When I pick up one of my children and cuddle them, all the strain and stress of life temporarily disappears. There is nothing more wonderful than motherhood and no-one will ever love you as much as a small child.
Nicola Horlick
People think motherhood involves a lot of domestic labor, and it doesn't. It involves being nice to your children as often as possible. That's part of my trick. I don't have that anxiety about meeting their needs.
The mother...swinging the children by pulling on a length of string, while at the same time she kept and eye on them with that protective watchfulness, half animal, half angelic, which is the quality of motherhood.
I realized that so much of the pressure I was feeling was from outside sources, and I knew I wasn't ready to take that step into motherhood. Being a biological mother just isn't part of my experience this time around.
Women wear many hats in their lives. Daughter, sister, student, breadwinner. But no matter where we are or what we're doing, one hat that moms never take off is the crown of motherhood. There is no crown more glorious.
I honor women who are not mothers. They know that motherhood is but one of the realms of womankind. The virtue and intelligence of women are uniquely applicable to other realms as well, such as compassionate service and teaching.
I think it's still difficult to write about motherhood and anxiety, that talking about not wanting to be a mother or feeling ambivalent about motherhood makes people uneasy. The ambivalent mother is certainly much more interesting.
Laurie Foos
I first foreswore motherhood when I was about eight years old. ... [Children] were annoying. We were loud and sneaky and broke things. As an eight-year-old, maybe I was simply mortified by the prospect of being saddled with myself.
Yes, the civilization of love is possible; it is not a utopia. But it is only possible by a constant and ready reference to the "Father from whom all fatherhood and motherhood on earth is named," from whom every human family comes.
Chosen motherhood is the real liberation. The choice to have a child makes the whole experience of motherhood different, and the choice to be generative in other ways can at last be made, and is being made by many women now, without guilt.
You know, motherhood is my favourite topic in my personal life and I won't shut up about it, but it's not something I want to discuss publicly just because of the amount of attention it draws to a small person who didn't choose to be exposed.
I think every family has that moment when the parents realize they need help and think, Oh my gosh. We cannot do this all alone. Every woman has that panic at some point in motherhood when you feel completely overwhelmed and constantly tired.
~One surprise of motherhood for me was how little control I have. I thought it would be a blissful romance with me at the helm, cuddling this little creature. It's been bittersweet and humbling to let her lead and to not try to be perfect myself.~
We want better reasons for having children than not knowing how to prevent them. Nor should we represent motherhood as something so common and easy that everyone can go through it without harm or suffering and rear her children competently and well.
As motherhood as a "private enterprise" declines and more mothers rely on the work of lower-paid specialists, the value accorded the work of mothering (not the value of children) has declined for women, making it all the harder for men to take it up.
Arlie Russell Hochschild
We are, as a sex, infinitely superior to men, and if we were free and developed, healthy in body and mind, as we should be under natural conditions, our motherhood would be our glory. That function gives women such wisdom and power as no male can possess.
There's such a crazy social expectation now that we put on ourselves and on each other about what motherhood is supposed to look and feel like. And it's impossible to live up to those standards. You're setting yourself up for failure at every possible turn.
In motherhood, where seemingly opposite realities can be simultaneously true, the role of nurturer invariably conflicts with the role of socializer. When trouble came as it surely must, was I the good cop who understood, the bad cop who terrorized, or both?
Mary Blakely
The reason child care is such a loaded issue is that when we talk about it, we are always tacitly talking about motherhood. And when we're talking about motherhood we're always tacitly assuming that child care must be a very dim second to full-time mother care.
I think people should think a million times before they give birth. The guilts of motherhood were the worst guilts in the world for me. They were really insurmountable. You see, you are depriving another human being of so many things, and the other party also knows it.
Louise Berliawsky Nevelson
I also feel like motherhood, especially, is seen usually in movies with this saintly veil over it. There's something about tipping that and showing what's actually going on. Or the wish fulfillment of probably most moms, which is really exciting. It's an area that's unexplored.
Women have made enormous progress on the lower and middle rungs of the career ladder, but we are failing to make the leap into senior positions. Everyone jumps to the conclusion that it's motherhood that holds women back, but often the big roadblock is the lack of executive presence.
Sylvia Ann Hewlett
Combining paid employment with marriage and motherhood creates safeguards for emotional well-being. Nothing is certain in life, but generally the chances of happiness are greater if one has multiple areas of interest and involvement. To juggle is to diminish the risk of depression, anxiety, and unhappiness.

We got slush!
From Eugene Public Works, the latest on road conditions as of 3 pm today, Dec. 10:
Eugene motorists on Tuesday picked their way along a wintery mix of road conditions that included some areas of bare pavement, lots of packed snow and ice, and — for the first time since the snowstorm last Friday — slush.
"It's great that we're seeing some breakup of the snow pack," said Public Works Incident Commander Chris Girard. "But it also brings a new challenge, which is sheet ice if the snow melts and then refreezes overnight."
Public Works crews have been working around the clock since early Friday morning. Today, a combination of plows, sanders and deicers were on the roads, making the most of the small window of opportunity that slightly warmer temperatures has opened. However, with overnight lows expected to be 20 degrees of less, crews today and again tonight will use sand and liquid deicer to get roads ready for Wednesday morning's commute.
Since Dec. 6, Public Works has applied approximately 625 cubic yards of sand and 3,100 gallons of liquid deicer and logged 1,250 personnel hours responding to the storm. Total response expenditures to date exceed $90,000.
Members of Eugene Public Works incident command staff met today with school district officials to identify key bus routes if schools are open tomorrow. The ice-snow emergency parking ban remains in effect and will continue to be evaluated on a day-to-day basis.
Public Works crews also have been working to clear sidewalk access ramps s in the downtown area and sidewalks in front of City buildings. Property owners citywide are responsible for keeping sidewalks safe adjacent to their property. Similar to street conditions, in areas of heavy foot traffic the snow has been compacted into an icy mass that can be very difficult to remove with a hand shovel.
For additional information about the ice-snow emergency, go to www.eugene-or.gov/snow. To report hazardous situations in the public rights of way, call 682-4800 or online at www.eugene-or.gov/pwservice. Requests for service will be responded to based on public safety priorities and availability of resources.

Q: Customized error message on loading error of PDF in PDFTron I am working with PDFTron - WebViewer,
Want to know how to handle PDF loading errors and showing customized message, in case of web-viewer
Regards
Bhupesh

A: The easiest way to do this right now is to modify the ErrorModal component in the UI and replace the error messages there. You'll need to string match the old message and replace it with your own.
The component is located at ui/src/components/ErrorModal/ErrorModal.js and you'll want to change the onError function.
This link describes more about how to edit and build the UI https://www.pdftron.com/documentation/web/guides/ui/advanced-customization

A: WebViewer has methods that let you display a modal Warning message box, which can be dismissed with its Confirm button or a click outside the dialog, or you can display a modal Error box which has no dismiss buttons and requires you to hit [F5] to refresh the page.

*

*https://www.pdftron.com/api/web/UI.html#.showWarningMessage

*https://www.pdftron.com/api/web/UI.html#.displayErrorMessage
Using these is more straightforward than editing the UI code from the pdftron github repo.

Watch Richard Okigbazi win Bronze in Discus For Nigeria – THROWING ON ONE LEG!
Exactly a week ago this morning, Nigeria won it's very first Athletics medal at the just concluded Commonwealth Games, a Bronze in the F42/44 Men's Discus Throw by Richard Okigbazi. The F42 and F44 classifications are for Athletes with single leg amputations (above or below the knee respectively) or similar leg impairments. As the Commonwealth Games drew to a close yesterday for another 4 years, we felt it important to shed more light on the amazing feat of Richard Okigbazi winning this Bronze medal, especially considering that it was ONE of only TWO medals Nigeria's men won in Track & Field! Here is a fan-made clip of him throwing:
What makes his feat even more impressive is that, while most competitors in this category used their prosthetic legs to compete, Okigbazi threw balanced on just one leg, and as can be seen from the video above, throws his leg support away just before making the throw! One blogger even called it one of the most incredible sporting things they had ever seen! Okigbazi was able to generate enough power to launch the discuss an whopping 39.38 metres, which was enough to grab him the Bronze! When the F42 and F44 classes are combined, a points system was used to calculate the medal placements:
Having gotten to experience singing the National Anthem THREE times in a packed Hampden Park in Glasgow last week (for GOLD medals in women's 100m, 200m and Long Jump), there is one certain line which resonated very well with onlookers in the crowd as we belted out each line with immense pride at being Nigerian: "The Labour of our heroes past shall never be in vain!" Let's make sure that the labour of Richard Okigbazi in doing Nigeria proud at the Commonwealth Games, and the labour of all our Para-Athletes past and present shall never be in vain.
The Labours of our Para-Athletes must not be forgotten. Richard Okigbazi won BRONZE
by throwing 39.38 metres in the F42/44 Discus – THROWING ON JUST ONE LEG!

While our able-bodied athletes were not able to get a single medal at the London 2012 Olympics, our Paralympians won TWELVE medals in all – SIX GOLD, FIVE Silver & ONE Bronze, but they don't get nearly as much praise or recognition for the feats they achieve in the face of great adversity. Let's celebrate them and continue supporting them, financially and otherwise, to continue putting Nigeria on the map globally! Share this story with someone today, to inspire them to greatness despite whatever challenges they may face. CONGRATULATIONS Richard Okigbazi, COMMONWEALTH BRONZE MEDALLIST! Onwards and upwards to Rio!

Extract of sample "Social Welfare, History, Values and Beliefs"
Download file to see previous pages From the essay it is clear that the present day American culture began from as early as the past 10,000 years, upon the arrival of the Paleo-Indian from Europe, Oceania and Asia to establish the current United States. America is an ethically and racially diverse society with unique music, cultural, folklore and social practices. The great diversity of the United States is attributable to the massive immigration of people from different parts of the world during the historic period. Europeans including Irish, English, Scotts and Welsh bear great responsibility for influencing the initial shape of the American society. British in particular had greatest impact on American culture due to their close colonial links that fostered widespread use of the English language, use of British legal systems and adoption of general British cultural practices.
According to the report findings American culture is a collection of various elements that include liberal and conservatism ideologies, scientific and religious competitiveness, materialism and morality as well as free expression. Besides the influences of consistent principles and ideologies, American culture is also awash with evolved indigenous Latin, Asian and African-American cultures. The seeming neutral nature of the American culture is an indication of integration of many cultures whose compatibility mostly depends on political ideologies, social class and various demographic factors. ...Download file to see next pagesRead More

Furthermore, it is suggested that the social welfare policy has a strong influence and great power to change overall social well being in a positive manner. To solve this social problem, the personalization of social work played a very positive role to solve the problem. The reason... is that...

Wikimedia currently has no succession plan or leave of absence program for Board members who can not fulfill their duties for a period.
This could make achieving a quorum harder in the rare event of the Board needing to vote. It also leaves the absent member liable for events they are unaware of.
The August 2005 edition of the Board Cafe newsletter recommended succession planning "even when no one is anticipating a change in leaders", noting that "illness and other events can lead to sudden and unanticipated departures".
Succession plans should be created to ensure the continuous coverage of Board duties and continuous community representation on the Board. It would be useful for such plans to cover not only Board members, but all people relevant to the operation of the Foundation. As a first step, descriptions of the roles and duties of all relevant people should be written so we know what functions need to be replaced if a person leaves. See, for example, Board of Trustees, official positions, and Wikimedia staff. Plans are needed both for expected absences, and also for unplanned ones, of differing periods, including permanent ones. Any leave of absence program that is developed should take into account whether the Trustee's term will be extended if that member was one of the elected Trustees. We should decide who is authorized to implement such a plan.
The Board Cafe newsletter asks the following questions:
If the executive is suddenly unable to serve, is it clear to everyone who will be the Acting Executive until the board can meet and decide?
Does the Board of Directors have the right mix of members for hiring the new executive?
Is the executive director's job doable-that is, could the job be done by a regular human being? Too often a successful executive director has, over time, taken on so many responsibilities that it would be nearly impossible to find another such superhero. A succession plan will identify the critical functions of the executive job, designate an emergency back-up for each function, and prepare the organization for both planned and unplanned executive transitions or vacancies.
Is the salary of the current executive director much lower than what you should pay a new executive?
Can you cover a fundraising dip? The chief money raiser in most nonprofits is the executive director. It will take time for his or her successor to develop the relationships with donors that are essential to the incumbent's fundraising success. Succession planning should include raising funds for the transition. Fundraising and business relationships can also be institutionalized by bringing board members and other staff into relationships now held only by the ED.
Are there any obvious candidates for the job?
When was the last time that succession was on the board meeting agenda?

What Hallmark taught Keion Jackson about writing kids TV
From creating greeting cards to a story editor gig for Silvergate and 9 Story, as well as a first-look deal with Sesame, Jackson has big plans in the kids space, starting with a Cookie Monster segment about cinnamon toast.
Roses are red, violets are blue, if you need someone to write a Valentine's Day card, Keion Jackson can probably help you. If you're looking for a last-minute card with just the right message you should definitely track Jackson down at this year's Kidscreen Summit, since the now prolific kids TV writer (who is sitting on the Groundwork for Growth: Setting New Creators Up To Succeed panel later today) on shows for Sesame Workshop, 9 Story and Silvergate actually got his start at Hallmark.
Fresh from college, Jackson joined the famous card maker where he wrote everything from greeting cards to catchphrases for stuffed animals and even sassy mugs. But while he was there he actually learned a lot of lessons that apply to kids TV.
"It was this anthropological thing where you have to study trends and relationships and culture in order to be able to write about people's life experiences," says Jackson.
At 21, he had to write cards for 20th wedding anniversaries, and one from a grandmother to her grandchild. Stepping in and out of those experiences taught him to think about how other people may experience their milestones, which today helps him write characters, skills he carries into all of the TV shows, plays and books he's writing now.
But more than that, he learned about rejection while he was writing humor cards, since the department has a 90% rejection rate. (One of his favorite ultimately rejected ideas featured two toilets with one saying to the other, "You look beautiful tonight." "Stop that, you're making me flush," landed the punchline.)
While at Hallmark, he also worked on six children's books for the media company's publishing banner, including Super Me!, Jellyfish's Bright Idea and The Dream Machine.
Working on these books sparked the desire to write for kids, leading him to the kids entertainment world, which "marries art with purpose," he says. He got his foot in the door with the Sesame Street Writers' Room Diversity Workshop.
"Keep in mind I was in Missouri, which is very far away from the happening, very far away from this culture," says Jackson.
He kept his job at Hallmark all throughout the workshop (and didn't quit until 2018—"I have bills so I couldn't just stop everything, I was learning and hoped that I could meet a puppet but I couldn't completely jump in while Sallie Mae is knocking on my door so I was going back and forth for awhile.") But the experience led to a development deal, followed by a first-look deal with Sesame and writing credits for seasons 49 and 50 of Sesame Street.
While he can't share much about his project, he says it is deep into development and will hopefully go into production soon. In the meantime, he's also got other projects on the go with 9 Story and Silvergate, on which he served as story editor for each company on two unannounced series.
Still fresh in his kids career, he attributes much of his early success to being true to his own voice. "I wrote as myself with a southern voice. The things that I did with language were rooted in hip hop, rooted in southern baptist call and answer," says Jackson. (When his first-ever episode of TV aired—a Cookie Monster segment about cinnamon toast in January 2019—his family and friends gathered for a watch-party.)
And while working on iconic characters is a dream opportunity, he also sees it as his responsibility as a black man in the room to work as hard as he can and open the door for others like him. To further those efforts on screen, he wants to write characters that dig deeper and explore culture in a nuanced way. There's a misconception in the industry that diversity is for diverse people, he says. But if only black people watched Black Panther or listening to Beyonce, neither would be nearly as popular as they are.
In his view, diverse representation on screen succeeds when characters are rooted in the culture they're trying to represent. Overly generic won't work. "Kids TV needs to get really specific and allow characters of color to have the same fun as other characters. I think the true opportunities lie in what race and culture really mean in a person's lived experience," Jackson says.

Chill Dad William H. Macy Hopes His Daughters Have a Lot of Sex
By Madeleine Aggeler@mmaggeler

William H. Macy isn't like a regular dad, he's a cool dad. And he is not here for your patriarchal parenting norms.
In an interview with Us Weekly last week, the Shameless actor said he's not going to be the stereotype of the overprotective dad when his two daughters, Sofia, 17, and Georgia, 16, start bringing home romantic partners. Per Us:
William H. Macy agrees the dad with a shotgun trope needs to end. The Shameless actor, who shares daughters Sofia, 17, and Georgia, 16, with Felicity Huffman, will welcome any boyfriends with open arms.
"You know, I started doing all the cliches, 'I'm gonna threaten the guys, I'm gonna dig a moat around our house,'" Macy, 68, told Us Weekly while promoting his Showtime drama in L.A. on Thursday, May 24. "And then I thought, 'OK, what do you really want for your daughters?' And I realized: I want them to be happy and lusty and safe. I want them to have a lot of sex in their lifetime! Good, healthy wonderful sex with no guilt. That's what I really want."
Macy also says that "boys are in the picture" for his daughters, and that they have coed sleepovers with their friends, but "I don't think they have sex, well, I know they don't."
Many thanks to William H. Macy for being a woke dad, and also for inspiring my next tattoo — a lower-back piece that reads: "Happy. Lusty. Safe."

AE09	A lovely view along the canal.
Description This was a pleasant walk following the Grand Union Canal northwards out of London to the M25.
Condition I have a couple of little blisters on my toes on both feet, but nothing major. This was my firsy walk for over two months, anf so I am quite pleased that I managed to get as far as I did.
Weather Nice. There has been snow for the last couple of nights, but nothing that lasted. The sun was out for most of the day and there was absolutely no sign of any rain. An altogether pleasant day.
This was a quite enjoyable walk, made the more so by the fact that it was my first walk for over two months, the foot and mouth epidemic having got in the way of my other planned walks. However, yesterday the British Waterways website showed that the towpath of the stretch that I wanted to do was open, and so I set off.
It had been my intention to only walk as far north as Rickmandworth, which would have been a short walk to get me back into the habit of walking again. When I reached there, however, I was feeling fine, and so I decided to extend the walk further north. This invovled me getting slightly more tired than I would haveliked, but did at least give me a throoughly good workout.
I have prevously walked the stretch of canal from Tring to Hemel Hempstead, and so an extension of this walk of just over three miles would have seen my connect the two stretches. However by the time I reached the bridge under the M25 I was feeling considerably more fatigued, and I had been informed by a cyclist that the towpath north of Lock 69 was blocked for the building of a marina (although this blockage was not on the British Waterways website). Not wanting to have to walk along roads or risk a lengthy diversion, I chose to wimp out and finish my walk short. This means that I have a three mile section to complete sometime, although I will probably extend this to Amersham.
Many people percieve canal walking as boring and not "true" walking, but I disagree - although it does not generally offer the wide expansive views that fell walking can do, it does offer nice, direct routes between places with at least some hope of finding shops, pubs and accomodation at handy intervals. Also I find that being alongside the water allows me to relax my thoughts in a tranquil and serene environment without really having to concentrate on navigation.
Unfortunately this will be the last walk that I do in this country for a while. I had planned to walk from Fort William up to Cape Wrath along the west coast of Scotland over three weeks starting next Saturday, but the foot and mouth crisis has put a hold on that until next year. Instead I am going over to Australia to see Sam, and I may get one or two day's walking in over there. I have yet to figure out a way that I'm going to fit it into the map of my walks.
The section of towpath from Uxbridge to Rickamsnworth is very attractive, and it is hard to imagine that you are on the outskirts of London. On the left hand side of the canal are a series of abondoned cravel puts, now flooded and lakes, one of which is a nature reserves run by the Hertfordshire and Middlesex Wildlife Trust.
Batchworth Locks is actually two sets of locks; the right-hand one carries the Grand Union Canal, and the left hand one descends down to the River Chess. There was a very nice cafe by Batchworth Lock in Rickmansworth, and I stopped here for a quick sandwich under some canvas that was stretched between poles on ana island between the locks. It made for a very enjoyable location, and he rest allowed me to regain some strength ready for the rest of the walk.
The end of the walk between Watford and Kings Langley was far less picturesque as it passed under a branch of the M25 motorway, an A road and the M25 itself in clode succession and the roar of motor vehicles is never really left. If you avoid gazing upwards towards the roads and look to the fields alongside the canal then the section becomes more bearable; the livestock in the fields must get used to the noise at an early age.
The directions for this walk are very simple. Turn left out of West Drayton Station and walk to the end of the road. At a T-junction turn right and after a very short distance a bridge over the canal is found. The steps down to the canal towpath can be found on the far (northern) side of the bridge on the right-hand side of the road. When you reach the towpath turn right and head under the bridge.
It is now simply a case of following the canal as it heads northwards, squeezed between the M25 and the westernmost boundary of London. Uxbridge is the first settlement reached, and there is a nice pub right next to the towpath in the centre of the town.
From Uxbridge the canal passes northwards through a rural area and under a large but graceful brick railway viaduct before turning northeastwards to Batchworth, on the southern edge of Rickmansworth.
The canal continues northeastwards from Rickmansworth, but soon turns northwards past Cassiobury Park and the edge of Grove Park before passing under a series of bridges carrying the M25 and other roads. The last two of these bridges is a twin viaduct, and soon Home Park Farm Lock is reached. Leave the towpath at the lock and climb onto the bridge above it. Turn east down this road past some industrial buildings until a T-junction is reached. Turn right down this road and walk a very short distance to Kings Langley Station.
This makes a total distance of 16.6 miles, with 345 feet of ascent and 198 feet of descent.
West Drayton Station is served by trains out of Paddington, and Kings Langley by trains to Euston. Therefore travel between the two involves going into the centre of London and a train journey, a time-consuming exercise.
