What does it feel like to be depressed?
We're used to reading about depression as a checklist of symptoms. These lists have their uses, but arguably they miss the human story of what depression truly feels like. Now the psychologists Jonathan Smith and John Rhodes have published their analysis of the first-hand accounts of seven therapy clients, (three women and four men) about what it's like to be depressed for the first time. The participants had an average age of 44, and all had been referred for therapy in London.
The first theme to emerge from the interviews was the feeling of being "depleted" - in one's relationships, bodily, and in respect to the past and future. Ravi (names have been changed), who'd recently lost his job and separated from his wife, described his "relational depletion" like this:
You get into a state I think mentally where, you're just like out on an island ... You can see from that island another shore and all these people are there, but there's no way that you can get across [ ] or there is no way that you want to get across.
The idea of bodily depletion was conveyed by Sally, whose son had recently been imprisoned for nine years. "It's like part of you gone, your heart, I don't know. Perhaps half my heart has gone away." Later she adds: "I don't feel like I'm part of my body when I'm down. [ ] It's like something's gone inside me and swept my happiness away."
The feeling of the past and future being depleted (what the researchers call "temporal depletion") was captured by Paul: "I feel that everything I do, everything has been a waste." Pamela, who had been suspended from work, shared a similar sentiment:
I feel like sometimes my life is on hold. [ ] I'm going to be out of a job and that's my life over because [ ] [the company] has been my life for 20 years, you know, I've, I don't know anything else.
The second key theme to emerge from the interviews was of "being shaken" - including experiencing overwhelming emotions ("I was waiting for that fearfulness to come on like a wave," said Paul); frenzied thinking ("It feels like my brain is just racing all the time and I'm trying to think all the time," said Ravi); and the sense of an uncertain self. Regards this last point, Stewart (who'd lost access to his son after a divorce), put it like this:
Depression for me is not liking yourself, having no confidence in yourself, seeking reassurance, hanging onto anything that you can, pretty much anything emotionally, get your hands on. Lacking courage.
Reflecting on their analysis, Smith and Rhodes said it was clear that all the interviewees had in common that they felt alone, empty and that they had no future. The picture, the researchers explained, was not of a "steady, flat, fixed-state" but of a "fluctuating see-saw between long periods of descents into emptiness and moments of explosive emotion."
The authors summed up: "To feel oneself as not in relation, as not having a body and as not having a life or a future means that one is either lacking or questioning the very taken for granted qualities of human experience. This helps illuminate depression as a very powerful phenomenon which makes aberrant the most basic existential features of life."
The pair hope the insights from their research may have therapeutic implications - for example, they said an open discussion with clients of what depression entails could reassure them that their experiences are shared by others, and help to "make links between what is being felt now and what has happened to the person."

Website Helps International Students Find Jobs
March 30, 2017 Rosalie Richards
Lou Paris stood before 24 students in his International Business class at Stetson University, sprinkling real-life experiences with textbook theories.
Stetson Visiting Lecturer Lou Paris talks to students in his class in the Stetson School of Business Administration.
"It's hard these days to distinguish between business and international business," he said, drawing on his many years of living abroad, first as a child in his native Venezuela and later in Canada, the United States and Europe.
But while large businesses and corporations are becoming more inclusionary, he pointed out that distinct cultural differences still exist between countries that are reflected in the dress, food, music, attitudes and lifestyles of the people.
"Every country is ethnocentric to some degree. You hold your culture to be superior, no matter how large or small the country is," he told a class that included students from China, Sweden and Germany, although most were Americans. "I challenge you to go outside your comfort zone."
Paris, now a U.S. citizen, has practiced what he preaches as an entrepreneur and visiting lecturer in Stetson's School of Business Administration, where he graduated in 2001 and received an M.B.A. in 2007.
In recent years, he developed a website, called Konkeros.com, that places international students in jobs with U.S. companies (Stetson University was the first implementer of this technology). He also heads an International Students Club at Stetson that usually meets once or twice a month to discuss all aspects of living and working in America. Business leaders often are invited to speak to the group.
Now, Stetson has developed a plan to build on his efforts and provide more help for international students to start careers in a competitive global market.
Rosalie Richards, Ph.D., associate provost for Faculty Development at Stetson.
"Lou identified a demand by our international students and unselfishly volunteered his time and talent to this important work," said Rosalie Richards, Ph.D., associate provost for Faculty Development. "As a result, he has inspired the University to formalize his efforts. We have developed a comprehensive plan to boost international student engagement, talent development, and career success and thus, provide an excellent return on investment for these students and their families."
When Stetson's plan is fully funded, she said, it will provide a full-time advocate who will continue to develop relationships with potential employers.
"The program will include internship support and the continued use of Konkeros.com will be a strong component. We also anticipate sharing what we learn because at Stetson, what's good for international students is good for all students," Richards added.
Last year, 185 undergraduate students at Stetson came from outside the United States, making up 6 percent of the student body. They were from 55 countries, according to Stetson's Office of Institutional Research.
Paris said many of them major in International Business.
"They all know I was an international student," he said. "Their questions can range from, 'What do I do with a speeding ticket to I need a job to stay in the U.S.?' "
And that one question led to the idea of developing the website listing "tens of thousands" of employers, so foreign students could connect with companies that hire graduates with diverse cultural backgrounds.
"I asked the students what they needed to (find) a job. Their most common wish was to know what companies were hiring international students. So I didn't waste time. I built a database," he said. "I created something that no one else does by ranking companies by the best to least likely to hire students in the fields they majored in."
Traditional job fairs were intimidating for some students, he said. One Venezuelan student broke down crying in Paris' office, after she was unable to make even the most basic connection.
"I was very upset. She was so bright, but got no chance. I thought there was a need to help navigate the madness," Paris said. "That was the catalyst for the site."
SAVING STUDENTS TIME
Lucas Diniz, 24, graduated from Stetson last May with a degree in finance. Thanks to the Konkeros website and Paris, he quickly found a job at Product Quest Manufacturing in Daytona Beach. He's a market research analyst working mainly on over-the-counter generic brands for stores like CVS.
"It saved time by narrowing down the companies that actually hire international students. When you just look for a job on your own, there can be a lot of wasted energy, where you go out on interviews only to hear they don't hire international students," Diniz said. "Lou (Paris) and Konkeros helped me select jobs where there was the most probability of getting hired."
Paris said international students often feel like underdogs with no family or friends in the area to lean on for support. But on the flip side, that often builds character.
"They are tested more at a younger age in the ways of the world. They are more mature. They want to stay for the opportunities, or because their country is in shambles like in Venezuela, or they simply like the American way of life," said Paris, whose father had owned a construction company in Venezuela when he was growing up.
Paris said he expects other colleges throughout the state and country in the near future to offer Konkeros as word spreads of its success.
"My goal is to get this in the hands of all international students in the United States. That would be incredible," he said. "It's the foundation for colleges to build upon. It can help them with admissions, attracting more international students by showing them that they can achieve their goals, and stay and work in the U.S."

WORLD Class Lunch & Learn Recap: March 2017
Faculty Insight: Faculty participants each discussed their preliminary ideas for potential study abroad programs. Dr. Phillip Lucas kicked off the discussion by describing his experience designing his upcoming faculty-led study abroad program in Camino de Santiago, Spain. He provided his background in religious studies and pilgrimages and explained the process of being nominated for a WORLD Class Travel Award to participate in a CIEE International Faculty Development Seminar on the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage. This experience laid the ground work for preparing him to work with CIEE and WORLD to develop a Faculty-Led Study Abroad program for students. Lucas explained that by working with CIEE and WORLD on the logistics of the program, he was free to concentrate on the integrity of the academic program. He also described his experience recruiting students for the program and strongly recommended that new faculty work with an international provider to develop their programs.
How to Develop New Programs: Brent Spencer, international learning program coordinator at WORLD, led a discussion on the Nuts and Bolts of developing a new faculty-led study abroad program. Most participants at the lunch & learn were new to study abroad program development. A robust discussion with questions and answers followed including conversation on how to find good providers for program logistics, different models for structuring faculty-led study abroad, timeline and steps for developing a new program, risk management, how to find financing to keep programs affordable for students, student scholarship resources, and resources WORLD provides for faculty and students throughout the process.
Participants were encouraged to make an appointment to meet with Brent Spencer to discuss their specific ideas for programs for next year.

Reflective Spotlight: Bill Andrews, School of Business Administration
February 13, 2017 browncenter
A Foreign Classroom – A Natural Learning Laboratory
"…so I called to see what my Sprint International calling plan allowed in Moldova?"
"Of course, sir… and what country is Moldova in?"
I called my credit card company to ensure that they would not block charges made from this tiny former Soviet republic nestled just below the Ukraine and above Romania, and they did no better. They had never heard of Moldova. To be honest, even as the founder of our International Business major, I could not have placed it on a map. If Moldova is lost on the Western world, why would it be of any consequence to Stetson? See if you can answer the question from the story below.
Through a web of contacts including Peace Corp workers, Moldova's Canadian ambassador, and on-the-ground NGO workers, I had received an invitation to teach a course entitled "Doing Business with the West" at their leading business school, Moldovan Academy of Economic Sciences in the capital, Chisinau.
Dropped off from its Soviet parent in 1991 like an abandoned child, Moldova entered statehood with virtually no political, legal or economic institutions intact, and has since struggled through the torturous process of state-building with the usual menu of calamities: protests, bloodshed, Russian incursion, emigration, massive corruption and predatory economic practices. The population dropped by about 25% to 3 million. If Moldova was known to the West at all, it was
known for human trafficking and cyber-hacking. Can we dare to believe we could make an impact?
My expectation was to find a country of scowling, downward-facing, broken souls intermingled with high- and low-tech thugs. What I found was a flower growing in a scorched place. My class of 51 students, who spoke excellent English, were eager for change. They conveyed a palpable thirst for both hope ("Could things really be different?") and technique (How?). They were utterly exhausted from corrupt government and business. I presented to a rapt audience some recent research I had conducted in Colombia about how a major city defeated endemic corruption in just 8 years. You could almost see hope being rekindled.
Moldovan students in an after-class discussion with Dr. Andrews at the local café; Chisinau, Moldova
Yet beating corruption also means providing civil services and building institutions, which require a modern and educated technocracy. It's requires more than just moral indignation. Moreover, Moldova is the fault line between Russian and European cultures. Russian and Romanian languages are both spoken – yet they are vastly different, not even sharing the same alphabet. Post-Soviet atheism clashes with a revived Orthodox church. In Moldova's effort to embrace the West, Russia, their largest trading partner, embargoed Moldova's exports exacerbating an economic crisis. My graduate Business Strategy class spent this past fall semester building a US market entry plan for a large Moldovan winery. I presented the plan to the owners while there; they expressed deep appreciation and anticipated pursuing the recommendations. Could these students have contributed at least a modicum to a better future for some Moldovans?
Stetson's graduate students, who developed the U.S. market entry strategy for Tomai Vineyard, pause to strike a pose. (l-r) Gabriel Gallegos Fernandez, Stephen Flynn, Jennifer Valcourt, Melissa Margelos, and Anthony Brideau-Errigo
Moldova is of consequence to Stetson precisely because a window for change is open, and humans matter. We – faculty and students – can influence the outcome for good. We can live our values of global engagement and personal growth while learning lessons of courage and perseverance from the Moldovans. Contact me if you have an interest in a return visit! Seriously! wandrews@stetson.edu
William Andrews, Ph.D., pictured left at Stetson's Summer Innsbruck Program, is a graduate of the Thunderbird School of Global Management (M.I.M.), and the University of Georgia (Ph.D. Business Strategy). He is associate professor of management at Stetson University and a certified management accountant with the Institute for Management Accountants.
Dr. Andrews' academic interests include business strategy and international political economy. He is actively involved in the Central Florida venture capital/start-up community and board-level NGO consulting. For fun, he competes in triathlons and writes short stories and novels.
Dr. Andrews gratefully acknowledges support from the Stetson School of Business Administration and a WORLD Class Travel Award from WORLD: The David and Leighan Center for International Learning at Stetson University.

Mountain biking around Grödig is a great to experience more of the landscape. But it's often tough to know where to start. To help you find the best mtb routes around Grödig, here are the top 16 rides!
If you are interested in routes for other sport types around Grödig, check out our guides on Hiking around Grödig, Cycling around Grödig, Road Cycling Routes around Grödig, or Mountain Hikes around Grödig.


It's a conundrum every serious photographer faces ... do you set your exposure so that the brightest objects in a scene are properly exposed but the darkest are underexposed, or so that the darkest are properly exposed but the brightest are overexposed? Or do you go with some compromise, where only the half-way-between objects look right? That's where high dynamic range (HDR) cameras come into play. Combining several levels of exposure in one shot, they act like the human eye, allowing properly-exposed dark and bright objects to co-exist within the same picture. Now, New Mexico's Contrast Optical Design & Engineering is set to release its AMP camera, for shooting HDR video.
First of all, this isn't the first time that HDR video has been achieved. The effect was created last year by combining the output of two Canon DSLRs, and then this January, a team from the University of Warwick announced the development of a purpose-built prototype HDR video system.
The AMP system utilizes a patented optical engine to split the light from a single lens onto three digital video sensors. While identical in composition and shutter speed, the resulting three 1080p images are exposed at increments of approximately 3.5 stops, relative to one another. This means that every frame of video contains information for three different levels of exposure, the raw data being stored on an onboard solid state drive - at 30 fps, 256GB will hold somewhere over 30 minutes of footage.
Users can then manually combine those exposure levels within a single shot, to achieve the desired effect.
"Our camera system does not automatically tonemap the image: it simply produces HDR images for every frame of video, and it is up to the user to apply their favorite tonemap algorithm(s) to the HDR images so they can be displayed," Contrast's Chief Technical Officer Michael D. Tocci explained to us. "The Gen2 camera will have the capability to perform tonemapping in the camera in real time (in order to provide an HDMI video stream), but this again is a tonemap operator that is open for the user to change and customize as they see fit."
The current AMP prototype is reportedly about the size of a prosumer SLR, and weighs under 5 pounds (2.27 kg) without a lens. Apart from a power and record button, all of the controls and displays are located on a separate Bluetooth unit. A limited production run of the second-generation AMP cameras is set for the end of this summer (Northern Hemisphere), although none of them will be available for purchase by the general public. Film-makers and/or broadcasters who would like to rent or borrow one, however, can get on a waiting list by visiting the AMP website. If there is enough interest, the second run of cameras will be larger.
The video below shows some examples of what the system can do.

One killed as protesters turn violent in Karachi
Police baton-charged protesters to disperse them
KARACHI: At least one person was killed while several others injured after protesters clashed with police in Manghopir area of the city while holding a demonstration against the murder and rape of a minor, Rabia, in Karachi.
The family members of the minor along with the area residents staged a protest, completely blocking the road leading to Kati Pahari.
In an effort to negotiate with the protesters, the police officials assured them that DNA samples have been taken from the minor's body and the probe would resume once the report is completed.
The family members of the minor girl agreed to call off the protest, but others refused to leave till justice was served. Upon this, the police baton-charged the protesters and started aerial firing in an attempt to disperse them. As a result, two were injured while one was killed.
SINDH IG POLICE SEEKS REPORT:
Taking notice of the incident, Inspector General of Police AD Khowaja has sought the report of the incident from SSP West Omar Shahid.
He stated that the family of the victim should be taken into confidence and that the investigation must be conducted on bases of evidence and statements of girl's family.
Talking about the incident, SSP West Omar Shahid stated that efforts were being made to turn the incident into a political issue while claiming that protest at Kati Pahari was baseless.
He further stated that minor's father gave names of three suspects, out of which two have been arrested. "Raids are being conducted for the arrest of the third suspect," he said.
Furthermore, the post-mortem report of the minor, conducted at Abbasi Shaheed Hospital, proved that she was sexually assaulted before being tortured to death.
MINOR FOUND STRANGULATED IN MANGHOPIR AREA:
The dead body of six-year-old was found early Tuesday morning in Manghopir. Although police were earlier hesitant to confirm the report, it was strongly suspected that minor was sexually abused before being strangled to death.
As per media reports, the girl went missing on Monday afternoon from her house and her body was found at top of a hill near Nooruddin Goth.
Duty Officer (DO) Ijaz of Manghopir police station told media that father of the minor came to the station at 9:00 pm on Monday regarding the disappearance of his daughter.
"The father told the police that the girl left her house around 2:00 pm on Monday after her aunt slapped her for not going to Maddrassah," the DO said, adding a call about the dead body of the minor was received at 12:40 am on early Tuesday morning.
Haji Sanaullah, the area SHO, said that early investigation report has confirmed that child was strangled to death. He, however, on the question of sexual assault, said that the investigation is at the preliminary stage.

Hemant to represent Haryana

Karate black belt Hemant Sharma has been selected to participate on behalf of Haryana in the 33rd National Games to be held in Guwahati.
Apart from the heated argument between Chappell and Sehwag, there were also serious differences while selecting the team for the Test matches, according to Times Now.
The sensational disclosure comes just two days before the one-day series against Sri Lanka gets underway in Kolkata where Sehwag was expected to make a comeback.
The channel, quoting team manager Chetan's Desai's confidential report to the BCCI, said the argument between Chappell and Sehwag occurred when the out-of-form opener refused to attend a special practice session on the eve of the Durban Test.
When contacted, BCCI secretary Niranjan Shah said the manager's report was with President Sharad Pawar and he had no comments to make at this stage.
"I don't want to say anything on it. The manager's report is with the President", he told PTI.
"All I can say is that Sehwag was not dropped because of any disciplinary issue. He was dropped purely on form," he said.
The report said Chappell and expert bio-mechanist Ian Fraser came to the nets but did not find Sehwag. Later Sehwag told Chappell that he did want to practice which angered the former Australian captain.
Desai's report also claimed that paceman Munaf Patel was not fully fit to the play in the third Test and held captain Rahul Dravid largely responsible for the defeat in that crucial match in Cape Town.
Desai claimed that physio John Gloster hid Munaf's injury till the last which allowed him to play in Cape Town.
Giving instances of differences during selection meetings, the team manager said in his report that Dravid insisted on having Sehwag in the team despite his poor form.
"In that meeting after a lot of deliberation, it was finally decided to drop Sehwag. The next day Dravid during the practice session suggested that after seeing the wicket he was of the opinion that it would be a spinners' track and he would want to have Sehwag as the next option as a spinner," he said in his report.
"I objected and told Greg, Dravid and Dilip (Vengsarkar) that if it was a spinners' track, they could have Harbhajan in the team. Greg mentioned that Harbhajan was not bowling well.
At this point I said if Harbhajan is not in the team, then why Sehwag, who is not batting well, is in the team. "Vengsarkar mentioned to Dravid if Sehwag failed and India lost the match there would be heavy backlash back home to which Dravid replied that he was prepared for it," he said.
Desai, when contacted, declined to comment, saying he had submitted his report to the BCCI President and the matter was closed as far as he was concerned.
In his observations, Desai said the senior Indian players were not as fit as their South African counterparts.
"The support staff, specially the trainer and the physio, need to give report as far as the fitness and the injury of an individual player was concerned from time to time to the board", he said in his report.
Desai praised Chappell and said he was doing a "wonderful job". "Chappell is a gentleman to the core but needs extra courage from the Board so that he can make his independent decision. Chappell needs to be given a lot of confidence by the Board", he said.
Foolproof security for Chappell
Kolkata: Not willing to take any chance after Indian team coach Greg Chappell's was assaulted in Bhubaneswar, the West Bengal government has made 'fool-proof' security arrangements for the Aussie in view of the first India-Sri Lanka ODI at the Eden Gardens here on Friday.
"Fool-proof security arrangements have been made for Chappell," state Home secretary P R Roy told newspersons at the secretariat.
Police commissioner Prasun Mukherjee, also the Cricket Association of Bengal president, is personally supervising the security arrangements for the players, officials and other VIPs.
Teams arrive
Kolkata: The Indian and Sri Lankan cricket teams today arrived to a tumultuous welcome in the city for the February 8 one-dayer at the Eden Gardens.
The Indian players started arriving in batches since last night from various parts of the country while the Sri Lankans landed here at 12.40 pm from Mumbai.
Among the Indian players, Munaf Patel came last night while skipper Rahul Dravid, Anil Kumble, Robin Uthappa and S Sreesanth reached the city from Bangalore this morning.
Off-spinner Harbhajan Singh and Virender Sehwag were among those who came from Delhi.
Team management said all players in the 15-member squad, except Sachin Tendulkar, Zaheer Khan and Ajit Agarkar, were already in town. The three Mumbai cricketers were expected to arrive this evening.
Houseful at Edens
Kolkata: A sellout crowd of 88,000 would turn out at the Eden Gardens in the opening game of the four-match India-Sri Lanka series here on Thursday following massive demand for tickets due to the return of local hero Sourav Ganguly and his fine recent form.
The public sale of tickets has been closed with nearly all tickets bought. "We are left with only about 1,000 tickets, from which we have to meet the quota earmarked for the BCCI," Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) Joint Secretary Saradindu Pal told PTI today. — PTI
New Zealand made a flying start to their reply with captain Stephen Fleming making 106 off 149 balls but lost their way in the latter stages to finish with 256-8.
England's hopes of making the finals seemed doomed a week ago when they lost their fourth straight match in a row but a surprise win against Australia on Friday gave them a chance of sneaking past the Kiwis.
England were struggling at 52-3 in the 14th over after returning skipper Michael Vaughan was bowled by Shane Bond for a duck with a perfect inswinging yorker and Ian Bell (12) and Ed Joyce (26) both went cheaply.
But Strauss and Collingwood steadied the innings with a careful display, taking the total past 100 in the 22nd over before increasing the run-rate.
Strauss struck three fours and a six to complete his first half-century of the series while Collingwood survived a dropped catch from Jacob Oram on 18 to record his third one-day international hundred.
The pair added 103 for the third wicket before Strauss was bowled by Scott Styris. Collingwood was then bowled by Bond after becoming distracted when his team mate Jamie Dalrymple dropped his bat at the non-striker's end.
Andrew Flintoff made a quick 17 off 15 balls before holing out to James Franklin in the deep to give Bond his fourth wicket.
Wicketkeeper Paul Nixon was bowled by Mark Gillespie for a second ball duck in the penultimate over before Dalrymple (29 not out) and Liam Plunkett (15 not out) went on a late flurry to lift the total to 270.
New Zealand started well when Plunkett bowled five wides in the opening over, including one that raced away to the boundary rope, as Fleming and Lou Vincent put on 81 for the first wicket.
But the England bowlers succeeded in drying up the runs, forcing the Kiwis to take more risks to try and increase the rate as the wickets started to tumble.

The Tamil Nadu wicketkeeper-batsman has grabbed the opportunities that have come his way since the tour of South Africa and believes his ability to play according to the situation will hold him in good stead for the tougher challenges ahead.
"I am very confident about my abilities and confident about delivering, which matters. Basically, I have the self-confidence now," Karthik told PTI in an interview.
The 21-year-old player said it was important not to get carried away by the success and he will always strive to contribute to the team's cause.
"Every day is a new day and every game is a new game. I need to play according to the situation and according to the wicket. It is important that I do not get carried away and I always looking forward to contributing to the team cause," he said.
The young cricketer is now looking forward to the one-day series against Sri Lanka to make a mark and cement a place in the World Cup squad to be finalised in Mumbai on February 12.
"As for the coming Sri Lankan matches, if the team can win without me batting, that is an excellent thing to happen. It is left to the team management to decide whether I should be played. But, if I get an opportunity I try and bat well according to the situation."
While many have questioned the logic of carrying two wicketkeepers to the World Cup, Karthik is unfazed by such arguments and says his only priority is to keep improving as a stumper and a batsman.
Describing himself more as a batsman than a wicketkeeper in present circumstances, he is willing to don any role the team management wants him to perform.
"As of now, I am more a batsman than a wicketkeeper as per the team management and its requirements. It is important that I concentrate on my batting and try to get runs when it matters," he said.
Karthik, who has scored 346 runs in 11 Tests and 114 in nine ODIs, said wicketkeepers have a key role to play on the field as they are in a position to give a lot of inputs to the captain and bowlers.
"A wicketkeeper is the person who assesses as to what exactly happens in front of the wicket in as much as how the wicket is behaving and how the batsmen are playing. As a wicketkeeper one can note all the important points as to how one could play in such wickets.
"Instead of making assessment from covers or mid-off or some other regions in a field, when you stand behind the wicket, you get the best view of the game. A wicketkeeper always gives lot of inputs to captain and bowlers," the Tamil Nadu player said.
On former cricketer and selection committee chairman Syed Kirmani's observation that Karthik was technically more sound than other current Indian wicketkeepers, he said, "I am really honoured to get such comments from Kirmani who is one of the greatest keepers India ever had produced.
"I try to keep improving my abilities as a wicketkeeper and hope to prove my mettle whenever chances are given to me."
On whether he also gave inputs to seasoned bowlers like Anil Kumble and Harbhajan Singh, he said, "I try and give whatever inputs I could give them. We all work as a team. — PTI
Ponting was named Australia's cricketer of the year yesterday, winning the Allan Border Medal for the third time in four years and being judged his country's Test and one-day player of the year.
Unwilling to rest on his laurels, Ponting, 32, said there may be better still to come.
"I always feel that every day I go to training or every game I play I obviously want to improve and make myself a better player and a better leader," Ponting said.
"That's the aim. Whether or not I can remain as consistent as I have over the last couple of years is to be seen, but I'll give myself the best chance anyway." Ponting is ranked the No 1 Test batsman in the world and, of players who have scored more than 3000 runs, his average is second only to Sir Donald Bradman's.
"My career to date has probably gone better than I would have expected," he said.
"As a young kid all I ever wanted to do was play a game for Australia and I've been lucky enough to play 270 one-dayers and over 100 Tests. I'm pretty proud of those achievements but I don't sort of sit back and look at those things. I've never really been one for looking at stats either. There'll be plenty of time for doing all that when my career has come to an end." Ponting said the past year, in which Australia recovered the Ashes from England, had been the best of his career. — AP
According to a report in the local daily Beeld, Afridi was caught on camera as he swung his bat at a spectator while returning to the pavilion following his dismissal at 17 in the match on Sunday.
However, no complaint has been lodged against the swashbuckling all-rounder, who was recalled to the side after being out of favour for quite some time.
Cricket South Africa Spokesperson Gordon Templeton, meanwhile, dismissed the report and said Afridi was merely trying to pick up his fallen glove at the dressing room stairs when his bat seemed pointed towards a spectator. — UNI
The Pune-born Sthalekar piped Australian captain Karen Rolton by one vote at yesterday's Allan Border Medal count to become just the third member of the Australia women's team to win the award.
Sthalekar (27) enjoyed a superb individual year with the Southern Stars, and averaged 44.71 as a top-order batter and 22.55 as an off spinner from one Test and eight limited-overs matches against India and New Zealand.
In a one-off Test against India last year at Adelaide, she was the player of the match scoring 72 runs and bagging five wickets for 30 runs in the tourists' second innings.
She steered her state team New South Wales to victory in the 2005-06 Women's National Cricket League in her first season as captain.
Speaking to Indian Link, an ethnic Indian newspaper, Sthalekar said she was looking forward to playing in a one-day international tournament to be held in Chennai, India, from this month.
"I am looking forward to the challenge of playing in India again," Sthalekar was quoted as saying in the paper. "You can't look past India on home soil - their record at home is impressive and because they are different conditions for the rest of us, it will be extremely hard." Sthalekar, a versatile all-rounder, has been appointed vice-captain of the Australian team for the quadrangular tournament, featuring Australia, India, England and New Zealand, to be held from February 21 to March 5.
"Lisa's strength is her all-round game," the Indian Link report quoted Rolton as saying. "She makes runs at the top of the order, even under pressure and has been in really good form lately. She can also bowl 10 tight overs (and) pick up some wickets on the way, so she's a very valuable member of the team." Lisa had spent just three weeks in India before her family moved to Australia, where her father introduced her to the game, when she showed promise as a backyard cricketer.
"I first picked up the bat at the age of six or seven in the backyard with my father," she said. "Throughout my career, my family supported and encouraged me to follow my dreams." "The smell of the sun, the grass and sunscreen again has got me excited," she told the newspaper. "In Sydney, everyone goes, 'the smell of sunscreen is like you're going to the beach', but for me it's the cricket ground."
Sthalekar, who works full time for Cricket New South Wales as high performance coach, also has an arts degree majoring in psychology.
"I would like to pursue further study in psychology but that will come when I finish cricket as I just don't have the time," she said. — IANS
"We are taking serious note of the menace and will act very tough on the issue. We are taking a lot of steps," IOA President Suresh Kalmadi said.
"All state Olympic associations have been told to inform the athletes about dope sampling. The samples will be sent to the IOC-accredited lab in Bangkok because we want a correct report and that can be achieved in an IOC lab," he said.
Kalmadi also said that India will soon have an IOC-accredited lab. — PTI

Occasionally one is fortunate enough to stumble upon a real treasure trove, one that is not marked with a cross on some dubious map of a Caribbean island.
Shortly after I joined our county beekeepers' association I enquired as to when it was founded. No one knew. The old timers thought it was some time in the 1950's - in retrospect they were possibly confusing it with the founding of the Eastern Apicultural Society in 1955.
Then Judy Brenneman, who had been Secretary/Treasurer for 23 years, mentioned that at the back of one of her cupboards was a box of papers, she wasn't sure what they were, and would I like to look at it. The 'papers' turned out to be all of the minutes, membership files and financial records of the previous 90 years, including the minutes of the founding meeting, dated March 8, 1919. Five men had met in a house downtown and had voted to form the York County Beekeepers' Association, with dues of 50c a year. Dr. Sterner gave a talk on "How to transfer ones colony of bees from an old box hive to a modern hive" and they agreed to meet again in a month's time. By the year's end there were 22 paid up members.
All of these documents are meticulously recorded in neat, cursive handwriting, and one has to wonder what chronicles the cyber era will leave behind. What resources will members have in one hundred years time to muse over, evaluate and honor the past? Do we value the present and respect the future sufficiently to make the effort to keep such records? God bless those who did so in York County starting in 1919.
One of the results of this discovery was that on March 8, 2019, exactly one hundred years to the day after that first meeting, we held a celebratory centennial banquet, meeting in a venue that is very close to the house in which the first meeting was held, and in a building that was surely familiar to, if not frequented by, those five men. Hopefully the candle that was lit at that first meeting has been refueled for another one hundred years.
Papers and documentation are an appropriate analogy for the mystique and fascination of beekeeping. In The Honey Factory, published last year, Jurgen Tautz and Diedrich Steen write, "Bees are never boring. A bee colony is a complex organism, rather like a book that one can read again and again each year and find new and interesting stories at each reading."
And it is more than stories. The image that comes to mind is a Shakespearian play - hopefully not one of the ten tragedies, nor Much Ado About Nothing, A Comedy of Errors, or Love's Labors Lost, appropriate as they might be for some of our experiences with bees. A Midsummer Night's Dream or A Winter's Tale would be more uplifting.
Let's take the first of the above as an example. On first reading of A Midsummer Night's Dream, one is fascinated, if confused, by the story. As Duke Theseus prepares for his marriage to Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons, he is interrupted by a courtier who asks the Duke to intervene in a dispute. His daughter, Hermia, will not agree to marry the man her father has chosen because she loves a gentleman named Lysander. The Duke offers Hermia one of two options: she must either die or accept a celibate life as a nun in Diana's temple. Naturally upset with the offer, Lysander and Hermia plan to elope; they share their secret with Helena, who is in love with Demetrius, the man whom she was supposed to marry but who seems to have abandoned her in favor of Hermia. At night, Lysander and Hermia escape from Athens but they lose their way in the woods, followed by Demetria, who is followed by Helena.
Are you following along?
Meanwhile, a group of working men are preparing a play of the tragic love-story of Pyramus and Thisbe to present before the Duke Theseus on his wedding day. Two of those men are Nick Bottom, the weaver, and Flute, the bellows-mender.Nearby, Oberon, King of the Fairies, has recently quarreled with his queen, Titania. She acquired a magical child from one of her waiting women, and now refuses to hand him over to Oberon to use as a page. To get his revenge on Titania for her disobedience, Oberon sends his fairy servant, Puck, to fetch a purple flower with juice that makes people fall in love with the next creature they see. When Oberon overhears Demetrius mistreating Helena, he tells Puck to anoint Demetrius so that will fall in love with the next person he sees. Puck mistakenly puts the flower juice on the eyes of the sleeping Lysander, who when he is woken by Helena, immediately falls in love with her and rejects Hermia.
And that's only the end of the second act; there are three more to go, involving, would you believe, Titania falling in love with Nick Bottom who is wearing the head of an ass!
The point is that at first reading it is complex, even nonsensical : much as a new beekeeper trying to sift through the plethora of information presented at the first bee class, unable to recognize that everything is related, everything has a cause and an effect, that it all makes sense in the end. One has to persist; just as with Bloom's Taxonomy, there is a basic amount of detail that has to be understood before one can start to use that information - to analyze, synthesize, evaluate and eventually apply it.
On a second reading the roles of the various characters become more clear, as do the various sub-plots, just as a beekeeper starts to understand the roles of the queen, drone and worker bees as well as the interactions between them, or the sub-plots of say assexual reproduction (swarming) and the sexual mating of a queen with a number of drones.
A third reading might reveal the complexity of the characters, or the sheer beauty of the language, and we can spend an infinite amount of time parsing each sentence, teasing out different meanings, and making different applications of this fairy tale to our own lives.
"Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind; and therefore is winged Cupid painted blind," wrote Shakespeare. And a little later, "Lord, what fools these mortals be!"
A Midsummer's Night Dream, like all of Shakespeare's plays, portrays recognizable people in situations that all of us experience at one time or another in our lives—love, marriage, death, manipulation, power and powerlessness, fantasy, mourning, guilt, the need to make difficult choices, separation, reunion and reconciliation. It does so with great humanity, tolerance, and wisdom, helping us to understand what it is to be human and how to cope with the problems of being so.
Similarly those who persevere are invariably captivated by the sheer wonder of a honey bee society and are drawn into the minutia of their lives, each detail of which increases ones understanding of the larger picture. Gradually a larger meaning comes through, stressing the lessons of the natural world and what is lost when we lose that connection, either through ignorance or arrogance. That is where I am at as I read this 'book' for yet another time.
For Tautz and Steen, as expressed so beautifully in their epilog, "The winter cluster is a small example of the general principle that governs the bees community - an unconditional and mutual sharing. Only while all care for one another in the 'knowledge' that they will be cared for themselves, can they be a superorganism. Is this the message from the bees? To hold up a world to us in which the Golden Rule - the principle of treating others other we would want to be treated - is a lived reality?"
Fortunately our play ends happily. Lysander, Hermia, Demetrius and Helena are joyfully reunited and agree to share the Duke's wedding day. Bottom and Flute present their play before the wedding guests and, as the three couples retire to bed, Puck and the fairies return to bless the palace and its people.
All's Well That Ends Well. May it be so with your bees this season.


Why Did The Chicken Paint The Road?
Words cannot properly express how disappointed I am in the people that approved this idea or thought it would be widely accepted by the citizenry. There must be a state law governing this activity. If there isn't one, then perhaps there should be. This is not beautification. This is distracting graffiti, masquerading as advertising, being laid down by people who should be sticking to cooking chicken instead of doing road repairs.
My advice for every small business owner in Louisville would be to get a crew and start filling potholes on your own. Make sure you stamp your business' logo on the road in bright white. Call me and I will take pictures and write the story for you. Better yet, call 311 and complain before this nonsense takes over the streets.

Citizens Enraged As Mayor Engages Cordish Co.
It seems as every day passes, we learn more about how close Louisville's mayor is to the folks at the Cordish Co. WHAS11 is reporting on the controversy surrounding a $950,000 give-away by the mayor to Cordish for a new sports bar at Fourth Street Live. The Cordish-owned sports bar will replace an individually-owned bowling alley-themed sports bar.
Ward Plauche, the owner of City Block (formally O'Malley's Corner) wants to know how he can get some free money for his bars. In an article in today's Courier-Journal, Plauche says, "Who can't be successful if they get money from the city and don't have to pay it back?" Indeed.
These actions by the Mayor's office cause suspicion and anger among citizens and confusion among the members of the seemingly powerless Metro Council. It illustrates how important the failed "transparency bill" was to be in helping to eliminate shady, backdoor deals like this one by stripping absolute power from Louisville's mayor. Abramson claims he has the right to spread money around, without any council or public approval, to out-of-town companies like Cordish.
But having the right to do something does not mean you should actually do it.
For more on the powerful Cordish Co. and information on their projects in other cities, see below.

"Moose! Rocko! Help the mayor find his checkbook, eh?!
Louisville firefighters work an average of 56 hours a week, with 16 hours of overtime built into their schedules. Previously, the city had not included those hours in overtime calculations.
Metro government officials have estimated that the city owes firefighters at least $17.6 million, but no official total has been reached. Attorneys for firefighters are asking that their fees and damages and adjustments to pension payments also be included in what the city owes.
City officials did not return phone calls yesterday seeking comment on the latest decision. It is unclear whether they will appeal.
We shall wait and see if the city appeals this decision. Any further challenge by the city is certain to contribute to more ill feelings between the firefighters and the mayor's office, as well as add to already massive court costs caused by the city's refusal to pay what it owes.
- More rampant idiocy. Officials at Louisville Metro Animal Services scrambled to come up with an explanation on why they tried to "spay" a male cat. They say it was a clerical error. Meanwhile, the animal is having complications from the botched surgery and the owner is hoping MAS will pick up the tab. WHAS11 has the story HERE.
Can this department be audited, please? Someone needs to get these dopes on a leash.
- Federal mine safety inspectors shut down a coal mine in eastern Kentucky today for the company's refusal to pay fines. This is good news. WAVE3 has it HERE.
The frightful nuttiness continues at Louisville Metro Animal Services, and authorities there are blaming the "dangerous dog" ordinance for their over-the-top actions. WAVE3 has a story on the deputized crew of dog snatchers HERE.
The report details the story of two sisters who contacted MAS to determine what type of license they needed in order to start a small-scale breeding business. The story ends with officials from MAS breaking into the home while the owner was away, snatching the dogs and leaving a search warrant on the door. Is this what was intended when the ordinance was written? Is a Miniature Schnauzer considered dangerous in the language of the ordinance? Is this intrusion legal?
I would like to hear your take on this mess.

If you came here to vote on Ludumdare, please play the original version!
If you are just here to play, then definitely play this post compo version. :) I worked on it a couple of more hours. Not that it means that I worked on it more time than any LD participiant :) I'm still nowhere near 48 hours - maybe around 5-6 I guess.
And I almost done it... The cartridge is playable, not even too ugly, but lacks levels - I managed to create only four introductory levels.
And of course there are some bugs too (don't step on a human!), but it can be finished without much problem.
Tomorrow I will travel the whole day, I doubt I will have the energy in the evening to complete the game, so I just submit it in this state.
By the year 2000 (the far future) the surface Earth is doomed, ruined by atomic wars fought between evil corporations. The survivors live in huge caves underground and for transport, they use armored helicopters, because that makes complete sense in a cave.
You are one of the pilots, trying to make a living by taxiing people in the hostile environment.
I originally wanted to wait for pico-8 v0.1.1 to raise the code size limitations somewhat to finish the cart, but I'm not sure when I will have time to actually work on it again, so I just post it here as it is.
There are a couple of bugs (like stucking in the walls, or not ending the game when the fuel runs out), but it is quite playable anyway.
There is only one level, and no real end goal yet, but you can play it just for the highscore.
I'm not a lua expert, so I can be totally mistaken on this - please correct me if so.
I can't see any reason why a variable should be global in pico-8... Defining as a local outside any functions, makes it accessible from that file (or module? or what is the correct lua terminology for this?) and since pico-8 only has one code file, that is essentially makes it global.
And as far as I know locals are way faster in lua than globals.
So I suggest just removing the keyword, and making everything local by default.
If there is a reason for globals, I would still ask for local-by-default, and suggest introducing a "global" keyword - just to save on the code size.
So here is one way to circumvent the limitations somewhat: You can only fit one "fullscreen" picture in the gfx space in pico-8 - BUT the cartridge change and load is fast (at least compared to changing a physical cartridge :) ) so what if I put more pictures my program need in other cartridges, and load when I need?
Here is a demonstration: a "fullscreen" anim player. It reads the frames from the cartridges in the "frames" directory, and copies the contents to the screen.
As the screenshot shows: it consumes 96% of cpu time, but only in the frame when the load and refresh happens. (I refresh every third frame, that's how the average is around 32% - two frames with zero cpu load, one with 96%).
In theory you could spread the cartridge load and the refresh to different frames, but unfortunately the load is not "silent" (it prints a message to the screen), and that scrolls/writes in the picture. I couldn't come up with a way to hide that yet, but the separete load/update lowers the max cpu usage to 49.6% (the average is stays the same, because now we have one frame with zero, and two frames with roughly 49%).
But of course an animation player is really the stress test of this technique. Apart from… you now, actually playing animations (like intros or something) you don't really need to refresh that fast probably, and loading data from other cartridges can be used a number of different ways: backgrounds for an adventure game or transition screens, or replacing the tileset for an another world in the game, etc.
Neil (nknauth here in this forum) had this awesome idea to use my image importer to create custom covers for cartridges.
But neil's idea is actually working. Needs a small amount of hacking though: simply loading an image, taking a screenshot, loading an another cartridge, and saving that cartridge by hand just produces a gray square on the cart instead of the image.
Create an "image cartridge" with the code above, but replacing "road" for the target cartridge name.
Press "z" to load the target cartridge.
Press "X" to save the target cartridge.
After writing a small image converter for pomppo's 1-bit sprites I hacked together a color image "importer".
It reads a 128x128, 16 color image, and spits out something you can paste in a p8 file, in the gfx section.
The cartridge here just displays it.
One use case would be importing a sprite sheet, so an artist can work in his/her favorite editor program, or something.
It is a (really-really-really hacky) Processing program.
Just change the image name, run the sketch, and the data is copied to the clipboard (or if not, you can copy it from the console window).
Paste it over the gfx data in the p8 cartrigde file, and the sprites will be replaced by your picture.
As I mentioned this is really hacky - the stupidest thing is that looks for exactly same colors, so it is a good idea to use the following palette.
This is a photoshop .act file, load as the color table of your indexed image.
Two player Missile Commander clone. You can also play it in single player (just ignore the second cursor), but it will be harder.
For every 300 points you got two new missiles (one for the left, and one for the right silo).
I added music and sound effects, starry background, more animations to the main menu, and a new enemy missile type: the cluster bomb.
Is there a square root function somewhere in pico-8?
The lua sqrt doesn't seem to work, and there is no mention of such function in the docs either.
Or is there an easy way to calculate a unit vector?

Q: Add new array values to existing array position I have array which is presenting like this:
        $array = array (
        "list" => array(
            "serwer-1" => 3
        ),
        "servers" => array(
            3 => array(
                "msg" => "{'some data': 123123121313}",
                "status" => 200
            ),
        ),
    );

I want add new items to $array['list'] for example:
        array (
        "list" => array(
            "serwer-1" => 3
            //NEW DATA HERE
            "serwer-2" => 7,
        ),
        "servers" => array(
            3 => array(
                "msg" => "{'some data': 123123121313}",
                "status" => 200
            ),
        ),
    );

Maybe it's trivial, but I haven't any idea how to do this - I have bad day today :(

A: In order to add a key-value pair to an existing array just do it like the key exists there.
$array["list"]["serwer-2"] = 7;

Then you will get desired result.
