In every activity that requires full concentration, I have a problem, distractions.
Now that I've started coding, I have to face a lot of distractions, because I can't code without my laptop (or can I? 🤔). The most common is Youtube, Netflix, or WOW (World of Warcraft 😍). Usually, when I just can't concentrate I take a 20 minutes break and then I keep working, but a lot of times those 20 mins. become in 1 hour, 2 hours, and I get mad because of the time wasted, and I can't keep working.
I tried the other way, when I don't wanna work I give me 20 mins. of full work and if there's no progress then I take a break. Sometimes the 20 minutes turn in 3 hours, that's awesome, but also sometimes I just can't.
I listen always the same playlist in Spotify because it's a way to know how much time I've been working, I listen to the whole musical of Hamilton, that's almost 3 hours of concentration and after that, I can take a break of 1 hour, I keep Youtube and Netflix block, that's the most useful strategy till now.
The distractors are not only online. When I'm home I take a nap, eat, clean, instead of focus. To get out of a comfort zone, I go to coffee shops, does that also happen to you?
How do you get focus? Can you concentrate more at home or outside? At what time do you prefer to work? what's your strategy or advice? I know there's nothing stronger than discipline, but we always need some help to keep it.
Thanks a lot!
Hugs & Husky love! 🐶👩🏻💻

I'm Brenda! A frontend developer. 👩🏻💻 I'm From Mexico 🇲🇽 ❤videogames ❤writing ❤code ❤mexican food ❤dogs
I haven't done this in a while, but the Pomodoro technique works really well for me when I need to maintain focus or keep at a task.
Basically, it works like this:
- Decide on the task to be done.
- Set the pomodoro timer (traditionally to 25 minutes).
- Work on the task.
- End work when the timer rings and put a checkmark on a piece of paper.
- If you have fewer than four checkmarks, take a short break (3–5 minutes), then go to step 2.
- After four pomodoros, take a longer break (15–30 minutes), reset your checkmark count to zero, then go to step 1.
Like you said, it's important to get out of your comfort zone. If you work from home a lot, it's easy to want to stay at home where all your comforts and routines are. I've found that it's super helpful to make a specific space in your home that is meant for work. This could be an entire room turned into an office, or a table you always sit at. As a fellow gamer, I made it a point to not sit at the table where my desktop is, although if your laptop is the same one you use for gaming and coding, that'll be another challenge.
That said, I still focus a lot better when I get into the office, so I try to do that as often as I can. Also, I think finding the best working hours for yourself are important, although that's hard if you have a job that has set hours. I tend to be more focused in the mornings, but I'm struggling to wake up early enough. :( Habits are hard to break, but having a goal in mind and not wanting to feel guilty about how I spend my time gives me motivation.
Anyway, that's what I do, hopefully it's helpful for you!
Certainly there will be distractions anywhere you go. I feel the same way as well, be it friends who constantly message me, or that lingering thought about that next episode on Netflix. However, I do find that if I force myself to beat the distraction for the first 30 minutes into my work, I will automatically be focused throughout. It's like getting a car over the first uphill and letting it roll down on its own afterwards. Maybe that's how it works for you as well when you are listening to Hamilton.
I also remove any social media/distracting app icons on the desktop of my phone (or make it very troublesome to access) so that I won't even bother lol
My phone is always on silent and I even disabled vibration. Either on Windows or Linux, I use virtual desktops to manage my projects. I have one virtual desktop per project (and one for "stuff"). Usually I have multiple browser windows open, regarding to a certain issue about the project. My problem is often the opposite: How do I get myself to not forget to drink/eat/pee while I'm programming?
I've been working remotely for about 4 years now and getting routines has been important for me to keep focus. At start I had a harder time to focus on work but starting the day by taking a shower, making the bed and clearing the dishes has helped me a lot. I feel that these small distractions can make frustrations over nothing if just left as is.
I can't relate to having issues with Netflix or similar as I keep one computer for personal and one for professional. There was a certain time I was bit hooked on random browsing on the phone. I put the phone away in another room and only let myself only use it during the lunch.
There are a number of tools you can use to block access to sites that you find distracting (I use StayFocusd, a Chrome extension).
You can also track how long you send on productive/unproductive activities with Rescue Time.
Finally, one thing I do from time to time is take the laptop to a different location (library, coffee shop) where there's Internet access. I don't bring a charger so I have exactly "one battery" to get my work done. No time for anything else.
I found that the pomodoro technique has helped me. It's pretty simple. Just set a timer for 25 min and then take a short 5 to 10 min break. Have a predefined task and work on only that task. If I finish early, I usually go over what i did rather than start the next item I need to do. I do about 4-5 of these intervals usually wearing headphones with some instrumental music playing. At the end of that last one I take a longer break, usually 15-20 min. Then repeat.
Lately though, I've gotten a little away from this and probably should get back into it after reading this. Thanks!
This book really helped me, and I intend to use it to influence the culture wherever I end up next: The One Thing
Another book recommendation in the same line would be "Hyperfocus: How to Be More Productive in a World of Distraction" by Chris Bailey. I listened to the audiobook version; really awesome practical advices in there!
Beyond hacks to change your local mental state (e.g. music and other things people suggested), I find big picture understanding is very helpful. Why am I doing this? How does this connect to my project goals, my organization's goals, and most importantly my goals? Staying focused isn't particularly useful if you're working on wrong thing, and often working on the right thing can compensate for lack of focus because it's so much more productive.
(Long version: codewithoutrules.com/2018/05/20/st...)
Hi, Brenda. The schedules have never worked for me. Instead, I set small goals and don't stop until I complete them.
Btw, I also played WoW many years ago, it's very addictive.
What does the trick for me in most situations is noise canceling headphones and this soundtrack (youtu.be/CMnIsnINckU). Now I'm very sceptical of the supposed science behind the binaural waves thing, but for me it provides a pleasant backdrop that will actually fade to the background unlike other types of music which always pull me back out of my work with some chord progression or cadence.
Also when it's over after 1 1/2 hours it's always a good time to take a break.
The problem I see is that your "break" still involves an electronic screen (either your laptop or mobile). This is one of the most common mistakes I see at work.
Electronic screens are distracting - especially social media. So even though its technically not working - it still leaves you drained at the end of the break.
My suggestion is to keep the way you are taking your breaks but instead physically move to a different space while on a break. This could be going on a balcony/play area etc.
Its important to not use a mobile phone or any such thing. Look outside at trees, people watching etc. get lost in your own thoughts. It allows your mind to unwind and rest and do whatever it wants.
You will surprised at how effective it is.
If you need any more help - feel free to reach out to me here or on twitter.
PS - I am all about applying such mindfulness techniques as above to workplace in order to become a more productive engineer. I am writing a book (self.debug) about it and I think it will help you as you start your software engineering journey. You can download it here. It has a free option if you want to use one - but I absolutely love it when readers pay for it - nothing encourages an author more than people willing to pay for their work.

TechShare Pro, the UK's biggest accessibility and inclusive design event, is back for its third year.
Organised by AbilityNet, Google will be hosting the London event,
, on the 20 and 21 November and attendees from across the technology industry will come together to share the latest thinking about accessibility in their fields. As a Gold Partner, RNIB will be contributing to two of the panels on the themes of media accessibility.
In a panel on the future of audio description and video on-demand, chaired by Sonali Rai from RNIB, panellists from the BBC, ITV, Amazon UK and the University of York will discuss methods for introducing accessibility in popular entertainment services. They will also talk about user expectations, customer feedback and how to work collaboratively to ensure services are accessible.
There will also be a panel on Immersive Experiences where panellists from several organisations including BT Sports and Verizon Media will discuss how new technologies can be used to create multi-sensory user experiences. They will review developments in spatial audio, object-based audio in traditional TV broadcast, extended reality applications and the enhancements that these offer for people with hearing and/or sight loss.
This looks like it's going to be a really exciting tech event with representatives from some of the most cutting-edge companies out there including Apple, Netflix, Sony and Uber as workshop hosts and panellists. Tickets for TechShare Pro 2019 are now sold out but you can find out more about the event on the AbilityNet website.

CN Tower#8 in Best Things To Do in Toronto
Key Info
Price & Hours
- 3.0Value
- 4.5Facilities
- 4.0Atmosphere
A standout among Toronto's dazzling skyline, the 1,815-foot CN Tower is considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World by the American Society of Civil Engineers. The tower's height provides enviable vistas of the city below, but it also serves a practical purpose. When the city's skyline began to grow amidst a construction boom, television and radio transmission towers were having trouble broadcasting. With the structure's completion in the 1970s, the CN Tower allowed transmissions to pass with ease.
Today, elevators bring visitors to the top in less than a minute. Once there, you have four observation areas to choose from: the Glass Floor room (at 1,122 feet), the LookOut Level (at 1,136 feet), the revolving 360 The Restaurant (at 1,150 feet) and the SkyPod, which at 1,465 feet is one of the highest public observation area in the world. Meanwhile, the EdgeWalk allows the daring to experience the world's highest hands-free external walk on a building. Connected via harness, participants can take a walk on a 5-foot-wide ledge encircling the top of the tower's main pod 116 stories above the ground. The steep ticket fee of CA$225 ($174) also includes a keepsake video, printed photos, certificate of achievement and a ticket to re-enter the tower.
Although many recent travelers were wowed by the views from all observation points, some were steadfast in their opinion that the high price of admission simply wasn't worth it. If you do visit, heed the advice of recent travelers and go on a clear day to make the most of the experience.
Located in downtown Toronto near the harbour, the CN Tower is open to the public every day (except for Christmas), but hours depend on which attraction within the tower you plan on visiting. The LookOut, Glass Floor and SkyPod observation decks are open from 9 a.m. to 10:30 p.m., while the restaurant's hours vary. Standard admissions for visiting all four levels costs CA$38 (about $28) for adults and CA$28 for kids between 4 and 12, but if you book online, you'll pay a reduced rate. The entire ascension fee is waived, however, if you dine at the restaurant. Admission to the CN Tower is included in the Toronto CityPASS. You'll find the CN tower a few blocks south of the St. Andrew subway station. For more information, check out the CN Tower's website.

#1 Toronto Islands
When you're in need of a break from the hustle and bustle of Canada's biggest city, hop a ferry to the Toronto Islands. This collection of islands and islets offers a welcome touch of green to the city's skyscraper-speckled mainland. The three islands, Centre, Ward's and Algonquin, are all connected, so you don't have to worry about having to get on and off a boat to fully experience the area. Each main island offers something different. Centre Island lives up to its name, providing the most in terms of activities. There, visitors will find expansive picnic areas, beaches, sporting rentals and the Centreville Amusement Park, which features more than 30 rides, a petting zoo and a boating lagoon. Ward and Algonquin are more laid-back, dotted with 1920s-style cottages and English gardens. Hanlan's Point, located next to the Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport at the northeastern tip of the island, features the area's only clothing optional beach, as well as a lighthouse believed to be haunted. All of the islands are largely car-free, making them the perfect venue for a peaceful stroll, bike ride or picnic. And while the winter brings biting winds and lots of snow, the Toronto Islands are also a great place for cross-country skiing and ice skating.
Travelers and locals alike both take to the Toronto Islands. Recent visitors said it's a great place to take a long breather from the big city atmosphere of Toronto. Many say the incredible views of the city's skyline are reason alone to visit. However, some visitors found the area to be overrun, especially in Centre Island. Others also expressed disappointment with the inflated prices for amenities in and near the Centreville Amusement Park. Otherwise, the majority of visitors, especially those with families, thoroughly enjoyed their time on the island.

BJScrapper started following How do you find your page link in Alamy?, Request to Delete Images and Post Processing Software
I am wondering if anyone has ever taken a stock photo of public displayed artwork piece (to be used for educational purposes only), then had someone request that the image be removed? How did you respond? Thanks ...
Post Processing Software
BJScrapper posted a topic in Alamy Quality Control and technical talkHi Community ... I am trying to find a photo editing software that is easy to use, produces high quality images, and does not require a monthly user fee (like the newest versions of Photoshop & Lightbox). I know Adobe Photoshop and Lightbox are the industry standard and produce exceptional results, I find them difficult and timely to use, and I do not always get the results I want. I like how easy Microsoft Photo Editor works, even though it is limited, but it compacts the image too much. I am also using an older version of Lightbox 5.7.1 64 bit, but it no longer imports RAW files for newer camera models and I am using a Canon T6s and the new Canon D5 Mark IV. I am very reluctant to buy the online version of Photoshop because I don't believe the $10 a month fee will stay that low for long and once enough people are purchasing the online version the cost will go up significantly. So, here is my discussion topic. What stand-alone software would you recommend for post production, that produces high quality images, does not compact the file size too much, and is easy to use (like MIcrosoft Photo Editor or Google Picasa)? I also would like to find a software that allows me to import one image at a time, instead of batching photos; and preserves the original image without overwriting edits. It would be nice if it also imported Canon RAW files for editing (right now I import in Canon's Digital Photo Professional, then edit in either Lightbox or for non-stock images Microsoft Photo Editor). Let the discussion begin ... Thanks. Kristi Kisler
Feedback Needed Please
BJScrapper replied to BJScrapper's topic in Alamy Quality Control and technical talkWow ... This was really great. I am still learning so much. Thank-you for all the great feedback. I recently purchased a new Canon 5D Mark IV. My goal is to spend less time in post processing, which is not my favorite thing to do; and more time out and about shooting great images. Thanks all ... Kristi
Feedback Needed Please
BJScrapper replied to BJScrapper's topic in Alamy Quality Control and technical talkAlso ... any suggestions on how to improve the image would be great too.
Feedback Needed Please
BJScrapper posted a topic in Alamy Quality Control and technical talkHi Fellow Photographers ... I saw that another patron posted a photo that was rejected and he received lots of great input on how to improve his own QC process. I recently uploaded a photograph I took from a trip to Pompeii. It was one of the Pompeii dogs. I felt the image had excellent quality. The picture was taken with a Canon T6s; ISO 250; 1/200 sec. f/5.6 135mm; file size of 16.3 MB; with a resolution of 6000 x 4000 uncropped or enhanced. The image of the dog and surrounding grass is so clear you can see the individual hairs on the dog, the red stitching on the collar, and the grass seed heads at the feet of the dog, which are crisp and clear. The background of the road and surrounding grass are blurred on purpose. Any feedback you can provide would be greatly appreciated. This was the only image I uploaded and I am at a total loss as to how to evaluate my own images at this point. It was rejected as "soft or lacking detail."
Awesome Mark ... Thanks ... Smiles, Kristi
Hi All ... As someone who is just getting started on Alamy, I am excited to invite my friends to check out the site. I also want to be able to help potential clients find my images, so I can begin to develop a customer base. The only way I can find my personal image page, is to type my last name into the Advanced Search box. When I copy and paste the link with my images into a Facebook post, the link does not work and my friends get an error message that says they cannot access my images (it basically takes them back to the standard search box). Is there an easy way to copy a direct link to my images? How do others advertise their Alamy images to friends and potential clients? Thanks for your help ... Smiles, Kristi
Hi John ... I will look into that ... I have been trying to shoot in RAW, but the post production takes me a long time and the image quality is very poor. I am wondering if I am limited by the constraints of my camera, but my jpeg images are coming out great, crystal clear. The problem is they are not 10 MB or larger. They hit the limit of the camera at 4000x6000, but the size averages about 7 to 8 MB. I still have so much to learn. Thanks for taking the time to respond to my post. Smiles, Kristi
Hi Betty ... Thank-you for all the great advice. I was finding it difficult to find 50 tags and it would not approve my photos for sale unless I had them all. I am getting better at tagging since I started, but I still need to go back and change a few of my tags. Right now I am trying to figure out how to find an address link to my photo page, so I can advertise my images here in Alamy. Do you know how to do that? Smiles, Kristi
You are right, Picasa is definitely a very low level editor, but when you have a really good quality image and you just want a small tweak, it is extremely fast and easy to use. What does it mean when it says "Reputation 1197" under your name? Thanks for supporting my questions. I know I tend to ask a lot of them. Smiles, Kristi
Hi Joseph ... Thank-you for this invaluable information. I am guessing I have now been suspended for 9 days (my upload link says upload in 9 days), lesson learned. I found it interesting that of the 9 images I uploaded, the photo they choose to QC was my weakest image. Do they select the image they QC at random or do they look at the uploads and find the image they feel might not hit the mark? Is there a relation between the fact that I uploaded 9 images and I am now suspended for 9 days? I will definitely be using these nine days to up my game, review my images more carefully, and start organizing my files accordingly. I do appreciate the functionality of teaching contributors the importance of self reflection and quality control. I can see why it might take several years to build a quality portfolio. Nine days is a pretty stiff penalty. Picasa is a very simple photo editing tool and Google (the creator) no longer supports it. I am currently researching softwares that can accommodate RAW editing, but I really try hard to make my images need as little editing as possible, so I would like a good software that is easy to learn and use. Do you have any recommendations? Just out of curiosity ... I had updated the information on my three approved images before I uploaded my new images. Is my account suspended on posting these three images for sale too? I already have friends that would like to see my work here on Alamy. When everything is back up and running, will I have a link I can advertise that will draw customers to my work here? Thank-you for all your great information and advise. It is greatly appreciated. Smiles, Kristi
I am excited to report I have had my most recent submission accepted. Thank-you for your support and help. Jill: I usually shoot in JPEG, but have started to experiment with RAW. I try hard not to edit my photos too much, but when I want to make minor corrections I use Google's old software Picasa. It is so simple and does not over correct things. It also has some really fun setting for creating my other passion, abstract art photos. Alan: Thank-you for your suggestion. I don't currently have a webpage (working on it). but I have posted my three accepted images on my Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/kris.kisler. I believe FB compacts images, but they still look very clear. Robert: Thanks for the information. I will keep this in mind when I am taking my picture. Great advice. Finally, one other question ... I have now tagged my three photos, added all my details, and it shows the photos are for sale. How do I see how much Alamy has listed the photos for? I tried to do a search after I finished tagging them, but I couldn't find them. Is there a delay as to when you can actually see your photos for sale? Thanks ... Smiles, Kristi
Arizona Newbie - Submitting Advice?
BJScrapper posted a topic in IntroductionsOver the last couple of years I have been asked time and time again to help family, friends, and work to be the photographer at all kinds of events. As an amateur photographer I have volunteered my time and talents as a gift of love to those around me. Recently I purchased a new Canon T6s and have been traveling overseas with my students. After one of my trips, several of my co-workers recommended that I try to sell some of my photographs. That is how I discovered Alamy. I have been reading all the blog posts, but I still have a few questions. I am currently on my 5th submission (although the first three shouldn't count because I did not completely understand the QC process) and I really thought I had the requirements down. When I look at my images at full size (10+MB size, with 6000 x 4000 resolution) they look crystal clear. Unfortunately, I am still being rejected because my images are soft or lacking definition. I have read that images need to be at least 10MB or larger. My new T6s has a APS-C 22.3mm x 14.9mm sensor size, with 24 megapixel and gives great images. Is it possible my camera is not on the approved list (I have not been able to find a specific list, just lots of talk that there is or was a list)? What is the average number of submissions one makes before being accepted? Do you go through the same submission process for every picture you want to sell? I see many contributors have thousands of images, at 48 to 72 hours for each approval it could take a long time to get a large enough inventory to sell. Is there a faster way to submit once your initial photos pass inspection? I look forward to meeting some of you and seeing your work. Smiles ... Kristi

text: A combination of well-written compositions and free improvisation from this quartet of bass, drums, trombone & tenor sax. There are some obvious references to the jazz masters of the 60s & 70s (Ornette, Miles, Braxton, Sun Ra) but the playing is surprisingly fresh and innovative even though they have dozens, if not hundreds, of earlier artists to be compared to. Their sound tends to be very bottom-heavy but the tunes never drag. If you enjoy creative and inspired jazz played by master musicians then you will like Cosmologic!

This Video Perfectly Captures The Kind Of Shit Indian Censors Say
Did You Know: Your existence is against Indian culture.
YouTube channel Auteur Mark Videos uploaded a video in 2013 about the kind of things Indian censor boards say.
Censors say shit like this.
And shit like this.
And sometimes, even shit like this. (Not featured in the video)
With the Mihir Joshi case and the censor board's critique of the AIB Knockout, the video is more relevant than ever.
Comedy collective All India Bakchod came under fire by Hindu and Christian advocacy groups, as well as a member of the censor board, after releasing the video for their celebrity roast. Complaints against them varyingly point at obscenity and offending religious sentiments. Read more here.
Singer Mihir Joshi also faced the wrath of censorship after the central board of film certification (CBFC) decided to bleep out the word "Bombay" from his song "Sorry."

The first confirmed sighting of a Water Vole in over a decade has been made at Gosforth Park Nature Reserve.
The individual, photographed by local wildlife photographer Chris Castling, marks the first documented sighting of the charismatic species across North Tyneside and Newcastle for five years following the observation of field signs at Seaton Burn in 2014.
Further evidence in the form of burrows, latrines and feeding signs have been found at the site.
It was thought that Water Voles disappeared from their previous stronghold at Gosforth Park Nature Reserve, alongside the nearby Ouseburn, around 10 years ago. The species fared slightly better at the nearby Rising Sun Country Park although it is noted that the last remnants of this population had disappeared by 2012.
Data provided by the Environmental Record Information Centre (ERIC) confirm the virtual extinction of the species North of Tyne, with only a handful of records in the past decade – largely based on field signs.
The continued presence of non-native Mink appears to have been the main factor behind local declines in Water Vole numbers, but in urban areas, the urban sprawl and associated high rat presence have had a major impact on fragile and isolated colonies. With cat predation posing yet another risk to vulnerable populations.
A healthy otter population and reactive control measures mean that mink sightings at Gosforth Park Nature Reserve are uncommon.
Unconfirmed sightings of voles at Gosforth Park have continued over the past decade, giving hope that a small, isolated population may have clung on in the sites expansive reed beds and waterways. This is, however, the first time definitive proof of their presence here has been provided.
Water Voles were once a common sight on local waterways but have declined drastically. Their decline in North Tyneside mirroring national trends as the species was lost from an increasing number of sites. The collapse of vole populations has led to a number of successful reintroduction schemes, including at Kielder Water by Northumberland Wildlife Trust, although to date, no such reintroductions have taken place in the area of Gosforth Park Nature Reserve.
It is highly unlikely that this sighting is the result of reintroductions in the wider North East and instead, it seems plausible that it is either the result of the discovery of a remnant population at the reserve or dispersal from a nearby (and as yet unknown) colony.
The Natural History Society of Northumbria, who manage Gosforth Park Nature Reserve, have committed to establishing a better understanding of Water Voles at the reserve and will ensure that conservation measures designed to boost vole numbers are enacted as soon as possible. It is our hope that this iconic little mammal will once again become a regular feature of life at Gosforth Park Nature Reserve and that the site may yet provide a basis for the recovery of the species across Tyneside. We would urge anyone visiting Gosforth Park Nature Reserve to report any sightings.
Gosforth Park Nature Reserve is open to members of the Natural History Society of Northumbria and for visitors who can purchase a day pass.
Further information on the history of Water Voles in the North East: https://www.nhsn.ncl.ac.uk/interests/mammals/mammals-north-east/water-vole/
NHSN Director, Clare Freeman writes:
The return of Water Voles to Gosforth Park Nature Reserve marks the latest in a long line of exciting discoveries made at the site. Last year, Red Squirrels and Willow Tits returned following a prolonged absence and Britain's most Northerly colony of European Hornets was discovered on site. This year, volunteers have discovered the sites first breeding Tree Sparrows and what is likely the most northerly population of Oak-bush Crickets found anywhere in England.
The resurgence of Water Voles at the reserve highlights once again the incredible diversity of this unique urban oasis. The wealth of life found here testament to the incredible dedication of the many local volunteers who give their time freely to managing and protecting the site.
Whilst we are delighted by the return of this charismatic and scarce species to the reserve, we cannot help but worry about what the future may bring should a population become re-established here. Gosforth Park Nature Reserve is threatened like never before due to ongoing plans by Persimmon Homes that would see 217 new houses built in close proximity to the nature reserve. Something which, in turn, threatens this special place and the wildlife that calls it home through trespass, increased disturbance, arson, vandalism and the increased occurrence of domestic animals. Particularly cats which are known to pose a direct threat to vulnerable water voles.
The Natural History Society of Northumbria will continue to fight for the protection of Gosforth Park Nature Reserve, and we would urge everyone passionate about wildlife, wild spaces and the preservation of our precious urban greenspace to object to these plans.

Tea Story
Tea - Black, Green, or White
The history of tea (camellia sinensis, a warm-weather evergreen tree) goes back thousands of years in China. Tea was first brought to Britain in the mid-1800's, when the British East-India Company introduced the plants to India and Ceylon, bringing them from China to the British colonies for cultivation, mostly in Sri Lanka (then called Ceylon). The island's first commercial plantations were for cinnamon, but demand for it slumped in 1830s, leading to the cultivation of coffee, which at that time was more in demand. Somehow, the climate on the island wasn't ideal for coffee trees and they were devastated by the coffee leaf disease, wiping out most of them. In 1867, tea plants were introduced: they grew quite successfully and produced very fine teas, of which the first shipment was sent to London, UK, in 1873.
The best teas are grown in altitudes above 2,100 m (6,890 ft), in an environment that slows the growth of the plants, producing tea leaves with superior flavour. The mountains, warm temperatures, and annual rainfall of 100-125 cm (39-49 in) on Sri Lanka create ideal conditions for outstanding tea leaf crops. The leaves are harvested by picking two leaves and a bud, which have the finest flavour and aroma. Sri Lanka is one of the few countries where tea leaves are still picked by hand. The leaves are then processed very quickly for maximum quality. Ceylon's specialties are black tea and white tea, with black teas used alone or in blends. Green tea grown on the island is harvested from Assamese tea stock. These tea plants produce a fuller body, somewhat malty tea instead of the light yellow color associated with Chinese green tea.
Branding and grading of Ceylon tea:
There are three geographical groups of tea plantations - high or up-country, mid-country, and low-country.
The Ceylon tea brand shows a Lion in its logo - indicating that the tea is produced in Sri Lanka and the package should read: Pure Ceylon Tea - packed in Sri Lanka.
Two categories indicate size and appearance, but not necessarily quality: 'Leaf grades' and 'smaller broken grades'.
Classifications: Pekoe (P) the second fully opened leaf; Orange Pekoe (O.P) the first fully opened leaf; Flowery Orange Pekoe (F.O.P.) the first but not fully developed leaf; Broken Orange Pekoe (B.O.P.) especially flavourfull tea and mainstay of broken teas traded.

EUROPE: 'High speed trains can be and have been a catalyst for economic and social regeneration as well as bringing the people of Europe closer together — and quickly', pointed out James Brathwaite, Chairman of the South East England Development Agency, addressing a conference in London to mark the conclusion of two EU-funded projects aimed at improving local access to high speed rail services.
HSTintegration and HSTconnect had a budget of €50m, supported by the European Regional Development Fund through the Interreg IIIB programme. Both were aimed at adding value to the inter-city and high speed passenger networks in northern Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, and southeast England through a series of local initiatives.
Led by Seeda, the six-year programme involved 27 partners from the four countries. A diverse range of enhancement projects received funding, including the rebuilding of Aachen station, to which the partnership contributed €0·97m. It was also involved in the launch of connecting services between Maastricht and Liège for Thalys passengers. HSTintegration raised €3m in ERDF funding for development of bus feeder routes to Ebbsfleet International station on the UK's High Speed 1 (RG 11.07 p699).
Seeda's Head of Infrastructure & Planning Detlef Golletz acknowledged that the projects only required 'a modest amount of cash', but said they had the potential to act as catalysts to trigger much larger investments, not least by encouraging disparate bodies to work together more effectively, often across national borders.
Golletz reaffirmed his belief that the two projects could pave the way for more substantial inter-regional rail investment in the years to come. In particular, he hoped to see spare capacity through the Channel Tunnel used by 'Trans-Manche Metro' regional services connecting southern England and Nord Pas-de-Calais. 'Just because we have a bit of water in between us, we don't see why that should be an obstacle'.

Mr. Roboto: Mike Elizalde
Computer-generated effects may hog the spotlight, but animatronics expert Mike Elizalde believes in building mechanical baddies one bolt at a time.
Eight words changed Mike Elizalde's life: "I want you to open your own studio." A special effects and animatronics expert who had done stints with FX legends like Kevin Yagher (Child's Play, Hellraiser: Bloodline) and Rick Baker (An American Werewolf in London, Men in Black), Elizalde heard the words that would alter the course of his career after meeting director Guillermo del Toro on the set of Blade II.
"Guillermo and I became friends on that movie because not only did I design the animatronics, but I also went to the set as the lead puppeteer to perform and articulate these characters that I had designed," Elizalde explains. "We became very good friends, very fast friends, and a couple of years after we wrapped up Blade II, he approached me with the script for Hellboy."
With del Toro's encouragement, Elizalde launched his own studio, Spectral Motion, and created nearly all of the makeup effects and robotic creatures for the film, with the exception of lead actor Ron Perlman's iconic character makeup. Hellboy landed a Saturn award for best makeup and the film's sequel, Hellboy II: The Golden Army, garnered Elizalde an Academy Award nomination, thus sealing his position as one of the top visual effects and animatronics engineers working today. Since Hellboy, Elizalde has created mechanical mayhem for Blade: Trinity, Fantastic Four, The Day the Earth Stood Still, Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters, and Your Highness. This summer, he teams up with del Toro again for the robot-versus-alien sci-fi thriller Pacific Rim.
Mike Elizalde: I began my career doing sculpture, makeup effects, and other stuff that was more organic in nature. Dealing with flexible skin, that sort of thing, and then I became much more intrigued by the animatronic aspect of it. The first place where I really did animatronic work was at David Miller's [A Nightmare on Elm Street, Swamp Thing, Batman and Robin] but it wasn't sophisticated work. It was sort of out of a kit, rubber band and popsicle stick kind of mechanics, and then as I learned more and more about it at Kevin Yagher's shop during my first stint there, that's primarily what I did was animatronic design.
The reason it attracted me is because number one, it's almost the last stop in the process. It's the point in time where whatever you're building actually begins to come to life. I thought that was the coolest thing. It's that Frankenstein moment where Dr. Frankenstein screams, "It's alive!" because his creature's moving. It's fun. It's a really empowering feeling to see this thing come to life. When you do design animatronics, the typical situation is that you travel to the set with the thing you designed and you perform in front of the camera so by default you become a Screen Actor's Guild member. That was a big incentive for me because Screen Actor's Guild is a great organization. When you work under the Screen Actor's Guild, you collect residuals after you're done with your work. You get medical benefits, dental benefits, which were huge incentives for a freelancer like myself. Essentially you have to fend for yourself when you're freelancing, so that was a really obvious direction for me to go into and it was creatively satisfying.
ME: The first step is to look at the script. You read through the script, you find the creatures in the script that are clearly going to be done using practical means, and you budget those out and start designing what they look like on the outside. Once you have a look, an aesthetic, then you can go in and figure out what the movements are going to be for the character. Every time you build something, our goal is to make it as natural and realistic as possible. We've been very successful at that and also creating something that's reliable and durable. Those are all the considerations that go into creating an animatronics systems creature.
ME: The technical challenges were about creating a creature [called Sammael in the film] that was completely autonomous that had some very complicated mechanisms, some very complicated animatronics by way of an array of tentacles it had for hair and also a really uniquely challenging eye mechanism for the creature. It had a very complicated system that allowed its pupils to dilate. It had a nictitating membrane the way lizards and birds, when they blink their eyes their membrane kind of goes over their eyeball. It also had an in-and-out motion out of the head so the eyes sink into the head when they close. When they completely close, a membrane would close around the eyeball. It's really disgusting but it was fun to build, very challenging.
ME: That's something that's second nature for us because we've studied so much of how natural movement occurs. If we knew we're doing something specific, we study serpentine motion, we study the motion of sea creatures that are serpentine or eel, any kind of creature that we would emulate to create the effect we need. Then we figure out structurally, and I guess architecturally, how to build that motion and how to correctly place the servomotors to give us the maximum movement that we require; that's pretty much it. A lot of it is intuitive and a lot of it is research. Those two things combined really give us a good result.
ME: The requirement was a troll, a large troll, and the research really was studying the human face and looking at the subtleties of movement in a human's eyes, in a human's mouth. The reason that this character was such a landmark character is because we are existing in a time where most filmmakers choose to use digital effects for what we did with Hansel and Gretel. In this case, the director was very vehemently insisting that this character had to be practical and it really is a high water mark as far as practical effects are concerned, specifically animatronic effects. It really was a very important character in the film. The costume without the actor in it weighed 120 pounds so it's very hefty, a very large, large character, but it was a magnificent example of how effective practical effects can be in film. We're all very proud of that effort.
ME: I think that we're inextricably bound at this point in time. We work together with CG artists all the time. It's part of the equation to go into a film expecting to collaborate with our digital effects artist friends. There's sort of a prevailing sensibility out there that it's us versus them, it's CG versus practical, and I don't buy into that. I think the important thing to remember is that every tool has its place and will render optimum results if used correctly, especially when used in combination with all the other tools at our disposal.
ME: I think it's a good idea if you have a well-rounded background and you understand all the other processes. If you're designing something to move, you really have to understand how that skin is going to react. You have to understand the character, not only in the mechanical sense but also in the aesthetic sense, the external skin and how it reacts to certain movements. It's one of those fields where the more you know the more successful you're going to be at designing something that looks natural and realistic. I've seen a lot of examples of not very well done animatronics that really don't sell. They don't look right and the reason for that is the people designing them just don't have the experience of having created sculpture, of having created a prosthetic makeup effect to see what it looks like on an actor, how it moves. All of those elements play into being able to design successful animatronics.
ME: Nowadays I think it's really important to have some background in 3-D design and 3D CAD design because that's really what we use most of the time. We don't really go to the drawing board like we used to when I started. We definitely rely heavily on computer-assisted design for designing mechanical parts, so it would be a good idea to have a background in that. It would be a really good idea to have some sort of understanding, if not actual formal training, at least some understanding of the technical aspects such as electronics, radio control, motion design; those things are essential to be able to do this kind of work.
ME: I think it's just about investing the time. You really need to put time into what you're doing and not rush through it. If you're making a sculpture for the first time or you're designing an eye mechanism, take your time, breathe, and don't rush through it unless of course you're faced with a ridiculous deadline. If you're doing it on your own to learn, then that's the time to take time and really figure out how these things come together and really become a good artist as a result of that.

Sorry if this is getting boring, folks!
The BBC has taken quite a long time to pick up this story, but at last it has found space for it.
Yet another reason for the BBC to get its act together when it comes to reporting from the regions.
And I note that Cheshire is still invisible as far as Aunty is concerned - their coverage on the NWE comments that the paper's geographical remit is Cumbria, Lancs, Merseyside, Isle of Man and Greater Manchester. I sometimes wonder if I'm living in a parallel universe or black hole...

NWE yet again

You've identified your needs, researched HR strategies, chosen a technology partner and launched your real-time performance management and/or social recognition platform. Your job here is done, right? Wrong. The best-planned program can still fail miserably if it doesn't become a part of your organization's everyday activities.
We've asked our clients for their top suggestions for keeping their programs fresh.
1. Award limited edition badges for a get-it-before-it's-gone sense of excitement. These can be specific to company events or milestones or celebrate new products or services. More generally, these badges can be in support of standard holidays like administrative assistant day, etc. or even made up holidays. One HighGround client created a Chuck Norris-themed badge to celebrate its "Day of Awesomeness."
2. Create a monthly award to reinforce your company mission and values. These could support the behaviors and competencies the organization wants employees to embody, such as community or integrity, and be awarded in a town hall meeting setting or announced in the platform.
3. Bring the online program offline. Use other avenues such as newsletters, executive emails and manager meetings to share what's happening on the platform – whether that's kudos for a new client win, reminders that quarter goals are due or sharing which departments have requested the most feedback.
4. Create an "on the spot" agenda item in leadership meetings to review each department's usage stats and talk through any anomalies. This ensures that issues don't go unresolved for too long – and helps executives identify the program champions.
5. Integrate, integrate, integrate. The easier the program is for employees to participate, the better. Systems like HighGround can integrate with tools like Outlook, SharePoint, Yammer – wherever employees spend the most time communicating and collaborating.
6. Create a live feed of employee recognitions through the use of in-office monitors. Put them up in the kitchen and other places employees hang out TVs in the office, to further promote and reinforce the use of the system.
7. Put new badges and rewards up for an employee vote. Not only will it engage teams to choose their favorites, but it will create a sense of ownership and increase the chances of them awarding each other the badge or trying to earn the reward.
8. Challenge employees to request a new type of check-in with their manager. It can be difficult to move outside their comfort zone but interacting in a new way – whether it's around goals, career development or feedback on a completed project – could re-energize employees and lead to more continued conversations.
9. Award individuals, teams, departments or even entire business units for reaching milestones in the system. The first employee to set and reach their quarterly goals could earn lunch with the CEO, or the department that is most active in giving out recognitions could earn a half day of vacation.
10. Conduct regular training or even monthly refresher sessions to create an ongoing opportunity for employees to ask questions and learn more about the system or program in general.
11. Find ways to share positive examples of usage. Examples could include an employee newsletter feature on an individual who earned a promotion after having frequent coaching sessions with their manager on improving their weaknesses or hosting a company-wide lunch to celebrate recent milestones in the system.
12. Give employees ways to invest in the system. Asking for their feedback on processes or how often they're expected to set goals will get them more involved behind the scenes. If they feel a part of the decision-making process on a deeper level, they'll be more committed to using it.
13. Relate the tool to everyday activities happening in the office. Having a company meeting? Run a pulse survey in the system about how the meeting went. Having an off-site field day? Give winners a special field day badge. Having a chili cookoff? Announce the winner in the system. Get into the habit of making the program a part of every facet of the business.
14. Assign days where employees who are recognized are required to "pass it on" by then sending a badge to someone else. This gets employees excited to see who's next and keeps the activity high.
15. Encourage employees to access the system in new ways. This reinforces that employees can send badges, request feedback or update their goals via their desktop, their mobile phone or directly in other communication or collaboration tools.
16. Hold coffee/happy hour sessions with an in-office kiosk, desk or booth to promote new materials or act as a listening hour to hear feedback on processes both in the tool and outside of the tool. People love free drinks!
17. Start a Tips of the Week column on the company intranet or distributed via email. This will share tips and tricks for using the tool, promote new features and functionality or even link out to articles and research that talk about the employee benefits of requesting feedback or setting goals.

The 2015-2016 NBA season will be Kobe Bryant's last. The five-time champion with the Los Angeles Lakers announced the news in a poem on The Players' Tribune, aptly called, "Dear Basketball." The poem periodically shut down the internet, as viewers flooded the site to read the farewell.
Kobe's 20th season is capped with NBA milestone moments that will last far beyond the last time he suits up for the Lakers next spring. His five NBA titles include three wins with Shaquille O' Neal in 2000, 2001, and 2002. He won back to back titles in 2009-2010, in which he was named the Most Valuable Player for both championships. In his farewell, the 37 year-old emphasized that he wanted to savor the final moments of his NBA career, with all his focus on the game of basketball.
Kobe's poem wraps with a hint at the future, but he lets fans know that he'll forever be the kid on the court in love with the game:
And we both know, no matter what I do next
I'll always be that kid
With the rolled up socks
Garbage can in the corner
:05 seconds on the clock
Ball in my hands.
5 … 4 … 3 … 2 … 1
We salute you, Kobe.

Dilly Green Bean Salad
Adapted from Food Network
*I have made this exact same salad with cucumbers instead of green beans. Obviously, don't blanche the cucumbers, if you decide to go that route.
Blanche the green beans in a large pot of boiling water and cook until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Drain well, pat dry, and place them in a large bowl. Combine with feta cheese, red onion and tomatoes.
Pour on the olive oil and red wine vinegar, season with salt and pepper and toss well. Let marinate for 1 hour before serving.
Serves 4-6.

Hoi An! Boasting of unreal beauty thanks to its ancient places and natural attractions. Check out these places to visit in Hoi An, Vietnam before you book that ticket!

Ancient Town
Don't miss visiting the ancient town of Hoi An. Whether you want to visit during the morning, catch the sunset in the afternoon, or see the lanterns light up the evening, this place will surely brighten your trip to Hoi An. You can also ride a boat and take a tour along the Bon River.

Find the beauty in ancient architecture as you go to this museum and residence where you can receive a warm welcome from the family members.
Japanese Bridge
The Japanese bridge, known as the Cau Chua Pagoda, was built to link Tran Phu Street and Nguyen Thi Minh Khai Street. It's known to be one of the most popular places to visit in Hoi An because of its unique feature which is similar to the Japanese pagoda.
Cantonese Assembly Hall
The Cantonese assembly hall, also known as Quang Trieu, is a place where the Chinese visitors and residents gather to worship and give honour to Thien Hau. It is one of the famous attractions in Hoi An because of its structure and decorations. If you want to pay a visit, the hall is just right next to the Cau Pagoda.

New routes in Namless Cwm
Back in the cwm today ( Sunday 14th December ) with Dave Brown and Keith Ball
Very quite and seems warm today. Fresh snow overnight has plastered crag. We solo up Tower Gully ( Grade 2 ) to its crux. from here I climb up stepped corners on the right wall of the Tower. This new route goes at IV-6 and gives a really good pitch to the top of the Tower.
Quick solo down Tower Gully, nip over to Clogwyn Ddu and solo up to the start of Pillar Chimney. Lots more ice in here than 3 days ago. However , we have no screws so traverse front of Pillar and instead of going up right hand side of pillar by the chimney, I climbed direct up onto the slab. This gives a short but good piece of IV-5 climbing. Go up slab to top to have a look at Dia Lampards route which traverses out left above the roof above Manx Wall. Turf a little soft and ice quite thin compared to Thursday. Decide to go up right and join Left Hand route to top.
Solo down back back of Cwm then head out right of the Cwm. Keith leads a new route up a gully on thin, loose ice and snow, felt quite insecure. Has two good sections to it. this 1 pitch climb goes at IV-6.
Dark by now, so head off down

Bidwells' response to the local plan expert group
On 27 April Bidwells submitted their response to the Local Plan Expert Group (LPEG). LPEG set out 47 recommendations on how the Government could speed up the process of preparing a local plan.
Most of the recommendations are plainly sensible, although many need further exploration before they can be implemented as LPEG has recognised. Of particular note are:
- Standardising the method for establishing the objectively assessed housing needs of an area;
- Production of an 'Environmental Capacity Assessment' to understand how much land is potentially developable and whether there are genuine constraints to not meeting those objectively assessed housing needs in full;
- Changes to the tests of soundness to improve the effectiveness of the duty to cooperate;
- Consideration of strategic planning powers in devolution bids, as appropriate;
- Setting a timetable for preparation of local plans, limiting the period to two years;
- Streamlining the requirements for sustainability appraisal;
- Standardisation and auditing of the five year housing land supply process.
Bidwells has largely welcomed these recommendations, subject to amendments of our own.
In particular we are concerned that the proposed method of assessing housing need would not facilitate provision of housing in the areas of greatest need, especially those subject to significant employment growth.
We have also highlighted concerns with the proposed method of auditing an area's five year housing land supply which could see planning decisions being made on data almost two years out of date.
In the round however, we feel that these recommendations are a significant step forward and feel that, subject to proposed changes, that the Government should adopt the LPEG's recommendations in their entirety.
