Do you telecommute? In the event that you’re independently employed or in the event that you work from home, you may as of now have a current work space. Assuming not, maybe doing as such could be an impermanent game plan, (for example, on account of social separating), or, more than likely you may decide to work for yourself later on. Peruse my blog entry for tips on telecommuting happily, with an attention on efficiency.
Here are 8 hints that I love and live by consistently:
1.spruce up
Spruce up toward the beginning of the day, like you’re leaving for office. Do permit yourself more solace than expected, however. Try not to remain in your nightgown. This will get you in the right mind-set and mentality for useful work.
2. Work space
Distinguish an agreeable, calm corner or room. Ensure that you have office writing supplies convenient, ergonomic or possibly sensibly agreeable furnishings, and the gadget you’ll be working with. Allow in sufficient natural air and unwind.
Work from Home – Balance between fun and serious activities and Using time productively.
3. Characterize limits
On the off chance that you’re new to having a work space, you may have to brief your family about your accessibility. Do define sensible limits, according to the idea of your work. On the off chance that you have little children, they could think that its hard to comprehend.
4. Web wellbeing
The web has dangers and dangers, so try to secure your gadget while taking care of significant data at home. Bosses are probably going to set rules for this reason and may give satisfactory programming to working together with colleagues successfully.
5. To-do and not-daily agenda
Have a to-do and not-daily agenda. Start with the main/earnest undertakings to guarantee finishing on schedule. Telecommuting interestingly can be testing. Notwithstanding, with appropriate association, it’s conceivable!
6. Handicap warnings
Handicap pointless warnings, particularly for web-based media. Playing music while you work is brilliant and can be an extraordinary inspiration. Pull out all the stops in the event that you can stay centered.
7. Usefulness hacks
Keep away from performing multiple tasks as it has been believed to be counterproductive. While doing particular kinds of errands, really like to group comparative ones together.
The most effective method to telecommute happily is Self-care
8. Self-care
Keep away from wear out. Take normal breaks, have espresso or lunch time, keep a sound eating regimen, work out, drink a lot of water, rest appropriately, appreciate time with family, telephone a companion, practice a side interest, and whatever else you that properly need to remain fit and blissful.
Work from Home – Balance between serious and fun activities and Using time effectively
End
Telecommuting doesn’t need to be a problem. With legitimate arranging, sorting out and execution, you can make it both fun and useful! Might you want to share your experience? Kindly do as such. In the event that you know any individual who might profit with such tips, if it’s not too much trouble, share my post. Much obliged to you!!
Hug – The Insulated Collapsible Mug
“Creativity is making marvelous out of Discarded”
Plastic Cups Pollution:
The world uses about 500 million plastic cups every year. That’s really a massive amount. Imagine these plastic cups dumped as a pile. These piles add up every year and the number tends to increase due to the increase in population. These wastes make the environmentalists who are bent over backwards in attempts of cleaning up the wastes feel exhausted. The plastic cups are not used intentionally. They are used because of the lack of an alternative. Many people have guilt about using these plastic cups. Most of us would have thought of having a reusable, variable size and handy cup. But we are provided with either or options which is just partially beneficial.
Hug – The Mug:
“Every lock has a key. Every problem has its solution”
Ruary Hewson has carefully observed the situation and has come up with an exquisite design. The features of the mug are listed as follows:
Facts about Hug:
India’s transport sector is large and diverse; it caters to the needs of 1.1 billion people. In 2007, the sector contributed about 5.5 percent to the nation’s GDP, with road transportation contributing the lion’s share.
Good physical connectivity in the urban and rural areas is essential for economic growth. Since the early 1990s, India’s growing economy has witnessed a rise in demand for transport infrastructure and services.
However, the sector has not been able to keep pace with rising demand and is proving to be a drag on the economy. Major improvements in the sector are therefore required to support the country’s continued economic growth and to reduce poverty.
Roads. Roads are the dominant mode of transportation in India today. They carry almost 85 percent of the country’s passenger traffic and more than 60 percent of its freight. The density of India’s highway network — at 0.66 km of roads per square kilometer of land – is similar to that of the United States (0.65) and much greater than China’s (0.16) or Brazil’s (0.20). However, most roads in India are narrow and congested with poor surface quality, and 33 percent of India’s villages do not have access to all-weather roads.
Rural Roads-A Lifeline for Villages in India: Connecting Hinterland to Social Services and markets
Railways. Indian Railways is one of the largest railways under the single management. It carried some 19.8 million passengers and 2.4 million tonnes of freight a day in year 2009 and is one of the world’s largest employer. The railways play a leading role in carrying passengers and cargo across India’s vast territory. However, most of its major corridors have capacity constraint requiring capacity enhancement plans.
Ports. India has 13 major and 199 minor and intermediate ports along its more than 7500 km long coastline. India’s seaborne foreign trade being 95% by volume and 67% by value, the ports play a very significant role in improving foreign trade in a growing economy. These ports serve the country’s growing foreign trade in petroleum products, iron ore, and coal, as well as the increasing movement of containers. Indian ports handled cargo of 850 million tonnes and about 9.0 million TEU container traffic in year 2010. Over the last decade, the average annual growth rate of port cargo volume has been about 10%.. The future potential for port sector, particularly container ports is huge considering that the container traffic is projected to grow to 40 million TEU by 2025. Inland water transportation also remains largely undeveloped despite India’s 14,000 kilometers of navigable rivers and canals.
Aviation. India has 128 airports, including 15 international airports. Indian airports handled 142 million passengers in 2010-11 and 1.6 million tonnes of cargo in year 2009-10. The CAGR for the domestic passenger and freight growth over the last decade has been 14.2% and 7.8% respectively. The dramatic increase in air traffic for both passengers and cargo in recent years has placed a heavy strain on the country’s major airports. Passenger traffic is projected to grow more than 15% annually over 2011-13 and it is estimated that the aviation industry, currently 9th largest in the World, will require 30 billion USD investment in the next 15 years to keep pace with the growing demand.
Urban Transport. India is experiencing rapid urbanization with the present urbanization levels at 30% translating to a population of roughly 340 million living in urban areas. The number of million plus cities is presently at 42 and the urban economy accountd for roughly 60% of the GDP. Motorisation rates in India are in double digits as in most developing economies. Only about 20 cities out of 87 cities with a population in excess of 500,000 and state capitals have any kind of organized transport and only 3-4 cities could lay claim to a mass rapid transit system. The share of public transport in cities with population sizes over 4 million has declined from 69% to 38% between 1994 to 2007. Accident and fatality rates are one of the highest in the world affecting primarily the poor and vulnerable without their own means of transport.
Transport infrastructure in India is better developed in the southern and southwestern parts of the country.
The major challenges facing the sector are:
• India’s roads are congested and of poor quality. Lane capacity is low – majority of national highways are two lanes or less. A quarter of all India’s highways are congested. Many roads are of poor quality and road maintenance remains under-funded. This leads to the deterioration of roads and high transport costs for users.
• Rural areas have poor access. Roads are significant for the development of the rural areas – home to almost 70 percent of India’s population. Although the rural road network is extensive, some 33 percent of India’s villages do not have access to all-weather roads and remain cut off during the monsoon season. The problem is more acute in India’s northern and northeastern states which are poorly linked to the country’s major economic centers.
• The railways are facing severe capacity constraints. All the country’s high-density rail corridors face severe capacity constraints. Also, freight transportation costs by rail are much higher than in most countries as freight tariffs in India have been kept high to subsidize passenger traffic.
• Urban centers are severely congested. In Mumbai, Delhi and other metropolitan centers, roads are often severely congested during the rush hours. The dramatic growth in vehicle ownership during the past decade – has reduced rush hour speeds especially in the central areas of major cities.
• Ports are congested and inefficient. The average annual growth of cargo volume in the ports in the last decade was close to 10%, However, capacity utilization in some of the major ports remain as low as 58-60% Both bulk and containerized traffic is expected to grow at a much faster pace in future and by some estimate the container traffic is projected to grow to about 4.5 times of the current volume by 2025. India’s ports need to significantly ramp up their capacity and efficiency to meet this surging demand.
• Airport infrastructure is strained. . Air traffic has been growing rapidly leading to severe strain on infrastructure at major airports, especially in the Delhi and Mumbai airports which account for more than 40 percent of nation’s air traffic.
The 34-year-old was eclipsed at times by a 22-year-old opponent who lit up an overcast Centre Court.
Defending champion Novak Djokovic absorbed a barrage of powerful hitting from Canadian Denis Shapovalov to reach his seventh Wimbledon final on Friday with a 7-6(3) 7-5 7-5 victory that kept the indefatigable Serb on course to write history.
The 34-year-old was eclipsed at times by a 22-year-old opponent who lit up an overcast Centre Court.
But as he almost always does, he responded to adversity with his usual mix of dogged defence and clinical precision to set up a Sunday showdown with Italian Matteo Berrettini.
Tenth seed Shapovalov was bidding to become only the second Canadian man to reach the Wimbledon final and despite producing some scintillating tennis, was left pondering what might have been after failing to crack the toughest nut in the business.
He struck 40 winners but whenever Djokovic found himself in peril, he manned the barricades, saving 10 of the 11 break points he faced and making only 15 unforced errors as he simply refused to be knocked off course in his steely pursuit of equalling Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal’s men’s record haul of 20 Grand Slam titles.
Djokovic won the opening set despite Shapovalov serving for it at 5-4, then saved several break points in the second as his opponent threw the kitchen sink at the five-time champion.
Even in the third set Shapovalov continued shooting from the hip but eventually his fire blew out as Djokovic claimed one of the toughest straight sets wins of his Wimbledon career.
Shapovalov left the court with tears in his eyes but he showed enough in a marvellous run to suggest that he is ready to challenge for the biggest prizes in tennis.
Djokovic has now won 18 successive sets since losing the opener in his first round match against British wildcard Jack Draper and extended his winning run at Wimbledon to 20, having last tasted defeat in the 2017 quarter-finals.
But he knew he had been in a real scrap.
GOLDEN SLAM
“I don’t think the scoreline says enough about the performance or the match,” Djokovic said on court.
“He was serving for the first set and was probably the better player in the second set as well, had many chances. We are going to see a lot of him in the future, he is a great player.”
Djokovic is now one win away for a third successive Wimbledon title, but there is an even bigger incentive that his fuelling the Serb’s insatiable appetite for victory.
Beat seventh seed Berrettini on Sunday and he will go to next month’s U.S. Open with a number of records looming — a 21st Grand Slam title and possibly a Golden Slam if, in the interim period, he wins the Olympic singles.
“Every time I hear there is something on the line that is historic it inspires me but at the same time I have to balance it and win only the next match,” Djokovic said.
For the vast majority the match there was little telling which player was making his first appearance in a Grand Slam semi-final and which one was contesting his 41st.
Left-hander Shapovalov had vowed to unleash his naturally attacking game on Djokovic in a bid to claim a first win against the Serb in seven meetings. He was as good as his word.
Ripping backhands and forehands on to the lines, he dominated the first set after breaking in the third game and served for the opening set at 5-4. It felt like a big moment if he was to stand a chance, but sadly the killer instinct that serial Grand Slam winners have is not quite there.
Some loose groundstrokes allowed Djokovic to level and the top seed took control of the tiebreak after a winning a ferocious baseline rally at 4-2.
Shapovalov ended the set with a double-fault.
Undaunted, Shapovalov continued to stretch Djokovic in the second set and had him in trouble on serve at 1-2 but failed to break despite leading 0-40.
Two games later Shapovalov had 15-40 on the Djokovic serve but again the Serb showed Houdini-like skills to extricate himself from yet another hole.
When Shapovalov double-faulted to drop his serve at 5-5, Djokovic duly held with relish to open a two-set lead.
Responding to a question on the daily new cases graph that has plateaued over the last two weeks, Dr V K Paul said on Friday that the slow rate of decline was an indicator that the virus could take the “upper hand” if the current situation did not change.
With daily case detections still above 40,000 and reports and pictures of blatant violations of social distancing norms coming from tourist spots, the head of India’s pandemic task force has again warned that the second wave of Covid-19 is not over yet, and that cases can explode if people continue to behave recklessly.
Responding to a question on the daily new cases graph that has plateaued over the last two weeks, Dr V K Paul said on Friday that the slow rate of decline was an indicator that the virus could take the “upper hand” if the current situation did not change.
India needed to achieve a “baseline” of 10,000 cases for at least three consecutive weeks before it could be said that the situation was under control, Paul said.
“It is right that the graph (of the decline in the number of cases) has slowed down. It was earlier declining at a faster pace. It only shows that we cannot take the situation for granted. If it is around 35,000-37,000 cases per day, this is almost one-third the number of cases we saw during the first wave peak. The war is not over; the second wave is not over. It is perhaps more visible in some districts and two particular states and the Northeast, but it is still there. As long as this is still rising there, the nation is not safe,” he said.
The Health Ministry said on Friday that 80 per cent of new cases were now coming from 90 districts in the country. Six states have 10 or more of these districts — Maharashtra (15), Kerala (14), Tamil Nadu (12), Odisha (12), Andhra Pradesh (10), and Karnataka (10).
“With a lot of effort and difficulty, we have reached a situation where cases are on the decline. The situation is bad only in a few districts. But all this can be snatched away from us because we have not contained the virus completely. If we give the virus an opportunity, and chains of transmission are launched…this is something we cannot afford,” Paul said.
He warned that localised surges were seen after the first wave too, and they could result in an explosion of the infection.
“We have seen in the past that there was predominant localisation of cases in some areas, and then the situation explodes. This is a warning to us that we should help the process of decline of this wave effectively to a much lower level to the baseline. The baseline has not yet been achieved. The baseline would be something below 10,000. This should be for three weeks at least,” he said.
The Ministry said that between June 26 and July 2, daily new cases were 46,258 on average, and that this number had fallen slightly to 42,100 between July 3 and July 9.
“This shows the second wave is not over; more than 35,000 cases per day is not a small number… It looks small in comparison to the high peak that we experienced, but the fact that the rate of decline is somewhat slow, tells us that if we don’t work hard on controlling the virus, it can take the upper hand,” Paul said.
Paul flagged the blatant violations of Covid norms in several parts of the country, especially at hill stations. Massive waves of tourists have descended on places such as Mussoorie and Manali in recent days.
“Within the country, we are seeing people being complacent. The violations being seen in both small and large cities, the markets…particularly in the tourist destinations, where people are going for relaxation…we can see a new risk emerging there. If this type of mingling continues to take place, and if social distancing norms are violated, the virus can spread…,” Paul said.
“We need to have a balanced approach. There is a need for tourism; however, if there are violations, there could be a serious situation. We can stop this at this moment… This is a cause for concern because of the visuals that are being witnessed, where crowds are mingling, social distancing is not being maintained. This has been highlighted at no lesser place than the Cabinet meeting taken by the Prime Minister yesterday (Thursday),” he said.
“It is the responsibility of the local administration of these tourist places that Covid-19-appropriate behaviour is strictly enforced. The market welfare societies are also responsible… We know that tourism and livelihood are important; however, there cannot be any negligence on Covid-19 norms. Both can mutually exist,” Paul said.
The government pointed out that countries like the United Kingdom, Russia, Bangladesh, South Korea, and Indonesia were witnessing a resurgence of cases. “In the countries where the situation was under control, the virus has freshly re-emerged. These include our neighbours and European countries. If we look at cases per million population, at this stage, it is more than the cases we saw during our (second) peak. The virus returns to infect the susceptible population. This shows that we cannot lower our guard in our country,” Paul said.
The white lily symbolises dignity, purity of body and soul and innocence. Lilies are often featured on the family crests of royal houses. Plus, the white lily is often used as a symbol for peace. This dramatic flower has all the potential of going into full bloom, but it is often misunderstood or not valued enough. Lilies can have many different colours; some are fiery red, others are dark as the night. They’re beautiful throughout the entire year. If you love lilies the most, chances are you know how to help others and you’re always able to lift someone’s spirits.
When a family member passes away, who will inherit the deceased person’s possessions is always a mystery. Some people leave money in their will, while others bequeath their personal belongings to their next of kin. But what if it turns out that there is a hidden treasure among these things? This happened to a family in the United States when they found a dusty old Mercedes-Benz in an old shed of a deceased relative.
This is a special story that you don’t hear often. A unique 1960 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster was stored by the former owner in a derelict shed for 40 years. When the unique sports car saw the light of day, the car turned out to be covered in dust. That did not spoil the fun, because after a good renovation it turned out to be a very unique car that had driven only 23,000 kilometers.
The dusty Mercedes-Benz was in the shed for no less than 40 years. The former owner, an American from the Midwestern United States, spotted the unique car in the early 1970s. It was love at first sight. The owner bought the car a few years later, in 1976. This model turned out to be very unique and had not been produced for twelve years at the time of purchase.
The dusty Mercedes-Benz was in the shed for no less than 40 years. The former owner, an American from the Midwestern United States, spotted the unique car in the early 1970s. It was love at first sight. The owner bought the car a few years later, in 1976. This model turned out to be very unique and had not been produced for twelve years at the time of purchase.
Instead of driving thousands of miles in his dream car, the owner decided to do something different at the time. He parked the car in a shed in Indiana and then stopped looking at it. To this day, it is still not clear why the man did this. After the man’s death, the car was sold to Gullwing Motor Cars, a garage specializing in the sale of American and European classic cars. Fortunately, these men knew what to do with this unique car and completely refurbished it.
The Mercedes-Benz turned out to have a unique blue-gray color under the thick layer of dust. Unfortunately, all these years in the shed have not done the car any good and the car had discolored to a silver-colored layer of paint. However, that makes the 300SL Roadster no less special. In total only 1,458 copies of this specific model were made. Only 249 cars were made after 1960, the year of production of this Mercedes-Benz. In combination with the extremely low mileage, this Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster is worth a fortune. The car is currently for sale for $1,095,000 million, converted about $ 1,014,000 million.
The whole world knows by now that Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, doesn’t have a very good relationship with her father. He wasn’t present at her wedding, though it still isn’t entirely clear whether this was due to health reasons or because Meghan, or the royal family, didn’t want him there (or a combination). Meghan and her father have become estranged due to his many comments in the media and his co-operation with the paparazzi right before the royal wedding. Their relationship hasn’t always been this bad, though. A few years ago Meghan even posted a Father’s Day post on Instagram, thanking him for all he’d done for her, ending with the words “I love you”. The post is no longer up, since Meghan’s Instagram was deleted when she became part of the royal family.
Markle, a 74-year-old retired Hollywood lighting director, heard the news of his daughter’s pregnancy on the radio in his car. He said the news was “overwhelming and joyful” to him and that “the first thing I thought about was holding Meghan in my arms as a newborn 37 years ago.” Markle reminisces about Meghan’s birth through C-section, saying she was the most beautiful baby and that it was love at first sight. He says that the news of Meghan’s pregnancy filled him with joy and pride and that he is delighted for both her and Harry. “She will make a fantastic mother.”
Thomas Markle denies the rumours that Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland, called him with the baby news before it was made public. Markle was markedly absent from the official announcement, which did include Ragland: “Ms Doria Ragland is very happy about the lovely news and she looks forward to welcoming her first grandchild.” While Markle has yet to meet his son-in-law Harry, Ragland has accompanied the couple on various occasions. She’s also said to be planning a move to England, so she can help take care of the royal baby.
Can you see the girl between the rocks? If you can find her you’ve got some very good eyes. We had to look about four times before we finally saw her!
Where’s Waldo
The internet loves looking for things in pictures Where’s Waldo-style. Do you remember the picture of all the snowmen and one single panda bear? That one was made by Hungarian artist Gergely Dudás and went completely viral. Today we’ve got another picture for you in which something is hidden. Take a look at the picture on the next page! Can you find the girl?
Difficult
The picture was posted on Imgur, an online platform on which you can share your pictures, and it captured the attention of many of its users. We know there’s a girl, but where is she?! Because it’s so difficult to find the girl, many people thought the photographer was fooling them and there was nothing to see in the picture. But the girl is really there. We’ve got the solution for you below!
If you follow our blog regularly, you’ll know we love sharing these odd images, riddles and quizzes with you to determine your personality. Did you know that some images are very telling about the way you think? The Rorschach test, the official name for ink blot tests, has been used for years. We have a new one for you: this image with a tree, a gorilla, a lion and fish. What did you see first?
Fun fact: this image is the logo of the Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium in the United States. Find out on the next page what the different animals tell you.
Did you see the gorilla first? This could mean you have a lowered self-image. You are perfectionistic and quite hard on yourself. Your standard is very high, and you expect the very best of yourself. This is difficult, as no one can be perfect and live up to your high standards. You are also very curious and you like to discover new things and experience new stuff. Try to focus on what’s good for YOU, not what other people expect of you.
If you saw the lion first it means you like your freedom. You are independent and act instinctually. You don’t like to judge and hate being placed in a box. If you feel suffocated by someone, you are likely to use your ‘claws’ to defend yourself. This means you can be quite direct and harsh, even if you don’t mean to be. You love life and live it to the fullest. Your heart is in the right place, but sometimes you forget how other people may perceive your behaviour.
Even though they are not very prominent, the fish were the first to catch your attention. This means you are an introverted person who doesn’t like to be in the centre of attention. You don’t show the true you to many people. Nonetheless, people like you and you’re easy-going. You are dependable and are able to build strong bonds with others, meaning you are often called ‘best friend’. Your empathic and people like being around you.
A career in the military means being away from home from time to time. And when they are, many soldiers are separated from their families. This sometimes leads to painful, yet beautiful stories. Take, for example, the US Marine Chris Daugherty, who came home to a very special surprise after his military service…
When Daugherty left home in January 2017, he initially expected to be away from home for about five months. A few months later, however, it would become clear that his trip would be extended. An unexpected twist, but it was nothing compared to the shock that awaited him on his return…
Daugherty, his wife Natasha and their three children were no strangers to the Marine family life. The Marine had been away from home for extended periods before, so when he left for Korea in early 2017, the family knew what to expect.
Still, it wasn’t long before Natasha started to feel lonely. Although she was just starting to get used to her husband’s long journeys, she felt strange this time around. She even found herself behaving differently this time. It all began with small changes, but soon these became more and more difficult to hide…
Natasha’s children also began to notice these changes. Her eldest child, a 10-year-old boy, could easily keep it a secret, but whether her younger daughter could too? That was the question.
Although Natasha didn’t have much time for herself with all the work she had to do at home, she still kept in regular contact with her husband. They video called each other almost every day, but it wasn’t easy for Natasha. What if Chris found out that she was trying to hide something?
There were times it was especially difficult for Natasha to keep her secret. She wanted to tell Chris so badly. A few weeks after he left, they had a video call during which she almost gave it away. At the last minute she decided to keep it a secret.
Besides Chris, Natasha’s immediate family too couldn’t know about her secret. This proved to be more difficult by the day, because she had many clever relatives who could easily find out that the woman was keeping a secret.
Not only Natasha’s situation was getting more and more dangerous. Chris, who was in Korea at the time, also got into trouble. The North Korean government was experimenting with nuclear weapons, and Chris was close to the test site.
Natasha lived in uncertainty about her husband’s fate. Still, she had to make ends meet With two jobs and three children to care for, she barely had time for herself.
Five months had passed, but Chris had not returned. In fact, his mission would be extended by a month. He called his wife from the army base to break the news. The mission, which became increasingly dangerous, would continue for at least another month…
It was a nerve-wracking time for Natasha. Every day she doubted whether or not she should reveal the secret. What if her husband died? Could she ever forgive herself?
Still, she held on, and her perseverance paid off. In June, six months after Chris’s departure, he set course back to his home in America.
Some love gardening and other like to stay as far away from it as possible. Whether you belong to the first or second category; it’s always nice to know a few handy garden tricks that will save you time and money. We have therefore listed 21 garden hacks for you. Here they come:
Even for those who like gardening, weeding can be a pain. Did you know that you can prevent weeds from growing in your garden by using a newspaper?
Place an old newspaper over an area that you’d like to weed. Wet the newspaper and cover it completely with soil, firmly pressing the soil against the newspaper. This way the weeds (under the newspaper) do not receive sunlight or oxygen, which suffocates the weeds. The newspaper paper is organically degradable too, so you don’t have to worry about pollution.
Do you regularly mow the grass and does the grass stick to the blades of your lawn mower? You can easily prevent this by spraying the blades of your mower with cooking spray. As a result, grass sticks to the blades a lot less easily.
You don’t have to buy tomato seeds if you want to grow your own tomatoes. All you need is a pot, potting soil and an overripe tomato. Cut the tomato into slices and fill the pot up to about three quarters with potting soil. Place the cut tomato slices in the pot and press lightly. Cover the slices with some soil and press again. Place the pot in a sunny spot and water the soil occasionally.Once the seedlings come up, you can repot them. There is a good chance that dozens of tomato plants have emerged from the soil. If all goes well, one tomato plant can produce dozens of tomatoes. Four tomato plants are probably more than enough.
