Hello. I'm popquiz95, and I need budgeting advice. Everyone all together now - "Hi popquizkid95'.
I"m a parent of 4. My spouse recently became unemployed, so it's time to start tight budgeting. I make good money. But with 4 kids, a house, two cars, and student loan debt, things are going to get tight in a hurry.
With the technology today, there must be something out there to help us balance our budget without over spending. What about an iPhone app? Spreadsheet? Other software?
Please share your methods. Thanks!
I don't use it because I make my own Excel spreadsheets, but it's one of the best. They will need your bank account numbers, your cc numbers and other important data, but to their credit, their databases haven't never been hacked like Target and Home Depot's were. So they are very safe. It is a wonderful tool that shows you pie charts, graphs and gives you an honest look at your income vs payments. Give it a try.
Hello! You're in a complicated situation but still, there ways out. First of all, make sure you are not making popular money mistakes and manage your income wisely, Secondly, try to focus on 2 ways: cut your spending as much as possible and consider additional sources of income. There are mobile apps that help you to make more money, just check the Internet, there are many of them!
Using Quicken (an automated computer program) to manage my finances was probably the biggest change I have made in controlling my spending and setting budgets.
Mint.com is a great app. It's by far the safest and most user-friendly budgeting app in my experience.
True that a budgeting app can help you with your current situation; however, it's not entirely the way out. Yes, it's a start but you might consider getting new sources of income to get out of debt faster and to establish a set budget.
There is a iOS app called Spending that helps you understand where you spending and decide where to stop spending. The only drawback, it is not attached to any of your bank accounts that could should you live data of your bank balance.
Rather than downloading an app or getting a fancy doo-dad, my suggestion would be that you move quickly to a cash system for miscellaneous household, grocery expenses, clothing, non-essentials, and entertainment. Mint is great and all--if your bank/credit union talks with it (ours doesn't), if it updates consistently, and if it categorizes your expenditures accurately, but it occasionally does not. Entering manually in an app takes a lot of discipline and is easy to forget, too--I'd rather sit down at the first of each month with my office door closed, a big cup of coffee and Excel opened, and figure out exactly where everything went. From there, my wife and I meet to discuss our budget categories--where we did good, what we need to improve on, and how we're going to approach the next month. It has helped greatly with transparency, goal-setting and being on the same page.
Your car/student loan/mortgage payments do not change, but the aforementioned categories are highly variable and also the most controllable. Have everything else set on auto-pay and make once monthly withdrawals for the aforementioned categories. Keep the budget allotments in corresponding envelopes and do not commingle. Take your debit/credit cards entirely out of the equation. Once you sit down (and you should each month) to go through your checking account spending, it'll be much easier to see where your money went, rather than trying to figure out if that $50 to Home Depot was for home improvement, a fix-it item, or a gift for Dad's birthday.
When my wife and I are not tracking (occasionally we fall off the bandwagon), our entertainment budget shoots to $300+ per month when it should really be just $200. Our grocery budget also climbs significantly when we're not using cash--it becomes easier to, say, pick up a six pack because "We've been good with our money," only to find out we were $100 over at the time we decided to buy it. When we're on cash, we say "when the money's gone, it's gone." Imagine you're living paycheck to paycheck--if the money doesn't exist, it can't be spent!
1. Income account- For income only, no eftpos/debit card for this account, All mandatory payments are automated from this account.
3. Transactional Account-debit/eftpos card for this one, money from income account, goes into this one automatically. I draw cash from this account for haircuts, sundries, grocery items, toiletries, pocket money, clothing, etc.,[/u] Hope this is of some help.
I utilize a more complex system of automatic withdrawals into savings buckets so that I always have money available to handle non-monthly expenses, which is the biggest killer in most people's budgeting systems.
So as an example of how this is used, when the bill comes for my AAA membership in August, I just pay it out of my checking account, and refund my checking account the same amount out of the Memberships savings account. For each account, I total up how much I expect to be spent each year, divide that by 12, and save that much each month. I used to have a Car Maintenance account, but I stopped doing that because that comes out of the Emergency Fund if the monthly budget can't cover it. Savings buckets are for electable expenses; for instance I can choose to skip my AAA membership or not repair the crack in the ceiling. But the car's gotta get fixed. The Emergency Fund has a ceiling of $15,000. If it gets dipped into, it gets paid back each month as a priority until it returns to that amount.
This is one of the most effective money saving tips. Keeping yourself accountable is often all you need to do to change your spending habits. When we honestly track how much we're spending on frivolous things we realize how much we could be saving. So track all of your spendings for at least a month. Once you've figured out where all your money is going you can make a conscious decision to stop spending money on certain luxuries — and decide which ones really do matter to you.
Figure out where the biggest parks are in your city and commit to exploring one every weekend of the summer. Borrow books, comics and movies from the library. Dig out your old deck of playing cards and learn some new games. If you're willing to create you're sure to find something fun to do without spending a single dollar.

Lewis poised to join Fangio, Schumacher
AFP | Publication date 19 October 2018 | 11:23 ICT
Lewis Hamilton stands on the verge of history this week as he needs to out-score Sebastian Vettel by eight points at the United States Grand Prix to become only the third five-time Formula One world champion.
If he does, the 33-year-old Briton will join Juan Manuel Fangio, champion in 1951, 1954, 1955, 1956 and 1957 and Michael Schumacher, the title-winner in 1994 and 1995 who delivered five more for Ferrari from 2000 to 2004, in an exclusive hall of sporting fame.
Having won five of the previous six American races held at Austin's Circuit of the Americas, in Texas, Hamilton is a hot favourite to win again and wrap up the title fight, but he is distancing himself from that narrative.
Instead, despite luxuriating in a 67-point lead after a streak of six wins in seven outings, including the last four in succession, the Mercedes racer has done his utmost to warn against any sign of complacency.
"That part is easy for me because I'm very, very strict on not being complacent with our position and still there are 100 points available," he said.
"I know we still have to continue doing the job we're doing now right until the last flag. That's the goal – knowing from past experience that so much can happen.
"I'll focus on amendments I'd like them to focus on making for next year's car, but also how we can also continue to extract from this car because there's still areas we can improve."
Having tasted title defeats in the past, notably in his maiden F1 season in 2007 and when former Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg beat him in 2016, Hamilton can draw on bitter experience to drive himself toward his objectives.
"It's one thing dreaming it and one thing executing it," he said. "We knew we would have a tough battle this year – you saw the ups and downs at the beginning of the season.
'Class act'
"It was such an unknown. I always do plan on coming back stronger in the second half of the season and the preparations I went through in my break were spot-on – and allowed me to perform better."
Hamilton can afford to be conservative in his racing and still take the title if Vettel and Ferrari are unable to beat him or win the race.
But if he wins, the German must finish second to keep his hopes alive, albeit only mathematically. Third behind a victorious Hamilton would not be enough.
Aware that it was Kimi Raikkonen, in a Ferrari, who took the 2007 title when Hamilton lost momentum in the final races, and that the only other winner in Austin has been Vettel, with Red Bull in 2013, Hamilton himself knows he cannot relax.
"There's still 100 points available and anything can happen," he said, ignoring the siren call of his easy enjoyment of America, where he feels so much at home as he showed while fulfilling media duties in New York.
That focus and tenacity are among the qualities that his Mercedes team chief Toto Wolff highlighted when he described him a "class act" and a driver who is "more complete than ever before".
Wolff also pointed out that Hamilton's level of performance was challenging the entire team to perform at higher levels.
He added that this title scrap is "far from over" and that past results in Austin will "have no impact" this weekend.
"Everyone knows that we cannot take anything for granted, so we will be as diligent as ever, keep our heads down and work hard to get a good result in Texas," said Wolff, adding that Ferrari will push until the final corner.

Stunning artefacts from Gosposvetska on show at City Museum
Friday, February 8 | 8:00
Ljubljana, 8 February - The ancient sarcophagus of a mysterious woman with a blue glass bowl that was discovered during the excavations in Gosposvetska Street in the centre of Ljubljana is now on show at the Ljubljana City Museum.
The sarcophagus of the woman, aged between 30 and 40, was one of the 40 found during the street's renovation in 2017 and 2018, but its place and contents indicate the woman was an important member of an early Christian community.
The details of the project, which has caught the interest of the National Geographic, were presented at a press conference on Thursday, launching the exhibition at the City Museum's treasury, which will be running until the end of March.
Archaeologist Andrej Gaspari explained that the mysterious woman's sarcophagus was located in a burial chapel, five by five metres in size, which itself was at the centre of a late-Roman cemetery complex containing more than 350 burials.
"More burials, exclusively sarcophagi, were later placed in the chapel, and later also first skeleton graves ... Later there appeared to have been burials focusing on this original chapel," Gaspari said.
The mysterious lady was found buried with a blue glass drinking bowl in her lap, in the upper part of her thighs. On her left hand she had two bracelets, made of black jade or jet, which was thought to have supernatural properties.
The archaeologists also discovered gold threads, but it not clear whether the woman was covered or whether she had a veil of a gold thread stitched fabric.
The drinking bowl is of deep blue colour with a Greek inscription on the inside reading: "Drink to live forever, for many years!". This indicates that it had originated from the south-western Asia Minor or the eastern Mediterranean, although it is impossible to establish its exact origin.
The bowl is thought to be dating from the late 3rd or early 4th century AD. The mausoleum was built after 276 AD and was torn down sometime before 325 AD. "This was the time of the worst persecution of Christians in our lands," Gaspari said.
The lady's sarcophagus was made of Neogene limestone just like all the other sarcophagi found in Emona, the Roman predecessor of Ljubljana. The sarcophagus has no decoration or inscription.
The analysis of the woman's remains did not suggest any particular pathology that would indicate the cause of her death. Gaspari said that they discovered marks of an old shoulder injury and some tooth decay.
Work on the interpretation and further analysis of the finds continues, while in time the artefacts will be included in the permanent collection of the City Museum.

Q: Are the physical memory addresses of an array also stored in order like the virtual ones? I mean when we have in C++ a table:
int tab[3] = {1,2,3}; we know that if tab address is X then address of tab[1] is X + 1. I've been reading a bit about virtual and physical addresses, so I guess these addresses are virtual. So if in physical memory tab is Y address then tab[1] is Y+1 or doesn't have to?

A: First; everything that's contiguous within a page will be contiguous for both virtual memory and physical memory.
If the array happens to be split across a page boundary (e.g. first half in one page, second half in another page), or if the array is too big to fit in 2 (or 3) pages, then it will still be contiguous in virtual memory, but may not be contiguous in physical memory.
For most things, "non-contiguous in physical memory" doesn't matter.
However; for (direct mapped and associative) caches there's potential efficiency loss. To understand this imagine if there's a 64 KiB cache and you have a 64 KiB array, but the physical addresses happen to use the same entries in the cache - you can end up with the array fighting for the same small amount of cache (and being unable to use most of the cache).
To prevent this problem good operating systems use something called "page colouring" or "cache colouring"; which mostly means that physical pages are allocated so that the pages (the bits of the address that matter for determining where in the cache the data would end up) seem contiguous (even if the physical pages are not actually contiguous). You can read more about this here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cache_coloring

A: It does not have to be. The operating system is free to use any mapping of virtual memory to physical memory that the hardware can support. Some of the virtual memory addresses may not even map to physical memory if, for example, the contents of parts of the table have been swapped to disk due to a shortage of physical memory.

How to Forge a Stronger Relationship Between Sales and Content Marketing
by Jenn Davis / Nov 25, 2020
In an ideal world, your company has a truly close alignment between sales and marketing, and communication flows like a river between these teams. In reality, however, there are going to be gaps in communication and collaboration.
Despite those potential gaps in alignment, content marketing can help boost sales when deployed appropriately. It can lead to stronger client relationships, more engaged prospects, and sometimes just gives you an excuse to reach out again.
As a sales professional, how do you ensure you're getting the most out of your marketing team's efforts? As a marketer, how can you help your sales team by creating and sharing the right kinds of content?
Let's start with a story.
This is a real (but anonymized) example from a win our team had not too long ago.
A prospect engaged with a salesperson and had a few positive conversations. Then, the deal stalled due to external budget circumstances. But the salesperson persistently kept in touch with the prospect. He often used content created by the marketing team as an excuse to reach out.
After a few of these touches, the prospect sought out a few additional pieces of content from the company's website. The salesperson saw these interactions and continued to keep in touch until finally, the conversation turned toward back to buying.
Not long after, the salesperson negotiated a deal valued at more than $750,000. It took nearly a year after that first conversation, but the repeated light touch with relevant and engaging content kept the company top of mind for the prospect so that when she was finally ready to buy, the salesperson was ready to close the deal.
Content didn't make this deal happen. But it helped create opportunities for the salesperson to stay in touch and contributed to a stronger relationship that paid off in the end. Here's how you can use content marketing to nurture your prospect relationships.
Sales: How can you make better use of your marketing team's content resources?
A good salesperson knows how to deliver value in every prospect interaction, and that the value of a strong relationship can pay off in higher deal values. One great way to add value to the sales process is by sharing the right content at the right time. Here's how.
1. Stay up-to-date on your company's marketing resources.
Hopefully, your marketing team has been sharing new content as it's published and making the content catalog available internally. Spend some time reviewing what's available and how you can use it to your advantage.
If they haven't shared these resources internally, you can sign up for your own company's marketing newsletter or browse the public resources page on your company's website. Either way, be sure you know what the marketing team is publishing.
2. Have a chat with someone on the marketing team.
How well do you know the members of your marketing team? They will likely have additional context to help you position content resources more effectively. They may have tips on what content is the most unique or most interesting. Ask them questions about the best resources for new prospects versus those closer to the decision stage.
3. Attend company webinars.
Sign up for your marketing team's public-facing webinars. Even if you can't attend at the time they're aired live, most teams will send a recording later.
Listen to the experts the marketing team brings in, the points they discuss, and most importantly, the questions attendees – potential customers – ask. Use this intel to inform your own outreach.
4. Add content to your outreach sequences.
Make a plan for when and how you might use content in your sales process. Are there certain pieces you know will appeal to most prospects? Or are there pieces that address a particular issue some prospects encounter? Know your buyer's journey and how your company's available content maps to that (more on this shortly).
When you include a relevant resource as a value-add to your outreach sequences, add a note about how it's relevant to the prospect. Personalize it as much as you can. Connect the content to the contact.
5. Provide feedback back to the marketing team.
As a salesperson, you talk to prospective customers every day. You probably learn a lot about their work and their problems. When you send content to a prospect, they'll probably share their thoughts about it with you. How can you relay that information back to the marketing team?
Consider asking yourself these questions:
Is there content you'd like to use but don't have? What topics are missing from the current resource library?
How do prospects respond to the content you send? What feedback do they have?
Are there content formats you'd prefer?
How do your performance metrics look when you include content? Do your emails get more opens or clicks? Are you more likely to get a reply?
Marketing: How can you make content more impactful for sales?
A good marketer knows their ideal customer profile, what that customer is looking for at every stage in the buyer journey, and how to create content targeted for every stage of that journey. So how can you ensure that content gets to the right person at the time, especially after that contact has been handed off to sales?
1. Make content easy to access.
Just as you plan an external distribution strategy for your content, you need to plan an internal distribution strategy as well. This starts with an accessible internal content library. Whether you use a shared Dropbox folder or something more sophisticated, you should have one place for all your current public-facing content.
Include a searchable index of your content so pieces are categorized by buyer journey stage, topic, content type, ideal audience.
Above all, don't just direct the sales team to your company's public resources page. The easier it is for a salesperson to find the piece of content they need, the more likely they are to use that content.
2. Communicate the content's value.
As much as marketers would like to believe otherwise, most people inside an organization are not actually going to read every company eBook or watch every video. So it's up to you to make sure your teammates know what to do with your content.
For every piece of major content, consider preparing the following to enable the sales team use that content most effectively:
Executive summary or list of key takeaways
Positioning tips for the sales team
Ideal audience profile
Links to related content if someone wants to learn more
3. Share new content regularly.
This may sound simple, but you need to tell your sales team when you publish new content. Send regular updates about recent content and tips for how to use it. Send a weekly email, set up a Slackbot, schedule monthly reviews – whatever works best for your organization. Remind the sales team what they have to work with.
You should also tease what content is coming up, especially if your team is working on a major project. This gives the sales team time to plan how they might use it or even use it as a talking point with prospects, like a preview or sneak peek that only they know about.
4. Take feedback from sales seriously.
Marketing leaders should check in regularly with sales for feedback on how they're using the content and how prospects have responded. Salespeople are on the front lines, talking to prospects and customers every single day. They may have feedback that can help you understand how content is performing in the real world.
Sales can be a great source of inspiration for future content topics and formats. Listen and learn.
5. Know how your content performs down-funnel.
You hopefully already measure awareness and lead conversion with metrics like views, downloads, demo sets, and sales accepted opportunities, but you also need to know what happens to your content when prospects engage with it.
What is your contribution to actual revenue?
There's a lot marketers can learn from your company's sales data. Dig into metrics like the following to understand the larger context of your content.
Demos held. How many demos are held relative to how many were requested or set?
Close rate. How many deals close successfully?
Opportunity age. How long does it take to close a deal?
Retention. What percentage of accounts or revenue are retained at renewal?
LTV. How much is a customer worth over their lifetime with your company?
To know what content contributes to sales, answer questions about what the opportunities associated with a piece of content look like. Do they behave differently than the typical opportunity in your company's sales pipeline?
Sales and marketing: What kind of content works best when?
We typically associate content marketing with the awareness stage of the funnel. It's written to attract new leads, not nurture them through the sales process.
But the reality is that an effective content marketing strategy will address customers throughout your company's entire sales funnel. There should be content for every buyer at every stage in their journey.
In the awareness stage, you mostly want prospects to know you exist and what you do at a high level. Aim for discoverability and credibility.
Content for generating awareness can mention your product, but shouldn't be product-focused. In fact, the less it mentions your company or product, the more credible it will seem.
It should be engaging and informative and focus on topics like industry trends and further your company's thought leadership. That includes content like:
Gated content about trends in your industry
Thought leadership published in external sources
Earned media and press
In the consideration stage, you want prospects to get to know more about your company and your products. Your goals are persuasion and commitment.
Content at this stage should make a compelling case for why your product is the best and why someone would want to do business with your company. This is especially effective if you can show how someone similar to your potential customer succeeded with your product. You need quantitative data and a good story. Try content like:
Ratings, reviews, and testimonials
Research papers based on exclusive data
In the decision stage, you want prospects to choose you and feel good about it. The goal is confirmation.
This content should be focused on cementing the decision your prospect is this close to making. Demonstrate your product and your company's competence. Show credibility. Provide them with content that helps them to say yes. This includes:
Product-focused guides and webinars
Analyst reports about your industry or company
Sales and content marketing go together like cheese and wine
They're both good, but they're even better together. The best sales professionals are closely connected to their colleagues in marketers, and the best marketers are closely connected to their colleagues in sales.
They both know how content contributes to the sales pipeline, who their audience is, and what they're looking for at every stage of their journey. Using that, content marketers can produce content that generates quantifiable value for a company, and salespeople can use that content when and how it will be most impactful. An effective content marketing program can help boost sales and keep prospects engaged.
Salespeople: Get to know your company's content resources, and use them to add value to your outreach.
Marketing: Get to know your sales team and sales process, and support them both with relevant content that helps move a prospect down the funnel.

Last Update November 20, 2014
Nine issues in golf going into the Masters
By | Associated Press
Nine issues that have helped shape golf this year during the road to the Masters:
1. Protecting a lead
Steve Stricker set the tone for the year at Kapalua when he took a five-shot lead into final round and predicted it would be a burden. Sure enough, he lost four shots in six holes before hanging on for the win. At Torrey Pines, Kyle Stanley had a three-shot lead on the 18th hole when he made triple bogey and lost in a playoff to Brandt Snedeker, who started the day seven shots back. The very next week, Stanley rallied from eight shots behind and won the Phoenix Open when Spencer Levin collapsed. And the following week, Phil Mickelson rallied from six shots behind to win at Pebble Beach. In 13 events on the PGA Tour, only five players have won with a 54-hole lead.
2. Q-school
It took a full year of discussions for the PGA Tour to decide to end nearly 50 years of Q-school. In a massive overhaul, the PGA Tour approved doing away with Q-school as a ticket to the big leagues. Starting next year, the tour will merge the 75 top players from the Nationwide Tour with the top 75 players from the PGA Tour who fail to keep their cards. Those players will compete in three tournaments, with the top 50 advancing to the PGA Tour. There will be a Q-school in the fall, but only for access to the Nationwide Tour. With this change, the PGA Tour will have a wraparound season that starts in October. That will help toward keeping $25 million in prize money from fall tournaments that might otherwise have gone away. But it will make it unlikely for a college player to go straight to the PGA Tour.
3. Tiger Woods
Woods started his season in Abu Dhabi by failing to win for only the ninth time in 63 tries when he had at least a share of the lead going into the final round. This loss was to Robert Rock. He couldn't putt at Pebble Beach. He couldn't get out of the second round at Match Play when he missed more key putts. Then, his year really looked bleak when he withdrew in the middle of the final round at Doral with tightness in his left Achilles tendon. Two weeks later, he was the Tiger Woods of old with a five-shot win at Bay Hill. Now, some are talking about a six-win season and his resumed race to beat Jack Nicklaus' record in the majors. One thing hasn't changed. He stars in his own soap opera.
4. Stars Aligning
Anticipation for the Masters kept growing as top players were winning — Phil Mickelson at Pebble Beach, then Rory McIlroy at the Honda Classic to go to No. 1 in the world, and finally Tiger Woods at Bay Hill. But it has run much deeper than that. Eight players from the top 20 in the world have won this year — Luke Donald (Transitions), McIlroy, Steve Stricker (Kapalua), Woods, Justin Rose (Doral), Hunter Mahan (Match Play), Mickelson and Bill Haas (Riviera). Compare that with a year ago, when only five players from the top 20 in the world had won — three on the PGA Tour (Donald, Bubba Watson and Nick Watney), two on the European Tour (Martin Kaymer and Paul Casey).
5. Best without a win
Jason Dufner considered it a mixed blessing when he realized he was the only player from the top 50 in the world who had not won on any of the six major tours around the world. One could argue for an asterisk next to Rickie Fowler, who won the Korea Open last year. That's part of the OneAsia circuit, which does not have full recognition by the Official World Golf Ranking board. Then again, Fowler won over Rory McIlroy. Does that make Dufner the best player to have never won a tour event? An argument could be made for Briny Baird, who has the most PGA Tour career money ($12.5 million) without ever having won. Brett Quigley is next with just over $11 million. Brian Davis is third in career money without ever having won. All have been runner-up five times. Dufner has been runner-up three times, one of those in a playoff at the PGA Championship.
6. American resurgence
Keegan Bradley's win at the PGA Championship ended the longest drought for Americans in the majors since the Masters began in 1934. The previous six major champions were international players. But there are rumblings of an American resurgence. For the first time since 1991, Americans made it a clean sweep of the West Coast Swing — from Steve Stricker at Kapalua through John Huh (born in New York) in Mexico. A year ago, there were 17 Americans in the top 50 in the world. This year, that number is up to 21.
7. Battle for No. 1
Rory McIlroy at 22 became the second-youngest player to reach No. 1 in the world when he won the Honda Classic. Tiger Woods was 21 when he first got to the top of the ranking in 1997. McIlroy and Woods had something else in common besides youth. Neither of them stayed at No. 1 for very long. McIlroy was there for two weeks until Luke Donald regained the No. 1 spot by winning at Innisbrook. Woods was No. 1 for one week when he was replaced by Ernie Els, who lasted one week until he was replaced by Greg Norman, who lasted one week. Clearly, it was a lot more volatile in 1997 than it is now. Going into the Masters, three players have a shot at No. 1 — Donald, McIlroy and Lee Westwood. All have been there before.
8. South Koreans
K.J. Choi carried the South Korean flag by himself when he first joined the PGA Tour a decade ago. He was joined by Kevin Na and Charlie Wi, Korean-born but raised in California. Each year, he is getting more and more company. Y.E. Yang became the first Asian to win a major at the 2008 PGA Championship. S.Y. Noh and Sang-Moon Bae made it through Q-school last year, and now there are seven South Koreans who are full PGA Tour members this year. Except for the United States, only Australia and South Africa have more players with full-exempt status this year.
9. Ryder Cup
It's rare for there to be so little chatter about the Ryder Cup with the matches only six months away. Then again, there hasn't been much reason to talk about the Ryder Cup. The American qualifying process is based on the PGA Tour money list, with the money from the majors counting double, and we haven't played the first major yet. Not surprisingly, only one player among the top eight has failed to win this year — Keegan Bradley, who won the PGA Championship last year. Only the majors from last year count. It's also too early to figure out what's going on in Europe, except that this figures to be the tougher team to make. One other reason not to get too excited about the Ryder Cup — Davis Love III and Jose Maria Olazabal have not even named their assistant captains yet.

Studies of tire safety show that maintaining proper tire pressure, observing tire and vehicle load limits (not carrying more weight in your vehicle than your tires or vehicle can safely handle), avoiding road hazards, and inspecting tires for cuts, slashes, and other irregularities are the most important things you can do to avoid tire failure, such as tread separation or blowout and flat tires.
Properly maintained tires improve the steering, stopping, traction, and load-carrying capability of your vehicle. Underinflated tires and over-loaded vehicles are a major cause of tire failure. Therefore, as mentioned above, to avoid flat tires and other types of tire failure, you should maintain proper tire pressure, observe tire and vehicle load limits, avoid road hazards, and regularly inspect your tires.
Tire inflation pressure is the level of air in the tire that provides it with load-carrying capacity and affects the overall performance of the vehicle. The tire inflation pressure is a number that indicates the amount of air pressure– measured in pounds per square inch (psi)–a tire requires to be properly inflated. (You will also find this number on the vehicle information placard expressed in kilopascals (kPa), which is the metric measure used internationally.) Manufacturers of passenger vehicles and light trucks determine this number based on the vehicle's design load limit, that is, the greatest amount of weight a vehicle can safely carry and the vehicle's tire size. The proper tire pressure for your vehicle is referred to as the "recommended cold inflation pressure." (As you will read below, it is difficult to obtain the recommended tire pressure if your tires are not cold.) Because tires are designed to be used on more than one type of vehicle, tire manufactur-ers list the "maximum permissible inflation pres-sure" on the tire sidewall. This number is the great-est amount of air pressure that should ever be put in the tire under normal driving conditions.
Step 1: Locate the recommended tire pressure on the vehicle's tire information placard, certification label, or in the owner's manual.
Step 2: Record the tire pressure of all tires.
Step 3: If the tire pressure is too high in any of the tires, slowly release air by gently pressing on the tire valve stem with the edge of your tire gauge until you get to the correct pressure.
Step 4: If the tire pressure is too low, note the difference between the measured tire pres-sure and the correct tire pressure. These "missing" pounds of pressure are what you will need to add.
Step 5: At a service station, add the missing pounds of air pressure to each tire that is under-inflated.
Step 6: Check all the tires to make sure they have the same air pressure (except in cases in which the front and rear tires are supposed to have different amounts of pressure).

The Future of Talk Shows?
Oh. My. Gopod. This might be the coolest, funniest thing ever! Okay, at least this week. It's a talk show, an extremely well done, professional-looking talk show, called This Spartan Life, filmed live in the world of Halo. It's freakin' hysterical. If I were a forward-looking TV studio, I would sign these guys, stat! This is so much better than any of the faux game world/virtual character shows that TechTV, MTV, or anyone else has attempted. Auspiciously enough, the first guest on the first episode is Bob Stein, founder of Voyager, the ground-breaking CD-ROM content company. Voyager was a huge influence on Peter Sugarman and myself while we were developing Beyond Cyberpunk. The guest may be auspicious, his entrance? Not so much. Really funny stuff.

P.T. Barnum sez: Step Right Up, Get Your PS3
How goofy is this. Amazon has a page up already for the PlayStation 3, even though it won't be for sale until spring of '06, if then. And there are even reader-reviews of it, thirteen at the moment. So, Amazon is selling a product that's maybe a year away from the marketplace and "purchasers" of the vaporous product are already reviewing it. Hey, can I sell my used virtual PS3 on eBay?
The interesting thing about this is the price: US$299. This may or may not be an honest number, and if it isn't, it's a clever move on Sony's part to tweak buyer's expectations for an affordable PS3, maybe leading them to hold off on buying an XBox 2…er…360 this holiday season. Your move, Microsoft.
NASA's Flying Car Challenge
After seeing the train wreck (or more accurately, robot wreck) that was the first DARPA Grand Challenge, with out-of-control robot rovers ditching themselves in the desert, is the idea of a similarly-styled flying car challenge a good one? NASA thinks so. According to a piece on Luxist, the space agency has announced a Personal Air Vehicle Challenge. While the grand prize for the DARPA Challenge is now set at US$2 million, NASA's only ponying up 250 Gs. Maybe that's 'cause they'll need the rest of the cash for hardened bunker construction.

The Miracle of Life(Straw)
With some 1 billion people on the planet without access to safe drinking water (NOT a typo), the invention of a device called the LifeStraw could have a profound impact on world health. The LifeStraw is a plastic tube with no moving parts. The user simply drinks from any water source and filters in the tube actively filter out and kill bacteria such as typhoid, cholera, e. coli, salmonella and other common killers. The straws will cost around US$2 and can process 700 liters (around one year's worth) of drinking water.

Okay, you know we love the slightly absurd iPod fashion statements here on Street Tech, but this one takes the cake: a "onesie" for baby (available in white, "mini pink" and "mini blue") that has an iPod click-wheel graphic on the front. Okay, we admit, it's kinda cute, and we're all for the forced nerdification of children. It's just too bad that we can't actually use the silk-screened controls to fast-forward through baby's colicy wail. All in good time, we suppose.

CVS Disposable Camcorder Hacks Update
MAKE has an update on the latest usability hacks for the el cheapo CVS "disposable" digital camcorder. Hackers have figured out how to get video data from the camera to a PC over a custom USB cable. Still something for the pocket-protector crowd only, but it's only a matter of time before hacks reach a level of friendly that mere mortals can deal with. Of course, by then, the camera manufacturer will likely break everything, and the cat and mouse game will continue. Ain't technology fun?

@Cantw8ttobmummy.. from what I remember the HOMA upper limit is 2.5.
@Emmy85- I can see the 2nd line. Are u at 7dp5dt today?
I am! I took another test this morning just to be sure and the line is definitely darker- now just have to hope it sticks!
I think Primary does well in getting pcos women their bfp but are crap in dealing and treating poor responders.
So u shouldn't worry @Cantw8ttobmummy.
Also pcos have a longer fertility window.. so when normal women's eggs decline at around 35 years old, pcos women's eggs decline later ( don't know at what age) but it's definitely later.
Will we be seeing another pee stick pic in here tomorrow morning then @Emmy85 or in a few days?
That's ok! Wow I didn't know that fact- I guess it's good to know for when I want to try for a second down the track!
So congratulations are in order @Giraffez for being PUPO?
@tjuls I've got one left at home so I want to hold off for a couple more days (beta is this Wed) to try and see a noticeable difference in line colour (hopefully!).
Sorry I'm new to this thread, where are you up to in your IVF journey?
@Jazzabelle13- how did ur fs apptment go on Thursday hun? Were they able to give u any answers to ur questions and any changes to the plan nxt cycle?

Q: How many java versions do i have installed on my Mac? I'm a bit confused now. When I run the command java --version in the terminal i get: java 13.0.1. When I open the system preferences and click the java app and then about, i see it says Java version 8 1.8.0_231
Does that mean I have 8, 13 or both?
When I check through the java app.

When I check through the terminal.

When i check for all JDK installed on my system (only 1 version pop ups).

A: You can have multiple JDK installed in one machine but you can have only one version set as default Java SDK. Looks like you have Java 13 set as default.
Try running the following :
echo $JAVA_HOME

You can also go to the tab Java and see the list of all Java Runtime Environments (JRE.)
Please note that just because you have multiple JREs available doesnot mean all corresponding SDK are also there.

A: You can have many version of java on your Mac. But you can run only one of this in a process.
On my Mac, system preferences run with java path :

/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home/bin/java

But in terminal, this run with java path:

/usr/bin/java

I think you can replace java file in /usr/bin by another version java you want.

A: that means you jdk version is 13 , and your jre version is 1.8.
jre is used for running java apps ,and the jdk(java development kit) is for building apps with java language. java jdk is like the android sdk


This richly sumptuous bundle of fat quarters features ten prints from Makower's Sundance collection, designed by Beth Studley. With bold flowers, strong geometrics and cute ditsy designs, these bright prints would make a beautiful modern quilt.
With 10 fat quarters in all, you have 2.5m of fabric here, plenty to make a large lap or single bed quilt, or add a blender such as a navy or dark grey, and you could make a double size bed quilt, depending on the quilt pattern used.

A heuristic argument is an argument that reasons from the value of a method or principle that has been shown experimentally (especially through trial-and-error) to be useful or convincing in learning, discovery and problem-solving, but whose line of reasoning involves key oversimplifications that make it not entirely rigorous. A widely used and important example of a heuristic argument is Occam's Razor.

It is a speculative, non-rigorous argument that relies on analogy or intuition, and that allows one to achieve a result or an approximation that is to be checked later with more rigor. Otherwise, the results are generally to be doubted. It is used as a hypothesis or a conjecture in an investigation, though it can also be used as a mnemonic as well.

John Muir: OG (nature) Influencer
A short introduction to John Muir, the Scottish-American that everyone can learn from – taking on a whole new meaning of #influencer in today's technology fuelled society! Author, philosopher, writer and naturalist – Muir was a well respected pioneer of environmentalism during the late 18th, early 19th Century.
(Source: https://highlandtrails.com)
As an advocate of nature and it's connection to humans, many of Muir's quotes closely relate to our core values here at Wild City. We think it's SO interesting to read about the magic of nature through the mind of John Muir, as he somehow manages to perfectly capture the strength and depth of emotion that nature has upon us as human beings. Without specifically referencing biophilia*, as it wasn't a known term at that time (there will be more on this in a separate blog post!), his views encompass the same ideology which we find hugely important as people and as a business. The way that he describes the feeling of being within nature reflects the feeling that we would like to encourage in others through our workshops. Now this is probably... definitely an over ambitious statement, because it's more of a 'need to be there' kind of thing, but that feeling is something that everyone should have the opportunity to experience, and if we can influence that then we are doing our job!
* Biophilia (noun): (according to a theory of the biologist E. O. Wilson) an innate and genetically determined affinity of human beings with the natural world. (Oxford Languages)
John Muir was an explorer, mountaineer, conservationist, botanist, amateur geologist and writer of distinction. He developed a passion for wild places growing up in the coastal town of Dunbar, east of Edinburgh. At age 10, he emigrated to the United States with his family. Muir embraced all nature from mosquitoes to mountain ranges, recognising that everything is connected. His passion for wild places led to a life-long quest to protect them. Muir's writings helped people understand the importance of wildness. His activism saved Yosemite Valley in California and helped create the world's first national park system. (Discover John Muir, 2020)
Coastal Redwoods, the tallest of all living things.

We visited Muir Woods National Monument, California in September 2019. Named after John Muir due to his environmental campaigns in establishing the United States' National Park system, this vast forest is considered to be one of the most popular tourist attractions in the San Francisco Bay Area. Filled with manmade trail paths to protect the root system, it has a diverse ecosystem that houses a huge variety of plants, trees and animal species, often drenched in essential marine fog (Oh hey Karl!**). At the time of our visit they were undergoing construction work to restore and enhance the coho salmon habitat - this meant that it was particularly quiet so we were free to explore without crowds.
**All that is sunny does not glitter, not all those in the fog are lost. (Twitter: @ KarlTheFog)
**The name Karl is a reference to the 2003 film "Big Fish." The creator told SF Weekly that Karl was the giant everyone was afraid of because they thought he would kill or eat them, when in fact he was just hungry and lonely. (KQED, 2018)
Walking through the forest you feel a sense of awe that challenges your perspective in a powerful yet humbling way. This is enhanced by the sheer magnitude of the trees and the awareness that these trees existed for hundreds of years before you and will continue to exist for hundreds of years after you. This perceived immortality of nature forces you to appreciate the feeling of insignificance in its presence, creating a lasting impact that would be difficult to replicate.
"The redwoods, once seen, leave a mark or create a vision that stays with you always. No one has ever successfully painted or photographed a redwood tree. The feeling they produce is not transferable. From them comes silence and awe. It's not only their unbelievable stature, nor the color which seems to shift and vary under your eyes, no, they are not like any trees we know, they are ambassadors from another time." (Steinbeck, 2002)
This quote provides an interesting perspective on redwoods, which feels like an accurate representation of our experience walking through Muir Woods. The images above are merely examples from our trip, but it is impossible to capture the immensity and feeling that this forest emits through direct observation. Some of these tree are over 1500 years old, some have been visibly struck by lightning and survived severe fire damage, some are hollow, and some twist upwards fighting for sunlight at the canopy, hundreds of feet from the ground. Being in the presence of these trees felt quite surreal and made us gain a sense of perspective that is impossible to replicate without the vast presence of nature itself. Feeling small and insignificant is rarely seen as a positive in day to day situations, but in this case, it was. This was partly why we found it so inspiring, but also by absorbing the sensory elements such as the light, shadow, colour and sound of silence. This provided us with a physical viewpoint that encouraged us to consider how nature can create such powerful positive emotions in humans.
John Muir is a fascinating example of a historical figure, known for his sense of adventure and 'biocentric perspective of the world' (Wilkins, 1996). The more we research, the more we resonate with his ideologies and form questions grown from our curiosity. How you could begin to describe that feeling of awe in nature, and if any person stepped away from a materialistic, technology focused or conformist cultural lifestyle, would they also experience the same connections that Muir felt? He is quoted to have said about himself, 'I could have become a millionaire, but chose instead to become a tramp' (Why John Muir? | John Muir Way, n.d.) which we think is an interesting way of highlighting the negativity within materialistic society and how he chose to turn that down by using nature as his escape. What do you think?
We can all learn something from Muir's viewpoints, what inspires you the most? Let us know - we like inquisitive minds here at Wild City and would love to hear your thoughts!

Klopp says Sadio Mane is 'not a diver' after Guardiola comments
By Kyle BonnNov 4, 2019, 12:30 PM EST
Jurgen Klopp has done his best to respond to Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola's thinly veiled comments about Sadio Mane and his yellow card against Aston Villa. Mane was cautioned for diving early in Liverpool's comeback win over Aston Villa, and many have offered their opinions of the incident.
In his own post-match press obligations, Guardiola was asked about the upcoming game against Liverpool and how the Reds have picked up a few last-second results to help stave off Man City in the Premier League table. Without prompting, he offered a thinly veiled shot at the Reds attacker, not naming Mane particularly but clearly referring to his late goals that have earned Liverpool points.
"It has happened many times, what Liverpool have done, in the last few years, it's because [Mane] is a special talent," he told BBC Sport after the game. "Sometimes he's diving, sometimes he has this talent to score incredible goals in the last minute. He's a talent."
Klopp was asked to respond in his own post-match press conference, and while he was hesitant to look forward to this weekend with a Champions League match to focus on, he did offer a defense of his player.
"Do I like that he [Guardiola] says about one of my players?" Klopp said. "I'm not sure 100 percent that he spoke about Sadio or about us in general. I didn't hear Sadio's name. I don't know how he could have known about any incident in the game [Liverpool's win over Aston Villa] so quick after their [City] game. But I can say, and people from other clubs is always like this, Sadio is not a diver."
He went on to defend Mane in the situation, saying even if there was some embellishment of the situation, there was contact, and Mane was not creating something out of nothing. "There was a situation in the Aston Villa game where he got a contact and went down. Maybe it was not a penalty but there was contact. It's not like jumping over a leg and going like he hit you. There was contact. All the other penalties were penalties because he was [fouled] in that situation. I'm 100% sure if something would happen like this for Man City, they would want to have a penalty, because somebody kicked a player in the box and it's a penalty."
Other than those comments, Klopp would not be drawn into speaking about Manchester City. "I'm not really in a Man City mood in the moment to be honest. I don't think about it," Klopp said.
"I'm absolutely not in a mood to talk about Man City. I really want to talk today about Genk or us, or whatever – but not about the game on Sunday."

Q: Redirection not working in Wordpress? I am using below code for redirection in wordpress
$currentPage = explode('?', $_SERVER ['REQUEST_URI']);
  $current_page_url = $currentPage[0];
 if($current_page_url == '/e-commerce')
    {
        header("Location : http://www.mysite.com/complete-e-commerce-solution",true);
    }

I am using this code in header.php, i am redirecting to third party site.is that problem?

A: you need to follow the header call with an 'exit`. However, you might be better using wordpress's inbuilt wp_redirect function:
wp_redirect("Location : http://www.mysite.com/complete-e-commerce-solution");
exit;

Using wordpress functions allows plugins to filter the input and sanitises the input (not so applicable here, just good practice).

A: Any chance of getting /e-commerce from $currentPage[0]? The '/e-commerce' looks more like something that would be found at $currentPage[1].

SG Budget adds $215.5m more to co-invest in deep-tech startups
A bitcoin is placed in front of the flag of Singapore. Photo: Pixabay
By Kenneth Lim
The Singapore government will set aside an additional S$300 million to co-invest in deep-tech startups, Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Heng Swee Keat said on Tuesday.
Unveiling his budget plan for 2020, Heng also announced financing support, tax relief and wage subsidies as part of S$4 billion of measures to help businesses and workers cope with the impact of the COVID-19 novel coronavirus outbreak.
Heng said that deep-tech startups – particularly those in areas such as pharma, bio and medicine, advanced manufacturing and agri-food – require government support because they typically struggle to attract investors.
The deep tech funds will be invested through the Startup SG Equity programme, which is run by SEEDS Capital and SGInnovate. Heng expects the top-up to attract more than S$800 million of private funding over the next 10 years.
Deloitte Singapore tax partner Wong Chee Ming called the focus on deep tech an "encouraging" bid to "seize economic growth opportunities in the digital age".
Virus care package
The measures aimed at mitigating the impact of the viral outbreak were the most closely anticipated. Overall, Heng's proposed budget is estimated to run a fiscal deficit of S$10.9 billion, or 2.1 per cent of GDP. If the estimate is accurate, this would be the largest fiscal deficit in nominal dollars ever for Singapore since its independence in 1965.
Heng said "the sudden storm of a virus outbreak" forced the country to lower its official growth forecast for 2020 to between negative 0.5 per cent and positive 1.5 per cent, from the initial range of between positive 0.5 per cent and 2.5 per cent. This would represent a further decline from the 0.7 per cent GDP growth recorded in 2019, which was already the slowest rate of economic expansion for Singapore since the 2008 financial crisis.
RedDoorz chief executive and founder Amit Saberwal, whose startup operates budget hotels, welcomed the relief.
"Looking beyond the current crisis, the foreseeable economic climate in Singapore and across the region seems relatively subdued," Saberwal said in an e-mail.
"Whilst it's impossible to predict how long the outbreak will last, it's clear that both short-term immediate solutions and long-term initiatives will be vital in order to combat the decline in tourist visitors, and to build a more robust and vibrant ecosystem. Given the recent COVID-19 outbreak, it is reassuring to see specific initiatives for businesses in the travel and hospitality space."
Quest Ventures, through a spokesperson, said the virus measures will soothe the right pain points.
"No other country we know of in the world besides China are actively ensuring the long-term viability of businesses and the broader economy from both operating expediture and staffing angles," the spokesperson said.
JLL head of research and consultancy Tay Huey Ying welcomed property tax rebates for affected industries, and highlighted the importance of ensuring that the benefits trickle down.
"It is hoped that landlords who have yet to extend assistance will pass on savings from the tax rebates to their tenants," Tay said.
Key virus relief measures
The government will take up to 80 per cent of the risk of loans of up to S$1 million with interest rates capped at 5 per cent under a new temporary bridging loan programme for a year.
An existing working capital loan programme will also see the quantum cap doubled to S$600,000, with the government's share of risk raised to 80 per cent.
Companies will enjoy a 25 per cent tax rebate, capped at S$15,000 for income earned in 2019.
Companies may write down investments in plant and machinery and renovation and refurbishments at a faster rate for taxes on 2020 income.
The government will offset 8 per cent of wages, up to a monthly wage cap of S$3,600, for three months.
A scheme to co-fund wage increases will be enhanced to increase the amount of subsidies available.
Targeted help
Companies in the transportation, aviation, retail, food and beverage and tourism industries will benefit from sector-specific policies, including property tax rebates.
Environmental sustainability and climate change emerged as key priorities on the Singapore government's agenda.

Nobody is Normal – A fresh take on Mental Illness

You can't tell how someone feels by just looking at them, or what they share on social media. Our lives can appear perfect to the outside world, even though they aren't in reality.
When you hear the word "depressed," what is the first thing that comes to mind? Most of us would say that depressed people are unhappy, lonely, dislike themselves, and feel terrible for no apparent reason. They are completely right, and everything they say is correct, but I'm always hoping for someone to say that depression is a disease, because that is exactly what it is. It is a disease of unseen wounds that only you can sense, and people only notice your outward changes. In this case, people mask their feelings because we judge their acts or changes too quickly rather than questioning what's wrong.

According to the Director-General of the World Health Organization, mental illness is not a personal failure (WHO,2001). If there's a failure to be identified, it's about how we've dealt with people who have mental disabilities. Treatment is available, but almost two-thirds of people who have a mental disorder do not seek support from mental health specialists. Our society and community will also help those who are physically ill, but not one in four people who are mentally ill (Ginn,2012). Take, for example, how we openly discuss and respond when someone is affected by malaria. But what about anxiety or depression? When is it going to be a thing?
"Mental illness affects everyone no matter who you are"
People believe that mental illness affects only those on the edges of society, such as the homeless or drug users, and that some of the mental illnesses we are familiar with are influenced by the films we watch. This is the common misconception that all mentally ill people are tied down in straight jackets and locked away in asylums, which feeds the taboo of depression. This, on the contrary, happens to everybody, including celebrities and athletes. It has happened to someone reading this blog, and it could happen to you or someone you meet (Nadia, 2021).
In films, Chris Evans appears to be an all-action American hero, hanging his vibranium shield at Nazi spies or destroying robots, but behind his cask, he has struggled with anxiety and depression. As Captain America, he may not be afraid of much. Actor Chris Evans, like himself, has struggled with depression as a result of his crippling anxiety. This is an indication that even the biggest movie stars need mental health assistance. Serena Gomez is a well-known singer with a cheerful demeanour. Because of her low self-esteem and loneliness, she suffers from anxiety and panic attacks. Demi Lovato, for example, battled depression as a result of bullying and childhood abuse. This demonstrates how the people we consider to be the happiest because they have all can still be living in the dark. They are compelled to smile amid their personal challenges and forget about themselves while focusing on their public image.
People have to mask their mental illness because of society
Logo by silence the shame organization
Society is also grappling with the idea that depression is a disorder, not a choice. People with depression will often attempt to fool us into thinking they are happy, putting on a massive, heavy mask for the duration of their lives so that no one notices their mental health is in shambles(Caudle, 2018). All of this is the fear of admitting and speaking out about your mental health to people who don't get it. According to World Health Organisation (Kolappa, 2013), many people mistakenly assume that people who have mental illness are aggressive and threatening, when in fact, they are more likely to be attacked or injure themselves than to harm others. For fear of being shamed or misunderstood by society, people conceal their mental illness and suffer in silence.
Society should not force people to reject their disease simply because they are unaware of it. It is your well-being that is at stake, and you are the one who is suffering. Let's assume your leg is broken and you are in excruciating pain. It hurts so badly that you are on the verge of passing out. In this case, you would immediately rush to the hospital but don't seek treatment when you are mentally disrupted. So, why would you want to live with a wounded soul if you can't walk on your broken leg? It's past time for us to understand the important distinction between physical and mental health since there is no life without mental health.
"Why are we so quick to confess that we can only heal our bodies but not our souls? Why do we consider mental illness to be a negative thing, something to be ashamed of?"
Many of us know someone who had a severe mental illness at some stage in their lives. Given their commonality, these types of events are often viewed as rare and even shameful.
Mental health is a taboo topic, but statistics show that one out of every seven people (11-18%) in the world suffers from one or more mental or substance-abusing disorders. In 2017, nearly one billion people around the world were affected by one. And, despite the fact that depression is the leading cause of suicide, it doesn't get much attention.
What happens when it is left untreated?
ANDREYPOPOV / GETTY IMAGES
According to the World Health Organization, approximately 800,000 people commit suicide each year, or once every 40 seconds (WHO, 2019). Each suicide attempt is expected to result in 25 attempts. More than 90% of people who die by suicide or attempt suicide have a mental disorder, with depression being the most common. Suicide tends to be a realistic choice for dealing with the issues that occur when you are depressed. Suicide is seen as a cure for mental distress and hopelessness in 100 per cent of situations. You may argue that suicide is not a viable choice. However, this is due to the fact that depression is so common. When you are depressed, it can seem rational to commit suicide to end your misery.
Even though it is seen as a way to relieve painful feelings and thoughts, suicide is not a cure for mental illnesses (Leary, 2018). It is a desperate act in which misery is alleviated, but it should be understood that it is just a permanent solution to a short-term issue. Are people conceited when it comes to cancer or heart disease? Obviously not. Your thought, mood, and judgment can all be influenced by a psychiatric mental disorder. Suicide is a symptom of an underlying disorder, so people need to be treated before developing suicidal thoughts.
Address mental illness before it's too late
If someone commits the murder, it makes the headlines. When someone dies by suicide, there is nothing; it's silence. Yet, the facts are suicide occurs far more often and is much more likely to affect our families and our society. They are even some countries where suicide is largely decriminalized. Let us acknowledge that the majority of people who attempt suicide do so because they do not want to die. (Leary, 2018).
They just want relief from the pain and people shouldn't tell them the main reason they shouldn't kill themselves but rather ask what causes the pain. Suicidal people deserve love and support, not guilty trips. Let's start by looking at mental illness for what it truly is. It's an illness like any other, but it requires special treatment. Any person suffering from a mental disorder is entitled to care, assistance, medication, and support.
"What mental health needs are more sunlight, more candour, and more unashamed conversation."
Nobody is normal; we all have personal problems that inflict damage on our brains and damage us emotionally. Let us show compassion for those who are struggling and give them a reason to live tomorrow. We do not presume that people are happy simply because they smile; unhappy people do this often. They conceal their emotions in order to avoid being criticized and judged.
We need to change the culture of this topic and make it ok to speak about mental health and suicide.

From the onset, I can tell that the Mental Health topic is a very sensitive environment to approach, and as you have mentioned, the fact that it is not given as much attention as necessary- it is instead swept under the carpet. This unfortunately true, and I found it as the perfect comparison to how excruciating pain from a broken leg should be seen as how symbolic Mental illness also is.
Mental Health does require the necessary attention, for the benefit of people who are both affected and infected by the cases, that is to say, the individuals, families, and communities.
This calls for as much attention as possible, letting people know of what Mental Health really is, and what can be done to help.
This is a really insightful session, Fabiola- well done!

Yesterday, I finally buckled down to tackle a few things on my To-Do list. First off, I called my credit card company about that late fee and finance charge on the day-late payment last month. Sure enough, I asked them to refund the fees and they did! The customer service agent I spoke to was a little scoldy about it, saying that they have to charge those fees even for payments that are only one day late and regardless of the customer's record, but she didn't hesitate at all in saying yes to the refund. So that is $66.97 back in my pocket!
I also spoke to an insurance agent to get a quote for my homeowner's insurance for the condo. I need to get a couple bits of information before I can be 100% sure of the pricing, and I plan to get a couple more quotes from other companies, but the good news is that it looks like the insurance will cost way less than I had been thinking it might. I had been budgeting $75 a month but it will probably end up being half that.
Now I just need to get this closing done and move into my new home so I can start spending all this money I'm saving elsewhere. At a minimum, I'll need curtains or blinds, a bed frame, and a chair to sit in when I'm having cocktails out on my terrace.
The construction is almost finished but I still don't have a closing date-- and now it looks like my current landlord wants me out by August 1, so things had better happen fast!
Wonderful news! I know how excited you must be. I remember the balancing act with the builder and my landlord. It was no fun but it all worked out. Good luck to you!
As Alberto was threatening us in Florida this week, various talking heads were reminding us what to do to get ready, and one mentioned that we should read our insurance policies so that we know what we are and aren't covered for. The "head" said that not all policies are the same.
So I pass that on to you as you shop for insurance.


The report stresses this assertion is demonstrated in at least three prior state studies including one issued in January 2012 by a special task force convened by Gov. Chris Gregoire. State projections show gas tax revenues per mile for Washington will continue to erode sharply as average miles per gallon continue to grow, resulting in $5 billion less than originally projected to the state from that source between 2007 and 2023.
The basis for finding the mileage tax concept feasible, the report says, includes meeting a number of criteria. Key among these are that it is convenient, flexible, implementable, fair, ensures privacy, produces stable and sustainable revenues, and can recognize and charge out-of-state travellers on Washington's roads.
Remember that passenger cars are different than trucks, and offer simple efficient choices for technology and payment streams.
The primary goal of the mileage tax would be to develop a new and reliable revenue source, but it would need to be indexed to inflation, according to the report. Other objectives could include reducing energy usage and greenhouse gas emissions, reducing driving, and congestion. Charges could be applied in a variety of ways. Rates could vary by vehicle type, time of day, engine run time, or miles traveled as calculated by either an odometer, or on board devices. Rates could be further calibrated by real-time congestion levels and "environmental impacts of driving" which could include not only vehicle type but also passenger load. Pilot tests would another $1 million to $5 million to the estimated go-forward baseline tab of $3.5 million.
A variety of technologies exist which could facilitate the vehicle mileage tax in Washington. Here is a related page from the report.
I will be suggesting that we put billboards at our (Iowa) state borders requesting all visitors from Washington State to please register at the nearest court house to pay for their anticipated mileage usage of the roads here.
It would be fair to seek compensation for Iowans using the roads in Washington.
Furthermore, our Des Moines is better.


Home › Necklaces › Very long amethyst necklace. 34"/86cm. Faceted. Fine & sterling silver 925.
This is a very long amethyst and silver necklace.
The stones are natural amethyst, with a clear deep purple colour. They have been faceted to catch the light beautifully. Please note that these are natural stones, not synthetic, so there will always be some some small imperfections and irregularities in them.
In between the stones are extremely pure fine silver beads (98%). I have closed the ends of the necklace with 2 tiny sterling silver beads.
The silver sections of the necklace look delicate, but in fact the whole necklace is very strong. Inside the silver beads is special jewellery metal wire, which drapes really well while being extremely strong.
The necklace is 34" ( 86cm) long.


The three Scottish soldiers' murders was an incident that took place in Northern Ireland during The Troubles. It happened on 10 March 1971, when the Provisional Irish Republican Army shot dead three unarmed British Army soldiers of the 1st Battalion, Royal Highland Fusiliers. Two of the three soldiers were teenage brothers; all three were from Scotland. They were murdered off-duty and in civilian clothes, having been lured from a city-centre bar in Belfast, driven to a remote location and shot whilst relieving themselves by the roadside. Three British soldiers had been killed prior to this event; all had been on duty and killed during rioting.
The deaths led to a crisis for the government of Northern Ireland with calls for increased security measures. Ian Paisley demanded the Stormont Government's resignation, saying "We can no longer tolerate your weakness. You must go before the whole land is deluged with the blood of innocent men and women." On 12 March, 4,000 shipyard workers took to the streets of Belfast to demand internment. The Northern Ireland Prime Minister James Chichester-Clark flew to London to request more troops, and when the numbers were not what he wanted, he resigned. On 23 March 1971, Brian Faulkner was elected Ulster Unionist Party leader and was appointed Prime Minister the same day.
No one has been convicted of the killings. The Daily Mirror reported in November 2007 that three Provisional IRA men were responsible for the deaths: Martin Meehan (died 2007)- Meehan was questioned over the killings but was never charged; Patrick McAdorey- McAdorey was shot and killed in August 1971 during a gun battle in the Ardoyne area of Belfast. He was also suspected of the fatal shooting, hours before his own death, of Private Malcolm Hatton of the Green Howards. and a third unnamed man. The case of the three soldiers is one of those being re-examined by the Police Service of Northern Ireland's Historical Enquiries Team.
The memorial at White Brae, Ligoniel, that marks the place of the killings has been vandalised several times since 2011.

Somalia was without a formal parliament for more than two decades after the overthrow of President Siad Barre in 1991.
Years of anarchy followed the downfall of President Barre, and it was not until 2012, when a new internationally-backed government was installed, that the country began to enjoy a measure of stability once more.
The decades of fighting between rival warlords meant that the country was ill-equipped to deal with natural disasters such as drought, and around half a million people died in the Somali famines of 1992 and 2010-12.
