difficult to refrain from before baking. It has a sweetness to it which will appeal to kids, no worries it's not orange related. The flour is used to thicken the sauce. You can substitute the flour with arrowroot powder which is often used in asian dishes for that purpose.
I know what you are thinking, there are a lot of ingredients listed in this recipe which often equates to a lot of time in the kitchen. But it doesn't take as long as you think and it is so worth it. Give it a try!
Serves 6
3-4 potatoes, peeled
3 tbsp earth balance spread
1/3 cup flour or 2 1/2 tbsp arrowroot powder
1 1/4 cups crushed tomatoes
1 large apple (I used Macintosh), peel and then zest the meat
1/4 cup each: agave nectar, white wine, apple cider vinegar, tamari
1/2 cup each: black-eyed peas, kidney beans, navy beans (dried)
8 oz green beans, fresh or frozen
2-4 shallots, julienned, we love the taste of shallots in this so I use four of them
8 oz mushrooms, button or portabella
1 tsp marjoram
1 tsp thyme
sea salt and cracked pepper to taste
Soak beans overnight, cook next day until tender and set aside.
Preheat oven to 400°.
Thinly slice the potatoes and parboil them for 4 minutes. Set aside. In a sauce pan combine earth balance, flour, tomatoes, zested apple, agave nectar, white wine, vinegar, and tamari. Heat on low and whisk constantly until the sauce thickens and starts to boil. Simmer on low heat for 3 minutes. Add beans and remaining ingredients to sauce. Mix together and pour into a casserole dish. Leave a bit of the sauce to brush over potatoes. Arrange potatoes over mixture, slightly overlapping so that mixture is covered. Brush potatoes with left over sauce. Cover dish with foil and bake for one hour or until potatoes are tender. Remove foil for the last 20 minutes to brown potatoes, if desired.
My cooking skills and palette have evolved over the last couple of years, but I still have mishaps. Have any kitchen disasters you would like to share? Please leave a comment…

NORTHERN LIGHTS: This program includes during 4 evenings a combination of presentations, lectures, film and guided searches for the Aurora Borealis – the Northern Lights. All countryside hotels in this program offer a Northern Lights wake-up call for guests that register for that particular service at the hotel reception. This tour series is designed to spend 4 evenings in the countryside to maximise the chances of seeing the elusive Northern Lights. Still, the tour is dependent on weather, and therefore sightings are not guaranteed. The Northern Lights are visible in the northern sky from September through April when the sky is clear and free of clouds. Like many natural wonders, it is an ephemeral spectacle – the Northern Lights may be visible, they may appear for a bit and then be gone (it is not a TV show that you can just turn on and off). But it is worth the patience which is much required. Because they are a winter event, you need to be prepared to wait outside while looking for them. It is best to dress very warmly, in layers, with good footwear, gloves, hats and whatever else makes you comfortable while you await this truly outstanding event. For the best photos, we recommend using a tripod.
BOOKINGS & FURTHER INFORMATION: Either via our international tour operator network or directly by email email@example.com and we process your booking by personal email communication. In general, there is a non-refundable booking fee/deposit of up to 20% to secure space on tour. We will send you a confirmation and invoice. Payment is due latest 4 weeks prior arrival. We accept international bank transfer, Visa or MasterCard. Once paid, we will send the vouchers and travel documents. Unfortunately, we do not offer an online booking engine for this tour.
CANCELLATION: A cancellation fee of 20% of the tour price and accommodation will be retained by us for cancellations made from 4 to 8 weeks before departure. From 28 days until 8 days before departure, the fee is 50%. No refund is possible for cancellations less than 8 days before departure, or for no-shows, and a tour began but not completed. The exchange of one arrangement for another must be agreed by us beforehand.
Here below are the Aurora viewing results from the past winter trips that give you an idea of how often Northern Lights have been seen during the Northern Lights in Style Tour while staying 4 nights in the countryside:
Winter 2014-2015: 87 %
Winter 2015-2016: 80 %
Winter 2016-2017: 93 % (Oct-Mar)
Winter 2017-2018: 83% (Oct-Mar)

|Iggy Azalea: The new face of rap?
Murda Bizness
by Iggy Azalea ft. T.I
I'm sorry... what? Here we have a 22 year old gurl from Mullumbimby, New South Wales that's spitting rhymes like she's E-V-E or something. Confused? So am I. It's weird to think that when, um, Iggy actually speaks there's a higher chance she sounds like Missy Higgins than Lil' Kim. But she probably puts on a supa-fly American accent. "Iggy do it biggie, tell 'em keep sending bottles, Imma pop 50, these other bitches think they hot? Not really, She a broke ho, that's how you know she not with me, keep my heels on high, ride or die, 7-60 L, I ride and fly, I'm the guys honest truth, they decide the lie, they just divide the legs, I divide the pie." I'm sorry... what? I never thought I'd say this, but here it goes; "Ke$ha is not the worst female rapper in the game." Expect hell to freeze over any second now.

The Wicked - Elevator by SwitchBitch Records
Album: Never Trust the Dead (2012)
The Wicked - Elevator by SwitchBitch Records
If you've ever wondered what would happen if you combined The Hush Sound with The Dresden Dolls, your long search is over. Introducing Boston's gypsy-punk duo, The Wicked. 'Elevator' is the first single to be released from their debut LP, Never Trust the Dead and it makes quite the impression. Janele Mystique's sweet voice creates a nice juxtaposition placed alongside the darker pop-punk sounds created by Nick Janowicz and the band. Their polished sound serves them well in avoiding too many comparisons to Boston's other famous dark-duo, The Dresden Dolls. There's similarities for sure; female vocalist on keys, guitar/percussion combo and they're multi-instrumentalists, but that's about it. Their sound is completely different, awesome in its own way and leaning way more in the direction of pop than their cabaret inspired contemporaries. 'Elevator' is a great introduction and I'm sure their debut will go a lot further in cementing their status as one new band to keep your eyes and ears on.

16 and Unstoppable
by Christina Parie
I know for a fact that not all 16 year olds are this dull. Such a shame only the annoying ones get record deals and make hideously boring music clips. Uuurgh.

Summertime Sadness
by Lana Del Rey
Oh, another Lana clip? They all look the same and they're beginning to make me wonder how unattractive she really must be if every single one has to be shot in soft focus. Boring. Well, if she's not going to any effort then I shan't either. Copy and paste from my last Lana review….
See, when you go to music festivals, sometimes it can be difficult to decide which artist you are going to have to miss out on in order to grab a beverage and some food or other essentials. Luckily for me, at Splendour In The Grass next weekend, Lana Del Rey has made that decision incredibly easy. Here's another 4 minutes and 43 seconds of visuals which should explain why I'll spend her set somewhere much more interesting, in the line for the toilets. Thanks Lana! Splendour is going to be awesome! (Matt - as an interesting side note, Jo will be required to review Lana Del Rey at Splendour In The Grass)

Police still looking for killer in 1969 slaying
Police still looking for killer in 1969 slaying
BURLINGTON, Iowa —
Police in Burlington have not given up on solving who raped and killed 48-year-old Dorothy Miller, even though the crime happened nearly half a century ago.
Miller's bound body was found Aug. 19, 1969, in a vacant two-story house in central Burlington. Her unsolved killing is the city's oldest cold case.
Lt. Jeff Klein, commander of Burlington's criminal investigation division, tells The Hawk Eye that every Burlington police officer who becomes a detective is familiar with the case. Klein says when detectives return from training, "we hand them the Dorothy Miller file and ask them to review it to see if we have missed anything."
Police had a number of leads at the time of the killing, including the brick used to bludgeon her.

Time management: 6 ways to improve your productivity
If you resolved earlier this month to work smarter, stop procrastinating and be more productive, your best intentions may have quickly been subverted by your regularly scheduled work routine.
Workplace performance expert Jason Womack says changing the way we do our work to improve our productivity is hard because our processes have become habit, and in many cases these habits have made us successful (even if they drove us to the edge of sanity in the process).
"A mid-level manager, for example, has probably gotten in the habit of living by the ding of email or the buzz of the BlackBerry," says Womack, and they've probably been rewarded for their responsiveness. "If they haven't addressed that Pavlovian response, it will be difficult for them to shift their habits."
The biggest mistake professionals make when it comes to time management, adds Womack, is continuing to use their time for activities that no longer deserve it.
"They keep going when they should be done," he says. "They keep typing an email when they've already answered a question in the subject line. They keep talking on the phone when they've already addressed the purpose of the call. They stay in the meeting room after the meeting points have been covered."
To prevent you from making those same mistakes, Womack shares six of his most effective time management and productivity boosting tips.
1. Stick to the 15-minute rule. Womack recommends organizing your workday into 15 minute chunks. If you work eight hours a day, you've got 32, 15-minute chunks. A 10-hour workday gives you 40, 15-minute chunks. Womack emphasizes 15 minutes because, he says, it's long enough to get something done and short enough to find in your day.
When you have to schedule a meeting or conference call that would typically take an hour, Womack tells his clients to start it at 15 minutes past the hour and to end it on the hour. He believes people can accomplish in 45 minutes (that is, three, 15-minute chunks) what they think they need 60 minutes for. Containing the meeting to 45 minutes forces you to keep it on point and gives you an extra 15 minute chunk in which you can address another item on your to-do list.
2. Know when you're done. Continuing to work on something when it is essentially done is a significant time-waster that most professionals aren't even aware of. People need to think through the, 'When am I done' question, says Womack, who is also the author of Your Best Just Got Better: Work Smarter, Think Bigger, Make More (Wiley 2012).
"When I get a nonfiction book, I'm done with that book when I've learned something from the author that I didn't know before," he says. "I've picked up books, paid $24.95, read it for two or three 15-minute chunks, learned something and given the book to my seatmate on a plane."

Cooking with BRIANNAS Cilantro Lime Dressing
A couple months ago I was contacted to see if I'd be interested in previewing a new dressing for a local Texas company. Since I love anything Texas, I of course jumped at the opportunity. I actually did not know it was the amazing BRIANNAS Dressings until my package came in the mail. To say I was excited is a gross understatement. I was already such a huge fan! I've been addicted to their poppy seed dressing for years. My preview was for the upcoming Cilantro Lime Dressing and it is amazing. But you know me, having it as dressing wasn't enough, I needed to transform it! So here are three recipes I made using this terrific dressing!
Avocado Cilantro Lime Dip
2 ripe avocados
2-4 tablespoons BRIANNAS Cilantro Lime Dressing
Juice of one lime
Salt to taste
This is almost a fancier and super tasty guac. The dressing gives it a creamy and a little bit sweet kick. Mix all the ingredients up and enjoy. We had it with tacos and just with chips.
Green Chili Cilantro Lime Sauce
1/2 cup cooked green chilies - I cook mine and freeze them during chili season but canned ones work just as good
1/8 cup BRIANNAS Cilantro Lime Dressing
1/2 cup Greek Yogurt
1/2 cup melted Pepperjack Cheese
Melt the cheese and then mix the ingredients up. I used this as a topping for a chicken cauliflower pizza. I had previously made this using mayo instead of the dressing but the dressing really added flavor especially with the cilantro. It could be used as a sauce or as a dip with crackers.
Creamy Cilantro Jalapeño Sauce
1 bunch cilantro with stems removed
2 jalapenos with stems removed
1/2 tsp dill
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1 cup greek yogurt
1/8-1/4 cup BRIANNAS Cilantro Lime Dressing
Super easy! Put everything in a blender and blend until smooth. Chill and serve or use as a sauce for enchiladas, nachos, anything! This is actually an alternative take on the Jalapeño Ranch Dip served at Chuys and it is great!
I had so much fun testing these recipes and just playing in the kitchen. Hope you all enjoy!
Happy Cooking!


text: News Brief - 4/20/17 Local students awarded a full year of tuition at WGU, a $6,000 value SALT LAKE CITY Western Governors University (WGU) and the Utah Jazz teamed up to provide four Utah students with a full year of tuition. Awarded during halftime of the recent Jazz–Minnesota Timberwolves game, the scholarships will allow the students to attend WGU, an online, nonprofit university, tuition-free for one year. The four scholarship recipients are Alex Draper, of West Jordan; Amber Lorensen, of Pleasant Grove; Michael Morrell, of Provo; and Marcus Renlund, of Salt Lake City. All four are new enrollees at WGU and submitted an official entry form earlier in the Jazz season. Draper is earning her bachelor's degree in business health management, Lorensen is seeking her master's in nursing informatics, Morrell is earning his master's degree in educational leadership, and Renlund is pursuing his bachelor's in information technology. Learn more about WGU's scholarship opportunities at www.wgu.edu/scholarships and by following @WGU on social media. Renlund enrolled at WGU because he needed the flexibility of WGU's IT program while he continues to work full time on the database and software systems of an international supply chain company. He also plans to accelerate his studies and earn his degree faster, an option WGU's competency-based approach enables. "Earning a bachelor's degree has been something that I've always wanted to do," said Renlund. "This scholarship, paired with WGU's flexibility and competency-based model will allow me to realize my goal quicker than I would at a traditional school, and save me money." The majority of WGU students are working adults who benefit from the online university's flexibility and competency-based online degree programs, which allow students to complete courses on their schedule, advancing as soon as they are able to demonstrate mastery of the material. This, combined with affordable, flat-rate tuition of $6,000 a year for most programs, is making it possible for more students to earn degrees that are helping them advance their careers. More than 5,400 Utahns are currently enrolled at WGU, part of a growing nationwide student body of 80,000. "The Utah Jazz support the efforts of Western Governors University to provide online educational opportunities with this free tuition program," said Steve Starks, Utah Jazz president. "Our organization believes in the intellectual and economic value of education and giving students a chance to pursue their dreams."

Daniel Strauss at Politico says that Donald Trump's embrace of Sarah Palin and her passionate fan base, including readers of Breitbart News, is smart politics.
From Politico:
The odd alliance between the New York mogul and Alaska hockey mom, many years in the making, has burst into prominence on the campaign trail over the past week, in a flurry of adoring compliments and vows of friendship. But it's also smart politics. Trump carries many positions, from admiring comments about Bill Clinton to support for Obamacare-like health policies, that jeopardize his standing with grass-roots conservatives. Palin, with her unimpeachable conservative cred, stands ready to vouch for him.
Indeed, while Palin has high negative ratings among the general public, she also has a large, devoted following among voters that many GOP strategists say have been neglected by the mainstream candidates.
Palin still has a whopping 1.16 million followers on Twitter and 4.4 million Facebook likes — only two indicators of her clout in the party's volatile grass roots.
On Friday, Palin called those loyalists to action with a piece in Breitbart.com, casting Trump as the candidate of "Joe Six-Pack" Americans.
The common thread with Palin and Trump, beyond a track record for statements that win headlines but rankle wide swaths of Americans, is that they have both tried to draw on populist conservative enthusiasm while in the national spotlight.
A former aide to Palin said the former governor has long liked Trump's habit of "telling it like it is."
"Palin and Trump seem like an odd couple, but their charisma taps into a following few are able to inspire to the same degree. And perhaps it is simply because they know who they are and don't care if others don't like them," the aide said. "No doubt, Palin is pleased to hear Trump acknowledge her strengths, and her fan base, because she remains relevant for another cycle."

The Brooks Bandits (3-0) scored the second-most goals in a game in Western Canada Cup history, as the Alberta Junior Hockey League (AJHL) champions got by the defending national champion Portage Terriers (2-1-1) of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League (MJHL) by a whopping 9-3 margin on Wednesday night at Affinity Place.
