"I have already officiated in international matches across formats as well as in ICC events, so am aware of the enormous responsibility that this position entails. I've always wanted to officiate regularly alongside the best match officials. In addition, I want to thank my family, especially my wife Carmen, without whom I would not have been able to continue in a profession I love so much.” Ahsan Raza: "I feel extremely honoured and proud to be included in the Elite panel. ![]() I appreciate all my colleagues, the ICC and Cricket South Africa for their support over the years. “I'm excited about the upcoming opportunities and look forward to giving my all in the new position.

I would also like to thank my family without whose support I could not have gone on for so long. “I thank the ICC, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and my colleagues on the panel for their support over the years. My message to umpires the world over is to work hard, maintain discipline and never stop learning. “Though I am still keen to continue as an international umpire, I felt it was now the right time, after 19 years on the road, to step away from the Elite panel and provide an opportunity to someone from the International Panel. I have had the pleasure and honour of umpiring the world over and what I have achieved is something I did not even dream of when I started in the profession," said Aleem in an ICC statement.

Hedonic treadmil6/2/2023 ![]() A primary ambition was to illuminate how the human quest for meaning contributes both to individual flourishing and group selection. To investigate the psychological mechanisms behind this correlation, we conducted in-depth interviews of Nordic and Slavonic helpers of Ukrainian refugees in Norway (n = 32). Our preliminary quantitative study confirmed the correlation between some markers of prosociality and well-being at a national level. ![]() The Nordic countries, which score highest on quality of life, facilitate multilevel well-being, that is, individual prosperity and altruistic opportunity. Our model brings attention to these dynamics. Since increased within-group competition often reduces societal well-being, public policy should aim at cooperative means for good living. While people derive happiness from cooperation and competition, meaning originates from prosocial (cooperative/altruistic) behavior. We approach meaning as a reward individuals experience when contributing to their community. We define happiness as the cluster of affects that reward individuals for solving adaptively relevant problems. Conceptualizing life quality as "Happiness + Meaning = Well-being" offers insights into how the human well-being system helps people navigate between individual and group needs. We posit that people's subjective assessment of their own quality of life is the sum their happiness, which is related to individual selection, and their sense of having a meaningful life, which is related to group selection. This article proposes an evolutionary model for well-being informed by multilevel selection. These revisions offer hope for psychologists and policy-makers who aim to decrease human misery and increase happiness. Finally, individuals differ in their adaptation to events, with some individuals changing their set point and others not changing in reaction to some external event. Fourth, and perhaps most important, well-being set points can change under some conditions. Third, a single person may have multiple happiness set points: Different components of well-being such as pleasant emotions, unpleasant emotions, and life satisfaction can move in different directions. Second, people have different set points, which are partly dependent on their temperaments. First, individuals' set points are not hedonically neutral. The recent empirical work outlined here indicates that 5 important revisions to the treadmill model are needed. The theory, which has gained widespread acceptance in recent years, implies that individual and societal efforts to increase happiness are doomed to failure. The next day, you could pay attention to how good your body feels after exercise, and the following day, enjoy a spot of daydreaming while you sip your morning cuppa.According to the hedonic treadmill model, good and bad events temporarily affect happiness, but people quickly adapt back to hedonic neutrality. The more we do this, the greater our chances of avoiding the adaptation response that keeps us stuck on the treadmill.įor example, you could decide to focus on the tastes and textures of your dinner tonight, and then tomorrow, focus on savouring time time connecting with a loved one. So a key to the mindfulness strategy is maintaining our awareness of the wide variety of pleasurable, fun, and exciting things that happen in our lives. We free ourselves from the hedonic treadmill by becoming aware of what we might be over-relying on, recognising things that are available to us that we haven’t been making the most of, and choosing where we place our focus.Ĭhoosing to focus intently on something that is pleasurable, fun, or exciting can help us extract maximum enjoyment from it – but if we always reach for that thing, no matter how much we focus on it, it will start to bring us less pleasure.

Depersonalization help6/2/2023 ![]() When you experience depersonalization, it can be jarring and interfere with your everyday life. You may feel like an “observer” of your own life. When you experience depersonalization, you may feel as if you are disconnected from your body or thoughts. Since depersonalization is often linked to trauma, implementing yoga practices alongside trauma treatment can “help reduce intrusive memories and emotional arousal and to produce calmer, steadier breathing.” Yoga can also help treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, yoga can help you find that connection again. Yin yoga: A slow style of yoga where postures are held for extended periodsĪccording to the article “Yoga for Better Mental Health” by Harvard Health Publishing, “Yoga strengthens parts of the brain that play a key role in memory, attention, awareness, thought, and language.” Depersonalization causes you to become disconnected from your body and thoughts.Kundalini yoga: A spiritually focused yoga that uses specific postures and breathing exercises to release the energy trapped in the body. ![]()

Pocky and rocky 2 projared6/2/2023 ![]() (Apparently YouTube requires you to be 18+ to watch this. Here's a perfect real life example of a scalper in action. You more than half of the time won't see any profit from that sale and you will probably end up owning that object for a very long time or you can get bullied. Never sell things that you own for way more than they're worth. In turn, they can make the true value of the game skyrocket. Pocky and Rocky was an almost non-existent title among gamers during the SNES days, though Natsume saw fit to produce a sequel to what is arguably the biggest sleeper hit of the 16-bit days. They'll literally buy a game that's worth 50 dollars then put it up for sale for 100. The sequel to the game you never knew existed. The reason why some of these games are ODDLY overpriced is because of a few sick bastards who scalp the games. These games are considered rare and hard to come by. The main reason why games become overpriced is because some of them had a limited amount of them produced during their initial release. ![]() (I would post it here, but YouTube is acting up and AA only allows 25 attachments per blog).

Future nostalgia6/1/2023 The album ends in empowering fashion with Good in Bed offering up frank and candid talk of sexual exploits against a sunny disposition that’s impossible not to like. Love Again’s sampling of Your Woman by White Town once again brings in that nostalgia-tinged twinkle with lyrics of heartbreak and personal growth. Hallucinate finds its strength in sonic soundscapes and is probably one of the more forward-thinking tracks, using up-to-date production techniques against a glittery, vibrant edge. Levitating feels as shiny and sleek as a robot dancing to Saturday Night Fever and the pleasure of hearing the singer’s English accent coming through in the speaking parts shows the confidence she has in her own talent. ![]() Physical is where things get really interesting, once again heavily 80s influenced and perhaps borrowing from Bonnie Tyler’s Holding Out for A Hero, but with a message of female strength instead of waiting to be rescued.Īs the record continues, Dua Lipa manages to build in more influences as the sound grows bolder, but still with that essence of disco at its heart. It’s the artist in her complete element, drawing on the infectiousness of the beats to allow the vocals to dissect and digest the melodies and rhythms. Lead single Don’t Start Now doesn’t need any introduction, already being a global hit with its infectious bassline and tailored breakdowns making it a huge dance floor filler for the masses. Fun and empowerment is the name of the game here, and Dua Lipa’s vocals drip with sass and confidence as she sings: “I know you ain’t used to a female alpha”. ![]() ![]() Starting with album-titled track Future Nostalgia, we’re immediately hit with Dua Lipa’s two states of mind as 80s throwback pop is set against modern electronic production and synthy sounds. It’s good news too because Futuristic Nostalgia is the kind of uplifting, empowering and forward-thinking music we all need in the world right now, with Dua Lipa’s streamlined disco sensibilities playing a major part in her old but new sound. She explained in tears on an Instagram Live cast that in this current climate “we need to work together to make a change” and felt it was the right decision to take instead of delaying the record in light of amoxil 500mg the recent pandemic.

The HMA web proxy is a trusted website unblocker. And, though web proxies are usually free, they don’t provide the same privacy and security protections as a VPN or Tor.
