Effortless Strategies For Getting Your House In Order | Team ...

When you plan on organizing your home do not think it will be tricky, but you do need to commit to a certain amount of your time and energy. Initially, you will need to lay out a format and then allocate the time necessary to work on the project. Keep in mind there is no achievement too small to make an impact; even something like cleaning out one of your drawers. Our intent is to present some ways to help you organize your home as to lessen the stress and frustration caused by the chaos.

People use so much paper, in various forms, that it must be dealt with when your home gets reorganized. Paper is still a problem for a lot of people, even in the digital age of today. Think of some of the things that people get like, junk mail, catalogs, and newspapers. You need some kind of way to organize paper stuff, like mail, so you will always know where it is at. It doesn?t matter what you use, file folders, shoe boxes, or drawers, just anything that works. If you don?t have one already, you should get yourself a good paper shredder. To get rid of clutter more safely, the shredder will cut up your old financial statements, as well as bills, and other no longer needed documents. To get rid of other things and keep them from piling up, like catalogs or junk mail, you need to have either a box, or a recycling bin.

As you can clearly see, what you will find out about home organizing is some points are far more significant than others. But that can vary a bit, and it really just depends on how you want to use the information. But we are not finished, yet, and there is usually much more to be revealed. The balance of this read contains much more that will help your particular situation. What you are about to read will greatly enhance your knowledge, and we will go even beyond that point, too.

Quite often you will find that your home has clutter and disorganization, because you have a habit of buying things that get piled up. There are so many paperback books, along with magazines, and also the tabloids, and do you really have to buy them? These are items that tend to cause clutter around the house. Every item you purchase, you should really think about, especially if it is an electronic device, but even some kind of clothing. When you want to buy something, and you don?t need it right away, two weeks is the minimum time you should wait. It might be worth buying, if, after that amount of time, you still think that you need it. Anytime you can save money by not buying a product that you really didn?t need, that is a good thing, and if it keeps your house less messy, that is a bonus.

To change the entire atmosphere of your home, the one thing that will make a big difference, is to reorganize your kitchen. First of all, get rid of any appliances that don?t work or anything that?s broken or chipped that isn?t worth repairing. This can create some extra space, and it can also be a better feeling not to have to look at broken items. Anything in the refrigerator that has gone bad or won?t be eaten, throw away, and then do the same thing to all of the cupboards. Things will look much better if you rearrange everything that you are keeping, as you are discarding things. Keep the kitchen counters as clear as possible, so put away dishes, pots, pans and appliances when you?re done using them.

You have many options available to you when it comes to organizing your home. Even the slightest action taken to uplifting your living conditions, like removing a few items or a different arrangement; can make a huge addition to the look of your home. Anytime you can steer clear of disorder and keep your living space free of clutter, you will have a clearer way of thinking.

Loss of wild insects hurts crops around the world

Friday, March 1, 2013

Researchers studying data from 600 fields in 20 countries have found that managed honey bees are not as successful at pollinating crops as wild insects, primarily wild bees, suggesting the continuing loss of wild insects in many agricultural landscapes has negative consequences for crop harvests.

The study, which prompts an urgent call to maintain and manage pollinator diversity for long-term agricultural production, is published today in the prestigious journal Science.

The 50 international researchers, including Lawrence Harder, professor in the Department of Biological Sciences in the Faculty of Science at the University of Calgary, analysed data from 41 crop systems around the world including fruits, seeds, nuts, and coffee to examine the consequences of having abundant wild pollinators for crop pollination.

"Our study demonstrates that production of many fruit and seed crops that make diets interesting, such as tomatoes, coffee and watermelon, is limited because their flowers are not adequately pollinated," says Harder. "We also show that adding more honey bees often does not fix this problem, but that increased service by wild insects would help."

Flowers of most crops need to receive pollen before making seeds and fruits, a process that is enhanced by insects that visit flowers. These pollinators, including bees, flies, butterflies and beetles, usually live in natural or semi-natural habitats, such as the edges of forests, hedgerows or grasslands. As these habitats are lost, primarily owing to conversion to agriculture, the abundance and diversity of pollinators decline and crops receive fewer visits from wild insects.

The study found that the proportion of flowers producing fruits was considerably lower in sites with fewer wild insects visiting crop flowers. Therefore, the reduction of wild insects in agricultural landscapes will likely impact both our natural heritage and agricultural harvest.

"Paradoxically, most common approaches to increase agricultural efficiency, such as cultivation of all available land and the use of pesticides, reduce the abundance and variety of wild insects that could increase production of these crops," says Harder. "Our study highlights the benefits of considering this paradox in designing and implementing agricultural systems."

The study suggests that new practices for integrated management of both honey bees and wild insects will enhance global yields of animal-pollinated crops and promote long-term agricultural production. These practices should include conservation or restoration of natural or semi-natural areas within croplands, promotion of a variety of land use, addition of diverse floral and nesting resources, and more prudent use of insecticides that can kill pollinators.

Basically No One in Russia Thought That Meteor Was a Meteor

Last month, a giant meteor exploded over Russia. Ground zero was the Ural city of Chelyabinsk, where 1500 people were injured and thousands of buildings were destroyed. About half the city's million people saw the meteor, but most of them didn't know it was a meteor at all. More »

'Switched at Birth' goes silent to make a point

LOS ANGELES (AP) ? "Until hearing people walk a day in our shoes, they will never understand," says a guidance counselor at a high school for deaf students in "Switched at Birth."

Such insights are a staple of the ABC Family drama, a TV rarity that puts deaf characters, played by deaf or hard-of-hearing actors, at the center of the action.

But Monday's episode takes it a bold step further: Save for a few spoken words at the beginning and the end, it is silent. The actors' hands do the talking with American Sign Language, even rapping together in one gleeful sequence.

Subtitles, which are typically sprinkled throughout "Switched at Birth" episodes, keep the viewer clued in. But when a deaf character is confused because she can't hear something vital, the audience is too. It's powerfully disconcerting.

The cast, including Oscar-winner Marlee Matlin as the school counselor, are excited about what they see as a grand experiment and eager for viewer reaction.

"This is an opportunity for the hearing person to watch at home and try to experience it," said Katie Leclerc, who stars as deaf teenager Daphne Vasquez. "It's not exactly the same, but maybe you can try to imagine what your everyday life would be like."

"It's a risk," added Leclerc, who has an inner ear disorder, Meniere's disease, that can cause hearing loss and vertigo.

"A big risk," Matlin said through a sign language-interpreter. "But it's going to be an eye-opener. I'm very proud to be part of this risk-taking, history-making episode."

Matlin knows about making history. She was the first ? and remains the only ? deaf person to receive an Academy Award acting trophy, honored as best actress for 1986's "Children of a Lesser God."

The "Switched at Birth" episode pivots on another key moment for the deaf community: A 1988 student protest at Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C., that ended the unbroken succession of hearing presidents at the school for the deaf.

For fictional Carlton High School (inspired by real-life LA school, Marlton), more is at stake: The school faces closure because of funding cuts, which means its students will be "mainstreamed" with hearing teens.

(It mirrors a real-life trend caused by budget constraints, Leclerc said. There's also an increasing number of children being given cochlear implants to counter hearing loss, itself a controversial issue, according to series creator and executive producer Lizzy Weiss.)

The prospect is dreaded by the Carlton students, either because they've felt the sting of being an outsider or because they treasure being part of a deaf-oriented school.

"Deaf people feel that moving into the mainstream chips away at their community, which is about language and culture," said Jack Jason, Matlin's longtime interpreter and the series' on-set arbiter for correct sign-language use.

With Daphne as the driving force and invoking Gallaudet, students mobilize to take over the administration building and demand Carlton's survival. The conflict's ending will wait for the March 11 season finale.

The uprising panics parents and puts relationships at risk, including that of Daphne and Bay Kennish (Vanessa Marano), the switched-at-birth characters of the title who have come together as teenagers from two very different households.

"We started in the pilot with just one scene that was pure ASL," involving Daphne and Emmett (Sean Berdy), said Weiss. As the series developed, she and her writing team began pondering the "what-if" of an all-sign language episode for the second season.

Then ABC Family approached her with the same idea, and the challenge was on to find a logical and engaging way to realize the ASL-only goal and a big enough story to make the most of it.

Last year, a "CSI: NY" episode took a stab at a nearly silent episode, using music by Green Day for most of its storytelling before reverting to dialogue in the final act.

The solution for "Switched at Birth" was to make sure every scene included a deaf character: "The truth is, when you're around people who are deaf, it's considered rude not to sign if you know how," Weiss said.

To avoid overloading viewers with subtitles the story was designed to be highly visual, including scenes of the student protest complete with picket signs and a defiant "Take Back Carlton" banner unfurled from the occupied school building.

Although some moments depict the pitfalls of being a deaf person in a hearing world, Weiss said, that's balanced by positive aspects.

"If you have been anything that's in the minority ? gay, Jewish, a woman, anything ? you have some piece of your identity that brings with it a lot of baggage and hardship, but also a lot of pride," Weiss said. "That's what we're trying to connect with."

The episode also highlights the beauty of ASL and its "coolness," such as being able to sign across a crowded theater and have an essentially private conversation, she said.

As with a silent movie ? last year's Oscar-winning "The Artist" the latest case in point ? "Switched at Birth" includes music intended to reflect the characters' internal lives. A viewer could add to the silence by muting it, but Weiss said that misses the point.

The episode "is not about silence, or 'absence of' sound. It's about language and culture and seeing the world from the point of view of a deaf person, and our perspective is that deaf people's inner lives are not silent," she said.

Matlin, whose counselor is a recurring character on "Switched at Birth," said the episode is an emotional and professional high point for her, one she would like to see exceeded.

"I never thought in my life I would see this happen. But I want to go further in terms of using deaf actors. ... I want (Steven) Spielberg to say, 'Hey, we want to use deaf actors.' Why not? And, hey, let's have the same respect for actors who are deaf as for those who are hearing.

"I don't know if we'll ever get there, but never say never," Matlin said.

Moscow says US aid for Syria helps 'extremists'

The Kremlin has urged the US to move cautiously. Moscow claims it is doing all it can to promote a settlement in Syria that avoids an Afghanistan-style militant blowback.

By Fred Weir,?Correspondent / March 1, 2013

Russia's President Vladimir Putin (r.) listens to France's President Fran?ois Hollande during a joint news conference after talks in Moscow's Kremlin Thursday. Russia and France agreed on Thursday that Syria must not be allowed to break up but differed on other aspects of the two-year-old conflict, Putin said.

Alexsey Druginyn/RIA Novosti/Reuters

Russia accelerated the war of words over Syria today, accusing the US of undermining recent efforts to move toward a negotiated settlement?between the Bashar al-Assad regime and its opponents by "encouraging extremists" at this week's Friends of Syria meeting in Rome. The US announced at the meeting that it was stepping up material aid to rebels in a bid to "change the balance of power" in the two-year civil war that's already killed more than 70,000 people.

"There is a general understanding within the international community that there is no military solution to the Syrian crisis," Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich said in a statement posted today on the ministry?s website.?

"Meanwhile, judging by incoming reports, the decisions made in Rome, as well as the statements that were made there, both in letter and in spirit, encourage extremists to seize power by force, regardless of the inevitable suffering of ordinary Syrians," he added.

Russia, the chief backer and arms supplier of the Assad regime, says the pieces are falling into place for a realistic peace process in Syria, and that it is doing all it can to pressure Mr. Assad to accept the need for sweeping change.

The Russians allege that the US is sabotaging those hopes. Mr. Lukashevich pointed to the final communique of the Rome meeting, signed by US Secretary of State John Kerry and other Western leaders, which underlined "the need to change the balance of power on the ground."

Mr. Kerry also pledged to double US nonlethal assistance directly to Syrian rebels, including food and medical supplies, although that is still far less than the weapons and ammunition the rebels are asking for.

Moscow claims it has convinced the Syrian dictator to form a negotiating team that's ready to hold talks with the rebels, with an aim to creating a transitional government that could enforce a ceasefire, rewrite the constitution, and set elections to carry Syria beyond the Assad era.

After meeting with French President Fran?ois Hollande in the Kremlin yesterday, Vladimir Putin hinted to journalists that Russia and France are on the same page about the need to work together to promote "political dialogue that would involve all sides in the conflict."

Earlier this week Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov held intensive discussions?with Kerry and, according to Mr. Lavrov, the two agreed that "we shall do all we can to create conditions for the soonest start of a dialogue between the government and the opposition."

And today Moscow hosted leading Syrian opposition figure Manaf Tlass, a former elite army commander and childhood friend of Assad who defected to the rebels last summer.?

In an interview with the Voice of Russia,?Mr. Tlass said that Russia and the US should work together to create a transitional government composed of moderates from both the regime and from rebel ranks in order to save Syria from the evil twin alternatives of dictatorship or takeover by Islamist radicals.

"In Syria there is a third party that doesn't support the regime or the extremists," Tlass said.?

"Most Syrians don't want to choose between these two extremes, they want to go about their lives in a stable and secure state. . . Russia has enough political clout to help find a solution," he added.?

Andrei Klimov, deputy chair of the State Duma's international affairs committee, argues that in encouraging the rebels to press on to military victory, the US is repeating the same mistake it made in backing anti-Soviet mujahedin fighters in Afghanistan during the 1980s.

"This [bloody civil war] came to this critical point only because somebody provided Syrian rebels with sophisticated weapons and everything they need to fight the regime, short of military intervention," Mr. Klimov says.

"It reminds me a lot the situation in Afganistan when Soviet troops supported the existing regime and the West supported and armed the other side, without taking a good look an who they were helping. I hope I don't have to remind you how that ended, or rather still hasn't ended. We're all still dealing with the consequences of those bad choices," he adds

Downtown LR Metroplan releases video on light rail study

Posted by David Koon on Fri, Mar 1, 2013 at 7:21 AM

Metroplan has released a new video detailing their vision for a light-rail line between West Little Rock and the airport, following the path of I-630. The video details the results of Metroplan's I-630 Fixed Guideway Alignment Study, a preliminary project to determine both a route for the trains and where to place 14 stations to best serve commuters. As planned, the cars would pass briefly underground at several spots.

Watching the video, I couldn't help but think of this entertaining musical number from The Simpsons. Let's hope the Little Rock plan is a little more solid than Springfield's. Have you driven I-630 during rush hour lately?
