Style Encore: Resale of Clothes is Always in Season!
Goodbye, summer. Hello, fall. The transition to a new season always brings a measure of excitement! We pack away the shorts, cute sundresses, and t-shirts of summer, in favor of the sweaters, denim, and boots of fall. While it's an opportune time to clean out the closet, it's a task many look to with dread. However, thanks to Style Encore, a premier clothing and accessory resale store in Winston-Salem, the transition of one wardrobe to another can be fun. Dare we even say…. easy? Especially if you take into account that the simple act of cleaning out one's closet and driving to the conveniently located Style Encore, means cash on the spot for your gently used clothing, shoes, accessories, and handbags? Yes, please! And the ever-fabulous Shannon Kemp, owner of Style Encore, is ready to help.
Recycle Your Style and Personalize Your Shopping Experience!
Style Encore buys and sells gently used women's clothing, shoes, accessories, and handbags. They accept and sell for all seasons, all day, every day – no appointment is ever necessary. Style Encore purchases a wide variety of women's business and casual styles and brands, in sizes 0-4x, which have sold in retail stores in the last few years and are in excellent condition. On the shopping side, gently used items in the store are sold at 50-70% off of retail pricing, making it an affordable place to update your wardrobe without damaging your wallet.
Style Encore also purchases handbags and wallets, including designer lines such as Kate Spade, Michael Kors, and Coach, as well as fashion bags. The two large handbag walls in the store are a popular destination for many shoppers.
Shannon was drawn to make this career change because she was inspired by the fact that this brand is "by women, for women." The foundation of the business model empowers not only the owners, but ultimately, the shoppers, which is something that deeply resonated with Shannon.
Since opening in May 2014, Shannon has enjoyed working with women who come to the store looking for a new outfit for a job interview or a whole new wardrobe for a promotion, or something to wear on a first date! "I love helping them find a fabulous look at a great price!" she shares.
As a wife and mother to three kids, Shannon is a busy woman! She works hard to strike a balance. The house rule is that the phone and computer must be put away during certain hours, which is challenging since social media and email are running 24 hours a day! Like many working women, Shannon tries to do it all. "I'm constantly reminding myself to focus on the balance between work and home. It helps that Mike and I are in this together!
This is a unique business model that has quickly gained popularity within the Triad. Great fashions at a fraction of the cost and cash on the spot? It's no wonder that in less than two years' time, Style Encore is already a local favorite.

What Holds Me Back From Clojurescript
javascript,
clojurescript,
I've expressed multiple times that I really want to get into clojurescript, but I keep running into barriers.
My background: I'm an experienced JS dev, and for my personal projects I use the latest & greatest of React, Flow, Babel, and Webpack, which makes for a pretty rocking experience. Given my background, lots of my hesitation could just be the fact that staying in my comfort zone of javascript is easy, though it may be far less simple than the experience provided by clojurescript.
By the end of this post, I hope I will have convinced myself to face my fears and dive into clojurescript anyway :D
What draws me to clojurescript?
immutable all the data
functional to the core
om/next
But what holds me back?
startup time is a bear
user-hostile error messages
immature tooling
no good story for type checking
This is really what keeps drawing me back to clojure(script): realy awesome talks from clojure conj & other clojurey conferences, both about difficult real-world problems and interesting/fun/playful problems. And I keep thinking "I want to be a part of that." Also, Rich Hickey's talks are fantastic.
From what I've seen, the community is still small enough to be pretty cohesive, and there are lots of helpful people on irc and slack.
vs Javascript
Javascript has a larger and necessarily much less cohesive community. This can be nice in that almost every error you encounter will have a Stack Overflow question + answer. That said, there are so many stackoverflow results about javascript (from so many different eras of js dev) that it can be really difficult to determine what is current best practice.
Having data be immutable frees up a lot of my complexity budget and enables great functional paradigms across the board.
In javascript, everything is mutable, but w/ new es7 spread/rest syntax it is increasingly easy to just do immutable anyway. E.g. instead of myobj.x = newx you can do myobj = {...myobj, x: newx} and everything is immutable & persistant!
And for more data-heavy situations where that breaks down, I can always switch to mori or immutable.js, albeit with significant disadvantages from syntax & interop.
The fact remains however that javascript, at it's core, is designed around mutability, and clojurescript is designed around immutability. This has many design, mindset, and culture implications that are not to be underestimated.
Clojurescript, as a lisp, gets a number of advantages automatically when it comes to handling data cleanly and concisely. Things like the threading macro, conj, partial application and more end up defining the feel of the language as well as idioms and best practices. From the brief stints that I've spent in clojure-land, I've come to really appreciate them & miss them when I'm in javascript or another imperative languages.
Something like trine might do quite nicely, along with some as-yet very experimental language features (that can nonetheless be used with abandon via babel).
On the other hand, all those little helpers land you with a long list of things to memorize, with their own little tricks and gotchas (I recently spent way too long bugfighting before realizing that map's return value is a lazy sequence). But is it complex, or simply unfamiliar? I put together a bunch of quizlet flashcards to try and overcome this barrier.
Om was pretty neat when it came out, but it looks like om/next has set out to solve all our problems forever :D, at least relating to client-side state management. David Nolen is a really clever guy, and I really want what om/next promises. We'll see how that pans out.
Relay and Falcor are really interesting, but are focused on the "server communication" part of the puzzle, leaving the rest of the client-side state up to you. Redux maybe comes closest to om/next, although it just provides a small subset of the functionality. Another possibility is to (just) port om/next to javascript, maybe as a layer on top of redux...
I'm really intrigued by this approach to polymorphism, but I'll have to use it more to see how it compares. It feels a lot like swift's protocols or go's interfaces or rust's traits, which I find really useful.
These aren't really things you can bolt on post-hoc -- you really need language-level support for them. I can't imagine javascript having an equivalent, unless via some babel transform that did whole-program analysis + type inference...
Macros also look cool...
But I haven't used them enough to give a real review. In rust I mostly use macros to get around limitations (mine or the compiler's) surrounding types & lifetimes.
SweetJS looks really awesome, and there are plans to integrate well with babel, but clojurescript still wins from a community + mindset perspective.
Clojure Startup time
Twitter tells me that this doesn't end up being a huge problem, but it's always a huge drag when I try to get started.
$ time lein help
lein help  1.62s user 0.24s system 104% cpu 1.785 total
$ time boot help
boot help  11.56s user 0.70s system 278% cpu 4.395 total
$ time lein repl
> (ctrl-c as soon as prompt appears)
lein repl  5.65s user 0.44s system 78% cpu 7.801 total
Someone made an npm package with the bootstrapped clojurescript repl, which helps a lot:
$time cljs
cljs  0.95s user 0.13s system 79% cpu 1.361 total
Here's an in-depth look at clojure startup time. There's a long leinigen wiki page about ways to speed things up, which I haven't tried yet, and drip also looks promising.
$ time npm help
npm help  0.34s user 0.10s system 79% cpu 0.548 total
$ time node
node  0.10s user 0.01s system 20% cpu 0.543 total
Again, some on twitter say "it's not really a problem" :/ We'll have to see how it pans out.
In the little time I've spent with clojure(script), I've seen plenty of multiple-screen-long java tracebacks, which are completely bewildering. Certainly, if I had a background in java they wouldn't be nearly as foreign, but I don't think anyone would argue that they are 'simple'. I don't know what kind of effort is going into "nicer error messages" (elm is a great example of this), but if I ever dig into the clojure core system that's the first thing I'd look into.
Being compile-to-js in a js world means there's always going to be a bit of feature lag, but there are a lot of things I miss when trying to use clojurescript.
People talking about clojure(script) frequently shout from the rooftops about how awesome it is to have a repl, and I'm sure it's night & day when coming from java, c++, etc. But chrome devtools is way ahead of your cli repl (and even your editor-integrated repl) in a bunch of important ways, and you can't use clojurescript in the devtools console.
The same is true for babel/es7+, but the problem is much less because es7+ is just a (fairly) light sprinkle on top of js, and data structures are all the same, etc. To call a clojurescript function from the console... I'm not even sure how to get a reference to a function when you're at a breakpoint (because names are so mangled).
Someone made a chrome extension to give you a tab that is a clojurescript repl, but it uses an external server for compilation and doesn't integrate into your project. If it integrated with figwheel (or could talk to an arbitrary nRepl) that would be a good start.
It's a great start that clojurescript has full sourcemap support, so you can generally see where you are in what file when you hit a breakpoint or throw an error, but there's still a lot to be desired. It's rather difficult (for me) to tell how to step through a clojurescript program -- when to step in & out in order to get where I want.
Also, in javascript, there's mostly just one and rarely more than three break-able expressions on a given line (such that hitting "next" would leave you on the same line). In clojurescript there is rarely just one break-able expression on a line, and more often several. Every time I try to navigate this it is frustrating.
The other big debugging issue is with value display & repl integration. When I'm at a breakpoint, it's really difficult to introspect values and actually understand what a given map contains, for example. Someone has a library that fixes this but it requires a chrome feature that's behind a flag in canary :/. I also want to be able to interact with the values at the console (see REPL section).
Core.typed generated a lot of excitement when it first showed up a few years ago, although circleci has since decided it wasn't worth it. It's based on racket's optional type checker, which I highly respect, so I was hoping to try it out on an example clojurescript project, but unfortunately compatability hasn't been maintained and it's broken for the latest version of clojurescript. But hopefully this will be fixed at some point.
The Google closure compiler (which cljs already uses extensively) has support for type checking, including inference and even generics, and there are some experiments around leveraging that in clojurescript. It remains to be seen whether it will prove a good experience. I'm a bit skeptical that it will be able to give really good error messages & hints when you have type errors though. It also doesn't support typing maps, which make up a large part of clojure data.
I had the chance to use Flow on a large-scale project (the React devtools rewrite) and I loved it! It can be added incrementally to a codebase, has great support for lots of javascript idioms, realy great inference, and a solid user experience (long-running server to fix wait times).
Clojurescript really has a lot of things going for it, and a lot of the issues I have are actively being worked on. I'm going to try using clojurescript + om/next for a fairly large personal project pretty soon and we'll see if I get hooked :)

CURRENT SITUATION AT UWC DILIJAN COLLEGE
The Board of Governors of UWC Dilijan College has a clear model for its further development.
Over the past several years the Board and administration have worked hard to establish the College as a leading educational institution in the region. UWC Dilijan has already become a beacon of excellence in the Caucasus. In considering the next phase in the development of the School several models have been reviewed by the School's Board of Governors. A model has been chosen which further integrates the School within its Armenian context and the broader aims and functioning of the IDeA and RVVZ Foundations[1], including in its operations.

Chris Brown barred from leaving Philippines because of contract dispute
Chris Brown has been barred from leaving the Philippines because of a contract dispute, the official Philippines News Agency reported Wednesday.
Chris was stopped Wednesday morning while preparing to depart on a private jet from Manila's international airport on his way to Hong Kong for a concert, the news agency said.
The Philippine Department of Justice said that an order had been issued Tuesday night to stop any attempts by Brown, 26, to leave the country.
Brown performed a concert that evening as planned, but the order was put in place to compel him to pay back money that promoters said was owed to them after he failed to appear for a previous appearance scheduled for last New Year's Eve.
That concert was supposed to take place at the Philippine Arena in Bulacan, north of Manila.
The Bureau of Immigration said Brown and his promoter John Michael Pio Roda were both subject to an immigration lookout bulletin, but they could seek a clearance certificate that could allow them to leave if the Department of Justice consented.

diglloydTools Utility Suite for Mac OS X: DiskTester, MemoryTester, IntegrityChecker - Ensure maximum, trouble free performance, and data integrity with this power set of tools.
DiskTester is performance testing software for your hard drives and solid state drives, especially RAID. DiskTester will tell you how your drives are performing, force the drive to map out bad sectors, and help flush out problems. DiskTester can also recondition an SSD quickly and conveniently.
MemoryTester enables you to stress-test your memory and Mac before you put it into "production" use. It helps prove that the machine and memory are reliable. No other tool can push the machine to its limits like MemoryTester can.
IntegrityChecker enables you to verify your files and backups, detecting even single-bit errors. With IntegrityChecker, you can be sure that the files you have copied, backed-up or restored are perfect, even years later.
The recondition command brings your solid state drive (SSD) back up in performance.
The run-streams command helps video users determine if their hardware can support multiple video streams.
DiskTester can also be used for testing digital camera cards, network performance, or comparing single-drive performance with SATA, FireWire and USB. Its sophisticated testing approach offers the most consistent and reliable results available on the Mac today.
DiskTester is a 64-bit application that requires 10.6 Snow Leopard or OS X 10.7 Lion or OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion or OS X 10.9 Mavericks.
Use MemoryTester on a new computer to "burn in" your computer and make sure your memory, CPU, motherboard and cooling systems are all functioning properly under load.
Use MemoryTester after you add more RAM to your computer to make sure the RAM is good.
Use MemoryTester if your computer is behaving strangely or exhibiting instability to narrow down the cause.
Use MemoryTester to measure scalability performance with CPU cores.
"There is no other tool that will stress test your Mac® like MemoryTester can. If your Mac passes an extended test, you can have a high degree of confidence that the memory and Mac are reliable."
MemoryTester is a 64-bit application that requires 10.6 Snow Leopard or OS X 10.7 Lion or OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion or OS X 10.9 Mavericks.

This episode of Sound of the Ages is the first of a two-part series about the history and cultural influences of rock music. This episode will take the listener from when rock and roll first began to evolve out of jazz music in the 1930s all the way through the rockabilly era in the early 1960s.
Nothing bad to say! This is a fantastic program! The content is amazing, the background music is perfect, and the clips are set to the perfect volume. Kudos to the writer and reporter!


Often when a buyer is considering Disaster Recovery, the biggest decision is around appetite to risk. Do you decided to take a risk and have a very simple backup and recovery option or do you fully protect your business and all of your IT assets and opt for a fully managed, guaranteed recovery time (RTO) option? A balance is made between the benefits and the price, and with strain on budgets continuing to be a trend for IT departments it's not surprising that many will be steered towards the riskier, lower cost options.
If you, like many, are in favour of better disaster recovery solutions for your business but struggling to justify it to the board, you may want to build a business case which isn't focussed on the sole requirement being based on a "disaster" scenario.
Proactive monitoring of your live systems, preventing IT failure and reducing the risks of IT downtime. Because Plan B replicates your IT systems and rebuilds them onto a separate cloud environment every 24 hours, and then tests them to application level, we see every error that manifests from your live system. In working through these and reporting them back to you, you can ensure that your live systems are healthy and error free, reducing the risk of failures occurring in the first place. Call it a preventative approach.
The ability to perform network maintenance without critical systems being down. A customer of ours who is a software provider recently had network maintenance planned over the weekend to minimise business interruption. They asked if we could run their website for them whilst this maintenance was carried out in order that they didn't lose any sales opportunities or communication with customers. Because we have a separate, independent copy of their systems we simply routed their DNS to point to our DR copy and their website continued to run seamlessly without any interruption.
The flexibility and protection afforded by having a virtual replica of your systems that is tested every 24 hours enables you to focus on running your business, knowing that your IT systems will always be available.
You might also benefit from our IT downtime calculator which will provide you with a cost justification for Disaster Recovery, calculating the average cost of IT downtime for a business like yours.
If you'd like to discuss Disaster Recovery for your business, or help justifying Disaster Recovery contact Plan B as we're always happy to have a friendly chat.


Salland Partners with MultiLane on SerDes Solutions – Salland Engineering (Europe) B.V.
Salland Engineering International, B.V. and MultiLane SAL are pleased to announced that they are entering into a partnership to serve the testing needs of the rapidly growing market for ultra-high speed serial communications. Salland will integrate MultiLane's high performance instruments into both their instruments product line as well as into their test applications services.
The market for 10G, 16G, 25G and faster SerDes applications is rapidly growing due to the increased bandwidth demanded by applications like system backplanes as well as cable and optical links like multi-gigabit Ethernet, optical networking, imaging interfaces, etc. Semiconductor chip manufacturers who provide such serial interfaces in their devices have unique challenges when it comes to characterizing and testing their products in high volume manufacturing. Speeds required may exceed the capabilities of existing automatic test equipment (ATE). Add-on instruments need to have the proper software interface to the ATE. Additionally, special mechanical considerations must be managed when interfacing load boards and devices to the testers.
Salland will deliver solutions based upon MultiLane's high performance, compact instruments that enable chip characterization and production testing of SerDes functions to be accomplished using existing ATE equipment, thereby minimizing expensive investment in new hardware. Salland will provide the manufacturing supply chain for the SerDes instruments and application support to integrate the high speed solutions into leading tester platforms like Teradyne, Verigy and LTXC and others. Customers may also benefit from these advanced capabilities when they outsource their test development work to Salland's test applications business unit.
"We have been impressed with the strong recommendations we have received from MultiLane's customers," stated Paul van Ulsen, CEO of Salland. "We wanted a partner with strong technical skills and expertise in SerDes technology, as well as a partner with a proactive attitude towards collaborating with us to offer well integrated solutions to our customers." Fadi Daou, CEO of MultiLane added, "Salland brings the ability to fully integrate our instruments into complete solutions for testing semiconductor devices used in ultra-high speed SerDes applications during high volume production testing. They have a strong, worldwide reputation for quality and support in their applications, software and instruments lines of business."

**Title:** DevOps vs. SRE: Fight! (wait, I mean Learn!)

**Description:**

Just within the last ten years (+-3), we have seen at least two separate communities evolve from the generic idea of Systems Administration/Operations. The first, DevOps, grew up very much in public, the second happened more within the halls of "special" companies like Google and Facebook and is only now starting to gain visibility and traction in the wider world. They have a number of priorities in common but also diverge in some very interesting ways. In this talk we'll explore the key things we can learn from each group and see what might happen if we cross the streams.

Q: How to hide header component in react-router-dom? I am having a React app like this one here I want to hide the global header component from page like Login and Signup. I can't find any approach for this in React-Router-v4 over internet. Could anybody please shed some light on me to proceed further?
const App = () => (
  <Router>

        <Route path="/" exact component={Home} />
        <Route path="/login" exact component={Login} />
        <Route path="/contact" component={Contact} />

        © Acme Inc. 2017

  </Router>
);

A: You can use withRouter Higher Order component to access props.location object in your App component and check if user is on login or signup page using props.location.pathname
keep in mind that you don't have to use withRouter component if your component in which you want to access props.match or props.location object is rendered by <Route/>
import {Route, withRouter} from 'react-router-dom'

const App  = (props) => {
return(
  <Router>

     {
      props.location.pathname!=='/login' ? :null
     }

        <Route path="/" exact component={Home} />
        <Route path="/login" exact component={Login} />
        <Route path="/contact" component={Contact} />

        © Acme Inc. 2017

  </Router>
)
};

export default withRouter(App);

A: If you simply want to hide/show the header based on the authorization status, then you can pass an object containing the authorization status to the Header component based on which it will render the menu items.
I've forked the demo here: https://codesandbox.io/s/pjyl9y17rx
Here I'm just passing a boolean value for authorization status, but you get the idea.
The other option to render a route based on the path is to use a regex in the path, which I believe is supported, going by this conversation:
https://github.com/ReactTraining/react-router/issues/391

A: I did this by importing useLocation hook in header component
const location = useLocation()

{
  location.pathname=='/signin' ? <Link to='/' >Back to Homepage</Link> :

...

       .
       .
       .

}

A: Here is another way you can hide it without using location
<Router>
              <Switch>
                <Route exact path="/login">
                  <LogIn />
                </Route>
                <Fragment>
                  <SideBar />

            <Route path="/" exact component={Home} />
            <Route path="/login" exact component={Login} />
            <Route path="/contact" component={Contact} />

            © Acme Inc. 2017

                </Fragment>
              </Switch>
            </Router>

In a twist on the wildly popular Tonight Show segment Classroom Instruments, the "No Tears Left To Cry" songstress, together with Fallon and The Roots performed the hit single using nothing but cardboard instruments. Taking full advantage of Nintendo's Labo Toy-Con garage mode, the group was able to recreate and perform the song in its entirety.
IGN sat down with The Tonight Show's Jimmy Fallon to get a behind the scenes look at "No Tears Left to Cry" with Nintendo Labo.
They're so fun and creative, and they're always thinking of another way to use video games.
When you have the Labo guitar, it's almost like a synthesizer... I can do anything with it.


Well it was with sadness I left Lunenburg as I had such a wonderful time at my Airbnb and visiting the surrounding area. It is an area that is just fantastic full of little hidden jems and people that are so friendly and seem to have time for one another which is so refreshing to see and be a part of for such a short time.
I left my hosts place on Saturday morning in bright sunshine ready to hit the trail at about 0930. After another of Jill's amazing breakfasts which were to die for (if I mentioned blueberry pancakes maple syrup and Canadian bacon with lovely tea, and fresh fruit) this would give you a flavour as to how my days started.
I decided on the way back to stick to the road some of the way just for the views and to avoid the uneven trail in some parts and this seemed to work well apart from some nice hills near Chester but all in a days cycling now.
Tourist info centre in down town Mahone Bay just so typical of the lovely buildings and so in keeping with the area.
Then it was on to Chester Basin which was pretty to be honest every bay had something different and made keeping my eyes on the road difficult.
I made about 69km the first day allowing me a very easy ride into Timberlea today which was all on the trail. Dale and Dorothy had cycled out from Halifax and waited for me to arrive at The Bike and Bean cafe on the trail so I had breakfast there and may I say the muffins were to die for it is such a fantastic cafe/bike shop great idea and very popular on a Sunday morning.
Dorothy and I on the trail later Dorothy took charge of Black Betty I believe Dale may now have to buy his wife a new saddle and possibly new handle bars and pedals? Black Betty may not be built for speed but she's like a well worn comfy armchair well loved.
So as I get ready to box the old gal up for her flight home in 3 weeks she has served me well and completed 7,055 km – problems 3 punctures and a new chain at Thunder Bay replaced as maintenance and her bottom bracket tightened twice. Tyres still have plenty wear and brakes pads have not been replaced. She will be lovely overhauled and serviced on my return to England.
Have I enjoyed myself you bet I have and would I do it all again,when do I start!!!
It's been amazing to follow Liz. Let's have a picture of Pete with you when he arrives.
Never mind about black bettys bottom bracket.


Emily has loved horses for as long as I can remember. She's been asking to go riding for some time now. I hesitated to get her involved because horseback riding can be pretty expensive. So we tried to get Emily interested in other sports, like karate or ballet. Nothing really stuck. She always came back to horses.
I found a nice little farm just 15 minutes away and we took Emily for her first horseback riding lesson on Saturday.
But she's a natural and did SO well!
The trainer, Heather, is a fantastic teacher. Emily will do very well with her. The horse, Arielle, is very sweet and gentle so that's a huge factor too.
It seemed like no time before Emily was riding the horse completely independently.
She learned how to turn the horse left and right, how to make the horse go, and how to stop the horse.
Heather also had Emily hold her arms out as an exercise in learning to keep her balance.
While Emily was having her lesson, the boys played and fed another horse, Finnigan, some grass. Lukey loved him.
I am so proud of my Emily. She did an amazing job. We are going to bring her for lessons every two weeks and I'm excited to see how she's going to do.
Emily didn't stop smiling once while she was riding Arielle. That was my favorite part of the day – seeing my little girl so happy.
Have you ever gone horseback riding? I've always wanted to learn and I'm thinking about taking a lesson or two myself. Wouldn't it be fun to have a mother-daughter day and go horseback riding together?
I know! It was totally worth it to see the huge smile on her face.
I took horseback riding as a kid and even did shows. It's a great lesson in compassion for other animals and it gives great cooperation and teamwork with your horse as well as confidence for herself. She will love it I am sure. My husband and I still go horseback riding just for fun sometimes. It's a great hobby and past time.
How fun! That's great to know – I never thought about the teamwork with the horse. Thanks for sharing, Renee!
Looks like a great stable! It's wonderful that you're starting her so young. My parents didn't cave in until I was quite a bit older and I still wish I'd have gotten into it at a younger age. Starting early has so many advantages!
Thanks, Lindsay. I do feel like she's at the perfect age. Do you still ride horses?


Starting a new job can be exciting and infuriating all at the same time. Everyone feels nervous when they are the "new guy" at work, especially when it's a new type of job all together. I started a new job at Perkins a few weeks ago. I started training as a hostess, but after only one week they decided to move me to server training because they needed new servers ASAP. This was extremely intimidating to me at first, I had only served in a drive-in before and that was almost four years ago!
Leading up to my first day I was having anxiety attacks about what to expect, how much training I would receive, how the kitchen worked, and even little things like how to hold the trays correctly. I was especially nervous because when they hired me on as a hostess they only gave me one day of training and then I was on my own. The night before my first day of server training I came home and cried my eyes out to John. Embarrassing to admit, but I wanted people to know that if you come home crying from work out of frustration this is normal! Not the best situation, but it is normal to be nervous about starting a new position.
Today is my first day of serving my own section completely alone, I haven't had any panic attacks or tears leading up to today. I wanted to share a few tips on how I got over my new job jitters so hopefully you can too!
You need to be able to communicate your needs and worries to a manager. I know this sounds scary, admitting you are struggling to your manager seems like a sure way to get fired. (at least it did in my mind at first) Once I finally gathered the courage to tell my manager that I was afraid that they would only train me for a couple days then put me on my own (like they had done with hosting) he made sure that I would not be thrown into serving. I explained my worries and that although I had some server training it was a completely different industry (drive-in vs. sit down). It was super comforting to hear directly from him the specifics of how I would be trained, how many days of training I would get, and he even threw in a few tips to memorizing the menu!
Don't feel like you will seem stupid or inexperienced if you ask questions during training. I probably asked about a thousand questions a day on my training days and I don't regret a single one. Every answered question made me feel even better about serving on my own.
On my last day of training I was given one table all to myself, and eventually two or three tables all to myself. Even though my training was almost over I still ran into situation when I needed help. Sometimes I wouldn't know which dressings went with dishes, or where things were in the kitchen. Don't be afraid to ask co-workers for help! I have never had a negative experience when asking someone for help with something. Usually people are eager to give assistance as long as they aren't too busy, it makes them feel accomplished and like an "expert" at their job.
Sometimes I would feel myself getting nervous and jittery right before my shift, I would force myself to take a few deep breaths, calm myself down, and then just go in. You can't let fear keep you from doing something you need to do. There have already been situations where I want to just call and quit just because I was scared to try something new. Now that I'm starting to get the hang of it I'm so glad I didn't quit right away! Just breathe and remember that as long as you smile and let customers/co-workers know that you are new they are generally nice about your mistakes.
This may seem like a small tip but getting ready and looking good for work will make you feel so much better. If you already have to worry about the new tasks you need to complete, you don't want the additional worry of "I look like such a scrub today" entering your mind. Also spending time to get ready before work lets you prepare your mind for work mode.
These are just the things I've learned so far about starting something new and scary. These tips relate to my job specifically, but can be used for most new jobs too! I'd love to know if you have any more tips and tricks for starting a new job, leave a comment and I'll add it to the list!

When we say that someone has psychosis we mean that they have an impaired ability to perceive reality accurately. Severe confusional states, bizarre and unrealistic thoughts (delusions), hallucinations, and marked impairment in judgment and reasoning are all examples of psychosis. Because psychosis is a symptom it does not tell us the cause of the inability to perceive reality accurately. There are many different causes of psychosis. To make things simpler, it will be easier to group psychotic disorders into three broad categories: schizophrenia, psychotic symptoms associated with mood disorders like bipolar disorder and depression, and psychosis associated with neurological/medical conditions.
People with schizophrenia often have bizarre and unrealistic thoughts, hallucinations and strange behavior. Hallucinations usually consist of hearing things that other people don't hear or seeing things that other people don't see. Sometimes people will think that the television or radio is communicating special messages to them or that people are putting ideas into their head. Frequently, people with schizophrenia will prefer to be alone and withdraw from social situations.
Schizophrenia is a chronic disorder that must be treated with antipsychotic medication. In addition, more recent (and preliminary) research is showing that omega-3 fatty may help prevent the onset of schizophrenia and may be helpful in modifying symptoms in addition to antipsychotic medications.
Word of caution: Because schizophrenia is a chronic and relapsing disorder it is important to continue taking the antipsychotic medication even if things seem fine. People will often stop their medications when things are going well and then their symptoms will return. Once the symptoms return it can often be difficult to get them controlled again with medication. Overall, the length of treatment is at least a year and usually much longer for chronic schizophrenia.
Antipsychotic medications are not addictive, but they can have side effects. It is important to discuss these side effects with your mental healthcare provider and let them know if you experience any of these. Most side effects can be treated. People on antipsychotic medication should avoid prolonged exposure to high temperature (such as being outside for a long time on a hot day). Drugs such as marijuana, amphetamines, cocaine, and other street drugs will exacerbate psychosis and should not be used.
People with bipolar disorder or depression can also have psychotic symptoms. This is most often the case when people are severely depressed or manic (an extreme energized state). The treatment for this type of psychosis in general is to treat the underlying mood disorder (depression or bipolar) and also treat the psychotic symptoms with antipsychotic medication until they are controlled.
There are many medical problems that can manifest with psychotic symptoms. It is important to distinguish between these disorders and schizophrenia because the treatment will be different. When the psychosis is secondary to a medical condition it is important to address the underlying medical condition.

Shawn Johnson Says She Took Weight Loss Pills to Maintain the Figure She Had at the 2008 Olympics
The star also said there were weeks when she "ate nothing but raw vegetables."
Shawn Johnson East recently opened up about her struggles with disordered eating.
The Olympian revealed that she took weight loss pills after the 2008 Olympics to maintain the figure she had while competing.
Shawn said her relationship with husband Andrew East and pregnancy with daughter Drew Hazel has helped her overcome her body image issues.
On Saturday, Shawn Johnson East shared a vulnerable video to her YouTube channel detailing her experience with disordered eating and body image issues.
Shawn, who competed as a gymnast and won a gold medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, said that, although there were a lot of incredible things that came with her sport, there was immense pressure surrounding her figure—and as a teenager, no less.
"In gymnastics because you are judged subjectively on the way you look, and mix that with being a teenage kid who didn't know nutrition and psychology, I took that perfectionism and the elite mindset way too far," she said in the video.
The gymnast revealed that she struggled with eating disorders, depression, and anxiety after competing. "Because I didn't have the Olympics to work for, I quickly realized I had a self-confidence and self-image issue," she said, adding that a restricted diet resulted in her not menstruating.
"When I went on Dancing with the Stars and I had my period for the first time, and I had to deal with going through puberty on national television, I hit a very low spot," Shawn said. "I'd gained about 15 lbs. after the Olympics and I thought that that was the worst thing in the entire world—which it wasn't, it was healthy and normal."
The Olympian said she turned to weight loss pills including ephedrine and Adderall.
"I started doing any and everything I possibly could to lose the weight and to look like I did at the Olympics," she explained. "And in my mind if I could look like that—not necessarily compete or do gymnastics—but if I could be that person again, then the world would say that I was 'enough' and I was accepted."
"So I went through this dark kind of spiral of a few years on terrible medications and drugs that tried to 'spike my metabolism' and did nothing, I took diuretics, I did every fad diet," she continued. "I remember I went through a three-week phase where I ate nothing but raw vegetables."

The former gymnast eventually hired a therapist and a nutritionist to help her learn healthier habits. Shawn's relationship with her now husband Andrew East also helped her find confidence again. The couple married in 2016 and attempted to expand their family, but Shawn suffered a miscarriage. "It was the lowest point in my life," she said, adding that she blamed herself for her past choices around her health. Shawn overhauled her lifestyle in the hopes that she could have a baby (although she feared she would have a relapse with her eating disorder postpartum).
Shawn found out she was pregnant in 2019, and luckily her mindset changed for the better. "There was something that switched when I got pregnant, where it was no longer about me or my body or like the vanity or like the calories or what I looked like or what I weighed," she said. "I could have cared less. It was about protecting my baby. And I was so excited by that."
She said she felt "proud" to let her body grow, and those feelings continued throughout breastfeeding Drew Hazel and postpartum. "I still feel confident," she said.
"Having gotten clean from, you know, the medications and the prescriptions and just the obsessiveness—I wouldn't change anything for the world," she added. "It was very hard and I don't wish that on anyone—but I've had these tough experiences that make me a stronger mom that will allow me to teach Drew how to be strong as well."

Run, Swim, Throw, Cheat
The science behind Drugs and Doping in Sport by Professor Chris Cooper
"Gender doping": should women with high testosterone be allowed to compete in athletics?
At the University of Essex we have just started a new MSc. in Sports and Exercise Science [1]. As part of my drugs in sport module, I am getting my students to examine a "hot" research paper each week. They do the background reading and then we discuss the paper together asking the questions: Why was the research done? What did the research find? What were the problems and limitations of the study? What are the consequences for sport?
I am really enjoying this type of small group teaching. The nine students are a mix of UK and overseas, some straight from undergraduate degrees and others with real world experience. The discussions are lively and they all bring different ideas to the table.
The first paper we discussed [2] was one about a condition called hyperandrogenism - where someone has excess levels of the natural anabolic steroid testosterone. The paper is about to play a key role in the upcoming (any day now!) verdict from the Court of Arbitration of Sport with regards to the IAAF's hyperandrogenism regulation. Approved in 2011 [3], the "Regulations Governing Eligibility of Females With Hyperandrogenism to Compete in Women's Competition" state that any female athlete with a level of testosterone above a stated value (i.e. in the "male range") will not be allowed to compete until they had taken measures to reduce this value (usually this would require hormone treatment). The IAAF argument was that the difference in sporting performance between elite men and women is predominantly due to higher levels of testosterone in men. This is why women tend to get excess benefits by doping with anabolic steroids (such as testosterone) when compared to men. Therefore it is "unfair" for someone with a natural high level of testosterone to compete as it gives them benefits akin to doping. Note that at no point did the IAAF blame a "hyperandrogeic" athlete nor argue that they were not a woman - just that they are not allowed to compete in elite women's sport (there is a distinction here if you look hard enough I guess).
An Indian sprinter – Dutee Chand – refused to take treatment to lower her testosterone and challenged the legality of the regulations at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). On 24 July 2015 CAS issued an Interim Award in the arbitration procedure [4]. They suspended the regulations for two years to give the IAAF the opportunity to provide scientific evidence about the quantitative relationship between enhanced testosterone levels and improved athletic performance in hyperandrogenic athletes. I can recommend reading the full award; it is a fascinating discussion of this difficult area [5]. However, to summarise a long case, essentially the IAAF had argued that natural (endogenous) testosterone gave a female athlete the equivalent benefit of unnatural added (exogenous) testosterone. The IAAF did not dispute this idea in principle, but wanted to see proof. Hence the two-year study that culminated in the research paper I discussed with my students [1, 2]. In the meantime with the regulations suspended Dutee Chand and other hyperandrogenic athletes were allowed to compete with their natural (high) levels of testosterone [6].
The IAAF and WADA funded study was published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine [2]. The study looked at over two thousand observations from elite athletes competing at the 2011 and 2013 IAAF World Championships. Measurements were made of blood levels of testosterone and comparisons made to performance. I have some potential issues with the statistics used in that they seemed a bit too generous towards finding a performance association, but perhaps that is a story for another day. The key finding, that no doubt will be forwarded to CAS, is that after dividing the athletes into thirds – high, medium and low testosterone – women in the highest testosterone category performed significantly better in 400m, 400m hurdles, 800m, hammer throw, and pole vault with margins of 2.73%, 2.78%, 1.78%, 4.53%, and 2.94%, respectively. This pattern was not seen in any male events.
So what did my students think of it? Well they made some great observations. Perhaps the most interesting was that the effects were restricted to so few events. Results in many power-based events showed no association with increased testosterone. Indeed in the 100m, 100m hurdles and 200m those with the highest testosterone performed worse than those with the lowest testosterone. The difference was not scientifically significant, but clearly is heading in the wrong direction for the IAAFs case. However, it could be legally significant given Dutee Chand - who bought the case after all – is a 100m sprinter!
Actually what was not observed is almost as important as what was. Across female track and field events there was no association of testosterone levels with discipline i.e. elite female athletes in strength events such as shot putters and sprinters do not have higher testosterone than those competing in distance events like the 10,000m and marathon. Even more surprising (at least to me as an oxygen "expert"), the levels of the oxygen carrying protein hemoglobin were not greater in the "aerobic" events. This result is hidden away in Supplementary Table 8 if you want to find it. There is a trend for sure, but I would have expected the difference to be more evident, given that we know that long distance runners are doing all they can within the rules (altitude training, sleeping in low oxygen tents) and without the rules (EPO, blood doping) to increase their hemoglobin; something sprinters don't bother with at all.
The fact that a biochemical marker like hemoglobin that athletes can manipulate and that is known to affect performance shows such a poor association with performance, does question the whole idea of these kind of "association studies" even when they include so many athletes.
Of course the real problem with this study is that it is – quite rightly - limited by ethics. None of the female testosterone values in this study were in the "male" range. Otherwise the athletes would have been banned at that time of course. The best way to prove that hyperandrogenism is equivalent to testosterone doping is to dope elite athletes with testosterone for a short time. Then look at their performance when they are on and off the steroids. Does the increase and decrease mirror those seen when a hyperandrogenic athlete comes on and off hormone therapy to vary their natural levels of testosterone? Good luck getting that study through a university ethics committee!
One final point is that the paper also looked at male athletes. Unlike with women, the study did find that male sprinters had increased testosterone levels compared to other events. However, in no event was there any association of an individual's testosterone level with performance in that event. In the discussion the authors' suggest there is "sigmoidal" curve associating testosterone levels and performance. For women this means that increasing testosterone can have a large effect on performance (the association curve is steep), but at the higher values seen in men the relationship smooths out and is undetectable. Of course this begs the question. Why is taking testosterone and other anabolic steroids banned for male athletes, if the performance benefit is so marginal as to be unmeasurable? I am not sure the IAAF and WADA can have things both ways. If associations with performance can be used to ban female hyperandrogenic athletes from performing, then surely the lack of such an association can be used to unban male anabolic steroid dopers? I think Shakespeare called this being hoist on your own petard [see Hamlet Act 3, scene 4).
What ever CAS decides, at least my students enjoyed discussing the paper. "Much better than my undergraduate teaching said one". Given I taught him as an undergraduate, this was a somewhat back handed compliment, but I'll take it anyway!
Onwards and upwards ….next week we are discussing a controversial paper that suggests that blood doping does not increase performance in long distance aerobic sports events such as cycling [7]. Can't wait……

"Gender doping": should women with high testostero...


Today, PLF's client the Citizens for a Better Eureka filed a petition for review in the California Supreme Court, asking it to review the First District Court of Appeal's decision holding that the Coastal Commission has jurisdiction over the clean-up of the blighted and polluted Balloon Track property in downtown Eureka, California. The issue before the high court is how to interpret Section 30005(b) of the Public Resources Code. That provision of the Coastal Act exempts from the Commission's jurisdiction local nuisance abatements, such as the Balloon Track clean-up. But the court of appeal interpreted the provision to exempt only those abatements that are "narrowly targeted" to abating the identified nuisance. Our petition for review argues that the court of appeal's "narrowly targeted" standard subverts Section 30005(b) by putting the onus on local governments to establish that what they have ordered is precisely tailored to the nuisance. The appropriate standard is one of "reasonable relationship"; such a standard would avoid putting the Commission or the courts in the position of second-guessing public nuisance abatements.
