Thanks for the review. I've refactored the code to separate (and centralize) the
breakpad parsing from the part which does presents the information to lldb.
I've done this slightly differently than suggested (the new file is called
BreakpadRecords, as that's how breakpad calls them, and there as separate class
for each record type instead of just a function), but I believe it addresses the
The main reason I created classes for everything is because I thought I'd make
the iterator class return those. I may still do that at some point but now it
did not seem worth it now because it makes it harder to report parsing errors,
and it did not make the call sites much cleaner.

Official State Rodeo of Florida
Florida designated the Silver Spurs Rodeo (in Kissimmee, Osceola County) as the official state rodeo in 1994. Cattle ranches, rodeos, and cowboys played a large role in the area's history and culture. Texas. South Dakota, and Wyoming also recognize rodeo as an official state symbol. All State Sports
Part of the Osceola Heritage Park, the Silver Spurs Rodeo was founded in 1944 by the Silver Spurs Riding Club to promote good horsemanship and good fellowship in Osceola County. Since then the Silver Spurs Rodeo has grown to become the largest rodeo east of the Mississippi and draws tens of thousands of visitors each year.

Choosing a green house - an overview
The first question to think of when choosing a green house is what do I want to grow in it? The answer to this question will help you make decisions on many of questions that you will need to answer when deciding on buying a new green house.
The types of plants and the seasons you want to grow these plants in will effect the amount of space, required light levels, temperature and humidity levels that the green house must be capable of achieving in order to promote healthy plant growth. If you are a keen vegetable gardener then you will want to be able to grow produce in your green house all year round and so will need the maximum light levels possible in the winter. If on the other hand you are simply using the green house for propagation and germination then the maximum light levels may not be so important.
The next thing to assess is the required size and position of the green house. Green house size will be influenced by a number of factors including budget, plant types, number of plants, workspace required and building planning regulations. Many sure that you choose a green house that has the capacity to hold more plants than you currently would want to put in as over time you will find many more uses for your green house than you originally thought possible.
Choosing a site for the green house is vital as it will effect the type and levels of climatic exposure the green house receives. Some plants require at least 6 hours of sunlight a day to develop properly and so the level of light / shade the site will receive is an essential part of siting a green house. Remember that the sun will be lower in the sky in winter and this will most likely effect the amount of shade the site receives. The site also influences how much exposure to wind the green house experiences. Higher exposure can lead to increased heating requirements and thus can affect the long term expense of the green house.
The green house should be situated on a stable site so that the foundations for the green house are solid. Try not to locate the green house in areas where cold, damp air will collect such as in dips or low lying areas of the garden.
What shape do you want your green house to be? Again this will depend on the types of plants you are growing, how you want them arranged, do you require the green house to be connected to your house or a wall to provide insulation and extra heat to the greenhouse.
The shape of the green house can also determine how efficiently a certain site is used. How easy must it be for you to reach all parts of the green house without bending over too much or having to kneel down.
The shape of the green house can also significantly impact on the visual appeal and this can be an important consideration for some, especially for green houses that will be visible from the house or the main seating area in the garden.
The construction materials to be considered when choosing a green house can be split into 3 main areas.
- The green house frame which is normally constructed of either wood or aluminium although plastic is increasingly being used.
- The glazing which is either glass or some form of plastic.
- The flooring / foundations which can be made from gravel / concrete / wood.
Hopefully this article has provided you with the key considerations that you must think about when choosing a green house and also links to more detailed information should you want to look at the selection criteria in more detail.

How to Make Your Own Natural Fabric Dyes
Whether you’re looking to create your own unique craft piece, or rejuvenate spare wool, cotton or linen, there are an array of natural fabric dyes that you can pluck from your own garden to create a stunning assortment of colours.
A garden or hedgerow in Autumn plays host to a riot of colour, and so it’s not surprising to learn that natural dyes can be procured at this time of year too. Berries, plant leaves, flowers, roots and bark can produce some of the richest, most sumptuous of colours that synthetic dyes simply cannot recreate. Whether you’re looking for greens, blues, purples, reds or a range of yellow hues, nature is only too willing to oblige.
Before You Start PickingObviously, if you intend to pick and forage plants or bark from your back garden, you needn’t seek anyone’s permission before you’re set loose. However, if you wish to go further afield and scour a field or hedgerow, it’s best to seek the permission of the landowner first. Check that the plant you’re picking isn’t a protected species, and never pick more than ten percent of the plant, taking care to leave the roots intact.
Before you begin foraging it’s also worth getting up to scratch on which plants are poisonous. It’s a good idea to equip yourself with a pair of sturdy gloves for picking. And because some of the dye fixes (mordants), and natural fabric dyes themselves, can be poisonous, you’ll need to wear protective facemasks and body clothing, as well as using separate utensils and pots to those that you cook with.
Choosing the Right Material to DyeNot every fabric is suitable for natural dyes – quite simply, you can only use natural dyes on natural fabrics. Wool, cotton, linen and silk are all appropriate, providing they’re prepared properly. To do this, make sure that they’ve been cleaned and scoured properly to remove dirt and grease that can cause patchy absorption.
Choosing a Dye FixNatural fabric dyes won’t be as vivid and ‘in-your-face’ as synthetically-produced fabric dyes. But they will produce subtler, richer colours that will be colourfast, providing they’re properly ‘fixed’ to the fabric. Mordants are compounds used to fix natural dyes, and usually contain metals such as iron or alum. To see which fix works best for you, it might be a case of experimentation. However, you must be aware that mordants can be very toxic is misused, so make sure that you do some very thorough research before even contemplating using them.
Try and keep track of measurements by recording them in a dedicated notebook. Keeping swatches and ‘recipes’ will help you to produce an array of results, colours and colour depths. This is especially important when working with a variety of fabrics, as each fabric will absorb the dyes differently.
Sourcing Blue DyesYou’ll find that berries are a great source of natural blue dyes. Elderberries are usually quite abundant, and can be used to produce a prominent violet hue. However, you’ll find that by adding salt to your ‘recipe’, the elderberry’s hue will become more blue.
Another fruit that produces a blue hue are sloes, which can be sometimes be found growing prolifically in woodland and field hedgerows.
Sourcing Red DyesDespite their name, blackberries are a good source of pink and red hues for natural dyes. Red onion skins will also produce a pinkish-red, and surprisingly, yellow onion skins will produce a fairly vivid red colour.
The fresh inner bark of a birch tree is also a source for natural red dye, and can be procured all year round. However, when collecting bark, try to harvest from felled trees or fresh prunings rather than healthy trees.
Other Natural Dye ColoursFor yellow natural dye hues, try bog myrtle (sweet gale) and the yellow flowering tips of the broom plant. The elderberry tree’s bark will also produce a warm grey tone, whilst earth rich in iron will produce a (not surprisingly) earthy red tone. Leaving a metal object to rust in water whilst in contact with cotton may produce some interesting results too!
How to Create Your DyeOnce you’ve (carefully and safely) mastered the art of making your mordant, you can move on to making your natural dyes. Essentially, this is an easy process, but you will need to render each dye on it’s own.
Firstly, you’ll need to take the raw material – such as the berries or plant leaves – and place them in a fairly small saucepan. Remember that you should have your own saucepan dedicated to dyeing, as the plant chemicals and mordants will contaminate any food cooked in them.
Crush the plant materials slightly (you can use your knuckles if you’ve no utensils to help with this task), and then cover with enough water to rise around a quarter of an inch above the materials.
Then all you need to do is to bring the water to a simmer; the plant materials will slowly change the colour of the water and reduce somewhat. You may need to add water whilst you wait for your desired colour intensity.
Remember that making your own natural dyes might not be an exact science, as each collection of natural materials may differ slightly. You might find that each batch is a mini experimentation in itself; however, you can help yourself by recording your findings for a somewhat loose future reference. This is especially important with so many natural sources of colour to choose from!
And above all, remember to stay safe – never mix your natural dye saucepans with those that you use for cooking!

News about Clara Harris! The Toronto Star 2017/05/25 link below:
Don’t miss these upcoming events in May! Two exciting back-to-back events featuring the life and work of local artist Clara Isabella Harris (1887-1975), resident of 23 Valleyview Gardens in the Baby Point community. Detailed information is below. To learn more about the biography of the artist, please visit the Notable Residents page on this website under the History category or visit www.claraharrisart.com (link below).
Event #2: Doors Open weekend 2017 (May 27 and 28) open 10am-4.30pm each day, Lambton House and Montgomery’s Inn
Captured on Canvas
Exploring our past through the work of Clara Harris
Clara Harris (1887-1975) studied at the Ontario College of Art and had connections to many well-known Canadian artists of the early twentieth century. While she is little known today much of her work captures a southern Ontario that has been transformed by domestic and industrial development. Many of her paintings specifically relate to the landscape of York and Etobicoke and provide a unique historical record of the largely rural nature of the area in the early twentieth century. In doing so it offers the opportunity to visually demonstrate the great changes that have taken place since Confederation in the Canadian landscape, and how the arts have helped to tell the story of Canada’s evolution.
This project consists of two exhibitions: the first, Captured on Canvas, to be held at Lambton House and Montgomery’s Inn over the Doors Open weekend will use original works by Clara Harris. At Lambton House paintings by Harris will be joined by other items relating to her including her diary and sketchbook. At the Inn Harris’ works will be displayed alongside contemporary photographs of the same views, which will first be displayed in a second exhibition, Captured on Camera, featuring a series of now and then images, with the modern day photographs taken by students Krystyna Poremba and Georgia Mackay from Etobicoke School of the Arts. These pairings of Harris paintings and contemporary photography will reveal the vastly changed landscape of York and Etobicoke and provoke a conversation of how Canada has been transformed over the last 150 years by urban growth. There will be an accompanying pamphlet showing the locations represented in the paintings and photographs, including brief details about the paintings, the artist and the two venues.
Captured on Canvas, with original works by Clara Harris will be staged over the Doors Open weekend 2017 (May 27 and 28) and open 10am-4.30pm each day. The students’ contemporary photographs of the urban landscape will be displayed at the Inn throughout May, as the exhibition Captured on Camera, coinciding, but not part of the Toronto Contact photography festival.
The Story Behind the Baby Point Heritage Foundation
Founded in early 2010, the Baby Point Heritage Foundation (BPHF) began as a collaboration of neighbours with common interests and a shared goal: to preserve and protect the built heritage of this exceptionally unique neighbourhood. Concerned by interest in demolishing or radically modifying the exterior of homes and streetscape in Baby Point, and catalysed into action by the proposed demolition of a heritage Arts & Crafts home, the group decided to form the BPHF with the view to educate and inform residents and the public of the heritage of the neighbourhood, which is historically, architecturally and archaeologically significant to the history of the City of Toronto, to the province of Ontario, and to Canada.
The Foundation was formally incorporated in August, 2010 as a non-profit, federally-charted organization.
The focus of BPHF efforts involve three core interests:
• to educate and inform residents and the public of the heritage of the neighbourhood, which is historically, architecturally and archaeologically significant to the history of both Ontario and Canada
• through education and awareness programs, help foster local interest in maintaining Baby Point’s historical atmosphere and architectural integrity
• to make application to the City of Toronto for designation of Baby Point as a Heritage Conservation District (HCD) as laid out in a formal submission

Peru —the five-time winner in this category— seeks to become South America's Leading Cultural Destination 2021
at this year's edition of the World Travel Awards.
Peru's vast archaeological heritage, as well as its ancestral traditions and regional customs, captivate tourists and constitute the main reason for international visitors traveling to this country.
Thanks to this enormous multicultural heritage —which is highly appreciated by domestic and foreign tourists— Peru has become South America's Leading Cultural Destination in the 2014, 2015, 2018, 2019 and 2020 editions of the World Travel Awards.
Although regional celebrations —such as religious and traditional festivities held in honor of patron saints— have been suspended in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, cultural tourism is allowed at limited capacity for visits to archaeological sites, museums, locations for performing arts, cultural centers, libraries, and art galleries.
According to the measures adopted by the Government —in force until May 9— cultural places in provinces at extreme risk level are allowed to operate at 30% capacity, while the capacity limit in provinces at very high level is 40%, and 50% in provinces at high risk level.
Additionally, a strict health protocol is enforced to enter archaeological sites, museums and other cultural places, in order to guarantee a safe visit and avoid COVID-19 contagion.
Emblematic archaeological sites
Although the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu
is the most popular archaeological site in Peru —for which it became South America's Leading Tourist Attraction in the past three editions (2018, 2019, and 2020) and has been nominated once again in 2021— there are other iconic archaeological sites that captivate visitors.
Some of these emblematic sites include Kuelap, Chan Chan, Huacas of the Sun and the Moon, Ollantaytambo, Sacsayhuaman, Pisaq, Choquequirao, Caral, Sillustani, and Chavin de Huantar.
World Travel Awards
The World Travel Awards
—considered the Oscars of Tourism— were established in 1993 to acknowledge, reward and celebrate excellence across all key sectors of the travel, tourism, and hospitality industries.

Speaking at a workshop in HCM City yesterday, General Director of Vietnam Customs Nguyễn Dương Thái said the sector would reform administrative procedures, modernise customs, improve the business environment and enhance national competitiveness.
More than 1,360 new projects were licensed with total registered capital of $6.46 billion in January – May, surging 38 per cent against the same period last year, while 505 existing projects were injected an additional $2.63 billion, up 6 per cent year-on-year.
As of mid-May, Viet Nam ran a trade deficit of US$ 1.01 billion, the General Department of Customs reported. In the first half of May, total trade turnover hit US$21.24 billion, including exports of US$9.69 billion and imports of US$11.54 billion.
According to financial and banking expert Nguyen Tri Hieu, increasing the credit risk ratio would push up lending interest rates for luxury home purchase loans, which would harm the liquidity of this segment.
FDI attraction totaled US$ 16.74 billion in the first five months of this year, representing a year-on-year growth of 69.1%, the Ministry of Planning and Investment (MoPI) reported.
Foreign direct investment (FDI) pledges to Vietnam in the first five months of 2019 reached U.S.$16.74 billion, the highest figure in the last four years, according to the Foreign Investment Agency (FIA).
Deputy Prime Minister, Foreign Minister Pham Binh Minh had bilateral meetings with U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Steven Mnuchin, Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross, Acting Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan on Thursday.
The Government has issued Decree 37/2019/ND-CP detailing implementation of some articles of the Law on Planning. The ruling also provides for the construction of a national information system and database on planning.

I purchased my 730n from OEM Auto Parts (mentioned above). Helpful and flexible in purchasing items but still vague in installation. Much I had to figure out on my own. I bought the lockpick from them too as they were the ones who told me that if I wanted the DVD unlocked AND a camera, I would need the lockpick. Just unlocking the DVD they could do eternally for $99. The lockpick is expensive for what it does but it worked as advertised and it allows for multiple camera installations in case I want to put on on the roof or in the engine compartment.


Gone are the days when power wheelchairs were limited to moving in a linear fashion. Thanks to cutting-edge advancements in technology, power wheelchairs now offer enhanced maneuverability, providing users with the freedom to navigate various environments with ease.

Yes. I generally like books by Huruki Murakami.
I was literally stunned. Didn't see it coming. Seemed somewhat strange.
They bring flair to the story. This helped me to visualize the stories.
Yes. As long as they removed the story containing sharpie cakes and crows I would watch it. That story was the only bad thing about this title.
I wish that another of Mr. Murakami's books would become available from audible. It's called South of the Border: West of the Sun. I think that is by far his best work, out of the stories and novels that I have read so far.
The best plan
The Five Love Languages comes to mind, when I think about other books to compare this to. Both are great books. This one just goes into more detail, especially about looks and being interested in what women find interesting. If you take the advice from both books together, and practice it you could have even better results.
His tone of voice and his use of humor was awesome.
Make her feel special.
mind bending philosophy
Mr Honda yelling.
Kumiko, because she sounds interesting.
I hate the character of Mai Kasahara. She's so annoying.
The commentary was masterful and made since. The narrators performance was nearly flawless.
Grand admiral Thran was my favorite character. I like the way that Timothy Zahn portrayed him, and the fact that he had a command throne.
No, I have not listened to their other performances. However, I look forward to hearing some of them.
Star Wars: Episode 7 Heir to the Empire
Will the other two books in the trilogy ever be released in unabridged audio? I sincerely hope so.
somewhere in the middle
It was predictable.
I have not. So, I have nothing to compare it to.
Good performance saved a mediocre story.

The Crown Prince in St. Petersburg
Today His Royal Highness Crown Prince Haakon embarked on a three-day official visit to Russia. Activities will include the promotion of Norwegian industrial initiatives in St. Petersburg and Leningrad oblast.
Crown Prince Haakon is accompanied by State Secretary Dilek Ayhan of the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries, State Secretary Kåre Fostervold of the Ministry of Petroleum and Energy, and State Secretary Bård Glad Pedersen of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Consulate General in St. Petersburg
Upon his arrival, the Crown Prince attended a ceremony to celebrate the new offices of the Consulate General of Norway in St. Petersburg, which were opened at the end of May 2013. The Consulate General has a staff of ten, with five Norwegian and five Russian employees. The ceremony was followed by a short guided tour of the facilities.
Several large Norwegian companies have established operations in the region. Crown Prince Haakon will be visiting two of them: paint manufacturer Jotun and FMC Technologies, the world's leading equipment supplier for subsea oil and gas production.
The Consular District includes St. Petersburg, Leningrad oblast, Novgorod oblast, Pskovs oblast and the Republic of Karelia, all of which were represented at the ceremony. The district extends across 370 000 square kilometres, roughly the same area as Norway, and has a population of approximately 9 million.
Window to the West
St. Petersburg was founded by Peter the Great in 1703 as his "window to the West". With a population of close to 5 million, the city is an important industrial and financial centre as well as home to central Russian research and education institutions.
St. Petersburg is known for its rich history and cultural heritage. The State Hermitage Museum is renowned for its enormous collection, which is housed in more than six buildings, one of which is the Winter Palace.
The King and Queen opened the new MUNCH
"I think that I speak for all of us when I say that we have been looking forward to this day! It is finally possible for us to gather together, and soon the great doors will open up a new attraction – not just for our capital city, but for Norway, and for the world," said His Majesty The King.
Congratulations from His Majesty King Harald to His Excellency Mr Alar Karis, President of the Republic of Estonia.

Areas that receive a lot of traffic usually become compacted. The traffic may be foot, hoof or tire, but results are still the same. Soil particles are packed closer together creating a root zone where there is little air, poor percolation of water and a tough medium for roots to grow in. Roots respond to compacted soil with less growth and development, creating a thin and shallow root system. Stands of turf on compacted soils are generally thin, exhibit stress symptoms more readily and have poor regrowth and recovery from wear.
Soils in gardens and beds can be deeply tilled to break up this compaction. Turf stands are rarely torn up this much, so other means are in order for lawns and sports turf. The most effective form of relief for a compacted lawn is core aeration, this process, a machine with hollow tines pulls soil cores from the turf to soften the soil and allow roots, air and water to penetrate deeper. These holes are generally 3 to 4 inches deep and the diameter of your finger. To keep these holes open for more than a month, a top dressing of about ¼ to ½ inch of sand is often applied and brushed or dragged into the sod and core holes.

Statistics from Altmetric.com
Collagenous colitis (CC) is a clinicopathological syndrome of indeterminate aetiology, characterised by: (1) chronic watery diarrhoea and crampy abdominal pain and (2) thickened subepithelial collagen table and increased intraepithelial lymphocytes on histology.1,2 Gastrointestinal, radiographic, and endoscopic examinations are not diagnostic of CC. Endoscopically, the colorectal mucosa is usually normal, although some non-specific findings such as erythema or oedema have been reported in up to one third of cases.
PATIENTS AND METHODS
The endoscopic reports and medical records of each patient were reviewed, including prior colonoscopic examination reports. Two pathologists (MT, JHY) reviewed the patients' colorectal mucosal biopsies.
Three patients (two females aged 73 and 61 years; one male aged 62 years) were referred for evaluation of watery non-bloody diarrhoea (3–6×day) of 4–6 weeks' duration. All patients had their colonoscopy performed after standard bowel preparation (polyethylene glycol) and sedation (midazolam and meperidine). As the colonoscope was introduced into the bowel by experienced endoscopists (FWJ, FM), mucosal tears with bleeding, ranging from 1–10 mm in width and 5–40 mm in length, were noted following colonic insufflation with air (fig 1⇓). These mucosal tears were found only in the right and transverse colon. The remainder of the colorectal mucosa was macroscopically normal on endoscopy. The histological findings in each case revealed CC with markedly thickened subepithelial collagen tables.
All three patients had hypothyroidism; laboratory results were essentially normal, except for a positive antinuclear antibody (1:160) in one patient. Cultures for stool pathogens and Clostridium difficile toxin assay were negative.
Two patients responded to therapy with either tetracycline (250 mg orally three times daily) or oral mesalamine (Asacol 800 mg three times daily) and had no diarrhoea 12–18 months later. However, one patient (61 year old female) continued to have diarrhoea, 2–4 times a day, after treatment with mesalamine, bismuth subsalicylate, ciprofloxacin, metronidazole, prednisone, and octreotide injections.
We have presented three patients with CC and endoscopic haemorrhagic lacerations on insufflation. Literature review revealed a case report of a patient with CC who showed multiple small haemorrhagic lacerations in the right colon.3 However, no case report has described the large longitudinal colonic mucosal lacerations seen in our cases. To our knowledge, similar haemorrhagic lacerations in the colon have not been described in any other gastrointestinal diseases. Gastrointestinal lacerations have been seen in the oesophageal and gastric mucosa only after cardiopulmonary resuscitation.4 From 1996 to 2000, approximately 100 patients with CC were seen at our institution, and only three cases presented these findings.
A postulated mechanism for the mucosal lacerations in CC might be the rigid character of the collagen containing subepithelium, possibly in combination with endoscopic insufflation, leading to stretching of the mucosa and subsequent tearing. All three patients in our series presented with lacerations on the right colon where collagen deposits have been reported to be thickest.5
Although the most common endoscopic finding in CC is a normal mucosa, macroscopic lesions on endoscopy may be noted during colonic examination. In particular, the endoscopic finding of haemorrhagic lacerations in the right and transverse colon on insufflation should suggest a diagnosis of CC.

10 Tips That Will Help You Succeed In Life And Business
No matter who you are or where you’re from, there are some basic tenets that will help you succeed in life and business.
That’s because success is not about where you come from or what your circumstances are—it’s about mindset, hard work, and determination.
If you want to achieve success in life and business, here are 10 tips that will help you get there
1. Keep your word
If you want to be successful in life and in business, one of the most important things you can do is to keep your word.
When you make a promise, don’t break it. When you say you’re going to do something, do it. If you commit to something, follow through with it.
People will take notice if you’re someone who keeps their word. They’ll trust you more, and they’ll be more likely to do business with you or work with you in the future.
On the other hand, if you’re someone who frequently breaks promises or doesn’t follow through on your commitments, people will catch on to that pretty quickly too – and they won’t want to work with someone they can’t trust.
So if you want to be successful, one of the best things you can do is simply keep your word. It sounds like a small thing, but it can make a big difference in how people perceive and work with you.
2. Get organized
There’s no denying that organization is key to success in life and business. After all, how can you achieve your goals if you don’t have a plan or a system in place to help you stay on track?
Fortunately, getting organized is not as difficult as it may seem. Start by taking some time to declutter and simplify your life. Then, create a system that works for you, whether it’s a physical planner or an online tool like Evernote.
Finally, make sure to set aside time each day or week to review your goals and progress. This will help ensure that you’re always moving closer to your targets. With these tips in mind, you’ll be well on your way to achieving success in all areas of your life.
3. Set goals and achieve them
In order to achieve success in life and business, it is important to set goals. By setting goals, you have something to work towards and strive for. Without goals, it can be difficult to measure your progress and know if you are truly successful.
When setting goals, it is important to make sure they are realistic and achievable. There is no point in setting a goal that is impossible to reach as this will only lead to frustration.
It is also important to ensure that your goals are specific and well-defined. This will make it easier for you to know if you have achieved them or not.
Once you have set your goals, it is important to take action and start working towards them. Procrastination will only lead to failure so it is crucial that you start taking steps towards your goals as soon as possible. The sooner you start, the sooner you can achieve success!
4. Believe in yourself
In order to succeed in life and business, it is essential that you believe in yourself. You need to be confident in your abilities and have faith in your own potential. Without this belief, you will likely find yourself struggling and failing to reach your goals.
There are a few things you can do to help increase your self-belief. Firstly, try to surround yourself with positive people who will support and encourage you.
Secondly, make sure you set realistic goals for yourself – if you aim too high, you may only end up feeling disappointed.
Finally, don’t be afraid to take risks – sometimes the best way to achieve something is by putting yourself out there and giving it your all.
If you can learn to believe in yourself, success will inevitably follow. So don’t give up – keep pushing forwards towards your dreams, and eventually, you’ll make them a reality.
5. Stay positive
It is so important to stay positive in life and in business. When you are positive, you are more likely to attract good things into your life and into your business. Here are some tips that will help you stay positive:
- Wake up each day with a positive attitude. Start your day off right by thinking positive thoughts.
- Smile more often. Smiling is contagious and it will make those around you feel good too.
- Find something to be grateful for each day. When you focus on the positives in your life, there will be less room for negative thoughts.
- Practice affirmative statements about yourself and your business. For example, “I am attracting abundance into my life” or “My business is thriving and growing every day”. Speaking words of positivity will help to manifest them into reality.
- Surround yourself with positive people who support your dreams and goals. These people will help to keep you motivated and encourage you when you need it most.
6. Be persistent
If you want to achieve success in life and business, you need to be persistent. This means setting goals and working towards them even when things are tough. It’s important to stay focused and motivated, and to never give up on your dreams.
Of course, it’s not always easy to be persistent. There will be times when you feel like giving up. But if you push through these difficult moments, you will eventually reach your goals.
Here are a few tips that will help you stay persistent:
Set realistic goals: If your goals are too ambitious, you’re more likely to get discouraged and give up. So make sure to set achievable goals that you can actually reach.
Take small steps: Trying to accomplish too much at once can be overwhelming. Break down your goal into smaller pieces so that it’s more manageable. Then focus on taking one small step at a time until you reach your goal.
Stay positive: Believe in yourself and stay positive throughout the journey. This will help you stay motivated and focused on your goal.
Get rid of distractions: Remove anything from your life that is distracting you from reaching your goal. This could be anything from social media to negative people in your life.
Find a role model: Look for someone who has already achieved what you want to achieve and learn from their example . Use their story as motivation to keep going even when things are tough.
No matter what you want to achieve in life, remember to be persistent. Set realistic goals, take small steps, and stay positive. Most importantly, never give up on your dreams.
7. Be patient
Success is not a sprint, it’s a marathon. It takes time, dedication, and hard work to achieve success. The most successful people are patient. They understand that success is a long-term game and they are in it for the long haul.
They don’t give up when things get tough. They understand that setbacks are part of the journey and they use them as motivation to keep going.
They also know that success is not a straight line. There will be ups and downs, but as long as they stay focused and keep working hard, they will eventually reach their goals.
If you want to be successful in life or business, you need to be patient. Don’t expect overnight results. Be willing to put in the hard work and dedicate yourself to your goals. With time and effort, you will eventually achieve success.
8. Be a lifelong learner
In order to succeed in life and business, it is important to be a lifelong learner. This means that you should never stop learning and expanding your knowledge base. There are many ways to do this, such as taking courses, reading books, or attending seminars.
By being a lifelong learner, you will always be ahead of the curve and will have the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in whatever field you choose.
Additionally, lifelong learning can help you keep up with the ever-changing landscape of the business world.
9. Take risks
In order to succeed in life and business, you need to be willing to take risks. This doesn’t mean that you should impulsively jump into every new opportunity that comes your way, but you shouldn’t be afraid to seize opportunities when they arise.
Taking risks can lead to great rewards, both personally and professionally. It can help you grow and learn new things, and it can also help you achieve success. So don’t be afraid to take a few risks along the way – it just might pay off in the end.
10. Give back
Most successful people are generous with their time, money, and resources. They believe in giving back to the community and making a difference in the world. Here are some tips on how you can give back and make a difference:
- Volunteer your time. There are many organizations that need volunteers. Find one that you’re passionate about and give your time to them.
- Donate money to charities. There are many worthy causes out there that need financial support. Find one or two that you care about and donate regularly.
- Give back to your community. There are many ways to do this, such as volunteering for local organizations, helping out at local schools, or even just being a good neighbor.
- Mentor someone. You can make a big difference in someone’s life by taking the time to mentor them. This could be through formal programs like Big Brothers Big Sisters, or informally through simply being a friend and sounding board for someone going through tough times.
- Help out those in need. There are always people who are going through tough times, whether it’s due to illness, job loss, or other difficulties.
See what you can do to help them get back on their feet, whether it’s providing financial assistance, emotional support, or practical help like transportation.
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer to success, but there are some key things that you can do to set yourself up for success in life and business.
We hope that our tips have helped you figure out what you need to do to achieve your goals. Remember, it takes hard work and dedication, but if you stay focused and committed, you can achieve anything you set your mind to.

Krista Drobac, partner at Sirona Strategies breaks down the specifics of the recent bill, and explains why the bill was passed by the House and Senate.
“The budget bill raised spending limits, and they needed an offset; which means they needed a way to pay for it. What they did, was they implemented a site neutral payment for hospitals and doctors. The way that this saves money for Medicare, is in the past, patients with similar clinical profiles would be sent to different locations. The payment in these locations would be different, but they could be in the same service.
For example, a surgical procedure can take place either in an inpatient or an outpatient facility. You can get rehab in a skilled nursing facility, or you can get in patient rehab. Another example is chemotherapy, you can get that in a physician office or you can get that in a hospital outpatient facility,” Drobac says.

Recent United Nations' studies state that over 2 billion people will suffer severe water shortages by 2050.
In the next 10 years, all of the countries predicted to be "water scarce" are in Africa in the sub-Sahara region. This problem will be exacerbated by the expected doubling of this area's population in the next 40 years.
Increased regional conflicts over water supplies are also predicted in this time frame.
The sub-Saharan countries have no access to sustainable water sources.
The United Nations estimate that by 2025, two-thirds of arable land in Africa will disappear.
As the rate of climate change progresses, the poorer countries will experience further shortages of water, shorter growing seasons (and less food), and more outbreaks of 'vector' borne diseases.
THE PROPOSED TAP SOLUTION
Construct desalination plants on each coast.
Construct a network of pipelines originating from each coastal plant to transport this water to storage tank farms strategically located along the routes to serve about 20 million people.
Basic human water requirement for drinking, cooking and hygiene is about 30 liters/day per person.
Sufficient water production from these plants will provide irrigation for crops.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
Spread the word. Talk about this enormous undertaking with everyone you can - you never know who might know someone who can help in an important way.
Lend your voice of support. Right now this isn't involving the Canadian government but we still want them to be aware and perhaps play a role, so please write or call your MP and encourage her/him to let the Prime Minister know this is a project you believe in.
Volunteer - contact us to make arrangements. Volunteer opporunities may not be plentiful for a project such as this but that doesn't mean they won't exist at all - get in touch and let's discuss how you can help.
Help us financially. So far the progress made on this project has been due to volunteer efforts and personal investment by various members of the TAP Team - now that we have brought it to a point where even more dedication will be involved we need to have funds for operating expenses - no contribution is too small (or too big!)

TCC faculty submit petition to request union election
Seventy percent of faculty have signed cards asking for union vote
Faculty at Tallahassee Community College, still stung by a proposal last month that would have affected their teaching load, are now seeking to unionize.
About 70 percent of faculty signed cards indicating their interest in calling for a union vote, with about 50 percent of them agreeing to join the union if the union proposal passed.
The petition was filed with the Florida Public Employees Relations Commission asking for a vote at the beginning of the fall semester. The commission now must verify each of the signatures and then inform the college of the election request.
TCC Faculty Senate President Frank Baglione said there are about 50 members of the United Faculty of Florida among the faculty, and 40 more have pledged to join if the election is successful.
If faculty approve the union vote, it would allow the chapter of the United Faculty of Florida to engage in collective bargaining with the administration. A non-bargaining chapter was established at TCC in 1995.
A majority of faculty voted against an attempt to include collective bargaining in 2009.
Jen Robinson, a professor of art history and president of TCC’s UFF chapter, said unionization would ensure that faculty have input in decisions affecting their workplace.
"The needs of the faculty at TCC have changed and now is the time to embrace collective bargaining and secure our voice at the table," Robinson said. “We want the best institution for our students, and that can only happen if we eschew the advisory-only position we now occupy under the current shared governance system. We deserve to have a recognized voice in decisions that alter the students’ learning environment, potentially for the worst. Our move to unionize is about making TCC the best it can be."
TCC spokesman Al Moran said the college was caught off-guard by news of the union interests, and had not received any notification from Faculty Senate leadership.
“Of course, the faculty have a right to move in that direction,” Moran said. "They have every right to form a union and the college will honor it.”
The United Faculty of Florida represents 11 state university faculties and 14 state college and graduate assistant chapters, according to the Florida Education Association. Elections are planned this fall at Florida Polytechnic University and at State College of Florida, Manatee-Sarasota. FSU and FAMU each have chapters that engage in collective bargaining.
A rift was created between TCC faculty and administrators last month when Provost Feleccia Moore-Davis had deans introduce to faculty a proposal that would have ended the decades-old practice of TCC professors being allowed to teach four classes per semester rather than the state required five. TCC has gotten around that mandate by letting some professors out of teaching a fifth class and reassigning them to other duties, also allowed by the state law.
Moore-Davis has said that practice has become unfair, with some professors using that extra time for activities that have not been monitored. She also said that some professors are not allowed to take advantage of the loophole in the law because of their teaching demands.
TCC's Faculty Senate blasted the idea and the initial suggestion that changes be implemented as early as this fall. Chief among their concerns was they were not given a chance to provide input.
And, faculty argued, the additional three hours of teaching would eliminate the time they spend mentoring students or providing additional guidance to graduate assistants, on top of the time needed to serve on committees and carry out other assigned responsibilities.
The pushback forced TCC President Jim Murdaugh to call an emergency meeting with faculty where he called off the plan. Instead, Murdaugh and Moore-Davis agreed to allow time for the proposal to be vetted by faculty and others, and to have a task force created to examine the issue.
TCC trustees at their meeting later this month are expected to hear from Murdaugh and Moore-Davis on material related to what reassignment time consists of, how it is granted to professors, the impact it has on teaching and specific examples.
The board also indicated its support for creating the task force that would review the data and report back to the board in June.
But faculty still aren’t satisfied, saying the material trustees will review will come from administrators.
Baglione said having 70 percent of faculty signed cards asking for an election is indicative of the interest.
“We haven’t had raises in six years,” he said. “That’s what got the faculty saying, ‘maybe we need to form a union.’ The provost made the decision without any faculty input.”

Martin Campbell, the Principal of North Cambridge Academy, has publicly identified a number of the school’s pupils as: “potentially children who will end up in permanent exclusion”.
Mr Campbell made his comments at a public meeting of Cambridge City Council’s North Area Committee on the 9th of June 2016 in front of the area’s city and county councillors in a hall full of members of the public. A number of police officers and many council staff were present.
The pupils were identified by their first names and images of them were shown. The meeting had, as part of its agenda, a presentation of a publicly funded film made by young people. Presumably the intent was to show councillors how funds they had allocated had been spent and to show local residents and businesses how their taxes had been used.
As soon as I heard Mr Campbell’s comments I thought they were inappropriate. I don’t think schools should be publicly naming students in connection with their concerns about permanent exclusion.
Mr Campbell may have been embarrassed as his pupils who had benefited from the public funded project had not turned up despite having been invited to the event, and taxis (presumably funded by public money) having been sent to collect them.
I have previously expressed concern about a similar occurrence where pupils who had left mainstream education were identified in profiles on the website of the “Red Balloon Learner Centre”, in relation to that I have previously written:
I was concerned that by publicising case studies about identifiable children the decision of if to publicise the fact they attended the centre was not being left for individuals themselves to make when they reached an age, and ability, to make that choice for themselves.
Beth McCabe of Cambridge Community Arts was one of those in the public seating watching the film; she appeared agitated and uncomfortable following the principal’s comments and tried to speak to me, but couldn’t due to the meeting being in progress.
Mr Campbell approached me as I left the meeting and, having realised he’d said something he shouldn’t, expressed concern about the reporting of his comments overshadowing the positive aspects of the film.
I let Mr Campbell know who I am (I think he took a note) and invited him to put any concerns he had about reporting on the meeting to me in writing. At the time of writing, Saturday afternoon after a Thursday evening meeting, I’ve not received anything. I will provide updates in the comments if I do. I suggested Mr Campbell let the chair know of any concerns, so they could be relayed to all present. I checked with the meeting chair, Mike Todd-Jones and he told me no such representation was made.
Deciding what, if anything, to publish from the meeting has been a difficult decision. Not reporting anything would be the best way to ensure the privacy of the pupils involved, but many people can’t attend North Area Committee meetings and value the publication of videos, tweets and articles. Reporting on Mr Campbell’s remarks is one way he can perhaps be persuaded to be more careful about what he says about specific identified pupils in public in the future.
As far as I can see the film isn’t currently published online anywhere (if it was then my publication of Mr Campbell’s remarks, and linking them to it, would enable the identification of the pupils). I have decided to publish my footage of the meeting with the names and images of the pupils removed, this footage is embedded into this article. My redactions have unfortunately also removed images of some of the expensive looking video equipment being used, including what looked like a rather fancy camera stabilizer mount.
Some people, including other pupils in the school, may already know the identity of those pupils involved in the film. My publication of the video, and this article, may enable more of these people to link Mr Campbell’s remarks to the individuals. Overall I think the benefit in reporting the newsworthy occurrence, outweighs any negative impact. The person who looks worst here is Martin Campbell, the Principal of North Cambridge Academy, not his pupils, and the public need to hold him to account for his actions and nudge him in the right direction when he gets things wrong.
Rewarding Poor Behaviour?
The escapade also raises the question of rewards for poor behaviour. Why is it those at risk of exclusion get the benefit of the public money, the chance to work with artists and video producers and get an invite from councillors to the area committee? I’ve written before about: “Rewards for Anti-Social Behaviour in Cambridge“.
What do those pupils who work hard, get themselves where they need to be on time, and generally behave think about councillors funding opportunities for those who risk exclusion?
Perhaps the school could have run a call for ideas, with the winners being given the opportunity to work with the film-makers? Those at risk of exclusion have, as the film shows, staff working with them, who could have given them extra help with their submission. If there were say three or five opportunities to make a film then maybe one could have been reserved for those at risk of exclusion, with the principal explaining the justification perhaps on the basis of greatest likely impact.
Grant Funding of the Film
It’s not obvious which grant funded the film but it may be a part of a grant of £15,000 to North Cambridge Academy public art with Kettle’s Yard (Kettle’s Yard is part of Cambridge University) approved by Executive Councillor Carina O’Reilly in October 2015, the project included an aim to:
create and develop opportunities for students and the wider community to access and celebrate culture within their locality
Public Access to North Cambridge Academy Facilities
I used the opportunity to ask questions of the principal to ask about public access to facilities at the academy given so many have been publicly funded, some with conditions attached requiring public access.
Facilities include tennis courts, a cycling track, a sunken trampoline & foam pit. The public access should be advertised by both the council who awarded the grants and the school.
The principal gave an assurance that there would be better advertisement of the publicly accessible facilities once the redevelopment of the front of the school has been carried out.

Taking on the responsibility of caring for aging parents or in-laws is a significant decision that requires careful consideration and planning. While the idea of having your loved ones close by can be appealing, there are numerous factors to take into account before making such a move. Here are some key considerations to keep in mind when contemplating moving aging parents into your home.
1. Take Your Time and Lay a Roadmap
Rushing into a decision like this can lead to unnecessary stress and complications down the line. It’s crucial to take the time to thoroughly discuss and plan with all parties involved, including your spouse, children, and siblings if applicable.
Having open and honest conversations about expectations, concerns, and potential challenges can help set the stage for a smoother transition.
2. Financial Expectations
One of the most critical aspects to address upfront is how finances will be managed once your aging parents move in. Will they contribute financially to household expenses, such as utilities or rent? Determining a fair and transparent financial plan can help alleviate misunderstandings and conflicts later on.
Aside from discussing household expenses, it’s essential to consider long-term financial planning for your aging parents. This may involve assessing their current financial situation, including any retirement savings or pensions, and determining how their resources will be allocated to cover expenses related to healthcare, medications, and other essential needs.
3. Establish House Rules
Setting clear house rules from the outset can help prevent misunderstandings and conflicts in the future. Topics to consider include quiet times, meal arrangements, handling house guests, and redecorating preferences. While it may seem unnecessary at first, having these guidelines in place can promote harmony and mutual respect within the household.
In addition to the practical aspects of house rules, it’s important to consider the emotional and personal boundaries within the household. Discussing topics such as privacy, personal space, and communication preferences can help ensure that everyone feels respected and valued in their own home. For example, establishing designated quiet spaces or scheduling regular family meetings to check in and address any concerns can foster a sense of belonging and inclusion for all family members.
4. Prepare Family Members
If you have children or other family members living in the home, it’s essential to prepare them for the changes that come with having aging parents move in. Discussing the situation openly and positively can help alleviate any anxieties or uncertainties they may have and foster a sense of unity and support within the family.
5. Have a Backup Plan
Despite the best intentions, there may come a time when living arrangements need to be reassessed. Having a backup plan in place from the beginning can provide peace of mind and make any necessary transitions smoother. This could involve exploring alternative care options, such as employing home health care services or enrolling your parents in a day program if needed.
6. Give Yourself Space and Grace to Adjust
Adjusting to having aging parents live with you can be emotionally and practically challenging for everyone involved. It’s essential to be patient with yourself, your family members, and your parents as you navigate this new dynamic. Remember that it’s okay to seek support from friends, family, or professional caregivers if needed.
7. Limit Other Stressful Life Changes
Moving aging parents into your home is a significant life change in itself, so it’s wise to avoid adding additional stressors during the adjustment period. If possible, try to limit other significant life changes, such as career transitions or major renovations, to minimize disruptions and focus on supporting your loved ones during this time.
The Pros and Cons
The decision to move aging parents into your home is not one to be taken lightly, as it comes with its own set of pros and cons. On the positive side, having your parents close by can lead to stronger family bonds and provide opportunities for meaningful connections that may not have been possible otherwise. Sharing daily life experiences, celebrating milestones, and simply spending quality time together can create cherished memories and deepen the emotional ties between family members.
Furthermore, caring for aging parents in your own home can offer a sense of fulfillment and purpose. Being able to provide hands-on care and support to your loved ones during their golden years can be immensely rewarding, knowing that you are making a positive difference in their lives.
However, it’s essential to acknowledge that moving aging parents into your home can also present significant challenges and stressors. Caregivers may find themselves facing unexpected caregiving tasks, such as assisting with personal care, managing medical needs, or navigating complex healthcare systems. Balancing caregiving responsibilities with other commitments, such as work, family, and personal life, can be overwhelming and lead to feelings of burnout and exhaustion.
Moreover, conflicts and tensions within the family may arise as a result of differing opinions or expectations regarding caregiving roles and responsibilities. Sibling rivalries, cultural differences, and past resentments can further complicate matters and strain relationships. It’s essential to approach these challenges with empathy, patience, and open communication, seeking support from family members, friends, or professional caregivers when needed.
Moving aging parents into your home is a decision that should not be taken lightly. By considering the factors mentioned above and taking the time to plan and prepare, you can help ensure a smoother transition and create a supportive and loving environment for your loved ones in their golden years. Remember to prioritize self-care and seek support when needed, as caring for aging parents is a journey that requires patience, compassion, and resilience.
