{"text": "Background that happened, he bought a second-hand 2015 MacBook Pro based on my recommendation, over getting a new MacBook Air: better screen, better processor, nicer design. I was annoyed, however, as I had tried to buy that laptop but was rejected as I have no credit rating. He bought my computer!\nAs a consolation prize, I gave him my PlayStation 4, the games for which I hate as they all require expensive monthly subscription payments and went back to PS3. He gave me his old 2011 MBP in exchange. I still think I got the better deal.\nIt needed a very good clean inside and out, the battery had expanded and was pressing up against the trackpad, so no clicks there. It had a small SSD and the optical drive, and only 4GB of RAM. The USB and Thunderbolt ports were also randomly functioning.\nI upgraded it to 1.5TB dual storage, upgraded the Bluetooth to 4.0, replaced the speakers and the battery of course, and gave it a jolly good clean. It now runs like a dream! Having the MBP next to the 2015 iPad Pro provided me with the best of both worlds!\nApple’s AX SoC’s are a stunning feat of engineering, and the screen and sound system are second to none. The iPadOS is obviously leading MacOS in terms of design and user interactions, and iOS is the benchmark for all operating systems currently in use.\nHowever, there are a couple of caveats: the grey zone between ‘tablet’ and ‘laptop’ is not so clear as before, and the laptop-style usage scenarios being implemented with iPadOS are a shambles. This has greatly annoyed me as, for me, iPad is the best in computing platforms.\nSteve Jobs very clearly positioned the iPad as better at both an iPhone an a Mac at those specific usage scenarios aimed at portability, but as the iPad has been enlarged and empowered to easily out-class Intel CPU-driven laptops, they are not any more portable than a MacBook. At the same time, MacBooks have become as light and thin as an iPad with a keyboard case.\nAt The Moment\nLast Saturday week, a different friend bought a new MacBook Pro, and gave me his 2012 MacBook Air. It was also a little dilapidated, but with a thorough clean inside and out, a new battery and new supporting foam for the trackpad, and a reinstall brought it up to scratch. It’s now as good as new.\nAnd so this is where I had a very good chance to experience the differences in these three machines: 2011 MacBook Pro, 2012 MacBook Air, and 2015 iPad Pro with Zagg Bluetooth Keyboard.\n- The iPad has the most beautiful screen. Every Retina Macintosh has the same clarity, so if you are thinking of buying a laptop, I strongly recommend anything with Retina.\n- The iPad has the most wonderful sound system – quad sound emerging from behind the screen is immersive. There is no dissonance between vision and sound at all, to the point where it is mesmerising. I dearly hope Apple implements this with Macintoshes.\n- The iPad has a better mobile format, but the 12.9 is too enormously huge to be portable. It therefore lost its advantage as being better than a Mac at some things, and an iPhone at others. For me, the iPad mini is the best mobile computing device in history, with the 9.7 – 10.5 the best for when one needs to do a LOT of mobile typing.\n- The iPad has the worst keyboard. Zagg has been the best of the lot, but even so, it malfunctions from time to time, and although has minimal lag, it really needs to be instant. Apple’s Magic Keyboard had no more or less malfunctions than a cheap Bluetooth keyboard, shockingly, and soured my esteem of Apple.\n- The Macs have the best trackpad interaction. Many use a mouse, but I hate them – they are only one step above having to lift one’s entire arm to touch the screen. Trackpads ensure best ergonomic interactions with the device. The advantage of smaller iPads is that they do not require as much arm-lifting. Also, the trackpad-esque function as implemented by Apple for iPadOS is just plain awful. NO: iPad is NOT a laptop replacement in this fundamental regard.\nLight and Airy Quality\nBut let us now focus on the Air! despite only being one year apart, the 2012 Air represents a significant and noticeable improvement over the 2011 Pro:\n- The Air has a much better keyboard with slightly less yet firmer key travel\n- The Air has much better backlighting – the Pro’s backlights are too bright and the individual LEDs glare from beneath the keys in irregular patterns. It certainly makes the Pro look shabby. The Air’s are muted and smooth, but there oughtn’t be any under-key leakage at all.\n- The Air has better graphics – Intel HD 4000, rather than the Pro’s 3000. Not much difference, but enough to render the Air upgradeable to Catalina. Sadly, my effort to do so resulted in a machine not functioning so well to the point of being unusable.\n- The Air can now be upgraded to 1TB SSD m.2 for not so much money, whereas the Pro can be upgraded to 4TB SSD SATA for the same amount with a dual-harddrive bay for the same, but the Air is MUCH thinner and more portable.\n- The Air is not as portable as it may seem. I took it on a trial excursion to work – almost 2hrs one way – carrying it for a 30min walk. Hard and sharp edges bite into flesh and cut blood flow. The larger iPads have the same issues. All these 13” devices need a carry bag.\n- The Air is not as quiet as the iPads, naturally, but when the fan does spin up, it is noticeable quieter than the Pro. The asymmetrical fan is one of Apple’s least noted innovations.\n- The Air has the best design of the three, being so thin. With the Zagg keyboard, the iPad becomes thicker and heavier than the Pro, and looks tacky and cheap. The Air is what I’d rather be seen carrying about, as it has the classic style and is the most useable.\nMoving On and Forward\nI have given my huge iPad to the same friend who gave me the Air. He is now exploring the new functions of Catalina and SideCar, and seems to be having a ball. I am using the Air and Pro side-by-side, with the 2016 iPad Pro as my mobile computing device when significant typing is involved, and iMax (iPhone 11 Pro Max – not typing THAT out every time!) when not.\nBut now that I have these devices, I must reminisce…\nI first was offered the Air in 2013, yet hated the operating system and the total lack of upgradeability. At that time, I was building my own Windows 7 systems and exploring Ubuntu: the Air represented a total end to my then-current hobby.\nAfter buying a 2011 Mac mini in 2015, and upgrading it with 16GB RAM and dual-harddrives to 2.5TB, Apple also began planting OSX with iOS sensibilities. I began to – finally – like OSX. Over the years, OSX has become MacOS, a much more useable and beautiful operating system, and much more like my beloved iPads.\nYet this journey has revealed to me that my desktop computing, served by MacBook Air and Pro, is trackpad-based. My reason for giving my iPad away was the absolutely awful keyboard and trackpad experience.\nI’m convinced through this that iPad must be mobile-first, and that as it becomes a ‘real’ computer, that realness will only be determined by the ability of iPadOS to simulate – to exactitude – the usability of any Macintosh. Mac laptops are eminently mobile, and require a carry bag for that, but Macs function so much better once the mobile ends.\nFor my money, if I had to sell all my computing devices and only choose one, I would choose the smallest, thinnest MacBook with a retina display and make do. I don’t play games or have professional graphics needs so I don’t require a lot of processing power. I need something that is fast, quiet and light, with a great keyboard for typing in the dark.\nLet’s break this down!\nThe iMax is too large for one-handed use, so I go with the smaller iPhones; iPad is best as a mobile computing device, so I go with my favourite for that – the iPad mini BUT the 5 still does not have quad speakers. Grrrr! So the smaller, older iPad Pros are better. For the desktop and carry-bag mobile computing, smaller and lighter with Retina is better, but I also recommend any model which has the asymmetrical exhaust fans.\nMy main beef with the iPad Pro with add-on keyboard and trackpad and mouse is that they are added on: they are not integrated and do not work well. To a lesser extent, I have the same issue with Mac mini, and to a small extent, the MacBooks: not integrated means not reliable, not instant, and not always functional. Waiting for the trackpad to wake up on iPad was infuriating. The useless and incessant keystroke errors of Bluetooth keyboards = NO. The tinny, nasty sounds emitted by MacBook Air and Pro are awful – yet easily solved with cheap USB speakers and Boom 2 software.\nSo my conclusions are as follows:\n- Integrated beats assembled\n- Bluetooth is still awful\n- Upgradeability is advantageous\n- Silence is golden – except where the speakers are concerned, then quads mounted behind the screen are best!\n- An old MacBook is much better than a new iPad for typing\n- An iPad is the only option for touchscreen\n- I am very annoyed that iPad is so awful with basic user interactions\n- I am very confident Apple will improve this within the next few years.\nHappy computing!"}

Of which, you are! I am grateful that you posted this as it has made me think about my own list of things I am thankful for in life.\nIt was lovely to write sometimes life an make us greedy, we need to stop every once in a while and be grateful.\nLovely – just like you. Stopping to take time and think about what we are grateful for is a lovely thing to do. I’m off to have a think now too x\nThat was a lovely post. I can relate very much to the PND you suffered, all the behaviours you describe were also mine in the way I acted towards my husband and I just couldnt see that I was depressed. It great that you are doing something you really love. Also and lastly, like you, having a child was never on my list either, but wouldn’t swap Little A for the world now.\nAhhhh that’s so lovely to read xxxxx\nLovely post! So powerful as well! I think i am still at the stage of depression and paranoia though :((("}

Yet these very same people will send eighteen year old citizens to die or worse yet get mutilated, leave them without healthcare when they return and never ever admit the glaring dichotomy in their flawed thinking.\nOne thing not mentioned is the costs associated with transporting and guarding these people brought to medical facilities. You can go to University Hospital any day of the week and see inmates constantly being brought in and/or leaving the hospital from the traffic circle and being escorted by at least two guards who must stay with the inmate the entire time they are there. Thats two more guards that are probably paid OT because they arent going to short staff whatever prison they came from.?\nit should be unconstitutional for prisoners to get better health care than the working taxpayer. More importantly senior prisoners should not be getting care that millions of hard working tax paying retirees can't afford. Politicians and judges need to realize that the vast majority of working taxpayers don't have generous juicy retirement plans or affordable health care.\nIf we can't afford it, those inside the grey bar hotel should NOT have access to it.\nI do like the LA plan where younger inmates care for the older ones, that should become the gold standard for caring for senior inmates.\nSanctity of life isn't it grand?"}

{"text": "Firm’s vendor to pay £15,000 for over-selling profit prospects\nThe Court of Appeal has awarded £15,000 damages to the buyer of a law firm who was sold the business under a false representation.\nPotential buyer Sameer Karim had been told during negotiations that Leicester firm Douglas Wemyss Solicitors was ‘on course’ for a turnover of £640,000 during the year 2008 and net income of £120,000.\nAdvertisement\nBut the court heard that the seller, Douglas Wemyss, did not believe the figures to be true. A more accurate turnover figure for turnover was £547,000 or even less, the court heard, with profits of £92,000.\nA previous trial before His Honour Justice Cooke had already found that liability against Wemyss had been established both for misrepresentation and breach of warranty. But despite this loss, the judge declined to award Karim any damages because he held that no recoverable loss had been demonstrated.\nIn Karim & Anor v Wemyss, Lord Justice Lewison (pictured) said that in principle Karim was entitled to be put into the position in which he would have been if the business had the turnover and profit claimed.\n‘It seems to me self-evident that a person who buys a business with a warranted profit-earning capacity of £120,000 suffers a substantial loss if the business in fact has a profit-earning capacity of only £92,000,’ said Lewison.\nThe judge said the reference to the LLP being ‘on course’ to hit turnover and profit indicated – even though it was made three months before the sale – was a ‘continuing representation’ that it remained on that course up until completion, and was an ‘actionable misrepresentation giving rise to a liability in tort’.\nLewison said that Karim had agreed a price of £100,000, of which £68,140 was goodwill, against the warranted profit of £120,000. Applying this to the eventual £28,000 shortfall produced a difference in value of £15,909, rounded down to £15,000.\nLewison also overturned an earlier court ruling that Wemyss was owed a greater sum than the £100,000 agreed as the work in progress had realised greater amounts than envisaged. Karim had accepted liability for £29,075 but disputed a further claim of almost £17,000. The earlier court ruling awarded Wemyss £12,783 of this disputed balance.\nThe judge said Wemyss, as the original claimant, was required to establish the claim and justify the change of agreed terms file by file. Lewison said this was not achieved and it was unrealistic to expect to prove a negative (prove there was no justification for altering WIP figures).\nThe amount awarded to Wemyss on the claim was reduced by the full £12,783.\nHave your say\nYou must sign in to make a comment\nReaders' comments (2)\nDavid Crawford29 January 2016 12:43 pm\nWith v. O'Flanagan [ 1936] All E R springs immediately to mind.\nBut who in his right mind would purchase a law firm these days? I would not even accept one as a gift. It's a poisoned chalice. I know of one having been hawked around unable to find a purchaser. Mr. Kahn will live to regret this decision. Come to think of it it sounds as if he already does. Why not just set up on your own and wait for the opposition to retire and pick up the clients you want, instead of buying a whole load of these you don't, plus, possibly, a bunch of negligence claims?\nUnsuitable or offensive?

{"text": "Postcards from Russia: Why don't players tuck in their shirts?\nEditor's note: This is the latest of Sam Borden's Postcards from Russia, in which he shares his observations, fears, joys and travel stories from the 2018 World Cup.\nMOSCOW - The World Cup brings together players from 32 countries around the world, from cultures spreading across a broad spectrum and from backgrounds covering rich to poor and everything in between. There are different approaches to nutrition and training techniques, tactics and motivation, preparation and postgame analysis.\nAnd yet, despite the existence of this incredible diaspora of soccer, there is one thing that just about every player in Russia agrees on: untucking their shirt.\nNow, some fans may not have noticed that this quadrennial festival of football has morphed into a casual chic nirvana, but the universality of the untuck is staggering. Lionel Messi untucks. Cristiano Ronaldo untucks. Harry Kane untucks. Antoine Griezmann, the star of the national team from that (alleged) fashion mecca of France, untucks.\nAnd lest you think this is a trend limited to either the filthy rich (like silk pocket squares) or the devoutly hipster (like wearing a recreational monocle), let it be known that even Farouk Ben Mustapha, the backup goalkeeper for Tunisia, untucks.\nSam Borden's Postcards from Russia\n- Searching for Putin's hidden railway\n- World Cup mascot Zabivaka's hooligan link\n- Searching for American fans at the World Cup\n- What U.S. sport could learn from international football\n- In search of World Cup fever on the streets of Russia\n- 'The sea is digging a new nipple': Misadventures in Cyrillic\n- The pukh menace around Moscow\n\"Most of the time, you look out there and it seems like the only one looking proper with their shirt tucked in is the referee,\" said Howard Webb, who is, if you couldn't guess, a former international referee.\nWebb, an Englishman who worked the 2010 World Cup final, said he could not pinpoint an exact tipping point (tucking point?) for when the overwhelming on-field style shifted away from something resembling a high school P.E. teacher to something more akin to a well-oiled surfer bro.\nWebb was not being critical, he was quick to say, though he did concede that his friends and family do chastise him when he wears a T-shirt tucked into his jeans on occasion. guards.\"\nThose instructions, clearly, are no longer applicable.\n\"Untucked has been the clear preference since at least 2016,\" said Pete Hoppins, who as senior design director for Nike Football helped outfit about a third of the teams in Russia. \"And for that reason, we design the waistbands [of the shorts] to rest very comfortably directly on the skin.\"\nHoppins added that one by-product of the untucking movement is that Nike has actually done away with the drawstring that used to be a staple of soccer shorts; with so many players preferring to untuck (thus removing the protective barrier between the irritating drawstring and the sensitive areas of their abdomen), eliminating the drawstring altogether was simply a matter of comfort.\nWhile Hoppins targets roughly two years ago as the period when untucking went fully mainstream in soccer, there are jersey revolutionaries that dot the sport's history. For example, Michel Platini, the legendary French scorer, may well be known for winning the Ballon d'Or three times, but he is also a forefather of the flapping shirttail.\nPlatini's commitment to his untucking was particularly remarkable since he did so in the 1980s, when -- in an unfortunate combination -- blousy shirts and short-shorts were also \"in.\" What resulted, then, were pictures in which Platini looked a bit like he was a painter who, for some reason, had chosen to wear high socks and a France national team smock to his studio.\nThe current iteration of untucking is, thankfully, sleeker. Most uniform designers have taken to slimming and shortening the fit of their jerseys, to allow for an untucked look that presents neater.\n\"For at least the last 10 years we've been designing the jerseys to be worn untucked or tucked in,\" Hoppins said, and part of that is because designers want fans who buy replica jerseys to also feel comfortable wearing them untucked as well.\nFrom a fashion perspective, soccer would appear to be progressive, one of the only team sports that doesn't involve bulky equipment where untucking has become the norm. Baseball, basketball, cricket and rugby (at least at the start of the game) all have maintained the tucked-in look, but soccer's shift towards untucking is not without stylistic nuance.\nNeil Thornton, a fashion and style writer from London who also runs a popular lifestyle blog, said his initial reaction to the loss of widespread tucking-in meant that \"a sense of formality and poise\" had been sacrificed, though he did appreciate that untucking is \"in keeping with the times and an ever-fluid view of dress codes\" in the workplace.\nThat said, Thornton's biggest concern is that while jersey designs have been generally modified to allow for untucking, the problem is when the shirts aren't bespoke to the players.\n\"They aren't altered for shorter players,\" Thornton said. \"So, on some it can look neat while others look like they are wearing it like a body-con dress as it hugs the hips and butt.\"\nOf course, as with any fashion movement, a word of caution is in order: Nothing lasts forever. (Remember when goalkeepers wore knickerbockers?)\n\"These trends do tend to swing back and forth,\" Hoppins said. \"So it also won't surprise us to see jerseys tucked in again sometime."}

She didn’t look particularly special. She dressed well. She wore a long skirt. But when she sat down, the scent of cheap old lady flowery perfume that you’d find in the chain drugstore puffed out of her skirt. And although she sat rather still and without much notice, I could smell the fart that was seeping through the crevices of her body and clothes. It was not coming from the guy sitting on the other side of me. The smells were coming from her. I was sitting down wind from her so I knew for sure it was her. Mixing the cheap perfume with farts did not make for a pleasant experience for the olfactory let alone the train ride.\nOn top of the disgusting mixture of fart and cheap perfume, she also had bad breath. It was rancid! Worse than the cheap perfume she was wearing and the farts she was was producing. The combination of all three was a one, two, knock out punch. I wanted to throw up.\nAnd then when I got up to get off the train, I noticed I was carrying her nasty fart with me as I walked to the door. I’m sure the people I passed must think I smell bad."}

Becky also runs marathons for charity and is a Special Constable with the Essex Police Service.\n2008 FINALISTS\nCharlotte Fudge Biccies\nWhilst studying at the London College of Fashion, Charlotte spent time analysing market trends and then combined her passion for baking and business to launch Biccies, an online mail order company supplying promotional and personalised biscuits. The company also caters for bespoke offerings, such as including photographs on the biscuits, perfect for weddings, party invitations and birthday presents. Corporate clients include Virgin Holidays.\nTara Quinney Tara Jewellery\nTara always had a passion for jewellery, and began buying and selling antique and vintage jewellery at flea markets, as well as producing her own designs which she sold at craft fairs. When leaving school, she set up Tara Jewellery, selling contemporary designs online, and then built on this success to open her first shop on her 19th birthday. Future plans include opening further shops, designing another range of her own jewellery, and building on her service offering bespoke designs.\n2007 WINNER\nRebecca Philipson UR In The Paper\nRebecca got the idea for her company UR In The Paper when she asked her grandfather what he would like for his birthday. He said he would like to have his name in the paper like the ones he had seen on Blackpool Pier when he was a child. Rebecca discovered a gap in the market as she couldn’t find such a gift and so decided to make one herself. Her first gift was greatly coveted and she created more for family and friends. The papers became so popular that she had to leave university and seek business advice to grow the company. Having developed the software and successfully marketed the products, Rebecca has established contracts with leading retailers, Tescos and WHSmith and is soon opening an outlet in Baker Street, London.\n2007 FINALISTS\nRebecca Hill The Flower Shop Hythe. Although she was still working elsewhere full time, Rebecca worked until the small hours getting the shop ready. The florist is now the leading flower shop in Hythe, employing three members of staff. Rebecca puts the success of the shop down to the fact that she doesn’t compromise on quality, she only sources the best products.\nGunpreet Kahlon Alpine Real Estate\nGunpreet started her career working for BA after finishing a BEng in Aerospace Engineering, however after buying her first house and then realising that prices had doubled in two years, she decided to invest in more property. She used equity from the first purchase to fund more properties and founded Alpine Real Estate in 2002, offering rental properties for private individuals, students and professionals. She now buys a house whenever there is a good deal and is inspired by her self-motivation to succeed. Gunpreet is proud of the fact that she has built the business herself and is spurred on by positive feedback from all of her tenants and has now branched into property developing, with multi-million pound developments in the pipeline.\n2006 WINNER\nKaty Geddes Belgravia Florist\nAt a young age Katy Geddes set her heart on being a florist. However she knew that to succeed as a specialist florist shop owner she would have to come up with a truly unique selling point as many high street retail stores and supermarkets now offer flowers. Her solution was to carry a range of exclusive design-led gifts to complement customer’s fl ower purchases. Katy’s next big challenge was her age: as a 22 year old with no assets she struggled to raise finance. With some persistence and the expertise of her father’s accountant, Katy was able to make a strong enough case to raise a bank loan and purchase the florist’s business she had worked for as a student. The business has flourished under Katy’s ownership, fuelled by her vibrant, sociable personality as well as her clear understanding of her customers’ needs.\n2006 FINALISTS\nSarah Green 1st for furniture Ltd\nWith a mature business mind and a level-headedness well beyond her years, Sarah Green defies every teenage stereotype. At just 18 she launched a furniture business, ‘1st for Furniture’, with the aim of providing corner shop service at high street prices. Using a £700 redundancy payment from her previous job – which she managed to stretch with some skilful bartering with suppliers – Sarah stocked a small barn with a limited range of high quality furniture. Having no financial backing was a considerable obstacle and she was forced to rely purely on word of mouth and return custom. Sarah initially underestimated how physically tough the delivery side of things would be: ‘solid oak furniture is extremely heavy’ she says. After six months of robust trading Sarah set up an e-commerce website and now, aged 20, her company has become one of the leading suppliers of solid oak furniture online.\nBecki Train Events Northern Ltd\nThe events industry is heavily centred on London and Becki Train realised there was a huge gap in the market for events services in the north of Britain. With the help of a small loan from her parents, Becki set up a comprehensive events management service, Events Northern. She worked evenings and weekends in a bar for the first six months so that she didn’t need to take a wage from the company. Only two years\nafter setting up, Becki’s company is already well respected in the region, with an enviable list of clients. The majority of her work is now repeat business or the result of recommendations. While Becki was very conscious of her young age to begin with, nowadays she champions the idea of young people going into business, believing that if you offer a professional, quality service and have the right experience, then age is irrelevant.\n2005 WINNER\nAlice Shreeve Belle and Bunty\nAs young graduates from the London School of Fashion, Alice and her business partner Hannah were determined to create their own women's wear label. Funding tends to be limited in the competitive world of fashion and so Alice has often had to turn to freelance consultancy and grindingly long hours to sustain her business. Initial success has seen high-profile London stores and exclusive boutiques in New York, Los Angeles, Paris, Belgium, Scotland and Beirut stocking the Belle and Bunty designs. With a head-turning display at this year's London Fashion Week, Belle and Bunty's designs have been described as ‘pretty, luxurious and stylish' and the Belle and Bunty brand has been tipped as ‘one to watch'.\n2005 FINALISTS\nKatie Pennington-Collins K2 Greetings Limited\nA passion for the unique, exotic beauty of Oriental and Pacific landscapes led Katie to create a portfolio of photographs that formed the basis for a very original range of greetings cards. Undeterred by a lack of finance, she and her cousin, Kurt, managed to raise a £30,000 loan to create their first stock of cards. But inspiring designs were not enough to prevent an initial disaster: due to a poor choice of printer the first production of 50,000 cards were commercially unacceptable. With no cards to sell, the business was in jeopardy. Bouncing back with entrepreneurial determination, a second loan and a little more industry knowledge, Katie and Kurt have succeeded in signing a deal with high-street giant, Clintons. Their aim now is to become one of the UK's top 5 greetings card publishers.\nCalypso Rose Clippykit Ltd\nCalypso's first bag design started life on the kitchen table, as a way of displaying her own photographs and memorabilia in a ‘portable scrapbook'. Quickly recognising that her design might have wider appeal, Calypso obtained an initial meagre loan, sourced an English plastics supplier and set up a stall on the Portobello Road in London. From a standing start, the brand now known as Clippykit has blossomed, with the likes of Jools Oliver and Tara Palmer-Tomkinson seen sporting Clippykit bags. While her bags are the kind of personal gift that's guaranteed to bring a smile to someone's face, they also have immense potential as corporate gifts as they can be easily adapted to carry a logo or strapline. Calypso's success is proof that entrepreneurial magic can be conjured up at any age.\n2004 WINNER\nGill Chapple Bedsearcher\nOn leaving university at 21, Gillian Chapple started Bedsearcher, an internet booking service, in 2002. Through industry slumps and dot com depressions, Bedsearcher has emerged as one of the rare dot com success stories. Due to her youth and lack of experience, Gill was unable to secure a loan in the early stages of the business. However, Gill's hard work and determination, sometimes working over 120 hours a week, has ensured success. The company now enables online booking of nearly 8,000 UK hotels and is on target to generate booking revenues in excess of £1.5 million this year. Gill is now in the process of employing more staff to aid nationwide and European expansion. Her vision is for Bedsearcher to be the leading worldwide provider of accommodation by 2007.\n2004 FINALISTS\nMaria Bradshaw The Suit Company\nMaria Bradshaw set up The Suit Company, dealing in Men's formal wear, in September 2003, at the age of 22. Since leaving school, Maria worked for one of her suppliers but decided to take the leap and become her own boss last year. Swapping a well paid job and a ‘hectic' social life for living with her parents and no social life has been one of the biggest hurdles for Maria. However, the business has benefited from Maria's dedication and in the past year she has hired men's suits to over 100 wedding parties and provided many more for other formal events. Keen to pass on her experiences, over the past 12 months Maria has been speaking to school leavers with the aim of encouraging more young people into entrepreneurship.\nTabitha Cameron Pedro Project\nAfter the sudden death of her brother Peter 'Pedro' Cameron in 2002, Tabitha Cameron found that there was no service or network aimed at supporting young adults in times of bereavement. Whilst dealing with the severe effects of her own grief Tabitha took time out of university and, with the help of family and her brother's friends, and with no funding, set up the Pedro Project, a charity dedicated to providing information, advice and support to bereaved young adults. The Pedro Project assists and supports young adults of all backgrounds and differing circumstances through their own individual grieving, often dealing with mental illness, drug and alcohol abuse and self-harm in the process.\n2003 WINNER\nMehnaz Kiran Rivaaz Collections\nFresh out of college, Kiran set up Rivaaz Collections after recognising a gap in the market for a boutique which could provide tailor-made clothes combining traditional Asian culture with modern trends. With the advice of Burnley Enterprise Trust and the active support of her mother who runs her own beauty salon above Kiran's boutique, this 19 year-old has adopted a new set of skills to manage her business. Taking a very active role in local women's groups, she is a huge inspiration to the community where her entrepreneurial efforts to meet the needs of a multi-cultural market have broken down many traditional barriers.\n2003 FINALIST\nVictoria Freight Victoria's Mobile Chiropody\nLeaving school with no qualifications, Victoria undertook a home-study course to qualify as a chiropodist and upon completing it, took the courageous step of setting up her own business - Victoria's Mobile Chiropody - at 19. Spurred on by the desire to forge her own career and not to pack cucumbers all her life, which she had to do to fund her studies, Victoria's strength of spirit and cheerful outlook has sustained her through many challenges and long hours of hard work. She has established a significant regular clientele who enjoy a caring service which she believes benefits her clients' personal well-being as well as their feet!"}

{"text": "ROCKVILLE, Md. — Every county likes to be at the top of the list of the best places to live, but how does your county stack up when it comes to tax rates?\nThe Montgomery County Council Office of Legislative Oversight reported that when it comes to the tax burden on individuals and businesses, the county is not the most taxed in the region, and in most categories comes in at No. 3.\nThe OLO report released Tuesday compared the tax burden in six jurisdictions: Montgomery, Howard, Frederick and Prince George’s counties in Maryland, Fairfax County in Virginia, and D.C.\nFor a family of three at various income levels from $25,000 to $150,000, the report shows that Montgomery County’s tax burden is the third-highest in the region at all levels, except for the $50,000 income level, where Montgomery County comes in fifth.\nWhen it came to calculating the tax burden on businesses, the findings are more complex. The report also makes distinctions between businesses that fall under corporate tax levels and those that are “pass-through” entities or limited liability companies.\nIn calculating the tax burden on businesses, the report also uses figures from a September 2013 document created for the D.C. Tax Revision Commission. That report found that in some cases, taxes are lower for businesses in Montgomery County compared with other jurisdictions, including Fairfax County, Prince George’s County and D.C. But the OLO report also notes that some of the tax rates used in that 2013 report have changed since its publication.\nThe Montgomery County Council will hold a full briefing on the report July 12.\nThe post Montgomery Co. taxes ranked 3rd-highest in region for most incomes appeared first on WTOP."}

{"text": "Jan:\nI appreciated your thoughtful discussion and request for suggestions\nregarding the gender related harassment of students who \"act different,\" in\nparticular boys whose behavior falls outside the narrow boundaries of\nacceptable \"boy behavior.\" Any behavior outside the lines or the \"male\nbox\"\n(drawing on a popular awareness activity) is often perceived as not male or\neffeminate. There are few boys who are not aware of these boundaries and\nthe\nprice that one pays for stepping outside. Michael Thompson (co-author of\nRaising Cain) calls homophobia a \"force stronger than gravity in the lives\nof\nadolescent boys.\" And the teasing and bullying that is directed toward\nsuch\nboys reflects a homophobia that is far more insidious than the narrower\n\"fear\nof homosexuality.\"\nHowever, the tentacles of homophobia reach far beyond the treatment of\ngays,\nlesbians and the transgendered. From my perspective, I see that more\nnarrowly directed brand of homophobia almost a \"red herring\" (though\nunderstandably and frighteningly real for GLBT individuals) that misdirects\nour attention from the broader and deeper problem; namely, the policing of\nall boys away from qualities that humanize us and connect us to our\nfeelings\nand the feeling of others. This works against the development of empathy,\nplain and simple. I challenge anyone to tell me that homophobia of this\ntype\nis not a dynamic in almost every boy's life.\nThis broader form of homophobic policing is often acceptable within our\ninstitutions and social interactions and, a such, is perpetuated by adults\nand students alike. It reveals itself in the \"innocent\" comments such as\n\"don't be such a wuss\" or \"he's just a mama's boy\" that I frequently\noverhear\nfrom parents and coaches on the sidelines of the playing fields. I realize\nwhat you are referring to with respect to your son and others is more\nextreme, but such acceptability makes it harder to draw the line when it\ncomes to the behavior of those who don't \"fit in.\" In the grand scheme it\nis\npart of the same package and it all, to a certain degree, serves to\ndisconnect many boys from their own feelings and those of others. And its\noften played out under the guise of \"making men\" out of our boys.\nPardon my digression here from your interest in suggestions, but it is\nimportant to say that I find the absence of any discussion of homophobia\nfrom\nthe recent book, \"The War Against Boys,\" more than telling from a political\nperspective. The word is never mentioned in its almost 200 pages. Curious\nbecause almost any boy will tell you that the worst thing he can be called\nis\na \"fag\" or any related term. You see, homophobia is part of the real \"war\nagainst boys.\" And contrary to the argument that Sommers posits, it is not\na\nconstruction of the femininst agenda. Quite predictably, she argues that\nthe\nwar against boys is, in part, an attempt to \"feminize boys\"...to, in\neffect,\ndeny them their true nature. What nature is that? To mistreat those who do\nnot reflect the values of traditional masculinity? In effect, Sommers and\nher supporters are reinforcing such broad based homophobia by labeling the\nqualities that connect us as humans as \"feminine.\" There is much invested\nin\nmaintaining the \"status quo\" here and make no mistake about it, the\nconservatives feel strongly that we cannot afford a nation of\n\"tenderminded\"\nmales. Just as Teddy Roosevelt saw them as a threat in the early 1900's,\nSommers is giving us the 21st century version of that same argument.\nAs for suggestions, you clearly identify one key strategy when you indicate\n\"it makes a huge difference when teachers confront this problem.\" I\ncouldn't\nagree more and will add to that the critical importance of adult males\nwithin\nour schools and communities who openly confront every form of homophobia.\nThe\nmere confrontation of homophobia by men and women in our schools reflects\nthe\n\"caring and compassion\" that, while open to being labeled \"feminine,\" truly\nerves to create the foundation of our communities. And for those who\nthink\nthis much ado about nothing, I must point out the consciousness and courage\nreflected in the decision of the Department of Education in Scotland to\nprohibit the use of \"sissy\" and related terms in their schools. By doing\nso\nthey have openly recognized the emotional power such words carry in the\nlives\nof our children...especially our boys.\nMy own experience with teachers has taught me the simple power of raising\nconsciousness about far reaching and a limiting effects that homophobia can\nhave on all of us. Further, in my work with men and boys I have also\nexperienced the struggle that males often have in moving beyond their own\nhomophobia. Whie it speaks to the power of homohobia, the struggle is\nessential if we are to ever create the kind of learning and work\nenvironments\nthat are truly safe and humanizing at the same time they value the\ndifferences that any community offers.\nIn closing, the \"wake up call\" necessary to combat homophobia was more than\nevident this past year as students (2 boys and a girl) filed lawsuits\nagainst\nthree school districts in my area of New York State alleging \"deliberate\nindifference\" with respect to repeated patterns of homophobic teasing and\nbullying. Individual teachers were named in at least two of the suits for\nobserving the bullying and not intervening. Such acceptability results\nfrom\nan unconsciousness that can no longer be tolerated. As Nan Stein has\nindicated recently, we need to shift our attention from \"zero tolerance\" to\n\"zero indifference.\" I fear for the hurt so many children will continue to\nexperience until we all have the courage to confront such behavior.\nThanks again for your insights. I look for to other approaches and\nstrategies throughout this dialogue.\nCraig Flood\nCFlood@aol.com\nThis archive was generated by hypermail 2.1.2 : Fri Apr 12 2002 - 15:15:45 EDT"}

For the purpose of this guidance, older adults are those aged 65 years and older. Specifically, this guidance includes recommendations for including an adequate representation of older adults in cancer clinical trials to better enable evaluation of the benefit-risk profile of cancer drugs in this population. The guidance emphasizes the particular importance of including adults over age 75 years in cancer clinical trials. This guidance is intended to assist stakeholders, including sponsors and institutional review boards, responsible for the development and oversight of clinical trials.\nEnrolling an adequate representation of the range of patients in a clinical trial that may be exposed to a drug after approval can maximize the generalizability of the trial results. It provides the ability to understand the drug’s benefit-risk profile across the patient population likely to use the drug in clinical practice (e.g., to identify whether there are differences in the benefits, risks, or both of the drug in different populations).

{"text": "**This bipartisan legislation would modernize patient care in Medicare and Medicaid to better prevent opioid-related injury in hospitalized patients**\nWashington, D.C. — Today, Representatives Annie Kuster (D-NH) and Tom Emmer (R-MN) introduced the Inpatient Opioid Safety Act of 2021, legislation to improve patient safety, simplify care, and reduce preventable opioid-induced injury and death under the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Though opioids are effective in managing pain, the Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation warns that drug-induced respiratory depression after surgery is a serious patient safety risk. This bill would modernize how hospitalized patients receiving opioid medication are treated by requiring hospitals to use continuous physiologic monitoring.\nIt is estimated that 180,000 individuals experience opioid-related serious adverse events annually in the inpatient setting. While the number one reason for these adverse events is medication errors, improper monitoring is indicated as the second-leading cause of inpatient opioid morbidity. The bipartisan Inpatient Opioid Safety Act of 2021 seeks to change that and help save lives across America.\n“Beyond the threat of addiction, opioid medications can cause serious complications for patients after surgery,” said Rep. Annie Kuster. “Millions of Americans rely on Medicaid and Medicare for treatment, and this bill would modernize post-operative care to prevent opioid-related injury and death. I am proud to introduce this bipartisan legislation, and look forward to working across the aisle to get this over the finish line for patients across the country.”\n“In an inpatient setting, opioids remain the most commonly used form of pain management,” said Rep. Tom Emmer. “As a result, drug-induced respiratory depression remains a serious safety risk for patients. With the addition of proper continuous patient monitoring, instances like this can easily be detected and avoided. This legislation will ensure patient safety comes first and reduce preventable tragedies from opioid-induced injuries and death.”\n“Research done at Dartmouth-Hitchcock over many years has shown that patient harm and deaths caused by the administration of opioids in the hospital are preventable,” said Dr. George Blike, Medical Director, Center for Surgical Innovation at Dartmouth-Hitchcock. “I thank Representatives Kuster and Emmer for their on-going leadership to take critical steps to improve patient safety across the country.”\n###"}

{"text": "Logan affirms my belief that the PG-13 nature of most Superhero movies hampers their action. This movie has the same director, James Mangold, as The Wolverine but the action here is so much more viscerally satisfying because it’s allowed to go for it. And by go for it I mean having a little girl murder the shit out of people. And y’know blood and limbs getting cut off is good too.\nThis is also just a really good script. This is just much better material for Patrick Stewart to work with than this role has ever given him before; that dude is such a great actor and this really the first time an X-Men movie has given him the opportunity to do so. But this story is really about Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine, and it gives the character (and the actor) a great and appropriate sendoff.\nThis is one of those movies watched and wondered how was someone allowed to make this movie? I mean the short answer is that Deadpool made all the money so Fox was more willing to back a creator’s R-rated vision. This movie has very little in common with Deadpool though, it’s tonally on basically the opposite side of the spectrum. There’s actually a little teaser for Deadpool 2 ahead of the movie, which was good and funny but also resulted in some tonal whiplash.\nEven though that ended with Deadpool resting his head on a dead body, there was a fun lightness to that that makes stark contrast with a drunk Logan whose healing factor is failing him stumbling out of the limo he drives to try and stop some dudes who’re trying to jack his rims and then kick the shit out of him until he musters up just enough strength to murder the shit out of them before collapsing.\nAlso X-23 is one of my favorite X-Men characters and it was real cool to see a version of her in a movie. Not only did they do a decent job of telling her story in a movie that’s still not really about her, but they got to build the relationship between her and Wolverine from the start; something the comics just didn’t get to do.\nThis is maybe darker than I would have expected I wanted from a comic book movie, except that the X-Men are uniquely suited to going darker than most other series. This isn’t the kind of movie you repeat for a franchise; this is just a good idea for a single story that’s well told. AKA it’s a good movie and not also worried about being an ad for other movies. (Except for y’know, the ad for another movie that comes right before it.)\nWhat this movie actually reminds me the most of is 2008’s Cable, an X-Men comic that was also about its title character taking care of a young girl as they flee from a pursuer after her. There are plenty of differences, but that core dynamic is similar enough that it reminded me of it.\nI really love that core dynamic by the way. Like, a lot.\nSo yea, Logan is great, I highly recommended it. I’d say it’s the best of all the X-Men movies, including Deadpool. (And X-Men: Apocalypse and X-Men: The Last Stand are the only two of those movies I really don’t like) It’s just kinda perfect.\nAs a minor nitpicky footnote though I will say that this movie continues the trend of pitting our hero against a villain with basically his same power set, which Deadpool also did. I don’t have an issue with It in this movie, it works really well for this story actually, but it’s just kinda baffling to me that this trend keeps going.\nI don’t know where you go with X-Men movies after this though. (Besides making Deadpool 2) This isn’t a franchise movie, a big part of it’s appeal is the completeness of its story; but going back to the tone and style of the previous X-Men movies would also feel real disappointing at this point. For me the success of this and Deadpool show the power of passionate people telling the story they want to tell with these iconic characters, as more than just the sum of their parts. I’m saying I’m afraid Hollywood is gonna take the wrong lessons from their success (as it tends to) and we’re just gonna get more comic book movies about geriatrics with Alzheimer’s and drunk limo drivers. Although if they just give me movies about children stabbing adults I’d be down for that, so maybe there’s hope yet."}

{"text": "Stogie Guys Friday Sampler CLXXIII\n22 Jan 2010\nAs we have since July 2006, each Friday we’ll post a mixed bag of quick cigar news and other items of interest. We call ‘em Friday Samplers. Enjoy.\n1) Washington is eying new legislation that would restrict outdoor smoking in the nation’s capital. The proposal, currently under consideration by the city council, would criminalize sidewalk smoking within 25 feet of participating businesses. “If store owners don’t want smoking in their places of business, they have the right to declare their property smoke-free. And if these property owners don’t want people to smoke outside of their places of business, they have the right to ask people not to smoke there,” said Chris McCalla of IPCPR. “But enacting legislation that gives the government authority over these individual property rights we do not support. Not only is it not justified from a medical standpoint, it is not a justified deprivation of our personal rights from a constitutional standpoint.”\n2) Other Smoking Ban Alerts: Los Angeles is banning smoking in outdoor dining areas and around “mobile food trucks.” Indiana lawmakers are hoping to make their state the 39th with some sort of statewide ban. Montana’s new indoor ban contributed to an 18% drop in gambling revenue.\n3) Inside the Industry: CAO will soon release two new sizes of their La Traviata blend: a corona (5.6 x 46) called “Favorito” and a belicoso (5.5 x 52) called “Animado.” Joya de Nicaragua is releasing its fifth line, a bundle cigar called the Fuerte Serie B that will be made in fours sizes and sell in the $2-4 range.\n4) Around the Blogs: Stogie Review fires up a Zino Platinum Crown Series Emperor Edition 2009. Cigar Jack smokes a Toraño Exodus 50 Years. Nice Tight Ash looks at the E.P. Carrillo Edicion Inaugural 2009. Velvet Cigar reviews the Room 101 by Camacho. A Cigar Smoker and Lindsay Heller smoke the Opus X “Love Affair.”\n5) Deal of the Week: Looking for a few good smokes and a new humidor?

The partnership has hit the ground running with the deployment of StarHub 5G Standalone (SA) services and Singapore’s first 100% solar-powered campus WiFi by StarHub 5G within NUS.\nSupported by the enhanced infrastructure, StarHub and NUS are now working on a variety of 5G and IoT applications that will further improve the management of outdoor campus facilities operations. Enabled by StarHub’s 5G IoT platform service, the joint exploration will bolster the University’s ability to manage campus facilities more efficiently, drawing from ‘live’ data which can be consolidated from a network of sensors regardless of the number, type or brand.\nThe wide variety of 5G and IoT use cases in smart facilities management include building facade inspection, housekeeping and landscape management, waste management, security management, and augmented/virtual reality applications, using the campus as an immersive classroom for sustainability education.\nCharlie Chan, Chief, Enterprise Business Group, StarHub said, “As a hub for work, study and play, the NUS campus is a prime living laboratory for us to reimagine Digital and Green applications, for a smarter, more sustainable future. 5G has come at a time when operational efficiency and climate change matters are fast becoming priorities for businesses, campuses, and government entities. Recognised as the world’s most sustainable Wireless Telecommunications Service Provider in 2022 Corporate Knights Global 100, we have gained renewed drive to enable like-minded organisations, such as NUS, to transform processes and infrastructure with innovative 5G solutions, to achieve their green goals.”\nElaborating about the transformative power of 5G for enterprise clients, Charlie added, “With our 5G IoT platform service, we are moving fast to becoming the partner of choice for digitalisation, automation, robotics, data analytics and secure managed services. Partnering NUS, we are capitalising on 5G to build a smart sensor network and generate new insights, for more agile decision-making and greater workforce productivity. The solutions we create will drive business success for organisations, as they transform their processes, operations and infrastructure for their stakeholders in this digital-first world.”\nMs Tan Shui-Min, Chief Information Technology Officer at NUS shared, “We are excited to partner StarHub on 5G, which is set to boost connectivity on campus and transform our University through technology. We have piloted a first-in-class outdoor WiFi powered by 5G to complement our indoor campus wireless network, engendering a seamless and reliable connectivity experience for staff and students. Sharpening our competitiveness in education, research and innovation, this collaboration has brought us closer to our vision of being a borderless university, where learning and working can take place anywhere, anytime and through any device.”\nKoh Yan Leng, Vice President (Campus Infrastructure) at NUS said, “The high-speed connectivity and real-time communications that 5G provides will allow us to redesign our facilities management workflow, enhancing productivity, efficiency and safety, as well as provide targeted responses tailored to different situations. The 5G IoT services, coupled with industry-relevant solutions developed in partnership with StarHub, will allow NUS to build new capabilities in smart facilities management, bringing us closer to our goal of being a Smart, Safe and Sustainable campus whilst supporting the industry transformation of the built environment sector.”\nStarHub and NUS intend to set up a pop-up showcase in the first half of 2022, for faculty, partners and students to visualise and experience the enhancements to campus life brought about by the joint work on 5G innovation."}

You influence others by focusing on their story – not yours.\n“I’m not super successful.”\nYour level of success has nothing to do with your ability to listen. Many people are seeking influencers who they can simply talk to, and who will share a different perspective.\n“I’ve got some skeletons in my closet.”\nFailure makes you human. There’s someone out there who can relate to – and learn from – your failures. So can you.\n“Nobody has ever asked me to be a mentor or influencer in their life.”\nThen your first opportunity is ready for you! Don’t wait for someone to ask you to speak into his or her life.

{"text": "Zoo Animal: Zoo Animal Review\n81/100\nIt is a strange phenomenon when you put in a bands debut full length for the first time and its sounds familiar and well worn in, as was the case for me with Zoo Animal’s debut, self titled long player. The band, a group I have really liked for the last few years, have been in pretty constant rotation with their debut EP and seeing them live too many times to count. Their debut, self titled LP is a great step for the band and really shows the strengths that front woman Holly Newsom possess as a songwriter and singer.\nLike their previous work, the songs are built around skeletal guitar arrangements and sparse rhythms that highlight Newsom’s excellent avant pop songwriting. On album highlights like the unwieldy “Bad Seed,” the sweet “Worker Bee” and the dark and driving “Baybee,” the band shows their versatility and range by really stretching out their songs and incorporating different genres to back Newsom’s emotionally poignant voice. The songs are short (15 songs over a quick 40 minutes) but really cover a lot of ground. Like their EP, the album sounds a lot like a more volitale Chan Marshal fronting a more rootsy Pixies, but mostly the group does a good job of finding a way to create unique soundscapes that utilize and exploit the strengths of this three piece. Listening to the album, you get the distinct impression that this is a group who are consistently evolving and trying out new ideas, often mid song, and finding new ways to stretch out their unique songs. This LP is just another step in their ever changing sound and a record that shows a band with a lot of talent, and a group that will be exciting to watch as they move forward.\nAfter their EP came out, the group made no secret of the fact that they were a Christian band. While that is something that would usually make me run for the hills, their work so far leans more towards Sufjan Stevens understated work than Jars of Clay (are they still around? Or whomever took their place) in your face, praise the lord work. While there are undoubtedly moments that find Newsom weaving her faith front and center, for the most part the album can be taken for what the listeners want. For non-believers, you can ignore. For believers, well, you have a very rare album that speaks to you and doesn’t, you know, suck. With their first official LP out, Zoo Animal are doing nothing to dampen the buzz that they are one of the best up and coming pop bands in Minneapolis and a group that seem to be going from strength to strength.\n-Josh\nWriter / co-founder\n1 Response\n[…] a full review check out this, or this (written for my very own Minnesota […]"}

{"text": "The Benefits of Yoga\nOriginating in India, around 5000 years ago, yoga is a form of exercise that focuses on flexibility, strength and breathing. According to a national survey conducted in the Yoga Journal and the Yoga Alliance, the number of people practicing yoga in the US alone grew by over 50% from 2012 to 2016. If you’re debating taking up yoga, here are a few of the benefits.\nIt’s a great way to improve flexibility\nYoga can improve flexibility as holding yoga stretches and poses for a period of time allows muscles to go deeper into the stretch. Yin Yoga tends to hold poses for longer so that the deeper tissues feel the positive effects of the stretches. Vinyasa flow yoga is also said to promote flexibility, as although the poses are not held for as long as those in Yin Yoga, the poses are linked together in flow, which warms the muscles, allowing for a deeper stretch.\nIt can strengthen the muscles\nYoga is a form of functional fitness. You use both large and small muscles and move in many directions, not just back and forth in one motion. It combines the three elements of muscle growth: passive overload, metabolic stress, and mechanical damage.\nTo explain these in simple terms, progressive overload is when you keep lifting heavier and heavier over a period of time, which your body facilitates by building muscle. Yoga differs slightly in that you’re lifting your body weight, which isn’t going to significantly change week on week, however the increase is in the pose progression.\nMetabolic stress is a physiological process that your muscles undergo during exercise and is caused by the accumulation of waste metabolites, it’s that feeling when you think you can’t possibly manage another rep. This process has a positive effect on muscle growth. Vinyasa is great for metabolic stress, as there is no rest between poses, which encourages the build-up of waste metabolites, usually caused by anaerobic respiration.\nMechanical damage involves microscopic tears in the muscle fibres which are caused by the eccentric contractions involved in performing yoga poses. Any yoga pose that involves lowering your body can be eccentric training and you can increase the intensity by slowing your descent.\nIt can improve your posture\nResearch has found that yoga exercises can help with bad posture. The spine is the central channel of the nervous system, so it’s crucial to keep your spine healthy and happy. The core integration sequence of yoga exercises helps by building a strong core foundation to support your posture, helping with alignment. Yoga encourages increased awareness of the body through pose positioning and movement.\nIt’s a brilliant way to de-stress\nYoga is great for clearing the mind as it focuses on breath work, drawing our attention towards our breathing rather than our thoughts, a common practice in meditation. Yoga sessions will usually conclude with five minutes spent relaxing in corpse pose, lying flat on the back, which allows for the release of tension in the mind and the body.\nNext up, get the low down on protein shakes here."}

{"text": "Lately, I’ve been a real fan of 2 ways of managing my Azure resources: number one, the new Window Terminal (Preview) and number 2, the Azure Cloud Shell. Now there is a way to combine the two. Last weekend (August 2nd) an announcement was made in regards to the new Windows Terminal Preview v0.3 Release.\nThe newest version of the preview has, among other improvements, a new connector that allows you to connect to the Azure Cloud Shell within the Terminal. That means that we can access our files and projects stored within Azure. More specifically the code we have stored in the linked “clouddrive” in your Azure subscription.\nPankaj Bhojwani, in his article announcing the Azure Cloud Shell Connector in Windows Terminal, outlines how to add the Azure Shell profile to your Windows Terminal. First, you need to ensure that you are running the latest version of the Windows terminal. In the menu drop-down, select “About” and verify that you are running version 0.3.2142.0 or above.\nIf you are not, install the latest release from our GitHub repo release page. Or from the Microsoft Store,\nFrom there, it’s easy. Open the Windows terminal, in the drop-down, select “Settings” and add the following code to the end of the profile section.\nI changed two things from Pankaj’s article. The first one is the colour scheme. I changed it to “Campbell.” I was not a big fan of the “Vintage” scheme, and the second change is the “useAcrylic” set to false instead of true. This last one prevents the semi-transparent background of the terminal. Again… Not a big fan.\nThe changes look like this.\nNow that its setup and running here is how you use the connector\nThe app will establish a connection with the cloud shell (this could take a minute) and Bingo you are now connected to your Azure Cloud Shell!\nThe next time you start the Azure Shell tab, you only need to enter “0” to confirm the tenant to access.\nYou’re in and have access to the same environment as if you were using it in a browser.\nRemember… this is still preview. It’s pretty cool. But still preview and will get better.\nThanks\nPierre\nI think the profile you included is for Ubuntu and not the Azure cloud shell.\nWas going to say the same.\nHere is the bit you need.\n{ \"acrylicOpacity\" : 0.6, \"closeOnExit\" : false, \"colorScheme\" : \"Campbell\", \"commandline\" : \"Azure\", \"connectionType\" : \"{d9fcfdfa-a479-412c-83b7-c5640e61cd62}\", \"cursorColor\" : \"#FFFFFF\", \"cursorShape\" : \"bar\", \"fontFace\" : \"Consolas\", \"fontSize\" : 10, \"guid\" : \"{b453ae62-4e3d-5e58-b989-0a998ec441b8}\", \"historySize\" : 9001, \"icon\" : \"ms-appx:///ProfileIcons/{b453ae62-4e3d-5e58-b989-0a998ec441b8}.png\", \"name\" : \"Azure Cloud Shell\", \"padding\" : \"0, 0, 0, 0\", \"snapOnInput\" : true, \"startingDirectory\" : \"%USERPROFILE%\", \"useAcrylic\" : false }\nThanks for spotting the error Richard Hooper and Rob Cannon.\nThat will teach me to write articles past midnight! I have made the corrections."}

{"text": "In a poll by the American Federation of Teachers, 17% of teachers said they lost four or more hours of teaching time per week. Another 19% said they lost two or three hours. Twenty-four percent of urban-based high school teachers reported they lost four or more hours per week. Why? Disruptive classroom behavior.\nSome children are wreaking havoc in school. There are many reasons for these behaviors: More and more are coming from troubled or chaotic homes; and antisocial behaviors like showing no remorse, being verbally or physically abusive, aggressiveness, and defiance exist. All of which can result in school safety issues.\nAny of these can potentially ruin successful schooling and life after school for these students. Even activities like talking in class, tardiness, and cheating can prevent classmates from receiving the attention they deserve.\nYour teachers are overwhelmed and need specific interventions to improve their students’ behaviors.\nSuperintendents: You’re Up to Bat for Your Students and Teachers!\nLet’s face it. You have to go to bat for your students and their teachers. Disruptive student behaviors have far-ranging implications: students won’t do well in school, and their positive outlooks once they leave school can be dim.\nBut you know you have even more challenges. You’re experiencing problems with low graduation rates and troubled kids who may not graduate. And if they’re showing disruptive classroom behavior, they may be out of school to begin with from suspensions. That’s leaving you with significant drops in attendance. Those add up to possible—or already occurring—losses in funding.\nTo add insult to injury, you have to reduce your reports of bullying, harassment, fighting, and violent behaviors, not to mention support your teachers who are losing teaching time from disruptive classroom behavior.\nFinally, you need to receive reports of improved student behaviors and school performances, and stay up-to-date with possible solutions to greatly improve your schools.\nThere are behavioral interventions that exist to help you out with your schools’ most pressing problems of disruptive classroom behaviors.\nSocial and Emotional Learning: Teaching the Whole Student\nSocial and emotional learning, or SEL, is a vital part of a student’s education that leads to positive outcomes across the board: improvements in student behavior, reductions in disruptive behaviors, and greater overall academic achievement. It uses a series of five competencies that go beyond traditional learning and that occur in the classroom.\nSEL teaches students how to resolve conflicts, empathize, handle emotions, and make responsible decisions.\nLet’s look at SEL’s core competencies.\n1. Self-awareness\nWith self-awareness, students learn to recognize their strengths and weaknesses, and develop strong senses of optimism. As they learn these, they can become happier in and out of the classroom.\n2. Self-management\nAs students learn self-management, they learn how to manage their stress levels and control impulses that can lead to disruptive classroom behavior. They are taught goal setting and how to achieve them. When they have these abilities in place, they can begin to work toward personal and academic goals, and positive outcomes are the result.\n3. Social awareness\nToday’s schools are seeing an increasingly large number of diverse student populations. In 2014, 50.3% of students were identified as coming from a number of backgrounds. These included:\n- Black\n- Hispanic\n- Asian\n- American Indian or Alaska native\n- Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Island native\n- Other Non-White group\nWhy is this relevant? Empathy.\nSEL’s social awareness recognizes that students need to understand and show empathy toward others from diverse backgrounds and cultures different from themselves.\n4. Relationship skills When it comes to behavior, many students have an inability to conform to the standard social norms..\n5. Responsible decision-making When learning responsible decision-making, students work to make constructive choices about their personal behavior toward others. They develop skills to identify specific problems and analyze the situations to resolve the problems. From there, the student works on improving their social interactions based on social and safety norms.\nAs a result of SEL, teachers have seen wide-reaching effects. The Penn State Robert Wood Johnson Foundation reported that using SEL programs have far-reaching effects such as:\n- Greater academic achievement\n- Reduced conduct problems\n- Positive social behavior\n- Reduced substance abuse\n- Reduced emotional distress\nAutomated Behavior Technology for Disruptive Classroom Behavior\nAlternative Behavior Educator (ABE) is an online learning management system that provides behavioral, evidence-based interventions in the classroom, addressing school discipline problems. It makes specific corrections for problem behaviors, so students spend more time on-task, resulting in positive behavior changes.\nScholarChip’s ABE uses visual and audio programs that are designed with each individual student who has received a referral due to disruptive classroom behavior. The programs use age-appropriate, video-based tutorials, quizzes, and games that address over 50 targeted, offense-oriented behaviors.\nAt-risk students are flagged before behaviors can escalate, and ABE can identify, monitor, and chronicle them throughout their school careers.\nABE uses positive reinforcement throughout its individualized instructions, offering positive reinforcement, rewarding students when they reach desired behaviors. Students are given three attempts to achieve success. In the event they don’t pass, a referral is made for additional help.\nWith its automated daily emails, its user-friendly, and actionable data, ScholarChip’s ABE tracks successes or failures with teachers, parents, administrators, superintendents, and even school boards. Referrals become less frequent and teachers experience more positive classroom interactions and a return to more teaching time.\nAccording to Dixie County, Florida Schools Superintendent Mark Rains, he would recommend ABE to any district who wants a program and a systematic process of dealing with student behavior, discipline, and the data it produces in a positive and effectual way. He explains, “After the first semester of using ABE, our teacher-generated disciplinary referrals dropped 52% and our OSS assignments decreased by 40%.Hitting a home run\nYou need to successfully provide your teachers with ways to eliminate disruptive behaviors and restore learning time to their classrooms. In teaching the whole student with SEL’s core competencies and using ScholarChip’s ABE, these interventions help your students achieve greater academic achievement and fewer negative behaviors. ScholarChip’s ABE shapes the overall performance of your students and schools.\nYou’ve just hit a home run!\nTo learn more about how ScholarChip can help you handle disruptive classroom behaviors through the use of management techniques, reach out to schedule a free one-on-one walkthrough session with one of our specialists today!"}

{"text": "Williamsport Regional Airport Authority board members approved their long-range plan for 2013 to 2017 Thursday evening.\nThe plan includes the design and construction of a new $13.6 million airport terminal building and several improvements to runways and lighting, according to Thomas J. Hart, authority executive director.\nAnother goal of the authority's plan is to pursue an additional airline service.\nHart said the recently announced proposed merger of American Airlines and US Airways won't affect efforts to lure another carrier to the airport.\n\"We feel there is a possibility with this merger that we may have an opportunity to improve the current US Airways schedule at the airport,\" he said.\nAdditional flights and connection cities could be added, he said.\nHart said the move is a positive one for both companies.\n\"I think it's necessary for both to compete with all the other airlines that have merged in recent years. Overall, we're looking forward to it. There's probably more brand recognition with American Airlines than US Airways\" he said, noting US Airways doesn't have a large presence in other parts of the country.\nThe merger, which would take effect later this year if approved, would need to be authorized by both airlines' shareholders, a bankruptcy judge and federal regulators.\nAuthority members also approved an agreement with Airmen heating and ventilation contractors to increase its leased space by an additional 8,000 square feet.\n252 W.

{"text": "For release\nFurther information: Contact John McAndrew\nPublic Relations Office, (570) 208-5958\nOct. 20, 2016 - The Corporation for National and Community Service has named King's to the President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll in two different categories based on exemplary service efforts during the 2013-14 academic year. King's is the only Wyoming Valley institution of higher learning to be named to the Honor Roll each year since its 2006 launch.\nKing’s was named to the honor roll for the ninth consecutive year in the “General” category which, according to the Corporation for National and Community Service, exemplifies “an institutional commitment to service.”\nFor the first time, King’s also applied for inclusion to the “Education” honor roll based on service activities specifically designed to improve educational outcomes for children and youth in pre-kindergarten through undergraduate education. King’s was the only Wyoming Valley institution named to the “Education” list.\n\"The entire King’s College Community is proud of this external validation of our commitment to helping others, a hallmark of a King’s education since its founding in 1946,” said Father John Ryan, C.S.C., president. “During the 2013-2014 academic year, King’s students combined for more than 178,000 service hours.\nThe Community Service Honor Roll is the highest federal recognition a school can achieve for its commitment to community service and civic engagement. Honorees for the award were chosen based on a series of selection factors including scope and innovativeness of service projects, percentage of student participation in service activities, incentives for service, and the extent to which the school offers academic service-learning courses.\nApproximately 78 percent of all King’s full-time undergraduate and graduate students participated in service efforts during the 2013-14 academic year and the average student dedicated almost 74 hours to public service.\nKing’s has also been recognized on a national level for its public service commitment by “Washington Monthly” magazine for the past seven years. In its September/October 2016 issue, King’s in the top 100 in the master’s degree category for community service participation and hours served."}

{"text": "September 11\nAs Christians, all too often we tend to bring the world’s definitions and experiences into our thoughts of the Kingdom of God. But when we do that, we can find ourselves operating by the world’s ways – while expecting God’s results.\nOne of the most interesting things about Jesus’ teaching is the fact that He often compared the world’s focus with the focus of the King and His Kingdom. What strikes us is how very different God’s view is from the world’s view – and how diametrically opposed the world’s approach is, to God’s approach.\nThe problem lies in the fact that we have all been conditioned to act and react in accord with the world’s point of view. Our default mode is to do things the world’s way and expect results (in the Kingdom) according to how things get done in the world.\nJesus came to tell us a better way. He came to show us that better way. And He came to get us in “on the ground floor” of how things work in the Kingdom of God.\nThe very essence of true Christian living is doing things God’s way, in accord with God’s viewpoint, and having the faith to trust that God is doing what only God can do. Even if we cannot see it happening. Even if we never see it happening.\nNot surprisingly, God’s definition of success is also very different from the world’s.\nThe world tells us to follow our hearts. Chase our dreams – with dogged determination.\nAnd if we will work hard enough, and long enough, and “refuse to lose,” we will get the positive results that we are seeking. Get a purpose… and pursue it with passion – and we will reap all the rewards of our perseverance.\nBut… God tells us that our hearts will deceive us (Jeremiah 17:9). Our dreams are almost always self-centered. And all our efforts can only produce human results.\nAs Christ-followers, we are actually called to get “a hold” on God’s Heart. Define our dreams by His purpose for us. And live our lives as an expression of our trust in Him. All the rest is up to God. It is HIS work that defines success. And He is the One solely responsible for the results He desires.\nThis is such a hard lesson for us. We want to see immediate results to our efforts – and if we cannot measure our successes, we can so easily get discouraged, disappointed, and defeated in our relationship with God.\nLast time I checked… discouragement, disappointment, and defeat are NOT fruits of the Spirit! They are direct indicators that we have shifted our focus from God’s way, back to the world’s way – and that we are expecting God to respond, by honoring our desires and efforts.\nWe all know this… the Kingdom of God is built on faithfulness. Our faithful trust in God. God’s faithfulness to respond to our trust.\nBut that does not mean we will see immediate… or even miraculous results.\nIt means we are called to do our part… and trust that God is doing His. In His way. In His timing.\nHis part is what brings the results. The successes. And His results and successes are measured by eternal standards.\nResults and successes we may never know about until we get to the other side…\n"}

The mountain got darker, but between the snow and the light of the half moon, I didn’t bother with my headlamp. The trail was well packed all the way, thankfully no treeline post-holing and snow-wading this time around.\nI turned my headlamp on at the summit, and Alex messaged that he could see me. A quick glance down to the warm orange glow of Canmore, nestled between the mountains, then back down again, looking out west to the last glow of pink on the clouds, up to the warm orange glow behind me, to the half moon casting my shadow onto the snowy slope, and to the trail, always keeping an eye on that slippery snowy trail.\nI made good time on the descent, and convinced my legs into a tired jog trot to get home for dinner.

The small pores and the Lewis basic sites within the desolvated Y-H3TDPAT have improved the affinity for C2H2 and CO2 which has been revealed in their large isosteric heats of adsorption (38.2 and 30.9 kJ mol−1). In addition, highly selective separation of C2H2/CH4 and CO2/CH4 at room temperature makes Y-H3TDPAT possess a potential application in natural gas purification."}

{"text": "Easy-to-follow video tutorials help you learn software, creative, and business skills.Become a member\nPerhaps, the most common first thing that a teacher wants to do inside of the Moodle course is to post their course syllabi, and that's what we are going to do right now. The first thing you want to do is make sure that editing is turned on, so make sure you have hit the little button here in the upper right-hand corner, and then up here in the Header block, go ahead and click on the dropdown for Add a resource. And the first item here is File, so go ahead and select File and this will bring up the Add a file page inside of Moodle. We will give this file a name--in this case we are just going to type in \"Syllabus\"--and under the Description, we are going to go ahead and just type in \"The course syllabus.\" Go ahead and scroll on down a little bit further and under the Content section, hit the button for Add.\nThis is going to take us to our standard File picker inside of Moodle, and we are on the Upload a file link, and we are going to come over here to the attachment, hit the Browse button, and inside of the Chapter 02, exercise files we have got a copy of the Syllabus.doc. If you have syllabi in a newer format, either a DOCX or a PDF file or any of those other formats, those will be just fine as well. We will go ahead and just select our syllabus and hit the Open button. And we have all the rest of information set up properly here.\nWe will just go ahead and hit the Upload this file button, and we can see the file is posted right here inside of Content area. Let's go ahead and scroll on down a little bit. In the Options section, the first option is Display > Automatic. When we click that dropdown menu there are a couple of choices available to us: Embed, Force download, Open, or In pop-up. I'd suggest we go ahead leave this to Automatic; the Moodle developers have done a great job of making this Automatic feature work very well, so when a user clicks on the link for your syllabus, depending on how their machine is set up, it will either open directly in the browser, or it will download that file directly onto their computer.\nNow we don't need to display the resource name, but we are going to leave the Display resource description checked. Go ahead and scroll down a little bit further, and we've got the Common module settings. For Visibility, we want to go ahead and leave this set to Show. Your two options are Show and Hide, and if you were building content ahead of when your students were going to be looking at it and you don't want them to quite see it yet, but they're in your course and they are already working with the material, you can go in here and you can hide specific content and then come back into the Edit feature and show it back to them later.\nIn this case with the course syllabi we want to have that visible all the time, so we will leave that to show. We are going ignore the ID number for right now. Go ahead and click the Save and return to course, and there we go. We are taken back into our course, and if we scroll up just a little bit, we can see how this all looks together. We've got our header graphic, and we have our News forum here that we are going to go into in the future movie, and underneath that we have our syllabus. I'd like to have my syllabi be the very first item that's available to my students directly under the header graphic, but Moodle has gone ahead and it's put it down here below the News forum.\nWell, it's very easy to do. If we look at this very first icon here, just to the right of the word Syllabus we have a little crosshairs arrow. We can click and drag that. We are going to drag it just up above the News forum and drop it in place, and now we've been able to reorder these items. To see what your students would see, we will just come on up here to the upper right and click the button for Turn editing off, and that's what your students would see when they come into your class. They get the nice header graphic here and a link to the syllabi, and they can click on that link to the syllabi and their browser is going to automatically try and download and open that file for them.\nThat's exactly what we."}

{"text": "Dft equation\nHow do you calculate DFT?\nThe DFT formula for X k X_k Xk is simply that X k = x ⋅ v k , X_k = x cdot v_k, Xk=x⋅vk, where x x x is the vector ( x 0 , x 1 , … , x N − 1 ) .\nWhat is DFT?\nThe DFT is one of the most powerful tools in digital signal processing which enables us to find the spectrum of a finite-duration signal. There are many circumstances in which we need to determine the frequency content of a time-domain signal. This can be achieved by the discrete Fourier transform (DFT).\nWhat is DFT in DSP?\n< Digital Signal Processing. Digital Signal Processing. As the name implies, the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) is purely discrete: discrete-time data sets are converted into a discrete-frequency representation. This is in contrast to the DTFT that uses discrete time, but converts to continuous frequency.\nHow does a DFT work?\nIn mathematics, the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) converts a finite sequence of equally-spaced samples of a function into a same-length sequence of equally-spaced samples of the discrete-time Fourier transform (DTFT), which is a complex-valued function of frequency.\nWhere is DFT used?\nFirst, the DFT can calculate a signal’s frequency spectrum. This is a direct examination of information encoded in the frequency, phase, and amplitude of the component sinusoids. For example, human speech and hearing use signals with this type of encoding.\nWhat is DFT and its properties?\nThe DFT has a number of important properties relating time and frequency, including shift, circular convolution, multiplication, time-reversal and conjugation properties, as well as Parseval’s theorem equating time and frequency energy.\nWhat is DFT check?\nDry film thickness (DFT) or coating thickness is arguably the single most important measurement made during the application and inspection of protective coatings. Coatings are designed to perform their intended function when applied within the DFT range as specified by the manufacturer.\nWhat does DFT mean in Snapchat?\nDeal Fell Through\nWhat is DFT in manufacturing?\nDesign for testing or design for testability (DFT) consists of IC design techniques that add testability features to a hardware product design. The purpose of manufacturing tests is to validate that the product hardware contains no manufacturing defects that could adversely affect the product’s correct functioning.\nWhat is difference between DFT and FFT?\nDiscrete Fourier Transform, or simply referred to as DFT, is the algorithm that transforms the time domain signals to the frequency domain components. Fast Fourier Transform, or FFT, is a computational algorithm that reduces the computing time and complexity of large transforms.\nWhat is difference between DFT and Idft?\nDFT takes a finite length sequence and maps it onto a finite length discrete frequency basis. DTFT takes an arbitrary length(finite or infinite) sequence and maps it onto a continuous frequency basis stretching from zero to (But only half of this frequency range is unique.\nWhat is FFT in DSP?.\nWhy Fourier analysis is used?."}

{"text": "J.\nJuliet has been teaching for four years, having left a career in banking to further her passion for children and books!\nI have been using Book Creator in my classroom for the past three years. It is an absolute “go-to” app for me!\nWhat’s YOUR Genius? What makes you special?\nOur first term together this year saw my class ‘Six Team’ and I exploring the things that make us special. Over the past couple of years, I have been tremendously inspired by Angela Maiers and the Choose to Matter movement.\nCHECK IT OUT! Students Owning Their Genius #Choose2matter @bookcreatorapp pic.twitter.com/JxskOWeDRX #Priceless\n— Angela Maiers (@AngelaMaiers) February 23, 2014\nI am passionate about building self-esteem in my kids, and this philosophy has become a pillar of my classroom. I will never forget the moment when the significance of the two simple words I was telling my class really resonated with me. I remember I was having a really bad day, no doubt looking downcast and feeling stressed.\nA little voice said to me “You Matter, Miss Revell.” Wow. This beautiful child, with her big brown eyes suddenly made everything better. She’d got it. She’d listened. And I needed to listen to her.\nWith my new class this year, I explored ‘Genius’. Who and what is that? Who has it? How do you get it? Why do you want it? We talked about Albert Einstein. Some of the children thought that he looked a little bit scary, but many of them had heard the name “Einstein” from a television show.\nI used the examples that I had found from a teacher in Iowa, Mrs Sigler. Their slideshow was utterly delightful, and provided exemplars for my kids to start thinking about their own unique genius.\nSo what IS a genius?\nWe explored that genius means being very brainy, having natural talent, being creative, using your imagination and showing dazzling skills.\nWe initially planned and wrote about our genius in our books, but it was when the children began to use Book Creator to publish and enhance their writing that their enthusiasm built to a whole new level.\nBook Creator is a foundation app in my Year 2 classroom. The children are in their second year at school, and are now individually between six and seven years old. I modelled and shared with the kids how to create their individual books as a whole class, projecting my iPad using Apple TV. There was much hilarity when I demonstrated how to take a selfie!\nThe children love that they can individualise their books in so many ways. You will see that they have chosen their own colours, text and backgrounds. They choose the picture that they want to embed with the text, and whether or not that is a picture of them or one that they have drawn and uploaded.\nThe beauty of the app for six year olds is its simplicity. The kids learn easily how to edit their text, and they can re-craft their writing with a simple tap.\nSee the children’s efforts below:\nA reluctant writer finds his voice\nIt is particularly important for me to let you know that Book Creator significantly improved the volume of writing that one of my boys produced. A reluctant writer, he really seemed to find his voice using this tool.\nHis shyness did not hinder him from proclaiming his genius into the (video) camera. It was thrilling to see that he wrote, and completed an entire book. He was then able to share this with his parents and our class.\nBook Creator gives him more ways to communicate and literally bring ‘voice’ to his story. I am looking forward to seeing what his next project brings!\nSharing our book on the class blog\nThe final stage (in this part of the journey) was to share the children’s books on our class blog. We also shared our learning in our school’s assembly, so for that purpose I dropped a few of the children’s books into iMovie, and showed some sections using that platform.\n>> Ideas for sharing your book on a class blog\nThanks for the opportunity to share, Book Creator Team. Keep updating, we love your using your tool for learning!\nJuliet Revell\nYear 2 Teacher, Mahora School\nHastings, New Zealand\nmahora6.blogspot.co.nz\n@Juliet_Revell\nTrackbacks/Pingbacks\n[…] Juliet Revell explored the concept of 'Genius' with her class, and they showed theirs by creating ebooks on their iPads!

{"text": "This may seem a little redundant, seeing as how I already participated in Erin’s blog hop for SewHome, BUT I had to talk about the really unique Picnic Blanket (Quilt) that I also had the opportunity to work on for the book.\nI can’t stop thinking about how unique and practical the projects are in Erin Schlosser’s new book. For real, y’all. I’ve bought fabric and supplies to make my top 6 favorite projects in the book (who knows when I’ll have time to do it!!!).\nSo, this is the Lemon Slice Picnic Blanket, and it is too cool for school! The ingenious part is that the backing is with laminated cotton–so you don’t have to worry about getting grass stains on the back of it. Erin asked me to quilt this for the book, and it was so much fun to do. I just had to share this and, if I’m being honest, don’t be surprised if there are more posts from Erin’s book in the future."}

{"text": "Let’s take an extremely close look at what is in the Top 5 “foods” that you and your family consume.\nGo back to the Dirty 30 & put a STAR by the TOP 5 items consumed by you and your family.\nSTEP 1: Pull the family together – the children should have their phones\nSTEP 2: List the TOP 5 ”foods” that you and your family consume (from the Dirty 30), on the The Dirty 30 Top 5 sheet\nOnce you have them listed,\nSTEP 3: List the ingredients from the labels for each “food” item\nSTEP 4: Do an Internet search for each one of the ingredients to find out EXACTLY what they are. If you have children, allow them to do the search and read aloud what they find.\nDiscuss the ingredients. Here are some questions that can guide the discussion:\n- How many different added sugars are listed?\n- Is this ingredient a chemical? If so what is it used for and what other products is it in?\n- Would you eat the ingredient by itself (not in any “food” item)? Why or why not?\n- What can you replace this “food” item with that omits this ingredient?\n- Are you willing to omit or try something different?\nLet discussion morph, as it will. Encourage your children to offer their opinions freely.\nEnjoy the discussion and realize that you are allowing them to shape their eating habits instead of forcing new habits onto them\nPlus, you should be making great memories.\nSTEP 5: Celebrate your success of completing this task.\nShare your experience and great comments by your children in the FB Group using #TopFiveDiscussion\nDon’t forget to celebrate after you have completed this task! The celebration is just as important as completing the task!"}

{"text": "Changes in the EUR/USD exchange rate can be predicted using news sentiment, according to researchers at the University of Zurich.\nMatthias Uhl found that by applying the theory of frequency filtering to financial asset pricing theory, a trading strategy can be developed based on price momentum and news sentiment.\nA trading strategy was tested from December 2004 and December 2014 based on price momentum and news sentiment in order to compare the two. Over the ten year period, the mean return per year for the momentum strategies was around 4%, with an annual volatility of 10%. The information ratio sets the returns in relation to the volatility and these were around 0.4.\nThe mean returns per year for the news sentiment strategies based on news sentiment were on average between 5% and 9%. That is double the returns of the strategies based on price momentum. The annual volatility is similar at 9.9%, but the maximum drawdowns were lower than for price momentum. Given similar volatility and almost double annual returns, the information ratios are also roughly twice as high as for price momentum, ranging from 0.5 to 0.9.\nThis article will shortly appear in the Journal of Behavioral Finance. More information can be found here."}

Jeffrey Dean Morgan told EW after the airing that he didn’t know what his scene would really look like until he saw it.\n.”\nMorgan may be implying he was just pointing at a camera, and he assumed reaction shots from the person’s face would be spliced in later. It didn’t turn out that way.\nNegan’s backstory has yet to be revealed, and Kirkman is actually working on this at the moment for a future comic. Morgan didn’t know if that backstory would be completed in time for a Season 7 episode. But he did reveal what he thinks Negan might have been like in the past, and how he slips into character….\n“I think the backstory of Negan is that he used to be a used car salesman.
