![]() Eisenhower rose to prominence as General of the U.S. The Eisenhower Decision Matrix in a Nutshell:īorn in 1890, Dwight D. The question then is, can you do anything about it?īeyond ensuring you’re communicating well with those who set these always urgent and important tasks, adopting a processing and prioritization strategy like The Eisenhower Decision Matrix, can help you figure out how best to handle the many different tasks on your plate, including how to decide which ones you should work on, which you can delegate, and which can be deferred to a later date based on current priorities. The end result of these “unreasonable expectations” and “unnecessary interruptions” is that you’re frustrated, stressed, and overwhelmed. According to Craig Lambert, author of “ Shadow Work: The Unpaid, Unseen Jobs That Fill Your Day,” technological advances, and the new reality of wearing multiple hats (worker, spouse, and parent) have made it such that not only are there increasingly more to-do’s on your plate, but you’re expected to get them done in the same amount of time. If this scenario sounds familiar, you’re in good company. What on earth are you supposed to do to get it all done? Suddenly you feel tired, worried, and inefficient. Now, in addition to the things you had to do this week, there are another five urgent and important tasks for you to fit into an already busy schedule. In just half an hour that neat plan for the week has been made redundant. Your mind is clear and orderly as you enter your first meeting of the day, a problem-solving session with the higher-ups, and a couple of other colleagues. You’ve even gone so far as to sketch out your top three priorities for each day of the week. You’re feeling pretty good about things-organized and focused. It’s Monday and you’ve planned out your entire week using the time boxing method, a new time management strategy you learned about from HourStack. The urgent are not important, and the important are never urgent. I have two kinds of problems, the urgent and the important.

![]() One patient developed wound fat liquefaction which resolved by changing the dressing. Except one patient still had Frankel grade B neurological injury at 12 months after surgery, the other patients improved their neurological situation (at 1 grade in Frankel scale). JOA score was significantly improved from 6.3 ± 3.1 preoperatively to 11.1 ± 4.6 at 12 months after operation ( P = 0.007), with 50.5 ± 25.7% recovery rate and 66.7% excellent and good rate. Odontoid fracture healing was obtained in all patients within 9 months, and graft fusion was achieved within 6 months. ![]() Mean follow-up time of all 12 cases was 16.4 months (range, 12 to 48 months). Frankel grading system was used for the evaluation of neurological situation. Upper limbs, lower limbs and sphincter functions were assessed using the Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score. Fracture healing and bone fusion were determined on X-ray scan. Accordingly, individualized surgeries were performed. This is a retrospective study of 12 patients (5 females and 7 males age, 21-65 years) who underwent internal fixation for odontoid fractures (type II and shallow type III) and atlantoaxial instability in 6 cases, C2-3 instability in 4 cases, simultaneous C1-2 and C2-3 instability in 2 cases between January 2005 and June 2012. The aim of this study was to further investigate the surgical treatment strategies and curative effects for odontoid fractures combined with instability of adjacent segments. ![]() At present, traumatic atlantoaxial dislocation or C2-3 instability complicating odontoid fractures remains rarely reported. ![]() But in its specifics and its character details, it’s an unapologetically wacky crime show driven to outdo itself (and its fellow Sherlock series) with increasingly outlandish cases for Sherlock (Yuko Takeuchi) and her nascent partner, Wato Tachibana (Shihori Kanjiya), to unravel. On that level, it has more in common with Elementary than, say, Sherlock, with its feature-length episodes. It is, at its core, a run-of-the-mill hour-long police procedural. ![]() Miss Sherlock offers a genuinely fun, slightly uneasy take on a familiar concept and character dynamic. In this case, however, the show in question works in favor of HBO and its subscribers. It’s not so much a gamble on HBO’s behalf as it is a necessity. Audiences are so eager to consume content they’re seemingly more willing than ever to give something like Miss Sherlock a try. As evidenced by Netflix’s recent string of international offerings, like Dark, The Rain, Babylon Berlin, Sacred Games and more, the push for subscribers’ eyeballs means content providers need no longer live in fear of the dreaded subtitle. That is: making all the content produced under the HBO shingle available to everyone - whether it originates in the U.S. On the other hand, the show’s availability is evidence of HBO taking a page from Netflix’s everything to everyone playbook.

With the debut of HBO’s Asia’s charming Miss Sherlock, the answer seems to be…well, a lot. Reilly set to hit theaters later this year, a question of Holmes over-saturation begins to creep into one’s mind. With a third Sherlock Holmes film led by Downey and Jude Law presumably on the way, and a comedic version starring Will Ferrell and John C. ![]() See the Kangaroo Island Glossy Black-Cockatoo 2022 Census Report to find out more. ![]() It is likely that flock sizes are now re-adjusting to the lower food availability in some areas post-fire. In 2021, 377 glossies were counted, and flock sizes in some of the areas most heavily impacted by the bushfires were lower than in 2020. It is likely that the long-term conservation work carried out for this species, which has increased the population size and range over the years, has meant glossies are more resilient to this natural disaster than they would have been without management. Now more than ever the glossy-black cockatoos need your help! In partnership with Nature Foundation, we have developed a fund that allows people to donate directly to the recovery program.Īmazingly, 454 glossies were counted in the population census post-fire in 2020, indicating mortality as a direct result of the bushfires was low. Post-fire habitat surveys have revealed that at least 54 % of the glossies sheoak feeding habitat and 38.5 % of all known nests were destroyed in the bushfires. The 2019-2020 bushfires on Kangaroo Island have had a significant impact on the glossy black-cockatoo population on Kangaroo Island. Graph of Glossy Black-Cockatoo Population Census Counts Thanks to this work, the Kangaroo Island Glossy black-cockatoo recovery program has been one of Australia’s most successful conservation programs, and work by the recovery program and the local community had increased the KI glossy population from less than 200 in 1995 to around 454 in 2020. We install and maintain over 100 nest boxes across Kangaroo Island. Lack of nesting hollows in some areas.We plant thousands of drooping sheoaks each year on private property to increase feeding habitat on Kangaroo Island. Loss of drooping sheoak feeding habitat.We control these species at nest sites to reduce competition. Galahs, little corellas and feral honeybees all compete with glossies for hollows, and little corellas and galahs have been recorded smashing glossy eggs and have been implicated in the killing of small nestlings. Our staff protect every known nest from possum predation by installing and maintaining tree collars around nest trees. Predation of eggs and nestlings by abundant brushtail possums.The main threats to the population, and the management we undertake, are: The egg is incubated for 30 days, and after hatching the nestling is cared for by its parents for a further 90 days before it fledges. They lay a single egg in a clutch and can only rear one clutch to fledging per year. Glossy black-cockatoos are also unique, in that they have a very low reproductive rate. The 2019-2020 bushfires have now meant that a great deal of both feeding and nesting habitat have been lost. The population has more than doubled but glossies still depend on habitat restoration and nest protection to survive, and are conservation dependent, meaning without our help they will likely become extinct. Recovery efforts for the species began in 1995, when the population was at a low of 158 individuals. Being a dietary specialist, this species is highly sensitive to changes in the amount or quality of sheoak seeds, and only occur where drooping sheoak is plentiful. This subspecies feeds almost exclusively on the seeds of the drooping sheoak ( Allocasuarina verticillata), and nests in hollows in large old-age Eucalyptus species. The glossy black-cockatoo we have on Kangaroo Island is a separate sub-species to those found in eastern Australia ( Calyptorhynchus lathami halmaturinus) and is classified as Endangered under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.

You can use both QBO Payroll products and QuickBooks Payments with all three QBO versions as well. Please note all three versions integrate with Dubsado! QBO offers three versions, each offering more as you move up the price scale. Another important note: If you start out in QBSE and decide later you do want to move beyond that simple self-employed person and grow into a business, there is no way to convert your data over when you realize you have outgrown QBSE.īEST FOR: Creatives/Entrepreneurs who intend to only work as a contractor for others who do not plan on growing their own business. If your goals are bigger than that, if you plan on growing from just a few clients into a business, then you really should be starting off in a version of QBO.

Intuit clearly explains at the beginning of their QBSE webinars that QBSE is not for small business owners, but rather for a person who is self-employed. I wanted to take some time to break down all of Intuit’s QuickBooks Online accounting offerings to help you figure out which one is right for you. QuickBooks Online alone has three versions, which can get confusing. If you've explored QuickBooks, you know that there are various types of the program to chose from, so many want to know the differences and who should use what. I talk to clients and see questions in many online forums regarding QuickBooks Online (QBO) and QuickBooks Self Employed (QBSE). If you have an account with both Dubsado and QuickBooks, you are able to integrate the two services, allowing invoices and actions done within Dubsado to reflect on the QuickBooks side. While Dubsado offers bookkeeping features suitable for most business owners, some people prefer to have a deeper overview of their financials: enter Dubsado's integration with QuickBooks. QuickBooks is aimed primarily toward small and medium-sized businesses and offers robust bookkeeping functionality. If you aren't familiar with it, QuickBooks is an accounting software developed by Intuit. If you scroll through the Dubsado Facebook community, you'll see a lot of people talking about how they utilize a program called QuickBooks alongside Dubsado. To change graphical subtitles to text, use a free software like Subtitle Edit to make the conversion. Just be sure to have the subtitle in a text format as Roku Media Player will only be able to show close captioning if it’s text. Our suggestion is to create a MKV file which is just a MP4 container that also contains the subtitle files, allowing you to select multiple subtitles in various languages that are included in the video file container. If you have a MP4 video file, there is no way to read the subtitle unless it’s burned into the movie, which means subtitle can’t be turned off, or you have a separate SRT file with the same name as the video file.

Here you will find another great source for silica pearls although slightly deep within the waterways than those which can be found in the Northern Isles.įurther south in this region you will find open plains bordered by the coastal beaches (left) and wooded inclines (right). ![]() Parallel to "The Swamps" is access to the mouth of "The Great Canyon" or "The Valley" which pierces through the center of the map. A dangerous zone to enter ill prepared but is a necessity for anyone seeking Plant Species X seeds. Here you will find all swamp biome creatures matching that on the other maps. ![]() The Wyvern.Įxtending out to the western ocean is "The Swamps". The main northern entrance to "The Scar" or "Dragonmalte Trench" harshly merges into the topography, providing both an ethereal sense of design and a gentle reminder to the true beast of Ragnarok. In order to balance the beautiful scenery and rich abundance of resources, there is a price to pay for living in this region. With the lighthouse situated at the very top of the rolling hills, you will find many resources around.Ī new feature in Ragnarok is the addition of natural farms that produce crops and vegetables naturally over time which can be harvested without the need to plant, fertilize and replant. Cementing paste, being one of the most useful advancement resources, can be heavily farmed here either from smaller beaver dams (like those on other maps) or the newly added larger beaver dens.Ī fertile land mass called "The Highlands" is a common place to find a Giga. On the east side of the Northern region is the start of "The Scar" or otherwise known as "Wyvern Trench" but it is advised to only approach this zone on a flyer, should you need to make a fast retreat.įurther south you will find a waterway and small interconnected lakes which home the largest beaver population on the map. Just slightly north of that you will approach a cluster or rocks jutting out of the sea, referred to as "Viking Isles" or "The Silica isles" The reason for this name is due to plenty of silica pearls, which can be found amongst the shallow waters between these behemoth rocks. This region of the map showcases one of the natural structures that are can be found throughout Ragnarok, which is "The Castle of the Swamps". Ruther to the south-east of this region, you will find the "Ice Lake", the "Ice Dungeons" and there have even been reports of Ice Wyverns patrolling the skies. This region is a popular place for alpha tribes to become established due to the close proximity to valuable resources and also the sheer flat building surfaces available. Slightly further east in the region, you will approach two large, flat stone formations in an area commonly called "Twin falls" which opens up into Viking Bay. Here we have what is referred to as "The Jungles" with a largely dense jungle region reaching from the coast right to the foot of "Wedlock Peak". If you are playing on a privately hosted server either through a dedicated console or a third party host, then the map will already be available by simply selecting the Ragnarok map through the admin settings on the server settings menu. This can be completed easier in single player mode, through the use of admin commands and will grant access to Ragnarok on official servers, after completion. Details on how to do this can be found here. This is achieved through beating all the bosses and essentially "beating" the game, as it stands. If you wish to play Ragnarok on an official hosted server you will need to first " Ascend" at alpha, beta and gamma level. Upon release, this map was at 50% completion for the PC version and 75% completion for the console (now both are at 75%) which is a testimony to the vision of the Ragnarok development team, given that this map is, by far, the largest we have seen. Therefore, allowing the player to have ultimate freedom with the type of building, dinos, weapons, items, resources and even topography in which they wish to experience. This map has a pleasant blend between the "vanilla" biomes and that which we saw in the Scorched Earth expansion. The success of this is due to the diverse range of biomes and resources available for all players. Created, in what originally started as a mod program, the Ragnarok map has become the latest installment on official maps provided by Studio Wildcard. |
