Chi Blackhawks Fans go Full OGer on Black Player
Hikikomori February 18, 2018, 9:56pm #1
https://youtu.be/RJ_0_d4rEds
On Sunday, Capitals forward Devante Smith-Pelly discussed the racial taunts he received from people in the attendance for Saturday's game between Washington and the Blackhawks that led to four people being removed from the United Center.
During the third period of Chicago's 7-1 win, Smith-Pelly was in the penalty box when a small group chanted "basketball" at him, because Smith-Pelly is black. On Sunday, Smith-Pelly said this has happened to him previously and referred to it as "disgusting."
"It's sad that athletes like myself 30, 40 years ago were standing in the same spot saying the same thing," Smith-Pelly said. "You'd think there'd be some sort of change or progression, but we're still working towards it I guess, and we're going to keep working towards it."

Devante Smith-Pelly on the incident last night in Chicago.
2:46 PM - Feb 18, 2018
The Capitals and the NHL released statements Sunday condemning the behavior of those who were chanting at Smith-Pelly.
Washington's statement reads:
The Washington Capitals are extremely disappointed by the intolerant behavior extended toward Devante Smith-Pelly by a select group of fans during Saturday night's game against the Chicago Blackhawks at United Center. The Capitals organization strives to be inclusive and has zero tolerance concerning any form of racism. Such behavior is unacceptable and has no place in hockey or society. As such, it is crucial to confront such appalling conduct, and the Capitals extend their appreciation to the Blackhawks organization and United Center security for swiftly removing the fans from the game.
The NHL's statement reads:
Last night in Chicago, individuals directed racial taunts and abuse at Washington Capitals player Devante Smith-Pelly. The National Hockey League condemns this unacceptable and reprehensible behavior. The League fully supports the actions taken by the United Center and the Blackhawks to eject the offenders and would expect the same response to any similarly unacceptable behavior at any of our arenas.
While this incident was isolated in nature, no player, coach, official or fan should ever have to endure such abuse at one of our games. The League will take steps to have our clubs remind all stakeholders that they are entitled to enjoy a positive environment - free from unacceptable, inappropriate, disruptive, inconsiderate or unruly behaviors or actions and may not engage in conduct deemed detrimental to that experience.
The Blackhawks also released a statement Saturday after the game.

Back Travel » On a Walking Tour, Mulling Over the Glorious Past and Odious Present of Tô Lịch River
On a Walking Tour, Mulling Over the Glorious Past and Odious Present of Tô Lịch River
Monday, 16 January 2023.
Written by Linh Phạm. Graphic by Hannah Hoàng.
We began our journey in front of a bank where the street Trần Nhật Duật turned into Chợ Gạo.
We started here because about 200 years ago, this area was called Hà Khẩu, or the Mouth of the River. The wide street of Trần Nhật Duật used to be the Red River, and the part turning into Chợ Gạo was where it split into Tô Lịch River. That day, Nguyễn Vũ Hải led us on a walking tour titled Dấu sông hồn phố — a journey tracing the vestige of Tô Lịch.
Trần Nhật Duật nowadays and the confluence of the Red River and Tô Lịch river back then, as drawn by artist Thành Phong.
When I was young, I'd often pass by the portion of the river on Thụy Khuê Street while riding my bike to school. The rancid smell from the blackened water always made me wonder: Why did people call it a river? Clearly it was a sewer. But the stories told during Hải's tour taught me that the river's life was a legend.
Hải said that the name Tô Lịch was mentioned in history books thousands of years ago. When Vietnam was still a part of China, Cao Biền, a famous Chinese geomancer, had a magical battle with Long Đỗ — the dragon god of Tô Lịch River. Cao Biền drove stakes into the river to subdue the god, but the stakes all shot right back up. Cao Biền realized he was outmatched, so he built a temple for the deity, and then raised Đại La citadel. Because the citadel ran along Long Đỗ's river, it was also called Long Biên, or the Dragon Border.
The citadel following the Tô Lịch River, as seen in the Atlas of Hồng Đức (1490).
When was Long Biên raised?
Neither tall nor short.
Beautiful on the outskirts.
Strong water flows below.
I read that poem a while ago. Only now did I understand the mighty flow was Tô Lịch River, though that section was filled in a long time ago. But people can still feel the "neither short nor tall" height these days. Using a couple of old maps, Hải showed us how to re-trace the ancient citadel walls. I was surprised to see how big it must have been when drawing lines across Yên Phụ, Hoàng Hoa Thám, Bưởi, Đê La Thành — all the streets that you must go uphill to reach.
Tracing with citadel wall and the past river flow based on an old map.
The river's legend continued once Vietnam escaped northern domination. In 1010, King Lý Thái Tổ moved the court to Thăng Long. The king wanted to fortify the citadel, but the walls kept collapsing. The king ordered people to pray to Long Đỗ, upon which they witnessed a white horse walking out from the temple. The king followed the horse's footsteps to build the wall, and it became sturdy. And thus the king renamed the temple Bạch Mã, or White Horse Temple, the Eastern Sentry of Hanoi. He also declared Long Đỗ to be Thành Hoàng of Thăng Long — the tutelary deity of this land.
A map of Hanoi in 1873.
With the blessing of Long Đỗ, Thăng Long flourished. Goods and merchandise from the north flowed down the Red River, and Tô Lịch River became an important urban trading route. Hải said that there were many markets along the river. "At the confluence, there was chợ Gạo, then chợ Bạch Mã, chợ Cầu Đông, chợ Bưởi, chợ Cầu Giấy, chợ Ngọc Hà, chợ Dừa…" The Old Quarter back then was called Kẻ Chợ, or the Market People. And it was so prosperous that there was a saying: "Giàu thú quê không bằng ngồi lê Kẻ Chợ," or "being rich in the countryside is no match for being a beggar in Kẻ Chợ."
Chợ Cầu Đông Street, named after a bridge market lying across the river on the eastern side of the citadel.
But then a day came when human weapons eclipsed even the gods. In 1882, the French fully colonized Vietnam and turned Hanoi into the capital of Indochina. During their rule, the French dismantled the Thăng Long Citadel to build bridges, roads, and an underground sewage system.
Hải said: "Tô Lịch river was once an important trade route, a physical representation of the god. But now, after the French came and applied their urban planning, the river became a culvert."
Hàng Đậu Water Tower, the harbinger of the era when Tô Lịch becomes a sewer instead of a major waterway.
And once the underground sewer opened, a particular species flourished: the rat. They spread the Black Plague all over the city, forcing the French to try to kill them. They hired Vietnamese to kill the rats, requesting catchers to turn in rat tails as proof. Each tail was worth four Indochinese piastres.
"With such a good price," Hải continued, "locals began to catch rats, cut the tails off, then release them so they can keep breeding. Then rat farms emerged around the city, as well as a network to deliver rats here from the countryside."
One day, a French official saw a tail-less rat running on the street. From then on, rat hunters had to turn in a whole rat. But business continued to boom until the price was cut so low — from four piastres for one rat to one piastre for five rats — that nobody bothered killing rats anymore. The French also shifted their plague-controlling efforts to medical measures rather than eliminating the species.
Thăng Long's Northern Gate on Phan Đình Phùng Street.
Hải said the rat story was just one example of how people live with the world around them. From a life in harmony with nature to one of management, exploitation, and discard. Tô Lịch has remained a sewage channel to this day.
We ended our tour at the Northern Gate, the last remnant of the old citadel. When they ordered its demolition, the French kept the gate because it contained the imprinted cannonball holes making the day the citadel fell. As I stood there, looking at the heavy traffic on Phan Đình Phùng, it was hard to imagine that Tô Lịch river used to run through here. Suddenly I felt incredibly sad, as if the city had lost its roots.
Phan Đình Phùng Street today.
One morning after the trip with Hải, as I was lighting an incense stick on the altar, I thought of the god Long Đỗ. Instead of praying to my ancestor as usual, I said gratitude to the god for protecting this city, and asked that he keep looking out for my family, my friends, and all the souls who lived here. The name Tô Lịch for me had transformed from something filthy to something sacred. I heard there had been talks recently about restoring the river to its past glory. Hopefully, one day it will regain its place as the life force of Hanoi.

Astonishing facts for 2021 explain to the tale. U.S. start-ups elevated $330 billion, almost double 2020's record haul of $167 billion, in accordance to PitchBook, which tracks private financing. Additional tech get started-ups crossed the $1 billion valuation threshold than in the past five decades mixed. The median amount of income elevated for incredibly youthful commence-ups having on their to start with important round of funding grew 30 per cent, according to Crunchbase. And the value of begin-up exits — a sale or public providing — spiked to $774 billion, just about tripling the prior year's returns, according to PitchBook.
The huge-cash headlines have carried into this yr. Around a handful of times this month, 3 non-public commence-ups hit eye-popping valuations: Miro, a electronic whiteboard organization, was valued at $17.75 billion Checkout.com, a payments company, was valued at $40 billion and OpenSea, a 90-particular person begin-up that lets folks get and market nonfungible tokens, recognised as NFTs, was valued at $13.3 billion.
Buyers announced massive hauls, also. Andreessen Horowitz, a undertaking funds company, stated it experienced raised $9 billion in new resources. Khosla Ventures and Kleiner Perkins, two other venture firms, just about every raised almost $2 billion.
The good occasions have been so superior that warnings of a pullback inevitably bubble up. Growing fascination fees, predicted later this calendar year, and uncertainty about the Omicron variant of the coronavirus have deflated tech inventory prices. Shares of start off-ups that went general public through particular objective acquisition automobiles past year have slumped. Just one of the first start-up preliminary public offerings anticipated this year was postponed by Justworks, a service provider of human sources application, which cited current market disorders. The cost of Bitcoin has sunk virtually 40 p.c since its peak in November.
But start out-up traders reported that experienced not however affected funding for non-public corporations. "I really don't know if I have at any time noticed a more aggressive market," said Ambar Bhattacharyya, an trader at Maverick Ventures.
Even if things sluggish down momentarily, investors reported, the large picture appears to be the exact.

Succeeding as a contestant on "Jeopardy!" demands a breadth of understanding that spans from historic historical past to the newest pop tradition. Just one may possibly then feel that the greatest contestants would be these who have researched a broad assortment of subjects, masters of none whose college many years had been defined by a seize bag of liberal arts classes.
There have undoubtedly been countless "Jeopardy!" champions with liberal arts levels (Brad Rutter, Julia Collins and Matt Jackson arrive to brain), but it turns out that many of the show's winningest champions, which include current champ Amy Schneider of Oakland, weren't amassing abstruse elective credits in college but relatively finding out a matter that rarely comes into enjoy when standing on phase: computer system science.
In addition to Schneider (who explained to SFGATE in November that she'd just switched again from a managerial place to composing code), the record of CS champions is prolonged and distinguished.
Matt Amodio, who held the second-longest successful streak until finally Schneider surpassed him Monday evening, is pursuing a Ph.D. in computer science from Yale College. Andrew He, a computer software engineer from San Francisco, won 5 straight game titles in November of 2021. Roger Craig, who held the best solitary-day winnings for just about 10 many years, has a Ph.D. in comp sci from University of Delaware. The man or woman who broke Craig's report, James Holzhauer, didn't examine CS, but his mathematics diploma is near plenty of to point out.

Like millions of other internet consumers in Europe, when Alexandra Geese, a German member of the European Parliament (MEP), wants to read through a thing on the internet, she first has to open and scroll as a result of many options to refuse to share her facts with third-get together advertisers. Europe's landmark privacy regulation, the Normal Data Defense Regulation (GDPR), means internet sites have to talk to people for consent to be tracked on the internet. But several firms make refusing consent a lot tougher than granting it, indicating Geese's research to opt out can get additional time than she supposed to invest on a web-site. "The challenge with the current GDPR is that it's not currently being enforced effectively and for that reason individuals don't have a real choice," she suggests.
Geese is amongst the European lawmakers presently drafting some of the world's strictest rules in opposition to engineering firms in an try to fix the opt-out purpose of the world-wide-web.
As MEPs pondered how to give that actual choice to European world wide web users in January, an present process designed by Apple was introduced as a possible template for reshaping the world-wide-web. In 2021, the tech huge introduced a new privateness pop-up that it mentioned would give end users a authentic selection about irrespective of whether they want to be tracked. The feature presents Iphone consumers two extremely easy selections when they down load new apps—"Ask App Not To Track" or "Allow." Figures that showed up to 98 p.c of Apple iphone users took this chance to choose out were taken as proof by some MEPs that men and women would pick to defend their privacy if they had the opportunity. "I actually believe that privateness shouldn't only be an solution for persons who can find the money for top quality equipment or quality Apple merchandise," claims German MEP Tiemo Wölken, from the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats.

In 1992, the Berkeley Packet Filter (BPF) was launched in Unix circles as a new, enhanced community packet filter. Pleasant, but not that huge a deal. Then, in 2014, it was altered and brought into the Linux kernel as extended BPF (eBPF). Once again, that was alright. Just alright. Quickly thereafter however, builders started off applying it to run consumer-place code within a virtual device (VM) on the Linux kernel. And, then it was a enormous offer. As Netflix computer system efficiency pro Brendan Gregg mentioned, with eBPF, "superpowers have ultimately appear to Linux."
What superpowers? eBPF presents you the electricity to run applications in the Linux kernel without having altering the kernel resource code or introducing added modules. In influence, it acts as a light-weight (VM) inside the Linux kernel space. There, applications that can run in eBPF run significantly speedier, even though having gain of kernel features unavailable to other higher-amount Linux packages.
Of class, running applications that near to the kernel even with eBPF isn't really uncomplicated. That is wherever Solo.io, an application networking company, comes in with its new open up-supply challenge, BumbleBee. BumbleBee simplifies building, packaging, and distributing eBPF tools by instantly generating boilerplate user-place code for creating eBPF resources.
If that seems a little bit like Docker, you're right it does. That is by design. BumbleBee's code also enables you to plug its plans into other Open up Container Initiative (OCI) graphic workflows for publishing and distribution. Does this mean you could incorporate eBPF courses into a Steady Integration/Continual Advancement (CI/CD) workflow? Certainly, it does.
Typically eBPF is applied as a safe way to greatly enhance the kernel with observability, networking, and protection systems. These courses run in response to activities this kind of as community packets arriving. Ordinarily, eBPF plans are written in a higher-degree language, these types of as C, and then Just in Time (JIT) compiled into x86 assembly for maximum overall performance and safety.
The eBPF architecture expects eBPF courses to be loaded as bytecode, and the kernel has info constructions and formats that

Work begins on £15 million project to improve water quality in River Kelvin
The project will span eleven sites along the Kelvin Walkway from the bandstand in Kelvingrove Park to the Botanic Gardens
Glasgow Live
Scottish Water's multi-million pound investment project in Glasgow's West End to help improve the environment and water quality in the River Kelvin is under way.
The project involves the installation of new and improved waste water infrastructure, including underground Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) chambers and upgraded pipework.
This new infrastructure will help prevent items which are wrongly flushed down the toilet – items like rags, baby wipes, plastic cotton buds - from overflowing into the River Kelvin during severe storm events and reduce the frequency and volume of waste water spillages in storm conditions.
Preparatory work for the £15 million project which will span eleven sites along the Kelvin Walkway from the bandstand in Kelvingrove Park to the Botanic Gardens begins today.

Here's the Hollywood blockbuster that could be filmed by the River Clyde in Glasgow
A small number of trees will be removed to allow access for the construction of the new infrastructure, but replanting will take place in conjunction with Glasgow City Council.
An archaeological dig will also be carried out as part of the preparatory works.
Expected to begin mid-March, the dig will take place at the site of the former North Woodside Flint Mill and will ensure that anything of historical importance on this heritage site is protected and preserved.
Ruaridh MacGregor, Scottish Water's corporate affairs manager, said: "All of this preparatory work is vital for the success of this project, which will ultimately improve a really important environmental and recreational space in the heart of the West End".
"We know that Kelvingrove Park and the Kelvin Walkway are very popular places for people to spend their free time and we want to reassure everyone that we'll do all we can to keep any disruption to a minimum."
Paul Milligan, aBV communication manager, added: "I would really like to thank all of the local community groups and representatives for the local area who have given us their time and attention during the preparation stage for this phase of the project. It really has been invaluable in helping to inform our plans, particularly the best locations for our infrastructure."
New 300-bed hotel planned for Glasgow city centre
Sally Johnston is chair of Friends of the River Kelvin (FORK), a long-established volunteer conservation group that cares for the river.
She said: "Through the consultation that we've had with Scottish Water, we realise that the ultimate aim is that the river quality will be improved. We're supportive of the work."
The first phase of construction will commence in late February at the bandstand with the majority of the construction phase commencing in early summer 2019. A section of the footpath near to the bandstand will be closed for health and safety reasons during those works; however, the Kelvin Walkway will remain open throughout this project.
These works are a continuation of earlier construction which took place on the banks of the River Kelvin in the grounds of Hillhead Primary School during last year's summer school holidays.

What Song Causes Garth Brooks & Trisha Yearwood to Fight?
By Jen Swirsky
Uh oh! It looks like there may be a touchy topic when it comes to the oh-so-obviously in love Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood. The two admitted during a South Florida press conference that they occasionally strap on their boxing gloves when offering one another musical advice, but they told me privately that there is one particular song that causes a bit of actual resentment.
"You didn't talk 'Tacoma' with her, did you?", Garth Brooks asked me with a look of genuine concern on his face when I shared with him my love of the song. He then whispered, "She gets pissed about that song. She wants that song so bad." These statements were all followed with a snarky cackle that could only be described as the laugh of a contest winner.
I wouldn't have served our NashvilleGab readers a tasty dish if I didn't then turn the tables and drop the fighting word "Tacoma" to Trisha, as well. With a look of slight defeat (after heartily laughing about the subject), Trisha explained, "I heard that song and I wanted to record it myself, and so it's a sore spot with me because he, he took it and recorded it, and I think his version's great, but I'm going to record it one day."
Two superstar versions of the Caitlyn Smith and Bob DiPiero-penned tune? Yes please! I mean, what country music fan in his/her right mind would turn that down?!

Courtney Marie Andrews calls her 2016 album, Honest Life, a "quiet, introspective songwriter record." Nonetheless, it made a big splash, racking up glowing reviews, landing in Rolling Stone's list of that year's best country albums and raising the Seattle-based troubadour's profile around the world.
When it came time to make a follow-up, Andrews decided to stretch a bit. The result is May Your Kindness Remain, a gorgeous collection of ten tracks that features fuller arrangements and more roots-rock 'n' soul to go with Andrews' marvelous voice, mellow twang and melancholy story-songs.
This time, those stories are more outward-looking, Andrews said, with a special focus on regular folks struggling to cope with common demons and unattainable standards of success. It's a story Andrews—who left her Arizona home at age 16—knows all too well.
Andrews made May Your Kindness Remain in a house overlooking Los Angeles, where recording felt "intuitive" and the music ebbed and flowed with the rhythms of Earth.

The impossible dream?
Particularly galling to the Israeli government is the belated discovery that "security fences," no matter how robust, can be flown over by hundreds of homemade Qassam rockets and tunneled under by Palestinian fighters to kidnap an Israeli soldier on the other side.
Snaking in and out of Palestinian territory to protect Israeli settlements, the $.2.5 billion, 456-mile barrier is in some parts twice as high (8 meters) and twice as wide (104 meters) as the defunct Berlin Wall that divided East and West Berlin. The approaches on the Palestinian side are, first, fine sand to make footprints visible and then razor barbed wire. High voltage circuits run through the so-called "smart fences" that line the perimeter of the barrier. And between the fence and the wall is a trench, 2 meters deep, studded with sharp metal spikes.
At certain intervals, there are 10-meter-high steel poles that hold up stadium-bright lights and surveillance cameras. But the costly ditch-fence-wall could not protect Cpl. Gilad Shalit who was dragged into a tunnel under the Israel-Gaza border — and held for ransom of 1,500 Palestinian prisoners out of 8,503 now held in Israel. A Palestinian rocket also hit a school parking lot in the center of Israel's southern coastal city of Ashkelon (population 110,000), 7 miles north of Gaza.
The Israeli reaction demonstrated yet again that the very notion of an independent "viable and contiguous" Palestinian state was an oubliette-in-the-air. Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, approving each step proposed by the army and Shin Bet, reacted as if cleaning up a tough neighborhood in his own city. But it had little to do with freeing a 19-year-old tank gunner doing his three years of compulsory military service.
Israeli fighter bombers, gunships, gunboats and artillery pounded Gaza as hundreds of tanks took up positions in the south, west and north of the miserable coastal strip Israel evacuated last September. By week's end, Israeli Defense Forces pushed back in to some of Gaza's abandoned Israeli settlements, then moved tanks into densely populated Arab towns whence rockets had been fired into Israel. Palestinian militia counterattacked with rocket-propelled grenades and hundreds of automatic weapons but only killed one Israeli soldier before losing a few score dead and wounded. Wounded women and children also crowded hospital corridors. The IDF had been ordered to establish a buffer zone inside Gaza to a depth of 7 miles, the range of Palestinian rockets that hit Ashkelon.
The bomb that knocked out Gaza's principal power station plunged half of Gaza's 1.3 million into darkness with no potable water or ventilation in the 105-degree daytime heat. It also stopped electric water pumps and sewage disposal systems. Taken prisoner from their homes at night were 64 elected Hamas parliamentarians, including eight Cabinet ministers.
The prime minister's office and the Interior Ministry took direct hits, as did an empty building on the Islamic University campus. Breaking the sound barrier over President Bashir Assad's palace in Damascus was designed as a warning to Syria to quit hosting Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal.
If Cpl. Shalit is killed, warned Israeli Interior Minister Roni Bar-On, "it's safe to say the sky will fall on them… in ways the Palestinians haven't seen before." Compared unfavorably, even in the Israeli media, were Palestinian fighters taking an Israeli soldier prisoner while the Israeli army retaliated by kidnapping scores of civilian prisoners. Clearly Israel had a much larger agenda than getting Cpl. Shalit back unscathed. Destroy the Hamas government and postpone sine die a Palestinian state in the West Bank.
Unmentioned in the brouhaha was the proximate cause of the Shalit incident. Two weeks before, Israel successfully targeted a ranking Hamas official for assassination. Jamal Abu Samhadana, wanted on both the U.S. and Israel's terrorist lists, recently joined the Hamas Interior Ministry to command Gaza police forces.
Following Hamas' victory in free and fair elections last January, Israel's "Hamas Team" in Jerusalem met at the highest level to decide how Israel should respond. Everyone agreed on the need to impose an economic siege on the Palestinian Authority. The prime minister's principal adviser Dov Weissglas elicited chuckles all around when he said, "It's like an appointment with a dietician. The Palestinians will get a lot thinner, but won't die."
It was hard then, even harder today, to imagine worse conditions for Gaza's hapless population with jobless rates up to 40 percent. And harder still to imagine an independent Palestinian state as far as anyone can read Mideast tea leaves. What Mr. Olmert calls "convergence," and President Bush prefers to call "realignment," is a plan to squeeze a Palestinian state between the new barrier and an Israeli security zone along the Jordan River. That, too, was now a bridge too far. Some 60,000 Jewish settlers, confident they are not about to be evacuated, are building new security roads between the 60-odd settlements east of the barrier that are supposed to be dismantled under Mr. Olmert's plan.
The Shalit abduction took place, as Hamas and Fatah, the latter defeated in the elections, were crabwalking toward an unspoken tacit acceptance of Israel's right to exist — but still far short of the international community's insistence that Hamas recognize Israel with no ifs or buts.
As a first step, Hamas and Fatah seemed to have accepted the principle of a national unity government. The latest crisis in Palestinian-Israeli relations is the umpteenth step away from the ever-elusive peace process. A majority of Israelis in recent polls now oppose any kind of West Bank evacuation. And the U.S., far too busy with North Korea and Iran, looked the other way.

What's missing from Maslow's theory?
I would further break down self-esteem into two categories, but my interpretation would first include how we feel and view ourselves and the other as the desire for the recognition of our strengths. However, the first is NOT a motivation. We are motivated to want prestige, fame, and acknowledgement, but self-esteem has never been a motivation for people. People do not consciously know that they want to see themselves in a positive light, nor do they actively try to achieve this goal. As children, we may or may not be encouraged to develop a sense of who we are, but many people vary in the degree of seeing how important self-esteem is.
First off, what is self-esteem? How is it different from self-respect? Is there a difference? Yes. Some people respect themselves highly and know they would never let someone else disparage them, but if they have low self-esteem, they may still believe it. The two can exist independent of each other, however, those who have high self-esteem usually respect themselves as well and will usually also have high self-respect, but those who have low self-esteem can still respect their selves outside of who they are, which is also correlates to high self-respect. Whereas self-respect plays to how a person is treated by others, self-esteem plays to how a person treats themselves based on how they feel about themselves. This is why it may be confusing at times when you confuse the two and mistake them for one another.
Some children are encouraged to enjoy who they are and they flourish. Some may be discouraged, but more often than not, the majority are ambivalent, not because parents do not care, but because they don't know how to encourage a reticent child. As such, this insular world becomes even more insular as they internalize feelings and don't understand the importance of self-esteem. Because it is not a motivation, they do not build who they are. They are still motivated to seek friends and love interests, but if they are not fulfilled internally by themselves, their relationships can be rocky because of this. Many times, we are searching for a sense of ourselves throughout our journey and take on relationships we can't comprehend in the search for what we want. If we are not sure in who we are, we will be as equally unsure in who we want as a partner, causing rifts.
Some who are socially-withdrawn feel no need to develop their self-esteem. They may regard themselves highly, but do not feel the need to elevate how they feel about themselves, thus they do not feel satisfied in this area and will not pursue other relationships or achievements because they feel as if they are not good enough. They come up with reasons for this such as they despise human connections and they feel they are wasting their time and energy on useless things. In actuality, humans crave relationships because they will undoubtedly feel lonely at some point despite their refusals. Having self-esteem encourages these individuals to reach out to others because they feel they deserve relationships.
Why is it important? It's important because it serves as the basis of who we are. When we have incredibly low self-esteem, we tend to accept less and feel fearful of other's motivations and change in itself. We are unsure of what the future will bring. When we have high self-esteem, we welcome change and become more adaptable. We have a more positive outlook on life and what comes our way. Most importantly, we care about ourselves and are more in tune with who we are and what we want if we are honest with ourselves. Ultimately, high self-esteem allows us to be the truest form of who we are and having pride in ourselves internally.
An example would be if a young adult asks someone out and gets rejected. This is not a poor decision, but it retains a negative worth to them. As such, they may let this memory eschew them and steer other decisions in their live. We can tell them that at least they were brave enough to ask. Some people go their whole lives without knowing a simple question, and they did ask. The answer was no, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have meaning. It means they were brave. It means they have the ability to interact with others. It means they have learned something. When they don't look upon the decision as shameful and fearful, they will see the pride of it and see pride in themselves. This allows for them to see their decisions as positive memories that have enabled them to grow.
Maslow's heirachy did not state that this was a strict hierarchy where each lower need had to be met before moving on to the next, but it was predicated on the belief that people are motivated to want self-esteem. If people were motivated on this belief and chose to fulfill this need, they would definitely be able move on, but it is not a motivation. Thus, some people who did not already possess high self-esteem would not be able to reach self-actualization. The need for recognition and meaningful relationships would still exist, but these needs would not be fully realized if the person could not realize their own self worth. What this results in is people searching for love, but either treat themselves or their partner badly because they feel they are not worthy. Or they fail to advance at work because they fear change and authority.
How do we cultivate self-esteem? Is it enough to just encourage children and tell them they are good? No, because a parent can do this and a child can still have low self-esteem, which can be quite maddening for the parent. The trick is teach them how to view their decisions and discuss them. If it is a good decision, praise them for it and discuss how it affects those around them. This allows for them to see how their actions affect not only them but those around them. If they made a poor decision, we should talk about what went wrong, why it went wrong and how they felt about it. Let them know the positives of a poor decision. They at least have learned something from it. They are wiser and richer for knowing it now. The poor decisions are where we can cultivate the most self-esteem, which sounds counter-intuitive, but is not. When we reinforce that poor decisions are part of the learning process, they see failure as necessary and not shameful. When the shame is removed, they are able to see the nugget of good in the poor decision and learn from it.


Nani's "Jersey" has generated lot of interest ever since its first look was released. The movie's trailer received unanimous positive response further spiking up expectations. Has the movie lived up to expectations?
Arjun (Nani) quits cricket at the age of 26 though he scores many centuries and wins matches. He tells wife Sarah (Shraddha Srinath) that he wants to do regular job and joins as a manager in FCI. However, he loses this job on wrong charges and he's struggling to make ends meet though his wife works in a hotel.
Set in 1996, the story then narrates how Arjun, now 36-year-old wants to play for Ranji matches again, to fulfil his young son's wish.
Will he succeed at this age that normally is considered retirement stage in professional sports? What is the real secret behind Arjun quitting from the game at 26?
Nani, without a doubt, has given his best performance. Matured acting this is. The internal turmoil of a failed cricketer, the helplessness of a penniless father, and the struggle with all the problems… Nani has portrayed them with perfection. He is also quite believable in the jersey of a cricketer. He has carried the mood from start to finish.
Besides cricket and sentiments, this is also performances driven movie and Nani leads from the front.
Shraddha Srinath as his wife has also given competent performance. Hers is not a glamorous role. She has pulled it off well.
Sathya Raj as Nani's coach is excellent. After Nani, Sathya Raj gets more role. The kid Ronit is cute and gives touching expressions. Sampath as coach is neat.
Anirudh Ravichander's tunes are not so catchy but his work in the BG department is huge asset. Cinematography by Shanu is top-class. He has filmed cricket matches in a realistic way.
Art work and production values are superb. Dialogues are fantastic. Screenplay writing is excellent.
Very rarely we get to see movies based on cricket in Tollywood. "Jersey" is totally different in terms of plot, genre and narration. This is not a regular Tollywood movie.
Even though it touches on the aspects of husband-wife differences, father-son sentiment, this is more about making your dreams come true overcoming all obstacles.
As a journalist writes a book on Arjun's life (played by Nani), it stresses the point that "it's never too late to dream".
36-year-old Arjun aiming to get a place in the national team is the basic point. But director Gowtam Tinnanuri has layered many elements to tell it in a compelling manner. To hold the sports drama till the end, one needs emotional pitch. This is where Gowtam has succeeded.
Why does Arjun dream to join the cricket team at the age of 36 after quitting at 26 voluntarily? Because he wants to remain as a hero in son's eyes forever. This point is the core element of "Jersey" and this has given the required emotional touch to the sports drama.
Director Gowtam Tinnanuri has begun the movie by going back and forth from 1986 to 1996, from revealing his current life of wife and kid and his early romance with his future wife.
After establishing these, he comes to the main point, his son asking for an Indian Cricket team's Jersey and Arjun aiming for it and from here, the director narrates the story in a straight forward manner. He doesn't forcibly include any twists.
Everything happens as one can easily guess, still it is engaging enough, and it unfolds without pretence. And he brings a good twist in end that makes the film complete.
It is quite interesting from start to finish. The first half builds on characters and their problems and the second half goes on emotional pitch.
The director has also dealt the wife-husband's gap in a matured way. The father-son sequences are endearing. The Railway station scene is a wonderful moment.
Nani's performance is brilliant that make the movie even more engaging.
On the downside, the film runs on slow pace and has taken plenty of time to come to the main point. Also the cricket matches become repetitive after a time. The film needs trimming.
All in all, "Jersey" is an inspirational sports movie that tells the triumph of the common man and teaches you to never give up. Aided by natural performance of Nani and heart-warming moments, "Jersey" is a winner. This will appeal to audiences who like classy movies.

Former Miss Hitler beauty pageant contestant
Alice Cutter joked about gassing Jews
Alice Cutter, 23, joked about gassing Jews and claimed she was pestered into entering the sick beauty pageant under the name Miss Buchenwald - a reference to the Second World War death camp - during a lengthy retrial.
Her ex-partner Mark Jones, 25, a former member of the BNP's youth wing who used the alias "GrandaddyTerror" was also convicted of being a member, after being described by prosecutors as a "leader and strategist".
Cutter denied being a part of the group, which was labelled "a racist, anti-Semitic and homophobic organisation" by then home secretary Amber Rudd when it was banned in December, 2016.

Jurors heard how Cutter exchanged hundreds of messages, many racist and anti-Semitic, and was still meeting other members months after the ban.
Prosecutors said Cutter, who joked about gassing synagogues and using a Jew's head as a football, had been a "central spoke" in the organisation and entered the pageant to drive recruitment.
She claimed never to have considered herself a member, even before the ban, despite attending meetings with group leaders and posing for a Nazi-style salute on the steps of Leeds Town Hall in 2016.
Cutter also attended a demo in York in May 2016.
She initially denied attending until footage emerged showing her standing with other masked NA members, giving the Nazi salute behind a banner that read "Hitler Was Right".
In one exchange with another National Action member on the day after MP Jo Cox was murdered, referencing the politician, she said: "Rot in hell, bitch."
During his evidence, he told jurors of his "feelings of admiration" for Hitler, while the court heard he had a special wedding edition of Mein Kampf.
Jones, who posted messages on Telegram as "GrandaddyTerror", was National Action's London regional organiser and a key designer of the group's propaganda artwork.

He accepted posing for a photograph of him making a Nazi-style salute in Buchenwald's execution room while holding a National Action flag, on a trip to Germany in 2016.
Jones also took a selfie inside the room holding the concentration camp's ovens, where the remains of thousands of murdered Jews were incinerated.
Jones and Cutter, of Sowerby Bridge, near Halifax, Yorkshire, described themselves in court as national socialists, but denied any wrong-doing.
A jury at Birmingham Crown Court found both guilty following a 10-week retrial after less than nine hours of deliberations.
They embraced in the dock before being taken down to the cells.
Garry Jack, 24, and Connor Scothern, 19, of Nottingham were convicted of the same offence
Jack denied taking a photograph found on his phone of graffiti reading "gas the Jews", despite repeatedly using anti-Semitic slurs in messages with other members.
The self-confessed Nazi told jurors he was not a racist, despite sending a message saying "Handsworth - first area in Birmingham that needs ethnic cleansing", claiming the remark had been "tongue in cheek".
In a message to his then girlfriend, littered with racist language, he talked of threatening to have "kerb-stomped" a black person and, on another occasion, called an Asian male a "f***ing rat".
Addressing the four, Judge Paul Farrer QC, said: "You have all been convicted of a serious terrorist offence.
"You cannot be sentenced today.
"A date will be be fixed in due course."

Igor Wladimirowitsch Girsanow (russisch Игорь Владимирович Гирсанов; in anderer Transliteration auch Girsanov; * 10. September 1934 in Türkistan; † 16. März 1967 im Sajangebirge) war ein sowjetischer Mathematiker.

Leben und Werk
Girsanow wurde am 10. September 1934 in Türkistan geboren, 1950 siedelte seine Familie nach Moskau über. Schon während der Schulzeit gehörte er dem Mathematik-Zirkel der MGU (Lomonossow-Universität Moskau) an und war mehrfach Sieger der Moskauer mathematischen Olympiade. Von 1952 bis 1960 war er Student, dann Doktorand der mechanisch-mathematischen Fakultät der MGU. Anschließend arbeitete er dort als Assistent, später als Dozent. Seit 1965 leitete er die Laboratoriumsabteilung für wahrscheinlichkeitstheoretische und statistische Methoden an der MGU. Er verstarb auf tragische Weise am 16. März 1967 während eines touristischen Ausflugs im Sajangebirge.

Er ist Autor von Abhandlungen über die Theorie der Markow-Prozesse und gesteuerte Zufallsprozesse in der mathematischen Chemie, befasste sich auch mit Methoden der mathematischen Ökonomie und ist in der Finanzmathematik für den Satz von Girsanow bekannt.

Lisa Liljeberg| Dare Dreamers
Gerdi with Lisa Liljeberg on living a non-conventional life
Although she was born in the United States, Lisa considers herself a "citizen of the World." She has spent more than 35 years living outside the continental US. She's lived in 5 countries, speaks 5 languages and believes that if everyone spent 6 months living in another country, we would be a lot closer to world peace.
Her first "real" job was as a Flight Attendant for Lufthansa, which started her life-long love of travel. She has also worked as a building contractor (yes, building houses with her own hands!), an Interior Designer, a waitress (many, many times!), bartender, fitness trainer, massage therapist and for the last 14 years, she has been guiding active vacations literally all over the planet.
At age 57, she had her second mid-life crisis and went back to school for the second time, to study life coaching.
So, when she says, "It's time to stop daydreaming and start DARE-dreaming, she knows what she's talking about!"
She is a life coach, teacher, mentor, partner and soon-to-be-friend, who fiercely believes that you can create the life of your dreams…a life so fulfilling, you will never want to retire!
She believes everything starts with a dream…everything! She's also a firm believer in real systems and real plans to make things happen!
Her mission: For you to "Be a Dare-dreamer…do more than make a living. Make a difference!"
Her motto: Enlighten up! Don't take yourself so seriously…because life is meant to be fun!
Lisa offers one-on-one coaching, a home-study program, and is available to speak at your event.

This little piece will allow you to drill three 1/2" holes in your stock transmission mount crossmember, and bolt on an adapter to use your stock transmission mount itself. Very cool piece, very simple install. Drill with a half inch bit, and a couple wrenches, and an hour if you are slow! They can also be welded on if that's your preference!
This is basically an adapter that we make in-house, allowing the use of your pre-existing TF727 automatic or T-19 manual transmission's actual rubber/polyurethane mounting pads and transmission crossmember, but placing this adapter between those components and allowing them to be bolted to the Advance Adapters brand adapter between the GM automatic and a Jeep Dana 300 transfer case. If you are using anything besides this Advance Adapter, I cannot say that this mount will work for sure. I have never tested it with a GM transfer case!
We have the option for you to purchase the polyurethane mounting pads and hardware kit along with the mount adapter. Please choose if you would like us to add the poly pads or not!
More power, better mileage, EFI, Overdrive, and more!
All you need to fuel the LS fire!

Hong Kong's First
"History is mostly guessing, the rest is prejudice.", Will and Ariel Durant.
Ella Zoyara (b.1840-d.1879) was the star trick-rider of the Great World Circus, the first circus to ever come to town in Hong Kong. Six shows were given by the circus from March 27, 1868 before it left for its next destination - Manila. Unbeknown to the circus-goers in Hong Kong, the St. Louis born Zoyara was in fact a man named Omar Kingsley and that he was even married - to a woman named Sallie Stickney. Zoyara's "true" gender was discovered in Manila and as a result both she (he) and the circus master Adolf Gonsalez were thrown into jail.
This is one of the over 600 fun facts about Hong Kong, as far as the first of its kind events go, that are included in the Welcome page under Who's Who and What's What.

We understand the design process can be confusing. Believe us, we get it! Sometimes we're as confused about your business as you are about ours. We find the best way to get a clear view is to ask a lot of questions. So we've tried to take the hassle out of it for you and provide you with some answers and if your question isn't here feel free to give us a call.
What is a graphic designer...?
A graphic designer can make your brand stand out in a crowded market, open your product or services up to entirely new audiences, make it appear more professional and give it personality.
... and why should I use one?
We know the best approaches to communicate your products and services to your customers. We listen to your preferences and research what your competition does – this combination allows us to come up with creative solutions to get your message across.
You have enough on your plate already. Do you really want to spend time trying to come up with designs for your logo, brochures or website? Good design is not something you stumble upon. It's a combination of skills that require a specialist education and a lot of practice, so leave it to the professionals and concentrate on what you're good at – running your business!
Which file types work in the best situations? Where's the best place locally to get business cards printed and how much do you need to spend to get decent quality? As experienced graphic design professionals we have the answers to these questions and more.
A brand is how your customers perceive you. From the way you answer the phones, all the way down to how your brand looks.
Your logo, the layout of your website and marketing materials, your chosen font, and the colours you use are what gives your company character.
Having a distinct brand is what is going to raise your business above your competition. A strong brand is memorable, building trust and encouraging positive referrals from customers. A weak brand is instantly forgettable.
An inconsistent design makes the customer think that you provide an inconsistent service – a professional graphic designer has the ability to ensure that your visual branding is consistent across all channels.
Many clients have an idea of what they want their business materials to look like, but have no way to convey them. A designer will be able to give life to your ideas, ensuring that the end results look the way you want, helping you achieve the goals you set out for your business.
Good design inspires people. If all of your brand collateral is created by a professional, your employees will consider themselves to be working for a forward thinking company.
It can be easy to underestimate the power of good web design. It takes just minutes to set up a Facebook page or a Twitter account, and anyone can do it. However, if your only online presence is a free-to-use social media account, potential customers may doubt your trustworthiness as a business. Having a comprehensive and informative website is a great way of quickly establishing confidence among potential customers.
Before trying out a small business, the first place most people go is online. If you do not have an online presence, potential customers will go to your competitors that do. A website will provide your business with a professional image which will inspire confidence. For home-based businesses, this is particularly beneficial since you do not have a shop front to promote your products or services.
If the price still seems off-putting to you, consider how much you are spending on other non-digital channels. Considering the potential market you can reach with a website, compared with the cost of a newspaper ad or printing and delivering leaflets, it is a very cost effective way to promote your business.
A custom-made website for your business is highly personal, and it can easily be updated making it an effective way of letting your customers know about the arrival of new products, upcoming events, special promotions, or any new services you now offer. Unlike print ads which quickly become outdated, your website can provide current news and information.
The joy of having your own website is that your business will constantly be available. A website is available to your customers 24 hours a day. With today's busy lifestyles, this is a great selling point when making a purchase decision.
As a retailer, a website is a great place to sell your products to a wider market; even services can be made available globally.
Why is a good logo essential to my business?
Your logo is everything that your business stands for. Your logo introduces your company, fully describes it, and immediately solidifies it in your audience's memory. It enhances first impressions, raises curiosity, and creates excitement.
A great logo, however, does much more than that. It establishes your brand's identity, generates trust, and sums up all the reasons why your business is better than the rest.
When new business comes your way, first impressions count. Your customers see hundreds of logos a day, and they know a good logo when they see one. If it isn't up to scratch, that potential customer may decide to go elsewhere.
If your business provides a fast, reliable and friendly service, it is the job of your logo to communicate this quickly and effectively. By sending the right message to potential customers, your logo helps them choose you over the competition.
If you want your customers to see you as a professional business, you need a professional image. The starting point is a great logo, supported by a great brand identity.
Differentiating yourself from your competition is critical in winning the battle for customers and your logo should emphasise why you are the better choice. Stand out, be bold and show potential customers that you're better than the others.
Brand recognition is paramount if you want both existing and potential customers to see a logo, colour or both, and instantly think of you and you alone.
When given a choice between your company and an almost identical one up the road, you want your customers and clients to come back to you simply because its you, and you've never let them down before. A great logo will help towards solidifying this loyalty, giving your customers something visual to connect with and hold on to.
We now live in a time where a business exists on multiple platforms. Website, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, blogs, business cards, leaflets, info packs… your business identity is going to be rubber-stamped everywhere. Consistency is absolutely essential, ensuring that your brand is represented correctly everywhere it appears.
What makes Wiley Design different from other design firms?

It's a personal thing and we treat everything as such. No matter what stage of growth you are at we help you to get clear on the story that will attract more customers.
We like to think that our smallness is one of our strengths; we get to know you and your business and treat it as if it were our own.

We'll give you our time and dedication, our care and attention and we will do our best to deliver to the best of our ability.

This week Pete and I discuss the best James Bond look for a wedding, as well as the different trends in wedding attire over time and the horrors that plague both American and British wedding attire.
In anything Bondian Pete talks about his open letter to Bond film producer Michael G. Wilson and I talk about the exciting Orlebar Brown event in New York that revealed the daring and diverse new 007 collection. It's a collection that is sure to please Bond clothing fans of all sorts and one of the most exciting Bond clothing collections ever released.
We also discuss the newly updated Spectre Solden jacket from Royale Filmwear and the latest news from Savile Row.
Stan sent us some listener mail. He asked, "What would be your pick if you could only have ten suits inspired by James Bond, and what colour and or material would they be? Unfortunately we had to cut down our answers to one suit each. If you have a question you'd like answered on the podcast, send us your questions through our listener mail form.
You can download the podcast from iTunes or Stitcher, or you can listen at the top of the page. And while you're at it, please leave us a review on iTunes!
You check read more in-depth notes on this podcast at Pete's site, Human Research. You can also watch Pete and I talk about Bond wedding attire on YouTube below, and please subscribe!
Great detailed points about dinner suits and morning suits, Matt. It seems that no one in the US understands the proper wearing of these, especially a dinner suit. Lazenby's wedding suit is great. I believe it was also called a strolling suit. I think this is a great choice if the wedding is before 6:00 but the festivities continue into the evening.
Lazenby's suit looks fine to me from waist/hip up shots, but I think it looks a little odd and drab with the trousers seeming to match the waistcoat.
A problem I've noticed with morning suits is that they're 'body coats' and supposed to be close fitting and thus best looking on the young or athletic figure. But here's the twist. They're often bought for young sons with room to grow into, because they're not cheap for an item of clothing that's not going to be worn often. But can however, be relied upon not to go out of fashion. Too loose to look good for their sister's wedding, and then too fat to look good in it for their daughter's.
I would pay a LOT of money for a book "Suits of James Bond" compilation (with some light revisions and incorporating any new information learned/discussed in comments).
