Watching Cute Animal Videos Is Key To Relieve Stress
Guest blog post by Sarah Pritzker of Youtubetomp3shark.com.
We've all been there. We've all innocently just scrolled through our social media feeds feeling a bit bored with everyone's posts about how awesome their lives are. Then we come across a video of a cute duckling falling asleep in class. Or a cute puppy getting so excited about the food he's eating, his cute little fluffy butt is all up in the air as he chows down on kibble. And before you know it, you're on YouTube watching cute animal videos one after the other. There is just something about watching those cute animals that somehow makes us happy. Something about their faces, their exuberance, and their clumsiness that makes every worry you have just migrate to the back of your mind for a little while.
If you can't relate to that, however, or you're just not the type to want to watch cuteness overload videos, you might want to give these types of videos another shot. A study published in Computers in Human Behavior has revealed that watching cute cat videos on the internet can boost energy levels and increase feelings of happiness. It suggested that viewing cat videos could be used as a form of online pet therapy or an online form of stress relief.
In a series of studies led by Barbara Fredrickson, researchers found that positive videos, among which are cute animal videos, are the strongest good mood inducers. These videos trumped music and several other mood induction techniques. According to these studies, lifting your mood, called "inducing positive effect" (i.e. watching animal videos as a good mood inducer), can eventually lead to a greater resilience to stress, among other things.
Another study found that just 30 minutes of watching these videos can lower cortisol levels by up to 67 percent and adrenalin by 35 percent. Cortisol and adrenaline are two of the body's major stress hormones. So half an hour of watching cute little animals being their adorable selves can actually help your body get rid of stress hormones.
Researchers from Hiroshima University in Japan conducted a study that revealed that looking at images of cute fuzzy animals can actually improve your work performance and enhance your concentration. The report is entitled "The Power of Kawaii". Kawaii means cute in Japanese. In this study, they divided students into three groups, some being shown pleasant images (like food), and some being shown kawaii images (like kittens and puppies). The group that saw kittens and puppies were more accurate, with scores up to 16% higher than those groups shown pictures of food. That's something you can tell your boss if they ever catch you watching cute animal videos at work.
Now, if all that science and research does not convince you that watching cute animal videos online helps lift your mood and relieve stress, maybe just the sheer feeling of happiness that these cute videos induce will be enough to sway you. You could always keep a copy of these videos and download them in your mobile! So the next time you feel stress at work, or because of exams, give yourself a break and watch some cute animal videos.

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon called on Friday for activists to be discouraged from again setting sail for Gaza, but Ahmet Davutoğlu said it was not within the authority of a democracy to prevent private challenges to an illegal blockade.
"No democratic country can think that they have full control over these NGOs (non-government organisations)," he said.
The killing of nine Turks aboard last year's flotilla caused a diplomatic storm and damaged Israel's ties with Ankara. Israel has tried to mend relations but insists on keeping the blockade.
Davutoğlu said in an interview that warnings about a second international Gaza flotilla should be directed at Israel, which needed to recognize the changing realities in the Middle East.
"Nobody should expect from Turkey and from other (U.N.) member states to forget that nine civilians were killed last year," Davutoğlu told Reuters at his residence in the southern central city of Konya, where he is campaigning for election in a parliamentary poll due on June 12.
"Therefore we are sending a clear message to all those concerned. The same tragedy should not be repeated again."
Pro-Palestinian charities and activists are organizing a second aid flotilla to try to break the Israeli blockade of Gaza, to mark the anniversary of the first attempt.
Davutoğlu repeated Turkey's demands that Israel should end its blockade of the 1.5 million people living in the Hamas-controlled enclave and apologize and pay compensation for the killing of the nine Turks, one of whom was a U.S. citizen.
Israeli marines shot them dead on the Mavi Marmara, the lead vessel in a six-strong flotilla, on May 31 last year.
Davutoğlu said the international community had failed to bring Israel to account despite a U.N. Human Rights Council report that declared Israel's actions unlawful after an investigation boycotted by Israel.
"What is the result? Do we think that one member state is beyond international law?" Davutoğlu said.
A second probe set up by Ban and including an Israeli delegate is still ongoing.
Israel rebuffed the Turkish censure, saying the blockade was a legitimate precaution against arms shipments reaching Islamist Hamas and other Palestinian guerrillas in the Gaza Strip.
In Jerusalem, Deputy Israeli Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon said in a television interview that future flotillas would be stopped for security reasons and because "they want to create a provocation and challenge Israel's sovereignty in the region."
Turkey's friendship with Israel cooled after Prime Minister Tayyip Erdoğan condemned Israel's 2008-2009 war with Hamas, and relations went into deep freeze after the Mavi Marmara incident.
"Israel must accept the (need for an) apology and compensation if they want to be a partner in this region," Davutoğlu said.
He said Israel should recognize the changing landscape of the Middle East by ending the blockade. Egypt's relaxing of travel for Palestinians across its own border with Gaza further obviated the reason for the blockade, he said.
While Davutoğlu's wrath was saved for Israel, Turkey is increasingly concerned by the civil unrest in friend and neighbor Syria, where Ankara vies for influence with Iran.
More than 1,000 people have been killed in a crackdown by President Bashar al-Assad's security forces since pro-democracy protests broke out in Syria in March.
NATO-member Turkey has called repeatedly for an end to the violence, but uses tempered language in dealing with Syria.
"We will continue to work very hard in order to make possible the political transformation in Syria," Davutoğlu said.
He said his government was not involved with a gathering of Syrian opposition groups in the southern Turkish city of Antalya this week, and he had only learnt of it in the media.
Erdoğan, who has urged Assad to make reforms since the "Arab Spring" began, received another assurance when the two leaders spoke by telephone on Friday, Davutoğlu said.
"It is clear that the political will has been reconfirmed," Davutoğlu said. "But we will see what will be the action. This is more important."

How is this going to work?
Step One on the journey will be to go buy some kick ass black undies and accessories that you feel amazing in! They don't have to be gratuitous, just something that reflects who you are. May be you love to wear cosy knee high socks in bed...bring them! Perhaps you have a super cosy cardi that you love...lets make it sexy! There are so many options in the world of lingerie and there is something for everyone. I'll leave the look up to you, just be yourself and you can always ask for some advice.
Step Two I hope to help you see the beautiful things in yourself, things that maybe you had forgotten about or overlooked. We will work together to find out what you want from the session.
Step Three You bring your butt to the studio, we blast some Beyonce, we have a little tipple whilst being pampered and we shoot the shit out of this.
Step Four You end your session and get ready to party with your girls. You are now part of a club of brave women embracing their own image & body type which will empower others in the process.
This shit is already daunting enough, help is at hand with some of our top tips for arriving prepared for your session.
- Bathe, shave and moisturise
- Remove ALL price tags, size & care labels, etc. from clothing, especially from lingerie and panties. They can ruin otherwise great photographs.
- Double-check everything is properly packed and ready for the shoot: heels, jewellery, accessories, props.
- Allow yourself plenty of time to get to the studio without stressing. Check weather and traffic reports to ensure you have allotted enough time for unexpected delays.
- Enjoy a relaxed, quiet evening.
- Plan for a good night's sleep – eight hours is ideal.
- Use only clear deodorant
- Wear loose-fitting clothing to your session to avoid red marks on your skin (no jeans, tight socks or tight clothing, for instance).
- Eat something light but filling before you leave the house.
- Arrive with a clean and moisturized face and CLEAN DAMP HAIR (important!).
- Most important: Take a deep breath and RELAX. It's completely normal to be a little bit nervous before your shoot, but please don't worry because you will be in very good hands. You will be surprised how quickly that subsides when you start feeling like a bad ass! We will show you exactly how to pose and work with you to get the perfect shot.

State transition machines for lambda-calculus expressions
The process of compiler generation from formal definitions of the lambdacalculus is studied. The compiling schemes developed utilize as an object language the set of state transition machines (STMs): automata-like transition sets using first order arguments. An intermediate definition form, the STM_interpreter, is defined and treated as central to the formulation of state transition code. Three compiling schemes are produced: one derived directly from an STM-interpreter; one formulated from a version of Landin's SECD-machine; and one defined through meaning preserving transformations upon a denotational definition of the lambda-calculus itself. The results are compared and some tentative conclusions are made regarding the utility of compiler generation with the use of the STM forms.

I'm including the knife, a bottle of my homemade bourbon, and copies of all my books in the silent auction. Hopefully there will be some guys or gals out there who want a cool custom knife so we can raise some money for a fabulous cause.

My partner and I went hiking yesterday in the Cascades off I-90. It was beautiful, the trees are brilliant yellows, reds and green. It was overcast but that just makes the colors stand out more.
While walking I realized how much gets processed and how amazing it is to just be. There were quite a lot of people around, didn't see them, just heard them and it made me realize how utterly noisy we are as creatures. We have lost our sense of balance in nature and it seems to compensate we create noise. I almost always hike in silence. I stop often and point out small flowers, or places where there are 6 colors of moss and lichens, or a red leaf on a rock by the creek, but I point and smile, I don't yell.
There was this quote I once read and have lost track of but essential it said, "there is no problem in my life I cannot walk away from." I love this for it's metaphysical and physical qualities. I have found in my own life this is true, any depression I have found myself in is healed by the simple act of walking, even just around the block. It's the getting up and starting that's the hard part.
I was reading the next book in this series Artist's Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity. The author talks about adding a weekly walk to your routine. (She does morning pages and artist dates, in case you don't know here work.) She talks about the walk being a place where creative solution happens. For me walking is much like receiving a reflexology treatment, with the added benefit of being in nature. In reality it is a reflexology treatment. If you are wearing the correct shoes, your feet are being moved through all ranges of motion and your body is pumping blood and your feet are being worked by the earth, the tree roots, and the rocks you wander over. I recently read and article on hiking barefoot. I'm not sure I would recommend this activity to most of my clients, but someday I think I will have to try it myself, just for the experience and the extra reflexology you would receive.
Some quick thoughts on hiking shoes. Most are a gimmick and an unnecessary expense. Having said that yes I own a pair, but I also hike a lot and do some really tricky terrains and need some extra ankle support on talus slopes. If you are doing well maintained trails, without huge shifts in terrain your normal tennis shoes or my favorite, Blundstones (Australian for boot), are perfect. If you want the hiking boots, here are my guidelines for a good pair. There must be room in the toe box so you can spread your toes and feel more grounded when walking on rocks, tree trunks, and in slippery or mucky ground. There can't be and excessive mount of room or on steep slopes downhill for an extended period of time you will jam your toes (head reflex) repeatedly and also potentially get blisters on your heel (pelvic/ low back reflex) You must be able to tie the shoe around your foot without pinching, but it must tie snugly so your foot doesn't slip forwards or back causing callousing and blisters. It must be flexible in the arch, not the toe, the arch YES I am serious, you should get some movement in the shoe. The only exception to this rule is if these are boot that you will attach crampon (ice climbing metal spiky things). It is also really nice to have water resistant shoes. In recent testing conducted by me at the local REI there were 10 plus types of hiking shoe/ boot and only one brand fit these criteria. My partner and I have been long time fans of these shoes for outdoor use and if they ever go out of business we will cry. My favorite hiking shoes are made by Vasque but Merrill does ok as well.
"walking should be and effortless exercise" states Wickler, a man whose research we quote often in our foot pain classes at Seattle Reflexology. A podiatrist was once asked what the best exercise for the feet is and he stated there is no comparison to walking. Walk as much as you can, for as long as you can." There will be much more on walking and shoes in the days to come.
Get out, take a walk, enjoy nature and solve all your problems with simple exercise.
Oh and here is the third book in the artist way series that I was referring too Walking in this World

Buying a home may well be the largest financial investment you will ever make. Naturally you will want to know as much as possible about the property before you finalize the purchase at closing. It's important to hire a knowledgeable, independent home inspector for advice on the overall condition of the property. The purchase contract usually requires specific time periods for each inspection, and it's critical that these time frames be met. Usually the cost for any and all inspections and re-inspections are paid by the Buyer. Prices can range from $350 to $500 for whole-house inspections.
Some examples of common inspections are:
Structural - Defects caused by poor construction, soil movement, water or drainage conditions, settlement, fire, etc.
Environmental Hazards - Including asbestos, lead-based paint, radon gas or any other toxic material.
Roof - Can include framing members, decking and shingle condition.
EMP - Electrical, Mechanical and Plumbing - Should include electrical and plumbing systems, built-in appliances, heating and cooling systems, swimming pool/spas, sprinkler systems and security systems.
Septic and Wood Burning Systems - Ask if your inspector is licensed to conduct septic and WETT inspections.
Many companies specialize in only one area of inspection, and others will group several together and offer a package price. Whichever route you go, assure yourself you're getting the inspections you need. Many can be found in the yellow pages.

I want to say thank you so much for your help, Frankies Friends. If it wasn't for your charitable help I would not have been able to gets my dog Roman's, a 2 year old German Shepard, broken leg fixed at all.
Not too long ago I lost my father. I'm helping out our family but after trying to pay off funeral and bills from that and only working part time my wife and I found ourselves becoming low income New Yorker's with a 2-year old baby and struggling to get back to where we were. Not having credit and nobody wanting to help out, we had nowhere to turn to for help. Frankies Friends is the saving grace that came to help us out. I still can't believe there is such a wonderful charity out there like them. I can't say enough good things about them.
Everybody out there please donate to them cause they are a wonderful charity and can help you out, but only if you help by donating to them.
Thank you so much Frankies Friends.

On Monday, Nov. 5, a federal court judge granted final approval of an agreement reached by the city of Laguna Beach in June to settle a 2015 federal class action lawsuit filed by the Americans Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) on behalf of homeless individuals. No money changed hands as a result of the settlement agreement, which also prevents members of the class from filing a multitude of potential similar future claims against the city.
"Though we are pleased with the outcome, the money and time we've spent over the last three years defending ourselves against the unfounded allegations in this lawsuit would have been better spent elsewhere," said Laguna Beach City Manager John Pietig. "We are ready to move on and put this behind us."
Since August 2015, the city has defended itself against the ACLU's claims relating to city programs, services and facilities that benefit homeless individuals. City officials said in a statement that most of the lawsuit's initial claims have all but vanished. The ACLU dropped its demand that the city fund, construct and operate permanent supportive housing for homeless persons. In addition, the court denied the ACLU's request for an injunction to prevent Laguna Beach Police from enforcing laws prohibiting lodging and camping on public property.
"The agreement outlines that the city will continue certain policies, programs, and services already in place and will take certain additional actions with regard to homeless individuals, particularly with reference to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the operation of the Alternative Sleeping Location (ASL)," said City Attorney Phil Kohn.
Since 2009, the Friendship Shelter has operated the ASL under a contract with the city. As the only year-round emergency shelter program of its kind in southern Orange County, the Laguna Beach ASL provides a place for up to 45 people to sleep each night, offering showers, hot meals, clean laundry facilities, sleeping mats, warm blankets, and a case worker to connect homeless individuals with services and resources. It currently costs the city $400,000 to operate the facility each year with a small portion of the operating costs covered by a Community Development Block Grant. To date, the city has provided over 139,230 bed nights to homeless in need. The city has also been successful in reuniting homeless individuals with their families and, with the assistance of the Friendship Shelter, has facilitated the placement of numerous others in transitional and permanent supportive housing.
"The city pioneered its own homeless program in 2007 because of the number of homeless camping and sleeping in Heisler Park and on Main Beach, many using picnic tables as beds and building tents in public places," said Laguna Beach Mayor Kelly Boyd. "We took action to aid the homeless and help them in locating more stable housing arrangements."
As part of the settlement agreement, the city and the Friendship Shelter are also creating a pilot program at the shelter for day-time services and a streamlined enrollment process that gives priority to Laguna Beach locals and those homeless who are the most vulnerable. Those who qualify for enrollment may be granted a bed at the ASL for a period of up to 30 days, which is expected to enhance efforts to secure transitional and permanent supportive housing. Currently, there are more than 85 formerly homeless men and women participating in the program who have been placed in housing throughout South Orange County.
"If you look at any city in Orange County, Laguna Beach stands out as a leader in providing shelter and services to homeless individuals," Boyd said. "Anyone who says different is simply looking for either money or headlines, or both."

NEWS AND COMMENT FROM CHRIS LESLIE MP – Friday 10th February 2017
(for more news also see my Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/chrislesliemp)
Parliament has been dominated by the Brexit 'Article 50' legislation this week – and I tried hard to amend the Bill in order to restrain Theresa May's headlong rush towards the 'hard Brexit' cliff-edge. Unfortunately there weren't enough Conservative moderate MPs willing to support some of the changes I proposed, so the Bill now goes to the House of Lords for them to consider. I've described a bit more about the Parliamentary process on this in the news section below.
Britain's place in the world is now changing rapidly. The disconnection from Europe is driving Government Ministers towards new trading alliances with non-European countries, and although I am happy to see progressive trade deals develop, I worry about the unrealistic naivety of a British Government thinking that a deal with Donald Trump will be generous to us and fit with British values. Britain's role should be to promote fairness, the rule of law and equal opportunities. My concern is that severing our best relationships with other progressive European countries will reduce our impact in this regard.
This week has been disheartening and a reminder that a progressive majority in Parliament really is conspicuous by its absence. I am conscious of the need for the Opposition to be far more effective – and to put more fight into defending the values that are so clearly at risk worldwide.
- Today's news that more patients than ever have waited more than four hours in accident and emergency units in England is a stark reminder of the increasing pressures on NHS resources. I visited our local Emergency Department at Queen's Medical Centre on Thursday to see for myself the hard work and dedication of Nottingham's NHS staff. It's been a tough December and January at QMC but intensive efforts to improve patient flow through the hospital and joint working with local social services does seem to have been making a difference in recent weeks and today's waiting times were better. But the overall trend is of more complex cases, from older patients, presenting more frequently and leading to bed shortages. It was very useful to talk with medical practitioners and managers to hear about recent trends and they reiterated the importance of adding on a new primary & urgent care facility alongside the Emergency Department at QMC to bolster capacity and take pressure off the most acute services. I'll be redoubling my efforts to persuade Government Ministers to fast-track the capital investment we need for this facility, coupled with the staffing resource funding to make it work. The NHS is a cherished institution for our community and now is the time to reform and improve the frontline of emergency care so it can be fit for the 21st century.
- This week I visited the Jericho Road Project, a charity which has been working with women in prostitution for over 15 years, supporting them by providing food, benefits and housing advice and offering companionship. It was good to visit their premises and talk with the team and also quite a revelation to hear about the gradual shift from 'on street' prostitution to 'online' prostitution –which is obviously much harder to monitor and police.
- On Thursday I visited the Nottingham Alevi Cultural Centre. There are around 300,000 Alevis living in the UK, mostly originally from Turkey, and the Nottingham Alevi Cultural Centre estimate that there are around 1,000 Alevis in the Nottingham area who use their centre. I met members of the charity's board and discussed their future plans for the Alevi community in Nottingham.
- A new Ofsted report has found that Jamia al-Hudaa Residential College in Mapperley Park is still not meeting standards following their previous inspection in April 2016. While some improvements have been made, Ofsted have concluded that the school is still not meeting all independent school standards. It is deeply concerning that standards are not improving sufficiently at this school – there are children being adversely affected and it's not unreasonable for the Department for Education to intervene.
- I was sorry to hear of the death of Sir Peter Mansfield, the Nobel laureate who invented the MRI scanner and who worked as a physics lecturer at the University of Nottingham for thirty years from 1964. He achievements were truly world-changing and the 3D images of the body have provided a massive leap forward for medicine.
- Places at the Nottingham Kashmir Roundtable discussion I'm hosting on Friday 24th February are filling up fast. If you or a group you represent have a keen interest in the issues affecting the Kashmiri community, please email to let me know as space is limited and it would be good to have voices from a cross-section of opinion. We will be taking stock of the current situation in Kashmir, discussing the work of existing groups and organisations and thinking about other campaigns and representations that might be made.
- I understand that the transfer of the Co-op Food Stores shop and staff on 684 Mansfield Road in Sherwood into new ownership of the 'Food Retailer Group' have hit a big problem, with that firm now going into liquidation. This could clearly have sad implications for the staff concerned who were transferred, facing the prospect of redundancy. I am told that the Coop Group are going to try to see if they can help find alternative work for those staff and protect pensions and redundancy pay.
- It's been wall-to-wall Brexit this week in the Commons with MPs totally absorbed in the limited debating time granted on the massive issue of Britain's withdrawal from the European Union. This is surely one of the most important issues for a generation – yet Government Ministers have strained every sinew to prevent democratically elected MPs from involvement in the decisions that flow from the referendum result. Setting aside the irony of those who argued that the British Parliament must 'take back control' now doing all they can to thwart parliamentary consent, it is only because the Supreme Court reinforced the duty of MPs to make these final decisions that the Bill arrived in the first place. While I couldn't ignore the democratic outcome of the referendum I voted for, hence my decision to abstain at third reading, I do believe that all those other questions not on the ballot paper must be given more careful thought, deliberation and scrutiny. That's why I tabled more amendments than any other MP to the legislation – and why the vote on my 'new clause 110' produced such a close result on Tuesday during the committee stage. We didn't have quite enough votes to win it at this stage, but the principle that Parliament should have a meaningful vote on the new draft Treaty, or on whatever our future relationship will be following the negotiations, is a very important one. My proposal was that British MPs should be able to have the final say on this, in advance of consideration by the European Parliament and EU Council of Ministers. Giving unilateral power to the Prime Minister would be a step away from the national consensus we ought to seek going forward. Two years of negotiations will be a difficult journey but at the end of that road lies a cliff edge. We may have an option to bridge across that canyon or we may then take a leap into the abyss. Either way, it should be Parliament's decision, not something left to the Crown prerogative. Take for example a circumstance where the EU27 countries offer a deal to the UK that could salvage some of the benefits of Single Market tariff-free trade, but the Prime Minister turns it down and opts for WTO conditions instead. Despite what fleetingly sounded like a 'concession' from Ministers on this, it became clear as the debate progressed that in fact the Prime Minister has no intention at all of allowing a vote on such circumstances. So we could lose a good deal and fall off the cliff edge, with no reference to Parliament whatsoever! This is clearly unacceptable, and a number of eminent MPs from parties other than mine also agreed in the Tuesday vote. The ridiculous curtailing of debate to only three days in committee stage makes a mockery of the role Parliament should be playing and means we won't have the chance to vote on other amendments touching on some other vital questions. Hopefully the House of Lords will do the careful diligent scrutiny that the Commons have been prevented from doing. Workers' rights? Environmental cooperation? Trade and competition policy? Businesses and financial services? All issues MPs couldn't vote on but deserve attention. In truth, this Bill is probably the last substantive chance for Parliament to tell Ministers the priorities of their constituents. I will keep fighting to avoid the UK falling off the cliff edge and Parliament is our last best hope for restraining those who would lead us down the path to a hard Brexit. The Bill now goes up to the Lords for consideration. I hope it will return to the Commons with a few of the basic safeguards for the rights of our constituents and for Parliament – and we can then persuade other like-minded colleagues to keep that right to check the power of the Prime Minister.
- Parliament will take a break with a short half-term recess next week, so these MP Updates will return the week after next.
The nature of employment contracts and the workplace are rapidly changing – and the large number of 'Deliveroo' cyclists across the city are a reminder of the so-called 'gig economy' where short-term, temporary work is often provided without the long term security that once existed.
Today's Court of Appeal ruling which backed up the case of a plumber who wanted to reduce his working days following a heart attack was instructive; the court ruled that even though the plumber was technically 'self-employed' he was entitled to basic workers' rights. This was the case of an individual who worked solely for Pimlico Plumbers for six years, even though he was separately registered for VAT and paid tax on a self-employed basis.
I'd be interested to know if you or those you know have had any experiences with this emerging 'grey area' of the 'flexible' labour market. Are the concepts of 'part-time' or 'fixed-term' contracts now disappearing in favour of the zero-hours arrangement? Or are employers and employees finding new flexibilities to suit new circumstances? Is the law providing the right safeguards? I'd be interested in your thoughts.

text: justaman Posted May 8, 2012 I played Man Utd today. My youngsters did very well on positioning and passing. It was 0-0 and one of my strikers got a 1vs1 with the goalie. He was far from the defenders. Instead of going into the box and round the goalie he took a shot outside the penalty area. Of course he sky-ed it. What made me mad was Man Utd was given a penalty like 5 mins later (85th min) and they won 0-1. All my hard work to set up the tatics and all was dumped. Never seen my strikers round the goalie they always take the hard way. I don't know why? I guess because it's Man Utd they have to win? This made me believe this game is somewhat scripted. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The first recorded use of chives occurred in China in about 3000 B.C.1 Some say that Marco Polo brought the idea to use chives back with him from the East. (Marco Polo is credited with many of these types of idea migrations.) In any case there is no real evidence for their common use until about the 1500s when they found their way into both dishes and herb gardens2.
Like many of our words for herbs, "chive" comes to us from the Latin and via Old French. It originally comes from cepa (Latin) and cive (Old French). The first recorded use for the world in English was around 1400. The botanical name actually comes from the Greek meaning, "reed-like leek"3.
Chives are native to both Europe and Asia. It grows wild all across both regions, but there are slight variations in different locations. A variety found in the Alps is the one nearest to what is generally cultivated today. Medieval gardeners often planted chives around the borders for both decoration and to ward off harmful insects. It was thought that hanging bunches of chives around a house could also ward off evil.
Over a century ago chives were used by Gypsies in fortune telling. One can imagine holding a bunch like pixy-sticks and casting them onto a bare wooden table, an ancient woman in a babushka pushing her finger through the arrangement and coming up with some predictions based on the configuration. However, today we do not know the exact procedure used.
In the west, chives came to be used in creams and sauces, and especially associated with potatoes. In Asia, we frequently find chives in soups.

Spider season is here! It's the time of the year when those creepy crawlies emerge from the corners of your home and more and more webs start to appear!
You've probably seen your friends sharing pictures of giant spiders they've found in their homes on social media, and you've probably already noticed the cobwebs in your home.
September is known as the spider season as it's the time of year when male spiders usually go on the hunt for a mate, which often leads to them creeping into your home.
We know that not everyone loves it when spiders move in and become unwanted house guests, so we've shared some top tips on how to tackle those webs and send spiders crawling out of your home.
Vacuuming your home regularly will not only keep it clean, but it will also suck up webs. Make sure you get into in the corners of the room and behind the sofa and radiator too, as this is where spiders are likely to set up camp. Our VD15 Variable Nozzle attachment, which attaches to our Kobold VK200 Upright Vacuum Cleaner, can reach difficult spots thanks to the pull out extension and flexible joint attachment which has a 90 degree rotation.
We don't always pay attention to our ceilings but this is often a place where webs are lurking. The VK200'S TR15 Telescopic Tube attachment is perfect for removing spider webs from ceilings, lamps and curtain rails without using wobbly ladders.
Tackle webs with a feather duster, or better yet, use the VK200's SD15 Soft Nozzle attachment. The SD15 agitates dust with its soft bristles and sucks the dust straight into the machine.
Spiders feed on insects so try and keep insects out of your home by keeping your windows and doors closed. Avoid using bright lights in your home, as insects are attracted to light.

Through the X and XI mile, beyond Comune di Roma boundaies, after crossing Via Capanne di Marino with great care, you can cycle near vineyards and archaeological ruins until the railway underpass. The archaeological area of Santa Maria delle Mole starts here, after crossing Via della Repubblica you can continue to climb the last kilometre to the Lazio's Vulcan.
Typology: historical route in a characteristic landscape.

• For the sake of convenience the routes proposed all set off from the Park headquarters where bicycles can be hired at weekends and holidays (this service is shortly to be extended to weekdays too). We would like to remind those coming from close to the Park that the headquarters are about 3 km from the Colosseum.
• Length indicates the whole round trip.
• Some of the routes proposed are on public roads open to traffic: we advise you to keep to the right and take particular care crossing.
• On Sundays and public holidays via Appia Antica is shut to private vehicles from 9.00 to 16.00 in the winter and from 9.00 to 18.00 in spring and summer.
• On the stretches of via Appia Antica paved with the original flagstones we advise you to dismount.
- sounds fun ! a real cobblestone experience?

Working from home can have good and bad points. One of the good points is being able to claim a home office for a tax deduction. It's always best to consult with an accountant in South Jersey before deciding to claim a home office, as you'll need to make sure you are meeting all of the requirements.
There are 2 methods for claiming a home office deduction.
The simplified option can significantly reduce the recordkeeping burden by allowing a qualified taxpayer to multiply a prescribed rate by the allowable square footage of the office in lieu of determining actual expenses. The simplified option is effective starting on, or after, January 1, 2013 (filed beginning in 2014).
The regular method for claiming a home office (required for tax years 2012 and prior) requires a lot of recordkeeping and you must determine the actual expenses of your home office. These expenses can include mortgage interest, insurance, utilities, repairs, and depreciation. When using the regular method, deductions for a home office are typically based on the percentage of your home devoted to business use.
Requirements for Claiming a Home Office Tax Deduction
Whether you choose the simplified option or regular method, there are two requirements for your home to qualify as a deduction:
- Regular and Exclusive Use.The part of your home must be used regularly and exclusively for conducting business. An example of this would be an extra room to run your business, which would allow you to take a home office deduction for that extra room.
- Principal Place of Your Business.Your home must prove to be your principal place of business. If you happen to conduct business at a location outside of your home, but also use your home substantially and regularly to conduct business, you may still qualify for a home office deduction. You can view more details about this here: Home Office Deduction.
There are some additional tests and requirements that you can view at the IRS website by clicking here.
You should see the professional advice of a certified public accountant. They can properly assess your situation and determine whether you qualify or not. Contact us today and we'll be happy to assist you.

In Tuenti we have had to deal with this kind of problems in different situations. One clear example is the Tuenti chat: we want to notify the user about new messages playing a notification sound, but we don't want to play it when the user is already paying attention to the conversation, we only want to play the notification sound when the page is in background to take the user's attention.
To achieve this we listen to different browser events to determine whether the user is actually using Tuenti at that moment or not. These are some of the events we listen to:
focus and
blur events in
When a user enters to your page, the browser fires a
focus event in the
window object. In the same way, when the user changes to a different tab or application, the browser fires a
blur event.
Taking this into account, it's pretty simple to determine whether the user is in your tab:
var inTab = true; window.addEventListener('focus', function () { inTab = true; }); window.addEventListener('blur', function () { inTab = false; });
Pretty simple, isn't it?
Well… it depends on what you really need. With this simple code you can know whether the user is in your tab, but what happens if the user is in your tab but he has left the computer and is in the bathroom?
So we don't only need to know if the user is in our tab but also if he is using it. To solve this problem we could connect the laptop webcam and spy the user, but probably our users wouldn't like that. So we can use a simpler (and more privacy respectful) solution:
We can listen to DOM user interaction events to know if the user is actually using the page, and when we have not heard any event for a given time span (for example 30 seconds) we can assume the user is not active. Some events we can listen to are:
keydown, etc (for desktop devices), or
touchmove, etc. (for mobile devices).
So we can attach some event listeners to the
document and toggle the
inTab variable in the previous example to
true. But, when we change it to
false? when it has elapsed 30 seconds since the last event. This behavior can be implemented with a
setTimeout, but we also need to reset that timeout (with a
clearTimeout) when we hear a new event.
We can express this solution with a simple state machine:
Ok, beautiful, let's implement it. You don't need to do it! because we have already done it and opensourced a library that you can use:
We distribute the lib in npm, so you can install it with a simple command:
$ npm install --save activity-detector
// 1. import the lib: import createActivityDetector from 'activity-detector'; // 2. create an activity-detector instance: const activityDetector = createActivityDetector(); // 3. subscribe to events activityDetector.on('idle', () => { console.log('The user is not interacting with the page'); }); activityDetector.on('active', () => { console.log('The user is using the page'); });
How this work? the library implements the algorithm we have presented in the previous state machine diagram. When you create an instance of
activity-detector you can subscribe to the events
active and
idle. Those events will be triggered when the user becomes ACTIVE or INACTIVE respectively.
And that's all. Now you can detect when your user is using your page or not.
activity-detector lib?
Of course, we have a production ready build (UMD format) that you can simply include in your page with a simple
<script> tag, or require it with any module loader (like require.js). You can find it here.
For example:
test activity detector
activity-detector supports different config options to customize its behavior if you have different needs. For example you can decide which user events should be considered, or defer the
activity-detector initialization. For example:
const activityDetector = createActivityDetector({ timeToIdle: 10000, // wait 10s of inactivity to consider the user is idle });
You can see the different options reading the docs in the github repo:
If you like it and think it's useful don't forget to star it. And if you miss some feature or find a bug please open an issue or, even better, send us a pull request!
Yesterday, we had the people from MadridJS user group in our Madrid offices talking about "Javascript and Websockets". This time, the speakers were David and Rubén Chavarri who have been working in USA for five years and now they are back to try to run great projects like PartyRocking. They talked about async communication using websockets, good practices and the current Gaming atmosphere where performance is not a problem anymore because of platform like CocoonJS and Famo.us.
You can find more upcoming events related to this group on their meetup page. Thank everyone for coming, we had lots of fun! :)
Here at Tuenti, we believe that Continuous Integration is the way to go in order to release in a fast, reliable fashion, and we apply it to every single level of our stack. Talking about CI is the same as talking about testing, which is critical for the health of any serious project. The bigger the project is, the more important automatic testing becomes. There are three requirements for testing something automatically:
This is how we tackled the problem.
We use the YUI as the main JS library in our frontend, so our JS-CI need to be YUI compliant. There are very few tools that allow a JS-CI, and we went for JSTestDriver at the beginning but quickly found two main problems:
Therefore, we had to build our own framework to execute tests, keeping all of the requirements in mind. Our efforts were focused on keeping it as simple as possible, and we decided to use the YUI testing libraries (and Sinon as mocking framework) because they allowed us to maintain each test properly isolated as well as proper reporting using XML or JSON and human-readable formats at the same time.
This consisted in solving the simpler use case first (execute one test in a browser) and then iterate from there. A very simple PHP framework was put together to go through the JS module directories identifying the modules with tests (thanks to a basic naming convention) and execute them. The results were shown in a human-readable way and in an XML in-a-box.
PHP is required because we want to use a lot of the tools that we have already implemented in PHP related to YUI (dependency map generation server side, etc.).
After that, we wrote a client using Selenium/Webdriver so that the computer-readable results could be easily gathered, combined, and shown in report.
At this point in the project:
That was enough to allow us to execute them hundreds of times a day.
Another important aspect of testing is knowing the coverage of your codebase. Due to the nature of our codebase and how we divide everything into modules that work together, each module may have dependencies with others, despite the fact that our tests are meant to be designed per-module.
Most of the dependencies are mocked with SinonJS, but there are also tests that don't. Since a test in a module can exercise another, we can decide to compute coverage "as integration tests" or with a per-module approach.
The first alternative would instrument all of the code (with YUI Test) before running the tests, so if a module is exercised, it may be due to a test that is meant to exercise another module. An approach like that may encourage developers to create acceptance tests instead of unit tests.
Since we wanted to encourage developers to create unit tests for every module, the decision was finally taken to compute the coverage with a per-module approach. This way, we instrument only the code of the module being tested and ignore the others.
To make this happen, we moved the run operation from the PHP framework to a JS runner because that allowed for some of the required operations to get the coverage as instrument and de-instrument the code before and after running the tests.
Once the test is executed, the final test coverage report is generated, so it would be unnecessary to integrate with our current Jenkins infrastructure and setup all the jobs to generate the report. Coverage generation requires about 50% more time than regular test execution, but it's absolutely worth it.
There is more work that can be done at this point, such as improving the performance by executing tests in parallel or force a minimal coverage for each module, but we haven't done this yet because we think that the coverage is only a measure of untested code and it doesn't ensure the quality of the tests.
It is much more important to have a testing culture than just get the metrics of the code.
Last 30th November some of us attended to the first dotJS, the largest JavaScript Conference in France. Although it wasn't planned, I had the chance to talk about solutions to synchronize events in JS and not give up in trying.
Does that sound familiar to you? Check the presentation out!
We have recently released the #1 requested feature at Tuenti, group chat.
It has been a titanic effort, months of developing the server code, client side code, and systems new infrastructure to support this highly anticipated feature. But was it so big as to take so much time?
Since 2010 improvements have been made to the chat server code (Ejabberd, using Erlang as the programming language), achieving important performance gains and lowering the server resource consumption.
We had approximately 3x better performance than a vanilla Ejabberd setup, which taking into account that we currently have more than 400M daily chat messages is not bad at all.
We also had 20 chat server machines, each running on average 6 instances of Ejabberd, and behaving even too well, under their capabilities, so resharding the machines and setting up a load balancer was appealing.
Chat history was almost done, but we had to add support of group chat. It is one of the first projects we do with HBase instead of MySQL as the storage layer.
The messages delivery system (aka message receipts) was also quite advanced in its development, but not yet finished. It uses a simple flow of Sent -> Delivered -> Read states.
Multi-presence means being able to open multiple browser windows and/or multiple mobile devices and not losing the chat connection at any of them (up to a maximum). In order to achieve this the server side logic needs to handle not only jabber ids but also resources, so that the same JID can be connected from multiple sources at the same time.
The "new Tuenti": This new version of the main website required to focus great part of the technical resources of the company. The team in charge of the Chat not only has that responsibility, so we had to dedicate engineers to build parts of the new website.
As it implied a complete new visual look, the chat had to change its appearance too.
And of course, the group chat.
The web chat it is a full Javascript client, only using Flash for videochat. We use a modified opensource Javascript XMPP library, JSJaC, tailored to our needs.
A rough schematic architecture of the chat client is:
The code has been working perfectly and with almost no client-side maintenance since it was launched in 2009, just adding new features and visual style changes.
New cluster: It works really good. Now we not only have load balancing, but also we can perform upgrades on one leaf and keep the chat up with the other leaf's nodes.
Each node now has 10 machines running up to 4 instances per machine, so we actually do more with less hardware.
Cleaner, up to date code: Now we have inheritance in the chat client code, allowing to avoid repeating code by having a base chat room, then one-to-one and group rooms. Data-related classes are also now better separated from UI-related ones, a lot of the code now has lots of comments, we have private and public fields (by convention, not enforced by any javascript framework).
Many events are now handled by YUI and we have dozens of javascript files that are still bundled into one when we deploy the code live, so it eases a lot the development.
Overall, now the client will support future enhancements and additions quite faster.
Fast, very fast: Server side code is even faster. More optimized, more adapted to our needs, being able to handle up to 13 times more messages at once! Custom XMPP stanzas have been built to allow fast but correct delivery.
Everything works as expected: We didn't had to do any tradeoffs due to technical limitations. We have kept the same browsers support (including IE7) and all features work as the original requisites defined.
Two UIs co-exist happily: Both versions of www.tuenti.com, each with their distinct UI, share all inner code and are easy to extend.
Ran two projects in parallel: Along with housekeeping tasks, the team had other high priority projects to work on, which took resources and time out of the group chat. Bad timing made half of the client side team dedicated to building the "new Tuenti" instead of bringing the full power until last stages of development.
One step at a time: Tuenti has migrated almost all client side code to use Yahoo's YUI library. We had to migrate the chat client, plus do a huge code refactor to add support of group chats, plus visual changes of the new website, plus new features (chat history, receipts...). This generated a lot of overhead and a first phase of code instability where we didn't know quickly if a bug was due to the refactor, due to YUI or due to a new feature not yet finished.
Probably would have been much better to first migrate to the new framework, then refactor and then apply the visual changes and implement or finish the new features.
Single responsibility principle: A class should have only one single responsibility. By far, the biggest and hardest part of the refactor was to separate the original User class into ChatUser and ChatRoom. We couldn't think about group chat back in 2009, but we estimated too optimistically the impact of this change when planning the group chat.
Lack of client side tests: Old chat client had no tests, so QA has to manually test everything and this generated too a lot of overhead.
We are now getting ready a client side testing environment and framework to have the new chat codebase bug-free.
CSS 3 selectors performance: With the multipresence and the new social application, all users now have many more friends online or reachable via mobile device at once. Rendering hundreds of chat friends, plus some performance-wise dangerous CSS 3 selectors hit us in the late stages of development.
We hurried to do some fixes and we are still improving performance as some browsers still suffer a bit from the amount of DOM nodes plus CSS matching rules.
