Tragopodon crocifolius (Jack-go-to-bed-at-noon)

Every so often there are unexpected delights in the garden and this week seems to have delivered more than its fair share.  I have grown Tragopodon crocifolius for years, well I have I have grown it, what I actually mean is that I grew it from seed probably around 8 years ago and it has seeded it self around the garden.  It is a hardy annual and I suspect I got the original seeds from Special Plants.  It sends up a tall ...

I'm going to start this post with a scenario that most league players can relate to either from personal experience or from observation:

#SuratFireTragedy devoured 21 lives on Friday, 24th May'19 at Takshashila Complex in Surat. I doubt that we lost only 21 lives, it could be more than that looking at the size of the building and impact of the fire. Devilish smoke coming out of the fourth floor and smothering people whose lives perished into nothing after jumping off the building because of the suffocation.

It wasn’t my garden, of course. I didn’t own it, I didn’t pay for it – at least not with money. And when I left The Priory, my responsibility for the garden ended.  I stopped being its gardener in August 2018 but my love for the place didn’t end then, nor my fascination.  It’s been a rare day since if I haven’t thought of the house, crouched down in that green valley, tight behind its beech hedge surrounded by striped lawns, trees and fields.

Northern Iceland, 1829. A woman condemned to death for murdering her lover. A family forced to take her in. A priest tasked with absolving her.

Gold Corner Pumping Station has a rather stylish 1930s look, so it's a bit of a surprise to notice that the date on a drain hopper is 1942 - right in the middle of the Second World War. In fact, this building on the Somerset Levels was important enough to the war effort that its construction was the direct result of a meeting between its engineer and Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain in 1939.

The She Book is a collection of 107 poems and prose written for you. Because this is your year to live the life of your dreams, to heal, to witness, to be the one who queens. Once a silent star in the sky, lost, alone and unnoticed, she began to dream her life awake.

You gaze upon anothers walk
Wishing you could emulate
Everything they're seen to do
Wow, amazing, they're so great
Must be something that they eat
Tuned in closely to their Lord
I will never be like them
Have to try and get on board.

Of all the Space Shuttles built, the Discovery has to be my favorite.  Not only is it the Shuttle that carried the Hubble Space Telescope into orbit, it is also the only Space Shuttle I had the privilege to climb into while I was working on the HST program. Entering service in 1984, Discovery was the third Space Shuttle orbiter vehicle to fly in space. Discovery flew 39 missions, spent a total of 365 days in space, and traveled... Читать дальше...

Based on my years of experience as a new business advisor, I always find leadership to be more important to business success than any new technology or innovative solution. The challenge is to adequately define leadership in terms of everyday activities. Most entrepreneurs believe they are leaders, even though the feedback I get from their team and partners may indicate otherwise.
