To request a single room, the remaining participant must pay the applicable single supplement and complete the required forms. Refer to "Are Single Rooms Offered" on FAQ page.
Travel Protection Plans: For coverage of cancellation penalties or missed days of the tour due to covered reasons, Image Tours highly recommends purchasing a travel protection plan. Please note that many health insurance providers do not cover customers while traveling outside the USA. Look for travel protection plans that include coverage for travel accident and sickness, as well as luggage. Ask your travel agency for options or consider the Travel Protection Plan offered by Image Tours at time of deposit. After purchase, the Travel Protection Plan is non-refundable.
1) A legible medical statement on the letterhead (including the address and phone number) of an attending licensed physician M.D., or a copy of the completed Attending Physician Statement required by the insurance provider.
2) Signed by the physician.
3) State specific dates the passenger is unable to travel. These dates must include the entire duration of the scheduled travel dates.
4) State a specific medical reason why the passenger was unable to travel, due to the illness of the participant or participant's travel companion. In case of death of the participant or participant's travel companion, or a member of participant's immediate family, namely spouse, child, brother, sister, parent, in-law, grandparent or grandchild, a copy of the death certificate is required.
Baggage space on the motor coach is limited, and we cannot comfortably accommodate more baggage. In fairness to all passengers, our tour managers are instructed to direct any participant with a suitcase exceeding the allowance to purchase a replacement bag on Day 2 of the tour and to leave the oversized bag behind or ask the hotel to ship it back home, entirely at the participant's own expense. If there is room on the motor coach, the tour manager may allow the oversized luggage in which case the tour participant must pay the foreign currency equivalent of USD $10.00 per day for excess storage fees to the tour manager at the beginning of the tour. If luggage weighs more than 50 lbs., the tour participant will be required to carry his/her own luggage between the motor coach and hotel room.
2) Suitcase - Airline Allowance: Airline baggage allowances may differ from the Motor Coach Allowance. Airline baggage fee policies are changing frequently and are inconsistent between carriers. Airline baggage fees are not included and, if charged, the passenger is responsible to pay any applicable baggage fees directly to the airline at time of check in. To minimize (and possibly avoid) baggage fees, Image Tours recommends you follow the same checked baggage allowance for air travel as outlined for the motor coach (#1 of this section), namely one suitcase not to exceed 50 lbs. and 62 linear inches.
3) Carry-on - Motor Coach/ Airline Allowance: Each passenger is entitled to one carry-on. The carry-on may not exceed 15 lbs. and must fit in the space under your seat on the motor coach. This space measures 15" x 12" x 7". In addition, each participant may carry a coat over their arm, a camera or small purse over their shoulder, and a magazine or book in their hand. For safety and storage allowance considerations, wheeled carry-on bags are not suitable. You will not be able to store your carry-on in the suitcase compartment under the bus, during the tour.
Baggage Loss or Damage: Baggage loss or damage sustained while in the custody of an airline, hotel, bus company, or transfer company is not the responsibility of Image Tours. Airline liability for passengers' baggage is stated on the passenger contract included in the Trip Documents Packet, or a statement can be found on file for inspection at the offices of the airline or on the airline's website. The airline's liability shall in no event exceed the actual loss incurred by the passenger, subject to proof of the amount of the loss.
a) Most airlines require immediate claims or they will not accept them.
b) Insurance companies have the right to void any claim that is not reported immediately.
Responsibility of the Airlines: The airlines are not held responsible for any acts, omissions, or events during the time the passengers are not on board their aircraft or conveyances. The passenger's contract in use by the airlines, when issued, shall constitute the sole contract between the airline and the passenger. Any and/or all transportation companies shall have or incur no responsibility for liability to any traveler aside from their liability as common carriers. Services performed and tickets issued by the air carrier are subject to rules and regulations relating to liabilities established by the Warsaw and Montreal Conventions and the terms and conditions of the airline contract.
Hazardous Materials Notice: Federal law forbids the carriage of hazardous materials aboard aircraft in your luggage or on your person. A violation can result in five years' imprisonment and penalties of $250,000 or more (49 U.S.C. 5124). Hazardous materials include explosives, compressed gases, flammable liquids and solids, oxidizers, poisons, corrosives and radioactive materials. Examples: paints, lighter fluid, fireworks, tear gases, oxygen bottles and radiopharmaceuticals. There are special exceptions for small quantities (up to 70 ounces total) of medicinal and toilet articles carried in your luggage and certain smoking materials carried on your person. For further information, review the prohibited items webpage on the TSA website: www.tsa.gov.
Cancellation by Image Tours: Image Tours reserves the right to cancel a tour at any time for any reason, and its liability shall be limited to a refund in full of only those moneys it has received from or on behalf of the participant. If the air ticket is purchased through any source other than Image Tours, it is the purchaser's responsibility to become familiar with the penalties and restrictions. In the event of a cancellation or date change, Image Tours shall not be held liable for any penalties incurred from the cancellation or change of the air ticket. Therefore, we recommend tickets not be issued until 75 days or less prior to departure. Cancellations by a group, due to insufficient group participation or for any other reason, will be subject to the Image Tours "Cancellations" policy.
including, for example, lodging facilities, transportation companies, local ground handlers, tour operators, food service or entertainment providers, etc. As a result, Image Tours is not liable for any negligent or willful act or failure to act of any such person, or of any other third party not under its control. Without limiting the foregoing, Image Tours accepts no responsibility for any risk or resulting injury, delay, inconvenience, damage, or death which results from criminal activity, accidents, disease, epidemics or the threat thereof, illness, the provision of inappropriate or no medical attention or the lack of access to same, the demands of indoor or outdoor activities, strikes, political or civil unrest, overbooking, structural or other defective conditions in hotels or other lodging facilities, acts of terrorism or the threat thereof, insurrection or revolt, weather, acts of God or any other events or circumstances beyond its control.

Image Tours reserves the right to decline, to accept or retain any person as a member of the tour at any time prior to departure, or in the course of the tour, should such participant's health, mental condition, physical infirmity or general deportment impede, in Image Tours' judgment, the operation of the tour or the rights, welfare or enjoyment of other tour participants, and all resulting costs will be the responsibility of the participant.
Entire Agreement: Participant warrants that no promises or inducements have been offered for this agreement other than as set forth herein and that this agreement is executed without reliance upon any other promises or representations. No modification, termination or attempted waiver of this Tour Contract shall be valid unless in writing and signed by the participant and an officer of Image Tours.

Home Spotlight Manila Standard 35th Anniversary Issue: Revving for the Leap Forward
Business sector pulls through, now on way to pre-virus level
byOthel V. Campos
in Manila Standard 35th Anniversary Issue: Revving for the Leap Forward, Spotlight
The Philippines has overcome the uncertainty and many challenges posed byCOVID-19. And the Duterte government is ready deliver to the next administration an economy that is healing.
The Department of Trade and Industry said what the Philippines has gone through is not unique. Trade Secretary Ramon Lopez said that country's predicament is not unique to the Philippines, and just like any country in crisis, the government has been forced to make big decisions.
Trade Secretary Ramon Lopez
"The pandemic has required us to borrow more. These is one of the challenges now. But at least the income capacity, the income fundamentals of the country is there," he said, adding the Philippines' journey to recovery is on the right path now.
He noted a third of the current government's term was spent battling the pandemic and preventing economic recession from spiraling further down.
And while the masks, constant hand washing, quarantine and vaccination were the norm in pandemic years, the burden of debt-servicing becomes part of the new normal.
Despite this, the DTI shares its optimism of a stable rebound of the economy in 2022 on hopes that business sectors will be back on track to pre-pandemic levels as the health crisis wanes.
"As the Omicron scare fades and COVID cases drop, the uncertainty in the business sector dissipates. Hopefully, this will be the end of the Omicron and barring any new variant, we're starting to see the end of the pandemic. And as we see new variants, we believe that these new variants like the Omicron will be milder," said Lopez.
The resurgence of exports and foreign direct investments (FDI) are good indications that the economy is in the upswing. FDI has never been better, now back at record levels surpassing 2019 FDI by 23 percent, and averaging $8 billion to $9 billion a year from just $3.2 billion in years before 2016.
While exports brings in revenues, FDIs brings in jobs―a perfect combination to spur business activities and a sweet recipe for recovery, said Lopez.
"And with this we can expect that the economy will continue to reopen. Definitely, it will be a full recovery for all," said Lopez noting that the Philippines now ranks 4th in the ASEAN in terms of FDI growth from 6th.
Key to sustained growth, Lopez added, are the legislative measures and multilateral treaties that will support trade and investments in the long term.
Hot on the plate is the anticipated concurrence by the Senate to ratify the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership, which received pledges of support from many business groups including business chambers and federations.
Lopez said the Philippines missed the first ride as fellow RCEP signatories―Australia, New Zealand, Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, China, Japan, Laos, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand and Vietnam –started to enforce the treaty in as early as January 1, 2022 .
"We are part of global value chain. To delay ratification is to give the edge to our competitor countries. They will enjoy lower tariffs. In fact they are gaining more opportunities in terms of market access and investments in their sectors, as we speak. We should not be inward-looking," he said.
He cited the erosion of market shares in major exports like pineapples, bananas, canned tuna and fish products, coconut, cacao, garments and electronics.
"Opportunities for our professional service exports such as engineers and architects will not be maximized. We will lose the gains we had. Investors would rather go to those countries with more market access. This will be the effect of an inward-looking policy," Lopez said.

This month, we'll be giving away Avalanche at Yeti Mountain by Green Couch Games to one Patreon lucky backer! To enter for your chance at a copy, consider becoming a Patron of the Cardboard Republic today!
For starters, yes, there is a yet meeple. Game wise though you can check out the BGG Entry for more info.
Not every game is designed to be super serious in its execution, and that's perfectly fine. This month's game is one such example of that. Avalanche at Yeti Mountain is a small chaotic game wherein each player is attempting to get down the mountain before the angry yeti show up and eats them Skifree style. Luckily, each of you happen to have some rockets attached to your skis to outrun said yeti - or at least your opponents. Unfortunately, using those rockets have a nasty habit of triggering the avalanche that's inevitably going to barrel down upon everyone with reckless abandon. Your goal is to be the first one across the finish line at the bottom. Or just be the last person not to die. It's light, simple, has excellent meeples, and clocks in at under a half hour.
It may be the middle of summer here, but there's plenty of snow to go around up on Yeti Mountain. You know, if you're cool with that.


60 Minutes' report on the NSA: an awful lot like MTV Cribs.
If you caught 60 Minutes' "inside look" at the National Security Agency on Sunday night, you might've felt a sense of déjà vu. Just a couple of weeks ago, the show did a puff piece about another secretive organization, Amazon, which amounted to an hour-long infomercial topped off by surprise delivery drones that won't be anything but viral marketing fodder any time soon. It makes one wonder whether the premise of the program, once a staple of journalism, now has more in common with something like MTV Cribs, wherein TV cameras get "unprecedented access" in exchange for massaging celebrity ego.
We're guided by CBS correspondent John Miller, himself a former employee of the office of the director of National Intelligence, as he schmoozes in various cyber-bunkers within the NSA's Fort Meade, Md., headquarters. We start in the office of NSA Director Gen. Keith Alexander, who is allowed to rehash his usual weasel-worded speech about the NSA's dragnet surveillance programs. "The fact is we're not collecting everybody's email, we're not collecting everybody's phone things, we're not listening to that," the general says, using Miller's softball to ignore that none of the disclosures have actually alleged any of those things.
Indeed, Alexander asserts, the agency focuses on foreign nationals and is only actively targeting "50 or 60" individuals described as "U.S. persons." But that is also misleading, as documents have shown the NSA regularly (albeit "inadvertently") collects communications involving Americans and can hand that information over to other agencies, including the CIA and FBI. In fact, declassified court documents obtained by the Electronic Frontier Foundation show that the NSA repeatedly ignored rulings from the secret FISA court that restricted its use of Americans' information.
Alexander also responded to a report from the Washington Post showing that the agency tapped Google and Yahoo's internal data center links, saying "We're not going into a facility or targeting Google as an entity or Yahoo as an entity." But again, no one has alleged they are "going into a facility"—the report, from late October, shows the NSA wiretapped the links between the facilities. Google's irate engineers have since responded by encrypting those links, and both Yahoo and Microsoft have announced they plan to do the same by next year.
The program provided lots of talking points, but little in the way of new information, instead hinging squarely on the fact that we're being allowed to see this stuff or talk to these analysts at all. With Amazon, we were taken on a journey through humming "fulfillment centers," waiting to meet our every desire. With NSA, we're meant to see their swanky, blue-lighted briefing room and conclude that the agency is misunderstood and villainized, even as it continues to be caught in lies and half-truths. After all, they're letting us into their awesome information command center—we wouldn't want to be rude and ask the wrong questions!
But hey—what's in the NSA's fridge?

Ritual & Medicinal
A fruit so foul, shamans use it to scare evil spirits.
imageBROKER / Alamy Stock Photo
Morinda Citrifolia, Cheese Fruit, Vomit Fruit, Starvation Fruit, Dog Dumpling
You might not expect something that goes by names such as "vomit fruit," "dog dumpling," and "starvation fruit" to be popular. However, noni is so widespread that the fresh fruit is consumed across the globe. Supplements made from noni are estimated to bring in millions of dollars annually. Not bad for a fruit that tastes like rotten cheese.
Diners consume noni at three stages of ripeness. In Mexico, for instance, you may find roadside vendors blending unripe noni into their juices. At this stage, the fruit's flavor is the most tolerable: spicy and grassy, with hints of horseradish and parmesan.
The fruit is most commonly consumed when fully ripe. At this stage, the outside turns white and feels soft and smooth, while the flavor develops into a combination of sharp cheese, lemon, and vomit. The few who consume overripe noni heavily dilute it. The brown, fermented fruit is too foul to consume on its own.
The main reason people opt to eat a fruit so off-putting is its purported health benefits. All parts of the plant are used to treat ailments as diverse as toothaches, cancer, attention deficit disorder, bruises, and addiction. It also plays a role in traditional ceremonies: Polynesian shamans will use the fruit to ward off evil spirits since it smells so bad that even ghosts give it a wide berth.
Studies have shown evidence of noni reducing inflammation and tumors in mice, but the majority of the health claims are unproven. With that being the case, it may be a better choice to live with a toothache, or an evil spirit, than to subject yourself to this fruit.
Native to Indonesia and Australia, noni is available in tropical areas across the globe. It often shows up in the medicinal food sections at markets rather than with fruits and vegetables. One of the more tolerable ways to consume this fruit is to put several in a large jar and leave in the sun to ferment. Over time liquid will seep out of the rotting fruits and collect at the bottom. Take about a tablespoon of this liquid and mix it into a glass of a tastier juice to reduce the noni flavor.

Make sure candidates know their stuff…and more. It's important for an employee to understand the basic principles of business and stay abreast of relevant industry standards and news. Moreover, a successful hire will bring experience, specialized knowledge and an ability to recognize how his or her work affects other areas of your company.
Stress the importance of ethics. You want someone who will do the right thing when faced with a tough situation. During interviews, be sure to ask candidates to discuss ethical dilemmas they've faced and how they've approached them. Always perform reference and background checks before you make a decision. Then, go with your gut. Don't hire someone you don't trust.
Look for signs of loyalty. Is the candidate a job-hopper? Is he dishing the dirt on his former boss in the interview? Loyalty shows an employee respects confidentiality and company resources and often indicates that he or she will represent your organization in a professional manner. Plus, a loyal employee is often an ethical employee.
Embrace fresh perspectives. A new staffer should learn the company processes and follow established regulations, but creativity can be a valuable asset, too. An inventive worker can come up with improvements that make everyday operations more efficient.
Don't settle for less than a perfectionist. Finance professionals have to sweat the small stuff. It's part of the job. A detail-oriented individual, who keeps clear records and follows up promptly with colleagues, is well worth premium compensation.
Consider time-management skills. These days, everyone has to multitask, so it's critical that a staff member be able to prioritize. A good hire won't have to rush to complete work. Instead, he or she should be able to calmly and quickly break down a project into manageable parts and determine where energy is best spent.
Recognize a good fit. There's a reason it takes more than an impressive resume to get hired. A candidate should also fit in with the corporate culture, and his or her goals should jibe with the company's. Ask questions that will reveal what an applicant is looking for in a career, and see how that meshes with the job offered.
Draft a team player. Find out if the candidate understands the bigger picture at the company and has a track record of putting the best interests of the team above personal motives. These individuals are likely to break down barriers to build partnerships with colleagues rather than work in silos.
Go for growth potential. So you think you've found the right person for this job. But what about the job on the next step of the corporate ladder? Hire with an eye toward filling the pipeline for future higher-level positions.

Q: CollectionUtils in java using predicate I have a List<Object> and I want to return the first value that it finds true which matches a predicate.
I found that I can use CollectionUtils.find(collection,predicate) (Apache commons). Assuming that the Object contains a integer variable called : value , how do i specify in the predicate that the value can be 1,2,3,4,5 and to discard those that dont match. Is it possible to do 'contains'.
Also not using java 8 so unable to do stream.

A: In Java 8 you can write
Optional<Integer> found = list.stream().filter(i -> i >= 1 && i <= 5).findAny();

Before Java 7 the simplest solution is to use a loop.
Integer found = null;
for(integer i : list)
   if (i >= 1 && i <= 5) {
        found = i;
        break;
   }

This would be the cleanest and fastest way as Java 7 doesn't have support for lambdas.

A: To return the first element in the list which matches the given predicate:
MyObject res = CollectionUtils.find(myList, new Predicate<MyObject>() {
    @Override
    public boolean evaluate(MyObject o) {
        return o.getValue() >= 1 && o.getValue() <= 5;
    }
});

To filter the list so that it only contains elements matching the predicate:
CollectionUtils.filter(myList, new Predicate<MyObject>() {
    @Override
    public boolean evaluate(MyObject o) {
        return o.getValue() >= 1 && o.getValue() <= 5;
    }
});

You can notice that the Predicate<MyObject> is the same.

A: You can use Collections.removeIf (I'm assuming you are using JDK 8). You can also use a Stream :
list = list.stream().filter(predicate).collect(Collectors.toList());

Using Apach Commons Collections, you can use CollectionUtils.filter.

While working on a construction site recently, I entered a room with a broken window. Standing back to view the entire panel, I could still see the landscape beyond, even though there were a few spots that were obstructed. The pane of safety glass was held together by design, creating a web of cracks extending from corner to corner. The light from outside was shining through the shattered pieces, and I could see colorful fall leaves in the refracted light. It was certainly not the first time I've seen broken safety glass, but I just stood there for a minute and took in the strangely beautiful pattern.
Looking out that window, I had a profound realization that my brain feels like shattered glass. From the inside, I feel the sharpness of the individual shards, while the world sees the whole picture, with the light filtering through the edges, casting tiny rainbows all around. There's an invisible force holding it together, like safety glass refusing to fall to the ground. The years of repeated surgeries, shunt malfunctions, and constant pressure fluctuations have left cracked and blurry spots in how I function, rest, heal, and see my battle. But even though my brain is very broken, it's also fascinating. It's a prism that is continuously changing, and my life is shaped by how I allow this challenge to reflect my resolve.

We all want fluttery, mile-long lashes! Some of us weren't born with luscious eyelashes, because of this there are whole bunches of ways we can grow them out and achieve the lashes of our dreams. If you've tried going the natural way and haven't seen significant results, it's time you invest in an eyelash serum that's enriched with fatty acids and conditioning peptides to give your lashes a real boost like those from Xlash! You also need a full dose of patience to get there.
Here's a roundup of the 15 best eyelash growth serums for you to choose from.
Here's the thing – if you have extremely sensitive eyes, some of these ingredients can cause irritation, dryness, and a bunch of other side effects. On the other hand, if they suit you, this serum is guaranteed to work like magic. Though it's on the pricier side, this one's completely worth the try!
This eyelash serum claims to give you noticeably better eyelashes within twenty-eight days. Its formula is more of a conditioning gel than an eyelash enhancement product. You apply this just like how you apply your liquid eyeliner, which means it offers a very controlled application. It's great for overly-sensitive skin and eyes and also for contact lens wearers. If you're looking for a non-prescription formula with clinically proven ingredients at a reasonable price, this is something that you can count on for slightly slow yet reliable results.
If you have damaged and brittle lashes from all those times you've used false lashes, this serum is something that you absolutely need to try. This serum is a peptide-based treatment that targets all three stages of the hair growth cycle and helps enhance natural lash length, thickness, fullness, and density. It's water-based, lightweight, and is both ophthalmologist and dermatologist-tested.
This prescription-free eyelash serum from NYX works wonderfully to transform brittle, thin lashes to lush and dense ones. Its formula features superior peptides and growth complexes combined with Arginine, Biotin, Soy Proteins, Herb Extracts, and Ginkgo Biloba to produce thicker, longer, and stronger eyelashes. Apply this just how you apply your liquid eyeliner and results are evident in as little as six weeks with continued usage. Its formula is clinically tested, oil-free, drug-free, and also cruelty-free.
This serum from Boots No. 7 contains Hydrolyzed Keratin and Panthenol, both of which are known to deeply nourish and moisturize eyelashes. You need to apply product to cleansed eyelids once a day and expect noticeable results within eight weeks of regular usage. what we dislike is its shoddy applicator that makes application quite a task.
This high-performance lash lengthening serum is designed to transform your lashes with its SymPeptide Complex and Vitamin B5 formula. Sodium Hyaluronate helps moisturize and add shine to the lashes. You can apply this to your eyebrows, twice a day, for a period of 6-8 weeks to see noticeable changes.
The trick to growing your lashes and maintaining them is to sneak in some beauty treatments while resting. eyelashes, like any other body part, require vitamins and nutrients to keep them strong and healthy. Adding foods or supplements like iron, biotin and folic acid to your diet will immensely promote healthy eyelash growth. Consistency is key – use your eyelash serum regularly, and you'll end up with those naturally gorgeous lashes in no time.


Managing your time well will help you get the most done in a day. Today people have many interests beyond their main pursuits and time always seems to be in short supply. On the other hand it is also important to give yourself sufficient time to relax and unwind. This way you will be able to rejuvenate yourself and deliver a peak performance consistently. Here are some suggestions that will help you organize your time better.
If you get important tasks done first you will find you are able to do the remaining tasks with a relaxed mind. If you leave important tasks for the last moment completing them under time pressure will likely affect the quality of your work. You may also end up wasting time worrying about the undone important tasks rather than using time to actually do them.
To prevent unwanted and unintentional distractions have a dedicated workspace. Sometime you may require a space with access to resources such as a library. So plan your workspace options well. Don't let your time management plans be upset by a workspace not being available or not being distraction free. Always have back-up spaces ready.
This will enable you to assign a specific time to a specific task. Once you have assigned time for each task you will be able to implement your plans. Without letting one task affect another. The time blocks should not be too long. You may lose interest in an activity after a while and may not be able to sustain focus. On the other hand they should not be so short as to be not long enough to complete an important task. Blocks of 30 minutes to an hour are good. For large tasks you can have a series of blocks with short breaks in between them.
Each of us needs to put aside time for activities that we do everyday. For example eating meals, sleeping, exercising, praying, traveling, spending time with friends and pursuing a regular hobby. You should ensure that the time you spend on these activities is not too much. And that you have enough time for other activities you need to do. On the other hand your plan should make sure there is enough time for activities you do daily.
Many tasks will not be done in a single block of time. You can however set milestones that you will pass on the way to completing the entire task. If you are not organized in your approach to them your effort may be too disarrayed. You may lose the will and momentum to get the task done well. But if you organize your effort and set milestones you can know you are making progress. You will build momentum as you pass the milestones. A key milestone is the first milestone. Once you have passed it you will have momentum. Often the absence of a clear first milestone makes a task appear unduly challenging.
Tasks may not play out as you expect them to and therefore it is important to schedule a review often. During the review you can adjust your time plan based on your experience with the ongoing tasks.
By wisely using resources you can make tasks easier and get them done well in time. For example if a task requires a skill that is not in your domain, you should consider having someone with those skills help you out. For example designing the graphics for a presentation slide. Learning peripheral skills is something you can take up in hobby time. It should not be done in the time set aside for an important task.
You may not be able to get started on a task right away once it is assigned to you. However, it is important to review it while the context is still fresh in your mind. If you have forgotten details of the context, doing a good job will become more challenging. It is best to review the task once and note important aspects about it. That way you will not need to remember them till the time when you can actually take up the task.
To do lists free up your mind from the job of remembering tasks. You can be focused on doing them. For the long term you can have a plan. The tasks that make up the plan can serve as natural milestones.
Many of us tend to put off tasks, even important ones. There can be many reasons for this. It may be that the task is not clearly defined. It may also be that one is not sure how to get started. But if it is an important task one must not let these issues prevent one from getting started. Once you get started you will have a better chance of meeting the challenges. And if progress is still not possible you can ask for help. Once one learns that it is better to do a task than to put it off one will be able to get more done. Be realistic, don't allow trying to do a perfect job to become a reason for not doing a task at all. If you get started in time you will have opportunity to improve the quality and aim for perfection.
Do not make a time management plan that does not provide for 7 to 8 hours of sleep. Not sleeping enough will make even simple tasks appear challenging.

The number of Machar's fighters in Congo has so far reached over 750, according to the United Nations spokesperson, Stephane Dujarric.
"In addition to information we shared with you on Friday, the UN Peacekeeping Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO), has continued to extract this group of individuals from the Garamba National Park in the DRC. Yesterday the Peacekeeping Mission extracted an additional 118 persons on humanitarian grounds," Dujarric told the press in New York on Tuesday.
"To date 752 individuals affiliated with the SPLM/A-IO have been extracted," he added.
He explained that among those extracted, 631 are in UN-run facilities in three locations inside the DR Congo, with some receiving medical treatment while others recovering from exhaustion.
"Security arrangements are in place in all locations," Dujarric said.
He said the UN has continued to engage with both the DRC and the South Sudan authorities as well as regional actors to encourage them to find a solution to the presence of South Sudanese armed individuals in the territory of the DRC.
"Authorities of both countries are regularly informed of actions taken on the ground," he said.
Meanwhile, the opposition faction of the SPLM-IO has confirmed that dozens of their officers who were extracted together with Machar in the DRC have already arrived in Pagak, the General Headquarters, at the Ethiopian border.
"Yes, some of our officers who were accompanying our leader from Juba to the DR Congo have already arrived in Pagak," Machar's spokesperson, James Gatdet Dak, told Sudan Tribune on Tuesday.
He said among the officers who arrived in Pagak last week include their military spokesman, Colonel William Gatjiath Deng, who was extracted together with Machar at the DR Congo border on 17 August 2016.

UN interest in SSudan war is known from day one, how can 750 persons be sick at the same time and how are they reaching Pagak on their sick bed from DRC to Ethiopia border

It was UN who transported them to Juba, and thus they should be responsible to take them back if peace collapsed. It is that simple!!!
Juba is paying nothing in transportation, and if they have money, let them feed the hungry citizens first...
