How to Cope with Bad Days When You Live with Depression
Medically reviewed by Lori Lawrenz, PsyD — By Stacey L. Nash and Sandra Silva Casabianca — Updated on March 9, 2022
What bad days may feel like
Hopelessness and loneliness
Fatigue, motivation, and aches
Sadness, irritability, and emotional pain
Everyone experiences bad days. If you have depression, those days can seem particularly challenging. But they don't have to be permanent.
Symptoms of depression can take many forms and may manifest in different ways at different times.
Living with depression is more than experiencing sadness. You may also experience a debilitating sense of loneliness, emptiness, and hopelessness for the future.
Some days, you may feel your depression symptoms intensify, and it can be difficult for you to go about your usual routine.
Developing specific coping skills can help you go through these bad days when you have depression, even those that feel the darkest.
Depression around the world
The World Health Organization reports that nearly 5% of adults globally and up to 264 million people worldwide live with depression. In the United States, that number hovers around 7%, according to the National Institute of Mental Health.
Bad days in depression: What do they feel like?
Having a bad day now and then isn't a sign of depression. But when you live with depression, a bad day can mean some of your symptoms intensify, or they impact your routine more than usual.
It's natural to feel discouraged or disheartened when this happens. You may feel like you're taking a step backward or that nothing works for your depression.
Untreated depression could be one reason you may feel your symptoms are intensifying.
If you're treating your depression, other factors can contribute to your bad days. For example, your antidepressants may have stopped working, or you're living with symptoms of other conditions.
In any case, the first step to getting through difficult days may be remembering that they're not permanent. Identifying what works for each symptom when it intensifies can also help.
Sense of hopelessness and loneliness
Depression can sometimes manifest as a feeling of hopelessness. You might have a hard time figuring out "what's the point" in moving on? But this is depression talking to you. This feeling can be managed.
You may also feel lonely, especially on a bad day.
Hopelessness and loneliness may feel like a profound sense of emptiness and lack of purpose.
It's possible to regain purpose when you have depression, though, and you can also manage these symptoms.
Here are some tips:
Try to limit social media
Consider giving social media a break for the day if you're feeling particularly lonely or hopeless.
A 2018 study conducted among 143 undergraduate students at the University of Pennsylvania found that limiting social media to 10 minutes a day per platform significantly reduced symptoms of depression.
It's natural and common to think social media connects you with people. But in some cases, these platforms can intensify a sense of loneliness that makes you compare your life with other people's. Social media use has been linked to symptoms of depression and anxiety.
Spending more time with loved ones can help
If you're having a bad day and you live with depression, you may not find pleasure in some of the activities you typically enjoy.
But not engaging in these activities may contribute to a vicious cycle where you feel lonely and hopeless because you don't share moments with others or do the things you like.
Consider connecting with a trusted friend or relative, particularly during bad days and when you feel lonely.
If stepping out to a public place or joining a social gathering feels overwhelming, try to start with a video call. You may then move to a cup of coffee at home or a walk around the neighborhood.
Any step helps, and you might find that connecting with those who care about you helps you get through a bad depression day.
Consider asking for help
Living with depression sometimes feels like there's no point in trying. These negative thoughts can impact the way you feel and behave.
Negative thoughts are like filters, though. They can tell you things about your reality that may not always be based on evidence.
For example, you may feel others aren't there to support you. This could magnify your sense of loneliness and lead you to socially withdraw. Isolation can, in turn, make you feel even lonelier.
If you're having these thoughts or feel you're having a bad day, try to find evidence around you that you're cared for.
People may not always understand what it's like living with depression or how you feel. Consider letting them know and asking for help. This likely provides you with evidence that other people are there to support you.
Searching for local support groups may also help you receive the help you need.
Fatigue, lack of motivation, and body aches
Depression symptoms can include low energy, difficulty focusing on tasks, exhaustion, and aches and pains.
During a bad day, you may feel more tired than usual, have neck and back pain, or have a hard time stepping out of bed.
There are a few ways to manage these symptoms.
Try to stay physically active
Movement and exercise may be the last things on your mind when you live with depression. But scientific literature shows physical activity can help you manage depression symptoms.
A 2017 cohort study of 33,908 adults also found that regular exercise can prevent episodes of depression in people with no preexisting symptoms of mental health conditions. Exercise intensity made no difference.
Try to engage in any physical activity at least once a week, even for a few minutes. This could include:
going up and down the stairs
using a pedal exerciser
If you're having a bad day, consider spending at least 30 minutes on any physical activity. This can help you boost your endorphin production. Endorphins are hormones produced in the body that act as natural painkillers and improve your mood.
Consider prioritizing your nutrition
Among many other benefits, eating nutrient-dense foods whenever possible might help you feel better in the long run.
A 2019 systematic analysis of 11 studies found that pro-inflammatory foods like processed sugars, red and processed meats, and refined carbs could increase your chances of depression. Fruits and vegetables, and other anti-inflammatory foods, on the other hand, were linked with a lower chance of depression symptoms.
Sadness, irritability, and emotional distress
Sadness and crying for no reason can be symptoms of depression but aren't the only ones.
You could also experience bouts of irritability, emotional detachment, and anger. Dealing with these emotions can make a given day feel particularly challenging.
Developing skills to manage emotions can prevent and help you handle depression days differently.
Try to identify what sets off these emotions
Everyone is different, so what may affect you might not affect someone else. But learning to identify those thoughts and situations that make you react in specific ways can help you manage your emotions.
For example, caffeine might make you feel irritable. If you're having a difficult day managing irritability, you may want to skip the morning coffee.
Or negative thoughts about yourself can increase your stress levels. Becoming aware of how these thoughts impact you can help you reassess them and switch to more positive self-talk.
Journaling can help you identify those thoughts and situations that spark intense emotions.
Try to save a few minutes each day to write down how you felt or those situations that were particularly challenging.
Consider these journal prompts for these moments:
What was the greatest challenge today?
How did I feel about this challenge?
What was I thinking or doing when I started feeling this way?
What did I eat, drink, or do before feeling this way?
Consider practicing meditation and yoga
Mindfulness meditation and yoga have been shown to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety.
Both of these practices may help you feel grounded and focus on the present moment, which could help you avoid negative thoughts that fuel your emotions.
If you're having a difficult moment dealing with intense emotions, consider this exercise:
Find a quiet place and sit up in a comfortable position.
With eyes closed, focus on the rhythm of your breath.
Place both of your hands on your belly and feel how it lifts as you breathe in and flattens as you breathe out.
As you breathe in through your nose, count until 5.
Hold your breath for 5 seconds.
Breathe out through your mouth as you count until 5.
Repeat the breathing in, holding, and breathing out cycle for as long as it feels comfortable.
Let's recap
Having a bad day when you live with depression can mean some symptoms intensify. It's natural to feel frustrated when this happens.
But bad days don't have to be permanent. Depression is a treatable condition, and symptoms can be managed, even on those days you feel nothing helps.
Keeping physically active, recognizing those situations that intensify negative emotions, and connecting with loved ones are some ways that can help you manage a bad day.
If you feel you're still having a hard time managing your depression, consider seeking the help of a mental health professional.

Discussion in 'Community Discussion' started by aHansson84, Oct 23, 2006.
I just want to get som iChat friends from USA.
Any tips how I can find someone.
Me myself is from Sweden and i am 22 years old.
Not sure if asking for friends on a Macintosh forum is the right way to get friends.
Go outside every once and a while.
Living in Sweden, I'm sure it's difficult for him to go outside and find some Americans.
There was an iChat/AIM thread somewhere around here, though.
I did not ask for new FRIENDS. I Aks for new friends to talk to on iChat.
Uh.. not sure if being sarcastic is the way to help.
He lives in Sweden, and I'm pretty sure this would pose a problem when looking for American friends [mainly from NY], in his home country.
Ok, so are there any sites out there that allow other .Mac members to find one another. I wouldn't mind playing around with iChat.
I can't really help you out with your quest, as I am in Baltimore (not NY) and don't have iChat, but I did want to say that I think you have a good idea there. I am trying to learn Spanish, and while I am still WAYYYY to new at it, it would be cool to hook up with a Spanish speaker in chat to practice my Spanish. Good luck in your search.
I'm from Sweden, and i have a AIM-account over iChat.
But you wrote that you prefered an American, and i'm not!
And besides, frankly i don't know what we would talk about!
I've met a few Swedes while on vacations in Playa del Carmen Mexico. I've yet to meet one that I didn't like. Been to Sweden once, for a day as well. Gutenburg (sic?) Nice city and very pleasant people. I have especially fond memories of watching two lovely Swedish girls dancing at a party we had at a bar in Playa last year.
Sorry I know this thread is old, but I can't send private message yet .
To KevKaos I'm from Chile if you're still interesting to learn or practice spanish I can help you. As you can see my english is not good and I can use a little English too .


Read this journal as if you were peeking over my shoulder, reading my diary. You're not allowed to edit or correct me, nor will I stand for it. This is a journal/diary. Your view of an LJ might be different, but quite frankly, it's none of my business and I care only for this one.
I believe that people who keep friend's only journals are either lying or being deceptive. Not that hiding is always a bad thing; but if you're new and trying to get on my list, be aware that I look for those things. Be proud. Live your life in the open, and dare to speak the truth without worrying about others judging you. That's the basic tenant in my journal anyway, and I've found that those who are exclusively friend's only have a LOT to hide. And usually, it's a mouthful of nonsense and untruths. You should never be ashamed of who you are.
Be a drama queen in your own journal. I won't tolerate it here.
Never "threaten" me. That'll get you no play in my journal. This is my world. Lather, rinse, repeat.
If you're on my friend's list, DO NOT MENTION friend's only info into an open journal entry. I'm trusting you with information, so don't make me boot you because of bad manners.
Do you pay my bills? If not, don't EVER presume to tell me what to do, order me around, or act like you have a say here.
We all hate rules, but I've learned these are necessary. If you personalize this you'll hate me, so just take it easy. Journaallll. Repeat after me.
Comment, don't comment I don't care. I rarely have time to read my friend's list, and consider all of this a little voyeuristic. Do NOT take it personal if I don't read or comment in your journal. If you come up with some STUPID ultimatum (i.e., read me and comment or I'LL UNFRIEND YOU KTHNX) I'll probably be gone from your friend's list.
Stop whining. Unless it's constructive whining, God knows I've probably got it worse than you. If you're gonna whine every day, I'll get tired of it. Thus, the end of our friendship. Even *I* can see light when it appears I'm surrounded by darkness.
STALKERS? Don't even try the anonymous comment. It'll see NO AIR in my journal, and will be immediately deleted.
Real life friends without journals are always welcome to comment, as long as you identify yourself. I realize many do read but don't have journals, and really, you're the ones worth keeping up with.
If you don't like what I say, just deal with it or leave my list. I don't want to hear your caustic remarks IN MY JOURNAL.
Do not EVER correct my grammar or spelling. I spend all of about 2 minutes writing each journal entry and don't edit. Also, for those of you without personalities, STOP STEALING MY SHIITE. If you can't come up with original phrases, seek life elsewhere. I'm tired of reading "me" in your journals. It doesn't make you cute or make me happy. Imitation is NOT the sincerest form of flattery; it's flagrant plagiarism.
THE EX-WHATEVER Clause: If you're an ex-husband/boyfriend/etc., don't comment in my journal unless we are now actively friends (and those are VERY few). I have no desire to see you pop into my life, since I've already booted you out of it once.
That's about all for now. This is subject to change as I deem apropos.


Close your eyes for a moment and think about the logo for one of your favorite brands. What comes to mind? Is it the logo's color? Its shape? The design? Or all of these? Most of us typically associate specific logos with specific brands, but what makes a brand logo memorable?
A well-designed brand logo somehow has a way of seeping into the mind, oftentimes subconsciously. Although a logo is purely symbolic in nature, it becomes more than just a symbol for the brand it represents. A logo can influence our perception of the brand, as well as our purchasing behavior.
For these and other reasons, business owners and entrepreneurs understand the importance of designing logos which succeed with their target markets.
Two famous brand logo designs, one eerily similar origin story Is there a gene for creativity? If so, a lucky few certainly have it.
Take Caleb Bradham, for example. Bradham not only developed the Pepsi-Cola formula, he also scribbled the curvy design that became the foundation of Pepsi's iconic brand logo.
The Coca-Cola logo has a similar story. In the 19th century, John S. Pemburton invented the recipe for Coke and also created the cursive script of the Coca-Cola logo we recognize today.
What if you want to take a page from Bradham and Pemburton? Can you design a brand logo in today's highly visual world? Well, if you are an entrepreneur who also has a creative streak, then designing your own logo is an affordable and easy option.
GraphicSprings: GraphicSprings provides an easy-to-use, interactive design app for creating a brand logo in minutes.
Logomaker: The people at Logomaker believe someone starting a new business shouldn't have to spend a lot of money to get an amazing brand logo. They have thousands of design ideas their customers can use for creating their own affordable logos.
Spaces: This site provides entrepreneurs with the resources they need for designing and building online business pages and storefronts. This includes a brand logo design application.
A little fun with swapping brand logos Remember when I asked you to think of your favorite logo? Would your perception of that brand change with a change of logo?
The creative minds of UK-based custom-printing company Printsome recently published a post to find out what happens if you swap the logos of two rival brands.
Check out the definitive "Brand Logo Swap" below. As you'll see, the results range from awesome to dramatic!

Q: What would be an example of characters forming a complete, orthogonal basis for class functions? I understand characters are traces of the matrix of a representation $D(g): G \rightarrow GL(V)$ in representations, but I really fail to understand how these functions can form a basis for the class functions. From how I see it, they are nothing but numbers.
Perhaps someone could shed light on this problem for me by giving an example, maybe on the $S_3$ representation or something, please? Thank you!

A: So we fix a finite group $G$. Let $D : G \to GL(V)$ be a representation where $V$ is a complex finite dimensional vector space. We notice that $\operatorname{tr}(D(ghg^{-1})) = \operatorname{tr}(D(h))$, so to any representation $D$ on a finite dimensional vector space, we obtain a class functions, that is a function $f : G \to \Bbb C$ so that if $g$ and $g'$ are conjugated then $f(g) = f(g')$.
Now as you suggested we will work the $S_3$ example.
First, the conjugacy classes in $S_3$ are $e, (12)$ and $(123)$. We write these classes $c_0,c_1$ and $c_2$. A function invariant under conjugaison can be written as $\lambda c_0 + \mu c_1 + \delta c_2$ where the greek letters are complex numbers.
Now, we have three irreducible representations : the trivial representation $\rho_0$, the representation $\rho_1$ which is the sign representation. Finally there is a third representation, given on $\Bbb C^2$ seen as $\{(x,y,z) \in \Bbb C^3 : x + y + z = 0 \}$.
For example, the trace of $\rho_0$ is just the function equal to $1$, that is $c_0 + c_1 + c_2$. The sign representation has trace $1$ on $e$ and $(123)$ and $-1$ on $(12)$ so the function is $c_0 - c_1 + c_2$.
As an exercise, you can compute the trace for the third representation and verify that the three functions you obtained are linearly independant.
Edit : In the vector space of class functions (i.e conjugaison invariant functions $\phi : G \to \Bbb C$), there is a natural product given by $\langle \phi_1, \phi_2 \rangle = \frac{1}{|G|} \sum_{g \in G} \phi_1(g)\overline{\phi_2}(g)$. The orthogonality relations says that if $\chi_1, \chi_2$ are the trace functions of irreducible representations $V_1,V_2$, then $\langle, \chi_1, \chi_2\rangle = 1$ if $V_1 \cong V_2$ and $0$ else.
For example, $\langle \rho_0, \rho_1 \rangle = \frac{1}{6} (1 - 3 + 2) = 0$ and $\langle \rho_0, \rho_0 \rangle = \frac{1}{6} (1 + 3 + 2) = 1$.

A: For $S_3$ we have
$$ \begin{array}{l|ccc|ccc}
g\in S_3 & \chi_1(g) & \chi_2(g) & \chi_3(g) & f_1(g) & f_3(g) & f_3(g) \\ \hline
e & 1 & 1 & 2 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ %\hline
(12) & 1 & -1 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 \\
(23) & 1 & -1 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 \\
(13) & 1 & -1 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 \\ %\hline
(123) & 1 & 1 & -1 & 0 & 0 & 1 \\
(132) & 1 & 1 & -1 & 0 & 0 & 1
\end{array} $$
which shows the three irreducible characters $\chi_1$, $\chi_2$, $\chi_3$ and three other class functions $f_1$, $f_2$, $f_3$.
It should be clear that $\{f_1,f_2,f_3\}$ are a basis for the space of all class functions, so this space has dimension $3$. One can also check that $\{\chi_1,\chi_2,\chi_3\}$ are linearly independent, and since there are just as many $\chi_i$s as there are $f_i$, the $\chi_i$s must be a basis too.
And you can compute directly that every pair of different $\chi_i$s are orthogonal to each other.

Who owns social media inside your organization? Stop all raising your hands at once. You know you are all raising your hands. Whether you are a marketer, a insights maven, run customer service or own public relations, you all think you own it. And those in "digital" are smirking now too. You think I forgot you. Well, face it, you are a label not a function. If you attach digital to your title you still sit under one of what I call the big four; you just have some experience in the nebulous digital world. I am not saying those with digital expertise are not experts; I am simply challenging you to recognize you are a focus and not a true function.
So why would I bring up these functions and the focus of digital? Because the fact that all of you think you own responsibility for managing what I call The Crowd (all those out in social media land who are talking to each other moment by moment, conversation by conversation) and frankly I am here to tell you that none of you do. I repeat NONE of the big 4 (consumer insights, marketing, customer service or public relations) own interacting with The Crowd. Why? Because you can't own it; no one can. The Crowd is the single greatest voice ever created in modern times and it is truly uncontrollable. Think about it. The Arab Spring mostly happened on Twitter when The Crowd banded together to somewhat spontaneously coordinate the overthrow of governments. I mean how you can you tell me that you can control this? You can't. I work in social media understanding the ebb and flow of the massive conversation and I tell every person I interact with every day that I know nothing about social and I spend all my time trying to devise ways to create business value from the data. It is my one lesson from all my years in the business. The sooner you recognize its vastness, the sooner you can get over yourself and really get down thinking about the problem.
So what am I saying here? I am here to give you a different way to think about your role managing The Crowd. So the first thing is to say, "I don't own social". In fact, my argument to all of the Big 4 is this; you all own it. Stop and say it out loud. This is important advice for you. Because when you can admit you don't own it, you can begin to figure out how to collaborate with your peers and stop the political battle that is doing nothing good for your organization. In fact, I would argue that each of you own it differently.
This illustration is simply saying that each of The Big Four must work together and maintain their role if you want to best serve your company. By creating a "role" in your day to day work with The Crowd, you will create greater collaboration rather than the political infighting that I see in every organization I work with. I am at the point that when I talk this picture above, I get nods of truth from anyone I talk I to. You all know there is fighting and the picture above is why. Stop trying to own a piece of the pie and own the piece you do.
In a world where consumers within The Crowd have been given the means to create the world's largest focus group using the new modes and venues created in the last 20 years, this function needs to change its stripes. They are in charge of using the world's largest data pool to make sure they understand and process any relevant communication that is important.
Marketing's job has always been focused on delivering the right message to your core consumers in order to maintain loyalty in an effort to build your brand. Well, that sure has changed. These days, most marketing functions are simply blasting content at The Crowd or setting up a digital lemonade stand (Facebook page anyone?) hoping desperately that they can gain engagement. Their job is not simply to drive engagement with The Crowd. Their job is to use what the listeners do to figure out how to creatively influence all that chaos. If they can influence The Crowd, they can catalyze a power more vast then anything they could do when they had control of the old modes and venues in the authoritarian era.
Sure, the public relations function is about appeasing The Crowd, but this function does serve two purposes. Yes, they manage the message when things go wrong, but they also look for opportunities to bolster your company's image when the opportunity arises. The best they can do is merely share the message and hope it is well received. They must be the masters of sharing the message your company is putting out into The Crowd. We use the term "share" because they really don't control anything. Even if their ability to share is influential, how much influence do they really have? Welcome to your new role PR; you are now the mouthpiece that is a single voice screaming into a place where the sum of The Crowd's whispers drowns you out without even trying.
There are two opposing forces at work here. The first is that you can't control The Crowd. The second is by fighting with your peers over who own the responsibility of controlling something that you can't control is a fool's errand. Anyone who isn't recognizing that the new digital economy has changed who has control, hasn't been paying attention over the last 5 years. And riddle me this; has your attempts to wrest control of having responsibility for The Crowd been working? My experience across all verticals and industry and functions has shown me not so much. So I challenge all of you to work together and know your role because The Crowd is telling you what it is. And in order to really get The Crowd to work for you, you are going to need as many friends in your company to do so. Because when you step into the maelstrom that is The Crowd, the only way out is through.

Smithereens take over Asbury Park in September
@ChrisFHJordan
Do you ever get a funny feeling like there's somebody behind you but nobody's there and you think, "I haven't seen the Smithereens in a while," and you say it out loud?

Tickets, $27.50 in advance and $30 at the door, are available at wonderbarasburypark.com. The Smithereens hits include "Blood and Roses," "A Girl Like You" and "Top of the Pops."
Before then, it's a free Smithereens and 10,000 Maniacs double bill 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 25 in front of the Union County Performing Arts Center in Rahway as part the Mayor's Summer Concert Season.

There is little doubt that cricket owns the hearts of the majority of India's many sports fans. But there are growing signs that volleyball is quickly becoming one of this country's increasingly popular sports.
Volleyball is played all over India, both in rural and urban areas, and the nation was ranked fifth in Asia, and 27th in the world in 2013. Despite a glaring lack of sponsors being willing to partner up with India's volleyball teams, the arrival of the Pro Volleyball League has proven to be a big hit.
The Pro Volleyball League kicked off for its ever season in early 2019. There are currently six franchised teams within the league. This saw the likes of Ahmedabad Defenders, Calicut Heroes, Chennai Spartans, Black Hawks Hyderabad, Kochi Blue Spikers and U Mumba Volley all competing for glory. All teams competed in a round-robin tournament that was followed by semi-finals and that grand final itself that was held at the Nehru Indoor Stadium in Chennai.
What was particularly impressive was the fact that the Pro Volleyball League managed to attract a good amount of talented international players. Each side was allowed to have 12 players in their squad and these included so-called international icon players who were selected through a draft auction.
Ahmedabed Defenders benefited greatly from the arrival of the Serbian middle blocker Novica Bjelica, whilst the American outside hitter Paul Lotman made his presence felt for the Calicut Heroes team. Chennai Spartans certainly improved their chances thanks to the arrival of the Canadian Rudy Verhoeff and the Latvian Ruslans Sorokins, and Black Hawks Hyderabad welcomed Carson Clark to the side.
Elsewhere there was the arrival of the American middle blocker David Lee playing for Kochi Blue Spikers, whilst U Mumba Valley saw the veteran outside hitter Tomislav Coskovic joining the team. Such moves mirrored those of the Indian Premier League where many foreign cricket players flock to join teams and keep playing throughout the year.
The first ever Pro Volleyball League concluded on 22 February where Chennai Spartans managed to comfortably beat Calicut Heroes 3-0 in the final. This match saw Spartans stars like Naveen Raja Jacob displaying some phenomenal skills to take home the trophy.
Whilst Chennai Spartans looked comfortable throughout the tournament there were other notable performances from the likes of Kochi Blue Spikers and U Mumba Valley who both made semi-final appearances in the inaugural tournament.
The Pro Volleyball League also attracted plenty of interest on India's broadcast networks. Thanks to the coverage from Sony Pictures Networks India, the nation's fans could easily watch the live action. In addition to this, many betting sites in India such as the ones at bettingalternative.link provided sports fans with competitive odds to enjoy wagering on the volleyball matches.
It remains to be seen how the creation of the Pro Volleyball League will translate into success for India's international volleyball teams. Recently we saw India topping their group to reach the quarter-finals of the under-23 Asian Championships. Thanks to the coaching skills of Prit Singh Chauhan, the team managed to finish ahead of China and New Zealand and they face tough upcoming matches against the likes of Kazakhstan and Japan.
The encouragement of the young team will be essential if India are to improve on their relatively poor record in the Asian Volleyball Championship. The men's team slumped to an 11th place finish in Iran in 2015, whilst the women's team could only reach 10th place in the same tournament.
Of course, it's the upcoming 2020 Olympics in Tokyo that all volleyball teams will be keen to get a place in. The Asian qualifiers will take place from 6 to 12 January 2020, and it's essential that India's volleyball teams work hard in order to improve on their non-appearance at the 2016 Olympics in Rio. But with the arrival of the Pro Volleyball League, it seems that India's volleyball fans have plenty more reasons to be optimistic.

Q: Is there really ANY way to add a header, when multiparting with Alamofire? I'm using the otherwise excellent Alamofire to upload a file, multipart form data, as it happens to IBM Bluemix ...
Alamofire.upload(
multipartFormData: { multipartFormData in
   multipartFormData.append(self.liveImageData!,
                        withName: "abc.jpeg", fileName: "", mimeType: "image/jpeg")
   multipartFormData.append(blahFile, withName: "parameters")
            },
   to: theUrlString,
   encodingCompletion: { encodingResult in
         ...

It turns out Bluemix have an incredible (and parochial) screw-up where if the header for Accept-Language is not "en" or a couple of others - it fails.
(By bad luck, Alamofire does seem to helpfully add a language header, if - say - the iPod is in Paraguay or Vietnam; or it's possible Bluemix is using some other BS like IP location.)
OK, so add a header Accept-Language:en
However, it really appears that
...there is absolutely no way in Alamofire, to both add a custom header, and upload a file?
I tried this type of thing ..
// this approach does ..... nothing
let CF = URLSessionConfiguration.default
var DH = Alamofire.SessionManager.defaultHTTPHeaders
DH["Accept-Language"] = "en"
CF.httpAdditionalHeaders = DH
superDuperManager = Alamofire.SessionManager(configuration: CF)
superDuperManager!.upload(

and it does nothing.  Bummer!
Is there a way?
For anyone struggling with Bluemix, I found that the less developed but, well, better library https://github.com/JustHTTP/Just, thank goodness, resolved the issue
// use this to set a header in the oddly named "Just" library
var jds = JustSessionDefaults()
jds.headers = ["Accept-Language":"en"]
let j = JustOf<HTTP>(defaults: jds)
j.post( urlStringHere,
    // data: ["name": "fattie", "pass":"321go"],
    files: ["LV.jpeg": .data("LV.jpeg", liveImageData!, "image/jpeg")]
) { r in
    if r.ok {

        print("worked? WTH eh.")
        DispatchQueue.main.async {
            self.processResult(r.json)
        }
    }
}

Surely there's a way to set a header (when using Alamofire.upload) in Alamo?
Note this seemingly related post https://stackoverflow.com/a/40234128/294884 simply does not work at all.

It's October. Which means just one thing… Halloween! And if you're looking to celebrate All Hallows' Eve by booking yourself on a spooky adventure, we've got you covered. Here are some of the world's best Halloween destinations that you should visit this year.
Be it because they put on an all mighty good Halloween party or because they come in at some of the scariest places on earth. We've got an awful lot of treats for you this Halloween.
Nothing screams Halloween more than a trip to Transylvania. And with that surely comes a visit to the ultimate vampire's creepy abode. Bran Castle was said to be the home of Vlad the Impaler, who inspired Bram Stoker's Dracula. During Halloween the castle is flocked by visitors wanting to celebrate, as well as learn more about the bloody history of this castle. You can choose to visit the castle yourself, or why not book yourself on to our Halloween Trek tour? Tour Eastern Europe to celebrate some of the real scares of Halloween. As well as a visit to the castle, you'll have plenty of chances to share ghost stories around the campfire too!
If you're looking for a fantastic Halloween, there's no place better than the NYC Halloween Parade, held in Greenwich Village. You'll be joining thousands of Halloween revellers in fancy dress, as they descend the streets of New York. Think giant spooky puppets, zombies, witches, ghouls, you name it, this parade has got it. The parade has a theme ever year, and this years is 'I AM a Robot', so if you want to march in this free parade, you best start thinking about your costume. AND until 31st October 2018, you can save £15 OFF flights to NYC, just by using code BIGAPPLE15.
In Mexico you won't find any mention of Halloween, but instead Day of the Dead, which is an equally spooky celebration. This three day celebration begins on 31st October and it's said to mark the period of time when spirits return to spend time with their friends and family.
Celebrations are different up and down the country. If you're looking for street festivals, head to the UNSECO Human World Heritage site of Oaxaca. The streets of this historic centre transform, the local people with it too. You'll see skulls, flowers and skeletons decorating the streets, houses and all those in attendance too! Or if you want to celebrate in a more traditional style head to the island of Janitzio. Here you'll celebrate the dead with folk dancing and a singing gathering in the cemetery.
Halloween is said to have Celtic traditions, making Ireland and specifically Dublin, a fantastic place to spend Halloween. The Jack O Lantern character was derived from the Irish tale of Jack, who after a devil claimed his soul, was condemned to wander aimlessly until Halloween, where he would reappear to scare children. Creepy right?! In the centre of the city you'll find scary Halloween parties, ghost bus tours and walking tours, so if you want to learn more about Dublin, whilst getting a few scares, these are a must!
If you're looking for a spooky Halloween experience in the USA, head to Salem! It has a dark history full of witch trials and murder. During Halloween visitors are given the full and gruesome story! From guided tours of the haunted spots in Salem, to re-enactments, parades and fireworks, there is something for everyone. And on actual Halloween night you'll find magic shows, seances and witches balls taken place all around the city, so there will be no shortage of scary things to do in Salem this Halloween!
Are you heading on any spooky Halloween adventures this October? Let us know! We want to hear about your trips to some of the scariest places on earth!


We've just got through the book we ordered from the living social deal , and the print quality is appalling, like the printer was running out of ink, we also paid extra for the premium paper and there is no difference on the 2 books we ordered, one with and one without so not worth the £8 and you would have to be mad to spend £34.99 on one from them.
Ordered Leather Photobook (purchased through Groupon) and its rubbish.
Pictures all blurry, colours changed.
When I rang customer service they were really unhelpfull.
Promised to email me with free post address, so i can return the book to be 'reviewed & if THEY think its not right, they will reprint it' BUT if they think its ok they wont do anything.
Used lots of other firms to do photobooks before i loved em. Will NEVER use printpix again.
Stay away and save your money!
I previously had 2 photobooks made up by "Photobox" as anniversary present for other half. They cost a lot but the finished result was amazing. Just as I ordered them the Groupon voucher came up for £8 for a book through Printerpix. I couldn't believe my bad timing! Anyway, I bought 2 vouchers and as the vouchers runs out at the end of the month I did a book for our last holiday. Compared to Photobox it was difficult to arrange the photos and there is one photo that printed sideways as no matter what I did I couldn't get it turned.
That was just doing it.
Today it arrived. The photos are blurry and poor quality despite being clear digital images on my Apple Mac computer. I had spent extra money than the £8 voucher upgrading it - more expensive paper, hardback etc so with the Groupon Voucher I have actually spent nearing £25 on what basically is a rubbish end product! My last £8 voucher I am just going to waste and not use as there is no point heaping more money onto poor quality!
Sorry to hear that others have similarly wasted money on this company!
Ordered two books from printerpix, got a voucher off groupon for £8.00 I upgraded to the landscape book and higher quality paper as I was getting my wedding photos printed off.
Total cost was about £56.00 for two books. The images were taken by our professional photographer so they were high quality. The books arrived yesterday was so pixilated, and in one of the photos were im wearing red lipstick my lips are black. I was so unbelievably disappointed. I have contacted the complaints area but no reply yet.
Stays away from this company don't waste your money.
3. Anything red becomes black in areas.
5. Was meant to be sent by courier but arrived by 2nd class post.

I had a printerpix offer through one of the daily deals sites and I was very impressed. The book we received is beautiful, great quality and the images came out perfectly. I would recommend them.
I used the Groupon deal to make two photobooks of trips my sons made to the French Alps & Honduras & was very worried after reading the above comments.
The first book arrived today & it's ok - for £12.50 (deal + P&P) my son has a nice memento of a great holiday. Picture quality is not perfect & I would definitely not have been happy at £34.99 but I would say that you probably get what you pay for. There must be a reason that these books aren't normally available for £8.
I received my book this morning and as others have said, I'm disappointed with it. I ordered it with the Groupon deal, but had to pay extra for extra pages and hefty delivery charge despite it being sent second class - in total it was about £17. The print quality is poor - I wouldn't say the cover was even leather it's so thin and doesn't smell like leather. The printing is very variable; some pictures light, some dark, some pixelated some completely out of focus, others ok and the colours are very poor, despite the pictures all being from the same source.
It's not quite bad enough for the price to send back, but I definitely wouldn't buy from them again.
If you want a reminder of something and aren't too worried about quality then it's just about ok for the price. If you want a permanent reminder of a special event then take your business elsewhere.
I totally agree with this. Got mine this morning after spending ages trying to put it together. Very disappointing. It looks pretty cheap - certainly not how I expected a leather-bound photo album to look. The pictures are often washed out, dull or pixelated - nothing like how they look when I had them printed individually before. I paid £8 for the album on Groupon plus £4.50 postage (2nd class!!). I definitely wouldn't bother using them again.
This is summing up how I feel just trying to make the calendars I ordered on Groupon. I done some on photobox last year they were lovely and very easy to create. Photopix is just frustrating loads of time spent shrinking pics hoping they are the same size. Not as much choice for background, you can't zoom or see clear enough if the page looks great or not. Now after reading this I'm not going to expect a decent product.
I have not tried the above site, but wanted to say I have tried Snapfish, Photobox and Asda. I was most impressed by Asda and Photobox. I had my wedding album and 3 canvases done by Asda and they are all lovely. The canvases were definately worth the cost.

I ordered a photobook from Photobox and it was lovely. But herewith a warning to those of you that want to take the time and trouble to do more that produce a 'photo per page' type book.
I decided to create photobook using photos from a three week trip. My photos still had random numbers as names since I copy my photos to computer using the name given by the camera. This can be quite random. So I used the handy Photobox facility to change them into "date taken" order and started on my creation. After two hours I was only partway through (lots of photos) so saved it to return later. Imagine my surprise and frustration when I found the order of all my photos had now changed to alphabetical - and apparently they can't be changed back to "date taken"! I now have to either troll through loads of photos trying to remember which were taken first, or start all over again and ensure I finish in one session. Not easy as you can only display around 10 photos at a time and I've loads and loads of them.
After contacting Groupon I am getting an £8 credit against my account for my second £8 voucher for Printerpix. Not an ideal but hopefully I shall find something worthwhile to use the credit on in the next 6 months!
Thanks for this! I got mine delivered today and the picture quality was far superior. I'm not bothered that it is smaller than the printerpix photobook. It is such a lovely freebie!
just recieved my printerpix leather covered book (groupon) had added pages so paid extra, but am delighted !
it arrived 4 days earlier than expected-a bonus as i had overshot the cut off for the date given by the site.
background colour is slightly different from that shown on their web page, but other than that pics look great -including 18yr old ones scanned in, jpegs and even one scanned in from a photocopied school programme!!
I bought a printerpix groupon photobook and I am very very happy with it so ordered the calenders recently and today have been trying to order them and another photobook but just keeps crashing!!?
They make a joke out of their customers. I m waiting over 3 weeks for my book now. Over a week ago they said its printed and will be send same day. After few days I called again and they said that its not printed because printer is broken, but the next day will work. And since then every day they say that it will be with me next day. They even said that I should go to my local post office because it should be there. Of course its not. I nearly begged them to write down that this is emergency order because in few days I m flying abroad to my grandparents 50th wedding anniversary and its a gift but they completely patronized me. Absolutely useless customer service. I asked to speak with the manager but he was busy and never bothered to call me back. The worst photobook company I know.


Aspen is scared for her life, and Case is her last hope for protection. But to get him on her side, she'll have to reveal the painful truth from all those years ago. Now, as they work together to track down a dangerous criminal, Case and Aspen learn to trust each other. And as the threats escalate, it becomes clear there's a thin line between love and hate... because there's nothing Case wouldn't do to keep her safe.

1,250 Trained at Alvirne High School Paid It Forward
Staff photo by Len Lathrop The senior class arrived for their training. The senior class has the least members of the four classes, but they still make the gym seem full.
Staff photo by Len Lathrop Bradford Kamal shows great CPR technique under the watchful eyes of HPD Officer Kew.

Staff photo by Len Lathrop The AED located outside the gym doors. Other units are outside the adult day care in the CTE wing, in the cafe by the food serving lines, in the Nurse's office and the newest unit purchased with a donation from the Dumais will be downstairs in CTE wing by the doorway.
Thursday, April 21, all day the Steckevicz Gymnasium had a sea of ever changing students, teachers and staff as different grade levels divided by last names alphabetically, were exposed to three very important life saving concepts; CPR, proper AED usage, and where AEDs are located in the school. CPR will maintain status of the victim, while AED or Automatic External Defibrillators will correct the problem.
First, Principal Steve Beals enforced with the students as to why this was important. He spoke about Ashley Dumais, a senior at Alvirne, as a member of the Bronco Swim Team, was at a meet at UNH when both CPR and an AED were used to resuscitate her when she had a cardiac event.
When a Pay It Forward event is a complete success, the results may never be known. A quote from Hudson Fire Captain Steve Gannon might bring it home; "Statistics show that in the next two years, someone here will use what they were shown here to save a life," and that is for people trained in a normal course of events. With over 1,250 students, teachers, staff and many from the outside the school, it may be put to use more times than that.
Picture 150 people all doing hand-only CPR on training mannequins on the gym floor, elbows straight and 120 pumps per minute. Everybody had a chance to try their skill under the watchful eyes of certified instructors. Instructors, all volunteers, came from different walks of life. Over 20 professionals came from the Hudson Fire and Police Departments. The school nurses from the Hudson schools were there. Senior Health Science students showed their fellow students these important techniques.
After everyone had done some CPR, Beals showed a short tape presentation about what an AED is meant to accomplish. Then everyone got to see the AED pads and how and where they are applied and attached to the AED unit. Beals reinforced several times with each group where the AED units were located in the school.
One of the most enthusiastic trainers was Ashley Dumais herself, who is certified and worked with her friends and fellow students to show them proper technique. Under her direction and stopwatch timing of Officer Dan Dolan of the HPD, the students were shown how much energy was needed to do 120 compressions per minute.
After the event Jessica Baker, a senior and a Health Science student, when asked had the following comment; "The Senior Health Science students that participated in teaching hands-only CPR and AED training found it was a tremendous success. All of the students that were taught, seemed to be very involved and said that they gained something from the experience. We believe that we truly made a difference in our community with the help of the fire and police departments.
Ashley's parents, Randy and Bonnie, who worked with Beals and the school to make this happen, sent congratulations to those involved; "To Mr. Beals, School Nurses, Health Occupations Staff/Students, Alvirne Staff, student volunteers, Hudson Fire/EMS, Hudson Police, and community volunteers involved in the execution of the school wide CPR/AED training that was held on April 21 at Alvirne High School. The students were engaged in the training making the entire experience positive. Learning this critical skill may enable one to save a life. Let's hope that by raising awareness about the importance of CPR, that this event is adopted by other school districts throughout the state."
When enough is said the story is done, but the lasting effects of this tremendous event, may never be known, but if one life is saved, some time or place, the event will be more of a success than any can measure.

Џорџ -{IV}- (; Лондон, 12. август 1762 — Виндзор, 26. јун 1830) је био краљ Уједињеног Краљевства Велике Британије и Ирске и Хановера. Пре него што је постао краљ био је принц регент од 1811. јер је његов отац Џорџ III био болестан. За своје крунисање је потрошио 943.000 фунти.

Оженио се 1795. рођаком Каролином од Брунзвика, али се од ње развео 1796. после рађања њиховог јединог детета, принцезе Шарлоте. Уз помоћ других европских земаља Енглеска је 1814. победила Француску. Наполеон се вратио 1815, али га је победио Војвода од Велингтона у бици код Ватерлоа.

За време његове владавине је вођен Британско-амерички рат од 1812. до 1815. који је завршен без територијалних промена. Одбијао је да у државној управи изврши реформе, које нису биле потребне.

Наследио га је брат Вилијам IV.

Дјетињство и младост

Рођен је као најстарији од петнаестеро дјеце у браку краља Џорџа III и краљице Шарлоте. Одмах по рођењу постао је војвода од Корнвола и војвода од Ротсеја, а само неколико дана касније, када је утврђено да је здрав и да ће врло вјероватно поживјети, добио је титулу принца од Велса која га је означила као очевог пријестолонасљедника. Џорџ је учио брзо и на крају образовања течно је говорио француски, њемачки и италијански језик поред матерњег енглеског језика.

Када је године 1783. навршио 21 годину живота, од парламента је добио 60.000 фунти и од оца годишње 50.000 фунти. Добио је властиту резиденцију у Лондону, гдје је живио врло луксузним и растрошним животом. Џорџ III је од свог пријестолонасљедника очекивао формалније понашање и тада почињу неслагања између оца и сина. Краљ се удаљио од принца од Велса и због политичких неслагања; први је био политички конзервативац, а други се зближавао са радикалним политичарима.

Недуго након што је напунио 21 годину Џорџ се заљубио у римокатоликињу, двоструку удовицу, Мери Ен Фицхерберт. Њихов брак је био забрањен актом из 1707. године, који је одузимао право на трон свим римокатолицима и особама који су у браку са римокатолицима (тај закон важи и данас). Уз овај закон, године 1772. издан је Акт о краљевским браковима, према којем се свим потомцима краља Џорџа II забрањује склапање брака без одобрења монарха, којег за брак између пријестолонасљедника и римокатоликиње Џорџ III не би никада издао. Без обзира на два закона који су им стајали на путу, пар је 15. децембра 1785. године склопио тајни брак у Фицхербертиној кући. Законски, тај брак је био ништаван јер га није одобрио монарх. Фитзхерберт је ипак вјеровала да је по црквеном закону она легална супруга принца од Велса и тако принцеза Велса, вјерујући да је црквени закон супериоран над државним. Са Џорџом се, ипак, договорила да ће њихов брак чувати тајном и да неће показивати доказе о његовом постојању.

У међувремену је Џорџа његов екстравагантни начин живота довео до банкрота и више није могао плаћати своју лондонску резиденцију, а његов отац му је добио помоћи. Џорџ је, стога, био присиљен живјети у Фицхербертиној кући, што је представљало својеврсно понижење. Године 1787. Џорџови савезници у Дому комуна представили су приједлог за смањење принчевих дугова, иако су истовремено почели сумњати у природу његовог односа са Мери Ен Фицхерберт. Како би био избјегнут национални скандал, представник виговаца, Чарлс Џејмс Фокс, изјавио је да су гласине о Џорџовом браку са Мери Ен Фицхерберт лажне. Мери Ен, међутим, није била задовољна овим јавним порицањем њеног брака са принцом од Велса, па је почела вршити притисак на Џорџа, који јој је удовољио тако што је замолио другог виговца да Фоксову изјаву преформулише тако да не вријеђа његову супругу. Парламент је, у међувремену, одлучио да Џорџу поклони износ од 161.000 фунти за отплату дугова и 60.000 фунти за одржавање његове резиденције.

Питање регентства

Сматра се да је краљ Џорџ III боловао од насљедне менталне болести порфирије. У љето 1788. године његово стање се погоршало, али је био у могућности одрећи се неких својих дужности. Како краљ након тога није био у стању отворити сједницу парламента - а према старом правилу које важи и данас, парламент не може функционисати уколико га не отвори монарх. Иако теоретски није био овлаштен за то, парламент је почео разматри могућност увођења регента. У Дому комуна Чарлс Џејмс Фокс је изјавио да сада све суверене овласти припадају пријестолонасљеднику. Са друге стране, премијер Вилијам Пит Млађи држао је другачије мишљење. Он је вјеровао да право на избор регента има само парламент. Иако је вјеровао да без парламентарног пристанка принц од Велса има једнако право на регенство као и свака друга особа у краљевству, Вилијам Пит Млађи се са Чарлсом Џејмсом Фоксом слагао да је Џорџ најбољи за мјесто регента.

Џорџ, иако увријеђен од стране премијера Пита, није се слагао ни са Фоксовом филозофијом. Његов млађи брат, војвода од Јорка, изјавио је да принц од Велса неће покушавати преузети власт без одобрења парламента. Пит је објавио да ће овласти принца од Велса, уколико буде проглашен регентом, бити веома ограничене. Између осталог, не би смио продати краљев посјед нити дати титулу било коме осим краљевом дјетету (односно свом брату или сестри). Џорџ се није сложио са Питовим замисилима. Двије фракције су се на крају сложиле на компромис.

Важан технички недостатак регентства био је тај што регент и даље није имао право да отвори сједницу парламента, без чега је парламент био у потпуности немоћан. Сједнице је углавном отварао монарх, али то су могли учинити и његови или њени представници, познати као лордови комисионери. Међутим, ни лордови комисионери нису могли дјеловати уколико не приме велики печат краљевства, а њега је могао предати једино суверен. Пит и његови сљедбеници били су спремни игнорисати посљедњу препреку, али су се њиховом науму оштро супротставили Едмунд Берк и војвода од Јорка. Без обзира на њихове примједбе, 3. фебруара 1789. године парламент је отворила група "илегалних" лордова комисионера. Акт о регентству је предложен, али краљ се опоравио прије него је могао проћи у парламенту. Краљ је затим ретроактивно овластио лордове комисионере и дао им печат краљевства.

Брак

Џорџ је, у међувремену, наставио гомилати дугове, а отац му није желио помоћи уколико не пристане оженити своју рођаку, Каролину од Брунзвика. Џорџ је пристао на очеве захтјеве и оженио Каролину 8. априла 1795. године. Брак је био катастрофалан - младенци су од самог почетка били у свађи једно са другим. Принц од Велса је тврдио да је са супругом спавао само три ноћи, па је рођење кћерке Шарлоте Августе 1796. године сматрано чудом. Након њеног рођења принц и принцеза од Велса живјели су одвојено до краја живота, а Џорџ се вратио Мери Ен Фицхерберт.

За ово вријеме Џорџ је успио нагомилати 630.000 фунти дуга. Парламент их је константно исплаћивао, али захваљујући његовој навици на луксуз, брзо су се опет гомилали.

Године 1806. принц и принцеза од Велса посвађали су се око старатељства над кћерком. Спор је ријешен када је старатељство над принцезом Шарлотом Августом од Велса дато њеном деди, краљу. Џорџ је затим оптужио Каролину да је родила ванбрачног сина. Доказано је супротно, али је принцеза од Велса била критикована због индискретног понашања.

Регентство

При крају 1810. године, недуго након смрти најмлађег дјетета, принцезе Амелије, краља Џорџа III опет је савладала болест. Лордови комисионери отворили су сједницу парламента, који је регентом прогласио принца од Велса.

Принц од Велса постао је принц регент 5. јануара исте године и његова прва задаћа била је суочавање са католичком еманципацијом, покретом римокатолика који је имао за задатак укидање ограничења католицима. Торијевци, на чијем челу је био премијер Спенсер Персивал, су били против покрета, али виговци су га подржавали. На почетку његовог регентства очекивало се да ће принц регент одмах подржати лидера виговаца, Вилијама Виндама Гренвила, али он то није учинио. Тврдио је да би изненадно отпуштање владе у којој су већину чинили торијевци негативно утицало на здравље краља (чврстог присталице торијеваца) и уклонило сваку могућност његовог опоравка. Чак и 1812. године, када је било јасно да је краљ далеко од оздрављења, Џорџ није успоставио виговску владу, већ је представнике виговаца замолио да се придруже постојећој, торијевској влади. Виговци су одбили да сарађују због неспоразума по питању католичке еманципације. Принц регент је невољно дозволио Персивалу да остане на мјесту премијера.

Када је 10. маја 1812. године извршен атентат на премијера Персивала и овај био убијен, принц регент је био спреман да постави новог премијера. Дом комуна је формално изразио жељу за јаком и ефикасном администрацијом, па је управа над владом понуђена Ричарду Веслију, и Френсису Роудон-Хејстингсу, 2. грофу од Мора. Џорџ је, међутим, оба кандидата осудио на неуспјех када им је наредио да владу уреде тако да је обје партије, виговци и торијевци, чине у подједнаком омјеру, што је у том периоду било немогуће јер представници две партије нису жељели међусобну сарађивати. Искористивши насталу ситуацију, принц регент је на мјесто премијера поставио свог кандидата, Роберта Банкса Џенкинсона, 2. грофа од Ливерпула.

Торијевци су, за разлику од виговаца као што је био Чарлс Греј, 2. гроф Греј, жељели наставити рат у Европи против моћног и агресивног француског цара, Наполеона I. Русија, Пруска, Аустрија и Уједињено Краљевство, заједно са неколико мањих државица, поразили су Наополеона 1814. године. На Бечком конгресу који је услиједио одлучено је да ће електорат Хановер, који је са Уједињеним Краљевством дијелио монарха још од 1714. године, бити уздигнут на ниво краљевства. Наполеон је покушао узвратити ударац 1815. године, али је био поражен од стране Артур Велслија, 1. војводе од Велингтона, брата Ричарда Велеслија. Исте године без побједника је окончан рат са Сједињеним Америчким Државама.

Владавина

Краљ Џорџ III умро је 1820. године и принц регент је ступио на пријесто као Џорџ IV, иако се његове овласти заправо нису нимале промијениле.

Његов однос са супругом Каролином, сада законски краљицом пратиљом, је био потпуно уништен и обоје су варали једно друго. Каролина је претходно била напустила Уједињено Краљевство, али се вратила нешто прије супруговог кринисања, излагајући своја права да буде крунисана као Џорџва краљица пратиља. Џорџ је одбио признати је за своју краљицу и наредио је британским амбасадорима да затраже од осталих монарха да је не признају на својим дворовима. На краљев захтјев краљичино име је било изостављено из молитве за краљевску породицу. Краљ је желио развод, али његови савјетници су се бојали да би Каролина могла изнијети доказе о његовом тајном браку са католикињом и тако му одузети право на трон. Краљ је затим парламенту предложио закон који би му омогућио да поништи свој брак са Каролином и одузме јој титулу краљице која јој је као краљевој супрузи законом била гарантована. Предложени закон се показао изузетно непопуларним у јавности, па га парламент стога није прихватио. Џорџ је, ипак, успио да не дозволи Каролини да буде крунисана заједно са њим, 19. јула 1821. године. Каролина се тога дана разбољела и 7. августа умрла, тврдећи да је била отрована.

Џорџово крунисање је била величанствена и помпозна церемонија - коштала га је 243.000 фунти (док је, за успоредбу, крунисање његовог оца коштало 10.000 фунти). Упркос новцу утрошеном на њу, изазвала је велики интерес народа. Године 1821. Џорџ је постао први ирски монарх који је посјетио Ирску још од времена Ричарда II. Сљедеће године посјетио је Единбург, којег ниједан монарх није посјетио још од времена Чарлса II.

Џорџ IV провео је највећи дио своје владавине осамљен у дворцу Виндсор, али се наставио редовно мијешати у политику. У почетку се вјеровало да ће подржати католичку еманципацију, јер ју је 1797. био предложио и у Ирској, али његови анти-католички погледи постали су јасни 1813. године. Џорџ је своју одлуку о неподржавању католика објаснио рекавши да се на свом крунисању заклео да ће бранити протестантизам, те да више не може подржавати католике. Утицај круне и воља торијеваца су били толико јако да се католичка еманципација чинила безнадежном. Године 1827. премијер Ливерпул је отишао у пензију и наслиједио га је торијевац Џорџ Кенинг који је подржавао еманципацију. Кенингови погледи на католичку еманципацију нису били добро примљени од стране конзервативних торијеваца, те су у владу били укључени и виговци. Кенинг је умро исте године и оставио управу над торијевско-виговском коалицијом Фредерицк Јохн Робинсон (Фредерик Џон Робинсон), 1. висконту Годерицху. Висконт Годерицх дао је оставку 1828. године, па је премијер постао војвода од Wеллингтона, који је до тада већ био схватио да је одбијање попуштању католика у свим мјерама било неизводљиво. Са великом тешкоћом нови премијер је добио краљево одобрење и донио закон којим се католицима укидају нека ограничења 29. јануара 1829. године. Под притиксом свог брата, војводе од Цумберланда, краљ је повукао своје одобрење и протестујући кабинет је дао оставку 4. марта. Сљедећи дан Џорџ IV је опет дао свој пристанак на закон, а потписао га је 13. априла.

Смрт и наслијеђе

Краљев проблем са алкохолом и начин живота којег је водио узели су маха на његово здравље 1820. године. Његова растућа претилост изазивала је подсмијех на јавним појављивањима, која су постајала све ријеђа пред крај владавине. Патио је од гихта, артиосклериозе и порфирије. Умро је три по сата послије поноћи 26. јуна 1830. године.

Како је његова једина кћерка рођена у браку са Каролином умрла 1817. године, недуго након што је родила мртворођенче, и најстарији од његове млађе браће умро 1827. године, наслиједио га је брат, Вилијам IV.

Paramount's Yellowstone left fans' jaws dropped after its riveting season 3 finale. After the shock settled, many viewers couldn't help but to draw comparisons to another popular, action-packed show: Game of Thrones.
To summarize many fans feelings, Clint Chelf, former Oklahoma State quarterback, put it simply. Following the finale that shocked over 5 million live viewers, he drew the comparison between the two hit shows. He says, "Yellowstone went full Game of Thrones."

Wes Bentley On Game Of Thrones & Fan Theories
In fact, Wes Bentley, who plays Jamie in Yellowstone, has admitted he is a Game of Thrones fan. He mentioned in an interview with Entertainment Weekly the connection between the two shows. He says he empathizes the fans urge to share theories. He says he had the same feeling of curiosity during GOT. "I mean, I was a Game of Thrones fan, so I had my own theories," he tells EW.
He goes on to say he understands the parallels that have been drawn between the to hit shows, as well. "Yes, there definitely is [a connection]," Bentley tells Entertainment Weekly. "The way the family dynamic works and the goals that kind of all fit together in some weird ways."
GOT Connections Prior to Season 3
Yellowstone's co-creator and writer Taylor Sheridan has also mentioned similarities. In an interview with Deadline prior to season three, Sheridan give Game of Thrones as an example to explain depth of character development and plot growth. "I'll give a Game of Thrones example. Once we understand all the players and what they want, then we understand the threat that's really coming and the hero we think is coming," he explains. Continuing, explaining the situation the show was in before the third season began, "Well now we can slow the world way down and look at what makes these people tick and keep putting them in situations that will show their true colors." He explains similar to Game of Thrones, "it's about figuring out who's who," which sometimes means that person's motives and passions are completely different than you original believe.
Cole Houser, who plays Rip, posted an Instagram as fans geared up for season three. He alluded to Game of Thrones in the caption, saying "Winter is coming."

Game Of Thrones Gives Yellowstone Fans Hope For Characters' Future
Not only have fans found shocking similarities in family dynamics and plot, but they also have decided the outcome for many characters in the medieval show might mean some of their Yellowstone favorites are safe.
In a Reddit discussing the season three finale, one user brings up the fate of many Game of Thrones main characters. CinemaBlend referencing the user who reasons, "They all will survive — if Game of Thrones taught me anything, it's that it is easy to kill main characters. If you want them dead from a writing standpoint, you don't do it in the last five minutes." They are, of course, referencing Jon Snow's fate in the fifth season finale and continued storyline in the sixth season of Game of Thrones. With this logic, they explain Yellowstone may leave a cliff hanger ending, but there is no way the fan favorites are completely killed off.
Another Reddit user said simply, "So… is this just becoming a Western version of Game of Thrones?"
Seems only time (and season four) will tell. Season 4 of Yellowstone is expected to hit televisions late June 2021.

Q: Domain Driven Design - how relevant is it in a Technical Domain? This is one thing that has been bugging me for a while about DDD.  I can clearly see the benefits of the approach when dealing with non-technical business domains with complex models and lots of interaction required between technical people and non-technical domain experts.
However, what about when the 'domain' in question is technical?
For instance, situation A) take a web start-up.  Imagine they are trying to accomplish something quite complicated (say a facebook clone), but almost all of the staff are technical (or at least have strong technical understanding).
What about situation B) A similar situation, but with a slightly less ambitious project, and a lone developer trying to create somthing with an elegant architecture.
I'd be really interested to hear what people have to say.  What I'm really trying to get to the meat of, is where the benefits of DDD lie, what the downsides might are, and at what point one outweighs the other...

A: DDD is really just an elaboration of the design pattern Fowler calls Domain Model in Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture. In that book, he compares Domain Model to other ways of organizing code, such as Transaction Script, but it is clear that he prefers Domain Model over other alternatives for all but the simplest of applications. I do, too.
DDD simply expands greatly on the original concept of a Domain Model and provides tons of guidance on how we should analyze and model our domain in a way that will be beneficial to ourselves as developers.
If the Domain in question is complex, then a Domain model (and hence DDD) is a good choice. It doesn't really matter whether the Domain is business-oriented or more technical in nature. In his book Domain-Driven Design, Eric Evans starts by describing how the DDD techniques helped him model a Printed Circuit Board application. That is surely a technical Domain, if any!
In my current work, we are using DDD to model an application that deals with Claims-based identity - another very technical Domain.
DDD is really just about dealing with complexity in sofware, and this is also the subtitle of Evans' book: "Tackling Complexity in the Heart of Software."

A: Evans suggest using Domain Driven Design when :
Domain Complexity > Technical Complexity

*

*If your domain is simple but you have many technical limitations (technology choice, performance restrictions etc), do not use DDD.

*If your domain in complex, do DDD, put the domain as the core of your system, and move any other concern outside (persistence, performance, technology concerns).

A: I don't really have a great answer for you, but I can say from my perspective as an outsider to DDD with an interest in DDD I've seen technical domain concepts / drivers creep into the the DDD conversation as first class concepts. A good example of this would be that some people are advocating for technical / infrastructure bounded contexts. The best example I can think of is Greg Young's architecture where he considers reads a bounded context and transactional writes another bounded context. In general I think things like this are "domain constructs" (my term... forgive me if I must mutilated a real DDD term). It's similiar to objects in the OO world that don't model something in the real world but are fully flushed out objects.


Our median gender pay gap is very small and compares favourably to the national average and to other similar organisations in our sector.
POhWER is a charity providing Advocacy services to some of the most vulnerable members of society. The sector is traditionally more heavily staffed by women as is POhWER with women forming 81.75% of staff.
salary banding system in place that recognises the role and job title of employees irrespective of their gender as evidenced by the much lower median pay gap.
The salaries for each role are on a sliding scale with increments at 12 and 24 months irrespective of gender, and are based on experience as well as length of service.
POhWER's gender pay gap compares favourably with the majority of other organisations within the advocacy sector and we are proud and confident that our salary banding is equitable and recognises the contribution of all staff irrespective of their gender.
We will continue to take active steps to reduce the gap and deliver equitable and inclusive pay grades across the charity.
working arrangements and equality for all employees ensuring there is consistency across the salary structure in place.
POhWER is committed to continuing to work at reducing the Gender Pay Gap in line with our values and belief that everyone should be treated fairly and equitably.
The above information has been calculated and verified as an accurate representation of the Gender Pay Gap Reporting that is required for 2019.
