5 ways to stop being late

The reason I know so much about being late is because recently, I have been late a lot. So I have been telling myself that each time I am late I have to honestly think about what sort of behavior is causing me to be late, and write it down.

1. Schedule the event into your calendar.

If you block out time to be somewhere then you won’t be doing something else when it’s time to go. I amazed myself when I tried to do this. I discovered I had enough on my schedule to last 48 hours a day. It would have been impossible for me to be on time for anything.

2. Practice saying what you need to say.

Here’s a great thing to say: “Excuse me, I hate to cut you off, but I have an appointment.” It is hard to cut someone off, but they will respect you for sticking to a schedule. The higher up you go in corporate life, the stricter the people stick to a schedule. The good news is that this means it’s perfectly acceptable in work life to say this short speech. Get comfortable doing it at work and then you can do it at home, too.

3. Be a time pessimist.

Assume everything will take a little longer than your first estimate. This will either make you right on time for everything, or it’ll make you a little early. People who run early are calm, organized, and always ready. Not a bad place to be.

4. Prioritize.

Some late because they just do not have all the time. The only way to end this is not a plan so much Affairs. Understand that you are not physically able to do so many cases. Define that for you is more important, and do it. Tell people whom do you plan to (your boss, for instance) that you can do what you enough time, and cases located at the bottom of your list of priority cases are made: reality intervenes in your life.

5. Be honest with yourself.

Why do you let yourself be late? It is disrespectful and makes you look unorganized and out of control. Why are you not getting control over your time? Know a lot of the time is really the way to self-knowledge. Sometimes, we are simply afraid to take decisions which we must accept and try to do everything on schedule. But you can't plan your life. Making all on the schedule is a plan life you want to live, and to implement approved plan.

Water was detected at a distant planet

It was first detected water in the atmosphere planet outside the solar system. The planet, known as HD 209458b, is a gas giant like our Jupiter and is located 150 light years from Earth in the constellation Pegasus.

Other scientists said in February that they could find no evidence of water in the atmosphere of this planet, as well as on other planets such as Jupiter. Details of the study published in the Journal of astrophysics.

It was expected that the water vapor is found in the atmospheres of planets vnesolnechnyh majority, even those that orbit closest to their parent stars than Mercury orbit our sun.

For most planets outside solar system and their location close to the parent stars made the search for water and other constituents are very complex.

During the study, scientists took advantage of the fact that HD209458b when viewed from the Earth passes directly in front of its star every three and a half days. When that happens, the atmosphere of the planet blocks a different amount of stellar light at different wavelengths light waves. In particular, the presence of water in the giant planet's atmosphere makes it more special part of the infrared spectrum, as compared with lengths of waves visible spectrum.

Astronomer Travis Barman (Travis Barman) from Louella Observatory in Flagstaff, USA, found what he calls a clear indication vodopogloscheniya in an atmosphere of this planet. The findings were made using analysis of data obtained from the Hubble Space Telescope.

Barman said that his opening to believe that other planets outside our solar system have water evaporation in their atmospheres, even though it has not been proved by other scientists.

Implant retinal learns to improve image

Software that can be taught to upgrade the quality of information sent from bionicheskogo eyes to the man being tested in Germany.

Implants retina may partially restore eyesight to some totally or partially blind people. They assume the work of transforming the light signals transmitted to the brain. So far, 10 people in Germany and 15 in the United States were vzhivleny such implants.

"These people can see the light or dark, and perhaps some vague form," said Rolf Ekmiller (Rolf Eckmiller), a scholar of computer science at the University of Bonn in Germany. "But they have no perception of a holistic way."

Ekmiller said that you can solve the problem by comparing the signals that create implants and signals that a healthy eye sends to the brain. One scientific team in California, USA, is trying to improve the software by constructing a copy of retinal neurons in silicon. Ekmiller with his colleagues Barusom Oliver (Oliver Baruth) and Rolf Shattenom (Rolf Schatten) plan instead to use learning software.

Ekmiller with his colleagues Barusom Oliver (Oliver Baruth) and Rolf Shattenom (Rolf Schatten) plan instead to use learning software. In their system, the camera transmits the information to "setchatochny coder" - software that simulates the processing of images performed healthy retina. "He had hundreds of different parameters that must be configured correctly," said Ekmiller. "But only one plant will correct the perception."

The team from Bonn University develops software which learns configured by the user. Tests, during which there were 50 computers of people who have been promising, said Ekmiller. Now scientists want to test the system on humans with these implants.

Nervous work leads to insomnia

Mad pace of modern life affects on human health. Dealing with him is futile, therefore, British researchers are aiming to at least learn about the unconquerable enemy in every way possible.

West nevropatologam had to examine the questionnaires 1700 people to find a relationship between stress and human sleep.

The material had been used the results of a survey conducted by a major British insurance company among its customers. Statistics proved disappointing : more than half of respondents suffer violations of sleep because of unconscious anxiety about their own safety.

The terrorist threat, health problems, the thought vorovskih crimes against property-all these problems erode the human psyche, turning sleep.

The list could easily go on, it is endless and individual differences. Many, like British experts found, prayer has become painfully obvious global climate change; Some may not invite night grezam, terzayas disadvantage in the real estate market with its ever-rising prices.

Stressful insomnia was the brainchild of our time, because even five years ago, people were much easier to dive into the embrace Morfey.

In the UK, only 3% of the population miraculously managed to preserve their sleep completely free from the effects of everyday stress. And eventually receive nightly norm prescribed portion of recreation (8:00). We think the proportion in the rest of the world a little different from the information already given.

Victims bessonitsy remains one consolation : the age of all of the above concerns, fewer and fewer. The poll showed that people over 54 are much calmer hardships earthly existence. Total 9% of them confessed that bad sleep at night, think about everyday bustle, and the rest have already gained earlier nedostizhimoe sense of balance. For comparison : in the age group between 18 and 34 years suffer from insomnia due to stress about 15% of the respondents.

Doctor of Psychology David Lewis argues that prevents full sleep, in the first place, a sense of total helplessness rights at the cruelty of the world today. The most serious concern are the circumstances in which people can not in any way affect so scarred a full impotence.

Later insomnia threatens to turn us into a mass nervous breakdown, covering peculiar world epidemic, with the result that over the past five years, the situation has deteriorated.
