Employment of object-oriented programming (OOP) techniques may help to improve code readability, and hence its auditability and maintainability - both being crucial for scientific software. OOP offers, in particular, the possibility to reproduce the mathematical "blackboard abstractions" within the program codes. The talk will present three object-oriented implementations of a prototype solver of the advection equation employing one of the NCAR-developed numerical solvers - the Multidimensional Positive-Definite Advection Transport Algorithm (MPDATA). Presented programs are based on Blitz++ (C++), NumPy (Python), and Fortran's built-in array handling facilities. The introduced codes will serve as a basis for discussion on the tradeoffs of the programming language choice for object-oriented scientific programming. The main angles of comparison are code brevity and syntax clarity (and hence maintainability and auditability) as well as performance. Performance tests are performed with free and open-source compilers including GNU g++ and gfortran, LLVM/Clang, CPython and PyPy. The talk will summarise key findings presented in http://arxiv.org/abs/1301.1334
I'm a PhD student at the Faculty of Physics, University of Warsaw, Poland where I study aerosol, cloud, and precipitation microphysics, mostly by means of numerical modelling. I'm a software developer, coding mostly for free/libre/open-source projects in scientific computing and data analysis. Besides the projects developed at work I'm contributing since 2009 to the GNU Data Language project. This year I'm co-organising the "FOSS for Scientists" devroom at the FOSDEM conference.

Des Moines, March 15, 2017— On Tuesday, April 4, the Iowa Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in Charles City, Iowa. The proceeding will take place in the Old Charles City Middle School auditorium, 500 North Grand Avenue. The oral arguments are open to the public and will begin at 7 p.m.
The court will hear attorneys argue in the following case:
Spencer J. Ludman vs. Davenport Assumption High School, case no. 15-1191, from Scott County District Court
Defendant in premises liability action appeals from the judgment entered on a jury verdict finding defendant's negligence was responsible for injuries the plaintiff baseball player sustained when struck by a foul ball while standing in an unprotected part of the visitor's dugout at defendant's baseball field. Plaintiff suggests the appeal presents important issues regarding the safety of the facilities at which student athletes participate. Defendant suggests sponsors of sporting events face an avalanche of litigation if the limited-duty rule is discarded in this context.
A public reception with the supreme court justices will follow the oral arguments in the school cafeteria.
Note to Editors: News media are invited to attend the oral arguments. Court rules apply regarding still camera, video camera, audio recording devices, and other electronic devices used during the oral arguments. Information on expanded media coverage is available on the Iowa Judicial Branch website.
The Iowa Court Rules regarding cameras and other electronic devices in courtrooms are on the Iowa Legislature website (PDF).

Works really well in a diffuser
amazing product work well with the kids when they are sick
This stuff is fantastic always using it for when my kids are sick too i love it
Eucalyptus is such a versatile oil! Like it.
Great product! We use it for cleaning. Love the larger size. Agree that it would be better if it had a dropper spout.
Love the bigger size (previously used 30 ml) but I wish you could have a tap a drop opening in the larger bottle the same as you have in the smaller one. I tend to spill . . .
I always buy this product because I like the large bottle. We use a lot in our diffuser when there's a cold/flu season and we don't seem to be catching any colds, even though I work at a hospital. The oil is not very concentrated and the scent is not as saturated as I would like it to be, but the product is convenient due to good value and large volume, so we buy it all the time.
Can't believe how inexpensive this bottle is for such a large format. Keep it up Healthy Planet. I use this in my diffuser all the time.
Large bottle . Good price. Works well in diffuser. Or as a cleaning product.

The Tastebook™ sensory training initiative will be elevated to a new level with a live sensory workshop on Saturday 20 October, led by sensory scientist Dr Soumi Paul Mukhopadhyay with other key olive oil tasting experts.
The workshop will be based on the same aspects of the training program in appreciating, describing and understanding how to improve the quality of EVOO and table olives but also have a major focus on discussion.
Dr Paul Mukhopadhyay said the main aim of the event is to encourage questions from all participants – from industry experts to those new to olives.
"I'm hopeful that open discussion will create more interest in sensory testing and give a wide range of people the opportunity to understand how to sensory test well," she said.
"There will be a range of products to test from EVOO to table olives, and I'd encourage everyone who plans to come to the workshop to have a list of questions for me!"
Update: Tastebook™ Round 4 samples and basic instructions are now being posted to registered participants. Detailed instructions and training materials will also be emailed to registered participants, with a link to the Tastebook™ Round 4 on-line SurveyMonkey survey response form which is 'live' through to 3 September 2018.

In today's post, we will focus our attention on one of the most important and relevant recruiting metrics – namely the average time to find a hire. Business owners, recruiters, and entrepreneurs depend on this data as it points actionable insights.
It's as simple as this: the purpose of these recruiting metrics is to answer quintessential questions regarding your business' operation. In regard to the average time to find a hire metric, this sheds some light on your company's hiring process, outlining the way in which your recruiting team manages this.
Defining the Time to Find a Hire Metric
The hiring process can last between a couple of days and a couple of months. Effectively, the industry in which your firm operates will widely influence this metric, of course, as there are particular specifications for every industry. That being said, the time to find a hire represents the time it takes for your recruiting team to find the perfect candidate for a position.
At the same time, this metric outlines how fast you move when you pinpoint you've found the right person – as this matters just as much.
Some people use this metric interchangeably with another equally important metric – namely the time to fill. In this view, we could define the time to find a hire as a specific number of days between a position has been opened and the job offer has been extended.
On the other hand, other people separate the time to find a hire from the time to fill, pointing that the time to hire timeline commences when your best candidate applies or gets sourced. To that end, this would portray how quickly your hiring team operates after having identified the best potential candidate.
What Does This Metric Display?
So, what should your aim be: to have a short or long hiring process? Where are the advantages of drawbacks linked to each?
Now, in the case in which your hiring process is too short, this would mean that your screening for the right candidates isn't thorough enough. Additionally, this increases the risk of making unsuitable hires. This is why, every now and then, you should analyze your quality of hire trends against the time to hire. You should pinpoint whether there are specific correlations between hiring qualified people and hiring people right away.
In the case in which a shorter hiring time seems to negatively impact the quality of your hiring, then, you might consider incorporating an additional screening stage, such as an assessment of skills. On the other hand, some companies take too much time until they make a hire. More specifically, the best candidates might be secured by your competition, not to mention that a long hiring experience could influence the candidate experience on the whole.
In order to have a balanced time to find a hire for your industry, you should aim at making the hiring process as efficient as possible. At the same time, it might be a good idea to invest in hiring tools, which could bring positive results.

Roshni Mahtani Cheung
Founder and CEO of theAsianparent, 36
Meet BAZAAR's league of extraordinary women. Singapore visionaries under 40, they are paving the way in the tech and digital spheres and proving that the future is not only female, the future is now.
Mahtani Cheung is the founder and CEO of theAsianparent, the largest mother and child platform across Southeast Asia with an extensive reach of 20 million monthly users. Her various online publications boast quality digital content for women, by women. Warm, honest and articulate, the tenacious technopreneur talks important life lessons and what it's like to finally turn the tables.
What in your background prepared you to be an entrepreneur?
My family going broke. When the Asian economic crisis hit, it hit us hard. I had to work odd jobs like handing out flyers at MRT stations and conducting surveys door-to-door, to support myself through school and help out with bills. I learned the value of money and hard work during that period; which totally upped my adversity quotient.
Was switching from a publishing company to a media and tech company difficult for you?
Early in my career, I was in media and journalism, so I wasn't very techy. But I've found that thinking like an engineer has really helped me grow the company. That was a necessary shift both personally and in terms of the direction of the company, because digital media platforms just blew up. You couldn't ignore an opportunity like that. It was exciting more than it was difficult.
Have you ever felt that being a woman made it challenging for you in your field?
When I was starting out, absolutely. Tech was definitely not a woman's game back then. I had meetings where senior executives would direct their questions at my male junior employees instead of me. It wasn't easy to ignore, but it did light a fire in me to turn the tables one day. I hope I sound more triumphant than vindictive; but that day is here.
What are some of the biggest lessons you have learned in your journey so far?
Always read the fine print; keep your eyes on cash and profit no matter how dazzling your revenue may be; go hyper-local whenever you enter a new market. In a broader sense, take your time when you hire someone. The company is your second family, and your standards have to be very high when welcoming someone into it. The same goes for your whole ecosystem. It boils down to whom you can trust and who you want to grow with.

The Power of Pre-Approval*
Here's why a pre-approval* commitment letter is better than a prequalification:
- Buy with Confidence: All financials have already been provided, underwritten, and approved.
- More buying power: Competes with a cash offer since the loan is already approved.
- Faster closing timeframe
*Mortgage pre-approval offer is valid for 90 days. If a formal mortgage application is not submitted with 90 days of the issuance of the pre-approval Rondout Savings Bank will consider the pre-approval expired. This commitment is subject to reconsideration and/or termination by Rondout Savings Bank if there is any material change in your financial status or with information provided by you in your mortgage application or issues regarding the condition of the property. Prior to loan origination all terms and conditions as stated in the commitment letter must be agreed to and/or satisfied. Certain conditions apply.

Londoner Jonathan Treasure has been described as a thought leader in western herbal medicine. After graduating medical sciences from Cambridge University in the late 60s, and then dropping out of neuroscience research in Harvard Medical School to become a student of Tibetan Buddhism, he later studied herbal medicine at the UK School of Phytotherapy, and moved to the left coast of the US 25 years ago.
He is an author, international speaker and blogger with a reputation for critical wit especially in theory and philosophy of herbalism: His dual expertise in biomedical science and traditional western herbal therapeutics brings realtime interdisciplinary insights to both theory and practice – exemplified by the Mosby textbook "Herb, Nutrient and Drug Interactions" and in his clinical practice that specializes in botanical medicine for people with cancer.

Carbon is considered to be the sixth element which has sixth electrons in the totality. In the electronic configuration of the carbon, the first two will be held by the 1s orbital, the next two in the 2s orbital, and the remaining ones will be held by the 2p orbital.
Carbon Electron Dot Diagram
Electron diagram is also known as Lewis dot diagram since it is first used by the Gilbert N. Lewis.
This diagram is used as a notation to depict the numbers of electron valence in an atom. If you are seeking for the carbon electron dot diagram then here you can find the one.
How Do You Figure Out The Electron Configuration
As we have elaborated above that there are sixth electrons in the carbon, and in the electronic configuration of the carbon, all these electrons are taken by the orbital. This configuration can be shown as 1s22s22p2.

People in Slovenia face many different types of trauma, including violence, abuse, suicide, divorce, alcoholism, depression, post war wounds and division. This can have a negative impact on individuals, families and communities. The Bible Society of Slovenia is starting a trauma healing project in order to help people deal with and overcome their traumas.
Training sessions are being organised to teach people an effective Biblical approach to overcoming trauma. These sessions will train people to become 'trauma healing facilitators' who can work within their own community to help individuals and families.
The Bible Society of Slovenia wants to empower and help people to find new life in Christ through His Word.

Daily Stormer
December 1, 2018
I assume that all the THOTs involved in the production of this TMZ drama were indeed harmed in the filming of the following scenes.
TMZ Sports has obtained video of Kansas City Chiefs star running back Kareem Hunt shoving, bull-rushing and kicking a woman in a Cleveland hotel back in February.
In the video, Hunt is seen arguing with a 19-year-old woman outside of his room at The Metropolitan at the 9 at 3:22 AM on February 10, 2018.
Hunt turns a corner and confronts the woman, shoving her hard. The woman strikes him back in the face … and that's when Hunt goes berserk.
As friends try to hold him back, the 2017 Pro Bowler — who led the league in rushing yards — explodes and knocks one of his friends into the woman … who both go flying into a wall.
Both Kareem's male friend and the woman appear dazed — but Kareem makes his way over to the female and kicks her while she's crouching on the ground … knocking her over.
Police were called to the scene but no arrests were made. According to police reports, obtained by TMZ Sports, surveillance video from the hotel was obtained by law enforcement. We're told that video is part of the evidence that was submitted to prosecutors.
That's interesting.
So the cops aren't too alarmed by this.
Kareem's friends told cops the woman had gone crazy when asked to leave and called Kareem the n-word … and then struck one of Kareem's female friends once things turned physical.
Ah, well it was self-defense then. Case closed.
I don't think the feminists will jump to defend these White THOTs either. And the NFL wants to bury this story, to keep their man in the game for a little while longer. And the mainstream media? Seems like they won't side with a white woman over a black man anymore.
That leaves only Daily Stormer-approved White Supremacist tabloids like TMZ that are still willing to report the gossip that the Jew-controlled media refuses to cover!
And they do it for us… the people.
Frankly, I am shocked by how aggressive the THOTs in the video are. They clearly were used to White men putting up with their shit (probably because of the aforementioned cops, courts, and activist groups) and were shocked at the ensuing chimp out.
Like, I'm not saying that we should bring back white honor killings… but we should probably bring back white honor killings.
Still, it's not all bad.
I think this latest negro chimp out could be an instructional experience for all the roasties out there. Your days are numbered.
You're all between a rock and a hard place, if you think about it.
The way I see it, the future looks bleak for all of you.
You've got niggers using your faces for punting practice to look forward to.

Supplier Spotlight: EP2S Compensation Solutions
Eugene Epps, a certified compensations professional, made the ultimate decision to embark on a new journey after 30 years of experience in the corporate human resources industry. Today he is the founder and managing partner of 11-year old EP2S Compensation Solutions, LLC, a minority-owned business and ConnXus+ supplier based in Houston, TX.
Hands down, HR rewards and benefits' programs should not decrease a company's bottom-line—instead, HR programs should, "provide a positive impact and return on the organization's HR dollar, as well as encourage career development that benefits the company and its employees," explains Epps.
Since its founding in 2004, EP2S Compensation Solutions, prides itself on developing employee pay, retirement and healthcare programs that produce maximum return-on-investment (ROI) for both the company and employees. The consulting firm is also known for developing and implementing sound reward programs that support a company's strategic business and HR objectives.
For example, today's employer-sponsored health insurance plans (fully insured or self-insured) annually cost a company and its employees thousands or millions of dollars, while producing a negative impact and return on the organization's healthcare dollar, cash-flow, operations and bottom-line. EP2S Compensation Solutions has recently launched a new and innovative healthcare pay program called EP2S Healthcare Benefit Rewards. This new "Program" is designed to annually save a company and its employees thousands to millions of dollars while producing a positive impact and return on the organization's healthcare dollar, cash-flow, operations and bottom-line.
To learn more about the new healthcare pay program, Epps has published the book EP2S Health Care Benefit Rewards Program that can be ordered on line by visiting www.ep2s.net.
When asked about the firm's major milestones in its 11-years of operation, Epps responded, "I am most proud of the development and implementation of our revolutionary job evaluation system—EP2S Broadbanding. The system was developed on behalf of a client's need to simplify and streamline its organization as well as the job writing and evaluation process, all while reducing labor costs." Epps has a book published on the EP2S Broadbanding job evaluation system.
Additionally, the firm developed and implemented an innovative pay program for Kinder Morgan's non-exempt field operations employees. This new program simplified their client, Kinder Morgan's, ability to train, classify and offer reward programs for their non-exempt field employees. Also among EP2S Compensation Solutions clients are Occidental Petroleum Corporation, Dow Corning–Settlement Facility Trust and Spectra Energy.
Epps, a member of the National Association of African Americans in Human Resources (NAAAHR), has been a ConnXus+ supplier for one year and on Wednesday, November 18.

How many carbohydrates in red house wine
Best answer:
Answer by Mathias
Wines vary substantially depending on their alcoholic content and whether they have residual sugar, but a 5-ounce glass of dry white table wine may have 1.0 to 1.25 grams of carbohydrates, while a similar portion of red may go up to 2.5 grams, and sweet wines with their high sugar content will have substantially more, up to the range of 10 grams in a 3-ounce serving of a strong dessert wine like Port.

A meta romp through a bone-dry zom-com with an eco message.
IMDB Synopsis: The peaceful town of Centerville finds itself battling a zombie horde as the dead start rising from their graves.
There aren't many genres of film and television that have the audience fatigue of zombies. A pop culture mainstay since Romero in the late '60s, the genre was reborn in the twenty-aughts, but the audiences have grown weary after the nth season of The Walking Dead, zombie gore like Overlord, and apocalyptic high school musicals like Anna and the Apocalypse (which is good). But luckily, auteur director Jim Jarmusch's The Dead Don't Die brings a certain angle to the genre, which has been, ahem, starved for new blood in recent years.
The film is set in the small town of Centerville—a rural backwater of everyday America—where we immediately meet our protagonists: Grumpy Chief Cliff Robertson (Bill Murray) and stoic Officer Ronnie Peterson (Adam Driver). They must uncover what's causing the mysterious deaths occurring in the sleepy burgh. Not exactly original territory, but the way they tread on the well worn is funny, dry and meta. "I'm thinking zombies," Adam Driver's character deadpans when asked about his theory. "You know, the Undead. Ghouls." That line sets the tone for the film.
As the undead threat worsens and the body count rises (including a seductive Selena Gomez, a kindly Danny Glover, and ornery/racist Steve Buscemi), our protagonists don't seem to panic, maybe because they know they're doomed. It's a zombie movie, after all. And that's where the movie has fun. It doesn't take itself seriously, its characters are in on the joke, and while it's a bit disjointed at times, the movie knows that a good zombie flick is supposed to be fun and a little irreverent.
Lastly, the movie is clearly an allegory for consumerism, rather over-consumerism. Not surprising, as all zombie movies are allegories for something (World War Z is an ecological parable; One Cut Left For The Dead is about art vs. commerce; 28 Days Later is about the state of the human condition). This is where the movie is the clunkiest and a little heavy handed. But I don't hold it against the film. Jarmusch had a message, and it was received loud and clear.
Highlights: The wonderful cast and the dry dialogue. Everyone buys in. From the airy yet steeled Selena Gomez to the very weird Tilda Swinton to an anxious Chloë Sevigny to the Iggy Pop zombie.
MVP: Adam Driver. He's one of our generation's best actors and doesn't phone it in for this small movie. He's worked with Gilliam, Baumbach, Abrams, Spike Lee, and Scott Z. Burns on very serious, very lauded films in the last two years. He just gets to have fun here and it shows.
Should you see it: It's probably not for everyone, but give it a shot! 7.5/10.
Director: Jim Jarmusch
Studio: Focus // Original release date: June 14, 2019

Welcome to "My Deconstruction Blog". I am writing this blog for a very specific audience, and most likely this blog is not for you.
If you are a Christian who is fully content in your walk with the Lord, I am very happy for you! But this blog is not for you.
You have lost your faith in the church. You have lost your faith in the bible. You have even lost your faith in God. All the faith you had built around you has now collapsed and there is nothing left but the rubble.
If you have traveled this path, then you know how lonely it can be. And that is why I am writing this blog.
This blog, my friend, is for you.

The role of a Captain and his committee is to put the member golfing experience at the heart of what we do – always. So, as we reflect on 2012, we have much to celebrate – but some challenges remain.
2012 has seen our course mature wonderfully under the able management of Duncan and Debbie. We are ranked in the top 100 courses in SA at 54; the course becomes increasingly popular with the visiting public; golf rounds are up by 15% this year over last and the Pro Shop, under the able management of John, has a whole new fashion range!
Our challenges remain the ambience of the bar. We intend changing the configuration to encourage a more social vibe after the game and more social events for members and their families. The halfway house remains a challenge in achieving a turn-around time of 12 minutes. On busy days we will take meal orders at sign in, in the Proshop, or serve a set menu. On not so busy days, John and the clubhouse staff will hurry people along. I raise this, because during the holidays there is a tendency for players to 'settle in' over lunch. Your co-operation in this required is required.
There's not much we can do about the weather, but I am assured by our local farmers that summer truly starts in December in Nottingham Road.
So, for those members spending the festive season in Nottingham Road, make as much use of our great facility as you can. Use the member allocated times, book early – and hit the ball solid!
Wishing you and your families a peaceful and safe festive season and a swing-easy 2013.

Let's resume our discussion series on enhancing exposures. Last time I discussed ways of making exposures fun and engaging. This will really help with doing actual treatment in session. However, a major focus of treatment should also be on a concept called generalization. This is simply helping to complete exposures in other settings so that improvements from treatment start showing in everyday life.
A concept I like to aim for by the end of treatment is called the "exposure lifestyle". The idea of this is to live everyday by doing at least one exposure. If you beat social anxiety, make sure to continue to talk to a stranger each day, if you beat contamination OCD, eat when your hands feel contaminated. This will act as your mental health vitamin, which will prevent anxiety coming back. By living the exposure lifestyle, you keep your brain fresh and make it much less likely that you will ever relapse.
In order to live the exposure lifestyle, you need generalization: You need to do exposures in all aspects of your life, in all situations. In order to do this, one important thing to figure out is how to come up with ideas for exposures in every day life. This is an area that people can have a hard time with, and I can understand why, because we don't often think about how we can turn everyday activities into something that creates anxiety. Why would we? Doesn't that sound a little miserable? But it's really not. For people who suffer from an anxiety disorder, this is actually key to completing treatment, ensuring generalization of gains. Another way I like to think of this is as a "mental vaccination". By doing daily exposures in everyday settings, you are vaccinating yourself against that anxiety returning. You are not letting that weed grow again.
Not enough therapists do this, and it hinders treatment. To make treatment more effective, therapists should think about how to get exposures going in everyday life. If you are in treatment, you should be encouraged to do exposures in other settings than the therapy office. This will take the treatment that's being done, and apply it in other areas of life such that generalization starts to occur. I've written extensively about how this prevents future relapse and maximizes gains, and the research strongly supports this.
So, how can we make sure that exposures are done in everyday life? To do this there are two routes. The first is to find out a person's interests, the activities they do the most, and find ways to complete exposures within this. This will be a topic for another time. However, what we are going to focus on is how some common activities can be turned into exposure activities. That way, you will be equipped with ideas to help you generalize your treatment gains in everyday life. Today, I'll just focus on social anxiety, but next week I'll address other issues too (e.g. OCD, GAD, and panic disorder).
Social Anxiety Exposure Treatment
To my mind, there are a couple of important targets in social anxiety treatment.
1) First, there is the fear that people will judge you. When social anxiety is high, this belief is often a little too strong and we want to disconfirm that people are judging you all the time. We can test this by violating assumptions about how people react. For example, if I talk to someone and expect them to frown at me for asking a stupid question, imagine how surprising it might be if they instead smile. Because social anxiety often causes someone to withdraw and not interact a ton, or not interact in unsafe ways (e.g. asking dumb questions), there are not enough opportunities to violate these beliefs. Exposure therapy creates these opportunities.
2) The second is the belief that if people do judge you, it's a terrible thing. Let's face it, people do judge others and so exposures shouldn't just be about proving that no-one has negative beliefs of others, as that simply isn't true. Instead, we want to learn that it's not the end of the world if others do judge you. That you can survive it. Because social anxiety causes social withdrawal or avoidance, there are often not enough opportunities to tolerate being judged by others as you play it safe. Exposure therapy also creates these opportunities.
A Couple of Tips:
Whenever you do an exposure, do it all the way. That means full eye contact, not hiding away, not apologizing etc. If you hide or shrink away in the moment (what we call avoidance) it undoes the exposure.
Before you do the exposure, know exactly why you are doing it and what you are testing. The most important thing to ask yourself afterwards is "what did I learn?", and so if the exposure isn't designed well then you'll not get as much out of it.
Social Anxiety Exposure Ideas
Now we know our primary treatment targets, let's look at a short list of exposure ideas in every day activities. Making sure that you do exposures in all of these areas will cause generalization. This will reduce social anxiety a lot more, and mean that in all aspects of life you have social anxiety under control. It will also prevent social anxiety coming back in the future. Not all the examples listed below will apply to everyone, this is simply meant to give ideas that you can adapt to specifically target whatever the fear is. If you think an area is missing, please comment and I'll add some ideas. I could write a million different examples, but this is simply meant to provoke your own imagination. Happy exposure hunting ?
– Ask for help finding items (especially something that's either really obvious or super obscure). Ask several times in one trip. This will target fear of burdening people or being judged. Hopefully you'll learn that either people don't seem to mind, or if they do that it wasn't that bad!
– Try bartering for an item (damaged or not). You'll learn that either it works and you save money, or that being told "no" is not so bad.
– Buy something and then return it. This will face your fear that the shopkeeper may think badly of you.
– Go into a shop that makes you feel uncomfortable. For me, that would be walking around Victoria's Secret looking for a gift card. For others it could be a really quiet shop or a really busy one. Stay in the shop until your anxiety comes down, which it will.
– Beep your horn at someone! Or drive a little slower so you end up being followed by at least a couple of cars. You'll learn that it's not a big deal.
– Buy food in a drive through. You'll have to shout louder than you usually would, and hopefully you'll learn that it doesn't seem to bother the staff.
– Play the music in your car very loud with your windows down when in traffic. People will probably look at you, and you may feel embarrassed about sharing your music. But mouth the words to the music anyway. Make sure to look at passers by, otherwise you are avoiding. That anxiety will subside, and you'll see that people continue walking by.
– Take a Lift or an Uber and talk to the driver. Ask them about their day and see what happens. Odds are they will be happy to chat.
Taking the Bus
– Talk to the bus driver. You might find that contrary to your expectations they are happy to chat and that no-one on the bus really cares.
– Stand instead of sit, even though there are empty seats. People will probably ignore you and you'll learn that every move you make is not being scrutinized.
– Get off the back door of the bus, and yell "thank you" when leaving. Count how many people frown or stare at you and compare this to how many people don't seem to react.
– Smile at someone, or ask someone for directions (even if you know the way). You'll learn that more people are nice that not, and that it becomes easier to interact with strangers.
– Drop something (e.g. a bouncy ball) in front of people and then make sure to make eye contact with someone while collecting it. Again, you'll find it's not that big of a deal.
– Wear two different pairs of shoes, your shirt of backwards, or a really bright hat, or something that makes you stand out. As you walk past people count how many people stare at you, and how many people judge you. Likely most people won't even notice, and you'll also learn that you can tolerate their judgments if people are looking at you.
Hanging out with Friends
– Ask someone, a stranger, to take a photo of the group. I bet people will actually appreciate you doing this.
– Leave your phone in your bag. If you are using your phone you are not engaging with others and it is likely avoidance.
– Compliment someone on what they are wearing. You may fear you're saying something stupid, but I bet the person appreciates the comment.
– Bring some cookies when you meet up. People will love hanging out with you and you'll be more likely to learn that it's a positive experience.
– Plan another time to hang out. You may worry that others think badly of you and may not want to hang out. If people seem enthusiastic about hanging out this will contradict your fear.
Watching TV
– Ask a question or make a comment about what you are watching. It doesn't matter it's a terrible sports play, or how good looking a character is. You may fear you're burdening others or ruining their enjoyment, but you'll only learn the accuracy of this by testing it out to see how others react.
– Ask someone if they've seen a show you like. You may be afraid that the show you are sharing is "dumb", but to overcome social anxiety you have to get used to tolerating this feeling.
– Eat a meal that others may judge you for. For example, at a restaurant ask for a modification to your meal. "Can I have the pancakes, but do you have pineapples instead of blueberries?". You'll learn that a "no" is not so bad, or that you'll be surprised how much you can get just by asking.
– Change your order. Make it, and then one minute later decide that you want something else. You'll probably worry that they will be annoyed, so let's see what happens.
– At a coffee shop, ask for your order in a soft and mumbling voice. This will cause the person to ask you to repeat. You'll learn that it's not so bad, or they don't seem to mind. Or, ask in a louder voice than normal so others hear your order. You're learning what happens when you do this: Do others stare at you, laugh, or not seem to care?
– Pay in loose change. I like to order a drink and then pay in dimes. With a queue behind you, you'll feel pressure but usually you'll find that no-one seems to mind.
Getting Dressed
– Wear something that really stands out; make a fashion statement. Then walk outside and see how the world reacts. Post a photo online and see how your friends and family comment. Based on my own experiences, people often don't notice or they make positive comments.
– Ask a friend, or even a stranger on the street, if they like what you are wearing. "Excuse me. I'm going on a date and I'm not sure if I look good. Do you think what I'm wearing is ok?"
– When shopping for clothes ask an employee to recommend some clothes. Then try on several and be a picky customer. Let's try to violate the expectation that a person may be really annoyed, or that you can't tolerate it if they are annoyed.
– Don't put on makeup for an outing. Try to see how people react to you without it on.
– Speak up. In a meeting ask a question. Ask your teacher something in small groups or large groups. To go all the way, ask a question that you think is kind of dumb. For example, "What is the homework?" after a teacher has just said what the homework was. You may worry that others will laugh, think critically of you, or be annoyed. You may be right, or you may be surprised that they don't. You'll only find out if you try. And if you are right, keep your head up and make eye contact. You'll learn that you can tolerate it and that people don't judge your entire life based on one thing.
– Hand in work that's a little incomplete. Or ask for an extension. This targets fear of disappointing others or not being smart enough to keep up.
– Ask a coworker or someone in school if they want to hang out. Or join an activity/club that's already going on. You're fear is that people judge you, and this is a great opportunity to be around others more and learn that even if they do, they can still like you. I play some really nerdy games, but rather than think badly of me, people just know that it's something I like and there are other positive qualities to me too!
– Only kidding, you have to have some time off from exposures ?
Thanks again for reading, let me know if you have anything to add!

Not necessarily. Unless special circumstances apply, a for-profit corporation registered in any province in Canada may sell and ship its products to clients in different provinces, even different countries. If you plan to move your physical location of business (from which you sell goods) to a province other than the one you are currently registered in, you will then in most cases be required to register a distinct business, corporation, or extra-provincial registration with the applicable government.

Ed Sheeran's manager says touts are 'taking money from dying kids'
Ed Sheeran's manager has said he's decided to speak out against ticket touts after complaints that they were "taking money from dying kids' hands".
There was outrage last month after reports that £110 tickets for a charity concert were being resold for £5,000.
Sheeran's manager Stuart Camp and other industry figures have given evidence to a House of Commons select committee.
Earlier, he said people were "making extreme profits" and it was getting "out of our control".
He told BBC Breakfast: "It was the outpouring of anger about that particular incident which was really just seen as people taking money from dying kids' hands.
"That's a charity show, we put that show on to raise funds and people are just taking advantage, and it's something that needs to be controlled."
The show in question is a Teenage Cancer Trust concert starring Sheeran at the Royal Albert Hall on 28 March.
'Confusion and anger'
"We're looking for the enforcement of laws that already exist but we need to have greater transparency," he said.
Secondary websites - which allow people to offer tickets for resale, often at higher prices - must make it clear that fans aren't buying from the original source, he said.
"At the moment they can hide behind certain things and it's not great and that's why there's some confusion and anger."
Fans also may not know whether they are safely buying a genuine ticket or where their seats will be located, said Mr Camp.
He added: "But it's just too much money. It's people making extreme profits - it's just coming out of our control, which is not great."
The government has proposed a new law that will outlaw "bots" - software that buys large numbers of tickets as soon as they go on sale by getting around the limit for how many tickets a person is allowed to buy.
The Competition and Markets Authority has also launched an inquiry into whether sellers and websites are breaking the law by failing to provide the full range of information about the tickets they offer for sale.
Mr Camp was among those giving evidence to the House of Commons Culture, Media and Sport committee on Tuesday.

Today I'm quoting from Nathan Bransford's wonderful blog about a confession he made at a conference recently while he served on a middle-grade writers panel:
When I was ten I wrote to Roald Dahl and then he died the following weekend and, me being ten, I convinced myself it was my letter that killed him and I didn't write to another author again for years.
Poor Nathan felt guilt for something totally unrelated to his writing that letter, but I think that's not an uncommon phenomenon.
It made me think about other instances when kids think that because of some misconception they have more influence—good or bad—than they actually do. How long does that guilt or self-importance last? And is it necessarily bad to accidentally deceive oneself in this way? Such philosophical questions…
Have you thought that an action of yours caused something that turned out not to be related at all? How long after it happened did you discover the truth? Please share any experiences you've had.

Review: Motorola Moto X for Verizon Wireless
Form Performance Basics Moto Apps Extras Wrap-Up Comments 7
The Moto X is a fine effort from Motorola. It took last year's sub-flagship device and pushed it to full flagship status. Despite beefing up the specs to match the competition, I can't help but feel that Motorola lost a little bit of its soul along the way. The company set out to achieve specific usability goals with last year's model in a way that felt earnest and from the heart. This time around, Motorola simply wanted to update the features to be more competitive.
The Moto X is a full-sized phone that's made from good materials and is assembled firmly. It has a good feel in the hand, and the variety of materials available for customization mean you can make the Moto X of your dreams. The phone covers the basics well for the most part, but I was disappointed by the screen's lack of brightness. Otherwise, the performance on the network and call quality both perform well.
The unmolested version of Android is welcome to see, as are Moto Voice and Active Display. The latter two help enhance the usability of the device by making it respond to voice commands and highlight incoming notifications. The rest of the apps perform as they do on any other Android handset.
AD article continues below...
Perhaps the biggest two improvement come from the camera and the battery. The camera is much better, as is battery life. This were significant shortcomings on last year's phone. By resolving them, the Moto X is a much better competitor with today's leading devices.
Would I recommend the Moto X? Well, the Moto X is mostly for people who want to design their own phone. After that, it's hard to say. At $99, it is about $100 cheaper than most other flagships with a contract - and that feels right. It's not quite on the same level as the GS5, G3, or One (M8), in my opinion, but it's almost there.
Last year's Moto X was a major turnaround point for Motorola. Building on the critical acclaim of the first model, the company is back at it with the second generation Moto X.
Sep 5, 2014
Motorola today announced the 2nd-generation Moto X. The new Moto X sports a larger, 5.2-inch AMOLED full-HD screen, Snapdragon 801 processor, and 13-megapixel camera with 4K video capture.

Jane Austen: Pride and Prejudice
Chapter 28
Every object in the next day's journey was new and interesting to Elizabeth; and her spirits were in a state of enjoyment; for she had seen her sister looking so well as to banish all fear for her health, and the prospect of her northern tour was a constant source of delight.
When they left the high road for the lane to Hunsford, every eye was in search of the Parsonage, and every turning expected to bring it in view. The palings of Rosings Park was their boundary on one side. Elizabeth smiled at the recollection of all that she had heard of its inhabitants.
At length the Parsonage was discernible. The garden sloping to the road, the house standing in it, the green pales, and the laurel hedge, everything declared they were arriving. Mr. Collins and Charlotte appeared at the door, and the carriage stopped at the small gate which led by a short gravel walk to the house, amidst the nods and smiles of the whole party. In a moment they were all out of the chaise, rejoicing at the sight of each other. Mrs. Collins welcomed her friend with the liveliest pleasure, and Elizabeth was more and more satisfied with coming when she found herself so affectionately received. She saw instantly that her cousin's manners were not altered by his marriage; his formal civility was just what it had been, and he detained her some minutes at the gate to hear and satisfy his inquiries after all her family. They were then, with no other delay than his pointing out the neatness of the entrance, taken into the house; and as soon as they were in the parlour, he welcomed them a second time, with ostentatious formality to his humble abode, and punctually repeated all his wife's offers of refreshment.

« «·"«»fi…" «»⁄… »
In Archaic Art. the Egyptian unicorn, even in the early time of the twelfth dynasty, was the rhinoceros.'' Yet at the same time we find a Unicorn-antelope depicted, they animal couchant, the horn long and straight, and the tail standing straight up in an unnatural manner, in exactly the same way as the tail of the Kamic Gryphon is represented, an additional circumstance in illustration of the fact that the representation is symbolical. The sound of the Unicorn-ideograph is given as · St., Typhon, and that of the Gryphon as • Baru, Baal; Set, Typhon. Now Set ou Soutekh personnifie l'ardeur et la force redoutable du soleil' Gryphon ; but as the 'meurtrier d'Osiris, il est le dieu du mal et personnifie les ténèbres,'4 and may thus be connected with the nocturnal unicorn. Sir G. Wilkinson observes, "Many animals are introduced in the sculptures, . . . some of which are purely the offspring of disordered imagination; and the winged quadrupeds, sphinxes, or lions, with the head of a hawk or of a snake, and some others equally fanciful and unnatural, can only be compared to the creations of heraldry.'5 A disordered imagination should be the last thing appealed to in explanation of such creations; in the abstract the same explanation might be given of the forms of the gods; and it is much more probable to suppose that some reason, symbolical or otherwise, underlies the efforts of the artist. 1 Vide Rawlinson, Herod. ii. 225. Bunsen, Egypt's Place, i. 626.
3 Ibid. 568. 4 Pierret, Essai sur la Mythologie Égyptienne, 79. 5 Ancient Egyptians, edit. 1878, vol. ii. p. 93.
XXIX. The discoveries of Schliemann at Mykênê have revealed, as might be expected, several instances of the Unicorn, although the author does not notice any of them in this aspect. Thus on a gem ? is shown the familiar Unicorn-cow or Ox, in duplicate, as usual regardant, and each with a calf; but, as has sometimes been remarked on similar representations, no udder is shown. The design is evidently symbolical, though it is by no means improbable that by the time it got as far west as Mykênê the original meaning was forgotten or unknown. But we have already met on Assyrian ground with the peculiar type of two Unicorns standing opposite each other with reverted heads, and the circumstance is a link between the art of Mykênê and that of the nonAryan East. We must, in accordance with previous interpretation, regard the two calves as representing the new moon and the full moon, which draw their strength from the decreasing and increasing crescent moon, the animal being represented as male in accordance with the sex of the Moon-god.
XXX. Another remarkable gold ornament is described by Schliemann as two stags lying down, with long three-branched horns, leaning with the necks against each other, and turning the head in opposite directions (like the Assyrian Unicorn-goats in No. III.), but so that the horns of both touch each other, and seem intended to form a sort of crown.'4. Here again
the peculiar design shows a unity of origin, although very likely the maker of the Mykenean example had no thought of lunar symbolism. The "stags' are small spotted fallow-deer, and each has but one horn, in which are three tines ; in fact, the treatment of the horn is precisely similar to that of the same animal in Assyrian representations. The eye, too, is very prominent.?
XXXI. Another example given by Schliemann 3 shows two spotted, couchant, bull-like, prominenteyed Unicorns, the horn in each case being treated exactly as in the last example, their necks touching, but the head of each reverted in the usual special manner.'
XXXII. The next example from Schliemann 4 shows a queer-looking animal with the head of an ass, and bear's paws, and one long horn with several tines. It is described as "a Stag, of an alloy of silver and lead.'
XXXIII. Lion and Unicorn fighting (?).5
The above instances by no means exhaust the appearances of the Unicorn in archaic art, and at the same time show that the idea of such a creature was familiar in Babylonia, Assyria, Egypt, Asia Minor and Greece. Many points in the representations will become more suggestive in the course of the enquiry; meanwhile it may be noticed as a general result that ;

2 Vide No. XIII. 3 M. & T. fig. 264, p. 175.
4 Ibid. fig. 376, p. 257. 5 Ibid. fig. 470, p. 309; ride sec. XII., subsec. 2.
I. The Monster-unicorn is not lunar.
III. The Unicorn-antelope, except perhaps in Egypt, and the Unicorn-goat, are distinctly and essentially lunar.
IV. The Unicorn is very frequently represented as attacking or attacked by the Lion.
Inman remarks that the Bull (whose frequent unicornic character he does not observe), and the Lion amongst the Assyrians, occupied much the same place as the lion and the unicorn do in modern heraldry.'1
Ancient Faiths, i. 376.
The moon-power, owing to the influence of the Greek Artemis-Selênê, the Latin Diana-Luna, is generally feminine in our thoughts; but this aspect, though also occasionally occurring elsewhere, e.g., in Peru, is really exceptional. Thus among the Germanic nations the moon is masculine and the sun feminine. It is the daughter of Sôl, the Norse Sun-goddess, who in the regenerated world shall ride on her mother's
track when the gods are dead'; 1 and it is the god · Mâni," who at Ragnarok, "the-Twilight-of-the-gods,' shall be devoured by the Wolf of darkness, Managarmr, Moon-swallower,' a reduplication of the terrible wolf Fenrir.3
In Egypt again, Chons is the personification of the moon, and in this character he is called Chonsaah or Chons the moon. His name seems to mean
i Vide R. B. Jr., R. M. A. sec. xvii.
» Proto-Aryan root ma, to measure, whence Sk. más, Zend mão, Lith. menu, Gk. mêné, in Ulfilas mêna, Anglo-Sax. mõna, Swedish mane, Eng. moon. These words, except perhaps mão, are all masculine. From the same root come the Sk. mäsa, Goth, menoth, Anglo-Sax. monádh, Gk. mên, Lat. mensis, Eng. month. The Moon is the Month-mensurer.

T.O.P Wants to Keep Acting as Long as People Want Him To
On September 1, BIGBANG's T.O.P, who also goes by Choi Seung Hyun, revealed his plans for his acting career in an interview with OSEN.
He said, "If there are people who want me to act, I would like to continue doing so. I want to keep going if I can do it well. But, honestly, I don't think acting is a job that I do while expecting to succeed. I only act as an advocate for the character that I am portraying." He continued, "It's the same for a singer but an actor is always the latter of two parties, the audience being the former. I want to continue acting until I am sure that the audience wants me. But I don't want to continue unless I get that confidence. I think that is one of the reasons why I haven't done that many projects yet."
Meanwhile, T.O.P is the lead character for Tazza 2, which is set to be released this coming September 3.
