David Bowie Considers One Of His Own Album "Awful"
via David Bowie/YouTube
In a span of five decades, David Bowie enjoyed triumph in both his commercial and creative musical career. However, Bowie's fame started to dim during the time when he released his most essential and enduring material as an artist.
Looking back, he had a different kind of luck when it comes to being prominent compared to his peers in the 1960s rock scene. Although his 1967 self-titled debut album was something of a false start, it began to change into something more beautiful two years after.
Maybe his Space Oddity album wasn't still critically lauded at that time, however, the lead single of the same title was made perfectly just in time with the moon landings of 1969. Thus, became his first major hit.
His career started climbing drastically when he released Hunky Dory and its star-bound follow-up Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders From Mars. The latter one was the first time Bowie introduced his first alter ego and later on followed by more personas throughout the remainder of the '70s.
When the 1980s came in, Bowie slowly gave in to Pop and called it his "Phil Collins years." Although he indulged in some commercial value, still Bowie perfectly bridged the gap between commercial impact and artistic merit through his timeless hits like "Ashes to Ashes," "Fame," and "Teenage Wildlife."
His pop years continued to stretch out through the '80s. However, after releasing his most popular album of the decade, his 1983 "Let's Dance," the singer started feeling dissatisfied with his work. According to Bowie, upon working with 1987 Never Let Me Down, he was already distressed at that time. He said:
"Never Let Me Down had good songs that I mistreated. I didn't really apply myself. I wasn't quite sure what I was supposed to be doing.
"I felt dissatisfied with everything I was doing, and eventually, it started showing in my work. Let's Dance was an excellent album in a certain genre, but the next two albums after that showed that my lack of interest in my own work was really becoming transparent. My nadir was Never Let Me Down. It was such an awful album."
On that note, Bowie thought that Never Let Me Down was his most awful work because he did not feel the same fire he felt when he was working on his music in his early days.

There have been two incidents I have seen recently that I feel are worthy of a blog post.
The two moments, one of which I witnessed today, were when firefighters shed their tough exteriors and showed a softer side.
I went to a fire on Pepperbush Drive this afternoon. It wasn�t anything major. The fire was contained to one room. It actually sounded pretty big on the scanner, hence my hustle to get out there. It will be about 5 inches of ink in the paper tomorrow.
But what I saw after the fire was knocked out and the equipment was put away was cool. Not all fire scenes can be fully contained. This one, located of Bingham Drive, was a house right near the edge of the road. As I stood across the street, neighbors walked around fire trucks and carried on.
At one point, a few small children walked past the scene with family members. After a few kids walked by, I noticed a firefighter carrying a small plastic firefighter helmet.
It was shiny red with an elastic band to fit underneath the wearers chin.
The firefighter, half covered in rain and partially in sweat (I suspect) ran to catch up with one the kids. He handed him the helmet.
It was just a small moment, but it was the second act like this I�ve seen this month. About two weeks ago, I saw a firefighter on a different call get out of his truck and give a little boy a sticker.
These may just be small moments and may not mean a lot to people. But I thought both moments were rather touching and worth sharing with you.


Here are some of our past projects!
Jr. EC has partnered with ITK - Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami (ITK) formerly Inuit Tapirisat of Canada, the national voice of 55,000 Inuit living in 53 communities across the Inuvialuit Settlement Region, to develop a financial literacy toolkit that is used to educate Inuit youth across all 4 Arctic regions of Canada. This project produces a culturally relevant financial literacy toolkit that is used by Inuit Youth Coordinators, educators and other organizations providing programs for Inuit Youth. We have worked with 7 Youth leaders across all 4 regions to help with the development of content, testing & evaluation of the toolkit. These youth will also be promoting the toolkit in their respective regions, at their various regional youth meetings and symposiums. The toolkit was formally launched during Aboriginal Awareness Week on June 20th 2016. We are now traveling to remote regions across the north to run workshops for youth promoting the toolkit and to train local community leaders.
Sides* is a content stream for youth created in partnership with Bell Media. Anchored by a first-of-its-kind weekly LIVE TV show on social media, our feed stays fresh all week long with a mix of produced and user-generated content across all social channels. Sides* passes the mic to the next generation and lets them lead the conversation. We want to give our younger generation a voice and a platform to talk about serious world issues from a fresh and youthful perspective. Our goal is to encourage more youth to engage in meaningful conversations about the world around them and the issues that pertain to their future. We're everywhere our audience is, including TV. We curate the best of the week into a one-hour TV series. Sides* mixes the unfiltered discussion from the "LIVE social first show" with the viewers' social media reaction and rants, airing on MUCH every week. Sides* completed its first season in 2017.


The use of colors in branding can have a profound impact on a client's purchasing behavior. Some studies have show that people's judgment about a product or service can be 60%-90% influenced by color alone. Colors can elicit different emotions and reactions, as well as a memorable impression. Whether you are painting your offices, designing your marketing materials, or creating a logo, here is what you need to know before choosing a color.
Blue is a widely used color in logo design. It stands for being dependable, trustworthy, and fiscally responsible. Big brands like Facebook, AT&T as well as Walmart, all use blue. This color is also used by most police stations, to build trust with the public. Several industries use this color hue including finance, lifestyle, and tech spaces. When used by brands, consumers generally feel safe and in responsible hands. It's no surprise that tech companies like Facebook and Twitter have chosen blue as their brand color.
Yellow is a very optimistic color. Since it is generally perceived as being bright, it has the ability to grab a consumer's attention even from afar. That's why McDonalds and Denny's have used yellow in the design of their logos in a bid to attract hungry travelers. Yellow can also invoke feelings of happiness or excitement.
Orange is considered a friendly color. It is used by numerous brands including Nike, Nickelodeon, as well as Hermes. Bright bold orange is mainly used by stores to promote value such as Payless and Home Depot, which communicate affordability. According to branding experts, a subtle shade of orange represents an appeal to the upscale market.
If you want to portray your brand as imaginative, creative, or wise, then purple is the way to go. It can also be used as an emotional or soothing color. This is the reason why Hallmark used it when creating their primary logo, as well as branding their more than 40,000 stores worldwide.
Red is used by some of the biggest brands in the world. Companies such as Coca Cola and Keller Williams use red as their primary color. It expresses passion and excitement. Red is usually used in combination with softer colors like yellow or white to add a sense of excitement. Tech companies like Netflix and YouTube, pair red with black to signal a modern-bold feel.
When white is used in marketing materials or logo design, it can convey a sense of transparency. White can also convey quiet and pure. Company's such as Apple use white in their products to communicate a sense of simple and pure design.
Black is often used in luxury marketing material and branding. That is why it is the preferred option for stretch limousines and glamorous evening wear. If you want to convey sophistication, drama, and a sense of status, then this is the color for the occasion. The primary brand color of Uber is black.
Everyone's perception and preferences differ, making color selection more of an art than a science. Shades, hues and tints can also play into perceptions as well. So before finalizing your brand colors, make sure to do a bit of research and testing. The right colors can create a huge impact in the way potential clients perceive your brand.

Lusail, Qatar
Lusail Stadium – stadium description
It is the largest stadium in the Middle East and the arena of the grand final of the 2022 World Cup. The 80,000-seat facility was built on the outskirts of the country's capital (15 km north of the centre of Doha) in the futuristic Lusail, a city under construction designated for over 200,000 inhabitants.
The initial concept of the arena, when presenting Qatar's candidacy to host the 2022 World Cup, assumed a roof that could be completely retracted in the evening, making the venue entirely open-air. However, this feature turned out to be completely unrealistic to be put into practice.
Preparatory work began in 2015, and the actual construction started on April 11, 2017. What is extremely rare in large tournaments, the final concept was kept a secret for a long time. Its official presentation took place in December 2018, when the works were already at an advanced stage.
Initially, the stadium was due to be completed in 2020, but eventually work took a year longer. On November 20, 2021, representatives of the Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy announced at a press conference that the works at the facility were finished.
Lusail Stadium is set almost perfectly on a circular plan. From the outside, its shape resembles a huge bowl, which is a reference to the traditional vessel for dried dates. The structure of the "date bowl" surrounding the stands weighs as much as 30,000 tons and is 310 m in diameter. It rests on 48 slanted columns, creating a frame of 24 V-shaped supports. The columns alone weigh 6,271 tons, which is more than all structure steel used in most football stadiums.
The golden facade of the building features intricate triangular patterns inspired by old Qatari lamps (fanar). This effect was achieved thanks to 4,200 triangular aluminum plates with a total area of 60,000 square metres. The whole thing is connected to the main steel structure of the arena by 4,672 connectors.
The huge roof also deserves attention despite not being retractable. Its membrane was stretched in such a way as to create another ornament - hundreds of diamond-shaped elements. The roof membrane has an area of 45,000 square metres, making it one of the largest structures of its kind. The roofing design is considered to be one of the most complex systems of cable-membrane structures in the world.
The auditorium with a net capacity of 88,966 (technically it is possible to reach 86,000) is divided into two tiers. Each of them has an internal division into halves. This solution aims to offer the optimal location of pedestrian routes and places for the disabled.
After the end of the 2022 World Cup, many of the seats will be dismantled and shipped overseas. The venue is to be partly converted into a public place. Schools, shops, cafes, medical clinics and sports facilities are planned. All of the above will be under the roof that is to be preserved from the football stadium.

06.01.2023 Stadium of the Year 2022: Time for your nominations!
We have said goodbye to the old year and are looking forward with high hopes to what 2023 will bring. For our editorial team, it is time to summarise what happened on the world's stadium map in 2022. Any moment now, the next edition of our Stadium of the Year vote will be launched. We invite you to take an active part in our competition and suggest your candidates.
19.12.2022 Qatar 2022: World Cup concluded!
On Sunday, everything became clear. The World Cup winner, after a 36-year hiatus, is once again Argentina, who defeated France in a penalty shootout at the end of a exciting match. On Saturday, Croats won a bronze medal following a victory over Morocco. So, let us now wrap up the World Cup from the stadiums perspective.
17.12.2022 Qatar 2022: Final showdown excitement ahead!
The World Cup is slowly coming to an end, but there are still two key matches to be played that will decide who will bring home the medals and of what metal. Croatia and Morocco will face each other for the bronze on Saturday and Argentina and France in the grand final on Sunday. Expect a lot of action!
07.12.2022 Qatar 2022: Check out our coverage of the World Cup!
The World Cup can be entertaining. There is no shortage of beautiful goals, excitement until the 100th (sic!) minute, controversial refereeing calls and defeats for the favourites. But, we are especially interested in Qatar's stadiums, and if you somehow missed the events of recent weeks, we are here to help.
23.11.2022 Qatar 2022: What's wrong with the stadium attendance?
The whole football world has wondered why FIFA, in its official figures on the number of fans in the stands at the ongoing World Cup, states that there were more supporters than seats available in the stadium. This situation has happened several times before, so we explain what this is all about.
21.11.2022 Qatar 2022: World Cup inaugurated!
On Sunday, November 20 at 5pm (CET), the first whistle at the football World Cup was blown by the referee. In the opening match, the Qatari national team clashed with Ecuador. Earlier, the opening ceremony took place. Although it lacked big stars, it was still very impressive.
20.11.2022 Qatar 2022: FIFA World Cup kicks off today!
On November 20 at 5pm (CET), the great countdown will come to an end. A few months later than usual, in an uncharacteristic aura, the world's best footballers will hit the Qatari pitches. To celebrate the tournament, our editorial team has prepared a special stadium feature for you.
22.09.2022 Qatar 2022: Huge Lusail Stadium debuted to mixed reviews
The Lusail stadium, the last of the eight that will host matches for the 2022 World Cup, opened on Friday with a game between Al-Hilal, from Saudi Arabia, and Zamalek, from Egypt. The stadium will host the World Cup final on Qatar National Day on December 18.
18.08.2022 Qatar: The last stadium of the 2022 WC inaugurated!
Although the construction of Lusail Stadium was already completed in 2021, the 80,000-seater had to wait for its first official match until now. It is fair to say that all the venues for the upcoming World Cup are 100% ready for use!
22.06.2022 Qatar 2022: New report critical of the WC's environmental impact
The upcoming FIFA World Cup in Qatar was hailed as the most environmentally friendly in history. Its organisers boasted that the World Cup will have net zero emissions related to the carbon dioxide. A newly published report dispels these hopes. The carbon footprint of the Qatari tournament could be even eight times greater than expected!
19.04.2022 Qatar 2022: Fighting for climate or saving the image?
The upcoming World Cup in Qatar raises as many controversies and question marks as it does positive associations with the football tournament itself. Air-conditioned stadiums, the fight against environmentalists, climate neutrality and much more. Meet the lights and shadows of the first ever WC to be played in December.
02.02.2022 New stadium: The date bowl still awaiting its first game
There are just over 9 months until the start of the 2022 World Cup. All venues are ready, but not all of them were officially inaugurated. Lusail Stadium - the arena of the grand final - is still waiting for the first match.
13.01.2022 Stadium of the Year 2021: Time for You to nominate!
January is a special time on our website, when we begin the process of considering the candidates in the battle for Stadium of the Year title. Which venues opened in 2021 do you think should be on the ballot for the competition?
Stadiums in Qatar
Abdullah bin Khalifa Stadium
Al Janoub Stadium
Al Shamal Stadium

The EWNT and the global-corona.blog were awarded the Smart Hero Award
in the category Special Prize for Corona Engagement
Dear all of you,
Congratulations for the Smart Hero Award. But, what is even more important, thank you very much for the global-corona.blog! You've put a lot of work in this, and probably far more than what is already visible from the outside - as organizers, translators, contributors and as a team. Thank you, not (only) for the Smart Hero Award, but (due to the occasion of the award) for your commitment - and for the voices from the South who are, yet again, doing development work here (in the North).
Once again: The idea of the global-corona.blog is extremely important. Not only because Corona will be with us for quite a while - far beyond a possible vaccine and persist in the Global South even longer. But because this ongoing moment is characterized above all by the fact that everyone (people and nations) is thrown back on themselves. Along with this development goes a renewed legitimacy to dwell in one's own worries, caring about oneself – and just oneself alone. Therefore, it is symptomatic, that similar blogs and reports, which popped up at the beginning of the pandemic, already ceased away or spinned to other urgent issues. In contrast, your global-corona.blog turns this moment's movement upside-down. Turning it into a prism to perceive the other others (of the global south), their situations and needs. There is a need for such solidary endeavours now more than ever. Moreover, through a media format which sets out from the personal experience of the other person - and the encounter with it - to grasp and understand the national peculiarities and global connections.
There are these people out there (including teachers), interested in others and being aware of this implicit renationalization, looking for ways and opportunities transcending it. As well as there are certainly many more voices out there, from different social backgrounds in many parts of the world, that have important things to say and that you can collect.
Please keep this global-corona.blog going! Thank you very much!
Benjamin Bunk
(on behalf of the board of the One World Network Thuringia e.V.)

Q: Can I set a JS function to read HTML Table Cells? So I have the a HTML table with two variables that I want a function to read and display a text when true. For example: Trading hours of a store, if the number put into the first text box is 1130 and the second is 2100 then that would make the trading hours 11:30-9:00.
I then need a javascript function to read each one and display "Open" or "Closed" if the time is between those times or before/after.
Here is my current code:
<!DOCTYPE html>

Hours

Open

Closed

------

1130

2100

I already have a set function but it's not very flexible and I need the ability to have the script call the cell and print the text.
EDIT: Would using the var tag work??? I'm not sure how to use it exactly but I do know that it's used for something like this?

A: Just get the data from your p tags and use it in your function like I did below. However there a few things wrong in there I'm not going to fix for you that you should figure out on your own. I put in a console.log() that shows you what value is being returned by time. You'll see that it is return only a 2 digit response for the hours. You're HTML data has a the minutes as well. You're going to want to adjust your function to parse the two separately and use that value in your conditional.

function tradeFunction() {
var greeting;
var time = new Date().getHours();
console.log(time);
if (time < parseInt(document.getElementById('2').innerHTML)) {
    greeting = "Closed";
} else if (time < parseInt(document.getElementById('3').innerHTML)) {
    greeting = "Open";
} else {
    greeting = "Status: Unknown";
}
document.getElementById("hours").innerHTML = greeting;
}

Hours

Open

Closed

------

1130

2400

A: First take care to close your table rows, in your HTML you are missing the
Then in order to compare the day time with the values you have in your table cells, you need it in the same format (hhmm).
The lines that are doing that are:
  var date = new Date();
  var time = date.getHours() * 100 + date.getMinutes();

Also your initial condition for your if statement was not correct:
In english:
it is open if the current time is between the opening and the closing time.
which is traduced in:
if (time >= opening && time <= closing)

The final working code is:

<!DOCTYPE html>

Hours

Open

Closed

------

1130

2100

Camila Cabello Just Revealed Her Dream Man!
Camila Cabello may be hard at work on her solo career, but that doesn't stop her from finding love!
"That's not the kind of life I want to live. I want to make music, but I also want to go on road trips with friends. I want to go backpacking around Europe. I want to meet a Spanish boy in Spain and fall in love."
She also gave away more details on why she left 5H on that fateful day *sobs*, "I started in the group when I was just 15. I needed to follow my heart and my artistic vision. I'm grateful for everything we had in Fifth Harmony and for [this new] opportunity. I am less focused on success and more on doing my best and pursuing my artistic vision to the fullest, wherever that takes me. Of course I also hope people will enjoy my music!"
Yep nothing but love, no bad blood to be seen here despite all those rumours.
And while we're still sad that she's no longer part of the group, we're seriously looking forward to more amazing solo music!


As the final leaves fall from the trees, and a crisp morning air becomes more of a certainty than a shock, it is safe to say that Winter is steadily approaching. With its arrival, the coldest of seasons also brings with it the blackest of nights, which are greeting us sooner with each passing day, and with so many of us going to and from work in the dark, the idea of walking your canine companions in the light seems like a distant dream.
For those of us with these kinds of dogs, getting them out in the dreary weather can require a little more encouragement than usual. Some of them just need a nudge and then end up really enjoying the walk – great! However if your dog seems really keen to remain indoors in the warm then that's fine! Walks are an absolute must as we all know but there are inevitably occasions where staying inside in the light and warm is a better option.
However, while the need for a walk in the dark, cold, rainy night may not be the most viable option, the need to exercise your dog remains paramount, otherwise you may have a bundle of boundless energy on your hands.
Lots of people don't realise, but mental stimulation and doggy brain games are an excellent way to burn loads of energy, with a plethora of options to choose from. Puzzle games, snuffle mats, scent games or even just playing with your dog's favourite toy are just a few of the many options available!
Bud and Dexter working hard with some exciting enrichment games.
As the above pictures perfectly capture, using food as an enrichment tool can work wonders in engaging your pooch. Use part of their dinner for the enrichment if you worry about over-feeding, and most dogs actually prefer working for their food!
If you don't have any immediately on hand, there's plenty of room for improvisation! Putting food in cardboard boxes, plastic milk bottles, or anything of a similar vein can make for some excellent enrichment tools.
Although they can be great enrichment, your dog may not be entirely aware of how to interact with the tool, so may require some help from you to show them what to do – start off easy and the quicker they get the better you can hide things! Try your hand with different objects, or simply play some "hunt the treat" games, the options are near limitless! It's always advisable to supervise your dog during these activities as well, and try to make it as fun as possible!
However, as previously stated, there are dogs that are unafraid of the dark and enjoy the wet weather. This is fantastic for them, as their routine goes on without change, but unfortunately that does mean you must brace the cold and dark!
Health & Safety in the dark is just as important as ensuring your dog is comfortable, and with the increasing amount of traffic these days, visibility is key, especially if you must walk your dog along unlit roads. There are so many fetching high visibility options available for your dog (and even for you!), so use this season as an opportunity to strengthen his winter wardrobe! Some dogs, short haired dogs especially may require an extra jacket to fight off the winter chills! Introduce this new, weird clothing gradually to your dogs as they will probably not be used to it. Use lots of treats and go at a slow pace making sure your dog is comfortable at all times.
Wouldn't you want to look this trendy?
Despite the miserable weather that Winter brings with it, there are many solutions to keep your dogs happy! Now you can rest assured knowing that your dog will be equally entertained and safe regardless of which enrichment option suits you and your beloved pet.

This evening I figured I could play a game on my Forge (because the game I was thinking of is actually really nice and well done), but then I realized my OUYA was plugged in instead of my Forge, and I didn't feel like switching the cables, so I played my OUYA instead.
I started off by playing this one game - and when I watched the opening sequences and played the game a bit, I realized just how awesome a job the developer had done on the title - way more advanced than anything I've put out.
I then played my own game, Air Defence, and as I played I remembered that time someone on OUYA Forum reviewed the game and criticized it harshly. But, I realize, that though it hurt to receive the negative feedback - fact is, that negative feedback is what inspired me to make the game better. You see, I had memories of what the original versions of the game were like, and I realized that the OUYA Forum criticism caused me to add and change some parts of the game that actually made it at least a bit better. I actually found myself sitting there, playing my own game, feeling THANKFUL for the harsh criticism I received -- thankful that someone helped drive me to make my own game better.
But, in all seriousness, with OUYA, I was nearly a beginner in the development world (previously having built practise projects in school and for myself), a beginner at android development, and well, in my history of developing OUYA games I have been mistaking and failing pretty steadily throughout the processes.
I mean, I screwed up on Pfhonge, I screwed up on ICBM, I screwed up on Air Defence, I even screwed up a bit on Doorless Darts - and then I screwed up on Blaine Bananatree too. Yes, it's all been a learning process, continually trying to make my games better. The only game I haven't realized any total screw ups in so far is The Bananatree Brothers, but the game buying community must've not forgotten my past screw ups and haven't been buying my latest game.
First off, I realize that most or even all newly released games on the OUYA/Cortex Store haven't been seeing many or any purchases in the past few weeks, so it's not just me that they're not buying (sort of thankfully).
But, I am happy, that someone gave The Bananatree Brothers a FIVE STAR rating. I know, unbelievable isn't it? It's a game I finally didn't have any easily perceptible screw-ups in, and I actually got the highest rating from one person. Makes me feel a bit happy actually.
Today I played some Bananatree Brothers with my Dad and my Brother - and I realized I was actually having fun with it! I mean, the Bananatree games seem really-really stupid - but I was actually having fun! Yippee.
So, maybe I'm progressing in my abilities, where I've finally released a game with no instantly or quickly perceived screw-ups in the final product, and I'm glad that I've "improved" as a developer as such.
Only problem is ---- people don't seem to buy very much, so without a lot of sales, I don't feel the greatest amount of encouragement to continue working.
I figure I may have more success garnering extra income from investing in the Stock Market, and as very few people actually pay for my actual work, maybe I can forget about working for a while. It's just that - the Stock Market actually makes money for me and my family, while actual work doesn't earn myself very much.
I just think it's kind of sad that I can earn so much from doing work that doesn't actually serve anybody, and when I do work that serves people, they won't pay me for it. That much is discouraging.

At first, I would mute the calls but Anxiety knew that I was there trying to avoid the calls. The calls would come in one after another, sometimes at odd and inconvenient time. First, I silenced the calls, then I put the phone on permanent vibrate, later I learned to turn off the phone. However, as soon as I turned the phone back on, a new call come in. Avoiding the calls only made more of them.
One day I answered the call and said "Hello" and heard only breathing on the the other side of the line. "That's creepy," I said as I hung up.
The next day I left the phone on and waited for the call. When it came I asked it to speak and tell me why it was calling. After a long pause anxiety said, "You called me." This made me angry and I responded by saying, "There is no way I called you, stop calling me" and I hung up.
'Who are you?" Answer: I am your conditioning. Your thoughts have made a comfortable place for me to live. Remember how you decided that thinking was the only way to solve and avoid pain in your life?
"Why do you keep calling ?" I miss you if it has been too long, I grow weaker without reminding you of the pain that you ignore. Remember how you learned to stay level because it wasn't long before trouble returned?
"Why are you calling?" Because you keep ignoring me, we are connected and we need each other to survive. Remember what it's like to feel like you aren't going to make it?
"Why do you call so often and so randomly?" We have to keep up our guard, the world is hostile and other people are unstable and some of them want to hurt you. You need to be reminded that it is just us against them. Remember how many people have let you down?
I didn't sleep that night. Neither did Anxiety. All of my life I had felt something troublesome was always around the corner. It didn't help that anxiety told me that what I am afraid of most is me and my painful memories. The next day and the days after I called first. I decided to use my phone not to avoid, but to listen to my conditioning, to feel its hidden pain, and then speak back words of acceptance, respect, and love.
At first, these calls were very difficult and anxiety often screamed at me in return, only to crank call me later. As weeks turned into months, I learned to look forward to collecting my feelings and thoughts before the calls. My new experience taught me that how I think determines what I feel and how I behave. At its most destructive, this pattern had made me equally isolated and lonely. I chose to accept those feelings as being real and true and that living my life to avoid the calls from my conditioning only made them stronger.
These days I initiate the calls most of the time and fill the dialogue with commitments to gratitude and loving awareness - especially on the days when circumstances tell me I shouldn't feel those things. I even call some trusted friends who understand and now I listen when they call, too. Anxiety still calls sometimes but when it does, I greet it with love, respect, and understanding. With practice, it's possible create an environment for your life that turns down troubling noise of fear. We need only self-love and care supported by our allies.
Last year, I took some steps to improve my professional life. I was in the "caring business" and had built a nice body of working helping others and training staff to do the same. The trouble was, I began to have panic attacks at work. For the most part I was able to hide them well and keep working. Then I stopped working and then they wouldn't hide any more.
I have had battles with panic since I was a kid. When they visited last spring, a google search led me to Tara Brach and her work Radical Acceptance. I read it, loved it, talked about it, but mostly misunderstood it - all because of decades of my personal experience. From that panic ridden work chair, I couldn't have been more unprepared to embrace mindfulness and any form of acceptance. This is no fault of the author or the book, it was like playing Chopin to a six year old who has just opened a keyboard at Christmas. We can hear the beauty but our stabs at imitation are murderous to the ears of everyone around us.
Eventually, a treadmill taught me that I was truly stuck. Rather, the treadmill on the gym that I joined in January where I had a notable, non-work panic attack. Over the Martin Luther King, Jr. weekend I browsed through Psychiatrist's listings on my cell phone. I found a local therapist with specialties in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy. In our first meeting, she kindly asked if I was interested in her help. She wasn't done asking when I blurted out "Yes, I need your help." So much starts with those four letters H.E.L.P.
Since then, I have started to take my therapist and a few trusted others on a tour of my past, re-read the works of Tara Brach, and embraced the message of Full Catastrophe Living by Jon Kabat-Zinn. The concepts are flowing. the intention for mindfulness is growing; however, the implementation needs practice. This practice will take the rest of my life and I am okay with that. There have been several moments where the limited skills I have developed in mindful presence have captured moments that I would have otherwise missed. My gratitude for presence growing.
For reasons that will be discussed further, I grew up in an emotionally chaotic environment and choose to ignore strong feelings, and learned to fear emotional outbursts. I choose to believe that I could do the best for my sister, my parents, and later for my own family if I was the strong stable one. This meant I should be impervious to my pain, but strong and supportive of others. It was never in my intention to hold my self in such low esteem. By denying the real experience of tumultuous times in life, I was torturing myself. This over driving sense of survival was killing my future but only after it murdered my awareness of the present moment.
Dear reader, I do not make claims to have originated any insight in this blog. I am a mimic, a mime, and a thief. Like Robin Hood, I hope I can steal some wisdom from the emotionally rich and connect to the emotionally poor. Others do this for me, and while I may never meet all of them, allowing them their place as allies in my life is the foundation for practice makes presence.
May the life you save be your own.

With increasing need for parallelization of Machine Learning algorithms, because of exponential increase in data sizes and even model sizes, it would have been really helpful if we had a tool which could help us parallelize our Pandas's DataFrame handling, which could parallilize our Numpy's computations, and even parallelize our Machine Learning algorithms (maybe algorithms from sklearn and tensorflow), efficiently, effectively and without much hassle.
But such a library does exist, and its name is Dask. Dask is a parallel computing library which doesn't just help parallelize existing Machine Learning tools ( Pandas andNumpy)[i.e. using High Level Collection], but also helps parallelize low level tasks/functions and can handle complex interactions between these functions by making a tasks' graph.[i.e. using Low Level Schedulers] This is similar to Threading or multiprocessing modules of Python.
They also have a separate Machine Learning library, dask-ml, which has integration with existing libraries such as sklearn, xgboost and tensorflow.
Dask parallelizes tasks given to it by making a graph of interactions between the tasks. It will be really helpful to visualize what you are doing by using Dask's .visualize() method which is available with all of its data types and with complex chain of tasks you compute. This method will output a graph of your tasks, and if your tasks have many nodes at each level(i.e. your tasks chain structure have many independent tasks at many levels, such as parallelizable task on chunks of data), then Dask will be able to parallelize them.
Each data type in Dask provides a distributed version of existing data types, such as DataFrame from Pandas, ndarray's from numpy, and list from Python. These data types can be larger than your memory, Dask will run computations on your data parallel(y) in Blocked manner. Blocked in the sense that they perform large computations by performing many small computations, i.e. in blocks, and number of blocks are total number of chunks.
Dask Array operates on very large arrays, by dividing them into chunks and executing those blocks parallely. It has many of numpy methods available which you can use to get speedup. But some of them are not implemented.
Dask Array can read from any array like structure given it supports numpy like slicing and has .shape property by using dask.array.from_array method. It can also read from .npy and .zarr files.
It can be used when your arrays are really heavy (i.e. they won't fit into memory) and numpy won't be able to do anything about that. So, Dask divides them into chunks of arrays and operate on them in parallel for you.
Now, Dask does lazy evaluation of every method. So, to actually compute the value of a function, you have to use .compute() method. It will compute the result parallely in blocks, parallelizing every independent task at that time.
Similar to Dask Arrays, Dask DataFrames parallelize computation on very large Data Files, which won't fit on memory, by dividing files into chunks and computing functions to those blocks parallely.
Now you can apply/use most of the functions available in pandas library and apply it here.
Dask Bags parallelizes computation on Python's list like objects which contains elements of many data types. It is useful when you are trying to process some semi-structured data like JSON blobs or log files.
Dask bags reads line by line and .take method outputs tuple of number of lines specified.
Dask Bag implements operations like map, filter, fold, and groupby on such collections of Python objects. It does this in parallel with a small memory footprint using Python iterators. It is similar to a parallel version of PyToolz or a Pythonic version of the PySpark RDD.
If your task is a little simple and you are not able to or don't want to do that with these High Level Collections, then you can use Low Level Schedulers which help you to parallelize your code/algorithm using dask.delayed interface. dask.delayed also does lazy computation.
You can add complex interactions between these functions according to your needs using results from previous tasks as an argument to next ones. Dask will not compute these functions right away, rather it will make a graph for your tasks, effectively incorporating interactions between functions that you use.
You can add delay to any parallelizable code with many possible small blocks and get a speedup. It can be many functions you want to compute like in example above or maybe reading a number of files in parallel using pandas.read_csv.
Firstly, until now we have using Dask's default Scheduler for computing results of our tasks. But you can change them according to your needs from the options available from Dask.
Threaded tasks will work well when the functions called release the GIL, whereas multiprocessing will always have a slower start-up time and suffer where a lot of communication is required between tasks.
# last one for "single-threaded"
It handles data locality with more sophistication, and so can be more efficient than the multiprocessing scheduler on workloads that require multiple processes.
You can create Dask's dask.distributed Scheduler by importing and creating a Client.
# diagnostic dashboard if you have Bokeh installed.
Now you can submit your tasks to this cluster by using client.submit method, giving function and arguments as its parameters. And then we can gather our result by either using client.gather or .result method.
You can also look at progress of your task in current cell only by using dask.distributed.progress. And you can also explicitly opt to wait for a task to complete by using dask.distributed.wait.
Dask also has library which helps in running most popular Machine Learning libraries in parallel, like sklearn, tensorflow and xgboost.
Large Models: Data fits in RAM, but training takes too long. Many hyperparameter combinations, a large ensemble of many models, etc.
Large Datasets: Data is larger than RAM, and sampling isn't an option.
For large datasets, use dask_ml estimators.
dask_ml.preprocessing contains some of the functions from sklearn like RobustScalar, StandardScalar, LabelEncoder, OneHotEncoder, PolynomialFeatures etc., and some of its own such as Categorizer, DummyEncoder, OrdinalEncoder etc.
You can use them as you have been using them with Pandas's DataFrame.
And you can make a pipeline from sklearn's make_pipeline method using preprocessing methods of Dask on Dask's DataFrame.
Dask has methods from sklearn for hyperparameter search such as GridSearchCV, RandomizedSearchCV etc.
And if you are using partial_fit with your estimators, you can use dask-ml's IncrementalSearchCV.
If you want to use post-fit tasks like scoring and prediction, then underlying estimators scoring method is used. If your estimator, possibly from sklearn is not able to handle large dataset, then wrap your estimator around "dask_ml.wrappers.ParallelPostFit". It can parallelize methods like "predict", "predict_proba", "transform" etc.
Dask has some of the Linear Models (LinearRegression, LogisticRegression etc.), some Clustering Models ( Kmeans and SpectralClustering), a method to operate with Tensorflow clusters, methods to train XGBoost models using Dask.
You can use sklearn's models with Dask, if your training data is small, maybe with with ParallelPostFit wrapper (if your test data is large).
If your dataset is not large but your model is big, then you can use joblib. Many sklearns algorithms were written for parallel execution (you might have used n_jobs=-1 argument), using joblib which makes use of threads and processes to parallelize workload. To use Dask to parallelize you can create a Client (you have to) and then wrap your code around with joblib.parallel_backend('dask'):.
Note that the Dask joblib backend is useful for scaling out CPU-bound workloads; workloads with datasets that fit in RAM, but have many individual operations that can be done in parallel. To scale out to RAM-bound workloads (larger-than-memory datasets) you should use Dask's inbuilt models and methods.
And if you training data is too big which cannot fit into memory, then you should use Dask's inbuilt estimators to get a speedup. You can also use Dask's wrapper.Incremental which uses underlying estimator's partial_fit method to train on whole dataset but it is sequential in nature.
Dask's inbuilt estimators scale well for large datasets with variety of optimization algorithms like admm, lbfgs, gradient_descent etc. and with regularizers like L1, L2, ElasticNet etc.
