Why A Good Work-Life Balance Is Better for Business
Author: Emma Way
Posting date: 8/15/2018 9:02 AM
Contrary to American sitcoms, work life balance isn't about sitting in coffee shops contemplating life and complaining about work. However, there are plenty of jobs where you can work from or in a coffee shop. The rise of virtual, remote, and contractual roles has contributed to the demand for work life balance. But, sometimes, in our tech-led world, where business can follow us anywhere, the balance becomes more about setting boundaries. It's about putting down our mobile phones, closing our laptops, and dipping our toes into other waters.
Where Does Your Country Fit on the Work-Life Balance Scale?
European countries have been leading the way with work-life balance for some time, with the Netherlands topping the list at number one. With the UK sitting at number 29 out of the 38 countries in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), what's tipping the scales?
13% of British employees work 50 or more hours per week versus 0.5% of people in the Netherlands work those long hours.
The average Brit is therefore only setting aside 14.9 hours for leisure and personal care (including eating and sleeping) a day versus those in the Netherlands who dedicate 15.9 hours.
Countries in the Nordics work a maximum of 48-hours per week. However, the reality is significantly lower, with the Finnish working an average of 36.2 hours a week, the Swedes 35.9 hours, Norwegians at 34 hours, and the Danes just 32 hours.
Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Norway, and Iceland have become renowned for fostering optimal work-life balance. But, though the Netherlands sits at the number one spot on the OECD, the Danes top the list as the happiest in the world.
The Danish welfare model, characterised by quality of life and a good work-life balance offers:
Flexible working conditions and social support networks, including maternity leave and childcare facilities.
A high degree of flexibility at work – often including adaptable start times and the ability to work from home.
Lunch breaks are often at a designated time each day, enabling colleagues to interact, eat together, and get away from their desks.
There is a minimum 5 weeks' paid holiday for all wage earners.
The Danish welfare society is characterised by quality of life and a good work-life balance.
Work-life balance for the Danes is a healthy balance of priorities. As important as career and ambition is, are is just as important to balance life outside work (pleasure, leisure, family, and health). This understanding of balance not only puts Denmark at the top of the international equality table, it also contributes to a generally high standard of living.
Further research shows 33% of working American adults work over the weekend and on holidays. This, in turn, has led 66% to say they don't feel they have a good work-life balance. One of the main drivers contributing to the need to always be "on" and available is 24/7 technology.
For example, if an employer emails, texts, or rings an employee at dinnertime, the employee often feels compelled to answer straightaway. While 57% of those surveyed feel technology has ruined the family dinner, 40% believe it is okay to answer an urgent call or email at the dinner table. So, it comes back to boundaries and not feeling guilty about 'switching off' for a few hours or a few days to 'recharge'.
What Companies are Doing to Improve Work-Life Balance
Nordic businesses remain at the top of the list for best work-life balance. Though much of it is dictated by strict Nordic Labour laws, companies outside the Nordics are beginning to take pages from their playbook.
At a business in Helsinki, Finland, employees are encouraged to go home on time at the end of their day. Often this falls around 5:00pm, though leaving earlier to say, go to a child's sports activity, is always a guilt-free option. Like many European businesses, employees also receive five weeks of paid vacation each year. Everyone gets stock options and teams are small with the ability to make autonomous decisions. The theory: this team is closest to the project, they know what is best for it. No management approval required, but only to help share in lessons learned.
Many Nordic businesses have shortened hours and a focus on family. By putting family first, businesses report improved productivity and innovation, less absenteeism, and reductions in staff turnover. Other benefits can include:
Ability to leave work 30-minutes early to pick up kids from school or take them to sports practice
Ability to use sick days to take care of sick children
Businesses regularly offer gym memberships, event discounts, leadership classes, and team-building exercises as well as opportunities for employees to take courses and further their education. At one business, in Sweden, for example, employees have access to a leisure centre and recreational activities such as fishing, tennis, and swimming.
Though everyone has their own definition of what work-life balance means to them, it can be difficult to follow without government mandates, like in some European countries, or if you're a small business. Our UK and Europe Salary Guide showed that, with over 98% of respondents working full time, at least some flexibility is now expected. We found that 53% of respondents work at home at least one day a week, and 56% have flexible working hours, highlighting that these 'benefits' are now becoming the norm.

Seven Ways To Minimise Unconscious Bias In Your Recruitment Process
When it comes to the recruitment process, organisations will often take different approaches to securing their next hire. Yet, one challenge that remains the same across the board is the ubiquitous nature of unconscious bias. This typically means that individuals will favour those that look or think similarly to themselves. Not only is the potential for prejudice to arise an alarming issue here, but the impacts of unconscious bias can also have a detrimental effect on the hiring process, in both the short and long term. You could face missing out on a highly skilled and qualified candidate, as well as damaging opportunities for improving the diversity of the business. In order to address unconscious bias, organisations really need to take a moment to reflect and challenge their perceptions on the positive and the negative implications. Our own research demonstrates the opportunities of bolstering not only a diverse team in Data and Analytics, but an inclusive one too. Here are some core ways in which organisations can challenge and adapt their processes: Check your job descriptions It's one of the simplest changes to make, but far too often overlooked. Many of us will use gender coded language without even realising it. It is therefore critical that all job descriptions are neutral, and that descriptive language is removed. Masculine-coded words such as 'confident' and 'guru' and feminine-coded words such as 'understanding' and 'modest' can really discourage individuals from applying for positions. Make use of panel-based interviews Over the past year, we've all become accustomed to a much more virtual way of working, which includes the recruitment process. Our reliance on technology now plays an integral role in how we interview, test and hire candidates. When interviewing candidates, organisations should involve a range of different people (even if this is just in an observational role), as they may challenge your preconceptions and provide an alternative viewpoint. Instead of only involving the CEO and Managing Director, for example, make sure you have individuals from other departments and areas within the team sitting in too. Interviews should instead focus on skills-based tasks In order to minimise the unconscious bias that permeates the recruitment process across industries, interviews need to focus on skills-based tasks. Importantly, hiring managers should be assessing the suitability for a role, so practical, skills-focused tasks are important in establishing this. Appoint an external inclusion agency If you're stuck for where to start when it comes to improving the ways in which you plan and execute your hiring strategies, it could be worthwhile to seek support from an external agency or individual that specialises in inclusion. Their insights, experiences and knowledge will be able to support an organisation to ensure that their hiring process minimises the impacts of unconscious bias. Facilitating discussions and training In the same way that liaising with external experts can support an organisation, so to can introducing training sessions. Stamping out unconscious bias requires us all to challenge our ways of thinking to create an inclusive culture for all. Regardless of whether this is during the recruitment process, through onboarding or once an individual is working within the business, facilitating discussions and training can help. It should be noted though, that generalised training to minimise unconscious bias training isn't always effective, so this should be assessed and planned according to relevant objectives and goals. Advertise roles through different channels To ensure that you are reaching a diverse pool of talent, hiring managers should ensure that positions are advertised across a range of different platforms. It may be the case that highly skilled professionals from different backgrounds do not all source new positions through the same websites or streams. Improving this access will ensure that you are not selecting candidates from the same pool of talent. Set specific diversity and inclusion goals It's crucial to remember that taking steps to minimise and remove these biases is just one part of a much bigger challenge that organisations are facing in order to action change. Firms need to assess their long-term diversity and inclusion goals in order to ensure that removing biases is part of an embedded strategy. Internal strategies must be reviewed and assessed in order to ensure that the approach to the recruitment process provides equal and fair access and opportunities for all to thrive. In the Data and Analytics sector, it's key for leaders to take action to mandate some core strategies to engage and include a diverse team of talent.

Habitat Young Professionals
Why Buy a Home
Home$mart Post-Purchase Education
Rules and regulations about land and building have a major effect on access to housing. In places where there are smart policies in place, there is more access to decent housing. In places where there are uniformed policies and systems, there can be barriers that make it difficult for people to find land for construction, build the home itself, or be able to afford a place to live.
Here in the nation's capital, volunteers have a unique opportunity to advocate for Habitat at both the local AND national levels by urging elected representatives to D.C. government and U.S. Congress to support access to housing. Tell them you're concerned about the need for more affordable housing — owned and rented — here and across the country. Express your support for government funding to help create homeownership opportunities for lower-income working families. And support other policies that impact the availability of decent, affordable homes for those who need them.
Advocate Locally
In D.C., there are already a number of great organizations you can join and support who are working to meet the housing needs of low-income families. We work closely with the following groups and organizations to achieve our policy goals:
The Coalition for Nonprofit Housing and Economic Development (CNHED) — CNHED leads nonprofit community development organizations in ensuring that residents with low and moderate incomes have housing and economic opportunities in neighborhoods throughout the District.
Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) — The mission of the Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) is to create and preserve opportunities for affordable housing and economic development and to revitalize underserved communities in the District of Columbia.
DC Affordable Housing Alliance — The DC Affordable Housing Alliance is a coalition of organizations and individuals concerned about the availability of affordable housing in the District of Columbia. They are dedicated to promoting policies, programs, and resources that support the successful development, preservation, and operation of housing and related programs and services.
Housing Advocacy Team (HAT) — The mission of HAT is to join with others to create a constituency of concerned neighbors and friends who will act as a powerful voice to influence public policy and resource allocation for affordable housing and asset building in the District, with a particular focus on affordable homeownership.
Rallies & Meetings
Advocate in the U.S.
To help change housing policies that have an impact on all Americans, you can support Habitat for Humanity by signing petitions to let lawmakers know that you stand for affordable housing, attending Habitat on the Hill, Habitat's annual legislative conference here in D.C., and by using Habitat's advocacy toolkits to promote access to decent, affordable housing.
Advocate with Habitat
Advocate Globally
No matter where you live or what you live in, you depend on land for shelter. Without land, there can be no housing, and adequate housing is the key to stability and opportunity. Today, 1.6 billion people worldwide do not have access to adequate housing — that's 1 in every 5 people. The good news is that we can change that — with your help. Habitat for Humanity's Solid Ground campaign is improving the way people access land globally to ensure that more people have an adequate home by changing the policies, laws and systems at all levels of government that are standing in the way.
Join Solid Ground
Learn why advocacy is important to our volunteers
I was initially nervous that my efforts would have an impact, but supporting DC Habitat through advocacy helped me meet my leaders and representative (a highlight!) and revitalized my interest in the social justice fight for affordable housing.
Tori Vogel
DC Habitat Volunteer
Habitat on the HIll was one of the greatest experiences I've had with Habitat. I learned how to make my voice heard, met Habitat supporters from across the country, and learned more about how housing policies affect families all over the U.S.
Paul Stanford
DC Habitat Young Professionals Member
I advocate because everyone has a voice that should be heard to shape policy on issues they're passionate about. I believe having a safe, decent, and affordable home provides safety, stability, and a sense of accomplishment to our partner families, giving them a foundation to build their lives on. I choose to use my voice to help make sure that mission is able to continue and grow.

The Good The Bad & The Scarred - My Story Part 4
Peeling Back The Layers - The Prelude
The Good, The Bad & The Scarred - My Story Part 1
Before we go on any further, I just want to say thank you. Thank you so much for allowing me to share this story with you and for your patience with what is quite an epic saga.
I think that's why I have never really shared the full story with anyone apart from my husband before - because it is so freaking long and drawn out with one drama after another, to the point that even I as I wrote this was all "Seriously? There's still more?"
But please, don't feel sorry for me as there really is no need. This isn't intended to be a sob story in any way shape or form because despite the hiccups I have also had a very blessed life. Yes there has been shit that has happened, but we all go through shit don't we? That's just a part of life and yet there is so much goodness too, as long as we don't let the past blind us from seeing it.
Opening up and writing about all of this has been the most therapeutic thing I have ever done. With every part of the story I tell, I also release it. I have let go of any pain or anger I have attached to the memories and it's now gone, in the past where it belongs and it no longer holds any power over me.
We are nearly there.
My poor husband. I can only imagine what was going through his head when he got out of the surf to find my Dad waiting to tell him I had fallen… again.
Back at home, I was in a complete state of disbelief. I felt ill in the stomach from the familiar sickening pain coming from the leg and I was shaking so much from the shock that I could barely speak.
Kai who was five lept into action. He put a beanbag under my head and covered me with a blanket. Sammy who was two, sat next to me on the floor patting me and saying "you OK Mummy? Mummy you OK?"
"I think we need an ambulance" I mumbled to Kai, and bless that little guy he grabbed the phone and dialled 000.
He then went and checked that Flynn was still OK upstairs and then waited at the front door to let the ambulance officers into the house and show them where I was.
He was so calm and knew instinctively what to do. He really will make the most amazing Doctor one day.
So it turned out pretty much how we expected - my good leg was now screwed and required reconstruction. Thankfully we already had the best Doctor I could ever wish for on our team and I had complete faith in him that he could do once again what he had done for us before. I mean, this was my good leg so surely it would be easier to fix than the other one right?
What I hadn't thought about was the rehabilitation side of things. I had no idea how hard it would be to get back on your feet when both of your legs are stuffed.
But our awesome team got to work. Our surgeon screwed everything back together, grafting muscle and bone to rebuild a functioning leg. Our physio pushed me to my limits but knew when to stop and let me cry it out. And my chiropractor gave my twisted spine relief whenever I needed it.
I am still completely in awe of that team. Not once did they ever give up on me or give us any reason to doubt that we could do it again.
And Carl… oh Carl. Have I told you all how truly blessed I am to have that man in my life?
I mean I could tell you a zillion times and it would not do him justice. People always tend to feel sorry for the person who has the accident or is going through something traumatic, but the ones we should really feel for are the loved ones who support that person through it all.
Man they are heroes.
Once again Carl took the reigns and he was Mum, Dad, carer, cook, chauffeur, nurse and cleaner. He quit his job so that he could care for us all, including our 3 month old baby.
We were quite the sight. Because it was such a production to get around with the wheelchair and 3 little ones, the rehab team would come to our house daily to work with me. It was easier that way, but holy smokes it meant that there were days where we felt like caged animals. So once a week, Carl would pack us all up and take us to the local shops where we were pretty much a five man travelling circus.
Carl would push me in the wheelchair and Kai would with sit on my lap or stand on the toddler board on the pram and I would push Flynn and Sam in their double pram.
It was hilarious and people would stop in their tracks and stare at us and even take photos on their phone as we ploughed our way through like a multi carriage train.
Sometimes people felt sorry for us and offered to help, but most of the time people saw we were laughing and just laughed along with us. We much preferred the laughing over any sympathy. Sympathy doesn't help anyone, but laughter? That shit is good for the soul.
I honestly don't know how we would have survived it all without Carl. I will be grateful to eternity and beyond for that precious man. My boys are so blessed to have him as their Dad, I am even more blessed to have him as my husband and best friend.
Not once did he complain. Seriously, not once.
He literally did everything and more, including coaching the kids soccer team, helping out my parents and our friends with everything and anything, looking after other people kids in the holidays and after school and he even volunteered as the handy man at our preschool.
If you think I sound like I am bragging a little on his behalf, you are right. I totally am. Because he wouldn't brag, not even for a moment as he is the most humble and down to earth guy you could meet.
I was the proudest woman alive the day he was chosen as a finalist in the NSW Community Father of the Year Awards at Parliament house.
A month after the accident I came off maternity leave and started working again from home. It was pointless me being on maternity leave given that Carl was now a full time carer and besides I was pretty much useless. A fat lot of good I was as a mother when I couldn't get up to tend to my children, couldn't protect them from danger and couldn't go to them or pick them up if they were hurt or just needed reassurance.
I started piling on the weight. Not surprising given I was sitting on my ass in a wheelchair all day and at night I sat on my ass and drank bourbon.
I don't know when the laughter stopped. It was there one day and then it kind of just disappeared.
We were embroiled in a court case over the accident and things were starting to heat up. The other side were sending us to Doctor after Doctor to be reviewed and scrutinised. We travelled all over Sydney where I was stripped to my undies by unsympathetic Doctors who didn't know me and didn't really care.
Just like when I was that 15 year old girl, I was prodded and poked by these strangers as they tried to downplay the damage they were reporting on. I had opposing psychologists that would reduce me to tears like they were trying to get me to say it was all just an act, I wasn't really injured and I was just making it all up.
They were just doing their job.
We had private investigators following us on and off filming me whenever we left the house. I felt trapped both physically and emotionally and it was awful, soul crushingly awful.
On numerous occasions I threatened to pull the plug on the lawsuit. I never wanted to go through it in the first place and it was only after my family pointed out to me how selfish I was being by allowing Carl and our boys to be financially crippled by this accident and our ongoing costs that I agreed to take action.
But I felt like I was constantly being punished for that decision every time the opposing legal team sent me to yet another humiliating meeting with one of their legal Docs. But that's the game. They want you to feel beaten and worn out and exhausted, because if you've had enough and call it quits - they win.
There are no personal feelings involved. It's just how it works.
Almost a year after the accident I was back on my feet with the use of a walking stick. If I sound less than enthusiastic this time, it is because I honestly just wasn't that excited. I apologise as I know how God damn ungrateful that sounds, but I was over it all and just wanted our life to go back to normal.
In a bid for normality I returned to the office with the use of my dreaded attention drawing walking stick. I hated that stick and everything it represented. I hated it almost as much as I hated the agonising hour long drive to work each day.
By the time I arrive at the office my legs were like tree trunks and would be having nerve and muscle spasms. I refused to take the pain killers at work as they made me groggy and caused me to slur my words. You know, just what every corporate work place needs - a resident slurring cripple.
And so I'd work through until lunchtime and then often I would escape to the car park where I would lie in the back of my car and sleep. The alarm on my phone would wake me after 30 minutes and I would go back upstairs and continue working, often much longer than normal work hours as I was procrastinating about the drive home.
When I was at home, all I ever wanted to do was sleep. Sleep provided the much needed peace I was craving and when I was asleep there was no pain, no accident and no law suit. Just peaceful codeine induced sleep.
I went to pain clinics and listened to them tell me about various programs I could go on which included a combination of cognitive therapy, pain killers and nerve block injections (kind of like epidurals) which would numb my legs. Totally useless if you need to drive to work each day or hold out any hope of being at least a semi useless wife and mother. And so I said thanks but no thanks and continued with my daytime Panadol and nightly pain killers and sleeping tablets.
I was turning into one cranky big stressed out bundle of nerves.
I was more miserable than I had ever been in my life and all I wanted to do was sleep.
More than ever I felt fat and ugly and useless. I worried that Carl would one day wake up and decide he had had enough of me and leave. I worried that my kids were missing out on having a normal mother. I worried that my friends would get sick of me not wanting to leave the house and give up on me. I worried that somehow we would lose the court case and end up owing thousands and thousands in legal fees and medical bills. I worried we would lose our home.
But I was good at putting on a smile and faking it. At home, at work and everywhere, I wore the biggest fattest fakest smile I could muster.
You can only fake it so long before the cracks begin to appear, and appear they did. More and more I withdrew from everyone close to me, my husband and family included.
One morning on the day of yet another legal appointment with a Doctor from the opposing side, I walked my kids into school. They ran ahead as I shuffled along with my walking stick smiling at everyone I made eye contact with. A mum I knew walked up next to me and said "It's always so nice to see you at school Sonia, you always look so happy." I rewarded her with the big smile she was expecting, kissed the boys good bye and headed back to my car where I sat and sobbed for Lord knows how long.
I don't recall much about the appointment that day, but I do remember shaking in the passenger seat the whole hour long drive home. I don't think I spoke to Carl at all during that drive. I just sat and stared numbly out the window while I shaked.
When we arrived home, we were met with a big fat pile of legal documents I was expected to read through and sign. I carried the documents out to the table in the garden where Carl was sitting. He looked at me curiously like he was waiting for me to say something and then it happened...
I started shaking to the point that I couldn't hold anything. I dropped the documents and I began to wail. I was overcome by an inconsolable hopelessness unlike anything I had ever felt before and in one single moment I let go.
All the different versions that ever existed of me, the daughter, the friend, the tough girl, the lonely girl, the glowing bride, the besotted mother, the smiley school mum, the business woman… they all disappeared in a breath and were replaced by a sad empty shaking shell.
My fight was gone and I was spent.
We were officially at rock bottom.

Tension rises in deadlock over captured Jordanian pilot
Date January 31 2015
AMMAN - More than 48 hours after a Thursday sunset deadline on a hostage exchange, Jordanians are no closer to welcoming their pilot home – or even knowing if he is alive.
Negotiations are reported to be deadlocked after Jordan insisted it would not release death row inmate Sajida al-Rishawi to Islamic State militants in exchange for Japanese journalist Kenji Goto unless its pilot, Lieutenant Mu'ath al-Kassasbeh, was included in the deal.
IS has not offered the pilot as part of any deal, but Jordanian officials have made clear that no deal is possible without him.
Jordan has demanded a proof of life in order to continue negotiations, but despite rumours, none has yet been verified.
On Friday, after a day of tensions, demonstrations and rising anger about Jordan's role in the US-led coalition against IS, Jordan kicked the ball back into the militant group's court. An unnamed government source told IS that if the captured pilot was not released, it would execute all death row inmates with connections to the group.
This has moved negotiations into a deadlock, with each side appearing to be waiting for the other to move first.
IS took another swipe at Jordan's stability on Saturday, releasing a video that appears to show the interrogation and beheading of a Syrian man who fought with the Free Syrian Army, and allegedly acted as an informant to the Jordanian security services.
Experts said the man, named as Hagirat, was caught by IS in Syria in September, but that the video's release seemed deliberately designed to stir up discord in Jordan at a time when anxieties around the kingdom's pro-Western stance were beginning to bubble over.
Lt Kassasbeh's family, from a prominent southern tribe, has made clear it opposes Jordan's participation in the coalition. "This is not our war," his brother Jawdat told MEE. The pilot's father, Safi, threatened that "Jordan would rock" if his son were not returned.
This week, several MPs including Hind al-Fayez expressed their solidarity with the family's position - and their opposition to the war. On Saturday, outside the diwan for the sons of Karak, the pilot's hometown, supporters clapped and chanted: "Down with dependency on the West, the coalition is unpure!"
For Jordanian leaders, the job has become twofold: not just to rescue a son of Jordan lost at war, but to settle rising anger over the country's decision to take part in that war in the first place.

Q: How to add iptables rule to redirect http(s) traffic for specific service only (OpenVPN) and not affect another services (Apache2 etc)? I have own VPS (Ubuntu 18). I have there runned Apache2 and OpenVPN servers. Also I have there Squid proxy that I want to use with OpenVPN to intercept traffic and change headers like user-agent.
To manage iptables I use firewall-cmd.
I want to redirect http(s) traffic only for OpenVPN server and not affect Apache2 traffic. How can I do this ? How can I add port forwarding rule for specific service only?
Thanks in advance!

A: I am assuming that you have some sort of website for OpenVPN management,
or using OpenVPN Access Server that has web management and wanted OpenVPN ti only captures VPN connection.
For OpenVPN, you can use the option by appending the 'port-share' in the server conf
port-share 127.0.0.1 443 for the web port on 443
For OpenVPN Access Server
/usr/local/openvpn_as/scripts/sacli -k vpn.server.port_share.enable -v true configput
/usr/local/openvpn_as/scripts/sacli -k vpn.server.port_share.ip_address -v 127.0.0.1 configput
/usr/local/openvpn_as/scripts/sacli -k vpn.server.port_share.port -v 443 configput
/usr/local/openvpn_as/scripts/sacli start
This will make the OpenVPN capture the non-VPN traffic to 127.0.0.1:443 so squid can capture the rest of all through 443, I answered 443 because it works on all situations I mentioned above since I quite didn't understand the question in detail. Plus, no extra iptables needed on OpenVPN.
Thus, you can change the port to anything that you set on squid.

Q: How to use react setState with chrome API I want to use react's setState with chrome API but I'm running into an issue...
componentDidMount() {

    chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener(function(request, sender) {
        if (request.action == "getSource") {
            this.setState({sourceCode: request.source});
        }
    });
}

I tried the following but chrome API does not recognize setState as a function, so then I tried to first save request.source as a variable...
componentDidMount() {
    var source = "";
    chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener(function(request, sender) {
        if (request.action == "getSource") {
            source = request.source;
        }
    });
    this.setState({sourceCode: source});
}

But when I try the following, source remains an empty string. I cannot figure out why since source is being set to request.source. How can I fix this?
EDIT
I am calling a script as so...
chrome.tabs.executeScript(null, {
        file: 'src/js/scripts/getPageSource.js'
     }, function() {
     ...

and inside the script I have the following...
chrome.runtime.sendMessage({
    action: "getSource",
    source: DOMtoString(document)
});

Where DOMtoString function simply returns a string. It is the caught by my componentDidMount which I have verified by printing to the console inside the if statement.
It has come to my attention that the addListener is asynchronous. Is there any way I can save the result in the state?

A: You need to bind this so it is unchanged in the event listener
chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener(function(request, sender) {
    if (request.action == "getSource") {
        this.setState({sourceCode: request.source});
    }
}.bind(this));

Your second attempt doesn't work because the callback is asynchronous. You need to call setState when the callback returns. In your second attempt, you register for the listener but then immediately call setState.
Edit:
Alternatively, you could switch to using arrow functions instead. This would lexically bind this so it would be unchanged.
chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener((request, sender) => {
    if (request.action == "getSource") {
        this.setState({sourceCode: request.source});
    }
});

The Association for Women Insurance (Qld) were pleased to host more than 110 guests at our annual International Women's Day Luncheon on 8 March 2016.
The views from QUT's Room Three Sixty provided a magnificent backdrop for professional networking and reflection on women's issues that impact on our industry.
International Women's Day is recognized globally and provides a forum to celebrate the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. This year, organizers used the occasion to make a call to action for accelerating gender parity. We were reminded that we each have an important role to play in making parity the norm for future generations of women.
We were pleased to welcome back Allianz as the event sponsor.


The U.S Department of Energy reports that 20% of our electric bills come from items that are left plugged in when they are not in use, or items that are in standby mode. With the Kill A Watt P4400 we can monitor the energy eaters in our homes and cut down our electric bills at the same time. Plug whatever item you want into the device and it will tell you the efficiency of that item by displaying the kilowatt per hour. This device will help you determine which items are costing you the most to run. The Kill A Watt also calculates voltage, line frequency, current, and power factor. You can calculate your electric bill before you even receive it from the electric company.


The RightoftheDot.com extended auction from the Namescon conference ends on Namejet.com tomorrow afternoon starting around 3pm EST and closes in staggered fashion until around 5pm EST subject to Namejet's normal closing rules.
As of publication there are over 125 domain names that have hit reserve (or had no reserve) and have 1 or more bids that will sell tomorrow.
Any domain name that did not sell in the Live Domain name auction which generated around $1.5 million in sales plus 200 hundred + domain names that were not selected for the limited live auction are up for grabs.
Only 33 domain names out of the over 300 domain names in the extended auction do not have a bid.
Mike what are the 33 with no bids?
Great names, its going to be an interesting auction.
How should bidders know what are renewal costs of new gTLD domain names they are bidding for? Imagine you win an auction for $1,000, but domain's renewal cost is $20,000. What a victory, right? Without such information it is unreasonable gambling.
There are no $20K a year renewal fees in the auction.
The .car domain has no premium fee its the normal renewal fee and yes there are 700+ extensions plus ccTLD's and the registration/renewal fees are all different so like with anything else you have to do know what your buying.
How much is renewal cost for Z.PUB name?
degree.com sure is a pretty name.

Desiccation of roots and rhizomes by summer fallowing was a traditional method of controlling wandering perennials in Europe. The soil was plowed and allowed to dry into clods. These were stirred occasionally with a plow or heavy cultivator to completely desiccate roots and rhizomes (Bates, 1948; Travers, 1950). Foster (1989) indicated that the same procedure can be used to manage Rumex obtusifolius and R. crispus.
In Botswana, Phillips (1993) found that an extra moldboard plowing substantially reduced subsequent growth of Cynodon dactylon and increased sorghum grain yield, especially if it occurred during the dry season when tillage promoted desiccation of rhizomes. Similarly, in Nicaragua Vargas et al. (1990) found that plowing dry soil at the end of a four-month dry season caused Cyperus rotundus tubers to die of desiccation. This greatly reduced shoot density of the weed in the subsequent crop (Figure 4.2).
In regions with cold winters, some perennial weeds can be killed by freezing damage to the perennating organs. Schimming & Messersmith (1988) studied the temperatures required to kill overwintering perennial buds of four species. Cirsium arvense suffered 90% mortality at -12 °C, but the other species were more cold tolerant. Since minimum soil temperature increases with depth, effective exposure of roots and rhizomes to lethal temperatures requires working these organs to the surface. Development of winter hardiness in the autumn is an energy-consuming activity, and thus forcing resprouting by autumn cultivation may increase sensitivity to freezing (Schimming & Messersmith, 1988).

Marie Kondo also has a book out on simplifying your space which I can highly recommend: The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up. Between these two very practical guides, and pulling from other space management gurus and established leaders, we can derive some simple guidelines to making your space livable again and, perhaps most importantly, keeping it that way.
No, seriously. You may have challenges of body, mind or motivation; you may even be soul-weary. However, not being able to move around your home, not being able to find what you are looking for and not being able to have any place to comfortably rest your body, or even your eyes, may be contributing to the problem. Imagine the mental energy spent navigating through the mess, the physical energy spent weaving and dodging through too many obstacles, or moving heaps of stuff around as you search for what you want in the morass of clutter, the motivation energy spent just trying to convince yourself that it's worth trying to make it through the Chaos Web. In this case, though, actually CLEARING the space is our goal and so when we are done, we will no longer need to navigate through an obstacle course; we will be able to find what we are looking for if we own it; and just moving and BREATHING in our space will be lighter, easier and fresher.
Of course the motivationally challenged will say, "Jack, are you CRAZY!? There's too much to do and I will never get through it all!" I am not asking you to do it all at once… we'll be moving in phases of 20 minutes at a time with rests in between and we will NOT be doing any marathons. MARATHONS ARE BAD, MMMKAY? SHOULDN'T DO MARATHONS. So stand up, take a deep breath, and MOVE. AS Rachel Hoffman makes very clear on her website: EXCUSES ARE BORING.
And she is right… Excuses change nothing and change is exciting; instead, let make some excitement.
In Biology we learned that a pupa was a necessary stage in the transformation of a caterpillar to a butterfly. In our case, the transformation also requires a pupa… or PUPA, actually, which stands for "Pick Up, Put Away!" When I am talking about transformation here, I am not talking the full transformation, but rather the basic levels of transformation that prepares your space for the bigger changes. Even the Butterfly is not done transforming when it casts off the pupa, but it is a necessary step in the process before it can stretch its wings and fly!
Ignore those second areas for the moment and find a place where your eye comes to rest and look at that area first.
Is this area filled with things that belong other places and you know exactly where they go?
Often times this area will be like the dining room table or living room coffee table… things covering the flat/level surfaces, chairs strewn about the table but not pushed in, blocking the flow of foot traffic around the table, jackets slung over the chair corners and purses/satchels/backpacks/book bags set helter-skelter wherever they fell when you dropped them. However it can be any kind of area where there is a more or less open flow of activity through the area. Even the most dedicated hoarders have traffic zones and dead-zones. We will be staying away from the dead-zones for now and clearing out the traffic areas so that you can move around and breathe.
Start with a timer set for 20 minutes (or, if 20 minutes is too much to handle for any reason whatsoever: it's too overwhelming, can't sustain attention that long , 20 minutes of activity is too much for the body…. whatever reason at all, then set it for 10 minutes. It may be a stretch, but you can do 10 minutes) and be prepared to be active during this time period.
Then, notice any random item in the limited space of interest (coffee table, shelf, half or less of the Dining Room table). Actually notice it. Look at it; look at how it doesn't belong where it is… how it interrupts the flow of traffic, or it seems to be out of sorts with the surrounding area… the color is off or the rhythm of the space is interrupted… whatever reason you can find in your own mind, notice it and let that sink in for a second… take a second to notice how it feels inside… how it contributes to the inner sense of disorder and then….
Pick it up and put it away where it belongs. If where it belongs is now blocked, unblock the space in the most efficient way possible, and put the selected item away.
Now take a moment to be satisfied with doing that one thing. You put something away. You did, indeed, put something away where it belongs. It was a simple task… a single task… and yet it was profound. The chaos around you was made a bit less by that single act. You hung up a jacket, or collected up all the coasters and put them together in one place, or maybe you gathered up a couple of books and put them back on the shelf where they belong. Whatever it is you did, take a few seconds to savor the accomplishment… it's a tiny one and we are going to do it again in a moment, but for this few seconds, just savor the moment and congratulate yourself. The Human brain needs some sort of reward to make an action worth doing again and since we are going to be doing this a LOT throughout the rest of our lives, we want it to be rewarding, so don't skimp on the savoring your own job well done. Once you have allowed yourself a few seconds to savor the completion of the task, turn around to your selected space and do it again… pick something, notice it and let the wrongness of its placement sink in, then put it away and savor the completion of the task. Then do it again: Notice, Pick up, put away, savor completion. Then do it again. Until the timer goes off… then rest for half as long as you worked, so for 20 minutes of PUPA tasks, take a 10 minute break… and actually take the break! Seriously, you cannot skimp on this one either. Having done the 20 minutes straight up (or 10 minutes with a 5 minute break), you need to give your mind a rest, let it absorb the change that you have made in your space so that you can remap things in your head, and also to savor the accomplishment (the brain really needs those "attaboys/attagirls", so give them to yourself). OK… Now most of you will want to do another 20/10 tight away, and that's good… but if you don't, that's OK too… you may need more time to assimilate the change, or to gear up for what you think is going to be the battle of a lifetime with the rest of your space… so if you only do one 20/10 on the space in a given day, that's fine. What I am going to say, though, may surprise you: I don't recommend more than four 20/10 sessions (2 hours) of working on this. As Rachel says, "Marathons are bad… don't do marathons." The space did not get so fucked overnight, so it isn't going to be unfucked overnight. The PUPA phase is for making sure that the low hanging fruit gives us some victories to fuel the more arduous tasks ahead, and to make the space a little easier to move around in. It lets you clear off a space where your eye can rest and you can let yourself be re-inspired to move through this… if you can do it with a small space, you just need to keep doing it over and over again to spread that "cleared space" feeling into the larger area. As your space becomes less and less chaotic, you can move around easier, you can take positive feelings from looking at the tidy space, and you can enjoy the mental clarity that comes from not being bombarded with "shoulds" from your inner critic every time you look at your living space (you know… I should put that away; I should vacuum that rug; I should wipe off that counter top, etc.).
PUPA Recap: Pick an area that your eye can rest on… Set a timer for no more than 20 minutes. Notice some specific thing that is out-of-place. Pick it up. Put it away. Savor having done something for yourself to cut the Chaos Web. Repeat until the timer runs out then set the timer for half the active time and rest/recover. Repeat the 20/10 cycle, if you like, for no more than 2 hours.
Having a "put away" place in your home for the item, where it can live in its home when it is not being used.
Putting it in its home and not just anywhere you can drop it when you are done using it.
Appreciating and maintaining it so that it is in its best condition to do whatever it does in your space.
Some stuff is for utility, other stuff is for decoration, and still other stuff is entertainment. Each of these kinds of things has a proper kind of place for it. Utility items are often sequestered behind closed doors until it is time to use them. Decorative items, however, belong where they can be seen. Hybrid items (Useful things that are also pretty) can have an easily accessible place in the view-space; examples of this would be an ornamental basket that can also be used to serve hot bread at a dinner party or a nice quilt or stylish blanket that can be folded and laid over the arm of a couch, ready to be used on a chilly night. Entertainment items (such as a television or gaming system), might live behind a cabinet door, but would be available for use just opening the cabinet, or may be given center stage if the item fits the aesthetics of the room. Just remember that everything has to have a "put away" place so that the Chaos Web doesn't get a foothold.
Another way of respecting our things is to actualize their purpose.
If a thing is for utility, it should be used. Regularly. Possibly often. Utility items, like vacuum cleaners, dishwashers, coasters, bed sheets, flashlights, car keys, office supplies and so forth, are here to be used. They exist to be used. Their entire reason for being is to be utilized, celebrated for performing their functions, and when they reach the end of their usefulness, released to be larger process of "post consumer land", which is another way of saying let it go to the trash in whatever form is appropriate to the item and your community. Replace the item if you still need its utility, and give it a "put away" space in your house that is reflective of its nature.
Decorative items exist to be pretty and to contribute to the aesthetics and style of your space. Decorative items are an expression of your style and displaying them is the best way of respecting them. Giving them a space in your home that allows them to contribute to the overall feel of the space is respectful of the piece itself and of the Artist that created or designed it. Too many pieces of art tends to create a jumble of overwhelming impressions that takes away from each individual piece. There is, for each person's style and space, an optimum number of decorative items in the area. Too few and you're understating your space. Too many, and each additional piece of decor actually reduces the impact of itself and all other pieces. Eventually, with too much decor, there is an effect called visual saturation where the individual pieces are no longer seen for themselves and the overall effect is one of chaos and overwhelm.
Entertainment Items are there to entertain. Like utility items, they may live behind a door or other kind of screening, but when they are being used, they should be the center of attention. Unlike decorative items, participation in entertainment items is more active. Entertainment usually is not intended to create a stylistic statement in the space, but rather provide for engagement of the mind, emotions or body in a more participatory way. Respecting your entertainment items, again, starts with it having a "put away" space. If you bring something into your home, it is only respectful to give it a space to live and to fulfill its function.
So, with all that said, if we have accumulated more stuff than we have "put away" space for, or more stuff than we can actually use, or more stuff than we can reasonably maintain with the limits of time, space and ability… if we have more things than we can reasonably expect to use on a regular basis during the course of a year of activities… if we have gathered more "treasures" than we can reasonably display in such a way that each bauble can be celebrated on its own, then the most respectful thing we can do is to let the item go to someone who CAN use it regularly and WANTS to do so.
You can gift items to people that really love them and would respect them in their own homes.
You can donate them to charity to be resold or distributed in the name of a good cause.
If they are too worn or otherwise unsuitable to carry their function forward to another user, then sometimes, the most respectful thing you can do for a tired, worn out item is to let it go to the Great Beyond.
Nostalgia is not your friend.
In the movie Labyrinth (if you haven't seen it yet, you should watch it! GREAT MOVIE!), there is a scene where the heroine of the story is being distracted from her mission by an old ragwoman with a HUGE pack on her back who keeps handing the young girl things such as a treasured teddy bear or a favored doll, a favorite blanket from infancy or a preferred brush. As the items begin to collect, there is a sense of impending danger… as if the innocuous items themselves are foretelling doom… and they are. The items are a distraction and the attachment of nostalgia is fueling the "stuckness" that could spell disaster for her mission. Keep this scene in mind whenever you encounter nostalgia in your process of releasing. It is tempting to keep something "for old time's sake", even if the item in question is no longer serviceable, entertaining or aesthetically pleasing. Some small amounts of Nostalgia help us to stay in touch with who we have been in the past and does serve a purpose in a healthy psychological sense; however, such things should not occupy more than a very small amount of space in your life, and so in your space. Treasured touchstones that serve no other purpose than to be reminders of bygone lessons in life are important, but should not ever take up more than about 3-5% of the space we devote to things in our lives. More than that tends to smack of holding on to the past instead of learning from it and moving on with reminders of the lessons learned.
"Practical Saving" is also not your friend.
Living in the Rust Belt, "I might have a use for this someday!" is something I often hear from my spouse, relatives, friends… The Great Depression came in 1929 and never ever left. I mean, the economy improved and jobs returned, but the poverty mindset of "I might need this someday" never left. The problem I have with this idea, though, is that every item you save for a "might need this" moment represents multiple costs at the same time.
There is the initial cost of square footage. You pay rent/mortgage/taxes on your space, which means that every square inch of flat level surface in that space has a dollars-and-cents monthly cost… the item that takes up space needs to be worth the amount of money spent on that space over the time that it occupies that space to make it worth saving.
Then there is what I call the Seeker's Cost. This item is likely be in with a lot of other items that are being saved for that unpredictable moment when its owner can say (Because this is always the fantasy of people who engage in this type of saving… they imagine that this item will make them a hero or will save them time effort and energy or whatever), "I have just the thing for this!" Of course, to find it, to get your hands on the thing you need, unless you have invested in the time to create and more importantly maintain an organization system for a zillion things that just might be useful someday, you will have to search for it… and search for it… I know it's around here somewhere… <shuffle stuff from place to place looking for it>. How long is it worth it to search for the lost item? How much is your time worth before it makes more sense to just go buy another one? And if you DO have an OCD style categorical library of items, how much time is devoted to maintaining it and can your time be better used on other things? (See Unfucking Your Schedule for on this).
THEN, there is the opportunity cost. Space taken up by one thing is space that cannot be occupied by another thing. As your space fills up, you begin to have less and less room for things that will be truly useful in a predictable fashion. This one is pretty simple. Once again, every added item to the collection reduces the effectiveness of itself and every other item in the collection because you can't see a single thing because of all the chaos.
Finally, there is the cost in terms of feeding the Chaos Web. Having all that stuff, while it may alleviate the anxiety of not having the perfect thing you need in the moment you need it, it doesn't really provide the perfect thing at the perfect time because often you cannot put your hands on the item, it's been eating up rent-space, or it's blocking your view of the thing you are looking for… it takes time to find, or it adds to the time it takes to find something else, and having that many things to search through is a major contributor of time loss on even basic tasks where "I know I have it around here somewhere" becomes a mantra.
Allowing things to go, releasing them to the Universe is an act of Trust. And Trust (or lack of it) is ultimately the the cause of such "saving" behaviors. There is often an underlying belief that when you need something, it will not be there for you and you won't be able to acquire one and you don't have the ability to cope without it. What is often more true though, is that the item will never be needed, and if it is, then you will be able to acquire a new one, and if you aren't able to acquire a new one then you will be able to cope with the situation by asking a friend, or by improvising, or even by doing an end run around the entire situation and negating the need for the item altogether through creative problem solving. Either way, your space is freed up, and so is your mind.
Apply the "Hell Yes!" or "No" principle.
So how do we tell what is worth keeping and what should no longer be given space in our space?
Most Space Management Gurus use the "Joy" principle… what I like to call the "Hell YES! or No" principle. The process is simple… does the item actually bring you joy? When you hold it, when you think about it, when you see it in your space, when you use it or get entertainment from it or decorate your space with it, do you get that slightly expansive feeling in your heart that says "I LOVE this item and it is a joy in my life"? If not then we need examine things no further. Unless it is a utilitarian item that must be used for maintenance of something that DOES give you joy, then let the item go. Get rid of it.
"But Jack, I just can't let this go." Yes you can.
"I get anxiety when I think about letting this go." That's OK. Anxiety won't kill you and it can give you insights into your own mindscape to show you where maybe you could use a little confidence building.
HELL YES! is the only answer you want when you ask yourself "Considering all the costs this item will have in my space, on my time, and upon my life, do I really want to keep this?" If you cannot muster a HELL YES! for the item, then it is time to let it go… to a friend, to a charity, to Craig's list, or to the trash.
We are trying to build habits and routines here… these actions will be repeated and you want to make it so that your brain is working with you instead of against you in all of them. Remember also that this is an incremental process. You don't (nor should you) try to clean it all up at once. DO NOT TRY TO MARATHON THE PROCESS (Notice: I keep saying that… it'll become familiar). Marathons are punishing processes and do nothing to encourage motivation… in fact, they are one of the most demotivating ways of tackling a large project. Break it into no more than 4x(20/10) sessions in a day, and I also recommend not doing more than a total of 12x(20/10) sessions in a week. More than that is likely to get boring, monotonous, stressful and anxiety inducing as you ask your brain to adapt to very rapid changes in the environment.
Take it slowly and be kind to yourself in the process. If you run into a part where you, for whatever reason, simply cannot continue with unfucking your space… if you run into a different obstacle that prevents you continuing with this space-unfucking process, that's OK.
Remember how we talked in the initial article about how the Chaos Web has many entangled dimensions that support each other?
Well, this is what I was talking about.
If you find yourself being demotivated by people being negative or actively undermining your choices to move forward with unfucking your lifestyle, you may want to check out the article on Unfucking Your Social Circle.
If you find that you are simply too physically exhausted or sick to engage in the process of unfucking your space, then you probably want to check out Unfucking your Body.
and finally, if you are facing mental health challenges that are preventing you having the mental clarity to take on the task, or you cannot muster the belief that things can change, then give Unfucking your Mind a look.
This is, for most people a compound problem, but it doesn't have to be complex.
Like untangling a ball of yarn, all it takes is patience and persistence.
You are smarter and more powerful than your mess and YOU CAN DO THIS, so GET IN THE GAME.
