Well, if you are so hungry that you could eat an ox, what could you eat when you prefer chicken? An ostrich, of course! Says Sebastian Polinares.
Ostrich meat is now quite readily available at your local super market. You must have seen it; it is referred to as the alternative red meat because the colour and texture look very similar to beef. One thing is certain, eating ostrich, you would be safe from mad cow disease.
Ostriches were first used commercially in South Africa in the mid 19th century, when the feathers were used in fashion and costuming as well as in feather dusters. Victim of World War I, after the feather market crash in 1914, ostriches became a viable commodity for their leather and meat untill after World War II, when feathers came into demand again.
Ostrich meat, once only served locally in South Africa (fresh and dried), has long been served in gourmet restaurants in Europe. Demand is growing in the Pacific Rim and in the United States as a satisfying alternative for red-meat lovers. Ostrich meat has been served in the United States in fine restaurants since 1992.
Because of the fright over Mad Cow Disease ostrich meat has attained an increasing level of acceptance in France, Italy, Switzerland and Belgium. There is a lot of ostrich meat about these days and it is clear that someone is trying to sell it to us.
Although the meat looks just like beef, it is very lean. It is lower in calories and cholesterol and higher in iron than any other red meat. The absence of fat also means that it is lower in fat, cholesterol and calories than beef, pork, chicken and turkey and although this gives it a different texture to beef after cooking, it is very juicy and tender when cooked properly.
Research determined that ostrich muscles are tender or medium tender. Cuts rated tender should be grilled, broiled, fried or pan-fried. Medium tender cuts should be cooked in a sauce or braised. And, all cuts can be roasted, cured or cooked as kebab or stir fried.
Because of its low fat content, ostrich cooks faster than other meat products. Steaks and whole muscles should be cooked medium rare to medium (140°-160°). Cooking ostrich to well done is not recommended.
There used to be an ostrich farm right here on the Costa, on the N-340, just on the La Linea turn off, some of the veteran residents may well remember it. I believe it was closed down because it was being used as a scam for pyramid selling.
Ostriches can be raised successfully in many climates and conditions, however the birds are making a big difference for countries like China where land is limited, but the need for food is high. The birds are able to utilize wasteland better than any other meat animal. They eat grass and roughage and don't compete for human food.
Ostriches are raised on small farms and on large ranches. Eggs are incubated and hatched. During the grow-out phase the birds may be kept in large paddocks. Breeders are kept in pairs, trios or colonies.
The ostrich association says neither the U.S. Department of Agriculture nor the Census Bureau tracks the ostrich population as they do other species of livestock, but based on a survey of its membership, the association estimates there are between 350,000 and 500,000 ostriches of all ages in the United States alone.
Some facts about ostriches:
They are of the Ratite family, which means flightless bird.
An Ostrich will live to be 50 - 75 years old.
The Ostrich is the largest living bird in the world.
Although an ostrich egg is the largest of all eggs,it is the smallest egg in relation to the size of the bird.
The Ostrich is native to Africa, yet thrives in countries all over the world.
The Ostrich egg will weigh 1600 gm and is equivalent to 2 dozen chicken eggs.
Adult males are eight to ten feet in height and weigh 350-400 pounds.
An Ostrich Hen can lay 40 -100 eggs per year, averaging about 60 eggs per year.
The male is black with white wing tips and tail plumes.
Ostrich eggs hatch in 42 days.
The female has light brown and grey plumage and is slightly smaller than the male.
An Ostrich chick grows one foot taller each month until it is 7-8 months old.
This great bird has two toes; all other birds have three or four toes.
Females sit on eggs by day;
males sit on eggs by night.
The Ostrich can run at speeds of up to 40 MPH for sustained times.
To soft boil a fresh egg would take one hour. To hard boil it would take 1 1/2 hours.

Q: AIX ACLs difference "permit" versus "specify" What's the difference in AIX ACLs with permit versus specify:
This is what the documentation says:
"The permit, deny, and specify keywords are defined as follows:
permit
    Grants the user or group the specified access to the file
deny
    Restricts the user or group from using the specified access to the file
specify
    Precisely defines the file access for the user or group

If a user is denied a particular access by either a deny or a specify keyword, no other entry can override that access denial."

source: https://www.ibm.com/docs/el/aix/7.1?topic=system-aixc-access-control-list
Don't know if this is a very subtle english issue, and me not being native speaker.
Want to understand the difference.
Here an example:
attributes: SUID
base permissions:
    owner  (frank): rw-
    group (system): r-x
    others        : ---
extended permissions:
    enabled
        permit    rw-    u:dhs
        deny      r--    u:chas,    g:system
        specify   r--    u:john,    g:gateway, g:mail
        permit    rw-    g:account, g:finance

both "specify" and "permit" seem to work the same.
Edit:
Thank you user sllabres for the detailed answer.

A: Interesting question.
From a quick check there is a difference who overlapping permissions are combined.
If you there is a user with read permission to a file and write permission via a group and both are 'permit' ACL, the user is able to read and write to the file. (the permissions are logically ORed together)
If there is a 'specify' ACL with e.g. only read permissions, only the read permissions are valid and the write permissions from e.g. a group are ignored.
If there are multiple 'specify' ACL they seem to be logically AND combined.
Example
testuser@testserver: /home/testuser >
# aclget test
*
* ACL_type   AIXC
*
attributes:
base permissions
    owner(root):  rw-
    group(system):  ---
    others:  -w-
extended permissions
    disabled
    permit   r--     u:testuser

With this permissions (disabled ACL) user 'testusr' can write to the file test (permissions from other) but not read.
testuser@testserver: /home/testuser >
# echo "data" > test
testuser@testserver: /home/testuser >
# cat test
cat: 0652-050 Cannot open test.
testuser@testserver: /home/testuser >

Enabling the ACL results in the ability to read the file, but 'testusr' cannot longer read to it due to the ACL having only specific read permissions now.
# aclget test
*
* ACL_type   AIXC
*
attributes:
base permissions
    owner(root):  rw-
    group(system):  ---
    others:  -w-
extended permissions
    enabled
    permit   r--     u:testuser
testuser@testserver: /home/testuser >
# echo "data" > test
The file access permissions do not allow the specified action.
ksh: test: 0403-005 Cannot create the specified file.
testuser@testserver: /home/testuser >
# cat test
data

Extending the ACL with the users group (staff) and write permissions for the group results in read permissions due to testuser being permitted to read in the ACL and write permissions via the staff group which testuser is member of. (logical ORed)
# aclget test
*
* ACL_type   AIXC
*
attributes:
base permissions
    owner(root):  rw-
    group(system):  ---
    others:  -w-
extended permissions
    enabled
    permit   r--     u:testuser
    permit   -w-     g:staff
testuser@testserver: /home/testuser >
# echo "data" > test
testuser@testserver: /home/testuser >
# cat test
data

If read permissions for the user is change from 'permit' to 'specify' only the read permissions are valid, and the write permissions via the staff group not longer vaild.
# aclget test
*
* ACL_type   AIXC
*
attributes:
base permissions
    owner(root):  rw-
    group(system):  ---
    others:  -w-
extended permissions
    enabled
    specify  r--     u:testuser
    permit   -w-     g:staff
testuser@testserver: /home/testuser >
# echo "hi" > test
The file access permissions do not allow the specified action.
ksh: test: 0403-005 Cannot create the specified file.
testuser@testserver: /home/testuser >
# cat test
data

If both ACL in this example u:testuser and g:staff are changed to 'specify' no read or write access is allowed (logical AND)
# aclget test
*
* ACL_type   AIXC
*
attributes:
base permissions
    owner(root):  rw-
    group(system):  ---
    others:  -w-
extended permissions
    enabled
    specify  r--     u:testuser
    specify  -w-     g:staff
testuser@testserver: /home/testuser >
# echo "data" > test
The file access permissions do not allow the specified action.
ksh: test: 0403-005 Cannot create the specified file.
testuser@testserver: /home/testuser >
# cat test
cat: 0652-050 Cannot open test.

Changing the specify ACL g:staff permission to read and write only the read permission is granted and not read and write permissions as it would be with an allow ACL.
# aclget test
*
* ACL_type   AIXC
*
attributes:
base permissions
    owner(root):  rw-
    group(system):  ---
    others:  -w-
extended permissions
    enabled
    specify  r--     u:testuser
    specify  rw-     g:staff
testuser@testserver: /home/testuser >
# echo "hi" > test
The file access permissions do not allow the specified action.
ksh: test: 0403-005 Cannot create the specified file.
testuser@testserver: /home/testuser >
# cat test
data
testuser@testserver: /home/testuser >

My parents bought Eli the game Pie Face for Christmas, and the kids have been begging us to play with them. Since there was no school yesterday, we had Family Game Night on Sunday after dinner.
It was so much fun watching everyone anxiously turn the wheel hoping not to get hit.
Of course everyone ends up getting a "pie" in the face, and we all just laugh.
I'll be honest and say that I was a little skeptical because I don't need anything else to clean-up, but this was well worth it.
Just look at the joy on these sweet, little faces. I can't wait until our next family game night so that we can play it again.

'It'll be to their detriment': Jalen Suggs warns teams that pass on him
Projected top-five pick Jalen Suggs issued a warning to those teams that may pass on him Thursday in the NBA draft as the former Gonzaga Bulldogs guard believes highly in his future in the league.
Suggs was named a consensus second-team All-American after averaging 14.4 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.9 steals in 30 games. He helped lead the Zags to the national title game after draining the game-winning shot over UCLA in the Final Four.
The 20-year-old has been highly touted as a potential franchise-changing type of prospect given his skillset as a point guard and ability to lead his team. He is highly touted for his court vision as the lead ballhandler and is among the most athletic players in the class.
With his ability, Suggs knows he can perform with any NBA team.
I know I'll thrive in whatever system, whatever city I end up in. I would say the (teams) that do pass up on me, and take another prospect, it'll come back. It'll be to their detriment. You look at my track record, what I've done and where I've been, it's always winning at the highest level. My play has been at the highest level. As far as that goes, if somebody else makes a decision that's not me, that's their opinion. I can never be angry at them for that. But I don't forget those kinds of things. That's the kind of competitor I am.
Suggs is also regarded as one of the most competitive players in the class. He has won seemingly at every level to this point of his career and has proven to be successful in nearly every situation. Certainly, executives and scouts find value in his ability to make his teams better.
During the pre-draft process, Suggs has worked on fine-tuning several aspects of his game. He is a player that can do it all on the court but still knows there is more room to grow.
I think anybody and everybody — the best players in the league going into offseasons — there is always room to improve. The best shooters can always be better, the best ballhandlers and finishers. I think just, overall, looking to really become a perfectionist in all of the areas I feel like I'm really good at. I don't feel like there is a true weakness in my game you can really exploit. I think I'm really looking to perfect all of those things and get them to an elite level.
When it comes to the top of the draft board, Suggs is regarded as one of the prospects that will hear his name called early. He is most commonly projected to be the fourth overall pick, and would likely fit in well with the Toronto Raptors if that is the selection.
Certainly, Suggs is confident in his abilities and firmly believes as though he will emerge as one of the best players from this class. Of course, only time will tell if that happens.
The NBA draft is scheduled to begin Thursday at 8 p.m. EDT on ESPN.

I've encountered this strange bug twice and I'm not able to figure it out.
When creating a scene with more than one linked groups (linked from other .blend) , sometimes a material will, for no reason, have its texture switched with an other material from another object.
just guessing - maybe you didn't choose UV layouts in texture mapping?
I'm joining a zipped file with 3 blends, hoping you can figure it out, I might be doing something wrong.
scene_white_stripes_bugreport is the main file, the other two are the two groups linked in the main file. I'm using the addon.
but that doesn't speak to me.
Renaming textures fixed it for now, thank you for very fast anwser.

Crazy Infinity War Fan-Theory Reveals The Film's True Villain
By animatedtimes September 30, 2018No Comments
Infinite Stones are an essential part of Avengers: Infinity War. The film concentrated on Thanos and his dream to attain all six Infinity stones and use them to wipe out half of the universe's existence.
But what if Thanos isn't the villain and Infinity Stones are? Specifically the Mind Stone. That's exactly what Reddit user "zaneman777" stated in his theory. His theory states that the Mind Stone is actually the villain across nearly all the films in the MCU. Here's what he says:
(MCU) The true villian in Infinity War is the Mind Stone. from r/FanTheories
The theory states that Mind Stone is actually the mastermind (pun intended) behind the plan to wipe out half the universe and that's what is manipulating every character who possesses it. It is certainly an interesting thought and there are some valid points the theory makes, especially how Thor gets troubled by Loki's behaviour in Avengers. Vision seems to be the only one who doesn't have a negative impact from the Stone though many fans even suggested that Vision was exempted from the Stone's corruption as he had been created by Ultron for evil purpose and that was reversed by the Mind Stone.
This theory might sound compelling but it just comes off as yet another thought from a fan trying to sort out who the real guy in Infinity War is. Even Kevin Smith recently explained on his podcast, Fatman Beyond that Thanos could be a hero as he only chose to wipe out half the existence when he could have easily wiped all of it.
"Controversial choice, Thanos. From a certain perspective he's a hero," Smith said. "He could have literally wiped out everybody with one snap. I call that mercy."
Avengers 4 will hit the theatres on May 3, 2019.

Globaltechexport Ltd. supplies turboexpanders for hydrocarbon processing, air separation, chilldown and renewable power generation. We also provide service maintenance, repair, upgrading and re-engineering services and manufacture spare parts for turboexpanders of various brands.
Expander-compressors are used in process cycles to decrease gas temperature (enthalpy) in petrochemical and gas processing industries, air separation and other cryogenic processes.
Gas expansion at the turboexpander impeller results in a rapid temperature drop, which is used in the process for cooling down to cryogenic temperatures. Energy generated during gas expansion at the turboexpander impeller is transferred by the common shaft to the compressor impeller and then utilized in the process unit.
Energy generated during gas expansion at the turboexpander impeller is converted into electric power through a generator installed on the other end of the shaft.
Expanders with hydrodynamic brake compensation are an efficient source of cooling power. Energy generated during gas expansion at the turboexpander impeller is compensated by the brake wheel that rotates in gas, or liquid on the other end of the shaft.
Expander-generators are used for power generation mainly at gas distribution stations and plants. Their capacity ranges from 15 kW to 10 MW. Asynchronous or synchronous generators may be used as requested by the Customer.
Bearings are fed by either an oil pump block, or an electronic system for magnetic bearings.
Oil system can be either water cooled, or air cooled as requested by the Customer. Water cooled oil coolers can be of various designs depending on the cooling water quality.
Gas is discharged from the oil tank to the compressor stage inlet safely and environmentally friendly via a dedicated oil separator. No complaints regarding the quality of discharged gas have been received from the Customers.
Any viscosity issues are solved by use of higher viscosity oil. Oil viscosity is stabilized at the required level in a week of operation. No anomalies in turboexpander operation have been registered during the first week. Oil bearings of expander-compressors of any capacity lose about 15…25 kW. Oil pumps consume about 1.5…2.5 kW.
Oil cooling is not a problem in case of poor water quality, or air temperatures above 35°С without a self-contained cooling system.
Mechanical oil supply system or electronic magnetic bearing system is available.

Speed limits on Texas highways are set by the 85th percentile method, which represents the speed the majority of drivers will be traveling at or below. This is a sound engineering principle used to set speed limits on highways nationwide for the past 60 years.
Speed checks are conducted to determine the 85th percentile speed. The observed free-flowing speed for vehicles is tallied and the 85th percentile speed is calculated using gathered information. To ensure a true reflection of a normal traffic situation, speed checks are made on average weekdays during off-peak hours, under favorable weather conditions.
The data collected typically shows roadway features such as curves, surface width and type, right-of-way width, crash history, cross streets, school crossings and sites that generate traffic. Engineers design speed zones based on this information.
Once the study is completed, black on white speed limit signs are posted along the roadway to alert drivers of the maximum legal speed for that section of roadway.
Can a Speed Limit Be Too Low?
There are disadvantages to setting speed limits far below the 85th percentile speed. If reasonable drivers see an unreasonably low speed limit without seeing a need to drive that slowly, they tend to ignore the signs and develop disrespect for speed limits in general.
When a speed limit is set below the 85th percentile, law enforcement officials must deal with reasonable people being ticketed for exceeding the posted limit as well as motorists who drive too fast.


A few months ago, I told you guys about straws that help flavor milk. We finally got our hands on some and wanted to let you know what we thought. The straws come in packs of six and are available in three flavors: banana, strawberry and chocolate. However, because today is National Chocolate Milk Day, we're going to focus on the chocolate.
I started off by taking a pint of milk and dividing into three cups. Then I put one straw into each cup. The straws are rather unique, they're a bit larger than normal straws and have three small openings on each end. The openings are big enough to allow milk to pass through, but small enough that the chocolate "beads" don't escape.
To be honest, I was expecting it to taste overly sweet and weird, but it was surprisingly good and rather interesting. There was no clumping powder or syrupy mess, instead all the chocolate remained in the straw. In fact, you might even say it was like a chocolate filter. As the milk passed through, it slowly dissolved the beads and created a flavor infusion. After several minutes of the straw in my glass, my milk had a very light brown hue, and eventually the beads dissolved completely.
If you've got kids, or are one at heart, this will make a great afternoon surprise. The product, which is produced by Felfodi, was just announced at the Candy Expo and will hit the shelves soon.


Lately, I've been thinking about the way to deliver private iOS frameworks to users using Cocoapods.
Firstly, don't get me wrong, I do love open source, I embrace the way of its approach, and even put tagline Open source by default on my Twitter profile. Yup, I do understand that not every situation or entity can go all-in with such approach. There will be certain circumstance that the project needs to be in closed-source forever, or for certain time period until it can be open, or due to as part of the deal that makes open source is not an option.
Whatever the reason it might be, having Cocoapods as your delivery and dependency management is still a leading choice. I do point it out because if we're going to deliver frameworks privately through Cocoapod, there's going to be additional effort.
Let's first understand the underlying system of Cocoapods, until we come to overall big picture of model to use it.
Under the hood, there are 2 main things that work together for Cocoapods.
Specs repo contains multiple .podspec files. Main Spec repo of Cocoapods is used to serve general public frameworks to users. Your pod install command will check to see information from this repo, and go down to check .podspec file for specific version of target framework in order to know URL to pull down framework's source code then finally integrate it with your Xcode project. See example of .podspec file here.
You notice that Spec repo is public, thus also .podspec file. Anyone can take a peek, and get relavent information. Now you see the problem that such information can lead to information breached in term of closed-source approach. They might get to know which client you work with, or github URL. With those two information, competitors can imply or even try to download the project source code (if permission is not set properly, yup github project as served on Cocoapods can be set to be private. It's just a matter how who can access.).
Create a proper .podspec file and set its source field to use URL as result from 3.
To gain the benefit of setting the permission of Specs repo, you have only option which is to do self-host of it. Even you do self-host, you also have an option of setting access permission to be in public or private. In this case, we're primarily interested in private access.
Cocoapods has official document on how to host private Specs repo.
I came across this well explained article of how to publish a universal binary iOS framework using Cocoapods.
Only difference from what we're trying achieving compared to that article is that, the author publishes it publicly. But we want it in private. Thus we have no need to involve using pod trunk ... command as we don't publish to the main public Specs repo but to our private one.
Upload such built frameworks to our public server. Ensure that it's in universal binary form thus it can be used to run on device and simulator. Ensure that you didn't include any source code with it. Normally, aim for .zip file. The content of .zip file mainly contains .framework along with README or any relavent files if you need. All of them are at the same level. It might be as follows.
strip-frameworks.sh is usually needed at the end when users want to publish the result application to AppStore. It will help stripping un-needed architecture from frameworks being in use. You can see and make use of strip-frameworks.sh by Realm. Insert it insidee Build Phases.
Properly create a .podspec file to match the version of such framework. The most important thing is source field instead of providing github URL, you provide the end-result of URL of .zip for users to download.
Now it's time for a big picture to see how everything gets involved. Please note that I observe the main Specs repo's file structure then compare with our private one, there is slightly difference. So I include it here too.
I cloned the project and inspected, the following is what I found.
I came up with two possible models; Variant A, and B.
Public server to host built (.zip) frameworks.
It allows another layer to control which party (client) can see such Specs repo. Imagine if we have 2 clients. Each client might use multiple of frameworks and are different from ones used by another client.
Thus we will have 2 private Specs repo one for each client.
We need to allow users (github account) to have read access towards such Specs repo. So when they pull down via configured Podfile, it will be fine.
Additional layer to manage and control which party can have access to which frameworks via private Specs repo.
It has no control layer over which party or users should have access towards our framework. Thus there is no need to create private Specs repo and manage (allow users access) to it.
One caveat is that if users inspect the content inside Specs repo, they will have information for all frameworks we have, and might be able to know which client we work with. But it might be less likely for normal users as when they're done with configuring Podfile, usually they have no time or interest to study our Specs repo. Even if they do so, they have to try by trial and error to use the framework as most likely we will deliver document to client privately too.
No additional effort to manage each private Specs repository as there is none to manage.

A White House Ghost Story
The White House at night – Washington DC, United States. By Orhan Cam, Shutterstock. There are plenty of White House ghost stories.
Winston Churchill encounters Lincoln: The most famous White House ghost story
What would you do if you stepped out of the bath tub stark naked – with only a cigar dangling from your mouth – to encounter the ghost of Abraham Lincoln standing in your bedroom? That's exactly happened to Winston Churchill, if you believe Washington lore. Churchill, who'd been visiting the White House during WWII and staying in the Lincoln bedroom, simply removed the cigar from his mouth and said, "Good evening, Mr. President. You seem to have me at a disadvantage." Lincoln, leaning against the fireplace mantle, smiled and disappeared.
Sir, I believe I am the only man in the world to have received the head of a nation naked.
The story is so famous it made both the Washington Post and a Fact Sheet from The White House Historical Association. But is it true?

Putting the White House ghost story to the test
Richard M. Langworth, a Senior Fellow of the Hillsdale Churchill Project, tackled the White House ghost encounter as a research question. He says the Churchill-Lincoln encounter evolved from a Churchill-Roosevelt encounter that really happened in December 1941 or January 1942. The Japanese had recently attacked Pearl Harbor, the United States had entered the war, and Roosevelt was hosting Churchill at the White House.
Yup, Churchill was naked, but it wasn't Lincoln he encountered
Roosevelt had just thought up of a great name to call a new international organization he wanted to found after the war: The United Nations. Excited, Roosevelt wheeled himself into Churchill's bedroom to share his idea. He entered just as Churchill stepped naked from his bathroom. "The Prime Minister of Great Britain has nothing to hide from the President of the United States," Churchill quipped.
One of Churchill's bodyguards and one of his secretaries confirmed the story, so it's likely true. Although Churchill publically claimed to have had at least a bath towel wrapped around him, he did tell King George VI when he returned from Washington, "Sir, I believe I am the only man in the world to have received the head of a nation naked."

Langworth also referred the White House ghost question to Lewis Lehrman, a Lincoln and Churchill scholar. Langworth says Churchill never stayed in the Lincoln bedroom. He didn't like the bed. Eleanor Roosevelt put him in the Rose Room instead.
Disappointed? Try some other White House ghost stories

That's one great ghost story shot down, but if you're up for White House ghosts during the Halloween season, there's apparently plenty of them. Lincoln's ghost has appeared up till the 1980s. There's also Mary Todd Lincoln, Willie Lincoln, Andrew Jackson laughing and swearing, Thomas Jefferson playing his violin, John Tyler proposing to Julia Gardner, his second wife, in the Blue Room, Dolly Madison fuddling around in the garden, and Abigail Adams hanging up her laundry in the East Room. Check out the Washington Post article and White House Historical Association Fact Sheet listed below.
My advice? Just try not to be naked when you encounter any White House ghosts. They might not be as understanding as Lincoln. (I can hear Dolly Madison and Abigail Adams screaming already.)
But at least you now know how the United Nations got its name.

Lincoln's dog Fido: A Faithful Pet Assassinated Like His Master
Lincoln's dog Fido (1860); public domain.
Two theories on the popularity of the name "Fido"
Fido.
Do you actually know a dog with that name? It's so cliché no one names their dog Fido anymore. Fido has instead become a generic name for dogs: "Bring Fido on vacation." "Is expensive dog food really good for Fido?"
How did Fido become so popular that the name became generic?
Dog lovers and historians have advanced two theories. One is that Abraham Lincoln's dog Fido influenced the name's popularity, the other that is was the Italian dog Fido in WWII. Which theory is right? We'll look at both against the backdrop of the popular literature of the day to find a clear winner. You might want to have a box of tissues because both of these stories are sad.
Lincoln's dog Fido: Assassinated like his master
Articles in both Psychology Today and the American Kennel Club attribute the popularity of the name to Lincoln's dog Fido.
Pharmacy records in Springfield, Illinois indicate Lincoln had a dog already in 1855. He purchased de-worming medication. That dog was probably "Fido," a yellow lab mix, of whom a few photographs survive. Lincoln decided not to take Fido with him to the White House and left his dog in the care of a friend while he was gone.
A year after Lincoln's assassination, Fido also met tragedy. A drunken man was sitting on the curb. Fido jumped up him with his dirty paws. In an intoxicated rage, the man knifed the dog. That's how Lincoln's dog Fido met his end. Assassinated like his master, said Johnny Roll, a member of Fido's adoptive family.
Fido's reputation as the First Pooch, the first presidential dog ever photographed, and as assassinated pet catapulted the name Fido into enduring popularity.
Tuscanycalling, Dante Square and monument to the Italian Fido, Wikipedia Creative Commons.
The Italian Fido: Ever faithful
A book on dog names attributes the popularity of Fido to an Italian dog belonging to Carlo Soriano. Soriano rescued the dog and named him Fido ("I am faithful"). Thereafter Fido waited for Soriano's bus every day to accompany him home from work. One day during WWII, Soriano was killed in an air raid while at work. Fido continued to wait for his master at the bus stop every day – another fourteen years – until the dog's death. Fido's faithfulness received worldwide attention. Italy even erected a statue of Fido to commemorate his faithfulness.
So which dog made the name Fido famous?
If you peruse old newspapers, you'll find dogs named Fido going all the back to the 18th century. Lincoln's dog Fido wasn't the first with that name. After Lincoln's death, however, the name occurs more frequently in online newspaper searches, but it's hard to tell whether that's due to increased popularity of the name or the availability of more newspapers for that time period.
"Fido" appears as a generic dog name in a mock trial in 1906. "Administrator's Notice," Mexico Missouri Message (Feb. 22, 1906). Public domain.
An 1875 review of clerical records of registered dog names a good thermometer reading of the popularity their popularity. Fido was tied for the third most popular, preceded only by Jip and Carlo. Another survey of dog licensing records in Bakersfield, CA indicates that Fido had almost completely dropped out of the list by 1900. Only one person named their dog Fido. A Minneapolis paper of 1901, however, indicates that Fido was still a popular name at a dog show.
By 1906, Fido begins to appear as a generic term for dogs. It was used as the name for a fictional dog in a mock trial. And in 1910, a satirical article about dogs appeared by an author named "Fido."
"Fido" is already writing newspaper articles by 1908. Fido, "There's Nothing Nowadays Like Being a Flossie Little Dog," The Spokane Press (July 15, 1908). Public domain.
All that indicates that Fido was popular canine name long before the Italian Fido was even born. Hence, it's Lincoln's dog Fido, the assassinated pet, to whom we should attribute the enduring popularity of the name.

YCAT at the Wigmore Hall: Savitri Grier & Richard Uttley play Poulenc, Messiaen & Beethoven
Posted on March 10, 2018 by arcanafm
Savitri Grier (violin, above), Richard Uttley (piano, below – photo credit Cathy Pyle)
Poulenc Violin Sonata (1942-3)
Messiaen Theme and Variations (1932)
Beethoven Sonata for Violin and Piano in C minor Op.30/2 (1803)
Wigmore Hall, London; Tuesday 6 March 2018
Written by Ben Hogwood
I cannot recommend the YCAT Lunchtime Concert series at the Wigmore Hall highly enough. It gives us a chance to see the professional classical performers of tomorrow, and allows appreciation of just how much young talent there still is, waiting to be discovered. The YCAT (Young Classical Artists Trust) scheme gives an incredibly valuable service to classical music, giving young artists selected through a rigorous audition process the security of career guidance, a dedicated artist manager and a concert platform including appearances such as this at the Wigmore Hall.
This particular recital brought a current member of the scheme, violinist Savitri Grier, and an 'alumni', pianist Richard Uttley, who is building an impressive portfolio headed by contemporary music. This well chosen program showed the two have an extremely sound musical chemistry, and also showed Grier to be a formidable violinist of full tone and strong personality.
She immediately took command of the Poulenc Violin Sonata, so much so that even at the back of the hall it was easy to appreciate the depth and breadth of her phrasing. On occasion the artists were even a touch too loud, but that could hardly be considered a massive problem, especially with the virtuosity and crisp ensemble on display in the outer movements. The slightly resentful Adagio slow movement, written in the midst of the Second World War, showed the pair at their most sensitive, reigning in the volume to give some softly voiced thoughts that were truly touching.
Messiaen's Theme and Variations occupy a rather singular place in the composer's output, but show what he was to become – and convinced a young Pierre Boulez when he heard them that he had to study with the composer. The theme itself is mysterious, and both performers enjoyed this and the already expansive harmonic language adopted by the composer. Gradually the variations grew in intensity, reaching an impressive apex.
Mozart and Beethoven were the two composers to advance the Violin Sonata into the 19th century, writing as they were for the violin and piano as equal instruments. If anything Beethoven's C minor example, the second of his game changing Op.30 trio of works, makes greater demands on the piano – but it is arguably the most ambitious work of its time for the combination.
The second Beethoven 'C minor' work in consecutive days at the Wigmore Hall (see Monday's Leon McCawley recital for more), it exploded into life through an incredibly energetic and virtuosic performance. Both Grier and Uttley took a punchy approach to the first movement's trade-offs, their ensemble particularly secure, but as the work progressed there was also room for humour (in the third movement Scherzo) and a greater elegance (the second movement Adagio cantabile, sensitively played).
Beethoven's gruff exterior won out though, and in the finale, where Uttley rose to the demands of some fiendish scales demanded by the composer, there was a great tête-à-tête between the two players, an engaging game of cat and mouse where both were ultimately crowned the winners.

Chesterfield fans are involved in an endless guessing game of "What is our best line up"?
No one seems to know the answer to that question, as we are only out of the National League relegation places on goal difference.
Perhaps it's time this was sorted out.
Post-match after the draw against Havant and Waterlooville Martin Allen was asked who was our best striker and he replied that the man most likely to score goals for us had been sold at the start of the season to Notts County, in other words Kristian Dennis.
Our manager also reflected on how hard it was to bring in a recognised forward who could be 100% certain to bang goals in — very difficult it would seem.
The boss realises that Lee Shaw is taking some stick from fans and defended the lad who has come from Grantham and has given hard-running performances every week, despite still not registering on the score sheet.
And therein lies the problem. We managed to shut out the opposition and looked steady at the back, despite gifting one glaring opportunity just before half-time to Havant striker Alfie Pavey, who fell over the ball — but we can't put teams away.
Marc Antoine Fortune and Kyel Reid contributed very little to the first half, they weren't the only ones. There seemed virtually no player on our team who could make any difference to the game.
Having Weston and Reid playing wide meant few chances were created from those areas as neither of them seems to have much pace anymore.
Commentators in the press box who had come up from Hampshire were saying that our team looked nervous and lacking in confidence and it's difficult to disagree.
Well what a difference a substitute or two makes, Tom Denton is there to allow the team to play a simple diagonal ball and bring others into play, according to Martin Allen. He won nearly every header, it's just a pity that many of his team-mates couldn't read where the ball was going.
The encouraging news is that if you put teenage Levi Amantchi next to Denton, suddenly we've got a partnership up front. With Shaw running hard down the wing, then Havant were stretched and chances were created.
Just a shame that Ben Dudzinski was in such great form in the Havant goal, although he wasn't alone in keeping the score level.
There was a brilliant two-handed save from one of his defenders and a marvellous push in the back on Denton that was seen by everyone in the ground apart from the referee, both of which should have seen spot-kicks given to Chesterfield.
So Tuesday night in the cup against Billericay, and then againt Eastleigh, our formation is anyone's guess.


A 28 year-old Napanee woman died Sunday following injuries suffered while riding an ATV on the Cataraqui Trail north of Camden East.
The collision occurred on the trail approximately 200 metres east of County Road 4. A female and male were travelling eastbound on an Arctic Cat four wheeler when it struck a metal gate that was across the trail.
Both parties were transported to hospital with serious injuries.
The female, identified as 28 year-old Miranda Shaddick, succumbed to her injuries at hospital. The male remains in hospital with serious injuries.
OPP Technical Traffic Collision Investigators attended the scene and the collision remains under investigation.

Amid calls to 'defund,' study finds residents want to keep Baltimore police budget, invest more in schools – Baltimore Sun
While protests erupted across America following the death of George Floyd and "Defund the police" became a familiar rallying cry of the racial justice movement, Baltimore activist Ray Kelly noticed a key perspective missing from the national debate.
He wanted to hear from the people whose lives were at stake: those living in communities most impacted by violent crime, police misconduct, growing poverty and persistent disinvestment — communities like Sandtown-Winchester, the West Baltimore neighborhood where Freddie Gray died from injuries suffered in police custody five years before the wave of protests that gripped the nation in summer 2020.
"There were thousands of people protesting, but most weren't from these impacted communities," Kelly said. "As we saw 'defund' and 'refund' and all these taglines coming into play, we wanted to focus on listening and elevating their voices."
His relatively new West Baltimore-based organization, the Citizens Policing Project, designed a study that involved interviewing community members about public safety, asking open-ended questions about their personal experiences, attitudes toward the police and proposed solutions. Kelly established the organization in 2018 to advocate for increased civilian oversight of the police department.
When asked whether they supported calls to defund police, only about 30% of more than 1,000 people the group interviewed said yes, according to a recent report that Kelly authored based on findings from the study.
"The immediate reaction … usually was to emphasize how violent and dangerous our streets are," the report says.
Supporters of the defund movement in Baltimore want to transfer money directly from the police budget to schools, affordable housing, drug treatment and mental health programs — services meant to address the root causes of violence. Their voices likely will enter upcoming discussions about the city's proposed 2023 budget, which was released Monday and calls for increasing police…

Q: Modification in knight's tour problem So i have a modified knight's tour problem. The problem is the following , is there an algorithm that can give you the route(if possible the shortest) from (1,1) to (n,m) in a chessboard of the knight piece? And also if some blocks are blocked
Eg. i have 3x5 chessboard and the blocks (2,3) and (2,5) are blocked. Is there a possible route for my knight to go from (1,1) to (3,5) without my knight stepping on the denied blocks( it can go through them but not stay on them)

A: Sure. Your chessboard (or the unblocked cells) form a graph, where each cell is a vertex of the graph, and each allowed knight-move from one node to another defines an edge. The shortest path for the knight then can be found by a simple breadth-first search.
To implement this, use a 2D integer array for representing the grid. Simply assign the value zero  to the starting cell, then determine all cells reachable in one move from there and mark them with 1, then loop through all 1 cells, determine all cells reachable in one move from there which were not visited before and mark them with "2", and so on, until you reached the final node (n,m). You will need some special values indicating blocked cells and cells not visited so far.
To get the final path from the 2D array, start a search at (n,m). Lets say this cell got the number k, so look for a knights-move neighbour with value k-1, then from there for a neighbour with value k-2, and so on. This will produce the path you were looking for in reverse order.

Q: CSS/SASS method for fixing div I hope you'll have an answer for me.
In CSS there's the property background-attachment: fixed; which looks really fancy, so my question is there any property which I can use to "fix" some divs with text's etc. in the document?
If not, how to solve it in Typescript?
I hope you know what I mean
//edit:
Okay, i will try to describe it: with the property background-attachment: fixed; the background of a div is fixed but not it's content, so a parallax effect appears, like this: w3schools.com/howto/tryhow_css_parallax_demo.htm And know I wanted to know if it is possible to do the same with the content like texts etc.

A: Can you try it like this ?

As one of the top diving areas in the world, the Similan Islands in Thailand boast impressive marine biodiversity and are almost exclusively reachable by liveaboard.
The Similan Islands consist of 9 granite islands located 40 miles (65km) off the west coast of Thailand in the Andaman Sea. There are no dive resorts on the islands because they have been protected as a marine park since 1982. Diving in the Similan Islands is almost exclusively possible by liveaboard. Most of the liveaboard cruises in the Similan Islands last between 2 and 7 nights. The Junk and the SY Diva Andaman are both sailing vessels built in a traditional, wooden style. While these boats can be a bit noisy when compared to steel vessels, the luxury and style of their interiors woo divers. On the other hand, the Thailand Aggressor and the MV Andaman Queen are both steel-hulled ships with an emphasis on service. Finally, the Flying Seahorse and the Marco Polo offer dive safaris for budget-conscious divers.
The Similan Islands are most popular among lovers of colorful coral reefs and big marine life. The strong currents and deep channels off their west coast attract whale sharks and manta rays during scuba diving season. In addition, the reef life is fantastic. On a good trip, you might spot giant trevally, scorpion fish, mantis shrimp, blue-spotted rays and cleaner shrimp. Dive sites in the Similan Islands can be split into two categories. The first are found along the eastern edge of the islands. These boast (mostly) healthy coral reefs, pristine visibility and weak current. On the other hand, the dive sites found along the western edge of the islands feature steep drop-offs, heavy current and the opportunity to spot the aforementioned pelagic species. Don't expect to see many wrecks in the Similan Islands. The dive sites are almost exclusively coral reefs and drifts among walls and boulders. Some of the dive sites in the Similan Islands are suitable to beginners while other should be reserved for advanced divers due to their depths and heavy currents. It's best to check with the dive operator regarding the necessary level for a specific itinerary.
The best time to dive in the Similan Islands is from November to May. The islands are only open during these months. From June to October, local authorities close access to the Similan Islands because of the monsoon season and for conservation purposes. Within the period from November to May, several important events occur for optimal diving. In February, currents increase, attracting several pelagic species such as whale sharks and manta rays. Also during November to May, you can expect sea temperatures of 79 to 84°F (26 to 29°C). These warm temperatures mean that most likely you'll be comfortable in a 3mm shorty or full wetsuit. Because of the remote location afforded to the Similan Islands, visibility is very good on average. While visibility can change from west to east, more than likely it will fall within the 82-130 feet (25-40m) range. Finally, surface conditions in the Similan Islands are generally stable from November to May. Dive site moorings are protected from the ocean open, and the journey to the islands is fairly easy during non-monsoon months.
There are two main departure ports for Similan Islands liveaboards. The first is Chalong Pier in Phuket while the second, and more popular port, is Thap Lamu Pier in Khao Lak. The most popular airport to fly into is Phuket International Airport. Some liveaboard operators provide transfers to and from the airport. Other liveaboards will require that you make your way to the port on your own accord.


Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas and a peaceful holiday season. Thanks everyone for following my blog. Lots of interesting things for the new year so looking forward to share them with you.

Tyler Joseph's Dad Shares Meaning Behind Twenty One Pilots' 'Johnny Boy'
In a recent interview with The Pop Song Professor, Tyler Joseph's dad, Chris Joseph, has explained the meaning behind the band's track 'Johnny Boy', which is featured on their 2009 self-titled record.
He has explained that the song is about him after the economic crisis of 2007/2008.
"One song, it's called 'Johnny Boy,' it was at a point where I was in a private school. It was when the economy wasn't doing well. I was an admissions director and they needed to, well, I didn't have that position anymore. They said 'Hey, we gotta get rid of this position.' And I was without a job for a while. A lot of people were out of work at that time.
He [Tyler] wrote the song 'Johnny Boy.' Like, here's his hero, he puts in the song here's my hero. He talks about being able to fix a chair and do all these things, but 'I'm seeing him in a humble state right now.' I was looking for a position at that time. We weren't starving by any means. It didn't last that long but that song really bothered me.
But that song was interesting from his perspective. Looking at his dad.
I was Johnny Boy. 'Get up, Johnny Boy' because you know it was during a time where things were tough because you know we made enough money to get by and I was unemployed for a matter of months. And he felt his dad…he probably felt insecure seeing that I was looking for another job. That might put it in perspective for you."

Which Tools Are Best for New Homeowners?
New homeowners spend a lot of time making repairs, assembling furniture and making home improvements. Having the right tools for the job is very important. Homeowners who buy a new home with tools already on hand can get started with their home improvements on day one. These tips can help new homeowners decide what kind of tools to purchase when escrow closes, so they can be prepared upon move in.
Everybody needs to have a good hammer on hand, and many homeowners need more than one. There are a variety of different types of hammers that can serve different purposes around the house. Most homeowners own at least one curved claw hammer for hanging pictures, installing shelves, assembling furniture and other common tasks around the house. When choosing a curved claw hammer, look for one that is between 16 and 20 ounces for most DIY projects.
Other hammers that homeowners often find helpful include the ball peen hammer (with a rounded end that can be useful for removing dents) and a sledgehammer for demolition work. On a related note, many homeowners also keep mallets on hand for pounding items that might suffer damage under the hard surface of a standard hammer.
Homeowners also need nails: lots and lots of nails. While nails have a way of accumulating in the house over time, many homeowners start their collection by purchasing nails in a range of sizes. New homeowners need nails for picture hanging, furniture assembly and related tasks. Having some on hand prevents the homeowner from making repeated trips to the hardware store and the house.
Next to the hammer and nails, there's nothing more essential than a screw driver and screws. There are two types of screwdrivers, Phillips head and slot head. The Phillips head screwdriver has a plus-shaped tip, while the slot-head screwdriver has a minus-shaped tip. Both are common, and both types of screwdrivers are essential to have around the house. In fact, many homeowners find it's important to have screwdrivers in different sizes, to fit with different types of screws.
Just as it's important to have nails of various sizes, it's also important to have screws of various sizes. This makes it easy to carry out simple home improvement projects.
In addition to the basic tools mentioned above, there are a variety of miscellaneous tools that homeowners should have on hand when they move into their new home.
Homeowners who assemble these tools in advance of moving into a Woodacre home will move into their home with a leg up on home improvement and repairs. Homeowners seeking more information about what kind of tools to have on hand can consult with a contractor or handyman. Asking an expert can help a new homeowner decide how much money to spend on tools.

Suspense, thriller, mystery, Romantic suspense.
Ethan Wilde, killer, con man, and deadly adversary returns home to make amends. No easy task considering the last time they met, he tried to murder Sierra Montgomery, and her lover Skinbone Harris.
Coming face to face with the man who once tried to kill her, memories come rushing back to haunt Sierra. She soon learns that it's easier to forgive than forget. As each of the players in the deadly game known as Foxtrot struggle to come to terms with Ethan's return, a close friend of Wally "The Shark" Marx turns up on their doorstep and all bets are off.
A teenage girl has vanished on Chicago's Gold Coast. Skinbone and Shark investigate the obvious suspects while Sierra retraces the girl's last steps. They lead her to an exclusive boutique on State Street, which Sierra quickly determines is a front for the Russian Mafia.
When Sierra goes missing, tension mounts and tempers flare. Skinbone races to find her while Shark and Ethan are forced to work together, a collaboration that ends in betrayal. The hunt to find the missing women heats up and a terrifying plot unfolds exposing Chicago's underbelly and its dark inhabitants.
State of Panic introduced a cast of compelling characters. Taken continues their journey, pitting brother against brother, trust is tested, and new alliances are formed.
State of Panic streaks at heart-throbbing speed through a dangerous tale of murder and deception.
Armed with a single clue — a dog-eared photograph with the word Foxtrot scribbled on the back — Sierra's life quickly spirals out of control. While on the run she uncovers her lover's cruel charade, and a secret explosive enough to get her killed.
Faced with a puzzle where none of the pieces fit, she enlists the aid of a cyber genius known as The Shark. Together they are drawn into a maze of smoke and mirrors where no one and nothing is as it seems.
As they race to discover the killer's identity Sierra fights a growing attraction to Skinbone Harris, a mysterious stranger with dark secrets of his own. The sparks between them result in a terrifying game of cat and mouse. Sierra and Shark discover they can trust no one. Determined to expose the truth before it's too late, they embark on a dangerous journey where not everyone survives.


Which investments are the most and least risky?
Cash equivalents include certificates of deposit, Treasury bills, money market funds and similar investments. They typically earn lower returns than stock or bond investments but present very little risk to your principal. Cash equivalents may help you cushion your losses in the event of a downturn in the stock or bond markets. Keep in mind that money market funds, while considered safe and conservative, are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation the way certificates of deposit may be.
Bonds / Fixed Income Investments include bonds and bond mutual funds. They're riskier than cash equivalents but are typically less risky to your principal than stocks. They also generally offer lower returns than stocks.
Stocks / Equity Investments include stocks and stock mutual funds. These investments are considered the riskiest of the three major asset classes, but they also offer the greatest potential for high returns.

Een deadname (dode naam) is de voornaam die iemand bij geboorte meekreeg, of de naam die iemand vroeger gebruikte, vooraleer de naam bewust veranderd werd door die persoon in een nieuw gekozen naam. Een deadname wordt meestal gebruikt in een transgendercontext.

Iemand 'deadnamen' wordt door sommigen beschouwd als kwetsend en beledigend. In bepaalde gevallen is iemand moedwillig bij de oude (of dode) naam noemen, wetende dat de drager van de naam voor een nieuwe naam koos, een vorm van intimidatie. Iemand 'deadnamen' gaat vaak gepaard met het 'misgenderen' van dezelfde persoon. Dan wordt niet alleen moedwillig de oude naam gebruikt, maar ook het vorige geslacht van de drager mocht die van geslacht veranderd zijn.

Not many people have interesting stories that include cannonballs. They usually spell disaster, as cannonball wounds are hard to recover from. However, getting struck by one was the event that God used to wrench St. Ignatius of Loyola out of a grand military career, and to call him into His holy service. CCO, and especially our founders, have a great love for St. Ignatius of Loyola and the Jesuits he founded, and their zeal for proclaiming the Gospel. On a recent visit to the Church of Sant'Ignazio in Rome with her family, Angèle Regnier (Co-founder) was impressed by the ceiling frescoes depicting Ignatius' heart going out to the four corners of the earth. With CCO distributing our Ultimate Relationship booklet to World Youth Day participants from the four corners of the world, this is a beautiful and appropriate reflection!
In times of great need – not unlike today – God raises up saints to be a light in the midst of darkness. This was especially true of St. Ignatius. Significantly, the year he had his conversion (1521) was the year Martin Luther, who sparked the Protestant Revolution against the Catholic Church, was excommunicated, formalizing his break with the Church. St. Ignatius of Loyola would later found the Society of Jesus (Jesuit Order) that effectively neutralized the rapid spread of the heresy. The Society's members were key participants in the true Catholic Reformation, and in the great missionary effort that the Church undertook.
Famously, the great voyage of Christopher Columbus began from Spain in 1492, ten months after St. Ignatius was born in the Spanish village of Loyola. By the age of 18, Ignatius, seeking fame and glory in the military, took up arms. For many years he was an asset to the Duke he fought for, until 1521, when his leg was wounded by a cannonball. The injury laid him up in bed, unable to do anything but read, which he did. He read a work on the Life of Christ, and stories of the lives of the Saints, which revolutionized his life. The heroic, virtuous, and sacrificial deeds of Christ and His Saints redirected his desire for fame and glory. He now wanted to be a saint for Christ.
When he was able to leave his bed, he visited a Benedictine monastery and laid his military gear before an image of the Black Madonna, and gave his clothes to a poor man. He practiced asceticism – that is various forms of difficult fasting, and prayer – and he suffered greatly. This experience helped Ignatius realize exactly what God was calling him to: spreading the true faith. Further, it helped him develop his book, the Spiritual Exercises, on spiritual discipline. He used his military training and teachings from the influential book The Life of Christ which he had read.
At age 38, Ignatius went to school to receive a formal education. He completed his Master's degree at age 44, and met men there who would take up his Spiritual Exercises, and join him in the Society of Jesus. The group was officially accepted by Pope Paul III in 1540, and by the time of St. Ignatius' death in 1556, they had founded 35 schools and had 1,000 members.
We can learn so much from St. Ignatius, including forming our Christian walk by the life of Christ and the Lives of the Saints, and engaging our missionary identity.
St. Ignatius of Loyola, pray for us!
Below I've included some pictures I took when I was in Rome with CCO for the canonization of St. André Bessette of Montréal in 2010. We visited the Jesuit College there and were blessed to have Mass in St. Ignatius' private quarters. The images are of some of St. Ignatius' personal items.
The last (fifth) image is of the ceiling fresco in Sant'Ignazio (St. Ignatius) Church in Rome.
The (fourth) image of the IHS was discovered while a team was cleaning the white-wash from the room, and uncovered this art from the 16th century.
***The IHS refers to the Holy Name of Jesus and is a strong devotion in the Society of Jesus – some claim it stands for 'In Hoc Signe' (Stands for: 'In This Sign', that is, the cross); or the first three letters of Jesus' name in Greek; or the Latin 'Iesus Hominem Salvatore' (Jesus, Savior of all men).
Not only a cannon ball, but a French cannon ball!

When it comes to fatigue there's no magic cure-all. In this post, we're going to talk about long-term strategies and things you can do right now to combat fatigue.
Fatigue makes everything more difficult. It's bad enough by itself, but it often results in fibro fog too: poor concentration, memory problems, and difficulty multitasking.
We're going to alternate between long-term tips to fight fatigue and related quick fixes. Let's dive into it!
Our first long-term strategy is just making sure you drink enough water.
Dehydration can often be mistaken for tiredness. Drinking enough water is of course important for your overall health; it's generally recommended that you drink about 3 liters of water per day.
One trick to make sure you drink enough water during the day is to fill up three 1-liter bottles of water to drink in the morning, afternoon, and evening.
Our first quick fix for fatigue is B Vitamin supplements. B Vitamins are essential for energy. We get them from eating various foods (mostly meat), but they're processed differently in our body from food sources than they are from supplement sources.
Taking B-Complex can make a big difference for your energy level – B12 in particular can be taken in the moment, when you're feeling drained, to give you an extra pick-me-up.
You can even get fast-acting sublingual tabs or lozenges to carry around with you to take when you're feeling a little bit fatigued.
Back to long-term: Eating Healthy. On its face it's straightforward, but when it comes down to it, it's easier said than done.
Eating foods rich in vitamins and minerals and low in fillers will help your body and mind to feel more energized. If you have leaky gut issues caused by poor digestion, the corresponding inflammation can cause fatigue.
Excess weight can make you feel fatigued as well; it takes more energy to carry more body weight.
Want a quick fix? Why not try some green tea? Green Tea is great for your overall health. It has antioxidants, lowers your cholesterol, and has anti-allergen properties.
Standard green tea has caffeine in it, which helps fend off the fatigue, but too much is not great for fibro folks. Fortunately, the caffeine content of green tea is a fraction of that found in coffee.
Green Tea makes you feel alert, relaxed, and energetic, so if you're looking for a quick boost, give green tea a try.
Our next long term tip: therapeutic movement, a.k.a. exercise. It may sound crazy to talk about exercise when you're already fatigued, but it really is one of the best things you can do to raise your baseline energy level.
Exercise increases your chances of more restorative sleep…as long as you don't overdo it. I'm looking at you!
Therapeutic movement also releases endorphins, which gives you a natural high.
Just thinking about exercising with fibromyalgia can be overwhelming, but some movement is better than no movement, and sometimes less is more.
My go-to for keeping myself moving is taking a walk. Just taking a stroll around the neighborhood a few times a week can make a big difference.
This quick tip is my favorite because you can do it anytime, anywhere; you don't need anything. I like to think of it as a good-fashioned old wake-up stretch. This is really great for energizing you and waking you up.
It's very simple: just take a deep breath, open up through your chest, move your shoulders back, and arch through your back. Add in the arms and you're good to go!
You can do this anytime throughout the day. I just get up and take a little break, do a little stretch, and I feel a lot better. You could even set a timer, especially if you sit and work at a desk all day, to make sure you get up at regular intervals.
Ok back to long term. Now this is the big one: getting enough sleep. When it comes to sleep, it's not just about quantity, but quality. You want deep, restorative sleep. Unfortunately, us fibro folks are prone to micro-awakenings, which interrupt the sleep cycles and keep us from getting as much deep and restorative sleep as we need.
One thing you can do is try to create an environment that is conducive to sleeping better. So for example, try to keep your room as dark as possible, block out noises, and make sure you have a comfortable bed.
There's so much to say when it comes to sleep, so we've decided to create a micro-course that'll be available for free here at fibropulse.com in the coming months.
One last quick fix: power naps. If you're having trouble with fatigue, try taking a nap…but not for too long though, or you might find yourself feeling worse than before.
You want to nap for 30 minutes tops, with 20 minutes being ideal. Just set a timer to make sure you don't go over that. Otherwise, if you sleep too long, you might not be able to fall asleep when night comes.
What is the worst part of fatigue for you? How do you balance the use of short-term stimulants and long-term strategies that take more discipline? Do you have any other life hacks for dealing with fatigue in your life?
Hi-I find that on different days, I need different fixes to help with energy. My go to fixes are: water, B-12 and 20 minute naps. Long before I had diagnosed health issues, these 3 things helped me. Anyone else have any thoughts?
Consent: I consent to storing of my message attached to the email address I have used to comment.
Yes, it is helpful to have several options up your sleeve to choose from when you are feeling fatigued so you can adjust depending on the circumstances.

Geoff Johnson Shows What It's Like For A Child To Live With A Hoarder
Omaha-based photographer Geoff Johnson created the series 'Behind The Door', showing the living conditions that he and his sister Jennifer grew up in, and what it is like to be living with a parent who is a hoarder. He shot the photos in his childhood home, it was the first time he came back to the house after he had left it in 1995. He states that he wanted to use "art to express (his) feelings and share a little bit about children living with hoarders and give a sense of what it was like 'hiding' behind the door whenever someone comes to the house".
The series was never about his parent but rather about his childhood and about healing, 'and perhaps most of all, to forgive what happened in the past.'

Home Lakers News: Mike D'Antoni Says 75% Of Practices Focus On Defense
Lakers News: Mike D'Antoni Says 75% Of Practices Focus On Defense
Shootaround Report: Gasol To Start, Bazemore and Brooks Expected To Play
Over the last two years, head coach Mike D'Antoni hasn't exactly made an impression in terms of getting the Los Angeles Lakers on track defensively. D'Antoni has always been an offensive-minded coach and it shows, but he claims that 75 percent of practices are focused on improving the defense according toBen Bolch of the L.A. Times:
Mike D'Antoni said he spends 75% of practices on defense. "That's our main focus of every practice," he said.
— Ben Bolch (@latbbolch) February 21, 2014
With the Lakers giving up 106.2 points per game (29th in the NBA) this season, they are arguably one of the worst teams in the league defensively. D'Antoni claiming that 75 percent of practices preaching defense is questionable with the team clearly not responding during games.
At this point in time, it's safe to say that the Lakers simply aren't a good basketball team and seriously lack any intensity on the defensive end of the floor. Although the Lakers may have a few promising young players with Kendall Marshall leading the way, the majority of the players on the current roster, outside of Kobe Bryant, probably won't be retained in the off-season.
It remains to be seen if D'Antoni will be with the Lakers long-term. Currently, D'Antoni is under contract for next season with a team option for a fourth year giving the Lakers flexibility heading into the 2015-16 NBA season.

Richmond Fontaine – How many syllables in Vlautin?
Archive Posted On April 1, 1996
"I didn't know there were six syllables in alcohol," jokes Richmond Fontaine bassist Dave Harding, referring to bandmate Willy Vlautin's singing style. "He's exorcising his personal demons," explains wisecracking drummer Stuart Gaston.
Alcohol seems to be one of the more predominant themes for this country-punk trio. The band came together about a year and a half ago after Vlautin relocated to Portland from the musical wasteland of Reno, Nevada. Since then they've played regularly around Oregon and Washington and will release their first full-length CD on Cravedog Records in April.
Their first 7-inch single, "Trailways"/"Whirlpool", is a good indication of what we can expect. The A-side is a metaphorical tale of a fellow splitting with his girlfriend in favor of drinking in front of a closed-down bus station. The B-side is Vlautin's semi-autobiographical account of visiting a drinking buddy in prison and the shallow relationship between the two: "But there's nothing much to say/'cause I hope that you get out/hope that you don't dry out/and I hope you still like me when you get out."
"Whirlpool" is one of the songs to be included on their first CD. An early demo shows the band capable of mixing several styles at ease: blustery punk rock, dirgelike anthems and more melodic material. The band hopes to also add piano, pedal steel and banjo to a few tracks, though not so much as a means to define themselves as an experiment.
Vlautin's lyrics tend to focus on the darker side of personal interactions. "All of my songs sound the same," admits the humble guitarist and lyricist. Once the band gets together to jam, the songs start to take on their own direction. Gaston's jazz-informed drum technique and Harding's solid bass provide the foundation for the songs that Vlautin's understated guitars and vocals build on. All of the band members agree that the music shouldn't overwhelm the lyrics. Good thing, since Vlautin's narratives are a good focal point for this young band.
If any of this reminds you of a certain country-punk trio from Belleville, Illinois, you're not alone. While the band members consider the Uncle Tupelo comparisons a compliment, they don't necessarily agree. "The [alternative-country] genre is not that common…so it's easy for people to make those kind of comparisons," notes Gaston. When pressed, band members cite a wide variety of influences but agree that the Replacements and early '80s cowpunk outfits are central. In particular, Vlautin cites the Long Ryders as a personal favorite.
While the band members are all excited about the opportunity to tour and play with other bands around the country of similar ilk, they find a lot of satisfaction with their consistent schedule of gigs in Portland, including a soon-to-be-memorable gig at the Oregon State Penitentiary. "We gotta get a girl backup singer for that show," quips Vlautin.
It's obvious the guys are enjoying themselves, and the opportunity to make friends with similar musicians who've played around town for years has been particularly rewarding. Ultimately, Vlautin is happy to continue for "as long as we get to play and hang out and drink free beer."
