How to Write for Good Housekeeping
At more than 125 years old, Good Housekeeping is one of those titles people recognize just because, even if they've never read an issue. At the top of 2013, the mag underwent an extreme makeover, complete with an updated logo and content revamp.
"We did a lot of research, and we wanted to make sure we were keeping pace with our readers' lives. We wanted to give them more fun in the magazine," explained executive editor Janet Soroto. "People are so stressed out now that they don't want anyone telling them what they need to do."
To achieve that, editors create an intentional mix of recipes, health stories, first-person narratives, articles, beauty advice, and weight loss and nutrition tips, much of it ripe for freelance pitching. For writers' guidelines and editors' info, read How to Pitch: Good Housekeeping.

Q: Please introduce yourself. Name, Age, Location ..
Andy Zeiss, 32 year old, meat eating, alcohol drinking, ball headed, unshaved, tattooed but non-smoking dude from Cologne in Germany.
Q: What's your job ?
Basicly I´m self-employed and I run a small agency. My jobs are based mainly around the 20" bike. Why? cause thats what I do and I love it!I create events for several "clients" but these clients are actually more close relationships and friendships, I manage an int. bmx team, run int. bmx events, consult for major brands in bike related interests, etc.I also have been doing a lot of mtb stuff the last two years - that kind of came thru bmx I guess.I´m working with RedBull for ages. Back for the first COB I was still at this other agency and COB was my project. In 2004 I left that agency and started my own little thing. I´m involved in a lot of Red Bull projects and proud to do the upcoming third COB in Tokyo.
Q: People were wondering why top riders like Justin Miller or Matthias Dandois are not invited to the COB. How have the riders been choosen ? Why have you choosen exactly those 18 riders ?
Yeah I can imagine that people are discussing this issue quite hard - hahaha! There are tons of statements and pages on this case in the global flat forum. I dont know why people always discuss this in public back door - only one guy had the balls to send me an email so we emailed back and forth. (Thanks Glenn, I appreciate that.) The funny thing is all these people discussing this still dont seem to realize what the COB is all about.Back in 2001 when we had this idea for that kind of event, we wanted to create an event that was needed for the sport. Flatland always was held in a 2nd class area, 2nd class media, 2nd class attention - everything was just not the right way. So we wanted to change that and create a platform for the sport of flatland it really deserves. The riders, the sport and it lifestyle should be in the right spot and it should be promoted the right way so people can see what flatland is and how great it is.
One of the things was not only to run "another contest". We wanted to do have a BOOM event and with riders which represent the sport as it best with all different facings and views - sort of icons you know? Obviously you couldnt do it with an open riders field - especially not when we wanted to try something new. We didnt wanted to have regular format with normal 3 minute runs. We tried something new and came up with the battle fomat which is now pretty established I guess. This is one of the things the sport lives on - progression!
So also for 2007 in Tokyo we had to make that 18 people riders line up. In our eyes it should have been a mix on riders which reps the sport in different ways. Riding skills are important but not the main thing. It´s one thing being a contest mashine, "training" all day long with the only aim to win comps, but that´s not what flatland is all about. You have to feel it, live it, suck it up, etc. Then you feel the lifestyle - lets face it, flatland is about expression of character, state of mind, personalitiy, creativity, hart, soul, edgyness, dedication, uniqueness, freedom, freestyle, etc. right? Dont get my wrong - this is only my view and I know I´m not the only one seeing it like that. But I also know that freedom is also to see it from another angle.So if you look at all these facts you pretty much have all the main ingredients for the COB and I´m sorry so say that Justin didnt make that cut because there are 18 other riders in the world who fit in that criteria perfectly. No disrespect!I oppologised personally to him and explained. I highly respect him as a person and I respect his riding but there is something missing for riding at COB.With Matthias it´s something else. He def. has the right things to bring along to COB but I have to be fair too. Matthias had an awesome 2006 - I think he will be one of the best riders on this planet - he learned so fast (thanks to Alex, ahaha) and is able to be very consistant and make hard tricks look so easy. But in the end of the day he rides couple of years now but still need to learn much more on the lifestyle of flatland and needs to earn more credit. He was there to fast where is he is now.Those 18 riders we have selected earned that respect over decades and are still able to be top notch - this is why we credit them with COB. It´s for those riders and I´m am proud to have those riders at COB. My team did the right selection on riders.
Q: Who is going to win ?
Honestly? Flatland is going to win!!! It´s for the sport and to credit it!!! There´s not gonna be one winner (literally). But if I have to make a call - my money would be on Hiro!

From Church Fork Peak we followed the Millcreek ridge to where the Burch Hollow trail intersects it, and then followed that trail back down to the pipeline trail. We followed the pipeline trail back to the Church Fork trailhead making for a nice loop. We measured our success in the fact we kept the bushwhacking to a minimum.

This is a great hike for the beginning of the season. I really enjoyed the hike.
seanpeckham - Oct 5, 2011 5:29 pm Date Climbed: Oct 2, 2011from Church Fork via Grandeur
Ran from Church Fork to Elbow Fork by way of the ridge from Grandeur Peak to Mt Aire, ~11 miles. Used a bicycle shuttle. I've run the next two ridges to the north, and this one scratched up my legs the most; whoever wrote the bushwhacking is not so bad, was probably wearing long pants and boots, not swim trunks and Vibram Five Fingers. Between the bushwhacking delays and the fact that it was my first run in a couple months, I ran out of food, water, and stamina before reaching Mt Aire, but I forced myself up (had to walk) anyway, and it was a beautiful day of pink bigtooth maples and yellow box elders, with some aspens also starting to go off.

|Review: Averse Sefira - Battle's Clarion
|Battle's Clarion
Label: Lost Disciple Records
Year released: 2001
Duration: 34:59
Tracks: 9
Genre: Black Metal
Rating: 3.5/5
Review online: December 30, 2004
Reviewed by: Sargon the Terrible
for:Battle's Clarion
Rated 3.36/5 (67.2%) (25 Votes)
This is the second (and to date, most recent) full-length from US Black Metal band Averse Sefira. Desolate Gale, our resident US underground kiddie, sent me this for reasons explicable only to him, so I shall review it as follows. I was not familiar with this band before this CD, but I have to say they are pretty good.
If I had to describe this band in one word it would be: Enthroned. Sorry, but there it is – they sound a LOT like Enthroned. If I could add other words I would also say 'not as good as Enthroned'. I like this disc, but I have to take exception with the guitar tone, which is muted and smooth and generally just far to wussy for a BM band. That said, there are some cool melodies on this album, and the vocals are actually pretty good. Averse Sefira break up the blasting speed with some moodier interludes that give the album a little touch of originality, so that's good. "Condemned To Glory" is a good tune, and "Deathhymn" is the best song on here. A lot of this album tends to run together, and the second half is pretty faceless, but there is some fun to be had with it. Bottom line: Averse Sefira are doing nothing new, but they do what they do well enough. If you like Enthroned, then this will not be a wasted purchase. This album could use a much heavier guitar sound, but it's decent.

Last month I developed a very clever search tool for LinkedIn and this month I've developed another one. Last months tool was inspired by work from Irina Shamaeva and this months tool was inspired by the work of Steve Beckitt and his partner in SourceBreaker.com.
Steve has written a blog about how it works and it provided a very clever and accurate way to search LinkedIn.
Recently LinkedIn have been limiting the search ability of free account holders as a way to encourage them to spend some money with LinkedIn. This tool does not replace LinkedIns search but it does offer an alternative that will give good albeit different results. The tool uses Googles Index of LinkedIns public profiles and so can search all these profiles for free without it ordering the results based on your connections. Steve has provided a technique that makes this type of search very accurate and the tool that I have build around this technique makes using it very simple.
The Search tool is available here . Steve and I produced the following video to demonstrate how it works.

Chapter: 1/1
Pairing: Charlie/Colby, Alan, Don
Rating: FRT
Disclaimer: Belongs to other people, not me.
Warnings/Squicks: A little naughtiness in another room.
Summary: Don has to interrupt Charlie and Colby's day off.
Previous chapters: Part of the Vignettes 'verse after Domestic Bliss
Notes: Meant to be silly but a little angst crept in.
Beta(s): none
Where Angels Fear to Tread
Don pushed open the door and quickly wished he'd just walked away. He averted his eyes quickly to the ceiling.
"Oh crying out loud Chuck, at least put on some shorts."
While Colby had managed to get into shorts and a t-shirt Charlie was standing in the middle of the room, hands on his hips, naked as the day he was born, and the fact that he had been in the middle of something was still very obvious.
"My room." Charlie said. "My house in fact." Don took a deep breath and wished he hadn't. The air tasted of sex, and somewhat disturbingly, gun oil.
"We've got another Grid killing." Don said, eyes still planted firmly on the ceiling.
"No. No way." Charlie and Colby said.
"It's got to be a copycat." Colby pointed out.
"Of course it's a copycat, but we've got to get everyone down there to prove it's a copycat so we can bump it back to LAPD."
"It's our day off, Don." Colby wined.
Don risked lowering his eyes to look at Colby. "You, I still get to order out to the scene. Chuck here I've got to ask."
"Are there numbers painted on the wall at the scene?" Charlie asked.
"Yes, which is why I need you to come down and tell us it's got nothing to do with the real guy's code, then you can come home."
"That's still killing my plans for the weekend."
Don rolled his eyes. "Come down to the scene, do your thing, and you can take Granger home with you when you leave."
"Hey! Since when am I a bargaining chip?" Colby objected.
"You haven't wondered why you've been actually getting days off lately?" Colby shrunk down a bit and looked a little sheepish.
"Alright, give us five minutes." Charlie said.
"Take ten, take a shower, and open a window in here." Don said as a parting shot before making a quick retreat.
"So you have been where angels fear to tread?" Alan said.

BBC Richard Feynman Interview16 Nov
Although I disagree with Richard Feynman's conclusions on some of the more important questions we can ask, no one can deny he is an interesting and amazing person. I've read a few biographical books about him, and they were quite entertaining. Here is a video interview he did for the BBC in 1981.
Although I've read a fair amount about him, this was the first time I heard his voice. I noticed he sounds very much like Regis Philbin 🙂
Here are a few more BBC video links:
Gizmo Project13 Nov
I've been using Gizmo to make voice-over-ip calls for many months now, and I've been extremely pleased with it. They have clients for Linux, Mac & Windows, and the call quality has been outstanding when both ends have broadband.
I picked up an inexpensive Plantronics headset with attached microphone which makes extended conversations while working at a computer a joy. Gizmo call quality is to POTS call quality as stereo is to clock radio. I highly recommend checking it out.
del.icio.us Tag Bundling3 Nov
I've written about del.icio.us several times before (use the search box to find the articles). I've been using the service for quite a while and still consider it to be one of the most valuable web services I use.
I just discovered the tag bundling feature from this article and tried it out. Tag bundling, as you might expect, allows you to group your tags. For example, my first bundle was "people", so now I can see all my people tags in one group. I'll be adding more bundles soon.
If you're not using del.icio.us, you should really check it out. And if you, are and don't know about tag bundling, give it a shot.
del.icio.us makes it easy to share tags – for example, here's a link for my bookmarks on the Ruby programming language. I haven't discovered a similar way for sharing bundles, so if you know, please leave a comment.

History of Toon Santa
Toon Santa ™ is the lovable 3D Santa Claus created in love and respect for holiday traditions. If you grew up in the 70's in North America, you probably spent some quality hours in December watching the Rankin/Bass stop motion classics such as the Christmas Television Favorites Santa Claus is Coming to Town, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, and a Year without a Santa Claus (and a selection of more religious programming). Toon Santa was designed to capture the pure and simple joy of that early holiday programming. Toon Santa was originally designed in 2002.
Toon Santa plays a role in support of NORAD TRACKS SANTA, the NORAD website devoted to tracking Santa Claus, with Meshbox Design as corporate contributor to the multinational project located at http://www.noradsanta.org.

These are exciting times for the global real estate market. While cities like New York and London still dominate much of the landscape, new ones are coming under investors' radars due to factors such as increased transparency, booming economies, and a burgeoning global middle class.
The face of overseas real estate investors is also changing as Middle Eastern sovereign wealth funds (SWFs) and Chinese insurance companies overhaul their investment strategies to include more real estate assets.
All these present plenty of opportunities for investors to diversify their portfolio and invest in an asset class that is known for its relative stability and consistent returns. For those actively seeking those opportunities, here is a broad picture of the current global real estate market.
Real estate investments from the Middle East and China on the rise
As volatility in the equity markets remains, global investors are allocating more of their capital to real estate, including Sovereign Wealth Funds (SWFs) and global institutional investors such as pension funds and insurance funds.
Middle Eastern SWFs are leading the charge, changing their investment strategy accordingly. Fadi Moussalli, Head of JLL's International Capital Group in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), says the behaviour of a number of SWFs in the region has shifted from holding assets for the long term towards "value creation, followed by exits." He added that some of these SWFs, "no longer hesitate to monetise profits if return thresholds are achieved."
Middle Eastern SWFs are also enjoying gains from their investments during the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) as, unlike the majority of investor worldwide, they continued acquiring assets during this period.
While profits from oil production primarily fuel the investments of many Middle Eastern SWFs, this is forecast to change in the coming years. For example, the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA) now generates most of their income from their core holdings so that they no longer solely rely on capital injections from oil profits. Saudi Arabia is also making moves to invest in a wide range of assets that are not closely tied with price fluctuations in oil.
In the Pacific, Chinese insurance companies are also looking to diversify their revenue streams with the country's biggest insurers, Anbang Insurance Group and Ping An Insurance Group, leading the charge. In 2015, the domestic insurance sector saw a record year in terms of real estate acquisitions, while at the same time purchasing banks and stakes in other insurance companies at home and abroad for a total of US$12.2 billion.
Anbang in particular has been aggressive in its acquisitions. In 2014, it bought Waldorf Astoria from Blackstone for nearly US$2 billion, then a majority stake in South Korea's Tongyang Life worth US$1 billion, as well as office buildings in Toronto and Vancouver worth about US$100 million each.
The main reason for Chinese insurance companies' increased focus on global real estate is to address growing strain on their pension funds as the country's elderly population grows. Traditionally, China's pension funds have only had a mandate to invest domestically, something that recently changed with a policy shift from Beijing. By investing in overseas real estate, the funds are able to acquire assets that are relatively low risk, provide a steady income, and help further diversify their portfolios. JLL projects that these insurance groups could allocate as much as US$240 billion to direct real estate overseas over a long-term period.
Not just investing directly in real estate, these companies are also increasingly forming joint ventures and investing in funds, strategies that give them access to much-needed local knowledge when entering overseas markets.
Exciting times ahead for Asia Pacific
Asia Pacific currently has some of the most vibrant real estate markets globally. The rapid expansion of many economies in the region, its growing middle class, and an increase in urbanisation are the main drivers behind this frenetic pace of change.
Periods of transition such as this are exciting times for investors, providing plenty of opportunities to enter the market at the right time. However, these opportunities naturally involve a certain amount of risk and uncertainty, which underscores the need for markets that are highly transparent and can provide investors with reliable and up-to-date data and local intelligence. Professional advice from experts also plays a crucial role in helping investors make investments that offer the best returns.
As a region, Asia Pacific is full of opportunities, with data from the International Monetary Fund's World Economic Outlook showing that, as of April 2016, countries in the region saw an average growth of six percent in real GDP over the 12 months prior. Even China, which is currently struggling to sustain the exponential growth in its economy, grew its real GDP by six percent during the same period. Meanwhile, many developed countries in North America and Western Europe have seen a growth rate of less than three percent in the same time frame as they continue to recover from the effects of the GFC.
One of the main drivers of Asia Pacific's growth is its rising middle class. The Asian Development Bank estimates that by 2030, the Asian middle class will account for 43 percent of worldwide consumption equivalent to US$32 trillion. Meanwhile, Ernst & Young projects that during the same period, two-thirds of the world's middle class will come from Asia Pacific, with one billion expected to come from China, and 475 million from India.
If the region can sustain current growth trends, it presents a goldmine of opportunities for investors, one of which lies in the real estate sector. For example, despite the downtrend in Australia's mining industry, the country's economy is being pulled up by its strong property market. This has largely been fuelled by record-low interest rates, which have allowed investors to better fund their property purchases.
China and Singapore are also seeing exciting times as they move their capital to neighbouring countries and across the Pacific. Chinese investors, in particular, are buying up in Japan, Australia, and the United States, while Singapore is moving much of its capital State-side.
Rapid urbanisation is key to the region's growth. According to the United Nations, more than half of the population in Asia Pacific will live in urban areas by 2018. While this presents a huge challenge to governments, an increased demand for housing also presents an opportunity for those willing to invest in real estate.
Transparency Remains Important in Real Estate Markets
On a global scale, investors still prefer to acquire real estate assets in key, or 'gateway', cities in the United States, Europe, and Asia Pacific; particularly New York, London, Paris, Tokyo, and Shanghai. Transparency remains a key factor as to why investors choose these markets as it helps ensure that reliable data is available, solid transaction processes are in place, and that there are laws that support international real estate investments. This is also why, despite the improvement in transparency in many countries, 75 percent of commercial real estate investments still go to the top ten global markets with the highest transparency.
However, investors are also expanding their scope further as many countries show significant improvements in transparency in their respective property markets; including Germany, France, Poland, Taiwan, Japan, Slovenia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Romania, Botswana, and Zambia. According to JLL's Global Real Estate Transparency Index (GRETI), transparency scores worldwide have increased by an average of 2.4 percent from 2014 to 2016. The development of the Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) market in some countries such as Mexico and Japan has also helped raise their transparency levels since it, "necessitates the requirement for professional management, improved public disclosure, and improved governance," says Jeremy Kelly, Director in JLL's Global Research team.
Europe is the most transparent region with 20 to 30 of its markets considered either Highly Transparent or Transparent, according to the report. Meanwhile, seven of 13 countries in MENA showed improvements led by Dubai, although Egypt, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia had the strongest improvements. In Sub-Saharan Africa, six of 12 countries reviewed in the 2014 Transparency Index made reasonable progress.
So-called New World Cities are also attracting investors' attention, comprising a bulk of the top 20 cities for real estate investment. These include Boston, San Francisco, Toronto, Sydney, and Seoul. Aside from their highly transparent markets, other factors investors are looking into include improving market fundamentals, good infrastructure and livability profiles, and – in the case of some cities – their active tech sectors.

Lung cancer is one of the most common cancer in India (about 6.8%). It is the most common cause of cancer related deaths in men and the second most common cause of death in women, guides Dr Meenu Walia.
Lung cancer is one of the most common cancer in India (about 6.8% of total Indian population is affected by it). It is the most common cause of cancer related deaths in men and the second most common cause of death in women. Lung cancer alone is responsible for 1.3 million deaths worldwide annually.
The main causes of lung cancer include carcinogens (such as those in tobacco smoke), ionising radiation, and viral infections. This exposure causes cumulative changes to the DNA in the tissue lining the bronchi of the lungs (the bronchial epithelium). As more tissues become damaged, eventually a lung cancer develops.
o Smoking is the single most important cause. Because of increase in smoking habit, the number of lung cancer cases has markedly increased in last 20 years. Smoking, particularly of cigarettes, is by far the main contributor to lung cancer. The length of time a person smokes increases the person's chance of developing lung cancer. If a person stops smoking, this chance steadily decreases.
o Air pollution: Gases emitted by industries and vehicles are carcinogenic.
o Radioactivity chemical exposure: Arsenic, nickel, chromium. (People working in these industries should wear industrial masks).
o Asbestos: Asbestos can cause a variety of lung diseases, including lung cancer. There is a synergistic effect between tobacco smoking and asbestos in the formation of lung cancer.
o Smoker's cough that persists or becomes intense. o Increase in volume of sputum. o Wheezing.
o Non-smoker's cough that persists for more than 2 weeks.
o Change in colour of sputum.
o Blood in sputum.
Other symptoms that can be related to late-stage lung cancer
o Fatigue.
o Loss of appetite.
o Facial Palsy.
o Headache, bone pain, aching joints.
o Bone fractures not related to accidental injury.
o Neurologic symptoms, such as unsteady gait and/or episodic memory loss.
o Unexplained weight loss.
Treatment for lung cancer depends on the cancer's specific cell type, how far it has spread, and the patient's performance status. Common treatments include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy.
Surgery is the main modality of treatment for early lung cancer. If investigations confirm lung cancer, CT scan and often positron emission tomography (PET) are used to determine whether the disease is localised and amenable to surgery or whether it has spread to the point where it cannot be cured surgically.
Radiotherapy is often given together with chemotherapy, and may be used with curative intent in patients with lung cancer who are not eligible for surgery.
Chemotherapy is an important aspect of treatment of lung cancer. Most lung cancer patients require chemotherapy. The latest development is the treatment of lung cancer includes targeted therapies. These targeted therapies hit specific targets which are present on cancer cells. Hence, these therapies are considered superior than conventional chemotherapies.

Sermon Audio
Looking to Christ, Living for Christ
We now come to the last message in our study through the book of Hebrews. With some very practical closing exhortations, the author maintains His Christ-centred focus and ends his letter by drawing our attention to all that Jesus is, and all that Jesus has done. We are also reminded of the personal nature of this letter, that it was penned by a loving, concerned, and faithful man of God who desired his readers to experience the blessings of living wholeheartedly for Christ. As we close out our study of this incredible book, we will be freshly encouraged and exhorted to embrace and apply all that we have covered, which of course is only possible in, and through Christ - our great High Priest.

Have you ever received e-mail messages that threaten to close your PayPal or Ebay account unless you send them information? It's a scam called "phishing." It is pronounced "fishing." It means what it says. Internet scam artists are fishing for information. It comes from Internet fraudsters who send spam or pop-up messages to lure personal information from you. Their objective is to extract sensitive information from unsuspecting victims.
The Federal Trade Commission(FTC) warns you that when phishers send you a fraudulent e-email, they want you to update, validate,or confirm your bank, credit card, or PayPal account, including passwords. Some phishing e-mails threaten to terminate your account if you don't respond. The messages direct you to a website that looks just like a legitimate organization's site. However, it isn't. It's a bogus site whose sole purpose is to trick you into divulging your personal information so the operators can steal your identity and run up bills or commit crimes in your name.
The FTC suggests these tips to help you avoid getting hooked by a phishing scam:
If you get an e-mail message that asks for your personal or financial information, DO NOT REPLY. Do not click on the link in the message. Legitimate companies don't ask for this information via e-mail. If you are concerned about your account, contact your bank or credit card company using a telephone number you know that is genuine.
All the scam merchant needs is for you to access his/her website. Then, you are hooked. To avoid an inadvertent mistake, stay off the internet until you have established contact with your financial institution.
Use anti-virus software and a firewall. Keep them up to date. Some phishing e-mails contain software that can harm your computer or track your activities on the Internet without your knowledge.
Anti-virus software and a firewall can protect you from inadvertently accepting such unwanted files. Anti-virus software scans incoming communications for troublesome files. Look for anti-virus software that recognizes current viruses as well as older ones that can effectively reverse the damage and that updates your files automatically.
A firewall helps make you invisible on the Internet. It blocks all communications from unauthorized sources. It is especially important to use a firewall if you have a broadband connection. Operating systems like Windows also may offer free software updates to close holes in the system that hackers or phishers could exploit.
Don't e-mail personal or financial information. E-mail is not a secure method of transmitting personal information. If you initiate a transaction and need to provide such information, look for indicators that the destination site is secure. Unfortunately, no indicator is foolproof. Some phishers have forged security icons.
Review credit card and bank account statements as soon as you receive them. Check for unauthorized charges,address changes,and unexplained account balances.
Be cautious about opening any attachment or downloading any files from emails you receive, regardless of who sent them. These files can contain viruses or other software that can weaken your computer's security.
After you are back on the internet, forward spam e-mail that is phishing for information to firstname.lastname@example.com. Also, forward the suspicious e-mail to the company, bank, or organization impersonated in the phishing e-mail. Most organizations have information on their websites about where to report problems.
If you believe you've been scammed, file your complaint to ftc.gov, and then visit the FTC's Identity Theft website at www.consumer.gov/idtheft. Victims of phishing can become victims of identity theft. While you can't entirely control whether you will become a victim of identity theft, you can take some steps to minimize your risk. If an identity thief is opening credit accounts in your name, these new accounts are likely to show up on your credit report. You may catch an incident early if you order a free copy of your credit report periodically from any of the three major credit bureaus.

China will more than double its cotton imports, says Ed Jernigan, president and CEO of Globecot, Inc., Memphis, TN.
The estimate is nearly 60% more than USDA's December predictions.
China has purchased around 5 million bales of cotton — 3.5 million from the U.S. says Jernigan. He predicts China's cotton consumption will be a record 31.5 million bales. China has produced around 21 million bales and will not allow stocks below 8 million bales according to Jernigan.
To compete in this market, he says U.S. cotton producers will need fiber quality above the 1116 length that has become the U.S. standard. Base cotton quality is 1332 in the rest of the world, and U.S. cotton is now discounted, he adds.
Jernigan predicts this year's global demand for cotton will only be exceeded by even larger demand in 2004-05. "This bodes well for the U.S. producer," says Jernigan.

MOSCOW — A Russian adult cartoon TV channel that had been threatened with losing its frequency after religious groups complained that episodes of "South Park" and other toons incited religious and national hatred, earned a reprieve late Wednesday.
But authorities have asked it to review its content.
The Russian federal TV and radio broadcasting competition commission unanimously recommended that 2X2 — a Moscow and St. Petersburg terrestrial service owned by billionaire industrialist Vladimir Potanin's Profmedia group — keep its license, due for renewal mid-October.
Federal TV and radio watchdog body, Rossvyazkomnadzor, which has the last word, is also likely to approve a five-year extension to 2X2's license.
Sergey Sitnikov, deputy head of Rossvyazkomnadzor, who also chairs the broadcasting competition commission, said: "The federal competitive commission perfectly understands that the decision will satisfy one part of the audience in Moscow and St. Petersburg, but not the other."
The dispute over the cartoon channel's content — which has been the subject of dispute over the past year, with various religious groups complaining about alleged violence or offensiveness in cartoons that have included "The Simpsons," "Happy Tree Friends" and "The Adventures of Big Jeff" — boiled down to one of conflicting tastes, Sitnikov said in comments reported by Russian wire agencies.
The competition commission's decision was designed to draw a line under the conflict and move forward, Sitnikov said, adding that the channel should reconsider its content to bring it more closely into line with its license conditions, which included TV films and drama series as well as cartoons.


text: Zenith -- Film Review 10:35 PM PDT 10/14/2010 by AP FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Empty TWITTER Empty When a film's director is billed in the opening credits as its "Experiment Supervisor," you know you're in for a different sort of cinematic experience. Such is the case with Vladan Nikolic's "Zenith," a futuristic thriller whose intriguing premise is undercut by a gimmicky execution that encourages its viewers to fill in the numerous narrative gaps by logging onto to a variety of websites. Simply watching the movie makes you feel practically lazy. The film, set in the year 2044, depicts a society in which unhappiness has been genetically removed from people's make-ups, resulting in a population that is not so much euphoric as simply numb. So numb, in fact, that a thriving black market exists for pharmaceuticals whose negative side effects are seen as desirable. Oh, and for some reason the ability to fully understand language has been partially removed in the process. The anti-hero, Jack (Peter Scanavino), is a former doctor who now illegally deals such substances. But when he is exposed to a videotape made decades earlier by his father (Jason Robards III) warning of the vast conspiracy responsible for society's current messy condition, he becomes obsessed with investigating the mystery, the secrets of which apparently are revealed on a series of missing tapes. That's when the viewer must get to work, as to fully solve the puzzle -- or, as the media notes put it, the "transmedia storyline" -- one must go online to a series of websites including YouTube. Frankly, it's all too much work, and one comes away wishing that more effort had been spent on the actual film, which tends to overly meander owing to its endless series of explanatory monologues. (A few sex scenes in which Jack engages with a beautiful but mysterious prostitute, played by Ana Asensio, help to alleviate the boredom.) Still, there's no denying that the writer-director displays some real conceptual imagination, and the barren, postapocalyptic landscape, shot in rundown New York neighborhoods, has an all-too-convincing feel. "Zenith" probably won't achieve the cult status to which it aspires, but its creator is a talent to watch.

Best of
the Twin Cities
The Twin Cities is full of places to crash for the weekend, but Hotel 340 is an attraction in its own right. Located in the heart of downtown St. Paul, this ancient boarding house has the same trappings of historic glamour as other iconic hotels, only on a smaller scale. It's a humble gem at a good price, where staff is friendly and service comes in the spirit of a neighborhood bed and breakfast. Efficiency rooms are small but characteristically cozy, modern in the amenities but graced with furniture straight out of The Chronicles of Narnia. A cavernous lobby with an old-world fireplace and wrought-iron chandeliers leads to a bookish bar carved from gorgeous cherry hardwood.

To cheer the two fighters V Aunty and P Aunty. One fighting for last 8 months and other for last 2 months. Women who have the attitude to beat the Bad C, this one is for you!
I felt happy both women felt a little lighter sharing their experiences with each other. My heart was smiling inside to see the tensions diffused for just a while.
This Sunday evening was planned to be a counseling session for P aunty by V aunty. I had promised to pick up V aunty from her home. So I decided to bake something to cheer them up. Something high protien and with a Wow factor.
These two women have pampered me many times. One rushing to feed me breakfast at 7 am with hot Jackfruit leaf idlis and packing special treats in her hand bag and handing them out to me in unexpected places. The other has cooked hot meals many a times for me when I have visited her on a whim. I would do anything to make them gleeful. Both have been mentioned many times on this blog.
I had seen many of the bloggers create beautiful upside down cakes
Nupur's Ginger-Pear-Saffron Cake
Sailu's Pineapple Upside down Cake
and Saee's Sunny side up that I keep dreaming about !
OK so I fell for the upside down thing. I am a little scared of using fresh fruits when I am presenting a cake to someone lest it is not consumed when fresh. Dried Anjeer/ Figs in my pantry sounded purffecto!
I designed my cake in my mind like a true genious! It will be Polka dots when upside down. On cutting it will show the marble effect of chocolate and out will fall the richness of dryfruits...
So I went and pulled out all my dryfruits stock. The figs were submerged into the water while I did other things. The butter was kept out to be in semi molten state since last night so that I could rub it into the flour.
Oops let me tell you what you should keep ready before we proceed coz I know you are baking with me after drooling at the pictures.
14 roundels of dried figs/ Anjeer
1 cup all purpose flour/ maida
1 cup of almond flour (homemade)
1/8 cup of coarse ground pista
1/4 cup Cadbury's cocoa powder
5 black date chopped fine
handful of golden raisins
50gms of Amul butter
2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup milk approximately
1 inches of cinnamon bark
2-3 cloves
2 cardamoms
3/4 cup sugar
First grind sugar along with the spices, cinnamon, cloves, cardamoms to a fine powder. Keep aside.
Then prepare the tin. I used 5 inch hexagon. Grease with butter and dust with flour. Tap the upside down lightly over your mixing bowl to remove excess flour. Set aside.
Before starting to mix the batter. Switch on th oven and preheat it at 180 degree celcius. You will need 15 mins to mix the two batters. Meawhile the oven will be ready to take the cake in its womb.
Now take 2 mixing bowls. One for chocolate batter the other for white batter.
First in the Chocolate batter bowl put the almond flour, coarse pista powder, chopped dates, cocoa powder, raisins. Add 1 teaspoon baking powder. Now scrape out about 10 gms of butter into it. Rub the butter into the mix. Finally add 1/4 cup milk and 1/4 cup above sugar n spice powder. Mix well and swiftly. To get a slighty frothy choco dryfruit mix. Keep aside.
In a different mixing bowl add the flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 3/4 cup sugar n spice powder. Rub in 40 gms of butter. This will make the cake really light and fluffy. Mix swiftly while you add the milk. You may use up 3/4 cup of milk and need a little more. Since this is flour batter you will need to make sure the consistency of the batter is foldable. That means the batter must fall in folds when dropped from slight height into the mixing bowl.
Remember we had soaked the figs in water only till your batters get ready. Remove them from water and line the up at the bottom of the pan. Now pour the white batter first. spread it evenly with a spatula. Then pour the chocolate batter over it. Swirl a knife in the batter to give it a marble effect when baked.
Now is the time for the cake to go into the oven. In about 10 mins time I just checked the cake and saw that it had already formed a crust but was jiggly inside. I inserted a knife and it came out with powdery white tip and gooey chocolate. From my experience in baking I thought it smart to cover the cake tin loosely with aluminium foil. Then it took almost 25 mins to bake till inserted knife came out clean.
After cooling it for 5 mins I turned the cake out onto a colorful tray. Let it cool and then covered with the same foil tightly and draped a nice little napkin over it and carried it over like a buttler to V aunty's home. This one went to V aunty and P aunty got one shapped like a loaf as there are more people in her home.
After delivering the cake at V aunty's and picking her up we drove to P aunty's. After the intial akward talks and seriousness we were enjoying ourselves. While I had baked the cakes Dad had made our famous Rolled and sliced Kothimbir Vadi. He had steamed the rolls which we carried over and shallow fried at P aunty's to serve hot of the tava.
I felt happy both women felt a little lighter sharing their experiences with each other. My heart was smiling inside to see the tensions diffused for just a while.
Get the Mamogram done the moment you find an unusual lump in the breast, even if it is not painful or if you find any of these symptons. Irrespective of your age. Early diagnosis will give better control over Breast Cancer. It has more chances of cure than internal cancers. Be prepared if you have to fight it than being ignorant about it because it is very common.
Request to the Men:
Remind the ladies in your life, wife, mother, sister, sister-in-law to check periodically. Educate them if they are not aware. You are the Men of today, show you are sensitive to the ladies in your life.

After over a year of dating, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have decided to take a break from their relationship.
On the bright side, it seems like there are no controversial rumors surrounding this celebrity breakup. According to a joint statement given by their reps to People, "Before rumors or falsifications get out of hand, we can confirm that Orlando and Katy are taking respectful, loving space at this time."
We have to admit that we didn't see this one coming. The two always seemed so at ease with each other! And just recently, Miranda Kerr, Bloom's ex-wife, shared in an interview that Flynn, their 6-year-old son, "[got] along really well" with the "Roar" singer.
The same People report states that Katy and Orlando have spent weeks traveling apart, and that "Katy didn't spend much time with Orlando" during the Vanity Fair Oscars Party on Sunday. Maybe things just fizzled out? Either way, it's always refreshing to hear about a drama-free celebrity breakup.
We're only hoping for the best for these two!

10 communications errors that are ruining your career
To err might be human, but these mistakes are costing your organization no small amount of time and money. Make sure your team knows where these traps are and how to avoid them.
Everyone knows communication is key to a productive relationship—and yet everyone makes communication mistakes.
It's all too common to send an email only to realize that it contained an embarrassing typo; in the professional world, a faux pas can lead to lost income, reduced business or a damaged reputation.
Even those who are ultra-conscientious may be doomed to fail if they unwittingly make communication mistakes, but fortunately, many of the most common issues can be easily identified and addressed. After all, knowing is half the battle.
Whether exchanging opinions and ideas with colleagues, employees, clients or contractors, an effective communication strategy is vital to business success.
Here are 10 common mistakes you should weed out of your communications ASAP:
1. You hide bad news.
It is human nature to avoid conflict, and while it might be easier to leave negative feedback unspoken, avoiding it will lead to greater problems in the future.
Instead of trying to sweep bad news under the rug, prepare for difficult conversations in advance. Decide what to say and present your ideas as clear, actionable feedback. If it is a criticism or coaching opportunity you are uncomfortable with, you may find it helpful to role-play the conversation first.
[FREE GUIDE: Workplace EX Comms Handbook]
2. You burn your bridges.
Emotion drives even the most professional communicators from time-to-time.
When something seriously goes awry, it can be tempting to cut and run. Ending a business relationship may be the right choice, but it is important to end it with courtesy and professionalism.
Never underestimate the long-term impact burned bridges can have on future business endeavors. Not only will you be spoiling a professional reference, but you could miss out on future opportunities if the person changes companies or talks to potential clients or employers.
3. You micromanage your team.
People want to feel valued and trusted and communication mistakes will certainly make them feel anything but appreciation. By micromanaging the projects and tasks of your co-workers, you are sending the message that you do not trust them.
Unless colleagues have already proven themselves unworthy of your trust, give them the space they need to do their work. Constantly watching them and checking the status of a task in progress will only lead to resentment and demoralization.
Many professionals would be surprised to learn their micromanagement tendencies have more to do with lack of confidence in themselves than in their colleagues. A leadership course might be effective in overcoming this tendency.
4. You don't respond; you react.
If you feel the impulse to react with frustration, shock, or anger, take a pause. Consider the facts and calmly respond to the situation instead of reacting to it. Emotional reactions, whether through shouting or tersely-worded emails, can damage reputations.
Instead, become an active listener and controlled communicator.
Employ the five principles of listening:
- Receive – Hear the message.
- Understand – Interpret the message and process the information.
- Evaluate – Form your thoughts and opinions on the information you've just heard.
- Remember – Store the information for future reference.
- Respond – Provide feedback.
Recognize what your colleague is telling you, so they feel valued and heard. Even if the result of the conversation is the same, your delivery will set a positive tone.
5. Your messages lack clarity.
We all know what can happen when we assume, so why do we continue to do it on a regular basis?
If you have asked a colleague to complete a task for you, don't immediately assume you are on the same page. Misinterpretations can have terrible consequences.
Instead of barking an order or sending off a request, explain its purpose. Make sure your associate understands how the task pertains to your goal.
The same philosophy pertains when taking a request. Try paraphrasing and restating the question to your colleague. Not only will you make sure you are taking the right direction, but you will instill confidence.
6. You don't follow up.
We are all busy, but failing to follow-up can result in failed projects, missed deadlines and even lost relationships.
If you email a colleague, do not assume the email was received and understood. Make a note to follow-up if you do not receive confirmation by a certain date.
Of course, there is a fine line between follow-up and micromanagement. If you know a task is underway, do not send daily emails to check status. Set a reminder to follow-up halfway to the deadline, and then again on the final day—if you have not received a response by then.
7. You don't ask questions.
Questions are vital to running a business, and not asking the right questions is one of the biggest communications mistakes you can make.
Any time a task or request is less than 100 percent clear, be sure to ask for clarification.
Closed questions, requiring a "yes" or "no" response or simple choice, can fail to provide additional clarity and may be construed as pressuring a colleague. Instead, try using open-ended questions beginning with, "how," "why" or "what" which encourage further explanation.
For example, instead of asking, "Will you meet the deadline?" try using "How do you feel about the deadline?" and instead of "Do you understand?" try asking "How would you handle this?"
8. You rely too much on your email.
Electronic communication—emails, text messages, and instant messages—have dramatically helped hasten and streamline business communication. However, they can also be a crutch if too heavily relied upon, especially with sensitive subjects.
Any form of written communication—no matter how many emojis you use—will not soften a message in the same way body language and nonverbal cues do. Written messages may also be misconstrued, especially if the sender attempts to incorporate dry humor or sarcasm.
9. You apologize needlessly.
Too many pros have fallen into the over-apologizing trap by expressing regret in situations where there is no reason to be sorry.
For some it is a bad habit, but in other cases, that habit has grown into a reflexive reaction which is a form of self-deprecation.
Over-apologizing may convey a lack of confidence or even an acceptance of undeserved guilt. Additionally, the action may lead you to appear insincere when an apology is necessary.
10. You practice "one-size-fits-all" communication.
Just as there are multiple learning styles for a variety of personalities, different people also communicate in different ways.
While no communication style is superior to another, choosing the wrong style for your audience not only hinders active listening but can completely derail your communication efforts.
According to Leadership IQ's Mark Murphy, nearly everyone falls into one of four communication styles, based on their needs and expectations:
- Analytical – Thrives on hard data, real numbers, statistics and facts.
- Intuitive – Cuts to the chase, avoids unnecessary details and focuses on the big picture.
- Functional – Likes details, timelines, specific processes and thorough plans.
- Personal – Values emotional language and human connections.
Professionals who use a "one-size-fits-all" communication approach can inadvertently overlook different colleagues' personalities and needs.

Mariners hope to keep bats alive against Rangers
The Seattle Mariners look to continue their sudden power surge when they square off against the homestanding Texas Rangers on Tuesday in the middle contest of a three-game series at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas.
After scoring a combined 10 runs in their past four games, three of those losses, the Mariners came alive against Texas on Monday, ripping three home runs in a 10-2 win in their first-ever game in the Rangers' new ballpark.
It was the first time the retractable roof had been open for a regular-season game at the stadium.
The Mariners, who have won two straight, recorded 15 hits off six Texas pitchers, led by Kyle Lewis and Dylan Moore with three hits apiece. Moore also had a solo home run as every Seattle player had at least one hit.
The loss snapped a season-best three-game winning streak for the Rangers.
Texas signed infielder Derek Dietrich to a minor league contract on Monday and sent him to the team's alternate training site in what is expected to be a temporary assignment. Dietrich played with the Reds last year after six seasons in Miami. The Rangers are looking for some production out of their infielders, especially at second base.
"(Dietrich) brings a lot of energy, a lot of fight, a lot of grind," Texas manager Chris Woodward told mlb.com before Monday's game. "He's a left-handed bat who's good against righties, can play pretty much anywhere in the infield but short. I really like him at second and first."
The Mariners made some roster moves as well prior to Monday's contest, which was the first of an eight-game road trip for Seattle. Most notable among the transactions was placing right-hander reliever Carl Edwards Jr. on the 10-day injured list with a flexor mass strain in his right forearm.
Edwards has appeared in five games in 2020, allowing one run on two hits with six strikeouts and a walk in 4 2/3 innings. He garnered a save on Aug. 5 in his most recent showing.
Mariners manager Scott Servais told the Seattle Times that Edwards' strain is "mild" and said he thought Edwards could return in a few weeks.
"He'll probably just be a couple weeks down, though a couple weeks in a year like this is a big deal," Servais said. "Hopefully, he won't be out too long. He was throwing the ball really well."
The Mariners recalled right-hander Bryan Shaw to take Edwards' spot on the active roster.
Texas will send left-hander Mike Minor to the mound on Tuesday. Minor (0-3, 6.89 ERA) is 4-4 with a 4.73 ERA in nine career starts and three relief appearances against the Mariners. He has enjoyed most of his success versus Seattle in the past two seasons, when he's forged a 3-1 mark with a 4.50 ERA and a 1.25 WHIP in four starts.
The Mariners will counter with left-hander Marco Gonzales, Seattle's erstwhile No. 1 starter. Gonzales (2-1, 3.06) held the Los Angeles Angels to three hits -- all solo homers -- in seven innings in his most recent outing. He is 5-4 with a 3.70 ERA in 10 career starts versus Texas.

C. 20555 TO ALL POWER REACTOR LICENSEES, APPLICANTS FOR OPERATING LICENSES NSS VENDORS, REACTOR VENDORS AND ARCHITECT ENGINEERS Gentlemen: Subject: Meeting to Discuss Recent Developments for Operating Licensing Examinations (Generic Letter No. 82-38) On January 6, 1982, a meeting was held in Bethesda, Md. to discuss the revised format and content of the NRC Operator and Senior Operator Licensing Examinations. The meeting was well received by the participants and provided valuable feedback to the staff. Generic Letter 82-13 discussed the questions and suggestions raised in that meeting. Since there have been several developments in the area of Operator Licensing since the January 1982 meeting, the staff will hold a similar meeting at the Holiday Inn, 8200 Wisconsin Avenue, Bethesda, Maryland, on February 11, 1983 at 9:00 am. We have planned a format similar to the last meeting. There will be a brief presentation by the Director, Division of Human Factors Safety, and the Branch Chief of Operator Licensing Branch, followed by roundtable discussions. The following topics will be discussed: 1. Implementation of the NRC Requalification Audit Examinations, 2. NRC Activities to Assess the Licensing Examination Process and Content, 3. New Administrative Procedures, including computerization of the Operator Licensing Branch Administrative System and use of a Standardized Application Form, 4. Regionalization of the Operator Licensing Function. Because of the importance of these topics to you and the licensed operators, we urge you to have representation from your training department at this meeting. Since the Requalification Audit Program is still undergoing internal review, information in addition to that already included in Generic Letter 82-18 is not available at this time. We will make additional information on this Program, and on the improved administrative system, available as soon as required reviews are completed. . - 2 - Should you have any questions regarding the submittal of safeguards information to the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, please contact Eugene W. McPeek at (301) 492-4782. Sincerely, Darrell G. Eisenhut, Director Division of Licensing Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation

The perfect manner of the crocodile
faceted glinting eye that never blinks.
Somewhere behind the stare there's something thinks
old venom malice. Not so much a smile
though teeth are there and blooded. Maybe smirk
self-pleased and praised. And hungers not for blood
but bone crunch and she waddles in the mud
unresting. Values gold and pain and work
and armour wrapped around. In grids and swirls
hard leathered nodules nothing can bites to bleed
A tail that she can bludgeon smash at need.
And round the neck a perfect set of pearlS,
the queen of death she squelches through this bog
we made her queen believing her a log.

How to Handle Home Office Deductions for Two Separate Businesses
With the rising influence of computers and information technology in the workplace, more people are choosing to work from home. In addition to avoiding long commutes and having the freedom to set your own hours, working from home allows you to deduct home office expenses on your tax return. But when you run two or more businesses from your home, or you share working space with your spouse, you should observe special rules when claiming the deduction.
The home office deduction allows you to deduct part of your home costs as a business or employee expense on your tax return. Several other rules apply, but generally you can claim the deduction if you have a dedicated workspace for your home office, and the office is required by your employer or is the principal location of your own business. You also can claim the deduction for a space that you use to regularly meet clients, or for a free-standing structure such as garage that you use only for business.
To qualify for the deduction, you must designate a specific area in your home as a home office, and you cannot use the area for personal activities or personal storage. It can be a room, or just part of a room, as long as the area you claim has an "identifiable space." If you use the office for two separate business activities, the home office must qualify as your principal place of business for both activities or you cannot take the deduction for either. For example, if you convert one of your rooms into a design studio and earn extra income doing freelance work, you can take a deduction for the studio. However, if you also use the studio to do work for your regular job even though you are not required to work at home by your employer, you cannot claim the deduction for either activity.
Multiple Businesses
If you have separate business activities and they both meet the qualifications for a home-office deduction, you must file a separate Form 8829 for each activity. If you use a separate office space for each activity, simply figure out the percentage of your home that each space takes up, and use those figures when calculating your deductions on the forms. If you use the same space for both activities, you can split the deduction between the two activities.
Multiple Users
If you and another person both use the same home office space for qualified business activities, you should split the deduction between the two of you. When splitting the deduction, you should consider factors such as how much time each person uses the space and how much of the space is dedicated to each person's equipment and storage.

I actually think it's a great way to for homebuyers to check out the neighborhoods of homes they're interested in before they go to a house and discover it looks great in MLS pictures but the neighborhood itself… eh, not so much.

Ukraine official charged over acid killing
- Published
Ukrainian prosecutors have charged a high-ranking local official over a deadly acid attack on a prominent anti-corruption activist.
The agony of Kateryna Handzyuk, 33, shocked Ukraine. She died from her burns in November, after more than 10 operations. She was attacked in July.
Vladyslav Manger, head of the Kherson regional council in southern Ukraine, was charged with organising murder.
His lawyer said no evidence had been presented against his client.
Five other suspects are in detention.
Larisa Sargan, spokeswoman for Ukraine's chief prosecutor, said Mr Manger would have to appear before a judge in Kiev on Tuesday to face a detention order.
The indictment accuses Mr Manger of ordering the murder because of "personal hostility towards her for opposing illegal logging" in the region. A guilty verdict could send him to prison for life.
Investigators went to search Mr Manger's home on Monday. His lawyer, Dmitry Ilchenko, said "the prosecution has presented no evidence" for the accusation.
Mr Manger denied knowing Handzyuk personally or having any ties, telling a TV station he was "ready to answer all questions from investigators" and that he was "not going to go anywhere and will fully co-operate with the investigation".
Two other suspects - Sergei Torbin and Nikita Grabchuk - are in pre-trial detention in the case, and three more suspects are under house arrest.
Human rights activists say there were more than 50 assaults on anti-corruption campaigners in Ukraine last year, including five murders.

Every year I kick off my revision by making a humongous timeline of tasks and of course the yearly revision playlist. I thought I'd go through what makes the perfect revision playlist from the opinion of a easily distracted English student.
1- Calm music: I think we all know we don't want anything too upbeat or crazy to revise too, or anything that will result in a crazy solo dance party in your room. For me I tend to look for new artists as well, as I find listening to music I know all the words too can be hugely distracting. My go to's for chilled music are Bon Iver, Vancouver Sleep Clinic, Volcano Choir, Ben Howard, Fleetwood Mac, Birdy, The Lumineers. Basically anything that is of a similar beat so it doesn't cause too many distractions.
2- No sad songs: theres a fine line, as a lot of calming music can be sad. But finding ones that aren't horrifically sad will be extremely helpful, as it means you won't get into those revision induced episodes where you sit staring into the distance in the library wondering what on earth you are doing with your life.
3- Piano and classical music: as someone that has to read a lot as part of my revision, music with lyrics sometimes isn't ideal for me. I find that listening to piano and ballet music instead keeps me concentrated and calm, and it is also really pleasant to listen to. I have a separate playlist for reading and for actual revision so I can easily switch it up between tasks.
4- Motivating music: something that keeps me in a good mood is listening to motivating and upbeat music when I wake up and in my revision breaks, as it enables me to feel wake up and have a good start to the day and keep me motivated at frequent periods throughout the day. My current favourite for this is the Greatest Showman soundtrack, but this can be anything that you enjoy listening to.
5- White Noise: Alternatively, when I am really struggling to concentrate or I am revising a hard topic, I opt to listen to white noise. When you first do this it kind of seems like its going to be a boring and painful experience. However, I find I work so much faster as it blocks out any background noise (if you have good headphones) and allows no opportunity for distractions. I highly recommend this if you haven't tried it already!
