Yet this is not so, particularly if the room in a room is restricted. If you are residing in a dormitory, or a small apartment, a small table is probably the most convenient choice for you. A small table inhabits very little room and can be made use of for many features. A small desk can take various kinds – it can have cabinets, tiers, a small cupboard below, or merely be a basic table with 4 legs and nothing else functions. Small tables can have a round top, or a square one, and they could likewise have tops through triangulars or half-circles in particular instances. There can also be a hutch above the table where extra things can be piled or stored. A small wooden desk is normally preferred by most people to desks made of any other materials.

Bear with us! Mama bear and four cubs make driver wait as they dash across US road
This was the adorable moment a family of bears including a mother and four cubs dashed across a West Virginia road on June 11.
Dashcam footage shows the mother quickly evade the oncoming traffic while an initial trio dash closely behind her leaving a straggler behind the rest.
The driver on the back roads of Union, Monroe County was on autopilot in their Tesla but said: "As soon as I saw the bear I hit the breaks and took over."

Not Closing Interviews
Case 2
Marketer seeking help after 8 months of unemployment lands a competitive role at a top market research company with only 2 interview coaching sessions.
"There was a disconnect between what was on paper and how I was presenting myself in front of interviewers. On paper, I looked like a great candidate. But I would always second guess myself when going into interviews and it showed." (Sai)
Could you tell me about your background?
My Bachelor's degree is in Anthropology and Jewish Studies from the University of Maryland. I also hold a Masters degree in Jewish Studies. From there, I decided to enter the Jewish nonprofit world head on. Between college and graduate school, I did some international work and gained core experience with donors and fundraising. After I finished my Master's, I transitioned back to a more fundraisingoriented role and was responsible for largescale campaigns with key stakeholders.
As a Director, I had reached a point in my career where I wasn't moving up and increasing my responsibilities at an engaging rate. This started to drain on me so I began to put out feelers. I reached out to a few organizations and received a positive response, which encouraged me to expand my job search outside of my state.
What steps did you take to differentiate your job application?
During my first session with Diana, we worked on posture and projecting confidence. This was really important for me because, after eight months in the job market, my confidence was getting very low. She also taught me how to give more powerful responses during interviews. She stressed the importance of being concise during our practices and the result was very beneficial. Her coaching gave my responses more clarity and I found that I could think better when I was talking.
Before I had the second session with her, I found out that I had been called for an interview at with a global research corporation. I went back to Diana and she helped me prepare specifically for that interview. We did some mock interviews that really gave me a better sense of how I react to questions, how I should present myself, and how I tend to speak. What also really helped me was the way she told me to structure my interview responses.
What was your success coming out of your coaching sessions?
I received an offer from the research corporation, and I am working there now!
Do you have any advice for other professionals in similar positions?
I have two pieces of advice for new grads:
- Job hunting requires patience: I didn't get my first job until 4 months after graduation. It got a bit depressed seeing my friends getting jobs before me. When I did get a job, I started with such a recognizable company that it made the waiting worth it. For those that are job hunting, my first piece of advice is to be patient. Build a job search action plan, connect with people in your target industry through networking events and informational interviews, and always keep your eye on the goal. Also, don't forget to take care of yourself during the job hunt. Exercise and meet up with friends and family to destress.
- It's okay to not like your first job: Once you get a job, you may not like it and that's okay! It's fine to not like your job, as long as it is taking you somewhere that you would like to go. For example, if you take up a sales role at a company but it's giving you exposure to the marketing department, where you really want to work, do your time in sales and switch over to marketing when you can. Building a career requires getting a foot in the door. There is not one direct route to where you want to get to. Any two people can land up in the same position in different ways.

Never Would Have Guessed ItSauron was a fascist, an implementer of the devil's theories:
After joining his new master in Middle-earth, he proved to be a devoted and capable servant: "While Morgoth still stood, Sauron did not seek his own supremacy, but worked and schemed for another, desiring the triumph of Melkor, whom in the beginning he had adored. He thus was often able to achieve things, first conceived by Melkor, which his master did not or could not complete in the furious haste of his malice."[19] "In all the deeds of Melkor the Morgoth upon Arda, in his vast works and in the deceits of his cunning, Sauron had a part."[20]
A sort of Goebbels-Himmler type to Melkor's Hitler. (Wingnuts would say he's Lenin to Melkor's Marx.)
The time would come, however, when Sauron was almost wholly consumed by evil. Tolkien wrote that he did not think there could be such a thing as "Absolute Evil" ("since that is Zero"), but "in my story Sauron represents as near an approach to wholly evil as is possible. He had gone the way of all tyrants, beginning well, at least on the level that while desiring to order all things according to his own wisdom he still at first considered the (economic) well-being of other inhabitants of the Earth. But he went further than human tyrants in pride and the lust for domination, being in origin an immortal (angelic) spirit."[2]
Now this probably sounds like socialism to a wingnut, but to me it sounds like neoliberalism.
Gandalf went for advice to Saruman the White, leader of the White Council, but discovered that Saruman had been corrupted by his long studies of Sauron. Using the palantír in the tower of Orthanc, Saruman was now in communication with the Dark Lord and acted as his ally, though he also secretly hoped to gain the Ring for himself and use its power to supplant Sauron.
I like this; it's an instance of what could be called the "Apt Pupil" syndrome, the corruption of scholars of the historically morbid.
It literally never occurred to Sauron that his enemies were attempting to send the Ring into Mordor to unmake it at Mount Doom. Rather he took it completely for granted that they would try to access and use its power. Sauron regarded all his opponents, even up to Manwë Lord of the Valar, simply as rivals for world dominion and just as cynical as himself: "His cynicism, which (sincerely) regarded the motives of Manwë as precisely the same as his own, seemed fully justified in Saruman. Gandalf he did not understand."[54] Exploiting this blindspot in Sauron's psychology had been Gandalf's strategy all along: "Into his heart the thought will not enter that any will refuse [power], that having the Ring we may seek to destroy it. If we seek this, we shall put him out of reckoning."[55]
Cynicism. This is no doubt true of all who abuse power -- not only of their own nature, but true with regard to how dimly they perceive the actual motives of decent people. Self-abdication always perplexes the power-mad; sometimes they are so thrilled with bewilderment that they fetishize the abdicator, witness the leaders of Rome, the Italian Republic, and Anglo-America in the respective cases of Cincinnatus, Garibaldi, and Edward VIII*. Proof, to me, is in the examples of the Founders: both Washington and Jefferson considered chasing power an unseemly endeavor. Both were embarassed by it. Yet both, at the same time, did exactly that -- often, behind the scenes, in a most rabid and ruthless way. Typically American in their hypocrisy, they knew better than to do what they did. They did it anyway, all the while denying it.
*In the Duke of Windsor's case, ignorantly.

Vinpok Taptek Mac Keyboard
Almost everyone is talking about minimalist devices and ultra-slim gadgets. But owing to the technical requirements of fully mechanical keyboards, it is virtually impossible – even inconceivable – to create a mechanical keyboard that is as slim as any MacBook in the planet. Well, until Vinpok designed the Taptek.
At the heart of the Taptek is a revolutionary piece of technology that effectively reduced the thickness of mechanical switches so that keys will be as slim as technically possible. With the base of the keyboard a mere 16-millimeters thick, what you're actually getting from the Taptek is a kind of super-slim keyboard that will be all alone at the top of its class.
Like all mechanical keyboards, the Taptek delivers uncompromising performance when it comes to communicating between your inputs and the electronic signals it sends to your computer, be it Mac or Windows. It's the kind of keyboard that tells your fingers exactly what they need to feel so that they'll be more than motivated to keep on typing, not feeling the strain that conventional keyboards typically place on the digits.
Drawing inspiration from Apple's simple design philosophy yet with unquestionable performance, the Taptek allows for ease of switching between Mac and Windows platforms. It also has the capability to connect with 3 devices, including Android, and easily switch among these with a mere tap of a button.
RGB LED lights are already built into the Taptek, complete with 19 different backlight modes that give you the versatility to create a more appropriate typing milieu. At the very least you can feel more enabled with the right backlight illuminating every stroke that you make on the keys of the Taptek.
And speaking of keys, the mechanical switches are guaranteed to last up to 50 million keystrokes. Its durability is unquestionable and its design offers comfort as you've never seen in a mechanical keyboard before.
The Vinpok Taptek may not have the glitz and glam of other mechanical keyboards, opting instead for a very simple design. Yet its performance is something that even some of the world's best mechanical keyboards cannot match.

09 Nov Controlling Your Emotions Instead of Letting Them Control You
Have you ever noticed that during an intense argument you can't seem to think of anything to say, but 20 minutes later you come up with the world's greatest comebacks? Have you ever thought of why this is? Is it just because you've had more time to think about a good response? Or the fact that your head is more clear? The answer is actually both.
We have talked a little about the brain in previous blogs, but let me remind you a little bit about what happens in your brain during intense emotions. The two parts of the brain we are going to talk about are the prefrontal cortex and the limbic system. Our prefrontal cortex is our control center. It's where we reason, make decisions, and think. When things are going well, the prefrontal cortex of our brain acts as a control center that keeps emotions and impulses in check. The limbic system is where emotions happen. It is also the addiction center of the brain. New research shows that acute, uncontrollable stress sets off a series of chemical events that weaken the prefrontal cortex while strengthening the limbic system. As the limbic system takes over we may find ourselves consumed by paralyzing anxiety or subject to impulses: indulgence or restricting of food, drinking or drugs, or a spending spree.
So during that intense argument you were having your high emotions weakened your thinking brain and increased your emotional brain. When you calmed down your emotional brain, your prefrontal cortex was able to perform it's thinking role and that is when you came up with the comebacks that would have won any argument.
Obviously, there are much worse scenarios than an intense argument where uncontrollable emotion can get you into real trouble. For example, high anxiety can stop you from leaving the house or even your bed. Intense depression can cause you to self harm or kill yourself. High euphoria can cause you to think you are invincible and you may participate in risky behaviors. If you try and make decisions during intense emotion, you will not make good decisions. It's just how we are wired.
So what do you do to keep emotions from controlling you? The answer is "control them". Whenever you feel an emotion rising to potential dangerous levels, you need to calm your body down. It's easier to do this before the emotion gets out of control, so be aware of rising emotions in yourself. This will take practice, but as you come more in tune to your body it can become almost second nature.
There are many ways that you can calm yourself down. Some things may work, others may not. You will need to find something that works on you. The first way I want to discuss is meditation. Now, most of us don't have time to do a full 30 minute meditation session when our emotions are rising. What we have is a moment. Here is a video that will show you how to meditate in a moment. One-moment meditation.
Another thing you can do is to distract your mind. You can do this in numerous ways: drawing, exercising, writing, dancing, listening to music, singing, reading, etc. Do something to try and help calm your mind.
Another way is to get up and get out of your environment. Even though your environment may not be the thing causing your distress, sometimes just moving around and putting yourself in different settings will help your mind calm down. If your environment is causing your distress then getting out of the situation will definitely help.
it is safe to say that you are Surprised when you caught wind of creehack? Yes, Creehack has the ability to give you boundless gaming things for nothing. In any case, Creehack has it's own constraints. creehack no root can not be relied upon to work with each amusement. You won't ready to claims free coins and pearls in every one of the amusements utilizing Creehack. Be that as it may, you will see the Creehack application demonstrating it's enchantment in the greater part of the android diversions
To make these strategies effective you need to find out a strategy that will work for and then plan on using that strategy. Remember in the moment you may not have time or mental capacity to choose one, so choosing a couple ahead of time will give you a better chance of actually calming down your mind.
Remember that you are in control. You don't have to let emotions control your life. Have a great week!

From Thomas Jefferson to William Short, 2 August 1808
Monticello Aug. 2. 08.
Dear Sir
On the reciept of your letter of July 23. I wrote to mr Madison expressing my ideas on the several points it presented, and recieved his in return which I now inclose you as containing our joint opinions on them. that which respects the direct voyage will, I am afraid, not be so agreeable to yourself, yet I believe it is indispensible. secrecy is essential, that obstacles may not be prepared for us by anticipation, and a passage through France without saying any thing there on the subject might lessen confidence in the integrity of our views. the importance of secrecy is the basis of our making the mission during the recess rather than the session of the Senate, to which objections will be made. you will observe that mr Madison suggests a son of Dr. Rush as secretary. I do not know him, but I think there is a division in that family in political creed which you would do well to enquire into. I am anxious on this point on your own account and to lessen objections to the mission. if he is republican, there are some circumstances which would be in his favor. I send you mr Madison's letter to abridge my own labour, as the short stay of the post gives me but a few hours to answer all my letters, which must otherwise lose half a week. I salute you with constant esteem & respect.
Th: Jefferson
P.S. be so good as to return mr Madison's letter. You must still give out that your destination is France.

How Can Lack of Sleep Affect Your Business?
Today, in the fast-paced world it is really difficult to cope with a hectic schedule and endless work priorities. Most people who follow a hectic schedule at the office also carry their work burden at home as well. They are working late nights to finish work. This disturbs their sleeping pattern as they do not take enough sleep during the night.
Lack of sleep can lead to a lot of health issues as well as it can affect your business having an impact on your productivity. For example, you can become less attentive and easily make a mistake that costs money or accidentally delete some important information. Luckily, there are secure data recovery services to solve such an issue.
Health Problems
It may sound a bit unusual for those who do not follow a healthy sleeping pattern but it is true that sleep and productivity go hand in hand. Lack of sleep is not good for your business or career as you tend to compromise on your health to take care of your work. You may feel fatigue, low immunity can lead to colds and fever often due to which you may miss going to work.
Obesity occurs as a result of not getting enough sleep. Actually, when you are not sleeping you feel hungry and tend to eat more. These can also another factor that answers your question "how does sleep deprivation affect productivity?"
Due to health problems, you may not feel like working or going to work often. Of course, the excuses won't work when it comes to the professional front. Your health may not allow you to work better if you do not take care of your sleeping patterns. Take some time out to plan your work and get 7-8 hours of sleep
Decrease in Productivity
As discussed above, many people carry their work home which leads to stress to complete work and it affects their sleep as they keep are stressed about completing their work.
Losing Focus
Because of sleep deprivation, you can lose your focus often. People who are deprived of sleep often experience losing focus. They are not able to focus on their work due to stress and fatigue and both these factors lead to lack of concentration.
Due to lack of concentration your performance on professional front is affected badly. You should understand the fact that both sound sleep and performance are equally important.
Lack of Sleep Leads to Poor Performance
According to health experts, 7-8 hours of sleep is important to be healthy. Well, when professionals cut down on their sleep to 6 hours or less, it affects their performance. It directly means sleep and productivity that are both affected due to extra overload at workplace.
Some people who face sleep deprivation in the workplace complain of not able to focus on what is being discussed in meetings, it takes a longer period of time to complete the task than expected, not able to think about new ideas, reduced motivation, not able to deliver within deadlines, not able to come up with solutions etc.
Lack of sleep also leads to irritability, uneasiness, affects decision-making abilities etc. which directly leads to poor performance at work.
Prolonged Tiredness Can Affect Your Overall Well-being
If you are focused on non-stop work and it has been going on for a long period of time, then it certainly can put your overall well-being in danger. You will notice that you are affected emotionally, socially and psychologically. Lack of sleep disturbs your mood and feelings. Some of the serious problems that arise due to sleeplessness are memory loss, mania, hallucinations etc. All these factors can have a negative impact on your professional as well as personal life. You will find it challenging to give your best at workplace due to lack of sleep and go through problems like moodiness, anxiety, elevated stress levels, and frustration.
You need to maintain a proper balance between work and sleep to manage your daily routine well and stay healthy. Try to opt for a healthy routine where you get 7-8 hours of sleep and you can see the changes in your performance at work.
Emotional Disturbance
Lack of sleep can lead to change in your emotional health and, of course, of your efficiency at work. Same goes with your personal relationship as you may not be emotionally stable to balance between your personal and professional life due to disturbed emotions.
You may hurt someone due to disturbing emotions or you may not be able to give your 100% at the workplace. All these things will ruin your personal and professional life.
How to Get Over the Problem?
Nowadays people are heading towards technology to find a solution to this problem. They are using headbands that helps relax your mind so that you can sleep well and some sleep trackers that monitor your sleeping pattern. These devices help people relax and also get into right sleeping habits to remain healthy.
The world is changing and we all are behind earning money for which we work for hours together, but we ignore the right kind of lifestyle and health. We give less importance to sleeping patterns till the time we do not encounter any health issues. Act before it is too late because chronic sleeping disorders will send signals to your body of a disturbed sleeping pattern and then your body will respond to it and you will face sleeping problems even when do not workload.
You can choose any solution you want to treat sleeping problems but remember that good sleeping habits will not only promote good health but will also help you excel at work front. You can use the devices that aid database operations to keep track of your sleeping habit.
You can keep a check on your sleeping pattern and make sure you are not awake for long hours and deprive yourself of sound sleep. Your body reacts to what you do and if you do it the right way, it will support you the right way. Take care of yourself and maintain a healthy sleeping habit.

This ranch ain't big enough for the two of us. J. David Bamberger restored 3,000 acres of overgrazed Carter Ranch to its native condition, eliminating Ashe junipers, prickly pear cacti and greenbrier, and returning the terrain to its native condition, grasslands similar to that pictured above.

The garden
A Hill Country nature-western
By William Scheick
Jeffrey Greene. Water from Stone: The Story of Selah, Bamberger Ranch Preserve. Texas A&M University Press, 2007. $24.95. 218pp.
Jeffrey Greene's Water from Stone is a whodunit nature-western set in the Hill Country near Johnson City, Texas.
The culprit: ranchers who overgrazed the land during the last century.
The accomplices: Ashe junipers which quickly laid claim to the destroyed terrain.
The sheriff: J. David Bamberger, who ecologically restored thousands of acres to their rightful owners.
It's a story of business savvy turned against rapacious market interests, a nature-redemption tale that would have heartened the spirit of environmental iconoclast Henry David Thoreau. It's a story to move a gardener's heart, already deeply attuned to nature's productive beauty.
The plot of Water from Stone is deceptively simple. A man sets out in 1969 to purchase a Blanco County nature-crime scene, "a lousy piece of real estate … nobody else wants." That place turns out to be the 3,000-acre Carter Ranch. It's covered with shallow-rooted Ashe junipers, prickly pear cacti and greenbrier (gotcha vines) growing in bare limestone. The Ranch's only source of water is a useless well of smelly sludge the color of blood.
The Ashe junipers are squatters. They have rapidly occupied overgrazed terrain, where they aggressively maintain their hold by depleting watersheds and shutting out local plants. Whether or not Ashe junipers are the rapacious water thieves they are often said to be — David Bamberger is certain that they are — these trees certainly create an inhospitable environment for other, more earth-friendly vegetation.
They have to go. So Mr. Bamberger clears them out, replacing vast tracts of these junipers with native grasses. The result, as Mr. Greene's book-title suggests, recalls the famous biblical scene where Moses strikes a rock and water miraculously spills forth. As various grasses take over their rightful heritage on the Carter Ranch, they enable the recharging of the Edwards aquifer. Soon springs and seeps appear, followed by creeks flowing year-round.
Mr. Bamberger names this reclaimed place Selah, the word appearing at the end of many Old Testament psalms. The Hebrew word means "pause to reflect," and that is exactly the educational intention behind Mr. Bamberger's wildlife preserve. It's a conservational lesson, late in the day, "written" large on the land for all of us to study and ponder.
Mr. Bamberger, who sometimes comes across as a difficult my-way-or-the-highway sheriff, certainly deserves and has in fact received credit and praise. He spent his money, time and life transforming Selah. His vision, inspired by Louis Bromfield's Pleasant Valley, and his personal transformation in the course of learning and then teaching others to care for the earth are nothing less than inspiring.
Even if Water from Stone is a fitting testament to the man, some readers may wish the book conveyed better the splendor of Selah itself. The author, a Bamberger family relative living in France, honestly confesses little familiarity with this Texas landscape. As a result, his book is more about the visionary than the vision. Selah is represented, to be sure, but some readers will long for a closer encounter with the stirring marvel of the restored land itself. Photographs might have helped.
Gray water alternative
for sub-irrigating landscape plants
By Edith Chenault
When the weather turns dry, Texans may start thinking about the best ways to avoid high water bills and still maintain their landscaping. Gray water may be one option, said Dr. Bruce Lesikar, Texas Cooperative Extension agricultural engineer.
Gray water is the water that has passed through showers, sinks, bathtubs or washing machines, Lesikar said. It makes up about half of the water used in the home and normally passes into onsite wastewater treatment systems or city sewer systems.
"The typical resident will have about 30 gallons per person per day," he said.
"Gray water is a source (of water) that's already paid for, and you can use it in your landscape," he added.
It is different from black water that comes from the toilet or kitchen sink. Black water has the potential to have many solids and therefore cannot be used on landscapes without treatment, he said.
Gray water is not without risk, though.
"It does come into contact with the human body so there is a risk for having organic matter as well as pathogens," Lesikar said. "So it needs to be used safely and wisely."
Also, gray water may contain high concentrations of sodium and phosphorus from soaps, detergents and cleaning products. If not leached out, these can build up, harming soil health, he said.
State regulations affect how gray water systems may be installed and used, Lesikar said. A typical gray water system consists of a diversion valve to direct gray water to the reuse system, a tank to separate solids, an effluent screen to trap solids before they leave the tank, an overflow pipe with two black-water valves going to the onsite wastewater treatment system or municipal sewer, and a distribution system delivering gray water to the plants. The pipe for distributing the water must be purple to designate that it is reclaimed wastewater.
A gray-water system must be used to avoid ponding or build-up of water on the ground surface, he said. Ponding may cause nutrients and salts to build up in one place in the yard, or it may attract nuisances like insects.
Plus, if pets play or roll in wet areas, they could bring wastewater back into the house.
"Because there is the potential risk in ponded water, pets may be exposed to pathogens," he said.
Typically, gray-water systems that are whole-house systems are completed at the time the house are built.
"If you are planning on a gray-water system, you have to start by planning early," he said. "Houses that are on blocks or above the ground do have the ability to be re-plumbed to separate gray water for use. For houses that are on slabs, it is more difficult to separate the sources once the house is built."
If washing machines or other sources are on exterior walls, however, homeowners can plumb through the wall and access that water, he said. However, the gray-water tank must be able to overflow through two black water valves to the onsite wastewater treatment system or municipal sewer to be in compliance with state regulations.
Gray-water systems may be used on all soil types. However, sites with heavy clays will not easily accept water and will tend to be wet during winter months, Lesikar said.
In that case, have a diversion valve at the beginning of the system. This allows the gray water to be diverted to either onsite wastewater treatment systems or city sewers if needed or if conducting maintenance on the system.
Like most everything else, gray-water systems do need routine maintenance, and the solids will have to be removed from the tank periodically, he said.
Wear gloves when working on systems to protect against pathogens, Lesikar cautioned. The diversion valve, though not required by state regulations, will allow water to be diverted into black-water systems and reduce exposure to pathogens.
Tanks and rigid purple pipe may be purchased at plumbing supply stores, he said. However, flexible pipe may have to be painted purple, he said.

Maintain your trees
for the long haul
By Dr. E. Thomas
You've made an investment in your landscape and planted trees that you hope can grow and flourish over time. Don't just walk away and forget them. Once your trees are planted it's important to maintain your investment for optimal results. There are many considerations to keep in mind as trees mature.
Trees are not carrots. Watering of trees is often mismanaged with sometimes disastrous results. Tree roots do not go straight down, but spread horizontally as much as two to three times the height of the tree. As a result, it does little good to water a tree at the base of the trunk. Instead, water should be applied slowly at the dripline for optimum uptake.
Trees are not plastic. They require nutrients for optimum growth and vitality. An undernourished tree is more susceptible to pests and disease, and it will definitely not maintain its shiny leaves like a plastic counterpart. A regular nutritional program will help keep your trees healthy and beautiful. Better yet, a tree care professional can greatly enhance the vitality of your trees by feeding them exactly what they need based on a soil analysis.
Trees are not alone. Part of maintaining a tree is realizing that it exists in a diverse environment where other plants compete for resources such as water, light and nutrients. Undesirable weeds and invasive plant species can divert important resources. Cultural practices such as using mulches to discourage weed establishment can help keep the landscape in balance.
A tree care professional can help provide regular maintenance so you can enjoy what your trees are, rather than what they're not.
Gardening tips
"To propagate my Oak Leaf Hydrangeas Hydrangea quercifolia and Annabelle Hydrangeas Hydrangea arborescens," writes Grenetta Bledsoe, "I like to propagate by simple layering. Simple layering is done by bending a flexible stem or branch to the ground, wounding the under side of the bent branch, applying a rooting hormone (which is helpful in rooting), and then burying the wounded portion into a vertical position in the ground. Hold the branch in place with a rock or peg. (I use a pair of wire cutters and a wire clothes hanger to cut pegs. The corners of the wire clothes hanger make a perfect V shape. One can get two pegs from one wire hanger.) Cover the wounded part of the stem or branch with some soil. Layering is very successful because you are not actually removing the branch from the plant at the time of the layering process. The new plant you are attempting to propagate is still attached to the parent plant so it is being nurtured by the parent plant throughout the entire process. I prefer to do simple layering in early spring, and most of the time, the plant is ready to be removed from the parent plant for transplanting in the fall."

Did you know...
The long living gingko tree was originally prescribed for old people's problems because of its sympathetic association with aging. We now know that tea made from the leaves of the gingko contains chemicals that improve circulation to the brain so more oxygen is delivered and brain function is improved. Some think it could be helpful for Alzheimer's sufferers and may reduce the likelihood of strokes. Since it is also a blood thinner, folks should not use it without a physician's supervision.

JSJ 400: The Influence of JavaScript Jabber
JavaScript Jabber celebrates its 400th episode with former host Dave Smith and some other familiar voices. Each of the panelists talks about what they've been up to. Dave hasn't been on the show for 3 years, but he and Jameson Dance have started a podcast called Soft Skills Engineering where they answer questions about the non-technical side of engineering. When he left the show he was the director of engineering on Hire View, and currently he works for Amazon on Alexa.
Christopher Buecheler has been on several JSJ, RRU, and MJS episodes. His time is divided between contracting for startups and his own company closebrace.com, a tutorial and resource site for JavaScript developers. Dan Shapir has also been on JSJ as a guest, and is currently works for Wix doing performance tech. He enjoys speaking at conferences, such as JS Camp in Bucharest, Romania and the YGLF conference. Steve Edwards was previously on MJS 078. He started on Drupal in the PHP world, switched to JavaScript, and then a few years ago he started looking at Vue. Now he does Vue fulltime for ImageWare Systems.
As for Charles, his primary focus is the podcasts, since DevChat.tv produces around 20 episodes per week. 5 new shows were started in July, and he talks about some of the challenges that that brought. One of his most popular shows recently was JSJ 389: What makes a 10x Engineer? This helped him realize that he wants to help teach people how to be a successful engineer, so he's working on launching a new show about it.
The panelists share some of their favorite JSJ episodes. They discuss the tendency of JSJ to get early access to these fascinating people when the conversation was just beginning, such as the inventor of Redux Dan Abramov, before their rise to stardom. The talk about the rise in popularity of podcasting in general. They agree that even though JavaScript is evolving and changing quickly, it's still helpful to listen to old episodes.
Charles talks about the influence JavaScript Jabber has had on other podcasts. It has spawned several spinoffs, including My JavaScript Story. He's had several hosts start their own DevChat.tv shows based off JavaScript Jabber, including Adventures in Angular and The DevEd Podcast. JavaScript Jabber has also been the inspiration for other podcasts that aren't part of DevChat.tv. There aren't many podcast companies that produce as many shows as they do and they're developing their own tools. DevChat.tv moved off of WordPress and is in the process of moving over to Podwrench. Charles talks about all the new shows that have been launched, and his view on 'competing' podcasts. Charles is also considering doing an audio drama that happens in a programming office, so if you would like to write and/or voice that show, he invites you to contact him.
The show concludes with the panel talking about the projects they've been working on that they want listeners to check out. Christopher invites listeners to check out closebrace.com. He also has plans to write a short ebook on unit testing with jest, considered doing his own podcast, and invites people to check out his fiction books on his website. Dan talks about his involvement with Wix, a drag and drop website service, that recently released a technology called Corvid which lets you write JS into the website you build with Wix. This means you can design your user interface using Wix, but then automate it, add events functionality, etc. Dan is also going to be at the Chrome Dev Summit conference. Dave invites listeners to check out the Soft Skills Engineering podcast, and Charles invites listeners to subscribe to his new site maxcoders.io.

As the bed are expensive to buy as they are simple to build with pallets, put a few pallet skids on the floor and gain lasting wooden beds! Just have a look at this precious DIY platform pallet bed having headboard done with separated pallet pieces and also with nautical rope, comes with amazing lights installed to head-side section that bring a modern furniture air to it! Here skids of pallets have been put flat and have been raised on additional separated dice sections of pallets (the backside pallet planks separated along with cubes) for gaining extra height!
This gives the whole body of the pallet bed and for installing headboard, a hollow square shape frame has been built by using 2 separated pallet dice sections and 2 straight pallet planks, then nautical rope has been used to fill the inside of this headboard frame in art style! Finally the lights have been added in pockets of pallets for precious light spread at night and then foam bed mattress has been placed over, here is your comfy bed done at zero-cost budget plan!
Lighted pallet with a fab touch of nautical rope, helps to enhance the rustic and antique visual of the bed while at the same time the lights bring a modern style to bed!
So, this makes the bed perfect for mid century-modern bed room interiors!
At night the headboard looks on fire due to LED lights inserted in the head section of the bed, this is just an amazing experience to look at!
Finally a thicker white foam mattress have been put over the stacked pallets for a super soft and warm feel of sleeping comfort!
Made by: Eco Friendly, furniture from pallets

Hi! I don't know you as I have only been on ps for a few years but from this post - wow, I think you and I would be fast friends! In my next life, I hope to be Stevie Nicks!As to the style of setting I am looking for, I know I want yellow gold, perhaps with some white gold or platinum accents. I want something that pays homage to antique styles but I do not want something traditional. My current setting is obviously divine. It is a true antique and hand made with the most perfect workmanship I have had the pleasure to witness. But it is very architectural in style. Sharp lines and angles, cool platinum.
This time around I am after something a little more organic and unexpected. As I enter middle age I am trying to embrace an aesthetic I call "Witchy Bog Woman" Think, Stevie Nicks forbidding men from entering her back yard, Galadriel daring you to look into her magic pool, and the Witches of Eastwick ready to curse Jack Nicholson. Now picture that attitude and style as a ring
I'll post some inspiration pics later
Figuring this out is where I am at right now.Count me in! Such a beautiful stone!
Edit...so how big of side stones are you looking for? It could take a while to find a pair that match your stone.
Yes! Those are both beautiful rings. They are both totally a witchy bog woman aesthetic, very Gothic -- as in the tragic romance of the moors and fog and heather in Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights, of courseI think CVB can do "witchy bog style"! Have you seen her latest style with black onyx? This ring belongs to @stonewell..love the combination.
I also love elements of this ring with its extra large talon prongs...Someone has it with the oval stone bezeled in white metal then with the gold prongs coming
over that. Evokes Joan of Arc ...minimal but strong and powerful!
Cant find this one on PS but here it is on IG.
@arkieb1 Thank you for the recommendations! I will follow up!Great to see you again!!! I've Always imagined this stone set in a glorious 3 stone, so can't wait to see what you do with it. Try Adam at OWD and Alex Park on IG....
@Sandeek Um. Hello. Yes to that song thank you very much! Big Eagles fan right here! Have you seen the documentary about their career on Netflix? It's so good! And thank you for your encouragement and suggestions!Woo hoo, witchy woman
See how high she flies
Woo hoo, witchy woman
She got the moon in her eye…
Sorry, I couldn't help the reference to the classic Eagles song...Witchy Woman
Dreamer, I love your ring and stone. You should place a colored stone or *ahem* (moissanite) stone in that beautiful antique setting afterward.
I totally get the vibe you're looking for! I do think CvB would be a good designer for your project and second contacting OWD as he seems to have a large and varied inventory. I look forward to following along on your reset!
@Polished you are positively reading my mind about rubies I have been thinking about options other than diamonds in case it proves too hard to find the kind of diamond cuts I want (or maybe, just because color in my ring would be amazing), and rubies or red spinel are my top top choice. I LOVE red gems next to diamonds! I even ordered a couple of 4mm synthetic rubies from Gem Line to see how they might look!Lovely to see you back Dreamer! I remember you were taking a break from the internet in general which i admired. This seems like the kind of thread where you can go a bit wild even if it doesn't get acted on. Red rubies for the side stones and tragic red velvet for your attire!
@AV_ The rings at that second link are amazing! Lalique really had a vision. But when it comes to bog woman aesthetic, this one is the absolute winner. It is so ugly it is magnificent (from the same IG account).These WWW ?
I love your current setting & the idea of doing a starkly different one now. ('bog ring'? - www & the same institutions documents well the history of diamond cutting up to earlier versions than yours... )
Hi @bling_dream19 I sold my Dream half eternity back in... I dunno... 2012? So I don't think I can help you! Good luck in your search!Hi dreamer_dachsie,
I'm new to PS and found your Dream half eternity on Brian Gavin and I am really interested in that as a set!
I know it has been about 10 years since you had the ring created and I wanted to know how you like it and any changes or adjustments you would make to it?
So sorry if this is not where I should post. Thank you so much for your help. I love your George!
@LLJsmom I feel like we may have crossed paths back in the day, but regardless I am so happy that my ring may have helped inspire you! Your jewels, including your beautiful octagonal bezel, are amazing and I have very much enjoyed touring your treads as I have walked down memory lane the last few weeks! Apparently I have been wanting a three stone for over a decade (judging by my embarassingly-high number of treads I have posted on the topic! lol It seems three stones are having a bit of a renaissance this year and I'm happy to be a part of it. Maybe you will join the convoy tooHi Dreamer, I think I joined just a little before you got busy with other things. I have to say I think I fell in love with George before I knew I had begun.
Your stone and setting burrowed itself deep into my subconscious and I think it inspired my eventual 8 sided setting.
I am excited about your current project and can't wait until you have a finished project. A three stone is just perfect and I have wanted one for a while too. YOur discovery on BN is a treasure. Hope it's a good fit. And I think Caysie will be a great match for your sensibilities. Can't wait!!
It's lovely to see you again, too, @luv2sparkle!@dreamer_dachsie, I am so happy to see you posting again and so very happy that you are on the other side of your illness and on your way to recovering fully. That is the best news. Hope your new project is easy and perfect! Can't wait to see it! Welcome back with big hugs.
Oh ok thanks for letting me know!Hi @bling_dream19 I sold my Dream half eternity back in... I dunno... 2012? So I don't think I can help you! Good luck in your search!

Are there mountain lions in Connecticut? Some residents think so
Do mountain lions live in Connecticut? Some Sharon residents say yes.
Conversely, Connecticut wildlife officials say the wild feline does not live in the Nutmeg State.
This question arose after a reader contacted this newspaper with a forwarded e-mail message with photos contending to be from local residents who say the cat was in their yard.
The person who forwarded the e-mail message to this newspaper, who asked not to be identified, said he was not sure about the accuracy of the claim. The e-mail message includes photographs of a large wild feline standing on a deck; however, the location of this photograph is unable to be determined.
Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection spokesman Dennis Schain dismissed any suggestion that the species lives here.
"There has not ever been any credible evidence of the presence of mountain lions in Connecticut," Schain said.
Nonetheless, DEP officials have received phone calls from people raising this very question within the last two days, he said. After seeing the photographs in question, Schain sent a link to a Cody Wyoming online site that includes the same photos. (http://www.cody-wyoming-network.com/2010/01/mountain-lion-roaming-close-to-casper-mountain-homes)
A phone call made Friday to the Cody, Wyoming, Web site containing these photos didn't clarify things.
Wyoming Game and Wildlife Department officials agreed to look at the photographs but did not expect to be able to determine their source. A department employee said she would see if a Wyoming biologist could help shed light on these photographs.
In Connecticut, some folks in Sharon say they have seen mountain lions.
Robert Tompkins said he saw a mountain lion in Sharon about five years ago. Having spent much time outdoors hunting deer, Tompkins said he "definitely" knows what mountain lions look like.
The animal he saw crossed Route 361 heading toward Indian lake, he said.
"The only reason I know it was a mountain lion is it had a long tail and was red," he said.
Sharon First Selectman Robert Loucks said he has not seen mountain lions in Connecticut. Nevertheless, he does not dismiss the notion that
they exist here.
"I have a feeling they're around, but I want to see them," Loucks said.
His son Jesse has looked into the possibility of the large wild felines living here for years, he said. An effort to reach his son was not successful Friday.
Sharon town secretary Tina Pitcher was not convinced by the Department of Environmental Protection's assertion that mountain lions do not live here.
"You never know," she said. "(The DEP) has been saying that for years. I think they're just afraid that somebody will go out and shoot them."
An effort to reach the person who wrote the e-mail message about the presence of mountain lions in Connecticut was not successful.
Known alternately as cougars, pumas and catamounts, mountains lions used to roam most of North America, according to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service.
Due to human predation, the species has been eliminated from most of its original geographical range, the wildlife service said.
The eastern cougar historically lived from Maine to South Carolina and from Michigan to Tennessee, the wildlife service said. In 1973, the agency added the eastern cougar to the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife. These days, the agency presumes the species is extinct.

CREDIT: AP Photo/Facebook, Alan Brandt Janet Vertesi, assistant professor of sociology at Princeton University, had an idea: would it be possible to hide her pregnancy from big data? Thinking about technology—the way we use it and the way it uses us—is her professional life's work. Here's what she found: hiding from big data is so inconvenient and expensive that even Vertesi doesn't recommend it as a lifestyle choice. Why Google doesn't care about college degrees, in 5 quotes. Google isn't big on college degrees, although the search giant is inundated with applicants touting perfect GPAs from Ivy League schools.
Google's chairman and head of hiring, Laszlo Bock, has given a few insights in the New York Times on how he sorts through a multitude of bright applicants. The upshot is that Google values the skills and experiences that candidates get in college, but a degree doesn't tell them much about talent or grit. You don't need a college degree to be talented "When you look at people who don't go to school and make their way in the world, those are exceptional human beings.
And we should do everything we can to find those people," Bock said. Should We Teach Children Entrepreneurship. Can you teach entrepreneurship?

And if this project needed any more cool points, its creator is 15 years old. In fact, Nathan was even younger when the idea germinated: In 2012, after hearing about a family member in India who lost both forearms, he set out to design a prosthesis of his own. Although he now takes pre-college classes at MIT, Nathan didn't have access to a world-class robotics lab in which to build an artificial arm.

KiddyUp: The Crowdsourcing App That Makes Parenting Easier, And Cheaper. It takes a village to raise a child — an Internet village, that is, according to Zoe Bermant, co-creator of a new Israeli-made app called KiddyUp. "There's lots of information on the Internet there that moms can't get to because they are strapped for time. They can't spend hours doing research. And there are lots of things they would like to do or buy for their kids but can't because they're strapped for cash, and need help finding bargains," said Bermant.
"By bringing all the information, offers, and discounts relevant for moms in one place, KiddyUp makes it easier for moms to raise their families." If there's any market that could be considered mature, it's the one made up of young mothers of infants, toddlers, and early elementary-school age kids.

Increasing reach and participation, mobile bidding auctions increase funds raised by an average of 30% when switching from paper to mobile bidding. Donors bid directly from their mobile devices, then receive instant outbid text notifications taking them back to the item to bid again.
Hosting a silent auction online allows people not physically present at an event to browse, bid, and buy items. More guests at events bid on items because they can do so privately and quickly on their phones without pushing through crowded auction areas.
As planning begins, the collection of items is efficient and documented within the GiveSmart Items Management solution. Direct donors to submit their item images and descriptions right away through your site and manage the donations that come in easily by using the procurement status field. This makes for an easier tracking and creation of your auction items.
Manage your auction items, relevant tax information, images, packages, and bidding activity within your auction catalogue. The GiveSmart platform automatically generates item sheets to display at your event.
Track your event's performance on the admin dashboard utilizing real-time data to look at your financials at any point during your event. After, download a comprehensive overview or specific breakdowns of revenue streams for the event.
"Let me just say what an amazing experience it was working with GiveSmart. Not only did your technology and interface transform our fundraiser, but you and your staff were courteous, knowledgeable and helpful. You made an incredible impact on the night and helped us double our goal. Thank you!!"
— Next Generation Nepal
"As you know this was the first time that our Temple has used a bidding company during our annual auction. I can't tell you how happy I am that we did so. You service is more than efficient and easy to use. Having our auction online made us more money than we would have, had we done the traditional silent auction. Most of all it was all less work for me and I actually got to enjoy the event."
— Temple Beth Sholom
"During my time with LLS, I have not experienced working with a vendor with such a high level of customer service, before, during and after the event! The GiveSmart team enhanced our revenue generation during every process of the event. We continued to use this service with our Man Woman of the Year® campaigns, and look forward to having their services at our upcoming events!"
— Leukemia and Lymphoma Society - National Office
"We were completely thrilled with every way GiveSmart assisted us, from our first phone call to our final closing report. They couldn't have been more pleasant and prompt in responding to our needs. My numerous conversations with our Client Service Specialist, became as comfortable as talking with an old friend. The efficiency, professionalism and overall friendliness of their team was amazing. Our event was a huge financial success with the assistance of GiveSmart."
— Marian Catholic High School
"You and your team at GiveSmart have been a tremendous resource. From the early planning phases to event day GiveSmart has provided us with exceptional support and guidance. At our most important event of the year GiveSmart helped us to deliver a successful auction experience. Please extend our sincere appreciation to your team."

THE BIG EXPERIMENT in collaboration with Damkapellet
Unified in a work commissioned by the Swedish composer Lo Kristenson, the two ensembles Damkapellet and Kvinnoorkestern (SE) meet in an investigative meeting. The realisation of this involves, among other things, an investigative and in-depth work on these issues. How do we value the diversity of the group? How do we create a safe and creative environment? We call the work on these questions the Big Experiment of Damkapellet. The Big Experiment will be performed twice during 2020, in May together with Kvinnoorkestern, and in autumn we invite students from the Royal Danish Academy of Music to play with us.may 31 The Big Experiment @ KLANG – Copenhagen Avantgarde Festival sept 28-30 The Big Experiment Together with RDAM students

Our ambition with the project is to make a new piece together, and at the same time to look closely at the way we do that: can we find working methods that builds on a non hierarchical relationship between musicians and composer? can we let all involved influence all parts of the creative process? what does the traditional roles in music making do to the way we relate to music, and how does the language we use preserve those roles? what role could the score play in a collective non hierarchical method like this?

INSEKT, INSIKT Artipelag June 29 – September 1, 2019
In the exhibition Insect, Insight sculptures by Annika Liljedahl are combined with a sound composition by Lo Kristenson. It grew from a close dialogue between the artists. Both are fascinated by the insect as a metaphor for transformation and survival. The works reflect a strong interest for oppositions and the body's contradictory relationship to society. www.artipelag.se
PULS 2.0 In collaboration with Damkapellet
Damkapellet´s celebration of the 8th of March and International Womens Day 2019 took place in Koncertkirken in Copenhagen in the form of a minifestival. The evening started with Damkapellet´s children performance "Glemte Stemmer" (Hidden voices), followed by a selection of smaller chamber music groups existing within Damkapellet. The evening finished with a piece for string ensemble, Puls 2.0, written by the Swedish composer Lo Kristenson, after a few days in close collaboration with Damkapellet.
"When I collaborate with musicians, I would really like it to be ours, even though it is my material we started out with. Then it becomes something bigger than when it is only me being the composer. The format I'm working with when I write notated music is to leave space for the musicians to affect the music. I never feel 'now I'm done, this production is finished and I can move on'. It's a strong feeling of that the piece keep transforming. Also since I like to focus on interplay and relations in the notation."
Damkapellet is a collective of female musicians that highlights and performs music by female composers from all times.
"We value the diversity of our members and intend to establish an open and safe environment where everyone contributes to the creative process. From our background as classical musicians we have experienced a power structured and gender stereotypical environment. We wish to explore alternative methods by seeking new ways of experiencing and performing music." www.damkapellet.se
COMPOSITION-DUO with Julija MorganJulija Morgan and Lo Kristenson have collaborated in various constellations since 2015 when Lo composed the piece Vridna, Vågsång in close collaboration with, among others, Julija. In 2018 they began to explore different ways of combining graphic scores with other notations, for music with a more free form. Nattljus – drawings for bowed piano quintet was created in the summer of 2018 in a collaboration between Julija Morgan and Lo Kristenson. Together they have entered a new room based on ink landscapes and friction in sound. The composition is based on one of Julija's drawings that also appears in the graphic score.

Blogging is one of the most valuable tools that businesses have to engage with customers. A blog positions you as a knowledge expert and allows you to share the knowledge, opinions and expertise that are relevant to your industry.
Creating blog content increases the likelihood of your website being found in a search engine query. Why is that? Well, think about how often you update your website – probably not all that often. But every time you write a blog post, you are creating a new indexed page on your website and that's one more cue for Google (or whatever search engine is looking) that your website is active. Every new indexed page is one more opportunity for your website to show up in an organic search.
Aside from being discovered by search engines, a blog also helps you get discovered via social media. Every time you write a blog post, you can share it on your social media sites – Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Google+, Pinterest, etc. – and every one of your friends or followers can not only click on the link to read your post but can also share it with their friends and followers, exposing your business to a new audience that doesn't yet know you.
Between the two, the blog is a powerful marketing tool that positions your business as authentic and knowledgeable.
So, if you're not blogging, it's time to get started or get left behind.
