One second spent on the positive development of our businesses is more effective than one hour spent slagging off our colleagues in public ...
Many of us use a number of social media platforms to engage with the international community of fellow copy-editors and proofreaders. Sometimes we might disagree with each other, which leads to discussion and differences of opinion. All good so far. There's nothing wrong with differences of opinion – it's healthy when other voices show us different ways of looking at things.
Sometimes, though, things can take a nastier turn whereby a person uses social media platforms to try to hurt us. And it's not just that being attacked online is hurtful. There's the additional fear that the aggressor's attacks will damage our reputations. So is it true and how should we defend ourselves?
While I was researching my marketing book, I came across this super article that was written back in 2012 by marketing and small-business commentator Ty Kiisel (@tykiisel). It may not be hot off the press but it's still relevant to any editorial business owner who engages on social media. You can read it here in full: 4 Tips to Manage Your Online Reputation (published on Forbes, 20 November 2012).
A few points really stood out for me in Kiisel's article:
Stepping back before hitting back ...
It's probable that, at one time or another, every one of us has felt that we've been treated unfairly, even monstrously, on a social media platform such as Twitter or Facebook. Certainly I've been involved in LinkedIn discussions where I've wanted to call out someone on their appalling behaviour because I was convinced that if I'd been communicating with them face to face they'd have found some manners. We're not talking about a difference of opinion in these cases. We're talking about people being rude, sarcastic and spiteful.
If you've ever been tempted to engage in an online war with someone who's publicly attacked you, been rude to you, or tried to harm or undermine your professional reputation, then take a few minutes to step back and think about the best response before you hit back. Note that in Kiisel's view the attacker's vicious behaviour is more likely to damage her own business reputation than yours.
Social media engagement is about communication and sharing. When we try to sell ourselves up by knocking others down – by publicly highlighting their apparent weaknesses or mistakes –we make ourselves appear unprofessional and untrustworthy. Given that many customers won't buy from people or organizations that appear unprofessional or untrustworthy, it's not a great game plan. It's more likely to turn into a PR disaster zone.
So if you're being attacked, think of it in Kiisel's terms:
Online aggressors are boring ...
When I was a kid there was a TV series on the BBC called Why Don't You? The theme-tune lyric went something on the lines of "... whyyyyy don't youuuu just switch off your television set and go and do something less boring instead". That's what we need to do with social media attackers – just switch them off and go and do something else less boring.
Attackers are extremely hurtful, unprofessional, untrustworthy and all the rest of it. But they're bores, too. They're the most boring bores in the kingdom of boredom [yawn].
When we join in their war and feed their aggression, it quickly becomes boring for the others in our community who are witnessing the fight. If we hit back in public, and it goes on too long, there's a risk that the aggressor won't be the only kid on the block who's making everyone else's eyelids droop.
Given the volume of "stuff" that we have to trawl through online, and the limited time we have to do it, we're all interested in getting the best bits and ignoring the rubbish. Switching off the online aggressor means we avoid becoming part of the junk.
How aggressors miss a trick ...
Not only are aggressors boring; they're desperate and creatively limited. They're not using their networking time to its best advantage. I'll share a little example.
A lot of the articles on this blog are written late at night so that my blogging doesn't interfere in my family time. I'm a proofreader but I'm also a human being. When I'm tired I make the odd mistake. And, anyway, we all know that perfect self-editing is virtually impossible. That's why we all do the jobs we do.
Last week I wrote something late at night and posted it live. I made a typo. It's not that my literacy is poor. It's just that I'm human. Anyway, someone in the international editorial community with whom I'd previously been unconnected sent me a private email to alert me to the typo. I thanked him profusely, amended the error, and then sought out this person on LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook so that I could connect with him.
He could have used the opportunity to humiliate me and undermine my reputation in the public arena. He could have left a sarcastic comment on my blog about my howler or posted something on LinkedIn: "Hey, look at that Louise Harnby. Credibility alert or what?!!! She calls herself a proofreader but she makes mistakes on her blog. What's that all about?!" But he didn't. He treated me with respect and recognized my human fallibility. He's the kind of person I want to connect with, share business ideas with, learn from, and engage with.
He took 30 seconds of his time to tap me, gently and privately, on the shoulder rather than publicly punching me in the face. His delicate handling of my error led to us connecting. Now my network is bigger and richer. I hope that he feels his is, too. And the typo is gone. It's a win–win.
When the opposite happens, though, there's only one loser: the aggressor. One second spent on the positive development of our businesses is more effective than one hour spent slagging off our colleagues in public.
Turning the aggressor off ...
Perhaps some of you have experienced that really annoying thing children do when they're not interested in what you're saying. They don't even bother to pretend. They just walk away like you're not there; like your voice has failed to make any sound; like your words have no worth or meaning. Like you have no control over them. Without even saying anything they just shut you down. Hmmm ... there's a lesson there.
So the next time someone hurts you online, ignore them. Don't give them your precious time and your precious space by entering into an unwinnable argument. Instead, just remove them from your online life – unfriend and unfollow them on Facebook; unfollow and block them on Twitter; unlink them on LinkedIn; set up your spam filter so that it junks them when they hit your inbox.
Act like they're not there.
There are too many fabulous people to connect with, learn from, talk to, engage with, even disagree with, to make energy spent on your online attacker a worthwhile experience.
Let's finish with a quotation attributed to George Bernard Shaw (hat tip to my colleague Beth Hamer for alerting me to this gem): "I learned long ago never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it."
Here's to online engagement without the mud!
Here are a few other interesting articles about the psychology of, and ways to deal with, online bullying, aggression and trolling in the business world.

Great advice! Slanging matches are all too public these days! We need to remember to keep cool and not rise to the bait.

It is so easy to get sucked into online warfare. I try to avoid it, but sometimes succumb. The problem I find is that I succumb when the attacker is the most infantile of attackers, someone I know who will whine incessantly about something and who will reject all advice because to accept the advice would be to forsake the whining.
2/4/2014 03:37:54 pm
Great blog, especially in light of the troll who is attacking so many of our editorial pro colleagues. Great advice.

Great article, Louise, and very timely. Did you see the "The Muse" article below it in the Forbes website too? Very helpful in the marketing context. That's the trouble with the internet: one thing leads to another, and before you know it an hour has gone by! (And that's the problem with studying proofreading and posting to colleagues - I am now wondering if the colon in the previous sentence was right!)

Ha! Your colon's perfectly placed! You make a good point, though - one has to be disciplined otherwise we spend too much time reading and not enough time doing what we do!

An excellent article - I didn't know there was someone going around trolling at the moment, but I always try to explain myself once if someone takes exception to something I've written, and then politely decline to interact further. I think I'm lucky, though: I've never been out-and-out attacked for something like this. I have had arguments on other matters flare up after something I've posted, but I've privately asked the perpetrators to take it off social media and/or desist altogether.

Wonderful post, Louise. Thank you. The fear of making typos online haunts me all the time, mostly because I know a lot of folks love to pounce on an error from a proofreader or editor. Cheers to your new colleague who handled the situation so well!

Katja Weitzenböck
was born in Tokyo, two years later the family moved to Erlangen, from the 4th grade on she went to the Nuremberg Rudolf-Steiner School, where she also graduated from high school. After that she went to Sydney, Australia for some years, then to New York, and did her acting training in Paris, where she lived for five years. She returned to Germany and soon established herself as a film and television actress. Since 2013 she has also been increasingly seen on stage.
I wouldn't want to have missed my school days at the Waldorf School. And that, although to be honest, for me the bad memories outweigh the good. Two experiences from that time are precious to me. One is the manifold encounters with different materials: wood, clay, metal, paper, fabric, colors, earth. I encountered these materials, got to know their essence, and I feel safe and comfortable with them to this day. I trust my hands.
The other experience was even more important for my life, because it was my career choice: the 12th grade play. We played "Rhinoceros" by Ionesco in French. I was given the role of Monsieur Botard, the absolute meanie of the play, and had to play him as a woman, as Madame Botard. So I came into the unexpected enjoyment of the freedom of evil beyond morality and decency. We made a guest performance at another school when the scenery suddenly collapsed during the performance. And something happened there that I'll never forget. As Madame Botard, I somehow managed to build this accident into the story. This improvisation felt like flying. It was the most beautiful, intense and strongest experience of my whole school time.
Absolute, consciously experienced freedom. Years later, when I asked myself the question, "What do I want to do in my life - not what should I do, what am I most interested in? - I thought of that moment and became an actress. To this day I sometimes search for and find this mental state, which of course never lasts. Namely, when my character acts as if on its own accord, all my preparation plays along within the character, no longer consciously controlled by me. When my figure surprises me with gestures, actions, thoughts and insights, when I can only witness what's going on and simply enjoy flying. Then my character tells me about universal human truths. These are moments of absolute bliss for me.
And the bad memories? I came to the Rudolf Steiner School in Nuremberg in the 4th grade after I had previously attended a regular state-run primary school in Erlangen where I had felt very comfortable. Apart from my long journey to school, I now had a special role in my class at the Waldorf School: I was taller, a better pupil, more ambitious, and blushed faster than anyone else. There was a group of boys in the class who formed a band. But they were not allowed to play in school, because electronically amplified music was considered "bad" and forbidden in the Waldorf world. This had caused some resentment to build up. When we entered the upper school and our much-loved and revered young class teacher turned the class over to other teachers, the angry boys called for a fundamental boycott. I resisted, if only because I didn't feel like spending more time in school with detention and missing the school bus. In addition, I had gotten used to actively participating in class, because the lesson time passed faster and I didn't have to study at home in the afternoon.
And so during my high school years I became a target for these boys, who let off their steam and resentment on me as well as the teachers. Almost everything that came out of my mouth was ripped to shreds and destroyed. The teachers never said a word about this at the time, ignoring the situation completely. And even at home I didn't tell anyone; I had no words at all for it, I dealt with it all by myself alone.
Ultimately, it took many years of hard work before I learned to develop compassion and understanding for the girl I was back then. The girl who swore never to claim that school had been a good time for her. No matter how great the Waldorf school is supposed to be. That's what I want to stick to today when I write about my school days.
I believe that the Waldorf School, more than other schools, offers sources of experience in which every child has the chance to find something that corresponds to an inner image, an inner idea, as happened to me in the theater play. On the other hand, the danger of an ideologically nurtured school is that people look the other way where something does not fit into their world view. According to the motto: "What shouldn't be, can't be."
I congratulate the Waldorf movement on its 100th anniversary, wish them good luck and success for the next 100 years and attach my very personal request: Beware of anthroposophical blinkers!
your Katja Weitzenböck
Janis McDavid
Born in Hamburg, grew up in the Ruhr area and attended the Rudolf Steiner School in Bochum. He is studying economics in Witten/Herdecke and has already published his first book: "Your best life: The courage to go beyond yourself and make the impossible possible". He is also a committed expert in the German Bundestag, UNICEF encourager, "YES, YOU CAN" brand ambassador and winner of the International Speaker Slam 2018 in Hamburg.
You can talk about Waldorf school and think what you want. I am happy to have enjoyed exactly this education and to have learned such different things. Especially in today's world, I have quickly experienced the value of how important it is to become a personality at school, a person with social and emotional intelligence, a sense of responsibility and a range of abilities. Because I am convinced that every child has strengths that are waiting to be discovered!
Karoline Eichhorn
She was born in Stuttgart and attended the Kräherwald Waldorf School. Subsequently she worked at the Folkwang acting school in Essen for many years, and as a theater actress. Since the 90s she has been increasingly on the road for TV and film work, most recently in the Netflix series "Dark".
So then, what was school for me? What was it that accompanied, supported and promoted me for 13 years?
I think it was the opportunity to develop as an individual and without any pressure. When I talk to my friends from back then - who by the way are still my friends today - about our school days, we always come back to the same point: having the time and support to be able to embark a personal journey without pressure (e.g. numeric grades given only after 12th grade, a single school community from 1st through 13th grade, subject block lessons), the freedom to decide what to be for or against on one's own. Basically, who am I and who do I want to be? Big questions, and I haven't a clue whether we'll ever find the answers, but we've been sent on our way with a full backpack that has allowed us to observe the world attentively, to develop an awareness of ourselves, others, and the environment.
And when I look around me, all the former Waldorf pupils I know are more than satisfied with the path they have taken.
Thomas Christian Südhof
grew up in Göttingen and Hanover and attended the Waldorf School there until he graduated from high school. After studying medicine and obtaining his doctorate, he moved to Dallas (USA), where he became Professor of Molecular Genetics in 1991. Today he is a professor at Stanford University, where he has dedicated himself to the study of synapses. In 2013, together with James Rothman and Randy Schekman, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine.
When my family moved to Hanover, I attended the Waldorf School there from the 2nd grade until high school graduation. Afterwards I studied medicine and later pursued a career as a scientist, which soon led me to the USA, where I have lived for almost 40 years now. I like to recall my time as a Waldorf student, which was very influential for me and left me with mainly positive memories. Two aspects were particularly important for my development. First, the impressive teachers who taught me. Since that time, I have seldom met such convincing and interesting people, and the experience of these personalities has become a lasting contribution to my life, especially since I often argued with these teachers and we disagreed completely. Secondly, I appreciate the freedom of thought and action that I experienced in school. I was mostly allowed to develop my own projects and ideas, which taught me to be independent. For these reasons I am extremely grateful to the Waldorf School in Hanover and its teachers for the education they gave me.
(You can learn more about Prof. Südhof in this video interview with him).
Moritz Rinke
Born in Worpswede, one of the leading writers of his generation and directs the Author's Program at the Berliner Ensemble.
"A few days ago I spoke on the phone with my former English teacher from the Waldorf School in Ottersberg, who also supervised and directed the theatrical performances at the school, for example our 8th grade class play. In the meantime, she must be around 90 and had spontaneously grabbed the phone to congratulate me on my appointment to the Berliner Ensemble. I heard her old, still familiar voice and it was as if I was suddenly back on the Waldorf stage and in the middle of my childhood. Probably that's what I'm so grateful to my school for. She let us be free, she allowed us to act, try things out, and fantasize for longer than is usually allowed pupils in a society that was perhaps already at that time very focused on high-performance. And I can say for myself that I have gained everything through this experience."
Samuel Weiss
Born in Männedorf near Zurich, he is a well-known theater actor. In addition, he has made guest appearances in film and television productions and is an award-winning radio play narrator. He sits on the jury of the theater competition for Waldorf 100.
When I think of the Waldorf School, I always first think of Joseph Beuys' sentence: "Where have they actually remained, the Waldorf students? All those special people who change the world?" I then always feel that first of all I have this obligation, this burden, to be special. Until now, however, I have neither saved the world nor do I like it when someone asks me if I can dance my name.
I dare not claim that my profession changes the world, and yet I wouldn't have become an actor without the Waldorf School. In the 12th grade I was supposed to play the aged King Lear. The role is also actually too big even for a seasoned actor. At the age of seventeen, at least sixty years too young for the role, I tried to expose myself to Shakespeare's madness and was certainly completely overwhelmed. I wanted to do justice to the monumental nature of the role by stretching my feelings into monumental shape -- cost what it will. So, in my last performance, it was my greatest wish to be able to cry with the dead Cordelia in my arms, to be able to cry unrestrainedly and realistically, to literally let myself dissolve in a sea of tears. To make sure this worked, I thought up a trick. Shortly before the show, I secretly smeared toothpaste in my eyes. But the desired effect did not materialize. I stepped on stage not crying, but foaming out of my eyes. Everyone could see the toothpaste, and obviously the whole situation was ridiculous. But then a small miracle happened, the spectators were somehow moved, a process I can't really explain to myself even to this day. Maybe the audience saw behind the silly trick with toothpaste a serious attempt to get a feeling that was bigger than myself. The ridiculous thing about it actually referred to the sublime, if you wanted to see it. Maybe that's what moved the audience, that someone was exposing himself to the contradiction between absurdity and lunacy. Or maybe I was in that second truly something special, or at least something particularly strange. This is where the core lies, the substance of Waldorf School that I was allowed to take with me. On the one hand it was the only place I had the opportunity to make a serious attempt to artistically come to grips with world literature.
On the other hand – and this seems to me to be much more important – the Waldorf School has managed to arouse a curiosity in me, a desire to simply try things out. And it encouraged me to endure the process, even if it seems ridiculous. In a world that is becoming ever colder and more uniform, I consider this a great gift. But whether or not toothpaste in the eyes is sufficient to make one pass a member of elite in the sense of Joseph Beuys is something one can only decide for oneself.
With this in mind: Dear Waldorf School, Happy Birthday on your first 100 years!"
Josefina Elsler
She attended the northernmost Waldorf school in Germany, in Flensburg. After her school days, she was successful as a sprinter for Germany. She is currently studying journalism and sports in Cologne.
I'm one of those people who likes to look back on their school days. I am really glad I had the privilege of experiencing a Waldorf education for 13 years plus kindergarten. The Waldorf approach has many characteristics that shape the learning and development of children in a special way. I am convinced that the artistic, social, and craft activities and the strengthening of the individual all contributed significantly to my personality. In contrast to many other young people, I was lucky enough to be able to pursue my personal interests outside of school, so that I found my means of expression in athletics alongside theater and music. It was rather a coincidence that I came to athletics at the age of 15 and found a new passion with the core discipline of the 100-meter sprint. In addition to balancing my life with a physical component, I was also able to immerse myself in a completely new world.
The 100-meter sprint is about perfection, you can't afford to make a single mistake if you want to compete at the highest level. To work to that point is a big challenge and an enormous thrill. After graduating from high school, I took up this challenge and concentrated fully on sprinting. I have worn the national jersey of Germany in the European Championships and World Championships, celebrated great successes and suffered painful defeats, but always fought on. The deep insights into high-performance sport and the valuable experiences I have gained around the world have shaped and strengthened me.
Nevertheless, I was never able to get involved one hundred percent in purely competitive sports, but have always sought creative balance and socially-relevant action. When the point came where I realized that I could not develop any further and I felt I lacked the sense of meaning in what I was doing, I decided to close this chapter of my life. Unlike artistic processes, competitive sport is limited by the body. It is nice that I was able to make this decision on my own, because I can now look back with satisfaction to this time and invest my learned willpower, stamina and energy in new projects.
I am looking forward to creating a sports event with the Waldorf Schools that goes beyond the performance of the individual and focuses on networking the schools and jointly achieving athletic goals. I am convinced that anyone who supports this project in a sporting way, no matter with whatever intensity, will encounter something great. From my experience I can say that overcoming physical boundaries is a feeling that fills you with pride and satisfaction.

After the sixth of November, one man will be elected to the office of President of the United States. One cannot know for sure, but it will be either Mitt Romney or Barack Obama. Regardless, life will continue in the United States. Movements of the political, philosophical, or religious variety will also continue. The conservative movement, though, must be very careful to keep this election in perspective. There is a chance that a man whose policies of collectivism, coercion, theft, and despotism may regain the White House for another four years. The United States, one must admit (with hesitation and resignation), would be destroyed by another term of these policies.
Truth, after all, is not relative— even in election years when it is hard to discern truth from lie.
The conservative must remember that, in the course of Romney's possible presidency, he might do damage to freedom in the United States, but the damage done would be minimal compared to Barack Obama's damage. Mitt Romney is by no means a "true" conservative. His trade policies reflect protectionist sentiments. Protectionism, equates to government intervention in the markets, in order to give the people in country an advantage over another. It may sound attractive, but it is not conservative. Apart from utilitarian concerns (i.e. crippling economies), protectionism contradicts all that conservatism stands for—freedom. There are other points of Romney's policy that should be of concern to any conservative.
Romney does not wish for less involvement of the United States in foreign nations. Rather, part of his platform is greater involvement in the Arab Spring. In the Middle East, he pledges to "support those individuals and groups that are seeking to instill lasting democratic values and build sturdy democratic institutions that will sustain open societies …." Adding to the beliefs opposite of conservatism in that statement, Romney eerily shows traces of George Soros in his support of "open societies." But this is not the end of Romney's starkly moderate foreign policy. Romney also promises to help Africa, as a whole, by promoting the values of capitalism, good government, and strong militaries. Yes, these all sound good and idealistic, but there exist innumerable barriers to their being successful. None of that takes into the point of meddling in foreign nations' affairs either, a policy conservatism opposes.
Thus, the conservative movement must not withdraw or slightly disband if Mitt Romney wins. A victory for Romney is only the beginning for the conservative movement. There still is much to be done before America is brought back to her principles of life and liberty.
The conservative movement must not fade into another movement. This is more important for the smaller segments of the movement, such as the Tea Party. The Tea Party has efficiently woken up innumerable citizens, but its task has still not ended. It must serve both as a means to spread the ideals of liberty and counteract the Occupy Movement. Occupy Wall Street, no matter where it is found, will always be based in anger and collectivism. It is focused on smashing windows and throwing Molotov cocktails, rather than non-violent ideals. Considering they don't deem destruction of property to be terrorism, we must think like them and redefine "non-violence" in order to understand and prepare for the worst.
Education must also be an integral part of the conservative movement. This does not mean "education" in the typical sense (i.e. children sitting in a classroom). Rather, the meaning of "education," in this sense, entails, literally, educating our fellow man—introducing them to thinkers not brought up in "normal" political discourse (John Locke, Ludwig von Mises, F.A. Hayek, etc.), showing them the "truth" of American history (rather than the collectivist and Progressive propaganda purported in the public schools), and teaching them to attempt living as the epitome of individualism (i.e. free, independent, thoughtful, and responsible).
Some will note, at this point, that none of these things relate to politics. This is the case because the conservative movement is not about politics, but about principles and philosophies. Politics shouldn't be the first goal, but the second. This is the final aim of the conservative movement. It must aim to change the mentality of the population, informing them of the danger we face. Immediately striking at a political solution will only bog down the movement and cause many to falter in their devotion to principles, in the name of utility and political machines.
When analyzing the conservative movement, in following this advice, many will go back to Barry Goldwater as the beginning. While their intentions may be good, this is not far enough. One must go further, beyond the Founding Fathers. It is with the English philosopher John Locke that our "journey" ends. Locke's ideas of natural rights and government were integral to the Founding Fathers, and the Constitution of the United States. Why did he produce ideas that had repercussions of liberty? In an empirical sense (i.e. required one to truly "know" his intentions), one cannot know. But, it can be reasoned, that he did not start with the goal of freedom. As any philosopher does, he started in the abstract world of thoughts, and then moved from there—eventually ending his intellectual journey in the realm of liberty.
It cannot start at politics, but at principles. After all, one cannot know how long that our political system may endure, but our principles shall endure perpetually.

fukei rensaku
When _2000
Where _Centre de Photographie, Genève
It is strange that photography sometimes shows us the invisible tensions present in things, a kind of intimate palpitation of landscapes and beings. We are sensitized to the fascinating intricacies of contemporary Japan; beneath the surface however, the invisible fabric of our contemplations and the unending depth of reality are contained in the representation. There is something else.
How else can one explain the intensity of certain aspects: the blue of the structures of the bridge under construction, the delicate explosions of green, and the indescribably reserved facades of buildings and bridges? The message which develops is of foliage only in that it is green, and no-mans land in the sense of undefined space.
fukei rensaku can also be read as a film, stills from a intimate diary rendered impersonal. In alternation between interior and exterior, landscapes and personal space, work like folding screens which can be constantly moved around to create new ephemeral spaces.

Making the decision to quit is a big one, and requires dedication, support, and organization. In the second part of our four-part series, we help breakdown what the process of quitting looks like, and how to do it.
Editor's note: Information and data included in this blog is derived from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
Knowing your reasons
Everyone knows smoking is bad for you, and that alone is a good enough reason to quit. But in order to effectively carry out your plan of quitting, take some time to think about why you smoke in the first place. Understanding your reasons for smoking can help you tackle the greater challenge of quitting. If it helps, make a list of all the reasons you want to quit, and keep it in a place where you'll see it every day.
A lot of folks hold back from quitting smoking because of their dependence on nicotine -- it's literally a hard habit to break. In case you didn't know, nicotine is a chemical found in cigarettes that makes you addicted to smoking. So when you stop smoking, your body experiences withdrawal symptoms. Most physical symptoms can last for a few days, to a few weeks -- but you still might experience a craving for a cigarette.
Here are a few symptoms you may experience while quitting. Remember, it's only temporary!
- Feel a little depressed
- Be unable to sleep
- Become cranky, frustrated, or mad
- Feel anxious, nervous, or restless
- Have trouble thinking clearly
Knowing your triggers
Particular feelings, people, and places become associated with smoking, and being around them when you're trying to quit can trigger you. And by trigger, we mean that it may want to make you smoke. If you can avoid your triggers, quitting smoking will be a lot easier. Here are some tips on avoiding your triggers:
- Go to places that are smoke-free. Avoid places that allow smoking.
- Hang out with people who don't smoke. It may mean you don't hang out with certain friends or coworkers, but it will help you avoid wanting to smoke.
- Find something to entertain your hands. Everyone is different, and there are plenty of options. Fidget toys, pens, rings, and toothpick might be a good place to start.
- Breathe in, breathe out. When you're going through a rough patch, take a moment to remember why you're quitting smoking, and how much your life will change for the better.
- This may seem like a no-brainer, but throw out your cigarettes, lighters, matches. Do not keep an extra pack "just in case." And any other smoking materials, or items that remind you of smoking. Creating a smoke-free environment is important.
Telling Your Family
Support makes a big difference when you're trying to accomplish a goal. So make sure to let your friends and family know you're quitting smoking. That way, they are aware of the changes you're making, and you can feel supported. Asking them to check in with you and your progress can definitely help, as can doing smoke-free activities with them. If you need tips on how to ask for support, you can find those here.
Consider a Program For Your Plan
Having a plan for a plan is awesome. And if you need a little extra help in outlining how you're going to quit, you can check out some personalized plans to help you. You can do it!
Other Options
If quitting cold turkey isn't right for you, there are still ways to quit. For example, consider nicotine replacement therapy. Check out the links below to explore those.
Reward Yourself For Milestones
No step is too small to celebrate. Throughout the quitting process, be sure to treat yourself. It's up to you: a milestone could be not smoking for 24 hours, a week, a month, and so on. You are your biggest cheerleader, so be sure to pat yourself on the back during this process. Take yourself out to dinner, go to the movies, or buy that new watch you've been wanting.
How Apicha CHC Can Help You
At Apicha CHC, we're here to help. Our Primary Care Providers (PCPs) conduct annual smoking assessments all patients of the Primary Care Clinic. If one of our patients smokes, the provider discusses tobacco cessation (also known as quitting) with patients at every visit and will urge them to quit. If the patient is willing to make a quit attempt at the time, the PCP will offer medication and provide a referral for counseling to help the patient, as appropriate. You can schedule an appointment here.

Oakland, California (EastBayDaily) — In her newly published book It's About the Journey, Dr. Evelyn Joyce Owens shares her remarkable lifelong journey towards a century that she calls, "a time of fast paced energy, creation and destruction, constant change, unpredictability and ever present anxiety." Originally penned as a legacy to her children, Owens boldly presents to readers deeply personal glimpses of her life, her reflections and philosophy, hopes and aspirations, uniquely shaped by her multi-cultural roots.
"As a young woman in my twenties with children to whom I wanted to leave something of myself, I determined that one of the most meaningful legacies I could give them was an honest perspective of my life as I saw it," says Owens. "In keeping with this policy, every ten years, I took an honest, no holds barred review of my life as I saw it within the time frame of that period in time."
What makes her story interesting is that Owens comes from a totally diverse background. She is an American Black woman, whose most immediate heritage is West Indian, Native American, combined with African ancestry. In addition, she grew up in a San Francisco Bay Area which is a melting pot of Blacks, Japanese, Filipinos, Italians, Jews, and other minorities. All these shaped her unique experiences and eventually her views about herself, the family, the world and its values.
Through her life experiences and personal and professional growth, she gradually became aware that her story may well be the story of anyone who has struggled to overcome adversity and experienced the joy of self-discovery. She realized that things are not always what they appear to be. Within every seeming failure is the kernel of truth, of hope, and of victory. Life itself is truly about people's journey.
Poignant, multifaceted and transforming, It's About the Journey challenges readers to live neither in the past nor the future, but to live now in the present—both fully and creatively. Owens believes that even if only one person can resonate with her story and gain hope from it, she will be "well satisfied and fulfilled."
For more information on this book, interested parties may log on to http://www.Xlibris.com.
About the Author Dr. Evelyn Joyce Owens is of African-American and Native American heritage. She was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. Her background is, consequently, a cosmopolitan mixture of Panamanian descent from her mother and Southern descent from her father. Familiarity with a variety of cultures and people in her life's experiences (including much exposure to a positive southern Black ethic) has influenced her philosophy and course of life. Growth and creativity are keys to her personal beliefs and goals. Sharing of all human experiences with others is her job and life's work.

On March 6, 1946, Rolex founder Hans Wilsdorf announced his intention to create a watch that our agents could sell at a more modest price than our Rolex watches, and yet one that would attain the standards of dependability for which Rolex is famous. Thus, the Tudor Watch Company was born.
In 1952, Tudor launched the Oyster Prince, and it was a resounding success. From the very first Tudor Oyster Princes that rolled off the assembly line in 1952, the model featured two technical innovations that were theretofore exclusive to Rolex: automatic movements and the trademark waterproof Rolex Oyster case. The advertising campaign that announced the Oyster Prince's introduction featured men working in harsh, forbidding conditions, such as miners or construction workers, all with a Tudor Oyster Prince strapped to their wrists.
The Tudor Oyster Prince's reputation for sturdiness and dependability was tested almost immediately. In 1952, the Royal Navy of the United Kingdom organized a scientific expedition to the northernmost reaches of Greenland. Contrary to popular belief, it was not the Longines Greenlander (Reference 23088) that accompanied this expedition, but the Tudor Oyster Prince, one for each of the thirty crew members.
Captain J.D. Walker of the Expedition was so taken with the performance of his Tudor Oyster Prince that he wrote a letter to Rolex commending them for their superlative product:
Having recently returned to England after thirteen months with the British North Greenland Expedition, I should like to express my extreme admiration for the Rolex Tudor Oyster Prince which I wore on my wrist throughout my tour with the Expedition... Temperatures varied from 70 degrees Fahrenheit to -50 degrees Fahrenheit, and on many occasions during the thaw period the watch was unavoidably immersed in water... Despite these trials, occasional time signals broadcast from England proved that my Rolex Tudor Prince watch was maintaining a remarkable accuracy. On no occasion did it require to be wound by hand...

Located in the Irish parish of Eadestown, the Punchestown Racecourse is home to the National Hunt Festival of Ireland. Jump racing has been conducted here since the Punchestown Races were organised in the 19th century, later reconstituted as the `Kildare and National Hunt Steeplechases in 1861. By 1868, the meeting had become so popular that its first day drew a crowd of some 150,000 spectators.
The current Punchestown Irish National Hunt Festival, or Punchestown Festival for short, is considered to be the major horse racing event of the Irish National Hunt Season. It takes place each year during the last week of April or first week of May and stretches over five days, from Tuesday through Saturday. Comparisons to Englands Cheltenham Festival, which is run in a very similar format, are quite common.
Central to the Punchestown Festival are more than two dozen major races, both jumps and flats, with eleven rated as Grade 1. The most important contests include the Champion Chase, the Ryanair Novice Chase, the Champion Hurdle, the World Series Hurdle, the Evening Herald Champion Novice Hurdle, the Growise Champion Novice Chase, and the Champion INH Flat Race, among others.
One of the most anticipated features is the Punchestown Guinness Gold Cup held on race-week Wednesday. Introduced in its present version in 1999, this jump race replaced a previous one open only to novices. It was initially sponsored by Heineken, and then Diageo Plc., who have used it to promote their Guinness brand since 2005.
This is a Grade 1 National Hunt chase open to horses aged five years and older. Run on turf, it covers a distance of three miles and one furlong, with seventeen fences to be cleared. Many of the chasers are the same as those who run for the Cheltenham Gold Cup in March. The last time a horse won both races in the same year was in 2006, when War Of Attrition beat Beef Or Salmon by a comfortable margin of two-and-a-half-lengths.
Another focal point is the Avon Ri La Touche Cup, which is run over Punchestowns legendary banks course on race-week Thursday. It is a uniquely Irish event that combines steeplechasing and hunting over four miles and three furlongs. In 2010, this race was selected to become part of a new European Series of ten races held in six countries known as the Crystal Cup. Involving France, Belgium, Italy, the Czech Republic, and England as well as Ireland, it offers a combined prize fund of over 700,000, with a trophy and an additional 10,000 going to the most successful stable at the end of the series.
Apart from its role as the highlight of the Irish racing season, the Punchestown Festival is also an indispensable item on the Irish social calendar. It combines thrilling race action with live entertainment, delicious food, and plentiful drinks. With a casual atmosphere, including complimentary activities for children and no dress code, enjoyment can be had by the entire family.
Beyond the paddocks, gathering places at the Punchestown Festival include: the Dobbins Food Hall with its array of top-quality dishes and home made breads; the La Touch Café bar on the ground floor of the main grand stand serving snacks, coffees and pastries; and a main stage main stage used for an entertainment programme of live music, children`s entertainment, fashion shows, best dressed finals, and expert betting panels.
On the first four days of the Festival, Tuesday through Friday, the first post time is at 3:40pm, with gates opening from 11:30am. The last race of each day starts around 7:15pm. On the final day, Saturday, which is known as Punchestown Family Day, the first race is se for 2:30pm and the gates open a half an hour earlier.

Named for its crown of stiff golden feathers, the grey crowned crane (Balearica regulorum) rules over the savannahs of Southern and Eastern Africa. They may also be found in wetter habitats such as marshes and around lakes. Although its plumage is mainly grey, it exhibits shades of white, gold, red and black. They reach around 1 metre in height and even wander around like royalty – with their entire body postured upright.
African crowned cranes (which includes the closely related black crowned crane) are the only cranes that can grip branches, enabling them to roost up in trees. Grey crowned cranes have a spectacular breeding display. Jumping, dancing and bowing are just some of the tactics used to attract a mate. They also deploy a booming call by inflating their red gular sac (the bit of red skin beneath their chin). Once they have successfully mated and created their nest, grey crowned cranes will lay a clutch 2-5 eggs.
Omnivorous, these birds have a varied diet. Examples include grasses, seeds, insects, frogs, snakes, worms and small fish. They have adopted an effective hunting mechanism, stamping their feet as they walk to flush out insects and other invertebrates. A similar strategy is used when they follow larger grazing herbivores such as antelopes and rhinos, except they don't have to do any work. They simply follow these mammals and swiftly devour any small creatures turned up by the passing grazer. This is an example of commensalism. Commensalism is a form of symbiosis (a biological interaction between two organisms) in which one organisms benefits whilst the other is unaffected. In this case, the grey crowned crane benefits and the grazing mammal is unaffected.
Sadly, these royal birds are endangered. Grey crowned cranes face a plethora of ongoing threats. Drainage of the natural wetlands in their habitat is leaving them with fewer places to nest. Overgrazing by livestock is limiting their availability of food. Pesticide pollution is interfering with the delicate ecological balance of Africa. Live capture and egg collection for commercial trade is also a detrimental threat to these cranes. However, organisations such as the International Crane Foundation are helping to conserve this species. By improving and enforcing harsher policies that strengthen the consequences of the illegal wildlife trade, they hope to reduce the atrocity of this trade. Moreover, they are encouraging methods to minimise the conflict between grey crowned cranes and traditional farmers.
One of the things I can do is to spread a wider awareness for the status of these cranes and the threats they face. As the national animal of Uganda, the grey crowned crane even appears on the country's flag. They are unique in both appearance and behaviour and play a great ecological role. Their reign is not yet over.

Authorizing Users
This document focuses on controlling access to repositories shared over an intranet / the Internet. This is a subpage of PublishingRepositories. It does not describe what the various technologies are, simply how to implement them in a Mercurial context.
1. Access Control for remote users.
Mercurial does not natively support restricting read access, though with extensions it does support restricting write access. So your access control will be split into a few different places.
- Authentication and 1st level of access control is the job of the web server's authentication and .htpasswd or shared ssh and its keys files. This means that you'll configure it differently depending on if you use http vs ssh.
- If using hgweb, you can offload some of the access control (though not the authentication) to the [web] section of each repo's hgrc file via the allow_read and deny_read sections.
- If using shared ssh, depending on the wrapper tools that you use, there may be additional ways to restrict access beyond the presence/absence of key files.
- Anybody who is granted access by your web server / ssh infrastructure has at least read-only access to your repository.
- If there is no distinction between read-only and read-write users and also no distinction between access permissions for different repos or branches, then you're done.
- If different repositories have different sets of read-access permissions, you will need to make further web server / ssh infrastructure changes.
- hgweb: allow_read, deny_read settings per repo.
- hgweb alternative: set up different URL paths for repos with different permissions so that each path can have its own .htaccess rules.
- different shared ssh schemes: different settings.
If different branches within a repository have different write-access permissions, then you need the AclExtension. This must be configured separately per-repo.
- If different repos on your server have different write permissions, then there are a few ways to implement this:
The AclExtension
- hgweb: the allow_write and deny_write settings per repo
- different shared ssh schemes: different settings.
This sounds somewhat complicated and it is. But you will find a set of configurations that works for you, then you just need to write a single global access configuration file. And presumably you already have some sort of global users/groups and user/group permissions file, and you just need to write a script that takes the users and rules files and turns them into the many different hgweb config files, ssh wrapper config files, AclExtension config files etc. (Making sure to handle any file updates/copies in an atomic manner, of course.) And everytime one of your two global files changes, you just trigger your script to run and update everything.
If you write your own hooks, you'll need to figure out the userid of the pusher. This is unfortunately not a first class Mercurial variable. (IMHO, it should be.) We can glean it from this code from the AclExtension.
2. Access Control: Checkins within a push
Essentially, there is none.
A basic feature of Mercurial is that there is no real authentication of committers, just of pushers (and only then via http/ssh). So you've got to decide what your rules are going to be about if a person is allowed to push somebody else's commits and if so if the authors of those commits must all be authorized to push to your repository or if it is enough that the pusher "vouches for them" by pushing their changesets.
Here's a hook that you can modify to do what you want with this policy.
import re, subprocess, os
import getpass, urllib
from mercurial.i18n import _
from mercurial import util, templatefilters
AUTHUSERFILE = '/path/to/apache.htaccess.for.your.repo'
def hook(ui, repo, hooktype, node=None, source=None, **kwargs):
if hooktype not in ['pretxnchangegroup', 'pretxncommit']:
raise util.Abort(_('config error - dts.py hook cannot be a hook type "%s".') % hooktype )
#From hgext/acl.py
pusher = None
if source == 'serve' and 'url' in kwargs:
url = kwargs['url'].split(':')
if url[0] == 'remote' and url[1].startswith('http'):
pusher = urllib.unquote(url[3])
if pusher is None:
pusher = getpass.getuser()
#end of hgext/acl.py code
pusher_seen = False
for rev in xrange(repo[node], len(repo)):
ctxuser = templatefilters.person(repo[rev].user())
#ui.write("Pusher %s, committer %s for id %d\n" % (pusher, ctxuser, rev))
if (ctxuser == pusher):
pusher_seen = True
# ui.write("ERROR: You may not push changes not made by yourself.\n");
# return 1
p = subprocess.call("grep -q '^%s:' %s" % (ctxuser, AUTHUSERFILE), shell=True)
if (p):
ui.write("ERROR: Changeset %d committed by %s who is not authorized to commit.\n"
% (rev, ctxuser))
return 1
if ( not pusher_seen):
ui.write("ERROR: Push done by %s, but does not contain any commits by %s. Blocked.\n"
% (pusher, pusher))
return 1
return 0
2.1. Correlating checkins to pushes
The problems with the above are twofold.
You cannot tell who "vouched for" whom because there is no out of the box support for recording this information. Google "mercurial pushlog" for options. The Mozilla project has a nice sqlite-based pushlog implementation. See hgcustom: you'll need stuff from all the repos: pushlog, hghooks and hg_templates. Also note that it only supports SSH access so it does not extract the http user properly. You'll need to use the chunk of code from hgext/acl.py that's already quoted above.
- Anybody can edit their ~/.hgrc and say that they have any userid they want. So even with pushlogs, all you get is that "jdoe" pushed and vouched for a commit that claims it was coded by "xwong".
(This may seem ridiculously picky. But imagine you work in a FDA- or FAA-regulated industry where traceability of everything is absolutely paramount. If you read in the newspaper that the company who wrote the software that made your grandfather's pacemaker malfunction, or the plane's landing gear fail to retract, or the 911 call fail to be routed could not really say who it was who introduced that faulty line of code because it was just the way their VCS worked, would you accept that as ok?)

Comfortable but could be more hardy
I have had my first pair of these scrubs for 12 months. The tops have survived well but I have already had to replace pants due to wear in the crutch/gesset region. Could this area be more sturdy???
Go to scrubs
Always go with dickies scrubs. Size down one. Comfy but not cheap
Comfortable pants with good quality stitching on the seams and pockets. Can't comment on how well the color holds up long-term as i haven't owned them long, but i'll definitely be buying them again.
Nice one
I have been using them for Liverpool uniform and I am happy about the product.
Scrub pants
Nice colour, good cut and quality and I like the drawstring plus elastic waist, very comfy. Will buy again.

THIS is the shocking moment an OAP was dragged along the floor and kicked as a hooded thug wrestled her handbag from her.
The elderly woman was mugged in broad daylight on a Bradford street yesterday afternoon.
Footage shows her walking with a man in a white hooded jacket following her.
He moves quicker and suddenly speeds up as she reaches a crossing.
He grabs her bag from behind and as the woman refuses to let go she is pulled down onto the cobbles.
The mugger tries to rip it from her hands and drags her along the floor, kicking her as she fights him.
Eventually the man escapes with the bag and leaves the woman lying on the floor.
The shocking footage has gone viral with over 300,000 views after the woman's son uploaded the footage to Facebook.
Ian Fearnley posted the footage and said: "So this is my mum in the video. Please share the f**k out of it and get this scumbag caught. Happened on southfield lane,great horton. Bradford just after lunch today (SIC)."
West Yorkshire Police have since confirmed a 30-year-old man has been arrested following the incident.
A spokesman for West Yorkshire Police said: "Police have arrested a 30-year-old man following a robbery involving an elderly female in the Great Horton area of Bradford yesterday (Monday).
"He remains in custody at this time and enquiries are continuing."

Who doesn't get annoyed by long email chains dragging on well past the bottom of your computer screen? Trying to find specific information in the string is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Even worse—think about your inbox flooded with unwieldy email threads, unfortunately not uncommon for a finance department team member or a manager dealing with approvals for various budgets and expenses.
Are you looking for a method to the madness? Believe it or not, a solution is at your fingertips. Finance process automation can take the chaos out of email accounts and eliminate time lost to mundane, repetitive tasks so more of the workday can be spent completing specialized tasks software can't perform on its own.
How Does Finance Process Automation Work?
Workflows surrounding financial processes are cumbersome and often require substantial communication, especially for budget and expense approval.
A cloud-based automated software system brings all the dialogue and notifications required for approvals and reimbursements onto one streamlined system, accessible via a mobile phone or a computer anywhere an Internet connection is available. Procedure policies are clearly outlined by predefined workflows. Conditions are set in place to send each form to the correct manager at the right time under the specified settings, according to the amount of the request. Core business processes run like a well-oiled machine instead of generating overloaded email inboxes and subsequent delays.
Problems with Manual Approval Processes
When manual processes shifted from paper to digital mediums, the ease of sharing and updating documents improved, but the volume of communications channeled through email exploded. In a 2018 survey, 55% of workers said excessive emails get in the way of work. Email is costing us time to innovate. Also, the path of approvals via email can be ambiguous; rerouted emails delay critical tasks, resulting in further company losses.
Non-compliance, usually a result of vague internal standards, needlessly depletes company funds for rework. Constant interruptions, often for approvals, drag productivity down 40%. When data is transferred from multiple forms to emails and spreadsheets, numbers are likely to be mixed up and costly time is spent juggling all the data. Also, hunting down internal documents consumes an average of eight hours a week. Delays stemming from manual processes cripple business advancement.
As a company grows, problems surrounding manual processes multiply—data entry to overflowing spreadsheets surges and more emails are required for more approvals, increasing chances of missed or delayed requests. Finance team members' repetitive tasks grow to fill the majority of their workday, leaving little time for strategic work.
Automation: A Sure Solution
When financial approvals travel through an automated system, requests and approvals go to the right person every time. Parameters can be set for requests under certain amounts to go to supervisors, while more expensive requests go to top management, ensuring no one is needlessly interrupted. Every employee involved in the process can track the approval rather than onerously troubleshooting bottleneck issues.
Workflows are traced via tailor-made, real-time visual reports on an interactive dashboard, providing analytics to improve efficiency. Integrating an automated workflow system with finance software cuts down on data transfer from requests and approvals to balance sheets. Both communication and collaboration improve, and central finance-related tasks such as journal entries, account reconciliation, and financial statement preparation can be completed in record time with finance software integration.
A straightforward drag-and-drop interface enables users to create workflow tasks and form fields effortlessly. Approvals can be made through a mobile app, speeding up decision making. Compliance with company policies naturally falls into place, thanks to predefined workflows and consistent processes; security of data is guaranteed, including backups to prevent data loss.
Processes Ripe for Automation
To cut down on approval request chaos, you can automate each of these processes today in less than 15 minutes each!
- Budget Approvals
- Expense Approvals
- Invoice Approvals
- Travel Requests
- Asset Purchases
- Capital Expenditures
- Cheque Requests
- Employee Reimbursements
An IT expert isn't needed; intuitive pre-programmed apps are available for download but remain customizable for your business's needs. For the more tech-savvy, an original app can also be created from start to finish.
Think Ahead, Stay Ahead
Still tempted to just "get by" with the current email system? Trying something new can be a little nerve-wracking, but innovation and scalability are crucial for business expansion and success. A 2017 study reported two delayed approvals per week could result in 100 late projects per year!
Protect your business from becoming another negative statistic, wasting excessive time, money, and effort. Before bottlenecks and delays hinder company growth, increase the volume of high-value work and gain an edge over your competitors by automating financial processes.

These verses feel as though they stem immediately from the ones preceding them. Of course, all Quranic verses of a particular surah stem from the verses preceding them, but oftentimes the guiding breaks we find (and use for Quran Read-A-Long), make for a neat subject break, too. Here, however, it seems that we are still talking of the importance of turning towards the Qa'aba and the Holy Mosque that enshrines it.
I think the line in verse 150 is interesting, when it asks everyone to turn towards the Holy Mosque so that "people may have no cause for argument against you." My curiosity is about the ability to take issue with others' way of worship that is conveyed here. On the one hand, it's nice because it says that we shouldn't argue so long as we all pray the right direction. Seems easy and basic enough and leaves little room for argument. However, it does seem to imply that there is cause to argue with one another about such issues as prayer. I also wonder (if this is even so), whether or not this argument can be taken up with non-Muslims who obviously aren't facing this direction. Or is this just something internal to Islam so long as those not praying in the right direction aren't actually wicked?
The message in verse 152 is lovely: be grateful. That's right: be grateful! There is always something for which to be grateful. My mother hammers that lesson into me all the time. When I'm down or dejected or complaining, she always reminds me that there's always something for which to be grateful. This isn't meant to be annoying or to belittle my problems but to help me see past them. By telling me to look for that for which I am grateful and concentrate on it, it's amazing how quickly I can feel better. I don't know the last time my mom cracked the Quran open, but it looks like her message to me comes straight from God. Ah, the universal wisdom to be found in the Quran. Gotta love it!
What did you think of these verses? Do you have anything that you can add to help us understand their meaning better?

The Cow 148-152
148. Each has a goal to which he turns. So strive towards piety and excel the others: God will bring you all together wheresoever you be. God has power over every thing. 149. Wherever you come from turn towards the Holy Mosque: This in truth is from your Lord. God is not negligent of all you do. 150. Whichever place you come from turn towards the Holy Mosque, and wherever you are, turn you faces towards it so that people may have no cause for argument against you, except such among them as are wicked. But do not fear them, fear Me that I may accomplish My favors on you, and you may find the right way perchance. 151. Even as We sent a messenger from among you to convey Our messages to you and cleanse you, and teach you the Book and the wisdom, and what you did not know; 152. So, therefore, remember Me, and I shall remember you; and give thanks and do not be ungrateful.
