Do you live for moments where "you're so absorbed by the task at hand that you lose track of time and place"?  Some call this 'the zone', psychologists call it Flow, and I'll pointlessly coin a acronym, 'SPS' (super productive state).  CSM guest blogger Trent Hamm has some insights on how to flip [your] mental switch and find 'the zone'.  Why flip that switch?

“The Nazca Lines

 

Etched into a high plateau in Peru’s Nazca Desert, a series of ancient designs stretching more than 50 miles has baffled archaeologists for decades. Along with simple lines and geometric shapes, they include drawings of animals, birds and humans, some measuring more than 600 feet across.

Abstract

The banning of plastic bags may not be the salvation of the environment, but it could be a useful way to begin reducing waste pollution.
Plastic bags:

-  are one of the plastic products produced in the greater numbers, and one of the products most commonly dispersed in the environment;

-  have a slow rate of decomposition, and are very dangerous for sea life;

-  are a sources of "microplastic" particles (or "plastic plankton"), which is vastly present in many marine areas around the world;
