how come the market is doing badly with record stock buybacks | The stock market has been on a pretty steady uphill climb for years until about September of this year. Those stock buybacks that you mentioned were one of the reasons that the stock market continued to go up even when other factors would predict that it would level out or go down. These factors include rising interest rates and near full employment. But, starting in September we had events that the markets simply couldn't ignore. The big one that started it was President Trump's trade war with much of the world and China in particular. The two largest economies preparing for an all out trade war is really bad for business and the markets reacted accordingly. The continued political uncertainty in the US, combined with threats of a government shutdown have continued to push markets lower. | eli5 |

Huqoq | Huqoq or Hukkok () was an ancient Jewish village, located 12.5 km north of Tiberias.
The area had been settled since ancient times and is mentioned in the Book of Joshua. The Palestinian village Yaquq was built at Huqoq's location, and a kibbutz named Hukok was established near the site on 11 July 1945.
History
Name evolution
The Canaanites called it Hukkok, and during the Roman period it was known as Hucuca. The name of the Arab village at the presumed site of biblical Hukkok was Yaquq.
Archaeological and historical periods
Archaeological investigations at the site of the former village of Yaquq, located near the Sea of Galilee, 12.5 km north of Tiberias, uphill from Capernaum and Magdala, suggest that the site was inhabited in the Iron Age, Persian, Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, Abbasid, Fatimid, Mamluk and Ottoman periods. The Arab village of Yakuk was abandoned during the 1948 war and was bulldozed in 1968.
In the Hebrew Bible (Book of Joshua)
Hukkok (Hebrew חקק) is mentioned in the Hebrew Bible in . The International Standard Bible Encyclopaedia considers the identification of Hukkok with Yakuk as plausible, although it might be too far from Aznoth-tabor (possibly Khirbet el-Jebeil, c. 3 miles north of Mout Tabor) to fit the description.
Bronze Age
The village site was inhabited in the Early and Middle Bronze Age.
Roman and Byzantine periods
The Roman period village was large and prosperous due to the presence of a constant spring. It is apparent from both the synagogue and the absence of pig bones that the Roman period village was Jewish.
The village is attested in Late Roman and Byzantine period rabbinic sources.
Ottoman period
The prosperity of the ancient village contrasts with the simplicity of the Ottoman-era settlement and can be seen by archaeologists in animal bones which were cut by professional butchers in the ancient Jewish village, and by farmers in the Muslim period.
Archaeology
A 2011 dig led by archaeologist Jodi Magness excavated several sections at the site of the former village.
"The ancient village is surrounded by associated features, including cist graves, rock-cut tombs, a mausoleum, quarries, agricultural terraces and installations, a winepress and an olive press. Two large miqwa'ot (ritual baths) are hewn into bedrock on the eastern and southern periphery of the ancient village (see below)."
Ancient synagogue
Among the structures uncovered during the 2012 dig were the remains of an elaborate synagogue, dated to the 5th century. Findings include limestone carvings and an elaborate floor mosaic. The synagogue's walls and columns were painted in bright colors: plaster fragments show traces of pink, red, orange and white pigments. The artistry of the mosaic, which is composed of tiny tiles, together with the large stones used for the walls, attests to the prosperity of the village.
Mosaic iconography
The mosaic includes of the Biblical hero Samson. The figure of Samson appears twice: carrying the gates of Gaza, and tying burning torches to the tails of foxes. Samson and the foxes is an episode from the Book of Judges (). During a battle with the Philistines, Samson catches 300 wild foxes, ties burning torches to their tails and sets them loose to set fire to Philistine grain fields.
According to archaeologist Jodi Magness, the discovery is significant because "only a small number of ancient (Late Roman) synagogue buildings are decorated with mosaics showing biblical scenes, and only two others have scenes with Samson (one is at another site just a couple of miles from Huqoq)."
The mosaic also shows two human faces, apparently female, flanking a Hebrew inscription promising a reward to those who perform good deeds. In 2018, photographs of newly discovered mosaics were published in conjunction with a 70-page interim report of the excavations from 2014–2017. The new publication shows that the floor mosaic also depicts Noah's Ark, the twelve Israelite spies (), and Moses' parting of the Red Sea, themes that are rarely, if ever, found in synagogues of the time. Other images show Jonah being swallowed by the fish and the building of the Tower of Babel. The mosaic also incorporates pagan Hellenistic images such as cupids and theatre masks, and an obscure cluster of important looking men, one of whom may be Alexander the Great, next to soldiers and war elephants. If Magness' theory is correct, this would be the only case of a synagogue being decorated with non-Biblical imagery. Another theory is that the two groups, one dressed in armour and the other in white robes, represent the alliance between the Seleucids and the high priest John Hyrcanus.
Tomb of Habakkuk
Jewish, Christian, Druze and Muslim tradition located the tomb of the prophet Habakkuk in Huqoq and it has been a site of pilgrimage since the twelfth century. The earliest mention of the tomb is a letter written by Rabbi Samuel ben Samson in 1210: "On our way back from Tiberias we went on to Kefar Hanan. In journeying there we came across the tomb of Habakkuk in Kefar Hukkok." In 1215 Menahem ben Perez of Hebron visited the site and wrote: "And I went from there, and saw the tomb of the prophet Habakkuk near a spring." The earliest detailed description appears in the book "These are the Travels" (1270–1291): "From there one goes to Ya‘aquq, where is the grave of the prophet Habakkuk, upon which there is a fine monument between four party walls."
An Englishmen named John Sanderson visited the tomb in 1601 and wrote "Then we passed by a little village where dwelt and is buried the prophet Abicoke; so said the Jews, and that the town was called Yeacoke."
A description from the 1930s states that "The tombstone. . . is built of basalt stones, about two metres wide and
1.5 metres long, covered in white plaster".
In 1981 the old tombstone was replaced by a new one, over which a small building was erected, along with a pool filled by spring water and meant to be used as a ritual bath. Jewish and Druze pilgrims continue to visit the tomb.
Seffi Ben Yosef, a local tour guide, questioned the tradition in an editorial in Ynet News, arguing that the tradition was only based on the similar-sounding name between the village and the prophet.

Grado SR80i or Marshall Major for portable use? | Hello /r/headphones
I need help deciding on a pair of headphones for portable use.
**Budget**: ca. 200 $

**Isolation**: I don't need a lot of isolation, since I will need them for biking in the city, while taking public transportation (I mostly sit in Silent Areas) and when reading in the garden. I will use them at least 2-3 hours a day and for a one hour period a time.
At the moment I'm using the standard Apple earbuds. But i forgot them in my pocket while washing so they are done for. Usually I will carry my headphones in my backpack or hanging on a fanny pack (which i carry across my shoulder, like this ignore the ugly hair, the picture is from google So the headphones should not be fragile.
I narrowed my search down to Grado SR80i or Marshall Major, based on rewievs and design. But you're welcome to suggest something else.
Which headphones do you recommend I choose to buy?
BTW: I live in Scandinavia, but will be travelling to L.A. and NYC for the entire summer, so where would you also recommend I buy them?

A study on the effective hydraulic conductivity of an anisotropie porous medium | Effective hydraulic conductivity of a statistically anisotropic heterogeneous medium is obtained for steady two-dimensional flows employing stochastic analysis. Flow equations are solved up to second order and the effective conductivity is obtained in a semi-analytic form depending only on the spatial correlation function and the anisotropy ratio of the hydraulic conductivity field, hence becoming a true intrinsic property independent of the flow field. Results are obtained using a statistically anisotropic Gaussian correlation function where the anisotropy is defined as the ratio of integral scales normal and parallel to the mean flow direction. Second order results indicate that the effective conductivity of an anisotropic medium is greater than that of an isotropic one when the anisotropy ratio is less than one and vice versa. It is also found that the effective conductivity has upper and lower bounds of the arithmetic and the harmonic mean conductivities. | s2orc_title_abstract |
Understanding changes in ontogenetic development is central to the study of human evolution. With the exception of Neanderthals, the growth patterns of fossil hominins have not been studied comprehensively because the fossil record currently lacks specimens that document both cranial and postcranial development at young ontogenetic stages. Here we describe a well-preserved 3.3-million-year-old juvenile partial skeleton of Australopithecus afarensis discovered in the Dikika research area of Ethiopia. The skull of the approximately three-year-old presumed female shows that most features diagnostic of the species are evident even at this early stage of development. The find includes many previously unknown skeletal elements from the Pliocene hominin record, including a hyoid bone that has a typical African ape morphology. The foot and other evidence from the lower limb provide clear evidence for bipedal locomotion, but the gorilla-like scapula and long and curved manual phalanges raise new questions about the importance of arboreal behaviour in the A. afarensis locomotor repertoire. | Recent discoveries of multiple middle Pliocene hominins have raised the possibility that early hominins were as speciose as later hominins. However, debates continue to arise around the validity of most of these new taxa, largely based on poor preservation of holotype specimens, small sample size, or the lack of evidence for ecological diversity. A closer look at the currently available fossil evidence from Ethiopia, Kenya, and Chad indicate that Australopithecus afarensis was not the only hominin species during the middle Pliocene, and that there were other species clearly distinguishable from it by their locomotor adaptation and diet. Although there is no doubt that the presence of multiple species during the middle Pliocene opens new windows into our evolutionary past, it also complicates our understanding of early hominin taxonomy and phylogenetic relationships. | s2orc_abstract_citation |

Conventional algorithms for apparent age estimation make a strong assumption that the wisdom of crowds (i.e. the mean value of inconsistently annotated age labels) is superior to any individual. In this paper, we go beyond such an assumption and instead of averaging to remove label uncertainty we cope with label uncertainty in training by introducing a new concept of uncertainty coding. Uncertainty coding encodes multiple unary apparent age labels into a binary vector indicating age range (uncertainty) in the target space. We traverse through convolutional features and architecture to learn deep uncertainty mapping, whose predicted codes as mid-level features are fed into the second layer regressor that outputs a target prediction. We conduct experiments on the ChaLearn and FG-NET benchmarks to demonstrate superior performance of the proposed deep uncertainty coding to the state-of-the-arts. | This work describes our solution in the second edition of the ChaLearn LAP competition on Apparent Age Estimation. Starting from a pretrained version of the VGG-16 convolutional neural network for face recognition, we train it on the huge IMDB-Wiki dataset for biological age estimation and then fine-tune it for apparent age estimation using the relatively small competition dataset. We show that the precise age estimation of children is the cornerstone of the competition. Therefore, we integrate a separate "children" VGG-16 network for apparent age estimation of children between 0 and 12 years old in our final solution. The "children" network is fine-tuned from the "general" one. We employ different age encoding strategies for training "general" and "children" networks: the soft one (label distribution encoding) for the "general" network and the strict one (0/1 classification encoding) for the "children" network. Finally, we highlight the importance of the state-of-the-art face detection and face alignment for the final apparent age estimation. Our resulting solution wins the 1st place in the competition significantly outperforming the runner-up. | s2orc_abstract_citation |

Dyrøy | Dyrøy () is a municipality in Troms og Finnmark county, Norway. The administrative centre of the municipality is the village of Brøstadbotn. Other villages include Dyrøyhamn, Espenes, Holm, and Hundstrand.
The municipality is the 270th largest by area out of the 356 municipalities in Norway. Dyrøy is the 329th most populous municipality in Norway with a population of 1,083. The municipality's population density is and its population has decreased by 12.2% over the last decade.
The municipality is named after the island of Dyrøya, which is connected with the mainland with the modern Dyrøy Bridge. Most people, however, don't live on the island, but live in Brøstadbotn on the mainland.
General information
The municipality of Dyrøy was established on 1 September 1886, when it was separated from the municipality of Tranøy. The initial population of Dyrøy was 1,281. During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1964, the parts of Tranøy Municipality located on the mainland (population: 382) were transferred to Dyrøy.
On 1 January 2020, the municipality became part of the newly formed Troms og Finnmark county. Previously, it had been part of the old Troms county.
Name
The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the island of Dyrøya (Old Norse: Dýrøy), since the first Dyrøy Church was built there. The first element is dýr which means "deer" (specifically reindeer) and the last element is øy which means "island". Prior to 1909, the name was written Dyrø.
Coat of arms
The coat of arms is from modern times; they were granted on 4 April 1986. The blue arms show a white fox, specifically a so-called platinum-fox, a typical type of the silver polar fox. This type of fox is first bred in the area around Dyrøy and was first shown in 1933.
Churches
The Church of Norway has one parish (sokn) within the municipality of Dyrøy. It is part of the Senja prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Nord-Hålogaland.
Geography
The municipality is located on the island of Dyrøya and the mainland area to the east, with the Dyrøy Bridge connecting the island to the mainland. The Vågsfjorden, Tranøyfjorden, and Solbergfjorden flow along the western and northern border of the municipality.
The municipality is mountainous with a narrow beach area along the coast. On the mainland, the Bjørkebakkdalen valley leads south from the municipal center Brøstadbotn. The municipality has several peaks over , the highest being the tall Løksetind on the border with Salangen in the south.
Climate
Government
All municipalities in Norway, including Dyrøy, are responsible for primary education (through 10th grade), outpatient health services, senior citizen services, unemployment and other social services, zoning, economic development, and municipal roads. The municipality is governed by a municipal council of elected representatives, which in turn elect a mayor. The municipality falls under the Senja District Court and the Hålogaland Court of Appeal.
Municipal council
The municipal council of Dyrøy is made up of 15 representatives that are elected to four year terms. The party breakdown of the council is as follows:

They've done a decent job of developing a product line that it's easy to recognize, and the cases have always held up for me so far (this hasn't seen much abuse yet). The stripe is kind of a nice touch, but other than that this doesn't really have anything special to recommend it. No auto wake/sleep, no extreme levels of protection or anything. It seems like they're asking an awful lot for a case that's a lot like some of their smaller versions, but bigger. It doesn't seem like it's received any special thought or attention to justify the price tag.
Still, as I said, it's not terrible. It's pretty standard Belkin. I've grown to like their cases overall, but there's nothing about this one that would make me seek it out deliberately. | amazon_reviews |
Should I buy my boyfriend of 5 months a 3DS right now for his birthday in October? | So, my boyfriend is a huge Nintendo fan, and has been talking about getting a 3DS for some time now, he got especially excited when we learned about the ambassador thing. However, after a bit more thought he completely dropped the idea thinking it was too expensive and that he should wait for the price drop, or even a newer model (or limited edition version!) to get one. His birthday is not for 2 months but I just found out that if I buy one today not only can I get the 20 free games (if I register it of course) I can get the reduced priced version that isn't supposed to come out until tomorrow. I really want to do this for him, but I'm not sure how to stop him from buying one for himself without letting on any hints. Also, I'm worried he may be disappointed when a newer version does eventually come out that he didn't wait until then? Any thoughts?
EDIT: also... I only stressed the 5 months thing because this is the first gift I've gotten him, and money is sort of tight right now, so I'm not sure if I should go so 'big' for the first gift giving occasion in our relationship, as it would be hard to outdo myself later | reddit_title_body |

[NSV] I am able to be in control of my life more. | Hey all. I've been on keto for six days now and I just wanna put it out there that I'm really thankful for r/keto.
I was diagnosed bipolar type II, and because of the medication I'm taking (Seroquel) I have gained weight on top of high triglycerides and my thyroid was wacked out. Not on those, but I also used to binge eat on carbs when my mood went down.
After six days of keto now I know I can control those cravings, and not only that I'm able to have a little control of my moods. Before, it was easy for me to lash out if something was aggravating me. Now, I am able to step outside the box and think about before lashing out. It may seem like nothing, but for me who always felt that my life was driven by my disorder it is a huge victory.
I haven't stepped on the scale yet, but just knowing that I can in fact be in control of my own life means a lot for me. | reddit_title_body |

Managing the learning and work of new information technology users. | The information technology revolution has transformed work from modest-paced serial processes to complex, fast-paced networked ones that depend not only on the technology but also on skilled and effective users of the technology. This evolution has woven a complex quilt of interdependencies among new information technologies, new users of those technologies, new skills required, new information management policies and procedures, and new opportunities. We must impose a new structure for managing the learning and work of new users, their tolerance of complexity and continuous learning, value-added usability, minimization of human error, and new support services for deployment, administration, and help. | s2orc_title_abstract |

Not GoldenRod quality, generic rebranding | Shame on GoldenRod for stamping their name on a cheap chinese product. GoldenRod is THE name for safe humidity control, but this item is disgraceful. 1) After 48 hours after several resets, the main temperature is stil an error. 2) The humidity gauges read 20% different even when next to each other. 3) Very, VERY poorly build. Very sloppy spray painting and overstamping of previous generic. 4) Magnet/Battery door won't stay closed.
I would love for GoldenRod to make a remote hygrometer, but pick a sturdy, reliable vendor that compliments your product line. I would have happily paid twice the price given the GoldenRod brand and would have been satisfied with a basic, reliable unit. | amazon_reviews |

A finite strain SMA constitutive model: comparison of small and finite strain formulations | In this paper, we investigate the finite strain formulation of a previously proposed model for shape memory alloys in the small strain regime. The derivation is based on the multiplicative decomposition of the deformation gradient into elastic and transformation parts and utilizing the thermodynamics of irreversible process with internal variables. Some boundary value problems are considered to compare the effects of finite deformation in shape memory alloys-based structures. Finally we discuss on the limitation of small-strain based constitutive models in simulating shape memory alloy devices. | s2orc_title_abstract |

Erik Hornung | Erik Hornung (born 1933) is an Egyptologist and one of the most influential modern writers on ancient Egyptian religion. He is Professor Emeritus of Basel University.
Biography
Hornung was born in Riga, Latvia in 1933 and gained his PH.D. at the University of Tübingen in 1956. He was Professor of Egyptology at the University of Basel from 1967 to 1998. His main research field has been funerary literature, the Valley of the Kings in particular. He published the first edition of the Book of Amduat in three volumes between 1963 and 1967. J. Gwyn Griffiths described Hornung as the foremost authority in such literature. His book Conceptions of God in Ancient Egypt, The One and the Many has become his best-known work, in which he concludes, whilst acknowledging previous work by Henri Frankfort and his "multiplicity of approaches" and John A. Wilson's "complementary" treatment of Egyptian modes of thought, that "Anyone who takes history seriously will not accept a single method as definitive; the same should be true of anyone who takes belief seriously". Hornung became Vice-President of the Society of the Friends of the Royal Tombs of Egypt in 1988. His books have been published in German, but many have been translated into English.
