15 Main Causes of Stress, Step by Step Solutions for Stress, Stress is the condition of the body when there is a sudden change in our life which causes emotional and physical reactions in our body. When our brain does not get well enough then our mind gets tired and the tired mind leads us to stress.
For this reason, this stress disturbs our physical, mental, and psychological functioning and raises many of our hormones. Due to the increased stress, the person goes into depression.
There are many reasons for stress, and many people start coming in tension only with small balls. Some causes of stress are prominent.
Suddenly change jobs or get rid of the job.
The first step is to identify important things which are not given due to lack of time, for example, not having a date line, spending time with family, not exercising, not reading favourite books etc. There is such a thing It is very important for you but all of them are touted.
Should I do all this, so that I can take time out for my favourite activities? Do I really want to get rid of situations or become a victim of the situation?
First of all, we will have to change our present mental status "either this or that", which often forces one to leave one thing and do another. This type of mental condition only prey on our circumstances. For example, if it is more important to keep the job more important then the person is forced to pay attention to other things, while the instantaneous loss is less harmful than the family, health etc. Therefore, it can be done for the loss.
Make a list of all outstanding works and futures. Due to outstanding work, stress, dissatisfaction and a kind of pressure are felt. The first way to get relief from this is to prepare a detailed list of the amount of outstanding work, such as to repay someone's money, settle the bank's work or you have promised someone to full fill it. You will feel anxious by preparing a list of such works.
After making the list, decide their priority. Whether you want to do that work or not. If you want to do any work, then decide the date of completion. Make this whole process in your daily habits. With this small process you will feel relaxed and put your mind in creative work.
There are many people in our life that we have very good relationships and we consider them very much. But the people I am talking to talk to, whether they come in your favorite list or not, but you enjoy talking to them, with whom you can laugh and grow. Luckily I have such a number of friends … I instantly used to call the same two friends and laughingly well. I did not talk to him about his problem, just talk about the laughter joke around, friends, when you laugh, your body reduces stress hormones, which reduces the tension.
You can search many articles by searching on the internet, which can give you good information about how to be happy. I read some articles on Psychology Today which was very helpful. Apart from this you can reduce your tension by reading spiritual articles, quotes too. And if the internet is not easily accessible then you can read some such magazines, or keep a print from the internet.
As I have said before, Law of Attraction works everywhere, so the more we are sad, the more we think about the pain, the more it appears in our reality. I knew this very well, I did not want to tension in life, so … I was intentionally trying to move my thoughts in opposite direction and soon I got the benefit.
If you are an atheist then the matter is different, but if you believe in God then talk to him alone.You go to a quiet place and thank God for whatever God has given you. You understand that there are millions of people in the world who are in worse condition but with God's grace your position is very good from them and … even bigger than that God has given you all that you can do to your life. Can make good.

Georgia Argues the ACLU's Suit Against Its 'Heartbeat' Law Should Be Aborted
Dara Sharif
A pro-life woman clashing with a group of pro-choice demonstrators at the U.S. Supreme Court in 2015
Georgia is doubling down on its recently signed law virtually outlawing abortion in the state, telling a federal court that it should dismiss an effort by the American Civil Liberties Union to stop the law from taking effect.
According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, attorneys for the state told the court that Georgia had a vested interest in "protecting the life of the unborn."
"Defendants deny all allegations in the complaint that killing a living unborn child constitutes 'medical care' or 'health care,'" the attorneys wrote, the AJC reports.
Georgia's so-called heartbeat law outlaws abortion once a fetal heartbeat can be detected, usually around six weeks into pregnancy, a timeframe that is often before women even know that they're pregnant.
Come Jan. 1, Abortion Will Be Virtually Outlawed in the State of Georgia as Governor Signs So-Called...
With a stroke of a pen Tuesday, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp basically outlawed abortions in his state,…
The law allows for abortions after that point only if a woman's life is in danger. An exception may also be allowed in cases of rape or incest—but only if a woman files a police report. With statistics showing less than 1 in 4 rapes are ever reported, reproductive rights advocates say that standard doesn't work.
The ACLU, in a suit brought in June on behalf of SisterSong Women of Color Reproductive Justice Collective and other abortion-rights activists, argues that Georgia's new law violates women's constitutional right to access abortion and to do so up to 24 weeks into pregnancy.
"Politicians should not be second-guessing women's health care decisions," the legal group has said, the AJC reports.
While the lawsuit makes its way through the legal system, the ACLU also wants the court to delay implementation of the law, which is set to go into effect Jan. 1. Arguments about that are set to be heard before U.S. District Judge Steve C. Jones next month.
However, on Monday, Georgia also argued that rather than grant the ACLU's request to delay implementation, the court should hold a hearing in November on the merits of the suit in its entirety.
"Although compressed, this schedule would be sufficient to develop the necessary record to finally dispose of this matter in court," attorneys for the state wrote, AJC reports.
As The Root has reported previously, Georgia's law is among more than a dozen pieces of similar legislation in mostly Republican-run states around the nation, all supported in hopes of overturning the nation's historic pro-choice law, Roe v. Wade.
And the pressure on a woman's right to choose is happening on other fronts as well, with Planned Parenthood, also on Monday, opting out of accepting a big chunk of federal funding rather than submit to new Trump administration "gag rules" that limit what medical providers can tell patients with regard to abortion and providers of same.

I think it's smart to have classics on hand for entertaining, but shake things up by incorporating seasonal fresh flowers and 1-2 new items that are special for the event. If you collect great pieces along the way, you won't have to scramble to pull something beautiful together!
My go-tos are: white plates, natural linens, vintage looking silverware, a dash of blue and white, and loose flowing flowers. And just like in home decor, I love to mix metals in tabelscapes.


But also to include- a border of some sort, a 5x7" photo or larger, Kraft or raw chipboard and at least 3 sentences of journaling.
Supplies: Scenic route Kraft paper, American Crafts paper, Basic Grey Paper, Basic Grey Alphabet stickers, Sassafras Flowers, RW Laser Cuts birdies, American Crafts frame, Making Memories Bling Frame, Kaiser Rhinestones, Studio Calico Stickers, Making Memories teal photo ancors, brown thread.
I'm on school holidays at the moment and life is a little bit hectic.....cant wait til things settle!


Every time I make avocado on crackers I think about posting a blog on it, then convince myself it's so simple that it's not worth the effort. But I think the time has come to share it anyway as I know it's always good to have easy inspiration on hand.
Spread over crackers and garnish with chili flakes (it looks pretty to do it this way!), but if you're feeling lazy just mix the chili flakes with the avo and spread it on, or use it as a dip!
Thank you so much for your support! Your recipe looks awesome! We have more vegan products now; including Croutons that are unique on the market and brand new!

Rural fairs are an important element in the big entertainment system of rural India. Most of such fairs happen in the rural country's landscape. More than 25000 such fairs take place every year, one estimate suggests. India has a way of getting under the skin of travelers, especially the small towns. As a traveler one needs to be quite flexible and act like a sponge, soak in whatever experience comes your way.
Coming under two types, broadly, commercial and cultural but even cultural fairs are slowly and steadily turning into economic opportunities. Since a long time these fairs have been a major source of entertainment as well as economic drivers of the village economy.
Every state has it's own fairs, big ones like Kumbh Mela are internationally known given the large scale on which it is held. Traders flock to these rural fairs from different states of India.

(A monk (foreign) engrossed in prayer at MahaKumbh Mela, Allahabad, Feb- 2013)
Cultural exchange:
A boy from Bihar state selling traditional Paan-betel leaf filled with cherry, nuts in Himachal Pradesh
I could see a trader from Gujarat selling clothes in a rural fair in the state of Himachal Pradesh. To my surprise, I came across a young boy selling Paan (made from betel leaf combined with cherries, nuts, and tobacco, if you desire) to the local inhabitants of villages of Himachal Pradesh and everyone was lapping it up like the ultimate delicacy. How subtle these food exchanges, cultural exchanges take place in these rural fairs. This is not just limited to fair participants. Some of these traders come with their families and are on the road most of the time. They interact with locals and this is how cultural exchanges take place. Almost living like locals and being a part of their society for the duration of the rural fair.
Source of entertainment:
Back in the days when TV was a rare commodity in a village household, these rural fairs acted as a social gathering platform and also as a major source of entertainment. That is why in any fair you can easily find an entertainment zone, especially for kids. All work and no play that cannot happen. Some big fairs do organize sports events like kabaddi(contact sport that originated in ancient India), Kho-Kho (tag sport), our traditional Indian games. Even national level players take part in such game, acting as crowd magnets. They surely have a large fan following in far-flung places whereas in urban India we haven't even heard of such names.
(villagers enjoying Kushti match at a rural fair in Uttar Pradesh, India)
Rural Marketing:
How can we leave aside marketing from these rural fairs in this age of high volume consumerism? The history of Mela marketing is an old game. These rural fairs are the life and blood not only for villagers but act as a perfect ground as marketers can target huge numbers at one platform with varied demography. Marketers slowly realized the economic value of these fairs given a large amount of attention they attract and the diversity of the crowd. Ideal ground for the sampling of products, especially from the FMCG industry. Most of the new products/services launches are first tried and tested at such gathering. No wonder these fairs act as a win-win situation for companies.
But more on the marketing side of these fairs in a future post.
Next time you are visiting any part of rural India, do make it a point to experience any such rural fair. Believe me, you will get to see the vibrant colors of the hinterland and will be amazed by the colorful life of the village folks and take back memories to cherish forever.
Three cheers to The Great Indian Mela!!!

Effective May 6, 2017, the Fiscal Year 2017 Consolidated Appropriations Act requires the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to discontinue its wireless roadside inspection pilot program through the remainder of FY 2017. FMCSA issued a stop work order in connection with the wireless roadside inspection pilot program. The Agency appreciates the contributions of motor carriers and other stakeholders that participated in the research program. However, FMCSA will not be collecting, monitoring, or reviewing data related to the wireless roadside inspection pilot program until Congress appropriates funds for it to do so.
To improve safety and the efficient operations of trucks and buses operating on our Nation's roads and highways by developing, testing, and evaluating a wireless inspection system that is designed to conduct electronic inspections at roadway speeds. Further, the research will support the development of a Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA)-led, nationally recognized electronic wireless inspection program.
Phase I–Proof of Concept Test: Testing of commercially-available off-the-shelf (COTS) or near-COTS technology to validate the wireless inspection concept.
Phase II–Pilot Test: Safety and inspection technology maturation demonstration, system capabilities, and back office system integration.
Phase III–Field Operational Test (FOT): Full end-to-end system testing on multiple vehicles from multiple fleets within a multi-State corridor.
The project is currently in Phase III, the FOT, which builds on the recently completed pilot tests. These pilot tests showed that a national system may be feasible but required further refinement of interfaces between government and carrier information systems. The system is being tested as a potential tool to more efficiently identify drivers, vehicles, and carriers by evaluating uniformity, accuracy, capacity, and regulatory sufficiency.
Pursuant to Section 5513 of the Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act (P.L. 114-94), a report was provided to Congress in May 2016 to provide a determination that this research: (a) does not conflict with existing electronic screening systems, or create capabilities already available; (b) does not require additional statutory authority to incorporate generated inspection data into the safety measurement system or the safety fitness determinations program; and (c) provides appropriate restrictions to specifically address privacy concerns of affected motor carriers and operators. Report available at: https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/mission/policy/design-and-implementation-wireless-roadside-inspection-systems-letter-report-congress.
The purpose of the WRI field operational test (FOT) is to develop and test a system that can identify commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) and potential registration, hours-of–service, and licensing compliance or safety violations that may exist. A wireless inspection report will be sent to inspectors to enhance their ability to identify noncompliant CMVs. During the testing, FMCSA will gather data on certain violation areas from the participating carrier's commercial vehicles during the 1-year data collection effort of the FOT. The following table contains the violation areas with citations that will be examined.
MCMIS Status is inactive. USDOT Registration Required.
Carrier not found in SAFER. USDOT Registration Required.
Question 1: Do the Agency's databases have the capacity to process potentially large amounts of data if the system were deployed nationally through State/Private partnerships?
A replicate system of these databases will be created during the testing and FMCSA will attempt to process an amount of data that is commensurate to that of a national system to determine this.
Question 2: Does FMCSA have the capacity to ensure security and privacy protections?
The WRI processing system was developed to be installed in the Agency's Portal environment. Because the Portal has been certified to meet the requirements of the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA), FMCSA will assure that, if deployed as a production system, all transmittal of data will meet security and privacy requirements.
Question 3: Does the information captured meet the regulatory sufficiency for compliance verification?
The roadside data gathered during the electronic inspection research will be reviewed to assure the specific regulatory sections cited in the table above meet legal sufficiency. Federal, State, and Industry partners will be consulted throughout this process.
Question 4: What credit will be provided to a carrier's safety score for a compliant wireless inspection?
This project will inform a public process through notice and comment, as a means to determine what level of credit should be given for compliant inspections.
Question 5: How will a WRI process be institutionalized throughout the States?
FMCSA will work publicly and in conjunction with CVSA to develop a nationally recognized electronic inspection program.
Demonstrate WRI system by modifying an existing telematics system, equipping about 600 trucks with it, and collecting inspection data wirelessly over a 1-year period.
Demonstrate carrier, enforcement, and compliance decision-making using WRI interfaces.
Demonstrate WRI system instantaneous loading equal to a nationally-deployed system.
Provide experience to revise the already existing WRI requirements, concept of operations, and architecture.
The project is currently in Phase III. The FOT is discontinued effective May 6, 2017.
Participating Carriers. For the year-long data collection that began March 15, 2016, 753 vehicles have been equipped with WRI technology. There are 1,085 drivers from 61 participating fleets.

Mandalai Lamas: I Don ́t Know What To Do With My Life
Where vintage garage rock comes into collision with a young band's energy and ability, enter Mandalai Lamas, a group of psychedelic rockers from Halden, Norway. The band is currently in preparations for the release of their debut LP, expected to come out early 2020 on Big Day Records, and have already put out a series of singles, the latest of which is the spirited, I Don ́t Know What To Do With My Life.
Giving off a first impression of something that could have belonged in a Pebbles or a Nuggets or a Mindrockers anthology, the new song comes full of high energy rock 'n' roll vibes, psychedelic radiance, a lot of grit, as well as some fine existential qualities in its lyrical content.
After winning over audiences with their live presence, Mandalai Lamas seem and sound more than ready to do the same thing through their recordings.
A completely DIY and super fun video which comes with the song was created by and features the band and their friends.
Mandalai Lamas are Håvard Dahle (guitar, lead vocals), Levi Sandberg (bass, backup vocals), Theodor Skovrand (guitar), Markus Berntzen (guitar), Marius Width (drums) and Jacob Lalo Brolund (keys, percussion).

Natural Alternative Treatments for Uterine Fibroids
More in Sexual Health
Reproductive Health Issues
Uterine Conditions
Hysterectomy & Alternatives
By Cathy Wong
Also known as uterine leiomyomata, uterine fibroids are abnormal growths that form from muscular tissue in the uterus. Ranging in size, the growths can occur singly or in numbers.
The most common type of non-cancerous tumors in women of childbearing age, uterine fibroids are estimated to occur in three out of four women during their lifetime.
Uterine fibroids aren't associated with an increased risk of uterine cancer. They also tend to decrease in size after menopause.
Symptoms of Uterine Fibroids
While many women with uterine fibroids show no symptoms of this condition, some women may experience one or more of the following:
Heavy or painful periods
A feeling of fullness in the lower abdomen
Pelvic pressure or pain
A frequent need to urinate
Pain during sex
Reproductive problems (such as infertility, multiple miscarriages, or early labor)
Although most women with uterine fibroids can get pregnant naturally, others may experience difficulty conceiving. What's more, some pregnant women with uterine fibroids may be at a slightly increased risk for problems such as miscarriage, premature labor and delivery, and abnormal fetal position. However, in most cases, uterine fibroids aren't likely to complicate pregnancy.
Standard Treatments for Uterine Fibroids
Because uterine fibroids can lead to certain complications (including anemia from heavy blood loss), it's crucial to consult your physician if you experience symptoms of this condition.
Standard treatment for uterine fibroids typically involves the use of medications that help relieve symptoms and slow the growth of fibroids. Treatment also may include surgical procedures such as myomectomy, which removes the fibroids but leaves the healthy areas of the uterus in place.
Alternative Treatments for Uterine Fibroids
To date, few studies have explored the use of alternative medicine in the treatment of uterine fibroids. Here's a look at key findings from the available research.
In an animal study published in 2010, scientists discovered that eight weeks of treatment with green tea extract led to a significant decrease in the volume and weight of uterine fibroids among a group of mice.
In a pilot study published in 2002, researchers assigned a group of women with uterine fibroids to six months of treatment with traditional Chinese medicine, body therapy (including bodywork), and guided imagery. Study results showed that fibroids shrank or stopped growing in 22 patients in the treatment group, compared with three patients in the control group.
For a research review published in 2010, investigators sought out all randomized controlled trials comparing acupuncture with various other treatments (such as medication) in the management of uterine fibroids. Finding none of the available studies sufficiently well-designed, the review's authors concluded that "the effectiveness of acupuncture for the management of uterine fibroids remains uncertain."
What Causes Uterine Fibroids?
Although the exact cause of uterine fibroids is unknown, it's thought that certain genetic and hormonal factors may play a role in their development. For instance, the hormones estrogen and progesterone may stimulate the growth of uterine fibroids.
The following may increase your risk for uterine fibroids:
Family history of uterine fibroids
Not having given birth
Additionally, African American women are at three to five times greater risk than white women for fibroids.
What You Should Know Before Using Natural Alternatives
Since natural approaches have not been proven to treat uterine fibroids safely and effectively, it's important to consult your physician before using any type of alternative medicine in the treatment of this condition. Self-treating and avoiding or delaying standard care can have serious consequences.

Canta U Populu Corsu, littéralement Le peuple corse chante (ou selon l'un de ses plus anciens membres, Cècè (François) Buteau, Voici ce que chante le peuple corse) est un groupe de musique corse engagé en faveur du nationalisme corse.

Historique
Le groupe est fondé en 1973. Les chansons sont à l'origine des reprises des chants traditionnels (paghjelle, lamenti) car leur premier but était qu'elles restent un témoignage de ce que chantaient les anciens dans les villages. Très vite sont venues des créations du groupe, parfois à fort caractère politique, témoignant de son engagement régionaliste, puis nationaliste notamment dans les années 1970 et 1980. Jean-Paul Poletti, Petru Guelfucci et Minicale qui sont les membres fondateur du groupe ont participé au succès du groupe avant de démissionner en 1981 pour des désaccords politiques et pour les deux premier entamer, une carrière en solo. Les frères Bernardini d'I Muvrini ont participé également à l'aventure.

Canta u populu corsu est le groupe précurseurs du renouveau du chant en langue corse. En 1981, le groupe crée des écoles de chants partout dans l'île et forme les jeunes à la pratique du chant polyphonique mais surtout à la pratique de la langue corse à travers le chant.

En 2003, le leader du groupe Natale Luciani, un des fondateurs du groupe, dont il était le représentant le plus emblématique et par ailleurs militant culturel et politique, décède. Depuis, Canta u Populu Corsu continue son combat pour la promotion de la langue et de la culture corse et n'hésite pas à se produire hors de l'île. Le groupe s'est ainsi produit pour la diaspora corse dans d'autres villes de France comme à Paris (au Bataclan en 2005, 2007, 2008 et 2011, à l'Olympia 2006 et 2009, La Cigale en 2010, le Trianon en 2014), Marseille, Lyon, Aix-en-Provence, Chomérac ou au Pays basque mais aussi en Suisse, en Italie et en Irlande.

Why is it important to read the newspaper daily?
Is newspaper a dying industry?
What billionaires own the media?
However, though newspapers may not disappear completely, the Internet is likely to become the more dominant source of news over time.
In conclusion, although newspapers remain popular today, they will gradually be replaced by the desire to read the news through electronic sources..
Despite the availability of a rich digital environment, people are still buying and reading newspapers. … Other responses that netted some notice were that newspapers contained better or more detailed information than they can get elsewhere, while some older readers said that newspaper reading had become a habit.
But people tend to prefer the way which can get the news immediately, is more convenient and has more options for choosing. In this case, TV is a better means to get news than newspaper. First of all, TV broadcast is able to spread the news at once and also can amend some wrong information immediately.
Newspapers are in terminal decline So each year, a few million newspaper readers die and are not replaced by new readers. At the same time, an increasingly competitive ad market is making it harder and harder for newspapers to charge premium rates.
Without newspapers the govt. would remain ignorant of the wishes of the people their condition their needs and requirements and thus it would not be able to perform its functions properly. In the absence of newspapers, the govt. would lose touch with the opinion and feelings of the people.
The reason is that internet access, advertising, corporate ownership, and social media are playing as huge contributors to the decline in newspaper production. The invention of the internet meant losses in revenue in print newspaper. … In short, newspaper circulation has been declining for the whole decade.
Newspaper Feel No matter how good the internet is at sourcing the information, it can never have the look at feel of an actual newspaper. Many people that grew up in a time before the internet value physical paper over reading in a digital form.
Almost all printed newspapers would disappear in the United States in the next five years. The country would be left with three of four "national" newspapers that would continue to print physical editions somewhat longer than five years. … More than four newspapers would survive in the long-term as digital papers.
Due to the digital newspaper, readers can search for the latest jobs available in the industry. Besides, they use the job requirements and search them online to make sure they get the job position. Nowadays, it has become much easier than ever to access many DIY articles and use them in their daily lives.
The annual gross profit for the average newsagent for newspapers sold Monday to Friday is just over £5000 a year with Saturday's contributing £1400 and Sunday's £2500. So for 364 days of selling newspapers, the average retailer shows a gross profit of £9250.
In addition to advertising revenue, many newspapers rely on circulation revenue to survive. Circulation revenue is the money generated through paid print subscriptions and sold copies of the paper. … These digital subscriptions have helped some newspapers stay afloat.
There are 2,000 newspapers that have completely shut down, 2,000 communities without a newspaper anymore; 1,300 no longer have any local news coverage at all, no one watching the store, from small towns to medium-sized cities.
Print sales for the UK's biggest national newspapers slumped by as much as 39% last month, as the coronavirus lockdown shut high streets and kept the nation at home. The Financial Times and the i newspaper reported the biggest decline in circulation, down 39% and 38%, respectively.
You are more likely to get information from various spectrums and sometimes contrasting opinions to your own beliefs online than on TV and radio. As a result, you are more conscious of everything, get various points of view, and can analyze things deeply and wholy by getting news from different sources on the internet.
Disadvantages of TV NewsIt CAN BE limited by time.It may rely too heavily on personalities, emotions, opinions… not facts.It can shortchange complex stories or avoid them altogether.
Reading newspaper is a good habit that can provide a great sense of educational value. It carries information about politics, economy, entertainment, sports, business, industry, trade and commerce. … Here are some of the benefits that you can get by reading daily newspapers: Newspapers carry the news of the world.
Dying might be too strong, but an industry in recession would not be an exaggeration. The decline in circulation caused the revenue of American newspaper publishers to slump by 35 percent in 2016 after a 30 percent drop in 2015, according to the US Census Bureau. …
Here's a list of billionaires who own news publications. Marc Benioff — Salesforce CEO. … Patrick Soon-Shiong — Surgeon and entrepreneur. … Jeff Bezos — Amazon CEO. … John Henry — Investor, Red Sox owner. … Glen Taylor—Investor, Minnesota Timberwolves owner. … Sheldon Adelson, CEO and chairman of Las Vegas Sands.More items…•

Game of Thrones – "Baelor"
"Baelor"
"I learned how to die a long time ago."
It has been a bit of an adventure tiptoeing around the events of "Baelor" over the past eight weeks.
It's been a bit of a game, honestly – from the moment the show was announced, people who had read the books were well aware that this episode was going to come as a shock to many viewers. This was the moment when the show was going to be fully transformed from a story about action to a story about consequences, and the point at which the series would serve notice to new viewers that this is truly a no holds barred narrative.
On some level, I don't know if I have anything significant to add to this discussion: as someone who read the books, I knew every beat this episode was going to play out, and can really only speak to execution as opposed to conception. The real interest for me is in how those without knowledge of the books respond to this particular development, and how it alters their conception of the series. While I don't want to speak for them, I am willing to say that "Baelor" was very elegant in its formation, rightly framing the episode as a sort of memorial to that which we lose at episode's end.
And now, if you'll excuse me, I'll save my other thoughts for after the break so that I can finally talk about this without fear of spoiling anyone.

Game of Thrones – "You Win or You Die"
"You Win or You Die"
"It's the family name that lives on. It's all that lives on."
[You can also hear additional thoughts on this episode in a special edition of the Talking TV with Ryan and Ryan podcast that I participated in.]
[Also, for more on "Sexposition," check out my review of Season 2, Episode 2, "The Night Lands"]
There has been a lot of conversation surrounding the question of exposition with Game of Thrones, understandable given the high volume of material that has been revealed through conversations in an effort to capture the complexity of George R.R. Martin's world.
"You Win or You Die" is not particularly exposition heavy, although there is one example that I will break down in greater detail, but the function of exposition is to provide a sense of history and context and I would argue that this episode is very interested in this idea. Some have argued that flashbacks might be considered another way to provide insight into history, and that it would beat the somewhat sloppy exposition that has to this point been deployed, but I would ask this: is the point of exposition to inform or remind the audience of particular information, or is it designed to inform the audience that the particular information in question is, in fact, important enough to be discussed in this context?
The answer, as always, is that it is meant to function as both, but I think those decrying the very existence of exposition in its current form should consider the latter more carefully. The role of history within this world is an important theme that is highlighted in "You Win or You Die," as various threads comes to a point where the past is either given new meaning or forgotten entirely.
Or, rather, forgotten in some circles and remembered in others.

Winter is Still Coming: Anxiety and Awareness as HBO takes Game of Thrones to Series
Winter is Still Coming: Anxiety and Awareness
The motto of the Stark family is that "Winter is Coming," which in the world of A Song of Ice and Fire is inevitable but unknown: seasons can last for years, even generations, but eventually they will turn, and a winter that lasts that long can be absolutely devastating. Accordingly, the Starks live by a motto that places them in a state of constant anxiety, aware that the flowers may bloom right now but there is still the potential for darkness around the corner. It is prudent, perhaps, but also limiting in how it places fear and concern over the ability to enjoy one's situation.
Was there ever any doubt that HBO would take Game of Thrones, the adaptation of George R.R. Martin's fantasy series, to series? Not really. Sure, there was always the chance that the pilot wouldn't turn out well, but with an established director (Tom McCarthy) at the helm, and with an ever-expanding cast with considerable name recognition, the chances of HBO not ordering a season of the show were pretty slim.
So, one would think, fans of the series can now breathe a sigh of relief: the series' rich fantasy tapestry will be committed to film, and their favourite characters will come to life, so the anxiety is over. However, for fans of A Song of Ice and Fire, the anxiety has become a way of life not dissimilar from the wariness of the Stark family motto: it's been almost five years since the last entry in the series, and it's come to the point where some fans fear that Martin might die before he finishes his epic story. Some readers, like the Chicago Tribune's Maureen Ryan, have actually put off reading the latest book until the next one has a clear release date, afraid of creating a state of heightened anxiety knowing that the next installment could still be years away. And so the anxiety surrounding the pickup, even when everyone was predicting that the show would make it to series, was normal for the fans who could potentially make the series a smash success.
However, as Jeremy Mongeau pointed out on Twitter, I wonder if that anxiety will make this series even more problematic for fans in life than it would have in death; the show will be full of potential for new viewers who have no idea where this story is headed, but fans may be tripped up by some of their foreknowledge. Just to be clear, I'm not characterizing ASoIaF fans as those who will complain about small changes (although I'm sure there will inevitably be some of that), but rather that they know where this story is going, and they know an important fact about the first book in the series (A Game of Thrones) which will heighten their anxiety surrounding the show's long-term potential at the network who has given it a chance.
The pickup is a sign that Winter has been delayed for at least a season, but one can't help but realize that Winter is still coming, and the anxiety surrounding that could well dominate fan behaviour.

Winter is finally Coming: Anticipating HBO's Game of Thrones
Winter is finally Coming:
Anticipating HBO's Game of Thrones
When I was roughly 14, I read The Lord of the Rings. I enjoyed it, so my parents went to a bookstore ahead of Christmas and asked for something similar. The employee suggested A Game of Thrones, the first book in George R.R. Martin's epic fantasy series A Song of Ice and Fire – when I unwrapped it on Christmas morning, I can remember being somewhat underwhelmed, having not (at that point) really delved into any literary series (I was a latecomer to Harry Potter, for instance) and not entirely keen on starting a new one. But, my reluctance aside, I started reading A Game of Thrones, and then A Clash of Kings, and then A Storm of Swords. Very quickly, I had read through the first three volumes.
And yet, today, I barely remember any of it. I don't particularly know why, apart from a few key events (mainly deaths, which Martin seems to revel in), I found myself struggling to remember many specific details when I first heard of plans to bring to show to life as a new series for HBO. However, in spite of my lack of memory, there was one thing I was sure of: there was something compulsively readable about this particular brand of fantasy, and also something complex that seemed to confound my 14 year old memory but which may just be perfectly fine-tuned for my post-secondary critical mind.
Ever since the pilot was first announced as a potential HBO project, I've been pondering digging back into the series, but in the past few months I realized I had no excuse: HBO has been busy amassing the largest ensemble cast in their history, production is due to start in Ireland in just a few months, and a particularly resourceful blog has managed to turn casting speculation and analysis into a refined and comprehensive process worthy of this comprehensive story. Where some literary adaptations feel like a process being done independent of the material at hand, Game of Thrones has the series' author onboard as a writer, devoted fans and active producers who have turned even casting into an internet event, and (as I discovered over the past week) some really amazing source material that feels like a perfect fit for both television as a medium and HBO as a network.
So, in short, I'm a little bit excited, and I think you should be too.

DALLAS, Texas – October 24, 2018 – Catapult, a leading digital solutions and services firm, announced today that it has been ranked 7th in the small category as a "2018 Best Place to Work" by the Dallas Business Journal in Dallas-Fort Worth area. In 2017, Catapult ranked 8th for this same award. Catapult's Dallas office continues to be recognized as a top employer for its longstanding commitment to its employees.
The final ranking of the "2018 Best Places to Work" in the Dallas-Fort Worth area was announced at a picnic celebration on Thursday, October 18 at the Dr Pepper Ballpark, home of the Frisco RoughRiders. In the past, Catapult has been awarded this designation in Dallas and its other locations due to factors such as a strong corporate culture, work/life balance, and trust in its leadership, as well as an environment that promotes career mobility and growth.
"We are thrilled to have received this year's award and climbed the ranks to 7th in the small business category," said Gary Farris, Catapult's Regional Vice President, Central Mid-America.

Generally regarded as modern Egypt's leading literary figure, Naguib Mahfouz was the first Arabic-language author awarded the Nobel Prize in literature. Critics hail Mahfouz for his ability to capture the essence of Cairene culture and life. This book illuminates how Naguib Mahfouz has successfully used the elements of daily life to capture the reality of his generation amidst the political upheaval caused in part by the British occupation of Egypt. This study also goes beyond opening up the Egyptian world to the reader; it is a careful analysis of the major novels of Mahfouz's career from an ambiguous feminist perspective. The author selects the term ambiguous deliberately to signify the disparity between a Western and Islamic lens. By employing this approach, the author successfully shows how the characters are not only entrapped in cages of subservience, but also cleverly reveals how the reader of Mahfouz's work is often entrapped in cages of misunderstanding. As the first scholarly study on Mahfouz's work through a highly original interdisciplinary Western and Eastern feminist lens, this book is a critical addition for collections in Literature, Middle Eastern Studies, and Women's Studies.

Review: In Conversation With: Judy Murray *****
Posted by Taylor Crockett
In Conversation With: Judy Murray
The Stand's New Town Theatre, Freemasons' Hall, George Street v7
12.00 (20 August ONLY)
Another fascinating hour with sports journalist Graham Spiers as our host, this time talking to Judy Murray, mother of Andy and Jamie and daughter of professional footballer Roy Erskine and herself no mean tennis player – she was Scotland's no1 woman tennis player for many years, winning a total of 64 Scottish titles. Now her passion is to pass on her love of the game to the punter generations in Scotland, building on the impetus of the interest aroused in the sport by the success of her sons and the Scottish wheelchair tennis player, Gordon Reid: at the end of 2016 Andy, Jamie and Gordon were year-end no.1 in singles, doubles, and wheelchair tennis respectively: an incredible feat for a small nation who, when Judy's boys were young, had virtually no facilities, no coaching, and no money being put into tennis.
Judy is, as ever, a delight to listen to: never afraid to speak out when something needs said, and willing to put her own efforts into anything she can see needs done, rather than sitting around waiting for someone else to do something. Hers is an inspiring story. When her sons were small, she encouraged them to play all sports and, Scotland's weather being what it is, invented all sorts of games to keep them amused when it was too dreich for them to go outside: she learned them learn, and learned from them, seeing how different games helped them develop different skills. The example she gave that fascinated me most was when she needed to use the kitchen table, so moved the boys to sit on the floor to continue their games of ping-pong tennis [with biscuit tin lids as bats, and cereal boxes for the net] and saw how they developed their upper body skills and flexibility to compensate for not being able to run around to reach the ball. She used all this knowledge in her coaching.
Her story of how she developed her coaching skills from helping her and other parents' kids down at Dunblane tennis club into being Scotland's national tennis coach is an inspiration to anyone who doubts that they might be able to achieve anything. Her guiding principle is it's not about what you haven't got: it's what you do with what you have got – and we could all take that to heart! Everything had to be learned 'on the job' – there were no tennis coaches in Scotland from whom to learn, no facilities, and no 'how to' book to help her work out how to coach, manage and look after the finances and schedules of her boys, especially in the years when they were earning peanuts but having to spend mightily. And there was no 'how to' guide about managing the sudden and intense media scrutiny when Andy made it through to the third round of Wimbledon the first time he played there in 2005. Judy discussed the dangers of spontaneous remarks on Twitter [and the Feli(ciano Lopez) storm], the constant intrusion into a person's private life of the British press, whom she described as "vast and vicious" – it's no wonder Andy clammed up for years after the storm over his World Cup comments all those years ago…
And of course, we had to hear about Judy's Strictly experience: and here, too, her simple common sense shone out – she went in, starry-eyed, to something she'd been following on tv since its inception, not expecting to win, but hoping it would be fun [and a four-month break from tennis!] – and it was. She loved every moment of it, and wasn't affected by the judges' comments [unlike other contestants] – her attitude was 'it's all a bit of fun, why get upset about it?" In fact, her attitude to life seems totally to be "look for the positive, and ignore the negative" – she tapes her boys' matches, but only watches if they've won…
There were some good questions from the floor, including that from the first, young, contributor: "what do you enjoy most about tennis?" Judy's answer probably sums her up as a person – "it's working out how to play the game, how to beat your opponent". An inspiring hour with an amazing woman, whose wit brought gales of laughter and who left the platform in a storm of applause.

A: I had to abandon deregistering to get app working as intended. Hope it is not very expensive to keep animate() returning false, when it is not needed to animate anything.

A: Getting register/deregister symbiotic relationships can be tricky.
It looks like start() was invoked before stop() was called. I would suggest checking for that special case.

Q: comparing 2 large unsorted CSV files based on 2 columns I am tasks with comparing 2 large unsorted .csv files based on column 1 and 3.
Each file contains about 200k records. For the output, I need to know which records based on column 1 and 3 exist in the first file but not the second file. The files are quoted comma separated value files. Column 3 needs to ignore case when comparing.
Example File1:
"id", "name", "email", "country"
"1233",  "jake", "jake@mailinator.com", "USA"
"2345", "alison", "Alison@mailinator.com", "Canada"
"3456", "jacob", "jacob@mailinator.com", "USA"
"5678", "natalia", "natalia@mailinator.com", "USA"

File 2
"id", "name", "email", "country"
"2345", "alison", "alison@mailinator.com", "Canada"
"3456", "jacob", "jacob@mailinator.com", "USA"
"5690", "lina", "lina@mailinator.com", "Canada"

desired Output file
"5678", "natalia", "natalia@mailinator.com", "USA"

Code examples would be very appreciated.

A: Try:
join -v 1 -i -t, -1 1 -2 1 -o 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5  <(awk -F, '{print $1":"$3","$0}' f1.txt | sort) <(awk -F, '{print $1":"$3","$0}' f2.txt | sort)

How it works:
1) I first create a composite key column, by joining column 1 and column3:
awk -F, '{print $1":"$3","$0}' f1.txt
awk -F, '{print $1":"$3","$0}' f2.txt

2) I sort both outputs:
awk -F, '{print $1":"$3","$0}' f1.txt | sort
awk -F, '{print $1":"$3","$0}' f2.txt | sort

3) I then use the join command to join on the first column (my composite key) and output the unpairable lines coming from file 1.
Output:
"1233",  "jake", "jake@mailinator.com", "USA"
"5678", "natalia", "natalia@mailinator.com", "USA"

A: Loop the files, load them up into 2 arrays (or maybe hashes), then loop the second file, array'ing each line.  If array1[n] and array2[n] are not in the current line's array, output as missing.  I would use Perl for this task.

A: awk 'BEGIN { FS="\", \""}
     FNR == 1 {read++;}
     FNR !=1 {if (read==1) {store[$1","tolower($3)] = $0} if (read==2) {delete store[$1","tolower($3)]}}
     END {for (i in store) {print store[i]}}' file1 file2

Output:
"1233",  "jake", "jake@mailinator.com", "USA"
"5678", "natalia", "natalia@mailinator.com", "USA"

A: Load the file content into a in memory database e.g. H2 and use a SQL selection with a join

A: awk 'BEGIN { FS=OFS=","}; NR==FNR{a[tolower($1$3)]=++i;next} { if ( tolower($1$3) in a);else {print } }' file2 file1

output:
"1233",  "jake", "jake@mailinator.com", "USA"
"5678", "natalia", "natalia@mailinator.com", "USA"

Healing by Official Design The Anatomy of a Modern Hospital 2020
ArtCulture | October 7, 2020 | 0 Comments
August 24th 2008 was a red letter day in the Eastern Fraser Valley, BC, Canada. The first new-build hospital for more than thirty years, the Abbotsford Regional Hospital and Cancer Centre (ARHCC), opened its doors. As the old MSA hospital (built over fifty years ago and showing its every year) closed it's doors for the last time, staff, patients and visitors were settling in at the cutting edge of 21st century hospital design.
The ARHCC is Canada's first public-private-partnership (P3) hospital. This P3 partnership involves the Ministry of Health Services, Fraser Health (the local Health Authority), the Provincial Health Services Authority, the BC Cancer Agency, The Fraser Valley Regional Hospital District, Partnerships BC and Access Health Abbotsford (a consortium of companies). The old MSA hospital was last renovated in 1980 and the population of Abbotsford has increased 2.5 times since then. Local people have waited a long time for this hospital but the consensus of those visiting it on the open days was that it was worth the wait. I visited on 26th August to check out the building for myself.
The building is neat and modern externally and once inside it was hard not to be slightly-awed by the space in the atrium. With a vaulted ceiling that reaches up to three floors and floor-to-ceiling windows spanning one wall, the sense of space is impressive.
The wall of coloured windows to the rear and right are complemented by the block pattern of the carpeted area. Sitting on one of the leather sofas provided in the reception area and looking out on the trees and planting outside, I was struck by something else. The whole space smelled more of the leather than anything else. There was no 'hospital smell' yet. With a Starbucks due to open soon, perhaps the Atrium will bypass the disinfectant smell altogether in favour of coffee. That would be an advance!
The hospital spans 5 levels and because of the way the land rises, each floor plan is lightly different. There are five 'spokes', each named after a local landmark: Cheam, Baker, Yale, Fraser and Sumas. The 'spokes' are colour-coded with symbols that are repeated on floors and walls to help visitors, patients and staff to orientate themselves. 'Wayfinding Guides' are available everywhere and the signing on corridors, floors and walls is very clear. I'm pleased to report we didn't get lost once.
More than 200 healthcare workers were consulted in the design and building for patients was a prime consideration as Walter Hiller, President and Chief Project Officer explains:
"…we very much wanted to create a healing environment for patients and so we drove the design by providing only either 1 or 2 bedrooms in this facility…lots of natural light streaming… through very large windows… and wanted to give patients views to the outside or onto courtyards to inspire them on the path to healing.." (Source: 'New Project Video', http://www.abbotsfordhospitalandcancercentre.ca/index.php )
The design and construction teams worked closely from the conceptual design stage to the construction process. Sustainability was crucial and the energy operating costs for the building were modeled repeatedly using simulation software and the help of EnerSys Analytics. They needed a balance between energy savings, design and contractors. In the end many measures were incorporated including:
High-efficiency gas fired hot water boilers
A flue gas heat recovery system
A high-efficiency chilled water generation for air-conditioning
An exhaust air heat recovery system
Variable speed control on all significant pumps and fans
Low flow plumbing fixtures
Energy efficient lighting systems
A high-performance building envelope with low-e glazing and selective shading coefficients
In total, the hospital is expected to consume nearly 40 % less energy compared to a 'Model National Energy for Buildings'-compliant hospital. Energy operating cost savings should be in the region of $500,000 per year and savings of 3,100 tons of CO2 emissions per year.
From the ground-breaking in December 2004 to the completed construction in May 2008, this project has been under close scrutiny by all quarters. In the May 16th, 2008 Press Release, though, there was high praise from the Health Minister, George Abbott:
"The Abbotsford Regional Hospital and Cancer Centre is the first new regional hospital to open in more than 30 years and represents the single largest health-care capital investment in the history of the province," said Abbott. "The project was completed on time, on budget and within scope – an unprecedented achievement for a health-care project of this size and complexity." (Source: 2008HEALTH0059-000759, New Hospital and Cancer Centre Opens in 100 Days, http://www.abbotsfordhospitalandcancercentre.ca/files/media.php )
The challenge for the staff now is to continue to provide excellent health care while familiarizing themselves with this large new building and all the new equipment and procedures. All staff had Orientation Training in the new hospital before it opened and this will continue. There are bound to be some teething issues but the move to the hospital has gone remarkably well so far. Patients and staff are benefitting from increased space, utility and privacy and these should bring improvements in terms of a positive hospital experience. The environment created is clean, comfortable and fit for purpose. The high expectations of the design appear to being met.
After all the planning, designing and preparation, the new hospital is up and running. And what do the Abbotsford residents think about it? The sign in a local church perhaps sums it up: "God bless our new hospital".

Exam season is very much in full swing! If like me, you are absolutely rubbish at sitting down and focusing on that textbook, those study notes or power-point presentations the following tips shared by our friends on Instagram might be worth a try!
Prepare a timetable and set reasonable targets for sections/topics you want to cover. And reward yourself for meeting them.
Take enough breaks so you don't burn out. And turn off your phone, store it in your bag!
I'm still experimenting with this one but when I'm making notes I use a marker instead of a pen. I've been using a red one- it pops off of the paper and may appear to be closer than it really is (psychology stuff). 2. Don't look at it has studying but relearning takes the anxiety off of it a little. 3. Try doing this before bed. Once you go to bed info will process better and you'll be able to remember.
Tell us, how do you Study?

This painting is meaningful to me on several levels. Most superficially, it represents my love for the human brain. I remember dissecting the cerebellum for the first time, in anatomy lab, and reflecting on the arbor vitae and how beautiful it was.
On a deeper level, I wanted this painting to remind me, and other medical students, of our potentials and capabilities. As a medical student starting my journey in the field of medicine, I often feel inadequate and lost in clinical settings. This is especially true of my elective in Emergency Medicine. However, I think this painting serves as an important reminder for us; it helps us recognize that we often underestimate ourselves in what we know and are capable of accomplishing.

Lincoln Center - Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater
Arts & Attractions Lincoln Center - Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater
Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater is located at the northwest corner of the Lincoln Center Plaza, at 65th Street between Broadway and Amsterdam.
Upper West Side Description
Lincoln Center - Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater is located in the Upper West Side neighborhood of Manhattan. The home of diverse cultural attractions, the Upper West side is sandwiched between Riverside Park to the west and Central Park to the east. Both parks are excellent leisurely green spaces to spend a day. Central Park is especially notable, as it is New York's "flagship" park. With over 843 acres of land, it is home to 275 species of birds. It's quite easy to spend an entire day there too, as the park has several restaurants on its perimeter, a Boathouse, a Carousel, ball fields, a running track, reservoir, sculptures of Alice in Wonderland and Shakespeare, and a nearly endless list of events and other attractions.
In addition to being the most densely populated area of the United States, the Upper West Side is the home of several academic institutions and a litany of famous people too numerous to list here. The American Museum of Natural History is among the most notable museum in the neighborhood. This world-famous museum is comprised of several different Halls, each dedicated to a particular theme. The museum's exhibition-halls house a stunning array of artifacts and specimens from all corners of the world and all historical periods including some magnificent dinosaur fossils. Other nearby cultural institutions worth checking out include the New York Historical Society, and the new Rose Center for Earth and Space which houses the Hayden Planetarium; the most technologically advanced Space Theater in existence.
The Upper West Side also contains some of the greatest venues to hear classical music. There is the Metropolitan Opera House —one of the world's leading opera companies since its opening in 1883—as well asAvery Fisher Hall, Alice Tully Hall and the renowned New York City Opera. Additionally both The Julliard School and Fordham University grace the area.
You're bound to get hungry while visiting the neighborhood, but fear not -there are plenty of famous places to nosh or grab some classic New York smoked salmon in the Upper West Side. There's Zabar's—a heavenly deli if there ever was one; Fairway Market which has a huge, gourmet selection of just about everything; Citarella, with fresh fish and much more; and Murray's Sturgeon Shop—just to name a few. If you're looking for a more substantial meal, head to Prohibition, an upscale restaurant and bar. The interior, which invokes the glamour and romance of the Prohibition-Era style of the twenties and early thirties, helps create terrific ambience. All of this has made Prohibition a mainstay on the Upper West Side. There's also the takeout booth at Carmine's. Carmine's simple and very popular concept is to serve every meal in the style of an Italian American wedding feast - which means large portions of homestyle antipasti, pastas, seafood and meat entrees served on large platters designed for sharing. And when we say large, we mean large; an entree here could easily feed three to four average eaters. After your weekend mid-day meal, take a walk back through Riverside Park or stroll down Riverside Drive and admire the impressive monuments, grand apartment buildings, and views of the Hudson River, all while burning off a few calories of course.
Given the number of attractions and cultural institutions in the neighborhood, the Upper West Side is an ideal location to spend your stay in New York. The charming Excelsior Hotel is located right near the Museum of Natural History and Central Park. Meanwhile, the cozy and reasonably priced Belnord Hotel is another conveniently located option for the budget conscious traveler, as is the Comfort Inn Central Park West.

Q: Alternative HTML5 Canvas Clear Method The answer to this stackoverflow question effectively says to retrace the steps taken to draw a rectangle:
fillRect

by doing:
clearRect

First of all when I read this answer, I thought to just draw a white box the entire width and height of the canvas.
After thinking a bit more about how the Canvas element can save, and restore and the fact it implements a clearRect, does this mean that simply drawing another large rectangle could eat resources, if doing something like redrawing an entire bar graph every 100ms.
Originally drawing a bar graph every 100ms drew bars on top of each other, thus not being able to see the new bars because they're being layered.
But now, drawing a white rectangle as well, means that many rectangles are getting drawn, layered and it seems that the Canvas element tracks these?
Does this mean that it is possible to effectively overload the element, or overload the browser?

A: the canvas does not track the drawing operations, but it tracks states. And the color values of individual pixels. If you draw a red rectangle you actually set the state to "draw red" and then set a rectangular shaped area of pixels to the currently drawn color (there are also different other drawing operations than just draw red on-top but I don't have experience with the so I can't tell you much other than that they exist)
For performance reasons you want to (among many other things) minimize

*

*the amount of pixels you change

*the amount of states you change

the difference between clearRect and width = width is that clearRect clears out the pixel data in the given area, while width = width clears out all pixel data and all states, like transformations, and styles. I think you already see the difference, there are a lot more things to consider (like Garbage Collection blocking your drawloop being one) but that would get a bit offtopic.
I'm not sure what you mean with overloading the browser. If you mean blocking and making the UI unresponsive then yes it's a thing that can and will happen since javascript is single-threaded and there are many ways you can accomplish it, but most likely not with such a reasonable operation :)
The worst thing you can do with drawing is make it super choppy on slow CPUs. Using requestAnimationFrame() instead of setTimeout()(which I assume you currently use because you mentioned 100ms) for your drawloop(s) is almost always a good and safe way to make sure your drawing will not block the UI.

A:
the Canvas element tracks these [rectangles]

It doesn't track painting operations, as far as I know. (It's up to the implementation, but I don't know of any implementation that does.) You might be thinking of how it can save and restore things like transforms and paint colors.


What is Parvovirus (also known as Parvo)? Important information!
Parvovirus claims more innocent victims in Pontiac.
Parvovirus is a serious and deadly disease that strikes puppies and dogs. It is mostly dangerous to young puppies but can also affect older puppies and adult dogs that haven't been vaccinated regularly. It is so contagious that it can be transferred easily by any contact with an infected dog's feces. It can be transferred on the bottom of your shoes or on the tires of your vehicle.
The parvovirus can survive searing heat and subzero temperatures for long periods of time, which means the virus can survive long after the infected feces or animal has been removed. Some say the virus can live up to a year.
If you have a friend that had a puppy with parvo and you are visiting at your friend's house, you can easily take the virus home to your dogs on your shoes. If you are walking your dog in an area where an infected dog was, your dog will be exposed.
Most deaths occur within 2-4 days from the first symptoms. Parvo is very serious and puppies and dogs that get it suffer a great deal. It is very difficult to treat and very expensive.
How can I prevent Parvo?
There is no cure for Parvo. The best defense is to follow your veterinarian's vaccine schedule. Puppies need at least 3 or 4 vaccines to be protected and then yearly shots after that. Adult dogs need yearly shots.
What should I do if I think my dog has Parvo?
You should take your puppy or dog to the nearest vet clinic as soon as possible. Please seek medical care; your pet's life depends on it. If you cannot afford to treat your puppy or dog and decide to give the animal up, please take it to the nearest animal shelter as soon as possible or call someone for help.
Winter weather can mean increased risk for parvovirus. With snowfall, then quick melting, yards, sidewalks and streets are a danger for the parvovirus which can lay dormant during winter months – an unfortunate reality for dog owners is that their dogs are bound to step in some of this material.


I have suffered anxiety and panic attacks for many years, since I was about 12...I'm 28 now. Although not even my close family or friends know this. You could say on and off most of my adult life.
Being a sufferer of mainly panic and anxiety for longer than 20 years I now know with the advice given I will end this spiral of misery.
I would really like to thank you for giving people (and me) the possibility to understand that when we have panic attacks there is a way out.
I just wanted to let you know that your tutorials helped me deal with panic attacks 4 years ago and I got over them.
Thank you - I had the WORST panic attack, ever, today and your advice has made me feel much better (normal) already. I'm a trainee yoga teacher with not much to stress about and so I was feeling like I really was losing it.... thank you so much.
Thank you so much for this course. You have presented it in such an easy to understand manner and timed the gaps in- between emails to give the right timing to digest each tutorial.
First of all I must thank you. I have tried all sorts of things to try and help these panic attacks which I have had for years only now and again in times of stress in the past.


2. Work to your strengths but remember your limitations.
I'm usually a great navigator. I refuse to buy a GPS, not because of some manly desire to always know the directions, but because it's a fantastic mental exercise. I enjoy the test of looking at a map, remembering the route and then getting there. What's even better is being able to get to some new location a second time, without needing to look it up again. I don't have a great memory for details, but I have a great memory for generalities. Knowing this strength and weakness of mine is how I never get lost.
Remember the turn, not the name.
The usual method for navigation is to write down a step by step recipe, "Right at York, Left at Sayers" etc. Recalling these instructions not only involves remembering many distinct (and often peculiar) names, but it requires looking for itty bitty street signs whilst trying not to run over small animals or old ladies.
The problem with remembering specifics is that it's far too easy to get them wrong. This is especially true in suburbs where street names are often along a certain theme. Our suburb, for example, are named after New York streets. I grew up in a suburb where the street names were all native trees. The cues we use to remember words or names are easily confused when you're forced to pick one name from many thematically similar names. This is especially true when you see them one at a time instead of as a whole.
In reality, it's far easier to remember to turn left after the sports ground, or right at first roundabout, or straight until you reach the school. In a broader context, it's easier to remember generalities than it is to remember specifics, but more on that in a moment. It also means that once you've been to a location once, you have a visual memory of where to turn instead of just a name you need to try and recall.
Know when you don't know.
Before I go any further, if you're lost, pull over and look at the damn map. Nothing will make you look like more of an imbecile than driving around protesting, "I'm sure it was a left at that last junction". If you think you got it wrong, own up to it. Stop and have a look. Nobody will ever get angry at you for not knowing everything, but they will sure get pissed if you pretend you do.
In any situation, it's always better to say you need to look something up than to pretend you know. I've conducted possibly hundreds of job interviews of the years, and one trick that never failed me was to ask a candidate a question which they could not possibly remember. At least 80% of people try to prove their worth by having a guess, rambling incessantly and just hoping they hit the right answer or worse yet state a blatant untruth with absolute conviction in the hopes that if they believe it we will too. The 20% that say, "I don't know, I'd need to look it up" are the ones that get a big tick in my book. I'd rather work with someone who knows they don't know than someone who'd rather lead us all down the wrong path in an effort to impress.
Broad concepts are easier to recall than intricate details.
If you were to describe a movie plot to someone, you talk in broad terms about big ideas. It's unlikely that when describing Die Hard (the first and best), that you'd feel the need to mention that it was in LA or that the protagonist's name was John McClane. What you'd more likely describe is, a cop, a terrorist, an office tower, explosives and hostages. Even if you haven't seen the movie in 20 years, that is enough for you to start recalling your own finer details about the movie. Therefore, rather than trying to recall specifics, recall the big picture stuff and let your subconscious fill in the gaps for you.
Just as remembering a sports ground is easier than remembering a street name, it's also easier to remember general programming concepts than it is to remember specific syntactic rules. It's the main reason why when a developer learns one language, they can often easily jump from one to the next. Once you learn how to create a loop in one language, applying that same knowledge anywhere else is simply a matter of looking the syntax specifics of that language.
In a wider sense, broad knowledge of how an internal combustion engine works is far more beneficial (and easier to learn) than it is to learn the specifics of a particular make and model of car. Before fuel injection engines came along, pretty much ever car worked the same way. If you had replaced the distributor off a Toyota, you could probably do the same on a Ford. Knowing exactly how a distributor works isn't as important as knowing that all cars have them.
Learn to apply, not to recall.
Unless you're responsible for making split-second decisions in a critical scenario, you are most likely always going to have time to stop and look something up. It's far better to learn how to research and apply knowledge than it is to remember things off the top of your head. This is especially true given the wonderful source of information and knowledge that is the Internet. Whilst you may forget the specifics you learn today, you will still remember the general application of that knowledge in 20 years time.
If you have put your efforts into learning general principles and broad concepts, when you are faced with a new problem at the detailed level, your broad knowledge will allow you to fill in the gaps. Being adaptable is about taking general learning, twisting it and making it fit a new situation. If, in school, you spent your time memorising the formula for Newton's Second Law (Force = Mass x Acceleration), it will assist you in solving exactly one problem. If instead of memorising the formula, you learned how it can be altered, rearranged and applied with other formulae, then whenever you're confronted with any one of a hundred different problems, you're understanding of the concepts behind it all would allow you to invent a means to solve the problem. Anyone who spent their time rote learning formulae failed to gain the ability to apply the formula they're remembering!
In short, it is always easy to look up specifics, and it is always hard to look up their application.
