The problem of training dentists in Russia is particularly exacerbated in the XIX century. Zubolikarska care provided to patients is not due to lack of staff, because they are not prepared or in Russia (until 1881) nor in Ukraine (in 1900). In this regard, a prominent surgeon of that time, MV Sklifosovsky the VI Congress of naturalists and physicians were substantiated proposal to the need for dentists with higher medical education in medical faculties of universities. But after the First World War the issue of training of medical staff dentist who can provide specialized help kfalifikovanu, began to take real shape.In Kharkov and Kiev and zubolikarskyh medical circles of the years vynoshuvalasya thought that skilled and specialized dental care population of Ukraine will be able to provide only doctors who have chosen the profession of a dentist from the beginning of the first steps of training on dental faculties of medical institutes or institutes of dental medicine where the training period may be limited to four years.September 30, 1921 Ukrholovprofosu board decided to create odontology department in the Kharkiv Medical Academy and relevant arrangements, as well as recruitment of students and scientific personnel. November 8, 1921 at a small college sasidanni Ukrholovprofosu decision was made to transform the Kharkiv Medical Academy of Medical Institute with two faculties: medical and odontology. This historic decision was laid the foundation of higher dental education in Ukraine as an integral branch of dentistry recognized the clinical medicine.
Right odontology department inherited in 1931 from Kharkov Institute of Dentistry, from 1967 – Poltava Medical Stomatological Institute, and the first since 1994 – Ukrainian Medical Stomatological/Dental Academy (UMSA) . In its formation and development of Ukrainian Medical Dental Academy was a thorny path, which can be conventionally divided into six periods: the first – from the moment of odontology department of the Kharkiv Medical Academy (1921 – 1931), second – from the moment of transformation in the faculty of independent dental Kharkov Institute ( 1931 – 1941), third – period evikuatsiyi in Frunze (Kyrhyzska SSR) and its functioning as a medical school faculty Kyrhyzskoho (1941 – 1944); fourth – reevakuatsiya in Kharkiv after its liberation from Nazi invaders, restoration of base training and further development of scientific research (1944 – 1967), fifth – the transfer of Poltava and its transformation in Poltava Medical Stomatological Institute (1968 – 1993); sixth – in 1994, converting from the Institute of Ukrainian Medical Stomatological Academy.
The first period (1921 – 1931)
Sklifosovsky In September 1921 the first year odontology department of Kharkiv Medical Academy began training 250 people with secondary education. The second course enrolled 169 students who went on 2 zubolikarskoyi shkolyi course during the summer holidays prostudiyuvaly reduced rate of medical and biological sciences. When faculty were created 4 special department of conservative dentistry to propaedeutical odontology (Head – Professor M. Hofunh), prosthetic dentistry in orthodontics (the head – IA Baranov) operative dentistry of the jaw orthopedics and oral surgery separate and adjacent areas (Head – Professor B. maker). Theoretical and obscheklinicheskie subjects were studied in the relevant departments of the institute. Core faculty base was Kharkov State zubolikarska school.
During its existence the Faculty formed capable, qualified, friendly staff, who along with solving educational problems made a significant contribution to the development of medical science. Personnel Department created 13 teaching aids in dentistry and a large number of manuals for students. Among the teachers who worked in those years on the faculty, was known anatomist Academician VP Vorobyov, author of famous works of modern methods of embalming. That he was entrusted in 1924 to embalm the body of Lenin.
Summing up the first decade of the faculty, it should be noted that he, together with the Faculty of odontology KMI became the first specialized universities for the training of dentists, dental education teaching centers in Ukraine.
The second period (1931 – 1941)
The process of formation and further development of dental faculty and the institute was held in very difficult conditions prevailing in the early 30's. The economic difficulties that this country was going through, finding ways out of them demanded measures to protect human health, expand the network of hospitals, sanatoriums, rest homes, clinics, dental clinics and so on. To solve these and other tasks can be only provided a quality training of dental personnel.
At that time, in August 1931, Dental Faculty of the Kharkov Medical Institute was reorganized into an independent Kharkov Institute of Dental 4-year term of study. 3 were created special departments: surgical dentistry, dental therapy, prosthetic dentistry. Each department has its training base. The school was staffed by highly qualified teaching staff. Director of the Institute appointed MV Nezhdanova, deputy of scientific study – Professor M. Hofunh. Almost all teachers in special departments have higher medical education.
From September 1931 to September 1941 Institute has prepared 650 doctors, and all of 1921 – 913 dentists. In addition, the correspondence office, and external retraining courses completed more than 2500 dentists, they have qualified dentists.
The third period (1941 – 1944)
June 22, 1941 in the building on the street. Pushkin, 7 held a scientific conference. At 11 o'clock 45 minutes was a break, during which it became aware of the treacherous attack of fascist Germany on the Soviet Union. Anger and resentment aroused in teachers and students of this message. They knew what evil befell the people of the state, home.
On June 23 the Institute held a release specialists dentists. Diplomas dentist was presented to 180 students. 62 students were transferred to another course, 132 – the third, 130 – on the fourth. The same day, Director of the Institute GA Lychman issued an order that required release of the study or the work of all who call be subject to the Red Army, they find a replacement, fully pay salaries, to take them all the affairs and property. Then the order required to reorganize the group in all courses to schedule, organize training for the reduced plan of the USSR People's Commissariat of Health in accordance with special instructions. Kharkov Dental Institute in the first period in the army sent 45 persons: 27 teachers, 16 staff and 2 students.
Fourth period (June 1944 – May 1967)
Work in operating this time in the history of Ukrainian Medical Stomatological/Dental Academy (UMSA) characterized reevakuatsiyeyu Institute in Kharkov, its formation and development in the postwar period. Director of the Institute in July 1944 was appointed Professor PV Vlasenko – an experienced organizer, a distinguished scientist, a biologist by education. Administration Institute and some medico-biological department were placed in 4-storey building on the street. , 53. Anatomical Department were common for students of medical and dental institutions, based on Kharkiv Medical Institute. Obscheklinicheskie Department were located at the bases of urban hospitals (Children's 2 nd Soviet and Ying).. Chairs respiratory diseases and eye diseases – based on relevant research institutes, and skin-venereal disease – based on the 4 th venerichnoyu STI clinic.
In 1954 the Soviet government decree dental institutions were reorganized in the dental faculties of medical schools, but two of them – Moscow and Kharkov – left independent dental health institutes. The main areas of scientific research institute employees in the postwar years in dentistry were continuing clinical and morphological and clinical-microbiological study of diseases of teeth and development of methods for their treatment. During these years, along with therapists, surgeons and dentists in the development and improvement of complex treatment of periodontal diseases, injuries, maxillofacial area and the restoration of defective dentition made a significant contribution orthopedic dentists.
Materials Research postwar period are summarized in the doctoral and master's theses. During these years laid the foundation of several dozens of doctoral and master's theses.
Fifth period (1968 – 1993)
May 12, 1967 the USSR Council of Ministers adopted resolution number 294 to transfer the Kharkiv Medical Dental Institute in Poltava. In this regard, Ministry of Health Ukraine May 18, the same year issued an order number 269 to transfer the Kharkiv Medical Dental Institute in Poltava during 1967-1968 was carried out two phases of transfer.
At first – in July – August 1967 – was conducted redeployment of departments of medical-biological profile, and their resettlement in Poltava in the 4-story building on Shevchenko, 23 before the school year, until September 1, 1967 In the second stage – in July – August 1968 – were relocated clinical department, in particular, and dental, profile and made training bases for their position to the start of classes.
Students of dental and medical schools fully equipped workstations, equipped with modern apparatus and equipment. For lectures 7 classrooms used for 150-250 seats each, which allows classes with students in one shift.

Hi I'm Marshall Coleman
I live in the South I'm in the chicken business. I've got five fearless daughters. I love to be and to do and I'm a Mormon.
About Me
Like many in my community I spend most of my time with my five daughters. They are the "why" of much of my week's activities. While I attended Brigham Young University my wife and I have lived in Florida, Texas and Georgia. We love the South and likely will spend the rest of our lives here if we have a choice. I spend most of my workin' day thinking about making food...lots of food. I've been a supplier to the food and restaurant business for much of the last 15 years. If you've eaten it at a national restaurant chain I've probably had a hand in making it.
Why I am a Mormon
I've always loved the spirituality of my religion. The gospel of Jesus Christ has always been something very spiritual to me. I feel a great connection to the Lord in the Mormon explanation of "why" I am here on earth and what my connection is with Heavenly Father. In addition to the Lord, my family, especially my girls, most define me and help me to grow. Heavenly Father's teaching that heaven is a place where husbands and wives can be together feels right to me. This doctrine defines our family relationship more than anything else.
How I live my faith
From an early age it's been my role to declare the gospel of Jesus Christ. I've always been a gregarious person, which gift has made it an enjoyable calling. Living outside of the West I have many opportunities to share elements of my faith. Whether its the fact I don't drink alcohol or that I attended Brigham Young, I'm always being asked about being a Mormon. Quite frankly I love it. Each Sunday I work with the full time missionaries (yes the ones in white shirts on bikes) to coordinate their efforts and help them find people to teach. It's a lot of hard work, it takes considerable amounts of time, we meet with rejection a lot more than we do success, and it's one of the most rewarding and enjoyable things I do.

How SEO outsourcing can help small businesses
Search engine optimization (SEO) is a very powerful tool that a business can use to market its brand online. Open Access BPO, a trendsetter in call center outsourcing in the Philippines, explains why this business solution is a perfect fit for small businesses.
It is easy for large businesses with a digital marketing department to gain access to the many benefits of SEO. However, startups and small businesses may find the integration of SEO practices challenging because of limited resources and the increasing need to focus on more important business aspects.
This is why outsourcing SEO services is a business initiative that works best for small companies trying to gain a foothold online. Here are some benefits that SEO outsourcing can bring to startup owners that prove why you should consider it for your business as well:
• Targeted traffic
The goal of providing companies better rankings in search engine result pages (SERPs) through SEO is taken to a whole new level when a campaign is outsourced. With SEO outsourcing, not only can a brand gain better exposure, its target audience is also taken into consideration in every step of the way. Even if your website has many visitors, if only a few of them are your intended audience, you still won't reach your goals.
• Improved website
For search engines to work in favor of your website, SEO experts need to make sure that it is of good quality. They go through everything and make sure that your website content is optimized according to SEO standards. As a result, your website gets better layout and interface, as well as improved content that your audience can enjoy.
• Higher conversion rates
A website that is optimized is fast, compatible with mobile devices, and easy to use. Since these better features can significantly increase the number of site visitors, you can also expect higher chances of visitors turning into actual customers or subscribers of your services. This only means higher revenues for you.
• Competitive advantage
SEO experts can help your brand outperform competing brands that offer similar products and services in terms of online presence. Because your brand is more visible in SERPs, prospective customers searching for sellers of desired items will most likely end up doing business with you. Even if your business is small, customers can choose you over bigger companies through high rankings that SEO outsourcing can give.
• Strong reputation
A company that is more visible online, particularly in SERPs, is automatically seen as reputable by online users. This adds credibility to your brand. Furthermore, by outsourcing SEO services, you can have experts who are aware of what optimization techniques are acceptable and ethical. Most companies fail eventually and are penalized by search engines because of illegal practices (spamming, shortcuts, fake accounts, etc.) that can only give temporary online standing.
With all these benefits in hand, small businesses can promote their brands effectively. Better online presence leads to more customers. The increased support can then lead to promising results, especially business growth. It is therefore wise for startups to outsource SEO services in order to enjoy these perks.

No one knows for absolute sure why some trees secrete resin. However, with the aid of some marvelous macrophotography, although the mystery surrounding this subject cannot be solved for certain, its beauty – at times deadly – becomes evident.
Resin is a chemical that oozes out of various trees. It is known as a secretion rather than an excretion. Excretions are purely waste products whereas, although the reasons behind resin are still a little obscure, most scientists believe that it has some sort of purpose or function. It is probably not simply to trap insects, although there is something almost morbidly satisfying about the sight of an insect being 'consumed' by resin. Perhaps it is the fact we have watched Jurassic Park too many times and take some satisfaction in imagining a scientist in the year ten thousand working out the DNA of an amber trapped insect. Most probably is the wonder of seeing something trapped in time as perfectly preserved as it was on the day it died.
Resin is a hydrocarbon – that is it is made up of two elements and two elements only – hydrogen and carbon. So, it also qualifies as a compound, which is when something is made up of two or more elements. What is more it can also be called an organic compound – which is when one of the elements has to be carbon. Some hydrocarbons are impure as they contain traces or have bonded with other substance, and the same can be said of resin, so in this sense it is impure. So, all in all resin is an impure organic compound hydrocarbon – which is quite a mouthful to say the least. Try saying that with your mouth full.
Resin has a multitude of uses and is highly valued the world over. It is used in varnishes, which is a hard and transparent finish and it is pretty obvious why that idea first occurred to someone centuries ago. It can also be used as an adhesive – perhaps the insects trapped inside it gave one of our ancestors that idea – and is one of the ingredients that can be used to glue or stick one thing to another. More surprisingly, perhaps, it is also used in the manufacture of perfume and incense. You may remember frankincense from a story about someone born round about two thousand years ago and given to him on his birthday – that started its life out as a resin although its manufacture does render it synthetic.
Resin is something of a puzzle and why plants secrete it has been the subject of heated debate for many years. Resins consist of compounds that do not seem to play any part in the main physiology (how something functions as a living organism) of the plants from which it comes. So some scientists do see it as a waste product – an excretion rather than a secretion. Others argue, however, that it is a secretion as it has many benefits to the plant. The compounds inside resins seem to have an effect on a wide range of insects and herbivores – a deadly one at that. Plus resin can also attract birds and insects that can stand its toxicity while at the same time snacking on the predators of the plant.
Resin is usually a viscous liquid – in every day terms viscosity is thickness so, for example water is think and honey is thick. You have already figured out which resin is. This liquid is made up of a large and very varied class of hydrocarbons known as terpenes. Strangely enough, plants are not the only living things that produce them – some termites and butterflies do as well. The bit that makes the resin sticky are dissolved solids. The constituents of resins can be separated by a lengthy process known as fractional distillation. The different compounds in resin have different boiling points and so they can be separated at the temperature at which they become gaseous and they can be collected on their own.
Some plants produce explosive resin. The Jeffrey Pine of California produces resin which is highly volatile – that mean it has, under the right circumstances – a tendency to vaporize. When people tried to distil it in nineteenth century America, they thought it was Ponderosa Pine resin. A number of distilleries exploded as a result of this mis-classification and the mistake was put right in something of a hurry. The reason behind the explosion was that the Jeffrey Pine resin was made up largely of pure heptanes – highly flammable. Distillation of Jeffrey Pine resin continues to be very dangerous to this day but the denizens of California have managed to get it right since the great pine explosions of 1852.
There are some resins which, when they are soft are called oleo-resins. When they contain either cinnamic or benzoic acid they are known as balsams – and these have traditionally been used in optics. They are also used in oil painting to produce a warm glow effect and have made their way in to at least one cough mixture as well. Most people have heard of amber – which is resin in its fossilized form. However, you can also get African Copal and again, as with amber there are often insects trapped inside, frozen in time. Copal is distinct from amber as – comparatively – it is very young, under a million years old.
Resin is first visible on the bark of a tree as a tiny bubble, much like when your skin is pricked and blood forms a perfect but minute sphere. Many people have uncomfortable first contact with resin. They will lean against a tree or sit upon one and when they remove themselves they will find that they have resin sticking all over their clothes. As is the case with chewing gum – rather than wash the clothing in order to remove the substance it is a much better idea to put them in a freezer and then chip off the pieces after a few hours.
There are some places in the world where fossilized resin – amber – can be found in great quantities. Kämpinge in Sweden is one such place. Located by the sea, when storms begin in the Fall the locals make a beeline for the beech as amber is washed up in large quantities, so much so that it is referred to as the 'gold of the north' (though some amber can be blue!). Sometimes pieces weighing over one kilo can be found, although they are rare. The reason that it washes up is because it is a little heavier than water and so floats like soap near the sea bed. Eventually it comes up on the shore and – helped by the storms – the later months of the year are always the best to go amber hunting.
In ancient times up to the present it was believed that amber had healing properties and as such was often worn as a charm or a necklace or even carried in a small pouch. It was believed that the presence of amber would help to relieve such maladies as rheumatism and sore throats. Ironic then that it is in fact resin that has the medicinal properties and has long been used in herbal medicine. This insect is not quite getting those benefits, however.
So, there you have it – a short tour of the marvellous, mysterious substance that is resin. Although its actual purpose is for now shrouded in some mystery there is no denying its innate – if sometimes dangerous or even deadly – beauty.

It is the expectations I find difficult. It has been some years since I have had my family "home" for Christmas. And by family, I mean my husband and two daughters, no extras. I have been trumped by my ex-husband who, having remarried a younger woman, had a child and will soon have another. Everyone assumes that my daughters should spend Christmas with his family. My daughters think I should still put up a Christmas tree. My husband thinks we shouldn't bother. How many people need to be present before one puts up a tree, especially if the one responsible for hauling the tree in hates the process and two others will be 700 miles away? Can I hang ornaments from the chandeliers and decorate every flat surface to compensate? The last few years have felt ill-defined.
This year I announced we should fly to California to see his son and granddaughter, which we have never done before at Christmas and will make me feel useless and out of place. One child, not mine, plenty of rules, also not mine and no job to do.
This week I received an invitation from the pastor of my church (a place I haven't been in a couple years) to speak to a group of LGBTs. What I felt was something roughly analogous to what a Border Collie must feel when the gate is opened and he is whistled up to work. It's not so much the work ethic as the appreciation for direction.
We watched a tribute to Johnny Carson the other night, how he would fully engage an audience while leaning back, as though he was holding them at bay. I understand this. In my personal relationships I must fully engage so we can be fully ourselves. In front of an audience I must fully engage my topic so that I can stand apart. Middle grounds are awkward, family visits, social occasions, the approach after a talk, for example, when I may think I have closed the gate and am standing on one side "them" on the other and "they" think the gate is part way open, slide on through before I can whistle up the herding dogs to gather them back. And there I am, before I know, trying to sort out what role I'm playing professional or personal. If I were your mechanic would you ask me out for coffee? If I, as mother-in-law, were a plumber, would I find myself bringing a wrench on visits to fix your plumbing?

There are certain things that need to exist in a house, while there are also certain things that we do want to have in our house but, we are unable to have them due to various reasons such as restrictions by the government, unaffordable price, illegality and also due to reasons such as the safety of the people living in the house hold. However, the modern houses are comprised with many new fancy equipment. These help to improve the look of the house as well as adds class to the house.
Outdoor equipment's
It is always important to have your outdoor looking good and neat. This is because when one enters a house or a place the first thing they would notice is the outdoor. This would also plant an impression about the whole house. For example, if you have a lawn with over grown grasses which needs to be cut but ignored, and a pond with no water and fish, this would make the neighbours or visitors believe that the house owners are very ignorant and untidy. One should therefore necessarily have a lawn mower in their outdoor space. Lawn movers come in different designs and shapes with vivid sizes, therefore you are free to select anything you prefer according to the price you can afford. If you want your out door to be more creative, the most apt option would be to have an outdoor commercial BBQ equipment. Having an outdoor BBQ machine is useful in many ways.
To begin with, it is always easy to throw a night party outside and cook delicious steak or meat as you prefer. This way the indoor of the house will not be messy and untidy, as the crowd will be sticking outside in the garden. However, one must be smart enough to select an outdoor commercial BBQ machine built of stainless steel specially when it is the outdoor. This is to prevent it from rusting and the various weather conditions. Another classy outdoor equipment will be a hot bath tub. This is perfect specially if you are someone who lives in a country which experiences the cold or winter most of the year. Imagine having a hot tub bath with your kids, spouse or even with your friends. It is way better than going to an expensive spa for a hot bath where you would have to spend a hand full of your earnings.
Indoor equipment's
All Indoor equipment's are however very common in every household. Those are the essentials such as the washing machine, the dish washer, the carpet cleaner and so on. However, as a change, one who wishes to enrich the look of the house can add more modern equipment's such as a weight scale, and other gym equipment's to keep one self healthy.
Re- decorating or Re- creating your house with these new ideas would help you maintain a happy and friendly environment at home.

Queen Victoria in Queens Gardens
This imposing bronze statue of Queen Victoria, a replica by English sculptor Sir Thomas Brock of the original in Portsmouth, was erected in mid-1906. The purchase was arranged by local artist Godfrey Rivers, and was funded by public subscription and subsidies from state and local government. The pedestal was designed by the Public Works Department and crafted by local stonemason William Kitchen. The statue was an expression of Queensland's loyalty to the British Empire. The monument remains the only statue of Queen Victoria in Brisbane.
Located in Queens Garden, the statue is outside what is now the Conrad Hotel. The gardens were established in their current form in 1963, although since the erection of the monument they had been public gardens.
I must say that as you approach the monument up the diagonal pathways, you don't get a real sense of the grandeur of this sculpture. It is only when you stand underneath that I got the real sense of majesty for what Queen Victoria represented. I originally thought that it was "just another royal statue", however as I moved around the base I became more overawed. Although rather expressionless, the sculpture does exemplify the carriage of royalty.
Cheers, I Love Brisbane, Wes.

You'll have to excuse my absence here lately. I have been feeling behind on, well, everything. My need-to-do, want-to-do, and should-do lists get longer every day and I don't know where to start. I won't get into that because I don't want to bore you or make you think I complain about everything! :) Let's just say that someday I hope I'll feel caught up with everything in my life, and that my house will stay clean for longer than an hour at a time. I realize that having a 2 year old and 3.5 month old has a lot to do with that, so it will likely be awhile. Ha. Anyway!
I just wanted to share a few pictures from the past few weeks. These first ones I actually took the same day I did P's 3-month pics, so that tells you how long it's been since I shared any pics. Whoops!
My mom made these shirts after we found out that we were expecting a girl, so I had to get a pic of the two monkeys in them for here. I was pleasantly surprised that I got a good one with Levi smiling! Guess I clicked at the exact right moment for once!
After we took a few pics I wanted to upload them to my computer right away so I could email one to my mom, and when I looked back in the other room, I saw this:
I know this isn't the best picture, but I just love how Paige is looking at Levi. She could be fussy as all get out, and as soon as he comes into view she lights up. He is such a good big brother.
Little missy is growing out of her bouncer already. Not because she doesn't fit, but because she wants to sit up. Stinker doesn't want to just lay back and relax, so she pulls her self up like this:

The Augusta soccer team traveled to Ark City last week to compete in the Bulldog Invitational mid-season tournament. Augusta entered the tournament with a 1-1 record, and began by competing against the tournament newcomer, Coffeyville-Field Kindley. Coffeyville came out strong, as the size on their defensive unit stifled the Orioles, limiting their scoring chances. Coffeyville was able to take a commanding lead of 4-1 going in to half time, with Augusta's lone goal coming from Freshman Payton Ball, his first goal of his Oriole career. Coffeyville was able to tack on another goal in the second half to win the game 5-1.
"We just came out flat and on our heels and Coffeyville made us pay for that," said Orioles' head coach Dusty Buell.
"They were the better team and deserved that win, but I think our team has much more to offer than what we put on the field that game."
The Orioles were then matched up with a Mulvane team that was full of confidence coming off a 6-0 win over El Dorado. Augusta dominated the time of possession and the duo of sophomores in the middle of Anthony Orocio and Wyatt Pankratz controlled the game from the inside out.
"They were instrumental in finding those seams and distributing the ball where it needed to be," explained Buell.
Augusta freshman Payton Ball recorded a hat trick, scoring all three of the Orioles' goals in their 3-0 victory over Mulvane.
"I was proud of how this team responded, not only coming back from some adversity and tough loss, but also playing with injuries to a couple of key starters. The depth of this team is what really sets them apart," added Buell.
In the Orioles' final match of the tournament, they were faced with a matchup against the home team, with second place on the line.
Ark City came grabbed a commanding 2-0 lead in the first half before Payton Ball was fouled in the box and converted a penalty kick late in the first half.
The Orioles tied the game at with another goal from Ball, before conceding their lead to Ark City on a handball in the box that resulted in a Penalty Kick goal for the Bulldogs, bringing Ark City back on top 3-2. The Orioles proved their resolve late in the second half with a goal from another Oriole freshman. Dominick Rios tied the game with a nice left-footed finish from the top of the box.
The game remained tied 3-3 at the end of regulation, and neither team was able to find the back of the net after two overtimes. The Orioles and Bulldogs went to a thrilling penalty kick shootout to decide the game.
Jakob Bergkamp stepped up with the pressure on, and covered the game-winning penalty to ensure the Oriole's second-place finish.
"It was an emotional win for us. I am just proud of our guys, the way they handled being down and the way they fought to bring us back. Every one of our guys did something right to put us in a position to win. This is not a team of individuals, but rather a team that wants and needs one another," said Buell.
Augusta freshman Payton Ball finished the tournament with six goals in three games.
Augusta is now 3-2 on the season, and has already matched it's win total from the 2017 season.
The Orioles have a tough week ahead as they have a home contest with Buhler on Tuesday at Hillier Stadium and will head back to Ark City on Thursday.

WILLIE DUNCAN (@Willie_Duncan) is in the hot-seat for the early Saturday kick-off as Manchester United welcome Leicester to Old Trafford.
Manchester United v Leicester | Saturday 12.30 | Sky Sports 1
If anyone had suggest 12 months ago that Leicester might not be at their very best against Manchester United at Old Trafford because Claudio Ranieri's men could have one eye on their home debut in the Champions League, it is fair to suggest that the person in question would have been laughed at loud and heartily.
That, however, is the very conundrum facing punters ahead of this weekend's Premier League curtain-raiser on Saturday lunchtime – and Jose Mourinho's men may be the main beneficiaries should the Foxes find their minds wandering towards Tuesday's tussle with Porto at the King Power.
Despite United having suffered three defeats in their last four games – with the only win coming against Northampton in the EFL Cup – there are still fewer trips in English football that are more daunting than Old Trafford if you're not at your best.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic has scored four goals in five Premier League matches so far this season – and the veteran Swede was merely a Heurelho Gomes fingertip away from making it five goals in five top-flight fixtures earlier this summer after the Watford stopper denied him with a stunning save.
Ibrahimovic won't have enjoyed failing to find the net in that match and he won't have much enjoyed losing to Watford either and there is no doubt that Ibra will be as determined as anyone to get his name back on the scoresheet on Saturday afternoon.
Marcus Rashford, too, must be desperate to be fully unleashed in the Premier League for the teenage sensation, who has had his game time severely restricted at Old Trafford this season, has hit six goals in six games for club and country.
And surely it is only a matter of time before the Paul Pogba that Manchester United paid a world record transfer fee turns up and does something more spectacular than send a shot crashing against the crossbar, as he did at Vicarage Road last time out.
Wayne Rooney, too, will be desperate to prove his doubters wrong and, so, despite some recent poor results, there is no doubt that Mourinho's squad is packed with world class talent and that if Leicester are not at their best, they could receive another away-day thumping – as they did when they were lashed 4-1 by Liverpool at Anfield earlier this month.
The Premier League champions, however, will not go down without a fight, for they, too, have plenty of exciting attacking options to choose from.
Jamie Vardy has yet to hit the heights that he reached last season, but he always has the potential to grab a goal; the same can be said for Riyad Mahrez, while recent doubles from Islam Slimani and Shinji Okazaki have highlighted that Leicester's squad perhaps has more strength in depth than their detractors would give them credit for.
If the Foxes lack focus, United will almost certainly win well, but this match has plenty of potential for goals, given that Mourinho's men have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last four fixtures.
As such, it is the 5/6 (Boylesports) quote for both teams to get amongst the goals that is the recommended play for punters ahead of Saturday's showdown at Old Trafford.

Some time ago I wrote about musk and the fact that I had never knowingly come across real musk in perfumery. Now thanks to Anya of Anya's Garden I have and the experience is not what I expected at all.
Musk is a tremendous fixative and that explains its use in perfumery for centuries. Just how good a fixative is musk? The fragrance can last for decades if a fabric is saturated with a good musk tincture. On the skin even a small amount can make a formula persist far longer than you would think possible for a natural scent; though Anya pointed out when I emailed her with my question about musk that strong heart notes can also contribute to the longevity of a perfume.
True Siberian musk was in both of the samples she sent me and its presence changed my way of thinking about that over worked molecule. The issue of musk, the restricted nature of its trade (CITES treaty ratified 1975 and the voluntary nature of the participating nations) is a vexed one. I tend to be a non animal products person myself, but there is always more than one side to every story, and as Jean Claude Ellena points out in The Diary of a Nose, "… most products of animal origin traditionally used in their (perfume) composition are no longer utilized, in the name of morality rather than industry regulations, thus unwittingly depriving the African tribes who supplied them of revenue*, and consequently condemning them to abject poverty." Now that their trade is restricted or ended, the aroma chemicals substituted for these animalics do not have the same history of centuries on human skins nor the same long track record of safety.
Musk though, when real, does not behave in the way that I expected. Sarah McCartney of 4160 Tuesdays described musk as smelling like the donkeys who ferried children on rides during British Holidays. I had a different experience, but then she was smelling actual pods in the Osmotheque at Versailles.
The animal part of the fragrance was hard to detect, instead what I got was less fur than atmosphere, an abstract cloudy texture which made me understand why Jean Claude Ellena classes musk in with the soft scents rather than with the animalics.
The first of the two samples was Randolph Parry Cologne from 1859 a reconstruction that Anya did from a recipe found in the historic Parry Mansion in New Hope Pennsylvania. Like Florida Water, Aqua Mirabilis, or Hungary Water, this recipe is for a fresh citrus scent, although the gentle lingering dry off the Parry Cologne
had was due to a slight tinge of musk along with the lemon, bergamot, lavender, rose, cloves and cinnamon of the recipe. This was a cologne with a tingle then a silken trail.**
Musk really entered the picture though with Enticing the oriental perfume sample Anya also sent me. This starts dark and dry with a cool scent like roots, and uses the cepe note to recreate their subterranean grip. Enticing ascends though into a loamy patchouli with a sunny crumbling smell of good garden soil. This is the smell of healthy gardens, rich and so friable you know it could get just about anything to thrive.
Then Enticing grows a flower out of the earth and the flower is a tuberose, the heavy perfume of the white petals is filled out with butter and honey which gives the perfume a period of gourmand unctuousness, and you would think that musk at this point would be overkill, that it would sent Enticing wilting back downwards to the earthy scent of its start.
Wrong. This is the point about musk, real musk here does not smell animal, the musk smells ethereal, almost blue. Really. A Blue Heaven of musk which lasts for hours on me and which is or seems to be the natural partner of flowers. Who knew?
Evidently Anya did and this perfume is the sort of rich full fragrance that lovers of vintage woody orientals with slightly foody spins will adore. If you like Roma with its vanilla heart, or Obsession with the amber/vanilla twist, or Magie Noire with raspberries over a big oriental rose and patchouli, you may love this earthy, sexy, slightly edible perfume with the musk send off. I would not have thought that this would be a winner with me- but it sure was.
* M. Ellena was probably referring here to the African Civet cat and its scent gland production of civet.
**Randolph Parry Cologne was only produced up to a gallon, but is similar to Florida Water.

Cheese and mushroom casserole with chicken
This casserole is simple and delicious, and makes a perfect snack during a picnic (bento anyone?)—you should use it as a basic idea for a casserole, since the pasta sauce is the stable and the most important piece of the meal. It's also a very tweak-able recipe! :-)
Perfectly juicy chicken
With all the sugar I'm processing lately, I need to take some precautions to keep my diet balanced. This recipes is the bomb not only for people on the diet, but also for anybody else, who loves the aromatic, juicy aroma of a chicken breast. All of that awesomeness without any extra oil or fat, which makes this recipe gold! :-) ---|
It's also a great cooking technique for almost any meat or vegetable that tastes better when cooked with own juices, keeping the moisture, aroma, and all vitamins inside. It's easy to use, makes great-tasting meal, what's not to love?!
When you make your own pasta, you will always end up with some scraps, even more if you make ravioli. You can easily recycle this leftover pasta to make maltagliati, meaning "poorly cut" in Italian, which was traditionally meant as food for the poor. We are way past that, and today you can enjoy rich texture and amazing flavor of your pasta without the social stigma ;-)
Honey meat ravioli
This delicious meal is amazingly easy to prepare, as long as you have a pasta machine and ravioli tablet — it's a small grid in which you can prepare ravioli "like a sandwich", then roll out the ready ravioli using a rolling pin. Super easy, and with just very little effort you will end up having a luxurious feast!
Colorful chicken with purple potatoes
This recipe is not for the faint-hearted — it requires some frying skills, but makes a really tasty, delicious meal with a massive wow-factor without any extra hassle :-) I actually got the idea for this, when my local grocery store offered special 1kg packages of Vitelotte, a.k.a. purple potatoes. I wanted to make something tasty, but also colourful and festive, thus this crazy, colourful and festive meal was born! ---|
On good thing about these potatoes is, they seem to lower blood pressure and have inflammatory components, which might be a good thing for a winter meal :-)

Police have released e-fits of two men wanted in connection with a robbery at a home in Bexhill, where the victim was struck with a lump of wood and left needing hospital treatment.
The victim, who is in his 20s, opened the door of his home in Wartling Drive to three hooded men shortly before 10pm last Wednesday (February, 7).
He was then struck on the head as the men forced their way inside, and was further assaulted when they demanded money.
They then left with around £1,000 in cash, leaving the victim with a cut which needed hospital treatment.
Police said no-one was injured, while it is believed the men made off in a vehicle which may have been waiting outside with a fourth person.
Officers now want to speak to the men in the e-fits.
The first has been described as white, in his late 40s, around 6′ tall, and was wearing a black waterproof-type zipped jacket with a hood pulled tightly around his face, as well as black jogging bottoms.
The second has been described as white, in his 30s, with brown hair, clean shaven, and was wearing dark blue jogging bottoms or jeans.
Anyone with information is asked to report it online here, or call 101 quoting reference number 1229 of 07/02.
Alternatively, contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Correction of hyperopia with astigmatism following radial keratotomy with daily disposable plus spherical contact lens: a case report
- 787 Downloads
To report the refractive correction in a case of hyperopia and astigmatism following radial keratotomy.
A case report.
A 47-year-old woman, who had undergone refractive surgery for radial keratotomy in both eyes 22 years before the present study, presented to our clinic with blurred vision. Her best corrected visual acuity, with spectacle correction of +3.50 DS/−1.50 DCX130° in the right eye and +3.75 DS/−1.50 DCX80° in the left eye, was 0.2 logMAR and 0.3 logMAR, respectively. Her keratometric readings were 35.75 D/36.75 D at 74° and 35.25 D/36.25 D at 61°, respectively. Prompted by intolerance to glasses, the patient requested for contact lenses. First, we applied a rigid, gas-permeable contact lens. However, we noted poor fitting due to central corneal flattening. Subsequently, we applied a conventional plus spherical soft contact lens (PSSCL), which is thick in the center and can therefore correct hyperopia and low-grade astigmatism simultaneously. The conventional PSSCL showed slightly inferior decentration, with good movement, and the patient was satisfied with it. After ascertaining the patient's living habits, we decided that a daily disposable soft contact lens would most meet her needs. The final prescription was a daily disposable PSSCL; the patient was satisfied with her corrected visual acuity of 0.0 logMAR in the right eye and 0.0 logMAR in left eye. Her daily disposable PSSCL-corrected visual acuity was stable during the 10-month follow-up.
For patients displaying hyperopia with astigmatism following radial keratotomy, the PSSCL may confer better corrected visual acuity and acceptability.
KeywordsRadial keratotomy Hyperopia Astigmatism
Radial keratotomy (RK) is performed using radial incisions in the corneal stroma, producing a wound that is associated with midperipheral bulging of the cornea, compensatory central corneal flattening, and decreased refractive power. For this reason, progressive hyperopia after RK is not uncommon [1, 2]. In fact, in the Prospective Evaluation of Radial Keratotomy (PERK) study, hyperopic shift after RK continued in many patients at an average rate of +0.21 diopters (D) per year for the first 6 months to 2 years after the surgery, and at +0.06 D per year between the second and tenth years after surgery [3, 4]. Therefore, patients who have undergone RK may present with hyperopia many years after the procedure; in such patients, this condition may be related to the corneal incisions, lens aging (including cataract formation), or both [5]. With regard to ocular surgical treatment for RK patients presenting with hyperopia, laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) and surface ablation have been effective [6, 7]. In terms of non-surgical correction methods, contact lenses, including rigid gas-permeable contact lenses (RGPCLs), orthokeratology-designed RGPCLs (OD-RGPCLs), hybrid lenses, and soft contact lenses (SCLs) [8, 9], may improve vision. In the present report, we present a case of hyperopia with astigmatism in a woman who had undergone RK 22 years previously; her vision was well refractive corrected using a plus spherical SCL (PSSCL).
Case report
A 47-year-old woman visited our outpatient clinic complaining of progressive blurred vision in both eyes. In 1994, she had undergone refractive surgery for RK in both eyes at the age of 25 years, and her preoperative refractive error values were −6.5 D in the right eye and −8.5 D in the left eye. Her uncorrected visual acuity was 0.4 logMAR in both eyes, and her autorefraction (Topcon RM6000, Japan) was +3.75 DS/−1.50 DCX129° in the right eye and +4.00 DS/−1.25 DCX82° in the left eye. Her best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) with spectacle correction of +3.50 DS/−1.50 DCX130° in the right eye and +3.25 DS/−1.00 DCX80° in the left eye was 0.2 logMAR in the right eye and 0.3 logMAR in the left eye. Her keratometric readings were 35.75 D/36.75 D at 74° in the right eye and 35.25 D/36.25 D at 61° in the left eye.
Prompted by an intolerance of glasses, the patient asked for treatment using contact lenses. At first, we applied an RGPCL. However, we noted marked decentration and poor fitting due to central corneal flattening, because the lens did not have a sufficiently flat base curve. Next, we applied a conventional PSSCL, which is thick in the center and can therefore correct hyperopia and low-grade astigmatism simultaneously. The conventional PSSCL showed slightly inferior decentration, with good movement, and the patient was satisfied with her corrected visual acuity. Subsequently, after ascertaining the patient's living habits, we decided that a daily disposable contact lens would most meet her needs. The final prescription was a Johnson & Johnson® daily disposable PSSCL (+3.50 D/base curve, 8.5 mm/diameter 14.2 mm in the right eye; +3.75 D/base curve 8.5 mm/diameter 14.2 mm in the left eye). The patient was satisfied with her corrected visual acuity of 0.0 logMAR in the right eye and 0.0 logMAR in the left eye. The daily disposable PSSCL-corrected visual acuity was stable during the 10-month follow-up period.
RK is a refractive surgical method for correcting myopia. The procedure involves radial incisions in the paracentral to peripheral cornea; these induce central corneal flattening and reduce myopia. The complications of RK range from the seriously sight-threatening to less severe problems, including corneal perforations, accidental incisions across the visual axis, a decentered clear zone, limbal incisions, visual fluctuations, corneal edema [10], glare [10, 11], and falsely low IOP values [12]. RK may also confer a greater chance of iatrogenic keratoconus, although this speculation remains a matter of debate [13, 14]. Conversely, one case report suggested that corneal stability following RK may protect against keratoconus [13]. The long-term, unintended refractive outcomes of RK noted in the literature include BCVA reduction, irregular astigmatism, over-correction, under-correction, and hyperopic shift [10, 15]. The possible causes of this progressive hyperopic shift are low corneal rigidity and elevated intraocular pressure [16].
Contact lenses, including RGPCLs, SCLs, OD-RGPCLs, and hybrid lenses, may provide a strategy for refractive correction of hyperopia and astigmatism following RK. For instance, Simunovic [8] reported the case of a woman who had previously undergone RK and whose hyperopia was successfully treated using an OD-RGPCL. Traditionally, orthokeratology uses specially designed, reverse-geometry contact lenses that are worn overnight [17, 18, 19]. However, in the study described, the patient wore the OD-RGPCL during the daytime. The OD-RGPCL has a central zone that is relatively flat compared with the periphery, and it is therefore suitable to the shape of the post-RK cornea. Similarly, Forister [3] reported the case of a hyperopic patient who had undergone 20-cut and 24-cut RK and who had benefited from an OD-RGPCL for about 1 year after the procedure. However, the lens seemed to be ineffective in the long term. Hybrid lenses have also been reported to confer good results in cases of post-RK hyperopia [8, 9]. For example, Alio et al. [20] reported using hybrid lenses in patients with astigmatism following refractive surgery. However, both OD-RGPCL and hybrid lenses have drawbacks in that they are more expensive and have limited product specifications.
In the present study, after trying RGPCL, we applied a conventional PSSCL, which is thick in the center and which can therefore correct hyperopia and low-grade astigmatism simultaneously. The conventional PSSCL showed slightly inferior decentration, with good movement, and the patient was satisfied with her corrected visual acuity.
The present case suggests that PSSCLs are ideal for refractive correction of hyperopia with astigmatism following RK, because they have a thick center that may better correct both astigmatism and hyperopia. Furthermore, PSSCLs with a thick center can correct the flat central cornea caused by RK; for this reason, they may possess better centration and stability, as well as confer a more stable tear lens.
PSSCLs are easy to apply and are relatively affordable. After ascertaining the living habits of our patient, we decided that a daily disposable SCL might most meet her needs. Ultimately, we prescribed a daily disposable PSSCL, which has all the advantages of the conventional PSSCL and avoids the need for disposable plus toric SCLs, which are unavailable in Taiwan. Our patient showed acceptable fitting and reached a satisfactory corrected visual acuity.
This case study followed the Declaration of Helsinki on medical protocol.
Patients diagnosed as having hyperopia with astigmatism following RK may benefit from the PSSCL, as the lens confers better corrected visual acuity and acceptability.
We would like to acknowledge Wei-Yu Chiang for his helpful suggestions in the treatment plan and Ching-Hsi Hsiao for providing this case.

I was inspired by this months challenge at Scrap Around The World to create a layout about my youngest Grandson, Noah. I have used the Rainbow colour scheme (which kind of got lost in the layers), the title "look up", the word "rainbow" in my journaling and the nature theme from the mood board. I have also used this months Sketch, as I feel that if the ladies at Scrap Around The World are committed enough to provide it then I should use it.
My journaling reads: "As you grasp your Dads hand, I know that you will reach out and grasp life and chase rainbows - Go forth and Live Laugh and may God go with you."
And this is the Mood Board and the Sketch for the Challenge:

"Whatever you budgeted, double it. It's like building a house from scratch; you start off thinking it's going to take you six months and cost half a million, and then you find it takes you twelve months and costs a million."
This was the analogy provided by Matthew Hudson, chief executive officer of asset management consultancy MJ Hudson, on his company's setting up an office in Luxembourg so that it could continue to access the EU fund management passport, and distribute funds across the EU, post-Brexit.
The second in this series of case studies examining compliance headaches for companies caused by Britain's decision to exit the European Union looks at the example of a financial services company, not a behemoth like JPMorgan or HSBC, but a small firm of 125 professionals providing law, fund management, international fiduciary, investment advisory, and investor relations and marketing services from offices across Europe, including Jersey and Guernsey.

Neil Diamond 2001-2002 Concert Reviews
San Jose, CA December 9, 2001
Published Tuesday, Dec. 11, 2001, in the San Jose Mercury News
With ageless appeal, star shines like -- well, like Neil Diamond
Contra Costa Times
The man in a black leather jacket simply couldn't help himself any longer.
``Neeilllll,'' he screamed, letting loose an expletive-filled torrent describing Neil Diamond's ability to rock. He drew stares from three older women standing next to him at the sold-out Compaq Center at San Jose on Sunday night. After they recovered, they giggled in agreement.
Diamond can do that to a grandma and to a guy in his 20s. Diamond was everything he was supposed to be Sunday -- clad in a glittery purple shirt and delivering his classics as dramatically as possible.
Despite the Vegaslike pomp that has inspired jokes about Diamond the past decade (or two), there's no denying that the 60-year-old connects with his fans or that he's written truckloads of great songs.
Perhaps predictably, Diamond opened his two-hour spectacular by dropping an airplane hangar-sized U.S. flag covering the stage, opening with ``America.'' He brought along a 17-member band, over whom more flags unfurled at song's end. That's when Diamond struck the first of several pointing-toward-the-heavens moves that ended his remake of ``The Jazz Singer'' two decades ago.
What followed was a cavalcade of greatest hits plus a few songs from ``Three Chord Opera,'' his first album of all-new material in more than 25 years. Diamond had a permanent sway on all night -- when he wasn't strolling the stage edge, soaking up the adulation of all the women.
Yes, Diamond still gets the chicks. After plowing through ``Solitary Man,'' ``Cherry, Cherry'' (which was when the guy in the leather jacket finally snapped and started his gleeful cursing), ``Red Red Wine,'' and ``I'm a Believer,'' Diamond started in with the women up front.
While introducing ``Play Me,'' Diamond mentioned he sometimes gets weepy on stage. One woman rushed the stage and offered him something to dry his eyes. After a theatrical toweling off, Diamond lent her the microphone, and she asked if he wanted her phone number. A similar scene played out at the end of ``Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon.'' Diamond leaned down and let a woman pet his face, then finished her off with a lip-lock. ``My goodness, I think she's ready,'' he said.
His strong baritone was in fine working order all night -- all he's lost over the years is some hair. Most of his new songs -- ``You're the Best Part of Me,'' ``I Believe in Happy Endings'' and ``I Haven't Played This Song in Years'' -- worked. The only clunker all night was another new one, ``At the Movies,'' which sounded like a cheap commercial.
But Diamond responded by hammering at the old catalog -- ``Forever in Blue Jeans,'' ``Captain Sunshine'' and a drawn-out ``Sweet Caroline.'' He did a theatrical ``You Don't Bring Me Flowers,'' ``Shilo,'' ``He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother'' and a very serious ``I Am -- I Said.'' Just when he was in danger of getting a bit heavy himself, he ended the show with ``Cracklin' Rosie'' and a gospel-charged ``Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show,'' before the American flag dropped again.
It's pointless to watch Diamond and worry about trends and how he fits into the modern music world. He's become a music world unto himself, and it would be disappointing if he weren't wearing the sparkling shirt, gesturing to the crowd and making the women (and well-groomed guys in leather jackets) swoon.

To inform entertain and excite my kids, Jamie, Patrick, Aaron & Sarah Middleburgh, our family and friends.about me
powered by BLOGGER
Nothing sexist about this .....
There a was woman from Middleburg Heights
Who was for ever getting into fist fights
She had punched out four men
And was on track for making it ten
When a passing policeman stopped and read her, her rights
I have absolutely no idea where that came from but it does make the post title relevant and it is a bit "fun"..... and why not.
Life is so serious these days what with Putin's boys taking down Malaysian planes all in the cause of his vision of "Ein Volk ein Reich ein Führer" and the Israelis killing children whilst blaming it on Hamas.
It could be argued that there are similarities between Gaza today and Warsaw in April 1943 when Jews resisted attempt by the Nazi's to liquidate the Ghetto. What do you expect if your turn Gaza into to a Ghetto and oppress population economically and militarily. It is particularly depressing that Government of Israel chooses not to take any responsibility for killing of the children and puts blame wholly on Hamas. There is no question that Hamas is a terrorist organisation which should be taken out like the cancer it is and of course Israel has the duty to protect it's citizens from the terror rockets and infiltration through tunnels. But do they have to kill children ? The reality is that it is Israelis who are pulling triggers which kill these kids and it matters not one jot that they don't mean to kill them. It does not even matter if the children had been involved in digging the tunnels. It's not as if Hammas fighters are standing at the Israeli soldiers shoulders directing their fire and forcing them to shoot. They have a choice and they seem to have forgotten their obligations set out in the Nuremberg Principles (especially Principle IV) Regrettably the state appears to have quit the moral high ground (and indeed may have ceded that years ago). The only redeeming factor in this shameful situation are the people posting to the IsraelLovesPalestine Facebook site
I am glad I got that of my chest and FYI ... I am jewish!!|

If you or your spouse live in another state or country, family law matters can become extremely complex. Different states have different residency requirements. Our attorneys are up to date and can advise you as to the ramifications of filing divorce complaints and/or custody issues with a party living out of state. Our attorneys are also skilled at cases where a parent wishes to move out of state with the children for relocation purposes.
International cases can be even more complex. Although many countries are members of the Hague Convention, which simplifies child custody issues, many other countries are not. Our attorneys can advise you of all your rights regarding divorce and custody in international issues
Likewise, there are specific issues regarding divorcing a member of the military, especially during wartime. Our staff of professional family law attorneys has been working with military divorces since the gulf war. Further, our close proximity to Picatinny Arsenal has given this firm a strong background in divorce in the military.
Contact an attorney at Iandoli & Edens, LLC, if your case is specific to any of the above issues.

One thing I'm learning to do here is balance stress and a never-ending to-do list with fun, leisure, and relaxation. Theoretically, one would think it should be easy to relax here. It's easily the most beautiful place I've ever lived, and the Spanish culture itself is very much relaxed. Stress in Spain is nothing like stress in the US. When Spaniards experience stress, they do what they can do about it and then sit back with a glass of wine, free of worry. They accept the situation for what it is and move on. I'm doing my best to do the same. I often have days that I'm on my laptop all freakin' day, except for the break I take to go running. I'm on it as soon as I wake up, at all meal times, and before I go to sleep. When I can't sleep, I check my email. (WTF, self?) This is not the lifestyle I want for myself, and I'm taking steps to eliminate all this screen and work time. I need to learn to just enjoy without perfecting every little detail.
At the moment I'm supposed to be balancing part time freelance work with part time studying, creating a full-time schedule for myself. The problem is that I spend a little too much time on freelancing, which results in allotted study time being taken away from the LSAT. Which results in me taking hours out of my "leisure" time to study. Which results in me actually working on my computer well over full-time hours. In addition to the freelancing and LSAT studies, I'm taking Spanish class, training for a triathlon, running this blog, and just trying to be a human being that has fun. I actually do all that extra stuff because it is fun for me. I love it all very much, which is why I dedicate time outside of my "real" work to do all of the above.
That's the reason multitasking is a curse and a blessing. I can do it, so I absolutely will. But it's just not healthy. I don't pause for meal times because, why would I when there's work to be done? That's the American mindset that I'm trying to break out of. I wrote a little bit about that in my post last week for Salty Running, An American Runner in Paris.
The next month for me is admittedly going to be hellish in my attempts to prepare for December. First on the calendar is the LSAT in Italy. The following weekend I'm running a triathlon in Malaga. Then I will be going back to France with my boyfriend for Christmas (eek, first Christmas away from home! Which you can be certain will be well-documented here). I'm jokingly referring to November as No Chill November because of my back-to-back preparation for my December events. I'm handling these tasks day by day, with a heavy schedule. It may sound daunting, but I'm making sure that time is set aside for fun, cultural events! Such as Halloween tonight, and the city's Diwali celebration tomorrow. I'm also making sure that I'm not too hard on myself when I can't follow the schedule strictly. It's simply here to help me keep my tasks in line, not to rule my life.
In addition, this blog helps me address my stress. For me writing is as simple as thinking, and I look forward to coming here to share. I'll keep you posted, but for now, let's try to keep a little chill in our November, eh?
