On an almost daily basis customers come in wanting to see items from Cold Steel. This is mostly due to the crazy videos Cold Steel puts out on the internet, but these products are pretty cool. Cold Steel boasts that they have the "World's Strongest, Sharpest Knives." Whether that is actually true, we don't know, but these knives are pretty sharp out of the box. Cold Steel's goal for over 30 years has been to keep producing the sharpest, strongest knives on the market and in the process they have had success in creating unique and innovative products.
New this spring to Harry's is the Cold Steel FGX Karambit. This fixed blade knife is made out of Griv-Ex which is extremely strong reinforced fiberglass. Basically, this is a non metallic knife. This material also makes this knife super lightweight and unaffected by heat, cold, and moisture. The curved blade is also pretty unique. Another awesome product is the Cold Steel Kukri Machete. This machete can really do it all! Cut, scrape, chop, slash, hack, dig, you name it and the Kukri will do it! This machete comes with its own sheath as well.
If you are looking for something more…..practical, then check out the American Lawman Plain Edge Folding Knife. Built like a tank this pocket knife is super durable and has an extremely strong lock. The blade also has a black coating to aid in corrosion resistance. This would be a great option as an everyday carry knife.
If you are looking for a super sharp blade or just looking for a ultra cool tool, we would suggest getting something from Cold Steel. Browse our whole selection of Cold Steel products online or shop our selection in store.

Why did the vector cross the road?
It wanted to be normal.
Yah, I was expecting this question.
The explanation of value of infinity/ infinity is as following :-
Rule (a) suggests that the value of this fraction should be infinity
and the rule (b) suggests that the value of this fraction should be zero; hence we get a contradiction and the values suggested by numerator and denominator can't be made to agree.
In this case we arise to a conclusion that the value of this fraction
infinity/infinity is indeterminant.
Some other indeterminant forms can be quoted as:
0xinfininy and 0/0
Obiviously the second one fraction quoted above involves a no., i.e. 0, which is very well known to us and none can question its existence and still this fraction 0/0 is indeterminant.
One more thing, these indeterminant forms are very useful in higher maths and a very important L'Hospital Rule for finding limits is applicable only when a fraction is in indeterminant form 0/0 or inifinity/infinity.
And as for these rules (a) and (b) is concern, these can be assumed as basic postulates related with concept of inifinity
The logic seems acceptable.
It is easy to say 1/∞ is 0 because 1/0 is ∞,
just as 1/(a/b) = b/a.
If 1/a=b, it follows that 1/b=a
Indeterminate forms are only when both a and b are equal to zero,
or both a and b are equal to infinity.
Abishek, you missed another indeterminate form.
That is 0^0

It is no good to try to stop knowledge from going forward. Ignorance is never better than knowledge - Enrico Fermi.
Nothing is better than reading and gaining more and more knowledge - Stephen William Hawking.
one divided by x, as x approaches infinity. The limit is equal to zero.
I agree with you, eleusis
I think we must see these concepts as limits.
ok infinity is a concept and not a number it refers to something infinantly large, but it is used in math for limits ex: lim 1/oo x -> oo equals 0 if you use abs(F(x)-L)<e and x>n. it is also the basis for the theroy that we live in the forth dimension.
the 0 dimension has 1 point oo^0=1
the 1st dimension is a line with an infinant amount of points oo
if you run a line through every point of the 1st dimension you get a plane so you have infinity more points per point which is the same as oo^2
if you put a line through every point on the plane you get volume and and since there are infinity more points per point in the 3rd you get oo^3
so the 4th dimension would have to make 3d space infinatly larger (oo^4 points)and time does that since there isnt a limit to time making each point, but this is just a theroy and it doesnt matter any way. considering time to be a dimension is just tecniality and i doubt any scientific discoveries will result in seeing it one way or the other.
also please dont tell me i cant spell to save my life i already know that tks
Seeing as your working in theory rather than reality you can create a forth spatial dimension if you wish to - I'm just finishing off a piece on Tesseracts, which are, roughly speaking, the 4d equivalents to cubes.
∞, as you say, is a concept not a definable, numerical constant. If ∞ were treated as a number then mathematics basically starts to break down - ∞ is the largest number there is and cannot increase, so ∞*2 is the same as ∞*1. If 1X=2X then X isn't a number - it's either ∞ or 0.
I read an interesting site that tried to describe the enormity of ∞ - Things like that any number, no matter how huge or beyond the scope of the human mind to perceive (I think it gave 3^^^^3 as an example), is still closer to 0 than to infinity. I'd give a link, but my browser wiped all my bookmarks a few months ago so I'm not sure where the page is. (The site itself was about technological singularities basically, when we have the technology to make ourselves smarter. When were smarter well know how to make ourselves smarter still in a shorter time, and once weve done that well be smart enough to make ourselves even smarter . You get the picture. Essentially an exponential increase in human intellect, which would eventually tend to infinity, causing what the author described as ascension.)
eleusis is right
the lim(1/i) as i → ∞ = 0
what I really what to know is, what is 0/0 ???? heheheh that will stump a lot of you.
I can think of 4 possiblilities
0 over anything is 0 thus 0/0 = 0
anything over 0 = ∞ thus 0/0 = ∞
anything over itself = 1 thus 0/0 = 1
As a combination of the above 3 rules 0/0 = any and every number in exsistance including imaginary numbers
An artists perspective on math:
0/0 = 0
when nothing is absolute
0/0 = ∞
when something between nothing is everything
0/0 = 1
when zero is unique
0/0 = any and all real or imaginary #s
when spontaneous generation exists
1/∞ > 0
when everything excludes nothing
∞/∞ = 1
except when;
∞ ≠ ∞
How about -∞ (negative infinity)?
Subtracting infinity, would that be equal to zero or with the difference of its co-additive(s)?
or is it simply included as a part of inifinity itself?
You cannot divide by infinity as you cannot divide by 0. These two are each others opposite, and everything else is a compromiss between the two
As at night, we realise we will never Know and further thinking is pointless....Yet we start again and again
Hi Jims, and welcome to the forum ... I really like:
"0/0 = any and all real or imaginary #s
when spontaneous generation exists"
because that is part of my theory of the universe!
"The physicists defer only to mathematicians, and the mathematicians defer only to God ..." - Leon M. Lederman
There isn't anything spontaneus, randomity is relative to the starting values (ask me for more details I don't like annoying people with my theories)
As at night, we realise we will never Know and further thinking is pointless....Yet we start again and again
"randomity is relative to the starting values"
to what extent?
i doubt anyone here get's annoyed by theories
Think i'll start compiling a list a of philosophical math formulas:
When the white ball hits the triangle of the colored balls in snooker, a common man will say that the course of the colored balls will be "random", while a physician will calculate exactly how the balls will go if all factors (force, angle, .... ....) are given.
The word "random" is a relative term in probability mechanics, meaning that in a closed algorithm, the choice/action of a factor would be randomly determined.Because we don't have the means, time, and neccesivity to calculate every movement of the person's brain particles determining his choice, we could call his choice random.
But there are still begin values, such as the force, air/table resistance, angle, ball weight, ball surface cleanness, .. ... ... in the case of the snooker table.
On a global scale, the "initial push" values can not be tracked back without some sort of supercomputer.But they exist.Therefore, 0/0 could not contain spontaneously chosen numbers, only [spontaneus disregarding the initial values] or [according to initial values]
Because we are talking highly theoretical math here, we cannot disregard anything, hence no random numbers possible.
My theory:
1/0=∞ (as the amount of points on a line is infinite, so is the amount of nothings infinite in 1.So it is in 2,3,... but I guess we could speak of ∞², ∞³ ....)
0/0=1 (as there is only one point for 0 on a x,y axis table, as there is only one point in a point, one line in a line, so there is only one nothing in nothing.)
0/1=0 (no substance could be in nothing)
∞/0=∞ to the power of infinite(infinite in place of the ²)
0/∞=this one is hard. according to primary logic it's 0, but who knows....
correct me if I made mistakes
As at night, we realise we will never Know and further thinking is pointless....Yet we start again and again
Suppose, inifinity is a single number that is the sum total of every number, and that there is no limit to the number of numbers.
Directly we could compare inifinity to zero, as they are opposites in that zero is the sum absence of any number.
Indirectly, dividing everything by it's components, the only way to split it, and keep track of the size of any of it's pieces ...
each 1/∞ would equal anywhere from the smallest possible number above zero ("primary logic" says that is what 1/∞ defines), or to inifinity itself *; necessarily, referencing the range of the component (numerator in relation to surrounding points or comparable elements).
digital waveform
time - pitch - volume - frequency - shape
given zero for volume ... how many zeroes? if not the whole of time, then the NUMBER of zeroes becomes absolutely relevant. From that perspective, zero (as a constant), given multiple measurable qualities, requires the record of it's reference points.
and so,
0/∞ = inifinite zeroes
unless "primary logic" dictates the use of only one dimension at all times.
i'm guessing you meant;
"according to the single scope of numbers themselves"
*(seeing as with zero being a limit, and infinity having no limit, there should be two inifinities ... inifinitely large and infinitely small ... large being the common interpretation, language is tricky.)
This is ignoring "negative numbers". Standard use of negative numbers, as i understand it, present zero as a reference item. This readily presupposes the number zero as a set-up starting point rather than a value ... any value it is given is created as reference for the intended parameters measured. In my interpretation then, "negative numbers" themselves are wholy man-made and mainly used for pre-judged interpretation of values in relation to the reference. Common sense tends to point us in the same direction though.
to the Earth, is UP towards or away from the Sun? does Earth have an UP?
and so,
what are we looking at?
how much?
how many?
how many different things?
how many same things?
what kinds of things?
what is the resolution of our perception?
what is the quantity of parameters?
Interesting points.But check this out:
Infinity is not a number, infinity could indeed be endlessly small.For example, Pi:
An endless number, yet every digit that comes is smaller than the former.0,1 is smaller than three, 0.4 is smaller than 1... This means, if Pi would be drawn on an axis (how is that called in english, that orthonormal thing with the (x,y) it's lenght would constantly grow into infinite smallness, meaning it could never grow past the previous digit (the 0.1 could never grow beyond the 3) but still it would grow forever.
"Standard" infinity is everything, 0 is nothing.How could we explain 1?
And about those negative numbers: imagine a axis set (or how it might be called).Imagine us living in the I quadrant of the goniometric circle (+,+), for us only the positive things (matter, one-way at one time movement, one-way at a time time course) is possible.
On the same goniometric circle (or ball, regarding our would is (x,y,z)) there is a II quadrant (-,+) a third being the complete opposite of ours and a forth (+,-).
0 is the nothing in the middle, and different everythings in every direction....
And sorry, I could not answer the UP question because I don't know what an UP is.
And please explain the last group of questions, don't really understand them.
And I worked with 2 or 3 dimensions.

UP ... is directional ... but only in relation to established norms.
your mouth is presumably DOWN from your eyes ... and eye-brows are generally considered UP from the eyes.
what if you stand on your head? or look UP? then UP changes ... or does it?
is UP in relation to ones body or in relation to the ground (the Earth)?
is UP, the direction opposite of the net gravitational force affecting an object at point "zero"?
for me, UP would then be a direction quite different from the UP of someone on the other side of the globe. to the Earth (as a body) ... is there an UP ? or would there be infinite "UPs" radiating into space ... ? or is the Earths UP, the singular direction opposite the Sun? or is there no UP for the Earth, because it is an orbital body?
depending on the interpretation, there could be infinite or one or zero UP classifications.
therefore, it's important to keep in mind, in any determination of characteristics:
what are we defining?
for what purpose?
how many dimensions / parameters are we defining?
what are the definitions of the related parameters and how do they relate?
arguably, definitions of a single word can vary depending on the application.
like i said, language is tricky.
Sorry, you writing up in capitals confused me, thought it was some sort of an abbreviation.
Languages aren't tricky but outdated.They are made for everyday communication and are less used for relations of parameters.
Up can be: direction opposite to the direction of gravity, if the object according to which up is defined lies in the direct (non-orbital) contact to the field of gravitation.
Spacemen have no up, so does earth not have an up according to the sun as earth orbits it, it does not stand on it.
Me standing on earth (or any other gravity-giving celestial) does have an up, everything further from the celestial than I am is above me, and the direction from the celestial to it is up.As celestials are balls, the gravity is transmitted according to the form, therefore something further from the celestial on the opposite side of the celestial is still up.
Hence, up is strictly gravity-related.
As at night, we realise we will never Know and further thinking is pointless....Yet we start again and again
says you! ha!
... try looking up "up".
on the other hand,
1/∞ aproaches, but never quite goes up to zero.
... or is it down to zero?
languages aren't at all outdated ...
... words ... said ... mean ... things ... ugh!
languages are tricky in that there are multiple meanings for many words and therefore context is critical. speaking simply, languages need to evolve (and do) to suit our uses for communicating ideas and stuff. they are tricky because in order to properly create new meanings for words yet spoken we must follow parameters established by what has already been said, splitting infinitives here, to advancingly and prescriptively create useful, new context.
it computes, and is therefore proclaimed a "computer"
it looks like a mouse, let's call it a "mouse"
they speak! ... they call themselves "speakers"
in terms of the rate at which language changes versus the recent alarmingly fast rate of new technology in parallel with an evolving understanding of reality, the universe, etc. ...
still, you'd think we would have a word for the formula:
try this angle;
looking up at ∞ we see the solar system, the galaxies, the whole of the cosmos ... and more, imaginably ...
looking down at 1/∞ we see the micro-organisms, the molecules, the atoms ... and less, perceivably ...
inifinity from our vantage point ...
+∞ as UP
-∞ as DOWN
strictly talking about size here.
or is that non-PC to short persons?
how about "ytinifini" ?
any takers?
a bargain at twice the price!!!
I think they often call 1/? infintessimal, try checking it out on mathworld (google mathworld, it's the first result).
The way I look at it:
limit f(x) as 1->? is 0
This is especially true if we are applying 1/? in a prarical setting.
hmm..i don't know why, but my infinity sign came out as a '?'
∞ use:

The home crowd was deafening, but the message sent by the home team Sunday night was even more earsplitting: Look out for us in January.
In a much-anticipated meeting between NFC West teams, the Seahawks humiliated the 49ers 42-13, handing Jim Harbaugh the worst loss of his 31-game tenure in San Francisco on his 49th birthday.
After the beat-down was over, the 49ers acknowledged the obvious: They were bullied and battered by the more aggressive team.
"They came out and were more physical than we were," safety Donte Whitner said.
Summed up cornerback Carlos Rogers: "It was a punch in the face."
"We didn't do good enough," Harbaugh said. "We didn't coach well enough. We didn't play well enough."
The defense was a disaster. The loss was a total team effort.
"Oh Mer Gerd"

Mike Rogers: You Can't Have Your Privacy Violated If You Don't Know About It
from the say-what-now? dept
Rogers: I would argue the fact that we haven't had any complaints come forward with any specificity arguing that their privacy has been violated, clearly indicates, in ten years, clearly indicates that something must be doing right. Somebody must be doing something exactly right.This is kind of astounding. According to Mike Rogers, you can apparently violate his privacy, so long as he doesn't know about it. How is it that such a person is supposedly in charge of oversight of the intelligence community? He honestly believes that as long as the NSA spies on people privately, their privacy isn't violated?
Vladeck: But who would be complaining?
Rogers: Somebody who's privacy was violated. You can't have your privacy violated if you don't know your privacy is violated.
Vladeck: I disagree with that. If a tree falls in the forest, it makes a noise whether you're there to see it or not.
Rogers (astounded): Well that's a new interesting standard in the law. We're going to have this conversation... but we're going to have wine, because that's going to get a lot more interesting...

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - The UC Santa Barbara women's swimming and diving team has achieved Scholar All-American status, the College Swimming Coaches Association of America announced this week.
The CSCAA presents the Team Scholar All-American award to college and university swimming and diving teams who have achieved a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher.
"Our women distinguish themselves in the pools and in the classroom," said Gaucho head coach Gregg Wilson. "We've have had another good year in both and I couldn't be prouder of this group."

How to write good articles
There's an art to writing good articles on newzealand.com. Below you'll find some tips to help you create content travellers will love.
What are articles for?
Articles on newzealand.com provide information and tell stories about special features, experiences or attractions in New Zealand. These stories help tourists plan their trip to New Zealand.
If you have a tourism business, please note that business listings rather than articles are used to advertise your product offering. Articles that describe a particular business or product without offering additional information (like travel tips or stories about the area) are not considered good content, and will not be published.
If the article you're publishing is based on a media release, please see the note on media releases at the bottom of this page.
Here are some examples of good articles:
Getting started
- To create a new article, log into your account on newzealand.com – you'll see 'Sign in' in the top black bar near the search.
- Click on 'Profile' to open your dashboard.
- Next click 'Your articles' in the left hand menu. Then click the button that says 'Add an article'
Make sure you are in the correct edition of the site before you begin writing your article. For example, if you are an American travel seller, you can write your article on the US edition of newzealand.com. This will help your article's rankings on this edition. To do this, choose United States in the drop down menu in the top right corner of the page.
TIP: If your country edition is in English, your article will display across all English language editions of our site.
Step 1. Content
Write your article's title, summary and main (body) content.
Article Title
Your article title should be clear and relevant. It should imply what the article is about and where it refers to, so as not to be misleading. For example, 'Top Adventure Activities' would be better written as 'Top Adventure Activities in Rotorua'.
The summary introduces the content of your article. This should be interesting and work as a hook to entice readers to click on your article to read more. This will be shown in the search results on newzealand.com.

Italian Tile Style: Understated Yet Deeply Luxurious Tile for the Kitchen
This past week I took a trip to Venice, Italy, and this included a short jaunt to Bologna to check out the huge European tile show, CERSAIE. This show concentrates primarily on the bath, but I came away with serious tile lust for a few designs from the Bouroullec brothers and others, designed for Mutina, a luxury Italian tile company. These tiles rely on texture to balance an understated use of color. Now, these may look a little boring from this vantage point, but click through and step closer…
…see? Texture!
I love understated tile like this. It makes you get up close, and it looks different from different viewpoints. It also emphasizes tile as a concrete, interesting object — not just a smooth printed surface.
Textural tiles like these of course aren't always best suited for high-splatter areas like the backsplash, but a strip of tile can make a great accent behind a shelf or on a side wall in the kitchen.
• 1 Pico Ronan and Erwan Bourellec for Mutina.
• 2 Pico – This line was released last year.
• 3 Pico – Up close, it's matte and textured, almost like cardboard with dots pressed into it.
• 4 Folded – Raw Edges for Mutina.
• 5 Folded – This tile looks like crumpled paper. Really, really gorgeous, and super hard to communicate in photos. Amazing in person.
• 6 Phenomenon – Tokujin Yoshioka for Mutina.
• 7 Phenomenon – I've been such a fan of this stuff for a while. It's lovely in person – so textured.
• 8 Phenomenon – Definitely not something for practical areas, but would make the most lovely accent.
• 9 Oversized Tile – from Petraluxe.
• 10 Oversized Tile – Now for something a little different. I really liked these enormous, wall-spanning ceramic tiles from Petraluxe. Think about having a backsplash of just one big tile…
High-end tile is generally best sourced and priced out through a distributor or a kitchen or bath designer (good luck finding easy retail access to these things!).

Having watched Higurashi Season One one episode at a time as they were released, I decided this time to be a little more patient, wait till I had each arc/chapter downloaded, and watch it as a chunk. That said, I need to find out how many episodes are in each arc without getting any spoilers. So I figured I'd ask here.
So... how many episodes will there be in each of the arcs? If you don't know for all of them, then at least can you tell me how many were/are in the first arc?
Anyhow, thanks

"Omochikaeri desu ka?" is the way they'd ask you, in a fast food place in Japan, wether you'd like that to go. So, though I haven't seen the episode in question yet, my guess is that Rena is saying: "I'll take you to go!" in a way that has a hint of "You're so cute I could just to take you home and eat you up".

huh? actually, it isn't exactly that anyway.
you could always try to skip onikakushi (first 4 episodes).
but truely enough, the creepiest "scariest" part of the anime is only the first chapter, that's it. (in some extent, maybe Watanagashi-hen, chapter 2, but it is much more "insane" based rather than creepy)
if you just can stand the first chapter, then you shouldn't have any problem with the rest.
but if you are THAT scared cat, i'm just wondering how you could stand elfen lied then.
I repeat : the gore you can see in higurashi is extremely "soft" compared to elfen lied. everything is much more psychological, though really, it is gradually toned down the more you follow the series. so, being afraid to see "innards" and fancy stuff won't do, since you won't see anything of that sort (well, at the very best, 2 shots, nothing more)
ah and before you still think it is really horrifying, the "scary" and gore part worth only at most 20-30% of the whole season 1.
as for season 2, no, no way you can classify as creepy and/or gory. and again, it doesn't make sense to watch it prior season 1.

Other examples include:
Watching Evangelion The Movie without watching Ep. 1-26 of Evangelion TV series (even though one still doesn't get it then www)
Gunbuster 2 before watching Gunbuster 1 (you won't understand the ending)
Alien 3 before Aliens and Alien
Terminator 2 before Terminator
Godfather Pt. III before Pt. II and Pt. I (though I believe you can skip III altogether because that was utter crap)

At first it was like "EW! Must cover eyes!" but by the sixth episode it was like "Oh...look at the fountain of blood shooting from the policeman's neck....LOL!"
I may attempt to watch Higu again...the only big problem is, it takes away my appetite and I am too underweight...
I s'pose I could just cover my eyes....

Still, Higurashi builds off itself so much. The second season isn't so much a new series as much as it is a direct continuation.

The real big thing between Elfen Lied and Higurashi's level of violence and blood is that Elfen Lied, out of a few moments, the bloody spectacles really don't mean much other than to show that Lucy is cold killer. Aside from the first episode, and the bit with the dog, you kind of get desensitized because it just doesn't become shocking anymore.
Higurashi, the deaths mean something, and they're built upon with suspense. Each event is lead into with weight, making them happen with greater impact, making them all the more shocking. Not to mention that the setting helps, considering the idyllic village and the ages of the main characters.

I have a very basic question about Higurashi I + II. I haven't seen it yet because as much as I gathered Higurashi I alone is an unfinished work and because I was scared away by the effort it apparently takes to understand it. Higurashi II will conclude the story(s) if I got that right so that settles the first problem.
What remains is the second one: Is the show penetrable and enjoyable for a moderately intelligent, moderately attentive person who just watches the show? Or are all the hints and FAQs actually necessary to not leave you with merely a string of "What?" "Huh?" "Eh?" and "WTF?" moments?
Mind you, I'm not expecting the interlectual level of Coyote Ragtime here. My question simply is: Is the show (both seasons) understandable as a standalone work or not? Should I watch it or spend my precious time on other anime?

For the relative enjoyement of the series themselves, it depends of your tastes. I believe you just have to fetch some "non spoiler" information for the "structure" and development of the said story. Aside of this, you can follow this anime without any problem or required aid.
Mind you, I believe it is quite a waste to not consult the translated informations on AS. (at least TIPS are really a good plus, and not spoiler at all)
Granted, again, considering how successful the season is so far, you can definitely give the whole series a try, as long as you are enjoying psychological thriller, drama, wrapped with some touch of moe and comedy. (fear not the contrast isn't half assed or uncalled for)

Considering the comments of Rika about Keiichi's memories, it is more like a coincidence, or rather "miracle".
Before Tsumihoroboshi-hen, which is supposed to happen just before Minagoroshi-hen, no one has ever remember of the "past", or rather the other worlds.
thus, the answer is kinda a "no", if we consider the timeline of the story.
but as you can see, the more Rika "loop", the more the others actors can have stealth glimpses of the previous events, even unconsciously. but the rate and information are extremely low.

Zelda Piekarska
Born: July 27, 1927
Sosnowiec, Poland
Zelda was born to a close-knit Jewish family in Sosnowiec, a city in the coal-mining region of Poland. Her father owned a restaurant and also co-owned a chocolate and candy factory. Zelda loved to dance; she was an excellent tap dancer.
1933-39: On September 4, 1939, the Germans entered Sosnowiec. My family was at Father's store when the German tanks rolled down the street. I saw people lying on the ground but didn't understand why. My mother told me they were dead. Later, the Germans forced Father to close his stores and we were sent to Srodula, the ghetto in Sosnowiec. The Germans seized our valuables and we were moved into a tiny space with other families.
1940-44: On Saturday, June 26, 1943, the Germans assembled us in the town square. They pulled me from my family by my hair, telling me, "We will be very good to you. We're going to have a wonderful time." They put me on a cattle car bound for a labor camp at Breslau-Guentherbruecke in Germany. I was assigned to work as a mechanic, but my manager realized I knew nothing about cars. He wanted me killed, but a sympathetic German soldier intervened and the next day I was put on another detail.
Zelda spent two more years in labor camps. She was liberated on May 8, 1945, by the Soviet army. She spent four years in Germany and then immigrated to America in 1949.

Quackwatch Sued For Suggesting Medical Lab Quackery
from the name-what's-wrong dept
Barrett has written a few times about a medical lab named Doctor's Data, that he feels is helping certain medical practitioners defraud patients through misleading results. Here's one example of such a report. You'll notice that it's pretty detailed in explaining why Barrett has problems with the use of these reports.
Doctor's Data, understandably, did not take too kindly to all of this and sent a cease & desist letter at the beginning of June. I have to say, I've seen an awful lot of cease-and-desist letters sent to websites accusing them of defamation, but there's something about this one that just... sounds off. I can't quite place it, but the letter seems a bit less formal than the typical C&D. It also doesn't cite any laws or legal precedent, which is common, but certainly not always present. That said, Barrett was quick to respond politely (even "thanking" the lawyer for the letter), despite the legal threat:
I take great pride in being accurate and carefully consider complaints about what I write. However, your letter does not identify a single statement by me that you believe is inaccurate or "fraudulent." The only thing you mention is my article about how the urine toxic metals test is used to defraud patients: (http://www.quackwatch.org/t). The article's title reflects my opinion, the basis of which the article explains in detail.Rather than provide the details of what Doctor's Data felt was defamatory, another partner at the same law firm sent a shorter cease & desist, that again, has a somewhat less formal style than the usual C&D:
If you want me to consider modifying the article, please identify every sentence to which you object and explain why you believe it is not correct.
You have been making false statements about Doctor's Data and have damaged this company's business and reputation, and you have done so for personal gain and your own self-interest, disguised as performing a public service. ... Your writings and conduct are clearly designed to damage Doctor's Data. ... If you don't retract your false claims and issue a public apology, the lawsuit will be filed.Barrett responded, pointing out that he'd asked for specific evidence and hadn't been provided any. Instead of actually highlighting what Doctor's Data felt was wrong, the firm then filed the lawsuit instead. The lawsuit runs the gamut of the standard claims in these sorts of lawsuits: restraint of trade; trademark dilution; business libel; tortious interference with existing and potential business relationships; fraud or intentional misrepresetation; and violating federal and state laws against deceptive trade practices.

Arsenal FC defender Johan Djourou will join UEFA Europa League hopefuls Hannover 96 on loan for the remainder of the season.
After medical tests yesterday, the 25-year-old Swiss international joined Hannover at their training camp in Portugal. His only competitive appearances for Arsenal this season have been in the English League Cup.
"Due to the absences of Felipe and Leon Andreasen, we needed to take action in defence," explained Hannover coach Mirko Slomka. "With his physical robustness, his tactical understanding and his great commitment, he will be an asset in my opinion." The club's sporting director Jörg Schmadtke added: "Johan Djourou is a professional with international experience, and we are sure that he can help us immediately."
Hannover take on FC Anji Makhachkala in the UEFA Europa League round of 32, while Arsenal are up against FC Bayern München in the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League.

The latest developments in no-till crop management will be showcased during the No-Till Crop Production Field Day on July 24 at the University of Tennessee Research and Education Center at Milan.
This will be the 25th anniversary of the event, known the world over for its prominence in the research and development of no-till agricultural practices.
Thousands of farmers, agribusiness representatives, and interested participants are expected to turn out for the field day and for the associated community activities including the No-Till Antique Tractor and Engine Show and the National Cotton Women's Committee cotton fashion show and luncheon.
In addition to the usual discussions of advancements in row crop production, the featured topic will be the production and management of switchgrass as an energy crop. University of Tennessee experts from a variety of departments, including biosystems engineering and plant pathology and soil sciences, will be on hand to explain the latest information and technologies.
Sponsored by the University of Tennessee Agricultural Experiment Station, the event will feature at least 12 in-depth tours of active research plots and projects, covering topics involving soybean and corn production, to weed control, switchgrass storage and more. An overview tour of the center will also be available to visitors during the field day. This riding tour will highlight the various research projects being completed at the Milan Research and Education Center.
"The Milan No-Till Field Day is an opportunity to showcase a portion of the work we are doing. It allows crop-growers and community members to learn how to use the no-till method," said Center Director Blake Brown. "There are many benefits to no-till, the main one being a decrease in rates of soil erosion. But the most recently recognized benefit is the decrease in fuel usage. Not tilling the soil allows crop growers to make fewer trips across the land, which ultimately decreases the amount of fuel they use each season. And, because of the price increase of fuel over the past few years, the no-till method can save growers money."
No-till was started during the 1960's, during a time when West Tennessee had the highest rate of soil erosion in the country. Crop-growers lost tons of top soil annually, and they needed a way to keep topsoil in the field, instead of allowing it to be carried off into streams and rivers. After the no-till technique was established, other benefits were discovered. Growers spend less time in the fields, and there is not as much wear and tear on equipment.
The Milan No-Till Crop Field Day allows people to see how the no-till technique began, and what researchers are doing to make it even better for today's growers.

Manufacturing (Gluten-Free)
NoGii manufacturing and the very sensitive topic of gluten-free manufacturing
ALL NoGii Products are manufactured in a facility approved and certified by the stringent testing of the Gluten-Free Certification Organization (GFCO)
- Ingredients review, down to the original supplier
- Onsite inspections by experienced, trained independent (third party) Field Inspection Agents
- Product and ingredient testing using scientifically AOAC approved testing methods
- GFCO certification mark located on product packages for easy identification
Here is some important and hopefully comforting information about our "zero-tolerance" allergen cross-contamination manufacturing practices.
With 30 years of manufacturing "allergy sensitive" products, we have a disciplined approach to allergen management procedures and policies, and a stringent "highly rated" sanitation program. In addition, we have incorporated different allergen management strategies that are all compliant to all regulatory requirements (GMP, SQG, Food Safety and Food Defense).
Starting with product production and ingredient sourcing, we only use dedicated, single source ingredient suppliers who do all parts of production - from growing, to harvesting, milling and packaging. This provides the least possible risk of contamination of allergens. Each ingredient supplier must provide written documentation on product specification and analysis, processing conditions and certifications.
Additional certification is then required from a 3rd party that all the ingredients have been tested by an independent lab to confirm they are allergy-free and gluten-free. After production, our finished products are then tested for gluten and allergens after every batch produced. All testing is through the well-respected Brunswick Labs.
The following list should generally outline the approach we have incorporated:
- Adopted a "zero tolerance" philosophy for allergen cross-contamination.
- Conducted an allergen risk assessment as part of our Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) program.
- Trained all associates in allergen management strategy. Including R&D, production, maintenance and sanitation.
- Made sure that all incoming ingredients are clearly labeled and that the labels are reviewed periodically to assure suppliers have not changed ingredients without notice.
- Have a clear allergen storage policy, including a procedure for spill cleanups.
- Designed equipment to facilitate cleaning and prevent allergen harborage niches.
- Schedule production to prevent cross-contamination.
- Clean between runs of allergen ingredients.
- Clearly identify work-in-process materials and rework. Have a clear rework policy.
- Reject in-process materials or finished product suspected of cross-contamination.
- Have a process for reviewing labels prior to use, and confirm that the correct labels are used in process.
- Conduct internal audits or use a third party auditor (NSF) to assess the allergen management strategy. Our facility must undergo inspection by the National Sanitation Foundation. The company scored 97 percent on its latest inspection - the highest rating NSF has ever given.
We proactively provide consumers with quick, honest answers. One of the benefits of the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act, which we have incorporated into our policies, is that our good labeling practices let consumers know that we care and we want to help.
Yours in Good Health,
The NoGii Team

Christie Gives Full Support to Rutgers Hierarchy [VIDEO]
Embattled Rutgers University is embroiled in yet another scandal and this one shows no signs of letting up. Newly-hired Rutgers Athletic Director Julie Hermann is under fire for allegedly calling members of the University of Tennessee volleyball team, "whores" and "alcoholics." A new report says Hermann was also involved in a discrimination lawsuit while at Louisville.
Tonight on Townsquare Media's monthly "Ask the Governor" program, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie voiced strong support for the hierarchy at Rutgers, but not necessarily for Hermann.
"I don't know Julie Hermann," says Christie. "I've never met Julie Hermann. I've never spoken to Julie Hermann. I wasn't involved in her recruiting or her vetting or anything else as I should not be. I'm the governor of New Jersey. I'm not the recruiter for Rutgers University. My point on all of this is, let Rutgers handle this."
In the Louisville lawsuit, Hermann was a witness and not a defendant according to Christie. He says to be a subject of a lawsuit you have to be sued.
The governor says Hermann should be defended in areas where she needs to be defended.
Rutgers President Bob Barchi and the school's General Counsel, John Farmer have Christie's total support.
Asked by the show's host, News Director Eric Scott if he's comfortable with Hermann as Rutgers athletic director, Christie said, "It's not my call."
Earlier this week, the Star-Ledger reported that all 15 members of the University of Tennessee volleyball team that Hermann coached in 1996 wrote a letter to the university complaining that Hermann humiliated them and mentally abused them. Today comes word from the New York Times that Hermann was involved in a discrimination lawsuit at Louisville, where an assistant track coach said she was fired for complaining about discriminatory treatment.

'American Idol' Contestant Chelsea Sorrell Powers Through Carrie Underwood's 'Cowboy Casanova'
Fighting to become the first female 'American Idol' winner in five seasons, the Top 12 'Idol' girls took the intimidating stage tonight to test their singing chops and try to win America's heart (and their votes). First up was 23-year-old Stokesdale, North Carolina native Chelsea Sorrell, who took on a song that required some very big and very controlled pipes: 'Idol' alum Carrie Underwood's sassy 'Cowboy Casanova.'
After showing a montage of Sorrell driving around her hometown and talking about the amenities the small southern town does (and does not) offer – "There's the second stoplight" — Sorrell steps up to the plate for her moment of truth. Sporting a sequined black dress, leather pants and a red jacket, the adorable country gal brought the power required for the anthem and definitely got the audience involved — though the range and control in her voice were slightly compromised by her nerves.
"You definitely can sing," Randy Jackson offered when the performance ended. "You've got a huge big voice, and you showed it with that big note at the end." Still, he questioned Sorrell's song choice, pointing out that they've already seen the Carrie Underwood thing done in the past, and this round was really about setting herself apart from everyone else. Jackson concluded, "Definitely strong vocals and a good way to start it off."
Jennifer Lopez was encouraging to the talent while also agreeing with Jackson's observations. "I'm a huge fan of you Chelsea," she said, adding that she felt this particular performance was a bit nasally, which didn't let everyone hear the best parts of her voice. However, understanding as always, Lopez threw in: "It sucks to go first," to which the young talent agreed.
Steven Tyler reminded Sorrell to watch her phrasing and timing, pointing out that he could hear her heart beating from where he was sitting. With a bit of an encouraging tone, he left the young hopeful with a bit of helpful advice, saying, "And when it's time to belt it out, belt it out good."

St Lawrence, Ilketshall is a village and civil parish in the Waveney District of Suffolk in eastern England. One of the "Saints", in 2010 its population was 160.
A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description of Ilketshall St. Lawrence from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72:
The "Saints" are a group of parishes (usually with a village) in Suffolk, England, between the rivers Blyth and Waveney near to the border with Norfolk. The parishes are all named after their general area of South Elmham (to the west) or Ilketstall (to the east) plus the saint to which their parish church is dedicated. Known by locals as 'up the Parishes' the area is found between the small towns of Halesworth, Harleston, Bungay and Beccles.
During World War II signposts were removed which resulted in many US Airman having difficulty finding the way back to RAF Bungay at Flixton and other local airfields including Metfield. Ilketshall is named after the 'hall of Alfkethill'. South Elmham comes from the Anglo-Saxon "hamlet where elms grew" and is first mentioned in Domesday Book of 1086 as "Almeham".

Sunday Brunch: Corn Muffins with Candied Bacon
How to make the best meal of the week even better.
Editor's note: Each Saturday morning we bring you a Sunday Brunch recipe. Why on Saturday? So you have time to shop and prepare for tomorrow.
Get the Recipe
The interplay of sweet and savory carries through both elements of this simple brunch dish. Sweet corn, touched with just a bit of salt and black pepper, complements smoky candied bacon.
These muffins make a great contribution to a potluck, or can be used as a sweet and savory side for a hearty chili or stew. Versatile quick breads like these are a great addition to your culinary arsenal, especially when you need that one extra dish to fill out a brunch table when unexpected guests stop by.
To me, the star of the show is the candied bacon, which is why the recipe calls for eight strips even though you only need six for the muffins. when you really only need six for the muffins. Trust me, you'll be thankful for those extra two pieces one you give them a taste.

I'm looking at putting together a DVR (Digital Video Recorder) box for myself here at home. I've found the motherboard, CPU, RAM, hdd, etc., etc. ... the problem is this: I really like the case because of its TINY size (read: 4 1/2 height AGP/PCI slots on the case), but at the same time this is causing a real problem for me. Does anyone know of a 1/2-height AGP TV Tuner card that is compatible with Linux? I already have a full-height 2X AGP ATI AIW in my other box (massive and lots of fans, etc); I'm just looking for a new card that will do the following:
* Must be 1/2 height form factor.
* AGP is great; AGP 4X compatibility is fantastic.
* Must have onboard hardware DVD decoding (as this box will be used for DVD viewing also).
... and that's about it. Any ideas? Shuttle's SV24 and SS50/40 are simply too expensive - the case was $20, mb $20, memory I had laying around, as well as a hdd, DVD drive, and the rest.
Any personal experience in this would be GREAT to hear about, as this is my first shot at this kind of "computer-***-component" build ... but I've been building PC's for about 15 years now, so I definitely am not a newbie at this.

Peanut producers might expect a slight increase in the prices received for their crop this year, and possibly even next year, but it still won't be anywhere near what growers were getting before the 2002 farm bill, says Tim Hewitt, University of Florida Extension economist.
"We thought we'd see more of a decrease in our peanut acreage after the 2002 farm bill, but our farmers in the lower Southeast have shown that they will continue to grow peanuts," said Hewitt at the recent Southern Region Agricultural Outlook Conference in Atlanta.
In the lower Southeast, including Florida, Georgia and Alabama, there is more acreage fluctuation in peanuts and cotton, he says, with more growers using custom operators. "We did see lower acreages this year for peanuts and cotton, and we had a tremendous amount of disease problems in peanuts in the Southeast, at least in Georgia, Florida and Alabama," he says.
With farm bill discussions continuing, there were changes in the peanut program when storage and handling fees were not covered in the final year of the 2002 legislation, says Hewitt.
Looking at current conditions, peanut carryout has dropped, demand has stabilized somewhat, exports are up slightly, and production costs have increased, he says. "But we continue to see indications that the price probably will be up somewhat. It looks as though some of the contracts being offered just before harvest season were improved over this time last year," he says.
Turning to costs, Hewitt says growers in the lower Southeast have seen increases in fertilizer of nearly 50 percent in the past four years. "Fuel costs are up by about 70 percent in the past four years while equipment costs have risen by 3 to 5 percent in the past two to three years. We had a situation for a few years where there was a gradual increase or no increase in equipment costs," he says.
Obviously, he says, crop production costs continue to rise. "And if we're not getting higher yields, the net profits that we realize are going down. We really haven't seen a tremendous increase in yields. Of course, we've had dry weather and heavy disease pressure," says Hewitt.
Last year, U.S. peanut production was down 29 percent, and there was a decrease of about 30 percent in the carryover in 2006, he says. In addition, stocks are down by about 23 percent from this same time last year. Acreage for 2007 is down by about .5 percent, says Hewitt.
"We had a late-planted crop this year and we'll have a later harvest. That could cause potential problems depending on weather conditions," he says.
On the demand side, edible use of peanuts has slowed in the past two years, says the economist. "Exports are up by about 23 percent over last year, so that's a good sign. But total disappearance for the 2006-07 marketing year is up by only 1 percent," he says.
Peanut yields this year are estimated at 2,800 pounds per acre, says Hewitt. "But not many people think we'll get to 2,800 pounds. We do have a lot of irrigated peanuts in Florida and Georgia, and we could see some good yields. But there will be a lot of poor yields. Even the growers with irrigation have seen problems this year, and their yields probably will be down somewhat."
For the previous five years, the average U.S. peanut yield has been at approximately 2,800 pounds, says Hewitt. "This shows that if anything, we're trending downward in terms of yields in the past five to 10 years. We're not doing as well as we expect to be doing or as well as we should be doing. Our five-year average definitely should be better than our past 10-year average. Even though it is showing somewhat of an upwards trend, we're still having trouble increasing our yields."
Varieties, he says, constantly change in peanut production. "A lot of new varieties come onto the market each year. We have our standby varieties. But eventually, all of the other problems start to show themselves, and the older varieties lose some of their advantages such as disease resistance. And we start to lose some of the market because the variety is showing some problems.
"There probably is something in the pipeline that will be resistant to some of the disease problems we're experiencing. Many times, however, the market doesn't want some of these varieties with good resistance properties — they are not the right size or they don't meet other characteristics."
Georgia Green, says Hewitt, has been the standard in the lower Southeast for more than 10 years.
There are many "pockets" of peanut production, he says. In some of these, the acreage remains fairly stable, while in newer production areas, acreage is increasing. "Mississippi peanut acreage continues to increase and will probably pass South Carolina in the near future. The predominant areas remain basically the same although there have been some shifts, especially in Alabama.
"There has been a decrease in southeast Alabama, shifting to the southwest part of the state, and there are several reasons for this, including more productive land and more favorable weather patterns. But there is no location in this past year that has experienced a tremendous decrease in acreage while a few areas have seen increases."
Nationwide, there was a slight decrease in peanut acreage in 2007, says Hewitt. "Georgia cut back by a fair amount of acres, and Alabama and Florida dropped a few. But Texas increased again. In fact, Texas made up for most of the decreases in the other states. We'll probably continue to see an increase in Mississippi, and that state had its first peanut field day this year."
U.S. ending stocks were down for the 2006-07 marketing year and are expected to be down even more for 2007-08, says Hewitt.
"That bodes well for price. We have a system where price is set, but there are sometimes incentives for growers. Shellers want to be sure and cover all of their contracts. We may see some incentives next year for peanut producers. A lot depends on what is grown next year, a lot depends on what happens with the farm bill, and a lot depends on what will happen with corn and soybean acreage next year.

For centuries, Independence Square has been Kiev's vibrant heart and the country's most historic location. This is where revolutions have taken place (as recently as 2014), victories have been celebrated and many festivals are held, even today. Friends meet up by the Independence Monument, children play in the fountain and the sunny terraces always draw a crowd.
Maidan Nezalezjnosti (Independence Square) is usually just called Maidan, 'the square'. The top floor of the enormous Hotel Ukrayina offers the best view: to the left is the conservatory, to the right the concert hall, and in the centre stands the 40-metre-high Independence Monument topped by a representation of the Slavic goddess Berehynia. Behind the monuments is a fountain with heroic sculptures representing the 4 founders of the city and a replica of a city gate with Archangel Michael. This city square is packed with symbolism.
"The many name changes of the square illustrate Kiev's turbulent history"
Cross Square, Duma Square, Sovjet Square, Kalinin Square, Square of the October Revolution and finally, Independence Square: the square's many name changes tell the story of Kiev and the Ukraine's turbulent history. At the beginning of the 19th century, this area was nothing more than a swamp: the first houses were built around 1830. During the Industrial Revolution, Kiev underwent a rapid growth and the square became the city's commercial centre. In World War II, the square was completely destroyed and then rebuilt from scratch. In 1991, the Ukraine gained its independence from the Soviet Union and the square was renamed Independence Square. After the controversial 2004 presidential election, Independence Square became the epicentre of the Orange Revolution: a series of demonstrations and protests that followed the questionable election results. 10 years later the fight between pro-Russian and pro-European sympathizers flared up again; in February 2014 dozens of people were killed and hundreds were injured at the Maidan.
The most striking building on Independence Square is Hotel Ukrayina; it was built in 1961 and for many years it was known as Moskva. It was designed as a palace with a Stalinist architectural style. However, Soviet leader Khrushchev ordered the building to be stripped of all unnecessary decorations: the grand entrance with marble columns was removed and countless statues, reliefs and the giant red star on the roof were taken away. To many, the giant concrete square box is an eyesore. There are plans to demolish the building but for now you can still book a room here. For 50 euros you can sleep in a 4-star room with a 5-star view of Independence Square.

That calls into question what exactly they did do to each other. Mzma looked like he was eaten by Ckry, Szzu and Ckry were supposedly nuked by Xnfe, and Xnfe looked like she was offed by WRS.
In turn, that calls into question what WRS and the Apostles were planning. Do they really kill anyone, or do they just put them into some interdimensional limbo for losing The Game?

Actually more like Maya Sakamoto, who is a great singer aside from being an actress.
Everyone else keeps calling her white.
Stella says it herself after the battle when WRS simply goes back to her chair and lays there.

4th wall breaking?
I find it strange how WRS went from being an idol to the harbinger of destruction. I wonder if Gibson made some challenge to her where she gives him her DNA to make clone warriors for a showdown.
The apostles could have easily wiped the Earth much sooner if they were serious about it. Maybe they were meant to hold back to face Gibson's clones. Since nearly all of Gibson's clones lost, the population was reduced accordingly.

Anyways, this is kinda out of the blue, but....which cannon is this one?
Like, it's the "normal" one, or is it from some skill or something? o.o [Like the vulcannon and others...]

Blue Square. It's the 2nd weapon she gets in the game, the one that Nana gives her along with her old clothes and booster unit.
And before someone pastes it in the wiki under some "types of rock cannons" section, that's not a rock cannon. Neither is Daiharukon and Hyperion. The only Rock cannon in the game the starter that's actually called Rock Cannon.

You don't, I say.
Just list off all the weapons, and their attributes? Unless of course there are enough weapons in the game that constitute categories based on fire-rate/weight/some-type-of-category/etc.

There's basically 2 categories. For armaments, and the skills that are attack based as sub armaments. As to the main weapons,
Rock Cannon (start off with): Attack:15/Shots:6
Blue Square (From Nana): Attack: 20/Shots 7
Dainharukon (Complete Record 6-7) Attack:50/Shots:8
Hyperion: (Complete Record 6-13) Attack:60/Shots:8

BTW how do you get the extra missions? At Moscow and have completed Free Hunting for all but haven't opened any extra missions...
EDIT: And you say the extras are canon? Then those Apostles you fight all survive the battles?

It's up in the air now. People are waiting for a perfect guide. Story wise, it's unknown. But don't forget the entire story revolves around cloning and copies of people. aside from the final EX mission for each apostle, they're most likely just in between segments.
After that the Nana EX mission pop up. There's 3 and a short episode.
-Nana's test
-Nana gets high in the woods
-Nana's looking for something
-Nana short episode
After that there's a scene with WRS and all the apostles in her....room thing. It's that picture I took and posted with all of them together, and green and purple feeling each other up.
After that each apostle will get 1 Ex mission, and the following ones will unlock once you clear the previous one for that apostle. Each has 4. 3 missions, and the final is a rematch.
After that the final mission, The Last Game will unlock. You have to fight all 6 apostles in a boss rush, and then Lv.55 Sing Love.

Ah I see thanks...
But if those you killed are clones....it would seem strange that the other Apostles seem to acknowledge their comrades' deaths...Most clearly in Mii and Llwo's case....unless they themselves don't even know if they are clones or not but that would be plain confusing..

14 Old-School TV Shows That Need a Comeback Season
We're self-diagnosed TV addicts, and we're totally okay with it. After our dreams were somewhat shattered when we heard that the Friends reunion rumor that had been swirling was untrue, we asked the OKMagazine.com editors and readers; what other TV shows would you like to see have a comeback season and/or a cast reunion?
Photos: TV Couples Who Are Dating in Real Life
Here's what we're thinking; Amanda Bynes needs to get back on our TV screens (uh, "The Girls Room" in 2013, come on…amazing!), Mila and Ashton can take their off-screen romance back on-screen and forming bands on TV never really went out of style. Reminisce along with our pics below in our full gallery!

"Our offensive guys are very unselfish and have worked very well together in our first four scrimmages, Grubb said. "We graduated four of our top defensemen last year so it will be a rebuilding year for us on the other end of the field. We are trying to put the right people in the right positions and hope to bring our defense up to par by our first game."

Outlook: The 2011 1A/2A state finalists return an experienced team that made it deep into playoffs last year, but have some key holes to fill, left open by graduation. The schedule is highlighted by tough Chesapeake Division competition and out of conference games vs Winters Mill (at Johns Hopkins) and Lake Forest (Illinois).

"Action is the foundational key to all success" – Pablo Picasso
Accomplished people tend to take certain steps during the first minutes of arriving at the office. Incorporating these tricks into your own routine will not only energise the start of your working day but serve as a springboard for achieving your goals.
Engender a positive atmosphere in the office as soon as you arrive by taking the time to greet your coworkers. If you're in a managerial role, touching base with your staff allows you to stay up-to-date and resolve any potential problems before they arise.
2. Organise your time
Creating a daily plan means taking stock of your progress on certain projects and what tasks need to be completed. It's vital to be realistic in your approach however. Anticipate distractions, allow a sufficient amount of time for each duty, and factor in coffee and rest breaks. Even the most carefully composed plans can go awry, so prepare to be flexible in case an unexpected problem comes up. Your daily plan should be a guide rather than a rigid schedule.
3. Prioritise tasks
As diversions can still materialise, the key is to focus on one assignment at a time and ensure the list you need to complete isn't overwhelmingly long. Rather than yielding to the temptation to multitask and risk not allotting enough time to finish each job, channel your energy into accomplishing one task at a time. Move on only when it has been completed to the standard required.
4. Focus on success
Visualising your goals will help you to achieve them, and it pays to reflect for a moment on how you define success at work and where you ultimately aim to end up. Avoid negative thoughts and refuse to allow yourself to dwell on any doubts and insecurities you may have. Focus instead on prosperity and success, and concentrate on your commitment to achieving these.
5. Smile!
Starting the day in a positive frame of mind improves productivity, so take a moment to read a joke, watch a humorous video or reflect on a memory that will encourage you to smile. Not only will this put you in a better mindset at the start of the working day, it will make you a pleasant colleague to be around!
