Parents of special needs children have more on their plate than the average bear. So, how do we know when to add more? Should we add more? Especially when we're struggling?
I'm facing this dilemma right now, although the "more" on my plate has been thrust upon me through no fault of anyone's. It involves helping a friend on a daily basis (for over a week now and with no end in sight.) Offering hospitality every day, which is pretty much right up my alley, most of the time. I like feeding people and helping when I can. And my friend is in great need. Don't get me wrong, I don't resent doing it. However, I woke up this morning feeling rough.
First, I'm sad today. So very sad. No reason. That's just the way of it sometimes. It's a little distressing because I've been feeling pretty darn good the last week or so. What the heck? I hate it. Every little thing Anna is doing is driving me completely nuts. I feel resentful and tired and sick of myself and everything. And yet, I still need to get up and get the day going.
I'm grumbling and muttering and saying things I shouldn't. I really hate myself this way. And through it all, Anna is smiling and pleasant and wanting hugs and kisses.
Second, I hurt all over like I have the flu. That's something new. It makes me feel for friends who suffer with fibromyalgia. I'll be praying for them today. And taking Tylenol.
Third, I'm really, really tired and my brain is foggy. And I've been sleeping good. Anna's been sleeping good. I think I have to look at my diet. It hasn't been that great lately.
Okay, that's my whining for the day. Who else wants to jump in? The water's fine!
I think those days when you feel sad/depressed/angry for what we think is no apparent reason - those days I dislike the most. I can't put a finger on what is bothering me. But, like you said, the full plate is enough to send anyone back to bed for days and days.
We're serving the Lord, Jenny. I keep repeating it. Whatever you do for the least of these ... my help comes from the Lord. Thanks for prayers, though. That's what gets me through!
Ugh...I can relate! Every day I'm hanging on to the Lord and His word. Many days I feel like ""I can do this!"" then the next, I'm sad and fearful and wanting someone else to have my life. I honestly pray that someone would come and HELP You with this work! Seems like you are so alone in this. Sad..
Hi Pam, Here's a link to another mom of special needs children. You might like this article. http://tamiclayton.com/2013/05/04/six-secrets-parents-of-special-needs-children-have-but-dont-tell-you/#comment-5579 I linked your article to her comment page, too.
You get a free pass today! We all need them at times & should definitely use them. As a mother, wife, friend, neigbor, we are never ""off"" because that's how we are ~ loving, giving, sharing. So celebrate yourself today by doing just enough to not beat yourself up over.

Barack Obama is reported to have handpicked Ashton Carter co-director of Harvard's "Preventative Defense Project" as the next Secretary of Defense, replacing former Senator Chuck Hagel.
Carter can be described as a "nerd's nerd" holding a doctorate in Theoretical Physics from Oxford along with is undergraduate degree from Yale in Medieval History.
The new SecDef pick is also a money-maker having advised investment funds for Global Technology Partners and consulted for Goldman Sachs.
While Ashton Carter may seem like a logical pick for the Secretary of State, a department with the responsibility of fostering international relations and peace, his placement as head of the Department of Defense may set a tone that undermines warfare capabilities.
The Department of Defense was originally established in 1789 as the United States Department of War.
The cornerstone at the Pentagon still displays the original name of the department. Pentagon visitors can find the inscription at the Mall Entrance of the building.
At the time of establishment and for decades after, the Secretary of War was a civilian position with limited oversight over military affairs. Instead, the original SecDefs were penny pinchers responsible for finance.
Today, the Secretary of Defense serves as the President's primary advisor on military affairs, typically while holding no military command or even field experience.
The outgoing Defense Secretary, Chuck Hagel, served as a Sergeant in the Army during Vietnam. Hagel volunteered for the draft and was awarded several medals of commendation including two Purple Hearts.
Ashton Carter is expected to be unanimously confirmed for the position by Congress.

It has been a long while since I've run 10 miles. In fact, just to be honest, I haven't run over 7 or 8 miles but twice in the past year. Once was two weeks before my half marathon and once was my half marathon (RnR Nashville).
Well running up and down my mountain got me to about 8 miles and I considered that to be worth about 13. That may not be true, but it really was much more then an 8 mile workout. Then summer hit and I entered survival mode. I decided I would set a goal of 4 miles a day and try not to miss more then 2 days a week. That got me about 20 miles a week, just enough to keep me going.
Sunday it was cold here. I know that it is cold it is up North, but for us, waking up to 36 degrees was a bit of a shock. So I just stayed in bed. In fact I stayed in bed later then I have in years. I finally got up and decided I needed to get my run in anyway and man up under the cold. By the time I got to our state park, it was a cool 50 degrees and almost perfect for running. I will say it was too warm for a jacket during a run and too cold to go without. In the end, I ran 2 miles with a jacket and then did the rest without.
I knew I could do the 10 miler, but also knew the temptation to tell myself that I could quit early, so after I ran the 2 miles and put up my jacket, I ran 4 miles in one direction and 4 back. To be honest, it was hard. My body isn't used that long mileage anymore and the road back was mostly uphill.
The run was very rewarding. I needed to get back to longer runs and figured 10 miles was a good start. I am much stronger then I was during my marathon, which is good news. All the hill runs paid off. Also I mostly had negative splits, even with the last several miles being uphill most of the way.
So that run is in the bag. I hope to keep the 10+ mile runs going each weekend for the long term. I have the hill runs down, and adding the long runs will add to my strength. I hope to run a half marathon at the end of December (Jacksonville) then another half in February (Birmingham) and finish with a marathon in Va. Beach in March. Time will tell how this will go. I got hurt a lot going into my last marathon, but I know now that I didn't have the leg strength to do it. I don't know how I completed it, let alone ran it in 4:15.

Congrats on the big run. Doesn't it feel great when you get one in after awhile? Mentally and physically. 30 something degrees is chilly. Another blogger I follow did the same thing in Texas when he woke up to the cold. Went back to bed. Nothing like sleeping in on cold weekends!
It does feel great. A big confidence booster! Thanks for the coodos. I love the cooler weather!
Thank you! The negative splits were an added bonus!


Diabetes is a condition where the body, or to be precise the pancreas, loses its ability to create insulin, the chemical necessary to regulate blood sugar levels. As we take in food, a substance called glucose enters through the bloodstream, and it is insulin's role to make sure that that glucose is carried to different parts of the body, in turn fuels us with the energy we need. Diabetes is often considered as a silent disease, much like cancer and nearly five out of ten people are unaware that they have diabetes.
So how did we get such a disease? A known fact about diabetes is that it can be hereditary, especially if a family member has a history of diabetes. Obesity is also one of the most common factors, leading to the lack of exercise and high blood pressure levels. US studies have shown that diabetes can also develop when a mother gives birth to a child who weighs more than 9 pounds.
There are two types of diabetes: The Type 1 diabetes inflicts mostly children when the pancreas completely loses its ability to secrete insulin. Common diabetic symptoms include excessive thirst, frequent urination and continued weight loss despite of excessive hunger. They begin to be insulin dependent and its dire results may also include blindness and amputation of certain limbs in the body.
Type Two diabetes is far more common than Type One. Its symptoms may include those of Type One, but its leading concern is that nearly half of diabetics may not be able to have such symptoms and the cause of hereditary diabetes to children. They are often considered as non-insulin dependents, in which an excessive secretion of insulin passes through the bloodstream, causing the body to develop a high resistance to the chemical. The end result would be the high blood glucose content, which can be treated with regular exercise and a high protein diet of starch and carbohydrates.
Sadly, there is no absolute cure for diabetes of any type. The only recommendation from doctors is to prolong life, making sure that they would still continue to live normally. In the US alone, nearly 200,000 deaths per year has been reported due to diabetes.
In order to cope with diabetes, it is important to maintain their weight and exercise regularly. Alcohol consumption can be regulated to its utmost maximum, better if cut out completely and smoking is an absolute health risk to both the lungs and diabetics. Regular visits to the doctor are an absolute must in order to check and make sure that their blood glucose levels are on tract. Family encouragement can also do wonders for those suffering from diabetes, helping them that there is always a way to surpass diabetes without the fear of death. It helps increase the quality of life among family members with diabetes.

Csányi Csányi Bernát (fl. 1633 – †Szentgotthárd, 1664. augusztus 1.), tótfalui várkapitány, magyar köznemes és vitéz katona, aki a törökök ellen harcolt, s kapitányi rangban állt.

Élete
Az ősrégi Hahót nemzetségbeli családja Zala vármegyéből eredt és a 15. században szereztek Vasban birtokot, ehhez tartozott egy kastély, amely a Felsőmarác mellett található Tótfaluban volt. Apja Csány György, akinek az első neje Sylveszter Katalin, és a második pedig osztopáni Perneszy Borbála volt. Az apai nagyszülei Csány Bernát, aki zalai alispán 1580 és 1681 között, majd Zala országgyűlési követe, és bagonyai Kövér Magdolna úrnő voltak. Apai nagybátyja Csány Imre (fl. 1592–1652), földbirtokos, akinek a hitvese pölöskefői Eördögh Katalin volt.

A Tótfaluban levő kastélyt később végvárrá alakították át, ez volt a végvárrendszer legtávolabbi és legkisebb vára. Vagy 10 hajdú szolgált benne Csányi parancsnoksága alatt, aki egyben a csákányi (ma Csákánydoroszló) lovasok kapitánya is volt. 1664-ben a törökök több mint százezer fős sereggel törtek Vas vármegyébe. Csányi és a másik kapitány Csanádi Ferenc egy nyolcszáz fős csapattal (200 horvát és 600 magyar) csapdát állított egy török portyázó hadnak Őriszentpéternél, de tulajdonképpen a nagyvezír hadának tovább haladását akarták késleltetni. A harcban a katonák kétharmada elesett, köztük Csanádi is. Ezután Csányi csatlakozott Montecuccoli generális seregéhez, a közeli Csákányból összeszedett lovasokkal, és részt vett a szentgotthárdi csatában, ahol janicsár golyótól esett el.

Felesége Keczor Anna (fl. 1657–1675) asszony, akitől született a fia Csány Ferenc.

Zambia's Mopani Copper Mines set to double output in the next half-decade
Mopani Copper Mines to double product in the next five years [Image: courtesy]
Zambia—One of the key copper processing companies in Zambia, Mopani Copper Mines PLC, is on the move to grow its production from the current 100,000 tons of copper annually to its full capacity of 225,000 tons of copper per year within the next half a decade.
According to Charles Sakanya, the organization's CEO the mine also plans to look at the viability of some dumps within its properties to extract an extra 50,000 tons of copper in an effort to maximize production towards the government's target of 3 million tons annually in the next decade.
He noted that with the $111 million new synclinoria replacing the 1932 concentrator, the mine has the capacity to reach its full production in 3 to 5 years but will need another concentrator to double its production.
Sakanya said that the mine is currently on a path to borrow $300 million from a financier, $14 million of which is already sourced in 2021.
He further noted that the mine still has 129 million tones in reserves, of which 106 million is at Nkana and 23 million at Mufulira.

This issue of the Record marks the fourth and final in our Year of Leadership—the third of five themes leading up to our bicentennial in 2019. And what a year it has been! We christened our Distinguished Leader in Residence Program, hosted global CEO Marilyn Tam, established the Center for Global Resiliency and Security, and added several new degree-completion and certificate programs to our slate of online offerings in the College of Graduate and Continuing Studies.
Yet perhaps the most impactful leadership event of the year happened on March 21, when we brought ten high-ranking military leaders to campus for our first Leadership and Service Summit. Nine of these men have achieved the rank of general or flag officer (GOFO) in the Armed Forces of the United States, and one is a Senior Executive Service leader within the Air Force. From all branches of service, they are serving our country in multiple and diverse ways. Many are active duty, while some are Guardsmen, Reservists, or retired. All are consummate professionals who have made a career of service to nation, and all are Norwich alumni who returned to the Hill to "pay it forward" in gratitude to the institution that set them on their paths to success.
As with last year's centennial celebration of the birth of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps, these outstanding leaders convened on our campus for the express purpose of interacting with Norwich students. Daytime activities included classroom presentations, networking opportunities, a panel discussion moderated by our own General Gordon R. Sullivan '59, and mil lab breakout sessions, culminating in an evening Todd Lecture Series event featuring Admiral Philip S. Davidson, U.S. Fleet Forces Command/Naval Forces U.S. Northern Command.
By all accounts the day was a fabulous success. I heard glowing remarks from participants on all sides and throughout the ranks, ranging from "exceptional event" to "wonderful experience" to a resounding "hooah!" The GOFOs said they came away "energized by their conversations with the students" and with a renewed spirit of leadership.
I am deeply indebted to our alumni who so generously give of their time, stepping up to the plate to inspire our students, help launch their careers by offering them jobs, internships and networking opportunities, host them at their homes for student Sendoffs or during Spring Break, help make their educations affordable through scholarships, or serve as caring mentors. When it comes to our students' intangible assets, you are second only to their Norwich education—both while they are here and long after they graduate. On behalf of our students, thank you for all you have done, and for all you will do, to support them and help them succeed.

New economic modalities
🔥 Two interesting articulations for the new socioeconomic order caught my eye this week. Writing in Wired, the technologist and novelist JM Legard proposes an interspecies currency (no, he is not talking about Dogecoin). The premise is simple: a digital currency "that could allow several hundred billion dollars to be held by other beings simply on account of being themselves and no other and being alive in the world." The technology to create this currency exists but the legwork needed for a system to actually function is extensive. For example, a digital identity would need to be provided to individuals (or herds). Legard writes that "refusing nonhuman life the right to hold money is to deny what is possible in the regeneration of nature." Will an interspecies currency solve that problem? (This is, of course, closely related to the idea of valuing ecosystem services, a topic I discuss on the podcast on Wednesday. For the historically-minded, you can did into this with Robert Contanza's 2017 review of two decades of thinking about ecosystem services. Constanza is the economist best associated with the idea.)
Another idea towards creating a new normal is put forward by two Berggruen scholars. Nils Gilman and Yakov Feygin write persuasively that a new social contract based on a mutualist model of political economy can address systemic inequality in the United States. Such a model would focus on a "more radical notion of shared ownership of returns on capital via universal individual capital endowments and new public investment channels that control shares in firms and intellectual property." It's a good approach and it sounds similar to some of the Scandinavian models already in existence (especially with regards to Norway and how it uses its oil wealth). This is a super interesting idea, similar to a couple I explore in my forthcoming book.
Shortages are the new normal
📊 Growth and recovery aren't going to amount to much if the global economy is struggling with shortages. It's a remarkable situation: As wealthier countries have emerged from the pandemic, there aren't enough goods to buy. The Economist notes that many advanced economies have been structured to focus on inadequate demand (in the wake of the global financial crisis) and now they are faced with shortages of everything from timber to cars and semiconductors.
Stacy Higginbotham thinks this might not be entirely a bad thing in terms of chip shortages. We might be on the verge of a major hardware innovation that solves the shortage issue.
There is even a shortage of freight capacity from China to the West (even before the Ever Given incident) resulting in huge price appreciation in a container. Global freight prices are up 45% since we last spoke about their rise in Charts of the Week #8)
But the larger issue doesn't stop with goods, there are shortages of labour and people too. US companies like McDonald's and Amazon are boosting pay to attract workers in an extremely tight labour market (that can't seem to add jobs).
On top of everything, there are declining birth rates from China to the US (which we covered in COTW #15). How will shortages define our exit from the pandemic?
Chips and AI
🤖 The biggest story in the world of technology remains the global semiconductor shortage. I know we have been covering all aspects of the story but new developments continue to unfold and the decision made today could have a lasting impact. Taiwan's dominance in the chip business is unrivalled but it looks like South Korea is aiming to double down. The country "unveiled ambitious plans to spend roughly $450 billion to build the world's biggest chipmaking base over the next decade". To put this in context, Taiwan's TSMC alone plans to invest $100bn in the next three years putting it on course for about $400bn -$500bn investment in the next decade.
Part of the reason chips are in such high demand is the race for AI supremacy between the US and China. We have explored the geopolitical dimensions of this new arms race in previous issues.
What if we are looking at the issue from the wrong vantage point? Carl Frey compellingly argues that having a large amount of data, like China does when it comes to surveillance data, doesn't make you a leader in AI. What's needed for AI to become a transformative technology, Frey argues, "is radical innovation to improve data efficiency". As a counterpoint, Thomas Davenport notes that China is winning the arms race (for the moment) because it spends more on research and development at the government level. It's worth reading the discussion in full.

☀ As we noted in the most recent Charts of the Week, the International Energy Agency (IEA) has dramatically revised its forecast for solar and wind energy. The IEA now says that solar energy will offer "the cheapest electricity in history", which will lead to a "new normal" with exceptional levels of ongoing deployment. This is great news. In a post for Carbon Brief, some researchers at University College London explain why solar and other renewables are on this path. The takeaway is that the cost of these technologies declines as a result of their use. The power is in our hands to transform the energy industry.
For deeper reading on this, I recommend Gregory Nemet's How Solar Got Cheap and this is also a topic I dive into in Exponential.

The dilemma could be captured perfectly in two separate comments by Justice Antonin Scalia — first, that it "can't be right" that all of the myriad provisions of the law unrelated to the mandate had to fall with it, but, later, that if the Court were to strike out the mandate, "then the statute's gone." Much of the lively argument focused on just what role the Court would more properly perform in trying to sort out the consequences of nullifying the requirement that virtually every American have health insurance by the year 2014.
The Wednesday morning argument offered the Court three mutually exclusive options: strike down all of the Affordable Care Act along with the mandate (the challengers' position), strike down only two core changes in the way the health insurance system works (the government position), and strike down nothing but the mandate (the position of a Court-appointed lawyer). Not one seemed to be especially appealing to members of the Court, and each of the three lawyers who came to the lectern faced tough and often skeptical questioning, from across the bench.
In the past, the Court has not spoken clearly about what is called the doctrine of "severability" — that is, if one part of a federal law is struck down as unconstitutional, can most or all of the rest of it be "severed" from the dead part and thus salvaged. At the end of the morning argument, it was not evident that the Court will do very much clarifying in the health care case. Of course, it could leave the doctrine as it stands if it were to uphold the mandate, and it would not have to solve the struggle that it encountered over the fate of the ACA without the mandate.
The Court also could avoid settling the severability issue in this case if it were to take the government's suggestion that, for technical legal reasons, none of the challengers had any right to ask that other parts of the ACA be struck down along with the mandate. That argument, advanced by Deputy Solicitor General Edwin S. Kneedler, found no support on the bench. If the severability issue has to be faced, due to a nullification of the mandate, the Court appeared determined to try to work through it, however distasteful — or even disorienting — that task might be.
When Justice Sonia Sotomayor became the first to ask "why don't we let Congress fix it," the challengers' lawyer said that Congress would have to get involved no matter what the Court decided, but he said the Court would have to decide what task to leave to the lawmakers: "Do you want to give Congress the task of fixing the statute after something has been taken out, especially a provision at the heart, or do you want to give Congress the task of fixing health care?" It was clear that he thought the better result would be to make it so that Congress would have to start all over to fix the nation's health care system.
Justice Scalia then set out on what would become a dominant theme: the difficulty of figuring out, after the fact, what Congress would have wanted stricken from the law if it knew it could not have the mandate. If there were one small provision that had to be stricken, perhaps because Congress wrote it into the law to help win votes for the overall measure, Scalia asked, why would the entire law have to go? But that simply enabled Clement to make his basic point that, it was not some small provision that caused the constitutional problem, it was the mandate, the package of provisions related to it, and many other sections of the law that would be linked directly or indirectly to the mandate.
Clement, though, insisted that if the Court did salvage everything but the mandate and its immediately related provisions, nothing would be left but "a hollow shell." Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr., countered that it would not be a hollow shell, since many are things that Congress has put in the law to keep long-standing provisions of federal law intact, and those would have nothing to do with the mandate.
Justice Kennedy pressed Clement to spell out the kind of severability standard he wanted the Court to apply, noting that the Court did not want to be drawn into trying to make an "intrusive" inquiry into what was on Congress's mind in adopting one provision or another as part of the ACA. "What test," Kennedy asked, "do you suggest that we follow if we want to clarify our jurisprudence?" The "objective test" the lawyer suggested was that the Court determine whether the law "can operate in the manner that Congress intended" if a part (like the mandate) were stricken.
These exchanges gave Clement an opportunity to make what he called a broader point. Looking back to a 1976 campaign finance ruling, in which the Court had drawn unusual distinctions between giving and spending, striking down limits only on spending, Clement said that set off four decades of effort by Congress to try to fix what was left of the law, "largely unsuccessfully." That, he said, illustrates why the Court should give Congress a chance "to actually fix the problem" by striking down the entire law and thus set the stage for the lawmakers to start all over on health care.
The Justices, though, did not seem to be seeing in Clement's argument for sweeping it all aside an answer to the judicial dilemma. "What do your propose that we do," Justice Stephen G. Breyer asked, "other than spend a year reading all this…" Breyer seemed to be assuming that the Court would not strike down everything else, as Clement wanted, but follow a more selective path. Justice Samuel A. Alito, Jr., also pressed Clement for a "fallback position" if the Court were not to strike down the remainder of the ACA. He slightly modified his view, saying that the Court could use its own judgment, but he wound up again arguing that the best route would be to wipe the slate clean, and let Congress respond.
Deputy Solicitor General Kneedler ran into immediate difficulty as he opened his argument with the point that the Court should not even address severability. But that led the Justices into a series of questions about how anybody feeling wronged by something in the law would go about challenging it in court. Kneedler responded that, just because no one might be able to sue, there was no obligation to give them that chance. Justice Ginsburg chimed in to repeat her comment that it should not be for the courts to sort out what happened, but that should be left to Congress.
Justice Scalia also argued in favor of leaving it to Congress, but he made it clear he was talking about doing so only after the entire Act had been voided along with the mandate. Justice Kennedy seemed to agree, by arguing that the Court would be seen as exercising judicial activism, not restraint, if it allowed some part of the law to remain intact but that wholly changed what Congress had intended to happen in the health insurance industry.
When Kneedler insisted that the Court look closely at the text of the ACA and decide what to keep and what to save, several Justices rebelled, suggesting that that would be an irksome and very difficult and time-consuming process. "We are going to go through this enormous bill, item by item, and decide each one?" Justice Scalia asked incredulously. "Is this not totally unrealistic?" It would be a revolution in the Court's severability approach to have to do that, Justice Kagan added.
Justice Breyer offered an un-judicial approach, in which Kneedler and Clement would get together and work out between them what parts of the law to save and what to have cast aside.
Near the end of his argument, Kneedler moved to a broader argument, discussing some of the consequences of a decision to nullify all of the Act, including throwing millions of people who had newly obtained insurance off of the rolls. Many changes in the Medicare program for the elderly also have gone into effect, he added. But the Chief Justice interrupted to say that all of that occurred on the assumption that the mandate was constitutional, and those developments would not keep the Court from making its own decision about the mandate and the consequences of nullifying it.
The final argument on severability, by Court[-appointed Washington lawyer H. Bartow Farr III, was in favor of salvaging all of the Act if the mandate had to go, disagreeing even with Kneedler's suggestion that two provisions closely related to the mandate would have to go if it did. But that part of the argument seemed to bog down in a dispute over whether the insurance industry would be bankrupt if it lost the mandate as a generator of a huge new pool of premium payers whose money would make the required expansion of insurance coverage work.
Congress, Farr said, had adopted a half-dozen other provisions that would help offset the costs of the expanded coverage, including a system of very generous subsidies to encourage people to obtain insurance even if they were no longer required to do so by a mandate.
It did not appear that Farr had any success in trying to explain away findings by Congress that the mandate was "essential" to make the other changes in the health insurance market work as intended. The definition he offered of the word seemed too exotic for the Court.

The Kansas bankruptcy court is open for business even if the federal government shuts down. Cases may still be filed. Automatic stays still go into effect stopping collection. Help is still available. See how a government shutdown will affect bankruptcy courts.
The District of Kansas Bankruptcy Court will continue those operations that are part of the exercise of its judicial powers. Accordingly, until further notice, the Court will continue to adjudicatebankruptcy matters. For example, it will continue to accept new case filings, receive and process pdings and fees, and hear matters.
The Case Management/Electronic Case Files (CM/ECF) system will remain operational to accept electronic filing of documents with the court. Accordingly, parties and their representatives should be prepared to appear for all matters that have been and will be scheduled for hearing (unless continued or cancelled by subsequent order of the Court). In the short term, the counter and telephone lines for the Bankruptcy Court will remain open for business according to its normal schedule.

New Year's Eve's party is all wrapped up: my ears won't be needing music for at least two months, my legs can use the same rest, but not my nails! Oh, no! A New Year is like a promise – a promise for new adventures, new wonders, new jokes and new reasons to love even more than we've had before!
All pretty and poetic! How that translates in nail art stuff? Why – glitter of course! Glitter is the answer to every exciting opportunity! Glitter makes everything sparkle and shine! Make way for the first nails of 2015!
A full glitter ombre! You want to know the funniest part? Although this combo is perfect for freezing days when Jack Frost is not only snipping at your nose but also at your fingertips, the exact same combo goes amazingly well for summer! So this one is definitely a keeper and you'll be seeing it again for looong beach days.
Before I get all daydreaming about that perfect suntan and that gorgeous salty sea hair, let's get down to Glitter business! Four different glitters were used for this ombre – from dark blue to turquoise, silver to white. A creamy base and a transparent top coat. As you already know my preferences from my Nail Care Routine, I favor OPI for basics and as you've seen before, I love using loose glitter for awesome nail art results!
As you'll see for yourself, although highly sophisticated as end-result, the actual process of making glitter gradient nails is a walk in the park! Brush on, brush off, that sums it up! I started off with the dark glitter near the base of my nail and then added the lighter blue, the silver and ended up with the white holo glitter for the free tips.
Seal it all with a clear topcoat and you're ready to outshine the stars! I used free range loose glitter in shades of blue, but you can try with any color you like, creating the ombre effect by adding lighter nuances. You might've noticed in my previous gradient manicures, I tend to start with the darkest color at the base of the nail, toward the finger and go light towards the tip of the nail.
It's a personal preference but also a trick to visually enhance the length of the nail which will appear longer just because of the lightening effect towards the tip of the nail. So if you're having rather short nails, do remember this trick – it will elongate your nails! Try painting a reversed gradient next to this dark-to-light type and you'll see the difference with your own eyes!


Hi there, I'm a beginner MUA and I'm looking for some advice on where to start when choosing my rates. My focus is primarily on doing work in film. I have completed schooling and have been gaining experience mostly on short films but for little to no pay. I feel ready to start charging and am wondering if anyone could share their experience of when they started and what they charged. I'm also curious to know from MUA's freelancing in the film industry if it's more common to charge per hour or give a flat rate per day. I would assume an hourly rate would be more common as I can see where there would be issues with charging per day, but if anyone could shed light on what they have more commonly experienced that would be great. Thanks Char.
So I have no idea if this is the right place, so I'm really sorry if it isn't. I've been looking to buy my wife a new bottle of perfume. She has one that she bought that she uses whenever we go out (which we don't do nearly enough anymore), but I wanted to give her another bottle of a different fragrance. I could get her another bottle of the one she currently has, but that seems like a cop out to me. What she currently has is a bottle of Dior hypnotic poison, one that I think she wears mainly for me, as I really like cinnamon. I know that she likes the smell of cinnamon too, but she likes vanilla much more, and sandalwood. I did do some looking up beforehand, and while I did find some promising ones, I really would prefer to hear a real person's advice instead of reviews that might be faked. I can't ask any of my friends either, as they might tell her what I'm planning. I'm really cornered here. Any help?
What would my face shape be?
Hello everyone, I am not sure if this is the correct thread to share my story. I am 24 years old and going to get a chin implant. I have always hated my school and had been saving for this surgery for a couple of years now. I have decided on my surgeon and the surgery will probably be on November, the doctor hasn't finalized the date yet. So right now I am preparing for the surgery, by speaking to people who had this surgery and browsing the web to get more details about it. And to be truthful I am really nervous and at the same time excited about the surgery. Is there anyone here who has had chin implants, can you share your experience?
Hello lovelies! I've recently just grown my hair out to a decent length (at least on one side) after years of pixie cuts and would really appreciate some advice on how to get my hair to hold big, fluffy, dramatic curls. Let me start this off by saying that my hair care is completely natural. I use Dr. Bonner's as shampoo, apple cider vinegar as a "conditioner" rinse, and occasionally use coconut oil as a deep conditioner. Here, have a photo! So as you can see, my hair texture is wavy, leaning toward curly. I've been using Conair Hot Rollers and I really like them, but even if I SATURATE my head in hairspray the big, springy curls just kind of fall into waves within 30-45 minutes. The waves are pretty, but I really like the defined curls. What product/technique recommendations would you beauties have for getting my hair to hold a curl without being gross and crunchy?


My dear Mother,—I am very glad to find that my description of Frederica Vernon has interested you, for I do believe her truly deserving of your regard; and when I have communicated a notion which has recently struck me, your kind impressions in her favour will, I am sure, be heightened. I cannot help fancying that she is growing partial to my brother. I so very often see her eyes fixed on his face with a remarkable expression of pensive admiration. He is certainly very handsome; and yet more, there is an openness in his manner that must be highly prepossessing, and I am sure she feels it so. Thoughtful and pensive in general, her countenance always brightens into a smile when Reginald says anything amusing; and, let the subject be ever so serious that he may be conversing on, I am much mistaken if a syllable of his uttering escapes her. I want to make him sensible of all this, for we know the power of gratitude on such a heart as his; and could Frederica's artless affection detach him from her mother, we might bless the day which brought her to Churchhill. I think, my dear mother, you would not disapprove of her as a daughter. She is extremely young, to be sure, has had a wretched education, and a dreadful example of levity in her mother; but yet I can pronounce her disposition to be excellent, and her natural abilities very good. Though totally without accomplishments, she is by no means so ignorant as one might expect to find her, being fond of books and spending the chief of her time in reading. Her mother leaves her more to herself than she did, and I have her with me as much as possible, and have taken great pains to overcome her timidity. We are very good friends, and though she never opens her lips before her mother, she talks enough when alone with me to make it clear that, if properly treated by Lady Susan, she would always appear to much greater advantage. There cannot be a more gentle, affectionate heart; or more obliging manners, when acting without restraint; and her little cousins are all very fond of her.

    }

A: En Javascript cuando pasas variables a una función estas variables se pasan como  punteros de memoria (by reference) en vez de ser copias del valor (by value).
Lo cual significa que tu función interna está referenciando a la misma posición de memoria que tu for. Por lo cual en cuanto el for cambia el valor este también cambia para tu callback.
Lo cual produce el efecto que estás viendo.
Un ejemplo simple para que sea mas visual:

function firstCall(howMany = 10) {
    return new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
        function done() {
            resolve(Array.from(Array(howMany).keys()))
        }

        setTimeout(done, 1000)
    })
}

function secondCall(cb) {
    return new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
        function done() {
            cb()
            resolve("Done")
        }

        setTimeout(done, 1000)
    })
}

firstCall().then(function(activities) {
    for (var i=0; i<activities.length; i++) {
        console.log("Iteration:" + i)

        secondCall(function() {
            console.log("Inside iteration: " + i)
        })
    }
})

Una forma de afrontar el problema es usar bind lo cual creará una copia de la función con ese parámetro añadido.

function firstCall(howMany = 10) {
    return new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
        function done() {
            resolve(Array.from(Array(howMany).keys()))
        }

        setTimeout(done, 1000)
    })
}

function secondCall(cb) {
    return new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
        function done() {
            cb()
            resolve("Done")
        }

        setTimeout(done, 1000)
    })
}

function extractedMethod() {
    console.log("Inside iteration: " + this)
}

firstCall().then(function(activities) {
    for (var i=0; i<activities.length; i++) {
        console.log("Iteration:" + i)

        secondCall(extractedMethod.bind(i))
    }
})

Nótese que en extractedMethod estamos llamando a this no a i eso es porque bind cambia quien es el this para esa función.
También podrías usar call o apply para hacer algo similar.
De todas formas JS se está moviendo para evitar el llamado "callback hell" y también dejar de pensar tanto en que valor tiene this en este contexto, ya que es motivo de muchos bugs y errores.
Así que solo me queda añadir que, si tienes la posibilidad, es mucho mas simple utilizar Promises directamente en vez de pasar callbacks.
Si puedes hacer eso no tienes que pensar en hacer un binding o que valore tendrá this en esa llamada etc.. y la forma de ejecutar comportamientos es encadenar callbacks.
Ejemplo

function firstCall(howMany = 10) {
    return new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
        function done() {
            resolve(Array.from(Array(howMany).keys()))
        }

        setTimeout(done, 1000)
    })
}

function secondCall(number) {
    return new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
        function done() {
            resolve("Your iteration was: " + number)
        }

        setTimeout(done, 1000)
    })
}

firstCall().then(function(activities) {
    for (var i=0; i<activities.length; i++) {
        console.log("Iteration:" + i)

        secondCall(i).then(function(message) {
            console.log(message)
        })
    }
})

There's dropping time, and then there's the Michaella Glenister way of dropping time. The 17-year-old British rising star raced her way to bronze in the women's 400m IM tonight in Budapest at the FINA World Junior Swimming Championships, and the Leicester Shark did it in style with a huge new personal best of 4:39.35.
Glenister's performance is notably impressive considering her lifetime quickest entering this meet rested at the 4:47.69 she produced at the British Summer Championships just late last month. That outing rendered her as the gold medalist for 17-year-olds and helped the swimmer rebound from her non-advancing swim at the European Junior Championships. There in Kazan, Glenister clocked a morning outing of 4:51.04 to find herself 9th, behind her 2 British teammates and out of the final.
Prior to the aforementioned domestic meet, Glenister's only other sub-4:50 performance came at the British Championships (World Trials) in April, where she took 7th in the senior women's 400m IM final in a then-personal best of 4:49.13.
Flash forward today in Budapest, however, and Glenister re-wrote the book on how to make the most of an elite international appearance. She wasted no time making her medal-seeking intentions known, throwing down a monster morning effort of 4:43.27, slashing over 4 seconds off of that 4:47.69. That gave her the 2nd seed, just a tenth behind Spain's Alba Vazquez.
Swimming fearlessly from the get-to in tonight's final, Glenister busted out another remarkable swim, clocking a mark of 4:39.35 to take the bronze and dip under 4:40 for the very first time. All told, the Leicester Shark dropped over 8 seconds from her previous PB entering this meet.
At just 17 years of age, Glenister now ranks as the 6th fastest British swimmer, all ages, of all time.

I don't want to get too optimistic but I think we may see her at the olympics next year. I wouldn't put it past her to improve enough to take a spot in the 400 IM and considering GB's poor depth in distance free she'll probably also qualify in the 800 and 1500 free.

She'd need to drop an absolutely tonne to even be considered in the 800/1500. Not sure I see that happening. 400IM looks set to be a real scrap at trials with Willmott, Miley, Wood, Glenister, Shanahan and Colbert. A real event to watch in the coming years.

She has, per Funkita: https://www.funkita.com/blog/athletes/366-hanging-up-their-funkitas-.html

Szabó-Feltóthy dropped even more, more than 10 seconds.

Considering she's not in any kind of performance programme and just at a club think the girls just done amazing.

Where's the support from UK.
Exactly no performance programme no funding no long course training at Loughborough like other clubs invited to and all this can be seen when you see what clubs are invited to train there with swim England talent programme.

Any gun enthusiasts here. Specifically hand gun. I have a question for you. I've taught a lot of classes for different weapons over the years and I'm curious about a myth I just ran into. When firing a hollow point round when does it expand? Throw out what you have been taught or learned in the past.
TucsonSteve and B-Man like this.
Initial expansion is when the bullet leaves the case thru the barrel to make a good seal against the lands/grooves of the barrel......secondary expansion is when the projectile hits the target.

During a conversation yesterday I argued that it opens on target. The myth they were taught was it opened in the air. I am curious how many gun guys think that.
The air has no resistance to open it. If that was the case the entrance hole should be big.
That's what I told them. In the air the hole forms a circle of air that actually reduces the force on the front of the round. Cops should know enough about ballistics to at least know that it doesn't open in air.
To go even further, hollow point bullets on impact with clothing.....denim, flannel etc.....the fabric will clog the hollow point and the bullet won't expand to its full potential. I'm not an employee of Hornady nor do I advertise for Hornady but I sure like their Critical Defense rounds.....I have their Critical Defense rounds in my Glock 9mm and 45s.....they have a polymer tip in their bullets that when the bullets contact that fabric the hollow point will expand as designed.
Again.....I don't work for Hornady nor am I advertising for Hornady.......I just like their Critical Defense ammo line-up.
B-Man and Lil G like this.
That's what I have in my truck gun and my home gun. Hornady in my deer rifle so if the robber runs he can die tired.
Good stuff! Amazing after the ballistic gel test how much the bullet weight was retained.
That's what a 12ga is for.
12 gauge are great from 0 to 40 yards.

Staff at Wolf Park have long known that dogs (and their cousins, wolves, foxes, and coyotes) have a rich inner life and a lot to "say". Do you know what your dog might be trying to tell you? Alexandra Horowitz's studies of canine cognition give remarkable insight into the minds of our furry friends.
When a dog looks sad when scolded, is it really feeling guilty? Do dogs have a natural drive to rescue people in trouble?
