The Hudson, seen from the roof at Catwalk.
I'm going to have a fine summer. From May 25 through July 4, I'll be just a wee bit south of where I was in Catskill, NY, last June, at Women's Studio Workshop. From July 15 through August 10, I'll be at I-Park, in Connecticut.
Yep, I-Park is the place I had a not-so-great experience with last year. But, with simple graciousness, they contacted me a few weeks ago, said that they had had to leave a few artists 'on a sour note' last year, that they had re-vamped their application process, and invited me to reapply, with the application fee waived, for this summer. I did, this year's jury accepted me, and my residency is now "100%, written-in-stone, totally confirmed."
I am so very happy this happened, not only because of the residency (though I am quite pleased about that; the place really appealed to me when I was searching for the best-for-me new residency experiences last year). What I appreciate more than anything, though, is the very cordial and honest admission of a mistake, and the highly civilized attempt to make concrete amends, which I admired (and would have written about) even if I hadn't been accepted.
In stark contrast to other situations, such simply considerate behavior is utterly refreshing, and faith-renewing. I-Park is living up to the good things I'd heard from other residents, and I heartily commend them for it.
(You get two blahgs today; another one follows this. I had this one written and ready to publish, then I got swamped by work and knocked down by yet another respiratory bug…somewhere in there, I wrote the next one…)

via Downtown Express
After the success of its wreath-making workshop just before Christmas, the Battery Park City Parks Conservancy is offering a "Green Valentine Workshop" on Saturday, February 5 from 10:30 a.m. to noon. The Conservancy will supply recycled materials such as salvaged paper samples, old maps and postcards, cancelled postage stamps, dried flowers and bits of fabric and ribbons.
Participants are urged to bring something of their own to make their valentines more personal. The Conservancy suggests ticket stubs, matchbook covers, photographs and fabric remnants — or anything that is resonant and meaningful.
The holiday wreath-making workshop was striking for several reasons. For one thing, there were people of all ages from toddlers to grannies. Also, unlike store-bought wreaths, the wreaths were expressive and personal. They were adorned with elements that spoke to those who made them and to those who would receive them. The valentine workshop is likely to be equally satisfying.
The workshop, which will be held at 75 Battery Place, is free, but pre-registration is required. Space is limited. Call (212) 267-9700, ext. 348 or 366 to register.

If you're anything like me, you were always expected to finish high school, do well, and go to a good university to get your undergrad.
I graduated from UBC in 2018, so I managed to meet those expectations. But following graduation, I found myself in a strange predicament—I no longer know what was expected of me.
For the first time in my life, I wouldn't be reporting to a classroom in September. That felt kind of weird, but I also saw it as a good thing.
What you want and what you need
Once you get your undergrad, your choices about your future become less about expectations and more about needs.
Some people might think of grad school as a natural next step on their checklist, or like the next level in a video game. You've gone to school your whole life, why stop now? This is especially true for those of us who aren't quite sure what comes next.
It's not quite like that, though. Grad school is a big undertaking. There's lots to think about, like:
Do you want to go into research?
Does it make sense from a financial perspective?
Would a Masters or PhD help move you forward in your career area of interest?
Do you see grad school as more than a resume booster?
Are you sure you're not trying to put off making a decision about your future?
If your answer to any of these questions is "no", then grad school might not be the right place for you right now.
When you just don't know
But maybe you're just not sure about anything. That's how I felt in my final year of undergrad—I was intrigued by the idea of a Master's degree, but couldn't quite figure out exactly what area of study I wanted to be in or where I wanted to go.
If that sounds familiar to you, don't worry! This is a huge life decision, so not knowing what you want totally makes sense.
Do your research. Browse the websites for possible grad school programs and try to imagine yourself in them. If you know someone who's in grad school (especially in your field), ask if they have time to have a conversation with you about it. You could even shadow them for a day if they're willing!
This approach works for possible careers as well—look at job postings, research companies that are doing the kind of work you're interested in, and see if you can find someone in that field who might be interested in meeting you for an informational interview.
The more information you have, the more likely you'll begin to feel you know what's right for you.
Lean into it
After months of trying to figure out what my future looked like, I decided to take a step back. Why was I stressing so much? Why did I feel like this was such a black-and-white decision? Why did I have to decide right then?
If you've grown up on expectations, it's hard to imagine giving yourself time to choose a next step. But I chose to lean into the ambiguity. I didn't apply for grad school right away, but I also didn't rule out the possibility. For the first time in my life, I didn't have to report to a classroom...which meant that I had more freedom than I'd ever had.
When you're in school, you're always either doing schoolwork or feeling guilty about not doing it. Last year, I didn't have that burden for the first time, and I felt excited to see what would get me motivated without it.
What would I learn about what kind of career I want? What other types of interests could I develop? What would I do with my time now that I had so much more of it?
If you're not sure about your future, you don't have to decide yet. Take your time, work for a year, enjoy life, and give yourself some room to grow and change. For now, it'll be a pay cheque at the very least, but it could end up leading you to where you want to go. Maybe you'll really love the school-free life and find inspiration at a new job, or maybe you'll find yourself missing the academic environment and wanting more.
Both of those things are okay. Choose what works the best for you.
If you want to get more information and talk to some people who know what grad school is like, check out the annual Graduate & Professional Schools Fair on September 27.

Have you ever noticed that on some days it's easy to motivate yourself to exercise, while on other days even the thought of a squeezing in a workout seems overwhelming?
There are so many factors – including sleep, stress, food, and others – that impact how inclined you will be to get you workout done. Nobody "feels like exercising" every single day, BUT there are ways to get past those feelings to stay active and fit no matter what your mood.
Here are 5 effective strategies for how to work out when you don't feel like it that have worked well for many of my clients.
Set a Goal and Remember It Each Day
What's the real reason you want to exercise? Is there something specific that you're working towards or something that you are aiming to accomplish? Remembering the "why" behind your exercise makes getting it done much more likely.
Here's a really effective trick: Write down your goal on a sticky note and place it somewhere that you will see each morning. Read it and start your day with your goal in mind.
It doesn't have to be something big. I actually recommend using small goals that are very achievable. For example, your sticky note might say, "My goal this month is to go for a 30-minute walk 3 times each week." This is very much within your control (versus a goal like, "I will lose 20lbs this month", which is not as actionable).
Remember why you want to exercise and use this as your daily motivation.
Get Social With Your Exercise
Exercise is always going to be easier when you do it with a friend.
Imagine waking up and looking at your sticky-note goal: "Today I am supposed to go for a 30-minute walk." It's cold outside and you've got a busy day planned. Maybe today you'll just skip your walk and "do it tomorrow" (yeah right!)
Now imagine the same scenario except you have a friend meeting you at the park at noon so that you can walk together. Are you going to show up OR are you going to leave your friend waiting for you? Obviously you're going to be there – There is a social obligation that reinforces your exercise goal.
Not only will having an exercise buddy help you avoid skipping your workout when you're feeling unmotivated, but you will also work harder during your exercise when you are doing it together.
Find a friend, schedule a couple regular workout times each week, and use each other for accountability and motivation.
Visualize Yourself Getting Fit
This might sound a little "out there" but visualization is an effective technique that is used by many athletes to help improve their performance. It's also one that I have my clients implement each and every week.
Athletes picture themselves winning their race or scoring the big goal. Imagining themselves succeed makes success much more likely. The same principle will work for you.
Try this: Close your eyes and visualize what you will be doing in your workout, whether it be running, lifting weights, or participating in a yoga class. Do this for just 2 minutes uninterrupted. What movements are you doing? How does your body feel? What enjoyment or benefit are you getting from the exercise?
This one might take a little practice, but it is a great way to "feel" the benefits of exercise before you even get started. Often the most challenging hurdle of exercise is simply beginning your workout – Once you get going, the rest is easy. Visualize what your exercise will look like and you are much more likely to begin.
Let the Music Motivate You
Think of a song that makes you want to get up and move. When you're not feeling motivated to exercise, this type of music can make all the difference.
Not only can enjoyable music improve your mood, but it can also distract your brain from the effort of exercise. Research has actually shown that the right music can make your workout feel at least 10% easier!
Create an awesome playlist consisting of songs that have a quick tempo – A faster beat is a good mental distraction and will subconsciously push your body to keep up with the pace of the music. Exercising with the right soundtrack will feel easier, you will end up working harder, and your results will be that much better.
Reward Yourself
A really challenging aspect of regular exercise is the fact that the end goal (e.g. losing weight, being able to fit into certain clothes, getting stronger, etc.) is far removed from the exercise itself. Seeing results takes time and it can be easy to get impatient and give up.
That's why it is so powerful to build in rewards that provide instant gratification throughout the process. Treating yourself with a relaxing bath or soothing cup of tea after a workout can be a nice way to recognize your hard work.
It can be tempting to choose food rewards since food is so instantly gratifying, but this is not something I advise even if the food is a "healthy" choice. The pattern of eating a treat after each workout session is a dangerous one that can undo a lot of your hard work.
What other types of rewards would you enjoy after successfully completing your daily exercise? Keep these in mind when you don't feel like getting started.
There are going to be days when exercise just doesn't feel like your top priority. Using some simple strategies like these can help motivate you to get moving despite how you initially feel. And remember, nobody ever said, "I really wish I didn't do that work out" after they got it done!
Which one will you try next time you don't "feel like" exercising?

Tryouts can feel like one of the most anxiety-ridden days of your life. The moment you've spent all that time prepping for has finally arrived. This is your opportunity to demonstrate your skills and impress the coaching staff.
You devoted hours to developing your fundamental and technical skills, but so did your competition, so what will ultimately set you apart? The answers are "in your head." (Stay mentally tough with these tips.) Mental skills are the key factor for edging out other hopefuls. Here are some tips:
1. Shift your focus away from the outcome and stay present. This is when you should focus on relaxing, deep breathing and concentrating on the task in front of you.
2. Concentrate and do not allow your mind to wander. A lapse in concentration can be frustrating and detrimental to your performance.
3. Don't worry. Worrying will not prevent mistakes from happening, but it can create them. Be mindful of any personal expectations that may promote a sense of failure when you make mistakes.
4. The ability to regulate anxiety is indeed a skill. To perfect it, you need to integrate mental techniques into your practice sessions. Practicing coping skills on a daily basis will allow you to effectively deal with unforeseen events during tryouts.
5. Great preparation leads to great performance. You must consistently train your mind using mental strategies that will prepare you to handle an unforeseen distraction, a mistake, a sudden moment of intense nerves, an upset stomach, and the fear of not making the team.
Above all else, be positive. Most coaches will choose a player with a great attitude and above average skills over a player with exceptional skill and a bad attitude. Skills can be taught and improved. An attitude is difficult to change.

With power outages and emergency evacuations of seriously ill patients in hurricane-strength winds, New York hospitals faced their biggest challenge this week since the September 11, 2001 attacks, according to a senior doctor.
Institutions including New York University Hospital and another in Coney Island were forced into patient evacuations after flooding and loss of electricity in superstorm Sandy on Monday and Tuesday.
Bellevue Hospital, the oldest in the country, was evacuating its 500 patients Wednesday, officials said.
"This is perhaps the most complicated situation that New York has seen in 30 years," Carlos Cordon-Cardo, head of the pathology department at Mount Sinai Medical Center, said.
"I was here on September 11 and I was more involved than I'd have liked to be. On 9/11 there were people with lung problems, some poisoning, but there were not people who were very sick or with urgent medical needs because unfortunately we lost many people. This time it was a medical emergency in the real sense," he said.
Mount Sinai, which is in the unscathed upper Manhattan area, took in 64 patients from NYU Hospital on Monday evening in the middle of the storm. Overall, NYU Hospital transferred 300 patients to safer facilities.
"There was a major need for transferring very critical patients. We had a relatively short window to work in. Although the weather was very poor it wasn't such a strong wind that the ambulances would be damaged," he said.
"We had a very sick patient arrive without his electronic records, only a few half-soaked papers," he recalled. Many of the 650 staff on his team slept in the hospital that night.
"It was emotional and extraordinary to see how a whole group of professionals worked together in a harmonious way, without sleeping or sleeping on top of conference tables, or in cars that had been left it the garage."
Even after the storm, the situation remained complex for hospitals.
"At this time, we are focusing on assessing the full extent of the storm's impact on all of our patient care, research, and education facilities," NYU Hospital said in a statement.
Coney Island Hospital had a more difficult task after storm damage, Evelyn Hernandez, a spokeswoman for New York public hospitals said.
It had to transfer about 200 patients, some of them to other hospitals and the less sick back to their homes.

The Market
(July 17, 2003) - Japan's economy stayed dormant for nearly a decade with interest rates as low or lower than the United States has currently. It's entirely possible that we are facing a long term period of very modest growth. Although we hope it isn't true, it's worth pondering the consequences of a relatively flat cycle that lasts five to ten years.
One thing doesn't change in the economy...the relentless aging of the population. Whether or not the economy grows, human capital acquisition will move to the forefront of the industrial agenda. While death and taxes are completely certain, retirement is nearly as predictable.
Another thing that doesn't change is the rate at which vendors mature. In a flat growth environment, individual companies begin to change their focus as they try to dredge sales growth out of the competitive environment. Products and ideas get repositioned as companies try to enlarge their sphere.
The last time we faced a long period of flat growth was the 1970s. The economists called it stagflation (another view). Prices rose but the economy did not grow. Many attempts to intervene failed as economic theory did not match the actual behavior of the market. While a return of stagflation is unlikely, there may be lessons to be learned from the 1970s experience.
First of all, it was not a glum time for everyone. The 70s were IBM's golden years. Markets for computers in companies opened. The companies that flourished re-envisioned their markets and redefined the boundaries.
There were waves of consolidation. The stock market wants to see growth and buying it is a satisfactory approach. Consolidation, though, is just a water treading exercise. The real rewards go to the innovators who can figure out how to redefine themselves and create actual growth inside the constrained environment. This requires breaking the known categories apart.
We think that's happening at both Monster and HotJobs. Both companies are making interesting moves that redefine categories and open a range of competitive windows. We're seeing glimmers of innovation where we thought there were only cold embers. We look at this later in the week.
In a cold economy, companies have to rethink how and whether they are going to reach their targets. We know of several firms who are still struggling to meet their expenses after two years of downturn. They are going to have to reconsider the likelihood that they are viable. If we're in for a long cold era, running a company on the "it's gotta get better soon" program is a huge navigation error.
Whether or not the future is this gloomy, we think that it means that there's one more wave of layoffs (and a corresponding rise in unemployment) to go before the light.

Just a nice thing I decided to throw togather, since I really love this art.
Months ago, Mighty and Ray went on a quest to find Mighty's sister. Now the Chaotix have grown worried for their missing friends, so they're off to investigate! Will they pick up the trail in Mercia? Or will the Dark Egg Legion close our heroes' investigation early?
Hey guys, I'm a female going to middle school who loves to voice act and sing!
I really wished to become someone since I was small, so... Yeah! :D
Kinda loud and squeeky child voice. It somehow kinda (not much) sounds like tails.
Hey, guys? Something BIG is heading our way!
I wish the other Chaotix were here!
They had been sending us letters through their Warp Ring. But the letters stopped coming, and then the Warp Ring came back on it's own.
gentlemen, I suggest your retreat. For though I am a man of PEACE...
Drink, sister?
When Dr. Eggman's forces first moved into the land, I spirited away the kingdom's records and censuses and secured them here in hideaway.
Snake-ish british accent.
Tell me-- WHERE is the hideaway!
"The location of the hideaway. NOW.
The whole blasted country is covred in the forest!
A british Donald Duck (:D)
LORD HOOD! The Freedom Fighters have breached the outer wall and are taking the inner passage to the heart of the Castle!
You instructed us to wait, sir. Should I sound the alarm now?
Make the accent BRITISH, please.
I'm afraid my compatriots are LESS RESTRAINED, m' lady. Pardon ME, friar.
Thank you, Buck.
I think his friends would prefer the shortend, NON musical verion.
Yush. GOT THIS WRONG, DON't AUDITION HERE!
[Don't audition!!]
Always british, but very rough.
Quit with 'cer warblin' and take down these goons!
COR! He's a sharp one!
THis is startin' To sound like a 'RAID 'N'RESCUE" plan! I do enjoy me R&R, I do!
Like Jet, with an English [British] accent.
We've caught them unawares! MERCIAN FREEDOM FIGHTRERS! Give these varlets cause to take flight!
VERILY! Well met, fine heroes. I am BOW SPARROW, humble woodsman, and these are my fellow feedom fighters.
Yea, but he has long been away with his wife and child. We fear the worst, and I carry on the king's speech in his memory.
A voice kinda like Shadow's but moe 'Asiatic', since he comes from the [uhh] Shinobi Clan.
VECTOR? A shift in properties, please.
Yes, but--
--If we don't focus on our attackers, we will be captured next. I promised I'd keep Charmy safe!
I don't know. Make it how you like.
[Siniging] Towards visitorsyou act unneighborly so thus cry "Away with thee" And a hey nonny nonny!
[singing] And lo the fearsome Mighty and his stalwart buddy, Ray - Did wage a MIGHTY battle, and did well within the fray! So once our merry band did try to join them in the ruckus - All that twas left for us was a-plenty of fresh-kicked tuckus! And a hey nonny nonny - !
Honed off to a point of DULLARDS like you, I'll wager!

We haven't been here in five minutes, and we get jumped by the doctor's cronies. Odds are they captured our missing team mates when they came through here!
Fine, fine... We'll do it your way...

A lot of middle-aged men like Terry Waters know the dilemma. As family and work life become more demanding, exercise begins to drop lower on the list of priorities. Sure, you know it's supposed to be important. But when the lawn needs mowing and the kids want attention, it's harder to justify lacing up your running shoes for a good workout. Eventually, it's easy to think, "Why bother?"
Why? For one very good reason. Staying active throughout your life is the single most powerful way to remain healthy and live long enough to enjoy your family and all the things you've worked for. Following the recommendations from WebMD's Exercise and Fitness Tips to Improve Your Health offers so many far-ranging health benefits that you may decide a gym membership might be the most important investment you can make for your health. If drug companies developed an anti-aging pill with even some of the benefits of regular physical activity, all of us would be taking it.
Still not convinced you should hoist yourself up off the couch? Consider the following 10 health benefits you can get from even a moderate regular workout.
Exercise Health Benefit 1: Lower cholesterol
As most men get older, cholesterol numbers begin to move in the wrong direction. Levels of so-called bad cholesterol — low-density lipoprotein (LDL) — gradually increase. Levels of good cholesterol, called high-density lipoprotein (HDL), tend to fall. Unfortunately, that combination of high LDL and low HDL is one of the leading risk factors for heart disease. Excess cholesterol accumulates on the inner lining of blood vessels, leading to arthrosclerosis and heart attacks. The best way to keep LDL cholesterol levels down is to eat a diet low in saturated fat (the kind found in meat and high-fat dairy products.) The single best way to boost good HDL cholesterol? Exercise. A 2007 Danish study of 835 men found that regular physical activity was consistently associated with higher levels of HDL cholesterol. A meta-analysis of 52 exercise training trials, including 4700 subjects, found that HDL levels increased an average of 4.6 percent — enough to take a significant notch out of heart disease risk.
Exercise Health Benefit 2: Lower triglycerides
Triglycerides are a form of fat found in the blood. Rising triglyceride levelsare associated with increased risk of heart disease. The same Danish study that found higher levels of HDL showed that the most active men also had the lowest triglyceride levels.
Exercise Health Benefit 3: Lower risk of high blood pressure
As blood pressure climbs, the risk of heart disease and stroke accelerates. Unfortunately, blood pressure levels typically climb as men get older. But they don't have to. In a study published in 2007, University of Minnesota researchers followed men and women 18 to 30 years old for up to 15 years. The more physically active the volunteers were, the lower their risk of developing hypertension.
Exercise Health Benefit 4: Reduced inflammation
Regular exercise has been shown to reduce levels of C-reactive protein, a measure of inflammation. That matters because cholesterol-laden plaques on the lining of arteries are most likely to break off and cause heart attacks when they become inflamed. A 2006 study by researchers at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota found that men with high levels of aerobic fitness, measured as VO2max, had lower levels of C-reactive protein, along with other markers of inflammation.
Exercise Health Benefit 5: Better blood vessels
To respond to changing demands for oxygen, blood vessels must be flexible enough to widen and narrow. Smoking, cholesterol build-up, and just plain aging tend to stiffen vessels, increasing heart attack risk. A growing number of studies show that exercise training helps maintain the ability of blood vessels to open and constrict in response to changing physical demands.
Exercise Health Benefit 6: Lower risk of diabetes
Adult onset diabetes — fueled mostly by too much body fat — is one of the biggest health worries on the horizon. Staying active can help you keep the weight off. But research shows that even for people who are overweight or obese, exercise reduces the risk of diabetes. The Diabetes Prevention Program found that an exercise and weight loss program lowered the risk of type 2 diabetes by a whopping 58% over a three-year period. And the volunteers in that program weren't running marathons. In fact, the exercise they were doing was the equivalent of burning only an additional 593 calories of energy — about the equivalent of walking around six miles a week for most men.
Exercise Health Benefit 7: A hedge against colon cancer
Colon cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer death in men. Approximately 80% of cases of this grim disease could be prevented, experts say. A healthier diet (with more fiber and whole grains) is part of the prescription. But exercise turns out to be just as important as diet. Studies have shown that physical activity may reduce colon cancer risk by as much as 30 to 40%.
Exercise Health Benefit 8: Strong bones
Another unwelcome effect of aging is thinning bones, which can lead to a greater risk of fractures. In a study that followed 3,262 men from their 40s to their 60s, strenuous physical activity dramatically lowered the risk of hip fractures.
Exercise Health Benefit 9: Weight loss
If vanity is enough to nudge you to the gym, consider this: A lifetime of regular physical activity — even activities as simple as walking half an hour most days — can help keep that belly from bulging over your belt. In findings from the National Weight Control Registry, experts looked at the habits of 3,000 people who lost more than 10% of their body weight and managed to keep it off for at least a year. Eight out of 10 of them, it turned out, reported increasing their physical exercise regimen. The men in the group cranked up their activities — walking, cycling, weight lifting, aerobics, running, and stair climbing — enough to burn an additional 3298 calories a week.
Several recent studies have shown that men who report doing more physical activity also have slimmer waistlines. In a 2006 study at Ball State University, a group of 58 volunteers started a program of walking 10,000 steps a day. After 36 weeks, the volunteers had trimmed almost an inch from their waists and a similar amount from their hips.
Exercise Health Benefit 10: A longer life
Add it all up and an active life also means a longer and healthier life. In a 2004 study at Finland's University of Kuopio, researchers followed 15,853 men aged 30 to 59. Over a 20 year period, men who engaged in physically active leisure activities — jogging, skiing, swimming, playing ball, or doing serious gardening — were up to 21% less likely to develop cardiovascular disease or to die of any cause during the study period.
How much exercise do you need to reap these health benefits?
The answer to how much exercise you need depends partly on what you're after. Burning about 1,000 extra calories a week in activities is likely to extend your life. Walking half an hour most days of the week is all you need to significantly lower your risk of colon cancer and diabetes. But the more physical activities you can weave into your daily life, the healthier you'll be.

Systematic Step‑by‑Step Approach
Small Chunks for Easy Learning
Lessons Modeled by the Teacher
I originally purchased EIW on the recommendation of a friend and fellow homeschooler. To be honest, I was hesitant and not at all optimistic because every other thing I had tried simply did not work for my daughter. Thanks to Mr. Stephens and his program, though, she has gone from hating writing to writing more than I ask! I have attached her level 4 first and last assignments. Everyone that I show them to is shocked, and now they are also buying the program for their children! Thank you for everything! We are looking forward to level 5.

is this a meal replacement drink? when is the best time to drink?
Dear customer, Kinohimitsu Superfood+ Lady is a kind of healthy multigrain drink and it can be taken as meal replacement anytime of the day. Hope this clarifies!
If I drink superfood lady, can I still take the weight management drink COF?
Hi Francesca,
Superfood+ Lady can be taken with COF to boost your weight management regime. However, we advise you to take COF after an oily meal like dinner or a hawker lunch instead of a meal that's replaced by Superfood+ Lady. That's because COF is meant to absorb and prevent the oils in your diet from being used by your body. Hope that helps!
Second time purchasing this! My mum and I really enjoyed this drink! Also, kudos to the delivery man. Took quite a while before we could open the door but he was still very smiley :)
Great nutritious drink packed with lots of goodness! Tastes nice!
I ordered 6 cans, packed and delivered within a few days. Although it is branded as 'lady' I think guys who have a sweeter tooth may find it nice to drink. I usually mix 1 scoop of this and 1 scoop of the original variant so that it isn't overly sweet. Best of both worlds, I think.
Highly recommend, especially if you seldom eat fruits & veggies like myself.

What's the Most Important Skill in Excel VBA coding?
It might not be what you think.
I have the privilege of teaching university students about Excel and VBA coding about one day a week, at a top-10 university here in the UK. I've been doing it for almost 10 years now, and I love it!
It's usually fun and it's energising for me to see others get excited about the potential of Excel VBA.
My approach to teaching the subject is simple: to trigger that initial curiosity and help them appreciate the possibilities; once these things happen, students tend to get very enthusiastic about VBA very quickly.
That's as long as they have one critical skill. It has fascinated me over the years watching people grapple with coding for the first time. What I have found is that those from technical backgrounds are not always the best VBA coders (although they are usually pretty solid!) At the same time, the process throws up some surprise success stories: people from social science or arts backgrounds who excel at coding.
Why this discrepancy? One would expect Excel capability to be correlated to previous experience with other coding languages and logic-based subjects such as mathematics. Though this holds as a generally rule, there are enough notable exceptions to fuel other theories about coding success. So what quality do all successful coders share?
All successful coders have a set of attributes that you could bundle together and describe as 'resilience'. Yes, you've got to be 'resilient'! These attributes are not earned through study, in fact they are not technical at all. Everybody has them to a greater or lesser extent, and this article might motivate you to strengthen them. My dog has them! Let's dig into what these attributes actually are…
First, you've got to react well when things go wrong. I'm talking about an initial reaction here. You can be sure of this: Excel VBA is going to throw up errors (particularly when you're less experienced) that will confuse you, and how you react is important.
Naturally you might feel frustrated, tempted to close the laptop, or throw it out the window – I've been there! More importantly, you're probably thinking things like 'I'm just not a coder' and 'I don't have the background to do this'. Though understandable, you have to avoid this reaction; to avoid it is to demonstrate resilience. So, rather than giving up, say to yourself 'I can fix this' (yes, say it out loud, I always talk to myself whilst programming!), then begin the process of debugging.
The ability to respond positively when everything goes wrong can sound like a big deal, but it is actually hard-wired into our psyche; it is just a case of reactivating this part of your brain. All of us have been through tough learning experiences: learning to walk, learning to ride a bike, learning an instrument, a sport, or something else. I compare VBA learning to these things because, for me, Excel is 'play'; things are going to go wrong – but it doesn't matter, we'll fix it. Over time, try to assume this mindset, it might allow you to feel childlike enthusiasm for the topic (I know I do, can you tell? :-))
Second, you have to be able to 'debug'. What does this mean in a practical sense? At the basic level, you need to be able to arrange the VBA editor and Excel alongside each other so that you can 'step through' the code and see what is happening in Excel. It always surprises me how few people can do this quickly – you do it instantaneously use the Windows key + left arrow shortcut on a Windows PC.
Next, you need to know what Excel VBA's debugging aids are. You can find them at the top of the VBA editor in the 'Debug' menu. Excel VBA provides the helpful facility to 'step through' the code line by line (F8 key on the Windows PC.) You can also use breakpoints to stop a routine mid-execution and understand what is going on. Don't forget you can hover the cursor over VBA variables to see what values they hold. Command of such techniques is critically important and you can see me use them in most of my videos.
In the fullness of time, you will begin to enjoy debugging because you know you will always fix it in the end, and some learning will result (it's play!) This mindset, founded on a bundle of capabilities that I'm calling 'resilience', is one sign of a resilient programmer.
How else can you recognise a resilient programmer? Back to teaching, we offer 'tutorial' sessions for students where they work through problems with teachers on hand to help them. In the first few weeks, these sessions are quite chaotic because students ask questions all the time. Hands are going up everywhere! The reaction when things go wrong is to disengage and seek outside help.
Through the term, I gently and consistently reinforce messages about dealing with problems. Reacting correctly, using the debugging aids, developing the critical skill of resilience. This sidelines the teacher in the learning process, so why would I advocate this? As a teacher, is that not counter-intuitive? In my view, the best learning a teacher can offer a student is motivation to develop self-reliance and resilience. I want to feel, as a teacher, that I am gradually making myself redundant as students learn to deal with problems on their own.
Over time, the number of questions reduces, despite the fact the topics get more difficult. Then I know at least some students, equipped with right skill and mindset, are off and running on their programming journey…

Gay dating agencies advantages and benefits of online dating
While the term has several meanings, the most frequent usage refers to two people exploring whether they are romantically or sexually compatible by participating in dates with the other.With the use of modern technology, people can date via telephone or computer or meet in person.Dating may also involve two or more people who have already decided that they share romantic or sexual feelings toward each other.

These species-particular behavior patterns provide a context for aspects of human reproduction, including dating.
However, one particularity of the human species is that pair bonds are often formed without necessarily having the intention of reproduction.
Generally, during much of recorded history of humans in civilization, and into the Middle Ages in Europe, weddings were seen as business arrangements between families, while romance was something that happened outside of marriage discreetly, such as covert meetings.
From about 1700 a worldwide movement perhaps described as the "empowerment of the individual" took hold, leading towards greater emancipation of women and equality of individuals.
It is a form of courtship, consisting of social activities done by the couple, either alone or with others.
The protocols and practices of dating, and the terms used to describe it, vary considerably from country to country and over time.
From the standpoint of anthropology and sociology, dating is linked with other institutions such as marriage and the family which have also been changing rapidly and which have been subject to many forces, including advances in technology and medicine.

Nationally acclaimed sports administrator and high performance director Scott Novack has been named the United States Sports Academy's 2018 Alumnus of the Year.
Novack, a Colorado native, earned his Master of Sports Science degree in sports management from the Academy in 1997 and participated in a mentorship at Brunel University in London, where he met other students and administrators who helped to spark his interest international sports like rugby. He was recently hired as the program operations manager for the USA Rugby Men's Eagles Sevens team.
The Alumnus of the Year Award is given to the year's most outstanding Academy graduate and the honoree must represent the ideals of sport and of the institution.
Novack has more than 18 years of experience as a sports administrator, managing Olympic and national teams that have won eight Olympic medals, seven world championships and more than 60 World Cup medals.
Novack said his Academy master's degree and London mentorship played a significant role in his professional career in high performance and sports operations management, as well as his employment at USA Rugby, his second stint at the organization.
"My Academy degree and mentorship program really set me up for a good career," Novack said.
"The experience I got, especially during mentorship in London, was invaluable. Getting my master's degree from the Academy helped me to meet the people I needed to meet, which led to my career.
"I learned about rugby while I was in London… My experience there gave me the opportunity to interview with USA Rugby, which ultimately led to my first job there. My mentorship was a fantastic opportunity."
Novack worked at USA Rugby from 1999 to 2005 on initiatives related to coaching, youth and high school player development and the Under 19 National Team. Novack then worked in high performance for USA Taekwondo (2005-07) and USA Bobsled (2008-14), as well as with the U.S. Olympic Committee's modern pentathlon team, where he implemented the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games preparation plan.
He also helped the USA Bobsled and Skeleton team win six medals at the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Russia. After the Sochi Games, Novack performed contract work in high performance internationally, then took a job at Tulane University in New Orleans, La., in facilities and events management for intercollegiate athletics.
When USA Rugby recently called again, Novack knew he was ready to get back into rugby. In addition to operations management with the Men's Eagles Sevens program, Novack also works with USA Rugby's national office to manage logistics and program operations for Collegiate All-American Sevens, High School All-American Sevens and the Youth Olympic Games.
"Rugby is one of the fastest growing sports in the United States," he said. "There are roughly 100,000 people playing the sport in the states, and there are many high schools with rugby teams now. There's been a huge movement of popularity here, and with that, the sport is attracting better athletes.
"Rugby is also getting more exposure on television, with the likes of NBC and ESPN broadcasting matches, and it also earned Olympic recognition. All those things add up to a bright future for rugby in the states."
The Alumnus of the Year Award is part of the Academy's Awards of Sport, which each year honor a wide range of accomplishments in sport and serve as "A Tribute to the Artist and the Athlete," in conjunction with the Academy's American Sport Art Museum and Archives (ASAMA). The awards recognize these men and women through the Sport Artist of the Year, Honorary Doctorates, Medallion Series, Outstanding Athletes, and Alumni of the Year awards.

In the final stretch of the season, the Ohio State men's soccer team seems to be getting hot at the right time — or at least taking advantage of a more manageable schedule.
After 11 of the Buckeyes' (6-5-3, 3-2-0) first 12 opponents ranked in the top 60 of the RPI, OSU took care of business against No. 138 Wisconsin and No. 99 Bowling Green in its last two.
"This could be one of the most important parts of the season," senior midfielder Max Moller said. "We want to show for this university and really represent this university really well. This could be the difference for the NCAA Tournament and for the Big Ten. We need to take advantage of these weaker teams."
That trend could continue on Saturday, when OSU is scheduled to take on Rutgers (5-8-1, 1-4-1) — which is ranked No. 80 in the RPI.
OSU coach John Bluem said he doesn't know much about Rutgers, as the schools have never met because Rutgers is a first-year addition to the Big Ten. Bluem said he had a chance to scout the Scarlet Knights earlier in the week, however, and was impressed with what he saw.
"From what I've seen on the videotape, they have some really talented attacking players," Bluem said. "So defensively, we're going to have to be spot on."
The game is the second of a three-game homestand that will represent the final home games of the regular season for the Buckeyes. However, players — such as freshman forward Marcus McCrary — plan to make at least one more appearance in Columbus this season to host a quarterfinal matchup in the Big Ten Tournament, McCrary said.
"We need to win out to play at home again and hopefully go to the NCAA Tournament," he said.
Bluem explained that the goal for the Buckeyes is to finish in the top four of the Big Ten in order to host a quarterfinal game. Currently, the Buckeyes sit fourth in the conference with nine points, three points behind leader Penn State and a point behind Michigan State and Maryland, who are tied for second.
"The key is to finish the regular season somewhere in the top four," Bluem said. "Everyone is so tightly packed together, and I think it's going to stay that way, so it's all going to come down to taking care of business here at home."
The Buckeyes are set to have an opportunity to control their own destiny in their final two games, when they take on one of the two teams currently a point ahead of them on the road. For now, however, the focus is on beating one of the weaker teams in the conference, Bluem said. The Scarlet Knights are currently second to last in the Big Ten.
"Rutgers at home, that's an important one to win that one," Bluem said. "That's what I think it's going to come down to. I think 13 points will probably keep you in the top four."
In addition to the two full days of rest leading up to the game against Rutgers, Bluem also gave his team an additional breather in the second half against Bowling Green. Only redshirt-senior goalkeeper Alex Ivanov and sophomore defender Tyler Kidwell were not pulled out of the game by the end on Wednesday.
"Obviously we got to rest some people tonight, we came out of the game without injuries, so that was an important thing," Bluem said after the game. "To get some of the guys, the substitute players, a chance to get out on the field a little bit and run around, that was great, good for them, and they did a very, very good job."
Bluem said while the team has been fortunate to stay healthy this late in the season, he was still glad to have the opportunity to manage his players' workloads.
"I think we're pretty lucky right now," Bluem said. "Knock on wood that we don't suffer any injuries, hopefully that will be the case and we can make it through the rest of our games without any serious problems."
Ivanov, who has not allowed a goal in his past two starts, might have a chance to see that streak continue against a Scarlet Knights team that has been shut out in five of its past nine games. Ivanov's longest career shutout streak was four, set late last season.
OSU's matchup against Rutgers is scheduled for a 7 p.m. kickoff Saturday at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium.

The most I found for Free Pascal is in the baseunix unit, which I do not believe will be available on Windows:https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/baseunix/fpsigaction.htmlIs there a cross-platform signal handler like the one which exists in Python available in Free Pascal? I'm sure there might be something in the Wiki, if it were currently available.
Is there any reason why fpSignal is deprecated? This functions similar to the call in Python, and is less tedious than needing to create the C structure manually as the example shows. Otherwise, the example code I wrote seems to work fine when testing SIGINT, and SIGTERM.

The Next Level in Sealing Power from the People who Invented Tubeless Conversions If you've walked the mechanics' pits at any National or International level event, chances are you've seen them: trademark Stan's black quart bottles with no labels. Look closer and you might have seen strange symbols scrawled all over the bottles in a silver marker, letters and numbers, formula notes by the man himself, Stan Koziatek. For nearly fifteen years Stan has been quietly formulating a special racing version of our legendary sealant for many of cycling's most successful teams. Working with athletes who push themselves and their tubeless systems to the absolute limit, he developed a proprietary sealant formula with close to twice the amount of the standard sealing crystals plus special "XL" crystals capable of sealing even larger punctures. Stan's Race Sealant's combination of large and smaller sealing crystals interlock to form a lattice work that not only seals but strengthens and reinforces the area of the puncture, allowing for an entirely new level of sealing performance. The quantity and size of crystals in this special formula means that Stan's Race Sealant can only be installed directly into the tire. As a result of its immense sealing capabilities, the Race Sealant will clog injectors and smaller bottles almost immediately. Stan's has made Race Sealant available to riders everywhere, and it is only available by the quart. - First choice of riders around the world for tubeless conversion and flat prevention - Twice the amount of Stan's standard sealing crystals - "XL" crystals capable of sealing even larger punctures - Stays liquid 2-7 months for long-lasting protection - Premium low-viscosity formula resists freezing to work in environments as cold as -30° F (-34° C) - Natural materials, safe for the environment

A new standard in tubeless sealant. Finish Line Tubeless Tire Sealant, featuring Fiberlink technology, will not cure inside the tires and doesn't need to be refreshed every few months to maintain effectiveness. This sealant will last the entire usable life of the tire. Since there is no liquid latex or ammonia in Finish Line sealant, it is naturally non-toxic, hypoallergenic and safe for carbon fiber rims. Additionally, Finish Line Tubeless Tire Sealant cleans up easily with water – no more scrubbing or scraping cured latex from tires and rims. Fiberlink technology makes this possible. Utilizing DuPont Kevlar fibers, Fiberlink seals are extremely robust once they plug a hole. When a puncture happens, fibers rush into the wound and quickly stop air loss. As the tire flexes while it is ridden, the Fiberlink mesh tightens and reinforces itself, creating a confidence-inspiring seal that will last ride-after-ride. - Non-latex ammonia-free formulation - Kevlar reinforced Fiberlink mesh seal - Seals up to 1/4" punctures - Can be used in extreme temperatures, down to -10 degrees Fahrenheit
- Specific DT-Swiss tubeless ready valve stems for tubeless applications
Continental's Easy Tape Rim Strips are 20mm wide and are made of a tough, elastic and waterproof, non-adhesive nylon. This makes they quick and easy to install. Just stretch them over your rims and let them snap in place! Each box contain a pair of rim strips.
Continental's Revo Sealant is specifically designed for use with their Revolution tubeless-ready tires and it's great for tubular tires, too. It seals punctures and contains no protein or ammonia so it's safe for use in all wheels, too.

Pants. I put them on every weekday
When I first founded the UX practice where I currently work we were too small and new to support a dedicated researcher. So I stood in as the researcher and trained the designers in the basics of usability testing and RITE method. This is pretty common for small teams. As soon as the realities of the business allowed, I shifted this responsibility to a dedicated researcher.
It's very common for clients to resist paying for research. Can't a designer just do it? To that end, I recently shipped a successful app (10k 5-star ratings, 4.8-star aggregate) with designers doing all the usability testing. The answer is: "Yes, but…"
Many UX Research methodologies have roots in 19th and 20th century anthropological and linguistic field research. And those methodologies were developed by people doing their own research. Anthropologists like Malinowski and linguists like Sapir went out in the field to observe and document cultures and languages. So it's possible. But…
I don't recommend it. Here's why:
- Dedicated UX Researchers, like social scientists, have training in setting aside bias. It's not enough to follow the steps of a methodology; it requires a neutral and scientific mindset. Most designers are B.A.s and B.F.A.s who last encountered the scientific method in high school.
- It's incredibly difficult to set aside your own preconceptions and ego when testing something you designed. It's even harder to know whether or not you're doing it. You can only focus on one thing at a time. This means when a designer is doubling as a researcher, they're oscillating between facilitating the test and monitoring themselves to see whether they're facilitating the test fairly. It's too much to competently think about.
- Conducting usability testing, the methodology most commonly assigned to designers, is only one very small corner of UX Research. There are whole worlds of generative and formative research that many designers are completely unqualified to perform. I'd hazard a guess that the majority of UX designers are unfamiliar with the math required for competent quantitative analysis.
- Doing the research is only one part of a researcher's job. Prepping the study, choosing a methodology, recruiting appropriate subjects, documenting the results, and presenting them to the team are equally important tasks. In my experience, designers look at research as a way to test whether their hypothesis was right and then react accordingly, often neglecting to properly document and broadcast the results to the wider team. Or they use it as a blunt instrument to bludgeon people who disagree with them. It doesn't matter how valid the research is if the rest of the team/company don't know about it or trust it. UX Researchers are the Switzerland of product development.
- The social sciences are in the midst of a replication crisis, so maybe they're not the best example to emulate.
That being said, sometimes it's unavoidable due to resource or budget constraints. In which case, the decision becomes designer-led research or no research. If at all possible, I'd advocate for at least having designers swap work to validate. The drag factor of a hand-off is worth the gain in impartiality.

How we translate strategy into operational plans
In order to make the project a success, participants have worked out an approach for efficient collaboration.
This approach contains different steps:
Race or training camp:
- Search for interested profiles (desk research) and meet with potential participating clubs to explain concept and measure motivation.
- Gather data on each club and on all riders and collaborators that could participate. Hence an efficient way of subscribing can be organised as this is not easy with lots of parties involved.
- Each club screens interesting races per category. Based on the final calendars, a selection of races with ITD Team is determined.
- Per race a responsible is appointed (from country of race by preference). This person makes sure all communication with the organiser is perfect. The participating clubs make sure the national obligations are being met (permissions,…). In order to do this, a checklist has been made. This checklist also contains logistics, clothing, material, personnel, financial… aspects.
Race (or training camp) on site:
- Prepare roadbook with all details (hotel, detailed schedules, race circuit, rules, briefing, debriefing…).
- On site organisation
- Debriefing after the race and listing of points for further improvement.
- Development of the collaboration by sharing ideas, best practices, innovation, budget control, …
The success of implementation of the project will depend on the motivation of passionated volunteers within the clubs, a strict discipline in execution and the ability to keep an innovation-oriented mindset within the project responsibles.
We are determined to make this happen !
