When it comes to productivity, some days are better than others.
One day you feel like the Energizer bunny, but another you feel like a bump on a log.
The problem is that stuff needs to get done regardless of how productive we feel.
So what do you do when you have a to-do list that's longer than Santa's naughty and nice list?
One simple thing that can boost your productivity is a change of scenery. Now you might be thinking that you'd love to work on a beach in Mexico rather than at a desk in Alberta, but the change doesn't need to be that big.
We have put together a few easy ways to change your scenery without the airfare or bathing suit shopping.
I know this isn't a mind blowing revelation, but we all tend to spend most of our time indoors.
Aside from taking a break and going for a walk, there are some places that designed for people to work outside.
In a BBC article about outdoor office spaces, they wrote about several cities and companies creating outdoor work spaces. People can take their work outside, with the amenities of the modern office, such as WiFi, electrical outlets and desks.
One of the spaces they mention is TREExOFFICE. It's an enclosed outdoor office space built around a tree in London's Hoxton Square.
TREExOFFICE by Tata Harmer LLP (L 2) from Kilian O'Sullivan on Vimeo.
Another example is in the community of Silver Springs in Maryland, called Outbox. Here people can work while enjoying sunshine and fresh air, plus charge their laptops.
Although you may not have access to something as cool as these two examples, if you're tired of staring at the same four walls, get outside. Doing so will engage different senses, and activate different parts of your brain.
Our South Edmonton location, has an outdoor patio available for members who want to get outside.
You can also simply take your laptop or notepad outside to a park or local cafe with a patio.
With our Alberta winters and -40 C temperatures, you may not want to grab your laptop and work outside.
Adding a little green to your workspace is a easy way to change your scenery.
In fact, a group of psychologists from Exeter University published a study, which says workers perform better when household plants are added to workplaces.
We are big fans of having plants in our office spaces. You will find plants at both URBN Cowork locations.
To add some green to the homes and offices of our members, we gave out plants to celebrate our first anniversary this year.
Although a plastic plant might be easier to care for, it won't provide the health benefits of a real one.
If you can't get outside another option is to work near a window.
Moving to an area with natural light and a pleasant view can make you more productive.
The Daylight and Workplace Study conducted by Cornell University's Dr. Alan Hedge, a professor in the department of design and environmental analysis, found that working by a window had positive effects on workers. There was a decrease in drowsiness, and a boost in productivity.
If you can see a little bit of nature out a window that's even better.
In a study about how having a forest view while working, researchers found forest views from windows reduced stress and increased productivity.
So if you're feeling uninspired, try switching up your view to get a fresh perspective on things.
Shopping therapy for productivity? Why not?!
There's evidence to support the idea that if you feel good about the space you work in, the more productive you'll be.
If your office is at home, this may mean getting a new piece of artwork or a new set of storage boxes.
Adding artwork may not be an option if you're working at a coworking space, but you can buy a few office accessories or notebooks instead.
In Edmonton, Parcel & Prose, has lots of great options, and Indigo or Chapters, offer a great selection of items online and in store.
Whether your style is too-cool-for-school, pun-lovin, pretty-in-pink or completely your own, there are so many fun and functional options.
Our member Christine Lalonde, has her own office at our Sherwood Park location, and has created a great space with a lot of personality. Some of our other members have super cute notebooks or mugs that make whatever spot they're working in theirs.
The colors you choose to surround yourself with or paint your office can have an impact on your productivity too. The psychological impact of color is very interesting and can be used to promote productivity and balance.
Even if you just have a cubicle or work from a common space, make that space your work oasis.
Sometimes that best thing you can do is walk away from your work for a bit.
It may seem counterproductive to take a break from your work to boost your productivity, but stay with me.
We aren't machines or magical beings with unlimited stores of energy.
You need to notice when you're starting to feel unproductive or bogged down and recharge.
Here's the easiest way to increase your productivity with a change in scenery.
Go to another area of your house if you work from a home office or go refill your coffee mug in the kitchen if you're at a coworking space.
Sometimes we act like we're tied to our computers and forget to stretch and take breaks. Stop it!
Walk to a nearby cafe for coffee or run a quick errand, give your brain a chance to reset and you'll be surprised that not forcing yourself to "stay at it" helps.
When you're an entrepreneur or small business owner, if you don't get things done, nobody else is going to do it for you. We get it, because we're in the same boat.
That's why we've tried to create spaces within our coworking locations for our members to move around and easily take advantage of the positive benefits of a change of scenery.
Whether you add a plant to your new home office or engage in some shopping therapy, we hope you find the best way to boost your productivity with a change in scenery.

Thomas Pitcher (1745-1837) was an English ship-builder who had a shipyard in Northfleet.

Pitcher founded the Northfleet Shipyard in 1788, which he owned until 1816, when the business was taken over by his sons Henry Jones Pitcher and William Pitcher. The Northfleet Shipyard was one of the largest on the Thames, where Pitcher and Sons built East Indiamen and warships for the Royal Navy. The business also had a shipyard in Blackwall, where repairs were carried out.

SEOUL (Sputnik) - South Korean Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha has held talks with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to discuss the situation in the Middle East and the Korean peninsula, the South Korean Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
The talks between the to top diplomats were held on Tuesday in San Francisco.
"The minister and the secretary of state have exchanged assessments of the situation around issues pertaining to [the denuclearization of] the Korean peninsula, opinions about the inter-Korean relations, resumption of US-North Korea dialogue, and preservation of the driving force in nuclear talks based on unwavering cooperation between the US and South Korea," the statement read.
According to the text, Kang and Pompeo have also "expressed concerns with regard to the situation with the recent escalation of tensions in the Middle East and have agreed to make efforts together with the international community for continuous restoration of peace and stability in the region."
The same two topics were discussed in a trilateral format among Kang, Pompeo and their Japanese counterpart Toshimitsu Motegi. Additionally, Kang and Motegi held a separate bilateral meeting to discuss the trade strife between Japan and South Korea.
Last year, Tokyo removed Seoul from its list of preferred trading partners and introduced export restrictions on certain chemical materials that are vital for the South Korean tech industry. The move was widely seen as a tit-for-tat to South Korea's demand of reparations from Japanese companies to former Korean forced laborers during World War II.
Amid a series of attacks on oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman and Hormuz Strait last year, the US called for an international coalition in the area for ensuring safe maritime passage for commercial vessels. As a few countries joined in, South Korea said it would consider sending troops too, likely at the start of 2020. Seoul has still not officially announced its decision.

Q: azure cdn edge in japan not responsive I run a webserver (http://www.mycompany.com) in Azure (in West Europe) which displays a lot of images to the users.

*

*All images are fetched from Azure CDN with querystring syntax enabled. (i.e. http://cdn.mycompany.com/images/abc123.jpg?preset=Thumbnail)

*The CDN points to an Azure WebApp (in West Europe) as its Endpoint. (http://resizer.mycompany.com) which runs ImageResizer v4.

*ImageResizer is configured with the plugin AzureReader2 to load the original images from Azure Blob Storage (http://mycompany-images.blob.core.windows.net)

This configuration works fine from my client in Sweden. Both small thumbnails and large versions of the images show up, and it is fast.
Users in Japan see the thumbnails (2KB) without problem, but large images (500KB) takes minutes to download, even over high-performant fiber connections. When I comandeered a computer in Japan and forced cdn.mycompany.com to point to 93.184.221.200 (which is Azures edge for Sweden), the same image was downloaded in reasonable speed! It also worked to require the image directly from resizer.mycompany.com or Blob Storage.
I've tried to diagnose this for a week now and don't know how to continue.

*

*Is there something wrong with the CDN Edge in Japan?

*Is the problem that the CDN Edge in Japan is too far from the WebApp in West Europe?

*Do I have performance issues on the WebApp or Blob Storage that I just havn't realized? (there are a lot of japanese users hitting the website at the same time)

(The urls above are obviously obfuscated)

A: There is no simple solution for diagnosing performance issues. Below is generic guidance for investigating performance issues. For additional guidance you would need to provide example URL's and associated http response header data that illustrate the performance issues.
Request the slow performing content using a tool that provides response header data – Chrome Developer Tools, IE Developer Toos, Firebug, Fiddler, Wget, cURL.
Verify that the response contains the "Server" header and that it has the format similar to the following "Server: ECAcc (pae/3725)" Overall whenever cached content is being returned from the CDN the Server header will use the following syntax: platform (POP/ID). Additionally, the X-Cache header value will show up with a value of HIT indicating that the content is being cached by the CDN. The CDN by default has 2nd hit caching behavior which results in content being cached only after it has been requested twice from the same POP location.
Network issues:
Use the traceroute tool to check network issues between the client that is experiencing performance issues and the edge of the CDN.
Speed Test:
Perform an internet speed test from the client that is experiencing performance issues to determine if the ISP is causing sub-optimal performance.

2 days later he gets a call from the lab.
Doctor: I'm sorry to inform you sir that your wife's test results have been mixed up with another patient's. We're not sure if she has COVID-19 or Alzheimer's disease.
Man: So what am I supposed to do now?!
Doctor: I'd recommend taking her for a long walk and leaving her, if she finds her way back home, don't open the door.
My patients are complaining that I'm a terrible doctor
I just don't know what's wrong with some people
A patient walks into an optometrist's office.
The optometrist starts the eye exam and casually asks her if there's any particular reason she came in for a checkup.
"Doctor, I think am having hallucinations. Every time I open my eyes, I see really dark things. Evil. Malice. Hatred. Plague. I am seeing the worst in everything. Nothing looks like it used to. It's as if everything I see is shrouded in darkness."
The optometrist sits back from the patient, confused.
"That's interesting," he said, "because from what I can tell, you see 20/20."
Doctor: describe your average night
Patient: they wear suits of armor
Doctor: no, i mean at bed time
Patient: they probably take it off
A psychiatrist was testing a patient's personality. He drew a circle on a paper.
And asked the patient, What does this remind you of?
The patient answered, Sex.
The shrink drew a square and asked again, What does this remind you of?
Sex, the patient replied.
Then the doctor drew a triangle.
It reminds me of sex, the patient stated.
You seem to be obsessed with sex, the shrink told the patient.
*I'm* obsessed with sex? *You're* the one who's drawing the dirty pictures!
Wrong again, he asks the same thing to the third one: "3 times 4?"
The third one immediately answers "12".
The doctor is surprised that the last one got it right: "Wow, how did you get to that answer?"
"It was easy", says the last one. "I divided 1484 by wednesday".
Two doctors, Jenkins and Smith, are treating a man with lung disease.
They're explaining how him smoking weed led to his condition worsening.
But it's just herbal! the patient protested. How can it be bad?
Dr Jenkins sighed. Apricot stones contain lethal amounts of cyanide. There is a certain plant in my back garden - if you sit under it for just ten minutes, you will die. Just because it's natural doesn't mean it's safe for you!
The man seemed to accept that, and after he and the doctors parted ways, Dr Smith asked, What is that plant that kills you if you sit under it?
A water lily.
A patient runs into a doctor's surgery yelling out: I'm shrinking! I'm shrinking! What should I do?
The doctor replies: you are just going to have to be a little patient.
After attempting to climb Everest and failing, John has severe frostbite, hypothermia and goes into a coma.
After a lengthy and dangerous mountaintop rescue he's rushed to the nearest hospital, where after several days he finally wakes and is greeted by the Nepalese doctor.
Sir, I have bad news and good news. John, ever the optimist asks for the good news first.
Okay, the good news is the patient in the next bed has offered you a very generous amount for your slippers...
Doctor: I have bad news and worse news for you
Patient: What is the bad news?
Doctor: You only have 24 hours to live.
Patient: What can possibly be worse news than that?
Doctor: I should have told you this yesterday...
Tonight I did a delivery to the local mental asylum.
Being curious, I asked the doctor how do they determine whether or not a patient should be institutionalized.
"Well," said the doctor, "we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty the bathtub."
"Oh, I understand," I said. "A normal person would use the bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or the teacup."
"No." said the doctor, "A normal person would pull the bathtub drain plug. Do you want a bed near the window?"
A panic-stricken man explained to his doctor, You have to help me; I think I'm shrinking.
Now settle down, the doctor calmly told him. You're just going to have to be a little patient.
A Proctology exam.
A man is sitting over the counter with his pants down at the doctors office.
The doctor comes in and sits down and starts working the gloves onto his hands.
Alright Brian, it's your first proctology exam, just sit back, relax, and try not to get an erection the doctor says.
The patient awkwardly looks back and says but my names Dan.
Doctor responds oh I know, my names Brian.

I was in the waiting room for 2hrs 57minutes
A rich guy visits a doctor for a little blue pill
The doctor gives him a sample to try out. He tells him to take it now and by the time you get home it should be working.
20 minutes later the guy calls the doctor to tell him his wife isn't home but the maid is there.
Doctor says, well... try it out with the maid.
Patient replies, I never needed a pill to get a hard-on with the maid.
A neurologist was diagnosing a patient who lost his ability to do basic math
"What's 9 plus 9?
What's 8 and 8?
The doctor shook his head. Very interesting. What about 6 times 5?
The man thought for a second, and answered 1E .
Aha, I've figured it out! The doctor said. Somebody's clearly put a hex on you.
Pregnant girlfriend
Guy: Doctor, my Girlfriend is pregnant, but we always use protection, and the rubber never broke. How is it possible?
Doctor: Let me tell you a story: There was once a Hunter who always carried a gun wherever he went. One day he took out his Umbrella instead of his Gun and went out. A Lion suddenly jumped in front of him. To scare the Lion, the Hunter used the Umbrella like a Gun, and shot the Lion, then it died!
Guy: Nonsense! Someone else must have shot the Lion.
Doctor: Good! You understood the story. Next patient please.
A bedridden hospital patient takes a turn for the worse and a doctor comes to check on them.
The doctor does a quick examination, then releases the brakes on the bed's wheels and rolls them out of the room. "Alright, it's time to move you down to the East Wing."
"What's the East Wing?" asks the patient.
"The morgue." replies the doctor.
"W-wait, the morgue?! But I'm not dead yet!"
"It's a long hallway."

"The Jews sunk the Titanic?"
"Sure. Greenberg, Goldberg, Iceburg, all the same to me!"
A lawyer was interviewing a doctor about the death of a patient
"When you examined the patient, did you check his pulse?" asked the lawyer.
"I didn't" said the doctor.
"And did you listen for a heartbeat?" said the lawyer.
"No, I did not" the doctor said.
"So in other words" the lawyer said "When you signed the death certificate you had NOT taken adequate steps to confirm he was dead."
"Well, let me put it this way," said the doctor- "At that point, the man's brain was in a jar on my desk. But for all I know I guess he could've been out practicing law somewhere!"
A psychiatrist is testing his patients
He asks the first one "what is 4+2?" The patient replies "potato" The doctor is disappointed and moves on to the next one. He asks the second one "what is 4+2?" the patient replies "5000" The doctor is disappointed and moves on to the next one.

Just think that there are jokes based on truth that can bring down governments, or jokes which make girl laugh. Many of the a doctor and a patient mental patient puns are supposed to be funny, but some can be offensive. When jokes go too far, we try to silence them and it will be great if you give us feedback every time when a joke become inappropriate.
We suggest to use only working a doctor and a patient nurse patient piadas for adults and blagues for friends. Some of the dirty witze and dark jokes are funny, but use them with caution in real life. Try to remember funny jokes you've never heard to tell your friends and will make you laugh.

Sandwiched on the beach between the Hulishan Fort and Zhen Zhu Wan, Daring Duck, a new sailing and outdoor training beach camp in Xiamen, is set to create a fun and challenge-packed base for youths and adults.
Mr. Paul Schoe, a former cub scout and boy scout in The Netherlands and a former scout leader of the British Scouts of Western Europe, has been working for three years to find a good location in Xiamen for a weekly scouting group. And finally he chose Huandao Road, one of most popular scenic spots in Xiamen.
The unique location next to Hulishan Fort, with a beach, trees and an attractive activity centre, offers a perfect start for an exciting and valuable scouting experience in Xiamen.
The center offers youth programs, such as community, safety, camping, street sports, first aid, swimming, rescue, kayaking, knots and sailing, which will help them to get closer to nature and develop practical skills to deal with challenges they will face in daily life.
The spacious centre with a large spectrum of water activities is also an ideal place for team building activities for companies including sailing, kayaking, paddle boarding and sailing courses.
When night falls in the centre, it is quite another party venue for all the partygoers, as the centre provides barbecue and international dishes while visitors sit around a campfire, enjoying English karaoke or a wonderful outdoor movie. The centre is also the place to be for a wonderful wedding ceremony, which will be tailor-made to your request.
And in June this year, the centre joined to sponsor the 2014 "Gulangyu Cup" International Football Tournament, formerly known as "Amoy Cup", which will be held from 9am to 5pm on 21st June at the Gulangyu People's Stadium, which will see 14 teams from six cities battle their way to victory.


I am quite sure these were fake cigarettes …they did not seem to "burn away" 😉 forgot to ask him though.
In the time the setting was transported (60ies in USA) everyone was smoking as we can see in the old films.
Love the pictures, and enjoyed the singing from the webcast (my computer buffers too much to have the picture), but I'm not at all sure about this staging. It may just be me, but I wish directors would not have cigarettes on stage – with the obvious exception of Carmen. I'm always worried about the singer's voices.

Paradise Ransomware Using Internet Query Files To Deliver Payload
Posted by Mersad On March 25, 2020
The Paradise ransomware is like a bad penny; it just keeps turning up.
The strain first appeared back in 2017, when it was spread far and wide via phishing emails. Then it seemed to fall out of favor for a while, and now, it's back again. Even worse, it's back with a new trick up its virtual sleeves. In its latest incarnation, it's still being spread via phishing emails.
Now, its controllers are leveraging interest in IQY (Query) files, which are text files read by Microsoft Excel to grab data from the internet. Given that fact, IQY is a completely legitimate file extension, so most organizations don't even think to block it.
The researchers at Lastline who discovered the latest campaign had this to say about it:
"We're seeing attacks using IQY files because many commodity security products and automated systems do not, or cannot, parse these file types. Attackers realize they have a very good chance of making it past rudimentary defenses."
The approach seems to be working as Paradise's phishing emails are being opened by unsuspecting users at an alarming rate. Of interest, the researchers found evidence in the code that this strain is still a work in progress. Consider this latest campaign to be a beta test for the redesigned code.
Lastline's researchers had something to say about that as well:
"Malware authors will often deploy malware that isn't quite ready for prime time yet - they want to see how successful early versions of a new campaign are and how detectable their malware is against security products."
As is the case with most ransomware, this one is designed to sniff out high value files, exfiltrate them to a command and control center, then encrypt everything and demand a ransom. As such, it has to be regarded as a genuine threat and is certainly one to keep a watchful eye out for.

Spend your working hours in style and comfort! Whether you're looking for desk lamps, suspended lighting (such as pendants or chandeliers), floor lamps, or other high quality fixtures, we have an expansive selection of modern lighting solutions for your workspace or office.
Choose from brightly colored lamps or muted silver fixtures—you simply can't go wrong with the gorgeous, sophisticated pieces in this office lighting collection.
Lighting fixtures that are designed for offices provide excellent atmospheric light that creates a pleasant and productive work environment. The fact cannot be denied that office lighting can make a huge difference in the workplace. Proper illumination in the office has been linked to positive emotional states contributing to increased productivity. On the contrary, poor quality lighting at the office leads to a feeling of dissatisfaction and even irritation with the consequent negative effect on employee productivity.
Office lighting fixtures have greatly evolved since the days of dusty single light incandescent bulbs and crackling fluorescent tubes. Today's lighting fixtures offer high-quality illumination that raises the morale of the employees allowing them to work in a productive and efficient manner. Here are some of the questions that can help you in selecting the best lighting solution for your workplace.
Q.1. Which directions should I follow when setting up lighting for my home office?
Ans. Quality office lighting can boost the productivity of the employees. It improves energy levels, mood, and morale of the employees that lead to increased efficiency while performing work. On the other hand, poor quality office lighting can sap the energy of the employees leading to headaches, eye strains, and other problems.
Before purchasing a lighting fixture for the office, it is important to first assess the room illumination requirements. Find out the amount of natural light in the room and then select a lighting solution accordingly. The best advice when it comes to office lighting is to go for recessed downlight such as the APD 01 pendant light from LumenArt that creates warm white light projected downwards and that are not too harsh for the eyes.
Moreover, a lighting fixture that is dimmable with an external dimmer such as Forchini PD-2 Suspension Lamp from SLV Lighting is recommended in case you want to control the light based on the amount of illumination required in the office space.
Adjustable spotlights can also work well in the office environment creating a modern twist to the décor as seen with the Spot 79 120 V spotlight from SLV Lighting. This lighting solution allows you to highlight a specific area of the room in a spectacular fashion.
A pendant light and chandeliers don't suit office space. They are more suitable for homes and hotels. If you do want to select these lights, you should make sure to select one that features a simple fuss-free shade.
Task lighting such as the Tolomeo classic table lamp from Artemide and Hippo table lamp from Vertigo Bird are important in office spaces that require bright illumination. The adjustable office light brightens up space in a way that allows employees to fully concentrate on the task at hand.
You should position the desk lamp opposite the writing hand to avoid the shadows that will distract while working. Also, make sure that the beam of the light falls on the working area and does not reflect onto the screen.
Wall lights such as AWL 13.1 Wall Sconce from LumenArt and Aria Mini Recessed Wall Light from Artemide are also ideal for the office space. You should select a light that mimics daylight and that can be tilted and rotated on the wall as per the illumination requirements.
Careful consideration to the office lighting can allow you to create a pleasant and comfortable environment at the office. There are so many varieties when it comes to office lighting that you can select one that can perfectly suit the illumination requirements at the office.
Q.2. Can you tell me a bit more about the glare on computer work desks? How can I avoid glare?
Ans. Office work is both mentally and visually demanding that requires good lighting. Good lighting means one that does not cause stress, and allows the employees to focus on the task at hand. One of the factors that can negatively affect the performance of the employees is glare on the computer work desks.
A glare is caused by excessive light falling on the computer screen. This prevents them to clearly see the screen. When employees experience glare on the computer screen, they lean either forward or backward in order to resolve the issue. This leads to awkward body position that leads to postural fatigue and mental stress, which in turn results in musculoskeletal injuries (MSI).
The main sources of glare include outside windows, overhead lights, and light that is reflected off the work surfaces. Depending on the location and source of the light, there are different solutions that you can take to reduce glare from the computer screen.
Install an anti-glare shield on the screen to avoid glares.
In short, a computer glare can be uncomfortable for the employees as it prevents them to properly see the computer screen. In order to avoid the glare, you can either control the lighting source or adjust the monitor screen.
Q.3. How many lumens do I need in an office?
Ans. When buying office lights, the focus is mostly on the wattage. Not many people give consideration to lumens of the lighting fixture. Lumens are a measure of the intensity of the light. More the lumens, brighter the workspace, and vice versa.
For general office spaces, the lumens should be between 300 and 750. This provides the best illumination in general settings. However, there are areas where more illumination is required due to the general nature of the work.
Mechanical Workshops, for instance, require a higher degree of illumination as compared to other office spaces. So, you need to install lighting that provides net lumens in the range of 500 to 750. The lumens required for the performance of visual tasks for prolonged periods require even higher lumens that range from 1500 to 2000.
Q.4. What different types of Office lighting fixtures are available?
Ans. You can find different varieties of office lighting fixtures. The lighting fixtures can be categorized in different manners that can serve different requirements and budgets. For office spaces where employees work mostly sitting on desks, task lighting is the best solution. Then there are office wall lights that are fixed on the walls, and the office suspension lights that are fixed on the ceilings.
The office floor lamps are another category of lighting fixtures that can be installed at the workplace. It gives greater control over the illumination of the place. For instance, the Worklight LED SL-1 Floor Lamp from SLV Lighting is equipped with the latest technologies such as motion sensor, daylight control and regulation, and a dimming feature that controls light according to the illumination requirement.
Another way office lighting fixtures can be categorized is according to the type of the bulb installed in the light. The three main types of light bulbs include halogen, fluorescent, and LED. Of these halogen and fluorescent bulbs provide the brightest illumination, while the LED bulbs are the most energy-efficient bulbs.
Office lighting fixtures can also be categorized according to the shape of the lighting shade. You can select Abstract, Bell, Conical, Cylindrical, Dome, Drum, Globe, Multipoint, Rectangle, Round, and Square design lighting shade.
Apart from the shape, the office lighting fixtures also differ according to the finishing. Office lighting fixtures come with Aluminium, Black, Brass, Bronze, Chrome, Chrome Matt, Gold, Nickel, Nickel Matt, and White. You can select a lighting fixture with a finishing that looks the best to you.
Q.5. Why should I use LED or Fluorescent lighting in my office?
Ans. When it comes to energy efficiency, LED office lights are by far the best choice. These lights consume the least power as compared to other kinds of lighting solution. LED bulbs contained in the lighting fixture also last for a long time thereby offering value for money.
The next best lighting source is the fluorescent lighting. Fluorescent bulbs produce ultraviolet light that when electrified is converted into visible lights. These bulbs are twice as energy efficient as compared to halogen and incandescent bulbs.
Q.6. What are some recommended products for Modern Office lighting?
Ans. At Interior Deluxe, we have some of the best brand lighting products. You can find such well-known brands as Anta, Artemide, Axo, Fontana Arte, and much more. The entire range of modern lighting fixtures that you can find here features exquisite craftsmanship and high-quality build. The lighting solutions at Interior Deluxe offer great value for money, saving you a lot of costs in the long run.
The Tolomeo classic table lamp and Tolomeo with shade table lamp both from Artemide are our two most popular office lights. People like these lighting fixtures that come with fluorescent bulbs for their simple yet elegant design, and affordable price. The modern lighting fixtures designed by Michele De Lucchi and Giancarlo Fassina feature high-quality build and finishing that has made them a star at Interior Deluxe.

SPORTEL to move away from traditional rotation model by holding two consecutive conventions in Asia
By Liam Morgan at the Grimaldi Forum in Monte Carlo
SPORTEL will hold consecutive conventions in Asia next year and in 2019 due to the region hosting three successive Olympic and Paralympic Games, it was revealed here today.
SPORTEL chief executive Laurent Puons and sales and marketing agent David Jones confirmed to insidethegames that they would not stage a convention in the United States in 2019.
Their spring convention traditionally rotates between the US and Asia each year.
The next edition of SPORTELAsia is scheduled to take place in March 2018 and the event will return there again in 2019 instead of heading to the US.
SPORTELAsia in Singapore will be held after the 2018 Winter Olympics conclude in Pyeongchang in February but the Games will be staged in Asia in 2020 and 2022.
"This is simply because of the upcoming Olympics and what is happening in Asia at the moment," Jones said during the SPORTELMonaco convention here.
"The focus is on Asia right now and we have to accomodate that."
Puons said they were also considering holding a SPORTELAsia in 2020 but that has not yet been confirmed.
SPORTEL chief executive Laurent Puons said they are considering holding three editions in Asia through to 2020 ©SPORTEL
SPORTELAsia at the Shangri-La Hotel in Singapore is scheduled to be held two months prior to the first-ever SPORTELSummit in Miami.
The conference will gather top-level executives from relevant sports media and marketing industries, including representatives from social media, International Federations and possibly even International Olympic Committee members.
It will be held annually but is not always in Miami.
Jones claimed registrations for the Summit on May 15 and 16 were "pouring in".
SPORTEL aim to have around 250 to 300 participants at the conference and have begun to send invites to those high-ranking officials whom they wish to attend.
Puons said they had established a list of those whom they want to come to the Summit and they were "confident" they would get the required amount due to the "powerful" SPORTEL brand.
"It has been exciting to see how much interest is there," Jones added.
"We have to find a balance across the industry because we can't accept everybody.
"We want to make sure it is interesting for everybody."

The LTTE says air actions open up new possibilities in the military, political and diplomatic fields, reports PK Balachandran.
The LTTE has said that its newly established "Tamileelam Air Force" (TAF) will help it gain recognition in the international community as an organisation running a full-fledged "state".
"The air actions open up new possibilities in the military, political and diplomatic fields," the Tamil militant group's military spokesman Rasaiah Ilanthirayan told Hindustan Times over phone from Kilinochchi in North Sri Lanka.
spade, we are a state!" he said.
in Jaffna in North Sri Lanka this month.
we control a part of the sea. The Air Force is now a tiny one with a few prototype planes, but it will grow," Ilanthirayan said.


Much was said last week about Arizona Governor Jan Brewer's veto of SB 1062, a law that would have given businesses a license to discriminate.
Lost amid the noise was another veto, one Governor Brewer issued by signing legislation overturning HB 2305, a package of voter suppression laws. The package was a broad and far-reaching bill, with provisions that would have kicked voters off the state's permanent early voting rolls and criminalized "get out the vote" activities that are designed to increase participation in voting.
So as some were praising the Governor for vetoing the license-to-discriminate bill, should we also have praised her for overturning HB 2305?
Don't be fooled. There's more to the story.
Earlier this year, 146,000 voters in Arizona signed a petition to put a referendum of HB 2305 on the ballot in November. When the Governor overturned the law, she also voided the referendum. As such, voters will no longer get the final say on the matter.
The Governor stopped a statewide conversation about picking and choosing who gets to vote - an important conversation that is currently happening all across America.
• In Missouri, a proposed initiative would create six weeks of early voting prior to the general election. The initiative's proponents are gathering signatures to put their proposal on the ballot in November.
• In Ohio, a ballot initiative that would lock in early voting and make it easier for people to register to vote has, so far, been blocked by Attorney General Mike DeWine. The initiative's proponents hope to qualify for the general election this fall.
• In Montana, the legislature put two measures on the November ballot that restrict access to voting. One would eliminate same-day registration. The other would exclude third party candidates from the general election.
• A number of other states have potential ballot measures requiring photo ID when voting or expanding access to early voting.
• The last time voters were asked to weigh in on voting rights was two years ago in Minnesota, where a proposal to require photo ID was shot down by the voters.
Americans are seeing their voting rights restricted all across the country. Fueled by groups such as ALEC (the American Legislative Exchange Council) and its network of state-based stink tanks, efforts to strip away voting rights have popped up in more than 19 states with proposals to reduce voter registration opportunities, reduce access to early voting and make it harder for students to vote.
Limiting participation in our democracy allows politicians to pick the voters who decide everything from candidate elections to economic fairness, protecting women's health, workers' rights and LGBT equality. Disturbingly, this effort disproportionately excludes women, people of color, transgender people and the elderly from participating.
In several states, including Arizona, voters are using ballot measures to protect their right to vote and lend their voices to this national conversation on voting rights.
What's more American than discussing our right to vote and access to the ballot box?
Brewer's actions may have stopped the referendum, but she hasn't stopped the conversation. And in this conversation, voters have a voice.

The Belize Zoo and Tropical Education Center – Covid-19 Relief
Monday, August 24th, 2020 – The Belize Zoo and Tropical Education Center (TBZTEC) is a conservation organization that has been proudly serving Belize for the past 137 years. Visitors to the zoo total approximately 86,000 annually, of which fifty percent are Belizeans.
With the closure of the airport and the domestic state of emergency measures caused by the COVID-19 Pandemic the income stream for the zoo has been severely impacted. The zoo is currently opened by appointments only, and it is only through the generous donations from merchants and the public that they are able to feed the animals and keep staff employed. As a result, The Belize Zoo reached out to the Belizean community and the Lord Ashcroft COVID-19 Relief Fund seeking financial assistance.
Being deeply committed to the protection of animals and wildlife around the world, as highlighted in his recent book publication, "Unfair Game", Lord Ashcroft pledged his avid support to this most needed effort.
Today, Mr. Lyndon Guiseppi, chairman of the Lord Ashcroft Covid-19 Relief Fund met with Mr. Celso Poot, representative from the TBZYEC Management Team to hand over a donation in the amount of $20,000.00. Mr. Poot expressed his profound gratitude on behalf of the TBZTEC management, staff and animals. He further explained that the funds will go directly into the care, nutrition and enriched quality of life for over 200 animals which represent 45 native species of Belizean wildlife.
The Belize Bank Limited (BBL) is the largest full service commercial banking operation in Belize providing a range of banking and financial services to both domestic and international customers.

Broccoli and cauliflower are back, after their summer disappearance. Broccoli is unrivaled as a stir-fry veggie, and cauliflower is wonderful roasted with cheese. Though, any way you prepare these beautiful brassicas you are bound to create something delicious! Find them from Ten Mile Farm (River Arts District Farmers Market and Asheville City Market), Aardvark Farm (Yancey County Farmers Market, River Arts District Farmers Market, and Asheville City Market), and Paper Crane Farm (West Asheville Tailgate Market and Asheville City Market).
Radishes and turnips balance spicy and sweet for a wonderful fall flavor. Radishes are perfect for salads or try fermenting to make them into pickles or a relish. Turnips are great roasted alone or with other root veggies. Find these from Blue Ribbon Farm (River Arts District Farmers Market and Asheville City Market), and Blue Meadow Farms (Black Mountain Tailgate Market, West Asheville Tailgate Market, and Asheville City Market).
Sugar snap peas bring the crunch to match the crisp fall weather. These treats are great for snacking and available for far less time than the other vegetables mentioned above. Find them from Aardvark Farm before they're gone.
