 lexicon genius, Richards was able to do it without speaking an actual word of French. Apparently, he memorized the French Scrabble dictionary. Just goes to show that memorizing lists is the key to success in Scrabble.
Not Stopping For NH School Buses Will Cost NH Drivers Big
You're already late to work or an appointment. Lights start to flash from an oncoming school bus, and you ignore the the signs to stop. Big mistake.
According to WMUR News 9, police in the Granite State have launched Operation: Safe Stop. Beginning yesterday, police in Manchester issued their first ticket under the program while school buses were picking up students. The law applies to buses of all sizes. For example, in a case yesterday, the driver accused of not stopping for a bus told the officer that she didn't realize she had to stop for small school buses, as well as the full-size ones, police said. According to the report, the driver was charged a fine of $124.
The program has support from local and state government. According to the Department of Safety, more than 170,000 students ride school buses every day in New Hampshire, but data doesn't exist on how many drivers are failing to obey the law.Bad Yard Club

The projector is a Bell Howell CX1 (don't think anyone will know it!!!!! circa 1988) On viewing the image, it would expand and contract (in x and y directions), individual tubes being turned on and off, seemed to affect the problem. The only thing i can think to discribe it would be that the image would expand to utilised the full face of the tubes. after a number of minutes the projector seemed to loose some brightness and was decided to turn it off and letting is cool down. after about 25 minutes it was fully cool, and decided to turn it back on. the projector would turn on, and start to hear static build up, but with no image. Any one with any suggestions???? Has anyone had similar problems with any other crt. How was it diagnosed and resolved, i don't think anyone will have a full solution as the projector is so old. but areas to examine might help. All visiable fuses have been check and found ok. <br />Thanks for any suggestions in advance Ade.

The global workplace wellness industry is an estimated 43 billion dollars, for things like benefits and wellness programs. In global metrics this number is much lower than all other wellness sub-industries. For example, the fitness-mind-body industry is 542 billion dollars spent annually, worldwide. (1)
But before you give your heart and soul to your organization thinking ‘they’ will take good care of you, let’s discuss the role you play in your own wellbeing at work and home that will help you increase happiness and decrease stress in your life.
I’ve worked in the corporate world as a Human Resources Advisor for many years and what I’ve learned is that inefficiencies, time management issues, decreased productivity, and high turnover rates happen as a result of over-worked, burnt-out or uninspired people. That is precisely why many companies today place high value on employee wellness programs.
Smart companies know that if they invest in wellness programs their employees will be physically, mentally, and emotionally better equipped to manage stress, tackle work and personal problems more efficiently, and be more invested in company’s goals. A great company will encourage and support its employees to have more work-life balance by providing great benefits, flexible schedules, and even work-from-home policies that promote wellbeing in the workplace.
Enjoy the benefits of work-life balance and avoid the ‘work-life trap’ which is a lot of work and no life, with these 5 key steps:
- BE BOLD: Don’t be afraid to stand up to your boss, share your thoughts and opinions on a process or policy that is stressing you out or could be edited or eliminated. You should feel like you are contributing in any way to your organization and that includes being a voice for change. If they don’t hear you or don’t appreciate your valuable feedback then perhaps it is time to look for something else. You see, when you do meaningful work and your contribution is acknowledged, appreciated, and respected you want to do more good work and that strengthens your relationship with your employer. Employer: think of ways to streamline your internal policies so that your people feel safe to speak up as that will only strengthen loyalty, engagement, and productivity.
- TAKE TIME FOR YOU: Take time for yourself and stop eating lunch at your desk. I know, it’s not easy and I know that you don’t have time- trust me, I’ve been there. You need to realize that your work place needs you healthy and sane not sick and stressed out. That is why taking time for you during your lunch hour is very important. It helps you relax by decreasing sympathetic stress and encourages better productivity and improved cognitive function. Employer: provide an environment where your people can eat together, share good communication, and recharge their energy in order to do great work.
- START A WELLNESS AT WORK TEAM: Since you spend most of the day at work it should be not just productive but also fun. Ask your HR Advisor if starting a wellness committee is feasible. When I was an HR Advisor in my corporate years, I implemented many programs like HIIT (high intensity interval training), fitness challenges, and group walks all during lunch hour in order to get people moving, decrease stress, and support team building. Employer: look for a corporate wellness provider that can help you implement amazing programs that people love. Ask your employees what would make them happier and more productive at work.
- EAT WELL: Your productivity, mood, and even energy levels are affected by what you feed your body. So if you are having a bit too many “Monday morning meeting donuts” you will feel tired, uninspired, experience not so good mood, and probably some bloating. Feeling this way will only undermine all other positive factors which are so important in order to feel happy and fulfilled, especially at work. Employer: provide a healthy lunch or sponsor a healthy inspired snack delivery service; your employees will love you for it.
- MEDITATION IS KEY: Mediation is an ancient practice originated in India and practiced all over the world for centuries. With increasing research and studies in this realm, we now know that meditation has great effects on the physical and mental wellbeing (2). When I dedicate time to my meditation practice on a regular basis I feel more at ease, calm, and in control of life’s challenges as well as blessings. Try mindfulness or guided meditation and see how amazing you will feel. Employer: provide a health and wellness program to encourage movement, yoga and meditation.

TatianaWell-known insider Ice Universe on his Twitter page has given a lot of comparison photos taken by the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra cameras and the recently introduced Vivo X90 Pro+. All comparisons are not in favor of the Korean phone.
Already in the comments to the first series of pictures, the insider wrote: “The gap between S22 Ultra and top smartphones is so big“. Obviously, the “top smartphones” meant the Vivo X90 Pro+. However, the Galaxy S22 Ultra is also a flagship and will remain so until the release of the Galaxy S23 Ultra. In addition, you need to consider that the Vivo X90 Pro + has just come out, while the Galaxy S22 Ultra will soon be a year old.
In the photo of the track at night, the insider notes that the red colors that are visible in the photo from the Galaxy S22 Ultra camera are actually not there. And this is already a question for color reproduction, white balance and, in general, the automation of a smartphone camera.
