ASU Sun Devils, Arizona Cardinals: Let 'em Eat Cupcakes
Clay McNear September 10, 2008 7:12AM
By Clay McNear
Before we look forward, a quick look back . . .
ASU vs. Stanford in Tempe, September 6
This game was supposed to be a lot closer than the end result, a 41-17 thumping of the Cardinal by senior QB Rudy Carpenter (pictured) and crew. After years of being the Pac-10's dead bird, Jim Harbaugh's Big Red Bird is purportedly on the rise, and a Week One win over Oregon State had a lot of prognosticators thinking . . . well, suffice to say they're not thinking that so much anymore, certainly not with SU due to pay a not-in-my-house call on a tough Texas Christian University team on Saturday the 13th.
On ASU's side of the ball, every non-deluded Sun Devil fan was way leery of the Stanford game. Despite being in Coach Dennis Erickson's second year – historically, his teams have kicked major posterior in Year Two – the Devils kinda sorta stunk up the joint in their season debut against Northern Arizona. Stanford? Christ, those brainiacs beat USC and Cal last year. A fumble here, a silly bounce there, and 2-0/1-0 ASU's suddenly looking at 1-1/0-1, with the sole W being a semi-shaky W over the big-whoopin'-deal NAU Lumberjacks.
Was Stanford not quite as good as billed, or is ASU better?
ASU vs. UNLV in Tempe, September 13
While the Devils were de-frocking the Cardinal, the Sin City Rebels (1-1) were getting their collective clock cleaned by the Utes of Utah, certainly no shock given that Utah held a lifetime 11-2 W/L against 'em going in. Still, the Rebs proved pesky in the first half, kicking the Utes' butts around the ballyard and making it appear that there might be an actual contest in the offing. Rebels QB Omar Clayton had a decent game (19-of-30, 159, 1 TD), and RB Frank Summers smoked the Utes for 82 yards in the first two quarters. Trouble is, Summers managed only five the rest of the way, and his teammates only 83. Expect the oddsmakers in Vegas to sincerely dis their hometown team, 'cause this, Sun Devils fans, is a cupcake.
Prediction: Coach Erickson keeps his team's collective football mind off the lurking Georgia Bulldogs, and ASU rolls, 56-7.
Kickoff is at 7 p.m. at Sun Devil Stadium, 500 East Veterans Way in Tempe. See www.thesundevils.com.
Arizona Cardinals vs. San Francisco 49ers in San Francisco, September 7
This was, pure and simple, a numbers game, and here are the only ones that matter:
Times QB Kurt Warner turned the ball over: 0.
Time of possession, second half: 22:38 Cards, 7:22 Niners.
Current NFC West standings: Cardinals, 1-0. Everybody else, 0-1.
However, before we pump ourselves up all out of proportion, let's remember what a mutt-ugly game this was, especially in the first half. Red-zone futility, veteran Mike Gandy's doh! personal foul on the goal line, offensive coordinator Todd Haley's nincompoop first-half decision to return to the running-game well time and time again when it wasn't working – well, it all felt very 2007, and 2006, and 2005, and 2004, and . . .
Still, however much most of us thought they were gonna blow it as per usual, the bottom line is that these 2008 Cards stuck it to the team that swept 'em last year and likely kept them out of the playoffs.
Oh, yeah – one more number: Before this game, the Cards' opening-day record in Arizona was 4-16. Now? Exponentially better than that.
Arizona Cardinals vs. Miami Dolphins in Glendale, September 14
Previous to the Cards/49ers game, I enumerated the following reasons for pessimism in regards to the Cards notching what should be an auto W against the Fish:
1) the Cardinals typically can't beat a paper bag if it has a losing record
2) it's the Cards' regular-season home opener, and the fans expect crunch-time mediocrity, if not outright failure
3) the Dolphins know that new czar Bill Parcells (pictured) will grind them into chum if they lose one of their few winnable games to a historical barking dog like the Cards
Now that the 49ers game is in the bag, let's deconstruct, shall we?
1) the paper-bag syndrome is historically oh-so-true, but they did beat the woeful Niners, who were 5-11 in '07, and only that by dint of sweeping the Cards
2) Cardinals fans who don't expect crunch-time futility aren't true Cardinals fans and should get the hell out of town; remember, what doesn't kill us makes us want to kill ourselves
3) the Tuna factor: the Cardinals don't have a Bill Parcells equivalent, but head coach Ken Whisenhunt's growing on me, and I suspect he'd be a mite peeved to lose to a barking marine mammal like Miami
Whisenhunt well knows that his Cards must have this gimme given the murderers' row that lies ahead. At Washington, at the Jets, Bills, Cowboys, at Carolina. Ack. Though you can color me hopeful, one thing you can count on the Cardinals to do is to play down to their level of need.
I've got a bad feeling about this one.
Prediction: Warner coughs it up, the luck of the Tuna kicks in, and the Cards thump back to Earth, 14-17.
Kickoff is at 1:15 p.m. at the UofP, 1 Cardinals Drive in Glendale. See www.azcardinals.com or www.ticketmaster.com.

Coronavirus: France to require masks in most workplaces
People wearing protective masks walk near the Louvre Museum as France reinforces mask-wearing as part of efforts to curb a resurgence of coronavirus across the country, in Paris, France, on August 6, 2020. (Reuters)
Reuters, Paris
The French government plans to make wearing a mask compulsory in the vast majority of workplaces to try to stop a resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The labor ministry said the new arrangement would apply to all shared spaces in offices and factories, but would not extend to individual offices where only one employee is present.
The ministry, in a statement, did not say when the new rules would take effect. It said that working from home would remain its recommended option for employees.
France imposed some of Europe's toughest lockdown restrictions earlier this year, greatly reducing the rate of coronavirus infections. But in the past few weeks the numbers of new COVID-19 cases have climbed, and public health officials have warned that contagion could spin out of control.
The government has been under pressure from trade unions to step up protective measures in time for September, when people return to work after long summer holidays, and when children are due back at school.
"The best thing we can do to prepare for the return from vacations is to reassure employees that, together, we are taking the precautions to avoid spreading the virus," Elisabeth Borne, the labor minister, was quoted as saying by the ministry.

After some reflection during the holidays and where I want to take 2019 with CWF, I have come to realize, my real passion in the fitness industry is helping beginner girls get comfortable in the gym.
Because the truth is we all started somewhere, we all started gyming with someone that showed us the ropes? Hands up if you had a friend or sibling take you to the gym for the first time? I want to be that person for you! Your friend, older 'sibling' per say, I want to be the one to make you feel WELCOME, and not look at you struggling because you don't know what you are doing yet!
That is my ultimate passion, not the transformation pictures, but the "I felt so much more confident and stronger" messages. Believe me, my girls make me proud but for 2019 I want to focus more on shorter challenges and helping girls go from the cardio section, to the weight section with my assistance and guidance.
So, if you joined the gym in January (because of all the crazy special they have going on) and it's the third week of January, and you still have no idea what you are doing or what you should be doing YET. Please contact me, my new 4 week introduction gym program and challenge will launch the 28th of January 2019. Private fb group, more information than I have ever shared before, weekly check ins, 24/7 contact with me and so much more.
Limited spots available as I really want to make this exclusive, share as much knowledge as I can and get to know each of you individually.
Literally because it gives me the biggest joy, and what my heart is telling me to do. No more hour long incline walks on the treadmill and no more intimidation and fear of the weight section. I want us all the be strong together!

Q: Editing comments on show.html.erb rather than redirecting to new edit.html.erb page with Ruby on Rails Like the title says, I am created the blog application from the Rails guide and I want to be able to edit comments made on articles without redirecting to an edit.html.erb page. I want a div that was previously hidden to appear in the middle of the screen with the edit form on it and the text fields filled with the comment that is being edited. Here is an image of the div that is going to appear in the middle of the screen.

I know how to edit comments by going to edit.html.erb but not in the same page or if this is even possible.
I am not looking for help with the css or html, but if there is a way to do this with js or rails that would be awesome. Thanks in advance!
Edit: So the answer by Satendra gets the partial to show up, but the fields do not contain the original comment that I wanted to edit. How can I get the text-fields to be populated with the comment?

A: Follow these steps to make edit comment on same page.

*

*Create a partial name _edit.html.erb put your edit.html.erb code there.

*Create a div in middle of the screen where you want to render this partial.
<div id="edit_comment" >

</div>

*put :remote => true to your edit button link.
# change your path accordingly
<%= link_to edit_comment_path(:comment_id => comment.id), :remote => true %>

The :remote => true is the most important part here, it allows the whole Ajax business in the first place.

*In comment_controller.rb inside edit function change respond_to js
def edit
   @comment = Comment.find(params[:id])

   respond_to do |format|
      format.js
   end
end

*Create edit.js.erb and put below code there.
$("#edit_comment").html("<%= j render(:partial => 'edit', :locals =>{ :comment => @comment }) %>");
# use comment variable in your partial as it is passed as local.

Its Done.

Schloss Rosenburg is a beautiful Renaissance castle that sits on a cliff atop the River Kamp, and tucked into one of the country's national parks. We have visited before for its Falconry display and for its Christmas market.
Spring vendors filled several of the rooms, including the Falconry Museum rooms, creating an unusual juxtaposition: birds of prey (and antlers) vying for equal attention with hand-painted Easter eggs and all sorts of culinary and decorative treasures from this part of Austria (and America).
A rather interesting painted egg.
And rather large breads, too.
Gorgeous views awaited those who walked out onto the balcony.
Regrettably the roast lamb was not quite ready at the castle restaurant when we had finished the market and were seeking lunch, so we had to "make do" with Wirtshauskultur in the town proper.
On the menu: handmade tagliatelle with Bärlauch (wild garlic) pesto and grilled free-range chicken, all in a multiple-award winning tavern. No complaints.


The idea that any "break" from school demands an amazing vacation.
A little man on a horse is no longer a good enough shirt emblem. It has to be a whale or you can just forget it.
Sonic happy hour? No. Frappes from Starbies.
Duckface with a peace sign is the only selfie worth posting on social media.
Expecting a car before their sixteenth birthday.
That's it. Make your kids do work. Then make them use the money they WORKED TO EARN to pay for their own Starbies and whale shirts. Some other treatments are: phone deprivation, staying home during school breaks, and keeping your money in your own wallet. These are also effective.
Now, I have to warn you, the side effects of the treatment can be brutal. Here are 7 side effects that come with the cure for WilCo-itis.
I know, the side effects look grim especially if you have to live with them every day. Not the kids, you. You will have to live with them every day. It will be hard but I think you can do it. YOU have the ability to raise children that aren't entitled little jerks running around with their parents' credit card. YOU are the parent, not the fun/entertainment director. YOUR KIDS ARE NOT THE BOSS OF YOU. You are the boss, and occasionally, you let them make choices and you don't have to feel bad about it. Even the tweens need (GASP) guidance even though they know everything already. You are equipped to do this. You can cure your kids of this nasty disease and they will be better humans for it. Together we can beat Wilco-itis.


My parents took Emery to Boston Common for an afternoon just with Emery. They walked around gardens, saw the ducks and rose the iconic swan boat. Afterwards they took Emery to eat steamed buns "xiao long bao" in Chinatown and Layer went to Copley. They spoiled her rotten like great grand parents and bought her a dress and a terrier purse that she picked out herself. Here are some pics from that great afternoon in the city of Boston.
And this is how it began.

Q: QGIS saves Eastings and Northings as 0, despite displaying correct coordinates A point layer in a geopackage contains easting format_number($x,0) and northing format_number($y,0) fields to record co-ordinates.
The CRS for the project and the layer are set to BNG. When creating a feature, co-ordinates are accurately recorded, however both easting and northing change to 0 when updates to the layer are saved.
QGIS version 3.4.6

A: Importing the file you shared:

*

*add points

*edit the table, selecting for example the easting filed

*enter the formula format_number($x,0)

*Update all

*Exit edit mode, thus saving

The files retains the updated coordinates.
However,  since you mention that "co-ordinates are accurately recorded" I guess you originally had a virtual field.
Just to make sure, I created a virtual field, assigning format_number($x,0) as calculated value, saved the (.gpkg) file, created a new project, imported the .gpkg.
As expected, the virtual field was gone.
So this is also not your case, because you state the fields (easting and northing) are there, but zeroed-out.
(And this should have been a comment, not an answer ;) )


Diabetes, also known by the name of Diabetes mellitius, represents a group of diseases linked to metabolism in which an individual possesses high sugar levels. This generally occurs either due to malfunctioning of the pancreas that doesn't produce sufficient insulin or due to the lack of response of cells to the produced insulin.
This disease is classified in four main categories which are type 1, type 2, gestational diabetes, and "other specific types." The last category refers to a collection of a few individual cases of diabetes that couldn't be included in any of the previous categories.
During the 17th century, physicians like Dr. Thomas Wills could determine whether a person suffers from diabetes by sampling urine. If the taste of the urine was sweet, the individual would be diagnosed with diabetes. Prior to the discovery of insulin, in 1921, people that suffered from diabetes were usually put out of its misery because their condition evolved to the point of coma. After the introduction of insulin in medical world, the two first main categories of diabetes were set because type one is viewed as insulin-sensitive, while type two isn't.
The causes behind the onset of diabetes vary depending on the type. Type 1 diabetes is generally inherited, but triggered by some infections. Some research points towards Coxsackie B4 virus. Furthermore, a genetic element linked to its susceptibility was traced to HLA genotypes which are genetic identifiers that depend on the immune system. A particular characteristic of this group is that it is unrelated to one's lifestyle.
Type 2 diabetes often occurs because of a mixture between lifestyle factors and genetics. There are some lifestyle factors with a higher influence on its appearance such as lack of physical activity, obesity, stress, urbanization, and poor diet. The excess of weight is associated in proportions of 30 percent with the Japanese and Chinese cases, 60-70 percent in people living in Africa and Europa and 100% of those living in the Pacific Islands and Pima Indians. Additionally, there are dietary factors that also contribute to diabetes development like sugar intake that can come from sugar-sweetened drinks and foods, eating white rice, as well as saturated fats.
Moreover, there are some genetic defects in insulin action or processing such as gene mutations, receptor mutations and defects in proinsulin conversion that can also trigger diabetes. In some situations, the condition can be developed as a negative result of some drug adminsitration including thyroid hormone, statins, glucocorticoids, and ?-adrenergic agonists.
For those who aren't genetically prone to its apparition, prevention of diabetes can be done by following a proper diet, avoiding unnecessary sugar intake, exercising on a regular basis, and having a good sleep schedule.
All types of diabetes are characterized by an increase in blood glucose and insufficiency in the organism. One of the first symptoms that appear in individuals that suffer from this medical disorder is a frequent desire to use the bathroom and a sensation of urination that is maintained constant throughout the day. This symptom appears because the insulin is either inexistent or ineffective and the kidneys are unable to filter it back to the blood, thus they become overwhelmed and draw the extra water in order to dilute glucose. Another common sign is unquenchable thirst that is, in fact, a result of the frequent urination.
In type 1 diabetes, individuals start losing weight without trying because their pancreas stops producing insulin which makes the organism attack the cells that usually generate insulin. Because the organism seeks for an energy source, it starts to break down fat and muscle tissue in order to generate required energy. While in type 2 diabetes people also experience a weight loss, it can be easily overlooked because it's not that noticeable. Numbness and tingling in feet, hands, and legs represents a symptom called neuropathy, which occurs gradually over time. This can enhance when tighter blood control is achieved.
Other symptoms that characterize this bodily problem include dry or itchy skin, blurred vision, frequent cuts, or bruises that require prolonged healing periods and infections. Even though these signs are also associated with other diseases, they're viewed as a part of diabetes when they represent a result of the excess blood glucose.
Recent research revealed that it is better for anyone over the age of 45 to take a diabetes or prediabetes test, even though he or she didn't experience any of the above mentioned symptoms. These tests are highly recommended for those who are overweight or have previously experienced one of the characteristics signs.
In order to properly diagnose this condition, one should visit a specialized medical doctor. During the visit, a series of tests are more likely to be conducted, particularly if that person claims to have some of those symptoms. One of these tests is called A1C and is often utilized to detect type 2 diabetes. It reflects the average blood glucose level of the past three months, but it doesn't show daily fluctuations. A percent of 5.7 to 6.4 on A1C indicates prediabetes and a percent of more than 6.5 shows that the person suffers from type 2 diabetes. Another popular test is OGTT or oral glucose tolerance test. This measures the level of glucose in the blood after the individual fasts for at least eight hours and two hours after the intake of a liquid that contains 75 grams of glucose that was dissolved in water. If the level situates between 140 and 199 mg/dL, the individual possesses a type of prediabetes named impaired glucose tolerance. If it is confirmed by a second test with a level of 200 mg/dL, it means that the person suffers from diabetes.
Although these blood tests represent a relatively good way of diagnosing diabetes, their results are not always accurate because they vary depending on the person that's being tested and different tests. However, people should keep in mind that specialized healthcare providers take these differences into account when reading the test results and they'll ask for additional testing if they don't feel that the proper diagnosis can be put. Individuals shouldn't be afraid of taking these tests and be aware of the fact that finding out if they're predisposed or suffer from diabetes is better than not knowing because they can do something to either avoid or treat it.
There is a wide spectrum of treatments designed for people that suffer from diabetes. From the less effective to the ones that have increased chances of success, scientists have been focusing on finding a cure for these individuals. This is generated by the high number of cases. For instance, in the United States there are 17.9 million individuals that suffer from this condition which makes it the third largest number in the world. Furthermore, one in ten adults possesses type 2 diabetes and one in five hundred children suffers from it. Additionally there are more than three hundred million individuals in the world that have it and approximately eighty percent of deaths caused by it occur in low and middle-income countries.
As we've previously mentioned, a series of healthy lifestyle choices that include weight control, diet and exercise offer the foundation for preventing or managing diabetes. On the other hand, there are cases too evolved in which the lifestyle changes are insufficient for the person. In these situations, medication can represent an option. The existent list of medication designed for diabetes can be sometimes long and confusing and because of this, a visit to a personal doctor is mandatory. The medication can be categorized in oral medication and injectable medication. Most of these are efficient due to stimulating the insulin release. Some examples of oral medication include Glipzide, Repaglinide, Nateglinide, Saxaglioptine, Rosiglitazone, Arcabose, and Miglitol. On the same note, some injectable medications are Pramlintide, Exenatide, and Liraglutide. Before the decision to follow any type of medical treatment is taken, one should take into account the possible side-effects and immediately stop the usage if any occurs.
While some people are ok with taking medication, there are others who believe it's too risky for their organism and the negative effects are too high and prefer alternatives like dietary supplementation. These are generally based on a series of ingredients whose effects on glucose have been noticed throughout time, either based on tests or on people's testimonials. Some of these ingredients are Ginseng, Chromium, Magnesium, Zinc, Aloe Vera, Vanadium, and Gymnema. For instance, Ginseng works because it enhances blood sugar control and glycosylated hemoglobin levels. The glycosylated hemoglobin in the blood that monitors blood glucose levels over time.
While most natural treatments promise the customer a high rate of success, people should properly read the labels before purchasing any type of products and don't take everything for granted. It is important to look after remedies that have had good client testimonials, possess ingredients with few to no side-effects and drug interactions, and which don't have a bad taste or are difficult to swallow. If by any chance during the treatment, a person notices any type of unwanted side-effect, the treatment should be immediately stopped and avoid the product until the side-effect disappears. If it persists, a personal healthcare provider should be consulted. While these treatments may be effective for some, lifestyle changes are also needed to maximize its effects.

Q: Testing within a javascript closure Is it possible to unit test javascript functions that exist within a closure, so for example, given the following:
(function() {
  var a = function() {
    //do something
  }
  window.b =  function() {
    // do something else
  }
})();

Is it possible to unit test function a without exposing it? If not, is there a good way to expose a, but only in test mode?

A: Your anonymous function could take a parameter which would be undefined when not in test mode, and say this parameter would be an object, you could fill the object with a's without exposing a directly.
Just my .02$

A: The biggest question here is why do you want to keep it hidden?  The fact that you have this function a that you want to test is an indicator that a has a responsibility of its own that should be tested.  Pulling it out and getting it under test gains much more value when weighed against the minimal risk of exposing it.  If you really want to keep it hidden, then I'd suggest something similar to Manux's response where you create an object that does what a does but doesn't expose a directly.  Then you could test the behavior of a by testing that object.

A: Revisiting the question 4 years on, I now have a better solution.
Generate a testable version of your code as a build step.
Say I'm using Gulp to minify my JavaScript, and my code looks like this:
var a = function() {}
window.b = function() {}

Not the absence of a closure. Now I set up a gulp task and have it watch my code, like so:
gulp.task('js', function () {
  return gulp.src([dirs.js.src, '*.js'].join('/'))
    .pipe(wrap('(function() {\n<%= contents %>\n})();'))
    .pipe(jshint())
    .pipe(jshint.reporter('default'))
    .pipe(gulp.dest(dirs.js.dest));
});

This will wrap my code in the IIFE producing the following output:
(function() {
var a = function() {}
window.b = function() {}
)();

Generating the testable version
Now I add another Gulp task, like this
gulp.task('testJs', function () {
  return gulp.src([dirs.test.src, '*.js'].join('/'))
    .pipe(wrap(
      [
        '(function() {',
          '<%= contents %>',
          '// Smuggle locals out of closure for testing',
          'window.a = a;',
        '})();'
      ].join('\n')
    ))
    .pipe(concat(package.name + '.testable.js'))
    .pipe(gulp.dest(dirs.test.dest));
});

This will generate the following unsafe but testable code right in my test directory:
(function() {
var a = function() {}
window.b = function() {}
// Smuggle locals out of closure for testing
window.a = a;
)();

Add a watch task...
gulp.task('watch', function() {
  gulp.watch([dirs.js.src, '**', '*.js'].join('/'), ['js', 'testJs']);
});

...and you're done.

My favorites of the morning were the Roseate Spoonbills. There were at least seven nests, if I remember correctly, with several fledglings per nest. It was breakfast time and we had such fun watching the head-bobbing as the babies begged for food!
When I visited in March, the White Ibis were just beginning to move into the rookery. They had bright red beaks (their mating plumage) and they were starting to select their nest locations. Fast forward two months, and today there were dozens of White Ibis fledglings hopping around in the trees. They sure do grow up quickly! I love the striped beaks of the babies, which have already started to fade in these fledglings.
I was surprised to still see so many White Ibis in breeding colors, as most of the other species have already lost their bright colors. This guy flew by and Herman explained that "he's" actually a "she" – you can distinguish the females by the little pouches they have under their chins.
I missed the "tiny baby" stage for the Brown Pelicans. It's fairly uncommon for the pelicans to nest this far inland, so Herman is watching the nesting with interest. The picture below is of a juvenile, distinguished from his adult parents by his lack of white head.
We saw the Great Egrets that were tiny babies in March, now grown into adult-sized fledglings. They haven't figured out how to feed themselves yet, though. We watched as Mama fed them, and then after she left, they continued to search for leftover morsels in each others' mouths. Their antics are hilarious, and I still haven't figured out how so many chicks fledge without two punctured eyes!
I spotted a nest of fairly young Anhingas, and Herman took us closer so that I could get a better look. It's unusual to be able to get this close to wild birds! In another nest, this fledgling bird was starting to branch-hop. His mom was on the branch above his nest, and he didn't want to wait patiently in the nest with his siblings for their next feeding. So he scrambled up the bush, trying his hardest to reach his mom. Dyeyo laughed at him, telling him that he was going to get high enough that he wouldn't know how to get back to his nest!
I think Wood Storks hatch asynchronously, which would explain the difference in age between these guys. They were cute, perked up in their nest.

Q: Equal spacing in matrix I'm trying to create a matrix that has equal spacing between each of the columns, but so far I have not been very succesful. The code I'm using right now is
\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{amsmath}

\begin{document}

\begin{align}
U &= \begin{pmatrix}
    e^{\frac{i}{\hbar}|A|t} & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
    0 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
    0 & 0 & e^{-\frac{i}{\hbar}|A|t} & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
    0 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
    0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
    0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
    0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & e^{-\frac{i}{\hbar}|A|t} & 0 & 0\\
    0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 0\\
    0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & e^{\frac{i}{\hbar}|A|t}
\end{pmatrix}
\end{align}

\end{document}

This generates rather ugly output, with the columns containing the exponentials much wider than the others:

I suppose this is a very stupid and elementary question, but a quick search didn't get me anywhere sadly.

A: Done as a TABstack.  The package has a \fixTABwidth{T} option.  I've also increased the vertical spacing between lines slightly, to give a more balanced look.
\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{tabstackengine}
\stackMath

\begin{document}

\begin{equation}
\setstackgap{L}{1.1\baselineskip}
\fixTABwidth{T}
U = \parenMatrixstack{
    e^{\frac{i}{\hbar}|A|t} & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
    0 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
    0 & 0 & e^{-\frac{i}{\hbar}|A|t} & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
    0 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
    0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
    0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
    0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & e^{-\frac{i}{\hbar}|A|t} & 0 & 0\\
    0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 0\\
    0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & e^{\frac{i}{\hbar}|A|t}
}
\end{equation}

\end{document}

It is actually not a "very stupid and elementary question", as given by the many upvotes at this question: Writing a table with equally spaced columns, based on the widest column

A: Use of array to define a newcolumntype C with settowidth command to determine the widest element in the math array. Same notion is applicable in pmatrix case.  As a side note, the calc package provides \widthof{...} can  be an alternative too.

Code
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath,calc}
\usepackage{array}                                              % http://ctan.org/pkg/array

\newcolumntype{C}[1]{>{\centering\arraybackslash$}m{#1}<{$}}
\newlength{\mycolwd}                                         % array column width
\settowidth{\mycolwd}{$e^{-\frac{i}{\hbar}|A|t}$}% "width" of $e^{-\frac{i}{\hbar}|A|t$; largest element in array
\begin{document}
\begin{equation}
B=\left [
\begin{array}{*{9}{@{}C{\mycolwd}@{}}}
   e^{\frac{i}{\hbar}|A|t} & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
    0 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
    0 & 0 & e^{-\frac{i}{\hbar}|A|t} & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
    0 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
    0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
    0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
    0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & e^{-\frac{i}{\hbar}|A|t} & 0 & 0\\
    0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 0\\
    0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & e^{\frac{i}{\hbar}|A|t}
\end{array}
\right ]
\end{equation}

\settowidth{\mycolwd}{$e^{-\frac{i}{\hbar}|A|t}$}
\newcommand\w[1]{\makebox[\mycolwd]{$#1$}}

\begin{align}
B &= \begin{pmatrix}
    e^{\frac{i}{\hbar}|A|t} & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
    0 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
    0 & 0 & e^{-\frac{i}{\hbar}|A|t} & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
    0 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
    0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & \w1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
    0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0  & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
    0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & e^{-\frac{i}{\hbar}|A|t} & 0 & 0\\
    0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 0\\
    0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & e^{\frac{i}{\hbar}|A|t}
\end{pmatrix}
\end{align}

\end{document}

A: You can pad the columns with something like this (but if you make it this wide, the equation number moves down a line)
\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{amsmath}

\newcommand\w[1]{\makebox[2.5em]{$#1$}}

\begin{document}

\begin{align}
U &= \begin{pmatrix}
    e^{\frac{i}{\hbar}|A|t} & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
    0 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
    0 & 0 & e^{-\frac{i}{\hbar}|A|t} & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
    0 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
    \w0 & \w0 & \w0 & \w0 & \w1 & \w0 & \w0 & \w0 & \w0\\
    0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
    0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & e^{-\frac{i}{\hbar}|A|t} & 0 & 0\\
    0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 0\\
    0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & e^{\frac{i}{\hbar}|A|t}
\end{pmatrix}
\end{align}

\end{document}

A: The environment {pNiceMatrix} of nicematrix has tools designed to address that kind of problem.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{nicematrix}

\begin{document}

\begin{equation}
\setlength{\arraycolsep}{0pt}
U = \begin{pNiceMatrix}[columns-width=auto]
    e^{\frac{i}{\hbar}|A|t} & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
    0 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
    0 & 0 & e^{-\frac{i}{\hbar}|A|t} & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
    0 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
    0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
    0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
    0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & e^{-\frac{i}{\hbar}|A|t} & 0 & 0\\
    0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 0\\
    0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & e^{\frac{i}{\hbar}|A|t}
\end{pNiceMatrix}
\end{equation}

\end{document}

A: With a recent version of the array package you can do as follows, using the w{c}{<length>} column type:
\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{amsmath,array}

\makeatletter
\newenvironment{fwpmatrix}[2][\arraycolsep]
 {%
  \left(
  \settowidth{\dimen@}{$#2$}%
  \setlength{\arraycolsep}{#1}%
  \let\@ifnextchar\new@ifnextchar
  \hskip -\arraycolsep
  \array{ *{\value{MaxMatrixCols}}{w{c}{\dimen@}} }
 }
 {%
  \endarray
  \hskip -\arraycolsep
  \right)
}
\makeatother

\begin{document}

\begin{equation}
U = \begin{fwpmatrix}[-2pt]{e^{-\frac{i}{\hbar}|A|t}}
    e^{\frac{i}{\hbar}|A|t} & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
    0 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
    0 & 0 & e^{-\frac{i}{\hbar}|A|t} & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
    0 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
    0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
    0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
    0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & e^{-\frac{i}{\hbar}|A|t} & 0 & 0\\
    0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 0\\
    0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & e^{\frac{i}{\hbar}|A|t}
\end{fwpmatrix}
\end{equation}

\begin{equation}
\begin{fwpmatrix}{e^{-\frac{i}{\hbar}|A|t}}
e^{-\frac{i}{\hbar}|A|t} & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & e^{-\frac{i}{\hbar}|A|t} \\
0 & e^{-\frac{i}{\hbar}|A|t} & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\
0 & 0 & e^{-\frac{i}{\hbar}|A|t} & 0 & 0 & 0 \\
0 & 0 & 0 & e^{-\frac{i}{\hbar}|A|t} & 1 & 1
\end{fwpmatrix}
\end{equation}

\end{document}

The mandatory argument is the widest entry, the optional argument sets \arraycolsep. In the first case, where there are no adjacent columns with the widest entry, it makes sense to use a negative \arraycolsep, which is not the case for the second example.

Stop attacks on journalists doing their job at Sabarimala
Still from WCC introductory video
NWMI (Network of Women in Media, India) extends its unstinting support to the Women in Cinema Collective (WCC) of the Malayalam film industry in its relentless crusade to seek justice for a Malayalam actor who was sexually assaulted in February 2017. WCC has been fighting against the apathy of the Association of Malayalam Movie Artistes (AMMA) in Kerala, that has reinstated actor Dileep who is accused of masterminding the assault on the survivor (Dileep was suspended from AMMA following his arrest last year but was arbitrarily reinstated when he got out on bail this year).
While NWMI had already expressed its solidarity with WCC earlier, the need to reaffirm support has cropped up recently, in the context of the unacceptable bout of male aggression unleashed at the WCC press conference held at Ernakulam Press Club on October 13, 2018.
We are shocked at the utter insensitivity and hostility with which some of our journalist colleagues in Kerala confronted the group of women artistes addressing the media, knowing that these women have bravely shouldered a responsibility that civil society as a whole should have taken on.
The press conference had been called to discuss the existing assault case but half a dozen male journalists present began demanding fresh revelations. They went to the extent of bullying the WCC members, shouting that their "fight against AMMA" was futile if they refused to name more offenders and bring up newer cases, as though the fight against sexual harassment is a variety entertainment show.
We wish those in charge of news organisations would take serious note of the negative image that such reporters bring to the journalistic profession. Indeed, we distance ourselves from these rotten apples in the barrel.
We cannot but reassert that we are firmly with the rape survivor and the women spending their time and energy to get justice for her. We stand shoulder to shoulder with these champions of women's rights in their cause to end patriarchy in film and media.
Meanwhile, NWMI welcomes the announcement by actor Rima Kallingal and director-producer Aashiq Abu that an Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) will be formed at their production house, OPM Cinemas, as per the stipulations of the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013. This initiative is an important step forward in the bid to create gender equality and a woman-friendly work culture in the Malayalam film industry, and will hopefully serve as a useful template for film industries in the rest of the country.

Kalamazoo, MI — As part of his ever-mystifying journey as a writer, Andy Mozina cleaned out his home office in preparation for new work.
Since returning galleys a year ago for his first novel, Contrary Motion, Mozina has injured himself in an ill-fated ATV celebration, promoted his novel on radio and TV, performed several public readings, compulsively checked the novel's sales rank on Amazon, and hovered over his email waiting for prizes and invitations. Now, he says, he's ready to write something again, and to prove it he's been spending several days cleaning his office.
Mozina spoke with this reporter while taking a break from disposal duty. He sat on his front porch knitting a cape for his newborn niece with teal and magenta yarn. Visible through the dumpster's open gate were several badly charred stuffed animals, a metal sculpture in the shape of the anarchy symbol, a rolling rack of terry cloth bathrobes in primary colors, hundreds of empty hand sanitizer dispensers, and a badly defaced life-size wooden statue of a man Mozina cryptically said "could be the devil"—among other items.
What's next for the mid-list iconoclast?
Mozina smiled to himself. "The creative juices are already flowing," he said, lifting the incipient cape for inspection.


SOON - The lion looked straight at me!
Lions are more dangerous in the morning than at any other time of the day." I learned lessons like this, not at school, but in the evenings around the fire in my village. Many years ago in my village, the young people sat around the wood fire every evening, to listen to stories told by our grandparents. Some were old stories that our grandparents learned from their grandparents. These stories were always interesting. No young person wanted to miss them. We learned many useful things too, especially how to stay safe when we were out in the bush. "Your life depends on how you follow what we say," the older people told us.
One day I was walking home from school through the bush. I followed the rules that I had learned by the fireside – watching and listening carefully as I went along. Suddenly, far away to my right, I saw the grass shaking. Whatever the animal was, it was coming nearer to me. We would meet on the path if I was not careful. I knew it was a large animal because a big area of grass was shaking.
I was sure that the animal knew I was there. It began moving more quickly. Things were happening fast and I needed to think faster or it would attack me.
I quickly left the path and stood still, as though I was a tree in the thick grass. The animal came to the place where I had been a few seconds earlier. It was big, with a bushy head. I had seen a lion – a dead one – once before, so I knew this was a male lion. It looked strong and showed no sign of fear. The great animal squatted down on the path, looking straight at me. His nose was sniffing the air. I was sure he could see and smell me.
I do not know how long the lion sat there. Thoughts were turning round fast in my mind! Then I remembered some words that I learned at school. Jesus Christ said, "I will do anything you ask of my father in my name … If you ask anything in my name, I will do it." * I remembered that lesson very well. I started to talk quietly to Jesus. All that time I was looking straight at the lion. I did not close my eyes, even for a second. I was petrified.
At last, the lion slowly stood up. It moved as if it was coming towards me, then it walked past. Yet it must have smelled that I was there. It must have seen me!
As soon as the lion left, I started to run back to my school as fast as I could. I made sure that my feet did not make any noise. As I got near to the school, I stopped and looked around. Was the lion chasing me? No, I was alone. Then I must have fainted. The next thing I knew, something was shaking me hard. Was it the lion? I jumped up, shouted and tried to free myself from the mouth of the hungry lion. But no, it was my father who had found me beside the path.
But how did my father come to be there? He told me, "I heard that lions are in our area. Last night, they killed two cows in a nearby village." Because he knew I would be coming home from school that day for a holiday, he had taken his old bicycle and a large knife, and come to meet me.
"Follow me back home," he said. The two of us walked together, passing the place where I had met with the lion. My footprints and those of the lion were there in the grass. I know that it was Jesus who had saved me from the powerful lion.

Latin American Presidents Love Twitter - And That's Not A Good Sign
The Conversation The Conversation

The Conversation Global's series, Politics in the Age of Social Media, examines how governments around the world rely on digital tools to exercise power.
Latin American democracy was born with an original sin: income inequality - the highest in the world. Thus it was that the region's democratic institutions originated in a context of severe social exclusion and poverty.
The US-style Madisonian model of democracy implemented across the region as its prevailing dictatorships ended in the 1980s - characterised by general elections, separation of powers, built-in checks and balances and civil control of the armed forces - did not match most Latin American nations' cultural identities.
That disconnect left significant gaps in governments' ability to connect with and serve their people. Though democracy in Latin America is young, these fundamental structural problems have remained unsolved for 30 years, and they partially explain the region's numerous current socio-political crises, from Brazil and Venezuela to Mexico.
In response, Latin American presidents are inventing new ways to exercise leadership - namely, via social media. By 2014, the region had the world's highest use of social media use by politicians.
Fill the vacuum (and the airwaves)
In the crowded Twittersphere, the presidents of Venezuela and Ecuador are standouts - both for their large followings and continuous activity.
Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro, for instance, has over three million followers. His account exhibits his entire presidential platform, daily commitments, and "personal" relationships with constituents, from messages railing against the Organisation of American States to the unveiling of public works.
Ecuador's Rafael Correa, who in 2014 was the third-most prolific politician on Twitter (after the leaders of Uganda and Rwanda), has a similarly broad audience. Currently, his account is full of opinions on the country's current presidential election. But an episode of the podcast Radio Ambulante recounts how Correa once trolled an Ecuadorian citizen on Twitter after he posted a critical Facebook comment.
Both Maduro and Correa frequently appear on television reading the tweets they've received, mentioning by name - for better or for worse - those who've sent them messages. The citizen, who is now also the spectator, in turn feels he has been served, made part of the political game, become visible.
Twitter is not only the purview of the political Left. Conservative former Colombian president Alvaro Uribe used social media while in office, as does the country's current president, Juan Manuel Santos.
Argentina's Mauricio Macri is a Snapchat fan; it forms part of his official communications strategy).
The president of Venezuela, trolling a Twitter troll on television.
A governance crisis
Politics is not just about running the government, it's also about creating opportunities for citizens to realise their aspirations. Because Latin American democracy was, in most cases, rolled out without a robust consultative process, decent education system or a plan to address structural poverty, it's systematically exclusionary.
The silenced voices of the rural poor, indigenous communities, women and those unable to read, were not heard or considered when creating and implementing public policies. As a result, governments today struggle to respond to the demands of many social sectors.
There are two ways to fill this gap. The first is suppression via the use of force. Though this is fairly common in Latin America, as an official policy it undermines state legitimacy.
The other option is to create new mechanisms for state-society relations. Latin American leaders, then, are using social media to engage with the electorate because their democratic institutions - fragile and insufficient - are not able to effectively receive, process and address citizen demands.
This direct communication redefines the governor-governed relationship, creating an imagined social interaction in which the political leader is "bound" to his subject by virtue of recognising a tweet. With Twitter, the ordinary person may believe that she has sent a message directly to a person in power, informing them of something they did not know. She may feel less anonymous, more emboldened and capable of navigating the complexities of government bureaucracy.
But Twitter engagement is not (re)constructing republic-style citizenship in Latin America. Rather, it is building an artificial relationship derived from the notion that power dynamics between citizens and politicians have been eliminated.
Direct digital interlocution with a president creates what Polish sociologist and philosopher Zygmunt Bauman would call a false sense of community.
This process also implies clientelism, turning presidents into patrons and citizens into clients. Most Tweets and Facebook messages to Latin American leaders are petitions or requests - people asking the all-powerful leader to fix problems with public services or provide financial assistance.
Perverse mechanisms, broken system
The problem is that the way this works undermines the legitimate mechanisms of government. Making the masses dependent on digital communication with a specific leader leaves existing institutional dynamics and control mechanisms entirely out of the process.
When a crime is reported to the president, what role have the courts? When the president learns that a sewer is leaking, who tells the municipal government? The internet enables dialogue and personalises discourse, but it does not in itself have the capacity to resolve people's problems.
Social media as a political mechanism also carries other risks for governance. The excess of information transiting on social media and the difficulty of verifying its validity can distort public opinion and, according to research, negatively affect the ability of decision-makers to assess challenges.
We must also consider that decision makers (like many of us) tend to hear what they want to and ignore the rest. So beyond their administration's principle concerns, leaders may be interested in how many people follow them, but not necessarily in fixing what ails their followers.
Hence, Maduro can seemingly overlook the fact that thousands of Venezuelans are fleeing the country. At the end of the day, his virtual audience remains intact and his TV show still beams out to millions of viewers every Sunday.
Latin America's #Twitterpoliticking trend might be an entertaining curiosity if it didn't so clearly reveal the fundamental weakness of the region's democracies. This failing stems from political systems founded on inequality, social exclusion, illiteracy and elitism. And it's not something social media can fix.

Only Way is Essex as Port Gets a Multimodal Boost with Short Sea Freight Grant
Anglo Spanish Logistics Trade Boost Means Less Truck Kilometres
UK – Spain – The eyes of the ocean freight community are firmly on Essex at the moment with the ongoing development at DP World's London Gateway River Thames container port well under way and earlier this month the neighbouring Port of Tilbury received a boost when it announced jointly with the Port of Bilbao that it has been awarded a 'Motorways of the Sea' grant by the European Commission for the IBUK – Intermodal Corridor project. Working closely together since 2011 to submit a funding application to the EU for the grant, the two ports aim to reduce congestion between the Iberian Peninsula and the UK by removing trucks from the roads of Western and Southern Europe and onto a more efficient multimodal logistics corridor. The application is also based on the development of short sea shipping between Spain and the Britain and the increased efficiency and volume of freight from the Iberian Peninsula to the UK.
It has been estimated that over 225 million kilometres will be removed from road to short sea over a fifteen year period with the aim of eliminating existing bottlenecks within the current road freight route between Spain and the UK. The estimated total cost of the project is nearly €31.2 million, of which funding is being granted of approximately €7.3 million between Tilbury and Bilbao. Tilbury will get an expected total of €4,266,280 in grant funding. The Motorways of the Sea programme is financially managed by the TEN-T Executive Agency (which also provided £12.7 million in funding for the dredging to ensure deepwater channels in the Thames for the DP World project) and the latest project must be completed by the end 2014 to qualify for the full funding. Perry Glading, Chief Operating Officer of Forth Ports, owners of the Port of Tilbury, said:
"We are delighted the Port of Tilbury has been awarded this important funding. This recognises the growing importance of developing Motorways of the Sea connections between the Iberian Peninsula and the UK. This substantial award will see further development of our short sea container operations within London Container Terminal over the next 2 years as well as achieving a modal shift from road to sea and improving overall efficiencies in the supply chains between the two countries."
The Port of Tilbury is the first port in the UK to be successful in securing this grant funding which will see major investment at both Tilbury and Bilbao. At Tilbury the grant will allow container terminal redevelopment including new cranes, straddle carriers, a new bespoke IT system and surfacing work. In Bilbao the funding will be used for a rail head expansion connecting an inland rail terminal, 120 kilometres from the port, allowing the transfer of cargo to the Port, and investment in new IT systems. Jointly the ports will develop the IT systems that will allow for advanced transfer of information between the two ports and parties interested in the transfer of the cargo between the two ports.

Think too much? | . . Life of Pi . .
People are funny creatures. We are the only creation of God that has free will and action on thought. All other living beings survive on instinct, the behavioral conditioning of their species. Humans are different, we were given the gift of thought, reasoning and stupidity. Instead of acting on instinct every single time, we are able to choose first whether to act on that instinct or not. If you Pavlov your dog to pee every time he heard a bell, he would for the rest of his life ,if properly trained, pee every time he heard a bell. A bunny will perk his ears if he hears something rustling nearby and will hop the f away if he feels endangered. It's in their genes to do X when Y happens and they will do it. For people, whether it's a gift or curse, we can choose to do everything and anything between A to Z of Y happens. Why do you think girls keep going out with bad boys even though they'd gotten hurt by the last 5 bad boys. Or why some guys constantly find themselves poor after falling for diggers everytime. "Oh she's different." People are idiots.
One of the cons in my mind of this supposedly gift of conscience and choice is that sometimes we just think way too much. Once something is done, it is done and no amount of dwelling or wishing will change what is done. I always say "If you can do something about it, do it. If you can't, don't dwell." Forget wasting time thinking of the could haves. Be like Tiger, just do it. And if you can't do it, move on and revisit when you can but don't waste time sitting there crying about it. If you do that, you'll do nothing else but cry over spilt dairy.*Sigh* I try to tell myself that as I lay awake for the 5th consecutive night, underslept and overthought, dwelling. While I'm guilty of not following my own advice, if I tell myself that it's a waste of time enough times, I'll eventually snap out of it and move onto more productive things better worth my time. 'Did I do well on that interview, Did I get the job, Oh man I should have said this instead of that, I should have this and that…' 'Should I call her? Man she pissed me off though and it's not what I want but what if. What if this and that. I said I'd do that, and it makes sense to, but what if…' Time is best wasted flip flopping. More times than not, your first gut decision is the right one and for whatever reason you made that choice is the best logical and emotional one. Now I'm not saying thinking is bad. You have to weigh out all your options and possible paths and make the best go-forward plan, but for Christmas's sake, don't change your mind more than once unless new options and paths pop up. If you're flip flopping between the same points more than 2 times, you're now obsessing. And obsessing is not attractive.
One of the strengths of powerful and successful people is the ability to make a decision and stick with it. All leaders have this trait to be able to confidently decide the best possible path, choose to go down it and see it through to the end. Of course making changes along the way is good as new things come up, but those decisions to change are still followed through until new things pop up and until they do, no more thought is put into it. So many times I've found myself lost in thought of decisions I'd already made. I would lay in bed thinking and driving myself crazy over more things that could have happened instead of focusing on what I should make happen. People are funny creatures. Even though we know what we're doing is detremental and hazardous to our forward moving, better productive psyche, we sometimes just don't care and keep doing it anyways.
You are a deep human bean. You must have done a lot of thinking to write this. 🙂 Hehe how ironic.

Police have brought down a band of criminals who manipulated cash machines to trap credit cards and steal thousands.
The fraudsters used a method known as the 'Lebanese trap' in which they tampered with cash machine card slots to make people think their cards had been swallowed, police sources said.
And the cards were then intercepted by the criminals along with the pin numbers swindled by placing mobile phones in strategic positions.
The con men would then go to another bank's ATM to empty the accounts.
The group's operations were organised and spanned Alicante, Castellon, Murcia, Granada, Tarragona and Girona provinces.
Agents from different units had to be deployed to keep tabs on the gang – said to be of Romanian origin – because of their widespread coverage.
The entire gang has now been tumbled after its leader and three other members were arrested on charges of criminal organisation, fraud and damages.
Investigators have evidence of criminals using the 'Lebanese trap' at least 25 times to steal a value of €30,000.

I am not good enough
Photo: ACasualPenguin/Pixabay
If you have a heart that beats and you're over the age of two, you've likely had the thought "I am not good enough" at least once in your life. Most of us are visited quite often by this thought, or one of her sisters: "I don't know enough," "There's not enough time," "I don't fit in," and "There's something wrong with me."
When we believe these thoughts to be true, when we believe that we are somehow less than, flawed, or damaged, we forget all about the wholeness that we are. It feels far away and frankly unbelievable. In our minds, it may sound something like, "Me? I am whole? But I feel so broken... so imperfect... so limited!"
But wholeness is not for the mind to comprehend. If you have a heart that beats and you're of any age at all, you are whole. You're wholeness itself. It is your nature.
Feelings of brokeness show up in the wholeness that you are. Feelings and thoughts of imperfection and lack show up in the perfect wholeness that you are. Beliefs that you are somehow damaged or no good arise and dissolve in the vast, luminous, and peaceful wholeness that you are.
Are you curious about this wholeness? Do you want to experience it for yourself again and again? Do you wish to have such an intimate relationship with wholeness that it reminds you that it's here, that you are ok, that everything is alright, like a good ol' friend? Are you tired of "not good enough" thoughts filling your head? Are you tired of aches and pains in the body that fool your mind into believing that this body is really all there is to you?
If it's a yes to any of these questions, I invite you to join me in inquiring into wholeness. While the in-person version of the new Wholeness I Am: Yoga Nidra Study Group has filled, there is still room and time to join online. The recordings from each live session are uploaded monthly, and you can leave your questions, comments, and reflections on the private webpage. Learn more @ shiraozsinai.com/wholeness-i-am.
To experience the first few minutes of the Study Group as well as a brief practice with wholeness (9 minutes long), please enjoy the FREE recording below of the opening words and meditation from the first session of Wholeness I Am: Study Group. Enjoy!
Want more? Register now @ shiraozsinai.com/wholeness-i-am.
May all beings intimately know the interconnected wholeness that we are,

Georgian style Architecture
In the historic Baltimore neighborhood of Bolton Hill, 1530 Bolton St. is part of a group of five three-story townhouses of formal Georgian-style architecture.
The home, like the identical properties on either side of it, showcases its original 1920 arched front entrance and windows. It is on the market for $639, 500.
The home's interior exudes the same sophistication as its solid brick exterior.
"What I love most about the house … is the fact that its original grand spaces and charm are still intact, " said listing agent Kate Barnhart, with Henslee Conway Real Estate. "It still has all the grand details [such as] crown molding and three sets of pockets doors. Unfortunately, that's increasingly rare with so many big rowhomes being turned into apartments."
A vestibule opens to a hall, off of which is the formal living room. Beyond that, before reaching the formal dining room, a large reception hall sits at the foot of a winding staircase.
The home's large and renovated French country-style kitchen is equipped with appliances that include an imported Lacanche French range. A family room is adjacent to the kitchen.
Three bedrooms are on the second floor, along with two full bathrooms. An additional three bedrooms and one full bathroom are on the third level. There are 9-foot ceilings throughout the 4, 320-square-foot home.
"This is an amazing house with great functionality, " Barnhart said. "Every room has a purpose."
