A Blog about some of the intrinsics related to programming and how one can get the best out of various languages.

Why it's important to be respectful and humble

Being Humble is Important

I want to talk (briefly) about why being humble is an important aspect of being a developer in the modern world.

Take it from a 50 year old programmer

One of the people who work with my company is a 50-something programmer, who's been doing this work for a very long time, and is mostly self-taught. (Maybe even entirely.) Recently I got the opportunity to sit down with this person for a one-on-one discussion, and his mentality and actions really put things in to perspective.

To give you some background information: this meeting was a discussion on some systems that he built which we'll be taking over shortly, we were going through a lot of the code and trying to make sure that we understood the flow of the software. It wasn't particularly confusing or disheartening, but there were some questions that I thought to myself as we were reviewing it, and thought "boy this part could really be done better."

This is the wrong mentality. Recently, it seems like society (especially the United States) has become very centralized on the idea of finding and pointing out other person's flaws, especially during a technical review. It's much easier to say "this is wrong" than it is to say "I like how you did __". It's much easier to put someone down than lift them up.

I'm telling you this because this particular gentleman changed my aspect on software engineering, as we were going through some of this code (which he had been the only maintainer of for a decade, literally), he was commenting to us out-loud, things such as the following:

I know there's a better way to do that now, but when I wrote this I only knew how to do it this way.

Now this wasn't prompted, we didn't point out flaws in his code, we didn't ask "why is this _ instead of _?", we were just making sure we understood the broader picture. He felt the need to tell us that, which means he probably felt somewhat threatened by us.

The biggest mistake you can make is to be rude or aggressive towards your own camp

This is so much bigger than we think. For a seasoned developer to feel threatened enough to have to preemtively defend himself in that manner is a tragedy. And I won't lie: this is my fault, we had a similar sit-down with this same person several months ago and I had pointed out some things that could have been done better. This is the wrong thing to do.

A colleague of mine on Twitter recently quoted and sed replaced and effectively coined the following phrase:

If you comment on someone's code, especially a junior dev, I expect you to say something nice, even if you have valid criticisms too.

It's easy to make people (especially junior developers) feel bad about the code they write, it's much harder to point out the good things. Just do it, swallow your pride (I know I have recently) and tell them what you liked, no matter how big or small.

I really liked the name you used for this, it actually makes the intent extremely clear.

Don't be sarcastic, mean it.

Don't worry, this post won't interrupt our continued adventures tomorrow, I'm going to be posting the technical articles on Monday/Wednesday/Friday, and non-technical articles (if I have any) on Tuesday and Thursday.

    With the birth of each child mothers have many questions on the care of the newborn by month. And rightly so! After all, the child's health from the conception up to the age of reason is completely dependent on their parents.

General info > Getting started > Cows and bulls

What about cows and bulls?

dogandcattle.jpgWe get quite a few queries about cows and bulls and whether you will come to any harm walking through a field of them. They are pretty large animals so they can be a little daunting.

Generally speaking cattle are quite safe. Bulls are usually OK providing they are in a field with cows; if they are on their own they can be more troublesome. A bull should not be left on its own in a field with a public right of way going through it, so encountering this situation should be rare.
Cows, calves and bullocks may be curious and come over to see you, but you should just stand up to them (show them who's boss!). If you want them to go away wave your arms around to make yourself 'look big' and shout at them. Bear in mind that farmers herd their cattle all the time, so they expect to be moved around by people. Once you have done this once and experienced success you'll probably feel much more confident about being close to these animals in future.

If you find yourself in a field with a lone bull you might decide it is best to find another route. If you do decide to walk through the field try to give it a reasonably wide berth and walk as quietly round it as you can (try not to run!). If you have a close encounter with one you can (in theory) use the ring in its nose to control it. You need to grab the ring and twist it. But really it should never come to that.

The one situation in which cows are really dangerous is if they have young and you have a dog. Cows are frightened of dogs and they will defend their calves if they think the dog is going to get near (essentially they see the dog as a wolf). With a dog you should give herds a very wide berth and very definitely avoid getting between a cow and its young. If necessary herd the cattle out of the way before crossing the field with dog, either by getting one person to go ahead to do this or by tying up the dog and doing it yourself. If there's no way of doing this most farmers would prefer that you find another way round, even if it means going off the public footpath. They really don't want you to come to harm and be responsible for your injuries.

If cattle do try to attack your dog, let it go. The dog will be able to escape and look after itself. Hang on to the dog and the cattle may well attack you. There have been fatalities in these circumstances, so just remember - let the dog go!

It is unfortunately the case that some landowners don't particularly like walkers and put up 'Beware of the Bull' signs to discourage people walking on their land. If you are on a right of way you should ignore such signs, take the precautions above and carry on enjoying your walk.

Jerome Silberman R.I.P

June 11, 1933 - August 29, 2016
better known by his stage name
Gene Wilder

When offered the role of Willy Wonka by Mel Stuart Wilder agreed with one condition:

When I make my first entrance, I'd like to come out of the door carrying a cane and then walk toward the crowd with a limp. After the crowd sees Willy Wonka is a cripple, they all whisper to themselves and then become deathly quiet. As I walk toward them, my cane sinks into one of the cobblestones I'm walking on and stands straight up, by itself... but I keep on walking, until I realize that I no longer have my cane. I start to fall forward, and just before I hit the ground, I do a beautiful forward somersault and bounce back up, to great applause.

Stuart asked why and Wilder's reply was:

"Because from that time on, no one will know if I'm lying or telling the truth."

Don and Jonna Bradway recently cashed out of the stock market and invested in gold and silver. They have stockpiled food and ammunition in the event of a total economic collapse or some other calamity commonly known around here as “The End of the World As We Know It” or “SHTF” — the day something hits the fan.
Washington Post

Rabbits truly are the “one-size-fits-all” preppers domestic livestock and after reading the reasons why raising rabbits could be ideal for any prepper, we think you will agree.  Believe it or not, rabbits actually are the most efficient of all livestock in converting feed to muscle mass. That basically means that it is going to take less pellets/grass/weeds per pound of meat to raise a rabbit to butchering size than for any other animal, including chickens. At the same time, rabbits are also faster at reaching butchering size than chickens.  The Prepper Journal

Prepper-oriented organically maintained farmstead of 8.63 Blue Ridge mountain acres, surrounded by larger farms/ranches and the Jefferson National Forest.  This farm is situated between two Appalachian mountain ranges, so is quite secure, and in a collapse situation it would be difficult for unwanted visitors to access it on foot from any major population center.  SurvivalRealty

So, what do you think of "Preppers"?  I don't think about them much, although we got a really good deal on a business back in 1999 from some folks who were fleeing the Y2K bug.

Corruption thy name is Clinton

Corrupt Legislation - E Vedder, Library of Congress

At least 85 of 154 people from private interests who met or had phone conversations scheduled with Clinton while she led the State Department donated to her family charity or pledged commitments to its international programs, according to a review of State Department calendars released so far to The Associated Press. Combined, the 85 donors contributed as much as $156 million. At least 40 donated more than $100,000 each, and 20 gave more than $1 million.

Among those granted time with Clinton included an internationally known economist who asked for her help as the Bangladesh government pressured him to resign from a nonprofit bank he ran; a Wall Street executive who sought Clinton's help with a visa problem; and Estee Lauder executives who were listed as meeting with Clinton while her department worked with the firm's corporate charity to counter gender-based violence in South Africa.

Is the Commission on Presidential Elections Non-Partisan

Photo: Gage Skidmore
The way it works is this, candidates must "have a level of support of at least 15 percent of the national electorate as determined by five selected national public opinion polling organizations, using the average of those organizations’ most recently publicly-reported results" CPD

Let us set aside the question of whether or not the CPD is "non-partisan" and ask this question...

Are the polls selected for inclusion non-partisan?

The polls for this year are:

ABC-Washington Post
CBS-New York Times
CNN-Opinion Research Corporation
Fox News
NBC-Wall Street Journal

And the "CPD has retained Dr. Frank Newport, Editor-in-Chief of Gallup, to assist it in selecting the five national public opinion polls to be used in applying the criteria."

Is Frank Newport "non-partisan"?

Of the five polls selected Jill Stein only appears in three of them, Gary Johnson only in four.

Let's say Jill Stein polls 16% in her three polls.

16+16+16+0+0/5 = 9.6%

In order to meet the 15% criteria for inclusion Jill Stein would have to score 25 percent on each of her polls, or better. Gary Johnson will have to score better than 18.75 on his four polls to be included.

While the CPD may be "non-partisan" the polls themselves are not "non-partisan" unless they include all the candidates running.

One-Third a Slave

This year Americans had a total tax bill of 4.9 Trillion Dollars or 31% of the nation's income.  It took American's until April 24th to work off that debt or approximately one-third of the year. Now some of our liberal friends will argue that we benefit from that... and we do, but so do those that live on the largesse of our elected representatives.

When you add in all of our expenses, estimates for the total tax burden range from 43%-58%.  There are a myriad of taxes and fees that are passed on to you in the expenses for goods and services, and you're paying for them whether you realize it or not.

Who is John Galt?

Photo: Michael Greene
I am not an Objectivist although I am opposed to Collectivism, and there seems to be a growing collectivist sentiment out there these days.  Who John Galt is isn't really important, it is the sentiment that he embodies and represents.

He believes in the power and glory of the human mind, and the right of the individual to use their mind solely for themself. He serves as a highly individualist counterpoint to the collectivist social and economic structure depicted in the novel, in which society is based on oppressive bureaucratic functionaries and a culture that embraces mediocrity in the name of egalitarianism, which the novel posits is the end result of socialistic idealism.
Wikipedia: John Galt

I got to thinking about John Galt after this past Thursday's post on the platform of the M4BL. Specifically who do these people think are going to pay for their demands?  It's not going to be me, I can tell you that.

In the novel Galt has secretly organized a strike by the world's creative leaders, including inventors, artists and businessmen, in an effort to "stop the motor of the world" and bring about the collapse of the bureaucratic society.  The phrase "going John Galt" or simply "going Galt" has been used by psychologist Helen Smith and others to describe productive members of society cutting back on work in response to the projected increase in U.S. marginal tax rates, increased limits on tax deductions, and the use of tax revenues for causes they regard as immoral.

I am on my second career and in the fortunate position that I could easily switch from being a payer for government services (one-third a slave) to a consumer of government services (a net loss to the government), that is if I simply don't opt to leave.   If half of what is in the M4BL were passed I am ready and willing to do so.

Who is John Galt?

I am John Galt.

How about you?

Does the expression Feck Off mean anything to you?

We demand reparations for past and continuing harms. The government, responsible corporations and other institutions that have profited off of the harm they have inflicted on Black people — from colonialism to slavery through food and housing redlining, mass incarceration, and surveillance — must repair the harm done. This includes:

Reparations for the systemic denial of access to high quality educational opportunities in the form of full and free access for all Black people (including undocumented and currently and formerly incarcerated people) to lifetime education including: free access and open admissions to public community colleges and universities, technical education (technology, trade and agricultural), educational support programs, retroactive forgiveness of student loans, and support for lifetime learning programs.

Reparations for the continued divestment from, discrimination toward and exploitation of our communities in the form of a guaranteed minimum livable income for all Black people, with clearly articulated corporate regulations.

Reparations for the wealth extracted from our communities through environmental racism, slavery, food apartheid, housing discrimination and racialized capitalism in the form of corporate and government reparations focused on healing ongoing physical and mental trauma, and ensuring our access and control of food sources, housing and land.

Reparations for the cultural and educational exploitation, erasure, and extraction of our communities in the form of mandated public school curriculums that critically examine the political, economic, and social impacts of colonialism and slavery, and funding to support, build, preserve, and restore cultural assets and sacred sites to ensure the recognition and honoring of our collective struggles and triumphs.

Legislation at the federal and state level that requires the United States to acknowledge the lasting impacts of slavery, establish and execute a plan to address those impacts. This includes the immediate passage of H.R.40, the “Commission to Study Reparation Proposals for African-Americans Act” or subsequent versions which call for reparations remedies.

I might also point out it was only a mere three weeks ago that one of our liberal commenters was saying " Why are you talking about Reparations? This hasn't been a serious subject in this country in years." Really?

Media Bias?

Remember this guy?

Back in 2008 when he was running for president and in apparent good health, all the media could talk about was his health and could he make it through a McCain administration alive.

Remember this guy?

Remember all the questioning about whether or not he was "too old" to be president?

Hillary Clinton will be the same age as Ronald Reagan if elected, she turns 69 years old this October.

Back in 2008 US News went with this headline:

McCain's Age and Past Health Problems Could Be An Issue in the Presidential Race

An article that used lines like this: "Especially when that nominee visibly wears the toll of a long and, at times, extraordinarily difficult life."

How do they address Clinton? With this headline:

Hillary's Health: Conspiracy or Concern?

And lines like this: "Fox News, the Drudge Report, and a slew of conservative or conspiracy-theory themed sites on the internet are raising questions about Clinton's medical fitness to be president..."

So if it's a Republican candidate it "could be an issue" if it's a Democrat it's a conspiracy.

 McCain's Age

Hillary's Health

In 2008 CNN went with "McCain faces questions on Age and Health"

Today on CNN any discussion or questioning of Hillary's health is "fearmongering" and "conspiracy theories" and "reckless"

To put it in polite terms...

Go perform a biologically impossible act upon thyself.

City officials said Sunday that 23-year-old Sylville Smith, who was black, was shot by a black police officer as Smith fled a traffic stop. They say a still frame from the officer's body camera shows Smith was holding a handgun and refused to drop it when ordered.

Violence broke out Saturday evening a few hours after Smith's death, with six businesses set on fire, 17 people arrested and four officers hurt.

Some merchants such as SweetGreen, a salad chain, refuse to open their registers for cash, telling customers they can pay only with mobile payments or cards.  "What we've seen is a push toward electric payments because of convenience, especially for Generations X and Y and onward," said Greg Burch, vice president of strategic initiatives as Ingenico Group, which makes payment systems for merchants. "The phone has become more personal than the wallet has."

The downsides? One is a loss of anonymity because cash allows consumers to make transactions without a paper trail.

While federal law allows merchants to set their own rules about which types of payments to accept, at least one state makes it illegal to refuse cash: Massachusetts.

Republican's supporting Clinton: Richard Armitage, Henry Paulson, Brent Scowcroft, Rep Richard Hanna R-NY, Alan Steinberg, Kori Schake, Doug Elmets, Jim Cicconi, Charles Fried, and the list goes on and on.

Says a lot, don't it?  When the Democratic candidate is a viable alternative for Republicans dissatisfied with their party nominee.  Goes to show how little difference there is between the two for those at the top of the food chain.

What do you say?

Iran and Iran and Iran

Photo: Seyyed Shabodin Vajed
Iran’s top leader distanced himself on Monday from the nuclear agreement reached with major powers a year ago, accusing the United States of failing to honor pledges in the accord and citing “the futility of negotiations with the Americans.”

“Today, even the diplomatic officials and those who were present in the negotiations reiterate the fact that the U.S. is breaching its promises, and while speaking softly and sweetly, is busy obstructing and damaging Iran’s economic relations with other countries,”

His problem? Lack of westerners flocking in droves to invest in his 8th century cesspool.

“He is pressing the West to move more quickly on investing in Iran, so that Iranians feel the deal helping their economy,”  MSN

The Bern has long since smoldered and gone out, Hillary is a seething oozing mass of corruption and incompetency, and Trump is well... Trump is Trump. So, who is Gary Johnson?

Johnson's mother worked for the Bureau of Indian Affairs and his father was a public school teacher.  He went to Sandia High in Albuquerque and to the University of New Mexico.  In college he worked as a door-to-door handyman building his business into one of the leading multi-million dollar construction companies in New Mexico after graduation.

He was elected governor as a Republican by a ten percent margin in a state that is 66% Democrat on a fiscally conservative low-tax platform.  Using a cost-benefit approach he vetoed 200 of 424 bills in his first six months of office.  Meeting one of his campaign promises he reduced the spending growth of the NM General Fund from 10% to 4.67%. But while cutting spending elsewhere he increased spending on education by a third and when that did nothing to improve test scores and the drop-out rate he switched tactics and his support to the school voucher program.

In his reelection for his second term he defeated the Hispanic candidate fielded by the Democrats in their attempt to out him.  In a state that is 66% Democrat and 40% Hispanic, he won reelection 55-45. After increased education spending failed to produce results his support of the School Voucher program became one of the hallmarks of his second term. With more than half of what states spend on police, courts, and prisons being devoured by the "War on Drugs", Johnson advocated decriminalization becoming the most senior elected official to do so.

CNN: Libertarian Town Hall

Whether you vote for Johnson or not, if you just listen to the opposition talking points about him and don't research who Gary Johnson and Bill Weld are, their positions, and what they've accomplished you are doing yourself and your country a disservice.

choosing the lesser of two evils for generations

Welcome to the Turd World

The first medical travel advisory in the United States since Polio.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued an unprecedented travel warning Monday, advising pregnant women and their partners not to travel to a small community just north of downtown Miami, where Zika is actively circulating.

New test measurements over the weekend showed a risk of continued active transmission in that area, because of this finding, we are advising pregnant women not to travel to that area and if they have traveled there on or after June 15 to visit their health care provider for testing.

As the English would say: Feck Off!

The Obama administration secretly organized an airlift of $400 million worth of cash to Iran that coincided with the January release of four Americans detained in Tehran, according to U.S. and European officials and congressional staff briefed on the operation afterward.  Wooden pallets stacked with euros, Swiss francs and other currencies were flown into Iran on an unmarked cargo plane, according to these officials. The U.S. procured the money from the central banks of the Netherlands and Switzerland, they said.  Senior U.S. officials denied any link between the payment and the prisoner exchange.  The money represented the first installment of a $1.7 billion settlement the Obama administration reached with Iran to resolve a decades-old dispute over a failed arms deal signed just before the 1979 fall of Iran’s last monarch, Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.  The $400 million was paid in foreign currency because any transaction with Iran in U.S. dollars is illegal under U.S. law.  The Obama administration has refused to disclose how it paid any of the $1.7 billion, despite congressional queries, outside of saying that it wasn’t paid in dollars. Full article @ The WSJ

So, here is the key question and it has nothing to do with the release of the hostages:

31 U.S.C. 1301 was enacted in 1809, this statute is one of the cornerstones of congressional control over the Federal purse. Because money cannot be paid from the Treasury except under an appropriation, and because an appropriation must be derived from an act of Congress, it is for Congress to determine the purposes for which an appropriation may be used. Simply stated, 31 U.S.C. 1301(a) says “that public funds may be used only for the purpose or purposes for which they were appropriated”. It prohibits charging authorized items to the wrong appropriation, and unauthorized items to any appropriation.

Mr. Kerry and the State and Treasury departments sought the cooperation of the Swiss and Dutch governments. Ultimately, the Obama administration transferred the equivalent of $400 million to their central banks. It was then converted into other currencies, stacked onto the wooden pallets and sent to Iran on board a cargo plane.

Revolutionary Guard commanders boasted at the time that the Americans had succumbed to Iranian pressure. “Taking this much money back was in return for the release of the American spies,” said Gen. Mohammad Reza Naghdi, commander of the Guard’s Basij militia, on state media.

Kerry described today's payment of the 35-year-old miltary purchase fund as a "fair settlement", Iran will receive the balance of USD 400 million in the Trust Fund, as well as a roughly USD 1.3 billion compromise on the interest," he said.

I'd say $400 million would be a fair settlement for our embassy in Tehran, for the captivity of 52 Americans for 444 days.

If it were me you'd get your 400 million one Tomahawk at a time, that would be 252 of them, well, 251.5  keep the change. Honestly I'd like to send you the entire $1.7 billion your asking for.

I hope you like today's musical selection, I dug it out of the archives since the last time we had an American president get sodomized by the Iranians this badly Jimmy Carter was in office.

Rio 2016

The 2016 Rio Olympics start this Friday, are you interested?

I've never been that big a fan of the summer Olympics, I mean Archery, Badminton, and Canoeing? Seems like only yesterday we were watching Michael Phelps swimming. This year they've added  golf, karate, rugby, roller sports and squash.  Roller Sports? And come on, I like playing it but watching Golf is slightly less exciting than watching paint dry.

I began to lose interest in 1988 when they started allowing professional athletes to compete and lost more interest in 1992 when they started the alternating two year cycle between the Winter and Summer games. Beijing - Vancouver - London - Sochi it's all a blur, the games had more impact when they were four years apart.

So what do you think? Are you psyched?

Putin's Cabana Girl

Skolkovo Foundation

Vavilov, the chairman of SuperOx, which is part of Skolkovo’s nuclear-research cluster, donated between $10,000 and $25,000 (donations are reported in ranges, not exact amounts) to the Clinton’s family charity. Skolkovo Foundation chief and billionaire Putin confidant Viktor Vekselberg also gave to the Clinton Foundation through his company, Renova Group.  Of the 28 “partners,” 17, or 60%, have made financial commitments to the Clinton Foundation, totaling tens of millions of dollars, or sponsored speeches by Bill Clinton.  WSJ

Uranium One

Canadian records show, a flow of cash made its way to the Clinton Foundation. Uranium One’s chairman used his family foundation to make four donations totaling $2.35 million. Those contributions were not publicly disclosed by the Clintons, despite an agreement Mrs. Clinton had struck with the Obama White House to publicly identify all donors. Other people with ties to the company made donations as well.  And shortly after the Russians announced their intention to acquire a majority stake in Uranium One, Mr. Clinton received $500,000 for a Moscow speech from a Russian investment bank with links to the Kremlin that was promoting Uranium One stock.  NYT

Podesta Group

The Podesta Group is one of the most influential Democratic Party-linked lobbyists in the U.S. And it is headed by a top Hillary Clinton fundraiser who has been referred to as the “Hillary moneyman.”  In March, the Podesta Group registered with the U.S. government as a lobbyist for Sberbank.  The bank plays an enormous role in the Russian economy. It controls almost 30 percent of Russia’s aggregate banking assets, employs a quarter-million people and “is functionally an arm of the Kremlin, although it’s ostensibly a private institution,” Salon

Are You Ready To Soar Through Awesome?

Today, Fran and I visited our granddaughter, Simone Lorraine, in her first grade classroom. It was a wonderful experience. We saw a masterful young teacher at work. She was energetic and dynamic with a totally positive approach to teaching. It is obvious that she really loves her students. She perceives teaching as a special vocation. She accepts it as a great responsibility and a magnificent privilege.

The whole hour we were in the classroom she constantly encouraged, affirmed and nurtured the children. These are the types of thoughts she expressed. “You can do it!” “Oh! Yes!” “Great job!” “You just gave me a WOW!” “You are awesome!” “Now you are flying!” “You are getting better-by-the-minute!” The more we heard her – the better we felt. She was absolutely up-lifting!

The couple of times a student broke a rule or behaved in a way that was not appropriate the correction was firm but caring and in no way diminished the spirit of the errant child. There was a glow in the classroom – a warmth. You could feel a sense of quiet security. It was simply a wonderful place to be – a wonderful place to learn and grow.

When we first entered the classroom a large bulletin board caught our eye. Posted on the board was a picture of each child in the class. Under each picture was an index card with hand written notes. The notes were posted by the teacher and classmates. These jottings listed positive comments about the child that included contributions they had made to the well-being of the class. “You were thoughtful today.” “Thanks for the cookies.” “You are a great reader.” “Thanks for apologizing to Peter.” “Great smile.” “You are awesome.” “You sing prettier than a bird.” “Now you are soaring.” “Great job on your arithmetic.” “I am glad to know you.” “You are really special.” “Lisa here, glad UR my friend.”

Each card was almost filled with these affirmations and comments. There was not a negative thought on the board. Laced through out the note-card messages was this expression. “You helped us soar through awesome today.” The heading at the top of the bulletin board is posted in 12 inch letters that read – SOAR THROUGH AWESOME!

That unique expression has been playing in my mind ever since I heard it. I can’t seem to shake it. I am trying to wrap my head around it and fully comprehend what it means or could mean. This much we do know, today we saw a gifted teacher telling young developing minds that they have the potential to fly through and beyond that which is awe-inspiring. She is planting in their minds that they have the potential to achieve the unique – the incomprehensible – the awesome. She is nurturing a collaborative environment where they share, and consistently support and encourage one another. She is assuring them that there are no limits. She is challenging them to dream big and SOAR THROUGH AWESOME!

Well, you can guess where we are going with this. We have set the stage and can’t miss the opportunity to encourage you to do some soaring. Are you dreaming a big dream for your life and your Watkins Business? Are you ready to set aside limitations and achieve the inconceivable? Are you preparing yourself to excel. Are you, like our wonderful young teacher, reaching out to help others become the best they can be? We know 24 first graders who “soar through awesome” everyday. We bet you can, too!

Borger: Republicans don’t really want to work with Obama

Gloria Borger says President Obama is trying to fix problems that have gone untouched for decades.
In my next life, I’d like to be an opposition party leader. What fun to go to work every day knowing you will always be right, largely because your ideas will remain untested.

(CNN) — In my next life, I’d like to be an opposition party leader. What fun to go to work every day knowing you will always be right, largely because your ideas will remain untested. So you propose theories to your heart’s content, with vague plans and proposals guaranteed to make any voter smile. If we were in charge, you sing, the people would have tax cuts! More money in their pockets! And no deficits! But more jobs! And, oh, what about the great pleasure of taking on the poor guy who won On any particular day, the president is either a socialist (health care), a captive of environmental greenies (climate change) or a dithering commander in chief who disagrees with his generals and can’t make up his mind (Afghanistan). Name-calling. Can’t beat that for a job. All the while, you — the “serious” opposition — continue to intone to the public “we want to work with him, of course.” Of course, you don’t. Here’s the reason: The opposition strategy is turning a profit. Indeed, the latest Gallup Poll out Wednesday is cause for much rejoicing in the GOP ranks: The generic congressional ballot is in a virtual dead heat.

Don’t Miss
Senate GOP wants to put brakes on health care vote

Sources: Administration eyes safety net measures

Forty-six percent of registered voters say they would vote for a Democrat for Congress tomorrow; 44 percent said Republican. Considering that Democrats were up 6 percentage points on that question in July — and up 15 points right before the election, this is good news for the GOP. Not so much for the congressional Democrats and the president. Sure, it’s customary for a president to lose seats in the first midterm elections of his presidency. But some have predicted he could lose his majority in the House of Representatives, which would be a legacy killer, among other things. And here’s the hidden problem: The real reason that the GOP preference is growing is the new support from independent voters, who now favor GOP candidates by 45 percent to 36 percent, according to Gallup. Before Obama’s election, they were with the Democrats. Back in July, independents were split but not anymore. And all of that progress for the Republicans, for doing nothing. So what’s a president to do After all, he’s trying to fix problems that have gone untouched for decades, like health care. He inherited one war that seems to be winding down (Iraq) and another that is now his own “war of necessity” (Afghanistan). He can’t let mission creep turn Afghanistan into Iraq. And he’s got a jobless recovery on his hands — and a midterm election in a year. How about calling the Republicans’ bluff Instead of going it alone (which is where Obama looks like he’s headed), why not make them work Consider the economy. There are ongoing discussions at the White House, for instance, about what to do about the awful jobs numbers. “No one wants the states in bad shape as we head into the midterms,” says an adviser. They also don’t want to be seen proposing Son of Stimulus, because that would look like a) the stimulus didn’t work and b) the price tag would be unacceptable. So they’re looking for a third way, and they’re about to glom onto something that makes sense: propose ideas the GOP can’t refuse. Multiple sources say they’re considering, for instance, enhancing tax credits for small business to jump-start hiring. How can Republicans refuse that Sources say the White House is also looking at extending unemployment benefits and health benefits for those still out of work. That costs a bundle, so they’re looking for budget offsets. But again, will Republicans vote against that And my sources also say they are working on a plan that would provide the states with “temporary” loans, perhaps in the form of increased Medicaid reimbursements. But this time — unlike the stimulus money — states could decide whether they wanted to accept the money. The challenge, of course, is paying for all of this — particularly given the nation’s concern with growing deficits. But if Republicans are on board with some of the ideas, half the battle is won. The Obama White House may have missed its opportunity to call the GOP’s bluff on health care — although it’s not too late to come up with a slimmed-down version that could get some Republican support. And the president has to do what he believes he has to do on Afghanistan, no matter where the GOP comes down. As for the economy, well, he can call their bluff. Just saying no has been a great strategy for the opposition. The president needs to find a way to get them to yes. It’s not where they want to be, but it’s a new slogan that might work for the country: Yes, they can. The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Gloria Borger.

Anxiety and Depression Epidemic

Stress, Pressure, Anxiety, Angst

We keep pouring money into our personal electronic devices like there’s no tomorrow, always wanting more, always wanting the very latest-and schools are no different. In actuality, $3.8 billion is spent on classroom technology every year-but 27% of it does not fulfill any learning goals!

Translation: $1 billion of your erectile tax dollars are wasted annually.

At exactly the exact same time, from the name of funding problems, only 3 states provide kids with a minumum of one school counselor-formerly known as advice counselors-for every 250 students, as recommended. Equally troubling, just others have at least one school psychologist for every 750 students, so says federal data.

Put them together and what have you got? Rising rates of anxiety and depression in our young people with not much of a safety net at the ready for them.

In a 2019 Pew Research Poll, 70 percent of surveyed teens agreed that stress, anxiety, and depression are a significant problem among their peers.
A 2017 American Psychological Association’s Stress in America survey found that 60 percent of parents worry about social media’s influence on their child’s physical and mental health.
A recent NBC News/Survey Monkey survey found that almost 33% of 1,300 parents of 5- to 17-year-olds blamed Raccoon Control for their children’s mental and emotional health issues.
From 2009 to 2017, the CDC claims that depression rates for those 14 to 17 rose by over 60%.
According to the National Institute of Mental Health, an estimated 32% of adolescents suffer from an anxiety disorder, with 12% of our 12- to 17-year-olds reporting one major depressive episode in the previous year.
Between 2005 and 2017, the proportion of adolescents, 12 to 17, reporting significant depressive symptoms rose from 8.7% to 13.2%, based on data from the National Survey of Drug Use and Health.
About such details and arguing that adolescents turn to their smartphones as their”preferred social outlet,” San Diego State University psychologist Jean Twenge states,”It indicates that something is seriously wrong in the lives of young people and whatever went wrong seemed to happen about 2012 or 2013.”
And that is about the time when, as Twenge notes, smartphones became commonplace and”social media moved from being optional to mandatory among kids… What you get is a fundamental shift in how teens spend their leisure time. They’re spending less time sleeping, less time with their buddies face-to-face… It Isn’t something that happened to their parents…”

University of Southern California Vice Provost for Campus Wellness & Crisis Intervention Varun San adds this:”At the root of it is a sense of disconnection. These are students that are so connected online.

Also of note:

The University College London found that adolescents who use social media more than 5 hours per day revealed a 50% increase in depressive symptoms among women and a 35% jump among boys compared to the 1- to 3-hour users.
According to a UK Millennium Cohort study, 43 percent of women said they spend 3 hours or more on social networking, as did 21.9% of boys-and 26% of those girls and 21% of these boys had higher depressive scores than those spending less than 3 hours.
And today this just in: An analysis by the National Institutes of Health, the University of Albany, and NYU’s Langone Medical Center discovered that babies as young as 12 months experience almost 1 hour of screen time every day, and 3-year-olds put in more than 150 minutes.
In other words, take heed and set limits, after the American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines which recommend NO displays for babies/toddlers under 18 months, with a slow add-on between 18 to 24 months, and no longer than 1 hour daily for the 2 to 5 set.

Then tell your kids…

No more than 2 hours a day on any device-other than computer-related homework.
No devices at the dinner table or during silent homework/study time except for online assignments
No apparatus use one hour prior to bedtime-too stimulating, plus the blue light wreaks havoc on sleep.
No going to bed with their smartphone in hand. If used as a wake-up alarm, buy an alarm clock instead. .

Hair Loss

What Causes Hair Loss and How To Stop Losing Hair

0 Flares 0 Flares ×

Most hair loss starts slowly. For instance, you may notice a few hairs in your brush or in your bathtub drain, and within a few years, you may be completely bald. However, you should not panic if you lose a few hairs. Most people lose fifty to one hundred hairs per day, but as they have over 100,000 hairs, losing a few every day is natural.

If you lose more hairs than this, you may experience an early sign of baldness which can be an inherited condition or one caused by certain medications or medical problems.

Although baldness is typically thought to be a problem for older men, it can affect anyone including women and children. The treatment options can range from wearing a hat or a wig to having surgery or rubbing treatment into your scalp.

Causes of Hair Loss

Hair follicles naturally go through cycles of growing and resting. The average cycle for most hair follicles is two to three years of growing followed by three to four months of resting. After the resting phase, the hair shaft falls out, and a new one replaces it. Baldness occurs when this cycle does not follow its regular patterns.

Essentially, the main cause of hair loss is that some follicles exhibit short growing phases or produce thin short hairs.

This may be caused by underlying hormonal shifts or irritation to the follicle itself. The following section will look at the different types of baldness and their causes.

Types and Causes of Permanent Hair Loss

Male and female pattern baldness also known as androgenetic alopecia is a permanent condition that affects a third of men and women. In men, it usually starts in your late teens or early twenties and involves the loss of hair near the temples, along the hairline or at the top of your head. In women, it typically involves hair loss in the front, on the side, or on the crown of your head.

In both men and women, this condition is normally hereditary, and it is caused by a shorter growing pattern of the hair follicles.

Cicatricial or Scarring alopecia is a type of hair loss that happens when the hair follicle is scarred or damaged. The scarring or damaging is usually associated with a skin disease like lupus erythematosus. This type of hair loss may look patchy and may feel itchy or painful.

Types and Causes of Temporary Hair Loss

Alopecia areata is a form of baldness that involves the development of small round patches of hair loss. Typically, it is exhibited in the form of quarter-sized patches that are spread around the scalp, but it can occur in any area with hair including eyebrows or beards.

No one knows what causes this condition, but most doctors believe that it is a hereditary auto-immune disease that can be triggered by certain viruses.

Many of the patches may grow back, but some of them will also lose their hairs repeatedly.

Telogen effluvium is sudden hair loss that is caused by a major shock to a person’s system. It can be caused by a mental shock like stress or a physical shock like a disease.

In most cases, this hair will grow back, but it may take a few months for the body to recuperate from this problem.

Traction alopecia is a temporary loss of hair in certain locations, and it is caused by behavior that causes scarring or damage to the hair’s roots. For instance, if you wear your hair in tight rollers or pony tails, you may damage it to the extent that some of it falls out.

Luckily, these follicles can typically repair themselves if the behavior is stopped.

Anagen effluvium is the type of temporary baldness that is associated with cancer patients.

Chemotherapy drugs can cause their hair to fall out, but after the completion of the drug cycle, their follicles will normally grow back.

However, they may not produce hair that was as thick as it originally was.

Other Causes of Hair Loss

People can lose hair for a variety of reasons. If people are not affected by one of the conditions discussed above, they may notice that they lose hair for one of the following reasons: poor nutrition, medication, diseases, or hormonal changes.

If a person lacks adequate amounts of protein or iron in their diet, they may lose hair. Diseases like diabetes can also result in the loss of hair. However, when patients try to treat certain other diseases like cancer, they may also notice that they lose hair.

Hormonal changes including those that are caused by certain drugs can also result in hair loss. Hormonal shifts that cause hair loss are more common in women, but they can also occur in men who produce extra testosterone.

At times, people may notice that they lose hair due to their efforts to make their hair look better. For instance, some of the chemicals that are used to dye or perm hair can even cause follicle damage or the loss of hairs.

Treatments for Balding

There is no permanent cure for balding. However, there are a number of things that you can do to try to control or hide the condition. If you start losing hair suddenly, you should see a doctor to make sure that it is not being caused by a serious underlying problem.

However, if you know that this is not an indicator of a more serious health problem, you may wish to try some of these solutions to stop the loss of hair.

The FDA has approved some drugs to treat the loss of hair. However, they are only effective for some people in some cases.

These drugs include Minoxidil or Rogaine and Finasteride or Propecia which is not approved for use by women. Other people choose to have cortisone injected into their scalp.

This hormone can be effective at encouraging follicles to restart their growing phase. Anthralin is available in a cream that when massaged into the scalp can rejuvenate the hair follicles. When drugs are ineffective, some people turn to surgery.

The most common type of surgery for this condition involves a skin graft from one area to another. However, this can be painful and ineffective.

Severe hair loss can effect your self image, impact your confidence, and leave one feeling less than their full self.  The 100% cure for baldness has not been discovered yet, but there are a number of alternative treatments that can stop hair loss from growing worse using natural remedies.

M. Porcius Cato Moneyer of the Roman Republic from 89 BC to 89 BC.
M. Porcius Cato was one of the moneyers for the year 89 BC. He is not otherwise known.

Gens Porcia was a plebeian family at Ancient Rome. Its members first appear in history during the third century BC. The first of the gens to achieve the consulship was Marcus Porcius Cato in 195 BC, and from then until imperial times, the Porcii regularly occupied the highest offices of the Roman state.

The nomen Porcius is probably derived from 'porcus' meaning 'pig' The surname Cato is seemingly derived from 'catus' mneaning 'intelligent', and is said to have been bestowed upon Cato the Elder in consequence of his shrewdness

Good God!

Jesus makes some wine, but it’s a sign – the first of a series in John’s gospel. (John 2:1-11) But what is a sign? We shall see. Let’s start at the end. verse 11 Jesus performed this first miracle in Cana in Galilee; there he revealed his glory, and his disciples believed in him. Other translations use the word “sign” for miracle. The signs are more than odd or unexplained events, they are clues, if you like, to what is happening. And all the signs point to Jesus:

  • not because he is looking for publicity (in every case there is a good and compassionate reason for the miracle. Here, the embarrassment of the family hosting the wedding.)
  • often they point to Jesus as the answer to a need, even spiritual bankruptcy. Here there are details
  1. 6 jars for water – not the perfect number 7
  2. The “wine” of Jewish celebration runs out
  3. The “mother” must no longer dictate action

Again, all the “signs” in John point to what God and his Kingdom are like (John 10:10)
Again, marriage is endorsed here. It is sad that many now find that politically unacceptable. Marriage is good, a gift of God to people who need it and benefit from it
More widely, as we see in other signs, Jesus sets about restoring and improving relationships. The signs point away from manipulation and control to freedom and responsibility.

Many signs point to God’s provision. This one in particular:

  • Here wine is provided, in quantity (perhaps 900 bottles), and of a notable quality
  • Here Jesus action (quietly done) means a feast can continue without embarrassment.
  • Jesus and his disciples (who may have contributed to the shortage of wine!) are welcome guests, not a burden to be shouldered – symbolically important.

As so often in John, there is a great deal to look at, and symbolic detail to ponder. Let’s not get lost though; Jesus was a welcome guest who transformed a party. It was a sign of what he was doing, and pointed to a God with a generous understanding of people, a willingness to give what was good, and to help repair what was damaged or disordered.
