Reducing Bathroom Books And Other Clutter In Your Home

By Serena Price


Every now and then we all come to a point where we feel overwhelmed by the clutter in our living spaces. Unless you keep constantly on top of clearing things out, eventually something will pile up. It may be bathroom books, tacky picture frames, an old Beanie Baby collection; we all have something we could stand to get rid of. Since no one wants to become a hoarder, here are a few tips for clearing out the unwanted clutter in your home.

1. Throw stuff away! This may be difficult if you are sentimentally attached to your stuff, but it is the quickest and most definitive way to get rid of things. Be honest with yourself about your possessions. Chances are, some of your things are broken beyond repair, or so old that no one will ever use them again. Identify these things, and thrown them away. You will be glad you did.

2. Put things in storage. If you cannot bear to put something in the trash, you still may be able to remove it from the immediate area. Look at the things in your living room, kitchen, or bathroom, and determine whether you have used them in the past three months. Take anything you have not used, and either throw it out or store it somewhere out of the way.

3. Have a yard sale. Or a garage sale, or a stoop sale... Whatever your regional terminology dictates. You may feel better about getting rid of your stuff if you can earn a little bit of money in the process. Also, this will feel less wasteful. Perhaps someone else can get some use from the things you no longer need. Having a sale could be fun and profitable.

4. Donate. If you do not feel comfortable selling your things, or do not have the time or energy to organize a sale, consider donating things to a thrift store or a charity. This is most often done with clothing (which should always be washed before being donated, by the way). However, clothing is not the only thing you can donate. Consider giving toys, dishes, blankets, or any other useful item that you no longer want or need.

5. Give to a friend or relative. If you have a child and do not plan to have any more, chances are you have a lot of things you will no longer need. You may have cribs, bassinets, baby clothes, toddler clothes, and any number of other things you will never use again. Ask around to friends and relatives who are considering having children or who already have them.

6. Organize. Even if you cannot find a significant amount of things you are willing to store, throw away, sell, or donate, you can still reduce clutter. Invest in some shelves and plastic storage containers, and organize things rather than leaving them lying around.

You will be very happy if you find some time to dedicate to reducing clutter in your living space. Clearing away the ceramic figurines, bathroom books, and other items that are taking unnecessary space. Think about using the tips provided above to help you do so.

The Gist Of The Pan Am Flight 103 Air Crash Investigation

By Jayne Rutledge


The Pan Am Flight 103 air crash investigation began on December 21, 1988, shortly after seven o'clock in the evening in the small village of Lockerbie in the county of Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. The village is accessible by highway A74(M). There is a golf course nearby, a train station and King Edward Park.

Life in Lockerbie was permanently changed. The aircraft was on its way to New York City, having originated in Frankfurt, Germany, and stopping briefly in London. The plane blew up over the town, resulting in the loss of 270 lives, including 11 local residents. Debris was discovered over a six-mile stretch of the area.

A few days before the crash, on December 18, the American embassies in Russia and Finland had issued warnings that a terrorist attack was planned on a Pan American airliner traveling from Frankfurt to the United States. Although the airline and the relevant police departments had been notified of the warning, it was not broadly broadcast to prospective passengers. Among the people who were supposed to be on the flight but changed their minds or were prevented at the last minute were South African foreign minister Pik Botha, Indian mechanic Jaswant Basuta (initially considered a suspect) and popular US singing group, the Four Tops.

Records showed that an unaccompanied piece of luggage had been routed from Malta to Frankfurt, where it was loaded onto the feeder flight to London, Pan Am 103A. Police later discovered that the only person ever convicted of the bombing, Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi, had also boarded that same flight. This was believed to be the suitcase that contained the bomb. Security was later tightened at small airports all around the world.

Meticulous searches of the local area as part of the investigation led to the collection of 56 fragments of a suitcase that revealed severe damage from a bomb. The suitcase was believed to have contained a circuit board from the bomb, wrapped in a children's t-shirt from Malta. The shopkeeper in Malta originally identified the man who purchased the item to be Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi, although he later retracted his claim.

The trial, which began in 2000 and concluded in 2001, was held in the neutral state of the Netherlands. Because the incident had occurred in the skies over Lockerbie, al-Megrahi was tried under Scottish Law. The trial lasted for nine months.

After a trial that lasted nine months, al-Megrahi was convicted and sentenced to life in prison, with a minimum of 27 years. In 2008, it was announced that he was suffering from terminal cancer of the prostate. In an extremely controversial decision, Scottish Justice Secretary, Kenny MacAskill, allowed him out of prison on compassionate grounds and he was flown home to Libya. There was a massive public outcry on both sides of the Atlantic. To many observers, the Libyan people rubbed salt into the wounds by giving al-Megrahi a hero's welcome.

The Scottish arm of the Pan Am Flight 103 air crash investigation was led by John Orr and Watson McAteer, Chief Inspector of the local police force. The American team was comprised of two CIA personnel, Jim Shaughnessy and Vinnie Cannistraro. Rounding out the American team were Robert Muller and Larry Whittaker. Together, the investigation took place in 13 countries and accumulated 15,000 statements, 35,000 photos and 12,700 name cards.

Ian Fleming - Cold War Author

By Serena Price


After the end of World War II, in 1945, relations between the United States and the Soviet Union were frost and tense. Up until the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, these years are collectively referred to as the cold war. Ian Fleming, author of the 007 series of spy novels, was probably the most famous cold war author.

The Fleming family were originally from Scotland, first in Perth and then Dundee. Robert Fleming, Ian's grandfather, made a fortune in investment trusts before moving the family to London's Grosvenor Square, where they lived in a house on the site of what is occupied today as the American Embassy. Once settled in London, Robert started his own investment bank.

Valentine Fleming, Ian's father, was killed during the First World War, where he served as one of the Queen's Own (Oxfordshire) Hussars. The man who would one day be Prime Minister of Great Britain, Winston Churchill, who was Fleming's friend and fellow officer, penned Valentine's death notice in the paper. Prior to being killed, Valentine, a Parliament member and Barrister-at-law, married Evelyn Rose. Together they had four children, all boys.

Ian Fleming was the second of four children born to Valentine and Eve Fleming. He was born in a house in London's prestigious Mayfair in 1908, on the 28th of May. He attended Eton College and pursued further studies in western Europe. His elder brother, Peter, was born the year before him in 1907. Peter married actress Celia Johnson, who appeared in "Brief Encounter, " a film by David Lean. Richard Fleming lived from 1911 to 1977, when he perished of a cardiac ailment. The youngest Fleming boy, Michael, was born in 1913. He married and fathered four children before being killed at Normandy in the year 1940.

Ian Fleming had an early career in journalism at the Reuters news agency. During this time, he was in Oxford and was fined three guineas, or GBP 3.15 for a traffic offense. . His lawyer had to explain that he was unable to appear in court because he was attending the World Economic Conference. His years at Reuters were the most thrilling period of his life.

During his one month's unsalaried trial at Reuters, Fleming was tasked with updating 500 obituaries. This impressed his then-boss, Editor-in-Chief Bernard Rickatson-Hatt, who described him as meticulous, methodical and painstaking. It was here at Reuters that he learned how to be fast and accurate. At Reuters, if you weren't accurate, you weren't employed.

Fleming later served under the Director of Naval Intelligence in London. It was the experience gained in this role that provided the material for so many of 007's adventures. Fleming borrowed the name, James Bond, from the man who wrote his favorite book on the subject of West Indian birds. Fleming lived in Jamaica for a period of almost 20 years, from 1946 to 1964.

Ian Fleming, cold war author, was also known for writing a children's story, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, which was eventually made into a Walt Disney movie. He wrote the book for his son, Caspar. It was Caspar's 12th birthday, August 12, 1964, when Fleming died of cardiac arrest. Caspar never really recovered from losing his father and committed suicide in 1975.

Things That Are Completely Beyond Terror

By Jayne Rutledge


Everyone knows that some situations in life are beyond terror. Sometimes an individual will find themselves in a very scary situation that cannot easily be resolved. Law enforcement officials have stated that there have been many cases that have dealt with this exact subject. Many of these cases were never solved and sometimes the victims met a very horrible demise.

In the past many women often found themselves living alone after divorcing their spouses. A woman living in New Jersey was in a similar situation and would spend her afternoons sitting on the interstate. Drivers would angrily shout at her as they tried to avoid a collision. She did not care what any of these people thought about her since her mind was still living in a very obscure past.

In the past this particular young woman was a successful married school teacher who had two children of her own. All was going well for her and her family until she got bored with her current job. After she quit her position at the school she begin to have affairs with different men.

These men would tell their friends and everyone else about her immoral ways. After some time she would find herself entertaining other men during all hours of the day. She started to neglect her husband and children since the men brought her so much erotic enjoyment.

Her husband found out about these affairs and he filed divorce papers at the local courthouse. The unlucky lady also lost custody of her children when everything was over. She loved her children dearly but knew that her former husband would be the best parent for them. This also gave her more time to spend with all of the men who wanted her body.

This young woman was able to have sex with many men during the day and night since all of her motherly duties were now over. Each day would bring her several new men of different shapes and sizes. She really enjoyed the men who were old enough to be her father. Some of them were also very young but they knew how to please her.

It seemed as if no one on Earth could stop this woman from seducing every male that crossed her path. People in her neighborhood would often ask her about her children and former husband. This woman had no words at all to say about them since they could not provide her with the pleasures that she desperately needed.

Things really went beyond terror when this woman found herself in a horrible situation one dark night. After saying goodnight to another married man she cooked her dinner and decided to go to bed. The house was very large and quiet since she was the only person living there. Once she finished her meal she took a shower and climbed into bed. Sometime during the night three of her former lovers entered her home and forced themselves upon her. She never reported this crime which caused her a mental breakdown. Nowadays this lovely lady annoys drivers on the busy highway.

Stretching Your Writing: Stretch Your Body

By Buffy Greentree


Exercise

If you want your mind to work, to be fully creative and concentrated, then you really need to exercise. What? Exercise? There is a reason you choose to sit behind a computer all day. Ah yes, but sadly the brain does not work so well without exercise. It doesn't have to be the hard, sweaty kind; walking is great. 'Why? WHY?' You cry to the heavens. Well, let me tell you why.

First: It stills the body's normal shouting and allows you to focus on the world inside your mind. Think of your body like a faithful dog. If you want to get anything done, you should take it for a walk and then give it a bone before sitting down, or else it will keep on nagging you. You might not think that your body is nagging you for a walk, but those little aches and pains may be reduced by getting some blood flowing through the muscles, or if necessary an over-the-counter painkiller. If you have done some light exercise before sitting down, and blood is happily flowing to all your muscles, they feel stretched and nicely warm, and this will help you slip into the flow much more easily.

Second: Exercise gives your mind time to process. Watching your thoughts at every moment is counterproductive. Go for a walk and let your conscious and subconscious conspire, then half way through the walk, or when you return, you will might find you hear a little Click! and everything works that much better.

Third: Your brain benefits from physical exercise. Increasing evidence indicates that exercise develops brain plasticity (how flexible you are in your thinking, and how well your brain can build its habits), and makes your thinking processes both faster and more clear. Get some blood pumping around that brain and increase your concentration.

Fourth: If you want to be writing as a lifestyle, then sitting down for the majority of your life needs some sort of compensation by making the most of the time you aren't sitting down.

Fifth: There are some things you need that you can't get inside. Sunlight on your retinas helps keep your circadian rhythm up to date, and so also helps you stay awake when you should. Sunlight also reduces depression, and refreshes the senses, and activates your vitamin D. You could just go outside and just lie in the grass for all this to happen, but why not do a bit of walking first? Or roll around while you are down there?

As stated before, it really doesn't have to be hard. Walking is good. I like to break a light sweat, but not go into anaerobic exercise. You should still be able to hold a conversation, with just slight puffs. This means your blood is pumping at an optimal level and your body hasn't started creating excess waste product such as lactic acid, which can add extra stress to your body to get rid of. Remember, we are all about stress minimisation. Though one or two hard sessions a week is fine if you are so inclined.

Stretching

If sitting all day, you really should spend some time stretching, because sitting is not a natural position to be in constantly. Years of constantly sitting makes your hip flexors shorten, which can result in lower back problems. Similarly, your glutes like to be gently stretched and used. Your neck and shoulders get tight from the tension you are placing in them, and your wrists and forearms are in danger from the strange repetitive motions you are making them do.

So when you suddenly feel as though inspiration has done a bunk, shrug your shoulders and stretch for five minutes. (Please note that because this is a short article, I've only gone into some stretches here. If you want a fully detailed account, please go to my book 'The Five Day Writer's Retreat' on Amazon).

Warm up: As you haven't been moving, the muscles won't be particularly warm, so it's not a great time to just demand they stretch out, and can in fact do damage. For each muscle group take a moment to warm them up. I recommend starting at the top of your head and work down. It's a nice organised method.

Neck and shoulders: Start by turning your head to either side a few times and then gently lowering your ear towards your shoulder and then the other ear to warm up. Finish this with shoulder rolls, lifting your shoulders up and around. After ten circles reverse and go back the other way. This should get the muscles nice and pliable. Then, keeping your shoulders square, gently lower your ear towards your shoulder and hold it there for 12 seconds. Come up to straight and drop your other ear to your other shoulder and hold for 12 seconds. You should feel the stretch on the opposite side. If you need a little bit extra, you can place the hand on the same side on your head and gently put weight on it to stretch further. Finally, with your head straight forward, drop your chin to your chest to stretch out the back of your neck and hold, then drop the back of your head down so you can stretch out the front of your neck and hold.

Hip flexor: stand with your feet together and then take one large step forward with your left leg. Keep your right leg as straight as you can, and bend your left leg forward until the knee is just over the toes. Try and push down into the stretch, which you should feel down the front of your right hip. Hold for 12 seconds, and then step back and repeat on the other side.

Glutes and hip flexors: this is best performed on a mat as you need to be on the ground. Kneel on all fours with your hands under your shoulders and your knees under your hips. Bring your right knee up to your right hand, and your right foot across to your left hand. Slowly slide your left leg straight out behind you. You should feel the stretch in your right glute (aka your butt), and if you keep your chest up straight, also in your left hip flexor. This is similar to the yoga pose the 'half pigeon'. Hold this for about 20 seconds, then swap over.

If you do that every few hours, your body will thank you every day, and your spritely older self will thank you too!

Dependable, Crucial And Unwavering Corporate Writing

By Serena Price


Consideration of several factors may assist you now, as you continue to build on and apply the skills to your corporate writing. Many writers have argued that in recent years, in further and higher professional writing, there has been an emphasis on the development of particular skills, focusing on the development of competence excellence.

Some research from one source may contradict with those of another. There is such a vast amount of information out there that, without these skills, it is hard to know what to include in your academic assignments or how to incorporate new information into to the practice. It is easy to feel overwhelmed and you may discover that you make decisions in the particular professional practice or write such assignments based on inappropriate evidence.

Some journalists may have stricter editorial quality control than others and so may offer a higher standard of information but this still needs to be checked out. The internet contains many hundreds of millions of pages of information, including everything from rigorous research to trivia and misinformation.

Furthermore, your ability to be critical will be assessed and this is a substantial component in almost all marking criteria for those studying for a professional eligibility in health and social care. In fact, being critical is probably the key element of all higher education courses. It is important to note that this is crucial in relation to both your academic studies and your professional practice.

Sometimes you can access academic journal articles on the internet from a simple search using a search engine such as Google or Yahoo. Discussion between professionals about information or research that has been critically appraised is likely to be helpful. However, it is not always the case that information will be critically appraised by practitioners.

For example, if you are making a claim about how to manage a particular condition or situation effectively, citing facts will give you a much stronger case than if you cite some opinion. You then need to let your reader know that the suggestions you have cited are examined rather than basic opinion.

So, beware of accepting information at face value from your colleagues. If you only refer to lecture notes in your assignment or use them as evidence for your practice it implies that you have not been evaluating decisively or in depth about the subject. However, even then your argument will be stronger when you develop related evidence to back up what you write. Textbooks, especially at corporate level, generally provide a springboard for further study. Some textbooks provide a basic overview of current knowledge on a particular area, especially if you are starting out in a topic. They may provide sound factual information on topics such as anatomy and physiology.

In principle, you should avoid direct reference to articles in your written work or discussions at work unless you use them as a springboard for further inquiry or you are discussing their view or perspective on a topic. There may be many factors that have impacted on the development of your skills of corporate writing including your upbringing and both the content and design of any education or training that you have attended.
