Personal wellness is vital to the success and professional satisfaction of every individual.
Nationally, rates of burnout are high among busy healthcare professionals. The School of Medicine has made wellness a high priority and strives to maximize wellness for all members of our community.
Dr. Claudia Finkelstein, clinical associate professor in the Division of General Internal Medicine, has been named Director of Faculty Wellness Programs for the School of Medicine. She co-chairs the Faculty Wellness Committee, heads the Peer Support program, and directs an education outreach program. Her educational training series includes events, workshops and two extended-training series: Mindfulness and Compassion Cultivation Training.
Quarterly, half-day faculty wellness workshops on varying topics.
The mindfulness-based-stress reduction (MBSR) program has been shown to reduce anxiety, depression and stress and increase empathy by enhancing the doctor–patient relationship.
Compassion increases happiness, strengthens connections, improves mental and physical health, and increases resilience. But because heart and mind are often neglected in the fast-paced stress of modern life, compassion must be re-cultivated. Developed by Stanford University's Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education, this program combines pedagogy with experiential practices such as meditation.
Peer support is a vital part of wellness in medical settings where stress levels can be high. Peer support programs initiated in other academic medical settings appear to be an effective strategy to help alleviate stress and associated burnout for faculty and staff.
Peer support offers a safe way for clinicians impacted by adverse events, medical errors, litigation or other workplace stressors—large and small—to talk about their experiences and emotions with someone whose empathy comes from having worked in a comparable setting. Peer support does not offer therapy, but rather provides a network of faculty clinicians who offer a listening ear to colleagues experiencing stressful situations. Peer supporters receive training in how to listen and respond as well as information about resources.

Libya (mythology)
Ancient Libya
Libya (Arabic: ليبيا Lībiyā) is a country in the Maghreb region of North Africa bordered by the Mediterranean Sea to the north, Egypt to the east, Sudan to the southeast, Chad and Niger to the south, and Algeria and Tunisia to the west. The three traditional parts of the country are Tripolitania, Fezzan and Cyrenaica. With an area of almost 1.8 million square kilometres (700,000 sq mi), Libya is the fourth largest country in Africa, and is the 16th largest country in the world. Libya has the 10th-largest proven oil reserves of any country in the world.
The largest city and capital, Tripoli, is located in western Libya and contains over one million of Libya's six million people. The other large city is Benghazi, which is located in eastern Libya.
Libya has been inhabited by Berbers since the late Bronze Age. The Phoenicians established trading posts in western Libya, and Ancient Greek colonists established city-states in eastern Libya. Libya was variously ruled by Persians, Egyptians and Greeks before becoming a part of the Roman Empire. Libya was an early center of Christianity. After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, the area of Libya was mostly occupied by the Vandals until the 7th century, when invasions brought Islam and Arab colonization. In the sixteenth century, the Spanish Empire and the Knights of St John occupied Tripoli, until Ottoman rule began in 1551. Libya was involved in the Barbary Wars of the 18th and 19th centuries. Ottoman rule continued until the Italian occupation of Libya resulted in the temporary Italian Libya colony from 1911 to 1943. During the Second World War Libya was an important area of warfare in the North African Campaign. The Italian population then went into decline. Libya became an independent kingdom in 1951.

Libya (from Greek: Λιβύη) is the daughter of Epaphus, King of Egypt, in both Greek and Roman mythology. She personified the land of Ancient Libya in North Africa, from which the name of modern-day Libya originated.
In Greek mythology, Libya, like Ethiopia or Scythia was one of the mythic outlands that encircled the familiar Greek world of the Hellenes and their "foreign" neighbors.
Personified as an individual, Libya was the daughter of Epaphus — King of Egypt and the son of Zeus and Io— and Memphis. Libya was ravished by the god Poseidon to whom she bore twin sons, Belus and Agenor. Some sources name a third son, named Lelex.
In Roman mythology, Libya was the daughter of Epaphus, King of Egypt, and his wife Cassiopeia. She married Neptune, a foreigner of much power whose real name is unknown. Libya and Neptune had a son called Busiris, who became a brutal tyrant of Upper Egypt.
The territory that she ruled, Ancient Libya, and the country of modern day Libya are named after her.
This page contains text from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia -	https://wn.com/Libya_(mythology)
The Latin name Libya (from Greek Λιβύη, Libyē) referred to the region west of the Nile Valley, generally corresponding to modern Northwest Africa. Its people were ancestors of the modern Berber people. Berbers occupied the area for thousands of years before the beginning of human records in Ancient Egypt. Climate changes affected the locations of the settlements. More narrowly, Libya could also refer to the country immediately west of Egypt, viz. Marmarica (Libya Inferior) and Cyrenaica (Libya Superior). The Libyan Sea or Mare Libycum was the part of the Mediterranean south of Crete, between Cyrene and Alexandria.
In the Greek period the Berbers were known as Libyans, a Greek term for the inhabitants of northwest Africa. Their lands were called Libya, and extended from modern Morocco to the western borders of Ancient Egypt. Modern Egypt contains the Siwa Oasis, historically part of Libya, where the Berber Siwi language is still spoken.
The name Libya (in use since 1934 for the modern country formerly known as Tripolitania and Barca) was the Latin designation for the region of Northwest Africa, from the Greek (Ancient Greek: Λιβύη Libúē, Λιβύᾱ Libúā, in the Attic and Doric dialects respectively).

1. Take Control of your Autofocus System: In order to always ensure that the camera autofocuses where and how you want, you need to take control of your AF system. Use AF-S Autofocus Mode and Single Point AF Autofocus Area Mode for still subjects, and use AF-C Autofocus Mode and Dynamic Area AF or 3D-Tracking Autofocus Area Mode for tracking moving subjects. Select your desired AF point so that the camera focuses on, or begins to track, your intended subject. Press the AF Mode Button and then turn the Command and Sub-Command Dials to change the Autofocus Mode and Autofocus Area Mode as you view the settings on the top LCD screen. There is so much more you can do with the AF system, including selecting the number of active AF points and determining exactly how it tracks moving subjects. I wrote an entire previous post that goes into more detail about the settings and capabilities of the D7000 autofocus system.
2. Set up your Dual SD Memory Card Slots: The two memory card slots of the D7000 can function in a couple different ways, including using one for RAW and the other for JPEG files, saving all your images to both cards simultaneously, using the second card as overflow when the first one fills up, or saving stills to one and movies to the other. You can set this up in the Shooting Menu under "Role played by card in slot 2." To set how the cards function for saving videos, use the Shooting Menu > Movie Settings > Destination.
3. Set or Create a Picture Control for your JPEG Images and Movies: If you are shooting in RAW (NEF) or JPEG and will be post-processing your images in Photoshop, Lightroom, or using the Nikon software, then you don't need to worry about Picture Controls. If that is the case, set the Picture Control for Standard or Neutral and that way the images that you view on the camera's rear LCD screen will be close to how they will appear in the actual RAW image file. However if you are not post-processing, you will want the images to come out of the camera looking as you want them to, so you will need to set, customize, or create a Picture Control that best creates your desired look. Adjust the contrast, saturation, brightness, and sharpening to achieve the look you are after. Save the Picture Controls you have created to access them later. You can even create your own styles using the included software, or find them online and download them. There are styles to be found online that recreate the look of various roll films including Kodachrome and Velvia.
5. Make use of Exposure Compensation: Explore the various options in Custom Setting b3 to customize exactly how exposure compensation works. Set it so that you press the Exposure Compensation Button first before turning a dial to change EC, or have it set so that you can just turn a dial to quickly and directly change EC. You can even select which dial you use with Custom Setting f6. And you can set it so that the EC amount that you dialed in stays set for the subsequent shots, or that it is automatically reset to zero, depending on which controls you use to set EC. This last option is the most sophisticated and most flexible, and may be the best one to learn and use. Using this option, On (Auto reset), you can choose to turn a dial to directly adjust EC, but your EC setting will be reset when the camera or exposure meter turns off . This is because you can still continue to use the Exposure Compensation Button with a Command Dial to set EC, but by setting it this way, EC will not be reset when the camera or meter turns off. EC will only be automatically reset if you set it directly using the dial without the button. So if you wish to use EC for just one shot, you can adjust EC with just the dial. But if you wish to take a series of shots with the same adjusted EC, you can use the button/ dial combination to set it more "permanently." Pretty powerful stuff! This is why you got the D7000, right? So that you can take advantage of these sophisticated controls!
Brief Commercial Interruption: Are you already getting a little confused? Want to learn more about these and other features of the D7000? I recently completed an e-book user's guide for the Nikon D7000 called Nikon D7000 Experience that explains all of this and much more. The guide covers all the Menus, Custom Settings, functions and controls of the Nikon D7000, focusing modes, exposure modes, shooting modes, white balance, etc., PLUS when and why you may want to use them when shooting. As one reader has said, "This book, together with the manual, is all you need to start discovering all the camera's potential." It will help you to take control of your camera and the images you create! Learn more about the features and settings discussed in the " tips and tricks" here and much more. To read more about the book, preview it, and purchase it, see my Full Stop bookstore website here!
6. Fine-Tune the Exposure Metering Modes: Using Custom Setting b5, you can fine-tune the exposure for each of the different Exposure Metering Modes (Matrix, Center-Weighted Average, Spot), all independently. For example, if you find that Center-Weighted metering is slightly under-exposing all the time, fine-tune it for +1/3 or +2/3 using Custom Setting b5. This tweaks the exposure behind the scenes, independent of exposure compensation. You can still continue to use EC as always, on top of this fine-tuning.
7. Lock Exposure and Focus Independently: Sometimes you need to lock the focus distance before recomposing, or lock the metered exposure setting for one shot or for several shots in a row. Or sometimes you need to lock both focus and exposure for the same shot, perhaps independently of each other. By default, the Shutter Button locks focus when you half-press it and exposure is determined when you fully press the Shutter Button to take the shot. You can use Custom Setting c1 to have the Shutter Button half-press also lock exposure, or better yet use Custom Setting f3 to use the Fn Button for locking exposure. You can even set it so that you either press and hold the Fn Button or just press it and release. Then you can use Custom Setting f5 to set the AE-L/AF-L Button for locking focus. This is known as back-button focusing and that way you can lock these settings independently. Learning to use back-button focus and even exposure lock can be awkward at first, and you may not fully understand why it is necessary. But I highly recommend starting to experiment with them, then hopefully getting in the habit of using them all the time – especially if you shoot a lot of action scenes or situations where you are rapidly taking lots of photos (perhaps a wedding and reception), or if you are recomposing your framing between when you focus and when you take the shot. You may soon find them both indispensable and wonder how you once managed without them!
8. Reverse the Values of the Exposure Indicators: In the viewfinder and on the top LCD screen of the Nikon D7000, the exposure indicator shows the negative values on the right and the positive values on the left. Perhaps you find this as counter-intuitive as I do. Ever since grade school, negative values have always been to the left! Plus with the histogram, the brighter values are shown on the right of the graph, and thus to make use of exposure compensation you would dial to the negative side to correct for over-exposed values, thus moving your histogram to the left. So why do you have to move the value to the right on the exposure indicator? It can obviously cause great confusion! Use Custom Setting f9 to reverse the indicators to the more logical orientation.
9. Put Your Most Used Settings in My Menu: Instead of digging into the menus and Custom Settings all the time to find your most used settings, you can create your own custom menu called My Menu, which is then quickly and easily accessed with the Menu Button. You can even decide what order to list the items in. Set up My Menu by selecting Choose Tab in the Recent Settings menu, and select My Menu. Then Add Items and Rank Items in the order you desire. You can add items from most all of the Menus and Custom Settings Menus. Determine what settings you are digging into the menus to look for and change most often, and put them in My Menu, such as maybe Format and White Balance (for more WB options and fine-tuning). I recommend you include Format since you should re-format your memory card each time you are ready to clear off that card, and not just Erase All. However, put Format lower down in My Menu so that you don't have a tragic memory card accident.
10. Make Use of the Other Exposure Modes: While Matrix Metering will do an excellent job of determining the proper exposure of an image the majority of the time, there are some situations where you may wish to use the other exposure modes – Center-Weighted Metering and Spot Metering. This includes dramatically backlit situations, subjects with a dramatically dark background, scenes that contain a wide range of highlights and shadow areas, or other dramatic lighting situations. It is best to turn to one of these other modes to ensure you properly meter for the subject and don't blow the shot. If the background is not dramatically lighter or darker than the subject, but you still want to ensure that the camera's metering system concentrates on the subject and not the entire scene, use Center-Weighted. This is a situation where you may wish to lock in the exposure and recompose if your subject is not going to be in the center in the final framing. You can even use Custom Setting b4 to change the size of the area being metered with Center-Weighted metering. If the background is very dark or light and you want the camera to ignore it and just meter on a certain critical area of the scene, use Spot metering. Again, meter for that critical area, lock the exposure, and recompose.
10a. Quickly Use Spot Metering to Determine a Critical Exposure: You can use Custom Setting f4 to assign the Depth-of-Field Preview Button to Spot Metering so that you can quickly meter for a precise area without having to take your eye from the viewfinder and change the Metering Mode. Versatile Custom Settings such as this are a big part of what makes the D7000 such a powerful, customizable camera, and this demonstrates why it is worthwhile to completely understand and take advantage of these advances capabilities.
There are many more great features and settings of the Nikon D7000 to take advantage of. You have a powerful camera in your hands, so why not learn to take advantage of its advanced features?! Have a look at my e-book guide Nikon D7000 Experience to learn more about the settings, features, and controls mentioned here, and so much more. Learn to take control of your camera and the images you create!
Have a look at that post I mentioned earlier about the autofocus system of the D7000, and another post I've written which discusses the Menus and Custom Settings of the D7000. Some of the same items are addressed, but there is also much additional information to be found in the older posts.

great tips! I need to take my camera out more often and practice. I'm so under practice its not even funny. almost feels like its a waste for me to have such an awesome dslr.
Interesting read, I've had my D7000 for 8 months and still getting to grips with the less well used settings, your tips on the metering will come in very useful thank you.
Great article, thanks for that! I have a question, if you could help. I used to be able to see the exposure indicator on the top lcd and now it doesn't show anymore. Not sure what I changed but I need it back.
At the moment I can see the values in the viewfinder and the back lcd. At the back lcd I can only see them if I click info. Every time I take a picture I have to click info to see it again. However at the top lcd it doesn't show ever! Any ideas? Please help!
Thanks! Actually, there isn't an exposure indicator scale on the top LCD. You can only view it on the back and in the Viewfinder. I may have mentioned a top panel exposure indicator in my articles or in my guides, but this actually doesn't apply to the D7000, and is my mistake (well, Nikon considers the numbers that are displayed to be an "exposure indicator" on the top panel). Have a look at page 8 of the Nikon D7000 manual to see that the scale is not there!
Hi Doug, et. al.-very good info indeed. I'm hoping you can answer a question I've been struggling for months to find an answer to.
A histogram would automatically display each time I took an exposure, but somehow, I hit something that made it go away and for the life of me I can't determine how to get it to display again. It is SO helpful to me, so I'm really hoping you can tell me what to do.
Hello, When reviewing your images by pressing the Playback Button, you can then press up or down on the Multi Selector thumb pad to view the various playback displays, including the Histogram. If you are still unable to see it, you may have to go into the Playback Menu > Playback Display Options, and enable the Histogram option. Hope this helps!
It seems the correct command to reverse the values of exposure indicator is f8.
Great tips. Thanks a lot.
Thanks! Reverse Indicators is f9 on the D7000 (when I originally wrote this article) and f8 on the D7100.


Another Level may have been reduced to a two-piece but there's no truth in the rumour they're to be renamed Another Duo!
Dane Bowers laughs at the suggestion that he and Mark Baron would be given the new monicker following the departure of Bobak Kianoush and Wayne Williams.
"We're still going out as Another Level and now we've taken a break following the traumatic change we're going to be busier than ever," reveals Dane.
On Sunday Dane and Mark fly to Los Angeles to record This Must Be Love, a track for a Phil Collins tribute album.
"Phil's a great artist and a marvellous writer," Dane says. "For the track we're teaming up with Kellis and producer Montel Jordan."

Q: quicksort gets rid of duplicate values I tried to write some code to get quicksort running in javascript, but the final array is returned without duplicates (if it originally had some)
function quickSort(array) {
  if (array.length <= 1) return array;
  var pivot = array[0];

var left = quickSort(array.filter(item =>item < pivot));
var right = quickSort(array.filter(item =>item > pivot));

//console.log('left ',left);
//console.log("right ",right);

  return [...left,pivot,...right];
}

console.log(quickSort([5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 1, 2])); // <- this returns [1,2,3,4,5]

A: The problem is that you're filtering by only keeping items that are strictly lower (<) or strictly higher (>) than your pivot.
You can fix this by changing one of your conditions to <= instead of < (or >= instead of >). Note that when you do that, you must make sure that the pivot element is taken out of the array.
So in this line:
var left = quickSort(array.filter(item =>item < pivot));

We can take the pivot out by calling array.slice(1) (note that this isn't very efficient, see modified solution at the end). Then we change the condition to <=, and the final code becomes:
function quickSort(array) {
  if (array.length <= 1) return array;
  var pivot = array[0];

  var left = quickSort(array.slice(1).filter(item =>item <= pivot));
  var right = quickSort(array.filter(item =>item > pivot));

//console.log('left ',left);
//console.log("right ",right);

  return [...left,pivot,...right];
}

console.log(quickSort([5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 1, 2])); // [1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5]

A more elegant solution would be to remove the pivot from the array before filtering it. Instead of using slice, you can use shift() to remove the first item from an array. Modified solution becomes:
function quickSort(array) {
  if (array.length <= 1) return array;
  var pivot = array[0];
  // Remove first element
  array.shift()

  var left = quickSort(array.filter(item =>item <= pivot));
  var right = quickSort(array.filter(item =>item > pivot));

  return [...left,pivot,...right];
}

console.log(quickSort([5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 1, 2])); // [1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5]
