Want to be more productive but have no idea how to start short of hiring an assistant? Today I want to share how tracking my work time is helping me to get more done & in less time!
I've been using the program Harvest and am only using their free plan as I don't need the paid features.
To keep it super simple, I set up two projects "Fitness" and "Office Work" under each project I set up all my general tasks. So under fitness, I have things like all the types of classes I teach, program and class development, etc. Then in office work, I have everything else – email, social media scheduling, writing, accounting, video, photography, etc.
Whenever I start a task I start a timer in Harvest to record how long I spend on that task and so on. I'll admit, I'm not perfect about recording. There are an embarrassing amount of "misc" entries due to me not wanting to start and stop the timer when I'm doing a bunch of 2-3 minute jobs all at once, and sometimes I have to guess after the fact how long I spent on something, but overall I've found it to be so helpful!
While you aren't all freelancers or self-employed folks but I think there is something to be said for everyone trying to implement a bit more productivity in their day. I really find this is helping me stay on on task a bit better than I do on my own, and it gives me peace of mind at the end of the day knowing that I can easily see how long I worked and what I worked on.
Take time to watch the video and find out all the ways it is helping me!

Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York, who coaxed legislators into allowing same-sex marriage two years ago, has challenged them to broaden and strengthen the rights of women, including abortion rights. Should he persuade the Legislature to go along, he would stand in striking contrast to Republican governors across the country who are doing just the opposite.
A bill he proposed last week would provide assurance that abortions would remain safe and legal in New York even if the United States Supreme Court strikes down Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision establishing the right to an abortion. Yet with only two weeks left in New York's official legislative session, the excuses about why the Women's Equality Act cannot be passed are already flying.
The Senate's coalition leadership is working to keep the abortion rights section of the bill from reaching the floor. That is pure legislative cowardice; polls show that even in Republican areas almost two-thirds of women want the option to choose a safe and legal abortion, but the leaders apparently don't want to risk making anyone unhappy.
Mr. Cuomo has been taking his message around the state. At a meeting last Wednesday in Poughkeepsie, he struck a note of outrage before a cheering crowd. "The truth," he said, "is we discriminate against women in society in this state and in this country, and it is pervasive, and we haven't admitted it, and it goes on every day, and it's a shame, and it's wrong, and it's immoral, and it's unethical, and it has to stop, and it's going to stop in the state of New York, and then it's going to stop everywhere."
His bill would strengthen wage protections, prohibit employers from discriminating against women with children, and provide more safeguards from housing discrimination for victims of domestic violence or female heads of household on welfare. It would increase penalties for human trafficking and expand the state's sexual harassment law to include all workplaces.
But the Senate's Republican leader, Dean Skelos, says he will not allow the abortion section of the bill to come to the floor, even though some Republican senators would almost certainly support it. And Jeffrey Klein, the Democrat who shares the leadership of the Senate, has insisted that while he supports abortion rights, he also could carve out that section before a floor vote.
The full bill deserves the support of every lawmaker who is ready to do more than talk about equal rights and increased protections for women.

Successful completion of a deferred sentence allows a person convicted of a criminal felony offense to own guns, the New Mexico Supreme Court said in a case decided Thursday.
"I think it has broad significance for New Mexico on both the federal and state sides," said attorney and former state Supreme Court Justice Paul Kennedy, who represents James Oliver Reese in the case decided Thursday. "It really clarifies the law for people in this position and clarifies that these people cannot be prosecuted anymore."
A deferred sentence requires someone to complete certain conditions, like probation, after which the conviction will be dismissed.
The opinion by Justice Richard C. Bosson for a unanimous court said the state Legislature set up deferred sentences as a way to offer clemency. As a result, a defendant who satisfies the conditions of deferment has criminal charges dismissed, "automatically restor(ing) a convicted felon's civil rights by operation of law."
Federal and state statutes are deeply intertwined in the area of gun ownership, with federal law saying a person "convicted in any court" of a felony may not possess a firearm.
The question in Reese's case was whether he was a felon.
Reese, in 1992, entered a no contest plea in 2nd District Court in Bernalillo County to a single felony of tampering with evidence. The district court deferred sentencing and placed him on probation for 18 months. He completed the terms of his probation, and the charge was dismissed.
More than a decade later, amid what the court called "a maelstrom of domestic strife" involving current and former wives and a girlfriend, U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agents obtained warrants to search his home in Milan, N.M. They took over 30 firearms and ammunition and charged him in a 24-count federal indictment related to the procurement of firearms and his prior felony conviction.
Reese contended he didn't have a prior felony because it had been dismissed, but he entered a conditional plea to a single charge while reserving his right to take the case to the next level – the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver.
The 10th Circuit said that to decide Reese's case, it needed to know how the state Supreme Court interpreted New Mexico law, and that the New Mexico court's decision would decide the case.
The federal court asked the question: If a defendant completes a deferred sentence for a felony, are the individual's rights automatically restored without a pardon or certificate from the governor?
The Supreme Court said yes.
Kennedy said he believes the Reese opinion will mean fewer prosecutions by the U.S. Attorney's Office of people charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm, though clearly not all prosecutions involve defendants with deferred sentences.
The U.S. Attorney's Office was not available for comment.
"The other impact is people who have completed (a deferred sentence) can go get a gun," Kennedy said. Before the opinion, he said, even if they'd been cleared they couldn't buy a firearm because they were unable to meet federal clearances.
Steve McCue, the federal public defender for New Mexico, agreed the case could have an impact, though he could not estimate how many felon-in-possession cases his office has handled that might be affected by the ruling.
"It is difficult," he said, "because federal and state law both apply in this area."
Ironically, Kennedy noted, Reese joined the U.S. Navy after finishing his probation. The Navy deployed him to the Persian Gulf on a destroyer in charge of missiles – only to return to New Mexico and be told he could not own or possess firearms.

Goderich Mayor John Grace says some careful consideration will need to be taken on the future of the town's Memorial Arena.
The ice was removed from Memorial last September, after an engineer's report found serious issues with the pipes that carry ammonia-based refrigerant under the arena floor.
Grace says the arena has been the centre of the community for 70 years, and was where townspeople met to discuss the town's future following a EF-3 tornado in August of 2011.
For fifteen years, Goderich has been home to two ice surfaces, following the completion of the Maitland Recreation Centre, on Suncoast Drive.
Grace tells Country 104.9 News the town will need to conduct a market impact study, to understand what the town's long term needs are.
The Mayor says there will be some residents unhappy with the choice made by elected officials, whatever that may be.
A draft document compiled by staff will be brought before Goderich Council shortly, in advance of a public meeting on Memorial Arena's future.

TP needs some updating. It is not very intuitive for new users. Instructions are hard to follow at times. Support response is in need of someone's dedication. Having individual paints is a real attraction within iRacing. This needs to be done better or replaced! Interesting that without member support there would be no answers or help. It's a shame, the program is so popular not to have good management.

I plan on taking this advice. Great page!

A third person has been arrested in connection with the September death of a woman shot in the face while driving near Turner Field.
Jamal Ward, 20, was arrested early Thursday at the Blue Ivory Lounge on Whitehall Street, Atlanta police spokesman Warren Pickard told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Tiara Bogan, 25, was shot and killed shortly before 1 a.m. Sept. 26 near the intersection of Milton Avenue and Hank Aaron Drive in southeast Atlanta.
Officers found her overturned SUV in the roadway and multiple shell casings in the area. Police said the fatal shots were fired from a second vehicle.
On Nov. 6, the Atlanta police Fugitive Unit arrested Kelvin Watts, 26, and Bobby Hardy, 21, and charged them with murder, aggravated assault and aggravated battery.
Pickard said early Thursday, the Fugitive Unit got a tip that Ward was at the Blue Ivory, and contacted an investigator who was at the time working an extra job at the lounge.
Ward was taken into custody without incident and booked into the Fulton County Jail, charged with murder and aggravated assault with intent to murder.
According to jail records, Ward was arrested in February on charges of aggravated assault with intent to rape, aggravated sodomy, aggravated child molestation, false imprisonment, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony and statutory rape. He was released from jail in mid-August.

Reuters has released an article on a study of new births in Washington state that showed pregnant women on SSRI antidepressants and benzodiazepines are at a much greater risk for delivering prematurely. This study was published in the December '09 issue of the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology.
Regarding the risk on SSRI antidepressants this study found the following:
Compared with their counterparts not on the medications, these women were nearly five times more likely to deliver prematurely.
Doctors and mental health professions playing up the idea of postpartum depression for the sake of mental health screening would play down these statistics that are, of course, distressing.
Any risks of using the medications during pregnancy need to be balanced against the risks of leaving depression and anxiety disorders untreated.
When this matter of delivering an unhealthy baby is weighed against having a depressed mom, maybe we should go with the depressed mom. The Andrea Yates case, even for moms in the dumps, was the exception rather than the rule.
I want to emphasize that most blue moms don't kill their kids. Moms who kill their kids have crossed that line between illness and criminality, and sympathy for such moms must be tempered with an understanding of the seriousness of the offense.
If you've got a mom to be who's just really nervous, I suggest you reassure her, and skip the pills.
The information on benzodiazepines was even more disturbing.
Among women who were not on any medication, 9 percent gave birth prematurely, versus nearly half of women on benzodiazepines.
The study also showed that more babies from mothers using either drugs had birth defects associated with premature delivery.

Raphael is a mutant alligator snapping turtle, the oldest and strongest of the Ninja Turtles. His weapons are a pair of tonfa. He thinks he can use his fists to get himself out of any situation. But while Raph's muscles are bigger than his brain, his heart is bigger than his muscles.
Physical Appearance Edit
Raphael is large and muscular, with bright green skin, a yellow-orange plastron with a jagged top edge and a spiked dark green carapace. He also has small spikes protruding from his shoulders, black eyes, a small sharp tooth hanging from his upper right jaw, three fingers on each hand and two toes on each foot. His physical profile is similar to various versions of Slash, most versions of whom are also snapping turtles.
Raph wears a red mask that covers the top of his head (with long jagged mask tails about the same length as Leo's), red elbow pads with a large spike at the joint, off-white bandages around his wrists, hands and ankles, and small bandages on his right side of his plastron and left forearm. He also wears red boxer-briefs and a red belt with a Turtle emblem.
Personality Edit
Raph has a boisterous and brash but outgoing and fun-loving personality. Raph is very much overconfident and tends to never think things through often acting on instinct. He shows his true heroic colors when crime fighting and seems to enjoy it. despite this, Raph truly is a softie at heart. He finds it very difficult to be unfriendly to people, especially his brothers. An example of this would be when, he didn't want to make Donnie upset about not liking his gifts. Raph does and will argue with his brothers from time to time mostly when he feels he is in the right. Raph also appears to have a soft spot for animals, as shown in "Mystic Mayhem", when he saw Mayhem lost and scared on a construction site. He also seem to be an extreme eater, as shown in Origami Tsunami when he ate a large amount of the salami (including the salami ninja). He has also shown to get anxiety when other put pressure on him and more anxiety when he thinks about his anxiety. However, like his previous incanations, Raph has an explosive temper that's set off when his brothers teasing gets out of control, people make fun of him, or people he cares about are hurt.

- "Seriously Han. I'd like a milk."
- ―Luke Skywalker, to Han Solo
Milk was a nutritious liquid produced and secreted by the females of certain species. While milk was typically white,[5] the one produced by bantha cows was blue,[3] and the one produced by Thala-siren sea sows was green.[6] Other species that secreted milk included the whilks,[7] the moofs,[8] the nerfs,[9] and the falumpasets.[10] The term "milk" was also used to describe any similar fluid in plants, such as the juice of a black melon.[11]
Some intelligent species would farm non-sentient creatures to extract their milk and use it as food.[9] When left standing for a while, milk would turn sour.[7] However, to prevent spoilage, it could be stored in cool places, just like meat.[12] Milk was the basis of various preparations that included ice cream, yogurt, and butter.[3] Tooka were known to enjoy milk.[2]

What's Available With Parkwood Homes In Stapleton?
Parkwood Homes has been selling really well but they do have a handful of lots in Stapleton and this quick post will give you a snapshot of what's available at the moment. (If you aren't familiar with what Parkwood builds you may want to click here first)
Parkwood currently has 8 residential lots that are available in their detached single family homes series, called the Shenandoah Collection. All of the lots, which are about 6,500 sf to 8,000 sf (great yards!) are North of I-70 in the Conservatory Green area of Stapleton. It varies by lot, but at this point you could build any of their current floor plans on at least one of these lots. (Wanna check out pictures of some of their plans – check out our Parkwood Homes Pinterest Board!) As the lots get purchased your options will become limited because Forest City (Stapleton's master developer) rightfully does not allow the same model to be built next to each other.
These lots are available to purchase right now, they would start this summer and Parkwood takes 11-12 months so they would be ready for move in next summer. So it sounds crazy but if you want to move in a new Parkwood by Summer 2015 now is the time to start!
I have maps with locations if you need more detail about where these lots are located.
So what else is new with Parkwood? Their prices have been increasing, similar to the market in general, so their end prices are in the $600k's – high $700k's depending on the plan, location and finishes you select. Their "Asheville" plan, which is the one with the very open main floor layout, has been selling like hotcakes. It's gone so well in fact that they are creating a new floor plan almost identical to it but just a touch smaller to get the price range down a bit. (This is not on the market yet but let me know if you want the tentative plans).
Last but not least, Parkwood is going to be done with their Beacon Hill town home models in Stapleton by May and these town homes are available now! For more info on that series click here.
That's the quick update on Parkwood at this point, if I can be of service as a Realtor in the area for new or resale please let me know!

When thirteen-year-old Harry Fieldstone and his friends start a Poets' Club at school, they don't expect they'll be involved in anything more complicated than limericks and rhyming barbs directed towards one another. But then Harry stumbles across something unexpected - a ring. And it's not just any ring. He quickly discovers that the ring gives him a different power each day. Telekinesis one day, invisibility another . And suddenly, he and the Poets' Club are wrapped up in a centuries-old mystery.
With the help of a university professor, Harry and the gang learn that the ring can be traced to ancient Rome. But protecting the artifact won't be easy: a centuries-old organization known as the Toga Gang is determined to get a hold of the ring, and they have the Poets' Club in their sights.
Attack of the Toga Gang is a hilarious middle-grade novel by a Canadian literary treasure.

NASA is always up to working on to create conditions on other planets and moon for human survival other than the planet Earth. They send in stuff to space such as Salt, Silica, water and carbon-containing compounds. These ingredients are essential to life.
On Saturn's small moon which is called Enceladus, NASA is currently working on a dead spacecraft. They have found the most complex heavy organic compounds ever, which contain numerous atoms which are arranged in chains and rings. These heavy organic compounds make life sustainable on moon beyond the earth.
Enceladus | NASA
A scientist from Cornell University named Jonathan Lunine says, "What we know today is telling us that Enceladus is an outstanding target to go look for life, and there may be microbes living in that ocean today".
In 2005, a Cassini spacecraft went to explore Saturn and found out icy jets venting from Enceladus. These jets contained water which was underneath the moon's icy shell. Scientists studied these jets and found out about their Salinity, acidity, heat energy and were also able to recognize compounds such as Methane.
Illustration Cassini spacecraft| Wikipedia
However, the scientists are still not sure whether these compounds are an emblem of existence of aliens or they are just unresponsive chemistry, as the author of journal Nature, Frank Postberg of the University of Heidelberg says, "We cannot decide this hundred-million-dollar question, but it certainly shows that something is going on there, that complex organic chemistry is happening and that we can prove it from space, The moon freely delivers its organic inventory at high concentrations to the Cassini spacecraft. That's just an amazing finding".
Saturn | NASA
Last September Cassini jumped into a ringed planet which contains data to be explored. Cassini moved towards the ring and collected some data by colliding with its particles. From 2004 to 2008, Postberg and his team studied the data from the E ring. They collected and examined approximately 10 thousand dust particles over the course of 15 separate intervals. 1% of those 10 thousand dust particles, were acknowledged as complex organic compounds. "It was kind of a needle in a haystack problem," says Postberg.
The molecules detected are as heavy as 200 atomic mass units. They contain carbon atoms, nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen. This is the first time ever that such weighty organic compounds have been found. Morgan Cable of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory says, "While we have found large molecules outside of Earth before, this is the first time they have been detected emerging from a liquid water ocean…Many large organic molecules are not stable in liquid water for extended periods of time, so one of the next questions to ask is, where are these organic molecules coming from?".
Postman and his team try to answer the question in the following words, "Our oceans have a thin film of organic molecules floating on top—think 'oil slick' but made up of life and its byproducts—that covers the ocean to a significant extent," Cable says. "Now it seems that Enceladus has this too. But is it also made by life?"
Cassini over Enceladus Illustration | NASA
Furthermore, these compounds may not reflect life as Lunine says, "Are they being made by abiotic processing at the bottom of the ocean, where the rock and water meet, or are they the waste products of microbes? That's the question, with a capital Q,"
The findings tell scientists that the icy shell may have properties that support life but this is a complex matter which is yet to be explored much in detail, As Lunine says, "We should try to go back to Enceladus as soon as we can, it's waiting for us. It's not going anywhere, and think of all that microbial poo that could be spewed out into space and analyzed today."
NASA is planning to pause working on Enceladus and send a spacecraft to Europa which orbits Jupiter. Let's see what they will find next. To find out more, stay tuned!
In the meantime, if you want a quick summary here is a great article by the Verge:

Maithripala Sirisena violates the constitution, stands to destroy democracy itself. Liberals, overwhelmingly Sinhalese, are aggrieved, appalled, aghast.
As a minority, I laugh. Not the happy laughter of someone enjoying a good joke. But the bitter, mirthless cackle of someone forced to read this script many times before – like every full moon, when the temple speakers blare its bana and you can't blot out the noise with sleep because the liquor stores are closed.
All postcolonial Sri Lankan heads of government, all of them Sinhalese, have consistently violated the constitution and/or "threatened" democracy – usually by practicing it – and/or oppressed minorities. One could deem it a job requirement….

It's true. We're addicts. And our drug of choice has us hearing things, feeling lightheaded & thinking we're somewhere else. And our fix for right now? The Yeah Yeah Yeahs latest album, It's Blitz. Seriously, Karen O.'s voice can do screaming to sexy without skipping a beat. And, you all know I'm a sucker for strings & synth sounds (well, you do now anyway) – and It's Blitz has them both. The first single, Zero, makes me want to jump around and get all sweaty while drinking a PBR. Then there's Hysteric that makes me smile because I get goose bumps everytime she sings "Flow sweetly hang heavy…you suddenly completely me." We have the deluxe version, so there are a few extra acoustic versions – and they rock. Who am I to say what's good music and what's not, but I'm going to give it a go here – this is good stuff, buy this album!
And, to the few Aussies stopping by here, I'm sorry you'll have to wait a bit longer for this album to be released (Worldwide April 6th).

Ability to export all the data of currently selected event to CSV / JSON
When you've selected a particular event, all of it's data is show in the detail tab. Provide an ability to quickly save this as CSV / JSON from the portal for reference.
Would a URL link and/or an email work for such clients?

Vasiliy Hatunsev commented
Our scenario, we use assembla for tickets, client want to keep all information there. When exception logged to AI need to copy and paste all information to a bug.
Would the link be permanent to this event in azure portal? If no, then vote for csv/json
Thank you
This is also helpful just to get the details to support or other people who may not be able to get to a TFS/VSTS work item. Or, for that matter, don't want to. As a consultant, we often work with clients who are disinclined to have to get into the ALM tool, but may still need some of the event details for one reason or another.
Collaboration is an important scenario for us. This is a great suggestion. Let's keep upvoting it, so we could bump this up in our backlog.

-AI Product Team
@Admin, to my comment earlier, we don't use TFS, but JIRA instead, so VSTS item is out of question for us.
Adding feedback as requested.
We basically create agile tasks for specific exceptions that occur in our application. Since we log a lot of information, it would be great to just download the values of all the default and custom properties of the selected exception to a JSON / CSV, so we can attach it to the item as an attachment and it's easier for the developer to figure out what went wrong. We are currently able to do this for a group of entries by clicking the analytics button, so it solves it to a degree though.
Ari commented
Maybe send an email with the detail?
Ari commented
I have a coworker who asks me to take a look at App Insights because a tester reported some issue. so I find the exception and want to send my coworker the information but have to copy, paste and edit to remove the noise before sending him an email. We do not use VSTS work items. Being able to export the event/exception etc. detail to text or some other means would make this scenario easier.
Can you please explain your scenario, where you need CSV/JSON for a specific event?

October 27th, 2014
Thank you for attending the Parent-Teacher conference this past week. I know that sometimes it can be difficult to carve out time in your schedule but it was so nice to get to chat with each of you for a short while. Please remember, if you ever have any questions or concerns to contact me.
Last week we integrated math, science, and writing into a pumpkin activity. The kids estimated how many seeds were inside the pumpkins, estimated their weights, and learned some interesting new facts about pumpkins. They also began their first creative writing project that involved them recording information while carving the pumpkins and turning the steps they took into a transitional and creative writing piece. These are turning out very nicely and will be shared in the hallway once completed.
This coming week we have a lot of exciting things going on as well! Tuesday is our field trip to the PAC for Schoolhouse Rock Live! We will be leaving the school around 9:15-9:30 to walk downtown and arriving back at school around noon. Thursday is the school carnival from 6:30-8, with the dance continuing on until 8:30pm. Friday will be our classroom Halloween party and celebration of Aden's birthday.
Halloween Party: for our classroom party we will be doing a sensory activity/story, a halloween craft, and enjoying food, chatter, and laughter with each other. I will be sending home a letter requesting that each child bring in a food item to share.
Please no peanuts, tree nuts, or carrots.
Have a great week!
Christine Homan
Important Dates:
October 28th- Schoolhouse Rock Live! field trip, please be at school no later than 9am.
October 30th- Fall Carnival, 6:30-8:30 pm
October 31st- Classroom Halloween Party (Sorry, no costumes.)

How To Rewire Your Brain To Be A More Effective Leader
This week brings the new book, The Mindfulness Edge, a fascinating manual that teaches you how through mindfulness training you can become a better leader.
The science of neuroplasticity shows that you can learn the practice of mindfulness training that results in physical changes to the structure of your brain -- in some cases as quickly as eight weeks -- that can be linked to better leadership skills.
Matt Tenney
Most importantly, intentional mindfulness training helps you to develop self-awareness and mental agility that are the keys to better business acumen and the foundation for developing the emotional and social intelligence that allow you to serve and care for the people on your teams more effectively.
"Mindfulness training also helps leaders to make decisions that have better impacts on gross margins and expenses," explains the book's author Tenney.
Additionally, Tenney shows how mindfulness training also helps you develop the mental agility that allows you to move out of your comfort zone and make decisions that are vastly different from what you would typically do.
Self-awareness impacts nearly every aspect of leadership. And, part of becoming self aware is to become both emotionally and socially self-aware.
Emotional and social intelligence are what close the gap between wanting to serve and care for team members -- and thereby creating a positive emotional climate and a sustainable, high-performance culture -- and actually doing it.
- Emotionally self-aware leaders are able to recognize even their own very subtle emotions, understand why they occur and how they are affecting performance, know their strengths and limits, and be open to feedback to how to improve.
- Socially self-aware leaders listen well and understand the perspectives and emotional states of others.
In addition to reading the book, if you have any questions about the practice of mindfulness, you can reach out to the author at TheMindfulnessEdge.
Tenney is a social entrepreneur and has been teaching mindfulness in various capacities since 2002.
Tim Gard, PhD, who co-authored the book, is affiliated with the Lazar lab for neuroscience of mindfulness research at Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA.
Thanks to the book's publisher for sending me an advance copy of the book.

Trees are truly magnificent lifeforms. They provide us with oxygen, fuel, building material, shade, and beauty. Trees have helped transform our world and are directly responsible for the rise of civilization. But if left alone, these ancient beings can truly redefine what it means to be old. Most of us have seen trees that are a couple of hundred years old. It's romantic to imagine all the historic events that old trees have lived through. The world wars, the founding of America, Columbus' voyage… But we aren't talking about baby trees in this article. We are examining truly ancient giants that have lived through the biggest events in all of human history.
Individual Trees
There are two types of trees on this list. Individual trees and clonal trees. Clonal trees have underground root systems that can live for long periods of time and may propagate numerous trees or even forests that are all connected by one root system. For now, we will count down the oldest individual trees.
Back before the founding of the Roman Empire and before the construction of the Great Wall of China there was a small sequoia growing in the virgin forests of California. There it grew undisturbed for over 2,000 years until it was discovered on August 7, 1879 by a cowboy named James Wolverton who named it after the general he served in the Civil War, General William Tecumseh Sherman. This monumental tree is 274 feet tall, 27 feet wide and is currently the largest tree in the world by volume. The General Sherman is estimated to be between 2,300 – 2,700 years old, an incredible age for a tree but not nearly as old as the other trees on this list.
Believed to be between 4,000 and 5,000 years old, the Sarv-e Abarkuh is a tree that is very well looked after, residing in Abarkuh, Iran. The tree is protected by the Cultural Heritage Organization of Iran. According to legend it was either planted by Zoroaster, an Iranian prophet or Japheth, the son of Noah.
How much older can trees get? Well, If you travel to Inyo National Forest in California you'll find many trees here that are hundreds, even thousands of years older than the General Sherman. The most famous of those trees is Methuselah, a Great Basin bristlecone pine at the tender age of 4,850 years. That means that this tree was germinating around 2832 BCE, that's 250 years before the first stone of the Great Pyramid was slid into place! The location of this ancient tree is kept secret by the United States Forest Service to ensure it's protection, and for good reason. In the 1960s a scientist accidentally cut down a tree that was older than Methuselah, whoopsie!
Clonal Trees
While Methuselah can have the bragging rights for being the oldest individual tree in the world, there are other types of trees that grow a little different. Clonal trees may look young on the surface, but under the ground, they are part of an ancient root system that can spawn multiple trees or even forests of trees. It is these plants that can boast about being the oldest living things on the planet. How old is old? Buckle up.
Discovered on Fulufjallet Mountain in Sweden in 2004, this 16-foot tall Norweigan Spruce might not seem all that impressive with its sparse branches and twisted trunk. If I told you this scrawny tree was older than the General Sherman, would you believe me? Would you believe me if I said it was twice the age of Methuselah? Back when Old Tjikko was sprouting the world was a different place. The harsh cold and barren landscape caused the tree to be stunted, much like a bonsai tree. So how old is this tree? Old Tjikko is estimated at being 9,560 years old. We are talking about a tree that is older than the written word. Back in 7550 B.C when this little spruce was just taking root, the glaciers of the last ice age were still receding and Wooly Mammoths were on the decline. And yet… It is number 2 on the list.
We've finally arrived at number 1 on our list. There are old trees like Methuselah and Old Tjikko and then there's Pando. Pando is a clonal colony of quaking aspens located in south-central Utah. it covers 106 acres and all the trees are connected by one massive ancient root system that is an estimated, mind-boggling 80,000 years old! With an age like that, Pando is one of the oldest living organisms on Earth. 80,000 years! Let's put that into some perspective. That means Pando is older than:
We have to go way back to the Middle Paleolithic era when Pando was sprouting out of the ground. Humans were just reaching Europe. Neanderthals and Wooly Mammoths were still roaming the planet. This is definitely a forest worth visiting and gives a whole new reason to respect trees.
At Gro Lawn we love and respect trees. That's why we offer comprehensive tree and shrub care programs to protect these important investments so that you, your children, your grandchildren, and hopefully many generations after can enjoy them.
Just call (817) 447-7711 for more information or leave us a message on our site.

The new season of Copa America is knocking. So, all the participating team has revealed their selected team squad for the tournament. The South American superpower team Argentine is not behind as well. Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni has released the team squad that consists of 23 players. Now, the question is would Messi win on the ground with the team or not? Now, the key players of the attacking division of team Argentina are Lionel Messi and Sergio Aguero. Argentina fans are looking forward to them.
One and a half decade have passed already. The player who is considered as the perfect successor of Diego Maradona named Lionel Messi has come to an end of his career. But he could not win any international title for Argentina yet. Along with the great forward Lionel Messi, Argentina played four World Cups and four Copa America tournaments but finally returned with the empty hand. Though Messi led Argentina to the three Copa America and a World Cup final but every time they observed the opponent's celebration in the final stage.

Messi's dream has broken one after another and they could be their best memories but became the worst memories so far. Now, he has turned to the 31st. If we consider the next season of Copa America, he will turn to the 35. So, it would be very possible that Copa America 2019 is his last CA. Would he be able to give an international title to the Argentina national team at the end of his career? That is the question.

Almost 26 years ago, at the Estadio Monumental Isidro Romero Carbo in Ecuador, Argentina won their last Copa America by defeating Mexico under the leading of Gabriel Batistuta. The trophy is the last international title for Argentina. To remove their 26 years title drought, team Argentina is going to visit Brazil in the next June.
Just some of the players left out of Argentina's #CopaAmerica squad.

However, the upcoming season of Copa America is going to take place in Neymar's country. To bring the trophy from the Neymar's country, the Argentina team squad that consists of 23 players will visit Brazil and the coach Scaloni has announced their name. How good the team is? Is the team strong enough to win Copa America? Time will give the best answer.
If we consider the attacking division, team Argentina has one of the best attackers in recent time that consists of Di Maria, Dybala, Messi, Aguero, Acuna, Suarez and Martinez. They are selected for the main event of the CA.

Georgetown's volleyball team (6-7) experienced a great deal of roster turnover during the offseason, and as a result, the team has nine new players this season, including eight freshmen. Because of this, the Hoyas have experienced inconsistent results throughout their nonconference schedule, never winning or losing more than two consecutive matches. Still, the team has shown signs of progress, and that continued this weekend, as the team won two out of three games at the James Madison University Invitational.
"We have talked all season long about this being a process, and each match is just one more piece in the process," Head Coach Arlisa Williams said. "The first part was us getting to know each other and learning how to play together, and then to play at a high level and then to consistently play at a high level."
On Friday, Georgetown defeated North Carolina Central (1-15) in straight sets. As a team, the Hoyas recorded 45 kills, compared to only 20 by the Eagles. Freshman outside hitter Alyssa Sinnette recorded a match-high 15 kills and added nine digs, while freshman setter Paige McKnight registered 32 assists, six kills and six digs.
"Paige puts up some good numbers. She has such a high volleyball IQ. I think as Paige continues to develop as a player we will see her being even more vocal and connecting with her teammates. She can find a way to get her hitters kills, and she has the potential to take over a match. We expect to see even more of that from her," Williams said.
Just a few hours later, the Hoyas took the court against the host team, the James Madison Dukes (10-3). Georgetown started fast, jumping out to a 16-12 lead before extending that lead with a 6-0 run, eventually closing out the set by a score of 25-16.
However, after the first set, James Madison raised its level of play, taking the final three sets by scores of 25-16, 25-15 and 25-15. Still, the Hoyas had a number of standout individual performances, led by McKnight, who flirted with a triple-double, recording 22 assists, 10 digs and eight kills. Senior outside hitter Lauren Saar led the team with 11 kills, and freshman libero Kenzie Higareda added 13 digs. Still, the Hoyas could not overcome the Dukes, who had the advantage of playing on their home court.
"I think a big difference is, JMU, it was their home court, and when you're playing with a team that has their fans there, the atmosphere is very different," freshman outside hitter Liv King said. "Also, when you start higher up in points, you get out of the gates starting the game on a run, and that emotionally is a positive thing, and you want to keep going with that. It's harder to fight back."
Saturday, Georgetown bounced back to defeat Norfolk State (1-12), sweeping the Spartans in three sets by scores of 25-11, 25-19 and 25-17. King led the team with 13 kills, with a hitting percentage of .667.
"I think in that game my setter and I finally connected," King said. "It was the first time that we were helping each other out, making each other look good, and our passing percentage was up. The thing is, when one hitter is doing well, it's not just because the hitter is having a great game, it's because other factors are doing well also."
McKnight was one of those factors, earning another double-double with 35 assists and 10 digs. Sinnette added 10 kills and Higareda once again led the team with 13 digs.
"I don't think any of us felt good about the outcome of the JMU match, and the players came out determined to play hard, stay consistent, maintain a high level of play from the first point to the last. I think it was just a change in mindset," Williams said.
Moving forward, the Hoyas will look to improve their consistency as they continue to familiarize themselves with one another.
"Everyone who sees us play and every member of our team sees moments of brilliance in us. And then we have moments that are not quite as bright, and we're just trying to minimize those," Williams said.
The Norfolk State game was the final game of Georgetown's nonconference schedule, and it will now prepare for conference play. The Hoyas will open up their Big East schedule against Villanova on Friday at 7 p.m.

What do you buy the Trekkie who has everything? We assume that most fans have the basics, the DVDs (in various formats and editions), the books, the T-Shirts – even the rubbish ones but its sacrilege to throw away anything that bears the word Star and Trek.
So we look to the great material continuum to provide. Here is what we have found:
Forget Diamonds, A VISOR is a girls best friend! Not sure whether the creator went out to design a ring that looked like Geordi's eye wear or if it was a happy accident but it is certainly unique!
We love this item but only buy this for your most dedicated Trekkie Girl or your love life might start to resemble Geordi's too.
Eyephoriadesign via Etsy. £43.73
The 'Spork' is sooo 2380, this year it's all about getting more literal with your fork.
Not sure whether this is logical or practical but it looks like it has been spat out of a malfunctioning replicator along with sausages dipped in tea. That's why we want it!
Buy from SilverBellesCrafts on Etsy. £9.37
We try to keep up with fashion and style but this is compromised when you are as geeky as us! But we believe that Letterman Jackets are fashionable at the moment? But like the wormhole aliens we are not confined to what is now so we say wear this with pride!!
Buying someone art is a bit tricky, because it's very personal what you choose to display on the walls of your house. But you don't care about that, you just need to buy them a present! The retro TOS prints are safe and classy choice. Star Trek Shop UK £15.99
On the other side of the spectrum are these fantastic prints which are great but you probably won't want to stick on your living room wall. Still, it will be funny to see how they react: SciFi Fine Art via Etsy £24.99

Takeaways: Kentucky Looks SpecialAnalysis
• Mature, complete Kentucky has the look of a bona fide title contender
• Lingering observations on the Wildcats and Texas Tech after UK's series-clinching win
LEXINGTON, Ky. — There was a whole lot of action over the last two days at Cliff Hagan Stadium. These were two long, high-scoring games between two teams that grind out at-bat after at-bat and make things happen with their aggressiveness on the basepaths. But one particular sequence in Saturday's 11-6 Kentucky win stood out above all the other fireworks.
With the score tied 5-5 in the sixth inning, Kentucky had runners at second and third for No. 9-hole hitter Trey Dawson. It was an obvious squeeze situation, and Texas Tech was ready for it — but Dawson executed, and Luke Heyer slid in just before the tag to give Kentucky the lead.
The next batter, leadoff man Troy Squires, squeezed again, a perfect bunt to the pitcher's left that scored another run and resulted in a single. And then the next batter, Ben Aklinski, executed yet another squeeze — and again the Red Raiders couldn't even make an out at first base.
"I think there were five pitches, three runs, and not one ball got past the pitcher's mound, so welcome to Kentucky baseball," Squires said.
"The execution of the bunt, we were willing to put the bunt down and then the execution's just another thing. We've got nine guys willing to do that any time, and I think that's what makes us good."
Of course, there's a whole lot more to Kentucky baseball than just the inside game, as Squires himself demonstrated in the fourth inning, when he put the Wildcats ahead 5-4 with an opposite-field three-run homer to right on a 92 mph John McMillon fastball. The Wildcats are loaded with game-changing power, but they're just as willing — and just as able — to beat teams with their bunt game and their aggressive baserunning, at any given moment.

How to Boost Organizational Effectiveness with AI
Inefficient processes cost organizations as much as 20-30% of their annual revenue, according to IDC research. The average employee spends between 4 to 10 hours a week on repetitive computer tasks (up to 350 hours per year). Often these computer tasks aren't directly related to their primary job function.
For your company, this could mean thousands or even millions of dollars are wasted on ineffective systems and processes. Intelligent process automation can help optimize organizational effectiveness by reducing the time and money that's wasted on broken processes.
How can automation increase organizational effectiveness?
As your employees spend less time on a certain task or project but their output remains the same, productivity increases. Getting the most out of your employee's time is true organizational effectiveness.
As a company's workforce becomes more productive, the company's dollar goes much farther and achieves greater capital efficiency.
Intelligent process automation helps companies make this a reality. Automation eliminates repetitive tasks while AI enhances employee workflow to increase their productivity. With IPA, companies pay the same amount of money for better results.
According to Accenture, the U.S. alone will see a boost in productivity by 35% from AI and it could boost the global productivity average by up to 40%.
How to apply AI to your enterprise?
Below we give some examples of how a typical enterprise could use an automation platform powered by AI to improve overall effectiveness with examples for each.
Boost productivity by eliminating repetitive, time-consuming tasks
- Automating data entry and meeting scheduling
- Creating documents and submit forms
Enhance employee effectiveness by augmenting employee intelligence
- Providing employees with best next step recommendations
- Sales prospecting and offering personalized cross-and-upsell recommendations
Increase customer service capabilities by automating common customer requests
- Drafting an email response or forwarding message to proper department/representative
- Updating databases with new phone numbers, addresses, etc.

Another one of my early ones as well. Background made from scratch, painted using photoshop. Simple but this is one of my first scenery wallpapers. I wanted to give the impression and emotion of light heartedness and desire to escape to a blissfull place thus I chose Momo's image sitting on top of a suitcase ready for a "blissfull escape". This is actually one of my fave pieces. This was also submitted at AP.

Scam Alert: Grandparents Scams Increase During Spring Break
WITZ Radio News is an affiliate of Network Indiana
STATEWIDE -- It's Spring Break season across the country, which means it's time for grandparents to be on high alert for scams.
Director of Chief Counsel of Consumer Protection Betsy DeNardi says watch out for grandparent scams.
"An individual will call someone who is, usually, a grandparent. They try and do some research, and they impersonate your grandchild," DeNardi said.
She said the scammers will often pose as a grandchild who has fallen under a random circumstance of bad luck.
Some of them will say they were wrongfully thrown in jail and need bail money. Others might say their car has broken down, and request your help with purchasing a new one.
If you receive a call like this from a "grandchild," DeNardi suggests you immediately hang up and call the appropriate family member (i.e. the grandchild's parent) to confirm the story.
If you've fallen victim to a grandparent scam, contact the Consumer Protection Division at indianaconsumer.com. or call 1-800-382-5516.
