Life in 2013 can be stressful. You might be working long hours and not seeing much of your family. You may not be finding time to socialise and hang out with your friends. You might be worried about prospects for the future, especially in these difficult economic times.
This may seem obvious. However, in the midst of stressful times, sometimes something as obvious as taking breaks can seem a very hard option to see. Ideally take a peaceful holiday for at least a week. Or if this isn't possible, take a long weekend off and go and see some new sights, hear some interesting sounds and get a feel of a place you've never been to before.
Making attendance to a yoga class a regular occurrence will do wonders for reducing your stress levels, even if it's just attending one class a week. By the end of the class your stress will have gone. You can also meditate every day for 10 minutes. Just focus on observing your breathing and allow your worries to arise and pass away.
Create a habit of getting to bed at a decent hour. The earlier you can the better. The more sleep you get, the better you'll be able to function the following day. Get into a routine where you're getting at least 7 hours of sleep every night.
Although a cup of coffee can be great to drink during a break from work, too much coffee will not help you in reducing stress. If anything the caffeine inside will only keep you awake later in the day when you really need to sleep. If you're not sleeping properly already, then too much coffee will actually increase your stress.
One way your stress levels increase is when you're too focused on achieving the outcome of a particular task you're undertaking. Of course, you want to succeed in whatever you're doing. However, by getting too emotionally involved in the outcome you want, you run the risk of basing your happiness, on getting the outcome. Rather than this, just focus on what you are doing, and allow the outcome to be whatever it will be.
You can reduce stress simply by planning your day better. If you're working from the office or at home, make a plan of the main activities, prioritise them and give yourself time limits for their completion. This will help you to spend maximum time on critical tasks and spend minimum time or any at all on those activities, which are not important. Once you have completed an activity, check it off as being done. By doing this you will have a sense of achievement before you move onto the next task.
What other ways can you think of to reduce stress?
I liked all the points and would need a little clarification from your end on the second last point – don't focus on the outcome.
One school asks you to do creative visualization on what you want to achieve that. I feel books like Secret have sold millions of copies just based on this one aspect.
What's your thoughts on this please?
Let me clarify what I mean about the not focusing on the outcome point. When we create goals and set objectives, I believe it is important to have a picture of what the outcome is. Indeed, when carrying out activities it is still important to have the outcome in mind. However, I believe one shouldn't get too emotionally attached to the outcome, else in the case of things not working out, one may get dejected of depressed unnecessarily.
With our busy lives – no matter what we try, stress will remain. What matters most is the way we handle our stress and learn to live with it, which you beautifully mentioned in your post here.
I agree with all your points above, and one thing that I notice in myself is that lack of sleep really plays on my stress levels, something that I need to work on. Similarly, planning what I have to do for the rest of the day and doing it eases my mind a great deal – so does taking breaks. Ah…when we are working online and have to sit for long hours on our laptops or computers – we don't realize the stress we are giving to our body and mind, besides the other things like the eyes, neck, arms etc – everything suffers. And most often – these stresses show up sooner or later by way of causing various health problems – some of which start showing sooner than you can imagine.
My yoga and meditation has become a bit erratic, which I know are a must because they are great stress busters too. And I'm glad I hardly have too much of tea or coffee – so am safe there. 🙂 Another thing that I do is similar to taking a break, but doing something totally different from the usual – like if I feel stressed out sitting and working, I would just move around and cook up some dish, go for a movie or a walk – this takes your mind away from your work, and it does help me.
As you said, stress is something, which will always be there and we can help ourselves to learn and develop strategies to deal with it.
Just like you, when I've not had enough sleep, it is easier for my stress levels to go up. I can totally relate to what you say about working online for longer periods. You're right. Our eyes, neck and arms do suffer if we're not careful. It's important to keep our bodies active as much as we can throughout a day to counter such problems.
I'm glad to say I've got back into my daily meditation after I went through a period where my practice had become a little on and off.
Many thanks for sharing your approach when you take a break of doing something totally different to what you're doing. This makes so much sense.
This is a needed post for me. I have several speeches/ video interviews this week (On top of my already bust schedule) and am feeling the stress from the engagements. I'm drinking extra water and taking power naps during the day to ease some of the stress. Great post and thoughts!
It's great to hear your drinking extra water and I love the idea of taking power naps during the day to help relieve stress.
I wish you all the best with your speaking engagements and video interviews. Many thanks for leaving your great comment, Dan.
Great tips here. I changed over to tea instead of coffee and I feel that it has helped me be more calm. If I miss a day, I don't have that withdrawal feeling that I did with coffee. Planning the day is also something I continue to work on. I don't think we can ever plan enough, especially if we are busy. it is important to prioritize to feel less stressed.
Many thanks for dropping by and I'm so glad you liked the tips!
I think it's great you've switched over to tea from coffee. I usually drink two cups of green tea every day and it really helps to keep me calm and my mind clear. I agree with tea the withdrawal experience isn't there. I guess it just shows how much caffeine coffee really does contain.
You're right; we can never plan enough in this day and age. Some type of prioritisation and time management always helps us to focus on important activities throughout the day.
Thanks so much for leaving your comment and sharing your experiences of this area.
Sleep and taking a break are super important Hiten but we usually don't have time for either (and increase our stress level in the process). What I try to do is schedule both sleep and breaks into my daily schedule so I'm consciously trying to stress less and relax.
Also, found yoga , meditation and prayer to help a lot in reducing stress and giving me new perspective on things.
Thanks for your comment and sharing your experiences of consciously scheduling in sleep and breaks into your day. This is great. We really do have to make some effort to relax, especially as we're all so busy.
I loved the point you made about prayer. Indeed, prayer is a great way to reduce stress, too.
Many thanks for your awesome comment.
Indeed, walking is a great stress buster and thanks for adding this further approach to the discussion. It's important to walk in the way you say and completely switch off when we're doing so.
I usually walk for 20-30 minutes in the evening.
I'm really glad you liked the post and thanks for adding more to it, Jon!
Take a minimum of 15 minutes each day to "chill" … do nothing … let your thoughts roam free.
I'm a coffee addict by the way so I will retain a certain level of "stress" but it's good stress. Thanks for the tips.
I loved your tip of taking a minimum of 15 minutes a day to just "chill"! This is brilliant.
I have to confess that I do enjoy my coffee, too. However, I limit it to one cup a day around mid-morning!
I'm really glad you liked the tips and thanks for dropping by. Cheers.
I suffer from stress without even knowing what I'm stressed about. This can be quite confusing because if you don't know the cause, you can't fix it.
I think that in addition to taking a break, one can do something enjoyable – like a hobby or meeting up with friends. This is a very good way of taking your mind off your worries and putting it on things that bring you pleasure instead.
Thanks for sharing your experiences around stress. Indeed, I can appreciate the confusion you would feel if you're unsure of what the cause is.
I totally agree with what you said about doing something fun like a hobby or spending time with friends. Indeed, when I spend time with my friends, like magic, all the worries seem to disappear.
Nice tips to come out from stress specially sleep and break.
when i m stressed just do one thing forget everything and go on walk with friends and make goship. I totally divert my mind from stress into fun.
I'm so glad you liked the tips and good resonate in particular, with sleeping properly and taking breaks.
I loved the approach you use when you're feeling stressed, of going on a walk with friends and having a nice chat! This is great and many thanks for sharing this. Indeed, walking and spending time with friends can do wonders for our wellbeing.
Hello Hiten — some very solid advice here, particularly the part about focusing more on actions than outcomes. Would love to see you explore that theme in more depth in a future post. Also, I gave up caffeine 14 years ago, and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. If you're sensitive to it like I am, it can make your life a mess!
It's really great to see you and I'm so glad you appreciated the advice in this post.
Indeed, focusing more on actions rather than outcomes is a technique I've learnt from my spiritual practices. It can be a challenge to do, but is something that with effort can be done. It helps take away a lot of stress.
It's brilliant how you gave up caffeine. Coffee is an interesting one. Have it in moderation then one is fine. Have too much of it and it can make one feel really awful.
Many thanks for leaving your comment and adding your experiences to the discussion, Stephen.
I think stress is a part of life and we have to live with it, how to deal with the stress without getting stressed out is really the key.
I've started prioritizing the things which has really helped me a lot, I try to remain off from the social media(Facebook) when I'm working, as the priority is to complete the task in hand.I've started working as a single processor, one task at a time.
I've been doing Yoga and regular walk with my friends in my society, for the last 1 yr or so and could see the results and it has really helped me a lot, it has made me to focus more on the current task.
I'm least bothered about the outcome, but I'm more passionate about the work – it should be done in a best possible way.
I believe stress is always, we can't fully eliminate it but we can control it's effect to us. It's how we handle it and always remember that we can manage its impact to our daily lives.
When I am stressed, I exercise through learning new dance steps. I rewire my brain from being pressured to happiness. And when I am back to solve the obstacles, I can quickly come up with a solution because I get rid off the worries and negative thoughts blocking my creative juices.
Indeed, as you said, stress is always there in some form or another. I think being lay people with daily lives, families, work etc. means we will always go through stressful periods. As you stated, we can learn to control the impact it was on us.
Thanks so much for sharing your experiences with dealing with stress. You are so right. Dancing is a wonderful way to de-stress! It also sounds like you've developed a great strategy to quickly overcome pressure and worry, and switch back to creativity when you're doing your work. This is brilliant!
Many thanks for sharing your experiences, Patricia and for adding so much more to this post. I really appreciate it.

Homecoming highlights
Alumni celebrate their alma mater at weeklong festivities
University of Manitoba alumni came back to campus, celebrating their alma mater during Homecoming this year. With over 40 events over the course of the week, U of M grads had plenty to celebrate.
Many of the highlights took place during Homecoming weekend, such as the Bison's football game, the Homecoming dinner, various luncheons and of course the spectacular launch of the Front and Centre campaign at halftime of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers game.
On Saturday, October 3 the enthusiastic crowd at the Bomber game cheered when it was announced that $215,294,636.30 had been raised. A week later, with the announcement of $150,000,000 in support from the Province, that total rose to $365,294,636 – a significant milestone on the road to the campaign's ambitious and transformative $500 million goal.
Former NFL player, philanthropist and Bison alumnus Israel Idonije was on hand to officially launch the Front and Centre campaign.
"Donations that will support graduate and undergraduate students; donations that will advance research – impact not only here in Manitoba but in the entire world; donations that will give students and faculty a place and space of pride," Idonije said during the on-field announcement. "These donations will transform not only our university, but our entire province."
An on-field performance precluded the announcement with a celebration of Manitoba and the role the U of M plays in the prosperity of the province and people in it. The halftime show began with 250 volunteer performers rolling out Manitoba's rivers, grain fields, cityscapes and winters, bringing the Front and Centre campaign to life in an exciting display of colour, music and fireworks.
Later that evening the annual Homecoming dinner took a celebratory tone as classmates reconnected. Many faculties were represented by the reunion groups, but none more raucous than the engineers. (The program was interrupted more than once for the faculty rally song.)
The theme of the dinner itself was "From Farm to Table" and featured fine fare from local producers – which can symbolically represent the growth and nourishment of U of M grads in Manitoba.
"For me, the U of M challenged me and helped me elevate my game," said Winnipeg mayor and U of M alumnus Brian Bowman as he reflected on his time as a student. "This community and who we are as a family is so connected to this institution."

On Friday, October 2 the herd trampled the Regina Rams with a 34-19 win in the annual Homecoming game. Ranked sixth in the Canadian Interuniversity Sport, the Bisons won their second consecutive Canada West regular season game. The difference may have come down to a massive home-side rally with hundreds of alumni cheering from the stands.

Earlier in the week U of M grads took part in 21 reunions at both campuses. The faculty-specific events provided alumni with a chance to catch up with old classmates and revisit those times that brought them together. They also served as a great opportunity to share stories with fellow alumni from different graduating classes and hear from current faculty members about the exciting developments taking place on campus.
The Hats Off to Human Ecology event on Thursday, October 1, 2015
On Oct. 1, special events were held to mark the transition of the Human Ecology faculty's departments of Human Nutritional Sciences, Family Social Sciences and Textile Sciences into other academic units. Alumni took part in tours of the Human Ecology building, and attended a ceremony where speakers paid tribute to the accomplishments of the faculty and its alumni. A plaque commemorating the 105 year history of the faculty, previously named Home Economics, was unveiled by the Honourable Janice C. Filmon, Lieutenant Governor of Manitoba, who is a graduate of the faculty, and President David Barnard.
Among other significant Homecoming events were the 30th anniversary of Engineering Access Program (ENGAP) and the 40th anniversary of the Access and Aboriginal Focus Programs (AAFP). ENGAP has been described by its graduates as life-changing and has helped more than 100 Indigenous students graduate with a BSc. in Engineering. Likewise, the AAFP is critical to both the U of M and the wider Indigenous community. The holistic approach of the AAFP ensures that students' emotional, personal, academic and financial needs are met with support that is balanced by cultural backgrounds.

The Desautels Faculty of Music's annual Homecoming Concert highlighted its breadth and talent. The audience was treated to performances ranging from classics by Rachmaninoff to the virtuosity of Paganini, the ever-popular Piazzolla, and jazz and opera favourites.
The Homecoming activities wouldn't have been possible without student involvement from the U of M's Student Volunteer Program. From intimate, faculty-specific events to the Front and Centre announcement, these volunteers collectively put in over 100 hours of time.

Next to an exhibition space, an island is surrounded by water. From an old ladder one can capture a glimpse of it through a blurred window. The patient viewer can discover a dozen different birds, a fish, a rabbit, a turtle and a human being. This person fled during the opening of the exhibition with a painting that turns out to be an escape-device. Through a skylight, a high and narrow beam and a hole in the basement, he passes through a hatch in the wooden floor on the island to arrive there.


Earlier this week the Facebook page for this blog hit 20,000 followers. I remember when my Facebook page hit 1,000 followers and I was blown away. We had a giveaway to celebrate!
Now, at 20,000, I have to admit the feeling is a bit different. I'm thrilled and humbled and flattered by the milestone, but it's not just my page anymore. This group that's grown up – of gardeners, cooks, homesteaders, thoughtful spenders, green-living advocates – it's a critical mass of people who give and take with each other and with me. It's community.
I'm honored to step back and see how this community has grown in the just-under-three years since I started this blog. Back then I thought maybe people in my hometown would like to know when to plant their fall cabbages (hint: July). Now, people on my Facebook page answer other people's gardening questions. Everyone is just happy to pitch in with what knowledge they have. It's kinda amazing to be a part of, honestly.
I try not to let this blog become a shrine to self indulgent navel-gazing, but regular readers may have gathered that 2012 was a rough damn year for me personally and 2013 has mostly been about recovering from 2012. Through up moments and down, writing here – about my garden and my homekeeping and the constant exuberant cycles of life and growth and rest – has been a comfort and a challenge and a joy.
Periodically, readers email me, or comment that my posts have inspired them or motivated them or taught them a new skill. But I know that sharing what little I've learned in the many years I've gardened inspires me, and teaches me, and encourages my own habit of continued (some might say compulsive) learning. And as often as I teach, I am the student, learning from our community and being inspired by it. So it is a two way street, and I thank you so much for being part of it.
Thank you for reading, for taking the time to like and share, and for commenting. Thank you for being a member of this community.
Just over two years ago, I hosted a giveaway for hitting those first 1,000 Facebook likes. Now I think it's time to do it again.
So, here's the deal: I'm feeling mellow, I'm feeling contemplative, I'm feeling winter coming on. I would love to give someone a suite of my favorite kitchen, home and garden books to get them through the off season. Just add coffee, and you'll have my favorite way to spend a quiet afternoon.
An Everlasting Meal: Cooking with Economy and Grace by Tamar Adler. A beautiful ode to simple and frugal cooking as a way of life.
Art of Fermentation by Sandor Katz. Last time I had a Facebook page celebration I gave away Sandor Katz's first book, Wild Fermentation. Giving away his follow-up work, an even more comprehensive look at fermentation of all kinds, just seems appropriate for this follow-up Facebook milestone giveaway.
Vegetable Gardener's Bible by Ed Smith. This is my favorite beginner's gardening book. It has all the basics of vegetable gardening explained in an accessible way and is useful to gardeners in nearly every climate.
All About Braising by Molly Stevens. This is possibly (probably) the best cookbook in the entire world. Stevens is a gifted cookbook author, and inspires and educates through her writing. Every recipe can be counted on to turn out deliciously.
Free-Range Chicken Gardens by Jessi Bloom. This book is the best source for know-how for people who want both happy hens and thriving gardens.
The Encyclopedia of Country Living by Carla Emery. This book is a tome, a legend, a doorstop sized work that manages to be as engaging and funny as it is comprehensive. No small feat. A deserved classic.
In celebration of the 20,000 Facebook Like milestone, one lucky winner will receive one shiny new copy of each of these books – essentially a productive homekeeping mini-library delivered right to your door. I'm self-sponsoring this giveaway just to say thank you, so this is just between me and y'all.
If you haven't already, like the NWEdible Facebook page and leave a comment here on this blog post letting me know you've done so. If you already follow NWEdible on Facebook, just tell me that. If you have a conscientious objection to Facebook, let me know what it is and we'll call that good enough. I hate giveaways that exclude people because they aren't into whatever social media thing is being pushed.
It's not a condition of entry or anything, but I would sure love it if you guys would remember that my bread and butter is the sharing you do of my blog posts and Facebook page. Please – like, share, comment and let your friends know about about my blog and my Facebook page.
So, one comment and you're entered. One entry per person, US residents only please. Any funny business with multiple entries and I disqualify ya. Sorry to my international readers; it's not you, it's shipping rates. Contest open until Thursday, October 3rd, 8 PM PDT. Winner will be drawn randomly and contacted via email to coordinate delivery of prize. Good luck and thank you all for reading!
This contest is now closed. Thank you so much to everyone who entered!

Just found you looking for a pectin free jam. Liked ya on FB!
I liked your facbook page.
I don't enjoy facebook, so I canceled my account about a year ago. I started following your blog last February and I don't know how to tell you how much it has helped me in my garden! Thank you for your hard work. I would love to win those books!
I found your blog a couple of months ago and promptly bookmarked it for future reference/inspiration. I didn't know you had a facebook page, but I do now and I have liked it (FB name Jojo Viola). Thanks for all of the tips you share!
I do not use Facebook because I have concerns about privacy and monitoring. But over the last year, I have shared your blog via email links with friends and family. Thanks for all you do. I'd love to win this great stack of books!
I didn't even know you were on Facebook! Just 'liked' your page. I'm very excited about this giveaway!
I'm just not into the face bookery, thanks for including everyone anyway. I do tell friends about your blog though!
I love your blog, just spread my love on Facebook too. Keep up the excellent writing.
I love your blogging. Found you several months ago when I cried from laughing over your Terrible Tragedy of the Healthy Eater. I'm not on Facebook because I know I would lose hours of each day being sucked into its vortex. It's just better for my whole family if I stay away.
Can I say that I love that you're including those of us who opt out of social media? Thank you!

BETRAYAL: WHEN THE GOVERNMENT TOOK OVER THE TEAMSTERS UNIION | Chicago Premiere
BETRAYAL: WHEN THE GOVERNMENT TOOK OVER THE TEAMSTERS UNIION
Chicago Premiere
January 4 & 9
The expanded 70 minute version of the powerful documentary "Betrayal: When the Government Took Over the Teamsters Union" will have its Chicago premiere at the Gene Siskel Film Center, 164 N. State on Saturday, January 4th at 7:30 pm followed by another screening January 9th at 7:45 pm.
The expanded version of the film, has gained national and international recognition, including selection by three film festivals — the Gold Movie Awards in London, Docs Without Borders and the Miami Independent Film Festival. There is a local focus as the film documents the efforts of respected Chicago Teamster official William Hogan Jr. to lead the fight against government overreach which has trampeled on the rights of free speech and due process for 1.4 million union members for three decades. Former Watergate prosecutor and current MSNBC legal analyst Jill Wine-Banks writes:
"Never until this film did I see such a lack of due process and restriction on freedom of speech as portrayed here. Government oversight at the very high price shown in this film needs investigation and an answer from the government."
Instead of building cases against criminal elements in the union, then US Attorney Rudy Giuliani used the Civil RICO statute in 1989 to take over the entire International Brotherhood of Teamsters in ways that violated the protocols of the court and denied a promised democratic union convention vote to approve or disapprove a consent decree enabling the government takeover. The documentary shows:
Former Justice Dept officials acknowledge that criminal elements were removed within the first three years of the government takeover under a Justice Department appointed watchdog known as the Independent Review Board (IRB). Yet the takeover continues 30 years later and scores of respected union officials have been barred for life. Some like William Hogan Jr were barred for life after they criticized continued government control, while others were removed simply for speaking to any former Teamster who had been barred for whatever reason — ending their careers.
Under government control, at least $250 million has been taken out of the Teamster union Treasury to fund the Independent Review Board's annual budget which has undermined union democracy and seriously weakened the union.
Ironically, while the mission of the Independent Review Board which was to end mob influence, the IRB helped protect a corrupt official named Ron Carey to become President in 1992, though he was linked to the violent Lucchese crime family in a loan sharking operation funded by his local's pension fund.
The film was produced and directed by George Bogdanich, a writer, publicist, filmmaker and former political consultant. Bios about the filmcrew and information about the production can be found at the website https://www.betrayalfilm.org/ which also contains media stories, comments and a trailer.
Aside from Rudy Giuliani, the film highlights others current newsmakers including Jack Goldsmith, author of In Hoffa's Shadow¸ a best-selling book that challenges the account of Hoffa's death portrayed in Martin Scorsese's film "The Irishman." Goldsmith who teaches at Harvard Law and served as an Assistant US Attorney General is a co-founder of the influential Lawfare Blog and has questioned the harsh regime of the Justice Department over the Teamsters.
For those who may be interested, interviews can be arranged with the filmmaker George Bogdanich, William Hogan Jr. as well as actors Jim Belushi who worked on four Chicago based films with Hogan, William Forsythe, who narrated the documentary and Linda Fiorentino who is also familiar with Hogan's ordeal and civil liberties activist Christie Hefner who appeared in the film.

Third Parties: Know the "Who" and the "When"
David Pignolet
SecZetta
With the rise of next-generation technologies, businesses have access to more data than ever, creating opportunities to develop new channels for revenue. Contributing to the increase in data is a growing reliance on the external supply chain. However, with the influx of data comes the necessity to understand the entire third-party ecosystem; its benefits and risks.
Some of the most devastating breaches have been attributed to a third party, so it should be no secret that mitigating third-party risks is crucial. Because vigilance is key, organizations must get their entire vendor ecosystem in check to lower the risks that enterprises encounter when granting third-party vendors and non-employees' access to their network and data.
Assess Your Hygiene
According to research from the Ponemon Institute, 50 percent of organizations don't know who has access to their data, how they're using it, or what safeguards are in place to mitigate an incident. This is largely due to the lack of resources to track third parties, the complexity of business requirements and technology, and a breakdown in communication.
Businesses can start by assessing their security hygiene and enacting a multilayered defense strategy that covers the entire enterprise to include lifecycle management capabilities to manage the coming and going of third party, non-employees, as well as encryption and multifactor authentication for all network- and data-access requests from third parties. The business is going to hire non-employees, so organizations need to be prepared to track and manage risk at both the vendor and identity level.
Select Third-Party Providers That Improve Security, Not Jeopardize It
Some third-party vendors only need access to your network whereas others need access to specific data. No matter how much you trust a third-party vendor you must continuously assess the vendor's security standards and technology as well as track who is being granted access from those vendors once approved. Those companies with robust due diligence and third-party governance stand to benefit in many ways.
Do the Regulatory Changes Affect You
With the increasing data laws to include the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the dozens of individual United States data policies, organizations must rethink their entire compliance process.
Organizations should restrict third-party access to sensitive data, complete an information audit to determine the data flow to third parties, collect only the data that serves a legitimate purpose, and make sure that all major leaders are aligned.
In the event that information has to be shared with third parties, companies should make certain they know who each person is that was granted access, have a way to manage those identities and, more importantly, have a process by which access can be removed in the event of a breach notification.
It's Not One-and-Done
Successfully managing third-party vendors is ongoing practice, not a one-time task. Companies must recognize that assessing the risk of the vendor is just one side of the coin. Once a vendor has been approved, companies need to be able to track and manage the individuals being brought in from those vendors and take action against the non-employee populations.
All businesses have a responsibility — to themselves and their customers — to implement measures that are appropriate to their unique risks and requirements.

PAT Chairman Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri has said that Pakistan is among the countries that are confronted with the global warming challenge. He said that if the national forest cover is not increased in the coming months, the glaciers will melt exponentially and the environmental degradation will pose serious hazards to human life. He said that taking part in efforts to increase the forest cover and eliminate the pollution is the moral, religious and national responsibility of every citizen. He said that the past rulers contributed to environmental and financial pollution by cutting down trees and looting national exchequer respectively. He urged the party workers to take an active part in tree plantation campaign, adding that working for the welfare of the people is the mission of the MQI and PAT.
Dr Tahir-ul-Qadri made these remarks while talking to the senior party leaders on the telephone yesterday. He said that though the reports and analyses undertaken by the national and international institutions with regard to eradicating environmental pollution have their own importance, the Holy Quran has furnished complete guidance in this regard. He said that the Holy Quran has described soil fertility and greenery as signs of a healthy life and counted them among the blessings of Allah. He said that Allah says in Surah Araf that greenery grows out of the soil on the commandment of Allah and the soil which is not fertile does not produce anything other than unproductive things. He said that taking part in tree plantation campaign as part of rendering the infertile lands fertile is an act designed to obey the commands of Allah Almighty and herein lies the betterment of humanity.
Dr Tahir-ul-Qadri said that the clear instructions have been conveyed to the workers to take an active part in the tree plantation drives. He said that it is only through a massive plantation of trees that we can fight off the challenge of global warming and climate change. He said that growing a tree is a continuous donation. He said that every worker should plant at least one tree in the courtyard of his house, if not more. He said that those workers whose profession is related to agriculture should plant as many trees as they can around the lands they cultivate. He also directed that tree plantation should be carried out in the educational institutions, colleges and the University of the MQI, stating that doing our bit to make Pakistan prosperous and green is our national and religious duty.

Editorial: A closer look at pot policy
the Times Union editorial board
Aug. 5, 2020 Updated: Aug. 7, 2020 2 p.m.
THE ISSUE:
Even with decriminalization, Black individuals are still disproportionately charged with marijuana violations and crimes.
THE STAKES:
New York needs a better understanding of whether its laws are helping or harming.
New York has been decriminalizing marijuana for decades, gradually, yet somehow New Yorkers — especially people in racial minorities — keep getting arrested on charges involving marijuana.
We see this right in Albany, where Black people continue to be charged with marijuana possession at a conspicuously disproportionate rate — accounting for 97 percent of the marijuana charges by city police over the past year. This, despite assurances a year ago that police would look into this practice, which can burden people with lifelong criminal records for possession of more than an ounce.
It's right for municipalities like Albany to say, yet again, that they'll look at their policing policies. But what's really needed is for New York to take a credible, comprehensive look at the pros and cons of its marijuana laws.
From a health standpoint, the debate has long been over a few fundamental questions. Is marijuana addictive? Is it a "gateway" to harder drugs? Does it harm brain function and other aspects of people's health? There are abundant studies out there, and more empirical evidence than ever since the legalization of marijuana in 11 states.
From a social and criminal justice standpoint, does legalization lead to more crime, or less? Does it increase the rate of impaired driving? Has it had an effect on use of and trafficking in other drugs? Has it freed up law enforcement resources? Has it placed new demands on addiction and treatment programs? Does it lead to greater youth use?
These are all answerable questions, but too many New York politicians have long been relying on gut feelings or cherry-picked data and reports. New York can do better than wing such a consequential debate. Gov. Andrew Cuomo should appoint a commission to gather the information that's out there and distill it into a report that could serve as the foundation for a more informed discussion.
The state took a similar approach on another contentious issue — high-volume hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, as it's widely known. Mr. Cuomo tasked the state departments of Environmental Conservation and Health with intensively studying the issue, and in the end they produced the science and analysis he needed to make an informed decision. He banned natural gas fracking in 2014, and the Legislature this year made it law.
Given Mr. Cuomo's preference for legalization, a strictly in-house study might be looked at skeptically. But one overseen and reviewed by a more independent commission, made up of experts on the many aspects of the marijuana debate, could be credible. And it could provide the governor, lawmakers and the public with a common set of facts.
This is not to say that communities like Albany shouldn't look at the racial disparities that are still evident in the enforcement of marijuana laws, and at their police cultures in general. But after more than 40 years of decriminalizing marijuana, and with Blacks still being fined or even arrested for an activity that is legal in 11 other states, New York needs to answer the question: Is the law solving a problem, or is the law itself the problem?

If anything, he probably just realized it was time to move up to a solid midcard spot. After all, what's Balor doing right now? Oh that's right - not booked for a PPV. Balor, Miz, and Ambrose could've all worked programs with Aries in the past month and they would've been both fresh and effective.
So he views himself as better than being slotted parallel to Kendrick? News flash - he IS superior to such a bit player role. Lastly, fuck off to anyone that questions his awareness of his excellence and the substantial opportunities that should come with that, when a total gassed up scrub is holding the company's most historic title with the false hopes that his ethnicity will help penetrate a largely populated market.
Aries had been working as a cruiserweight (with three PPV appearances) since February. It's hardly like he was on the main roster for a year plus and made no progress. Whether he is superior or not isn't actually relevant; no one is entitled to specific slot and there is no secret sauce to being guaranteed a great position especially when you are undersized by WWE standards.
I'm quite taken by the interesting timing of his release when coupled with a week where a former tag team partner (Strong), a similarly talented but small star (Styles) and the man he beat in his breakthrough match (Joe) all have had tremendous success in WWE well beyond what their size and look constraints would have likely allowed a few years ago. And I can only conclude that attitude and a belief that you can earn success but won't be gifted it does work even in the WWE.
And as for your gratuitous slam at Jinder, it's clear he made the most of an opportunity, impressed the right people (Big Show was a big advocate for him earlier in the year) and has kept the right people happy to keep his push going. And he started in the same slot as Curt Hawkins. You and others may not like his work or the choice that was made, but he took advantage of an opportunity given while it appears Aries has decided he is unable to continue to work to do the same.
Bullshit, he knows his worth just like Punk did from Day 1. His only sin wasn't having Paul Heyman or someone similar as his backstage advocate to navigate through the oversensitive carnies. He made the most of his opportunities and brought his working boots - this isn't Mistico, in which there's all the superstar attitude, barely any of the actual work ethic.
Now only if you wanna argue that this this is karma for his contributions to the toxic locker room and bullying culture of Pearce-era ROH, then you'd be on to something. But by all accounts he seems to have largely grown up from that, now he's just a highly confident individual that won't waste time being positioned at the same level as Kendrick, who has never been excellent and reliable enough to carry a company on any level.
Not everyone has to be willing to eat shit with a smile like Danielson. I could easily see WWE potentially wasting a whole year with Aries just like was done with Danielson actually; that's a sin that I will never forgive the company for.

Let's pump the brakes a bit, especially on the Danielson comparison. Not going to touch on his attitude or whatever but let's be real, his best work was as a commentator. He didn't have any memorable matches in NXT before being injured, and routinely underperformed in the CW division. I know it hasn't exactly been a hot brand, but Neville, Ali, Gallagher, and others have shown up in big spots and put on ****+ matches. I can't even remember the last **** match Aries had.
Saying that "wasting" a year of a 39 year old Aries who wasn't putting on great matches and wasn't super over is the same as wasting a year of a 28 year old once in a generation talent is just a little bit weird. I get that Aries probably could've gotten some opportunities based on reputation (like Roode and Joe did) but let's not pretend that he deserves an IC title run because he had a great match against Nigel 10 years ago. Not when the company has the most talent it's ever had on the roster.

Cass is big among the current roster. An absolute monster. Show him in contrast to the current guys, not someone from another era who is bigger than him. I know the long game is he beats Big Show but a) i'm dubious on the amount of cache beating Big Show has in 2017 and b) i don't like the optics of someone being taller them him, in particular if the gimmick is, as Jeff has dubbed it, "I'm tall, I should be a star"
Nash was neither as generous or as capable of putting someone over as Show is. Show also did a very good job in a similar spot with Braun (though Braun>Cass, so it may not be an exact crossover).

1) Punk went to developmental and then ECW and didn't make the "main roster" until almost two years after he was signed with the company. It was an additional three years after that he was truly pushed as a legit main eventer going forward. Aries was with the company for less than two years. You can talk the advantages Punk had, but one that you failed to mention was patience. And granted, Aries is older today than Punk was then, but realistically, where else is he going to go where he hasn't already done it all? Maybe NJPW?
2) To me, it seems like a fairly straightforward deal-he didn't want to accept the role they saw him in and they didn't want to push him beyond that (at least currently).
3) Danielson "eating shit with a smile" got him a main event slot at Summerslam and Wrestlemania in a 12 month period. Was some time wasted, which is now even more sad? Most definitely. But, we didn't know that then and neither did Bryan. He could very easily not come back in 2010 and gone back to the indies, but he clearly trusted his talent to get him to where eventually ended up.
And therein lies the difference between guys like Bryan, Punk, Joe and Owens and guys like Aries. Absolutely 100% believe he should do what's best for him, but also 100% believe he will regret quitting and not finding another way to change minds.

Whereas I believe that with NJPW expansion, a year or so away of motivated performances will get him back to WWE. Seemed like no coincidence this came right after Long Beach actually, especially if he asked or pushed company to wanna release him.

Perhaps, but I don't know that we can assume he shows up in New Japan and suddenly leapfrogs the existing gaijin in either the heavyweight or junior heavyweight division. Timing is everything and right now, they're pretty stacked talent wise. So is WWE. The only guaranteed chance for him to be at a level higher than he was in WWE is probably ROH or GFW. And I don't even think THAT'S a sure thing.
Post by armsofsleep » Wed Jul 12, 2017 6:14 pm
NJPW has a roster that's almost as loaded as WWE's but way less time to actually put people on screens. Zack Sabre Jr is a top 10 in-ring wrestler in the world and basically got slotted in as "lower midcard heavyweight". Not sure how Aries tops out as anything better than "BOSJ spot" in NJPW. MAYBE if Aries came into EVOLVE and tore it up or became a main event guy in ROH guy he could build his stock, but I'm pretty sure he's a known commodity at this point.

Oxidative Stress Detection Test & Assay Kit | Cell Biolabs | Cell Biolabs, Inc.
Selecting assays for oxidative stress begins with your samples. There are many markers of oxidative stress, but some are more easily detected in certain sample types (cells, tissues, urine, blood, etc.). We have developed a broad portfolio of sensitive, easy-to-use assays to quantify oxidative stress. Use the following table to determine the best assays for your sample type.
NOTE: Many oxidative stress markers degrade over time, so the best results usually come from fresh samples. For best results from samples that have been frozen for 6 to 24 months, choose one of the markers below with an asterisk (*).

The UK Minister for International Development Desmond Swayne visited Nepal to see DFID's bilateral programmes and how the UK, Nepal's largest bilateral donor, is supporting efforts to combat poverty and promote economic growth.
He arrived in Kathmandu on Wednesday on a three-day visit. During his visit Swayne met Finance Minister Ram Sharan Mahat to discuss the future of UK development support to Nepal, including how to build on the more than 100 million Pounds Sterling committed by the UK for fiscal year 2015/16, said a British Embassy statement. As the two countries approach 200 years of friendship, UK is looking at how to support Nepal in its efforts to graduate from least developed country status by 2022, said the statement, adding that achieving necessary economic growth will require sustained efforts to speed up investment in infrastructure and maximising human capital.
A meeting with the Investment Board of Nepal focused on how development aid could facilitate private sector investment that is important to unlocking Nepal's hydropower potential. Swayne visited rural water and sanitation projects in Syangja and Pumdhibhumdi health post to observe how services are delivered.

Views for a Change
Pageturners
Consultant Q&A
John Runyan Responds
These questions most surely resonate with leaders and change agents around the country as businesses everywhere turn from traditional hierarchical structures to many forms of self-directed work teams.
Organizations have a variety of reasons for turning to these special work teams. For example, some simply want to eliminate whole layers of management and supervision in a single sweep. Others are experimenting with creating new teams to take on tasks and opportunities that have not existed before. And, finally, others want to really leverage the multiple talents and power of teams across the board while retaining their supervisors as on-going members of these teams. It is these latter organizations that I would most like to address.
Supervisors who continue as members of self-directed work teams can sometimes choose and be chosen to play various roles. For example, if they are to take on the role of a new team leader, they have the challenge of maintaining a kind of leadership role, but shifting their style from one of exercising authority and direction to sharing responsibility and power with the team.
To me, this means becoming the developer of capacity and talent throughout the team. What used to be only one modest part of the supervisor role now becomes primary. When I put myself in this developer of talent role, I believe that my abilities to inquire and listen are the keys to providing the support and coaching that other team members need. Team members of newly-formed self-directed work teams tell me that there is no substitute for simply being included and heard about what matters to them most - and then being respected and trusted to make a contribution. Being included and heard involves helping to set team agendas, rotating meeting leadership and facilitation roles, and shaping job designs and work priorities in ways that take all into account. When team leaders offer these opportunities and then expect the best from their members and behave in ways consistent with that expectation, they often get the best from those teams.
In some other organizations, former supervisors become team member peers of those they are joining in this new working configuration. In this situation, these former managers need to find ways to turn away from some of their directive inclinations and style and turn toward an array of behaviors, which may or may not have been part of their repertoire.
In particular, I believe the primary role for these previous managers is one of catalyst for team learning. What I know directly from my own experience in developing self-directed work teams is that learning how to share responsibility takes initiative, persistence and patience. Time and again I have seen former supervisors who have personally declared their openness to mutual learning - and others struggling to make sense of the demands of self-direction. Thinking and acting congruently means being willing to bring all of yourself to the effort, for example, by both being opinionated and responsive to others ideas. Acting collegially also means taking on small, day-to-day team chores cheerfully as well as taking a pro-active role in the larger shared leadership tasks of the team. Reaching this balanced give-and-take with former subordinates is not always easy, but it is essential to being a strong team member. The great reward of this work is seeing fellow team members blossom into more articulate, capable and dependable colleagues and contributors to team success.
You ask about how to get former supervisors aligned and in support of self-directed work teams initiatives.
The answers are many, but they are all built from the
fundamental values of engagement, trust and respect:
o First, put yourself in their shoes. Inquire, listen and empathize.
o Don't assume that you know what is in their heads and hearts.
o Acknowledge their dilemmas and deal with them in open, straight ways. This includes being clear when downsizing and de-layering is some or most of the reason for moving to self-direction.
o Talk openly with them about what they may be losing as they shift into this new working world. Don't deny their feelings.
o Invite them to explore the opportunity that they have to serve in the role of catalyst for learning - both their own and others.
o Offer them the option of a mutual learning and support group for themselves as a special subset of former managers.
o Listen to and learn from their experience as an important constituency in the large-scale
organizational change work.
o Offer those who struggle with these new team member roles a chance to serve as valued individual contributors, when this is possible in the new organizational structure.
By working in these basically sound ways, you can open your organization to the value that these former supervisors can bring, if you and they so choose.

Q: Is whisper.ai non-deterministic? I am experimenting with Whisper AI sound-to-text (actually I am using the whisper.cpp clone right now) and trying to optimize the performance but I have discovered something odd - although I use exactly the same setting every time except for the number of threads, the result isn't exactly the same. In other words, the result varies depending on the number of threads.
Is this expected? If so, why does it happen?

        let delay = SKAction.wait(forDuration: 2.0)
        let spawnDelay = SKAction.sequence([delay, spawn])
        let spawnDelayForever = SKAction.repeatForever(spawnDelay)
        self.run(spawnDelayForever)

        let distance = CGFloat(self.frame.width + wallPair.frame.width)
        let movePipes = SKAction.moveBy(x: -distance - 50, y: 0, duration: TimeInterval( 0.01 * distance))
        let removePipes = SKAction.removeFromParent()
        moveAndRemove = SKAction.sequence([movePipes,removePipes])

        mexican.physicsBody?.velocity = CGVector(dx: 0, dy: 0)
        mexican.physicsBody?.applyImpulse(CGVector(dx: 0, dy: 65))

I have found a tutorial where the wall spawn duration is made faster but I am unsure how to incorporate this into my code as they have used a new function.
My walls are being spawned in the override function which makes it hard for me to call this when adding my if statement.
     func startNewLevel(){

           levelNumber += 1

           if self.actionForKey("spawningEnemies") != nil{
           self.removeActionForKey("spawningEnemies")
           }

           var levelDuration = timeInterval()
           switch levelNumber {
           case 1: levelDuration = 2.0
           case 2: levelDuration = 1.8
           case 3: levelDuration = 1.6
           default: levelDuration = 0.5
           print("Cannot find level into")
           }

           let spawn = SKAction.run(spawnEnemy)
           let waitToSpawn = SKAction.waitForDuration(levelDuration)
           let spawnSequence = SKAction.sequence([waitToSpawn, spawn])
           let spawnForever = SKAction.repeatActionForever(spawnSequence)
           self.runAction(spawnForever, withKey: "spawningEnemies")

This is where I would be calling the function startNewLevel() but my wall spawning is set up in override func touchedBegan.
func didBegin(_ contact: SKPhysicsContact) {
    let firstBody = contact.bodyA
    let secondBody = contact.bodyB

    if firstBody.categoryBitMask == physicsCategory.bird && secondBody.categoryBitMask == physicsCategory.wall{

        score += 1
        scoreLabel.text = "\(score)"
        firstBody.node?.removeFromParent()

        if score == 10 || score == 15 || score == 20{
        startNewLevel()

        if score > UserDefaults().integer(forKey: "HIGHSCORE") {
            saveHighScore()

        }

    }
    else if firstBody.categoryBitMask == physicsCategory.bird && secondBody.categoryBitMask == physicsCategory.wall{

        score += 1
        scoreLabel.text = "\(score)"
        secondBody.node?.removeFromParent()

        if score > UserDefaults().integer(forKey: "HIGHSCORE") {
            saveHighScore()

        }

    }

This is probably really confusing but if anyone gets me HOLA you will be my favourite person on the earth.

Cecile McLorin Salvant - For One To Love
AMAC 1095
No. of Discs: 2
2016 Grammy Award winner - Best Jazz Vocal Album
180-gram double LP includes three exclusive bonus songs!
Album download included, offer subject to expiration
Cécile McLorin Salvant, the wildly talented 25-year-old singer, songwriter, visual artist and illustrator, became a breakout star with 2013's WomanChild. Her follow-up, For One To Love, is a courageous statement of contrast: love and longing, delight and desire.
Cécile composed five original songs for For One To Love. Each of these tunes explore the album's underlying themes and display Cécile's strong personality, sharp intellect, coy humor, unfettered romanticism, and penetrating honesty. The thematic elements continue to grow with a smoldering take on Burt Bacharach's bygone "Wives and Lovers" and "Growlin' Dan" by Blanche Calloway, the first woman to lead an all-male orchestra. "What's The Matter Now," originally popularized by Bessie Smith, is a juxtaposition of feel versus subject matter: a plea for fair treatment enclosed in a playful blues. "Le Mal De Vivre," written by French singer Barbara in 1966, is a stark ballad performed by Cé cile in French.
For One To Love is a riotous showcase for this riveting voice: quivering highs and soul-shaking lows, all delivered with grace and style. Salvant has reunited with decorated young pianist Aaron Diehl, joined by his trio of Paul Sikivie on bass and Lawrence Leathers on drums. Together this ensemble swings and swirls, nimbly hanging on Cécile's every cry, snarl and coo. A gifted illustrator, Cécile accents the albums poignant music with original artwork.
Cécile was born in Miami, Florida and studied French law, baroque and jazz vocal performance in Aix-En-Provence before winning the 2010 Thelonious Monk competition. WomanChild was praised by the New York Times, NPR, won Downbeat's Album of the Year and earned Cécile her first Grammy nomination. She now lives in Harlem. An extensive international tour is planned through 2015 including performances at the Newport Jazz Festival, Hollywood Bowl, La Villette (Paris) the Johannesburg Joy of Jazz Festival and London Jazz Festival.
