This essay is an experiment that attends to the habit of tea as both subject and object. A coalescence of habit as threshold as home. In an assemblage of encounters, I hear, I sense, I smell, I taste, and I show how my habit (of tea) is a trestle—both a transport and a transaction in which I arrive and depart multiple times, every day. Consider these words a kind of searching (and finding), a cartographic tracing, a constellation—of habit, of home, of threshold—a plotting to find and arrive home.HAZARDOUS potholes which dot the A27 putting drivers at risk will be tackled, Britain's roads minister has vowed.
Jesse Norman has pledged to fix the atrocious state of the A27, which is dotted by more than a dozen potholes on its westbound carriageway.
The Tory MP’s comments come as fresh figures reveal the scale of the pothole problem across Portsmouth and Hampshire.

Portsmouth has seen the overall number of roads needing maintenance increasingly slightly on major A routes.
Figures, released by the BBC, show that in the past couple of years, the percentage of the city’s A roads needing maintenance has increased by three per cent.
In 2012/13, two per cent of the city’s key roads needed repair work. However, this rose to five per cent in 2016/17 – a total of 2.2km (1.3 miles). While four per cent of minor roads needed to be patched, up from three per cent.
Meanwhile in Hampshire, the number of roads needing to be repaired has fallen.
Hampshire County Council, which is responsible for about 4,900 miles of highway across the county, needs to fix three per cent of routes.

“One of the secrets of getting more done is to make a to-do list every day, keep it visible, and use it as a guide to action as you go through the day.” – Jean de La Fontaine[/ez_box]
Regardless of whatever system you use such as Outlook, Google Calendar, iCal, they all create a dumping ground for your tasks. You often dump in hundreds of tasks into the to-do list without much thought. This process is not true planning because it causes the user to pile or dump in a ton of stuff and then later be hit with how to filter or sort through the mammoth size of tasks.
Extreme Overwhelm is what you’re left with. Extreme overwhelm is the killer of activity and action. Without the right activity and action, your dreams will never become real.
3 Critical To-do List Categories:
1. The Primary To-do List
2. The Weekly To-do List
3. The Daily To-do List
The Primary to-do list is the dumping ground for every single thing you can think of. From the Primary, you move the most critical tasks for the Week that will help you advance your agenda and goals. Then each day, you move the 3-5 essential priorities (tasks) from the Weekly to the Daily.
While you may already know this, do you do this?
Simple adjustments in your ways can make all the difference in getting to where you want to be.

Go through this 2 minute process when you are looking at the Primary, Weekly or Daily to-do list. Chances are you will cut out a ton of things that aren’t serving you but are taking up valuable real estate in your brain!
1. What are my highest priorities?
2. What is on this list that only I can do and do the best?

to open and print your copy today!You’ve been reading this blog and want to buy Manchego but are not sure what to look for. Here’s an easy guide in 3 steps.
Step 1. Know how Manchego looks like.
Manchego, as any product with such a long history behind it, has a very recognizable appearance. It comes in big wheels of about 6 to 7 pounds – a delicious exercise regime could be buying two wheels and carrying one in each hand! The indedible rind shows a traditional basketweave pattern. The top and bottom are also pressed with patterns and divided by lines into four equal parts. Very recognizable, isn’t it?
Step 2. Make sure it’s Manchego.
With such a recognizable appearance, many people forget to look for a proof of authenticity. Note that patterns and sizes are easy to copy and so the market is full of fakes. Beware and always make sure you’re buying the real stuff and not a “Manchego-style” cheese that will set you up for a disappointment. There are a few tips (see previous posts) but, if you’re in a hurry and don’t want to make a fuss at the shop, just look at the back of the wheel. There you should find an official D.O. tab labeling it Manchego. Without that, the cheese is a fake!
Step 3. Choose your Manchego type.
Nowadays there are many types of Manchego (real Manchego) available in US stores. First of all, since Manchego can be aged from 2 months to up to 2 years, there’s a wide repertoire of aging times and therefore tasting notes. Second of all, there are dozens of certified cheesemongers producing Manchego cheese, each of them adding his personal touch to the final product. Finally, being such a versatile cheese, Manchego can be used in many recipes so knowing how you’re planning to eat the cheese could also guide your decision.
As you see, the possibilities are endless so have fun, try them all and be ingenious!The Supreme Court was of the opinion that any extra-judicial confession made in a criminal case should not be treated as weak evidence. But while admitting it as evidence the court must ensure that the confession was made under sound mind and also take note of the time and circumstances under which the confession was made.
New Delhi: The Supreme Court of India has in a ruling drawn attention towards a grey area concerning the evidentiary value of extra judicial confessions made in a criminal case. The court states that even though it requires corroboration like any other evidence gathered by the investigating agency, but that no court can discount its value and start with the presumption that it is a weak piece of evidence.
The ruling was made by a bench of Chief Justice UU Lalit and JB Pardiwala while acquitting a murder accused in which they said "“An extra judicial confession, if voluntary and true and made in a fit state of mind, can be relied upon by the Court. The confession will have to be proved like any other fact. The value of the evidence as to confession, like any other evidence, depends upon the veracity of the witness to whom it has been made".
While ruling that the voluntary extra-judicial confessions can be relied upon by courts and convictions based on them once deemed credible, the Supreme Court added a caveat by going a few steps back in cautioning trial courts about the inherent weaknesses in extra-judicial confessions as these could be procured whenever direct evidence is not available in a criminal case, Times of India reported.
The bench said that "In order to accept extra-judicial confession it must be voluntary and must inspire confidence. If the court is satisfied that the extra-judicial confession is voluntary, it can be acted upon to base the conviction".
In the judgment of the case a man Subramanya was acquitted in a murder case by a Chikmanglur sessions court in December 2012. On the appeal of the Karnataka government the High Court had reversed the acquittal and sentenced the man to life imprisonment. But now the Supreme Court acquitted the man.
The bench was of the opinion that extrajudicial confessions cannot be presumed to be weak evidence, adding "it would depend upon the circumstances, the time when the confession was made and the credibility of the witness who speak to such a confession.
The court ruled that “
