Locating a rehab for addiction to drugs or alcohol can be tough. Finding a specialized drug rehab that understands the underlying issues that affect LGBTQ people has led to more drug rehab centers offering specialized treatment and housing programs for LGBTQ clients in Washington.
Why is there a need for specialized treatment for the LGBTQ community in Washington?
Entering into a treatment facility in Washington for addiction can make a person feel very vulnerable, especially when treating LGBT clients. Most programs will boast of an LGBTQ program but in reality, there are actually very few specific drug rehab centers that are LGBT and gay-friendly in Washington. Transgender people have an especially hard time finding non-biased discrimination free treatment for their addictions. It isn't possible for an LGBTQ person to overcome addiction in a setting that is not specifically set up for handling the unique challenges that it can take to service LGBTQ clients. It is better to enroll in a Gay-Friendly Drug rehab center in Washington to ensure that your needs are handled properly to ensure a positive outcome in treatment.
LGBTQ Friendly drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers or LGBTQ friendly treatment programs for addiction will have more staff that are experienced in handling the complex dynamics akin to sexual expression, and sexual orientation accompanied issues. A conventional drug treatment facility in Washington will be unfamiliar or at the very least, uncomfortable with handling these types of challenges. For assistance in locating a rehab center that specializes in gay or transgender people with addiction, give us a call today. This is a confidential call and we are here to help 24/7.
There will be separate groups that deal with the specific concerns that only LGBTQ individuals seeking help from drugs and alcohol deal with. Individual therapists that are gay, lesbian, or transgender will have specialized treatment programs that include specific topics that are synonymous with the Gay and LGBTQIA+ community which include some of the topics listed below. All of these issues and more should be handled while enrolled in a gay-friendly Washington Drug rehab center.
Attending a gay-friendly or LGBTQ friendly inpatient drug rehabilitation center in Washington state will give the individual seeking treatment an atmosphere of honesty and mutual respect. This will help you be open about every aspect of your identity. Having to hide your sexual orientation can impede an individual's progress in an inpatient drug rehab center. Recovering in a setting that reinforces your self-respect, will help you be proud of who you are, reinforcing who you can become.
Family and spousal therapy sessions have another dynamic that LGBTQIA+ friendly drug rehabilitation centers in Washington are ready to handle. Addressing the complex relationships that accompany the LGBTQ community can be challenging for a conventional drug and alcohol treatment center to understand, let alone help handle.
Traditional marriage counseling and family therapy usually do not work for the gay, lesbian, and transgender community. LGBTQ friendly drug rehabs in Washington will encourage you to fully open up about your sexual orientation and relationship dynamics. Being able to be honest and open in a non-judgmental setting will allow you to feel comfortable and at ease while you are in treatment for addiction issues. This helps the counselors understand your unique situation, relationship dynamics, habits, and pitfalls and will also help them in handling the underlying issues that need to be taken care of while enrolled in a Gay-Friendly inpatient treatment center for LGBTQ people in Washington.
Most free rehab programs that offer treatment programs for addiction in Washington state will service gay, lesbian, and transgender clients. The programs that they offer, will in most cases be the same program that the general population uses in their recovery. Due to funding constraints in Washington, delivering a separate program is often not cost-effective to the center.
Addiction rates for the LGBTQ community according to the most recent study conducted in 2016, have included sexual orientation, and sexual identity to their survey of adults. This most recent data collection has found that almost a third of the LGBTQ population (30%) is addicted to drugs or alcohol. This is among the highest number of affected people in the nation. Heterosexuals are around 10% addicted rates as of 2016. For help finding the right LGBTQ friendly drug rehabilitation center in Washington call us now. We can help you find out what options are available in your area for treatment.

Dunfermline Carnegie Library & Galleries named Scotland's best building
The Carnegie Library and Galleries in Dunfermline
The Dunfermline Carnegie Library & Galleries scooped the UK's richest architecture prize last night as it was awarded the RIAS Andrew Doolan Best Building in Scotland Award for 2017.
Designed by Richard Murphy Architects and built by BAM Construction, the project was selected by judges as "a clear winner" from a shortlist of twelve winners of RIAS Awards for 2017, which were presented in June.
The winner of this year's RIAS Andrew Doolan Best Building in Scotland Award receives a gold medal cast by internationally renowned Scottish goldsmith James Brent Ward and a cheque for £25,000. This makes it the richest architectural prize in the UK and one of the most significant architecture awards in Europe. The award is generously supported by the late Andrew Doolan's family and by the Scottish Government.
The judges for this year's award were RIAS President, Stewart Henderson PRIAS, Professor Sue Roaf FRIAS, recently retired Professor of Architectural Engineering at Heriot-Watt University and Susie Stirling, head of placemaking & housing in the Scottish Government's Planning & Architecture Department.
The full judges' citation for the winning project reads: "In 2007 Richard Murphy Architects won a competition for a major new cultural hub in Dunfermline's historic centre. The new building is organised along a top-lit internal street, criss-crossed by bridges. To provide access an adjacent car park was redesigned as a walled garden leading to an entrance courtyard. External materials are sandstone, oak and Corten steel, acknowledging the town's industrial heritage and the steel magnate Andrew Carnegie, after whom the building is named.
"Internally the new spaces connect with the existing library, reference rooms repurposed as events spaces. At the lower level the local history reading room is organised in three tiers. The children's library, opens directly onto the garden. On the floor above the café's terraces offers views over the Abbey. Above is a double level, barrel vaulted museum and three flexible art galleries. The circulation 'architectural promenade' offers key views of significant historic buildings, culminating in a cube window framing views of the Abbey."
The award was presented at a ceremony at the National Museum of Scotland (Doolan Award winner for 2011) by the cabinet secretary for culture, tourism and external affairs, Ms Fiona Hyslop MSP alongside Mrs Margaret Doolan Hon FRIAS (the late Andrew Doolan's mother).
Fiona Hyslop said: "Last year the RIAS-led national Festival of Architecture focussed international attention on Scottish architecture and the quality of the shortlist for this year's RIAS Andrew Doolan Award illustrates again the continuing excellence of new architecture in Scotland.
"I am always delighted to announce the winner of the RIAS Andrew Doolan Best Building in Scotland Award and, in this Year of History, Heritage and Archaeology, the quality of the winner and of all the shortlisted projects illustrate that we are building a future heritage in Scotland that we can truly be proud of."

Q: Pandas: Create New Dataframe that Counts Number of Times Keywords / Phrases From List Occur in One Column I have the following word list:
list = ['clogged drain', 'right wing', 'horse', 'bird', 'collision light']
I have the following data frame (notice spacing can be weird):
ID  TEXT
1   you have   clogged   drain
2   the dog   has a right wing   clogged drain
3   the  bird flew  into collision light
4   the horse is here to horse   around
5   bird    bird bird

I want to create a table that shows keywords and frequency counts of how often the keywords occurred in TEXT field.  However, if a keyword appears more than once in the same row within the TEXT column, it is only counted once.
Desired output:
keywords         count
clogged drain    2
right wing       1
horse            1
bird             2
collision light  1

I have searched all over stackoverflow but couldn't find my specific case.

A: I would start by reformatting the TEXT column to get rid of your funny spacing, using str.split() and str.join(). Then, use str.contains for each of your keywords, and get the sum of the boolean values that are outputted (It will return True if your keyword is found):
# Reformat text, splitting wherever you have one or more spaces
df['formatted_text'] = df.TEXT.str.split('\s+').str.join(' ')

# create your output dataframe
df2 = pd.DataFrame(my_list, columns=['keywords'])

# Count occurences:
df2['count'] = df2['keywords'].apply(lambda x: df.formatted_text.str.contains(x).sum())

The result:
>>> df2
          keywords  count
0    clogged drain      2
1       right wing      1
2            horse      1
3             bird      2
4  collision light      1

Just to note, I changed the variable name of your list to my_list, so as not to mask the built in python data type

A: You can using extractall
df.TEXT.str.extractall(r'({})'.format('|'.join(list)))[0].str.get_dummies().sum(level=0).gt(0).astype(int).sum()
Out[225]:
bird               2
clogged drain      2
collision light    1
horse              1
right wing         1

Q: Why do I get a PDOException when I try to create the database using Doctrine? First, I would like to mention the issue appears only when I try to recreate the database using php bin/console doctrine:database:create.  All other Doctrine commands work.
To prove it, let's delete the database:
$ php bin/console doctrine:database:drop --force
Dropped database for connection named `my_database`

Process finished with exit code 0 at 01:59:44.
Execution time: 2 834 ms.

However, now, when I try to recreate the database with php bin/console doctrine:database:create, I get:
[PDOException]
  SQLSTATE[HY000] [1049] Unknown database 'my_database'

The doctrine configuration in config.yml:
doctrine:
    dbal:
        driver:   pdo_mysql
        host:     "%database_host%"
        port:     "%database_port%"
        dbname:   "%database_name%"
        user:     "%database_user%"
        password: "%database_password%"
        charset:  UTF8

The related arguments in parameter.yml:
parameters:
    database_host: 127.0.0.1
    database_port: ~
    database_name: my_database
    database_user: root
    database_password: ~

List of Doctrine packages:
doctrine/annotations              v1.4.0  Docblock Annotations Parser
doctrine/cache                    v1.6.1  Caching library offering an object-oriented API for many cache backends
doctrine/collections              v1.4.0  Collections Abstraction library
doctrine/common                   v2.7.2  Common Library for Doctrine projects
doctrine/dbal                     v2.5.12 Database Abstraction Layer
doctrine/doctrine-bundle          1.6.7   Symfony DoctrineBundle
doctrine/doctrine-cache-bundle    1.3.0   Symfony Bundle for Doctrine Cache
doctrine/doctrine-fixtures-bundle 2.3.0   Symfony DoctrineFixturesBundle
doctrine/inflector                v1.1.0  Common String Manipulations with regard to casing and singular/plural rules.
doctrine/instantiator             1.0.5   A small, lightweight utility to instantiate objects in PHP without invoking their constructors
doctrine/lexer                    v1.0.1  Base library for a lexer that can be used in Top-Down, Recursive Descent Parsers.
doctrine/orm                      v2.5.6  Object-Relational-Mapper for PHP

A: This issue can appear when using Doctrine DBAL 2.5, as stated in the Symfony documentation:

The server_version option was added in Doctrine DBAL 2.5 ... If you don't define this option and you haven't created your database yet, you may get PDOException errors because Doctrine will try to guess the database server version automatically and none is available.

So we have to define the database server version in config.yml:
doctrine:
    dbal:
        server_version: 5.7

To find you server version, you can:

*

*use mysql -V for MySQL

*use postgres -V or psql -V for PostgreSQL

Skyrim Special Edition Runs at 1080p/30fps on PS4 and Xbox One – "Looks Pretty Solid"
By Fahad Arif
Bethesda's re-release of the 2011 smash hit The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is now available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and the good folks over at Digital Foundry have now published a report detailing the findings of their technical analysis of the game. Skyrim Special Edition, as it is titled, runs at a native full HD 1080p resolution on both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles with a targeted frame rate of 30fps. Xbox One version easily reaches 1080p with "some degree of overhead left over," Digital Foundry explains, "but almost certainly not enough to sustain 60fps frame-rates, necessitating the 30fps cap."
Unlike the PC version, which failed to impress a large number of players due to performance issues and minimal improvements in visual quality, the console versions of Skyrim Special Edition look "pretty solid" in terms of both visual quality and frame rate stability. The game seems to make use of the same temporal anti-aliasing that was featured in Fallout 4. "Overall, it's a pretty solid 30fps with just minor stutter - we suspect that storage and streaming may well be the issue here, more noticeable on Xbox One," Digital Foundry noted.
"Thus far, Skyrim Special Edition looks pretty solid," Digital Foundry wrote in conclusion. "It can be viewed as an enhanced PC port for the current-gen platforms and in comparison to the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions, there's a night and day improvement in terms of performance and stability, not to mention resolution, art quality and overall levels of detail." If you're having a difficult time deciding which console version to pick, you can't go wrong with either. "So far, both consoles appear remarkably like-for-like in terms of their presentation," the site said.
Do, however, keep in mind that Skyrim Special Edition is getting PlayStation 4 Pro support, which will allow the game to render at a native 4K resolution and deliver even smoother frame rate. "Bearing in mind that this is a 4x resolution boost over the base PS4 version, using a GPU with around 2.3x the processing power (plus other enhancements), there is the suggestion that the standard PlayStation 4 hardware may be somewhat under-utilised here," Digital Foundry wrote.

Based on data
WISE WFD Database The WISE-WFD database contains data from River Basin Management Plans reported by EU Members States according to article 13 of the Water Framework Directive. The full database is quite complex and not yet made available for public download. However, a number of aggregation queries have been made, these aggregation queries extract data from the database and present it as data tables that can be downloaded in Excel format. Most of the reported data are considered final, however, in some cases they are considered provisional by Member States. The aggregation tables are updated when the underlying WFD Database is updated with new or corrected data. It is therefore important to associate the use of any information in the tables with the date in which data was retrieved. The tables are organised for an access at various levels of overviews versus details - aggregated at country, river basin district (RBD) or in some cases even RBD-subunit level.

Tristar Industries

Name: Tristar Industries (also, "Tri-Star Industries)
Date(s): 1970s-1981
Profit/Nonprofit:
Country based in: USA
Focus: Star Trek: TOS
Click here for related articles on Fanlore.
Tristar Industries is the corporation that ran the procons, Schuster Star Trek Conventions.
The last three cons (1981) were produced by "Capital Expositions." [1] The address of this new company name was the same address (88 New Dorp Plaza) as "Tristar," so it appears it was the same outfit with a different legal name.
Two of the men in charge were Al Schuster and John Townsley. Townsley is specifically mentioned by Starlog #11 as being in charge of of the New York City con in September 1977.

Sondra Marshak and Myrna Culbreath's statement, and some product placement for Star Trek: The New Voyages #2
Sondra Marshak and Myrna Culbreath, from a commemorative edition of the program book for 1978's Star Trek World Expo:
Dear Star Trek Fans:
Our Goal ... to Summon the Future!
Listen, we know of a little place on Rigel II with exotic Orion dancers ... or maybe you'd like to drop in on a 23rd Century Fashion Show! How about a Talent Contest? Catch the Andorian singer: "I'm So Blue!" Maybe you'd prefer songs in the key of Trek by the Omicron Ceti III group... or a surprise visit by a Vulcan! Or an outline of NASA's long-range plans for "where no man" by Jesco von Puttkamer, NASA's Program Manager for Space Industrialization. He takes Star Trek as NASA's longest goal. Maybe you can get him to autograph the introduction he wrote for "Star Trek: The New Voyages II. "Don't forget to have Nichelle Nichols autograph her story and epilogue in the book. Would you like a rap session with someone who bears a remarkable resemblance to a Starship Captain? Feast your eyes on his new album, "William Shatner - Live','or win a chance to talk with him.
All of these things are possible at the Star Trek conventions run by Tristar. More guest stars and speakers... more unusual and imaginative fan-oriented activities than we have ever seen at any other conventions — and we've seen some! This is why Tristar conventions have become a tradition for us — a tradition which we expect to maintain indefinitely.
Star Trek conventions as a whole have been at the heart of what has kept Star Trek alive these many years.. . and none more than, the fan-oriented conventions. Here we can share for a few days the sense of the reality of that future which each of us sets out to summon. In our daily lives many of us are alone or nearly alone. We do what we can in our own ways. But here we can share the vision of the goal, make friends, exchange notes along the way, enjoy, rejoice, see the beauty and value of some of the people who made us see a special vision of the future. It is fuel for the future!
That's another reason we've made Tristar conventions a special tradition of our own. At these conventions only we've scheduled special sessions to share our stage with some of the best fan talent we can find — writers, editors, artists, musicians, multi-talenl fan groups. We've been told that "Star Trek Lives" with its fan-fiction section and "Star Trek: The New Voyages" have touched off a tremendous flood of creativity. It is our hope that this chance to get together, exchange ideas with top fan creators, and sometimes enlist their help, will touch off another one.
One of the main reasons we're involved in Star Trek is the good which Star Trek does in the real world towards summoning the future. It is the reason we always try to be available to fans. And it is the reason we thank, especially, the management of Tristar for their vision, imagination and benevolent attitude towards their celebrity guests and fans alike. We have heard only the highest praise for all of them from the Star Trek stars, writers, NASA people ... and we couldn't agree more. Tristar makes what we do here possible and continues to create conventions that are a special experience for everyone.
Each time we attend a Tristar convention, we feel as if we have stepped into a branch office of Camelot. This is Cameiot outbound ... to the stars. Anyone for Rigel II?

10 Things You Didn't Know About Greek Mythology
by Debra Kelly
The stories of Greek mythology have formed the basis for how we think of our ancient forefathers. We've heard the stories of Theseus and the Minotaur and how Pandora opened a box and cursed humanity with the evils of the world. We know Aphrodite as the goddess of love and we know Pegasus is the winged horse. That's just scraping the surface of Greek mythology, and oftentimes, it's a much darker and much more bizarre place that we'd ever think. Here's a look at a few things you might not have realized about the Greek gods and goddesses we think we know so well.
10 Hades Wasn't A Totally Bad Guy

As the god of death and the underworld, Hades suffers a bit from a bad image. In pop culture, he's often treated like the Greek version of the Christian devil, but that's a bit of a stretch. To start, Hades never chose the underworld as his domain. He and his brothers, Zeus and Poseidon, drew straws to see who would be lord of what realm. Zeus drew the heavens and the upper world, Poseidon drew the seas, and Hades drew the underworld.
As underworld rulers go, he's a pretty fair guy. When Orpheus descended into the underworld to retrieve his bride, Hades was so moved by the bard's pleas that he agreed to let the woman go—on the condition that they leave and Orpheus not look back. (He did, of course, and lost her.) Similarly, he deals pretty fairly with Hercules when the hero approaches him needing to return to the upper world with Hades's three-headed dog as part of his labors. It's also important to note that it wasn't Hades who was responsible for the condemnation or redemption of souls. Those who died were subject to the judgment of three demigods—Minos, Aiakos, and Rhadamanthys—not Hades.
9 Ares Regularly Bows To A Girl
Ares might be the god of war, but he's also a coward—and his family hates him for it. Zeus and Hera tend to look on their son with little more than disdain, and his sister Athena shares his place as a deity overseeing war. While Ares personifies the aspects of havoc and bloodshed, Athena's place is as a goddess of defense, strength, and righteous battle—and Ares bows to her.
Both feature in The Iliad, and more than once, Athena intervenes against Ares on behalf of a fair and righteous battle. Ares consistently backs down and even relies on Athena to protect him from the wrath of his parents. When Ares does have success on the battlefield, it's at Athena's side. When he challenges Athena, he loses—badly. Ares is portrayed as whining to his father when the goddess of wisdom and strategic warfare puts him back in his proper place, and his complaints are met with a less than fatherly sentiment.
8 The Virgin Goddess Is A Notorious Killer Of Women
Artemis is the twin sister of Apollo and daughter of Zeus. When she is young, she appeals to her father to allow her to remain a virgin for eternity and he grants her that wish. She is the huntress, and at the same time, the protector of animals. As much as she is the virgin goddess and the picture of purity, she is also the goddess of childbirth and the destroyer of young women. Her stepmother, Hera, calls her a lion among women—and she lives up to the unofficial title.
Artemis murders the six daughters of Niobe, who boasted that she has more children than Artemis's mother, Leto. She demands the sacrifice of Iphigenia in repayment for her father's murder of a sacred stag (although in some versions, Artemis saves the maiden at the last moment). In Artemis's real-life cult rituals, there were instances of extreme cruelty, from the ritual drawing of blood from a man's throat to beatings and whippings.
7 Theseus Was A Jerk

We've all heard the story about how Theseus bravely ventured into the Labyrinth on Krete and slew the Minotaur, saving the city's people from the burden of sacrifice. What's rarely told are the stories about what a jerk Theseus really was. The labyrinth that the Minotaur called home was a massive maze designed by Daidalos—no one had ever found their way out. The only reason Theseus did was that he had help from Ariadne, the daughter of King Minos. Ariadne had a magical ball of golden thread that allowed Theseus to find his way out again.
After the Minotaur was dead, Theseus left Krete with the princess who had saved his life—and then abandoned her on the island of Naxos when she fell asleep. According to some stories, Ariadne had a happy ending when she married the god Dionysus and was granted immortality—or she was killed by Artemis. Either way, Theseus is still a jerk, and had already had some children with a few other women.
And let's not forget that Theseus forgot to hoist a red sail on his ship upon his return from Krete, a signal to his father that he was safe. His father, not seeing the signal, threw himself from the cliff in despairing suicide. Theseus is also given credit for founding Athens. According to Plutarch, Theseus decided that there was no better way to populate his young city than by raping the women, earning him the eternal hatred of his newfound kin.
6 Medusa Had Equally Ugly Sisters
Just as popular as the story of Theseus and the Minotaur is the story of Perseus and Medusa. The hero Perseus is tasked with slaying the Medusa, a hideous woman with snakes for hair that would turn anyone who looked at her to stone. He does, of course, but what's rarely mentioned is that Medusa wasn't the only snake-haired woman.
Medusa is the only mortal of three sisters, and all of them were Gorgons. Her sisters, Stheno and Euryale, were immortal Gorgons with the same hideous appearance as Medusa. They were all the daughters of Phorcys, a sea god, and his sister, Ceto, and they served as guardians to the underworld. In addition to having snakes for hair, the Gorgons were also said to have powerful brass hands, scales, and beards. Today, we only remember Medusa's name because she's the only Gorgon that Homer speaks of in his works.
5 Most Monsters You Know Have The Same Mother
Her name is Echidna. Half-woman and half-serpent, Echidna is the daughter of Phorcys and Ceto, making her another sister of Medusa. (Other accounts say she was born of Tartarus, the underworld, and Gaia, the earth.) Tartarus and Gaia were the parents of Echidna's husband, Typhon, a hundred-headed dragon. Together, Echidna and Typhon spawned a whole list of horrifying monsters that would challenge heroes and gods alike.
Hercules tangled with her children the Nemean lion; Cerberus, Hades's three-headed dog; the many-headed hydra; and Ladon, the dragon that protected the Golden Apples of the Hesperides. She was also the mother to the Chimera, the Sphinx, Scylla the sea monster, the Colchian dragon, and the eagle that ate Prometheus's liver every day in his eternal punishment for stealing fire from the gods.
4 Zeus, Bestiality, And Serial Rape
Zeus is known as the father of the gods, and by extension, he's also the father of a lot of other people. His amorous intentions toward the mortal and immortal alike are well-known, but that doesn't do justice to the details. His first wife, the Titan Metis, tried a variety of shape-changing acrobatics to get away from Zeus's advances. It didn't work—she became pregnant with Athena, and once Zeus heard the prophecy of how powerful his daughter would be, he swallowed them both.
It wasn't uncommon for Zeus to take the form of an animal in order to fulfill his desires, opening up the question of just what kind of bestiality the ancient Greeks were telling stories about. He wooed both Demeter and her daughter Persephone (his brother's wife) as a serpent, Asteria and Aiginia as an eagle, Boetis as a goat, Europa as a bull, Eurymedousa as an ant, Phthia as a dove, and Leda as a swan. Perhaps the oddest shape-changing seduction was the seduction of Danae, who was courted by a rain of gold that impregnated her with the hero Perseus. It wasn't just animals and inanimate objects—Zeus also wasn't above taking advantage of women while letting them think he was their husband, such as he did with Alkmene, Hercules's mother.
3 The Olympians Weren't The Original Immortals
When we think of Greek mythology, we tend to think of Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, and the other siblings as being the ultimate powers. But the Olympian gods weren't the first—or even the second—group of immortals who had a hand in shaping the world.
First there was Chaos, from which came the Earth (Gaia) and love (Eros). Occasionally, Tartarus, the Underworld, is also created from Chaos. Gaia then gave birth to the Sky, the Sea, and the Mountains. She took the Sky, Uranus, for her husband and one of their many offspring was the Titan Cronus. Cronus, in turn, took his sister Rhea as his wife, and they bore the original Olympian immortals—Poseidon, Hera, Demeter, Hestia, Hades, and the youngest, Zeus. Cronus knew that they would eventually surpass him in power and swallowed them to keep that from happening. Together, Gaia and Rhea saved Zeus, who later returned to free his siblings.
2 Pandora's Daughter And The Great Flood

Pandora is most famous for opening the box that released all the evils into the world. What she's less famous for is being the grandmother of the human race. Pandora was the wife of the Titan Epimetheus, the brother of Prometheus. Zeus, already annoyed with Prometheus's gall in stealing fire from the gods, not only engineered Pandora's creation but presented her with the notorious box as a wedding present. After opening the box, Pandora and Epimetheus had a mortal daughter together, named Pyrrha. Pyrrha married Deukalion, the son of Prometheus.
The gods continued to be disgusted with the corruption of their creatures, so they sent a massive flood to earth to destroy the mortals. Prometheus was able to warn his son and daughter-in-law, who took shelter on the high peaks of Mount Parnassos and survived. When the flood waters receded, the couple asked the Oracle at Delphi what to do. She replied that if they cast the bones of their mother to the ground, the world would be repopulated. As Gaia was their mother, they threw stones to the earth. Those that Deukalion threw became men, and those that Pyrrha threw became women.
1 The Military Aspect Of Aphrodite
Aphrodite is most commonly known as the goddess of love and beauty. While that's definitely accurate, there's also a military aspect to the worship of this goddess. In some areas of ancient Greece, the cults of Aphrodite and Ares are closely connected. The two had an adulterous love affair that resulted in four children—Eros, Phobos, Deimos, Anteros, and Harmonia. For this reason, it's not too much of a stretch to see why she's also associated with war.
Statues and depictions of an armored—and armed—Aphrodite have been found in port cities, supporting textual evidence that she was often appealed to by merchants, sailors, and other travelers for smooth seas. Aphrodite was also known as a guardian of naval officers and a protector of civil law. She was a common goddess for magistrates and other political figures to worship and perform sacrifices to, as it was thought she would bless them with harmony and a peaceful relationship with their subjects. In the writings of Aristotle, there is mention of a particular group of civil authorities called the gynaikonomoi, who worship Aphrodite. These civic officials were charged with the regulation of women's appearance, dress, and actions in public and ensuring their proper treatment.

In our previous blog posts, we have explored video marketing, the reasons you should strongly consider incorporating it into your wider marketing strategy and also the type of videos you can include in your content toolkit.
Once you have well and truly decided that video is where it's at, you've selected what videos your company would most benefit from and decided to plump for production, either through an agency or in-house, where do you start your planning?
If you're paying an agency, they can plan the production for you, but if you're taking on the project in-house, where do you start?
This blog post helps you get started with the first three stages.
Why are you creating this video in the first place?
First of all, you need to decide why you are creating this video. What message do you want it to send out to your fans, followers and prospective customers? What story do you want it to tell? What action would you like them to take once they have seen the video? What channels would you like the videos to appear on?
Who are you creating this video for?
Who is your target audience for this video? If you have various personas, you're best choosing one and focussing your video on that.
What format would you like the video to take?
Will the video have one central character? Will you film it using actors or constructing it with animation software? If you are using an animation, will you require a voiceover artist or will you include text on the screen?
Establishing the brief is essential for your creative team so you have something to refer back to later if there are any misunderstandings.
Once you know the reasons you are creating the video, you can begin the process of developing a storyline.
Each frame can be thought of as an individual scene, just like a play on stage. Each new stage set is a "frame" on the screen.
Decide each frame with a rough summary of the action that takes place during that scene.
You can create a visual representation of each frame using a variety of tools.
You can draw out the timeline using a post-it note per scene, or you can opt for sketching out the frames in boxes on a large piece of flipchart paper or a whiteboard.
After you've completed your rough sketches, take a photograph of each scene to import into a PowerPoint presentation.
The advantage of using a PowerPoint presentation is that you can neatly display your images on slides and use the Notes function to jot some bullets down summarising the action points in the scene, which can then be printed out for your stakeholders.
Using Canva, you make slides using the presentation template. Using the vast array of stock photos and other assets, even the least artistic marketer can come up with some beautiful visual slides.
If you download the series of images as a .png and extract them from the zip file, they can then be imported into a RealtimeBoard, where you can arrange the slides in order and present as a complete storyboard with explanatory notes. The RealtimeBoard can be exported as a PDF to share with your colleagues.
Pexels' royalty free stock images can also be a useful tool for creating a visual representation of each frame if you don't feel confident creating your own.
The reason you need to complete this stage before you go straight to scripting or production is that the team can then discuss and agree the initial storyboard idea before you've delved into the commitment of starting production.
Once you've agreed the chronology and the action of the video, you can start writing out the script.
By this stage, you will know if your characters are going to talk out loud, whether there will be a narrator or whether all the information will be transmitted via text on the screen.
Separate out your script for each frame.
As well as direct speech and narration, don't forget to include directions for the actors or for the animator.
If you are using voiceover recordings, you will need to include timing information as well as instructions about how the voice is to sound e.g. happy, sad, jolly, serious etc.
Enter character 1 and 2. Include any directions.
Now you're ready to begin production!
These are the basics of planning your video project. Once you get started, you will have a great time working on it.

The 10 Best Sitcoms of 2011
By Josh Jackson | December 17, 2011 | 1:59pm
If the last few years of television were all about the rise of reality, 2012 was marked by a resurgence of the sitcom. Just looking at some of the supporting cast members in the list below—Zach Galifianakis, Danny DeVito, Alec Baldwin, Rob Lowe and Chevy Chase—it's been a while since sitcoms have been this strong. Here are our 10 favorites of the bunch.
10. New Girl
Creator: Elizabeth Meriwether
Stars: Zooey Deschanel, Jake Johnson, Max Greenfield, Lamorne Morris, Hannah Simone
Moving way past "too adorably quirky" into the territory of "so self-consciously too adorably quirky that it's funny," Deschanel circles all the way back to her old charming self in this fall debut. The supporting cast of male roommates has helped it find it's footing since Damon Wayans left after the pilot for another solid new sitcom, Happy Endings.
9. Up All Night
Creator: Emily Spivey
Stars: Christina Applegate, Maya Rudolph, Jennifer Hall, Will Arnett
Network: NBC
Will Arnett and Christina Applegate play a couple with a new baby, but it's Maya Rudolph as Applegate's Oprah-like boss Ava Alexander who steals NBC's best new show this season.
8. Bored To Death
Creator: Jonathan Ames
Stars: Jason Schwartzman, Zach Galifianakis, Ted Danson
Writer Jonathan Ames' series features Jason Schwartzman as a writer named Jonathan Ames who decides to advertise his private investigative services on Craigslist. Zach Galifianakis plays Ames' best friend, Ted Danson quickly makes us forget he was ever in Becker, and the parade of guest stars and recurring characters continues this season with Patton Oswalt and Isla Fisher. But it's Schwartzman's absurd mix of self-obsession and sincerity that makes the show so fun to watch.—Josh Jackson
7. How I Met Your Mother
Creators: Craig Thomas, Carter Bays
Stars: Josh Radnor, Jason Segel, Alyson Hannigan, Cobie Smulders, Neil Patrick Harris
Very few shows are able to teeter on the tightrope of daytime soap opera and a laugh-out-loud sitcom without going overboard. For over half a decade HIMYM has spun a hilarious tale of how Ted met his children's mother without growing stale. Sure, fans were starting to grow weary, but since the dramatic and uplifting turn in Marshall and Lily's life and the return of the Ted-Robin-Barney love triangle, the show is back in top form and geting more like Friends than ever. We're closing in on a lot of mysteries (Who exactly is the mother? Will Barney marry Robin? How will the baby change the Eriksens?), but so much more has developed to keep us intrigued for a few more seasons. Bonus: Neil Patrick Harris is as loveable as ever.—Adam Vitcavage
6. It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
Creator: Rob McElhenney
Stars: Charlie Day, Rob McElhenney, Glenn Howerton, Kaitlin Olson, Danny DeVito
In its seventh season, It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia continues to surprise, keeping it among FX's highest-rated shows. This season The Gang has tackled The Jersey Shore, beauty pageants, Facebook and hurricanes, each in a way that only the show's anti-sitcom mentality could. It's Always Sunny remains as shocking and consistently hilarious as it's always been, while becoming self-referential and staying original, even after hitting syndication.—Ross Bonaime
5. Modern Family
Creators: Steven Levitan, Christopher Lloyd
Stars: Ed O'Neill, Ty Burrell, Sofia Vergara, Julie Bowen, Jessie Tyler Ferguson, Eric Stonestreet
Modern Family liberally borrows some of the finest elements of two of the best sitcoms of the last decade: Arrested Development and The Office. But it applies them to one of the greatest ensembles currently on TV, making each family interesting and fun in their own way. Modern Family has been able to take ideas we've seen before, but wrap them up in a way that feels fresh each week.—Ross Bonaime
4. Louie
Creator: Louis C.K.
Stars: Louis C.K., Hadley Delany, Pamela Adlon
When life gives you lemons, you can make lemonade. But as comedian-turned-divorced dad Louis C.K. proves on a week-to-week basis, you don't have to be happy about it. Louie offers a painfully real but hilarious look at Louis C.K.'s fictional, jaded version of himself and explores the humor in divorce, aging and parenthood.—Tyler Kane
3.. 30 Rock
Creator: Tina Fey
Stars: Tina Fey, Tracy Morgan, Jane Krakowski, Jack McBrayer, Scott Adsit, Judah Friedlander, Alec Baldwin
Season Five of Tina Fey's oft-celebrated sitcom helped re-establish the show's critical clout after what was considered a relatively weak fourth season. With varying degrees of success, Fey and company experimented with form more than ever with a two-hour "100th episode" special, an episode recorded live à la classic sitcoms, and even an entire episode stylized as a fictional reality TV show starring Tracy Jordan's wife. That adventurousness aside, 30 Rock's fifth season faced a tremendous obstacle: Central actor Tracy Morgan underwent an emergency operation related to diabetes during production, forcing him to miss several episodes. The show headed off this potential debacle with finesse, which is a further testament to the strength of the comedic interplay between Fey and Alec Baldwin.—John Barrett
2. Parks and Recreation
Creators: Greg Daniels, Michael Schur
Stars: Amy Poehler, Nick Offerman, Aziz Ansari, Adam Scott, Rob Lowe, Chris Pratt, Aubrey Plaza, Rashida Jones
Parks and Recreation started its run as a fairly typical mirror of The Office, but in its third season, the student became the master. As it's fleshed out with oddballs and unusual city quirks, Pawnee has become the greatest television town since Springfield. The show flourished this year with some of the most unique and interesting characters in comedy today. With one of the greatest writing staffs of any show right now, Parks and Recreation is only getting better with time.
—Ross Bonaime
1. Community
Stars: Joel McHale, Donald Glover, Danny Pudi, Alison Brie, Gillian Jacobs, Yvette Nicole Brown, Ken Jeong, Chevy Chase
There are so many aspects of Community that are fresh, smart and creative that it's beyond head-scratching that the entire world isn't walking around quoting lines from the sitcom. For two-and-a-half seasons now we've followed Jeff Winger and his merry study group around a community college campus, hanging onto every pop-culture reference and absurd plotline, like we'd never heard or seen them before. But we have heard and seen them, just never taken to their ridiculous extremes. And that's why Community is such a top-notch show. Dan Harmon has created a world that we feel a part of. We know how ridiculous it is, and so do the characters. We love the gang because we can hang out with them and know that they'll love us back just as much.—Adam Vitcavage

It was only a small band of men who were together just a short time during the War of 1812. Nevertheless, it's members performed exploits in the Niagara area that became the stuff of legends. They were known as the "Green Tigers or Bloody Boys".
On May 27, 1813, a strong American force captured Fort George at Niagara, now Niagara-on-the-Lake, and soon after had control of the whole Niagara Frontier. The British retreated to Burlington Bay. American troops pursued them, but were checked at the night battle of Stoney Creek on June 6. The invaders were now forced to retreat. They abandoned Fort Erie and other defence posts along the Niagara River, holding onto only Fort George and the adjacent town of Niagara along with, for a time, Queenston.
The British began to reoccupy the Niagara Peninsula, but did not feel strong enough to drive the enemy out of the fort, just as the Americans were not able to mount an offensive. It was a stalemate. However, all was not peaceful. Many inhabitants on this side of the Niagara River now found their homes and farms plunndered by American raiding parties. Even worse, many abled bodied men were taken prisoner.
Chief among the leaders of these marauders was Dr. Cyrenius Chapin, from Buffalo, who commanded his own troop of 50 mounted riflemen. Chapin saw his job as protecting Canadians from what he felt was British tyranny. For their part, the British became determined to rid the area of his terrorist attacks.
Accordingly, Lieutenant James FitzGibbon of the 49th Regiment asked for and recieved permission to form a hand picked corps to deal with these raiders. Those chosen were dressed in grey-green uniforms and trained in guerrilla warfare. They were nicknamed the "Green Tigers" or the "Bloody Boys" due to their fierceness in fighting and the colour of their uniforms. Along with having exceptional courage, each man was tireless, quick-witted and skilled at deception.
FitzGibbon was a brilliant tactician and an immensely popular leader. Irish -born and largely self educated, he had advanced in the army by merrit rather than in the usual way of purchasing rank. This had been mainly due to one of his first commanding officers, Isaac Brock, who recognized FitzGibbon's abilities and taught him leadership skills.
On June 19, 1813, while attempting to track down the elusive and despised Chapin, FitzGibbon had a narrow escape in what is now Niagara Falls. He and his men had learned that on that day the American raiders would possibly be travelling from Fort George to Chippawa along the Portage Road. The Green Tiger (FitzGibbon) hoped to ambush them at or near what was called the Crossroads - the junction of Lundy's Lane and Portage Road.
As he came down Lundy's Lane, FitzGibbon decided to leave his men hidden in some woods near what is now the Drummond Road intersection while he went on alone to reconnoitre. As he neared the Crossroads, a Mrs. Kerby, who lived at the corner, ran out to meet him. She told him that Chapin's men along with 150 American infantrymen, had just passed by.
FitzGibbon then noticed a horse, presumably belonging to one of Chapin's raiders, tied to a post in front of Denfield's Inn which was located on Portage Road, near Lundy's Lane. He entered the tavern and was immediately confronted by two Americans, one of whom was pointing a gun directly at him.
FitzGibbon took several steps toward the man extending his hand, pretending that he was an old acquaintance. Then, in a lighting move, he seized the rifle barrel and ordered the soldier to surrender. The American refused. His companion then took aim at FitzGibbon who, while he had the first rifle still clamped in his right hand, somehow managed to grab the second firearm with his left. Now locked in a struggle with both men, he dragged them outside while yelling at each to surrender.
Mrs. Kerby tried unsuccessfully to persuade two passersby to help FitzGibbon, while a small boy threw stones at the Americans. With his free hand, one of the soldiers then pulled FitzGibbon's sword from its scabbard. He was about to thrust it into FitzGibbon's chest when Mrs. Denfield, the innkeeper's wife who had been standing in the door holding her baby, ran up and kicked the sword out of his hand. When the soldier attempted to pick it up, she put her baby down , grabbed the sword and ran with it back to the Inn. Her husband now on the scene had helped FitzGibbon disarm the two Americans and take them prisoner. FitzGibbon the rejoined his men and they rode off.
As for the hated Chapin, he was finally captured at the Battle of Beaverdams five days later.


Premises liability cases arise for injuries that occur on a person or business' property. Typically, these claims include slip and fall cases. However, premises liability cases include a much broader set of circumstances. Premises liability claims have become increasing difficult to prosecute. Your rights may be affected by the type of property, the age of the person injured, whether the property is owner by a person or a governmental entity, the reason the injured person was at the property when injured, and the owner's knowledge of any condition on the property that caused the injury. Understanding when a case involves premises liability theories or other negligence theories can also make big difference in an injured party's ability to recover for serious injuries sustained. With all personal injury claims, potential clients need to be aware of the effect a recovery will have on medical expenses paid or incurred on the injured client's behalf. We can help you evaluate whether pursuing a claim is the right decision for you.
The Firm has experience in handling waterpark accident cases. These parks can be a great fun for families. However, certain laws regulate the manner in which these amusements are constructed and operated. If waterparks and water slides are not operated as require by law, then customer can be seriously injured. Injuries can include head trauma, paralysis, and serious lacerations to extremities.
If you have been injured and have questions regarding your rights or if you are a property owner interested in limiting potential liabilities associated with your property, contact The Law Office of Daniel O'Brien, P.C.
Premises liability claims are usually handled on a contingent fee basis. With all contingent fee arrangements, if a recovery is made, clients are responsible for court costs and all expenses advanced to prosecute a case. If no recovery is made, you are not responsible for any fees.

A1 () — шосе у Хорватії. Довжина шосе становить 553,7 км, проходить за маршрутом Загреб — Карловац — Задар — Спліт — Вргорац — Плоче. Планується продовження траси до Дубровника, після чого його загальна довжина складе 553,7 км.

Шосе A1 можна вважати головним шосе країни, оскільки воно сполучає два найбільших міста Хорватії, і цілий ряд інших великих міст, а також центральну Хорватію і Далмацію, перетинаючи всю країну. Це перше шосе, яке проходить через гористий район Ліка. Є платним.

Опис
Від Загреба шосе прямує на південний захід на Карловаць. За Карловацем біля села Босилєво автобан розгалужується: на захід прямує шосе A6 на Рієку, а A1 повертає на південь. Поблизу узбережжя біля міста Задар магістраль повертає на південний схід і прямує уздовж Адріатичного узбережжя на деякій відстані від нього. Оператором ділянки Загреб—Босилєво є компанія «Autocesta Rijeka - Zagreb», решти траси — компанія «Hrvatske autoceste».

Шосе двосмугове в кожну сторону з узбіччям по всій довжині. На всьому протязі автомагістралі споруджені транспортні розв'язки, на 2010 рік їх 30.

Автомагістраль прямує горбистою місцевістю на півночі, гористою місцевістю у центральній частині, у горах поблизу узбережжя Адріатичного моря на півдні. Вона проходить біля меж національних парків Плітвіцькі озера і Крка. Уздовж дороги розташовані численні місця для відпочинку (в 2010 році - 26).

Елементи

Найбільші тунелі на магістралі: Мала-Капела (5780 метрів, між центральною Хорватією і Лікою) і Светий Рок (5 679 метрів, між Лікою і Далмацією). Найбільші мости — міст над Доброю (546 метрів), Міст над Крка (391 метр) і Масленицький міст (378 метрів).

"icardsort" App for Team Building - FUNdoing. People. Together. Learning.
Here's a fun App "icardsort" I've been using on my iPad for small group activities and processing sessions. (I'm not sure if this App is available on other operating systems.) You make your own word or number cards - one-word cards have been working out well for me - creating decks for all sorts of applications.
To the right is a screen shot of a Word Circle Puzzle from WCP 18s Decks. (Don't know about Word Circle Puzzles? Check out this previous post.) Here's the "sort" part. Once you make your decks you can then touch on a card and move it around the screen. Notice up in the left hand corner of the screen. Cards can be different colors and you can also change the font. Using pinch gestures you can even make the cards bigger of smaller. Great for Word Circle Puzzles!!
I've also started making decks of Debrief Cards. Shown here are some of the cards in my Feelings Deck (notice these cards are much bigger on the screen - again, pinch gestures to resize cards). I originally created this deck for a group specifically working on feelings literacy - navigating their way through understanding the feelings and emotions they've been experiencing in their lives.
With one of my recent groups I creating one-word cards as I progressed through activities. Words came from one-word Whip Arounds we did, words I heard them say during activities, and words they shared during processing sessions. (I did let the group know at the start of the program what I was doing with the iPad.) Then, for a closing we reviewed the words and were able to reflect on specific experiences. The group also had time to pick out their three most "powerful" words - words they wanted to remember about their program.
As with anything, the right prop at the right time. So far pulling out the iPad with the right group has been a positive experience for me. I certainly hooked the "Apples" in the crowd and brought in a piece of tech to engage the tech-savey youth.
Give this one a try - lots of fun! Let me know about your Decks!! Share in the comments below.


This page shows the early stages of the new Rice Vigeant Belly-tank Lakester.
We started by stripping the old car, and only saving a few key items from it. The biggest, and most obvious one was the lower half of the body, which we needed to keep in order to have a "belly-tank" lakester.
Here is the body, mounted in a wooden frame so that it wouldn't move while we assembled the rest of the car inside it.
Before we could build the frame though, we needed get a good idea of what we wanted. A quick trip to Home Depot for several sticks of PVC pipe and a hole saw, and we had simple roll cage we could try on for size. Please note the duct tape, and the clean garage floor. The duct tape you will see again, the clean garage, you will not.
Our plan this time around was to build the car right, the FIRST time. That meant welding the cage in exactly the right shape. Since everything else would weld, bolt or fasten to this cage, we took a lot of time and effort to make it right. In fact, we started to joke we were putting more care and effort in pieces that were going to be thrown away, than we had into the old car. Case in point, the weld fixture shown above. The sheet metal frames there were designed and built to hold 4 pipes in exactly the right shape. Once that shape had been welded, they were scrapped. Well, that's not entirely true. Some of them formed a temporary seat back until we made a real one. One of the big benefits of belonging to a car club is the additional resources available. We asked if anyone had a pipe notcher. There it is bolted to the work bench. It saved us several hours, and results were much better than we could have done without it.
This is Alan trying out the cage for size. We found some problems and took it to another club member's house to have him do an inspection. Looking at his lakester, we saw how he had solved some of the same problems. See the green steel sheets below? Those plates give the driver 3 inches more width, and 1-1/2 inches lower seat.
As You can see, the cage has progressed quite a ways. lots of triangle bracing and gussets. Time to add the front axle.
Here is the new front end. The pieces in blue, were from the old car. everything else is new.
This is basically what the car was like at the start of summer 2000. To see what happened next, follow this link: Mid 2000 or return to the main page, below.

We will have new episodes starting in the beginning of February. Thank you for your patience while we were getting our second podcast, The Gluten Free Baking Show, up and running.
We're talking today with bestselling author Rick Hanson about his book Resilient. Dr. Hanson is a therapist. He has a PhD in clinical psychology and a lot of his writing is at the intersection of psychological science, neuroscience, and mindfulness. He shares insights with us about how to manage stress, as well as the origins of it, and what it really takes for most of us to reduce it. Toward the end of the interview we talk about motivation: how it works and how we can refuel.
There is something magical about the way some people can push their physical limits. Think about Roger Bannister breaking the four-minute mile in 1954, or Diana Nyad's 103 mile swim from Cuba to Florida, or the countless people who have climbed Mt. Everest. Their physical limits impress us but we also know it's not all about the body. So much is influenced by the mind, their motivation, and their shear ability to put themselves on the line. Today we talk about the role the brain plays when it comes to pushing the limits of endurance. Alex Hutchinson is an award-winning journalist and the author of Endure: Mind, Body, and the Curiously Elastic Limits of Human Performance.
Dr. Rachel Yehuda's is a pioneer in the study of stress, trauma, and epigenetics. She has discovered that trauma survivors can leave biological markers in their offspring's genes. These markers appear to be associated with parents' experience of extreme stress. But this field is relatively new, with more research needing to be done, so today we talk about stress and then delve into the possible theories behind the science, what these theories might mean, and why this kind of biological effect could be a strength. Rachel Yehuda is the Director of the Traumatic Stress Studies Division at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine.
Fariba Nawa is a journalist who covers war, corruption, cultural trends, and human rights. She is drawn to the dire situations that war creates—the victimhood, the violence, and the people who are silenced by their circumstance. Mostly she wants to tell the stories of people who aren't able to share their own. But for her, going back to Afghanistan, eventually to live there, had another dimension: she was going home. I ask Fariba questions that we all, at times, wonder about: What does belonging look like to you? Do you feel at home? How have you been shaped by feelings of guilt?
Paula Stone Williams is a pastor and speaks nationally on issues of gender equity, LGBTQ rights, and religion. Her TEDx talk "I've lived as a man & a woman—here's what I learned" has received over 800,000 views. Today we talk with Paula about her search for authenticity, her experience being transgender and, given that she has lived as a woman and a man, what she's observed about gender equity.
Dr. Ron Friedman is an award-winning psychologist, business consultant, and the author of The Best Place to Work: The Art and Science of Creating an Extraordinary Workplace. He writes for the Harvard Business Review, Fast Company, Forbes, Entrepreneur, and CNN. Dr. Friedman's research sheds light on how to build healthy workplaces, which includes embracing failure, giving up the mindset of perfection, and taking care of yourself. We start the interview with Ron talking about what motivated him to pursue such an extensive project—what became his book.
You've probably heard businessmen or women touting what has become an adage: invest in your strengths. They mean well, and in some cases they're right, but when you're dealing with who you want to become, it's hard to find universal truths.
Barbara Oakley, the author of Mindshift, offers a fresh perspective. She shares stories about people who buckled down and pursued what for them seemed like long shots, if their pasts were any indication of what they could be good at. We talk with Barbara about learning, grit, and the challenges people face when changing careers. And, in case you're wondering, Barbara knows a lot about learning. She is the co-creator of the wildly popular Coursera Course Learning How to Learn. The course is the largest MOOC (which stands for "Massive Open Online Course"). It has totaled over two million enrollments.
As humans we have an emotional life that is always active. And if you're like me, you might find yourself wondering: Why is my mind so busy all the time? Does my brain really know what is best? Are my judgements accurate?
I am very excited to have Dr. Lisa Feldman Barrett joining us. She is a University Distinguished Professor of Psychology at Northeastern University, and the author of the book How Emotions are Made: The Secret Life of the Brain. The Harvard professor of psychology and bestselling author Daniel Gilbert has this to say about her work: "A brilliant and original book on the science of emotion by the deepest thinker about this topic since Darwin." We begin with Lisa explaining how we as humans shape each other.
Reaching our goals is partly what makes us feel good about life—we want to contribute, we want to feel competent at what we do, and we want to feel like we are learning and growing. But so often we face a problem: what we need to accomplish feels like the last thing we want to do, so we procrastinate or create all kinds of tricks to try to get ourselves to work harder that often don't work. Today we talk with someone who says our overemphasis on a topdown approach to self-control is faulty. In fact, too much of it will harm us in the long run.
David DeSteno, a professor and researcher at Northeastern University, talks about a different approach in his new book, Emotional Success. There are three emotions we can cultivate that not only enrich our lives, but they help us be more gritty without the longterm consequences.
The theory of emotion, through much of the twentieth century, was dominated by the idea that emotion is learned through the culture you grow up in. But a man by the name of Paul Ekman, thought this thinking was faulty. He believed Darwin's theory of emotion was correct, which supports the idea that there are basic emotions that are a product of our biology. In other words, they're universal, something we all have in common. So Ekman and his colleagues set out to test this idea in 1967 and, after traveling across the globe to run cross cultural experiments, they found support for six emotions that we all share: happiness, sadness, fear, anger, disgust, and surprise. But today the study of emotion is a burgeoning field. It's believed that all of our decisions and actions are spurred by emotion, so researchers are studying other emotions—ones that go beyond our basic need to survive and look at how we thrive. We talk with Jessica Tracy, a researcher and professor of psychology at the University of British Columbia, about her new book, Pride.
We are joined by bestselling author Robert Fulghum. It is hard to wrap our mind around a precise meaning of life, but Robert's words lead us to a river of sustenance—to places that nourish, heal, and help us go beyond ourselves. Through the experiences he shares, you get a sense of his perspective and the values he holds that make his life full of rich experiences and adventures that span time, relationships, and space. We hope you enjoy the conversation.
The majority of people say they want to write a book, as much as 80-90% by some estimates, so today we're diving into what makes a good story. It turns out, there are some rules that writers use, and once you know them, you will start to recognize them in the books you read, the movies you watch, and—hopefully—in the stories you write. Matthew Bird, the author of Secrets of Story, shares some insights. And, yes, I recommend his book because it is not only brimming with ideas, it is laugh-out-loud.
You can visit Matthew's blog here.
In her book, Grace Without God, Katherine Ozment explores how we can bring the best of religion into our lives without the parts that clash with our secular beliefs. She drifted away from religion as an adult, but after having children she realized that she needed to create a space where her family could explore the big questions: Why are we here? Where are we going? What happens when we die? On a quest to answer how people are exploring a world without religious faith, Katherine visited churches, discovered nonreligious communities, and spoke with scholars about the increasing trend of being religiously unaffiliated.
If you ever find yourself banging your head against a wall because you can't solve a problem in your life, it's you and everybody else, which brings us to our expert today. As a business consultant, speaker, and co-author of the book Innovation as Usual, Thomas Wedell-Wedellsborg has worked with managers all over the world to reframe how they think about their problems and how they go about solving them.
Check out Wedell-Wedellsborg's HBR article Are You Solving the Right Problems?
So often we are distracted and not present in the conversations in our lives and as a result we miss opportunities to connect and to build a better part of ourselves. Today we learn how to shift our attention, how to expand the breadth and depth of our relationships, and how to overcome some hurdles we have within ourselves. Joining us is Dr. Mark Goulston, a psychiatrist, business consultant, and the author of the widely acclaimed book Just Listen.
Dacher Keltner is a psychology professor at the University of California, Berkley and the founding director of the Greater Good Science Center. He has authored several books on human emotion and he is here today to talk with us about his most recent book: The Power Paradox.
Monica Worline, a business consultant and researcher at Standford University's Center for Compassion and Altruism Research, joins us to talk about her new book, Awakening Compassion at Work. The book is coauthored with Jane Dutton, a professor emerita of the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business.
Psychology Today says "a must-read book"
Andy Molinsky, a professor of organizational behavior at Brandeis University's business school, talks about his new book, Reach, and shares ideas about "just right" challenges that help us expand our comfort zone.

Q: Extracting JSON from string I am getting a string from server and want to extract Json string from it
here is the string
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <string xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">
      [{"isAssigned": false,"Name": "c:\\inetpub\\wwwroot\\XLEZ\\CLIENT","LastModified": ""},
    {"isAssigned": true,"Name": "\\mokuji.html","LastModified": "20140806 165709"},
    {"isAssigned": false,"Name": "\\result.html",{"LastModified": "20131002 235302"}]
    </string>

I am not being able to figure out how to do it...
Here is JSFiddle

A: Based on this via Convert XML to JSON (and back) using Javascript
I did this:
Live Demo
No error handling
function parseXml(xml) {
  var dom = null;
  if (window.DOMParser) {
    try {
        dom = (new DOMParser()).parseFromString(xml, "text/xml");
    } catch (e) {
        dom = null;
    }
  } else if (window.ActiveXObject) {
    try {
        dom = new ActiveXObject('Microsoft.XMLDOM');
        dom.async = false;
        if (!dom.loadXML(xml)) // parse error ..

        window.alert(dom.parseError.reason + dom.parseError.srcText);
    } catch (e) {
        dom = null;
    }
  } else alert("cannot parse xml string!");
  return dom;
}

function extractJson() {
  var xml = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><string xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">[ {"x":"y"},{"a":"b"}]</string>';
  var json = JSON.parse(parseXml(xml).firstChild.textContent);
  console.log(json)
}

A: If you are not opposed to using jQuery, it handles traversing and extracting data from XML strings just as well as HTML strings.
You can pull the JSON string like so
    // Get JSON string out
    var extractedJson = $(jsonData).text();

    // If you need it as an object
    var extractedJsonAsObject = $.parseJSON(extractedJson);

Here is a working example of your Fiddle:

A: You could simply parse the XML and get its content
function extractJson()
{

var jsonData = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><string xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">[ {'sone': 'json'},{'some': 'json2'}]</string>';
    var parser = new DOMParser();
 var xmlDoc = parser.parseFromString(jsonData,"text/xml");
console.log(xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('string')[0].innerHTML);
}
extractJson();

Note: Internet Explorer uses the loadXML() method to parse an XML string, while other browsers use the DOMParser object.

A: Here is a GIST that does the job.
The code is in kotlin but can be easily translated into any language.

A: Assuming Json doesn't contains tags, you can just replace all xml tags with empty string (ie remove them) like this:
function extractJson(){
    var jsonData = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><string xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">[ {sonejson},{some json2}]</string>';
    var extractdJson = jsonData.replace(/\<[^\>]+\>/gi,''); // extracted jason fron jsonData
    alert(extractdJson);
}

Hope this helps
