It's easy to say 'don't give your power away.' But if you've never really felt entitled to asking for what you need; if no one taught you to value yourself you wouldn't feel you have any power to begin with. So, let's me explain a bit more and then maybe the statement -Don't Give Your Power Away – will make more sense.
Who wouldn't struggle to feel confident if the key people in their lives didn't model and reinforce good communication, self-respect, solid boundaries , and good self-care?
Who on earth wouldn't feel increasingly anxious when their approach to the world is to tune out automatically to their feelings; to numb themselves from their awareness of stress and insecurity and confusion with food, drinking, drugs, t.v., internet etc.?
You're not broken, simply misinformed and under-educated in the basic life skills we all need to feel solid and confident in ourselves. And judging from the hundreds of millions of people worldwide who struggle with addictions and dysfunctional relationships you're not alone.
If you just bury your head and hope for the best because you've told yourself there's nothing you can do – or because perhaps others have told you you're not worthy or capable of the things you most desire you are allowing yourself to stay stuck in irrational thinking that has nothing at all to do with the present day and what you could truly achieve.
Your life is out of control when you live from this mindset.
You're putting your happiness and joy and peace and fulfillment in the hands of everyone you come into contact with, which, inadvertently, is the reason that those who use food to cope also often use the coping strategy of isolation and avoidance. It's easier to not have to deal with people if you don't trust yourself to take care of yourself when you feel the niggle arise.
And if you'd like to get help and support and good solid simple tools to change the answers let me know.


Burlington International Airport has a yoga studio, locally sourced food and plenty of maple syrup — along with all those planes. Now the place might get a hotel, too.
Director of aviation Gene Richards says he plans to issue a request soon for proposals on a 110-room hotel. The building would likely be constructed over the airport's southern parking garage, adding two more stories to the three-deck garage.
The hotel would employ as much soundproofing in the walls and windows as possible, Richards said, to reduce the possibility that guests will be bothered by air traffic. That traffic includes the roar of the F-16 fighter jets now flying out of BTV, or the louder F-35s that are slated to come despite local protest about the new military planes.
Speaking of airport noise, the long-planned demolition of 94 empty houses surrounding the airport in South Burlington is set to begin April 15. The airport has been buying up the houses for years under a voluntary federal program designed to help neighbors escape airport noise.
Residents who haven't sold are being told at public meetings to expect an armada of trucks hauling out debris and hauling in fill for cellar holes. The first phase of the housing removal program in the Chamberlin neighborhood will take down 37 homes. Plans call for the rest to come down by fall. The wrecking ball will swing on Airport Drive, Airport Parkway, Delaware Street, Dumont Avenue and other streets.
Though no one was forced to sell, the program has been controversial, partly because it eliminates a chunk of affordable housing stock in Chittenden County, where rents and home prices are higher than in much of the state. Most of the homes set to be razed are modest capes or ranches from the 1950s and 1960s.
Sensitive to concerns about affordable housing, Richards spent $10,000 on advertising trying to sell or practically give the houses away to anyone who would haul them off to new lots. There were no takers, even though he placed ads in rural towns with cheaper land that he thought would make the move more feasible.
"You could have come and picked up a house for $1,000," Richards said.
The demolition project must comply with Vermont's new construction recycling law, Act 175, which kicked in on contracts starting January 1. The law applies to commercial or residential projects of more than two units that generate 40 yards or more of waste created by materials including asphalt shingles, drywall, clean wood, plywood and scrap metal.
The law is designed to keep still-useful construction material out of landfills, said Michele Morris, business outreach coordinator for the Chittenden Solid Waste District. "Once you bury it in a hole in the ground and cover it up, you're not getting any more use out of those materials," she said.
Roof plywood sheathing, roof trusses, wood and asphalt shingles, and other materials will be recycled, according to Stantec Consulting Services, the company overseeing the demolition.
Morris said that for now, all indications are that Stantec and airport officials are aware of Act 175 requirements and are making plans to be in compliance. The scale of the demolition makes for an interesting test case of how the new law will work.
"It's an unprecedented type of project," Morris said. "There are a lot of unknowns."

The new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus sport large displays and because of that Apple added a dedicated feature to these devices called Reachability. With Reachability users can double tap on the Touch ID button to pull down the top section of the app so they can tap on the buttons that are difficult to reach while using their device with one hand. Reachability feature is great, however there's one negative thing about it that users have been complaining about.
When you pull down the app using Reachability there's an awkward looking blank space that remains there until you return to the normal mode. Many people argue that Apple could have utilized this spot for something more useful for users rather than leaving it empty as it is. A new tweak called ReachWeather does exactly that by putting the current weather conditions of your city in that area.
The tweak shows the weather conditions such as current temperature, level of humidity and pressure that is accessible when users activate Reachability by double tapping on the Touch ID button.
After downloading the tweak all you have to do is go to the Settings app and look for tweak's preference page. There you have to type in your city name. That's it, after doing so you will get the weather details of your town no matter which part of the app you are currently using.
ReachWeather tweak is available in Cydia for free and works on iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.

Pitchfork Staff, Kendall Jenner and Ronda Rousey Appear in New Conde Nast Ad Campaign
Staffers Contributed 'Creativity Selfies' to Initiative, Launching Today

Conde Nast didn't have to go too far find talent for a new advertising campaign about creativity, called "Create. Connect. Condé Nast."
On Thursday, Conde Nast kicked off the initiative with a series of short videos on social media channels in which employees from across the company's suite of media properties -- along with a few celebrities -- talk on camera about what creativity means to them.
Even the folks at Pitchfork, the alternative music magazine acquired by Conde Nast in October, pitched in. "They gave us two really good [videos]," CMO Edward Menicheschi told Ad Age.
The on-camera celebs include Kendall Jenner, Jordan Spieth, Ronda Rousey, Hilary Rhoda, Lily Aldridge, Kerry Washington and Reese Witherspoon.
The company has so far published three representative, 60-second supercuts, along with a 15-second video for each media brand. Thirty-seven "influencers" including Justin Bieber, Ms. Jenner, and Ms. Witherspoon agreed to promote the Condé Nast videos on their social media channels, using the hashtag #CreativityIs.
The idea for the project originated with CEO Bob Sauerberg.
"Bob Sauerberg came to me last summer, and he said, 'I want you and a team of creatives to work on telling the story of who Conde Nast is today," Mr. Menicheschi said. "And that was really the starting point of the whole thing."
From there, the initiative was headed up by Mr. Menicheschi, artistic director Anna Wintour, and corporate creative director Raul Martinez, working in concert with in-house branded content studio 23 Stories.
"Anna was incredibly supportive and had great advice," Mr. Menicheschi said of Ms. Wintour.
While publication editors were informed of the plan, rank-and-file Conde Nast employees were largely kept in the dark about why they were being asked to pitch in their own "creativity selfies."
"We literally told them nothing," Mr. Menicheschi said of the 100 or so employees asked to participate. The company filled in the blanks at an all-hands meeting Thursday morning.
The campaign was informed by two waves of audit research, Mr. Menicheschi said, in which "stakeholders," "agency folks" and clients were asked about their business and about how they see Conde Nast.
After pushing the videos to Conde Nast's audience of 120 million on social media, not to mention the healthy reach of the celebrities tapped to help out, the company is running an out-of-home advertising campaign.
Displays tied to the campaign will be seen in Grand Central Terminal and select Subway stops, along with trade publications. The campaign will last for at least a year, Mr. Menicheschi said.
"This is going to roll," he said. "This is not a one-and-done."

Walter Benenson to be Featured on CUTV News Radio
EAST LANSING, MICHIGAN, UNITED STATES, August 1, 2018 /EINPresswire.com/ -- How did the elements on earth get to be here? How many isotopes are there for each element? What is "star-stuff" and how did we come to be made of it? One exceptional scientist who has made a remarkable mark in his field explains his perspective and why it has such huge importance.
Walter Benenson Is an Emeritus University Distinguished Professor of Physics at Michigan State University who taught there for 54 plus years and co-author of the book "Handbook of Physics" and many other published works. He has also made contributions to the field of physics education research.
"It's particularly important for people to be cognizant of how the elements are produced and miraculously appeared on earth," says Walter. "All life consists of variations of these 93 momentous elements and their isotopes, and regretfully most people are unaware of the significance of this, and I want to change that." Towards the end of his career Walter joined Lyman Briggs College on the MSU campus. There his goals became understanding why physics is so hard to teach and trying to improve that situation.
As a youth Walter had aspired to become a writer and was majoring in English until the end of his sophomore year at Yale. A physics professor (in required course) surprised him when he told him what a brilliant physics student he was. This prompted him to change his direction and he ended up getting a PhD in nuclear physics at the University of Wisconsin not many years later. Besides his may outstanding accomplishments and accolades Walter is one of the original founders of the Michigan State Cyclotron Laboratory 50 years ago. This laboratory has now evolved into a gigantic project called FRIB (Facility for Rare Isotope Beams). This is now a world class nuclear physics and astrophysics installation.
"The periodic table is so pertinent because it's about the elements which symbolize all life on earth," says Walter. "The elements are being continuously created in space by super nova explosions. Atoms are streaming through space towards the earth passing through our bodies. They are everywhere in space and did not come from the Big Bang but from continuous production by explosions in outer space. So all living creatures are essentially made up of stars material." According to Walter life needs all of these elements to evolve especially carbon, oxygen and nitrogen.
Walter produced a spectacular video funded by the National Science Foundation about the production of the elements called "Nucleus Factory" which was aired nationwide on PBS stations. It is still available on YouTube.
"No matter what career you are following, you must work assiduously and with determination," says Walter. "And it's extremely important you acquire a superior education and have tremendous family support, but more importantly be absolutely dedicated to your work." You also need some good luck, for example a professor setting you on the right track.
"People can be inspired at any age," says Walter. "Even if you are a mediocre student, you can all of a sudden catch fire. I never thought I would wind up being a distinguished professor of physics because I had thought of myself as a writer. There are always chances in life, and we should be prepared for every opportunity."
CUTV News will feature Walter Benenson in an interview with Doug Llewelyn on Wednesday August 1st at 12 p.m. EST.

What motivated this young Native American girl to adopt the Englishman John Smith? Was it her compassionate nature that saved him and the other strangers from starving at Jamestown? Was it compassion or resolve that drove her to marry another Englishman, John Rolfe, cultivating the seeds of change in the New World? That time was known as the Peace of Pocahontas and it was as painfully short-lived as her life; she died at the age of 21 in England, promoting the American colonies.

Every job seeker needs to stand out in their search. While there are numerous components that will lead to success, some are erroneously ignored by well-meaning job hunters. One extremely important aspect of any job search is the summary that appears on your resume, yet many spend little time on resume summary. However, if you create a great summary, you'll set yourself apart from other candidates.
The best summaries will position your skills and qualities in a way that makes it easy for the prospective employer to see your value.
1. Determine what skills and qualities your prospective employer wants.
2. Search your background to see where you have demonstrated skills and qualities that would apply.
3. Write a summary at the top of your resume to position yourself.
4. Use the same summary to sell yourself in an interview.
Structure your summary section so that the first words focus on the kind of job you want, such as "Operations Manager." Line two should say how you're unique. For example, "Specializing in the medical industry." These headlines in your summary could then be followed by bulleted accomplishments that would be of interest to your target market.
Remember, your summary should sell your ability, experience, and personality. Never put something generic like "seeking a challenging position at a progressive company." It will get ignored. Use active voice and don't be afraid to brag a little. Tell readers the most important things you want them to know about you, and always list your most important accomplishments to instantly capture their attention.
Need help? It all starts with the Seven Stories Exercise, which will help you talk about your accomplishments in an incredibly memorable way. Through this exercise, you'll write out your work-related stories in a manner that is expressive of you as an individual. From this not only will you be able to create a summary that can't be ignored, but you'll be prepared to speak thoughtfully about your accomplishments at any interview.


I've been back to the Lush Exeter store for another bloggers event, after attending their last bloggers event in July here – Of course it was too good to miss! On Friday 4th Lush held a Christmas bloggers/social media event demonstrating all of their christmas range.
How beautiful is Northern Lights – Above.
The second demonstration we had was the shower range, I was excited to try one of the Christmas Shower Smoothies – Yog Log Roulade, you can't explain it any better than Lush already have on their website – "Comforting caramel caresses are just a lather away, whatever the weather. This satisfyingly squidgy smoothie of spicy clove bud oil, ylang ylang and softening cocoa butter will have you feeling warm and fuzzy all day long. Like a lovely soapy, swiss roll, just grab a handful of toffee-sweet smoothie and lavish all over". I've got to say this and Snow Fairy body conditioner are my favourites. I've been using the Body Conditioner Lush were kind enough to gift me almost every day it's a must have for me now!
Next was body care. I love the Lip Scrubs that Lush have, my favourite – Sugar Plum Fairy. I think this is something we should have and use regularly. The reason behind this is when you exfoliate your lips it removes the dead surface of your lips, leaving you with softer surface that will then make it easier for lip sticks and lip liners to adhere to and even last longer. Especially the matte ones, there is nothing worse than wearing a matte lipstick that looks dry and cracked!
Santas Beard was good fun!
We finished with the soaps, I haven't used many of the Lush soaps but after gaining some new product knowledge and receiving one in my goodie bag I'm looking forward to trying it out.
It was such a lovely evening and got me into the Christmas spirit. A big thank you to Lush Exeter for having me! I will do a product review post of the goodies Lush gave me too.
I hope you've enjoyed reading my Lush bloggers event experience post, let me no your thoughts below or if you have any questions.

Strike-hit British Airways cancels all UK flights for September 27
PDB September 13, 2019 BUSINESS , TRENDING GIST Edit
British Airways has cancelled all its scheduled UK flights for September 27, when company pilots will again strike in a long-running row over pay.
It comes after the carrier cancelled all flights departing and arriving in the UK on Monday and Tuesday owing to BA's first strike by pilots in the company's 100-year history.
In a statement released late Thursday, BA called on the British Airline Pilots Association (BALPA) union "to call off their strike and return to negotiations".
The airline added: "We are very sorry that BALPA's actions will affect thousands more travel plans."
This week's strike sparked travel chaos for about 200,000 passengers, mostly using London's Gatwick and Heathrow airports.
BALPA estimates that the 48-hour strike cost the airline £80 million ($99 million, 89 million euros), but BA has yet to provide a figure.

Russia's deployment of S-400 Triumf air defence missile systems to India is 'proceeding well'
The Russian envoy remarks came amid reservations in New Delhi over possible delays
The envoy also stated that Russia and India strive to successfully implement major programmes
Written By:Sucharita
Updated: June 13, 2022 01:38:10 Moscow, Russia
Russia's deployment of S-400 Triumf air defence missile systems to India is "proceeding well," according to Russian Ambassador Denis Alipov.
The envoy's remarks came amid reservations in New Delhi over possible delays in Russia's supply of major military gear to India in light of its military invasion of Ukraine.

"The best-of-a-kind S-400 systems delivery is proceeding well according to the schedule," Alipov claimed.
The ambassador made the remarks in a foreword to the Russia Digest magazine commemorating the 75th anniversary of India-Russia diplomatic ties.
"Today's Russia-India multidimensional cooperation is one of the world's most elaborate ones," he added.
In the article, Alipov also stated that Russia and India strive to successfully implement major programmes that distinguish their partnership.

In this regard, he mentioned the Kudankulam nuclear power plant project in Tamil Nadu, as well as several ambitious defence collaboration initiatives under the "Make in India" and "Aatmanirbhar Bharat" (self-reliance India) efforts.
Alipov mentioned a joint project for the production of AK-203 rifles, combat aviation, and the fabrication of main battle tanks, as well as frigates, submarines, Brahmos supersonic missiles, and other missile programmes.
Russia began supplying the first regiment of S-400 missile systems in December of last year, and the second regiment in April.
The missile system has been deployed in such a way that it can cover parts of the northern border with China as well as the border with Pakistan.

In March, Russia stated that the Western sanctions against it will have no effect on the supply of S-400 missile systems to India.
Following Russia's armed invasion of Ukraine, Western countries slapped harsh sanctions on the country.
Despite a caution from the Donald Trump administration that proceeding with the transaction could result in US sanctions, India struck a $5 billion deal with Russia in October 2018 to purchase five S-400 air defence missile systems.
Russia has been a significant supplier of military equipment to India. In light of the Western sanctions against Moscow, the two nations have been discussing what kind of payment systems they can use.

Gender equality in decision making positions at the local level
19. December. 2019. | 12:07
The main objective of this research is to map and determine the distribution of decision-making positions based on the principle of gender equality and the established (domestic and international) legal framework at the local level in Kosovo, with particular focus on local institutions in eight Serb majority municipalities. In addition to the main, specific objective of the research is to make recommendations to responsible institutions based on established facts, ie the distribution of decision making positions at the local level, and illuminating the perception of gender equality within institutions by women (in decision-making positions), all with the purpose of respecting the principle of gender equality.
By processing the data of Kosovo and Serbian institutions operating in eight Serb-majority municipalities, and conducting anonymous interviews with women in decision making positions, a broader research reach and a deeper understanding of the issue itself were just sought. Previous research that has dealt with the same or similar topics has taken official statistics as a basis, with rare cases of data collection from personalized field surveys (interviews / surveys), and even less often with reference to soft institutions funded by the Republic of Serbia. In a comprehensive approach, this research has sought to draw attention to the issue of gender inequality in Kosovo from two perspectives crucial to the development of democracy: minority and gender.

Coupa Software (COUP) to Price Senior Notes Worth $200M
Zacks Equity Research January 11, 2018
COUP NVDA ADI AMAT
Coupa Software Inc. (COUP - Free Report) recently announced plans of offering $200 million of convertible unsecured senior notes to enhance liquidity. The interest rate, conversion rate and certain other terms of the notes are yet to be determined.
The notes will be offered to qualified institutional buyers only and in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The company will also give the initial purchasers of the notes an option to buy up to an additional $30 million aggregate principal amount of the notes to cover any over-allotment. This option will be exercisable for 13 days.
Interest on the notes will be paid semi-annually and will mature in 2023, subject to customary closing conditions.
Coupaintends to use the net proceeds from this offering for the general corporate purposes, strategic acquisitions and working capital. The company will also utilize it to pay the cost of the capped call transactions.
Notably, the stock has returned 28.7% in a year, slightly better than the 25.2% rally of its industry.
Coupa's Cash Position
The enhanced capital deployment reflects Coupa's strong balance sheet and confidence in long-term business prospects. The company exited third-quarter fiscal 2018 with cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $219.3 million compared with $208.3 million in the previous quarter. Cash flow provided from operating activities for the nine months ended Oct 31, 2017 came in at $21.5 million.
We believe that the company has a strong balance sheet, which will help it in capitalizing on investment opportunities and pursuing strategic acquisitions, further improving growth prospects. Moreover, the senior notes offering will lower the company's cost of capital, consequently strengthening balance sheet and supporting growth.
Coupa provides unified, cloud-based spend management platform that helps enterprises keep a tab of daily expenditures.
An expanding partner base is expected to drive top-line growth. The partnership with Software AG makes it easy for companies to integrate Coupa with most leading enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, including those from SAP and Oracle. The company has expanded CoupaLink certified solutions by adding Software AG's webMethods Connector.
Coupa launched third major release R19 in October. R19 offers more than 70 new capabilities, better risk management and sourcing optimization as well as enhanced travel and expense community intelligence.
Moreover, the availability of Coupa Open Buy with Amazon Business in the United States is a catalyst.

Titanfall – Respawn Entertainment Talks Cloud Computing and Why Dedicated Servers are Better
June 24, 2013 David Veselka 84
Dedicated servers are coming to Respawn Entertainment's Titanfall next year, but not in the way you might normally think.
Jon Shiring, an engineer working with the Cloud technology being utilized in Titanfall, recently updated the official website with a very informative post describing the relationship between Microsoft's Cloud and Titanfall.
From the get-go, the team was set on providing players with the best online experience possible. In order to do that, they would need to employ the use of dedicated servers. The problem? They're too expensive and the studio doesn't have the manpower to manage all those servers.
"This is something I have worked on for years now, since coming to Respawn," Shiring writes. "A developer like Respawn doesn't have the kind of weight to get a huge price cut from places like Amazon or Rackspace. And we don't have the manpower to manage literally hundreds-of-thousands of servers ourselves. We want to focus on making awesome games, not on becoming giant worldwide server hosting providers. The more time I can spend on making our actual game better, the more our players benefit."
So if manning their own servers is out of the question, how are they managing with Titanfall? Shiring explains that Microsoft was able to help solve their problem, realizing that "player-hosted servers are actually holding back online gaming…"
"The Xbox group came back to us with a way for us to run all of these Titanfall dedicated servers and that lets us push games with more server CPU and higher bandwidth, which lets us have a bigger world, more physics, lots of AI, and potentially a lot more than that!"
"Microsoft has a cloud service called Azure (it's a real thing – you can go on their website right now and pay for servers and use them to run whatever you want). Microsoft realized that they could use that technology to solve our problem. So they built this powerful system to let us create all sorts of tasks that they will run for us, and it can scale up and down automatically as players come and go. We can upload new programs for them to run and they handle the deployment for us. And they'll host our game servers for other platforms, too! Titanfall uses the Xbox Live Cloud to run dedicated servers for PC, Xbox One, and Xbox 360."
"With the Xbox Live Cloud, we don't have to worry about estimating how many servers we'll need on launch day. We don't have to find ISPs all over the globe and rent servers from each one. We don't have to maintain the servers or copy new builds to every server. That lets us focus on things that make our game more fun. And best yet, Microsoft has datacenters all over the world, so everyone playing our game should have a consistent, low latency connection to their local datacenter."
Shiring is convinced that "This is a really big deal, and it can make online games better." He also expects that, over time "…we'll be using these servers to do a lot more than just dedicated servers. This is something that's going to let us drive all sorts of new ideas in online games for years to come."
For those interested, Shiring shared his thoughts on what the Cloud actually is, giving a much clearer picture:
"Amazon has a cloud that powers websites. Sony has a cloud that streams game video so you can play a game that you don't have on your machine. Now Xbox Live has a cloud that somehow powers games. Cloud doesn't seem to actually mean anything anymore, or it has so many meanings that it's useless as a marketing word."
"Let me explain this simply: when companies talk about their cloud, all they are saying is that they have a huge amount of servers ready to run whatever you need them to run. That's all."

The UK national Academies - the Academy of Medical Sciences, British Academy, Royal Academy of Engineering and the Royal Society - have commissioned Technopolis Group to deepen the understanding of the role of EU funding in UK research and innovation. The report shows how EU funding is broken down across academic disciplines, institutions, industrial sectors, company sizes and regions of the UK, including those that are most and least reliant on it. It also shows how EU funding interacts with other funding sources in the UK. The main report is supplemented by 11 case studies, looking at particular disciplines, EU programmes, industrial sectors and regions. These show in detail the role of EU funding in particular contexts.

Q: Conformal map $\mathbb{D} \rightarrow |\Im(z)| < 1$ I would like to construct a conformal map which takes the unit disk to the infinite strip $|\Im(z)| < 1$.
My thought process is to take the unit disk to the half plane, then to an infinite strip using the logarithm, and finally scale/translate as necessary.
More explicitly I am considering the composition of maps:
$$\frac{2}{\pi}\log(z)\circ\frac{1-z}{1+z} = \frac{2}{\pi}\log\Big(\frac{1-z}{1+z}\Big).$$
This will be an infinite strip with $0 < \Im(z) < 2$ and so I translate my map by $-1$:
$$f(z) = \frac{2}{\pi}\log\Big(\frac{1-z}{1+z}\Big) - 1.$$
Is this correct and is the above map a valid conformal map between these two domains?
Thanks!

A: It is almost correct. The imaginary part of the principal branch of the logarithm in the right half-plane is in the range $(-\pi/2, \pi/2)$, so that
$$
f(z) =  \frac{2}{\pi}\log\left(\frac{1-z}{1+z}\right)
$$
is already the conformal map onto the strip $\{ \operatorname{Im}(z) < 1 \}$. The additional translation by $-1$ is wrong.

Day one. The first day of 2016. A fresh start. While everyone has been talking New Year's resolutions, I've been creating a plan for the blog this new year. Up until this January (year five – can you believe it?!), I've kind of just flown by the seat of my pants when it came to the blog. I've never really given myself goals, written down a plan, or given the business side a whole lot of thought – it's always been something fun that I was able to turn into a full-time job. And I know what you're thinking – blogging? A job? I mean, it's pretty hard to say that – I LOVE what I do. It definitely doesn't seem like a job, but it's a hell of a lot of work, even though it's not a typical 9-to-5.
2016 will be different. Nearing the end of 2015, I decided to hire my first employee. She starts on Tuesday and I couldn't be more excited! In preparing for her start date, I decided it was time to sit down and really think about where I wanted this blog to go and what goals I hope to achieve (with her help!). This is the first time since the start of this blog (January 2011), that I've created a business and marketing plan for The Style Scribe. I've always had big ideas for it, but now that I've written them down and will have a second pair of hands to assist me, I believe I can actually achieve those dreams.
Instead of making resolutions for the new year, I'm making plans… BIG ones. I hope you'll continue to follow along with me on this journey! It's been such a fun one and I'm thrilled to share more with you. Stay tuned and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Loving the leopard print. Happy New Year.
Congrats! It is a really big step! Your outfit is fantastic!
Happy New Year! Love your dress!
Oh, and I can't wait to see what The Style Scribe becomes.


In current course work (real-time systems) we're writing bare-metal C on an AVR Butterfly. I'm surprised at how comfy the language is, especially coming from C++. With all warnings enabled, I have yet to subconsciously write any egregious, yet compiling errors. The only issues have been with odd hardware designs.
I've been writing a set of python scripts to analyse a set of stereolithography files, measuring them by fitting cuboids to the surface to get measures of anterior / mid / posterior, width / height / depth on sagital, coronal and axial planes. Also fitting shapes to the interior (mainly cylinders) so that I can get an approximation of their stiffness. Writing in python so that I can use matplotlib to check what I'm measuring makes sense.
I'm trying to post stuff on my blog (strangequark.tk).
I also have a project (pricetracker.tk), it's a tracker for product prices written in PHP, I'm lacking motivation to keep it going, I'm thinking of putting it on GitHub under GPL v2, if anyone wants to contribute you are welcome.
I did a small utility to "rollback" packages on Arch Linux. It basically generates a list of packages installed on the system and provides a way to restore the missing packages and remove the packages that aren't on that list.
Sometimes I install some packages and then I make a big mess, with this utility I can revert the packages for a previous "snapshot".
I have a little mpc frontend script called `music` that I just added too -- it now has the ability to define playlists via search terms. I've been collecting music from various places since 2010, and the selection can be quite eclectic and sometimes the transition is very jumpy. But I don't want to assemble playlists at the song level, that's too much overhead for me.
So now I can define playlists via search terms on the path to an audio file.
I've been sparingly, though I wish I could spend more time, working on making "nice fonts", ttf and others, work with xcb ( https://github.com/venam/fonts-for-xcb ). I kinda reached the stage where I have to link everything together in a library-usable way.
At the same time I'm going to document the process plus add a bunch of approachable documents on some X windowing system related concepts that are really lacking in online content.
The big plan is to join all that back with code examples, such as writing a compositor, and then finally, with the new knowledge, continue the refactoring of 2bwm.
I'm currently wasting time in COBOL and FASM just to keep on track. Maybe something important comes out of it.
I'm working a daily news briefing service.
Right now, I'm tryingt to find a good article summarizing algorithm to use in it.
- Compile a list of relevant topics that are trending in various news sites (by scanning various social networks looking for news links and determining what's generating the most discussion) and then whittle that list down to about 5 items.
- Post the summarized articles on a public web page every day as "The Daily News Briefing"
Additionally, I'll make a companion app for Android that gets the Daily News Briefing every day, downloads it, and notifies the user when the briefing is ready to read.
Basically, I'm making an automated alternative to Google News that briefs the user on what's going on in the world, and gives source links and wikipedia links for further reading.
I'm already learning a lot about making an alogorithm to try and determine what's relevant news, as well as a lot about how a bot like the "Summry.io" bot summarizes news articles. I may never finish this project, but the learning I'm doing along the way is what I like the most.
I worked on a patch for lemonbar that would rotate the text 90deg to the right or left (-R and -r flag).
This required using the xcb-render extension and doing some composite. A great application on learning those topics that aren't that much documented.

Iran's Regional Ambitions: Implications for Israel, Iraq, and the Gulf States

Publication: Jerusalem Issue Briefs
•Iran's national interest would be to regard Israel as a strategic ally and partner because Iran does not want a Middle East which is entirely Arab. But the Islamic Republic wants to lead the Muslim world, create an Islamic superpower, and save mankind from a Judeo-Christian conspiracy.
•Jerusalem contains the al-Aqsa Mosque, but it is a Sunni mosque. Iranians are Shi'ites and cannot pray there because their prayers would not be accepted. So liberating Jerusalem is a totally useless project from an Iranian religious perspective.
•The majority of the Shi'ite clergy, in Iran and elsewhere, are against the Iranian regime. There are more Iranian mullahs in prison today than workers or intellectuals. All of the grand ayatollahs are now bitter enemies of the regime because it is a distortion of Shi'ite theology.
•Those who are fighting the regime inside Iran are mostly industrial workers, who have been on strike in many areas. Another group fighting the regime is women, who are very active, especially in hundreds of NGOs. The regular Iranian armed forces, as distinct from the Revolutionary Guards, are also unhappy with the present situation.
•The real issue in Iran is how it can find a way to emerge from its revolutionary experience, keep part of it, discard other parts, and really become a nation state. Once Iran has become a nation state, instead of a country devoted to an abstract cause, then it will display normal behavior and not be an existential threat to anybody.
Defining Iran's National Interests
There are 7 million Azeris in the Republic of Azerbaijan and about 15-18 million Azeris in Iran. Yet, paradoxically, Iran is supporting Armenia against Azerbaijan because the Republic of Azerbaijan is pro-Western and pro-American. The only yardstick that matters for the Islamic Republic is not Iran's national interests, but its enmity toward the United States.
Iran's national interest would be to regard Israel as a strategic ally and partner because Iran does not want a Middle East which is entirely Arab. It is in Iran's interest to have a Middle East in which there are also Persians, Kurds, Turks, Jews, Maronites, Christians, and Copts. If there was no Israel, all the negative energies of Arab chauvinism and pan-Arabism would be directed against Iran.
Israel should normally be Iran's best ally in the region, but the Islamic Republic wants to lead the Muslim world, create an Islamic superpower, and save mankind from a Judeo-Christian conspiracy. Since the Arabs and the Sunni Muslims who are the majority are reluctant to accept Shi'ite Iran as a leader, Iran's response is to tell the Arabs to destroy Israel under Iran's leadership.
The destruction of Israel has thus become a device to avoid any theological discussions. In British mosques, for instance, God makes a cameo appearance every now and then, but the discussions have become entirely political.
Since there are many different Islamic sects and many different interpretations, the best way to prevent dissension is to avoid religion and talk about politics – Israel, Chechnya, Kashmir, the liberation of Andalusia – issues about which all Muslims can agree.
Iran has created a special corps to liberate Jerusalem, but suppose Iran were to actually liberate Jerusalem. Jerusalem has no natural resources and is of no strategic value. It has the al-Aqsa Mosque, but it is a Sunni mosque. Iranians are Shi'ites and cannot pray there because their prayers would not be accepted. So liberating Jerusalem is a totally useless project from both an Iranian religious and national perspective.
The real issue in Iran is how it can find a way to emerge from its revolutionary experience, keep part of it, discard other parts, and really become a nation state. Once Iran has become a nation state, then it will display normal behavior and not be an existential threat to anybody. A nation state's demands are tangible and quantifiable. They are about borders, sharing water, markets, access to raw materials, influence, security, and geo-politics. The problem with a country devoted to a cause is that a cause is an abstraction. A defender of a cause wants everything and has no interest in negotiations.
A Moment of Disequilibrium in the Middle East
The status quo in the Middle East has been shattered as a result of the wars in Afghanistan and in Iraq. Now we are in a moment of disequilibrium. The new Middle East will either be an American Middle East – democratic, pluralistic, and capitalistic – or it will be a Khomeinist Middle East. These are two different visions and they are in competition.
Iran's original calculation was to wait until President Bush finishes out his term, but in recent months the leadership of the Islamic Republic seems to have decided that it does not have to wait Bush out – that Bush is already finished and the "good Americans" will soon be back in power. Therefore, the Islamic Republic has gone on the offensive, as can be seen in Iraq, Lebanon, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. For the first time since 1988, the Islamic Republic navy is stopping ships, seizing British sailors. It is also intensifying attacks on allied forces in parts of Iraq that were not affected by insurgency. The Iranians want to take the credit for themselves (instead of allowing al-Qaeda, or the Baathist remnants to do so) and to proclaim themselves as the leaders of the region.
Everybody in the region is being affected. The Arabs in the Persian Gulf are afraid of even the peaceful use of Iran's nuclear energy because the Iranian nuclear plant is less than 32 kilometers from Kuwait. Polluted water will pour into the Gulf where Kuwaitis get 90 percent of their water through desalination. The nuclear plant has a German design, but it was built by a Russian company, the same company that built the Chernobyl reactor. Also the plant is located in one of the most active earthquake zones in the world. Scientists at Tehran University sent a report to the regime that this was the wrong site for a nuclear plant.
The Arabs, Russians, Europeans, and Pakistanis all assume that if they pressure the Islamic Republic, the Iranians would make a deal with the Americans. They also assume that the Americans will take care of the Iranians if they really get out of hand.
The Saudis have created a group of eight – six Gulf Cooperation Council member states plus Egypt and Jordan. They also created another group of seven with Islamic countries like Pakistan, Indonesia and Malaysia plus Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Sudan, and for the first time excluded Iran. The Saudis are laying markers for a third vision of the Middle East, one that would be different from the American and Iranian visions.
Fighting the Iranian Regime
The majority of the Shi'ite clergy, in Iran and elsewhere, are against the Iranian regime. There are more Iranian mullahs in prison today than workers or intellectuals. Of all the grand ayatollahs, the last one who was still cooperating with the regime until the 1980s was Montazeri, who was supposed to be Khomeini's successor. They are now all bitter enemies of the regime because it is a distortion of Shi'ite theology.
One can help the Iranian people by helping those who are fighting the regime inside Iran. These are mostly Iranian industrial workers, who have been on strike in many areas. The Islamic Republic wants to introduce a new labor code which they call Islamic, but it is really slavery in which the worker has absolutely no rights.
Another group fighting the regime is women, who are very active, especially in hundreds of NGOs. Segments of Iranian society such as legal and medical associations, who elect their own leaders, have liberated themselves in some degree from the regime. The regular Iranian armed forces, as distinct from the Revolutionary Guards, are also unhappy with the present situation.
The forces in Iran that are represented as revolutionary are shallow, and they maintain their power because they control the instruments of coercion – they can kill people, and they control the oil money. They have 3-5 million people linked to them through the distribution of favors.
Iraq: Situation Not as Bad as People Think
The Americans achieved all their objectives in the war in Iraq: they toppled Saddam Hussein and broke his war machine. The Iraqis wrote a constitution, held elections, and did what was necessary to create a new system. In terms of war aims, this has been a very successful war.
If things are going badly in Iraq, the Iraqis will start leaving in droves. Indeed, many Sunnis have left Iraq and are becoming new refugees in Jordan and Syria. At the same time, many Shi'ites and Kurds have returned to Iraq.
When things are going badly in Iraq, the flow of pilgrims to the holy shrines in Najaf and Karbala slows down. According to this criterion, the situation in Iraq is good because since the liberation, Iraq has hosted some 12 million pilgrims from all over the world, for the first time since the late 1980s. It makes Iraq the number one tourist destination in the Middle East. In addition, the Iraqi dinar has been appreciating against both the Iranian rial and the Kuwaiti dinar.
Iraqi agriculture has made a comeback and for the first time since the 1950s Iraq is self-sufficient in food after peasants reclaimed their lands and started growing on it. They are even exporting a lot of food to Iran. Furthermore, the appearance of thousands of small businesses everywhere shows that the situation in Iraq is not as bad as people think.

Fulfilment can be one of the biggest challenges for an e-commerce seller. From administrative errors to damage, a lot can go wrong, so it's important to know what you're getting into. This article takes a closer look at fulfilment by Amazon and shows you the different selling options and the positives and negatives associated with each choice.
You have already created a shortlist of products you want to sell on Amazon and have searched for suppliers that can manufacture the goods you want to resell. What's the best way to start selling them on Amazon? There are three options.
Fulfilment by Merchant (FBM) 3P – when you list a product on Amazon and ship your products to each buyer, aka seller-fulfilled.
Fulfilment by Amazon (FBA) 3P – Amazon stores and ships your products to customers and provides customer service.
Multichannel fulfilment via FBA – Amazon stores and ships your products to customers who order from your own website or from other online marketplaces like eBay.
FBM is the most basic model, but it's also the most hands-on. The product type or volume doesn't factor as much in your decision to use this model, it's more about the level of control you are comfortable with and your existing logistics arrangements.
If you have an existing logistics infrastructure in place that is low in cost and you also have enough manpower to handle customer service, shipping and returns this is a good option for you. Here are some advantages and disadvantages.
As mentioned, with FBA you get to leverage Amazon's vast distribution network and customer base. Amazon will warehouse your products, fulfill orders and provide customer service so you don't have to worry about that aspect of the business. You can then focus on finding your product opportunities, while Amazon handles the rest.
FBA has the flexibility to allow you to sell items from both Amazon and your own eCommerce website or other marketplace and have your products stored, picked and packed and shipped by Amazon.
This option can really help small business grow, as it's easily scalable and allows you to sell internationally without the need for your own logistics and warehousing. You don't need to split your inventories or deal with an individual order fulfilment capacity as your business grows.
The only thing is you are still responsible for is customer service for multi-channel orders, including delivery inquiries and requests for replacements, refunds and returns. Amazon still tries to make this easier for you, with some tools you can use in your seller account to process returns.
There is so much to learn about selling on Amazon.
From how to set up your business for success to insider tips and tools, these guides cover every aspect of starting and building a business in the worlds biggest marketplace.
Is FBM or FBA the Best Model for you?

70 million livestock are slaughtered a year in Spain. Can the country change its ways?
Spain is the biggest consumer of meat in the EU. - Copyright AP Photo/Emilio Morenatti
By Amber Louise Bryce & Lottie Limb • Updated: 07/01/2022
As Veganuary gets underway, people around the world are attempting to reduce their meat consumption. And one government minister, Alberto Garzón, is promoting a plant-based diet to a tough crowd.
Garzón urged Spaniards to reconsider how much meat they're eating in a recent interview, bringing attention to its environmental impact — especially the production of beef by industrial mega-farms.
But his comments have not gone down well with all his fellow Spanish citizens. A furious backlash from the meat industry has forced the government to distance itself from the consumer affairs minister's comments, the Guardian reports.
It may go some way to proving Garzón's point: that while many people in Spain know that greenhouse gases are a major contributor to climate change, they often "link it to cars and transport", sidelining the role of agriculture.

This is despite the UN's Food and Agricultural Organisation reporting that meat and dairy account for around 14.5 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions.
"It was only very recently that everyone started to look at the impact of the animal consumer chain and, especially, at the impact of beef. Other countries were pretty advanced on that but in Spain it's been a taboo," Garzón said.
He doubled-down on his comments this week, after government spokesperson Isabel Rodríguez said he had spoken in a personal capacity.
"What I said, I said as the minister of consumer affairs. There's no other way of seeing it," he told the Spanish radio station Cadena Ser, adding that his comments were "flawless".

How is climate change impacting Spain?
The Mediterranean region is especially vulnerable to climate change due to its rapid warming and precipitation decline.
The increased concentration of greenhouse gases has accelerated rising temperatures in Spain, with the country's rate of warming rising a cumulative 1.3 degrees Celsius in 60 years, according to a report by the Spanish weather agency Aemet.
Throughout the summer of 2021, wildfires caused by extreme temperatures raged across parts of the country. Hundreds of residents were evacuated from Ávila in August, and some 1,054 people evacuated from the resort of Estepona and the town of Benahavis in September.

"If we don't act, it won't just be climate change we're dealing with – it'll be the triple crisis: the loss of biodiversity; pollution, and climate change," Garzón said.
"It would be the end for a country like Spain. Spain is a country in the Mediterranean basin – it isn't the UK or Germany – and desertification is a very serious problem for our country, not least because it depends so much on tourism.
"Visiting a desert isn't quite as attractive as visiting the Costa del Sol."

Why eating meat is bad for the environment
The production of meat has a negative impact on the environment for many far-reaching reasons, including deforestation and the loss of biodiversity due to the sheer amount of land and water required to raise livestock.
Livestock also produce vast amounts of the powerful and destructive greenhouse gas methane. In total, Our World in Data calculates that beef produces a global average of 110lb (50kg) of greenhouse gases per 3.5oz of protein.
Less meat and more walking could save the NHS billions, says new report
Garzón spoke of the detrimental impact of so-called megafarms in particular, which he said, "find a village in a depopulated bit of Spain and put in 4,000, or 5,000, or 10,000 head of cattle. They pollute the soil, they pollute the water and then they export this poor quality meat from these ill-treated animals."

Spain's cultural relationship with meat
Spain eats more meat than any other EU country, with an average of more than 1kg of meat being consumed a week, which equates to the slaughtering of 70 million livestock each year to produce 7.6 million tonnes of meat.
From Jamón to Fuet to Chorizo to chuletón, meat-eating is a big part of Spanish culture, which perhaps explains the backlash Garzón has received since launching his 'Less meat, more life' campaign in July, leading to indignant responses from cabinet ministers and six meat-producing associations.
Even the prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, scoffed at Garzón's suggestions, saying, "Speaking personally, a medium-rare steak is hard to beat."

The agriculture minister, Luis Planas, also rebuked the campaign, saying the farming sector was being subjected to "profoundly unfair criticisms when it deserved respect for the honest work it does for both our food and our economy."
Garzón has since clarified that he is not calling for Spaniards to stop eating meat completely, but suggesting they reduce their intake for both health and environmental reasons.
"Other countries – like Germany, the UK and France – are well ahead of us on this. This was the first time in Spain that someone in the government was saying what the scientists have been saying for a long time."
