Kokkare Belur
Important Bird Areas (IBAs) in India by Birdlife International
Mandya, Karnataka
Number of people 30000
Kokkare Bellur village is situated in Mandya District, 80 kilometers from the state capital, Bangalore. Its landscape resembles that of a typical dry land with the perennial Shimsha flowing to its south. Cultivated and fallow fields, cactus hedges and old and new trees of tamarind, banyan, pipal, babul, gular or atthi, neem, mother-in-law's tongue tree, mango, rain tree, portia, mark the landscape.
For six months of the year, Kokkare Bellur looks like any other village in South Karnataka. But from December to June hundreds of spot billed pelicans and painted storks move into and occupy the tamarind and banyan tree tops, to nest and breed in the heart of the village.
The pelicans arrive first and settle on the crown of mature large canopied trees, while the lighter and more agile storks come in a few weeks later and settle on the outer branches of the same trees. Some trees are so populated that the nests touch one another.
Over the following six months birds and humans by and large co-exist peacefully as they have done for generations. It is as if the entire village gets a two-tiered structure with the humans living downstairs and the birds living upstairs.
Besides these birds, this tiny village plays host to at least 139 other bird species, including little grebe, grey heron, night heron, white ibis, purple moorhen, whitespotted fantail flycatcher and many others.
The current human population of the village is around 30000 approximately. The dominant occupations have been agriculture apart from which there are potters (kumbara-shetty), fishermen (ganga matha) carpenters (aachari) and silkworm rearers. Besides animal husbandry, sericulture, sand dredging and labour on village farms as well as in surrounding urban areas, are also practiced.
Origin Revived by community initiative, New initiative by external non-government agency
Motivations Livelihood, Religious/cultural sentiments, Natural habitat and species conservation
History has it that the storks and the pelicans have been coming to Kokkare Bellur to breed for hundreds of years. Previously the village was situated on the bank of the river Shimoga (a major tributary of the Kaveri River) and the birds lived there with the villagers. A plague in 1916, forced the villagers to abandon the area and set up the current village a few kilometers from the river. The birds moved with the people. This might explain the strange choice of breeding ground of these birds away from a large water body.
For a long time, this extraordinary village had escaped the notice of wildlifers, bird enthusiasts and forest officers. Dr. Salim Ali too did not know of this pelicanry, when he discovered Ranganthittu and got it declared a bird sanctuary in 1940.
The only possible reference to this village may be found in the 1864 writings of British naturalist, T.C. Jerdon where he makes the following observation: "I have visited the Pelicanry in the Carnatic, where the pelicans have built their rude nests, on rather low trees in the midst of the village, and seemed to care little for the close and constant proximity of human beings."
Further he describes the spotbilled pelican as the most abundant species found in India, occurring in all districts where rivers and tanks abound. After 130 years, the same species is on the endangered list, with not more than 5000 birds in the whole of South Asia and only 10 breeding sites left in India, Kokkare Bellur being one of the most significant.
1994- Manu K., founder member of the NGO Mysore Amateur Naturalists (MAN), came to the village on a habitat assessment program. MAN initiated the formation of a local youth group called the Hejjarle Balaga (Pelican Clan) to look after the welfare of the birds in general and fallen and injured pelican and stork chicks in particular.
1998- members of Hejjarle Balaga successfully stopped a local farmer from cutting his tamarind tree on which birds were nesting. The group asked the farmer to lease his tree to Hejjarle Balaga for the season instead of harvesting the tamarind from the tree and disturbing the birds. Ultimately a combination of moral pressure from the group along with a little financial benefit persuaded the farmer to leave the trees for the birds.
2004 to 2006- many birds had got accidentally electrocuted on the high tension lines that passed through the village very near to the nesting trees. The community has been successful in getting the authorities to increase the distance between the power lines and the neutral lines of the high tension wires, which has put an end to the birds getting electrocuted.
2006- the youth and children of Hejjarle Balaga have put back around 300 pelicans into the wild. An impressive number when one considers the endangered status of the birds. Around this year, the bird nest count stood at an all time high of 400, and Kokkare Bellur was identified as one of the Important Bird Areas (IBAs) in India by Birdlife International3. The village has also been assessed as the seventh important hotspot in Karnataka with regards to biodiversity.
As to their relationship with the birds, the older generation have in the past, followed a policy of benevolent tolerance, a policy of live and let live. They had willingly given up their claim to the tamarind harvest from trees in their backyards when these trees were selected by the birds for nesting.
They believed that the arrival of the birds assured good luck for the village and their absence was associated with drought and murders. People preferred to get their daughters married to the son of a family that had birds in their backyard, as this was considered a sign of prosperity.
Decision Making Body Panchayat
Community activities through the year Patrolling, watch and ward, Fencing
Manu K., founder member of the NGO Mysore Amateur Naturalists (MAN), came to the village in 1994 on a habitat assessment program. This proved to be the beginning of MAN's long and committed association with Kokkare Bellur working towards the re-establishment of harmony between the birds and humans.
Towards this, MAN initiated the formation of a local youth group called the Hejjarle Balaga (Pelican Clan) to look after the welfare of the birds in general and fallen and injured pelican and stork chicks in particular. A local farmer B. Linge Gowda, donated a part of his land for the use of a pen, which has been fenced so that dogs and other predators do not get to the helpless chicks.
As of 2006, the youth and children of Hejjarle Balaga have put back around 300 pelicans into the wild. An impressive number when one considers the endangered status of the birds. Chicks that fall to the ground and would otherwise perish, are taken into the pen, fed, tended to and raised to the fledgling stage, then returned to the wild to join their naturally raised siblings.
Besides counteracting the drastic decline in pelican and painted stork numbers, this exercise seeks to and has been successful in recreating and strengthening the close bond between the children/youth and the birds while giving a hands on experience in the daily care of these birds.
Hejjarle Balaga members also actively plant tamarind and ficus trees along the road, clean the irrigation tanks that are the foraging grounds of the birds and discourage people from either cutting trees or picking fruits from the trees that birds have chosen for nesting in their backyards.
In 1998, members of Hejjarle Balaga successfully stopped a local farmer from cutting his tamarind tree on which birds were nesting. The group asked the farmer to lease his tree to Hejjarle Balaga for the season instead of harvesting the tamarind from the tree and disturbing the birds. Ultimately a combination of moral pressure from the group along with a little financial benefit persuaded the farmer to leave the trees for the birds.
When hunting tribes and outsiders were caught harming the birds in any way they were arrested by the local panchyat and asked for a penalty of Rs. 100, a princely sum for both the villagers and the tribe, where the barter system still played a large role in the economy.
One important benefit that villagers receive from the birds is the droppings or guano, which is used as fertilizer for agriculture. The villagers dig huge pits around the trees that the birds select to nest and allow the phosphate and nitrogen rich bird droppings to accumulate. These are then mixed with the silt from the nearby lakes and spread in the guano pit. This exercise i s repeated several times in the nesting period so that the layers of guano and silt alternate in a sandwich effect.
This provides ready mixed compost which is then spread over the field. Another benefit from this practice is that the removal of silt from the lakes prevents them from silting up. Children in the village have for generations been taught not to tease birds or steal their eggs.
Legal Status Important Bird Areas (IBAs) in India by Birdlife International
Impact on Livelihoods and Subsistence Natural fertilizer from Guano
Ecological Impact Natural habitat preservation, Good diversity and population of wildlife, Improved/sustained ecological services
Internal Threats and Challenges Internal differences and inequities, Changing socio-cultural practices and aspirations, Outmigration
External Threats and Challenges Negative impacts of tourism, Mega-development projects
In 2006, the bird nest count stood at an all time high of 400, and Kokkare Bellur was identified as one of the Important Bird Areas (IBAs) in India by Birdlife International. The village has also been assessed as the seventh important hotspot in Karnataka with regards to biodiversity.
While the threats cannot be wished away and one must deal with these bottlenecks to bird and human prosperity, one cannot but feel hopeful of the future when one sees the strong link between the children and the birds in the village.
According to Erica Taraporewala, Kalpavriksh member who witnessed a Sunday morning following a stormy night in the village in 2006, "Children all over the village on their own accord had started looking for birds under various nesting trees, chasing away dogs and bringing in the chicks that had fallen from their nests in the storm. Some spent the day in the pen, laughing, playing with each other even as they looked after the birds, while other children were seen showing birds to a camera crew that had come to the village. And all this was done with such joyous spontaniety, clearly showing that the intrinsic connection between the children and the birds that has been strengthened by the quiet and consistent efforts of MAN and Hejjarle Balaga." Will this endure in the face of the threats which are as true as this connection? Only time will tell.
Among the significant threats to the bird are ill conceived development plans that might put the birds at risk. Among these are a road widening project (which has been stopped for the time being), and the grandiose plans of the Tourism Department to set up a holiday resort close to Kokkare Bellur. As far as is known, there has been no research done to assess the viability or desirability of such a project, let alone the effect that such development will have on the birds.
As cheap and easy to acquire urea, insecticides and pesticides replace guano and natural methods of pest control, the lakes are increasingly at the receiving end of agricultural waste and sewage.
The excessive use of chemicals has increased the level of nitrogenous nutrients which have led to the uncontrolled growth of weeds and reeds in the water bodies, reducing the expanse of water available to the birds to catch fish. Also pelicans being at the top of the aquatic food chain, are susceptible to pesticide poisoning.
The urban tourists that come in also display the huge difference in the material prosperity between the villagers and their urban counterparts. Local inequities play a large role as most villagers see the powerful get away with tree cutting and other violations.
Additionally, there is no stable institution for grievance redressal and to resolve internal disputes. To make matters worse the local panchyat has been merged with the village panchyats of four other villages. This has eroded the traditional leadership of the village which had proactively protected the birds.
Aspirations of the local people are changing in keeping with the general consumerism that prevails in the country. This coupled with lack of creative and sustainable ways to earn a livelihood within the village has created a situation of dissatisfaction. Such a situation can easily create apathy for the birds as well as can put humans in competition with resources that were earlier allotted graciously to the birds but now are seen as cash-generating.
Since the 1990s, however, changes have occurred in the lifestyle and attitudes of the people, due to the influences of the larger developmental model being pursued by the country at large. This change manifests itself in a number of ways like in many other villages across India.
Today mud walls are making way for brick walls, local tiles making way for Mangalore tiles, earthen pots and pans being replaced with gaudy plastic ones, the dark brown nutritious raagi (finger millet) dumplings losing favour as local staple diet and making way for white polished rice.
Further manifestations of this change can be seen in rich farmers increasingly growing cash crops and using chemical fertilizers and pesticides, whereas earlier they grew a variety of dry land nutritious millets and beans. Motorised vehicles have also entered the village life.
Behavioural patterns also manifest this change, e.g. families of potential brides that once looked for families with guano pits in their backyard, now give the young men of such families a wide berth, as the once auspicious guano pit is now seen as a source of trouble and hard work for the bride to be.
As a result, today most graduate youth migrate out to the cities looking for jobs. The free and abundant availability of phosphate and nitrogen rich guano had for long staved off the use of urea in the fields. However the cheap and easy availability of urea and the ease of application of the same to the farm vis-à-vis the long drawn and relatively messy method of preparing natural fertilizer from the guano is attracting more villagers to the idea of replacing guano with urea, breaking an important link in the human-bird symbiotic relationship.
Change can also be seen in the new acquisitions in the village. Kokkare Bellur has not been left untouched by the overall atmosphere of increased consumerism and urbanization that has overtaken the country.
The lure of buying things from far off markets has necessarily increased the dependence of the locals on the market economy and increased their need for money. This coupled with the fact that there are no innovative yet sustainable income generation schemes within the village creates intense competition for all cash providing resources, and this includes the resources shared traditionally with the birds.

Alleged illegal exporting of recycling waste, the new animal welfare code published for laying hens and a decision is yet to be made on lynx reintroduction - Thursday 9 August
Posted by: Defra Press Office, Posted on: 9 August 2018 - Categories: Weekly stories
On today's blog we look at the alleged illegal exporting of recycling waste, the new animal welfare code published for laying hens and a decision is yet to be made on lynx reintroduction.
Alleged illegal exporting of recycling waste
The Telegraph reports that three British companies are being questioned by the Environment Agency for exporting household waste falsely labelled as recyclable plastics destined for recycling in Poland.
The paper reports that Polish Government inspectors have seized more than 1,000 tonnes of the waste, and speculates the waste was intended to be either burnt or placed in landfill instead of being recycled.
A Defra spokesperson said:
Waste and recycling must be properly managed whether it is processed at home or abroad.
We work closely with the waste industry, Environment Agency and local authorities to safeguard the environment and crack down on rogue operators who try to play the system.
Any operators found to be illegally exporting waste could face severe sanctions – from financial penalties up to imprisonment.
An Environment Agency spokesperson said:
We have a strong track record of using enforcement to bring businesses back into compliance.
Since 2011, we have brought 258 businesses into compliance by using Civil Sanctions which has resulted in a combined financial payment of over £5M to environmental causes.
Defra cannot comment on the specifics of this case as it is currently the subject of an ongoing Environment Agency investigation.
Businesses involved in the shipment of wastes are required to take all necessary steps to ensure that the waste they ship is managed in an environmentally sound manner throughout its shipment and during its recycling.
This government is committed to reducing the amount of waste we produce overall, increasing the amount we recycle in the UK and providing greater confidence in the quality of UK waste exports.
The government has also given the Environment Agency an extra £60m to tackle waste crime since 2014, and has recently launched a comprehensive review to beef up the government's approach to tackle organised waste crime. We will set out further steps when we publish our forthcoming Resources and Waste Strategy later this year.
New animal welfare code published for laying hens
Our publication of a new code to safeguard and enhance the welfare of laying hens and pullets (young laying hens) has received positive trade and regional media coverage including in Farming UK, Somerset County Gazette, Agriland and Plant Based News.
This coverage noted that the strengthened guidance means bird keepers are now required to provide a more enriched environment for laying hens to allow them to display more of their natural behaviours.
The code is part of a programme of reforms to make the UK a world-leader in the care and protection of animals as we leave the EU, including our plans to raise maximum sentences for animal cruelty to five years and making CCTV mandatory in abattoirs.
More information is available online.
Decision yet to be made on lynx reintroduction
A lynx
There has been speculation in the Daily Telegraph, I newspaper, the Ecologist, BBC Newcastle, Chronicle Live and the Hexham Courant on the possible reintroduction of lynx to Nothumberland and when a decision will be taken by Defra Ministers.
The I reports that the Lynx UK Trust wants to return six of the predators to Kielder Forest, some 1,300 years after they were wiped out through hunting and deforestation.
"20 adjoining plots in the forest agreed the animals could be let loose on their land," said the Telegraph today, but they also report farmers are opposing the plans due to fears lynx will kill sheep and lambs. Sarah Knapton wrote in the Telegraph last week that llamas could be brought in to guard flocks from the big cats.
Any decision to grant a licence to reintroduce lynx into the wild in England will be based on the potential impacts on affected communities, the wider environment and follow international guidelines.
No decision has been made and Ministers will decide whether to grant a licence after considering advice from Natural England.

I4F Celebrates Five Years of Breakthrough Business
5th anniversary marked by 66 licensees and 300 granted patents in 100 countries worldwide
WILLEMSTAD, CURAÇAO – I4F, a group of companies providing patents and technologies to the flooring industry, today celebrates its first five years of business. The company marked the occasion by confirming that it now has sixty-six licensees, and three hundred patents granted in over one hundred countries worldwide. Additionally, I4F's flagship technologies, 3L TripleLock and Click4U, continue to firmly establish themselves as the new global standards in flooring installation systems.
I4F's fast-growing license base, including many of the world's biggest flooring companies, has doubled in size this year compared to 2017. This is currently generating an annual production rate of flooring using I4F locking technologies in excess of one hundred million square meters. The company's goal is to reach one hundred licenses by year-end 2019.
I4F was founded on December 3, 2013, and less than a year later, had already signed up its first licensees as well as provided the industry with proof that its innovative locking system was innovative and reliable by successfully passing all the required production and performance tests. Just a few months later, I4F passed non-infringement examinations for the United States and Europe, setting the stage for the filing and granting of its patents all over the world including in the US, Europe, China, Canada and Russia.
2017 was a breakthrough year for I4F. The US Customs and Border Protection Agency gave the all clear for products manufactured under I4F's licenses, including 3L Triplelock and Click4U, to be imported into the United States of America. This ruling reconfirmed previous freedom-to-operate reports and paved the way for global flooring manufacturers to switch their flooring production to I4F technologies.
I4F formed strategic partnership agreements with leading global players including Classen, Kronospan, Ulrich Windmöller Consulting and Kowon bringing the number of patents it represents to over two thousand in the areas of locking, surface finishing, materials and panel composition, manufacturing processes as well as board and wall Panels.
John Rietveldt, I4F's CEO, commented, "In just five years, we have succeeded in setting the industry free from the detrimental status quo in which flooring manufacturers found themselves trapped for close to two decades. We have been able to conquer the market by providing the best flooring technologies available and listening to the needs of the industry. We have partnered with global industry leaders and invested in the future by developing new technologies, opening offices in the Netherlands and China as well as adding even more highly qualified professionals to our champions league team. I am proud of our people and grateful to our licensees as well as our partners for the continued support and trust in I4F. We will continue to deliver transparency and accessibility to forward-looking, cutting-edge technologies designed for the greater good of the industry."
The company celebrated its fifth anniversary with its employees in its Willemstad, Eindhoven and Shanghai offices with I4F branded cakes and traditional snacks originating from Curaçao, China and the Netherlands.

Situated at the National Botanical Research Institute in Windhoek, the M.A.N. Müller Reference Library is one of the twenty ministerial libraries and is run by a staff member of the NBRI.
This facility is a branch library of the Namibian Agriculture and Water Information Centre (NAWIC).
Since the establishment of the SWA Herbarium in 1953, traces of a library could be seen as books and periodicals were bought through the Department of Agriculture, or were donated by other libraries and institutions in South Africa and elsewhere.
After independence, the name SWA Herbarium changed to the National Botanical Research Institute (NBRI) and the type of publications procured diversified in accordance with the more expansive functions of the developing institute.
In 1996, the NBRI moved to the current building which houses a custom-designed library, where all the books and periodicals gathered over the years could at last be proudly displayed.
The library is named after the late Dr. M.A.N. (Mike) Müller, who was the curator of the herbarium from 1975 to 1991, and who contributed greatly to the development of the institute.
To provide information on Namibian flora and related subjects
To expand the book collection by relying on and soliciting donations from other institutions and libraries in Namibia and elsewhere as well as purchasing using the ministerial budget
To maintain a friendly environment where all users may feel welcome when doing research or just to relax
To develop a resource centre/collection for use by NBRI staff in compiling lectures, talks and publications.
This library is open to all users, being NBRI staff, students, scholars, researchers or visitors from local or foreign countries.
Since the library is a reference library only, we offer a limited photocopy service to facilitate the needs of our users.
» Read more about our core functions.
Our book collection includes dictionaries and bibliographies, books on medicinal plants, trees and shrubs, biodiversity, conservation, horticulture and gardening, agronomy, plant genetic resources, ecology, biotechnology, Namibian plants, southern African plants, succulents, herbarium management and much more.
We have a unique classification system developed by NBRI staff, unlike other libraries that are using the DDC system.
All books are added to the WINISIS programme, using a database called NBRI. Searches done for information requests are not only limited to our book collection. We can also use our other sources such as databases for our periodical, literature reprint and slide collections.
Periodical Collection
The periodical collection consists of journals such as Aloe, Bothalia, Kew Bulletin, Veld & Flora, Plant Ecology and many more. All new additions to the periodical collection are bound into annual volumes.
Just recently articles from the periodicals are being added to a new database, called ARTICS, using the Winisis programme.
Slide Collection
This collection consists of a wide range of slides of flowers, leaves, fruits and of the habitat of Namibian plants, vegetation types and ongoing work. All slides are filed in a separate cabinet and added to the SLIDES database.
Reprints Collection
Literature reprints are ordered from other libraries in Namibia and South Africa, using the Inter Library Loan (ILL) system. These literature reprints and other bits of printed information, like pamphlets, are added to the PAPERS database and filed in a separate cabinet.
Other material housed in our collection includes annual reports, proceedings of workshops and meetings and newsletters.
Other databases that can be accessed for information searches are the Namibian book collection of the National Library and that of the Namibian Agriculture and Water Information Centre.
Libraries play an important role in the development of each country. Our library has the most comprehensive collection of botanical literature in the country that forms an invaluable basis in planning, implementing and evaluating projects with a botanical component.

Fans have to wait another year to see Elite League ice hockey
We knew it was coming, but it doesn't make the news from the Elite League all the better as the 2020/21 season has now been officially suspended.
We hoped that the pandemic might have gone some way to moving on, or that social distancing measures would be relaxed or that people in general would abide by the rules set out by governments. Alas, it's not to be.
It must be great to be a fan of football, rugby, athletics, golf, cricket or even NHL and see your teams or those sports in action again. Enjoy it and treasure it. You're very lucky at this moment in time.
Fans of the Elite League have to wait another year to see any action and while that could very well provide a tremendous boost to NIHL and SNL clubs in the months to come, if they can get something of a season going.
#EIHL Board suspend season 2020-21

— EIHL (@officialEIHL) September 15, 2020
Make no mistake, this is the last thing the owners of the EIHL teams wanted. They looked at every possible avenue in an attempt to get fans in. While they theoretically could with social distancing, it would have been hugely costly for them down the line.
This sport has seen too many teams and too many leagues go down the drain because of reckless spending by an individual or a collective. As decisions go, this could be the most sensible one this sport has ever seen.
The decision to be made was very simple. Play a season, incur the costs that go with it and risk your future in the event the season may end abruptly. Or play the long game, go into abeyance for a year and function on minimal cost with a chance of coming out the other side. It wasn't a difficult one.
Each team has functioned differently throughout the last six months. Some have been measured and taken a cautious approach by not announcing too many things too soon such as players and season tickets. Others have functioned on a "continue as normal until told otherwise."
Social distancing measures played a huge part in the Elite League's decision
The truth, there was never any normal in this. We, in a previous post, highlighted the question of testing, for example, for players on a regular basis, like we're seeing in other sports. The cost alone would have burdened the ten teams so there was a big hurdle straight away.
But the social distancing point was the major one, as highlighted by Tony Smith. Basically, without it, it was the only way the teams could function as businesses.
Tony also spoke in the statement about a short format tournament in the New Year. Maybe he genuinely means it and it's something they're looking at. Maybe it was added to provide a little glimmer of light in what has been a dark morning.
I can't help thinking it's an ambitious one at this time and if it can get off the ground, great. I'm not convinced of a way it can work, if you're talking about bringing players in on short term deals. The big question is whether it would be worth it. I don't think it would, but then stranger things have happened.
One year to go and we'll see this again…maybe (PHOTO: GB Ice Hockey)
So, as we look ahead to the future, where does that leave the clubs and the league? Do they sit by and let the months pass before they start to put plans in place for next September/October?
You would hope not and perhaps, like the Glasgow Clan have announced, take stock of the business, look at its success and failures and try to improve.
Perhaps it's something the league could look to do as well in its practices. Far be it for me to kick the EIHL when it's down, but maybe it's time to look at the marketability of the league and try to attract that big sponsor or big TV contract to give the league the credibility and dare I say validation that it needs.
In the meantime, let's start the countdown to 2021/22 and know that it will already be the best season ever.

Jan 16, 2023 Articles Interviews
Don't Live an Unexamined Life
Women in the workplace have all dealt with expectations or tasks that we know will be impossible to achieve or go against our grain, but we do them anyway. Why? What are we hoping will be the reward on the other side of all the long hours, exhaustive work, and drained mental and emotional reservoirs? Melissa Peak shares about "good being the enemy of great," and why anyone who feels the weight of unfair expectations should seize the opportunity to stop living an unexamined life and seek out God's true path for their life.
You can listen to this entire conversation with Melissa on our podcast, Work, Love, Pray! Listen below or click here to find your preferred listening platform.
Women have a diverse pool of expectations placed upon us…and sometimes those expectations are self-inflicted. Why do we do allow these unfair expectations to exist?
Being in a situation where unfair or unreasonable expectations are piling on top of you is where I would say a self-assessment really needs to start. Sometimes we're doing things and don't even know that we're trying to fulfill an unfair expectation. We're just doing it. Don't live an unexamined life. Regularly ask yourself, "What are you trying to do here? What's the priority?" I had my first job was when I was eight years old, delivering newspapers. I've been a producer for a long time. I'm very good at working and doing, and I enjoy that.
However, God has had to remind me I'm not a human doing; I'm a human being. I think we're always hardest on ourselves, and there are lots of subconscious and conscious expectations that we give ourselves. If this sounds like you, I think you have an opportunity for negotiation. Don't just put your head down and do, a mistake a lot of us did in our early careers, including myself. I was a first generation college student, so early in my career, I really equated success with output, and the more harder I worked, the more the output. To be honest, that's how I gained professional momentum in the first 15 years of my career.
But this work ethic becomes limiting. It's not sustainable; you just can't continue to do more and more and more. Expectations are a good thing to talk about. What are your expectations of yourself? Where do they come from? Do you actually agree with them, or are you just doing something you were trained to do and you fell into the flow? Regarding expectations with your significant other, what are the expectations be between the two of you—mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually? What are you expecting from each other? Is there an expectation that needs to be reexamined? Before my husband and I had our five kids, we didn't really need to talk as intentionally about expectations. We didn't need to talk at all about whose job it was to get the kids ready for school in the morning, get them to school, help at night with homework.
I've talked to a lot of women and hear things like, "My husband's helping me with the kids. My husband's helping me with the house." These statements make me a bit crazy because it's not only your house, they're not only your kids. From a women in business perspective, there's some really unhealthy dialogue that has made women feel like if they aren't doing certain things, or look a certain way, or if their family doesn't look a certain way, then they're not relevant, not valued in this society.
Jesus is a great example of handling others' expectations. He did not allow other people's expectations to be His guide. He said, "I only do what My Father tells me to do." So who are you? What has God called you to do? Whatever your answer is, don't allow anything else to get piled onto your plate. This means getting really good at saying no. To understand why you're saying no, you must have a very clear vision of what is great.
Good is the enemy of great. There are a lot of good things we could be doing. However, if we are diminishing our impact by trying to do all the good things, we get to great in maybe one area but not in the areas that are important to us. If this is how you feel, this should be a red flag. If something is a priority to you, you're going to make it happen. Don't do something because "you should;" that means you're following somebody else's mindset for your life.
The final thing I'll say is this: Jesus leads us; Satan drives us. Jesus said, "I've come, that they may have life and have it to the full." When we are being led by God, even though we might be highly active and a lot of things might be happening, we have peace. When we're allowing ourselves to be driven by our own pride or by our own sense of who we should be, that is when we feel anxiety and frustration. We will feel disoriented because we are not grounded by the leadership that comes from the Holy Spirit in our lives.
Personally, I do not have this figured out. But after a long day, when I'm winding down and feel anxious or emotional turmoil, that's a good indicator for me to just check and ask, "Okay, how did this day go? What did I do throughout this day that brought me this anxiety or that left me with this emotion?" Many times, I feel that way because I've gotten caught up with internal thinking that's not serving me, like, "That person probably thought really badly of me in that meeting," or, "I can't believe I went in there and failed," or "My kids are going to fail in life because I missed that homework assignment." We create internal catastrophes, which aren't real, and those are great moments to just check ourselves and realize those thoughts aren't the Holy Spirit. If you're feeling those thoughts or emotions, just pause and unload, because you don't need to take drama with you into the next day.

Vail Resorts reports early pass sale boost
Local | June 9, 2015
Melanie Wong
The Vail Daily
VAIL — Vail Resorts reported a 10.9 percent increase in net earnings in the third fiscal quarter compared to last year, said CEO Rob Katz in a conference call Monday morning.
"We are pleased with our performance in the third quarter of fiscal 2015," said Katz. "Our results reflect the continued momentum from our growing season pass products, our ability to attract high-end destination guests to our collection of resorts and the profitable growth that we are driving across our business."
The 2014-15 season capped off a big year for the resort company, which is currently in the midst of a $50 million capital improvement project at the newly-acquired Park City Ski Resort and also is closing a deal with Perisher Ski Resort in Australia.
Colorado resorts enjoyed excellent spring conditions and gave the resort growth in lift ticket revenue (up 13.2 percent), lodging (up 1.7 percent) and ski school (up 6 percent), offsetting record low snowfall in Tahoe and unseasonably high temperatures in Utah, said Katz.
"We are pleased with our performance in the third quarter of fiscal 2015. Our results reflect the continued momentum from our growing season pass products, our ability to attract high-end destination guests to our collection of resorts and the profitable growth that we are driving across our business."Rob KatzCEO, Vail Resorts
The increases came despite a 1.4 percent decline in skier visits compared to last year for the quarter, which officials attributed partly to the 2015 FIS Alpine World Ski Championships in Vail during the month of February.
"That's the way the numbers played out, with the impact of the World Championships," Katz said. "However, we tend to look at the revenue that we're driving, and the trends are still very strong."
Resort courts destination season pass holders
Katz attributed part of the growth to Vail's season pass program.
"Through the third quarter of fiscal 2015, our season pass revenue grew 20.9 percent and represented 40.8 percent of our total lift revenue, contributing to the stability and overall growth we have experienced," he said. "The strong value proposition of our season pass products continues to drive significant growth in the number of destination guests purchasing season passes and maintains the loyalty of our more weather- and value-sensitive local guests."
Early season pass sales for the 2015-16 season are already off to a strong start, with sales up 12 percent in passes and 20 percent in sales dollars compared to the same period last year. The resort says a large part of that growth comes from destination skiers — people outside of Colorado, Utah and Tahoe — largely driven by the addition of Park City to the Epic Pass and marketing efforts, said Katz.
"The destination market has made up 43 percent of season pass sales. It used to represent 30 percent four years ago," he said. "I think absolutely adding Park City created a tipping point. People now feel they can ski Colorado, Tahoe and Utah on the same pass. Also, I think we've also become much more sophisticated in how we drive season pass sales, plus there's the acceptance and culture of a season pass."
Upgrades and additions
Vail Resorts is also in the midst of a number of upgrades and additions, the most recent being the acquisition of Perisher in Australia. Perisher season pass sales were up dramatically for that resort compared to last year. Perisher's Freedom Pass sales with Epic Benefits increased 68 percent compared to last year, with two-thirds of the growth coming after the acquisition (March 31 to June 2).
The resort expects to close on the deal in the fourth fiscal quarter for $135 million USD and expects Perisher to generate $16 million in net income in its first year of operation.
Katz said it is too early to tell if the addition will bring many Australian visitors to American resorts.
"Given how much of their growth came after we added access to our resorts, clearly that's a big driver. However, as we know through our other pass programs, skiing is aspirational, so people will buy the pass and maybe they're thinking about taking a trip, but we don't know how many of those people will actually make the trip," he said.
Capital projects include an ongoing $50 million upgrade to connect Park City Ski Resort and Canyons, which will make the combined resort the largest ski area in the country. Vail Resorts also plans to replace Chair 2, Avanti Express, in Vail with a high-speed six-pack.
During the earnings conference, Katz also alluded to the fact that Vail Resorts planned to stay competitive in market when it comes to wages and benefits, but declined to elaborate on details.
"In today's market, it's more important than anything to get and keep talent," he said. "I think that's something we can do."

Large visible scars could become a thing of the past.
From combat to everyday injuries, wound care is a vital part of healthcare. Patients in nursing homes, those recovering from amputations and diabetes complications, and so many more battle ongoing wounds. In fact, chronic wounds often take enormous amounts of time to heal, some never fully healing at all. However, in almost all of these cases, patients are left with scars, visible reminders of their trauma and pain. However, thanks to one new development, scar care might be getting a strange, but incredible, makeover.
Scars are formed as a result of "broken" collagen. When collagen fibers regrow it is in a different pattern that creates the visible scars that we're familiar with.
The impact of this discovery could be huge because scars can interfere with personal image, self-esteem, and long-term happiness. Previously, doctors used the skin protein decorin to reduce scars, but it is difficult to synthesize and produce.
Other researchers have developed alternative means of dealing with scars, like developing new compounds to restore skin to its natural structure, but Hyung Joon Cha and his colleagues at Pohang University of Science and Technology in South Korea decided, instead, to create a simpler version of decorin. Their "glue" uses the mussel gloop, a piece of the decorin protein, and a molecule that binds collagen.
This glue could completely change how we heal and move on from injuries. So many people have surgeries, stitches, or cuts of some kind. If this glue is as effective as it promises to be, large visible scars could be a thing of the past.
