Hotel at the town square of Glorenza
The people come to the town square of Glorenza and see the façade of Grüner Baum, and when they enter the hotel, they are surprised. The core of the house dates back to around 1500, the wood-panelled "Stube" room is 300 years old, wooden stoves and floors date back to the late 19th century.
Historic walls and modern lifestyle make up a timeless unit. This impression is also underlined by the choice of materials: satin glass, nebbia-coloured leather, double and triple woven fabrics, white oiled wood surfaces, messing lamps as reminders of the turn of the century.

For those who just tuned in, I'm transcribing and reworking the notes from an old journal consisting entirely of thoughts and observations made while sitting on my front porch. The butternut tree that then dominated the view has since fallen over, and I have yet to reconcile myself to its loss – or to the imminent loss of its species, currently being wiped out throughout its range by a disease of unknown origin and poorly understood epidemiology.
3:20 p.m. Fifty-four degrees. A male white-breasted nuthatch inches along the edge of the porch roof, probing under the lip of shingles with his workmanlike bill.
There are four things you need to know about white-breasted nuthatches (Sitta carolinensis): 1) they are basically solitary; 2) their strongest allegiance as a non-migratory, highly territorial species is to place; 3) nuthatch space is defined and delimited by the presence of trees, with which they have a unique and intimate relationship; and 4) they spend must of their waking hours upside-down, finding thereby all the small gleanings overlooked by everyone else.

I'll be back in India, says Vettel
Indian GP champion Vettel eager to return and put in an even better performance next year
Indian GP champion Vettel eager to return and put in an even better performance next year
Winner of the inaugural Indian GP, Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel just can't get over the India experience. The morning after overwhelming a 95000-strong audience at the Buddh International Circuit, he told MiD DAY that he just can't wait to be back next year and put in an even better show. Excerpts from an interview.
Splendid: Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel after winning the Indian GP.
Pic/Getty Images
You had a fantastic race? Before coming to India would you have expected this result?
It was a new track and that meant it is difficult to predict what to expect. How many times to pit, what strategy (to implement). We had practised on the simulator but there is nothing like the real thing, especially with these conditions. But now we know what the track is and we'll be better prepared next year. We always want to win, and come to race with our eyes on winning. There are still two more races and I don't think we will let down on our efforts.
Do you think the dog incident at practice has really marred this inaugural Indian GP, given all the media attention the unfortunate incident has received?
We have seen this happen at other tracks, so it's not the first time for us! You put it behind and forget about it quickly.
You eased into qualifying and clinched pole yesterday? Did you push your car at qualifying, or did you reserve that for the race?
I was pushing very hard into the box at the race, but we seemed to lose a little bit there, which we need to understand. It was important to manage the tyres and make sure we had enough rubber, but it was a very smooth race. The car was well balanced and it was a fantastic race.
How keen are you to see Webber emerge second in the drivers' championship?
The whole team is behind him and he is pushing his car as well. He is extremely hungry for the No 2 spot and we will do our best to make it happen.
What are your final thoughts on the Indian GP? One final message for the Indian fans who love you.
It was an amazing race and an amazing place. It is the first grand prix in India and I am very proud to be the first winner. The fans were so supportive with so many flags in the stands. There is a lot to learn from India, the people, the culture. I was surprised to learn that some Bollywood movies were made in my hometown of Heppenheim! All I can say to the wonderful people of India for now is that with regards to next year: We'll be back for sure!

Why permanent makeup?
Permanent makeup is a helpful option for a variety of people whether they are looking for an enhancement and don't have time to do makeup every morning or for those who have suffered from hair loss. It is also a great alternative for anyone looking to simplify their beauty routine, whether that's getting out of bed and spending less time in front of the mirror, going to the gym, in a profession that dictates being in front of the camera or on stage frequently, or even going swimming without having to worry about their makeup coming off. Permanent makeup is also a great option for people who have loss of vision or loss of motor skills due to aging or medical conditions.
What should I expect prior to my procedure? What should I do before hand to prepare?
Before the procedure, we send our clients pre and post care instructions along with information on what to expect. Some of our recommendations include:
No facials for two weeks before or after
No blood thinners the night before or day of
No caffeine, alcohol or pre-workouts the night before or day of
No brow waxing two weeks before
Can you explain more about the consultation process and what goes into this?
When a client comes in for either a consult or initial appointment, our technicians discuss the client's goals including what they want to achieve. We are happy for our clients to bring in photos, social media or any other inspirations to help further guide our technicians.
Each Artist lets the client know exactly what to expect and lets them know different possible outcomes depending on their skin types and desired look. Our consultations are listening sessions where the technician listens to each of their client's wants and needs to administer the best look to enable them to feel completely satisfied and live their most beautiful life.
What should I expect after my procedure? What is my after care protocol?
After the procedure, the area of service will appear brighter or darker than what it is intended to look like. Some swelling may occur and some redness may show depending on each client, however, this will reduce in a few hours. Brows are to be left alone for 48 hours and we require our clients to apply grape seed oil for 10 minutes, twice a day for two weeks. Lips are to be kept moist with Aquaphor throughout the day for two weeks as needed. Eyes are left alone for two weeks. Each area should be kept free of any moisture, makeup, direct sun exposure, and friction for two weeks. Color following the initial application will fade and show more of the true color after the healing period.
Does it hurt?
Everybody is different when it comes to sensitivity. We do our very best to make sure you are comfortable from start to finish. We ask you to arrive 30 minutes prior to your appointment time to start numbing. You will be numbed with our top of the line numbing cream which will ease about 20% of the discomfort. Once your technician starts the actual procedure, she will numb you again to make sure sensitivity is reduced as much as possible. A lot of clients describe the experience similar to intensified tweezing or threading, while some fall asleep during the procedure.
How long is the healing process?
For the first 2 weeks, we ask to be extremely careful with the area; meaning no makeup, sun exposure, moisture or friction of any kind. You will experience some scabbing a few days after the procedure. Once the scabbing has finished, you may apply any makeup to the area and wash your face normally. 21 days after the procedure, we require you to come back for a perfecting visit (touch up) to complete the process. Understand this is a multi session process so a perfecting visit is crucial.
How long does it last?
Permanent makeup will last anywhere from 1-3 years. However, skin type, lifestyle and maintenance all take in part of the duration. We recommend our clients to come back yearly for a color boost to freshen up the area and the color and keep it looking good as new.
How do I know if permanent makeup is for me?
Most people are tired of constantly filling in your brows, putting on eyeliner or lipstick and are looking for a more permanent solution. If this describes you, then this is for you. Also, if you have suffered from some sort of hair loss or are looking for a more natural look without putting in so much effort, you are a good candidate for permanent makeup. Permanent makeup is also great for people who are active, always on the go, busy moms, people in the entertainment industry who need to look good at any given time, or women who simply want to spend less time in front of the mirror.
Is permanent makeup expensive?
Sheila Bella believes that people are looking for the highest possible quality of work. As stated, remember that this is your face and there is no room for compromise. Only the highest quality of work should suffice. When it comes to your face, accept nothing less than a first class result with no one else but a master practitioner. Remember this is your face, you want perfect permanent makeup.
What safety practices do you utilize?
Every technician is certified by Blood Borne Pathogens and we use 100% disposable tools. This certification is renewed every year. For our flagship product (brows), we use a "Harmony Needle" that is 100% disposable from top to bottom. Each needle is properly disposed in a sharps container, never to be reused. For more information on our safety principles, visit our "Safety Key" page.
Why Sheila Bella?
We want our clients to know and feel they are in the best hands. Beyond providing a vast variety of before and after photos and videos so our clients have an idea of what their permanent makeup will look like, we are completely honest and upfront with our clients about what to expect and how our procedures are done. With a highly skilled team of 14 technicians, we ensure the highest level of service, skill and quality control in all that we do. Our company is not only built on our skill sets, but integrity as well.

Ikea has been called the "invisible designer of domestic life" for the way it's revolutionized home furnishing around the world — in 48 countries, at last count.
But in the US, the Swedish company has discovered that customers aren't just coming in for home furnishings.
As Sarah Halzack reports for the Washington Post, Ikea saw its food division (think restaurant offerings as well as
packaged foods like chocolate or sacues) enjoy an 8% increase in sales in the last fiscal year, almost doubling the overall 4.5% increase that the stores in America saw in the same time period.
(Behold the #ikeafood hashtag on Instagram for further evidence).
So Ikea, whose innovations range from moveable walls to 3D-knitted chairs to lamps that will charge your phone, is doubling down on its food business by turning its food courts into three distinct eateries.
Halzack reports that there will be:
- A quick meal area with high tables and bar stools.
- A family-friendly area with games for kids.
- A cafe area with comfy couches called "fika," a Swedish word for coffee break where you grab a coffee, a pastry, and a conversation, with no devices involved.
The revamping, which will reportedly happen across all 41 of Ikea's US stores, will roll out over 2016.
It comes after last year's introduction of vegan meatballs and a recent pledge to make a more "circular Ikea" where customers more readily repair and recycle products.

Few subjects can fire up genre fans' interest like news of a Hollywood adaptation of Asian media. Whether its derision (Dragon Ball), antipathy (Oldboy) or support (various mecha franchises), the notion of feeding an Asian favorite into the American film process has proven to be a provocative prospect. The reasons for this are evident. My domains on AICN are Japanese comics and Japanese animation, and what I've always said is the appeal of these subjects is that they offer a distinctive perspective, presented in a distinctive style. That applies to the broader topic of Asian media that has attracted North American interest. Whether it's Park Chan-wook's Old Boy or Junko Mizuno's vision of grotesque cuteness, Asian media has offered plenty of works of attention commanding distinctiveness with plenty of reason to possess a strong opinion about the prospect of it being reprocessed. Since 1994, one of the most eye opening and insightful outlets for information on Asian and Asian American popular culture has been the bi-monthly magazine Giant Robot. To be honest, as with the New Yorker, I've gotten busy and backlogged and let my subscription run out a few times, but the highly recommended resource is one that I've always found to be valuably eye opening. The most recent issue 63 alone featured Hong Kong film god John Woo, Katamari Damacy creator Keita Takahashi, Pro skateboarder Kenny Anderson, actor Nick Cheung, Indie filmmaker from the Philippines Ana Agabin, Indie crime writer Leonard Chang, and Hong Kong art filmmaker Yonfan. I'd like to think that these are the kind of subjects that excite AICN readers.
Unfortunately, Giant Robot has not escaped the pressures cracking the print industry. I don't think you'll find a more addicted digital media junky than me. Decorum be damned, if I have nothing better to do, I'll pull out my phone and start browsing RSS feeds. At the same time, I'd argue that digital media rarely matches print in depth and can't compare in graphic design. Cases in which it has been able to support the kind of writer who've made a career in print have been rare. Even if online ventures weren't also facing difficulties, the loss of an outstanding print magazine is unlikely to be compensated for by the addition anything online. As such, when a outlet like Giant Robot says there on the precipice, it deserves notice. So, allow me to direct your attention to Giant Robot's fundraiser. THE MAGAZINE For more than 15 years, Giant Robot has been documenting, promoting, and growing Asian and Asian American popular culture. Although a lot has changed since 1994, and there's more immediate access to interesting stuff from around the world than ever, most of it is still crap and Giant Robot is as relevant as ever. Not only do we share what we think is the most interesting, compelling, or just plain cool aspects of Asian pop culture, but we also shape it and affect how readers in America and other countries perceive Asian, Asian American, independent, and underdog culture. Our distinctive editorial voice and clear sense of purpose has earned a loyal readership that includes academics and punks; old-school Asian activists and new-school bloggers; art fans, moviegoers, music listeners, comic readers, and food fiends; and Asians and non-Asians alike. And as the publication has evolved into a glossy magazine with a dedicated national following (with international distribution as well), so has the company's business model. The unprofitable process of magazine publishing was bolstered with a series of like-minded retail outlets. After offering mail order and online sales, we went on to open locations in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York City. Our galleries and shops have not only provided a means of support for a horde of up-and-coming artists and indie businesses, but led the way for a generation of boutique/art gallery hybrids. THE MOMENT While diversification allowed Giant Robot to escape the fate suffered by many of our indie publishing peers in the second half of the '00s, 2009 was brutal. In addition to several distributors cutting out small press or folding altogether, paper has become more expensive and postage has skyrocketed exponentially. And while there has also been the support of loyal advertisers, the middle class of supporters has dropped, creating peaks and valleys in income that force us to live issue to issue. Complicating matters, store revenues and art show sales have suffered along with the economy, depriving the magazine of resources that allowed it to operate freely and thrive without the benefit or constraints of being part of a large publishing house. Reducing pages, going from bimonthly to quarterly, or becoming an online entity are not options, and our editorial and production staff of two full-timers and two part-timers (intact since issue 18) is already as lean as can be. And so, we are taking a series of actions with the intention of not only outlasting the economic downturn but becoming an even tighter operation with an improved publication. These steps include improving the content, explore printing and distribution options, and evolving with technology. We are also seeking help from friends. THE MESSAGE Although the idea of a Giant Robot Foundation is not new (a non-tax-deductible donation form has been included with subscription renewal notices for years now), this particular online campaign is. We believe that there are multiple generations artists, designers, bands, filmmakers, and travelers, as well as fans, students, and supporters of interesting culture who believe in what we do and want Giant Robot magazine to continue on its path without sacrificing quality, quantity, or independence. We have done the math, and an infusion of $60,000 (hopefully more) will ensure another year of full, unfettered operation with no strings attached to a shifting media paradigm, advertising climate, sketchy distributors, and the economy—each of which we are not ignoring but addressing straight-on. In concert with the other measures (not to mention the realignment and recovery of our shops), we feel that Giant Robot's future and its continuing impact of society will be secure. If you have been affected or inspired by Giant Robot—perhaps even featured in the pages of the magazine—please help however you can. All support, both through finances and spreading the word, will be appreciated and make a difference.

Long-term Poverty and Disability in Working-age Adults
Suggested Citation: She, P., and Livermore, G. (2006) Long-term Poverty and Disability Among Working-age Adults, Rehabilitation Research and Training Center on Employment Policy for Presons with Disabilities, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY.http://digitalcommons.ilr.cornell.edu/edicollect/1195
We use longitudinal data from the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) spanning the 1996 to 1999 period to estimate the prevalence of short and long-term poverty among working-age people with and without disabilities. Several alternative measures of disability are used, including measures of long-term disability. Depending on the disability measure used, annual poverty rates are two to five times higher among working-age people with disabilities compared to their counterparts without disabilities, with poverty rates highest among those with more severe and longer-term disabilities -- 1997 annual poverty rates ranged from 10 to 32 percent among people with disabilities, compared to six percent among those without disabilities. The prevalence of chronic (i.e., long-term) poverty is lower for all groups, but the prevalence of chronic poverty among those with disabilities relative to those without disabilities is much higher than the relative prevalence of short-term poverty, especially for those experiencing disability over a long period. At the extreme, those reporting work limitations for more than 36 months during the 48-month period were 14 times more likely to have incomes below the poverty line in all 48 months than those with no work limitation.
We also estimate disability prevalence among those in poverty and find that people with disabilities make up a very large share of the working-age poverty population, especially when long-term measures of poverty are used. People with disabilities represented about 47 percent of those in poverty in 1997 when an annual measure of poverty is used; when a longer-term poverty measure is used, 65 percent of those in poverty for at least 36 months of the 48-month period have a disability.
Despite the fact that disability is an extremely important risk factor for long-term poverty among working-age adults, it often receives little attention in the poverty literature and policy efforts to alleviate poverty. One reason may be that most statistics are based on short-term poverty and disability measures, which partially mask the strong relationship between long-term poverty and long-term disability. Another reason may be outdated perceptions of the relationship between disability and the ability to work.

Ronda Rousey Gets It From Her Mother
Fightland Blog
The story of Ronda Rousey isn't really about her beauty. If anything, her image is a smokescreen that slightly mollifies a fact that some fans of MMA are visibly shaken by: Women are extremely suited to fighting, and watching them compete can be just as compelling as watching men. The "fairer sex" can be athletic, effective, and devastating in combat sports. Also, in most ways that matter, women are probably tougher than we are.
I definitely got that feeling recently during a phone conversation with Ronda's mom, Dr. Ann Maria Rousey DeMars, who, apart from being a former world judo champion (who used to wake her daughter up to practice her now-signature armbars), a partner in a software company, and an author, and having several advanced degrees, is a solid charmer who gives her strong opinions quite freely. As our conversation progressed and she casually mentioned a judo world tournament that she was unable to compete in because she was too busy having a baby, I couldn't help but think that all men are pussies, that you aren't that tough unless you've lain down, passed another human being out of your body, and then fought at an elite level.
Still, when I asked DeMars whether her black belt meant more to her than her Ph.D. she said, "To me, the Ph.D. meant more, because — I used to tell Ronda all the time — I've got a gold medal from the world championships and a Ph.D., and one of them makes it possible for us to live in Santa Monica. And it's not the medal … I loved doing judo, it was great, but it was never going to be my entire life. Getting a sixth degree black belt was fun, but it's the difference between something that's your avocation and your vocation, I guess."
History repeats itself in what seems more like a spiral than a line, and it is shaping up to do so tomorrow night, when Dr. DeMars will watch her daughter raise the profile of women's MMA through the roof. Perhaps she'll notice parallels between Ronda's experience and her own, competitors in two related-but-not-identical sports that have been reluctant to give women competitors their due.
"In a lot of ways, the state of MMA now kind of reminds me of how judo was when I was competing," DeMars says. "It wasn't an Olympic sport, so we didn't get into the political B.S. of 'you've got to do this, you've got to do that.' In some ways we were under the radar of all the political nonsense, and because of that, a lot more we got to fight. We didn't have people coming around pretending that they were interested in us because it could help them get a shot at being an Olympic coach or whatever. People that came around were interested in helping us because we were serious athletes. There's that part of it, and there's also the part of trying to prove yourself when people say you shouldn't do it. Ronda has put it very tactfully: 'I'm highly motivated by spite.' When people say you can't do something, then you do."

Employment-related lawsuits are a growing concern for employers of all sizes, including home-based businesses.Employment Practices Liability (EPL) Insurance is a policy used to cover your risks due to some of the most common employment related lawsuits including:
Discrimination - The denial of equal treatment of employees who are members of a protected class.
Sexual harassment - Subjecting an employee to unwelcome sexual advances, obscene or offensive remarks, or the failure to stop such behavior.
EPL works to provide the necessary resources to defend your company against a lawsuit or to pay for a claim. Even in the best working environments there are many opportunities for an employee to become disgruntled resulting in a lawsuit or charge.
To best understand how to cover your EPL risks, it's important to know the potential source of concern:
Many business owners think of their employees as family but it only takes one infraction against complicated employment laws to trigger charges. Large and small companies are at risk. Employment law is complex and varies depending on the jurisdiction.
Be prepared. Well organized and credible employment documents can demonstrate fair treatment, deter litigation, ensure employee honesty, and, should litigation occur, they can demonstrate the employee's actions. You can also take control of the situation by making sure your business has adequate protection for this exposure to financial loss. Other types of business policies will protect your company from outsiders' claims, however, not claims from your own employees

The "kill switch," a system for remotely disabling smartphones and wiping their data, will become standard in 2015, according to a pledge backed by most of the mobile world's major players.
Apple, Google, Samsung and Microsoft, along with the five biggest cellular carriers in the United States, are among those that have signed on to a voluntary program announced Tuesday by the industry's largest trade group.
All smartphones manufactured for sale in the United States after July 2015 must have the technology, according to the program from CTIA-The Wireless Association.
Advocates say the feature would deter thieves from taking mobile devices by rendering phones useless while allowing people to protect personal information if their phone is lost or stolen. Its proponents include law enforcement officials concerned about the rising problem of smartphone theft.
"We appreciate the commitment made by these companies to protect wireless users in the event their smartphones are lost or stolen," said Steve Largent, president and CEO of CTIA. "This flexibility provides consumers with access to the best features and apps that fit their unique needs while protecting their smartphones and the valuable information they contain."
HTC, Motorola, Nokia are among the other smartphone makers who have signed up, along with carriers AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint and U.S. Cellular.
The feature would let a phone's owner erase contacts, photos, e-mail and other information, and lock the phone so it can't be used without a password.
The feature, which will be offered at no cost to consumers, also will prevent the phone from being reactivated without an authorized user's consent. The data would be retrievable if the owner recovers the phone.
Some phone makers already include the ability to remotely wipe phones. In Apple's latest mobile operating system, iOS 7, a feature called Activation Lock lets users prevent their phones from being reactivated even if they're reset.

JEZ Moxey today urged the revitalised Wolves fans to create a "sea of gold and black" and nudge the Molineux men closer to the play-offs finishing line against QPR on Saturday.
And the chief executive, who praised some of the "breathtaking" football produced against Blues on Sunday, expressed his pride not only in the team but also those long-suffering fans, lauding their recent support as "exemplary".
Anything other than victory in Saturday's nerve-jangling fixture will leave Wolves' top six aspirations in a precarious position bearing in mind the clutch of clubs emerging in their slipstream.
But Moxey, just a few months after being crowned villain of the peace following the FA Cup South Bank saga, believes a repeat of recent positivity from the stands will help roar the team to victory.
"Obviously a win on Saturday won't decide anything because there are so many other teams involved but it would get us that much closer," he said.
"It's a very important game, our last home league game of the season, and we want it to be a special occasion.
"So we're asking fans to wear their colours - we would love Molineux to be turned into a sea of gold and black.
"QPR are only bringing around 1,000 or so fans so I just hope we can sell as many tickets as possible and get a good attendance.
"But just as important is that the supporters who do come wear their colours and get behind the team just as they have been doing."
Moxey continued: "It's been a great season so far and I'm sure we'd all have taken the position we are in now at the start.
"I can't speak highly enough of the job that Mick (McCarthy), Taff (assistant Ian Evans) and the coaching staff have done, and the players have also been first class.
"We're very proud of them, and I'm also very proud of the supporters, I genuinely am.
"I think their passion has grown over the season and the support we have seen over the last few weeks has been exemplary.
"I think it shows that the fans, the players and the whole club have really come together and that is great to see and really helps the team.
"Of course it's not finished yet, hopefully there is a lot more to come and we can win these last two games and end up in the top six."
Even in defeat, Moxey believes Sunday's epic game with Blues offered major positives for the future.
"I thought it was an outstanding performance, the effort levels were superb.
"It was everything you want to see from a group of players and some of the football played in the first half was as good as I have seen here for a very long time, it was breathtaking.
"It's a shame we couldn't get the result that we all wanted but we still have a good chance of making the play-offs and there is great hope for the future."

Rio de Janeiro, Jan 11 (IANS) Brazil coach Tite will keep his job until at least the 2022 World Cup, regardless of the team's performance as hosts of this year's Copa America, the head of the country's football federation said.
"(Tite) has a contract until the World Cup in Qatar in 2022 and he will stay in the job until then," Federation President Rogerio Caboclo told reporters on Thursday, reports Xinhua news agency.
Tite, whose real name is Adenor Leonardo Bacchi, replaced Brazil's 1994 World Cup-winning captain Dunga as national coach in 2016 when the team was in disarray.
He led the five-time world champions to nine consecutive World Cup qualifying victories, earning the team favourite status before last year's edition of the showpiece tournament in Russia.
However, the Selecao failed to hit top form and were eliminated by Belgium in the quarterfinals.
Caboclo was speaking during a news conference to mark the start of ticket sales for the Copa America, which will be played in five Brazilian cities from June 14 to July 7.

It seems that now-a-days, you can't look any direction without seeing someone glued to their handheld touchscreens. People constantly tapping and typing away, chiseling and perfecting their online-life. It seems almost everyone is abandoning S.S. Reality and jumping headfirst into the cyber-sea. From Snap-Chat to Instagram to Twitter and Facebook, our lives are jam-packed with accounts and apps meant to keep us connected with everyone, all the time. It's becoming more and more clear though, these super-cites are doing more harm than good.
And though people's eyes glazing over as they zone-out can be annoying, it's also very rude. I've had conversations with people who will pick up their phones mid-sentence to answer a text or respond to a friend request. Is it that important? We've forgotten the meaning of quality time. Why even go out with your friends, if you're only going to spend the time on your phone? Wouldn't it be easier just to stay at home? Our digital-obsession is spiraling out of control.
Don't get me wrong though, I completely believe that these pages can help you stay involved in the daily lives of people you care about, but where do we cross the line? How much is too much? When did we let our desire to be in the know take over our lives? Why can't we put the phone down and pick up the conversation.
I digress, we're getting too caught up in the rush. It's like we're running in a rat-race against ourselves, it's something we can't win. It reminds me of the scene in Alice in Wonderland where the Do-Do has all the creatures run a caucus race. Are we the silly creatures running in circles against one-another? What will it take for us to log-out of our cyber-self, and check into reality. When was the last time that you had a meaningful conversation, without checking your phone? It's gotten so extreme that laws have been passed against using phones while driving. That means that it's become such an addiction to be on our phones, that we can't go places outside of our homes without toting around our second lives.
In closing, my point is that we're using social networks as a substitute for real confrontation and contact. We are creating another universe all together, one where there's no genuine transfer form human to human. Put down the phone for just one day and have a conversation instead, I promise it won't hurt.

March 26, 2019
My God, what sane person would ever open a business in a state like this? There's a feeling of dread that comes with livinf in CT now, and a sense of doom.
After extensive debate, the Connecticut Transportation Committee today voted along party lines to approve several tolling bills, which have sparked public interest and outcry across the state.
The Democratic party majority held enough of a lead to ensure passage against Committee Republicans.
The bills allow, in varying degrees, the Connecticut Department of Transportation to establish tolls on Connecticut's major interstates and Route 15.
Senate Bill 423 was amended to remove language creating a quasi-public transportation authority in response to public criticism. Instead, the bill would create a special department within the DOT and establish priority projects for the toll revenue to address.
A number of those projects involve train repairs to the New Haven line, the Danbury line and the Waterbury line with other repairs to some rail stations.
SB 423 would also impose a moratorium on toll rates for 10 years and specifies the toll revenue would be deposited directly into the lockbox.
"We have a desperate need now," said Sen. Carlo Leone, D-Stamford, chairman of the Transportation Committee. "We need to find a way to address our infrastructure."
"My goal is to move these bills forward, so we can have a robust debate," Leone told the committee.
Similar bills were passed out of committee during the 2018 legislative session but faced significant public opposition and a closely divided House and Senate. The tolling measures were never brought up for a vote in the House, despite promises by House Speaker Joe Aresimowicz.
But this year may prove dramatically different. Democrats hold significant majorities in the House and Senate and have made tolling one of their key legislative agenda items this year.
Gov. Ned Lamont also backs the tolling Connecticut's highways and reversed a key campaign promise that he would only seek to toll large trucks, by proposing legislation to toll all vehicles.
Lamont also proposed freezing the vehicle sales tax revenue transfer to the Special Transportation Fund as part of his budget which will leave the fund bankrupt by 2022.
Rep. Laura Devlin, R-Fairfield, questioned whether lawmakers could restrain themselves from taking money from the STF through either sweeps or diversions as the legislature has in the past to fill budget gaps.
"This is a real concern to the residents of Connecticut," Devlin said. "This has strong bipartisan opposition."
Rep. Gail Lavielle, R-Wilton, said it would be "irresponsible" to vote on something without specifics such as where the tolls will be, how much they will cost and how much revenue it will raise and said DOT would be able to raise rates without legislative approval.
"I find that difficult to accept," Lavielle said. "If I'm going to vote on something that will cost my constituents money… I need to know the answers to these questions."
Leone said the tolls must be legislatively approved in order to be considered by the federal government.
Rep. Travis Simms, D-Norwalk, said he represents working people who are struggling to make ends meet. "I think by putting tolls in the state it will have a huge impact on my constituents," Simms said.
Simms said he would vote to pass tolls out of committee, but "I will reserve my right to vote 'No' on my final vote."
Democrats pointed out that Jim Smith and Bob Patricelli, chairs of the Commission on Fiscal Stability and Economic Growth, also proposed tolls as part of their recommendations to solve Connecticut's on-going fiscal problems.
Sen. Tony Hwang, R-Fairfield, said the state should consider re-opening the SEBAC agreement and adjust state employee pensions and benefits — which was also proposed by Smith and Patricelli's commission — in order to save money before imposing tolls on Connecticut residents.
Leone said Republicans have not put forward any alternatives to tolls, which sparked House Miniority Leader Themis Klarides to appear before the Transportation Committee and lambast Leone.
"Scare tactics and untruths are not what this building is about," Klarides said. "To say there has not been any alternatives is not true and disrespectful."
Leone said the Republicans' Prioritize Progress plan has not come before the Transportation Committee. Klarides pointed out Republicans have held numerous press conferences on the subject.
The Committee also passed House Bills 7280 and 7202. The bills will now progress to the House and Senate for debate.
The March 6 public hearing was packed with both politicians, members of the public and construction union members voicing their opposition or support for the tolling measures.
Written testimony submitted to the Transportation Committee on the day of the public hearing was extensive.
Traffic numbers from the Connecticut Department of Transportation show a steep drop-off in people traveling on Connecticut's highways in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the closure of nonessential businesses by the governor. The number of vehicles traveling along I-84, I-91 and I-95 at particular points dropped by as much ...
Former Vermont Commissioner of Environmental Conservation and consultant for the Center for Climate Strategies in Washington D.C.

Did Dan Malloy really move to New Jersey last Monday?
March 23, 2019
count this couple as one forced to leave a state we once loved.
We spent considerable time exploring options with pending retirement and staying in CT moved further down
the list as our check list of needs and desires was completed. Oh, and BTW, the housing market in CT is awful.
We've not been able to get a decent offer on our CT home since Jan. 2017, so we still continue to get taxed by CT.
We made a great decision to move to GA and that was prior to the last election and the nonsense going on in
Hartford currently. Can you put a tax on volume of air consumed per day?
No economy can survive on services alone. Manufacturing has left, as has Insurance and Banking. Government, medical, education
along with fast food and retail are all that's left. We spend huge to "educate" our children only to see them flee the state for jobs elsewhere.
Where is the ROI in that? You need a serious, complete revamping of the budget, spending and revenue structure in CT which
realistically reflects the financial limits of the State.
I was born in New Haven and spent a total of 64 of my 73 years living in Ct. We've lived in Tn, Il and Ga for the balance.
Our 2017 move, and last, was a painful decision but one mandated by the long record of mismanagement of Ct.
Our only retirement choice was to leave.
Wake up politicians, Democrats, Republicans and Rhinos alike. Rome is failing …….. read your history.
March 23, 2019
Gee what a surprise. Elect Lamont and give the Dems back both chambers in the legislature and what did we get.? The great onrush of taxes on just about everything you can imagine. I have not heard a single thing about how the state can cut spending on anything. Why is all current spending practically guaranteed to continue indefinitely? Why are all proposals ( haven't seen any lately) to cut spending regarded by the protect interests as "devasting and catastrophic?" I'll probably be the only senior citizen left in Conn. I have to go to Fla to see all my friends!!!!!!!
March 22, 2019
I agree with tolls but only at the borders. I traveled home from Delaware in a duly Pickup Truck and had to pay $27.00 for the Jersey Turnpike and $42.00 to cross the George Washington Bridge into CT. If you want to work in NY for the big bucks, pay the tolls. I also think we need to stop subsidizing the train for the people who do the same. Maybe if they stopped this jobs would come to CT. I also think that all the rich people with boats and yachts should pay property tax on them, I have to pay on my car and camper. And how about the rich paying a noise tax on their private helicopters and planes as they ruin our peaceful time we get to relax in our taxed back yards.
March 21, 2019
Another lying politician…seems like a trend
March 21, 2019
Pretty soon nobody will be able to afford living in Ct. GREAT JOB GREEDY POLITICIANS. HOw about giving people like hard working CNA's a raise. The state refuses to pay homecare workers a fair wage. BUT THEY CONTINUE TO FILL THERE POCKETS!
March 21, 2019
I agree with tolls on some level if the money goes where It needs to be BUT I don't believe it will, need to figure out a way to make a better budget and a stronger future plan. If we don't we'll end up just like the south when the textiles moved out of state…a poor broke state
March 21, 2019
The big trucking company's are just going to pass the expense on to the consumer!! (Us)
The whole thing sucks for the middle class people who are just trying to make ends meet.
I can't wait to retire and move out of CT.
March 21, 2019
If taxing your way to prosperity worked, more states would have done it. This is whistling in the graveyard. And delaying a remedy. The tolls will also be like blood clots to the state's econkmy.
March 20, 2019
ass hole lamont
March 20, 2019
Another reason for people and businesses to leave. Our property taxes keep going up and same with Income Taxes. Spending must go down and so must pensions. I am OK with tolls on the big 18 wheelers that are hard on the highways. Give the citizens a break. Otherwise more of us will leave.
March 23, 2019
yep, tax the big trucks you idiot and things will cost more. how is that giving the citizens a break?

Hi Everyone! Are you ever struggling with how to keep your lunches fast, easy and healthy? Whether you are working or stay at home, we all have very busy days and it's hard to keep our healthy diet on track. I'm a stay at home mom. Most of my days consist of errands, chores and driving my two kids to and from school and activities. I usually grab fast food or definitely make very unhealthy choices once I get home. I really needed to get creative! I wanted filling and flavorful options with lots of veggies! I try to avoid gluten and dairy, so most of my recipes don't have bread or cheese.
In the past, I have tried other weekly lunch prep ideas and they didn't entirely work for me. I tried preparing my lunches in individual plastic containers but I didn't like having my ingredients mixed together. I'm not really a fan of mason jar salads because its hard to eat out of the jar; while you can put pour the salad out onto a plate, it's an extra step that I don't like. So, I created this awesome idea of an At Home Salad Bar! You can cut and prep ahead of time, it's personalized daily and whether you stay at home or work you can have fresh salads everyday on a plate or put it in a container to take out with you.
These are the ingredients for my Mediterranean Salad:
1-2 containers of Baby Spinach
1 container of whole Cherry Tomatoes
1 can Garbanzo Beans
1 jar whole Kalamata Olives
3 cucumbers, diced
1-2 containers of crumbled Feta Cheese
I had bought this veggie try from Pampered Chef a long time ago but here are some links to containers that will also work.
I hope this method works for you as much as it has worked for me! Look at how delicious this looks! Yum yum!

Middleweight Nate Marquardt woke up on weigh-in day with some pretty good news: He didn't have to cut weight. He was 186 pounds.
The perennial contender went on to dominate Dan Miller this past Saturday at UFC 128, and he did it lean and mean.
He's now refined his diet to the point at which heavy weight cuts could be a thing of the past. It also means he is in range of the welterweight division with a weight cut, and following his unanimous-decision victory over Miller, he's open to both weight classes.
"I just chose that I needed to be at 190 pounds walking around so I could make 170," Marquardt (31-10-2 MMA, 10-4 UFC) told MMAjunkie Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio) on Monday.
Whether he decides to stay at middleweight or move down a weight class depends on the opportunities he's presented by the UFC. As of Monday, he had yet to inform officials of his decision formally, so he's waiting to hear what they have to say.
Plenty of potential opponents exist in both divisions. But there are some good reasons to remain at middleweight if the UFC tells him to stay put.
First, there's revenge. He'd like to get back losses to Chael Sonnen and kingpin Anderson Silva. The former bested him on points at UFC 109 in a No. 1 contender's bout. And the champ? Well, let's just say things didn't go too well when they met at UFC 73.
Second is a chance to shut someone's mouth – and what many fans might call a goodwill gesture.
"The fight that everyone keeps bringing up lately is Michael Bisping, and I think that would be a great fight," Marquardt said. "I think he's a very high-profile fighter, and he's a big name and has a big mouth to go with it. I think that would be an exciting fight."
Then again, everybody and his mother is calling out Bisping, who recently was docked a discretionary bonus by UFC president Dana White for spitting at Jorge Rivera's cornerman following his win at UFC 127.
So Marquardt may have to take a number and get in line.
What would he choose?
"If they give me a decision, I don't know," Marquardt said. "It would depend on the opponent. I think there's definitely fights I want at 185. But at the same time, if my body feels great at 170, that's where I'm going to get the title at.
"Either way, I'm excited. I think I have a lot of options, and if I don't feel good at 170, I believe I can get the title at 185. I've fought the top guys and done well with everybody. Not only that, I felt great on Saturday night."

A Review of Merger and Acquisition Wave Literature: Proposing Future Research in the Restaurant Industry
Program Web Address
The purpose of this study is to identify research trends in Merger and Acquisition waves in the restaurant industry and propose future research directions by thoroughly reviewing existing Merger and Acquisition related literature. Merger and Acquisition has been extensively used as a strategic management tool for fast growth in the restaurant industry. However, there has been a very limited amount of literature that focuses on Merger & Acquisition in the restaurant industry. Particular, no known study has been identified that examined M&A wave and its determinants. A good understanding of determinants of M&A wave will help practitioners identify important factors that should be considered before making M&A decisions and predict the optimal timing for successful M&A transactions. This study examined literature on six U.S M&A waves and their determinants and summarized main explanatory factors examined, statistical methods, and theoretical frameworks. Inclusion of unique macroeconomic factors of the restaurant industry and the use of factor analysis are suggested for future research.

The Gulmohar Sports-cum-Community Centre has its own unique history. It was on March 7, 1982, that a Sponsoring Committee for the Centre was set up with three representatives from each of the four parent house building cooperative societies - Delhi Union of Journalists Co-op. House Building Society Ltd., Times of India Officers' Cooperative Housing Society Ltd., PTI Employees Cooperative House Building Society Ltd. and Press Association Cooperative Housing Society Ltd. When the Centre approached the DDA for allotment of land, the DDA made it mandatory that only the four societies were entitled to take allotment at a nominal price.
The DDA wrote that the club land "shall exclusively vest jointly with the Gulmohar Housing Coops (though) the job of construction, development, control, finance and management of the premises shall be undertaken by the Centre as per the rules/regulations and Memorandum of Association of the Centre. So the DDA leased the one acre land to the four societies, and the Sponsoring Committee entrusted to the Centre, the job of building the centre.
The DDA also accepted the four housing societies' request for the allotment of the adjoining three acre land for playing ground and sports activities. The Centre was inaugurated by then Vice-President of India R. Venkataraman on October 5, 1986. Having developed the basic infrastructure over a span of ten years, the Centre decided to add a Swimming Pool for its members. The swimming pool was inaugurated by then Vice-President of India Krishankant on May 9, 1998. In the course of time, Gulmohar Centre has become one of the leading recreation hub in the neighbourhood where members and their guests can avail of modern facilities like a well-equipped gym, newly-renovated swimming pool, card room, multi-activity room, a central courtyard, library and reading room.
A number of sports activities like tennis, badminton, basketball, cricket and football and indoor games like table tennis, chess and carom are also popular with the members. A lush green lawn, flowering plants, shrubs and a newly-constructed boundary wall, a logo to give a unique identity to the Centre have added to the overall aesthetic appeal. There is also a children's corner and jogging track. The Centre's Constitution provides for representation of four promoter societies in the Managing Committee.

Office of Surface Mining Comment Collection Meeting
Those planning to go to the Office of Surface Mining's meeting this afternoon in Craig won't be given an opportunity to comment on an open microphone. Instead, those that show up will be able to talk to individual representatives on a more intimate level, about the issues surrounding ColoWyo Mine. There will be stations residents can visit to submit their comments, which the OSM will use in their Environmental Assessment of the South Taylor Pit. A federal judge has ordered the office to complete the assessment within 120 days of his ruling, or he has threatened to pull the permit for the pit. That would leave 220 employees without jobs, and the local annual economy would take a roughly $200 million hit. Public comments are due by Monday.

Yamaha's dynamic-handling, naked super-weapon has broadened its smug grin even further for 2016 as the all-conquering MT-09 gets a handful of tweaks for the new season. A couple of new colours, including the Night Fluo look which is bound to divide opinion, plus the three-stage traction control as seen on the recently released XSR900 and a little update to the engine mapping.
At £7349, the new MT-09 is surely one of the best value motorcycle on the market today. It won't be in UK dealerships until the middle of March but Bike Social's Michael Mann has been out on the Spanish roads near Benidorm at the world press launch to see if the upgrade(s) have improved the already incredible machine.
The 847cc triple was introduced in September 2013 as the first model in Yamaha's MT range and it took the motorcycling world by storm despite a fuelling issue resulting in its throttle response feeling a little snatchy. 20,000 sales over the last couple of years certainly represents that the naked supermoto-style MT-09 has become a firm favourite. Its power, torque, agility, not to mention highly attractive price point have created a winning combination.
So, what's new? Not a lot really. There's a couple of tweaks and some new colours though the MT-09 is not Euro 4 compliant, unlike the Sport Heritage version, XSR900, which, due to its revised geometry (i.e. seat height) means it is a new model instead of an update or revision to an existing version.
The engine mapping has been refined to iron out any over-the-top agression with Yamaha's D-Mode (Riding Modes) and its model-specific settings. Standard mode is still surrounded by B and A. Standard and A modes deliver the full 113.5bhp while B is about 3bhp down because the engine doesn't use the full rev range in this mode. The differences noticeable while riding relate to the way in which those horses are delivered, with A once again being sharper to respond and super sensitive to the slightest movement on and off the gas. Give it a fist full and the front wheel is guaranteed to loose contact with the tarmac but the all-new traction control will preserve the rubber on the rear…as well as you pride. Modes can be switched on the fly using the rather obvious button on the right-side of the handlebar and ensuring the throttle is closed momentarily. B Mode is no wimpy option though, there's still plenty of torque and power here handy for road surfaces with less grip or when the tyres are cold. Take my advice and leave it it Standard mode to begin with if you're less experienced or wish to keep your licence.
One of the keys to the MT-09's success and ability is the power-to-weight ratio and bucket load of torque all packed into a terrific chassis. A relatively short wheelbase and upright riding position with emphasis on weight forward, supermoto-style, are rewarding when hustling around the faster turns. High, wide handlebars invite counter steering which gets the front end turned quicker and earlier. The 09 grips well thanks to its sporty Bridgestone Battlax S20 tyres and well balanced chassis. Some of the dustier mountain roads resulted in, or even encouraged, 'traction issues' when rolling on the throttle out of a tighter corner, interesting for the more adrenaline focussed rider but also a quick reminder of the bike's torque. Nevertheless, the all-new traction control keeps everything under control.
The 3-stage traction control is the main new feature for the 2016 model. Operated via a vertical spring-switch on the left-side handlebar the system can be flicked between stage 1 for minimal intervention and 2 for maximum. To turn TC off requires the bike to be stationary. The quirkily-shaped yet fully digital instrument panel displays this information right in the centre of the screen adjacent to the riding mode. The position of the display hasn't changed and nor has the riding position so one observation from the original MT-09 was that when in a slightly more forward riding position, the display is a little tricky to read as it's not as naturally in your eye-line as you'd expect. Not a deal-breaker but worth noting.
Stability under braking was never the original MT-09's strongest point with the dip of the front forks verses the power of the engine acting like a see-saw effect but with the both front and rear adjustable suspension (front forks and rear monoshock both for rebound and preload) stiffened up from its standard settings meant the bike coped really well with the smoother flowing turns. If this is your style of riding then I would recommend making the bike stiffer. It's almost as agile as a superbike in the corners and at 191kg wet it would prove stiff competition if up against any sub-1,000cc sports bike either off-the-line or over the 60 miles of Spanish roads we faced today.
The three-cylinder 847cc motor is packed full of character, it's lively, desperate for revs and ready to leap into action, pulling at the leash. Overtaking is a doddle in any gear and even in top pulling 3000rpm it will get the job done, though really you ought to knock it down a couple of gears to hear the triple-cylinder sing its aggressive song from the low-slung exhaust. It'll pull and pull all the way to 11,300rpm redline, making its maximum torque at 8,500rpm but spreading it well across the range. Maximum bhp meanwhile is at 10,000rpm. All-in-all the Yamaha responds so well to an aggressive or should we say enthusiastic riding style. It's certainly an attention grabber and one of the two new colours will ad to that; Night Fluo it's called which is available on several of the other MT models. The light matt grey with fluorescent detailing will divide opinion like Marmite I suspect. Yet, because the MT-09 is an extrovert the Lava Red option borrowed form the Tracer looks great but is perhaps a little grown-up for the ostentatious street bike!
The 298mm dual disc front brake is naturally ABS-assisted such are the rules these days and they are more than capable at scrubbing off the speed effectively and stably though the engine braking characteristics of the tripe are also effective.
Press launches aren't usually true representations of real-world riding particularly when it comes to fuel economy figures. Having re-set the instrument panel on leaving the hotel, by the end of the ride it read 6.7 litres/100km which is the equivalent of 42 mpg. Not too shabby for a bike with such performance and that all important fun-factor.
I most certainly could live with an MT-09, there's no wonder it's such a big hit and if this is what the 847cc/113.5bhp version of a Yamaha MT model can do then heaven help us when we get the keys to an MT-10 and its 998cc/158.4bhp!

A man wakes up on a sidewalk, lost and confused. He then takes a journey back to a place he once called home. We review the short film by Christopher Fox – Triangle.
I like films that are ambiguous. They allow for the audience to come up with their own conclusions regarding what they have just watched, which in turn can be the catalyst for some really interesting conversations and debates. Triangle is, for the most part, ambiguous.
The short film, by director Christopher Fox, opens up with a man lying on the side of a road. He looks a little confused as to why he is there and, after managing to get to his feet, he starts to walk. His journey takes the man, who is named Dave, through a park and an old structure, before he ends up at the home belonging to an old woman.
To be honest, for the first five minutes, whist Dave's walk was taking place, I had no idea what the film was actually about. It wasn't until the very last scene that all became clear – a scene that was reminiscent of Captain America meeting up with an older Peggy Carter.
You see, Dave was actually a pilot who, along with four other men, went missing in 1945 whilst flying over the Bermuda Triangle. He has found himself transported in time, seventy two years into the future. With nowhere to go, he seeks out his partner, who has now grew old.
As stated above, the film was directed by Christopher Fox, who also wrote and lensed the short. Triangle is great to look at. Fox has done a great job of making Triangle look polished and somewhat dreamy in it's visuals. The audio is also nice and, seeing that Fox is also from a sound department background, it's professional and crisp.
I did have a few issues with the film, but not huge ones. The first half of the film is dialogue-free and is just Dave walking around. Whilst it looks nice, I do feel it went on a little too long. A quick trim would have made the short feel more punchy. It would have also have worked better if his walk was around a built up city, to show Dave staring at these "new" and incredible-looking structures in awe and confusion. It would have helped the "fish out of water" aspect ten-fold, I feel.
Still, Triangle is an interesting short film that will certainly get people talking, and isn't that the point of art? Well done to the cast and crew.

Those dreaded words: "writer's block."
If you are a blogger, writer, author, poet, or college student, those two words have attacked you. It's a scary feeling. The words that are n your head will not get out of you. You can do all sorts of things to break it; anything from praying to any deity you would like to (I often pray to the word gods or the blogging gods) but often times that doesn't always fix the problem. The only problem that is going on is a word blockage problem. Anyone who uses words in a written form knows this problem. But, for every problem, there is an opposite and equal solution. So, here are a few tried and true solutions to breaking through writer's block.
- Take a nap – This sounds like procrastination but trust me on this, it's not. Often times, the words will not come out of your head because your brain is on empty. Have you ever tried to walk around the block after shopping for eight hours? I don't think so. A nap will rest your brain and it might help get those words start to flow again.
- Take a break – Again, this sounds like procrastination but it's not. If you have a fever, do you go to school? If you have a broken leg, do you try to run the Boston Marathon? No, you take a break. Sometimes overworking the brain will cause a breakdown and 404 will show up. Step away from the computer, grab a pair of headphones and go for a walk around the block. Jam out to some music and let your brain just relax. It might just help you!
- Go get inspired – This is simple yet a tricky task to balance. If you blog about food, go watch a cooking show (or two) but do not spend the next three weeks watching cooking shows. Writing the next science masterpiece? Watch some Star Trek (movie or a couple of shows) but do not watch all of the Original Series episodes and then watch the first six movies. The point of this solution is to get inspired, not glued to the couch. Occasionally, the brain needs to be reminded of the subject matter. So, go remind it, not distract it.
- Do a timed free write – If the writing juices are still running a little dry, try some freewriting. What is freewriting? Well, it is a writing exercise where you write for a short period of time and you ignore your inner critic and editor. You just let the words flow. It's not a 'usable' piece of writing – as in, you can't just do a free write and publish it on your blog for your weekly post. But it will start to break the dam down and get some words out of your head; and, you might get an idea from the free write. So try to write for a solid five minutes and see where your brain goes.
- Skip ahead – While this might be aimed more toward the novel or storytellers, this can apply to the bloggers and article writers. If you are stuck on something, try something else. This might be writing whatever you are working on in another point of view or change up the writing program you are working with. If that isn't working for you, skip that post (or chapter) and write that article or blog post that you really want to write. If your passion isn't in it, then your brain won't go along for the ride. If your brain doesn't go for the ride, then your readers won't want to tag along as well. You may never know, skipping might help you in the long run!
- Scream – Go ahead, just let it out. (Unless you live with others or in an apartment building.) Screaming the stress away might open the floodgates to get the words going. Then again, just screaming might help you feel better. Just try to make sure you are alone.
- Eliminate all distractions – Now, if you haven't already done this, do it now. Stop tweeting. Stop checking your email. Stop watching cat videos (I know they are awesome but c'mon!) Exit out of Facebook. Stop watching reruns of that show on the USA network. Unplug the internet. Unplug the TV. FOCUS! This is what you need to do. You need to focus and get words on the page. I would guess that at least 10% of writer's block problems are just the problem of distractions (I'm looking at you college kid!)
- Challenge yourself to a 'writing challenge' – What's this? Well, in layman terms, it is a challenge of writing that you create. Google the terms and you will have a lot of articles and a lot of lists of prompts. There are monthly, weekly, or even daily prompts that you try to write about and work with. If you are lost and don't really have an idea on where to go with your writing, this will definitely help. It's even better when you join a group; it will keep you accountable for getting stuff done!
- WRITE – Yes, you read that right. Just write. Get words on the page. Ever heard of NaNoWriMo? That is the National Novel Writing Month, and you know what they are all about? Getting 50,000 words down on the page. Do they have to be the best? No! But the point is to get those words down on that page. It's easier to fix a bad page of writing rather than trying to fix a blank page. So just write that rough draft of that blog post. Get those words down and fix them later. You'll thank me later!
Getting over writer's block is a challenge and it is something you have to work on. It might not happen overnight, but if you keep chipping away from that block, you just might clear it. But if you actually have a large metal box called 'writer', please, just pick it up and move it. That might solve all the problems you are having!

Fans Will Not Be Happy About This Male R&B Singer Calling Out Beyoncé, SZA And Cardi B
"Stop using that f**king pain to make it OK to say some bullsh** on your record and get nominated for a Grammy..."
Rumors of discontentment between J. Cole and Kanye West spurred almost two years ago when the former dropped a shot-loaded "False Prophets" freestyle—but they were just that: rumors.
Charlamagne Tha God's recent reveal might change that status from rumor to real, though, after he claims Kanye accused the Roc Nation prodigy of dissing him and his wife, Kim Kardashian.
In The Breakfast Club's segmental "Rumor Report," the radio trio discussed Cole's forthcoming K.O.D. album dropping on Friday (April 20) and some of the theories surrounding it. The famously controversial voice of the radio crew shared a little more than a theory regarding Cole and Yeezy, though.
"Yesterday when I was talking to 'Ye we had a conversation about J. Cole," Charlamagne said before chuckling at what was to come next. "Remember when J. Cole put out the 'False Prophets' record? And he said that he feels like J. Cole's always dissing him in records."
Uncle Charla's testimony is pretty credible considering that he and Yeezy were recently spotted leaving a private meeting together. He added that the GOOD Music founder also brought Cole's "No Role Modelz" hit, where he raps about his rejection of reality TV women, into the conversation.
"He was like, 'Who else out here in love with people from reality shows like me?'" he continued. "So, that was just an interesting thing."
He did, however, clarify that 'Ye wasn't addressing the alleged disses with malice, though. He even laughed about it, Charlamagne said.
No beef here, guys.
Listen to his Yeezy fun fact below.

Early Years
Armistead Mason Dobie was born on April 15, 1881, in Norfolk and was the son of Margaret Kearns Cooke Dobie and Richard Augustus Dobie, a Confederate veteran, merchant, and superintendent of Norfolk schools from 1896 to 1922. Dobie entered the University of Virginia in 1898. As an undergraduate he became a member of Phi Beta Kappa and editor of the student literary publication, the University of Virginia Magazine. He received a BA in 1901, an MA in 1902, and an LLB in 1904. Dobie practiced law for three years in Saint Louis, Missouri, and then in 1907 returned to the University of Virginia as a member of the law faculty. He was promoted to full professor in 1909.
At the University of Virginia
Appointed dean of the law school in 1932, Dobie continued to write and to teach. After his 1939 appointment to the federal bench, he continued to lecture, including a return to Charlottesville to give the 1951 William H. White Lectures, which detailed the careers of Virginia's federal district judges before the American Civil War (1861–1865). Although possessed of a rather shrill voice, Dobie was a preternaturally talented speaker, even something of a showman. His so-called Dobie lecture, an Easter-week gathering for which students dressed up and brought dates, was legendary, and he often spoke at football pep rallies. Wit, wordplay, and trademark colloquialisms distinguished every Dobie talk. For most of his life Dobie drew energy from other people and enjoyed sharing his many passions with friends. He was an epicure, an oenophile (a connoisseur of wine), a fan of literature and classical music, an avid follower of baseball and the stock market, and a keen player of bridge and bettor on horses.
Federal Judge
Later Years
A long, difficult, and publicly unacknowledged battle with depression led Dobie to retire from the bench on February 1, 1956. Although he had hoped to continue working some after he retired, he never returned to court, and he could no longer maintain his reputation as a host and raconteur. Dobie remained a bachelor until age seventy-seven, when he married his longtime friend Rita Elizabeth McKenney in Charlottesville on July 18, 1958. Dobie died in a Charlottesville hospital on August 7, 1962, and was buried in the University of Virginia Cemetery. In 1970 the University of Virginia established an endowed professorship in law in his name.
