In this video I’ll share 5 tips I use to increase productivity each week
In Gary Keller’s book The One Thing he refers to a study that indicates “workers are interrupted every 11 minutes and then spend almost 30% of their day recovering from these distractions.” DAMN TRUE.
Ok, so 30% of my day is a total waste (I’d guess more) and the average American works 40 hours…
If I cut the waste, thats 2 hours of savings per day, 12 hours of savings per week, and 576 hours of savings per year!

Study Tip: Recognize the importance of regular review. Review class notes on a daily basis, and set aside review time for each course on a weekly basis. #study #studytip
Can you see any red stain? Just 15 minutes before taking this picture i was drinking an egg. You know how, two holes and off you go, real fast real food. But this time i was a bit too fast, a bit too hard, and the egg went all over my face. And what's worse, all over the jumper that Elske gave me for my birthday. Damn! After throwing the egg away i asked for help to the secretary. She gave me the idea to be the best technician for the job (beside the fact that no one else was there). She looked at the mess and went: sparkling water, but quick, before it dries out. It took me a full 45 cents to buy a small bottle, but the effect was amazing. The egg just went away so easily. And can you see any trace left? Makes me want to wash myself on eggs every day. Don't worry, i wouldn't do it. I can't before 45 cents a day to clean egg stains
photostory tip #9, SPACES AND FACES!
by manipulating the negative space in your pictures, you can tell as much story as you can with your picture without relying on words, and how your character treats that negative space can speak volumes.
negative space is "the space around and between the subject(s) of an image." like in the pic above, negative space is basically anything that isn't the doll. i've touched on this before, with my tip about zooming and cropping. this expands on that a little.
this is not about picture composition or rule of thirds so much as it's about creating a feeling of movement, using the way your readers' eyes follow the picture to your advantage.
if you're trying to show somebody entering an area, for example, you would have them entering the frame with more negative space in front of them. leaving, you would have more negative space behind them. in a way, you can think of it like piecing together a
sentence, by using parts of a picture. like "[character] [surroundings]" would translate to "the character enters the surroundings", while "[surroundings] [character]" could mean "the surroundings no longer have the character in it". i'm trying to simplify this as much as possible; if your character was coming or going from the opposite direction it would
be the same, you are just using your character's back to separate them from the scene they're leaving. if their back is against the edge of the frame, they're entering. (if you want to show their emotional state, show more or less of the face as they're looking back or looking forward. or if they're simply walking, show just the body or very little of the face.)
is there emotional distance between two characters? use the negative space to illustrate that. have them sitting or standing far apart (or you could have one character up close to the camera with the other character far away. the space between them in the frame is technically very small, but you know without seeing it that it's there), maybe increasing or decreasing the distance if their feelings towards eachother change throughout the story.
the goal is to give as much consideration to the surroundings in your pictures as you do to the subjects. how much space is to the left or right of your character says as much as whether or not the character's arms are raised over their head.
Study Tip: Use flow charts and diagrams
Visual aids can be really helpful when revising. #study #studytip
I seem to remember seeing the tipped chair motif before on Flickr. Maybe we should start a group.: ) Or is there one already?
This is an unsent divided postcard - so what does that tell about the date?
I think these are an essential feature of the London taxi. They just add colour and interest to the rear interior.

Common Crane
The common crane (Grus grus), also known as the Eurasian crane, is a bird of the family Gruidae, the cranes.
A medium-sized species, it is the only crane commonly found in Europe besides the demoiselle crane (Anthropoides virgo). Along with the sandhill (Grus canadensis) and demoiselle cranes and the brolga (Grus rubicunda), it is one of only four crane species not currently classified as threatened with extinction or conservation dependent on the species level.
The common crane is a large, stately bird and a medium-sized crane. It is 100–130 cm (39–51 in) long with a 180–240 cm (71–94 in) wingspan. The body weight can range from 3 to 6.1 kg (6.6 to 13.4 lb), with the nominate subspecies averaging around 5.4 kg (12 lb) and the eastern subspecies (G. g. lilfordi) averaging 4.6 kg (10 lb). Among standard measurements, the wing chord is 50.7–60.8 cm (20.0–23.9 in) long, the tarsus is 20.1–25.2 cm (7.9–9.9 in) and the exposed culmen is 9.5–11.6 cm (3.7–4.6 in).
This species is slate-grey overall. The forehead and lores are blackish with a bare red crown and a white streak extending from behind the eyes to the upper back. The overall colour is darkest on the back and rump and palest on the breast and wings. The primaries, the tips of secondaries, the alula, the tip of the tail, and the edges of upper tail coverts are all black and the greater coverts droop into explosive plumes. This combination of colouration ultimately distinguishes it from similar species in Asia, like the hooded (G. monacha) and black-necked cranes (G. nigricollis). The juvenile has yellowish-brown tips to its body feathers and lacks the drooping wing feathers and the bright neck pattern of the adult, and has a fully feathered crown. Every two years, before migration, the adult common crane undergoes a complete moult, remaining flightless for six weeks, until the new feathers grow.
It has a loud trumpeting call, given in flight and display. The call is piercing and can be heard from a considerable distance. It has a dancing display, leaping with wings uplifted.
This species is found in the northern parts of Europe and Asia. Formerly the species was spread as far west as Ireland, but about 200 years ago, it became extinct there. However, it has since started to return to Ireland naturally and there are now plans to help it return to Ireland on a greater scale. The common crane is an uncommon breeder in southern Europe, smaller numbers breeding in Greece, former-Yugoslavia, Romania, Denmark and Germany. Larger breeding populations can be found in Scandinavia, especially Finland and Sweden. The heart of the breeding population for the species is in Russia, however, where possibly up to 100,000 cranes of this species can be found seasonally. In Russia, it is distributed as a breeder from the Ukraine region to the Chukchi Peninsula. The breeding population extends as far south as Manchuria but almost the entire Asian breeding population is restricted to Russia.
The species is a long distance migrant predominantly wintering in northern Africa. Autumn migration is from August to October and spring migration is in March through May. Important staging areas occur anywhere from Sweden and Germany to China (with a large one around the Caspian Sea) and many thousand cranes can be seen in one day in the Autumn. Some birds winter in southern Europe, including Portugal, Spain and France. Most eastern common cranes winter in the river valleys of Sudan, Ethiopia, Tunisia and Eritrea with smaller numbers in Turkey, northern Israel, Iraq and parts of Iran. The third major wintering region is in the northern half of Indian subcontinent, including Pakistan. Minimal wintering also occurs in Burma, Vietnam and Thailand. Lastly, they winter in eastern China, where they are often the most common crane (outnumbering black-necked cranes ten-to-one). Migrating flocks fly in a "V" formation.
It is a rare visitor to Japan and Korea, mostly blown over from the Chinese wintering population, and is a rare vagrant to western North America, where birds are occasionally seen with flocks of migrating sandhill cranes.
In Europe, the common crane predominantly breeds in boreal and taiga forest and mixed forests, from an elevation of sea-level to 2,200 m (7,200 ft). In northern climes, it breeds in treeless moors, on bogs, or on dwarf heather habitats, usually where small lakes or pools are also found. In Sweden, breeders are usually found in small, swampy openings amongst pine forests, while in Germany, marshy wetlands are used. Breeding habitat used in Russia are similar, though they can be found nesting in less likely habitat such as steppe and even semi-desert, so long as water is near. Primarily, the largest number of common cranes are found breeding in wooded swamps, bogs and wetlands and seem to require quiet, peaceful environs with minimal human interference. They occur at low density as breeders even where common, typically ranging from 1 to 5 pairs per 100 km2 (39 sq mi).
In winter, this species moves to flooded areas, shallow sheltered bays, and swampy meadows. During the flightless moulting period there is a need for shallow waters or high reed cover for concealment. Later, after the migration period, the birds winter regularly in open country, often on cultivated lands and sometimes also in savanna-like areas, for example on the Iberian Peninsula.
The global population is 600,000 (2014 estimate) with the vast majority nesting in Russia and Scandinavia. In some areas the breeding population appears to be increasing, such as in Sweden, whereas on the fringes of its range, it is often becoming rare to non-existent. In Great Britain, the common crane became extirpated in the 17th century, but a tiny population now breeds again in the Norfolk Broads and is slowly increasing and a reintroduction has been underway since 2010 for the Somerset levels. In Ireland, it died out as a breeding species in the 18th century, but a flock of about 30 appeared in County Cork in November 2011, and a smaller flock a year later. It was additionally extirpated as a breeder from Austria around 1900, from Hungary by 1952 and from Spain by 1954. The recovering German breeding population of 8,000 pairs is still also a fraction of the size of the large numbers that once bred in the country. Poland has 15,000 breeding pairs, 50 pairs breed in the Czech Republic and 2009 was the first confirmed breeding in Slovakia.
The main threat to the species, and the primary reason for its decline in the Western Palearctic, comes from habitat loss and degradation, as a result of dam construction, urbanisation, agricultural expansion, and drainage of wetlands. Although it has adapted to human settlement in many areas, nest disturbance, continuing changes in land use, and collision with utility lines are still potential problems. Further threats may include persecution due to crop damage, pesticide poisoning, egg collection, and hunting. The common crane is one of the species to which the Agreement on the Conservation of African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds (AEWA) applies.
Ronnie helped pull this 69 inch balck tip shark on the beach. It was caught September 8, 2007 at Indian Beach, NC. It took about 30 minutes to bring in on 20lb line. A blue fish head was used as bait.
Found this pile of shite on my way to work one morning... The sign on the gate beind it has obviously been ignored.
