After struggling a bit with the first decks I built in the new format, I wanted to try a more controling deck and I came up with this control/ midrange Shaman deck. My record with the deck is currently 12-2, in the ranks 7 till 5, and I am planing to play it further. It performed very strong in the games I played so far. I tried to build it in such a way, that it is good against the decks that are popular right now. So, especially with the popularity of Token Druid, Tempo Rogue and Murloc Shaman, I added a lot of early game.
I first thought about the deck, when I thought that it would be cool to play Earthen Might on Walking Fountain. Then I concluded that an elemental package would be a perfect shell for a control/ midrange style Shaman deck. However, I have not pulled of that combo, but still both cards performed very strong. The higher amount of minions snyergize well with Hagatha the Witch, which is the most important card in the deck, if you plan to grind out the opponent. Most times you win that way. Swampqueen Hagatha and Shudderwock are also ways to win a long game. Shudderwock is manly there, because it is great with Swampqueen Hagatha, as you get both the effect of casting both spells, and an additional horror to the hand. Walking Fountain is also an imortant card, as it is one of the best cards for stabilizing.
What makes this deck so strong (at least in the games I played) is that you have great and efficient ways to keep the board in control with 4 good mass removal spells (Hagathas Scheme is the great addition from the new set) and good and efficient spot removal. Also Thunderhead and Voltaic Burst can help, too. Theay are great against the aggro decks, especially Token Druid and Murloc Shaman. Likkim is also an efficient way to keep the board clean, especially in the early turns. Another great card for this is Sludge Slurper, which seems to be a bit out of place at first sight. But it has synergy with Hagatha the Witch, as it provides you with two spells, and it is great for contesting the board against other aggresive decks. One game against a Mech Hunter I won, because I had two Sludge Slurper on turn one and two and played the curve, such that I was ahead on the board in each turn and won on turn 8.
The main reason, why I like the deck so much, is that it is a control deck in it´s core and you can grind out and stabilize against a lot of opponents, but it also has a good curve that allows you to make some preasure and most importantly have efficient ways to deal with the opponents board.
I will keep you updated and write some more (mulligan guide, detailed card choice explanation), if I see that you are interested in it.
I added a Storm Chaser and Archivist Elysiana and put out one Fire Elemental and the Electra Stormsurge. Elysiana helps a lot against Warrior or other hard control decks. The plan is here to fatigue the opponent: When your deck is empty you can refill it with Elysiana and if the opponent does the same, you can do it a second time with Shudderwock.
I played with the new list in the Brawlisium and went 7-3. My overall record is now 20-7 with a WR of 74%.
First of all, thanks for the upvotes! My overall record with the deck is now 27-10 with a winrate of 73%.
Hagatha the Witch: Probably the most important card in the deck. Good against aggro, as it provides a board clearer and important against slow decks as it provides a lot of value.
Walking Fountain: Also very important. Together with Hagaha the Queen the best way to stabilize, as it gives you heal and takes out opposing minions. Especially imortant, as there are not so many good ways to heal for Shaman.
Cards of choice to win a long game. They synegize quite well with another. Shudderwock and Swampqueen Hagatha can be also useful against more aggresive strategies, but Archivist Elysiana is only good against Control, especially against bomb Warrior, as it removes all bombs from your deck.
Harrison Jones: Quite good in the meta, with all the Rogue decks and Warrior decks. Also provides some card draw in those matchups, which the deck lacks a bit. Maybe if the meta shifts towards more Druid or Mage decks, then something else might be better.
Thunderhead and Likkim are very good against the token decks and other aggresive decks. The many one cost overload cards provides good consistency to it and are generally good against aggresive style decks. With those 10 cards you have a lot of cheap and efficient ways to interact with the opponents board or get some board presence.
I added a bit of an elemental theme, since we have with Walking Fountain and Thunderhead some elementals anyway (Earthen Might is the only payoff card, though. But keep in mind that you can get some other elemental payoff cards with Menacing Nimbus and Earthen Might, like Arcanosaur or Bonfire Elemental). Those cards give you value and can provide you with some board presence.
Storm Chaser: Card draw, elemental. Gives you Hagathas Scheme, which you always want as soon as possible, so that it can tick up.
Both great AoE. Great against aggro/ token decks which are very popular right now. Hagatha´s Scheme also great against Big decks, as you can remove a board of multiple big minions, which is difficult with most other AoE.
Use your AoE, spot removal and other early cards (the Thunderhead package) to keep the board clean and then close out with Hagatha or the other value cards.
Maybe try to preasure the opponent a bit in the early-/ midgame. Swampqueen Hagatha is great for that. If you can´t preasure him enough (which happens most times) play Hagatha the Witch early and generate a lot of value. It might be worth it, to keep some of the cheap minions to play after Hagatha the Witch. If your oppnent wants to fatigue you, play Archivist Elysiana when you have few or none cards in your deck and refill it. If you think that the opponent has also Archivist Elysiana, it might be worth to wait with Shudderwock until you play Archivist Elysiana to refill a second time.
The deck can be quite difficult to play. Especially against control decks, you might need to be patient and evaluate correctly when to commit threads and removal. If you are Hagatha you must also pay attention to the hand size. In general you must also be aware of overloeaded mana crystals. So always think, what you want to do next turn and if you can afford to overload.
I would always keep one Hagatha´s Scheme as you want it as eraly as possible, so that it can tick up. The only class there I might consider mulligan it is Warrior. I am not exactly sue when you want to keep Hagatha the Witch. Against decks there you think you can get to turn 8 I would probably keep it, as it is such an important card. Menacing Nimbus is also a card that is never bad to have on the early turns.
Never keep Archivist Elysiana, Shuderwock and probably Walking Fountain, since they are too slow. I would also mulligan Earthen Might most times. I tried some times to keep it and play it on an early Menacing Nimbus, but it has not worked out that well.
Those clases are most likely more aggresive. Keep any cheap cards and/ or removal. Maybe Zilliax. Against Rogue maybe not Sludge Slurper, as it dies easily against the dagger.
same. I would also keep Hex, as it can be Big Mage, and not Sludge Slurper.
Most likly slow deck. Keep Hex.
Look for Hagatha the Witch.
Against Rogue and Warrior I would also keep Harrison Jones, as that decks have quite important weapons.
I'm working on something similar. I don't have the elektra though.
I need to build a few cards for it still, I will pick up elektra when I can.
I don't have shudderwok yet neither. I was going to craft that today, but if I want to play control I need the spells and stuff first.
you reckon it will fair ok without those 2 cards for now, or should I just craft shuderwok now for my murlocs and then craft the control bits later.
I'm a bit stuck on what order to craft stuff in tbh.
I think the deck also functions well without those cards. Actually, as I mentioned in the guide, I put Electra out, as it has not performed as well as I thought it would. Shudderwock is good to have, but often he doesn´t do that much as you might think. The only important card for the late game is Hagatha the Witch. As long as you have it, your fine and then you can choose, what you want for your top end. I just think that Shudderwock and Swampqueen Hagatha is probably the best choice.
The question is also, since I had some problems with other control decks, even with the addition of Archivist Elysiana, that you focus more on crushing the aggro decks, in which case you don´t need that much top end (maybe some more taunts instead). But it depends obviously on how the meta evolves.
aye I want to get alysiana asap as well. I built a control shaman mainly to beat all the aggro decks while I'm laddering though. I'm not concerned about the control miror right now as I have decks that counter control already. If I play enough this month to ladder high enough to see a lot of control decks, I'll worry about it then.
I built this anyway for now. it's good at whats it's supposed to do.
They're actually quite similar though after comparing them side by side.
What about putting in healing?
Great video. Thank you very much for sharing it!
Year, Control Shaman seems well positioned right now. There are probably many directions to build a controlling shaman deck. I like my list especially against aggro decks. And with my latest addition of Archivist Elysiana, you can have also some good play against other control decks.
Nice deck. I tried it out and was able to win against token druid.
Any replacements for Swampqueen Hagatha?
Swampqueen Hagatha is probably in some way important, but not the most important card in the deck. Without it, you loose one of the best ways to generate value and the possibility of a huge board swing. Additionally Shuderwock gets way worse. To replace it I would suggest Kragwa, the Frog. It fulfills a similar role, but I think it´s a bit worse and more situationally. Or else you can play again the second Fire Elemental.
Great concept, I love decks like this. I'd be interested to try either not running Hagatha's Scheme since you already have Lightning Storms and Hagatha the Witch in this midrange deck. BUT I get that you wanted to make it more control oriented so if that's the case, I think you would need to add Storm Chasers to get those Hagatha's Scheme and help add some card draw because I think currently it might be a little inconsistent due to lack of card draw.
In the first build of the deck I had a Storm Chaser but replaced it, since I wasn´t sure, if it´s worth it with only two targets. But as you said, the deck lacks a bit of card draw, so maybe it´s right to play it.
As I thought about, how I want to adress the late game, I thought that both Hagathas plus Shudderwock is enough. Interestlingly I haven´t played against much control decks and indeed against no Warrior. This might be one reason, why my record was so good.
But in order to be also good against Control, Archivist Elysiana might be worth it.
So will try a list with one Archivist Elysiana and one Storm Chaser, instead of one Fire Elemental and the Electra Stormsurge.
I've been playing similar deck, and yes it's great against aggro/midrange deck. But I just can't win against warrior.. How do you handle them?
I think there's a way to weave in Archivist Elysiana it would great increase your odds, you get double value off her in those late late game if you play Shudderwock after her, and Archivist Elysiana or Shudderwock will remove bombs from your deck.

The data is not sent to our servers unlike other time you track in the app.
YEEESSS!! It’s what I needed for years! I can remove RescueTime now.
Could you also track what person I was chatting with in Slack, Telegram, FB Messenger (how long was this chatroom in focus?) Is it anyway to get this information via SDK methods?
Do you know any apps that support it?
TAT! I just paid a one-year RescueTime premium account!!! Sad!
I released POC of the feature only 1 day ago and started getting feedback already. Users like it but they also ask important questions. The most important is how to integrate it with manually tracked time when desktop activities are mapped to Types. How to display it in history? How statistics should be calculated? I don’t know the answer.
I track my study time. I also set “Study” activity type to XCode application, “Messaging” for Telegram app and “Surfing” for browser activities. I started “Study” activity manually and opened XCode (I’m studying iOS development). In 30 minutes I got message in Telegram and I had to reply quickly. What happens with “Study” type in this case? Does it need to be paused and resumed when user is back to XCode?
Direct mapping of desktop app activities to manual activities is bad idea in my opinion. There’re lot of data and displaying it in History is painful.
That’s only idea in my mind. It’s not clear how to calculate the stats - use actual/manual study or let user choose ?
I appreciate any ideas and proposals.
When to support the tomato work method?
Mac app Automatic tracking is not working.
When, I select operation in safari browser tacking list show in below image.
Is there are bug or other problem ?
So, what should I need to do ?
This automatic tracking is very excellent. I love it. Thank you so much.I tried, combine a automatic tracking type and a manuel type on Desktop. And It seen activities very perfect on desktop But I don’t see desktop activities on iOS app. do you have a plan to do this.

>It’s not often that I get to tell you about a book I read, so savor the flavor, folks. Usually, if it’s not in an email, a report at work, or on the back of a cereal box, I aint reading it.
However, I do love to read – it’s just hard to tear myself away from the TV some evenings and curl up with a book. Reading requires brainpower, and usually I am running on about 1% of it when I get home in the evenings. That’s just enough to watch a couple of Hills re-runs…but not read a book.
Anyways, I did manage to read “The Help” by Kathryn Stockett which has been on my “to read” list (with about 37 other books) for quite a while.
Lots of you have already raved about this book – but for those of you that haven’t – join the club. It was SO good.
It’s set during the civil rights movement in Mississippi in 1962, and explores the relationships of white women and their families, and their maids.
Really interesting book and you get so sucked into the characters.
What perfect timing for this optimistic, uplifting debut novel set during the nascent civil rights movement in Jackson, Miss., where black women were trusted to raise white children but not to polish the household silver. Eugenia Skeeter Phelan is just home from college in 1962, and, anxious to become a writer, is advised to hone her chops by writing about what disturbs you. The budding social activist begins to collect the stories of the black women on whom the country club sets relies and mistrusts enlisting the help of Aibileen, a maid who’s raised 17 children, and Aibileen’s best friend Minny, who’s found herself unemployed more than a few times after mouthing off to her white employers. The book Skeeter puts together based on their stories is scathing and shocking, bringing pride and hope to the black community, while giving Skeeter the courage to break down her personal boundaries and pursue her dreams. Assured and layered, full of heart and history, this one has bestseller written all over it.

text: West Coast Porting is building one of the first Yamaha GPR big bore, stroker motors on EFI with Factory Triple Pipes !!!! This is our "stealth ski" on our services page. Started out as an 06' non power valve 1300. Last motor was a big bore 1400cc power valve engine we ported and built. That motor made big power and unreal speeds at 4100' in elevation!

Trinity House, London. January 10, 2017: Gavin Reid, a 28-year old adventurer who took part in last year’s Clipper Round the World Yacht Race for amateur sailors, has been rewarded for his heroic mid-ocean rescue of a sailor found trapped at the top of the mast on another yacht with the 2016 boats.com YJA Yachtsman of the Year Award.
15-year old Elliott Kuzyk from Poole, Dorset won the 2016 boats.com YJA Young Sailor of the Year Award after winning the 2016 Topper World Championship.
Gavin Reid, whose family home is in Bideford Devon, but now works in Cambridge, was crewing on board the Clipper 2015-16 Round the World Yacht Race entry Mission Performance when an SOS was picked up off the New South Wales coast of Australia from a yacht returning from the Sydney Hobart Race, which had a crewman stuck at the top of the mast.
Mission Performance was competing in the Henri-Lloyd Hobart to Whitsunday’s leg of the Clipper Race and was nearest to the stricken vessel. Gavin who is profoundly deaf and had zero sailing experience prior to signing up for the Clipper Race, volunteered to swim between the two yachts and found four other crew onboard all incapacitated and unable to help their crewmate who had been tangled in halyards at the top of the mast for several hours.
The runners up are 18-year old 29er class dinghy sailors Tom Darling from Kettering and Crispin Beaumont from Halesowen, and 15-year old powerboat champion Thomas Mantripp from Lowestoft.

There are different styles of freestyle and frontcrawl. Mark favours a more open water and triathlon swim stroke, whereas Heather favours a pool stroke. Which is more efficient and which stroke should you be using in your next triathlon?
So what is the difference between Mark and Heather's front crawl strokes? The over the water recovery phase has the most notable contrast. In the pool stroke, the elbow typically exits the water before the hand, and then it's fingers first as the hand enters the water. An open water stroke tends to be quicker, has a straighter arm recovery and is similar to a windmill action.
Which stroke do you use?

A couple of words on the work at "Caracat from our VIPLEO® kennel" program. It turns, that we are the first in the world obtaining the CITIES for Caracat F1! The first legal caracat kittens with a full package of documents were born in our kennel! Besides, all caracat kittens born in our VIPLEO® kennel have a state certificate of birth of the first generation hybrids from caracal (caracal and a domestic cat) and second generation hybrids (female of the first generation hybrid from caracal and a domestic cat)!
All F1 and F2 caracat kittens are registered with TICA, and it is more than 30 individuals. We manage to get very beautiful and large caracat kittens according to the experimental breed standard. Moreover, we are waiting for replenishment soon! We have been conducting an intensive work at the "Caracat" program, i.e. publications in journals, internet resources, participation in exhibitions and TV programs, and yet a lot of interesting work is ahead. We are growing up female caracats F2 in a very nice style and color in our kennel, and we hope to get beautiful and large caracats F3 from them soon. Suitable males for F3 and further F4 program are growing up, too. We have a lot of developments and plans for the future. We will continue to inform you about our kennel work under the "Experimental Caracat Breed" program.

text: I had my eyes messed up by a plastic surgeon who overstepped his professional bounds by reattaching ligaments of my lower lids and causing adhesions that locked up my eye mobility. I've gone to many eye docs, who looked and said "You're okay..." when I was in REAL danger of getting into car accidents because I kept seeing double in my peripheral vision and could not judge speed or trajectory of other vehicles unless they were in forward vision. After FIVE YEARS of begging doctors who didn't have the skills or the guts to try to correct my problems, Dr Carey has taken this on in a very cautious approach that has resulted in one eye (so far) regaining complete mobility, and he is about to do the other. You have NO idea how devastating and debilitating loss of eye mobility is until your eyes are locked up and you realize you are in real danger of getting killed due to loss of full visual fields bilaterally. Thank you Dr Carey, I am SO SO grateful!!! You're my hero!

Over the summer of 2015, I had an opportunity to sit down with Dr. Elizabeth de Michelis and discuss the emerging field of academic study on Modern Yoga.
Our discussion led to the creation of the diagram, Typology of Modern Yoga, which is based on the classification model first developed by Dr de Michelis in her important book, A History of Modern Yoga. This diagram aims to be a helpful tool for understanding the ever-evolving types of Yoga practised today and it explains the original coining of the term Modern Postural Yoga (MPY), which has become widely used within the Yoga community.

first of all, thank you for this very clear and interesting post.
I was wondering under which category would you put Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bajan. (I would put it either under MPsY or MMY) It is hard to find any reference to this kind of yoga in the publications that followed De Micheli's work and (since it appears to me as a big movement) I can't figure out why: can you help me?
Thanks for sharing this great work. I love reading blogs, articles related to yoga. I appreciate your work.
I would like suggest the name of Tattvaa Yogashala, Rishikesh for best Yoga teacher training certification course affiliated to Yoga Alliance USA.
This picture is conceptualization and has a little to do with yoga itself. Many times it seems that western "scholars" are somehow making their monthly salary by these kind of things without going anywhere from the surface of yoga. Cannot even recognize here the ashtanga yoga that for example Manju Jois or Sharath Jois or other seniors teach.
Indeed, this is a model for understanding the landscape of trans-national yoga offerings. It is not describing yoga teachings or practice. The ashtanga yoga of Jois fits into this model as an example of Modern Postural Yoga (MPY). You are incorrect to assume 'that western scholars are somehow making their monthly salary by these kind of things'. I am not paid at all for my research and writings on The Luminescent. If you appreciate my work, please consider giving a donation.
Then, and thanks for making the effort. However this case of ashtanga actually doesn't fit to that model. The emphasis to the postural practice is from the west not from the source itself. When studying with any senior teacher, specially Indian ones, the emphasis is in Patanjalis model of eight limbed yoga with different forms of practical practices such as asanas, mantras, reading philosophy or pranayamas. Yes, it can also be a strong practise but it's not the point or emphasized according to Manju, Sharath or Masterji. I believe guruji had different forms of teaching for different people. He was also a scholar. With bad english taught also a lot of asanas and was many times misundersood according to Sharath. For many western people it can be mainly sports like practice and fitness studios are also teaching it because of it's therapeutical and demanding postures. Still the main point is elsewhere and it's mainly not understood in the west. Like other yoga it's also sold with marketing language and many of "famous" ashtanga teachers are more or less physically advanced practitioners and only teach this kind of postural yoga as you say. Still to understand the actual form or lineage it's recommended to study it with a guru. With this kind of "Typology" maps this yoga is undervalued and not understood correctly. If you have personally studied it more than 10 years and also studied with the gurus of it, then we have just heavily different point of view. But I think this typology thing only stays same level than the people going to fitness studios doing zumba or some yoga related sports. You can add yin, yang, flow this, flow that, beer dog, cat and other yoga as well then. Keep up the good work.
Nice post. Thanks for Sharing valuable information.
So where does Baron Baptiste's Power fit in? All all other Flow varieties including "Body Balance" (Tai Chi + Yoga or Chi Kung + Yoga), Dance Yoga, etc????

If a MI player wins Saturday's $625 million jackpot, it would be the largest Powerball jackpot ever won in the state. Lawson's jackpot holds the record for the largest Lottery prize ever won in MI.
A customer buys Powerball tickets at Kavanagh Liquors in San Lorenzo, California, Jan. 13, 2016. On Aug. 15, 2012, Donald Lawson, of Lapeer, won a $337 million Powerball jackpot. The cash option is about $30.2 million. About $91.3 million of that would go to federal taxes.
Unclaimed Powerball tickets may be entered into the New York Lottery Player's Club within 60 days of purchase for a second chance to win cash, points or prizes.
Players pick six numbers from two separate pools of numbers - five different numbers from 1 to 70 and one number from 1 to 25 - or select Easy Pick. You can get a hundred bucks by matching either four white balls or three white balls and the Powerball, and if you match four white balls plus the Powerball you'd get $50,000.
· There were 251,760 tickets sold that won at least $4 in the drawing. You'll get this if you match one white ball and the Powerball OR if you just match the Powerball.

To Understand Your Strengths and Weaknesses You Must Track Where Your New Clients Are Coming From.
Intravet and many other vet software programs allow your receptionist to note how the customer heard about you when setting up the new record. This is an invaluable method of getting an idea of your return on investment. Otherwise you are “flying blind”- a good way to lose money. Any good veterinary practice marketing includes accurate tracking of where your new patients are coming from and a plan to push for referrals as hard as possible.
1. Make sure that your system has this option and set it up with choices for the various kinds of advertising you are doing.
2. Make sure your receptionist knows how to find this option, and let this person know that you are spending thousands of dollars on advertising, and that their job security depends on helping you find the most effect form of advertising.
3. At the end of 1 month, generate the report showing the new clients and where they came from. You should also be able to print out how much income each category generated.
4. Also run the report of total new clients. You will probably see there are more new clients total than those that your receptionist marked! This tells you how seriously you receptionist is taking the job.
5. Look over the paid advertising categories. Internet, Radio, TV, Yellow pages. You will see very quickly what is pulling and what is not. Also you will know how much you are spending on each so it is easy to see where you are getting value for money and where you are getting ripped off.
7. Fill out this short form and get a free consultation on your marketing with recommendations from an expert!
1. Survey Your Clients: Create a simple customer service satisfaction survery. Get your reception to give it to each person as they check them out and ask them to fill it out. Make sure these completed surveys come to you and the good ones get copied onto your website and the bad ones get contacted and addressed.
2. Address All Complaints: Keep a record of all complaints received and ensure that either yourself or your office manager contacts and speaks to each person. Survey after survey has found that simply contacting a dissatisfied client makes a huge difference in what they say about you later. In fact, one survey showed that a percentage of those contacted would continue to use the same provider even though they were not 100% pleased with the service, just because they were contacted and their complaints listened to!
3. Offer A Referral Incentive: A simple printed card offering a small discount on products for referring a friend can increase your referrals significantly. A card or sign is cheap to produce and can do as much as thousands of dollars of more expensive advertising.

The workplace has changed dramatically over the past several years. While in the not so distant past things remained relatively consistent throughout the generations, today's working environment needs to adapt continually or risk becoming obsolete.
New communication and management software such as Skype or Hubspot, among many others, have made it possible for an increasing number of people to work remotely. In fact, more than a quarter of all Americans work, at least occasionally, from home. As a result, some businesses have renounced the traditional office, opting for virtual offices, instead.
For a monthly fee, these offices offer companies a wide range of services including a premium business address, a dedicated phone number, a professional receptionist, business lounge and meeting room access, hot desking, and more, without the need to worry about rent or maintenance costs.
Technology has completely changed the way companies collaborate with each other. With the appearance of cloud technology and various other classes of communication software, interdepartmental collaboration has seen a steep rise in coordination. Today, there is a much higher degree of flexibility in the transfer of information between managers and employees, as well as between various departments. Data can now be accessed at a moment's notice by every authorized individual from anywhere there is an internet connection.
Technology also provides for better competitivity. If in the past, only big corporations had access to celebrities for endorsements. With the rise of social media, things are somewhat different. Micro-influencers, or those people who have a small-to-medium following of Facebook or Instagram, can act as advertisers for various brands and products can’t afford to hire an internationally-known celebrity. While their reach might not be as extensive, these micro-influencers are trusted more by the average consumer, thus, increasing their overall effectiveness and ROI.
By 2021, the 3D printing industry is expected to be worth over $25 billion. The technology works by designing an object on the computer and then having the printer create that object on the spot. The impact this will have on an average workplace is not negligible either. In a study conducted by the Michigan Technological University, a 3D printer, when used in an average household, will pay for itself in six months, with a 986% ROI in five years.
In the workplace, their efficiency and versatility are even more significant. This technology can translate to cost reduction in various areas, such as prototype production, office equipment and others. Depending on the model, this also means that businesses can be much more creative during product development.
In the past, business training revolved mostly around gaining knowledge. In today's environment, however, with ready access to the most extensive and comprehensive library in human history, namely the internet, training is more focused on skills. With the proper skills, employees can access whatever information they need at any time they need it.
In short, the workplace is changing right before our eyes, thanks in large part to technology.

technology has completely changed the way companies collaborate with each other. with the appearance of cloud technology and various other classes of communication software, interdepartmental collaboration has seen a steep rise in coordination. today, there is a much higher degree of flexibility in the transfer of information between managers and employees, as well as between various departments. data can now be accessed at a moment's notice by every authorized individual from anywhere there is an internet connection.
technology also provides for better competitivity. if in the past, only big corporations had access to celebrities for endorsements. with the rise of social media, things are somewhat different. micro-influencers, or those people who have a small-to-medium following of facebook or instagram, can act as advertisers for various brands and products can’t afford to hire an internationally-known celebrity. while their reach might not be as extensive, these micro-influencers are trusted more by the average consumer, thus, increasing their overall effectiveness and roi.
by 2021, the 3d printing industry is expected to be worth over $25 billion. the technology works by designing an object on the computer and then having the printer create that object on the spot. the impact this will have on an average workplace is not negligible either. in a study conducted by the michigan technological university, a 3d printer, when used in an average household, will pay for itself in six months, with a 986% roi in five years.
in the workplace, their efficiency and versatility are even more significant. this technology can translate to cost reduction in various areas, such as prototype production, office equipment and others. depending on the model, this also means that businesses can be much more creative during product development.
in the past, business training revolved mostly around gaining knowledge. in today's environment, however, with ready access to the most extensive and comprehensive library in human history, namely the internet, training is more focused on skills. with the proper skills, employees can access whatever information they need at any time they need it.
in short, the workplace is changing right before our eyes, thanks in large part to technology.

5 Bedroom Detached House For Sale in London for Guide Price £2,500,000.
A large, detached, double-fronted family home and stunning garden, situated on a quiet, residential street in the Westcombe Park Conservation Area.
You cannot help but be astonished as you enter this pristine four/five bedroom, four bathroom architect-designed house. From the spacious hallway you look up to a large double height skylight in the vaulted roof space; straight ahead you glimpse a green expanse of garden through the glass doors of the kitchen/diner. The house has been designed to maximise the sense of openness, light and space, and the glass doors, glass stair panels and windows serve to enhance this.
On the ground floor there is a dual aspect lounge/dining room with contemporary gas fire, feature wall and doors to a balcony. Also on this floor is a gym, which could be used as a bedroom, a WC and access to the integral garage. A few short steps lead to a lower level where there is a light-filled study and utility room on one side, and a shower room on the other. Further steps bring you to a beautiful white tiled contemporary kitchen/diner/living space with sky lights. The kitchen is made up of high gloss units topped with granite work surfaces, integrated appliances and a central island with breakfast bar. There is space for a large dining table as well as a comfortable family space. Bi folding doors stretch the width of the house to reveal the garden, focal point of the whole house. The garden is breath-taking, full of plants, shrubs and trees, and must be one of the widest, lovingly kept and perhaps the prettiest that we have seen to date in the area. There is a large stone patio directly accessed from the kitchen, and a smaller one accessed from the study.
The four double bedrooms are on the first floor of the house. One is being used as a dressing room, one has an en-suite bathroom and another has its own dressing room. There are two further large Duravit bathrooms, one with walk-in shower and one with bath and shower, all with under floor heating and speakers built into the ceilings.
There is off street parking for one or two vehicles and a single garage. There is access to the garden from both sides of the house.

Poll: Which County In Ireland Is Officially The Best Craic?
Last year we ran a poll to find out what county we should get rid of and, after 80,000 votes the majority of you decided Baile Átha Cliath needs to say bye, bye. If you remember this poll, and you're still pissed off where your county placed, it's now time to redeem yourself and your county and wear those colours with pride once again.

Strictly speaking, Brussel sprouts are kosher. In their pure, raw state, all vegetables, fruits, and herbs are kosher. In recent years, however, several kosher certification organizations have taken issue with the humble Brussels sprout, and have informed kosher consumers that they are "not recommended."
So what's the problem with the little cabbages? Vegetables may be kosher, but tolaim, bugs, are not. Historically, the onus has always been on the consumer to wash and inspect produce for worms and bugs before preparing or eating it. But in some communities, certain veggies have essentially become verboten, largely thanks to rabbinical rulings about the status of their inspectability.
According to many Orthodox kashrut authorities, Brussels sprouts are both likely to be infested with bugs, and difficult to check effectively. In fact, though there are published guides outlining how to check various vegetables, Brussels sprouts are one of the only veggies for which inspection instructions are explicitly omitted, even for those ambitious enough to try.
So, while fresh Brussels sprouts haven't been declared non-kosher, in many communities, they're effectively treated as though they are. Frozen Brussels sprouts, however, are another story. A handful of kosher certifiers—most notably Bodek—specialize in produce inspection. The same kosher authorities that advise consumers to avoid fresh Brussels sprouts have given the okay to frozen sprouts with Bodek or similar certification.
Similarly, while whole fresh Brussels Sprouts are considered problematic, some rabbinic authorities make an exception for shredded sprouts. Why the distinction between whole and shredded? As icky as it may sound, bug parts pose a less significant halachic concern than whole bugs.
What's interesting about the Brussels sprouts controversy is that individual practice about using fresh ones definitely varies, even in Orthodox circles. This is evidenced in part by their availability in strictly kosher markets. Seven Mile Market in Baltimore, reportedly the country's largest kosher supermarket, also carries fresh Brussels sprouts. (Seven Mile's website does note that while it "distinguishes itself by carrying only kosher products…consumers must use their own discretion regarding the kashrus status of individual items.") Some people get them in a CSA box.
You can remove several outer leaves, trim the bottoms, quarter the heads, rinse, and inspect the heads very closely (sometimes fanning the leaves if they're not super tight). Discard any heads with worm holes, bugs, black spots, or anything questionable.
Sheridan Gayer, Assistant Director at the Institute for Israel and Jewish Studies at Columbia University, says "I quarter them so that I can check and roast them that way. My mom halves them. Nearly every frum (devout) person I know eats them in their homes, or at least mine, and I think that it's on a mass scale that everyone's worried they won't be checked sufficiently. (If you only knew what cauliflower looked like straight from a field. I find Brussels sprouts so much less offensive.)"

Marzocchi’s top line 888 keeps the titanium springs but adds the latest RC3 damping technology. The bigger bottom end and brace add extra steering stiffness, post-style brake mounts and a proper hose guide.
It also adds a fair dose of extra weight, which makes the air sprung ATA WC the smart racer choice.
Titanium coils make the feel outstandingly ﬂuid, with consistent buttery ground connection right through the stroke.
Initial worries about the high and low speed compression being combined and controlled by a single knob have subsided, now they’ve proved to be impressively controlled.
The volume adjust knob lets you tune end stroke feel and so far they’ve been ﬁt-and-forget.
Our number one choice for freeriders.

There are different themes in myths from different cultures. However, there are themes that are recurrent in myths from different cultures. Such themes occur in myths from many cultures irrespective of their time. Despite the occurrence of such themes in the different cultures, it should be noted that there is no universal theme in all myths.
One of the most common themes in myths is the creation of the world. This theme occurs in many myths from different cultures. Such myths explain about god and the beginning of the earth and life. The theme of creation occurs in many myths that explain how a group of people come to be especially in the place they are today. This theme also explains the economic activity of a group of people and how it has been practiced from time to time by the ancestors of the group. In the cultures that have creation myths the theme of creation tells how life was formed by god and how the universe was organized from its original state of chaos to the now organized state. Details of how animals were created are also covered in many creation myths. The order in which things were created by the supernatural being is also explained (Willis, 1993).
Another theme that is popular in myths from different cultures is the theme of destruction and recreation of the earth. This theme is popular in most religious myths. It explains how god will destroy the earth because of man’s deviance of god. A good example of this theme is in ancient Greek culture which believed that there was the occurrence of seasonal fertility which was a strategy by the gods to regulate recreation. Another example is the case of believe of existence of perfect ages where humanity was at its best before defying god. In such ‘eras’ man was still obedient to god and god loved man for what he was. After man defied god, the perfect world was destroyed and man was moved to a lesser perfect world. This theme is clearly illustrated in the Christian story of existence of Garden of Eden and Hesiod’s Golden Age in the Jewish religion. Other ways that the world will be destroyed common in myths is through floods and fire. This theme occurs in Christian and also in Chinese myths. The Chinese myth of creation and floods by ‘ruwa’ is very similar to the Christian story of creation (Gray, & Moore 1916).
