On the Mat, Over the Board: Yoga & Chess |
By Melinda J. Matthews | |
March 29, 2014 | |
When I first floated the idea of a chess and yoga piece
to CLO editor Jennifer Shahade, I had no real idea about how I would pull it
off, except I knew I should probably start by finding some technical data to
support my vague theories. As I searched
for the connections between serious chess study and a strong yoga practice, I
was surprised to learn that both disciplines have their roots in India
(yes, I'll admit to being somewhat ignorant about chess history). The game credited as chess' forerunner is
called chaturanga. Chaturanga also
happens to be the name of a common yoga posture. The shared element between the two is the
word itself, which derives from the Sanskrit "chatur" (four) and "anga"
(limbs). In yoga, chaturanga translates to "four-limbed staff pose" and is basically what we know in the west as a push up. The game chaturanga is based upon the four divisions (limbs) of a Vedic army: elephants, chariots, horse cavalry, and foot soldiers. The rules are very similar to modern chess. For details about how chaturanga is played, check out this description on the Ancient Chess website: http://www.chessvariants.org/historic.dir/chaturanga.html Chaturanga, the game, Photo: http://allencentre.wikispaces.com/Chess I also uncovered some interesting tales about chess players who practice(d) yoga. Perhaps the most famous (or infamous) story belongs to Viktor Korchnoi. At the 1978 World Chess Championship, Korchnoi, the underdog against reigning champion Anatoly Karpov, was down 4-1 after 17 games (six games were needed to win; draws didn't count). Mentally exhausted, Korchnoi left the site to recuperate; while away, he met two yoga practitioners who started him on a regular yoga and meditation practice (the yogis, it turned out, had shady pasts, but that's another story). Renewed, Korchnoi embarked on an astonishing comeback over Karpov, winning one game, drawing eight, then winning three in a row. Korchnoi credited his amazing streak to his new yoga regime (though eventually he lost after an exhausting 32 games). He ended the tournament by demonstrating yoga postures to the press: GM Viktor Korchnoi demonstrating Shoulderstand (Salamba Sarvangasana), Photo and more details on GM Kevin Spragget's blog. Rock star Sting is another outspoken yoga devotee and avid chess player who once participated in a televised simul against Garry Kasparov. Kasparov defeated him and four of his band mates within 50 minutes. Sting and Kasparov play while the press looks on, More details in chessninja And Ylon Schwartz, Poker champion and FIDE Master, attends Bikram yoga classes regularly (Bikram's a hot yoga offshoot in which the room is heated up to 105 degrees). He's stated that yoga helps keep him in strong mental and physical shape. Finally, I discovered a former chess player, Swami Shankarananda, who became a meditation master and founder of the Shiva School of Meditation and Yoga (http://shivayoga.org/). Swami Shankarananda During his active chess-playing days, Swami Shankarananda competed on Columbia University's chess team, formed an unlikely friendship with Bobby Fischer, and faced a few grandmasters, notably Mikhail Tal, whom he defeated in a simul. Although his life's path led him away from chess, in the mid-eighties he returned to competitive tournament play to see if his yoga and meditation practice would help him attain the Master title. He was successful in his attempt and gives much of the credit to his practice. But despite unearthing all sorts of interesting, informative tidbits, what I didn't uncover, truthfully, is a bounty of medical and statistical evidence directly linking yoga to chess. Most of the connections between the two are anecdotal and based upon others' experiences. However, studies have shown that a regular yoga practice can enhance and support many other disciplines, including chess. Yoga for Chess Players - some mental benefits Just as many labor under the misguided impression of chess players as esoteric geeks, others think of yoga only in physical terms. The majority of inquires I receive about my yoga classes usually begin with the following phrase: "I'm interested, but I'm not at all flexible." Western notions of yoga have honed in on the physical, driven by the media-fueled fantasy of achieving a tight and toned yoga butt as the overriding goal. But the real intent of asanas - the physical practice - is to prepare the body for quieting the mind, thereby allowing long and physically comfortable meditations. Complicated poses were not created to show off flexibility; instead, they serve to still the mind by keeping you rooted in the moment. After all, it's pretty hard to balance on one leg, limbs wrapped up in knots, when your mind is wandering to what's for dinner. And cultivating a strong focus, perhaps, is one of the best reasons for serious chess players to pursue yoga as a complementary practice. Many people - not just chess players - turn to yoga because they've heard it reduces stress. Absolutely true! In this case, quite a few scientific studies support this notion: it's been proven that yoga's emphasis on marrying breath to movement - taking those long, deep, full, mindful inhales and exhales - helps decrease the sympathetic nervous system's fight-or-flight response, thereby increasing relaxation. A very easy technique that provides almost instant stress relief is to simply breathe in and out through your nostrils mindfully. Focus on the quality of your inhalations and exhalations, and see if you can match them in length and intensity. For increased benefits, eventually lengthen your exhalation up to two times longer than your inhalation. Try breathing this way the next time you're feeling pressure during a critical match and notice how your mind begins to settle down - internal calm amidst external chaos. Yoga for Chess Players - a physical practice Of course, practicing postures has its own benefits. Increased flexibility allows for long stretches of sitting comfortably, something that players locked in a four- to six-hour game (or longer) can appreciate. Of all my encroaching old-age ailments, a sore back or stiff neck and shoulders are not among them. Flexing the spine regularly - forward bends, backbends, sun salutations, twists - keeps physical discomfort at bay. Below are a few yoga postures that would be particularly suited to chess players. To show how accessible yoga is to everyone, tournament director Michael Hutsko and fellow yogini Lisa Fuller joined my son, Nicky, and me to demonstrate these poses. Back Health. For back flexibility, nothing beats spinal twists. Twists help restore or maintain the spine's natural range of motion, which can easily be lost if you're sedentary (i.e., spending too much time sitting at the board!). Twists also promote mental clarity by stimulating circulation. The act of twisting is often likened to wringing out a sponge: Our organs are compressed during a twist, which squeezes out stale blood. When we release the twist, fresh, oxygen-rich blood flows in. As with almost every yoga posture, there are many variations on this theme, from a basic sitting posture and gentle twist of the torso to a complicated bind. Here's one popular spinal twist, Half Lord of the Fishes (Ardha Matsyendrasana): Tournament move. During your next long match, try this easy twist when your brain begins to fog: simply grasp the back of your chair seat and start to turn in the direction of the hand behind you. Make sure you keep your spine and head straight and your shoulders down. Continue a steady rotation from your lower back (not your neck), visualizing a gentle wringing motion starting from the base of your spine. Direct your gaze over your shoulder without craning your neck. Remain in this position, allowing each exhale to twist you ever-so-slightly deeper, and slowly unwind whenever you're ready. Repeat on the other side. Chest Openers. Long hours spent hunching over the board can cave the chest, creating tension in the shoulders and the back and making breathing shallower. Chest openers counter the effects of slumping by creating space for the lungs to expand, sliding the shoulders back into place, and relieving upper back tension by stretching the front chest muscles. These are just a few poses that help open the chest, starting with Camel (Ustrasana) to the more advanced Wheel (Urdhva Dhanurasana): The Warriors I, II, and III series (Virabhadrasana) and Reverse Warrior (Viparita Virabhadrasana) are multi-tasking poses that provide multiple benefits. Warrior I and Reverse Warrior, in particular, are great chest openers. From left to right: Tournament move. You can do this chest opener from your chair: clasp your hands behind your back, palms facing up. Rotate your shoulders up, roll them back and down, then drop your shoulder blades down your back (imagine the points of two pizza slices sliding down and locking into place). If this feels comfortable, open up a little more - squeeze those pizza slices together while expanding through your upper chest - and lift your gaze to the ceiling without hyper-extending your neck. Balance and Focus. Balance poses demand our full, immediate, and concentrated attention in ways other poses may not. The instant our minds shift away, even slightly, we lose the pose. And so, in order to achieve balance, we are forced to drop all extraneous thoughts to focus solely on the task at hand. Many report that this "fluid stability" imparts deep, focused calm and serenity. Mentally, balance poses help us realize that fear of falling (or failing) is simply a product of our own egos: We feel out of control when we lose our balance, and our egos hate losing control. The well-known Downward-Facing Dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana) is another pose that examines a balanced push-pull dynamic: movement in one direction is offset and enhanced by an action in the opposite direction. In this posture, you are simultaneously creating strength and flexibility, extension and stability. Philosophically and spiritually, this corresponds to the meaning of hatha yoga as the union of the sun and moon, the masculine and feminine. Tournament move. While you can't pull off most balance poses without standing up (thereby calling attention to yourself), they're an excellent way to re-engage a mind that may be losing focus. So if you don't mind looking a little odd, try this relatively inconspicuous pose: Stand with your spine straight, keeping your head and neck aligned (imagine a string being pulled up your back, through your neck and head, straight out of your crown). Keep your feet parallel and close to each other (touching if that works for you), legs straight but not clenched. Roll your shoulders and shoulder blades back and down (remember that pizza?), allowing your hands to fall alongside your hips, palms facing forward. Seems simple so far, right? Now close your eyes. Focus on your breath, notice your body's subtle waves and micro-movements, and try to still them. Stress relief. To counteract the effects of a long, concentrated match, nothing beats knowing how to fully relax. Corpse (Savasana) can move you into a deep state of conscious relaxation that helps dissolve stress and tension from your mind and body. This yoga posture seems deceptively simple, but, as in every yoga pose, correct alignment and positioning are key. In the beginning, you may have difficulty quieting your spinning "monkey mind," especially if you're a Type A personality, but with time and practice, eventually you'll reap enormous benefits from this highly-healing posture. Tournament move. Resting in Savasana isn't particularly appropriate during a match, but breathing is! Whenever stress begins to overtake you, revert to the breathing technique outlined earlier in this article. Close your eyes to further blot out distractions. These are just a few out of hundreds of yoga postures; it's clear from even these simple descriptions that their benefits overlap into each other. A caveat: if you're a novice, don't attempt the postures in the photographs without receiving more detailed instruction about getting into and coming out of the poses. And if you're interested in learning more about yoga, you're always welcome to contact me and let's get your practice started! I'm also happy to teach a complimentary group class during any tournament that I attend with Nicky. Just let me know where and when and I'll be there, mat in hand. (Melinda plans to be at CLO editor Jennifer Shahade's seminar at the SuperNationals V on popularizing chess. US Chess Scoop also plans to capture Melinda on camera regarding chess and yoga-ED.) Chess and Yoga: Complementary Disciplines As a yoga devotee, of course I could ramble on and on endlessly about yoga's benefits, but instead I will enumerate the similarities between chess and yoga. I hereby offer my by-no-means-comprehensive-or-scientific list outlining just a few connections between chess and yoga. Both develop your focus. It's common to see world-class chess players staring intently at the board for an hour or more. Obviously, the ability to focus is an essential element of chess. Mencius, a teacher of Confucianism, wrote, "Now chess-playing is but a small art, but without his whole mind being given, and his will bent to it, a man cannot succeed at it," meaning that a less-intelligent person with strong concentration skills will do better at chess (or anything else) than the more-intelligent player whose mind wanders. In his message to me, Swami Shankarananda wrote: "Chess is dharana or concentration. It builds strength of mind." Being able to fully concentrate on the board - or engage in a "deep think" - seems to be a crucial element that eventually separates the superstars from the good-but-not-great players. Attaining stillness in certain yoga postures and meditation is very similar to the "deep think" experience. You are not "tuning out" the world when you meditate; there's simply a heightened awareness of everything that is happening - from the breath to physical sensations to mental clarity. The main difference is that in a yogic meditation, the mind is focused on the inner self, whereas in chess, the focus is on the board. Pantanjali, in his seminal book, The Yoga Sutras, summed it up simply and globally, "If you can control the rising of the mind into ripples, you will experience Yoga." That sort of mind steadiness applies whether meditating or considering your position. A modern view was developed by psychologist Mihaly Csíkszentmihályi, who theorized that people are happiest when they are in a state of flow - such complete absorption in an activity or situation that nothing else seems to matter. Csíkszentmihályi described flow as "being completely involved in an activity for its own sake. The ego falls away. Time flies. Every action, movement, and thought follows inevitably from the previous one, like playing jazz. Your whole being is involved, and you're using your skills to the utmost." More mainstream terms for this state might be in the zone or in the groove. A true meditative state (or a "deep think") keeps you absolutely rooted in what could easily be described as flow. My personal all-time meditation high occurred in a South Korean temple. I don't know what I was expecting, exactly, but something about the energy of the temple, and possibly my own lack of expectation, took me outside of time and body for over an hour. The memory of that extraordinary sensation - being so hyper-aware that I felt suspended in time - is one lure that draws me to my mat over and over again. And I suspect the similar high of suddenly untangling a complicated position after a long, concentrated "think" - that flash where it all makes sense - is what keeps many chess players coming back to the board. Both help you cultivate (and listen to) that inner voice. When you comb through the biographies of the top chess players, almost every one of them mentions that player's particular style or known favorite openings. Obviously, these players have capitalized upon and polished the methods, ideas, and strategies that work for them. Similarly, Nicky tells me that even when he starts out playing one way, at some point, in some way, he often converts into an attacking game - the type of play that resonates with him. And he claims his best games occur when he is true to himself and his style. In his interview with Jeremy Silman, Swami Shankarananda clarified the importance of listening to that inner voice: "In my later games of chess, after I had studied meditation, I began to ask different kinds of questions at the board and look for positions that made me feel harmonious and peaceful. Sometimes the objectively best move is not right for your style of play. By studying your inner process during play, you will discover under what emotional conditions you play the best." Found within the pages of the ancient Hindu text, the Upanishads, is the "yoga" variation on the same theme: Understanding without practice is better than practice without understanding. Understanding with practice is better than understanding without practice. Residing in your true nature is better than understanding or practice. In yoga classes, we remind our students to honor their bodies: some days you can touch your toes; some days you can barely touch your knees. It's important not to fight against what your body is telling you. Heeding your inner voice means understanding where you are in that moment and gracefully accepting your strengths and limitations. It doesn't mean you shouldn't continually press to improve and push to your edge. It just means you should stay honest about what feels right to you and discard what doesn't serve you, whether you're in the middle of a complicated game or hanging onto a challenging yoga posture or trying to determine your life's direction. Both help you find balance and understand imbalance. I read an interesting article about balance while researching this piece, which I hope I'm interpreting correctly here (if not, I'm sure I will hear about it!). The article discussed Steinitz's theory of perfect play, which basically states that all chess games begin in balance. If balance can be maintained, the game ends in a draw. However, if balance is lost, the theory posits that it's the loser who determined the game's outcome by creating the imbalance (meaning, by making a mistake). Regardless of one's understanding of chess theory, it's fairly obvious that balance is an important factor in chess. Consider, even, the chessboard and pieces: black and white, opposite colors, much like the now-ubiquitous yin-yang symbol. You can't have darkness without light, resolution without conflict - and you can't find balance without experiencing some imbalance. Swami Shankarananda spoke of a different kind of balance in his interview with Jeremy Silman: "The bliss of victory in chess is always accompanied by the pain of defeat on the part of the opponent. By the law of compensation in the universe, no one can always win." Most yoga practitioners are locked in an ongoing quest for both physical and spiritual balance; it's often the main reason we came to the mat. I'm no exception; I constantly struggle with finding and maintaining balance, not just in yoga, but in all areas of my life. I've finally learned to accept (though I rail against it at times) that finding true balance is all about learning to ride the waves of unpredictability and imbalance - in chess, in yoga, in life - and I thank my yoga practice for teaching me that lesson. Both teach you to detach (in a healthy way). My all-time favorite quote from the Bhagavad Gita states, ""You have a right to your actions, but never to your actions' fruits." Mahatma Gandhi further elaborated upon this thought: "Detachment is not indifference. It is the prerequisite for effective involvement." In other words, detachment allows the experience to remain separate from the results. So I try to practice detachment in many situations: for instance, whenever I find myself becoming too invested in my class' reactions, or whenever Nicky's playing a high-stakes round and I want to fret and pace. It's the same detachment that I hope Nicky has learned to call upon whenever he's playing the match I'm (supposedly) not fretting about and not pacing over. Detachment from outcome frees the mind to focus on the task at hand. And when you're fully invested in the activity, undisturbed by "what ifs" - well, I'd call that living in the moment (back to that flow state!). Both unleash creativity. According to a recently-released book by William J. Broad, The Science of Yoga, the few documented scientific studies about yoga tend to focus on yoga and creativity. Specifically, studies have examined the effect of yogic breathing on the brain and how it helps quiet the chattering of the everyday brain, which is dominated by the logical and practical left brain hemisphere. When the din in the left brain is silenced, the right brain - which governs intuition, creativity, instincts, and spatial reasoning - activates. The "deep think" - or concentrated focus on the chess board - might serve the same purpose by eventually shuttering the practical left brain's experience- and study-based analysis, thereby allowing the creative juices of the right brain to unleash their magic. While the importance of creativity has been universally acknowledged, it's hard to quantify. In his book, Outliers: The Story of Success, Malcolm Gladwell discusses a "divergence test." Unlike convergence tests, in which the test taker sorts through a list of possibilities and converges on the right answer (think multiple choice), a divergence test requires the test taker to consider as many different outcomes as possible. Gladwell writes, "With a divergence test, obviously there isn't a single right answer. What the test giver is looking for are the number and uniqueness of your responses. And what the test is measuring isn't analytical intelligence but something profoundly different - something much closer to creativity." Although I don't have test results to verify Nicky's creativity, I'm positive chess has refined Nicky's ability to think independently and originally. He's constantly surprising me with his inventive interpretations in what should be ordinary situations. For example, I once instructed everyone in my yoga class, Nicky included, to lie on their mats in a comfortable position. I assumed they understood I meant on their backs in savasana. But Nicky completely disregarded what the rest of the class was doing and instead flopped happily onto his stomach, head aligned with everyone else's feet. Technically, he obeyed my instructions to the letter. But he didn't just blindly follow the crowd, either; he added his correct yet unique twist to my instructions - and I've heard he often has a similar unconventional outlook over the board, too. And who knows? Maybe his exposure to a yogic way of thinking has influenced the creative way he approaches chess (I'd like to think so!). Yoga and Chess - our story Naturally, my own thoughts about the connections - and similarities - between chess and yoga are derived from how they relate to Nicky and me. Though I never really put it together formally, I often sensed there was a correlation between the two: the elements that attracted me to yoga were comparable to the elements that drew Nicky to the chess board. A regular yoga practice is highly personal and, in its purest moments, solitary, driven by where the practitioner "is" at that point in time - physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually. It is not competitive (or shouldn't be, at any rate), nor is there a straight, swift, sure route to the ultimate goal (which in yoga is samadhi, or bliss/enlightenment). My own yoga journey had been (and still is) following a slow and meandering path, full of stops and starts and myriad distractions. I am heading nowhere and everywhere in my own time and at my own pace, adjusting my course as my needs morph and transform, and I'm learning and having fun along the way. As I pondered over the best way to encourage Nicky through his chess development, it dawned on me that he was headed down a very similar path: like me, he was taking a highly personal journey defined by his unique style, what he was ready to learn, and when he was ready to learn it (emotionally and mentally). As in yoga, there was no swift, sure race to the top; for Nicky, most of the fun and challenge was (and is) in reaching toward the next level. My job was to simply step back and follow Nicky's lead. I also realized that, unlike in yoga, the one constant for Nicky would be intense tournament competition. So it seemed we had to develop a level-headed approach to competition (become more yogic?), because even though it can be healthy when channeled correctly, the after-effects are temporary and ephemeral, shifting with the next win or loss. Therefore, any focus on titles, winning, and achieving ratings points needed to become interim and secondary, never superseding the main purpose of self-improvement and self-enjoyment. Overall, I like to believe that Nicky's chess life has been fairly balanced. Sometimes I second-guess our approach to his chess development, especially when it seems others are moving at a faster pace than he is, but whenever that happens, I step back, take a breath, and watch Nicky as he plays. The joy and intensity emanating from him are enough to convince me we're on the right track. And finally.... Chess and yoga have lasted through the centuries for one very good reason: they answer a deep-seated call in us, firing up our synapses in a way that goes far beyond data collection and scientific studies (and overly-long articles about their similarities). Chess' siren call was clearly evident during a break in the photo shoot, when Nicky and Mike sat down for a few blitz games. Photographer Nerissa Sparkman immediately noticed their sudden high energy shift - how their body language transformed and how their faces lit up as they played. So even though yoga doesn't speak to Nicky the way it does to me, his enjoyment of chess shines through him the way my passion for yoga radiates within me. It's the same love taking different forms. Ultimately, we press on through highs and lows, triumphs and trials, simply because we love what we do. We thrive on the learning, the challenge, the mental engagement - and most of all, the joy our disciplines bring to us. And therein lies the unarguable common bond between yoga practitioners and chess players: together, we've found our holy grail, our port in the storm, our inspiration - and for that, we rank among the lucky ones. Namaste and good games! Acknowledgements Unlike my tournament reports, which tend to be solo ramblings, this article is the result of others' supportive efforts. My writing found its direction and sprang to life through the creative vision of talented photographer, Nerissa Sparkman, whose pictures give emphasis and tons of sparkle to a sometimes-dry subject. Check out her website at http://nerissasparkman.com/ for more of her fun, expressive, and funky photos. Also thanks to our three patient and good-natured demonstrators: Michael Hutsko, tournament director, coach, and chess enthusiast, who helped us access the giant outdoor chess set at Miami Country Day School; beautiful yogini, Dr. Lisa Fuller, whose dedication to community yoga inspires me; and of course, Nicky, my surprising and wonderful son, whose love for chess has swept me down this joyful and unexpected road.

Most sellers understand that presenting the very best version of their home is important to getting it sold, but are hesitant to invest money into the process. There are actually many cost-effective ways to revamp and stage your home to give it the boost it needs. Here are some highlights from an excellent article on home staging from the Coldwell Banker Blue Matter blog.
Consult an expert:
Speak with a real estate professional! Your agent most likely has attended many open houses, and have good insight into what buyers are looking for. Another good source of inspiration can be staged model homes; visiting a model home will give you an idea of how a professional stager has organized a room.
Rely on what you have:
One of the first things a seller should do is de-clutter their home. Cleaning out and cleaning up will give you a blank canvas to stage your home. You may simply just need to re-arrange your existing furniture rather than purchasing new pieces, and once you have de-cluttered you should be able to see how to highlight the best features of a room.
Focus on small changes:
If you still feel that your home needs more work, identify the projects that will give your home the most bang for the buck. Paint is an easy and affordable way to change the look of a room; remember, a clean and crisp neutral shade is the safest route. New kitchen appliances, lights, doors, and window treatments can also breathe new life into a room without costing a fortune. If you are really lacking in the furniture department, consider borrowing key pieces from friends or family!

This is the default welcome page used to test the correct operation of the Apache2 server after installation on Ubuntu systems. It is based on the equivalent page on Debian, from which the Ubuntu Apache packaging is derived. If you can read this page, it means that the Apache HTTP server installed at this site is working properly. You should replace this file (located at /var/www/html/index.html) before continuing to operate your HTTP server.
If you are a normal user of this web site and don't know what this page is about, this probably means that the site is currently unavailable due to maintenance. If the problem persists, please contact the site's administrator.
Ubuntu's Apache2 default configuration is different from the upstream default configuration, and split into several files optimized for interaction with Ubuntu tools. The configuration system is fully documented in /usr/share/doc/apache2/README.Debian.gz. Refer to this for the full documentation. Documentation for the web server itself can be found by accessing the manual if the apache2-doc package was installed on this server.
The configuration layout for an Apache2 web server installation on Ubuntu systems is as follows:
/etc/apache2/ |-- apache2.conf | `-- ports.conf |-- mods-enabled | |-- *.load | `-- *.conf |-- conf-enabled | `-- *.conf |-- sites-enabled | `-- *.conf
- apache2.conf is the main configuration file. It puts the pieces together by including all remaining configuration files when starting up the web server.
- ports.conf is always included from the main configuration file. It is used to determine the listening ports for incoming connections, and this file can be customized anytime.
- Configuration files in the mods-enabled/, conf-enabled/ and sites-enabled/ directories contain particular configuration snippets which manage modules, global configuration fragments, or virtual host configurations, respectively.
- They are activated by symlinking available configuration files from their respective *-available/ counterparts. These should be managed by using our helpers a2enmod, a2dismod, a2ensite, a2dissite, and a2enconf, a2disconf . See their respective man pages for detailed information.
- The binary is called apache2. Due to the use of environment variables, in the default configuration, apache2 needs to be started/stopped with /etc/init.d/apache2 or apache2ctl. Calling /usr/bin/apache2 directly will not work with the default configuration.
By default, Ubuntu does not allow access through the web browser to any file apart of those located in /var/www, public_html directories (when enabled) and /usr/share (for web applications). If your site is using a web document root located elsewhere (such as in /srv) you may need to whitelist your document root directory in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf.
The default Ubuntu document root is /var/www/html. You can make your own virtual hosts under /var/www. This is different to previous releases which provides better security out of the box.
Please use the ubuntu-bug tool to report bugs in the Apache2 package with Ubuntu. However, check existing bug reports before reporting a new bug.
Please report bugs specific to modules (such as PHP and others) to respective packages, not to the web server itself.

I need a Stairmaster. I need one now. Because I am so addicted to these cheesecake pops! Who knew! I was actually rather "baking-shy" about this recipe. I had never made a "real" cheesecake before and I wasn't sure how well this was going to turn out.
I probably shouldn't have learned!
These cheesecake pops are so incredibly rich and heavenly! Oh my word! So good! They do take some time, so you need to plan ahead before making them, but they are worth it.
This actually turned out to be one of the easiest recipes I've tried as a member of Daring Baker's! Here are the changes I made: I halved the original recipe, I used sweet rice flour in place of the wheat flour, and I used additional vanilla extract for flavoring. Next time I make these pops I will reduce the amount of sugar used in the cheesecake since the candy coating is so sweet. I will also try using a lower-fat cream cheese, so the saturated fat content is not so high in the overall recipe. Other than that... these yummy pops were so delicious and worth every bit of the time spent making them!!
But you will need a Stairmaster. Now.
Cinnamon Bun Cheesecake Pops
Adapted from Sticky, Chewy, Messy Gooey by Jill O'Connor
2 1/2 (8 oz.) packages cream cheese, brought to room temperature
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons sweet rice flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract (yes, a tablespoon!)
2 tablespoons evaporated milk or heavy cream
Boiling water as needed
toothpicks or 20 lollipop sticks (toothpicks worked fine!)
1 (12 oz.) package of Hershey's Cinnamon Chips
1 tablespoon Spectrum Palm Shortening
- Position your oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees. Set some water to boil.
- In your mixing bowl at low speed, beat together cream cheese, sugar, sweet rice flour, and salt until smooth.
- Add the whole eggs and the egg yolk, one at a time, beating well (but still at low speed) after each addition. Beat in vanilla and evaporated milk or cream.
- Grease an 8" cake pan (not springform), and pour batter into the cake pan. Place the pan in a larger roasting pan. Fill the roasting pan with boiling water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the cake pan. Bake until the cheesecake is firmand slightly golden on top. 35-55 minutes. (The cheesecake will not "jiggle" when it is done, it should look and feel set if you gently touch the top!)
- Remove the cheesecake from the water bath and cool to room temperature. Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate until very cold, at least 3 hours or overnight.
- When the cheesecake is cold and very firm, scoop the cheesecake into 2 ounce balls and place them onto a parchment or foil-lined baking sheet. Carefully insert a lollipop stick or toothpick into each cheesecake ball. Freeze the cheesecake pops uncovered, until they are very hard, 1-2 hours or overnight.
- When cheesecake pops are frozen and ready for dipping, prepare the cinnamon chips. You can melt them over a double broiler, or if you are lazy like me, you can simply put them in a glass bowl along with the tablespoon of palm shortening and microwave them for 1 minute. Stir the melted chips and shortening until they are smooth and liquid.
- Quickly dip the cheesecake pops one at a time in the melted cinnamon chips, swirling quickly to coat.
- Place pops on a clean cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or foil.
- Refrigerate pops for up to 24 hours, or until ready to serve!
- Enjoy!!

The principles
Strathendrick House shall comply with the principles of data protection (the Principles) enumerated in the EU General Data Protection Regulation. We will make every effort possible in everything we do to comply with these principles. The Principles are:
Lawful, fair and transparent
Data collection must be fair, for a legal purpose and we must be open and transparent as to how the data will be used.
Limited for its purpose
Data can only be collected for a specific purpose.
Data minimisation
Any data collected must be necessary and not excessive for its purpose.
The data we hold must be accurate and kept up to date.
We cannot store data longer than necessary.
Integrity and confidentiality
The data we hold must be kept safe and secure.
Accountability and transparency
We must ensure accountability and transparency in all our use of personal data. We must show how we comply with each Principle. You are responsible for keeping a written record of how all the data processing activities you are responsible for comply with each of the Principles. This must be kept up to date and must be approved by the DPO.
To comply with data protection laws and the accountability and transparency Principle of GDPR, we must demonstrate compliance. You are responsible for understanding your particular responsibilities to ensure we meet the following data protection obligations:
Fully implement all appropriate technical and organisational measures
Maintain up to date and relevant documentation on all processing activities
Conducting Data Protection Impact Assessments
Implement measures to ensure privacy by design and default, including:
Data minimisation
Allowing individuals to monitor processing
Creating and improving security and enhanced privacy procedures on an ongoing basis
Our procedures
Fair and lawful processing
We must process personal data fairly and lawfully in accordance with individuals' rights under the first Principle. This generally means that we should not process personal data unless the individual whose details we are processing has consented to this happening.
If we cannot apply a lawful basis (explained below), our processing does not conform to the first principle and will be unlawful. Data subjects have the right to have any data unlawfully processed erased
Controlling vs. processing data
Strathendrick House is classified as a data controller and data processor. We must maintain our appropriate registration with the Information Commissioners Office in order to continue lawfully controlling and processing data.
As a data processor, we must comply with our contractual obligations and act only on the documented instructions of the data controller. If we at any point determine the purpose and means of processing out with the instructions of the controller, we shall be considered a data controller and therefore breach our contract with the controller and have the same liability as the controller. As a data processor, we must:
Not use a sub-processor without written authorisation of the data controller
Co-operate fully with the ICO or other supervisory authority
Ensure the security of the processing
Keep accurate records of processing activities
Notify the controller of any personal data breaches
If you are in any doubt about how we handle data, contact the DPO for clarification.
Lawful basis for processing data
We must establish a lawful basis for processing data. Ensure that any data you are responsible for managing has a written lawful basis approved by the DPO. It is your responsibility to check the lawful basis for any data you are working with and ensure all of your actions comply the lawful basis. At least one of the following conditions must apply whenever we process personal data:
We hold recent, clear, explicit, and defined consent for the individual's data to be processed for a specific purpose.
The processing is necessary to fulfill or prepare a contract for the individual.
Legal obligation
We have a legal obligation to process the data (excluding a contract).
Vital interests
Processing the data is necessary to protect a person's life or in a medical situation.
Public function
Processing necessary to carry out a public function, a task of public interest or the function has a clear basis in law.
Legitimate interest
The processing is necessary for our legitimate interests. This condition does not apply if there is a good reason to protect the individual's personal data which overrides the legitimate interest.
Deciding which condition to rely on
If you are making an assessment of the lawful basis, you must first establish that the processing is necessary. This means the processing must be a targeted, appropriate way of achieving the stated purpose. You cannot rely on a lawful basis if you can reasonable achieve the same purpose by some other means.
Remember that more than one basis may apply, and you should rely on what will best fit the purpose, not what is easiest.
Consider the following factors and document your answers:
What is the purpose for processing the data?
Can it reasonably be done in a different way?
Is there a choice as to whether or not to process the data?
Who does the processing benefit?
After selecting the lawful basis, is this the same as the lawful basis the data subject would expect?
What is the impact of the processing on the individual?
Are you in a position of power over them?
Are they a vulnerable person?
Would they be likely to object to the processing?
Are you able to stop the processing at any time on request, and have you factored in how to do this?
Our commitment to the first Principle requires us to document this process and show that we have considered which lawful basis best applies to each processing purpose, and fully justify these decisions.
We must also ensure that individuals whose data is being processed by us are informed of the lawful basis for processing their data, as well as the intended purpose. This should occur via a privacy notice. This applies whether we have collected the data directly from the individual, or from another source.
If you are responsible for making an assessment of the lawful basis and implementing the privacy notice for the processing activity, you must have this approved by the DPO.
Special categories of personal data
What are special categories of personal data?
Previously known as sensitive personal data, this means data about an individual which is more sensitive, so requires more protection. This type of data could create more significant risks to a person's fundamental rights and freedoms, for example by putting them at risk of unlawful discrimination. The special categories include information about an individual's:
ethnic origin
trade union membership
biometrics (where used for ID purposes)
sexual orientation
In most cases where we process special categories of personal data we will require the data subject's explicit consent to do this unless exceptional circumstances apply or we are required to do this by law (e.g. to comply with legal obligations to ensure health and safety at work). Any such consent will need to clearly identify what the relevant data is, why it is being processed and to whom it will be disclosed.
The condition for processing special categories of personal data must comply with the law. If we do not have a lawful basis for processing special categories of data that processing activity must cease.
Our responsibilities
Analysing and documenting the type of personal data we hold
Checking procedures to ensure they cover all the rights of the individual
Identify the lawful basis for processing data
Ensuring consent procedures are lawful
Implementing and reviewing procedures to detect, report and investigate personal data breaches
Store data in safe and secure ways
Assess the risk that could be posed to individual rights and freedoms should data be compromised
Your responsibilities
Fully understand your data protection obligations
Check that any data processing activities you are dealing with comply with our policy and are justified
Do not use data in any unlawful way
Do not store data incorrectly, be careless with it or otherwise cause us to breach data protection laws and our policies through your actions
Comply with this policy at all times
Raise any concerns, notify any breaches or errors, and report anything suspicious or contradictory to this policy or our legal obligations without delay

Arranging data protection training and advice for all staff members and those included in this policy

Responsibilities of the Marketing Manager
Approving data protection statements attached to emails and other marketing copy
Addressing data protection queries from clients, target audiences or media outlets
Coordinating with the DPO to ensure all marketing initiatives adhere to data protection laws and the company's Data Protection Policy
Accuracy and relevance
We will ensure that any personal data we process is accurate, adequate, relevant and not excessive, given the purpose for which it was obtained. We will not process personal data obtained for one purpose for any unconnected purpose unless the individual concerned has agreed to this or would otherwise reasonably expect this.
Individuals may ask that we correct inaccurate personal data relating to them. If you believe that information is inaccurate you should record the fact that the accuracy of the information is disputed and inform the DPO.
Data security
You must keep personal data secure against loss or misuse. Where other organisations process personal data as a service on our behalf, the DPO will establish what, if any, additional specific data security arrangements need to be implemented in contracts with those third party organisations.
Storing data securely
In cases when data is stored on printed paper, it should be kept in a secure place where unauthorised personnel cannot access it
Printed data should be shredded when it is no longer needed
Data stored on a computer should be protected by strong passwords that are changed regularly. We encourage all staff to use a password manager to create and store their passwords.
Data stored on CDs or memory sticks must be encrypted or password protected and locked away securely when they are not being used
The DPO must approve any cloud used to store data
Servers containing personal data must be kept in a secure location, away from general office space
Data should be regularly backed up in line with the company's backup procedures
Data should never be saved directly to mobile devices such as laptops, tablets or smartphones
All servers containing sensitive data must be approved and protected by security software
All possible technical measures must be put in place to keep data secure
Data retention
We must retain personal data for no longer than is necessary. What is necessary will depend on the circumstances of each case, taking into account the reasons that the personal data was obtained, but should be determined in a manner consistent with our data retention guidelines.
Transferring data internationally
There are restrictions on international transfers of personal data. You must not transfer personal data abroad, or anywhere else outside of normal rules and procedures without express permission from the DPO.

Right to erasure
We must delete or remove an individual's data if requested and there is no compelling reason for its continued processing.
Right to restrict processing
We must comply with any request to restrict, block, or otherwise suppress the processing of personal data.
We are permitted to store personal data if it has been restricted, but not process it further. We must retain enough data to ensure the right to restriction is respected in the future.
Right to data portability
We must provide individuals with their data so that they can reuse it for their own purposes or across different services.
We must provide it in a commonly used, machine-readable format, and send it directly to another controller if requested.
Right to object
We must respect the right of an individual to object to data processing based on legitimate interest or the performance of a public interest task.
We must respect the right of an individual to object to direct marketing, including profiling.
We must respect the right of an individual to object to processing their data for scientific and historical research and statistics.
Rights in relation to automated decision making and profiling
We must respect the rights of individuals in relation to automated decision making and profiling.
Individuals retain their right to object to such automated processing, have the rationale explained to them, and request human intervention.
Privacy notices
When to supply a privacy notice
A privacy notice must be supplied at the time the data is obtained if obtained directly from the data subject. If the data is not obtained directly from the data subject, the privacy notice must be provided within a reasonable period of having obtained the data, which mean within one month.
If the data is being used to communicate with the individual, then the privacy notice must be supplied at the latest when the first communication takes place.
If disclosure to another recipient is envisaged, then the privacy notice must be supplied prior to the data being disclosed.
What to include in a privacy notice
Privacy notices must be concise, transparent, intelligible and easily accessible. They are provided free of charge and must be written in clear and plain language, particularly if aimed at children
The following information must be included in a privacy notice to all data subjects:
Identification and contact information of the data controller and the data protection officer
The purpose of processing the data and the lawful basis for doing so
The legitimate interests of the controller or third party, if applicable
The right to withdraw consent at any time, if applicable
The category of the personal data (only for data not obtained directly from the data subject)
Any recipient or categories of recipients of the personal data
Detailed information of any transfers to third countries and safeguards in place
The retention period of the data or the criteria used to determine the retention period, including details for the data disposal after the retention period
The right to lodge a complaint with the ICO, and internal complaint procedures
The source of the personal data, and whether it came from publicly available sources (only for data not obtained directly from the data subject)
Any existence of automated decision making, including profiling and information about how those decisions are made, their significances and consequences to the data subject
Whether the provision of personal data is part of a statutory of contractual requirement or obligation and possible consequences for any failure to provide the data (only for data obtained directly from the data subject)
Subject Access Requests
What is a subject access request?
An individual has the right to receive confirmation that their data is being processed, access to their personal data and supplementary information which means the information which should be provided in a privacy notice.
How we deal with subject access requests
We must provide an individual with a copy of the information the request, free of charge. This must occur without delay, and within one month of receipt. We endeavour to provide data subjects access to their information in commonly used electronic formats, and where possible, provide direct access to the information through a remote accessed secure system.
If complying with the request is complex or numerous, the deadline can be extended by two months, but the individual must be informed within one month. You must obtain approval from the DPO before extending the deadline.
We can refuse to respond to certain requests, and can, in circumstances of the request being manifestly unfounded or excessive, charge a fee. If the request is for a large quantity of data, we can request the individual specify the information they are requesting. This can only be done with express permission from the DPO.
Once a subject access request has been made, you must not change or amend any of the data that has been requested. Doing so is a criminal offence.
Data portability requests
We must provide the data requested in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. This would normally be a CSV file, although other formats are acceptable. We must provide this data either to the individual who has requested it, or to the data controller they have requested it be sent to. This must be done free of charge and without delay, and no later than one month. This can be extended to two months for complex or numerous requests, but the individual must be informed of the extension within one month and you must receive express permission from the DPO first.
Right to erasure
What is the right to erasure?
Individuals have a right to have their data erased and for processing to cease in the following circumstances:
Where the personal data is no longer necessary in relation to the purpose for which it was originally collected and / or processed
Where consent is withdrawn
Where the individual objects to processing and there is no overriding legitimate interest for continuing the processing
The personal data was unlawfully processed or otherwise breached data protection laws
To comply with a legal obligation
The processing relates to a child
How we deal with the right to erasure
We can only refuse to comply with a right to erasure in the following circumstances:
To exercise the right of freedom of expression and information
To comply with a legal obligation for the performance of a public interest task or exercise of official authority
For public health purposes in the public interest
For archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific research, historical research or statistical purposes
The exercise or defence of legal claims
If personal data that needs to be erased has been passed onto other parties or recipients, they must be contacted and informed of their obligation to erase the data. If the individual asks, we must inform them of those recipients.
The right to object
Individuals have the right to object to their data being used on grounds relating to their particular situation. We must cease processing unless:
We have legitimate grounds for processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the individual.
The processing relates to the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
We must always inform the individual of their right to object at the first point of communication, i.e. in the privacy notice. We must offer a way for individuals to object online.
The right to restrict automated profiling or decision making
We may only carry out automated profiling or decision making that has a legal or similarly significant effect on an individual in the following circumstances:
It is necessary for the entry into or performance of a contract.
Based on the individual's explicit consent.
Otherwise authorised by law.
In these circumstances, we must:
Give individuals detailed information about the automated processing.
Offer simple ways for them to request human intervention or challenge any decision about them.
Carry out regular checks and user testing to ensure our systems are working as intended.
Third parties
Using third party controllers and processors
As a data controller and data processor, we must have written contracts in place with any third party data controllers and data processors that we use. The contract must contain specific clauses which set out our and their liabilities, obligations and responsibilities.
As a data controller, we must only appoint processors who can provide sufficient guarantees under GDPR and that the rights of data subjects will be respected and protected.
As a data processor, we must only act on the documented instructions of a controller. We acknowledge our responsibilities as a data processor under GDPR and we will protect and respect the rights of data subjects.
Our contracts must comply with the standards set out by the ICO and, where possible, follow the standard contractual clauses which are available. Our contracts with data controllers and data processors must set out the subject matter and duration of the processing, the nature and stated purpose of the processing activities, the types of personal data and categories of data subject, and the obligations and rights of the controller.
At a minimum, our contracts must include terms that specify:
Acting only on written instructions
Those involved in processing the data are subject to a duty of confidence
Appropriate measures will be taken to ensure the security of the processing
Sub-processors will only be engaged with the prior consent of the controller and under a written contract
The controller will assist the processor in dealing with subject access requests and allowing data subjects to exercise their rights under GDPR
The processor will assist the controller in meeting its GDPR obligations in relation to the security of processing, notification of data breaches and implementation of Data Protection Impact Assessments
Delete or return all personal data at the end of the contract
Submit to regular audits and inspections, and provide whatever information necessary for the controller and processor to meet their legal obligations.
Nothing will be done by either the controller or processor to infringe on GDPR.
Criminal offence data
Criminal record checks
Any criminal record checks are justified by law. Criminal record checks cannot be undertaken based solely on the consent of the subject. We cannot keep a comprehensive register of criminal offence data. All data relating to criminal offences is considered to be a special category of personal data and must be treated as such. You must have approval from the DPO prior to carrying out a criminal record check.
Audits, monitoring and training
Data audits
Regular data audits to manage and mitigate risks will inform the data register. This contains information on what data is held, where it is stored, how it is used, who is responsible and any further regulations or retention timescales that may be relevant. You must conduct a regular data audit as defined by the DPO and normal procedures.
Everyone must observe this policy. The DPO has overall responsibility for this policy. Strathendrick House will keep this policy under review and amend or change it as required. You must notify the DPO of any breaches of this policy. You must comply with this policy fully and at all times.

If you require additional training on data protection matters, contact the DPO.
Reporting breaches
Any breach of this policy or of data protection laws must be reported as soon as practically possible. This means as soon as you have become aware of a breach. Casa Zilli Dolomites Chalet has the legal obligation to report any data breaches to The Information Commissioners Office within 72 hours.
All members of staff have an obligation to report actual or potential data protection compliance failures. This allows us to:
Investigate the failure and take remedial steps if necessary
Maintain a register of compliance failures
Notify the 'The Information Commissioners Office' of any compliance failures that are material either in their own right or as part of a pattern of failures.
Any member of staff who fails to notify of a breach, or is found to have known or suspected a breach has occurred but has not followed the correct reporting procedures will be liable to disciplinary action.
Please refer to our audits section for our reporting procedure.
Failure to comply
We take compliance with this policy very seriously. Failure to comply puts both you and the organisation at risk.

ParkMobile is a pay-by-phone parking solution and certain information varies depending on your location. Note that the information in this article is ONLY for the parking areas operated by Asset Living (CBC Centre Suites) in Lubbock, TX where ParkMobile is offered.
Click a topic below to jump to that section, or just scroll through all sections.
Citation/Parking Operator Info
Transaction Fees (based on Membership Level):
There is no cost to register with us or to download one of our mobile apps. The transaction fees charged when you initiate a parking session are in addition to the regularly charged parking fees for your area. The transaction fee in this location is $0.45 across all membership types.
How Will Enforcement Officers Know That I've Paid? Will My Payment Show on the Meter?
ParkMobile payments do not integrate with the meters in this area. While your payment will not show on the meter, the officer will use your license plate number, zone numbers (and space numbers, where applicable) to view your ParkMobile payment on a handheld device.
Zone Number Information and Range:
Zone numbers are a critical part of your transaction and must be recorded correctly in order for your parking session to be identified correctly by the parking enforcement officers. Zone numbers can vary by area. You MUST identify your ParkMobile zone number from the ParkMobile signage located in your parking lot.
In the parking areas in Lubbock, TX where ParkMobile is offered the zone number is 31234.
Area-Specific ParkMobile Phone Number:
The ParkMobile toll-free phone number to reach the automated system to register and/or start or extend your parking sessions is: 833-930-0049. If you are parking in the parking areas in Lubbock, TX, and call any other ParkMobile phone number you will be at risk of parking in a zone in the wrong geographical area and the parking officers in your area won't see your parking payment in that case.
The credit cards accepted in your area are: VISA, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Parkmobile Wallet, and Paypal.
Can transactions in zones in this area be stopped? Extended? Why or why not?
You can not stop a session once started. You must select the amount of time you want in advance and pay for that time with your credit card. If you choose more time than you need, you will not be able to stop the session or get a refund.
You are able to extend your parking time, if you see that you need more than the amount you initially paid for, as long as you haven't already chosen the meter maximum. For example: if the meter maximum is 2 hours, and you chose 1 hour, you can then extend your session before it expires for an additional hour. Note that extensions are separate transactions, and therefore each extension carries a transaction fee as well.
What do I do if I get a parking citation in this area?
ParkMobile does not own, operate, manage, or enforce the parking areas. We don't issue tickets and we can't remove them for you. We can provide you with the contact information for your parking authority if you don't have it, so you can contact them to begin your dispute. You can use your parking receipt from your Personal Pages to include with your dispute.
To dispute a citation, follow the instructions on the ticket or call 806-687-5076. You can log on to your Personal Pages online at www.parkmobile.io to obtain a receipt for your parking session.
