You are a narcissist. We all are, to varying degrees. This does not mean that you cannot have a fulfilling relationship, and it certainly doesn't mean that you will be doomed to a lonely life. The good news is that being self-absorbed is common in the teen years through one's 20s, and most of us grow out of it. Susan Krauss Whitbourne, Ph.D., tells us, in her article, "A Day in the Life of a Narcissist" on the "Psychology Today" website, that this behavior begins to diminish as we get older and develop more interpersonal relationships, because our focus becomes more on others than ourselves. If it doesn't, however, you're not doomed -- there are proactive measures you can take to learn how to sympathize and respect your significant other.
Understanding Self-Centeredness
People who are self-centered in their relationships generally suffer from feelings of inadequacy, says Srini Pillay, M.D, in his article, "The Psychology of Selfish Lovers," featured on the "Psychology Today" website. He also tells us that selfish lovers are usually hiding something, often their perceived inadequacy, and they are afraid that giving will reveal their flaws. Self-centeredness is especially common in Western cultures, in which society emphasizes individuality from a young age, as stated by Nicholas Wade in the "New York Times" article, "Is 'Do Unto Others' Written Into Our Genes?"
Stepping Out of Your Bubble
Learning to reduce your selfish nature is not impossible. Plenty of guidelines, many of which you may already know but don't practice, can help. Becoming involved in a spiritual path, such as church, and really becoming invested in the community that it offers can help you to become involved with others. Learn to listen to others in order to build sympathy. Practice counting to 10 before responding to someone when you are chatting with them. This will allow you to think about what the other person just said, and it will give you time to think about how you want to respond.
Finding Balance in a Relationship
As you cultivate your giving side, it is important to maintain balance so that neither person is constantly giving or taking. As you may be experiencing right now, when one person in a relationship is too demanding, the other one may withdraw -- or lash out, creating conflict. On the other hand, when you are too selfless, you eliminate opportunities for your partner to do things for you to make you happy, says Lynn Harris in "Selflessness in Romantic Love," on Match.com. There will always be some element of compromise in any relationship, and it is important to remember that sometimes you will have to give more, but at other times your partner will need to give you more. There should always be a balance, and it is up to you to decide what is healthy for yourself.
When Giving Becomes Martyrdom
If you expect your partner to just know what you want, then you are going to be let down every time. Of course, after you have been with someone for a long time, they will begin to know you and understand you on a level that borders psychic abilities, but that still doesn't mean that you don't have to tell them what you want. As Harris points out, when you don't communicate your wants and needs to your partner, it will lead to disappointment and resentment, because you will blame your partner for not fulfilling you. Selflessness sounds great in a relationship, but when it borders on martyrdom it is actually quite selfish, because you are expecting impossible things from your partner.

A specialist service for children with severe learning needs in south Wales will continue for at least three years.
Parents and staff feared for the future of SenCom when Newport City Council said it planned to pull out in April.
Newport then shelved its plan, but all five councils involved have now said they are committed to SenCom until at least the 2022 council elections.
Dawn Battersby, who cares for her blind grandson Brogan, nine, in Newport, said it was the "biggest sigh of relief".
SenCom helps children who have vision, hearing and communication problems and is jointly funded by Blaenau Gwent, Caerphilly, Newport, Monmouthshire and Torfaen councils.
Charities raised concerns of a "postcode lottery" of provision when Newport council announced plans to pull out of SenCom and create its own team, claiming it would save £250,000 a year.
However, a joint statement issued by the leaders of the five councils - three Labour, one Tory and one independent - said: "We are pleased we are now able to signal our joint commitment to the SenCom service.
"This will end the uncertainty for the children, their families and the staff within the service, who do a fantastic job supporting children and their families."
An external review of SenCom has now been ordered to provide clarity on the "range, volume and impact" of service provision in each local authority.
Newport council leader Debbie Wilcox had suggested a review in February when the council deferred its decision to go it alone, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.
Ms Battersby, whose situation was highlighted by the BBC's Wales Live programme, said she was "delighted" by the news.
"We've had a horrendous six months - not just the parents, but also the staff who were at risk of losing their jobs," she told the BBC.
"To hear that we've now got security for the next three years is by far the biggest sigh of relief that anyone could wish for."


hello! If fish is now zero points on freestyle can I eat a whale? I'm new and I'm hoping someone can help me…I get the freestyle program but I'm confused….is there portion control or not? As a lifetime vegetarian I could eat the free point foods day and night….and not even concern myself with using points. This is crazy how can I lose weight without portion control? Thanks!!
I've been doing weight watchers online since May 2009 and have lost 35 lbs, and am near my goal weight. The online programs works for me, as I am a nibbler, and often lost track of how much I was eating. I have adapted the program to my eating style, and bring portion controlled food to work or when running errands. I eat when I want to, and have added more veggies and fruit to my eating program, so that I can eat all day and (hopefullly) not go over my points values. I always track my points, even when I go way over, meaning I use up weekly points, activity points, and end up in the -60 range! It doesn't matter to me, as this is a lifestyle change, and not a "race to the finish line". I plateaued for about 6 months, but kept up with the program every day, and have just started losing again. It helps me keep track of my goals and accomplishments, and the things that I would like to get better at. Great site, great recipes, and on-line is less expensive than meetings. I can see doing this forever and enjoying it. Give it a try! I was really surprised how wll it has worked, and I have improved my eating habits, and added more exercise to my days. All great changes to make. Make the program your own, and you will succeed!
I did WW 3 times. The first two times, I couldn't believe how fast I lost the weight, but I was also exercising. I was an instructor for many years, and never had to diet, because of all the exercise. The last time I did it, I had knee surgery and was not teaching/exercising, never lost any weight. The points are too hard to count with a busy family, and I would have to make all seperate meals if on the Core. I think it's expensive to pay $15 week to get on the scale. Bottom line….get moving and watch the weight come off.
WW is the most do-able for most people, the most basic, and makes the most sense. I'm not here to tell you it's the only good way, because there are others, but it's the best I've found.
What WW is: A support group that provides a comprehensive list of suggestions coupled with proven science to aid in weight loss. WW is low cost, and can be done in person or on the internet, your choice. You can use the points system, or stick with a list of suggested low-density foods. You can eat whatever you want, just not in large portions, the plan encouraging healthy food choices. It's the only system I've found that allows you to eat whatever you want. If I want that piece of pecan pie, I can eat it.
What WW is not: a gym, personal trainer, a shrink to find out why you binge, a personal assistant to follow you around your daily lives, or a personal chef making sure you eat the right foods. It is not the answer to all your health and fitness needs, nor does it aim to be. They will not nag you to quit smoking or remove the drama or stress from your life that sabotages every diet plan you try. 10 to 14 bucks a week isn't going to solve your life problems.
My story: I went on WW in 2002. In 15 months, I lost 78 pounds. Then I lost my business, and was nearly shot and killed. I hadn't learned to deal with life on life's terms and picked up the fork, my drug of choice, gaining 114 pounds. THEN I nearly had a heart attack in my front yard. Went back to WW, and the weight came off slowly, and I slowly learned how to manage my stress, dealing with things in ways other than binging. I've had some equally devastating things happen since then, including botched surgery that almost killed me, but this time, I've kept off the 60 pounds I've lost…for 3 years. How? I stay sane, I exercise, I have a life outside of my downtown loft and my computer…i.e. friends, concerts, movies, art museums, coffee at sidewalk cafes…you get the idea. And I haven't smoked in 7 years. I hit goal before with smoking and no exercise, quitting a week after I hit goal. In January of this year, I decided to lose the rest. I'm down 16 pounds and 9% body fat, in addition to the chunk of blubber I've kept off for 3 yrs. I run/ walk my doggies 3 miles a day (one is fat and can't keep up with me), and weight train 4 to 5 days a week. And I really enjoy it. My exercise plan is my own personal choice, not dictated by WW, as are all the other changes I've made in my life except food intake…save their great visualizations, and of course they do suggest exercise.
I previously bailed on WW not because of the program, it was because I hadn't dealt with the reason I got fat in the first place. I bailed out the water but never fixed the hole in the boat. The people who fail use their points for junk, are addicted to drama, are depressed and use food as a drug…you guys know. This is where the sword enters our hearts. Before, I blamed diet plans without a good, hard look in the mirror.
Basic weight loss: eat less calories than you burn. Period. WW points you towards healthy choices and teaches you proper portions. It will not prevent you from eating a gallon of ice cream to deal with whatever it is you need to numb. That's on you. I go to group therapy, made some friends, started doing fun things, and started exercising. The ones who fail seem to miss this one. Locked in the house in front of the computer 16 hours a day doesn't cut it.
I've tried Atkins, which nearly killed me…I could go down the line with all the rest of the diets I've been on. They aren't sustainable. Eating the foods I like and minding my portions…that I can live with. Also, I'm a vegetarian and WW allows for that. There are a couple of other good programs out there, but they are harder to stick with due to stricter exercise requirements (and for me eating flesh).
WW should emphasize body fat, some of you are right with that. Myself and many other WW members purchased Tanita scales we use, so it's not an issue to me…I put it in the category of fitness which was my responsibility.
After all you have to do also EXERCISE (but that every diet will tell you !)and not only think the "diet" alone will do the thing. It's all about mind-setting and YOUR commitment to yourself. I lost 10 pounds since 3.November '09 go swimming with a couch, 3x a week for an hour. I never used to do sport! I was a couch potato!!! So if I can do so can you ! :-)Have fun and GOOD LUCK! It works.
I have done WW twice. The first time i lost almost 90 pounds and got pregnant. After the birth of my son i went back on it. I have lost 73 pounds now and it only been 5 months. I dont go to the meeting because im doing it for me. Since i already know how to maintain i just pick a date weigh in that day like if i was goin gto the meetings. I didnt know that WW really worked at first. I have learned that WWW isnt a diet it all about the portion size. Not only im doing point system but im also working out 3 times a week. All i can say is that I LOVE WW!!!!!
i have friends who swear by this diet…while they're ON it. i have an aunt who has dropped 100 pounds…gained it. she's happy with WW…while she's ON it. please people, stop wasting your money and "checking in" at meetings…it's a recipe for cheating. This system may have worked for dieters in the 60's, but we know more now—specifically, the scale doesn't mean as much when you are striving for true fitness. Don't fall in love with the number on the scale and have a body composition that looks like crap. And don't go to meetings when we're in the age of the internet and you can find common interests with like-minded individuals and meet up for support if you so choose–for free! WW is outdated. As for me, I've struggled all my life, but no more. I went to my first WW meeting when I was 15, and then again when I was 20, and 26 having nominal success, feeling ashamed and defeated, and then gaining it all back and more. Afterall people told me I was just a big boned girl. And then when I was 28 years old (5'4 tall, 214 pounds) I discovered Body for Life. I started going to the gym with a friend who was trying to lose baby weight. I didn't really think much of it, but soon I dropped weight, then I started eating 6 times a day, balnaced meals. I found out I had a passion for running, and so I trained for a marathon. Two years later, I ran my first marathon. By that time, I had lost nearly 90 pounds, and 8 dress sizes. I weighed 124 pounds and was a muscular size 4. Currently I've maintained at a size 8 and about 135 pounds (I'm no longer running 20 miles a week). I am in great shape, happy, healthy, and have maintained a healthy weight for 7 years. It's totally possible to completely transform yourself, but you have to look to yourself, not others at meetings. A great support system is at transformation.com. It's part of the Body for Life community. Good luck to everyone out there no matter which plan you choose. Peace.
Very odd, both times on weight watchers i did on my own lost 100 lbs. I think the truth to all programs is being devoted to the life and realizing it is not a quick fix and weight will come back quickly. The new plan makes vegies and fruit available and lean meats. It makes sense. But there is no plan if you do not apply yourself to it that will work just as you found. Body for life did not work for me because i cannot get exercise in great amounts and i would never apply myself to going to a gym when i never did it before. But it works for you.
Where is your meeting schedule?

Q: fortran error backtrace leads to a where loop I am working on a large fortran code and before to compile with fast options (in order to perform test on large database), I usually compile with "warnings" options in order to detect and backtrace all the problems.
So with the gfortran -fbacktrace -ffpe-trap=invalid,zero,overflow,underflow -Wall -fcheck=all -ftrapv -g2 compilation, I get the following error:
Program received signal SIGFPE: Floating-point exception - erroneous arithmetic operation.
Backtrace for this error:
 #0  0x7fec64cdfef7 in ???
 #1  0x7fec64cdf12d in ???
 #2  0x7fec6440e4af in ???
 #3  0x7fec64a200b4 in ???
 #4  0x7fec649dc5ce in ???
 #5  0x4cf93a in __f_mod_MOD
    at /f_mod.f90:132
 #6  0x407d55 in main_loop_
    at main.f90:419
 #7  0x40cf5c in main_prog
    at main.f90:180
 #8  0x40d5d3 in main
    at main.f90:68

And the portion of the code f_mod.f90:132 is containing a where loop:
! Compute s parameter
do i = 1, Imax
   where (dprim .ne. 1.0)
      s(:,:,:, :) = s(:,:,:, :) +vprim(:,:,:, i,:)*dprim(:,:,:, :)*dprim(:,:,:, :)/(1.0 -dprim(:,:,:, :))
   endwhere
enddo

But I do not see any mistake here. All the other locations are the calls of the subroutine leading to this part. And of course, since it is a SIGFPE error, I have to problem at the execution when I compile gfortran -g1. (I use gfortran 6.4.0 on linux)
Moreover, this error appears and disappears with the modifications of completely different part of the code. Thus, the problem comes from this where loop ? Or from somewhere else and the backtrace is wrong ? If it is the case how can I find this mistake?
EDIT:
Since, I can not reproduce this error in a minimal example (they are working), I think that the problem comes for somewhere else. But how to find the problem in a large code ?

A: As the code is dying with a SIGFPE, use each of the individual
possible traps to learn if it is a FE_DIVBYZERO, FE_INVALID,
FE_OVERFLOW, or FE_UNDERFLOW.  If it is an underflow, change
your mask to '1 - dprim .ne. 0'.
PS: Don't use array section notation when a whole array reference
can be used instead.
PPS: You may want to compute dprim*drpim / (1 - dprim) outside
of the do-loop as it is loop invariant.

For centuries tea was the most important drink in the East. There, a few cups of tea every day are regular routine for every child, elderly and people in their prime years. Lately, people from the western world adopt the tea drinking habit as well, some of them are even changing their Starbucks orders with a hot mug full with this aromatic drink. This hot beverage can easily replace your coffee because it causes the same effects of alertness without the drowsy aftereffects. The official drink of the England queen can now earn its place in your kitchen, especially after all studies made to prove its benefits. There are no downsides of drinking tea and whichever is your favorite, you are about to find out which health effects the drink poses on your overall well being.
If you ask real purists, they will tell you that teas derived from the bush Camellia sinensis are the only actual tea. This plant is native to India and China, but today its leafy blossoms and green leaves can be found in every market all around the world. Tea is still the name for many other brews, but black, white and green tea are known to have an abundant antioxidant composition. In Chinese medicine, Green tea was used as a remedy for thousands of years. Green tea is the main medicine for many heart diseases. It's reinforcing the blood vessels, making them relaxed and ready to endure blood pressure changes. The risk of heart attack can be lowered to minimum with regular green tea consumption, because this beverage protects the blood from forming blood clots. It will lower your blood pressure by repressing the angiotensin hormone, which is responsible for a subsequent increase in blood pressure and vasoconstriction. If you were wondering why this type of tea gets all the attention, it's because the antioxidant called epigallocatechin gallate. This type of antioxidant is a 100 times more health promoting than regular vitamin C, 25 times more beneficial than vitamin E and at least twice more powerful and effective than Resveratrol. With its help, DNA damage can be prevented and restored. According to many studies, the broken DNA particles are the main cause of premature aging, tissue damage and many diseases including cancer. Black tea contains more or less the same qualities as green tea. The only difference between the two is the fact that black tea leaves are fermented. That part of the manufacturing process gives this type of tea high caffeine concentration, where one cup of black tea is highly more effective than a cup of coffee. You can use this tea as rinsing water to prevent hair loss. The high level of caffeine blocks the production of DHT hormone, which is responsible for androgenic alopecia, male pattern baldness and other ailments caused by extreme hair follicle sensitivity. White tea on the other hand is unfermented and uncured. From all other teas, this tea is known to have the most powerful anticancer qualities because it's pure and unrefined. Oolong tea, Pu-erh tea and other varieties are also health promoting and cancer preventing, as well as they can help you lose weight and balance cholesterol levels without the use of any medications. Keep in mind that drinking this tea regularly won't make you hunger free, but you can stop starving yourself. Green, black and white teas will promote healthy digestion, fat burning naturally and regular bowel movements. 4 to 6 mugs a day of any of the Camellia sinensis teas can have the same health benefits. The only difference between these teas is in the concentration of properties, its taste and aroma. It is advisable that you don't drink too many cups throughout the day if you already have low blood pressure, because it might make you sleepy. Otherwise, the amino acids found in these teas are not only calming the brain cells and relieving them from stress, but will also help your mind stay alert and focused.
Nettles have a tough exterior, but underneath that stingy surface you will find a full body nostrum. This type of tea is the best choice for pregnant women, because it increases the richness of the breast milk and stimulates its production. It relieves menstrual cramps as well as leg cramps and muscle spasms, because of its high magnesium concentration. Tea made from nettles will boost your blood circulation and promote hair growth. Many organic hair and skin products are made from this plant because it's an excellent skin tonic. In only one nettle leaf there are 17 essential minerals and vitamins, fatty acids and other plant chemicals. In Ayurvedic medicine, this tea is mostly used as inflammatory remedy. If you have respiratory problems, asthma or allergies, drinking this tea will help you calm down the inflammatory issues connected with the ailment. Other than cleaning your kidneys and blood from toxic elements gathered from greasy foods, alcohol and cigarettes, this tea will help you clean your skin too. You can make a tonic and use it to rejuvenate your skin or make a homemade hair growth treatment, but drinking it will perk up your system from the inside out.
You may not need a scientific proof of the peppermint tea benefits because we all know we drink it when we have a stomach ache. The reason why this type of tea relieves stomach pain so quickly is because of the active ingredient, menthol. This ingredient causes antispasmodic effects, which means it helps the muscles and tissues relax. In aromatherapies, the oil made from this herb is used to alleviate the symptoms of headaches and colds, but drinking the tea regularly can have the same effects. Other than pain relief, this tea has antimicrobial, antibacterial and antiseptic potentials, and drinking it during cold winter days can help you avoid catching fever, colds and other bacterial infections. The potent aroma that peppermint tea emits will help you stay focused and alert during difficult errands, like studying, driving at night or working under pressure.
Salvia officinalis is an aromatic herb used therapeutically for thousands of years. Greeks and Romans believed this herb to have magical properties and it is known to Chinese and Arabic medicine for more than 3000 years. This evergreen plant grows during the entire year, it's very easy to cultivate and you can use it in your cooking, as well as to make a cup of tea. You can use not just the leaves but its branches and roots too. Vitamin A, dietary fiber, calcium, potassium and iron are the most important ingredients that will flow thru your body with every cup of sage tea. Calcium promotes healthy bone and tooth structure, while the mineral iron helps the oxygen transfer thru the cells. Potassium will aid in healthy kidney, brain and heart function and vitamin A will make your skin glowing and improve your eyesight. But those are not the final health promoting benefits of this type of tea. A type of oil found in this herb is known to kill bacteria so you can use a sage tea as mouthwash, freshener or tooth cleanser. Its antiseptic and antioxidant qualities can help you fight off coughs and colds, use it as a topical analeptic to heal small abrasions or even prevent excessive sweating and saliva production. Especially during the summer, you can use the sage tea as antiperspirant, because it cleans the perspiring pores. During menopause, this type of tea will be helpful in eliminating cold sweats or can be used to regulate the menstrual flow. The words Salvia officinalis are translated into In "Good Health", and ancient healers used this herb to boost brain power and cure bad moods. Many alternative medicine remedies include this herb in treating Alzheimer's disease because it is known for centuries to clear the mind fog, improve facts and data retainment, stimulate brain activity and clear thinking. In combination with other herbs, sage is prescribed for depression and anxiety.
Another herb that's been used since prehistoric times is chamomile. This tea is known worldwide and its health benefits are medically identified in large quantities. Throughout history, this herb was used orally and topically and today you can find many home remedies using the leaves and blossoms of this plant. Drinking this tea recurrently before bedtime will calm the mind and body, fight insomnia and nightmares. If you live a stressed life and you are constantly under pressure, chamomile tea will lessen the indications of anxiety and unpremeditated panic attacks. The chemical compounds found in chamomile calm the entire body, together with muscles and brain, which will make it the perfect drink after a sweaty workout in the gym. Topically used, this tea is a magical healing tonic for diaper rashes and chicken pox, as well as grownup skin infections like psoriasis and eczema. The used tea bags can be applied to cure skin irritations, like small cuts, burns and wounds. If you suffer from migraines, chamomile tea can be a wonderful remedy but make sure you drink at least one cup a day to prevent the first warning signs.
Another widely spread herbal remedy is the plant ginger. The tea made from its roots has many analgesic, antiseptic, anti fungal and hypotensive qualities. Most people frequently drink digestive after a greasy meal, but ginger tea is far more effective and health promoting. Alcohol after a meal causes a warm feeling in the stomach, but rather than promoting the release of stomach acids that dissolve the food like ginger, it just tires our belly out. Ginger tea is mostly recommended for successfully preventing nausea and vomiting during long distance travel. The same properties make this tea the best morning sickness remedy too. The hot beverage made from the ginger root will boost your entire immune system, energize you during a hard day at the office by stimulating the blood circulation. This potent root was used as an additional medicine for curing many eating disorders, because it stimulates a healthy appetite. Herbalists also prescribe ginger tea when one's fighting a fever because it promotes sweating, thus the bacteria will be flushed out of the system as soon as possible. Avoid drinking this tea before going to bed because it may make you fidgety and wide awake. It's best to be consumed when you start losing energy in the middle of the day, before or after physical exercise.
In conventional medicine, the Echinacea root, flowers and leaves are used in the making of many medications. The recovery time for common cold can be reduced twice if the patient drinks Echinacea tea as part of the treatment. Most respiratory infections, runny nose and other cold symptoms can be prevented, diminished and cured with the help of this herb. It holds powerful antiseptic and anti fungal properties. That is why in Ayurvedic medicine recommend it for treating genital herpes and treating yeast infections, as well as blood infections, syphilis and malaria. Menopause symptoms can also be reduced with regular intake of this herbal tea, like chronic fatigue, cramps, dizziness and rheumatism. Cold bandages soaked in Echinacea are used in Eastern medicine to treat any kind of skin injuries, from psoriasis, ulcers and herpes's to UV radiation damage. You can find many supplements of this herb on the market but not all of them will contain parts of the actual Echinacea plant. It will be best to buy organic tea from trusted manufacturers.
There are over 200 different species of the hibiscus plant, but what we actually buy on the market are Hibiscus sabdariffa blossoms. North Africa, the Caribbean, Latin America and Thailand are the places where this plant grows in abundance. Ancient Egyptians drank this cooling elixir to keep their temperature balanced under the hot desert sun and toast their wedding ceremonies with a goblet of Echinacea tea. In China, Malasia, Thailand and other Asian countries this herb together with ginger is used as a natural remedy against high cholesterol. Unlike other herbal teas, the Echinacea flower produces quite a sugary taste and can replace yours and your kids juice, Coca Cola and water intake thru the day. This type of tea is safe for kids and teenagers even when consumed in large amounts, because it's caffeine free. It will supply your body with reasonably high amount of vitamin C, to protect you from colds, infections and poor immune defense. If you want to kick it up a notch, you can try sorrel tea and red zinger tea, which also contain hibiscus flowers and you can enjoy more than few health benefits, aromas and flavors.
A plant that is medically tested for a high dose of vitamin C is the rose hip bush. The best way to make sure you get the optimal natural vitamin C from this plant is to plant it yourself in your garden, or at least buy the product sun dried. Most manufacturers that produce rose hip tea bags destroy the vitamin C naturally found in this plant and replace it with artificial laboratory made vitamins. The rose hip bush does not require a lot of attention and maintenance, and in exchange you can make your own rose hip tea full with antioxidants, vitamins, iron and calcium. Other than boosting your immune system and energizing you when needed, this type of tea is a natural diuretic. With regular and proper use of rose hip tea you can clean your body of toxins, rejuvenate your skin and repair your damaged hair follicles. Every cup of this tea will boost the production of stomach acids, remedying indigestion problems like diarrhea, colic, meteorism, and other digestive absorption related problems.
Although all teas we've mentioned above carry enormous healing properties, excessive tea drinking can lead to several health complications. Before you start drinking more than 3 cups of any organic tea, make sure your body can handle it. If the description says the tea contains chemicals that lower blood pressure, make sure you don't mess up the dose and reverse the effects. Every tea has its benefits but drinking more than your body can handle will cause new health problems. Especially if you are pregnant, nursing or already diagnosed with allergies or any other disease. Talk to your doctor about the normal tea dosage before you start drinking it and he will tell you how much you need to achieve the optimum results. Avoid buying cheap tea bags at any cost. They contain fluoride, a mineral that if consumed in large amounts can trigger the condition fluorosis. Tooth and bone decay are the result of this condition, as well as bone discoloration, stiffness and pain. Most herbs don't require a lot of care and they can be easily cultivated in your backyard, garden or balcony. Plus, by gardening your own herbs you will have the chance to drink the safest and most organic teas and use the most natural spices in your kitchen.

Opinion Columnists 25 Nov 2020 Abhijit Bhattacharyya | RECP: Why India must be firm on staying out
Abhijit Bhattacharyya | RECP: Why India must be firm on staying out
Abhijit Bhattacharyya
The writer is an alumnus of the National Defence College, and the author of China in India.
What India has done about the RCEP is perfect. It couldn't be otherwise
The RCEP that was signed into existence in Hanoi on November 15 can't be seen in isolation as a one-time landmark wishlist for commerce, trade, investment or collective prosperity, etc.
The "real" world of trade, commerce and diplomacy fructify on the facts. Thus, the 15-nation Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), including the 10-nation Asean bloc from Southeast Asia, which came into being in mid-November, can also be evaluated only on the facts, not on any "regret", "shock" or "surprise". When a former Indian commerce minister and a former foreign secretary express anguish over New Delhi committing a "historical blunder", which they feel would negatively impact the nation's progress and prosperity and lead to "international isolation" diplomatically, one needs a scrutiny of the facts.
Why are we so hallucinating? India is a recurring, chronic laggard with the 15-member RCEP club -- except for Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and the Philippines, India's trade balance with the other 11 RCEP states is negative. And while India's total trade surplus with these four Asean countries is just $1,589.26 billion, the bilateral trade loss from the other 11 RCEP states -- Australia, Brunei, China, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, Vietnam and New Zealand -- stands at a staggering $99,870.87 billion. How then, with which magic wand, can India be guided to the path of profit and prosperity in the Chinese-run RCEP? One wonders!
Can't we see how all these countries, which till recently had an independent identity and freedom of choice and action in the 10-nation Asean bloc, by one stroke of the pen on Sunday, November 15, in Hanoi, virtually lost all their panache, being subsumed by the RCEP – subject to the overlordship of the Communist Party of China, operating from Beijing! All in the name of "free trade", "ease of doing business", "free flow of goods", "tariff-free", "common prosperity" and "shared (not shredded) goals"?
Contextually, however, the RCEP that was signed into existence in Hanoi on November 15 can't be seen in isolation as a one-time landmark wishlist for commerce, trade, investment or collective prosperity, etc. Far from it. It is born out of the acute inferiority-cum-insecurity complex of the overlord of Beijing, President-for-life Xi Jinping, who has been left badly shaken by the fate of America's outgoing President Donald Trump. But the maverick US leader is still in office till noon on January 20, 2021, and the autocrat that he is, President Xi is not quite certain what steps his American counterpart may take against China in his few remaining weeks. That is the fear of the unknown. Therefore, he is searching for security, and the RCEP, he hopes, will fulfil that need.
The Communist Party of China's $14 trillion economy needs a protective screen of allies urgently, thus the efforts in the past few years towards the Belt and Road Initiative and offshoots like the CPEC. The Chinese-sponsored banks have for long been trying to convince its partners and client states to replace the use of the US dollar with the Chinese yuan (renminbi), which has found few takers. Will it have better luck with the "RCEP Common Market"? If its members agree to use the Chinese currency for its trade, Beijing's road to numero uno status would get easier. No one would miss the symbolism.
After afflicting the entire world with the Chinese virus and killing millions, while it has mysteriously caused the least damage within the People's Republic where it had originated, the Chinese Communists know well it is time to build an image of credibility and trustworthiness. Otherwise there is the very real danger of the West mobilising to strike back and maybe inflict damage -- reminiscent of nineteenth and twentieth century Chinese history. It knows well that the existing world order faces its existential threat, as aptly shown in the IMF's latest annual report.
"Governments and central banks around the world might spend $19.5 trillion just to put 'a floor under' the world economy -- which has been reeling under the catastrophic impact of the pandemic". Governments, as of September 2020, have "announced nearly $12 trillion in stimulus measures and central banks across world have already spent $7.5 trillion" to soften the impact of the Chinese-origin virus on economics. Yet, the fact is that today "the state of the world economy is worse… than the Great Depression of the 1930s".
What India has done about the RCEP is perfect. It couldn't be otherwise.
Giving preference to imports rather than exporting indigenous goods, India's ruling class had made monumental blunders in the two decades since 2000, which led to New Delhi's capitulation before the CPC, with the Chinese brutally romping deep inside India's hinterland and taking control of some sensitive and strategic sectors, thus endangering the security of India from within. Just contrast democratic India's behaviour with the way Beijing deals with non-Chinese entities operating in that country. India's decision on RCEP was also partly a damage-control exercise.
Our horrendous 2019-20 total trade deficit (despite the downturn due to the Chinese virus) still stands at $1,61,348.24 billion, though down from the 2018-19 figure of minus $1,84,000.33 billion.
India shouldn't be branded a "loser" for not joining the 15-nation RCEP as long as the supreme national interest of its 1.3 billion people is unaddressed by the RCEP's shadow of the CPC-created Chinese virus. Just wait and see: the octopus-like dragon will destroy economics, monopolise trade, break banks, create a debt trap, organise political sabotage, destroy indigenous industry, corner and usurp the dollar from all sources and replace it with the Chinese currency.

A magic square of order m · n is called composite, when it can be decomposed into m2 magic subsquares, each of order n.
It is to be noted that the minimal composite magic square must be of order n=9. This is the minimal number with two divisors, for which magic squares exist.
This means that the fundamental magic square can be decomposed into m2=32=9 magic subsquares, each of them with order n=. Of course it is impossible that all subsquares are normalized, i.e. are composed of consecutive integers 1, 2, … , n2.
This means that the composite square can be decomposed in m2=32=9 magic subsquares of order n=4.
But, also another decomposition is possible.
This composite magic square is decomposed into m2=42=16 magic subsquares, each of order n=3.

I Don't Feel So Good
There was little drama for the rest of our walk through the car show. We had some cotton candy – well Alex ate most of it I did eat some. But it's too sweet for me. The price for not eating sweets. But I had fun feeding my share to Alex. He didn't seem to mind too much.
He stopped at a few more cars to chat about them. And those guys from before never bothered us. They actually saw us once in the crowd and high tailed it out of there. They didn't look battered or bruised from a distance so Ant must not have beat them down too much. He was a scary big guy vampire or not.
As we walked towards the beach house hand in hand we could smell cooking – steaks on a grill. Both of our stomachs rumbled and we laughed. "I guess we should have eaten."
"Fuck no – that's steak. It might be Ryan cooking but he's almost better than you." Alex grinned at me.
Ryan stood at the grill by the pool putting another steak on the grill. He said, "Good you can take over." He handed me the flipper. "Rider started cooking, but then he ran off into the bathroom." He glanced at me, "Feeling alright?"
I shrugged. "Why are you looking at me?"
"You are the only human one among us." And then he grinned at Alex. "How often you been sick?"
"Hardly ever, actually."
"My point." Ryan grinned.
Alex frowned. "Are you saying he's more human than I am?"
Ant growled. "No, and yes."
Ryan's grin was wide. "You take all our strengths and weakness to an extreme. The Cesari skills are over to top. Your empathy is strong, you are reading people with ease. You heal extraordinarily fast, yet you get sick all the time."
"Dorian said it was because even though Venatori don't get sick, they carry it around and because I'm not exposed to it everyday like a human I get sick."
"He is right, but you shouldn't get sick Nox. You aren't killed by nepenthe. So why do you catch the common cold, the stomach bug, and common regular human things?"
I shrugged. "I don't have an answer."
"Your strengths and weaknesses are exaggerations of the parts of you."
"So a common cold could kill me?"
Ryan snickered. "Not now, but I expect that you'll still get sick. And sooner than anyone else."
"So I'm your gage to Rider's plight?"
Alex snickered. "He could be pregnant."
"Men in any world can't do that." I rolled my eyes.
"He'd be rich," Alex said as he lifted the lid to the grill to look.
I pushed it back down, "You are letting all the heat out. If men could get pregnant there would be no doubt which of us would be carrying our children."
Alex laughed. "Such a bottom."
Ant groaned as I handed Ryan the flipper again. "I'm going to check on Rider." Alex followed me inside.
I found my brother behind the bathroom door. He was puking his guts out. "Alex says you might be pregnant."
Rider pulled the door open and stared at me incredulously. He had paled even more at my statement I was sure of it.
"It's not possible," I said and he relaxed but another wave of nausea passed over him and he didn't hesitate to let it all go, drying heaving until it was done. "At least that I know of."
"I hate you." He growled at me. It wasn't a human growl.
He looked up at me with amber eyes. "Well fuck!" I grabbed my brother's hand and pulled him along. "Don't sick up all over the floor."
I burst into the room with the other twin and he was curled up in a ball whimpering. Alex read my mind, "I'll go find Fae. Anyone else?"
I shook my head. "No, just bring him back here. Matt, make sure everyone stays away, we don't know what's going to happen."
"Nox. Tell me what's going on." Matt begged.
Alex looked at me with the same confusion. "They are transitioning." I said.
"But they aren't even twenty." Matt countered but then he growled and his hand went to his face as he realized it was probably my fucking magic taking hold.
Alex chuckled, "Think before you speak."
Matt sighed, "I'll keep everyone else away."
I nodded. Alex left to get Fae and I sat down with my brothers on the floor. They curled around each other instinctively. They were both in pain, but they both wanted to comfort the other. I wondered what that twin connection felt like. But I would never know that feeling – like I knew someone without trying.
Alex shut the door with Faelen scurrying past me and piling in with the other boys. His eyes were amber as he looked up at me. Their power was radiating to him, and he was already in the midst of the change. "It's a bit early for them all to change now." I said.
"Tomorrows the full moon." Alex said. "What do you need me to do?"
"Watch them for now. Don't sit too close we don't want them to bite you."
"They won't bite me." Alex said. "What are you doing?" He sad looking at me as I stared at the door.
I put a contain magic run on the door and a locking rune on the door knob. I hoped that would keep us all in and everyone else out in case of an accidental attack or mishap otherwise. I came back to Alex who was still staring at me, "You think that's a good idea, locking us in here?"
"Like you said, they won't hurt us."
Faelen was almost already transformed into his wolf. He was syphoning off the twins power and soon they'd be in the agony of the change. "I can force them into wolf form now that the change has started."
Alex looked at me and shrugged, "They want to know if it'll hurt less?"
I looked at Faelen but he was mostly gone. Alex chuckled, "It's harder to understand him in wolf form, but he feels less is better."
I ran my fingers through Faelen's fur and nodded, "Alright. Ask them if it's okay?"
"They both agree." Alex said. "How can I help?"
"Just come sit with us." I said. And the five us were all nearly on top of each other, the boys were curled around each other on the floor. I put a hand on Laker's hip and the other on Alex. He mimicked me with Rider and Faelen bridged them on the other side. It was an imperfect circle but the minute we were all touching the surge of magic coursed through my veins. Alex winched next to me and squeezed my leg as the magic poured through him too.
I didn't have to pull hard to push the pack magic into my brothers. Rider resisted at first but then he seemed to realize that he could control it too and he pulled at the magic as well as pushed it at the rest of us.
Both of the boys screamed and I immediately let go of the pulsing magic but the magic surged instead of waned as Rider forced it through us all. I let out a low growl as my brothers transformed. Alex was squeezing my hand as he felt the imagery of my brother's shifting in their heads. I could almost hear their agony, I think Alex was keeping it from me.
It felt like an eternity in the middle of bones popping and skin shifting. Fur pouring over their bodies. It was almost hypnotizing if it wasn't so painful.
But only moments had passed before two very large wolves were shaking themselves off and rubbing against each other, and us including Faelen in there attentions too.
"You three need to hunt. We have to get you to Adrian so you can join them."
Rider's big black wolf shook his head.
Alex grinned, "He is so much more clear than Faelen, or even Laker. He says, run with you. And Steak – raw."
"The last was an interpretation, all I saw was bloody dripping steaks hanging from a fork." Alex laughed. Rider's wolf pushed up against Alex and gave him a big slobbery lick then shook his head.
"He thinks that's funny. Don't need a translator for that one."
Alex and I cuddled and petted our new furry members of our family. There was no going back to Colorado for them now. Not away from pack.


The following lists stocks I purchased this week. This list will provide a record for me to look back on in the future so that I can understand my best picks and stupidest decisions.
The stocks may be purchased on different days. For the last 2 weeks, I was focused on transferring my funds from my Vanguard index funds to my brokerage account. The Vanguard funds were not held for very long so the profits (around $160) will be taxed short term. Usually my purchases every month will not be this large as I prefer dollar cost averaging.
The market is very high right now and it is hard to find good deals. Most of my purchases are what I consider fair market value, ie PE price averages that have been established for the several months or year. My purchases for now will be centered around safe blue-chip stocks or low beta dividend stocks, with a small portion in what I consider riskier equities. At the moment, I also have around $4000 in Vanguard Total Bond (VBMFX) and slightly more in cash equivalents. When the stock market sees a large correction over 20% I will begin transferring these bonds to equities. Likewise, I will be converting more of my cash into equities.
I have decided to avoid the financial and insurance sector for the time being since they are too volatile to my taste.
After the earnings report, the stock took a drop which. I feel that I got this stock at a slight discount. I took this time to buy. I decided to have a small starting position in this stock and add more if it drops further. This is one of my sleep well at night (SWAN) stocks.
The stock was very cheap when I purchased it. I felt I got it at a discount. Their financial history has been great, although their dividend yield is low. Dividends are increased by large % every year. I consider this one of my growth stocks. I do not have a large position in ROST.
I purchased this stock for the very very long term. The stock is not well priced right now and I am aware that I may suffer losses from a correction (in which case I will buy more!). The purchase was more to establish a beginning position in MO and to have a solid dividend yield stock in my portfolio. This is one of my SWAN stocks.
The stock has a very attractive PE which I think is a discount. I was going to buy it at 585 but the funds were still being transferred. I like the yield and their revenue for the last 10 years have been fantastic. Although this does not predict future performance, I feel that their iPhone 6 will be a huge hit. International expansion to countries like China will also increase their sales. Apple has become a legend and nearly everyone I know uses an iPhone.
I feel that this stock has an attractive PE ratio and has promising growth. The yield is also solid at 3.52%. This stock is more volatile and has already climbed very far.
Like ROST, this stock took a large plunge this when I purchased it. I feel that I got a discount. Their past 10 years have shown consistent revenue growth and solid dividends. Although the dividend yield is a bit low. TJX is like a big brother ROST. I have both in my portfolio in small quantities.
Was fairly priced when I bought it. Solid stock. Has been stuck in the same price for a while. Is a dividend champion. Will keep this for a very long time unless they decrease dividends. This is one of my SWAN stocks.
I feel this stock has an attractive PE and has a lot of growth potential. It has been declining since this year after their purchase of Time Warner Cable. They have a strong monopoly for internet in many areas where I've lived and I feel that their revenue will continue to grow like in the past.
I purchased this stock instead of AT&T for the growth potential. VZ has less yield than AT&T but it is still a large yield. I will want to own AT&T one day as well. When I purchased it I didn't think it was overpriced or underpriced. I'm a little worried about their debt compared to AT&Ts.
I bought this stock at fair value I felt. Like MO, I purchased this stock to setup an initial position. I feel this stock has room to grow and that it offers an attractive yield. If the stock price drops I will increase my position. This is one of my SWAN stocks.
The stock had a small drop this year. However the PE is basically the same as it's been for a very long time. I felt I got this at a very small discount, more like fair value. Stable stock with good dividend. This is one of my SWAN stocks.
I bought this at fair value. I wanted to establish an initial position. CHD has a great revenue history as far back as I can check. Although the yield is lower, CHD has been increasing dividends very quickly in the last couple years.This is one of my SWAN stocks.
I purchased this at fair value. The stock has been climbing fast but the PE has been relatively the same between 19 and 19.5. I wanted to have an initial position in this stock. This is one of my SWAN stocks.
I bought this at fair value. The stock offers a great yield and strong business. I own KMI to avoid having to do additional tax forms for MLPs. My brokerage does not support dripping KMP.

Q: How to remove javascript from html files and leaving plain text I'm trying to adapt the following script to take input from a text file on my computer "input.txt" and output the result to a text file "output.txt".
The script works fine on grabbing html from the internet but I can't figure out the adaptation I need.
Strange thing is I figured it out a year ago - but I can't remember what I did - I'm not a programmer.
Code:
url='http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1732348/regex-match-open-tags-except-xhtml-self-contained-tags'
curl -s  "$url"   |
sed -Ene:n -etD   \
    -e's/ ?[^ "]*"[^"]*"//g;/"/'bN  \
    -e's/[[:space:]]*($|<)/\n\1/'   \
    -e'/^Moderator.s Note/q'        \
    -e'/.\n/P;/\n</!t'        -e:D  \
    -e'/\n/D;/^<script>/!s/>/&\n/'  \
    -e'/\n/!s/<\/script>/\n/' -e:N  \
    -e'/\n/!{N;s///;}' -e//tD -etn

A:
How to remove javascript from html files and leaving plain text?

Its an interesting question, in that I think it highlights another issue with using regex for parsing markup, maintainability.
If you have php available on your system this script will do it
#!/usr/local/bin/php
# point the #! to wherever your PHP commandline binary is

<?php

error_reporting(1);

$html = file_get_contents('http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1732348/regex-match-open-tags-except-xhtml-self-contained-tags');

// create an object representing the DOM tree of the webpage
$document = new DOMDocument;
$document->loadHTML($html);

// store the <script> elements as a DOMN
$script_nodes = $document->getElementsByTagName('script');

// For some reason you can't use the DOMNode::removeChild method
// when iterating through an instance of PHP's DOMNodeList
// so use an array to queue the values in. see
// http://php.net/manual/en/domnode.removechild.php
$scripts_to_remove = [];
for ( $i=0; $i < $script_nodes->length; $i++ ) {
    $scripts_to_remove[] = $script_nodes->item($i);
}

// now we can iterate through the <script> nodes removing them
foreach ( $scripts_to_remove  as $s_node ) {
    $parent = $s_node->parentNode;
    $parent->removeChild($s_node);
}

// print out the new DOM as HTML
echo $document->saveHTML();

Usage
To use the script, setup a file containing the above code, make it executable, run it and redirect the output into a file, the file should contain the HTML stripped of the <script> tags.


Italian label Cosmic Rhythm made their debut last year with an EP by Michele Lamacchia under his Rhythm Of Paradise alias, a fusion of early 90's house, disco and 80's electronica. Since then, their releases have gone from strength to strength and for such a new label, have made a great impact. Their sound could be described as a fond throwback to a golden age of house with an avant-garde twist.
Their latest offering is an EP by Loss Of Gravity, a collaboration between Lamacchia and Nicola Loporchio, entitled "Sotterranea" (roughly translated as 'underground'). Today we premiere the opening track 'Intensity'. This track has an air of familiarity to it as the opening chords melt into your subconscious. Layers of percussion and a pulsating bass line are added into the fray, along with some lush melancholic melodies and pads that the godfather Larry Heard would be proud of. Intensity would be a perfect fit for a warm-up set, a 3AM slot to break up the banger tracks, a laid back podcast or even an open top car journey along the coast.
Plenty of producers try and recreate the magic of deep house tracks in the early 90's but this duo have done a fine job, breaking that all too familiar cliche to create a record of true class. The future continues to look bright for Cosmic Rhythm if this form continues.
Due out on 12" end of April, grab from Juno or Clone.

Men of Letters
In the Early Republic
In the aftermath of the Revolutionary War, the role of the citizen was seen as largely political. But as Catherine O'Donnell Kaplan reveals, some Americans believed that neither the nation nor they themselves could achieve virtue and happiness through politics alone. Imagining a different kind of citizenship, they founded periodicals, circulated manuscripts, and conversed about poetry, art, and the nature of man. They pondered William Godwin and Edmund Burke more carefully than they did candidates for local elections and insisted other Americans should do so as well. Kaplan looks at three groups in particular: the Friendly Club in New York City, which revolved around Elihu Hubbard Smith, with collaborators such as William Dunlap and Charles Brockden Brown; the circle around Joseph Dennie, editor of two highly successful periodicals; and the Anthologists of the Boston Athenaeum. Trough these groups, Kaplan demonstrates, an enduring and influential model of the man of letters emerged in the first decade of the nineteenth century.

Why hybrid cloud data protection is so crucial
This week's roundup of analyst musings includes discussions about the importance of hybrid cloud data protection and whether it's beneficial to strike a work-life balance.
Chuck Moozakis, Editor at Large
John Oltsik, an analyst with Enterprise Strategy Group in Milford, Mass., recapped a presentation given by his...
colleague, Doug Cahill, at last week's RSA Conference. The topic: hybrid cloud data protection -- and, more specifically, the security challenges associated with keeping data secure at a time when workloads are being shipped among multiple providers.
"Cloud security remains inconsistent, as organizations don't have the right tools or processes to monitor activities or keep up with DevOps," Oltsik said. As more workloads move to the cloud, the more serious these security issues become.
Fortunately, there are steps enterprises can take to shore up their hybrid cloud data protection strategies. Among the most important: merging security and DevOps. Oltsik conceded eliminating the operational barriers between these two departments is challenging, but he said ESG research has found 15% of organizations have already made significant moves to integrate the two groups.
Enterprises are also tackling security by creating a new position, cloud security architect, whose chief responsibility is to oversee the transmission of traffic to cloud suppliers.
Read what else Oltsik had to say about Cahill's presentation.
Striking the right balance between work and life
Is there an optimum balance between work and life? That's the question Ethan Banks posed in a blog posted last week on Packet Pushers. Banks said he's always believed it's not worth sacrificing your personal life just to satisfy career goals. That said, there are exceptions, especially during times when a critical upgrade is happening at work, or when you're studying for a certification exam.
That's when you'll have to dig a little bit deeper to accomplish the goals that need to be met.
"I'm not here to tell you it's worth destroying your marriage to become a CCIE [Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert] -- which some people have done," Banks wrote. "I am saying that in order to get hard things done, your life will have temporary imbalances if those hard things are truly important to you."
So, is balance really just an excuse some use to justify their reluctance to spend more time in the office?
See what Banks had to say about that question and his other thoughts about obtaining a good balance between your job and your personal life.
The essence of 'how' and why it's important to networking customers
If vendors want to keep their networking customers happy, they need to explain how their products work and not just market their wares as something that will help meet a company's business goals.
That's because too many companies have been burned by broken promises, said Gartner analyst Hank Barnes. But explaining the how isn't necessarily easy. And vendors are concerned their customers may not be able to understand all the distinctions of what makes their products tick.
It's important for vendors to shed light on how their products operate, but to do that, timing is critical, Barnes said.
"As buyers get more and more interested, they'll grant you more and more attention," he said in his advice to vendors. "And most of that attention will be focused on really understanding if, and how, they can be successful with your products and services. That is the time complete, direct, and clear information is critical."
Once that occurs, vendors have one other matter to satisfy: They have to give buyers a reason to believe. But that's not possible, Barnes said, unless perspective customers understand the basics of how a particular product or service works.
Find out what else Barnes had to say about why vendors need to communicate with their customers.

El intercambiador de San Mamés es un complejo que engloba varios medios de transporte colectivo de la villa de Bilbao (España). Situado en el barrio de Garellano, en el distrito suroccidental de Basurto-Zorroza, es próximo al popular estadio de fútbol de San Mamés, cuyo nombre recibe. Los servicios son ofrecidos por sus respectivos operadores de transporte, cada cual mediante su propia infraestructura, en superficie o subterránea, estando las distintas instalaciones interconectadas a través de estancias comunes, cuya gestión y titularidad corresponde al Consorcio de Transportes de Bizkaia (CTB); de esta manera se facilita una intermodalidad ágil entre los diferentes medios integrados.

El de San Mamés es, junto a los céntricos intercambiadores de Abando —cuyo núcleo de facto es la estación de Abando Indalecio Prieto— y del Casco Viejo —en la estación de Zazpikaleak/Casco Viejo, de la red de metro— uno de los tres principales puntos de intermodalidad de red de transporte ferroviario del territorio foral, así como el primer punto neurálgico de todo el sistema de movilidad público de la provincia en su conjunto, dada su posición dominante en lo que a la afluencia total de pasajeros se refiere, así como por la variedad y relevancia de los medios de transporte y puntos geográficos a los que da acceso, directa o indirectamente.

Como particularidad, el intercambiador de San Mamés alberga la estación de Bilbao Intermodal, la terminal central de autobuses de la capital vizcaína, en la que hacen parada las líneas de largo recorrido de las grandes operadoras comerciales españolas e internacionales. Bilbao Intermodal es también punto de inicio y fin de trayecto de numerosas líneas (semi)directas del servicio provincial Bizkaibus, siendo así en la actualidad el principal (o único) nexo por transporte público entre Bilbao y diversos municipios vizcaínos, así como puntos de gran interés, como el Aeropuerto de Bilbao o el campus de Lejona de la Universidad del País Vasco (UPV/EHU).

Además de los anteriores, también operan en el complejo otras compañías, conformando un amplio abanico de servicios públicos. Metro Bilbao da servicio de metro mediante sus dos líneas (L1 y L2) de la red bilbaína. Dos líneas de ferrocarril suburbano de Renfe Cercanías (C1 y C2) tienen parada en el intercambiador. Asimismo, el conjunto intermodal es fácilmente accesible desde otros puntos de la ciudad mediante el tranvía de Bilbao (línea TR), de Euskotren Tranbia, y varias líneas del servicio de autobuses municipal, Bilbobus. Finalmente, la oferta se completa con un estacionamiento propio de taxis, además de un aparcamiento para vehículos particulares.

Historia y estructura

La existencia del intercambiador de San Mamés, como tal, data del año 2004, cuando la sociedad promotora Bilbao Ría 2000 dio por concluidas las obras para la construcción de la nueva infraestructura de enlace. Propiamente, el intercambiador consta de un vestíbulo o pasillo central, y varios ascensores y escaleras (algunas de ellas, mecánicas) que enlazan las instalaciones diferenciadas de los distintos medios de transporte, construidas en distintos momentos, aun de manera planificada de cara a su integración. Igualmente, la titularidad de cada instalación componente del complejo corresponde a distintos agentes implicados en el transporte público vizcaíno.

El primer medio de transporte constituyente del intercambiador que dio servicio en la zona fue el metro de Bilbao, a partir de noviembre de 1995. No obstante, el germen del intercambiador no floreció hasta el año siguiente, 1996, con la entrada en funcionamiento de «Termibus»: un segundo servicio con vocación de ser la primera estación central de autobuses de Bilbao. Termibus fue inicialmente concebida con carácter temporal en una zona desaprovechada, no necesariamente permanente, pero de fácil acceso a la autopista A-8. La falta de propuestas claras y de consenso sobre una ubicación definitiva, situación alargada durante años, terminó por consolidarla como la terminal de autobuses de la villa durante casi dos décadas, a partir de 1999. Si bien el mobiliario implementado dicho año en Termibus fue encargado bajo condición de que fuera fácilmente desmontable de cara a un futuro traslado, dicha característica no fue finalmente aprovechada al decidirse definitivamente, en 2012, la futura sustitución de la estación en superficie por otra completamente soterrada, en el mismo emplazamiento. Así, tras dos años de obras y provisionalidad, en noviembre de 2019 entró en funcionamiento la estación de Bilbao Intermodal, en sustitución de Termibus. Propiedad del Ayuntamiento de Bilbao, Bilbao Intermodal es la principal y más frecuentada instalación del complejo.

En un paso más hacia la creación de un nodo de intercambio, en el año 2000, como parte del desarrollo y puesta en marcha de la denominada Variante Sur Ferroviaria de Cercanías de Bilbao —proyecto también de Bilbao Ría 2000— entró en funcionamiento la estación provisional de Renfe Cercanías en San Mamés, propiedad de Adif (heredada de la extinta RENFE), implementada a cielo descubierto. Años más tarde, en julio de 2003, llegaba al emplazamiento el nuevo tranvía de Bilbao, operado por EuskoTran (hoy Euskotren Tranbia), estableciéndose temporalmente allí su fin de trayecto. Finalmente, en el año 2004 se inauguraba de manera formal el intercambiador de San Mamés, para lo cual fue necesario el completo soterramiento de la estación de cercanías; ello permitió también la prolongación del trazado del tranvía hasta Basurto y la reubicación de su apeadero (propiedad de Euskal Trenbide Sarea) hasta su posición actual, encima de la estación de Renfe. Por su parte, el servicio municipal de autobuses Bilbobus también cuenta con distintas paradas aledañas.

El corazón del intercambiador, propiedad de Consorcio de Transportes de Bizkaia (CTB), fue inaugurado el 29 de julio de 2004 como eje del proyecto. Se trata de un vestíbulo subterráneo ubicado en la confluencia de la Calle de Luis Briñas con la Avenida de Juan Antonio Zunzunegui, al cual se puede acceder directamente mediante escaleras mecánicas y normales, protegidas bajo una prominente estructura cilíndrica acristalada ubicada a pie de calle, en la confluencia de las vías ya citadas. Desde ese vestíbulo, el usuario puede acceder a los servicios de autobús urbano y tranvía (en superficie), o a los servicios de autobús de largo recorrido y provincial, metro y tren de cercanías (bajo tierra). Además del propio vestíbulo, cada una de las instalaciones subterráneas de los distintos operadores cuenta, al menos, con un acceso propio adicional en otra ubicación.

Desde su entrada en funcionamiento en 2004, el único cambio sustancial acometido en la estructura del intercambiador ha sido la adaptación del enlace entre el vestíbulo y la estación central de autobuses, dada las muy distintas naturalezas de la estación original (Termibus, en superficie) y la actual (Bilbao Intermodal, bajo tierra). Antiguamente, el pasillo central del vestíbulo, correspondiente al acceso a la terminal de autobuses, conducía a una pequeña estancia con sendas escaleras mecánicas y normales, que permitían al usuario ascender a superficie, pero dando acceso directo a la zona de dársenas de Termibus, evitando así que el usuario tuviese que rodear el recinto vallado para acceder a su interior de manera segura, a través de pasos acondicionados para peatones. En la actualidad, la estancia con las dos escaleras ha desaparecido, y el pasillo central da acceso directo a Bilbao Intermodal, cuya planta -1 (donde se encuentran las taquillas, las canceladoras, el bar, las consignas y una zona comercial) se encuentra al mismo nivel del vestíbulo. La zona de dársenas de la terminal de autobuses se encuentra en un nivel inferior, la planta -2, accesible solo para viajeros tras pasar por canceladoras en la planta -1.

Medios de transporte

Autobuses provinciales y de largo recorrido

La estación de Bilbao Intermodal, ubicada bajo tierra en el emplazamiento denominado tradicionalmente campa de Garellano, es la principal terminal de autobuses de Bilbao, y la única con servicios interurbanos de largo recorrido, tanto nacionales como internacionales, operados por grandes compañías privadas del sector, como ALSA, FlixBus, Autobuses La Unión, etc. Así, los autobuses procedentes de otras partes de España y del resto de Europa con destino o escala en Bilbao llegan hasta esta terminal, en exclusiva.

Asimismo, casi una veintena de líneas del servicio provincial de autobuses públicos de Vizcaya, Bizkaibus, tienen Bilbao Intermodal como punto de inicio y fin. Dichas líneas son servicios directos o semidirectos que unen Bilbao con municipios alejados de la geografía vizcaína, así como con localidades más próximas o lugares de gran interés, con los que existen flujos importantes de viajeros cada día. Entre todas ellas destacan algunas, como la A3247, que tiene como destino el Aeropuerto de Bilbao, con salidas cada cuarto de hora desde la terminal de autobuses hasta la zona de salidas del aeropuerto, en un trayecto de 15 minutos, aproximadamente. Otra línea destacada es la A2318, que une por autopista la estación de autobuses con el campus de Lejona de la Universidad del País Vasco, con una frecuencia de 20 minutos y una duración de trayecto aproximada a la del ejemplo anterior.

La actual estación de autobuses es heredera de la extinta «Termibus», terminal inaugurada en superficie, en el mismo emplazamiento, consolidada como tal en 1999. Planteada en principio como estación temporal, cumplió su función como estación terminal de autobuses de la villa hasta 2018, cuando fue clausurada para el inicio de las obras de Bilbao Intermodal, siendo sustituida mientras tanto por una reducida terminal adyacente, junto a las Torres de Garellano. La actual estación soterrada entró en funcionamiento en noviembre de 2019.

Metro

La estación de Santimami/San Mamés, subterránea y ubicada bajo la avenida de Sabino Arana, da servicio de metro al complejo intercambiador. Es cronológicamente, entre cuantas lo integran, la primera instalación en ponerse en marcha, habiendo sido inaugurada el 11 de noviembre de 1995, como parte de la primitiva red de estaciones que conformaron la red inicial del metro de Bilbao.

Operada por Metro Bilbao, da servicio a las líneas L1 y L2 del sistema en su tronco común (hasta la estación de San Ignazio), con trenes con frecuencias entre 4 y 5 minutos en cada sentido, en horas punta. Su tarifa de transporte público corresponde a la zona 1 del Consorcio de Transportes de Bizkaia, dada su ubicación (Bilbao municipio). Su diseño en caverna es idéntico al de otras estaciones de metro subterráneas de nueva construcción, siguiendo el lenguaje de diseño propio de la red en territorio urbano, ideado por el estudio Foster&Partners.

La presencia del metro es vital para el conjunto del complejo intercambiador, siendo, paralelamente con la estación de autobuses Bilbao Intermodal, la principal instalación del intercambiador en cuanto a número de usuarios, y la principal forma de acceso al mismo. Santimami/San Mamés recibió 6 034 855 pasajeros en el año 2017, siendo la quinta estación más utilizada de su operador, Metro Bilbao, solo tras las céntricas estaciones de Indautxu, Abando, Moyua y Zazpikaleak/Casco Viejo (en orden ascendente), dos de las cuales sirven también a intercambiadores (Abando y Casco Viejo). De esta manera, permite enlazar rápidamente el intercambiador con el pleno centro de la villa, incluida su principal terminal ferroviaria: la estación de Abando Indalecio Prieto, siguiendo cualquiera de las dos líneas de metro.

Trenes de cercanías

La estación de San Mamés, también subterránea y ubicada bajo la Avenida de Juan Antonio Zunzunegui, a la altura de la Escuela de Ingeniería de Bilbao de la UPV/EHU, complementa el servicio ferroviario de metro con uno de cercanías, aprovechando el paso del tendido explotado por Renfe Cercanías (propiedad de Adif) por el complejo intercambiador. La división de servicios suburbanos del operador estatal Renfe gestiona en el intercambiador de San Mamés dos de las tres líneas de su red bilbaína, la C-1 y la C-2, las cuales refuerzan o posibilitan la conexión entre el mismo y la Margen Izquierda y la Zona Minera (respectivamente), con trenes con frecuencias entre los 10 y los 12 minutos en horas punta en su tronco común (hasta la estación de Desierto-Baracaldo).

Las primeras instalaciones de Renfe Cercanías en San Mamés entraron en funcionamiento en 2000, de la mano de la operación urbanística bautizada como Variante Sur Ferroviaria de Cercanías de Bilbao, llevada a cabo por la asociación promotora Bilbao Ría 2000. Dicha operación tuvo como fin regenerar zonas de alta densidad poblacional en el sur de Bilbao, eliminando las «heridas» causadas por las céntricas instalaciones ferroviarias desarrolladas sin control durante décadas, entonces en desuso o pendientes de traslado, para así liberarlas y edificar en ellas, o crear espacios verdes y de esparcimiento. En dicha actuación se optó por reciclar el ramal de mercancías directo entre la estación de Olabeaga y la estación de Bilbao Abando —que también daba servicio a la desaparecida terminal de transbordo de Amézola— para convertirlo en un trazado híbrido de mercancías y cercanías, en el que se incluirían nuevas estaciones, para atender así a la demanda de las zonas que atravesaba, y al que se trasladarían las líneas C-1 (entre Bilbao y Santurce) y C-2 (entre Bilbao y Musques); hasta 1999, dichas líneas iniciaban y terminaban en la extinta estación de Bilbao-La Naja, bordeando la Ría de Bilbao a su paso por Abandoibarra y Uribitarte.

Para posibilitar lo anterior, el ramal, construido en su día excavando a su paso una trinchera que dividía el terreno, fue soterrado para paliar el desnivel y unificar los alrededores. En la reformada infraestructura subterránea, en buena medida a lo largo de la nueva «Avenida del Ferrocarril», se implementaron las nuevas estaciones de San Mamés, Autonomía, Amézola (intermodal con Renfe Cercanías AM) y Zabalburu. Entre ellas, la de San Mamés fue construida en un inicio con carácter provisional, de cara a su posterior soterramiento, para así integrarla plenamente a posteriori en el nuevo intercambiador, partir del inicio de las obras en 2001. Finalmente, con la inauguración del complejo el 29 de julio de 2004, la nueva estación soterrada quedó plenamente interconectada con los servicios de metro, tranvía y autobús, entre otros.

Dada su ubicación, su tarifa corresponde a la denominada zona 0 del sistema zonal propio de Renfe Cercanías en Vizcaya, si bien se corresponde en la práctica con la demarcación de la zona 1 del Consorcio de Transportes de Bizkaia. A pesar de ofrecer una frecuencia menor, las líneas de cercanías C-1 y C-2 facilitan la accesibilidad entre el vestíbulo principal del intercambiador de San Mamés y los andenes de la estación de Abando Indalecio Prieto (ferrocarril de largo recorrido), también servida por el sistema de metro; esto es así porque el desnivel entre el vestíbulo de San Mamés y la estación de Renfe Cercanías es menor que el desnivel respecto a la de Metro Bilbao, además de porque el transbordo entre los trenes de cercanías de Renfe y los de largo recorrido se realiza al mismo nivel en Abando Indalecio Prieto. Asimismo, esta instalación facilita el acceso al intercambiador desde poblaciones pequeñas de la comarca occidental de Las Encartaciones atendidas por la línea de cercanías C-4f de Renfe Cercanías AM, pudiéndose llegar desde ellas a Bilbao a través de la mencionada estación intermodal de Amézola (sin llegar hasta la terminal de La Concordia), donde es posible realizar un transbordo fácil con las líneas C-1 o C-2 para llegar, finalmente, al intercambiador.

Tranvía y autobuses urbanos

El intercambiador de San Mamés es fácilmente accesible desde distintos puntos de Bilbao mediante dos sistemas de transporte público urbano en superficie. Por un lado, el tranvía de Bilbao o línea TR, gestionado por Euskotren Tranbia (antiguamente EuskoTran) tiene parada en el intercambiador mediante el apeadero de San Mamés, ubicado en la Avenida de Juan Antionio Zunzunegui, a la altura de la Escuela de Ingeniería, justo encima de la estación de Renfe Cercanías. Originalmente, el apeadero se encontraba más alejado de las estaciones de Metro Bilbao y Renfe Cercanías, pero fue reubicado junto a la salida principal de los otros dos ferrocarriles, la salida de la Calle de Luis Briñas, con la inauguración del complejo en 2004.

Además, el servicio municipal de autobuses urbanos, Bilbobus, cuenta con numerosas paradas en las inmediaciones del complejo, siendo las más próximas las ubicadas en las calles de Luis Briñas (fte. n.º 27) y de Pérez Galdós, en las que dan servicio, respectivamente, las líneas 28 y 38 del servicio.

Taxi y aparcamientos de vehículos
En las inmediaciones de la estación central de autobuses, Bilbao Intermodal, se encuentra un estacionamiento de taxis especialmente orientado a los usuarios de los autobuses de largo recorrido. Asimismo, la misma estación cuenta con un aparcamiento propio de vehículos para sus usuarios, que es complementado con otros estacionamientos municipales aledaños.

Instagram is a fantastic branding opportunity for many small businesses. However, growing a large and engaged following can take a long time and be incredibly time consuming. The following nine tips will help you build your small business' Instagram account and gain a large and profitable following quickly and efficiently.
Everything starts with great content. Instagram has over 400 million users. You have to find a way to get your account to stand out from the crowd. The content you create needs to not only be great in design but perfect for your audience. Lovely images of things your ideal audience couldn't care less about won't get you the following or engagement you're seeking.
A fantastic example of the right content mix for a particular audience is Foundr Magazine's Instagram. Foundr magazine grew their Instagram account to 10,000 followers in two weeks by posting motivational and inspirational quotes geared toward their target audience of current and aspiring entrepreneurs. You can have similar success by taking the time to research what kind of content works for your target audience. Search accounts with similar audiences and see what kind of content is working for them, then create similar content for your account.
While hashtags may seem trivial and annoying, they are a critical part of the Instagram ecosystem. Hashtags expose your account to thousands of users who may not have found it otherwise. Use Websta to find hashtags relevant to your industry and use them on all of your posts. The maximum number of hashtags Instagram allows per post is thirty. Power users will often max out the number of hashtags they use. However, on average, the most popular posts use eleven hashtags per image. Do your homework and load up on those hashtags to grow your account.
To grow the Instagram for your small business quickly, you need to steal your competitors' followers. Stealing followers is a great strategy because you don't have to guess about their interest in your content since they are already following similar accounts. To get the most out of your efforts, you should employ a Like + Comment + Follow strategy. For example, instead of just following users or liking posts, you would follow a user, like one of their pictures and then leave a comment on the same or different image. One business owner achieved a follow-back rate of 34 percent when using the above engagement strategy.
Post consistently to grow your business' Instagram following quickly. Quintly.com, a social media analytics tool, analyzed over 5,000 Instagram profiles in 2015. They found that the profiles with the most followers posted two to three times per day. Average Instagram users weren't slouches in the posting department either; the average account added a new image once per day.
Each image you post should have a strong call to action. Sometimes getting users to do what you want can be as simple as asking them to do it. Popular calls to action on Instagram for small business include asking fans to "double tap" if they like a post or to "tag a friend" in the comments. You can also direct fans to sign up for you email list or purchase your product. Including a call to action is a gentle reminder to your fans that they can do more than just look at your content. It also does wonders to increase your engagement while getting more eyeballs to your posts.
Contests are an excellent way to increase engagement on Instagram. A well-run contest can result in thousands of new followers with little effort on your part. There are many types of contests you can run on Instagram. However, regardless of the type of contest you decide to run, the price of entry should be any combination of liking a post, following you, tagging a friend or some other action that will expose your account to a wider audience and increase engagement.
An Instagram shout-out involves a user mentioning your account in one of their posts either through a caption or on an image. Instagram shout-outs are one of the quickest and most efficient ways to grow your following. It places your account in front of thousands of new users that you likely would not have had access to before. To find the right profiles for shout-outs, research the most active Instagram accounts in your industry and find the ones that not only have a similar audience but also have high engagement based on the number of likes and comments their posts receive. Then just contact them to see if they are interested in doing a shout-out and how much it will cost.
As a small business owner, you likely don't have the time to manage your Instagram account on a daily basis. Scheduling is essential to growing your Instagram and to freeing your time to focus on other aspects of your business. Scheduling platforms such as Hootsuite and Schedugram make it easy to schedule your posts well in advance, ensuring you consistently have fresh content to share.
The dirty little secret of most large Instagram accounts is that they use software to handle their likes, follows and comments. Services such as Kicksta and Archie will engage with other Instagram accounts based on parameters you set. These tools are very powerful and can grow your small business' Instagram followers quickly. They are also against Instagram's terms of service and can lead to a permanent ban of your account. The good news is, if you don't abuse the services by engaging too many users too quickly, you aren't likely to get your account banned and can reap the benefits of growing your Instagram on autopilot.
