RELATED STORIES

This Tuesday night, as the results of the New Hampshire primary for this year’s presidential election trickle in, The Conners will react to the news in real-time, in live episodes taped and broadcast for each coast.

In “Live from Lanford” (airing Tuesday at 8/7c on ABC), Mark for a school report will be watching the results of the New Hampshire primary with Harris, who is apathetic to the electoral process and believes money’s influence in politics means real change is impossible. The rest of the Conners will in turn share their differing takes on why they think everyone should vote, offering the working-class perspective that you may have to vote for a candidate you don’t love but one that will “screw you the least.”

(All of this happens against the backdrop of romance when Louise, played by guest star Katey Sagal, gets an opportunity that might send her away from Lanford, prompting the family to interfere in Dan’s complicated relationship with her by throwing his lady friend a surprise going-away party.)

The idea for not just a live episode but one that reacted, in real time, to ABC News coverage on the Conners’ TV screen, came from series creator Bruce Helford. “So whatever happens, you can blame me!” he told TVLine with a laugh last month at the TCA press tour.

Explaining the decision to add a breaking news twist to the live twist, he said, “I always felt like if you just do a show live, so what? Everybody’s waiting for someone to make a mistake, that’s all it is. We did live on The Drew Carey Show (which Helford also created), but we added an improv element so that things were happening that could go any way and be interesting. And with The Conners, no matter what we do, we’re a little bit supercharged when it comes to politics. Also, they’re working class families and they’re most affected by what’s going on in this country. They’re really getting hit.”

So, as characters stream in and out of the living room where Mark and Harris are watching the primary returns get reported, “They’re going to comment on it, and we’ll see what happens.”

In fact, they will see what happens two times, since the live episode will tape a second time for the West Coast, and thus find the characters responding to different news coverage than they did the first go-round.

“The first time we do it [for the East Coast], it will be early returns. And then later on, it will be more about the results,” Helford noted. “It’s nice, because it gives us a chance to say something meaningful about the process, and say it in a unique, Conners way.”

The Grim Reaper certainly worked overtime during the month of May.

Throughout this year’s May Sweeps period (which concluded on Wednesday), more than 30 small-screen characters met their demise — some of them rather grisly, in fact. (The bright side? This year’s tally of 33 deaths is considerably lower than the 44 that last year’s Sweeps delivered.)

In the attached gallery, we’re reflecting on the men and women — and, in some cases, demons! — who perished in the last month. And it should go without saying that our photo recap contains major spoilers, so steer clear unless you’re caught up on your favorite shows.

The CW’s Charmed reboot led the death count, with a whopping eight characters headed to the TV afterlife. Meanwhile, The 100 and Whiskey Cavalier claimed second place with three deaths a piece. (Check out our May Sweeps Scorecard to see all of the month’s other developments, including hookups, breakups, character exits and more.)

We’ve also made room in our photo gallery for a few not-quite-official deaths, like The Flash‘s Nora, who “died” by getting erased from the present timeline. Heartbreaking and timey-wimey? It counts!

The S&P, Dow Jones and Nasdaq plunged between 3 and 4 percent. Technology shares were among the worst affected.

The S&P 500 fell almost 92 points, or just over 3 percent, the biggest daily loss since February this year. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq Composite dropped 315.97 points, or 4.08 percent, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 831 points, or 3.15 percent.

Rising interest rates by the Federal Reserve drove US Treasury yields to 7-year highs, while Hurricane Michael’s landfall in Florida stoked fears of impact on energy companies, according to market analysts. Technology stocks dropped 3 percent, with Netflix, Amazon and Google parent Alphabet leading the way. The energy sector was close behind with a 2.9 percent loss, as oil extraction in the Gulf of Mexico shutting down due to the hurricane.

The latest sell-off comes after months of continuous stock market growth stoked by the investors’ belief in “American exceptionalism,” according to an analyst from investment bank Morgan Stanley.

Skeptics like former Congressman Ron Paul, however, warned that the US is approaching “the biggest bubble in the history of mankind.”

“It can be pretty well validated by looking at monetary history that when you inflate the currency, distort interest rates, and live beyond your means and spend too much, there has to be an adjustment,” Paul told RT on Tuesday, predicting that a stock market crash is just a matter of time.

  • We spend a lot of time at work, so it’s likely we might develop feelings for a colleague.
  • But there are a few complications that come with a workplace relationship.
  • It may affect your relationship with other colleagues, and there are power dynamics to be aware of.
  • Workplace relationships can be a success though, if you’ve thought it through properly.

Spending a lot of time with your colleagues means you form some great friendships, but it also means the lines can blur a little. You might find the people you considered friends are suddenly becoming attractive.

This could be a genuine romantic connection blossoming, or it could be something called “vicinity attraction,” where you start to have feelings for someone simply because you’ve spent a lot of time together. That’s not to say it’s a less viable way of starting a relationship, but you might want to take a step back and see if the relationship also works outside the office before you commit to anything.

  • These charts show exactly which countries make a lot of steel, and which do not. 
  • China produced 10 times more steel than the US in 2017.

Steel tariffs are now in place, and the world is grumbling and threatening retaliation against the US. Its closest partners, such as Canada, are trying to figure out how to navigate the waters. Part of Corporate America is lobbying against it and wagging its checkbook. The other part of Corporate America — the part that has been lobbying for it — is now grinning from ear-to-ear. And the media is steeped in this melee. But just who is producing all this steel, and who is dominating this trade?

In April, China’s crude steel production rose 4.8% from a year ago to 76.7 million tonnes (Mt), the highest on record, according to the World Steel Association. This was nearly 11 times as large as the 6.9 Mt of crude steel that the US produced.

  • One of the hardest aspects of making a to-do list is estimating how long activities take.
  • Create a timeline with time budgets for each task to stay on track.
  • Revise that timeline constantly if you find you’re behind or ahead of schedule.
  • Account for factors such as rest, sleep, and distractions.

 

A few weeks ago, I wrote about how not to make a to-do list. I’d found a hypothetical to-do list printed on the cover of a journal with such entries as run a marathon, run for office, etc. While the list was meant to be humorous, I noted that many people make similarly grandiose to-do lists. Then they lament that to-do lists don’t work. That doesn’t strike me as the obvious conclusion. They do work, but you have to be reasonable about what can fit in the unit of time in which you would like to accomplish the items on your list.

Anyway, in the comments, people mentioned that one of the hardest aspects of making a to-do list is estimating how long activities take. I agree that this is hard. Indeed, the ability to estimate how long things take is what separates time masters from other people. However, I also think, as with most skills, that almost anyone can reach competence with practice. Here’s how to estimate like a pro:

Track your time 

This may seem obvious, but one way to figure out how long things take is to actually record how long they take. This is not a perfect solution — as it’s new or variable tasks that usually flummox people — but it is a reasonable one. It particularly helps for people who suffer from the problem of wild optimism. These people think it takes 30 minutes to get to work, because it did — once — but now that one random time becomes the baseline for a trip that normally takes closer to 45 minutes. Which explains why they’re always 15 minutes late to their first meeting. It becomes harder to think of a trip as taking 30 minutes when there — in black and white — it keeps taking 45 minutes, five work days in a row.

(I have the opposite problem of profound pessimism. But that is a different matter.)

Break it down

Big, nebulous tasks can be hard to estimate. Do your taxes? Hmmm. But going through 12 months of your business credit card statements and entering those numbers in your spreadsheet might, reasonably, take 10 minutes per month. At 12 months, that’s 120 minutes, or two hours. So you can build that component into your estimate. When I propose my books, I have almost always come up with chapter abstracts. So I know how many chapters there will be. I can figure out how much time to devote to each chapter (often, a 6,000-word chapter a week, 1500 words per day, plus an edit day). So a 10-chapter book would take 10 weeks to produce a draft.

Do check-ins to tune up your estimates 

If, for instance, you thought you could write a chapter a week, but on Friday of week one you are no where near the end of the first chapter, your estimate is off. Time to revise with the more realistic time line in mind. Fun fact: while most things take longer than expected, this isn’t always true. Sometimes your time line can revise to be quicker. While reading “War & Peace,” for instance, I thought I would read through 4% per day on my Kindle (approximately 1 hour), thus completing the book in 25 days. I quickly saw that I was hitting 7% per day without much trouble. So I was OK with estimating I’d be done in 2 weeks instead of 3.5.

Ask other people

 Speaking of estimates…That War and Peace estimate is courtesy the Kindle app, which analyzes how long various readers take to read a given book. I could have estimated that I read about 50 pages an hour, and “War and Peace” was about 1450 pages, giving me 29 hours, but Kindle understands that Tolstoy’s chapters are short. There’s white space in those page counts. Crowdsourcing answers is a great way to figure out how long something you’ve never done before will take. In the old days, if you were landing at the San Francisco airport, and then you were driving to Oakland, you would have asked someone you know in the area “hey, how long does it take to get from SFO to Oakland?” Now, of course, you can crowdsource via various apps that have analyzed thousands of drives. But it’s really the same thing. Ask other people how long they think this thing you’ve never done before will take. Come up with a rough average of their answers, or at least get a probable range.

Account for your energy

The hard truth is that tasks take longer when you have limited energy to do them. You’ll get distracted, and a report that might have taken an hour to write at 8 a.m. takes 2 hours at 2 p.m. as you keep clicking over to your inbox (or even less work-related things). If you’ve got to schedule it in at 2 p.m., fine, but be honest with yourself. It might help to think in terms of probabilities: Memos like this take me 45 minutes to an hour, most of the time. If you’ve blocked it for a low-energy time, build in an hour. If you’re hopped up on your 8 a.m. coffee? 45 minutes. 40 if it was a double shot of espresso.

Build in space

 Given that optimism is the more common curse with time estimation, most people would do best to engage in “harm reduction”: that is, underestimate how much you can get done in any given day (or even week). If you’re wrong and you do more, or you finish early — awesome! You’ve got extra free time. Not a problem. If you overestimate, you’re behind. And that is generally a much bigger problem.

As a practical rule-of-thumb for building in space, I would recommend not booking more than 75% of your day ahead of time.* So let’s say you would like to be at the office for 9 hours (8 hours of work, and 1 hour of lunch/coffee/internet/bathroom breaks). If you have 3 hours of meetings, you can assign yourself additional tasks that total 3 hours. No more. That gives you 6 hours of planned activities during 8 hours allocated to work.

The reason for this is that many things take longer than planned. One of those 1-hour meetings becomes a 90-minute gab fest. Or stuff comes up. Occasionally good stuff! If you’ve assigned yourself 5 hours of activities + your 3 hours of meetings, and a former client calls to talk about work you might do together, what are you going to do? I’m guessing you’re going to take that call. And so something will get moved. It might be personal time (you stay late). It might be a less-important meeting that gets rescheduled (Ok, but can create schedule chaos for others). It most likely will be one of your other assigned activities — but what if those were really important? Like coming up with a proposal for another client who called you earlier? This is how people start to feel frenzied and behind. With better time estimating skills, this feeling becomes less likely.

*I know this is not practical in all fields. A medical office might aim to book the entire day. Of course, this is why appointments often start late. Building in a bit of space can get the schedule back on time.

Hardest countries to visit : Where is it hardest to travel to in the world?

The hardest countries to visit around the world have been revealed, in regards to visa entries and strict laws.

Despite travel never being more accessible for Britons, many countries still restrict foreigners from entering as they rule under state laws.

Eritrea

The hardest country in the world to enter is Eritrea, a Northeast African country.

It remains one of the most secretive states in the world due to high restrictions on entry, after winning independence from Ethiopia in 1993.

Nationals from all counties must have a visa, and they aren’t always easy to get.

Some applicants can have their visa request cancelled multiple times for no reason, with only citizens from Kenya and Uganda excluded from visas.

North Korea

Perhaps unsurprisingly, North Korea makes the list for one of the hardest countries to enter.

The totalitarian state is under communist rule, prohibiting social media and news sites from the outside world. The territory has also been accused of human rights abuses by those who flee the country.

Travellers are unable to tour without a guide when in the country, due to the restrictions on what visitors are allowed to see.

Tensions are high between Trump and Kim Jong-un, in light of recent missile testings.

Turkmenistan

The country, bordered by Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Afghanistan, has remained stable after independence from the Soviet Union in 1991.

The country is still in a state of impoverishment, with social media such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube blocked.

A letter of invitation must be given to anyone heading to the area, and paying for a local tour company can help travellers to be accepted into the country.

Otherwise, for those staying on the mainland, a five-day transit visa can be acquired.

The World’s Most Corrupt Countries

Wed, January 25, 2017

The lowest ranked nations were, according to the group Transparency International, all plagued by ‘conflict and war, poor governance, weak public institutions like police and the judiciary and a lack of independence in the media.’

Iran

Iran remains a spot that British travellers may choose avoid due to its strict laws, despite many beautiful spots and Persian culture.

Visa processes can be a long, with tourist visas on arrival often denied.

Travellers from America, Canada, and Britain may face restrictions, whilst Israeli citizens and anyone with a passport connection to Israel are denied entry.

Saudia Arabia

Many tourists flock to Saudia Arabia to visit the birthplace of Islam despite the strict Islamic law in the country.

Tourist visas were suspended in 2010, meaning that advance visas must be a business or student visa.

Those entering for less than 18 hours do not need to get one, and women must be met by a sponsor on arrival.

Bhutan

The Buddhist kingdom has laws that ensure 60 per cent of the land must remain forested, making it the only carbon-negative place in the world – meaning it absorbs more greenhouse gases than it emits.

Travellers who want to see it face a steep $ 250 fee a day to visit, which includes accommodation, transportation, food and a guide.

A visa must also always be issued before travelling, as well as trips through Bhutanese travel operators.

Only travellers from India, Bangladesh and the Maldives are excluded from the visa application process.

Angola

The country in Southern Africa has Portuguese influences, which attract visitors to the region, despite the 27-year civil war that plagued the country after its independence.

The strict visa regulations of the country mean it is hard for travellers to enter.

Excluding citizens of Namibia, all foreign nationals must get a visa before travelling into the country. This even includes an international vaccination certificate.

Hardest countries to visit: Kiribati only has one embassy in Europe, in Wales

Kiribati

Found in the Central Pacific, the tiny island is a difficult one to travel to geographically. 

Luckily, travellers from the EU are included in the 68 countries that aren’t required to get a visa upon entering.

What makes a visa difficult for those who require one is finding one of the foreign embassies in the world.

The only Kiribati embassy in Europe is found in Llanddewi Rhydderch, a village in Wales.
