A Forest of Masts
Soundscape Recording
On a windy day, the forest of masts at Lymington yacht marina create their own mournful musical composition, as the breeze blows the metal rigging wires against the aluminium masts on dozens of moored yachts. At times, the wind itself also joins in to add its own, almost voice-like, drone to the proceedings.

The New Forest Tape Collage
Sound Art Composition
For this Sound Art composition, I've reverted to long-lost analogue tape recorder techniques, and realised the work entirely on my old Ferrograph 7 reel to reel tape machine; a lovingly restored British recorder from way back in 1968 that was originally owned by the military (see photo above).
This piece is a magnetic tape sound collage… which is just like a visual art collage, but made with sound. You'll hear lots of different sounds from all over The New Forest, juxtaposed and combined with each other in unexpected ways and brought together to form a snapshot of the landscape and its people in just four and a half minutes. See how many of them your can recognise. Here's a bit more information on the concept and history of the tape collage in case you're interested…
While artists have been layering images and incorporating autonomous elements into their work since the advent of paper, collage truly emerged as a medium in its own right in the early years of the 20th century with the Cubist experiments of Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. The duo coined the term "collage" (from the French verb "coller," meaning "to glue" or "to stick") to describe works composed from pasted pieces of colored paper, newsprint, and fabric, considered at the time to be an audacious intermingling of high and low culture. It revolutionized modern art.
The collage concept was later applied to sound; in 1948 two French composers, Pierre Schaeffer and Pierre Henry, and their associates at Radiodiffusion et Télévision Française in Paris began to produce tape collages (analogous to collages in the visual arts), which they called musique concrète. All the materials they processed on tape were recorded sounds—sound effects, musical fragments, vocalizings, and other sounds and noises produced by man, his environment, and his artifacts. Such sounds were considered "concrete," hence the term musique concrète.

A Kayak Collage
A sound collage made from a variety of noises onboard my little one-man river kayak as I paddled downstream: captured with a small portable recorder safely wrapped in a protective plastic bag, and then combined back at my sound workshop using an audio sampler to form this sound art composition.
The hollow plastic kayak seemed to create, what I felt, was an interesting resonant sound similar to the soundbox of a big musical instrument such as a double bass.

Setting Sail
Ambient Music Composition
On any sunny, summer afternoon, the two tiny sailing clubs at Keyhaven — The New Forest's coastal hamlet on the Solent — are filled with people launching their dinghies and floating off for a spin around the sheltered waters. There's a uniquely tranquil ambience about the little place on days like this. I've tried to capture this feel in the composition, which features a combination of natural sounds from Keyhaven along with the music itself.

Windy Rigging
This composition is made from a recording of the sound of rigging wires on several small dinghies rattling against their metal masts in the wind. I've modified the pitches and turned the sounds into a musical piece using just those original sounds. The photograph shows Keyhaven, a beautiful sailing village within the New Forest National Park on the shores of The Solent. The landscape in the distance is the Isle of Wight. It's very close from near here.

Dawn from a Window in May
Soundscape Recording.
Wednesday morning, 6.30am in the middle of May, and it's dawned still and clear on the outskirts of this New Forest village. The early sun is rising up through the oak and beech trees, casting long, dappled shadows on the dew-covered lawn. Outside this open window, birds are singing enthusiastically greeting the advancing dawn.
Now and again a car hisses by on a nearby, quiet forest road, sounding like an ocean wave running up the shoreline and then fading away. Up above, sharing the blue sky with the sun, airliners hurry along at 30,000 feet or so, leaving fluffy, white vapour trails and adding their distant, rumbling voices to the soundscape. Listen for a while…

Distant Night Trains
Deep in the night, when the air is quiet and still, the eerie sound of distant trains sometimes floats through the forest. This soundscape was recorded near Brockenhurst at 11pm.

Arrive, Depart
I recorded this one quiet, early morning at Brockenhurst Railway Station. A train arrives and departs. The varied different sounds are quite amazing, and I loved the way that, after the train departed, gradually the sound of the rails faded away and nature took over once again.

The Lymington Train
Sound Art Composition.
This Sound Art composition has been created from recordings of the automated voice heard inside the Lymington to Brockenhurst train, together with the sound of the train interior. The interior has been transferred to analogue tape as a loop, which forms the basis of the piece.
The Lymington Railway, running between Brockenhurst and Lymington was established in 1856 and a temporary station opened at Lymington on 12 July 1858. A permanent station was opened at Lymington Town in 1860. Three years later the company acquired a ferry to the Isle of Wight. The company was absorbed by the London and South Western Railway in 1879. Services were extended to Lymington Pier in 1884.

Today, MBB welcomes SEUMAS GALLACHER, who escaped from the world of finance five years ago, after a career spanning three continents and five decades.
As the self-professed 'oldest computer Jurassic on the planet' his headlong immersion into the dizzy world of eBook publishing opened his eyes, mind, and pleasure to the joys of self-publishing. As a former businessman, he rapidly understood the concept of a writer's need to 'build the platform', and from a standing start began to develop a social networking outreach, which now tops 18,000 direct contacts.
His first two crime-thrillers, THE VIOLIN MAN'S LEGACY and VENGEANCE WEARS BLACK blew his mind with more than 75,000 e-link downloads to date. The third in what has become the 'Jack Calder' series, SAVAGE PAYBACK, was launched late 2013.
He started a humorous, informative, self-publishers blog less than two years ago, never having heard of a 'blog' prior to that, was voted 'Blogger of the Year 2013' and now has a loyal blog following on his networks. He says the novels contain his 'Author's Voice', while the blog carries his 'Author's Brand'. And he's LUVVIN IT!
Where did you get the inspiration for this book? SAVAGE PAYBACK is the third in the Jack Calder crime thriller series. Jack and his colleagues are ex-SAS commando officers, When I worked as a corporate troubleshooter in the Far East, one of my engagements required an armoured car and armed bodyguards 24/7 for three years. The guys who looked after me were trained by a former SAS officer, who became a pal. That was the genesis of the characterisations.. The stories are easy to devise --- just watch the cable news channels and change the names to protect the guilty!
Did it take you long to write it? From start to final edit, this one took about a year, as I believe I was continually honing my story-telling skills.
What's your average word count per day? I don't put any pressure on attaining word count.. I prefer to 'sculpt' the language and content as I go along. I edit and polish daily, which many people say I 'shouldn't' do.. I LUV when folks tell me what NOT to do!
Can you sum up your book in a Tweet-sized sentence? former SAS officers combat international crime lords using their black ops skills.


So, here's a funny story. I go outside to my car, and there on the… - her majesty's a pretty nice girl but she changes from day to day.
So, here's a funny story. I go outside to my car, and there on the windshield is a parking ticket citing my lack of a visitor's pass as the reason. It's tucked into my windshield wipers directly above said plainly visible visitor's pass. If looked at my car and you couldn't see the large block letters that said "VISITORS PASS", the only reason was because you were looking at the parking ticket on top of them.
No, seriously, I'm actually really amused. I left the parking ticket where it was, because honestly, it's like a work of art.
Nope, clearly my car. But it's funny.
oh.my. the parking person must have been blind or unable to read or really really stupid.
Oh, the life of a Nif.
It's like Cirque du Soleil as written by Hunter S. Thompson. Seriously.
LOL. That's a good way to put it. My first reaction was identical to SK's.


The outstanding volume and proportions are amplified by its pronounced shoulders and powerful wheelarches that, alongside new 21-inch wheels, combine to create a strong and dynamic attitude.
Someone put a lot of thought into describing the new animated functionality of the turn signals in the owner's manual for the updated 2018 Range Rover & Range Rover Sport. This is kind of a repost but the wording was so thorough I couldn't resist.
The animated turn signal feature is in place to improve the turn signal function by a sequential activation of their light sources. This is achieved by switching on consecutive segments of lights from inboard to outboard and during a defined period of time, creating a sweeping effect. Only lights with LED are able to reproduce any dynamic effect.
Ovalnews Mock-up 2017, Is this what The Range Rover could look like with InControl Touch Pro Duo?
Photoshop's Perspective Warp really helped to make this mock-up. I know it's not perfect and there is plenty to nitpick but the general concepts are there – InControl Touch Pro Duo, Steering Wheel Controls, Gauge graphic from Velar, Removed controls rear of Rotary Gear Selector. I was going to stick a Land Rover logo on there but couldn't get a version I liked.
Intelligent Seat Fold or just Remote Seat Fold?
World-renowned British adventurer and well-known Land Rover owner Bear Grylls took to the skies to put the New Discovery's Intelligent Seat Fold technology to the ultimate test. The system allows Discovery owners to configure their vehicle seating through the InControl Remote app on their smartphone from anywhere in the world – even in mid-air.
Having jumped from a plane with six members of the Royal Navy Parachute Display Team and freefalling at 125mph, Bear was able to change the vehicle's seating layout at the touch of a button on his smartphone before he had to deploy his parachute.
Once on the ground all the skydivers were able to jump into a camouflaged prototype of the New Discovery, which comfortably seats seven full-sized adults.
The world-first Intelligent Seat Fold technology allows the two rear rows of seats to be fully reconfigured in as as little as 14 seconds via the InControl Remote app downloaded on any iOS or Android operating system.
Official PR below for full story and yes like all the other tech they show off, seems cool – But, as we see 6 years later and they still can't even use the 12.3" Digital Gauges right in front of the driver for the demo.
Whitley, UK: Jaguar and Land Rover is investing in a 41 mile 'living laboratory' project on UK roads to develop new Connected and Autonomous Vehicle (CAV) technologies. The new CAV test corridor, which includes 41 miles of roads around Coventry and Solihull, will be used to evaluate new systems in real-world driving conditions.
The £5.5m 'UK-CITE' (UK Connected Intelligent Transport Environment) project will create the first test route capable of testing both vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure systems on public roads in the UK. New roadside communications equipment will be installed along the route during the three year project to enable the testing of a fleet of up to 100 connected and highly automated cars, including five Jaguar Land Rover research vehicles.
This fleet will test a range of different communication technologies1 that could share information at very high speeds between cars, and between cars and roadside infrastructure, including traffic lights and overhead gantries.
Rt Hon Sajid Javid MP, Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, today announced the UK Government's support for the UK-CITE research with a £3.41 million grant from the UK's innovation agency, Innovate UK. This funding for collaborative research is part of the Government's £100m Connected and Autonomous Vehicles fund.
Dr Wolfgang Epple, Director of Research and Technology, Jaguar Land Rover, said: "This real-life laboratory will allow Jaguar Land Rover's research team and project partners to test new connected and autonomous vehicle technologies on five different types of roads and junctions. Similar research corridors already exist in other parts of Europe so this test route is exactly the sort of innovation infrastructure the UK needs to compete globally.
"The connected and autonomous vehicle features we will be testing will improve road safety, enhance the driving experience, reduce the potential for traffic jams and improve traffic flow. These technologies will also help us meet the increasing customer demand for connected services whilst on the move."
Connected technologies are key enablers for future Intelligent Transport Systems. These would help traffic authorities monitor and manage traffic flow by capturing data from all connected vehicles and then provide the driver or autonomous car with guidance to optimise the journey.
To improve traffic flow, connected cars could co-operate and work together to make lane changing and exiting from junctions more efficient and safer. Technologies like Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC) would enable vehicles to autonomously follow each other in close formation, known as platooning, making driving safer and ensuring road space is used more efficiently.
In the future, warning messages that are today flashed onto an overhead gantry above a road could be sent direct to the dashboard – and repeated if necessary. This would have the potential to eventually replace the overhead gantry, which each cost around £1m to install.
The Jaguar Land Rover research team will be real-world testing a range of 'Over the Horizon' warning systems. As well as warning drivers, these would inform future autonomous vehicles, helping them react and respond to hazards and changing traffic conditions automatically.
Dr Epple added: "A well-informed driver is a safer driver, while an autonomous vehicle will need to receive information about the driving environment ahead. The benefits of smarter vehicles communicating with each other and their surroundings include a car sending a warning that it is braking heavily or stopping in a queue of traffic or around a bend. This will enable an autonomous car to take direct action and respond. Drivers would receive a visual and audible warning that another car is causing a hazard out of sight or over the horizon.
"The approach of an emergency vehicle can often be stressful for drivers. If we can inform the driver, or the autonomous car, much earlier that an emergency vehicle is approaching, we can ensure that the best decisions are made to move the vehicle out of the way safely and conveniently, to let the emergency vehicle pass by."
Jaguar Land Rover's 'Emergency Vehicle Warning' system would identify that a connected ambulance, fire engine or police car is approaching through car-to-car communication. The driver would then receive a warning, long before flashing lights and sirens are audible or visible.

While on a multi-engine training exercise, the Student Pilot conducted an approach to Runway (RWY) 34 at Cork Airport (EICK) where a go-around was performed, followed by a left-hand circuit. The final part of the exercise required simulating an engine failure following climb-out, completing the necessary drills and continuing the circuit for a full-stop landing. The landing gear was not extended and the aircraft came to rest on the runway, incurring damage to the propellers and exhausts. There were no injuries to the three occupants on board. There was no fire.

The aircraft was on a flight from Riga Airport (EVRA), Latvia, to Dublin Airport (EIDW), Ireland. The flight was uneventful until the aircraft began its final approach into Dublin, at which point the Flight Crew received a warning of a spoiler fault. They carried out the appropriate checklist, which included an increase of 8 kts to the final approach speed. However, at this speed, and with landing flap selected, the Commander, who was Pilot Flying (PF), experienced difficulties controlling the aircraft in roll. The Commander further increased the approach airspeed, which improved controllability, and the aircraft landed normally. There were no injuries.

The aircraft, with a solo Student Pilot on board, was carrying out a cross-country navigation exercise from Waterford Airport (EIWF), via Shannon Airport (EINN) and Cork Airport (EICK), with the intention of returning to EIWF. During the landing at EICK, control of the aircraft was lost, and it impacted at the threshold of runway (RWY) 16. The aircraft came to rest on the runway threshold, upright, with the left main-gear and nose-gear detached. The Student Pilot exited the aircraft uninjured. There was no fire.
EI-AEM, Cessna 140, Private
Whilst landing at a private airfield, near Delvin, Co. Westmeath, the Cessna '140' aircraft, with one Pilot on board, experienced a bounced landing. Following the bounced landing, the Pilot applied the brakes in an attempt to bring the aircraft to a halt. The aircraft subsequently pitched forward, overturned and came to rest, inverted, on the runway. The Pilot sustained minor bruising. There was no fire.
G-KNYS, Cessna 208B, Parachuting Caravan Leasing Ltd.
The Cessna 208B aircraft took off from Runway (RWY) 27 at Clonbullogue Airfield (EICL), Co. Offaly at approximately 13.13 hrs UTC4. The occupants on board were the Pilot, who was seated in the left-hand cockpit seat, a passenger (a young child), who was seated in the right-hand cockpit seat, and 16 skydivers, who occupied two bench seats in the main cabin. When the aircraft was over EICL at an altitude of approximately 13,000 feet, the 16 skydivers exited from the aircraft as planned. As the aircraft was returning to the airfield, the Pilot advised airfield personnel by radio that he was on "left base5 ". No further radio transmissions were received. A short while later it was established that the aircraft had impacted in a forested area at Ballaghassan, Co. Offaly, which is approximately 2.5 nautical miles (NM) to the north-west of EICL. The aircraft was destroyed. The Pilot and passenger were fatally injured. There was no fire.

As more and more school systems across the country explore "going competency-based," we need to be attentive to the processes that will actually allow such innovations to thrive. Current time- and age-based accountability measures have a stronghold on schools, even those trying to break away from the factory model of education. As a result, we would predict that time-based metrics and incentives could cannibalize many efforts to reinvent learning in a competency-based manner.
Competency Based Learning 169
Principal Chris Huckans believes that competency-based education (CBE) is one of the keys to the school's success. Huckans says that Bishop Hall's use of the Brightspace learning management system provides students with highly personalized learning pathways, which "allow them to innovate and experiment." He adds, "Kids are allowed to learn at their own pace, and can learn experientially." Portfolios also highlight learning's natural progression.

It's no longer a given that if a child spends twelve years in school, he or she will learn enough to succeed in higher education or a career. If a student fails to learn a skill, he or she accepts that result and moves on to the next topic with the rest of the class.

Blended and personalized learning practices are often in flux in classrooms, schools, and districts. Practitioners aren't just trying to learn the latest from peers, but to share and develop the tactics that can make learning more student-centered and equitable. Enter our annual Blended and Personalized Learning Conference in Providence, Rhode Island. Developing competency-based learning models over time and trials.
For the past few years at the Institute, we've heard stories about Brazilian teachers trying out blended learning. To explore these trends more deeply, we published our first international blended-learning research paper in November, Blended Beyond Borders , in partnership with the WISE Initiative. Through these partners, we administered a survey to capture whether and why schools were going blended. Blended learning can give students more options.
From the right to the left, from those who support school choice to those who have sought to protect traditional school districts, from superintendents and principals to the presidents of the two major teachers unions, and from industry leaders to researchers, a diverse group of unlikely bedfellows released on Tuesday a new effort and accompanying report to rethink education in America titled Education Reimagined: A transformational vision for education in the U.S.
In the summer of 2016, a community of educators, research design partners, and over 150 teens and young adults in Colorado engaged in a bold experiment to rethink how quality and impact might be measured in a modernized system of learning. In this relatively small, short-cycle prototype, the lessons we learned were significant. Why focus outside of formal learning time for our design work? Framework for the Future of Learning.

As a former New York City high school teacher, I know that parent-teacher conferences seldom provide parents with enough time to process what their children learned, what they're interested in, and what needs improvement. These conferences are rarely original and are often a missed opportunity to truly connect with parents about something beyond the report card. Talk about what's being learned, not what's missing.
The program—short for "no grades, no grades"—is hallmarked by the schools shifting to a more competency-based assessment structure and removal of grade levels. Mary Earick, project director for NG2, says the purpose of the program is to create more flexible learning pathways for students through "competency-based multiage schooling," which allows students to move on to new objectives only after mastering others.

At schools using flexible, blended, mastery-based learning approaches, an anchoring relationship plays an indispensable role in keeping students engaged and on track in their education. Create "downtime" that fosters social-emotional learning.

It's been a couple of years since there has been a StinkyDog Beads giveaway. Since then, Kitty Bozzini has expanded her inventory to include many gorgeous items. She started out as a lampwork artisan but now offers unique one of a kind findings as well as the uncommon ones. She has an uncanny eye for the sort of sumptuous beads, charms, clasps that can add that something extra to any jewelry design.
It was incredibly hard to pick my favorites to feature here! Her animal clasps were wonderful. She also stocks Super New Glue (not the usual Super Glue which can become brittle with time) which I have found to be excellent for the Regaliz style bracelets. It's the only glue I use for that kind of application.
There are many types of cast metal beads. The sea theme ones are lovely. What's more, she also offers some with different finishes. Kitty also caters to those who love the beautiful patina colors but not so much the patination process.
Sea glass is getting harder to find. So if you just like the look of frosted glass, check out the faux sea glass which Kitty calls cultured recycled "sea glass". The sea horse ones are so cool!
Great selection of Czech beads, too!
Kitty also supports other handmade artisans. These lovely ceramic bird beads are by Gaea Cannaday.
The ethnic cotton cords are unusual and with lovely bright colors.
Some of the more unusual items in the store are real preserved wood beads.
Have a look around this wonderful store. StinkyDog Beads has a number of incentives including 15% off your first order and newsletter signup. There is also a rewards program as well as a discount incentive if you share a design.
If you'd like to win a $35 Gift Certificate from StinkyDog Beads, please make a comment below. Make sure you leave contact info below if you do not have an online shop or blog.
It ends in a week's time at 6 pm EST Monday, April 18 , 2016 . I will pick the winner randomly and announce the results as soon as possible after. So be sure to leave a contact email if you don't have an online link or make sure you come back and check! Otherwise I will redraw in a week. Good luck!
What cool looking beads, I agree I love the seahorses.

I am SO PSYCHED that you are doing another Stinky Dog Beads giveaway!! I was introduced to Stinky Dog through your first giveaway for them a couple of years ago, and I have been a loyal fan ever since. In addition to loving their WONDERFUL shop name (as I, myself, have my own pack of "Stinky Dogs", and who doesn't love shopping from a store named "Stinky Dog"?!), they always carry an amazing supply of artisan beads and components that you simply can't find anywhere else. They carry some of the most exquisite Czech glass beads, and their Greek cast metal components are awesome. However, some of the coolest things I have found at Stinky Dog are those wonderful little figural clasps and components they always have. Simply put, Stinky Dog beads ROCKS!!
I just adore the metal beads which would look fabulous on my horsehair braided bracelets. Stunning!
Please enter me to win these gorgeous beads!
I suspect you will get a record number of comments for this giveaway, it looks so wonderful.
Once again Pearl this looks like an amazing give away. Awesome and unusual things offered at Stinkydog Beads, that in itself is a rarity.

What an incredible and unusual selection. Right up my alley! I do not like using what everyone else uses. I prefer to make things that look different and stand out as unique. Stinky Dog Beads certainly fits that bill from beads to stringing to clasps - all of it.
I don't care if Lady Luck doesn't shine on me again this time - I'm in there. Wish me luck. If I don't come out in a couple of days - send in help!
You have so many beautiful and inspiring items! On Etsy as HerARTofStone ... HerARTofStone@yahoo.com ... and thanks to Lorelei Eurto for posting this on Facebook ... Thanks! Mary Ann.

Each bottle is 120ml. The bottles can be bought individually or as a "Glove Care System" pack.
The GloveGlu range is scientifically designed to improve your goalkeeper gloves from cleaning to play. The patented formula is non toxic, safe for the environment and will not damage your goalkeeper gloves.
Wash with Glove Wash & Prepare: Enhance the performance and longevity of your latex with the scientifically formulated GloveGlu Wash & Prepare. The exclusive DirTECH solution lifts dirt particles away from the latex, improves the surface and prepares the gloves.
Refresh with GloveFresh: Keep your gloves smelling fresh and odor free with GloveGlu Glove Fresh. Due to its unique antibacterial formula, Glove Fresh is guaranteed to remove all odors caused by bacteria growing in your goalkeeper gloves.
Revive with GloveGlu: Revive your old gloves or improve your new ones. GloveGlu enhances the grip of any goalkeeper glove with its unique forumla. It can be applied before or during the game and is equally effective in wet or dry conditions. It is suitable for any type of goalkeeper glove palm.
This sure helps the gloves last longer!
The glue is pretty awesome. It is very sticky. I have not used to wash or glove fresh yet, but I have heard they both work well too.
The GloveGlu gives a really great grip on the ball and prevents giving up rebounds, will definitely use on all my future gloves.
It is so simple to use. I am very happy with the way my gloves look after I wash them. The gllve glu helps so much catching slippery balls.
The only problem I have is that the GloveGlu leaks a bit when shaken, causing somewhat of a sticky mess. Not too big an inconvenience, though. As for the rest, I absolutely adore the Wash and Prepare. It works wonders.
These products should be worth their weight in gold if they can extend the life of my daughter's goalie gloves.
The wash and the refresh sprays work great. Havent needed to use the glu yet since the first two are doing their jobs.
Glove Glu- Would primarily recommend this product for practice gloves. My game gloves become my practice gloves, when they lose their original stick, tackiness, grip and effectiveness. This product works very well to extend the life of keeper gloves, especially for practice gloves, that have lost the original tackiness and grip.

Josh Bailey is not going to win any "most popular Islander" awards, ever. With middling and often uninspired play over the course of his career, it's hard to find a fan that would ardently stick up for him.
Although on the Isles at the same time as other players the likes of John Tavares, Kyle Okposo, Frans Nielsen and Travis Hamonic, Bailey was never a part of the youth that grew and contributed to the Islanders' successes.
At this point in his New York Islanders career, he's got two years left on his contract and needs to make team brass happy enough to keep him around past that. With little value to the rest of the NHL and no real evidence that he'll be more than a third-liner with potential, Bailey is running out of time.
The question now is can Bailey be a real part of the team's core if given an opportunity?
Much like Brock Nelson, Bailey was awful over the past 25 games of the season, scoring just two goals and ending the season with 12 goals and 32 points. Spending just about 15 percent of his even strength ice-time with John Tavares, Bailey was sandwiched on the second and third lines for most of the season. Despite four power play goals, Bailey was never a fixture with the man-advantage and was only positioned there when other players faltered.
Regardless of where the Islanders drafted him and their one-time confidence in his future, it all seems gone at this point. When you think of players that the Isles could leave unprotected in the expansion draft next season, Bailey immediately comes to mind.
Bailey has to shoot more, even in his current place on the depth chart. His career high is 140 shots and although he has a quality release and the speed and hustle to get himself in prime shooting areas, evidenced by his two-goal game against the Lightning in last year's playoffs, he's just not consistent at it to be a star. He's never been. Rushed to the NHL at 18, Bailey never got the AHL seasoning some many younger first-round picks get. Not the pedigree on offense or defense that you'd expect from a top-round selection either, Bailey needs a real opportunity. Not a handful of games tryout with Tavares or Ryan Strome. Bailey needs the trust of the coaching staff to play in all situations. But considering his past, why would he?
The only way that happens is if PA Parenteau isn't up to being the first-liner the Isles need him to be. In season's past, New York was forced to provide linemates for their captain by committee and Bailey always gets a crack at creating chemistry with one of the most dynamic players in the NHL. Thrust into a great situation, Bailey has to prove himself. If he gets an opportunity to play top minutes, this is the last time. Make or break time. Simply put, Bailey needs to come to camp in the best shape of his career and grittier than ever.
Regardless of who he plays with, Bailey is a lock for 10 goals and 20 assists, making him a depth player, at best. Not exactly worth the $7.7 million he's owed over the next two seasons, Bailey, who will also have a few youngsters vying for roster spots this camp as well, my find himself disposable. Still, with a roster spot, Bailey needs to become a player he's never proven he can be.

I'm trying out a new (monthly? weekly?) feature here on FSR. Although I generally pair books with food mentioned within the text, I thought I'd pair favorite quotations with a thematically matching song. Am I the first to do this? Certainly not. I'm not sure there are any original ideas in the world anymore, but I am borrowing this fine one from Literary Jukebox.
Do I worry that no one will be interested in this but me? Of course, but generally a personal (book) blog is designed to reflect personal (book) interests. And that is what I'm doing. I'm just thankful that the book blogging community is a kind one and not one given to being snarky and mean (have you ever read GOMI, yikes).
Book: Human beings are remarkable – at what we can learn to live with. If we couldn't get strong from what we lose, and what we miss, and what we want and can't have, then we couldn't ever get strong enough, could we?
Because What You Read Is Not Who You Are…? I Hope.

Stalling life expectancy is a warning light for public health in Scotland
Two reports published recently (08 February 2019) show that the increase in life expectancy that has shown steady progress in Scotland since the Second World War, has now stalled and that health inequalities have worsened. In the past seven years, Scotland has seen the slowest growth in life expectancy, since at least the late 1970s and death rates have now begun to rise for people living in our poorest areas.
These trends mean it will take nearly 21 years to add a year to a women's life expectancy, and 11.5 years to add a year to a man's. Over the previous 20 years (1992-2011) life expectancy gain was much faster, taking just 5.5 years to add a year to a woman's life expectancy, and 4 years for a man. Scotland has the lowest life expectancy in the UK. At the current slow rates of improvement, life expectancy in Scotland won't catch up with the life expectancy England had in 2016 until 2058 (for women) and 2045 (for men).
In addition, between 2006 and 2011, death rates were lower across all of society – including in our poorest areas. However, from 2012 to 2017, death rates in our poorest areas increased by 1%, meaning that health inequalities also increased.
Dr Gerry McCartney, Head of the Public Health Observatory at NHS Health Scotland, recently said:
"What we see here is a worrying trend. Life expectancy not only gives an indication of how long people are likely to live, but also serves as a 'warning light' for the public's health. In addition, the fact that socioeconomic position now plays a bigger role in how long you live than it did before is cause for concern.
"There are likely to be a number of factors at play. The strongest candidates are recent policies that address recent economic setbacks which have reduced spending on benefits, squeezed incomes and trapped people in poverty – these may all have contributed. Cuts to council budgets and pressures on key local services, such as social care, could also have had an impact. There have been some severe flu outbreaks in recent years which will have increased demands on services too. All of these factors – and more – are likely to be important in explaining the recent trends. Whilst there is further work to do to clarify the causes, we know enough to recommend action now.
"Protecting budgets for services that determine our health (like social care, housing, social security benefits and so on) and ensuring they are provided according to need is crucial. Reducing poverty for all groups across the population and protecting the most vulnerable is also necessary. And, we need to maximise the take-up of the flu vaccine amongst all those who are eligible. With a concerted effort, based on the best available evidence, I believe it is possible to reverse the trends we've highlighted, and create a fairer healthier Scotland for all."
Jim McCormick, Associate Director (Scotland) of the independent Joseph Rowntree Foundation, recently said:
"As a country we believe in protecting each other from harm. But today's findings show our record on tackling poverty and health inequalities in Scotland is unravelling. It cannot be right that someone's life expectancy is held back by where they live or how much money their family has.
"We have a duty to redesign the systems sweeping people into poverty. A rising tide of in-work poverty and high housing costs, combined with the benefits freeze, are making it harder for people to achieve a decent life. National and local government, employers and communities must all work together to take bold action to solve poverty."

When do you usually take on a decluttering project?
Probably the same as I do… when you just get FED UP with it!
Sometimes it feels like playing a giant game of whack-a-mole. You organize one area only for another one to pop up somewhere else.
Table or counter is clear one day, then full of random clutter the next.
A cluttered house is much more than a home that feels crowded or messy. It creates problems that spill over into other areas of our lives.
Most of us do not decide to tackle a cluttered house in a positive mindset. We reach the point of feeling stressed out and completely overwhelmed by the chaos. This leads to an ongoing source of frustration and feeling defeated.
Below are seven ways that clutter affects your life.
#1- Clutter steals our time.
A cluttered house takes up a whole lot of your time. Time wasted by looking for what you need.
Not too long ago, we needed some important paperwork to complete a sale of a pre-owned vehicle. Of course this happens when someone is waiting and time is of the essence. This incident was stressful and it was the final straw that led to using tools for organizing paperwork.
If we would have had this in place sooner, then we would have gained so much time since paper had become a big problem area for us. We tackled it when we were ticked!
Avoid the frantic search and gain back your time by fixing the areas that bother you the most. Once that problem area is fixed, you can move on to the next in a better frame of mind.
Many people start decluttering at a point when they just feel completely overwhelmed. If dishes are in the sink, then they are ready to wash (or load in the dishwasher). When they are all over the house, it creates a feeling of chaos.
It's not dishes in our home, it's out of control toy clutter. It also leads to tension and some less than ideal family moments when I want to relax, but it hard to do so under a tsunami of toys!
For us, and maybe you too, there are some areas that are constantly a work in progress. It requires consistently following the "one in, one out" rule and getting rid of unused items.
#3- Clutter zaps our energy.
A messy environment leads to a disorganized mind. Being surrounded by clutter makes it hard to concentrate and zaps your energy. You lose focus and motivation.
An organized space can truly give you a sense of freedom. It's much easier to focus and find what we need with more feng shui in our home!
Once I helped a friend reorganize a laundry room space and she commented, "I just feel like I can breathe easier." That's a good way to put it. A space in order gives us back a sense of positivity and productivity.
Clutter leads to stress and steals our joy. It takes us on an emotional roller coaster. What makes it even more interesting is, most of the time, it's created by things in our home that we're not even using!
If this is true, and I believe it is, then less clutter means less stress. Yes, please!
Clutter causes us to buy things we don't need because we don't really even know what already have! We buy more stuff to hold our stuff… a cabinet, a storage building, a shelf.
I have a family member who used to rent storage units. Sometimes people rented them because they had run out of space in their home. Others were moving and didn't have enough room in their new space. They would rent these spaces for several months and rarely came to the units to get something out that they needed. Paying to store things not even missed?
Instead of clutter costing money, there are ways for clutter to make money! Better yet, why not give things away that bring others joy? It's only useful if you're getting use from it!
#6- Clutter crowds our thoughts.
Clutter doesn't just take physical space, it takes up mental space. We spend time thinking about it and worrying about it. This creates limiting beliefs instead of a healthy growth mindset.
To get rid of it in our minds, we have to get rid of it in our homes. That honestly is the best way to win the war with clutter- clear it out! You can't organize clutter, physically or mentally.
If clutter does indeed have a spill over effect into our lives in all of the ways mentioned, it will cause problems in our relationships with our family and friends.
It can lead to arguments and a space that creates tension with those who share our home and hearts. Not worth it!
The hope is that this is motivation to start decluttering to transform your home (and life) by taking on projects in a different mindset.
Clearing the clutter is going to do just as much for our day to day lives as it does the condition of our home.
It's accomplished by a process, one area at a time. By accomplishing a little, you will find motivation to do more.
By removing physical items from your home, you'll be making more space and time for things that you love. The process can lead to improving your life and your relationships. It's liberating. That's worth so much more than something else to dust!
Hi Christine. I would start with a small space, like a drawer or cabinet, and do projects that give you a "quick win" with organizing. Then it doesn't seem so overwhelming and you can take on bigger projects as you go. Thanks for commenting!
