Your header is the second most important design element of your blog, #1 being your logo. You want to catch your readers attention and tell them something about your site within the first few seconds of loading. Your header is the best area to do this. What kind of header do you have? What kind of header should you have?
I have talked before about how header trends are changing. Headers used to be large and take up at least half of the screen, but now you will find all kinds of styles. Everything from the traditional to just the simple logo. These changes started because people started using the Above the Fold Theory.
This is a theory from the newspaper age: that the top half of the paper that is visible when folded should hold your most important story and photography. When this started transferring into web design people started squishing as much stuff as possible in the top of their site. All this did was to make things cluttered and destroy the beauty of the design.
Current thought has started changing. Designers realized people are getting used to scrolling and will look at the whole site. Why should we not start spreading out the elements of the design to make them easier to see and make them eye catching.
From this evolution of design we have gotten tons of new header trends. Let's take a look at the seven I found.
The traditional header is still in use, it may not be half a page anymore but it's still here. This is a great way to either tell a story, showcase your style, show off photography talent, or as above display an artistic ability.
The small header is a hybrid of the traditional header. People loved the space to showcase their photos and personality, but they wanted their visitors to be able to get straight to the content. Creating a smaller, half-sized, header will give you the best of both worlds. This is also a very popular style.
The extreme opposite of the large headers is just placing a logo at the top of your site. This gives lots of space for ads, call to action and content. The content is right at the top so visitors can jump right in and read. One nice feature of the logo only header is that it creates a clean and simple feel.
With all the added space that web designers got from loosing the large headers they realized they could create new elements. One of these elements was a section to feature the newest blog posts, favorite article, or a product (as Darren is doing on his site).
Another element created to fill up the space from the age old headers was j Query sliders. Sliders are very similar to feature sections but more dynamic and interactive. Usually you will find three to six slides that either slide automatically or by the press of a button. A slider can feature the same posts, articles, and products as a feature section, but adds more content in the same amount of space.
One of the newer trends is to create an instant call to action area. You can use this section to invite your visitors to learn more about you, to buy your book, or to try out a product. You don't see call to action sectionss on blogs as much as you do on basic web sites.
The amazing things you are now able to do with fonts in web design has created a new trend: typography. The art of typography is a big trend this year and it will be interesting to see if it continues as more fonts become available. This is also not something you see as much on blogs.
Those are the 7 trends I have seen in web design for headers. Do you have any good examples of headers that fall into these categories? Or do you have a trend that I missed?
What is your favorite header style as a reader? What is your favorite style as a web site owner?
Great article! This is a very timely piece!
Inspiring! I love looking at blog designs! It somtime gives me idea for my blog! Not that I'm able to reproduce what's in my head but anyways!
This is a really interesting post. I still feel so new to this whole blogging world, that I find I am constantly looking for more information to make my blog better. I've struggled with the idea of a logo, and I have changed my header at least four times in as many months. I'm going to take a closer look at the the 7 you have identified to see if maybe something different would look better.
Great article, Pepper. I think all the different headers play great rolls, depending on the site. Certain sites I want to get right to the point, so I want the header smaller and less obtrusive. But other sites, especially personal blogs, I enjoy a bigger header that reminds me of who they are.

and inexact mirrors of others.

Obviously, surprises aren't always good. / There are so many areas / where someone can get lost / and not even realize it until they're lost. / You did find hints along the way / – memories, but no nostalgia. / There's in you some of the stuff / that you don't want to be there. / It's like a gray alien woke you / from a normal night's sleep / and showed you the moons of Saturn, / leaving rocks in your heart. / And then it's not like that at all, / and then it is again, and then it's not, / and everything is blurred / and a million times nicer.
I would prove to be useful.

Having problems uploading audio and video in the assignment activity.
When I clic the Moodle Media icon in the HTML editor the " Insert box " appears, but without the script in the " General " field saying " Upload audio,video or applet ".
Can anyone tell how to correct that problem?


That's how I feel about my recipes too. I have to remake some of these dishes so I can write down how it's done, what to measure and how to cook it. I've been cooking for most of my life and while I might search a cookbook for inspiration, I am hardly an engineer about my cooking. So writing this blog is a fun way for me to examine my favorites so I can share them with you.
I've been asked to post more "how to" suggestions about crock potting. Here are some tried and true methods to make your meals even easier.
1. The crockpot is meant to cook everything without burning it. But, it needs enough liquid to create steam and enough contents to prevent dehydration. No one wants to eat crocked beef jerky. You can always thicken too much liquid to make gravy.
2. Frozen vegetables and meats are fine to use without thawing, but you might need to add a little cooking time to compensate.
3. It's a great idea to freeze a crockpot meal– let it cool first and then put it in a plastic container with a tight-fitted lid. I prefer ones that are more sturdy, some are even specified as freezer-friendly. Label the meal and date it. You can also put a meal in a freezer bag, lay it flat to freeze and then stand it up in the freezer to store it—- you can make a library of good meals! Most crockpot meals are fine for at least 3 months, but remember that the freezer only makes food spoil slower, it doesn't preserve foods forever.
4. Thawing a meal should take as long as it did to cook it. Take a frozen meal out at least a day ahead and put it in the refrigerator to thaw. If you want it to speed up this process, put the plastic container/freezer bag in warm water in the sink the help it thaw. You can microwave the thawed meal or put it in a pan to simmer back to life.
5.Don't refreeze meats that have already been frozen though, so cook them fresh and then freeze the entire meal.
6. Crockpot meals are great for guests and for gifts. It's ok if you don't know exactly what time your guests are arriving– crock pot beef can be done perfectly without an exact time– beef wellington in the oven cannot! Crockpot meals are also great to take to new neighbors, ill friends or new parents. You can deliver the meal fresh or frozen easily.
7. Meat to liquid ratios might vary depending if your crockpot is more vertical or more horizontal. If you want a glaze to form, make sure your meat isn't entirely covered by liquid. If you want to make pulled or stewed meat, then you need more coverage.
8. Don't just think about dinner ideas, you can crockpot any meal, side dishes, dips, drinks, sauces, jellies and desserts The possibilities are easy and endless! Please continue to visit this page often for inspiration and ideas.
Now that the crock pot seems a little more approachable, what are YOU making for dinner??

The National Council of Asian Pacific Americans Submits Policy Priorities for the 116th Congress
Washington, DC—Washington, DC—The National Council of Asian Pacific Americans (NCAPA) recently submitted to Congressional leadership and other key Congressional offices their policy priorities for the 116th Congress. The priorities reflect the collective work of all NCAPA member organizations through NCAPA's policy committees: civil rights, immigration, healthcare, education and housing and economic justice. A copy of the letter submitted to Congress can be found here.
NCAPA National Director, Gregg Orton stated:
"As this new Congress begins, we call upon Congress to recognize the voices of the AAPI community in national policy debates. We believe our perspectives are important and the policy priorities we have submitted reflect the collective work of all 33 of our member organizations. We also recognize that in today's hyper-partisan environment, progress requires a willingness to work together. We are asking Congress to work with us; and therefore welcome the opportunity to find common ground with Members on both sides of the aisle."
Based in Washington, D.C., the National Council of Asian Pacific Americans is a coalition of 34 national Asian Pacific American organizations that serves to represent the interests of Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities and to provide a national voice for our communities' concerns. Our communities are the fastest growing racial/ethnic group in the United States, currently making up approximately six percent of the population.

Obviously, you have done all the thinking and the work required, so now it is time to make the decision (an informed decision). Now you know all the features that your 4K TV should have so just pick the one which is cheap and fulfills all these demands. However, if you can do without anyone of these features and would save money rather, then you can compromise on any of these features as per your choice. Gamers should switch their 4K TV into Game mode before settling into an evening of gaming.
It is advisable to use an HDMI cable with 4K and HDR support (or a minimum bandwidth rating of 18Gbps) for the best performance with your new budget 4K TV. Why go for OLED if you can get the new QLED sets from Samsung, anyway? These new models from the South Korean brand are packed with 20% wider color gamut compared to the brand's TVs released last year. These are on par with the OLED panels, delivering brighter pictures. Samsung also made it a point to pay attention to the rear of the TV as you can now find only a single wire running down its back. The Q Series are all curved sets with different price tags.

Reimagining Global Education together: towards a more comprehensive and contextually relevant understanding for the future
by Johan Estievenart | NW 4 Inclusive Education
Global education is an emerging research theme in Finland. Although primarily framed within a European context, it is important to ensure that any form of global education is locally relevant. Within a local Finnish context, then, research done by different scholars at different institutions must be in tune with one another. With this purpose in mind, scholars from various universities in Finland met for a three-day retreat organised by the Global Education Research in Finland (GERIF-network) on 9 December 2021 at the Konnevesi research station, near the town of Jyväskylä.
Global education research, as any research topic, benefits from being mapped and made visible. This allows peers to provide feedback, while providing room to explore and consider new ideas for further research. It is particularly worthwhile for global education to be subject to a collaborative process of inquiry because of the challenges the topic holds, both ideologically as well as in more practical educational terms.
First, globalisation has proven to be an elusive concept to grasp. Some consider globalisation to be an "ideological construction", while others see globalisation as a historical process of structural change at the social, economic, political, and cultural level. From a national perspective, the way in which countries interpret globalisation determines how global education will be implemented. Because these interpretations can be greatly nuanced, global education can sometimes also be understood as international education.
Second, these implementations of global education are generally underpinned by a guiding ideological framework. This ideological foundation defines the purpose of global education according to its view and envisions what the ideal 'global citizen' would look like. Among the definition outlined in the Maastricht Global Education Declaration, there are those proposed by the OECD and UNESCO in addition to more critically oriented conceptions such as those by the Gesturing Towards Decolonial Futures research community and scholars like Vanessa Andreotti.
Because global education involves the elusive 'global' component, the need to include diverse viewpoints is essential. This is why the five workshops of the retreat were participant-led and emphasised constructive dialogue. The underlying idea of engaging in dialogue is to progress towards a common understanding of the object of discussion with the willingness to diverge from one's original viewpoints. A commitment to hear and acknowledge other perspectives is what is needed when trying to come to a common understanding of global education and to teach it in schools. Reaching a common understanding is not necessarily synonymous with reaching consensus. Rather, it is about providing equal ownership of the process of creating meaning.
Providing room for the participants to recognise their own contribution to the debate is precisely how the five workshops proceeded. The first workshop invited the participants to critically consider established definitions of global education and to reflect upon one's own understandings. Touching upon a similar theme, the second workshop probed at the limits of global education. The aim was not to set limits, or to define what global education should and should not be about, but to understand issues, one's own perspective, and others' perceptions. Listening to yourself and others fosters an awareness of what people think and why they think the way they do while also avoiding polarisation.
In a similar spirit, the third and fourth workshops explored how people, or in educational contexts, learners can co-create knowledge in collaborative learning spaces. Both workshops emphasised the value of diverse perspectives in coming to a common understanding. While the third workshop put forth the idea that the process of accommodating new knowledge coincides with a "groan phase", a moment of tension as the mind is trying to transcend its understanding, the fourth workshop focussed on intercultural dialogue.
Lastly, the fifth and final workshop revolved around the purpose of critical thinking which by now may have become somewhat of a buzzword. In relation to dialogue and collaborative knowledge creation, critical thinking has the disadvantage that it occurs primarily within the individual mind. As an alternative, organic thinking proposes a shift from anthropocentrism to a more connected form of thinking that involves others and the environment as a whole. As such, thinking becomes a collective activity that converges to a common understanding.
In summary, the retreat proposes the following key positionalities:
All knowledge is incomplete and can be questioned.
Acknowledging that diverse perspectives can help overcome obstacles.
Knowledge and knowledge-creation is contextual.
Transcending anthropocentric thinking by shifting to organic thinking.
The combination of dialogue and a shared purpose can help us question established definitions of global education, not to add to the list of definitions or dictate the norms, but to encourage the development of inclusive and contextually-relevant approaches to knowledge-creation that ultimately contribute to a more just, peaceful, and environmentally friendly global society.

GENE Awards
EERA is delighted and honoured to be partnering with the Global Educational Network in Europe (GENE) to make significant research funds available to our members to further research in the area of global education.
These research awards are funded by Global Education Network Europe (GENE), the European network of Ministries and Agencies with national responsibility for policymaking, funding, and support in the field of Global Education. For this reason, the subject area for research projects undertaken is that of Global Education.
The purpose of the award is to support quality research around the themes outlined here – which have been identified as of interest to policymakers. Gathering of existing research, application of existing research from other areas of education to Global Education, follow-up studies, all are perfectly acceptable. It is not expected that the research has to draw policy conclusions – but to make available up-to-date, policy-relevant research from which policymaker can draw their own conclusions.

The first stop on our tour is Dülük Park, stretching from one of the world's earliest ancient settlements, Doliche, to the beautiful Hızır Plateau which is surrounded by the Amanos Mountains. As you walk through the park, you will see all around you the remains and artefacts from past civilizations, including the latest findings from Gaziantep's Yesemek Open Air Museum and Sculpture Workshop which is on the World Cultural Heritage list.
Dülük Park lies 8 km from the city centre. Dülük (Doliche), inhabited from the Palaeolithic Age until today, was a religious centre in ancient times; now it is a place of both historical value and great natural beauty.
Dülük Park, which covers an area of 40 square kilometres to the northwest of Gaziantep, is one of Turkey's largest wood areas and is home to a bio-lake, the Dülük monks' burial ground, a temple and water cistern, the tomb of Dülükbaba, the Jupiter Dolichenus Sanctuary, picnic areas and adventure areas. In short, Dülük Park is a popular place for the people of Gaziantep to enjoy a barbecue on sunny days, appealing to both nature lovers and to those with an interest in history and archaeology.
Roughly 500 m from the entrance to Dülük Park lies the bio-lake, adding extra charm to the natural beauty of the oxygen-rich area which is covered in black pine and cedar trees. The arboretum surrounding the bio-lake offers a place to relax amongst the mass of colourful plants, far away from the stresses of the city.
The 5,200 m2 lake is Turkey's largest bio-lake. The arboretum surrounding the lake has 255 different species of flora, with a total of 11,335 individual plants. The cleaning of the lake water is done not with chemical products but by using biological methods, a system which was used in the construction of the lake.
The wooden terrace of the lake-side cafe, built on 5 levels, offers a place to relax and enjoy the view of the lake, or to have a picnic. The cafe serves traditional Gaziantep food as well as other tempting dishes from Turkish and world cuisine.
The sports activity section of the park lies 1 km to the right of the aerated lake. This section contains a Scouting and Nature Sports Camp with ropes course, climbing wall, pentathlon track and zipline.
From behind the climbing wall, follow the brown signs saying rock tombs in a north-easterly direction for 2 km and you will come to the Dülük monks' burial ground. To get to the necropolis, follow the rough path that leads to the upper part of the park. After 8 minutes' drive from the Rope Trail you will come to the burial ground which has wire fencing around its entire 5,000 m2 area. The paths have been laid with keystones making it easy to walk amongst the tombs. Excavation of the necropolis has revealed 18 rock tombs, with huge circular stones being used as doors. These huge stones now lie either in the doorways or upside down on the ground. The most salient of the rock tombs are No. 8, which houses a carved sarcophagus with a festoon motif on the front, and No. 17, with its pillar and relief depicting a monk at the entrance.
Approximately 1 km to the right of the monks' burial ground lies the rock temple area and water cistern. The area can be reached by vehicle along a narrow, rough road lined with trees. For safety reasons, the water cistern, which can fill with rain water, sits behind iron railings. The temple, thought to date from the Late Roman period, lies immediately next to the water cistern. It is presumed that the niches located in the large area in front of the rock temple were used to illuminate the area for meetings, held prior to religious ceremonies, and that the alcoves that can be seen within the temple were used to hold offerings to the gods.
Heading east for about 400 m from the temple, you will find the tomb of Dülükbaba, who was thought to be a sahaba (disciple of the prophet Mohammed), killed during the conquest of Gaziantep. With the real name Davud Ejder, this sahaba is buried at the summit of Dülükbaba Hill. By managing and clearing the area surrounding this tomb, it is important that it is recognised as a place of religious interest which is well worth visiting. The path to this area where the tomb is located, also known as Transmitter Hill because of the radio transmitter located on top of the hill, is a demanding one, but it is possible to reach the tomb through all the brambles. The edges of the tomb are indicated by a stone which has been placed on a drainage pipe.About 200 m east of this, you come to the Jupiter Dolichenus sanctuary, located on Dülükbaba Hill. Jupiter Dolichenus was widely worshipped during the time of the Roman Empire and evidence of this starts at Dülükbaba Hill, and continues on through North Africa, the shores of the Rhine, the Danube and on to England. The archaeological remains from the ancient city of Doliche, from where the god took his name, not only show the importance of the city during the period of classical antiquity but also shed light on its history during the Middle Ages. Since 2002, an international research team, led by the Asia Minor Research Centre, have been excavating the sanctuary. The 30,000 m2 area on the top of Dülükbaba Hill has a total of 11 open trenches.
Roughly 1 km west of the Jupiter Dolichenus Temple, on Dülükbaba Hill, lies a rocky area where you will find the burial ground for the temple officials. Within the burial ground there are 18 tombs of different sizes and structures.
The tombs are accessed via descending steps. Large, circular stones stand across the doorways, and inside the tombs are sarcophagi decorated with festoon motifs. Some of the recesses within the tombs have been carved in the shape of sarcophagi. Some of the circular stones which were rolled across the entrances to act like a door have survived until the present day.
The sanctuary of the god Jupiter Dolichenus lies on Dülükbaba Hill, 3 km southwest of Dülük town. During the first 300 years AD, the religious cult spread from this dominating hilltop to other important cities of the time. Dülükbaba Hill is one of the rare sites within the Southeast Anatolia region where religious activities have taken place continuously, from 1000 BC to the time when Christianity became active in the period of late antiquity. The site has revealed Hellenistic remains, and, beneath these, remains from an even earlier age, making it possible to gather information about not only the most important god of the Roman Empire, but also about the region's rich religious history.
The numerous small artefacts dating from the Roman period and earlier found as a result of the excavations give important information on the Jupiter Dolichenus cult. The most important of these are several hundred necklace beads, stamps and cylinder seals dating from the 6th to 5th century BC. Excavations also point to the existence of an important monastery at the summit of the hill from the late antiquity period until the time of the Crusades.

When we were young, our parents often lectured us about cleaning our plates because they said there were children in China who didn't have enough to eat. I suppose my mother and father could identify with them because they grew up during the Great Depression and knew what it was like to go to bed hungry.
So why should we, in our suburban self-satisfaction, waste so much?
Up and down our street and every street, the rallying cry of parents was "clean your plate." When you didn't clean your plate, punishments were exacted without the benefit of due process because as kids we weren't protected under the Constitution.
You couldn't leave the table unless you cleaned your plate, and very often I'd be sitting there, looking forlorn as I moved pieces of liver and broccoli around with my fork, long after my mother, father, sisters and the dog were gone. The dog knew enough not to hang around waiting for scraps because by that time they were pretty disgusting. She had bigger fish to fry.
In a last desperate attempt at freedom, I'd chew the pieces of liver, pretend to swallow but secretly stuff them in my napkin, hoping no one noticed. They usually didn't and life went on as usual until the next showdown over brussels sprouts or spinach. Why couldn't we just have a meal of Lays Potato Chips, Good Humor ice cream and Krispy Kreme Doughnuts?
All that drama at the dinner table had a lasting effect on me. Now, I eat everything on my plate, even food I don't particularly care for like lamb, creamed corn, beets and sea bass. I don't eat them because they're good for me, but because it was drilled into me that cleaning your plate was the patriotic thing to do, even before Donald Trump.
The younger generation doesn't understand the precept of Founding Father Ben Franklin, who said, "Waste not, want not." He was a pretty hefty guy who obviously enjoyed a good meal or three.
Two of my daughters never finish their drinks and constantly leave half-consumed cups of coffee, bottles of water and glasses of wine around the house.
Plus, they're obsessed with expiration dates, another cause of waste in America. With my wife leading the charge, they'll conduct pantry raids and toss out everything from ramen noodles and cashews to soup and canned vegetables, even before the "sell by" or "best if used by" date.
Another daughter claimed her penne was undercooked and nibbled around the edges of her plate. My wife ate half of her roasted chicken and took the rest home. She put it in the refrigerator, where it stayed for days until I noticed it was growing another leg and decided to toss it before it broke free and took us hostage. My son-in-law didn't like his veal and fed it to my grandson. The only clean plate was mine.
Furthermore, they all complained about their meals, violating a fundamental principle: When the old man is picking up the tab, keep your mouth shut, pretend you've having a good time and clean your plate.
The veal, the gnocchi, the penne and the chicken are emblematic of a bigger national problem. We're wasteful. In fact, we waste millions of tons of food even before it reaches our plate. From 30% to 40% of our food supply goes uneaten, and almost half of all produce is thrown out — 60 million tons worth an estimated $160 billion. Discarded food takes up 20% of our landfills. We need to change. Maybe then fewer people will go to bed hungry.

Everything works fine except one problem: when store loads suggestions and list is shown/reloaded (if was visible already), then combobox loses focus and user cannot write anymore. I've tried to set focus manualy (after store load) and it works but there are some 'flashes' when combobox does not have focus and manualy focus-setting wasn't proceeded yet. So when user will press key while this 'flash' then pressed letter is omitted (especially when user uses backspace for delete letters and press backspace key while 'flash' then browser goes to previous page which is terrible). I think that I've write this livesearch combobox exactly like in sencha examples. Am I missing something?
With which specific version of ExtJS are you seeing this (e.g. 4.2.1)? Any chance you can post a Fiddle so we can better see what might be going on?


2018 Range Rover Discovery, Performance, Design, Specs – On Wed, Range Rover declared an Ingenium motor repower for their 2018 Finding Activity and Range Rover Evoque. Both 2018 designs will be available with a 2.0L I-4 Ingenium Si4 motor generating 237 hp or 286 hp. The 286hp Si4 is the most highly effective motor ever provided on either design and comes conventional with a highly effective body kit focusing the "sport" in a sport-utility automobile. The new motor update represents a significant increase in attraction for the Evoque, now competitive with Rolls Royce, Rolls Royce, and BMW for the top dog chair in the high-class lightweight SUV market. Range Rover's new fresh gas motor technological innovation also means better usage and better efficiency for both automobiles.
The Ingenium powertrain family is created at the billion-dollar Jaguar Range Rover Engine Production Center in Wolverhampton, U.K., together with other Ingenium google such as the 380 hp revved-up V-6 for Jaguar's F-Pace SUV. The Ingenium fresh gas efficiency google is a part of a greater plan by Jaguar Range Rover to lessen as well as pollutants while improving efficiency for its automobiles.

Making Truth-clarification Phone Calls to China
Aug. 13, 2021 | By a Falun Dafa practitioner in Europe
(Minghui.org) I began to practice Falun Dafa more than two years ago. I would like to share my experience of making truth-clarification phone calls to China on the RTC platform over the past year.
Breaking Through Obstacles: Persisting in Making Phone Calls
I started making phone calls on the RTC platform in the spring of 2020. For a long time, I felt cold and shivered when doing it. I thought it was the weather, but I was not cold doing other things. I realized bad things in other dimensions were trying to stop me from saving people, so I turned up the heat, and put on more clothing. The situation lasted for a while and improved.
Another problem was that I was a quiet person and didn't know how to make conversation, and was afraid of approaching strangers. In the beginning, the problem was very obvious because I had not cultivated long enough and done truth-clarification.
However, Master encouraged me and tempered me from the moment I decided to walk this path. In the beginning, I often met people who were very gentle and talked with me for more than half an hour, so I had no excuse to say I couldn't talk. It wasn't until later when I shared experiences with fellow practitioners that I realized Master had paved the most suitable and fulfilling path for me right from the beginning!
Gradually, I ran into people displaying a bad attitude, which could be very irritating. For example, some people cursed me non-stop and refused to let me get in a word edgewise. Most of the time I realized that this was to improve my xinxing, so I was able to adjust my mentality, although it was not that easy to smile.
People picked up the phone, listened to one sentence, cursed, and hung up immediately. My first thought was to be upset. There were people who pretended to have heard about Falun Dafa in the past. They looked for a fight and wasted a lot of time and energy of mine. In the end, they would shout an evil party slogan or abusive language.
If I did not look at these incidents as opportunities to look inward to improve my xinxing, but instead brushed them aside and did not want to talk about them if I thought they were isolated cases with a small probability of occurrence, or if I forced myself to swallow it, and so on, these would accumulate and become unpleasant memories that keep surfacing in my mind and would create a strong fear and aversion to people. This might prevent me from making truth-clarification phone calls.
At first, I thought I was reluctant to call because I was afraid of being sworn at or ridiculed, or being disliked or disrespected. Sometimes negative thoughts popped up, and I would question myself why I chose to clarify the truth through the way that I was least good at – talking.
As I continued to study the Fa, and through Master's hints on other matters, I finally understood the root cause of my reluctance. I was selfish and felt my fake self's anger and resentment towards sentient beings. It was an act of self-protection which I was good at – this was out of selfishness.
Upon this realization, I tried to stop looking at it from my perspective but looked at it from a different angle. I found it was quite praiseworthy for people to pick up the phone showing an unfamiliar overseas number. They may be on guard or worried thinking that an unscrupulous person was on the other line. They may use a harsh tone for self-protection, or simply assume that the call is from an unprincipled person and do things to save face.
In today's fraud-ridden mainland China, people who can answer the phone are already very brave and should be cherished. Moreover, their poor attitude and choice of words were an indication that they have been poisoned too much by the evil party, and that they were in grave danger and needed rescue.
With this righteous thought, I began to have confidence, which has also greatly helped my personal practice, although my attachment was not completely removed.
Another reason that prevented me from making truth-clarification phone calls was that, in the beginning, I focused on smoothing the script, because I was inexperienced, and I didn't have the extra energy to pay attention to the other party's issues or problems. My mood fluctuated, but my mentality was fine.
Soon, due to the epidemic, a large number of practitioners from various countries joined the project, so the platform arranged training and assigned me to be an assistant.
At first I was happy that I had a "title," but after a period of time I found I had not made much progress in clarifying the truth, and in fact fell far behind others in terms of tone, kindness, and wisdom. I felt inferior and guilty as a trainer. The attachment lingered and prevented me from picking up the phone.
As I continued to study the Fa, and through Master's hints on other things, I realized that regardless of a practitioner or a non-practitioner, one's life and social environment have been arranged, and the karmic relationship determined loss and gain.
I realized the vows we took prior to descending to the world had determined how we validate the Fa and clarify the truth today, which may come naturally, seem to be earned, appears to be forced on me by others, or happens coincidentally.
Each individual's path of cultivation is different, and each Dafa practitioner has a different way of validating the Fa, all of which are unique, but the basis are the same, all embody the purpose of cultivating xinxing, assisting Master to do Fa-rectification, and saving sentient beings.
We should cherish the environment we validate the Fa in, which must be the most suitable way for us to cultivate. Because we made the vow in the first place, and if we don't do well or don't persist in doing it, we are not fulfilling our vow.
I think a deep-rooted reason was that I was very rigid and couldn't develop a smooth flow in my truth clarification. While in school, I was trying to understand how the questioners and the writers thought, so as to better absorb knowledge. But I was merely doing "mechanical memorizing," not able to think outside the textbook.
Today, the problem easily stood out in my truth-clarification. There is no "standard answer" to the questions from the other end of the phone. It wouldn't work by reading out loud or memorizing the materials summarized by fellow practitioners. I must really absorb them, and use what I have learned to inspire the other person.
Often times I realized I was impatient and hasty, thinking the principle was so simple that I didn't need to explain. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why I usually don't like to talk, which has inadvertently created some unnecessary misunderstandings.
Recently, under Master's compassionate arrangement, I have witnessed several cases in which problems were solved by opening one's heart and communicating with others. This has inspired me a lot. In the past I had overlooked validating Dafa by talking with people, from now on I will use one more powerful approach.
Making Phone Calls
I had no previous experience in clarifying the truth. I had collected some materials from the Minghui website, but the materials were so diverse that I got lost and didn't know where to start. I had the privilege of attending a weekly training on the RTC platform, which helped me simplify the truth-clarification content and organize it into several reasonable and logical sections.
The weekly training did not cover much on paper, it basically helped everyone analyze and understand the materials sentence by sentence, for example, why this sentence and story was told, what the purpose was, or how to remember this part in chronological order, and so on. It was very concise and effective. With a logical idea in mind, I gradually knew where to start. In addition, there was training on solving typical problems, which was a great help for newbies like me.
There were daily small-group review and practice sessions, which were very helpful. The trainer practitioners were very responsible in encouraging us to log onto the RTC platform to make phone calls, which helped me to overcome timidity as soon as possible.
In addition, it gives suggestions and comments in a small group. I have learned a lot by listening to others making phone calls, especially learning their techniques in answering tough questions.
Of course, one's righteous thoughts and mindset are key in making phone calls.
One day, I started off without good xinxing. I paused, looked inward, and developed righteous thoughts. As my mindset improved, I was very patient, and wisdom helped me understand what to do. After speaking with a lady for an hour and 16 minutes, she not only withdrew from the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) and its youth organizations but also showed interest in learning the Dafa exercises.
It was a young lady. As soon as she found out I wanted her to quit the Youth League and Young Pioneers, she said, "Our life is so good now," implying she was giving credits to the Party.
I said, "We do have washing machines, refrigerators, cell phones, and computers nowadays, and our life is indeed quite good. Not only do you say so, but people outside China also say so, too, because they did not have these things in the past, either.
"They are grateful to the industrial revolution which made it possible for so many modern machines to be invented. If you want to thank somebody, it is the scientists who deserve it better. It has nothing to do with the CCP.
"Besides, our country is not scientifically developed, and we have to study in western countries to learn things. On the contrary, what would you say China is most known for, the cheapest labor. Now our life is better, but it is because of people's hard-earned money."
She said sternly, "In that case, you should stay in America and never come back." I told her I believe China is the best because Chinese culture has 5,000 years of history, which beats any nation, but China's officials have embezzled people's hard-earned money and moved it abroad while behaving high-sounding on TV and they claim how bad foreign countries are.
I told her the news pieces about officials doing an inspection at places that were all staged and fake. I gave her an example. A friend of mine in the public sector described to me that, an official was admonishing his subordinates to adhere to such-and-such view, and hold high the such-and-such banner. But, he was holding on his arm a prostitute that the property's owner had provided for him.
She couldn't find anything to argue with me about this topic and turned to talk about the Second Sino-Japanese war. I told her the only documented large-scale battles the CCP had participated in were the "Battle of Pingxingguan" and the "Hundred Regiments Offensive."
I told her the CCP was not the main force in the Battle of Pingxingguan - it merely ambushed the enemy's supply troops; and the "Hundred Regiments Offensive" was considered to have violated the CCP's strategic guidelines (of not revealing its forces), which was one of Peng Dehuai's crimes.
Then I told her that it was well documented that Chiang Kai-shek's National Revolutionary Army suffered more than three million deaths in the Second Sino-Japanese War, including more than 200 generals, suffered heavy losses in both its army and air force, and lost all its naval ships. Then, I told her the CCP's origin, from Marx to the Soviet Union, and to today's CCP.
She changed the subject and joked that I was a robot and that she was a robot too. I began to lose patience and my attachment was surfacing. Thankfully my righteous thoughts were strong, and thanks to Master's strengthening, I immediately realized it and adjusted myself.
I told her, "The CCP wants to be in charge of heaven and earth, and it wants to be in charge of you even if you are a robot, so you must quit the party. In fact, the CCP would love that all Chinese people were robots so it can do whatever it wants to them."
It occurred to me she was a businesswoman, so I said, "I wish your business to prosper and enjoy great popularity, because you are a kind person." I heard a baby crying, so I figured she was a young mother.
I said, "The CCP now makes people worship money, and the morality has declined. In hospitals, if you don't bribe the doctors and nurses, they will not treat you well; at school, if you don't bribe the teachers, and sign up the paid after-school tutorial classes, the teachers will not treat your child well. You wouldn't dare to buy just any brand of infant formula, and anyone who has the means would buy it from abroad."
I continued, "We are of the same age. In our grandparents' generation, the CCP launched various political campaigns, and everyone was affected and is scared of poverty. In our parents' generation, the CCP intensified its political campaigns by carrying out the Cultural Revolution. That was not all, because it then started Family Planning, which meant killing babies.
"In our generation, most of us are an only child. We have to support a number of elders all by ourselves. Now, the evil party realizes the population is aging, so it is encouraging people to give birth to the second and third child.
"Growing up spoiled as the only child, our generation is not the typical breadwinner of our family. In addition, we cannot afford a house due to the sky-high property prices. With the cost of raising a child that is so ridiculously high, we dare not buy inexpensive infant formulas for the fear of melamine contamination.
"Therefore, generations of Chinese people have been persecuted by the evil party. Generations of Chinese people are suffering, just in different ways."
I persuaded her to quit the Youth League and Young Pioneers, and she agreed. I went on to clarify the truth about Dafa. I told her about the staged "Tiananmen self-immolation" and live organ harvesting.
She asked me some questions, for example, could you be a good person by following the law? I told her laws only restrain people on the surface. People can break the law when they are not seen, and people can ignore the law and bribe others, and so on. But Dafa elevates morality from one's core.
She was truly saved, my fellow practitioners and I were happy for her. At the same time, I have experienced the power of righteous thoughts with a pure mind.
In the process of making truth-clarification phone calls, if I based myself on selfishness and focused on my own feelings, the negative substances such as anger and resentment would be strengthened even more.
When I try to put myself in the shoes of other people and keep their suffering in mind, or when I think of how precious the saved sentient beings will be in the future, although I can't quite reject negative thoughts at their first occurrence yet, I will try my best to do so. Sometimes I encounter extremely kind people, I think that was Master encouraging me to go on.
Thank you, our esteemed Master! I will advance vigorously and fulfill my prehistoric vow!

Q: Capturar evento click de un botón en Fragment desde Activity Tengo un Activity, y dentro de éste un Fragment con un Button y un EditText para "recoger" texto.
Quiero capturar el evento del Buttón desde el Activity pero no me llega a cargar el Fragment, la APP se cierra.
Código del Activity:
public class EstadisticasActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

Fragment insertarJugadaFragment;
ImageButton ibInsertarJugada;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_estadisticas);

    insertarJugadaFragment = new InsertarJugadaFragment();

    // Cargar el fragment inicial (InsertarJugadaFragment)
    getSupportFragmentManager()
            .beginTransaction()
            .add(R.id.contenedor_fragmentos_estadisticas, insertarJugadaFragment)
            .commit();

    //ibInsertarJugada = insertarJugadaFragment.getView().findViewById(R.id.ibInsertarJugada);
    ibInsertarJugada = findViewById(R.id.ibInsertarJugada);
    ibInsertarJugada.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            Toast.makeText(EstadisticasActivity.this, "Has hecho click", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    });

}

¿Cómo puedo gestionar dicho evento?, ¿es posible?

A: En tu fragment puedes crear una variable de tipo View.OnClickListener y en el onCreateView pasar esa variable como parámetro del setOnClickListener del botón, así:
public class BlankFragment extends Fragment {

    public View.OnClickListener listener;

    public BlankFragment() {
        // Required empty public constructor
    }

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                             Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        // Inflate the layout for this fragment
        View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_blank, container, false);

        Button boton = v.findViewById(R.id.button2);

        boton.setOnClickListener(listener);

        return v;
    }

En la Activity se crea la instancia del fragment y luego se crea una instancia del View.OnClickListener y se le asigna a la variable que se declaró en el fragment:
 //instancia del fragment
   BlankFragment fragment = new BlankFragment();

//inicializar la variable listener con una instancia de OnClickListener
fragment.listener = new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
               Toast.makeText(Main2Activity.this, "boton presionado", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                }
            };

People with type-D personality tend to have a negative outlook on life and suppress their feelings. They're also likely to be reserved and socially inhibited.
David's left arm is squarely wrapped around his son's narrow frame, his smile classic dad-pride: tight-lipped and composed in the way that fathers smile around sons they don't want to embarrass with sincere displays of emotion, even as their less inhibited children smile, the way Nic does, as if happy laughter isn't far behind.
You might see the in- at the beginning of inhibit and ask yourself: would someone who can express their thoughts and feelings freely therefore be "hibited?" The answer is no—because the in at the beginning of inhibit is not a negative prefix.
Inhibit was borrowed into English in its whole form from the Latin verb inhibēre. The in- part is a Latin prefix, meaning "in" rather than "not," that combined with the verb habēre ("to have").
There is something exhilarating about seeing an artist have so much uninhibited fun, truly lost in the soundscapes of her own music.
The Dodgers play baseball like they cut a rug: uninhibited, boldly and with contributions from plenty of unexpected sources.
So when it come to using uninhibited, you have no reason to hold back.

I see no reason that you couldn't gang them. Does it really matter what it takes to turn on/off. You would just flip your logic as required.

First Quality already employs more than 625 people at its Anderson plant.
When the company said in May 2010 that it intended to invest $1 billion and create 1,000 jobs in Anderson County over the course of the next decade, that was the largest economic development investment in the county's history.
"They always under promise and over deliver," said Burriss Nelson, the county's economic development director, in a recent interview.
The company just launched a new paper-making machine in Anderson in May. In the announcement Monday, the company said the newest machine will be operational in Anderson by the second half of 2018. The new machine that is planned for the Pennsylvania plant is expected to begin production in the first half of 2019.
"Our company is honored to be a part of the Anderson and Lock Haven communities and extremely proud of the operations we have built together," First Quality said in its prepared statement. "We have witnessed the positive impact our company has had on these U.S. towns — transforming dormant factories into state-of-the-art facilities which have created over 1,000 jobs that have provided exceptional employment opportunities to local community residents."
When First Quality expanded its operations in 2014, Anderson County was asked to consider a modified incentives agreement for the company. Under the modified agreement, First Quality agreed to pay $980,000 a year as a fee in lieu of taxes on its first $700 million in investment. It is not yet clear how the latest proposed expansion will affect First Quality's incentives agreement. Burns referred that question to Nelson, who could not be reached Monday evening.
First Quality officials also did not respond to requests for comment about the latest expansion.
The company has recently enlarged its philanthropic footprint in Anderson.
In April, First Quality announced that it plans to donate $250,000 to Anderson University over a five-year period. The money will be used for the new G. Ross Anderson Jr. Student Center. Burns said First Quality also recently agreed to start donating all the paper supplies needed at the county's animal shelter. The shelter is known as Pets Are Worth Saving, or PAWS.

DAY EIGHTY THREE Surfing and Symbols
We have just finished lunch in Munich's Englischer Garten, a rather heavy meal of Obatzter - two parts soft cheese (Romadur or all too often these days, Camembert) and one part butter mixed to a smooth paste with paprika, onions, garlic, horseradish, cloves and caraway – with a splash of beer and just a little cream. Best eaten with pretzels and an oxygen cylinder within easy reach.
We did take some vicarious exercise, though, watching the surfers on the Eisbach Wave. To disrupt a viciously fast flow, some huge concrete blocks were dropped into the man-made river in the Garten and they unintentionally created an ongoing wave one metre high and ten metres wide. Now you can surf on what is genuinely dangerous water in the middle of Europe.
The Eisbach Wave (c)wikicommons
It might have been the youth of the surfers or perhaps the crest on our menu but, unbidden, the memory rose of a squalid terraced house in the Midlands that had on the parlour wall a wooden shield painted with an oak tree. I was there making a film about the support available to pregnant teenagers. Unusually in this case, the father was still around - a boy of 19 (the girl was 16). The boy was a bodybuilder and had a history of parental abuse, violence and abandonment. His determination that his child would have something better expressed itself in the shield he had painted: he would be an oak in his child's life.
The boy was uneducated and acting on some deep instinct that understood the power of symbols to influence behaviour. He had created what is recognised as an 'ideological symbol', a pointer to the right thing to do.
Symbols are also often simple identifiers. For people with learning disabilities, symbols bring meaning to words; for drivers speeding on the motorway, they give instant instruction. In 800 AD you would have known that a parchment sealed with the Imperial Eagle was a missive from Charlemagne, the first Holy Roman Emperor. You would also have recognised its ideological aspect and obeyed accordingly.
No image of Charlemagne's coat of arms - this is Henry IV's of 1169 (c)wikipedia
Three and a half centuries later Charlemagne's successors - Henry IV being the eighteenth Emperor - were still using the eagle. And in 1950, modern-day Germany adopted a national symbol that looked very much the same - the Bundesadler (the Federal eagle). Chancellor Konrad Adenauer announced: 'the Federal coat of arms on a gold-yellow shield shows the one headed black eagle, the head turned to the right, the wings open but with closed feathering, beak, tongue and claws of red colour'. Modern Germany had chosen to replicate what had also been the symbol of the Weimar Republic to stress democratic continuity. But one can't help but find continuity with Charlemagne and hear in the cry of the eagle echoes of the victory two millennia ago when the great German hero Hermann stopped the Roman advance into Germany.
The Bundesadler of both the Weimar Republic and modern Germany since 1950 (c)wikicommons
To imply continuity in symbolism from Charlemagne to Federal Germany is, of course, historically reprehensible. "Germany" and its symbols have passed through so many incarnations in the last 1300 years. The nation's history is littered with shape-shifting seals and shields of ruling princes, noble families, comfortable burghers, guilds, peasants, corporations, and, latterly, national governments - East, West and now unified.
Towns and cities always had a shield and a seal. When Munich was founded in the fourteenth century, the crest represented the city's founders – Benedictine monks. (The word Munich derives from the old German word Munichen, monks). The earliest known city seal dates from 28th May 1239 and shows a monk wearing an open hood, holding a book (probably the Bible) with one hand while the other hand has three fingers raised in blessing.
Munich city seal (c)wikicommons
The monk as central to Munich's symbolism has enjoyed an extraordinary persistence, though seen at times hooded, bare-headed, curly-headed, old and since the nineteenth century, young - a Münchner Kindl (Munich child, in the local dialect) dressed in Benedictine robes.
After Napoleon established the Kingdom of Bavaria, King Maximilian removed the monk from Munich's crest and replaced him with a gold lion holding a sword in one paw and a shield emblazoned with "M" for Maximilian in the other. The citizens resisted and within a decade, the shield was recast to show the head of a monk.

Munich had the misfortune to be significant to the Nazis. Misfortune because the average support for Hitler from Bavarians in the four relevant Reichstag elections was just 22.5%. But in Munich, Hitler had attempted his first coup; here the National Socialist Party was headquartered; and here the Nazis built the first concentration camp, Dachau. Such was Nazi affection for the city that they named it Hauptstadt der Bewegung (capital of the movement). And they gave the city a new shield: the monk remained but he now stood in the gate of a castle topped by the Nazis' version of the imperial eagle.
Munich's present-day shield is cheerful: the monk is there, looking quite happily androgynous, framed by a castellated gate topped by the gold lion of the House of Wittelsbach, the ancient ruling family.
Munich's coat of arms today (c)wikicommons
I don't like it. It's not my business, of course, but it seems flat and one-dimensional, not right for a city as deep and vibrant as Munich is today. The designer, Edouard Ege, was very eminent - he was responsible for the Deutsche Bundesbahn logo which was used on the Federal Railway from 1955 to 1993, for the coat of arms of Bavaria itself, for stamps for the German Federal Post Office and for the Ege Font (below).
We went to see more of his work yesterday - for a residential complex, the Borstei, built in the late 1920s by Bernhard Borst who had bought 90,000 square metres of Munich and wanted to build an estate within the city that was far in advance of other housing projects. "The basic idea for the Borstei was to relieve the housewife", he said in May 1929. And he did his best - central heating, a laundry service, vacuum cleaners, 'dust removal rooms' where you shook out your blankets and carpets, a shopping service, telephone exchange, heated garages (with washing facilities), storage rooms for prams and bicycles, bathrooms with bidets and well-equipped kitchens - advantages not shared by many homes, other than those of the rich.

Borst also believed in the transformative power of art and he employed the best artists that he could. To this day, people tour the Borstei as though it were an art gallery. One of his artists was Edouard Ege whom he commissioned to design the lettering, numbers and signage across the estate.

Walt Disney World showed the Associated Press what it takes to put their shows together, offering a rare peek behind the curtains of the fantasy.
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — With excitement building over a new "Star Wars" land opening later this year at Walt Disney World, as well as at its California cousin, it's easy to forget a slew of new entertainment shows also are debuting in the biggest year for the Florida theme park resort in two decades.
If the famous Disney Imagineers provide the "wow" factor with their fantastical feats of engineering on rides and attractions, it's the entertainment division that provides Disney World's heart.
The results of those labors take stage Friday when Disney World unveils a new Magic Kingdom parade, a Hollywood Studios street showing off the characters from "The Incredibles" franchise, a Caribbean-style street band in Animal Kingdom and the start of an arts festival at Epcot. In a few months, the resort opens a new animatronics show based on the "Cars" character Lightning McQueen.
Here's a look at the behind-the-scenes people who produce the pixie dust. Many of them started out as performers and have been at Disney World for decades.
Bettina Buckley oversees the entertainment division's 6,700 workers in 100 different disciplines responsible for more than 200,000 performances a year at the resort.
"If a character resonates, we stop and say, 'Hey, maybe we should do something,'" said Buckley, vice president of live entertainment at the resort.
"It's a one-hour variety show. We kind of can't let people see it because it's really wacky and funny," Jones said.
Joseph Greggory "GG" Cook makes sure the ideas that "the dreamers" come up with can actually work. "I am the rubber that meets the road," said Cook, manager of theatrical design and technical production.
He is helped by a darkened "pre-visualization" room where two large screens and a virtual reality headset help him see what shows will look like in a 3D model, and how they will be maintained, before they are built.
Harmony McChesney has a piece of Velcro in her purse at all times. When it's time to test a fabric's durability, she rubs the Velcro against the fabric. If it snags, "I say, this doesn't belong to us. It's not our friend," said McChesney, a costume designer with big glasses, auburn hair swept up and large costume jewelry.

The immigrant experience isn't the kind of monolithic thing that can actually be described using definite articles like "the." It's not as if every immigrant's entry into a new culture follows a singular, well-trod path. The circumstances of each individual's introduction to and incorporation into a new national heritage are as diverse and variegated as the expatriated themselves. Still, there are certain commonalities that often crop up in every new experience — every immigrating instance — whether moving from one nation to another or simply moving from L.A. to Seattle. Or taking a new job or attending a new school.
What Shaun Tan does in The Arrival — and does marvelously — is propose a cross-section of these immigrant experiences in such a way that even the reader who has never breached his own comfort zone might empathize. Tan offers to involve the curious into an experience that is confusing, disorienting, and alienating. That is, Tan wants to make us all immigrants for the space of his book. And he succeeds wildly.
The Arrival, for all its pages filled with complicated, detailed artwork, plays only one note. It has only one theme, only one agenda. The Arrival is simple and will not be distracted from its only purpose. To say that Tan's book plays one note should not be confused for saying that the book is one-note in any pejorative sense. It may not juggle two fistfuls of interweaving themes and character arcs. It may not demand seven consecutive reads in order to discover its meanings. It doesn't need to. The Arrival does what it intends to and does it so very well that it doesn't need anything else. In fact, the addition of more plot elements or thematic directions would probably only serve to detract from the compelling work that Tan has delivered.
The Arrival follows the experiences of a man who leaves his wife and daughter behind in order to pave a new path and new fortune for them in a land brimming with possibilities. He's abandoned a country beset by grave ills but his road through his new home is anything but smooth. He does not speak the language, does not recognize the customs, and misses his family terribly. He is a man lost and Tan pulls the reader into his experience first by making the book silent, cutting all dialogue or narration. Then, mounting on this already sturdy platform of alienation, Tan introduces a world filled with bizarre contraptions, foods, sciences, and rituals — and then asks us shuffle along with his protagonist. It's wondrous and frustrating all at once. We feel for the poor immigrant because if it's hard on us (outside the book with no investment greater than personal interest), then it's exponentially more difficult for him, with his wife and child and their survival on the line.
Silent comics have long struck me as a gimmick. One of the first Marvel comics I ever bought was G.I. Joe #21. It was called "Silent Interlude" and had no dialogue. As a young, inexperienced comics reader, I found it baffling and wondered if every G.I. Joe book was similarly quiet. The book demonstrated to me, even as a young reader, that silent comics were a cheap trick. This conclusion was drilled into me several times over the years as I encountered a handful of other silent books (e.g., the Spider-Man response to September 11th, 2001, Korgi, Eric Drooker's Bloodsong, the silent work of Jason, etc.). None of these seemed to use silence to any narratively purposeful end and in none of these cases was the story magnified by its lack of words. The Arrival is the first work I've read in which silence is essential to the experience. Tan uses the absence of dialogue, narrative balloons, or sound effects to propel his story and any verbal addition would doubtlessly hinder his purpose.
The Arrival is one of the very best comics experiences I've ever encountered and is well worth your time.


For argument's sake, let's say you have a clear idea of what self confidence is, and you appreciate that you already have everything it takes to become more self confident.
The next question is: why is it important to have self confidence? And why is it worth your time, effort, and energy to develop greater confidence in yourself?
Why do I want to be more confident?
One of the most important things for you to understand about self confidence is that it is a great and useful thing to have, but not the 'right' thing to have. Indeed, just like it's neither right nor wrong for a glass to be full of water or for a glass to be empty, it's neither right nor wrong to be full of self confidence or to lack self confidence.
Rather, it's a question of how do you want to be and why.
This means that if you currently have low self confidence (or even no self confidence at all), this is a completely valid and acceptable way of being, so don't spend even a second feeling bad about it.
Instead, appreciate this: your life improves in every way the more self confident you become. So that's why it's worth your time, effort, and energy to do so.
You've already seen the big picture view of the two primary benefits of confidence: it naturally makes you happier and helps you be more successful.
It is important to appreciate that one of the most important benefits of being more self confident is that it naturally helps you become stronger and stronger over time, with everything you encounter and experience, rather than weaker and weaker.
Consider what happens when you have low self confidence, and you feel like you can't possibly accept or handle someone rejecting you in any way.
With this scenario, not only are you terrifed of putting yourself out there, and 'risking' rejection, but if you are rejected, it naturally feels like a nightmare to you, and makes you even more frightened of risking rejection in the future.
In this way, low self confidence (or a lack of self confidence) naturally makes you weaker and weaker over time.
Inversely, if you have high self confidence, you have no doubt that you can easily accept and handle someone rejecting you, and as a result, you're not afraid or anxious of putting yourself in situations where you might be rejected. And, if you are rejected, you see how easily you can, indeed, handle it, and emerge stronger than ever with such proof of how strong and capable you are.
In this way, high self confidence naturally makes you stronger and stronger over time.
When you consider all this, it's a no-brainer: not only is it worth your time and effort to become a more self confident person, but it's also worth your time to develop a high degree of self confidence that will always benefit you in life, and make your life easier and more rewarding in every way.
The most important question, right now, is this: do you want to increase your self confidence and become a more self confident person?
This is because the most important factor for becoming more self confident is to simply want to develop greater confidence in yourself, and to be decisive about taking action to do so, regardless of whether anyone else wants you to become more self confident or not.
With this clarity of mind, you are already well on your way to developing greater confidence in yourelf and your abilities.
If you're thinking, 'I want to be confident, but I don't know how', that's fine.
Provided you have already learned what self confidence is, all this means is that your next step is to learn more about how to start developing it in a simple, easy way.
Learn why self confidence is important, the top 5 benefits of being more self confident, and why it's worth your time to build greater confidence in yourself.


Combining state-of-the-art design with power and precision, Vitamix introduces the first true high-performance blenders with wireless connectivity, delivering the ultimate convenience and versatility, now and for years to come.
I was hesitant to replace my Vitamix which I've had for over 15 years with the latest model. Only because I don't like a lot of bells and whistles with kitchen ware. This model is perfect! So easy and simple to use. I have been making bulk nut butters and soups and I've fallen in love with Vitamix all over again.
I purchased this for my daughter for her 21st birthday and she hasn't stopped raving about it since. She was upset when she moved out that she would no longer have a Vitamix to use so now she is loving creating healthy recipes and I can confirm that they taste amazing. :) The customer support from Raw Blend was amazing too. I was lost in regards to which one to get and they helped a lot.
Was within my price range and so easy to use! I love it and use it on average 3 times a day.

A New Model of Sovereignty in the Contemporary Era of Integrated Global Commerce: What Anthropology Contributes to the Shortcomings of Legal Scholarship
By Sobel-Read, Kevin B.
Existing legal scholarship does not offer an effective or comprehensive definition of sovereignty. Sovereignty, however, matters. Indeed, many have lived and died for it; the term likewise appears with remarkable frequency in both academic and popular discourse. But, sovereignty is not what it used to be. The evolution of globalization generally, and transformations in global commerce specifically, have sutured together the peoples of the world--conventional nation-states and Indigenous groups alike--permanently altering the sovereignty of each. These developments make it that much more imperative to incorporate a functional definition of sovereignty into legal scholarship. But, given the complexities of sovereignty, the tools of law alone are insufficient to generate such a definition. Here anthropology provides a unique and powerful insight to supplement those shortcomings. An evidence-based model through the collaborative lenses of law and anthropology shows that sovereignty and culture have become fused in a mechanism driven by the regulation of cross-border capital. This model empowers the policy makers of conventional states and Indigenous groups to more explicitly, efficiently, and effectively integrate different forms of value--both economic and social.

V. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY, THE DISTINCTION
BETWEEN INDIGENOUS SOVEREIGNTY AND
CONVENTIONAL SOVEREIGNTY HAS CEASED TO EXIST
Sovereignty matters. One need only flip through a contemporary publication to see the prevalence of the term within popular and scholarly discourses alike. Issues of nation-state sovereignty permeate debates on topics that are as far-ranging as they are contradictory, including independence movements, the European Union, trade agreements, the Internet, Indian casinos, and U.S. military drone strikes. So the importance of sovereignty is doubly evident, demonstrated by both the frequency of its use and the significance of the issues that inspire that use. More importantly, sovereignty matters because it is meaningful to people--indeed, countless many have died for it and many more continue to.
Sovereignty, however, is not what it used to be. Changes in the global political economy are currently transforming the nature and the role of sovereignty into a novel phenomenon, distinct from previous forms and philosophies. In short, two-thirds of all transnational trade is now conducted by multi-national corporations. …

Developing a Voice
The Senior Learning Community in Philosophy
Interning at the Clinton Foundation
Four afternoons a week this semester, the four graduating philosophy majors are in class together for their Senior Learning Community. One part high-level philosophy seminar, taught by Professor John Danisi, it's also an intensive writing workshop where the students develop their own theses and learn the disciplines of critical analysis and well-honed writing.
And philosophy majors expect no less, says Professor Sarah Donovan, who teaches the writing workshop, or Reflective Tutorial, portion of the LC. In other majors, seniors complete internships in businesses or other types of organizations. "Philosophy majors want a traditional liberal arts experience, where they're focused on intensive research," she says. During the spring of their junior year, they choose their senior thesis topic, and 100 hours of research time is required during the summer.
One Tuesday afternoon in early October, the group meets in a small Main Hall seminar room for the Reflective Tutorial. The entire class is focused on dissecting a reading that Julia Zenker '14 selected in support of her thesis, in which she intends to critique global trade policy's neglect of human rights issues and propose "an ethic of care," as she calls it.
Sitting at tables facing each other, the students and their professor work methodically through the article, first analyzing its content, and then pointing out its shortcomings. "This is what research is," Donovan remarks. "You see what someone has done, see what's missing, and see what you can build on."
It's a helpful and exciting process, says Zenker. "The research is really interesting," she says. "It's fun and exciting to develop my own theory. It doesn't necessarily have to be something that has been written about before. I can take pieces from this author and that author and put them together and say, 'This hasn't been thought about in this way before, why don't we start thinking about it in this way, and this is why we should do it.'"
Zenker chose to major in philosophy because she wanted this intensive work on her reading, writing, and critical thinking skills in preparation for law school. At the same time, she has developed a strong ethical stance on social justice issues. In her First-Year Learning Community, she learned to connect her studies of Spanish and philosophy with the practical experience of teaching English to immigrants. Her paper on the topic, "The Moral Obligation to People in a Learning Environment," was selected for publication in the Wagner Undergraduate Research Journal.
"I think that really shaped the way that I think about civic engagement and issues of social justice," she says. "And that pushed me toward the trajectory of public interest law."
This kind of progression, says Professor Danisi, is the goal of a Wagner education: students who become independent thinkers with their own, distinct viewpoint and voice. "Whatever occupation you're in, you're dealing with novelty," he says. "And you have to come up with a solution and your boss is going to say, 'Well, why the hell are you doing that?'
"At Wagner, we don't want to turn out people who are doctoring and lawyering," he continues. "We want to turn out moral agents, or citizens, who are doctoring and lawyering."
READ MORE IN 'BACK TO CLASS'
During the fall semester of 2013, we set out to see what's happening on the Wagner campus to prepare students for the future. We found a lot of evidence that Wagner students are getting the most out of the college experience, whether they are in class, in labs, in the city, or abroad.
