He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn, feel, change, grow, live, and love.” ~Leo BuscagliaĦ. The person who risks nothing does nothing, has nothing, is nothing. But risk must be taken because the greatest hazard of life is to risk nothing. “If your dreams don’t scare you, they’re not big enough.” ~Ellen Johnson Sirleafĥ. “I am learning every day to allow the space between where I am and where I want to be to inspire me and not terrify me.” ~Tracee Ellis Rossģ. “Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear.” ~Mark TwainĢ. If you’re an entrepreneur who is interested in increasing your confidence, courage, and emotional resilience, you can learn more about my mindset coaching for entrepreneurs HERE.ġ. So I’ll wrap up today’s short blog post with my 15 favorite quotes on courage and fear, the perfect recipe for reminding your own fear who is boss One that I personally find to be particularly powerful is a little injection of inspiration. There are many other techniques I use with my clients (as well as myself) in order to help them ensure that fear doesn’t get to take the reigns of their life. You’ve never done the things you wanted to, you’ve missed out on opportunities and you’ve spent the past few decades not being true to your values and priorities. So often we let our actions be dictated by our emotions, which is the perfect recipe for waking up at the age of 50 and realizing you’ve lived a life you’re not proud of. “I’m scared AND I’m going to plan a trip to SE Asia for my upcoming vacation.” “I would plan a trip to SE Asia for my upcoming vacation, BUT I’m scared.” Usually, I put into action this technique that I use with my patients which comes from “Acceptance and Commitment Therapy” and is called “exchanging BUT for AND.” Oh yes, I may have created a life for myself in another country halfway around the world from where I grew up and I now am doing what could be considered the job of my dreams, but am I fearless? Oh no, I am so far from it.īut I do feel successful in the sense that more often than not I don’t let this fear paralyze me (the exception being my lack of recent blog posts). Sometimes even fear of getting out of bed in the morning. And it’s a topic I know very well from my own personal experiences. How else could we have gotten to where we are unless our lives were devoid of fear? This is a topic that seems to come up in almost every single session I have. There’s this myth circulating around in our society that those of us who follow our dreams are fearless. There’s also one other factor that comes into play in my procrastination on writing content, one that probably almost any writer, or human being for that matter, could relate to and that is…. Between coaching clients, running the Location Independent Therapists community, writing my book, taking care of my son, and making time for my own self-care…well my blog sometimes gets put on the back burner. Unfortunately, there never seems to be enough time to put into writing all of the topics I’d like to share on. Each and everyday topics come up in my coaching sessions that make me think “ooh! That would make a great blog post!” The past few weeks have been incredibly busy and I’m finding it hard to carve out time in my schedule to write content for this site.

5/7/2023 0 Comments Aladin genie lampWe learn that he’s been in the bottle for centuries. When he uncaps the bottle, a djinn bursts out. In the story "The Fisherman and the Jinni," a fisherman's nets bring up a copper bottle with Solomon's seal. But there are some who are imprisoned, or who serve humans. They may play matchmaker, or marry humans, or work mischief. If you look at the older Nights, most of the djinni are free agents, not unlike fairies or other spirits in European stories. When Galland published Diyab’s stories, he never mentioned his source or gave any credit. He went looking for new ones to insert, stories that had never been part of the collection before – including “Aladdin” and “Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves.” He got these from a Syrian storyteller named Hanna Diyab, in 1709. However, Galland was working from an incomplete manuscript, and eventually ran out of stories. The collection was a huge hit and became incredibly influential. Aladdin did not enter the collection until the French writer Antoine Galland began publishing Les mille et une nuits, from 1704 to 1717 - the first known European translation of the Nights. However, there is no Arabic textual source. "Aladdin" is grouped with the stories of The Book of One Thousand and One Nights, also known as the Arabian Nights. But where did they come from? Why do they serve the holder of the objects? Why a lamp?īefore tackling the lamp, it's important to look at where the story came from. There is clearly a power hierarchy, with one genie stronger than the other. The ring and lamp don’t actually contain the genies rather, they summon them from somewhere else, and the genies must obey whoever hold the objects. The story was an instant classic, but contains many questions about the nature of genies. In an epilogue, the sorcerer's brother makes a try for the lamp, but Aladdin wins again. Then the sorcerer steals the lamp back, and Aladdin must recover it. Aladdin falls for the local princess and orders the lamp-genie to bring her to his chambers at night, then marries her and moves into a magnificent palace built by the lamp-genie. Abandoned in the cave, Aladdin finds himself in possession of a magic ring that summons a genie, and of course the lamp, which summons an even more powerful genie. In the story of "Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp," a sorcerer convinces a young boy, Aladdin, to fetch him a magic lamp from underground cavern. 5/7/2023 0 Comments Cute cupcake bakerPlace a groundhog face gently in the center until secure. Roll or press the frosted sides of the cupcake into chocolate wafer cookie crumbs for the soil.Apply the frosting around the sides of the cupcake with a downward motion using the offset spatula, leaving a “well” in the center. Frost the cupcakes using an offset spatula.If they cups started to warm up from your touch, place them in the fridge for a few minutes while you frost the cupcakes.Draw on eyes using a black edible ink pen and let dry.For the teeth, take the marshmallow bits, press them together flat for teeth and attach them with melted coating.Then dot on more coating and attach the nose, and two candy eyes.Use a toothpick dipped in some melted chocolate coating to act as glue and attach the candies.To make the faces, first separate the peanut butter cups from the wrappers, but leave on so you can move them around without getting chocolate on your fingers.Mini marshmallow bits for exaggerated teeth.Chocolate wafer cookies crumbled up for dirt.Hershey’s Chocolate Drops for cheeks and paws.Then you just need to organize your candies to decorate. You can use the chocolate cupcake and frosting recipe below to get started. If he sees his shadow, then he’s predicted another six weeks of wintery weather.īut regardless if he’s right are not, I hope these little guys make you smile. I’m hoping for a cloudy morning when Punxsutawney Phil pokes his little head out this morning. Now, I couldn’t be more ready for Spring. Bookmark these cuties if you want to make them next year for Groundhog Day… or I guess if you need any Beaver cupcake inspiration, then the faces could come in handy for that too. Happy Groundhog Day!!! I know it’s late in the game to make these little guys, but I had a last minute idea for them this weekend using some fave candies and I didn’t want to a year to see how they might turn out. 5/7/2023 0 Comments Wolfram player capanilitiesNowadays, tracking is dominated by pipelines that perform object detection followed by temporal association, also known as tracking-by-detection. This changed with the rise of powerful deep networks. Tracking has traditionally been the art of following interest points through space and time. The article concludes with identifying the requirements and discuss open research challenges in Edge computing. It also discusses the importance of Edge computing in real life scenarios where response time constitutes the fundamental requirement for many applications. This article is meant to serve as a comprehensive survey of recent advancements in Edge computing highlighting the core applications. Significant research has been carried out in the area of Edge computing, which is reviewed in terms of latest developments such as Mobile Edge Computing, Cloudlet, and Fog computing, resulting in providing researchers with more insight into the existing solutions and future applications. The Edge computing paradigm provides low latency, mobility, and location awareness support to delay-sensitive applications. It serves as a key enabler for many future technologies like 5G, Internet of Things (IoT), augmented reality and vehicle-to-vehicle communications by connecting cloud computing facilities and services to the end users. In recent years, the Edge computing paradigm has gained considerable popularity in academic and industrial circles. At last, conclude by identifying promising future directions. Detailed discussions on some important applications in object detection areas such as pedestrian detection, crowd detection, etc, and real-time object detection on Gpu-based embedded systems have been presented. Several topics have been included such as Viola-Jones (VJ), Histogram of Oriented Gradient (HOG), One-shot and Two-shot detectors, benchmark datasets, evaluation metrics, speed-up techniques, and current state-of-art object detectors. This paper shows a detailed survey on recent advancements and achievements in object detection using various deep learning techniques is presented. Earlier traditional detection methods were used for detecting the objects since 2012 with the introduction of convolutional neural networks thereafter deep learning-based techniques were used for feature extraction and it led to remarkable breakthroughs in this area. One of the most challenging and fundamental problem in object detection is locating a specific object from the multiple-objects present in the scene. In recent years there is remarkable progress in one of the computer vision application area is object detection. 5/7/2023 0 Comments Brisk half and halfPhysical activities to strengthen your muscles are recommended at least 2 days a week. Want more tips on how you can add a variety of activities to your life? Check this out. Learn more about additional types of physical activity that are right for you. You need to feel comfortable doing moderate-intensity activities before you move on to more vigorous ones. If you have a history of a chronic disease, consider telling your doctor you are planning to increase your physical activity, including moving to more vigorous activity. If you haven’t been very active lately, however, increase your physical activity level slowly. Some people like to do vigorous activity because it gives them about the same health benefits in half the time. A rule of thumb is that 1 minute of vigorous-intensity activity is about the same as 2 minutes of moderate-intensity activity. You can do moderate- or vigorous-intensity aerobic activity, or a mix of the two, each week. Learn more about getting started with physical activity to improve health. If you want to do more vigorous-level activities, slowly replace those that take moderate effort like brisk walking with more vigorous activities like jogging. If you are doing moderate-intensity physical activity, such as walking or hiking, you can talk, but not sing during the activity. Here are some examples of activities that require vigorous effort: If you’re being active at a vigorous level, you won’t be able to say more than a few words without pausing for a breath. You may use the Talk Test to gauge the intensity of your aerobic physical activity. Vigorous-intensity aerobic activity means you’re breathing hard and fast, and your heart rate has gone up quite a bit. Riding a bike on level ground or with few hills.Here are some examples of activities that require moderate effort: One way to tell if it’s a moderate-intensity aerobic activity is that you’ll be able to talk, but not sing the words to your favorite song. Moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity means you’re working hard enough to raise your heart rate and break a sweat. Intensity is how hard your body is working during a physical activity. As long as you’re doing aerobic physical activities at a moderate- or vigorous-intensity, they count toward meeting the aerobic guideline. From pushing a lawn mower, to taking a dance class, to walking or biking to the store – these types of activities and more count. Pick up orders have no service fees, regardless of non-Instacart+ or Instacart+ membership.Aerobic activity or “cardio” gets you breathing harder and your heart beating faster. Instacart+ membership waives this like it would a delivery fee.

Secondly, I think D&D and MTG crossovers work a lot better than many of the other IPs because they have a very similar aesthetic (High fantasy). Thirdly I actually think that a lot of really cool cards and mechanics were printed in these sets (except Prosper, Tome-Bound, they can't all be winners). One mechanic that I really like in concept is the venture/initiative mechanic but I havn't actually done much with the mechanic, I tried Dungeon Descent a couple times but it's WAY too expensive for the effect (just look what they did to it in Alchemy, lol). I also use Immovable Rod in a couple decks, but the venture bit is more of a bonus than a core feature of the card. So I'm going to try to brew a deck around the dungeons. Let's start by looking at all the commanders that interact with the venture/initiative mechanic:Īcererak the Archlich is kinda neat, if very linnear.īarrowin of Clan Undurr has a great ability once you complete a dongeon, but you'll have to use other cards to get there (complete a dungeon isn't that bad of a minigame so maybe) Hama Pashar, Ruin Seeker seems like the obvious "venture into the dungeon over and over again for fun and profit" commander, but the number of venture cards out there are pretty small and she doesn't actually get you venturing so idk. Nadaar, Selfless Paladin I actually kind of like, white doesn't have card draw and Nadaar is card draw in the CZ, he's also cheap and fairly easy to venture with. I'm reluctant to run him simply because he's mono-white, but when I finally decide to try a mono white deck, I might come back to Nadaar. Sefris of the Hidden Ways is pretty cool, to be honest I think took this commander in a really neat direction and I feel like anything I come up with will be lame in comparison XD (leave some good ideas for the rest of us Dirk). Varis, Silverymoon Ranger probably the second least interesting, sure it's reliable but "just cast creatures" I'm not finding particularly compelling at the moment. Zalto, Fire Giant Duke the fact that he only has three toughness when he screams "deal damage to me" is kinda weak sauce. While the false debate continues in mostly right-wing circles that today’s Capitalism is some aberrant form of “true” Capitalism, the end game and final victory of Capital continues to play out with multinational corporations becoming the ‘winner take all’ in their complete takeover of the world’s economies and governments.I feel there surely must be better enrage commanders out there. As discussed before, the TTIP and TPP are the latest maneuvers in this corporate grab for power, wealth, and resources. No illusions of democracy should be maintained in a world of corporate feudalism where gross social inequality will have become irreversible and the will of common people smothered by the abuses of great wealth:Īny last vestiges of environmental protection, worker rights, and sovereignty will be shredded. “ proposes to establish a Regulatory Co-operation Council combining US and EU regulatory agencies with the purpose of working towards deeper ‘regulatory co-operation and increased compatibility for future and existing regulatory measures’. The TTIP and TPP are intended to include investor-state dispute settlement clauses.įor example, health and safety regulations and food standards between the US and the EU will be made ‘compatible’, or more simply put, downgraded or removed. When a corporation considers its expected future profits are being harmed by a government it can lodge a case before these tribunals consisting of three lawyers who represent corporate interests. These lawyers have no conflict of interest restrictions on their operations. There are no limits on the awards that can be claimed against governments and very limited rights of appeal for governments. Even if a government wins a case it must pay the tribunal’s costs and legal fees – averaging $9m a case. UNCTAD reports a tenfold increase in such cases since 2000. Any health or environmental policy that conflicted with corporate interests would be subjected to these extra-judicial tribunals. Tribunals are currently organised under World Bank and United Nations rules. The compensation is taken from the taxpayers. The following are just a few of the cases that corporations have brought to the investor-state dispute settlement tribunals: …” – link A golden age for corporate lawyers beckons! ConDem Coalition government Minister without Portfolio Ken Clarke explained, ‘Investor protection is a standard part of free-trade agreements – it was designed to support businesses investing in countries where the rule of law is unpredictable, to say the least.’ Of the world’s ten biggest law firms, ranked by revenue, four are British and six are US. The PR machine continues to churn out lies even under the glaring reality of today’s obscene wealth disparity. 5/7/2023 0 Comments Squishmallow squish dooCreate an account to follow your favorite communities and start taking part in conversations.

In the modern world, everybody has a home network, and that fact in itself is a defense against online attack. Is the third-party personal firewall dead?īack when having a personal firewall was new and exciting, most of us connected our single household computer to the cable modem, IDSN box, or (shudder!) telephone line that brought us internet connectivity. Most contemporaries of the early ZoneAlarm have fallen by the wayside. But almost all security suites and even a few nominally standalone antivirus tools come with a built-in firewall. Third-party firewalls typically do no more than the built-in when it comes to fending off outside attack they distinguish themselves in areas like program control and exploit defense. Just a few years later, Windows XP appeared with the beginnings of a proper firewall, and firewall protection in Windows has only gotten better since then. But this heyday of the personal firewall didn’t last. Windows 98, then current, didn’t offer them much help. In those days, more than 20 years ago, the company had the unenviable task of educating the populace as to what the heck a firewall is, and why they should want one. Personal computer old-timers may remember the debut of the brash and colorful ZoneAlarm firewall, one of the first programs marketed as a personal firewall for consumers.
