The construction machinery slewing bearing manufacturer spain market is highly personalized, and different applications and usage requirements have different requirements for the structure and function of the same type of product. The slewing bearing manufacturer spain is generally an important part of various crawler type construction machinery. Its design strength and dynamic characteristics will directly affect the working performance and safety of the whole machine. In the construction machinery industry, the slewing bearing device is expensive and difficult to replace and repair. Therefore, the early failure of slewing bearing manufacturer spain is a failure phenomenon that the production enterprise and the user cannot accept.
Industry statistics show that 90% of early failures of slewing bearing manufacturer spain slewing bearings are caused by broken teeth. There are two main types of broken teeth: one is bending fatigue fracture, and the other is overload breaking. The main cause of fatigue fracture is that the dynamic load of the transmission system is too large, and the overload fracture is usually caused by the impact load of short-term severe overload, so that the stress of the gear teeth exceeds its ultimate stress. In addition, severe load concentration and excessive dynamic load may cause overload fracture. From the design point of view, the current selection of slewing bearing manufacturer spain is based on static selection calculation based on empirical knowledge, it is difficult to meet the specific requirements of individual chemical conditions.
Domestic and foreign scholars have carried out related research in the fields of gear dynamics, slewing bearing loading, slewing bearing fault diagnosis technology, gear deformation factors and life analysis, and have achieved many results. However, most of the researches do not start from the individualized actual working conditions of the slewing bearing. From the design point of view, the selection of the slewing bearing and the optimization design of the gear design parameters make it difficult to fundamentally solve the problem of broken teeth of the slewing bearing.

A Big Star Wars Announcement Is Coming Tuesday Morning
By Julia Bianco/April 10, 2017 9:50 am EST
You might want to move up your alarm Tuesday morning: Good Morning America is teasing a major Star Wars announcement at some point during its 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. show.
Daisy Ridley and Mark Hamill will stop by the show for the 40th anniversary of A New Hope, which many are hoping will coincide with the first trailer release for The Last Jedi. GMA's tease of "an announcement you won't want to miss" could mean that the trailer is coming a little early, or it could mean that we will get an official release date and possibly a short tease for the trailer instead.
However, some people believe that the announcement, which the show said will make you "want to be part of this force," is going to have to do with the Force for Change organization, which uses the star power of the franchise for good. While the organization has contributed a lot to charity over the years, fans are definitely hoping for something more from GMA's tease.
Good Morning America airs on ABC. While we wait for GMA's "Star Wars announcement 40 years in the making," find out why The Last Jedi will be better than you think.

Florida man allegedly uses flamethrower in neighborhood parking dispute
Three teenagers were inside the car
PUBLISHED: December 10, 2021 at 7:27 a.m. | UPDATED: December 10, 2021 at 7:35 a.m.
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — A Florida man angry over his neighbors' parking habits sprayed fire from a flamethrower toward a car with three teenagers inside, police said. No one was hurt.
The 57-year-old man is facing three counts of felony aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intending to kill, according to court records. He posted a $15,000 bond last week and is awaiting a decision on whether prosecutors will formally file criminal charges.
The mother of one of the teens, Ashley Gainey, said the neighbor frequently used the flamethrower to scare off guests at her home. Gainey's daughter, Nate'talya Baker, 16, fled the car with her friends as he continued to spray flames toward them, police said.
"When he shoots it, it lights the whole road up," Gainey said. "It's like it's daylight outside. He'll do it in the middle of the night."
In his arrest report, police identified the weapon in the Nov. 30 incident as an XM42 Lite Flamethrower, which shoots flames up to 20 feet. It sells for about $900 online.
It wasn't clear whether police had seized the flamethrower.
The suspect said in a brief phone interview that he could not discuss the case without consulting an attorney over fear of being evicted from his home by the local housing authority.
He acknowledged that the incident stemmed from a long-running dispute over parking with a neighboring family. Police said he admitted shooting the flamethrower toward the vehicle but denied targeting the teens.
"This family, how could I say this — the worst thing that could ever happen to a neighborhood," he said. "They've had issues with other residents, and it needs to be brought to light."

The driver of the parked car, Amari Singleton, told police she and her two passengers saw the neighbor approach them with the flamethrower and begin spraying fire. Police said flames came within five feet of the vehicle as they escaped using the passenger's side door.
"You better not burn up my car," Singleton said, according to police.
Gainey said she confronted the man during the incident.
"He shot it toward them," she said. "When I got to the door, he was still shooting it. I asked him, 'What is your effin' problem?'"
In the U.S., there are no federal laws regulating the sale of flamethrowers, which are not considered firearms. A congressman in New York introduced a restrictive bill he called "Flamethrowers? Really?" in 2019 but the measure didn't pass. Florida outlaws the manufacture or sale of shotgun shells called "dragon's breath" that mimic flamethrowers by shooting a flame or fireball.
The manufacturer of the XM42 Lite flamethrower, X Products of Vancouver, Wash., says in a promotional video: "You've probably wondered if you can own a flamethrower, and guess what? You can! No permits or licenses needed." It said the devices are legal to buy and own in every state except Maryland or California.
The company — which also sells T-shirts identifying the wearer as a "little terrorist" — requires buyers to accept a liability waiver and affirm they were never convicted of a felony, domestic abuse or arson.
The suspect in the Gainesville case was twice convicted of misdemeanor domestic battery after arrests in 2002 and 2004.

Q: Meaning of PropertyAttributes.HasDefault and PropertyBuilder.SetConstant I would like to ask what is the purpose of PropertyAttribute.HasDefault enum value in context of defining property using System.Reflection.Emit.TypeBuilder.DefineProperty method? When one should use PropertyAttributes.HasDefault and when PropertyAttributes.None and what does it change?
As far as I can see it's related to SetConstant method of PropertyBuilder but it doesn't really change default value of property as far as I was able to test, so what does SetConstant really do?
(I don't intent to change property's default value - just trying to understand what these things do)

A: SetConstant is a wrapper around TypeBuilder.SetConstantValue(), which is used to associate compile-time constants with certain IL metadata, most commonly parameters (with default values) and const fields.
Its usefulness for properties seems rather dubious; it does not affect what value is actually returned by the property's get accessor.  It would seem the default value set via SetConstant() can only be inspected in the metadata or via reflection.  It might be useful if you want to allow someone to determine the default value returned by a property using reflection or IL analysis only, but since the get accessor is not required to actually return that value, ever, it should be taken with a grain of salt.

Susie Lau's Style Bubble has been going for over a decade and includes intelligent articles on everything from underground global fashion talent to perfume. She also provides fascinating behind-the-scenes pieces on the real work it takes to create a beautiful Chanel garment. Then there's the tongue-in-cheek Man Repeller run by Leandra Medine and her team. Its smart, witty take on fashion is refreshing. And if over-the-top clothes aren't your thing, we've also found plenty of bloggers with more pared-back styles for the minimalists.
The announcement of import tax reductions follows changes in June 2015, when the government cut the tariffs on clothing, cosmetics and various other goods by half. Among the changes — easier tax refunds for overseas shoppers and accelerated openings of more duty-free shops in cities covered by the 72-hour visa scheme. The 72-hour visa was introduced in Beijing and Shanghai in January 2013 and has been extended to 18 Chinese cities.[44]

Military technology has played an important role in the fashion industry. The camouflage pattern in clothing was developed to help military personnel be less visible to enemy forces. A trend emerged in the 1960s and camouflage fabric was introduced to street wear. The camouflage fabric trend disappeared and resurfaced several times since then. Camouflage started to appear in high fashion by the 1990s.[39] Designers such as Valentino, Dior and Dolce & Gabbana combined camouflage into their runway and ready-to-wear collections.
Fashion relates to social and cultural context of an environment. According to Matika,[40] "Elements of popular culture become fused when a person's trend is associated with a preference for a genre of music…like music, news or literature, fashion has been fused into everyday lives." Fashion is not only seen as pure aesthetic values; fashion is also a medium for performers to create an overall atmosphere and express their opinions altogether through music video. The latest music video 'Formation' by Beyoncé, according to Carlos,[41] "The pop star pays homage to her Creole root.... tracing the roots of the Louisiana cultural nerve center from the post-abolition era to present day, Beyoncé catalogs the evolution of the city's vibrant style and its tumultuous history all at once. Atop a New Orleans police car in a red-and-white Gucci high-collar dress and combat boots, she sits among the ruins of Hurricane Katrina, immediately implanting herself in the biggest national debate on police brutality and race relations in modern day."
The media plays a significant role when it comes to fashion. For instance, an important part of fashion is fashion journalism. Editorial critique, guidelines, and commentary can be found on television and in magazines, newspapers, fashion websites, social networks, and fashion blogs. In recent years, fashion blogging and YouTube videos have become a major outlet for spreading trends and fashion tips, creating an online culture of sharing one's style on a website or Instagram account. Through these media outlets readers and viewers all over the world can learn about fashion, making it very accessible.[49]

Though different textile colors and patterns changed from year to year,[20] the cut of a gentleman's coat and the length of his waistcoat, or the pattern to which a lady's dress was cut, changed more slowly. Men's fashions were largely derived from military models, and changes in a European male silhouette were galvanized in theaters of European war where gentleman officers had opportunities to make notes of foreign styles such as the "Steinkirk" cravat or necktie.
Why: Kavita's been blogging for several years now and it's been amazing to watch her star rise, from her #OOTD shots as a sixteen year old through to a Coachella VIP frolicking with celebrities. Her bold colourful looks are a great blend of both high street and luxury, though she's got a soft spot for a Gucci bag – a girl after our own heart, basically.
Though there had been distribution of dressed dolls from France since the 16th century and Abraham Bosse had produced engravings of fashion in the 1620s, the pace of change picked up in the 1780s with increased publication of French engravings illustrating the latest Paris styles. By 1800, all Western Europeans were dressing alike (or thought they were); local variation became first a sign of provincial culture and later a badge of the conservative peasant.[22]
Today, people in rich countries are linked to people in poor countries through the commoditization and consumption of what is called fashion. People work long hours in one area of the globe to produce things that people in another part of the globe are anxious to consume. An example of this is the chain of production and consumption of Nike shoes, which are produced in Taiwan and then purchased in North America. At the production end, there is nation-building a hard working ideology that leads people to produce and entices people to consume with a vast amount of goods for the offering[clarification needed]. Commodities are no longer just utilitarian but are fashionable, be they running shoes or sweat suits.[65]
Why you should follow: Marissa Cox not only writes Rue Rodier, she's also one of Who What Wear's columnists, so you know we really rate her style. The fashionable Brit moved to Paris in 2013 but had to change up her style to match her chic new city. As a result, she's got some brilliant learnings to dish out when it comes to dressing French. Merci, indeed.
Modern Westerners have a wide number of choices available in the selection of their clothes. What a person chooses to wear can reflect his or her personality or interests. When people who have high cultural status start to wear new or different clothes, a fashion trend may start. People who like or respect these people become influenced by their personal style and begin wearing similarly styled clothes. Fashions may vary considerably within a society according to age, social class, generation, occupation, and geography and may also vary over time. If an older person dresses according to the fashion young people use, he or she may look ridiculous in the eyes of both young and older people. The terms fashionista and fashion victim refer to someone who slavishly follows current fashions.
Great Post, I chose to focus on the crowdfunding niche. It was a 2 billion dollar industry last year and is projected to be a 5 billion dollar industry this year. I recommend using Fiverr to use graphic designers for first time bloggers. I did use the logo designed for five dollars at the top of my site (bottom now) but stopped using it because it didn't look good on mobile.
Since the 1970's, fashion models of color, especially black men and women, have experienced an increase in discrimination in the fashion industry. In the years from 1970 to 1990, black designers and models were very successful, but as the 1990's came to an end, the fashion aesthetic changed and it did not include black models or designers.[89] In today's fashion, black models, influencers, and designers account for one of the smallest percentages of the industry.[89] There are many theories about this lack of diversity, that it can be attributed to the economic differences usually associated with race and class, or it can reflect the differences in arts schooling given to mostly black populated schools, and also blatant racism.
A report from New York Fashion (Spring 2015) week found that while 79.69% of models on the runway were white, only 9.75% of models were black, 7.67% were Asian, and 2.12% were Latina. The lack of diversity also accounts for not only designers but models too, out of four hundred and seventy members of The Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) only twelve of the members are black.[90] From the same study on New York Fashion Week, it was shown that only 2.7% of the 260 designers presented were black men, and an even smaller percentage were black female designers.[90] Even the relationship between independent designers and retailers can show the racial gap, only 1% of designers stocked at department stores being people of color. It was also found that in editorial spreads, over eighty percent of models pictured were white and only nine percent were black models. These numbers have stayed stagnant over the past few years.[90]
At the beginning of the 20th century, fashion magazines began to include photographs of various fashion designs and became even more influential than in the past.[50] In cities throughout the world these magazines were greatly sought after and had a profound effect on public taste in clothing. Talented illustrators drew exquisite fashion plates for the publications which covered the most recent developments in fashion and beauty. Perhaps the most famous of these magazines was La Gazette du Bon Ton, which was founded in 1912 by Lucien Vogel and regularly published until 1925 (with the exception of the war years).[51]
Black activists and supporters used fashion to express their solidarity and support of this civil rights movement. Supporters adorned symbolic clothing, accessories and hairstyles, usually native to Africa. Politics and fashion were fused together during this time and the use of these symbolic fashion statements sent a message to America and the rest of the world that African Americans were proud of their heritage.[86] They aimed to send an even stronger message that black is beautiful and they were not afraid to embrace their identities.[86] An example would the Kente cloth, it is a brightly colored strip of cloth that is stitched and woven together to create different accessories.[86] This woven cloth of brightly colored strips of fabric became a strong symbolic representation of pride in African identity for African Americans of the 1960's and later. It was developed into what is called a dashiki, a flowing, loose fitting, tunic style shirt. This cloth became one of the most notorious symbols of this revolution.[87]

Cohiba is one of the select cigar brands that have to go head to head in the international market with its Cuban counterpart, itself one of the world's best. That's rarefied company indeed, but the Dominican Cohiba is certainly equal to the challenge. The Dominican manufacturer Diaz y Cia proclaims Cohiba as "A world beyond other cigars." It's no idle boast. They back it up, and the rest of the cigar world knows it. This is one of those rare products about which little needs to be said. Cohiba – its reputation alone sells it.


Child labour is illegal in Iraq. But if there is death or disease in the family, minors are often forced to work. The authorities responsible for policing labour laws take a range of different attitudes to that.
An inspection team from the Ministry of Labour at work in Baghdad.
Just a few days after the beginning of the new school term in Baghdad and Mohammed Ali dropped out. He is 12. His father was killed in a bombing in the city a few months ago and now as the eldest of three sons he feels adult responsibility weighing heavily upon him.
"I just had to search for a job, any job, in order to bring food to my brothers and to my mother who is taking care of them," says Ali, who NIQASH met on the street. "I will never let her go out to search for a job as long as I am there for her."
After I have enough money for my father's medicines I can go back to school," the 10-year-old says optimistically.
Ali is sweating and he wears ragged clothing. He works as a porter and carries building materials, rocks and other heavy items around the city. He leaves home at sunrise and returns at sunset, eats just one meal a day that costs him about IQD1,000 (US$0.83) and gives the rest of his daily wages, IQD15,000 (around US$12) to his mother for housekeeping. He makes sure that his younger brothers are doing all right and he sleeps next to them in the same bed before getting up the next day to go out and do the same all over again.
Ali is just one of many underage labourers in Iraq. The number of child workers has increased significantly since 2003. Last year the United Nations children's' agency, UNICEF, said that more than half a million Iraqi children are thought to be working rather than at school. A lot of those cases are due to violence or displacement, as in Ali's situation. Iraq's own Ministry of Planning has higher numbers, saying that about one in five children, aged mostly between five and 14, work to support their families and themselves.
Iraqi law says that employees should not be younger than 15 and Article 29 of the Iraqi constitution guarantees the protection of mothers and children. "Economic exploitation of children in all of its forms shall be prohibited, and the State shall take the necessary measures for their protection," it says.
However, as is often the case in Iraq, legislation with the best of intentions is not always realised.
Haider is not yet 10 years old but he has been working at a blacksmith shop in Baghdad for the past nine months. His father is ill, he says, so he has to earn money to buy medicine and support the family with his wages.
As he talks, Haider is hiding a burn on his hand and carrying a hammer that looks as though it weighs more than him. The owner of the store gave him IQD10,000 (around US$8) to buy medicine for the burn but still the wound is not healing very fast.
"It's hard for me to watch my friends all going to school," he admits. "But I have no choice." In fact he says he would like to work more hours and earn more money. "After I have enough money for my father's medicines I can go back to school," he says optimistically.
Another boy NIQASH meets, Samir, has never gone to school. His father died three years ago when he was five years old and ever since then he has been working with his older brother as a carpenter to earn money for the family. He makes about IQD300,000 (around US$250) a month and he pays much of that as rent for the house where he lives with his brother, three sisters and their ill mother.
"The reason there is so much more child labour is due to the kinds of conditions in which Iraqis in poverty live," says Abdul Zahra al-Hindawi, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Planning. Almost a quarter of Iraqi families live in poverty, he adds.
The Ministry has drawn up plans to try and reduce poverty and child labour, al-Hindawi notes.
Iraq's Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs is also trying to work out how to prevent children under 15 from working. "A special team has been formed to eradicate this phenomenon and among other measures, they have identified certain areas where children are more likely to be working," a spokesperson for the Ministry, Ammar Menem Ali, told NIQASH.
Taha Mahmoud, who heads this special division, says that firstly employers are given a warning. Then if there is noncompliance, they are taken to the labour courts who issue verdicts against them.
The Ministry of the Interior also has community policing teams working to fight to prevent underage workers, even though they take a slightly more relaxed attitude.

string authorizationHeader = this.HttpContext.Request.Headers["Authorization"];

Where do I go from here? There are several tutorials but I new to .NET and authentication, could you explain in your answer exactly step-by-step the what and why you are doing.

A: Awesome answer from @DawidO.
If you are just looking to extract the basic auth creds and rely on the .NET magic given you have HttpContext, this will also work:
  public static void StartListener() {
    using (var hl = new HttpListener()) {
      hl.Prefixes.Add("http://+:8008/");
      hl.AuthenticationSchemes = AuthenticationSchemes.Basic;
      hl.Start();
      Console.WriteLine("Listening...");
      while (true) {
        var hlc = hl.GetContext();

        var hlbi = (HttpListenerBasicIdentity)hlc.User.Identity;
        Console.WriteLine(hlbi.Name);
        Console.WriteLine(hlbi.Password);

        //TODO: validater user
        //TODO: take action
      }
    }
  }

A: From my blog:
This will explain in detail how this all works:
Step 1 - Understanding Basic Authentication
Whenever you use Basic Authentication a header is added to HTTP Request and it will look similar to this:

Authorization: Basic QWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuIHNlc2FtZQ==

Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication
"QWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuIHNlc2FtZQ==" is just "username:password" encoded in Base64(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base64). In order to access headers and other HTTP properties in .NET (C#) you need to have access to the current Http Context:
HttpContext httpContext = HttpContext.Current;

This you can find in System.Web namespace.
Step 2 - Getting the Header
Authorization header isn't the only only one in the HttpContext. In order to access the header, we need to get it from the request.
string authHeader = this.httpContext.Request.Headers["Authorization"];

(Alternatively you may use AuthenticationHeaderValue.TryParse as suggested in pasx's answer below)
If you debug your code you will see that the content of that header looks similar to this:

Basic QWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuIHNlc2FtZQ==

Step 3 - Checking the header
You've already extracted the header now there are several things you need to do:

*

*Check that the header isn't null

*Check that the Authorization/Authentication mechanism is indeed "Basic"

Like so:
if (authHeader != null && authHeader.StartsWith("Basic")) {
    //Extract credentials
} else {
    //Handle what happens if that isn't the case
    throw new Exception("The authorization header is either empty or isn't Basic.");
}

Now you have check that you are have something to extract data from.
Step 4 - Extracting credentials
Removing "Basic " Substring
You can now attempt to get the values for username and password. Firstly you need to get rid of the "Basic " substring. You can do it like so:
string encodedUsernamePassword = authHeader.Substring("Basic ".Length).Trim();

See the following links for further details:

*

*http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.string.substring(v=vs.110).aspx

*http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/t97s7bs3(v=vs.110).aspx
Decoding Base64
Now we need to decode back from Base64 to string:
//the coding should be iso or you could use ASCII and UTF-8 decoder
Encoding encoding = Encoding.GetEncoding("iso-8859-1");
string usernamePassword = encoding.GetString(Convert.FromBase64String(encodedUsernamePassword));

Now username and password will be in this format:
username:password

Splitting Username:Password
In order to get username and password we can simply get the index of the ":"
int seperatorIndex = usernamePassword.IndexOf(':');

username = usernamePassword.Substring(0, seperatorIndex);
password = usernamePassword.Substring(seperatorIndex + 1);

Now you can use these data for testing.
The Final Code
The final code may look like this:
HttpContext httpContext = HttpContext.Current;

string authHeader = this.httpContext.Request.Headers["Authorization"];

if (authHeader != null && authHeader.StartsWith("Basic")) {
    string encodedUsernamePassword = authHeader.Substring("Basic ".Length).Trim();
    Encoding encoding = Encoding.GetEncoding("iso-8859-1");
    string usernamePassword = encoding.GetString(Convert.FromBase64String(encodedUsernamePassword));

    int seperatorIndex = usernamePassword.IndexOf(':');

    var username = usernamePassword.Substring(0, seperatorIndex);
    var password = usernamePassword.Substring(seperatorIndex + 1);
} else {
    //Handle what happens if that isn't the case
    throw new Exception("The authorization header is either empty or isn't Basic.");
}

A: Just adding to the main answer, the best way to get rid of the "Basic" substring is to use AuthenticationHeaderValue Class:
var header = AuthenticationHeaderValue.Parse(Request.Headers["Authorization"]);
var credentials = header.Parameter;

It will throw a FormatException if the content of the header is not valid, e.g.: the "Basic" part is not present.
Alternatively if you do not want to have exception, use AuthenticationHeaderValue.TryParse

A: Remember, using strings can be less secure. They will remain in memory untill they are picked by GC.

AUPE wants Redford to address wage disparity between women and men
Blog | March 07, 2012
By Marty Klinkenberg, Edmonton JournalEDMONTON - The Alberta Union of Provincial Employees plans to press the Redford government to address a disparity in pay equity in the wake of a report that shows women working full-time in the province earn 68 per cent as much as men.The study by the Alberta College of Social Workers and the Parkland Institute, a public policy research group, says Alberta ranks with Newfoundland and Labrador as having the highest wage gap in the country. The report released Wednesday, the eve of International Women's Day, shows Alberta has made little progress in the past three decades. Since 1998, the wage difference between genders has grown three per cent."There is definitely a problem, and it's disappointing," said Glen Scott, a vice-president with the AUPE. "We are hoping that this report will make this a topic again."This isn't a union thing. Everyone has a mother or a wife or a sister or a daughter, so it affects all of us. Our message is that women give 100 per cent and deserve to be compensated at that level. It's 2012."Scott said the union's committee on pay equity will lobby Alberta's 17 female MLAs, including Alison Redford, the first woman to serve as premier."As a woman, you would think she would be more sensitive to these issues, but the province doesn't even have pay equity legislation," Scott said. "The government clearly seems OK with the status quo."Kathy Telfer, spokeswoman for the province's Human Services Department, said it was difficult for the government to respond Wednesday because it had just begun to peruse the report."Wage equity is a complex issue and you can't just put stats out there alone," Telfer said. "You have to look at what is going on and what attempts are being made to encourage women's participation in the workforce."In November, Redford assigned Human Services Minister Dave Hancock to develop a social policy framework, and Telfer said the province is working with provincial and federal counterparts to look at the issue. The province has introduced programs to encourage female students to enter fields traditionally dominated by men, including oil and gas and other resource-based industries.Just last week, a survey released by government pinned the average hourly wage at $24.84, a slight increase from 2009, when the average hourly wage was $24.34. Figures quoted in the Parkland Institute study released Wednesday were based on data obtained from Statistics Canada in 2009.In addition to the overall wage gap, the study also found women fare far worse than men in the key earning years between 25 and 44, that the gap increases with age and that women are more dependent on low-wage, part-time jobs. It also points out that Alberta is the only jurisdiction in Canada that lacks a minister or advisory council on the status of women."We have been advocating on behalf of women for what seems like eons," said Brian Henderson, president of the Edmonton District Labour Council. He said employers "have to take a look at the pay scale for women. It has to be employers that correct this difference."Diana Gibson, research director at the Parkland Institute, said the wage gap has fluctuated, but that the trend is troubling."It ebbs and it flows, but we're not anywhere near where we should be," she said. "When you know there is tremendous wealth in the province and you see women so far behind, it's very disappointing."Hopefully, the premier's social policy framework will allow everyone to benefit."By Marty Klinkenberg, Edmonton [email protected]

Leaving Party 🎉
The golden rule for the cognoscenti when you leave a job is to walk out and don't look back. Any glance in the rea-view mirror offers you only a glimpse of second-raters picking bits off your professional reputation for their own ends.
It's a harsh blow to be basking in your own irrelevance, which is the normal ticket once you've left the building. In-role, and big cheeses cannot move for the barely breathing corpses of sycophants. Once out, their phone stops ringing completely, and their legacy gets shredded by those whose incompetence can be conveniently folded into alleged historical shortcomings. In fact, once it's clear that the chief is on their way, their influence evaporates in an instant.
Leavers should also eschew the fabled leaving party. For the narcissistic, this is a last supper during which more than just three cocks will crow. Why bother sucking up unactionable barbs when you can just walk away without feeling even more embittered.
Corbachev has for some time been experiencing 'former boss' syndrome that defenestrated leaders have to weather in the months after being shunted out. His former lickspittles have been ousted, his policies sidelined, and the final blow was going to be a formal report from an independent body, the EHRC.
In every other circumstance, the EHRC is a blundering, heaving, constipated waste of hot air. This time however, they would be popping diamonds from their bureaucratic large intestine.
For Corby, his day job meant he was still going to be hanging round the office, so he had to be cut adrift and fast. His renowned unrelenting refusal to bend meant that he was never going to walk away from the smear that had dogged him throughout his tenure.
It was therefore a dead cert that he was going to respond, and that is not a crime. So, they upped the ante and made it one. Or rather conflated any 'claims that antisemitism might have been exaggerated' with 'antisemitism' itself.
That's some step. This is finding fault with opinion, which is extremist by any measure and a red line in any legal setting. This is thought police territory. And so, it came to pass – Jezza tossed out his opinion and was suspended by the party now led by the man who had backed him in the face of all the previous allegations of antisemitism.
The blatant injustice of it all is what makes the suspension almost Conservative Party in nature. It has a certain vicious knife-twist about it; to tar somebody with an evil that is marinated in hypocrisy.
It is now antisemitic simply to dispute the findings of a report into antisemitism. Let the bonkers rationale of that sink in for a moment.
You could argue that Corbachev horlicksed up how antisemitism had been addressed during his leadership. The same could be said of the botching of Brexit policy and the fantastical goody-bag manifesto. But all that malarkey was at worst a failure of leadership, and he's already been sent on his way for that.
But this isn't about kicking out antisemitism. It's a proxy war to kick out socialism and get closer to power.
So, there may be trouble ahead, and not just in terms of a lefty purge. The last time such a clear-out was undertaken, Labour imploded and went on to lose two elections. Worryingly, that was with some talent on the shadow front bench, which is a luxury that the party no longer enjoys.
Bashing Corby, like pinging out a few cyclists in the old SUV, will absolutely gain some nodding approval from centrist floaters. But ultimately, the Starmbannführer will win votes only if he has anything meaningful to say.
And so far, he hasn't.

Gundogan: Pep has shown everyone why he is the best
Rob Pollard
@RobPollardMCFC
Tue 23 Feb 2021, 13:20
Ilkay Gundogan believes Pep Guardiola has reaffirmed his status as the world's best manager in recent months.
Sterling reveals most important lesson learned from Guardiola
City were 11th in the Premier League in late November after a 2-0 defeat to Tottenham, forcing Guardiola to make subtle changes to the team dynamic.
Since then, we're unbeaten in 25 matches, winning 22 and drawing three.
Indeed, we've won our last 18 on the bounce, a sequence of results that mean we are now 10 points clear at the top of the Premier League table and in contention for all three major knock-out competitions.
It's been a dazzling upturn in form, and Gundogan has hailed the manager's impact in helping alter the course of our campaign.
"I'm not really surprised we've turned it around, but we knew we were not at our best," Gundogan said.
"Our manager did the right things at the right time. He saw something was wrong and missing and he adjusted a few things - how we defend and how we play with the ball.
"That's why he is the best manager in the world. It's incredible.

"I never thought in December about where we would be in February, but did I expect to be in this position? Maybe not.
"But I know we're capable of a lot of things and knew we had great quality in the squad and knew we could go on a great run like we are.
"But it doesn't come automatically. You have to adjust, and we did. Everyone did a great job."

B Mgladbach
23-man squad departs ahead of Champions league last-16 tie
Meanwhile, Gundogan says Wednesday's opponents Borussia Monchengladbach are a side capable of beating anyone.
We face Marco Rose's side in Budapest in the first leg of our Champions League last-16 tie.
They have slipped to eighth in the Bundesliga having picked up just two points from their last four matches, but came through a difficult Champions League Group B, finishing ahead of Shakhtar Donetsk and Inter Milan to finish as runners up behind Real Madrid.
Gundogan, an avid watcher of German football, says, at their best, Gladbach's attractive, attacking style is a match for any team.
"Gladbach have the necessary quality and can play active, aggressive football," he said.
"They have the right attitude and a good squad. Have a mix of players and are prepared to put in the work and in modern football you have to be able to.
"A mix of creativity, mentality and that leads to success.
"Qualifying for the Champions League comes from the work they have done in the last few years.
"Not everything works perfectly, that's normal. On a good day, they can give anyone a game. They are a strong side.
"The difficulty was in the last couple of weeks. I've seen them a lot in the last few months and they have a great team, great spirit and on a good day can beat anyone, they did with Shakhtar Donetsk in the group stage.
"They have a lot of quality, energy and drive. They may have struggled for a couple of games but that does not deny that.
"We know how good they are and they want to play football. It should be a great two games."
We will have full coverage of Wednesday's game against Gladbach right here on ManCity.com.
Our Matchday Centre will get under way at 6pm, with text updates throughout the evening meaning you won't miss a beat.

Condos in the Suburb: What are the Drivers Behind the Decision to Move into Suburban Condominiums?
Yan_Cyrus.pdf (5.250Mb)
Yan, Cyrus
High-rise residential condominiums are increasingly utilized by suburban municipalities in Canada as an alternative to suburban sprawl for accommodating population growth. Despite its increasing adoption, little research exists to support the effectiveness of this growth management tool, and a key indicator of its success is on whether its suburban condo dwellers exhibits a consumption pattern and lifestyle that are more urban in character. This study offers a comparative analysis on the lifestyles and motivations of suburban condominium dwellers, their respective municipalities, and condominiums clusters located in the downtowns of Toronto and Vancouver. It finds that the suburban 'condo boom' is fueled by a transient population characterized by tenuous socio-demographic status, childless and small households, and is currently not in a position to replace lower density forms of housing. In addition, the characteristics indicative of an urban form of living, namely that of reduced land consumption and auto-dependency, and increased levels of active transportation and public transit use, are either absent or only realized to a limited degree. The problems of how to ensure larger, relatively affordable condominium units, and how to enhance the transit-supportiveness of the suburban downtown are distilled from the findings as key issues to overcome, and five recommendations are made to address them.

I am an Olympic snowboard athlete and spend each winter travelling the world training and competing on snow. I have done this for the past 14 years and have experienced hugely differing conditions from sweltering heat to the coldest competition I've been at was minus 36c and that was without wind chill!
When I am at a competition I'm doing everything I can to make sure my body is warm and ready to perform when I need it, that's not too easy when it's freezing cold! For several years I just accepted that being cold was part of my sport but since approaching Lenz 6 months ago – all this has now changed.
I recently reviewed the Lenz heated vest (place link here) where for the first time ever I've been able to keep my core warm even in freezing temperatures using heated Lenz technology, today I'm reviewing the Lenz heated gloves!
On opening the packaging, first impressions were that these are a strong and sturdy glove, its good to see that they are made of strong material as these gloves are not just meant to keep my hands warm, they have to deal with me carrying my snowboard with razor sharp edges, falling on snow and ice, pretty much having to deal with everything I handle which needs strong material.
They come with an integrated power button on the top of the glove which sits next to 3 small LED's which are used to decide how warm you want them, the power button is easily accessed, easily pressed and together with the LEDS the glove looks stylish.
Just like the Lenz vest, soon as you turn the battery on the gloves heat up straight away, I put it straight onto heat level 3 (highest with 3 LED's) and within about 2 minutes I had to turn them down to two as my hands were really warm… It was about -8 celcius during the test. The battery is much smaller than that used for the Lenz vest which is great as it doesn't get in the way of the gloves. The battery lasted all day even though when it got a bit colder at lunch time I upped to heat level 2.

Q: How to convert a very large hex number to decimal in javascript I am trying without much success to convert a very large hex number to decimal.
My problem is that using deciaml = parseInt(hex, 16)
gives me errors in the number when I try to convert a hex number above 14 digits.
I have no problem with this in Java, but Javascript does not seem to be accurate above 14 digits of hex.
I have tried "BigNumber" but tis gives me the same erroneous result.
I have trawled the web to the best of my ability and found web sites that will do the conversion but cannot figure out how to do the conversion longhand.
I have tried getting each character in turn and multiplying it by its factor i.e. 123456789abcdef
15 * Math.pow(16, 0) + 14 * Math.pow(16, 1).... etc but I think (being a noob) that my subroutines may not hev been all they should be because I got a completely (and I mean really different!) answer.
If it helps you guys I can post what I have written so far for you to look at but I am hoping someone has simple answer for me.
   <script>
   function Hex2decimal(hex){

   var stringLength = hex.length;
   var characterPosition = stringLength;
   var character;

   var hexChars = new Array();
   hexChars[0] = "0";

    document.writeln("String Character = " + character);
    hexChar = hexChars[index];
    document.writeln("Hex Character = " + hexChar);

A: The New 'n' Easy Way
var hex = "7FDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD";
if (hex.length % 2) { hex = '0' + hex; }

var bn = BigInt('0x' + hex);

var d = bn.toString(10);

BigInts are now available in most browsers (except IE).
Earlier in this answer:

*

*BigInts are now available in both node.js and Chrome. Firefox shouldn't be far behind.
If you need to deal with negative numbers, that requires a bit of work:

*

*How to handle Signed JS BigInts
Essentially:
function hexToBn(hex) {
  if (hex.length % 2) {
    hex = '0' + hex;
  }

  var highbyte = parseInt(hex.slice(0, 2), 16)
  var bn = BigInt('0x' + hex);

  if (0x80 & highbyte) {
    // You'd think `bn = ~bn;` would work... but it doesn't

    // manually perform two's compliment (flip bits, add one)
    // (because JS binary operators are incorrect for negatives)
    bn = BigInt('0b' + bn.toString(2).split('').map(function (i) {
      return '0' === i ? 1 : 0
    }).join('')) + BigInt(1);
    bn = -bn;
  }

  return bn;
}

A: Ok, let's try this:

    function add(x, y) {
        var c = 0, r = [];
        var x = x.split('').map(Number);
        var y = y.split('').map(Number);
        while(x.length || y.length) {
            var s = (x.pop() || 0) + (y.pop() || 0) + c;
            r.unshift(s < 10 ? s : s - 10);
            c = s < 10 ? 0 : 1;
        }
        if(c) r.unshift(c);
        return r.join('');
    }

    var dec = '0';
    s.split('').forEach(function(chr) {
        var n = parseInt(chr, 16);
        for(var t = 8; t; t >>= 1) {
            dec = add(dec, dec);
            if(n & t) dec = add(dec, '1');
        }
    });
    return dec;
}

Test:
t = 'dfae267ab6e87c62b10b476e0d70b06f8378802d21f34e7'
console.log(h2d(t))

prints
342789023478234789127089427304981273408912349586345899239

which is correct (feel free to verify).

A: Notice that "0x" + "ff" will be considered as 255, so convert your hex value to a string and add "0x" ahead.
function Hex2decimal(hex)
{
    return ("0x" + hex) / 1;
}

A: If you are using the '0x' notation for your Hex String, don't forget to add s = s.slice(2) to remove the '0x' prefix.

A: Keep in mind that JavaScript only has a single numeric type (double), and does not provide any separate integer types. So it may not be possible for it to store exact representations of your numbers.
In order to get exact results you need to use a library for arbitrary-precision integers, such as BigInt.js. For example, the code:
var x = str2bigInt("5061756c205768697465",16,1,1);
var s = bigInt2str(x, 10);
$('#output').text(s);

Correctly converts 0x5061756c205768697465 to the expected result of 379587113978081151906917.
Here is a jsfiddle if you would like to experiment with the code listed above.

A: The BigInt constructor can take a hex string as argument:
/** @param hex = "a83b01cd..." */
function Hex2decimal(hex) {
    return BigInt("0x" + hex).toString(10);
}

Usage:
Hex2decimal("100");

Output:
256

A rip-off from the other answer, but without the meaningless 0 padding =P

If you think that what is happening in Syria is simply a struggle for democracy and human rights, then think again. The uprising in Syria is a battle for the soul of the country, and through that, for the soul of the entire Arab world. Whether your particular flavour is Egyptian, Tunisian, Libyan or Yemeni, the schism in the Arab psyche is at risk of tearing this part of the world even farther apart - or healing those divisions. I'm a Syrian, but when I support the revolution I'm not just cursing some mysterious and spiteful 'Other' that has attacked my country, whatever the hell that concept means today (if ever it meant anything before), instead I feel that I am cursing that aspect of my personality, the aspect that is evil, that is a scoundrel, and that will spit on anything you think is holy. I don't think I necessarily want to get rid of that part of me, but I need to put it under control. Otherwise I will live like a beast, shunned by all men and civilised life.
I think the same applies to Syria as a nation today. The soldier that tears down a minaret, or presses his boot down on the neck of a man old enough to be his father, cursing him and asking him to call Bashar his "god", did not come from another country, nor was he given some pills or horrible medicine to make him an animal. He came from within us. We produced him, nurtured him and allowed him to become what he is today through our own silence. Complicity through silence...it is an interesting thought, but is that really it? I'll leave that to you to think about as you drink your coffee in the comfort of your own home. The people who have already answered that question don't have internet access and are too busy oppressing or being oppressed. They don't read blogs but rather they are making a history that we can then blog about. So again, who is this soldier, thug or paramilitary?
You hit the nail on the head.. great posting!

Berbatov Snubs Bulgaria's Call for National Team Comeback

Dimitar Berbatov, the former Bulgarian striker of Manchester United who has just been sold to Fulham, has refused the call of the Bulgarian national football team head coach Lyuboslav Penev to come back to defend the national colors.
Speaking to Bulgarian reporters on Monday, Berbatov explained he stands firm behind his decision from May 2010 when he quit the national team, apparently feeling uneasy in the team's scandalous atmosphere.
"Things are not as simple as they seem. Even if we leave aside the things that were [back then]. Lyuboslav Penev was the only one who made everything possible to make me feel welcome so that I can see that he wants me back," Berba said at a news conference in Sofia.
"We met at least twice, as friends. We discussed it but at the end of the day the choice I made in the past still stands today," he added.
In his words, his times has already "passed", and he would be unable to readjust to the routine at the Bulgarian national football team.
"I haven't been in the national squad for two years, I have certain habits of life, practice. My time is passing, it is time for you to look for somebody else. I hope that you will find him. I know that the boys will do well without me," Berbatov said without ever elaborating on the true reasons behind his unwillingness to play for Bulgaria.
He did admit he had told Bulgaria's head coach Penev that he would consider coming back.
"I can only wish them all the best," Berbatov said regarding Bulgaria's national football team.
Dimitar Berbatov announced at the beginning of May 2010 his retirement from international football with immediate effect. He was Bulgaria's captain and all-time top scorer with 48 goals in 74 matches, surpassing even the legendary Hristo Stoickov.

DIPLOMATIC WORLD FEATURING THE HUS.INSTITUTE
We had the pleasure of welcoming Barbara Dietrich, director of the Magazine «Diplomatic World» at the Co-Creation day workshop in March in Cologne. We then were part of their Spring 2017 edition with an article about «A new way of thinking - the transformation is underway»:
THE TRANSFORMATION IS UNDERWAY
Our economy and society is forced to reconsider and transform its ways of thinking due to the conventional forms of natural resource usage, a collective worldview that mostly still clings to an idea of encapsulated local hordes rather than a globally-connected humankind and most importantly: the epochal transition from the Gutenberg era into the Digital Modern. THE HUS.institute, a think and do tank based in the Principality of Liechtenstein, critically assists decision makers in this transformation. Innovative new styles of collaboration are evolving out of necessity and bright minds are engaging with this matter actively developing new lines of thought and leadership.
Referring to the mission of THE HUS.institute, its CEO Christopher Patrick Peterka states: "We collectively believe that the way we run this planet no longer works. Simultaneously, many of those bright minds who constantly travel the world feel rather powerless because they perceive themselves as only a tiny little element in this gigantic machine that just seems to keep running in ways beyond individual influence. Our vision is to create an example using the Principality of Liechtenstein by bringing together crucial elements of knowledge, motivation and a culture of resolute action within THE HUS.institute so we can show that we all can transform old structures into new ones swiftly". Together with Rudi Hilti, he founded the think tank six months ago.
THE HUS.institute and its partners strive to transform the Principality of Liechtenstein into the first global exponential nation. They invite the micro nation´s movers and shakers to jointly push for the goal to become the first to reach all 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. Rudi Hilti believes in the power of showing that it can be done: "We want to show other countries that it is possible and through doing so, empowering them to reach the SDG goals as well. Healthy earth service systems should become a matter of course as soon as possible again". THE HUS.institute calls upon a global community of like-minded people who favour the combination of diversity, tolerance, creative sustainable prosperity with the necessary return of investment. No more than 150 first generation transformers of cross-generation family offices, industry experts, and creatives shall work together as a network to tap into the tremendous potential of the Digital Modern era beyond fear and greed. For all partners within THE HUS.institute, massive transformative purpose is the smallest denominator for all action being carried out.
RADICAL OPENNESS - A NEW MODEL OF DIPLOMACY AND INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION
The digital modern era comes with millions of opportunities: Soon anyone will be able to understand anyone else from around the world in real time with the help of intelligent translation services, artificial intelligence frees people from repetitious labor, and people are only a few years away from having driverless cars in everyday life sparing them time in tremendous volumes – just to name a few. All of those innovations are transforming the ways of thinking and how people collaborate with each other. Their value orientation will continue to change and all the partaking players need to adapt to new ways of diplomacy. The problems of the world can only be solved when people rethink how Government and Non-Governmental Organisations cooperate internationally, as well as private sector businesses and individuals across the world.
Christopher Patrick Peterka suggests: "If we are interested in keeping our mandates in designing economy and society as human beings ourselves instead of machines, we need to start with a radically open discussion and systematic ways of applying new solutions today".
THE HUS.institute works on the design of a new digital citizenship product that combines the benefits of access to the European market, education on the Digital Modern and asset protection services. Rudi Hilti explains: "We consider digital, social, and sustainable as being factors of a new normality that we shouldn't explicitly have to name separately anytime soon as characteristics of what we do. The new normal of the Principality of Liechtenstein needs to be a combination of impactful investments, cleantech industries and talent development institutions. In short: a purposeful life in the Digital Modern".
THE HUS HOSTS CO-CREATION DAY WORKSHOP IN COLOGNE
In the course of the 20. World Business Dialogue in Cologne, THE HUS.institute hosted a sprint-exploration for 25 selected international students. The founders, Christopher Patrick Peterka and Rudi Hilti, as well as transformer, Yang Zhao, guided the "Exploration to Sustainability" on the topics of "Digital Citizenship", "CleanTech", and "China". The workshop took place on 6. and 7. March 2017.
The experience was kicked off by an "Ignition Dinner" at Wertheim, a co-working venue in central Cologne. Through his speech, Christopher Peterka lit a deep and effective spark to motivate those attending the workshop. His presentation finished with a slide that stated: "We need to fall in love with the future again. Let's swap panic mode for crazy love." Over 15 nationalities were represented.
On Tuesday the students worked on different tasks. Peterka's group drafted different Digital Citizenship products for the Principality of Liechtenstein. The CleanTech group explored the potentials for sustainable development within the country with Rudi Hilti, who himself grew up in Liechtenstein. Yang Zhao discussed various challenges China faces at the moment and explored how other countries can learn from its development.
All attendees had the unique opportunity to witness a live call with Kaspar Korjus, the e-Residency Programme Managing Director of Estonia. He stated that he can pay his taxes in seven seconds, and explained that by now more than 15,000 people from different countries have applied for e-residency already. With transnational digital identity, it is possible to register a company online, perform e-banking transactions, access international payment service providers, declare taxes online, manage a company remotely, and digitally sign documents and contracts. Some students elaborated on and pitched their own ideas for a digital citizenship product for the Principality of Liechtenstein at the day's conclusion. More information on the workshop output will be published shortly.
THE HUS.institute is also the official presenter of the panel "Space as a Market" at the 20. World Business Dialogue conference. Christopher Peterka delivered a keynote speech to open the panel on Thursday, 9 March. He stated the importance of an ethically responsible approach to space as a market in terms of both environmental as well as social fairness. Given the standing cooperation between THE HUS.institute and "Innovation 4.4.", a US non-for-profit organisation identifying, commercializing, and scaling technologies most relevant to humanity with strong ties to NASA Ames in Mountain View, California, Peterka pointed out the chances of technology transfers from space exploration to earth based industries especially.
Together with its partners THE HUS.institute runs a "Fast-Track Liechtenstein" programme that is intended to speed up growth and internationalisation for mature companies. The programme also contains a track exclusively focused on impact investments in space. Interest from organisations rooted in fin- and cleantech is also very welcome.


This article contains instructions on how to perform an in-place upgrade to Windows 10 Anniversary Update, Creators Update, and Fall Creators Update from previous Windows versions.
In Windows 10, major updates can be performed the same way as doing an in-place upgrade. If a system is fully encrypted using the Trend Micro Full Disk Encryption agent, the upgrade fails because it requires drivers to access the data on the disk.
Prior to the upgrade, Trend Micro recommends to upgrade to the latest build of the Full Disk Encryption agent. You can check the latest build from the Download Center.
Starting with the Windows 10 Anniversary Update release, Microsoft provides a new command line parameter /ReflectDrivers. It specifies the path to a folder that contains encryption drivers for a computer that has third-party encryption enabled. PnP will install these drivers so that when WinRE is brought up, the driver is installed and the upgrade can continue.
Trend Micro recommends to ensure all Windows updates are applied before upgrading the Operating System to Windows 10 Anniversary Update. It can reduce the possibility of encountering errors during the upgrade.
Download the Windows 10 Update ISO from Microsoft.
Run Setup.exe /ReflectDrivers "C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\Full Disk Encryption\drivers"


1. You epitomize leading a life of quiet desperation. Half of the reason youre anxious all the time is because you dont naturally act or, therefore, process your emotions, and while thats positive in some ways, its debilitating in others.
2. Youre naturally zen in that you observe your emotions objectively. Which is fantastic in that youre not controlled by them, but harmful because you then start to believe that you only have to process or truly feel the ones you want.
3. Youre highly indecisive; your head and heart are a paradox all within themselves. You feel as though youre always going back and forth between preparing for the worst and hoping for the best, and rarely in-between.
4. Youre laid back because you know how to quiet your mind. Most of your #chill lifestyle was developed out of necessity. Your brain starts to short circuit when you overload it with any more drama or worry, so you actively go out of your way to create a life where the only problems you have are the ones you make up in your mind.
5. Youre intelligent enough to know what could possibly happen, but grounded enough to know that worrying about it wont prevent it. Youre aware that ultimately, an infinity of unfortunate fates are to fall on us all. You often think that the whole problem with humans is that were animals that dont want to be animals beings who do everything in their power to make their collective eventuality (death) more palatable in any way.
6. Yet, youre most comfortable with your life when you feel prepared for the worst. Your mind constantly goes back to what youd do if you were to lose a job, lose a relationship, etc., and when you realize that your savings account will support you or that you wont be emotionally wrecked by losing one particular person, you feel free to happily go about your life.
7. You seek solitude and relaxing environments so your brain can process and deprogram and let off steam. Youre not one of those people that needs any more external stimuli to keep them entertained or wondering or interested youve got that all covered, perhaps to an unhealthy degree.
8. You are your own locus of control. And perhaps this is the most positive characteristic you have: you do not assume that anybody else is responsible for your emotions, and you know this because thinking otherwise places you in a minefield of suffering for the rest of your life.
9. Youre very casual about your self-development. Youre one of those people who reads Deepak Chopra on the beach.
10. Youre non-confrontational to a fault. Youll do anything to avoid not having to upset anybody and that often results in you not communicating how you really feel, when doing so would eliminate the problem altogether.
11. You often wonder if it is your resistance to action that creates your anxiety-thoughts. That maybe feeling jealous or anxious or upset is just an internal call to do better, one thats being avoided.
12. Youre fascinated by personality types and the ways humans function. Youre probably into astrology or psychology or Myers Briggs personalities, and your classifications of people within these systems infiltrates your daily conversation about them. Ultimately, it helps you understand yourself better.
13. You keep a tight social circle. You feel like you can only really have fun when youre in the presence of people youre truly comfortable with. Otherwise, youre trying to mentally place yourself enough to be comfortable.
14. Youre particular about what you want, yet super chill about what you have. You probably need to keep a gratitude journal if you dont have one already, one, because thats something youd be into, and two, because you have a hard time being completely in the moment.
15. Youre all but convinced that the smartest people on Earth have somehow transcended their neurological hardwiring, and know how to just enjoy life. You know that ignorance is bliss may be a misquote and a generally terrible way to approach life, and yet you often fantasize about how lovely it would be to just not worry at all. Side note: you also probably love dogs.
16. Youll argue that over-thinking and your apprehension to immediately trust someone is, in fact, what preserves your peace of mind. While not always the healthiest frame of experience, you can also acknowledge that its people who are too trusting and too shallow in their assumptions that end up getting hurt and manipulated and so on.
18. Your entire life struggle can be summed up as not having the wisdom to know the difference. Youre very good at letting go. Youre even better at trying harder. But knowing when each is appropriate is completely lost on you. Alas: the #struggle.
