[The objective of geology is] "to confirm the evidences of natural religion; and to show that the facts developed by it are consistent with the accounts of the creation and deluge recorded in the Mosaic writings."
To the modern reader, it may seem surprising that astronomical forces drive global climate change. In the 1950s, changes in the weather were attributed by many people to nuclear testing; in the 1990s, they were attributed to emission of carbon dioxide and other gases that enhance the Greenhouse effect. Yet in the 1840s, the obvious cause of climate change, to many people, was astronomy. It was understood at that time that the seasons were driven by astronomical causes, as is the 24 hour cycle of day and night. So when the existence of long-term changes of climate were discovered, it was natural to see if they could be attributed to astronomical forcing. This was long before the 100 kyr and 41 kyr cycles of the ice ages had been discovered.
By the 1840s, astronomers had already shown that the orbit of the earth undergoes slow changes. It is not the same ellipse this year that it was last year. The orbit would be an unchanging ellipse, if the Sun were the only source of attraction. The deviations come about because of the presence of the moon and other planets. Gravity from these objects means that the force on the earth is not a simple inverse square centered on the sun, and the natural result is that the orbit is not a simple repeating ellipse.
However the effects of the planets are relatively small. Jupiter has 10–3 of the mass of the Sun, and it is, on average, about 5 times further away. Venus, although having a mass 390 times smaller than Jupiter, comes much closer, within 0.28 AU (where the Astronomical Unit, or AU, is the average Earth-Sun distance) vs. 4.2 AU for Jupiter. Since gravity varies as 1/(distance squared), and tidal gradients vary as 1/(distance cubed), the effect of Venus is often more important than that of Jupiter. But all these effects are small enough that they can be treated as perturbations, small changes, on the classical elliptical orbit. The nice consequence of this is that the Earth's orbit is always approximately an ellipse, and we can treat the perturbations of the planets as extra forces that gradually alter the parameters of that ellipse. For example, the major axis of the Earth slowly precesses or rotates relative to the "fixed" stars. This effect is big enough that it was discovered experimentally in 120 BC by the astronomer Hipparchus, who found differences between his own measurements and those of earlier astronomer Babylonian records.
By 1749, Alexis Claude Clairaut had shown, using Newton's laws, that the north pole of the Earth precesses with a period of 25,800 years. So, for example, 13,000 years from now, the North Pole of the Earth will not be pointing towards the "North Star," but will be pointing away by an angle of about 47 degrees, close to the star Vega. This happens because the Sun and Moon exert a torque on the equatorial bulge of the Earth. This causes the axis of rotation of the Earth to wobble, an effect completely analogous to the wobble of a tilted top under the torque of gravity.
Precession implies that the signs of the zodiac change, or "advance." When astrology was defined, about two thousand years ago, a person born in January was said to be under the sign of Capricorn, since the sun was in the constellation Capricorn at that time. Since then, the precession of the axis of the earth has changed by 2000/26000 = 1/13 of a cycle; this corresponds to a change by about one sign of the zodiac. This means that a person who is born in January any time in the last few hundred years, was born when the Sun was actually in Sagittarius – not Capricorn. Nevertheless, following tradition, such a person is still said to be "born under the sign of Capricorn." The more educated astrologers are aware of this change, and claim that they compensate for it .
Another consequence of the Earth's precession is that the location of the sun at the spring equinox also changes. It is presently leaving the constellation Pisces and entering Aquarius. Astrologers say that this change could have a profound effect on our lives, and it is why they talk about the future (and sometimes the present; it depends on exactly where you draw the constellation boundaries) as "the Age of Aquarius."
Evidence for ancient glaciation, including polished bedrock and erratic boulders, is extensive. But in early 1800s, the prevailing paradigm to explain these was diluvianism – belief that they were artifacts of the great flood of the Bible. According to William Buckland, one of the most widely respected geologists of the time, the goal of geology was "to confirm the evidences of natural religion; and to show that the facts developed by it are consistent with the accounts of the creation and deluge recorded in the Mosaic writings." (quoted in , page 35). A detailed scientific case for ancient glaciation was first synthesized in detail by Jean de Charpentier in the early 1830s, and the great geologist Louis Agassiz became an early convert. By 1841 Charles Lyell, and even Buckland, had been won over, and over the next 20 years, the theory of ancient periods of extensive ice became generally accepted.
Soon after the existence of the ice ages was postulated, they were attributed to these orbital changes. The first person to create a detailed theory was Joseph Adhémar, who published a book on the subject in 1842 called Revolutions de la Mer, Deluges Periodics. He believed that the 26,000 year precession cycle was the cause, and he suggested that it was the direct gravitational attraction of the sun and moon on the ice caps, a result that many scientists at the time correctly rejected as absurd.
One person who was inspired, in part, by Adhémar's book, was James Croll. In many ways, Croll is the true hero of the astronomical theory of the ice ages. For a moving account of his life and tribulations, we urge you to read the delightful and informative book, "Ice Ages, Solving the Mystery," by John Imbrie and his daughter Katherine Palmer Imbrie . Croll was a carpenter who became disabled from an accident, and was forced to take a menial job as a janitor. But his janitorial duties were at the Andersonian College and Museum in Scotland, and there he discovered a wonderful library. He found that he could finish his mopping and polishing work early, and spend the rest of the night reading books on physics in the library. Among these was the book by Adhémar, and new calculations of the Earth's orbit by the astronomer Urbain Leverrier (one of the discovers of Neptune). Croll taught himself advanced physics, and set to work on the origins of the ice age. He decided that the most plausible driving force changing climate was variations in insolation, the sunlight hitting the Earth. He managed to get his papers published, and his theories received favorable attention. Eventually he accepted a job at the Geological Survey. In 1876, a year after his own book was published, Croll was given the high honor of being named a Fellow of the Royal Society of London.
Croll contributed many insights that are still recognized as important. He realized that the presence of large glaciers would reflect sunlight, and that this would enhance further the chill of the ice ages. He recognized the importance of ocean currents in climate, and incorporated them into his theories. He took into account not only precession, but the changes in the eccentricity of the Earth's orbit – an effect that can contribute a 100 kyr cycle to the glaciation (which, of course, had not yet been discovered).
But Croll published several predictions that proved to be very wrong, and that eventually caused his theory to be abandoned. Since the insolation in the Northern Hemisphere is out of phase with the insolation on the Southern Hemisphere, he thought that the ice ages in the two hemispheres would alternate, and we now know they are synchronous. He also estimated that the time since the last ice age to be 80,000 years ago, much older than the true value; we now know it ended between 14,000 and 10,000 years ago.
The insolation theory of Croll was revived in the early 1900s by Milutin Milankovitch, a Serbian originally employed as an engineer, but who had become a professor at the University of Belgrade where he taught physics, mathematics, and astronomy. He took on the riddle of the ice ages as a challenge. Ludwig Pilgrim had recently completed new and more detailed orbital calculations, and Milankovitch made use of these. He had the critical insight that insolation on the Northern Hemisphere might completely dominate, since that is the location of two thirds of the Earth's land area. The ice ages in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres are in synchrony because they are both driven by the same force: insolation on the Northern Hemisphere land. With this Gordian slice, Milankovitch solved the problem of alternating hemispheric ice ages.
Milankovitch then set out on the heroic task (at that time) of doing detailed insolation calculations based on Pilgrim's orbital work. Today these calculations are an interesting task for an undergraduate to do over the course of a summer, using a desktop computer. But Milankovitch had to do all the calculations by hand, and it took him many years (interrupted by war and imprisonment – again we urge you read the book by Imbrie and Imbrie!). Milankovitch's calculations showed (correctly) that the insolation was dominated by a 23,000 year cycle; we have modern data for this plotted on page *. Milankovitch concluded that the ice ages would be most intense when the insolation dropped below a certain threshold. Since the envelope of the insolation curve has an approximately 100 kyr cyclicity, his theory has implicit in it a prediction that such a cycle might be seen in the ice ages.
Milankovitch concluded, somewhat prematurely, that the problem was completely solved, and he devoted much of his time in later years to writing popular accounts of the ice ices, including a series of letters to a (presumably fictional) young girl. This effort did a lot to increase the public interest in the ice ages, and undoubtedly led to the artwork shown in Figure 1-7.
But Milankovitch's theory was abandoned when precise age estimates, made possible by Willard Libby's invention of radiocarbon dating, appeared to show that the timing of the ice ages were in conflict with Milankovitch's detailed calculations. In retrospect, this was unfair. The Milankovitch theory actually explains many of the phenomena that we now see in the data. Do we throw out the astronomical theory of the seasons, simply because the first day of Spring is not always Spring-like? The warm weather of spring can be delayed by a month, or it can come early by a month; the important fact is that it always comes. We demand too much of a theory if we require it to predict all the details in addition to the major behavior.
In fact, it was the observations of the regularity of the ice age cycles that led to the revival of the insolation theory. Science and technology advanced, thanks to the work of many people. Harold Urey, Cesare Emiliani, and others developed and promoted the use of isotopes as proxies for changes in the Earth. The technology for obtaining sea floor cores rapidly improved. In 1970, Wally Broecker and Jan van Donk published a seminal paper that showed for the first time that the dominant variation in the ice ages was a repeating cycle of 100,000 years. This was a frequency that appeared in the insolation theory. The use of geomagnetic reversals in sea floor cores allowed an vastly improved time scale. In 1976, James D. Hays, John Imbrie, and Nicholas Shackleton published their paper showing the presence of both a 41 and 23 kyr cycle in data derived from sea floor sediments. The same frequencies were dominant in spectral analysis of the insolation. Even if the details of the theory were wrong, the presence of the same frequencies as those present in the orbits of the planets was a strong reason to revive the astronomical theory.
Although it had been resuscitated, the insolation theory continued to have problems. In the glacial data, the 100 kyr cycle dominated, with the 41 kyr cycle weaker, and the 23 kyr precession signal weakest of all. Yet in insolation theory, it is the 23 kyr cycle that dominates, with a weaker 41, and an extremely weak 100. Why were these strengths reversed? A possible answer came from the old threshold idea of Milankovitch, which had been revived by Kenneth Mesolella and George Kukla, and put into an elegant mathematical form by Imbrie and Imbrie. They showed that a nonlinear response of the climate to insolation could greatly strengthen the 100 kyr cycle, through a mechanism that we discuss on page later in this book. This was both physically plausible, and seemed to solve the amplitude problem.
But there was another issue: the nonlinear ice model strengthened even more an additional cycle with a 400 kyr period that was not observed. In fact, the 400 kyr cycle should have been the strongest cycle of all, according to that theory. One way to get rid of this was to make the ad hoc assumption that the 400 kyr cycle was so long that it was suppressed by the more rapid time constants that are natural in ice production and destruction processes. At least one such assumption should certainly be allowed in any complicated theory.
Other problems continued to nag the insolation theory. In 1992, measurements of climate with precise dates became available from a water-filled cave in Nevada called Devils Hole. The sudden rise in temperature at this location appeared to precede the increase in insolation that was supposed to trigger it. This was a "causality problem," since the presumed effect appeared to precede the cause. This problem persists, and has recently become critical with the vindication of the Devils Hole chronology by radiometric dates from coral records. We will discuss the causality problem at length in Section 8.3.
Another problem with the insolation theory is called the "Stage-11 problem." Stage-11, in the jargon of paleoclimate, refers to a period about 400,000 years ago when variations in insolation were very weak, and yet the cyclical behavior of the ice ages was very strong. A similar problem exists at present: insolation variations are weak, and yet there was a great termination just 10-14 thousand years ago; this might be called the "Stage-1 problem." Various solutions have been proposed to address these problems, but they all involve ad hoc assumptions and the introduction of arbitrary parameters.
The set of problems continues to grow. It has led some to abandon the astronomical theory altogether, and postulate that the cycles of the ice ages are driven by natural oscillations of the ocean/continent/atmosphere system. Yet it is hard to dispute that the astronomical theory can account for the values of the observed frequencies. This agreement, more than anything else, gives life to the astronomical theory. It is also the reason for the central role played by spectral analysis in this book. Moreover, it is possible to make a general argument, independent of the frequency agreement, that the ice ages are astronomically driven. This was first done by the authors of this book in a paper in Science Magazine . The argument is based on the narrow structure seen in the spectrum of the data, and is explained on in Section 2.1.
The attention given to line shape has created another serious problem for the insolation theory. A high-resolution analysis of the 100 kyr cycle shows that the insolation theory, and its variants, all predict that the peak will have a split structure: it will be resolved into a 95 kyr line and a 125 kyr line. (An exception to this general rule is a model recently published by W. Berger, and explained in Section 6.4.8.) The bulk of the data shows that this prediction is contradicted. The 100 kyr cycle is a single narrow line. Ad hoc mechanisms that were plausible for eliminating the 400 kyr line are not plausible for turning the predicted doublet into a singlet. It is remarkable that this problem was not noticed until 1994. The seriousness of the problem was emphasized in an article in Science Magazine in 1997. Although there had been many theories published to account for the ice ages, none of them predicted the narrowness of this peak. A review of the theories published in 1993 included a "short list" of nine different "groups" of models, and yet every one of these theories was contradicted by the simple observation that the 100 kyr peak was narrow.
It is dangerous to dismiss a theory based on any one contradiction, since minor modifications of the theory can often solve apparently intractable difficulties. But the growing number of problems with the insolation theory is cause for serious concern. It may be the fact that the insolation theory predicted the correct values of the frequencies that leads to its tenacity in holding the minds of paleoclimatologists. But there are alternatives now appearing. In 1993, it was discovered that there is another astronomical oscillation (orbital inclination) that could contribute to climate that has a spectrum that is an excellent match to the narrow 100 kyr peak. The theory based on this does not have a Stage-11 problem (or a Stage-1 problem), nor a causality problem. It does not predict a nonexistent 400 kyr peak, and it accounts in a natural way (no adjustable parameters) for the shift of frequencies that took place about one million years ago, when the dominant frequency of ice age oscillation changed from 41 kyr to the present value of 100 kyr. This is, however, a new theory, and although we like it (it is our theory), it is not yet widely accepted, so we relegate detailed discussion of it to near the end of this book, Chapter 7.

Q: Why isn't padding or margin working properly in React? I'm trying to create a padding or margin around a component, but when I go to apply it, it causes the app to go off screen. Basically, the top and left padding/margin pushes the right side off screen as if it's doing padding + width + padding, instead of working within the set width/height. It doesn't matter if I use margin or padding, the same thing happens with each.
export default () => {

  return (

  );
}

In the picture below, the dark green is the size of the component with padding: 0, and the light green is how it extends if padding: 20.
This is the complete opposite of how I understand padding should work --- the width and height should stay the same, but the interior contents (e.g. text, other components) should have a smaller field to work with.

It doesn't matter if I do this on the root component or on other, interior components. The same thing happens with each. How can I get the width/height of the component to stay constant while using padding?

A: This is down to the way CSS works. You create the size and then padding and margin get added on afterwards by default. You can change this behaviour using 'box-sizing'. Try this:
const MyElement = () => {
  return (

  );
}

Swell, single channel video by Chris Doyle
In his animation-based practice, Chris Doyle explores aspiration and progress, questioning the foundation of a culture consumed by striving. His narratives feature a world of increasing speed and complexity in which environmental disaster and social inequities continue to generate anxiety of a looming apocalypse.
Swell is the final animation in a series inspired by Hudson River painter Thomas Cole's Course of Empire cycle. A meditation on Consummation of Empire, the central painting in the series, Swell depicts a city growing and expanding to unprecedented heights as industrialization gives way to a digital future.
At the heart of Swell is the labor that forms the foundation of the expanding empire. Swell draws parallels between artist and laborer, but reminds us that the artist is never outside of this cycle of expansion, and in fact, plays a key role in it.

Here are the top 5 most read (clicked anyway) Wasted Blog essays posted in 2017. Thank you all for taking the time to read my crazy streams of consciousness.
I am concerned that we have a divided wider-church along political agendas, demographic lines, institutional maintenance (and yes, sometime protection), and power-centers. Often it seems the sides and advocates on one side have a thick gospel and a rather thin ecclesiology; while the other has a thick ecclesiology and a thin gospel. My intention is to show the biblical links between evangelism (and the gospel) and the issues of poverty, which include racism, the issues of personhood, the role and responsibilities of the church, and christian discipleship. I seek a thick gospel and a thick ecclesiology. This has nothing to do with balance; for biblically, I do not believe you can have one without the other.
My Wasted posts and Wasted Quotes reflect my thinking and sometimes (patience is needed at this point by the reader) the process of my thinking on the subjects related to Wasted Evangelism. In the end, it is my hope to engage the Bible fairly and the Wasted subjects with deep biblical and theological reflections. And, some honest questions and observations thrown in as well.
Thanks for a great Wasted year and for reading my Wasted Blog posts.
I am the author of Wasted Evangelism: Social Action and the Church's Task of Evangelism, a deep, exegetical read into the Gospel of Mark.

The fast fueling characteristic of Plug Power's HFCs allows Lipari Foods to double the usage of its material handling fleet, without using precious real estate for batteries, battery charging, and battery charging equipment.
The partnership allows Lipari Foods to green its facilities, reducing greenhouse gases, while achieving operational savings. Previously, due to space constraints and business growth, Lipari Foods had to load up all their pallet jackets on twelve 53-foot trailers and ship them to another warehouse to charge every day. By harnessing the power of HFCs fast fueling, and space efficient GenFuel Hydrogen dispensers, Lipari Foods will no longer incur this cost.
"Lipari Foods is a new customer we're proud to work with, and they really showcase what we can offer: a sustainable, clean, and more cost-effective power option for material handling needs than traditional methods," said Andy Marsh, CEO of Plug Power. "And we're particularly happy to be an integral part of Michigan's continued efforts as a leader in the hydrogen economy."
"We're looking to continue to grow, expand, and create jobs in Warren and in Michigan broadly," said Lipari Foods' CEO, Thom Lipari. "Hydrogen quite literally is powering our factories and facilities to get us where we want to go. I'm excited to see where our partnership with Plug Power takes us, and to be a part of the clean, sustainable energy ecosystem in Michigan."
Al Moy, Director of Operations at Lipari Foods, said that Plug Power's HFCs were superior to traditional material handling methods including both battery fast-charging and opportunity charging: "I physically did not have the dedicated space for charging stations for fast or opportunity charging strategies—it just wasn't tenable," he explained. "By partnering with Plug Power, we're able to fully utilize our assets, maintain flexibility, maximize the velocity of goods, and do our jobs better and faster. Accomplishing this, while benefiting the environment and our company's bottom line, provides wins across the board."
In 2018 Lipari validated the value proposition with a pilot deployment of GenDrive fuel cells. This agreement will result in full conversion of the Warren, Michigan campus to Plug Power HFCs. The installation of the GenFuel hydrogen fueling station and the GenDrive fuel cell units is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2019.

Government Cracks Down on VPN Services Following Social Media Blocks in Zimbabwe
Zimbabweans have reported that their VPNs are failing to connect as they attempt to access Facebook, Twitter, and WhatsApp following social media blackout
By Charlotte Darrell 18 Jan 2019 12:00 GMT
As of 15th January, the Zimbabwean government has supposedly directed ISPs to block social media outlets after protests erupted over the announcement of a record fuel price hike. Now, it seems to be blocking the VPNs used to circumvent the website restrictions too.
The unrest broke out on Monday after the price of gasoline more than doubled overnight, jumping from $1.35 per liter to $3.33 – it is now the most expensive nation in the world to purchase fuel in. Citizens struggled to access a handful of social media sites soon after.
Denying citizens access to these sites is a move which echoes that of former Prime Minister Robert Mugabe whose government shut down messaging platform WhatsApp during protests in 2016.
Dissatisfied Zimbabweans who were able to bypass the blocks took to Twitter to raise awareness of their situation using the hashtag #ZimbabweShutDown.
Zimbabwean citizen Kerry Kay told TimesLIVE on Tuesday: "For the past three hours we have not been able to access WhatsApp. With the government shutting down the internet and social media – it's the final straw for human rights."
However, Monica Mutsvangwa, the Zimbabwean Minister of Information, denied knowledge of an internet shutdown.
Many frustrated citizens turned to VPN services in order to get past the blocks. Since the social media ban, average daily visits from Zimbabwe to Top10VPN.com have increased by 2,700% while VPN-specific searches from Google have increased by over 850%.
The Google Trends graph below illustrates the extent of this spike in VPN searches since the blocks were actioned.

Recently even accessing VPNs became more challenging when the government appeared to crack down on those services too.
Zimbabwe-based journalists reported connection failures when using VPNs on Tuesday afternoon. While it's not clear exactly which services have been blocked at this point, it's likely to be less advanced VPNs available free of charge, as they tend to be easier to detect.
Many top quality VPNs offer obfuscation tools and 'stealth' protocols that allow traffic to go under the radar, making it harder for censors to block.
Zimbabwe is just one of many countries that restricts access to social media platforms during times of unrest and heightened political activity, such as elections.
Director for Africa programs at Freedom House Jon Temin said: "We condemn the Zimbabwe government's attempt to suppress opposition to its economic policies by using excessive force against demonstrators, causing at least three deaths, and by blocking the social media platforms that citizens use to freely express their views."

There are two little words printed on the labels of all bottles of wine – 'contains sulphites'.
A legal requirement of virtually all countries of the world, the words are there for a reason, as are the sulphites.
They are the result of sulphur dioxide being added to the wine during the winemaking process. The reason for the addition is to help protect the wine from bacterial spoilage and oxidation. A bit like the mixture of sulphur and copper sulphate, which is sprayed on all grape vines (yes, even organic) to prevent mildew, it is a necessary evil.
Without the addition of sulphur dioxide, most wines would be undrinkable in a very short period of time.
However, some people are extremely sensitive to sulphites and can suffer health problems if exposed. Hence the warning on the bottles. The number of people at risk is actually quite low, but the number of people who appear to suffer some form of allergic reaction or sensitivity seems to be much higher. There is thus a movement in winemaking circles to reduce the addition of sulphites to the lowest possible level, without affecting the quality or longevity of the wine.
Another move afoot is the production of so-called 'natural' wines. These have no additives whatsoever, are fermented with natural yeasts and often bottled unfined and unfiltered. A great idea perhaps, but not one that works particularly well. Try some, and you'll see why. Wine is fragile and susceptible to spoilage from all sorts of causes, not least from oxidation on exposure to air. This is why various techniques are employed by winemakers to ensure that their quality product is enjoyable and stays that way for the intended life-span of the wine. One of these techniques is the addition of sulphur dioxide in carefully calculated amounts.
My personal belief is that sulphites are necessary, but the amount added should be as low as possible. I also believe that a scale should be produced and the level of sulphites in the wine at bottling should be shown, not just the words 'contains sulphites'.
So, if you are sensitive to sulphites and not convinced by natural wines, there is now a new type of wine being made in South Africa, which appears to tick all the right boxes.
The wines are marketed under the name Earth's Essence and are produced through a revolutionary process by the wine producing giant, KWV. Instead of adding sulphites, wood extracts from two native plants are used, which have naturally high levels of antioxidants, preserving the wines from spoilage through oxidation. The plants involved are the Rooibos and Honeybush, with the old wood from these plants being dried, finely milled and roasted, before being put into infusion bags for adding to the wine. This innovative approach is a new concept in winemaking, producing a true new world wine, using only natural products and no addition of sulphites.
As KWV themselves say: The Rooibos plant is as uniquely South African as the terroir where the grapes are grown".
Fermenting and maturing wine with this patented process, using wood from the Rooibos and Honeybush plants, is a natural way of keeping it sulphur free. A range of wines is produced, including a Sauvignon Blanc and the iconic South African red grape – Pinotage. Both of these are available at £9.99 through the online grocer, Ocado. In the next couple of months, they will be changing to Chenin Blanc and Syrah, as these grape varieties seem to work even better with the new process.
The process has been refined even further under the guidance of head winemaker Wim Truter, using essence of tannins from the plants, which interfere less with the varietal aromatics, but give the same protection to the wines. With the increasing yearly demand for organic foods and drinks, combined with greater awareness of environmental impact and conscious consumerism, this type of innovation could well prove a winner and the wines could get a wide loyal following.


Ever since I was little, I have always had a passion for helping others. I grew up learning that we help others.
It's 7:00 PM and the phone rings. Human Resources just called to offer me a job as a Kindergarten Teacher. My heart is racing and it won't slow down. Thoughts keep circling through my mind. I keep asking myself is this real? Is this really happening? I could not believe that this was happening. I had been on many interviews as I was searching for my dream job. My dream had finally come true! Orientation starts tomorrow. Let the teaching begin!
Teaching has always been a huge part of my life. While it was hard to get myself to actually go through with teaching, once I did there was no turning back. I had hesitated for a while with changing my majors because I didn't think I would be able to pass the Praxis. The Praxis was a test that Education majors had to take in order to get their teaching certificate. I wanted nothing to do with tests. I had struggled with test anxiety my whole life.
However, I pushed myself, after the fifth time of changing my major, to go through with getting my certification for teaching. From that moment I wanted to go to many different workshops to start learning what I needed to, so I could be the best teacher for my students.
My whole life I had prepared to be a teacher and now, I was going to be the best teacher ever, making an impact on students every day. I was going to be life changing for kids, every day. For 30 years.
Well, I didn't make it to 30 years. I didn't even make it one year. One week in, I had to resign due to having 100 panic attacks in the first week of school. I had prepared my whole life to be a teacher and now my dream was crushed. It was all gone.
From there, everything went downhill. I couldn't believe that I wasn't going to be teaching. I thought my life was over. Newly married and anxious beyond belief, I became a totally different person. I started to depend on my parents. It's almost like I went back into being 'little Carly', as that is what made me feel safe. I started to sabotage everything.
From countless therapy sessions, trying different medicines and hitting rock bottom: checking into a psychiatric hospital, I knew things needed to change.
Now, there is a happy ending to this story. I thank my anxiety every single day for helping me realize that I was supposed to be a teacher in a different way. During my journey of figuring out who I really was, I discovered a technique: Emotional Freedom Techniques also known as EFT. It changed my life so much that my mom and I partnered together to teach this technique: 'acupuncture without needles' to the other individuals who were struggling like me.
There is more to my story, but that is for another time. I was inspired to share this after I went through a very hard time in my life. I realized after being able to overcome this obstacle, I wanted to share ideas to empower you. I want you to realize that you are not alone. There are many people that are struggling with anxiety every day. The hard thing is that people are not sharing what is happening because they are embarrassed. I am hoping that my story will empower you to want to share your story and work towards managing your anxiety.
Some of you might be thinking, well I wish I could listen to what you did, but there is no hope for me! A huge lesson that I learned is, you need to believe in yourself. It starts with changing your mindset. If you continue to think negatively about what you are going through, then it is going to be hard for you to change your way of life. No matter what, there is help out there for you. Keep going and never give up. You've got this!
Please know that I am here, I've been there. I'd love for you to reach out to me, so I can support you in any way that I can. Click here to get connected.

Carifi, dePierro pass primary test in Parsippany
William Westhoven
@WWesthoven
PARSIPPANY – Unofficial results from Tuesday's primary election showed incumbent councilmen Paul Carifi Jr. and Michael dePierro — who feuded during the campaign while leading separate Republican tickets — advancing to the general election.
DePierro got the better of the primary battle with one of his running mates, Loretta Gragnani, also winning a line on the November ballot. She will be a heavy favorite to replace Brian Stanton, who did not run for re-election. But the elder statesman in Parsippany politics said that Carifi's victory tainted what he hoped would be a better night.
"It's going to be the same negative majority on the council, so it will be the 'same-old same-old,' " said dePierro, who has repeatedly battled with Carifi, Louis Valori and Robert Peluso over the last two years.
"My victory is bittersweet," said Carifi, who watched the returns on a computer projection screen at the Parsippany Elks Club. "I want to thank all of the residents who supported me. I would have liked to see the rest of my team win. I will continue to work tirelessly for each and every resident of our great town."
In a tight race, Gragnani edged out her running mate, former Councilman Vincent Ferrara, and John Beehler and Aida Visakay, who ran with Carifi. Unofficial results showed Carifi leading the field with 1,529 votes to dePierro's 1,505.
Asked if he could work in the future with dePierro, Carifi said "We have to. I hope that we do."
"I'm a professional. I do what's best for the town. If he works for the town, we will work together," dePierro said. "If he keeps doing the same crap he did before, we won't be."
DePierro was referring to Carifi's public feud with Mayor James Barberio and Township Attorney John Inglesino, which dates back several years, fueled at least in part by a conflict between the administration and his brother, former township police captain James Carifi, who filed a lawsuit against the township in 2011 claiming he was passed over for promotion.
The township responded by launching an internal affairs investigation into James Carifi for allegedly downloading or deleting more than 900,000 electronic documents when he retired in 2013.
The war has spilled over into council meetings, where Carifi, Valori and Peluso have formed a majority that claims the administration is running up excessive legal bills, including more than $200,000 paid to a security firm for conducting forensic examinations of the computers used by James Carifi.
The council majority also has blocked Inglesino's reappointment for the last two years (he continues as a holdover because Barberio refuses to nominate a replacement), and voted to file a lawsuit that would compel the mayor to fund a "Council as a Whole" it created last year to investigate the township's legal bills.
The Carifi team has alleged that dePierro rubber-stamps the decisions of Barberio and Inglesino. dePierro claims those councilmen are pursuing a personal vendetta that has interfered with township business.
The opposing tickets both waged aggressive primary campaigns. Ferrara, who went to court to challenge to his 2013 primary loss to Valori and Peluso (alleging voter fraud), produced a letter in April from the Morris County Board of Elections to the state Office of the Attorney General asking for "assistance in investigating this matter."
The Carifi ticket countered by revealing that a Washington-based super PAC that has backed Hilary Clinton and President Barack Obama in the past was funding campaign mailers for the dePierro ticket.
Along the way, both tickets picked up some high-powered endorsements. Last week, Barberio posted a statement on his Facebook page that Gov. Christie was endorsing the dePierro team. Members of the Morris County Board of Chosen Freeholders also have chimed in, with Freeholder and former Parsippany Councilman John Cesaro backing dePierro, while David Scapicchio and John Krickus are backing the Carifi group.
Gragnani, who owns and operates KBI Design Center in Lake Hiawatha, said she hopes that as a newcomer to the council, she can help bridge the gap between the warring factions of Parsippany government.
"I'm only hoping that when we have the November election, and the Republican party of Paul Carifi, Mike dePierro and myself are successful, that we can work together, and coherently, to get things done for the residents of Parsippany," she said. "Being a woman, I'm hoping I can sit down with the men, and when we have issues, I hope we can come to some good agreements, and not have the kind of disagreements that we have been having at the meetings."

How A Vending Machine Experiment Proved That Crows Can Create Tools From Memory
28 June 2018, 5:27 pm EDT By Steven Lerner Tech Times
It is well-documented that some birds can build tools, but it was never really sure if this information was ever passed down to birds or if it was acquired in a different way.
What Was Discovered About Crows?
A study revealed that New Caledonian crows have the mental capabilities to make tools and to pass down this knowledge for future generations of crows. In the past, some scientists believed that crows could only imitate this, instead of learning it.
The study was published in the journal Scientific Reports on June 28.
These crows can twist twigs into hooks just by using their own memories. Their ability to engineer tools is a trait that clever birds use over the course of many years.
Crows, in general, were always considered to be smart. They can remember human faces and they can hide their food. The concern was whether crows imitated the ability to build tools instead of the information being acquired from another crow. A 2002 study found that crows could model tools on the spot, but another study found that this trait was not genetically compelled.
"New Caledonian crow tool designs could be passed on to subsequent generations if an individual used or observed the products of tool manufacture (such as their parents' tools), formed a mental template of this type of tool design (a mental representation of some or all of the tool's properties), and then reproduced this template in their own manufacture," the authors wrote in the study.
The Experiment On Crows
Researchers conducted an experiment on the memory of crows. They trained eight wild crows to drop tiny bits of paper into a vending machine in order to get food. The researchers said that the crows discovered that only small pieces of paper measuring a specific length would be accepted into the vending machine.
To test the memory of the crows, the researchers removed all small pieces of paper. Instead, they gave the crows large cards that were too big for the vending machine. The crows used their beaks to tear apart the paper to create the same sizes as the original small pieces of paper. The crows created small pieces of paper that matched the same length. To prove that the crows used their memories, the researchers ensured that they could not spot any other pieces of paper that were the same size as the first bits. That means it was all done from memory.
Future Implications Of This Crow Study
Although crows are not the only intelligent birds, this study could shed new light on animals. It could help scientists understand natural selection, memory, and how nonprimates pass down information.
"The prime limitation on our appreciation of avian intelligence is the lack of creativity in our own experimental methods," Edward A. Wasserman, psychologist and brain scientist who was not involved with the study, told Gizmodo. "Birds keep looking smarter as we conduct more ambitious and assiduous experiments."

Jimmy Buffett Wants Web Site Shut Down
MARGARITAVILLE (AP) — Jimmy Buffett has filed a lawsuit alleging that a Galveston merchant is unlawfully using his trademark to sell goods at an online store.
A lawyer for Buffett said part of the problem is that some items on the Web site, which sells clothing and beach-themed novelties, are overpriced.
"Many of these products are ones (Akard is) not even authorized to sell, but primarily, the problem is that, in some cases, the markup on items is as high as 50 percent," lawyer Anthony Buzbee said. "Jimmy Buffett's not in business to make money, certainly not anymore, and he doesn't appreciate what this guy's been doing." This statement is somewhat odd, considering Buffett's numerous moneymaking ventures, including chains of cafes and shops which carry a wide range of Margaritaville-branded merchandise.
Songs recorded by Buffett, 59, include "Margaritaville," "Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes" and "Cheeseburger in Paradise."
Akard's attorney, Darrell Apffel, said he would "vigorously oppose" Buffett's efforts.
He said Buffett is a financial empire trying to shut down a small business, calling the complaint "a classic case of David versus Goliath."
Akard had already modified his Web site in response to complaints from Buffett's lawyers regarding what they said were implied ties between the site and the singer, Apffel said.
"After taking these steps, in good faith, to comply with these requests, Jimmy Buffett then sought a restraining order to shut down the site, without any warning to Mr. Akard or myself, as his attorney," Apffel said.
The site remained online Tuesday. Apffel said neither he nor Akard had been given notice of a restraining order.
A federal judge in Nevada shut down Akard's last Web site related to Jimmy Buffett, which was called parrotsofthecaribbean.com

1. The man failed to create attraction or demonstrate intent towards the girl.
The first instance is the most common. Often times a guy will like a girl but be too shy, unconfident or scared of being rejected to actually express any interest in the girl. As a result of this fear, he 'plays it safe' – in other words, he doesn't banter or flirt with the girl, nor does he reveal in any way, shape or form that he is attracted to the girl and may actually deny feeling attracted to the girl when questioned. For a girl to be interested in a guy sexually, she has to feel attracted, which comes from bantering, flirting and teasing, as well through displaying strong masculine characteristics, such as confidence, risk taking and being challenging. The fastest way to being friend zoned is to avoid all or most of these necessary behaviours. The girl will most likely never even know of a guy's interest if no teasing, flirting or displays of intent take place. The girl will therefore simply see the guy as a friend or a brother.
2. The man created attraction but failed to act upon this quickly enough.
In the second instance, the guy has created attraction through bantering, teasing and flirting, but has failed to escalate or act upon the interest of the girl. The vast majority of the time, the guy must make the first move. If attraction is generated between a man and a woman but the man does not follow this up with say, a kiss (or kiss attempt), then over time the girl will either a) assume that the guy isn't interested in her sexually, or b) that the guy is unconfident and unsure of himself and therefore too scared to make a move, resulting in a loss of attraction on her part.
• Generate attraction though teasing, flirting and being fun and playful.
The pain of getting rejected after taking a risk and going for a kiss with a girl you think is interested, is significantly less painful or soul-destroying than having never tried at all and eventually becoming friend zoned.
