Modern parenting is so stressful that the U.S issued a health advisory. Parents say it's overdue
Studies have linked comparing your own parenting to what you see on social networking sites with higher rates of maternal depression, higher cortisol levels and increased envy and anxiety in mothers specifically.But it's hard not to compare, said Meenakshi Sharma-Vadnais, 35, of Ottawa.
Sharma-Vadnais, a mom of three, says this generation of parents is overloaded by online information. She jokes that as an influencer and parenting blogger, she's part of the problem.

With more than one item, the context managers are processed as if multiplewithstatements were nested:with A() as a, B() as b: SUITEis semantically equivalent to:
with A() as a: with B() as b: SUITEYou can also write multi-item context managers in multiple lines if the items are surrounded by parentheses. For example:
with ( A() as a, B() as b, ): SUITE

In project management, a death march is a project which participants believe to be destined for failure, or that requires a stretch of unsustainable overwork. The project "marches to its death" as its members are forced by their superiors to continue the project, against their better judgment. The term originated in the field of software development, and has since spread to other fields.Death marches are usually a result of unrealistic or overly optimistic expectations in scheduling or feature scope, and often result from a lack of appropriate documentation, relevant training, or outside expertise needed to complete the project. Death marches can also be triggered by misunderstandings between parties, unresolved assumptions, mismatched expectations, and sometimes external change. Management may desperately attempt to right the course of the project by asking team members to work especially grueling hours (14-hour days or 7-day weeks) or by attempting to "throw (enough) bodies at the problem", often causing burnout.
The discomfort is heightened by project participants' knowledge that the failure is avoidable. It may have succeeded with competent management, such as by devoting the obviously required resources, including bringing all relevant expertise, technology, or applied science to the task, rather than just whatever incomplete knowledge a few employees happened to possess. Business culture pressures may play a role in addition to mere incompetence.
The term "death march" is discussed at length in Edward Yourdon's book Death March. Yourdon's definition: "Quite simply, a death march project is one whose 'project parameters' exceed the norm by at least 50 percent."

"Elephant Super Car Wash Sign"
Stopped by the Elephant Super Car Wash to see a construction crew tearing it down. Right before I left, the remaining structure collapsed.

Jalapeno poppers don't appeal to me purely because they typically use cream cheese, which I get the gag reflex from unless it's something like a thin layer in a bagel or in frosting. (I don't particularly like cream cheese frosting, but it doesn't give me the gag reflex.)
That said, poppers made with mozzarella do sound good. :3
