Waka Flocka describes how being shot changed his out look on life for the better, and how his success is a direct result in his change of lifestyle.
Waka Flocka has soared to prominence over the past year, and he credits changing the way he viewed life as a major factor behind his success. In January 2010, the BSM rapper was at a car wash in Atlanta when an assailant approached his vehicle and took out a gun. A scuffle ensued as Waka was being robbed, and he fortunately came out alive, but did suffer a gunshot to the arm. He credits this life-threatening situation as the reason behind him maturing and gaining focus.
While in the U.K., the ATL rapper chopped it up with Tim Westwood and talked about how the experience helped him grow. Prior to being shot he described himself as someone with "devious" thoughts, and he was caught up with some negative influences, "I feel like that was more so a life learned lesson...I felt like that was a lesson from God. Cause at the time I was just the most evilist person on the planet, my mind was just devious."
The Salute Me or Shoot Me emcee, says the incident caused him to change up the pace of his life, and as a result he has enjoyed a much more successful career, "I felt like God had to stop me cause I had a whole year and a half of my life in fast forward. ..at that point in my life I was slowed down...plus it made me richer, wiser, stonger."
He adds to Tim Westwood, that too many people are out there trying to "be hip hop", when they should just be themselves. Waka Flocka Flame says he does not let image influence he actions and added, "A lot of hip hop people try to live the hip hop lifestyle, but hip hop is your lifestyle."

When I'm just warming up of a morning, I like to listen to BBC Radio 4 podcasts. I've been picking my way through the series called Four Thought, where speakers share stories and ideas. There are three episodes in particular that I'd like to highlight for information professionals:
Maria Popova: The Architecture of Knowledge – a fascinating look at the way we handle information and create wisdom, incorporating views on knowledge from history but considering the modern, digital era of information overload. A great story!
Rupert Goodwins – tracks human behaviour on the Internet and considers: How can the Internet bring us together to discuss and share with each other in a respectful, reasoned way? How can we avoid arguments and incivility? The speaker has lots of experience and ideas.
This last talk is of interest because of the course I've been teaching at the Humboldt Uni IBI, on Information ethics. In the course, we explore all sorts of issues, including policies for websites that the students as information professionals of the future might play a part in hosting, and the ethical matters behind them, such as authenticity vs anonymity, moderating comments, handling whistleblowers, etc.
Another Four Thought that I found a little bit uncomfortable to listen to was:
Cindy Gallop: Embracing Zero Privacy – recommends taking control of your digital presence, and I agree with that. The speaker has some good ideas, chiefly that "we are what we do" in a very positive and empowering way, but what I find difficult is the notion that we can all live in such an open way. What about people who live in a society that is unaccepting of who they are?What about mistakes from the past, for which a debt has been paid: should they be laid forever bare? What about keeping a personal life personal, even whilst sharing matters of professional interest? On balance, I'm not a fan of zero privacy but this talk is a great opener for discussion.
There are plenty of other talks that provide food for thought in the Radio 4 podcast archives, on all sorts of topics and not only in the Four Thought series. I also like the Reith Lectures, the "Life Scientific", and "In Our Time"… so much more to listen to!

Below is an excerpt of Chapter 1 from the book Master Your Money Type: Using Your Financial Personality to Create a Life of Wealth and Freedom by Jordan E. Goodman . Reprinted with permission from the publisher:
The Money Type Promise
People always ask me where the money is. The other day, after signing off from my phone-in radio show, I opened an e-mail from a young Tennessee woman with just such a request. Her story struck me as both poignant and typical of what so many people are going through in their efforts to better handle their money. It went like this.
"It's been one of those rough years," Holly wrote. "I've had a shopping problem that my husband and I attacked head-on and have, for the time being, been able to control. I leave my credit and debit cards with him so I only buy what we absolutely need on a day-to-day basis. Unfortunately, he didn't get hold of my cards before I ran us into serious debt. Now we are trying to dig out of the $10,000 I owe plus pay off some costly repairs on our roof. I feel like I've laid my head on a chopping block and now the ax is swinging. How can we deal with debt? Who can help us catch up? Frankly, I'd just like to run away. I'm terrified."
I was particularly struck by this e-mail for one reason. Holly's "rough year" sounded all too familiar. I felt as if I'd heard about it, or variations on the theme, many, many times before from people all over America who also seem unable to manage their resources. Naturally, the details are different, but the urgency, and the sense of feeling lost about money issues, were the same. Consider:
- Peter from Florida, running a small, successful real estate firm who is consumed with worry about how to save for his children's college education.
- Frank and Ellen from New Jersey, who are living so close to the vest they can hardly make it from payday to payday while sitting on a pile of savings they are too afraid to touch.
- Maria, a devoted government employee from Alabama, living well within her means but feeling frustrated by her unrealized dreams.
- Sam, a California freelance graphic artist who is in demand but can't figure out where all the money he takes in is going.
One thing is true: People everywhere work hard and want to live better. Often, they can overextend themselves in their desire "to live the dream" and then get caught with bills they can't pay. Or they are doing well but live with the fear that they may lose it all-and may not have any idea how to manage what they have to improve their lives.
In more than two decades as a financial commentator on radio and TV, a lecturer, author, and Wall Street correspondent for Money magazine, I've spoken to and advised thousands of people-some successful, some struggling-on how to solve money questions. But no matter where these people fell on the continuum between haves and have-nots, I realized that I was speaking to many of the same individuals over and over again, people who were asking me for the same advice for the exact same financial problems.
Obviously, they were not following my advice, yet they kept contacting me! What was going on? I had to be missing something. At first, I thought it was simply a matter of answering greater attention to detail.
Determined to help, I would enthusiastically explore the details of their situation and offer carefully considered financial advice tailor-made for that person's income, holdings, responsibilities, and needs. Truly, it seemed to me, all these people needed was sound advice from an attentive financial expert for them to make some significant changes with their finances. But I know now that expertise alone isn't the answer. I finally realized that the "What do I do now?" to which I'd been responding with such optimistic fervor was actually only the first half of the question. The second half is, ". . . given how I feel about money."
I realized that for people to put into effect the best financial advice specific to them, they-and I-had to recognize and understand their complicated feelings about money. I began listening even more closely to the questions I was being asked and became aware there was an intense emotional subtext behind every comment or request for advice. Rarely were these words uttered exactly, but I could hear the emotional subtext-loud and clear.
- "I don't want to end up on the street."
- "I know if I take one more chance, I'll hit the jackpot and have everything I've ever wanted."
- "I feel comfortable financially, but I keep thinking . . . is this all I dare wish for?"
- "I don't know a thing about managing money, and whenever I try, I feel like a moron!"
It occurred to me that people ask the same questions about money because they tend to keep dealing with money the same way-the only way that feels familiar. That made sense, in its way. People also operate from experiences and messages given to them in their past and what they learn along the way. These influences clearly hinder how they deal with money now. This also made sense, and I suddenly knew I'd hit on my answer at last: Everyone's money behavior falls into definable patterns.
Everyone, including you, has some kind of "financial personality"- a style of handling money that reflects everything from the deepest fears to the most heartfelt desires to basic practical dealings on a day-to-day basis. The problem with the people asking those same questions was that they weren't looking at what they felt about money-those very powerful emotional connections just below the surface that drive their decisions. And so they continually make the same mistakes, unable to break away from their usual way of money management to find the prosperity or sense of security-or both-they all craved. Furthermore, this was why they couldn't follow or create a financial plan that might actually work.
I considered the complexity of the money-and-emotion equation, and knew I had to find a way for you to better understand your "financial personality." When you did, your fears about money would lessen and your strengths and creativity with money could grow. What could I do to make these goals happen for you? People came from diverse backgrounds and had different feelings, different values, and different personal histories. Clearly there wouldn't be just one solution.
I wanted to create some sort of simple process wherein I could help you, no matter what your background, beliefs, or present financial situation. I wanted to reconcile money information (what you need to know about managing money itself) with your money attitudes (what you need to know about your feelings and fears about money) so that you could emerge feeling secure and more confident about money, for now and for the future. This became my mission.
This book grew out of my determination to find effective answers to your money questions in a way that would be meaningful. The result is this guide to mastering your Money Type. The key to real life-changing financial success for you can lie within these types. I'll show you how very shortly.
First let's talk about money and what it means to you.
Everyone gives money all sorts of meanings beyond the value of the goods or services it can buy. Why do some people idolize money while others reject it? Why are yet others afraid of money or believe that wanting it is an unworthy or even shameful goal? Why do some people kill for money or kill themselves if they lose it all? Why do close relatives, spouses, or friends become enemies over one's "rightful share" of the money?
The answers are within every life story-the way your answers can be found within your story. Maybe your parents were stingy with you or generous to a fault. Perhaps you were told that life is tough, money is limited, and that you should be grateful for the money you get. Then again, maybe you were raised to believe that the world was bountiful and that the bounty would have your name on it.
Whatever you were told and whatever you believe, no matter how contradictory, one thing is true for all of us: Money is never just money but a repository for our deepest fears, doubts, insecurities, anxieties, aggressive impulses, and even sense of self. All these feelings can influence and even dominate how you manage money. There is always an emotional component to money. When you think about money, how do you feel? Deserving, powerful, confused, secure, happy, insatiable, entitled, guilty, corrupt, fearful?
More important, your attitudes about money can affect and drive your financial aspirations. If, for example, you have a strong conviction that you will always have money, you'll do everything you can to earn more or take the kind of investment risks that will provide financial prosperity. I recently spoke to a woman who said she figured out that she had "ten pockets" from which she could either put in or take out money. That is, she had a job, but she also invested in a friend's business for a share, rented out the family cottage for the summer, as well as having a trusted broker who guided her investment pockets, and so on. For her, security was all-important, and she made every effort to build it.
Perhaps you feel the opposite. You believe your fate is to struggle and never have enough. In this case, you may be in debt and have a poverty mentality that keeps you broke. I got an e-mail from a family man in his forties who said he "hated money matters" and that he couldn't figure out how to make his salary stretch. He said he wanted to "pursue the American Dream," but for him, "it turned into a Financial Survival Nightmare." For this man, the quest for more money will always go hand in hand with hating the details of acquiring and keeping it.
Or perhaps a sense of personal powerlessness stands in the way of financial planning, thus leading to a disastrous retirement fund. I get so many letters that tell me how much you want to know about saving for a specific goal, but you feel intimidated by the information-and most of all, fearful that you cannot learn how to do it. When you believe that money management is elitist or arcane and beyond your scope, well, as the saying goes, "If you believe you can't, you're right!" Believe you can.
In this book, I'll help you uncover your dominant money values, attitudes, and behavior and pinpoint what emotional baggage is standing in the way of you improving your finances. Identifying your emotional baggage helps you understand the motivation and emotions behind your money behavior. This involves self-awareness-what is really happening in your money life, not what you want or don't want or can't admit is happening. It is about making peace with the past and finally letting yourself master how money works and can work for you.

LOST YOUR DOG?While out walking, dogs can wander off. They usually retrace their route back to where they left you but you could well have moved on. If a dog has visited the area before it usually knows the route home so it will often return home or to your car before you unless someone intercepts it.
If your dog has been missing for more than 12 hours you need to start checking with the Police, Dog Warden, vets and rescue organisations.
YOU ONLY HAVE 7 DAYSYou have 7 days to find your dog before it is put up for re-homing or destroyed.
If you trace your dog after that time for example in a rescue centre it is usually cheaper to adopt the dog since the fines will total more than the rescue are asking for it.
POLICEIt is a legal requirement that a 'found' dog is reported to the Police. Unfortunately, some local police stations are not interested in lost dogs and may not even keep a record of lost and found dogs reported to them. You can phone them in the first instance but if they have no trace of the dog you should write down as much detail of your dog as you can and give it to all the police stations in your area. Visit them several times at different times of the day. If your dog has been found and reported to them you may need to talk to the person that it was reported to who may only be there at a certain time of day.
The police usually only keep the dogs a few hours before passing it on to a local Dog Warden or Rescue organisation.Do not assume that because your dog is fitted with an identification micro-chip that the Police will be able to trace it back to you. Some Police stations do not have chip readers and those that do may not read the latest version of micro-chip.
We suggest you make sure to get a Crime Number from the Police so your loss is logged on their computer. And remember that dogs come under the Sale of Goods Act and are therefore a chattel or 'good' which makes the theft of a dog equal to having your car, watch, wallet etc. stolen.If you believe your dog has been stolen and find the Police less than helpful, you can always write to your MP, c/o House of Commons, London SW1A 0AA. So many dogs ARE stolen these days that it might help others if the scale of the problem is brought to the attention of authorities.
DOG WARDENDog Wardens are employed by the local council and usually keep stray dogs for 7 days and then pass them to a rescue centre that could be many miles from where the dog was lost. Binfield Dog Rescue re-homes dogs from council pounds up to 150 miles away. If there is no room at any local rescue centre the dog could be destroyed. Leave details of your lost dog with your local dog warden and with dog wardens of neighbouring areas. Ask them where they send stray dogs after 7 days.

VETSVets will usually treat an injured dog if they can. They will then pass it along to their preferred Rescue Organisation that could be 50-100 miles from where you lost your dog. Leave details of your dog with all the local vets and ask them where they send stray dogs.
RESCUE CENTRESThe Police or a member of the public may take your dog directly to a rescue centre. This could be 50-100 miles from where you lost the dog. Check the yellow pages for rescue centres and leave details of your lost dog with them along with several contact numbers (home, work, mobile and/or a person who is likely to be in most of the time). Ask them for details of any other rescue organisations they know of. Don't let them put you off by saying they don't receive dogs from your area. Give them the information anyway.
MICRO-CHIPSThese are transponders are about the size of a grain of rice and are usually fitted under the skin in the scruff of the neck. When a detector is placed near the chip it transmits an identification code. When this code is passed to the company that registered the ID number they can check the database and tell the finder whom to contact regarding the dog. Most vets and many rescue centres can fit these for £20-£30. Micro-chips are not a substitute for a tag since very few people carry a chip reader in their pocket!
TAG YOUR DOGMake sure your dog has attached to it a tag that has on it your house and street number, your postcode, and phone numbers of people who can be contacted during the day. Tags are better than containers because they can be easily read when it is wet.
FOUND DOGSIf your dog has been found it could be many miles away. Some people who find dogs may keep them for several weeks before deciding to hand them over to a rescue centre!
THINGS TO DO IF YOUR DOG IS MISSING Don't assume someone is going to find the dog and return it to you. Don't assume that the Police, Dog Warden, Vet, Rescue Organisation will inform you if they find your dog even if it does have a collar tag or micro-chip. There is no central list of lost dogs. Give the details of your dog to all the Police stations, Vets, Dog Wardens and Rescue Centres within at least a 50 mile radius of where you lost your dog. Ask at all the local newsagents and Post Offices near to where you lost the dog in case someone has mentioned it. Check with the drivers at the taxi rank. They drive around the local area day and night so are likely to see stray dogs wandering about. Make up some posters preferably with a colour photograph (find someone with a computer and colour printer or a colour photocopier). Give these to the postman and milkman in the area. They cover the area slowly so are likely to see stray dogs wandering about. If there are farms near where you lost the dog check whether your dog has been seen. Ask to check outbuildings, barns, etc as these are comforting places for a dog to shelter. Keep checking with the above even if you have done so several times already. Put your dogs' details on the lost and found database on the web Click here to see dogs found by the Wokingham Animal Warden

Learn about our Medical Review Board Rochelle Collins, DO, FAAFP on December 03, 2019 Written by facebook twitter Written by Cathy Wong Cathy Wong is a nutritionist and wellness expert. Her work is regularly featured in media such as First For Women, Woman's World, and Natural Health. Learn about our editorial policy Cathy Wong Squaredpixels/Getty Images More in Menstrual Disorders PMS & PMDD Cycle Disorders Cramps Normal Menstruation As hormones rise and fall, some women and people who menstruate experience PMS (premenstrual syndrome), a group of physical and emotional symptoms such as abdominal bloating, breast tenderness, changes in appetite, fatigue, depression, and anxiety in the week or two before their menstrual period. Natural Remedies If you deal with PMS, you may be able to improve your symptoms by making lifestyle changes. A variety of remedies are often used to relieve PMS symptoms, from eating certain foods to exercising. Here are some of the more commonly used remedies. Calcium Although a variety of supplements have been suggested to relieve PMS symptoms, at this time only calcium has demonstrated a consistent therapeutic benefit. One of the largest studies on calcium for PMS, published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, examined the use of calcium supplements by women with moderate to severe premenstrual symptoms. Participants in the study took either calcium or a placebo for three months. Researchers found that women who took calcium had a 48 percent reduction in their total symptom scores. In another analysis, published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, researchers analyzed data from 1057 women who developed PMS over 10 years of follow-up and 1968 women without PMS. They found that women who had a high intake of calcium from food sources had a significantly lower risk of PMS. Approximately four servings a day (equivalent to about 1200 mg calcium) of skim or low-fat milk, fortified orange juice, or low-fat dairy foods such as yogurt was associated with a lower risk. Interestingly, calcium from supplements was not associated with the risk of PMS. Foods high in calcium include: Dairy productsSesame seedsAlmondsLeafy green vegetables The study also found that women who had a high intake of vitamin D (a vitamin that regulates calcium absorption and metabolism) from food sources corresponding to approximately 400 IU per day had a lower risk of PMS. A later study published in BMC Women's Health assessed blood levels of vitamin D (25-hydroxyvitamin D) and found that vitamin D levels were unrelated to the risk of PMS overall, but were inversely related to the risk of specific menstrual symptoms such as breast tenderness, diarrhea or constipation, fatigue, and depression. Diet The most common diet recommendations are to limit sugar intake and increase the consumption of complex carbohydrates. Some people may benefit from reduced sodium intake, which may help to reduce bloating, water retention, and breast swelling and tenderness. Caffeine restriction is another common diet change because of the association between caffeine and PMS symptoms such as irritability and insomnia. Exercise Sticking to a regular exercise routine may help to improve PMS symptoms. Regular aerobic exercise such as brisk walking, jogging, swimming, or cycling releases endorphins, dopamine, and serotonin (chemical messengers that can boost mood) and has positive benefits on energy and sleep. Stress Management Breathing exercises, meditation, and yoga are some natural ways to reduce stress and promote relaxation. Many women feel more assertive and attuned to their needs in the weeks before menses. This can be used constructively by allowing for personal time to relax, expressing emotions, and giving priority to your needs and what nourishes you. Agnus Castus (Chaste Tree Berry) Chaste tree berry (Vitex agnus-castus) berry is often suggested as an herbal supplement to help with premenstrual syndrome. For example, a study published in Phytomedicine examined the use of agnus castus (in three different doses) or a placebo in 162 women with PMS. After the three month period, women who took 20 mg per day had improved symptoms compared to those who took the placebo or 8 mg. In a 2013 study published in Planta Medica, researchers reviewed previously published studies on the use of the chaste tree for female reproductive conditions. They found that five out of six studies found agnus castus supplements were more effective than a placebo. There may be side effects and it may not be appropriate for some people (such as those with certain health conditions or people are taking medication), so if you are considering taking agnus castus, it's important to consult your health care provider first. Integrative Approaches Acupuncture, massage therapy, and aromatherapy (using essential oils) are sometimes suggested to reduce symptoms of PMS. Bottom Line If you have PMS, there may be certain lifestyle changes you can make to improve your symptoms and help bring your hormones back into balance.

How can I attach handlers to specific events fired from the controls at runtime?
I want to develop an IDE using .NET (VB.NET or C#) for which I need to create the form and controls at runtime that can fire events. I can create the controls, but how do I create a form that responds to events at runtime? Can I do it in .NET or do I have to do it in VC++?
If you want to attach at runtime some handlers to specific events fired from the controls, you have to use reflection. First, you get a reference to the EventInfo object for the event you want to "catch":
System.Windows.Forms.ListBox myListBox = new System.Windows.Forms.ListBox(); EventInfo ei = typeof(System.Windows.Forms.ListBox).GetEvent ("SelectedIndexChanged");
Next, you can use the AddHandler to attach the method you want to it, provided the signatures match, of course:
ei.AddEventHandler(myListBox, new EventHandler(OnSelectedIndexChanged));

Step 3: Bend forward until the upper body stands halfway parallel to the ground. Place your hands right under your shoulders on the ground and see to it that your lower back is straight and still supports your position.
Step 4: Push, as it were, your pelvis upward, look to the ground and stretch from the neck towards the ground.
If you can do this easily, you can grab the outsides of your feet and slightly pull at them so that the front part of your body feels long and you can stretch even further.
The stretching should be the result of relaxation, letting loose, gravitation and the stretching motion itself and not the result of pulling your hands with force.
Note :
When you come back, stand straight up again and then you jump back to Tadasana.
Try to maintain the feeling of stretching and giving length to the back and the chest at all times in the forward bend. When the back sinks down the chest and your breathing get oppressed and you lose a major part of the stretching.
Remember that you do this forward bend in a relaxed manner and never through pulling your feet with force. When you pull too hard, the body stiffens, your thinking and breathing become unquiet and you run a risk of injuring yourself.

The skew in crimes against people with disabilities this week is definitely toward not only physical assault, but murder. Yes, murder, either directly committed or the result of severe neglect. This analysis includes murder committed by family members. Just awful. I have included one article, also, on the tragedy that occurred at the offices of Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino. Although most of those killed (14 in total, 22 injured) were L.A. County Department of Public Health staff who were attending a holiday party, everyone on site were deeply affected. We know that recovery will take time, and these events are likely to reverberate in many ways. Right now, one of the ways is service delivery. For those on this list who have been so affected, please receive the healing and loving thoughts sent to you from this project.
Here is the analysis of this week's newsfeed, again with thanks to Anne Kincaid for collecting these articles:
FINANCIAL ABUSE/THEFT: 1, 63 (I had a hard time categorizing this as it is both physical assault and theft. The nurse removed the prescribe pain skin patches from the patients and placed them on herself. The patients were unable to complain.) Also #64.

Which hypervisor features provide the most virtual server security?
The advent of integrated hypervisor features, focused on security, is welcome news to many admins, but which ones provide the most benefit?
What are the most important features and tactics used for virtual server security?
Continue Reading This Article
Enjoy this article as well as all of our content, including E-Guides, news, tips and more.
Today's hypervisors include more features designed to secure the system and its virtual machines. For example, software acceptance features prevent unsigned software from taking up residence on the system, while integrated firewalls eliminate the need for IP tables and use rules to define port access for every service. Enhanced logging and auditing features track activities on the system and prevent malicious activities from being hidden or erased. In addition, Active Directory integration helps to authenticate users trying to access the virtualized servers.

Important features to consider when buying a hypervisor
Hypervisor security features, however, provide little benefit unless you deploy and configure them with the proper security guidelines. When you install a hypervisor-OS combination such as Windows Server 2012 and Hyper-V, use a Server Core installation or install only that system's essential roles, which minimizes the OS footprint and attack surface. In addition, never run applications -- even seemingly innocuous applications such as DNS servers -- on the Hyper-V server. You should run all virtual server workloads as VMs. If you must install administrator consoles or other management tools, always use strong, confidential logon credentials.
When you configure virtual server management, use a dedicated network adapter as opposed to sharing management traffic on the general LAN. This configuration is particularly important when working with dedicated management modules, such as HP iLO or Dell DRAC. By keeping management traffic on its own internal LAN and away from WANs such as the Internet, you reduce the chance that hackers will take control of the servers. If separate IT staff manage VMs and servers, do not allow VM admins to access the server management tools. This least-privilege consideration limits the number of personnel that can affect system management.
VMs may spend considerable time in a test and development environment before they are considered ready for production, but they can easily miss critical patches and updates during the development period. Always update the OS in any VM before deploying that VM on a production server. You can also enhance security by using encryption tools tied to the server's physical trusted platform module, which encrypts data on the server's local disk drives and prevents data leakage from disk theft.
