The Flinch
Highlight (yellow) - Location 63
The flinch is the moment when every doubt you’ve ever had comes back and hits you, hard. It’s when your whole body feels tense. It’s an instinct that tells you to run. It’s a moment of tension that happens in the body and the brain, and it stops everything cold.
Highlight (yellow) - Location 70
Whatever form it takes, the flinch is there to support the status quo. It whispers in your ear so you’ll dismiss a good idea that requires a lot of change.
Highlight (yellow) - Location 83
Facing the flinch is hard internal labor that comes with no up-front promise of reward. But one day, your world will change, maybe drastically, and it will do so without warning. On that day, you won’t be prepared—unless you’ve fought the flinch before.
Highlight (yellow) - Location 86
Finding the flinch reveals a secret passage, hiding in plain sight. It’s why some people know how to sell, and others can’t—because they see the flinch in others. It’s why you can’t quit your job or be the person you want to be—you can’t see the flinch in yourself. The flinch is why you don’t do the work that matters, and why you won’t make the hard decisions.
Highlight (yellow) - Location 141
They use trial and error—the basic way you learned to walk, jump, and ride a bike. The process of trial and error is inherent to life. It’s simple, and it works if what you want is to understand your environment. This curiosity is why kids touch burners. They want to know how things work. They’re interested, and they’re not spoiled by the flinch. They just do it. They test their environment, and stop when it hurts. The scars they get are medals they’ve won, not deformities they need to hide.
Highlight (yellow) - Location 151
Here’s the thing: the lessons you learn best are those you get burned by. Without the scar, there’s no evidence or strong memory. The event didn’t actually happen or imprint itself on your brain—you just trusted those who know better. Adults know what’s safe, so you listen. Over a lifetime, those who listen too much build a habit of trust and conformity. Unfortunately, as time goes on, that habit becomes unbreakable. This is dangerous.

You can’t settle for reaching other people’s limits. You have to reach yours.
Highlight (yellow) - Location 185
The anxiety of the flinch is almost always worse than the pain itself. You’ve forgotten that. You need to learn it again. You need more scars. You need to live.
Highlight (yellow) - Location 210
You imagine that you weren’t meant for this. You think you’re not strong enough. In a sense, you’re right.  You’re quitting out of fear of the flinch. What you’re missing is that the path itself changes you. You’re weak because you haven’t stepped on the path. When you do, a process will begin. As you climb the mountain, you’ll get stronger. Your plastic brain will be shaped by the path. You might think this path isn’t for you, but it is—you’ll just change along the way. The path itself will toughen you up for the end. Right now, you just need to start. ileo start
Highlight (yellow) - Location 227
You need to build a habit of seeing the flinch and going forward, not rationalizing your fear and stepping away. Start doing the opposite of your habits. It builds up your tolerance to the flinch and its power.
Highlight (yellow) - Location 241
Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “Do not go where the path may lead; go instead where thdivead wheere is no path and leave a trail.”
Highlight (yellow) - Location 242
Consider this: in your corridor, every flinch is a door you can open with a new scar and lesson behind it, the same way a kid learns by touching the burner.
Highlight (yellow) - Location 245
Open doors mean expanded options. The flinch will block you, but once the door is open, the threat vanishes. A new path appears. Opening new doors means confronting a possibility of getting lost. Lost feels like failure, something that might leave a scar or be embarrassing. So the flinch starts its work, and pushes you back into the familiar to distract you.
Highlight (yellow) - Location 263
Behind every moment of courage was a man or woman who faced a difficult internal struggle. When they face it, it becomes an amazing story. They become legends. But if they turn away from the flinch, their stories are unexceptional. They’re like everyone else. They vanish.
Highlight (yellow) - Location 286
So how do you know when the fear means something, and when it’s just pointless? How do you know when the flinch is protecting you? There’s a process for it. Here it is:
Highlight (yellow) - Location 288
First, find a safe place to decide from. If you feel threatened by the man next to you on the subway, move away first. From this vantage point, a better decision can safely emerge. So your relationships, health, debt, everything—make sure none of them feel dangerous, because they are easy reasons to flinch. The less these situations provoke you, the more you can focus. Then, once you’re ready, listen to yourself. When you’re facing the flinch, you use words like “stupid,” “safe,” “pointless,” or anything else that is soft, judgmental, and blurry. The flinch thrives on making risks look worse than they are. So look for those words, act anyway, and judge from hindsight instead. You’ll know you’ve opened the right door when you feel a strong, irresistible impulse to do something else, anything else. This usually means that you’re right at the threshold of something important, and you need to pay attention and keep going—nowa
Highlight (yellow) - Location 298
When you feel the flinch, you can shut it up by talking out loud. Ask a clear, strong question: “What are you afraid of?” Say it whenever you’re avoiding the flinch; then force yourself to answer. Or just call it out: “Flinching.” Verbalize your excuse. It’s often ridiculous, paranoid, or obsessive-compulsive. You sound like a drowning sailor when, in fact, you aren’t even near the water. Calm down and move forward.
Highlight (yellow) - Location 329
All of life is like this. You’re only as strong as your weakest moments. Learn to reinforce those weak spots before they cut you down.

“You can take a piece of wood that you brought back from your garden, and each day present it with a flower. At the end of a month you will adore it, and the idea of not giving it an offering will be a sin.” In other words, everything that you are used to, once done long enough, starts to seem natural, even though it might not be.
Highlight (blue) - Location 338
The flinch doesn’t want you to change. Its agenda is to keep you in status quo. It believes your identity is what’s kept you alive and stable, and that settling is better than dead. But it’s a trap, because almost none of the risks modern man takes are fatal at all. Every time you give in, you actually make the wrong path easier to follow. But every time you go the right way, you get stronger.
Highlight (blue) - Location 374
The training isn’t about fighting at all, but something more important: pattern-breaking. The first step is to stop seeing everything as a threat. You caThireat. Yn’t will this to happen—it requires wider exposure. If you’ve been punched in the face, you won’t worry as much about a mugger, for example. If you face the flinch in meditation, you don’t worry about a long line at the bank. Build your base of confidence by having a vaster set of experiences to call upon, and you’ll realize you can handle more than you used to. Doing the uncomfortable is key. It widens your circle of comfort.

An acrobat isn’t born walking on his hands. The process for learning is slow, and only later does it become effortless. Flinching forward, like walking on your hands, is a test of your environment. Learning to balance means falling, and when the acrobat does it, he sees what’s dangerous and what isn’t—after the fact. As he gets better, he starts to understand the method. If his environment pushes back by making him fall, he begins to understand his limits.
Highlight (blue) - Location 401
Most people look at walking on their hands and think: “I can’t do that,” but they’re wrong. You can use this same process to get anywhere you want to go. Those who learned did it by flinching forward—through the initial reactionourl react8212;once, and then again and again, until it became second nature. You can do this with anything.

Flinch forward in nature, at home, in your workplace, anywhere. Try whatever you like or find interesting. Climb trees, eat new food, or learn to dance. All are provocations to the status quo that you use as stepping stones to larger explorations.

Facing the flinch, and being willing to get the scars that come with it, is the only thing that divides your present from your future.  Their determination is like an aura; it can be felt just by being near them. Those who are unwilling to face the flinch are obvious, too. Their eyes are dead. Their voices sound defeated. They have defensive body language. They’re all talk. They see obstacles as assailants instead of adversaries. Their flinch is the elephant in the room, and they don’t want to hear about it.
Highlight (yellow) - Location 433
Most people don’t actually want to face the flinch; they just want to be in a movie about it. They want the glory, not the suffering. They don’t want scars because they like being soft. They don’t want to be humiliated; they want respect—they just don’t want to earn it. They want the keys handed to them. But it doesn’t work that way. If you choose the ring, you’re already better than most. Why? Because you chose to fight. You’re a contender, and almost no one can say that about themselves.
Highlight (yellow) - Location 453
If you aren’t willing to sacrifice your comfort, you don’t have what it takes. Set fire to your old self. It’s not needed here. It’s too busy shopping, gossiping about others, and watching days go by and asking why you haven’t gotten as far as you’d like. This old self will die and be forgotten by all but family, and replaced by someone who makes a difference. Your new self is not like that. Your new self is the Great Chicago Fire—overwhelming, overpowering, and destroying everything that isn’t necessary.

THE FLINCH, A CHECKLIST


Yoga is the most favourable method to connect to the nature by balancing the mind-body connection. It is a type of exercise which performed through the balanced body and need to get control over diet, breathing, and physical postures.
Many individuals who exercise or are new to the fitness world feel strength training is only associated with more experienced athletes. This couldn't be further from the truth.
The sport rising from illegal venues and outlawed prize fighting has become one of the largest multibillion-dollar sports today. A majority of young talent still comes from poverty-stricken areas around the world.
Running can significantly improve physical and mental health. As a form of aerobic exercise, running can reduce stress, improve heart health, and even help alleviate symptoms of depression.

Newt Gingrich: For Gary Sinise, Veterans Day comes every day – Actor has helped veterans for over 40 years
by Newt GingrichAs we all pause on Monday to honor the brave men and women who spend their lives protecting our freedom and security at home and abroad, I wanted to take time to also honor a man who has spent much of his life helping them.
Gary Sinise, who many of you may know for his portrayal of Vietnam veteran Lieutenant Dan in Oscar-winning film "Forrest Gump," has devoted more than 40 years to supporting and advocating for America’s veterans. Having veterans in his own family, he grew up aware of the unique challenges that they face when they return from serving the country.
However, after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, Gary was moved to devote a far greater deal of his time helping our service members and first responders who keep us safe every day. As he put it, his earlier efforts were seeds planted along the way, which had grown into a much stronger, more meaningful desire to serve.
MICHAEL FERRITER: WANT TO HELP OUR MILITARY VETERANS? HERE'S HOW
Gary generously joined me on this week’s episode of "Newt’s World," and we had an extraordinary conversation about all the ways in which we as Americans can help the courageous people who sacrifice their time, gifts, service, and sometimes lives to defend our country.
I was deeply impressed with, and frankly inspired by, the sheer depth and breadth of activities and advocacy efforts in which Gary is engaged. The Gary Sinise Foundation leads programs to help modify and remodel the homes of veterans who were disabled during their service, supports veterans who are suffering from physical or psychological trauma, educates both veterans and nonveterans in overcoming challenges from war, and a host of other important efforts.

I also spoke with Gary about his book, "Grateful American: A Journey from Self to Service," which tells the story of how he came to realize how critically important our veterans were – and why he needed to focus more of his time and energy making sure they got the support, honor, and respect they deserve.

Having grown up in a military home (my father was a career infantryman in the U.S. Army), my conversation with Gary was profoundly interesting and deeply moving.
I hope you will listen to this week’s episode of "Newt's World" – and think about how you can honor the veterans in your life this Veterans Day.

Nova uses ata-over-ethernet (AoE) to export storage volumes from multiple storage nodes. These AoE exports are attached (using libvirt) directly to running instances.
Nova volumes are exported over the primary system VLAN (usually VLAN 1), and not over individual VLANs.
AoE exports are numbered according to a “shelf and blade” syntax. In order to avoid collisions, we currently perform an AoE-discover of existing exports, and then grab the next unused number. (This obviously has race condition problems, and should be replaced by allocating a shelf-id to each storage node.)

[gecode-users] 2-stage optimisation
benoitlaurent at neuf.fr

Thu Nov 13 14:34:37 CET 2008
Hello,
I would like to realize a 2-stage optimisation. More precisely, a first phase using a branch-and-bound algorithm provides me with an upper bound that is used to constrain the second phase.
My question is the following: do I have to declare two spaces and two engines to achieve this or is there a better way of doing ?
Thanks in advance.

CUT THE RENT!
How do we solve the housing disaster faced by millions of people across Europe?
In the past few months we may have found an answer :
In London we are wittnessing the cusp of a housing revolution; by organising a rent strike, students at University College London have forced their landlords to cut the rent and make students’ homes less extortionate. There is now a clear vision to scale-up this action to solve the exploitative rents that are sucking the life out of communities across the UK and Europe.
This is a movement that is changing the balance of power in housing politics. With your help it could be accomplished.
There are many ways that anybody and any organisation or network can support this, from pledges to promote and share future actions to donating funds. Right now we are gathering commitments of support from others who agree with this project for lower rent and want to see our campaign help turn the tide of the “housing crisis” into a crisis for the landlords.
Direct democracy and housing for the people
Most significantly, the rent strike this year, which was recognised as a game-changer by both activists and columnists in national newspapers, cost only a few thousand pounds to organise.
Now, there is real prospect for democratic change at the grassroots level of British society; we have won once, and now we are determined to win again – London, and Europe,
desperately needs a housing movement that can go on the offensive for decent, affordable homes.
This year, our campaign started out with a handful of volunteers and ended with hundreds of students on strike supported by a skilled network of organisers.
A year ago the movement for housing in the UK was staggering, now we have seen that victories are possible and student campaigns inspired by our strike are being established at campuses across the country.
We intend to carry on the campaign, to keep the landlords and the government on the back-foot, and this time we can coordinate with allied campaigns all over the UK.
This could herald a surge for truly powerful political action based on the principles of solidarity, direct democracy and housing for the people by the people.
What do we need?
With as little as £5,000 we can run the campaign for another year with even more momentum and involving thousands of people; we will be able to lay unshakable foundations for fresh victories and affordable homes.
Imagine how easily this could be replicated en masse on a local bases around the UK and beyond!
£5,000 will cover all the basic campaign expenses needed to organise one campus, from printing flyers to throwing community assemblies.
Anything raised above this mark will be able to cover solidarity funds for travelling to other campuses and cities to share the skills and inspiration to replicate our success.
Together we can win! Thank you!
How we will spend the money
Mobilising, organising and acting!
The majority of the resources needed for this sort of campaign goes into printing promotional materials to help spread the message of the campaign and information of its tactics to students and supporters.
Therefore slightly more than half of the funds raised will help pay for printing to help communicate the campaign's ideas and actions.
At the same time, to mobilise we need to cover our expenses in transport, facilitating meetings and materials for demonstrations and actions.
With expenses covered on these posts, we will
be able to focus almost entirely on mobilising, organising, coordinating actions and taking down the landlords.
Below you can see an overview over our expenses. Whether the costs will be high or low, depends on this campaign. We can do little with a little and a lot with a lot:
- Printing of promotional materials
- Transportation
- Facilitating meetings and social events
- Materials for demonstrations and actions

Research
Glaðsheimr research is based around a vision:
Orchestrating and integrating ML, devices and engineering principles to provide complete stack applications as opposed to full stack
Cybernetics and Mobile Health
An Complete Stack Application
Defining cybernetics as a merger between hardware, software and biology we can imagine health (behavior change) apps today as such a device.
sequenceDiagram Alice->>App: Sets goal App->>Alice: recommends caloric tracking program Alice->>Alice's Biology: Implements program Alice's Biology->>Alice: Homeostatic and Physiological Resistance Alice's Biology->>Alice's Devices: Automated Tracking Alice's Devices->>App: Tracking integrated App->>Alice: Updated recommendations
Inefficient Integrations
In this case Alice, her biology, software on the app and wearable devices are integrated into an overall goal; Making Alice Healthy. This type of complete stack application are requires extra steps to provide a lack luster solution (mobile health apps are notoriously bad at achieving results and health is hard). Data used to determine successes of the application is derivative and the end results of numerous processes.
There are a plethora of moving parts and engineering wise this solution is not idea. In integration we want to have a simple critical path that allows:
- Measurable feedback independent of human bias (people lie about their weight regularly)
- Reduce unnecessary interfacing components
- Remove artificial boundaries in development
- Biology is not understood at app development level
- Algorithms are unaware of how to determine a success/failure
- Alice has to understand how to implement the program
Back to the Drawing Board
Focusing on the goal “Making Alice Healthy” we can start to re-engineer a concrete solution. For the purpose of this exercise let’s determine health based on most common diseases for Alice’s cohort (54F, High BMI, Hyperglycimia). Although Health could be defined medically, we also have to consider how Alice determines healthy and thus focusing on quality of life makes more sense. Alice’s overall lifestyles plays a larger part in determining what Health means.
Let’s say that top causes of loss of quality of life for Alice’s cohort are metabolic syndrome1 (which wouldn’t be too unreasonable). Digesting these diseases into biological signals would provided the most efficient interface to measuring success of our complete stack application.
Measuring with Biological Signals
- Waist Circumference
- Triglycerides
- HDL Cholesterol
- Blood Pressure
- Fasting Glucose
Using these signals gives a clearer picture of “health”, and treating these as outputs from “Alice’s Biology” is a good starting point. The most frequent signal used is Waist Circumference which should be simple to collected in the morning when Alice wakes up. Waist circumference can be measured in the bathroom and to meet privacy concerns with a disconnected smart device (this device would not connect to any server).
The waist circumference measurements (with measurement errors) would then be collected to a device that is able to aggregate with other signals (either from external sources or locally). In the case of Alice, let’s imagine the solution to have:
- Waister: Waist Circumference - FPGAs + Camera in washroom
- GoodFood: Food Quality - FPGAs + Cameras in Kitchen
- TooManyCooks: Cooking Frequency - Presence detection TinyML Device
- AliceHealth: Labeling and Data Update - Mobile App
Each of these services can be put into a local cloud or more apt endpoint cloud.

In this scenario locality of computation, modelling and data is kept to where Alice is and where her health matters. Developing such an application requires a few underlying components:
- Signal Aggregator - Arudino BLE
- Training Device - Raspberry Pi or Coral Device
These components need to part of the orchestration fabric. The major advantages to this step is the fewest number of integrations back to a central server that is out of control/hand for Alice. Additionally, in this complete stack the focus is completely relevant to specific biological signals that don’t require integration with other partners. Finally, Alice has complete control of her data and models that are used to help her. Everything is owned by her.
