Is Grand Bahama Island the same as Nassau?
Grand Bahamas Island contains the city of Freeport which is a modern resort-residential complex. It is more cosmopolitan and sports oriented than Nassau. Grand Bahama was developed more recently than Nassau and has become a favored resort, due in part to its nearness to Florida.
Is Nassau Bahamas part of the US?
No, the Bahamas is not a U.S. territory. It became a British Crown Colony in 1718, and gained independence in 1973. A U.S. citizen can acquire an Enhanced Drivers License (EDL) in some states, or a U.S. Passport Card anywhere. These are valid for re-entry to the U.S. at a land or sea border crossings only.
What country owns Nassau?
Only about 30 islands are inhabited. The Bahamas has become one of the world's foremost vacation resorts. Nassau, on the island of New Providence is the political capital and the commercial hub of the archipelago.

Is Nassau Bahamas safe?
Country Summary: The vast majority of crime occurs on New Providence ( Nassau ) and Grand Bahama (Freeport) islands. In Nassau, exercise caution in the "Over the Hill" area (south of Shirley Street). Violent crime, such as burglaries, armed robberies, and sexual assault occur, but generally not in tourist areas.
What is the most beautiful island in the Bahamas?
Cat Island is one of the least frequented and the most beautiful of all the Bahamas out-islands. While it offers outstanding diving off its south shore, this remote island has hardly been touched by tourism, making it ideal for those seeking the ultimate in peace, and unchartered territory.
Where do celebrities stay in Bahamas?
The Cove Resort at Atlantis, Paradise Island, Bahamas.
Do I need a passport to go to Bahamas?
U.S. citizens are generally required to present a valid U.S. passport when traveling to The Bahamas, as well as proof of anticipated departure from The Bahamas. U.S. travelers coming for tourism will not need a visa for travel up to 90 days. All other travelers will need a visa and/or work permit.

College Baseball Central Podcast: Talking Texas Tech Baseball with Carlos Silva, Jr.
On this edition of the College Baseball Central Podcast, Joe Healy is joined by Carlos Silva, Jr. of the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal to talk Texas Tech Red Raiders baseball.
Texas Tech baseball has had their moments as a program. Under longtime head coach Larry Hays, for example, they had an outstanding stretch between 1995 and 2002 where they got into a regional each year, won 40 or more games in all but one season, and finished first or second in their league four times. And even beyond that, they've always been a solid program in the modern era of college baseball.
But over the last six years, under head coach Tim Tadlock, the results and expectations around Lubbock have changed. They've been to the College World Series three times in the last five years, including a trip this past season, which might have seemed entirely unlikely early in the year, when they lost ace pitcher Steven Gingery for the season. That success has led to them becoming one of those programs that has earned the benefit of the doubt. Even in years after they suffer heavy roster attrition, as they did thanks to the draft and graduation after last season, you expect them to be right back in the thick of things the very next season, and that will be the expectation for 2019.


Over the coming months I intend to post a few thoughts that I am developing for a new paper on the duty to extend the human "biological warranty period" (via retarding the rate of molecular and cellular decline).
The impetus for writing this paper came from a conference invitation to write a paper in the general area of moral philosophy. I thought long and hard about what to offer, as I have a few ideas and papers I am developing in that general area.
At first I suspected I wouldn't want (or need to) write another paper on tackling aging, given that I have recently written a number of such articles on that topic.
But then I asked myself if there was more I wanted to say about this topic, something that might appeal, specifically, to moral philosophers. I quickly realized that there is. I still yearn to write something substantial which could, hopefully, help spur more debate and reflection on these topics. So I began to reflect on what the nature of such a paper would be.
I turned to the field of applied ethics and asked myself the following question-- which philosophy paper in ethics has had the greatest impact in terms of bringing greater awareness to, and rationale reflection of, a pressing societal concern that was largely ignored (by philosophers and the general public)?. My immediate answer was this paper by Singer on global poverty.
Writing in 1971, Singer wanted to bring attention to the neglected issue of global poverty, and the duties the affluent have to mitigate the disadvantage of those in distant lands. The fact that the vulnerable live very far away does not erode the strength of the moral duty to aid them.
Many aspects of Singer's argument are important for my project, though my specific topic is different from his (i.e. tackling aging rather than poverty).
Firstly, Singer's moral analysis (even if one is not completely persuaded by it) takes seriously the empirical realities of the world. So it is a contextual ethical analysis. When thinking about "what we owe to others" we must take seriously the fortunate position of some, and the unfortunate position of others. This is one of the great appeals of Singer's contribution. It is a moral argument embedded in the challenges of its time. Its primary objective is to enhance our practical reason.
This methodological approach is one I myself am sympathetic with. For the 21st century, I think the aging of the human species is *THE* challenge of our times. Unlike poverty, which is a problem it is easy for most people to perceive as a problem (even if they do not do enough to tackle it), one has to do a great deal of work to make vivid the magnitude of the challenges of global aging. My strategy for doing this is to develop my argument through the lens of life history theory, so that we have a better understanding of the biological trade-offs involved in the pre-reproductive (childhood), the reproductive (adulthood) and post-reproductive (late life) stages of the human lifespan.
Natural selection prioritizes reproduction over longevity, which means we have greater opportunities for health in the pre-reproductive and reproductive periods of life, *provided we live in environments conducive to health*. Civilization has created such environments (though they are far from perfect). This has lead to a rise in life expectancy, from below 30 years (the historical norm for 99% of our species' history) to a life expectancy of around 67 in the world today. This means a child born in the world today can expect to live long enough to become a senior. This is great news, but it also brings formidable challenges (one which requires us to change the moral landscape in significant ways).
Sanitation, material prosperity, antibiotics, and changes in behaviour (e.g. birth control) have dramatically increased life expectancy but this has not altered our biological warranty period (which limits life expectancy to around 85 years).
Improvements to our environment, like access to clean drinking water and safe and affordable food, greatly reduces early and mid-life mortality. The same for immunizations against infectious diseases, small pox being the most obvious example. But promoting health in late life is a completely different challenge. As we age we are susceptible to multiple diseases and disorders- cancer, stroke, heart disease, arthritis, declining vision, bone fracture, muscle loss, cognitive decline, hearing loss, etc. Chronic disease is set to be the scourge of the 21st century, as we expect to have 2 billion people worldwide over the age of 60 by the middle of this century. The World Health Organization estimates that 220 million people worldwide will die from chronic disease in the decade from 2005-2015 (and 75% of these deaths will be among people over the age of 60). This figure is truly staggering, and the human and economic toll of chronic disease on such a large scale is difficult for us to even grasp (for nothing even comes close to it, not even all the wars of the 20th century).
Because it is difficult to grasp the magnitude of the harms of senescence most people simply take the current rate of aging, and the diseases and disability that result from it, as "a given". As if aging is natural, and death from aging something that has always happened to our species. But both of these assumptions are wrong. The aging of a species is not in fact natural, it is an artifact- a product of human intervention. The only species that age on this planet are those that humans protect from predation and starvation so that they live longer lives, and eventually expire the biological warranty period imposed by evolution through natural selection. Once a population begins to outlive the biological warranty period, there is an explosion in the prevalence of chronic disease, pain and disability. And this is the scenario of humanity today.
This principle, I argue, can also be applied to the duty to extend the biological warranty period of humans. Suffering disease and disability during the post-reproductive period of life is bad (just as it is bad to suffer these same afflictions in the pre-reproductive and reproductive periods of life).
To illustrate this point, we could modify Singer's famous example of a child drowning in a shallow pond. But imagine the person in need of help was not a child, but was instead the grandparent of the child. The grandparent slipped on a rock in the shallow pond while playing with her grandson and hit her head on a rock. Now, unconscious on the ground of the shallow pond, she will drown unless someone lifts her up and out of the pond (her grandson is too weak to do this).
Singer invokes the story of the drowning child to show that distance has no moral relevance to our duty to help. If the drowning child was your neighbour's child, or the child of someone living in a poor country on the other side of the planet, you still have a pressing moral imperative to help.
The same logic ought to apply to the duty to help people at ALL stages of the human lifespan (not just when they are children). And the form of assistance ought not to be limited to just the provision of food.
(1) There is a solution to eliminating poverty, but no intervention exists which can extend our biological warranty period.
(2) Singer's principle only requires us to prevent something bad (like starvation), but not to promoting good (like life extension).
(3) Singer's principle has the proviso that we are only obligated to prevent harm when doing so would not result in imposing burdens or harms that are of comparable importance. But extending the human lifespan could bring about consequences that are even more dire.
1. Eliminating poverty, like retarding aging, is still in the experimental stage. So the objection (a) underestimates the complexity of tackling poverty and (b) underestimates the advances that have been made in the field of biogerontology over the past decade.
2. Extending the biological warranty period, just like the provision of food, can be described as either "conferring a benefit" or "preventing harm". In the case of food, providing basic aid could be described as "providing people with food (a benefit)" or "preventing starvation" (preventing a harm). The same can be said about the provision of an intervention that retards aging. Stated positively it is "expanding the opportunities for health in late life (a benefit)", but the same thing can be described as "preventing harm by delaying (and possibly compressing) morbidity and mortality".
3. Concerns that extending the biological warranty period of humans will cause overpopulation, exacerbate global inequalities, etc. must be premised upon sound empirical insights (rather than knee-jerk reactions) and we must have a sense of proportionality. Critics of aging interventions often underestimate the magnitude of the harms of the current rate of aging and overestimate the potential harms of slowing aging. So while there are legitimate concerns at play here, these are not likely to be weighty enough to constitute an objection to retarding the current rate of biological aging.

Can "slow earthquakes" help predict large earthquakes?
Being able to predict when a major earthquake will occur is a yearning that seismologists share.
It is impossible with current knowledge and technology, but research in recent years has led to expertsto be One step To determine When the conditions are met On the ground for a great earthquake.
Geophysicists have focused, among other fields, on the so-called 'Slow earthquakes'.
It is about "landslides that happen." In a geological errorIn general and in particular In theSubduction zones Between two connected plates, "seismologist Victor Cruz-Atienza, a researcher at the Institute of Geophysics of the National Autonomous University of Mexico, explains to BBC Mundo.
The expert and his colleagues recently published a study of these types of earthquakes that develop in certain seismic zones, such as those in southeastern Mexico, where there are two interacting plates.
His research determined that There were slow earthquakes, Also called silent, At the back of the last four Earthquakes Larger size In that country.
About 300 people were killed in the September 19, 2017 earthquake in Mexico City. Photo: Environmental Protection Agency
Unlike surface tremors, Slow earthquakes release energy bit by bitOver the course of weeks or monthsMaking it imperceptible and not destructive at all.
But experts say Study it It is very important To better understand how earthquakes are created, since then Not always slow someone expects a "normal"But it is a factor to take into consideration.

Professor Sergio Ruiz, of the Department of Geophysics at the University of Chile, told BBC Mondo: "Observing slow earthquakes in the past 20 years opens a window for us to understand the physics that govern earthquakes."
It will also open Earthquake Prediction Window. But at the present time it is necessary to enter and build the model, so why does this happen sometimes and not in all cases. "
What happens in the rear
Earthquakes generally occur When plate tectonics, surface energy is released, Causing the ground to vibrate sharply.
In this video you can see it graphically.
However, there are other types of interactions in lower or higher layers of earthquakes that are felt at Earth's surface.
One such event is slow earthquakes that cannot be observed because they do not release energy suddenly.
Ruiz points outSome It reached size 7 On the Richter scale, Which would be a great risk if earthquakes with consequences on the surface, but the fact that they occur over a period of weeks or months eliminates the danger.
It's as if there were plates, cups and cutlery on a table, the Chilean geophysicist explains. If that table was moved quickly, what was on top would vibrate. But if the government moves too slowly, things will practically remain the same.
"A slow earthquake can be about the same magnitude as a large earthquake, like a" normal "earthquake," says Ruiz, "but because it is moving very slowly, it is not perceptible."
Slow earthquakes are observed in subduction zones where tectonic plates interact.
Cruz Atienza explains that it can be measured With tools from Differential GPS, "very high accuracy", Which measures the deformation of the continents with an accuracy of nearly 2 millimeters.
The expert says: "Through this, we can measure the extent of the deformation of the continent and how there is an elastic recovery, and the return of the slow slide or slow earthquake, with contact with the plates under the continent."
Behind the great earthquakes
By studying slow earthquakes, scientists determined that many of the large earthquakes that rocked different regions of the world were as well Directed by These "silent" events.
Among them was the earthquake with a magnitude of 9.1 in 2011 in JapanCausing a tsunami and the failure of the nuclear power plant Fukushima. Also 7.8 degrees in New Zealand in 2016 Or the from Chile from 2014 8 degrees2.
In the case of Mexico, Cruz Atienza determined that slow earthquakes preceded four major earthquakes in the country, including those in September 2017 that caused buildings to collapse in Mexico City, as well as the earthquake that occurred in February 2018 near Pinotiba. Nacional.
"We have shown the stresses or distortions that this slow and deep earthquake created in the most shallow area of plate contact, and that it caused the rupture of this 7.2-magnitude earthquake that caused severe damage in Pinotiba," the expert explains. .
His research in southern Mexico found slow earthquakes Every 3.5 years in Guerrero's state All 1,5 Years In Oaxaca, A product of the slipping of the Cocos Plate (oceanic) and North America (continental).
Every region of the world has its own frequency.
However, both Cruz Atienza and Royce caution that with current evidence, It cannot be said that slow earthquakes are a permanent phenomenonN a Produce Earthquakes on the surface.

"There are many slow earthquakes that did not produce earthquakes. Slow earthquakes, at least with the monitoring capacity we have today, appear to be a necessary but not sufficient condition to induce an earthquake. There must be other conditions to produce them," he explains. Cruz Atienza.
What do scientists know then?
The study of slow earthquakes is an important advance for researchers to obtain evidence that activity in the Earth's crust is advancing toward an event with devastating potential.
"They have allowed the scientific community Much better understanding of the behavior of geological faults Where dangerous earthquakes occur. The Mexican researcher says that these slow earthquakes, which we do not realize, modify the state of pressures, tensions and distortions in the continental crust that could ultimately cause large earthquakes.
Seismic alerts are the product of advances in the understanding of earthquakes. But scientists are looking to generate more prediction tools. Photo: AFP
Observing slow earthquakes has only occurred in the past 20 years, but for Ruiz "opens a window to understanding the physics that govern earthquakes."
"It remains very difficult to conclude whether slow earthquakes are a general observation. Since there are not many recorded slow earthquakes, the question remains. These observations must be tried in order to Continuing to maintain it over time to be able to make more accurate conclusionsRuiz says.

What does science need to predict the possibility of a dangerous earthquake?
The researchers agree that it requires More monitoring and research On how to create these events.
Experts say installing more measuring instruments is necessary in Latin America to advance research. Photo: Getty Images via BBC
In addition, it is necessary The Installation More Measurement tools Along seismic zones, such as those over the entire Pacific coast of Latin America.
"Right now, what we lack most is augmentation of devices to be able to measure earthquakes in a ground-based way. To get a lot of data and if everything corresponds to being preceded by a slow earthquake," Ruiz explains.
And although there are many geophysical investigations in Latin America, the region still lags behind in the field of instrumentation compared to other parts of the world.

While Waving the Flag of Academic Freedom, Israel-Boycotters Favor One of That Flag's Champion Besmirchers
5 0 Comments Print Email Kindle
Advocates of academic boycotts of the Jewish state are fond of claiming that they are motivated by a desire to punish Israel for its restrictions on Palestinian universities—in part, writes Jonathan Marks, as a counterargument to those who would point out that their movement seeks specifically to restrict the free exchange of ideas. But the boycotters have nothing to say about Turkey, where the government has severely restrained the ability of professors to write or teach on sensitive topics:
Another thing about Turkey, though: it's a great place to hold an International Conference on Palestine. Unfortunately, I was unable to attend this April's conference, but the speakers listed on the roster included well-known boycott advocates like Ali Abunimah, editor of the [website] Electronic Intifada, Rabab Abdulhadi of San Francisco State University, Joseph Massad of Columbia University, and Ilan Pappé of the University of Exeter.
About the only thing the national committee of the boycott, divestment, and sanctions movement (BDS) seems to dislike in Recep Tayyip Erdogan's repressive government is its incomplete rejection of Israel. But BDS advocates don't mind taking advantage of his hospitality, perhaps because he whispers sweet nothings like, "whoever is on the side of Israel, let everyone know that we are against them."
The indifference of BDS advocates to the academic freedom they pretend to cherish when it suits them is nothing new. But their championship-level hypocrisy continues to impress.

Europe Dithers While Iran Enriches
In May, when Tehran announced that it would no longer abide by the limits set by the 2015 nuclear agreement on its enrichment of uranium, Europe found legal excuses not to react. When, earlier this month, the Islamic Republic went a step further, renouncing any limits on enrichment, the EU—led by France and Germany, both parties to the deal—at last initiated a formal process that might lead to the re-imposition of sanctions.

Egypt Celebrates Press Freedom Day With Hundreds Of Blocked Websites
Previous protest in front of the press syndicate, on April 28, 2016. Photo: Asmaa Gamal, Aswat Masriya
On May 3, the world celebrates the Press Freedom Day. This year, nonetheless, Egypt celebrates it with dozens of journalists behind bars and a plethora of blocked websites. On 24 May 2017, tens of online websites and newspapers became inaccessible. It didn't take long until users grasped that Egypt's authorities had blocked the access to these websites, particularly because they were accessible by people outside Egypt. It wasn't disclosed which authority is responsible for the blocking measure and it remains unknown until today.
Gradually, the number of blocked websites started to increase, and the blockade was monitored by the Association of Freedom of Thought and Expression (AFTE) that announced in a report in February of this year that the total number of blocked websites has reached 496, including 98 news websites.
Multiple news websites, including Mada Masr, have maneuvered their way around the blockade measure to enable their readers to access their websites, and their journalists have nevertheless been attempting to maintain integrity and professionalism. On the other hand, dozens of journalists were left jobless after the blockade resulted in financial struggles for news websites.
Other websites that don't pertain to Egypt's domestic affairs, or news for that matter, were blocked as well, including Medium.
Citing links to terrorist groups, news websites including Mada Masr, Daily news Egypt, and Al-Jazeera were blocked. Egypt security forces have been fighting terrorism in the country since the ouster of former president Mohamed Morsi in 2013. North Sinai was caught in a crossfire between militants and security forces which led to huge losses on both sides. Later on, terrorist attacks occured in other governorates including Cairo the capital. Egypt took multiple measures in order to fight terrorism including blockade of websites and extending the state of emergency.
The crackdown on press further exacerbated during Egypt's presidential elections when the editor-in-chief of the privately-owned newspaper Masr al-Arabiya Adel Sabry was arrested, and he is still detained pending investigations. Additionally, the former editor-in-chief of Egypt's largest privately-owned newspaper al-Masry al-Youm Mohamed Saleh was summoned for investigations and paying a fine after the main headline of the newspaper said that the state is attempting to gather voters in the elections. Saleh was sacked from his position and the newspaper now is headed by TV host Hamdy Rizk.
Egypt has long been criticized by local and international organizations for the lack of press freedom; however, president Abdel Fattah al-Sisi repeatedly attested that there is no crackdown on media and everyone is free to say whatever they want.
The number of detained journalists in Egypt reached 21, according to the latest report of AFTE. Recently, journalist Mahmoud Abou Zaid, also known as Shawkan, won the press freedom award of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO). Egypt's Foreign Ministry criticized the UNESCO over the award and warned against 'politicization' of the organization. The Press Syndicate constantly called for the release of journalists behind the bars.
Tens of articles were banned and censored over the past year, with Reporters Without Borders labeling Egypt as an unsafe place for journalists. However, auhtorities refuse these claims.
High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Federica Mogherini stated on Thursday that the freedom of press is threatened around the world, adding that independent journalism is vital for holding states accountable, according to Daily News Egypt.

Expert Q&A: What's the deal with the doughnut hole?
Question: What is the future for the doughnut hole for medication for people on Medicare?
Just last week, new and helpful health reform provisions kicked in, benefiting millions of American families across the country. Recent college graduates can now stay on their parents' plan until they're 26. Moms now have the freedom to choose their own OBGYNs without prior approval from their insurance plan. And insurance companies can no longer arbitrarily take away your coverage if you get sick.
One of the most popular arguments of opponents of the health reform law is that the law does nothing to 'fix' Medicare, which they claim is full of waste and fraud. Like most of the rhetoric coming from the opposition, this argument is just not true.

Older surveys were possibly completed by a pole and chain method, with landmarks referring to a "certain tree", which may not exist anymore. Modern day surveys use Global Positioning Systems and are accurate to as little as fraction of an acre. Even with modern survey tools, a stake or iron pin can disappear, be pressed into the ground, or moved by someone who did not want to mow around it.
A deed may not be insurable by a title company, because a new survey was not completed for you in your name. The surveyor and/or the title company can be held accountable if  survey is incorrect. Some banks make surveys a requirement of the loan if borrowing. Surveys uncover easements, flood zones, and  encroachments or if setbacks have been violated.
The cost of a survey varies according to the size of the property, whether it is in a subdivision or not, if a previous survey had been performed, and the irregularity of the property. There is not a set dollar amount for a survey, but the peace of mind a survey provides is worth the cost. For more on why obtaining a survey may be a good investment, contact us at 336-846-4900, A1 Mountain Realty be glad to refer you to professional NC Mountain Surveyors.

Q: In admin manage users page, how can I stop users with certain privileges from editing users with other privileges? I've got two custom roles in my application: super_administrator and liaison.  In the context of the manage users page, super admins can do anything, but liaisons are read only.  Super admins can see all users registered in the application, but liaisons can only see users in the same college as them (handled through a meta key).
When a liaison is logged in and goes to the users page, I want them to be able to see all users at their college (this is already working), but not edit them.
I did some trickery with the user_row_actions filter to remove the edit (and delete) button, and I removed the bulk actions container whenever they're logged in as a liaison.
However, they can still click the name of a user and go to the page there and edit.  Is there any way I can prevent this?

A: It sounds like you want to remove the following permissions from the 'liaison' role:

*

*create_users

*delete_users

*edit_users

*promote_users

*remove_users

Keep "list_users" so they can see the list, but not edit anything.
The easiest way to remove these permissions is to use a Role Editor plugin. Several are available; you'll select the 'liaison' role, and then through a series of checkboxes, you can remove the above permissions. Once you've saved, you can remove the plugin; WP will keep the permissions as you've saved them.
If you'd rather not use a third-party plugin, you can use code like this instead:
// Temporarily remove Liaison
remove_role('liaison');
// Add Liaison role back, with only the permissions you specify here
add_role('liaison', 'Liaison');
$liaison = get_role('liaison');
$liaison->add_cap('read');
$liaison->add_cap('list_users');

You may find Liaisons need a couple of other permissions, but this will give them read-only access to content as well as a list of users.

Q: Imparting expert knowledge for predicting branch statements in C# or C++ I know some CPUs attempt to predict branch statements when deciding what code to pre-fetch, I was wondering if there was a way to help or hard code those branch predictions in C# (or C++). An example would be an error checking if statement which I know will return false 99.9999999% of the time, I would like to tell the CPU to always expect that branch to never happen for pre-fetching purposes.
Thanks.

A: To the best of my knowledge there is no cross-platform solution to this problem.  I would expect that C# VM would do some sort of runtime analysis to optimize for these sorts of predictions, though I don't know this for a fact.
For C/C++, there are a few platform-specific tools to help optimize this.  You can usually find profile-guided optimizers for the code.  I know for a fact that gcc and g++ support this, and that it can make a pretty big difference in the net program performance.  gcc also supports a compiler-specific extension called __builtin_expect that lets you hardcode in your assumptions about branch prediction:
if (__builtin_expect(x == 0, 0)) { // Unlikely to occur
    /* ... */
}


Breaking up and rejection are especially hard for codependents. Breaking up triggers hidden grief and causes irrational guilt, anger, shame, and fear. Working through the following issues can help you let go and move on.
Codependents often blame themselves or their partner. They have low self-esteem, and any rejection triggers feelings of shame. Relationships are of primary importance to them. They fear this relationship may be their last. They haven't grieved their childhood. Past feelings of loss and trauma from their childhood are triggered. Working through these issues can help to let go and move on.
Poor boundaries are one of the main symptoms of codependency. Codependents have difficulty seeing others as separate individuals, with their own feelings, needs, and motivations. They feel responsible and guilty for others' feelings and actions. This accounts for high reactivity, conflict and caretaking in codependent relationships. They perceive their partner's need for space or even to break up or divorce as their fault. Even if they were blamed by their partner, it still doesn't make it so. There may be instances where a person's addiction, abuse, or infidelity precipitate a break up, but if you look more deeply, those behaviors reflect individual motivations and are part of a bigger picture of why the relationship didn't work. No one is responsible for someone else's actions. People always have a choice to do what they do.
Anger and resentment also can keep you stuck in the past. Codependents blame others because they have trouble taking responsibility for their own behavior, which might include a failure to set boundaries. They may have been blamed or criticized as a child, and blame feels natural and protects them from their overdeveloped sense of guilt.
Shame is an underlying cause of codependency and stems from dysfunctional parenting. Codependents develop the belief that they're basically flawed in some respect and that they're unlovable. Children can interpret parental behavior as rejecting and shaming when it's not meant to be. Even parents who profess their love may behave in ways that communicate you're not loved as the unique individual you are.
Shame often is unconscious, but may drive a person to love others who can't love or don't love them. In this way, a belief in one's unloveability becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy operating beneath conscious awareness. Some codependents have a shaming, "I'm defective" or "I'm a failure" script, blaming themselves for anything that goes wrong. Low-self-esteem, which is a cognitive self-evaluation, leads to self-attribution of fault and personal defects to explain why someone else wants to end a relationship. For example, if a man cheats, the woman often assumes it's because she's not desirable enough, rather than that his motivation comes from his fear of intimacy. Learning to love yourself can help heal shame and improve self-esteem.
In the dysfunctional and insecure family environment in which codependents grow up, they develop strategies and defenses in order to feel safe and loved. Some seek power, some withdraw, and others try to win the love of their parents by adapting to their parents' needs. Stereotypical codependents keep trying to make relationships work – usually harder than their partner – in order to feel secure and okay with themselves. A close relationship becomes the solution to their inner emptiness and insecurity.
It's not unusual for codependents to drop their friends, interests and hobbies – if they had any – once they're in a relationship. They focus all of their energy on the relationship and their loved one, which helps neither them nor the relationship. Some couples spend their time talking about their relationship instead of enjoying time together. Once it ends, they feel the emptiness of their life without a partner. The adage, "Happiness begins within," is apt. Recovery from codependency helps people assume responsibility for their own happiness. Although a relationship can add to your life, it won't make you happy in the long run, if you can't do that for yourself. It's important to have a support network of friends or 12-step meetings as well as activities that bring you pleasure regardless of whether you're in a relationship.
Codependents find it hard to let go because they haven't let go of the childhood hope of having that perfect love from their parents. They expect to be cared for and loved and accepted unconditionally from a partner in the way they wished their parents could have. No partner can make up for those losses and disappointments. Parents aren't perfect and even those with the best intentions disappoint their children. Part of becoming an independent adult is realizing and accepting this fact, not only intellectually, but emotionally, and that usually involves sadness and sometimes anger.
Losing someone can be devastating, because codependents put such importance on a relationship to make them happy. Fear is the natural outgrowth of shame. When you're ashamed, you fear that you won't be accepted and loved. You fear criticism and rejection. Codependents fear being alone and abandoned because they believe they're unworthy of love. They might cling to an abusive relationship in which they're being emotionally abandoned all the time. These aren't rational fears. Building a life that you enjoy prepares you to both live single and be in a healthier relationship where you're less dependent upon the other person to make you happy.
It's a psychological axiom that each loss recapitulates prior losses. You may have had other losses as an adult that compound grief about the current one. Yet often, it's abandonment losses from childhood that are being triggered. Closeness with a parent was either blissful or you may never had it, or didn't have it consistently. The intimacy of a close relationship reminds you of intimacy you once had or longed for with your mother or father. Either way, it's a loss. Codependents may have been neglected, blamed, abused, betrayed, or rejected in childhood, and these traumas get reactivated by current events. Sometimes, they unconsciously provoke situations reminiscent of their past in order that it can be healed. They also may incorrectly perceive rejection, because they expect to be treated the way they were previously.
Grief is part of letting go, but it's important to maintain friendships and life-affirming activities in the process. Blame, shame, and guilt aren't helpful, but working through trauma from the past can help you sort out your feelings and know what you feel about the ending of the present relationship. Do you miss the person, what he or she represents, or just being in a relationship?
Letting go and healing involve acceptance of yourself and your partner as separate individuals. Usually, relationships end because partners have individual issues with self-esteem and shame, are ill-matched, or have needs that they're unable to communicate or fill. Shame often causes people to withdraw or push the other person away. Healing trauma and losses and building self-esteem help individuals move forward in their life and take more responsibility for themselves.

6 Weeks, 10Kgs, 5 Rounds Of Kickboxing Action.
See the Before & After Transformation.
Well it's no secret that any Fighter in any Combat Sport isn't in prime 'Fight Fit Shape' with the killer instinct of a Great White Shark all year round.
In order for fighters whether they be Male or Female to Get Fighting Fit from what could be Off Peak training or Injury Recover they'll undergo what is termed as there 'Fight Camp'. This camp could be anything from 6-12 weeks dependant on the notice time of the fight, or present fitness, or the level at which the fight is set.
Lets face it, a Professional Fighter paid to train and compete will have a team of professionals on-hand to tailor training plans and plot weekly targets to enable that particular fighter to Get Fighting Fit and Peak just at the right moment to be the Best they can be at Fight Time. An Amateur Fighter on the other hand, holding down a full or part-time job to make ends meet may have to share training with other amateurs, share ideas about Under-Training, Over-Training, Nutrition, Injury Prevention and plot there own preparation with limited resources hoping, praying they will be Good Enough on the day.
It's not uncommon for any fighter Amateur or Professional to fight in a weight category that leaves them with a seemingly impossible amount of weight to lose but still remain Strong, Fit, Energised, Eager & Confident of a WIN.
Such was the case of a Campbell Nutrition customer who came to us with this dilemma!
1) He had 10Kg of weight to lose to make his 79Kg weigh-in Weight Limit.
2) He was signed up for a 5 round Full Contact Kickboxing Match.
At this point not too many people would see any major issues or Stumbling Blocks ahead but then came the Crunch.
Even as an amateur with all the restrictions and challenges presented to him this customer, with the help and advise given to him here at Campbell Nutrition made Weight, stayed Strong and was Highly Energised for a Hard fought 5 Round Battle which saw him come out as the WINNER by Unanimous Decision.

Absolute Write Water Cooler > Discussion > AW Roundtable > Do you write more than one book at a time?
View Full Version : Do you write more than one book at a time?
I am not sure if I am forming a bad habit or not, but I have a novel I am working on currently at 11,000 words, and the other day I had this idea pop in my head for another story.
I sat down and began writing as this amazing creative flow would not allow me to do anything else at the moment. Before I knew it I had 2,000 words typed out! And now I have another idea developing for another story, and I am feeling the tug to begin that MS as well!
Do you guys do this? If so, are you keeping it balanced? If not, how do you keep from losing that creative energy when it hits you?
Some people can juggle multiple projects simultaneously, some can't. The only way to know which kind of person you are, is to try it. Do you manage to finish them both? Or are you so distracted by idea #2, you never complete idea #1? I think you need tremendous discipline to work on more than one major project at a time.
As for me, I typically work on one novel at a time. I will, however, write short stories here and there at the same time.
I can write and finish multiple short stories at one time, but not books. As CaroGirl said, the key question is whether you can finish multiple projects. If not, then focus on finishing one project before moving on to the next.
I'm working on a novel and an MG kids' book at the same time. It works really well for me bc I find that when I'm working on one and I run out of steam for the day, I can switch to the other and start fresh. I'm spending more hours a day writing using this method.
Do I do that? No. Could I do that? Certainly, especially if I'm in a rough spot in whatever I'm working on.
This is a great part of creativity, but for me, it's something I had to train to be productive instead of disruptive. I'm not sure how I did it (this was decades ago), but I taught myself to only pay attention to sparks of ideas that have to do with the present MIP and not let myself get distracted by new bright, shiny ideas.
Hope you find your balance.
I think something happens to my brain when I'm in the writing zone. My thoughts take off on all different tangents and I come up with a bazillion ideas and have to write them all down before I forget. Later, I can chew on them and flesh them out, but I don't dare skip over because those are my brainchilds (brainchildren?) Anyway, it works for me, because later on I have dry spells where absolutely NOTHING shows up on the page. That's when I go back to those ideas, rough drafts and outlines.
Anyone can start multiple projects.
How many are you finishing?
Yeah, where is that wise ol' geezer?
I can't imagine doing more than a project at a time. I simply can't squeeze another novel into my timetable. It obviously varies from person to person. I'm quite astonished at the efficiency of writers who work full time but are still able to work on multiple projects. Congrats to them.
I can write ten books at once, my brain is strange. Once I mull an idea over I have it all right there and for all intents and purposes it's written, It's hard to explain.
yet I can't remember what I had for breakfast.
Someone stomping up above? Do I need to come out from under my bridge and do a little geezing?
As others have already said, this is different in different people, but there is a very easy way to determine which side of this arc your behind finds turf. Do you finish your projects? No other consideration is important. Writers finish their projects. If not, you are not a writer, you are just someone who writes stuff.
Here is the problem. A novel-length story is a spouse/long-term partner. The relationship is all flowery and mind-spinning at first, but for the long haul, there will be bumps, and it will require work, sometimes hard work.
But its easy to be seduced by someone new, someone who can return you to that flowery, mind-spinning state, and it's easy to ditch the other, work-requiring relationship to dive into the heady bliss of the new thing. And once that gets a little old and needing some work, damned if there isn't another sweet young thing knocking at your door, asking you to come with her/him, where it's Spring again.
The problem with this constant seduction is nothing gets finished. So, you have to find out if you can become a finisher. Some people can finish while working on multiple long projects. Others have to be single-minded about it. For people new to writing, who haven't yet established that most important trait of writers--self-discipline--the jump from idea to idea is probably most dangerous of temptations out there.
The competition in this business is harsh, and one can't even enter into that arena until a project is completed. Some people avoid the fear of failure by jumping from project to project so nothing gets to a form that requires submission. These people are not writers (as mentioned above), even though they may be really good at writing stuff.
So, find out if you can finish something. Find out if you can stick with an ongoing project when the writing gets a little tough, where the flowerbed requires weeding, and fertilizing and maintenance (in other words, hard work). Find out if you can stick with a project when it requires that you put some emotion into it, instead of you just sucking the emotional highs out of the newness of idea after idea.
Find out what kind of self-discipline you have to develop to achieve--to finish off your projects.
LOL NeuroFizz, no wonder they were summoning you! I only have one completed MS. So, I am still wet behind the ears and I should stay out of those tempting singles bars. I am glad I asked before I started biting off more than I could chew. I don't want to be a cheater!
I think for now I will write down those brilliant ideas in my idea book and leave them at that until I get this one finished.
To be fair, MaLainie, you have finished one project. Give the waters a little test. See if you can finish the one you have going while also playing with the new one. But resist jumping to another one. Some people have already mentioned how they can finish multiple, simultaneous projects. One way to find out if that is you is to try it. But the minute it starts impacting the first one, or if it gets to be an emotional high-type of thing (like an addiction). Pull back.
Another aspect of this writing business is that writers who want to make some decent cash from the endeavor have to get a pipline of projects going, so as soon as one is complete, another is started (or continued for those who can work on multiples). This shouldn't be a major concern until one finds out how they can best become a finisher, but with the development of solid writerly self-discipline, one's approach to establishing a pipeline of writing projects may change (mature).
So I'll be continuing my serial novel, writing 1 short story, and starting to edit a completed draft next month, if all goes well. If not, I'll know I need to scale back.
Neuro: Are you saying that seven-year itch is the same thing as a mid-book slump?
I live in the world of my novels, so I can't leave that world to live in another and then just come back...it would be all wrong. I have a hard time writing if I put the project down for a week (when I go away somehwere, etc.) without reading several chapters before the current point to get back in the zone.
When I get the chance to write full time, I'm so absorbed in my project that I can't even think of anything else.
I'm wrapping up a novel right now (80K out of 95K), and it almost floundered because I got a terrific idea for a historical fiction that is just dying to get out, but I was able to shelve it for later. Had I started on it, this one would never have been finished. At least not anytime soon.
It has been over a decade now since I first sat down seriously to write a novel. To show for my efforts in this time I have a dozen part or half-finished novels. Every time I had "writer's block" I would start something else, figuring I'd eventually pick up once more the thing I'd been working on. But I didn't.
NeuroFizz tells it exactly like it is.
On the plus side, I have improved immensely as a writer in this time. But I have learned the hard way that I must work on only one thing a a time.
It's hard enough to focus myself and write one thing. Two or more would make my head explode from pent up procrastination.
If you feel fatigue from your WIP and think you can reasonably complete shorter projects at the same time, what about setting hard goals? For example, work on other projects only after finishing a chapter of the WIP or another pace which works for you.
Going with the wind might keep you from finishing, as others have pointed out, but committing yourself to certain deadlines or goals might keep your writing fresh and also keep you on-task to actually finish a longer work.
ADDTN: I misread your post, I'm sorry. You're referring to multiple longer works at once? I can't and wouldn't attempt that, but what works for you (as that annoying saying goes) is fine. As others have said, it's a matter of commitment to each project.
It's impossible to write every story of every idea you have. Voices will always be tugging at your fingers, but your ability to channel the best of your best is a priceless asset to you as an author.
I work on multiple projects, in a way. When new ideas begin to gnaw at my mind, I'll play with an outline of the project. But I won't start writing until I've finished my current project.
I refer to that as paying homage to my ADD.
I write down each idea I get so I don't forget it, but I only ever have the time to work on one at once. I tried two at a time, got twenty thousand words in the second one and said, "I'll get back to it later." It was stopping my first project.
If I come up with ideas I like while working on another project, I jot down everything I have in my head down in a notebook. I write using notes first anyways, so once I'm finished working on one project, I have notes for other projects ready to go!
I get ideas but I don't let them distract me. I just jot down some brief notes and leave it until I've finished the project I'm working on. It gives me the impetus to work if I hit a rough patch. I tell myself "If you finish this book, you can start the next one." I love the idea that there's more writing to come.
I began to struggle with it recently.
I made a decision to stick to two projects and see where it takes me. Despite all the wonderful ideas that pop into my head, I only jot them down, but I don't get seduced. I'm staying focused.
I was juggling 6 different novels at once... and I completed rough drafts on 5 of them so far, but I stepped back from all but one... and then was able to finish a "polished" manuscript for that one... so... yes and no. I juggle multiple novels at once, while rough drafting... but when it comes time to polish... I focus only on one.
I wrote three novels at once. I finished one. Now I'm working on one of the two novels more than the other. When I need to take a break, I switch...and so on and so forth.
Oh, and I agree with Fade and Annabelle Lee above me: keep a journal or notebook of any "random thoughts" that you might have. You can always go back and get great book/story ideas.

Almost 27 thousand people turned out at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin last night for the Sean Cox charity match.
The 53 year old Meath man was assaulted outside Anfield last April, leaving him with life altering injuries that require around the clock care.
Last night's match was a chance to raise awareness of Sean's journey and raise funds to help with his recovery.
A lifelong Liverpool fan, Sean travelled with his brother to the Champions League match between Liverpool and AS Roma at Anfield last April.
Just before kick-off, on his way to the stadium, the father of three from Dunboyne was attacked, leaving him with life-changing injuries.
He has spent the majority of the past year in hospital and is undergoing rehabilitation treatment in the National Rehabilitation Centre, Dun Laoghaire.
Over the past year, a number of events have been held to help fund his treatment.
The largest to date took place at the Aviva Stadium last night, where Liverpool Legends turned out for a charity match against the Republic of Ireland.
Almost 27 thousand people attended.
One of those was Sean himself, who received a large cheer from the crowd after showing up on the big screen on the 22nd minute.
It's hoped the funds gathered can help the Meath man on his road to recovery.
To date, over €1m has been raised through an official GoFundMe page.

If we had to pick the two most obsessed-over foods out there, it'd be bacon and avocados.

Cut open the avocado and remove the pit. Slice lengthwise it in ¾-inch increments, and then cut through the middle to create thick chunks.
Cut each slice of bacon in half and wrap the piece around the avocado chunks. Use a water-soaked toothpick to help the bacon stay in place, and place the chunks on a wire rack. Sprinkle brown sugar-chili mixture on top of each avocado slice.
Bake for 10-15 minutes and serve immediately.

Q: How does the size of a valve opening determine liquid velocity and pressure? Say we have a water reservoir with a valve near the bottom to allow water to be released into a separate reservoir (for example, in order to avoid flooding). The valve is initially slightly (10%) open, and they want to open the valve to 20%. What effects will this have on the valve and on the water traveling through it? Specifically, how will it affect the fluid velocity and mass flow rate, and the pressure on the valve?

A: It depends on the type of valve. Butterfly valves for example have a approximately linear behaviour only at a few percent of opening. Gate valves are more linear.
But for small openings as 10% to 20%, an almost linear behaviour is expected. That means the flow doubles, provided the volume of the reservoir is big enough to have its level practically constant.

Grace Nichols' Island Man
1830 Words8 Pages
The mood of this poem is very soothing and is a sense of relaxation and security. Grace Nichols is showing that the island mans first home is the Caribbean. "the steady breaking and wombing." The word "wombing" is a made up word by the writer. It has many associations but it makes us the readers imagine a place of comfort and security but more importantly a sense of home and belonging. The reason why this image is put in to the readers mind is because babies grow in the mothers' womb, so we could say that the womb is everyone's "first home". The word 'wombing' can also mean his mother land. The first line in this poem is only taken up by one word, 'morning' this may represent a peaceful approach to the day. I came to this conclusion…show more content…
This signals to the reader that he is not actually in this place. This makes me imagine that he carries his homeland in his head. This also gives you an idea that island man is both in London and Caribbean. The writer makes us envision a scene of beauty and only something we can dream of. The scene is also revealed as precious to the island man. "small emerald island" portrays that the island is an emerald. An emerald is very hard to get and in many cases people could only dream of getting one. The writer uses a technique called a metaphor. The reason why the writer uses this technique is because it allows the reader to imagine the scene better. For example the writer compares an 'emerald' with the 'island'. Emeralds can be green this then represents green tress and most islands usually have a lot of trees. Grace Nichols describes the sun as a positive image. 'the sun surfacing defiantly' makes the reader picture an image of the sun climbing in to the sky. The word 'defiantly' allows the sun to stand out. 'sun surfacing defiantly' could also represent that he doesn't want the sun to rise, he just wants to lye here in his small island and just relax but know matter what he does the sun still rises. Another technique the poet uses is something called sibilance which is a repetitive s sound. The sound of the s is actually trying to recreate the sounds of the island as well as having the mellow imagery of the blue surf. One of the examples the letter s creates
Comparing Blessing by imtiaz Dharke and Island Man by Grace Nichols
essay I will be comparing two poems which show connections between people and the places in which they live. The two poems I will be comparing and contrasting are "Blessing" by imtiaz Dharker and "Island Man" by Grace Nichols. Both of these poets express their feelings through these poems. Grace Nichols allocates her experiences of how people feel when separated from the environment and place they lived in for such a long period of time. On the contrary Imtiaz Dharker uses the poem "Blessing" to convey
Island Man and Blessing
Compare "Island Man" by Grace Nichols with "Blessing" by Imtiaz Dharker Water is a necessity of life and affects people both physically and mentally. The poets Grace Nichols and Imtiaz Dharker explore the different themes of water in their poems "Island Man" and "Blessing". These two poems give us a perspective of the cultures and lives of the people described in the poems, but are based on the running theme of water. Although they appear to be very different, they do have some similarities. Looking
that is founded on doubt and distrust? While the saying "no man is an island' continues to echo to remind the society of what is meant by fellowship and being there for the people who might need the help. Nevertheless, in reality, such concept of fellowship has already gone awry, especially at the point where people have learned how to live with themselves as much as they have learned not to put their trust on anyone else. In the story The Man in the Well, a contrast on how humans likely define the
No Man Is an Island Essay
No man is an Island Essay. 'No man is an Island' – John Dome, presents to us a solid idea that states that no man can survive alone, the quote shows an inclusivity of all men and women stating that it is an impossibility to survive alone. The idea that No man can be an Island can be morphed into, 'man is an ever growing and changing island'. My two texts and film 'Heat and Dust – Prawer Jhabvala', 'Not in India – Sadi Hussain' and 'Chocolat' demonstrate this dynamic that 'no man is an island' but
No Man Is An Island By Derek Walcott
"No man is an island" he describes himself, as a man who cares about the whole; not just the individual. He writes about someone who whole-heartedly believes in everybody working together and performing their given role in society. However, in Derek Walcott's mash-up poem "Ruins of a great house" he argues that Donne is "selectively compassionate" (Miya, 2016). If we read the two poems together we see that the two poets engage in cleverly written conversation. While Donne states he is a man who cares

An Exploration of Grace Nichols Resentment at the Legacy of the Slave Trade Through Her Poem 'Taint'
Empire in the early nineteenth century. During four centuries American and Europeans nations obtained enslaved people from African slave-traders (although some were captured by Europeans slave traders). Born in Guyana in 1950, author and poet Grace Nichols moved into England in 1977 where she has compiled several books of poetry, many of which discuss the slave trade. Her poem "taint" is an illustration of her resentment at the legacy of the slave trade. The title of the poem itself is significant;

Students leave University to pursue social app
Former students Chris Prinz and Carey Janecka created an app to connect students to campus organizations.

Published on August 25, 2016 at 12:26 am
By Elizabeth Hlavinka, Katie Walsh
A year ago, Chris Prinz walked into his intro to marketing class, beginning his second year at UT. But on the first day of school a year later, he was far from campus, feverishly working behind computers and rushing to finish his debut app.
Prinz, a management informations systems sophomore, along with his friend Carey Janecka, a computer science sophomore, withdrew from the University last spring to create Tether, an iPhone application that pairs students with organizations on their college campuses that match their interests.
Janecka, the CEO, manages the technical operations, while Prinz — who earned his lowest grade at UT in his intro to marketing class — handles the business side of the project. The app is scheduled to be released at UT, Texas Tech and Texas A&M next week.
According to Forbes.com, nine out of 10 startups fail. Because the odds are stacked against them, Prinz said he and Janecka knew they had to go all in — even if it meant dropping out of school.
"It's less scary and more exciting," Prinz said. "It's the high-pace, energetic environment we're looking for. The people who choose this lifestyle don't call this fear. Initially, it was very daunting, because I realized I'm very much diverging from this normal path of school [and] family."
Tether originated from Prinz's own college experience. Both he and Janecka struggled to find their niche on campus and were discouraged by other sites like HornsLink, which lists UT's organizations, but doesn't play an active role in matching them with students. Janecka said he learned other campuses, such as Texas Tech and Texas A&M, suffer the same challenges.
"With 50,000 undergraduates, you'd think you'd be able to find the dozen that are your best friends, but it's hard," Prinz said. "Neither of us really thought we found our place."
The duo also noticed the inherent segregation and lack of diversity within many campus organizations. Janecka said people tend to navigate toward others from the same socioeconomic background, and because recruitment for many clubs is done through word-of-mouth, organizations often become homogeneous.
"We wanted to find a way to help students find an organization they really want to be a part of and bring authenticity to that recruitment progress," Janecka said. "[We want] to pair students based on interest, not on friends or reputation."
After the launch next week, Janecka and Prinz want to continue expanding to other universities nationwide. They also intend to link Tether to nonprofits or volunteer groups outside of the University so that, if a student is interested in animals and volunteering, for example, they could be paired with an organization like Austin
Pets Alive.
By the end of the year, the co-founders also hope to incorporate revenue-generating features. So far, the duo has bootstrapped the project with donations from family and friends.
"If you just want to make money, no one would want to help you," Prinz said. "Because we want to improve the student experience and we realize how big of an issue it really is, we've gotten so much support. That's invaluable."
Janecka said they understand it's a long road ahead, but they are excited to make an app that will impact student's lives.
"It's super exhilarating to see, because you're building everything with your hands," Janecka said. "We had no company before, and now we're about to launch a product."
