"Being nice and being kind aren't the same thing.

And often look like opposites."

Nice: Sure, I'll pray along with you, if it would make you feel better. Kind: No, thank you. I don't believe in your god, so I'll just wait until you're done.

Nice: Sure, sweetie, you can have that tattoo for your fifteenth birthday because you want it. Kind: No, a tattoo is inappropriate. When you're older you can make those decisions for yourself. Yes, I know you hate me, but my job is to be your parent, not your friend.

Nice: Sure, I'll call you xhglir/xhglem because you say that's what you feel like this week. Kind: No, I don't think it's healthy to reinforce in a girl the delusion that she's not a girl simply because she likes quadbikes and basketball and hates long hair. You're not defined by stereotypes about what you like, but you are what you are. Hopefully you'll see that one day. Until then, fine, be mad at me.

Nice: Sure, I'll stop posting uncomplimentary things about your religion because seeing them bothers you. Kind: No, your rules about your religion apply to you, not me. Your beliefs aren't immune to criticism or scrutiny just because they're "dearly held" by you. You should probably get used to the fact people are going to talk about them in ways you don't like and don't get to control, because there's a lot of people out there. Getting upset all the time is only going to give them ways to get under your skin.

--

Niceness frequently looks like pandering and lying, because it's easier in the short term.

Kindness often looks like healthy boundaries and telling the truth, because it's better in the long run.

What does neglect look like when it's not obvious? Because I didn't grow up in a hazardous environment, but my trauma points at serious neglect (enough to enrage my therapist). Well... in short, it's a lack of support and/or an invalidation of support.

"I support you," is a phrase that gets weaponized in unhealthy relationships. Words people use to appease or soothe or control a situation. Parents who defined support as, "I gave you life and I pay for you to live here". People in authority defining support as, "I'm paid to put up with you". Or friends defining support as, "I laugh and cry in your presence". None of which are very supportive, and all of which were fairly the norm in my life. I accepted this ^^^ as being the support I deserved while witnessing others receiving real encouragement, acceptance, and upliftment.

And before anyone gets started: I was a child; a child doesn't innately know how to ask for things (it's taught, not innate behavior), nor should a child have to beg to be loved.

So neglect can look like a lack of encouragement. Neglect can look like justifying bare-minimum "service" or obligation as support (eg "I could turn you out, but I keep you here out of the kindness of my heart"). Neglect can look like failing to teach your child/student/ward how to ask for help or express what they need (and then failing to give them what they ask for OR failing to explain why it can't be given). Neglect can look like refusing to reinforce - expressing a kind of support once, and then losing patience the next time instead of remembering habits take time and repetition to develop.

Supporting someone doesn't need the words "I support you". Support can look like genuine interest in someone's well-being. Support can look like assistance or picking up slack. Support can look like a silent present when the world hurts/sucks. Support can look like keeping someone on task for success (eg "Did you take your meds", "Have you eaten", "Are you prepped for the test", "What's the thing you needed to do by next week", etc). Support can look like clear, detailed instructions, especially for the neurodivergent. Support can look like reinforcing someone's pronouns or vouching for their identity or their hyperfixations. Support can look like going up to the painting made by the one person in the room that seems to have no friends, and finding something genuinely uplifting about it to say to the artist. Support can look like offering to come to the house of a parent with a newborn to do chores, prep food, and let parent take a nap and a shower (not to see the baby and bounce). Support can look like holding a person's boundaries in the face of someone they bend to. Support can look like paying attention. Support can look like equity vs fairness.

Imagine a LACK of all of the above. Imagine someone who might have never faced hostility or a hazardous environment, but also never received any form of acknowledgment, validation or encouragement. Imagine someone who has received this support, but not in a particular circumstance, or that it was backhanded or came with expected reciprocation. And now you have a picture of just how common and widespread neglect really is.

Be aware that it takes a lot of energy for a neglected person to encourage themselves forward. If you see it (or even if you don't see it), offer the pick-me-up that's in your spoon drawer to offer. SHOW your support, don't TELL them you support them. And let others know when you need it, too, by being exact about explaining what you need.

Inaccurate information, severe biases and logical fallacies often reinforce misleading narratives.

"Going Dark: The Secret Social Lives of Extremists" - Julia Ebner

[pupinprogressdogtraining]

I think it's really important to remember that many of the behaviors that we see as "problematic" are perfectly natural behaviors for dogs, and that many of the things that we ask them to do such as walking in a straight line beside us are unnatural and hard asks for them! This is why it's so important to take the time to teach dogs what we are asking for with compassion, and remember that while these tasks may seem simple to us, they are a lot for them! In addition to this, when training a new behavior to replace natural behaviors, that we give them other ways to fulfill that need or better yet, come to a compromise that works for both.

For example when teaching a loose leash walk, I want the dog to keep the leash loose, and I don't want them stepping right in front of my feet (for safety), but I'm happy to have them sniff plenty, walk ahead of me, and cross sides safely. I tailor my criteria to teach this so that I can walk comfortably, their joints are kept safe, and they still get to do all of those doggy things!

The reinforcement steel bars or rebars have been used in the construction process which helps to increase the strength of the tensile as well as helps to complement the comprehensive properties of the concrete. The structural integrity of the concrete structure has also been maintained by the reinforcement steel bars. The tensile strength of the reinforced steel bars and the bond strength of the tensile rebar concrete are the most important properties of the reinforcement steel bars.

The reinforcement steel bars have come into various types which are Thermo Mechanically Treated (TMT) bars and High Yield Strength Deformed (HYSD) bars. Each type of reinforcement steel bars has its own set of properties as well as each of the steel bars has the ability to bear the tensile forces which helps to make those rebars more likely to break.

Different types of tests to ensure the quality of the reinforcing steel bars

It is important to test the quality of the materials of the reinforcement steel bars. The conduction of the testing process is required for recognising the various specific uses of the reinforced steel bars. The attributes and the behaviours of the substances including plastics materials, metals, and ceramics have been examined under various conditions. The inspection and the testing process of the reinforcement steel bars are also necessary to decide the adequacy of the reinforced steel bars. Different types of tests for reinforcement steel bars include:

We may suppose that in the history of the particular listener… the [spoken word] fox has been an occasion upon which looking around has been followed by seeing a fox. We may also suppose that the listener has some current “interest in seeing foxes” — that behavior which depends upon a seen fox for its execution is strong, and that the stimulus supplied by a fox is therefore reinforcing. The heard stimulus fox is the occasion upon which turning and looking about is frequently followed by the reinforcement of seeing a fox.

Technically, the behavior of turning and looking is a discriminated operant, rather than a conditioned reflex. The difference is important. The verbal stimulus fox is not a substitute for a fox but an occasion upon which certain responses have been, and probably will be, reinforced by seeing a fox. The behavior which is controlled by the fox itself — looking toward or riding after — cannot be evoked by the verbal stimulus, and there is therefore no possibility of a substitution of stimuli as an analog of a sign or symbol.

Splicing column reinforcement is a critical aspect of reinforced concrete construction. It ensures continuity, structural integrity, and adherence to safety standards, particularly in compliance with Indian Standards (IS codes).

Understanding Column Reinforcement Splicing

Column reinforcement splicing involves overlapping or connecting two reinforcing bars to transfer loads effectively while maintaining the structural integrity of the column. It is particularly necessary when the length of the reinforcement bar is insufficient to cover the entire span of the column. Indian Standard IS 456:2000 and related codes provide the technical requirements for splicing.

Types of Splicing in Column Reinforcement

1. Lap Splicing

Lap splicing is the most common technique where two bars are overlapped over a specified length to ensure load transfer. This method is cost-effective and easy to execute.

Key considerations for lap splicing:

Minimum lap length should be 60 times the diameter of the bar (Ld) for tension members, as per IS 456:2000.

The lap should be staggered to prevent congestion and ensure smooth concrete flow.

Bars of differing diameters should not be lapped directly without proper design checks.

2. Welded Splicing

Welding involves joining bars through electrical or gas welding. It is commonly used for high-strength applications where lap splicing is impractical.

Important guidelines for welded splicing:

Use only qualified welders for reinforcement welding.

Test welds to ensure compliance with IS 2751:1979.

Avoid welding on site unless absolutely necessary.

3. Mechanical Couplers

Spiral bars are also known as helical bars which have higher resistance strength against lateral forces. These spiral bars are designed to play reliable and permanent crack-sewing repairs to the masonry. These spiral bars have been put on the cracks and help to extend the strength of the masonry walls.

Spiral bars are also renowned as transverse reinforcement. These types of bars are generally utilized in the reinforcing circular column. In the case of beams, this type of spiral reinforcement is known are stirrups. In the case of a rectangular column, spiral bars are known as ties, yet, in a circular column, it is known as spiral reinforcement.

Uses of spiral bars

Maintaining structural integrity

In the case of the deep foundations, the structural integrity of the caissons and piles has been improved by the spiral bars.

Repairing cracks

These types of spiral or helical bars are also used for anti-crack reinforcement around the windows and doors of the buildings.

Improving concrete columns

The load-bearing capacity of the construction units has been improved by the reinforcement of the spiral bars. This improved the load-bearing capacity of the spiral bars is resistance to the concrete column’s buckling.

Construction of bridges

These spiral bars are used for the spiral bend rebars. These are used in the form of required shapes for the construction of large-scale civil projects or the construction of bridges.
