Time management is an important part of our lives, regardless of what we're doing. In fact, managing time properly can help you get more work done and feel more accomplished about the things you do in general. If you don't know how to begin or you just feel overwhelmed, keep reading for some fun and insightful tips below.
Schedule any important events or appointments. Try to create a time limit for those events. Once you have a schedule written out for the day, do your best to stick to it. If one thing goes overtime, find a place that you could reduce the allowed time. This will help you get through your day without going over your time constraints.
If you're always pressed for time, start trying to be early for everything. If you aim to be on time, even a little traffic can mess up your entire schedule by making you late. However, when you do your best to be early, you are often left with a little extra time, which you can then put to good use!
Take some time to schedule some time for your interruptions. You need to be able to plan some time that you can be taken away from from the tasks you're working on. For instance, maintaining concepts similar to "office hours." Office hours can be thought of as planned interruptions.
Create a to-do list every morning before you begin your work. Sometimes time is eaten up in the day simply because you don't have a plan. Even a light sketch of a plan, like a simple to-do list is enough to save you precious minutes, even hours, during the day.
Make sure that your daily tasks are compartmentalized. You might quickly discover how much of your day is filled with that which is not truly urgent or even important. Prioritizing tasks can help you manage your time and spend it doing the things that are important. Create a to-do list and then start with the most important tasks.
Say no. Many people get too stressed because they can't say no to requests. Make sure to keep your eyes on your schedule before saying yes to a new project. If you find that there's too much there already, it's time to think things through and perhaps look for assistance. Could you hand over some of your tasks to another person? Ask your family and friends for help.
Do not rush through your day. If you rush through things and make mistakes, it is going to take you far longer to fix those mistakes than it would have for you to do it right the first time. Slow and careful work will be more productive than rushed, sloppy work.
To perfect your personal system of time management, take a moment to catalog the most common time-wasting activities you engage in. Whether you prefer to check your e-mail, surf the web, or hang out in the break room, you should identify the behaviors you practice when you're dodging work. In the future, when you notice yourself initiating these time-wasting processes, stop and remind yourself that you have important work to do!
Keep a journal of your days for a week or two. Include everything that you are doing during the day. Once you have compiled a list of all of your activities, you will be able to find where you are wasting time. This way, you can eliminate any unnecessary activities in the day.
When your time management techniques are thrown off by a task that seems impossible to complete, step back and assess the problem. Are you avoiding the job because it's difficult, or are you lacking some piece of information or expertise essential to the job? If you're being held back by a lack of knowledge, make it a priority to seek out the missing information you require.
Learning to prioritize is an important skill. You need to be able to get the most important things done first. Some things absolutely have to be done by a certain time and some things can be done any time. So focus on the most critical tasks first and then worry about the little things.
Have a sit-down with yourself daily. The first half hour of your day is about strategy. You should build a list of priorities that balances your day. Do not overwhelm the list with more than your day can handle. If it is not a priority for today, consider it for tomorrow's list and focus on higher priorities.
Managing a home, family and career can be very demanding. It is essential that you create a realistic plan that will help you organize your time and your energy effectively. If your children are old enough, assign age-appropriate household duties to them, and realize you are helping them learn to manage their time also.
As you begin to set up your daily schedule, place the important items at the top of the list. This is an excellent way to set up your day. Think about what's most important and doing what you can to finish them. List them at the very top. You can then work from the most important to those items that are not as crucial.
Make your lunch the night before. If you go to work every day and think you "don't have time" to figure out your lunch in the morning, do it the night before. That way, you can create your lunch without rushing. Not only that, but that simple step will stop you from spending so much money eating out.
Decline any tasks that are really nonessential. Take care of those things that are urgent or important. Most of your time will be spent on matters that are both urgent and important. Anything that falls outside of these two categories does not deserve much of your time if you want to get things done.
Hopefully, this article has helped you understand a little bit more about time management. If you don't know how to manage your time properly, you could be selling yourself short and not accomplishing enough. Use the great tips from this article to help you turn your life around and accomplish everything you can!

An investigation on behalf of investors of Micronetics Inc. (NASDAQ:NOIZ) in connection with the takeover was announced and NASDAQ:NOIZ stockholders should contact the Shareholders Foundation.
San Diego, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/13/2012 -- An investigation on behalf of investors in NASDAQ:NOIZ shares was announced concerning whether the offer to acquire Micronetics Inc. at $14.80 per share and the takeover process are unfair to investors in NASDAQ:NOIZ shares.
Investors who purchased shares of Micronetics Inc. (NASDAQ:NOIZ) prior to June 10, 2012, and currently hold any of those Micronetics Inc. (NASDAQ:NOIZ shares have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation at mail(at)shareholdersfoundation.com or call +1(858) 779 - 1554.
The investigation by a law firm concerns whether certain officers and directors of Micronetics Inc. (NASDAQ:NOIZ breached their fiduciary duties owed to Micronetics Inc. (NASDAQ:NOIZ investors in connection with the proposed acquisition.
On June 10, 2012, Micronetics, Inc. (NASDAQ: NOIZ) announced that it has signed a merger agreement with Mercury Computer Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: MRCY) and a new Mercury subsidiary under which Mercury Computer Systems, Inc will acquire Micronetics for $14.80 per common share in cash.
However, Micronetics has performed well for its investors. Its Total Revenue increased from $30.35million for the 12months period ending on March 31, 2009 to $45.97million for the 12months period ending on March 31, 2012 and its Net Loss of $9.56million for the 12months period ending on March 31, 2009 turned into a Net Income of $3.41million for the 12months period ending on March 31, 2012.
Therefore the investigation for NASDAQ:NOIZ investors concerns whether the proposed transaction is unfair to Micronetics Inc.. stockholders.
Specifically, given that certain shareholders of Micronetics holding shares representing approximately 20.0% of the shares outstanding have already entered into agreements with Mercury under which they have agreed to vote their shares in favor of the proposed merger, the investigation focuses on whether the Micronetics Inc. (NASDAQ:NOIZ Board of Directors undertook an adequate sales process, adequately shopped the company before entering into the transaction, maximized shareholder value by negotiating the best price, and acted in the shareholders' best interests in connection with the proposed sale.
Those who are current investors in Micronetics Inc. (NASDAQ:NOIZ) and purchased their Micronetics Inc. shares prior to the announcement, have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation.

High Notes, Vol 19 No 14, May 18 2018
From the Principal
High Talent
It was a pleasing sight and a boost for our boys when High's 1st and 2nd XV outlasted St Pius X in two see-sawing games of rugby at McKay last Saturday. The blustery conditions and intermittent rain did not dampen the enthusiasm of our lads. I do not often have the privilege of seeing a 1st on 1st rugby game in which High runs out victorious. Congratulations, boys! Well done to Sebastian Diaz (12M) who was selected in the NSWCIS basketball team.
Donor Generosity
I would like to acknowledge and thank Jane Petersen of the White Rabbit Gallery for her generous donation of 60 beautiful art books (White Rabbit catalogues "Big Bang") to the school. The books will be used for class research and as awards for students in Visual Arts. Supporting the Arts is becoming increasingly important in a technology-driven world. We are most grateful.
Winter Sport Co-payments
Invoices for participation in winter sports have been mailed. We again ask your support by paying them promptly All winter sports depend on a timely settling of invoiced co-payments to pay coaches. Parents are reminded that all programs have to meet their budgetary obligations and cannot do so without maximum support from everyone. Our sports are delivered at a fraction of their actual cost, being subsidised by parking revenues and ASF donations, along with the structural support and supervision provided by the school with assistance from the co-curricular support levy. Please attend to your son's winter sports co-payment now.
Interpreting Year 12 Reports
All Year 12 boys should have their reports. For the first time during their high school life, the boys have an ATAR calculation based on their best ten units. However, not all parts of the course have been examined at this time. The full examination doesn't happen until the Trial HSC in August. For example, English extension 1 only examines creative writing for this report. A limited number of topics have been completed in other courses, too. Despite these limitations, the May report is extremely important as a yard stick for possible HSC performance. Every year I would love to be proved wrong. Every year I would be glad to applaud students who do much better than the ATAR prediction from April. Inevitably, if nothing changes in the students, the predictions will be accurate. The first report in Year 12 is often a wakeup call for boys who have been coasting. The school also provides targeted coaching for students with weaknesses in the period up until the Trial. Students start to listen when we talk to them about study routines, life balance and focus. I hope parents will support us once again this year by impressing upon their sons how important it is from now on to get organised and work hard.
NAPLAN Tests
This week the NAPLAN tests were conducted in the traditional way. The trial of online delivery last year included our students. We found it to be clunky and quite a few students couldn't log on. The idea was that the test would be personalised so that you could work your way through the levels to the most challenging test items. Not enough states were equipped to handle such a change. The roll-out of a nationwide online testing regime was canned. This year the value of the tests is under sharp attack from several directions, including Education Ministers. The future of NAPLAN is unclear. This year's tests ran smoothly.
IDAHAT Assembly
My speech to the assembly is reprinted below.
"Special Guest, Nelson Tang (SHS-2015), staff, students, I welcome you to our third annual assembly to acknowledge and understand the issues surrounding discrimination against people who are have diverse sexual identities and orientations. Yesterday, May 17, was the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Intersexism and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT). Way back in 1990, on May 17, the World Health Organisation removed the classification of homosexuality as a mental disorder. The International Day against homophobia was established in 2004 to draw attention to the violence and discrimination suffered by LGBTIQ communities. This year 130 countries will celebrate this day.
"The purpose of the day is to raise awareness of the issue of discrimination in our society. At High, we choose to hold a special assembly to mark this occasion because we believe in acknowledging and valuing diversity in all its forms. We espouse fundamental values about providing opportunity for everyone to achieve personal bests and to strive towards excellence. We need to operationalise our aspirations by standing up for diversity and against discrimination. We believe everyone has a right to be themselves. We need to act in defence of individuality and not be bystanders when witnessing bullying or harassment. Call it out for what it is and ask the perpetrator to stop.
"Today we recognise that society is diverse in respect of sexuality, which manifests itself in discernible forms. Hence, categories of individuals have been acknowledged as being different – lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex and queer – LGBTIQ. We need to accept that these differences are real and need to be respected.
"Regrettably, in closed societies like villages, neighbourhoods and schools, social norms are established which fail to accommodate differences. Discrimination and violence can be allowed to grow when organisations are not governed ethically and morally. Outsiders and those who look or act outside the group norms are discriminated against or rejected. Humans seem to have evolved as fiercely territorial and tribal. Teasing and bullying are exercised by those who exploit differences from the norm. We all need to be reminded of our better selves. High has an active Equality Committee, acting as our collective social conscience. Its members promote a culture of respectful relationships among our boys. They are points of contact and potential advocate for those among us who feel that they are not able to express themselves as individuals in our micro society. In our school, it is unacceptable to engage in any discriminatory discourse or action.
"We need to look at the bigger picture of discrimination and verbal or cyber vilification. Our school, as well as our society, needs to balance each person's individual right to freedom of speech against the right of every student, staff member or visitor, to be free from discrimination, harassment and harm. It is actually unlawful to ridicule a person severely because of their race, religion, sexuality or gender identity, by a public act. Such an act is not just in class or in the playground but we extend it to social media and online behaviour.
"The LGBTIQ community holds the front line in the battle against discrimination. It behoves
us all to recognise and support their quest. If they succeed, the knock on effect will be a
more compassionate, just and cohesive society. Our school is privileged and we like to
think we are leading the way in promoting acceptance of diversity. Let us look to improving
our sensitivity to diversity as we find it and being respectful of each other's rights to live
without stress, harassment or vilification."

To accelerate the development of the brand in new andexisting markets, Olayan has signed an agreement with a strategic partner,the Kuwaiti Al-Shaya group, through the formation of a joint venture.

Olayan has held agreements with Burger King since 1991. Through its Hana subsidiary, it operates or services more than 180 Burger King restaurants in the Middle East – including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Jordan, Bahrain, Qatar and Lebanon – and is considered the largest franchisee in the region.
Founded in 1947, the Olayan Group is a private, multinational enterprise made up of more than 50 companies and affiliated businesses. In Saudi Arabia, where the group originated, Olayan engages in product distribution, manufacturing, services and investment.
Al-Shaya is a franchisee for over 40 retail brands including Starbucks Coffee, The Body Shop and Foot Locker. The company operates more than 1,200 stores across eight Middle East countries, as well as Cyprus, Turkey, Egypt, Russia and Poland.
Burger King already operates in more than 65 countries and U.S. territories, and predicts opening more than 400 restaurants worldwide this year. About 90 percent of its restaurants are owned and operated by independent franchisees, many of them family-owned operations that have been in business for decades.

If you want to know what 'Subway Time' means in Japanese, here you go:
- Reading books,
- Text messaging,
- Sleeping,
- Or, listening to Music !
Sleeping in train is so normal for Japanese, and they have their very unique ways of doing it. For me sleeping in train with all the unexpected moves and shakes is almost impossible !
This is a typical scene in a Tokyo subway train:
Useful time for Japanese…
Text messaging is also very a popular way of spending time while in subway.
But many times they just fall sleep easily ! In this unique picture, 5 people are sleeping.
Doesn't really matter if they are sitting or standing, since they sleep anyway!
This random guy was standing and sleeping, and all the time I was wondering. I had my camera ready to capture the moment when he looses his balance, never happened !
Music, is a major part of Japanese life style. As you see, sleeping doesn't keep them from enjoying their subway ride with their music collection.
Comparing it with other countries and cultures, spending time for looking around and checking out other people is pretty much most people do. Japanese use their time very efficiently; I like that.

Every mesothelioma case that comes into workplace is exclusive. The circumstances, like amphibole exposure, work history, parties accountable and alternative factors vary in every case. Initially, area unitgoing to perform a case analysis to see if there are any non-bankrupt amphibole defendants that would probably be responsible for the victim's injuries. If it's determined that there square measure viable defendants, immediate steps are going to be taken to initiate a case so as to secure a timely trial date. This trial date will happen at intervals just about one year from the date that the retainer is signed. mesothelioma cases square measure given advantageous treatment for trial.
Taking a settlement presents variety of advantages to mesothelioma patients. Aiming to trial will take heaps of your time. Agreeing to a settlement side steps the necessity to travel through the protracted method of an effort. By avoiding an effort, patients will get compensation a lot of quickly and begin recuperating treatment sooner. Settlements square measure helpful to each parties as a result of jurors usually award extra money to the victim than that is awarded during a settlement, the suspect (the company) usually offers to settle the case out of court. The corporate can build a proposal they assume the complainant can settle for. Only a few cases truly attend trial. Settlements square measure the norm in most asbestos-related cases.
Benefits of Settlements
- More expedite. Settlements enable the mesothelioma victim to receive compensation quicker. Settlements will usually be reached terribly quickly, whereas mesothelioma trials will continue for over run a year.
- Settlements provide clear results of the case. If the case goes to trial, no party is positive of what the result are going to be, like large damages being awarded or the case being thrown out.
- Fewer Defendants and lawyers tend to like settlements as a result of they're cheaper and fewer long than trials.
- It is forever best to settle as a result of then you'll recognize specifically what you're obtaining. This is not aiming to be as simple after you square measure with a choose.
- You will be able to concentrate on your treatment after you build a settlement. You'll not have to be compelled to worry regarding aiming to court and taking an extended time to end a case.
- Some trials square measure aiming to be receptive the general public. After you calculate a settlement your info goes to be non-public and you'll not have to be compelled to let others recognize what's happening.
Agreeing to a settlement could be a surer approach for a patient to urge the compensation they be as a result of the number is given by all parties during negotiations. A mesothelioma case can sometimes attend trial if associate degree amphibole company and also the patient don't agree on the number of the settlement provide. During this case, it's going to profit the patient to travel to trial and take a look at to get a fairer quantity. The downside of not taking a settlement, however, is that neither the number of compensation nor the result of the trial is guaranteed.

I like to share this..(below article – from Oprah.com) Good for reading and good for ur health too.. Orang selalu kata.. sedangkan Nabi ampunkan umatnya.. malah terlalu cintakan umatnya.. (i luv u too..) below article is a bit similar laa.. ala2 favorite quote by Datuk Dr Fadhilah Kamsah.. "Maafkan semua orang sebelum tidur.. "
Aku dah makan ubat.. tapi ubat yang tidak mengantukkan.. esok i need to work.. (terpaksa request ubat tak mengantuk.. otherwise.. i will not be productive esok.. ) chiow.
Health Benefits of a Sincere Apology
Saying you're sorry is potent medicine for the giver and receiver.
We all know the feeling. You gossiped and the person found out. You helped yourself to something that wasn't yours (such as someone's spouse). You stole. You lied. You read your child's diary. It never sits quite right—you toss, you turn in bed, you have that sinking feeling in your chest, you eat, you drink too much, you get headaches.
Carol Orsborn, PhD, a research associate at UCLA and author of 15 books including Nothing Left Unsaid: Words to Help You and Your Loved Ones Through the Hardest Times and The Silver Pearl: Our Generation's Journey to Wisdom, tells WebMD about a woman she met while writing the latter book.
Barbara, age 50, was going through a divorce, and her brother was her mainstay, talking her through lonely nights on the phone. Then she met the man of her dreams and moved away. She got so swept up in her new life, she put her brother on the backburner. She missed his birthday.
That's when the sleepless nights began. She was embarrassed to even call. She knew he would be hurt—but would he be angry? Eventually, she picked up the phone. Yes, he was hurt, but he said he understood. She started sleeping again—and talking to her brother.
Orsborn surveyed 100 women in the baby boomer group for The Silver Pearl. "These were women who were role models with a positive attitude, whether or not they had any money," she says.
A key characteristic was their ability and willingness to clear up unfinished business, she notes.
"Stage one," Orsborn says, "is the good little girl stage. No matter what their age, women in this stage may apologize for everything, even things they don't need to. They need to please people."
Stage two is the rebellion period. Women, Orsborn says, can rebel against the pleasing phase and are not likely to apologize for anything! "They are mad about everything," she says.
The third stage is wisdom, she says. "When women get beyond following the rules and beyond reactivity, they take the best of both. This means they have an urge to reconcile legitimate shortcomings."
In terms of health, Orsborn says, "Women at stages one and two tend to have more stress-related disorders and anxiety."
On the flip side, a study done in 2002 by researchers from Hope College and Virginia Commonwealth University showed that heart rate, blood pressure, sweat levels and facial tension decreased in victims of wrongs when they imagined receiving an apology.
In both cases, the people were carrying "the pain of the past," as Orsborn puts it, and then could lay it down and walk away from it.
Neither the apologizer nor the apologizee, however, will benefit if the apology is not sincere.
"Saying you are sorry is so difficult," Alexandra Delis-Abrams, PhD, also known as "The Attitude Doc," tells WebMD. "It's an ego thing. It's humiliating to say you were wrong and are sorry. It means you did something you shouldn't have and you know it. Now you have to take responsibility."
It helps only if you mean it, she adds. "People often just give it lip service. I think there is a song by Garth Brooks that goes, I buried the hatchet, but left out the handle. You can't leave out the handle."
Orsborn recommends invoking a prayer from the Buddhist tradition. "Before you offer an apology or pick up the phone, sit comfortably, breathe slowly and feel the burden of having not asked for forgiveness bear down on you. After you have felt that as deeply as possible, then say to yourself, 'I have hurt someone out of ignorance, anger or confusion, and I ask for the power to forgive myself.'"
Before you can ask for someone else's forgiveness, you have to forgive yourself, Orsborn says. "You won't get the benefits if you don't forgive yourself." In other words, more sleepless nights!
What Not to Say
Here are some wrong ways to go about it:
The D.C. special: "If I have offended some people, I apologize." No ifs.
The two-way: "I am sincerely sorry, but you sort of are to blame, too."
The reset: If the apology is a way to reset the system so you can offend again, this is also insincere. Often-abusing spouses use this one.
Changing Your Cells?
Delis-Abrams says changes in thoughts can program cell structure to provide health benefits. "When you tell a lie," she says, "according to Chinese medicine, the lie gets lodged on the body on the cell level. It can feel like a knot. When you say you are sorry, the body knows the truth of whether you mean it. You are the one who can change your body. You are the one in charge of your thoughts."
She tells of a time she told her son something about his sister that was really his sister's prerogative to tell. "I said I was sorry," she recalls. "I freed myself! I felt much better."
Acceptance or Not
Delis-Abrams says the other person does not have to accept your apology for you to get the health benefits. She tells of two business associates who had a falling out. One wrote to the other and said, "I miss you." Her friend said, "Well, I don't miss her." She wrote back and said she didn't miss her former associate, but now they were both free to move on.
"Your apology may never be accepted," Orsborn says. "You need to find a way to live with that. When you hold onto problems, it's like dragging an anchor. Your best thinking occurs when you find a sense of peace."
And your best night's sleep, too.

Grocery Items You Can Make Better at Home
Breakfast Tarts
Jam-filled interior: check. Icing-drizzled pastry: check. It's official: These golden-brown tarts are everything you love about the store-bought version, plus guess who gets to control the ingredients? That's right—you do.
Fermented tea has gained quite the following for its supposed health benefits. Make a bottle (it takes only five ingredients), then try the ginger and orange variations.
Spicy Almond Butter
A couple teaspoons of harissa, or spiced chile paste, give this four-ingredient almond butter its signature heat. Spread it on toast, add it to stir-fry, or thin it with coconut milk for an Asian-inspired sauce. It's deliciously versatile!
Homemade Oatmeal Cream Pies
Our DIY version of the childhood snack-aisle favorite features ingredients you can actually pronounce—and probably already have in your pantry.
Mozzarella Cheese Sticks
Bypass the frozen aisle the next time you're craving these molten cheese snack sticks. If you have mozzarella cheese sticks, dry bread crumbs, flour, and eggs, you're halfway to marinara sauce-dipped bliss.
Almond Milk
No lactose, and no grocery store run either. Almond milk (and walnut milk, for that matter) is actually super easy to make in your own home.
Homemade English Muffins
Sure, you could pick up bread at the store, but you could also have fresh, homemade English muffins for breakfast tomorrow morning. Make homemade jam, and you'll be unstoppable.
Strawberry Margarita Dessert Sauce
What makes this ruby-red sauce better than store-bought strawberry ice cream topping? It could be the citrusy kick of lime, definitely. But we're betting it's the tequila.
Beef Bone Broth
Protein-packed and full of flavor, bone broth is more than a hot trend on Instagram. Veggies, basil, garlic, and bay leaves give ours its rich taste.
Chocolate-Peanut Butter Granola Bar
In need of some grab-and-go snacks to have on hand? These chocolate-peanut butter granola bars also have oats, crisp rice cereal, pretzels, and chia seeds. So much better than what you'd buy at the store.
All-Time-Favorite Chili con Queso
Maybe this isn't the healthiest snack, but at least you can pronounce the ingredients in this warm, cheesy dip. All that's missing is tortilla chips, but you can make those from scratch, too.
Homemade Graham Crackers
Ever wonder what makes graham crackers so simply delicious? Bake your own and find out.
No-Bake Energy Poppers
Energy bites don't have to be store-bought. These oat-based poppers are sweetened with honey. No cane sugar here!

DIY Coffee Creamer
Missing your favorite flavor of creamer in your morning cup of joe? Don't worry. It's simple to make it yourself. Each flavor of creamer has the same two base ingredients, allowing for easy customization.
Pita Chips
A few strategic cuts across a pita round followed by a brush of olive oil, a sprinkle of oregano, and a little bake time, and you're enjoying crunchy pita chips that have never known the inside of an aluminum-coated bag. Enjoy!
Curly Fries
Skip the freezer aisle, and make curly fries yourself. This recipe calls for only five ingredients: potatoes, flour, salt, pepper, and canola oil for frying.
DIY Marshmallows
Top those homemade graham crackers with homemade marshmallows. Voilà! Delicious, you-know-what's-in-'em s'mores. For even more sweetness, try our coconut, orange cream, and cocoa variations.
Homemade Noodles

NYC Teen Taunted Because of Name
June 12, 2007 § Leave a comment
In my previous article Character Building in American Schools, I failed to mention – purposely – that my wife's meeting with the principal was not to address the character of the children or to introduce 'character building' into the lesson plan. In fact, it was actually to discuss the character of certain faculty or the lack thereof! And there are children living with the realities of their teachers having poor character every day, like Osama Al-Najjar a Staten Island student at the prestigious Tottenville HS, who is taunted daily not only by students but also by his teachers because of his name,
"…his ninth-grade math teacher started calling the Muslim teen of Palestinian descent "bin Laden" – and a security guard told him "we don't want bin Laden's son in our school…" (S. Cohen, New York Post)
Perhaps, if the character building – that I discussed in the above stated article – were implemented in the course curriculum, it would keep not only the children in check but also the adults who have poor manners and bad behavior.

Written by: Brian Michael Bendis
Art by: Doc Shaner (p 1-13), Jay Fabok (p 14-15), & Steve Rude (p 16-24),
Color by: Alex Sinclair
Letters by: Josh Reed
Previously in The Man of Steel
The last issue of Man of Steel starts off with a flashback introducing Rogol Zaar, a decorated galactic war veteran turned anti-Kryptonian insurgent, on Krypton (pre-Superman) as he petitioned the galactic counsel to join his cause. Citing Krypton's ever-expanding science guild as a viral outgrowth of the planet's military-industrial scheme to conquer and enslave the known galaxy, he practically begged the counsel for permission to 'cleanse' the universe of Krypton. Of course, they refuse as one of the members of the galactic counsel Appa Ali Apsa makes clear to Zaar during a private visit. But does that stop him?
The Run Down
This issue picks up with an image of Krypton exploding. In the center of the Milky Way Galaxy, two members from the galactic counsel argue back and forth over who's at fault, whether Zaar is still alive, and whether or not there was a mole in the council who allowed this to happen. As it turns out, Zaar survived the explosion of Krypton, along with baby Kal-El (Superman). However, he immediately kicks into overdrive in hot pursuit of Superman when he discovers at a bar in the Vega system that the Last Son of Krypton lives on earth.
In present-day Metropolis, Perry and Clark find themselves stuck in respective ruts. As he puts it, Perry is "being slowly bled to death" by the competition. He struggles to tow a fine line between maintaining the traditions of classic journalism and embracing the rising trend of quick hitting citizen-journalism.
Clark finds himself stuck between the rock of investigating this new arson story and a hard place of being the subject himself of Q's gossip-lead missing persons' story. The Planet newsroom is abuzz over the disappearance of Lois Lane, especially the new city desk reporter Robinson Goode (with her eye on taking over Lois' office) and gossip columnist Trish Q (who's looking to crack this "story of the year").
Plot of the Panels
This issue was a very quick read for me. The dialogue continues to be choppy and draws attention away from the attendant plot in a not so subtle attempt to retell things we already know about the character of Superman. The dialogue between Trish Q and Robinson Goode was supposed to show us what watercooler conversations look like when it's about Clark. I guess. But it doesn't reveal anything that advances the plot, story, or the two new characters that Bendis introduces. However, there were sightings of that famed white whale otherwise known as 'great Bendis dialogue' in this issue!
Lord Gandelo interrogates Appa Ali Apsa regarding his role in the destruction of Krypton. Gandelo (a new character to the DC landscape) and Apsa (the Mad Guardian from Green Lantern comics) trade suggestive jabs and subtle subs of blame and doubt back and forth. However, at one of my favorite moments in this dialogue, Apsa ends the debate with a thinly veiled threat that rivals the classic the breath-length diatribe delivered by Morgan Freeman as Lucious Fox in Batman Begins. Apsa makes his point known when asks, "what do you think he'll do to you and your 42 star systems if you keep going with this line of inquiry?" Gandelo easily folds. And backs down!
The art in this issue left me wanting more. After staving off an Alaskan tsunami and bringing down a giant robot unleashed by The Toyman in Coast City with the help of Hal Jordan, Superman flashes back the moment where we last saw Lois and Jon. Honestly, I have no clue what is happening here. Both the art and the story lost me at this moment where a half monster, half Beast War Maximal looking thing pops up in the middle of Clark and Lois' apartment. Next, we see a red streak flying into the moon with Superman on-all-fours dripping wet??? We'll have to see what happens from here

Literacy Poster
The objective here was to create a poster that promotes literacy, and use the phrase "Read To Be Free." Admittedly a strange project, and the approach was more akin to concept art than graphic design. But it was a great opportunity to learn to paint digitally in an extremely short timespan.

The blood, sweat and tears of launching one of 2012's freshest brands.
Kathryn Barry is the founder of Kat&Bee, a quiet jewellery brands that has been building its presence across the world, winning press coverage and celebrity fans. The brand hit the mainstream last year, with Kathryn named a NexGem in the Professional Jeweller Hot 100 2012, in association with The Company of Master Jewellers and IJL.
Professional Jeweller: Tell us about 2012 – what were the highlights for Kat&Bee?
Kathryn Barry: It is really hard to pick highlights as I was overwhelmed by all of it. Being shortlisted for Hot 100 of course, and getting Kat&Bee stocked in Opening Ceremony, one of my favourite stores, is definitely up there. The celebrity pick up has been great – Kelly Rowland, Fearne Cotton, Nicky Minaj have all been wearing the jewellery and our press is growing which is great recognition. I am massively into horoscopes and last year was the year of the dragon which is about re-evaluating your life. I have definitely been re-assessing a lot that I think my highlight has to be me allowing myself to do this.
PJ: Have you faced any obstacles launching the brand?
KB: The main challenge that I have had is time and there not being enough hours in the day. At one point I was working three jobs which when I look back was just ridiculous but I wouldn't change it. I was working 16-18 hour days, often six to seven days a week, for most of 2011 which meant a lot of sacrifices. I was like a machine and getting up at 5.30am to do two to three hours on Kat&Bee and Twin [magazine] then going to my day job at The Guardian. I would be answering emails for Kat&Bee and Twin at lunch and then dashing straight to the studio after the day job to get back to work on Kat&Bee or Twin until at least midnight. I was so determined to build the Kat&Bee brand and get it to the place it is at so that I could start 2012 with full dedication and time on both businesses. I felt I had no choice to work in a different way as I wanted to know that I was putting 110% into and knew that the three jobs wasn't forever, which is what kept me going. Now I only have Kat&Bee and Twin to focus on so I do have more time to step back from the business and work out more strategically where to take them. I am still working long hours but it feels very different now. Making the transition from a regular job to running Kat&Bee full time was harder than I thought and I think this is an ongoing but we are getting there and try to take each day and week as it comes. I totally love and 100% believe in both which is what keeps me going.
PJ: What inspires you as a designer?
KB: I just love trialling new things out and seeing where it takes me. My collections have been inspired by different places – the colour, overall vibe and feel of somewhere.
PJ: How do you balance building your brand with your work at Twin?
KB: This has been tricky and can be an ongoing balancing act. Each week I try to work out set days or half days for dedicating time on each. Sometimes it works like a treat and other times every one wants everything at once. That's life I guess. I think I kind of like the balancing act.
PJ: How different is a life in jewellery to a life in magazines? And what made you want to give it up to create jewellery?
KB: It is totally different. I have always had this inner desire to want to have my own business and I think I always knew at some point I would. I think it all started on a yoga holiday in Turkey with one of my best mates which was just before my role at ELLE as promotions director became redundant back in 2009. I spent the whole two weeks working out what I was going to do when I got back as I was convinced that there was going to be a big spell of redundancies so I needed to plan what I was going to do next. The week I got back the redundancies happened and a year later the Kat&Bee brand had started. I loved my time in magazines and I am so glad that I spent over 10 years doing it but I am now onto the next chapter which I love even more. Working on Twin allows me to tap into my old life but with the freedom of it being a smaller and independent team.
PJ: How has Kat&Bee developed as a company over the past year?
KB: My main focus for the past year has been to introduce Kat&Bee to the right stockists and to increase press and celebrity coverage for more brand awareness.
PJ: How would you describe your attitude to work?
KB: I am a very dedicated and hard worker and love it when you have achieved something that you have really spent time (and occasionally sweat and tears) in getting there. I guess I am a journey girl. For me, there is no better feeling when you have achieved something than knowing that you have worked hard to get there. I have no qualms in putting in the hours but also trying to make it fun and relaxed as well, for example with the small pockets of sun we have had we have been making jewellery on our roof terrace whilst listening to music and plays which cannot be bad. I do love to surround myself by people that are really focused and inspiring as it sparks off different ideas and really gets you motivated.
PJ: You have won a selection of impressive international stockists – how did these come about?
KB: Of my international stockists winning Opening ceremony is the one I am most proud of. So how did I win this? Well Opening Ceremony worked with Twin on issue four where we worked with one of their prints for the inside covers and they also sponsored our issue launch party. I met up with the team in New York to talk about Twin and show off the issue and one of the girls commented on one of my rings – which was a Kat&Bee. She then put me in touch with the buying team who were interested but would not place an order until they had seen the pieces in person. I then met up with the buying team at LFW with the collection. They were very inquisitive but loved the collection and then placed the order from there.
PJ: What are your plans for your business in 2013?
KB: My main plans are to tackle the overseas market and to continue to build the brand in the UK. I would like to create more bespoke pieces for costume or red carpet and to possibly work with an art gallery and do a collaboration of some sort.

I bought a cane toad from a local reptile shop about 3 weeks ago now. He is already quite large for a male toad and I'm thinking that he has not had much interaction with people for most of his life, so he seems really jumpy whenever I approach his enclosure. I had expected with his size that he would be eating everything is sight but I have rarely seen him eat and when he does it's no more than a couple insects at a time. He spends almost 24 hours a day sitting in his water dish. Does this seem like normal behavior?
Hi! Toads like to soak, but if he's consistently spending almost his whole day in the dish, that's a bit odd. The rest of the tank may be a bit dry. Toads like the soil a little moist for burrowing, so praying 1-2 times a day may help. The eating sounds like a stress issue, I would recommend covering the back and sides of his enclosure and making sure he has a hiding place. It may take a little while, but he should calm down eventually. Once he does his appetite should be a lot greater. Just out of curiosity, what size enclosure are you keeping him in?
I hope this helps a little, hopefully someone else has more to add.
1 Male Giant African Bullfrog
2 Woodhouse's Toads
11 Pacific Treefrogs
1 Dubia Roach Colony
2 Australian Green Treefrogs

Good Luck,
I would check temperature and humidity--use a hygrometer/thermometer so that you can see enclosure conditions at a glance. Make sure that he has a hide or several hides available, with one facing the front of the enclosure, and cover the back and sides if you can. Field collected cane toads, especially those who are older and larger, can be very hard to settle down into an enclosure. He needs good enclosure conditions and time. The fact that he is eating even small amounts is a good sign.

A 15 pound spear zooms by his head with such force it created wind as it landed deep inside the palace wall. As the young man realized the spear was meant for him, he jumped up and ran out of the palace without saying anything. Sweat drenching his body, dust swirling up behind him, his heart pumping so fast he could see it pounding through his clothes, the young man continues to run for the mountain area outside of town. As he begins to slow down, still exhausted from the threat to his life and the vigorous run he just made a young David comes to a cave to hide out for a while until the threat on his life has subsided.
Upon entering the dark cold depths of the cave, David finds a place to fall to his knees. Still weeping, confused as to why the King was trying to kill him and trying to catch his breath in between his thoughts David cries out,
"Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me. It is in You my soul take refuge. It is here I will take my refuge in the shadow of Your wings until the disaster has passed. I am here crying out to You, my God Most High, to my God who fulfills His purpose in me. It is You, Lord, who reaches down from heaven and saves me, rebuking those who hotly pursue me. You, my Lord, send Your love and faithfulness. I am in the midst of lions here. I am among ravenous beasts. These men whose teeth are like spears and arrows, whose tongues are like sharp swords telling lies about me.
Be exalted, Elohim, above the heavens, let Your glory be over all the earth. When these liars spread a net for my feet, I was bent over in distress. These beast dug a pit in my path for me, but they ended up in the pit themselves.
Jehovah, my heart is steadfast towards You. I will sing and make beautiful music. Awake my soul, Awake you harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn with my praise in music to my God. I will praise You, O Lord, among the nations. I will sing of you among the people. Great is Your love, reaching to the heavens; Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
Be exalted, Elohim, my Adonai. Above the heavens, let Your glory be over all the earth."
At this point, I am sure a young and totally spent David, fell further to the ground to rest. Men, we find ourselves on run sometimes. Hopefully not literally as David did, but in our lives we will find ourselves in the middle of being on the run within ourselves. People accusing us falsely. Others after us. Some claiming to be our brothers in Christ not being truthful to us. Many in the church not coming to our aid at all, but actually causing life to be worse than better. Bill collectors calling because we have found ourselves in a financial disaster with no vision of a way out. Possibly you are a commission income person with little to no prospects for income in the future that you can see. Guys, we can find ourselves in different corners of this life with spears hurling at our heads, but what will we do?
If we are truthful about our situations, we will understand that God is leading us to a special cave he has designed just for us. It is there we find refuge and security. It is in this quiet cave that we are able to gather our thoughts again and the ability to set quietly and hear God speak. It is in this cave that some decisions are made about our situation. Will we retreat further into self-pity and allow ourselves to become depressed over it? Will we become so angry about our enemies attacks or it could even be anger with God for allowing us to be in that situation? In this case we might even try to get revenge upon our assailant. This usually only leads further down into a dark hole and sin that crushes all of our hopes and dreams. However, there is a third approach we can take to our time as a caveman. Stop and think for a moment who it is who lead us into the cave? God was the orchestrator of this entire event. In this cave He has a purpose for us there. Something we are to learn that we would not learn in posh, easy living, is allowing circumstances to evolve in our lives that pushes us directly towards a downfall and ultimately into a cave for refuge, where we find our God waiting.
This third approach is found in Psalm 57. As we read the account, which is the crying out to God that David did earlier in this article, although David was in distress and rightly so, he simply would not let himself get angry or depressed…he praised and worshipped God. David was thankful to God for His deliverance of him. He thanked God for reaching down out of heaven to save him. He praised Elohim, our Supreme Faithful Master, for His faithful, loyal love to him. This kind of reaction to such a dire situation is the healing we men need. It is the encouragement that springs forth new life to our weary souls. It is in taking a situation that was so near death and glorifying our God with it that helps us to catch a glimpse of how huge our God really is and little we really are. Yet, in our tininess, God still stoops down to save His chosen ones.
Guys, throughout this life, we will find all shapes and sizes of spears hurled at us. How are we going to react to it? I have a small tin plaque on my wall in the closet at my home. On it is a quote from John Wayne "Courage is when you are scared to death and you still saddle up anyway". In this cave, gentlemen, we may be scared sometimes. We may find ourselves trembling a bit from fear. However, we must force ourselves with the power of the Holy Spirit to turn towards our heavenly Father, cry out to Him for fresh new mercies each morning, and saddle back up to ride another day. This cave is not our home, guys. This cave is our university…it is our special place of learning from God Himself through His word. The cave experience is a place that helps us to bounce back in order to face the enemy that would like to destroy us on a daily basis. Our families deserve for us to become a caveman for a while. It is to their benefit we go through these times. Is it easy? I should say with a resounding "NO" it is not easy. I would not pray to go through it again, however, I would not take a million dollars for the education received while in that cave.
As David was in the middle of one of his most life changing, distressing times of his life, he chose to honor, praise and glorify God. I want to point out 10 ways David reacted to his disastrous situation.
1. He asked for mercy from God.
2. He took refuge in the shadow of God.
3. He cried out for God to fulfill His purpose in him even in the midst of his trial.
4. He recognized that his salvation comes from God.
5. He praised God for His steadfast and faithful love to him.
6. He puts the attackers and accusers on God's shoulders.
7. David breaks out in praise and worship to God rather than self-pity or revenge.
8. He sets his mind on the things of God rather than his distressing situation.
9. David stresses the faithfulness and loyal love of God upon him even in this dire event in his life.
10. David trusted in his God-Elohim rather than in his own strengths and ability.
Men, we need to remember something about this entire event…it is not forever. David did not dwell in this cave forever. He's become one of the greatest kings ever. He was a man after God's own heart. He was a fierce warrior in times of war. He was a great leader for Israel. However, his caveman experience was necessary so that he would lean hard upon God rather than himself. We need to learn to do the same. In our times of horrible distress, we must lean hard upon God, take refuge in the shadow of His wings. Be eager to grow spiritually in the faith through the word of God. Be still and know that He is God. Rather than fighting our situations, whatever they may be, we need to embrace it and seek the light of the glory of God's face.
As we are able to see the light at the end of the cave we are in, we will find our lives forever changed. Hopefully, the change will be a good one. We are men fighting in the trenches everyday. We have to fight it seems to provide for our families sometimes at a great sacrifice, but take courage in our Lord, saddle up and face our lives with the assurance that God is with us. Ride out with praise and honor to our Almighty God and know that no matter the outcome of the situation, God is still great…God is still Almighty…God is still Sovereign…God is still reigning upon His throne. Nothing we do and nothing we say changes our Adonai.

Looks like I'm back. But there are going to be some changes around here.
First, I will ignore this blog for months at a time. Wait that's not new. I'm going to write when I want to write. Wait, that's not new either. I'm probably not going to detail every time Wife fucks some other guy. That's new. I'll probably tell you about new guys and I plan to keep the stats up to date (maybe), but I'm not going to detail every time BD fucks her (unless it is as seldom as it was in February).
Second, the course of this blog is about to change. To this point, I've tried to keep pretty close to the topic of Wife getting a lover. I've thrown in a few posts about fantasies, and some on our exploits on our own. I will no longer avoid discussing things not related to the title.
Third, my posts will probably be shorter and more to the point. I won't be telling every aspect of every love making session. Why? Cause it's become routine for us for Wife to fuck around. It has become part of our norm. It's still a lot of fun, just writing about it is not as fun as before. I'll probably let you know when we do something different and may even go to depths at times.
Lastly, we're going to try playing with couples. Wife is finally comfortable enough with this to give it a try (sort of). So we are going to our first swinger meet and greet. Maybe my next post will be about a foursome.
In the mean time, enjoy this.

Tourism: the other Aussie ripoff?
In recent months the retail industry has been beside itself over e-commerce, even requiring a lengthy if unproductive examination by the Productivity Commission.
How do you choose your holiday destination? Leave a comment
About $10 billion worth of merchandise was sold to Australians over the internet last year, of which a good 45 per cent was from offshore sites. The appetite for buying overseas can be interpreted as either unpatriotic behaviour or, perhaps more objectively, as rational consumers trying not to get ripped off.
But despite the tormented cries of Australia's retail captains about the internet, the preference of Australians for foreign goods is hardly a new thing. Exactly the same phenomenon has been evident for years in the tourism industry, and is set to continue that way unless the culture and practices of domestic services industries improve drastically.
According to government data, Australia last year ranked 41st in the world for tourism arrivals from overseas (5.9 million visitors) and 8th for tourism revenues, raking in a cool US$30 billion.
However, in the same year Australians themselves splurged US$23 billion overseas. Even in 2009, in the face of swine flu and a whopper of a downturn, Australian resident departures grew by 8.2 per cent.
This wasn't a flash in the pan. Since 2001 Australian departures overseas have grown by 8.4 per cent annually. Sadly, while this has been happening, domestic overnight trips have fallen by 1.1 per cent per year. Domestic visitor nights have declined in tandem by 1.2 per cent per annum.
Australians took 74.6 million domestic overnight trips in 2001 but only 67.4 million in 2010, despite the fact that the resident population grew by almost 3 million people during the same period.
Domestic and international tourism trends are clearly travelling in opposite directions, with domestic holidays coming off the worst.
This situation is not set to improve if forecasts by Australia's Tourism Forecasting Committee are borne out. It expects domestic overnight trips to increase from 67.4 million to 70.3 million in 2020, which would still be well under the level of 2001.
However, even that is better than it looks because in per-capita terms it means domestic overnight trips will have declined from 3.8 per 1000 inhabitants in 2001 to 2.8 per 1000 inhabitants by 2020, a decline of 26 per cent.
The emergence and expansion of budget airlines and a strong dollar have something to do with the preference for overseas travel but there is a lot more to it than that.
It's definitely not the local attractions. Australia's incredible natural endowments, unlike its retailers, certainly don't pale in comparison with what is available overseas, although some question the skill with which these wonders are marketed.
Here is where the parallel with spending on offshore e-commerce sites comes in. Consumer research and anecdotal evidence suggest that one of the big reasons people are voting with their passports, just as in retail spending they vote with their clicks, is that they perceive an Australian holiday as offering poorer value for money.
The cost of domestic air travel is perceived as one culprit but this is not really the heart of the problem since it is still generally cheaper to fly around Australia than it is to fly outside of it.
Rather, the overall holiday package is seen as too costly and, as noted by a consultant's study for Tourism Australia as long ago as 2008, is associated with declining standards of product quality and service.
Just as in merchandise retailing, the cost basis of accommodation, restaurants and other travel amenities is simply overblown relative to options overseas, particularly in Asia and the US.
Unfortunately, Australia's run-down hospitality infrastructure and "do it yourself because I'm not doing it for you" service culture simply underscores the loftiness of the price tag.
The tourism industry – unlike retailers who are now been stung to action by the internet – may not do anything because it doesn't actually care. After all, there are all those millions of Chinese tourists hot to trot, so who cares if Australians go elsewhere?
This is a very dangerous attitude. As in the education industry, international competition for the newly rich in Asia is limbering up. For example, a recent report issued by the US Travel Association, Ready for Takeoff, outlined a plan to create 1.3 million new jobs by targeting Asian tourists, partly through streamlining its visa issuance procedures.
Australia also needs a plan, not just to bring in foreign tourists but to engage domestic ones, just as its retailers need to do better to engage Australian shoppers.
