Tight Contest Expected in Angola's 2022 Election
Antonio Cascais | 24 Aug 2022
Which party will emerge the strongest and consequently win the presidency in Wednesday's election? Observers predict a close race between incumbent Joao Lourenco and opposition leader Adalberto Costa Junior.
The ruling MPLA has governed Angola since independence in 1975
Every day, 23-year-old Joaquim comes to the "Baixa" — the lower region of Angola's capital, Luanda — to look for odd jobs, such as a messenger or load carrier in one of the many stores or warehouses in the area.
"We want a political change: a new government," Joaquim told DW. "Above all, this new government should focus on jobs and education for young people." He is determined to vote for the opposition in Wednesday's elections.
Sofia, an 18-year-old student, agrees with Joaquim. "We hardly get a chance on the job market, and things are also miserable in schools. There should be a lot more training opportunities," Sofia said, adding that what the young people want is finally a new party at the top.
For Valdemar, 29, many young people have lost trust in the long-ruling People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA), led by President Joao Lourenco, the one-term incumbent. He blamed the MPLA for breaking many of its campaign promises.
Supporters of the opposition UNITA party say it's time for change
Youth want change
"Angola is a young country, and Angola's youth want change," Alex Vines, head of the Africa program at Chatham House, told DW.
Vines said Adalberto Costa Junior, the candidate for the largest opposition party, the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA), was very popular in the country's five biggest cities, where the vast majority of people live.
About 14.3 million eligible voters can choose among eight political parties. At stake is the distribution of the 220 seats in the Angolan parliament.
According to Angola's constitution, the leader of the party with the most parliamentary seats will automatically become president of the republic.
Lourenco is seeking a second term but his MPLA party will first have to win more seats
Three main election issues: Jobs, poverty, corruption
The campaign strategists of the eight parties have sought to court the youth vote, mainly focusing on topics such as unemployment, education and vocational training.
There was also a lot of talk about poverty and the best concepts for combating it.
Corruption featured prominently during the campaigns. For example, the opposition accuses the MPLA of using state funds for its election campaign.
Lourenco had made the fight against corruption a central issue in his first election campaign, in 2017.
At the time, he promised to introduce new compliance rules for state-owned companies, especially for the all-important oil industry. In addition, powerful ex-generals were targeted by the Angolan judiciary for corruption, and not even the relatives of his predecessor, the late President Jose Eduardo dos Santos, were spared.
During the election campaign, the main rivals accused each other of "cultivating relations with corrupt people." The ruling MPLA implicitly accused UNITA of having its election campaign financed by the children of Eduardo dos Santos but provided no evidence for this allegation.
On the other hand, UNITA calls Lourenco's anti-corruption measures "cosmetic" to achieve publicity, while the fight against graft continues to be neglected.
Opposition leader Adalberto Costa Junior accuses the government of using state resources in campaigns
The two favorites
Of the eight candidates, only two — Lourenco and Costa Junior — have a real chance of winning.
Incumbent Lourenco, 68, became involved with his party as a youth and worked his way up. He was in the MPLA's politburo for many years, became governor of several inland provinces, and later defense minister.
In 2017, Jose Eduardo dos Santos chose him as his successor.
During the 2022 election campaign, he strictly refused to participate in debates, even with his rival from the UNITA party.
Costa Junior is the son of a former UNITA fighter and he himself has been a member of the movement since he was a teenager. After Angola's independence in 1975, Junior studied electrical engineering in Portugal.
Upon returning to Angola, he became involved in the party, became the party's spokesman, and eventually took over as UNITA president.
"I still attribute the best chances of winning the election to the incumbent," Vines said.
"Lourenco has the combined strength of the MPLA party behind him," Vines said, "which has ruled the country uninterruptedly since independence from Portugal in 1975."
"These state resources — be it money or manpower, in the form of state employees — have been used for decades by the MPLA for its own purposes, including during the election campaign," Mozambican lawyer Borges Nhamirre said.
Despite boasting vast oil and mineral reserves many Angolans still live in poverty
Risk of election-related violence
According to Nhamirre, who just published his research with the Institute for Security Studies (ISS) about the potential for violence, mass rigging could be a trigger.
"The first and most likely scenario is that the MPLA wins the elections by manipulating the electoral and judicial institutions. This could spark a popular uprising that could lead to postelection violence," Nhamirre said, adding in his research that the second, less-likely scenario is a UNITA victory that could lead to some conservative groups within the MPLA refusing to transfer power.
He said there needed to be a transparent election process to prevent violence.
"Let people participate in the counting. Let people observe the elections! Don't just serve them a result they don't know how it came about, like a bad meal prepared in secret," Nhamirre said.

Typically, Secure Socket Layer (SSL) Certificates are created for domains by first generating a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) through Internet Information Services (IIS), sending the request to a known Certification Authority, such as GeoTrust, which generates a corresponding Certificate file for use in conjunction with the CSR, completing the request and securing communications on the domain.
However, IIS does come with the ability to create a 'self-signed' certificate, in which the server generating the CSR also generates the corresponding Certificate file. These are mainly used for testing, development and troubleshooting, as the certificate will only be recognized as valid by the server it is hosted on. Attempting to view the secured domain externally would receive an error that the certificate is not valid, as it has not been approved nor is recognized by a known Certification Authority.
Given the option to either Run or Save the file, choose 'Save'.
For now, let's save the file to the desktop. Click 'Save' again.
Once the download is complete, double-click the icon to begin the installation.
Click 'Next' on the initial window.
Enter your desired Name and Company information, and click 'Next'.
The next screen will provide options for which type of installation you prefer. You can click 'Complete' to install the Diagnostics.
You are now ready to install the diagnostics. Click 'Install'.
When the installer confirms it has completed, click 'Finish'.
Now, we need to get some information from IIS before we can generate the self-signed certificate. Open IIS by navigating to 'Start –> Administrative Tools –> Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager'.
Once IIS is open, expand the Server Name, then click on the 'Web Sites' folder. This will bring up a list of all web sites on the server in the right-hand pane. You will notice that each site has a unique number assigned to it under the 'Identifier' column. This is the number which we need in order to create the self-signed certificate. As you can see, the Identifier for 'example.com' is 957.
Next, we need to open a DOS Prompt. You can do this by navigating to 'Start –> Run', typing 'CMD', and clicking OK.
The 'cd' command stands for Change Directory. Press Enter once the command is typed in, and the prompt will bring you right to the directory, as seen below.
/N: – This specifies the common name of the certificate. The computer name is used if there is no common name specified.
/K: – This specifies the key length of the certificate. The default is length 1024.
/V: – This specifies the amount of time the certificate will be valid for, calculated in days. The default setting is seven days.
/S: – This specifies the Identifier of the site, which we obtained earlier. The default will always be 1, which is the Default Web Site in IIS.
Once you have set the parameters to your preference, enter the command into the DOS prompt, and press Enter. After pressing Enter, the DOS prompt will simply move to the next line.
Now, we can check IIS and verify the certificate is now in place. Using the steps outlined above, navigate back to IIS, right-click on the domain, and choose 'Properties'.
Inside the Properties window, click on the 'Directory Security' tab.
On the Directory Security tab, under the 'Secure Communications' heading, click on the 'View Certificate' button, as it is now enabled.
This windows confirms the certificate has been successfully installed. Note the 'Issued By' field, as typically the issuer would be a known Certification Authority, such as GeoTrust, however here the issuer is 'example.com'. This confirms the certificate is self-signed. Click OK to close the window.
You can now view the site on the server under a secure heading. Again, please note that as the certificate is self-signed, and does not have a matching Root Certificate from a Certification Authority, attempting to view the site under a secure heading from an external location will cause a certificate error. Self-signed certificates should only be used for testing and development, and under no circumstances should be substituted for a CA-approved SSL Certificate for a live, production website.


How fabulous to see fabulous women over 50 being acknowledged at the Oscars. I loved Allison Janney's interview on the red carpet, ahead of the awards ceremony where she acknowledged being a late bloomer, and said how she was excited about the number of great roles coming through for older actresses.
As Allison gained her first Oscar nomination (and win) at the age of 58, she is a symbol of why it is never too late to succeed and excel in your career – and she is certainly not invisible over 50. I loved her as C.J. Cregg in the West Wing – and am thrilled that she now has the recognition she deserves.
Frances McDormand won her second Oscar for her role in Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri at the age of 60.
Both are great actresses , who played really meaty roles. Let's not forget that other actresses over 50 were also nominated…Meryl Streep and Lesley Manville, again illustrating that there are meaty roles being created for more mature actresses – others nominated , Mary j, Blige, Octavia Spencer and Sally Hawkins are in their 40s. Maturity seems to be a winning roles and recognition- with less emphasis on youth. The male nominees were also for the most part 'older', Gary Oldman, Daniel Day Lewis, Christopher Plummer, Willem Defoe, Woody Harrelson, Denzel Washington.
Let's hope that this signals the value – and market the mature audience represents is being recognised, and that we want to see actors and actresses that we can relate to take centre stage on films with storylines that appeal to our age group.
I think it's fabulous that recognition of actors in our age group is becoming the norm rather than the exception. What do you think?


A director of the demining group was interviewed about this accident on 15th December 1998. From memory he reported that the victim was the Team Leader and had just made a radio report. He was returning to the working area and for some unexplained reason took a short-cut across a corner, stepping into an uncleared area. He trod on a Gyata-64 and lost his lower leg.

By 2050, 10 Million People Will Die Every Year From Something That's Meant to Save Lives
ByMatt Connolly
Prescribing antibiotics are a great idea in theory. How can fewer germs be a bad thing? In practice, though, their overuse can invite medical disaster.
That's according to a new study commissioned by the British government, which predicts that by 2050, 10 million people will die annually thanks to antibiotic failure. The global cost by then? Eight trillion dollars per year in expenses.
It's not as if the dangers aren't already present — the report estimates that 700,000 people currently die every year from germs that have become resistant to antibiotics. Still, it's a sobering wake-up call to how much greater the threat will be if left unaddressed.
The science: The problem with antibiotics is that microbes are always evolving. Hit a germ population too many times and it will start to develop a resistance.
Though our pace of new antibiotics discovery has slowed greatly, according to the report, our antibiotic use as a whole has increased. This isn't just true for humans either — 80% of U.S. antibiotics are used by the meat industry. While industry groups call the practice safe, scientific studies have shown the danger of resistant germs moving from animals to humans. While the FDA has made some efforts to curb antibiotics use on livestock, most are voluntary guidelines rather than hard and fast rules.
The impact won't be felt evenly around the world, the report notes. "Particular countries at risk include India, Nigeria and Indonesia (malaria) and Russia (TB)," the researchers write. "In addition, if malaria and HIV drug resistance is not tackled, Africa as a continent will suffer greatly, and the debilitating impacts of HIV and TB comorbidity already seen in many of the poorest parts of the world will likely get worse."
How to fix it: With germs always evolving against antibiotics, there are only two options. One is to keep developing new ones in a sort of arms race with bacteria and viruses. The other option is to use antibiotics less often to slow down the pace of resistance and make the antibiotics we have last longer.
The second option is way more realistic than the first. A study from last year found that antibiotics are prescribed for children twice as often as they're needed, creating as many as 11 million needless prescriptions a year. And antibiotic use on livestock farms has shot up, according to Mother Jones, from 20 million pounds in 2003 to nearly 30 million pounds in 2011.
By getting doctors to cut down on antibiotic prescriptions — and weaning the meat industry off drugging their cattle as much as possible — we could lower that predicted annual death toll of 10 million. And if not, we could be heading for a scary new era in the world of medicine.

Answer explanation - Academic Reading Passage Sample 3 - Zoo Conservation Programmes.
Go to the Reading Passage - Zoo Conservation Programmes.
Answer Explanation:
Do the following statements agree with the views of the writer in Reading Passage 3? In boxes 16-22 write:
Y if the statement agrees with the writer
N if the statement contradicts the writer
NG if it is impossible to say what the writer thinks about this
Note: Do not write 'Yes, No, Not Given' as answers to questions 16-22. The question-instruction clearly tells you to write 'Y, N, NG'. Similarly, do avoid writing 'Ture, False, Not Given' by all means. You should always follow the instruction.
Question 16: London Zoo's advertisements are dishonest.
Answer: Y.
Explanation: The very first line of the reading passage gives the answer to this question. However, many would read the part "One of London Zoo's recent advertisements caused me some irritation..." and would assume that only one advertisement has distorted the reality and it is not justified to tell that London Zoo's advertisements are dishonest. One of our students has commented on this:
"I think the first question: London Zoo's advertisements are dishonest is a very broad statement. In this case, the author mentions of "one specific" advertisement from the zoo and it is incorrect to broadly classify all the advertisements from London Zoo as dishonest. I think the answer to that question should be 'NG'."
The real hint to the answer lies in the next few words of this very first line "so patently did it distort reality". Now read the whole sentence again -
One of London Zoo's recent advertisements caused me some irritation, so patently did it distort reality.
Here the writer expresses his opinion that plenty of advertisements did distort reality. So the writer clearly states that plenty of London Zoo's advertisements did distort reality and are dishonest. Then he goes on to criticise a recent advertisement that caused her some irritation.
Question 17: Zoos made an insignificant contribution to conservation up until 30 years ago.
Explanation: The answer to this question could be found at the first line of the second paragraph where it states that "Zoos were originally created as places of entertainment, and their suggested involvement with conservation didn't seriously arise until about 30 years ago, when the Zoological Society of London held the first formal international meeting on the subject."
Question 18: The WZCS document is not known in Eastern Europe.
Answer: NG.
Explanation: Let us examine what the writer tells us about the WZCS document and its exposure to the Eastern Europe.
At the end of the second paragraph: "This commitment has now been clearly defined in The World Zoo Conservation Strategy (WZCS, September 1993), which although an important and welcome document does seem to be based on an unrealistic optimism about the nature of the zoo industry."
At the beginning of the third paragraph: "The WZCS estimates that there are about 10,000 zoos in the world, of which around 1,000 represent a core of quality collections capable of participating in coordinated conservation programmes."
Now he tells that "...I have found that, in a year of working in Eastern Europe, I discover fresh zoos on almost a weekly basis." at the end of this paragraph. It is evident that the writer does not express anything whether the WZCS document was known to Eastern Europe or not. He keeps on mentioning about the WZCS document in the rest of the reading passage but nowhere does he mention Eastern Europe's knowledge or lack of knowledge of this document.
So the answer is 'NG'.
Question 19: Zoos in the WZCS select list were carefully inspected.
Answer: N.
Explanation: Read carefully the second line of the 4th paragraph and answer the question 19. The writer includes that "One would assume that the calibre of these institutions would have been carefully examined, but it appears that the criterion for inclusion on this select list might merely be that the zoo is a member of a zoo federation or association."
Since being merely a member of a zoo federation or association is the criterion for inclusion in the WZCS list and the writer shows his concern on that, it is safe to say that the writer does not believe that Zoos in the WZCS select list were carefully inspected.
Question 20: No-one knew how the animals were being treated at Robin Hill Adventure Park.
Explanation: Look at the first few lines of the 5th paragraph. It includes "Occasionally had members that have been roundly censured in the national press. These include Robin Hill Adventure Park on the Isle of Wight...", which means Robin Hill Adventure Park's animal condition was not known to all.
Furthermore, it states that "This establishment (Robin Hill Adventure Park), which for years was protected by the Isle's local council.... and it is evident that how they treated animals was not a public knowledge.
Finally, it says that "it was finally closed down following a damning report by a veterinary inspector appointed under the terms of the Zoo Licensing Act 1981". So without a doubt, this establishment did not maintain the standard and hence was forced to be closed down until a damning report by a veterinary inspector appointed under the terms of the Zoo Licensing Act 1981. If the concerning authority knew how this establishment treated animals, this could have been shut down even before 1981.
Question 21: Colin Tudge was dissatisfied with the treatment of animals at London Zoo.
Explanation: Colin Tudge was the author of Last Animals at the Zoo (Oxford University Press, 1992) and a former member of the council of London Zoo, according to the 6th paragraph of the reading passage. According to the author of this reading passage Colin Tudge argued that "if the world's zoos worked together in co-operative breeding programmes, then even without further expansion they could save around 2,000 species of endangered land vertebrates'.
Our writer further criticises Colin Tudge for his over optimistic hypothesis. Though the reading passage informs us that Colin Tudge was a former member of the council of London Zoo and the writer of Last Animals at the Zoo, it does not tell if he was satisfied or dissatisfied with the treatment of animals at London Zoo. This is why the answer is 'NG'.
Question 22: The number of successful zoo conservation programmes is unsatisfactory.
Explanation: The answer to this question is clearly stated in the last two paragraphs. No single line explicitly supports this statement, however, the whole context of the last two paragraphs reveals that successful zoo conversation programmes are indeed unsatisfactory. The supporting arguments from the writer are as follows:
"Even assuming that the WZCS's 1,000 core zoos are all of a high standard complete with scientific staff and research facilities, trained and dedicated keepers, accommodation that permits normal or natural behaviour, and a policy of co-operating fully with one another what might be the potential for conservation?"
This seems an extremely optimistic proposition from a man... ... ... where are the facts to support such optimism?"
"Today approximately 16 species might be said to have been "saved" by captive breeding programmes, although a number of these can hardly be looked upon as resounding successes. Beyond that, about a further 20 species are being seriously considered for zoo conservation programmes. Given that the international conference at London Zoo was held 30 years ago, this is pretty slow progress, and a long way off Tudge's target of 2,000."
Question 23: What were the objectives of the WZCS document?
Answer: B - to identify zoos suitable for conservation practice.
Explanation: The third paragraph first talks about the WZCS document and its purpose.The following line clearly states that its core purpose was to identifying zoos that are suitable for conservation practice.
"The WZCS estimates that there are about 10,000 zoos in the world, of which around 1,000 represent a core of quality collections capable of participating in coordinated conservation programmes."
Question 24: Why does the writer refer to Robin Hill Adventure Park?
Answer: C - to illustrate a weakness in the WZCS document.
Explanation: The first line of the 4th paragraph "The second flaw in the reasoning of the WZCS document is the naive faith it places in its 1,000 core zoos." clearly shows that the writer denounces the effectiveness of WZCS documents. On the very first paragraph, the writer points out that "Occasionally had members that have been roundly censured in the national press. These include Robin Hill Adventure Park on the Isle of Wight, which many considered the most notorious collection of animals in the country. This establishment, which for years was protected by the Isle's local council (which viewed it as a tourist amenity), was finally closed down following a damning report by a veterinary inspector appointed under the terms of the Zoo Licensing Act 1981."
So it is evident that the writer mentions the Robin Hill Adventure Park to illustrate a weakness in the WZCS document.
Question 25: What word best describes the writer's response to Colin Tudges' prediction on captive breeding programmes?
Answer: A - disbelieving.
Explanation: It is quite clear that the writer did not believe Colin Tudge's argument that states "if the world"s zoos worked together in co-operative breeding programmes, then even without further expansion they could save around 2,000 species of endangered land vertebrates". Our writer calls his proposition extremely optimistic and challenges that no sufficient facts are there to support Tudge's theory. The writer also questions his proposition at the last line of the reading passage by saying that "Given that the international conference at London Zoo was held 30 years ago, this is pretty slow progress, and a long way off Tudge's target of 2,000."
So 'disbelieving' is the word best describes the writer's response to Tudge's prediction on captive breading programmes.
Question 26-28: The writer mentions a number of factors which lead him to doubt the value of the WZCS document Which THREE of the following factors are mentioned? Write your answers (A-F) in boxes 26-28 on your answer sheet.
Answer: A, D, E.
Explanation: For questions 26 to 28, you have to identify three factors that made the writer doubtful about the value of the WZCS document. Six such factors are mentioned and you need to find the correct three options.
Let us examine all these three options:
Option A - the number of unregistered zoos in the world: The evidence for this factor to lead the writer to disbelieve WZCS document's effectiveness could be found at the beginning of the 6th paragraph.
Option D - the failure of the WZCS to examine the standards of the "core zoos": The evidence for this option to be a reason for the writer to disbelieve WZCS document's value could be found at the beginning of the 4th paragraph which includes-
"The second flaw in the reasoning of the WZCS document is the naive faith it places in its 1,000 core zoos. One would assume that the calibre of these institutions would have been carefully examined, but it appears that the criterion for inclusion on this select list might merely be that the zoo is a member of a zoo federation or association."
Option E - the unrealistic aim of the WZCS in view of the number of species "saved" to date: The writer talks about this as a reason for this doubt on the values of the WZCS document in the last paragraph where he says -
Fatimah 27 days 3 hours
Explain question 26 and its answer, please? Why is it A?
Fatimah Yassin 27 days 3 hours
I did not understand question 26 and its answer. Please explain?
Amar Shukla 5 months 9 days
Do the following statements agree with the views of the writer in Reading Passage 3?This statement reflects that I have to give all of the answers from passage three only. But you are giving from others also. In reading sample 1 (PVA) you said that "you have to give the answer from only given passage whatever is in question."Can solve my problem because I always get stuck into this type of questions?
Ulfat 1 year 2 months
The answer to the 20th question is wrong.
Sami 1 year 8 months
Explanation to question 20 is wrong.

Pollard PLLC Wins Another Appeal of a Non-Compete Preliminary Injunction
Fort Lauderdale, FL — Pollard PLLC has won another appeal of a preliminary injunction in a non-compete matter. According to Pollard, "It's another David vs. Goliath case. Another $1 billion company that thinks it can push around the little guy. We'll see about that."
The plaintiff Hometeam Pest Defense is a pest control company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the pest control industry giant Rollins. The defendant Mr. Salazar worked for Hometeam from approximately 2009 until 2014, when he left to form his own company. Salazar never solicited any Hometeam's active clients. Instead, he relied on general advertising and word-of-mouth referrals. When Salazar was approached by Hometeam clients, he advised them that he couldn't interfere with any current Hometeam contracts. He only signed on former Hometeam clients. Likewise, Salazar's new business used entirely different systems and technologies. He neither used nor misappropriated any of Hometeam's purportedly confidential information.
In spite of this, Hometeam and their lawyers couldn't let Salazar alone. When they learned about his competing business, they sent him a cease & desist letter. Pollard responded on his behalf. Somewhat inexplicably, Hometeam and its lawyers then waited nearly seven months before filing a lawsuit and demanding a preliminary injunction. In spite of this lengthy and inexplicable delay, and in spite of extensive case law holding that such a delay precludes injunctive relief, the trial court entered an order enjoining Salazar from competing in a restricted territory. The trial court's order essentially adopted a proposed order written by plaintiff's counsel. Pollard filed an appeal.
On November 17, 2017, Florida Second District Court of Appeal issued an order vacating the trial court's ruling in its entirety. The 2nd DCA's holding, in relevant part: First, the trial court's order did not contain any findings of fact whatsoever. Under Florida law (Rule 1.610) every preliminary injunction must contain findings of fact and specify reasons for its entry. Because the order was deficient, it had to be vacated. Second, the trial court's order failed to address Salazar's affirmative defenses. Those defenses included illegality and laches (delay). This is an incredibly important holding. Essentially, Florida's 2nd DCA has ruled that illegality is potentially a valid defense to a non-compete agreement. In the non-compete context, the defense of illegality contends that the non-compete agreement is not supported by a legitimate business interest and is, therefore, an illegal restraint of trade. By ordering the trial court to address that affirmative defense, a Florida appellate court is holding that non-compete agreements can be illegal restraints of trade. Next, consistent with a vast body of case law, the 2nd DCA held that laches, or unreasonable delay, could also defeat non-compete enforcement. In the end, the appellate court sent the matter back down for the trial court to do it again.
Pollard considers it a small but important victory and says, "The case keeps going. We're basically doing this one pro bono. But we're committed to seeing the case through to the end. We are committed to vindicating Mr. Salazar, proving that he has not engaged in any unfair competition and proving that the non-compete at issue is unenforceable. This is about a young guy who is trying to start his own business and feed his family. And to me, that's worth fighting for. And on a broader level, we've already won a huge victory. We have an appellate decision that will help restore non-compete law to what the legislature intended."
The appellate case is Salazar v. Hometeam Pest Defense, Case No. 2d16-4123 (November 17, 2017). The trial court case is pending in Lee County, Florida.

Home The Blog Solar Impulse Shines in a Grand Finale
Solar Impulse Shines in a Grand Finale
Dean Sigler 06/26/2011 Sustainable Aviation Leave a Comment
Nature's vagaries threatened Solar Impulse's planned flight all week at the 2011 Paris Air Show at Le Bourget Field, but the clouds parted company, the sun shone brilliantly, and the giant airplane delighted the huge crowd with its extremely slow pass down the main runway.
Bertrand Piccard and André Borschberg, co-founders of the project, had accomplished what they set out to do – make believers in a clean, bright future of emissions-free flight.
According to the project's web site, "Gilles Fournier, President of Le Bourget airshow, declared afterwards: 'This flight was the highlight of the air show. 30'000 people saw it this morning, and there was a very strong emotion amongst the crowd. This very intense moment reminded me of the prestigious history of Le Bourget air show. Solar Impulse is at the heart of this tradition.'"
Almost 350,000 Air Show visitors and 3,000 members of the "international media" had an opportunity to view the 204-foot span machine in its hangar, which it shared with the EADS electric Cri-Cri.
This disparity in scale, despite a comic overtone, had to cause viewers to see the obvious possibilities. French President Nicolas Sarkozy, in his opening ceremony speech, certainly saw them. "Solar Impulse is a reminder that we must think of more energy efficient aircraft solutions right away, shaping the future of aviation also means creating sustainable aircraft."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HkRsrJ7f5A
The project founders were heartened by the widespread enthusiasm, Piccard noting, "The feedback here has been extremely encouraging." Borschberg added, "They showed great interest in our project."
Those showing great interest included Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet, the French Minister for Ecology, Sustainable Development and Transport; Louis Gallois, the Chief Executive Officer of EADS; Christine Lagarde, Minister for Economic Affairs, Finance and Industry; Jean-Paul Huchon, the President of the Ile de France Region; and Zoltan Kazatsay, the Deputy Director-General of the European Commission's Energy and Transport Committee.
Bernard Schopfer's Solar Impulse blog entry summed up the emotional nature of the event.
"Today all superlatives are allowed! This morning the Solar aircraft HB-SIA provided a poetic, scientific, environmental and human climax to the Paris Air Show when Markus Scherdel gave a spectacular flight demonstration.
"This was the culmination of a fantastic week for the whole Solar Impulse team. Every one of the 85 team members was on site to watch this highlight: engineers, electricians, builders and logistics people, who are normally dotted between Lausanne, Payerne and Dubendorf….
"Everyone held their breath. The propellers started turning and the plane was airborne in less than 10 seconds…The public was stunned. There was thunderous applause. After a week of enjoying fabulous displays, sometimes spectacular, but always noisy and polluting, Solar Impulse suddenly offered an astonishing alternative solution. HB-SIA soared above their heads slowly, majestically and silently.
"Bertrand Piccard, who MC'ed the event, was as emotional as his audience. The HB-SIA flew its course perfectly. On its approach to land, it was buffeted slightly by turbulence, but Markus Scherdel managed the situation with a calm hand.
"Touch down!
"The ground crew guided the HB-SIA wings and it came to rest just metres from an Airbus A-380. Two symbols of the future of aviation. Emotions overflowed and people had tears pouring down their faces.
"When a journalist suggested to [the President of Airbus] that Solar Impulse was stealing the limelight from Airbus, the CEO burst out laughing… 'It's true, we're a bit jealous of you! But more seriously, I think that it's important to retain an element of imagination in this industrial environment, and that's what Solar Impulse is doing. Bravo!'"

Q: How To Enable WebGL In Chrome On Ubuntu? chrome://gpu/

And http://webglreport.com/

 google-chrome --version
 Google Chrome 27.0.1453.93

http://www.chromeexperiments.com/webgl

How To Enable WebGL In Chrome On Ubuntu ?

A: Maybe too old your video driver or not installed properly.
I had same problem too, but this solution fixed my problem without overrides!

*

*To add PPA for Ubuntu 14.04 / 13.10 / 13.04 / 12.10
Ubuntu 14.04 / 13.10 / 13.04 / 12.10 users, Run the following command in the terminal and type the password for the user when prompted.  Others use the Ubuntu-X PPA.
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa

*To add PPA for Ubuntu 12.04 / 11.10 / 11.04 / 10.04
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
After adding the PPA, update your system repository.

*To Update
sudo apt-get update
Now install the NVIDIA GeForce graphics driver 304.108 in your system, as you install other packages by using apt-get.

*To Install
sudo apt-get install nvidia-current nvidia-settings
Above command will install the driver.

Source: http://www.howopensource.com/2012/10/install-nvidia-geforce-driver-in-ubuntu-12-10-12-04-using-ppa/

A: using chromium  Version 49.0.2623.108 on Ubuntu 14.04 (64-bit).
What we need to activate is  #ignore-gpu-blacklist
It's the first line in chrome://flags/
Hope it can help,

A:
For WebGL to work in Google Chrome (and Chromium), Here are the steps to enable WebGL in Google Chrome.

Step 1: Open Google Chrome
Step 2: Type chrome://flags in the address bar
Step 3: Press Ctrl + f and type " Rendering list ", "Override software rendering list"
should come up, Now click on Enable and restart the browser.
Step 4: Completely kill Chrome: Type killall chrome into a console.
Step 5: Go to chrome://settings and enable Use hardware acceleration when available. By default it is off since version 43.

Step 6: Start Chrome

Now check      chrome://gpu/

http://webglreport.com/

Source

A: If you still don't get any results, check if hardware-acceleration is enabled in Chromium settings, Google tends to disable this setting by default since version 43. In this case that was the problem for me after I updated GPU drivers, overrode the GPU blacklist, and so and so.

A: I had the issue that WebGL was reported as unavailable after switching from the proprietary Nvidia to the nouveau drivers, a change which does not seem to have been picked up in the chromium GPU config of my profile. The fix is running chromium-browser --single-process once to reset the GPU configuration.

A: If you have tried the things posted above and it is still not working, try using different drivers. Go to Software And Updates and there select Additional Drivers. Then select either the middle option or the last one (either Proprietary Binary or Nuveau). In my case I selected Proprietary Binary, but it got reverted to Nuveau and now I have WebGL enabled..

We went out for lunch today and hubby met up his old friend that he wasn't able to see for almost 6 years. He is also in the military and we went on post to pick him up. We went to a chinese restaurant to have lunch. They're glad they saw each other. His friend is only here for training and will go back to his assigned post in July. They're very loud talking to each other, I am telling you. But glad they saw each other.
After lunch we went to Tacoma to get parts of our CPU. The fan of our CPU is not working and everytime I turn it on I will smell something burnt inside. So we have to get a new fan before it catches fire. Then we passed by Babies r us and bought clothes for our tiny one. I also saw that they have the light stroller that I have been meaning to buy online. The price is lower than the one I saw online so I went ahead and bought it. We headed home before our little one will get cranky.

METAVERSE VS MULTIVERSE: WHICH ONE WILL COME OUT ON TOP?
METAVERSE VS MULTIVERSE. Which is the future?
As Facebook changes its name to Meta, the focus is on the multiple virtual worlds we live in and how we interact with them. While the metaverse is still a work in progress, the concept of investing our time and engagement efforts only online isn't new. The concept of the metaverse was initially proposed in the 1992 science fiction novel Snow Crash, which was inspired by video games at the time and also alluded to the emergence of an early internet. When we use social media sites like Facebook, we travel in and out of a self-sustaining virtual environment frequently.
Because of this, the New Yorker published an article titled "We Already Live in Facebook's Metaverse." As a result, if we live in multiple places, the question arises:
Are there multiple metaverses at the same time?
Is each social media platform, online game such as Minecraft, and virtual reality ecosystem considered its own metaverse? This is where the multiverse concept comes into play. The multiverse, like the metaverse in its early years, popularized by science function and comic books, and derived from string theory in physics. The multiverse must now redefined in context as development efforts for an AR/VR-enabled metaverse gain traction. Simply put, in AR/VR, the multiverse refers to multiple disconnected worlds, similar to the original concept of co-existing universes in string theory and theoretical astrophysics. Let's look at how these two ideas connected.
What the Differences Between the Metaverse and the Multiverse?
Consider the fundamental differences between the metaverse and the multiverse to better understand these two terms.
The metaverse is being constructed, whereas the multiverse is hypothetical or exists.
The metaverse is a technology platform or environment, currently in a WIP stage. There are versions of it already available to users. The multiverse either does or doesn't exist–it isn't going through any sort of creation process, and scientists are only working to prove its existence.
The metaverse must be fully immersive, whereas the multiverse may contain 2D elements.
The metaverse combines AR, VR, and MR to provide a highly immersive experience. As technologies grow, its depiction of the real world will get even more accurate and it will become easier for users to move in and out of the metaverse. The multiverse may contain universes that do not resemble our own. In theory, there could be a universe with different laws of physics, and therefore, two-dimensional objects and beings.
The multiverse is not universal, but the metaverse is.
This is an important difference. As mentioned, the true metaverse will converged and universal, bringing together all the immersive worlds built by different companies. The multiverse, in contrast, has inherent multiplicity. This means that there will always be over one world, which may or may not be interoperable.
The metaverse is interoperable, whereas the multiverse's integration limited.
The metaverse is interoperable by definition, allowing users to teleport in and out of spaces, carry objects around, use the same credentials, port their NFTs, and so on.The level of interoperability in the multiverse is yet to be proven and will depend on the level of variance, as discussed.But given that we haven't discovered the existence of a multiverse as yet, integration and interoperability are likely to be limited.
What Is the Metaverse, and How Does It Work?
The metaverse is a converged environment where users can interact with each other and the 3D world around them. It is an immersive 3D space that combines multiple AR, VR, and MR experiences to create a converged environment where users can interact with each other and the 3D world around them.
Since the rise of games like Second Life, the metaverse has been a long time in the making. Minecraft, Second Life, and other virtual reality games proposed you could exist as a 3D replica of yourself, going through similar experiences, emotions, transactions, and interactions as you would in the real world. Companies like Decentraland, Sandbox, Microsoft, and now Facebook or Meta have added a human-computer interaction element to this (HCI). You could now interact with the virtual world-scape through sensory interactions besides existing in a 3D avatar form. In the future, these companies' various metaverse platforms will converge to form a converged environment–i.e., the true metaverse.
What Exactly Is the Multiverse?
The theory of parallel universes as it exists in physics, cosmology, astronomy, and other related fields of study is known as the multiverse. The term gained popularity in the mid- and late-twentieth century because even in an infinite world, there are only a finite number of molecular combinations that can exist. As a result, matter would be compelled to repeat the same patterns eventually, resulting in universes that are like or very different from our own.
Multiverses, according to cosmologists, may exist in varying degrees of variation from our own. It could be like ours, but with a different sequence of events. In terms of basic laws, it could be like ours, but with a unique set of physical parameters. There may be multiple universes in which every combination of matter and molecules exists. Finally, there may be universes that are not even remotely related to our own and operate according to different physical laws.
The theory of parallel universes as it exists in physics, cosmology, astronomy, and other related fields of study is known as the multiverse.

As a result, matter would be compelled to repeat the same patterns eventually, resulting in universes that are like or very different from our own.
Which one will emerge victorious?
The question of which will come out on top, the multiverse or the metaverse, remains to be seen. For now, the metaverse is closer to seeing a "market launch" and will have 1 billion users by 2031, as per Facebook's estimates. The multiverse, if it exists, could have a parallel world where the metaverse designed, developed, and deployed. Ultimately, the multiverse is among the foundational rules of existence that will determine the core fabric of our lives. And eventually, a major of that life could play out in the metaverse.

Q: PHP-String remove everything before and including " - " In WooCommerce I can get the variaation name with:
$variation_obj = wc_get_product($variation['variation_id']);
variation_name = $variation_obj->get_name();

This gives me an output with the following pattern: " - " but I just need the Variation attribute output. Examples are:
"Refresh Spray - 250 ml"
"Refresh Spray - 500 ml"
"Refresh Spray - 1 l"
How can I remove the " - " and everything in front of it?

A: You can search for the last occurrence and get the string after that:
$name = substr($variation_name, strrpos($variation_name, '-'));

and when you want to remove any whitespaces use trim afterwards:
$name = trim($name);

A: There are various different methods for doing this kind of thing but my trick is the code below.
<?php

$var = "blahblahblah - hello"; // put here your variable containing the "-"
$var = explode("-", $var); // cuts the string into pieces at the "-" and removes the "-"
$var = $var[0]; // grabs the part before the "-"
$var = $var."-"; // adds the "-" again, remove this part if you don't want the "-"

echo($var);

?>

this should do exactly what you want.

A: If you want to remove everything before "-" including it:
$str_after = preg_replace("#.+\s?-#","",$variation_name);

But if you want to remove everything after including the "-":
$str_before = preg_replace("#-\s?.+#","",$variation_name);

Q: git latest tag from local repository This works on my local machine
git ls-remote --tags | grep -o 'refs/tags/[0-9]*\.[0-9]*' | sort -r | head -1 | grep -o '[^\/]*$

but not in my jenkins build server which is running from docker, it doesn't have the rights and I can't seem to fix that.
Is there an alternative for ls-remote which would give me exactly the same output, but then for my local git repository?
Or, is there a silver bullet solution for getting the LATEST tag from my local repo, looking from the tip of the branch and then backwards? I have been struggling with git tag | head -1 and all kinds of alternatives but nothing gives me the latest tag searching back from the tip of the branch....

A: git describe is a native way, considering

With --abbrev set to 0, the command can be used to find the closest tagname without any suffix

A: It looks like you are trying to compare version numbers.
If you are interested in "the tag with the highest version number in my repo" :
git tag --sort=v:refname | tail -1

if your version tags have a pattern to distinguish them from other tags :
git tag --sort=v:refname --list "v[0-9]*" | tail -1

note that the filter is a glob pattern, not a regexp :
v[0-9]* in the example above means : v followed by any char in [0-9] followed by anything else (*)

This will work if you have all tags locally, so run git fetch --tags before that to have an up to date list.

If you want "the tag with the highest version number in the history of my current branch" :
git tag --sort=v:refname --merged=HEAD | tail -1

If you want "the tag closest to my current commit" :
git describe --tags --abbrev=0

The Cheese Board: Collective Works: Bread, Pastry, Cheese, Pizza [A Baking Book] (Paperback)
By Cheese Board Collective Staff, Alice Waters (Foreword by), Cheese Board Colletive (Editor)
Backordered - May Take 2-3 Weeks to Become Available
From the enormously popular Berkeley cheese shop and bakery, a collection of 150 classic recipes along with a history of the store and a cheese primer, all accompanied by 50 photographs.
The Cheese Board was there, a hole in the wall with a line out the door, before Chez Panisse was so much as a gleam in my eye. When the restaurant was conceived, I wanted it to be in North Berkeley so the Cheese Board would be nearby, because I knew I would be among friends.
-Alice Waters, from the Foreword
When a tiny cheese shop opened in Berkeley, California, in 1967, there was little hint of what the store-and the neighborhood-would grow into over the next 30 years. The Cheese Board became a collective a few years later and Chez Panisse opened across the street, giving birth to one of the country's most vibrant food neighborhoods, the epicenter of California's culinary revolution. Equal parts bakery, cheese store, pizzeria, and gathering place, the Cheese Board is a patchwork of the local community, where a passion for good food runs deep. THE CHEESE BOARD presents over 100 recipes for the store's classic breads, pastries, and pizzas, along with a history of the collective and an extensive cheese primer.
THE CHEESE BOARD COLLECTIVE hailed as a paradigm of collective-run business. The Cheese Board shop is frequently cited in national food media "best of" lists and is a major food destination in Berkeley, California.
"The Cheese Board is the soul of my neighborhood in Berkeley. I go there probably three times a week-not only for cheese and the world-class bread and pizza, but also for the sheer sense of community that permeates the place. This fine book, long overdue, will now enable us groupies to bring even deeper shades of the inimitable Cheese Board spirit into our kitchens." -Mollie Katzen, author of The Moosewood Cookbook"What a treasure this book is-filled with recipes for Cheese Board specialties I'¬?ve loved for years, plus the inside story on how this quirky business really runs. After reading it, I wanted to drop everything and join the collective." -Janet Fletcher, author of The Cheese Course"This book is important, first because it is a lively historical document of a truly amazing place, but also because the recipes are so wonderful. My pizza repertoire has been infused with a fabulous jolt of new ideas." -Peter Reinhart, author of American Pie: My Search for the Perfect Pizza and The Bread Baker'¬?s Apprentice"The Cheese Board has all of the best things: cheeses and olives; breads and pizzas; the most knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive staff ever. The collective'¬?s policy of encouraging people to taste everything in the shop created a sensation, a destination, and an education. Now all of the Cheese Board'¬?s expertise and excellent recipes are here to behold." -Michael Wild, chef-owner of BayWolf and author of The BayWolf Restaurant Cookbook"A real expression of the Cheese Board'¬?s philosophy, this book speaks in the voices of the members of the collective, revealing how their work intersects with and pervades their lives. The stories and the recipes for the favorite breads and pizzas developed in the 36-year life of this vibrant Berkeley institution are all here." -Lindsey Shere, author of Chez Panisse Desserts

The primary purposes of a snowshoe are to provide flotation and traction. Since all MSR® snowshoes deliver exceptional traction, your next consideration is flotation, and this is where size comes into play.
Once you've decided on a snowshoe, assess your weight, including all the gear and clothing you'll be wearing the majority of the time you snowshoe. If you only go on a couple of overnights a year, don't include that 50-pound pack—just your fully clothed weight, plus a daypack and water. Then consider the snow conditions you're likely to travel in most often—deep, untracked powder, or groomed trails and established snowshoe routes. Are you at a high altitude or very far north where snow generally falls deep and light and a larger snowshoe is in order, or are you at lower elevations or in a coastal range where snow has high moisture content and generally consolidates rapidly, making a smaller snowshoe your best choice?
The idea is to find the smallest possible snowshoe that matches your needs in most–not all–situations so you can maximize your agility and efficiency. Now, with Modular Flotation tails available across all MSR adult snowshoes, we've made that easier than ever. Should you find yourself on the cusp between sizes, always go with the smaller one and then simply add tails for added flotation as needed.
What are the differences between the Evo™, Revo™ and Lightning™ snowshoes?
Each of these snowshoes offers outstanding traction, aggressive bindings, ergonomic deck shapes, Modular Flotation and excellent durability. However, when it's all said and done, the plastic-deck Evo and Revo snowshoes are a bit more durable while the all-aluminum Lightning snowshoes offer our absolute greatest level of traction. You'll find that because the Lightning's 360° Traction™ Frame features a vertical wall of teeth all along the perimeter plus two crossmembers underneath, it offers slightly better traction on traverses. The decks of our Evo and Revo shoes are built from an incredibly tough, injection-molded plastic, giving them a slight advantage in durability in the course of normal use. These plastic decks also allow for greater flex underfoot while hiking. In contrast, the Lightning snowshoes offer a stiffer feel, and are quieter as you hike through harder-packed snow.

How do I store my snowshoes?
Dry your snowshoes after each use. Then store them with bottoms together to keep the sharp under-bits form damaging other gear.
Why is traction so important?
Inadequate traction is horribly inefficient, with every misstep wasting precious energy. That's why we provide the industry's best traction, regardless of what shoe you purchase—from kid's snowshoes, to our most aggressive shoes. The result is a far more enjoyable experience with the increased efficiency of solid, no-slip footing and the confidence to go anywhere.
What should I look for in a binding?
First and foremost, you should seek out bindings that suit your needs. Do you prioritize comfort or security? The best bindings do both. It's also important to understand that regardless of what a tag says a binding does, it can't do it if it's frozen. Be leery of excessive use of nylon webbing and cordage–both absorb water and can leave your bindings rendered useless when frozen. Look for simplicity (fewer parts and potential for things to break) and light weight, and try them on in the store with the same footwear you'll use in the field. Unless you have an exceptionally small or large foot, a good binding will be able to adapt to a range of footwear to keep your options open.
Where are MSR snowshoes made?
All MSR snowshoe components are proudly made in Seattle, USA, and the employees of Cascade Designs build every snowshoe we make. Shoes found in North America and Japan are entirely built in the USA, while those found in Europe have some final assembly done in our Cork, Ireland facility.


Anxiety is the new depression, with more than half of all American college students reporting anxiety.1 Recent research2 shows anxiety — characterized by constant and overwhelming worry and fear — is now 800 percent more prevalent than all forms of cancer.
Fortunately, there are many treatment options available, and some of the most effective treatments are also among the safest and least expensive, and don't involve drugs.
Anxiety — A Medical Condition Driven by Sociological Conditions?
"A person with high functioning anxiety can look calm on the surface, but underneath that practiced veneer, their thoughts are churning. That's the message behind a new video from 'The Mighty,' in which a young woman describes the experience of living with the condition, which is characterized by persistent negative thoughts, restlessness and even physical symptoms like muscle tension …"
Consider the fidget spinner: endlessly whirring between the fingertips of 'Generation Alpha,' annoying teachers, baffling parents … According to data from the National Institute of Mental Health, some 38 percent of girls ages 13 through 17, and 26 percent of boys, have an anxiety disorder … Meanwhile, the number of web searches involving the term has nearly doubled over the last five years …"
Indeed, Mr. Trump is the first politician in world history whose preferred mode of communication is the 3 a.m. tweet … 'We live in a country where we can't even agree on a basic set of facts,' said Dan Harris, an ABC news correspondent and 'Nightline' anchor …"
We have had nearly an exponential increase in electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure from devices like our cellphones and cordless phones, Wi-Fi routers, baby monitors, smart meters and cellphone towers, which may turn out to be a primary driver for this increase in anxiety and depression. How you say?
Good question. Due to the pioneering work of Dr. Martin Pall, we know that voltage gated calcium channels are over 7 million times more sensitive to microwave radiation than the charged particles inside and outside our cells. This means that the safety standards for this exposure are off by a factor of 7 million.
When the EMF from the above listed devices hit your voltage gated calcium channels, nearly 1 million calcium ions per second are released into the cell, which then causes the cell to release excessive nitric oxide that then combines with superoxide to form peroxynitrate, which then forms the dangerous hydroxyl free radical that causes massive mitochondrial dysfunction.
Guess which tissues have the greatest density of voltage gated calcium channels? Your nerves and tissues, like the pacemaker in your heart and, of course, your brain. When the channels in the brain are activated, it causes a major disruption in neurotransmitter and hormonal balance that can radically increase the risk for not only anxiety and depression but arrhythmias, autism and Alzheimer's.
I am going to be massively expanding on this in future articles and interviews but in the meantime, please watch or rewatch my video below to help start you on the process of protecting you from microwaves.
In his article, Williams touches on the popularity of so-called fidget spinners, originally devised as a focusing aid primarily for autistic children and kids with attention deficit or sensory sensitivity disorders. The toy is now being used by all sorts of people of varying ages. But do they really help reduce anxiety? According to psychiatrist Pilar Trelles at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City, the spinners can be quite helpful.
Health Magazine quotes her as saying, "When someone is hypersensitive to the environment they might bite their nails, pull out their cuticles or pinch their skin. Fidget spinners offer a less harmful way to expend that nervous energy."12 The fidget spinner falls under a stress management category called rapid stress management technique, recommended for use in conjunction with other forms of therapy.
That said, some schools have banned use of fidget spinners, on account that they distract teachers and other students. Medicine Net has also issued a warning that fidget spinners pose a choking hazard,13 as the round metal bearings could come dislodged. A 10-year-old girl had to have a bearing surgically removed from her esophagus after she accidentally swallowed it.
The emotional memories stored in the central part of the amygdala may play a role in anxiety disorders involving very distinct fears, such as fears of dogs, spiders or flying. The hippocampus is the part of the brain that encodes threatening events into memories."
✓ Food additives, food dyes, GMOs and glyphosate.
✓ Lack of magnesium, vitamin D15 and/or animal-based omega-3.
The way you breathe is intricately connected to your mental state. I've previously published interviews with Patrick McKeown, a leading expert on the Buteyko Breathing Method, where he explains how breathing affects your mind, body and health. Here, I've chosen a video featuring Robert Litman, where he specifically addresses the relationship between breathing and anxiety.
According to Buteyko, the founder of the method, anxiety is triggered by an imbalance between gases in your body, specifically the ratio between carbon dioxide (CO2) and oxygen. In this video, Litman explains how your breathing affects the ratio of these gases, and demonstrates how you can literally breathe your way into a calmer state of mind.
A Buteyko breathing exercise that can help quell anxiety is summarized below. This sequence helps retain and gently accumulate CO2, leading to calmer breathing and reduced anxiety. In other words, the urge to breathe will decline as you go into a more relaxed state.
Belisa Vranich, a clinical psychologist, has also written an excellent book called "Breathe." In it, she details a program that can help improve your physical and mental health. You can learn more about her breathing program in this recent interview.
Nature sounds produce brain activity associated with outward-directed focus, whereas artificial sounds create brain activity associated with inward-directed focus. The latter, which can express itself as worry and rumination about things related to your own self, is a trait associated with anxiety and depression. Nature sounds also produce higher rest-digest nervous system activity, which occurs when your body is in a relaxed state.
Previous research has also demonstrated that listening to nature sounds help you recover faster after a stressful event. So, seek out parks, or create a natural sanctuary on your balcony, or indoors using plants and an environmental sound machine. YouTube also has a number of very long videos of natural sounds, such as the one featured above. You could simply turn it on and leave it on while you're indoors.
Another potent treatment alternative that does not involve drugs is the Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), one of the most well-established forms of energy psychology. It's akin to acupuncture, which is based on the concept that a vital energy flows through your body along invisible pathways known as meridians. EFT stimulates specific energy meridian points in your body by tapping them with your fingertips, while simultaneously using custom-made verbal affirmations.
If you recall the NIMH's explanation above about how your amygdala and hippocampus are involved in anxiety disorders, you can see why tapping is such a powerful tool. In the video above, EFT therapist Julie Schiffman demonstrates how to tap for panic attacks and anxiety relief.
For serious or complex issues, you may need a qualified EFT therapist to guide you through the process. That said, the more you tap, the more skilled you'll become. You can also try acupuncture,27 which like EFT bridges the gap between your mind and body.
✓ Mindfulness training and/or a spiritual practice. Research suggests psilocybin, also known as magic mushrooms, may be a game changer in the treatment for severe depression and anxiety, and the spiritual intensity of the experience appears to be a key component of the healing.
For example, fermented foods have been shown to curb social anxiety disorder in young adults.30,31 To learn more about this, please see "Poor Diet, Lack of Sunshine and Spiritual Anemia — Three Potent Contributors to Depression and Anxiety."
✓ Evaluating your toxic exposures. A common symptom of toxic mold exposure is anxiety, so ask yourself if there's any kind of pattern; do your symptoms improve when you spend time away from your home or office, for example?
Anxiety can significantly reduce your quality of life, so it's well worth it to keep going until you find a proper long-term solution. Last but not least, don't underestimate the value of social interactions — face-to-face, that is, not via social media. Lack of social interaction has become so widespread, some establishments have taken to turning off their Wi-Fi in an effort to encourage human interaction.
Jimson Bienenstock, president of HotBlack Coffee in Toronto, explained his decision to turn the café into a cellphone-free zone to The New York Times, saying,40 "It's about creating a social vibe. We're a vehicle for human interaction, otherwise it's just a commodity." Indeed, like mindfulness and spiritual pursuits, social interaction helps foster meaning and purpose in life, thereby protecting and improving your mental health.

JANUARY 21 - DAILY CHRONICLES OF HISTORY
Lenin died from a massive stroke: After Lenin's death, Stalin's administration established the ideology known as Marxism-Leninism, a movement that was interpreted differently by various factions in the Communist ideology. After being forced into exile by Stalin's administration, Trotsky argued that Stalinism was a debasement of Leninism, which was dominated by bureaucratism and Stalin's own personal dictatorship. After Stalin's death, Georgy Maximilianovich Malenkov succeeded Stalin as temporary leader of the Soviet Union in 1953. His rapid ascent in Soviet leadership was due to family ties with Stalin. Malenkov was heavily involved in Stalin's purges and was succeeded by Nikita Khrushchev as leader of the Soviet Union. Khrushchev began a process of de-Stalinisation, citing Lenin's writings, including those on Stalin, to legitimize this process. When Mikhail Gorbachev took power in 1985 and introduced the policies of glasnost and perestroika, he too cited these actions as a return to Lenin's principles.
German submarine U-1199 was sunk in the English Channel by depth charges from British destroyer HMS Icarus and British corvette HMS Mignonette at 49°57′N 05°42′W.. The vessel had forty-seven crew of which only one man, the Chief Petty Officer Navigator, survived by escaping through the conning tower as the submarine flooded. U 1199 was attempting to enter the Channel on her second patrol when she was attacked and sunk. Following are a few excerpts from a report of the interrogation of survivors of U-1199: ' This prisoner declared that he had never been allowed to plot their course on the chart, but took his orders from the Commanding Officer, who himself acted as navigator and gave him bearings by observing lights at periscope depth. He remembered that the Commanding Officer had sighted the Wolf Rock lighthouse from a distance of about 5 miles, half an hour before the engagement. ....On 21st January a convoy was heard and the U-boat came to periscope depth. The Commanding Officer sighted about sixty ships and a spread of torpedoes was fired. The prisoner believed that they hit one 10,000 ton and one 8,000 ton ship. ....The U-boat bottomed and shortly afterwards experienced the effects of the first depth charge attack, which caused a small leak in the bow compartment, which subsequently became a large inrush of water; and the main motors were put out of action. The attack continued for several hours, successive patterns of depth charges causing still further damage; the magnetic compass was smashed, and rotary converters dislodged. The after control room bulkhead was closed and the prisoner was ignorant of what happened after. In the forward compartment the water was rising rapidly, and when it had risen three feet above the floor-plates, the Commanding Officer ordered the crew to abandon ship. The prisoner said that he put the mouthpiece of his life jacket into his mouth and ascribe that the rest of the crew to failed to do this and were suffocated by chlorine gas, which was by this time forming. He saw men collapsing one by one.'

Britain: Legal highs are rife in jails; new laws won't help much
Spicing up life behind bars
ALEX CAVENDISH first encountered Spice, a synthetic drug that imitates cannabis, in prison in 2012 when a sleepy looking Dutch man, serving a sentence for drug offences, started trading it. By 2014, Mr Cavendish says, half his fellow prisoners would "literally stagger" down the hall to roll-call each day, high on the drug, varying their routine only so far as to pass out in the grounds, be violently sick in a washroom, or urinate in a six-man dormitory.

The war on drugs is a war on people, where the majority of casualties are black and brown bodies.
Glasgow. | Drugs squad cops raid three cannabis farms a day in Glasgow
DRUGS squad cops are raiding three cannabis farms every day in Glasgow, the Evening Times can reveal.
Thousands of plants - with a street value of more than £1.2million - have been seized by city detectives in the last three months.
We can today reveal police have identified and raided 65 cannabis cultivations across Glasgow since April.
And one drug-busting detectives warned the organised crime gangs behind these operations have infiltrated all communities, from the city centre to city suburbs.
"It could be the house next door or the flat across the flat, they are everywhere.Detective Inspector Alistair Anderson told the Evening Times: "These cultivations can be set up anywhere.
State panel to vote on medical marijuana for autism
LANSING, Mich. (AP) - Michigan would become the first state to allow medical marijuana for children with severe autism if a senior official follows the recommendation made Friday by an advisory panel.
The state's Medical Marijuana Review Panel voted 4-2 to recommend autism as a condition that qualifies for the drug.
Supporters say oil extracted from marijuana and swallowed has been effective in controlling extreme physical behavior by kids with severe autism. Pot wouldn't be smoked.
The panel was influenced by comments received earlier from some Detroit-area doctors, especially the head of pediatric neurology at Children's Hospital of Michigan, and parents desperate for relief. Many of the three dozen spectators cheered and applauded after the vote.
Judge jails robbers for raid on cannabis farm
The judge told the court that they cannot sit back and let 'lkaw and order break down'
Criminals who raid cannabis farms were warned to expect tough jail sentences by a Crown Court judge.
Neighbours were startled when they saw a gang bursting into a home on a housing estate at Cotgrave in April.
Clayton Peters was caught red-handed in a car carrying £20,000 worth of the drug.
Judge Sean Rafferty QC imposed a five-year prison term on the 24-year-old, of Byron Avenue, Alfreton, who helped to plan the robbery.
Two years custody were ordered for Andrew Thompson, 29, of Lilac Grove, South Normanton – another of the planners.
Chris Christie, Newfound Drug Warrior, Is Too Late To Stop Pot
He vows to crack down on all marijuana use if elected, but most Americans live under liberalized pot laws.
No presidential election truly feels real until there's a solid incident of hippie-punching, and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was happy to throw the inaugural punch this week by telling pot smokers that as soon as he's in the White House, the party is over.
That apparently applies to medical marijuana users, too. Christie said he would enforce the federal laws prohibiting all use and possession of marijuana, which rank the plant as dangerous as heroin and provide no exception for medical use.
Police find cannabis farm on wheels in Neath Valley
POLICE on an operation looking for stolen goods found more than they bargained for when they opened the back of a lorry — a cannabis farm.
The trailer had been fitted with lights, ventilation and insulation, and contained around 30 plants.
The discovery was made by officers from the Neath local police team when they executed search warrants in and around Glynneath.
As well as the cannabis factory on wheels — which was found on Manor Drive, Aberpergwm — officers seized a number of suspected stolen vehicles, equipment and plant.
New Marijuana Law Section in MI State Bar
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — Michigan's medical marijuana law has been called confusing and inconsistent, but a group of attorneys is now working to help people better understand it.
The group recently gained recognition from the State Bar of Michigan, which makes Michigan the second state to have a Marijuana Law Section of the state bar. The other is Colorado, where recreational marijuana is legal. That state has a Cannabis Law Committee.
"This isn't just going to be a social club. This is going to be a proactive section that's going to try to get some things done," Lapeer attorney Bernard Jocuns, who will serve as the new Marijuana Law Section's chair, told 24 Hour News 8 in a Wednesday phone interview.
Why Blame Marijuana For Sandra Bland's Death?
Sandra Bland died on July 13 in a Waller County, Texas, jail cell, apparently by her own hand. Police say the 28-year-old woman, who had just traveled from Illinois to Texas for a job at Prairie View A&M University, used a trash can liner to hang herself. But the dashcam video of the routine traffic stop that led to her arrest three days earlier indicates that Bland would not have ended up in jail if she had complied with Trooper Brian Encinia's request that she put out her cigarette. After she declined, Encinia ordered her out of her car, and the encounter quickly escalated. Waller County officials have suggested that something else Bland smoked may have contributed to her arrest or her death.
Presidential Candidate Chris Christie vows crackdown on recreational marijuana
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has a message for people in states that have legalized recreational marijuana use: Enjoy it while you can.
"You take an oath of office," Mr. Christie, a 2016 Republican presidential candidate, said on "Fox and Friends." "I take one as governor; I will take one as president that says that you'll enforce the laws — not just enforce the laws you like. You'll enforce the laws. And marijuana is against the law in the United States and it should be enforced in all 50 states.

The following post is sponsored by FitFluential LLC on behalf of PUMA.
Good Morning! Today I am posting from the road, and have a fun travel workout to share with you.
Summer traveling always throws a kink in my regular workout routine. Instead of giving into "vacation mode" and slacking off in activity, I wanted to take the opportunity of being away from home to challenge myself and come up with a new workout I could do any where at any time.
Most of you already know I have a love for Pilates, yoga, and anything closely related to barre. While away from home, I have thrown a few of my favorite toning and balance exercises together and mixed them in with a little bit of cardio to give you a full body workout in under 40 minutes.
The best part? No equipment is necessary.
Just you, a good playlist, and some fitness gear.
Before creating the workout, I received the latest from the PUMA Fitness line, and have included a full review of the products below. First, let's break down those exercises!
Feel free to modify or change the workout to your liking, but this is the routine I plan on doing while traveling or on days I can't get to the gym for the remainder of the summer. Repeat the set of exercises three times, rest as needed, and make sure to stretch afterwards!
Stretchy, ribbed and made with dryCELL moisture-wicking properties that help keep you dry and comfortable.
Why are workout clothes so comfortable? I could live in them at all times of the day, every day. Actually, I kind of do. Oops.
This tank is no exception. This one runs a little big on me, but that doesn't stop me from wearing it. The shiny, ribbed material reminds me of a set of leotards I used to wear to dance conventions growing up. That doesn't really have anything to do with this review, but is fun to point out!
I did break a few sweats in it, and for what it's worth the dryCELL material helped keep me feeling fresh until I was able to change.
This is a powerCELL garment that fuses the benefits of engineered graduated compression with those of athletic tape. The garment's interior taping is placed in anatomically strategic positions, creating a next-to-skin layer that works with your body's natural systems. The tape provides micro-massage to help you maximize your workout and energy supply.
These compression tights literally feel like a second skin. They are super soft, stretchy, and have a built in gripped lining on the inside to keep everything in place. Besides in the workout shown above, I have worn these tights on multiple runs and trips to the gym. Loving them!
The FormLite XT Ultra is a sleeker, fitter version of its former self – and can keep up with your every crunch, bend, and kick. Evolved and geared for fit and flex, it's lightweight with an aerodynamic design. The form-fitting upper is equipped with breathable open mesh and hot-melt overlays for a slim-and-trim aesthetic. The midsole is cushioned with lightweight EVA, while rubber pods at the outsole provide grip. Finally, the feather-inspired outsole's cutouts create flex grooves which reduce weight and maximize performance.
This shoe is unlike any other fitness shoe I have seen before! (Did you SEE me bend it in half in the video?) Its flipping awesome.
And there you have my latest workout in my latest fitness gear. Exciting stuff!
Now go on and get your PUMA Fitness on!
*Disclaimer: The following post is sponsored by FitFluential LLC on behalf of PUMA Fitness. Although I was compensated for this review, all thoughts are honest and opinions are my own!
Love the Puma gear! A girl can never have too many workout tights in my opinion 😉 Great workout too!
Oh, never! I live in them!
I want those shoes! I just love that bright color :).
Loved the workout! The Puma sneakers remind me of my favorite Nike Free!
Workout looks great and those shoes are just SO cute!!
Thanks!! I really do love them.
Love the workout routine! I just discovered the side plank crunches… they do amazing things to my abs!
I know! This was a discovery that happened in Fitness Pilates class. LOVE them!


I have found this article extremely useful, informative and effective. Thanks for sharing. I can very much understand the fact that there are many people who are greatly concerned about gaining extra weight and are looking for ways to shed that. I have recently come across a fat loss system called "Fat Decimator System by Wes Virgin." I have personally tried that out at once and found it to be extremely useful and effective. Therefore I would definitely recommend it to others.
Wonderful post about water diet plan. I Like your post.
