Erroneous statement about NOG 2qtr revenue
Oracle on fire 2 years ago • updated by SA Dave Schechter 2 years ago • 3
Your site posted that NOG missed on revenue for 2nd qtr, 2018. The AP just posted this. "The independent oil and gas company posted revenue of $66.8 million in the period. Its adjusted revenue was $96.8 million, which also topped Street forecasts. Five analysts surveyed by Zacks expected $95.2 million.". Please remove the erroneous statement from your headline.

Thanks for your note.
I've flagged this for our editorial team. Will update you when changes have been made.

My dear friend Erin and her husband Mark are the proud parents of a little baby girl, named Lily Erin. Erin and baby are both looking lovely and, from all reports, doing well. Congratulations!
I had a bit of a perturbing experience the other day. I was booking a hotel in Las Vegas for our trip in late May. Now, I've never really had a desire to visit Vegas. As a vacation spot, it just seems too flashy for me, and not all that relaxing. But we're going, and have decided to stay at the Rio. I call the reservation line to see what kind of rates we can get. The Rio is actually a Harrah's owned property and, luckily for us, Dean has a player's reward card from when he would play poker at Harrah's New Orleans, so we are eligible for special rates and promotions.
After some looking, the nice gal on the phone quotes me $937.00 for 11 nights. Not bad, but I want to confirm the dates with Dean first, so I tell her I'll call right back. I check the dates and call right back. Of course I get a different person, and my new quote is...$2400.00. What?? Not three minutes later, promotions have changed and ended, and this is the best new rate? I hang up, not booking at such a price, and call back again immediately. This time, I get it for a little under $1190, but for 10 nights, because the first night is no longer available. I book it, but they'll honor any new promotions and lower the price if I find a better one. Are you kidding me - 3 different prices in 10 minutes. I know promotions change, but give me a break here.
Anyhow, the reason that we're heading to Vegas to begin with is that our dear friend Matt is getting married there. His wedding is at the Rio and his plans are for an elegant, formal affair. My vision of a Vegas wedding equaled Elvis at a drive-thru chapel, but this sounds like it will be more traditional. Dean is his best man.
We met Matt when we first moved to New Orleans back in 2001. Dean and I were 25 year-old newlyweds and the vast majority of his new co-workers were single guys, some on the dating scene and a few with steady girlfriends, but all out to have fun. We got a little apartment at a gorgeous building in the warehouse district, walking distance to downtown, with a great pool area. Dean and I made fast friends with some of the work guys , namely Matt, Rich, Batzer and Joey. Some combination of us, along with Joey's girlfriend Bonnie, were always out together, at live shows at Tipitina's or the Maple Leaf, down in the Quarter, out to restaurants. It was a great, carefree time for us, still young enough that thoughts of mortgages and babies were far enough in the future to not be of immediate concern, just enjoying one another, our friends and the city.
Of course, we got older. Batzer was transferred to Brazil, Rich to Malaysia, we bought a house in the suburbs and eventually transferred to Newfoundland, Matt bought a house and was eventually transferred to Alaska, Joey and Bonnie got married and now have two darling children. Our entire time in New Orleans overflows with great times and memories. But memories of this particular time, the stage before our turn into the official "adult world" with all it's corresponding responsibilities, are fond ones for me.
When Dean and I bought a house in the suburbs in New Orleans, Matt did too, three doors down from us. I loved having such a good friend so close to us. When Dean was offshore, Matt was great company for me,
and I spent many evenings watching tv at his house in my pj's, just not wanting to hang out by myself at home. Matthew is from Michigan, so we were all far from home, no family nearby. He is a few years younger than Dean, who thinks of Matt almost as a younger brother. I was so sad when he was transferred to Alaska. Here's us from a few years ago:
Matt is marrying a someone he met when he, Dean and a few other guys went to Vegas last year for Batzer's bachelor party. She was a stripper who he began dating that very weekend, and they've been together ever since. I've never met her. In fact, I have a hard time remembering her name, but I must learn it asap, as I can't be calling her "the stripper" on her wedding day. Though I'm feeling a little scandalized about the whole thing, I do hope that she becomes a wonderful wife to Matthew, because he most certainly deserves it.
Still, I must confess, I have unusual visuals in my mind of what this wedding will look like. Even as an elegant affair, I'm picturing all the guests attending in skimpy, glittery formal dresses with plenty of cleavage and three inch spike heels. It's hard enough for my 5'1", could stand to lose about 50lb frame to find flattering formal wear, and now this? Oh, dear.

Earlier today I made a down-and-dirty hand plane till. Yesterday I hung the Stanley No. 5 and 6 on individual racks—lift up and pull out. Now it looks like I didn't have many. I guess not, but they sure took up a lot of bench top space before. Do I buy more planes and added on for them, or do I use the free space on the left for something else? Nah. You can never have too many hand planes. :)

Higley High student Brooke Lindsey receives perfect score on ACT
Higley High School senior Brooke Lindsey earned a perfect composite score of the 36 on the ACT college admissions exam she took last year.
During Lindsey's high school career, she has been actively involved in the Academic Decathlon and has enrolled in several advanced courses.
AP English Literature teacher Yvonne Warner said students in Lindsey's class always want to work with her because of her excellent insight when it comes to literature.
"Brooke is a stellar student whose work ethic is phenomenal," Warner said. "She is focused, driven, and can see the end goal way before it presents itself."
Higley High's Academic Decathlon team has made it to state finals every year that she has participated.
"The idea of being able to combine many topics is very interesting to me," Lindsey said. "The Academic Decathlon has definitely been my 'thing' in high school."
Lindsey is applying to several colleges this fall and plans to study biology as an undergraduate and eventually attend law school so she can focus her career in bioethics.
"The ethics of what we can do and how far we can go is very exciting," Lindsey said.
Academic Decathlon and AP Human Geography teacher Kerri Mathew has been Lindsey's teacher for all four years of her high school career. Lindsey started her relationship with Matthew during her freshman year in Honors English class.
"Brooke's future is exciting because of the way she thinks about how different disciplines interact," Mathew said. "Brooke never 'phones' it in. She always seeks to learn something new or make a new connection."
According to ACT, Inc., the average ACT composite score is 20.8 out of 36 and only one-tenth of 1 percent of students who take the assessment receive a perfect score.

Now that cucumbers are coming along, it's time for my favorite summer salad/snack. We keep a bowl of these in the refrigerator as long as I have cucumbers--and sometimes even with store-bought.
I take some thin-sliced onions and cucumbers and put them in a bowl. Mix 1/4 sugar, 2 cups cider vinegar, 2 cups water, 1 T salt, 1t pepper, and 1 t celery seeds. Pour over the cucumbers and onions. Let sit for a while. Eat.
The brine can be re-used a couple of times before it loses its "oomph." Then pour it next to the azaleas or blueberries and start over.
If you want to get fancy, you can add carrots, celery, tomatoes, or whatever. It all tastes good.
My daughter tells me that a cereal bowlful has about 40 calories. The same amount of coleslaw has 400.

Spanish daily Mundo Deportivo are reporting that Real Sociedad's discussions with Mikel Merino have gone well.
The 21-year-old is said to be pleased with the initial deal that Sociedad have made to him.
They are offering him a four to six-year contract, but they want Merino to first decide he wants to join them before they start official negotiations with Newcastle about a possible transfer this summer.
They believe that it would be a waste of time negotiating with Newcastle if the player is not keen to join them.
Mikel Merino – has a good future at Newcastle
Two other Spanish clubs, Athletic Bilbao and Real Betis, are also interested in signing Merino.
Real Sociedad are not too keen the potential transfer could turn into an auction between the three Spanish clubs for Merino, which favors Newcastle.
Even if Merino says he wants to join Real Sociedad, the Spanish club are likely to get significant pushback from Newcastle who don't want to sell the accomplished youngster.
He made an impressive start to his career at Newcastle last season since signing on from Borussia Dortmund for about £7M, and he played 25 times last season.
But he was injured in October and lost his place this year because of the excellent form of both Jonjo Shelvey and Mo Diame.
But the Spanish U21 International is still very young and has far too much potential for the Magpies to allow him to leave.
Mikel has played 12 times for the Spanish U21 team with three goals and is highly thought of in his home country.
We would be very surprised if this Spanish report is fully accurate and we certainly don't expect Merino to leave Newcastle this summer.
Comments welcome.

Leicester City have offered €13 million for Stefano Sturaro while Juventus value the midfielder at €20 million. There could be developments as negotiations progress
Another one linked to us but not someone I'm upset about. Don't rate him. Two comments related to this however show two different perspectives. One says he's underrated, the other says to sell him for 5, he's no good.
I posted earlier that NUFC have finished the season at home in recent seasons – usually dramatically!
2015 – Relegation narrowly avoided. Jonas goal!
2016 – Spurs thumped but NUFC relegated
2017 – Championship winner in dying minutes of the match
2018 – Chelsea thumped. Finished 10th, despite everything.
This season away to Fulham. I wonder what dramas lie in store.
Don't know about you guys but if I was confident we could replace merino I would be open to selling him. I read somewhere he had a back problem and jiggly injuries at Dortmund but mostly, this talk of leaving only really came about when he couldn't get in the team. If he doesn't want to fight then get rid, plus the report mentioned how he wants a release clause so he can get a bigger move from the next club after us doesn't really show any loyalty. Not the type of attitude I want here, very sissoko-esque. Saying that, he's talented, has potential and is the type of players we need to be going for. Young, talented, not getting much game time etc.
Merino could have a bright future, having Mbemba move on and Merino would tell me that we're not looking at the long-game anymore…which is not what I'd expect from what people claim about Rafa being a meticulous long-term planner.
I expect Merino to stay to keep our depth in CM unless there's a massive offer for him.
You cited Crystal Palace as a club that recovered from having no points after eight games and that's fine. But, what you don't say is that they recruited Roy Hodgson to try to rescue their season and as we know, he did.
So, what's that got to do with Newcastle United?
We've got an owner who's clearly not sharing Rafa's aims for the club.
To date albeit reportedly, we've not made an offer for any of Rafa's targets and pre-season opens up in just over three weeks.
Rafa's contract's not been renewed and as suggested yesterday, Ashley may not feel inclined to back him with sensible money as Rafa may not be around next season. The same argument could be made for the winter window.
Assuming we don't sign Kenedy who knows the players and Rafa's ways, the players still at the club when the season kicks off see that the squad's weaker than it was in May and any new recruits have to be bedded in. Given our first eight games, we could well be struggling – as we did last year.
So assuming we are really struggling for points after say 10 games, where does Ashley go from there? Does he stick with Rafa and suddenly find enough for substantial backing to recruit in January when Rafa's not likely to be around? Or, does he sack Rafa before the winter window and recruit and back a replacement hoping that we're not relegated for the third time?
Ashley's really chancing his arm this time and I'm sure we all hope that he sees sense and signs Rafa up, before any serious damage's done.
Last summer you were on here telling people to calm down about transfers, as was I, we didn't get many and none to really shout about. I'd leave the preaching over transfers a miss for now and leave it to regime apologists Jib/jane/jeff as repeat of many transfer previous windows is starting to likely.

Dominating. Ricky Romero was simply dominating against the Pale Hose tonight. After the kick in the nuts that was attending the Home Opener, I'm glad I hauled myself down to the Dome to see RR Cool Jay throw eight innings of one hitter.
There's a lot to be said for screaming fastballs, hammer curves and wicked sliders, but my favourite kind of pitcher to watch is one who makes hitters look foolish with a beautiful changeup. That's why I love Shaun Marcum, and that's why I love Romero.
Nothing deep to add right now, just a few thoughts:
• Alex Rios. WTF. Are very loud boos all you need to produce like you're capable of doing?
• Vernon Wells: I know it's early, but my hope that you're really back grows almost daily. Keep it up, sir. It makes me happy that you're being cheered at the Dome now. I can't imagine how much better that feels for you than the treatment you received last year.
• You're growing on me, John Buck. I do not expect this to last, but I plan on enjoying it while I can.
• Watching A.J. Pierzynski, I found myself wishing Michael Barret was still a Blue Jay.

What is an incident — examples
Have you been involved in or witnessed some kind of irregular or unlawful situation or noticed a potential danger? The more we get to know, the more effectively we can act, and the better placed we will be to make Karolinska Institutet a safer, more secure and more sustainable workplace.
You can submit an anonymous report and describe incidents or near incidents, such as financial irregularities, bullying or harassment, research fraud or anything else that you want to give the university management knowledge of. Our development work requires that we get acquainted with such deviations, and we want to encourage you to note events that should not be reported.
In the first instance, with the name of the person behind the report, but if for any reason this is not possible then anonymously.
Work environment
Here you are to report all events affecting your physical and psychosocial work environment.
Near accident — have you been involved in or witnessed something at the university that could cause injury or sickness?
For example:
- Fume hoods with broken alarms have been used for a long time – this could have exposed people to harmful substances.
- Animal cages and sawdust containing harmful substances have not been labelled – this could pose a health threat to the people responsible for emptying/cleaning the cages.
- Emergency equipment (eye-wash fountains, fire extinguishers, etc.) has not been checked.
- Hazardous waste is wrongly labelled, packaged or stored.
- The illicit transport or unlabelled scientific samples on the shuttle bus.
- Colleagues/students failing to observe the proper handling/safety procedures.
- The lack of risk assessments for experiments.
- Colleagues/students failing to wear the required safety equipment.
- The dangerous or irresponsible use of instruments/tools.
Accident at or travelling to/from work — has anyone been injured at or on the way to/from the university?
For example:
- By slipping and breaking an arm.
- By coming into contact with a corrosive chemical.
- By cutting themselves with a knife.
Work-related illness — are you on sick leave, or are you receiving medical attention related to your work/studies?
For example:
- Allergic reaction to toxic substances at the workplace.
- Pain the neck/shoulders/back owing to monotonous or heavy work.
- Workload stress or discrimination/harassment.
Students should also contact the Student Health Service.
Incidents and accidents concerning fixtures etc. (e.g. ventilation, temperature controls or lighting) are to be reported direct to Akademiska Hus or similar leasing company.
Safety & Environment
Here you are to report all events that (might) affect the local environment.
Staff — for people employed at or affiliated with KI and who have a KI user name/password.
Student — for or students at KI who have a KI user name/password.
A report must be made of all types of incident at KI. The system has 12 different types of event to choose from in the online form.
- Fire and evacuation safety - e.g. during a fire drill it is discovered that an emergency exit was blocked or people stayed behind in the building.
- Information safety - e.g. I've lost a flash drive containing important and sensitive personal data that I need in my research.
- Personal safety - e.g. I've been threatened by a visitor to the campus.
- Activism - e.g. activists are blocking the entrance to a KI building or are standing outside aula medica handing out leaflets about a specific experiment.
- Organisation
- Break-in, attempted break-in
- Theft, attempted theft
- Stoppages
- Damage to premises - e.g. graffiti, vandalism
- False alarm
- Environmental damage or incident - e.g. spillage of hazardous chemicals, ignorance of KI's rules for handling waste has led to chemicals being poured down the drain or the leakage of chemicals/toxic substances into the environment.
- Miscellaneous - If the report concerns an incident that covers more than one category, use the most relevant one.
KI needs all such events and incidents reported so that we can fix what isn't working and create safer, more secure campus environments for all. We therefore offer an anonymous function for reporting suspected irregularities in order to protect the person filing the report from reprisals.
Clicking on the link will bring up a log-in window. If you enter your normal KI log-in, your basic details will be entered automatically into the form.
If you have problems with IT services, contact IT-support.
Examples of action taken
Incidents and events that have been reported have already helped improved the environment you work or study in.
Owing to the large number of reported cuts and wounds from sharp objects, KI has consulted with the Student Health Service and the Occupational Health Service to create a set of procedures to ensure that everyone receives the same care and treatment.
A practical session has also been introduced into the Basic Laboratory Safety course, which is compulsory for all doctoral students.

text: Emerging Tech Optical services highlight NFOEC Jim Duffy @itworldca Published: August 9th, 2001At the National Fiber Optics Engineers Conference (NFOEC) in Baltimore last month, start-up Akara Corp. unveiled a switch designed to deliver managed wavelength services to enterprises.Akara was founded in March 2000 by former Cambrian executives and is funded by Battery Ventures and Greylock Partners. Nortel acquired Cambrian in 1998.Storage is the killer app for wavelengths to the enterprise, said Akara CEO Ed Ogonek. Fifty per cent of IT budgets are spent on storage, and 20 per cent of storage expenditures are spent on networking, he said. Also storage traffic, as well as LAN traffic, is doubling annually, Ogonek said.But even though US$30 billion was spent last year on optical connectivity, according to Ogonek, only five per cent to 10 per cent of enterprises are buying it. What gives?Enterprises need a tight complement between optical bandwidth and services. It's great to have a fat pipe but what about cost, performance, quality of service (QoS), security and manageability?Akara hopes to cover all those bases with the Optical Utility Service Platform (OUSP), an "intelligent services" multiplexer that delivers public network-based Fibre Channel, ESCON and gigabit Ethernet services to the enterprise. The OUSP is essentially a SONET mux with STS-1 granularity that muxes up to six services onto a lambda at 100Mbps to 1Gbps increments, Ogonek said.OUSP is designed to lower the cost of extending optics to the enterprise by 50 to 70 per cent over dark fibre and dense wave division multiplexing, Ogonek said. That, in addition to manageability issues and a dearth of compelling new services, is what's keeping fibre from the building, he said.Along with OUSP, Akara unveiled customers and partners for the platform at NFOEC. StorageNetworks Inc. is a customer, and Corning Inc. is a partner. Corning and Akara will demonstrate 1Gbps "full-rate" Fibre Channel services running over Corning's MetroCore fibre at up to 200km without regeneration.Akara is also working with Brocade Communications Systems Inc. to certify interoperability between OUSP and Brocade's SilkWorm Fibre Channel switches.Additionally, Akara discussed at NFOEC how OUSP can offer guaranteed service-level agreements, QoS and security to enterprise optical converts by measuring, policing and enforcing latency and throughput thresholds. The OUSP rollout will include a management application for this."Today's proposition is a transport wavelength, just bandwidth, to the enterprise," Ogonek said. "This is managed services."The software-programmable, three-rack-unit OUSP will include six service interfaces and two OC-48 trunk connections. It will compete with dense wave division multiplexing offerings from Cisco Systems Inc., Nortel Networks Corp. and ONI Systems Corp., IP storage devices, and multiservice platforms from Redback Networks Inc. and The Coriolis Group LLC, Ogonek said.Betas have been completed and the product shipped in July.

White Oak, Quercus alba
Beauty and Benefits of the White Oak Tree in Landscaping
The white oak tree is a majestic tree and can be an excellent addition to a landscape. These trees are native to North America, reaching as far north as southern regions of Canada, as far south as Florida, and as far west as Texas. They are resilient trees characterized by light gray bark and named for the white undersides of their leaves.
These trees prefer moist soil that is slightly acidic and drains well, as they have deep roots. Their acorns germinate in fall, and as the weather gets warm in the spring, the saplings will proliferate. They grow at a rate of about one to two feet per year and can reach up to 100 feet tall.
White oak trees prefer direct sunlight and like to spend a few hours at a minimum in the sun each day. They are resistant to drought and ice breakage and are resilient when it comes to tree diseases and insects as compared to other species of oak trees. White oaks are forgiving when it comes to growing conditions.
In landscaping, it is essential that white oaks have plenty of growing room, as their branches grow outward, parallel to the ground. For this reason, they are excellent shade trees after they are established. Besides, white oak trees present with colorful foliage in the autumn months and are sure to brighten the landscape.
White oaks also serve as legacy trees.
Their average lifespan is about 300 years, but they have been known to live up 600 years under favorable conditions. The shade and splendor of these magnificent trees can be enjoyed for several generations by different families as time goes on.
This is a shade tree that reaches 50-80 feet at mature height. The White Oak is famous for it's long life and strong branches. Great for shade, and it's acorns are a great source of food for wildlife.

1.) Since I'm in cliché mode the last couple days, that was the tale of two halves (BOOOO). The Flying Dutchmen looked ready to blow Old Dominion out of the building in taking a 12-0 lead, but the Monarchs chipped away and ended the half on a 21-7 run to take a 29-27 lead. This is an ODU-friendly pace and the Monarchs have to be thrilled to be winning a game in which they committed nine turnovers.
2.) It's not a coincidence Old Dominion outscored the Dutchmen 12-2 once Greg Washington went to the bench with his third foul just after the under-four media timeout. Washington blocked ODU's first three shots, and while the Monarchs have their usual rebounding advantage (28-13), the aggressiveness of Washington, David Imes and Stephen Nwaukoni on defense has at least handcuffed ODU a bit. The Dutchmen don't have the bodies to survive attrition via foul trouble, so Washington is going to have to play carefully in the second half.
3.) And while the Dutchmen have been aggressive, Old Dominion is still getting way too many second chances—11 offensive rebounds against just nine defensive boards for the Dutchmen. The Monarchs are tough to beat when they're taking advantage of those extra opportunities.
4.) Stay fundamentally sound: The Dutchmen need to continue forcing turnovers, to continue taking care of the ball when they're on offense (just two turnovers in the first half) and continue the fine ball distribution they displayed during the game-opening run.
5.) The Dutchmen went cold at the end of the first half. It seemed to be as much a matter of bad luck as tough defense by ODU. If the shots start falling, and Charles Jenkins (4-of-8 shooting, nine points) has his patented second half run, and Imes (0-for-5) or Brad Kelleher (0-for-2) finds their touch, my guess is the Dutchmen are pretty happy at 6 pm.

Crystal Lake, IL – Home repairs and maintenance experts, Innovative Home Concepts Inc. announce that they are now offering commercial roofing as part of their range of services. These roofing services include flat roof applications, roof coating, TPO roofing and EPDM roofing solutions. They have brought in a veteran of thirty-five years in this industry to head this arm of their firm.
"This firm is excited to announce this expansion, enhancement, and improvement of the commercial roofing division," Innovative Home Concepts Inc. spokesperson, Rhett Wilborn said. "Although this was never advertised, this firm has dabbled in commercial flat roof installations successfully despite this line remaining outside the core line of business. This situation, however, changes starting from 2017."
On offer by this firm, as far as the roofing arm features, are coating systems, modified bitumen, EPDM, and TPO. EPDM is a synthetic rubber roofing membrane that brings extreme durability and long life to a roofing system. It can be black or white, and the seams of this membrane get sealing made of specially formulated liquid or tape adhesive. Its installation involves either mechanical attachment, full adhering, or ballasting. It has been used for more than forty years now for low sloping commercial applications in roofing. Thermoplastic polyolefin, TPO, is a reflective singly ply reflective roofing membrane that consists of ethylene-propylene rubber and polypropylene. It is fully adhered or mechanically attached. It comes in various colors, including black, white, and light gray. It brings ultraviolet and heat resistance to a home, and is durable, economical, energy efficient and relatively easy to install. It comes in various thickness options and represents a great choice where residential or commercial low sloping feature.
It is obvious how critical the roof over a home is. This becomes more apparent during a leak. A leaking roof leads to mold growth and damages of various kinds. The bigger the leak is, the more the levels of damage that are bound to occur. A tight and waterproof roof is an important aspect of the exterior of any home. This represents a major reason why roof replacement, repairs, and maintenance projects remain popular motives behind property owners hiring roofing professionals, as shown on this site: http://www.innovativehomeconcepts.com/roofing-chicago/
There are numerous roofing options available for property owners. Asphalt shingles are very popular while standing seam metal and stone coated steel roofs are other choices property owners can pick.

The survival of Streptococcus suis on farm and veterinary equipment
Scott A. Dee, DVM, MS; and Michelle M. Corey
PDF version is available online.
The ability of Streptococcus suis to survive and be transmitted on farm and veterinary equipment when exposed to a wide range of climactic and environmental stress factors was assessed. Pure cultures of S. suis were placed on surfaces or materials commonly found on farms and/or in veterinary practices and cultured at predetermined time intervals. Overall, isolates lived longer on rubber and plastic surfaces, especially when protected by hog manure. Isolates were viable at up to 55 degrees C and could survive if kept frozen for up to 10 days. Repeated freezing and thawing was detrimental to the survival of the organism. Viable isolates were obtained for up to 4 days in aluminum hydroxide vaccines but for less than 24 hours in oil-based products. S. suis survived for 10 days at 4 degrees C when stored in porcine tissues or body fluids. No bacterial growth was detected in any disinfectant tested except 70% alcohol. The organism was shown to be able to be transmitted via fomites (such as manure-covered work boots veterinary vehicles and needles.

The Modular One was comparatively costly. It was somewhat exotic in that its modular design resulted in virtually each system delivered being somewhat completely different, which created a high upkeep burden. It by no means bought widely outside of the UK, and even within the UK it was surpassed in gross sales by DEC and Data Common before the end of the Seventies. 2 Over the mid '70s to mid '80s the programs had been value lowered with TTL bitslice know-how and 8-bit microprocessor communications controllers, retreating from the novel modular design, but it surely never gained a big market share.

I'm going to be really honest with you all for a moment: I never thought I'd be giving advice on how to be more productive. Historically, I have been known to be a professional procrastinator. I get distracted very easily and tend to avoid doing tasks that are less fun until I have absolutely no choice but to get them done.
While this might have worked for me a few years ago when I had few responsibilities, today my life is much different. My daily routine has become more demanding and my work and social calendars compete to take up every second of my life. Before you say it, I promise I'm not complaining one bit. You know me and I love to be constantly on the go! Well, I love it now because I can handle it better now than I ever could before.
I used to get overwhelmed extremely easily. If something popped up in my day that was out of the norm, it would throw my entire flow off and I'd be frazzled. Don't get me wrong, I still have my days where I just can't seem to get it together. However, I've learned to manage those days better and create habits that help me to start off right and carry that energy through the entire day.
Wake the hell up.
In the morning, I mean. Look, I know what you're thinking because I thought it too! It's so easy to just hit the snooze in the morning and get those eight extra minutes of sleep (side-note: why is it 8 minutes? Is there some sort of science behind that? I need answers.)
Here's how my mornings used to go. I set my alarm for 6:15 AM, but I never got out of bed at that time. I would hit the snooze once, twice, sometimes even three times before I would roll out of my comfy sheets and start putting myself together. If each snooze session is roughly 8 minutes long (for whatever reason) that's 21 minutes of extra sleep I'd get in the morning. It's also 21 minutes of my day that I wasted by not waking up when I should have!
I'm not saying you need to hop out of bed the second your alarm goes off and start saving the world. You need a few minutes to come out of dreamland and bounce back to reality. I get it. However, can you imagine the little things you could accomplish if you had an extra 20 minutes a day? Maybe you could actually make a healthy smoothie in the morning, instead of grabbing a Poptart on your way out of the house. Maybe you could do some light yoga to get your day started? Either way, getting out of bed the first time your alarm goes off can get your day started quicker and give you more time to get little tasks done.
Dress intentionally.
My typical work attire is whatever is clean, comfy, and readily available when I zombie walk over to my closet every morning. Most offices in today's society are much more casual than they were in the past. There was a time where a businessman wouldn't be caught dead in their office without a full suit and tie on. And businesswomen? Forget about it. Not only were we expected to wear business skirt sets and heels, a full face of makeup and hair precisely styled were practically mandatory.
Thankfully, those days are long gone. Today, a lot of people work from home and never have to see anyone, so those people can work naked for all anyone cares. Then there are folks like me, who still have to report to a building to work but aren't required to dress to the nines. Jeans and a t-shirt are about as formal as it gets in my office. But I've noticed that the days I dress up, even just a little bit, I feel better and am much more productive.
According to Forbes, there's definitely some truth to the theory that what you wear while working affects productivity. However, the type of clothing doesn't seem to have the same productive effect on everyone. For example, Mark Zuckerburg wears the same plain, casual clothes to work every single day. He says that dressing down helps him to focus on the important stuff, therefore being more productive. On the other hand, digital marketing entrepreneur Tim Kitchen insists on wearing professional clothing even when he works from home. He says that he feels more professional when wearing professional clothing, therefore more productive and able to focus on work easier.
That's why this tip is titled "dress intentionally" and not "dress professionally." For me, putting a little thought into my outfit or doing my hair or makeup before work makes me feel better and work better at work. This is a pattern I have noticed in myself, and have begun to take advantage of. However, this might not work for you! You might work best when you're comfortable in yoga pants and a huge t-shirt. You might work best wearing a suit and tie. The way you dress as it correlates to your work is entirely subjective. Figure out what to wear that will make you feel and work your best, and then go with that!
Take a damn break.
If you just gasped at this tip, you're exactly the type of person that needs to hear what I'm about to say. Take a break. As easy as it can be some days to just sit at your desk for 8 hours straight without getting up, you're doing much more harm than good. As humans, we need a little stimulation to keep our minds sharp.
I used to never take a lunch break. Don't get me wrong, I didn't sit at my desk for 8 hours straight every day. I would get up and talk to my coworkers and of course, take mini social media breaks as we all do (don't lie to yourself.) But for the most part, I was in my office staring at my computer from 8 AM until 5 PM. I started taking breaks that took me outside of the office. I would go home for lunch or go for a walk around the mall. I just needed a break from the routine, and guess what? It helps me so much.
I can notice a tangible difference in not only my productivity but my energy levels on the days I don't take a break versus the days I do. The days I don't take breaks, my brain feels like mush by quitting time. Sometimes that feeling lingers into the next day, which creates a chain of weird, unproductive days. No bueno.
If you don't have the privilege of leaving your office at some point during the day, take a moment and go outside. Get up from your desk, and enjoy a moment in the fresh air. I promise it will make a difference in your day.
Lists, lists, lists.
Okay, so I'm just going to go ahead and admit that I know I go overboard on the whole 'list' thing. I constantly write lists. I mean, constantly. I have four notebooks that stay on my desk all the time with lists, notes, and ideas. I keep another notebook in my car so I can take notes when listening to podcasts (which I realize is very unsafe, thank you.) My planner is actually two planners and two calendars, one at home and one at work. Oh, and if for whatever reason I'm away from all of those things, I have several lists in my notes on my phone.
Yeah, I know.
You don't have to take your list-making to this extreme. This is just how I work and how I make sure I don't miss a single thing. This process works for me, but it definitely won't work for everyone. But, not every list taking experience needs to go quite this far.
My list-making obsession started off as a way for me to compile my thoughts into one place. I get scatterbrained at times and would begin a project and then get sidetracked and start something else and end up not accomplishing anything. It's also helpful for keeping track of ideas. If I hear something on the radio that strikes me or I'm dealing with a situation at work and I have a great idea, I immediately write it down. I can't always address these ideas when they come to me, so writing them down gives me a chance to get it out of my brain and go back to it later.
Creating lists is my way of keeping myself accountable for the things I need to do. Plus, its extremely satisfying to cross tasks off a list. Try it yourself! Start keeping a small notebook with you, like these, and write down things throughout your day to help you stay on track.
Keep a schedule.
In addition to my endless lists, I have quite a few planners, schedules, and calendars that help me keep my life together. You probably already have some sort of calendar or planner situation. Most people do. Its how they utilize this resource that matters.
Most people use their calendars to keep track of holidays, birthdays, and important events. While my calendar is full of those things, it is also full of silly projects and tasks that I want to get done by certain dates. I create deadlines on myself for various tasks and goals I make.
I keep a schedule of when and what I post on my blog. Around the holiday season, I might share a post about how to make amazing gingerbread cookies or how to keep Christmas magical into adulthood. During the summer, I might post something about how to beat the heat without breaking the bank or some of the best summertime travel destinations. These posts are all scheduled according to when I want them to go live. I write them down in advance, and make sure that they're finished before my deadline.
I used to do this a lot when I was in college too. The first week of the semester I'd sit down with all of my syllabi and create a master personal schedule of all the assignments I needed to complete for the entire session. While this might have been a time consuming task, it made it so freaking easy to see what I needed to complete and when. I was even able to get ahead in a lot of my classes by completing multiple assignments in my schedule at a time.
Get the tough stuff out of the way first.
This is something I started doing when I began working full time in my family's business (more on that another day.) Every day I would come into work and get started on a routine I had fallen into. I would do all the things I had to get done for the day first, and then move on to menial tasks. While this might sound like the best way to do it, I found myself neglecting those little "speed bump" tasks that pop up unexpectedly. AKA, the stuff I really didn't want to do.
Remember when I said I was a professional procrastinator? This is what I was talking about! I would constantly put off calling a customer, checking up on something, or replying to an email because I just didn't want to be bothered. It wasn't something I wanted to do, therefore I waited until I had put it off for too long and was forced to confront the task.
This was getting me nowhere.
That's when I decided I needed to change my habits. I would start my day with the annoying stuff. Once I got those little tasks out of the way, I was free to work on the everyday tasks that I had down to a science. Not only did this make me more productive, it actually made my days better because I wasn't stressing about tasks I knew I had to do but didn't want to do.
Keep your space organized.
If any of my coworkers are reading this they are probably laughing their ass off right now. My desk is hardly ever a tidy space. I have papers, binders, highlighters, pens, and of course all my notebooks we talked about earlier, all over the place. Sometimes I take a step back and am like, "WOW. How does anything get done here?"
But seriously, don't you just feel better when your space is organized? Whether you work from home, have an office, or just a tiny desk among your coworkers. Your space should be tidy enough that you can work efficiently.
I recently brought a small file cabinet from home to my office. My desk doesn't have drawers and the bookshelf I have was slowly starting to overflow with random stuff. The file cabinet gives me a place to put all my papers, binders, and highlighters. My notebooks are still on my desk for easy access in case I get a brilliant idea. The file cabinet has totally transformed my workspace and made me feel like I have more desk space to work.
Anyways, those are my few tips on how to be more productive. Now, let me know what your tips are in the comments! Until next time, folks!

The Domaine Pascal Jolivet winery is just on the edge of the Sancerre village, at the bottom of the hill. He wines are full of character and quite full-bodied compared to many sancerres. They prove that sauvignon blanc can also make complex terroir wines. The secret, according to the winemaker Jean-Luc Soty, is to do very little débourbage (sedimentation of the must before fermentation). That gives the wine more power and complexity. He also thinks that it is important only to use the natural yeast (that is on the grapes).
The sancerres from Pascal Jolivet all have finesse and minerality, good concentration and acidity. Sancerre Les Cailottes Blanc has a lot of terroir character with an underlying elegant and aromatic layer from the sauvignon grape. The Grand Cuvée Pouilly Fumé has grown on soil that is very rich in limestone. It is aged on the lees for nine months and has a touch of mushroom on the nose, lower acidity, more depth and a wonderful, long and intense flavour.
They also make some of the best reds in the appellation.

How to Watch Gentleman Jack Stream Online
This series is so good that two streaming services had to have it. Both BBC iPlayer and HBO Go have broadcasting rights for Gentleman Jack, which is expected to air at an indefinite time in 2019. The best part is viewers from around the world can tune in using either a VPN or Smart DNS. We'll guide you through it.
How to Watch Gentleman Jack Online Using a VPN
The filming of Gentleman Jack, the new eight-episode drama series, is set to start, and we have all the ways you can watch it. The most secure way, of course, would be through using a VPN service provider. Due to copyright issues, HBO Go and BBC iPlayer are geo-blocked out of their respective countries the US and the UK. However, with a VPN, viewers living abroad can watch Gentleman Jack by bypassing the restrictions on the two services.
With a VPN, you get to connect to either a US or UK server, which will provide you with an American or British IP address. You then get connected to the internet using one of these IP addresses. A VPN hides your actual location so that you can bypass restrictions on websites, channels, and services of all kinds. Here's how you use a VPN to access HBO Go and BBC iPlayer to watch Gentleman Jack abroad:
- Sign up with a VPN provider (preferably ExpressVPN).
- Download and install the VPN app on the device you stream HBO Now's content on.
- Launch the application.
- Connect to a server where Gentleman Jack is available.
- Unlock HBO Go and BBC iPlayer and stream the series abroad.
ExpressVPN is a highly reliable, functioning, and secure VPN service provider. It has a wide array of features and is capable of bypassing geo-restrictions of all kinds. To learn about other service providers, make sure you check out the table below.Last Updated Yesterday
- 30-Day Money-back Guarantee
- Unlimited Bandwidth
- Apps For All Your Devices
- 24/7 Live Support
How to Watch Gentleman Jack Online Using a Smart DNS
A Smart DNS technology is one that masks your actual IP address while surfing the internet in order to grant you access to geo-restricted content. It was developed as a direct response to the geo-restricted material the likes of Netflix and others. This provider has a large number of server locations and offers services at reasonable prices. However, it is not the ideal solution when it comes to security. Unlike a VPN, the Smart DNS does not encrypt data. But, it's the best solution for those who are looking for a fast way to access geo-restricted content. Your IP address doesn't change either. Let's take a look at how a Smart DNS can help you watch Gentleman Jack anywhere in the world:
- Sign up with a Smart DNS proxy service that supports unblocking HBO Go and BBC iPlayer.
- Setup Unlocator's DNS server addresses on your streaming device. You can also configure Unlocator DNS on your router.
- Visit the streaming services' websites or standalone apps and sign in.
- Stream Gentleman Jack from anywhere around the world.

Along with the recent announcement that Batwoman had received a series order came the news that the CW had also given a series order to Nancy Drew, a teen mystery series based on the popular series of Nancy Drew books that have been published since the 1930s.
The series will star Kennedy McMann as the teen sleuth, while Freddie Prinze Jr. will star as Nancy's father. Pamela Sue Martin, who played Nancy Drew in the 1970s series The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries, will also star in the reboot as a psychic who offers her talents to Nancy to help solve a case. The early synopsis sets the scene for the series:
Set in the summer after her high school graduation, 18-year-old Nancy Drew(Kennedy McMann) thought she'd be leaving her hometown for college, but when a family tragedy holds her back another year, she finds herself embroiled in a ghostly murder investigation — and along the way, uncovers secrets that run deeper than she ever imagined.
It's not clear when Nancy Drew will debut, but a premiere date should be revealed when the CW reveals its fall schedule on May 16th.

Our IT team are looking to improve the efficiency of how data from Canvas is imported into our data warehouse. The problem table is, unsurprisingly, requests and it is likely that a number of fileds will have to be removed in order to facilitate smoother downloads of data
The question I have is this - as requests is a 'roll up' of the data warehouse activity is it possible to obtain that data from elsewhere in the data tables?

Was It Violence?
April 23, 2008
Jamyang Norbu
It was unfortunate that when the protests started in Lhasa last month
His Holiness made a statement threatening to resign because of "violence
committed by Tibetans in his homeland" (AP). I don't want to subject His
Holiness's use of the word "violence" to any kind of semantic scrutiny,
in the manner of William Safire in the New York Times Magazine, but in a
world raging with extreme political violence of the most appalling kind,
it might not be out of place to offer a respectful suggestion to His
Holiness and other Tibetan leaders that they should be careful (to a
necessary obsessive degree) that their statements do not provide any
kind of opportunity for Beijing (or its apologists in the West) to
misrepresent what really happened or cast doubts on the essential
righteousness of the Tibetan cause. His Holiness's threat to resign also
made it appear then that Tibetans in Lhasa had done something quite
We can create a perspective correction of the events if we re-evaluate
the meaning of "violence" in the context of real political conflicts
taking place around the world at the time of the Lhasa protests. That
same week in Iraq a female suicide bomber killed 40 and wounded 65 in
Karbala. A week earlier two bombs in Baghdad's Karrada district killed
62 and wounded 120. Two weeks earlier a suicide bomber killed 63
pilgrims and wounded scores in Iskandariya. A month earlier two female
suicide bombers killed 72 at a Baghdad market. In early March Hamas was
firing Qassam rockets into Israel and a week or two later Israel staged
a deadly ground military operation in northern Gaza Strip, leaving
around 130 Palestinians killed.
We know that in Lhasa some Chinese were beaten up in the first few days
of the protests. A few quite badly. Shops were torched. There was no
real looting, in the sense of stealing, for we have reports that the
protesters pulled out goods from the shops, piled them in the streets
and set them alight. It was a political statement. The worst thing that
happened was the death of four young women, three Chinese and a Tibetan
who were hiding inside a shop when it was torched. As terrible as this
was, I think we can be fairly certain that no one intended to kill these
young women. Official Chinese reports state that fourteen people were
killed and China's propagandists have used these deaths to whip up
anti-Tibetan feelings among Chinese worldwide.
There was more than justifiable provocation for the Tibetan outburst,
which occurred because monks, who a couple of days earlier had been
conducting a peaceful demonstration, were beaten, arrested, (and
according to some sources even killed) by Chinese security. When Mahatma
Gandhi launched his non-cooperation movement in February 1922, shooting
by police in Chauri Chaura in UP, resulted in satyagrahis attacking and
burning a police station causing the death of 23 policemen. Gandhi
called off the action and he blamed himself for not having prepared his
people better. No serious student of Indian history regards this as
Gandhi's personal failure or the collapse or betrayal of the non-violent
movement. When one is shaking the foundations of an empire, even in an
avowedly non-violent way, as Gandhi did eighty years ago and Tibetans
are doing right now, it would be unrealistic not to expect an untoward
incident or two.
Tibetan protesters in Tibet have not had any training or education in
non-violent activism as had Gandhi's followers or civil rights activists
in the American south in the sixties. Tibetan protesters had not even
received some minimal direction from a central leadership. It was all
individual initiative and courage. Considering this, the overall
resolution and restraint of the protesters is movingly impressive. Yet
it is important that Tibetans take a wider global and even historical
view of their struggle. A discussion is urgently needed on how much
Gandhi's example and teachings on non-violence have influenced the
Tibetan freedom movement. And if it hasn't done so, how we can bring
such a thing about. But I will save that discussion for a future blog.
Overall, the protests throughout Tibet have been as non-violent as one
can seriously expect. Chinese reprisals have been swift and brutal.
According to the TGIE over 150 Tibetans have been shot and many hundreds
even thousands arrested. People are now living in absolute terror of
Chinese Security raids and reprisals. So what does some incident of rock
throwing or a punch-up or two tell us? Just that Tibetans are a peaceful
people still, but that they are also human. That's all there is to it.
Report of "violent protests" in Tibet have provided an opening to
certain self-proclaimed "concerned but objective" types to segue their
views into the hot topic of "Tibet Protests and the Beijing Olympics"
and allowed them an opportunity to disparage the effort of Tibetan
protesters and supporters, and cast doubts on the issue of Tibetan
independence. My attention was drawn to this by a comment on my blog by
"Rich" who mentioned his "dealing with so many China scholars and
China-minded businessmen and politicians over the years, who even while
often claiming to have sympathy for Tibet continue to undermine and
oppose active struggle for Tibet's freedom." Another comment by
"Jessica" referred me to an article by "Andrew Fischer" in the Guardian,
which appears to have caused unnecessary misgivings and second-guessing
among Tibet supporters in Britain. In similar vein there is Patrick
French's recent op-ed in the New York Times.
I would like to discuss this unusual counteraction to the Tibet protests
in some depth, in a follow-up blog. If readers feel there is anyone or
any particular article or op-ed that I should include in the coming
discussion, do post a comment. Thanks.

What makes these scruffy shoes worth Dh150,000?
Or Dh150,680, to be precise - the price paid for this pair at a recent auction. Here's why they're oh-so-cool
The shoes are the actual Light-Up 2015 Nike Mag pair worn by actor Michael J Fox's endearing character Marty McFly in the 1989 film Back to the Future II. McFly time-travels in these shoes to the year 2015, to prevent his future son from ending up in prison.
In a bid to replicate the shoes of the future, the scruffy-looking pair features a textured blue-flecked foam sole that creeps up along the upper, LED lights behind the heel, and a glowing Nike logo on the ankle straps.
While the trainers famously self-laced in the film, these prop shoes, clarifies the auction description, are "a light-up, walk-around version" minus the "special-effects requirements for the self-lacing sci-fi shoes". Nike did, however, release a button-powered, self-lacing shoe last year called Marty McFly, sending a first pair to Fox for trial. The sale of that limited-edition collection of 89 pairs of shoes raised money for the Michael J Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research, with one buyer paying as much as $52,000 (Dh191,000).
This original pair, meanwhile, was estimated to sell for between £25,000 and £35,000 (up to Dh128,500), at Prop Store's Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction, which was held in London last month and showcased 600 original props, costumes and rare production materials.
Other lots at the movie memorabilia auction included: the wallet carried by Samuel Jackson's character in Pulp Fiction; a light-up miniature model of the Millennium Falcon building from Blade Runner; Jack Nicholson's jacket from The Shining and Joker costume from Batman; Arnold Schwarzenegger's Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines costume; and the hand-painted portrait of Tony Montana (Al Pacino) and Elvira Hancock (Michelle Pfeifer) from Scarface, complete with bullet holes.

- Unplug small appliances such as hair dryers, shavers, curling irons etc. when not in use.
- Move ash trays, smoking materials and other fire sources (heaters, hot plates, teapots, etc.) away from beds and bedding.
- Keep chimneys clear from accumulations of leaves, and other debris that can clog them.
- Smoke detectors should be properly located on each level of the home, including kitchen and sleeping areas.

Zero-waste design, upcycled materials and low-impact living are not only current trends, they're reality. Consumers want it, manufacturers aim to deliver it and architecture and design professionals automatically expect to create it.
Alongside manufacturers, architecture and design professionals lead the path in creating more nature-based, eco-friendly products and buildings. They focus their time and energy on researching new opportunities for materials. At nearly every trade fair, such as NeoCon in Chicago last June and Maison&Objet in Paris this month, we learn more about recycled and upcycled materials, low-impact living and zero-waste design.
Reviving Materials from a Sad Ending
Developing new technologies and material production processes puts designers ahead of the line in innovation when it protects the ecosystem. At the same time, we're turning back the clock to clean up the mess we've accumulated, so the generations to come will not have to do the same.
BentuDesign, an outstanding concrete furniture brand from China, earned the highest distinction in the Red Dot Award for the best of the best in product design for its concrete wall decoration tiles. Its Shadow tiles are made of recycled concrete that consists of 50% disused ceramic.
European wallcoverings company Omexco released its Rainbows collection made from bakbak (an innovative product of banana fiber), recycled sari silk and crushed paper. Squares of crushed paper, printed in faded shades and glued on a non-woven backing, are in perfect harmony with the bakbak and the natural silk. The non-woven wallcoverings are ecological, are FSC® certified (license code C001706) and are printed using solar energy.


text: The Sports Force worked with Brock High School to complete the design and construction of a new, state-of-the-art, athletic complex. Improvements included new state-of-the-art, synthetic turf playing fields for football, baseball and softball. New lighting, scoreboards, bleachers and press boxes were also installed at each venue. Phase 2 enhancements to the sports complex include a new athletic field house, concession building and restroom facility.

"Those of us on the outer fringes of the city will do just fine, thank you. We have all the services we need right here, and we can drive to use them."
Many times I have been asked over the past few years, "Bird! Why are you so hard on the fair City of Minneapolis? You have lived in, or close to it most all of you life, have you not?" Yes, yes I have. And that is exactly why I am so hard on this City of Lakes. When I was young, and living only feet from the Minneapolis city limits, this city had purpose. It was normal. It was a great place to live and or visit. And then somewhere, sometime, during the past 50 years or so, it fell off the turnip truck. Now it is truly, the land of the lost.
Great article in the "fish wrap" Sunday paper today. Now that Thrive 2040 has gone from a Met Council clandestine document, to an all out planning instrument for the Minneapolis City Council, for many it has become an OMG moment. The article in the paper discloses what many have suspected for some time now. Minneapolis wants to be a "car free" city. And for the folks who live there - plenty of options. You can walk, ride your bike, or take a choo-choo, or just go without. Good times, good times!
This is nothing but a "pie in the sky" vision. It is "la-la" land. It comes straight out of the of the "never going to happen" playbook. This is not the town that Dr. Marcus Welby practiced medicine in. Or the town Andy of Mayberry was the Police Chief in. No, this is a town which does NOT have affordable grocery shopping on every corner. Does NOT have a doctor or vet for the pooch on every corner. This is town situated on the 45th parallel with weather ranging from 100 degrees in the summer to 25 below in January. To say that no automobile transportation is needed anywhere in town is, well, just plain nutty.
And I can say it is nutty, because if you have ever seen the Minneapolis City Council in session, more than half of them act like they are off their rocker. Their nuttiness however, is only eclipsed by the unelected, unaccountable Metropolitan Council. Seriously - these two councils put together look and act like the starring cast from One Few Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
Another article in the paper which is related to this topic talked about the last of the open parking lots on Washington Avenue being torn up and replaced with some kind of buildings. This is the future. After a butt ugly commute into downtown Minneapolis, good luck finding a place to park. And if you do, it will be in an over crowded ramp, costing as much as $20 for the day. Minneapolis has become a destination which I HATE to go to. For any reason.
So, good luck city dwellers. As you get closer and closer to 2040, this is only going to get worse. The nut balls in charge will have you so tied up in knots, your city will be un-workable and un-livable. But don't worry about us. Those living in the outer fringes of the city will do just fine, thank you. We have all the services we need right here, and we can drive to get to them.
One final thing. We don't do "pie in the sky" out here. We are stepped in reality. Rather than living a "pie in the sky" dystopian lifestyle, we like our pie sitting on on our diner table. We like our pie for desert, following a meal consisting of tasty and affordable groceries bought in stores we drove to. That is the American dream we still recognize out here. And that dream is as American as apple pie.

I Ruined My Career For The Sake Of Love And Lost 10 Years Of My Life
About 9 years back, Yahoo messenger was the best way of keeping in touch. I was a fresh graduate of Delhi University. I had always wanted to become a news anchor. I was about to join a college to do a course in mass communication. Unfortunately, I couldn't attempt the entrance exam because I got chicken pox.
I had to drop a year. I decided to take up a job as a telecaller in a small company. I was 21 and like all youngsters, I was very excited about chatting with boys. So I logged onto Yahoo and met several guys.
One particular guy kept pinging me continuously. I closed the pop-up window several times but perhaps destiny had something else in store for me.Share this quote
We started chatting and like other youngsters exchanged our pics. He was a software engineer and was pursuing a part-time MBA course too. We exchanged our numbers and decided to meet.
In our very first meeting, he said that he could not marry me. He said he only wanted a sexual relationship with me. He also said that he had an ex-girlfriend who had married someone else but he still spoke to her over the phone.Share this quote
I was new to all this. But I was eager to forge a bond with him. I had brown skin and I was awestruck by his fair complexion and grey eyes. I was impressed by his post as a software engineer. I was not even aware of the magnitude of the loss that I would have to face throughout my life. The damage is irreparable.
We started slowly. Nothing happened for a year. But after a year, we became intimate. It was an 'on and off' relationship.Share this quote
Time passed. I was now all set to do my post graduation in mass communication. I could finally live my dream of becoming an anchor or a correspondent.
But because he was already there in my life, I started bunking classes with my friends and used to hang out with him.Share this quote
My father encouraged me to join a news channel as a trainee. I enjoyed my work but after some time, I started having arguments with my seniors. Everyone in our office had differences of opinions with their seniors. It was nothing new. I would tell him about each and everything that happened in my workplace.
He advised me to give up this line because there was no growth here. He said that if I wanted to grow, I would have to make compromises. I listened to his advice and resigned from my job without even informing my parents or discussing things with them.
I had scored 70% in my course, but I had not gained any knowledge because I had not paid any attention in the classes. I had been very casual about my course. All my attention was diverted to the love that I had for him. I wanted to marry him.Share this quote
After resigning from this job, I casually joined a pre-press publishing company as a trainee copy editor. It was a coincidence that it happened to be exactly opposite to the place where he worked.
We started meeting more often now. One day he said he wanted to discuss our relationship with his father. But somehow I ended up fighting with him so he changed his mind. Within two months of my joining this new firm, he got engaged to a girl that his family selected for him. He had also created his account in a couple of matrimonial sites.
I pleaded with him and literally begged him to change his decision. But he didn't listen to me. He finally got married. I was in love with him and had always wanted to marry him.Share this quote
He was older than me by 7 years. He was very mature and practical too. He moved ahead in his life. But I am stuck now with this copy editing job.
This was not the kind of work that I had dreamt about.Share this quote
We didn't speak for two years because he had changed his number. He thought that I might create some kind of drama in his life now. But his wife got to know about us. He told me about it. His wife too called me and asked me to move on.
I have moved on physically but not mentally and emotionally.Share this quote
We started talking over emails. It has been 7 years now. Whenever I ask him why he did not marry me, he says that it was because I belong to a different caste. I don't exactly know what his reason is. All I know is that he ruined my career. I am doing my best to find my way out of this copy editing job.
I am 31 now but I think I have not achieved anything in my life. All my peers are well settled. They are happily leading their professional and personal lives. He does care for me even today.
But no one can ever repair the physical and professional loss that I experience every day. Eventually, I lost all – myself and my career in order to get him.Share this quote
I did go out with other guys. But I was always subconsciously searching for his replacement. I have not found anyone like him so far. I still yearn for him but it is platonic.
Never belittle your career for the sake of love. He is settled today with a wife, a good job and a growing kid. Here I am - a 31-year-old unmarried woman struggling with my personal and professional life. Never let anyone influence you when you take the crucial decisions of your life. You will regret it forever.
Everything seems so absolutely right and perfect when we are in love. But love shows its myriad facets as we move on with our lives. Sometimes when we realize our folly it is already too late. But let's remember one thing – we have emerged stronger and richer after such experiences. Let's share this beautiful woman's story so that she realizes that all is not lost. We all have it within ourselves to make our lives count.

At City Square Dental, our Dental Hygiene team is here to exceed your expectations by providing our patients with a relaxing dental hygiene experience. Our Dental Hygienists also educate our patients on the importance of dental & oral health to learn how to maintain healthy teeth and gums between appointments.
Regular Oral Hygiene Appointments for Optimal Oral Health
Good teeth equal good health. If a person has dental carries, infection can extend throughout the oral cavity. Also known as tooth decay, dental carries can be compared to a rotten fruit, which if placed inside a basket full of healthy fruits, could ruin them all one by one. The usual culprits of rotten teeth are plaque and tartar. If your teeth are more susceptible to the accumulation of plaque and tartar, if you have crowded teeth, or if you have advanced gum disease, you may need to increase the frequency of your hygiene visits. Our team of dental hygienists will clean your teeth both above the gum line, which is known as scaling and below the gum-line, as well as complete several oral treatments to ensure the long-term health of your teeth. These treatments may include a comprehensive periodontal assessment, checking for gum recession, and the presence of gingivitis and possible gum disease.
Good Oral Hygiene Habits Between Appointments
Brushing with fluoride toothpaste is recommended at least twice a day to remove plaque and the remnants of food and drink from our teeth and gums. Flossing once a day is an essential practice to avoid gum disease and preventing tooth decay. An oral rinse also helps promote good oral hygiene as it will reduce oral discomfort, provide moisture to oral tissues and help with bad breath.
Practicing the above oral hygiene habits are great ways to maintain proper oral health. But good habits alone will not remove all the plaque that builds up over time. Therefore, it is necessary to see your dentist and dental hygienist regularly to remove the plaque in order to effectively lower your risk of toothaches, cavities, periodontal disease or even the loss of your teeth. By removing plaque, you reduce your chances of needing root canals, tooth extractions, dental bridges, crowns and more. Your City Square Dental team will ensure that you will receive the necessary treatment to maintain good oral health of your teeth, mouth and gums…and to keep you smiling!
