Apparently… It’s All Relative

“Shhh! Your dad is upstairs sleeping. He has one of his really bad headaches again.” My mom would inform my sister and me in an attempt to keep us from disturbing our poor father while he tried to recover from the excruciating pain that occasionally plagued him.

All I knew about his headaches were that they were referred to as “cluster headaches” and they made the whole side of his head and face hurt. He couldn’t even brush his hair without extreme pain.

“You girls leave your mother alone. She came home with another migraine today.” My dad would warn us while my mother rested, writhed in pain or ran to bathroom to throw up again. And we would eat takeout for dinner if she hadn’t already suffered through cooking our meal BEFORE addressing her own needs and collapsing on the bed.

What I knew about her headaches were that they were called “migraines” and they typically made her lose her vision along with whatever she ate that day. Oh yeah… and I decided that between her and my father… adulthood pretty much sucked.

Fast forward to my junior year in high school. I vividly remember sitting in art class and reading a text book. I’m not sure why I wasn’t painting or drawing at the time but that is irrelevent here. As I looked at the grey lines of copy on the page I noticed that entire sections of the page began to disappear into what can only be described as bright, white blind spots. I felt funny and asked to be excused.

Sitting in the office while the secretary called my dad to come and get me — a terrible pain I had never felt before began gripping my forehead like a vise. On the ride home with him, the nausea came. He had to pull over just four houses down from ours as my lunch began to resurface. It was then that I remembered the horrible migraine headaches that my mother and grandmother (as I would later learn) got with some regularity. And it was then that I learned how privileged I too was to be a member of that genetic club. Thank you, mom and grandma… I love you too.

I have since learned to manage the migraines that fortunately only come around two to four times a year. I have a prescription, know some of the “triggers” and warning signs and have thus learned how to keep from losing my lunch or an entire day. I count myself lucky that I am not one of those chronic sufferers who get several in one week.

Fast forward AGAIN to four days ago. While managing an estate sale at Lee’s childhood home I began to feel a burning ache in my inner ear and several “ice pick” stabs to the back of my neck and head. I took my migraine medicine figuring it couldn’t hurt and waited for it to work. And I waited. And I waited some more. Nothing. The untouchable discomfort soon spread to the entire right side of my head and face and by dinner time I had trouble chewing because my jaw and teeth ached as well. And I couldn’t brush my hair without wincing. Thank you, dad.

Four days later of ice packs, towels wrapped tightly around my skull and “chill pills” to help me sleep… the headache (though vastly better) is still with me. Apparently, unlike it’s lesser-of-a-pain-in-the-ass cousin, the migraine… these “clusters” can last for several days. Severe episodes are often treated with visits to the ER and injections of steroids, strong pain killers and other drugs to help the sufferer through. OTC pain medications do NOT work and you wanna know the best part — they don’t KNOW what causes them other than GENETICS! Ha!

So, as much as I love and adore my amazing parents for ALL that they have done and continue to do for me and for EACH of the selfless sacrifices they have made in the name of love… I would also like to say a hearty thank you for the great genes too! I know you had nothing to do with it, really. But if I’d had the choice… I would have much rather inherited my mom’s knack for baking chocolately goodness from scratch… and my dad’s green thumb.

    You poor thing! My wife suffers Chronic Migraines but not the clusters. I am sure if your parents had known any way to avoid passing this on they would have done it in a heartbeat! I don’t typically get headaches and have probably never had a migraine based on the suffering I see my wife go through, still I can empathize with you not that does a darn bit of good 😦

    • Thanks JT. Yeah, they are not fun. I thought the migraines were the worst but I think if I hada choice, I’d choose them over the clusters now that I’ve experienced them. Tell your wife I feel her pain 🙂 Hopefully she doesn’t suffer often!

    • Hello Mother… I see I must still be logged onto your computer so your comment came up as me instead. That’s OK. I know it’s you. Hopefully Jennifer will never get the other headaches. Since she is older maybe she is out of the woods. Though I read that onset of clusters is between the ages of 25 and 50. UGH 😛

  2. Glad you’re getting better now! I can’t even imagine having migraines or those horrible cluster things. Hope you continue to improve and that these episodes are few and far between.

    • Thank you Paige 🙂 And thanks for your kind words on my last entry. I am just now able to respond to comments a bit. It is a miracle if I even POST anything these days… let alone read and comment and reply. I know it’s wrong but it’s the best I can do for now. Hope to be back soon! Hope all is well with you too!! 😉

      • Post? What’s a post? I know how you feel. I’ve been battling whatever is wrong with me — we’re thinking B-12 deficiency today; tomorrow it could be something else — so my posts have been nonexistent lately. No motivation or energy. I hope to be back soon as well. But I’m trying not to beat myself up over it. You can only handle so many things at one time and you have to give yourself permission to let go of certain things, even if they’re just temporary. I don’t gauge your strength of character on whether or not you publish a post every day (although I did look forward to those daily posts), but you’ll be back when you’re ready. I have no doubt. I know for me, I miss that feeling of writing a perfect sentence! That’s a great feeling!!!

  3. I hate to hear that anyone has those horrible things. I have what I think are migraines about twice a year. I used to use liquid benadryl until that gave me hallucinations. Trust me I will never ever take that again. Spiders (big ones) hanging from the ceiling fan.Once there was a black pipe (as in plumbing) that was standing beside my bed but it was evil. Yes I wrote that out loud. You read it. So now when I feel a headache getting that I grab ice packs and take tylenol which basically does nothing. How awful it would have been to have lived before there were medicines and ice.

  4. Donald Miller says:

    I didn’t know Marilyn Manson was also a migraine sufferer, although I should have suspected as much. That’s him in the picture, right? o.O

    I get migraines but I’m very fortunate that there isn’t any pain involved. Only flashes and flickering and all of that.

    Ya just feel kind of helpless when a friend is suffering. I guess about the only remedy I can think of is for you to get yourself a real big guy named Lee and have him hold you while you watch a good comedy. (Should be great for lowering the blood pressure.) That and a Valium is about all I can think of. Hope you get feeling better soon.

    • Donald Miller says:

      OR, as an “alternate strategy, you could grab a big guy named Lee and a little cat named Stanley and go to Mardi Gras!! Heh-heh. Mardi Gras (just kidding of course, unless it is M G season, would be my first choice of where to go for migraine relief. Ha!!

      Anyway. I hope you had a great time!

  5. Donald Miller says:

    In theory my previous suggestion would help. In practice, even though it sounds like you already know a lot about the conditions, in case you missed any information that might be useful, here’s the link to some links at the Mayo Clinic. It’s the first site I go to when I want to look something up.

    I decided I ought to find out more about my own condition, so I went there. I also copied the relevant links. (It was a snap.)

  6. Donald Miller says:

    Hi Joanna,

    I hope you are feeling better. From time to time, I make excursions through a few blogs on WP, hoping to find some personalities I can connect with. I hit it off with you and the Cowboy (even though he and I have nothing in common except that we like each other.) I also like JT.

    But your blog is unique in it’s genuiness. People are usually trying to sell me on an idea–most often religious ones. It’s so off-putting. I have no idea how to respond to someone who’s trying to tell me something I already know–and probably a lot better than them. I think I can write an okay essay, but I don’t have the “touch” for writing a personal narrative on something anymore than most other people do.

    So, bottom line. Thanks for writing the well-constructed well-written personable essays, and I hope you aren’t too long in writing your next one. I was surprised by how many people visit your site– shocked was really the right term. I naively look at the comments and think that’s how many people are going to a site.

  7. You’re not alone – I have cluster headaches and am in the middle of a cycle right now…I just blogged about mine a few days ago. I don’t know who I inherited mine from…I just hope my kids don’t get them when they get older. They suck!

    • I’m so sorry to hear about your headaches. And although at times I feel your pain… I do hope your latest episode has gone away. Thank you for stopping by and sharing your thoughts with me. I hope you don’t get them often.

Interview with First Signs of Frost

First Signs of Frost Header

2017 sees the welcome return of First Signs of Frost, back with a revamped lineup and sound. If you’re into a bit of melodic technical rock and haven’t yet checked out their new EP The Shape of Things to Come, then I point you in the direction of the embedded Bandcamp player at the bottom of this interview.

So, without further preamble, let’s get down to it…

Introduce us to First Signs of Frost

We’re a tech rock 5-piece from London. Originally formed in 2004, disbanded in 2010 and resurrected in 2015. Members include: Daniel Lawerence (vocals), Owen Hughes-Holland (guitar / backing vox), Adam Mason (guitar), Andy C Saxton (bass) & Alex Harford (drums).

What are your influences?

We draw influences from everything really, anything from Deftones, Tool & Sikth through to Tears For Fears, Soundgarden & Dave Matthews Band.

Name five things you’ve listened to recently that you’d recommend

Really been feeling our label buddies ‘Sleep Token’, great dynamic ambient metal. ‘Fickle Friends’, awesome Brighton alt-pop. ‘Dillinger Escape Plan’ & ‘John Mayers’ latest albums. Also ‘Regina Spektors’ new release.

Tell us about The Shape of Things to Come

The EP is our first release in 7 years, after being on hiatus since the departure of singer Daniel Tompkins in 2009. TSOTTC showcases our new frontman Daniel Lawrence (ex-Kenai, The Younger), bassist Andy C Saxton (ex-Cry For Silence) & drummer Alex Harford. The songs themselves each have their own personality, meaning and tone. We wanted to create something dynamic and melodic, yet raw and honest. The title (also lyric from the track ‘White Flag’) aptly sums up the new direction in which we’re heading.

First Signs of Frost Band

How does this new EP differ in style to your earlier work, and what prompted this new direction?

I feel it represents how the writing has matured. We always intended on going down a more groove based route after ‘Atlantic’ as it were. I don’t feel that TSOTTC is a million miles from our previous release, however it definitely is a new and exciting direction none the less, especially with the current line-up.

How were the songs written?

I’ve always been the main writer for the band. So this time around I wrote 90% of the EP, music & lyrics/melodies. Our bassist Andy C Saxton embellished on the bass lines and put his stamp on the tracks. Also singer Daniel Lawrence brought ideas to the table when tracking the vocals.

What’s your favourite song on the album and why?

Probably ‘Look Alive Sunshine’ it’s the most honest track on the EP, I think I wrote it within a week. It’s raw emotion throughout.

How do you think your music will progress in the future?

We’re always evolving as a band, each release has its own feel and character. We’re now half way through our next record & already it has a unique sound to it, still heavy elements but possibly more dynamic in places.

How did you choose the cover artwork?

We had a good friend create a lightbox out of our logo that I designed. We wanted to keep it simple and bold, similar to ‘Atlantic’. I went out and shot the lightbox in a local forest and that became the main basis for the artwork.

First Signs of Frost

What have the initial reactions to The Shape of Things to Come been like?

They’ve been fantastic on the whole, we’ve gained new fans, and all our old fans have really embraced the new direction & line up. We’re very grateful for all the support and kind words.

What’s it like working with Basick Records?

Everyone at the label has been so accommodating and enthused about the EP. It’s also great to be on a label that knows our history and who believed in us from day one! We’re honoured to be working with such a awesome group of people.

Do you have any upcoming live dates you want to talk about?

We’re currently in rehearsal stages, however looking to start live shows in October to promote the release. Keep an eye on the socials for updates.

What are you up to for the rest of the year?

We’re working on our follow up to TSOTTC, shooting music videos and preparing for live shows.

Any final words?

Be sure to grab your copy of the EP! Pre-orders available here.

Your Very Own Permissions Dashboard

For SharePoint 2007:

Using a web service and a little magic, it’s possible to create your own data view web part “dashboard” to quickly get to permissions and other screens for all of the lists and libraries on your SharePoint site.  Here’s an example of what the goal is:

The first column is the title of each list and library on the site, linking directly to each list or library.  The Inherited Security column does two things.  First of all, it displays an icon to indicate whether that list inherits permissions from the site level or not.  Secondly, each of these icons is a link directly to the permissions page for that specific list or library!  The third column is a bonus.  For the lists that have their own separate permissions, there is a link to directly add a new user to have permissions on that list.

Okay, okay, I’ll tell you how!

This post is really an expansion on a previous post of mine, called I Love the SiteData.asmx Web Service.  First step: Go to that post and go all the way through step 14.  We’ll pick up from there…

This is what you have so far.  It’s a list of all the lists and libraries on the site, with the inherited security and internal name.

  • Now, the title of the library needs to be a link to the library itself.  Click to select the title of the first document library.  Click the little chevron next to it.
  • In the Format As field, select Hyperlink.  Click Yes at the prompt.
  • Clear the Address field, and click the Function box next to it.  Chose the DefaultViewURL field.  Clear the Text To Display box, and choose the Title field for that one.   Click OK.
  • For the icons in the inherited security column, you’ll need two pretty little icons of your choosing, to indicate Yes or No.  If you have MOSS, the icons in this example are already right there on the server, and are called /_layouts/images/ewr212l.gif and /_layouts/images/ewr213l.gif.  Anyway, for the next step, put your cursor inside one of the cells in the Inherited Security column, and insert BOTH of these images, right next to each other.
  • Click the Data View menu at the top of the screen and choose <Conditional Formatting>.  Then the conditional formatting pane will be displayed on the right side of the screen.
  • Let’s create the hyperlink on each icon before we set the conditional formatting.

The fun part!  The first question is, where the heck does the URL come from, to get straight to a library’s permissions page?  Go to one of your libraries, and click to get to the settings page, and then click on “Permissions for this list”.  Go to the browser’s address bar, and select that entire URL, copy it to your clipboard, and paste in notepad.  It’s time to dissect it to see how it works.  Here’s what my URL looks like:,list&List=%7B458828DD%2D7951%2D4FB6%2DA151%2D4CF8B36D863A%7D

What the heck is all that? Calm down, it’s okay, it’s just the GUID.  Yeah, if you scroll up and look at that Internal Name column, this stuff actually matches up.  (Here is where you can see how they match up) The part that I put in red in this URL is the GUID.  It’s actually the same exact GUID twice in there.  To make it manageable for what we’re going to do, I’m going to replace those GUIDs with asterisks for now.*,list&List=*

  • Copy your string above (your own, not mine) to your clipboard (the second one with the asterisks).  Click to select the green icon.  Click the <Insert> menu, and choose Hyperlink.  In the Address box, paste from your clipboard.
  • Select the first asterisk.  Click the little function button to the right of the address box.  Select the InternalName field and click OK.  Select the other asterisk, and do the same thing.  This is what it’ll look like at this point:

image (that’s the magic part) 😉

  • Click OK. Click to select the red icon, and create the exact same hyperlink on it.  Both icons are going to link to the exact same thing, but only one icon will be displayed at a time, because of conditional formatting.
  • Click to select the green icon.  On the conditional formatting pane, click the <Create> button, and choose <Show Content>.  For the condition, choose Field Name InheritedSecurity Equals true.
  • Click to select the red icon.  On the conditional formatting pane, click the <Create> button, and choose <Show Content>.  For the condition, choose Field Name InheritedSecurity Equals false.  Now the appropriate icon is displayed according to the inherited security of each of the lists.

So, do you see the pattern here? Once you know how to go to the properties page, and grab the URL of ANY properties page, you can add a column for that property, such as Title and Description, and dissect the URL, and use the InternalName to replace the GUID in the URL.  Create an entire dashboard with a column to get to any settings page for your lists!  You can remove that internal name column, it was just for you to see the data, for educational purposes.

So, for the third column in my original screenshot at the top, I simply clicked the permissions page on a list, and clicked to add a new user.  Then, I snagged that URL and dissected it.  Then, I used conditional formatting to only show that link if InheritedSecurity = false.

You all enjoy this one, and please let me know if you like it!

Oh, and here’s how to re-use this DVWP on other sites: From the browser, export the web part just as a file on your desktop.  Open the file in notepad, and simply find and replace your site’s URL with the new site you want to put this web part on.

  • Awesome. Thanks Laura!

  • Laura, this is a great post…Thanks for sharing!

    Laura, I love this functionality, thank you. Do you have any ideas of how to extend this so that it can show item level permissions? We run into trouble at my company where people are breaking inheritance to items without really understanding what they are doing — it’s really hard to reconstruct what they’ve done!

  • hrussell, I’m not sure about item level, but I know that DeliverPoint is a great 3rd party product you can buy, to achieve that:

  • This tool works great for list. Can you do this to show sites and subsites for the site collection?

  • Shellie,
    I don’t know, you’d just have to test other web services and see if any of them will do that. I couldn’t ever find one that would. This web service only shows lists.

  • Hello,

    Couldn’t find first 14 steps as mentioned:
    a. This post is really an expansion on a previous post of mine, called I Love the SiteData.asmx Web Service. First step: Go to that post and go all the way through step 14. We’ll pick up from there…

    Second question, have you ever posted on a web part to show User to security Usergroup relation? Would like to use this concept with spin on requirements.

    Example: Site could have 500+ Security Groups and the webpart shows which one(s) a specific user is in. Or have a complete read only list for general public.

    Don’t Use Twitter:

  • Scott,
    I just fixed the hyperlink to go to the correct post. Keep in mind that these two posts were written for SharePoint 2007. As for the groups thing, I wrote a post that uses that web service, which you can also use to create a web part that shows the current user what groups they’re in. Permissions Web Part: List of Site Owners

The only way to find out if modifications work is to take the boat out, so we did just that.

In almost total calm we motored from Paynesville across Lake King to the silt jetties that form the mouth of the Mitchell River. Turning north, we followed the channel markers towards the mouth of the Nicholson River with large numbers of pelicans, little black cormorants and pied cormorants along the eastern shoreline.

Taking advantage of a southerly breeze, we raised the sails and ran west south west parallel to the silt jetties in Jones Bay, which has ample depth of water for the centreboard, until we came to the breach in the north side of the silt jetties called The Cut.

After watching locals run aground and plough their way through with outboards, we found The Cut was rowable, with just enough water to keep us afloat as we worked our way around the stranded snags.

Turning back towards the east, we motored down the river. The birds of the river included wood duck, egrets, swans and a sacred kingfisher and on the bank was an echidna that was so large that it was mistaken for a wombat.

Once out of the river mouth, a modest southerly wind let us sail back to Paynesville, making the round trip about 30km. Worth doing again? Definitely.

To top off the day, the higher mast, the new boom and the sprit boom on the mizzen sail worked well.

Video: 60 Years in a Cave!

In Issue24, WoodTECH by FIEALeave a Comment

Sixty years ago, on 26 February 1960, the Brunson Instrument Company went underground. Literally.

The move to a cave location became necessary when Brunson started adapting surveying equipment for the tight tolerances of the jet age on behalf of what would become one of our biggest customers, the Boeing Airplane Company. The year was 1948, and Brunson’s downtown factory just couldn’t cut it… so founder A. N. Brunson had an idea – move it underground!

Since the idea of an underground facility gave local banks the jitters, A.N. Brunson had to go it alone. Throughout the 1950s, as Brunson blasted and excavated more than 140,000 tons of limestone, he was mocked by the local business community for envisioning his unique underground factory. He would have the last laugh, however.

“We were ‘green’ before anyone knew what ‘green’ was,” said third-generation company president Deighton Brunson. The un-treated underground temperature is typically steady at 60 degrees Fahrenheit. “In our cave we have the equivalent floor space of a 10-story office building, but we can heat and cool it with a fraction of the energy used for an above-ground structure.”

Adding Table Columns to Columns with Merged Cells

by Allen Wyatt
(last updated April 14, 2020)

Patrick has a table in which the top cells of two adjacent columns are merged. Word dutifully adds a column if he positions the insertion point within a cell of the first of the adjacent columns (but not in the merged cells) and then inserts a column to the right of the insertion point. Unfortunately, Word also adds a blank cell at the right of the merged cells.

This behavior is normal for Word. Let's say that your table consists of three columns, which we'll call A, B, and C. If you merge the first row's cells in columns A and B, you now have two cells (one large and one small) in the first row and three cells in each of the other rows. Position the insertion point into a column A cell that is not the first, merged row and insert a column to the right and you discover that Word adds a new column B and pushes the other columns (old B and old C) to the right. This means that Word has to add a cell to the right of the merged cells (in new column C), else the first row would be incorrect. What you end up with after the insertion is a first row with three cells (one large and two small) and the other rows with four cells—just as you should.

The supposed problem comes in when your table has all the cells in the first row merged. For instance, you may have a table that has two columns and the two cells in the first row are merged into a single cell. When you insert a column to the right of the first column, Word also adds a cell to the right of the first, merged cell. What you might expect, however, is that Word would insert the column without affecting the merged cell, such that the single merged cell would now span three columns instead of the old two.

There is no way to do this when doing a simple column insert. There are a couple of things you can try, however. One method is to split the merged cells in the top row, insert the desired column, and then merge the three cells into one.

You could also go ahead and insert the columns as already described. Then select the old merged cell and the new added cell in the first row and merge them again.

Another method is to separate the merged row from the rest of the table by splitting the table. You can then insert the columns as desired and recombine the previously split tables. Of course, you will then need to expand the width of your merged cell so that it fully covers the three columns below it.

Finally, you can insert cells instead of inserting columns. Assuming that your two-column table has ten rows, follow these steps:

  1. Select the cells in the second column that are in rows two through ten. (You aren't selecting the merged cells in the top row at all.)
  2. Display the Layout tab of the ribbon.
  3. Click the small icon at the bottom-right corner of the Rows & Columns group. Word displays the Insert Cells dialog box. (See Figure 1.)
  4. Figure 1. The Insert Cells dialog box.

  5. Make sure the Shift Cells Right option button is selected.
  6. Click OK.

Word shifts the selected cells to the right and inserts blank cells. The top row remains unchanged, with the merged cells still spanning the first and second columns. If you want the merged cells to span all three columns, you'll need to drag the cell border so it is the desired width.

Advance Care Planning

None of us know what tomorrow will bring, or can predict what might become of our health. But there is a way to ensure you have a say in health-care decisions that lie ahead, should there come a time when you are unable to speak for yourself.

It's called advance care planning.

Advance care planning is a way to help you think about, talk about and share your thoughts and wishes about future health care. It gives you a "voice" in decision making, helps you determine who would communicate for you if you are unable to communicate for yourself and should include conversations with your health-care team.

Everyone should have a say in their health care. Plan ahead today to ensure that your wishes are known, no matter what the future holds for your family and your health.

Advance Care Planning Workbook

A guide to advance care planning, with thought-provoking questions to answer, and important details about various health-care treatments, as well as tips on developing and sharing your advance care plan.

Patriation of Consitution of Canada

The experts of the makeup strike to patriation as the touch on where by the forcefulness to mitigate or careen the genius of Canada would be travel or transferred from the united land s sluices to Canada. As stipulated at confederation, the origin of resorting the composing propel, 1867, rest all in all in the workforce of the collar antithetic legislative bodies. These were the coup guide domain fan tan, the idyll legislature, and the Canadian fantan. ground on this operation Canada proceed being a resolution since a build and exposed trace of a compound attitude is that a colonization has no provide to check its administration.

The keep of the process of amendment of the articles in the physical composition touch on the cope amid the social class 1949 and 1982.\n\nTo substantiate the causa reckon of the 1980 negotiations that ultimately led to the 1982 patriation of the Canadian penning, a drawing taradiddle or overview is incumbent of the clear up of the temperament from the stratum 1931 until the QuÃ©bec referendum in the category 1980. It had been recognized as curtly as 1926 that the rulertion of amending the musical composition would drop to be resolved or concur upon in the beginning the conjure of Canada experiences an free-living one. The 1926 constitution by Balfour indicated that the 1867, British due north the States Act did not give the Canadians the power to amend the constitution without a generator to the swell Britain. amid the socio-economic class 1927 and 1982, a ingrained of 14 different trials or attempts had been make for Canadians to examine to poke out an transcription on the formula or occasion to allow them to recede the British normality the States Act from the fan tan legislative legal power at Westminster.\n\nThe constitution Act, 1982 is regarded as a record that miscellanead deep the semipolitical beautify of Canada by obstetrical delivery the highest practice of fairness of the land, and providing the Canadians with a machine or a system to exchange or change the constitution.

    Just In Case Travel Kit You Shouldn’t Go Without

    May 14, 2020 9 Comments
    just in case travel kit_Writing From Nowhere_Kayla Ihrig
    *This post may contain affiliate links, which means I may receive a small commission, at no cost to you, if you make a purchase through a link.*

    During the Great Depression, there was a slogan: use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without. When you’re far from home, with different resources and limited money, this philosophy is golden. When you’re out on the road, things will break and go wrong – it’s all a part of the travel gig. This just in case travel kit will have your back wherever your travels take you.

    I’ve put together this little kit, I call it my traveling “headquarters,” with items that are handy to have and can save the day.

    Taking a just in case travel kit is just good common sense, but it’s also golden for another reason. By extending the life of your stuff and therefore reducing waste, it also helps you be a more sustainable traveler.

    The Sustainable Side Of Being Prepared

    If you have the means to fix things when they break, you save items from the landfill and also the resources and carbon footprint of buying a new product to replace it.

    This is my personal list, and you’ll probably be able to tell that I love being prepared. This is my favorite blog post ever – combining preparedness with travel and also minimizing waste. These are my three favorite things, so I really hope you enjoy these tips!

    If you’re thinking about the just in case items you need for a trip, use my list as a guide and take or leave items as they suit you.

    Just In Case Travel Kit: Personal Items

    travel preparedness_the just in case things you should take traveling_writing from nowhere

    1. Vomit bag

    I truly hope you’ll never need this vomit bag, but if you feel even a little queasy you’ll be so thankful to have on hand. Your just in case travel kit is not complete without this.

    I’ve never been car sick in my entire life, until riding in a van up tiny hairpins roads through high elevation in Peru. The different altitude got to me big time.

    Food is also a wild card – your stomach may not be used to the cuisine wherever you are, plus not every country has food code (“does this taste old to you?”).

    I met a Canadian man who had been vomited on while traveling – by people he didn’t know – twice. TWICE! Let’s avoid that… *shudders*

    just in case travel kit_peru_Kayla Ihrig_Writing From Nowhere
    Those squiggles up the mountain? That’s the road up to Machu Picchu. I had never been on roads like that in my life. Add high altitude into the mix, and you may be feeling pretty queasy by the time you get to the top. Peru, 2018

    I’ve said enough.

    Beyond your just in case travel kit, I actually recommend you sneak a vomit big into your messenger bag, bookbag, purse, etc. for daily emergencies. I’ve never needed my vomit bag for me, but it has been used by kids I’ve babysat, (I was a nanny/babysitter for 10+ years) and strangers.

    It’s such a comfort to someone who’s ill to not have to be more embarssed. Seriously.

    Any paper bag will do. If you’ll be flying for your next trip, take some from the plane. Vomit bags should be in the seat-back pockets or you can ask a flight attendant.

    just in case travel kit_Writing From Nowhere_Kayla Ihrig

    2. Dramamine

    You need this item in your just incase travel kit for the same reasons as item #1. Just remember to store it somewhere reachable, not in a bag that you’ll be stowing away under the bus or aircraft.

    Anyone who is prone to motion sickness pack a bottle in their just in case travel kit. For the rest of us blessedly strong stomachs, just take a few tablets as backup.

    3. Toilet paper

    Not all countries provide free toilet paper in bathrooms like a lot of us are used to.

    Even in the US, I’ve seen some pretty ragged rest stops that weren’t stocked (I’m looking at you, latrine on the southern border of Arizona that hadn’t seen any love in an unseemly amount of time).

    When you’ve gotta go, you’ve gotta go, toilet paper on hand or not.

    If you’re going on a long trip, I would take a whole roll (squish it flat and store it in a ziplock bag to keep it clean). For a smaller trip, enough for emergencies should be fine.

    4. Hand sanitizer

    It’s not the norm everywhere to wash hands after using the bathroom. I’ve seen many bathrooms that don’t even provide soap or have running water.

    If it’s your personal norm to do so, then you’re going to want hand sanitizer. I start every trip with two travel size bottles and usually buy more along the way.

    5. First Aid Kit

    There are two types of first aid kits you should have for traveling. The first is a small kit for shorter trips, or for traveling is places where you’ll never be far from help (it’s probably overkill to pack a splint if for just a weekend in Paris, where help could arrive very quickly if an accident were to occur).

    I am not a certified first aid expert, so you should consult the American Red Cross’s recommendations for further safety information.

    My First Aid Items For Short Trips

    My strategy: I take a full first aid kit with me on long trips, but for a week or less I just take the basics (except camping, in which case you should always take a fully loaded first aid kit).

    My First Aid Items For Long Trips

    Just so you know: this list does not include every single first aid item you should take in your just in case travel kit. My kit has more than 100 pieces in it, and this is just covering the highlights. You should refer to the American Red Cross for professional advice. Especially if you’ll be in a scenario where help would be delayed (such as on a boat , in the backcountry, etc.).

    • Medical gloves
    • Surgical mask – you can buy these in the first aid section of most stores, or even get them for free during flu season. If you’re going anywhere with volcanoes or a chance of earthquakes or wildfires, you should take one. Filling your lungs with ash or dust is painful and damaging.
    • A Sam Splint for stabilizing sprains and bone breaks
    • Foil thermal blanket
    • Instant ice pack
    • A whistle – for the event that you may get lost or need to call for help
    • A Sharpie for extreme scenarios in the backcountry. In the event that two people are in the backcountry together and one of them encurrs a life-threatening injury and is unable to move, their partner may have to leave them to seek out help. A Sharpie is used to write information on the injured person, in the event that they lose consciousness and are discovered by someone else. If you’re going into the backcountry, you really should be prepared by taking the American Red Cross Wilderness And Remote First Aid Course.

    Personally, I love first aid and preparedness (am I the only one? Do you also get a kick out of being prepared??). But if this seems like too much work, you can buy a premade kit and add any additional pieces yourself to flesh it out.

    Just In Case Travel Kit: Practical Items

    6. Zipties in an assortment of sizes

    These are great for Macgyvering broken items.

    A zip tie can become a makeshift shoe lace, zipper pull, bag handle – you get it. Endlessly handy to have.

    7. Small scissors

    If you take scissors, you will find yourself using them. It’s just one of those things! Personally, I like actual scissors over a pocket knife, but aknife will probably tick this box as well in many situations.

    Plus, as I mentioned about in #5, scissors are an essential part of a complete first aid kit, useful for cutting clothing, gauze, bandages or Moleskin.

    8. Pen and marker

    These might be items you don’t think you’ll need, but if you end up do needing to write something down and don’t have anything, you’re out of luck.

    You’ll need a pen to fill out any customs forms if you’re going abroad. A marker is handy for labeling your food in a hostel kitchen.

    9. Paracord

    Paracord is just one of those things – once you have it, you wonder how you ever survived without it.

    It’s handy in mending broken items, or making something new altogether – I have 2 friends that built a makeshift tent out of tarp and paracord when they couldn’t find a hostel for the night.

    As a bonus, I always pack a roll of reflective paracord. After a camping snafu where I tied up a bear bag in a tree and then couldn’t find it, I now use the reflective paracord to help mark things.

    That can be a bear bag, the entrance to the campsite, small items that are easily overlooked and left behind when packing.

    When doing a lot of bus travel, it can also be handy to tie reflective paracord to backpack. This makes it easy to spot when unloading a bus in the middle of the night or trying to describe your bag to the person returning luggage.

    10. Lighter

    Even if you’re not a smoker, it’s just one of those basics that is good to have. If you do smoke or use a lighter often, consider getting an electric lighter and making it the last lighter you’ll ever need.

    11. Locks

    That right, locks plural! I take two locks on every trip.

    Combination Lock and Cable

    The firstlock that you need in your just in case travel kit is a standard combination lock with a cable. When traveling, my husband and I find ourselves spending many nights at airports and bus terminals. If we’re both laying down to sleep, I secure our bags so that we don’t make ourselves easy targets for being robbed.

    I loop the cable around both of our packs together, going through zipper pulls or handles to make sure it’s actually connected, then put the ends of the cable on the lock and lock it.

    Lastly, I throw a rain coat over the top of the packs for discretion.

      If someone came over while we were sleeping, just the sound of pulling the jacket off would probably wake us, but there’d be no way to quickly take off with huge packs tethered together.

      This may sound intense to some travelers, but I’ve had my room rummaged through and robbed before so I’ve made it a habit to be proactive.

      just in case travel kit_peru 2_Kayla Ihrig_Writing From Nowhere
      I found myself sleeping in a lot of airports and bus terminals in South America, and these locks gave me the assurance that no one could quickly run off with one of my bags while I had my eyes closed. Peru, 2017

      Double-Sided Cable Lock

      The second lock ou should always include in your just in case travel kit is a double-sided cable lock.

      The just in case things you should take traveling_travel preparedness_Writing From Nowhere

      First, you lock your bag shut so no one can go through it. The cable is flexible, so if your bag doesn’t have those luggage pulls with the lock holes in it, you can still get it through.

      Next, you lock the longer loop through something else, like your seat or the overhead luggage rack, making it impossible to swipe. With this, no one can rummage through your bag or walk off with it.

      With enough time and tools, a thief could still cut your bag, etc. but this is a great deterrence for opportunists.

      You can find a double-sided cable lock here. If you’d like more on this topic, I have an entire blog piece on just securing your packs.

      12. Ziplock bags in an assortment of sizes

      In my day-to-day life, I never use Ziplocks because of the plastic epidemic, but they’re invaluable when on the road. I take an assortment of sizes.

      Some of the best uses: water bag to seal off your electronics during a rain storm, taking food to-go, “packing out” toilet paper if you’re going to the bathroom in the woods, keeping your liquid toiletries separate from everything else in your bag in case something leaks.

      13. Glue

      You don’t need anything fancy, just something that could maybe repair a broken plastic piece of your pack, or reattach the bottom of your shoe or seal a broken water bottle.

      If it’s liquid, make sure it’s in a Ziplock bag so if it breaks it doesn’t damage anything!

      I always take a pouch of Sugru glue. It’s super versatile: it’s flexible, mouldable, waterproof and small to carry with you.

      Extending The Life Of Your Stuff_Writing From Nowhere_Kayla Ihrig

      This glue is so amazing that I even included it on my holiday gift guide. Glue is a cool gift when it does THIS much!

      14. Mini sewing kit

      This is worth its weight in gold if (when) you a tear in your clothes. You don’t need to be a skilled seamstress, just being able to sew up a hole or reattach a button is immensely useful and can save you from needing to buy new clothes.

      15. Rain Gear For You And Your Backpack

      “What do weathermen and politicians have in common? They both get paid to lie.” My grandfather told me that joke probably a thousand times while I was growing up.

      There’s a less to be learned in there though: never rely on the forecast to be completely accurate.

      Your just in case travel kit isn’t ready without some rain gear. It doesn’t have to be bulky or heavy duty. My rain suit is essentially just a glorified garbage bag, but it’s been keeping me dry for years. I recommend something packable that folds into a little pouch and disappears into your bag until yo uneed it.

      just in case travel kit_AT_Kayla Ihrig_Writing From Nowhere
      You don’t have to sweat the forecast if you’re prepared! Your just in case travel kit will have your back(pack). Soaking wet on the Appalachian Trail, 2018

      Now that you’re covered, don’t forget your bag! A wet bag is inconvenient, smelly and I reckon expensive if anything gets ruined and needs replaced. Your just in case travel kit isn’t ready with a rain cover for you bag as well as your body.

      16. Miscellaneous Items For Your Just In Case Travel Kit

      These are items that have just come in handy and are small enough to toss in.

      • Carabiners
      • Binder clips
      • Rubber bands
      • Safety pins

      Putting Your Just In Case Travel Kit Together

      sustainable travel_the just in case things you should take traveling_Writing From Nowhere

      I store all of these items in a small hip pack, but anything will do. Its quite compact. I keep it in the brain, or the topmost part of my big pack, to be easily reached.

      On smaller trips with just a book bag, I just toss it into the abyss of my bag.

      Just In Case Travel Kit Summary

      This is  my “just in case” list, and I hope it helps you prepare for whatever exciting trip you have next!

      If you’re someone who likes to feel prepared, and who maybe doesn’t have the money to buy a new bags, pair of shoes, etc. if something breaks on the road, then taking these items should give you some peace of mind.

WTF Chumocracy Special

Hallo Readers,

It has been a bad week for the Johnson Brothers, Boris and Jo. And a worse week for the taxpayer who had to pay for their mistakes, not to mention the enquiries into their mistakes. Both have been roundly criticised for failure properly to follow process but do they care? Boris and Jo both went to Eton and Oxford, where they were waited upon hand and foot by minions various. Why bother to clean up your mess when someone else  can do it?

Boris needs no introduction, a shambling, rambling, mendacious mess of a man without morals and with an overwhelming sense of entitlement. He is currently engaged in steering HMS Brexit onto the rocks but yesterday, he was dragged before the London Assembly as its former Mayor to explain the shambolic Garden Bridge project which wasted £40 million of public funds, although construction never actually started. This proposed Eden was supposed to provide pedestrians with a leafy stroll across the Thames amidst bushes and trees, even though Blackfriars Bridge, (admittedly not leafy because it’s a bloody bridge), is close by and though the public would be kept off the bridge much of the time whilst it was hired out for corporate events with the profits going to private owners. The concept was dreamt up by actress Joanna Lumley, a friend of the Johnson family, who prevailed upon Boris to champion the scheme. And he did. The tendering process was a fix with the design contract going to a firm of architects with little experience of bridges and with which by sheer coincidence, Lumley was associated. Guarantees were given by various public bodies, all spending our money but matching private funding never materialised. Last year, new Mayor Sadiq Khan pulled the plug to avoid further losses. Boris neither saw a problem nor apologised. Instead he bemoaned the lack of vision in killing Joanna’s scheme. But then when you’re about to plunge the whole British economy into chaos, who cares about £40 million?

Meanwhile, Jo was also playing the chumocracy card. As Minister for Universities, he set up a pointless quango called the Office for Students. Advertisements were placed for Non-Executive Directors and for a “Student Experience” representative.  220 people applied for the NED role and 131 for the Student role in a process that was supposed to be fair and impartial and result in a diverse board. But Jo approached Boris’ mate Toby Young, a journalist and champion of Academy schools, suggesting he apply. Young was duly appointed by the all-male, all-white selection board, despite Jo’s boss, the Secretary of State, querying Young’s suitability and despite his reputation as a foul-mouthed, sex-obsessed, eugenics-espousing, snobbish pig with a back catalogue of revolting tweets about women’s breasts, anal rape and admitting proles to Oxford, his alma mater. His social media accounts and public utterances were never checked, unlike the choice for the Student Experience candidate, whose every tweet was closely scrutinised and who was rejected by no 10 “advisers” and Department of Education officials because he was seen as too lefty.  Jo and his colleagues wanted people like Young, white, Oxbridge, “one of them”, avid supporters of Tory education policies and good fun at garden parties. Fortunately, Young’s appointment prompted such an outcry that he was forced to resign within a week and before even taking office, despite (or perhaps because of) vocal support from the Brothers Grimm. As for the Student Experience post, none of the candidates got the gig and an interim appointment had to be made. If only one of them had hobnobbed with the Johnsons over cocktails, it could all have been so different.

We start our review of the week’s outlandish outfits with professional showoff Frankie Grande, who hosted the Make-Up Artists and Hair Stylists Guild Awards, looking very shiny.

The jacket is cute but he has a couple of toy cars on his feet and his hair is like a badger that some cruel child psychopath has plugged into the mains.

Actress Kira Kosarin was at the same event, wearing not a lot.

Kira tweeted that the dress had ‘shifted off-centre’.  She would have done better to have shifted it into the bin. There is a silly slanted tit window, the halter neck is strangling her and there is a serious Minge Moment in progress.

Something is peeping out of that thigh-high slit, and whatever it is, it should not be on display. Yurgle.

Now we visit the premiere of A Wrinkle in Time attended by actress Angela Bassett, wearing Greta Constantine.

Never mind a Wrinkle in Time, this is a Throwback in Time to Studio 54 in 1979. Any woman would be proud of those abs, let alone someone of 58. However, that is no excuse for going out in public looking like Scheherazade on the pull.

Here is pointless person Kim Kardashian out and about in New York, wearing a big black jacket, baggy trewsies and Celine mules.

Where to start? The My Little Pony hair? The preponderance of plastic tittage (Kim has revealed that she prevents nipslips with industrial strength gaffer tape – ouch! Imagine removing gaffer tape from your nipples – they would be would be more raw than a steak tartare). The jacket big enough for both her and Kanye, should he be so minded? The horrible trewsies? The mules whiter and brighter than any toothpaste ad? Not that she ever had it, but Kim has seriously lost it. Just go away.

Billionaire fashionista James Goldstein at Milan Fashion Week.

WTF has no idea who Ms Cameltoe is or why she is dressed as a titsy astronaut in kinky boots or what that thing is around her waist. James, who is wearing his usual leather hat and ridiculous, eye-wateringly expensive designer togs, is the colour of stewed tea and looks like Crocodile Dundee’s granddad.

To a charity do in LA and singer Britney Spears, wearing Gucci.

Britney always looks the same, wearing a tight, tiny, tawdry, little thing no longer than a tunic and barely covering her crotch. What distinguishes this outfit from her other outfits are the sandals.

 Her toes are overhanging like gargoyles projecting from a church….

This is actor Keesha Sharp at the BET American Black Festival Honors, wearing who even knows what.

You know when you slow- roast a shoulder of lamb and the bottom of the pan is thick with encrustations that are near impossible to remove, no matter how long you leave it to soak? That is what this dress looks like. It also seems to have been designed for someone about a foot taller than Keesha and WTF cannot but remark on the very visible belly-button, which she hates almost above all things.

Here is actress Jennifer Tilly, wearing a most remarkable ensemble.

Sometimes you might wear an oversized teeshirt at home, perhaps with a pair of bed socks. Or slip one over your swimsuit to nip down to the beach on a Greek island. But you do not go out to an evening event in one, particularly when it is very sparkly with a nightmarish logo. And you do not style it with what appears to be matching spats and the world’s ugliest clutch. Sack the stylist. Or get one. Or something…..

Finally, here is actress Sharon Stone at the Forbes Travel Guide launch.

Another stunning woman in her late 50s in a truly terrible dress. Last week we saw a hairy merkin on the catwalk. Now we have a sequinned merkin onstage. For some reason, Sharon has a broom head around her waist whilst the bottom of her dress is made from the remains of a bedraggled blackbird.

This week’s It’s Got To Go is the Daily Mail’s disgusting “journalist” Sarah Vine, aka Mrs Michael Gove. That is reason enough to hate her, Heaven knows, but Vine continues to provide new reasons to keep that hatred fresh. This week she slammed the BBC women who had the gall to complain that they were underpaid compared to men doing the same work.  She wrote” ‘No one else is going to say it, so I will. Some people get paid less than others, not because they are not posh enough (see Steph McGovern, who claims she is underpaid at the BBC on account of being from Middlesbrough) or a certain gender (Carrie Gracie, former China editor for the BBC who resigned over equal pay), but for the simple reason that they are not as good at their jobs as others’.

Not only is this untrue, it is vicious, cheap, bullshit from a woman who would probably not hold on to her piss-poor column were she not married to a Tory grandee, let alone earn a six-figure salary for writing it. Sarah has so Got to Go.

OK Readers, that’s your lot for this week. Thank you for your lovely comments last week and your suggestions for It’s Got To Go. Let us meet again next Friday to consider political developments and to review the Oscar Red Carpet. Be good x

    Remember when we watched the Red Carpet with awe and envy. I wouldn’t want to be famous if it meant wearing dross like that!
    Kira Kosarin’s dress just looked very, very cheap. As for Angela Basset and Sharon Stone, two normally classy women, what were they thinking!!?

  2. Andrew Purcell says:

    *Boris Johnson has a brother in public life? You have my deepest condolences.
    *Is Angela Basset is auditioning for a remake of “I Dream of Jeannie”?
    *Kim Kardashian isn’t wearing her shirt. Maybe she gave it to Jennifer Tilly.
    *I’m not against older folks wearing leather, but James Goldstein needs to update his look. It hasn’t been 1967 in over a half century and it’s been even longer since he was twenty five. That sort of outfit doesn’t ring true while being worn by any septuagenarian who isn’t Keith Richards (Keith is timeless).
    *I didn’t realize that Britney Spears was still famous enough to be invited to a red carpet event. The picture of the gargoyle is nice. Do you know what church it’s from?
    *I can’t add anything constructive to your comments about Keesha Sharp’s outfit, although she does have a beautiful smile.

  3. Romi Bryden says:

    The gargoyle looks shocked; probably wondering what Kim Kardashian is for.

The Heart Of The Home

Builders, architects, designers and merchants can see it. Kitchen functionality and design constantly grow, whether it is because of the time we are in or the way of life.

Small kitchen appliances, from the fridge to the dishwasher and stove change all the time. Kitchens are more ecologically built, because recycled materials are often being used, eco products and a greener way of life reduce the bad influence on the environment.

The kitchen is the heart of the home

They say that the kitchen is the heart of the entire home. We believe that that is true, whether it is small or big, the kitchen is the center of the home. It is a place where meals are made, and it gives the body and soul peace. The kitchen is a true friend of families all over the world. Some say that life is made in the bedroom, but it is certainly revitalized in the kitchen.

The kitchen depends on the way of life

The importance of this room depends on the size of the kitchen, the family and the way of life. In older homes, kitchens are usually small, separated and removed from the rest of the house. That was a space used exclusively for cooking. In older homes, the dining room and living room were more important.

In the past for cooking, today for life

We all have some memory of our mothers, or sometimes both parents, slaving over the stove and working hard to make us a delicious and nutritious meal. In most cases children are encouraged to join the efforts and learn the skill of cooking. Next to enjoying making a meal for the whole family, beautiful memories were created. The kitchen is not a sleepy and peaceful place, it is full of energy, smells and warmth.

The kitchen gathers the family in the morning

In big and spacious homes, the kitchen is often big enough to support a large table for a family lunch or snack, but lunch and dinner are still served in the dining room where the family gathers at the end of the day. Family lunch was much more important in the past.

The importance of size and design

The importance of the size and productivity of the kitchen is big. Selling homes largely depends on the kitchen – functionality, the location in the home and design. Older kitchens have to look more modern and new. It is not uncommon that real estate agents renew the kitchen. A kitchen should also be well lit, because cooking demands that. And it is also more beautiful.

Today, a kitchen is much more than just a kitchen

Today, a kitchen is the family living space. It is the kitchen – a set space for cooking – with a well thought of setting. Then, there is the dining room, as a part of the kitchen, usually big enough to have a 6 person table. And there is the space for resting and sitting, which means the whole family can socialize while the meal is being prepared.

What do you think? Is the kitchen the heart of every home?

Announcing 0to255 Studio

0to255 Studio Preview

Update: The planned release date for 0to255 Studio has been moved to Fall/Winter 2019. Thank you for your patience.

In the next month or so I’ll be releasing 0to255 Studio, a complete color solution that’s designed to be powerful enough for the most color-savvy professionals yet intuitive enough for everyone to find that perfect color. I’ve been designing it for several years, and, maybe I’m biased, but I think it’s the bee’s knees as far as color tools go. I think you’ll probably like it too. Here are some things you’ll be able to do with it:

  • Create color palettes using a new interface that builds on the intuitive design of 0to255. It’ll probably look like the image above. Maybe a little different. Who’s to say? I don’t write on stones. It’ll probably be even better. Maybe worse. That’s the risk you take when you make things. But that’s not news to you, you maker-of-things you.
  • Save all your colors and palettes. Access them anytime, anywhere with your very own 0to255 account. Export them too. Do whatever you want with them. They’re your palettes.
  • Convert colors to and from the most popular color spaces including RGB, HSL, HSV/HSB, CMYK, CIELab, and CIELCh. And thank you for the blessings, but I did not just sneeze.
  • Adjust colors using any scale in the color spaces mentioned above, for example HSB hue, HSL saturation, CMYK cyan, or CIELCh lightness. The new interface uses perceptual difference to figure out which color should go where, so you can be sure that two colors three spaces apart will look exactly as different as any other two colors three spaces apart, regardless of which scale you’re lookin’ at. Not only that, you’ll be able to adjust just how different or similar they are when you need to fine-tune your tones. In design, precision makes all the difference.
  • Customize the format that’s copied to your clipboard so you can use it wherever you want without having to futz with it first.

0to255 Studio will be an optional upgrade to the current 0to255. All these features, plus an ad-free experience, will be available soon for $14/year. As a bonus, you’ll have access to any new features and improvements as they’re developed. Subscribe to the newsletter to be notified when 0to255 Studio is released and to receive a discount code for 50% off your first year.

As always, thanks for using 0to255! Your support is greatly appreciated and enables me to continue building useful tools.

Politics And The English Language, Paradise Lost

1906 Words8 Pages
Our perspective, the perspective that defines the way we live and die, the perspective that defines who we are, and the perspective that defines all the decisions we make. Our perspective is the paradigm or our worldview, so it is something that we need to get 100% right and be absolutely conclusive about. Things change, people change, times change. Nothing has been more evident over the last century, so is it not fitting that our perspective will change to according to the times we live in? Perspective has its roots in Latin it comes from the word ‘perspicere’ or translates literally as ‘to see clearly.’ Change indicates moving from one form to another. Originally this would be from the innate, original into something refined, something that is still a working progress eventually into the completed form. From these definitions many would conclude that a changing perspective is something that is constantly being refined, relentlessly improved, until the desired paradigm is achieved. However, the nature of a change, is that it will never get stagnant and will always be changing. Paradise Lost by John Milton is a religious blank verse poetic epic. It is broken into 12 books and each of them contributes to the overall story, I have focused upon the first book as my text. The first book introduction contains the themes that are addressed in all the books and they are disobedience, eternal providence and the justification of the ways of God to man. The plot starts when Satan and Beelzebub are talking as they are chained in the lake of fire. Satan gets free and lets loose an innumerable number of demons and rallies them into the construction of Pandemonium in the fires of hell, they quickly build this and begin the first council. John Milton uses many differing techniques to get the audience thinking about God and creation. Milton served time in prison for his religious and political views. Milton was a linguist and knew many different languages; his works include many examples of soraismus. The techniques that are used frequently in the first book of Paradise Lost is the use of imagery for events, people and places. The other effect that is used consistently is using blank verse, and the techniques that are applied to it. Another effect that is used is harangue but not of soliloquy, giving it the effect of a conversational piece.

Depression, Industrialists, Drinking and You

It seems like you’re hearing about depression a lot more now than ever before. Life, in general, creates more stress these days than at any point in the past; ours is the first generation who will not reach or exceed our parents’ success; a full-time job no longer promises you the ability to pay for both food and electricity. And after all of that, they still canceled Guardians of the Galaxy 3.

A lot of things go into causing depression, though, even if you don’t consider external sources and pop culture as the driving forces behind your daily mood (that’s really just me?). A lot of people are facing situational depression – something happened, and they’re upset about it, and that’s totally valid. An external trigger like a death in the family, the end of a relationship or some kind of financial crisis can push you over the line from “upset” territory into actual clinical depression.

Some who suffer do so chronically, and no matter how their life situation improves or external factors become more and more positive, they simply cannot be happy. This is the classic “chemical imbalance” that everyone who listened to Morrissey in the 90’s claimed they had. They want to be happy, but they can’t be, and sadly this is often true. This is especially the case for those who have suffered some sort of past trauma; someone on the outside looking in might tell you to “get over it” but that’s not only a really stupid thing to say, it’s also really insulting.

Personally, my depression had a tipping point. There was depression before, and depression after. I like to refer to this as my “Howard Hughes” episode. If you’ll recall, he was basically Tony Stark (who was also famously an alcoholic with depression) but he had a few bad days and decided to skip clipping his fingernails for a couple of years while he lived in a hotel room he would never leave. I can relate; I’d always been depressed, and even before things changed I started drinking in response to that, but there is a definitive point in my life when my depression went from “I’m feeling down all the time” to “I am unable to both shower and eat today, but I must make a choice.”

The latter kind of depression is completely debilitating and there’s nothing you can do. To this date I’ve tried 17 (yes, seventeen) different medications to treat my depression. As you can imagine, filling out forms at the doctor’s office can be a chore. But it’s important to keep trying medication, because the easiest thing to do when you’re depressed is to give up, and if you’re reading this where I think you’re reading this, you know exactly what happens when you give up – and sometimes you don’t even bother with a mixer.

Keeping sober is absolutely essential when you’re suffering from depression, even though the depressed part of your mind is screaming for relief. “It will work!” your brain says. “Only for a few hours,” it replies to itself. “A few hours is more hours than zero!” it retorts. But your brain, in this argument – with itself – needs to be aware that not only is alcohol a CNS depressant (interesting word, eh?), but hangovers are not generally associated with elevated mood.

So it’s good to keep busy. Being a part of AA is time consuming enough on its own, but there is free coffee, so I like to promote that option. You don’t want to be “that guy” whose life outside of AA doesn’t exist, though, so it’s good to find other productive ways to spend your time too. Don’t sleep your day away when you’re feeling depressed, and even if you don’t feel like leaving the house (to this day I’m convinced I hold the record), just do literally anything inside of it. Take a shower, do your laundry, clean the bathtub, see what really lives in the back of the fridge.
And remember, this might sound stupid, but it’s true: you’re special.

First, consider that you’re loved; consider the way your pets look at you, think of the way your parents regard you or how your friends seem so pleased when you show up at events (note, you’ve got to show up to these things, or your friends will think you hate them, and you’ll think they hate you). And don’t forget the people in this program and the people on this site love you, as well. Just because it’s the internet doesn’t mean you’re not forming real relationships here, and they’re available 24/7.

That’s not the only component of your being special, though. You are, genuinely, unique. The chances of you existing with those chromosomes and features, being born to those parents in that location on that date in history are astronomical. And don’t forget how rare being human is; I’ve heard it calculated that there are four major barriers to entry for life to exist. As a result, for intelligent life to exist and reach the level of civilization where we could not only broadcast How I Met Your Mother, but also go online to talk about how bad the ending was, the chances are so low that we may actually be alone in our galaxy. Life itself is so difficult and unique to achieve that there may be no aliens for us to meet.

Maybe that is a whole lot of feel-good nonsense, a semi-literate half-time speech. That’s alright, it’s supposed to be. We’re here because we’re alcoholics, and we’re alcoholics because of something else – whether it’s something we were born with or it was something we experienced. It’s dangerously easy to let depression send you to the liquor store wearing ratty pajamas at eight in the morning. That’s a temporary solution to what might be a permanent problem, though, so I’d propose you give the program a real chance and see if a permanent solution works out better for you.

Google PageRank was co-founded by Larry Page, who was also the co-founder of Google. The name ‘PageRank’ was also taken from his name. The algorithm got patented more than two decades back. Google PageRank was one of the first algorithms used for ranking pages on searches. PageRank helps a website get a better rank on the basis of the quantity and quality of links.

Google PageRank Patent Update is the key component for the Google ranking. This influences how sites are ranked on Google. This algorithm judges the website on the basis of its link. The changes focus on the distance of a link between the site that it links to and the most authoritative site within a given niche.

How It Impacts SEO?

Now, after you know about what actually PageRank Patent Update is, it is important for you to know how this will impact SEO. This is all link building game. Nothing else. In other words, it calculates link distances between the authoritative link and the sites it links to.

It allows small sites to rank larger sites that have more links. It changes the solution for ranking. Thus, it affects the link building.

The ideal link for the link building is a link that is the closest to the most authoritative and high-quality site in that niche. There aren’t many sites linking in a small niche to build up large amounts of PageRank. This boost the rankings of smaller sites in smaller niches.

When it comes to ranking, it is no longer about getting the biggest and most authoritative link. In fact, it becomes a problem of identifying the links that are the shortest distance from the most authoritative sites.

Talking about what has changed with the PageRank, here we cite a quote by Bill Slawski,

Systems and methods for finding multiple shortest paths. A directed graph representing web resources and links are divided into shards, each shard comprising a portion of the graph representing multiple web resources. Each of the shards is assigned to a server, and a distance table is calculated in parallel for each of the web resources in each shard using the nearest seed computation in the server to which the shard was assigned.

This means dividing topics by servers and allowing the servers to calculate in a distributed manner so that if one computer fails the others pick up immediately.

Speaking on how plumbing affects PageRank, Bill says

Hence, what is needed is a method and an apparatus for producing a ranking for pages on the web using a large number of diversified seed pages without the problems of the above-described techniques.

The main motive of PageRank is to create a spam-free map of web pages. This algorithm is probably the gatekeeper of this map that determines what pages will be considered for ranking. They don’t have the liberty to decide who ranks. There are over 200 ranking factors that help determine such rankings.
