Collision insurance coverage, also referred to as upset coverage, provides you with protection when your vehicle is involved in a traffic accident. It applies to accidents with other vehicles and with stationary objects (single vehicle accidents).
Collision insurance coverage is applicable to most car accidents, and it provides coverage for vehicle repairs, or replacement of your vehicle if it is a write off. Your liability insurance covers the cost of damage to other vehicles and property damaged in the accident.
While it sounds like a standard form of insurance coverage that is included in your policy, collision coverage is NOT mandatory, but it is recommended, especially if you have a newer vehicle.
What Does Collision Insurance In Ontario Cover?
This coverage pays for losses caused when an insured vehicle is involved in a collision with another object, including another vehicle, or rolls over. ”Object" includes: another vehicle or a trailer that is attached to the vehicle that is covered by your insurance policy; the surface of the ground, and any object in or on the ground, says FSCO.
A collision with another vehicle.
Another vehicle colliding with your vehicle.
A hit and run collision if the incident is reported to the police.
Colliding into a road sign, a street light, the ground, an embankment, or other stationary object.
What Is NOT Covered by Collision Insurance?
Collision coverage does not provide coverage if an object hits your vehicle, such as a tree falling on your vehicle during a storm. This is covered by comprehensive coverage. Upset coverage only applies when your vehicle hits another car or object.
What Is a Collision Deductible?
A collision deductible is a mandatory part of collision coverage. As with standard auto insurance, you can choose the deductible amount. The higher the collision insurance deductible you choose, the lower the cost for your premium. Some insurance companies may require a minimum deductible amount. Most insurers offer a $500 deductible for collision coverage.

10,001,601 | Car?
When to drop collision coverage is a common consideration for Ontario drivers. There are certain situations where collision coverage many not make financial sense. Often times, many drivers have too much auto insurance coverage, a reason to regularly assess your insurance and get a quote.
Collison Coverage for Older Cars – Is It Necessary?
The need for collision coverage when you have an older car is a much debated topic. Many drivers opt to skip collision coverage on older cars because the vehicle has little value or would not be worth repairing if it was in an accident.
Vehicle Value : What is the current value of your vehicle? Owners of older vehicles often don't get collision insurance because of the low value of their vehicle.
Coverage Amount : How much do you currently pay for collision insurance coverage annually?
Deductible Amount : How much is your collision coverage deductible?
Deductible Amount Compared To Vehicle Value : What is the difference between the deductible and value? Does it make sense to file a claim for your insurer to cover the cost of repairs?
Financial Situation : Can you handle taking on the costs if you didn’t have collision coverage?
Asking these questions and crunching the numbers is the only way to know for sure if it’s worth getting or dropping collision coverage on an older car.
What happens when you get in an accident? Does your collision coverage take care of the damages?
If you are involved in an at-fault accident and have collision insurance, you will be covered. Your coverage also typically covers for towing and storage. If you do NOT have collision insurance and are found to be at fault, you will not be covered.
If you are involved in an accident and are not at fault and do not have collision coverage, you are still covered by your insurance policy. Your deductible may also be waived.
If you are the victim of a hit and run by an unidentified third party, you will be covered by collision coverage. Without collision, you would not be covered.
How Much Is Collision Insurance?
So, how much does collision insurance cost? As mentioned above in the comprehensive insurance section, the cost of collision insurance varies based on your insurance provider and other factors – driving history, current value of your vehicle, and your collision deductible amount. If you have a clean driving record, the cost to add collision coverage to your policy could be minimal.

10,001,602 | collision and comprehensive insurance coverage. This is partly due to the fact that both coverages apply as a result of damage to your car. But each coverage protects you from different causes of the damage.
Collision insurance coverage offers protection for your car when you are involved in an accident with another vehicle or a stationary object. In other words, it provides you with protection against threats while you are driving and have some control over.
Comprehensive insurance coverage offers protection when your car has been damaged while it is parked, meaning it provides you with coverage for events that are out of your control.
In other words, comprehensive insurance covers more and different sources of damage to your vehicle than collision coverage. If you opt for comprehensive insurance coverage, make sure you understand what is covered in the policy.
Do You Need Collision And Comprehensive Insurance?
Again, this depends on your situation. If you have an older vehicle, then collision coverage may not be in your best interests. If you want to get the lowest rates possible, then having neither form of coverage may be what you want. It all comes down to your risk tolerance and ability to cover costs if you experience damage to your vehicle.
For many drivers, having both forms of coverage provides them with the peace of mind in knowing they are covered and financially protected from the majority of threats to their vehicle whether they are driving or if the car is parked.
If you decide you need both forms of coverage, you may want to consider all perils coverage – this coverage combines collision and comprehensive coverage.
For others, you may require a specific form of coverage. In this case a specified perils policy may be your best option.

10,001,605 | Produce a whimsical feel to your bracelet with this romantic charm featuring our favourite couple!
The incredible PANDORA Disney Mickey & Minnie Vintage Car (797174) charm is a perfect example of PANDORA’s attention to detail in creating lovable charms. PANDORA’s beautiful silver charms which are full of character are what originally attracted me to PANDORA and started me on my road to becoming a PANDORA collector (or addict!).
This year I have fallen even more in love with PANDORA and I have been delighted with each new collection and especially charmed by the new PANDORA x Disney jewellery. The PANDORA Disney Mickey & Minnie Vintage Car charm was released earlier this year as part of the PANDORA Disney Spring 2018 Collection.
With its sweet design and beautiful craftsmanship the PANDORA Disney Mickey & Minnie Vintage Car charm is a must have for every PANDORA x Disney collector. It seems that PANDORA are definitely listening to their fans too, as they are producing more plain, unembellished silver charms again. The Mickey & Minnie Vintage Car charm is pure silver and there are no enamel details or cubic zirconia stones.
One of the reasons I enjoy writing PANDORA reviews is because it allows me the opportunity to inspect each piece closely. The Mickey & Minnie Vintage Car includes an amazing amount of details such as the little ‘XOXO’ hugs and kisses on the number plate and Mickey’s gloved hands holding the steering wheel. It is good to see that he is a safe driver and is dutifully keeping his eyes on the road and his hands on the wheel despite Minnie’s attempts to distract!
Overall the PANDORA Disney Mickey & Minnie Vintage Car is quite a shiny silver but there is a fair amount of oxidisation around the interior of the car and Mickey and Minnie’s faces. Other than the car’s grill and its wheels, the Mickey & Minnie Vintage Car charm is relatively glossy and bright. In fact the car’s bonnet (or ‘hood’ for my American friends) glistens and shines as if it Mickey spent hours waxing and polishing it before his date with Minnie!

10,001,606 | ORA Disney Mickey & Minnie Vintage Car she is dressed to impress and she looks positively adorable wearing a sweet pillbox hat adorned with a pretty flower. Ever the lady, she is depicted snuggling up to Mickey with her hand on his arm and fluttering her eyelashes demurely.
The car isn’t the only vintage element on the PANDORA Disney Mickey & Minnie Vintage Car charm. Mickey and Minnie are portrayed as they originally appeared during the 1930’s, with a longer, pointer nose and slender limbs. Over the years both Mickey and Minnie Mouse have changed and evolved. Other than the nose the most noticeable difference is the eyes which were solid black ovals up until around 1940 when they changed to white eyes with black pupils.
From the back of the Mickey & Minnie Vintage Car charm it is possible to appreciate more aspects of the vintage car including it’s folded down roof and spare wheel. My husband would readily testify that I am no car expert but from my inexperienced eye and a google image search I believe the car is based on the 1934 model of the Ford Convertible Roadster. If it is then Mickey has fantastic taste in cars as it is almost as chic as my dream car the gorgeous Jaguar E-Type!
The PANDORA Disney Mickey & Minnie Vintage Car charm is a truly marvellous design with a wonderful romantic air. Viewing the charm from behind instils a warm fuzzy feeling of nostalgia and it’s as if I am watching an old black and white movie with the leading actors driving off together, happily ever after.
All of the hallmarks have been hidden on the bottom of the PANDORA Disney Mickey & Minnie Vintage Car charm. The standard ‘PANDORA’ ‘S925 ALE’ and ‘©Disney’ hallmarks are engraved the centre of the car’s chassis. The charm is a threaded charm and has a nice weighty feel of solid silver.
Mickey and Minnie Mouse are such a loving couple that enjoy spending time together. As many of their dates include trips out in various different cars it is apt that PANDORA created the PANDORA Disney Mickey & Minnie Vintage Car charm. For a little fun here is an overview of Mickey & Minnie’s car love history.
The illustrations above are incredibly similar to the PANDORA Disney Mickey & | [

10,001,607 | Minnie Vintage Car charm. The car is a similar style although the bonet appears slightly more rounded in the illustrations compared to the charm. Notice Minnie is wearing the same pillbox hat with a flower!
Mickey’s car appears to be having problems and Minnie doesn’t seem as relaxed on this outing. I guess Mickey isn’t used to driving on the wrong side of the road!
The above are taken from scenes of the Disney animation The Nifty Nineties (1941), where Mickey Mouse meets Minnie in the park and then takes her to a Vaudeville show.
In this illustration the shape of the car is a little different but once again Minnie is wearing her pillbox flower hat.
Mickey and Minnie still enjoy a quite drive out together although Minnie has updated her look a little and she now favours a bow over a hat.
My little Disney History lesson ends with this stunning Mickey and Minnie fabric! Featuring Mickey and Minnie traveling around Paris in their little red car with the Eiffel Tower in the background. This charming Vintage Scenes of Romance Mickey & Minnie Fabric would be super cute for a dress!
I know he's the one, when he makes me laugh.
My first styling of the the PANDORA Disney Mickey & Minnie Vintage Car charm has an Italian flavour with Mickey and Minnie representing my husband and I on our trip to Italy last year. The PANDORA Mesh Bracelet (596543) is ideal for this styling as the freedom of movement it provides between the charms is symbolic of travel. The quirky Red Scooter Dangle (791140EN42) sits at the centre with the Mickey & Minnie Vintage Car and Disney Pearlescent Mickey Silhouettes (791818MOP) charms at either side. The Disney Pearlescent Mickey Silhouettes charm is currently available for £35 in the outlet on the PANDORA UK eStore.
The trip through Italy continues with the Coffee Lovers (791514) and Gondola (791143CZ) dangle charms swinging at opposite each other. This trio of Italian themed charms are wonderful souvenirs to remember beautiful experiences in Milan, Florence and Venice.

I’m rocking the dots like Minnie, in my second styling with the PANDORA Disney Mickey & Minnie Vintage Car charm! Bright red Disney Minnie Signature Look Murano (791635) charms alternate with the fun Classic Minnie Murano (791634) charm on the Disney Moments Mickey Bracelet (590731CZ). The cute Disney Classic Minnie Murano charm, featuring a Minnie silhouette with her iconic bow, is currently available for just £15 on the PANDORA UK eStore outlet.
This fun Disney styling is filled with mouse ears! From the Pearlescent Mickey Silhouettes (791818MOP) charm to the two tone Limited Edition Mickey & Minnie Love Icon (796463CZ) charm. Little Mickey ears continue in the gorgeous glossy enamel PANDORA Disney Parks Playful Mickey and Mickey Mania charms. Plus there are tiny gold mouse ears on the two tone Disney Parks Carousel charm and sparkling ears on the bracelet clasp!
My final styling with the PANDORA Disney Mickey & Minnie Vintage Car charm is a more subtle approach to Disney. Once again I used the pretty Disney Moments Mickey Bracelet (590731CZ), but this time I kept to a pure silver design with an occasional dash of gold from the two tone charms. The majestic Disney Cinderella’s Pumpkin Coach (791573CZ) charm glitters at the centre of the ‘Happily Ever After’ design. Further touches of gold feature on the Limited Edition Mickey & Minnie Love Icon and the two tone Disney Parks Carousel charm.
Additional to Mickey and Minnie, this enchanting design includes another cute couple with the Donald (792136) and Daisy Duck Portrait (792137) charms. Other characters featured are the sweet Disney Parks Alice in a Teacup and the adorable Winnie the Pooh Portrait (791566) charm. Magical fancy sparkles throughout the bracelet with the radiant shimmering Disney Princess Crown (791580CZ) and the Illuminating Stars (796373CZ) button charm.

My verdict on the PANDORA Disney Mickey & Minnie Vintage Car charm? It's a classic!
Although I absolutely adore this charm I have knocked a few points off for Wow Factor and Value. The Mickey & Minnie Vintage Car charm has beautiful details but it is not necessarily an ‘Look at me!’ style charm. Although I fully appreciate the fantastic design of the charm I think it could have been priced a little lower, especially as it does not contain any extra material such as enamel or gem stones. Yet as a pure silver charm it is quite versatile for bracelet designs but it isn’t really suitable for necklace stylings.
In the UK the PANDORA Disney Mickey & Minnie Vintage Car Charm (797174) is £40 and is available from the PANDORA UK eStore.
Love love the vintage car! I own it and I would give it 10 stars. I use it in the center with our vintage initials, Mickey and Minnie, pearlescent, dots and limited and her bow. Rock the dots set and murano. Young and old can relate in different ways.
Your design sounds fantastic! I’d love to see a picture. If you are on Instagram could you post it with a #theartofpandora tag. Do you wear the scarf that came with the Rock the Dots set? It has such a cute retro look!
Thank you for reading and commenting. Have a magical weekend and continue to Rock the Dots!
I don’t collect Disney but I think Pandora have excelled themselves with the detail in this charm. Love your detailed review and your Italian design is beyond gorgeous.
They really have excelled themselves! I hope to see more charms with this type of detail in future PANDORA releases. Would you consider collecting PANDORA Disney if they produced a specific character? Or is there another PANDORA collaboration you would like to see?
I love the Disney Parks Minnie Shoe charm! It’s on my wish list for the future along with the Minnie Cupcake charm. | [

10,001,611 | In November 2013, Russian television aired eight episodes of Шерлок Холмс, translated as Sherlok Kholms. The series starred Igor Petrenk as Holmes as Andrei Panin as Watson. This would be Panin’s last acting role, as he died before production finished. Some of his lines had to be spliced in from other recordings or by another voice actor.
The first is the Second Anglo-Afghan War Medal.
Watson’s service in Afghanistan makes him eligible to receive the Afghanistan Medal, a 36mm round, silver medal (some examples are known in bronze), with a 33mm wide dark green ribbon with crimson on both edges. The medal hangs from a plain suspender that has a double toe claw to hold the medal.
A left-facing bust of Queen Victoria is on the obverse (or front) of the medal. The legend of VICTORIA REGINA ET IMPERATRIX is around the border of the design. This profile of Victoria was designed by Joseph Boehm.
The central design of the reverse (or back) of the medal features an elephant carrying a cannon, with soldiers, marching and on horseback Below this is the dates 1878-79-80. In the upper left, above the design, is the word AFGHANISTAN. This design was done by Randolph Caldecott, an illustrator of children’s books.
The medal was engraved by Leonard Wyon of the British Royal Mint.
The second decoration is the Kabul to Kandahar medal.
Measuring 62mm by 48mm, the medal is a five pointed star which is suspended by an imperial crown. Queen Victoria’s monogram is the central design, encircled with the words “KABVL TO KANDAHAR” and date of 1880. The reverse of the medal would be engraved with the recipient’s name and regiment assignment.
As we have discussed previously, I hold the theory that Watson was ineligible to receive this honor.
The third decoration on Watson’s uniform appears to be the Abyssinian War Medal.
A left-facing bust of Queen Victoria is on the obverse (or front) of the medal. A stylised border with indentations, with the letters spelling ABYSSINIA between the indentations. The reverse has a blank central shield, for | [

This 32mm silver medal was designed by Joseph and Alfred Wyon, and struck at the Royal Mint. This medal is unique in that the recipient’s name and unit were embossed on the reverse of the medal. This feature required that the dies for the reverse had to have a removable center so each recipient’s name and unit could be impressed, with each medal minted individually.
The medal is held by a suspension ring attached to a crown at the top of the medal. The medal hangs on a crimson, with white border, ribbon that is 38mm wide.
This medal was issued to British troops that participated in the 1868 Expedition to Abyssinia (Ethiopia) between October 4, 1867 and April 19, 1868. Approximately 14,000 medals were issued.
Since this action was 12 years prior to the Battle of Maiwand, it is highly unlikely that Watson would have been eligible to receive this campaign honor.
So it would appear that the producers of this series only got one of the three campaign medals correct. What do you think? | [

10,001,616 | When performing valuations based on multiples of publicly traded companies, choosing comparable peers is an often overlooked but important task.
When the valuated company is from the technology industry, the task becomes especially tricky. Technology companies operate in a complex business environment, with many layers of operation and innovation within. This means that the valuator must search through hundreds of companies to find the few comparables that are most suitable for the valuation.
But this leads to a question: Is the screening of an industry and specific sub-industry (as specified by Yahoo Finance for example) enough for finding the right comparables?
Let’s take a look at an example in order to answer this question.
In this example, the valuated technology company sells Performance Management Software as a Service (SaaS) to other companies.
Step 1 – Screening according to industry and sub-industry.
Step 2 – Finding peers with the description SaaS.
The following table shows the first three comparable companies found in AlgoValue.
As you can see, the EV/ Sales ratio range is quite high. In this case, it may suggest that the peers are not in the same field of operations.
Step 3 – Further research about the valuated company shows that it operates in the Software Performance Management segment. AlgoValue provides an appropriate response and solution for these types of scenarios: you can simply hover over the company name to open a tooltip with a detailed description of the company. In this example, we see that the only relevant peer company from the table is NewRelic, Inc.
We can see here that the EV/ Sales ratio range is quite normal. Although Oracle is a huge company with diversified operations, its multiples represent the expected growth rate in the business software industry. This represents an excellent starting point for expanding the valuation benchmark based on multiples of comparable companies.
With today’s complex valuations, screening by industry and sub-industry is not sufficient for finding the right comparable. Valuators need to perform more in-depth operational research about the valuated company, especially in the technology arena. This research will eventually help the valuator add the right comparables when choosing their peers, and eliminate companies that are not relevant to the valuation. | [

10,001,617 | OTTAWA—The Harper government plans further changes to its oft-maligned veterans charter, hoping to take the political sting out of complaints by ex-soldiers promising to campaign against them in the next election.
Veterans Affairs Minister Julian Fantino tabled the government’s response to a House of Commons committee review, which earlier this year recommended 14 specific changes to the support and benefits regime.
The department plans immediate revisions that don’t require spending or parliamentary approvals, to be followed — perhaps early in the new year — by changes requiring new money and co-ordination with other departments.
It remains unclear how much of the second phase will make it into next spring’s federal budget, the last before a federal election scheduled for October 2015.
The Commons committee complained, among other things, that the pain and suffering awards given to severely injured soldiers don’t match what the courts or provincial compensation systems provide.
The government says it is studying how to address the problem, but a source with knowledge of the file said Wednesday that a one-time $70,000 top-up payment could be added to whatever lump sum is given to a soldier.
The source was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and so spoke only on condition of anonymity.
Other fiscal issues, such as ensuring badly wounded soldiers receive financial benefits for life and the disparity in support between regular and reserve soldiers, will require “further due diligence,” the government response said.
More symbolically, there will be a rewrite to the preamble of the veterans charter to explicitly spell out Canada’s obligation to its veterans — a politically toxic issue that’s at the heart of a lawsuit by veterans of the war in Afghanistan.
In their statement of defence, government lawyers argued the country has no special obligation to its servicemen and women and that the current government can’t be bound by the political promises of its predecessors.
The Conservatives propose to remedy that by using language in the old Pension Act, which used to govern veterans, saying the application of the law should be “liberally construed” to the benefit of former soldiers and federal police officers.
Whether that will be enough to silence critics remains to be seen.
Fantino was involved in a testy, public exchange with veterans last winter over office closures and was accused of ignoring pleas for a meeting with a military spouse in a separate incident last spring | [

Both incidents were a black eye to a government that has staked its political reputation on defending those in uniform.
Last fall, the government was accused of being idle while the military summarily discharged injured soldiers, many of them with post-traumatic stress disorder, before they were ready to leave.
The Commons committee recommended no soldier be discharged until they were in a “stable” medical condition; Fantino’s department responded that it intends to become involved earlier in the transition process.
It also plans to give spouses access to a suite of services, including a new program to train caregivers how to cope with the severely injured family members.
That was a key demand of veterans advocate Jenifer Migneault, who chased Fantino from a committee meeting last spring. | [

10,001,619 | Instead, you should try resistance training and improve your endurance and strength and look much better naked!
A recent study examined the effects of resistance exercise on the metabolic constraints of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. The 53 patients were divided into 2 groups: the first one performed pushups and squats 3 times per week for 12 weeks, while the control group did not do any resistance exercise.
After 12 weeks, the effects were compared. In the exercise group, people greatly raised the fat-free and muscle mass and lowered the levels of iron, insulin, and fatty liver. Therefore, resistance exercises improve the characteristics of metabolic syndrome in the case of a non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
We will present some extremely effective and tried exercises that never go out of style. Moreover, they do not require any special equipment, but they will help you build lean muscle tone, slow down aging, and look absolutely irresistible!
They are ‘compounds movements’, meaning that they target more muscles simultaneously, and are not in some particular order. As soon as you incorporate them into your workout program, they will help you burn the most fat very quickly!
This exercise hits all the major muscle groups and makes your heart pump. It will help you burn more belly fat than hours of cardio. Also, you can modify it to any fitness level. | [

Will the Freightliner eCascadia kill the Tesla Semi?
Incumbent OEMs like Daimler, Volvo, and VW have seized the reins in the electric truck race. The only question is whether trucks like the Freightliner eCascadia will be able to deliver a performance competitive with Elon Musk’s Tesla Semi.
According to at least one analyst, Tesla may be putting its ambitious Semi project on hold as it tries to solve its many other issues, including Model 3 production.
The technology and product offerings for LNG/CNG Class 8 trucks are well ahead of battery-electric vehicles. Rising diesel prices may spur another wave of natural gas-powered truck adoption.

Truck operators have a number of regulations they must meet to operate in California, including trailer and refrigeration unit mandates. Failure to do so can lead to big fines.
Volvo Trucks has now formally entered the all-electric push with the announcement that its FL Electric vehicle has been introduced in Europe.
Hinting that it has just received a large contract with “one of the most recognized and valuable brands in the world,” Nikola Motor Company announced last week that it will be refunding all monies paid as part of a reservation to receive a Nikola One hydrogen-electric truck.

The Tesla Semi has finally hit the road. Tesla founder Elon Musk posted a picture of two Tesla Semi’s leaving the company’s Gigafactory in the Nevada mountains for a trip to California.
It's estimated that Tesla produces battery packs at a cost of $157/kwh, and the company has stopped claiming that it can dramatically reduce their cost. This puts the 1 mw Tesla Semi battery at $157k. | [

10,001,622 | Gerard Meszaros advises on using the right abstraction level and automation tools when creating unit or system-level tests.
Gerard Meszaros is an independent software development consultant and trainer with 30+ years experience in software and over a decade of experience in agile methods. He authored xUnit Test Patterns – Refactoring Test Code which won a Jolt Productivity Award. He is based near Calgary Canada and has coached teams and taught courses as far afield as China, India and Europe.
Literacy, clarity and domain language - Oh My!
I completely agree with you Gerard, writing test using domain language is the way to go.
No short presentation can be all things. This one explains well the ideas of the right abstraction level, ultimately arriving at tests that are literate, clear and concise, and use domain language. He argues that we should not think of what to put into a test, but rather what can we leave out. His demonstration doing so is good, though I may experiment a bit with builders that have an "irrelevant" object method, or otherwise try to improve upon that concept. I also liked his reasoning for embracing the given/when/then paradigm. It is something I came to awhile ago for the same reasons. It focuses one on the essence of the test. Finally, his use of method names closely mirrors what I feel should be done.
The presentation offers more. These are just the highlights I found worth sharing. Watch it. | [

10,001,624 | DC Stands for Double Champ!!
Many of you have heard of or even saw UFC 230 on Saturday featuring several fights including the main event- the heavyweight championship bout!
Our new head wrestling coach Daniel Cormier (DC) took the title fight on short notice and didn't disappoint handing the dangerous bomb throwing Derrick Lewis a loss via choke in the 2nd round. DC used superior wrestling skills to secure the victory over his massive opponent.
This was the Gilroy resident's third fight this year after clinching the 205 light heavyweight title in January.
DC now stands for DOUBLE CHAMP!!! Congrats!!
Re: DC Stands for Double Champ!!
Congrats to the Double Champ Good Doctor. Not a bad hire if I say so myself.
And he was at practice on Monday!!!... Unbelievable!
HUGE mma fan here. I just look forward to coaching against him... I felt the same way against Mark Munoz. DC is a stud.
Double Champ and Double M coaching in opposite corners!!!..... Let's get ready to ruuuuuuumble!!!!!!! hahah.
Will be a fun season for many reasons!
Crazy C L Lawson!!?!!? Really?!?! I'm reflecting back on your amazing monster days in wrestling when you won the state title (191), junior national title and then later as national open champ at 220.... I'm thinking this could be a three way grub fest!!! | [

10,001,625 | Is Phil Murphy’s Meddling In Soccer Team Affairs A Violation Of Blind Trust Agreement?
I’m not a lawyer so the question, “Is Phil Murphy meddling in soccer team affairs a violation of his blind trust agreement,” is an honest question.
According to NJ.com Murphy “ held onto his two-thirds interest in the women's professional soccer team Sky Blue FC.
In a blind trust, a settlor transfers assets to a third party who has complete discretion in how to use or invest the assets. In the typical blind trust, the settlor is also the beneficiary; thus, the trustee is managing the assets for the benefit of the settlor. However, the settlor/beneficiary can't give any instructions to the trustee about what to invest in; he has absolutely no knowledge of how the assets are invested or what they're being used for.
Maybe some people feel sorry for Murphy because of all the problems his soccer team has had and are willing to give him a free pass over calling draft picks to attempt to convince them to sign with Sky Blue.
In addition to having meetings with Reddy and general manager Tony Novo, some players, including Sheridan, spoke to owners Steven Temares and New Jersey governor Phil Murphy after the season. Sheridan said her conversation with them via conference call was good for both parties, particularly the ownership.
The team tweeted photos of players chatting with the first couple at Murphy’s home during a recent dinner party, but it’ll take more than one night of small talk and finger foods to solve the issues.
Obviously, I wasn’t invited to that dinner party, nut I believe it’s a safe bet to assume there was talk about how the team is run.
Mr. Murphy, with all his money, I’m sure has some really good lawyers, but my limited knowledge of blind trusts has me thinking he is in violation of the blind trust agreement. All his conversations with players are/were to either sign draft picks or convince stars to stay because improvements are being made. The way I see it those conversations improve his team’s bottom line, which means Murphy directly benefits from the conversations, clearly a violation of the blind trust.
Then again, I’m not a lawyer, so maybe I’m wrong. You decide. | [

10,001,627 | If you wanted to find out just how badly the Courts’ interpretation services contract was performing, you had to wait until August 7th to find out. This is when Capita Translation and Interpreting (CTI) – wholly owned by Capita but still reporting as a separate company – revealed its 2012 results, and what a sorry tale they tell. Thanks to the Courts’ contract, turnover increased from £6.8m to £21.1m, but operating losses ballooned from £1.6m to £15m. Before you ask, that isn’t a typo, it does actually say £15 million. How is that possible, you might wonder? How is it that a giant like Capita finds itself with such a money-pit of a contract?
How is it that the Courts’ Interpreting contract is proving to such a loss-maker? The answer to that is quite simple; it was never intended to be profitable. Think about it. You’re the owner of a small enterprise which has shown spectacular growth since you started it up, but somewhat annoyingly fails to make any profits. Indeed, it is accumulating a sizeable mountain of debt just to keep going. In order to off-load what minister Francis Maude MP was to later describe as ‘..a failing company..’ you need to make your company more attractive to potential buyers, and what could be more attractive than landing a big juicy government contract? To this end, you put in a bid for the contract where you promise to deliver everything the customer is asking for, with all the bells and whistles, and at a price which undercuts all of the competition by a substantial margin. Having won the contract, you find someone to buy your company and you walk off into the sunset with your millions, and leave the poor suckers that bought the business to find out they’ve bought a complete dud. In this instance, you can replace ‘poor suckers’ with ‘Capita shareholders’.
What are the sorts of really dumb things that Mr Wheeldon promised ALS would deliver? For a start, he offered to pick up much of the travel costs that Interpreters incur when they travel to an assignment, and not pass any of that cost on to the customer.
Under the system that prevailed before the contract, the Courts would pay for travel time and other expenses, just as they did | [

10,001,628 | (and continue to do) for all other categories of expert witnesses. After all, if you have to travel a substantial distance, it just wouldn’t be worth doing the job if you had to cover your own expenses, especially parking, bearing in mind that most Courts are located in city centres where parking is often at a premium.
Why Mr Wheeldon thought that travelling costs could be absorbed into his gross margin is anyone’s guess, but it does lead on to the next fantasy contract deliverable, which was to significantly increase the numbers of Interpreters available to satisfy demand. Taken at face value, this would reduce the need to pay travel expenses as it would be easier to find an interpreter that lives locally. Indeed, one of the KPIs in the contract was that 95% of assignments would be fulfilled by someone within a 25 mile radius, and yet in August 2012, for example, the actual figure was just 34%. Put it another, whereas the business plan assumed that in only about 5% of assignments there would be significant travel expenses to be paid, the actual figure is about 66%, more than 13 times greater. I think you can see where are a lot of your losses are being swallowed up.
I expect Capita shareholders come from all walks of life, from individuals who fancy a punt on the stock-market, to the fund managers that manage huge portfolios of investments on behalf of pension funds. Whatever your background, I expect most of you know a little about the fundamentals of economics, the laws of supply and demand, price elasticity, that sort of thing, GCSE level economics. Well, when it came to the Language services contract, ALS and the Ministry of Justice put conventional wisdom to one side and turned the rules of the free market on their head. They decided that the best way to get more Interpreters to enter the market was – you guessed it – to slash the pay rates. The consequences of this folly are plain to see: the number of Interpreters prepared to work for Capita is probably around half the numbers that were doing the job before the contract was rolled out, which leads on to the third big whammy. As Capita doesn’t have people prepared to work for it, many of the assignments are being sub-contracted out to other agencies, some of whom will be bidding to win the contract from Capita when it’s up for renewal in 2016.

10,001,629 | decide for yourself if that sounds like a group of people that are enthusiastic and determined to make the contract work, or are they just marking time, planning their next business ventures, instead of getting on with the job Capita is paying them to do?
As a shareholder, you must wonder who within Capita did all the due diligence before deciding to buy ALS. After all, when you’re losing over £1m per month, ALS would have been bankrupted within a matter of weeks. Capita could have waited until then to step in and pick up the pieces, no doubt the Ministry of Justice would have been so grateful they’d have probably paid Capita to do it, and Capita would be in an excellent bargaining position to re-negotiate the contract. In all fairness, maybe Capita decided it didn’t need to do much in the way of due diligence, assuming that the Ministry would have done all that before they placed the contract with ALS. How wrong they were.
For years to come, the procurement of the Language Services Contract with ALS will be the definitive, text-book case study of how not to place a government out-sourcing contract. It was not for nothing that the Public Accounts Committee report into the contract identified the Ministry of Justice as an ‘unintelligent customer’. I think the committee was being a little too polite. On the spectrum of competence, I’d like to know where ‘unintelligence’ ends and stupidity begins.
The big question now for Capita shareholders is this: are you happy to continue sustaining these losses, or are you going to do something about it? There is a remedy available, which is to pull out of the contract. There are no early termination penalties, it could happen as early as tomorrow if you want it that way. There is a recent precedent, when NHS Direct decided to pull out of delivering the 111 emergency call service, citing the contracts as being ‘financially unsustainable’. Hugely embarrassing for NHS Direct, but at least they had the courage to act early, and stop throwing good money after bad.
At present, both Capita and the MoJ are putting on a brave face, claiming they are investing in the business and that things are improving. Well, they may call it investment, but really it’s just plain old spending money to subsidise the service. As for improvements, you need | [

You cannot help but notice the inexorable upward trend, clear evidence that contract performance is on a downwards slide, not to mention that bad publicity Capita receives from all the press stories about collapsed trials, delayed trials, case adjournments etc. You might be able to brush off such criticism if Capita was making a decent profit on the contract, but to take massive losses sound more like masochism than shrewd investment.
The Ministry of Justice is in no hurry to terminate the contract. Indeed, why should they when they are receiving a service – albeit a substandard one – at well below cost price. It allows them to claim they are making substantial savings, but the truth is that the costs have simply been transferred from being a burden on the taxpayer to a burden on Capita shareholders. As a UK taxpayer I suppose I should feel grateful for your collective benevolence. It’s gratifying that after all the taxes you already pay to HM Treasury in the way of income tax, corporation tax, tax on dividends, stamp duty etc, you still feel the need to go the extra mile and provide a direct subsidy as well. It would have saved a lot of disruption if the government had left the old interpreter booking system alone and simply imposed a windfall tax on Capita to help it shore up the public finances.
What is puzzling is why Capita itself doesn’t pull out of the contract. One can only think that the senior management that decided to buy ALS don't want to admit they got it disastrously wrong, in case it makes them look stupid. Perhaps they believe that if they keep quiet about it, no one will notice the losses when compared to the profits other parts of the company are making. Perhaps they’re content to take the money they could be paying out as dividends and use it instead to prop up a failing business, in the forlorn hope that something will turn up.
I can’t imagine what that something might be. There is little scope for growing the business, as demand for legal interpreters is largely determined by the volume of criminal activity. Demand was already declining before the contract | [

Local government minister Eric Pickles has been vocal in his opposition to providing any interpretation or translation services to foreign nationals, taking the view that anyone who wants to live in the UK should speak English. The Metropolitan police service – which spends about £5m/year on translation and interpreting – has no intention of migrating over to using Capita’s service. It already has its own tried and tested system which works perfectly well, and has observed the grief that other forces have experienced at the hands of Capita.
In conclusion, I would ask all Capita shareholders to consider whether it is in their personal interests to sit back and watch their money being poured down the drain. If you are persuaded that it makes sense to cut your losses now, then your only hope is to put pressure on the company to pull out of the contract at the earliest opportunity. It means writing off the money paid in buying ALS and subsidising the contract over the last 18 months, which must amount to around £30m by now, but if you do nothing, you’re likely to continue losing another £10m/year (at least) for the foreseeable future. | [

10,001,632 | An interesting find of a very large tellin adds to the list of species known from Sint Eustatius.
Every day, underwater, the scuba divers of the Statia Marine 2015 Expedition are finding and photographing live organisms, as well as taking them back to the lab at the Caribbean Netherlands Science Institute for DNA subsampling. The divers are also picking up dead empty mollusc shells. With all this material coming in to the CNSI lab for identification, each day we are able to add several more species to the list of marine molluscs of Statia (previously 182 species).
Niels Schrieken gave the valve to the malacologists on the team (Susan J. Hewitt and Sylvia van Leeuwen) to identify. They were surprised; it is a valve of the Great Tellin, Laciolina magna, the largest tellin in the western Atlantic Ocean, and rather a rare species.

10,001,634 | At the end of January we learned that Mark Zuckerberg had the idea of bringing some services to Facebook. This includes Messaging Messenger, WhatsApp, and Instragram.
The idea of reconciliation is to make Facebook page administrators easier to answer private messages and manage the larger communities more easily. But first of all, this comparison would pass much more personal data and thus offer more precise targeting to advertisers. That's about 2.6 billion users.
But for Germany there is no doubt that Facebook will allow it to cross over personal information again. The country has repeatedly opposed the American giants, including Facebook and its tendency to gather too much data without warning to users.
The Bundeskartellamt (German Competition Authority) has already banned Facebook to collect data on the relevant couriers in Facebook's profile. Obviously, this is not about sharing personal data collected from group messages and those obtained directly from the social network.
To be able to move to Europe with its new service, Facebook may have to offer an option for data collection or sharing. Because other European countries should follow the leading role of Germany on this issue.

10,001,636 | Agree with port-a-rod recommendation. Using one on 2014 ram 1500 and it fits and works well. The bottom of the rod tubes seat nicely in the front bottom corner of the bed with the ratcheting ends sitting right above wheel well. In other words, it doesn't even have to be ratcheted that tightly into place to be secure. I've put 12ft surf rods in mine with no real concern.
Thanks, will do. Enjoy the line.
Sounds good, thanks for your time.
No problem. Should go out in a day or two.
Lee, when Hodgeman replaced a leaky pair of waders for me they sent an extra belt. If you think it will do what you need PM me your details and I’ll throw it in the mail.
I'll do the Orvis line please...thanks.
I'm still new to this as well (a couple of years in) and wrap the same way everyone is suggesting. The only down-side I can think of, and have experienced, is that the material being wrapped has a tendency to be pushed away from you by the thread if not pinched well and ends up wrapped on the far side of the hook. Wrapping the other way, towards you, would make it very apparent when this happens. I'd take some of my earliest flies out of the vice, view the far side of them for the first time and realize that it looked nothing like the side I had been looking at all along. But, now that I am aware of it I just make a habit of preventing it and checking both sides as I tie. Besides initiallypinching the material I've also found that sometimes a couple of loose wraps first, then a good pinch before pulling the thread can help as well. It also took me some time to realize that not all hair on a bucktail is equal, From top to bottom each section of the tail has different properties (thickness, hollowness) and will respond differently to your wraps. From one newbie to another, I hope this helps.

10,001,638 | An American Special Forces soldier has died from wounds sustained during an operation against Taliban guerrillas in southern Afghanistan, the United States military said Friday. He is the third American to die in operations in Afghanistan in less than a week.
The Special Forces soldier, whose name has not yet been released, was with a combat unit of Americans and Afghan militia on Thursday when they came under attack from a group of 10 to 15 gunmen suspected of being members of the Taliban in Helmand Province in southern Afghanistan.
While United States Apache helicopters and A-10 planes blasted the rebels, an Afghan soldier, who was also wounded, and the American were both evacuated by helicopter to the United States air base just outside the city of Kandahar in southern Afghanistan.
The attack comes after three American soldiers were slightly wounded in an ambush on Monday in eastern Afghanistan and after two Americans working for the C.I.A. were killed during a separate combat operation near the Pakistani border last Saturday.
Forty United States soldiers have been killed since the beginning of the campaign against the Taliban and its Qaeda allies in October 2001. The Taliban have regrouped this year and launched a new insurgency, along with supporters of the renegade guerrilla commander Gulbuddin Hekmatyar. Four American soldiers were killed in combat in August, one of most violent months Afghanistan has seen since the end of the major fighting last year.
In an interview last week the commander of the American-led coalition in southern Afghanistan, Col. Burke Garrett, played down the strength of the Taliban, saying that his forces had never encountered a group of more than a dozen militants at any one time. He described them as cowardly, and without support of the local population.
''The Afghan Taliban are a broken, dispirited, fractured movement,'' he said. ''They have lost hope and are grasping at some last hope with their attacks.'' But he admitted that Mullah Muhammad Omar, the Taliban leader, was still at liberty and was moving in and out of the country from Pakistan, as were two of his more notorious commanders, Mullah Bradar and Mullah Dadullah.
Al Qaeda, while it no longer has a sanctuary in Afghanistan, continues to finance and manipulate the Taliban to continue attacks against American and Afghan government forces, he said.
The United Nations under secretary general for peacekeeping operations, Jean-Marie Guehenno, told the Security Council last Friday that the Taliban had de facto control over three districts bordering | [

10,001,640 | Adam Price has become the second Plaid Cymru Assembly Member to challenge Leanne Wood for leadership of the party.
The Carmarthen East and Dinefwr AM has confirmed that he will allow his name to go forward.
He joins Ynys Môn AM Rhun ap Iorwerth who confirmed his intention to stand earlier. You can read more details here.
The level of encouragement and support I received whilst not declaring any intention to stand has been truly humbling.
Following the recommendation of the Assembly Group to invite members to discuss a future leadership model, and the subsequent positive reaction from Leanne Wood, teams for both I and Leanne negotiated throughout the day, in good faith, to reach a way forward which recognised the need for change and avoid the need to challenge.
I will now accept the nominations I have received to seek to lead Plaid Cymru.
I will use this campaign to enthusiastically share and discuss some bold and creative policy ideas for a prosperous, confident and independent Wales with party members who will now have the opportunity they have called for to have their say on building a renewed and resurgent Plaid Cymru.
Earlier this week Adam Price said that Plaid has 'generally failed to consistently articulate a comprehensive and compelling vision of the future' and that to move forward it should have two leaders in future.
He'd also suggested that he wouldn't challenge if his proposal for Plaid to have two leaders were adopted.
I have always been in favour of collective leadership, of using all the talents at our disposal to get the best for Wales and its people. We have fantastic ability within our ranks - from our grassroots members, our town and community councillors, our county councillors and all the way up to our AMs and MPs.
The Assembly group today stated that any proposal for a system of co-leadership would be a decision for the party and its membership. I am keen to discuss further how we can build a stronger collective leadership, and we need time to consider different options in a spirit of comradeship through the democratic processes of the party. The membership must decide how we move forward to achieve our goals.
Wales faces huge challenges and that's why we need a Plaid Cymru government more than ever. I want to lead this party with a positive platform into the 2021 election and I intend to become First Minister. I've set myself a high bar, and I'm putting | [

Recent polls show that under my leadership and through working hard as a collective, we can take on Labour - as I did in the Rhondda - and win.
The proposal was discussed by Plaid Cymru AMs in a group meeting yesterday but they decided it should be a matter for members of the wider party.
The Plaid Cymru Assembly Group has discussed the proposal for co-leadership put forward.
Party leadership structures should always be considered for renewal and there is merit in exploring new ideas.
However, the Group agreed that such proposals are a matter for the party and its membership, rather than the Assembly Group. | [

10,001,643 | Blackberry is made by a process in which the fruit is dehydrated and then ground. It is interesting that blackberry is dried at low temperatures, thus avoiding nutritional loss.
This food stands out because it contributes to weight loss because it is rich in soluble fiber. In addition, it has antioxidant action because it is rich in anthocyanins, substances that act fighting the free radicals of the body and thus prevent aging and diseases such as Alzheimer's, cardiovascular diseases, etc.
Flour is also rich in vitamins, especially K and C, mineral salts such as potassium, selenium and zinc, and fibers. The latter is very interesting because it provides the best intestinal transit and is responsible for the food being able to help in weight loss.
Blackberry and blackberry flour have almost the same nutrients. However, there are some differences in how they are offered. The fruit has better bioavailability of the nutrients, but from the point of view of the concentration of the substances, the flour wins because it is made with a very large amount of blackberries.
Because it has more fruit and does not contain water, flour is more caloric. While 25 grams of fruit has 10 calories, the same amount of flour has about 32.5 calories. However, it also has high concentrations of nutrients such as iron, which helps prevent anemia, and calcium, which is important for the health of bones and teeth.
Potassium, interesting because it helps balance blood pressure, magnesium, which acts on the nervous system by fighting stress and improving the absorption of calcium, and selenium, which has antioxidant action, are present in blackberry flour.
The food also has good concentrations of vitamin C, which helps to make the body more resistant to infections, and vitamin K, which is essential to keep bones healthy and also acts in the process of blood clotting.
Like fruit, flour has high amounts of flavonoids, especially anthocyanin. These substances have a strong antioxidant action preventing the formation of free radicals. Another interesting point of the food is that it has large amounts of pectin, a soluble fiber that provides a number of benefits such as satiety, absorption of fats and improves the intestinal transit.
Glucose has slower absorption through pectins and thus avoids glycemic peaks. The result is a smaller production of the hormone insulin, responsible for putting blood sugar into the cells. Reducing glycemic peaks and producing insulin is beneficial in | [

10,001,644 | preventing and for people who have diabetes. This is because when the hormone is produced and released in the body in large amounts, some tissues and organs begin to reduce its response to it, requiring more insulin to store the same amount of glucose. This process is a framework called insulin resistance, which if not reversed can progress to diabetes 2.
Who already has diabetes, both type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes, and more glucose peaks in the blood, worse your state stays. Therefore, the consumption of this meal helps to have a blood sugar balance, stabilizing the problem.
The guidance is to consume between one or two tablespoons of blackberry meal a day, about 25 to 50 grams.
It is possible to combine blackberry flour with a number of foods. By its sweet taste, it can be used in sweets. Add the food in the preparation of cakes and other desserts.
It also looks great in vitamins and with yogurt. Since blackberry flour does not have many proteins or fats, combine it with skimmed yogurt, a source of calcium and protein, and a tablespoon of oilseed, rich in healthy fats.
When compared to other fruit flours, blackberry has some similar benefits and still has differentials. Passionfruit flour, like blackberry, is rich in pectins, which makes it satiety, fat absorption and improves intestinal transit.
Green banana flour also has pectins, and it has starch resistant, which will potentiate the effects of this soluble fiber. However, this food also does not have the antioxidant action that is present in blackberry flour.
When comparing the blackberry flour with the blackberry fruit, it is noted that both have practically the same nutrients. However, there are some differences in how they are offered. The fruit has better bioavailability of the nutrients, but from the point of view of the concentration of the substances, the flour wins because it is made with a very large amount of blackberries. Unfortunately for having more of the fruit and not contain water, the flour is more caloric. While 25 grams of the fruit has 10 calories, the same amount of flour has about 32.5 calories.
There are no contraindications to the consumption of this food. However, it is interesting that people with diabetes do not ingest it in large quantities because it has considerable sugar and carbohydrate values.
Eating too much can cause a person to gain weight, since it is caloric. The flour containing a lot | [

Check out delicious recipes with blackberry flour prepared by Malu Lobo from the Foot in the Kitchen site.
When it comes to eating diabetes, fruits are a delicate topic. This is because they are rich in carbohydrates and some of them can cause glycemic peaks, which is not interesting for those who have diabetes. "The faster the glucose uptake, the faster the body produces insulin," says nutritionist Roberto Navarro.
The Diet of Quick Metabolism, also known as metabolic diet, has been developed by dietitians of celebrities Haylie Pamroy and Eve Adamson. In the diet there is no such thing as a diet of fast metabolism. counts calories or fat. His theory is based on varying what the person eats throughout each week, according to a diet plan designed to induce physiological changes that promises to raise metabolism.

10,001,646 | Punta Brava is an excellent place to stop because it has a viewpoint from where you get a real feel for the area. You can see right across the calm waters of the Mar Menor to its islands and the La Manga Strip beyond. If you look in the opposite direction the views of the Sierra Mineras are just as stunning. You can simply marvel from the road, or follow the walking route around the hill to its top for even more amazing vistas.
Punta Brava also has a lovely long beach and promenade; both connect into the beach and the promenade of the village of Los Urrutias to the south.
Start the day with a visit to the viewpoint at Punta Brava which will give you a true understanding of the area. Then drive to Santiago de la Ribera, have a spot of lunch and take the ferry across to the Tomas Maestre Marina on the La Manga Strip and back again to get a different viewpoint!
Spend the day exploring the villages and towns that line the shores of the Mar Menor to really get to know this beautiful and unique landscape or visit the stunning Calblanque Regional Park for quiet rural beaches and plenty of walking and cycling routes.
Have a morning coffee in the village square then drive to neighbouring Los Nietos and catch the train into the city of Cartagena which is packed with many things to do.
Parking: is on the road and is free, it gets busy during high season so park wherever you see a space!
From here: walk down onto the long beach.
From here: walk down onto the long promenade, turn right to walk all the way to Los Urrutias.
From here: admire the views!
From here: follow the marked walking route around the hill, detour off to the top if you want 360 degrees of panoramic views. | [

10,001,648 | I analyze an A/B test from a mail-order company of two different kinds of box packaging from a Bayesian decision-theory perspective, balancing posterior probability of improvements & greater profit against the cost of packaging & risk of worse results, finding that as the company’s analysis suggested, the new box is unlikely to be sufficiently better than the old. Calculating expected values of information shows that it is not worth experimenting on further, and that such fixed-sample trials are unlikely to ever be cost-effective for packaging improvements. However, adaptive experiments may be worthwhile.
Candy Japan is a small mail-order company which, since 2011, sends semi-monthly small packages of Japanese candies & novelty foods from Japan to subscribers typically in the West. While mail-order subscriptions services such as tea or chocolate of the month clubs are not rare, Candy Japan publishes unusually detailed blog posts discussing their business, such as how they were nearly killed by credit card fraud, pricing, their overhead, (non) sales from YouTube stardom, life as an expat in Japan, and annual summaries (eg 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015), which are often discussed on Hacker News.
Plain unbranded boxes go for just $0.34 a piece, while a box with a full-color illustration printed on the cover costs almost twice as much: $0.67. This may not seem like such a big difference, but in absolute terms using the new box means around $500 less profit per month or roughly 10% of profit margin.
In group A 38.27%, or 168 of the 439 customers receiving the new package design canceled during the test. In group B 39.59%, or 175 of the 442 customers receiving the old package design canceled during the test. This is not a statistically significant difference. In a world where it makes no difference which package is sent, you would get a result as significant as this 80% of the time.
These cancellation rates strike me as bizarrely high1, but CJ has here a straightforward decision problem: should it switch to the decorated boxes or not, based on the information provided by this randomized experiment? After all, the decorated boxes did perform slightly better than the undecorated boxes.
The most conventional approach here would be what CJ did: treat this as a 2-sample test of proportions, or a binomial regression, and compute a p-value for the treatment; if | [

It would be better to do a more informed Bayesian decision theory approach (Schlaifer 1959, Raiffa & Schlaifer 1961, Pratt et al 1995) including our knowledge that improvements should be small, giving a concrete probability that there is an improvement and if there is how large, letting us calculate the probability that the switch would be profitable using money as our loss function, the profitability of further experimentation, and how we would run an A/B test more efficiently in terms of maximizing profit rather than some other criterion.
# of 0.651 and larger for Group 2 by a probability of 0.349 .
It’s often said that a null-hypothesis significance test is similar to Bayesian inference with flat priors, so our p-value winds up having a suspicious similarity to our posterior probability that the new box helped (which is P=0.651). Of course, we have prior knowledge here: A/B tests, or switching boxes, cannot possibly lead to cancellation rates as high as 100% or as low as 0%, and in fact, it would be shocking if the usual 39% cancellation rate could be changed by more than a few percentage points; even ±5% would be surprising (but practically important).
So a much more informative prior reduces the posterior probability that the new box reduced the cancellation rate to P=0.56, with the mean estimate of the reduction being ~0.21%.
Since, while small, this is still >50%, it is possible that switching to the new box is a good idea, but we will need to consider costs and benefits to turn our posterior estimate of the reduction into a posterior distribution of gains/losses.
What is the value of a reduction in cancellations such as 0.21%?
CJ says that it has a profit margin of ~$5000 on the 439+442=881 customers (881 is consistent with the totals reported in an earlier blog post) or ~$5.7 profit per customer per month. So a reduction from 0.3909 to 0.3847 is 4.96 customers staying, each of whom is worth $5.7, so a gain of $28.7 per month.
What is the total benefit? Well, presumably it increases the lifetime value of a customer | [

10,001,650 | : the total they spend, and hence your amount of profit on them. If you profit $1 per month on a customer and they stay 1 year before canceling, you make $12; but if they stay 2 years on average, you’d make $24, which is better.
We don’t have a 10% point reduction in hand, but we do have a posterior distribution of reduction estimates.
In this case, we estimate that rolling out the new box would increase revenue by a NPV of $4044.
The new boxes cost $0.33 more per month per customer than the old boxes, so at 344 new customers per month with lifetimes of 2.57 months, that’s 344*12*2.57*-0.33=-3500 a year, which translates to a NPV of -$36,732.
$4k-$36k yields a loss of $32k, so we conclude that the new boxes are an order of magnitude too expensive to be worthwhile. To justify spending on the new box, we need a reduction of new box price down to ~$0.04, or get at least a ~2.16% reduction in the cancellation rate.
So our decision is to stick with the old boxes.
Still, 7% is not negligible - there is still a chance that we are making a mistake in not using the new boxes, as we did get evidence suggesting the new boxes are better. Are the results favorable enough to justify additional A/B testing?
This gets into the “expected value of perfect information” (EVPI): how valuable would be a definitive answer to the question of whether the decrease is better than 2.16%? Would we be willing to pay $10 or $100 or $1000 for an oracle’s answer?
In 93% of the cases, we believe the answer would be ‘no’: the oracle is worth nothing since it could only tell us what we already believe (that the decrease is less than 2.26%), in which case we remain with the status quo profit of $0 and are no better off, so in those cases the oracle was worth $0; in the other 7% of the cases, the answer would be ‘yes’ and we would change our decision and make some expected profit. So the value of the oracle is $ | [

So because of the small possibility of a profitable box (which might be very profitable applied to all customers indefinitely), we’d be willing to pay up to a grand total of $10773 for certain information.
That would be enough to pay for 33.2k new boxes; used as part of another A/B test, it would provide extreme power by standard p-value testing3, so we might wonder if further experimentation is profitable.
How much would n more observations be worth, the “expected value of sample information”? The EVSI must be smaller than the EVPI’s implied n=332645; we can estimate exactly how much smaller by repeatedly simulating drawing n more observations, doing a Bayesian update, recalculating our expected profits for both choices (status quo vs new box), deciding whether to switch, and recording our profit if we do switch. This can be used to plan a fixed-sample experiment by finding the value of n which maximizes the EVSI: if n is too small (eg n=1), it doesn’t affect our decision, but if n is too big (n=100,000) it is overkill.
So with the current data, we would suffer an expected loss of $33k by switching to the new box.
It is easy to simulate collecting another datapoint since it’s binary data without any covariates or anything: draw a possible cancellation probability from the posterior distribution for that group, and then flip a coin with the new probability.
Now we can repeatedly simulate fake data, add it to the real data, rerun the analysis, see what the new estimated profit is from the best action (usually we will conclude what we already conclude, that the box is not worthwhile and the value of the new information is then $0 - but in some possible universes the new data will change our decision), compare the new estimated profit against the old profit, and thus whether the increase in profit resulting from that new datapoint justifies the cost of the new datapoints.
## the old box profit is 0; what's the estimated profit of new boxes given additional data?
EVSI exhibits an interesting behavior in that decisions are discrete, so unlike one might intuitively expect, the EVSI of eg n=1-100 can be zero but the | [

10,001,652 | EVSI of n=1000 can suddenly be large. Typically an EVSI curve will be zero (and hence expected profit increasingly negative) for small sample sizes where the data cannot possibly change one’s decision no matter how positive it looks, and then when it does become ample enough to affect the decision, becomes increasingly valuable until a peak is reached and then diminishing returns sets in and it eventually stops improving noticeably (while the cost continues to increase linearly).
In this case, the end result of the CJ experiment is that no fixed-sample extension is worthwhile as the EVSI remains less than the cost of the sample for all natural numbers.
In considering whether to pay for an experiment, the parameters need to be in a fairly narrow range: if the prior probability of success is high (or the potential profit high, or the cost low, or some combination thereof), then one is best off simply implementing the intervention without any further experimentation; while if the prior probability is low (or the potential profit low, or the cost high), the intervention is not worth testing at all (since the data is unlikely to discourage one enough to stop using it); only in between is the probability of profit sufficiently uncertain that the EVSI is high enough to justify running an experiment. In the other two cases, collecting data is sampling to a foregone conclusion: regardless of what the first datapoint turns out to be, the decision will still be the same; and if the first datapoint doesn’t change one’s decision, why bother collecting it?
Earlier I noted that from the cost of the new boxes and the value of customers, the new boxes would have to reduce cancellation by at least 2.26% just to break-even. This is already a priori fairly unlikely because it seems that cancellations ought to be primarily due to issues like pricing, selection of wares, social media marketing, customer support & problems in shipping or charging, and that sort of thing - packaging is the sort of thing a business should experiment on when it’s run out of better ideas. And then the profit from >2.26% must pay for the experimentation costs which could establish such a reduction. This raises a question: was it ever a good idea to decide to run such an experiment?
So while there are worthwhile gains to be found, a priori, experimentation costs too much for any fixed-sample trial to be cost-effective. To change this | [

10,001,653 | , we need some combination of cheaper experiments (eg boxes costing $0.07 each), more powerful experiments (adding in covariates to explain variance & allow inference at smaller sample sizes?), some reason for a more optimistic prior (positive results from other experiments indicating large effects), a reduction in discount rate (a new owner of CJ in for the long run?) or increase in customer base or customer lifetime value, or use of a different experimental approach entirely like an adaptive sequential trial.
Fixed-sample experiments, whether planned using EVSI or not, suffer from the problem that they receive feedback only in fixed steps: even if the first half of the data is extremely unpromising, one still has to pay for the second half of the data. One has no options to stop early and change one’s decision. In a sequential trial, in which the data comes in smaller chunks (ideally, 1 by 1), one pays for information more gradually; as it is always better to have information than to not have it, sequential trials can be much better than fixed-sample trials and closer to an optimal design.
We could see the CJ experiment as a two-player game against Nature, and calculate a game tree which gives the optimal decision by backwards induction (example for an A/B test; see also chapter 38, “Sequential Decision Procedures” (pg590) of Schlaifer 1959). This will maximize our profit during the sequence of decisions (but not necessarily afterwards).
create a tree in which a level expresses our two choices (to sample 1 old box or 1 new box), and then those 2 nodes link to a deeper layer of 2 nodes expressing Nature’s choices (to have the customer cancel or stay).
Now each node has the cancellations & _n_s available, so we can calculate what the posterior probability of cancellation would be conditional on us and Nature making a particular sequence of choices.
Then for each outcome node, we can define a loss: if the customer cancels and we used a new box, we lose their successive lifetime value of $14.59 and the cost of the new box of $0.3; if we used an old box and they canceled, just $14.59; if they don’t cancel and we used an old box, we gain the monthly profit of $5.7, and if they don’t cancel and we used a new box, the monthly profit of $ | [

10,001,654 | 5.7 minus the new box cost of $0.33.
With the posterior probability and losses, we can then calculate the expected value of each node.
Now that every node has an expected value, we can then propagate the values backwards to each choice node; the value of a choice is not the average of the two outcomes - because we are choosing intelligently rather than at random - but the maximum of the two choices. We start at the root/first choice and recursively define the profit as the loss plus the sum of its best descendant; when we reach a terminal/leaf node, just like in the original decision analysis or EVSI, we consider the expected profit of a new box (often something like -$33,000) vs an old box ($0) and we pick the maximum. With that, the optimal decision can be read off the tree.
It is helpful for reading if we finish by pruning the decision tree and delete any subtrees which are inferior to their siblings, since we will never follow them.
So in this scenario, we start with a control box (unsurprisingly, as it’s cheaper) but if we get bad feedback, we’ll try switching to the new boxes, and if that doesn’t work, switch back to controls immediately.
n=9 is similar but the tree is unwieldy to show inline; one can view the tree as a CSV file.
What about a more realistic example like n=800 since the necessary samples for a A/B test might get into the thousands? Unfortunately, such brute force planning doesn’t scale well. Naively, with two possible actions and two possible outcomes we’d get a full binary tree of 22n nodes (alternating choice and outcome layers), so we’d need to store 1,048,576 nodes to express a n=10 trial. As it is, the n=9 tree is the largest I can fit in RAM.
In this case we can do better: with i.i.d binomial samples and the sufficient statistics of m cancels out of n trials, then for a total sample/horizon of 100, there are 100 possible splits between the two options - 100 new boxes and 0 old boxes, 99 new boxes and 1 old box … 0 new boxes and 100 old boxes etc - and each has 100 possible ‘cancels of trials’ - | [

-- E[1 / p], which is the harmonic mean of the beta distribution, not 1 / E[p].
This version when compiled is performant enough to reach n=242 before running out of RAM (peaks at ~9.6GB use). A tree this big is hard to visualize, so we can compare the value of the optimal trial to that of a constant decision to use only the old box. With uninformative priors, at n=242, it estimates that the constant strategy is worth $2,960,718 but the adaptive trial is worth $5,275,332. With the informative prior, at n=242, the constant strategy is worth $631869 and the adaptive trial is worth $631869 (that is, the new boxes are never worth sampling with such a short horizon) and likewise at shorter horizons like n=100 ($632679).
To be sampling over a long enough run to make the new boxes worth testing despite the informative priors’ negativity, we might need to run as long as n=10000, in which case now there would be 100002=1e+08 terminal nodes to evaluate and propagate back through the decision tree in addition to their storage space, which is problematic. At this point, one would have to switch to specialized MDP/POMDP solvers or approximation solvers like Monte Carlo tree search which use clever abstractions to prune the tree or generalize over many states or expand only parts of the tree for deeper evaluation.
A more easily implemented approach would be to treat it as not an experiment which must terminate soon, but a perpetual choice by CJ: a multi-armed bandit problem.
Then the solution is simple: Thompson sampling. We calculate the probability that the new box is profitable (which we already know how to do) and allocate a customer to new boxes with that probability. Hardly takes more than a line of code, yet it will automatically balance exploration & exploitation while minimizing wasted samples.
We can try simulating out something similar to the CJ experiment by imagining that CJ mails off 1 package per day and 31 days later, learns if the customer has canceled or not.4 Run this for, say, 20 | [

A multi-armed bandit approach never turns in a final decision but instead allocates ever fewer samples to inferior arms; since a MAB never sets an arm to 0, it never makes a final decision (which might be wrong). Still, after n=10,000 or 20,000, the results are unlikely to change and it becomes extremely unlikely for a bad box to be chosen.
The Thompson sampler has reached the correct conclusion in all cases, at modest costs in the unprofitable cases. The simplicity and efficiency of Thompson sampling, and ease of aligning it with business objectives, is one reason it’s popular in the tech world. | [

It is the result of countless happy hours spent in the buzzing cafes and restaurants of Kell’s native Denmark . When the opportunity to open a restaurant on Golborne Road presented itself they jumped at the chance of recreating a little bit of Copenhagen’s culinary culture in this wonderfully diverse pocket of London.
With some wonderful long standing team members, we are known in the neighbourhood for providing not just amazing food, but friendly yet professional service too.
We refuse to compromise on quality at SNAPS + RYE and choose only the very best produce which we then prepare, cure, pickle, marinate in house . Nothing we serve in the restaurant is pre made or bought in. For this reason our food is not necessarily the cheapest, but good ingredients don't come cheap and we believe that the quality of our food is worth that little bit more.
EXCELLENT We didn’t have a reservation but luckily were able to squeeze in after a day on Portobello Road. Had the meatballs - to die for! Very juicy and full of flavor. Definitely very happy we stumbled on this little place!
Great place for a weekend lunch or brunch. Really good food options, and even better drink ones (the house snaps varieties are a tempting snare), and outstanding relaxed and friendly service.
OUR BRUNCH IS SERVED ALL DAY EVERY DAY!

Now I am going to test the next ubuntu release, this is ubuntu 8.10 or if you prefer Intrepid Ibex.
According to the ubuntu release schedule the last version to test if the Alpha 4. Two months left for the release.
- First I downloaded the iso image of ubuntu 8.10 Alpha 4 from here.
where 4G is the size of the virtual hard disk.
where 512 is the size of the RAM.
- If you are using a 64 bits operative system you should use qemu-system-x86_64 as command instead of qemu.
then you can run qemu with the option --kernel-kqemu to use the accelerator. | [

10,001,664 | Mount Kisco/Bedford–based artist Nathaniel Galka is a graduate of Columbus (Ohio) College of Art and Design. He also has a masters in fine arts from Northwestern University and has become a storyteller using pens and paint to mediate his natural subjects and internal processes.
He lived in Los Angeles, Chicago, and a few other Midwestern cities and became part of a young and thriving group of emerging American artists. He has participated in various alternative and traditional Fine Art shows and has an extended list of Art Gallery representation.
Nathaniel’s ability to combine an ethereal Asian sensibility with nature and florals makes his collection of work the type you gaze at for extended moments. His use of color, space and clarity are detailed and original. Often there is a surprise, whether a nest, a bird, and even a moose can be found in the sophisticated art of Nathaniel Galka. He feels that true art is not about the artist’s projection so much as it is about the viewer’s perception.
He works in small- and large-scale formats; his murals are painted on canvas, which enables them to be a permanent part of any personal collection. Clever homeowners looking to add color to their walls find that murals offer a distinctive solution that is nothing like wallpaper. He often works with designers and architects to create the perfect blend of art and decor.
Nathaniel or ‘Thaniel‘ as he’s often called greets you with a big smile, piercing blue eyes and ginger-ish beard. He’s a fun-loving guy who likes to make you laugh while simultaneously shocking you with revelations. You have to stay alert when you’re cocktail chatting with Thaniel- he is the extroverted side of an introverted profession and he’s so very insightful. He lives in a stylish home with his Interior Designer partner, Carl Lana and their small adorable pet children.
The moment you knew you wanted to be connected to the art and design world – Never stood a chance, it’s in my blood. Grandfather was an internationally known photographer, my mother is an artist, and my father was the former president of the Florida Wallpaper Guild.
What are elements of your signature style – I take elements from different styles in the fine and decorative arts throughout history, by combining them, I create theatrical yet relatable images for the viewer | [

10,001,666 | Nothing can beat the classic experience of sleeping under a starry sky around a campfire during a trek or a trip. But it may not be the most comfortable sleep ever, especially if you are trudging through a rocky terrain. Keeping this in mind, air mattress manufacturers have come up with camping mattresses that can give you the comfort of sleeping in your own bed even in the middle of a jungle.
These mattresses are designed to withstand rough and jagged surfaces. Some of them are especially built to support toddlers and come with built-in pillows. Elevated edges prevent kids from rolling over the bed while asleep.
AeroSport All Terrain is a leading model in the market. It supports external pump that can inflate the mattress in just one minute. But the pump requires charging so you better charge it fully before starting for the trip. Sleep comfortably and wake up refreshed for another day of fun and adventure. | [

10,001,667 | Mother Jones on fracking-related deaths, The New York Times on a fracking institute, Co.Exist on business' role in climate change, Grist on farmers, The Los Angeles Times on lessons from the Dust Bowl and Ken Burns.
Mother Jones on oil and gas workers' injuries in North Dakota Tim McDonnell and James West explain how workers in the fracking industry in North Dakota are at risk. With a growing number of rigs, there is a growing number of deaths and there's a "lethal combination of factors: thousands of young, inexperienced workers; a glut of new, often mom-and-pop contractors; and out-of-date oil rigs being brought back online." Not to mention the fact that workers are dissuaded from filing worker's-comp claims, or the fact that fracking sand contains fine silica which could get into lungs and eventually lead to cancer. Though there has been much attention paid to the environmental hazards of fracking, the safety chief for the AFL-CIO says "there hasn't been sufficient attention paid to workers' safety."
The New York Times on SUNY Buffalo's fracking institute Speaking of fracking, the State University of New York is closing its Shale Resources and Society Institute. This move comes after professors, students, and SUNY trustees had petitioned the school to shut the institute down among "concerns in academia about the growing influence of corporate money in research especially at a time when government grants are declining." Mireya Navarro writes that the school's president wrote in a letter that the reason for the shut down was an "assessment that determined that it lacked 'sufficient' faculty presence, that it was not consistent enough in disclosing its financial interests and that the credibility of its research was compromised because of questions over its financing."
Co.Exist on business and climate change Co.Exist explains that the business world, unlike the policy world, has actually been considering the effects of climate change, and that "forward-looking executives recognize that the longer we wait to start taking it seriously, the harder and more expensive it will be for their companies to prosper in a changing world." There are things business are going to have to prepare for the "new normal" including "move server rooms, reinforce supply chains, and reposition those backup generators." That said, some companies have already started making steps to not just protecting themselves but making their enterprises more sustainable. For instance Unilever and Walmart have pledged to cut greenhouse emissions and Microsoft | [

Grist on farmers' fair share Farmers are not getting what they deserve when they take their product to market. This has to do with the consolidation of the food system, and therefore: "food producers, who often can’t reach consumers directly and have a desperately hard time getting a fair price for their products when there are only one or two buyers." Americans are getting their cheap food, it seems, but at the price of the livelihood of farmers. That said, "it’s also a triumph of the conservative vision of a 'better them than us' economy as opposed to the progressive vision that we’re all in this together."
The Los Angeles Times on Ken Burns' Dust Bowl Dan Turner writes about what he learned about climate change from Ken Burns' documentary The Dust Bowl. He zeroes in on what he really learned: the Dust Bowl was caused by human action. That fact is "cause for reflection" as what we're heading toward could be worse. "Today, with global temperatures rising, record-setting heatwaves, droughts and wildfires sweeping the West and powerful storms afflicting the East, it's apparent that we're doing it again," he writes. | [

Stray Cat Blues Found Stray Kittens - Help!
Caring for Kittens and Mom Growing kittens need more calories per pound than normal adult cats. When lactating, breeding cats may also need up to four times more calories than usual, to provide for their fast-growing young.
Catching a mother cat and her kittens requires patience, and possibly a trap. The easiest way to prevent this is to catch the stray and make a trip to the veterinarian to have her sterilized. Then you can keep her as a pet, ask the vet to help rehome her, or place her back where you found her.

10,001,671 | Silk can improve your skin, appearance, and overall health. Make this affordable luxury a beauty mainstay.
Silk underwear — or silk anything, really — is a small luxury, but it has big benefits. The soft, strong substance not only makes great protection for a silkworm’s pupal stage but also has tremendous effects on women’s health. When spun into sheets, pajamas, and scarves, silk may help ease menopausal hot flashes, prevent the effects of aging, and relieve certain skin conditions. Read on to find out more about why silk may be the other fabric of our lives.
Hot flashes, that sudden warmth in the face, neck, and chest, are among the most common — and uncomfortable — symptoms of menopause. They’re caused by fluctuating hormones and by a lower threshold for heat that occurs as women age, says Charla Blacker, MD, an obstetrician-gynecologist at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit. For the 75 to 85 percent of women who suffer from this women’s health issue, she suggests sleeping in light, breathable silk pajamas or on cool silk sheets to help turn down the heat.
The tightly-woven, smooth fibers of silk help keep moisture close to the skin, says Jennifer Peterson, MD, a dermatologist at the Dermatology & Laser Surgery Center in Houston. When you wake up after sleeping on a silk pillowcase, your face will be better hydrated than if you slept on cotton. This is a great beauty tip for those with dry, flaky skin. As a bonus, she says, hydrated, plump skin cells show fewer fine lines (wrinkles!) and more luminosity than dehydrated skin cells.
"Multiple studies have pointed to the antimicrobial properties of a special European silk fabric called DermaSilk," Dr. Peterson says. Dermasilk differs from regular silk in that it's free of sericin, a protein produced by the silkworm. Sericin and other protein or bacteria can aggravate eczema and other skin conditions, so antimicrobial agents help skin stay clear and free of irritation. "One particular study showed improvements in patients with the skin condition eczema who used Dermasilk, but not in those who used cotton," she adds.
Additionally, because it is composed of long, smooth, natural fibers tightly woven together, silk helps decrease skin | [

In the area of women’s health, new Italian research shows that silk underwear may reduce itching and redness associated with recurrent vaginal yeast infections. Half of study participants wore briefs made from Dermasilk, and the other half wore cotton. After six months, 90 percent of the silk group had fewer symptoms, and recurrences were decreased by 50 percent. “DermaSilk’s antimicrobial properties and unique fiber weaving prevent it from accumulating too much moisture, one of the risk factors for recurrent vaginal yeast infections,” Peterson says.
According to the National Center for Sleep Disorders Research at the National Institutes of Health, 30 to 40 percent of Americans have problems sleeping. And experts say that bedding may be at least partly to blame in some of these cases. Sheets that irritate your skin, bunch up, or invite dust mites in will interfere with a good night’s rest. Silk, with all its aforementioned benefits, is the fabric that will dress your bed for the sweetest possible slumber.
“There are also pretty good studies showing that what we call ‘sleep wrinkles’ form on the side of your face on which you sleep,” says Jeffrey Spiegel, MD, a facial plastic surgeon and professor at Boston University. One way to prevent them? Use a silk pillowcase, which is gentler and less likely than cotton to resist the face and cause wrinkles. Talk about beauty sleep! | [

10,001,673 | The No. 37 University of Redlands women's tennis team returned to Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) competition on Saturday morning when it traveled to Pasadena to face the No. 20 Caltech Beavers. Despite some incredible displays of determination on the court, the Bulldogs came up short in a 4-5 decision.
Redlands grabbed a 2-1 lead through the doubles with positive results at Nos. 1 and 2. After the Beavers won at No. 3, the Bulldogs saw sophomore Karen Kobayashi (Sappora, Japan) and junior Jackie Lacy (Palm Desert, CA) prevail in an exciting 8-7 (3) performance on the second court. The top tandem of senior Elizabeth Johnson (Portland, OR) and first-year Halle Martinucci (Burlingame, CA) also battled to win in a tiebreaker, 8-7 (5).
Despite the Bulldogs' slight 2-1 lead, the momentum shifted away from them in singles, as the Beavers snagged a 4-2 advantage with straight-set wins along the top half of the lineup.
Nonetheless, senior Kate Dolan (St. Louis, MO) kept Redlands in the mix with her 7-6, 6-0 victory at the No. 6 slot.
However, Caltech mustered the deciding point at No. 5 before Bulldog sophomore Lexi Lehman (Scottsdale, AZ) tallied a 6-2, 7-5 win at No. 4.
Redlands (4-9, 1-1 SCIAC) welcomes No. 35 Gustavus Adolphus College (MN) to Verdieck Courts on Tuesday, April 2, for a 4 p.m. tilt. | [

10,001,675 | I’ve been doing so much reflecting lately trying to figure out what changes I need to make in my life to align it truthfully with my soul, but it hasn’t really helped. More than anything I feel that my wheels are just spinning but not getting anywhere.
When we aren’t happy with something we want it to change immediately (I know I do), but sometimes it is tricky when you know what you want to move away from but you’re not sure what you want to move into. So often it seems it is easier to know what you don’t want than what you do want. You can watch or read about as many manifestation tips as you can, but if you aren’t clear what your desires are, how can we apply these tips to our lives?
It is hard to take a step back when you are unhappy with something but, as I am learning, becoming preoccupied with a problem and thus overthinking it is not exactly conducive to a solution.
I think our paths through life are winding ones that loop this way and that. It gives you experiences that you wouldn’t have if you were on a straight path to your ultimate chosen destination or goal. That’s the essence of adventure, right? You can’t have adventure without some discomfort and you definitely can’t have adventure without the unknown.
Don’t be hard on yourself if you haven’t figured it all out. Don’t compare yourself to these people who seem to be able to manifest everything they want (it’s never that simple, as I am sure they would tell you).
Be open to adventure and the things you will discover. And when something feels really crap (as it inevitably will at some point in your life), keep pushing forward and remember that ‘this too shall pass’. Each twist and turn, each peak and valley on your path of life will add more colour, depth and richness to your soul.
It might be scary to just wander the path and see where it takes you, especially if you fear that you won’t ever achieve the dreams that you want. If you have a vision, great! Keep working towards it. But, for those of us who are confused about our life’s direction (whether because you don’t know what you want, you feel you’ve hit a road bump | [

10,001,680 | I was thinking of you yesterday, knowing that it was the day that you were taking the oath as the 112th Supreme Court Justice. And I extend my best wishes as you begin what, I imagine, will be a long tenure as a member of the highest court in the land.
Much has been made of your religion. Within our community, of course, there has been a surge of pride as we watched one of our own expertly and deftly handle the confirmation process. We have read with interest of your insistence to publicly mark your coming-of-age at a time and in a place where such things were not done. Your Bat Mitzvah service was the first one held in your shul and had a profound and lasting effect on its approach to ritual participation of women.
I was, therefore, especially disappointed in the day selected for you to take your oath . On a Saturday. On Shabbat. With the Court about to break for recess, timeliness was a concern. And yet I wonder why the oath could not have been administered on Friday.
Though your childhood synagogue would certainly be described as such, you do not claim to be an Orthodox Jew. You do, however, consider yourself to be a Conservative Jew. Conservative Judaism affirms the role that Halakha plays in daily life, while recognizing the need to understand them in our own day. The Conservative Movement continues to view Shabbat observance as a major tenet of Jewish life, but has sought to make it more observable within a reasonable, yet firm, framework. For example, in 1960, the Committee on Jewish Law and Standards adopted a takkanah regarding the issue of driving on Shabbat. Asserting that “the Sabbath cannot function as the great day of the Lord unless we consciously “make a fence around it”. The most important of the fences we must make to safeguard the Sabbath as an oasis of peace and of holiness is the avoidance of travel,” the Committee ruled that modern circumstances have placed congregants in a further proximity from the synagogue than in earlier times. Since there is a positive value in attending shul on Shabbos and most folks no longer live within walking distance, the law was relaxed in order to encourage the community to come together weekly. For the purpose of worship.
With three Jewish Justices now sitting on the Bench, there is no question that we have been accepted in the general society | [

10,001,681 | . Our contributions are valued and we benefit from the many freedoms which you now protect on behalf of all citizens. Imagine the precedent that would have been set had you said, “even though I am not a Halakhic Jew, I still recognize the historical and religious sanctity of the Jewish Sabbath” and insist that the swearing-in be held on a day other than a Saturday.
Again, b’hatzlacha and mazal tov on this auspicious undertaking and take to heart the words spoken to Joshua on the precipice of his new role as Israel’s leader: חֲזַק וֶאֱמָץ — Be strong and of good courage.
Thanks for writing this post Sarah and be sure to include it in next week’s Haveil Havalim.
Thanks! I will certainly submit it. I can’t imagine that I was the only one to have this reaction. Though I may be one of the few in the liberal community who would have preferred that the oath was not administered on Shabbat. Am I right?
I sincerely hope that you are not one oft he few in the liberal community who disagrees; it would be too depressing.
Aw, that’s so nice of you to say. Thanks for the compliment.
Since I am not certain whether Justice Kagan is a regular reader of Frume Sarah’s World (though she is missing a great deal if she is not!), I would urge you to send this letter directly to her at her office at the United States Supreme Court. I would be interested in reading her response.
Mom? Is that you?? Have you hijacked Zayde’s email account??
The Supreme Court does not receive comments via email so I will have to send on my thoughts the old-fashioned way. I will certainly report back if I hear anything.
I am with you on this on 100%! Please keep us all informed on the Justice’s response. | [

10,001,685 | Splendid China Folk Park is made up of two parks- Splendid China Miniature Village and China Folk Culture Village. Both contain very few rides in the sense thought of in connection with theme parks, but rather they are examples of themed and immersive landscaping, building and entertainment.
Shenzhen as a city in China has a particular significance as it was the first Special Economic Zone (SEZ). Created in 1980, the SEZs represented an experiment by the Chinese government to accelerate economic growth in the zone by giving special tax benefits and preferential treatment to foreign investment. In order to attract tourism, Shenzhen has a dense concentration of themed parks and immersive experiences.
The entrance to Window on the World. Much like the rest of the park, the entrance mixes styles of architectural and visual arts without regard to their congruence in the outside world. Here visitors can see reproductions of famous statues from the Classical Era mixed with Hindu and Buddhist statues.
The scale of the architectural reproductions varies significantly. Two major landmarks from Paris- the Eiffel Tower and the Champs Élysées are the two largest, and serve to orientate visitors.

10,001,688 | According to the D.lgs 54/2011 a toy is any object projected or aimed, exclusively or not, to be used by children below 14 years old.
More and more often in Italy, or at its border, the police confiscate counterfeited or not in conformity toys. For this reason it is important to be careful when buying a toy, in order to protect the health of the children.
In particular, the CE marking is put on the toy by the producer ( or mandatory), under his responsibility, and states that the toy has been produced in conformity with EU and national rules. However, it is a presumed conformity, because the producer auto-certifies the conformity. Sometimes the CE marking is not sufficient to guarantee the toy safety, because very often the same CE marking is counterfeited. It is therefore necessary to check that the mark is indelible, visible, readable and no smaller than 5 mm.
2. the mark “IMQ” of the Institute for the quality of electrical products.
These marks strengthen the guarantee that the product bought is good, because they indicate that the toy has been tested ( electrical tests, chemical analysis, infiammability tests…). | [

My studio dont even load de website, and i think its because this error. How can i fix this?
That error is why Studio isn’t loading for you.
Your site has “X-Frame-Options” set to “SAMEORIGIN” in the HTTP response header, this setting prevents your site from being loaded within an iframe that isn’t from the same domain as the page itself. This is causing problems in the Mobify Studio Editor because that is exactly what it’s trying to do. The Mobify Studio Editor takes your site and tries to load it into an iFrame.
If you can disable that setting in your header that should resolve the issue. Alternatively, disabling web security in Chrome/Chromium, then loading the Studio Editor again may solve the problem as well. More on that can be found on Stackoverflow.
Another option would be to enable the tag proxy from the settings page for your project. This will run your page through our tag proxy, which will result in an HTTP header that doesn’t have X-frame-options set to sameorigin.
This setting is only used from within Studio, enabling it will not affect your site once it has been launched. | [

10,001,694 | In late November 2017, Image Threads Collective conducted an intensive four day photobook workshop at the Fototeca de Cuba – the national photography museum. We worked closely with a group of students to provide a detailed analysis of their individual projects, and bagan to lay the foundations of developing these projects in the physical form of the book. Daily, we conducted group discussions, photo editing exercises, and direct 1-on-1 feedback sessions. Students hopefully left the workshop with a heightened understanding of both how the photobook itself can function, as well as how to develop and produce a photobook dummy of their own body of work.
The Fototeca de Cuba was created in 1986 to preserve, study and promote the country’s photographic patrimony and create a space for the promotion of international photography. The Fototeca is an archive with a vast and valuable collection of documents; it is also a museum with the widest and most valuable collection of Cuban photography known and it functions as a gallery with rooms for temporary exhibitions in which works that do not belong to the permanent collection are generally exhibited. Another important function of the Fototeca is its educational role. The institution regularly holds conferences, courses and workshops – both practical and theoretical – on a national level but also sometimes with foreign guests. The Fototeca is responsible for promoting Cuban photography abroad while at the same time putting the Cuban public in contact with photography from other countries. Finally, it is important to highlight the Fototeca’s work in the promotion of young talent both within and outside the country, its support for the development of national photography, its support for national and provincial events and its awarding of prizes in photography competitions held in Cuba. The Fototeca is located in an 18th century colonial-style building in Havana’s Plaza Vieja. | [

10,001,695 | It's not the smoothest design we've seen, but Eeowave nonetheless deserves praise for the Ribbon's idiosyncratic concept and functionality.
No battery option. Only two CV outputs.
Some pieces of music gear scream quality and artisan craftsmanship the second you pull them out of their packaging. The Eowave Ribbon isn't one of them.
That's not to say this is a badly made piece of gear, but there's no getting around the fact that what we have here is essentially a two-foot long block of clear plastic with a black plastic strip along its length. It's admittedly solidly built, but it's not exactly pretty.
"First and foremost, it's a very basic monophonic digital synth"
The Ribbon is three things in one. First and foremost, it's a very basic monophonic digital synth, with pitch controlled by your finger's position on the ribbon, volume controlled by your finger's pressure, and frequency modulation controlled by the separate tactile pressure pad. Sound output is via a mini-jack socket.
Secondly, it's a USB MIDI controller, configurable via a Max-based editor. Each of the three control elements - ribbon position and pressure, plus tactile pad pressure - can be assigned to MIDI controls. Alternatively, it's a CV controller with two CV outputs (also via the audio socket). There are a couple of downsides to this flexibility.
The unit can only take power from the USB port, meaning you always need it plugged into a computer or USB power supply even if you're only using the synth or CV functions. A battery option would surely make sense.
Also, there are only two CV outputs despite the controller being capable of three parameters. It'd be nice to be able to use the ribbon position for oscillator pitch, ribbon pressure as a gate to trigger envelopes, and still have the tactile pad CV output to control maybe something like a cutoff of a filter. | [

10,001,697 | At Laurelhurst Chiropractic, we pride ourselves in being your go-to Portland chiropractor for all your spinal health and wellness needs. One of the more common reasons patients come into our office is to seek pain relief treatment, particularly during the winter months when chronic pain often becomes problematic.
Do You Suffer From Chronic Pain During the Winter in Portland?
If you suffer from chronic pain during the frigid winter months, you're not alone. There are many potential reasons that you may suffer from pain during the winter, but for many, it has to do with the impact the cold, dry air has on the bones, joints, and muscles. Cold temperatures have a tendency to make objects contract, and this even applies to bones, muscles, and skin. This is exactly why, if you wear a ring on your hand, you may notice that it fits more loosely in the winter months and more snugly during the summer.
This, combined with the decrease in activity levels that many experience during the colder months, can really wreak havoc on the body and lead to chronic, widespread pain. Specifically, many patients experience ongoing neck and back pain that may become severe enough to affect their everyday lives.
Before you turn to medications or more invasive treatment options to find pain relief, why not try treating the root of the problem with natural chiropractic care in our office? | [

10,001,698 | “You have cancer.” Nothing prepares you for those 3 awful words.
I’ve seen plenty of shows, read countless books, and unfortunately have heard through the grapevine a few “older” folks battling the dreaded C. However, to hear those three words at 32 years young and being the person on the receiving end is an absolutely surreal moment. In fact, I’m pretty sure I blacked out. Nothing prepares you.
I tried to listen to what the doctor was telling me, desperately trying to keep calm when all I wanted to do was scream, cry and run as far away from that sterile room as possible. I walked around in a daze that awful day and for the coming weeks. Trying to keep it together at work and not to break down in front of clients or colleagues. I didn’t want to tell yet because I didn’t have any details to share except for the awful diagnosis. At that point, I couldn’t bear the questions or even saying it out loud. I have cancer. Nothing prepares you.
Back to that particularly awful day. I remember walking around the city on that beautiful day, getting home and sitting in my apartment just utterly stunned. I was unable to speak and in disbelief of the news. For the weeks that followed, it was like an endless abyss of stress. There was so much, too much to absorb and take action on. The endless exams, consults, appointments, poking, prodding, and choices. From the type of treatment, to ways to receive the chemo (port or IV?), to fertilization preservation, to deciding sequences of treatment- surgery first or later, the list went on and I was all of a suddenly on the biggest deadline of my life.They were all truly life – changing choices I was forced to make in no time at all. Nothing prepares you.
I felt helpless, knowing the cancer was there but I couldn’t do anything but wait. I googled endlessly even though everyone told me not to and I can’t remember how many nights I laid awake just shaking with fear and anxiety, not knowing what was to come. That was the worst. When the reality finally caught up to me, the floodgates opened and I felt like the tears would never stop. I just couldn’t stop crying. I cried for the loss of a certain innocence and outlook on life. I | [
