An Experiment in Husbanding. | tylerwardis Due to a URL change, Facebook erased 450+ previous “likes” on this post. So, regardless if you “liked” it before, please feel free to do so again. Thanks! Over the past year, a few friends and I have had an open conversation about the highs and lows of marriage – specifically how to exploit the high times and avoid the low ones. Along the way, we happened upon a derailing thought from the book “The Garden of Peace” that hypothesizes something like this: If you make your wife priority number one, then all other areas of life prosper. Its a disorienting claim. However, seeing that my recent pattern of caring about work over marriage had produced little more than paying bills and a miserable wife, I figured experimenting with a new way of thought couldn’t hurt. The Experiment. For 31 days, I attempted 3 small things a day to communicate to my wife that she was my priority. Tell her I loved her and one thing I love about her as the absolute FIRST thing I did each day. The Results.

Conditions of Use | Privacy Notice Magic sand Trimethylsilanol These properties are achieved by covering ordinary beach sand, which contains tiny particles of pure silica, and exposing them to vapors of trimethylsilanol (CH3)3SiOH, an organosilicon compound. Upon exposure, the trimethylsilane compound bonds to the silica particles while forming water. The exteriors of the sand grains are thus coated with hydrophobic groups. Magic sand was originally developed to trap ocean oil spills near the shore. This would be done by sprinkling Magic sand on floating petroleum, which would then mix with the oil and make it heavy enough to sink. Magic sand is made in blue, green, or red in colors but appears silvery in water because of a layer of air that forms around the sand, making it unable to get wet. Earliest reference to waterproof sand can be found in a 1915 book called The Boy Mechanic Book 2 put out by Popular Mechanics. References[edit] Jump up ^ G. External links[edit]
Women Need to Realize Work Isn't School - Whitney Johnson and Tara Mohr Academic institutions are churning out ever-more female graduates. But the very skills that propel women to the top of the class in school are earning us middle-of the-pack marks in the workplace. Indeed, a recent study found that women account for 51.4% of middle managers in the U.S. but only 4.2% of Fortune 500 CEO’s. In school, being disruptive might get you sent to the principal’s office, but in business, disruption is a proven path to success, describing innovations that take root at the low end of the market, or create a new market, and then eventually upend an industry. Consider disrupting yourself when it comes to these five areas — areas where the skills you honed as a high-achieving student are likely doing you a disservice in your career: 1. This approach may get you some initial gold stars, but it won’t get you what you really want, which is to be an indispensable player, not just to your boss, but in your industry. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Joshua Bell Joshua David Bell (born December 9, 1967) is an American Grammy Award-winning violinist and conductor. Childhood[edit] Bell was born in Bloomington, Indiana, United States on December 9, 1967. His mother, Shirley, was a therapist. His father, Alan P. Bell began taking violin lessons at the age of four after his mother discovered that her son had taken rubber bands from around the house and stretched them across the handles of his dresser drawer to pluck out music he had heard her play on the piano. Bell studied as a boy first under Donna Bricht, widow of Indiana University music faculty member Walter Bricht.[6] His second teacher was Mimi Zweig, and then he switched to the violinist and pedagogue Josef Gingold after Bell's parents assured Gingold that they were not interested in pushing their son in the study of the violin but simply wanted him to have the best teacher for his abilities. Career[edit] Bell made his Carnegie Hall debut in 1985, at age 17, with the St. Personal life[edit]

Documentary List - The best documentaries to watch online The Viking Warriors The Vikings (from Old Norse víkingr) were seafaring north Germanic people who raided, traded, explored, and settled in wide areas of Europe, Asia, and the North Atlantic islands from the late 8th to the mid-11th centuries. The Vikings employed wooden longships with wide, shallow-draft hulls, allowing navigation in rough seas or in shallow river waters. The ships could be landed on beaches, and their light weight enabled them to be hauled over portages. These versatile ships allowed the Vikings to travel as far east as Constantinople and the Volga River in Russia, as far west as Iceland, Greenland, and Newfoundland, and as far south as Nekor.

Thank you, and may God bless you richly. Below is the transcript of the talk of Dr. Hi good morning to all of you. I’d just begin to say that I’m a typical product of today’s society. Coming from a poor average family, back in those days, I was highly competitive, whether in sports, studies, leadership. So in my recent last years, I was a trainee in ophthalmology, but I was getting impatient, cos I had friends of mine who were going out into private practise, making tonnes of money. So the clinic grew. So, things were doing well. I said, “WAH!!
Procrastination Is Not Laziness I was going to tackle my procrastination problem last weekend but I never got around to it. By Sunday at 5:48 p.m. I realized I had blown it again. But the weekends go by and I never catch up. Sometimes I do sit down early in the day and pound something out, but then I give myself a well-deserved break and that’s usually the end of any productivity. I avoid taking on the real important stuff. The important stuff doesn’t get done, at least not before my procrastinatory tendencies have created an obvious, impending consequence of not doing it, like incurring a fine, really letting someone down, or getting fired. So much of what I want to do isn’t terribly difficult and wouldn’t take a lot of time to get done. Reaching critical levels To some of you this is already sounding familiar. I have lived with this sort of “productivity lag” most of my life, but it only recently hit me that it’s not just run-of-the-mill human busyness. Monday I’ll formally announce Experiment No. 11.
