Well, here's something: to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the attacks of 9/11, former Florida congressman and current MSNBC host Joe Scarborough has spilled his heart out in the form of a song.
The Huffington Post caught up with Scarborough to get some insight into his country track "Reason to Believe."
"It's critical that we remember the heroes of 9/11 and those who are still fighting in an endless war," he said. "They need to come home. It's time."The song is certainly a noble effort, but, let's be honest, who's going to get riled up with lyrics like these?
"In the flash of an hour / Watching dreams fall from towers / All I once knew came tumbling down."
To say nothing of the refrain:
"What would you guess about a stranger's caress? / That reminds me of what we used to be / At the end of the hour, when I'm drained of all power / I still find a reason to believe."
Anyway, rock on, Joe.

Authorities Hunted Plane Following Distress Signal Activated

You can do this, and also attempt speaking to individuals you know or in front of the mirror while producing exaggerated mouth movements. Another way is to sing the words out confidently although pretending to be in front of a theater audience. The way I describe the ideal way to do speech recognition dictation is to exaggerate your pronunciation slightly and be a bit monotone. Slurring words is death to a speech recognition program. I also use a slightly different inflection when I give commands versus when I am dictating text. This seems to operate greater the longer I use the application simply because more than time the speech engine improves its capability to recognize context.When word started to spread, more than the following weeks, that Google had introduced neural translation for Chinese to English, some individuals speculated that it was simply because that was the only language pair for which the business had decent results. Everyone at the celebration knew that the reality of their achievement would be clear in November.

BTW, I get anything like 98% correct recognition with this plan, which is greater than any claims I've noticed for continuous speech applications. The mis-recognitions typically involve uncommon words - Dutch place names for example - but the next time such words take place they are recognised without difficulty.Becoming in a position to order things, pick music, get details, and a lot more by speaking to digital assistants such as Amazon's Alexa, Google Assistant, and Microsoft's Cortana has been such a hit that pressure will be on for much more ways to interact with machines using voice, the researchers predicted.Beyond blocking spoilers, Misener says the underlying technology has huge implications for things like translation systems, speech recognition and voice control systems.

If you love chocolate, then you have to love Nutella! Okay I lied, I wasn't really much of a chocolate lover, but there was something about Nutella that was so addictive! Being the typical girl, I would eat based on my mood, so I would have a few tablespoons with strawberries or toast if I was happy, or eat the whole jar with a spoon if I was stressed or upset. I'm glad I got to say goodbye to those stress eating days, and even more glad that I came across this healthy sugar free recipe on Mariel's website (amazingpaleo.com)! Yes people, you can still enjoy Nutella and not fall off your fitness goals. 😀
2 cups hazelnuts
3 tbsp raw cacao powder (or 10 drops of stevia if you want it sugar free)
1 tbsp organic coconut palm sugar
2 tbsp organic cold pressed coconut oil (melted)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Place hazelnuts on a non stick baking sheet and roast hazelnuts for 12 minutes
When ready, let it sit out overnight on the counter.
Take the shells off the hazelnuts the next day (the shells should fall off easily)
Place hazelnuts in food processor and pulse for 3 minutes until buttery consistency forms.
Add cacao powder and palm sugar and pulse for another 2 minutes, then add coconut oil and pulse again until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Pour mixture into a mason jar or ramekin dish that has a cover and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Enjoy with anything when ready 🙂

Designers & Manufacturers of Access Control & Security Systems
After over 23 years of outstanding service to the security industry in Australia, New Zealand, the UK and many other regions, it is time for Inner Range's Concept system to retire.
Our Concept product range will enter into the End Of Life status from April 2nd 2019 (EOL Date). After this EOL date, we will continue to sell the Concept range while existing stocks last, however manufacturing of additional stock will cease.
The successor to the Concept system is Inner Range's highly acclaimed Integriti System and in this notice, we are going to explain how you can service, support and cost-effectively transition any Concept site to the even more advanced platform of Integriti.
We are fully committed to supporting existing Concept products and we will be offering technical support, spare parts and repairs for a reasonable period of time from the EOL date. This is expected (but not guaranteed) to be approximately 5 years based on historical data, and whilst access to electrical components and resources are reasonably available to us at commercially viable rates.
If you find that your Concept system needs to be expanded or needs to support more modern features, we have a very affordable migration path to our latest Integriti system.
Upgrading to Integriti can be done at a fraction of the cost of installing an entirely new system - this is because 95% of the existing Concept equipment is already compatible with Integriti, so there is no need to replace most of your existing Concept components.
Lastly, we just wanted to say a quick thank you for all the support that has been shown for our Concept products.
While we look forward towards an exciting future, Concept products will continue to receive the same level of support and services that customers have come to expect from us.

People were freaking out recently when they learned the U.S. border patrol set up a roadblock on Interstate-95 in Maine to check the citizenship of drivers and their passengers.
One of those expressing bafflement bordering on outrage was Senator Angus King of Maine, on NBC's Meet the Press last Sunday: "Do we stop American citizens in the middle of a highway and ask for their papers?"
Yes, senator. Been going on for a very long time. Legal within 100 miles of the border.
I've run into one of those checkpoints in Arizona – I'll tell you about it later – where it's commonplace and seems acceptable to use any means to snare people who don't habla Inglés.
But the practice inside the northern border was alien to many who reasonably assumed it was an extension of the Provocateur in Chief's anti-immigrant hysteria.
And hundreds took to the Twitter barricades to protest.
"This is outrageous," began one of the more cogent tweets. "Essentially this out of control agency is harassing US citizens with a demand of 'Papers please!'"
The checkpoint in Maine was up for about eleven hours last week in the southbound lanes of I-95 near the town of Lincoln, about 90 miles from the Canadian border.
"We need to know what … country you're a citizen of," a border patrol agent told a reporter for the Bangor Daily News who was questioned.
I've had my share of hassles at the U.S.-Canada border. But in my forty-plus years of living in Canada and crossing over – from coast to coast – I've never encountered the border patrol, much less been stopped at a checkpoint.
Yet, all the times I've visited my daughter Kate in southern Arizona since she moved to Tucson in 2002, I've found border patrol vehicles as ubiquitous as cop cars in downtown Toronto.
The only time we ventured to Mexico, I ran into the border patrol going down and coming back.
We took the long way south, pausing in the tiny hamlet of Arivaca before entering Ruby Road, 35 miles of dirt and rock through the Coronado National Forest.
The road rose and fell and twisted around tall craggy mountains. Driving at about 15 mph, I nearly collided with a speeding border patrol vehicle coming at me on a hairpin turn.
When we finally arrived in Nogales, Arizona, we left my rental car in a parking lot and walked two blocks, through unattended turnstiles, into Nogales, Mexico.
No federales in sight. The only Mexican to note my entrance was a teenager hawking pharmaceuticals. "You need Viagra, mister?"
We did some shopping, haggling in the local languages of commerce – English and U.S. dollars.
After dinner, we walked out of Mexico, stopping momentarily at a desk where a U.S. Customs' agent was chatting with a friend. "U.S.A.?" she asked, barely looking up.
We nodded – and walked into the United States.
Heading back to Tucson on I-19 after dark, about 20 miles from the border, we ran into a roadblock – the northbound freeway closed off, vehicles forced onto an exit ramp.
At the top of the ramp were border patrol agents with guns and dogs. They'd planted a U.S. flag, an eerie Iwo Jima tableau in the Arizona desert.
The agent took one look at me, a middle-aged white guy in a baseball cap, and waved me through with a shout: "Colorado, go!"
I went.
It took me a while to figure out what he meant, recall that my car had Colorado plates.
There's more on my visit to Nogales – "I give you two blankets and a bottle of tequila for your daughter" – and many other adventures in my memoir, The Expat Files: My Life in Journalism, available in print and Kindle editions from Amazon.com and Amazon Canada.

T-S covers Council turndown
Hunter Cresswell, covering tonight's City Council meeting for the Times-Standard filed this report a few minutes ago:
..All council members attended the meeting in a packed house in the Ferndale City Hall council chambers. So many people showed up city clerk Kristene Hall had to set out extra chairs for the more than 50 members of the public present.
During the flag salute at the beginning of the meeting, some members in the crowd put extra emphasis on the "for all" at the end of the Pledge of Allegiance.
Ferndale Elementary School teacher Maria [sic] Rodriguez came to the podium to comment in tears.
"I'm here asking for your support with our students and our families," she said. "We have families that don't have food in their house because they are afraid to go grocery shopping so I have student coming to school hungry and afraid."
After Rodriguez's comment, the crowd erupted into a thunderous standing ovation…

Nilay Mehrotra met Raj Garg at a common friend's birthday party. Their engineering background got them off to a great start and what started as a casual conversation ended up in an intense discussion on start-up ideas. The duo soon launched their first start-up, in home automation, in November 2016. In a span of a few months, they realised that the start-up won't fly given the numerous players already present in the segment. But that didn't stop them from pursuing their next idea.
In March 2017, they launched Chariot Tech, a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) start-up which among other things does predictive analytics and offers IoT and software-as-a-service applications. The Delhi-based start-up's first success was a major project for the Maharashtra government where they provided 45 advanced water meters to villages in Wardha. "We have tied-up with UK's Axioma Metering to build meters. These water meters combined with our platform help in predicting leakages, thefts and bursts," says Mehrotra.
While Chariot is focusing on software-based products, supplying the hardware to the companies they deal with, remains a challenge. "We are simultaneously aggregating device manufacturers to solve this issue. We have already partnered with 14 manufacturers and aiming to onboard 45 more," explains Mehrotra.
Once a client signs up, they are charged a monthly fee based on the number of devices installed. For smaller companies using SaaS, the monthly cost may vary from Rs.40-60 per device. But for bigger companies and for clients based abroad, the pricing for using PaaS is around $650 per month irrespective of the number of devices installed, with a cap of 1,000 devices.
At present, the start-up is working with a Belgium-based company on waste bin management all across Europe. It has also been approached by Indian companies such as Pidilite, Titan and Relaxo who want to use IoT for logistics and manufacturing. However, Mehrotra and his team of 15 are targeting western markets as they claim to be the only start-up with this offering, the only other player being established giant Hewlett-Packard (HP).
Mehrotra says, "HP's focus is on network management for telecom giants. We feel privileged to have a competitor like HP and the fact is, it helps create a good impression when pitching to clients." In the coming months, to scale up faster, the start-up is eyeing public utilities for smart cities, manufacturing and transportation.

8 Times You Should Pay Attention To Your Kid's Sadness
To say a child is a small skin bag full of emotions is an understatement. It seems like their over-the-top emotional reactions can be triggered in an instant and without warning. Whether it's a toddler throwing a tantrum, or a pre-teen on the hormonal rollercoaster that is puberty, it can be difficult to tell if your child's emotions are typical for their developmental stage, or a sign of something more serious. In fact, there are moments when you should pay attention to your kid's sadness, because if it's ignored entirely that seemingly innocuous sadness could progress into something more.
My two kids seem to be on the opposite ends of the emotional spectrum. My 5-year-old son tends to be more reserved, sans the occasional spontaneous tantrum, while my 10-year-old daughter wears her feelings very clearly on her metaphorical sleeve. The emotional distance my son keeps is much more my style, which explains why it's sometimes harder to deal with, or relate to, my daughter. And while I'm not knocking the way she manages her emotions, especially since she's on the cusp of puberty, I must admit that I don't always know when her sadness is an indication of something more.
Having a history of depression myself, you'd think it'd be easy for me to spot the signs and symptoms. On the contrary. At times, I'm so clouded by my own perception of sadness, it's hard to differentiate the severity of sadness in others without asking them directly. Sometimes I can be overly sensitive to my daughter's tears when all she needs is to vent, and other times I might assume she's just throwing a fit after not getting her way and, as a result, appear cold.
So with that in mind, and because it doesn't hurt to remain vigilant when it comes to your child's emotional and mental health, here are some times you should definitely pay attention to your kid's sadness:
When The Sadness Persists
Everyone gets down sometimes, but it's important to note how long your child seems so sad. According to WebMD a symptom of childhood depression is "continuous feelings of sadness and hopelessness."
My daughter usually bounces right back after a few tears, but every once in a while she remains sad for a number of days. When that happens, I pull her aside to see if there's a deeper reason why she is sad. I'd rather be too proactive then get involved too late.
When Your Child Feels Hopeless
Because of my own predisposed idea of depression, if my daughter uses any vocabulary of despair and hopelessness, I jump right in. "The primary symptoms of depression revolve around sadness, a feeling of hopelessness, and mood changes," according to WebMD, so just like adults a child who is experiencing depression will appear hopeless.
Kids don't always know how to manage their feelings and some small things can feel monumental. Address all of it and remind them there's always hope. Always.
When They Isolate Themselves
Persistent feelings of sadness and hopelessness often leads to isolation. According to WebMD, "social withdrawal" and "reduced ability to function during events and activities at home or with friends, in school, extracurricular activities, and in other hobbies or interests" are both signs of childhood depression. If your child spends more time alone in their room, than usual, or doesn't seem interested in hobbies they used to love, it's time to consider a more serious underlying issue.
When They're Angry & Irritable
Kids are going to get irritated. Kids are going to act out. Kids are going to get angry, especially if they don't get their way. But if your child's irritability and/or anger increases, and at a time when they're sad and isolating themselves, it might be time to consider taking your child to see a health care professional.
According to WebMD, "Early medical studies focused on 'masked' depression, where a child's depressed mood was evidenced by acting out or angry behavior." Irritability, anger, and outbursts, when coupled with extreme sadness, could be sign of something more.
When They Suffer From Physical Ailments That Don't Improve With Treatment
Rachelle Theise, Psy.D., a clinical assistant professor and child psychologist at The NYU Child Study Center, tells Parents, "Parents should also be concerned if symptoms last for more than two weeks and persist in various settings." One of those symptoms includes "frequent complaints of physical illnesses such as headaches and stomachaches." If your child is sad and complaining of physical ailments that don't improve with treatment, it's probably time to consult a professional.
When Their Eating Habits Change
Another thing to pay close attention to is how much or how little your child is eating. As someone who's suffered from eating disorders to manage my depression my entire life, I can tell you that a sudden change in eating habits can very well be a sign of something more.
When There Are Signs Of Self Harm
Obviously any kind of self-harm is a red flag to seek immediate, professional treatment. As a child, I engaged in self-harm as a means to shut off my emotions. I've noticed my daughter sometimes exhibits the same habit (but in a different way). While I don't want to alarm her, I do keep a close watch, hoping those times were rare and a result of her trying to manage complicated feelings.
If self-harm is something you suspect, your child may benefit from speaking with an adult that isn't you (like a therapist). There's no shame and, if anything, it shows your child that you're listening.
When They Can't Concentrate Or Have Low Energy
Jephtha Tausig-Edwards, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist and clinical instructor at Mt. Sinai Medical Center in New York City, tells Parents, "It is important to realize that depression usually results from a combination of factors, so looking for a 'smoking gun' or assigning blame is not helpful and can be counterproductive in the treatment process." Keep that in mind if you notice that your child is having trouble concentrating and/or has low energy. Can kids be easily distracted? Of course. Can they get tired? Obviously. But if these symptoms are coupled with a few of the aforementioned symptoms above, your child's sadness could be a sign of something more severe.
Kids are going to feel sad. It's part of life. I still get sad and sometimes it has nothing to do with my depression. The key is knowing when to intervene.

text: In Noel Canning v. NLRB, the Supreme Court issued a labor law decision most surprising because of its unanimity. The Supreme Court held on June 26, 2014, that President Obama's controversial January 2012 appointments of three members to the National Labor Relations Board (Sharon Block, Terence F. Flynn, and Richard Griffin) were invalid exercises of his office under the Constitution. The NLRB in that case had ruled against an employer in an unfair labor practice charge. The employer appealed, asserting that because three of the nation's five Board members had been placed on the Board by the President as "recess appointments" during a time when the Senate was not actually in recess, the Board lacked authority to issue any ruling at all.

Why no credit given to Studio Ghibli?
Kubo And The Two Strings director Travis Knight talked about how his team at Laika was inspired by Japanese art - both classical and modern.
But there is another source of inspiration he has not mentioned: Any work of animation that refers to a fantasy version of ancient Japan owes a debt to Studio Ghibli.
More than any other creator of filmed art, the house that made The Tale Of Princess Kaguya (2013) and Spirited Away (2001) popularised stories and images of old Japan around the world, especially in the West.
The label has been nominated for the Academy Awards five times, so it is not exactly unknown in Hollywood. Mr John Lasseter, chief creative officer of Pixar Animation and Disney Animation Studios, credits the work of legendary Ghibli film-maker Hayao Miyazaki for opening his eyes to the potential of animation to tell stories that can move people of all ages, and made a public show of crediting the now- retired writer-director's influence in Disney's Big Hero 6 (2014).
In Kubo, we see lantern-lit houses; there are pale, luminous dragons writhing in the air; there are creepy characters in masks that float by, slowly. If you have seen Spirited Away, the images will be familiar.
Knight's omission is puzzling. Perhaps he thinks giving credit might be obvious and gauche, or maybe it has something to do with the charges that he has whitewashed a film set in Asia.
Whitewashing is the term activists use to charge film-makers with a form of racism. Rather than use Asian actors to play Asian characters, Western film-makers use white actors and sometimes change the race of historically Asian characters so white actors can play the parts.
Asian-American activists have targeted Kubo for criticism and other targets of their ire include the upcoming anime-turned-live- action movie, Ghost In The Shell (2017), where a sentient cyborg named Kusanagi is played by Scarlett Johansson. Another target of online ire is The Great Wall (2016), coming up soon. Directed by Chinese film-maker Zhang Yimou (Raise The Red Lantern, 1991; House Of Flying Daggers, 2004), the fantasy film features Matt Damon as a hero helping soldiers in ancient China fend off monsters.
My theory is that Knight just wanted to avoid more controversy.
Giving credit to Ghibli would just open the door to more criticism for casting white voice actors when there are plenty of Asian-American actors hungry for work.
But he might have just missed an opportunity to defend his artistic choices by not mentioning the venerated Japanese studio.
Because Ghibli, too, made racially inappropriate voice casting choices. Many of its films are set in Europe and, as far as I know, the studio used Japanese actors to voice white characters in Howl's Moving Castle (2004) and Porco Rosso (1992).
Yes, the comparison is a little trite - Japanese-speaking white actors are probably rare in Japan - but the point is that Ghibli used actors who the movie-makers felt made the characters speak the way they heard them in their heads.
Laika should be afforded the same leeway.

Deus reveals their 4K Odin SteamVR Headset
The resolution of this VR headset is insane
Published: 11th December 2018 | Source: Upload VR |
Deus reveals their 4K Odin SteamVR Headset
The Russian startup DEUS has unveiled their first SteamVR headset, which hopes to release with high-resolution screens and a tracking system that can cover areas larger than Valve's SteamVR lighthouse system.
The ODEN VR headset will offer users two 2160x2160 screens, delivering a combined resolution of 4320x2160 and a 110-degree field of view, representing a resolution boost of almost 7.2x over the HTC Vive and a 2x resolution boost over the HTC Vive Pro. On top of that, DEUS' laser-based 'Horus' stations are said to offer wider angle projections than Valve's Lighthouse system, offering a maximum tracking area of 200 square meters, supporting more base stations to cover larger areas.
In February DEUS plans to release their ODEN Pre headset, offering developers a 3DoF (degrees of freedom) controller. This model will cost an estimated $1100 and is intended for developers and business users. A refined consumer version of the headset will release in SUmmer 2019 with 6DoF controllers, offering enhanced tracking and an Oculus-style appearance.
The ODEN is also the first VR headset that will use VirtualLink's USB-C cable standard for headset connectivity, though at this time it is unknown whether or not end users will have the option to use other display standards for connectivity, either through an adapter or otherwise.
With the Horus headset being SteamVR compatible, the headset should be able to function with all of Steam's VR games right out of the box, though games with motion controls will require the headset's 6DoF controllers, making the Pre model difficult for gamers to use.
DEUS plans to showcase their 4K ODIN VR headset at CES 2019.
You can join the discussion on Deus' 4K Odin SteamVR Headset on the OC3D Forums.

To me the best VR test for clarity and resolution etc is Elite dangerous, as the common problem right now is reading text while sat in the cockpit. Even the Vive Pro didnt help that much.
Pimax 5k+ was almost crystal clear, but the headset itself looks terrible and not very comfortable. Lets hope this one will be the new king of the hill. Certainly looks decent.Quote
Pretty cool but I'm not investing in VR again until there is true 4K per eye.
8K" has a resolution of 3,840 × 2,160 per-eye
5K+ has 2,560 × 1,440
to me I think the 5k+ is optimal. I don't need 4k or have to spend £2300 for a titan card to run it smoothly.
Interesting thing is that previewers and reviewers are all recommending the 5k+ over the 8k.Quote
The ideal VR headset would have a combined 200 degrees of horizontal view (around 125 degrees per eye as the FoV for each eye overlaps around 75 degrees into the FoV of the other eye) and around a FoV of around 130 degrees vertically. This would cover the entire range of vision for most people with a bit extra to prevent a sudden border. Such a wide FoV would really require the use of eye tracking and foveated rendering to reduce the load on the GPU though.Quote

A month has barely even rolled by in this new year…why am I already talking about ways to motivate yourself even if you don't feel like making your goals happen?
While it seems like every single person online is making goals — hitting the gym, eating healthy, getting organized, starting their work-from-home businesses…you're just plain tired.
You're happy if you make it through the day without feeling like you want to go back to bed or rock yourself back and forth in a corner of the room.
If that's how you're feeling…know beyond a doubt that you're not the only one.
It's rough feeling positive about your goals 150% of the time.
Usually in response to those feelings overwhelm, it's not unusual to hear a couple common phrases shared around on social media. Either:
- It's okay you're feeling that way, and it's okay to give yourself a pass and ditch the plans. You're perfectly imperfect, and that's just life.
- Just get over yourself, push through it, make it happen, regardless of how you're feeling.
But honestly, neither of those options are the answer.
They're actually pretty detrimental to your goals.
The first one encourages you to give up your goals, to give yourself a hug, feel a little sorry for yourself, blame your circumstances a bit…and console yourself into feeling that because you're doing your best and you're just tired, you can shove your goals under the rug and move on just the way you are. And, frankly, you just end up stagnating.
You stay the same.
Nothing changes.
Another day, another week, another month…another year rolls by…
And you're still doing the same thing, making the same goals…and never quite succeeding at them.
The second one caves to the #hustle mindset, where if you're not working yourself to the bone to get your goals made, then you just aren't working hard enough. So push through the pain, push through the exhaustion…and just work, work, work. Until finally your brain and your body just give out on you. And you're at the point where you just can't work anymore.
(Read more on why you should stop the #hustle movement pronto.)
Clearly neither of these options give you favorable results. And both actually end up leading to the same problem: ultimately still discouraged because you aren't making your goals happen.
So instead of repeating the cycle over and over again, let's look at 10 ways you can motivate yourself when you just don't feel like making your work-from-home goals happen.
1. Don't wait until the first of the week to start on your goals.
How many times have you failed your goals the first day or two of the week…and then you feel like you've just blown it for the week? So you mentally prepare yourself to start up again next week, and then give yourself a pass for the rest of the week (show of hands who does that!).
While the idea of a new week does do wonders to help with a clean slate, it really kills any motivation left for the current week you're on. And it leaves you feeling really down in the dumps.
Whether you're feeling the slump Monday afternoon or Friday morning, there is still so much more time you CAN be working on your goals! Maybe it doesn't mean you get as much done as you had hoped to. But that's okay! As long as you are at least working on some part of your goal, you're still getting something done.
Stop thinking of Mondays as being your fresh start, and start thinking of each day as a fresh start. And even more than that, start thinking of each part of your day as a new time to begin.
Your morning didn't go as planned? That's okay! You still have this afternoon and evening to make at least some headway on a project.
Learn to make right now a fresh start.
2. Make time to work out.
Wait, aren't I supposed to be helping you find ways to help you accomplish goals…not add more to your list of things to do?
I'm making an exception on this list because working out is really that important. Now, I'm not saying you have to go join a gym and spend a few hours every day there. And I'm not saying you have to just love every minute of working out.
What I am encouraging you to do is to make it a point to focus on moving for at least 20 to 45 minutes a day (more if you'd like!).
You can join a gym, but there are a lot of other options: go for an up-tempo walk, rent exercise DVDs from the library, get workout videos on YouTube, join a fitness club (boxing, yoga, cycling, etc.), jump on the trampoline with your kids. You get the idea : )
Exercising gives your brain a chance to stop thinking all about work and focus on something else for a little bit. And it gives your eyes a break from staring at the computer screen. It also releases endorphins throughout your body, which makes your body actually feel good.
Beyond that, exercising is also just plain healthy for you. It's important to take care of your body. After all, it is the only one you have to meet your goals with! ; )
3. Get enough sleep.
Skipping out on an hour or two of sleep is one of the easiest ways to get more time in your day and more stuff done, right?
For busy entrepreneurs, it's easy to think we can power through on a few short hours of sleep every night. If we can skip some sleep now, we'll be able to get more done.
But we're actually hurting ourselves far more when we consistently miss out on sleep.
The average adult needs about 7-8 hours of sleep a day. Getting less than that can lead to a lot of problems like lack of attention and focus and unable to solve problems and stay organized. Definitely key factors needed to function well when you're working
Beyond that though, a lack of sleep can lead to health issues like getting sick more often and more easily. Beyond that, it can also lead to weight gain, high blood pressure, diabetes, even heart attack and stroke.
And not enough sleep can also lead to depression, which most definitely affects how you feel about making your goals happen.
(Just so you know I'm not making things up, you can read more here!)
Taking care of your brain's and your body's health isn't just an option when it comes to making your goals happen — it's imperative!
This next point isn't going to make myself many friends. But it needs to be said…
4. Stop feeling sorry for yourself.
I can't tell you the number of times I have heard other work-from-home hopefuls talk about how hard it is to get started working from home — their schedule is too packed, their kids are too noisy, their husband isn't on board 100%. They are too tired or too distracted. They don't have enough skills or enough connections.
The list goes on and on.
Now, it is important to take a realistic approach to the challenges you have. Because many times the challenges are very much real. They may not be other people's challenges, but to you, they are — and that's what makes them valid to you. And I'm not saying you should deny the difficulties you do have (because if you ignore the challenges, how are you supposed to face and overcome them?!).
There's a difference between been a realist and feeling sorry for yourself. A realist is able to look at the issue, realize there are both both positive and negatives to the situation, and then deal with the challenges.
Sitting in a state of feeling sorry for yourself zaps all your energy right out of you. It becomes all consuming, really. It makes you feel depressed, unmotivated. It changes your mood, changes your perspective.
And it spends wastes valuable time you could instead be using to face your challenges and tackle your goals.
I can't tell you the amount of time I spend on a weekly basis encouraging people to stop focusing on all the "woe is me" feels and instead focus on realizing their struggles and overcoming them to meet their goals.
You may feel unqualified to work from home and get down in the dumps about it — but instead of sitting there upset about it, start thinking about how you can fix that problem you're sad about.
Sad you don't have the skills people would want to pay you for? Start looking for ways you CAN get skills people will pay you for!
Sad you're not getting clients? Start finding other ways to market yourself or refine the techniques you're already using!
Sad you don't have enough time to on any of the projects you want to? Start making ways you can carve out even 30 minutes to work on a goal.
Get the point? Instead of poking our toes in the mud and refusing to look up at the sunshine, start figuring out ways to overcome your challenges and meet your goals.
After all, would a goal be a goal if you didn't have to work some to get there?
5. Spend time with like-minded people.
One of the best ways to not feel sorry for yourself and to get yourself motivated is to hang around fellow work-from-home people!
We are a compilation of those we spend the most time around. So if you make a point to surround yourself with people who have similar goals as you, you will always be encouraged and motivated to keep working on your goals.
You can be encouraged by seeing others who are at the same point in their careers as you are and know you aren't alone! And you can be super motivated by seeing others who have grown their businesses and are successful!
You can brainstorm and bounce ideas around with each other. Encourage each other. Support each other. Recommend each other to others.
It's an awesome feeling to be surrounded by other work-from-home people and know we aren't alone!
Good ways to find others is to join work-from-home Facebook groups. Facebook has hundreds of thousands of groups, all different sizes and emphases, so you can be pretty sure you'll find one that you're looking for.
If you're wanting to get out of the house some and interact in person, you definitely want to see if you can find local meetups. Check Facebook Groups, the NextDoor app, or Meetup to see if there are any local groups already organized in your area. And if not, consider creating one yourself!
6. Focus on your priority for the day.
I'm a huge fan of having a tasklist for each day — and not just because I love checking things off for a sense of accomplishment. It's because a tasklist allows you to take your goals and outline them into actionable tasks you need to do each day to make your daily goal happen.
You can just have a tasklist with what you need to do, or you can even break it down into time blocks, and work on each task at the time you've slotted for it.
While you're making your tasklist for the day, think about what your one or two major priorities for the day is. If nothing else where to get done but you still got those one or two items checked off your list, you would know you had spent your day well.
They don't have to be huge priorities either. It can be something as simple as 1) contacting two potential clients and 2) getting to bed by 10:00.
Then when you're making your schedule for the day, you plan everything around those two priorities. Of course, you work hard to make sure everything else on your tasklist gets done! But if something comes up during the day or you just start feeling rundown and tired, you at least got your priorities done.
Then you can still consider that day a success. And that feels pretty amazing.
7. Reassess your priorities.
If you're like me, you're probably a little type A. You fill your daily task lists up because you have a million things to do and you want to be (and feel!) productive. Sometimes your one or two priorities you pick for the day end up being some pretty big, time-consuming, brain-encompassing tasks. And you want to finish it alllllll.
Or sometimes your one or two priorities for the day start becoming four or five…or seven. And before you know it, you're back in the same boat of everything's a priority and you're barely keeping your head above water.
If that starts happening. Or if your one or two priorities you've picking for your days start being too much, it's time to reassess your priorities. Honestly think about how long they will take or how much brain power you will need to invest to get them done.
And then reschedule so you can be sure to get them done during the day.
8. Step away for 15 to 20 minutes (or more!).
Sometimes we're so stressed about everything we have to do that even when our eyes start to cross or we're getting a migraine, we still don't let ourselves take a break. And then we start making crazy typos and the sentences we're writing don't even make sense. Or you've had to reread the same paragraph a dozen times…and still can't figure out what it's trying to say.
Step away for 15, 20 minutes.
If you're getting to the point where you can't concentrate properly, you need a break. You're actually wasting more time having to redo everything you're working on, or you're working far more slowly than you usually would just because you're tired. So step away!
Give your eyes a break from staring at the screen, and your brain a break from having to process. Go for a walk, do the dishes, throw in a load from your unending laundry pile — something that makes you feel productive but doesn't require you to focus.
Or if you're someone who can take a power nap, set a timer and close your eyes! You'll wake up, able to concentrate so much better.
If you're feeling out of energy, it's okay to step away for a morning or afternoon. It really is! If it helps you come back ready to go, focused and energized, then it's going to be so worth the extra time you took.
While it may seem like you're taking away from work time, you're actually saving yourself time by allowing yourself to work more efficiently when you get back. And you won't feel so overwhelmed or frustrated either.
9. Download my (free) guide, 27 ways to get things done, even when you're swamped.
Not to brag or anything, but it's pretty helpful! : ) Plus it's completely free — click here to download it!
It's packed with ways to help you stay focused and, well, get stuff done! Sometimes we get unmotivated just because we're so overwhelmed with everything we have to do — and we freeze up. So implementing these ideas can help you start knocking your tasklist out.
10. Look at your why.
Determining your why is the very first thing I talk about inside Ditching the Water Cooler. Because it's the foundation to your business. It's what gives you direction and motivation from the very start…all the way through to a booming, successful business.
You have to know why you're doing what you're doing. Otherwise it can become pointless.
And when you're
- tired and unmotivated.
- wanting to give up and go back to your 9-to-5.
- thinking you're never going to make this work. (The list of things we say when we're exhausted and ready to give up goes on and on…)
You need to look back at your why. And remember, YEP, this is why I'm doing this. This is why it's worth it. And this is why I can't give up.
Why do you want to work from home?
- To be with your kids as they're growing up and not miss any of the important milestones you would if you had to work 40+ hours a week
- To get out of debt
- Have extra spending money for vacations or a new car or a nicer house
- Not worry about living paycheck to paycheck
- Take care of an ill relative
- Not worry about having to rely on a disability check
- Never having a cap on your income
- Freedom to work whenever, wherever you want
- Never having to worry about a dress code again
- Not having to pay for gas and waste time on stressful commutes
The list can go on and on with all the reasons people choose to work from home!
What's your why?
Think about it! And then write it down and keep it where you'll see it often. To remind you, when you're frustrated and tired…why you're doing what you're doing.
And then, whatever you do, don't give up.
You decided on your why for a reason. Because it's important to you. Because it's worth working for. And it's worth not giving up on.
That doesn't mean push yourself until you're ready to give up. And it doesn't mean consoling yourself that giving up is okay because you're just tired.
What it does mean is you take a balanced approach. Give yourself room to breath. Give yourself grace on the days when you are having a harder time. Think through your priorities, rework them if you have to. Talk about your goals. Remember your why.
And then take a deep breath and know…
…you've got this!
I want to hear from you!
Which of these 10 ways are you going to try to make your goals happen, even when you're having a bad day?
Do you have other tips you use to get yourself motivated to work on your work-from-home goals?

Presidential Election?
Can any of these democratic candidate defeat Donald trump? Thanks.

Harris, no-one will listen to me or believe me, but Buttigieg could. And he would be good. It would knock the sox off the Republicans worse than when Obama was elected. Pete is an intelligent, thoughtful and soft-spoken man, and would have many intelligent and intelligible things to say had he the nomination. Opposing a demagogue so conceited that he thinks a president should be allowed to rule unhampered by all of this Constitution bull, showing with what insincerity he took his oath of office, and demanding personal loyalty to himself like a dictator. Pete Buttigieg would win the popular vote and Trump would have to coerce the tiny Electoral College again into overriding the decision of the American people.

We're still early in the election but as of now the polls all show that all of the Democrats would beat Donald Trump. I know that Trump supporters like to disregard the polls but they shouldn't for two reasons. First, the national level polls were pretty accurate in 2016. The final batch had Clinton beating Trump by about 2%, which is about what she beat him by in the popular vote. The idea that the polls were wrong is based on the fact that some of the state level polls were wrong and the national level polls were unable to predict that Trump's geographic distribution of support would allow him to win the electoral college while losing the popular vote. The other reason that Trump supporters, and others, shouldn't dismiss these polls is because they're all saying the same thing. In 2016, Trump supporters dismissed repeated polling showing that Trump was unpopular by claiming that these were all "biased" polls which were being put out with inaccurate numbers in order to harm the Trump campaing/boost Clinton's campaign. But you can't make that argument in this case, because a couple weeks ago someone leaked internal Trump campaign polls. The campaign confirmed that the leak was real. What's significant is that the internal Trump polls confirmed the public polls' conclusion that Trump would lose to just about all the Democrats. Significantly, they even offered similar margins of victory for the various democrats (most notably that Joe Biden would beat Trump by around 10 points). These are polls which Trumps people conducted for internal campaign use and so there's no reason for them to massage the results to favor Democrats. That suggests that the public polls are accurate.

Currently a Rumba that only vacuums in circles is a head of Trump. A toaster that only burns toast to a crisp is just behind Trump.

Considering that he was not elected by a majority, many of them could win the popular vote,
but, that does not win elections in the US as we saw in 2016.

[[ Free Prime ]] In Love Again and AlwaysAuthor Carol Lynn Pearson – Sharkmotorcyclehelmets.co.uk
10 thoughts on "In Love Again and Always"
This is such a good little book of love poems I really like Carol Lynn Pearson, and this collection is one of my favorites.My favorite poems from the book are EmbraceFilledSeeing You Seeing MeThe SignalOccupiedHomeCould I SleepTo the Sound of the RainFinal ComfortSo many of these poems seem to describe exactly how I feel about Dave THAT is good poetry I will share the words to just three of them Filled My life was a jar,Packed with pebblesTo the top.I didn t knowThere were spacesUntil you filled them.Like sand filteringThe empty placesFull,You are there betweenAnd around every thought,Every motion.There is no momentThat is notHeavy with you somehow.I am pressed,Pressed.Even breathingIs not easy now The Signal In case of crowdsOr other mufflingCircumstances,I ve designed a signThat should get through If you notice meBreathing,That will signalI love you Could I Sleep Could I sleepIf I slept with you Could I forgetThe fact of your skinWithin touching distanceLong enough to let go Lovers do sleep,I know.I ve seen it in the movies.But just now,Riveted awake merelyBy the thought of you,I can t imagine how.
I don t normally pick up poetry books I don t mind poetry, I just don t generally read it and when I do, I typically go for the well known greats ex Dickinson, Frost, etc So, it was on a random whim that I picked up several poetry books by Carol Lynn Pearson at the library I had heard several people mention her within a few weeks and I was intrigued by her story Look it up on Wikipedia This was the first book I started reading and I was hooked from the first page Simply Beautiful I don t know how else to describe it I love them I immediately bought this book and I think I ll have to buy her others This is my favorite poem from this collection Seeing You Seeing Me Seeing you seeing meTook my breath away.I never knewThere were Grand CanyonsIn me,And Mona LisasAnd Sistine ChapelsAnd the Alps Until that look,That amazed, amazing look,Crossed your tourist faceAnd I became the newestWonder of the world.
In Love Again and Always is an endearing collection of charming love poems with cleverly composed elements The poems inspire the heart fluttering recollection of why I fell in the love in the first place.
I couldn t help smiling while reading many of these poems A number of the sentiments in her writing are entirely accurate, at least in my particular case D
I love these Going to read this one again.

These baked eggs make a lovely weekend breakfast, and they are really versatile. I made these with some chopped leeks, but you can leave them out, or use some chopped chives or spring onions instead. The cooking time will vary depending on the size and shape of your ramekins, so keep an eye on the eggs after 10 minutes in the oven.
Makes one ramekin
2 eggs
1 tbsp chopped sauteed leeks
1 tbsp creme fraiche
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp extra thick double cream
25 g cheese (any type), grated/cubed/crumbled
Salt & pepper
Pre-heat the oven to 170°C (fan).
Sautee the chopped leeks (if using) in some butter until soft. Build up the ramekins in layers – first the butter, then the creme fraiche, then the leeks, some seasoning, then the eggs, and top with the cream and cheese.
Bake in the oven for 10 – 15 minutes, or until the egg yolks are cooked to your desired consistency (note, the whites will remain fairly runny). The yolks do tend to turn pretty quickly so check them frequently.

40 teams brave weather in annual Cardboard Boat Race
Despite cold, rainy weather, more than 200 people gathered around Rose Pond Saturday, Oct. 14 to watch engineering students race for the annual Homecoming Cardboard Boat Races.
The 20th anniversary of the event, the races are meant to be a way for engineering students to show off their talents, as well as entertain an audience of students and alumni.
Friends, family, alumni and students lined up on the sides of the pond as the race was about to begin. Engineering students taking part in the race began shedding clothes, knowing there is a possibility they could sink.
"The students did an extremely good job this year, especially because of the weather conditions," said engineering faculty member and race coordinator Brian DeJong.
In total, more than 40 teams competed in the event. The race was set into a five-boat interval. Each interval, the students put their select three participants in the boat, raced from the north end of the pond, exited the pond and ran to the canal. Then, three people got in the boat entering the south side of the pond and race around the statue.
Every group's boat was designed differently but competitively. Most of the students used a design that allowed the boats to stay afloat, but others did not have the same luck. Out of the five boats racing at a time, at least one or two boats did not even make it off the shore.
The crowd shouted, cheered and laughed as the students sank their boats.
"(The race) is why I come out," said Terra Roberts, a mother of one of the students in the race. "It's just fun and different, and I always have a good time."
The weather did not stop Fire Up Ships, the team that came in first place this year with a time of six minutes, 46 seconds. They are now on the record as the 25th fastest time in the event's history; the fastest time recorded was four minutes 58 seconds, set in 2010 by the team ASME.
"It was a lot of fun and a lot of work, but it was all worth it because we were one of the first groups to finish the course, and we won the race," said Brooke Friedman, a member of the winning team Fire Up Ships.

ALBANY –- It may not be the most glamorous job in the Capitol, but Brian M. Kolb still wants it.
Mr. Kolb, a Republican assemblyman from Canandaigua, N.Y., was elected by his colleagues on Monday as the new minority leader of the State Assembly, and pledged to bring a higher level of visibility to the position.
He replaces James N. Tedisco, who announced on Friday that he was stepping aside to focus on a possible transition to the United States House of Representatives. Mr. Tedisco, who may not have had much of a choice in the matter, is separated from his Democratic opponent, Scott Murphy, by just a handful of votes in the election to fill the vacant seat in the 20th Congressional district.
With the absentee ballots still out and legal proceedings continuing, it may not be known for weeks whether Mr. Tedisco or Mr. Murphy is the next congressman for the district, which wraps around Albany and extends to the Adirondacks.
Regardless of the uncertainty surrounding Mr. Tedisco's future, Mr. Kolb sounded almost as certain that the outgoing minority leader would move on to Congress — almost as certain as Mr. Tedisco sounded on Friday.
"I want to really, sincerely thank Jim for all his tireless efforts on behalf of our conference and his dedication to public service for the last 27 years," Mr. Kolb said at a press conference at the Capitol on Monday afternoon. "Jim, you've done a great job. And you'll continue to do a great job."
Mr. Tedisco received a round of applause from his fellow Republicans. He stood off to the side of the room, barely visible behind a few of his colleagues, and acknowledged Mr. Kolb's gratitude with a smile and a nod.
The Assembly Republicans, who hold 41 seats compared with the Democrats' 109, have had problems receiving attention and resources for their causes in recent years as their numbers have shrunk. Mr. Kolb said he was determined to heighten the Republican Party's visibility in Albany.
"We've got to get the word out to the people at home that the members of this conference are standing up and speaking out on their behalf," Mr. Kolb said. "We will do everything we can to ratchet up the debate. We're going to take our case to the people."

On i'm: Giving Easily
The new "i'm" program that the Live team is running is truly clever. Beyond clever: it's brilliant. Every statistic I've seen indicates that most people don't contribute to charity for one reason or another -- maybe they don't have the disposable income, or to do so is too hard from a logistics standpoint, or they just never thought they could make a difference. The i'm program makes it dead-simple to do: just do what you do anyway.

PhD - Leuven | More than two weeks ago
Develop the next-generation wearable digital stethoscope.
Body sounds are one of the oldest physiological parameters known to be used in diagnostics. Even today the stereotypical image of a physician is one of a person with a stethoscope around the neck. Indeed body sounds are still today a very important parameters that can relay a lot of disease information. Heart rate and abnormal respiration patterns are clear and well known examples. However today body sounds are still primarily recorded via (digitally amplified) stethoscopes and analysis is done by the physician. A clear trend in healthcare is towards more and more remote and automatic monitoring. A lot of effort has been spent already on miniaturizing and automating bio-potential recording (for example electro-cardiogram or ECG). However, very little research effort has been conducted towards this goal on body sounds. On the other hand, the rapid advancements in machine learning have enables a whole range of innovations for speech recognition. Technological advancements in low-power, low-cost integrated electronics as well as artificial intelligence have paved the way for ultra-low-power always-on speech recognition processors that can detect a few words at uW power levels.
In this PhD, we will explore the possibility to apply similar strategies to detect abnormal respiration patterns in recorded body sounds to classify for example certain specific respiratory diseases. The scientific hypothesis is that certain analysis of body sounds can be considered as a pattern recognition and classification problem, conceptually similar to speech recognition. The candidate will be asked to first explore suitable algorithms. This will also require investigation into miniaturized recording of body sounds in a wearable form factor since it is to be expected that the recordings will be of significantly lower quality (ambient noise pickup, artifacts from motion, ...) than high-fidelity audio recordings with a digital stethoscope. The candidate will use these learnings combined with high-quality recordings from publicly available databases to develop as suitable large database. This database will then be used to develop and validate machine-learning algorithms. Finally the candidate will develop an ultra-low-power body-sounds processor in an ASIC and will validate the work in an experimental setting. The algorithms and processor will be co-optimized to come to the most efficient end-to-end system solution.

Type of work: machine learning based algorithm development (40%), digital IC design implementation (40%), testing and validation (20%)

Linnea Bennett is a junior at Arizona State University studying journalism and political science. She is an intern with NGC this fall.
In March of 2011, protests broke out in Syria in response to the oppressive rule of President Bashar al-Assad. The protests led to fighting and the formation of a rebel army, followed by two years of intense violence and bloodshed. Syria's civil war remains on-going as more of the country becomes engulfed in the conflict.
On this year's World Humanitarian Day, my thoughts cannot help returning to a group of students at my home university, Arizona State University. These students have worked tirelessly in the last year to bring awareness to a situation that touches their lives very closely, despite the fact that it seems worlds away from most of their peers.
The students are a part of a group called Save our Syrian Freedom. Many of the club's officers and members were either born in or have much of their family living in war-torn Syria. While these young activists may live in a nation of prosperity, their hearts stay with a country ravaged by violence.
I've watched the members of SOS Freedom raise money, paint signs, stage silent protests, hold vigils and do everything they can to spread the word about the violence and crimes their country has faced. They never stop working, even when few of their fellow students seem to care, even when the media won't pay attention.
These students remind me why it is so important to be a global citizen. They have taught me to think of global issues not as textbook conflicts, but as events and problems that are affecting mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, cousins and friends.
The world will always need more passionate, young activists like the SOS Freedom students, and I hope they continue their fight to educate our society on their country's plight.
Cheers to SOS Freedom and the many world humanitarians on this special day.

David Pibworth | The Blog
I had a phenomenal response to my original blog post about the Arches Theatre. I've been putting my thinking cap on regarding keeping people informed on the new venue ...
It may not look like much right now, but I believe the Arches Theatre could really work.
Our plans are now to clear the site before the end of this year and because of that, I'm having a year off from panto. I've done a pantomime for 6 or 7 years on the trot, so a Christmas at home with the family is another bonus.
"There will be a lot of expenses to get it up and running, so I'm looking at a way to raise money for it."
We're not looking for arts funding or anything like that as I think it can be a self-sufficient venue if we provide the right entertainment, and I think local people will support it.
It's likely that the first season (Aug/Sept 2018) will be a short season with productions by MK Theatre of Comedy, ETC Theatre Company, and my pal Amy Marchant with her company The Wet Mariners who are - in no small measure - responsible for this project.
I've got an idea for an opening concert as well. All will be decided once we clear the area and see what can be done exactly with it. See my blog post from 3 weeks ago for details of the venue.
So at present, we're asking for anyone who wants to support the Arches Theatre to contact me and I will start a specific mailing list giving updates and details of sponsorship possibilities.
For all those who have already been in touch, sorry about the delay in getting back to you, but you are already in the loop and are on our list.
I've dusted down the Aston Martin DB2 and any of the shows I take it to will now be helping fund the Arches Theatre as I'm donating any fees for it to the cause, so get in contact if you want it at the front of your stand.
I'll be at the Kop Hill Climb at Princess Risborough this weekend with the Michael Graham stand, so hopefully I'll see some of you there.
Also, the talks I do on the History of British SitCom will now have the fee donated to the fund, so if you want to hear all the gossip about Tony Hancock up to Fawlty Towers for your group, then give me a call. It's a very popular talk, and I'll even throw the Tommy Cooper Bottle Routine in at the end.
"Gosh, what a tart I am."
There's a great deal of work to be done and we need to bring some cash in! If you'd like to support the Arches Theatre, then do give me a call on 01234 241357 or click here to ping me an email and let's talk.
Until next time ...

PodCast on Small Businees & WOM
In other news: I working on an e-book of my presentation. I posted my slides, but the slides don't really tell much of a story. I'm up to Commandment #3. I'll (of course) post it up when it's all done.
Gary Stein's blog on how technology is disrupting marketing, media, and advertising.
As I mentioned on the phone, I enjoyed doing the cast with you and also enjoyed the presentation at WOMMA. I look forward to the book. You have some great ideas about how to help Small Companies create a Big Image using Word of Mouth.
Thanks again for the cast.
Jim Butz
my pleasure! Any time at all.
I heard about your presentation. A friend of mine, who always interests such events, likes and appreciates your ideas so much. He promised to give me your book when he reads it himself.
i have read your post its very interesting and attractive. i am very impressed. thanks for sharing it
