On June 25 2009, the world was rocked by the tragic, shocking news that Michael Jackson - the biggest and most influential music icon since Elvis Presley - was pronounced dead on arrival at a Los Angeles hospital. He was 50 years old. As the news reverberated around the world, it was accompanied by even more shocking and controversial information - some a sickening revelation to Jackson's millions of fans: that Jackson had died in the care of his personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray - a whole 83 Minutes before Murray put a 911 call in to emergency services. In this, a comprehensive and truly horrifying account of those crucial minutes - Murray's frantic attempts to cover his tracks and revive his client before the truth could be revealed - are laid bare. This is a compelling, multi-perspective tracking of all who were involved at the scene, and their part to play in the events surrounding Jackson's tragic passing. The shocking cocktail of drugs employed to keep Jackson alive, administered by Murray himself; the harrowing and squalid conditions in which this troubled musical genius ended his life, all is 100% accurately described from official court transcripts and documentation. A powerful and compelling account of the brutal truth behind the rumours.Author Matt Richards has substantial, award winning platform as a documentary maker.

In food-speak, a "fool" is a quick English dessert of cooked berries layered with whipped cream. Traditionalists make it with gooseberries, but strawberries and raspberries work fine. It's rich and lovely, and you don't need a lot to finish a meal with finesse. Serve it in a cocktail glass for the best effect.
1 cup strawberries
¼ cup granulated sugar substitute
2 tsp. fresh lemon juice
3/4 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
1 cup heavy cream, whipped
Whole berries for garnish
Put strawberries in a small saucepan. Add 1-1/2 tablespoons of granulated sugar substitute and 1½ teaspoons of lemon juice. Cook on high just until the mixture starts to boil. Turn heat to medium and stir frequently, mashing berries with a spatula, to keep from burning or sticking to the bottom of the pan. After about 15 minutes, most of the liquid should be cooked off. When you reach your desired consistency, let it cool and pour into a container to refrigerate.
To make raspberry sauce, combine raspberries, 1-1/2 tablespoons of sugar substitute and ½ teaspoon of lemon juice to a boil. Let thicken and cool slightly. Press mixture through a fine strainer. This will take patience and about 20 minutes of mashing, but you will be rewarded with a rich, seedless sauce. Discard seeds.
For each fool: Put 2 tablespoons of cooked strawberries at the bottom of a cocktail glass. Whip the cream with the remaining sweetener. Put 2 tablespoons of whipped cream in each glass. Add 1 tablespoon of the seedless raspberry sauce. Top with more whipped cream. Garnish with whole berries.

Atlantic Coast PipelineMonday, August 7, 2017
The proposed Atlantic Coast Pipeline (ACP) is a 600-mile underground interstate natural gas transmission pipeline. Like the Dakota Access Pipeline, the ACP has come under fire from environmental groups, like the Southern Environmental Law Center, concerned about the pipeline's impacts on Virginia's natural resources. Those who support the pipeline, including Governor Terry McAuliffe and Lt. Gov. Ralph Northam, say that its construction will bring more than 8,000 jobs to the Commonwealth. Do you support the construction of the Atlantic Coast Pipeline? Call us at 440-2665 or 1-800-940-2240 and share your comments.

The senior government bureaucrat who replaced Glenn Archer at the Department of Finance but eschewed his Government CIO mantle has followed her predecessor out the door after just six months in the role.
As first assistant secretary heading Finance's efficiency, assurance and digital government branch, Rosemary Deininger took over the function formerly known as AGIMO in May following the sudden departure of ex-Australian Government CIO Glenn Archer.
Her appointment coincided with a Finance restructure that saw non-tech functions moved into the Australian Government Information Management Office (AGIMO) division, and the AGIMO title retired.
Deininger will work her last day at the Department of Finance on Friday 31 October, before moving on to a new role at the Department of Human Services.
"Ms Deininger will be taking up a senior position at the Department of Human Services which will draw on and expand her public sector policy experience," a Finance spokesperson said.
The department has denied that a period of upheaval between Archer's departure, the dissolution of AGIMO and now Deininger's resignation has impacted on the Government's IT agenda.
One of Deininger's key deputies, Marc Vickers, is also currently working outside of the Finance office, on secondment to the Department of Premier and Cabinet.
Finance has started its hunt for a replacement to Deininger's position, and is offering between $201,063 and $236,385 per annum for suitably qualified candidates.
Applications are open until 12 November, but under the current public service hiring freeze, only existing Commonwealth employees are eligible.
The whole-of-government tech strategy team is facing a busy year's end, with the clock now ticking to get a fresh Coalition-authored IT strategy out before the end of the year, in addition to completing a whole-of-government audit of IT spending.
The first assistant secretary role will be filled in the interim by Simone Pensko while Finance looks for a permanent replacement.

Q&A is now closed thanks! High demand again.
Bought all three books. I know this is addressed in efficiency, but is there any downside to setting up and anonymous LLC in New Mexico to avoid the Finra outside business rule? I'd rather have everything in my name then go through a friend/family member.
I'm currently 23 and an inside sales rep in healthcare selling telehealth. Should I focus all of my time on becoming an AE before worrying about a side business or start one now?

Can you guys share how you deal with actually securing your crypto?
Specifically when it comes to recovery seeds for hardware wallets.
Been reading about ways to store these, but it seems like there's substantial risk no matter where you store them. Safety deposit box (government/legal risk), lawyer (third party risk), safe in house (theft risk), etc. I know you mentioned something similar about having to figure out a way to store physical gold. Do you just accept that there will always be some risk of losing your coins?
Also, your 4800 tweet helped my already high ROI on buying all 3 books skyrocket! Insane value you guys bring.
2 years out of college, $3B local bank in Dallas.
Company is offering to pay for an MBA. Would still be working full time.
Good use of time? Or better spent building side income. Already own home/have built cash reserves.
dallas SMU?
I have friend doing it. Huge time suck, really don't think it will equate to much for him.
He works 40 hr weeks. mon-tues-thurs he does 6-9:30 class.
He's misreable
I have $105,000 invested into crypto. Based on your estimates, what do you think is future value in 5 years? Enough to sit pretty or should I add more.
Assuming I should add more. My crypto portfolio is heavily invested in the assets you suggested in Triangle Investing. Most held in BTC and ETH. If I were to add another $50,000 to $100,00 to my crypto portfolio, what is your suggested allocation to your top suggested currencies (percentage wise?)
A property in prime location is coming up for sale in the area in which I live (DFW Texas). Due to Coronavirus, funds held in Roth accounts are not subject to 10% for early withdrawal until the end of 2020 (only capital gains). I have a stock that has significant returns held in both a taxable and Roth account. Given the circumstances, is taking profit out of the Roth without penalty the way to go here? Or better from the taxable account? My gut says this is a unique opportunity to take some chips off the table from assets previously illiquid and convert to equity in a property.
Yep, 3 books, but this is the 4th of 6 transaction ID's. Bought some copies for friends and a random commenter on this blog.
Is this the recession you've all be talking about would come or is there more in store in 2021?
When working a career *in finance* there are extremely strict rules on OBI's and selling away.
Most bulge brackets will never even consider accepting an OBI unless you have clout or it was pre-existing to hire.
(Can't even have an outside brokerage account)
When building a side business the only logical option is not reporting and going internet and anonymity route. Am I correct?.. Or am I missing something.
Would love if you could elaborate. Thanks in advance.
You see a trend that lots of people with Aspergers make it to the top?
This is sort of a fun question. I'll ask more serious questions later. Can you tell us more about things you are buying during the downturn? Not only assets but lifestyle and leisure items. Maybe alternative assets (wine was mentioned). You spoke about luggage and suits. Could you be more specific with brands and stores? How about things like watches, shoes, home furnishings, flex items for now or later?
What is your view on the Bitcoin Stock-to-Flow model?
Hello WSPS, been a great last month, you've been killing it out here.
Question: Where do you see SP500 and crypto going in the next few months? I know you posted about where to put your money, but do you see another significant downturn, or do you think (at least for crypto), that the bottom is in?
Hope you are doing well during these times, and thanks for all the content you put out on the website.
Unfortunately I only came across your website a few months ago and did not end up in one of your 3 recommended career paths out of college mentioned in Efficiency – currently 24 working at an mid-sized asset management firm.
Total all-in comp is around 100k (~70/30 split), with decent hours (45-50) and pretty good political standing within the firm. Will also be taking the CFA level 3 exam in December as well.
Given that the first income stream from my career is tracking materially below the recommended tech/IB/enterprise sales career paths, I was wondering whether it is more worth it in terms of ROI to prioritize a job move/lateral in the short-run over building a second income for the additional 25-30% pay bump? Or is it simply more optimal to just preserve that goodwill/hours despite the lower income and put all my efforts into creating a second income stream?
1. Have you noticed any trends in home life or parenting that results in the children becoming successful?
2. Any tips or product recommendations for whitening teeth? I have tried a few products without much success
3. What are your top things to consider when choosing a health insurance plan from your employer?
In Spending you mention learning complex topics to become a quasi expert in the field and the tangential benefit in lie detection. What are a few topics that you would recommend as especially high value and interesting?
Thank you for your continued contributions! Always enlightening and entertaining.
Assuming a SaaS app is equally marketable for both B2C and B2B purposes, which side would be best to focus on out the gate?
With current levels of ad/consumer spend likely to remain low for the next year or so, do you think any of the FAANG companies are likely to experience a significant correction?
Currently working as an FO quant at a BB. Is it worth staying into 2021 to see how the job market evolves? Or would it make more sense to leave the industry ASAP (for the right bump in pay of course) given secular decline in banking?
If you're really an quant, banking doesn't matter, you should be in high demand by prop trading and hedge funds where the real money is at. If you're a good programmer, go for quant dev at these firms but if you're good at statistics go for the pure quant role. Quant Dev is easier to get but quant has much better progression. Hopefully you're an exception but for 90% of quants/programmers in banking they make 2x their comp jumping to buyside and 3-5x a few years in.
Junior CS major @ Big 10 school.I found many students in the major have little to no social skills. If I have a mixture of both social skills and CS skills would it be advisable to go into SaaS sales out of school (or sales engineering role) Or just focus on getting CS degree and pivot to a product management role in big tech?
Hahaha (see my separate comment since I am probably qualified for this).
If you have good social skills focus 100% on engineering manager, I assume you would have gone business degree if you wanted to all in on pure sales. Product manager is more social than engineer but your performance is not really tied to your social skills slash leadership, it's much more tied to understanding of markets, trends – kind of like an Equity Research analyst.
Have 2 retirement plan I participate in and will for another 3 years. One is a plan the employer pays into and is typical "managed" plan. I have no control of the money in or how it's invested.
The other is a 401k where I have $500k. Options are typical j Hancock plan funds: 500 index, pimco bond, small cap, tech, gold fund, health fund, energy, money mkt etc.
What do you suggest for the 401k where I have some control of dollars invested? 1. Where would you invest current dollars ($500k). 2. Would you add any additional dollars?
Can't "leave" for 3 more years as part of contract when biz was sold. Don't go into office etc. Have other income streams.
Given Corona, how do you see the next 1,2,3 years for NYC? I live in Manhattan.
25 with total net worth of $10K after student debt. Running an ecomm biz that I've grown to around $5k/month profit (before corp tax). Expect to grow it to around $10k/mo profit by Dec 2020.
It is capital intensive and I've been fueling it by working a relaxed part-time consulting gig at a university where I get paid $2.2K per month after tax, I get to work on my own business most of the time at this job and it is super chill and the nature of the work actually somewhat overlaps with ecomm – somewhat enjoyable at most times. I effectively work at most 10 hours per week although my official hours I'm paid for are more. I like that I can dedicate my remaining time at work to the business.
My (relatively supportive) boss has been trying to get this position turned into a full-time role – and I expect that I'd be effectively working about 25 hours per week for an after-tax pay of $4.1K/mo. I'm wondering if I should keep this steady salaried gig while I grow my ecom biz because it provides cashflow to take risks and peace of mind (since I'm not depending on biz for living costs). My concern is that the full time role will take more time away from growing the biz and slowdown the rate of growth. Less important factor, being 25 I hate the lifestyle where I live (cold winters, horrible dating scene) and wanted to go location independent once financially feasible – and spend winter months in a tropical country I've lived in and enjoyed before – taking this FT role will make that impossible although I can suck it up for a year or two to grow the biz if needed while maybe taking short holidays.
Would appreciate your thoughts on what would you do in this situation, and at what point should I leave this salaried role to pursue my location-independent dreams (goal is to be location independent for least for a few years, learn 1-2 languages, sow the oats etc etc and then finally settle down in one place and start executing more ambitious business ideas around 30).
I have a mobile app that generates a few hundred dollars a month and for the first time decided to run ads to drive traffic. I spent $2,500 this month on Facebook ads and it looks like sales are $2,500 after the additional traffic. All in all, break-even profit after running the ads.
Do you recommend increasing the ad spend (up to 5k) or reducing it?
1. You've reccomended the min. bankroll to sell own products and advertise=50k.
How much to sell high-ticket affiliate products?
2. What simple questions should I ask businesses to scan for red flags and tell if they may go belly-up within 1 year before I partner with them?
Would you guys ever be interested in investing in or purchase a profitable small bootstrapped Saas from one of your readers?
Happy to take a look, add me up Skype: adeoluwa.adejumo
1. My networth is currently 20% ETF, 20% inventory and 60% cash.
For the cash portion, I plan on putting 40% back in inventory. What allocation of other investments do you suggest for the remaining 60% (stocks, crypto, REITs etc) and should I DCA into them over something like 4 months or stretch it longer? 1 yr etc
2. Original plan was to quit the day job this year. Easy but annoying and time consuming job with middle class pay. My side biz is making 4x the day job now, the platform is on Amazon so there is chance they can 100% shut me down. Not sure what will happen afterwards, due to the uncertainty do you think I should keep my plan to quit this year or stay at the day job a bit longer?
Thanks for all your great articles. I'm amazed at how the side hustle has grown, it's a much better path than the corp ladder for the 5-20% corporate raise /yr.
Currently in sales. Have an information product directed at sales people. In order to scale, I'd have to get exposure on LinkedIn. But that would shine on me in current company and no idea how they'd respond.
Product would help other reps sell more and could be seen as a threat to own selling motion as few people are doing it and I'm leveraging a lot of learnings I've made while at current company (although only to do with specific way of selling). Don't want to lower my internal standing.
Would you
a) Go through with it and take the risk
b) Put in time for 1to1 pitching and try to sell
c) Go entirely new route and find different product
– hows the journal looking these days?
– are you guys still planning on doing something with mental health (mentioned in spending)
37 year old male, $40K saved, bachelors degree in CS, brief experience as real estate agent while attending college, was a professional actor for a while.
1.) I'm not a great programmer plus my skills have atrophied from being out of school for 10 years.
I like dealing with people more than code.
1.) Should I move to NYC or the Bay area sometime this year and try to get an Enterprise Sales role OR wait till the second wave of coronavirus ends in Feb. 2021 according to your earlier predictions?
2.) Should I stay in South Jersey, near Philadelphia and try to find a local sales job to build experience? (Currently saving money by living at home right now so I wouldn't have to pay for housing as I would if I relocated.) There seems to be limited SaaS sales companies local, except for maybe a startup, reseller, or SAP.
3.) Big name brand company or startup for an Enterprise Sales role? I'm leaning big for brand name recognition and possibly a better sales training program.
Thanks! Been following you guys for many years; time for me to start taking action and making some better decision.
Hey boys…whats your current hair regimen now that you boys are in your early 40s? thank you
Self-isolating has been great for my finances as I've been able to cut spending down to next to nothing. I could completely get out of debt right now but it would cut my emergency cash runway in half (from 6 months to 3 months). Does it make sense to do this now or wait until things are more stable?
$150K as a software engineer but the company is luxury fashion and getting hit hard (not sure it will survive this). Still confident I could get another job if necessary. Started an online business (porn site) in the past couple months that is starting to ramp up (over $1K/month in profit)
In this market, you could probably hit 250-300k by jumping ship while working a similar number of hours as you are now. It doesn't sound like much but consider that it might increase the amount of day job cash you invest by 2-4x.
1.Any concerns of water shortages in the next few months?
2.Currently building out a professional education/development site for college students, wondering how much it makes sense to build for an increasingly mobile first world (e.g. 50/50 split investment into website vs. mobile application development) given my audience?
3.What fear/insecurity would you target for college students (type A high performers).
What do you think about joining a website brokerage business franchise as a way to get into the online web/business game to learn like this one below?
Aside from Efficiency, what are the best legit resources to get into white hat affiliate marketing? Would like to try selling established products before launching own.
Is an S corp worth it in NYC if you're clearing $80-120K net? You can save on the 15.3% SE tax on a portion.. but theres corp taxes of about 8.85% I believe. Saves less than $3K if it's $40K shareholder salary.. but I imagine accounting fees / complexity will add up.
How likely do you guys think S&P500 will go back to 2200 or lower sometime this year? Seems like we haven't had a full bear market cycle yet.
Assuming that you've heard of hbr's guide to buying a small business, what's your view on focusing on ib first say first 5 years of your career and then go out to become an 'entrepreneur through acquisition'?
– How do you build performance benchmark for skills which usually don't have numerical KPI (ex: design, art, sport, etc…
– How do you keep yourself honest when evaluate yourself to said performance benchmark and figure out when to quit
I've been stalled out in a formerly great oilfield sales career for a few years now after sacrificing a lot through my 20s. I think this sector is done and we never make up the margins lost since 2014. Which big ticket industrial sales markets would be a good pivot and have strong growth coming?
Thank you for sharing valuable information. I'm 22 and started reading the blog at 19. I am in high earning corporate job and own a digital consulting company. Needless to say consulting sucks and margins suck as mentioned in Efficiency. I found myself in a situation where I have $10,000 to invest.
I am looking to break into E-Commerce but lack knowledge on what will sell well online and how to (reading copywriting books right now). I work in tech and I am debating whether to pursue creating software to license (better margins), try my hand at drop shipping or private labeling, or start teaching tech online. How would you advise?
Ever sued anyone? I have my old employer on wrongful dismissal and defamation but (while I could afford it) I'd much prefer to get them to make me a settlement offer.
How long should I keep looking for a job in VC / Tech before starting fresh in an SDR Role? I have a decent resume despite only working at tiny IB and PE shops. Just thought I would have found something after a month of applying. (been working on side income also but nothing live yet)
Freshman CS student at college. Following the college plan and am on track to finish this year with a 4.0 GPA. Taking summer classes so I can graduate a year early (4 years instead of 5 – I'm at a co-op school).
1. You previously recommended accounting as one of the few useful college classes. Are there any others you recommend? Statistics? More math? Intro finance?
2. Are minors or accelerated CS master's degrees worth pursuing? This means taking the full 5 years at school instead of graduating a year early.
3. Any updates for the college game plan other than 3.7+ GPA and internships?
I work in the industry. If you're interested in FANG, the only classes you should care about are data structures, algo, and competitive programming.
They'll land you your job. Then you learn on the job
There are four ways to make money in tech as an employee: product manager, people manager, math/ML/quant, systems engineer.
Only care about your classes if you are going to the last two options because they will save you lots of time and let you get that type of work/scale early on, making you earn way more money way faster.
GPA does not matter at all for tech recruiting as long as you are above 3 in my experience. Saw many people clear 300-400k offers with 50-150k signing with either 3.0 at top school or 3.3 at school just below.
Hello, I'm 25, have spent the last year in commercial banking. Throughout my time there, the bank has conducted two rounds of layoffs, and as a result my workload has increased 50% – I find myself working weekends and late into the nights. And, I don't like my coworkers… My salary is still $70k.
My family invests in real estate, and has a cash flow of $40k-$60k per month. They've told me that they want me to take over the portfolio someday and they have $1 MM for me to invest as they don't have the interest to invest anymore. Should I transition and just focus on real estate and forget banking and grad school?
new grad. quant finance or a gov software job where you do little work? worried because I don't think I have the creativity to start a business
Cutting people out of your life to grow is great advice to follow.
But how would you deal with a sibling who is narcissistic and jealous toward you? Want to have a relationship with my brother, but seems unlikely now due to his behavior. Being related by blood makes it a bit more difficult for me to navigate.
New crypto currency known as Block X launching in 1 week, that integrates with major credit card Visa. Interested in purchasing mining equipment to start mining. Cost of about 0.8 cents per coin as of today.
Is it smarter to stay invested in BTC and ETH or explore this new coin for long term wealth / HODL purposes?
As always, you guys are the older brother I never had. Thank you sincerely,
The social circle thing you're talking about should happen by default if you're trying to get somewhere. If you want IB and you're a freshman you find a new grad of 2nd year IB analyst and copy him.
By forcing yourself to be around these people and copying them, you end up meeting a lot more people like them and conversely not spending time around people who aren't in the mold, simply because your time is better spent on people who fit the mold.
1. Favorite online/in person source to buy physical gold?
2. Looking to spend more on a premium theme for health affiliate site, don't have resources or capabilities to program a custom one on my own like I've seen the top players do. Currently running a theme from StudioPress. Got any themes you guys can recommend?
3. Looking into generating more traffic organically during this down turn – any sources regarding SEO you guys recommend?
1.) What books / resources do you recommend for getting better at design, aesthetics, color matching, etc.?
2.) What are the highest leverage parts of an ecom flow/funnel to increase LTV (ad, presell page, offer page, backend, etc)
3.) What are some other "must read" books/resources for generally running a successful online biz (already read most of the ones in efficiency!)
Many thanks gents. Have a great weekend wherever you are!
I know you covered commercial real estate but I didn't see much on residential. Do you think there will be many REO (bank) owned residential properties due to default in the next 12-24 months?
Are you guys going to give up all your shit and praise God too
After 1.5 yrs at a Top 3 consulting firm in Western Europe (my background: mechanical engineering PhD, no, I am not a numerics fanatic), I am thinking of how to best move "from Year 1 to Year 2". Given my background as well the current circumstances, would you recommend any particular approach? Or simply screening the market for opportunities in big items sales ("Caterpillar", 6-digits category..)
Thank you!

1) Do I stick it out in hopes volume comes back or take loss and write off against severance pay? FYI – there are 5 employees I am continuing to pay for the time being.
2) Looking to start online biz in a growing market but do not have unique product. Would you suggest buying a proven product in bulk and reselling or go affiliate route?
I used to work in the restaurant business. It is taking the mohter of all beatings right now. Chalk it up as a loss.
I still talk to the people I worked with, there's talks about whether brick and mortar is still a viable option.
If I ever were to go that route I have certain things I would do as I have insider knowledge. Doesn't have to be B2C, can do B2B.
Thanks for all the great content, best time to be alive.
What's your thought process on deciding how much to lever up to expand real estate holdings within the next 24 months?
– 24, work in Fintech (non-technical)
-Have 275K equity in existing rental + ~50K cash earmarked for property purchases
-Have full access to complete trade stack (from structural to major trade tickets) therefore able to do >85% all rehab work via close contacts
Appreciate your thoughts.

Question: Keep current situation and get into RE?
Do you still recommend going into robotics, AI and deep learning? Personally I have been going into it, but a lot of people give up and leave for traditional software engineering because it is a lot harder to get an AI job and requires more credentials (Masters/PhD as opposed to just High school/Bachelors).
Also the field is currently dominated by PhDs and professors making startups. And there seems to be high interest and competition for the jobs.
Although I guess the alternative is to skip getting a job and straight away make a startup, but that is quite a financial drain. And it seems harder to compete for software engineering jobs as a backup plan against people who focus on traditional software engineering without the AI background.
Yes everyone wants to go into AI but it's a terrible idea because there are 15 year olds who make deep learning tutorials. You can see my other comment for my credentials, math/quant/AI jobs do not have even remotely the same interviews as software engineering jobs.
The shortcut is to do the ML interviews and see if they are easier for you than the software interviews. Your background can get you both jobs.
1. I'm a community college student transferring to a upper tier UC (not cal or ucla), top 35 ranked in a business hub. I'm majoring in political science (I know not the best major) and maybe will add on a business economics degree for a double major. My gpa is in the correct range for investment banking but I was wondering do you think it would be better to pursue tech sales or Investment banking coming from a non target in California?
2. I currently trade options and I have made a decent amount from trading but had some gains wiped out from pure greed. Do you think it is better to focus on building 2-3 online business at 20 years old or continuing trading?
3. What skills should a 20 year old learn to maximize wealth in the future?

CATHOLIC families have been forced to flee their homes in the dead of night and present themselves as homeless to the Housing Executive after being ordered out of their South Belfast 'shared' neighbourhood under sectarian threat.
Police visited the residents in Cantrell Close off the Ravenhill Road around midnight on Tuesday and informed them of the threat from the UVF. The PSNI told the residents that a warning had been issued to them stating they were not welcome in the area due to their religion and if they failed to leave they would be under threat of violence. Cantrell Close is a housing development which is part of the Together Building United Communities programme. In the summer there was controversy when loyalist flags were erected in the area.
A Housing Executive spokesperson said: "A number of families in the South Belfast area have presented to us as homeless today claiming sectarian intimidation."
The £13m Together Building United Communities programme aimed at unifying communities in mixed areas. The shared neighbourhood development was built by Radius Housing, and opened in 2015. Politicians have condemned the 'appalling' and 'disgraceful' threat to families in the area.
SDLP MLA Claire Hanna said she was 'appalled' adding that shared housing is "vital, possible and must be protected".
Alliance MLA Paula Bradshaw urged those responsible to remove their threat.
"I condemn, without hesitation or reservation, the intimidation of residents in Cantrell Close in South Belfast," she said. "These families moved into a mixed housing area with the expectation of a quiet and peaceful life.
"It is disgraceful that loyalist paramilitaries have threatened them with violence if they do not leave, and now more families in Belfast are homeless."
Sinn Féin MLA Máirtín Ó Muilleoir has called on authorities to stand up to sectarianism saying that this 'blatant sectarianism' has no place in our society.
"This is meant to be a shared neighbourhood and it is completely unacceptable that people are being intimidated by the UVF in this day and age," he slammed. "Some residents raised concerns with me earlier in the year when UVF and other flags went up around the development. They felt that this would heighten tensions in the area and Catholics in the area were fearful before the summer. People in the area are also very worried that the UVF were able to go about their activity in this manner.
"We need voices from within unionism to speak out and show leadership. We also need the authorities to take a stand against sectarianism in order to tackle this issue adequately.
"Just yesterday the PSNI announced a new taskforce to deal with paramilitary activity. We need to see action on this and a criminal investigation needs to be opened to bring these people to book."
South Belfast DUP MP Emma Little-Pengelly has faced heavy criticism after she very publicly dismissed concerns about UVF flags being erected in the area back in June. She said the majority of residents she had spoken to "didn't want a public fuss around this matter".
In light of the latest development the political representative said she is trying to ascertain "if or how credible" the threat is and who issued it
"All intimidation is wrong," she said. "Any threat should be withdrawn immediately. I am offering help and will be contacting the housing association and PSNI," she added.
Later in a joint statement with DUP MLA Christopher Stalford, they branded the intimidation 'disgraceful' and said those responsible "must be identified and face the courts".
The PSNI have also come in for criticism for not preventing flags being erected throughout South Belfast this summer and for their handling of the current situation where they can't protect families living in their own homes.
A spokeswoman for the PSNI said they do not discuss the security of individuals.
"However, if we receive information that a person's life may be at risk we will inform them accordingly," they added. "We never ignore anything which may put an individual at risk. No inference should be drawn from this."

About Us
Our mission
Juno EMR is a division of Cloud Practice Inc, we make EMR easier. Juno EMR exists to provide healthcare providers in Canada with access to a stable version of an open-source EMR that can help reduce the barriers to EMR adoption and increase the utility of EMR through code changes, amazing support and integration with external services through API.
We aim to provide as close to a software-as-a-service experience as possible in the Canadian medical record industry. We accomplish this through cloud-hosting, automated deployment, disaster recovery through 100% redundancy, remote training and support. By deploying our service in this fashion our goal is to offer no set-up fees, allow clients to get started faster than ever before, and lower the overall total cost of ownership for a medical clinic.
At Juno EMR Services we build, host and support an open-source electronic medical record (EMR) software. Juno EMR is modified branch of another open-source EMR commonly referred to as OSCAR McMaster. Our EMR offering provides our customers with a feature rich EMR, vetted by a large community, that can be customized for their needs without breaking the bank.
Our story
Cloud Practice Inc. was started in February 2012 by co-founders Jordan Visco, Conan Morris and Jordan Nicholas. Our first service offering to be deployed was Juno EMR (originally called OscarHost) a hosting and support provider for an open-source EMR system created at McMaster University. Before long we realized that one of the major features missing from the EMR was billing integrations in new provinces and in January 2013 we started ClinicAid, our medical billing software. In 2015 we launched our MyHealthAccess patient engagement portal to extend the usefulness of the software and streamline office/patient communications.
Today we support medical software programs for thousands of medical providers all across Canada from our office in downtown Victoria BC Canada.

"At first it had been Uncle Vernon's ambition, not Stella's. He thought he understood her; from the moment she could toddle he had watched her lurching towards the limelight. Stella herself had shown more caution. 'I'll not chase moonbeams,' she told him." Chapter 1, p. 5
"Debating anything with the girl was a lost cause. She constantly played to the gallery. No one was denying she could have had a better start in life, but then she wasn't unique in that respect and it was no excuse for wringing the last drop of drama out of the smallest incident." Chapter 1, p. 11

Ohinemuri Regional History Journal 46, September 2002
Contributed by Maureen McCollum
The death occurred recently, in Auckland, of former Hikutaia resident, Bob Morrison who farmed at Vedder's Road. He was aged 72 years.
Bob was born in Thames in 1930, and was the eldest son of the late Howard and Dulcie Morrison, who also farmed at the Ferry Road property. Schooling for the young Bob began at Hikutaia West Primary School, a one-room building, with a roll of thirteen pupils. On its closure in 1937, he journeyed with other pupils and their teacher, Mrs Thelma Morrison, to the Netherton Primary, crossing the Waihou River twice daily.
When the Ferry service was withdrawn, the Hikutaia Primary School Committee provided a bus service and Mr Morrison completed his primary education at Hikutaia. His secondary education took place at Nelson College, following in his father's footsteps. Bob would travel from Hikutaia to Frankton Junction, then onward to Wellington by train, then by the ship, Matangi or Arahura, crossing Cook Strait to Nelson, for a period of five years.
His working career began on his parent's farm and it was not long before he was taking an active role in the community. He was a member of the Hikutaia Tennis Club, the Table Tennis Club and the Hikutaia Young Farmer's debating team.
Outside of Hikutaia, Mr Morrison became prominent in the Paeroa Drama Society, writing and directing plays. He was also a correspondent for the Hauraki Plains Gazette.
Politics was perhaps his main interest. He was elected Chairman of the Junior National Party, climbing the ranks to become Publicity Agent for the late Hon. Arthur Kinsella, M.P.for the Hauraki Electorate whilst he was Minister of Education, during the late 1960s.
Bob's public service saw him appointed a Justice of the Peace, elected to the South Auckland Education Board during the early 1960s as member for the Thames Valley-Coromandel area, followed by his appointment to the Thames Hospital Board in 1971.
The Waihou Valley Scheme which took land for flood protection, saw his farm become an uneconomic unit during the 1972 era, and he and his wife, Mary moved from Hikutaia to Thames, where he began work with the Thames Valley Gazette and later, entered the travel industry. With a further shift to Auckland, Bob continued his career in travel, a position he enjoyed.
Mr Morrison's funeral service was held in the Anglican Church at Ponsonby. He is survived by his wife, Mary, his son, Jeffrey, two daughters, Jillian and Kerry, and six grandchildren.

The most sophisticated and serious response to Donald Trump's glee over the release of Barack Obama's long-form birth certificate came, oddly enough, from a stand-up comedian who works at the Onion. Baratunde Thurston's impassioned YouTube monologue touched a chord with viewers on Wednesday and quickly went viral. We talked with him about it.
Prolific tweeter Thurston is more than a stand-up. He's the Onion's Director of Digital, a Foursquare Mayor of the Year, and the host of the Science Channel's Pop Sci's Future Of. He could be the most articulate adversary Trump has yet faced on birtherism.
Here's our (edited) conversation by phone yesterday:
How quickly did you record this after you saw Trump's video?
Right after. I watched his video, which was a minute and a half long, and I then I started looking for a space to record.
Were you at work at the Onion?
Yes. But there was no editorial endorsement from the Onion for this video. That's just where I happened to be. So I sat down in a conference room and got it out of my system. Then it took a while to get it up on the internet. First, the upload failed, even on a good machine. Then I had to write up the post. It took about an hour of my time.
You spoke in the video with indignation about how Trump disrespected the accomplishments of so many who have come before us, of those who fought for civil rights so that Obama could be president. Were you thinking of any personal stories from your our family or ancestors?
Yes, I was thinking mostly about my mother. My mom passed away in 2005.
I'm sorry.
Thank you. She was born in D.C., where I grew up, and she was a freedom-fighting hero in my life, and well before me. She was active in the civil-rights movement, with the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, and with various black nationalist groups. She was part of rallies and taking over radio stations, and was really my gateway to a more complete understanding of American history.
Her mother was the first black employee at the Supreme Court, and my mother's grandfather — my great-grandfather — was a slave who taught himself to read. There is a direct connection to the weight of progress gained and paid for in the work of a lot of people who have come before me — including people I am directly related to.
What did you make of Trump assuming that a black reporter was an Obama supporter?
I didn't see it. I saw a headline, but I'm not trying to make a habit of following Trump because it's destructive to the psyche and to the national psyche.
What was most offensive to you about the way he handled this?
What's most offensive? The shorter answer would be: What's not offensive? In this case, it was the self-congratulatory tone and pride in himself. He managed to put himself at the center of all of this — not that you can do that alone. It takes cameras to put yourself in the center of the stage. He's just toying with the idea of the presidency, toying with a campaign, the same way he toys with his cologne and his poorly designed economic and real estate ventures.
And the president comes out and chastises the media again, and says let's put this to rest. Again. We've got serious problems and this is a distraction.
And Trump inserts himself and says he's proud of the role he played, and says, "We have to verify this birth certificate. I have to take a look at this." Historically, it's quite dastardly, but not uncommon. For most of our history, any white person could grab any black person off the street and demand they dance. Or produce documents. Or kill that person, who wasn't considered a person.
And Trump says he wants to just walk into the White House and touch this document? That he has the right to do so? You don't have the right to do shit! You don't have the right to roll up to the White House and say, "Show me your papers," like it's apartheid South Africa! In that, I could hear the voice of random white people in history, demanding money for my vote — wanting to know what's my business in this part of town.
In that hour it took you to upload the video, did you have any second thoughts about uploading something so personal and from the heart?
No. While I was watching the video, I was actually crying. My desk is in a pretty public area, and so I had to step aside and cry. But the Onion was forming its own editorial response to the day's events at the same time, and emails were flying around asking, "How we will approach this?" And then we put up "Trump Unable to Produce Certificate Proving He's Not A Festering Pile of Shit".
Were you part of that?
I had nothing to do with it, except my check is cut from same pile of money from the people who made that, which now has over 600,000 Facebook likes on one piece of content. One piece of content, rallying around insanity, saying this is insane. Normally, I would participate in the satirical round-robin, but I couldn't find any comedic angle. So I left that to the writers — it's their primary job anyway — and I said what I had to say.
What I said felt true to me. When you put the truth out — be it satire or a song or a painting — you're seeking a connection. Sometimes it comes through a laugh, sometimes through a tear. And this felt like such a violation, I imagined that there were other people who felt the same way. And, oh, there are.

Thermal requirements for silicone are growing, which is why Shin-Etsu Silicones of America has harnessed the capability of silicone TIM (Thermal Interface Materials) in its new SDP-5040-A/B gap filler.
Tramino Getty Images
Warsaw, Poland - July 11th, 2012: Look on the electric engine in a BYD e6 during the test drive. Established in 1995, BYD (Build Your Dreams) company specializes in IT, automobile and new energy. Chinese BYD is the one of the largest supplier of rechargeable batteries in the globe. On 2003 BYD purchased Xi'an Tsinchuan Auto Co., Ltd. (now BYD Auto Co., Ltd.) and officially entered the auto industry. The e6 model is a compact five-door hatchback electric car manufactured by BYD and introduced in China in 2010. The BYD has a range of 300 km and the battery and control module together weigh 800 kilograms (64 kWh battery pack).
The non-adhesive product is part of the high performing SDP Series, which are two part room-temperature cure silicone based thermal interface gap filling materials boasting a high thermal conductivity value of 5.1 W/m*K.
Shin-Etsu's SDP Series materials are ideal for cooling automotive electronics, power converters, LED lighting modules, communications modules and other electronics. Notable automotive market applications include; hybrids, ECUs (engine control units), battery packs, and sensors.
SDP Series profile: (SDP-1030-A/B, SDP-2060-A/B, SDP-3540-A/B, SDP-5040-A/B)
Each product comes as separate A and B components that must be mixed together in a 1:1 ratio to initiate the curing reaction. The thermal interface materials cure at room temperature when the two components are mixed. The cure time can be reduced with the addition of heat.
Before curing, the material has a grease-like consistency that easily fills voids between heat sources and heat sinks. By displacing the air from these nooks-and-crannies, a lower thermal resistance is achieved. Notably, the Gap Filler material can be applied only where you need it, thereby minimizing waste. The materials can also be reworked because they do not adhere to substrates. The low hardness of Shin-Etsu's Gap Filler products minimises stress on delicate electronic components. Additionally, the viscosity allows for ease of dispensing and reduced process times.
"As electronic devices shrink in size and expand in functionality, the requirements for thermal solutions are ever-increasing," explained Geoff Thyrum SESA's Thermal Interface Materials Business Development Manager. "The SDP Series' economical and performance advantages will allow us to optimise new and existing client applications in the growing RTV and TIM market segments."
Whereas the series' SDP-5040-A/B was premiered at this September's Electric & Hybrid Vehicle Technology Expo in Michigan, Thyrum indicated the complete line will be rolling out throughout 2017− including SDP-6560-A/B with a thermal conductivity of 6.5.
Ultimately, the SDP Series presents a great addition to SESA's broad silicone TIM product line, which includes products such as adhesives, soft pads and thermal greases.

MORE INFO About Intensive Driving Lessons in Glasgow
Intensive Driving Courses Glasgow
You might be wondering, "why book a driving course when it's possible to learn to drive by taking the traditional route of booking weekly driving lessons"? Well, if you book an All Pass Driving intensive driving course in Glasgow there's a really good chance that you might have a full driving licence within the next 1 to 4 weeks – Fact!
However, if you choose to go down the weekly driving lesson route you will eventually pass your driving test if you work hard and keep attending your lessons but it will probably take you 4 to 6 months if you take a 1 x 2-hour lesson each week and 8-12 months if you book a 1-hour lesson each week.
Why Should I Take an Intensive Driving Course in Glasgow?
Glasgow is a highly accessible city; it is also the economic capital of Scotland. Chances are, you will need to travel in or around Glasgow at some point, especially if you live around the area. What better way to get adapted to city driving than to take an intensive driving course in Glasgow?
Many struggle to drive in the city after receiving driving lessons elsewhere. Much of this has to do with lack of confidence and lack of experience. There are different things to take into consideration when driving in Glasgow compared to smaller towns and more rural areas. Taking intensive driving lessons in Glasgow challenges new drivers by giving them things such as; one way roads, bus lanes, tricky roundabouts and numerous traffic lights.
Learning to drive in Glasgow with a skilled and knowledgeable driving instructor is one of the best ways to tackle obstacles like these and helps drivers get well equipped for driving in cities once they pass their test.
Taking Your Test
Once your driving instructor thinks you are ready for your test you will have the choice of which centre you would like to take your test at. There are a number of DSA Approved driving test centres around Glasgow, these include centres in;

In Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack's op-ed this week in the Des Moines Register, he recognized that hunger could not be solved by raising production, because production is in fact at record highs. Grappling with how these increases in productivity have not led to increases in profit, he explained that even though we've lost a million farmers in the last 40 years, "income from farming operations declined as a percentage of total farm family income by half." He continued, "Today, only 11 percent of family farm income comes from farming, which may explain why fewer young people go into farming and why many families rely on off-farm income opportunities to keep their farms." Vilsack gets the situation right, but his remedy is wrong. Instead of encouraging diversity and altering the pattern of overproduction which pits large farm owners against small by shrinking margins, the Obama administration's way of dealing with the discrepancy in rural America is through increasing trade.
In his State of the Union address last Wednesday, President Obama covered a lot of ground. His primary goal was to focus on job creation, but he left out one important occupation–in a nation where the average farmer is 57 years old, we need farmers. He mentioned the obesity crisis, noting that the First Lady would be dedicating her efforts there, and then made this comment about doubling our trade in goods and commodity crops in the next five years:
To help meet this goal, we're launching a National Export Initiative that will help farmers and small businesses increase their exports, and reform export controls consistent with national security. We have to seek new markets aggressively, just as our competitors are. If America sits on the sidelines while other nations sign trade deals, we will lose the chance to create jobs on our shores. But realizing those benefits also means enforcing those agreements so our trading partners play by the rules. And that's why we'll continue to shape a Doha trade agreement that opens global markets, and why we will strengthen our trade relations in Asia and with key partners like South Korea and Panama and Colombia.
He has thus far stuck to his word. According to the USDA, $234.5 million is being given to 70 U.S. trade organizations to help promote American food and agricultural products abroad (you can see who this money is going to, from the Cotton Council International, which received a whopping $20 million, to trade reps for perishables like the California Prune Board, which received nearly $3 million). The Farm Bureau is thrilled that this administration is poised to aggressively pursue trade agreement negotiations with other countries as it clearly benefits big producers. So is Republican senator and erstwhile Bush Jr. Secretary of Agriculture nominee Mike Johanns from Nebraska, who had this to say:
With unemployment at 10 percent, we should be pursuing every possible avenue to promote good opportunities for job growth and business investment. Our businesses, farmers, and ranchers produce the highest quality products in the world and deserve an opportunity to compete on a level playing field.
The problem is that places like South Korea have expressed that they don't want our goods if they contain hormones, antibiotics or genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Worse, though, is that our products are not traded on a "level playing field," but instead are sold at an unfairly low prices in developing countries, made falsely cheap by our subsidy system. Developed world subsidies have been the prime barrier to negotiations at the Doha Development Round trade talks, which began in 2001 and continue to this day with no agreement–which many consider a victory for developing nations. And while Obama seeks to cut subsidies in his budget, it will be an uphill battle, especially without a stricter definition for who is a farmer.
Ben Lilliston, Communications Director for the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy had this to say about the administration's plan for increasing trade:
The goal of doubling commodity trade is not feasible or wise. This emphasis on export markets is odd given that it runs directly counter to a lot of the Administration's work to support local food systems. And expanding exports would definitely come at the expense of local food systems. The reality is that we've tried to expand agriculture exports for the last 50 years. That goal represents a lot of what is wrong in U.S. farm policy: a push to lower commodity prices–to make us more competitive internationally; an emphasis on just a few commodity crops; and support for large-scale operations over smaller, more diversified farms. An emphasis on exports has benefited multinational agribusiness firms, but not farmers either in the U.S., or in other countries. U.S. agribusiness companies have a several decade record of exporting commodity crops like corn, soybeans, rice and wheat at prices below the cost of production–a practice known as dumping. The result has been devastating to poor countries trying to develop their own food production. The loss of food production in many poor countries is a major contributor to growing hunger around the world. What makes the proposal so strange is that the Administration has to know this is not possible. Even agribusiness companies–who I'm sure love the proposal–know it's not possible to reach.
Here is what trade agreements looks like in action: as a result of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), U.S. corn sold cheaper than it could be produced, putting millions of Mexican farmers out of business–simultaneously quashing the diversity of the corn varieties and genetically contaminating locally grown corn with GMOs. As a result, these jobless farmers have made their way across the border to pick fruits and vegetables in America (often in slave-like conditions), or work mind-numbing jobs in slaughterhouses. But NAFTA's destructive legacy runs deeper still. Last October, Mexico was ordered to pay the corn-processing giant Cargill a $77 million dollar fine for imposing a tax on high fructose corn syrup in an attempt to protect their domestic sugar farmers.
Vilsack's op-ed focused on rebuilding rural America. However, when dollars leave the farm community headed to corporate multinationals for seed, chemicals and equipment, and the products produced on the farm are not food but commodities that then leave the community too, how can broadband and increased trade be anything more than band-aids for rural America? In the face of facts like climate change, to which agriculture contributes at least 30% of carbon emissions, decreased water availability and uncertain oil resources, trade veils the real problems facing the food system. What we need is balance: balanced opportunities in rural areas, a balanced ecosystem with diversified crops that feed local populations, and a balanced number of farmers to knit that community together. More farmers means more jobs, more stewardship of the land, and better quality food–and as a result, a thriving rural economy.
Up next, watch for the administration to start pressuring Senator Jim Bunning (R-KY) to release his hold on Islam Siddiqui, Obama's nominee for Chief Agricultural Negotiator, who's pesticide lobbying past is not behind the pause. Indeed, who else but a Big Ag lobbyist could they get to take on such a mission seemingly bound for disaster?

- Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010IMHO, that's an excellent message and I hope you did send it to President Obama by mail or took some other steps for it to reach audience outside of this blog? Because I doubt he reads Civil Eats.
I just found this site recently and I love it but once again I see a group of like-minded people here. It's great but how do we reach out to the majority of the population who doesn't get it yet? I mean if 80% of people stopped buying junk it would make Monsanto & Co history way faster than any government intervention or rules ...
- Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010While I agree with most of your article, I'd like to point out that the S. Korean protests were not over hormones, antibiotics, or GMOs.
The protests were mainly initiated by students over a largely imagined risk of mad cow disease (mostly stemming from a single erroneous front page news article), and the adults carried on with that theme while also covering discontent with a very unpopular ultraconservative president and a railway workers' complaint (it was never explained to me very well, but I have some propaganda given to me at a candlelight vigil). I was living in South Korea at the time, and I can assure you that the "crazy cow" protests never had anything to do with the facts on American beef.
- Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010Well, this fits with the convoluted way our political wonks do things. $230mm to TRADE ORGS!
This is money to be spent around the world, but not here in the good ol'USA. A majority of the money from the previous two Farm Bills has gone unfunded. I have paperwork requesting to partcipate in USDA programs that have languished for more than two years. These programs were for conservation, water resource mgmt, and wetland improvement...never funded. I can name you 20 or more farmers who are still waiting for funding for crop production and coop marketing programs.
I understand the importance of having export markets, but, these markets mean little to the small and mid-size agricultural operators. They need access to local and regional markets. A little of that $230MM, invested in local farms, would do more for our economy, and with a more lasting effect. It is a proven concept that a dollar spent locally can have an economic impact worth $15.00 or more by the time it "tumbles" through that community.
Besides, the majority of the export market is controlled by the industrial food giants, and lord knows, we need to help them out financially.
- Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010Great article. However, the problem with creating local food systems in rural areas is that there are no people left in those areas to feed. I agree that direct sales are the way to go, but first we have to get the rural/urban population in balance. As Wendell Berry says, we are faced with the very tricky problem developing supply and demand simultaneously.
- Thursday, February 4th, 2010Paula,
Again you hit the nail on the head. Thanks for the info... I'll save it as an excellent resource.
I second what Smokey wrote. Sometimes it is so frustrating to get info from the USDA about their programs only to find out that there are too many strings attached. So where the big industrial ag companies are subsidized heavily, I have never gotten any subsidies, grants, loans, etc. and that is why my organically grown garlic costs more.
Thanks. Now I'll step down from my soapbox.
- Saturday, February 6th, 2010great article. really. you hit the issues spot on.
- Monday, February 8th, 2010I agree with AprilMC. Rural areas are being depopulated as farm consolidation continues. Rural areas need local food sytems, yes, but they need local economies. Agribusiness has killed the family farm and Walmart has killed main street. Restore those, and people will return, and local food systems will follow.

Failing to plan is planning to fail
~ unknown
So after the eventful weekend and a Monday off, it was back to the grind; the chaos, the admin… you know how it goes.
I also received my study material from the University of South Africa (UNISA). I was so eager to go through everything that as soon as I got home and prepared supper, I dived right into it…
And then I got so overwhelmed sigh!
I had to remind self that we've been here before and others have too, and they've been ok, so we'll be ok. Self calmed down and then I decided to start working constructively.
One thing I've taken away from the corporate world that brilliantly applies to managing ones studying, is planning. I honestly am guilty of taking this for granted and not giving it the importance it deserves.
Once you learn to plan, you plan to succeed. You are aware of deadlines, you're more organized, you are able to manage your time to ensure that whatever needs to be done, gets done.
And so I decided to start with reading through my tutorial letters, marking the assignment pages for each module with little sticky notes and then plotted it on a year planner (UNISA sent me one, you can make one if you don't have an already printed one)
I colour coded mine to make it easier to identify what's due when at first glance and well to make it more colourful (: I then pinned it up on my wardrobe.
I have a key ( as you can see right on top) indicating which colour represents which module. All entries marked with "1" are placed on their respective due dates. These are one of two assignments for each module this semester. All entries marked with 2, are placed on their respective due dates and these are the second assignments due for each module in this semester.
Finally, all entries marked "exams" are placed on the days that I'm set to write and the times.
You can plot this on your phone if you're more tech savvy, jot it in your diary, schedule emails to yourself or set reminders if you will…. just plan (:
If you would like to adopt a similar method to mine, here's the things that you would need:
- Year planner
- Sticky notes ( various colours to colour code the various modules)
- Pair of scissors
- Sellotape
- Pen
- Your study material
You could even plot your assignments and exam dates by writing with different colour pens if you wish. It really is up to you.
Today's quote is therefore dedicated to the essentials and importance of planning. This may apply to any project, your job or simple goals or simple things that you'd like to do around the house. #justplan
