By Silvio Marconi: Engineer and anthropologist, specialized in cooperation and development. He has authored, in Italian, several books mostly focused on ethnocultural syncretism.
Opinions expressed in this post are personal.
The US President Donald Trump in his speech at the UN General Assembly, on September 2018, has attacked any country in the world choosing a "socialist or communist way"; his attack was explicitly directed against Venezuela, accused of following a "Cuban pathway".
Several observers were doubting if those words were also a new weapon in the economic conflict between USA and People's Republic of China igniting by President Trump.
Really, China is ruled by a Communist Party, even if an apparent domain of the capitalistic market is established in most of the economic fields; Chinese Communist Party recognizes this situation, calling the system a "market socialism model based on the Chinese history".
It is slightly difficult, mostly for a Western observer, to understand the meaning of such expression; in the People's Republic of China business seems to follow the capitalistic rules and mechanisms, but all the credit is oriented by the State, both the educational and information system are controlled by the State and no rich people can follow Berlusconi model, buying tv-stations and creating a political party. The Communist Party hegemony on the state is established both by the Constitution and the practice. The problem is that Westerners are not quite aware Chinese history produced very different models and solutions. Followers of Liberalism and Marxism in the Western countries are stuck in their own models. There is nothing wrong with this because Liberal thought and Communist thought are both product of Western evolution of ideologies and economic structures.
However, China has a different history and also the imported ideas, from Buddhism to Liberalism and Marxian theories, have been always re-elaborated in "China style".
The capitalistic ruling phase in China was very short, weak and basically dominated by a total dependence on foreign powers: "Chinese" capitalism, between 1911 and 1949, was a puppet of the Western powers, without any national project, while its industrial base, during less than 40 years of evolution, was circusmcribed to some local areas (Shanghai, Guangdong, some Manchurian mining areas, etc.) within a huge agricultural semi-feudal system. Before 1911 China was an empire where, since ancient times, (except in some critical periods) the State controlled the key productions (i.e.: silk, salt, gunpowder, metals, paper, etc.) and the trade was allowed just by the State license. The State even established the place to live and to work. We find no Medici or Fugger family in the Chinese history, no Republic of Venice or Hanseatic League, no Machiavelli or Luther, Voltaire or Hobbes.
As a direct consequence we cannot talk about a real national capitalism in China!
When Mao begun to lead the Chinese Communist Party, it was fresh from Chiang Kai Shek's savage repression, occurred in Guangdong (Canton) and Shanghai, against the industrial workers revolts, instructed by the Comintern (the Soviet Union ruled international organization of the Communist Parties).
Indeed the Comintern was founded on the pure Marxian theory that only the industrial working class could and should be the engine of the revolution.
However Marxist theory had been already redefined by Lenin who bypassed the assumption the revolution should have happened in the most advanced capitalistic countries. Lenin, taking advantage of the First World War crisis, leaded the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, the less advanced capitalistic state in Europe, accepting the industrial working class should be the engine of the revolution also in an underdeveloped state.
Mao reversed this idea: adapting the Marxist and Leninist thought to Chinese reality, he leaded a peasants revolution, organizing a Chinese industrial working class (and a Chinese industry not belonging to foreign owners) after the mainly peasants based Chinese Communist Party took the power in 1949! Therefore, it's only a Western myopia to expect China follows the classic criteria of definition of "socialism" or "capitalism".
The core-problem is the relation, in the Chinese culture and history, between continuity and ruptures.
No Western modern revolutionary leader used in his speeches, written works or slogans the Occitan poems model or the Byzantine art model.
Mao, asking to "fight against the old traditions" ("Chinese Cultural Revolution" of the Sixties) was using the poetic models of the Tang Dynasty (618-907 a.C.) and it is possible to find very ancient Chinese legends (like "Yu Kung destroying the mountains"), adapted to a revolutionary tale, in his Little Red Book.
At the same time, many Red Guards posters mixed some elements of the "socialist realism", imported from the Soviet Union, with imperial Chinese symbols: the sunrise, the phoenix, etc., and/or with ancient mythological symbols: the golden dish, the smiling children, the storks, the turtles, etc. .
In Western iconography, the use of the red color is obviously making the most of its psychological effect, stimulating passion, but there is no continuity between the red as sacred ruling symbol (and martyrs' symbol in the Christian universe) and the red of the Paris Commune or the modern Western communists: their red comes directly from the battle flag; historically, the red flag, connected with the blood color, has been used, in the past, by many armies as a symbol of fighting without respite and with the same meaning was used by the Caribbean Pirates. From the XVII centuries it was also used by the besieged fortresses and towns to show that they refused to surrender. In western countries the revolutionary red was never conjoint to the gold or his brother, the yellow. In Asian cultures, the binomial red-gold (red-yellow) is an ancient positive symbol of prosperity, wealth, power; in the Russian language red, красный (krasnyy) means also "beautiful, great" and the Moscow Red Square (Красная площадь, Krasnaja ploščad') has that name since the XVII century, two centuries before the Marxist followers adopted the red flag and three centuries before they took the power in Russia. In Chinese culture, gold (and yellow) became the symbol of the Empire, while red was (from the blood color) the symbol of life and fertility, as well as in many other ancient cultures. It is interesting to highlight that all the children in the world, also today, consider the red and the yellow the best colors, while a big difference exists among the adults; the Asiatic adult people continue to prefer red and yellow, while the Western adult people prefer the blue, because they have been conditioned by the Western iconography promoting, in the last eight centuries, the blue to the first place. For example, until the XIV century the mantle of Virgin Mary was red and only after that period was transformed in a blue one. The French dynasties promoted the blue as the king color, while it was spread off the absurd idea that the noble people belong to a different human race than the peasants. The first were supposed to have blue blood, the second red. Consequently, the use of the red color (and the red and yellow binomial) in the political symbols and propaganda, has a totally different meaning and impact in the Western countries and in China. The mutiny seamen exhibited the red flag on their ships on Thames river in 1797, the strikers of the Welsh Merthyr Tydfil mine used the red as a symbol of the gory shirts of their comrade assassinated by the police in 1832, the German, French, British, Italian workers used the red flag in the XIX century without adding the sickle and hammer, especially never used yellow sickles and hammers, included in the red flag only by a Soviet decree in 1918.
In the Chinese case, red and yellow have a millennial history and meaning. This iconographical difference is the symbol of a huge one involving the meaning of concepts as "capitalism", "socialism", "state"; without immersing these concepts in the millennial Chinese history and culture, especially in the Chinese dialectic relation between continuity and ruptures, no current aspects of the People's Republic of China reality can be properly understood. Continuity and ruptures' dialectic in China are not just related to political aspects; the same characteristic influences art and poetry, institution and personal attitudes, symbols and business. Chinese culture has never been the "static and motionless" reality depicted in the sinophobic Western vision: important evolutions have been registered, over the centuries, in painting and technology, in religion and literature.
However, the Chinese evolutions never have deleted the past like in the Western case. After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, never a unitary state has dominated the territories included in that Empire, no unitary language has been established, no unitary institutional and economic system, artistic model, religion have characterized those regions and each evolution has been also the consequence of a destruction, like the erasing of the pre-Christian ideologies and art, the removal of the role of the Muslim culture in the Western Middle Age Europe, the destruction of the feudal system of values by the winning bourgeoisie, etc. . More, the area ruled by the Roman Empire was characterized, in the last fifteen centuries, by any kind of bloody conflicts among different religious currents, ideologies, socioeconomic models producing oppositions and destructions, as well as a huge division between peoples and societies.
Nowadays, the present difficulties inside the European Union are also the consequences of centuries of conflicts and divisions not only among different powers (a universal reality) but among opposite concepts and theories. China in its millenary history had a lot of conflicts, periods of fragmentation and reunification, dynasties crisis, civil wars, invasions, but religions never fought in China as in Western Europe, different languages have never destroyed its unitary culture, unlike in Western Europe, institutional and socio-economic differences have never fragmented the Chinese territory, again unlike in Western Europe where we can recall divisions and conflicts between the maritime republics and the absolute monarchies or between the Emirate of Cordoba and the Anglo-Saxon kingdom).
More, when foreign invaders (Mongols and then Manchu) conquered China they gradually accepted the Chinese culture, up to self-proclaim as guardians and defenders of the Chinese identity, while the Normans invaders of the British Islands and Sicily, the French invaders of Catalonia acted to destroy and substitute the existing identities and cultures. Imagining a present China with 28 nations and languages, with monarchy and republics, with centuries of reciprocal wars, with different tax systems and laws as the European Union, instead that a unitary state, we can understand as all the influence, the power, the richness, the same identity of China could not exist. The existence itself of a unitary state has been the eternal goal of any Chinese leadership in the history: in any crisis and fragmentation period the dreams of any local leader was to reconstruct the unity of the state, because in the Chinese traditional conception China is the State and the State (not the territory with its borders) is China. Unity of the State is possible (or dreamed) for centuries only if continuity and ruptures dialectically cohabit as they have done, till now, in Chinese world; the Western Europe's attempt to achieve this goal is the product of imperialistic conquests, as in the cases of Napoleon and Hitler, or of democratic limited project strictly concerning the finance and trade aspect, like the European Union, because Western thought doesn't admit the Taoist dialectic between the opposites (in the Western thought, tertium non datur) and the Chinese dialectic between innovation and tradition, new and old, revolution and conservation. Western people and leaders have internalized the idea that the model of society built by them through the Industrial Revolution and the establishment of the capitalistic system is the best in the History, without considering that the possibility of carrying out the Industrial Revolution was based on the plunder of the "New World" resources, on the genocide and on the Atlantic the slave trade. Therefore, Western people and leaders are accustomed to think that their model can be only spread off on the whole Planet, with very little local adaptations, without considering that other perspectives, other histories, other thoughts can have a better adherence to the reality. After a parenthesis of around two centuries of Western domain, now the World is assisting to the re-birthing of a power that was one of the biggest at Planet level for around two thousand years: China; also India has taken again an important role in the international scenario, in tune with its important role in the ancient past, from the Harappa and Mohenjo Daro civilization to the Moghul Empire. We cannot forget great schools of thought as Buddhism grew up exactly in India, before influencing most of the Eastern Asian lands and, partially, Christianism as well. If the Western people and leaders will persist to be flattened on their preconceptions, to prefer the excluding opposition instead of a dialectical approach, our societies will be obliged to afford new, horrible crisis, not only economic, even at ethic, social and environmental level.

Q: Get Unique Values from Array of Multiiple Objects Working on a NodeJS web app and am trying to get some information from my backend dataset.  Here's what the pertinent part of the Mongoose model looks like:
gameLog: [
  {
     date: String,
     season: String,
     location: String,
     opp: String,
     gameType: String,
     result: String,
     start: Number,
     min: Number,
     fgm: Number,
     fga: Number,
     fgp: Number,
     twoPM: Number,
     twoPA: Number,
     twoP: Number,
     threePM: Number,
     threePA: Number,
     threeP: Number,
     ftm: Number,
     fta: Number,
     ftp: Number,
     orb: Number,
     drb: Number,
     ast: Number,
     stl: Number,
     blk: Number,
     to: Number,
     pf: Number,
     pts: Number
  }

]
It's for the storage of box scores.  How can I search through each object's season field and return an array containing the unique values from that field?  When I use a map the searches the data of the requested player on the route, it returns:
let seasons = foundPlayer.gameLog.map(({
    season}) => season);

// Output

[
  '2019', '2019', '2019', '2019', '2019',
  '2019', '2019', '2019', '2019', '2019',
  '2019', '2019', '2019', '2019', '2019',
  '2019', '2019', '2019', '2019', '2019',
  '2019', '2019', '2019', '2019', '2019',
  '2019', '2020', '2020', '2020', '2020',
  '2020', '2020', '2020', '2020', '2020',
  '2020', '2020', '2020', '2020', '2020',
  '2020', '2020', '2020', '2020', '2020',
  '2020', '2020', '2020', '2020', '2020',
  '2020', '2020', '2020', '2020', '2020',
  '2020', '2020', '2020'
]

So rather than each instance of the season in the array, I want the unique values.  What am I missing here?  Thanks in advance for the help!

A: Here's one way to do it:
let seasons = [...(new Set(foundPlayer.gameLog.map(({
    season}) => season)))];

We're using the native Set object, which always guarantees unique values. Another approach is to use an external library like lodash.

Q: Analog of \pdfelapsedtime for LuaTeX and XeTeX In pdfTeX, the \pdfelapsedtime primitive gives access to the time since this pdfTeX run was started, in "scaled seconds" (1/65536 seconds). This is useful to benchmark code: repeat it many times, and test the time it takes.
\newcount\benchmarkcount
\long\def\tenfold#1{#1#1#1#1#1#1#1#1#1#1}
\long\edef\thousandfold{\tenfold{\tenfold{\tenfold{#1}}}}
\long\def\benchmark#1{%
  \benchmarkcount\pdfelapsedtime
  \thousandfold{#1}%
  \typeout{\the\dimexpr\pdfelapsedtime sp-\benchmarkcount sp miliseconds}%
}

Is it possible to have access to the time in a similar way in XeTeX and/or LuaTeX?

A: After some help from here, the following code seems to be pretty close to the original primitive. We look at the pdflatex release notes (2005-08-01) first

*

*\pdfelapsedtime is a read-only integer that (initially) returns the
    amount of time passed since the start of this run. This amount is given
    in `scaled seconds': the value 65536 counts as one second. If more time
    has passed than 32767 seconds, (2^31)-1 will be returned.

*\pdfresettimer updates the internal timer, such that subsequent calls to
    \pdfelapsedtime will restart from 0.

Now, the try to reimplement in user space:
\directlua{pdfelapsedtimer_basetime=0}

os.clock() counts from the start of lua, so it pdfelapsedtimer_basetime is set to zero. No need to read the initial os.clock() value, it is supposed to be 0 anyway. From lua.org:

The os.clock function returns the number of seconds of CPU time for
  the program. Its typical use is to benchmark a piece of code

If the user want to reset it, the pdflatex primitive is \pdfresettimer. In that case, we read out os.clock() and store it in pdfelapsedtimer_basetime to subtract the offset later.
\protected\def\pdfresettimer{\directlua{pdfelapsedtimer_basetime = os.clock()}}

Finally, the \pdfelapsedtime macro subtracts the offset to get seconds, multiplies by 65536 to get scaled seconds, adds 0.5 to allow the function math.floor proper rounding and returns an integer. We need an integer and not characters in the token stream, therefore, \numexpr is utilized.
\protected\def\pdfelapsedtime{\numexpr\directlua{tex.print(math.floor((os.clock()-pdfelapsedtimer_basetime)*65536+0.5))}\relax}

The following MWE is an implementation for the original question:
\documentclass{article}

\newcount\benchmarkcount
\long\def\tenfold#1{#1#1#1#1#1#1#1#1#1#1}
\long\edef\thousandfold#1{\tenfold{\tenfold{\tenfold{#1}}}}
\long\def\benchmark#1{%
  \benchmarkcount\pdfelapsedtime
  \thousandfold{#1}%
  \typeout{\the\dimexpr\pdfelapsedtime sp-\benchmarkcount  sp}%
}

\usepackage{lipsum}

\directlua{pdfelapsedtimer_basetime=0}
\protected\def\pdfresettimer{\directlua{pdfelapsedtimer_basetime = os.clock()}}
\protected\def\pdfelapsedtime{\numexpr\directlua{tex.print(math.floor((os.clock()-pdfelapsedtimer_basetime)*65536+0.5))}\relax}

\begin{document}

Fatman – Interview with Film Directors The Nelms Brothers
Angelo BuannoActionAdventureDramaFilm Reviews Without Spoilers
War for the Planet of the Apes [2017] is the final film in the prequel trilogy that Matt Reeves (War and Dawn) and Rupert Wyatt (Rise) have delivered to cinemas since 2011. Audiences have followed Caesar (Andy Serkis) and his family of apes for the last several years as they have gained their freedom, fought for their solidarity and now struggle to survive in a world that they have forever altered. After good supporting roles from James Franco and Gary Oldman, War is graced with the more convincing talent of Woody Harrelson as the main human antagonist to the Apes. In a tale of revenge and survival, War delivers some thought provoking imagery and a slate of themes to complement rounding out this trilogy.
Caesar Serkis: Andy Serkis has become synonymous with any of the characters he has portrayed in the past. After three rounds of Caesar, there is a strong case to be made that the role that Serkis will forever be remembered for will be of Caesar, leader of the Apes (sorry LOTR fans). There is more effort behind motion-capture acting than standing and reciting lines than what may seem to be on the surface. Serkis is a vocal master as an actor and his facial acting is even superior. It helps that Serkis had several attempts at this character but he really did something extra in War.Caesar goes on a path in War that is unexpected as his morals are questioned. Caesar's virtue is nearly lost in this film and his pain of this choice is expressed perfectly by Serkis. Serkis has cemented Caesar as one of the greatest science fiction characters of all time.
Out of the Comfort Zone: War does something different than the previous two films in this series and that is the location of the events in the film take place in about three separate locations. We are given the base of operations for the Apes, then we are treated to some gorgeous cinematography of the tundra and finish off with the base of operation for The Colonel (Harrelson) and his men. Not only do the Apes go through a journey in this film but the audience is visually taken on that journey as well. There is no cut to a new location. The audience gets tied down and pulled through the mud and snow as the characters struggle to find their end destination.
Character Clash: Caesar vs Koba will forever be the best dichotomy in this trilogy. However, Caesar vs The Colonel does not disappoint in this film. There are events in the previous films that fuel passions and vices within these two leaders and they both have relatable causes. But what really makes these two characters unique, is how they are impacted by fear and their own form of righteousness. They both allow these themes to control their destinies. At times they are what save these characters and often it dooms them both and the decline that is witnessed is truly poetic.
Love It or Hate It: There are aspects of this film that a general audience member could either leave or take. Coming to mind is the score, the amount of interactions Caesar and The Colonel have together and the character of Bad Ape (Steve Zahn). All have moments where they are amazing and all have moments where you ask yourself "Is this what I wanted?". It is exciting to know that there can be several different opinions of this film and questions can be asked long after it is finished with its cinematic run.
War for the Planet of the Apes has helped to establish this prequel trilogy
as one of the best science fiction film series of all time and
War will be regarded as a staple for sequels in any film genre.

helo people , is the a780 user friendly , is it possible to use 1 hand holding the unit & use the outer keypad to compose a SMS.
hi,i just wanna know that if this phone supports video streaming or not.if yes why is it not mentioned on the site.does it play recorded videos as one of the guys has written it has great video quality.
When you click "detail" in a contact, home address/city/state...etc is inserted between "work postal code" and "work country"
Even after I've mapped my fields correctly, when syncing from computer to A780, work address fields always get filled up first before home address fields. i.e. if I have only home address on the computer side in MPT, after sync to Mobile phone side, the address is sync to work address on in the mobile phone side in MPT.
Thank you very much for your time and precious opinions, they are quite usefule and consultative to me.
spent couple hours last night to get familiar with those interesting functions.
Initially I am quite satisfied with this one due to most of my inquire can be satisfied.
in TW it is around US$430- with 2 battery and charger,discs.
pen writing is rapidly recognized for Chinese wrods, PDA aspect is Ok to me due to seldom I use sync data to my computer,just simple note for meeting and appointment.
Here is a great forum !!
actually this motorola a780 works anywhere in the world, but it depends on which sim card you gonna put in. for example in the USA you can buy a T-mobile sim card with 1100 minutes for $120 + you gonna have a phone number. but you have to but minutes in 365 days so you can have the same phone number other wise you get nothing. like me i use it over seas with a prepaid sim card and it is free incoming. it is the best phone out there.
I have a sucky carrier (Fido in Canada) so i always got cut when I'm driving (say ~70km/hr). However, if I stay at the same location, there is no problem receiving signal.
As for PDA function, it's not perfect compared to Palm (I was a Palm Vx user). Since MPT is not 100% compatible to Outlook, some fields cannot be sync correctly (birthday, assistent, manager...etc). I usually input data directly to the phone window in MPT instead of compouter window in MPT to avoid sync problem.
Phone volume is ok but i don't consider it loud.
One cool function that I found out recently is this phone can read you the text messages when u have the voice command on!!
I have this phone for about a month and love it. I am using it through T-Mobile and they helped me to set up the internet access on it as well. The only problem I have is that there are no free games for this phone. If anyone knows any website please let me know. Thanks.
I want to change A780 but can not make up my mind, can any one offer his opinions in following items verification ?
1. Signal receiving ability great ?
3. PDA function convenient ? Pen writing response time ?
4. When Phone talking volume is clear and loud ?
I understand that you can't hook it up the phone in the U.S. I can't either, I was told by cingular that the phone is a overseas phone and it's not for the U.S. And I should called Motorola which I did 1-800-331-6456 And I was told by them also, they can't help me.
The cingular store where I brought it told me it can be set up.
So I'm going to called him again and see him next week, and I will let you know.
I just brought the phone.
me, I'm getting very frustrated with it.
I agree w/ Steve. The PIM still needs a lot of improvement. I used to be a Palm user and inputting data on either the computer or my palm and then sync afterward would not create problems. On A780, it's better to just copy data from the phone to the computer as syncing it will mess up my phone data sometimes.
I have just received my Motorola A780 and all outward appearnces are that it is a pretty fair phone. Aesthetically it looks good. Operationally it leaves some to be desired.
1) Mechanically the buttons for front panel dialing are stiff and somewhat unresponsive.
2) The Linux OS while more stable than Microsoft SP 2003 or Palm OS 5.4 still leaves a lot to be desired.
3) Being that this phone is touted as a business phone, my particular application, there are issues with the PIM that need resolving. I have over 800 contacts in my contacts database and typically sort by Company name. This PIM does not allow for it and is clearly tailored toward the personal user rather than a high cap business user. This needs to be cleaned up.
4) I would like to see a vibrate and ring mode rather than ring only or vibrate and then ring.
5) Touch screen response is rather sluggish even after repeated calibration.
In my opinion the people who designed this as a business phone were either under 18 or have never worked in a real world environmnet. This is clearly a multimedia phone and not designed as a business tool.
Lots of work to do here guys and I am hoping that there will be a firmware update post haste.
I picked up the A780 in Hong Kong as I can't seem to find it in the U.S.. I like it a lot but am puzzled that Motorola doesn't offer it or any accessories on the U.S. website.
Does anyone know if Apple's iSync works with this phone?
y the motorola official website still got no this fone??
What are the 14 contact fields? Anybody have success synchronizing with Outlook for Contacts, Tasks, and Calendar?
Anyone has the following problems?
If you input only one address in a contact in MPT computer side, then sync, whether you'e input the address as work or home it always show up as work address in A780. However, if you input two address (one business and one home), then they are sync correctly to A780.
When you click details when looking at a contact, the home address, city, state field...etc are inserted between work City field and work Country field?
City and States shows up reversed? Like it'll show "California, Los ngeles" instead of "Los Angeles, California"
Anyone is able to insert "-" within a phone # on A780? Like "444-444-4444" instead of "4444444444"
I was wondering if anyone knows when version 3.25 will be released concerning a fix to the catagories section of the phone book function?
anybody with email POP3 problems or solutions? I can't have the program to autenticate in my mail server that is a regular POP3 server in register.com.
Thank you for contacting BVRP Software USA regarding mobile PhoneTools.
The categories function does have a known issue.
It will be fixed in the 3.25 release that we are waiting for Motorola to finish testing and aprove for release.

A converted old house is the new home of Segari's, the restaurant that Sam Segari started in the '90s on Durham. The quirky little place in the Heights has nine tables that fill up quickly, and a third of the place is taken up by a well-stocked bar. Everyone seems to be a regular here. The menu has many seafood specials, all at market prices (maybe that's why no prices are listed on the menu). Everything served here is absolutely top-quality and as fresh as can be. Desserts here are listed first on the menu, 'cause that's the way Sam liked them. Their bread pudding with whiskey sauce is remarkable.

In order to deliver on this ambition, the Minister for Education and Skills and the Minister for Public Expenditure Reform agreed that a proposed increase in the National Training Fund should be considered in relation to the funding needs of both the higher education and further education and training sectors. The aims are to deliver a skilled and educated workforce to employers, to maintain and to strengthen the economy's growth potential and deliver benefits to society as a whole.
The Ministers launched a public consultation process on the proposal following a commitment to do so made as part of Budget 2017.

The Chamber's mandate is to promote the interests of business and community.
One of the ways we can do this is to influence government policy and decision-making in the areas of business, the economy, transportation, healthcare, education infrastructure, energy and agriculture. We also try to foster and develop relations between business and community and provide a conduit and voice for business.
One of the main ways to achieve this is to have a strong and active membership.

You can get in today for your initial counseling evaluation!
Monday 8:30 – 10:30 A.M. 2:30 – 4:30 P.M.
Thursday 8:30 – 10:30 A.M. 2:30 – 4:30 P.M.
Proof of insurance, a photo ID, custody/ guardianship documentation (if applicable), and previous mental health history paperwork.
Can I come to Same Day Access if I am a current Vera French client?
Sorry, no. Same Day Access is not for current Vera French clients receiving outpatient therapy. Current client appointments will go on as scheduled. Same Day Access is for an initial counseling evaluation for new clients or for previous Vera French clients who have not seen an outpatient therapist for one year or more.
Will I be able to get medication at this initial evaluation?
No, you will not see a prescriber for medication in this initial visit. You will meet with a therapist to complete an initial assessment and make recommendations for treatment.
I came to Same Day Access, but it was too crowded for me to see a therapist in the allotted time. Now what?
We have several designated staff available during Same Day Access times and have back-up staff if a high volume of persons are walking in on any day. We will do our best to accommodate as many persons as possible during Same Day Access times. If you are not able to be seen during the designated evaluation times that day due to unavailability of clinicians, the front desk will work with you to ensure an evaluation happens as quickly as possible.
How long does the Same Day Access process take?
The intake and evaluation process takes 1.5 hours to complete. We try to get everyone in with a therapist as quickly as possible, yet there may be times when you may have to wait for a period of time prior to seeing anyone. We ask that you come expecting to spend an average of 2.5 hours – sometimes it takes less time and sometimes more depending on how many persons come in to be seen that day.

Denver Nuggets' Michael Porter to have season-ending back surgery
Sources told ESPN, the Denver Post and The Athletic on Monday that Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. will undergo surgery on his lower back Wednesday, which could end his 2021-22 season. Porter's agent, Mark Bartelstein of Priority Sports, told ESPN and the Post that the forward will miss an "indefinite" period of time.
The No. 14 overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft, the 23-year-old Porter averaged 9.9 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.1 steals per game through nine appearances this season. He last played in a Nuggets win over the Houston Rockets on Nov. 6 in Denver. Porter averaged 19 points and 7.3 rebounds per game in 61 appearances in 2020-21. Porter also missed his entire rookie season due to a back injury.
Porter agreed to a five-year, $172 million rookie-scale max contract extension with the Nuggets in September. His salary jumps from $5.2 million this season to $29.7 million in 2022-23.

Georg von Alfthan, född 26 oktober 1828 i Viborg, död 4 februari 1896 i Helsingfors, var en finländsk ämbetsman.

Alfthan genomgick Finska kadettkåren och inträdde i rysk militärtjänst. Under kriget 1854–55 och senare var han anställd vid staben i Finland, och 1856–58 ledde han arbetena rörande militära rekognosceringar i landet samt utarbetade som resultat därav en avhandling på ryska, Materialier till Finlands statistik (utgiven 1859 av ryska generalstaben) och en väggkarta över Finland (1862). Hans stora kännedom om landet kom honom väl till pass under hans följande civila ämbetsmannabana. Han blev guvernör i Uleåborgs län 1863 och i Nylands län 1873, generallöjtnant 1879 samt chef för senatens jordbruksexpedition 1888 och för dess kommunikationsexpedition 1892. Han adlades 1866 (von Alfthan) och blev friherre 1886.

Alfthan var en av Finlands mest framstående länshövdingar under 1800-talet. För att lindra följderna av den stora missväxten 1867 vidtog han lämpliga och kraftiga åtgärder, och Uleåborgs län repade sig hastigt under hans ledning. Särskilt utövade han inflytande på kommunikationsväsendets förbättrande, både såsom guvernör, regeringsmedlem och lantdagsman; likaså arbetade han med iver för utvecklingen av den kommunala självstyrelsen och för folkbildningen. Inom regeringen intog han från början en framskjuten ställning, och han var medlem av flera av de rysk-finländska konferenser, som från år 1890 blev en allt vanligare företeelse.

Dragons on the Move was Froglife's travelling roadshow which offered people across Scotland a chance to experience nature and the outdoors. Roadshows took place in a variety of venues from community-owned forests, nature reserves, museums and swimming pools!
Froglife hosted both outdoor events (where attendees got involved in pond-dipping and reptile rummages) and indoor events (including amphibian craft exercises and Dragon Finder activities). In addition to these, Froglife hosted 'Swimming with Dragons' events in local swimming pools – allowing families to interactively learn about the diversity of life in ponds in a fun environment!
Froglife hosted over 70 Dragons on the Move events in total across Scotland with some of these events taking place at sites where the project has created / restored habitat. These days were accessible for all and engaged as wide an audience as possible. These days enthused people young and old to learn more about amphibians and reptiles and have fun in the process too! Froglife worked alongside a range of local organisations and charities to deliver innovative and engaging Dragons on the Move sessions.
The Scottish Dragon Finder team were been busy since spring of 2017 delivering the final year of our Dragons on the Move events – families and local people have enjoyed learning about our species, pond dipping and taking part in our Dragon Trail whilst we also had a special event at Gardening Scotland in Edinburgh where we sat on a gardeners question time panel and ran wildlife gardening workshops.
Our Dragons on the Move events have finished now, we've had some fantastic experiences bringing our stall to various locations across Scotland. If you missed us why not check out our video series below showing you how to re-create many of the crafts we have run at our events over the last few years.
If you missed our events you can still try out some of our crafts below!
In 2016 Froglife had a great day out at the University of Glasgow Vet Rodeo and hosted a Save the Frogs Day in April at the Highland Wildlife Park. Visiting children had a fantastic time learning about endangered frogs in the world and painted their own frog models to take home!
Children in Portree, Isle of Skye were also invited to come along to our Swimming with Dragons session this year which they really enjoyed! Children experienced life in a pond from the perspective of a tadpole and a newt in a swimming pool transformed into a pond setting – involving activities including the newt challenge and the frog lifecycle relay race!
Painting frogs on Save the Frogs Day!
Children at Blairadam creating pebble frogs!
Froglife was very busy with their Dragons on the Move sessions in their first years! We were all over Scotland delivering 42 indoor and outdoor sessions in 18 councils areas, engaging almost 4,000 people.
These are just some of the events Froglife have undertaken during the project. At all of which Froglife has provided information on reptiles and amphibians and advice on how local people can get involved in reptile and amphibian conservation to help these species in their local area.


Ten Days in the Valley's Det. Bird better start working overtime to find Lake, because ABC is pulling the struggling Sunday-night mystery from the schedule for a few weeks, then moving it to Saturdays to burn off the rest of the season— aka effectively cancelling it.
Series star and executive producer Kyra Sedgwick alerted viewers to the scheduling change Thursday.
Effective immediately, Shark Tank will air back-to-back episodes at 9/8c and 10 pm on Sundays through Nov. 12. The American Music Awards will air on Sunday, Nov. 19.
Ten Days will return at 9/8c on Saturday, Dec. 16, with back-to-back episodes. Single episodes will air at 10 pm on Dec. 23 and 30, and the season will wrap with a two-hour finale on Jan. 6 at 9 pm.
Are you bummed about Ten Days' fate? Hit the comments and let us know!

Q: DataTables in Codeigniter (display million rows of data) I created a DataTable in codeigniter and it's already working with small amount of data but I want to run the project with 1 Million rows of data. Unfortunately, it is not working with this huge amount of data.
What should I add/change in my code below?
I'm using codeigniter, oracle database and odbc driver
Thank you!

//JavaScript

//html

                ID
                First name
                Last name
                Address
                Email

 //controller

 public function get_User()
   {
      $draw = intval($this->input->get("draw"));
      $start = intval($this->input->get("start"));
      $length = intval($this->input->get("length"));

      $query =$this->db->query("SELECT * FROM users");

      $data = [];

      foreach($query->result() as $r) {
           $data[] = array(
                $r-ID
                $r-FirstName,
                $r-LastName,
                $r-Address,
            $r-Email,
                $r_tab[] = $r

           );
      }

      $result = array(
               "draw" => $draw,
                 "recordsTotal" => $query->num_rows(),
                 "recordsFiltered" => $query->num_rows(),
                 "data" => $data,
                  "data" =>  $r_tab

            );
      echo json_encode($result);
      exit();
    }

A: You are crashing your own server by attempting to load in memory a huge amount of data.
Check this server-side processing (5,000,000 rows) DataTable sample - unfortunately, this example does not use a real database connection to retrieve the data, but it is still informative.
In essence, you need to alter your AJAX request to include an offset and limit, values that need to be added to your query in order to retrieve from the database only the data to be displayed instead of the whole table.
Try this:

*

*Alter your AJAX call to look like this:

        scrollY: 200,
        "ajax": function ( data, callback, settings ) {
            url : "<?php echo base_url(); ?>Reports/get_User/" + data.start + "/" + data.length,
            type : 'GET'
        },

*Alter your controller like this (you may need to adjust your routes too):

// Be sure to validate that $offset and $limit are valid numeric values (integer, positive, limit does not exceed a certain value, etc)
public function get_User($offset, $limit)
{
    $limit = (int) $limit;
    $offset = (int) $offset;

    ...

    // Not sure about the "LIMIT" syntax for Oracle, please look it up
    $query =$this->db->query("SELECT * FROM users LIMIT $offset, $limit");

    ...

Note: These code snippets are not perfect (I have not worked with DataTable before) but they should help you get on the right track.


I gazed through my office window. Suddenly, there she was…a small bird busying herself. But what was she doing? Learning closer to the window pane, I watched as the little bird pecked and pulled at the ground. She appeared to be selecting some glades of grass, perhaps for a summer nest.
So, similar to little birds gathering material for a summer nest, I invite us all to live wide-awake lives this summer! Let's grab a notebook and breathe it all in!
Loved this idea so much that I started one this morning! Came in handy as I journaled through the hard places of Ruth Ayers: Enticing Hard to Reach Writers. Thanks for the tip!
That's great! Can't wait to read Ruth's book. Thanks for your comment!
Jennifer Serravallo is leading a free writing camp via Facebook and that has given me a kick start. Yay for summer notebooks!

WEC: Toyota Gazoo Racing claim superb one-two in FIA WEC Bapco 8 Hours of Bahrain
Posted by CircuitProDigital | Dec 15, 2019 | Bahrain, WEC - World Endurance Championship |
BIC, Sakhir – Toyota Gazoo Racing completed it triumphant return to Bahrain International Circuit (BIC) late Saturday night with a spectacular one-two finish in the inaugural FIA WEC Bapco 8 Hours of Bahrain.

An RV is a massive investment for most people. You can bet they're seriously price shopping and looking for any and every deal out there. Here are some tips and tricks that can help you close some deals and steal opportunities from your competition.
With leads coming at you from every direction, it's easy to let some slip through the cracks. You want to be able to really follow an inbound lead all the way through your sales cycle.
Form fills, email lists, phone calls, and site visits hopefully all equate to leads for you. In today's current digital world, customers can easily get their hands on any information they want.
With so much at their fingertips, it's important to take measures that hold their attention. There's a level of relationship building that needs to happen that is crucial to the sales cycle.
Sales efforts must be individually tailored to the customer. Potential customers need to be consistently attended-to you have to track with them if you want to have a chance at earning their business.
Segmenting a portion of your "Pay Per Click" (PPC) campaign into mobile only gives you the ability to target people at a micro level rather than taking a one size fits all PPC approach. Mobile devices have become extensions of people and play major roles in their day to day lives – so take advantage of that.
You can even go so far as to build mobile only PPC campaigns around specific devices. For example, if your research and data is telling you that your target demographic uses iPhones rather than Androids, you can and should build out specific mobile only PPC campaigns for iPhones only.
A mobile only PPC campaign is another important tool in your digital marketing tool box that you can use to communicate highly targeted content to potential customers.
Solid search engine optimization (SEO) is one of the fundamental foundations of digital marketing. As the competition for RV dealers is wildly stiff, you need to do everything you can to stand out.
One of the main purposes of SEO is to establish your authority in the space. You want to earn a reputation as an expert so potential customers are more likely to trust you when it comes to choosing the right RV for their family adventures.
There is a general excitement surrounding the RV purchase process that you can play into via content development. People want to be shown how awesome and life changing RV ownership can be.
Use content to showcase the potentials of their RV experience – help people imagine themselves camping in unique places, bonding and making lasting memories with their friends and families. SEO and content development is really all about increasing the amount of solid organic incoming traffic to your site.
You might not realize it, but your current customer list is a great jumping off point to help generate new business. Getting past customers back onto the lot to try and up sell them is not as difficult as you might think.
You already know the intent and willingness to buy is there. These customers are most likely interested in sizing up, trading into a new model, or decking out their current rig with new accessories.
Utilize your current customer data by building lookalike audiences through Facebook Ads Manager. By knowing email addresses, phone numbers, and physical addresses, it's quite easy to build a new audience that mirrors your old one.
It's an interesting exercise to really take a deep dive into your current customer data and identify the commonalities that are there so you can ultimately hone and refine your targeting techniques.
Geofencing is a method of hyper targeting based on someone's location. For example, you could implement geofencing around a rival dealership with the intention of serving your ads to people after they leave and try to entice them to visit your dealership.
You know the intention is there so why not take a shot and try to reel them in? Another option would be to geo target nearby campgrounds.
While someone might be camping in an RV they rented or in an old one that they own, they're most likely thinking about buying or are curious about what the RV market has to offer them.


As a young man Jan Tranås (62) set two goals in life: One was crossing the Baltic Sea in a Viking ship following the old trade routes along the Russian river systems to Istanbul. The second was to build a complete Iron Age farm at the historic site next to his home on the west side of the island of Jøa in Nord-Trøndelag.
The first goal was reached in August 1992: After having sailed down to the end of the Dnieper River and crossed the Black Sea, Viking ship 'Havørn' (English: Sea Eagle) arrived 'Miklagard', the Viking name for Istanbul.
After years of research, thousands of man hours and a lot of trial and error, the second goal is about to be reached: A 30-meter longhouse from the period 400-500 AD was completed in 2012 and now only an authentic weaving house and forge remains to fulfill the second goal.
– I am probably very stubborn, Jan Tranås admits, who is colloquially known as 'Iron-Jan'. Locals look at the steadfast builder with both admiration and wonder.
The former agronomist tells that he was taking early retirement to follow his dream of building the Iron Age farm, and that he has spent substantial capital to realize the project.
– Thanks to tremendous effort and the fact that we never gave up, we stayed within the budget of two million Norwegian kroner (About 323,000 dollars), including half a million in support from Innovation Norway, he says.
The remains of the original longhouse at Tranås is probably a pole building from the period 500-700 AD, but people have lived on Jøa as far back as the Stone Age. The fjord which led out to the Norwegian Sea gave abundant supply of fish and was also an important traffic artery.
The original longhouse was 55 meters long and eight meters wide, one of the longest found in Norway.
The construction project started in 2004, and Jan Tranås says that he had as objective that the project should be completed within ten years. In the work he got good help and support from the Dutch furniture maker Jan Witaar who had to teach himself wooden crafts from the Iron Age.
The cooperation between 'Iron-Jan' and 'Wood-Jan', as they are called, resulted in what is the only privately-built longhouse from the Iron Age.
– We were planning for one hour, and then we worked for one, says Jan.
They did not follow any exact template, because it does not exist, and based the building method on several trips to study ancient Scandinavian building traditions, advice from historians and their own experiences along the way.
All materials are produced locally to save costs and reduce transportation. There are used five types of wood and laid 45 square meters of stone in an almost insoluble puzzle. The so-called 'trestle-frame' construction method is used for building the longhouse, the oldest method known to man.
It was predicted much hardship and Jan Tranås says he was close to giving up, but that it was so important to him to preserve and disseminate the cultural landscape that he went on to the longhouse was completed.
– That is the main driving force – to disseminate the real Iron Age environment. Visitors say they find inner peace, enters a special mode, and that is what I want them to achieve.
The master tells that he receives visits from school groups and companies that hire the longhouse for various events, and that he can serve two variants of self-caught Iron Age food.
– One with fish and one with meat. I cannot guarantee that it is tasty, but it tastes authentic, says 'Iron-Jan' with a smile.

I agree with DD Sydral, I want to go live there.
What an awesome experience. I could so live there. ( as long as there were nuts and veges as I don't eat meat) What a great dream this man has had AND he followed it.


It puts South Africa firmly into a technical recession and again raises the spectre of a downgrade by credit ratings agency Moody's, which has yet to relegate the government's debt to junk status.
But Maarten Ackerman, wealth management firm Citadel's chief economist, said the disappointing numbers should not have come as a surprise to the market.
"Is it really a shock? We knew the economy was struggling and we had a very bad first quarter," he said.
Ratings agencies Standard & Poor's as well as Fitch have downgraded South Africa's debt to below investment grade. While Moody's rates South Africa's debt one notch above junk.
*This story previously erroneously stated that Moody's had downgraded South Africa's foreign denominated debt to sub-investment grade. This had been corrected and we regret the error.


The Italian coastguard has said some 5,000 migrants were on Thursday rescued in 43 operations across the Mediterranean Sea mostly from rubber dinghies.
Three wooden boats according to the coastguard, were being used by people traffickers in Libya.
One body was found aboard one of the vessels, authorities said.
A spokesman for the Italian coastguard said it appeared many people had left the Libyan coast hoping to cross the sea to Europe due to good weather.
"We registered a large number of voyages today, after several days of bad weather at sea had stopped people living Libya" AFP quoted the spokesman as saying.
Five Italian navy ships took part in the rescue operations, together with two vessels from the EU's anti-human smuggling Operation Sophia and four others from humanitarian organisations.
38-year-old Liberian national Musa Fafani was among a group of people rescued near the Libyan coast.
"I'm very happy because life, our situation in Africa is very difficult. For me, I was in Liberia because of Ebola crisis I lost all my family" he said.
According to the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, more than 56,000 people had reached Italy by sea between January and June 19 this year.
Over 2,800 migrants have also lost their lives in the Mediterranean within the similar period.
More than 10,000 people have died in the perilous crossings of the Mediterranean since 2014 according to the UNHCR.

Adalbert Stifter, Brigitta and other tales
Manesse Bibliothek der Weltliteratur, 1967
Stifter polarises - even though one might not think so, considering his seemingly romantic stories. But soon after his texts' publication, his audience divided. On one side, there were people like Thomas Mann, who found his style too moralising and too old-fashioned. Others like Friedrich Nietzsche however, were deeply impressed by his works and called him a literary icon. But what is it about Stifter's texts, which is either adored or abhorred?
For a start, his stories often revolve around an individual person and their struggle with fate. This is the case in most stories from "Brigitta und andere Erzählungen". Brigitta is and has always been a good person, but she constantly has to struggle due to her ugliness. Abdias has to cope with several misfortunes at once. He is robbed, his wife dies and his only daughter loses her eyesight. And the children in "Bergkristall", Konrad and Sanna, also have to face a difficult challenge. Right in the middle of a snow storm, they lose their way in the mountains. They are caught between two rival villages - with their mother being from one village and their father from the other. After visiting their grandparents, the children can no longer find the way home.
In many of Stifter's texts, Christian values and the good in people are praised. Adalbert Stifter (1805-1868) is considered a Biedermeier writer, whose depiction of rural idyll and moral is often seen as kitsch nowadays. Some of his stories might indeed seem rather conservative. Making sacrifices for others and a virtuous life are frequently at the centre of the story. But that is not enough of a reason to dismiss Stifter's texts.
After all, there is no other author who could capture the appeal and effect of nature quite like the Austrian Stifter could. He created something that was much bigger than the stories themselves, as he was a true master in describing landscapes. In his stories, nature impressions elaborately transition into the depiction of characters. As a result, the reader will not only experience a story but an entire world.
The description of the mountains in "Bergkristall" for instance, also turns into a depiction of the inner life of the scared children, who are lost in the cold winter on Christmas Eve. They are not only physically but also emotionally caught between the two rival villages. This isolation is reflected in the landscape.
Stifter thus creates atmospheres that transcend the stories. In his texts, everything seems connected. They have a magic spark that still has not faded, even a century after their first publication. On the contrary. Especially in our time, where we have become so disconnected with nature, it is all the more exciting to read these texts. They enable us to take a moment and sink into another world. His texts illustrate a deep love of nature and humanity. Instead of inventing fantastic worlds, he concentrates on what his readers know first-hand but might have forgotten over time. And it would be a hasty judgment to dismiss Stifter as melodramatic or kitsch, because it would ignore his true value. Or - to use Stifter's own words: "What would an artist be, if every fool could understand him right away?"

Summer Road Trip, Installment 1
With summer well underway, it's fitting that a nostalgic look back at the family road trip is the focus of a newly released book, Don't Make Me Pull Over. It's conveniently well-timed for our summer blog series on notable places to visit. "Notable" for us, I admit, in that each has a scaffolding-related story.
This summer series was inspired, at least in part, by a recent post by Avontus, a company dedicated to software development for the scaffolding and formwork industry. Their post, Scaffolding Estimates for Top Buildings Around the World, launched on an armchair tour of at least a FEW buildings around the world, beginning with the White House and the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.
It also seems like a convenient coincidence that a new multi-year renovation project on the Lincoln Memorial began this year. According to the Washington Post, it's a $25 million project that will repair damage caused by everything from anti-aircraft fire inflicted in 1942 to the 5.8M earthquake centered northwest of Richmond, VA in 2011. No question: scaffolding IS involved!
If the reality of this repair work were to encompass the entire Lincoln Memorial as pondered by Avontus, over 38,000 pieces of scaffolding weighing in at nearly 923,000 pounds would be called in to service. Given that this project is recognized as the "biggest overhaul of the building since the structure was dedicated 96 years ago", is it possible the scaffolding requirements will reach this magnitude?
Although the Lincoln Memorial was completed and dedicated in 1922, the story of its development goes back to 1867, two years after President Lincoln was assassinated. It was in 1867 that Congress established the Lincoln Monument Association, which was charged with the tasks of raising the money and developing plans for the Lincoln Memorial.
The wording of the Act of Congress incorporating the Lincoln Monument Association is quite inspiring. It conveys respect and admiration for President Lincoln that would be expected. Moreover, it reflects a certain fondness that seems, in this day and age, surprising for a Congressional document. Here's the opening text as the Act was written:
"The loyal people of the United States of all classes, without distinction as to raee or color, fteling an admiration and gratitude for the patriotism, services, and noble character of Abraham Lincoln* late President of the United Stiites, who fell a martyr to the cause of Liberty and Humanity, have for some time been desirous of expressing their appreciation of his noble services and sublime character in a manner worthy of the American name, and which would commemorate in the most fitting way the great charter of Emancipation and Liberty in our land. In order to make ejftectual such a desire, Congress passed a law, which was approved by the President, incorporating the *' National Lincoln Monument Association," whose duty it should be under a proper organization, with rules and regulations, to proceed to collect funds and make all necessary plans and arrangements to erect a suitable monument to that great and good man somewhere within the public grounds in the ( 'ity of Washington."
Quite a tribute, even before the memorial was built. Long before, in fact. It was 1901 before the site was selected for the Lincoln Memorial and another 10 years before funding in the amount of $2 million was released to begin construction.
And how much scaffolding did that $2 million budget buy?
Hard to say exactly, but this picture suggests that it wasn't as much as the Avontus post envisions for wrapping the entire monument in scaffolding. It also shows industrial wire rope at work at the construction site! But, our sister company will be telling its own tale this month of a virtual road trip to a historical site.
With a major phase of construction underway on the Lincoln Memorial, I have to confess, it is tempting indeed to load up the car and head off for Washington to see the project – and all the scaffolding involved – in person!

A person's "locus" (Latin for "place" or "location") is conceptualized as either internal (the person believes they can control their life) or external (meaning they believe their decisions and life are controlled by environmental factors which they cannot influence, or by chance or fate).
So, let's summarize this in simpler terms.
A person who thinks that they mostly control their own life has an "internal locus of control." People who think this way place the power of what happens in their life in their own hands. Their life is mostly shaped through the decisions that they make each day, for better or worse.
A person who thinks that they have little control over their own life and that other things they don't control, whether it's family or friends or society or the government or big corporations or their faith or anything else, actually have all of the power in their life has an "external locus of control." People who think this way tend to attribute both the good and the bad events in their life to forces outside of themselves. They view their lives as being shaped almost solely by powerful forces that they can't control.
A great example of the difference between the two comes from the Wikipedia article and from our school days: exams. Let's say that a person goes to class, takes an exam, and then sees the results from that exam.
A person with an internal locus of control will look at the results from that exam and attribute those results to themselves, for better or worse. They will look at factors like their own study habits, their own note-taking, their own time spent asking questions, and so on.
A person with an external locus of control will look at the results from that exam and attribute those results to things besides themselves, for better or worse. They will look at things like the difficulty of the exam, the difficulty of the teacher, the testing environment, and so on.
I believe that an internal locus of control is absolutely necessary to achieve significant financial and professional success in life. Failures and missteps are simply a part of life, and an external locus of control allows a person to always provide external reasons for failure or success, allowing that person to avoid having to take personally challenging steps to overcome those failures.
A person with an internal locus of control will look at career challenges and ask themselves what they can do to put their career on firmer ground. A person with an external locus of control will blame coworkers and bosses and overly challenging work for their difficulties and lack of progress.
A person with an internal locus of control will look at financial challenges and ask themselves what they can do to improve their financial state through better investing and spending choices. A person with an external locus of control will point to society for not paying an adequate wage, businesses for charging prices that are just too high, and so on.
A person with an internal locus of control will always look for ways to make challenging situations better in the future as a result of their own actions. A person with an external locus of control will instead look at others and conclude that those factors cannot be changed or helped.
Now, before we go any further, it is worth noting that an internal and an external locus of control aren't two separate states. They're more like a spectrum. A person doesn't just flip a switch and move from having an external locus of control to having an internal one. Instead, it's much more like a light dimmer or a thermostat, where people have some internal locus of control and some external locus of control.
In my opinion, every step a person can take toward an internal locus of control will have great outcomes for their life. An internal locus of control fuels things like self-improvement, saving for the future, taking control of your professional and personal life, and so on. Without those things going on in your life, you're going to keep repeating the same actions and getting the same results that you probably won't like.
So, how can a person develop an internal locus of control? How can you move that dial – one that's set somewhere in the middle between "internal" and "external" – a little bit closer to that internal end?
I've found that some of the things I naturally think about in my own life achieve that shift wonderfully. Here are six things I often think about during the day that slowly push me toward an internal locus of control. Let these things run through your mind as your day progresses – and in every day going forward.
Remember that you always have the ability to change your situation. There is no situation that you are in that you can't improve through your own personal action. Sure, it might seem hopeless at the moment, but there are better roads forward from here, no matter what the situation. You choose how much effort you put into recovering and improving your situation. You choose how much support and patience you give to others in your life that are struggling. You choose how much of your money you're going to save or how much effort you're going to put in at work. Those are choices you have control over.
Make a list of possible actions you can take in response to a difficult situation. Everyone faces serious challenges at some point in their life. Rather than looking at that challenge as an impenetrable wall, instead look for things you can to to handle this difficult situation. Can you reduce the impact of this situation? Can you find a path to recover more quickly from this situation? What are the things you can do to turn things in a more positive direction, even just a little?
Stop talking about yourself in a negative light, and when you catch yourself doing it, look instead at the things you've done well as well as the ways you can improve those negatives. Self-criticism can be a valuable thing, don't get me wrong. It can help you find flaws in yourself. However, self-criticism that isn't followed by steps to clear up those criticisms or to accentuate other positives instead isn't helpful in any way. When you find yourself being critical of your attributes, stop and ask yourself whether you can take steps to improve those attributes or, if not, if there are ways that you can accentuate other attributes of yourself that are better.
Stop focusing on things that you cannot control about a situation, and when you catch yourself doing it, think instead about the aspects of the situation that you can control. There are factors in every situation that you can't control. You can't control the personalities and responses of others. You can't control natural events or physical accidents. So stop worrying about those things, because you can't do much about them. Instead, look at what you can control – your responses to those situations, how you handle your emotions, and the daily choices you make. The better your responses and choices, the less impact those negative things you can't control will have.
Whenever you have a thought that begins with "I can't…" replace that with "I choose not to…" There are very few things in life that you truly cannot do, especially in the short term. Most of the things that you tell yourself that you "can't" do usually come down to things that you choose not to do, and by re-framing those things in that light, you can begin to see the excuses that you're making. By saying you choose not to do these things, you have to honestly face your excuses and put the power of the choice back onto you.
Talk with your friends about possible actions to take to fix things, rather than complaining about the unfairness of it all. What are your conversations with your friends like? Do you rail about the unfairness of life and how overwhelming forces are out to crush you and how your workplace is unfair? Or do you look at steps that you could take to make the situation better, no matter what the situation is? One of those two things is going to result in a better outcome for you.
The key to all of this is simple: whenever a challenge comes up in your life, whether it's saving for retirement or handling a financial emergency or something else, look first at what you can do to improve the situation. Don't waste your time looking at or blaming things you can't control. Look at what you can control and take action in those areas.

Today is the first Sunday of Advent, and in keeping with this our choice is O Come, O Come, Emmanuel. This version is sung by the choir of Clare College, Cambridge, at St Edmundsbury Cathedral in Suffolk.
O Come, O Come, Emmanuel is a Christian hymn for Advent and Christmas. It is a translation of a Latin hymn, Veni, veni, Emmanuel, first documented in 1710. The melody dates from 15th century France or even earlier. The words and the melody were first linked by Thomas Helmore in 1851 and the version which appeared in Hymns Ancient and Modern in 1861 is the most widely used in the English-speaking world.
A firm favourite at this time of the year.

The NI launches new edition of The Principles of Navigation
28 Mar 2019 Press Release
Safe navigation at sea is dependent on good training, sound practice and long experience – and no organisation is better placed to draw on those qualities than the UK's Royal Navy. The Nautical Institute is proud, therefore, to publish the 11th edition of The Admiralty Manual of Navigation, Volume 1: The Principles of Navigation.
This latest edition has been updated for the electronic era of navigation, so this edition is the first to be 'digital by design' and assumes that the reader's vessel will be navigated using an IMO type-approved ECDIS.
Nevertheless, the basic principles are the same as those of a century ago: ensuring the safe conduct of a ship across the oceans. In his Foreword to the 11th edition, First Sea Lord Admiral Sir Philip Jones KCB ADC DL points out: "the fundamental skills of the professional navigator remain unchanged, no matter the medium on which a fix is plotted".
The volume is encyclopaedic in its coverage, providing authoritative guidance on everything from map projections, geodesy, charts, and ocean and coastal navigation techniques to plane and spherical trigonometry. Navigation aids such as radar, GPS and echo-sounders are explained, and the book emphasises the need for the OOW or Navigating Officer to use all available information when navigating. Traditional techniques such as manual fixing and use of paper charts are not forgotten ‑ confidence in using them could be vital should satellite systems be unavailable.
The Principles of Navigation is therefore an indispensable reference that contains everything the 21st-century navigator needs in order to plan a passage from berth to berth. The guidance and techniques described are as applicable to ocean-going merchant ships as to naval vessels, and are conveyed in a clear and accessible style. The author, Alastair Harris, a third-generation submariner, was Navigating Officer on HMS Trafalgar and HMS Talent and more recently authored Volume 2 of The Admiralty Manual of Navigation: Astro-Navigation, the 11th edition of which was published by The Nautical Institute last year.
Concluding his Foreword, Adm Jones summed up:
The ability to conduct your ship from one place to another, arriving at the time and space specified, safely, remains the principal task of the navigator, and safety at sea is everyone's business. Yet all who live and work on the world's oceans know this is rarely straightforward. To assist mariners across the world in this vitally important task, the Royal Navy is pleased to share our centuries of accumulated experience, captured in these pages and published jointly with The Nautical Institute. I commend this publication to you all.
