The cluster of anxious/fearful personality disorder comprises of avoidant personality disorder, dependent personality disorder, and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder.
People with avoidant personality disorder (APD) shy away from other people because they are afraid of being criticized or embarrassed, or worry that they will appear foolish. They have a very low self-esteem and a strong fear of rejection. They are so sensitive to criticism that they often misinterpret innocent comments as negative or critical. They feel inadequate, which makes them inhibited in social situations. They believe that they are so unappealing that they think no one would want to know them or be friends with them.
People with APD usually tend to avoid relationships. Because they are so uncomfortable around people, they usually have very few or no close friends other than someone in their immediate family. They will usually refuse to be in a relationship unless they are sure that the other person will like and accept them. They are usually distant and restrained in romantic relationships because they are afraid of being made fun of or ashamed if they reveal too much about themselves. Avoidant personalities typically feel depressed and angry at themselves because of their social failure.
Dependent personality disorder (DPD) mainly characterizes dependence on others. They are fearful or incapable of making their own decisions. They doubt their ability to take care of themselves, which makes extremely submissive. They face a lot of difficulty in making day to day decisions and even expressing their own opinion.
People with DPD have an extreme fear of abandonment. They have an extreme need for support and care from others and because of that they are willing to compromise their own interests in order to avoid being alone. Because of being incapable of taking care of themselves, people with DPD will remain in unpleasant situations rather than live alone. Often they will find themselves trapped in emotionally and physically abusive relationships, because of the fear of being alone. They will even tolerate infidelity of their spouse, because they feel that if they will protest then their spouse will leave them. They are even willing to do unpleasant things in order to stay in relationship and not get abandoned.
The main features of obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD) are excessive preoccupation with orderliness, perfectionism, and control. Their perfectionism often prevents them from finishing projects, because they are never satisfied by their work. They are considered workaholics and rarely take vacations. However, their perfectionism leads them to a lot of trouble at work, which prevents them from making proper decisions. They often have problems prioritizing and end up missing deadlines. They tend to be very thrifty and thingy. They are also often highly deferential to authority and morals.
People with OCPD do not acknowledge others' opinions and always feel that everything must be done according to them. They are very critical of themselves and others. Friends and family members often find them rigid, stubborn, and difficult. They make challenging spouses because they are rarely spontaneous or able to relax. They might end up with a series of divorces and are often depressed and lonely.
It is very obvious that people with personality disorders have relationships that are not at all satisfying. Some are aloof and live like loners, some are extremely demanding and needy, while others can be very difficult and at times violent. Their tumultuous relationships further adds to their troubles and misery.
Personality disorders are highly generalized. It affects almost every aspect of the life of people with these disorders. They are also long standing and the behavior patterns associated with it are quite consistent.
This makes people with personality disorders not to see their conditions as a problem. They feel that this is the way that they are. When others have difficulties with them, they do not see it as their fault. They, in fact, feel that others' are not being able to understand them. This is why they feel that they do not need any kind of treatment.
Personality disorders are also accompanied by other problems, such as mood disorders and substance abuse, which are known as comorbid disorders. Due to this, people with personality disorders are, many a times, misdiagnosed.
It becomes very difficult to identify the main causes of distress of people with personality disorders. They are, usually, treated for problems that are lesser in degree and importance, while their main problems remain unresolved.
Interestin insights. I have often wondered something. I know a few people who have split personality disorders. They often say something very hurtful but later they swear they didn't. Is it because there are two of them? They do thing also that they deny vehemently they didn't do. They are so covincing that one ends up wondering if maybe they are actually right.
Or is it a vry clever act? It is so confusing for those around this person. can you throw some light on this?
Well, Dissociative Identity Disorder (the new name for split personality) actually does exist. People with dissociative identity disorder go through a lot of trauma during their childhood and growing up years and that's why they end up having different personalities (at times many). The other personality (or personalities) is developed within the unconscious mind of the person. And yes, one personality is not at all aware of the activities of the other. So, it's very true that an individual may not at all know what his/her other personality has said.
Usually, if there are two personalities then one is more dominant compared to the other.
Also, dissociative identity disorder is not a personality disorder. It is something that is very different and comes under dissociative disorders.
Well, even though you didn't cover it in your post, I was married to someone with Adult ADHD, and it was very hard to make things work.
Thanks for appreciating my article. I didn't mention about ADHD because it does not come under the category of personality disorders. Yes, unless you are an expert or you are someone who has had a lot of experience in dealing with people with psychological problems (including ADHD), it can become difficult to make things work out.
Im glad to invite you to submit your site to our web blog directory 5linkers.com , where you can promote your website. It's totally free.
Nice blog great job i like it.
I think that one of the better solutions on this matter is still counseling . There might be cases of misdiagnosis, but, talking this out to the professional is indeed a positive way to handle such.
Reading this article, you almost describe most people's fear of commitment, I mean even though not everyone has personality disorder, there are at least a lot of them who fear rejection very strongly.
Very intriguing topic. Though we'd never know for sure because the human psyche is vast and unmeasurable.
Rather than counseling, the term would be using the psychiatric interview. There are also specific psychological tests that help in proper diagnosis and screening out the comorbid disorders.
Yes you're right that people who do not have any disorder can also have a strong fear of rejection. But, in case of personality disorders this fear of rejection interferes with every aspect of their life, they can't function properly when it comes to day-to-day activities. This does not happen with people who don't have any disorder.
Well, its difficult but its not impossible. There are proper psychological techniques that do help in developing a better understanding.
Actually, for people who have personality disorders it becomes easier because they have a set pattern of behaviors in terms of relationships. This set pattern helps in making identification of relationship problems easier compared to individuals who don't have a disorder.

A software design often has aspects that apply across several classes, functions, or methods. We might have a technical aspect, examples include logging, auditing, or security, that must be implemented consistently. The general method for reuse of functionality in object-oriented programming is inheritance through a class hierarchy. However, inheritance doesn't always work out well. Some aspects of a software design are orthogonal to the class hierarchy. These are sometimes called "cross-cutting concerns". They cut across the classes, making design more complex.

Miguel Ángel Benítez Pavón (born 19 May 1970), also known as Peque Benítez, is a Paraguayan retired footballer who played as a forward.

He is best known for his spell with Spain's Espanyol, where he played for seven years. Altogether he spent one full decade in that country, representing three other teams and appearing in more than 200 official games overall.

A Paraguayan international in the late 1990s, Benítez represented the nation at the 1998 World Cup.

Club career
Benítez was born in Santísima Trinidad (Asunción). After playing for modest clubs in his country he arrived in Spain at the age of 23, purchased by Atlético Madrid, but appeared very rarely for the Colchoneros, being often demoted to its reserves and also being loaned twice, notably to CP Mérida which he helped promote from the second division by scoring a team-best ten goals in only five months.

Released by Atlético in the 1995 summer, Benítez signed with fellow La Liga side RCD Espanyol, going on to experience his best years: alternating between the starting XI and the bench, he amassed 166 competitive appearances for the Catalans, helping them to the 2000 conquest of the Copa del Rey.

Already in his 30s and dealing with some injuries, Benítez left Espanyol in January 2002, returning to his country and signing with Asunción's Club Olimpia. In his first year with Olimpia he helped the team to win Copa Libertadores, and the following season he won Recopa Sudamericana. In the years until his retirement he appeared for several clubs, and also returned to Spain, playing with UD Almería in the second level.

Benítez started his coaching career in 2008, taking charge of lowly Club Silvio Pettirossi as it was experiencing its first season in the Primera División – short-lived, as the side dropped down two tiers in as many years.

International career
Courtesy of his solid Espanyol performances, Benítez gained all of his 30 caps for the Paraguay national team. He was selected for the 1998 FIFA World Cup, playing in all four matches as the country reached the round-of-16 and netting in the 3–1 group stage win over Nigeria.

Benítez was also selected for the 1999 Copa América, played on home soil, scoring three times: this included one in Paraguay's 1–1 quarter-final clash against Uruguay, where he also missed the decisive penalty shootout attempt.

Q: Number of connections exceeding instance count * maxpool We host a website on Microsoft Azure and we have Traffic Manager distributing traffic on two AppServices each with 15 instances and a maxpool size of 80 in the connection strings.
We also use P11 database which has a max connection count of 2400
From our understanding, the maximum possible connections would be:

Instance count * maxpool
  30 * 80 = 2400

But we get errors regarding exceeding the maximum allowed number and to our surprise, running a query on the database to show us active connections yields 2600.
We don't have any webjobs running.
Can someone please explain what is happening?

A: Using the following query you can identity which program name have the most sessions, which login name creates the most sessions, which host creates the most sessions.
SELECT
    c.session_id, c.net_transport, c.encrypt_option,
    c.auth_scheme, s.host_name, s.program_name,
    s.client_interface_name, s.login_name, s.nt_domain,
    s.nt_user_name, s.original_login_name, c.connect_time,
    s.login_time
FROM sys.dm_exec_connections AS c
JOIN sys.dm_exec_sessions AS s
    ON c.session_id = s.session_id

The following statement shows you the maximum number of connections for the current tier.
SELECT @@MAX_CONNECTIONS AS 'Max Connections';

Hope this helps.

Just when you thought the networks were capable of serving up riveting, appointment viewing with the likes of ABC's just-finished American Crime, the tried-and-true dramatic formulas return to remind us where the money is, and where the networks' hearts really are.
NBC's Aquarius, in a two-hour premiere Thursday night at 9 p.m., ET, is the latest example of a retread recipe – forgettable fictional characters wrapped up in an historical event, dialogue meant for those listening while folding laundry, and ready-mix reveals before commercial breaks. Stir, repeat, voilà – summer network series.
And if hitting all the right middle notes isn't enough, Aquarius, steeped in '60s costumes and flower power, presumes that if we loved Mad Men, then we will surely go for similar period styling, but this time with a plot centered around psychopathic puppet master Charles Manson as the lead character.
Mad Men was a journey of novel-deep characters who, within their own stories, reacted to historical events around them, and yes, enjoyed romping through the visual spirit of their times. Aquarius (at least in the two premiere episodes reviewed here) gets that exactly backwards, with lots of bell-bottoms, doobies and trippy hits of the '60s but little else — and certainly without cultural insight or a story to care about, which made Matthew Weiner's series a must-see each season.
Aquarius, while sometimes pretty to look at, is all glitz, no substance and has characters describing events and spelling it all out for us. The tepid plot follows a world-weary detective (a game David Duchovny, top, sporting his best Joe Friday brush cut) trying to find and rescue the daughter of an old girlfriend conscripted into the Manson Family. Manson (Gethin Anthony) is upfront in the story of the girl's flight from her somewhat dysfunctional home as is Manson's fictionally imagined (and preposterous) involvement with players at the highest level of Los Angeles power and politics.
Never mind that the best Manson ever achieved was sponging off late Beach Boys drummer Dennis Wilson for a short stint, and also gaining mild interest from a few second-tier Los Angeles record producers. Otherwise, he was a career thief, con man, and pimp. Here, he's a Batman-level arch-enemy, extorting the well-heeled lawyer who is also the runaway's father, out-foxing the police — and most laughably — pimping out his young prostitutes to cops and upper tier goons on the mayor's staff.
Duchovny's LA detective Sam Hodiak impassively winds his way though a menagerie of cardboard thin characters — hippies, bikers, corrupt politicians — while on the hunt for the sixteen year-old gone girl Emma (Emma Dumont, right, as a waifish, "Squeaky" Fromme doppelgänger) who joins the Manson Family because Daddy is too strict about curfew.
Manson is an unsettling, regrettable figure and an unfortunate choice for a dramatic series. He was (and likely remains, still incarcerated, now 80) a shaggy, beady-eyed psychopath who spoke in riddles in order to manipulate the susceptible to do his bidding. He got his dim-witted minions to stage murders with clues left behind in order to ignite the cockeyed apocalyptic race war he envisioned — the "Helter Skelter" phrase he stole from The Beatles — upending a society he felt had it coming.
The Manson depiction in Aquarius is reverse, with Anthony's television pretty looks (below) about as menacing as a scheming real estate broker on The Young and the Restless, sleepwalking through a bunch of watered-down crypto-monologues to go along.
The late Tom Snyder and Charlie Rose each interviewed Manson on camera back in the '80s, and he freely espoused his delusional nonsense during both interviews.
It doesn't seem like a Hollywood dramatization can add anything more powerful to those works, especially one that veers so laughably off the record.
Isn't the real thing chilling enough?
In the spirit of our times, like Netflix and Amazon, NBC is putting the entire 13-episode run of Aquarius online after Thursday's premiere, so if you have the interest, you'll be able to binge watch the whole thing.
Presumably, the script featuring the travails and exploits of Charles Whitman, the sniper who mass murdered 16 people in 1966 from a University of Texas bell tower, wasn't ready yet.

Q: html and dom button sequence creation I'm trying to figure out how to use buttons to create new buttons that show up in front of the button that was selected. There are three buttons and an "insert" button. I want to be able to click button 1, then insert and have a new button appear before it. The same thing to occur for buttons 2 and 3.
I've noticed that with my code clicking the buttons automatically creates a new button at cell 0 in the table. I don't want the buttons to actually do anything but accept user input that can be used by the 'insert' button to place them there.
Please help, I'm stuck.
The code I have so far is:

<title>Button Sequence Creation</title>

    <input type="button" value="button1" name ="button1" onclick="displayResult()">

A: not sure how you would like the 'insert' button to function.  But the code below works.

Massive 'Mad Men' exhibit to be on display at Museum of Moving Image
Feb. 19, 2015 By Michael Florio
To mark the final season of Mad Men, the Museum of Moving image is bringing a piece of 1950s Madison Ave. to Queens.
The Museum of Moving Image (36-01 35th Ave) will be launching a Mad Men exhibit on March 14 that will include large-scale sets, costumes, props and video clips of the show.
"Mad Men is much more than a popular television series," said Barbara Miller, the Museum's Curator of the Collection and Exhibitions. "It has become a cultural touchstone inspiring a renewed interest in a critical time in the country's history."
Draper's kitchen
The exhibit will feature large scale sets of main character Don Draper's office and kitchen. It will have over 25 iconic costumes, including Don Draper's suit, Joan Holloway's red dress from a holiday party and Megan Draper's "Zou Bisou Bisou" dress.
Key props from the series will be on display, including Don Draper's box with objects that reveal his true identity.
Matthew Weiner, the show's creator, writer and executive producer, will be at the museum on March 20, to discuss the creation and production of the show.
The exhibit will also give fans the opportunity to go behind the scenes, featuring key elements of the writers' room where Weiner and his team crafted story ideas and scripts for the series. There will be index cards and white boards with story notes from the first episodes of season seven.
Along with Weiner's story notes, there will be a section of work that influenced his writing, such as a selection from his personal book collection.
There will also be screenings of Weiner's earlier work, called Required Viewing: Mad Men's Movie Influences, which feature ten-films curated by Weiner. The Required Viewing films will be screened from March 14 to April 26.
The entire exhibit runs from March 14 through June 14.
Tickets: $25 public

MILES AIRCRAFT LTD AND ITS M.57 AEROVAN
THE BRITISH Miles Aircraft Ltd was a family business, and what a family it was: See http://wp.me/p2ETap-24M.
Blossom: A Biography of Mrs F.G. Miles, by Jean M. Fosterkew, Cirrus Associates, 1998. On the left, F.G. and Blossom Miles; on the right, Hugh Brooks and Charles Powls, Poole & Powls business associates.
The varied talents of F.G. Miles, his wife Blossom and his brother George produced civil and military craft, from the 1932 M.1 Satyr through the 1957 M.105 (also known as the HDM.105, as in Hurel-Dubois Miles, of which more anon).
Their 1932 M.1 Satyr was a one-off, but 55 examples of the M.2 Hawk left the company's Woodley, Berkshire, works in 1933, followed by 64 M.2F-T Hawk Majors in 1934.
Blossom paints a Hawk image on the fuselage of a Miles M.2 Hawk. Her sister, actress Jean Forbes-Robertson, holds the real model. Image from Blossom.
Miles Aircraft introduced its M.14 Magister basic military trainer in 1937; eventually 1293 of these were produced.
The M.25 Martinet target tug's production ran to 1724 aircraft (Miles' most numerous design) during World War II.
Miles M.25 Martinet TT MkI target tug. The fuselage fitting could hold a horizontally mounted four-blade prop powering the tow hardware.
My favorite Miles, the M.57 Aerovan, appeared almost at the end of WWII. The Aerovan had a boxy fuselage capable of carrying 10 passengers or, through its swinging rear hatch, accommodating an automobile.
My Miles M.57 Aerovan 1, modeled for Microsoft Flight Simulator, carries a Cooper Formula 3 car in Rob Walker livery.
The M.57 was constructed of plastic-bonded plywood with some spruce and metal components. Power came from twin 148-hp Blackburn Cirrus Major inline-4s inverted in high-wing nacelles.
Later M.57s replaced the rectangular windows with round ones. Image by RuthAS.
Aerovans were used as light commercial transports in more than a dozen countries; they served as well in the air forces of Israel and New Zealand. One fitment offered was an emergency operating theater, the idea being to bring the doctor and nurse to the patient rather than vice versa. See the aircraft's writeup in Flight magazine, June 7, 1945 (http://goo.gl/8KHSxI).
Don't try this at home, kids; we're professionals. My M.57 is having fun with Edward Cook's Miles M.77 Sparrrowjet, an F.G. one-off.
F.G. got the firm involved in more than aircraft design. One of its secret wartime activities involved ball-point pens. (Aircrews found ball-points better than fountain pens at altitude; mariners preferred them in wet weather.)
László József Biró, 1899 – 1985, inventor of the ball-point pen, or biro as it's known in many countries.
The concept's inventor, Hungarian László József Biró, licensed F.G. Miles to aid in the pen's development. Students at the Miles Aeronautical School were given these pens for trial use. Frenchman Marcel Bich bought the patent from Biró in 1945; he co-founded Bic.
The Photographic Department of Miles Aircraft also developed the Copycat, a photostatic copying machine. F.G. much preferred the device in lieu of carbon paper. However, in 1946 the American company Haloid beat the rest of the world in commercializing the photocopier. (It became Haloid Xerox in 1958 and Xerox in 1961.)
Caught up in Britain's post-war economic doldrums, Miles Aircraft Ltd went into receivership in 1947. However, F.G. didn't go quietly. A new firm, F.G. Miles Ltd, spun off a group of subsidiary companies, among them Meridian Airmaps Ltd, Miles Marine & Structural Plastics Ltd, Jet Tanks Ltd and Miles Electronics Ltd, this last one manufacturing flight simulators and eventually merging with the British arm of the Link Trainer company.
HDM.105, an M.57 fitted with a Hurel ultra-high-aspect-ratio wing. Image from Flight magazine, April 19, 1957.
In a concluding bit of Aerovan lore, one of the M.57s was converted into the HDM.105, a joint venture between Miles and the French company Societe des Avions Hurel-Dubois. The latter company exploited Maurice Hurel's wing designs of extremely high aspect ratio; that is, chord being dramatically small for a given wing span.
In 1958, Miles sold the design to the Shorts Bros, another British aircraft manufacturer, which developed it into its own SC.7 Skyvan.
A Shorts SC.7 Skyvan, one of 153 produced between 1963 and 1986.
Imitation, they say, is the most sincere form of flattery. ds

Miles was such an incredibly creative company!
Encyclopedia books on Miles Aircraft have been now published by Air-Britain. There are also two books out now on the Miles M.52, which would most likely have beaten the Bell X-1 in going supersonic. A great, but sad, story…
Peter Amos
Miles Aircraft Ltd did NOT go bankrupt – they went into Receivership – long and miserable story. For details see the third volues of my book – Miles Aircraft – The Post War Years.
Miles Aircraft Historian
Thanks for this distinction between receivership and bankruptcy. As you see above, a few deleted words likely brings matters right.
By the way, the Miles M.57 is one of my favorite aircraft.

It's only an exhibition, but it will have to do.
Roger Federer, 36, will play in Northern California for the first time when he faces ninth-ranked Jack Sock of Kansas City, Kan., on March 5 at 7 p.m. at the SAP Center in San Jose.
Federer also will play doubles with Bill Gates against Sock and "Today" hostess Savannah Guthrie.
The exhibition will benefit Federer's foundation, which provides access to education for children in southern African countries. Federer's mother, Lynette, is South African. Last year's exhibition in Seattle between Federer and John Isner raised $2 million.
After appearing in San Jose, Federer and Sock will play in the BNP Paribas Open, the highest-level tournament after the Grand Slams, at Indian Wells, Calif. Men's qualifying in the two-week event begins March 6, and first-round matches start March 8.
As seeds at Indian Wells, Federer and Sock will receive first-round byes and open on March 10 or 11. Federer has won the singles title five times, tying Novak Djokovic for the record, and Sock won the doubles title with Vasek Pospisil of Canada in 2015.
Federer never played in the SAP Open, the San Jose stop on the ATP World Tour that ended with Milos Raonic's third consecutive title in 2013. Federer has not been to San Francisco, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. His only trip to the Bay Area was a one-day visit to Google.
Tickets to the exhibition, starting at $30, can be purchased beginning Friday at 9 a.m. at the SAP Center box office, ticketmaster.com or (800) 745-3000.
Also, a limited number of VIP ticket packages, including a question-and-answer session with Federer and Sock before the matches, are available.

Con il termine ferrovia ad aderenza naturale  si intendono tutte quelle ferrovie in cui i treni viaggiano su rotaie sfruttando unicamente la forza di gravità e l'aderire del treno sui binari, senza bisogno di ganci che obbligano l'adesione del treno alle rotaie (ferrovia a cremagliera).

Questo è possibile unicamente quando la pendenza del tracciato consente di utilizzare lo sforzo di trazione della locomotiva per superare la reazione opposta dalle rotaie con la sola aderenza tra le superficie della rotaia e della ruota. Oltre un certo limite di pendenza occorre ricorrere alla trasmissione con ruota dentata applicata al motore.

Santa Clara, California—On Monday, Nov. 9, at 2 p.m., Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) Staff Attorney Kit Walsh will participate in a roundtable discussion about U.S. copyright laws convened by the House Judiciary Committee, which is undertaking the first comprehensive review of the nation's copyright laws since the 1960s.
Copyright was intended to promote creativity, but the law has not developed to support the explosion of creativity enabled by new technologies. Too often, copyright is instead being abused to shut down innovation, creative expression, and even everyday activities like tinkering with your car. At the roundtable discussion being held at Santa Clara University on Monday, Walsh will speak about reforming Section 1201 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), an overbroad law that locks device owners out of their software and media. Walsh will also discuss the need to reduce the exorbitant "statutory damages" available to copyright claimants—even when rightsholders suffered no harm—so that users of copyrighted works do not face a financial death sentence if they misstep in exercising their rights to remix and tinker. Finally, she will discuss how Congress can ensure that one-sided click-through agreements don't strip users of their freedoms under copyright law or the right to resell things they've purchased.
Monday's roundtable discussion is the latest in a series of hearings and talks, hosted by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, and joined by creators, innovators, technology professionals, and users of copyrighted works. Goodlatte announced in 2013 that the committee would conduct a review of U.S. copyright laws to determine whether they are still working in the digital age to reward creativity and innovation.

A novel method is disclosed here for boosting the immune response, useful not only for the treatment of microbial and chronic viral infections, but also for activating the immune system against cancer cells. TLR-4 is a central player in the innate immune system as it specifically recognizes lipopolysaccharide (LPS), the major cell wall component of Gram-negative bacteria, and activates the immune system. Newly developed peptides derived from the N-terminus of a TLR-4 trans-membrane domain are capable of activating TLR-4 mediated immune response, thus useful both as stand-alone treatments and as vaccine adjuvants, increasing the immunogenicity of an antigen in a vaccine.
The technology is based on the discovery that peptides derived from the N-terminus of a TLR-4 TM domain or their analogues are capable of activating TLR-4 mediated immune response. These peptides activate TLR-4 receptor, possibly by dimerizing within the cell membrane and stabilizing the TLR-4 dimer. Through TLR-4 activation, these peptides activate macrophages to secrete TNF-alpha, thereby stimulating the immune system. In addition, the ability of these peptides to modulate the immune system's innate response renders them useful as vaccine adjuvants, increasing the immunogenicity of an antigen in a vaccine.
Taken together, the newly developed peptides are useful for the treatment and prevention of a large variety of infections, such as microbial (e.g. Salmonella, Escherichia, Pseudomonas), viral (including HIV, Hepatitis and Influenza) and fungal infections. Further, they are useful in the treatment and prevention of a wide variety of cancers.
