Every day is a new challenge for you and how you manageyour work shows your time management ability.
Improper time management may leads to frustration which not only spoils yourday but also the others. Time is the limited thing which everybody cannotcontrol.
Differentways to increase your time management skills:
Prioritize work: Before starting your day make a list of your entire task in a priority basis so that the one which is more important can be completed early. Some tasks may need to complete on the same day while some may be on the other day.
Take some breaks: Take proper breaks in regular time. It'll refresh your mind and helps you to think new possible way to do your work. Continuously working and working can irritate your mind and damage your health too. Breaks are very important for the working professionals as it refreshes their mind to think new ideas.
Be Punctual: Be punctual for your work as it will help you to complete your work in time. If you'll start your work late then everything will get late. Try to start it at the earliest possible time
Set up deadline:Set a deadline for every work so that it gets completed in the desired time or earlier than it. Challenge yourself and meet the deadline.
Avoid multitasking: Avoid doing multiple tasks at the same time and do concentrate on one work at a time. Working on multiple tasks at the same time can make your work waste and may be the day too. So concentrate on one work, first complete it than focus on the other work.

Trainer is very good, Sumanta is holding excellent knowledge from PMP world and his industry experience with knowledge adding nice mix for aspirants. Good to have session with him. and also Very Good, Responsive towards the early initiation of training.
CSM training I attended last month, it was nice. Trainer is from America he had good knowledge on the subject.
You are really a very very good person/human.you have lot of patient to deal with us and make us understandable (like i asked lot of stupid questions:) ).

TOGAF training I had taken this from other company but it was waste of money but I am glad I chose Sprintzeal I am happy I passed the exam.
Why do keep getting emails even after completing the training, Please take my name off. I told you I liked the training it was good.
I enrolled for the training and was still doubtful whether I will be able to make it for the training because of my schedule, but Sprintzeal had LVC option which saved my time and efforts. I completed my training while working in office.
Good trainer, I enjoyed thoroughly. Class size was god nothing much to say about anything. Content slides would have been designed little better. I think I can help you guys.
Naa…!!! You guys aren't that great what my colleague told me about so 4 stars for you guys. Improvement, please change the training venue next time its little far from city center and its difficult for people to travel and reach their on time.
Guys be aware sometime you guys will be charged more in other companies. Compare this company with others before buying I did and I am happy I chose Sprintzeal. I had to pay less compare to others. I am giving three stars because I had to reschedule the training once which i am not happy if not company is good, training is good, overall it was good learning.
It was easy and comfortable to discuss and get the necessary information which was required prior to training from sprintzeal.
Trainer: In a single word , excellent. Sumanta is an excellent trainer with very keep knowledge on the subject. He always kept session very interesting and light and quote excellent real life examples to relate with course material.
Training was very good which includes course content , material and venue. I would like to pay bit attention about the venue because on first Sunday class was arranged in Hall 3 which was not an adequate hall to study for 8 hours.
Over all i am very satisfied with course content , material and Trainer abilities.
PMP Training was good, I enjoyed the training looking forward the exam hopefully I will pass. I will let you guys know once I have my results.

Training is strongly receomended to all working professionals, I enjoyed the training and it helped me I hope it helps you aswell.

Good Training provided by Sprint Zeal , The study material and the trainer is up to the mark and Specially thanks \"Zohra\" for arranging a quick training for me. I recommend Sprint Zeal for any Management and Soft skill training
Completed PMP training with Sprintzeal, it was good experience got lot of knowledge and inspiration from this training. Awesome training and awesome environment for learning and gaining knowledge. Great place to get learned and certified.
Great tutor, engaging session and quality slide desk as well as course work. It shows good ground work has gone through to compile the study material.
Overall positive about the training. Course material is structured to meet the requirement. The suggestion is to include what other statistical programs can be used other than minitab as most of the organizations/individuals would not have this software.
I have attended the PRINCE2 training and certification. The training was conducted very nicely with suggested ways to real life project management issues. It was a good experience and learning.
Attended Project Management training in Bangalore. It was okay and satisfied with the training. Trainer has explained the topic in good way, I can give 4 star out of 5
Training was good and project management concepts were taught in detailed ... nice learning
Identifying and selecting a course through the Sprintzeal website was extremely user friendly. Steve Jones was extremely professional, responsive, and hands-on to identify an alternative means of receiving email communique from Sprintzeal in preparation for my course. This professionalism continued with Dan Boyle, our facilitator. Dan maintained constant communications with the participants while the support team resolved the Day 1 challenges, thus enabling Day 2 to proceed without any glitches.
Dan\'s facilitation was on point: ensuring the material\'s applicability to our work industries and experiences; enabling us to ask questions throughout the course; and reviewing any part of the material using real life examples.
Being able to contact Steve and Dan directly was huge value added. Due to Day 1\'s challenges, we were unable to have Day 1 recorded for future review. But, no fear, I was contacted and advised another session would be made available that I could attend and would be able to access the recordings from this session.
Sprintzeal is invested with their participants and their experiences. I would definitely recommend Sprintzeal!
I was assisted by Alex Wood, who assisted me with the registration. He made the process effortless. In addition, my trainer Ulises Penarredonda was awesome.
His enthusiasm made the class worth attending. I\'m actually looking forward to completing my LSS Green Belt examination. Thanks Sprintzeal for a great experience!
Took the six sigma black belt training with Sprintzeal and had a terrific experience. The instructor was superb, the attention and customization to the needs of each student very personal. I learned A LOT in a structured and fun way!
I signed up for the in-person Time Management 1-day course. After being told by Alex that (wonderful Sprintzeal concierge, by the way!), due to all other registrants being from one company that requested the instructor to go to their office on-site, my class would now have to be a virtual online training instead.
I was initially disappointed; however, it actually ended up being better for me as it became truly a 1-on-1 training. Dr. Flora was absolutely an excellent educator and teacher, asking direct questions that allowed him to tailor the training to my particular situation.
The only thing I wish we would have done more of was the \"activity exercises,\" which obviously were intended for more of a group setting. However, overall, I walked away with a personal action plan to help me set up the framework for tackling \"time bandits\" and believe I can work smarter, not harder. Thank you Sprintzeal and Dr. Flora!
Very accommodating, and great communication.
The instructor exceeded my expectations, and I will definitely be working with this company again! Thank you Sprintzeal!
I took the Sprintzeal course in the US. The instructor, Dr. T, was
great. Alex was helpful and responsive when I contacted him. I will update
once I register and take the exam.
Initially, I had problems with the cancellation of my training on two consecutive occasions. After discussing the alternatives with Sprintzeal I was able to get an upgrade, and instead of taking the LSS Green Belt as initially planned, they were able to give me the LSS Black Belt, for the same price. This was a professional way of compensating the initial frustration. The instructor was very competent and the training very good.
I took a Lean Six Sigma training course with Sprintzeal and was very happy with the instructor (Dan). He\'s very knowledgeable on the subject and you can tell that he\'s passionate about ensuring that his students get the best out of the training session. 5 stars for the instructor. I deducted 1 star for the administrative communication. They last-minute switched me from an instructor-led course to a live training course and I had to ask for a partial refund since I paid more for an instructor-led course. I also had to ask them about scheduling me for the exam. I feel like there could have been more proactive communication from their part.
I had a great experience with the Sprintzeal Team. The trainer was very knowledgeable and catered the learning experience to the class needs. The Sprintzeal team was on top of any of my needs and provided support during the training process. Highly recommend.
Great training organization. Communication was timely, they answered any questions I had and provided follow up support. I would recommend sprintzeal to others.
My rep was outstanding and the company really worked with me to get the training I needed in a timely manner. The instructor was extremely knowledgeable and taught on a level that made the learning a fun experience.
I completed the PMP course this week with instructor Hans. He is very knowledgeable and did a great job of presenting the information. Steve Jones at Sprintzeal was extremely helpful and responsive. Great Job!
As a trainer for Sprintzeal I have the honor of working with a great account manager named Ryan Carson, he has provided a great experience for me and always has the customer in mind. Great Job Ryan! Keep up the great work.
We had Mr. Rodney Dove as a trainer and he was very knowledgeable of the topic and had worked as a PM prior to teaching. He gave real world examples of PM work. We went through the entire PMBOK manual cover to cover and discussed some about Agile, just in case there were questions there. It was a very thorough and well-timed course. We were given copies of the course materials also as well as templates for each part of the PM process. Sprintzeal fulfills the necessary 35 units for the application for the PMP. They give you a PMBOK and sample tests for review. With a little more study and preparation, I will be ready for the exam. I recommend these folks for PMP bootcamp courses.
I feel more confident and prepared for the PMP test as a result of taking this course. I highly recommend Hans as an instructor.
The course was very informative and interesting throughout the session, trainer gave live examples to explain making it easy to understand and absorb. Highly recommended.

Click here to view/download weekly team notes
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. -- In past years, Tennessee Tech runners have met with plenty of success at the Evansville Invitational, with several Golden Eagles establishing their personal best times on the course. On Saturday, coach Tony Cox will take his two teams back to the Evansville event, their final tuneup of the season before hosting the OVC Championships at the end of the month.
"Our kids have always enjoyed running in this meet at Evansville," Cox said.
Looking to lead the way for the Golden Eagle men's team are senior Sam Taylor and freshman Matthew Bishop. Taylor has been in the top three on the squad in every race this season, and led the team in the past two meets. Bishop led the team in the first two meets this season, and came in second in the two most recent meets.
Sophomore John Greene also looks to make a big impact for Tech. Greene placed third on the team in three of the four meets this season. Junior Daniel Francis, sophomore Chris Bishop, senior Ben Shassere, senior Joseph DeLorenzo and sophomore Nathan Livesey are the other returnees on the squad who are in postion to make a strong impact at Evansville.
The Tech men boast a strong group of freshmen runners. In addition to Matthew Bishop, Tyler Eads and Nathan Snow bring a lot of potential with them to Evansville.
The women's squad looks to be led by freshmen Rebecca Cline and Peri Winborne, two leaders in a solid freshman class. Winborne led the team at Sewanee and Western Kentucky, and came in second at the TTU Invitational and the latest run at Furman. Cline has been improving with each meet, from placing fourth at Sewanee to leading the team in the past two races. Other freshmen in position to make an impact include Amelia McCoy, Emily Williams, Brittney Brown and Meghan O'Donoghue.
The women have a strong returning class who are ready to set some personal best marks at Evansville. Junior Traci Jones, fresh off a new career-best at Furman, looks to build on her success last week. Junior Emily Weinzetl, also coming off a personal-best in the race last week, is in position to make an impact Saturday. Sophomore Beth Miller, in her first year competing in cross country for Tech, and junior Leah Bradley, a transfer from Georgia Southern, are set to make a mark in their first race at Evansville for Tech.
The race begins at 11 a.m., and complete meet results will be posted at TTUsports.com as soon as they become available.

Does originality have an inherent value? Your response to this question may well determine your reaction to Canadian classic rockers Zeus and their debut offering SayUs . If you aren't the sort to be put off by a band's lack of innovation and you enjoy mid-tempo upbeat guitar rock for its own sake, you may well find a lot to love here. If, however, you demand some attempt at sonic novelty from a record, look elsewhere.
Zeus were originally a backing band for Toronto based songwriter Jason Collet and their roots as the supporting men do show through in Say Us. Opting for a democratic approach to singing and song writing, each of the three core members takes their turn to be the main man, and yet they still achieve a remarkable coherence of sound throughout Say Us in a way vaguely reminiscent of Menomena's Mines. However, where Menomena used the multiple-songwriter format to create a sound of their own, Zeus seem content to rely very heavily on the classic rock sound of the Sixties and construct a record that feels overfamiliar. Each of the three singers has brought energy and real vocal talent in their transition from back-up to lead vocalist but none of them seem to have brought anything individual or distinctive to make them stand out from the crowd. Plus there are several points where Mike O'Brien, in particular, sounds quite a lot like Fran Healy from Travis.
That said, there is some really delightful and well-constructed music to be enjoyed on Say Us. From the feel-good anthemic ending to 'Kindergarten' - " All us people, we've got fire within us! " - to the gorgeous way the ending of 'Greater Times on the Wayside' bleeds into the opening to 'The River By the Garden', it's easy to appreciate a record put together skillfully by very talented players. 'You Gotta Teller' is, apparently, a live favourite; it's easy to work out why. It's probably the strongest song on here – one to check out if you want a flavour – the slightly distorted vocals, pounding drums and insistent organ drive the song along at a furious pace; it is easy to imagine crashing up and down to it being played live.
However, one place where the lack of originality is felt particularly strongly is in the lyrics: "feeling the fever of the time" and "my eyes are sick of crying" give you an idea of what's in store. Thankfully they are rarely as clunky as in the opening track though, "Friends you didn't have 'cause you were cruel" followed up by "And because you've never been to school". Couple this with some other straight-out-of-the-rhyming-dictionary couplets and a section that sounds not unlike Madness and 'How Does it Feel?' may be a rather off-putting opening.
Zeus acknowledge the financial support of the 'Department of Canadian Heritage' in the creation of this record, which is fitting as 'heritage' is a word that comes to mind here. Whether or not Say Us is the record for you will depend both on your tolerance for classic rock and on how highly you prize originality.

This post is a long time coming, and sort of anti-climactic, but I wanted to just finish off what I'd begun describing in the previous post.
We have, if you will recall:
class MapFromTuple a b where mapFromTuple :: a -> [b]
This is our handy way to marshal a heterogenous tuple into a uniformly-typed list. Now, we can perform our operations on this uniform list. The next step, however, is to go back from our transformed list to a heterogenous tuple. Immediately an answer presents itself:
class MapToTuple a b where mapToTuple :: [b] -> a
The instance declarations are correspondingly the inverse of those for MapFromTuple:
instance (Sat (MapToTupleD a x), Sat (MapToTupleD b x)) => MapToTuple (a,b) x where mapToTuple [a,b] = (fromGenD dict a, fromGenD dict b) instance (Sat (MapToTupleD a x), Sat (MapToTupleD b x), Sat (MapToTupleD c x)) => MapToTuple (a,b,c) x where mapToTuple [a,b,c] = (fromGenD dict a, fromGenD dict b, fromGenD dict c)
But there's a problem here. While mapFromTuple was a total function, mapToTuple is not, because it is polymorphic on its return type, not its argument type. So if we use mapToTuple in a casual fashion, we introduce a great deal of extra partiality. What we need is a way to carry the type context of our original tuple over to the return argument of mapToTuple, and thus guarantee that it yields the correct types in a correctly-sized tuple. And thus, we have the complete type signature for withValidation':
withValidation' :: (MapFromTuple a (String, ValidationFuncIntern s String Dynamic), MapToTuple a1 Dynamic, TupleMatchTwo a a1) => a -> (a1 -> HCGI r s t) -> HCGI r s t
The first restriction says that a is something which can be transformed into something of type (String, ValidationFunctionIntern s String Dynamic). The second restriction says that a1 is something which can be transformed *from* Dynamic. The trick here is the ridiculous TupleMatchTwo class, defined as such:
class TupleMatchTwo a b | a -> b where {} instance TupleMatchTwo () () instance TupleMatchTwo (Box (foo, bar-> mk a)) (Box a) instance TupleMatchTwo ((foo, bar -> mka a), (foo, bar -> mkb b)) (a,b) instance TupleMatchTwo ((foo, bar -> mka a), (foo, bar -> mkb b), (foo, bar -> mkc c)) (a,b,c)
… and soforth. Lots of boilerplate, but luckily, as with the other boilerplate instances, this is write-once boilerplate that saves us lots of work elsewhere. Although I'm probably butchering the term, what TupleMatchTwo gives us is a very limited type-level logic-programming function that "extracts" the last bit of a rather complicated signature from each of a set of tupled values, and returns them alone. Unfortunately, as its not a real type-level function, it has to be unrolled by hand. The end result, however, is that now we can extract what we "know" our return type must be from our argument type, and by asserting that return type statically at compile time, we can guarantee what we sought to from the beginning — that withValidation' can be passed an arbitrary tuple of validator functions and will produce only a well typed tuple of the corresponding validated inputs.
I might be asserting too much here, but it seems like this basic paradigm maps to 90% of the use cases for heterogeneous lists — we want to operate over them in a uniform way, and then we want to properly varigate our input again before exiting the library function.
This style of input is now in the current repo of hvac, for both validation and database functions. There are also a few other nice changes I plan to blog about soon, mainly along the lines of cleaning things up and reducing dependencies.
I've also run into a really nifty example of what can be done with this "tuple-level programming" in my current project — a little mini-dsl for SQL suitable for embedding into hvac, on which more later.

LABARRE, La. — State biologists are trying to determine what killed an estimated 500 birds that littered a quarter-mile stretch of highway in Pointe Coupee Parish.
The birds included red-winged blackbirds and starlings.
The birds were found Monday along Louisiana Highway 1, about 300 miles south of Beebe, Ark., where more than 3,000 blackbirds fell from the sky three days earlier. Authorities say examinations showed those birds suffered internal injuries that formed deadly blood clots.
Louisiana state biologists are sending some of the birds found at Labarre to laboratories in Georgia and Wisconsin for testing.

A staggering 80 percent of all the life on Earth is to be found hidden beneath the waves and this vast global ocean pulses around our world driving the natural forces which maintain life on our planet.
The oceans provide vital sources of protein, energy, minerals and other products of use the world over and the rolling of the sea across the planet creates over half our oxygen, drives weather systems and natural flows of energy and nutrients around the world, transports water masses many times greater than all the rivers on land combined and keeps the Earth habitable.
Without the global ocean there would be no life on Earth.
It is gravely worrying, then, that we are damaging the oceans on a scale that is unimaginable to most people.
We now know that human activity can have serious impacts on the vital forces governing our planet. We have fundamentally changed our global climate and are just beginning to understand the consequences of that.
As yet largely unseen, but just as serious, are the impacts we are having on the oceans.
A healthy ocean has diverse ecosystems and robust habitats. The actual state of our oceans is a far cry from this natural norm.
A myriad of human pressures are being exerted both directly and indirectly on ocean ecosystems the world over. Consequently ecosystems are collapsing as marine species are driven towards extinction and ocean habitats are destroyed. Degraded and stripped of their diversity, ocean ecosystems are losing their inherent resilience.
We need to defend our oceans because without them, life on Earth cannot exist.
We need to defend them now more than ever, because the oceans need all the resilience they can muster in the face of climate change and the potentially disasterous impacts this is already beginning to produce in the marine world.
The Greenpeace Defending our Oceans campaign sets out to protect and preserve our oceans now and for the future by setting aside swathes of the global oceans from exploitation and controllable human pressure, allowing these areas the respite they so desperately need for recovery and renewal.
Building on a protection and recovery system established to manage land based over-exploitation, Marine Reserves are the ocean equivalent of national parks.
Marine Reserves are a scientifically developed and endorsed approach to redressing the crisis in our oceans which work alongside a range of other measures designed to ensure that the demands we make of our oceans are managed sustainably.
Beyond Marine Reserves we need to tackle a great many threats to the oceans' viability and find better ways of managing their resources. To this end, while Greenpeace campaigns for Marine Reserves, we also campaign against the acts which have brought the oceans to this point - we expose the countless pressures, reveal the threats, confront the villains and point to the solutions and measures necessary to create sustainable oceans.

Like most women, I've got a few less-than-healthy habits, which is why I was glad to learn that there are some novel techniques designed to undo them. I tested out three for a week to see if I could get my ugly urges under control. See how I fared, then try them yourself.
Addicted to the tube
I grew up in a TV-permissive household, and, 30 years later, I can't help turning on the thing when I spy the remote. As a result, the television is almost always blaring in my home, dominating my attention and time in a way that depresses me. Plus, the drone of the set makes my husband nuts.
The quit tip: Consider what you're sacrificing. My impulse to stare at the screen feels as natural to me as breathing, as many habits do. Although this type of reflexive action can be crucial when you need to make a lightning-fast judgment call (friend or foe?), it can backfire when it leads to a less beneficial choice (my watching The Real Housewives of New Jersey). It's essentially a default behavior, a rut I've fallen into that has persisted because it takes too much energy to change, explains Wray Herbert, author of On Second Thought. To stop, he suggests that I consciously think about what valuable resource the behavior is costing me. "We're naturally inclined to value what's scarce," he says. That's easy—with two young sons in the mix, it's my free time.
Did it work? Like a charm! Whenever I had an urge to channel-surf, I pondered whether random flipping was truly how I wanted to spend my spare minutes. After three days, I was ticked off at myself for giving up the chance to do something I loved (lose myself in a good book) for something I didn't care about (watching a show for the fifth time). Midway through the week, after zoning in front of Real Housewives, I powered off and picked up a novel I'd long been meaning to finish. A month later, I've cut my TV time by a quarter.
Saying yes when you mean no
I'm not talking about sex. I have a long-standing habit of agreeing to things when I shouldn't—crazy deadlines, favors that wildly disrupt my schedule—then freaking out when mayhem inevitably ensues.
The quit tip: Become more aware. For me, saying yes is the path of least resistance—usually, I'm nodding before someone has even finished an inconvenient request. So I signed up for a week of emails from HabitChanger.com, a site that uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to change semiautomatic habits. Specifically, you get a barrage of cheerleading or instructional texts and messages designed to interrupt your impulse. The hope is that once you become more tuned in to your typical behavior, you can change the way you respond.
Did it work? Partly. A peppering of four or five missives every day for a week (the program is normally 42 days; I did a modified version) made me much more aware of my tendency to sabotage myself. I got an especially relevant email on a day when I'd agreed to take my sons to visit my parents 90 minutes away, stop at Costco to do the family shopping and drive home in time to make it to a book group (for which I hadn't finished the book). "Eliminate the word should from your vocabulary," the message instructed. "Replace it with would like to." I wish I'd read it a day earlier, when I could have said, "I'd like to…but I can't," to one or more of the above activities. Maybe next time!
Starbucks's best customer
Like millions before me, I've spent the equivalent of a mortgage payment at Starbucks. Whenever I pass one, which, in New York City, is about every three blocks, I drift inside as if on a conveyor belt. Each morning, when I leave my apartment with my boys in tow, I drop by the one on the first floor of our building. Later, I do it again. Expense aside, I hate being a slave to this impulse.
The quit tip:Zen out. Simple meditation exercises, such as noticing your breath, can help you get off autopilot, says Martine Batchelor, author of Let Go: A Buddhist Guide to Breaking Free of Habits. She tells me to notice what I see, hear, smell and touch as I head out on the street: "Before you leave home, be aware of your hand on the stroller," she says. She also tells me to bring something to sip, because I associate Starbucks with a drink.
"The two main elements of meditation—concentration and inquiry—are key to getting control of your actions," Batchelor explains. "Concentration helps because every time you come back to your breath, your body, a mantra or whatever your meditation is, you dissolve the habit's power," she notes. Inquiry, she tells me, is what follows. "It's like a beam of light," she says. "Normally, you find yourself at Starbucks before you think about it. With inquiry, you notice the details of the experience, you take the time to observe when and how the habit arises, and you become a little more aware that you don't want to do it."
Did it work? Absolutely. The first morning, I head out the door armed with an iced tea I made at home. Then I look down at my son's hair through the plastic moonroof of the stroller and feel the roughness of the foam handle. As I watch my son fidgeting with his sunglasses, I savor the sweetness of my iced tea. With all the things I'm noticing, I become aware of this stunning fact: I don't feel like going into Starbucks. I try to intuit why I'm normally drawn to the store. It's a treat, I realize. Or it was. What it has become is an expensive habit that I no longer have to indulge, especially with all the other things capturing my attention. I steer the stroller away and keep going, past four more Starbucks. I don't stop at any. It's as if a string has been cut. I'm finally free.

Comfort Slacks' New Video Makes Me Want To Get Baked… Goods.
Napa's Comfort Slacks released their official video this weekend for "Biscuit on My Six," and it's highly suggested you watch it. This band makes catchy, fun music that's so irreverent it's hard not to find something to love in each song.
In this video, see if you can spot the following: Shake Weight™, a judge, weatherman, a toaster that has the word "cooking" hand painted on it, Etch-a-Sketch™, a man getting a haircut, wine in a coffee mug, a comically large "cigarette," plastic He-Man™ toy, gold hotpants, underpants that fit four people at once.
The video, which is a genius riff on a local morning television talk show, dares the viewer to contemplete: What's your favorite type of biscuit? Blueberry? Dog? Gluten-free? Whisker? Sweet? Buttermilk?
It's a great video, but I have to say I'm a little disappointed that this isn't an actual show. I'd watch it every morning.

The Triton 220
The Triton Series exemplifies what Sea Hunt Boat Company was founded on, the principle that people desire an affordable boat with excellent performance, a layout with lots of room and great fishing features. Each Triton comes with large fish boxes, aerated livewells and lockable console storage space. What separates the Triton series from the rest of the pack is the performance. With a sharp entry deadrise and dry Carolina Flair, comfort does not have to come at a price; it comes standard in the Triton Series.


text: Costs go beyond the elevator and remodeling the side of house. Other costs may include reinforcing the foundation and roof and upgrading the electricity service. You're talking $50K minimum and more likely $100K. You'd pay less to move to a single story house and also be much happier. Then there's reliability. Elevators are notorious for failing. Just hope you're on the ground floor. But what if you're on the second floor during failure? Or worse, what if you're inside? A person in a wheelchair would require a pretty good service contract for an elevator. The elevator companies often sell elevators at cost just to get the service contract, which is their bread and butter. Service contracts are necessary and expensive.

IU Bloomington, the main campus in the Indiana University system, makes its home in this little-known Indiana city, adjacent to the scenic Yellowwood State Forest. A big school at roughly 43,000, IU Bloomington has the resources for outstanding programs in fields such as arts, science, law, music, business education, and journalism. It's not all large classes and studying, though: the campus has its own massive football stadium and Sembower Baseball Field, and since the 1970s, the school's basketball team has been known as one of the best in its league. Like true Indiana patriots, students here go by the nickname "the Hoosiers," the epithet for anyone hailing from this state.
Never heard of Bloomington? Not to worry. An off-campus apartment will give you more of a chance to explore just what this college town has to offer, and seeing as how only 38% of undergraduates live in campus housing, off-campus roommates should be easy to come by. The best way to get started on your search for rentals in Bloomington is with our helpful online apartment guide. Bloomington (true to its name, I suppose!) is a beautiful place to walk around, and there are many apartments available close to campus, tailored especially for students. You can find out a little more about what the average day-to-day experience is like for students by checking out our college life link.
If you're an outdoorsy type, you should visit Monroe Lake, or explore the vast Brown County State Park just to the east of town. Hoosier National Forest is another favorite

Naked murdered woman in wheelie bin tattoo, decapitated female golf tees: more exhibits from the war on women frontline
Inscribing Violence: murder and sexual abuse so banal it's art
WARNING. Graphic image/content
The end of this week has left me reeling. How to even describe the latest violence against women horror exhibits? How to name the casual everyday way these mementos from the frontline of the war on women have become normalised in our culture?
First, the tattoo (slightly censored below). This atrocity is the production of local Brisbane tattoo artist Ryan Parsons, who works at Black Throne Tattoo. To design this image of a woman bound, naked, dumped in a wheelie bin for birds to feast on and then to inscribe the violence permanently into a human body – how do you actually do that? And then to laugh about it, to abuse your critics and to claim you care for women because you have a girlfriend and a daughter….like that then absolves you?
The murder and sexual assault of women is so banal it's to be treated as body decoration now.
So proud was Parsons of his design, he thought it deserved a wider audience. He uploaded a photo of the tattoo to Instagram with the hash-tagged 'fuck women's rights' and 'bash women'.
Instantly criticised on social media, he responded:
Sheena who blogs at 'She The Warrior' received this reply to her complaint:
From: email@example.com
Subject: Re: Complaint regarding Ryan Parsons
Date: Tue, 1 Jul 2014 15:24:11 +1000
Hello Sheena,
Ryan will be posting an apology today.
Black Throne Tattoo in no way supports Misogyny or violence of any kind.
The posts put up by Ryan were his own doing on his own social media.
Parsons removed the image, but was hardly contrite. He claimed the image was taken down after a complaint by a 'homo' and then uploaded this 'community service' announcement (which makes no sense, unless by 'homo' he means another lesbian, unless gay men have particular uses for vagisil that I don't know about).
And here's Parson's 'apology' on Tuesday July 1. Note it did not appear on his business page or on Black Throne's website or social media pages. Given that Black Throne claim not to support what he did and asked him to remove the image, surely a more visible apology is warranted?
I am not sure we should take Parson's word for it on the origins of the tattoo being the design of a woman abused in same-sex relationships. The woman is apparently a lesbian. Parson's condemns one of the complainants who pressured him remove it as a 'homo', which seems odd given his same-sex client. Then above he describes the image as a 'hooker in a wheelie bin'. So, the alleged client requested an image of a dead hooker whose genitals are fed on by birds to be tattooed on her body. I'm not saying it's not possible that a woman could make such a request (and even if she did, it is ethical to do whatever a paying customer requests, especially when the artists claims to be against violence against women?). I would just like to see some evidence
I emailed Parsons early yesterday afternoon and asked to be put in touch with his client, to ask her some questions about why she got the tattoo, where it appeared on her body, the comments she may have received for it, and if she had any regrets (I said I would protect her identity, which I would). No reply so far.
Evidence that Parson's has encouraged more violent attitudes against women is not hard to find. Note the comment of ell_madness in response to another Parson image posted after the apology: #needsmoredeadhookers.

Decapitated female bodies: for your golfing pleasure
Of course 'art' isn't the only beneficiary of rampant and endemic women hatred.
Have a look at this latest golf accessory from Dunlop. The ball becomes the 'head' which you can smash off during a great day out with your golfing buds.
The golf accessory manufactured to resemble naked, armless and decapitated female bodies.
The "Nudie Tee" (get it – nudity – hilarious yes?) is the golfing tee for the male golfer with a great sense of humour, on sale for a song just 2.99 pounds from Amazon and Ebay (shame on those companies too from profiting from violence against women).
Perhaps these companies and those who buy such products forget that real women are decapitated? Or perhaps they just don't care. Karen Ingala Smith documents the murders of women on her website 'Counting Dead Women' . Six of the women named are UK women who have been decapitated since January 2012.
Anti violence against women worker and advisor to the UK Government Joanne Sharpen has launched a Change.org petition. Please add your name now.
Dunlop are currently selling a golf tee in the shape of a decapitated naked woman's body.
I work in the violence against women and girls sector and I am so frustrated about these sorts of products as they help to produce a context and a society that normalises abuse of women. I work with victims of abuse and this really can have a huge impact.
In the UK two women a week are murdered by current or former partners andone in four women experience domestic violence over their lifetimes. The mainstreaming of women as sexual objects in popular culture contributes to creating a conducive context in which violence against women and girls (VAWG) is normalised and accepted.
The Sexualisation of Young People Review found there is 'a clear link between consumption of sexualised images, a tendency to view women as objects and the acceptance of aggressive attitudes and behaviour as the norm'. The devaluing of women in the way they are represented in society is an important factor perpetuating VAWG. 'Turning to mainstream media, experimental studies among young adults find that males and females exposed to sexualised or objectifying content are more accepting of rape myths, violence-supportive and adversarial beliefs.
By developing this awful product featuring decapitated naked women's bodies, Dunlop are helping to perpetuate violence against women and girls. Of the two women a week murdered in the UK this year, two were decapitated. Every time a golfer hits a ball from one of these tees, they are effectively condoning abuse and making a mockery of the women who are assaulted on a daily basis as well as those who do not survive.
'It is likely much easier to harm a women when she is perceived as more animalistic and less human'
The UN Commission on the Status of Women Expert panel made the following relevant recommendation:
Strengthen regulatory frameworks with regard to media, advertising imagery, texts, games and other popular culture mediums which portray women or girls in a discriminatory, degrading or stereotypical way.
We cannot understand the reasoning behind this product and call on Dunlop Sport to recognise the devastating impact of such items, to remove the product from sale immediately and to donate profits from this awful item to a domestic violence charity.

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - EU antitrust regulators have given some of Google's rivals more time to study its proposals to settle anti-competitive complaints, which could provide more leverage to pry further concessions from the Internet search giant.
The European Commission last month told interested parties they had until May 26 to say if they are satisfied with the offer by the world's most popular search engine to mark out its services from rival products in Internet search results.
The EU antitrust authority has given some rivals until June 27 to complete their technical analysis of Google's proposals, said one person familiar with the matter.
The regulator is able to grant extensions if there are strong grounds for doing so. A Commission competition spokesman, Antoine Colombani, declined to comment on the Google case.
Several Google competitors and complainants about the company's practices have been critical of the proposed settlement, which includes providing links to at least three competing search engines, and allowing rivals to stop Google from using specific information.
According to British price comparison site Foundem, Google's offer would only reinforce its dominance. Google has more than 80 percent share of the market in Europe, according to research firm comScore.
Other critics said the proposal would force rivals to compete among themselves, raising their costs and increasing merchants' dependency on Google.
If Google clinches a deal with the Commission, it would avoid a finding of infringement of competition rules and a possible fine that could be as much as $5 billion or 10 percent of its global revenue.

Create games beyond your imagination with the Unreal Development Kit
In Detail
Unreal Development Kit is the free edition of Unreal Engine—the largest game engine in existence with hundreds of shipped commercial titles. The Unreal Engine is a very powerful tool for game development but with something so complex it's hard to know where to start.
This book will teach you how to use the UnrealScript language to create your own games with the Unreal Development Kit by using an example game that you can create and play for yourself. It breaks down the UnrealScript language into easy to follow chapters that will quickly bring you up to speed with UnrealScript game programming.
Unreal Development Kit Game Programming with UnrealScript takes you through the UnrealScript language for the Unreal Development Kit. It starts by walking through a project setup and setting up programs to write and browse code. It then takes you through using variables, functions, and custom classes to alter the game's behavior and create our own functionality. The use and creation of Kismet is also covered. Later, using replication to create and test multiplayer games is discussed. The book closes with code optimization and error handling as well as a few of the less common but useful features of UnrealScript.

Raymarine Legacy Product
First generation RMK-9 Remote Keypad is now retired and the following information is for reference purposes only.
Find out more about the new RMK-10 Remote Keypad
The Raymarine RMK-9 Remote Keypad is an ultra-compact wired keypad accessory that provides full control of aSeries, cSeries, eSeries and gS Series Multifunction Displays (MFDs) from any mounting location.
The fully backlit RMK-9 includes dedicated keys for home, menu, zoom in/out, window control, waypoint management, power/brightness as well as Evolution autopilot control.
RMK-9 also features the same convenient Unicontroller with integrated joystick and rotary knob as found on cSeries and eSeries MFDs.
The RMK-9 can be surface mounted or flush mounted, and includes key mats for either horizontal or vertical installation. This gives you the flexibility to install the RMK-9 just about anywhere.
The RMK-9 is the perfect solution for controlling MFD's mounted beyond arm's reach, or in overhead electronics boxes. Instead of reaching for the MFD, the RMK-9 brings the system's controls to you.
For the ultimate in convenience, mount the RMK-9 in the arm of your favorite helm chair. Now it's easy to sit back, relax and enjoy the ride on autopilot, while still being able to interact with your navigation system.
RMK-9 is also great for bringing remote system control to secondary monitors and onboard LCD TV sets connected to the VGA or HDMI output of select e-Series and gS-Series displays. Now you can see and control your Raymarine navigation system from a below-deck navigation table, salon or stateroom.
Utilising Raymarine's RayNet high speed networking, the RMK-9 can be setup to control a single multifunction display, or multiple displays mounted at the same location. When controlling multiple displays on the same helm, the RMK-9 provides seamless control across all of the displays.
When used with aSeries or gS Series Multitouch displays, the RMK-9 brings full HybridTouch™ control capability to these products. The RMK-9 integrates seamlessly with the LightHouse II user interface and allows the navigation system to be operated 100% by touch, 100% by keypad, or any variation in between.
The keypad can be mounted horizontally or vertically with a keypad mat for both orientations supplied.
The RMK-9 Remote is compatible with the following Raymarine multifunction displays:
5.7" to 12.1" touchscreen network displays
9" and 12.1" keypad controlled network displays

Easy instruction for placing my order. When they came in my husband took about 20 minutes to put them up (he's a contractor so has all the tools & skills). I'm really pleased with the look in my new roomView this product
"Fabulous Window Treatments"

I can't say enough about these blinds. They were super easy to order, very reasonable, and look fantastic. My husband installed them pretty quickly and everyone who sees them asks where we got them and if they were professionally installed. Would order again from this website!View this product

If economic sanctions were key to forcing Iran to accept limits on its nuclear program, wouldn't more sanctions have an even greater effect?
Critics of last week's interim nuclear deal with Tehran certainly think so.
It didn't take long for them to denounce the agreement. "This is a bad deal — a very, very bad deal," said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. "A surrender," agreed former presidential candidate Newt Gingrich — "the Munich of the Middle East."
In the view of the Obama administration as well as the naysayers, the effectiveness of sanctions brought Iran to the table. So why not double down on the punitive approach instead of settling for an interim six-month deal that allows Iran to continue enriching uranium as long as it stays within negotiated limits?
The deal between Iran and six world powers also reduces Tehran's stockpile of highly enriched uranium, puts a ceiling on its store of low-enriched uranium and makes it harder for Iran to build a nuclear weapon without being detected.
But what the critics wanted was an agreement that stripped Iran of all its nuclear technology — immediately. If Iran wouldn't agree, they argued, then stricter sanctions should be imposed until it did.
Here's what's wrong with that logic: As a practical matter, more sanctions aren't available.
The sanctions the United States and its allies have clamped on Iran's economy over the last decade have been among the most effective in history. Iran's oil exports have been cut by almost two-thirds since 2011, its currency has plummeted and inflation has soared to an estimated 50%.
But the sanctions have worked, in large part, because they've been almost universally supported. Countries enforcing the measures have included not only the United States, the European Union and China but also important trading nations that aren't in the negotiations, such as Japan and South Korea.
Sanctions imposed by just one country are rarely effective in forcing a rogue regime to change course. Just look at Cuba, which has been under a U.S. trade embargo for 53 years.
But sanctions with broad participation around the world can work, as they have in Iran.
The problem for the United States is that its ability to impose multilateral sanctions is limited by what its allies are willing to do. That has little to do with the decline of American power, real or imagined; it was true in the Cold War too. (Once again, see Cuba.)
In this case, Obama administration officials and foreign diplomats say, other countries aren't willing to impose new sanctions on Iran when a deal they consider reasonable appears within reach. That's true not only of China and Russia, which have historically been unenthusiastic about sanctions, but Britain and others as well.
"We wouldn't be able to hold everyone together if we didn't take this deal," one U.S. official said. "The sanctions would start to fray."
In the critics' view, the very act of loosening a few sanctions could cause all of them to fray. The interim deal struck last weekend, they note, will allow Iran to recoup about $7 billion, mostly from oil earnings, over the next six months. And once that kind of easing happens, the critics say, it will be like pulling a string; the whole ball could begin to unravel.
Obama administration officials insist that won't happen. They say they'll be vigilant in patrolling the sanctions that remain; "we won't turn a blind eye to anything," one said.
Indeed, officials say they are relying on the remaining sanctions, which will deprive Iran of more than $30 billion in oil revenue during the same six months, to keep the Tehran government interested in a long-term agreement with tighter limits on its nuclear program.
"At the end of six months, the sanctions will still be there," one senior official promised. "It's not as if in six months Iran will be free from pressure."
The next six months (or 12 months, or however long it takes for negotiations to succeed or fail) will show who's right. It's possible that once Iran's leaders have tasted the economic boost a modest relaxation of sanctions will bring, they'll be hungry for more. But it's also possible that Iran is just trying to buy time, undermine support for sanctions and look for ways to divide the United States from its allies. One purpose of the interim agreement is to learn which Iran it will be.
If the negotiations succeed, Iran will be allowed to continue enriching modest amounts of uranium — a concession by the U.S. and its allies — but under stringent controls that prevent it from producing nuclear weapons. If the negotiations fail, President Obama and his allies say they'll try to ratchet sanctions up once more, and they'll be right — but not until then.

A Guest Cottage Suited for Relaxing
The outdoor gathering areas and guest cottage at the Napa Showhouse encourage guests to relax and revive
- « prev

- 1 of 15
Unwinding with a glass of Pinot Noir only gets better when you can rest your glass—and yourself—on a perch with views of the Napa vineyard that produced that very vintage. Designers at the 2016 Napa Valley Showhouse put Wine Country's casually sophisticated vibe in play as they shaped gathering and guest spaces that nod to the region's organic roots while also incorporating stylishly contemporary twists. Poolside sips, alfresco eats, and late-night chat sessions ever so rarely look this good.

Outdoor kitchen by Melanie Coddington
Cooking for a crowd is easy in the kitchen that designer Melanie Coddington designed using DCS by Fisher & Paykel appliances set into Eldorado Stone and outfitted with countertops from Dekton by Cosentino.

Overlooking the vineyard and with a comfortable seating area just steps away, the kitchen carries a casual vibe suited to alfresco cooking and dining. "It's a place guests feel right at home, day or night," Coddington says.
Pool area by Melanie Coddington
Coddington divided the spacious outdoor area into intimate gathering spots to set a cozy, convivial mood. "A palette of navy and aubergine, grounded with shades of oyster and taupe, creates a look that's seasonless but really highlights the beauty of Napa Valley in the fall," she says.

TANGERANG, Indonesia (AP) ? Potbellied police in Indonesia's capital have been ordered to exercise, exchanging their uniforms twice a week for sweats and sneakers as they line up for aerobics and push-ups to try to drop a few pounds.
Anyone over 100 kilograms (220 pounds) must follow the weight-loss program started because of the growing number of overweight officers and the perception that they are unable to provide public protection, Jakarta police spokesman Col. Rikwanto said Wednesday. Like many Indonesians he uses only one name.
He said stress, sedentary lifestyles and junk food have made the capital's police officers put on unwanted weight. Registration that began last week has already enrolled nearly 300 heavy officers, and anyone deemed too fat will be required to exercise at least twice a week. He added that there are plans to expand the program nationwide.
No one will be punished for not losing weight, but the officers are not allowed to skip the exercise sessions. They can work at their own pace and are not required to follow strict diets.
A similar program was started last month by police in Tangerang, a city on the outskirts of Jakarta with 1,470 police officers. They hired trainers to help 132 overweight officers get into shape. The program also involves a medical team that helps to monitor diets and health issues.
"The fat and paunchy cops can't expect to catch fleeing criminals," said Tangerang Police Chief Col. Wahyu Widada, while joining Tuesday afternoon's exercise session along with hundreds of other officers, including obese cops. "This program is aimed at changing their unhealthy lifestyles."
Some officers said they have managed to lose up to 2 kilograms (almost 4.5 pounds) after joining the program a month ago. Others said they've seen no change.
"I was embarrassed by my appearance. They keep motivating me ... it's hard, but I have to try," said Sgt. Sugiar, who weighs about 130 kilograms (286 pounds) and stands 175 centimeters (5 feet 7 inches) tall. "No changes so far."
Indonesian police are typically viewed negatively by the public in a country where corruption runs rampant and officers have been involved in taking bribes.

HolyWeaves Exchange Policy
Please allow for some color difference from the images due to variations in how cameras read colors, how different screen types reproduce colors differently and also how colors look different in different lighting conditions. For instance, product colors will look more vibrant on hd screens compared to non-hd screens, and in yellow lights compared to white lights. We also recommend keeping the color/saturation setting on your device to standard.
Please note that the exact feel of a product depends on many factors beside the type of yarns used. These include the type of weaving, the nature of design, use of zari in motifs, the thickness of yarns, whether yarns are twisted before weaving, the finishing applied on the finished products, et al. These factors together can make one product feel different from another even if both use the same yarn type. Despite our best efforts, some of these product characteristics may not be adequately captured in product images. We highly recommend that you consider the unique product characteristics and make a smart choice that best suits your taste.
Many yarns used in our products are hand-dyed. Despite our best efforts, some colours may not be fast and can bleed if washed. Hence we only recommend dry clean for our products. There is no guarantee of colour or Zari.
