Kick-Drum Therapy: Hard Music as My Anxiety Medicine
If I was normal, I wouldn't be where I am today.
In my last blog posting on anxiety—Jam Session: Understanding My Anxiety Through Basketball—I reflected on earlier stages of my life and how I stumbled upon coping strategies for my anxiety before I really understood what I was going through. In that piece the coping mechanism I reflected on was basketball, a sport which has been a huge part of my life since I was ten years old. In this blog I explore music as a powerful force in helping me not only to cope with my anxiety but also unlock some of the rarely-discussed superpowers that come with anxiety.
Generally I like my music with a hard edge, spanning genres from hip hop through to heavy metal, hardcore punk, and sections of the electronic dance music spectrum such as hard house, drum n bass and psy-trance. I remember trying to articulate my musical tastes to my Dad with the explanation that "I like sounds that are layered and immense." Over the years I have often wondered why I am attracted to harder and more underground musical genres, but it is only very recently that I have come to an answer.
An article in The Conversation last year by University of Queensland psychology academics Genevieve Dingle and Leah Sharman on "problem music" such as rap and heavy metal piqued my attention…
"many problem music users engage in music listening to self-regulate their emotions and improve emotional wellbeing."
I realised immediately that this is exactly what I have been doing since I was ten years old, when a friend lent me a cassette tape of Public Enemy's classic rap album Fear of a Black Planet. Because I am wired all the time with anxiety I find hard and abrasive music calming. Take Strapping Young Lad's intense track "All Hail the New Flesh"…if ever there was a song that accurately portrayed what it feels like inside to struggle with depression and anxiety, this is it. I have always found listening to heavy, fast, immense musical styles energising and a palliative for how exhausting the anxiety burden can be to live with on a day-to-day basis. Hard music provides a focal point for my sensory awareness, emotions and internal monologue. It was the mindfulness technique I discovered before I knew what mindfulness was.

I also realised that my transitions to liking new musical genres have tended to happen at times in my life when my emotional needs changed. For example, I discovered hip hop when I was in year six and it became the soundtrack for my life till I was about fifteen. Although my life as a middle class kid from an Australian country town had little in common with the streets of New York and Los Angeles, there was something about the outsider perspective and brazen defiance of rap music and Afro-American culture (particularly in the late-1980s and early-1990s before hip hop became mainstream) that resonated with how I was feeling about myself at the time. I started getting into heavy metal in late high school, the aggressiveness and power of metal matching a stage in my life journey where I began to come out of my shell more and push against the boundaries of my anxiety cage. My love for hardcore punk came to life when I started university study and began expanding my intellect. My tastes transitioned to electronic dance music in my early twenties when I needed a more positive and uplifting form of musical intensity as the soundtrack to my life.
In my darkest moments of self-doubt, frustration and depression, the music was there to pick me up and keep me going. Hard music helped me to feel powerful at those times in my life when I felt most powerless. The many people who have rubbished my musical tastes over the years—heavy musical styles tend not to be widely popular—did not realise the wound to my soul they were causing in doing so. Conversely, sharing my favourite songs with other people is one of the most powerful gifts I can give, because it is a gift that comes from the very fibre of my being.

Unlocking My Anxiety Superpowers with Hard Music
In Jam Sesssion: Understanding My Anxiety Through Basketball, I described my baseline psychological state in the following terms…
"a heightened level of situational awareness, a couple of rungs below fight-or-flight but well above what would be considered a normal level of arousal. Because of my heightened baseline anxiety level, I have always felt uneasy in social situations because I am simultaneously intensely tuned in to everything going on around me and processing that sensory information within the rich high-resolution inner world of introvert."
Interacting with the world in this way is frustrating, exhausting and often depressing, however, I have come to appreciate that it does come with certain advantages…what I call anxiety superpowers. Over time, my love for hard music has helped me to gradually unlock these anxiety superpowers. Indeed I could not have achieved my professional successes without them!
So what are they, and how did hard music help me to unlock them?
Mindful Observation
When you experience every living moment at a heightened level of situational awareness, you come to see the world around you with a higher level of resolution than others. My initial reflex was to attempt to switch off and tune out, to reduce the external stimulation I was exposed to. Gradually, however, I realised that this heightened situational awareness could help me to understand the complexity of my social environment. Hip hop music, in particular, helped me to unlock my powers of mindful observation and appreciate the positives as well as the negatives of experiencing life in high resolution.
It was through listening to hip hop artists like Public Enemy, KRS One and NWA, and not at school, where I first learned about race and class politics. Take NWA's famous 1988 track "Fuck the Police" for example; most of my peers liked NWA for the swearing, but even as a kid I recognised something compelling in the lyrical content of the song, a direct and uncompromising critique of the conduct of the Los Angeles Police Department in poor and predominantly Afro-American enclaves of south central Los Angeles during the late-1980s. Decades before the "white wash" controversy at the 2016 Academy Awards, Public Enemy highlighted the issue of white cultural hegemony in the American movie industry in their track "Burn Hollywood Burn." Through this music I became aware of racial prejudice and economic inequality in Australia and over time learned how to observe patterns of power and injustice in the society around me.
The hardcore punk scene in particular was a haven for edge-dwellers and it was here that I learned about Australian class politics and had my first exposure to LGBTQI issues. The song "Anti-Homophobe" by Brutal Truth is one of the fastest, hardest tracks I had ever heard and led me to question the homophobic tendencies of the hyper-masculine culture of the town I grew up in.
Critical and Analytical Thinking
Prior to the beginning of my lectures for my second-year Global Environmental Politics class I play a hip hop song from the late-1980s / early-1990s, a period which is often referred to as the "golden age of rap." From the mid-1990s hip hop became a mainstream musical genre and increasingly captive to an inauthentic glamourisation of wealth, in addition to the violence, homophobia and misogyny that punctuated the genre. Over time I have come to critically reflect on these negative themes in hip hop, what those themes tell us about the social context from which the music emerges, and what we can do to address the underlying race, class and gender problems that the music reflects.
I use the "golden age of rap" as an analogy for the first golden age of environmental politics in the late 1980s / early 1990s, when governments appeared poised to take serious action to address global environmental degradation. Huge strides were made in environmental governance during this period, including the Montreal Protocol on Substances That Deplete the Ozone Layer and the establishment of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. This period culminated in the Rio Earth Summit in 1992 and the signing of the Rio Conventions: the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, UN Convention on Biological Diversity, and UN Convention to Combat Desertification. Yet just as hip hop was subverted and diluted as it became more mainstream through the mid-1990s, so too was global environmental governance as it became clear that the structural causes of environmental degradation would not be easily overcome ("changing light bulbs" is not enough), especially in light of the rear guard action by high-polluting industries against greater regulatory control on environmental grounds. I frame the hip hop analogy as an invitation to students to critically analyse the shortcomings of international environmental governance and the global environmental movement to help them appreciate the complexity of the environmental crisis, as well as to creatively explore new ways of addressing this problem.
Critically evaluating the structures of power that shape the menu of life choices open to individuals is an important skill, particularly at a time of increasing socio-economic change. Metal tracks like Napalm Death's Instinct for Survival, Sepultura's Refuse/Resist and Corporation Pull-in by Terrorizer were influential in helping me to cultivate my critical and analytical thinking abilities. As I got into the Aussie hardcore punk scene and its associate 'zine culture I started to think global and head-bang local. The Spiral Objective label and zine were a key conduit in exposing me to bands like Price of Silence and Fallout with lyrical themes devoted to social justice issues.
The day I got "metal" at work…not the ticket to a successful career in the public service.
This critical mind emerged from not wanting to accept that feeling lousy was the best it could get for me. It fuelled and urge to look for answers and that search for answers gave my life meaning. Hard music was the vehicle through which I combined the intellectual and emotional aspects of that search for meaning. The potent combination of the raw critical and analytical thinking powers derived from my love of this music with the rigour of university study in politics and international relations evolved into the research skills I draw on as an academic.
In permaculture, practitioners learn to appreciate the edge and value the marginal in agricultural systems, because the interface between things is a highly productive space where the most creative and exiting developments take place. This is true of social systems as well and music is no exception. Every mainstream genre of music was born as a creative new underground style that presented something new and different to the dominant styles of the time.
As an anxiety sufferer I have always felt awkward around other people and considered myself as an edge-dweller. Perhaps that is one of the reasons why non-mainstream harder styles of music have always appealed to me. Existing on the edge can be lonely, but with that loneliness comes an ability to evaluate one's reality in different ways. Edge-dwellers tend not to be so invested in dominant systems of power and accepted ways of doing things, and thus can muster a greater capacity to envision different realities and creative new modes of practice.
I remember listening to the album "Music for the Jilted Generation" by The Prodigy during my heavy metal phase and being blown away by the sci-fi inspired soundscapes that this music generated in my mind. This was my first exposure to electronic dance music, which sowed the seeds of my ability to envision alternative visions of reality. As my love for electronic dance music evolved, so too did my love for dancing and the creative emotional outlet that the kinetic experience of unconstrained full-body movement provided. There is nothing quite like stomping out under the stars at an outdoor dance party for such emotional release.

More recently I have acquired a love for psy-trance, a genre of electronic dance music which evolved from 1970s psychedelic rock. The spiritual, cosmic and Earth connection themes of this genre resonated strongly with me at a time in my life where I was looking for ways of practicing sustainable living. It is no coincidence that my relationship with psy-trance emerged at the same time as began training in permaculture, which is the sustainable living methodology I have adopted to make a constructive contribution to food security, social justice and environmental regeneration in my community.
Reflecting on Hard Music as My Anxiety Medicine
This blog posting was inspired by an exercise I conducted on Facebook last year, where for eighty-three consecutive days I shared a song that blew me away the first time I heard it. These were not necessarily my favourite songs or the best songs, but songs which had an immediate profound impact on me. I shared songs in the chronological order in which I discovered them, beginning with Do Do Do, De Da Da Da by The Police (my Dad assures me this blew my mind when I was 18 months old). It was fun to share those musical memories, have others share their own favourite tracks and re-connect with old friends who were with me enjoying (or hating!) those tunes at the time. More importantly, it was through the process of sharing these songs that I started becoming more comfortable with sharing some of my experiences with anxiety and depression. I could not have come out publicly about my anxiety experiences if I had not warmed up to it through sharing these songs with my Facebook friends.
Along with basketball, my love affair with hard music has been my primary mechanism for coping with anxiety and depression. It has also blossomed into so much more, fueling my emotional and intellectual development through the realisation of my anxiety superpowers, leading me inexorably to where I am today. It is critical as an anxiety sufferer to reflect on all of the successes that I have achieved as a result of my anxiety superpowers, as well as the negatives that come with the anxiety burden. Anxiety and its associated superpowers are two sides of the same coin. It is only now, as I have started to own my experience with anxiety, that I have come to appreciate the silver lining in my anxiety cloud.
So to all the hip hop lovers, metal heads, ravers and other edge-dwellers out there, throw your hands in the air and scream "I'm not normal!" with pride!

Really interesting piece Ben. Heavy layered, 'immense' music has the opposite effect on my own anxiety sending me instead into sensory overwhelm, but I like how you describe your experience. The exhaustion you describe while living with the cycles of anxiety is so familiar. I understand and hear you. Thanks for sharing. Sara 🙂
Dr Benjamin Habib says:
Thanks Sara. You make a good point, my experiences should not be considered as generalizable for all anxiety suffers. As you've pointed out, some of it people may relate to and some not.

Comments and insights on the name Kelsey
I am a Kelsey. I will echo many of the thoughts below. 1. This name peaked in popularity for primarily white girls in USA in the late 80s and early 90s. It is more gender- neutral than "Lacey" and similar feminine names but is no longer considered androgynous. 2. It is usually mis-heard as Kelly, Chelsea, Casey, or Lindsay. It is often misspelled. 3. It is usually associated with Kelsey Grammar by those middle age and above. 4. The name has an -ey ending that can sound childish or informal. There are no good nicknames as it already sounds like one. This reduces flexibility for the person as they grow. 5. Personally, I have a neutral opinion of my name and would like it more had it not been popular for those younger than me. This somewhat undermines my experience professionally. These things can not be anticipated. For a child born now the name might be perceived as more mature than their age or simply out of fashion.
Hi! My cousin's name is Kelsey. She is Irish-German. She is very smart and reads a lot of books...travels a lot and is quite the feminist-type. She is really quirky and opinionated too. I love the name!
My name is Robin, and the year I was born, was the most popular year for that name, and it was about the 25th most popular name. (I say about because different sources vary by a couple points.) My daughter's name is Kelsey, and the year SHE was born, 1992, was also the year that name peaked, and was ALSO about the 25th most popular name! My name is definitely going to be one of those generational names - the book "Beyond Jennifer and Jason" (that was the first edition, now there is a second one with different names) described Robin as, among other things, a "ranch house and bbq" baby boomer's kid name. Which is pretty much right. Kelsey is an androgynous executive name, as well as being perceived as pretty, and overall positive impressions. Both she and I found that our names, being where they were on the list, made us definitely part of our class, not weird, fitting right in, but not so common that there was one or two of us in every class. Growing up I ran across a couple other Robins. She ran across a couple other Kelseys. Overall, I think having a name that is popular but not TOO popular, is more positive than it is negative.
I was young in the 50's, before Kelsey became a popular girl's name. I had a friend whose last name was Kelsey. I still cannot think of Kelsey as a girl's name, only a surname.
Personal experiences with the name Kelsey
I seem to have lived all my life near someone named Kelsey. My next door neighbor since I was six was named Kelsey, and she was about my age. I'm in college now and my roommate's name is Kelsey. They are both pretty intense, in their own ways. My mom likes to tell this story about Neighbor Kelsey:
When Kelsey and I were in about 2nd or 3rd grade, Kelsey said to my mother in a bright cheery voice, "I just love giving oral reports!"
My mom, an elementary school teacher, was astounded, and in high school Kelsey went on to win best high school journalist in the state.
My name is Kelsey, and I really dislike it. One of the reasons my parents chose it is because it wasn't a very popular name before I was born, but unfortunately it boomed in popularity right around my birth year. I only met a few other girls named Kelsey during my school years, but now that I'm in college I can't throw a rock without hitting another one. I even spent three years in college with one who had my same last name, and we've received mail, email, job offers, ballots, etc. intended for the other one on several occasions. My name is commonly misheard as Chelsea and Kelly, and I have a commonly misheard last name as well, so it isn't unusual for my name to be completely mistaken. Although it has a feminine diminutive ending, I'm well aware that my name has been a place name, surname, and male name throughout history. I don't see my name as particularly feminine, though it doesn't feel truly androgynous given that its most recent popularity boom in America was as a female name. I dislike the harsh sound of the K, and given that K is not a common letter/sound in many alphabets, it is a difficult name to translate, recognize, or pronounce for non-native English speakers/non-English speakers and that can make international relations difficult. I feel like my name limits me because it is trendy, of ambiguous gender, clearly western, and in my experience given exclusively to Caucasians. Of the other Kelseys I have asked, there isn't one of us who really likes her name. If you're thinking about naming your daughter Kelsey, I urge you to pick something else.
My name is Kelsey, and I think it's a perfectly fine name. Despite the fact that Kelsey was quite popular when I was born, I can't say I've run into more than a handful of Kelseys. There have been many people over the years who've pronounced my name Chelsea or Kelly, but that's just carelessness. Teachers who did that in school were the same kind that read Gabriel as Gabrielle and Michaela as Michelle. (Ones that just aren't paying attention.) Contrary to the other Kelsey, the only two other Kelseys I went to school with were both black. So I don't see it as strictly caucasian. I have a commonly butchered last name, but that's never bothered me either. I've never felt limited by my name. But that's just my two cents.
My younger sister's name is Kelsey. She was born in '99. My best friend's name is also Kelsey. She was born in '94. Other than them I've only met one other Kelsey, but she does not go by Kelsey, she goes by Kelso. Both my sister and my best friend were named after the actor Kelsey Grammar, though they are both girls. My family always nicknamed my sister Kels, buy my friend's family always nicknamed her Kel.
I know a family with a three yr old named Kelsey, her one yr old sister is named Isabelle (Bella) and her five yr old brother is Owen.

Q: Where are the files stored on cloudhub Per my understanding, cloudhub is a PaaS service and we can deploy applications directly to Cloudhub. I have below questions

*

*Can we create intermediate files on cloudhub. If yes, how can we define the path ?

*When we use SFTP to pull file from particular location, what should be the path on cloudhub server for processing

*Can we do SSH on cloudhub server

*If we need to externalize cron timings of scheduler ,(via config etc to avoid code change) , what is the best practice for setting cron expression.

All above questions are related to Cloudhub deployment model.
Thanks in advance

A: *

*The scheduler already gets externalized in the platform when you deploy to CloudHub.

*You can technically store the files in /temp, but don't expect them to persist. That would be an "ephemeral" file system.

*You can not SSH into the CloudHub server.

*Rather than downloading the entire SFTP file and saving it, and then working on it, I would suggest streaming it if possible. You can process JSON/XML/CSV files as a stream, and even use deferred DataWeave with them enabling end-to-end streaming.

It is a late Russian icon, and if you are a long-time reader here, you will recognize the subject as Svyatuiy Nikolai Chudotvorets — "Holy Nicholas the Wonderworker — that is, St. Nicholas of Myra, who was believed to be a miracle worker. Nicholas was extremely popular in Russia, and countless icons of this type were painted. In this example we see the usual elements — the circle enclosing Jesus at left, giving Nicholas his Gospel book, and that of Mary at right, bestowing the bishop's stole (omophorion) on Nicholas.
Now one may ask, why that text, given that it has no obvious connection to Nicholas. The answer is that in the liturgy for the Feast of St. Nicholas in the Russian Orthodox Church, the Gospel reading generally used for that day is Luke 6:17-23.
As you can see, it shows Nicholas seated on a throne, and is "with the life," that is, with scenes from his legend.
We see the usual images of Jesus at left, presenting Nicholas with the Gospels, and Mary at right, giving him his bishop's stole (omophorion).
Ἐγώ εἰμι ἡ θύρα· δι' ἐμοῦ ἐάν τις εἰσέλθῃ, σωθήσεται, καὶ εἰσελεύσεται καὶ ἐξελεύσεται, καὶ νομὴν εὑρήσει.
Ego eimi he thura: di emou ean tis eiselthe, sothesetai, kai eiseleusetai kai exeleusetai, kai nomen euresei.
Now we come to a group of scenes from what is generally considered to be the oldest part of the St. Nicholas legends: the tale of the three byzantine generals.
It is said that Emperor Constantine sent three army generals to subdue an uprising in Phrygia. They sailed from Constantinople to Andriake, which was the seaport for the town of Myra, where Nicholas was bishop. Their names were Nepotianus, Ursus, and Eupoleonis.
Some of the soldiers from the army went to buy food while the ships were docked. Unfortunately, some looting took place by men pretending to be soldiers from the ships — and so the rioting crowd blamed the innocent soldiers from the ships for the thefts.
Nicholas, in Myra, heard about the riots at the port and went to Andriake to try to calm things down. He talked with the army officers, and while they were in discussion, report came to Nicholas that the three innocent sailors were about to be executed for the looting. Nicholas hurried to the place, and found the three men kneeling with hands bound, about to be beheaded by sword. Nicholas grabbed the sword from the executioner, threw it down, released the men, and led them away.
Nicholas berated and threatened the official who had unjustly condemned the men, but pardoned him after the three generals asked for mercy on his behalf. Then the generals sailed off to Phrygia with their army, where they subdued the uprising, then returned to Constantinople, where they were greatly feted and honored.
The interesting thing is that having seen the first icon, you should now be able not only to read the inscription on the Gospel book in this second icon, you should also be able to identify every border image. Test yourself.
You will notice that it abbreviates the word και ("and") — and leaves out a couple of words at the end.
You probably noticed that this second icon omits the border scene of the child Nicholas taken to be educated.
Today we will take a look at another Marian icon.
Беседа — Beseda — is Russian for "talk" or "conversation. So you can guess what the title of today's icon means. It is called the Besednaya (Беседная) icon. So of course it means the "Conversation" icon, or we could call it the "Conversational" icon of Mary.
Though time has made it a bit difficult to distinguish, the icon depicts Mary sitting on a log, with the Sexton (Ponomar) Iuruish kneeling before her, and St. Nicholas (Nikolai) of Myra standing by, dressed in his bishop's robes.
Now it is obvious from this brief account that one cannot discuss the Besednaya type without some mention of the "Tikhvin" icon, because in their origin stories, the two are connected.
We can see that even the inscriptions are reversed. But if one were to take such a pattern and make little needle holes all along its outlines, then one could use it as a stencil. When placed over the blank surface of an icon panel, one could then pounce charcoal dust through the holes and scratch the stenciled image so produced into the gesso of the panel, making a permanent outline of the image to be followed in painting the new icon.
The essential Besednaya type takes up a good part of the right side of this pattern, but there are also other related images shown at the top and at the left side. To understand those we now have to turn to the origin story of the "Tikhvin" icon.
We can tell its identity not only from its form, but also from its inscription, which reads Izobrazheniya Obraza Presvyatuiya Bogoroditsui Tikhvinskiya — "Representation of the Image of the Most Holy Mother of God of Tikhvin" Mary has the usual three stars on shoulders and forehead, representing virginity before, during, and after the birth of Jesus.
The "Tikhvin" image is one of the most prominent of the so-called "miracle-working" icons of Mary. It's origin story (remember that these are just stories for the most part, not reliable history) relates that it was originally brought from Jerusalem to Constantinople by the Empress Eudocia (Evdokiya) in the 5th century. It was said to have then been kept in the Church of the Vlakhernae, and during the Iconoclastic controversy was hidden away in the Resurrection Monastery. But some 70 years before the fall of Constantinople, the icon is said to have disappeared.
It went out of their sight, and later it appeared some 30 versts from the lake (a verst is the old Russian mile, which was equivalent to 0.6629 miles or 1.0668 kilometers). There the icon was placed in a chapel and supposedly performed miraculous healings, but then it left again. It made more stops on its journey, worked more miracles, but continued to move on. Eventually the icon decided to settle in a swampy place near the Tikhvinka River, and when it appeared there, a church was built to house it. But being made of wood, the church burnt three times, though the icon was said to have been undamaged. Great Prince Vasiliy Ivanovich (1505-1533) then ordered that a stone church be built. It was nearly completed when the arches collapsed on 20 workers. But when the stones were cleared, all 20 were said to have been found alive. Ivan the Terrible visited the icon, and had a monastery built there.
There is much more to the story of the "Tikhvin" icon, but that is enough for our purposes today.
Now back to the tale of the Sexton Iuruish. When it was time to consecrate the church at Tikhvin where the icon was kept, and to install the cross on the dome, Iuruish was sent out to the people in the surrounding area to announce the event so that they might be present. On his way back, some three versts from the church, he saw Mary sitting on a pine log, and St. Nicholas standing there with her.
Mary told Iuruish to inform the authorities that they were not to install an iron cross on the dome of the church, because her son Jesus was not crucified on an iron cross, but on one of wood.
Having seen the results of not believing Iuruish, the church authorities decided to install a wooden cross on top of the church.
Later a chapel was also built on the site of the appearance of Mary and Nicholas to Iuruish, and from the log on which she sat, a cross was made for it. In 1515 a monastery was established there called the "Nicholas-Conversation" (Никольско-Беседный–Nikol'sko-Besednuiy) Monastery.
If you look at top center of the pattern for the expanded Besednaya icon, you will see it has a small image of the "Tikhvin" icon.
The Besednaya type is easy to recognize, with Mary sitting on a log or bent tree, usually with flourishing branches coming out of it, or on what appears like a stump with fantasy foliage loaded with fruits or flowers coming out of it, as in the pattern example shown above.
One of the easiest icon saints to recognize is Saint Nicholas, and he is also — aside from icons of Mary and those of Jesus — perhaps the most commonly-found saint in icons. Nicholas was originally the Bishop of Myra, in Asia minor, in the 4th century. That is all that is known about him.
However, stories and legends gathered about him and his relics over the years, and his reputation grew until it was said in Old Russia that when God grew too old and died, Saint Nicholas would take his place. Nicholas was also the "angel day" saint of the ill-fated Tsar Nicholas II. The "Angel Day" was the day on which a Russian Orthodox Christian celebrated the saint for whom he or she was named, and for Nicholas, that day was December 6th, the "Feast Day" of St. Nicholas of Myra. So one may find icons of St. Nicholas as well as of the other "name saints" of the last Russian Imperial Family.
In Russia, St. Nicholas has none of the "St. Nick/Santa Claus" associations that he acquired in the Americas through a series of interesting transformations extending from the immigrant Dutch celebration of St. Nicholas Eve to the works of Clement Moore ("The Night Before Christmas") and the cartoonist Thomas Nast, who gave "Santa Claus" his essential American image.
Above is a well-painted image of St. Nicholas "with the life," that is, with scenes from his life and legend, arranged in little boxes all around the border of the central image. That central image shows Nicholas in the center. To the left, Jesus in a circle offers him the book of the Gospels, and to the right, Mary restores his bishop's stole, the ornamental long band with crosses about his neck and hanging down in front. These images of Jesus and Mary illustrate the legend that Nicholas, at the 1st Ecumenical Council, slapped the face of his opponent Arius, and was imprisoned. Jesus and Mary appeared to him in prison, Jesus giving him the Gospel book, and Mary restoring to him his omophorion, symbol of his office as bishop.
Nicholas, in this example, holds his right hand up in blessing, using the "two-fingered" blessing position characteristic of Old Believers and their icons. In his left hand he holds the book of the Gospels open to his usual text, a version of Luke 6:17: "At that time Jesus stood on the plain, and a multitude of his disciples … " (VO VREMA ONO STA IISUS NA MYESTYE RAVNYE, I NAROD UCHENIK EGO....) — the introduction to the so-called "Sermon on the Plain" rather than the Sermon on the Mount. It (Luke 6:17-23) is the usual Gospel reading for the day of his commemoration.
The title of this type originated in the belief that Nicholas was the miraculous defender of the city of Mozhaisk from the invading Tartars. He holds a sword in one hand, and in the other a church, sometimes depicted as a miniature city. Yet another Nicholas type is "Nicholas of Zaraisk," in which he stands with arms outstretched, blessing with one hand and holding the Gospels in the other. You might also encounter another type depicting a shoulder-length version of Nicholas in which his face has a severe expression and does not face the viewer directly, as Nicholas always does in his other types. Though often shown bareheaded, Nicholas is sometimes depicted wearing the "crown" of a bishop. In Greek icons, Nicholas is identified by his appearance and by inscription, "HO HAGIOS NIKOLAOS" — "The Holy/Saint Nicholas" The St. Nicholas of Eastern Orthodoxy was very popular because of the belief that he could work miracles. Aside from that, Nicholas was particularly known as the patron saint and protector of sailors.


Apollo's first health tip article focused on physiological awareness – putting your body in the correct positions to avoid possible associated health risks with poor work posture. This week we are focusing on substituting consumables with healthier options.
Many people drink soda throughout the day whether for the taste, caffeine, or both. However most sodas contain at least 12 grams of sugar and even artificial sweeteners in diet soda can be haphazard to your health. Therefore, try to instead to drink a good amount of water – eight to 10 glasses every day — can help keep you hydrated and be more alert. Many foods are also good sources of water; fruits like oranges, grapefruit, grapes, watermelon, and apples can help keep you healthy and hydrated. Other options to maintain alertness during the lolls of the day are stretching, green tea, ginseng, vitamin B pills, or even black tea/coffee.
So if you are going to snack, feeling a little tired, or are just thirsty keep the substituted consumables I have mentioned in this article in mind. We hope you have enjoyed the easy health tips from Apollo, where you are not just a number, but a person. If you need to get in contact with us, click here!


Rahul Gandhi assures most backward castes of a special quota with 27 per cent reservation for OBCs.
Trying to stitch together a winnable caste combination in Uttar Pradesh, the Congress Saturday tried to woo the most backward castes (MBCs), promising to carve out a special quota for them within the 27 per cent OBC quota if voted to power.
AICC general secretary Ghulam Nabi Azad said the promise would be included in the party's manifesto for the assembly polls.
This is not the first time that the Congress has made such a promise. Its manifesto for the 2012 UP assembly polls had promised a sub-quota for Ati Dalits within Scheduled Castes as well as a sub-quota for MBCs. It had also promised to consider a sub-quota for economically backward minorities. But the promises did not make any electoral impact.
The party on Saturday revived the idea, hoping it would strike a chord with the MBCs and extreme backward castes (EBCs) who, it believes, nurse a feeling that the benefits of the 27 per cent OBC quota have not reached them, and have only been shared by one or two numerically dominant backward castes.
The idea is to reach out to the non-Yadav, non-Kurmi backward castes, which is a significant population in UP. The party has zeroed in on 75-odd such castes.
Having reached out to the Brahmin community, projecting Sheila Dikshit as the chief ministerial face and holding Brahmin meetings, the Congress hopes to stitch together a coalition of Brahmin, non-Yadav OBC and Muslim vote base.
In Bihar, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has successfully created a vote bank by distinguishing between the backwards and most backwards, and Dalits and Mahadalits.
Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi interacted with around 150 most backward leaders from across the state at the AICC headquarters on Saturday, after which Azad said that the Congress manifesto would promise "reservation within reservation" for MBCs and EBCs. But he did not reveal how much of the 27 per cent reservation for the backwards will be promised to the MBCs.
Azad said Rahul told the leaders that Congress governments had enacted legislations for providing reservation within reservation in Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra and Haryana.
Azad named several castes which stand to benefit from reservation within reservations and added that the move would also benefit de-notified tribes.

Q: Swift 3.0 TapGesture to Get Rid of Keyboard and not Interfere with Table View I have looked up previous questions dealing with getting rid of a keyboard and not interfering with a table view and found the following code:
override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    searchBar.delegate = self

    let tapGesture = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(AddressVC.hideKeyboard))
    tapGesture.cancelsTouchesInView = false
    //searchResultsTableView.addGestureRecognizer(tapGesture)
    self.view.addGestureRecognizer(tapGesture)

}
func hideKeyboard()
    {
    self.view.endEditing(true)
    }

It seems that when I run this in the simulator, that when I tap the tableViewCell lightly, it registers as a tap to dismiss the keyboard and not as a tap to the tableView. However, if I tap and hold for a little longer in the simulator, it will both dismiss the keyboard and register as didSelectAtRow for the tableView. I was wondering if there code that can deal with this issue (or similar code that can do the same thing), or this isn't an issue at all and the simulator is less sensitive than an actual phone. (I can't set up my actual phone to test at the moment.)

A: The reason for the didSelectRow getting called on tap and hold, instead of the tap gesture recogniser, is because it is getting treated as a long press gesture, and since no long press gesture recogniser is defined, the touch is transferred to the view below. So a possible solution could be you add both a tapGesture recogniser, and a long press gesture recogniser, and on both the selectors call **self.view.endEditing(true)**. However make sure you remove the gesture recogniser after that, to enable interactions with the tableView afterwards.
@IBAction func tappedOutside(_ sender: UITapGestureRecognizer) {
    self.view.endEditing(true)
    self.view.removeGestureRecognizer(sender)
}

@IBAction func longPressOutside(_ sender: UILongPressGestureRecognizer) {
    self.view.endEditing(true)
    self.view.removeGestureRecognizer(sender)
}

Amid talk of Donald Trump's plans to build a border wall between the United States and Mexico, Mexico itself has an invisible wall along its southern border with Central America as migrants head north.
A Financial Times story details Mexico's role in stopping people from getting into its country from Guatemala. A reported 175,000 Central Americans were deported from Mexico in 2015 (a 68 percent jump from 2014), and so far in 2016 that number is approaching 100,000.
The Times claims the U.S. is sending Mexico $75 million in the form of equipment and training to help shore up its southern border. Ultimately, some of the Central American migrants wind up at America's southern doorstep. Stopping them from entering Mexico is the first line of defense.
A U.S. Border Patrol agent said earlier this year the U.S. should borrow a page out of Mexico's security playbook and strengthen its border defenses and deport more illegals when they arrive.
Trump said he has a plan for Mexico to pay for a border wall, which Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto said will not happen.
The Financial Times reports than an estimated 400,000 Central Americans illegally enter Mexico every year.

Q: CSS layouting for web page? I am relatively new to CSS. I am trying to create a normal page layout using HTML & CSS, but I am facing an issue. Here is my HTML.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

    <title>Jquery</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../css/StyleSheet1.css">

Here is my CSS script
html,body
{
    padding: 0px;
    margin: 0px;
    color: #555;
    font-size: 20px;
    font-family:  "Open Sans","lucida grande","Segoe UI",arial,verdana,"lucida sans unicode",tahoma,sans-serif;
    height: 100%;
}

.container
{
    height: 100%;
    background-color: Green;
    position: relative;
}

.header
{
    height: 300px;
    width: 100%;
    background-color: Red;
}

.content
{
    width: 100%;
    background-color: Black;
}

.footer
{
    height: 500px;
    width: 100%;
    background-color: Violet;
    position: absolute;
    bottom: 0px;
}

I am trying to create a header, footer and a content div. But my content div should automatically change it's height. If there is nothing inside content div then my page should at least have content height equal to (page height - (header height + footer height)).

A: You can have a look at Ryan Fait's "sticky footer" here : http://ryanfait.com/sticky-footer/
It does exactly what you are describing (i.e. footer always at least at the bottom of the page, even when the content div is not long enough).
It does require you to make a small change in your markup though. You would end up with

instead of what you already have. The "push" div is the empty div that fills up the space when the content isn't long enough to fill your page.
EDIT : I created a fiddle with the solution I had in mind. As I said I changed your markup a little bit but hopefully it's not a problem for you.
I also make the header and footer a bit smaller, just to make it easier to play with on jsfiddle.

A: How about changing position to relative? I fiddled it a little:
.footer
{
    height: 500px;
    width: 100%;
    background-color: green;
    position: relative;
    bottom: 0px;
}

JsFiddle example. See it and tell me is this what you want.

A: You are using height: 100%; you can't set height using % try using: min-height:450px; what this will do is set a minimum height and increase when content increases

A: You can achieve this with the following CSS:
html,body {
  padding: 0px;
  margin: 0px;
  color: #555;
  font-size: 20px;
  font-family:  "Open Sans","lucida grande","Segoe UI",arial,verdana,"lucida sans    unicode",tahoma,sans-serif;
  height: 100%;
}

.container {
  height: 100%;
  background-color: Green;
  position: relative;
}

.header {
  position: relative;
  height: 150px;
  width: 100%;
  background-color: Red;
  z-index: 1; /* higher than z-index of content */
}

.content {
  width: 100%;
  position: relative;
  top: -150px; /* - height of header */
  padding-top: 150px; /* + height of header */
  margin-bottom: -350px; /* - (height of header + height of footer) */
  padding-bottom: 200px; /* height of footer */
  height: auto;
  min-height: 100%;
  box-sizing: border-box;
  z-index:0; /* lower than z-index of header */
  background-color: Black;
}

.footer {
  height: 200px;
  width: 100%;
  background-color: Violet;
  position: relative;
  bottom: 0px;

Namsaah Bottling Trust is housed in a lovely Western style bungalow that would look right at home in many American or European cities.
Housed in a renovated bungalow with a 100-year pedigree, Namsaah Bottling Trust is half house museum and half restaurant. The East-meets-West menu is reflected in the restaurant's eclectic interior design.
From the outside, the restaurant would look right at home in a leafy residential neighborhood in the United States or Europe.
The interiors, meanwhile, have been lovingly restored, with a careful balance between historical accuracy and modern playfulness. I was, in fact, so charmed by the design that I didn't spend much time chatting with my dining companions while waiting for the food to arrive.
Instead, I wandered about the place checking out the furniture and the furnishings, the artwork and the knickknacks. I couldn't help but fantasize about living in such a place. Realistically speaking, I will have to be satisfied with dining in one.
The restaurant is divided into two levels. The ground floor is a bar, which serves classic cocktails, innovative cocktails, and bar bites – usually with an Asian twist.
Upstairs in a more formal dining area, with an essentially pan-Asian, a la carte menu. The focus is on Bangkok-style street food that has been re-interpreted, classed up a notch, and plated with a stylish and sometimes whimsical touch.
There are a few concessions to Western preferences such as the spiced pomme frites, or spicy French fries, and the Chiang Mai sausage with mashed potatoes.
Sriracha-aioli popcorn shrimp, fresh duck spring rolls, chicken-shrimp coconut relish, turmeric chicken, moo, tuna cerviche, shrimp escabeche, and salmon tartare wonton "tacos".
Shrimp Escaheche – sauteed shrimp with garlic, fresh long red chil pepeper, sea salt and coriander. THD 320.
Salmon tartare wonton tacos – salmon tartare with chili-line tamato dressing in a crispy wonton skin. THB 330.
There is only one soup on the menu, a spicy and sour clear chicken soup with Chinese-Thai herbs, shiitake mushrooms, spring onions, and coriander. THB 240.
Caesar soft shell crab, banana flower salad – Vietnmaese styled, duck confit noodle salad , calamari salad, free range chicken salad Namsaah style, and crispy pork belly yum salad.
Crispy Pork Belly Yum Salad – Pork belly with Chinese broccoli, fried garlic, fried shallots, mint and coriander in a long red chili pepper dressing, THB 320.
Kee-Mao drunken lobster, seafood nasi goreng, duck and mushroom, sweet and sour pork ribs, Japanese Iwate beef steak, Chilean seabass in a white soy-ginger broth, slow-cooked beef red curry, kung pao prawn, tangerine chicken, Andaman tuna curry, black pepper lamb shank, and Namsaah Phad Thai.
Namsaah Pad Thai – Pad Thai with foie grae, bean sprouts, garlic chives, dried shrimp, tofu, and peanuts. THB 490.
There are several vegetables and sides on the menu. The green market clay pot and Himalayan momo vegetables are the chef's favourites.
Kaffir lime "pie", passion fruit panna cotta, Thai coffee cream brulee, Lamington cake, passion fruit parfait, and banana roti.
Banana Roti – crisp pancake topped with banana brulee. THB 200.
The wine list includes 21 reds by the bottle, 17 whites by the bottle, and three roses by the bottle. There are also four reds, three whites, and one rose by the glass.
French wines dominate the wine list, but Argentinean, Australian, Californian, Chilean, German, Italian, New Zealand, and South African wines are also represented.
There are also four French champagnes and one Italian sparkling wine by the bottle. The Italian wine is also served by the glass.
There are more than 30 cocktails on the drinks list, and they run from never-say-die classics to innovative concoctions, which have a distinctly tropical twist.
Expect Asian flavours paired with premium spirits. Numerous bar bits are also available.
With a 100-year pedigree, the building started out as a residence for someone with royal connections. It then became an office for a soft drinks brand. Namsaah means "sparking water" in Thai – thus the name.
In its most recent incarnation, the villa serves as headquarters for a now defunct bank. The structure underwent a complete renovation – both inside and out – before reopening as a stylish eatery.
You eat at the restaurant as much for the ambiance as for the food. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.
I'm not sure which I enjoyed more: the yummy food, the charming atmosphere, or the warm hospitality of our hosts from Country Group Development.
They picked out some of the best restaurants in town and also ordered some-watering dishes. I'm afraid I put on a few pounds on this trip.
I particularly liked the phad thai with made with foie gras, the crispy pork belly yum salad, the shrimp escaheche, and the salmon tartare wonton tacos. The presentation was especially creative.
I'm a big heritage buff, and having dinner at Namsaah Bottling Trust was a bit like dining in a house museum. This would be the perfect spot to take visitng tourists from out of town.
Our dinner was hosted by Country Group Development, which flew me from Hong Kong to Bangkok preview the Chao Phraya Estate project.
Namsaah Bottling Trust – 401 Soi Sirijullassayvok (Silom Soi 7) Silom, Bangrak, Thailand.

Heroin is Movin' On Up: New Study Shows 75% Of Heroin Addicts Now Live In Suburban Areas
We've seen plenty of coverage about it in the news – heroin is currently an epidemic in this country and its use is far-reaching, even into areas like middle-class suburbia.
But, now according to HealthDay via WebMD News a study has been conducted, which supports this trend with actual science and statistics.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report that U.S. sales of prescription narcotics rose 300% in less than a decade, between 1999 and 2008. During the same time period, fatal drug overdoses tripled, a number, which in large part is attributable to prescription painkillers.
According to research published yesterday in JAMA Psychiatry online, heroin use was mainly a problem affecting teens living in poor, urban neighborhoods; it now is more commonly found among whites in their early 20s. That's to say, the current typical heroin user is a middle-class suburbanite who first began using prescription painkillers.
Lead researcher for the study, Theodore Cicero, a professor of psychiatry at Washington University in St. Louis. "There really has been a shift, in just the past five years or so. There's been a migration (of heroin abuse) to the suburbs."
Although the current findings came as no surprise, Cicero added that "This is verifying, in a systematic way, what we've suspected."
Before the 1990s, doctors weren't prescribing powerful opiate narcotics, says Dr. Herbert Kleber, an addiction expert at the New York State Psychiatric Institute and Columbia University Medical Center in New York City. When treating pain became more of a priority, a 'fifth vital sign' in medicine, there was a movement toward prescribing these powerful painkillers.
This recent trend of heroin use in the suburbs can be widely attributed to abuse of prescription narcotics such as OxyContin (oxycodone), Vicodin (hydrocodone), and fentanyl. When some of the people who were prescribed such medications became addicted, they eventually turned to the cheaper version – heroin, Cicero said.
The researchers collected data from a survey conducted on almost 2,800 U.S. patients who were in treatment for heroin abuse. Older patients who had first started using heroin back in the 1960s were mostly men who started using when they were teens and who had gone straight to heroin as their first drug of abuse. Just over half of these patients were white.
Over time, the profile of the American heroin user has morphed, a shift that began during the 1990s. B 2010, about 90% of recently initiated heroin abusers were white, and half were women. The average age of today's heroin user is 22.9 years old. And, 75% lived in "less urban" areas, according to the study.
Three-quarters of people who began abusing heroin after 2000 started with abusing painkillers before 'graduating' to heroin, and spoke of the main attraction to using the illicit substance: It's cheap and easy to get.
On the street, OxyContin can run up to $80 for a pill – whereas heroin can be as cheap as $6 for a bag, Kleber noted.
In the study, people reported getting heroin from middle-class neighbors or classmates.
Janina Kean, president of the High Watch Recovery Center, a drug rehab facility in Kent, CT said education regarding the disease of addiction is essential. Some heroin abusers in the study said that, at first, they didn't consider themselves to be addicts because they didn't fit the image of the stereotypical "junkie."
"There's so much stigma around it," she said. "And stigma is a barrier to treatment."

Health Alert: Tyson Recalls Ground Beef
US - The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has issued a public health alert for 808 pounds of ground beef produced by Tyson Fresh Meats and sold by a Medford, Oregon, grocery store.
A sample of the product, which was produced by the Tyson plant in Lexington, Nebraska, was analyzed in distribution and found to contain E. coli O157:H7.
There have been no reports of illness associated with consumption of this product. There is also no danger to consumers as long as this, or any other ground beef product, is properly handled and cooked to a minimum internal temperature of 160° F. However, this health alert is being issued out of an abundance of caution.
The Tyson-produced 85/15 coarse ground beef involved in the alert was further processed, packaged and sold by Sherm's Food-4-Less in Medford. The product had a Use By/Sell By date of May 19.
USDA has issued a public health alert rather than a recall because it has confirmed none of the affected products remain available for sale at the store. Consumers who may have bought various sized packages of ground beef at this store between May 7 and May 19 are encouraged to check their refrigerators and freezers and discard or return the product for a refund.

Experience "Weaving Water" at Hatfield House
by Fairmount Park Conservancy on December 20, 2022
Soon after artists Stephane Rowley and Lisa Volta had installed their collaborative work, Weaving Water, outside East Fairmount Park's Hatfield House, two teenage boys on bicycles stopped to ask them about the project.
"They said they thought it was cool, but they didn't know what was happening," Rowley said. "They commented that that's one thing they enjoy about Philadelphia: You never know what you're going to find."
The artists shared apple cider with the teens and talked about the work, which aims to "draw attention to conservation efforts and growth in our city concerning historical structures, urban development, and the preservation of our natural environment," as Volta's website describes.
Volta hoped the exchange furthered the Conservancy's goal of turning Hatfield House into a gathering place for Strawberry Mansion residents.
"For a long time, the general feeling was that (Hatfield House) wasn't for the community. It was an island in the neighborhood," Volta said. "It felt good to creatively contribute to drawing people in."
The installation features two 5 x 18 foot-long panels hanging from the house's roof line. Both contain printed images, including collaged photos of water and drawings of native plants. Woven fabric in the panels' upper half adds an interesting design element and weighs down the panels.
The original panels were single pieces of printed cotton broadcloth that were cut and resewn. "My thinking was that in every act of nature, there is deconstruction to create new growth," Rowley said. The panels were machine-sewn, the accents were hand-sewn.
The panels seem to be part of the house from a distance, mimicking the windows.
"People have told me that when the wind blows, it looks like the building is breathing," Volta said.
The title Weaving Water has multiple meanings. One is that the project served as an opportunity for the artists, long-time friends – to weave their mediums together, "creating an artwork that plays on how our actions inform our content and vice versa," Volta said.
Volta is primarily a painter who also works in photography. Rowley works with fabrics and thread, and her woven and sewn works reuse discarded materials to send a message about sustainability.
Second, the panels contain images of water that are literally hand-woven together. And water, when naturally flowing in streams or rivers, weaves through a landscape.
Finally, no one can actually weave with water, which symbolizes the challenges we face as a society as we seek to work with, not against, nature.
"Everyone wants to move forward in a positive way, but it's tricky," Rowley said. "But we must keep trying, even though it might seem impossible."
The photo collages are compilations of images Volta shot in Wissahickon Park. She took photos in different areas from different angles and collaged drawings of native plants, adding texture to the artwork.
The water and plant imagery work together. "Native plants help to preserve natural water sources, creating a healthy ecosystem," Volta said.
"Weaving Water" is currently displayed on the grounds of the Hatfield House at 33rd and Girard until January. The grounds are open for visiting daily. Learn more about the Hatfield House here.

Kelley School of Business History
In 1920, the Kelly school of business was first established as the "School of Commerce and Finance" of Indiana University. It was later renamed the "School of Business Administration" in 1933 and "School of Business" in 1938. In 1997, alumnus E.W. Kelley, chairman of the Steak n Shake Company, gave a donation of $23 million and it was named "Kelley School of Business".
The school was initially housed in the Commerce Building constructed in 1923 (William A. Rawles Hall since 1971). It moved to the Business and Economics Building in 1940 (called Woodburn Hall since 1971), and finally to the present-day Business School building in 1966.
Classes started being held in Indianapolis in 1961, and the Kelley School of Business officially expanded to Indianapolis in 1974. It is located in the Business/Spea building on the IUPUI campus. During the expansion, Kelley School of Business was "one school, one faculty, one curriculum in two different locations". The dean's office is located on the Bloomington campus. The Executive Associate Dean – Indianapolis, and the Associate Dean of Indianapolis Research and Programs positions were created to lead the Kelley School of Business curriculum, faculty, and programs at IUPUI.
The $33 million Graduate and Executive Education Center was completed in 2003 and provides facilities to the Kelley School's graduate and executive education students.
In 2003, the Bloomington Brands was launched after Kelley School and Scotts Miracle-Gro Company, a unique brand management work-study program for both undergraduates and MBA students, went into a partnership. The Osmocote Plant Food brand under contract from Scotts is managed by participating students. Students are instructed and regulated by Bob Stohler, a former Scotts executive. All marketing variables for the Osmocote brand, including the selection of product formulas, packages, sizes, pricing, and the development of marketing strategy, media purchase and selection, advertising, promotional activities, and consumer research. At Scott's, Brands students work closely with other multiple business functions.
Interim Dean Dan Smith was appointed as the new dean of Kelly business school in the summer of 2005. He replaced Dean Dan Dalton who stepped down in 2004.
In a ceremony on October 21, 2005, the Kelley School Graduate and Executive Education Center were renamed in honor of William J. Godfrey, an alumnus and successful businessman who had bequeathed the school with land valued at $25 million.
On March 30, 2012, the Undergraduate Building Hodge Hall was renamed in honor of James R. Hodge who gave $15 million to Kelly school for the renovation and expansion of its facility. The $60 million expansion and renovation of Hodge Hall were completed in May 2012 and was opened in the fall of 2014. A substantial amount was also donated by the Eli Lilly Foundation as well.
After serving as dean for seven years, Dan Smith stepped down in June 2012 and took a new position as president and CEO of the Indiana University Foundation. Interim dean Idalene Kesner was announced as the new dean of the school on May 9, 2013. She was the first woman to serve as dean at Kelly school of business.
