Working from home is becoming more and more conventional. As well as the traditional home working roles generally associated with self-employed freelancers or small independent businesses, computer and internet based roles are ever on the increase, allowing many workers in many different sectors the opportunity to forgo the full time office life.
As most people who work from home will tell you having a designated workspace within your home is essential.
Bedrooms should be a place of rest. Using this room as your 'office' will only serve to distract you when you should be working, and the room will become less likely to provide the space for rest and relaxation one needs at the end of a hard day's work.
For some this may be difficult as space constrictions often make this the only available room. If this is the case, ensure you choose an area within your living room which can be screened off so that distractions are eradicated.
For those who are really serious about working from home, a separate study or office is the best solution. Click here for design ideas.
Your home office design should obviously include a desk which is big enough to accommodate everything you will use from day to day, a comfortable chair and somewhere to store any files or equipment you need easy / regular access to.
When working from home – especially if running your own business – it's essential that you keep things organised. The right storage solutions will mean you're less likely to lose anything you need for the taxman, or miss deadlines because you're unable to find important documents. Recommended desks.
Home office must haves include sturdy bookshelves or wall shelving, a pin-board cork-board (for keeping notes, tickets and other items safe) a tin or box file for receipts/ invoices etc. and of course a wastepaper bin.
Comfortable armchairs can be a great addition to a home office. Not only will it give clients a place to sit if they need to visit you, it will also give you space to relax while keeping you within your working environment so you're not tempted to turn on your TV.
Some good home office ideas (such as a wall calendar, tea / coffee maker etc.) coupled with the right furniture will make working from home much more productive and enjoyable, helping to put an end to procrastination and inefficacy. Be creative with your home office furniture ideas and you'll find you have a space that you actually want to work in.
Done properly, a good home office design will help you to attain an important work/life balance. You need to be able to shut the door on work when it's time to rest or spend time with your family and in general, use your house for its primary function your home.
Having structured data cabling is a future proof investment. The high bandwidth makes it a reliable infrastructure to allow a business to expand and grow. Having an adaptable IT solution that is able to respond to industry changes is vital and can set you apart from the competition.
What should you do in every office?
Even if you don't have a home office, there are still a number of things you should consider doing.
Many offices have the same problem of finding the right cleaning agency to work with the requirements of their business. For those that are based in Brighton, we suggest Smart Clean for professional office cleaning. See: Office Cleaners in Brighton.

Wisconsin and Minnesota. Disease transmission in both areas is due to the presence of I. scapularis. A third focus, encompassing northern California, Oregon, and Washington, is characterized by a transmission cycle involving a different vector, I. pacificus, the western black-legged tick, which has a relatively low level of infection with B. burgdorferi. I. pacificus feeds frequently on the western fence lizard (Sceloperus occidentalis), which is an incompetent reservoir for the spirochete (Lane et al., 1991), so transmission of the agent to ticks is infrequent. Furthermore, there is little overlap of cohorts (Padgett and Lane, 2001) during the tick's lifecycle - a trait that may impede spirochete transmission from one generation to the next. Since the number of reported cases of Lyme disease in this focus tends to be only about 1 percent of the total cases nationally (CDC, 2004), the following discussion will not address I. pacificus.
In reviewing data on northern populations of I. scapularis, Spielman et al. (1993) noted that relict populations of this tick originally could be found along the terminal moraines that formed as glaciers pushed their way south during the last ice age, then receded about 15,000 years ago (Davis, 1983). The remaining tick populations were isolated and limited to coastal portions of the northeastern US and to the northern Great Plains. In Europe and Asia, terminal moraines also marked areas primarily affected by Lyme disease on those continents (Spielman et al., 1993; Steere, 1994), though the vector tick species are different in these locations.
It is unclear whether I. scapularis populations might once have been more widely distributed in the United States than at present, possibly expanding and declining with white-tailed deer numbers (Spielman et al., 1985), but as recently as the early twentieth century populations of this tick were small. Studies at the time revealed the presence of I. scapularis and f. muris in just a few sites in the northeastern US (Bishopp and Smith, 1937; Cobb, 1942; Smith and Cole, 1943). Later work by Hyland and Mathewson (1961) and Good (1972, 1973) indicated that tick numbers were relatively low and probably had remained localized. For instance, Larrouse et al. (1928) found I. scapularis on Naushon Island in 1926 when they attempted to control American dog ticks (Dermacentor variabilis) there using a parasitic wasp, Ixodiphagus (Hunterellus) hookeri, though I. scapularis was apparently absent, or at least very rare, on the neighboring islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket (Hertig and Smiley, 1937; Spielman et al., 1979). Several museum specimens of I. scapularis collected from New Haven, Connecticut, and from various sites on Long Island, New York, in the 1930s and 1940s also suggest that the species may have been fairly widespread geographically, but with small, isolated populations (Anastos, 1947; Collins et al., 1949; Ginsberg, 1993).
Although cases of Lyme disease likely occurred before the outbreak that began in the 1970s, they were relatively few in number and would have represented localized phenomena, given the highly focal distribution of I. scapularis. Persing et al. (1990) documented the presence of B. burgdorferi DNA in museum specimens of I. scapularis collected on Montauk Point, New York, in the 1940s, and cases of "Montauk knee" and "Montauk spider bite" were probably due to tick bites (Ginsberg, 1993). Marshall et al. (1994) found evidence of B. burgdorferi DNA in mouse specimens collected in Massachusetts during the 1890s, suggesting the presence of an enzootic cycle that would have resulted in infected I. scapularis ticks. Ecological conditions, however, were not right for a widespread increase in Lyme disease cases until the 1970s, though the stage was being set for just such an event centuries earlier as humans opened up the wilderness that marked the landscape of early America. Because the emergence of Lyme disease in the northeastern and midwestern US is so closely associated with the presence of white-tailed deer (Wilson and Childs, 1997; Piesman, 2002), the role of deer in Lyme disease ecology should be reviewed.

We know that with Walt Disney buying out the Fox assets that we'll be seeing the "X-Men" and "Fantastic Four" franchises heading into the Marvel Cinematic Universe but no one from Marvel Studios has had much to comment on this deal so far. As it could always fall apart and has yet to be official, Kevin Feige has been pretty quiet on the subject. In the past, he has even said that they aren't thinking about it until things have become official.
"The truth is, I'm excited for all of them. I'm excited, and it's not just the marquee names you know — there are hundreds of names on those documents, on those agreements. And the fact that Marvel is as close as we may ever get now to having access to all of the characters is something I've been dreaming about for my almost 20 years at Marvel. And it's very exciting.
While we know that the last part of that statement likely is referring to Spider-Man and his related characters and potentially Namor as well, it shows that Feige is looking at this in a big picture sort of way. With the hundreds of names being referenced it is clear that Feige isn't just excited about the "X-Men" and "Fantastic Four" but all of their supporting characters as well.
Of course, these supporting characters are ripe for the picking when it comes to some significant villains and cosmic characters which Marvel Studios has so far been blocked from using. With James Gunn previous push into the cosmic side of Marvels proving a success the fact that the company can soon use the likes of the Silver Surfer and Galactus is just a taste of things to come. With this deal going through we'll see a swarm of villains from Doctor Doom, to Magneto, to Apocalypse, and Annihilus now being on the table as well. Past that, it gives Marvel full rights to the Skrulls and can also allow them to introduce other races such as the Shi'ar Empire and the Brood.
On Earth, it also allows for the likes of Captain Britain and Alpha Flight to get their moments in the spotlight. With S.H.I.E.L.D. gone, at least temporarily, this will allow the studio to further explore superheroes from other countries.
Which of the Fox assets are you most excited to see Marvel Studios gain access to? Are any of the heroes or villains above ones that you'd like to see in future films? Share your thoughts in the comments below, True Believers!

Total exports of US hardwood lumber and veneer to the Middle East and North Africa (Mena) region including Pakistan reached $96.74 million during 2017, according to a statement issued by the American Hardwood Export Council (AHEC), the leading international trade association for the American hardwood industry.
The statistics, which have been compiled from the latest data released from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), reveal a 7 per cent overall increase over 2016 figures.
The announcement was made at the opening of the Dubai WoodShow, which was held last month at the Dubai International Exhibition and Convention Center in Dubai, UAE.
According to the data released, exports of American hardwood lumber reached a value of $75.46 million and a volume of 92,273 cu m, marking an increase of 20 per cent and 17 per cent respectively over 2016.
A closer look at the numbers also revealed that direct shipments of US hardwood veneers to the Mena region during 2017 reached a total value of $21.13 million, falling by 23 per cent over the previous year.
However, American hardwood veneers are also shipped to the region from European countries and China, while veneers are also produced in the region – notably in Turkey – from imported American hardwood logs.
The UAE was the region›s strongest performer last year, with exports of US hardwood lumber to the market rising by 86 per cent in both volume and value to 24,597 cu m and $21.05 million, as compared to the previous year.
This means that over a quarter of all US hardwood lumber shipped to the Mena region was destined for the UAE last year. However, a large percentage of what goes to the UAE is for re-export to neighbouring Gulf markets, as well as to markets further afield.
Nonetheless, a very buoyant construction sector in the UAE ahead of Dubai›s World Expo 2020, is expected to keep demand for American hardwoods at a high level through this year and beyond.
Among the other major destinations for American hardwoods in the Mena region, increases were also seen in exports to Saudi Arabia (up by 10 per cent in volume to 6,539 cu m), and Jordan (up by 12 per cent in volume to 4,395 cu m).
One Mena market that showed remarkable growth in demand for US hardwood lumber last year was Lebanon, to which exports grew by 70 per cent in volume and 61 per cent in value as compared to 2016.
In addition, American hardwood veneer exports to Lebanon also increased by 27 per cent to reach a value of $3.317 million in 2017.

POL251 International Relations Theory
My research interests lie at the intersection of international relations, international development and political theory. I have written widely on relations between western development agencies and developing states, particularly linking development policy and practice with liberal political theory. I am currently engaged in two projects. The first explores the contours of anti-colonial liberalism. The second looks at the implementation of anti-money laundering regimes in developing countries, using the case study of Ghana.

Students, boycott Israel's propagandist youth festival
Israel tells schools not to teach nakba
Israeli Academic Freedom at Risk
Written by admin • Saturday, 21.08.2010, 20:00
Complicity of Israeli Academia
Home » Complicity of Israeli Academia » Israeli Academic Freedom at Risk
Born in Haifa, the son of German-Jewish immigrants who fled during the Nazi period, noted historian Ilan Pappe left Israel in summer 2007, telling London Guardian writer Chris Arnot he began "feeling for a while like public enemy No. 1" for his anti-Zionist views and supporting a boycott against Israeli universities, saying:
"I supported (it) because I believe that without pressure, Israel will not end the occupation….I believe that things would change only if Israel receives a strong message that as long as the occupation continues it would not be a legitimate member of the international community, and that until then its academics, doctors and authors would not be welcome. A similar boycott was imposed on South Africa. It took 21 years, but it eventually led to the end of Apartheid."
Now chairing Britain's Exeter University's history department, he explained by the time he left, the Knesset publicly condemned him and Israel's education minister, Yuli Tamir, wanted him sacked.
In addition, death threats came by mail, email and phone, and his picture once appeared in Israel's "biggest-selling newspaper at the centre of a target," the caption reading: "I'm not telling you to kill this person, but I shouldn't be surprised if someone did."
An environment this hostile got him to leave, the same one today afflicting other Israeli academics, opposing policies they don't accept, nor should anyone respecting the rule of law, democratic freedoms, and equal justice, endangered species in Israel for Jews – non-existent for Occupied Palestinians and Israeli Arab citizens.
On August 17, a Haaretz editorial headlined "Politruks (Russian for political commissars) in academia," citing a report submitted by the extremist hard right Im Tirtzu movement to the Knesset and Education Minister Gideon Sa'ar wanting research prohibited unless it:
"complies with the winds blowing in the Knesset and the street….Evidently the report (wants to spread) fear in the universities, further deligitimizing Israeli intellectuals, and undermining" free expression, research and thought, Haifa University Rector/Professor Yossi Ben-Artzi calling it McCarthyist material academia must reject to stay credible.
On August 10, Haaretz writer or Kashti headlined, "Im Tirtzu threatens boycott of Israeli university over 'anti-Zionist' bias," saying:
It threatened Ben-Gurion University of the Negev President/Professor Rivka Carmi in July "to put an end to (its politics and government department) anti-Zionist tilt" or face a donor boycott and campaign to "advise political science students to stay away from the university." Im Tirtzu (IT) gave Carni one month to comply.
Heads of all Israeli universities responded saying:
"No Israeli university has to prove its staff's love of their homeland to any organization, and certainly not to a political one that is trying to present a tendentious, manipulative document as 'research' to advance its own public relations."
Ben-Gurion's Professor David Newman, a tireless Israeli academic boycott campaigner, said IT's threat is "a clear attempt to threaten the university in an era of diminishing financial resources," calling its accusations "very far from the truth."
IT charged 11 permanent faculty members for their "radical left-wing" political activities, six for signing a letter supporting refusal to serve in the military, and two research fellows for their "anti-Zionist worldview." Professor Neve Gordon was included for advocating a "social, economic and political boycott of Israel."
In addition, IT called the department's course syllabi heavily (tilted) toward "anti-national and anti-Zionist content," adding:
The department's large number of "anti-Zionist" faculty "arouses grave suspicions that the main basis for acceptance into and promotion within the department is not professional, but political."
Further, Carni was accused of "apathy that has enabled an academic dictatorship to overpower academic freedom."
Ben-Gurion University didn't respond directly, but called the accusations "scandalous," saying they violate "everything that is sacred to academia. The very act of responding to (Im Tirtzu) would give this right-wing organization legitimacy." It deserves condemnation instead.
On August 19, Haaretz writer Or Kashti headlined, "Right-wing groups join forces to fight 'anti-Zionist bias' in Israeli academia," saying:
Besides Im Tirtzu (IT), Institute for Zionist Strategies (IZS) founding chairman, Israel Harel, "recently drafted a report that accused academic institutions of propagating 'post-Zionist bias' in their sociology departments….The campaign….by the two groups has evoked a firestorm of criticism from educators and university administrators," the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities stating:
"In a democratic state, we must vigorously defend with all available means the independence of academic institutions. As such, we cannot accept attempts by external and foreign bodies to intervene in appointing faculty members, determining curricula, and the manner in which material is taught."
Democratic freedoms have greatly eroded under Netanyahu's extremist government, including by the Knesset's proposed Loyalty Oath bill, requiring all Israeli citizens, including Israeli Arabs, swear allegiance to a "Jewish, Zionist, and democratic State," its emblems and values, and perform military or civic service as a condition for a national identity card signifying citizenship.
On July 20, Israel's cabinet approved it, Netanyahu praising a way to maintain Israel's "Jewish and democratic character." The Israeli Association for Civil Rights condemned it, calling it "racist (and) dangerous." The Adalah Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel said it would impede family reunifications and pressure non-Jews to support Zionism, effectively renouncing their heritage by doing so.
Other human rights groups and independent observers call Netanyahu's government Israel's most extremist ever, governing far to the right of center, partnered with Yisrael Beitenu, Israel's ultra-right party under Deputy Prime Minister/Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, an untranationalist/revisionist Zionist, a man Haaretz called "unrestrained and irresponsible."
A July 18 Haaretz editorial called the loyalty oath "an attempt to light a societal fuse," saying forced allegiance amounts to "tarring several large communities with disloyalty (unjustly) and opening a dangerous channel for revoking citizenship," repressively and arbitrarily, "though that may be precisely what a number of coalition lawmakers would like most."
It may also target dissident academics, Jewish ones, unwilling to pledge loyalty to lawless Israeli practices or relinquish their right to condemn them – to freely express opinions, bedrock democratic values, without fear of recrimination, including loss of citizenship.
Expressing concern, Tel Aviv University's Professor David S. Katz said "we are entering a McCarthyite phase – and I do not exaggerate….There is legislation being discussed that would limit freedom of expression in universities. The education minister has expressed satisfaction with a report that looks at the course content of professors, sniffing out 'anti-Zionist' ideology. The Knesset Education Committee (backs it). It is very bad indeed, and the universities have done little to reject this, apart from" Haifa University Rector Yossi Ben-Artzi, "who was very forthcoming."
Many academics are at risk, like Tel Aviv University's Rachel Giora for strongly supporting the Global BDS (boycott, divestment, sanctions) movement, backing Palestinian liberation, and being vocally critical of Israeli lawlessness. Others like her include Hebrew University Professor Nurit Peled-Elhannan, peace activist recipient of the Sakharov Prize for Human Rights and Freedom of Speech, and one of the Russell Tribunal on Palestine's founders.
Also Professor Jeff Halper, co-founder and Coordinating Director of the Israeli Committee Against Home Demolitions (ICAHD) who's organized and led nonviolent direct protests and civil disobedience against Israel's repressive occupation.
Ben-Gurion University Professor Neve Gordon got death threats for supporting BDS, more still for criticizing the Gaza Flotilla massacre, saying "When I walk on campus people ask in jest if I am wearing a bullet proof vest." Regarding loyalty, he says "the appropriate chant is not 'No citizenship without loyalty!' but rather 'Loyalty to every citizen!' "
He and many others defend speech and academic freedoms, hundreds of professors petitioning against Education Minister Gideon Sa'ar intention to punish university lecturers and institutions for freely using them, stating:
"If the higher education system in Israel wants to maintain a high quality, it must also include opinions that are not acceptable to everyone, social and political criticism, and critical and even controversial research and instruction….We have different and varied opinions about solving the difficult problems facing Israel, but there is one thing we are agree on – freedom of expression and academic freedom are the very lifeblood of the academic system."
State measures subverting them violate core democratic principles, inviolable ones essential to defend, preserve, and challenge anyone acting against them.
Among those signing were Haifa University Rector Professor Ben Artzi, Israel Prize laureates Professors Benjamin Isaac and Yehoshua Kolodny, and former education minister, Professor Yuli Tamir. Netanyahu's extremist government opposes them, intolerant of internal opposition, even scholars, intellectuals, and universities demanding speech and academic freedoms.

Help Mr. Strange to solve the following problem: "Find the maximum number of positive divisors of all integers in the interval from 1 up to and including N (1≤N≤4242)". Since it is Mr. Strange who solves the problem, the situation is complicated by the fact that he dislikes number P. Therefore, you should not find the actual maximum number of divisors of all possible numbers from 1 to N, but the maximum number of divisors only for numbers from 1 to N, which are not divisible by P.
The result for each of the T data sets should be written on separate lines. The results for the intervals [1, Ni] should be space-separated.
Explanation. In each data set you are asked to find the maximal number of divisors for numbers in intervals [1, 8] and [1, 42]. If Mr. Strange dislikes P=13, the maximum number of divisors is 4 and is reached for the numbers 6 (divisors 1, 2, 3 and 6) and 8 (divisors 1, 2, 4 and 8); the maximum number of divisors 9 is reached for the number 36. If Mr. Strange dislikes P=6, numbers 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42 are prohibited. So, the same maximum 4 is reached only for the number 8; no number in the interval [1, 42] has 9 divisors, but the maximum number 8 is reached for the number 40.

Happy Easter darlings! In the spirit of this wonderful celebration i hope you are happy,blessed and thankful. For today our lord Jesus christ is risen and our hope for sslvation is sure.
To help us celebrate better, i will like to throw more light on the essence of Easter and why we celebrate it as christians.
Easter celebration simply put is all about the DEATH and RESSURECTION of our lord Jesus Christ and a reminder of our redemptive blessings which includes salvation of souls, healing, deliverance, mercies, material provision, wisdom, strength and honour which are also the long lasting effect of Easter.
The resurrection of Christ is the anchor of the Christian faith; for the purpose of his death would not have been complete if he did not rise again.
Furthermore its a reminder and celebration of the devil's defeat forever.
The devil lost all the power he had over Christians the day Jesus resurrected and an understanding of this empowers us as Christians to challenge the enemy and exercise our authority over him in every areas of our life in Jesus name.
Easter is more than eating and drinking , its a day to praise God and thank him for his great wisdom for salvation.
Therefore don't make it only about exchanging gifts,Eating or spending time with family and loved ones but also a time to Celebrate Jesus,reconnect with him and appreciate the redemptive power of his resurrection.
Have a beautiful Easter celebration and may his resurrection be the beginning of great things in your life bring to life every testimony that you desire.
Thanks Nnamdi,I appreciate. Have a blessed day cheers!


"Wow over 10 Years dealing with Roxanne Stones at TCH Leasing what can I say but, 'fantastic!' As a company, we have tried several ways of funding the company vehicles, either by renting, purchasing, and using different companies to supply contract hire vehicles.
We have found TCH Leasing to be the best option for our business, reasonably priced, fair on over-mileage and damage recharges, and local to us in Yorkshire.
"Roxanne Stones is a brilliant account manager, so good in fact, I count Roxanne as one of my friends. Roxanne sorts everything out and gets me the best deal. Apparently, loyalty is dead, but I don't think so. When the Banking Crisis of 2008 was in full apocalyptic meltdown and our previous vehicle lender who we also banked with would not supply any additional vehicles, Roxanne stepped in to save the day.
"We deal through the Local Trust Ford Dealer which is in a good, easy to get to location and has all the Ford facilities under one roof. They have a great range of vehicles and are reliable as well.
"Roxanne also introduced me to Stewart from RAM Tracking, we had had tracking systems on vehicles before but these were expensive and not very reliable. This system is just what we need, wired to the vehicle and records the mileage. It also lets me know when the engineers get home so it complies with lone worker safety and you can check on mileage so I can easily adjust any mileage in the leasing contract.
"Again, Roxanne introduced me to James Barrett at FMG accident management. We signed up and fortunately (or unfortunately) I was having to use FMG services within a fortnight as a drunk driver drove at speed through a red traffic light and hit our vehicle in Scotland. This would normally result in me having to recover the vehicle back to West Yorkshire and arrange repairs. This time FMG arranged everything, including collecting the vehicle, delivering a hire vehicle, repairing the vehicle and returning it.
All in all a great team!"

Thank you bibbyskitchenat36.com for this awesome recipe, so looking forward to trying it out!
Cream the butter and castor sugar together. Add the vanilla, whole egg and extra yolk. Beat until light and fluffy.
Sift the flour, salt, baking powder and spices together. Add the dry ingredients to the butter and mix until the dough comes together.
Turn onto a floured board and press together lightly. Wrap in cling film and chill for at least an hour.
Preheat the oven to 180C. Line 2 baking sheets with baking paper.
Roll the dough out on floured board to a 3mm thickness. Cut out as many cookie rounds possible. Arrange half the rounds on one baking sheet. This will form the base.
To make the tops, press out a centre shape with a smaller cookie shape. Place the cut-outs on the second tray. Transfer both trays to the fridge and chill for about 30 minutes. Bake for 12-14 minutes until slightly golden and crisp. Cool on a wire rack.
Dust the cut-outs with icing sugar. Sandwich the base and tops together with a scant teaspoon of jam.


Growing Alfalfa Sprouts at Home – Fun & Easy!
We covered growing sunflower sprouts in our last post. This time I will explain how to grow alfalfa sprouts. They are very easy to grow and cost effective! Two tablespoons of those tiny little seeds can fill a whole half gallon glass jar.
Select high quality organic seeds for sprouting and soak them for twelve hours. I usually soak mine in the evening so they are ready to go the next morning. This post covers alfalfa sprouts but the method will work for any small seeds like clover, broccoli, and radish. You can even mix them together. After soaking rinse the seeds twice and you are ready to grow!
Growing the sprouts is very simple. You have several options of what to grow them in. They make sprouting systems that you can purchase but I use a mason jar or even a sprouting bag (http://www.e3live.com/all_products/nut_milk_sprouting_bag.html). A sprouting bag is very simple to use. You hang it near your sink and simply rinse it several times each day to water your sprouts. A mason jar needs a lid that allows you to rinse and drain the water without losing any seeds. You can purchase one or fit some screen or cheesecloth under the ring of the jar. When using a glass jar make sure you keep it at an angle with the opening down so the extra water can drain out to help prevent mold. One tablespoon of seeds should give you approximately 1 ½ cups of sprouts.
Keep your sprouts moist and out of direct sunlight for the first four to five days. When they are close to the size you want for eating (1/2 to 1 inch) put them in a window for the next day or two so they can use the sunlight to turn dark green. When you are ready to harvest your sprouts (1 ½ to 2 inches) give them a final rinse and let them dry. There is no cutting or extra step involved with your smaller seed family. They will keep in your fridge for five to seven days. Store them in a container with a paper towel to absorb extra moisture and keep them crisp.
Growing Sprouts Can Be Fun & Easy!
We've covered why growing sprouts is good for you in a previous post, but I wanted to share how easy of a process it is to grow them. In this post I'm going to cover sunflower sprouts. This is my absolute favorite to grow and eat. They are rich in chlorophyll, protein and nutrition. Add them to your salad or even a wrap. My kids eat them right out of the bag!
Purchase high quality organic seeds for sprouting. Not only are they healthier and chemical free, but I find there is a higher sprouting rate with the organic seeds. Store them in a cool or cold dry location and plan to use them within two years. The longer you store them the lower your germination rate will be. That means that not as many of your seeds will sprout.
To grow your sprouts first you must soak your seeds for at least eight hours. Soaking your seeds will bring them out of dormancy so they are ready to grow. I soak mine overnight, or even up to twenty-four hours, depending on the type of seeds. Rinse the seeds and make sure they are clean (no rocks, sticks, empty shells) – then put them in a mason jar. The amount of seeds you soak and grow will depend on the size of your jar and tray you are planting them in. If you use a full size gardening flat you can expect to plant approximately three quarters of a cup of seeds per tray. If you don't have a special sprouting lid, any other type of mesh product will work. Use a ring on your jar to hold the mesh over the opening. Our nut milk and sprouting bags work well for rinsing seeds. Rinse your seeds twice and fill the jar with water. I take an extra step and soak the seeds with a tablespoon of liquid kelp to increase the germination rate. You can also add food grade hydrogen peroxide to your soaking water to sanitize the seeds.
mine) and evenly spread them on your tray. Water them and cover the tray with another tray or a damp paper towel.
Sprouts do not need a lot of special care. After two to three days you can remove their cover and a bright window will provide them enough light. Keep them moist by watering them once or twice per day. You do not want them to be too wet or they will grow mold.
Harvest your sunflower sprouts before their second set of leaves have fully developed. It's best not to water them the night before you harvest so they are dry – which makes it easier to pull off any remaining seed hulls and they will also last longer if they are not damp. To harvest your seeds cut them off close to the soil line with a sharp knife or scissors. Brush off any hulls and discard discolored sprouts. Store them in a plastic bag with a paper towel to draw away any excess moisture. Sunflower sprouts should last in your fridge for about a week (unless you eat them sooner!).
Growing sprouts is easy! The time and effort you put in to them is minimal other than harvesting, and the resulting fresh food is worth it! Next time I will cover growing alfalfa sprouts. What are your favorite sprouts to eat?
Growing Sprouts at Home – Easy & Delicious!
Sprouts are the delicious and crunchy. They are plants grown from edible seeds (usually alfalfa, clover, sunflowers, but your options are endless) that are grown anywhere from a few days to a week. They are very nutritious and can be included in almost any diet for health benefits. Growing your own sprouts is really easy and worth the effort! Here are some things to consider if you are new to growing your own.
Sprouts don't take a lot of space – sprouts can be grown in the smallest of spaces in your kitchen. You have several options including sprouting trays, kits or even just a mason jar. Sprouting doesn't require direct light or an overly warm space. Pick a spot near water and a window and you will have sprouts in no time! Our sprouting/straining bags also work great and are reusable: http://www.e3live.com/all_products/nut_milk_sprouting_bag.html.Sprouting is less expensive – sprouting your own seeds is much cheaper than buying sprouts at the store. For the same several dollars you would pay for a small container, you could purchase enough seed to grow many times the amount of fresh sprouts. You can also customize your blend of seeds to match your preference or needs.Sprouts don't take a lot of time – sprouts grow quickly and easily. Make sure they are watered on a regular basis and ignore them until they are ready to eat. They are one of the most rewarding things to grow and you can set a routine to provide them to you weekly. It's much quicker than waiting on a garden.
Sprouts are delicious – fresh sprouts are amazingly delicious and nutritious! These barely grown plants pack a nutritional punch that can be enjoyed on sandwiches, salads, and even in smoothies. Most sprouts are mildly flavored and have a nice crunch to them. We will show in an upcoming post how to grow some sprouts from start to finish.
Growing sprouts is a great way to extend your food budget and improve your health. Give it a try! You'll be amazed at how simple it is. What kind of sprouts do you enjoy growing? We'd love to hear about your sprouting adventures in the comments below.
Straw Bale Gardening – Grow a Garden Almost Anywhere!
Have you ever wanted to build a raised bed for your garden but didn't have the materials or enough money? Gardening in straw bales is a cheaper and eco-friendly alternative. It may sound unusual but it's extremely effective and reduces the amount of labor it takes to garden.
Straw is cost effective: Straw bales are cheap. You can get them from your local feed store or farmer. Straw (not hay you feed to animals) is animal bedding and usually ranges from four to six dollars for a large bale. They should be yellow in color and free of mold.
It is Versatile: Location is actually one of the easiest things to work out when you are using straw. You can put a straw bale almost anywhere the sun shines for most of the day. If you do not have any room in your yard you can even put them on the concrete of your driveway. You can also stack them and grow your garden vertically. Simply plant your plants on the sides of the bales instead of the tops.
Make sure to prepare your straw: Place your straw in the desired location (make sure you don't want to move it because they are heavy when wet!) You want to put a sprinkler on them for the day and thoroughly soak them. Be sure the leave the strings holding them together on. One the second day cover the top of your bale with a high nitrogen source (I use my own composted manure from chickens) and gently water it into the straw. Let it sit dry the next day and then continue to water your straw for the next one to two weeks. Within a few days your straw should start to decompose on the inside and heat up. Do not plant your plants until the straw goes through its hot cycle and starts to cool down (about two weeks).
It is Simple: Planting is easy. You can top your straw with some soil and direct sow your seeds or you can transplant your plants. Use a screwdriver to pull out enough straw for your root ball. Make it somewhat larger and add some extra soil to give the roots an easy place to grow. I use the extra straw I pulled out as a water saving mulch around the base of the plants. Water heavily until your plants are well established. Then you should be able to water every few days. Straw stores an amazing amount of water!
You should be able to grow three large plants or up to eight smaller ones per bale. You can also plant herbs on the sides. Straw makes its own compost as it breaks down but you should gently fertilize through the season. Planting in straw means you can also plant sooner and grow slightly longer if you have a short growing season. The straw generates heat as it breaks down. A simple frame with plastic cover will give you a self-heating miniature greenhouse. At the end of the year cut the strings on your straw and add it to the compost pile.
Straw is an extremely easy way to garden in tight spaces. They are raised off the ground for easy access; virtually eliminating the need to weed, are cheap, and good for the environment. What do you use for unique gardening techniques? We would love to hear about them in the comments section.
Many of you may have heard lately of something called vertical gardening. It's quickly rising in popularity, especially in homes with limited space. Vertical gardening is growing up instead of out with your plants. It is a wonderful way to save time, space, and effort!
Vertical gardening is a great way to save time as well as your back (from weeding). When you grow plants in raised planters you use less soil. You only need enough for the plants to grow in. This means you have less (if any) weeds. Another bonus is you do not have to bend over. You can plant things as high as you would like. Plants off the ground require much less care than a traditional garden. You can even set up a drip irrigation system to save additional time. Something else to consider is that containers are less accessible to pests and animals that enjoy eating your plants.
Gardening up instead of out saves a lot of space in your yard, or if you don't have a yard it offers you options for growing that you may not have thought of. There are many choices for vertical garden containers, including using pots, planters or recycling materials like old gutters. Anything you can stack or hang will work. Many crops, such as lettuce, require very minimal soil depth to grow. You can use anything from a wall, fence or balcony for your garden. Look for plants that are "bush" variety. They will grow better in your containers. Some trailing vegetables like squash will climb a trellis with proper training. This also reduces the chance of rot.
There are some things to keep in mind if you are growing items in containers. The first is that they run out of nutrients faster. Keeping on top of fertilizing will keep your plants growing well. Making your own compost will provide a source of nutrition and also help with moisture control. Plants in containers will also dry out faster so make sure you water more often. Being off the ground they are often exposed to higher heat levels. Plant appropriately for the area your planters are hanging in. Pick shadier spots for sensitive plants.
Vertical gardening can be an extremely inexpensive way to provide food and splashes of color to your landscape. It utilizes areas that you may not have considered for planting before. Growing some of your own food reduces your impact on the planet. The food you grow is also healthier (make sure you grow organic) and fresher than any supermarket. If you have extra produce offer it for sale or give it away to your friends and family. You could also learn to can and preserve your own food!
Do you have a space or time saving gardening tip? We'd love to see it in the notes section below.

Q: Selenium не видит элемент Что не так в Selenium или xpath ?
Я использую xpath //span[@id='responseDate'], а проверка на наличие элемента приносит мне false, хотя в тоже время - я без проблем могу вытащить из него текст и нахожу его руками по xpath в панели разработчика chrome. И так же успешно вытаскиваю из него текст - если привязываюсь к любому другому элементу для проверки.
1 фрагмент который не находился - но как то сам исправился после того как обновил метод неявного ожидания с помощью библиотеки DotNetSeleniumExtras.WaitHelpers
04.01.2020

Так находит и вытаскивает текст
            if (ProverkaGotovnostiXPath("//input[@value='<<Назад']", Browser))
            {
                string text = PolucitTextXPath("//span[@id='responseDate']", Browser);
                .....
            }

А так не находит
            if (ProverkaGotovnostiXPath("//span[@id='responseDate']", Browser))
            {
                string text = PolucitTextXPath("//span[@id='responseDate']", Browser);
                .....
            }

2 фрагмент до сих пор не находит

Номер там то: 1244595735385395

Использую такой xpath //*[contains(text(), 'Номер')]/ancestor::p/text()
    // Проверка на наличие элемента в DOM
    private bool ProverkaGotovnostiXPath(string xpath, IWebDriver Browser)
    {
        try
        {
            WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(Browser, new TimeSpan(0, 0, 10));
            IWebElement elem = wait.Until(SeleniumExtras.WaitHelpers.ExpectedConditions.ElementIsVisible(By.XPath(xpath)));
            return true;
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            Logger.WriteLog("ProverkaGotovnostiXPath", ex.Message);
            return false;
        }
    }

В ex.Message получаю Timed out after 10 seconds - хотя элемент там есть
Ничем не перекрывается и не во фреймах
UPD
Проверил на всякий случай PageSource ручками и там тоже находятся элементы моими xpatch - а selenium не видит...
UPD
Пробую с Css selector - Тоже не ищет

A: Скрипт открывает страницу, и сразу ищет элемент. Возможно ошибка в том, что страница еще не успела загрузится для Сelenium.
Можно дождаться загрузки так:
wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.ID, "responseDate")))

Или после открытия страницы сделать паузу выполнения программы time.wait(время). Последний вариант "костыльный", но им легче узнать действительно ли в этом проблема.

Christian Democratic and Flemish (Dutch: Christen-Democratisch en Vlaams , CD&V) is a Christian democratic[3][4] Flemish political party in Belgium. The party has historical ties to both trade unionism (ACV) and trade associations (UNIZO) and the Farmer's League. Until 2001, the party was named the Christian People's Party (Christelijke Volkspartij, CVP).
It was traditionally the largest political party of Flanders, until it was overtaken by the New Flemish Alliance (N-VA) in the 2010s. CD&V participated in most governments and has generally the largest number of mayors. Most Prime Ministers of Belgium and Ministers-President of Flanders have been CD&V politicians.
Herman Van Rompuy, the president of the European Council from 2009 to 2014, is one of the leading politicians of CD&V.

The history of the CD&V dates back to the 19th century. It originated in the 19th century catholic party, or 'Parti conservateur' (Conservative Party). At the end of the century, the new fraction of the so-called Christian democrats shifted the focus of the party slightly to the left. In the interwar years the party was renamed Catholic Bloc. Then, the Christian Social Party (PSC-CVP) existed from 1945 until 1968. In 1968, the PSC-CVP was split into to the French-speaking Christian Social Party (PSC, now Humanist Democratic Centre, cdH) and Flemish Christian People's Party (CVP).[5][6] In 2001 the CVP changed its name to the CD&V.
The party was almost continually in power from its establishment until 1999, with the exception of 1954-1958. In 1999, the Flemish Liberals and Democrats (VLD) became the largest party in Belgium, and formed a majority purple government of liberals, social democrats and greens. The same happened in the Flemish Government, but with the addition of Flemish nationalists. In 2003 CD&V again lost the federal elections which continuated the federal center-left coalition, but this time without the Greens.
In 2004, Flemish elections were held and the CD&V once more became the largest political party by representation in the Flemish Parliament. Yves Leterme became Flemish minister-president. After successful local elections in 2006, the party became the largest party in the Belgian Chambre of Representatives after the federal elections of 2007. The CD&V led the subsequent coalition talks, which repeatedly stalled (see 2007–2008 Belgian government formation). On the 20 March 2008, a new federal government was finally assembled, led by Yves Leterme. Kris Peeters subsequently became the next minister-president of Flanders. From 30 December 2008 till 25 November 2009, Herman Van Rompuy led his first cabinet before becoming the first permanent president of the European Council. Afterwards, Yves Leterme led his second government.
In June 2009, Flemish elections were held and the CD&V remained the largest party of Flanders. Kris Peeters stayed as Flemish minister-president. The party also remained the largest Flemish party in the European Parliament after the 2009 European elections.
In 2010, the Open Flemish Liberals and Democrats (Open VLD) decided to step out of the federal coalition and consequently ending the government. The federal elections of 2010 resulted in a major loss of historic proportions for CD&V, largely due to votes lost to the Flemish-nationalist New Flemish Alliance. In the campaign, former prime minister Yves Leterme took a subtle step aside as frontrunner of the party. The president of the party, Marianne Thyssen, had pre-electorally stated that she was a candidate to become Prime Minister.
On 6 December 2011, the Di Rupo Government was formed, with the CD&V as the largest Flemish party.
During the local elections in 2012, CD&V managed to remain the largest Flemish party on the local level. It remained in the coalition of all five Flemish provinces and in three quarters of the municipalities. Almost half of these municipalities were subsequently led by CD&V mayors.

Israeli Settlement News Report West Bank
Israel plans 1,100 more settlement units as legislators call for full annexation
A group of right-wing Israeli legislators submitted a letter to the Israeli Prime Minister on Monday stating that in response to the Palestinian Authority's unilateral bid for statehood at the United Nations, Israel must retaliate by fully annexing all West Bank settlements as part of the state of Israel. The call comes just as the Israeli Jerusalem municipality prepares to approve 1,100 new settlement units on Palestinian land in the settlement of Gilo, near Bethlehem.The plan to move ahead with new settlement construction in Gilo received preliminary approval by the Israeli Jerusalem municipality, and was submitted to the Jewish National Fund, which owns 90% of the land in Israel, for a 60-day public comment period, after which it is expected to receive final approval, and new construction will begin.
In the midst of protests over high housing prices in Israel, Israeli authorities have sought to construct new units in illegal West Bank settlements and encourage young people to move there — in violation of international law and past signed agreements.
Indeed, Interior Minister Eli Yishai issued a directive that 20% of the new units constructed in Israeli settlements should be set aside for young couples.
The right-wing Israeli legislators who submitted a letter to the Prime Minister on Monday made a far-reaching recommendation that the Israeli government officially annex over half of the West Bank, which was occupied by Israeli forces in 1967 but remains Palestinian Territory. This annexation would leave Palestinians with just 13% of their original land, split into discontiguous islands, or reservations, much like the Native American reservations where people were forced to live after European colonizers took over their land.
In their letter, the legislators wrote, 'The international damage that Israel could suffer in the wake of the UN vote is significantly smaller than that it would suffer if it doesn't follow up on the principle you set a decade ago – 'If they give, they'll get; if they don't give, they get nothing.' This last part was a reference to the Palestinian Authority and the Camp David Accords of 2000, during which the Israeli negotiators attempted to force the Palestinians to give up their internationally-recognized rights, including the right to freedom of movement, the right of return for refugees, and the right to live in a defensible state with clearly-defined borders.
The Israeli legislators, mainly from the right-wing Kadima party, called on Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to also cut off the aid money to Palestinians, which comes from international donors, but has to pass through Israeli hands for taxation, to accelerate the construction of new settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, to prevent all Palestinian construction in the West Bank, and to cancel the 'VIP' cards of Palestinian officials which allows them easier access through the over 500 internal checkpoints run by the Israeli army in every part of the West Bank.
