Rothwald is the largest remnant of primeval forest in the Alps1. Although there were large fellings in the region from the mid-1700s, Rothwald was saved thanks to its remoteness, topography and location between two Austrian states2. In 1875 it passed into the ownership of the Rothschild family, which did not allow any wood removal in Rothwald but preserved it for use as a hunting and recreation area2. In 1943 the primeval forest was officially protected2 and is today a part of Dürrenstein Wilderness Area. In 2017, the Wilderness Area was added to the Ancient and Primeval Beech Forests of the Carpathians and Other Regions of Europe World Heritage Site. Pollen analyses have also confirmed that this is a true virgin forest1. Rothwald is nowadays divided in two separate parts: "big primeval forest" (2.4 km2) and "small primeval forest" (0.5 km2). Originally, the primeval forest was contiguous and its area larger; unfortunately wood removal along the Moderbach (creek) between today's two parts after storm damage in 1966 resulted in the separation of the primeval forest into two parts2.
Rothwald grows on limestone from 940 m elevation up to the forest limit at 1500 m 3 and comprises both steep slopes and almost level ground. The main tree species are Fagus sylvatica (European beech), Abies alba (European silver fir) and Picea abies (Norway spruce). There are over 500-year-old A. alba and P. abies, and 450-year-old F. sylvatica specimens2. The other, much less common, trees are Acer pseudoplatanus (sycamore maple), Acer platanoides (Norway maple), Ulmus glabra (wych elm), Salix caprea (goat willow), Aria edulis (syn. Sorbus aria, whitebeam) 2, Hedlundia austriaca (syn. Sorbus austriaca), Sorbus aucuparia (European rowan) and Taxus baccata (European yew) 1. These are easy to distinguish from each other. "Small primeval forest" has some heavily wooded sites, even 1577 m3/ha has been measured in a small area3. However, most of the forest has much lower wood volume. On the other hand, dead wood volumes are high throughout the forest.
Although there has been no wood use, the forest is not in its natural state: The density of the large herbivores was natural until about 1870 but has increased since due to the extirpation of predators and winter feeding1. Consequently, the most herbivore sensitive tree species A. alba has not been able to regenerate since the late 1800s 1 and will disappear if the extant herbivore density continues3. The new growth of other tree species, even P. abies, is also damaged.
Average annual temperature is 3.7°C and annual precipitation approx. 2300 mm; average monthly precipitation year-round is over 100 mm 2. The forest can be classified as temperate rainforest4.

A Conversation with the UN Deputy High Commissioner for Refugees T. Alexander Aleinikoff
Responding to the Syrian Refugee Crisis: A Conversation with T. Alexander Aleinikoff, UN Deputy High Commissioner for Refugees
This panel discussion on unaccompanied minors focuses on a report by Kids in Need of Defense and the Center for Gender & Refugee Studies at UC Hastings College of the Law, whose primary conclusion is that children face a U.S. immigration system created for adults that is not required to consider the child's best interests.
This discussion explores how the 2014 Greek Presidency of the European Union and the United States can work to address the challenges of managing migration while meeting humanitarian obligations and nurturing economic growth.
This panel discussion offers perspectives on border policy management from leading officials in the Canadian, Mexican, and U.S. governments, and showcases the MPI book, "Managing Borders in an Increasingly Borderless World."
In 2012, the United States granted humanitarian protection to more than 87,000 people, with grants of asylum up 19 percent and refugee admissions up 3 percent from a year earlier. This article provides a detailed look at the most recent refugee and asylum data in the United States, including country of origin, top states of settlement, and more.
With more than 2.2 million Syrians who have already sought refuge abroad and more than 4 million others displaced internally, the challenges that the international community are facing from the Syrian humanitarian crisis continue to mount.
This edited volume showcases approaches toward border management in Europe, Central America, and North America, and reflects on the challenges that countries in these regions face in managing their borders. The book brings together perspectives from both sides of the Atlantic on what border security means in practice, the challenges that continue to evade policymakers, and what policies have been the most (and least) successful in achieving "secure" borders.
UN Deputy High Commissioner for Refugees T. Alexander Aleinikoff joined Kathleen Newland for a discussion on the Syrian refugee and internally displaced population, now considered one of the biggest humanitarian emergencies in a generation.
United Nations Deputy High Commissioner for Refugees T. Alexander Aleinikoff talks to MPI about the ongoing Syrian refugee crisis and the role of UNHCR in assisting countries that have taken in large numbers of Syrian refugees. One looming concern: how will UNHCR and other actors change their refugee crisis-response models and mechanisms to adapt to this and future emergencies?

The Book of Ecclesiastes sets out the thoughts of a philosopher who reflects that life is short and contradictory. It was written either during the reign of Solomon (c.970-930BC) or, more probably, some time later during the troubled times of the divided kingdom. Despite his overwhelming sense of gloom, he advises his listeners to work hard and to enjoy God's blessings.
Despite it's 'doom and gloom' reputation, the Book of Ecclesiastes is the origin of several well-known phrases including 'to every thing there is a season' (Eccles 3:1) and 'there's nothing new under the sun' (Eccles 1.9).
The most memorable of the sayings in the Book of Ecclesiastes reflects the many diverse aspects of life and the need to spend each season of life appropriately.
"There is a time for everything, and everything on earth has its special season.
There is a time to cry and a time to laugh.


Displacement, shift, parallax, removal, and mobility are all different forms of dislocation anrepositioning, whether by choice or duress. Human and natural systems are constantly shifting due to survival and struggle processes; Biological, physical, or mental processes; And developmental processes of transformation, reproduction, and liberation; Subjects and objects are formed in processes of ongoing, voluntary and involuntary, movement, where sequences are created and interrupted, and consequently images, artistic actions, and meanings are continuously repositioned. If we look at basic linguistic mechanisms of understanding and producing meaning, the act of displacement sets the original meaning in an ongoing process of concealing and revealing, within a relation of substitution and "placeholding." In this sense, the act of displacement allows us to discover new knowledge about the world and establish a platform for critical inquiry. In the current geopolitical reality, the act of displacement is associated with violence and force, introducing urgent issues of migration, uprooting, expropriation, and gentrification.
There are also spaces were subjected to deterritorialization, becoming anti-places or nonplaces that have no "memory" or "history." In a psychoanalytical context, the term displacement canbe traced back to Freud's theories of subconscious defense mechanisms and technique of dream interpretation and therapy. Building on Freud, Lacan considered the act of displacement to be a seminal principle of the unconscious world, an expression of the insatiable desire for the lack. The worlds of dreams, fantasy, and science fiction also originate in this desire.

APPLE-SWEET POTATO HASH: Don't Wait For Dessert To Enjoy Apples!
Apple season is upon us. While there are a plethora of pie, tart, and bread recipes made from these red beauties, I decided to try something a little different: APPLE-SWEET POTATO HASH. The combination of apples, sweet potatoes, and onions works surprisingly well.
Besides being tasty, it's extremely easy and fast to make. Just chop and fry!
Note: Choose an apple variety that's crisp and tangy such as Gala, Fuji, or Honey Crisp.
In a 12″ nonstick skillet (you can probably use cast iron, although I haven't tried that since my cast iron skillet is only 10″), heat oil over medium/high. Add in onions and sweet potato. Sauté 3 minutes, uncovered, stirring now and then. Cover, decrease heat to low, and cook for 8 minutes. Check to see if sweet potato is easily pierced by a sharp knife. If not, cover and let cook a little longer. When cooked, add in apples, cinnamon, salt, and dill. Increase heat to medium/high and sauté until browned, stirring now and then. Add in lemon juice. Adjust seasoning, if needed.
Cream-Free CAULIFLOWER GRATIN – Rich & Luscious!
As so often happens, I got the idea for CAULIFLOWER GRATIN from America's Test Kitchen. Rather than using cream or milk for the sauce, they pureed some of the cauliflower with water to get the liquid. Brilliant!
However, I felt the overall flavor to be lacking. Cauliflower is a very bland vegetable and needs flavor to come from elsewhere. So I exchanged Pecorino-Romano (which has more of a bite) for the Parmesan ATK used, and added a little Gorgonzola, for good measure. Also, I bumped up the cayenne and added in a couple of scallions. Finally, since my husband complained there wasn't enough topping, I doubled the panko (but not the butter). Perfect!
Note: If you're not familiar with panko, they're puffed bread crumbs. You can find them in the bread crumb section or the Asian section of the market.
Remove and discard all green leaves from cauliflowers. Place heads upside down and, with a sharp knife, cut out cores. Slice off and discard the discolored end of core. Then slice remainder into 1/8″ thick slices. Place cauliflower right side up and slice into 3/4″ slabs. Remove florets from stalks. Cut the stalks into 1/8″ slices and place them with the core pieces. (The stalk and core pieces will become the basis for the sauce.) Into a Dutch oven, place 3 cups of water, 6 T butter (cut into pieces so it melts faster), all the sliced stalks and core pieces, and 2 cups of the florets. Bring to a boil. Place the remaining florets on a large steamer basket. (It's a bit of a balancing act!) When water/core slices comes to a boil, carefully place steamer basket in Dutch oven. (You may need to remove some of the florets before placing the basket in the Dutch oven – they tend to roll – then replace them once the basket is set in place.) You're going to steam the florets and boil the core/stalks at the same time. Cover and let cook until florets are easily pierced with a sharp knife (about 15 minutes). Don't undercook the cauliflower in the hopes it will continue to cook in the oven – it won't.
While cauliflower is cooking, melt 2 T butter in a skillet. Add in the panko, and brown over medium heat, stirring constantly. Don't walk away – the panko will brown in 1-2 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and let cool. When florets are tender, remove steamer basket from Dutch oven and pour cooked florets into a large bowl. Add in the scallions. Check to see if the stalks in the water are tender (mine always are). If not, cover and continue to cook until they are tender. Remove lid and let cool about 10 minutes.
Into a blender place the Gorgonzola, 1/2 cup (1½ oz) Pecorino-Romano, salt, pepper, mustard, nutmeg, and cayenne. Pour in the cooking water & core slices. (If you have a small blender, you may need to do this 2 batches.) Blend 1 minute, until creamy.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and 1 tsp water together. (This will help thicken the sauce a little.) Pour this into the blender, then blend another minute. Pour sauce into the bowl with the florets and gently mix (you don't want to break the florets). Empty mixture into a 9″ x 13″ casserole dish. Into the cooled panko stir remaining Parmesan (1 cup) and chopped parsley. Sprinkle evenly on top of cauliflower. Bake, uncovered, at 400º F for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let set 20-25 minutes before serving.
MASHED SWEET POTATOES WITH PISTACHIOS – A Tasty Combination!
The popularity of sweet potato fries has reminded people that this root vegetable is not just a Thanksgiving side dish. They can be eaten and enjoyed year-round.
The last time I made this quick and easy dish, it occurred to me that pistachio nuts would be an excellent addition. It was! Just make sure you sprinkle them on each serving rather than blending them into the mash – you want the nuts to retain their crispness.
Peel sweet potatoes, then cut into 3/4″ cubes. In a saucepan over low heat, melt together the cream, butter, sugar, and salt. Add in the sweet potatoes and stir to coat cubes. Cover pot and cook over low heat until easily pierced with a fork, stirring now and then. This should take about 17-25 minutes, depending on the type of sweet potato. If the liquid is almost absorbed but the sweet potatoes are still not completely cooked, turn off flame and leave covered to complete cooking.
Mash sweet potatoes until they're the consistency you like. Adjust for seasoning – I usually add another 1/8 tsp salt. If desired (and I do desire!), top with chives and toasted pistachio nuts.


Okay, so this one feels really, really bad. The truth is that there was at least one time where my child did not finish the entire bottle of antibiotics when she was sick. It wasn't exactly intentional but it was definitely my fault.
I left the bottle in someone else's fridge and was so overwhelmed with housework and cleaning sickness off of everything that I never picked it up. At that point, my kid was already better and there was only one more day of medicine left in the bottle.
I was definitely worried something bad would happen or that my child might grow a second head because I know how important it is to finish the entire bottle of antibiotics according to the doctors.
Confession: I was too damn lazy to drive over and pick up the bottle. Total mom fail.
I'm sure someone reading this right now has dealt with or knows someone who has dealt with nighttime potty training.
Turns out, for my child, daytime potty training was a breeze compared to using the toilet in the middle of the night or holding in her bladder all night long.
When my child was 4 years old, I felt a societal pressure to get her off the nighttime pull-ups addiction.
I tried the whole getting up in the middle of the night to wake her up and make her pee thing. That didn't work. She kept peeing on herself for weeks. I was done. I decided she wasn't ready and I was dead tired.
So I put her back in pull-ups because I have enough laundry to do already.
Confession: I don't feel guilty about this one at all. I maintain that my child wasn't ready yet to stay dry all night and she is now actually starting to get up in the night and do it herself.
Is this something other moms do too? Is it just me who has always felt I have to immediately throw worn socks in the laundry basket the minute they're taken off? Sometimes they're not even that dirty!
Well, one day I was very behind on laundry which is basically my story every day now so it's not really earth-shattering news.
So, I put yesterday's socks on my child before school.
Did I get struck down by lightening? Nope. Did my child suffer in any way or smell bad at school? Not that I know of.
Confession: I should do this more often.
This one may be a bit more familiar to some moms and perhaps a little less taboo.
Having a child that eats well is a big deal to me. And I do have a child that eats well. She loves most vegetables and has a pretty balanced diet. She's open to trying new foods which is a MASSIVELY big deal in parenting.
During an average day, I have things I want to do and I often get overwhelmed from being pulled in 10 different directions. So, sometimes I give my kid a ring pop or a bag of candy to keep her quiet while I do the things I want to do, like make customer calls for our business, write, or take a shower.
My child has been to the dentist and her teeth are healthy. I do feel bad about sometimes using candy as a distraction. But not that bad.
Confession: If my child brushes her teeth every day and I get things done, I give myself a pass.
"Mommy just has to go clean something upstairs, I'll be right back!"
This lie is my favorite. It usually means I'm upstairs for about half an hour checking my phone or finally shaving my legs. I might even put some makeup on if I'm feeling bold.
I lie all the time. And it's usually for selfish reasons to do something for me. If I say I'm leaving to do a specific chore upstairs, like laundry or cleaning something, I don't tend to get followed.
Eventually, I get found out and caught, but not before I can do something sinful like eat a snack or look at Instagram.
Confession: It's adult survival mode - what can I say?

Part 8: Putting it into Practice
Advice on how to read our advice
by 80000_Hours14 min read15th Nov 2019No comments
80,000 HoursCommunity
We've been wrong before, and we'll be wrong again
Many of the questions we tackle are a matter of balance, and different people will benefit from considering opposing messages
Personal fit matters, so focus more on strategies than simple answers
Older articles on the site may not represent our current views, so check the publication date
There are disagreements within the team
Our advice is aimed at a particular audience
Treat doing good as just one important goal
Play the long game and aim for steady progress
This is a linkpost for https://80000hours.org/articles/advice-on-how-to-read-our-advice/
We've found that readers sometimes interpret or apply our advice in ways we didn't anticipate and wouldn't exactly recommend. That's hard to avoid when you're writing for a range of people with different personalities and initial views.
To help get on the same page, here's some advice about our advice, for those about to launch into reading our site.
We want our writing to inform people's views, but only in proportion to the likelihood that we're actually right. So we need to make sure you have a balanced perspective on how compelling the evidence is for the different claims we make on the site, and how much weight to put on our advice in your situation.
What follows is a list of points to bear in mind when reading our site, and some thoughts on how to avoid the communication problems we face.
We still have a lot to learn about how people can best have a positive impact with their careers. This means, unfortunately, that we make mistakes and change our advice over time. And this means that in a couple of years, we'll no longer stand by some of the claims we make today.
Our positions can change because the world changes — for instance, a problem that was more pressing in the past can receive lots of attention and become less pressing over time. Our positions can also change as we learn more — for instance, we weren't aware of the arguments for the importance of AI policy five years ago, so we didn't feature that path as prominently back then.
We also simply make mistakes in our analysis or communication. You can see some examples of mistakes we made in the past here.
We do our best to check our positions and communicate our confidence in them, and have spent over eight years thinking about how individuals can maximise the impact of their careers. This means that we think our advice is worth considering if you share our aims of making the world a better place.
However, the topic of how to best have an impact with your career is extremely complex and interdisciplinary, and compared to the attention it warrants, has hardly been explored — we're still at the very beginning of our understanding. For these reasons our positions sometimes change within a matter of years. It also means that it's hard to ever be more than about 70% confident in our answers.
For these reasons, we aim for our views to be taken seriously, but never to be acted on unquestioningly. So as you read, you might try to strike a balance between what you previously thought, what other advisors say, and what we think, depending on how strong you find the empirical and theoretical evidence for each position.
Some job seekers are overconfident in their chances of success. It's often useful for them to spend more time coming up with good back-up options. Other job seekers are underconfident. It would be useful for them to consider some more ambitious or risky options. This makes it difficult for us to strike a balance between encouraging caution and inspiring people to aim higher.
More broadly, many questions in career strategy come down to having a balance between different considerations. For instance, it's usually both important to try to gain transferable career capital (for flexibility) and to work towards specific opportunities to have an impact. Some readers focus too much on transferable career capital, and would be best served by spending more time thinking about how to aim at a particular pathway, whereas others are overlooking it to the detriment of their long-term impact.
When it comes to issues like these, we aim to explain the underlying tradeoffs. For instance, we try to talk through how to work out how highly to prioritise transferable career capital compared to other factors. This is much harder to communicate than a simple message like "focus more on career capital", but any simplified message like that would mislead a substantial fraction of our readers.
We think the best way for us to handle these situations is to try to cover both sides of an issue, and help people make up their own minds. For instance, we encourage people to both make applications to 'stretch' options, which they think they're unlikely to get, and to prepare 'back-up' options. The hope is this should work out well, whether someone is currently too ambitious, or not ambitious enough.
As a reader, we urge you to bear this problem in mind. Try to work out which side you currently fall on, and in which direction you might need to correct.
This often comes up when we announce changes in our advice. For example, early on we heavily emphasized earning to give (taking a higher earning job in order to donate more to effective charities). We think it's the best option for fewer people than we did before, and that some people overrate it due to our old advice. We'd like to tell these readers why we changed our mind and expose them to arguments for leaving earning to give.
On the other hand, earning to give is a counterintuitive way to make the world a better place and most people who haven't read our work before haven't encountered the arguments in its favour. We still think it's the top option for some readers.
We'd like to convince our longtime readers to consider options outside of earning to give while introducing newer readers to the idea that earning to give is a surprisingly effective way to do good. Unfortunately, it can be hard to accurately convey both messages at the same time and we sometimes fail to hit the balance right, leading one message to dominate.
Another example: while most people should probably think more about how they can use their career to help solve global challenges, if you're already an enthusiastic seeker of advice on that topic, it might be most important for you to focus a bit more on taking care of your personal needs to avoid burning out.
You can find some more examples, and discussion of this general problem, in "Should you reverse any advice you hear?"
As the previous section shows, much career advice can't be applied universally.
Besides many questions being a matter of balance, another challenge is that a person's specific skills and situation play a major role in which options they should focus on, and so if we say a path is a promising way to make a difference, that doesn't mean that it's a promising option for you personally.
Even if we think career path A is currently a higher priority than career path B, there are almost always plenty of people who could succeed at A but ought to choose B instead. The most important factors for any given career decision are often the idiosyncratic ones: not just which organisation you're considering or the seniority of the role, but also the room for advancement in your particular position, whether there are opportunities to truly excel and impress others, whether your supervisor would be a good mentor, and so on.
Similarly, your personal fit for a particular position is incredibly important: if you might be better at path B than path A, that can easily make path B best for you. No matter how useful it would be to be a Chinese diplomat, that won't help you plan your career if you were born in Germany.
This means our advice can't offer a ranked list of 'The Best Careers' that is true for everyone. But unfortunately, when we talk about specific career paths, this is much more concrete and memorable than talking about the underlying principles, so it's easy to overweight their significance.
Rather, we think you should use the options we talk about as a way to generate ideas. The aim is to come up with your own personal short-list of promising options, and then to narrow that down to find the best option for you.
To help you do this, we also provide decision-making advice and a step-by-step process at the end of the key ideas series. These act as a checklist to help you think through your own decisions. We also aim to emphasise the importance of personal fit. Though as we say, this content often gets neglected and is harder to apply than a concrete career suggestion.
A related problem is that there are many career paths we haven't yet had time to think about or consider, and by leaving these out, we sometimes (unintentionally) give the impression that we don't think they're promising.
And of course there are also many paths that can make sense for an individual, but wouldn't make sense for our audience as a whole. We don't write about these options, which can give the impression we don't think they're promising.
For instance, we encountered a magician who had a realistic chance of landing a national-level TV show, but was considering working in consulting otherwise, in part due to our articles on consulting. In that case, the magician path seemed to us like a better way to try to gain career capital, though we're not planning to list 'magician' as a recommended career path any time soon.
Again, this means that, as a reader, the challenge is to think about the options that are open to you individually, rather than only focus on the specific paths we've been able to review and discuss so far. We hope that our articles on decision-making will be helpful in generating those and comparing amongst them.
One possible solution to the problem of different roles being relevant to different people is to try to flag which article is relevant to which type of person. We do this to some extent, but we haven't mastered it, because it's often very challenging to know what makes someone a great fit for a career in the first place. We don't want to mistakenly put off a group who could have used our advice. Our hope is that as our research advances we'll be in a better position to add this kind of detail.
You can read more about the idea of a personal list, and challenges with communicating our ideas here. Some of these challenges make it hard to give easy-to-absorb advice in general. You can read more about the problem in the essay Against Advice by Agnes Callard. This is one reason why we aim to supplement our online content with one-on-one advice, even though it's much more expensive.
As we noted earlier, our positions change over time. As a result, the articles we wrote in the past are usually different than what we would say if we were writing about those topics today.
We have hundreds of pages of content but only two or three people who work on research, which makes it challenging to keep everything up to date.
We aim to add warnings to articles that we feel no longer fully reflect our views. We've not always done a good job of this in the past, but we're trying to be more proactive going forward.
As a reader, we'd appreciate if you could bear in mind that the older an article is, the less likely it is to reflect our views today.
If there's a conflict between two articles on our site, it's more likely we'll agree with the newer one. Our aim going forward is that the key ideas cover page will be the canonical description of what we think.
If you do find a conflict, please message us at info at 80000hours.org.
We now have over ten staff members, who have a range of opinions and experiences of the world.
As a result, there's a diversity of opinion among the 80,000 Hours team about what problems are most pressing, the most promising ways to solve them, and many other questions as well. We think this is really useful: maintaining a variety of perspectives on the team ensures claims get challenged and we don't become intellectually lazy.
When writing articles, we try to discuss and resolve disagreements, but that doesn't always work. We then have to decide between cutting the relevant section, presenting multiple views, or going with the primary author of the piece.
Core articles, such as the key ideas page usually give views almost all of us agree on. On the other extreme, off-the-cuff comments from Rob on The 80,000 Hours Podcast are often his personal views and nothing more.
While it's natural to talk about 'the 80,000 Hours position' on a topic, sometimes what you read only reflects the considered views of one or two team members.
If two of our articles seem to disagree, it may simply reflect a difference of opinion between the authors.
We aim our advice at people with an undergraduate or postgraduate degree, who want to make impartial positive impact the main focus of their careers, especially with a focus on the global problems that we most recommend.
We aim our advice primarily at those who live in rich, English-speaking countries: especially the USA and UK.
We also aim our advice at those who want to take an especially analytical approach to doing good.
Some of our advice, such as our list of priority paths, is aimed in particular at those who are unusually ambitious and high-achieving. In general, the more similar you are to our core audience, the more applicable the advice will be.
That's not to say our advice won't be useful if you don't fit our core audience perfectly. Indeed, many of the questions we discuss, such as which global problems are most pressing, are relevant to anyone who wants to do good in an impartial way. It's just that you need to be more cautious about what applies, especially when our advice gets to the level of discussing specific options and actions, rather than general processes for thinking through strategic considerations and making decisions.
Many people are not in a position to focus their attention on solving big global problems. And that's fine. If you are in that fortunate position though, then we hope 80,000 Hours can help.
Attempting to maximise your contribution to the world's most pressing problems is an exciting and worthwhile challenge, but there's always more that can be done, which makes it easy to get overwhelmed. Figuring out your best option requires confronting some of the biggest questions out there. It's normal to feel overwhelmed.
80,000 Hours is primarily about how to maximise your impact, rather than how to live a good life all considered. This can make it seem like we don't care about other goals, and recommend our readers focus on doing good to the exclusion of everything else.
However, most of the team see having a positive impact as just one important goal among several in our lives. This means we'll often do things that aren't optimal from the perspective of doing good, and we think that's fine.
As an aside, even if your only aim were to maximise your impact, then you'll still need to find a path that's sustainable, and to take care of yourself.
When people first encounter these ideas, it often takes them several years to work out how to apply them to their own lives. There is a lot to digest, career decisions often require months of thinking, and it can take a while for the right opportunities to come along. If you're not sure how to contribute right now, or don't feel able to, that's normal. Focus on investing in yourself, learning more, taking small steps, and you'll find yourself in a better position in the future.
In pursuing a better career, it can also be easy to become a perfectionist and never feel satisfied. Bear in mind that you have limited time to make decisions, and most of us need to cross the river by feeling the stones. Aim to find the best next step you can given your constraints, rather than the (unknowable & unattainable) perfect option.
It can also be easy to compare yourself to others; but how much impact other people have isn't relevant to your decisions, or how you should feel about yourself. There will always be someone having more impact than you (with only one exception). What matters is that you're improving and fulfilling your potential.
How to best choose a career with positive impact is a complex topic, and it's also difficult to communicate about, and apply to individual situations.
We do our best to highlight ideas we think will be useful to at least some of our audience without being detrimental to others, in a format that lots of people can use — but we don't always get it right.
We hope that by pointing out these challenges for all our readers to bear in mind, it will make our content more useful.

Buena Vista Games absorbs one developer while starting up another stocked with ex-EA designers.
Buena Vista Games, a Walt Disney unit, has acquired Avalanche Software, as the entertainment giant delves deeper into the games business. Buena Vista Games also unveiled a new studio that's stocked with former Electronic Arts developers who will create action and adventure games for consoles.
These moves, announced Tuesday, come as a number of other players are bolstering their competitive edges and as the popularity of games is rising. "Avalanche Software ... is a perfect fit for our Disney-based franchises," Graham Hopper, Buena Vista's general manager, said in a statement.
Avalanche, which created such games as Tak and the Power of Juju, is also developing Disney's Chicken Little video games. Disney plans to release its Chicken Little movie in November.
Avalanche, which is 10 years old and has more than 100 artists, programmers, and game designers, will operate as a division of Buena Vista Games and will remain housed in Salt Lake City. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Buena Vista, meanwhile, has also opened a new game development studio in Vancouver, British Columbia, that will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary. The studio is led by a number of former Electronic Arts developers who were heavily involved in EA's NBA Street and Def Jam games. It has about 20 game developers on staff, so far.

It is cheaper than actually studying abroad because everything is done online.

In the more than six decades since its founding, the Aspen Institute has grown and evolved in many directions, but it has always held fast to its reputation as the place where policymakers, writers, artists, executives and members of the public can come together to explore the values underpinning society. That reputation, though, is incomplete. From the beginning, the Institute has been driven by a desire to both convene and have real-world impact.
This desire stems from founder Walter Paepcke's focus on the "good society"—a concept that still lies at the heart of the Institute. The "good society" is not some final destination. Instead, it is an ideal, an aspiration—a continual striving for improvement, individually and collectively, driven by both the ideas we explore and the actions we take.

Q: Get TextBox value in to ToolTip title i'm new to front-end technologies.i need to get TextBox value into the Tool-tip.in code TextBox max length is 30.but in textBox area not fit to that characters length.then need to decide using ToolTip and hover over the partially display value.
following is my code
                   <Tooltip title={########}>
                    <input
                      type="text"
                      maxLength="30"
                      name="displayName"
                      placeholder=""
                      onChange={displayNameChange.bind(this, f)}
                      className="form-control input-display-name"
                    />
                    </Tooltip>

need to get that textBox value in to title={########}.
Appreciate your help.
thanks,

A: You can try following approach:

*

*Create a stateful component where value of input will be held in state.

*On change of value, update the value in state.

*Now you can use this state property to show tooltip.

As an add on, you can try following as well:

*

*Pass a max length property that would fit in a textbox.

*If value exceeds, show tooltip

*Else dont show.

This will reduce redundant information.
Following is a sample: JSFiddle
const Tooltip = (props) => {
    const [ inputValue, setInputValue ] = useState('');

  function handleKeyup(event) {
    setInputValue( event.target.value );
  }

  return (
    <div title={ inputValue.length > props.visibleLen ? inputValue : null }>
      <input value={inputValue} onChange={ handleKeyup } />
    </div>
  )
}

A: Use state in your app to achieve this
constructor(props){
  super(props)
  this.state = {
     inputValue : ''
  }
}

<Tooltip title={this.state.inputValue}>
    <input
    type="text"
    maxLength="30"
    name="displayName"
    placeholder=""
    onChange={this.displayNameChange}
    className="form-control input-display-name"
    value={this.state.inputValue}
    />
</Tooltip>

displayNameChange = (e) =>{
   this.setState({
      inputValue:e.target.value
   })
}

All right, I'll risk a review myself, since I can't seem to find one. Everyone knows this song. If you don't by chance happen to hear it over daytime Moscow FM radio stations on sunny days, you can listen to it here with a Real Player. It's the ultimate, typical Bravo, with that same oldie rockabilly motif, the harmonica and everything else you can expect. But it's the ecstatically melancholy chorus that's really catchy, whether you like Bravo or not, the one so well undermined by the harmonica: I want to sing like the wind, and fly above the earth. But the road into the clouds is so high, and so light....

Подробности из жизни:
The story of Bravo began in 1983 when Yevgenii Khavtan, then a first year student of the Moscow Institute of Railroad Transportation Engineering, arrived for an audition to the musicians of the group Postscriptum, then led by Garik Sukachev. The musicians didn't really make any impression on Khavtan, and he didn't make any impression on them. The only person that interested Khavtan then was the drummer Pavel Kusin, who by that point already played "rather energetically and very masterfully." But the "union" still took place. Yevgenii tried to lead the group away from the style they had adopted: from one that combined art-rock and hard-rock to something that was, in his opinion, more progressive. Moreover, the new guitarist didn't like the bass player, and soon Sergei Britchenkov (author of the text for the song "I Believe") was replaced by bass-guitarist Karen Sarkisov, whom Khavtan had brought in himself. For a short time the new ensemble (Garik Sukachev, Yevgenii Khavtan,…

Maritime firm Intermarine UK is driving national interest in South Dorset's marine and engineering sectors after visiting the Minister for Business and Industry Richard Harrington MP in the House of Commons.
Inter Marine Group President Slawomir Kalicki met with Mr Harrington together with South Dorset MP Richard Drax who set up the meeting. Mr Kalicki said the meeting covered key local issues with the parliamentary undersecretary including infrastructure, investment, skills and training, job creation and funding.
Mr Kalicki said he briefed Mr Harrington on how Intermarine UK is a UK registered subsidiary company of the Gdynia, Poland headquartered Inter Marine Group. He explained how Intermarine UK is making a major commitment to Britain and the Dorset region after signing a 20-year lease and relocating its UK head office from Bridgend to Portland Port. The move is set to generate 60 new jobs for local people in the next two years. Mr Kalicki added the company had already won £800,000 of pipe system orders from a UK shipyard.
"The minister welcomed our investment in South Dorset and expressed his pleasure in seeing an international engineering firm offering skilled, long-term employment for the region," he said. "He also emphasised major opportunities in industry around Portland Port aside from maritime, including petrochemical, civil engineering and nuclear. These are key target markets for Intermarine UK as we look to expand our footprint in the region in the coming months and years.
Mr Drax said the visit was important to raise awareness of Intermarine UK and Portland Port operations at minister level.
Intermarine UK has invested six-figure sums into new equipment at its Portland operation including bending machines, welding sets, CNC plasma machines and laser cutters. It focusses on delivering fabrication, welding and electrical services. This includes hull and deck repairs as well as pipe work design, installation and upgrade. It will further offer mechanical services including pump and valve overhauls and engine room upgrades.

Is Ketamine Rehab Aftercare Necessary?
Ketamine addiction can cause lingering and negatively impactful consequences like cognitive impairment and other neural changes, as well as physical issues like urinary tract damage. Additionally, long-term ketamine abuse has been linked to depression and psychosis.
The consequences mentioned above require a stage-by-stage treatment and continuing care program from rehab to community living.
Aftercare is the first structured plan of treatment and support following a rehab stay.
The goal of aftercare is relapse prevention.
Research shows that aftercare greatly increases the length of successful abstinence after matriculation from a rehab program. Consequently, community engagement is significantly more successful.
Ketamine is a highly addictive drug with severe health risks. The most effective treatment plan occurs across stages of ketamine addiction recovery because the relapse potential is high. An extended care process enables one to address the many life realms that have been affected by ketamine addiction. These include physical, psychological, behavioral, familial, social, legal and occupational or academic functioning.
Addiction is a chronic condition and relapse occurs just as it does in other chronic illnesses.For example, the relapse rate for addiction (40-60%) is within the range of relapse rates in asthma (50-70%), diabetes (30-50%) and hypertension (50-70%). Unfortunately, many in recovery feel that relapse is an indication of personal failure or one's inability to recover. On the contrary, relapse should be viewed as a temporary setback, and an indication that renewed recovery efforts are needed. Just as chronic illnesses persist, so must recovery efforts. Success comes with persistence, use of appropriate levels of care, maintaining a good relapse prevention plan and social recovery support.
Sustaining recovery from ketamine use requires an individualized and comprehensive relapse prevention plan targeting the negative effects of use. This can include managing triggers and cravings, mental health symptoms, and self-sabotaging behaviors as well as re-establishing relationships and a healthy, productive lifestyle.
Aftercare for ketamine addiction is a recommended stage of relapse prevention. If you would like more information about ketamine treatment programs, you can call 1-888-993-3112Who Answers? at any time to consult with an addiction treatment support team member.
Continuing care is ongoing support for abstinence from ketamine. It extends the treatment process over time in order to ease one into a ketamine-free life.
Individual and group counseling for the support of recovery efforts.
Learning and practicing coping skills for stress.
Support for maintaining independent living.
Obtaining needed medical and psychiatric care.
Managing problem behavior that leads to ketamine use is also a significant part of aftercare. Impulsivity and risk-taking behavior is addressed by redirecting choices toward positive and healthy behavior.
Aftercare in which 12-Step participation is encouraged and supported may be very effective for those recovering from ketamine addiction. 12-Step programs are free and widely available community resources.
Participation in these programs dramatically increases social support for recovery. 12-Step Facilitation Treatment provides in-depth exposure to the program's concepts for some weeks after rehab.
Meeting attendance, along with education and encouragement, best ensure good engagement in the programs and link newly sober individuals with a valuable community resource.
This transitional step to a ketamine-free lifestyle from later stages of treatment significantly extends abstinence time. Participants enter 12-Step programs at an advantage, aware of 12-Step principles.
Ketamine addiction can cause health complications that require continuing care. These include care for any physical problems resulting from ketamine toxicity.
It is not uncommon to need treatment for GI, bladder and kidney issues.
Additionally, ketamine use can cause persistent psychiatric symptoms requiring care.
Anti-depressants to improve mood and decrease anxiety.
Ketamine has anti-depressant properties, and research has stipulated that ketamine users develop dependence as a way of self-medication depressive symptoms.
Therefore, any antidepressants will be prescribed with caution, after a full assessment of the cognitive effects of ketamine and underlying causes of use in the patient.
Mood stabilizers to manage impulsivity and mood swings.
Antipsychotics for agitation and to ease any persisting hallucinations or delusions.
Again, ketamine tends to exacerbate psychosis and schizophrenia type symptoms, so anti-psychotics will be prescribed with caution, considering the individuals unique use profile and adjunct difficulties.
Sober living and therapeutic community living greatly enhance the chances of remaining ketamine-free. They are 'step down' options from intensive treatment in a rehab facility.
Residents in both continue their recovery momentum with continuing support and services while preparing for a more independent substance-free lifestyle.
Research shows that people who participate in such programs dramatically reduce their chances of relapse.
Further, due to the significant impairment of ketamine on cognition, including working and episodic memory, a sober living arrangement may provide the structure and functionality to help ease ketamine dependent individuals back into the stress of society.
Immediately returning to independent living after rehab places some individuals at significant risk. If you or a loved one is preparing to re-enter the community from rehab, it is recommended that you consider these options. You can call 1-888-993-3112Who Answers? 24 for more substance abuse treatment information.
Contingency management (CM) is a highly effective treatment method in ketamine addiction recovery. It is a behavioral control technique that rewards positive behavior and shapes a recovery-based lifestyle. CM is typically used in conjunction with other modalities.
Some examples of CM include receiving vouchers when drug screens are clean, or when recommended treatment sessions have been attended.
Rewards for participation in community activities, skill building classes and recommended medical care appointments can also be given.
Such programs are very successful and have shown to increase treatment participation, increase housing stability and dramatically improve poor health.
Loneliness and isolation significantly increases rates of relapse.
Consequently, a good recovery-focused support system is vital in ketamine recovery.
Emotional support, opportunities to socialize, have meaningful relationships and a sense of belonging, are significant in relapse prevention.
It is often difficult to support another's recovery and relapses do occur. Family and friends need to enhance self-care, seek addiction education and help when needed.

GENTRI Shares Touching New Video For Little Drummer Boy
Young Woman Begins Singing As Tom Jones Grabs Hand For Dirty Dancing Hit That Brings Down The House
world by FaithTap Staff
inspire by Cailyn Finkel 11/26/2018
The men of GENTRI, The Gentlemen Trio, are back and this time they're ready to bring us to tears with their heartwarming performance of a classic Christmas tune. They gathered a handful of precious kids in a nearby children's hospital and asked them to be in their video for "Little Drummer Boy."
The video that came from their collaboration is too beautiful for words. There's something about the hope in a child's heart - even during the hardest of times - that can remind us of what's really important this time of year.
Before this talented crossover trio was famous around the world, they were singing in a small production of Les Miserables. The men formed a bond almost immediately - and at the urging of one of their wives, the three became an official group.
Now, they use their voice, faith and friendship to inspire fans. They told the Prelude Press that their message is one of hope and chasing your dreams:
"Everyone has a dream and often times the only thing stopping them from pursuing it is themselves. Life is truly a gift and we should embrace and learn from its challenges and learn to love and enjoy the moments of brilliance. It is a marathon filled with moments of hardship and struggle, triumph and celebration. We hope our music serves as a soundtrack to the lives of those who choose to listen to it - buoying them up when they are struggling and empowering them when they are succeeding...
At the core of what we hope to accomplish with GENTRI is inspire our listeners to become the best they can be regardless of where they are or what they do."
That's exactly what they wanted to accomplish with their video for "Little Drummer Boy." Instead of relying on expensive graphics, editing and mixing, the trio simply walked the halls of a children's hospital.
They knew they didn't need fancy video tools to convey the message of the song - they just needed the love on their hearts and the children's incredible spirit!
GENTRI will never sacrifice their original style for the sake of profits. They know how important it is to honor their morals, telling All Access Music:
"At the core, GENTRI is about inspiring and uplifting others. We use our music as the medium to tell stories that inspire, challenge and motivate listener[s] to live life more fully and to love more deeply. We hope that our authenticity is felt in everything we put out whether it be a video, a recording, or a photo."
We can definitely feel their authenticity in this video. The men stayed true to their hearts and shed light on the meaning behind Christmas: love.
Watch their powerful video for "Little Drummer Boy" below. What an important message this time of year!


Our Video of the Week for this first week of June features another, and first of the well known, designs that took place under the leadership of Alec Issigonis. This is the story of the Morris Minor. Over one-and-a-half million Minors were produced between 1948 and 1972. Initially available only as a two-door saloon and convertible, the range was quickly expanded to include a four-door saloon in 1950, a wood-framed estate (the Traveller) in October 1953, and panel van and pick-up truck variants from May of 1953. It was the first British car to sell over one million units and is considered a classic example of automotive design, as well as typifying "Englishness".
Eric Lord, the director of Morris Motors, said that Lord Nuffield thought that the new Morris Minor looked like a poached egg and that the car was narrow gutted. The people in the department worked through the night and literary cut the car in two down the middle. Then added four inches down the center of the car, this then made all the difference to its appearance. Watch the video and you can see it in the bonnet and also in the front bumper. You will never look at a Morris Minor the same way again.
When the Minor made its depute at Earls Court motor show in October 1948 with a price tag of £358/10's/7d. And this new model was only announced on the eve of the show. By the time Minor finally went out of production, more than 1.3 million had been manufactured. In the years between 1948 and 1972 they were produced in three series: the MM (1948 to 1953), the Series II (1952 to 1956) and finally the 1000 series (1956 to 1971).
If you want to find out more about the Morris company itself and its cars, make sure to check out Morris – The Cars and the Company by Jon Pressnell. To read more about the Morris Minor itself, there is a new book coming out from Veloce Press title Morris Minor: 70 Years on the Road by Ray Newell. We will have more on that book with a full review in the coming weeks.
Note: This article originally in part or total via Wikipedia.
I loved our Traveller. It was a great weekend road trip/car camping/garden center car – after upgrading the engine to a 1380cc, disk brakes and sway bar on the front and a Datsun five speed transmission with taller rear end. All that said – there's no way to make those cars survivable in an accident, especially in competition with the heavy modern reinforced vehicles.

Q: How can I easily identify double-counted records in SQL Server? I have a table with data that looks like this:
CustomerID                                                  | Exception Category

1000                                                         A1
1000                                                         A1
1001                                                         A2
1002                                                         A1
1000                                                         A3
1002                                                         A2
1003                                                         A1

In summary, a customer ID could have, in theory one or more exception labels - across c. 750,000 records,
there are only five exception labels - A1 to A5.
I am trying to summarise the unique IDs falling into each bucket in a summary table, but the issue I have is with double-counting, as the same ID could fulfil the exception requirements for more than one exception, i.e. 1000 is an exception based on A1 as well as A3 criteria, as shown above.
Essentially, I'd like my output to look like this:
CustomerID                                    Exception Class Count    | Exception Category

1000                                                      2               A1
1000                                                      2               A3
1001                                                      1               A2
1002                                                      3               A1
1002                                                      3               A2
1002                                                      3               A3

As an explanation - customer ID 1000 falls into two categories of exceptions - A1 and A3, which is represented in the count(2) and the exceptions follow as individual entries in the third column. As can be seen in the original table, 1000 was marked against A1 twice, because the customer hit that exception category on two different dates - I'm fine for the duplicate row to be removed, and don't care which one gets removed as long as I don't lose the fact that 1000 fulfilled the A1 exception category (at some point in time).
Thanks again!
