A Letter from Jourdan Anderson
Many of you have probably used the remarkable letter of a former slave by the name of Jourdan Anderson sent a letter to his former master. The roughly 800-word letter, which was a crafty response to a missive from Colonel P.H. Anderson, Jourdan's former master back in Big Spring, Tennessee. Apparently, Col. Anderson had written Jourdan asking him to come on back to the big house to work. I created the timeline below from internet resources to set the historical context for my students.
Life in Tennessee 1823 to 1864
1823 General Paulding Anderson's son Patrick Henry Anderson is born in Big Spring, TN (Wilson County)
1825 – Jourdan Anderson is born in December, some place in Tennessee.
1833 – Jourdan Anderson (age 8) becomes the slave of General Paulding Anderson and is given to his son Patrick Henry Anderson (age 10) as as playmate and personal servant
1844 – Patrick Henry Anderson (age 21) married Mary A. McGregor. She brought with her at least two servants, Amanda McGregor (age 15) and her mother, Priscilla McGregor (age 43). Patrick took several of his father's slaves to his new home, including Jourdon.
1848 – Jourdan (age 23) married Amanda McGregor (age 19), Over 52 years of marriage theuy will have 11 children. The children born in Tennessee "seem" to have been Matilda, Catherine, Mildred (known as Milly) circa 1848, Jane circa 1851 and Felix Grundy, born on March 14, 1859. I use the word "seem" because there are no concrete records that prove Matilda and Catherine were Jourdon and Amanda's children.
There was a Felix Grundy who served as a US Senator from Anderson's home state of Tennessee in the 1830s who has a Tennessee county named after him
1860 – According to the 1860 census and slave schedules, Patrick Henry Anderson (age 37) has five 'slave houses' on his plantation totaling 32 people (19 males and 13 females) Before the start of the Civil War. P.H. Anderson had a personal estate valued at $92,000 (2.867 million in 2018 dollars)
1861 – April 12th Confederate artillery fired on the Union garrison at Fort Sumter marking the start of the Civil War ; June 8th Tennessee became the last state to secede from the Union. When the Civil War began in 1861, Jordan's life changed very little and he still continued to dutifully work the plantation for his master with his wife.
1864 – Union Soldiers happened upon the Anderson plantation. Upon encountering Jordan, the soldiers granted him, his wife and children their freedom, making the act official with papers from the Provost Marshal General of Nashville
Upon being granted his freedom, Jordan immediately left the plantation which angered P.H. Anderson's son Henry (age 18) to such an extent that he shot at Jordan as he was leaving, only ceasing to fire when a neighbor, George Carter, grabbed Henry's pistol from him. Reportedly, Henry vowed to kill Jordan if he ever set foot on his property again.
Jordan and Mandy worked for a time at the Cumberland Military Hospital in Nashville under the surgeon in charge Dr. Clarke McDermont. Jordan and Mandy, with the help of Dr. Clarke McDermont, relocated to Dayton, Ohio in August of 1864
Life in Dayton, Ohio 1865 to 1905
1865 – Following his departure from the plantation, Jordan worked briefly in a Nashville field hospital, becoming close friends with a surgeon called Dr Clarke McDermont. When the Civil War ended in 1865, McDermont helped Jordan and his family move to Dayton, Ohio and put him in contact with his father-in-law, Valentine Winters, an abolitionist who helped him secure work in the town.
For the most part, Jordan's life in Dayton was uneventful, with his time spent working with a stoic sense of quiet dignity, supporting his family and making sure his many children received a good education, something the illiterate Jordan was never given the opportunity to have. (In fact, it was noted that while still a slave, when an unspecified white girl tried to teach one of his children to read, the girl was beaten for it and forced to stop.)
As it turns out, following the Civil War, the Anderson Plantation had fallen into complete disrepair, as is wont to happen when your entire workforce leaves pretty much all at once.
Deeply in debt, in a desperate attempt to save himself from total financial ruin, Henry reached out to the only man he knew who not only had the skills needed for the harvest, but also potentially the clout to convince some of the other slaves to return for paid work- Jordan Anderson. The letter also promised that Jordan would be paid and be treated as a free man if he returned.
He is a list of the payments requested by Jourdan from his former master and the 2017 equivalents:
Jourdan – $25.00 ($400.00 in 2017 dollars) per month for 32 years
Mandy – $8.00 ($120.00 in 2017 dollars) per month for 20 years
$11,600.00 ( $175,000 in 2017 dollars) with interest
1867 – A penniless Colonel P.H. Anderson dies of heart attack at age 44
1870 – Census records show Jordon Anderson living in Ohio with Mandy, four children (Jane, Felix, William, and Andrew). Jordan will find work as a janitor, coachman, laborer and sexton.
1905 – The Dayton Daily Journal publishes Jordan Anderson's obituary. He was 79 years old.

M.A.P out Manifest Destiny
Manifest Destiny – An Expression of Our National Spirit [1848 to 1852]
Manifest Destiny, one of the most influential ideologies in American history, serves as the
justification for the nation's territorial expansion in the antebellum era.
In the 19th century, manifest destiny was a widely held belief in the United States that its settlers were destined to expand across North America to redeem and remake the west in the image of agrarian America
Mobility – both physical and socio-economic
Availability – of federal land grants
Possibility – of starting a new life

Veterans Day is an opportunity to thank those who have served our country. These Veterans Day movies are a great way to remind yourself of the struggles our soldiers endure.
Veterans Day is observed annually on November 11 in the United States and serves to honor all those who have served in the US Armed Forces. This holiday originated as Armistice Day (a holiday still celebrated in many countries), which marked the anniversary of the Armistice with Germany that ended World War I. Since 1954, Armistice Day was officially renamed Veterans Day in the US. Since many workers and students have Veterans Day off, it is a good day for celebration in honor of the many men and women who have served in the US Armed Forces (as well as those still on active duty). One easy way to observe Veterans Day is to pick out a war movie or two to watch in observance of the holiday. To help you choose, here are 10 Veterans Day movies to help you honor those who have served our country.
The opening scene of this 1998 classic depicts the 1944 invasion of Omaha Beach as part of the Normandy Invasions. This iconic scene, regarded as a shockingly accurate portrayal of D-Day, sets the stage for one of the greatest war films of all time. Saving Private Ryan, directed by Steven Spielberg, is the story of a small group of soldiers under the command of Captain Miller (Tom Hanks) as they search for a young paratrooper played by Matt Damon—the titular Private Ryan. This powerful tale of brotherhood is heartbreaking and inspiring at the same time, and an excellent choice for your Veterans Day viewing.
Black Hawk Down is based on the true story of the brief Battle of Mogadishu in Somalia in 1993. The battle was the result of a short mission gone awry: a simple extraction, expected to take about an hour, spiraled into an overnight standoff that lead to the deaths of 19 American soldiers. Like Saving Private Ryan, this Ridley Scott-directed film has intense scenes of horrifying violence and heartbreaking losses, but it is a masterful film well worth your time.
General George S. Patton was a controversial American general during World War II. Patton was a brilliant strategist, winning several key victories on the European front and playing a vital role during the Battle of the Bulge. However, Patton was also outspoken to a fault and arguably abusive to his own soldiers, including one infamous incident (depicted in the film) where Patton slapped a pair of shell-shocked soldiers, called them cowards, and ordered them back to the front line. This award-winning epic biography, simply titled Patton, paints a broad portrait of this complex and uncompromising military genius.
Many of the other Veterans Day movies on this list are notable for the accurate portrayals of important events in US military history. Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds does quite the opposite by portraying a "what could have been" alternate history of two plots to assassinate some of the most infamous leaders of World War II. Despite being a highly stylized work of fiction, Inglourious Basterds manages to capture the spirit of defiance felt by the many opponents of the Nazi regime. Featuring the talents of such acting luminaries as Christoph Waltz and Brad Pitt, Inglourious Basterds is one of the best military movies for you to enjoy on Veterans Day.
American Sniper is based on the autobiography of the same name by Chris Kyle, a US Navy Seal during the War in Iraq. Despite making a name for himself as one of the deadliest snipers in American history, Kyle's multiple tours of duty began to take a heavy toll on his personal life. Tragically, Kyle was murdered by a fellow veteran with PTSD. While this film has garnered controversy due to its portrayal of the War in Iraq, American Sniper is really about the treatment of veterans in the United States, making it one of the most poignantly importance Veterans Day movies you'll see.
For those seeking lighter Veterans Day movies than the likes of American Sniper and Black Hawk Down, an action-packed romp like Top Gun may be just the ticket. A review of this classic 1986 film tells the story of Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer as pilots at the US Navy's prestigious Naval Fighter Weapons School in San Diego, California. Top Gun follows the intense competition between students at the academy as well as the romance between Cruise's character "Maverick" and an instructor portrayed by Kelly McGillis. Featuring a satisfying mix of action and drama, Top Gun is a winning choice.
If you want Tom Cruise to be a part of your Veterans Day marathon, but you'd rather watch an intense legal drama than an action film, pick up A Few Good Men. Cruise stars alongside legendary actor Jack Nicholson in this gripping tale of the court-martial of two US marines accused of murdering a fellow soldier. The cast is rounded out by Demi Moore, Kevin Bacon, and Kiefer Sutherland in this Rob Reiner-directed masterpiece. Even if you've yet to see A Few Good Men, you've no doubt heard its iconic line: "You can't handle the truth!"
Here is another masterful depiction of American soldiers during World War II. Unlike the other WWII films on this list, which largely focus on the European campaign, The Thin Red Line depicts a fictionalized account of a platoon of soldiers in the Pacific Theater. The central conflict in the film is the Battle of Mount Austen, which took place three years before the much more famous Battle of Iwo Jima. Featuring a phenomenal ensemble cast that includes Jim Caviezel, Adrien Brody, Sean Penn, George Clooney, and Woody Harrelson, this film was nominated for seven Academy Awards and has featured on many top-ten lists.
This much-lauded historical drama takes place during the Civil War, but the primary focus is on the personal and political life of Abraham Lincoln (played by Daniel Day-Lewis in an Academy Award-winning performance). Lincoln follows the final few months of the title figure's life as he participated in peace talks with the Confederacy and the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment (which abolished slavery). This film was masterfully produced under the direction of Steven Spielberg and is well worth your time this Veterans Day.
While certainly not a historically accurate war film like many other on this list, I submit that Captain America: The First Avenger is nonetheless one of the most enjoyable Veterans Day movies. True to his name, Captain America, AKA Steve Rogers (played by Chris Evans) is the embodiment of the ideal American soldier: bold, cunning, and willing to lay down his life for his allies. Luckily, nothing quite so dark happens in this film, despite the many other things you probably didn't know about The First Avenger. Mostly, the first Captain America film is an adventure film in WWII-era America, as a weak and frail, but uncompromisingly brave man is chosen to be the subject of an experiment that propels him to peak physical condition in order to best serve his country.


MIDDLETOWN, Conn. – Senior forward Cici Frattasio scored twice on Saturday afternoon, including a late score to cut the deficit to one with just over six minutes to play, but the Wesleyan University field hockey team's late rally came up short as the Cardinals lost to Bates College, 4-2.
Despite the loss, which drops Wesleyan to 2-4 overall and 0-2 in the NESCAC, sophomore goalkeeper Delaney Wood was terrific in net as she registered nine saves. The Bobcats were led by Taylor Lough, who also scored twice, as they improve to 3-3 overall and 1-2 in the conference.
The Cardinals put two shots on net in the opening minutes, but it was Bates who got on the board first when Ally Leahy redirected a pass from Grace Firtzgerald into the back of the net at the 14:57 mark.
However, Wesleyan quickly responded as Frattasio sent one past goalkeeper Adelae Durand roughly 30 seconds later to tie the game at 1-1.
Neither team would score the rest of the half.
After 4:21 of scoreless action in the second, Lough redirected a pass from Emily Gianunzio for her first goal of the game as the Bobcats took a 2-1 advantage.
The visitor's increased their lead to two with 11:15 to play in regulation as Victoria McGee scored the game winner.
Frattasio got the Cardinals within one at the 63:53 mark, but less than three minutes later, Lough put the game away with her second score of the contest to seal the win for Bates.
Frattasio and Ali Friend '19 each registered two shots on goal to the lead Wesleyan offensively, while Lough and Caroline O'Reilly totaled four and three for the Bobcats, respectively.
Bates held a 22-9 advantage in shots and 9-5 lead in penalty corners.
Goalkeeper Alyssa Souza started the second half for the visitor's and earned the victory.
The Cardinals return to Smith Field on Tuesday, Sept. 26 and will host Tufts at 6 p.m. under the lights.

Why is Loading Times important for your Blog?
If you Blog or Website takes a long time to load compared to other sites it can have big impact in both Search Engines Ranking and the bounce rate of your Blog. If your Blog like this one is running on the CMS WordPress platform you properly know that there is a lot of free plug-ins and widgets that you easily can implement on your blog. The problem with some of those plug-ins and widgets is that they sometime can slowdown the load time of your entire Blog. It might not be the case just when you add them to your blog, but if they are using an external server to retrieve data or images your blog will be depending on that external servers reliability. The problem is that it can be very difficult to figure out what plug-in or widget that is causing the problem if you make a lot of changes on your blog.
With Google Analytics you can monitor the Avg. Page Load Time to see when the problem started. That might help you figure out when the problem started and might help you to find the problem and monitor site speed over time.
With the Pingdom Online Tools you can get a detailed report about load times for plug-ins scripts and images. With this report you can easy see what component is causing a long load time. It might get you to reconsider which plug-ins is important and which one you are better off without.
Google's own online Page Speed tool. Like Pingdom's tool you will get a report, but this one is more focused on in what areas you should put in some extra effort to improve load times.
Before I end this post let me share a couple of tips with you about improving Loading Times on your blog.
Limit the numbers of plug-ins. Only keep the plug-ins you really can't live without.
Optimize your images. Resize, crop and compress all your images.
Monitor your blog and plug-ins to figure out what is damaging your blog the most.
One of the best ways to improve page performance is to do baseline testing. Use PageSpeed/Pingdom to test your site now. Then disable all plugins and run tests again. Add plugins back 1 by 1 and retest after each add to find which ones hurt performance the most.
Caching really does help as does CDN, W3 Total Cache + Cloudflare if you don't want to pay any money is a really good option to improve page performance if you are on a tight budget and can't afford a CDN like MaxCDN or Amazon S3.
Those are my tips, and using them I went from a Google PageSpeed score of 82 – 92 with the various tweaks.
That is some great tips. I think I will have to look on the W3 Total Cache plugin again. I removed it when I had problems with my old host, but have not yet tried it after moving to my new host. Thank you for sharing your tips.
When using W3 Total Cache, pay attention to object and database caching, some hosting providers have poor "disk read/write" speeds so turning on caching to disk can cause worse performance. Each hosting provider is different, so test and try the various options in W3 Total Cache to see which combo gives best benefit, all of them on isn't necessarily the best.
Thanks for the tip Justin. I think that I will get better result with W3 Total Cache with my new host. My blog has been running a lot better since I made the move. I will have to do some testing to figure out what gives the best results.
Thanks for those tools that you've shared here. Site owners should really make it a point to check their site's loading speed because it's a big factor that makes readers want to stay. If your content takes long to load, the more likely they'll hit "close" or "back".
A lot of people just keep on adding funny plugins and widgets without knowing how much they are hurting their own Blog.
Thanks for the links. I tested my site against this on whicloadsfaster.com, guess who won?
I was considering this recently when going to my blog it seemed to take a long time to open. Thanks for the advice I will be going through what gadgets or images are slowing down the load time.
As a blog visitor at times, I find loading of time is a big factor for me whether I'll be a constant visitor or not. That's in addition of the easy to navigate and blog design as well. Knowing these simple ways in improving the loading times would be very useful to every blog owner.
I agree. Loading time is important. If I do Google Search and get like 200.000 results, the first site I click on better load in a matter of a few seconds otherwise I hit the back button and try another one. I think a lot of people have it like that. Navigation is very important too.
Ah yeah! Same here. I'm doing the same thing. First, I would try to open at least 5 links based on 1st page result provided by Google. Then I'll do the elimination process including the loading of page and the structure of the contents as well so navigation is important too like what I've said. I actually have a high speed internet that's why I'm a bit impatient if a blog is loading too slow.
This is really good to know Thomas.
It's been a little over a month but I had one friend email me telling me that my site was taking forever to load. I had a few other friends test it and they didn't have any problems. I tested it and had no problem either. He said it wasn't his internet connection because it only concerned him because it was only my site.
I only have the plug-ins I like plus I have some for protection purposes. I read where Justin recommended using W3 Total Cache but I've had nothing but problems with that plug-in. To the extent I couldn't even access my dashboard. Haven't replaced it since I don't know a good alternative.
Thanks for this interesting post and I appreciate all the sites you have provided that we can check our blogs out as well. I'm hovering around a low 80 right now. I'm sure it can always be better.
Thank you for your comment. I think I will give W3 Total Cache a second change soon. I guess there is always something we can improve on our blogs right? Enjoy your Sunday Adrienne.
I'm wondering if the image file type matters in loading time. I mean, does having a PNG image loads faster than having a JPEG?
I guess that it is the size of the image and not the file type that matters. What I have been told is that jpeg is best for photos and png is best for vector graphics.
Good post Thomas. I wasn't aware of my site's loading time before reading this post. The sites your provided for checking load time is very useful.
I still remember when rumors started about Google taking loading speed into consideration. People were climbing the walls. Normal SEO went on second place and everyone was going to the Code for solutions to speed things up.
But things have gotten much easier now, the info is everywhere.
You are maybe right, but there are still a lot of people that are forgetting or are not paying attention to the load speed of their blog.
Thanks for three your tips for increasing blog loading time. I have a blog which it have long time loading. May be it caused by many plugin installed.
It might be time for you to do some plugin testing and figure out which one you really need and which you don't.
Really?Now I know,I already experiencing it and I wonder why and I thought it has something to do with the net connection..Great tips thank for sharing it to us..
Thomas, loading speed is of such critical importance, it should be the top priority of every blogger. Before content, before building backlinks, before everything. If your site takes too long to load, you will have no readers. I have been there. Check your speed periodically.
I am not sure it should go before content, but it is for sure very important and it is something a lot of people don't look into.
Can you recommend any caching plugins for wordpress? I have a slow site and my host recommended WP SuperCache but wanted a second opinion.
I don't use anyone myself at the moment, but I have heard a lot of good things about "W3 Total Cache". I think that would be the first one I would try.
Thank's for sharing your thoughts and good advice. I have a boat load of plugins on my WordPress blog and I have seen my page load speeds gradually declining.
It's a job to know what ones to get shot of, as I really like most of them. I suppose I'm gonna just have to bite the bullet and clean up my act.
Thank's again for an interesting and infomative post.
It can be difficult to select which plugin to remove but for a start you can just disable some of them and see if it helps on the load time of your blog.
Another great post, thanks for sharing some tools.
When I am searching for something on the web, it is really annoying when I visit a site and the loading time is soooo long. I usually get impatient and just leave.
I can only agree, I do the same and that is why it is important for bloggers to keep focus on this matter.
Nice, thanks bro for providing this great information. It will helps me a lot and other's with blog sites.
Thanks for this post Thomas, I've been having high bounce rates to my site, and was thinking of adding new features to counter. I never first thought about the page load times. I'm gonna have a look at these tools now and investigate.
I use Google Page Speed and it works best for me.
Google Page Speed are very good to point out what you need to improve.
It is very important that your blogs load faster else it may cause the audience to leave the page. so it is necessary to make the loading time faster by optimizing the files in the sites. Also uploading the pictures with heavy size should be reduced.
I have never aware of that since I read your post. It is so important to spend more loadingtime on my blog, If my Blog or Website takes a long time to load compared to other sites it can have big impact in both Search Engines Ranking and the bounce rate of my Blog.
Thanks for those tools that you've shared here.i learn how to check and improve Loading Times on Blogs now.some time my blog very slowly loading. but now i can change it correct.i agree with you.
Loading times on your blog is a common problem that bloggers facing. We wanted to make our blog more beautiful and attractive so we install many plugins not knowing that these plugins could slow down the process on our blogs. Luckily your giving us these ideas so thank you.
Great post providing the lot of knowledge for checking and improving Loading Times for a Blog.
You have capture al the essential information required for 'Page load testing and optimization'.
Of-course the mentioned three factors matter the loading of the page,but isn't it somewhere related to the bandwidth as well.
I mean if there will be limited network bandwidth resources available, how can someone then find out the loading time of the blog?
You can't do much about your visitor's bandwidth, but what you can do something about is the size of the pictures and scripts to improve load time of your blog. I have seen blogs and website that takes many seconds to load even on a very fast connection. That is not good for business and Google don't like it either.
Nice post Thomas but is it true that Drupal is more efficient than wordpress in most of the aspect like SEO, loading time, management etc.
I don't think that you can put it that way. It depends on the user that uses it. I am no expert in Drupal, but for WordPress there is a lot of plugins that can help with SEO and performance/caching. Some of them are great and some of them are not. It only takes one bad plugin do mess up something like loading time. I know some really good bloggers that are in the SEO business that are using WordPress. If don't think they will do that if WordPress was bad for SEO and loading time.
Take a look at the GTMetrix service. It will scan your site and provide recommendations for speeding it up. Also pulls information from YSlow and Google Page Speed.
Thanks for the tip Lorenzo.

Q: getting lowest available column number for insert postgres I have a application where I want clothing groups to be assigned to a rack number. The rack number should be as low as possible, and the groups are frequently replaced (recycled clothing). So how would I find the lowest possible rack_number on the following table?
clothing_groups table
[ id: sequal, rack_number:  smallint ]
Currently we are retrieving an ascended list of all rack_numbers iterating through them to find the first gap, and using it for the insertion of the next clothing_groups
SELECT
    rack_number
FROM
    clothing_groups
ORDER BY
    rack_number ASC;

Which seems to be suboptimal at best, I'd rather either retrieve a single row or preferrably do a subquery within the insert finding the first available rack_number
INSERT INTO
    clothing_groups (rack_number)
VALUES
   SELECT first_available_rack_number FROM clothing_groups WHERE ...

However I do not know if or how it is possible.
Any combination of rack_number rows is possible with gaps. That means it is possible for the sequence to be [1,2,3,4,5,6,8,12,14..., 231,432,500] and it changes dynamically based on the deletions and insertions. The only thing that is guaranteed is that there exists a "missing" number lower than 999.

A: One option uses a correlated subquery:
INSERT INTO clothing_groups (rack_number)
SELECT MIN(rack_number) + 1
FROM clothing_groups cg
WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM clothing_groups cg1 WHERE cg1.rack_number = cg.rack_number + 1)

You could also use window functions:
INSERT INTO clothing_groups (rack_number)
SELECT MIN(rack_number) + 1
FROM (
    SELECT rack_number, LEAD(rack_number) OVER(ORDER BY rack_number) lead_rack_number
    FROM clothing_groups
) cg
WHERE lead_rack_number IS DISTINCT FROM rack_number + 1

Los Alamos (Spanish: Los Álamos, meaning The Cottonwoods) is a census-designated place (CDP) in Santa Barbara County, California, United States. Although located in the Los Alamos Valley, the town of Los Alamos is usually considered to be a part of the Santa Ynez Valley community. Los Alamos is also connected to other cities Vandenberg AFB, Lompoc, Buellton, Solvang, and other Santa Barbara County cities. It is 140 miles (230 kilometres) northwest of Los Angeles and 281 miles (452 km) south of San Francisco. The population was 1,890 at the 2010 census, up from 1,372 at the 2000 census.
4 Community
In 1839, José Antonio de la Guerra, a son of José de la Guerra y Noriega received the Rancho Los Alamos Mexican land grant. The hills above Rancho Los Alamos served as a hideout for bandito, Salomon Pico, whose escapades were popularized by the character "Zorro".[5] During the U.S.'s centennial year of 1876, Thomas Bell along with his nephew John S. Bell, and Dr. James B. Shaw (all from San Francisco), purchased acreage from Rancho Los Alamos and neighboring Rancho La Laguna.[6] Both families allocated a half square mile from each of their new ranches to create the Los Alamos town site with "Centennial Street" as the central thoroughfare.
The Los Alamos Valley prospered and grew quickly serving as a popular stagecoach stop from 1861–1901. The Union Hotel opened in 1880 to serve overnight travelers. The narrow-gauge Pacific Coast Railway also ran to Los Alamos from San Luis Obispo between 1882–1940. Oil was discovered at the Orcutt field in hills north of Valley in 1901, and in the Purisima Hills south of the valley at the Lompoc Oil Field in 1903, providing more economic prosperity. The town flagpole at Centennial and Bell Street was dedicated in 1918. The Chamber of Commerce was active from 1920–32 and instrumental in forming a lighting district, obtaining telephone service, street paving and mail service. Residents today still pick-up their mail from the Post Office downtown, as no street delivery is available.[6]

All Ingredients To Die For carrier oils (vegetable oils) are cold pressed, and food grade, unless otherwise indicated in the description. We do not believe in the use of solvent extracted, nor hydrogenated oils, as these products may contain residual solvent or other unidentifiable components, which we believe jeopardize their therapeutic value.
Though these carrier oils (vegetable oils) are food grade oils, they are not intended for consumption. No product offered through Ingredients To Die For is intended for consumption. All products are for topical use in personal careproducts only.
All carrier oils (vegetable oils) should be stored, and handled, to avoid exposure to light, air and heat as much as possible. Carrier Oils do not spoil. They are subject to rancidity due to oxidationOxidation is caused by air, light and heat.
When pouring carrier oils (vegetable oils) from the bottle it will help to wipe the rim with alcohol to prevent the buildup of oils on the rim, which will quickly oxidize, if not removed thoroughly. For best results use a pipette to remove oil from the more fragile oil bottles, to avoid oxidation on the rim.
Do not store them under refrigeration, unless otherwise directed, as this will cause a drastic temperature variation from the product to the outside air, when removed for use, and will cause condensation inside the bottle, which is introducing water. If this happens you will be subjecting your carrier oils (vegetable oils) to the culprits that attack water, which are bacteria, mold and fungus, and may reduce the shelf life.
For a greener environmental impact our carrier oils (vegetable oils) are shipped in natural HDPE plastic. For protection from light we recommend that you cover the entire bottle with a dark, non transparent, label.
All butters should be handled, and stored, with the same, preventative, care that you would use for your carrier oils (vegetable oils) or any other precious material as they are just as fragile.
All Ingredients To Die For butters are gently refined unless otherwise indicated in the name / description.
As we know that excessive, and repeated exposure to, heat is damaging to the quality, of the butters, we do not heat them to pour them into jars for shipping. All of our butters are scraped, shaved or scooped, as needed to package them into jars, without applying heat. Because of this practice butters will always be packed into a container that is, roughly twice the size, of the melted butter. This means that if you order 16oz (1lb) of shea butter it will be packed into a 32oz (2lb) container as it requires twice the space. We would rather spend a little more for the package, in this case, than jeopardize the integrity, and quality, of the butter. If you receive your butters in a warmed condition, due to transit, the container will appear to be less than full. This is normal, and expected, as they are packaged by weight, not by volume. Butters can melt during summer months during transit.
Due to the minimal processing of our pure and natural botanical materials, including oils and butters, there may occasionally be some plant material (sediment) that is missed by the filtration system. Any butters, and especially Mango, may contain this plant material. This will look like dark grit which will settle to the bottom of the container as the butter cools. This only need to be filtered to remove it during use. We will always do our best to catch this and filter further to remove the sediment however, because of our policy to avoid heat we will not do this as a routine procedure. As this is the nature of pure and natural products we do not make any guarantee that any botanical materials will be free of plant material as most botanical materials are only filtered to remove solids when they are minimally processed and that is how we like our botanical materials to be processed.
We think you'll find that our carrier oils (vegetable oils) and butters, are of the highest quality and will appreciate the steps that we have taken to make sure that we deliver the value that you expect from us. Our customers are always telling us how much theylove our Shea Butter, for instance, because it's smooth and creamy, when solid, never gritty. Both Ingredients To Die For Shea Butter's are co-op sourced from W. Africa.

HALIFAX — The pending departure of almost 60 Saudi Arabian medical residents because of a diplomatic spat will cause surgical delays over the coming months, says an official with the Nova Scotia Health Authority.
Dr. Mark Taylor, executive medical director for the central zone, said "minor delays" of up to a few weeks would likely occur for scheduled surgeries as health officials look to fill gaps created by the departures.
"Patients who have been waiting for scheduled surgery, I would say there may be delays of up to a few weeks as a result of this but I don't think it will be more than that," said Taylor in an interview Monday. "I don't think the delays are likely to be major and probably we will be able to carry on because everybody takes up the slack."
Taylor said the health authority, Dalhousie University, and the provincial Health Department are in the process of determining specific needs in surgical areas facing acute problems including orthopedic, cardiac and neurosurgeries. Internal medicine is another area where "we have some problems" Taylor said.
According to the Dalhousie University website there are 59 Saudi physicians working to complete their residency at the Halifax school, although the health authority said in an email the number is 58.
Spokesman John Gillis confirmed there are 24 Saudi residents who work in surgical services including 10 of 23 residents in orthopedics and four of nine in cardiac surgery.
Gillis said those numbers include pediatric surgery so some of the residents would be primarily based at the IWK Children's Hospital rather than at facilities administered by the Nova Scotia Health Authority.
Taylor said it's possible people can be hired to work in the problem areas, although new trainees won't be introduced into the system until a new cohort arrives for the new academic year which begins July 1.
"Some of those trainees were very senior in their training, so some of them were providing highly sophisticated specialized medical services and those obviously can't be replaced with just anybody off the street," Taylor said.
He said some residents could prove very difficult to replace in the short term, which means more work over that period for local attending surgeons and other specialists.
Complicating matters, Taylor said, is that provinces with much larger medical schools such as Quebec and Ontario will also be looking to hire new health professionals.
"Many other Canadian health care training facilities are in the same position. McGill (University) and the University of Toronto are both in even worse situations than us so they will be trying to hire these people as well."
Medical residents have been told to return to Saudi Arabia by Aug. 31.
In an email, Health Department spokeswoman Tracy Baron confirmed a plan is being developed should the residents depart.
"All the parties are working hard to mitigate against those impacts, and it's too early to know what the clinical requirements and costs may be," said Baron.
The residencies, through Dalhousie's medical school, are funded by Saudi Arabia, and Health Minister Randy Delorey is on record as saying Nova Scotia can handle the losses.
Doctors Nova Scotia has also said the province could handle any initial problems. It pointed out that there didn't seem to be a direct impact on the recruitment and retention of doctors and it said many of the Saudis would have moved on to practice in other countries once their training was completed.
Taylor said the province had already previously announced that there will be 15 new residency positions added beginning next summer.
"So that will go some ways to dealing with this problem actually, since many of those positions will be taken up by new Canadian residents entering the system," he said.

Q: Dict to DataFrame with keys as column I have a dictionary with different length of values:
d = {'A': [1,1,1], 'B': [2], 'C': [3,3,3]}

How to turn it to dataframe, where keys are first column and values are second column?
clm1    clm2
A       1
A       1
A       1
B       2
C       3
C       3
C       3

I tried pd.DataFrame.to_dict with orint='index', but didn't get the desired result.
Many thanks!

A: Flatten values in list comprehension for list of tuples and pass to DataFrame constructor:
df = pd.DataFrame([(a,c) for a, b in d.items() for c in b], columns=['clm1','clm2'])
print (df)
  clm1  clm2
0    A     1
1    A     1
2    A     1
3    B     2
4    C     3
5    C     3
6    C     3

A: I suggest transforming your dict items to list then transform the obtained list to a dataframe with specifying the desired columns names
l=list(d.items())
df = pd.DataFrame(l,columns=['clm1','clm2'])


In this video I look at some pagan temples and statues and mosaics of pagan gods to get an idea of what pagan practice was actually like in Ancient Rome. I visit the Pantheon in Rome and several temples in the Roman town of Herculaneum. The video ends with a visit to the Mithraeum beneath The Basilica of Saint Clement.

Chandrayaan-2, India's second mission to the moon, has been put on hold due to technical injuries to its moon lander, Vikram.
This is the sixth time that the moon mission has been delayed since its original launch date in 2013.
K. Sivan, the ISRO chairman, maintains that this is not a 'delay' or 'postponement'.
India's second mission to the moon, Chandrayaan-2, has been put on hold yet again. The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) was reportedly looking for a window in mid-April for the launch but, Vikram, the moon lander for the mission, suffered minor injuries on two of its legs leaving the space agency in a quandary.
K. Sivan, the ISRO chairman, maintains that this is not a 'delay' or a 'postponement' as ISRO continues to search for a new launch window in May. A 12-member team, headed by Srinivasan RK, has also been formed to look into the anomalies that occurred during the Lander Drop test.
Some structural damage was found during the test. And, then it has been found that this was because the test configuration and orientation was wrong. We will do some modifications but we cannot say that Chandrayaan-2 is delayed or postponed as we are looking for an optimal launch window.
This is not the first time that Chandrayaan-2 has been pushed to a later date due to technical issues. In fact, the moon mission was initially supposed to take off in 2013, six years ago.
10Elon Musk just revealed 5 major updates to SpaceX's Mars spaceship project. Here's what we learned.


Microsoft have just unveiled their Xbox One, which features a 5 billion transistors. Specs-wise, we have 8GB of RAM, 500GB HDD, USB 3.0, Wi-Fi Direct, Blu-ray, 802.11n. Impressive, PC-like specs... what else do we have?
The Xbox One architecture is key: very easy access for developers to gain access to the hardware, the kernel of Windows, and what connects these two operating systems is something only Microsoft is capable of - which changes everything - the capabilities to switch between apps, games, and media is thanks to the built-in next-gen Kinect sensor. The Kinect camera captures 1080p video, finally.


Millions of people all over the world experience shooting, nagging and pinching pains as part of their daily lives. Until recently, many of these people have been using treatments that are not only ineffective but also short-lived and having unpleasant side effects. It is on this premise that Eazol was introduced into the market. This is a naturally formulated pain relief treatment that fights off the annoying symptoms of joint and muscle pain without affecting the natural processes of the body.
As opposed to acute pain which lasts for a few days or weeks, chronic pain is more severe and takes months or even years to heal. Chronic pain can occur at any stage in your life whether caused by disease such as arthritis or accident-related. If this pain is not addressed in due time, it can immobilize the entire body through harmful hormones such as cortisol which penetrate and disrupt kidney functions and the immune system.
There is an interconnection between depression and pain that is why people who suffer from chronic pain mostly go through depressive cycles. Eazol is designed for both chronic and mild ailments and hence perfect pain relief product.
Also known as white willow, Salix alba is a well known medicinal plant whose bark has been used in Chinese traditional medicine for hundreds of years. The ingredient contained in these barks contains salicin which is a powerful pain reliever. While in the body, salicin is transformed into salicylic acid which is the same compound found in aspirin. Among the conditions that white willow bark addresses includes arthritis, headache, muscle aches, back and neck pain as well as chronic pain.
This is a herb that grows naturally in North America and was discovered by a 17th century botanist named Matthias de Lobel. Both the roots and the leaves of Lobelia were used in treating painful conditions such as syphilis. The effect of Lobelia in the body is to relax tensed muscles, control the nervous system and ease inflammation and pain. Lobelia extract also contains Vitamin A and C.
Boswellia contains up to 55 percent of Boswellic acids. It is derived from Boswellia serrata, a tree that grows in India whose gummy resin has powerful anti-inflammatory effects. Many pain relief creams including Eazol have concentrated percentages of this ingredient. In the body, this ingredient helps in reducing back pain and joint stiffness while at the same time fighting painful gastrointestinal disorders such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.
The ingredients included in Eazol makes this pain relief solution to confer amazing benefits to the consumers.
Reduces Nervous Tension – Joint pain which is mostly caused by inflammation makes the nerve endings sensitive. Eazol through its powerful ingredients helps in calming down nervous tension thereby easing the pain.
Fights Inflammation – Common signs of inflammation in the body including pain, redness, immobility and swelling of joints can be countered by Eazol. While inflammation is a healthy process, excessive inflammation can cause discomfort to the body system.
Treats a Myriad of Conditions – As opposed to other treatments that only tackle a specific area, Eazol addresses a number of conditions including osteoarthritis, rheumatism, stiff joints, muscle and joint pain as well as carpal tunnel syndrome. This 360 degree approach makes it very effective.

Q: Ajax Call not being accessed in most pages This is a very weird problem but I will provide as much detail as possible. This Javascript function is in a separate .js file and referenced into various HTML pages in a Cordova application. When a push notification, with 2 parameters: id, type, is received into the device, a function called LaunchFromNotif is executed with these 2 parameters passed as arguments.
function LaunchFromNotif(id, type) {
try {
    var ebyidurl = url + "ReturnEByID";
    var nbyidurl = url + "ReturnNByID";

    if (type != null) {
        if (type == "n") {
            $.ajax({
                type: 'GET',
                url: nbyidurl,
                data: { id: id },
                dataType: 'json',
                processdata: true,
                success: function (data) {
                    //code here
                },
                error: function (xhr, status, error) {
                    alert('Error: ' + error);
                }
            });
        } else if (type == "e") {
            $.ajax({
                type: 'GET',
                url: ebyidurl,
                data: { id: id },
                dataType: 'json',
                processdata: true,
                success: function (data) {
                    //code
                },
                error: function (xhr, status, error) {
                    alert('Error: ' + error);
                }
            });
        } else if (type == "a") {
            combined(id);
        }
    }
} catch (exception) {
    //window.location = "Warning2.html";
}
}

Combined(id) is another function with 2 Ajax calls. I used when and then, to make sure that the first ajax call completes before starting the second.
function combined(id) {
alert("combined");
$.when(
    $.ajax({
        type: 'GET',
        url: nbyidurl,
        data: { id: id },
        dataType: 'json',
        processdata: true,
        success: function (data) {
            alert("success of first ajax");
        },
        error: function (xhr, status, error) {
            alert('Error 1: ' + error);
        }
    })

).then(function () {
    $.ajax({
        type: 'GET',
        url: Verifytempurl,
        data: { Username: localStorage.getItem('user') },
        success: function (data) {
            alert("success of second ajax");

        },
        error: function (xhr, status, error) {
            alert('Error 2: ' + error);
        }
    });

});

The problem is that this is working well in only one HTML page. In 3 other pages in which I tried, it shows the "combined" alert and seems to never access the Ajax call. The logic seems to make sense, especially since it is in working order in one page. What could normally go wrong in something of the sort? I am left with few debugging possibilities, especially since this is a Cordova app and being tested on mobile devices.
Thanks in advance!


Germany may be the world's third biggest exporter, but its language has proved less popular abroad than its cars, and some companies have decided to drop the umlaut abroad.
Mathias Christen, a spokesman for Dürr, which makes products for the car industry, told the German news agency dpa: "The internet era has brought a new style of writing."
For global business purposes, Dürr is now spelt Durr – and the website is durr.com. Similarly the insurers Münchener Rück are Munich Re abroad, and the renaming even extends to individuals – Josef Käser, now chief executive of Siemens, came back from a stint in the US as Joe Kaeser.
Sybille Kircher, founder of the branding agency Nomen International in Düsseldorf said: "We know that abroad the umlaut is problematic. Names need to be found quickly on the internet and need to be pronounced easily over the telephone."
The growth of exports to China has sealed the fate of the umlaut; as German firms say Chinese find the dotted accent hard to master.
Jägermeister, the German liqueur, has renamed itself for the Chinese market as "Ye Ge" – meaning 'wild guy'.
"The umlaut and its pronunciation is of course an issue abroad," said Jägermeister spokesman Astrid van Delden. "Most of our consumers don't use the full brand name, but the short form Jäger, which they pronounce correctly." China, however, is an exception.
The company settled on Ye Ge in China because it sounds like Jäger, and its meaning fits with the brand's style, according to the brand consultants MF Consulting, who advised Jägermeister on the name change.

How do I use the lab results to improve patient outcomes?
What does a chronic inflammation lab test tell me?
The two most important lab values to know if you're a chiropractor treating musculoskeletal pain is the level of (1) Chronic Inflammatory Chemistry, Omega-3 Index and (2) Cellular Fatty Acid Imbalance, Omega-6 to Omega-3 Ratio.
The Chronic Inflammatory ChemistryOmega-3 Index is the percent of "good" EPA inside cell membranes. The normal range is 8% to 12%. If patients are below 8% they have chronic inflammation, and below 4% they probably already have or are developing a chronic disease.
The Cellular Fatty Acid Imbalance, Omega-6 to Omega-3 Ratio tells you the ratio of "bad" Omega-6 Arachidonic Acid to "good" Omega-3 EPA. The ideal ratio is (1 to 1) which means one omega-6 to one omega-3. An acceptable ratio is (3:1), again would be three omega-6 to one omega-3. Unfortunately, most patients will fall into a ratio of 15:1, 25:1 or even 50:1! Know that a level above 3:1 is a high enough ratio for arachidonic acid to leak into the bloodstream and trigger chronic inflammation.
Category I is "Healthy" and where we want all patients to be. However, even with these results, they'll need to maintain the Minimum Effective Dose (MED) of EPA, DHA and Polyphenols daily. By the way, the only way you know for sure this type of patient has no chronic inflammation is to do the blood test.
Category II is "Borderline Unhealthy." This is the patient who is "overweight without inflammation," at least for the moment. This patient is loaded with arachidonic acid in the cell membranes, but they haven't been disrupted yet and released it into the bloodstream where it will cause chronic inflammation. The Nobel Prize Research stated the ways arachidonic acid gets disrupted from the cell membranes is by either trauma or stress to the cells. These patients are an accident waiting to happen and need to lose weight as soon as possible. When they go on a weight loss program they must make sure to have the Minimum Effective Dose (MED) of EPA, DHA and Polyphenols to prevent triggering chronic inflammation.
Category III is "Very Unhealthy." This is the patient who has "normal weight with inflammation." Most of these patients and their chiropractors think they're perfectly healthy because of their normal weight. These are the "over-trained" athletic type patients who maintain the philosophy of no-pain, no-gain. Even without a weight problem to prompt you, you really must test this type of patient. Don't let the appearance of health cause you to miss the proper diagnosis.
Category IV is "Most Unhealthy." This is the patient who is "overweight with inflammation." This patient's bloodstream is loaded with arachidonic aAcid that's been disrupted from the cell membranes. The acid travels in the bloodstream and develops chronic inflammation in every tissue and organ in the body. This is a very serious condition, yet chiropractors every day fail to diagnose or treat it. Instead, they may mistakenly provide an "acute inflammation" type of treatment that provides short-term relief, but the long-term consequence might be a chronic disease.
Here's the easy part. Once you've received the patient's blood test results from the lab by e-mail, you'll place be able to quickly place the patient into one of the four treatment categories we outlined above.
Now all you do is recommend two nutrients that have been found in the literature to address the problem. They are 1) Omega-3 Fatty Acids EPA and DHA found in fatty fish or EPA and DHA supplements, and (2) Polyphenols, which are anti-inflammatory, free-radical-quenching plant chemicals that prevent oxidation and loss of Omega-3s while inside the body. Polyphenols are found in fruits and vegetables, or green supplement powders.
If the patient's chronic inflammation blood test indicates a very low Omega-3 Index or a very high Omega-6 to Omega-3 Ratio, you could also add two additional nutrients for support. The first is Omega-6 GLA, which helps support the blocking of the enzymes involved in the chronic inflammation metabolic pathway. The second is an alkaline mineral supplement. Since all cells in the body respond to the pH of their surroundings, it's vital to maintain an alkaline pH in the fluid around each cell to prevent "stress" on the membrane that could lead to a disruption that would leak arachidonic acid into the bloodstream. Make sure the alkaline mineral supplement has all 8 crucial alkaline minerals that help to support the neutralization and elimination of acidic toxins from the extracellular fluid.
Hopefully the research I've presented above has compelled you to ask: "How do I implement this into my chiropractic practice?" The answer is: By using a seamless 6-step protocol that is relatively easy.
Step #1: Review the patient's main complaint, symptoms and medical history to determine the presence of musculoskeletal pain and excess weight. This data is enough to create a working diagnosis and a reason to order chronic inflammation blood testing.
Step #2: Explain your reasons for requesting chronic inflammation blood testing, including why it's important to test for Chronic Inflammatory Chemistry and Cellular Fatty Acid Imbalance to determine if they're contributing to the main complaint.
Step #3: Patients leave the office with the at-home, finger-stick blood test kit and the two key nutritional supplements described above: an omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA capsule and a polyphenol green powder supplement.
Step #4: Instruct the patient to do the blood test at home and mail the sample to the lab. Have them begin taking their Minimum Effective Dose of both Omega-3 EPA and DHA and Polyphenol powder every day. Be aware that you do not need the blood test results back from the lab before patients start their nutrients, because the Minimum Effective Dose you are recommending is the amount they need if their tests results are normal. You'll adjust dosage upward if the test results indicate the need. The patient is told that when the blood test results come back to the clinic, they'll be scheduled for a consultation to review the findings.
Step #5: When you receive the e-mailed blood test results report, use the Treatment Category Sheet and the Nutrition Dosage Chart to determine the treatment category the patient falls into (1-4), and the Minimum Effective Dose of the four potential nutrients. At the bottom of the 3-page lab report, write in your recommendations.
Step #6: Conduct an in-office consultation on the lab findings as you wish. Some chiropractors make it formal at their desk; others use a "table-talk" format either before or after an adjustment. Just remember, patients are very interested in their lab findings and your recommendations.
There's an enormous amount of published research on Omega-3 deficiencies that clearly substantiates why chiropractors should order a chronic inflammation blood test on all patients. Besides the obvious issues of Muscle and Joint Pain, Neck and Back Inflammation, and Healthy Weight Management, consider the areas of ADHD Behaviors, Healthy Cellular Aging and the Risk of Dementia and Memory Loss. From a chiropractic perspective this test can evaluate it all.
Today, chiropractors can purchase an at-home Omega-3 Index chronic inflammation blood test – which uses the same CLIA Certified Lab that conducted all the published research, and also includes a 3-page report e-mailed directly to them – for as little as $40 to $50.
A chiropractor who decides to bundle the cost of the test with a brief consultation on the results for let's say $140.00, would earn approximately $90 to $100 per test. Plus, if they sell the nutritional supplements to support the findings, the total profit could be well over $1,000.00 per patient. Offering this program to new two patients per week could earn them over $100,000 per year.
Of course, this is not the big prize. The biggest benefit to offering and providing a way for patient to detect, monitor and support chronic inflammation is the ability to support faster outcomes!
Any way you look at this, if you're a chiropractor it's about time to take the 1982 Nobel Prize in Medicine's Research seriously and use it to support our patients in getting well faster!

Q: How to scrape HTML data-endpoints with Beautiful Soup (modal containers) I'm currently trying to scrape data from baseball reference and all is going well except I've hit a problem with trying to scrape data within a modal container/data-endpoint. Now, I actually don't know HTML, though I'm familiar enough to get by with scraping easily enough - which is why I'm not sure if I should be classifying what I'm trying to enter as a data-endpoint or a modal-container. Hopefully it will be made clear below:
If you go to https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/gl.fcgi?id=torregl01&t=b&year=2019 , an example page I'm trying to scrape from, and view the column labeled "PA", you'll see clicking on the value loads a pop-up window. I'm trying to scrape info from that window, which is what is causing issues for me - I simply don't know how to scrape information that isn't directly on the webpage.
Below is the html I've found for the container through "Inspect":

I also found that the "PA" cell in each row has a data-endpoint listed in its properties shown below:

I'm unsure how to access the information in the pop-up window and would prefer to do it using Beautiful Soup if possible. If someone could at least point me in the right direction as to scraping info off these types of pop-up windows that would be super helpful.
A huge thank you to anyone kind enough to help me - it will be very much appreciated!

A: My solution uses requests and beautiful soup alone (and pandas to display solution). Edit: The piece of code before had careless mistakes in them. The following should take any player's url and get all the popups. Note, the program starts to slow down considerably after many requests.

The practice of law can be stressful. Studies have shown that lawyers are significantly more likely than members of the general population to suffer from clinical depression or substance abuse. Bar association survey results suggest that roughly twenty-five percent of practicing lawyers experience depression or anxiety much of the time.
In light of these results, it is extremely important for lawyers to make a conscious effort to maintain their personal well-being. Lawyers who take care of themselves will be more likely to enjoy a satisfying and fulfilling professional career. They will also be more likely to enjoy life.
To maintain personal well-being, a healthy diet and regular exercise are obvious first steps. Physical activity clears the mind and helps alleviate stress. Engaging in a hobby or an avocation that is not related to the practice of law can lead to a balanced life. Examples include reading, participating in sports, playing a musical instrument, creating artistic works, or learning about something new.
Lawyers who are actively practicing law spend most of their waking hours at work. A work environment should be pleasant, upbeat and empowering. Unfortunately, some work environments are toxic. In a toxic work environment you will feel under stress much of the time. It will be difficult to express your creativity and enjoy a fulfilling professional career.
If you are interviewing for a new position and the work environment feels unhealthy, trust your intuition. Keep looking elsewhere. When you start to dread coming to work in your current job, try to identify and address the source of your distress. If your distress is caused by workplace conditions that cannot be changed, it is time to start looking for another job.
Set Time Boundaries And Take Breaks.
Working nearly all the time is not healthy. Take vacations you enjoy. When on vacation, do your best to leave work at the office. Set boundaries around your time on evenings and weekends. Manage the expectations of clients and colleagues so they understand when you will not be returning phone calls or checking email. Set aside time on your calendar during the work week to reflect and rejuvenate. When you feel yourself stressing out, take a break. Whether it's a short meditation or a walk around the block, find a "time out" practice that works for you.
