A huge problem in allot of homes is scuff marks along the walls. Houses with kids may experience this trouble more than most and may find scuff marks along not just the walls but the furniture, doors, and often even somehow the ceilings. A good inexpensive and efficient way to fight this problem is with a scuff remover.
Before buying a mattress you should equip yourself with significant info. Identify what kind of bed is most ideal for you. Do you like soft or tough beds? Would you like a standard mattress or a foam mattress? If you are unsure, go try a few different mattress kinds. Second, consider your spending plan. This is not an investment you wish to scrimp on, as a bad evening's sleep can influence your whole day. Attempt to get as much worth as you can for your spending plan. Lastly, size is an essential element especially if there is even more than someone oversleeping the bed. Preferably, you should both have the ability to lie on the bed with your arms behind your heads and not touch. A bed should be 10-15 cm longer than the tallest person oversleeping that bed. Pay attention to the height. Decrease beds can be easy to get into however harder to get out of. High beds can be tough to get into, especially for shorter individuals, however very easy to hop out of in the morning.
Think of quality. Make the effort to pull the bedspread out of its packaging (if you can) to feel it and pull on it (gently). See if it is going to hold up to whatever you prepare to throw at it. Look at the cleaning directions. Most bedspreads can be device washed, however lots of require the oversize cleaning equipments to get actually clean. Look to see if you have exactly what your bedspread is going to need for its washing or if you will need to take it to be expertly cleaned. If you need to take it to someone, you will need to decide if that is an expense (in both money and time) you want to invest.
Coverlets are of two kinds: woven or quilted. The quilted coverlets are generally two layered fabrics which are stitched together to create a warmth effect besides embellishing the bed. The woven ones are covers with a woven design in colored wool yarn on a background of cotton or natural linen.
The optimal medieval bed was made to be proceeded the area. When a Lord and Lady would take a trip, they would also take a trip with their bed. As the times reached to the age of the Tudors, many individuals could possibly manage the normal framed beds. Still made from planks and hard boards, these beds were more readily available to the public. They began to handle the appearance of the beds we have today. Nevertheless the building of a Tudor bed was rather doing not have. Held together with absolutely nothing more than extended cords, these cords would need to be replaced when they would become extended beyond use.
It can not be denied that memory foam mattress pads are extremely comfortable and long lasting as a normal bed mattress can be compared. Another essential attribute of memory foam mattress pads is that they are temperature level delicate and somewhat higher at reduced temperature levels and softer at high temperature levels. The quality of memory foam mattress pads depend on their thickness.

Q: Use different template layouts for dev and prod environment In symfony 2, I want a specific environment to use a specific layout and another one to use another layout.
What would be the best way to do that?
To further clarify, let's say I have a "prod_one" environment, and a "prod_two" environment.
The prod_one environnment has to use some specific header in the html pages that are rendered, whereas the prod_two environment requires those headers not to be set.
Thank you !

A: In Controller you can find out what environment is being used using kernel service' getEnvironment method:
$env = $this->get('kernel')->getEnvironment();
if ($env == "prod_one"){
    //$response->header->set(...);
    //return $this->render(...);
} else if ($env == "prod_two"){
  // ...
}

In twig: you can use the global twig variable - app.environment:
{% if app.environment == 'prod_one' %}
    {# Content for prod_one env #}
{% elseif app.environment == 'prod_two' %}
    {# Content for prod_two env #}
{% endif %}

"This is going to be our twentieth year as a band," shouts Benjamin Kowalewicz from the stage of the Coliseum. It's the first stop on Billy Talent's Dead Silence Tour across Canada and the crowd could not be more thrilled. Even though the band formed back in 1993, it wasn't until a whole decade later that their self-titled album first hit the shelves. Since then, three addition albums have been released including their latest, Dead Silence.
Looking rejuvenated and as excited as ever to be performing in front of their fans again, it's no surprise that even after twenty years, when talent prevails, continued success follows. Lead guitarist, Ian D'Sa and drummer Aaron Solowoniuk sit down with us to chat about the new album, why four-band bills are important to them, and what their definition of a "Canadian luxury" is. The boys also spill the details on their special contribution to this year's Record Store Day.
There's a saying that goes, "the calm before the storm," but your new album's last track is more about the silence after the storm. Where was the concept born out of and how did Dead Silence end up being the album name?
Ian: That song 'Dead Silence' is written from the perspective of an innocent victim of a war-torn country. It just ended up being perfect for the end of the album. It's kind of a glum ending to the album anyway so we figure we'll put it at the end and it'll cap off the whole theme of the album.
Aaron: The artwork started flowing in for the record and we got this image of an underwater city. It also looked like it'll be really quiet if you were underwater in a city, in dead silence. It just ended up being the perfect name for the record.
The song 'Viking Death March' sounds like a call to arms. How have fans responded to the song and is it what you expected?
Ian: We put it out for our fans at first and it really took off on the Internet and radio. That's really great because I think it's a very empowering song for people and it is a call to arms in a way like being aware of your surroundings and that letting other people make decisions for you isn't always the best answer.
Aaron: The fans are reacting to it amazingly. It's one of those songs I think we always have to play it in every set no matter what because it's just getting such a good reaction.
The lyrical content of 'Surprise Surprise' deals with what you call a "first world epidemic" like superficiality and reliance of technology. Why was it important for you to comment on these kinds of social phenomena?
Ian: I think anytime you're writing, it's really important to stay relevant and current. That's just what we were noticing around us at the time, especially in this generation. It's like the Internet generation. That song is a commentary on what's going on right now.
Ian: I think there are a lot of positives. The information aspect is really positive. People have access to information and access to educate themselves really easily at the touch of a laptop, so that's really great. But, also there so much advertising involved with the Internet. I feel like people need to be aware that they're not getting sold on stuff as well.
A lot of your music still has that signature aggressiveness in it. What's more revitalizing for you – getting to belt out songs to your audience or having the audience scream it back at you word-for-word?
Aaron: It's pretty equal, man. We're really lucky to have some of the best fans in the world singing these songs back to us, especially new songs.
Ian: But the in-ear monitors take it away [laughs]. You kind of have to when you play big stages like this. You don't hear as much of the crowd as you want, but the great part is what makes you play better is feeding off the energy of the crowd. So the two are yin and yang and they work together that way.
For the Canadian leg of your tour, you've got three supporting acts – Sum 41, Hollerado and Indian Handcrafts, which is not that common. Was this a deliberate decision by the band and why?
Ian: Yeah, we've always done four-band bills since we can remember, especially for our Canadian tour. Whenever we do a Canadian tour, we like to bring a couple of well-known bands and a couple bands that people may not know about. It's an opportunity to showcase that band in front of our fans. It's a really cool thing to do because people did that for us back in the day.
After so many years of performing, has anything changed in terms of pre-show rituals or preparations and hitting the stage each night?
Aaron: You're kind of looking at it.
Ian: This is a jam room.
Aaron: It's a Canadian luxury.
Ian: There are all these extra rooms in the arena so why not bring our old gear and let every band use it to jam whenever they want to. It's a really cool thing because everyone can warm up before their set. They can also sit here to write and jam with other band members. It creates a nice, creative atmosphere on tour.
One of your most thematically important songs is 'Nothing To Lose'. Is there a solution, in your opinion, to the unfortunate realities of bullying?
Ian: It's sad that it's taken a whole new form with Internet bullying. I think it's something that is always going to be there, but I think we have to make people more aware of it and make sure the people who do it are called on and found out. I think that's the only way to prevent it from happening in the future.
Aaron: What we've done is that we have guest lists for every show. Those guest lists can get from thirty people to fifty people to a hundred people sometimes. What we've asked is that every person that is on our guest list, there's a mandatory minimum $10 donation from each person that goes to Kids Help Phone. We're trying to help the organizations that can help the kids through it all.
Billy Talent's beginnings is one many people can relate to – working day jobs to fund studio time, etc. What was the driving force behind that period and what motivated you to push through the struggle?
Ian: It's a real want and passion. You don't want to do it. You have to do it That was basically our attitude for a long time. We worked in other jobs and careers and at night we'd rehearse as a band. That was the primary focus – try to get on some sort of label and have our music out there somehow.
Aaron: We grew up in a very influential time too. We were teenagers going to concerts when it was like The Beastie Boys, Rage Against The Machine, Soundgarden, Nirvana. It was all such a great time to be a teenager and to be in a band and to see these bands play.
If you could pass off some advice to struggling musicians who aren't seeing any results, what would that be?
Ian: First and foremost, write good songs. Write songs that are honest and that affect people. Secondly, if you're performing in a band, make sure that everyone in the band has the same end goal as you do because some people might not want to do this for a career. They might just want to play in a band. It's really important to align yourself with people who have the same end goals as you have.
Aaron: The worst thing is to work at something for four years and one guy wants to be a dentist.
Record Store Day is coming up on April 20th this year. Do you plan on participating this year or in future years?
Ian: Yeah! We're going to have a special release for Record Store Day. We're super proud of it. [To Aaron] Are we allowed to talk about it?
Aaron: Yeah, yeah. We just did a 7-inch picture disc for 'Stand Up and Run'.
Ian: It's our new single and on the B-side, we got our good friend to do a special dub remix of 'Sudden Movements', which was from our last album.
Do any of you still get mistakenly called 'Billy'?
Ian: Totally. All the time.

We finally have it done! The last vet bill came in yesterday and we finalized everything overnight and this morning and the results are attached.
For 2016 members the Club is returning $42.93 to each member. That means to renew for 2017 you would fill out the attached form along with a check or credit card for $207.07. Should you wish to not renew for 2017, please let either Jeff (jmaday@canterburypark.com) or I (ted@grevelisracing.com) know and you will receive a check in the mail.
Attached are both the rollover form and the final financial spreadsheet. Once again, while not the most financially lucrative year we have ever had but we certainly learned an awful lot and, hopefully, had some fun along the way!
I hope that we see many, if not all, of you this summer as we start another journey together. Please have your renewals in by February 28, 2017. THANK YOU!
I did not see anything about the sale of Miz Owell in the financials. Did I miss something? I thought we recieved $1500 for her.
We did. Which means that I missed something in the audit because the final number is the final number. It stays in account here at the track. Admittedly I rushed through to get it done so everyone would have enough time to renew. I only went back a couple of months but will getvthe entire account and go through it. But the final total wil not change.
We are looking forward to a new year for the Racing Club. The check is in the mail. Our future claims are just now beginning to get fit and just waiting for us to claim him or her and head across the finish line multiple times for The Canterbury Racing Club version 2017!
Why are we required to pay so much, when we don't get any input on policy decisions? Last year was not fun for the group, and we had no meaningful experience. This is because the same couple of people insist on a two-horse system, against the wishes of many of us who want to purchase one good horse instead of 2 ho-hum horses. I think if you want people's money, you need to listen to what THEY want, too.
I can't give over $200 to people who have no accountability. The club is a nice idea, if there is some accountability for how the money is spent. If accountability is added, I would consider staying. I don't mind a small shortfall, but someone who causes me to lose most of what I put in, can't expect me to keep doing it without some changes.
Also, an inaccurate audit is unacceptable.
I'll take the last and leave the rest for another response: I agree and it was my error alone. I rushed it to get 2017 open for renewal and I missed something, though the final number is correct.

Unquestionably, the most important gasket you will find in your car would be the Lexus Ls400 cylinder head gasket. The cylinder head gasket is stuck in between an internal combustion engine's cylinder heads and the engine block. For a variety of important factors, this gasket affords you with the most essential sealing application in the engine of your own Lexus Ls400.
The Lexus Ls400 cylinder head gasket is there to assure that your cylinders are functioning on maximum compression; it also prevents the leakage of engine oil, water and coolant, and other such unfamiliar substances and materials into your cylinders. Should coolant and water be allowed to leak or seep inside the cylinders of your Lexus Ls400, steam shall be produced by the exhaust, triggering possibly permanent ruin to the catalytic converter as well as the cylinders themselves. If your cylinder head gasket is cracked, compression may just be compromised, resulting in the engine to lose drive and run quite roughly. At its most awful, damage to the gasket could cause unnecessarily-high engine temperatures, at some point leading to total and complete engine failure, in case you leave the situation unchecked.
On this site, we offer no less than the most capable Lexus Ls400 cylinder head gasket from such reputable manufacturers, for instance, Corteco, OE Aftermarket, and Beck Arnley-just the tip of the iceberg in the register of brand names we have in inventory; and in spite of the top notch quality of our head gaskets, you'll be pleased to see that they all come at the lowest prices-why, that's just how we do business right here on Parts Train.

Q: angularjs ng-repeat list not updated when element is added/removed There is a list of users retrieved from a rest api. Here is the template

    Create User

                 {[{user.first_name}]} {[{user.last_name}]}

The JS:
function UserController($scope, User, Group){
    $scope.users = User.query();

    $scope.createUser = function(){

        //$scope.users = null;
        //$scope.users.pop();
        //$scope.users.push(new User({id:'5'}));

        console.log($scope.users);
    }
}

The service: http://dpaste.com/1065440/
All users a retrieved and listed correctly. The problem is that I cannot manipulate the rendered list at all. No matter what I do push, pop or set to null. The list does not change in the template. However the last log statement shows the changes, it prints e.g. NULL when the users array is set to null.
Any ideas where the problem is?

A: The object you push into the array should be an instance of User
function UserController($scope, User){

    $scope.users = User.query();

    $scope.createUser = function(){
        $scope.users.push(new User({first_name:'Bob', last_name: 'Schmitt'}));
    }
}

So, use new User({})
From our conversation, it seems the problem was in the routing. The same outer controller was assigned to the partial that was being loaded in the ng-view. Removing ng:controller="UserController" and moving the createUser button to the partial would solve the problem, but if there's really a need to call the createUser method from outside of ng-view, then all the data related to it will need to be in the outer controller. So, you can keep your outer controller as it is, and change your route to use an empty placeholder controller.

A: make sure createUser is being called. IE ng-click or something.
<button type="button" ng-click="createUser()">Create User</button>

Your push function looks correct, but your binding in html looks wrong. It should be double curly brackets.

    {{user.first_name}} {{user.last_name}}

Added Example I've used previously on adding object.

        <button ng-click="add()" >Add</button>

{{test.name}}

$scope.tests = {};

$scope.add = function() {
   var newTest = {name: 'Test Message'};

   $scope.tests.push(newTest);
};

The answer has been right beneath our feet this whole time. And what a bad rap this thing gets. It's considered by some, unclean, messy, and foul-smelling. It can be synonymous to vile, obscene, naughty or unscrupulous. Generally, when the word comes up in conversation it has a negative connotation. Dirt. Dirty. Soiled. But this thing to which I refer holds the secret to life and possibly the solution to global climate change and world hunger.
It's time to bring good vibes to dirt. But not just any dirt, alive dirt. In my master gardener training, the instructors were quick to correct us when we referred to soil as dirt. Dirt is dead, they would tell us. At the time, that sounded so Nietzsche'esque, but now I understand. Humans kill soil, depleting all its essential elements rendering it dirt. Industrial agriculture kills soil. Soil is alive. Layers of life and abundance exist within the pockets of oxygen, groupings of particles, and active organisms. To me, its scent is of life and earth. Soil gives life and heals the planet. I am enamored with soil.
And soil will help feed the world, if we give it a chance to work its magic and if we relieve it of the toxic synthetic chemical inputs (think petrochemicals – pesticides). This is why organic farmers should be worshipped and supported, because they are out there creating healthy soil which in turn creates biodiversity that leads to healthy plants that feed the world. Whereas agrochemical companies like Monsanto, Bayer, Dow, and Syngenta are killing soil, turning it into dirt. They are destroying biodiversity and causing great harm to people and the planet.
With results like reversing climate change, feeding the world, improving yields, nurturing biodiversity and creating drought-resistant soil, could regenerative organic agriculture be the silver bullet to the world's major problems and impending crises?
Watch the 17-minute documentary to learn more about the issues of industrial agriculture, the myriad of ways it creates greenhouse gas emissions, and how regenerative organic agriculture solves critical issues.
Synthetic fertilizers used by industrial agriculture are creating dead zones and most fertilizers are not taken up by plants.
Methane coming from factory farms is a big problem in the form of greenhouse gases.
Long distance transportation of food results in 50% waste.
900,000 small farmers are growing the majority of the food on only 25% of the land.
Small-scale farmers have the capability of sequestering 100% of current carbon dioxide emission and even begin to draw down excesses.
Regenerative Organic Agriculture can build the soil to absorb carbon by working with the cycle of nature and create healthy soil, healthy food, and healthy people.
Mother Nature provides us with the solution: green plants and photosynthesis – green plants take carbon dioxide out of the air and with water and sunlight make simple sugars eventually seeping those into the soil for all the beneficial microbes that live around the roots of the plant.
By using cover crops, crop rotations, no-till, and compost, the microorganisms hold the carbon until it becomes part of their molecular structure thus giving it lasting power in the soil.
Photosynthesis and healthy soil biology create healthier plants, which sustains them during drastic weather changes, like drought, because organic soil holds moisture like a sponge.
Most of the energy put into the chemical growing system is petroleum-based (pesticides and synthetic fertilizers), whereas regenerative organic agriculture uses 45% less energy.
This cool animated video details how soil sequesters carbon.
"As the topic of soil becomes more prominent in these ongoing environmental discussions, the food producing capacity of soil is ultimately reduced to yields. Yields, yet again, overshadow the nutritional benefits of crops grown from healthy and balanced soil. It is in this yearly anticipation for more crop and more profit that allows so many producers to direct their focus on "feeding the plant" rather than "growing the soil." When that trendy nitrogen fertilizer improved the yield by 17% last year but only 7% this year, substantial soil degradation occurred in only one growing season. As it degrades, the volume of micro and macro biology in the soil disappear or go dormant, leaving behind bacterial colonies which select for weeds and leave plants vulnerable to a host of diseases and moisture issues. The current solution in commercial agriculture is a petrochemical adrenaline shot to a barely living biological system. Western philosophy 101: Sterilize and bottle feed. The dust bowl of the 1930s is a national example of soil degradation's wide-spread effects.
The way forward is to select for a healthy soil biology full of all the bacteria, fungi, protozoa, nematodes, arthropods, and the macro animals from bats to bears. Massive monocultures are another aspect of imbalanced soil biology that needs to evolve. High intensity grazing can support crop production in a most environmentally effective manner, because biological reality is that plants and animals co-exist for many reasons. Animals – be they wildlife, rescued on a farm sanctuary, or otherwise, help to rehab problem pastures simply by eating. The few days of poop, hoof compaction, bugs, and then months-long respite is part of the remediation to fertile land.
This year, I have had the enlightening opportunity to work under the direction of soil scientist Scott Goode, the head gardener at the Food Security garden of Jackson County Master Gardener Association through OSU extension. Goode's focus is on soil ecology and allowing soil biology to do the longterm heavy lifting through no-till practices and by using nonpetroleum-based inputs and tools like the broadfork. These low tech / high result practices support the vital layers of soil, each of which creates habitat for essential microorganisms.
Goode's techniques using no-till, compost, cover crops, pollinator plants, and beetle banks support biodiversity and healthy plant life ultimately eliminating weeds while improving water retention, yield, and nutrient-dense plants. Plus, the bees like it. Through Goode's work, teaching and guiding others, he is redefining food production and building a guild of broad fork crusaders who understand that acroecology is taking traditional farming practices into the future.
Doesn't working with instead of against nature's inherent wisdom just make more sense?
A renewed hope and a visual of something glowing and bright at the end of the tunnel inspired me to tackle days 17 & 18 with the enthusiasm of a puppy in a dog park. For two nights (day 16 & 17) I ate a snack about 9:00 pm to ward off hunger at bedtime. Both days we ate dinner early (around 4:30-5:00), and I feared hunger at night. I want to explain, because I know snacking is a luxury afforded people who live with hunger. But because I've had a few nights along this journey that I went to bed hungry and because I really really despise that feeling, I chose to take care of myself above and beyond proving a point. For anyone who has ever gone to bed hungry, you know how depressing and anxiety-provoking that feeling can be. It lends itself to an endless string of thoughts that unravel around the first light of day. Going to bed hungry, long, painful hours of suffering with no sleep, and getting out of bed hungry are… depressing. This experience is difficult enough. I don't need to compound the semi-permanent layer of melancholy that comes with reading and writing all day about people who are suffering with anxious and sad, sleepless, nights. There you have it. Self care. Very important. The end.
Dinner today was a fresh, organic salad using gorgeous lettuce and beautiful tomatoes from my garden. I *heart* growing food.
You dirty, dirty girl… excellent post! Great info.

"Mr. Holmes" Misses His Mark
chrisreedfilm July 22, 2015 July 22, 2015 movie reviews
Mr. Holmes (Bill Condon, 2015)
On a recent episode of WNYC's Studio 360, actor Ian McKellen (best known, to mainstream audiences, for his roles as Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings series and Magneto in the X-Men films, but also a very accomplished stage actor) stated that, ever since working with director Bill Condon on Gods and Monsters, he has always been prepared to say "yes" to anything that Condon might propose. And so we now find him starring as an aged (over 90!) Sherlock Holmes in the director's new project. One can certainly understand McKellen's attraction to the part – it's such an iconic character, and what actor wouldn't relish the opportunity to portray Holmes as his vaunted powers of deduction are fading? – and he most certainly does shine. It's a shame that the movie, itself, however, is not better. Perhaps it's Condon's experience working on the final two Twilight films that have reduced his appreciation for complexity, or maybe the terrific Gods and Monsters was a one-off. Who knows? What we do know is that while Mr. Holmes offers a wonderful showcase for McKellen, it doesn't offer much else.
Which is too bad, as the premise offers such promise. We meet Holmes in 1947, as he returns from a trip to Japan, where he had hoped to discover a cure for his memory loss. Imagine Holmes – the great detective – unable to hold on to the simplest of details, such as the names of the people he knows! He returns to his estate, to which he retired after World War I, after a tragic end to what would be his final case left him traumatized. Now he just takes cares of his bees, and is a burden to his housekeeper, Mrs. Munro – played by the usually reliable Laura Linney (Hyde Park on Hudson), who here, unlike her co-star, does not, sadly, shine – who wishes she didn't have to play nursemaid on her meager salary. But she has a young son – played by the excellent newcomer Milo Parker – and the boy's interest in what the famous, if decrepit, sleuth has to teach him provides a way in (or back) into Holmes's memories, allowing the old man to finally solve the one mystery that eluded him. As I said, it's a great premise.
Unfortunately, the story is told in an extremely heavy-handed fashion, with the director constantly underlining every single emotional beat. The flashbacks are clunky, and we see the truth of the failed case long before Holmes does. What works, however, is the marvelous interplay between the detective and his apprentice, and some great surprises lurk inside that storyline. I wouldn't call it a complete wash, then – and fans of McKellen should enjoy – but it so often painfully misses its mark that we can't help but regret the film that might have been.

The National Association of Minority Automobile Dealers is calling on manufacturers to award a minimum of 15 percent of their dealerships to ethnic minority dealers and warned the Chrysler group and Volkswagen of America Inc. that they could become boycott targets.
"DaimlerChrysler and Volkswagen-Audi, you have to do better," said NAMAD Chairman Steve Harrell during the group's Issues Forum.
"We are officially putting you on notice that your two companies are being targeted for a national information campaign in the ethnic minority communities, and this campaign is a prelude to a boycott of your products."
Sheila Vaden-Williams, the group's president, said the two companies were being singled out because the Chrysler group has the lowest percentage of minority-owned dealerships among the domestic manufacturers, and VW's Audi division has the lowest among the imports.
According to NAMAD, ethnic minorities own 5.22 percent of the nation's new-car dealerships; Audi is at 1.92 percent, and the Chrysler group - Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep - is at 3.29 percent.
The ethnic minorities included in the percentages are black, Hispanic, Asian-American and Native American.
Vaden-Williams said the group has not imposed a deadline on either of the companies but would like to open a dialogue.
Joe Folz,VW executive director of public affairs and the company's general counsel, said the company has been working on diversity issues and is making progress but acknowledged that things have not moved as fast as NAMAD would like.
"We've had a great relationship with Sheila and Steve, and we have a great deal of respect for the work NAMAD is doing," said Folz, who, along with Gerd Klauss, Volkswagen of America CEO, attended NAMAD's reception Sunday night.
"We're coming to the absolute critical importance of dealer diversity later than many of our competitors but no less enthusiastically."
In the meantime, NAMAD has created minority dealer census information that it plans to distribute at minority dealerships and churches starting in the next two weeks, Vaden-Williams said, "so they can make informed decisions about supporting companies that support us."

Stalin And Hitler: Similarities And Differences
Stalin and Hitler emerged at the time when political and economic instability had crippled the USSR and Germany. They began making improvements which encouraged their people to believe that prosperous times await them. This notion would unfortunately turn out as an illusion. Both figures would eventually rule by decree. Despite treading on different paths of ruling, both figures still find some commonalities.
Two prominent differences would certainly come to mind when distinguishing Stalin from Hitler. The first notable difference lies in the fact that both men had reigned over different territories. Stalin was the dictator of the USSR whereas Hitler was the 'Führer', leader in other words, of Nazi Germany (McAleavy, 2002). Another major difference which separates both political figures is the ideologies which they embraced. Stalin was rooted to the principles of Communism (Waugh, 2001). This philosophy dictates that everyone in a society are equal and that all aspects of life are controlled by the state (Waugh, 2001). Unlike his counterpart, Hitler practiced Nazism during his tenure as Nazi Germany's totalitarian (Waugh, 2001). Nazism asserts that everyone has unconditionally pledged their loyalty to the 'Führer' and that the Aryan race was superior to all other races (Waugh, 2001). Such contrasting beliefs would eventually play an integral role in discerning both men.
Both tyrants were also segregated by their dissimilar

Compare And Contrast Stalin And Eisenhower
Eisenhower can easily be compared in how different they were socially. Those differences can easily be found in the beliefs each man held for their country. Stalin believed in a society of communism where everyone would be given equal amounts of everything, and the government authority would control the community. He preached that in order to make communism work efficiently, society would have to forcefully go through a change from capitalism to communism ("Joseph Stalin"). Stalin not only found motivation in his efforts, but he created a goal to expand the use of communism around the world ("Cold War History").
Joseph Stalin Propaganda
Two men named Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin were the faces of totalitarian dictators. These two men wanted to have control of everyone and everything and they did their job to accomplish it. Although Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin ruled two totally different countries, they had the same thoughts on how to rule their countries, which was using killing tactics, propaganda, and wanting their country to be the biggest and strongest there is. While Democracies prefer people to have an input on things, a totalitarian system does not.
Marshall Plan Dbq
Source A presents the American response to the Marshall Plan, including the motivation for its creation being to revive a working economy in the world to prevent chaos, loss of peace and an unbalanced economy. Source B then presents the Soviet response to the Marshall Plan, suggesting that it was a clear threat to its influence in Eastern Europe and it was an attempt to spread their economic and political control. Clearly the superpowers had totally different responses to the creation of the Marshall Plan, and the sources express these responses from both sides in great
Communism In The Cold War Essay
While Truman, Eisenhower, and Kennedy all had the same same Cold War intention of ending communism, their ways of achieving their goal were different. The Cold War was an angry dispute between the United States and the Soviet Union about whether we should spread or contain communism (Ayres 817). According to Edward Ayres in American Anthem: Reconstruction to the Present all three Presidents used some form of Economic Aid, how we help other countries financially; Military Aid, how we help other countries' militaries; and finally, Military Use, how we utilise our military (Ayres 817).
Hitler's Final Solution Dbq
Similar to the middle class, Hitler also blamed the Jews for many of the problems that occurred at the time. As a result, the German's supported the idea of the Final Solution. The Final Solution was the Nazi's attempt to create the perfect Aryan race by annihilating the Jews. Through Hitler's attempts to create a unified, perfect Aryan race by exterminating the common enemy, Jews, he was supported by the German's. In document three, we see how appealing Hitler was in his speeches.
Similarities Between Hitler And Trujillo
There are numerous similarities and differences on the two dictators' effect of the culture, people, and country, but the question is: which dictator was the worst? Adolf Hitler is one of the world's most known dictators who was Führer of Germany from 1934
How Did Nikita Khrushchev Come To Power
The Secret Speech 'sparked considerable liberalization in Poland and Hungary'. People in Europe saw de-Stalinization as a sign that they could have greater freedom from the Soviet Union and Communism in general and became increasingly violent. The Soviets gave pressure to have the more moderate Nagy put to power yet executed him when he gave in to demands to introduce multi-party democracy and to leave the Warsaw Pact. This shows the inconsistency of Khrushchev's policies and actions.

How Is Macbeth Similar To Hitler
Macbeth was even described as being brave, and a gentleman by King Duncan. " Like valor's minion carved out his passage, Till he faced the slave; Which ne 'er shook hands, nor bade farewell to him, Till he unseamed him from the nave to th ' chops," (act1 scene2 19-20). This portrays Macbeth as being a good soldier and loyal to the throne. In which he was then named the Thane of Cawdor for his faithfulness and bravery. Hitler in a way is quite similar to this.
Religion In Fahrenheit 451
I can see a lot of this video relating to Fahrenheit 451. From the burning of the books, to the vision of a perfect race, all of it. It all started with a perfect image of society. Adolf Hitler, was the person to lead this whole thing. He was the leader of the Nazi party, and left the people of Germany with a perfect image of society.
How Did The American Revolution Changed Russian Society
Therefore, his paranoia was important in generating more rapid change than anyone had thought possible. As an individual, Khrushchev managed to reverse the social changes of Stalin that had repressed Russia. Oxley's convincing argument that de-Stalinization would enable Russia to "set a new course" to reform "industry and agriculture" shows how Khrushchev created a backlash against Stalin to ease the repression that was stunting Russia, both nationally and internationally. Khrushchev's secret speech enabled him to distance himself from Stalin's terror and drive reform. Khrushchev was pushed to this by his political opposition Malenkov, therefore opposition is a more important factor than the individual in de-Stalinization.
Compare And Contrast Essay On Hitler Vs. Churchill

a creative take on the common calendar
by artist susanna hertrich (1st spotted at artruby):
Chrono-Shredder celebrates remorse for the lost moment. It is a poetic machine with functions similar to those of a calendar and a clock: The device continuously shreds every single day, minute after minute, hour after hour. A pulse is given every 3 minutes, after 24 hours a complete day has been destroyed. Continuously, the tattered remains of the past pile up under the device as time passes by.
hertrich's chrono-shredder emphasizes how precious time really is. once it's gone, you can't recover or recreate it. also, even though every second has a short shelf life, it doesn't mean that you should easily forget them once they're gone. otherwise, you might have a big emotional/physical/mental/spiritual mess that's begging your attention. best to process your experiences as much as you can, and as often as necessary, to not only avoid that buildup, but to also give you a better sense of direction moving forward.

the relationship between anxiety and performance
written by scott stossel; adapted from his book my age of anxiety for hbr:
I choked.
It was just a middle-school tennis match against a manifestly worse player, but I became overwhelmed with anxiety. Before we'd started, the most important thing was to win. But during the match, I just wanted to get off the court fast. Burping uncontrollably, afraid of throwing up, I hit balls out. I hit them into the net. I double-faulted. And I lost 6-1, 6-0. After shaking hands and running off the court, I felt immediate relief. My distended stomach settled. My anxiety relented. And then self-loathing took over. This was a challenge match for a lower-ladder JV position. The stakes were low, but to me they felt existentially high. I'd lost to the overweight and oleaginous Paul (not his real name), and the result was there on the score sheet, and on the ladder hanging on the locker room wall, for all to see.
This sort of thing—purposely losing matches to escape intolerable anxiety—happened dozens of times throughout my school sports career. My coaches were baffled. How could I look so skillful in practice, they wondered, and yet so rarely win a significant match?
Choking when you're expected to perform—whether you're squaring off in tennis or vying for resources or key accounts or a desirable role at work—is actually surprisingly common. It happens with some regularity to probably around one-fifth of the population. Since this response is at least partly hardwired (more on that later), it's not something you tend to outgrow as you mature and gain perspective. Thirty years after that match with Paul, I still struggle with it. A lot.
Who chokes, and why?
People who choke can be peak performers in some settings, trembling mice in others. The list of elite athletes who have choked spectacularly is extensive. Greg Norman, the Australian golfer, became completely unglued at the 1996 Masters, nervously frittering away a seemingly insurmountable lead over the final few holes. Jana Novotná, the Czech tennis star, was five points away from winning Wimbledon in 1993 when she disintegrated under pressure and blew a huge lead over Steffi Graf. And then there's Roberto Duran, who famously lost his world welterweight championship to Sugar Ray Leonard. With sixteen seconds left in the eighth round—and millions of dollars on the line—Duran turned to the referee, raised his hands in surrender, and pleaded, "No más, no más [No more, no more]." Until that moment, Duran appeared to be invincible. Since then, he's been widely considered one of the greatest quitters and cowards in sports history.
That may sound harsh, but just about the worst epithet one can sling at an athlete—worse, in some ways, than "cheater"—is "choker." To choke is to wilt under pressure, to fail to perform at the moment of greatest importance. A technical definition, as laid out by Sian Beilock, a University of Chicago cognitive psychologist who specializes in the topic, is "worse performance than expected given what a performer is capable of doing and what this performer has done in the past."
In any performance arena, from sports to the military to the workplace, choking is produced by anxiety and, ipso facto, viewed as an absence of fortitude, a sign of weakness.
Of course, it's not that simple.
Research shows a strong correlation between your genetically conferred physiology and how likely you are to crack under stress. For instance, a person's allotment of neuropeptide Y (NPY), a neurotransmitter in the brain that regulates stress responses, among other things, is relatively fixed from birth, more a function of heredity than of learning. People high in NPY tend to be unusually psychologically resilient and resistant to breaking down in high-pressure situations.
But that said, there's also an element of "nurture" at work here. Psychological resilience is a trait that can be taught; the Pentagon is spending millions trying to figure out how to do that better. It's possible that those who thrive under pressure have learned to be resilient—that their high levels of NPY are the product of their training or their upbringing.
According to the explicit monitoring theory of choking, derived from recent findings in cognitive psychology and neuroscience, performance falters when you concentrate too much attention on it. This runs counter to all the standard bromides about how the quality of your performance is tied to the intensity of your focus. But what seems to matter is the type of focus you have. As Beilock puts it, actively worrying about screwing up makes you more likely to screw up.
To achieve optimal performance—what some psychologists call flow—parts of your brain should be on automatic pilot, not actively thinking about (or "explicitly monitoring") what you are doing. Beilock has found that she can dramatically improve athletes' performance, at least in experiments, by getting them to focus on something other than the mechanics of their stroke or swing. Having them recite a poem or sing a song in their heads, distracting their conscious attention from the physical task, can rapidly improve performance. Chronic chokers—especially those who are clinically anxious—are too distracted from the task at hand by a relentless interior monologue of self-doubt: Am I doing this right? Do I look stupid? What if I make a fool of myself? Can people see me trembling? Can they hear my voice quavering? Am I going to lose my job?
When you look at brain scans of athletes pre- or midchoke, says sports psychologist Bradley Hatfield, you see a neural "traffic jam" of worry and self-monitoring. Brain scans of nonchokers, however—the Tom Bradys and Peyton Mannings of the world, who exude grace under pressure—reveal neural activity that is "efficient and streamlined," using only those parts of the brain relevant to strong performance.
Does that mean those of us whose bodies are set to quiver in response to the mildest perturbances are doomed to choke any time the pressure is on? Not necessarily. Because when you begin to untangle the relationship between anxiety and performance, it turns out to be very complex. It's possible to be simultaneously anxious and effective.
Take, for example, Bill Russell, a Hall of Fame basketball player who won eleven championships with the Boston Celtics (the most by anyone in any major American sport, ever). He was selected to the NBA All-Star team twelve times and was voted the league's most valuable player five times. He is generally acknowledged to be the greatest defender and all-around winner of his era, if not of all time. No one would question Russell's toughness or his championship qualities or his courage. And yet, according to one tabulation, he vomited from anxiety before 1,128 of his games between 1956 and 1969. His teammate John Havlicek told the writer George Plimpton in 1968, "It's a welcome sound, too, because it means he's keyed up for the game and around the locker room we grin and say, 'Man, we're going to be all right tonight.'"
Like someone with an anxiety disorder, Russell had to contend with nerves that wreaked havoc with his stomach. But a crucial difference between Russell and the typical anxiety patient (aside, of course, from Russell's preternatural athleticism) was the positive correlation between his anxiety and his performance. When Russell stopped throwing up for a stretch at the end of the 1963 season, he suffered through one of the worst slumps of his career. For him, a nervous stomach correlated with effective, even enhanced, performance.
How much anxiety is too much?
At some level, it's normal—adaptive even—to be anxious in our postindustrial era of pervasive uncertainty, where social and economic structures are undergoing continuous disruption and professional roles are constantly changing. According to Charles Darwin (who himself suffered from crippling agoraphobia), species that "fear rightly" increase their chances of survival. We anxious people are less likely to remove ourselves from the gene pool by, say, becoming fighter pilots.
An influential study conducted a hundred years ago by two Harvard psychologists, Robert M. Yerkes and John Dillingham Dodson, demonstrated that moderate levels of anxiety improve performance in humans and animals: too much anxiety, obviously, impairs performance, but so does too little. Their findings have been experimentally demonstrated in both animals and humans many times since then.
"Without anxiety, little would be accomplished," David Barlow, founder of the Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders at Boston University, has written. "The performance of athletes, entertainers, executives, artisans, and students would suffer; creativity would diminish; crops might not be planted. And we would all achieve that idyllic state long sought after in our fast-paced society of whiling away our lives under a shade tree. This would be as deadly for the species as nuclear war."
So how do you find the right balance? How do you get yourself into the performance zone where anxiety is beneficial? That's a really tough question. For me, years of medication and intensive therapy have (sometimes, somewhat) taken the physical edge off my nerves so I could focus on trying to do well, not on removing myself from the center of attention as quickly as possible. For those who choke during presentations to board members or pitches to clients, for example, but probably aren't what you'd call clinically anxious, the best approach may be one akin to what Beilock has athletes do in her experiments: redirecting your mind, in the moment, to something other than how you're comporting yourself, so you can allow the skills and knowhow you've worked so hard to acquire to automatically kick into gear and carry you through. Your focus should not be on worrying about outcomes or consequences or on how you're being perceived but simply on the task at hand. Prepare thoroughly (but not too obsessively) in advance; then stay in the moment. If you're feeling anxious, breathe from your diaphragm in order to keep your sympathetic nervous system from revving up too much. And remember that it can be good to be keyed up: the right amount of nervousness will enhance your performance.
A psychologist walked around a room while teaching stress management to an audience. As she raised a glass of water, everyone expected they'd be asked the "half empty or half full" question. Instead, with a smile on her face she inquired, "How heavy is this glass of water?" The answers called out ranged from 8oz to 20 oz. She replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my arm. If I hold it for a day, my arm will feel numb and paralyzed. In each case, the weight of the glass doesn't change, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes." She continued, "The stress and worries in life are like that glass of water. Think about them for a while and nothing happens. Think about them for a big longer and they begin to hurt. And if you think about them all day long, you will feel paralyzed – incapable of doing anything." Always remember to put the glass down.

here's a fresh way to look at a glass of water (and yourself)
The very meaninglessness of life forces a man to create his own meaning. Children, of course, begin life with an untarnished sense of wonder, a capacity to experience total joy at something as simple as the greenness of a leaf; but as they grow older, the awareness of death and decay begins to impinge on their consciousness and subtly erode their joie de vivre, their idealism – and their assumption of immortality. As a child matures, he sees death and pain everywhere about him, and begins to lose faith in the ultimate goodness of man. But if he's reasonably strong – and lucky – he can emerge from this twilight of the soul into a rebirth of life's élan. Both because of and in spite of his awareness of the meaninglessness of life, he can forge a fresh sense of purpose and affirmation. He may not recapture the same pure sense of wonder he was born with, but he can shape something far more enduring and sustaining. The most terrifying fact about the universe is not that it is hostile but that it is indifferent; but if we can come to terms with this indifference and accept the challenges of life within the boundaries of death – however mutable man may be able to make them – our existence as a species can have genuine meaning and fulfillment. However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light.

how to train your brain to see what others don't
written by carolyn gregoire for huffpost:
Charles Darwin had one of the greatest "aha!" moments in all of history when writing his magnum opus On The Origin of Species. After reading a book written 40 years earlier on population growth and resource competition, Darwin immediately saw the connection to the variation among species that he had observed in the Galapagos — and voila, the theory of natural selection was born.
"Darwin reads this book and says, 'Wow, that's it!' That exemplifies the 'aha!' of getting the new piece of information, and seeing the implication and seeing how it fits," cognitive psychologist Gary Klein, author of Seeing What Others Don't: The Remarkable Ways We Gain Insights, tells The Huffington Post. "That was an unexpected shift in his understanding."
These epiphanies and flashes of sudden clarity tend to come at the most unexpected moments. So do we have any control over these insights, and is there a way to train the brain to become more attuned to them? Insights may be unexpected, but we can actually teach ourselves to see connections that others may never notice.
"An insight is an unexpected shift in the way we understand things," says Klein. "It comes without warning. It's not something that we think is going to happen and that's why it's unexpected. It feels like a gift and in fact it is."
Here are five things you should know about insight — and ways to bring more "aha!" moments into your life.
Be curious.
Being curious is the best way to become more insightful, says Klein, and a lack of insight often comes from being in a passive and disinterested state of mind.
"Curiosity is another engine of insight," says Klein. "People who get insights see something that's a little bit off, and instead of ignoring it, they're curious about it. Curiosity keeps our mind engaged to work out the implications."
Let your mind wander.
A 2012 psychological study found that daydreaming — passive though it may seem — actually involves a very active brain state, which is why the wandering mind can sometimes stumble upon brilliant insights and sudden connections. The researchers credit this phenomenon to the fact that daydreaming correlates with our ability to recall information in the face of distractions. Recent neuroscience research has also found that daydreaming involves the same brain processes involved in imagination and creativity.
"I worry about people who spend all their empty time when they're not in conversations listening to music or podcasts or things like that, and not leaving any space to just daydream," says Klein.
Pay attention to coincidences.
"Be more alert to anomalies," Klein says, "rather than quickly explaining them away and staying in your comfort zone."
We tend to ignore coincidences or not think much of them, because they're often meaningless, says Klein. But looking for coincidences is a powerful way to make surprising connections.
"There's a belief that correlation doesn't imply causality, which is true. People see all sorts of correlations in coincides that turn out to be spurious, so they get a bad reputation," Klein says. "But in my work I find that a lot of insights are fed by people spotting coincidences and making assumptions, and instead of just saying 'It must be true,' doing to follow-up work to find out if it's true."
Look closely at contradictions.
Insights can occur when we encounter ideas that don't make sense to us.
Questioning contradictions is another path to epiphanies. Whereas curiosity makes us wonder, contradiction causes us to doubt — and it can be another powerful way to gain insights.
"Our tendency when we hit a contradiction that involves things we believe we understand well is to say, 'Well, that must an anomaly.' We have a marvelous set of techniques for explaining away inconvenient facts," says Klein. "The contradiction only leads to an insight when people take it seriously enough to explore it a bit."
Act on your insights.
Daydreaming isn't the only state of mind that can lead to insights.
"I've found a number of examples where people were under tremendous pressure and came up with marvelous insights," says Klein. "We should embrace urgency."
This urgency forces people to look at things they'd otherwise ignore (what Klein refers to as "creative desperation"), and when they gain an insight, encourages them to act on it right away. This is frequently how chess grand masters try an unusual move that ends up being successful and winning the game for them.
"The problem with too many organizations is that they don't feel any pressure to act on the insights they've had," says Klein. "They act like they have all the time in the world and then they end up going out of business."

We grow, including the intellectual and the spiritual, without being deeply aware of it. In fact, some periods of our growth are so confusing that we don't even recognize that growth is what is happening. We may feel hostile or angry or weepy and hysterical, or we may feel depressed. It would never occur to us, unless we stumbled on a book or person who explained it to us, that we were in fact in the process of change, of actually becoming larger, spiritually, than we were before. Whenever we grow, we tend to feel it, as a young seed must feel the weight and inertia of the earth as it seeks to break out of its shell on its way to becoming a plant. Often the feeling is anything but pleasant. But what is most unpleasant is the not knowing what is happening. I remember the waves of anxiety that used to engulf me at different periods in my life, always manifesting itself in physical disorders (sleeplessness, for instance) and how frightened I was because I did not understand how this was possible.
With age and experience, you will be happy to know, growth becomes a conscious, recognized process. Those long periods when something inside ourselves seems to be waiting, holding its breath, unsure about what the next step should be, eventually become the periods we wait for, for it is in those periods that we realize we are being prepared for the next phase of our life and, in all probability, a new level of the personality is about to be revealed.

7 questions you are too scared to ask
08/20/13 — 1 Comment
introspection can be a scary thing sometimes. people are afraid of what they'll find in their subconscious. other times, we know our problems (maybe even the answers) but it's easier to not think about them. whatever the reasoning, it's always best to work out our difficulties in order to progress.
marc chernoff of marc and angel hack life poses some great questions to help us assess where we are right now and what we can do to move forward. check them out below:
1. Based on my daily routines and actions, where can I expect to be in five years?
This is your life story and you are the only author. If you're feeling like you've been stuck in the same setting for too long, it's time to start writing a new chapter of your life. The plot structure is simple: Doing nothing gets you nothing. Doing the wrong things gets you the wrong things. Doing the same things gets you the same things. Your story only changes when you make changes.
If you have an idea about what you want the next chapter of your life to look like, you have to DO things that support this idea. An idea, after all, isn't going to do anything for you until you do something productive with it. In fact, as long as that great idea is just sitting around in your head it's probably doing far more harm than good.
Your subconscious mind knows you're procrastinating on something that's important to you. The necessary work that you keep postponing causes stress, anxiety, fear, and usually more procrastination – a vicious cycle that continues to worsen until you interrupt it with ACTION.
Progress in life is always measured by the fact that you've taken new action. If there's no new action, you haven't truly made any progress.
2. Are the people around me helping me or hurting me?
A big part of who you become in life has to do with who you choose to surround yourself with. And as you know, it is better to be alone than in bad company. You simply cannot expect to live a positive, fulfilling life if you surround yourself with negative people.
Distancing yourself from these people is never easy, but it's a lot harder when they happen to be close friends or family members. As hard as it may be, it's something you need to address. To a certain degree, luck controls who walks into your life, especially as it relates to your family and childhood friends, but you decide who you spend the majority of your time with.
If someone close to you is truly draining you, be honest about it. Be kind, but communicate your point of view. Tell them you love them, and that you want to be around them, but you need their help. Remember, most problems, big and small, within a family and close friends, start with bad communication. If this other person is draining you, and you haven't talked about it, they may not even know.
At the end of the day, you should surround yourself with people who make you a better person and distance yourself those who don't. (Read The How of Happiness .)
3. How have I been draining my own happiness?
In life, you become what you repeatedly think about. If your thoughts and behaviors aren't helping you, they're hurting you. Other people and outside events can influence you, but happiness is ultimately an inside job. You have to disconnect external influences and achievements from happiness and give yourself permission to be happy, in each moment, without the need for anything more.
This isn't to say that you should be complacent. You can still set goals, work hard, interact with others, and grow, but you must learn to indulge joyously in the journey, not the destination.
What you need to realize is that all you ever truly have are your thoughts towards the present moment. Every moment is very similar; the details are just details. If you say something like, "If I had more than what I have now, I would be happier," you are sadly mistaken. Because if you are not at all happy with what you have now, you will not be any happier if it were doubled. It's just more of the same.
The bottom line is that you have everything you need to be happy or unhappy right now. It just depends on how you think about it. Will you be grateful for what you have, and find joy in it? Or will concentrate on what you don't have, and never, ever feel like you have enough? The choice is yours to make.
4. What excuses am I making?
As George Washington once said, "It is better to offer no excuse than a bad one."
Truth be told, if you are good at making excuses, you will never be good at anything else. No matter what the obstacles are that you see in front of you, the only thing truly standing between you and what you want is the excuse you keep telling yourself as to why you can't achieve it.
When something is a priority, it gets done. Period. And it's not what we claim are our priorities, but how we spend our time each day that reveals the truth. You can make excuses. You can always try to wait for the perfect moment, the perfect this, the perfect that… but it won't get you anywhere.
To get where you want to go you just have to start DOING. It makes all the difference. Making excuses takes the same amount of time as making progress. (Read The Power of Habit .)
5. What mistakes do I fear most?
As Mahatma Gandhi once said, "Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes."
When you find your path, and you know what needs to be done, you must not be scared. You need to find the courage to make mistakes. Mistakes lead to disappointments and defeat in the short term, but they also teach you what you need to know in the long-term. Mistakes are the tools life uses to show you the way forward.
Someday when you look back over your life you'll realize that nearly all of your worries and anxious fears never came to fruition – they were completely unfounded. So why not wake up and realize this right now. When you look back over the last few years, how many opportunities for joy did you destroy with needless fear about making a mistake? Although there's nothing you can do about these lost joys, there's plenty you can do about the ones that are still to come.
6. How have past rejections lowered my self-confidence?
NOT believing that you CAN is the biggest trap of them all. If you don't know your own greatness is possible, you won't bother attempting anything great. Period.
All too often we let the rejections of our past dictate every move we make thereafter. We literally do not know ourselves to be any better than what some opinionated person or narrow circumstance once told us was true. Of course, this old rejection doesn't mean we aren't good enough; it means the other person or circumstance failed to align with what we have to offer. It means we have more time to improve our thing – to build upon our ideas, to perfect our craft, and indulge deeper in to the work that moves us
Don't let old rejections take up permanent residence in your head. Kick them out on the street. Realize that you sometimes you have to try to do what you think you can't do, so you realize that you actually CAN. And sometimes it takes more than one attempt. If 'Plan A' doesn't work out, don't fret; the alphabet has another 25 letters that would be happy to give you a chance to get it right. The wrong choices usually bring us to the right places, eventually. You just have to believe in your own potential to get there. (Angel and I discuss this in more detail in the "Adversity" and "Relationships" chapters of 1,000 Little Things Happy, Successful People Do Differently.)
7. When did my life fall so far out of balance?
Be diligent and committed to what you're trying to achieve, but also make sure you leave time for pleasure and exploration in other areas of your life as well. It is not enough to succeed at one specific goal or to conquer one particular area of expertise; you also have to take part in the different, beautiful dimensions of your life… while you can, while there's still time.
Lift your head up from your work every now and then and take a long walk, hold hands with your beloved, go fishing, spend time with your friends, swim, bask in the sunlight, try something new, meditate, breathe deep, or sit quietly for a while and contemplate the goodness around you.
In other words, balance yourself – work diligently toward your goals and dreams, but don't ignore every other aspect of your life. Keep your mind fresh, your body active and alive, and your relationships nurtured. Do so, and the things you want most in life will come more naturally.
Life is filled with unanswered questions, but it is the courage to ask enough of the right ones that ultimately leads you to an understanding of yourself and your purpose.
You can spend your life wallowing in fear by avoiding the obvious, or asking negative questions like, "Why me?" Or you can be grateful that you've made it this far – that you're strong enough to breathe, walk and think for yourself – and then ask, "Where do I want to go next?"
We would love to hear your perspective. Please pick one or more of the seven questions above and leave a comment below with your answer.

Q: Not getting response from openfire server through Strophe BOSH object I am new at XMPP, i want to develop an instant messaging application on XMPP. I installed openfire on ubuntu server and then i use Strophe library to create connection object. But when i put JID and password in my application it send request but doesnot receive any  stanza and show "200 OK" status. I use apache2 server and also add new conf file, but atlast it won't work.

A: After 3 days of research, I found the error:
We have to go to /etc/apache2/site-available/ and modify 000-default.conf file and add following line (without double quotes) inside its  tag:
"ProxyPass /http-bind http://jabber.local:7070/http-bind/"
"ProxyPassReverse /http-bind http://jabber.local:7070/http-bind/"
(Note:use your domain name or ip address instead of jabber.local)
Then Edit you javascript file and Make user BOSH url : "ip/http-bind" where ip ip corresponds to corresponding ip address of your remote server.
My mistak was that instead of modifying 000-default.conf file, i create a new conf file including this tag, and this file was not considered by my apache server since how would it know about new file, such a silly mistake, but makes a lot trouble for me.

COLUMBUS, Miss. (AP) — Mississippi state police are investigating the deaths of two inmates in separate jails.
News outlets reported 26-year-old Jefferson Russell Finch died early Friday at Baptist Memorial Hospital in Columbus.
Lowndes County officers found Finch unresponsive in his cell around 5 p.m. Thursday. Coroner Greg Merchant said it appears Finch tried to hang himself. He had been convicted on a methamphetamine charge and was awaiting transfer to state prison.
The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation is reviewing the death.
The agency is also looking at the death of 54-year-old Dale Jerome O'Neal in his cell at the Clay County jail in West Point around 8 a.m. Friday.
O'Neal's cause of death is pending autopsy results. West Point police arrested him March 8 on charges of trespassing and failure to appear in court.
