CARILLON CONTEST QUEEN FABIOLA 2003
MECHELEN - The 5th International Queen Fabiola Carillon Contest took place on the carillon of the Saint Rombolds tower in Mechelen from September 3rd to 7th, 2003. Carillonneurs from all over the world were invited to participate. Since its foundation in 1922, the Royal Carillon School "Jef Denyn" in Mechelen has been involved in the support and development of the art of carillon playing. As part of this effort, the school organises this International Contest every few years in cooperation with the City of Mechelen.
All contestants performed on the new carillon of the Saint Rombolds tower, cast by Royal Eijsbouts in 1981. The carillon comprises of 49 bells from B-flat0 – c1 – d1 – chrom. – c5 (c1 sounds like g0). Candidates were given the opportunity to practise on this instrument as well as on the practice keyboards in the carillon school.
Although playing the Saint Rombolds carillon requires considerable effort, the instrument offers the carillonneur a broad range of dynamics. The sound of the bells may vary from barely audible to a mighty thundering - magical music from an impressive tower instrument clearly heard all over the centre of the city.
Candidates were asked to submit nine compositions of a high degree of virtuosity:
Three baroque or classicist works, one of them being a prelude by Matthias Vanden Gheyn
Three romantic works originally composed for carillon
Three contemporary works, also orginally composed for carillon
These scores were not allowed to show any reference by which the name or nationality of the participant could be deduced. The obligatory work, We Ring, We Chime, We Toll composed by Geert D'hollander, was to be performed at the selection test as well as in the finale.
SELECTION TESTS
The selection tests took place on Wednesday 3 and Thursday 4 September 2003. For this all candidates were asked to perform the obligatory work, one work chosen by the candidate and one work selected by the jury from the candidate's repertoire.
No less than 12 carillonneurs from 6 countries competed on the carillon of the majestic St. Rombolds tower: Twan Bearda, Roy Kroezen, Henk Veldman (The Netherlands), Stephanie Bruggeman, Sofie Heremans, Liesbeth Janssens (Belgium), Jeremy Chesman (USA), Charles Dairay (France), Ana Lucia Elias (Portugal), and Sergej Gratchev, Marina Nevskaya, Elina Sadina (Russia).
The order of performing was assigned by lot and the identity of contestants was not known to the members of the jury. Only the five competitors who received the highest marks went on to the final.
The final took place on Saturday 6 and Sunday 7 September 2003 at 19.30. The arrangement differed from previous contests in that there were five instead of six finalists. All candidates performed on Saturday as well as on Sunday, while in previous contests two finalists played on Friday, Saturday and Sunday respectively.
The five candidates participating in the finals were judged by Jo Haazen (Belgium - President), Geert Bierling (The Netherlands), Jan De Maeyer (Belgium), Timothy Hurd (Australia), Karel Moens (Belgium), Anna Maria Reverté (Spain), and Andreas Schmid (Germany).
On the Saturday the finalists were asked to perform three compositions chosen by the jury: one baroque or classical work, one romantic work and one contemporary work. On the Sunday, each finalist performed the obligatory work as the contemporary composition, a baroque or classical work chosen by the jury and a romantic composition also chosen by the jury.
The performances were enjoyed by a few hundred people seated in the garden of the Cultural Centre of Mechelen. The garden offered a quiet listening place and a beautiful view of the tower, having even more atmosphere when the tower became splendidly iluminated the moment dusk fell and the evening grew dark. A neatly edited program book provided the public with information about the contestants and the pieces to be played. On Sunday, Her Royal Highness Queen Fabiola was among the audience. After the presentation of the prizes she spoke with all candidates personally.
The compulsory work written by Geert D'hollander appeared to be a well-composed single-movement composition of about 3 minutes duration; a piece with many variations in dynamics, not only interesting for a carillonneur, but also pleasant for the audience. As always, each one of the contestants had his or her own interpretation.
The prize-giving ceremony was directed by Jo Haazen. Queen Fabiola presented the first prize of EUR 3,000 - that of the Flemish Minister of Culture - to Twan Bearda from The Netherlands. In addition to the compulsory composition, Twan Bearda performed during the finals: Toccata and Fugue in d (Johann Sebastian Bach), Allegro assai from Symphony No. 39 (Joseph Haydn), Toccata, lied en fuga op "Daar staat een klooster in Oostenrijk" (Staf Nees), Ballade (Jef Rottiers) and Diptiek voor beiaard (Arthur Meulemans).
Second laureate was Ana Lucia Elias from Portugal. She received the prize of EUR 2,000 of the Province of Antwerp. The pieces performed by Ana Lucia Elias were: Passacaglia, Koraal en Fuga (Benoït J. Franssen), Reflexies (Jacques Maassen), Koekoekspreludium (Matthias Vanden Gheyn), Ballade (Jef Rottiers), and Preludium No. 3 (Matthias Vanden Gheyn).
Liesbeth Janssens from Belgium was awarded the third prize of EUR 1,500, presented by the city of Mechelen and the "Gidsenbond Mechelen". Liesbeth Janssens played on the St. Rombolds carillon the compositions: Toccata, lied en fuga op "Daar staat een klooster in Oostenrijk" (Staf Nees), Preludium No. 6 (Matthias Vanden Gheyn), Sonata a cembalo solo (Sybrandus van Noordt), Fantasie op thema's van de Byzantynse ritus (Gaston Feremans) and Battery for Bells (Raymond Schroyens).
Winner of the fourth prize of EUR 1,000 - that of the town of Roeselare - was Charles Dairay from France. On Saturday and Sunday he played: Preludium No. 3 (Matthias Vanden Gheyn), Passacaglia, Koraal en Fuga (Benoït J. Franssen), Giocoso Frescamente (Boudewijn Zwart), Fantasie in d (Wolfgang A. Mozart) and Impromptu (Ferdinand Timmermans).
Fifth laureate was Henk Veldman from The Netherlands. He received EUR 750, a prize sponsored by the Royal Carillon School "Jef Denyn" and Mr. Aloïs Jans, Honorary President of the "Oudheidkundige Kring Mechelen". Henk Veldman was asked to play for the jury and the public: Chaconne from Partita No. 2 for violin (Johann Sebastian Bach), Toccata, lied en fuga op "Daar staat een klooster in Oostenrijk" (Staf Nees), Passacaglia (Jos. Lerinckx), Preludium No. 10 (Matthias Vanden Gheyn) and Dithyrambe, branle en double over "Die Mey spruut uut den dorren hout" (Werner Van Cleemput).
The results of the contest were toasted during a reception in the Cultural Centre for invited guests. The weather during the finals was fine and did not cause any problems, except for one thunder shower on Saturday evening that lasted for about ten minutes.
Winners of previous Queen Fabiola contests were: Geert D'hollander (1987), Boudewijn Zwart (1990), Gideon Bodden (1993) and Tom Van Peer (1998).

Breyana Persaud Death Cause And Reason, How Did He Die? What Happened To Tik Tok Star Breyana Persaud?

Many are sharing their condolences via social media and the news of her death has been confirmed by closest acquaintances.
Breyana Persaud Death Cause
There aren't a lot of details about her relationship and life, but her wedding photos are posted on several social media websites and there's no information about her husband. Also, there is no information regarding her income as well as family information. Her popularity was rapidly growing in America and she also had an amazing connection with India. The world is now acknowledging her passing in the United States too, and feeling terrible for her family of her.
She was a musician and was keen to get into music playing various instruments. She would like to explore the entertainment industry, such as an actress to shoot photos. She always looked stunning and was well-versed in fashion. She was also extremely reliable in regard to the most popular stories. She was a candidate for journalist last year, and the results didn't come through. The reason for her death is not yet known, and it's unclear if she may have been the culprit in the mystery. obscure as well as her remains were taken to a forensic lab for examination.
We are hoping for the best that will be revealed and the truth will be revealed before our eyes. She was extremely religious and regularly attended the church regularly for prayers. it is possible to say that she was lucky. the news was very devastating for her family. She did not take any form of medication or therapy which is truly strange. She was living an extravagant life, without any one, and even making videos to please her fans. Everyone was stunned when the news came through.
Her fans had been entertained for quite a long period of time before she joined online media in the year of 2015. Family members were on Facebook and she was a popular celeb on the platform, and regularly uploaded photos. Her personality was full of enthusiasm and was extremely joyful. Smiled throughout all of our videos, and it was a heartbreaking tale.

Kept the pace around 10:00/mile…maybe crept up a little faster, but started and finished as a group.
Great conversation the whole time.
During CoT and WoW I mentioned the book I'm reading "Factfulness" by Hans Rosling. Great read so far. If you've never seen one of his TED talks, I highly recommend them.

that same bash error is shown even if double quotes is used
So how do i reach that folder using the alias command ?
~$ cd "$Any_Name"

Also does not seem to work

A: It is ...
cd "$Any_Name"

Environment variables need to be evaluated.
And also ...
 alias Any_Name="/home/User/Desktop/Folder\ Name"

By the way ...

XLVIII Dhritarashtra said, When that great bowman Sweta proceeded towards Salya's car, what did the Kauravas and the Pandavas do, O Sanjaya? And what also did Bhishma the son of Santanu do? Tell me who ask thee, all this Sanjaya said, O king, hundreds and thousands of bulls among Kshatriyas, all brave and mighty car-warriors, placing the generalissimo Sweta in the van, and displaying their strength. O Bharata, unto thy royal son and with Sikhandin also at their head, desired to rescue Sweta. And those mighty car-warriors rushed towards Bhishma's car decked with gold desirous of slaying that foremost of warriors. And the battle that ensued then was terrible. I shall describe to thee that wonderful and terrific battle as it occurred between thy troops and those of the enemy.
The son of Santanu made the terraces of many cars empty, for that best of car-warriors showering his arrows, cut off many heads. Endued with energy equal to that of the Sun himself, he shrouded the very Sun with his arrows. And he removed his enemies from around him in that combat like the rising Sun dispelling the darkness around. And in that battle, O king, arrows were shot by him in hundreds and thousands that were powerful and possessed of great impetuosity and that took in that conflict the lives of numberless Kshatriyas. And in that combat he felled heads, by hundreds, of heroic warriors, O king, and elephants cased in thorny mail, like summits of mountains felled by heaven's bolt. And cars, O king, were seen to mingle with cars. A car might be seen upon another car, and a steed upon another steed. And impetuous chargers, O king, bore hither and thither heroic riders in the prime of youth, slain and hanging from their saddles with their bows still in their grasp With swords and quivers attached to their persons and coats of mail loosened from their bodies, hundreds of warriors, deprived of life, lay on the ground, sleeping on beds worthy of heroes. Rushing against one another, falling down and rising up again and rushing again having risen up, the combatants fought hand to hand.
Afflicted by one another, many rolled on the field of battle. Infuriate elephants rushed hither and thither, and car-warriors by hundreds were slain. And car-warriors, along with their cars, were crushed on all sides. And some warriors fell upon his car, slain by another with arrows. And a mighty car-warrior might be seen to fall down from high, his charioteer also having been slain. A thick dust arose, and thereupon unto the warrior struggling in battle, the twang of the hostile bow indicated the struggling adversary before. From the pressure also on their bodies, combatants guessed their foes. And the warriors, O king, fought on with arrows, guided by the sound of bow-strings and hostile division. The very hiss of the arrows shot by the combatants at one another could not be heard. And so loud was the sound of drums, that it seemed to pierce the ears.
And in that tumultuous uproar making the hair stand on end, the name of the combatant uttered in the battle, while displaying his prowess, could not be heard. The sire could not recognise the son of his loins. One of the wheels being broken, or the yoke being torn off or one of the steeds being slain, the brave car-warrior was overthrown from his car, along with his charioteer, by means of straight arrows. And thus many heroic warriors, deprived of their cars, were seen to fly away He who was slain had cut off; he who was not slain, was struck at the very vitals: but unstruck there was none, when Bhishma attacked the foe. And in that terrific battle, Sweta caused a great slaughter of the Kurus. And he slew many noble princes by hundreds upon hundreds And he cut off, by means of his arrows, the heads of car-warriors by hundreds upon hundreds, and their arms decked with Angadas, and their bows all around. And car-warriors and car-wheels and others that were on cars, and the cars themselves, and standards both small and costly, O king, and large bodies of horses, and crowds of cars, and crowds of men, O Bharata's race, were destroyed by Sweta. Ourselves, from fear of Sweta, abandoning Bhishma that best of car-warriors, left the battle retreating to the rear and, therefore, do we now behold your lordship.
And all the Kurus, O son of Kuru's race, beyond the range of arrows, and abandoning Bhishma the son of Santanu, in that battle, stood as spectators though armed for the combat. Cheerful in the hour of universal cheerlessness, that tiger among men Bhishma, alone of our army, in that terrible battle stood immovable like the mountain Meru. Taking the lives of the foe like the Sun at close of winter, he stood resplendent with the golden rays of his car like the Sun himself with his rays. And that great bowman shot clouds of arrows and struck down the Asuras And while being slaughtered by Bhishma in that dreadful combat, those warriors breaking away from their ranks, they all fled from him, as if from a fire fed by fuel Encountering the single warrior Sweta, that slayer of foes, Bhishma, was the only one amongst us who was cheerful and whole. Devoted to the welfare of Duryodhana, he began to consume the Pandava warrior. Reckless of his very life which is difficult of being cast off, and abandoning all fear he slaughtered, O king, the Pandava army in that fierce conflict And beholding the generalissimo Sweta smiting the Dhartarashtra divisions, thy father Bhishma, called also Devavrata, impetuously rushed against him. Thereupon, Sweta covered Bhishma with an extensive net-work of arrows.
And Bhishma also covered Sweta with a flight of arrows. And roaring like a couple of bulls, they rushed, like two infuriate elephants of gigantic size or two raging tigers, against each other. Baffling each other's weapons by means of their weapons, those bulls among men, viz, Bhishma and Sweta fought with each other, desirous of taking each other's life. In one single day Bhishma, infuriate with anger, could consume the Pandava army with his arrows, if Sweta did not protect it. Beholding the grandsire then turned off by Sweta, the Pandavas were filled with joy, while thy son became cheerless. Duryodhana then, with wrath excited and surrounded by many kings, rushed with his troops against the Pandava host in battle. Then Sweta, abandoning the son of Ganga, slaughtered thy son's host with great impetuosity like the wind uprooting trees with violence. And the son of Virata, senseless with wrath, having routed thy army, advanced once more, O king, to the place where Bhishma was stationed. And those two high-souled and mighty warriors then, both blazing with their arrows, battled with each other like Vritra and Vasava of old, desirous, O king, of slaying each other. Drawing his bow to the fullest stretch, Sweta pierced Bhishma with seven arrows.
The valourous Bhishma then, putting forth his prowess, quickly checked his foe's valour, like an infuriate elephant checking an infuriate compeer. And Sweta then, that delighter of Kshatriyas struck Bhishma, and Bhishma the son of Santanu also pierced him in return with ten arrows. And though pierced by him thus, that mighty warrior stood still like a mountain. And Sweta again pierced Santanu's son with five and twenty straight arrows, at which all wondered. Then smiling and licking with his tongue the corners of his mouth, Sweta in that combat cut off Bhishma's bow into ten fragments with ten arrows. Then aiming a plumed arrow made wholly of iron, Sweta crushed the palmyra on the top of the standard of the high-souled Bhishma. And beholding the standard of Bhishma cut down, thy sons thought that Bhishma was slain, having succumbed to Sweta. And the Pandavas also filled with delight, blew their conches all around. And beholding the palmyra standard of the high-souled Bhishma laid low, Duryodhana, from wrath, urged his own army to the battle. And they all began very carefully to protect Bhishma who was in great distress.
Unto them, also unto those that stood idle spectators, the king said, Either Sweta will die today, or Bhishma the son of Santanu. I say this truly. Hearing the words of the king, the mighty car-warriors speedily with four kinds of forces, advanced protecting the son of Ganga. And Valhika and Kritavarman, and Kripa, and Salya also, O Bharata, and the son of Jarasandha, and Vikarna, and Chitrasena, and Vivinsati, with great speed, when speed was so necessary, surrounding him on all sides, poured on Sweta ceaseless showers of arrows. That mighty warrior then, of immeasurable soul, quickly checked those angry warriors by means of sharp arrows, displaying his own lightness of hand. And checking them all like a lion and a multitude of elephants, Sweta then cut off Bhishma's bow with thick shower of arrows. Then Bhishma the son of Santanu, taking up another bow in that battle, pierced Sweta, O king, with arrows furnished with feathers of Kanka bird. Then the commander of the Pandava army, with wrath excited, pierced Bhishma in that encounter O king, with a great many shafts in the very sight of all. Beholding Bhishma, that foremost of heroes in all the world, checked in battle by Sweta, the king Duryodhana became greatly troubled, and great also became the distress of thy whole army. And beholding the heroic Bhishma checked and mangled by Sweta with his arrows, all thought that Bhishma, having succumbed to Sweta, was slain by him.
Then thy sire Devavrata, yielding to anger, and beholding his own standard overthrown and the Dhartarashtra army checked, shot a great many arrows, O king, at Sweta. Sweta, however, that foremost of car-warriors, baffling all those arrows of Bhishma, once more cut off, with a broad-headed shaft, thy sire's bow. Throwing aside that bow, O king, Ganga's son, senseless with anger, taking up another bow larger and stronger, and aiming seven large broad-headed arrows whetted on stone, slew with four arrows the four steeds of the generalissimo Sweta, cut off his standard with two and with the seventh shaft that warrior of great prowess, exceedingly provoked, cut off his charioteer's head. Thereupon, that mighty car-warrior, jumping down from his car whose steeds and charioteer had been slain, and yielding to the influence of wrath, became exceedingly troubled. The grandsire, beholding Sweta that foremost of car-warriors, deprived of car, began to smite him on all sides with showers of arrows. And smitten in that combat with arrows shot from Bhishma's bow, Sweta, leaving his bow on his abandoned car took up a dart decked with gold and taking up that terrible and fierce dart which resembled the fatal rod of Death and was capable of slaying Death's self. Sweta then, in great wrath, addressed Bhishma the son of Santanu in that combat, saying, Wait a little, and behold me, O best of men, And having said this unto Bhishma in battle, that great bowman of exceeding prowess and immeasurable soul, hurled the dart resembling a snake, displaying his valour for the sake of the Pandavas and desiring to achieve thy evil. Then loud cries of oh and alas arose among thy sons, O king, upon beholding that terrible dart resembling the rod of Death in splendour. And hurled from Sweta's arms, that dart, resembling a snake that had just cast off its slough, fell with great force, O king, like a large meteor from the firmament. Thy sire Devavrata then, O king, without the slightest fear, with eight sharp and winged arrows, cut off into nine fragments, that dart decked with pure gold and which seemed to be covered with flames of fire, as it coursed ablaze through the air.
All thy troops then, O bull of Bharata's race, set up loud shouts of joy. The son of Virata, however, beholding his dart cut off into fragments, became senseless with anger, and like one whose heart was overcome by the arrival of his hour, could not settle what to do. Deprived of his senses by anger, O king, the son of Virata, then, smiling, joyfully took up a mace for Bhishma's slaughter, with eyes red in wrath, and resembling a second Yama armed with mace, he rushed against Bhishma like a swollen torrent against the rocks. Regarding his impetuosity as incapable of cheek, Bhishma endued with great prowess and conversant with the might of others, suddenly alighted on the ground for warding off that blow. Sweta then, O king, whirling in wrath that heavy mace, hurled it on Bhishma's car like the god Maheswara And in consequence of that mace intended for Bhishma's destruction, that car was reduced to ashes, with standard, and charioteer, and steeds and shaft. Beholding Bhishma, that foremost of car-warriors, become a combatant on foot, many car-warriors, viz, Salya and others, speedily rushed to his rescue. Mounting then upon another car, and cheerlessly stretching his bow, Bhishma slowly advanced towards Sweta, seeing that foremost of car-warriors. Meanwhile, Bhishma heard a loud voice uttered in the skies, that was celestial and fraught with his own good. And the voice said,
O, Bhishma, O thou of mighty arms, strive without losing a moment. Even this is the hour fixed by the Creator of the Universe for success over this one. Hearing those words uttered by the celestial messenger, Bhishma, filled with joy, set his heart upon Sweta's destruction. And beholding that foremost of car-warriors, Sweta become a combatant on foot, many mighty car-warriors of the Pandava side rushed unitedly to his rescue. They were Satyaki, and Bhimasena, and Dhrishtadyumna of Prishata's race; and the five Kekaya brothers, and Dhrishtaketu and Abhimanyu of great energy. And beholding them rushing to the rescue, with Drona and Salya and Kripa that hero of immeasurable soul Bhishma checked them all like the mountain resisting the force of the wind. And when all the high-souled warriors of the Pandava side were thus held in check, Sweta, taking up a sword cut off Bhishma's bow. Casting aside that bow, the grandsire, quickly made up his mind for Sweta's destruction, having heard the words of the celestial messenger. Though baffled by Sweta, thy sire Devavrata then that mighty car-warrior quickly taking up another bow that resembled the bow of Sakra himself in splendour, stringed it in a moment. Then thy sire, O chief of the Bharatas, beholding that mighty car-warrior Sweta, though the latter was then surrounded by those tigers among men with Bhimasena at their head, thy sire the son of Ganga-advanced steadily for the sake of the generalissimo Sweta alone.
Beholding Bhishma advance, Bhimasena of great prowess pierced him with sixty shafts. But that mighty car-warrior, thy sire Devavrata, checking both Bhimasena and Abhimanyu and other car-warriors with terrible shafts, struck him with three straight arrows. And the grandsire of the Bharatas also struck Satyaki, in that combat, with a hundred arrows, and Dhrishtadyumna with twenty and the Kekaya brothers with five. And checking all those great bowmen with terrible arrows, thy sire Devavrata advanced towards Sweta alone. Then taking out an arrow resembling Death's self and capable of bearing a great strain and incapable of being resisted, the powerful Bhishma placed it on his bowstring. And that shaft, furnished with wings and duly endued with the force of the Brahma weapon, was seen by the gods and Gandharvas and Pisachas and Uragas, and Rakshasas. And that shaft, of splendour like that of a blazing fire, piercing through his coat of mail passed through his body and struck into the earth, with a flash like that of heaven's bolt. Like the Sun when speedily retiring to his western chambers taking along with him the rays of light, even thus that shaft passed out of Sweta's body, bearing away with itself his life. Thus slain in battle by Bhishma, we beheld that tiger among men fall down like the loosened crest of a mountain. And all the mighty car-warriors of the Kshatriya race belonging to the Pandava side indulged in lamentations.
Thy sons, however, and all the Kurus, were filled with delight. Then, O king, beholding Sweta overthrown, Dussasana danced in joy over the field in accompaniment With the loud music of conches and drums. And when that great bowman was slain by Bhishma, that ornament of battle, the mighty bowmen of the Pandava side with Sikhandin at their head, trembled in fear. Then when their commander was slain, Dhananjaya, O king, and he of Vrishni's race, slowly withdrew the troops for their nightly rest. And then, O Bharata, the withdrawal took place of both theirs and thine, while thine and theirs were frequently setting up loud roars. And the mighty car-warriors of the Parthas entered their quarters cheerlessly, thinking, O chastiser of foes, of that awful slaughter in single combat of their commander

    return False

I test the WS "storeResource" alone with SOAP UI and it's working, with the same parameters. Here is the error I've got after running my python script
SD2: Missing element for Any

A: you have to set "Any" parameter when you're calling your service:
client.service.storeExtResource(Any='value')

A: To resolve the "missing element" error for optional parameters, use the following:
from zeep import xsd

and set optional element you won't send as xsd.SkipValue.

Q: Different scenarios of scraping - scrapy I am currently working on my scrapy project, where I scrap content from internet forums.
I want my application to offer different scenarios of scraping, so I wrote a method that should handle these scenarios based on some input flags
def work_executor(self, response):
    yield from self.parse_categories(response)
    if not parse_only_categories:
          yield from self.parse_topics()

Parse topics method should read categories from mongodb and send request to each category and parse posts.
However the parse_topics method is never executed although flag is set.
Work executor is called from parse method of my spider
def parse(self, response):
        yield from self.work_executor(response)

Earlier I did it this way, which worked
def parse_categories(self, response):
    #some working code
    yield scrapy.Request(url=self.base_domain +link,callback=self.parse_topics)

This solution is hovewer not generic enough for my project so that I am looking for alternatives of how to achieve this efect in the way I tried (and described in the first part of my post)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.


'Tis season to be jolly, but unfortunately, the Christmas turkey is not usually the only thing that gets stuffed over the holidays. These tips will help you enjoy your Christmas festivities without putting on extra Kilos and suffering with 'wipe out' hang overs.
The average Christmas dinner contains more calories than the average adult needs in an entire day (for many, it's almost double the amount they need in a day). It can also contain the amount of fat required for an entire week, according to the American Council on Exercise. CNN reported that the average North American adult gains 3 kgs over the holiday season. The average Australian is not that different!
Don't be a statistic! Be prepared. This can be a challenge especially if you generally manage your healthy eating and life style, so be on guard and remain proactive.
Try to keep calm leading up to and over Christmas. Stress can be a trigger for making a lot of poor decisions – over eating, choosing high calorie foods, binge drinking, no-stop partying and being too tired to bother with exercising.
Try small amounts of different party foods; try a variety of foods & tastes but only a small portion of each.
Avoid standing near the food table or in the kitchen at a party, if you have to walk over to get the food, you will eat less.
Have only healthy options – prawns, oysters and fish or skinless chicken and turkey. Organic salads, vegetables & fresh fruit are all low in fat & and brimming with healthy anti-oxidants.
A glass of water between alcoholic drinks, it will keep you hydrated & you will feel better in the morning.
entertaining, you'll feel great & burn off the indulgence.
Take some 'me time' just to be at peace with yourself. For some it is meditating, yoga or just sitting in a bath with the door firmly closed to the rest of the world. Find your 'me time'.
Drink the best quality wines you can afford as they have less wine maker artifice, and better tolerated by your gut and head. Red wine has the health benefits not white wine.
White spirits in moderation; tend to be more forgiving than dark spirits and cocktails when it comes to headaches the next day.
Have alcohol free days between occasions and the big parties; you'll feel better for it and your brain cells with thank you.
Get a game going with your family and friends or borrow some ones kids (their parents will thank you) after a meal to aid digestion and run off the extra calories.
Play backyard cricket, throw the Frisbee or go for a swim. Kids just love it and so does the child in you when everybody gets involved in fun stuff.
Avoid skipping meals to compensate for the indulgence you are planning – you're more likely to eat unhealthy snacks if you go to the party hungry and get drunk very quickly.
Your metabolism has slowed down as your body has nothing to process so weight gain is the likely consequence.
Instead have your usual healthy meal with protein and vegetables to sustain you and then make healthy choices at the party.

The Ivy League issued a statement on Twitter, of course, in support of biological males competing in women's college sports.
It said: "The Ivy League releases the following statement of support regarding Penn's Lia Thomas' participation on the women's swimming and diving team" and included the image below:
This person was competing on the men's swimming team for three years, then decided to identify as a female, and is now competing against women.
This person has also broken at least two women's records, per report:
Earlier in the event, the student-athlete, who swam for Penn's men's swimming team for three years in NCAA Division I competition, beat two U.S. women's swimming records.
Thomas set the first new U.S. record Friday after winning the 500-yard freestyle with a time of 4:34:06.
The winning time also set a new Akron pool record, Penn school record, and Ivy League record.
Thomas then achieved the fastest women's U.S. time for the 200-yard freestyle, finishing the race seven seconds faster than the closest competitor and winning with a time of 1:41:93.
This person has sparked debate on if it's fair for biological males to compete against women in sports.

Compass to Meaning: What do you Believe?
What do you believe? This question right here – I think it is one of the most important questions to ask throughout our lives, moment to moment, day to day, year to year. What do you really believe? What is true for YOU? I know one thing I believe and know to be true. I believe all people are innately good people. I try my hardest to see the good in others, even when it seems damn near impossible. All anyone in the world wants is love. That is all. And in that way, we are all exactly the same. There are people out there doing crazy things, but maybe it all started because they needed to feel loved, needed to belong. Please note, I'm not saying there is ANY excuse for harmful behavior. But if you look at the root cause of most harmful behavior, it stems from the same need for love and acceptance. And since this is one of my core beliefs, it drives the way I see many of the situations in my life. It's gotten me burned, but it's also gotten me some amazing friendships and life experiences. Some people have warned me that I am too naive, or that I am "too nice." Maybe, maybe not. But the world looks a heck of a lot more beautiful when I look for the beauty and goodness in everything.

Q: Which viewer can search within a line? I have a file (a minified Javascript file) that is essentially one long line.
When I run a search in this file with mc (by pressing F7 in the builtin viewer) or with less (by typing a slash) apparently it takes me to the start of the line, even though wrapping is activated. That is not helpful.
Is there a commonly available (I'm using Ubuntu) viewer that can take me to the line after wrapping where the search term was found?

A: vim's and nvi's implementations of view at least will scroll the wrapped line representation to let you see at least the start of the match (set hls in ~/.vimrc/~/.exrc to highlight searches).
Use view - to view stdin (as in seq 10000 | paste -sd ' ' - | view - as an example of viewing an overlong line)
So will the most pager (with -w to wrap) and the more implementation from util-linux.

Advancing nursing through research
Monday, July 7, 2014by Catherine Duncan
Ashley Byrd's plans to become a nurse evolved into a career as a researcher who helps other nurses.
Growing up in the small East Texas town of Jasper, Ashley Byrd was taught the value of education by her parents. Her maternal grandmother was illiterate and had to end her formal education in eighth grade.
"My mom wanted much more for me. She knew how tough it had been for her mother," Byrd said.
This same beloved grandmother also would unintentionally play a role in the career path her granddaughter would choose.
"As a child, I saw my grandmother dying of cancer. I observed the hospice nurse who came and cared for her. That experience made me want to become a nurse."
At age 14, Byrd started volunteering at a hospital in Jasper. That experience confirmed her decision to be a nurse. She went on to earn her bachelor of science in nursing degree from Lamar University in Beaumont.
While working on her undergraduate degree, Byrd noticed that the psychiatric population in the community was underserved. She said her religious values helped her decide that she needed to work with this underserved population.
"After graduating, I worked with adolescent, adult and geriatric patients in the behavioral unit of a hospital in Beaumont. I was promoted to charge nurse and did that for three years," Byrd said. "After working as a registered nurse, I decided I wanted to continue my education and become a nurse practitioner specializing in psychiatric and mental health care."
That desire led her to the School of Nursing at the UT Health Science Center San Antonio. The School of Nursing offers a master of science in nursing degree with a major in psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner.
"I noticed the need for nurse practitioners while I was working as a registered nurse. I enjoy being a lifelong learner, and I wanted to help serve the community better," she said.
As part of her graduate degree program, Byrd was introduced to evidence-based quality improvement through her research course. In further pursuit of research activities, she enrolled in an "Applications of Research" elective course and directly engaged in research in the university's Academic Center for Evidence-Based Practice (ACE).
Founded by Kathleen R. Stevens, Ed.D., RN, ANEF, FAAN, ACE was established as a Center of Excellence in 2000. ACE is dedicated to bridging research into practice with the ultimate goal of improving care, patient outcomes and patient safety and is devoted to building a workforce that will transform health care quality.
During the course, Byrd started working in ACE as a research assistant with Frank Puga, Ph.D., assistant research professor in ACE within the Department of Health Restoration and Care Systems Management in the School of Nursing. Dr. Puga's funded research, titled "A System Approach to Inform Interventions that Reduce the Negative Effects of Stress on Frontline Nurses," is studying physiological manifestations (increased cortisol levels) and psychological manifestations (burnout) of stress experienced by nurses in order to recommend system-level changes to help reduce this stress.
"We are looking at reducing nurses' stress, which is something I saw firsthand in the mental health field. I think it is an epidemic in the nursing field. Because of stress, you see turnover in the field. We want to see what we can do to change this," Byrd said.
Currently in the startup stages, Byrd is learning how to run a research project. The next stage will be implementation of the pilot study. "We will go into two hospitals and take salivary samples from nurses to measure their cortisol level, which is a physiological marker of stress. The next phase of the study will be conducting interviews with the nurses.
"Once the pilot study is completed, we will compile the information and make modifications before the research study is implemented in many more hospitals," she said. "Our first goal is to describe the relationship of psychological stress and the work environment. Our second goal is to identify ways to mediate this stress."
Under the guidance of Drs. Puga and Stevens, Byrd said she is learning to be a better student and to become a better nurse.
"They are helping me to be the type of nurse that I always wanted to be. I want to be the type of nurse who constantly evaluates what I am doing and how I am doing it. Is there evidence-based research that backs what I am doing?
"By understanding how to do research and how to apply it in the field, I will be able to better care for my mentally ill patients. I can make a difference in their lives. I can make their lives better," she added.

Let's Talk about Head & Neck Cancers
Images used: Getty Images
28.APR.2022 8 MIN READ | 8 MIN READ
Head and neck cancers may be less prevalent than lung or colorectal cancer, and they may not have obvious signs, especially in the early stages. Read on, learn the signs, and don't let them fall under your radar!
Head and neck cancers, or ENT (ear, nose and throat) cancers, may not always cross our minds when we are looking out for cancer symptoms. Obvious signs and symptoms of some of these cancers may also be absent or trivialised at the start, which delays their diagnosis.
Being informed about the signs and symptoms these cancers present is therefore useful in helping you detect a potential issue, so you can get a diagnosis and start treatment as soon as possible.
Read on to learn about some common ENT cancers such as nasopharyngeal cancer, throat cancer, voice box cancer and thyroid cancer, their warning signs and treatment options.
Nasopharyngeal Cancer
Nasopharyngeal cancer ranks among the top 10 cancers faced by men aged 30 – 59 years in Singapore*. It occurs when the cells in the tissues behind the nose, just above the mouth and throat, become cancerous.
*National Registry of Diseases Office: Incidence of cancer among men from 2015 – 2019
Nasopharyngeal cancer may mimic other more common conditions, and is often undetected until its advanced stages.
Below are some signs and symptoms to look out for:
Lumps on the neck (when cancer cells have spread to the lymph nodes)
Blocked ear, hearing loss or tinnitus (ringing in the ear), especially on one side
Blood-stained phlegm from the nose and throat
Recurring nosebleeds
Blocked nose, especially on one side, and occurring suddenly
Certain risk factors that can increase one's chance of developing nasopharyngeal cancer include:
Ethnicity (higher incidences noted among the Chinese)
A diet comprising high consumption of salt-preserved fish, and lacking in fresh fruit and vegetables
Past Epstein-Barr virus* (EBV) infection
*EBV infection is a common viral infection that usually results in mild symptoms like fever and sore throat, and has been linked to nasopharyngeal cancer development. On its own, EBV does not cause nasopharyngeal cancer. However, it is the interaction between EBV and other factors such as genetic susceptibility and / or environmental risk factors that may subsequently lead to development of nasopharyngeal cancer.
Diagnosis begins with a general examination by your doctor, who will ask you more about your symptoms, and check for any swollen lymph nodes. Diagnostic tests may be required to determine the presence of the cancer. Examples of such tests include:
Nasendoscopy – a long, narrow and flexible tube with a camera at the end is inserted into the nose to examine the back of the nose for abnormalities.
Biopsy – a small sample of suspicious tissues are removed and examined under a microscope to check for cancer cells.
Blood test – due to the association between EBV and Nasopharyngeal cancer, blood tests help to detect antibodies to EBV, or EBV DNA can aid early diagnosis and screening for Nasopharyngeal cancer.
If cancer is confirmed, your doctor would administer further tests such as CT (Computed Tomography) scan, MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) and PET (Positron Emission Tomography) scan to determine the stage of the cancer, so that appropriate treatment can be given.
Early stage nasopharyngeal cancer is usually treated with radiation therapy, while advanced stages of the cancer will involve treatment with a combination of radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Surgery is reserved for residual disease – when some cancer remains after treatment, or recurrence – when the cancer returns after the previous course of treatment.
Cancers of the Throat (Pharyngeal Cancer) and Voice Box (Laryngeal Cancer)
These refer to tumours developing in the throat (around the voice box) or in the voice box itself. The voice box is divided into the area above the vocal cords (supraglottis), the vocal cords themselves (glottis) and the area under the vocal cords (subglottis).
The voice box allows us to swallow and speak, and symptoms would typically affect these functions.
Signs and symptoms to look out for include the following:
Voice changes such as hoarseness for more than a month
Persistent sore throat
Lump(s) in the neck
Difficulty or pain while swallowing
Factors associated with an increased risk of cancer include:
Excessive consumption of alcohol
A human papillomavirus (HPV) infection
Diagnosis begins with a discussion of your medical history and symptoms experienced. Following this, a physical examination will be conducted to check for sores and lumps in the mouth, or swollen lymph nodes in the neck.
Further checks that may be administered include:
Nasopharyngolaryngoscopy – an endoscope is inserted into the nose, throat or voice box to examine it for signs of cancer. A biopsy will be taken to confirm the diagnosis should lumps or tumours be found.
Laryngoscopy – an endoscope is inserted into the throat and larynx to evaluate the exact extent of tumours that have been detected. This is done under anaesthesia and usually accompanied by a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis.
Panendoscopy – an endoscope is inserted to examine the larynx, oesophagus, mouth, nasal cavity, and the lungs in one session under anaesthesia. Biopsies will be taken as necessary to rule out another cancer in similar risk sites.
If throat or voice box cancer is found, your doctor would administer further tests such as CT scan, MRI and PET scan to determine the stage and extent of the cancer, so that the appropriate treatment plan can be advised.
Treatment would be recommended depending on where the cancer is located, the size of the tumour(s), cancer stage, and overall health. Early stage cancers may require surgical removal of the tumour or radiation therapy. Advanced stage cancer would involve surgical removal of the tumour, then a combination of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Following this, surgery may also be recommended to remove any residual or recurrent cancer cells.
Thyroid cancer is the 8th most frequent cancer amongst women in Singapore. It affects the thyroid gland, which is located at the base of the neck, just below the Adam's apple. The thyroid produces hormones that regulate the heart rate, blood pressure, cholesterol levels, body temperature and weight.
Thyroid cancer occurs when cells in the thyroid gland mutate and grow, forming tumours. Most thyroid cancers are highly treatable, especially in younger patients, with excellent long-term cure rates.
In its initial stages, thyroid cancer presents few to no symptoms. However, as the cancer develops, patients may notice a lump or mass in the neck. Most thyroid lumps are benign, but further investigation would be necessary to differentiate between cancer and non-cancerous lumps. Some signs to look out for include:
Lump(s) at the front of the neck
Voice hoarseness
Pain in the neck, at the location of the thyroid
Lumps at the sides of the neck (swollen lymph nodes)
Factors that can increase one's risk of thyroid cancer include:
Family history of thyroid cancer.
Exposure to high levels of radiation, especially to the head and neck area.
Diagnosis begins with a discussion of any symptoms, family history of thyroid issues, and any exposure to risk factors. Your doctor may conduct a physical examination of your neck to check for abnormalities, such as the presence of a thyroid nodule (lump). Additionally, your doctor may request for one or more of the following tests:
Blood test – to check your thyroid hormone levels to determine if your thyroid is functioning properly.
Ultrasound Imaging – high-frequency sound waves will be able to show an 'image' of the thyroid, and if it has any nodules. A biopsy may be ordered should suspicious lumps be found.
Fine-needle aspiration biopsy – using ultrasound to locate the nodule or lump, a very thin needle is inserted into it to extract cells from the nodule, which are then examined under a microscope to look for cancer.
Other imaging scans such as CT scan or MRI may be necessary if the cancer is suspected to have spread to the lymph nodes in the neck.
The treatment recommended would depend on the size and type of thyroid cancer, and whether the cancer has spread beyond the thyroid. Treatment procedures include:
Surgery – This may involve removal of half or the whole thyroid gland. Sometimes removal of lymph nodes from the centre of the neck or the sides of the neck may be necessary depending on the stage of the cancer.
Radioactive iodine treatment – Sometimes required after surgery, this involves the patient consuming a small, and safe amount of radioactive iodine. This is done to destroy any remaining thyroid tissue still present after surgery or remaining cancer cells that might have spread, but are still undetectable. This reduces the chances of the cancer coming back.
Hormone therapy – As the body is unable to produce the hormone thyroid once the entire gland is removed, it needs to be replaced artificially with medication. A higher dose is usually given to suppress thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) which would encourage the growth of cancer cells, thus lowering the risk of recurrence.
Radiation Therapy – Used in situations where surgery is unable to completely remove the tumour, or to control thyroid cancer that has spread to other localised sites like the bone.
Chemotherapy – Chemotherapy or targeted therapy is rarely necessary and only used in advanced thyroid cancer that has spread beyond the lymph nodes to other parts of the body, and if it does not respond to radioactive iodine treatment.
Early Detection is Key
While the symptoms mentioned in this article are not always due to cancer, and may be caused by many common illnesses, stay alert and look into symptoms that seem unusual to you, especially when they are new symptoms that do not go away after some time (usually 1 month). Cancer treatments have higher rates of success when the cancer is diagnosed early. Should you need medical advice, consult an ENT (Otorhinolaryngology) specialist.
An early diagnosis of cancer is key to increasing the chances of survival, successful treatment, and quality of life.

The prophet Zephaniah is prophesying a terrible and destructive day of the Lord, a day of divine judgment that is coming to Israel. He is writing not long before the fall of Jerusalem, which took place in 587 B.C.. His message is one of destruction and death coming to Israel. This divine judgment is coming because Israel has fallen into the sin of worshipping other gods and because of its unjust and abusive leadership. It is a message as fresh and important as the day it was given those many centuries ago.
We, too, live in an age where people worship many gods. Indeed many deny the very existence of God, claiming divine-like qualities to themselves, or to science, or some other human entity. Someone once said that all you would need to do to see what a person's "religion" is, would be to watch them for a time and observe what he or she gave all of his or her time, talent and treasure to. In doing so, we can see that many today worship things like power, money, and sensual pleasures of countless kinds, and their whole lives are built around finding ways to maximize these things. Because of this there is much that is unjust and abusive in our social and political leaders today.
Science and technology have become the gods of many people today too. They are worshipped with a kind of subservient awe and reverential enthusiasm. And those who are engaged in these things even begin to believe that, though they do not now have the answers to the great existential questions, they will one day find them. They have even come to believe that they are the masters of nature and that, at some time in the future, scientific and technological man will master the universe. These things have even snuck into the practice of once traditional Christianity, reducing the divine messages of repentance and salvation through God's infinite love to a means for becoming powerful, wealthy, or famous.
Lord, help us to keep our eyes always and in all ways on you alone. There is nothing of human origin that can compete with your love, your mercy, or your forgiveness.

Q: How do I verify a method call and ignore the return value in EasyMock? I'm getting frustrated trying to do a simple thing - I want to invoke a method on a mock object and NOT check its return value. I just want to check that it was invoked with the correct parameters.
Example:
MyInterface mockObject = createMock(MyInterface.class);
SomeObject param = new SomeObject();

/* the write object is not void and returns an instance of FooOjbect.
 * I want to ignore everything to do with FooObject - I do not care what
 * it is because I do not store its value. How do I do this? */
mockObject.write(param);

replay(mockObject);

someOtherObjectThatCallsAboveMockObject.process(mockObject);

verify(mockObject);

So are there any EasyMock experts out there? I'm not concerned about the design of the underlying method that I'm calling and not storing the return value because the actually implementation is coming from a third-party networking library (Apache Mina) and I have no control over the API.
EDIT:
Conclusion reached some time later
I dumped EasyMock because it wasn't easy and went for Mockito.

A: Instead of
mockObject.write(param)

write
EasyMock.expect( mockObject.write(param) ).andReturn( /* return value here */ );

You still need to return a value for the code to be correct but you can ignore the value further on in the test.


For those of you that have gone through separation I find myself caught between the rock and the hard place, I want to be sensitive to my wife but she is leaving me with impossible choices, she does not want me to stay with friends, she does not want me to spend money on a hotel so I have told her I am going home and we will have to work it out between us where I end up from there, am I doing the right thing?
I have read that it's best you stay in the family home. If she wants to move out that's up to her but you're trying to do the best thing for your marriage.
Well I am back home, I guess we will see, on the plus side I am in God's hands now as was proved yesterday when God not only answered and immediate and urgent need in prayer, he turned the situation I was in from totally negative to far beyond what I could imagine.
Suffice to say we are doing good, God is great.
Praising Him through each moment brings peace to your own thoughts as well.

Q: gmaps4rails this.clusterer is undefined in this.clusterer.addMarker(marker); I receive the error this.clusterer is undefined. You can see my configuration below.
Expected behaviour: Load the Page, than AJAX-load the Markers from the controller using the query defined in #search_form. Finally add the markers to the #map and cluster them.
my js.coffee
$ ->
  handler = Gmaps.build('Google');
  handler.buildMap { provider: {center: new google.maps.LatLng(49.639177, 9.536133),zoom: 6}, internal: {id: 'map'}},
    ()->
      handler._createClusterer()

  markers = []
  placeMarkers = (data, textStatus, jqXHR) ->
    handler.removeMarkers(markers);
    markers = handler.addMarkers(data)  # <<--- here is the error

  $("#search_form").submit (e) ->
    valuesToSubmit = $(this).serialize
    $.ajax({
      url: $(this).attr("action"),
      data: valuesToSubmit,
      success: placeMarkers,
      dataType: 'json'
    })
    e.preventDefault

  $("#search_form").submit()

And the Controller:
def index
respond_to do |format|
  format.html {}
  format.json {
    seminars = Seminar.search(params[:search])
    @markers = Gmaps4rails.build_markers(seminars) do |seminar, marker|
    return if seminar.location.is_a? String
      marker.lat seminar.location.lat
      marker.lng seminar.location.lon
      marker.infowindow render_to_string(:partial => 'seminars/seminar.html.haml', :locals => {seminar: seminar})
      marker.title seminar.course.title
      marker.json({ :id => seminar.id })
    end
    render json: @markers
  }
end

end

And the response from the controller:
[{"lat":52.517,"lng":13.3889,"marker_title":"Title1","id":1},
 {"lat":51.5114,"lng":7.46517,"marker_title":"Title2","id":3}]

Here is the stacktrace
Gmaps.Objects.Handler.Handler.addMarker (application.js:22417)
(anonymous function) (application.js:22409)
_.map._.collect (application.js:21094)
Gmaps.Objects.Handler.Handler.addMarkers (application.js:22408)
placeMarkers (application.js:23263)
jQuery.Callbacks.fire (application.js:3049)
jQuery.Callbacks.self.fireWith (application.js:3161)
done (application.js:8236)
jQuery.ajaxTransport.send.callback (application.js:8779)

Version gmaps4rails-2.1.1

A: Very strange, I can't reproduce it any more...
I think the change was to add the $("#search_form").submit() to the onMapLoad handler.
$ ->
  handler = Gmaps.build('Google');
  handler.buildMap { provider: {center: new google.maps.LatLng(49.639177, 9.536133),zoom: 6}, internal: {id: 'map'}},
    ()->
      $("#search_form").submit()

Thank you for your hint @apneadiving

A: Had the same issues recently. Basically what @apneadiving was suggesting: it is a timing issue when ajax calls are done before the callback handler of buildMap has finished.
Solution:
Either one starts ajax calls only from inside of the callback handler (aka serialized) or what I like more: using callbacks through setTimeout from within your ajax response. This should make your app more responsive as calls and processing can be done more in parallel.


As we age, we gain two W's: wisdom and wrinkles. While the former we tend to accept happily, we can't say the same about the latter. Although you technically can't turn back the clock, however, it is possible to delay how soon those little lines show up on your face or their severity.
Wrinkles are now the new gray hair, meaning they contribute in the judgment of attractiveness, romantic viability, and social status. With the always changing technology and pop culture, wrinkles now seem to be optional for those who can afford to smooth them out.
Lots of people think that with age comes a heightened perception of flaws. Of course, that is entirely not true, but when grocery clerks start calling you ma'am, wrinkles appear on your face, and many of your friends have jumped into the ocean of procedures that make them look younger, you can't help but feel the pressure to change something about yourself.
Because we're now used to seeing flawless, wrinkle-free faces, even women as young as their early 30s, can feel trapped in between nature and the anti-aging climate. Although genetics sure do play a big role in aging and wrinkles, you can prevent premature wrinkling by avoiding the sun and taking good care of your skin.
Mild cases of wrinkles have usually responded to treatment such as prescription creams while deep lines require more 'aggressive' removal methods. Despite our skin aging in a natural process, sun exposure really does dramatically enhance the rate at which the aging process occurs. Sun damage brings along a lot of problems such as dry, rough skin, sagginess, and, of course, wrinkles.
Wrinkles can actually be two things: fine surface lines and deep channels that are related to muscular contractions. It's important to note that some deep channels are actually anatomical in nature and don't necessarily have anything to do with aging. However, it is the aging wrinkles that bother people.
Who would have thought, right? Apparently, chewing gum leads to wrinkles because it forces your mouth to continually form different shapes. Frequent chewers are more in danger, since constantly chewing for a period of time leads to a downward turn in the corners of the mouth. Once the wrinkles are formed due to repetitive movements, it's very hard to go back. Instead of gum, you can stick to mints, breath strips, or anything other than gum.
We all know that sugar is not exactly our friend, but little do we know what an excessive amount of sugar can do to our skin. According to Alexiades-Armenakas, when the sugar molecules bind to tissues, harmful new molecules are created in the bloodstream that damage collagen and elastin, the two fibers we count on to keep our skin firm.
You might not like this but you can actually point fingers at your phone and tablet for the wrinkles below your chin. I mean, when you are staring down at your screen for hours on end, think about the neck and its unusual angle. You've probably noticed the immediate effects such as a sore neck and strained eyes but think about other long-term problems such as neck wrinkles.
I can't stress this enough: ALWAYS.WEAR.SUNSCREEN. Sunscreen is the anti-aging product you should be wearing every single day because protecting your skin from UV light exposure needs to be your number one priority when it comes to skin care routine. Daily (and by daily I mean every single day of the year, even when it's not even sunny outside) use of sunscreen can absolutely reduce the risk of early signs of aging.
Sure, you can't do much about genetics, but you damn sure can control your lifestyle choices that lead to wrinkles. Shocked? Well, you can start by wearing sunscreen to protect your skin and quit smoking now. One step at a time, one less wrinkle.

Bumble Gave Nearly Its Entire Staff a Week Off to Combat Burnout. Here's What It Learned
One of several companies to institute a 'reset week,' the dating app business has useful lessons on how to let your employees unplug.
By Christine Lagorio-Chafkin, Senior writer, Inc.@Lagorio
Tariq Shaukat, president of Bumble.
Bumble, the 700-person global dating-app company founded by Whitney Wolfe Herd, recently came up with a creative solution to pandemic-related employee burnout. It let everyone unplug--all at once.
"Our teams were expressing Zoom fatigue, as well as actual burnout," says Tariq Shaukat, the president of Bumble. The company had put in place measures to help employees concentrate, including "Focus Fridays," one workday a month with no meetings, no planning emails, and no Slack messages. Employees loved them, spurring the company's leaders to discuss how to further the stress-reduction effort.
Initially, they considered allocating extra days off but realized that wasn't the issue. Even on their days off, employees weren't completely disconnecting, Shaukat says: "The stress comes from always being connected--but when working from home, or vacationing, there's always a feeling of, 'What am I missing?'"
To eliminate the FOMO, Shaukat says management eventually decided to shut down most operations the week of June 21. "We wanted to help them actually unplug from the business," he says. "That only gets accomplished when everyone does it at the same time." In late April, Bumble tweeted its plan to give employees a week off, with the hashtag indicating the start of a movement in corporate mental health: #APaidWeekOff.
With the exceptions of cybersecurity employees and a core customer-service team, nearly 700 Bumble employees unplugged. Feedback from employees was a revelation, Shaukat says: "A number of people said, 'I had no idea how badly I was vacationing. Because I didn't have to constantly worry about what I was missing, I could actually disconnect.'"
The initiative went so well that Bumble in its July 29 all-staff meeting announced it was doubling down on collective time off. In the next year, it will provide two full weeks of companywide reset time, and also offer employees unlimited vacation.
Bumble wasn't the only company that had the idea. When LinkedIn found that pandemic-induced burnout had increased in the second quarter of 2021, the company gave many employees a week off in April. "This global week off was a gift for our employees to express our gratitude," Nina McQueen, the company's vice president of global talent benefits and employee experience, said in a statement.
Other businesses have followed suit. Hootsuite, the company behind a social media management platform, introduced a companywide wellness week off in July to help employee mental health. Momentive, a 1,500-person company formerly known as SurveyMonkey, also closed shop for a week in July to let employees recharge. And it's not just large tech companies jumping on the trend: Three bars in Philadelphia recently announced they would close for a week, giving employees paid time to de-stress after 16 months of shifting restrictions and responsibilities.
Shaukat says other businesses that are meeting- and teamwork-heavy could easily take a page from Bumble's new playbook. He advises planning well in advance of a companywide week off, in order to help employees plan travel or family time. (Bumble announced the week off six weeks in advance; he advises giving even more notice.)
Also, consider how to give comparable off-time to employees whose jobs are so core to operations that they cannot all simultaneously check out. How can teams plan so that executives--and, for example, cybersecurity professionals--can also experience the feeling of not needing to check in on their Slack or email?
At Bumble, management is giving a lot of thought to how to manage remote workers--and their time and mental health--better. In addition to expanding "Focus Fridays" to include more frequent "no meeting" windows, the company is encouraging employees to think about freeing up their schedules more. "The big thing really grinding on everyone is that things that used to be a five-minute conversation in the cafeteria or a quick pop by a desk are now turning into 30-minute formal meetings," Shaukat says. "We need to be better at protecting our calendars."


Just the sheer number of active users on social media can make your jaw drop. Facebook has over 2 billion, Instagram has 800 million and Twitter has about 330 million monthly active users.
This provides a lucrative opportunity for brands to leverage social influencer marketing. In fact, a survey by Bloglovin' shows that 63% of companies have increased their influencer marketing budgets this year.
With so many brands willing to pay for relevant influence, many of you might be interested in becoming an influencer. However, you might not have thousands of social media followers. Can that be a deal breaker?
If you've read some of my posts on social influencer marketing, you've probably heard this before. But I don't think I can stress enough the need for authenticity as a social influencer.
In a survey by TapInfluence, 71% of influencers revealed that honesty and humor keep their followers engaged. On social media, your niche and content should be a reflection of your personality. This is the single most important reason people follow you.
Brands are willing to pay for the right kind of influence. A large number of followers alone does not demonstrate influence. Even if you have less than 1,000 followers, you need to show the value you can provide.
Not sure how to connect with brands that might be interested? You can leverage platforms like Crowdtap or BuzzSumo to find brands in your niche and connect with them.
Not sure how to go about selling your photos? Make use of platforms like Snapwire, Mobileprints or Twenty20 to find buyers.

Home Article Lindsey Graham Thinks American Jails Should Be Just Like Bagram.
Lindsey Graham Thinks American Jails Should Be Just Like Bagram.
Yesterday, Spencer Ackerman noted that Sen. Lindsey Graham had made a rather unusual statement about Bagram during yesterday's Senate Armed Services Committee Hearing where Gen. Stanley McChrystal and Ambassador Karl Eikenberry testified. I went back and looked at the video of Graham's statement, here's a partial transcript:
When our colleagues go over to visit, I would just make a recommendation to committee members if you get a chance go over to the Bagram confinement facility, General McChrystal, y'all have done a great job, that is a, I wish we had jails like that in South Carolina, I mean it really is a very impressive facility, and I want to commend you and your staff and the embassy working together to come up with a new detainee policy I think will help the war effort.
It's true that Bagram is being renovated, and that human rights groups have praised the new Detainee Review Boards as an improvement over the Bush administration's Combatant Status Review Tribunals, while maintaining there are still numerous problems with detention policy in Afghanistan that need to be addressed. Human Rights groups used some of the recommendations McChrystal made in his strategic assessment to argue for those reforms, but Graham's praise is premature at best.
It's also true that detainees at the facility are currently housed in "cages accommodating about 20 men apiece," and that the prison itself is notorious among Afghans as a site of abuse, injustice, and arbitrary and indefinite detention. Recently, two former detainees described being tortured and abused in a "black jail" operated by Special Forces where they were denied access to the International Committee of the Red Cross. Lawyers attempting to represent the detainees there have also been denied access.
Maybe Graham thinks that American jails should be run this way, but I doubt he'd find too many corrections officials in the United States who would agree with him. I'd like to see Graham run for reelection on that platform: U.S. jails -- we'll make them just like the ones in Afghanistan!

Crazy P have been leaving their mark on the landscape of British dance music for the last 15 years. Fusing slinky underground disco, deep electronic throbs, shimmering pop moments; this is dance music with a voice, a heart, and soul.

For well over a decade Natasha Diggs has been digging deeper to provide the soundscape for parties across the globe in cities such as New York, Tokyo, Sydney, Beijing, Prague, Los Angeles and Berlin.
