What is the meaning of casual employment?
A person is a casual employee if they accept an offer for a job from an employer knowing that there is no firm advance commitment to ongoing work with an agreed pattern of work.
What is casual work example?
Casual Worker: These are workers who are engaged by employers on a temporary basis for some specific work. They are not permanent and do not receive any social security or other work benefits. Example: Construction workers are contracted only for specific projects and not hired permanently.
What type of employment is casual?
Casual employees no obligation to accept offers of work; a loading paid on top of their hourly rate of pay; no sick or annual leave pay; and. no obligation to provide notice of ending their employment, unless this is a requirement of an award, employment contract or registered agreement.
How many hours can you work as a casual?
On average, they work 38 hours per week. Casual employees usually work irregular hours. A casual employee does not have a firm commitment in advance from their employer about how long they will be employed for, or the days or hours they will work.
How much does a casual get paid?
How Much Is Casual Loading In NSW? For employers under the national workplaces system (mainly employers in the private sector), casual loading is, broadly, 25% of the fixed hourly wage. However, depending on the Award, enterprise agreement or employment contract, this casual loading rate may change.
How do I leave a casual job?

- Hold a meeting.
- Ask for a letter of recommendation (optional)
Can casuals be fired on the spot?
Casual employees are only entitled to an unfair dismissal remedy if their employment is: regular and systematic; and. there is a reasonable expectation of ongoing employment.
What is casual employee status?
A casual employee is hired as a replacement for permanent full-time employees who are out on long-term absences and is paid only for the actual worked time, meaning they don not get paid for holidays or leaves of any kind.
Can you collect EI as a casual employee?
Can casual and part-time workers qualify for EI? Yes, if they've worked enough insurable hours to be eligible. But the government needs to have ROEs as proof of hours worked, so workers need to be sure their employers have submitted this.
Do Casuals get paid overtime?
Casual employees now have an entitlement to overtime pay. They get overtime when working: more than 38 hours per week, or an average of 38 hours per week over a roster cycle (which may not exceed 4 weeks) more than 12 hours per day or shift.
Do casual workers need a contract?
Under a casual work contract, the Employer has no obligation to offer work to an individual and the individual is not required to accept the work when it is offered. This contract is regularly reviewed to ensure it reflects the current position on casual workers.
Who are casual Labourers give examples?
The unorganized sector consists of casual workers; self employed persons in un-organized sector and private households; and others employed in organized and unorganized enterprises that do not receive fixed or regular wages, are not eligible either for paid, sick or annual leave or for any social security benefits.
Can casual workers call in sick?
Casual workers are entitled to take unpaid sick leave. Do I need a medical certificate? Many workplace Agreements provide for two single-day absences annually without the need for a medical certificate. After this, employees can be asked to provide either a medical certificate or a Statutory Declaration.
What is the minimum hours for a casual?
A casual employee is generally a person who is 'engaged to work as such', for a minimum number of hours per shift (generally, it is either a minimum of 3 or 4 hours ).
Is part time better than casual?
The hourly rate of casual employees is at least 25% more than part-time employees in a similar position. This higher rate is called casual loading. Casual loading makes up for the extra benefits part-time employees enjoy, including paid leave and job security.

Steve Sarkisian and Texas have re-offered four-star quarterback Cade Klubnik. The Austin native was initially offered by Tom Herman's staff on Halloween night and is now one of the biggest names on the Longhorns' 2022 board.
Klubnik was recently on the national stage after leading Austin Westlake to a 6A-DI state championship. He earned the offensive MVP after going 18 of 20 with 223 yards and a touchdown in the air plus 97 yards and two touchdowns on the ground.
According to Horns247's Mike Roach, Klubnik accomplished all of that while playing on an injured shoulder, but fortunately the injury will not require surgery. Regardless, it makes Klubnik's accolades in the state championship game that much more jaw-dropping.
Klubnik ranks as the No. 6 pro-style quarterback on the 247Sports composite. The Chaparral's star is the No. 24 player within the state of Texas and No. 155 nationally. After his outstanding season, Klubnik is due to move up in the rankings.
After new coaching changes, I am blessed to have been re-offered by The University of Texas!! 🤘🏼 https://t.co/NPFbPYMUgP
— Cade Klubnik (@CadeKlubnikQB) January 21, 2021
If the Longhorns are not able to get back in the Quinn Ewers sweepstakes, Klubnik could be the next answer. Auburn, Georgia, and LSU are some of the other big-name schools to offer him, but in-state rival Texas A&M recently extended an offer on Tuesday night.
The last signal-caller to come from Austin Westlake turned out to be quite the fan favorite. With Klubnik in Texas' backyard, it's crucial that Sarkisian and company do not let another quarterback leave for an SEC program.

What makes your mouth feel dry?
Does your mouth feel dry? Do you know that there are many reasons as to why the mouth gets dry? If you are suffering from a dry mouth syndrome just run through this blog and get to know the reasons. Among the various health conditions that people are susceptible to such as yeast infections, Alzheimer's disease, stroke, Sjogren's syndrome, autoimmune diseases, diabetes and HIV/AIDS, there are other contributions to dry mouth.
Dry mouth is also known as xerostomia. This is due to breathing with the mouth open and also snoring. Besides moistening, digesting food and cleansing the mouth, saliva also controls fungi and bacteria in the mouth thereby preventing infection. With the lack of saliva, the mouth gets and feels uncomfortable and dry.
The Causes for Dry Mouth
Along with the various reasons that cause dry mouth, dehydration being one of the reasons also results leading to reducing the saliva production and inducing uncomfortable symptoms. The other causes for dry mouth include anxiety, taking particular medications, stress, smoking and breathing through the mouth. Dry mouth can result from radiation treatment of the neck and head, taking tranquillizers, antihistamines, using marijuana, usage of appetite suppressants and antidepressants.
People suffering from dry mouth may also experience botulism poisoning, autoimmune diseases, cystic fibrosis and aging problems. It is necessary to talk to your doctor before stopping medications that may cause a dry mouth situation. There are certain side effects of medical treatments that can affect the salivary glands and reduce the production of saliva such as radiation and a lifestyle that involves smoking which can also injure health.
The common symptoms that can affect patients with a dry mouth problem include constant thirst, sore throat with hoarseness and nasal passages which are dry. Some of the indications of a dry mouth involve a dry sticky feeling in the mouth and throat, a rough, dry red tongue, cracked lips, bad breath and sores in the mouth. An altered sense of taste, thick saliva and trouble with swallowing or chewing are also indications of a dry mouth condition.
Experience Home Care Tips for Dry Mouth
If you are going through a dry mouth experience, it is time to consult with your doctor but there are certain home care tips that can relieve the situation. With dry mouth being a treatable condition, it is possible to relieve and prevent problem by cutting down on the intake of salt and sugar, sipping water at frequent intervals and sucking on ice cubes.
Patients who are going through a dry mouth problem should avoid tobacco, alcohol and caffeine. As a convenient way to prevent a dry mouth, patients can suck on hard sugarless candy and chew gum which does not have sugar. Over-the-counter saliva substitutes, mints, toothpastes and mouth rinses including using a humidifier or vaporizer in the bedroom while you sleep will also relieve symptoms of a dry mouth.
Treatment for Dry Mouth
If a patient has a dry mouth which is the result of a basic or fundamental health condition, it is necessary to see a doctor and find out if there any are additional treatment options. While your doctor may review existing medications which cause dry mouth, they may change or reduce the dosage, and/or also prescribe artificial saliva or other medications to increase saliva production. Breathing through the nose and not the mouth also helps dry mouth problems.
If patients experience a dry mouth condition, they must visit their dentist regularly to relieve symptoms. It is important to explore good dental care by brushing with fluoride toothpaste and flossing the teeth on a daily basis. This will regulate good oral hygiene and prevent gum disease including tooth decay which is caused by dry mouth.

Worldwide protests about the treatment of Black people will alter the global fashion and beauty industries by creating job opportunities and products catering for a broader range of consumers, model Naomi Campbell told Reuters in an interview.
The fashion world has long been criticized for its lack of diversity. Some firms are already making product changes as protests about systemic racism sparked by the killing of Black people by police in the United States highlight issue related to race.
Campbell, who during a 34-year career was the first Black model to appear on the covers of French Vogue and Time Magazine, said she believed there would be more opportunities for Black people as designers, stylists and make up artists.
'Now the whole world is on the same page. The voices are coming out now…and I look at that with optimism that we will get out change', she said.
The model also said companies were likely to expand their cosmetics ranges to match more skin tones.
'We spend a lot of money. We are big consumers', said Campbell, referring to the opportunities for business.
Earlier this month Band-Aid, owned by Johnson & Johnson, said it would launch a range of bandages to match a variety of skin tones.
Campbell, who two years ago told Reuters that Vogue magazine should launch an African edition, also said she had 'come to understand that Conde Nast are working on bringing a Vogue Africa'.
Citing conversation with people at Conde Nast, she said it was being 'looked into to be developed' before the killing of George Floyd by police sparked worldwide protests. She did not provide further details.
Conde Nast said it does not comment on future business ventures but continuously works on the expansion of its brands globally.

Stop the deportation of Djenebou Sissoko and release her immediately from ICE custody!
Stop the deportation of Djenebou Sissoko and release her immediately from ICE custody!
This is to present an emergency request to stop the deportation and to demand the release of Djenebou Sissoko, a 56 year old woman from West Africa, who lived in the US for 20 years. Djenebou has been in the custody of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for deportation since October 3rd, 2018. She is the mother of Joseph Ishmel Lowery, an 11 year old non-verbal autistic boy.
Ishmel is a US citizen who needs your help. He has started a complex medical treatment not available in West Africa, where his mother is scheduled to be deported. Separating him from his mother is seriously compromising all cognitive progresses he has made thus far and even endangering his fragile life. Djenebou is Ishmel sole caregiver; his father, a US Army Veteran, passed away earlier this year.
Please join us in asking ICE to immediately release Djenebou so she can continue to take care of her son Ishmel.
Ishmel has been through a lot already. Sending him and his mother to West Africa will put an end to the treatment he could get and keep him in this cognitive condition for the rest of his life.
According to Dr Roger Bruce Bessey, Joseph Ishmel's primary physician, "Joseph's medical history is salient for a severe autistic disorder- a neurodevelopment entity that presents with problems in social communication and interaction, restricted repetitive pattern of behavior activities and global developmental delay. Parental training and education is very important component of comprehensive intervention for children with autism."
Moreover, Dr. George Katsitadze, Joseph's autism specialist, stated that "the therapy for Autism Spectrum Disorder is very intensive and […] includes extensive parent participation. […] it is my professional opinion that joseph's mother be allowed to remain in the United States to support the ongoing treatment plan."

Thank you!

MASERU — Bantu playmaker Tefo Maipato says the club will be content with finishing the season among the Vodacom Premier League's top four sides.
The Mafeteng team, fourth in the latest league standings and trailing leaders Matlama by seven points, still have a strong shout at the championship.
But Bantu will not ask for anything more than a finish among the top boys in the premier league, according to Maipato.
It's been a fairytale return to the top-flight league for Bantu, who spent the last four seasons playing in the unfashionable first division.
Bantu's credentials will, however, be under scrutiny when they face Matlama in a crunch tie at Bambatha Tšita Sports Arena on Saturday.
"We have to win that game because we want to get into the top four," Maiptao said.
"We are just focusing on finishing in the top four."
Maipato, who has been a revelation at A Matšo Makaota since returning from South Africa's Orlando Pirates, knows winning the league will not be easy for the Mafeteng side.
Bantu suffered their second successive loss last Saturday when they went down 2-1 to Linare.
Maipato scored the consolation goal from the penalty spot.
"What I can say is that we just made mistakes," he said. "Sometimes football can surprise you."
"Unfortunately some of our players were injured as well," he added.
"In the first half Linare dominated us and even though we came back in the second half it was too late.
"But we lost just like every side can lose. Who would have thought Likhopo would beat LDF 3-0?"
Despite the setback, Maipato is confident Bantu can hold their own against Matlama.
"We have to do our job," he said.
"I have to double my efforts because I don't want people to say I didn't give my best.
"It's a crucial match because Matlama will want to increase their lead at the top and we want to close that gap."
In other matches, Majantja will host Top Four champions LMPS in a rescheduled match.
The original match was abandoned because of rain on January 31.
Also on Saturday there will be a relegation dogfight when bottom side Botha-Bothe Roses host fellow strugglers Majantja.
Premiership fixtures
Today: Majantja vs LMPS (Mohale's Hoek)
Saturday: Botha-Bothe Roses vs Majantja (Botha-Bothe), Joy vs LCS (Hlotse), Matlama vs Bantu Maseru, LDF vs Lerotholi Ratjomose.
Sunday: Lioli vs LMPS (Teyateyaneng), Likhopo vs Rovers.

The versatility of denim is unmatched in the clothing world. Now, you can even put it on your face.
Start-up Mosevic has introduced sunglasses made with denim fabric. The company combines denim with resin similar to that used in fiberglass construction.
The sunglasses are handmade in Cornwall, England, and they come equipped with Carl Zeiss lenses.
A bit on how they are made: Fiberglass is created by coating sheets of fiber with a liquid resin that hardens when mixed with a catalyst. These sunglasses simply replaces the fiberglass material with denim. Voila!
The company has three styles available, all of which sell for about $125. It has raised about $4,000 of a $7,577 goal on Kickstarter.
For stylish sunglasses with this unique denim twist, give them a look. They are priced competitively with quality sunglasses and could be a conversation starter or a fashion piece for lovers of the denim look.

What is TravelSites.com, and what makes it the best travel site in the world? 🥇
Welcome to TravelSites.com: your gateway to the world. Whether you are deciding on where you want to go, to begin with, or you need to find the place places to stay once you get there, TravelSites is your ultimate resource for making travel plans. With hundreds of the best travel websites listed all in one convenient location, never again will you have to wonder if you are finding the best deals on travel sites for flights, travel sites for rental cars, or travel sites for hotels … You will find nothing but the best travel sites here.
Think about the last time you planned a trip. How many hours did you spend searching on Google or Yahoo for travel sites, cross-referencing countless search results, trying to figure out whether to rely on Expedia or Priceline for booking the cheapest flights? How many different travel websites did you visit when searching for the best hotel deals? What about when it came time to find a rental car? I have some good news for you: planning a vacation doesn't need to be stressful.
I have had a severe case of wanderlust for as long as I can remember. I could never stay in one place for too long. There is just so much world out there that I need to explore, experiences that must be had! Therefore, I have always made it my priority to travel as much as I am physically (and fiscally) able.
Eventually, though, it occurred to me that juggling all of these travel sites — constantly clicking back and forth between Expedia, Priceline, and countless other travel sites that promised the best deals on flights, car rentals, hotels, vacation packages, and more — was sapping the fun out of the planning process.
Maybe I'm alone in thinking this, but I believe that the planning of a vacation should be part of the fun, not just a stressful necessity. It should be exciting … each piece of the puzzle snapping into place and bringing you one step closer to your next big trip!
So, I created TravelSites.com. At first, it started as an index of the best travel sites resources, just for my own purposes. As my travel sites list grew, though, I began to realize that there are probably thousands of other travelers just like me who would love a convenient and user-friendly site to help them find the best travel packages, hotels, flights, car rentals, and everything else needed when it comes time to book a trip.
Then I got the idea to make my travel sites list public. However, it didn't feel like enough to index and list all the world's best travel websites. If people were going to visit my travel site, I wanted to do more for them … which is when I got the idea to rank, rate, and review each site as well. Now, you can figure out, once and for all, whether Expedia or Priceline is going to be better for your upcoming trip by looking at the specific strengths and weaknesses of each travel site.
If you like what you see, go ahead and add TravelSites.com to your bookmarks … I guarantee this will become your new go-to travel site, that it can unlock all the wonders of the world.
What exactly can you use travel sites for?
TravelSites is your new travel companion. If it is at all related to travel, you will be able to find it here. TravelSites is here to be your digital 21st-century travel agent (minus the fees and the stuffy office). This is the only travel site you'll ever need when it comes time to start making travel plans.
Let's say you are looking to find the cheapest direct flights to New York City for New Year's Eve. Sure, you could Google "direct flights New York City" and then browse the first page of top search results, scrolling through all of the usual suspects. Chances are, you aren't going to find much outside of the top dogs in the travel industry — you know, Priceline, Expedia, etc. — due to how Google's algorithm tends to privilege certain sites over others.
How are you supposed to know, then, that you are actually finding the best flight deals on Priceline or Expedia when you browse Google search results? Sure, Expedia is popular and snazzy but does it actually yield the best prices on flights, hotels, and travel packages? Well, not necessarily.
Not to disparage Expedia too much or anything, but finding the best travel sites for booking a flight, hotel, or rental car often depends on the destinations. For instance, some sites are much more effective at hooking you up with international flights than domestic flights. Some of these sites are better for finding last-minute hotel deals, whereas others specialize in helping you find the cheapest car rentals on the market.
At the end of the day, choosing the right site is all about figuring out where each site's strengths and weaknesses lie and then choosing the right site for the right task. By reading my reviews, you will be given a rare glimpse into the honest and objective pros and cons of all the best travel websites in the world.
Every step in the trip-booking process can be taken here. Maybe you are looking for an interesting international destination, some ideas of where to go. If so, you can always browse my reviews of the best travel photography sites, subreddits, forums, and Instagram travel blogs.
Perhaps you already have a destination in mind, and you want to learn more about all that there is to see and do once you're there. If so, feel free to browse my travel site lists of the best YouTube travel channels, travel guides, and travel books.
TravelSites also makes it easier than ever before for you to take care of business, too, when booking your trip. Find the best deals on direct flights, hotels, rental cars, last-minute travel deals, vacation packages, cruises, homestays, hostels, camping sites, RV rentals, travel insurance, and so much more.
No matter what kind of travel you prefer, TravelSites has you covered. Whether you're a backpacker looking for trail guides and campsites or you are in search of a luxury vacation package for your honeymoon, you will be able to find what you need here at the best possible price.
What can you find on my best travel site lists, and how did I rank them? 🧠
The only travel websites that you will find on my travel site lists are the best of the best. I do not bother reviewing or rating subpar travel sites. It would be a waste of time for both you and me. Instead, my travel site lists include ratings and in-depth reviews for every one of the best sites for travel on the web.
My reviews are broken into more than 40 individual categories, making it as easy as it should be to track and plan every aspect of your trip. There are travel sites here to use whilst planning your trip while you are on vacation and when you return (should you want to upload photos or discuss your experience on a travel forum).
I ranked these travel sites myself based on consistent criteria. I have tried to devise a system that would make for the most objective evaluation of these travel sites as possible. Therefore, I look at every travel site in terms of its user-friendliness, content and features, mobile-friendliness, and pricing.
Whether I am reviewing a site that offers travel plans, travel deals, direct flights, hotels, car rentals, or cruise vacation packages, you can rest assured that I have not judged them arbitrarily — I have used every one of these services personally. I have ranked them according to their performance in each of these areas.
Who can use TravelSites.com? 🧛🤴
I tried my best to make TravelSites.com as accessible as possible for travelers from all walks of life. Whether your grandparents need to find the cheapest flights home from Florida or your parents are searching for the swankiest luxury vacation packages the web has to offer, send them the link to TravelSites.com and let them explore their travel sites options with ease.
One of my utmost priorities when making this travel site — in addition to, of course, helping people save money on vacation options and deals — was to make it as user friendly as possible. This is why I have employed the most intuitive travel website design. I wanted this travel site to simplify booking flights and hotels, of taking advantage of the best deals and options available.
I didn't just make TravelSites with our parents and grandparents in mind, though. I want this travel site to be useful to the most adventurous backpacker and the casual daytripper alike. Whether you want to hike the Annapurna Circuit or find a chill little villa in Costa Rica where you can sit poolside drinking Pina Coladas all day, TravelSites.com is here to help.
Everybody should be able to see the world. Regardless of your age, background, or how much money you make. My dream is to make traveling more widely accessible, a possibility for everyone. TravelSites.com is my humble means of attempting to make that dream a reality.
In short, TravelSites is made to be the perfect travel companion for anyone. As long as you have an internet connection and a desire to see the world, TravelSites is here to help you make it happen.
Why was TravelSites created? 🤔
In my early days as a traveler, I was an energetic young backpacker. The adventure was my M.O. Throw me into a foreign country with a pair of hiking boots and a pack of supplies, and I would immediately get down to exploring the local treasures, stumbling upon whatever happened into my path. Ah, to be young again … Everything was a rush; everything felt like kismet.
As I got older, though, and became a more experienced traveler, I found myself turning to the internet more and more to help me get the most out of my excursions. I found that planning my trips ahead of time frequently led to money saved and time better spent (surprise, surprise!). Eventually, I found myself wasting so many unnecessary hours with dozens of tabs open, comparing and contrasting various rental car services, hotel booking sites, various flight deals, etc. It was frustrating, annoying, and exhausting. It sapped all the fun out of planning a trip to my destination of choice!
I assumed that I was not alone in my frustration. Why couldn't it be easier to pick the perfect destination? Why couldn't booking a rental car on the cheap just be simple? Why did booking flights and hotel accommodations equate to hours lost scouring hundreds of Google results? I knew then that there had to be a better way.
Alas, the TravelSites.com that you see today is the site that I'd always wished existed. TravelSites was created in hopes of providing my fellow travelers with an easy way to search and compare all of the greatest travel resources, information, and content to be found on the internet. TravelSites is about convenience, value, options, and deals.
I made TravelSites because I knew that the journey was every bit as important as the destination itself. I sincerely hope that my lists and reviews can help you to optimize your plans and enjoy as much of this wonderful miracle of a world as possible.
Has the Covid 19 pandemic made you anxious to travel? If so, maybe TravelSites can be of assistance. 🧚
Naturally, Covid 19 has made the idea of international flights nightmarish (if not impossible in many cases). If you are nervous about taking a trip during these trying times, I can't say that I blame you. I, for one, have limited my own traveling to only the essential. That being said, things do happen. Booking flights in the time of Covid 19 is sometimes unavoidable.
Plus, let's face it, flight prices are unprecedentedly low right now. If you have been waiting around for flights to get cheap before taking that big trip, now could be the time. To be clear, I am not advocating travel for pleasure to an international destination during the Covid 19 pandemic. I am not saying that it is a prudent decision … I am, however, realistically acknowledging the fact that it is happening and that it is partially due to the great value of low price flights right now.
If you must go to international destinations during this Covid 19 pandemic, I ask that you try your best to go about it responsibly. Obviously, if you or someone close to you is experiencing Covid 19 symptoms, please quarantine accordingly. It would also help to familiarize yourself with the CDC guidelines on international travel. For all information on travel health resources, please consult my list of travel sites in the category of Travel Health Info Sites, or read the daily updated travel blog post about Everything You Need to Know About Traveling During COVID-19.
For more up-to-date and current takes on traveling during these crazy times, you can always check back in on my overseas adventure travel blog … I update it regularly with plenty of realistic destination options, ideas for vacations, lists of great locations, and tips for travelers during this trying time. I try to add a new post to my overseas adventure travel blog every week — I truly hope that you will find it to be filled with great ideas and suggestions both during these uncertain times and beyond.
You can also use TravelSites right now to plan ahead. Sometimes the best way to get through the darkness of the moment is to keep your eye on the light ahead. You may not be taking many vacations in the next couple of months, sure … but that doesn't mean that you can't compare rates, entertain destinations, check out travel deals, and search flights for closer to next year! If you feel trapped or claustrophobic during quarantine, simply conducting a search for vacation options, cities to go to, comparing prices, and entertaining plans can be freeing.
How much does TravelSites cost? 🤶🆓
Traveling is seldom cheap. Even after you use my travel site to compare all of your options and get the best rates on hotels, airfare, rental cars, and everything else, every additional dollar spent counts. That is why TravelSites is 100% free for everyone to use. I would never have it any other way.
You don't even need so much as an email address to take advantage of the awesome offers and savings to be found here. Once again, anyone with an internet connection and a desire to see the world can search and discover the great value of TravelSites right now. This site is about nothing more than encouraging adventure and cultural curiosity.
Not only is Travel Sites a free resource for travelers, but it is also free of advertisements. When your goal is to provide the most objective and comprehensive list of sites related to wanderlust, incorporating ads, I think, would result in a conflict of interest. I don't want visitors to feel swayed to one destination (country or city) over another.
Nor would I want to sully the objectivity of my reviews by allowing a specific travel site to advertise its services, creating the false impression that it is somehow better than the rest. I want this travel website to be something of a free and open terrain for you to explore on your own accord.
My goal is to provide you with the greatest resource of vacation options, offers, plans, destinations, prices, ideas, and apps, and I do not believe that this should cost you a cent. Save that money for your next excursion. I don't want your money. I suppose if our paths ever cross on our travels, I'd let you buy me a beer, though!
Okay, but are the sites that are featured in your lists free to use? 🧾
Well, that depends on travel sites. Once again, I only link to the best of the best resources. Some of them are absolutely free. Others offer subscription-based services. Some have associated surcharges for the services that they provide. The prices are bound to vary greatly.
It will be up to you, ultimately, to decide on which travel websites are worth their associated prices (if they have one). I offer a whole travel sites list, for instance, of language learning tools. Some of these services, naturally, offer premium subscriptions. I mean, hey, learning a language is never free (unless, of course, you simply immerse yourself in a foreign city and converse until you catch on).
At the end of the day, though, once you become accustomed to TravelSites, I am completely confident that, even with certain services having various prices attached to them, you will end up being able to save money here. That is part of why I do this, to begin with! Because I want to make it as easy as possible for you to search for the best rates available. I want to make traveling as simple and affordable as it can be.
How do I contact you if I have a question?
We travelers need to stick together! I absolutely love hearing from anyone and everyone who also suffers from wanderlust. Whether you have a question about TravelSites, you have a great travel resource to share that is glaringly missing from any of my travel sites list, or you just want to share a story or two of your travels, please do not hesitate to reach out!
I can be reached via email, Skype, Facebook Messenger , Twitter, or Linkedin.
You can find everything about my travel sites here on the about travel sites page
Also, you can check me on my travel sites author page profile: David Jones 🧔
I look forward to hearing from you, and wish you happy travels! 🥰

I've experimented with noise-cancellation headphones, but they simply don't cancel enough grating, higher-frequency noise. The stereo earphones from Etymotic Research look and operate like earplugs: Insert them and they block 20 or more decibels of outside sound. To top it off, they're among the best-sounding earphones I've heard - accurate musical range with deep bass.
The inserts are not the typical earbuds that come with a personal stereo. You fit the tiny speaker modules with your choice of silicone or foam tips and stick them into the ear canal. People with small ear canals - or crooked ones like mine - find the three-flange silicone tips uncomfortable. The foam ones expand to fit almost any ear.
With my walkman set at a comfy level on the commuter train, the 'phones sounded great, and I never had to raise the volume even when I disembarked and walked past a diesel locomotive emitting a thunderous 100 dB. (Yup, I measured it.) They were even better on the subway, the noise of which is louder and at a higher frequency. Bonus: No sound leaks from these 'phones, since they play deep in the ear canal.
There are drawbacks, however. Having these things in your ears takes some getting used to; the cord literally conducts audible vibrations to your ears like the string in a tin-can telephone, so it's best to use the supplied inline shirt clip to slacken the connections to each ear. And at $330, ER-4S earphones are damn costly by most people's standards. But what other options have you got? There's nothing like starting the workday when the only horns you hear are from the Boston Symphony - not an orchestra of pissed-off cabbies.

This article is part 1 of a 4-part series on managing the digital evolution of information.
First and foremost, outsourcing digital information management functions doesn't have to be all or nothing. The outsourcing of many library and information management services is already an accepted and common practice today in the public sector, as well as private and legal repositories.
Most executives and IT managers now approach outsourcing from the perspective of a long-term strategic business practice to reduce costs and increase workflow efficiency while enhancing service levels for their customers and other stakeholders. Outsourcing IT functions is an invaluable option available within the library services industry, allowing businesses to not only jump over new technological hurdles much faster, and at a reduced cost, but to better control the massive cultural change when transitioning from a traditional to digital library. One of the biggest challenges is deciding which business functions to contract out, and which to maintain in-house.
According to 2011 benchmarks by Outsell, the most commonly outsourced activities fall into the following four categories:
Transactional activities
These are necessary functions that don't necessarily increase revenues and include document imaging, cataloging and delivery, data inquiries and alerting services.
Tactical enterprise information management functions
Complex queries, research and archive and records management tasks that require understanding from both a business and technology perspective.
Outside expertise required
Some functions require skills and experience that are often not available in existing information management staff such as analysis or subject matter understanding.
User training
Information and technology service providers commonly handle user training.
These four categories of outsourced information management functions are all common responsibilities associated with managers responsible for both physical and digital information assets, whether an employee or contractor.
In Part-2 of this series, I will outline what's needed for hiring and contracting so you can properly plan and expand your business into the digital marketplace.

Part 1 – Most commonly outsourced digital information management functions today
Part 2 – Contracting or hiring to manage your digital information assets
Part 3 – Skill sets needed for digital information asset management positions
Part 4 – Outsourcing pros vs. hiring pros

Break out the sunglasses and be prepared to hear the sounds of the flashing lights upon arriving at The Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas. Here guests are treated like celebrities by being provided with the best. There's no such thing here called a "hotel room" instead every dwelling is called a suite with a bedroom and ensuite living room. The reason for that is simple because space at the Venetian is a luxury and therefore twice the amount is provided. Luxurious touches such as Italian Marble and soft lighting reflect the Old World elegance of the hotel. The anchor suites are Luxury, Bella and Grand. Under Grand there are three specific suites are Rialto, Prima, and Piazza.
For an even more VIP experience, the Venetian Tower suites are the exclusive offerings located in the corner section of the hotel that provide solitude and peace. Food choices are in abundance at the Venetian with cuisines that appeal to a variety of tastes. For those looking to dine like Hollywood's elite there are world class restaurants created by celebrity chefs including John Kunkel, Emeril Lagesse and Wolfgang just to name a few. There are also five bars and lounges like The Dorsey and the Electra Cocktail Club that have an intriguing décor matched with a variety of potent libations to get the party started. Nightlife is covered at The Venetian from TAO Nightclub to Rosina, which continue to be hotspots on The Strip.
There are numerous shows that are always playing at The Venetian. While it may be known for its glitz and glamour, the holidays are not forgotten. A highlight for the holidays is the Rockin' Holiday Jukebox by Human Nature which a series of shows celebrating the holiday season from November 27th to December 23rd.
The Palazzo hotel, a neighbor of the Venetian, gives the sense of sophistication based on the architectural layout and décor of each suite. Just like the Venetian every hotel room is a generously sized suite of varying sizes. There are the Luxury, Bella and Grand suites. Under the Grand Suites branch there are the Fortuna, Siena, and Lago suites.The Penthouse Suite confirms beyond a shadow of a doubt the definition of what it means when luxury and elegance are intertwined. The colors are rich making each room appear fuller to the eye. Each suite has a fabulous décor along with panoramic views of the strip seen from the large windows. There are also suites designed specifically with business travelers in mind such as the Presidential and Chairman Suites.
There are plenty of places to dine while staying at the Palazzo. Be the first to taste and experience The Factory Kitchen which is the brainchild of two friends Restaurateur Matteo Ferdinandi and Chef Angelo Auriana. If you are looking for Asian cuisine, be sure to visit SUSHISAMBA or Mott 32. Carnivores can get their steakhouse fix at Cut or Morels Steakhouse & Bistro.
As the Venetian and Palazzo are connected, guests of both hotels are able to meet in the shared spaces of the 10 swimming pools and as well as the bars & lounges and shops just to name a few. For the art and architecture lover there are curiosities to keep a connoisseur's interest. When it comes to games there are more than enough ways to gamble in style that meets your needs whether you are looking to go solo or with friends.
Both hotels have the ability to cater to all your needs to make a fulfilling trip and it may all begin with requesting concierge for assistance. Because from the moment you arrive you are more than simply a guest, you are a headliner.

Raw Charge / TiqIQ want you to "Take a Seat"
Since last spring, during the playoffs, Raw Charge (and the SB Nation network in general) has been in a partnership with TiqIQ, offering fans the ability to find tickets through the web site for upcoming games.
At any rate, we're introducing a contest for TiqIQ called "Take A Seat", being run specifically through Twitter. You'll have a chance to win two tickets to a December / January Lightning game of your choice. Here's how it works:
- Follow @TiqIQ on Twitter (this necessary first step lets them track entries)
- Tweet @RawCharge with the name of the player you think will be leading the team in PIM as of November 30, 2011, the number of penalty minutes you think he'll have by that time, and the #TakeASeat hashtag. (You can enter as many times as you'd like.)
Example: @RawCharge: Pavel Kubina, 48, #TakeASeat
- Entries must be made on or before October 31, 2011.
- The winner of the contest will be announced on December 9, 2011.
Other Contest Rules:
1. You can enter as many times as you'd like, but the final cut off is October 31st. No whining when November rolls around and you missed the window.
2. The total PIM count includes all games up until the end of November. Keep the current totals in mindwhen you enter and, better yet, play around on Hockey Reference and check out each player's past splits to see how penalized they have been during October/November in the past.
3. The winning entry (or entries) has to be the exact PIM total. No Price is Right rules. It is a contest after all.
Good luck!

A haiku for all those tissues I have sneezed into this week. Enjoy!

Ode to my broken piano
On the days that I do not love you my love looks nothing like love. In fact, it looks much like not quite the opposite but an in between state: A half-working key, an almost soundless note pressed against my finger-tips.
The Hold
Mint tea in clean mug,warm and small feelings of joy,which I hold onto.
Old Man
Sometimes I like to compare myself to an old man. Note how I did not say old woman – for old women have a special quality to them which old men do not: you can see it if you brush away the dust, buried inside them is a treasure chest where pearls of wisdom remain.Continue reading "Old Man"
If Love was human
Love, my dearest friend,listen to my laboured breaths,how sweet do they sound, against your chest.
the L illusion
I have noted in these past few nights,that Confidence is not found in the usual places;it is not found inside another personbetween cracks and small openings,between the rust and rubble ofsomeone's dampened heart,or broken art,but rather amongLs: leather, lipstick and lingerie — and no, I don't list these because I am an object,but rather becauseContinue reading "the L illusion"
Drury Lane
Name here, Sign here, sigh there, Wear and tear of the town, causes tearing of hair, baby cries — — closed eyes. Lullabies sung, Tumbling now that standing up has come, Standing on your own two cold feet, good bye — –I smell, the Muffin Man, hungry as I run to Drury Lane, a girlContinue reading "Drury Lane"

With a big weekend on deck, Maryland baseball looks to keep its winning streak alive. Coming off a huge series sweep, the Terps have the chance to continue their offensive energy that began at The Bob last weekend.
The Terps dominated the Ohio State Buckeyes at home winning all three games to move their record above .500 for the first time this season. Hoping to continue their momentum, the Terps will be traveling to Iowa City, IA, for a four-game pod with a pair of matchups against both the 15-10 Iowa Hawkeyes and 12-12 Northwestern Wildcats.
The first games of the weekend will be up against the Hawkeyes, game one will start on Friday at 8:05 p.m., and game two will start on Saturday at 2:05 p.m. For game three, the Terps will finish out the double-header on Saturday against the Wildcats at 6:05 p.m. To wrap the series, the Terps will face the Wildcats again on Sunday at 1:05 p.m.
The Terps' important series sweep last weekend against Ohio State helped them climb to 13-12 and a tie for fifth in the Big Ten standings. With a collective 24 runs across the weekend, Maryland dominated game one scoring seven runs in the sixth en route to a 10-6 win. In game two, the Terps captured a 5-4 win in ten innings thanks to a bases-loaded walk. For the final matchup, Maryland came from behind to secure the 9-4 victory, as the Terp pitching staff held the Buckeyes scoreless after the third.
Maryland will look to offensive players Chris Alleyne, Maxwell Costes, and Matt Shaw to continue strong performances this coming series. Alleyne hit .400 on the weekend and stole seven bases. Costes and Shaw each had hits in all three games.
The Hawkeyes are coming off a 3-1 series win in Piscataway, NJ against the Rutgers Scarlet Knights. Iowa racked up 32 runs in the four games with Izaya Fullard recording seven hits in the series. Maryland's offensive energy will need to stay strong to combat Iowa's high run-scoring this season (6.0 runs per game).
In the second half of the weekend pod, the Terps will take on the Wildcats, a team coming off a 1-2 series loss against the Indiana Hoosiers. In the first loss, Northwestern rallied in the seventh but fell short, 5-4. In the second loss, Indiana kept the Wildcats scoreless, beating them, 4-0. Overall, the Wildcats have lost four of their last five games. Maryland will look to capitalize on Northwestern's recent struggles.
Iowa Hawkeyes (15-10)
Last Season
The Iowa Hawkeyes finished the shortened season due to the COVID shutdown with a 10-5 record. The team slashed .295/.391/.408 and their pitching staff closed with a solid 3.39 ERA.
This Season
The Hawkeyes have stayed consistent with their shortened 2020 season. Iowa has boasted a .251/.371/.418 slash line so far, and are fourth in the Big Ten standings. The Hawkeyes pitching staff has shown strength putting up a 4.06 ERA. The Hawkeyes are coming off a 3-1 series win and have won eight out of their last ten games.
Hitters to Watch
The Hawkeyes have plenty of hitters to keep an eye on. Redshirt Senior Ben Norman is in the midst of a breakout season recording 29 hits, nine home runs, 30 RBI, and claiming Big Ten Player of the Week on April 20. Norman has scored in 17 out of his last 21 games to top off his success. Redshirt Freshman Peyton Williams has also recorded big stats so far this season with a .282/.452/.620 slash line with seven doubles and five homers. Redshirt Junior Izaya Fullard came out big last weekend with seven hits, his highest for a series this season.
Pitchers to Watch
The Hawkeyes pitching staff has held its own this season, with Trenton Wallace and Cam Baumann, both Redshirt Juniors, throwing a total of 81 strikeouts this season. Baumann has topped the Hawkeyes pitching staff putting up a 2.62 ERA with a 3-2 record and holding opposing batters to a .184 batting average. Wallace posts a 2.87 ERA with a 3-1 record. Drew Irvine, a Redshirt Sophomore, also shows promise with 33 strikeouts this season.
Northwestern Wildcats (12-12)
Last Season
In the 2020 season, the Wildcats fell just short of a .500 season, finishing 6-7. The team hit for a .239/.327/.340 slash line along with a bullpen boasting a 3.63 ERA.
This Season
Despite their even record, Northwestern has put up a .271/.356/.496 slash line so far this season. The Wildcat pitching staff has room for improvement with a 4.80 ERA. Northwestern will be looking to change things around after coming off a 1-2 series loss and losing seven out of their last ten games.
Hitters to Watch
The Wildcats have a good balance of power and average this season, with four hitters averaging .300 and above. Juniors Anthony Calarco and Shawn Goosenberg lead the pack combining for a total of 70 hits, 17 home runs, 19 doubles, and 39 RBIs. Calarco tops Northwestern's stats with a .360/.443/.680 slash line; Goosenberg follows suit with a .327/.391/.692. In the Cats last showing, Vincent Bianchina smacked back-to-back home runs to also put him in the spotlight.
Pitchers to Watch
Northwestern's bullpen has struggled this season, but pitchers Mike Doherty, Sam Lawrence, and Reed Smith have made notable appearances this season. Friday starter Junior Doherty has a 2.98 ERA this season along with 23 strikeouts. Smith boasts a 2.87 ERA with a win and two losses. Graduate student Sam Lawrence captured his first win last weekend in game two against Indiana, allowing just one hit in closing the game. He also has a team-high three saves.
Starting Pitching Matchups
Game 1: RHP Sean Burke (4-3, 4.50 ERA) vs. LHP Trenton Wallace (3-1, 2.87 ERA)
Most recently coming off a pitching win against Ohio State, Redshirt Sophomore Sean Burke will look to continue his personal record above .500. Burke has thrown 62 strikeouts so far this season posting a respectable 4.50 ERA.
Iowa will bring in a strong arm in Trenton Wallace for the opener of the series. Wallace boasts a 2.87 ERA for the season with a total 52 strikeouts thus far. Maryland will have to bring their A-game to plate.
Game 2: RHP Nick Dean (3-1, 4.43 ERA) vs. RHP Drew Irvine (2-2, 4.00 ERA)
With three straight pitching wins against Northwestern, Nebraska, and Ohio State, sophomore Nick Dean will look to carry that momentum into game two. Dean has thrown 17 strikeouts this season, and in his last showing against the Buckeyes he struck out eight batters, his high for the season.
Coming off two pitching wins, Drew Irvine will be looking to keep his streak alive. At a respectable 4.00 ERA, Irvine has pitched a total of 33 strikeout so far this season and will be a difficult opponent for the Maryland team to face.
Game 3: TBD vs. RHP Mike Doherty (1-1, 2.98 ERA)
One of the top arms in Northwestern's pitching staff, Junior Mike Doherty will open the second half of the weekend. With a tremendous 2.98 ERA and 23 strikeouts, Doherty will look to continue his strong stats this season.
Game 4: RHP Jason Savacool (6-1, 5.12 ERA) vs. RHP Tyler Uberstine (2-2, 5.03 ERA)
The freshman star, Jason Savacool will finish up the series for the Terps on Sunday. Savacool has held his own this year securing six wins for the team. He has pitched 24 strikeouts this season and in his last showing against the Buckeyes threw a career-high six strikeouts in six innings.
To finish up the pod series, the Wildcats will start Tyler Uberstine. Uberstine has 34 strikeouts this season at 34 innings pitched and after allowing four runs in his last outing against Indiana, he will be looking to shut down the Terps at the plate.

SEF Welcomes a Student Voice to Its Board
The Suffolk Education Foundation board of directors is excited to welcome a new voice to the conversation for the 2021-22 school year.
Noelle Ingram, a junior in the International Baccalaureate (IB) Program at King's Fork High School, will join the board
offering insight on how the Education Foundation can better serve the students.
"Our primary purpose is to serve the students, faculty, and staff of Suffolk Public Schools," said SEF President Patrick
Belcher. "Our bylaws require representation from the superintendent's office and the School Board. There have also
been former educators and members of the community. The board recognizes the value a student member would bring
to our discussions."
The Foundation followed an open application process, searching for a student representative from among rising juniors
and seniors in one of the city's public high schools. Candidates had to demonstrate good character, a 3.0+ GPA, and
recommendations from a community member and a school staff member. The top candidates participated in a panel

A decent EP with some good tracks.
Wasn't a fan of track one but "Beyond the Innominate Village" pulled me back from skipping the release entirely. "Ballet of the Chestnuts" has a weak lead which causes the bass to over power, which isn't bad if your a drums & bass type of person. I got the distinct feeling that most of these songs didn't know where they wanted to go like too much was going on in different directions with just enough there to hold it together. Indulgence and Grace epitomized this sentiment as the story the artist is trying to tell got lost much like the person in the story I guess. If you can get past the intro Cult of the Severed Head is actually one of the more coherent songs in the album.
This one might grow on me and the artist is good so I would recommend it. It's one of those borderline recommendations though as there are some thing that stand out in the songs that really detract from the listening experience.

"Persons of high self-esteem are not driven to make themselves superior to others…Their joy is being who they are, not in being better than someone else."
-Nathaniel Branden
What drives you? Money? Fame? Just being able to help someone in need? In today's quote Canadian-American psychotherapist Nathaniel Branden puts this into perspective as he relates to those with high self esteem are driven by being who they are and not driven to be better than someone else. Essentially they just focus on themselves. I think if we all took the time to do that and not worry so much about the "competition" we would be better for it. In my opinion, trying to keep up with the Joneses as the saying goes will never bring you true happiness because you really aren't doing it to better yourself as much as trying to better your social status standing in the eyes of others.
Often times some people try and brag to others what they have (ie a new car, a new boat or all the trips you have gone on, etc) to make themselves look better than someone else. It isn't necessary. The only one you should be concerned with is yourself and being better for the sake of being better.
One thing to note is having the joy in being who you are. That is what is important. If you can't be happy with yourself then who can be?
What does this quote mean to you and how can you apply today's message towards defining/refining your own moral compass?

Chris Dixon's recent piece on why decentralization matters is currently making the rounds online. It clearly explains the first two eras of the internet and how the third era is developing as we speak. Cue decentralized cryptonetworks.
I particularly like how he describes the relationship that centralized platforms – like Facebook – have to their users and to their complements (other businesses, software developers, creators, and so on).
Here are two graphs from his article:
In the early days it's all about cooperation and doing everything you can to attract users. The platform gets more valuable the more users are on it and so the immediate goal is to build up the network effects and lock people in.
But as the platform grows, the relationship flips (top of the S-curve). In Dixon's words, it becomes a zero-sum game whereby to continue growing the platform starts extracting data from its users and competing with its complements.
The promise of cryptonetworks is that they will do away with many of these negative externalities, but at the same time empower the kind of sophistication that we see today with centralized platforms.
The venture capitalists are circling because a fundamental shift in the architecture of the internet will mean disruption. I'm following it because I want to understand how it may apply to real estate and the built environment.

Introducing Goli Ashwa: The World's Most Powerful Ashwagandha Gummies - Keep Calm and De-Stress
The ancient Indian herb ashwagandha (Withania Somnifera) has been revered for its medicinal qualities for over 5,000 years and is rooted in Ayurveda. Ayurveda, a holistic and natural system of medicine, is based on the concept that health and wellness depend on a balance between physical and mental health by leveraging natural medicine.
Ashwagandha is also an adaptogen—a plant that helps the body maintain balance and adjust to stress. This function of Ashwagandha is well-documented and heavily backed by modern science.
KSM-66® is the highest concentration ashwagandha extract on the market and has the most extensive set of research behind it supporting various health benefits.
KSM-66® Ashwagandha has been clinically proven to:
- Help reduce stress and tension
- Help promote memory and cognitive function
- Support a healthy heart function
- Support endurance, strength, muscle size
- Improve sleep quality
- Support sexual function
- Support healthy weight management
- Support immune health
This extract has a strong scientific base with over 24 studies that support its effectiveness: 10 published studies, 6 additional studies complete and in peer review, and 8 ongoing studies.
The makers of KSM-66® vertically integrated its manufacturing to produce the highest quality and premium extract. They built a sustainable supply chain and a unique green extraction process that allows the herb to retain its benefits. It's the most highly bioavailable extract available on the market. Both traditionally and as well as in modern science, the roots of the ashwagandha plant (and not the leaves) have been recommended to be used for its adaptogenic properties. KSM-66® strictly uses the roots alone and no other part of the plant.
Eat one or two gummies twice throughout the day to experience the full benefits of Goli Ashwagandha.
We recommend taking two gummies, twice daily to get the maximum effect from taking Goli Ashwagandha.
KSM-66® Ashwagandha Root Extract, Vitamin D2 (Ergocalciferol), Organic Tapioca Syrup, Organic Cane Sugar, Water, Pectin, Natural Flavors, Malic Acid, Citric Acid, Sodium Citrate, Organic Fruit and Vegetable Juice (Color), Organic Sunflower Lecithin.
Goli Ashwagandha gummies are allergen-free and made in a certified allergen-free facility.
Keep your Goli gummies inside their container with the lid screwed firmly shut and keep the container in a cool, dry place.

$365,660.94 Award For $1 Million In Requested Work Was Not Enough Given The Nature Of The Dispute.
Equities do matter in decisions, and Robles v. Employment Development Dept., Case No. A148803 (1st Dist., Div. 4 Aug. 1, 2019) (published) is no exception in the private attorney general fee area.
Plaintiff earlier had won two appeals, generating published decisions, to gain unemployment benefits (actually, initial amount was $11,700) from EDD, which stubbornly refused to pay so to require a second phase of litigation and the second appeal. EDD finally paid, with Plaintiff's attorney seeking private attorney general fees of around $1 million for work going back to 2010. The lower court found that the first phase work was not compensable, but it awarded $365,660.94 for the subsequent work. Plaintiff appealed, which was a good thing—leading to the third published opinion in this odyssey.
The 1/4 DCA basically reversed and remanded, because it determined that the first phase litigation/appeal work was compensable. The result otherwise was incompatible with Whitley [our Leading Case No. 14] because only $11,700 was initially at issue, plaintiff had to expend $200,000 to chase down the benefits of $66,000 (once interest and other things were included), and plaintiff was in extreme poverty (having to relocate to the Philippines at some point).
On remand, the appellate court did indicate some justice needed to be done here given the lengthy delay in the overall proceedings, suggesting that the lower court use current hourly rates (rather than much lower hourly rates going to the 2010-plus time frame) or use lower hourly rates but augment them with some interest award on those lower hourly rates over time.

Some mornings I want to wake slowly. Watch myself in the mirror as I brush my teeth and give myself the benefit of the doubt. Some forgiveness.
Overall, we've done well. We're not finished by any means. There's still so much more living to do. But there are days—like this Summer Sunday morning, feeling closer to Autumn than Spring—that we're thankful, calm. Peaceful and happy because we're just fine with the being we've become.
Learning hasn't been easy. For years, I forced myself into the hardest path. Rarely taking advice. Choosing to find my own way, rather than take directions from someone claiming to know what was going to happen. Sure, they got here too—to their mornings of silent recognition. Satisfaction. A willingness to let the day fall where it may. Do nothing. Do something. Do everything. It's hard to tell, right now. Too early in the morning and the coffee hasn't hit the bloodstream.
In any case, I wouldn't be here if I hadn't chosen my path. I do regret bad decisions. The parts I played that negatively affected others. But I'm learning to accept those decisions, realize they are part of me, and I'm getting better at not getting hung up on regret. People that don't rise, that never really reach their potential, spend too much time beating themselves up for moments that have passed. There's always a way toward salvation. A way to accept yourself. To live with your demons. But you have to cut yourself some slack.
We have skeletons in our closets. Secrets we'll take to the grave. We shape our story each day with every moment. Action. Non-action. Love. Hate. Fun. Boredom. Generosity. Greed. Acts of kindness. Fights. The key is to focus on the good. Look for the light.
Like a fuzzy caterpillar on the sidewalk as you enjoy a sunshine morning stroll with your wife. A tiny thing of intricacy. Doing whatever it does. Thirty feet from the big lake. In a moment of time and space. Sharing existence and energy on this—our big trip—round and round the sun.

As the eleventh sign of the zodiac, Aquarius represents the eleventh stage in the evolution of humanity and one's place in the universe.
Aquarius takes on the role of making the organizations of society function as the people-oriented institutions they were intended to be. Aquarians are the original "organization people" of the zodiac.
Their societal orientation, loyalty, fairness, and objective nature are reasons why they tend to attract many friends and acquaintances in life. Though they are not above wanting to live well, many Aquarians are more interested in people than they are in amassing great wealth or taking on the responsibilities that invariably accompany such a life style. When they cannot afford some luxury, they rationalize why they didn't need it in the first place.
Aquarians are stubborn and resist changing their opinions or accepting new ideas that they do not like or with which they do not agree. Big changes in life are accepted as a challenge, but small changes that throw off their plans are not tolerated very well. The astrological symbol for Aquarius is the figure of a man pouring water. The water is seen as mankind's collective consciousness. It depicts Aquarians as disseminators of the spirit of humanity. Many Aquarians, in tune with their celestial heritage, are idealists who champion the highest principles to which humanity can aspire. However they are also extremely independent thinkers. When confronted with authoritarian demands or dogmatic principles to which they do not subscribe, they rebel. They may hesitate to take the initiative at times, but once they decide a situation or idea is worthwhile, they become involved and aggressive in pushing it forward. They don't mind being asked to do something but they resent being told to do it. Those who want to gain their favor will help share the work load without being asked.
Aquarians react to everything they experience in life with an intellectual orientation. Before they take physical action, before they assess the practical worth of something, and before they sort out their true emotions, they try to visualize it objectively as a kind of mental exercise. In relationships, their intellectual approach makes them appear interested but not particularly passionate or possessive. It does not necessarily mean they really lack passion. When they do focus their feelings, their passion can be as intense as it is inspirational.
The modern ruler of Aquarius is Uranus, planet of the unorthodox and eclectic mentality of mankind. The ancient ruler of Aquarius is Saturn, planet of restriction and structure. Sir William Herschel discovered Uranus on March 13, 1781 by telescope. Although seen by the ancients, no one had accepted Uranus as a planet because it was so dim, until Sir William Herschel. Astrologers later agreed on assigning this planet to Aquarius.
Such different characteristics between the planets Saturn and Uranus seem to directly contradict one another, but a close look at the Aquarian personality shows that both planets co-exist in a strangely compatible way. Aquarians demonstrate association with Uranus by being unpredictable. Saturn's influence gives them stability. The two influences generally mean that when Aquarians suddenly change course, or do something unpredictable, they are not likely to be acting on a whim or a bet but for some very practical or advantageous reason. They favor the unique as well as the traditional. Sometimes they are either so involved with the past (history and antiques) or so tuned in to the future (spaceships and neon clothes) they lose track of the present. Exhibiting the stability of Saturn, they may live unvaried, even boring lives; feeling very comfortable and secure in such an unchanging, stable environment. Sooner or later however, they are apt to encounter circumstances that make it hard for them to know what they will be doing next. They often adopt life styles and ideas that are counter to current trends. The odd and unique fascinate them, and they are rarely caught off guard by abnormal situations and strange people.
Aquarians are good eaters but may not care what's on the menu. Most of them are indifferent cooks. As long as they can participate with a partner, or as part of a team they are enthusiastic about sports and, as a result, may not have trouble keeping physically fit. When left on their own however, they may become lazy and reluctant to engage in what to them is a lonely series of exercises with which they quickly become bored. Broad jumping, camping, ballooning, tennis, swimming, racquetball, and baseball are some great activities for an Aquarius. Science and engineering, international finance, writing, music, psychology or social work are areas of special interest to Aquarians.
