Transportation Safety
Always fill the front seats first.
For trip caravans:
According to the NHTSA, 80% of people killed in rollover crashes were not wearing their safety belt.
Many injuries and deaths attributed to large vans are a result of ejection. Once vans begin to roll over, many people are killed because they did not use seatbelts.
This is the result of poor supervision by the driver and senior occupants who fail to ensure that all passengers are buckled up.Safety Belts!
the van behind the rear wheels.
In a normal seating position, you should not be able to see any part
of your own vehicle in the side-view mirrors. Watch the animated
illustration below.
Adjust the side-view mirrors just beyond the point where you
could see the side of the car on the inside edge of the mirror.How to Correctly Adjust Your Side-View Mirrors:
~ Never cruise in another vehicle's blind spot! If the other driver cannot see you, the driver may attempt a lane-change, causing you to make an abrupt avoidance maneuver which can result in loss of control of the van and potential rollover.
~ When changing lanes, use both mirrors and a brief head-turn back. Have the front seat passenger assist you, if needed.
Slow moving vehicles:
~ Allow more distance than usual, as slow moving drivers are likely to brake suddenly or make unexpected maneuvers.
~Also, allow more distance if you are being tailgated. This will enable you to stop more gradually if the driver in front of you stops suddenly.
~ Pass with caution. Again, a slow driver may make an unexpected move which could result in an abrupt maneuver on your part.
How do you determine a safe following distance?
Entrance/Exit Ramps:
Hydroplaning any part
You are driving a longer, heavier vehicle. When driving on a highway or open road, your responsibility is to be aware of, and avoid situations which may result in the loss of control of your van. Watch the road at least ¼ of a mile ahead. Drive slower and leave an ample clearance between your vehicle and others, so that you can avoid abrupt maneuvers and/or hard breaking.
…never attempt to correct the van while maintaining your speed.
~Due to the weight of the van, inertia will cause the rear-end to try to overtake the front (fishtail). You will lose control of the van and will likely roll.
~Slow down (to a near-stop if necessary) before righting the vehicle.
if you have a passenger to assist.

In which men discuss John Updike, the elusive perfect novel, and "the really big questions." Check out this great conversation between Interview magazine's Michael Hafford and How to Read a Novelist author John Freeman. It's short, but it gets a lot of bang for its buck.
"I'm probably going way out of my league here," John says, "but even with dissonant music, if you can push through the pain into some deep neural harmony of: 'This is what life is!' Harmony of meaning and the sound of language is where the perfection occurs. A lot of novels wax in and out of that thing. Doing the work, moving the story along, you feel the intensity wane and you have a time to doze. The ones where you're glued to it the whole time because it's that intense—those are the masterpieces."
And if you're around New York tonight, John will be sharing more deep thoughts (not too deep—just the right amount of deep) with Geoff Dyer at PowerHouse Arena at 7pm—we'd love to see you there!

Goa-based startup Browntape lets merchants sell their products across multiple platforms including major Indian ecommerce players like Amazon, Flipkart, eBay, Snapdeal, Rediff Shopping, Tradus, Naaptol, ShopClues, etc. from one single centralized inventory management system. They have even partnered with ecommerce software giants like Magento, Shopify, BigCommerce, and OpenCart for effectively managing sales and inventory.
According to Your Story, they raised an undisclosed amount of investment (around $ 1 million) from Seedfund and serial entrepreneur Krishnan Ganesh in February 2014. They are using the fund in hiring right talent, enhancing the technology, increasing the sales as well as marketing team in major cities of India.
Started in mid-2012, Piyush Goel, Ian Morgan and Gurpreet Singh are the three musketeers that spearheaded Browntape. Gurpreet says, "Browntape started with a handful of people in mid-2012. Our journey has been rapid, with multitudes of highs and lows."
Gurpreet, who is the CEO of Browwntape, is a Computer Science Engineer and has an MBA in IT from Symbiosis College, Pune. His co-founders, Piyush Goel and Ian Morgan did their PhDs in Artificial Intelligence together in the UK.
What was considered a gigantic and riskiest task to sell the same inventory on multiple marketplaces is now an easy and simple affair. Just update your inventory in Browntape and BOOM! All your integrated marketplaces will be automatically updated and synced in real-time without any fuss. It will also aggregate your orders, analytics and sales reports from multiple marketplaces on single dashboard.
He says, "Our software product attracts experienced online sellers that want a tool to enable systematic tracking of their product inventory and sales. We are present across genres like Electronics, Jewelry, Apparel, Bags, Shoes etc."
Merchants can also create bar-coded shipping labels, branded invoices and set automated emails, which will be triggered once the customer buys their products from any of their registered platform.
They are also in the business of empowering offline merchants to sell their products on ecommerce sites like Ebay, Amazon, Flipkart, Snapdeal etc. without any hassle. This service is customized according to the needs and businesses of clients.
Gurpreet further adds, "We largely target offline businesses that desire to move to the online space, as well as manufacturers, retailers, exporters, brands etc. It is personalized to each client's needs and our trained ecommerce team takes complete charge of the daily operations with world class technology, pre-optimised processes and ecommerce expertise."
When asked how they are different from other similar service providers like BoostMySale, UniCommerce, Ecomdash, Orderhive, Seller Active and Channel Advisor, he said, "Browntape is committed to using multi-channel ecommerce as a medium to create thousands of Multi crore success stories. We are also committed to keeping our service affordable for all sizes of businesses and aid them to run efficiently. Also, using our own software helps us understand our customers acutely as we sell and experience the same trials and tribulations."
Browntape has faced many difficulties in attaining APIs from ecommerce companies and hiring the right candidate, which was extremely important for the growth of the company. He says, "Our biggest challenge so far is when it comes to hiring the right employees for our organization. We are constantly looking to grow our team with likeminded people that are as hungry for growth and success as we are. Sourcing candidates with the required qualifications is a constant struggle, and we are refining our staffing processes to achieve desired results."
He further adds, "Another rigid assignment is attaining the right technical API's from Indian players like Snapdeal, Flipkart etc. When we launched Browntape, we looked far and wide in the tech market for the much required assistance to deliver a "Wow" product. I must say it was challenging and we have been persistently working in-house to upgrade the product and efficient on par with global standards."
In just 3 years of operations, they are successfully dominating this space in ecommerce industry. Below are the milestones of Browntape's achievements.
|Mid 2012 – Mid 2013
|Browntape was launched and this year was dedicated to product development. Heavy brainstorming, coding and modifications were involved to create a customer affable product.
|Mid 2013
|The founders participated in the GSF Accelerator program, a platform for product-oriented startups.
|End 2013
|Pushed for funds with various investors.
|Feb 2014
|Received funds from Seedfund and Mr. Krishnan Ganesh.
|March 2015
|The Company had grown, with 120+ employees and 100+ clients.
|May 2015
|Browntape has 2500+ subscribed users.
Since Gurpreet has loads of experience in playing the key role in development and success of major companies like Merucabs, Kotak, Landmark Group Dubai, IDG India and Sharekhan , he has a striking advice for entrepreneurs.
"My genuine advice is to NEVER GIVE UP! Consider a startup as a see saw that might have more see's or saw's depending on your luck! Every day is uncertain, with a multitude of highs and lows. Self-Pressure to start, survive, grow and then grow even more is the seed that pioneers success stories.
An important point that needs to be kept in mind is that the management style has to be flexible with the different stages of the company.
To elucidate this further,
Pre account stage – Company consists of not mor e than 2-3 members, all the tasks involved from strategizing to daily operations to making a cup of coffee is done by them.
Pre seed stage – The primary focus is on attaining funds. All energies are directed to meeting investors, increasing awareness of the product in the market, building networks etc.
Post seed stage – Once the moolah comes in, the next rational step is to build a strong team. Rapid hiring is seen in this stage.
Post series A – When the team starts expanding, it is important to set up a structure. It creates discipline, a sense of belonging and goals for the employees. Thus, resulting in desired outputs."

Operation Logic Bomb, known in Japan as Ikari no Yōsai (怒りの要塞 "The Fortress of Fury") is a 1993 overhead action video game developed and published by Jaleco for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. It was first released in Japan on April 23, 1993, and later in North America in September of 1993. It is the second sequel to the Game Boy game Fortified Zone, following the Japan-only Game Boy sequel Ikari no Yōsai 2. Although the Japanese version shares the same title as the original Game Boy game, it isn't a remake. It was later re-released as BS Ikari no Yōsai on the Satellaview system.
The player has to liberate a secret futuristic laboratory dealing with interdimensional physics from monsters that escaped through a rip in the dimensional fabric of space and time. There are lots of robots and big bosses to fight as the main character liberates his comrades from being trapped inside sections of reality that are turned into a representation of the virtual world.
A group of people have joint ambitions to establish an unprecedented scientific theory. They called it the "crystalline substance transfer theory in dimensional physics." This helped to accomplish the rapid progress in recent years. The fear of leaks of confidential material is a huge expense that the leaders could not possibly afford. As a result, all the research was done on expansive grounds in a nationally-sponsored facility that was built behind the rocks.
However, because the near future also demands practical research, the people lost contact with the scientists working at the facility. Defense forces are immediately dispatched to an elite survey of troops. A sky reconnaissance plane was shot down last; forcing the area to go into a state of emergency.
Controlling a cybernetic soldier, the player starts out with two basic weapons and gains more as he progresses throughout the game. Computer memory banks will permit the player to tap into memories in order to solve the problem once and for all. All of the weapons are essential if the player wishes to beat the game. Enemies include common soldiers, cannon launchers, giant flying robots, and the extremely low amount of continues (3) allowed.

In a press conference Nov. 19, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced the city of Chicago will file a "Notice of Intent" to sue U.S. Steel...
Most economists agree that it will take a while to stimulate the economy, regardless of what the Bush administration does. This has led management to cut back their promotional budgets.
On the surface this appears logical. After all, inflation and fewer sales mean lower net income. In addition, the paring of this "discretionary expense" is relatively simple and has little negative impact as far as management is concerned.
But before you wade into your promotional budget with a massive red pencil, ask yourself a prudent question: How much should I cut from the promotional—advertising sales support and public relations—budget?
To answer this, ask yourself:
Investing in the Long Term
Advertising is an investment in both immediate sales and long-term objectives. It helps you retain your share of market and your image among your customers and prospects. It also reinforces customers' commitment in doing business with you.
Professional marketers and retailers look at advertising not as an expense but as an integral part of their total marketing mix. This means that, if it is at all possible, they maintain an aggressive advertising policy. Businesses know that promotion has a favorable effect on sales and income.
There currently is a volume of data indicating that during recessions or other difficult times, the companies that trim their advertising budgets suffer—and suffer the hardest.
Additional research conducted to determine a method of predicting sales from advertising found that companies that accelerate advertising spending during market slumps perform better in both the short and long term.
Researcher Vernon Van Diver studied more than 10,000 companies in approximately 800 business papers to find a relationship between advertising behavior and subsequent sales. He found two interesting patterns:
Other Findings
Other researchers such as Charles Mill of BPA and Wes Rosberg of Meldrum & Fensmith Advertising have drawn conclusions similar to Van Diver's. Certain relationships between advertising and sales have been proven time and again, such as:
Using these principles, Van Diver conducted an additional study of 100 businesses. He made predictions six months or more before earnings and sales were disclosed. On average, his predictions were within 1% of the actual figures.
It was found in a similar study that during a one-year period, organizations that did not cut back ad spending enjoyed handsome increases in both sales and new profits the next year. Sales were up an average of 55%, and net profit was up 40% over the base year.
Advertisers who cut back ad expenditures experienced no real growth during the period and net profits could not keep pace with that of consistent advertisers.
The Competitive Edge
Company management should exploit opportunities that lead to a greater competitive edge. If you want to be an industry player, present yourself as one. Do not wait to place advertising until it seems like all of the marketing variables are right.
By waiting, you provide the competition with the same opportunities, and as a result, you all start out on an even footing. A better alternative is to move forward on your publicity while the competition is pulling in its horns.
In good times and bad, the more aggressive your advertising is, the easier it is to meet and even exceed your most energetic sales and profit projections.

Restrict a Shell Script to run from a shell
I'm using two shell scripts named as SCR1 and SCR2
Where in this script SCR2 is called from script SCR1.
Ex :
# Script SCR1
My Requirement is to restrict the script SCR2 to run directly from
the command prompt or from any other script. But it should be
executed when ever it is called only from the script SCR1.
Please let me know whether is there any option / variable in
Linux by default to find the script execution type.
Or kindly suggest a better option.
Or kindly suggest a better option.
Then please first tell us what the script does and why it is important that executing this script should be restricted this way?
script 1 "filename0":
#!/bin/sh -
#!/bin/sh -
Actually script SCR1 is executed by the user and which calls the
script SCR2.
SCR2 is executed (i.e, called from SCR1) as below mentioned
sudo -u root /home/user/SCR2 DATA1 DATA2
#(To write in to a file owned by root)
SCR2 will be like :
# Script SCR2
echo -e "$1 - $2" >>/home/user/LogFile
Below are the details of file /home/user/LogFile are :
-rw-r--r-- root root /home/user/LogFile
Now the user has a option to write in to the file (owned by root)
any time using command "sudo -u root /home/user/SCR2" in shell,
Which should not be possible by the user.
Hope this is clear to you and let me know if any more details required.
And also please let me know whether your suggestion will suit my
I sincerely don't see the need for two script files, just use a function instead?
Your Requirement is to restrict the script SCR2 to run directly from
the command prompt or from any other script.
But it should be executed when ever it is called only from the script SCR1.
Can you write some line in SCR1 to change permission of SCR2 to executable and at the end revert it to nonexecutable
I have read through your statement of your problem several times & I still do not understand what you say you want. Everything else you say implies that SCR2 should run only when called from SCR1, & not when it is called from any other script or directly from the CLI. The problem is that in English as I learned it (from birth) & every Logic or Math class I took, "restrict to" precedes a list of what is allowed not what is denied -- as you seem to be doing. For example, our (U.S.) military will "restrict to base" or "restrict to quarters". Please clarify the statement of your problem.
I 2nd the Q about why 2 scripts are necessary.
Thanks WAJEDUR REHMAN,
But the SCR1 will be executed by a user (say ABC) and the SCR2 will
be owned by root.
Even if we are changing the ownership of SCR2 to user ABC then
obviously the user can make the SCR2 as executable from shell
prompt itself (using command chmod 755 SCR2).
Thanks Again.
Any other suggestions.
Hi archtoad6,
We have a script SCR1 which is world Readable and Executable
rwxr-xr-x USER USER SCR1
The script SCR2 which can only be accessed by root
rwx------ root root SCR2
Whenever a user executes the script SCR1 from shell prompt
it will make certain checks and if all success then it will
call the script SCR2. Using "sudo", whoes example will be
sudo -u root /home/user/SCR2 DATA1 DATA2
Also we have a file /home/user/LogFile whoes permission
will be
rw-r--r-- root root LogFile
In this case SCR2 will write in to the LogFile as root.
So if the USER executes the below command in CLI
sudo -u /home/user/SCR2 DATA1 DATA2
then he/she can write in to the file /home/user/LogFile
Which should not be allowed and can only be done whenever
the checks are completed in SCR1.
The REASON why we have two scripts (SCR1 and SCR2) here is we
have multiple scripts in SCR1 which will be execucted based
on some criteria's like user name / terminal / time, So thats
why we have two scripts here.
Let me know if more details required.
|All times are GMT -5. The time now is 07:14 AM.

Day Five in Burgundy: Bonneau du Martray, Clos de Tart, Faiveley, Niellon
Cote d'Or
Tasted July 5, 2013 by Burgundy Al with 609 views
Flight 1 - Bonneau du Martray (8 notes)
Tasting with Jean-Charles le Bault de la Morinière, proprietor of Bonneau du Martray, one of my favorite people in Burgundy both for his friendliness and wealth of knowledge. 2012 production might be approximately 25% of the level of a robust vintage and we haven't seen one of those since 2009.
Flight 2 - Domaine du Clos de Tart (2 notes)
I didn't realize quit how late Clos de Tart harvests. It seems they and Laurent Ponsot are typically the last to be done.
Flight 3 - Faiveley (8 notes)
I will include a handdful of my notes, but these were all 2012 barrel samples and therefore can't really represent the final assemblage for most cuvees.
Flight 4 - Niellon (7 notes)
Tasting with Michel Coutoux, son-in-law of Michel Niellon.

We have seen some of these video shots before. But there are some breathtaking clips that are not common, from around 4:14 to 5:36 that I found scary and incomprehensible. Clearly these are NOT ordinary people. I really can't relate to their mentality.
I Have A Trick
Jun 23
Here is a clever solution to improving at sports that I believe is transferable to all of one's life. I complained to Greg Reiss about my weak tennis backhand. Greg coaches squash and tennis at Millbrook School in upstate New York.
When we met for a lesson, he said that he had a trick for dealing with my problem. Instead of focusing on the poor backhand, he would work on my much stronger forehand. He told me to move a step to the left, when I was receiving serves, so that I could have more chances of using my forehand. He said to give up on a hard topspin backhand, which I couldn't do, and only hit a backhand lob, which I could do. He said to focus on my strengths, instead of debilitating attempts to master a stroke that continued to elude me.
And it worked. I felt better about my game, odds of winning points, self confidence. Maybe if I weren't so old and coming so late to the game, Greg would have given me different suggestions. But this was sound advice at my stage of learning.
Clearly this can be applied to everyday life. You just have to know what your strengths and weaknesses are. You might have to accept that you are good at speaking, but not at fixing car engines. You need to know yourself and pursue those paths that mesh with your skills.
This psychological experiment shows people confronting their fears of height and injury. Paid just $30 to participate, only 30% of the 67 subjects chickened out. Amazing to me that so many actually jumped. Very amusing to watch scared people reason with themselves out loud and make their eventual choices. What would you do?
Growing up in Florida and working at hotels during high school, I was proficient at diving off a three-meter board (10 feet) and doing somersaults and other tricks. I can't recall if I ever jumped from a higher platform. I did parachute jump out of airplanes at 1250 feet in the army, when I was 21. Not sure what I would do today. Below is the NY Times article that explains all.
Our objective in making this film was something of a psychology experiment: We sought to capture people facing a difficult situation, to make a portrait of humans in doubt. We've all seen actors playing doubt in fiction films, but we have few true images of the feeling in documentaries. To make them, we decided to put people in a situation powerful enough not to need any classic narrative framework. A high dive seemed like the perfect scenario.
Through an online advertisement, we found 67 people who had never been on a 10-meter (about 33 feet) diving tower before, and had never jumped from that high. We paid each of them the equivalent of about $30 to participate — which meant climbing up to the diving board and walking to its edge. We were as interested in the people who decided to climb back down as the ones jumping.
We filmed it all with six cameras and several microphones. It was important for us not to conceal the fact that this was an arranged situation, and thus we chose to show the microphones within the frame. Ultimately, about 70 percent of those who climbed did jump. We noticed that the presence of the camera as well as the social pressure (from those awaiting their turn beside the pool) pushed some of the participants to jump, which made their behavior even more interesting.
In our films, which we often call studies, we want to portray human behavior, rather than tell our own stories about it. We hope the result is a series of meaningful references, in the form of moving images. "Ten Meter Tower" may take place in Sweden, but we think it elucidates something essentially human, that transcends culture and origins. Overcoming our most cautious impulses with bravery unites all humankind. It's something that has shaped us through the ages.
'Ten Meter Tower' appeared at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival. It is part of a series produced by independent filmmakers who have received support from the nonprofit Sundance Institute.
Maximilien Van Aertryck and Axel Danielson are documentary filmmakers based in Gothenburg, Sweden, who have worked together since 2013.
Made it to the local ski slopes this month for the first time in three years. I was never a natural growing up in Florida, so it was a treat to watch my 27-year-old daughter and my 6-year-old grandson learn to snowboard. I stuck to skis. So beautiful to watch the fluid motion across snow. And then I bumped into this GoPro video of all kinds of sports in addition to those on snow. Magnificent. It does make me wish I were younger and could easily learn how to do some of these without big body risk.
Humans Are Amazing

I am awed…by the talent above and the unusual tennis serve techniques below:
Backwards Running?
Dec 6
This video shows Aaron Yoder setting a Guiness World Record for running the mile backwards! He did it in just under six minutes. Aaron explains the sport and how he got into it here . Below are some excerpts from his article.
…running backward is just fun. One of the biggest rushes I've ever gotten in life is when I'm running backward in complete darkness and going downhill. Your awareness is so high because you can't see a thing.
I've been running — first forward, now backward — my whole life…I didn't slow down until I'd been working at Bethany College as a track coach for seven years. It got to the point where my knees felt like they were grinding whenever I ran. Three years ago, my doctor told me, "You should never run again." While I ignored him, I was in a lot of pain and started to wonder, What am I gaining from this?
That's when I had an epiphany. It was as if a voice said to me, "Just turn it around and make good of the bad." I decided then and there that I was only gonna run backward for six weeks, and see how it went.
I didn't change anything else about my training — just the direction I faced. I'd do a speed day. I'd do a hill day. I'd do a tempo day. I'd do a distance day. I'd do an acceleration day. All backward. After six weeks, my body and mind felt so much better.
A few months later, I traveled to Essen, Germany, for the International Retro Running World Championship, the Olympics of backward running. I'd never raced backward around a track before, but I quickly discovered that it's the opposite of racing forward in some ways. When you're running forward it's an advantage to be right behind the leader so you know when to start making your move — because if you're out in front you don't know where everyone's at. But in backward running, the best position to be in is the front. That way you can see where everyone is. The sprints, though, can be difficult because you've gotta worry about staying in your lane, which is hard when you're going around turns.
Surfcasting In Nantucket
Nov 28
We spent a week in Nantucket in early October. Not too many folks around then, and I finally realized my dream of having a go at surfcasting. The first afternoon attempt was a complete bust. The inn provided an experienced guide at no cost who let the air out of his tires to 15 pounds and drove us on the sand. Nada for two hours. But I never give up.
Two days later I tried again, and this time I hooked five and landed three. Of course I wanted to eat them, but Captain Rob preferred to throw them back. It was very exciting to reel them in with the cold water crashing around and the nearby seals waiting to steal my hooked fish. I'm not much of a fishing enthusiast, but this was definitely a thrill.
And I didn't mind at all that my guide knew where and when to go, what kind of pole and lure. I felt very satisfied and proud.
When I was actively turkey hunting with a shotgun, I use to make fun of those who hired a guide to take the hunters to exactly the right place, do the calling, bring the bird into easy shotgun range and then pat the client on the back when it was time to take a shot. I was doing everything myself: the scouting, locating the roosts, knowing when to arrive in position, calling after watching videos and hearing the hens in the woods. A long and challenging process.
But a few-days-a-year visitor to the ocean or the woods is handicapped. Can't learn all it takes. Guides are good. I accept my limitations and have more respect for my colleagues from out of state. It was great fun, and much better when I caught fish, even if I had Captain Rob's help.
His trick biking moves are always a delight to watch and admire. But the video above is truly extra-ordinary–for the danger and the scenery. Over 45 million youtube views.
I am especially appreciative having recently borrowed a 3-speed bike in Nantucket and struggled unhappily against the slight inclines and the brisk 17-mph winds. My puny 13-mile, 3-hour trip was a major effort that took all my fortitude NOT to hitch a ride back from friends in a car who offered. And I was really shamed by a buddy who received my whining texts and wrote back unsympathetically, "Gosh Ira, you just rode a bike, not trek to the North Pole."
Here is another, more recent Macaskill video. I have more of them on this site.
Even if this is all doctored, which I don't think is the case, these stunts are very entertaining…amazing what people can do…even if it took them hundreds of tries to succeed!
This article summarizes research claiming old people are happier than young people. No concrete explanations why…just some guesses:
Despite our culture's obsession with youth, it turns out that the 20s and 30s are generally a very stressful time for many young adults who are plagued by anxiety and depression…They noted that there are many pressures unique to this life phase including establishing a career, finding a life partner and navigating financial issues.
But what makes it so amusing to me are the following facts about the people sampled:
Participants were contacted via landline, meaning the experiences of people who have only cellphones were not included in the results.
In addition, people were excluded from taking part in the survey if they had dementia, lived in a nursing home or had a terminal illness. That means the elderly participants were, on the whole, fairly healthy, which might influence their sense of well-being.
Finally, everyone involved in the survey lived in sunny San Diego. It is possible that aging in Michigan could be very different than aging in Southern California.
The study had major implications, especially considering that within just a few years, more people on the planet will be over 60 than under 15.
Here are some more excerpts:
Yes, your physical health is likely to decline as you age. And unfortunately, your cognitive abilities like learning new skills and remembering things is likely to suffer too.
But despite such downsides, research suggests that your overall mental health, including your mood, your sense of well-being and your ability to handle stress, just keeps improving right up until the very end of life. Consider it something to look forward to.
In a recent survey of more than 1,500 San Diego residents aged 21 to 99, researchers report that people in their 20s were the most stressed out and depressed, while those in their 90s were the most content.
The older people were, the happier they felt…"People who were in older life were happier, more satisfied, less depressed, had less anxiety and less perceived stress than younger respondents."
People's goals and reasoning change as they come to appreciate their mortality and recognize that their time on Earth is finite.
"When people face endings they tend to shift from goals about exploration and expanding horizons to ones about savoring relationships and focusing on meaningful activities. When you focus on emotionally meaningful goals, life gets better, you feel better, and the negative emotions become less frequent and more fleeting when they occur."
Hahaha. This 80-year-old has a terrific, upbeat attitude about how to live a life. Check out his "Hot Grandpa" modeling moves in the first 30 seconds of the video below.
Perhaps you have heard of Rafaela…she just won the women's gold medal in Judo. Her rise is a great achievement worth appreciating, and this 2014 video spells it out beautifully.
Her story is outstanding: raised in the City of God favela (shanty town or slum), she played and fought in the streets. She was always in trouble. But at age eight, her father took her to a local judo academy, and her coach saw her talent and cultivated it. He said she was used to seeing crime, drug dealers, dead bodies. She knew that the struggle in the dojo (training gym) was nothing compared to that.
She became so good that she competed in the 2012 Olympics in London. But she was disqualified there for using a leg move that had recently been declared illegal. She almost considered quitting judo after that…and the racist words hurled at her. But her judo friends and coaches supported her and encouraged her to stay with it…then she became the world champion in 2013 and the Olympic champion in 2016.
Lots of young people want to follow her and be like her. Silva tells them to be themselves and follow their own dream. Good advice.
Another great part of this story involves the gym she went to that was founded in 2003 by Flavio Canto, who won a bronze medal in men's judo at the 2004 Olympics. He was a Brazilian who had grown up partly in England and the US and saw the extremes of rich and poor in Rio and wanted to do something about it. So he offered free judo classes to kids from the favelas. He saw that the discipline and achievements in the dojo led to improved performance, values and attitudes in all the rest of the kids' lives. In school and at home, judo's teachings of bravery, determination and humility were transforming the kids. They were improving and bettering themselves. Canto's dojos are in five different favelas catering to around 1000 students.
"In life we always seek for an activity that makes you complete. Until then my life was all about judo and the Olympic dream. When the Instituto Reação came into my life I found a new way, which made me feel accomplished. This social project prepared me to leave the competition behind. In my last years as an athlete I no longer felt so motivating to have results and winning medals. I knew within me was born a desire to do more important and relevant things," said Flávio.
"When this project started I began to live the reality of the slums and that shocked me a lot. I realized that there were generations getting lost to violence, in the drug dealing war. It was common to see young boys of all ages carrying weapons very close to our academy here in Rocinha. I still wasn't sure if my intention of bringing sport and education (literacy) closer to these kids could work," he explains.
There is no doubt about it now. He certainly has made a difference way beyond discovering and training an Olympics gold medalist.

This is very helpful.
Kawika Singson is a Hawaiian-born "lava-enthusiast" photographer who risks his life to take close-up photos of flowing lava. He walks on mostly-cooled, but still very hot, surfaces to take his pictures.
The video above shows him running through the lava field. Singson's run through the lava is just one part of his seven-mile hike that leads to the active flow. He usually starts his journey at night, so he can clearly see the orange glow of the lava beneath him.
His decades of lava running and living on Hawaii has made him an expert in this extremely dangerous and niche hobby that most people should never try, as Singson is at pains to point out.
I definitely feel that this athletic, life-threatening achievement is definitely worthy of applause and admiration. It may not be as highly skilled as traditional sports competitions, but it is a lot more unique and memorable than many of them.
You can read more about him here . And you can also see more of his videos here
On July 30, 2016, Luke Aikins, age 42, became the first person ever to attempt a skydive with neither a parachute nor a wingsuit, and this feat was broadcast live on Fox.
Mr. Aikins began his dive at an altitude of 25,000 feet, just 4,000 feet short of the summit of Mount Everest. Viewers watched him plummet, legs and arms spread, stomach down. Around 18,000 feet, he removed his oxygen mask and passed it to one of the three parachuted assistants diving with him. He aimed for the center of a 10,000 sq ft net, guided by GPS and lights. Seconds before impact, he flipped onto his back and landed safely in the California desert.
Aikins had been the backup jumper in 2012 when Felix Baumgartner became the first skydiver to break the speed of sound during a jump from 24 miles above Earth. He has made 18,000 skydiving jumps since he was 16.
Below is an interview of Aikins explaining his jump before he did it.
Aikins was able hit the net with pinpoint precision thanks to GPS alerts in his helmet and a sophisticated lighting setup on the ground that was visible from more than 25,000 feet up. If Aikins veered off course the lights appeared red, but when he was on target they shone bright white.
"They're very similar to the lights that a pilot sees when landing a plane at an airport."
Aikins was able to alter his course with just the slightest adjustments of his hands, because experienced skydivers have "incredible control" over where they land.
Here is an article with more pictures. Aikins said that the net IS his parachute. It's just that it is below him, rather than above him.
Helluva trick! Want to go for a little ride???
I have written about freerunning/parkour before. But this example is much more powerful. It talks about some young men in Kashmir, where I have visited decades ago, before tourists were beheaded and military conflicts were so common. These youths are angry and scared. But after learning and practicing their art, they are calm. Watch it for the context, not the beauty of the moves. And feel blessed that you do not live there.
"The long political conflict in Kashmir has taken tens of thousands of lives, and in July 2016, at least 30 people were killed by armed forces. Trust between Kashmiris and the Indian state that controls them continues to decline, especially among youth who've seen violence their entire lives. "The generation that was born and brought up post-nineties, they didn't have a childhood at all," says the human rights activist Khurram Parvez. This short documentary, Freerunner, follows a young man and his troupe of friends who practice parkour in the Kashmir Valley. The film is part of a larger project on youth who grew up in a militarized Kashmir; you can learn more about the project here ."
Here is an amusing article describing the various fads that have engulfed fitness nuts over the years. The video shows them all, and the article delves deeper.
The 10 described are: hoola hoops, vibrating belt, gym culture, jazzercise, aerobics, home equipment, tae bo, spinning, crossfit, wearable activity trackers.
Who'd have guessed these are merely fads that grab the popular mindsets…like invasion of the body snatchers!
Haha, good article/video. Funny to see all of the fads especially the older ones.
I haven't done any of those (Except Gym culture, I guess?) but Crossfit is very popular these days. Its good that it gets people into full body lifting exercises like deadlift, bench, squats, etc. However often there's little attention given to having good form and it's all about slamming in as many reps as fast as you can no matter what, under the pretense of being "intense" and "getting cardio"… when you could do an actual cardio exercise instead (like tennis, or running) and avoid unnecessary injuries. A lot of beginners get hurt badly. And yes the mentality is cult-like for sure.
When I first started this site, it was about wanting my own six pack. I learned about it, wrote about it and exercised. I publicly stated this goal to help motivate myself. I posted pictures as inspiration, including some of Cristiano Ronaldo, world-famous soccer star.
Now he is posting his own on Instagram. Here are some thoughts one columnist wrote:
"Ronaldo is another celebrity, then, determined to take charge of his own celebrity, knowing that his body is the commodity that requires the most diligent selling. He has his own underwear line, CR7, and is opening a five-star hotel Friday—what timing to be all over the tabloids flashing his six-pack!—in his native Funchal in the Portuguese archipelago of Madeira.
"Ronaldo, like David Beckham, another proud "spornosexual," knows that his career with Real Madrid and Portugal's national team—which just won its first European championship—can only last so long.
"He knows he is a brand and that his body is central to that brand. And so it comes out regularly, like a shopping display, whether to sell underwear or rooms in as smart new hotel."
Ah the trials and tribulations of those who know that beauty and health and youth is so fleeting…
Watch Out!

Oh well, kids will be kids, boys will be boys, but adults should not pretend they are kids. I give this guy credit for taking the risk and am sorry he suffered for being a little too big for the slide. Or just not holding on…if that was even possible.
Outstanding Gymnastics Moves
Jul 12
This is truly a breathtaking video showing some of the most extraordinary moves in women's gymnastics. It includes floor exercises, horizontal bar and balance beam with captions identifying the different moves. Never knew there were so many variations. Very helpful in understanding what I see next time.
So the results are in: Changing your diet is the better way to lose weight than more exercise. In spite of what Coca Cola and other sugar companies promise. Check out this video…
This is a funny video about a glass slide in LA that allows you to look down through it 1000 feet to the street. Scary. It reminds me of the Sky Tower in Auckland, New Zealand (tallest man-made structure in southern hemisphere) I visited, that had a 1.5 inch glass floor at the top you could look through and see the ground almost 1100 feet below. Nerve-wracking to walk on, even though it was guaranteed not to break.
Although these experiences take no skill or athleticism, it's a real confront to anyone, even if you are not generally afraid of height.
Here is a surprising article by Phil Edwards on Vox. Who would have guessed?
Today we're so used to runners that we practically ignore them. But as the above video shows, it wasn't always that way.
Back in the 1960s, jogging was typically reserved for athletes. Normal people mostly didn't do it — and when they did, it was cause for concern. The New York Times ran an amused trend piece in 1968 about the handful of unusual freaks who chose to run in their free time.
Running wasn't just socially awkward, either — for a while, it was a form of punishment for prisoners, via the treadmill. Throughout the 19th century, treadmills were occasionally used as a form of hard labor, including for prisoners like Oscar Wilde.
But in the mid-20th century, running crept into respectability, thanks to a confluence of trends in the late '60s. Jogging, once unusual, surged to "fad" status before becoming the fixture of life it is today. The interesting part is that, as the above video shows, all those runners pushing past us on today's sidewalks would have been strange just 50 years ago.
Ahhhh. So painful to realize I have been "doing it" all wrong for decades. I am referring to my eating patterns.
My chiropractor father taught me to drink a glass of water just before you eat. Starts the digestive fluids, which will help digestion. WRONG!
I heard this week from a naturopath that water should be ingested 10-20 minutes before the meal, so it can pass quickly through your stomach. Once you start eating, nothing leaves your stomach until it's been digested. So if you just took in a glass of water, it is going to stay in there with the food. And it's also going to dilute the stomach acids, which will slow down the speed of digestion.
So you are bloated with the water and stay that way longer, until everything is digested. Duhhhh. In fact the stomach will call for more acid to make up for the diluted acid that is supposed to do all the work. This puts additional strain on the whole system.
No wonder I feel bloated and it takes me so long to digest my food.
Beer and juices with your meal create the same problem. Wine however is acidic, so it helps digestion.
I hope there aren't too many mistakes like this in other parts of my life…

I am sure its not newsworthy at all when Bibles are burned.
Let me see if I have this right:
-Pastor burns Koran, Media plasters the story across the globe
-Obama uses the Constitution as de facto toilet paper and the Media looks the other way
Seems legit /sarc
And in doing so has committed the crime of again embarrassing the world wide Main Stream Media and progressive leftist governments who cower in front of evil Islamicists.
Too bad they never focus on Ann Barnhardt. (I wonder why!)
He's contributing to global warming!
I used to dislike this pastor, but after Hillary Clinton and David Petraeus begged him not to burn Korans, I began to root for him to do so. I DESPISE the Dhimmi groveling before these murderous savages.
Why are Jesse Jackass and Al Sharpton never referred to as "CONTROVERSIAL" reverends?
Where's the proof that the Iranian paster is, still, alive?
I want to see toilet paper rolls with the face of Mohammed on them.
I want to see miniature Korans but are instead charcoal briquets.
I want to see a 100' tower with a revolving Koran atop it with flames shooting out of it burning night and day.
And with super sized bacon sizzling on top.
I want to see posters of burning Korans stuck on every single boxcar of a mile long train going through Moslem infested parts of America.
I want them pissed off.
Does he have a right to do this? Yes.
Was it SMART to do this? NO! Unfortunately, all it will do is spark more riots and beheadings, and may even work against that pastor.
There's a time and a place for everything, but this ain't it.
I have my copy of the koran on the floor in my car. It helps to prolong the life of the floormat.
Why didn't he offer a prisoner exchange, himself for Nadarkhani?
I support him for hav having the guts to do it, screw the Fascists if they can't take a joke, and screw them if they can.

Negotiating An Informal Arrangement
If you are having difficulty in making your monthly bill payments (or you are thinking that you are going to have trouble due to an unanticipated circumstance that has come up – car repair, school fees, etc.) your first reaction may be to simply ignore the problem (i.e. simply not make the payment) and then deal with whatever the creditor or creditors do to you as a consequence of not making the payment (a phone call, a letter, taking money directly out of your bank account, stopping utility services, garnishee, etc.). Doing nothing is a very normal consideration (and it is one that most people will immediately default to), but it is, unequivocally, the worst thing that you can do.
When we can`t keep our original financial commitments its natural to be afraid of what people will think of us and so it is natural to want to avoid the conversation. Will they think we are dishonest? Will they think we are a liar? Will it reflect poorly on my parents, my spouse, my children?
The fact of the matter is that people and businesses have to change their financial commitments to each other all of the time. A promise is really a commitment to do something based upon the prediction that you will be able to do that thing if the current situation remains the same. But things never do remain the same. Life happens; curve balls get thrown and everyday we find ourselves (and the people and businesses that we have relationships with find themselves) in situations were we are both unable to do what we said we would do the day, month or year before. Are we disappointed when this happens? Sure. Do we think the person is a dishonest, liar that is ruining her family's good name. No, of course not. We understand and we empathize with them. But you have to remember that the only way that we can understand and empathize with someone is if we talk to them.
So that`s really the first step that you need to take when you find that you are having trouble (or you think that you are about to have trouble) in paying your bills: talk to your creditors. Call them up and let them know the situation. You will be very surprised to find out that your creditors are often more than willing to work with you – after all, they know that situations like this happen all of the time. This is what we would call an Informal Arrangement.
An Informal Arrangement is a terrific tool that works great if you only have one or two creditors. Once you start to have multiple creditors things get a lot more difficult because there are more players involved and there needs to be a lot more detail and disclosure of income and expenses. This is when it helps to speak to a credit counsellor like the ones we have here with Bromwich and Smith.

I originally published this in Deep Magic Magazine. I release The Author Stories Podcast twice each week, and I'm grateful for the chance to sit down with the best of the best and glean some wisdom from them. I'm going to try to blog about some of those things I've learned, and here's the first in a recurring series. I hope you enjoy it.
I have a theory. Storytellers are born, but writers are made. What does that mean? I think that we are all born storytellers. I think it's something that's ingrained in our humanity. From the times when our very survival from generation to generation depended on passing wisdom from one group to another, we as a people were crafting parables, proverbs, stories, legends, poetry, songs, and instruction from our elders. Before we had the luxury of the written word, we were ensuring our survival by passing stories along.
Here's why I think storytelling is something we are born with. Watch children at play. They will happily create entire worlds to play in, or take a favorite character and live out whole new adventures, all within the confines of their imaginations. If you're lucky enough to be anywhere near when this is happening, you could get pulled in and be given a co-starring role.
The problem is that most adults have allowed this part of their humanity to atrophy. Like the biceps of an insurance salesman, the creative muscles must be flexed and put under tension and forced to work or else they become flabby and withered.
That is where the difference lies. We are born storytellers, but writers are people that see that small creative spark and continually provide an environment that allows that spark to breathe. They give the spark fuel—not too much and not too little, just the right amount—that will gently and gradually bring that spark to the raging fire of creativity.
I began the Author Stories Podcast in the fall of 2014 as a way to surround myself, albeit virtually, with the best of the best. I sought out writers that were doing great things and making a difference, and asked them to share some of their wisdom with me. For the last couple of years, I have produced this weekly podcast that one listener called "a master's degree course in creativity". I like that description.
I've tried to take some of the ideas and themes that come up over and over again on the podcast to highlight some that I feel are the most important.
The first thing is that there is no such thing as an aspiring writer. You either write or you don't, and putting your butt in the chair is the single thing that will help you bridge the gap from wannabe to writer.
The first thing is that there is no such thing as an aspiring writer. You either write or you don't, and putting your butt in the chair is the single thing that will help you bridge the gap from wannabe to writer. Writers write. It's as simple as that. If you need some encouragement to help you decide that you want to be a storyteller, here it is. I believe we have survived as a species because we tell stories. We pass down wisdom, information, and tales about the human condition because we can wrap those things up in story form. Sit down and tell your version of it.
Writing is hard. Sure, some days you will sit down and the story flows out of you like a river after a dam bursts. And some days you feel like a miner looking for a last nugget long after the vein has been completely emptied. But the stories that resonate the deepest come from the struggle of finding the thing that is not easy to find. Just like the discovery of a precious jewel long after the cave has been abandoned, you will not regret digging deeper to find the thing overlooked by everyone else.
Trust yourself. Writing is a very solitary pursuit, for the most part. You spend long hours in front of a computer or notebook, reporting on the characters and events in your head. After you spend the months immersed in your imagined world, you have to come back to where the rest of us are. That is when it's important to have a few people that you really trust help you see things in your story that you were too close to see for yourself. Learn which pieces of advice and comments are truly helpful, and which ones are just opinion. Make changes that help the story be the best it can be, then trust in your gift. You are the storyteller.
The Internet has changed publishing in fantastic ways. You don't need the gatekeepers to give you the green light to publish your book anymore. With digital publishing and social media, you can publish and build an audience of people that will help you spread the word. In the same way that the music industry has changed and the days of huge advances are essentially over, publishing has gone back to its roots where an artist is connecting directly with his or her readers, and this is a good thing. When the machinery and bloat of a thousand middle-men is stripped away, some really great art comes out. This is a golden time for indie music and publishing.
There are lots of trolls that won't appreciate what you do, but one day you'll receive an e-mail or comment from a reader, and they will tell you that the thing that you poured your soul into has helped them through a difficult time. Like a woman that looks back on the pain of childbirth and smiles when her baby learns to walk and talk, knowing that your story has found a home in someone else is worth all the pain and struggle.
I said earlier that writing is a solitary endeavor, and this holds true, but some of my closest friendships have come about from this podcast. Some of the friends I've made have sat across the table from me and broken bread in real life, some exist in the alternate reality of e-mail and Skype, but their friendship and input are invaluable to me. Writers are sometimes mercurial, introspective, and opinionated, but at the same time, some of the most humble and generous people you'll ever meet. Like iron sharpens iron, trading ideas and encouragement with other people in the trenches makes you a better writer and, I believe, elevates the craft for all of us.
I expected to write an article about very specific points of story craft and the execution of writing, but the more I thought about it, I realized that as writers we have the same struggles and hurdles to jump. But thankfully we have the tales of those that have gone before us to light our way.
Now I have to put my butt in the chair and get my next novel out. Thanks for reading.
Stu Remington is a successful novelist, but faced with a deadline for the final book in his best-selling trilogy, he finds himself stuck. Stu turns to an old typewriter that he acquired at a yard for a change of pace. When he realizes the next morning that the nonsense story he typed on the old typewriter has come true, Stu is set upon a path to not only fix his writer's block, but to face the demons lurking all around him, with the help of his faithful and sardonic bulldog Rolo and a cast of colorful characters that cross his path.
A story full of twists and turns, Writer's Block mixes elements of literary fiction with magical realism and a supernatural twist. Originally published as a serial, this story has received rave reviews and love from readers.
Writer's Block is available at all major e-book retailers. books2read.com/magictypewriter

After Warner Bros. revealed the first footage from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice at Comic-Con 2014, director Zack Snyder then released a high quality shot of Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman via his Twitter.
In the shot, Gadot is standing, dressed in the classic Wonder Woman outfit, atop of what looks like a mountain or volcano. Her feet planted firmly, she grips a sword tightly in her left hand, as if preparing for a fight:
What's interesting about Wonder Woman's costume is that instead of incorporating the traditional red, blue, and gold elements that she's known for, her costume is instead strictly a bronze colour with much darker elements.
PHOTO: New Look At Ben Affleck In "Batman v Superman"
We first reported on the news that Gadot had joined Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice back in December.
Many were worried that Gadot was not the right choice for Wonder woman because of her smaller stature. However, from the looks of the image above, Gadot has definitely managed to change her body in order to star as the famous Amazon warrior.
When Gadot was cast, Snyder released a statement, praising Gadot as the perfect choice for the role:
Wonder Woman is arguably one of the most powerful female characters of all time and a fan favorite. Not only is Gal an amazing actress, but she also has that magical quality that makes her perfect for the role.
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice will be released in theatres on May 6, 2016.

A new entry in my Memory Box project:
The Chestnut Roaster
Grandpa's Binoculars
Here's my illustrated story honoring my grandpa who was very important to me when I was growing up:
Dream of Hendrix's guitar
Here's a dream I had one recent night:
My Extraordinary Dream
My Extraordinary Dream was awarded a silver medal in the sequential category of The Society of Illustrators 54.
On the night of March 23rd, 2011 I had the following dream:
I've never had a dream like this before. It's so different because of the number and variety of scenes, the development of the characters, the level of detail, and the span of time involved. I experienced my dream as a series of scenes almost exactly as they appear here.
My dreams (even very unusual ones, and I've had a few) usually take the form of single scenes lasting a few minutes. They have people and places that are (or once were) familiar to me. Not so with this dream.
My first reactions when I woke up were that this dream was extraordinary, it seemed to me like a film, and I had to record it immediately before I forgot any of it. I immediately went to my drawing table where the entire story poured out of me before I came downstairs for breakfast. Here are sketches of the first ten panels which I made minutes after I awoke:
If dreams are my unconscious mind trying to tell me something, then what is the meaning of this dream? Who are the man and the woman, and what is the significance of their relationship and the choices they make? Why is the dream located at the edge of the jungle? And what does the lion represent?
Some day I hope I'll understand these things more fully.
I'm curious if others have had experiences like this. Have you ever had a powerful dream that you were able to record as artwork?

I'm going to firstly tell you about kid pokerstars small balls strategy which is pretty much bet half pot heads up against 1 opponent on any board since they are likely to have missed it. Let's give an example
I had aq opin the cut of raise 3x and the big blind calls. Flop 449 he checks. Daniel would say bet. However the thing is ace high is probably the best hand and the other thing is if he bets he may be missing value from the opponent bluffing on later streets. The problem is he needs a read. Another thing the opponent is unknown, no history with them. No tells nothing. So betting is safer right? However it means -EV. plus you may hit the turn or river and if he has kq he could lost alot or a2-aj whatever. So
So what's the right play? And if the right play is bet than when is it justifiable to check? When your opponent is aggressive? What if the opponent is aggressive but you don have a read? How much information do you need to check behind?

Timelapse: Cherrybrook station comes to life0:39
Timelapse vision shows the Northwest Rail Link coming to life with construction at Cherrybrook station.
New Premier Mike Baird gave one of his strongest indications yet that the NSW Government is considering selling off its $30 billion electricity networks to pay for future transport infrastructure projects.
Speaking this morning after touring the Cherrybrook station construction on the yet to be completed North West Rail Link in Sydney, Mr Baird said people in NSW are "crying out" for better transport infrastructure.
"I personally think it is a good idea for us to look at every opportunity to build more infrastructure," Mr Baird said.
"This is what good government is about. It's about responding to community needs, it's about providing public transport at the highest possible quality and it's about finding the funds to actually deliver it."
Mr Baird has already said he is keen to see projects including the M9 Sydney Outer Orbital motorway and a second Sydney Harbour rail crossing built.
When asked if that meant selling the so-called electricity "poles and wires", the Premier said: "We are not leaving any stone unturned to bring forward that infrastructure."
Mr Baird was quick, however, to point out that no decision on a sale had been made and that any change in the current policy to retain the electricity networks, would have to be taken to the election in March next year.
"Before the election we said there would be no sale and it would only be undertaken if there was a mandate. That position hasn't changed," he said.
"The Cabinet has not considered it, the party room has not considered it. The position has not changed, as we speak."
Mr Baird said the fact there was a drop in electricity prices in Victoria after its electricity networks were privatised was not a "green light" for NSW to push ahead with a sale.
The Premier also told reporters that he is still deciding the makeup of his cabinet and would not speculate on any names to be removed or added to his Ministerial team.
"Important decisions need to be made," he said.
When asked if Attorney General Greg Smith would be replaced Mr Baird said he would not speculate on the future of any individual members of his government.
The Premier would not confirm when the new Cabinet will be announced, but it is expected to be known on Tuesday.
