Comparing productivity vs hours worked is an interesting way to look at what's really going on. Often, we get stuck in a trend of thinking the time is what matters instead of the actual results produced.
It's hard, in a society that values time by assigning a dollar figure, to realize hours worked don't make you productive. The one thing every human being on the face of the planet gets is 24 hours per day. That doesn't change no matter what, but what you do with those hours can change your life dramatically!
I am not going to get into how productive you are after working 50 hours or after working 8 hours in a day. That would require a far more scientific brain than mine and what you think is work I may define as just being busy.
Instead, I want to look at how you can get the most out of every hour of your day, when it comes to your productive hours. I also want to look at how society defines productivity compared to how we should be defining it. No more delay, let's get right into it.
The Hourly Wage Paradigm
I heard it growing up and still as an adult from so many family members, friends and co-workers; "if you pay me INSTERT DOLLAR AMOUNT per hour, you're going to get INSERT SAME DOLLAR AMOUNT of work per hour."
This is simply an excuse to be LAZY!
Yes, I just called out a large percentage of hourly workers and I was probably guilty of this for many years, myself. Heck, it was preached to me by so many people I knew that it would have been hard not to fall into this trap.
I have long been an advocate for ditching hourly wages and paying based on production. Of course, in my model, I would also be sending workers home after they hit their quota or the day, even if they only worked for four or six hours.
The hourly wage paradigm is simply a trap. You agree to be paid a certain amount per hour, so now you're literally trading away some of those 24 hours you get in a day for a paycheck. There's nothing wrong with this from the employee side of thing, but business owners should never pay hourly, if they can avoid it…IMHO.
Too many people think punching a clock for eight hours a day means they were productive. Why do you think so many of these same people come home after a "long" day of work only to plop down on the couch for their four hour binge watching of shows before passing out and repeating everything over again the next day?
Understanding what Productivity is, Really
Real productivity breeds confidence, energy, great sleep and even passion. Real productivity isn't found only when you've punched a time clock or shown up for work. While our society would love for you to think productivity equals being busy, this is simply not true.
Productivity, at the core produces. What it produces is completely up to you. Writing this blog post right now is a very productive thing for me to do. It's producing content for my blog. However, it's only one form of productivity.
Along with producing at work, you need to be producing at home, in your relationships and in every other aspect of your life. Here are a few examples of productivity outside the job:
- Hugging your Children – Produces the feeling of being loved in your children and helps you develop intimacy with them.
- Cooking a meal – Produces food for your family.
- Reading a book, even fiction – Produces relaxation, learning and many other things.
- Exercising – Produces better health, lower stress and even weight loss.
- Meditation – Produces relaxation, calmness and a feeling of being centered.
- Prayer – Produces a deeper connection with God and better spiritual health.
- Playing with your Children – Produces learning for your children and the opportunity to share in a relationship with them.
- Dating your Spouse – Produces feelings of love, enjoyment and a connection with the most important person on the face of the earth for you.
So many other examples of productivity can be found outside of the workplace. Society would like you to work 12+ hours a day and spend your entire life giving up time for money. That's not a good way to live and changing your definition of productivity is the first step in truly looking at the comparison of productivity vs. hours worked.
Hours Worked Only Matter When They Are Productive
Productivity means you have something to show for your work. When you put in the hours, there should be something to show. This doesn't have to relate to money, but often it does in the form of sales or profits.
You could have a list of great blog ideas to show for a brainstorming session or a new eBook you just wrote. Those are very productive things. Even if the hours worked produce minimal results, you're still being productive.
However, when the hours worked end up being 45 minutes playing on social media and 15 minutes of client calls or emails, you're just being lazy. This is often the case for employees that are going to get paid regardless of the actual product they produce. (I said often here, not always because I know there are some hourly and salary workers that produce like crazy.)
Finding Better Productivity by Shift away from an Hours Worked Focus
Do you work a job where you know you can get the entire day's work done in half the work day? Are you the type that will slack off so that you will get overtime and make more money?
This happens more often than managers and business owners think, but it can change. Tim Ferris touched on this just a little bit in the book 4 Hour Work Week when he talked about shifting from working in an office to working from home.
I propose something similar. If you can literally get your job done in half the work day or even three-quarters, why not try to see if your boss will let you do your job from home, assuming that's possible?
You can start by asking if you can test this out for one or two days a week. When it goes great and you're actually more productive, ask for those other three days. Now, you work from home and you can cut those hours from 40, 50 or even 60+ down to the hours you actually need to perform your job.
When we shift our focus from the hours worked to the actual product of our work, we usually realize how much time we waste. There have been days when my wife and I may wake up later than planned and it looks like I am working basically all day long to get things done. However, when you break it down, it doesn't look the same. Here's how this type of day goes.
Wake up late…maybe 9am
Walk the dogs, get ready for the day and get in my morning routine
Sneak in 45 to 60 minutes of work before preparing breakfast
Take about 90 minutes to prepare and eat breakfast with my wife
Grab another 3.5 hours of work before preparing lunch
Usually, on these days we take a long lunch break, so it's probably 2 hours to prepare and eat lunch
Get another 3 to 4 hours of work done before preparing dinner
Take about 2 hours to prepare and eat dinner
Maybe finish up some work for an hour at most
Take the rest of the night off
Even though it seems like I am working all day, the hours worked only come out to about 8.5 to 10 on this type of day. When I am up later than planned, I take longer breaks for meals and to get some time with my wife because I know the end of the day isn't going to leave as much time for us before bed.
Strangely enough, these days end up being some of my most productive, too. I used to give up on the day when I would wake up later than I wanted, especially if it was a few hours later, but now, I just go with it and it pushes me to be more productive.
It's almost like I know my back is against the wall, so the productivity goes up.
Final Thoughts about Productivity vs. Hours Worked
Productivity has to be redefined if you want to truly become a productive person. Make sure you're not just productive at work, either. Your family, your friends, your hobbies, your church and any other commitments in your life depend on you to be firing on all the productivity cylinders. You don't get to relax your productivity just because your job work is done for the day.
While you may think putting in the hours makes you productive, it doesn't. It comes down to whether you'd like to be someone that works harder or someone that works smarter. Often, for those early on in business, combining working smarter with putting in the time helps to speed up the process.
What do you think? Are you productive just because your paycheck shows you worked 45 or 50 hours for the week? Does it take more than just hours worked to truly be productive? Answer below in the comments.

One of the most unnoticed and overlooked fact is that only one out of 5,000 inventions get acknowledged as well as recognized. So, if you have an idea or a new product that you think is unique, you should look for an experienced patent agent Canada and file the application in the right section. With so many new ideas coming up there needs a lot of planning, investing and patience to see whether the invention actually succeeds or not. Patent agents or agencies have considerable experience in this field and they know exactly what works.
Contacting an agent with good reputation is the best you can do as a common man. Finding spare time to file an application, visit the concerned office at regular intervals to know about the status of your application and then get rejected just because you were ignorant of which section you would have selected for your invention, is not what an inventor can afford. Go through the list of the patent agents in Canada and hire the services of the best patent agent Canada to save yourself from all the hassles of application and frustration of getting your application rejected just because there was a small error in the application form or process.
- Research and advance your idea
This is the step that you have already covered and that is the reason you are here. However, what is meant here is that you need to be sure about your idea that is well-developed and unique as well as it needs to be protected. Expert's opinion is that you should keep detailed record of your idea including the date. Connect with us on Facebook and see what others have to say about our work.
- Make it legal
If you contact patent agents in Canada you will understand how important it is to get your idea a legal protection especially if it is a unique one. You might get tempted to do it all on your own because the official website shows that you can file your application in few simple steps. Nowadays you can even use the online resource to file the application. Moreover, you should not forget that appointing a good patent agent Canada will not just ease off your entire work, but also enhance your chances of getting approved. Find us here.
- Prepare for the launch
Since you now know that your product is absolutely unique and safe from getting copied, it is time to prepare for the launch of your product. This requires a little bit of risk, but it saves you from lot of time, money and effort that you would be putting in to your premature design or vision. The launch will give you an idea through the response you get from the outside world and this will help you market your product in a full-fledged way.
- Market
Now, when initial preparation is done and you have a good response from users, investors and promoters, it is time to market your product or idea. Connect with us.

Brexit silence: May REFUSES to answer if Britain will be WORSE OFF with no deal
THERESA May has refused to say whether whether Britain would be worse off without a Brexit deal and whether the UK would be more powerful outside of the European Union.
The indecisive stance is likely to raise yet more fears among voters, politicians and businesses around Britain's future when it exits the bloc on March 29, 2019.
Britain has been in a race against time in its attempts to agree a post-Brexit trade deal with Brussels before an EU summit taking place on October 16.
But negotiations have stalled significantly, with the EU's chief negotiator Michel Barnier last week admitting that this deadline is being scrapped as just 80 percent of issues have been resolved, following talks with Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab.
Last week, the Government published advice on how people and businesses can plan for a no-deal Brexit following the breakdown in talks with Brussels.
This has led to increased fears that a deal will not be agreed at all before the UK leaves the EU in seven months' time.
In an interview with Sky News in South Africa, when asked if Britain would be worse off without a Brexit deal, Theresa May said: "What the Government is working for is to ensure that whatever the outcome of the negotiations, we make a success of leaving the European Union."
Pressed further on whether the UK would be more powerful when it leaves the European Union in March 2019, she would only say: "I think there are huge opportunities for the United Kingdom outside the European Union.
"If you just look at the trade issue: we do want a good trading relationship with the EU once we've left, but we also will have the opportunity to negotiate trade deals that are in our interests and in the interests of our bilateral partners, rather than in the interests of the European Union."
Brexit news: Theresa May refused to say whether Britain would be worse off without a Brexit deal
Mrs May also refused to say whether she would vote for Brexit in a new referendum because she doesn't answer "hypothetical questions".
She said: "That is a hypothetical question, and I don't answer hypothetical questions because we're not in the business of having - and it's very important this point - a second referendum on Brexit."
Mrs May was however more defiant when asked about a possible leadership challenge from Boris Johnson, insisting: "I am in this for the long term."
The Prime Minister was taking questions from reporters over the prospect of the former Foreign Secretary challenging her, who's leadership ambitions have been a constant source of speculation, especially since quitting his post follow the unveiling of Mrs May's Chequers plan last month.
Theresa May also also refused to say whether she should vote for Brexit in a second referendum
She said: "I've been asked before whether it's my intention to lead the Conservative Party into the next General Election, I answered that question before - I'm in this for the long term.
"What I'm focusing on doing is delivering what the British people want - the British people voted for us to leave the European Union and I and the Government will be delivering that.
"But what I'm also focused on doing is delivering on the domestic agenda which is of concern to people."
Mrs May was speaking during the first day of a three-day tour of sub-Saharan Africa, where she is setting out her ambition to use the Government's overseas aid budget to boost Britain's post-Brexit trade opportunities with fast-growing African nations.
Theresa May was more defiant when asked about a possible leadership challenge from Boris Johnson
During a speech in Cape Town on Monday, the Prime Minister said she is "unashamed" in aiming to ensure that aid investment in Africa "works for the UK" after Brexit.
She also pledged an investment boost to the continent and announced plans to carry over an EU free trade agreement with six African nations post-Brexit.
Mrs May said: "I am unashamed about the need to ensure that our aid programme works for the UK.
"So today I am committing that our development spending will not only combat extreme poverty but at the same time tackle global challenges and support our own national interest.
"This will ensure that our investment in aid benefits us all, and is fully aligned with our wider national security priorities."

My Top 3 Priorities
- Advocate for a superior education for all types of learners. Support education options for students with learning differences or special needs, create a STEAM program.
- Create a district of national prominence. Design new and expand existing educational opportunities for teachers and students. Offer summer enrichment classes.
- Prepare kids for a local and global marketplace. Utilize vocational, career/technical, and advanced education to ensure financial success after high school or college.
As a graduate of Ponderosa High School, and a resident of El Dorado County since 1976 I have a personal bond with this District and sincerely hope to be Elected into a position to influence its direction.
Education is my passion and understanding the needs of High School youth is my profession. As a Behavioral Therapist I spent six years working at La Sierra Community High School observing, assessing, and advocating for students with learning differences or special needs. I sat in on SST's, 504's, and IEP's contributing relevant information regarding home, school, and community issues. For over four years I worked in a Pediatrics Practice with youth and families in need of navigating diagnosis, prognosis and outcome. Currently I operate as a private practitioner working to find solutions for youth 10 to adult and their families. Additionally, I have served our community as a youth coach for 10 years, as a member of PTA, and on School Site Council.
Iam a wife, and a mother of three children two of whom graduated from Oak Ridge High and one who is a Junior. My son recently graduated from San Francisco State University, and I have a daughter who is a sophomore at Chapman University. I care deeply about the future of our youth and want to make sure our High School Board works toward creating a district of national prominence.
I am an inclusive leader and one who believes in collaboration, outreach, and recruitment as opposed to promoting from within. I support a sustainable educational experience which prepares kids for a global or local marketplace. By advising our district to create many more opportunities than are currently available, we can truly prepare students for lifelong success as fully functioning and contributing members of society. Please choose me for High School Board of Trustees on your 2016 Ballot.
Political Beliefs
I believe that education is the key to opening the door to a successful future. As a Board member, my goal is to create sustainable educational opportunities for all types of learners. For those who thrive in a global minded environment, I want to expand our Advanced Placement options. For our students who want to make a difference in the Science, Technology, Engineering, Art's and Mathematics, I want to establish a STEAM program. And for those who want to enjoy a main stream High School experience, I want to continue to support the variety of courses currently offered to our students and add more according to request. I will work to increase access to new technology and direct our district to update and improve our current technology. www.electdeloylink.com
For our many High School students who require an alternative way to develop well-rounded education rich in context but varied in content, I will support an AViD program, where students identify an academic path which provides meaning and purpose. Participating in CTE, ROP, or the Community College uses a combination of educational and practical experiences to prepare kids for a career field of self-fulfillment and monetary value. Students shouldn't simply be expected to learn "standards", they should be prepared for their education to lead them into a career. I would like to create a career center which is also a placement center for students who need to use work study as a part of their education.
Sustainable education for all types of learners requires abundant opportunities. Our district needs outreach. We need better relationships with Community Leaders, Business's, College Recruiters, Athletic Scouts, Politicians, Law Enforcement, and Districts outside our own to look to for mentoring purposes. We need to identify the youth at risk of not graduation or not fulfilling their standard A through G classes by the end of their sophomore year in order to guide them toward an alternative educational experience.

Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal uses Rocky DEM to optimize material charging into a blast furnace
Steel producer NSSMC uses Rocky DEM to optimize material charging process
Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corporation (NSSMC) wanted to understand and improve the difficult-to-observe process of material charging into a blast furnace, which converts iron ore and coke materials into pig iron. To accomplish this, they needed a way to cost-effectively reproduce the material shape, size distributions, and flow behavior of the process, and do so quickly enough to act upon the results.
NSSMC used Rocky DEM to:
- Accurately replicate the material size, shape, and flow behavior of their irregularly shaped coke and iron ore particles
- Solve multiple simulations quickly by processing simulations on multiple GPU cards
- Save time by making use of the Rocky Scheduler tool to run several cases in series
Discover how NSSMC:
- Evaluated the behavior of non-sphere-based, realistically shaped particles in a quantitative way
- Gained more insight into the angular particles' flow and packing behavior
- Saved experiment costs while ensuring more accurate results

Whether they are involved in athletics, band or cheerleading, Canal Winchester high school and middle school students currently are required to pay a $140 fee for each activity in which they participate.
Whether they are involved in athletics, band or cheerleading, Canal Winchester high school and middle school students currently are required to pay a $140 fee for each activity in which they participate.
If voters decide not to renew the school district's three-year, $6.4-million emergency levy on the May 3 ballot, that fee will increase to $300 per activity for the 2011-12 school year, to $450 for 2012-13 and to $600 for 2013-14.
The state's biennium budget is still the unknown factor, however. The increased activity fees were only part of a plan the Canal Winchester Board of Education approved last week that slices $37 million - and 49 jobs - from the district's budget.
Thus, as the school board continues to plan on how it will deal with pending state budget cuts, high school athletics director Kent Riggs said he doesn't know if the student activity fee will increase, regardless of whether the levy passes.
"I can't say what will happen if the levy is renewed," he said. "It's the board's decision, ultimately. The last I heard, they were still waiting on the state numbers and how much the budget cuts would play out, for that (activity fee) to be affected."
He said officials are "hoping that the levy will pass and we won't have to raise fees this much. But you have to have a plan in place if that doesn't happen, and this is what's going to happen (if the levy fails)."
Voters approved a two-year, $6.4-million emergency levy in May 2009, but it expires at the end of 2011.
The emergency levy before voters in May is for 14.78 mills and is expected to generate $6,439,000 per year.
According to district treasurer Joyce Boyer, the levy would cost $469 annually per $100,000 of home value and would not increase the amount that residents currently pay.
"We need to get the message out that we're looking to renew our current levy and that we aren't asking for new money from voters," Riggs said. "In the old days, renewal levies pretty much went through without having to campaign for it, but with the climate we're in now, we'll need to start a pretty good campaign in the next few weeks, and we'll work just as hard to pass it as we did the first time."
However, district officials said on March 21 that even if voters renew the levy, Canal Winchester schools face a shortage of $760,000 next school year, according to projections.
Canal Winchester High School currently offers 19 varsity sports.
According to Riggs, the district had 570 total participants at the high school level and 360 total participants at the middle school level during the 2009-10 school year, including students who participated in multiple activities.
John Bender, the girls track and field and cross country coach at the high school, said an increase in the activity fee would prevent some students from playing.
"This would be devastating for many of our kids because it's hard for some families to pay the $140 fee right now," Bender said. "We've got the whole spectrum in Canal Winchester, from families who live in public housing to very wealthy families.
"It's also very difficult for families who have multiple kids playing sports in our schools," he said. "We've got one family who has three girls in high school and another one in middle school right now."
High school football coach Phil Mauro is concerned that a higher activity fee will discourage athletes from playing more than one sport per school year.
"The one area where you'd maybe see the most effect would be our multi-sport students," Mauro said. "The vast majority of our guys are in two sports, because that's something we really promote here. It would be a shame to see kids have to choose one sport over another, instead of getting the opportunity to play two or three sports that they enjoy."
Riggs, who also is the head coach of the boys basketball team, said losing multiple-sport athletes could weaken some of the talent pool and depth on various teams.
"The more the cost goes up to participate, obviously, the number of participating kids is going to drop in some fashion and you're going to lose some athletes," Riggs said. "We could lose some kids who play two or three sports who might make a decision to play only one or two sports, and that's where it's going to be felt the most from the coaches of these programs."
If the activity fees begin to rise as sharply as projected, Mauro said Canal Winchester's programs will need to organize additional fundraising events to aid the families who can't afford the cost.
"Obviously, this would be a hardship on the great majority of our kids, so we would have to work with them the best we could to give them the opportunity to help fund their participation," Mauro said. "We already do fundraisers that just go into our pool to help pay for different supplies and such for all of our players. For this, we would definitely have to work hard with our athletes to try to figure out some different fundraising activities to offset some of those fees."

This entry represents type 2 phosphatidic acid phosphatase (PAP2; EC:188.8.131.52) enzymes, such as phosphatidylglycerophosphatase B EC:18.104.22.168 from Escherichia coli. PAP2 enzymes have a core structure consisting of a 5-helical bundle, where the beginning of the third helix binds the cofactor [PMID: 10835340]. PAP2 enzymes catalyse the dephosphorylation of phosphatidate, yielding diacylglycerol and inorganic phosphate [PMID: 17079146]. In eukaryotic cells, PAP activity has a central role in the synthesis of phospholipids and triacylglycerol through its product diacylglycerol, and it also generates and/or degrades lipid-signalling molecules that are related to phosphatidate.
Other related enzymes have a similar core structure, including haloperoxidases such as bromoperoxidase (contains one core bundle, but forms a dimer), chloroperoxidases (contains two core bundles arranged as in other family dimers), bacitracin transport permease from Bacillus licheniformis, glucose-6-phosphatase from rat. The vanadium-dependent haloperoxidases exclusively catalyse the oxidation of halides, and act as histidine phosphatases, using histidine for the nucleophilic attack in the first step of the reaction [PMID: 12447906]. Amino acid residues involved in binding phosphate/vanadate are conserved between the two families, supporting a proposal that vanadium passes through a tetrahedral intermediate during the reaction mechanism.

Morphology of Date Fruits Depending on the cultivars as well as the stage of maturity, date fruit shows the greatest extent of variation in its shape, size, and color. Apart from changes in physical characteristics, date fruit varies greatly in chemical composition during its various stages of maturity.
As the date fruit matures, it undergoes major morphological and chemical changes that subsequently determine the overall quality and acceptability of this fruit. A lot of information on the physicochemical changes occurring in date fruits during different stages of maturity is now available from all the major date fruit growing countries of the world (Al- Hooti et al., 1997f; Mohammed et al., 1983; Shabana et al., 1981; Sawaya et al., 1982; Salem and Hegazi, 1971).Date fruits may have round, oval, oblong, or cylindrical shapes depending on the cultivar.
Al-Hooti et al. (1997f) reported the physical measurements and colors of five major date fruit cultivars grown in the UAE. All the cultivars were green in color at the kimri stage but at the khalal stage, the color varied among the cultivars.
At the khalal stage, Shahla and Bushibal were red, Gash Gafaar and Lulu were yellow, whereas Gash Habash fruits were yellowscarlet (Figs 22.1a–g). At the last stage of maturity (i.e., tamer ), the fruits of all the cultivars turned dark brown and shriveled considerably.
The fruit weight, pulp–seed ratio, and physical measurements at the various stages of maturity of these five cultivars have been described in detail elsewhere (Sidhu and Al- Hooti, 2004). At the kimri stage, the Bushibal and Gash Gafaar fruits are cylindrical in shape, whereas the Lulu fruits are nearly round.
These shapes are more or less retained by all cultivars throughout the various stages of fruit development. The lengths of Bushibal, Gash Gafaar, Gash Habash, and Shahla are 26.5, 24.8, 23.7, and 27.7 mm, respectively, with the corresponding values for width being 15.4, 15.5, 17.7, and 18.6 mm. In contrast, the Lulu cultivar has a length and width of 19.3 and 18.6 mm, respectively, indicating its nearly round appearance.
Fruit weights are generally the highest at the khalal stage (6.1– 10.0 g) and decrease subsequently toward the tamer stage (4.9 g). The pulp percentage varies from 83% to 90%, and the seed percentage varies from 10% to 17% among these five cultivars. The physicochemical characteristics of 55 Saudi cultivars (Sawaya et al., 1986a) at khalal and tamer stages of maturity are quite similar to those of the UAE cultivars reported by Al-Hooti et al. (1997f).
Some of Saudi cultivars had a bigger fruit size (25.6– 26.8 g) at the khalal stage, but itwas reduced to 13.7– 14.1 g at the tamer stage. The fruit weights ranged from 5.8 to 26.8 g (with an average of 13.5 g) at the khalal stage and from 4.8 to 18.3 g (with an average of 9.8 g) at the tamer stage. The weight of seeds ranged from 0.7 to 1.8 g at khalal stage and 0.6–1.3 g at the tamer stage of maturity of these cultivars. The pulp percentage of these cultivars was reported to be in the range of 86–96% and was slightly higher than that reported by Al-Hooti et al. (1997f), although some of the smaller fruit cultivars studied by them had similar fruit size and pulp percentages. Sourial et al. (1986) evaluated four local cultivars, namely, Sofr-Eldomain, Kabooshy, Sergy, and Homr-Baker, in relation to their control cultivar, Hayany, grown in Egypt for their physicochemical characteristics.
The fruit lengths for these five cultivars ranged from 4.9 to 5.6cmand fruit weights ranged from 15.79 to 25.30 g, seed weights ranged from 1.87 to 2.38 g, and pulp percentage ranged from 88.15% to 90.70%. These values were quite comparable to those reported earlier in the literature (Sawaya, 1986). In another study, Nour et al. (1986) reported the physical characteristics of nine dry palm cultivars (i.e., Balady, Bartamuda, Degna, Garguda, Gondalia, Kolma, Malkabi, Sakkoti, and Shamia ) grown in Aswan, Egypt.
The fruit weights, fruit lengths, fruit widths, and seed weights ranged from 6.5 to 16.9 g, from 3.89 to 5.40 cm, from 1.75 to 3.32 cm, and from 1.0 to 1.63 g, respectively. The cultivar Malkabi had the highest fruit weight (16.9 g), Shamia was the longest (5.4 cm), and Bartmuda had the smallest seed (1.0 g only).

This is the real reason why Jose Mourinho thinks Man United's stars are getting injured
MANCHESTER UNITED reportedly feel their hectic fixture schedule is the reason behind their injury list.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Marcos Rojo were today ruled out for the reminder of the season.
The Red Devils striker is facing up to nine months on the sidelines with a knee ligament injury while Rojo's comeback should be sooner as his blow isn't as serious.
The news about Ibrahimovic is almost certain to mean he's made his last appearance for United.
"Man United feel their hectic fixture schedule is the reason behind their injury list"
And according to the Daily Record, Jose Mourinho's staff believe the injuries are down to United's fixture schedule.
The Red Devils have played more matches than any other Premier League club.
Mourinho's men are mid-way through their nine-game fixture schedule for April.
United face Burnley on Sunday with the top four in their sights.
Mourinho's men also face Manchester City and Swansea before the end of the month.

Men with a Mission: The greatest game
By: Wouter van de Zandschulp
There are a lot of games to play lately. Games, made to enjoy yourself. To offer us a bit of relaxation with some sort of challenge. There are computer games. A lot of them get boring after a while. After all, your options are very restricted. You can only do what the computer is programmed to let you do. If that's not what you want, you can demolish your computer, but that's it.
All games consist of rules. There is no other option to make it playable. You have the real world and a game. And if you want to game, you must go by it's specific rules. Real life also has got rules, but you can do a lot of your own still (except in some police force states).
Real life offers the most possible ways to be original. Games are made by man, thus not as perfect as life; it's much more restricted. But getting out of life is relaxing.
And that's why there are rpgs. The ingenious trick is that it offers more then a game; it offers life. An alternative life. So the restrictions of the ordinary game get away. AWAY! BEGONE, RESTRICTIONS ARRR!!
Err... well... anyhow, that's what my story bottles down to. I guess rpg is the greatest game. The possibilities are endless. There is a whole fantasy world to get into. It just never gets boring.
Well, it can be sometimes though. Ironically in the big action scene, perfect in it's suspense, swords clattering, everyone ready in fighting mode, the pace of your fighting is of the essence... but in reality you just roll dices and wait for it to be your turn. You just sit there with your statistics while a colleague is discussion for about half and hour about the damage his move can make in this particular situation while half of the people around have forgotten what is happening at all.
Okay, so rpg-ing isn't quite flawless. But nothing ever is. It's the fun of life, I guess.
You can get a bit more living, though, those fights. Just dress totally weird and go into the woods, LARP-ing (preferable in an actual LARP-event). You might even get on the news as one of the 'total weird and crazy persons'. YAY!
Well, all in all, you've got to love it. Having weird friends obsessed with rules, the smell of the DM screen and the role-play-inside jokes in webcomics non-role-players wouldn't understand. It's a weird culture. But it's our culture. And it seems real nuts and evil to some people. YAY!

Reporting Africa Since 1960
21 February 2019
2nd April 2010
In the face of blatant preparations for election rigging, the Sudan People's Liberation Movement decided on 31 March to boycott the national presidential election and all elections in Darfur but it will stand in the South, where it dominates the Government of South Sudan (GOSS). As Africa Confidential went to press, the SPLM's partners in the National Consensus Forces (NCF, or Juba Alliance) - the National Umma Party (NUP), Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) and Sudan Communist Party - had decided to withdraw from the presidential vote and, with other parties in the NCF, were still discussing whether to boycott other polls. Hassan Abdullah el Turabi's Popular Congress Party said it would not boycott.

EDF Renewable Energy (EDF RE) has closed on the transaction to sell a 50% interest in the 200 MW Longhorn Wind Project to a fund managed by BlackRock Infrastructure Investment Group.
The Longhorn project, located in Floyd and Briscoe counties in Texas, comprises 100 Vestas V-100 wind turbines with a rated capacity of 2 MW each. The project will interconnect to the Competitive Renewable Energy Zone transmission infrastructure.
EDF RE says it remains closely involved in Longhorn Wind, maintaining a 50% ownership stake. EDF Renewable Services will provide balance-of-plant operations and maintenance for the facility, including 24/7 remote monitoring from its Operations Control Center in San Diego.
According to EDF RE, Longhorn Wind follows the closing of Hereford Wind Project (200 MW) in February, marking the second of five projects that BlackRock and EDF RE signed agreements on earlier this year. The remaining three projects, Spinning Spur 3 (194 MW), Roosevelt (250 MW) and Milo (49.65 MW) wind projects, will close upon completion of construction and tax-equity financing.
Raphael Declercq, vice president of portfolio strategy at EDF RE, states, "With the recent signing of two additional 50 percent sales regarding the New Mexico projects of Roosevelt and Milo, EDF RE has committed 50 percent stakes in 894 MW of U.S. wind energy projects to BlackRock since the start of 2015. Those partial sell-downs are an integral part of our divestiture business line."
"We are pleased to partner with EDF Renewable Energy to add the Longhorn Wind to our global renewables portfolio," says Jim Barry, global head of BlackRock Infrastructure.
The Longhorn project is the 16th transaction completed to date by BlackRock Infrastructure in the renewables space, bringing the total invested portfolio to approximately 615 MW of wind and 178 MW of solar projects located across the U.S., Canada, Ireland, the U.K. and France.

'KRACK' Attack - What does it mean for you?
Posted by mbird on Fri, 20/10/2017 - 16:25
The announcement of the WPA2 vulnerability discovery has, unsurprisingly, caused worry among IT professionals. Here, Vanix wi-fi expert Laurence Lowe details what exactly has happened and what actions need to be taken.
What has happened?
WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access II) using CCMP is the industry standard for wireless network security, providing 256-bit encryption which cannot feasibly be broken using today's computing power.
WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access II) using CCMP is the industry standard for wireless network security, providing 256-bit encryption which cannot feasibly be broken using today's computing power. You will no doubt be aware that a series of exploits were recently discovered by a Belgian information security researcher, Mathy Vanhoef, which could allow a suitably-equipped hacker to read encrypted data transmitted between the client and the AP. This attack is known as "KRACK" (Key Reinstallation Attack).
What is KRACK?
KRACK relates to the way the WPA/WPA2 protocol handles the exchange of transient encryption keys between the wireless client and a wireless access point (AP). Transient encryption keys are temporary keys used for encrypting client sessions, and are different for each wireless client and session. Please be reassured that KRACK does not reveal your pre-shared key (PSK) or user credentials, so there is no need to change your network passphrase or force users to reset their passwords at this time.
The attack itself is highly sophisticated and quite difficult to perform, requiring a user to have specialised software and scripts on their laptop, and be within range of both your wireless APs and the client they wished to attack. Successfully performing the attack would allow them to replay and decrypt packets, potentially giving access to information sent in plain text. Traffic sent via VPN or websites accessed via HTTPS would still be inaccessible to the attacker in most cases. To date, there are no tools available to perform this attack, so it would require significant effort to carry out.
What is the impact?
While it has been reported that the WPA2 protocol is fundamentally broken, this is incorrect – we do not need a "WPA3" protocol. The vulnerabilities discovered are related to specific implementations of the protocol, both on wireless APs and wireless clients. Vendors have been aware of these vulnerabilities for several months, and, in some cases, have issued patches already. Microsoft released a patch for all supported versions of Windows on October 10th 2017, while Apple and Google are still working on fixes which should be available soon. Similarly, most affected wireless network vendors will be shortly issuing patches if they have not already.
How can I protect my network??
Firstly, ensure you are running the WPA2 protocol on your network. Older implementations of the protocol (WPA-TKIP) are much more vulnerable, allowing a suitably-motivated attacker to forge and inject packets into your network, putting your clients at risk of ransomware attacks.
Ensure that your clients and wireless APs/controllers are fully patched and up to date.
If your vendor has not provided a patch yet, there are other ways to limit the attack surface:
- Some wireless vendors enable wireless links between all APs, to provide redundancy in case an APs wired uplink fails. This is called a "Mesh". Most Mesh implementations are vulnerable to this attack, so Mesh should be disabled unless it is specifically required for point-to-point links or external wireless coverage.
- 802.11r (Fast BSS Transition) is an extension to the 802.11 standard which provides faster roaming between APs for supported clients. Several vulnerabilities relate specifically to 802.11r, so this should be disabled.
- Any attacker performing this attack would have to be located close to or inside your building, within range of at least one of your APs, and masquerading as one of your APs. Many vendors provide Wireless Intrusion Detection/Prevention systems (WIDS/WIPS) to detect exactly these kinds of attacks. It is highly recommended that you enable and configure WIDS/WIPS in your network.
If you have any further questions about this vulnerability, or any other worries about your IT security, our experts are here to help.

Yale University-Mayo Clinic CERSI
Center of Excellence in Regulatory Science and Innovation
The Yale University-Mayo Clinic Center of Excellence in Regulatory Science and Innovation (CERSI) is a joint effort between Yale University, Mayo Clinic, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to create infrastructure for regulatory science knowledge generation, conduct research to address key gaps in knowledge, and develop tools to support regulatory decision-making and the overall mission of FDA. The FDA Office of Regulatory Science and Innovation supports CERSIs at Yale-Mayo and the following sites:
University of California at San Francisco in a joint effort with Stanford University
The FDA is tasked with the complex regulatory mission of protecting public health by assuring safety, efficacy, and security of human and veterinary drugs, biological products, medical devices, food, and products that emit radiation. In addition, the FDA is responsible for regulating the manufacturing, marketing and distribution of tobacco products, for advancing public health by helping to speed innovations that make medicines more effective, safe, and affordable, and for helping the public get the accurate, science-based information they need to use medicines and foods to maintain and improve health.
The Yale-Mayo CERSI aims to create an infrastructure to support and enhance several areas of focus in the FDA strategic plan for regulatory science, including to stimulate innovation in clinical evaluations and personalized medicine to improve product development and patient outcomes, harness diverse data through information sciences to improve health outcomes, and strengthen social and behavioral science to help consumers and professionals make informed decisions about regulated products. The Yale-Mayo CERSI will use routinely-collected, real-world data sources, other existing clinical trial data, and genomic and biobank data in order to inform regulatory decision-making, build FDA capacity and capability to deploy advanced analytic methods, and disseminate the knowledge generated to ensure patient-centered regulatory decision-making, better-informed regulators, manufacturers, clinicians and patients, and support shared decision-making.
Recent News and Updates
The Yale-Mayo Clinic CERSI was pleased to have Molly Jeffery, PhD, Scientific Director of Emergency Medicine Research, Department of Health Sciences Research, Mayo Clinic, present results from the CERSI project "Characterization and analysis of high incidence of potentially unsafe prescribing of some Extended-Release opioid analgesics using Natural Language Processing (NLP) of Electronic Health Record clinical notes" at the FDA's Joint Meeting of the Drug Safety and Risk Management Advisory Committee and the Anesthetic and Analgesic Drug Products Advisory Committee on August 3, 2018.

Legalization Status
Connecticut State Governing Body Information
- Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection: CT Medical Marijuana Program
- Cannabis Packaging Laws: medical cannabis laws on this page
- Advertising Guide PDF, which includes packaging information
- Specific dispensary rules for packaging medical cannabis products
2018 Marijuana Packaging Laws Update
The Constitution State had followed the rest of the country for the 20th century and kept cannabis criminalized, but they were one of the first states to decriminalize cannabis in 2011. By "decriminalize," Connecticut (and other states) usually mean that possession of a small amount of cannabis, usually under an ounce, will only be punished with a small fine instead of criminal charges. In a statement following the vote, said in an official statement, ""There is no question that the state's criminal justice resources could be more effectively utilized for convicting, incarcerating and supervising violent and more serious offenders."
Only a year later, the Connecticut Senate decided that they would allow marijuana for medical use and the then-governor Malloy signed the medical marijuana bill, Connecticut Public Act 12-55, An Act Concerning the Palliative Use of Marijuana. These new laws empowered the Connecticut Medical Marijuana Program to see that patients with certain medical conditions could safely use cannabis to find relief. Their program focuses on licensing for patients and physicians, and the state will oversee the dispensing and cultivation of medical cannabis.
The program is overseen by the Connecticut State Department of Consumer Protection, and its rules and regulations are designed to protect not only consumers, but physicians and medical cannabis business owners as well. Like many other states that have legalized cannabis, the Constitution State requires everyone involved in medical marijuana to be licensed, including patients, physicians, caregivers, cultivators, and dispensaries.
2017 Marijuana Packaging Laws Update
Connecticut medical marijuana packaging and labeling laws treat the products like other medications by requiring detailed labeling, including the amounts of active ingredients in milligram form. Medical cannabis products in Connecticut are also treated somewhat like food in that they are required to go through testing for contaminants, heavy metals, or other harmful chemicals. They also refer back to their medical marijuana registration laws because each package must be labeled with the exact brand name that was registered with the CT Department of Consumer Protection.
You can find the official text of the medical cannabis laws at the State of Connecticut Regulation of the Department of Consumer Protection Concerning Palliative Use of Marijuana.
These specific Connecticut medical marijuana labeling and packaging regulations come from Sec. 21a-408-56 of state cannabis regulations:
A producer shall individually package, label, and seal marijuana products in unit sizes such that no single unit contains more than a one-month supply of marijuana.
A producer shall place any product containing marijuana in a child-resistant and light-resistant package.
A producer shall label each marijuana product prior to sale to a dispensary and shall securely affix to the package a label that states in legible English:
(1) The name and address of the producer;
(2) The brand name of the marijuana product that was registered with the department;
(3) A unique serial number that will match the product with a producer batch and lot number so as to facilitate any warnings or recalls the department or producer deems appropriate;
(4) The date of final testing and packaging;
(5) The expiration date;
(6) The quantity of marijuana contained therein;
(7) A terpenes profile and a list of all active ingredients, including:
(A) tetrahydrocannabinol (THC);
(B) tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA);
(C) cannabidiol (CBD);
(D) cannabidiolic acid (CBDA); and
(E) any other active ingredient that constitutes at least 1% of the marijuana batch used in the product.
(8) A pass or fail rating based on the laboratory's microbiological, mycotoxins, heavy metals, and chemical residue analysis.

The Belle of Lincoln was originally the name given to a new brand of whiskey made by the Jack Daniel Distillery in the 1890's, but would also become the name of a commemorative bottle. Known as the Belle Bottle, this commemorative bottle was personally created by Jack Daniel himself and was unlike any before it. It was never mass produced and the few bottles made were given away by Jack as gifts…
The Distillery released this commemorative Belle of Lincoln decanter in 1979 filled with 90 proof whiskey, basing its design on sketches and descriptions of how the original bottle most likely appeared.
Excerpt above provides a small sample of the information found in the book.
The Ultimate Guide for Jack Daniel's collectors and enthusiasts, this book provides an overview and history of Jack Daniel's family of whiskeys and the many commemorative bottles released by the Distillery over the last 40 years.Get The Book

MOON TWP. � A traditional Native American talking circle, according to Navajo healer Francis Burnside, is a fireside marketplace where communication serves as currency, and peace and promise are the most popular commodities.
Mary Anne Kowalski of Ambridge, who will be a grandmother for the first time in May, joined Burnside�s talking circle Monday at Robert Morris University and, clutching an eagle feather, exchanged gratitude for hope.
�You�ve helped me see that my grandchild will be born into a world where people want to live in peace with each other. You�ve given me hope for my grandchild,� she said to the group of students, faculty, administrators and visitors who gathered around a fire outside the Nicholson student center.
Burnside, 67, serving as a visiting scholar at Robert Morris through mid-March, is considered a �hitaalii� by the Najavo. Like his grandfather, he serves as a healer, philosopher, spiritual leader and historian.
In the talking circle he created Monday at Robert Morris, he was mostly philosopher, sharing the Navajo world view before passing his eagle feather, allowing others to join the conversation.���
��There is no such thing as an enemy on this earth. Everyone in the circle, and everyone out there (in the world), is sacred and special,� Burnside said. �We are all relatives.�
Cultural differences mask a shared identity.
�We all have the same spiritual roots,� Burnside said.
The Navajos do not embrace world religions.
�We have no church. We have no religion. Our way of life is to try and understand God. Every breath is a prayer,� Burnside said.
The talking circle is a traditional ceremony that could continue for two days and two nights, without anyone sleeping, he said.
�Everyone sings, everyone prays, each one represents something different to the fire, each one has a beautiful message to share,� Burnside said.
The Navajo bring concerns to the fire, and those concerns, spoken aloud, are often incinerated by the end of the ceremony. He says Native Americans believe talking circles could work in Washington, D.C.
�We say, �Why do they need so much government? Don�t they have a fire circle?� �
Shannon Schwartzmiller, a Robert Morris senior following an English/education career path, said she has learned from the independent study she has done with Burnside.
�It has changed the way I think, and the way I look at things. I don�t rush as much anymore,� she said.
Lawrence Tomei, associate provost for academic affairs at Robert Morris, said the school intends to extend its relationship with Burnside, perhaps sending students and faculty to visit him in Arizona.
�His philosophy, his way of looking at the world, is something we all want to share,� Tomei said.
Burnside said he would welcome the opportunities to meet again in a circle.�
�I think this could make it possible in a way to maybe restart sharing things with the native people.�
In the United States, Burnside said, talking circles, as community events, have been replaced by football and basketball games.

Instagram. YouTube. Facebook Live. These and others are driving the continued growth and interest in online video across multiple industries and applications. In 2017, we saw a 34% increase in worldwide video viewing, according to a report from Limelight Network.
Mar 23, 2004
Enigma Inc., a provider of aftermarket service and support technology, has announced the immediate availability of the latest release of its 3C Platform. Enigma 3C Version 8 Release 2 capitalizes on the J2EE architecture introduced in the original V8 Platform, further embracing the open standards and open source community and lowering the total cost of ownership for customers. In addition, the latest release is designed to provide customers with more options for tailoring their implementations to meet individual content delivery workflows and/or enterprise integration requirements.
Designed for companies that manufacture, service and/or operate complex equipment that requires ongoing maintenance and repair, the Enigma 3C Platform was developed to provide a comprehensive product encyclopedia of service information to workers. Enigma combines parts and maintenance information from multiple data systems and dynamically delivers a support resource for a specific product or an individual piece of equipment. The Enigma 3C Platform ties into diagnostics, inventory, and parts ordering systems. Collaboration functionality allows service organizations to capture the internal knowledge of their users by enabling them to add, update, and share best practices and product feedback alongside the referenced content.
A new SDK within V8R2 is intended to help system integrators and internal IT organizations build and deploy online and offline service and support applications, which can be dynamically and continuously updated with new content. In addition, Release 2 includes support for Linux and IBM WebSphere Application Server Version 5, improving backup server clustering and the dynamic workload management of Enigma 3C applications. V8R2 also features advanced access control and print-on-demand capabilities.

Hi guys! I know, promised to update the blog regularly and not really doing it.. But there is so much happening right now I hardly find time for myself. And it's a very very good thing. Not that I have no "me time", but that I'm so busy.
Yesterday my lovely boyfriend helped me with making labels for my products. Instead of spending the evening watching TV we sat together with hot chocolate and marshmallows, designed and made lots and lots of them. We used a very old typing machine to write the info inside, and because it's old and doesn't write very good I had to bang the letters and my finger tips are pretty damaged now. But we had great time, it took us a while to figure out all the measurements and everything else, and that was really funny. I think they turn out really well and quite original. Really proud of myself. And my boyfriend (fiancé to be and future husband).

- Latest available (Revised)

This is the original version (as it was originally made). This item of legislation is currently only available in its original format.
27.—(1) When an active member becomes entitled to immediate payment of a full retirement pension in relation to an employment—
(a)the active member's pension account shall be closed; and
(b)a retirement pension account shall be opened.
(2) The retirement pension account shall specify—
(a)the amount of accrued pension;
(b)the amount of any additional pension purchased under regulation 19(7)(b)(i) (additional voluntary contributions);
(c)the early payment reduction or deferred payment enhancement (if any) and the amount of pension to which that reduction or enhancement is to be applied;
(d)the commutation amount (if any);
(e)the amount of any pension adjustment; and
(f)the amount of pension payable from time to time and the date from which it is to be paid.
(3) Subject to paragraph (4), the amount of accrued pension for the purposes of paragraph (2)(a) is the amount that would have been specified under regulation 26(4) (deferred member's pension account and deferred refund account) if a deferred member's pension account had been opened for that member.
(4) The amount of accrued pension specified in paragraph (2)(a) shall be reduced to take account of the commutation amount (if any) in paragraph (2)(d).
(5) The amount of any pension adjustment not already accounted for under paragraph (2)(a) is, for the purposes of paragraph (2)(e), the aggregate of the amounts calculated in accordance with actuarial guidance issued by the Department to account for any tax to which the Committee may become chargeable under the 2004 Finance Act in accordance with regulation 97 (tax) or as a result of a pension sharing order.
(6) The balance in the member's retirement pension account at the end of the Scheme year in which the member becomes a pensioner member is adjusted at the beginning of the following Scheme year by the revaluation adjustment applicable to the Scheme year in which the member became a pensioner member, in accordance with actuarial guidance issued by the Department.
(7) The revalued balance calculated under paragraph (6) is the opening balance for the following Scheme year and, thereafter, the balance is adjusted each year by the index rate adjustment from the date that an increase would apply if that balance were a pension in payment to which the 1971 Act applied.
(8) For the purposes of this regulation a full retirement pension means a retirement pension other than a pension payable under regulation 31(6) (retirement benefits, flexible retirement pensions).

English Version
The sports non-profitmaking organization Black and Blue 1983 Pisa is on the look-out for guys both to enrich its youth sector and to make this sport known to those who don't know it or play in it without a suitable knowledge. Our activity mainly refers to foster fun, socialization and growth of each guy involved.
In addition to this, our history gives credit to us for having formed some of the best Table Football players of the world. These are still pillars of our team and personally follow all our youth training activities.
Our focus on looking for new guys, as increasingly requested from the new BoD, is the best expression of our willingness to take care of guys instead of adults.
In this context, in addition to our registered office in Pettori (near Pisa), we have got another office in Reggio Emilia managed by our members that live in that area of Italy.
Here some pictures taken in Pettori about our guys while training: Lorenzo Tamburri (PISA sweatshirt), U15 Tuscany Champion, and Gianmarco Farnesi (gray sweater) …
… and some other pictures taken in Boretto (near Reggio Emilia): Mattia Benecchi (black t-shirt), Francesco Iori (gray t-shirt), Michele Mora (gray sweater) and Alessio Pace (gray/white sweater)
We recommend those who are interested in having more information to contact us even if only to have a chat or to get to know each other.

Coffee Addiction
My dear boyfriend (lets call him Sir, boyfriend sounds like we're teenagers...) noticed it within the first weeks of our relationship: I really enjoy my coffee moments. Not only I really enjoy them, so do my mother, and my sister. Up to the point that one of us posted something on facebook about coffee, and the other two commented things like: Ow, I'd love a cup of coffee too! Mom, I'm coming to your place for coffee! etc. To us it is merely a social thing though. We mostly enjoy our coffee - and indeed, enjoy it - when we can share it. Which makes it more obvious for 'outsiders' that we drink coffee often.While some 'real' addicts drink coffee for drinking it, no matter what coffee it is and when, as long as it contains caffein, coffee is so much better when it can be used together, and with a little attention to how it is made. Things like boiled milk, and sometimes sweet whipped cream, cacao powder, etc, make even a cup of senseo tasteful.

There's nothing like sitting down to a good old fashioned pizza, but have you ever thought about making a less than traditional dinner? Here are some crazy delicious pizza recipes for you to drool over!
Mushroom and Egg
This is a very simple pizza. All you have to do is chop up some mushrooms and drop an egg right into the center of the pizza. You can also add onions and cheese to top it off.
Swiss Chard
This pizza has Swiss chard, sausage, and mozzarella cheese. Top with some parmesan cheese, black pepper, salt and crushed red pepper flakes to give it an even more delicious taste.
Here's something you don't see every day. A pizza with corn! For this one, you throw together corn, pesto, goat cheese and sundried tomatoes. Sprinkle the goat cheese on the crust thickly, and then follow up with the pesto tomatoes and corn. It will be thick and creamy and not to mention delicious!
Grilling your pizza is a game changer, and putting grilled fruits on it makes it even better. With this pizza, you'll need peach slices, ricotta, and honey. This pizza is good for breakfast, lunch, dinner and even dessert! Slather the ricotta on the dough, then top it with sliced peaches and honey drizzle.
As you can see, there are many different types of pizzas to try, far more than the classic pepperoni and sausage.

Landscaping a sloped or tiered garden isn't as hard as you think. Charlie Albone shares his expert advice!
It's a great way of turning something plain into something extraordinary. The possibilities are endless!
- One of the biggest challenges with a sloping garden is to make it usable and they're often high maintenance. But getting the design right can be really tricky and generally the least painful solution is to get a good landscape designer on board
Tiered gardens are a great option for a sloping block with limited space. Terraces can allow you to create flat space which is useful for entertaining and garden beds. Each one can have its own aesthetic buts it's important to define each zone.
Split your garden into eating and lounging areas. As a rule put your dining closest to the house for easy access to the kitchen.
Building retaining walls is a skilled job, and they'll need to be properly engineered to hold back the weight of the earth. They'll stop erosion when it rains and have the added advantage of allowing water to soak into the soil.
Choosing the right materials is a key feature to any terraced design. It will need to blend with the surroundings so look at the architecture of your home and the local natural environment. Recycled timbers give a rustic look. Where as Natural stone or concrete work well in a more modern setting.
Terrace gardens are a great way of adding more useable space to your home. As well as adding extra value, they are great spot to have a beer in the sun!
