Write. If you want to be a writer, you have to write. That's the advice everybody gives. Make writing a habit. Aim for writing 2000 words a day. Use NaNoWriMo to help push you into this habit. If this is hard for you–so the advice often goes–then you're just not "meant" to be a writer. Someone who truly wanted to be a writer would do it no matter what, right?
Yeah, that's bullshit.
Some people are going to have amazing stories inside of them and the potential for great talent once they hone their skills, but the actual writing is hard. Maybe you're depressed. Maybe you have PTSD. Maybe you're on the autism spectrum. Maybe you're trapped in poverty and can't get your head out of the panic loop of how you'll pay the gas bill next month. But you still want to write. Telling our stories shouldn't just be the domain for people who are secure enough and supported enough that they can decide to make writing a habit and all the effort necessary was making that decision.
This is a guide for people who struggle to get the writing done. If you don't struggle and this advice doesn't apply to you, awesome. You're lucky. Please don't assume that those who do struggle are lazy or lack talent, okay? Cool.
To start with, are you okay? Do you feel like shit? Take care of yourself as much as possible first. It sucks that so many of us have a tax on our time and energy just to function, but neglecting ourselves and ignoring bad feelings won't make it better.
This is where you're going to start once your immediate safety and comfort are dealt with. When you feel conflicted or unmotivated about writing, make note of it and make note of what happened just before that feeling. If something is worrying you or you're distracted, write it down. It only has to be detailed enough for you to keep track of what's getting in your way. When you want to write but can't, make note of that too. Just get a good record going so that you can see where your biggest problems are. Don't beat yourself up over your inability to write. Just find out why it's difficult, to the best of your ability.
Time Management
Managing your time can be incredibly difficult. Maybe you work. Maybe you have kids. Maybe you're disabled. Maybe all three, plus some other concerns. Your time is nibbled away at, leaving you with limited opportunities to write and limited energy. The journaling can help identify places where you could make more time, but there are some things you just can't cut back on. You'll have to manage your time carefully, then:
- Set a timer to write for a small chunk of time. Apps like Strict Workflow are useful for this. Keep your writing periods between 15 and 30 minutes at a time. Stretch for a minute or two before continuing into the next period. If you're physically able to stand, do so. Even if you've set aside hours to write, take the breaks.
- Keep track of your output with your journal. Find what a reasonable output is for you in each of these writing periods. Whether you can write 70 words or 700 during a period, it really doesn't matter. This isn't a race. Find what you can comfortably do and make that your goal for each period.
- Divide your work up. If you have to do research or outline or any other preparation work, set up periods for those activities. Time yourself just as you would with writing, to limit obsessive preparation. Recognize your needs and fulfill them to the best of your ability.
- If you have trouble with multitasking or switching gears between activities, don't. Have a research day. Have an outlining day. Have a writing day. Keep yourself focused in the way that works for you.
- Make checklists so you can see your progress and know where you are. Checklists for things you need to research, for chapters, for events that have to take place in the story, are all good. Don't spend too much time on creating the checklists, however, as this can keep you from getting your work done. If you're prone to procrastination or obsessive behaviors, set a timer for writing your checklists to self-limit the activity.
Dealing with Distraction
Limiting distractions can help immensely, especially if you have a condition that might enhance your response to them, like anxiety or ADD. Your journal and using timer apps will hopefully help you manage internal distractions, but our external environment matters a great deal as well. Here are some methods to aid in concentration:
- Create a sacred space. If you can have a home office with a closing door (or, hell, a closet you can fit a chair and a laptop into), awesome. Good for you. If you can't, ritualizing your space can help. Pick the most secluded writing spot that you possibly can, even if circumstances still make it less than ideal, and then have a rug or another marker to lay down in your space while you're using it. Create a visual barrier that separates your writing space from everything else. Only use your marker when you're utilizing the writing space for work, to enhance the connection in your head.
- Keep your sacred writing space clean.
- Take breaks between timed work periods, as mentioned in the last section. When we get fatigued, we're more likely to lose our concentration.
- Structure your schedule so that the most difficult tasks you have to take care of (research, an especially trying or triggering scene, whatever needs all your attention) can be done when you have the most energy and the least chance of being interrupted.
- Turn off the Internet or use an app that will block access during writing periods.
- If it's safe to do so, turn off your phone. If you can't, only answer text messages or calls related to emergencies or the specific reason you can't turn off your phone.
- Reduce auditory distractions:
- Use a noise canceling headset or earbuds to play music. Choose music you know won't catch your attention, like stuff without lyrics or stuff with lyrics you know so well you don't have to think about them. (Old pop music is my go-to on this one.)
- If you use hearing aids, consider removing them while you write.
- If you have a white noise machine or can invest in one, turn it on when you're in your writing space.
- Choose a space as far from audible distractions as possible.
- If you can, rearrange rooms to minimize audible distractions near your writing space.
- Reduce visual distractions:
- If you can't have an office or some other enclosed space, you can also create one. Cubicle walls, a hanging sheet, a giant cardboard box around you and your computer, whatever the hell you can come up with that feels comfortable.
- Try to choose a spot for your writing space that's away from visual distractions.
- If you can, rearrange rooms to minimize visual distractions near your writing space.
Remembering What to Do
If this isn't something you struggle with, this might be an unfamiliar idea, but for a lot of people it can be difficult to remember what they need to do. They'll get distracted when they go to the bathroom and start a new task, or illness or medication makes their head so foggy they have a nagging feeling there's something that needs to get done, but they'll be damned if they know what it is. Experiencing this doesn't make you a bad person or one incapable of writing. It's simply another difficulty to be dealt with. These steps may help with this:
- Utilize checklists, as mentioned in the time section. This way you'll know what you've already done and what you need to do next.
- Use visual reminders, like the sacred writing space rug. Sticky notes or note cards can help you keep on top of where you are if you've gotten distracted. This is why walls–or even temporary walls–around your space can be doubly helpful. You can use them to hold reminders of where you are in your project.
- Color code your notes and other materials, to make it easier to see what tasks go together.
- Set aside a little bit of time for your journaling to keep track of where you are, how you're doing and ideas you might not be able to use right now. You can refer back to it to remind yourself.
- Set up reminders and alarms for when you want to do your writing, so you don't forget and skip.
- Don't rely entirely on digital notes, as these won't remind you if you don't remember to check them in the first place. Have reminders in your physical space, where you're likely to encounter them even when you aren't actively thinking of them. If you're visually impaired, jewelry or other tactile reminders might be useful.
Creating Routine
For many people, routine is difficult. A cranky infant that needs to be cared for doesn't know you've decided to write during nap time. Maybe you're on call for work at all hours. Maybe your work schedule changes constantly, flipping you from day to swing to graveyard with little warning. Maybe you're seriously ill and never know when you'll have a good day or a bad day. Do the best you can and be kind to yourself when things don't go according to plan. Some of these ideas may help:
- Have set spots for certain items, especially those related to childcare, work, leaving the house, and writing. This will reduce time and stress spent looking for them.
- Plan ahead however far you can, while recognizing that plans may change. If you can only plan ahead as far as the next day, do it. If you have a pretty good idea of what will happen every day but there's always the chance of something messing it up, create a plan with flex time built into it for dealing with unexpected events.
- Bank time. If your schedule allows you to spend hours in the kitchen one day a week, plan a bunch of meals for the rest of the week that you can prepare and freeze ahead of time. If you have some time but can't focus on writing, find another task that you can focus on. Get it done, so you have that time free later.
Be good to yourself. Recognize that you deserve care. You deserve time to work on things that matter to you. Be kind to yourself. Caring for yourself is just as important as any other activity when it comes to your writing. More specifically:
- Practice self-compassion. Write these exercises down if necessary. If you have a really hard time remembering to think kindly about yourself, get creative in your reminders. Put a notecard with an exercise on it on the ceiling above your bed. Put one in the fridge. Write them down on your thighs so you see them when you sit on the toilet.
- Eat well, to the best of your ability. Try to schedule eating at least a little something every four hours.
- Keep journaling. Take note of the emotional triggers that make it difficult to write and see what you can do to soothe yourself from them or avoid them entirely.
- Dismiss the advice you don't need. If steps offered in this guide are more extreme than you need, don't follow them. Just remember that people with value to their voices might need them. It doesn't make anyone "better" or more "professional" just because they don't have certain stumbling blocks in their path.
- Don't let self-soothing activities become unhealthy, such as spending hours playing games when you need to do other things. You can use your timer apps to keep track of leisure time, too. By ensuring you do have time to relax but that you don't let it take over your life, you can reduce a lot of stress.
- Don't push yourself past your limits to match the expectations of others. If you're so overwhelmed that you can only manage to write for fifteen minutes every week before you have to breathe deep and ward off a panic attack, then write for fifteen minutes a week. Just do what you can and keep writing. Don't worry if people tell you that you need to write every day to be a writer: they're wrong.
- Read. Watch TV. Enjoy life.
And the final bit of advice: Write.

Newsweek looked back on the year with a collection of their best previously published comics and quotes. Among them is this:
"I'm proud of shows like 'Baywatch' and 'Knight Rider' because it's about saving lives, not taking lives. It's entertainment, it's tongue in cheek, it brings the world together. I think it's responsible for a lot of world peace." - David Hasselhoff, on his artistic legacy, while accepting the Bollywood movie award for international star of the year
Although I'm sure Newsweek was sort of mocking the quote, by publishing it again they're showing how much influence Hasselhoff has worldwide.

I have ordered trees from six other nurseries over the past fifteen years. I have stopped this since I started ordering from you. I have recommended you to many and know of at least five that have ordered from you.
Our neighbors and friends were really impressed with the trees and how healthy they were and size. We referred them to you for Spring 2016.
Just very pleased with the site, selection, delivery, and communication. Thanks!
Your seedlings have a higher survival percentage than those from any other source I use. Kudos!
I have already planned purchases for spring 2016 and have also recommended you to others.
My husband and I have been very satisfied with your company. The pines we have ordered the last 2 years have been the best we have ever bought.

Day 3 was a bit more relaxed for us after our whirlwind Ghostbusters Friday.
When not demoing games, we took a little break to walk the Exhibit Hall to see what we could find.
Our pals over at LooneyLab were promoting their hit game Fluxx! We partnered up with them to create Batman Fluxx.
We also stopped by the Diamond Previews booth and saw they were displaying some of our upcoming releases!
I was lucky enough to score some tickets to The Nerdist Podcast with Chris Hardwick. Now, some of you may know that during the Kickstarter campaign, Ghostbusters was featured on their website. As a token of our appreciation, I brought some of the miniatures we had received to give to him as a gift. I was lucky enough to give them to him myself! He loved them. I also managed to get Jonah Ray to reenact his Fey Ticklebottom impression from the Epic Spell Wars episode of TableTop with Wil Wheaton.
Check out our day 4 recap here.

Centro di Ricerca Codivilla-Putti
via di Barbiano, 1/10
40136 Bologna (Italy)
The word tribology was first used in a landmark report by Jost as referenced by Bhushan. The etymology has to be referred to the Greek term tribos meaning rubbing, so that literally this would signify "the science of rubbing". The equivalent ordinary English language is "friction and wear". The Oxford dictionary defines tribology as the science and technology of interacting surfaces in relative motion and of related subjects and practices. Tribology as a science succeeds in applying effective analysis to solve problems of great economic significance for social communities, that is, reliability, maintenance, and wear of technical equipment, ranging from spacecraft to medical devices. Interest in the essential parts of tribology is older than recorded history. It is well-known that drills made during the Palaeolithic period for drilling holes or producing fire were fitted with bearings made from antlers or bones, and potters' wheels or stones for grinding cereals, had preferable requirement for some form of bearings.
This science includes different disciplines such as friction, lubrication theory and technique, study and use of lubricants, microscopic and macroscopic theories of wear, study and use of wear resistant materials.
In particular, friction comes into play in the production processes and influence forces, powers, in play, consumption and quality of the parts. The wear changing surfaces and geometries of moulds and tools determining the consistency and quality of the geometries produced. Finally, the lubrication in the production processes is essential both in the manufacturing operations and in the operation of the machines.
In the orthopaedics field, wear of the prosthesis is a significant clinical problem that involves, today, too many patients.
In total hip/knee replacement, improving the quality and outcomes in patients requires careful evaluation of the clinical data available, in order to fully assess the existing strengths and weaknesses. Holders of arthroplasty have become and continue to become younger. Each year runs over a million total hip and knee arthroplasty. This implies that the implants and materials used must be highly qualitative, in particular as regards resistance to wear. The total joint arthroplasty should be based on clinical trials in order to obtain the best possible results.
In this regard, the research group of tribology conducts basic research and industrial use of simulators wear. In this way they are used protocols that allow to replicate/simulate particularly extreme conditions, thus establishing the limits of performance for the material.
There are several reports on the wear rates of different combinations: ceramic/polyethylene vs. metal/polyethylene. The cross-linked polyethylene achieved good results in both combinations. Undoubtedly, the surface roughness of a material is an indication of a good wear behaviour or not. The roughness is less for the ceramic-on-ceramic bearing.
The section of Tribology runs wear tests on medical devices for both hip or knee such as: ceramic-on-ceramic; metal-on-metal; metal-on-polyethylene; ceramic-on-polyethylene.
Other tests/set-up on other medical devices (ankle, shoulder, etc.) could be negotiated in order to define a protocol.
The group of Tribology has participated as a partner in several national and European projects. It should be emphasized, in particular, the participation in:
- BIOKER, GROWTH 2000, Contract nº G5RD-2000-00483.
- NANOKER, INTEGRATED PROJECT, Contract nº FP6-515784-2.

Madhubala Ek Ishq Ek Junoon is one show that has been ruling the TRP chart on Colors since its very start. The chemistry between the lead stars Drashti Dhami as Madhubala and Vivian Dsena as Rishabh Kundra have won many hearts. The show felt it was getting dragged but wanted to get more eyeballs, so it took a 20 year leap killing the vivacious couple.
Post their death, Drashti Dhami was shown in different light as Madhubala's daughter, names Madhubala again. She came to Mumbai to earn a living for the treatment for her Dida's (Radha) TB illness. She meets the man of her dreams, the superstar Abhay Kapoor and falls in love with him. The goodness of Madhubala attracts Abhay and he decides to get married to her.
At the time of marriage, Abhay gets shocked to know that Madhubala is Rishabh's daughter, the man who is responsible for his dad's death. Abhay changes his mind to marry her as his mind fills with revenge. He makes Madhubala marry the mentally challenged Raju (RK's look alike). Then starts the game of good versus evil.
Abhay tries hard to bring troubles in Madhubala's life but fails every time. Madhubala gets a good friend in her husband Raju and decides to make him mentally fine. The current track of the serial shows Raju getting fine and tackling Abhay.

Famous brands that utilize black in their logos and marketing are Blackberry, Tiffany & Co., Apple, Disney, Nike, Gillette, Adidas, Sony, Ralph Lauren, and MTV. Besides being sleek, black is versatile and can be combined with any other color. A Preference for Black People's preference for certain colors is based on a whole host of factors such as environment, personality, experience, economic status, and upbringing. One recent study on color preference in adults found that out of 18 total colors, including no preference, black ranked number 13 as adults' favorite color overall. However, when it comes to clothing, black was ranked as the number one favorite color for both genders combined. Interestingly, black got first place because 40 percent of the females chose black as number one compared to only 16 percent of males, who ranked it as their fourth favorite clothing color.

*Since a translator was not available for the strange dialect of "English" spoken in the deep south, this is a scientific wild ass guess of what was said from those interviewed.
It is no secret that a common Southern past time is shooting small-caliber firearms at unsuspecting street signs. This creates a rough, tough and careless look to the signs in order for them to blend in with the culture they are surrounded with. In the early hours last Saturday a bizarre and unique event transpired; the signs shot back. "I was jus' shoot'n at dem signs thur an they done shot back't me…damn'dst thing" said Billy Joe Rupkin. Rupkin was taking his usual Saturday evening ride with his friends down the lonesome Route 47 when he took aim at a typical street sign. Seconds after he fired his 12-gauge shotgun round at the sign it retorted by reflecting all of the shot directly back to the truck Rupkin was riding in. Befuddled, the group of simple-minded bandits scattered, deserting the truck and blaming the entire happening on "da devil." The 50 MPH sign at mile marker 62 on Route 47 had this to say "It's clearly self defense. What else would you do if someone drove by every week and shot at you multiple times with a shotgun? I bet you'd be pissed too!" This form of violence has caught the local authorities by surprise. "Who do we charge? And with what?" commented Sheriff Tim McMahon. "We can't charge dem boys for shootin' at dat sign but we can't charge an imasdfasdfljasdflkjasdf (inanimate) object with anything but self-defense. We're about as screwed as a jack rabbit up bear hole." Although the origins of this saying are lost and no logical sense can be made of it, the Sheriff does make a valid point. What do you charge these painted, metal vigilantes with? So for the foreseeable future, many Tennessee counties are stationing rookie officers near these rural signs as a part of a special task force aptly dubbed C.A.S.P. or "Crazy Ass Sign Patrol".

1. Main points
Productivity measures based on the UK Tourism Satellite Account show that tourism productivity growth was higher than non-tourism productivity growth between 2008 and 2013.
Labour productivity measures based on jobs and hours worked for the accommodation industry show a rise in productivity in 2014 and 2015.
The labour productivity of sports activities peaks in Quarter 3 (July to Sep) 2012 which coincides with the Olympics.Back to table of contents
2. Introduction
What is productivity?
Productivity can be defined as the rate of output per unit of input used, expressed as a ratio of the 2 components. Productivity is an important metric in formulating and assessing government policy, as it helps define both the scope for raising living standards and the competitiveness of the economy.
Based on the above definition, each productivity statistic has 2 components: an input and an output. The input is usually one of labour (for example, the number of jobs), raw materials (in some industries), capital or a combination of all three. The output is usually either: total output (in manufacturing this could be the number of products produced); gross value added (GVA); or gross domestic product (GDP).
The changes in productivity over time are typically shown using calculated indices of productivity. The charts in this article will also show productivity growth using calculated indices. The base year of the index will be stated in each chart.
The productivity of tourism
Previous estimates of productivity in tourism (and creative industries) produced by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS), found that between 2000 and 2007 there had been productivity growth in the tourism and leisure industries. This resulted from increased output (GVA) for the combined sector and by steady employment levels (input). There was little information within the report on the different industries that make up the tourism sector, however, and this article aims to address this. The DCMS report is available on the GOV.UK website. These estimates are no longer produced and there has been little independent research and analysis produced about the productivity of tourism in the UK since.
We aim to address this deficit of information about the productivity of tourism in the UK. The article details the estimates of tourism productivity produced by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) as part of this study, which was commissioned by DCMS.
Detailed in this article are 2 methods that can be used to produce estimates of the productivity of tourism in the UK:
annual productivity metrics based on the UK Tourism Satellite Account (UK-TSA), 2008 to 2013 using tourism direct gross value added (TDGVA) and tourism direct jobs
quarterly labour productivity metrics based on measures of labour productivity used by ONS, Quarter 1 (Jan to Mar) 2008 to Quarter 4 (Oct to Dec) 2015 for selected industry divisions (Standard Industrial Classification 2007 (SIC2007) 2 digit level); this does not include an overall index of productivity for tourism but does provide more detail on the industries that provide goods and services to tourists on a quarterly basis
This article will first outline the results of the productivity analysis based on these 2 measures, then compare and highlight the main differences in the 2 approaches and then further discuss the methodology behind both approaches of productivity estimates in more detail.Back to table of contents
3. Tourism Satellite Account productivity measures
The Tourism Intelligence Unit at the Office for National Statistics (ONS) has produced a UK-TSA for each year from 2008 to 2013. The latest release can be found on our website. The TSA consists of 7 tables containing important tourism aggregate measures for 11 tourism characteristic industries (as defined by the UN World Tourism Organisation; details can be found in Annex A, including their make-up of Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes), which can be used to produce an overall tourism productivity estimate.
A productivity statistic requires an input and an output. The components of this productivity estimate are the following:
- input: the number of jobs directly attributable to tourism (tourism direct jobs)
- output: the gross value added (GVA) directly attributable to tourism (tourism direct GVA (TDGVA))
For comparison purposes, estimates for non-tourism (or other) industries have been produced. The components for this measure are the number of jobs (input) and GVA (output) not attributable to tourism.
It should be noted that the TDGVA and GVA estimates used are in current prices and therefore are not adjusted for inflation.
Figure 1 compares tourism productivity with the productivity of non-tourism industries. The immediate effect of the economic downturn is seen in the slight decline in productivity of non-tourism industries between 2008 and 2009, whilst the productivity of tourism in the UK saw an increase over this period. The chart shows that the productivity of tourism increases more rapidly in comparison with other industries. However, the productivity of other industries grows sharply between 2012 and 2013 whereas tourism productivity growth decreases. The productivity of tourism in the UK was at its highest in 2012 – the year of the London Olympics, caused by a large increase in TDGVA and a steady increase in the number of jobs.

The UK-TSA tables contain a breakdown of 11 tourism characteristic industries. The remainder of this section compares different tourism characteristic industries with the productivity of tourism as a whole and the productivity of non-tourism industries.
The productivity estimates for each tourism characteristic industry are calculated with the following components:
- input: the number of jobs directly attributable to the specific tourism characteristic industry
- output: the TDGVA directly attributable to the specific tourism characteristic industry
Figure 2 examines the productivity growth of 2 tourism sectors: accommodation services for visitors and food and beverage serving activities, in comparison with the productivity growth of tourism and non-tourism industries.
Food and beverage serving activities follow a similar productivity growth to the whole tourism sector, although there are slight fluctuations year on year.
However, the growth of productivity in accommodation services for visitors is not as straightforward. Productivity grows between 2008 and 2010, declines in 2011, increases again in 2012 – the year of the Olympics (although the peak is not as high as 2010), then declines to pre-downturn levels in 2013. From further exploring the data, TDGVA follows a general upwards trend (with the exception of a peak in 2009); however, the number of jobs directly attributable to tourism fluctuates year on year, which causes the peaks and troughs in the productivity of accommodation services for visitors. This could be due to the part-time nature of many jobs in this sector.

Figure 3 shows the change in productivity of travel agencies and other reservation activities; exhibitions and conferences etc; cultural activities; and sport and recreation activities, compared with the productivity growth of tourism and non-tourism characteristic activities.
There is steady productivity growth of cultural activities until 2011 when productivity declines.
The productivity growth of travel agencies and other reservation activities steadily grows.
There is a slight growth in productivity of sport and recreation activities between 2008 and 2009, before a sharp decline in 2010. There is a slow increase in productivity after that. A sharper rise may have been expected given the Olympics in 2012, but instead growth remains fairly flat between 2011 and 2013 and productivity is lower than in 2008.
The productivity growth of exhibitions and conferences etc is at a lower level than tourism and non-tourism industries throughout the time period. Productivity declines between 2008 and 2010, increases in 2011 before steadily decreasing until 2013. Productivity in this industry was at its highest level in 2008, then falls following the economic downturn.

Figure 4 shows the productivity over time of different modes of passenger transport used by tourists, compared with the growth of productivity of tourism and non-tourism industries. As seen in the chart, the productivity growth of transport passenger services is a different picture to growth in other tourism characteristic industries and indeed tourism as a whole.
The productivity of railway passenger transport services is generally increasing at a much faster rate in comparison with non-tourism and tourism industries as a whole, with the exception of a slight dip in 2012 which was caused by the number of tourism direct jobs increasing at a larger rate than the increase of TDGVA in this industry.
Road passenger transport services productivity increases and peaks in 2011, before declining in 2012 and returning to its highest level of productivity in 2013. Initially the productivity growth was caused by increasing TDGVA and a decrease in the number of tourism direct jobs, but in 2012 there was an increase in jobs directly attributable to tourism alongside a decrease in TDGVA, causing the decline in productivity. There was also a decrease in TDGVA in 2013 but a larger decrease in jobs in the industry, which caused productivity to increase. Growth of productivity in road passenger transport services was always at a faster rate in comparison with tourism as a whole.
The productivity of UK-based water passenger transport services (for example, inland and coastal passenger ferry services) declines in 2009 which was due to a large decrease of TDGVA produced by this industry. However, productivity recovers and grows extremely quickly, mostly caused by increasing TDGVA which is matched by only a slight increase in tourism direct jobs in this industry. Between 2008 and 2011, the productivity growth of this specific tourism industry is below the tourism industries as a whole, but in 2012 productivity grows and increases at a faster rate than the productivity of tourism. Between 2008 and 2013, the productivity of water passenger transport services had grown by over 86%, despite the initial decrease.
The productivity in air passenger transport services fluctuates. There is a decline in productivity in 2009, and then productivity grows until 2011, before there is a decline in 2012 and a final increase in 2013. Over the time period there is a slight increase in productivity growth of 14.6%, almost exactly the same as the overall productivity growth of tourism as a collection of industries. The fluctuations in productivity are caused by changes year on year in the number of tourism direct jobs and TDGVA.

4. Labour productivity measures
The following productivity measure is indexed to 2012=100, in line with published labour productivity metrics. Conclusions drawn, therefore, reflect the productivity growth (also referred to as output per job or hour worked) before and after 2012.
A productivity statistic requires an input and an output. The components of this productivity estimate are the following:
- input: "productivity jobs" or "productivity hours worked"
- output: the gross value added (GVA) attributable to the tourism characteristic industry (2 digit SIC)
This produces 2 measures: output per job and output per hour worked. As stated in Labour Productivity: Oct to Dec 2015 release, the output per hour worked is the preferred productivity measure. This is because the productivity hours component is more comprehensive compared with productivity jobs as it is able to reflect full- and part-time working, which jobs is not.
The estimates presented here are for industry divisions that cover the industries that provide goods and services to tourists, for example, accommodation services, food and drink serving activities, and passenger transport services. All estimates in this section are seasonally adjusted.
Please also note that throughout this section, Q1 refers to Quarter 1 January to March, Q2 Quarter 2 April to June, Q3 Quarter 3 July to September and Q4 Quarter 4 October to December.
Figure 5 shows the output per job of accommodation services for visitors and food and beverage serving activities.
The output per job in food and beverage serving activities is at the highest point in 2008 Q1, then it decreases (with some fluctuation) until 2010 Q1, which could be the effect of the economic downturn. Output per job then begins to increase (from 2010 Q1) with a sharp peak in 2010 Q3 and a steady upwards growth to peaks in 2012 Q2 and Q3, coinciding with the Olympics. Productivity largely declines through 2013. In 2015, the output per job in the sector continues to decline, due to increases in employment not matched by growth in GVA.
However, it is a different story for accommodation services for visitors. Between 2008 and 2012, there is a general increase in the output per job, with a sharp productivity peak in 2010 Q1 (caused by an increase in GVA and decrease in jobs). There is a decline in output per job in 2012 Q2 but then output per job increases, with a sharp peak in 2013 Q2 (caused by an increase in GVA) followed by a dip to 2014 Q1, then output per job continues to grow, with a sharp increase between Q2 and Q4 of 2015.

Figure 6 shows the output per hour worked of accommodation services for visitors and food and beverage serving activities. The growth in both industries is broadly similar to the growth of output per job. The main difference occurs in food and beverage serving industries when at the end of 2015, output per hour worked increases but the general trend is downwards from 2012 overall.

Figure 7 shows the output per job of the following industries: creative, arts and entertainment activities; libraries, archives, museums and other cultural activities; gambling and betting activities; and sport activities and amusement and recreation activities.
The productivity of creative, arts and entertainment activities generally increases from 2008 to 2012, with peaks and troughs – the highest peak being in 2011 Q2 and the lowest trough in 2008 Q4 (where the effects of the economic downturn would be most prevalent). Since 2012, there has been a general decline in productivity growth, again with a few peaks and troughs. However, in 2015 there was an increase in productivity. Overall this suggests that over 2011 and 2012, productivity in this industry was at its highest. There are, however, signs of productivity growth in 2015, returning to 2010 levels.
Libraries, archives, museums and other cultural activities have a steady increase (with fluctuations) in productivity between 2008 and 2012, with the lowest productivity being in 2008 Q1. There was a slight dip in 2008 Q4 (downturn effects can be seen) but the industry then recovers and continues the upwards trend. In 2013, the growth of productivity sharply increases until 2013 Q3 when a decline in productivity growth appears, although the industry has a higher level of productivity (compared with 2012) until 2014 Q4. A decline is evident between 2013 Q3 until 2015 Q2, however, throughout the rest of 2015 the industry sees a further growth in productivity.
Productivity in gambling and betting activities declines until 2012, after which growth remains fairly flat until it begins to increase again in 2013. Productivity growth slows in 2015. This increase could be due to an increase in online sport betting since 2012.
The productivity growth of sports activities and amusement and recreation activities fluctuates between increases and decreases until a sharp peak in 2012 Q3, expected due to the London Olympics. In 2012 Q4, productivity decreased and has remained fairly steady at that level, until further decreasing in 2014 Q4.

Figure 8 shows the output per hour worked of the following industries: creative, arts and entertainment activities; libraries, archives, museums and other cultural activities; gambling and betting activities; and sport activities and amusement and recreation activities. The trends are largely the same as with the output per job in these industries.

Output per job and output per hour worked in transport services (road, rail, air, water and transport rental) are not examined in the content of this release. This is because a large proportion of their output is related non-tourism activity, for example, freight activities. Therefore, drawing conclusions based on the high-level aggregates would not be a sound conclusion on the productivity of the tourism-related travel industry (largely passenger services).
However, the Tourism Satellite Account provides an estimate of GVA for the transport industries, which is directly attributable to tourism. These estimates were used in the previous section to produce productivity estimates for the services that transport industries provide to passengers.Back to table of contents
5. A comparison of tourism productivity measures
This section aims to compare the 2 productivity methodologies and highlight the main differences.
The most noticeable difference is that the Tourism Satellite Account (TSA) productivity measure uses components that are directly attributable to tourism, whereas the labour productivity estimates are based on inputs and outputs of tourism industries.
Also, the labour productivity estimates are non-additive (cannot be summed together), so a whole tourism productivity figure is not straightforward to calculate, which is a disadvantage in terms of deriving a single measure of the productivity of tourism. The industry classes we have data for (SIC 2 digit) also include non-tourism activities and are therefore not wholly tourism related industries. This is not an issue for the TSA-based methodology.
Using the TSA productivity methodology, a whole tourism productivity figure can be calculated and compared with a non-tourism industries figure, calculated using the same methodology. This enables a comparison and puts the metrics into context.
In the TSA productivity measure, the tourism direct gross value added (GVA) (output) component is in current prices. This means that it is not adjusted for inflation which would affect the tourism direct GVA (TDGVA) and thus impact the growth of productivity in tourism industries.
An advantage to using labour productivity estimates is the timeliness, in comparison with the TSA productivity measures. The TSA relies on data in the Blue Book, which is unavailable until 18 months after the reference year. This incurs a time delay in the production of the account and thus productivity measure. However, the labour productivity estimates can be produced 2 months after the latest quarter.Back to table of contents
6. Methodology of tourism satellite account productivity
As previously mentioned, the Tourism Satellite Account (TSA) consists of 7 tables. The tables contain metrics for 11 industries that are considered tourism characteristic industries (definition from the UN World Tourism Organisation); more detail of these industries can be found in Annex A. For further detail, the methodology behind the TSA can be found in the Tourism Satellite Account: Recommended Methodological Framework, 2008 . In terms of productivity estimates, the tables required are Tables 5, 6 and 7.
TSA Table 5 uses Input-Output Supply and Use Tables (from the National Accounts framework) to provide estimates of the total gross value added (GVA) for each tourism-related industry. TSA Table 6 provides tourism ratios: the proportion of a tourism-related industry's output that is directly accounted for by the expenditure of tourists. The TSA Table 7 uses Workforce Jobs data to provide estimates of the total number of jobs in the 11 tourism characteristic industries and non-tourism industries.
The estimates provided in these tables can be used as statistics for each tourism characteristic industry separately and they can be summed to provide an estimate for tourism-related industries as a whole.
However, the GVA for each tourism industry (GVATI) does not differentiate between spend by residents or tourists. For example, residents use food and beverage serving activities (restaurants, pubs etc) as well as tourists. Applying the tourism ratio (from TSA Table 6) to the GVATI for each industry enables the calculation of TDGVA (tourism direct GVA, as mentioned previously).
Again, the Workforce Jobs estimates in Table 7 are calculated for each tourism characteristic industry. Applying the tourism ratio (from TSA Table 6) to these estimates gives the number of jobs in these industries that are directly attributable to tourism (tourism direct employment, as mentioned previously).
Note that the total employment in other (non-tourism) industries figures, found in TSA Table 7, for 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 have been revised to align with a new, more comprehensive methodology used to produce these estimates in 2013. This balances the totals to our preferred measure of jobs – the Workforce Jobs series rather than totals for individual components such as employees and self-employed from other ONS surveys. They were revised for the purpose of this article, to produce a consistent productivity measure. The total employment figures will therefore not match the figures in previous Tourism Satellite Accounts.
As stated before, please note that each TSA is produced with regards to a reference year so it should be noted that all GVA figures used are in current prices and therefore are not adjusted for inflation.
When calculating the productivity statistic using the TSA tables, there are 2 options for inputs and 2 options for outputs. These are displayed in Table 1.
Table 1: Components that could be used in a productivity measure
|Measure 1
|Tourism direct (TD) jobs
|Tourism direct GVA
|Measure 2
|Tourism industries (TI) jobs
|Tourism industries GVA
|Source: Office for National Statistics
Download this table.xls
The preferred measure is using tourism direct GVA and tourism direct employment, as this is based on GVA and jobs directly attributable to tourism, rather than to the industries it is compiled of.
Figure 9 shows the productivity over time of tourism industries' jobs and GVA and tourism direct jobs and TDGVA. It can be seen that the measures broadly follow the same pattern. The estimates using the tourism industries (TI) measure has a sharper increase between 2008 and 2009 and the estimates using tourism direct (TD) figures show a decrease between 2012 and 2013. The dip in productivity using TD figures in 2013 is explained by a steady increase of tourism employment (4.7%) but the increase in TDGVA (2.9%) between 2012 and 2013 does not match this increase, causing a decline in productivity growth. Overall, these are only slight differences.

Download this chartImage .csv .xls
As seen in Figure 9 both measures follow broadly the same pattern. Therefore the measure used as the Tourism Satellite Account productivity measure is made up of the following components:
- input: the number of jobs directly attributable to tourism
- output: the GVA directly attributable to tourism
7. Methodology of labour productivity
The basic definition of labour productivity can be summarised as follows:
Productivity = Output / Input
Or expressed in formula:
Productivity = Output / Input
Download this image.png
Inputs can be of capital, raw materials and labour or a combination of the three. The latter, in its most basic form, is easier to measure; this means that many headline productivity statistics use it alone, giving figures for labour productivity. A more complete picture of labour input can be provided by adjustments to the data to take account of the fact that quality of labour inputs might be very varied, from surgeons to manual workers for example.
This section lists the regular productivity releases by the Office for National Statistics (ONS), focusing mainly on the Labour Productivity: Quarterly Statistical Bulletin. In particular this release highlights the broad industry groups for which data are available, which include tourism characteristic activities (as defined by the UN World Tourism Organisation). The section provides a background to the development of measures of productivity for more tightly defined tourism activities.
Our regular releases include straightforward labour productivity statistics and more complex data that include adjustments and capital input. Our regular releases are listed below.
- Labour Productivity: Quarterly Statistical Bulletin Statistics: measures the amount of economic output that is produced by a unit of labour input
- Multi-factor Productivity (MFP) – Indicative Estimates: growth in output decomposed into the relative contributions of capital and labour inputs
- Estimates of Quality-Adjusted Labour Input: labour data that feeds into the MFP estimates
- Volume of Capital Services: capital data that feeds into the MFP estimates
- Public Sector Productivity releases: a range of measures and articles that use different methodology to the labour productivity release
- International Comparisons of Productivity: compares levels and growth rates for the G7 countries
- Regional Labour Productivity Annual data: included within each quarterly bulletin
- Sub-regional Labour Productivity Experimental estimates: part of the series of ONS articles entitled Regional Economic Analysis
Quarterly labour productivity statistical bulletin: content of the release
Labour productivity measures the amount of economic output that is produced by a unit of labour input. In our quarterly bulletin the output is gross value added (in current prices, chained volume measure (CVM)) and the labour input is measured in terms of the number of jobs, workers or hours worked.
The release includes measures of productivity, referred to as output per job, hour worked and worker for the economy as a whole. However, where an industry breakdown is required, the last of these is not available. The bulletin includes output per job and output per hour worked for individual service sections and manufacturing sub-sections of the economy.
When considering tourism, the following sections are most relevant:
H = Transport & Storage
I = Accommodation & Food Services
R = Arts, entertainment and recreation.
Two further sections contain small proportions of tourism activities:
L = Real Estate Activities (only those relating to holiday and second homes)
N = Admin & Support Services (only travel agencies, related services and specific rental activities).
The data are presented as indices referenced to a specific year for which the value is set as 100 (the latest estimates use 2012). Figure 10 is a summary of the process of converting the economic output and labour input into productivity measures.

In this analysis of tourism productivity, the components used in the formulation of productivity estimates, namely "productivity jobs", "productivity hours", and "GVA at basic prices (CVM)" (from Figure 10) have been produced at a more detailed industrial classification to more closely match the tourism characteristic industries that make up the tourism sector, as shown in Table 2.

This more detailed industry breakdown allows for a thorough analysis of the productivity of these tourism-related industries.

For instance, the transport industries (rail, road, air and water) will also include freight activities as well as passenger services.

Severe symptomatic neutropenia may be treated with medications such as G-CSF or GM-CSF. Patients are treated for symptoms, like digestive problems, which should be reviewed by a gastroenterologist. Often taking pancreatic enzyme supplements and vitamin A, D, E, and K supplements are indicated. Regular monitoring by a gastroenterologist familiar with SDS is recommended.
Patients with chronic neutropenia should practice good dental hygiene to avoid infections and prevent gingivitis and tooth loss.
Patients with problems with their immune systems may benefit from treatment with antibodies. The only curative therapy for severe marrow failure is bone marrow transplantation (hematopoietic stem cell transplant). Bone marrow transplant is also the treatment for leukemia in patients with SDS.
Patients may initially be referred to an endocrinologist so that treatable causes for short stature can be excluded. Growth hormones are used with those patients who have a deficiency in the hormone itself. It's important for other aspects of a patient's hormone production and levels to be monitored.

We caught up with Nikhil of Shantanu & Nikhil and asked him how is he doing his bit of teaching everybody to #BeASport (apart from looking so dapperly handsome, wearing just a kurta + denims).
What was your inspiration behind creating the designs for #BeASport campaign?
We have two similar, yet very distinct designs for the t-shirts designed for #BeASport.
Having trying to combine a western silhouette and an Indian design, we came up with the idea of using the booti from Jaipur as the main element of design.
The men's t-shirt design is all about "moving forward". The Indian sensibilities with the pixel formed booti design gets infused with "Sports" with its athletic action.
The design for the women's t-shirt on the other hand represents who the Indian woman is today. The design with the booti work reaches out to every Indian women. She likes a little "Indian-ness" on her clothes – in the form of colour, stencils, designs, applique, or embroidery. The design is set on the shoulders keeping in mind that she also "carries" everything on her shoulders and still moves forward in life. The design represents exactly that.
How do you relate to the #BeASport Campaign?
It can be said that I have been through the phase that the #BeASport campaign is trying to achieve right now. As a person who was never too interested in "school" and "studies", I initially wanted to get into sports; but it wasn't acceptable at that point of time – with family and the society – and so it wasn't easy. My other "interest" lay in art and painting which was at that time seen as something only girls would do and wasn't acceptable either.
There is a lot of pressure on kids today with expectations from the parents at each point of time. And when i wanted to start a career in design, I was equally frowned upon. But the story of me, of how i am where i am, how i am and what i am doing today is what keeps me going ahead everyday, how ever competitive the days may become.
The point is that 'EVERYBODY' can be 'SOMEBODY'. It's just a matter of pushing them towards the goal.
We found our way. And we hope that others do too. We are just trying to help them get there, however we can help.

"Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him! For if, when we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation." Romans 5:1-11
So, what have you done for me lately?
That's the world we live in, isn't it?
How often do you hear someone cry out to God in a desparate moment, "God, why don't you do something?" Maybe you have uttered that question before.
Christmas shouts back the answer, "God did something!"
In fact, God did everything! There is nothing more that He can do that He hasn't already done! He sent His ONLY Son to become a man, born as a baby of a virgin, to become the atoning sin sacrifice for your sins. That is all He CAN do. That is all He needs to do. He undid what the first Adam did. He redeemed us from the sins of our first parents. Through His death and resurrection He made it possible for us to be forgiven from our sins and cleansed from our sin nature. By ascending to His Father and sending the Holy Spirit He made it possible for us to live in spiritual power and purity. And, by fulfilling all these prophecies, He proved that the Word of God is true and reliable for you to live by. It is a life-giving Word.
So, on this week before Christmas God wants to ask, "What have YOU done for me lately."

Just as President Obama's views on same-sex marriage have evolved over time, laws across the country have also evolved to grant — and sometimes deny — LGBT rights on a range of issues. The Guardian newspaper website launched a new interactive yesterday that details the laws in each state regarding same-sex marriage; hospital visitation; hate crimes; adoption; and workplace, school and housing discrimination. Compare the laws in your state or region with the rest of the country. You can even sign in to Facebook and focus on rights in the states your friends live.

Borrow 30,000 euros?
For example, if you want to buy a new kitchen, you sometimes have to pay a hefty price tag. Amounts to 30,000 euros or higher are no exception for people who want to redecorate their home. Also those who want to finance other projects sometimes have to dig deep into their portfolio. Many people do not have the capital to pay large amounts. That is why, for example, they can borrow 30,000 euros from a lender.
Although borrowing 30,000 euros is accompanied by a number of requirements. To start with, the lender will investigate why the borrower wants to borrow money. Is that for the purchase of a new car? Or does he want to install solar panels, for example? Depending on the project for which the bank borrows money, the interest rate will rise or fall. For example, green loans are much cheaper than personal loans. Applying for a loan is therefore accompanied by questions from the lender. With many lenders you can do a simulation online to see if you can get a loan. After such a simulation you can usually request a quote.
Why does the interest vary per provider
The lender also looks at other things when he grants a loan. The duration and the amount also play a crucial role in determining a rate. High amounts and longer durations are in most cases associated with a higher fixed interest rate, or annual percentage rate of charge. That percentage is a summary of all costs that come with an installment loan. Because the lender does not charge extra costs for the majority of the loans, the annual percentage rate of charge is the same as the fixed interest rate. The mortgage loan is the exception to the rule. Such a loan is associated with, among other things, file costs and any estimation costs.
Finally, the banks must comply with legal provisions when borrowers borrow 30,000 euros. For example, the term for loans up to and including 30,000 euros may not exceed 120 months. A borrower can make the monthly repayments lighter by spreading the loan over the maximum loan period. There is a chance that the lender will then raise the fixed interest rate.
Get an attractive interest rate
Do you want to know from which lender you get the best loan? Then certainly compare the rates on our site. We have put the providers in clear lists for all loan products. In this way, after a few clicks, you will know which lender will give you the cheapest loan. Among other things, we have an overview of the following loans: mortgage loans, car loans, green loans and loan merging.
Don't forget that borrowing money also costs money! Borrowing money without costs is usually too good to be true.
Concrete example: The fixed annual cost percentage (APR): 6.99% (fixed annual actuarial lending rate: 6.99%), for an installment loan of € 7,300 with a term of 42 months. The monthly repayment will be € 195.72 for a total repayable amount of € 8,220.24. The fixed annual cost percentage can vary depending on the credit amount, the duration of the credit contract, the withdrawal modalities or the chosen payment modalities. Installment loan for private individuals, subject to acceptance of your file and mutual agreement. Interest rates and product conditions change regularly. Because reliable comparisons are only possible on the basis of current data, the product information (such as interest data) that we provide is often updated daily, or as often as necessary. Thomas the Tank Engine is neither a credit broker nor a lender.

ELDER PATRIOT – President Trump had just finished delivering an historic speech in front of Warsaw's monument that forever memorializes the Polish resistance's gallant but doomed heroes of WWII.
Trump's speech evoked comparisons with Churchill's epic declaration on the eve of the Battle of Britain that, "Upon this battle depends the survival of Christian civilization."
Today Churchill is widely regarded as the greatest leader in Britain's long and glorious history for his steadfast defense of Western Civilization in the face of Nazi oppression, though he wasn't always given such respect. In the 1930's his stern warnings about the danger of Nazi Germany were regarded as shrill and irrelevant.
Today, President Trump's warning about the threat of Radical Islam is being similarly dismissed and the president is being lambasted by his similarly naïve opponents for being xenophobic. It was the same way with Reagan whose star continues to rise with time.
The Polish people have suffered and persevered through both Nazism and Soviet domination. Today, they credit their deliverance to freedom to their unshakeable faith in God. They cherish their freedoms and are well aware of how the threat of Radical Islam threatens those freedoms not just for Poland but for all of Western civilization.
That's why, when NBC reporter Hallie Jackson was granted two questions and used them to turn the subject to Russian meddling in our election and away from the existential threat that the Polish people had come to hear President Trump acknowledge – along with he commitment to their defense – Polish authorities shut her down.
Trump answered both of her questions politely but she wouldn't stop badgering him. That's when Polish authorities stepped in:
"You must go," they said.
"Dear lady, two questions. Two questions. Dear lady. Thank you very much, thank you very much, you must go. You must go. Dear lady, thank you very much," said an unidentified voice.
The Poles get it. If you give Progressives enough rope they'll eventually hang you with it.
