Please confirm that you want to add Stress management for the modern world. to your Wishlist.
Learn what stress is and understanding what happens in our bodies
when we are stressed.
During the course you will evaluate the most effective ways for you to manage your stress levels.
Just because life has it's pressures doesn't mean that it has to be stressful.
Pressure and stress are different. Pressure is what happens around us, stress is our reaction to those pressures.
Some people are able to
cope with huge amounts of pressure and not be affected by it. It's
not magic or something that is only available to a few. This course
will help you to learn the skills that you need to thrive under
Content and overview
The 'why':
The 'how':
This course is designed to engage you in the way that you learn best. As well as video lectures it contains written descriptions of the techniques and 6 audio downloads (45 minutes) to help you to reinforce what you learn and to practice relaxation.
To conclude we will
talk about how to cope and thrive in the 21st century and how to
continue to build on what you have learned.
The course is
deliberately short. I have found that people don't need a lot of new
things to think about. After you have learned a few simple techniques
that are right for you and
begun to use them regularly you will quickly notice yourself relaxing
easier and reaming calm under pressure. It's through this
regular use that you will gain the most benefit.
This video will prompt you to begin to think about what you want from this course as well as giving you some ideas of what you can expect from it.
When taking any kind of course, and especially this one, the more that you interact then the more you will get from it. Passively watching video lectures is good, but thinking about how they are relevant in your life is so much better.
This lecture asks some questions to focus your mind on what you would like to gain as a result of taking this course. Take time to write down your answers which will put you in the correct mindset and you will really benefit from the material.
You will begin to explore what causes you stress and what your natural coping mechanisms are.
Stress is a very personal thing, it affects us all differently and the more that you understand what causes you stress then the better you can find your unique coping strategies.
This lecture prompts you with some further questions to explore your relationship with stress. Once again, the more that you interact and the more that you take the time to write down your answers then the more that you will gain from the course.
This lecture is an introduction to the importance of monitoring your own stress levels. It would be no use to have the best coping strategies in the world to cope with stress without the awareness of when stress is building. After watching this and the following 3 lectures you will be able to recognize the early onset of stress and tension and when you need to take action.
This video introduces you to the Holmes and Rahe scale, a scientifically proven study of how life and stress are linked.
In the previous video about the Holmes and Rahe scale you learned about major life events and stress. In this lecture you we look at a way that you can test how you are affected by day to day events.
In this lecture you will learn what the SUD's scale is. You will then learn how SUD's evolved into the SUE scale and how you can apply it quickly and anywhere to help you to get the most out of life.
The SUE scale is one of the best tools that you have to understand your physical and mental state both quickly and in the present.
Following on from the previous lecture about the SUE scale following these simple guidelines will help you to get the most from it and will begin to build a habit. The habit of checking in with yourself and noticing how you are feeling is often overlooked yet one of the most powerful tools in the armoury of any successful person.
These questions will help you to know which parts of this section you've remembered the best as well as pointing out any areas that it would be useful to go over again.
The great thing about understanding what happens inside when we become stressed is that suddenly many things begin to make sense. When we realize that many physical symptoms we experience are simply down to our stress levels being too high it can be a tremendous relief. Many times it's also the first stage in learning to manage our own stress.
These questions will help you to know which parts of this section you've remembered the best as well as pointing out any areas that it would be useful to go over again.
In this short video you will learn the answers to these questions along with the final preparation before moving onto some of the most important stress management in the remaining lectures.
7-11 breathing is an amazing way to quickly calm you in difficult situations. It's also a great way to help lower your long term stress levels. Best of all, it's very fast.
In this lecture you will learn what 7-11 breathing is, why it works and ways that you can apply it easily for fast and long lasting results.
In this lecture you will learn the skill of balanced breathing. You will also learn when it's most appropriate to use 7-11 or balanced breathing.
Most people are familiar with the concept of having a racing mind. Too many thoughts going around your mind which can make it difficult to concentrate on 1 thing. Often a racing mind is a key problem identified by people who have difficulty sleeping.
In this lecture you will learn some techniques which will help you to control your thoughts. Once you have begun to practice these you will be able to switch off easily and quickly. This will give you that clear headed feeling which helps you to concentrate better and become more productive.
Many people have forgotten what it means to relax.
In this lecture I'll show you how to relax deeply in only 2 minutes using a technique that you can adapt for use anywhere. This has the effect of recharging your batteries giving you more energy and leaving you feeling rejuvenated.
What we have looked at so far are techniques to reduce your stress levels.
In this lecture we will begin to take a more holistic view. Some people associate the work holistic to mean fluffy whereas what it actually means is 'whole.'
It's a fact that the more happy and content people are with their lives the more resilient they are to stress. The wheel of life is a tool that you will use to examine different areas of your life and to better understand how and when you are most content.
In this lecture we will continue looking at small things which may be adding to stress and what contributes to a balanced and healthy life.
You will also learn another quick de-stressing technique which will help you to release tension and ease aching muscles.
In this video we will discuss putting it all together and where you go from here.
In this final review of the course you will be prompted with more questions to enable you to understand what you have gained from it. You may have found what you were looking for or you may have found something else which was useful instead.
Learning to live a more calm and less stressed life is not a destination that you will have now reached, it's a journey and this course is just the beginning of that journey.
Remember to revisit it more than once. The material won't have changed but you will have and you will see things in the 2nd and 3rd watching that you may have missed before, or things that didn't make sense before will do now. That's not just true of this course but of life in general.
These questions will help you to know which parts of this section you've remembered the best as well as pointing out any areas that it would be useful to go over again.
I work primarily as a therapist/coach in the areas of stress and anxiety and related conditions. I work both 1-2-1 and in groups and run courses inside and outside of the workplace.
In a previous career as technical director of an online retailer I worked too many hours, took too few breaks and did nothing to manage stress. As a result I made myself ill and and eventually wound up in hospital.
Soon after that I retrained as a therapist and left the world of IT with the intention of helping others who have been affected in the same way that I have.
I have a unique perspective on stress. When people talk to me about panic attacks, feeling overwhelmed and any of the other common symptoms of stress I know what they are talking about, not because I've read it in a book, but because I've been though it.
I am approved therapist for Anxiety UK.
I regularly work with Mind (mental health charity) helping people with extreme anxiety and panic attacks.
I hold the following qualifications:
Diploma in advanced stress management
Fully qualified hypnotherapist
NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) practitioner
EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) practitioner
I am a member of and regulated by the General Hypnotherapy Register and the CNHC.

In the spirit of the holiday season we hosted an intimate gathering at our LA store, The EDIT by FREDA SALVADOR + Janessa Leone. To celebrate the merging of our two brands we invited visual artist, Maggie Carson Romano, to transform our shared space. Ramono brought our hats, handbags and footwear to life by pulling single elements from context to express both their strength and vulnerability. The evening began with cocktails and a walk through of Ramono's visual installation and then dinner was served al fresco compliments of our PLATFORM neighbor, The Cannibal.
You can view the Maggie Carson Ramono's installation and shop both FREDA SALVADOR + Janessa Lenoe's RESORT 17 Collections at our shared space at Platform today through December 31, 2016.
The inspiration behind the visual installation:
"In this piece, seven panels of silk, satin and wool form a shifting canvas, floating within the space. The canvas shifts in a balance between light and weight, anchored by the products it shrouds below. The panels are positioned to partially obscure the space, and in turn, reveal the elegance and simplicity of the product designs. When visually removed from the context of the store, the products are singled out and given new roles as sculptures, their lines and contours offered forward for aesthetic study and appreciation." – Maggie Carson Ramon, Visual Artist
A big thank you the friends who attended and helped pull this event together!

Sport-Concert Complex
Request a Tour
Address: Tsitsernakaberd Park, Yerevan
Working days: Monday-Friday
Working hours: 09:00-18:00
The SCC was put in commission in 1983. Later it was named after Karen Demirchyan. The projecting of the building was made by the Armstateproject and by the USSR National architect Korjun Akoyan, the ASSR National architect Arthur Tarhanyan, the ASSR Honoured architects Hrachya Pogosyan, Spartak Khachikyan, Gurgen Musheghyan, engineers Igor Tsaturyan, Grigor Azizyan, Mikael Aharonyan, sculptor Ferdinant Arakelyan in particular. In 1987 this group has been awarded the higher prize of the country- the State award of USSR for the original architecture and planning solutions. Famous artists such as Michel Legrand, Demis Rusos, the ''La Scala'' theatre symphonic orchestra, Thomas Andres, Bonnie M and Jean Gillan have performed on the stage of SCC. Here were held the international Olympic Chess Games, the European championship of ushu, he Armenian basketball games, the internatonal sports struggle, oxing, weightlifting, art gymnastics and acrobatics tournaments and championships.
You will certainly feel the enjoyable and pleasant atmosphere of the Complex from the very first step in the building. Once entering the foyer you will be surrounded with delightful sense of beauty and serenity. With its surface of 1300 m2 this hall is a perfect place for any kind of exhibitions, presentations, corporative parties and other activities.
Тhe concert hall has 3785 m2 surface and can seat audience of 7000. Due to its technical capacity the Big Hall gives incredible opportunity of organizing different kinds of shows, concerts and international sport activities. The hall has a turning tribune that can provide additional 1008 seats in a couple of minutes.
Here also located ''Ice Queen'' – the ice arena of the Complex, with 1800 m2 surface. It is open all year round for hundreds of proffesionals and amaterus of hockey and figure skating. We are planning ti organize here hillarious ice shows having no analogues in Armenia due to their original conception and the star membership. The presence of such a skating rink will contribute to the development of figure skating and hockey in Armenia. In 2008 Armenians gained not only renovated Sports and Concerts Complex, but also school of figure skating named after Evgeni Plushenko. Let's hope that in a couple of years the pupils of the school of figure skating will keep the high honor of our country. Moreover, the exceptional design and construction of this arena makes possible the organization of volleyball and mini – football games.
The small concert hall can seat audience of 2000, and has surface of 1275 m2. It is an ideal place for small concerts, corporative parties and for various other performances. The latest audio and light systems of the hall give the artists an opportunity to perform on the highest level.
There is no need to think of place where to organize the ice scale international summits, seminars, scientific meetings, conferances and presentations. From now on the conference hall Hayastan supplied with necessary modern equiipment of European industrial companes, can provide all of these services. It is distinguished by a unique taste. Specific lighting of the hall – quiet, gentle – creates a warm atmosphere.
Argishti hall is situated rght next to the Conference hall and has everything for the organization of banquets, as well as for the comfortable rest of the participants.

text: The desert modernist In 1930, when Albert Frey (1903-1998) came to the US from his native Switzerland, he brought the influence of his mentor, Le Corbusier, with him. The innovative Aluminaire House that he developed together with A. L. Kocher was exhibited in 1932 by Henry-Russell Hitchcock and Philip Johnson in the legendary show in the Museum of Modern Art in New York "The International Style: Architecture since 1922" as one of the very few American examples of the movement. Soon after, Frey discovered the California desert, where he would settle and complete his most substantial works. Throughout his life, Frey was interested in finding new ways of building, as well as working with and doing research on prefabricated materials, the results of which he regularly published. With visionary talent, Frey built elegant, clearly structured residential houses and was the founder of the "desert modernism" style. The author: Gloria Koenig is an architectural historian and author. She has published and lectured widely on a variety of topics in contemporary architecture, and served as consultant with filmmakers on a documentary about her late husband, modernist architect Pierre Koenig.

SALEM, Ore. -- Sixty feet requires perfection. At least, that's what the two climbers who advanced today in the speed climb semifinals at the 2010 STIHL TIMBERSPORTS Series National Championship think as they look ahead to what looks like a dead-heat final in the 25th anniversary of the world's biggest lumberjack event.
Click Here
Brian Bartow from Lake Oswego, Ore., defeated Guy German, and Stirling Hart from Mission, British Columbia overcame an early slip to defeat Cassidy Scheer to advance to a head-to-head, winner-take-all final on the 60-foot trees at the Oregon State Fair in Salem, Ore.
"Everything has to go perfectly for you to win on a 60-foot tree," said Hart, whose left foot slipped shortly after the start in his semifinal, forcing him to make up time on the fast-starting Scheer. "It's a sprint. This is the shortest tree we'll race on, so it's our 100-meter dash."
Scheer got off to a quick lead on the climb against Hart, whose left foot slipped low on the tree, forcing him to push to make up as much time as possible on the ascent, and then to go all out on the descent. Hart finished in 11.94, his fastest climb of the week, to Scheer's 12.23.
"Going up, I had to compensate for the slip and push extra hard for the bell, and then lay it all out coming down the tree," Hart said.
"I did the minimum amount of hits coming down and hit the pad just barely before him. The West Coast guys pride ourselves on really fast, controlled descents where, if we mess up, we can come down really fast and under control. My experience coming down the tree was the reason I was able to beat him."
Hart won't have that advantage against Bartow, who has the fastest time of the week with an 11.66 in a qualifying climb, and has consistently been one of the cleanest climbers in the competition.
Bartow was error-free against German, finishing in 12.23 to German's 13.25
"I'm just trying to stay nice and smooth, and I knew that if I had a clean climb, my chances were pretty good," Bartow said.
"The finals, it'll be all out. It'll take a really good climb to win. You want to get a quick start, hit each step quick, hit the top stretched out and fly past the orange lines on the way down. It's only a 60-foot race, so it's a total speed race. It's anybody's game."
Gear tweaks ahead for Hart
Hart has had repeated problems slipping low on the tree throughout the competition, but believes that he's found a minor, fixable issue with his gaffs.
"The way our gaffs are filed, they have a ledge in a specific place, so when you're pushing off, you have the maximum amount of surface area on the tree," Hart said.
"The gaff was angled a little bit too much and was causing it to slice out of the tree. I'm going to switch to a different gaff, angle it a little different, because I won't be able to slip and beat Brian tomorrow."
Bartow and Hart will compete Sunday for the speed climb title at the 2010 STIHL TIMBERSPORTS Series National Championship.

By PHILIP S. GUTIS, Special to the New York Times
Published: August 17, 1987
AURORA, N.C., Aug. 14— Enormous tides of algae, widespread low-oxygen conditions and mysterious fish kills this summer are leading scientists to caution that the East Coast's highly productive system of bays and estuaries is faltering.
Some say that unusually hot weather explains the recent intense problems in the estuaries - the coastal bays, inlets and rivers where nourishing fresh water mixes with shallow salt water to provide a rich environment for marine life and to support most of the nation's commercial catch.
But most scientists and public officials interviewed recently attributed the growing difficulties to longstanding factors: industrial discharges, sewage, fertilizer runoff and other pollutants, resulting largely from the ever-increasing coastal population. Worst Scientists Can Recall
''The cause is probably a coinciding of environmental conditions and the stress that has been building up over the years,'' said Virginia K. Tippie, the director of estuarine programs for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Officials say the situation this summer is the worst they can recall, and the unexplained deaths of 200 dolphins, washed ashore from New Jersey to Virginia, has captured public attention. But the coastal problem is far from new. Pollution and fish kills in the Great Lakes, Chesapeake Bay and other estuary systems have troubled scientists for years.
Now, however, the disturbing symptoms have begun to afflict less populous areas, like the Albemarle and Pamlico Sounds here in North Carolina, raising fears nationally that the problems long seen in the Northeast have spread throughout the country.
Interest in the estuaries is heightened because of their importance to the millions of people who live near them or depend on them for recreation or fishing. Nationwide, the Federal Government estimates, more than 70 percent of all the fish caught in the United States are at some point dependent on the estuaries for either habitat or food.
Scientists stressed that the conditions in the estuaries, while they may be unpleasant, are not believed dangerous for people who swim in them or who eat the fish caught there.
But for the fish, and the marine ecosystem, the conditions are grave.
Here on the Pamlico River, a major contributor in the country's third-largest estuary system, fishermen and officials cite a number of events suggesting severe environmental distress.
Larger and larger portions of the Albemarle-Pamlico system are afflicted by low levels of dissolved oxygen in the water, suffocating hundreds of thousands of fish, crabs and eels. Catches of commercially valuable seafood, including the brown shrimp, crabs and striped bass, have decreased dramatically in recent years. Nothing Worth Fishing For
Underwater sea grasses, important spawning and rearing areas for many species, have all but disappeared since 1975. Thousands of crabs and other species have been found infected with bacteria that cause ulcerative mycosis, a disease that lets bacteria eat away at the animals, causing huge sores.
''The river has died to the point where there just ain't anything up here worth fishing for,'' said Dallas Ormond, a 48-year-old fisherman who has worked the Pamlico 14 years.
''I've seen things happening to the river that I've never seen happening before,'' Mr. Ormond complained as he and Perry Squires pulled in the day's catch from a net stretched partly across the Pamlico. ''The water won't hold no oxygen. Mother Nature has took as much as she can and now the river is going downhill right fast.'' Signs All Along the Coast
Scientists agree. ''Clearly the tolerances in the system are being exceeded,'' said Douglas N. Rader, the project director of the Albemarle-Pamlico Estuarine Study, a five-year program to coordinate research to examine the system and write a management plan.
Danger signals have been seen up and down the East Coast.
In the western portion of Long Island Sound, scientists have reported widespread fish kills and anoxic conditions, meaning that much of the water has absolutely no oxygen. The waters of the East End of the Island are discolored by the brown tide, an algal bloom that has returned for the third summer.
In Chesapeake Bay thousands of fish, crabs and oysters have died, and scientists recently reported the highest levels of sulfide ever recorded in the bay.
In the Gulf of Mexico, scientists studying the coastal waters have found 3,000 square miles of low-oxygen water with a complete lack of fish, shrimp and crabs. Increased Nutrients the Key
Human activity can cause damage to estuaries in a number of ways: toxic pollutants from industry, agriculture and construction that lead to excess silting, changes in estuarine salinity through overuse of fresh-water supplies, discharges of hot water that change the thermal environment.
Primarily, though, scientists believe that the problems are related to the increased inflow of nutrients, mainly phosphate and nitrogen from sewage and agricultural runoff.
It is those nutrient salts, constantly brought from inland by rivers and streams, that have long made the estuary systems so productive, along with organic debris from plant growth along the shore. But too much can be deadly.

|Re: Merging Solr Indexes
|Wed, 01 Apr 2009 08:26:04 GMT
Thanks Otis. Could you write to same core (same index) from multiple threads at the same time? I thought each writer would lock the index so other can not write at the same time. I'll try it though. Another reason of putting indexes in separate core was to limit the index size. Our index can grow up to 50G a day, so I was hoping writing to smaller indexes would be faster in separate cores and if needed I can merge them at later point (like end of day). I want to keep daily cores. Isn't this a good idea? How else can I limit the index size (beside multiple instances or separate boxes).

Why "La La Land" is an Instant Classic
My least favorite genre in cinema as a whole are musicals. Very few can exude the right amout of charm, wit and emotion that is both catchy and engrossing. A few exceptions that come to mind are Disney's The Lion King, Greece and most recently, The Muppets. Another thing I hate about modern cinema is the internet driven "hype train" that comes around several times every Oscar season. With accusations such as "this is the best film of the year" from a resounding number of credible industry experts is a scary thing to face. Your expectations are through the roof, you are ready for something incredible, but hoping it isn't a situation like Boyhood, in which you just feel cheated out of the whole experience. Well, color me wrong, because Damien Chazelle's La La Land is that anomaly of "living up to the hype."
From the opening tracking number to the films unbelievably gut-punch ending, La La Land had me smiling ear to ear throughout its runtime. La La Land is an homage to the golden age of cinema, taking place in present day with new LA Dreamers front and center. We follow jazz artist, Sebastian (Ryan Gosling), as he struggles with side gigs, ranging from playing Christmas music at a local restaurant, to being the keyboardist in an awful cover band. Sebastian keeps running into an aspiring actress, Mia (Emma Stone), who is a barista in the Warner Brothers Studios lot.
Mia is denied countless times as her auditioning for various roles becomes tiring on her emotionally. After a few coincidental occurrences coming into contact with Sebastian, the two eventually form a relationship together. Two people from different parts of the country are both passionate about what they want to achieve in life. But does their passion take a front seat to the incredible chemistry and love they have for one another?
La La Land is the cliché definition of "magic at the movies." This is a modern day fairy tale in every sense of the word. When you see the opening tracking shot, beautifully choreographed and shot with immense talent, you are immersed in this world Damien Chazelle set for the audience. The opening number is big, extravagant and even has a bit of tongue and cheek humor as it takes place in gridlock LA traffic. It's without question the most "musical" moment of La La Land.
I say this because when you hear the word "musical", you automatically expect everything to be a, for lack of a better term, a big song, and dance. This isn't one of those musicals in which a character will have 3 or 4 lines of dialogue followed up by music number after music number. That is not the case with Chazelle's love letter to dreamers. The blend of singing, dancing, and traditional storytelling is expertly blended seamlessly. When the musical numbers do happen, they come off as more of a pleasant surprise than "oh god ANOTHER song?" Speaking of, the music is just beautiful, from the high energy of "Another Day of Sun," to the romantic "A Lovely Night," to the final number of the film which will leave you breathless.
The chemistry between Gosling and Stone is magnetic. The two instantly have a great report with one another, even if they don't always see eye to eye. The first real scene the two share together is at a house party in Hollywood. Mia is attempting to mingle with anyone formidable she can make contact with, while Sebastian is playing the keys in a cheesy 80s cover act. In probably one of the funniest scenes in the film, Mia requests the band to play "I Ran," and the look on Gosling's face to this request is nothing short of hysterical.
From there the pairs relationship blossoms in a fairy tale like fashion. They dance over a majestic view of LA, move in together and share each other's passion with one another. The story is told through seasons with Winter being the first. I love that it used this element to show how long Mia and Sebastian have been together, it's both smart and simple.
Stone and Gosling are a modern day Bogart and Bacall, equipped with all the same charm and charisma that made such classics such as Casablanca, iconic in the first place. Having a romance that is "old school" set in a modern-day Hollywood is so genuinely well realized. Never once did I feel like this is a gimmick or that it was "Oscar bait."
The characters aren't the most developed in the world, but the thing is, they don't need to be. You know everything you need to know for both Sebastian and Mia to be emotionally invested and rooting for their relationship to work. You want them to be together from the moment they meet, and that is a credit to both the actors and screenplay involved.
So, why is La La Land an instant classic? I don't use that term lightly, as I usually roll my eyes at this time of year when Oscar campaigns promote their films as a "timeless classic." So what makes this movie so different? Well, to put it simply, it's the feeling you get while watching it.
The optimistic tone that kicks off La La Land, to the film title that follows it is pure movie magic. What is movie magic? I'm not talking about CGI special effects or how Disney can build a replica of "The Millennium Falcon." I'm talking about the magic that makes you feel like your heart is welling up with emotion, having your eyes glued to the screen and feeling that "warm and fuzzy" feeling all over your body.
This isn't a highly talked about blockbuster epic such as Titanic (which is considered a classic), this is a pure, honest film that has the perfect balance of lightheartedness and real life consequences. Those who will relate to La La Land the most are the dreamers of the world. You know who you are. The ones who will stop at nothing to live out their passion, who sacrifice so much to live out their dream. Not everyone makes these dreams a reality, and when they do, is the happiness you have worth all of the sacrifices you had to make to get there?
Questions like this are In fact, timeless. The tap-dancing, songs and undeniable charm are just a few of the many traits that make La La Land both a modern-day masterpiece and an instant classic.
La La Land opens nationwide on December 25th, 2016

Design isn't just about grand gesture, it can also be about the little things that we touch and use everyday. These things can help us and give pleasure too.
Having spent the last few years knuckling down to build our design portfolio, this year is set to be no different, but we are determined to look after ourselves better. Cue bold new glasses brand, Kite stage left. They got in touch with us to try out their bespoke designer glasses.
As you can imagine, we spend lots of time in front of the computer and our eyes are our money makers so we thought why not give them an MOT with the added bonus of a beautiful new pair of accessories - should we need them.
Thinking about it, had we not been prompted, we probably wouldn't have gone for an eye test and hadn't been for one in the last ten years. Oops. You?
Founded in 2014, with an ambition to wipe the slate clean on eye health with a selection of fresh glasses that they describe as 'playful works of engineering'. Kite is all about redefining how we look after our eyes and the way we look as we do it. With all their designs priced at £150 there is a focus on good design for all and every style is catered to, with a vast amount of options in finest acetate or aluminium. Handcrafted in Italy, with German lenses of the highest quality and endless customisable options. You really can have a lot of fun trying them all out.
Our 'eye guru', Nathan was a particular treat. So helpful and relaxed, it felt as if he truly cared and loved what he did. A rarity it seems in so many showrooms nowadays. In truth, we were both a little nervous of the tests, since it had been so long, but Nathan put us at ease and made the whole experience a great laugh.
We ended up opting for 'his and his' Dean (the name of the shape) in Blue Havana and Matt Camo. And we love them. They are a pleasure to wear. We feel set up to face the year ahead.
You've got to love a young start-up business with such an inquisitive nature and open, approachable manner. They are pushing boundaries but never boastful or aloof. They want to bring good science, eye health and design together.
Sometimes good design is about delivering something that you didn't even know you needed and doing it in style – Kite do this effortlessly.

Today's strange but true security news includes security companies warning customers to stop using their security products and cops handing out flyers about iOS security upgrades.
RSA, known for security, is warning its customer to stop using the default random-number generator in the RSA's BSafe cryptographic toolkit and Data Protection Manager. The company sent an email advisory, warning, "To ensure a high level of assurance in their application, RSA strongly recommends that customers discontinue use of Dual EC DRBG and move to a different PRNG." On their blog, they suggest users "choose one of the different cryptographic Pseudo-Random Number Generators (PRNG) built into the RSA BSAFE toolkit."
All versions of RSA Data Protection Manager server and clients are affected as well as all versions of RSA BSafe Toolkits (Crypto-C ME, Micro Edition Suite, Crypto-J, Cert-J, SSL-J, Crypto-C, Cert-C, SSL-C). That's because those products contain Dual_EC_DRBG (Dual Elliptic Curve Deterministic Random Bit Generation), a handy dandy backdoor for the NSA.
With all the surveillance revelations about the NSA, including secret backdoors in all sorts of products – supposedly even Linux – some people are more suspicious than ever. So when cops started handing out mobile phone security flyers, asking Apple users to upgrade to iOS 7, it was met with mixed reviews.
New York cops have been handing out flyers asking Apple users to update to iOS 7. It's part of a NYPD public awareness and crime prevention campaign, since thieves apparently love to steal iDevices. iOS 7 has Activation Lock that is supposed to make it harder to turn off "Find My iPhone" by requiring the user's Apple ID and password. New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman and San Francisco's District Attorney George Gascón issued a joint statement praising Activation Lock and encouraging iDevice users to download iOS 7. As of publishing time, over 57% of Apple devices are running iOS 7.
Although there is a lockscreen vulnerability in iOS 7, Apple "takes security very seriously" and plans to deploy software to fix the flaw sometime in the future. That OS vulnerability should not be confused with the Chaos Computer Club's (CCC) biometric hack that bypasses Apple's Touch ID.
When announcing Touch ID, Apple stated, "Your fingerprint is one of the best passcodes in the world. It's always with you, and no two are exactly alike." Conversely, CCC announced, "A fingerprint of the phone user, photographed from a glass surface, was enough to create a fake finger that could unlock an iPhone 5s secured with TouchID. This demonstrates – again – that fingerprint biometrics is unsuitable as access control method and should be avoided."
Frank Rieger, spokesperson of the CCC, added:
We hope that this finally puts to rest the illusions people have about fingerprint biometrics. It is plain stupid to use something that you can't change and that you leave everywhere every day as a security token. The public should no longer be fooled by the biometrics industry with false security claims. Biometrics is fundamentally a technology designed for oppression and control, not for securing everyday device access.
Is Touch ID hacked yet (istouchidhackedyet) has not yet "declared an official winner, with complete video proof," but states, "The Chaos Computer Club in Germany may have done it! Awaiting video showing them lifting a print (like from a beer mug) and using it to unlock the phone." The winner gets a wide assortment of prizes, ranging from cash, bitcoins, wine, whiskey and "a dirty sex book."
Meanwhile, although VMware made vSphere 5.5 available for download, the company then warned customers not to install it. It was considered critical as installing vSphere Replication 5.5 before vCenter 5.5 was released could "actually break your replication and is irreversible. It will require you to re-install VR 5.1 and redo your replications from scratch." VR 5.1 customers were advised to turn off auto-updates. Since that warning last week, VMware released vCenter 5.5., but warned customers to make sure and upgrade vCenter first before upgrading to vSphere Replication 5.5.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Florida offensive coordinator Ed
Zaunbrecher was demoted to quarterbacks coach Thursday after
consecutive 8-5 seasons and constant criticism for an offense that
hasn't been as productive since Steve Spurrier left for the NFL.
Gators coach Ron Zook promoted assistant coach Larry Fedora to
offensive coordinator.
"I think this move on our coaching staff will allow us to take
advantage of all of our strengths," Zook said. "Coach Fedora has
a great offensive mind, and Coach Zaunbrecher has a proven track
record with successfully grooming quarterbacks."
Fedora was Florida's running backs coach in 2002 and then the
perimeter game coordinator and receivers coach last year.
Fedora spent three years as offensive coordinator at Middle
Tennessee State before joining the Gators in 2002. Under Fedora,
the Blue Raiders averaged 31 points and 424 yards per game.
Zaunbrecher has received the bulk of Florida fans' ire in two
seasons, with many of them calling for him to be fired.
Florida rarely went deep and relied on bubble screens and
dump-off passes for much of its air attack, leading to questions of
whether Fedora, Zaunbrecher or Zook was really calling the shots.
"I've always done what the head coach has asked me to do and
will continue to do so," Zaunbrecher said.

No Good Reed Goes Unnoticed.
By Donine Henshaw Dominice
IT BEGAN AT 34 Via Dell' Anconella in Florence, Italy, in 1890. Giuseppe Prestini couldn't find what he was looking for, and decided he would have to make what he needed himself. The result of his search was a legacy that spanned three generations and two continents. Today, Prestini Musical Instrument Corp. is Arizona's 16th-largest exporter, with international headquarters in Nogales, Arizona.
The company makes reeds and key pads for woodwind musical instruments, and also produces saxophones, with annual sales of more than $1 million. Thirty-three percent of the company's sales are in exports.
Giuseppe Prestini was a renowned musician and professor of oboe, a double-reed woodwind instrument with a high, penetrating tone; he achieved his renown at the Florence and Venice conservatories in Italy in the 19th and 20th centuries. On many occasions, Arturo Toscanini, one of the most influential conductors of his time, chose Prestini as oboe soloist for concert tours in the United States.
Prestini, after a fruitless search for reeds that could produce perfect sound, founded a factory to make oboe tools and reed products "to the exceptional quality standards he demanded for his artistry," says his grandson, Giuseppe "Pino" Prestini II, president of Prestini Musical Instruments Corp. The professor established the House of Prestini and developed several technical innovations to improve the instrument's performance.
"Together with his musical and artistic ability, he possessed a deep technical understanding of the oboe. He studied the oboe's various components and made a number of noteworthy modifications so as to obtain the most satisfactory instrument for all performers and in particular his students," Prestini says.
"Today, the changes that Professor Prestini introduced for the oboe are known as the Prestini keys."
Professor Prestini's son, Silvano, followed in his footsteps. He was professor of oboe and piano at several Italian conservatories and performed at the leading theaters and opera houses in Italy and Europe. After Silvano joined the House of Prestini in 1947, the company began to expand rapidly.
Silvano Prestini moved the factory from Florence to Cogolin, France. This area, near the French Riviera, produces the finest Arundo Rex cane, the material used for reeds.
Under Silvano's leadership, the company also began manufacturing key pads for woodwind instruments. These pads, which go underneath the keys, determine the quality and scope of resonance in woodwinds, including the saxophone, clarinet, piccolo and flute.
In the early 1970s, after Pino Prestini joined the company, the family opened an office in New York to import goods from the Italian operation. "And then in 1979 we formed the corporation here (in Nogales) and started manufacturing here," Prestini says. Currently, the company is headquartered in Nogales, where the manufacturing takes place, and has a satellite office in Cologne, Germany.
"The main reason we came from Italy was in order to be closer to the U.S. industry manufacturing the musical instruments, you know, for which we sell the pads," says Prestini, 49, who lives in Nogales with his wife, Annette, who is human resources director for the company, and their 10-year-old daughter, Michela.
Prestini's office walls are covered with sepia-toned photographs of his grandfather, father and of other famous musicians with whom they played, along with letters of appreciation in Italian, written on paper yellowed with age, from various musicians. Grandfather Prestini, in a large portrait behind Prestini's desk, seems to be watching over his grandson as his legacy continues to flourish. A leather-bound book of original musical compositions by Prestini's grandfather rests on top of a wooden stand in front of his desk.
"I think one of the greatest gifts in my family is the fact that this tradition was preserved, as you can see from all these historic pieces we have," Prestini says.
Today, the company produces reeds and pads, and recently began producing saxophones, Prestini said during a recent interview at company headquarters, located at 351 Patagonia Highway in Nogales.
"Initially the company worked as a twin plant, so we had a factory in Mexico and one in the United States. In Mexico, we would do some parts of the intensive labor, and in the United States, we would do the finishing quality control and everything," Prestini says.
About 24 employees work at the 5,800 square-foot Nogales plant, manufacturing the reeds and some of the pads, and assembling the saxophones. Another 30 employees work in the 4,000 square-foot factory in Nogales, Sonora, assembling the pads. An additional eight workers do assembly at home in Arizona and are paid by the piece, he says. The company produces about 10 million pads, 1 million reeds, and more than 600 saxophones annually.
Prestini says challenges arose in America because, "One thing that was really difficult...was that all of our manufacturing was European dependent. All the suppliers were European, all of the raw materials were European," Prestini says with an Italian accent. Training U.S. suppliers to manufacture the materials that the company needed "took years of pain."
Training the suppliers wasn't the only major task. Manufacturing equipment also had to be developed. Prestini, who has a degree in mechanical engineering, designed and built all the machines currently used in manufacturing the reeds in the Nogales plant. The equipment used to produce the pads is from Italy and has been automated by Prestini. The machines can be heard humming throughout the factory, amid the hammering of wooden mallets--used in short-run production of pads--and blaring Mexican music enjoyed by the employees.
"When we came to America we had six customers," Prestini says with a hearty laugh. "Now we have over 2,500 accounts. So it was smart (of my father) to make the decision to move the company to the United States."
The company boasts $1.4 million in sales annually and was listed last year as the 16th largest exporter in Arizona by The Business Journal, serving the Phoenix area. The Journal maintains an annual list of the 25 largest Arizona exporters ranked by percentage of sales in exports and based on questionnaires filled out by the companies listed.
One-third of Prestini Corp. sales are from exports, Prestini says. He declined to give a dollar figure for export sales. "I don't think there's another company in Arizona that exports to as many different countries as we do. We export to literally every country in the world."
Pads are sold to instrument manufacturers in the United States, Europe, Japan and Taiwan. More than 1,800 repair shops in the United States also buy pads, which are handcrafted discs made from either bladder (cow intestines) or leather on the bottom, felt in the middle and cardboard on top, Prestini says. Under each pad is a resonator made out of metal or plastic, which is dome-shaped or flat, depending on the musician's preference. "And in the early '90s, we started making saxophones," Prestini says. The body and keys of the saxophone are made in Taiwan and assembled at the Nogales plant.
"The reeds we sell mostly directly to importers from foreign countries or to dealers and wholesalers here in the United States," Prestini says. Many of the reeds are made from cane that was grown from roots Silvano Prestini brought from the family plantation in southern France. The cane is grown on 80 acres that Prestini bought in Sonora. Because Nogales, Sonora, and southern France have similar climates, growing conditions are excellent, Prestini says.
Prestini planted the first field of cane there in 1985. "It took us about five years to get the field up to the level where we could use it for our manufacturing. So before we used to use cane strictly from France, and now we use maybe 10 percent from Europe and California and the rest is all from Mexico," Prestini says.
The firm worked closely with University of Arizona music professor Elizabeth Ervin in developing the cane.
She helped the Prestinis learn "when to cut it, how to age it," Prestini says. "She made the connection between the cane in the field and the musician."
Ervin, interim associate director of the UA School of Music, says she got involved with Prestini "because I'm an instrumentalist, a saxophonist, and for a long time had been interested in trying to do a project like this because the commercial reeds that we get tend to be so bad. And, of course, the reeds are a really, really critical part of playing. No matter how good you are, no matter how good your instrument is, if the reed is bad, you're going to sound awful. So it's really critical to have good reeds."
Ervin worked with some of the technicians in Prestini's factory, and designed "what we thought was the perfect shape for a reed," which is similar to a duckbill. This design, executed with the "gorgeous cane" grown in Sonora, resulted in a reed that has been tried "by people all over the country and the response has been wonderful. They're really catching on," says Ervin, who has been professor of saxophone at the UA for 23 years. Ervin uses Prestini pads and reeds not only in her saxophone, but also in her clarinet and flute.
The company now offers two brands of reeds, one made from Mexican-grown cane, and one from French cane. The reeds come in eight available strengths for four types each of clarinet and saxophone.
The traditions and skills passed down through three generations of the Prestini family have contributed to the success and continued growth of the company, as well as its reputation among musicians.
"Pino comes from a tradition of musicians. His family, his father and his grandfather were...some of the most famous musicians in the world," Ervin says. They also were "makers of fine instrument products, you know, the knives and the tools that go into repairing and making reeds and instruments.
"And so Pino inherited this sort of business and this mentality from his family, that they're from the old kind of artisan school where things are done by hand. And nowadays, unfortunately, the music business has gone the way of most other businesses into like heavy, heavy mass production. And Pino still does a lot of hand work in everything he makes. He's got this sort of mentality that 'instead of making as many things as I possibly can,' his mentality is, 'I'll make as much as I can make well using the techniques I know are best,' " Ervin says.

What kind of firewall do you have? Can you look at the logs and see if shows one IP has a lot of traffic on it?
If you don't have that ability on the firewall, assuming you have more than one network switch, start by having everything on, and notice that the internet does not seem to function. Start turning off switches one by one until the internet comes back up, at that time you have it narrowed down to a device on that single switch.

thanks bro
I am using 3 unmanageable switches, can u advice me how can i generate my network logs?
Dec 22, 2011 at 3:42 UTC
If the internet connection is down for the whole network, I would connect a known good PC/laptop direct to the router, via a switch if necessary, to check the connection and work back from there.
Not sure if one infected PC would stop the internet for the whole network.
Dec 22, 2011 at 5:04 UTC
thanks dude
just to inform you that I was using linksys RV-042 Dual wan port and 4 Ethernet port router. I had change it yesterday, now internet work fine with another router. will let you know if its happen again.

Hi there,
If you've installed OpenSSO Enterprise 8.0 on Glassfish, you may have the following problem:
- After installation of OpenSSO, you try and login.
- Using the correct username and password you are redirected back to the login screen.
The fix is to add the line
As a JVM option in Glassfish, when changing the other JVM options (like -client to -server).

I love it! I'm Black/Hispanic and my boyfriend is White. I don't care about his race, though. My friend introduced us so it's not like I knew what he looked like beforehand. I have dated White and Black guys before. I tend to date White guys more, though, because I live in a predominantly white community so there's not too many colors to choose from, haha.11|01|0

December 3rd was our last meeting for 2010 and we celebrated with our annual Christmas Party. Despite the weather we turned up with our goodies and Christmas writings. Mike set us off with his fiendish book quiz that had most of us scratching our heads. Great fun though.
Tom had written a special christmas play in which we all had a part. So many thanks for that, it was great fun to do and we take our hats off to Tom's super casting skills.
For those who couldn't make it, we were thinking of you and hope everything is fine.
Looking forward to next year and our first meeting in January.
Wishing you all a very Happy Christmas and Sucesssful New Year.

Jess and Brendan Ibbett might call Sydney home but their beautifully curated corner of the internet; Shelf/Life appeals to detail orientated online shoppers around the world.
Having been early adopters of design focused online retail since 2009 they decided to close the doors to their small Surrey Hills boutique to concentrate on the development of their internet based offering and the extension of their natural but modern aesthetic (which I am pretty obsessed with!)
They mix wares by talented local makers and designers with hand picked product from around the globe. With the recent relaunch of their site, Jess and Brendan spent some time getting creative with team like minded collaborators to shoot some of their great collection! Here is a snippet of these below with photography by Luisa Brimble, styling by Jess with Jasmin Wong of Millet Studio topped off with food by The Floury Baker.
If you like the vibe then you'll definitely like to explore more here.
I think Shelf/Life has set an impressive precedent for independent online retailers in what is rapidly becoming a highly competitive market!

Dropbox integration impovement: Add form field {tags} to the pathAsked by Wtfuck on November 27, 2013 at 03:12 PM
Hello guys !
It will be great to improve the dropbox integration
I would like to have something like that. To be abble to creat subfolder
I think it will be more powerfull
Thank you !
JotForm Support
Thank you for your suggestion.
I have forwarded a feature request ticket to our Development Team.
We will let you know if we get any updates on this request.
Okey then we will wait.
i know that you don't have ETA about this feature...
But can you confirm if this will be implented or not ?
i guess it will not be very hard to add this feature.
JotForm Support
My feature request ticket is supposed to be reviewed within 24 hours. Then, it is most likely it will be approved and added to the system with some status (for example, 'Nice To Do' or 'Important'). We will try to keep you updated on the status of this request.
Okey i underestand !
I will come back to you in 2 days ;)
Hello Mike !
Do you have news about the feature ?
JotForm Founder
We receive a lot of feature requests and adding a feature request to the list does not guarantee if it will be implemented or if it would be implemented in a short time. It just means we will consider it in the future revisions of the dropbox feature. Thanks for your understanding.
Hello Aytekin !
I already know it, just would like to know if it will be approved or not.
Any way it will be higtly appreciate if you make a system like votebox to make a list of all the feature request and comment from the staff
Thank you
JotForm Founder
Yeah, I love the votebox feature of Dropbox. We should have something like that.
Unfortunately, I don't know if we will implement it or not. It is a decision we will make looking at all dropbox requests. Thanks for your patience. :)
Hello Aytekin !
Since I found a bug on the dropbox intergation. I hoped that the dev can add this feature at the same time.
Thank you

Was happy with the material and how soft and warm it felt... WIll definitely be wearing it over the winter all the time!
However, the shoulder off is a bit deceiving; bought a size S which was a perfect fit, but the shoulder off refuses to go off properly, the collar is too small and keeps slipping back!
Besides that s'all good. :)

A pair of pretty tight jeans or nice tight black faux leather pants. A size 4 to 6 American sizing is my favourite size for a woman to be combined with a nice top of some kind. Tight jeans and tight black faux leather pants turn me on like crazy. I love them. :)00|00|0

B.A. Biology, State University of New York at Binghamton, 1977
M.S. Biomechanics, University of Oregon, Eugene, Oregon, 1984
Ph.D. Biomechanics, University of Oregon, Eugene, Oregon, 1986
Dr. DeVita currently holds the position of L.T. Walker Distinguished Professor in the College of Health and Human Performance.
Dr. DeVita has been investigating the biomechanics and motor control of human locomotion for the past 25+ years. He has published in the areas of ACL injury, knee osteoarthritis, aging, obesity, and locomotion in healthy people.
Dr. DeVita teaches a variety of courses in the areas of structural kinesiology, biomechanics, and research procedures.
Dr. DeVita serves as President of the American Society of Biomechanics and also serves on several study sections for the NIH including the Musculoskeletal and Rehabilitation Sciences (MRS) study section. He is currently on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Biomechanics and is a Fellow of the American Society of Biomechanics, the American College of Sports Medicine, and the National Academy of Kinesiology. He is also a member of the International Society of Biomechanics.
Sometimes he plays a good game of ping pong.
- Link to CV
- Current Projects
- Mechanical Plasticity In Locomotion With Age (Co-Investigators: Hortobagyi and Rider): The premise of this work is that healthy human aging involves mechanical plasticity in locomotion that produces a distal to proximal shift in muscle function. We express this idea in this manner also: aging produces a redistribution of joint torques and powers such that greater hip torque and power is used to compensate for reduced knee and ankle torque and power during gait. One current study along this line investigates the biomechanical phenomenon of accelerating while walking. We are investigating the redistribution of joint torques and powers in older adults as they increase their walking velocity. We expect that older adults accelerate by increasing hip torque and power more so than young adults and ankle torque and power less so than young adults.
Locomotion comparison between skipping and running gaits. It appears that skipping may provide greater aerobic and cardiovascular training than running and it may provide this benefit while creating lower skeletal loads than running. Hmmm, that's pretty interesting. We are comparing locomotion biomechanics including knee and Achilles tendon loads and metabolic cost while skipping and running at the same speed. Suppose skipping were to have these advantages? We wonder if people would incorporate some amount of skipping in their total training program. Interesting idea.
Strength Training and Arthritis Trial (START, P.I. Steve Messier, Wake Forest University): This NIH funded research investigates the effects of an 18-month, high-intensity strength-training intervention on thigh composition, clinical outcomes, knee joint forces, inflammation, and pain in older adults with knee OA. Results of this trial will provide critically needed guidance for clinicians in a variety of health professions who prescribe and oversee treatment and prevention of OA-related complications.

How I can specify that a Chinese language version of this text appears on the Chinese language version of the form?Asked by cancanmobile on December 31, 2016 at 04:08 PMCould you also advise how I can specify that a Chinese language version of
this text appears on the Chinese language version of the form?
JotForm Support
Could you let us know if you have enabled multiple languages on your form to display it in Chinese language? As I check your form http://www.jotform.co/form/43420990799871 I see that it is not enabled to have multiple languages on the form. Are you referring a different form?
We request you to take a look at the following to make your form multi-lingual.
Let us know if you are referring something different. We will be happy to help.
43420990799871 is not our form.
The form I am referring to is 63627448127461... we have already enabled multiple languages.
My question relates to our use of:
(a) International Telephone Widgets with custom CSS sub labels (added because the widget does not have a sub label component). See the widgets labelled "Phone Number" and "Customer Service Number"
(b) the list inside the Dynamic Dropdown widget we are using labelled "Business Category". We need to provide foreign language text for both the CSS sub-label and also the nested list itself.
My form is 63627448127461... not sure whose form http://www.jotform.co/
form/43420990799871 is...
JotForm Support
Ok. Since your question is posted in the other thread, I was checking a wrong form. I have checked your JotForm and see that the form is enabled with Chinese language also. When we choose the Chinese language, the sub-label is displaying in English.
Please allow me some time to check on this and get back to you. Thank you for your patience.
Thank you... That is precisely what I am trying to fix!
JotForm Support
How about making use of the Text element instead and just position it properly below the widget? This way you can have a proper element in your form which can be translated
If you need assistance on this, please let us know.

Amendment 11
The Judicial power of the United States shall not be construed to extend to any suit in law or equity, commenced or prosecuted against one of the United States by Citizens of another State, or by Citizens or Subjects of any Foreign State.
This amendment was proposed by congress, after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1793 that two South Carolina men could sue and collect debts from the State of Georgia, to make sure that states are protected by sovereign immunity, or certain types of legal liability. The amendment was approved on March 4, 1794 by congress, and ratified on February 7, 1795. At first the amendment didn't stop cases against states when federal law was an issue, and it also didn't stop cases that were brought against a certain state by citizens of that state. Today this flaw has been cleaned up and the Supreme Court ruled that, unless they specifically agree to be sued, the states are immune from all lawsuits in a federal court from citizens living in the United States or any foreign country.
Hope this presentation was helpful to you!
