Andy Argyrakis, giving the EP four stars from CCM Magazine, describes, "Despite The Unmaking EP clocking in at a mere six songs, it sure is wonderful to have her back to penning personal, pensive and sometimes challenging sentiments, accompanied by stirring contemporary pop arrangements...regardless of the lengthy absence, she sounds even more seasoned than the last time around."

Q: Looping multiple Excel sheets in read_excel into a concatenated dataframe in Pandas I have a file that will have a tab for each "fund" that is referenced on its own separate tab. I want to read all of these into a single concatenated dataframe. I used the below to do it in a very manual way, but the number of worksheets could change.
xls = pd.ExcelFile(threeDaysFile)
fund0000 = pd.read_excel(xls, 0)
fund0001 = pd.read_excel(xls, 1)
fund0002 = pd.read_excel(xls, 2)
fund0003 = pd.read_excel(xls, 3)
fund0004 = pd.read_excel(xls, 4)
all_funds = pd.concat([fund0000, fund0001,
fund0002, fund0003, fund0004])

Is there an efficient way to write this into a context sensitive loop that will just bring in all worksheets on the current file and concatenate them to a master file?

A: Try with xls.sheet_names
pd.concat([pd.read_excel(file_name, sheetname=x) for x in xls.sheet_names])

If you need which sheet the data come from
pd.concat([pd.read_excel(file_name, sheetname=x) for x in xls.sheet_names],keys=xls.sheet_names)

RANGERS HUNTING AND SHOOTING CLUB SCORE A BULLSEYE WITH GRANT
Rangers Hunting and Shooting Club President Geoff Mackay, left, Secretary Steve Constable and Secretary Warren Kennedy with Northern Tablelands MP Adam Marshall.
MEMBER for Northern Tablelands Adam Marshall has today announced $11,100 in State Government funding for the Rangers Hunting and Shooting Club to purchase two shipping containers for conversion into storage and amenity units at their Emmaville base.
Mr Marshall said the funding was part of the government's 2015/2016 Safe Shooting Program and would allow the club to purchase the containers and relocate them.
"The Rangers Hunting and Shooting Club are a group of firearm enthusiasts from across the Electorate who use the historical shooting range near Emmaville," he said.
"Their members have varied interests in all types of firearms, with some members enjoying western role play replete with six shooters and black powder long arms.
"I congratulate the club members for securing the funding and working to improve the safety and amenity of their range area."
Rangers Hunting and Shooting Club President Geoff Mackay said the funding assistance will make the Emmaville Range more user-friendly while improving the range safety.
"The funding provided will be used to purchase two large shipping containers which will be converted to store targets, seating and safety gear," Mr Mackay said.
"We also have plans to convert part of one container as an amenity area for parents with young children and babies, creating a safe and comfortable place to attend to those necessities of life.
"The Rangers is a club for all and we work hard at trying to rub our enthusiasm off onto others, it's a terrifically safe sport and one that can be mastered by all ages and ability."
The Rangers Hunting and Shooting Club meet at the Emmaville Shooting Range on the fourth Sunday of each month and information is available at Inverell Firearms.

Q: Converting an HTML table to XML based on class tag I have a problem that I'm trying to solve with XSLT as it seems like a really elegant and scalable solution. The ordering applicaiton that I'm trying to write can have any number of items in it. I'm reasonably new at PHP/HTML and trying to migrate my skills across to some raw HTML as the workplace I'm in doesn't like libraries (don't ask...)
Problem - pass the contents of an HTML table as a parameter to a PHP page for processing and lodging/paying for an order. The XML is then lodged in the database and processed server side with an insert trigger. The class tag is the field indicator as is also indicated some on screen CSS formatting.
Additional help would be to properly escape the characters so that I don't get an injection attack...
I hope this makes sense... so please be kind - it's my first question here after searching all sorts of related & similar answers that don't really seem to help...
Many ... many thanks in advance of your kind assistance.

Now that we have installed Django, let's start using it. In Django, every web app you want to create is called a project; and a project is a sum of applications. An application is a set of code files relying on the MVT pattern. As example let's say we want to build a website, the website is our project and, the forum, news, contact engine are applications. This structure makes it easier to move an application between projects since every application is independent.
__init__.py − Just for python, treat this folder as package.
settings.py − As the name indicates, your project settings.
urls.py − All links of your project and the function to call. A kind of ToC of your project.
wsgi.py − If you need to deploy your project over WSGI.
This option lets you set if your project is in debug mode or not. Debug mode lets you get more information about your project's error. Never set it to 'True' for a live project. However, this has to be set to 'True' if you want the Django light server to serve static files. Do it only in the development mode.
Before setting any new engine, make sure you have the correct db driver installed.


This dissertation focuses on contemporary literature produced by Arab American women authors. My study utilizes the works of Diana Abu-Jaber, Mohja Kahf, Suheir Hammad, Naomi Shihab Nye, and Laila Halaby, to raise questions about the processes, methods, and practices of writing, publishing, and reading Arab American women's literature. Influenced by developments in contemporary Arab American studies, postcolonial, and reception theories, this dissertation examines, from an interdisciplinary perspective, novels, poetry, prose, and online articles that these authors produced in the aftermath of the First Gulf War until today (1993-2007). A study of this literature, I argue, facilitates a more comprehensive understanding of the history of Arab American literature, its recent trends, and possible futures.
Chapter Two focuses on the work of Diana Abu-Jaber, one of the most important Arab American women authors today. Tracing literary developments, shifts, and alterations in the author's work, I argue that Abu-Jaber uses her writing to humanize Arab Americans for her predominantly western audiences. Focusing on what I see as shifts in the author's political commitments and ideals, I analyze her large body of works in order to understand how they are influenced by the western publication industry, marketing strategies, reader demand, and literary fame.
Chapter Three deals explicitly with the works of Mohja Kahf as I examine the author's attempt to reconfigure Islam's negative status in the United States by defying the politics of literary representation and challenging the restrictive cultural, racial, and religious boundaries of the Muslim ummah or community. I argue that the author's work challenges both the mythologies of representations surrounding the figure of the Muslim woman in the West and the gendered and sometimes exclusionary parameters of the Muslim ummah in the United States.
In Chapter Four, I shift my focus to the writings of Naomi Shihab Nye, Suheir Hammad, and Laila Halaby. I examine how these authors negotiate the national trauma of September 11, 2001 and state of emergency ensuing in the wake of the attacks. I assess how these authors render legible Arab American and Muslim American encounters of 9/11 and its aftermath.


This article is about the philosophical concept. For the 2014 book by Rajiv Malhotra, see Indra's Net (book). For the geometry book, see Indra's Pearls (book).
The metaphor's earliest known reference is found in the Atharva Veda. It was developed by the Mahayana school in the 3rd century Avatamsaka Sutra and later by the Huayan school between the 6th and 8th centuries.
"Indra's net" is an infinitely large net of cords owned by the Vedic deva Indra, which hangs over his palace on Mount Meru, the axis mundi of Buddhist and Hindu cosmology. In this metaphor, Indra's net has a multifaceted jewel at each vertex, and each jewel is reflected in all of the other jewels.
Far away in the heavenly abode of the great god Indra, there is a wonderful net which has been hung by some cunning artificer in such a manner that it stretches out infinitely in all directions. In accordance with the extravagant tastes of deities, the artificer has hung a single glittering jewel in each "eye" of the net, and since the net itself is infinite in dimension, the jewels are infinite in number. There hang the jewels, glittering "like" stars in the first magnitude, a wonderful sight to behold. If we now arbitrarily select one of these jewels for inspection and look closely at it, we will discover that in its polished surface there are reflected all the other jewels in the net, infinite in number. Not only that, but each of the jewels reflected in this one jewel is also reflecting all the other jewels, so that there is an infinite reflecting process occurring.
And the atoms in these lands are even harder to tell of.
They [Buddhas] know all phenomena come from interdependent origination.
different phenomena in all worlds, interrelated in Indra's net.
The manner in which all dharmas interpenetrate is like an imperial net of celestial jewels extending in all directions infinitely, without limit. … As for the imperial net of heavenly jewels, it is known as Indra's Net, a net which is made entirely of jewels. Because of the clarity of the jewels, they are all reflected in and enter into each other, ad infinitum. Within each jewel, simultaneously, is reflected the whole net. Ultimately, nothing comes or goes. If we now turn to the southwest, we can pick one particular jewel and examine it closely. This individual jewel can immediately reflect the image of every other jewel.
As is the case with this jewel, this is furthermore the case with all the rest of the jewels–each and every jewel simultaneously and immediately reflects each and every other jewel, ad infinitum. The image of each of these limitless jewels is within one jewel, appearing brilliantly. None of the other jewels interfere with this. When one sits within one jewel, one is simultaneously sitting in all the infinite jewels in all ten directions. How is this so? Because within each jewel are present all jewels. If all jewels are present within each jewel, it is also the case that if you sit in one jewel you sit in all jewels at the same time. The inverse is also understood in the same way. Just as one goes into one jewel and thus enters every other jewel while never leaving this one jewel, so too one enters any jewel while never leaving this particular jewel.
In each of the lion's eyes, in its ears, limbs, and so forth, down to each and every single hair, there is a golden lion. All the lions embraced by each and every hair simultaneously and instantaneously enter into one single hair. Thus, in each and every hair there are an infinite number of lions... The progression is infinite, like the jewels of Celestial Lord Indra's Net: a realm-embracing-realm ad infinitum is thus established, and is called the realm of Indra's Net.
Vast indeed is the tactical net of great Indra, mighty of action and tempestuous of great speed. By that net, O Indra, pounce upon all the enemies so that none of the enemies may escape the arrest and punishment.
This great world is the power net of mighty Indra, greater than the great. By that Indra-net of boundless reach, I hold all those enemies with the dark cover of vision, mind and senses.
This world was the net of the great Sakra (Indra), of mighty size; by means of this net of Indra I envelop all those people with darkness.
...was characterized there as the antariksa-, the intermediate space between heaven and earth, while the directions of the sky were the net's sticks (dandah) by means of which it was fastened to the earth. With this net Indra conquered all his enemies.
In Gödel, Escher, Bach (1979), Douglas Hofstadter uses Indra's net as a metaphor for the complex interconnected networks formed by relationships between objects in a system—including social networks, the interactions of particles, and the "symbols" that stand for ideas in a brain or intelligent computer.
Buddhism uses a similar image to describe the interconnectedness of all phenomena. It is called Indra's Net. When Indra fashioned the world, he made it as a web, and at every knot in the web is tied a pearl. Everything that exists, or has ever existed, every idea that can be thought about, every datum that is true—every dharma, in the language of Indian philosophy—is a pearl in Indra's net. Not only is every pearl tied to every other pearl by virtue of the web on which they hang, but on the surface of every pearl is reflected every other jewel on the net. Everything that exists in Indra's web implies all else that exists.
to help understand the multiplicity of causes and effects producing the way we are and the way we were [...] In the same way, the journeys through Brook's picture-portals intersect with each other, at the same time shedding light on each other.
the profound cosmology and outlook that permeates Hinduism. Indra's Net symbolizes the universe as a web of connections and interdependences [...] I seek to revive it as the foundation for Vedic cosmology and show how it went on to become the central principle of Buddhism, and from there spread into mainstream Western discourse across several disciplines.

Microsoft has released the latest Build 10041 of Windows 10 Technical Preview. Since then the new Build has been on the limelight. Windows 10 Build is a buggy version no doubt and it received three patches back to pack that somehow mend the unstable performance.
Yesterday Gabe Aul of Microsoft announced in Twitter that Windows 10 Build 10042 has been pushed to the Slow ring of its Insider program. Now the iso files for this build has been made available for download.
Microsoft has coined the term March Update for the iso files of Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 10041. This iso files will include Technical Preview in China, the UK, France, Germany, Italy and Spain, where Microsoft with the Cortana feature being updated. Yesterday we posted an article that Build 10041 was having problem with Cortana. Users were not being able to use Cortana in languages other than English (US) if they had the Build 9926 in that language.
So this March Update will potentially diminish this limitation faced by users. We hope that the iso files will solve the problem with Cortana language support and also if users are not getting to access the auto update facility. You can download the iso files and the download link is given below.

UK P2P service Paym has more than 2.6M users
HomeMoneyNews
Paym, the UK service offered by 17 leading banks and building societies that enables money transfer between users via mobile numbers, had 2.6 million registered users at end-June 2015.
And the service carried 415,000 transactions in the three months to end June, worth more than £23 million.
All the figures are climbing on a sequential basis, but that is hardly surprising since this is a relatively new service (it launched in April 2014). Since launch, a total of 1.25 million transactions worth £70 million have been sent.
Deep analysis is difficult since Paym does not break out how many of its registrations are regular, or occasional, users.
Paym has, however, conducted a survey which shows a shift in usage patterns over the last six months (from January 2015). Users are now using the service to pay back immediate family money owned for petrol (25 per cent), bills (22 per cent) and household costs (19 per cent), a change from January 2015 when the payment service was mainly being used to settle up for socialising (lunch or dinner was 20 per cent of total at start of year).
This shift is probably explained by a slightly older demographic for Paym over the past six months. The 35-64 year olds account for 39 per cent of registrations, up 35 per cent six months ago. This indicates more money flowing from the pocket of parents via Paym to their children.
Paym is run by the Mobile Payments Service Company on behalf of Payments UK (formerly the Payments Council), which represents the country's leading financial institutions.

On Being Amateur
August 3, 2019 July 27, 2017 by Falon Darville
In his book Turning Pro, Steven Pressfield determines the clear line between the amateur and the pro. The amateur is not living to his full potential, put simply. The pro makes the choice every day to work on his calling, and he's in it for the long haul. Probably the most striking feature of the book is how understanding Pressfield is of the amateur. He's been there himself before becoming a bestselling author. In his twenties and thirties, he was a tractor-trailer driver and an apple picker. Pressfield has a very clever concept that rings very true called "the shadow life". The shadow life is what we live instead of working on our calling. The shadow career is what we engage in when in denial of what we are truly capable of. My shadow career was private investigation.
I enjoyed it for a couple of years. It was a way to immerse myself in the lives of others, even to attempt to gauge my normalcy in comparison to them. I've always been hyper-aware of the ways in which I'm different from other people. I perceive the world in a tremendously different capacity, so I'm very careful when I speak with people. During my period of private investigation, I got a pleasurable, removed point of view of how other people were living. I did not personally know these people, but I knew something about them, including their medical conditions and their deposition statements. I also knew where they ate lunch on a given day, who they met with, and where they got their nails done. Predicting their moves and their modes of expression was thrilling, especially when my predictions turned out right, which was more often than not. I learned about human behavior in an absurd way.
Pressfield says "Sometimes, when we're terrified of embracing our true calling, we'll pursue a shadow calling instead. That shadow career is a metaphor for our real career." My shadow calling was something of actually creeping in the shadows. I crafted narratives about people, albeit regimented versions of their lives. Clinging to the job, I convinced myself that I was cut out for this work. Some realities shook hard but I stayed as detached as I could – deaths, drownings, and murder – were just content in a report. They had to be.
I tried to write when I got home from work, but I'd throw all of it away. It was junk. I was writing about things that didn't matter because I was doing my absolute best to avoid the only things that did matter. I focused on the exterior and I focused on moving ahead through time but not moving ahead with my potential. I sought and attained distractions, one after the other. My biggest vice was my past. As Pressfield points out, "The payoff of living in the past or the future is you never have to do your work in the present."
The past is a cloying parcel. Tug at the string, slip your finger under the wrapper, and you see the box. It's merely a representation of what's inside. Your mind teases around every corner and flat surface, but the contents remain inside. The memory cannot fathomably recall all of the innards. So resting outside and calling repeatedly on the representation – the sick feelings, repetitive phrases, faces – takes moments of the present away. Pressfield's pro lives in the present, "He loses himself in the work and in the moment." He sets the tempting box aside. He may glance over at it briefly before setting to work, but he smirks, reaching for the pen rather than the string. Tomorrow he'll do the same.
Why I Don't Watch TV
April 1, 2018 July 23, 2017 Leave a comment by Falon Darville
I don't watch the news. I don't even own a TV. I don't make it out to many movies. This offends people, so I don't usually go around saying either of those first two sentences. I see news and TV as a complete distraction from other things I am trying to accomplish, like writing and reading. I don't live in a cave, and I still know about things going on around me. But I won't subject myself to the relentless stream of bombarding screens. There are even TVs at gas stations now, an intolerable play of color and noise while I'm trying to do something otherwise routine.
Timothy Ferriss says in his The 4-Hour Workweek, "I never watch the news and have bought one single newspaper in the last five years…" Further on, he suggests "that you develop an uncanny ability to be selectively ignorant." And people will make you feel bad about this choice; I guarantee it. I've heard all about how awful and weird I am for not watching TV. Some people I've met really just did not believe me. When it's said that most American watch 4 hours of TV per day, I really don't think it's a point of pride to rank in those numbers.
And what about those all of those horrible, atrocious events I don't hear of because I don't watch the news? Guess what, I do hear about them. They come to me through verbal interactions, and sometimes through research I do online. And here's the thing, it seems a lot of people I've known pride themselves on knowing about something unpleasant happening. The precedence lies on accumulating the information merely as a social lubricant. They almost seem to enjoy that something bad happened that they can talk about. I'd rather keep myself out of it. And as for closing in on bad events, I do my part by going out and volunteering for organizations that I believe are making the world better.
I've seen news stir unnecessary, relentless, and boring conversations among groups convinced that those events have a much closer tie to them than they actually do. In the past when I've attempted to keep up with the news, being part of a discussion about it took an uncomfortable quality. Regardless of how much I knew, conversations about current events seemed to always go the way of the other person trying to prove they knew more. Seems like a strange relationship with news, doesn't it? News and other media is a never-ending stream, and frankly, it's overwhelming to keep up with.
Star Wars is boring. I really have only had the courage to say this out loud to one person. Why? An absolute storm of cutthroat words and deep-cutting criticisms would surely ensue. I used to really put myself out there as a Star Wars fan, aiming to make nice to fans. Those people are everywhere, it's like a zombie apocalypse out there of the Star Wars T-shirt-clad. All I can say is I really tried to like it for other people. With cult media, you see again this relationship of exclusionary social stigma and shaming. Think, we live in a culture where people are ridiculed for the media they do not consume, they do not like, and they do not pay attention to. Why was I so afraid to say I don't like Star Wars? Even now writing this, I feel the need to expand and craft a defense on an opinion. But the thing is, opinions as they come are alright.
TV is a normalizing sport. Yes, it's a sport. It requires stamina, and it requires an articulated social vocabulary to be involved in a conversation about TV. For me I'll stick with using my time for other things. As Ralph Waldo Emerson put it, "There are many things of which a wise man might wise to be ignorant." I reexamine what type of media I consume on a daily basis, and it's driven a more thoughtful practice of accepting the pieces of information that I want to ingest.
On Gatekeepers and Questioning Them
February 15, 2020 July 20, 2017 by Falon Darville
Gatekeepers give us advice, instruction, protocols for how things should be done and in what order. They come in many forms, from the reinforcement that you'll need years of experience to get promoted, to ideas that you need a college degree to get a meaningful job. These gatekeepers often come in absolute packaging, without wiggle room. Barriers to entry are also often arbitrary or outdated. I touch on this in On a Revised Division of Labor. Gatekeepers are those things (or people) telling you that you can't do something until you've done something else. And the thing is – they're always going to be something else. Barriers to enter don't serve you, they serve the gatekeepers.
In his A Brief Guide to World Domination, Chris Guillebeau says that gatekeepers expect "a willingness to accept the rules of the system so that it can continue enriching [them]." The rules they've established, or that they are maintaining, give gatekeepers security. In fact, if we begin to even question their points of authority or the logic behind some rules, we are understood to be undermining the system in place. Just a gentle nudge in the direction of questioning, and we see them clasp even tighter to the regimentations that give them security.
"If you don't follow the rules they set, gatekeepers get worried because they are threatened by change or any challenge to their authority." – Chris Guillebeau
Our culture is saturated with rules that serve to limit our growth and our view of the world. The thing is, we don't have to align our beliefs and goals with them. We are free to question the apparent barriers that have been so adamantly pushed onto us. We are free to question the rules, and the rewards we are told that we will gain from following them. If we get push back, it may well be because we've neglected to follow an outdated rule that serves to keep us where we are and keep gatekeepers where they are.
Even if we follow all of the rules of the gatekeepers, we are not guaranteed a spot in their ranks. It's not an absolute path of least resistance, even if it's made out to be that way. There are continuously new impositions that seek to shift people into convenient slots, propping up gatekeepers and diminishing the innovative ideas that could render them obsolete. But if we question their rules, we stand to gain a life that is far more flexible and far more inclined to growth.
Substantiation of Selfhood
July 16, 2017 July 19, 2017 by Falon Darville
Western selfhood thrives in normative extremes. We award it to celebrities, entrepreneurs, geniuses, moguls, and the other recognized outliers in our society. Selfhood flourishes under circumstantial and often external conditions; and it's reigned in socially for non-outliers. It thrives in normative extremes because it demands some substantiation. One who possesses the ultimate prize of selfhood traditionally overcomes an obstacle – namely not being himself because of the pressures to conform, and further, being ridiculed for being himself. This may explain why many are so keen on identifying themselves as recipients of targeted personal attacks. Beyond seeking to receive some acknowledgement for a particular period of suffering, this person also positions himself as an outlier. There, he can reap the rewards of substantiation, or fail to meet the standards which would grant him a socially actualized role.
The outlier is in a peculiar social space; he positions himself closer to externally-actualized selfhood.
If he becomes substantiated by qualities such as wide audience-ship and quantitative success, he reaches the award of selfhood. He will gain definitions – genius, tour de force, revolutionary. If the outlier fails (or has yet) to be substantiated, he is assigned alternative, less sophisticated-sounding names for his individuality – nutcase, loser, weirdo. In a third scenario, the outlier gains substantiation, and hence normative selfhood, after his death. Take the clear example of Vincent Van Gogh, the man ridiculed during his life and idolized after his death. He gains selfhood, one assigned to him, and one which becomes normative by virtue of general acceptance.
The super-ego assigns normative selfhood, where the super-ego is social construct. Beyond it's understood conceptualization as a system of internalized ideals, we recognize too that these ideals are unconsciously or consciously stamped onto our worldly perceptions. The super-ego reflected onto perception could take form of broad statements in which the sayer will assign his own purpose as the same purpose he see others wanting him to possess. Acknowledgment of this occurs widely once selfhood has been assigned. Examples exist from a large scope of individuals, from rappers, to artists, to actors, to investment bankers, to business owners. These statements sound like: "I told them I was going to make it big" and "I knew I was going to be someone".
There are those driven to substantiate, "to be someone." Someone is not a default; it's something awarded.
Even take into consideration the following phrase: to be discovered. Some go to places to be discovered, like Los Angeles and New York. Though this the action of the individual serves in a limited capacity by the implications of the phrase. The individual seeking substantiation makes a physical move, and then poses, perhaps in all the capacity that he can muster, as a figure waiting for discovery. "To be discovered", he supposes that the power of his selfhood, as representable to the public, rests in the hands of another individual that does the discovering.
We work on the same principles of substantiation, though with widely different examples. Socialized extremes become normative not because they allow public usage of the properties of selfhood that an awarded member of society possesses. That is to say, the actions, mannerisms, and other definers of the person assigned selfhood are culturally okay for him to have. But the unsubstantiated outlier, or the common public, may not have the luxury of holding the same definers of that person. In a covertly regimented manner, the behaviors of the person with selfhood has been normalized. Why? The behaviors are segmented from the general population. It's normalization through clear differentiation, through assignment, through allowed, normative extreme.
Selfhood works in extremes because the common assumption rests that the majority will not be substantiated outliers.
Outliers are the extreme examples of a culture's population members. We know our outliers by name, sometimes by face, and many times, by their notable substantiations. Namely, their substantiations comprise their actions towards the population, and the culture's reciprocal recognition of the outlier's impact. Note that the award of selfhood is not used exclusively with positive rights of recognition, and often those with the most poignant characterizing attributes rest in infamy.
Normalizing selfhood through the process of substantiation culturally assigns defined behavior.
It simultaneously reserves the defined behaviors to the outlier. The general population is left to survey the outlier, through lenses of adoration, resentment, etc. Each outlier has his own brand of selfhood, but his substantiations come through largely similar means as the other outliers. He tells us, lest we overcome the pressures to confirm, lest we be ridiculed, we may not be in the ranks of outlier. For that is the most promising position – wedged in the general population, unsubstantiated – that we may fight for claim to selfhood. And should we win it, that we may encourage more of the masses to become outliers, and out of right and morally-justified action, live out our behaviors as we would have living among those who only loved us.
The Glamour of Being Busy
September 8, 2017 July 12, 2017 by Falon Darville
"I'm too busy." It's often heard with a tone of conflicted catharsis, even if it's the umpteenth time the same person's said it that day. The statement seems no longer used just as a way to excuse oneself, but simultaneously to induce guilt in the party it's proclaimed to. It nearly says, "I'm so busy…busier than you." And could even go as far as to suggest that one's time is more valuable than another's, by sheer virtue of declaration. Overused and often unsubstantiated, proclamations of busyness have come to impose themselves as a badge of social glory. Put simply, it's glamorous to be busy – or at least to think oneself busy.
Where once we would have rivaled a claim at busyness with a suggestion of mismanagement of time, it's now heralded as a trait of the truly dedicated.
It's a blanket statement – in regards that it is very general, requiring no proof to be substantiated. And it oftentimes puts the recipient of such statement in a position not to question it's validity. In a typical and contemporary business setting, and especially heard from a manager, we can do nothing more than proclaim sympathy, even if the sympathy is not genuine. The structure of our culture allows for these sort of communication loopholes. But where's the glamour in being busy? The phrase is already somewhat compelling, easy to declare, and usable under a wide variety of situations.
Part of the glamour of busyness lies in its duality: at once the sayer is claiming an importance of his time by virtue of it being limited, and he is also moving blame off of himself for his limitations.
Scarcity or limited supply is often equated with the value of an object or concept. For example, physical items in limited supply tend to be more expensive. In this discourse, time has a definitive limitation, though the parameters of its limitations are unclear within yield of the maximum approximation. That is to say, we know the general lifespan of a human being, but cannot account for "premature" death and other events that would terminate a lifespan before, or even after, the estimated lifespan. So within the parameters of limitation, to have one's time mostly filled may be equitable with free time being more precious.
However, we often see outliers to this logical sequence. Either the time spent is not properly used during the available time for such activity (for example eight hours per work day), the time is mismanaged overall (when scheduling traverses multiple facets of an individual's life, such as work and non-work times), or the individual is not being truthful about his level of busyness. Taking the three outliers, and noting that there could be more unaccounted for here, we see that in sequence, claiming a lack of time may offer the opportunity to offload or outright shirk responsibility.
Especially in workplaces, shrugging off the dusty layer of convoluted linguistic loopholes leaves room for clearer delineation of tasks and for understood lines of responsibility.
If we seek to continuously claim busyness, we do no better than closing our doors to fertile lines of communication. And if the busyness is valid, and we continue to claim it, we must acknowledge the conscious choice we are making in the usage of our time. Consequently, we should be compelled to realign those dependent on our help and results, so that they may fulfill their requests elsewhere or in a self-sufficient manner.
Claiming busyness must be understood as connected to the external. Conceptual and actual busyness, especially in a professional setting, is interwoven with too many other factors to be taken lightly. In some particularly unsettling effect, busyness is a falsehood fabricated for the sake of distracting oneself from guilt resulting from under-accomplishment. The glamour of busyness comes in part with the enticing coverall loophole effect it has. In many cases, it's easier to claim busyness rather than truly access one's usage of his limited time, or even more daunting to the unrealized individual, to truly access his self-excusing.
If we call ourselves too busy, we are charged with a potent confrontation. Are we really too busy? Are we allocating our time well or poorly? And what exactly do we gain in calling ourselves busy? Busyness is a construct of our times. It's a cry of the high ranks, but the reality of it stands that busyness is a false glamour. This meaning, busyness appears glamorous but it comes with a load of implications and doesn't serve to get to honest communication.
On the Cultural Fit
July 13, 2017 July 7, 2017 by Falon Darville
Hiring based on "cultural fit" can breed hostile, toxic environments that seek to either homogenize or alienate any employees who have difficulty conforming, or simply choose not to conform. Surely, the cultural fit method is meant to craft an environment of creative freedom and positive teamwork. This works on the basis that the cultural members are ethical and agree on a common work goal. Though in some cases, it has turned into clear violations of ethicality in the workplace. You may recognize the cultural fit method during interviewing processes such as through the following statements: "he's not a cultural fit", "he's too old", and "I don't think she would be okay with the dirty humor."
The method of cultural fit hiring may skew the process towards preference for those individuals who are perceived as either more similar or more malleable.
Similarity in moral codes of the workers means that toxicity may not be regarded as unhealthy, and malleability ensures that the individual hired can be manipulated into thinking that because the majority regards some behaviors as healthy, they are healthy. In the poor model of cultural fit hiring, good workers can easily be written off for reasons that may or may not be explicitly addressed. For example, rather than saying "I don't like that her opinion about sports is different than mine, " you could say "she's not a cultural fit." No further explanation is needed from an already complacent group.
"Instead of being a strategy for hiring and keeping talented people, culture fit is often seen as a convenient way of discriminating against otherwise qualified people." – Christine del Castillo
Beyond sometimes being used as a mode of discrimination, the cultural fit model clearly segments those who belong and those who do not. Separation the workplace in this way can lead to destructive behaviors as the core group of individuals who belong, and the outliers, hash out their purpose and place in the work environment. What more, those who belong are not necessarily better workers, but are able to play to the advantage of the majority by replacing hard work with other forms of byproduct of work. These byproducts could be social connections, favors, and other beneficial acquirements.
Some become so inculcated and pacified by their status within a workplace culture group that they completely forgo moral action.
Equally disheartening is coming into a new workplace, being shadowed by the sense of belongingness, and even participating in the immoral actions before recognizing outsider status. Not only is there personal implication in the issue, but there is also a sense of deep regret for not understanding sooner that "belonging" does not mean one is acting in ethical behaviors. These are some of the issues that we often deal with in high school, but they inevitably leak into our professional lives long after we exit school. Unlike high school, which often offers no real threat for non-conformity and sometimes even glamorizes it, professional non-conformity faces higher stakes. Those outliers may confront or be in contact with intimidation, rumors, and even a loss of job. Some of these may be indirect. For example, consistent intimidation and uncomfortable behavior can lead employees to believe that their only option is seeking alternative employment.
In some cases, we do not even recognize membership in a cultural group unless it has been specifically pointed out, or we have been clearly designated as an Other.
In sociology, the Other is the group which the power-seeker puts himself in relationship with, that he may claim his power over the Other. It works in this manner because social relations are all relative. In this, a very efficient way of creating a "culture" is by separating an "us" and a "them". The "us" is constructed as the normal and normative entity. In historical examples, we see that the power-seeking "us" uses propaganda, common paradigmatic thinking, and even force, to demonstrate their place. As Sociologist Philomena Essed puts it, "Group power exists as long as the group stays together against the 'others'." Note that we oftentimes see the defining of the Other in larger-scale attempts of power, such as racism, but the term can also apply to smaller models.
Cultural fit does more than create a group, it fosters an opportunistic environment in which bad behavior is reinforced and even encouraged.
The outliers may go to work simply seeking not to be noticed so that they do not become subject to reminders of their differences from a core cultural group. Does consuming the same media as your coworker mean you will work well together? Or do we use this form of designation to assign arbitrary meaning to relationships in the workplace? Certainly, homogeny has a lesser chance of forming high-quality forward-thinking work than does diversity. And if cultural fit means acceptance of any and all behaviors in the workplace performed by some select individuals, the best "cultural fit" is the one most willing to swallow his pride, or the one without regard for morality in the business setting at all. As the workplace progresses and as workers increasingly spend more energy at work, it may serve us well to question the linguistic and power functions that we adopt, which serve to bolster regressive work models.

Q: How secure are XPS documents? How secure are XPS documents? After looking from the inside of an XPS document, found the Unicode-string property. Could someone inject e.x. a script into the Unicode string property?
How does the XPS viewer treat the Unicode string property? As a collection of glyphs or what?
UPDATE: I added the following string as UnicodeText
!@#$%^&*()_+

and the XPS viewer refused to open the file. This is how this question came into my mind

A: XPS documents, as opposed to (coughs) some other format cannot contain scripts or active content. They are only used as a high-fidelity pre-print format. That being said, it's not entirely impossible for XPS parsers to contain security vulnerabilities. And they can be exploited. So far I haven't heard of any such exploits, though.
But back to your point. If someone wants to put a script into a string in an XPS document he can surely do so. He just shouldn't expect it to be executed. If some software actually does that, then it's probably a security problem with the software and not with the file format.
Just because you can put malware into a text file (remember iloveyou.vbs?) that doesn't mean that text files themselves have a security vulnerability :-)
ETA: The UnicodeString attribute in question aids searching inside the XPS file:

The UnicodeString attribute holds the array of Unicode scalar values that are represented by the current  element. Specifying a Unicode string is RECOMMENDED, as it supports searching, selection, and accessibility.

And while the string itself is expected to be in a certain format (also detailed in the standard on page 115), the reason why the viewer didn't want to accept your input is that it's not even well-formed XML since the ampersand (&) appears unescaped. I assume that it would work if you encode the ampersand as & as required by XML. The spec also states that

The standard XML escaping mechanisms are used to specify XML-reserved characters.

But even with that in place, the relationship between the UnicodeString attribute and other parts of the document are quite intricate. They wrote over half a page on that and which combinations are valid and which are not. So I'd suggest you read up on that first, before trying to play around further :-)

A: p.95 of the XPS 1.0 spec: "The standard XML escaping mechanisms are used to specify XML-reserved characters."
The '&' might be causing troubles.

New documents reveal 43 more deaths at former Mohawk Institute, survivor-led group says
New documents related to the former Mohawk Institute Residential School in Brantford, Ont., have revealed 43 more deaths, according to the survivor-led group overseeing the search for potential unmarked graves at the site.
WARNING: This story contains distressing details

The total number of student deaths, according to documents obtained so far, is 97. The National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation only lists 48 deaths, while previous updates from the secretariat have said there were 54 deaths.
"The impact and the legacy [of residential schools] is felt far beyond the boundaries of communities," Laura Arndt, the new executive lead for the Survivors' Secretariat, told community members at an invite-only event Wednesday.
Sherlene Bomberry, a residential school survivor and member of the secretariat, said the new documents came through a collaboration with Know History, a professional historical research firm.
The 97 students include people who died from illness or injury and those who ran away and died elsewhere according to Beth Sollis, a researcher with Know History.
The Mohawk Institute, one of the oldest and longest-running residential schools in Canada, opened in 1828 and closed in 1970. Some 15,000 students from 20 First Nation communities were at the school, many of whom were abused.
Sollis did not indicate when the deaths may have occurred.
"We've also identified 16 children [who died and] whose names are not known that we're working on hoping to identify and others where the location of their grave is not known," she said.
Over 12,000 records found
Bomberry said the secretariat is cross-referencing names to ensure there aren't duplicates.
She also said the group is working on a protocol to tell families and communities about the newly uncovered deaths before publishing them online.
Know History and the secretariat have worked together for nine months, which Sollis said has resulted in identifying 4,581 names of children who attended the institute and 725 names of people who worked at the Institute in some capacity.
Sollis said the team has found over 12,000 records relevant to the institute across 23 institutions. Over 6,700 of those have been reviewed and logged.
Laura Arndt is the executive lead of the Survivors' Secretariat. (Survivors' Secretariat/Facebook)
The search on the grounds where the Woodland Cultural Centre now stands began in November after Tk'emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation's preliminary search in Kamloops, B.C., last May detected around 200 potential graves.

Missing Names
A cruel nickname is all that was recorded of this boy's life at residential school. CBC set out to learn more
The secretariat has secured $10.2 million from the federal government over three years and $1.3 million from the provincial government — both amounts are far below what the secretariat asked for and only represents about a third of the money the group says it needs to do the search.
The ground search will take years to complete.
To date about 1.5 per cent of the roughly 243 hectares has been searched.
Bomberry said the City of Brantford provided lidar scans of the grounds to help, which has allowed the secretariat to work with geophysicists who can help interpret the data.
Support is available for anyone affected by their experience at residential schools and those who are triggered by these reports.
A national Indian Residential School Crisis Line has been set up to provide support for residential school survivors and others affected. People can access emotional and crisis referral services by calling the 24-hour national crisis line: 1-866-925-4419.

Rural Countryside: The Art Portfolio of Gary Nowlin
Back Road to Lake Sam, Sam Rayburn Lake, Texas
Growing up in Texas, Gary Nowlin was often inspired by the rural landscapes he encountered on long drives. This sense of affinity for the rural countryside is clear in the artist's current portfolio, where expansive landscape paintings abound.
Reflections on the San Gabriel, San Gabriel Trail, Georgetown, Texas
The texture of Gary's paintings is oddly satisfying. The works are incredibly detailed and realistic, yet retain a slightly soft, painterly texture that gives the impression of old, faded photographs. There's a definite sense of nostalgia in Gary's works, that makes it seem as though the artist is painting scenes through a particular lens of experience.
Gary's portfolio website, www.gnowlin.com
I find this soft texture evokes paintings by Claudette Webb. Gary's paintings are also very atmospheric -- the way that the artist utilizes lighting feels deliberate, and thought out in every instance. Darkened skies over red and orange-hued fields build up a sense of foreboding; of a coming storm, while painted reflections on still water hint at unknown depths, both physical and conceptual.
