Judges 3:1-7 | Now these are the nations which the Lord left, to prove Israel by them, even as many of Israel as had not known all the wars of Canaan; Only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as before knew nothing thereof; Namely, five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt in mount Lebanon, from mount Baalhermon unto the entering in of Hamath. And they were to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would hearken unto the commandments of the Lord, which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses. And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, Hittites, and Amorites, and Perizzites, and Hivites, and Jebusites: And they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods. And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and forgat the Lordtheir God, and served Baalim and the groves.


After an unsuccessful morning of birdwatching this April, John Vanderpoel retired to his room at the Travelodge and told himself that he was done for the day, his last in Florida. To hold himself to this resolution, he threw all of his clothes into the laundry, save a pair of red gym shorts not fit for wearing in public. Vanderpoel wanted to take a nap. But first -- he couldn't help himself -- he checked an online "Bird Board" that reports rare sightings in Florida. Immediately, a glimmer of hope: a Fork-tailed Flycatcher -- a bird he had never seen before in his life -- had been spotted in Fort Lauderdale only an hour and a half before.
The flycatcher represented an opportunity. Normally found year-round between Mexico and Argentina, it is known to wander into the American Eastern Seaboard; on Vanderpoel's self-created scale of sighting probability, the flycatcher scores a 4 out of 6: "possible but unlikely." Vanderpoel threw on a green birding shirt that, luckily, had not made it into the washing machine, and sped to the scene in a car. But he arrived too late, finding only a crowd of dismayed birders. He decided to linger in Fort Lauderdale -- and sure enough, he was rewarded for his patience two hours later. He spotted the bird, its dainty body dramatically offset by a sharply bifurcated tail, perched on a wire above a cemetery.
The Fork-tailed Flycatcher was only Bird No. 474 of the year. But Vanderpoel had more than eight months left in the calendar year to increase this figure. A lifelong birder and the founder of a video production company (which created The Advanced Birding Video Series), Vanderpoel, 62, has committed 2011 to the completion of a "Big Year," an informal competition in which birdwatchers attempt to see or hear as many species as possible between January 1 and December 31. Vanderpoel, who had dreamt of doing a Big Year since the mid-1990s, has been named as a potential candidate to break the current North American record, and he has already climbed to third place. His quest has stirred excited discussion within the competitive birding community, and his personal blog -- which documents the sleepless nights, the primal thrill of discovery, the frantic chases (and, in the comments section, his wife's feelings about being a "bird widow") -- gets about 1,000 hits a day.
The Big Year competition is informal in the sense that there is no trophy, no grand celebration for the winner. It is simply a natural extension of the listing impulse so deeply ingrained in the birding community. Jeffrey Gordon, president of the American Birding Association, demurs at the word "administer" as a description of the ABA's role in the Big Year: at most, the organization has provided a framework for making such competitions possible. As the first issue of Birding, the ABA magazine, declared in 1969, "Life listing and annual listing, to say nothing of Christmas bird counts, big days, and the like, have become a matter of national competition and herein lies another important area for Birding to fulfill a leading role." Every year, the ABA publishes a special report showcasing members' list totals in different categories, including year lists. The organization crafted its own "recording rules" to define a legitimate sighting: for example, the bird must be "alive, wild, and unrestrained" at the moment of encounter, and the sighting must take place within the prescribed ABA area (including the 49 continental American states, Canada, and the French islands of St.-Pierre and Miquelon). Aside from this, what is most striking about competitive birding is its distinctly unregulated nature: Given the assurance of an honor code, nobody verifies lists.
Every year, the ABA receives around 50 entries in the year-list category, though the threshold of 700 sightings is rarely broken, according to publications director Bryan Patrick. The current North American record is held by Sandy Komito, a "legendary human bird-dog" as one newspaper called him, who traveled 270,000 miles and spent about $10,000 a month in 1998 to attain his 745 species. As of October 23, Vanderpoel has 728 species under his belt -- putting him only 18 species away from toppling Komito from his throne. To put things in better perspective, Virginia birder Bob Ake, who is second to Komito on the all-time year-list, reached the 728-mark in early December of his 2010 Big Year, which means that Vanderpoel is about seven weeks ahead of Ake's pace. While it seems likely that Vanderpoel will beat Ake's 731, he believes he has a "very, very slim" chance at surpassing Komito to grab the gold. "I'm thinking it would be very difficult," Vanderpoel says, "but not impossible."
Eighteen species may seem like a small margin, but things get harder as the species pile up over the months. Vanderpoel checked off 57 species on January 1 alone, and yet, it has taken him the last two months and more to cover the same number. To frame it somewhat differently, every bird in that first day's haul -- except two -- were of "certain" probability; species like the House Sparrow and Blue Jay are American regulars that most people, even non-birders, can see in their backyards without much effort. To have even the slightest chance of beating Komito, Vanderpoel cannot miss these sure bets; there are approximately 650 species that regularly breed in the United States, and he has only two left to find. The following tiers of species -- each more difficult to find than the previous -- are those that regularly occur but do not breed in the region (around 670), and vagrants that appear in specific locations at specific times of the year, some of which have only been seen once and perhaps will never be seen again (around 290). For those who take their Big Years seriously, these are the birds around which they shape their traveling schedules. Because the difficulty curve starts to incline sharply after a certain threshold, unique sightings become increasingly pivotal as the year progresses.
Getting these take dedication. Vanderpoel birds almost every day, many times from dawn to dusk. Unsurprisingly, he hasn't had as much time this year to devote to his company, Peregrine Video Productions. Mostly, he has been traveling across the country: he seeks out birds that inhabit specific habitats or regions, he strategically traces migration patterns, and he must do all of this while taking note of the changing seasons and the decreasing amount of daylight. "He's a meticulous planner, and he's been a full-time travel agent for this year," says Bill Kaempfer, the vice president of the Colorado Field Ornithologists and Vanderpoel's good birding friend. "He really attends to all of those details, plans things out, knows where he's going and what he's likely to see there, and gets the job done." As seen in the flycatcher episode, Vanderpoel uses the community of birders, including readers of his blog, as a source of instant reports of rarities ("Please call me if there's a mega rarity near you!" he urges on his site). Quick travel is a must. One major windfall: Vanderpoel enjoyed about a dozen free flights during the summer as a result of his son's internship with United Airlines. "I was just moving fast and furious," he says. "That was a huge advantage. From that point on, if there was a rarity, I'm going to chase it and I'm not going to worry about the cost."
The concept of a Big Year is staggering on many levels. There's the sheer magnitude, the needle-in-a-haystack notion of seeing and identifying hundreds of birds -- many of which can be no bigger than the palm of your hand -- within a continental landscape. Next, the year-long commitment raises practical questions of physical and emotional stamina, not to mention financial solvency. The serious ones must become transients with no real destination but a number. Onlookers respond differently: some are awestruck, some are plain derisive. The feel-good fictional film The Big Year that came out this past month, starring Jack Black, Steve Martin, and Owen Wilson, attempts to capture these different strains of interpretation: the repeated quote "Those damn birds!" reflects a sentiment shared by the stoic father, the exasperated wife, and the suited colleagues who cannot fathom why the main characters choose to devote so much of their energy to such a quixotic quest. Even Kenn Kaufman, whose memoir Kingbird Highway recounts his 1973 Big Year, admits: "It can be a real pain in the neck at times, and you think, 'Why am I doing this?!' For the people who are actually going all the way through, they tend to be pretty focused, energetic, driven, and not quite normal. But in a good way -- I think normalcy is highly overrated."
The Big Year landscape has changed considerably since Kaufman, a renowned writer and editor of field guides, embarked on his trip at the age of 18. He says he was inspired by a footnote in Wild America, a book by naturalists Roger Tory Peterson and James Fisher documenting their 30,000-mile road trip: "My year's list at the end of 1953 was 572 species," Peterson wrote. After dropping out of high school, Kaufman hitchhiked his way across the country, lived on less than a dollar a day, ate dried cat food -- and set a Big Year record of 671. Kaufman says that he was able to "run with the big dogs" as a teenager and viably compete for the record because the information flow in those days did not necessarily benefit some more than others. While rare species make and break today's records, they were simply too difficult to find 30 years ago; even if one heard of a sighting, the information probably came too late for any productive response. It was simply the bread-and-butter, and a lot of luck. "We just didn't get news of anything," Kaufman recalls. "Now, there's instant communication. If somebody finds rare birds in California, I'll know about it five minutes later." Today's competitive Big Year participants, he says, need the resources -- travel, time, money -- to chase rare targets.
The Big Year and the broader listing culture certainly serve as useful educational frameworks for those interested in birds, Kaufman says. But he hopes that increased publicity of the Big Year -- especially in light of a major motion picture featuring it -- does not disadvantage other equally valuable ways of engaging with the natural world. As Gordon, the ABA president, says: "People have all different approaches to birding, and it's not like doing really well at Big Year automatically would give you the same kind of notoriety that writing a well-received field guide would, or starting a really effective conservation program, or introducing kids to birding. All of these different things would be legitimate ways of having a standing within the community." The makers of The Big Year, wanting to portray the competition as a determinant of the "best birder in the world," approached the ABA for templates of Birding magazine for a scene in which Owen Wilson appears on a cover in recognition of his Big Year victory. "That's not how it is," Gordon says.
For his part, Vanderpoel is in it more for the chase than for the glory of victory. His Big Year has not been solely about the record: he teamed up with Citizens for Conservation, which is involved in restoration projects, to raise pledges for each species he spots, and he has used the year to expand his sightings of mammals, reptiles, and amphibians (all of which are meticulously documented in Excel spreadsheets). "How am I going to feel if I don't break the record? I'm still gonna feel real good," he says. "I've met so many nice people, I've seen so many great birds, and I've had so many exotic adventures. This has been one of the most exciting things I've done in my life." But neither is Vanderpoel content to ease off in the competition's final stages: "I'm gonna go pedal-to-the-metal," he says, before preparing to ship off to Gambell, Alaska -- for the third time this year -- in pursuit of what he loves: those damn birds.

A Feast in Time of Plague
Adaptations Little Tragedies (1979)
Playwright Alexander Pushkin
Similar Alexander Pushkin plays, Other plays
A Feast in Time of Plague (Pir vo vremya chumy Russian: Пир во время чумы ) is an 1830 play by Aleksandr Pushkin. The plot concerns a banquet in which the central figure taunts death with a toast "And so, O Plague, we hail thy reign!". The story is based on Act 1 of John Wilson's play "The City of Plague".
The play was published in 1830 as one of four Little Tragedies (Malenkie tragedii Russian: Маленькие трагедии) together with The Stone Guest (Kamenny gost Russian: Каменный гость); Mozart and Salieri (Motsart i Salyeri Russian: Моцарт и Сальери) and The Miserly Knight (Skupoy rytsar Russian: Скупой рыцарь). All four of these plays were set as one act operas by Russian composers; Dargomyzhsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, Rachmaninov, and for the Feast, Cesar Cui.

Just outside the village of Carcross, Yukon, Canada was one of the most surprising sights (and sites!) of the day.
We awoke on Day #4 of our Alaska cruise in the small, seaside port of Skagway...a mighty huge ship in a tiny little dock.
Day #3 of our Alaska cruise, we woke up in the port of the state capital, Juneau.
Our first port was in the charming village of Ketchikan, Alaska.
A very early morning flight to Vancouver via Minneapolis...these Gray grandkids were excited at the airport and ready to head to Alaska!
Since I spent pretty much all morning yesterday unpacking and doing laundry, and all yesterday afternoon at the Cancer Center, I haven't yet tackled the hundreds of photos from Alaska.
So...just in case you're wondering what a chemo appointment looks like, I'm sharing mine with you. If you aren't into this stuff, feel free to move on and hopefully tomorrow I will have some more exciting and fun photos to share.
Very, very early yesterday morning, Kim and I were nearly on top of the world.
At just a little more than 100 miles below the Arctic Circle, Kim told me we were as far north as we would probably ever go.
The Gray family celebrates holidays like no other family I know. While others consider holidays to be "free days" to relax and do extra fun things, the Gray bunch (led by work-maniac-patriarch Kim Gray) spends most holidays doing un-fun things.

Q: Does curly braces effect performance in C#? For single line if statement I have always preferred to use curly braces myself.
Like
if (condition)
{

}

This statement can be written as

or
if(condition) statement;

I have searched through SO and other forum, most of the people prefer the first option. I know there's no effect in the run time performance.
Is there any performance factor for the first approach in compile time. How .NET framework or CLR handle decision statements like if or if-elseif ? Do the next options (second and the third) have any kind of enhanced performance ? May be the difference is negligible but I want to know how compiler handle this situation.

A: It doesn't.
C# compiled into CIL (Common Intermediate Language) which is the "assembly language" for the CLR (similar to "bytecode" in the Java world).
In CIL there is no concept of "braces". If-Else code blocks are expressed in CIL using "branch" commands, which are like conditional jumps. For example, "brc" followed by name of a label will jump to the label if the latest values on the stack are equal.
So, it doesn't matter if you put braces or not - it will be expressed the same way in the generated CIL code.

A: no. after compiler finsihed his job. the code is the very same

Taking the Plunge is a cute little short animation film that shows the hijinks a person could get into when he accidentally drops an engagement ring into the ocean. Meet an adorable sidekick octopus, dodge an evil giant shark, explore the underworld of the ocean and still manage to get the girl at the end.
It's really well done. I could totally see this as a short that airs before a Pixar movie.
SPLOID SELECTS is a series where we feature the interesting short films we love. If you are a filmmaker with awesome short films you'd like to showcase, please drop me a line here.


Professional trainers and riders understand that the warm up routine they choose for each individual horse can be the deciding factor in whether they win or lose their class. Some novice riders, on the other hand, misunderstand the importance of this pre-competition step. They may not think about how they will ride their warm up until they put their foot in the stirrup. They may just wander around on a loose rein (which at least warms their horse's muscles) without checking to see if they have the horse's attention or can establish a connection with their aids. They may start drilling the horse on something he has not completely mastered in the hope he will perform the maneuver better that day. It is not uncommon to see a rider longing a nervous or high energy horse in order to tire him out. With a little planning, riders can avoid wasting this crucial prep time.
Developing and planning a warm up routine appropriate for your particular horse starts at home. We discussed the variables to consider in your at-home training and planning to maximize the value of your show warm up in the Plan Your Warm Up Before Show Day article . Now it is show time. For a typical weekend show, you need to plan several different warm up routines. I show in dressage competitions so I will use them as an example, but the planning principles apply to any discipline.
I like to arrive on the show grounds the day before my first classes. Arriving the day before gives both horse and rider time to settle in and get mentally prepared. Your horse may be stiff from the trailer ride. If it was a long haul, he will be tired, possibly a bit hungry and dehydrated. Get him settled in his stall and allow him to drink and eat while you set up the stabling area.
When he has rested, it is time for his first warm up. You want to save your horse's energy for the competition tomorrow so, in general, you will just loosen the horse up by walking around the show grounds. Visit every arena, go by the flower boxes, the judge's stands, past trash barrels and anything unusual at the show grounds that the horse does not see at home. Remember that the horse sees things differently out of each eye. Pass everything in both directions so the horse will not be surprised when competition starts tomorrow. Your goal is a relaxed horse with a relaxed back, head lowered and neck lengthened while moving from your leg into a following hand.
If you have an anxious or excitable horse who will only jig if you warm him up under saddle, plan to show him around from the ground. Know before you go which way is probably best for your horse. But whether you "heed" him in hand or ride him, keep your horse's attention on you and keep him on your aids.
Relaxing the horse; warming, loosening and suppling his muscles.
Refreshing the horse's response to the aids for movements he will do in the test.
Finishing with a few final exercises that relax and supple the horse.
If you know your horse and how long it takes him to move through these four phases, you can time your warm up so that you are finishing up just before your class is called.
In Phase One, I use basic schooling movements: leg yielding, circles, serpentines, simple up and down transitions. I want the horse to relax his back, lengthen into my hand, and accept the aids without expending a lot of energy. On a geriatric horse, I might do this phase entirely at the walk with the aim of suppling his muscles and joints without stressing them before his class. On other horses, I will walk, trot, and canter according to the horse's energy drive and stiffness.
In Phase Two, I ask the horse to move forward into my hand more while rounding his back and engaging the hind end. I use lateral work, shoulder-fore, smaller circles, and various transitions to collect and rebalance the horse as his needs that day may require. I do not school anything new with the horse. I am just refreshing the horse's muscle memory of the shape my aids are asking him to take with his body.
In Phase Three, I want to check the horse's response to my aids for movements in our test. For example, on a horse preparing for a first level dressage test, I might check his canter departs, down transitions, and make sure he moves forward from my leg. On a horse starting third level tests, I might ask him to collect and extend, ask him for a few steps at half pass, and ask for a flying change. On a horse already doing grand prix tests, I might ask for a few strides of piaffe or passage and some tempi changes to check his response to my aids on that day. If a movement is new to you as the rider, you might want to check your coordination of the aids.
This last minute check is just that--a check. This is not the time to school or drill or to ride the whole test. Save your horse's energy for the class ahead. You may do very little at all in Phase Three depending on your horse. If you are riding a schoolmaster, an older horse with physical issues, a lazy horse with low energy drive or a horse that just warms up better with collecting and extending exercises, you may not do any movements in the warm up.
Phase Four is a quiet return to moving on the aids with rhythm and relaxation while we wait for the call to enter the ring. If I have done my warm up well, my horse will be on my aids, ready to transition right back into working mode, so we can make an energetic entrance that says, "Look at us, Judge!"
In general, warm ups for subsequent classes take less time. If you are doing 2 or even 3 tests in a day, warms ups for later classes may be just enough to warm up muscles and get the horse on the aids. Altering your warm up to save the horse's energy is key to a winning strategy.
Take weather and other stressors into consideration as you ride in additional classes. It may be 60 degrees for your morning class and 90 degrees by the time you show in the afternoon. Rain may have changed the footing, making things more difficult for the horses. Tired horses are more injury prone.
By this time your horse should be well settled and need far less mental preparation than he needed the day you arrived. Previous warm ups and classes will have spent a good deal of his energy. This is definitely the day you do not want to lose your class by using up too much energy in the warm up ring. Evaluate the warm up plan you prepared before the show and make changes appropriate for your horse's needs before this final effort.
Figuring out the best warm up plan for an individual horse is an art, not a science. Until you get to know a particular horse and discover what routines work best for him, you may blow a few tests. Chalk them up to experience until you understand your horse's best program. At the end of the day, remember that showing is about having fun with your horse!
Your turn! Let us know your favorite show day warm up routine in the comments below.

From Fear-Monger To Consensus-Builder
Vatis' new organization plans to offer a national research-and-development agenda, which will be assessed yearly, to help researchers decide where to concentrate their efforts.
Fear-monger. Chicken Little. That's the kind of criticism Michael Vatis took when, as founding director of the National Infrastructure Protection Center, he warned of potential hacking attacks with the arrival of the new millennium. After 2000 dawned without a single significant millennium cyberattack, he fell under attack himself, in the media. But Vatis, now director of the Institute for Security Technology Studies at Dartmouth College, isn't complaining. Because addressing national IT infrastructure security problems is a critical mission that's become only more important since Sept. 11.
Finding ways to secure IT infrastructure is the toughest shared challenge facing private business and government. There are problems in the design and programming of software, as well as in the ways various applications interact on a network. There are issues of how to convince business and government to share sensitive, closely held security information-and to spend on security initiatives without the promise of a direct return on investment. There's also the question of how laws will be enforced in a cyberworld that knows no geographical boundaries.
Vatis graduated from Harvard Law School in 1988 and clerked for Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall and Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg
As deputy director for the Executive Office for National Security, Vatis advised the attorney general on high-tech crime, terrorism, and defense
Vatis is an avid outdoorsman and white-water rafter
Arguably, no one in the country knows those problems more intimately than Vatis. After directing the NIPC for three years, Vatis, 38, decided earlier this year that he could address the information-security issue to greater effect as a cybersecurity evangelist and as head of security research at Dartmouth. The research under way at the Institute for Security Technology Studies includes the development of a system-security-evaluation simulator to help organizations understand the interplay of cybersecurity applications in complex networks, a monitoring system that would report the real-time health status of the Internet, and a warning mechanism to detect the early stages of cyberattacks.
The threats to business and critical infrastructure are profound: Telecommunications, energy, financial systems, and air-traffic control are all vulnerable to attack. That's why Vatis is establishing the Institute for Information Infrastructure Protection (I3P). Its mission: to develop a national R&D agenda for information-infrastructure protection that will identify and prioritize the top security needs. With a total of $6 million that Congress has appropriated for fiscal years 2001 and 2002, Vatis is approaching other academic research centers and leaders in business and government to participate.
As Vatis envisions the group's growth, the IT-security agenda would be reassessed annually to help researchers decide where to focus most of their efforts. "It could also be used as an assessment and measuring tool by government agencies that provide funding for cybersecurity research," he says. "Private companies also could use the agenda to develop ideas for their research."
It's his background of building a consensus around the importance of information security that positions Vatis to bring his vision for I3P to fruition. And it's the high stakes that make achieving the goal a must, says Michael Erbschloe, author of Information Warfare: How To Survive Cyber Attacks (McGraw Hill Professional Publishing, 2001). "It's a formidable task, but one that must be done," Erbschloe says. "You couldn't have picked a more prepared, dedicated person than Vatis to get this job done."

Chalmers, L. (2006). GIS in New Zealand schools: Issues and prospects. International Research in Geographical and Environmental Education, 15(3), 268-270.
There are undoubtedly many parallels between Australia and New Zealand in the history of GIS in schools. These parallels occur in the social, institutional, professional development and curricula areas, and each of these topics is considered below. In New Zealand at least, there is still a lot that needs to be done before we can assert that GIS is providing appropriate technology skills for young people in the context of their developing thinking about geographical features and their distribution. This Forum contribution considers some of these matters, with the related paper on teaching with GIS in New Zealand focusing more on the curriculum frameworks and classroom approaches.

For several reasons, that all come together at the same time, Monday is a day for drawing a new line in the sand as the year itself gets the green light. One reason is that the Moon is still in your friendship sector after Sunday's New Moon, with this first New Moon of 2023 creating an opportunity for new beginnings and especially when it comes to your social life, friendship, teamwork and both personal and professional networking. It was just four days earlier that Mercury, the third of the four planets that began the year in retrograde motion turned direct in your career sector. This has given this new professional year the green light, but it is Uranus' direct turn on Monday that releases the final brake and severs the final mooring line to 2022. While Uranus' direct turn in your income sector will give income potential the green light, just as this professional year has been given the green light, this is much bigger than that. As the last of the four planets that began the year in retrograde motion to turn direct, this is the point when the year itself gets the green light.

We are a fear-based society, and there lies before us the invitation to stop surviving and start evolving.
Fear is good when it is related to consciously. Fear's main function is to act as an alarm to danger, threat, or motivational conflict, which then initiates unconscious natural adaptive responses that are a part of human evolution.
Fear responses have evolved to protect us. These responses are very useful and necessary.
Fight. In the workplace, the fight response looks like defensiveness. Symptoms include verbal and non-verbal defensiveness or attacks, and also repetitive explanations, reasons, and justifications. The chin is forward, and the hands are acting out – every verbal and non-verbal cue is that of a fighter boxing in the ring with no opponent, usually more vocal and very loud.
Flight (or Flee). At work, this may look like mentally tuning out during a meeting or looking at your laptop or phone. The body is there, but mentally, you've left the meeting, stopped participating, and are no longer present. Sometimes, people may literally walk out. Situations in high-growth companies where people become afraid that the culture is dying are only one example. People become scared when experiencing more change than they can handle, so they leave the team or company.
Faint. In the workforce, this may look like spacing out. My clients describe their faint experience as: "I can't find the words" or "I go stupid" or "My thoughts become foggy" and "I can't articulate what I want to say." Fainting is a self-protective strategy from too much stress on the nervous system.
When someone is in a fear response, it's like talking to a wall or a caged animal. You can't rationalize the irrational – and they will act irrationally. Fear is the enemy of reason. The individual is not connected to themselves and has been hijacked by instinct.
Because fear responses happen automatically and unconsciously, people don't realize they've been hijacked. Fear does not discriminate – we can see irrational behavior from CEOs, PhDs, therapists, top-notch engineers, and presidents of anything.
It's important to understand and be knowledgeable about the physiology of fear. Fortunately for us, there is brand-new neuroscience that points to the biology of our experience – and with knowledge comes the opportunity for more evolved behavior.
Our sympathetic nervous system engages.
The amygdala, a part of our brain, processes sensory signals and generates a fear response by stimulating autonomic responses such as increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, and involuntary muscle reaction.
Blood rushes to our core to protect our organs.
The amygdala hijacks our prefrontal cortex during this response, leading to a narrowing of our sight while wiping out our ability to think clearly and intelligently.
People differ from animals regarding fear-centered physiological events. A gazelle on the savanna won't engage the sympathetic nervous system unless there is a direct threat, such as a lion.
The gazelle will try to outrun the lion, and it will need its sympathetic nervous system to do so. One of two things will happen: it will either outrun the lion or it won't. If it does, its body knows to turn off its sympathetic nervous system and return to physiological homeostasis.
Where humans differ is our sympathetic nervous system will engage when merely thinking about a threat. Even with no real threat, we go into survival mode based on our thoughts of what might happen.
To reiterate: even without a real threat, this is a real physiological event – your physiology is fighting you. To make matters worse, with no real threat, your nervous system doesn't have an outlet to move out your fear-driven energy naturally; therefore you feel terrible – contracted, constricted, and uncomfortable, and unable to think clearly. This exacerbates the experience and puts us into a deeper survival mode.
If I don't do well, I won't get promoted.
If the project doesn't go well, will I lose my job?
If I tell her the truth, I will hurt her feelings.
What will people think if I say I don't know?
If I compare myself to others, I'm not good enough.
What will people think if I leave the company to align with my values?
Last time I screwed it up. I better not do that again!
To shift out of survival mode, re-engage your parasympathetic nervous system!
DO exhale. When you exhale, your sympathetic nervous system turns off, and then your parasympathetic nervous system turns on. Start exhaling, and the inhale will take care of itself.
DON'T eat. Known as the "rest-and-digest system," your parasympathetic nervous system turns on when you eat – don't fall into the trap of stress eating.
Fear unconsciously runs most of our society. Many interlocking aspects of society have become increasingly sophisticated in communicating messages and information that produce fear responses. Advertising, political ads, news coverage, and social media all send the constant message that people should be afraid – very afraid.
Because thoughts are so pervasive, fear is pervasive. We live in a culture of fear, and most people are in survival mode. We end up fearing the wrong things, incredibly out of proportion to reality. For example, we have a much higher chance of being killed by lightning than by a terrorist.
A huge opportunity to evolve past survival mode is possible: Recognize your fear pattern and shift out of it by breathing through, and being with, your fear-based energy, and from there, paying attention to whatever wants attention.
Most of all, gain insight from the experience of being in survival mode versus not. What caused you to be triggered? What worked for you to shift from survival mode? Time to raise your awareness.
"The wisdom behind fear is there's something that wants attention. Fear is an invitation to be alert, see, notice, and take productive action.
With a promotion, a new project, or when you're poised on the edge of your next learning experience, you may feel fear energy. This is a call to be clear about what to focus on within yourself while you expand in your career.

As I'm the CTO I get to do all kinds of things (but mainly coding!) Because I was the one who created the automated invoicing system, I typically handle our accounts!
I think coding is by definition creative. All developers are creative.
Coding - singing silly songs.
Nah. It's just covered in junk I haven't got around to dealing with. The only personalisation is a calendar my wife got me which has pictures of me on it every month.
Well, I probably wouldn't introduced myself like that: "Hi, I'm Chris, I'm creative" - but deep down I think I am.
We're pretty big on table-tennis in the office (terrible stereotype, but there you have it) - and I'm not very good, so I need the practice. We actually have a leaderboard and a very developed set of rules.
We're very collaborative at Lexoo - no feature goes out without a few eyes on it. We try to make sure all the non-technical decisions are resolved before coding begins (things like email copy, button placement etc.).
Nah. I do use LinkedIn for talking with people who I don't really have a connection to I guess. Very rarely I might tweet a service that we use for customer support.
Working for a small company means that everything you do makes a difference, there's no room/time for doing busy work! It's great when you see customers actually USE the features you made!
There's a genre of music called 'Krautrock' (terribly un-pc I know - but it is real!). This is a genre of music developed in Germany in the 70s, and one of the defining factors is a strong, steady drum beat. I find listening to a repetitive, consistent beat really conducive for coding, and helps me really think things through.
Our whole team has lunch together every day at our communal table, which is a great way to build camaraderie. We typically don't talk about work over lunch, but just yak away about whatever TV show we're watching, or funny thing we'd read on twitter.
Every Friday at 5 o'clock we have 'Beers with Peers' - a name we stole from our investors: Forward Partners. We just stand around in the office with Beers (or wines, or non-alcoholic drinks), play some music, and generally hang out until we get sick of each other and go home.
I hate CSS so I love it when I get a third-party Front End dev to work on it (but I generally have to do it). Also, I've trained some members of the team some basics of html, so I don't have to do copy tweaks.
I think I'm more productive earlier in the day than at the end of the day, so I like to leave boring or repetitive jobs until the end of the day.
Me and some mates get together every week to play board games.
Sure I do! I'm excited to see what customers have come in, or what new sales we've made. Also every morning we have an automated email that goes around that lists out the enquiries that came in the previous day, and how much we made in sales which is a great way to start the day.
Yep, I like to do more research activities during the weekends to find out about technologies I might need during the working week. Or if I have a long running script I might keep it running on my terminal so I can keep tabs on it.
I had to think long and hard about this - because I really honestly love being a developer, it's hard for me to think of something else I'd rather be doing. That said, maybe I'd like to spend a day as an Ice Cream taster.
Yep - my own laptop and phone.

Stop trying to diagnose our 'very stable genius' president. He might be right.
The 25th Amendment was never intended to be a coup mechanism. It was put in place for times when a president was legitimately, unambiguously disabled.
James S. Robbins
Michael Wolff's new semifictional book about the Trump White House has sparked a renewed wave of overwrought speculation about the president's mental fitness. Not one to shy away from a fight, President Trump punched back that not only is he a successful chief executive, he's a "very stable genius" to boot. Dilbert creator Scott Adams took the matter a step further by arguing that proclaiming himself a "very stable genius" or "VSG" was itself a genius Trump move because that will be his "forever name." Whether people use the expression VSG admiringly or sarcastically, the words "Trump" and "genius" are going to be kept in close proximity.
Diagnosing the president is something of a cottage industry among liberals and has been since before the election. Some medical professionals seem willing to ignore codes of conduct such as the American Psychiatric Association's "Goldwater Rule," named for a previous Republican politician liberals thought was unfit to serve, that forbid drawing conclusions about the mental fitness of people they have never examined.

Yale psychologist Bandy Lee suggests what might be needed is an intervention of the sort where "we contain the person, we remove them from access to weapons, and we do an urgent evaluation ... even against their will." However Lee, who edited a collection of essays entitled The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump, acknowledges that this "will really look like a coup, and while we are trying to prevent violence, we don't wish to incite it through, say, an insurrection." Even so, she noted that Democratic members of Congress with whom she has met were "already convinced of the dangerousness of the president and the need for an evaluation."
Behind all this speculation about Trump's fitness for office lurks the 25th Amendment, which Wolff claims is "alive every day" at the White House. Trump critics have long fantasized about invoking the little-used amendment to remove him from office, but it is not so easy.
By the amendment's terms, if the vice president and a majority of the Cabinet determine the president is "unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office," the vice president immediately becomes acting president. Simple, no?
Well, no, because if the president objects to his ouster, he resumes his office. But if the vice president and a majority of the Cabinet intervene once again, the whole mess is thrown to Congress, where both houses must vote by two-thirds to remove the president, or he stays.
This amendment was never intended to be a coup mechanism. It was put in place for circumstances where a president was legitimately, unambiguously disabled. Not only would such a plot create a genuine constitutional crisis that would undermine public order, and perhaps spark a civil war, it is politically foolish. If the president were in such dire political straits that he was apt to lose two-thirds votes in both houses of Congress, it would be much easier simply to impeach him, which only requires a majority vote on the House side.
There is no incentive for a vice president to depose the chief executive using the 25th Amendment when he could just let Congress do the dirty work. And in any case, Vice President Pence would never play Brutus in this ridiculous subversion.

POLICING THE USA: A look at race, justice, media
Being called unfit for duty puts Trump in good company, not only with Barry Goldwater but also Ronald Reagan. Detroit Mayor Coleman Young called the Gipper "crazy, trigger-happy and dangerous," which pretty much summed up the left-wing critique. Books by disgruntled Reagan administration insiders such as David Stockman, Michael Deaver and Donald Regan also took the president to task for his alleged lack of mental fitness.But Reagan was an outsider who had come to shake up the establishment and restore American greatness, which he did.
The same is true of Donald Trump. He came to politics a novice, prevailed over the best and brightest in both party establishments, and won a race the smart set said he was certain to lose. The presidency was his entry-level job. Since then, he has presided over a booming economy, obliterated ISIS, cut taxes and regulations, reduced unemployment, boosted the stock market, and sent consumer confidence to a 17-year high.
Is that crazy? Sounds like what happens when you elect a VSG.

Huis ter Nieuwburg or Huis ter Nieuburch ("House at New Borough") was a palace in Rijswijk, Holland, Dutch Republic. The symmetrical French Classicist building was probably designed by the French architect Jacques de la Vallée and was built between 1633 and 1636 for stadtholder Prince Frederick Henry. The palace with gardens was the country house of the Princes of Orange for years, and it was used for the peace negotiations resulting in the Treaty of Rijswijk in 1697. After the death of Prince William III in 1702, the palace was inherited by the Kings of Prussia, until it was given back to the Princes of Orange by King Frederick II.
Today, the only reminders of the palace are two of the ponds and an obelisk commemorating the peace treaty.

Tesla stuns with surprise profit and faster progress on new model and factory
Olesya Dmitracova
The Independent 24 October 2019
Tesla proved its critics wrong in its latest set of financial results, unveiling an unexpected profit and record car deliveries, and announcing that it is ahead of schedule on a new model and a new plant.
The company made $1.86 (£1.44) per share in the third quarter, smashing analysts' forecasts for a loss. It delivered 97,000 cars to customers in the period to 30 September, comfortably surpassing the previous record of 95,356.
Tesla now expects to launch the Model Y, an all-electric SUV, by the summer of 2020, months earlier than originally planned, and its new "gigafactory" in Shanghai has already started trial production. Manufacturing in China enables the carmaker to avoid import duties and offer lower prices in one of its most important markets.
Following the news on Wednesday, Tesla's shares jumped nearly 21 per cent after market close to levels last reached in February.
"Tesla nails it at last," said Neil Wilson, chief market analyst for Markets.com. The results stand in contrast to the repeated large losses the company has made since its inception. In the second quarter, Tesla reported a loss of $408m.
But Mr Wilson added: "In one sense, we shouldn't get too excited", noting the much smaller profit of $143m in the latest quarter and lower revenues compared with a year ago.
Tesla is pinning much of its hopes for sustained profitability on the Model Y. Chief executive Elon Musk said on Wednesday that the mid-size SUV could outsell the Model S, X and 3 combined.
SUVs have become very popular in the US, Europe and Canada, but most models still run on petrol, leaving Tesla to cater to consumers looking for an all-electric alternative.
Tesla's earnings improved partly thanks to the recognition of deferred revenue from its "Smart Summon" feature, which allows drivers to call for their car to pick them up using a smartphone app.
US federal safety regulators are examining the feature as videos have appeared online showing driverless Teslas running into obstacles or nearly hitting other cars.
Mr Musk said on Wednesday that software updates over the coming weeks would improve Smart Summon.
The company also stuck to its earlier forecast that it will deliver over 360,000 vehicles in the year as a whole.

Q: Mostrar array con guion en lugar de coma Estoy mostrando un array desde javascript usando el siguiente for:
for (var y = 0; y < arrayHay.length; y++) {
     $(".reporteBody").append('

Caja #' + arrayHay[y] + "

" + arrayMaximo[y] + "

");
}

La cual me la muestra asi:

Como puedo mostrar el mismo array solo que con guion en lugar de la coma?
Muchas gracias por la ayuda.
EDITADO
Estoy tratando con la siguente forma y me sigue dando igual las comas:
for (var y = 0; y < arrayHay.length; y++) {
     str = arrayMaximo[y].toString();
     str.replace(",", "-");
     console.log("Cadena nueva:", str);
     $(".reporteBody").append('

Caja #' + arrayHay[y] + "

" + str + "

");
}

A: Con la funcion replace:
str = arrayHay[y];
str.replace(",", "-", "gi");

Fuente
Este ejemplo comprobe que funciona.
arrayHay = ["1,5,21,9"];
str = arrayHay[0];
alert(str);
var re = /,/gi;
str2 = str.replace(re, "-");
alert( str2 );

A: Razones por las que no te funciona y sus soluciones:

*

*replace cambia la cadena especificada por la nueva cadena... pero no modifica la cadena original. Es por ello que no basta con hacer str.replace(",", "-") debes asignar el valor de nuevo: str = str.replace(",", "-").

*Incluso si corriges lo indicado en el paso 1, va a seguir sin funcionar porque tal y como está especificado ese reemplazo, sólo afectará a la primera ocurrencia. Deberías usar expresiones regulares para indicar que quieres que se sustituyan todas las ocurrencias. Eso lo puedes conseguir haciendo str = str.replace(/,/g, "-").
Con esos cambios el código ya funciona:

arrayHay = [1,5];
arrayMaximo = [ [1,5,21,9], [16] ]

for (var y = 0; y < arrayHay.length; y++) {
     str = arrayMaximo[y].toString();
     str = str.replace(/,/g, "-");
     console.log("Cadena nueva:", str);
     $(".reporteBody").append('

Caja #' + arrayHay[y] + "

" + str + "

");
}

Como otra opción, en lugar de usar replace podrías haber hecho join y ahorrarte el paso intermedio del reemplazo de caracteres:

arrayHay = [1,5];
arrayMaximo = [ [1,5,21,9], [16] ]

for (var y = 0; y < arrayHay.length; y++) {
     str = arrayMaximo[y].join("-");
     console.log("Cadena nueva:", str);
     $(".reporteBody").append('

Caja #' + arrayHay[y] + "

" + str + "

");
}

The North Texas Mean Green took down the Houston Cougars on the road this Saturday 164.50-135.50. The Mean Green took a commanding lead from the start, winning the 200 medley relay by a second with the team of Biance Bosca, Sarah Vaisse, Kelsey Opiela and Isabelle Morris (1:45.74). This was good for a season best time for the Mean Green as well.
The Cougars fought back in the first individual event of the meet, the 1000 free, going 1-2 with Delia Weber (10:13.26) and Hannah Herbst (10:27.88). Weber would go on to sweep the distance events, touching in 5:02.24 in the 500. The Mean Green went on to take several consecutive event wins. In the 200 free, North Texas swept the top three with Morris (1:52.89), Katie Moore (1:56.04) and Sarah Manning (1:56.87). Natalia Kwiatkowska won the 100 back in a 57.38, a second ahead of Cougar Eleanna Koutsouveli (58.33). She also took first in the 200 IM (2:07.87). Koutsouveli refused to stay down and later went on to win the 200 back in 2:03.02. Vaisse then took the 100 breast (1:03.90), followed by teammate Claudia Kitching (1:04.93).
The Cougars were back on top with the 200 fly, where Sharo Rodriguez Rivera beat out the field, touching in 2:04.72. NT's Bosca put book ends on the first diving break by winning the 50 free (23.99) and 100 free (51.97).
Houston, which has a historically strong diving program, took the top three spots in both diving disciplines. Micaela Bouter, Danielle Shedd, and Taylor Olanski went 1-2-3 in both the 1 meter and 3 meter.
The 200 breast saw another 1-2 finish for the Mean Green, with Kitching winning in 2:19.62 and teammate Meaghan Rousset touching in 2:24.33. Sydney Buckley of the Mean Green touched out Rodriguez Rivera in the 100 fly 57.33 to 57.57.
The 400 free relay was a really exciting end to the meet. The Cougars were ahead through the first two legs and the Mean Green managed to pull ahead, touching the Cougars out 3:30.61 to 3:31.41. Like the medley relay at the start of the meet, this was a season best for the Mean Green as well.
The Mean Green and Cougars will face off again at the Houston Invitational Nov 19-21 in Houston.

Last night I attended my first holiday party of the season. In addition to great food and drink, the night concluded with a holiday gift exchange. Seeing as I love all things beauty I had to bring a beauty related gift. I saw the Rituals Ancient Beauty gift set on the Gilt website and decided it would be a great gift to bring.
Well, it just so happens that I managed to win my gift back in the holiday gift exchange and I couldn't be happier. The set includes mini versions of Yogi Flow, Brilliant Bliss, Honey Touch and Ayurveda Scrub. Though all of the products smell amazing, I'm looking forward to trying Yogi Flow first because the concept sounds so cool - foaming bath gel! I love foaming hand wash so I imagine foaming shower gel will be just as great.

Literary Agent Profile: Yasmina Jraissati of RAYA Agency
In Feature Articles by Chip Rossetti October 14, 2009
Based in Lebanon, Yasmina Jraissati founded Raya Agency to represent Arab authors and build more connections between international and Arab publishers.
By Chip Rossetti
For Lebanese literary agent Yasmina Jraissati, the 2004 Frankfurt Book Fair kick-started her entry into the world of literary agenting: "I went to Frankfurt that year since that was the year the Arab world was the guest of honor. At that point, I was already thinking about starting an agency." Soon afterwards, building on the contacts she made at Frankfurt that year, Jraissati launched the Paris-based RAYA Agency, which represents Arabic language authors and specializes in selling their translation rights internationally.
In 2004, literary agents in the Arab world were virtually unheard of. "Now," says Jraissati, "with all the buzz about the Arab world, it's a different environment." The last few years have also brought the annual International Prize for Arabic Fiction (the "Arab Booker" prize), now in its third year. RAYA represents two authors shortlisted for the 2008 prize, both of which she will be shopping at the Fair this year: In Praise of Hatred, by Syrian novelist Khaled Khalifa ("We've sold that title into five languages already—without a translation on hand") and June Rain, by French-educated Lebanese author Jabbour Douaihy.
Operating as an Arabic literary agent involves straddling the different publishing environments of the Arab World and Europe. "On both sides, it's kind of a traffic jam. On the Arabic side, there have been few publishers looking to acquire foreign rights, but that's changing now, and more Arabic publishers are open to acquiring books from abroad." In general, it's easier to place French and English literature with Arabic houses, she says, although she is frequently approached by European houses publishing in less widely spoken languages, asking her to act as their Arabic-language subagent.
"On the other side, there's a traffic jam in that few non-Arabic houses have people who can read Arabic," which, Jraissati points out, can make acquisitions a challenge. To date, RAYA has worked mostly with European houses, although Jraissati is now looking to expand her work with Asian publishers: "For me, it's very interesting that China is the Guest of Honor this year." She points out that there are more exchanges between European and Asian countries than between the Arab world and Asia, something she would like to help change.
Jraissati adds that she is "busier than ever this year," and that the digital revolution in publishing has not affected her directly—or at least not yet. The impact of e-publishing in the Arab world will be "extremely interesting," though, given the perennial problems of limited book distribution and censorship. "I'm not sure software producers really perceive the Arab world as a potential market, although they should. I hope they will: Arabic publishers, when I talk to them, seem both interested and apprehensive."
Coming Soon: Arabic Publishing Database
Jraissati (along with Nadim Tarazi, founder of Lebanon's La Maison du Livre association) is developing a collaborative online platform for the Arabic publishing industry, with the support of Lebanon's Ministry of Culture, called "Mubtada wa Khabar"—loosely translated as "Subject and Predicate."
It will launch in the weeks after Frankfurt, leading up to the annual Beirut Book Fair (running from November 28 to December 11). Mubtada wa Khabar will eventually serve as a clearinghouse for Arabic publishing, including a directory of profiles of publishers, agents, and booksellers, as well as a database of title information and information on copyright, including downloadable boilerplate documents—the latter aimed at counteracting copyright infringement and pirated editions.
"The idea is to make the Arabic book industry more transparent," says Jraissati.
