It’s an exciting time for the Fellowship of Isis (FOI) Chicago community—a network of FOI-chartered Lyceums, Iseums, and Temples dedicated to Polytheistic outreach and to carrying the ideological torches of Goddess worship, eco-spirituality, and interfaith ambassadorship as envisioned by co-founders Olivia Robertson, Lawrence Durdin-Robertson, and Pamela Durdin-Robertson in 1976—as we’ve lined up quite a roster of public ritual and educational events for the next few months. The biggest news is that our annual Goddess Convention, traditionally held at Autumn Equinox and which draws FOI members (and friends from related groups) from a variety of countries to convene in Chicago, is having its quarter-century anniversary this year! That’s 25 years of uninterrupted public festival service to the broader Pagan and occult communities; for my part, it’s been a very exciting 16 years of commitment, as I participated in my first FOI Goddess Convention back in 2002.
The purpose of the Convention is to energetically channel one major magico-spiritual theme and let it loose upon the world, anchored by the Deities Who are evoked to make that magic manifest. The theme is typically drawn from whichever of the late Rt. Rev. Lady Olivia Robertson’s written Divine Liturgy ceremonies, published in a variety of booklets for FOI clergy training, is performed. I’m pleased to announce that after our Chicago community’s voting process, the Divine Liturgy and thus the theme determined for this special 25th year is “The Mystical Awakening of Scorpio and Kundalini,” which is the ninth ritual from the clergy booklet Sophia, Cosmic Consciousness of the Goddess.
This Year’s Divine Liturgy / Main Ritual
Adhering to the well-known occult dictum, as expounded in the Emerald Tablet, of “As Above, So Below; As Within, So Without,” the effect of the kundalini awakening that the ritual engenders certainly transcends the personal sphere. Indeed, the evocation of Shakti as the Activating Principle of the Cosmos will ripple out through all the Worlds.
The ritual pays homage with religious devotion to Shakti and Lord Shiva as well as the Kemetic Deities Selket (She of the scorpion crown) and Ra. Additionally, each attendee will be alchemically initiated through the Mysteries of Scorpio via the constellation’s panoply of sacred fixed stars (especially Antares, the “heart” of the Scorpion), which the ancient Egyptians regarded as the oldest repository of souls.
The Mystery Play of this ritual narrates the ancient tale of the goddess Isis’ incarnation as a nursemaid among the court of the ancient Queen Astarte of Byblos, and Her (Isis’) attempt at gifting the child of the Queen with Immortality through Fire.
Fielding Workshops for the Day’s Event
In a spirit of esoteric knowledge-sharing for the broader metaphysical community, the Fellowship of Isis Chicago invites worldwide FOI members (clergy and laity) and friends from other occult organizations, hermetic traditions, etc. to consider leading a half-hour workshop to add to the spiritual energies of the day. The workshops may take the form of formal or informal presentations, meditations, yoga or dance activities, and short rituals. For example, last year our friends from the Chicago-based Aum-Ha Lodge of the O.T.O. had members present a wonderful chaos magic ritual that was aligned with the seasonal energies of Libra and the principle of ma’at.
For myself, I know I’m going to lead a workshop on the Kemetic goddess Selket, One of the Four Hallowed Protectors of the Dead, according to the third-millennium BCE Pyramid Texts (the other Three Protectors evoked in the Texts’ prayers being Isis, Nephthys, and Neith). If you plan on attending and you’d like to consider submitting a workshop idea, email me at jackalmoondesigns@gmail.com or Archpriestess Demetria Nanos at hail_isis@yahoo.com.
Location and Registration Information
The annual Convention takes place on Saturday, September 22, 2018, at the main conference room/banquet hall of The Holiday Inn Chicago-Skokie, located at 5300 Touhy Ave. in Skokie.Doors open at 9:30 a.m. and the Convention lasts until 7 p.m. The hotel is an easy drive from O’Hare Airport as well as accessible by major mass transit routes. For out-of-town guests, a special room rate will be offered. The parking lot has abundant, free parking spaces for those driving in.
Advanced registration from now until September 8 is being offered for $50 and can be paid via PayPal to hail_isis@yahoo.com. Please mention “Goddess Convention Registration” in your comment. Otherwise, the rate is $60 after September 8 or at the door on the day of the event. Light refreshments will be provided throughout the day but participants will be given a 90-minute lunch break to dine at area restaurants within walking distance.
The event will also feature local vendors of metaphysical supplies (stores like Alchemy Arts) and services (Tarot readings and the like). If you’d like to participate as a vendor, please contact Demetria Nanos at hail_isis@yahoo.com or call her at 773-505-1724.
Come help the Chicago FOI community celebrate its quarter-century anniversary of the Goddess Convention and support of the Chicago Pagan and occult communities and ring in the Autumn Equinox with fun, fellowship, transformative community ritual, learning, meditation, shopping, and much more!
I hope to see you there!

Getting frustrated I did all that troubleshooting to no avail. Even on campaign all faces show no features and are black. Doesn't even show my gun or crosshair or HUD. Had the game since December map pack for a few weeks now and this happened out of nowhere
yet mw3 with dlc and halo with dlc work fine. Please help or refund
Did this solve your problem?
Sorry this didn't help.
Great! Thanks for marking this as the answer.
How satisfied are you with this reply?
Thanks for your feedback, it helps us improve the site.
How satisfied are you with this response?
Thanks for your feedback.
Hi I am assuming this is for BLOPS2 and I would suggest going to the Blops forum as it is down to them to sort out refunds if that is what you want, But I will offer a suggestion for you though, try and delete the map packs and delete the cache and then
just try and run the game by itself to see if it runs ok, before deleting the cache you could also delete and redownload the latest update delete cache before redownloading and try that, if the game works without the maps try and reinastall the maps, if it
is still the same maybe try running the maps and profile from a flash drive just to see if you get the same affect, if so it could be a problem betwwen their update and the maps bring it up on their forum and make them aware of it.
I hope this helps

Hello,
We have developed BDC for mass upload of Service Masterdata in MDG client.
Once we run BDC, data is getting created in MDG and MDG UI.
Finally to replicate data manually to ECC client from MDG, what is the transaction code used ( Like BD10-Material; BD12-Vendor)and detail me the steps to transfer Idoc between two different clients.
Regards,
Anil Raj
I believe the transaction is AC08 (if you're talking about the MM-SRV service master and not about the material of material type DIEN).The rest is plain standard ALE.
You already have an active moderator alert for this content.
Thank you Ingo.

Hi,
this DCP process is very cumbersome, apologies for that. Honestly it is better to convert to WebI where possible..
unfortunately, this could be an installation issue where the registry has got messed up or there could be a problem with the file association if it's coming from another cluster. in which case, maybe your IT can resolve it, perhaps with input from our technical support services.
I notice from your error message that you might be trying to open a document into the desktop directly? to keep things simple, can you just launch the desktop application let it initialize? then log into your new 4.2 server and browse the document repository that way? what happens then?
Regards, H
Hi,Henry Banks
We must use Desktop, because the customer wants to work with Desktop. It is mandatory. I have tried to connect with 4.2 client and 3.1 client but we cannot connect using desktop intelligence.
If I search the report in the server into the BI Launch Pad we cannot modify, in release 3.1 you can execute and modify a desktop report into infoview.
Hi,
To confirm - there is a desktop 'thick client' for WebIntelligence too: in BI4.x, if you change your WebI editing preferences in BILaunchpad to 'Desktop' then when you click Edit in Launchpad, it invokes the desktop-client in 3-tier mode (i.e. using data processing on the server-side) or you can switch the 2-tier mode and work locally on the desktop only. Note that you'll need to install the Client Tools package on the desktop terminal first.
Please be aware BOE XI 3.1 will reach the end of Priority One Support Phase on 31.12.2018, at which time, the DCP will not be supported in BI4 either.
For all other efforts to resolve your installation/connectivity issue, I strongly recommend you contact Product Support via an incident ticket (this is the correct process to help your troubleshoot this customer-specific issue)
kind regards, H
We have two clients in the PC, 3.1 125293-busobj-dll.pngt. If we try to execute 4.2 client we have the image error.
But if we try to connect through 3.1 desktop intelligence the tool "disappear", we connect to the server and the session
automatically is finished.
what is the sequence of BO clients installation?
have you installed BO 3.1 first and then BO 4.2 clinet?
I am using BI 4.2 SP5 ( Server),I am trying to use DCP .
Trying to login to DCP ( BI 3.1 SP7.4) client tool to connect to BI 4.2 SP5
After entering the credentials in DCP - Application gets disappeared. In normal case with previous version it flashed and comes back again where as in BI 4.2 SP5 - it disapperes
busobj.exe file gets disappeared in the task manager as well.
Does SAP BI 4.2 SP5 supports DCP ?
Sequence of installation.
BI 4.2 SP 5 client and then BI 3.1 SP7 client
Almost same issue here ...
Just upgraded from BI 4.2 Client SP3 to SP5 to follow serveur update.
- Before upgrade : DCP was working fine either on Windows 7 and Windows 10 (with a little trick)
- After upgrade to Client SP5 and force copy of previously working busobj.exe /dll/tlb ... .: Error
?OpenDocumentFile@CBOMultiDocTemplate@@UAEPAVCDocument@@PB_WH@Z est introuvable dans la bibliothèque de liens dynamiques bofcui.dll.
Same situation DCP is mandatory in my company.
Please don't explain

Rumha Bali, stayed here a few weeks ago, its really nice. Its typical Balinese accomodation in South Bali about half an hour from the airport not far from Nusa Dua & the beach. They give you a sumptuous breakfast on your porch if you want or in the restaurant. They operate on an site cookery school in Balinese cooking and an authentic Balinese restaurant up the road called Bumba Bali. You can have lunch & dinner room service from the restaurant or book a table at the restaurant where they have an hours Balinese dancing entertainment at night from 8pm-9pm. On site they have a large swimming pool, a tennis court and you can have a Balinese massage. It is quite a large complex and a little dark & confusing at night till you get your orientation. If you're accommodated at the back, their driver can collect you from and leave you at a nearby back entrance.
The owners operate a scheme to help the men (& their families) who do back breaking work up a volcano to collect sulphur for a pittance. They have a life expectancy of 45 so if you have any clothes you would like to discard if you wish to stay here, please bring them & Heinz, the owner will pass them on to these people. They have internet access at reception. They operate airport transfers and a reduction for a return one.

But…don’t you have to fly them (Virgin Atlantic) again on the way home? So sorry! Truly enjoyed your post, though, if it’s any consolation!

Yes, yes. We do have to fly back out of Jordan with them. (UGH.) That didn’t occur to me until I posted. But I stand by the post- it’s not my decision to give them business. But thanks for reading Mrs. Teich!! Glad you liked it 🙂

What can I say. Virgin suck. I used to love Virgin but have had 3 flights in a row with flight crew that fail to understand they are providing a service and it is not a privilege for paying customers to be on Virgin planes! I have lost complete confidence with Virgin due to their rude cabin crew and subsequently they have now lost my business and that of my family! Vote with your feet and cash people and use any other airline. Especially for those heavily populated and hugely profitable transatlantic flights.
Also don’t forget BA and Virgin ripped off it’s customers by fixing prices!
Andy
May 29, 2012 at 4:06 pm
Virgin Atlantic, in my opinion are the worst transatlantic carrier around today. The crew (well the majority!) are so full of themselves for some unknown reason. Seems donning that cheap red polyester uniform gives them the right to give you attitude. I quit flying with them years ago out of LHR. The were good once, but that was along time ago. The Virgin brand doesn’t mean anything in today’s economy. Just another failing corporation.
Jake
July 3, 2012 at 6:01 pm
Definately BMI all the way – it’s just a shame they don’t fly many transatlantic routes. You cannot compare BMI business class to the ‘coffin’ like seating and set up of Virgin’s ‘upper class’ VAA sucks!!!!!!!!
Jake
July 3, 2012 at 6:07 pm
Sorry to hear you had a bad experience with Virgin. I work as crew. There is no excuse for rudeness like you describe. However…. the seat belts on aircraft are really not ridiculous. If you encounter clear air turbulence or severe turbulence generally you will experience negative gravity. With you’re seat belt on you will feel strain against it, with your seatbelt off you could hit the ceiling, other passengers etc.
MM
September 17, 2012 at 6:28 pm
+1 to MM who is being gentle with the safety reasons of having a seat belt on while sleeping.
God forbid but if the aircraft experiences sudden decompression for whatever reasons (like being hit by a falling meteorite… you never know, you might get lucky) you don’t want to find yourself trying to grow wings at 37,000 ft.
The rest of it, yeah maybe VA should take notice and try to improve. Like they are going to?

Symptom
You are not able to create a new change project out of a change test system, the New button is grey-out.
Or
You have requested a Test tenant in place of Production tenant. Hence, you cannot close First Implementation project which is in tested phase.
Now, your requirement is to create a new Change Project with this Test Tenant.
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to Business Configuration work center.
- Go to Implementation Projects view.

It is also not possible to change your Test Tenant to Production Tenant. You have following options:

To edit an Activity:
1. In the Productive system, Go to Overview view of Business Configuration work center, search and highlight the Activity. Select Change Immediately button and perform the required changes. Some activities can be changed only using change Project.
2. If you want to test the changes before deploying it into the Productive system then, create a new change project in productive system and add this activity. Use "Copy Solution profile" to move the change Project from Productive to Test system. Perform the change, test it and merge the Change project back to productive system.
To Change the scoping:
Scoping can be changed only using Change Project after Go-Live.
The Sequence to Test a scoping or fine tuning with the help of Test System is as follows:

2. Add the Fine tuning activity into the change Project.
3. Go to Service Control center work center.
4. Systems view.

It’s all about the stars, baby! It’s all about those 4 and 5-star future All-Americans who will catapult your favorite college football team to a national championship. Collecting a stable of primetime players may be easy for coaches like Urban Meyer and Nick Saban but that kind of success on the recruiting trail just isn’t the reality of the situation for the majority of coaches. If your team isn’t considered to be a football blue-blood, success is going to be a process that is built upon 2 and 3-star recruits who will need time to be developed.
But success can be achieved with these so-called “diamonds in the rough.” It’s not an easy path to success, but it can and has been done. Rivals and 247 don’t have crystal balls that will clue us into who these diamonds in the rough will be. Even the most experienced coaching staffs can’t predict which of their less heralded recruits will lead their teams to divisional and conference championships.
With today being National Signing Day, let’s take a look back and some 2 and 3-star recruits from the past who proved to have significant impacts on the field.
Marcus Mariota was barely recruited before signing with Oregon. He was a 3-star recruit with two scholarship offers. Oregon and Memphis. That was it. All Mariota did was lead Oregon to an appearance in the 2015 National Championship game and he won the 2014 Heisman Trophy. Not bad for a recruit who struggled to receive offers.
I can’t imagine Michigan State fans were waiting with eager anticipation for the day a 2-star running back recruit with offers from Bowling Green, Eastern Michigan, and Marshall would step on the field for them. All Le’Veon Bell did in his Spartan career was rush for 3,346 yards and 33 touchdowns. In his junior season, before leaving early for the NFL, Bell rushed for 1,793 yards and 12 touchdowns. He proved to be more talented than a 2-star recruit with mid-major offers.
Missouri’s Charles Harris makes Bell look like a highly sought after recruit. Harris excelled on the high school basketball court and had barely played any football prior to Missouri offering him a scholarship. His options were Northern Iowa, Missouri Western and Pittsburg State. In his three-year career, Harris recorded 18 sacks, 34.5 tackles-for-loss and forced 5 fumbles.
Jordy Nelson committed to Kansas State as a 2-star safety prospect. His options were Kansas State and Kansas but even those weren’t legitimate options. Neither coaching staff was willing to provide a scholarship offer to Nelson so he attended Kansas State as a walk-on. Nelson holds the Kansas State record for most receiving yards in a single season and is 2nd all-time in career receiving yardage. Not bad for a high school player that nobody wanted.
Gaines Adams was a 3-star tight end recruit who chose Clemson over Michigan State, North Carolina, Virginia, and Virginia Tech. Compared to the others on this list, Adams offer list made him look like a blue-chip recruit. Not only was he not a blue-chip recruit, tight end wasn’t even his ultimate position. Adams became a first team All-American and ACC Defensive Player of the Year in 2006.
As fans, we like to get all worked up over National Signing Day. How many 4 and 5-star recruits has our team collected? Which kids pulled a signing day surprise and left our team at the alter? Which players did our team’s coaching staff manage to flip? It can be an entertaining soap opera to follow, but none of us have a clue as to how the story will unfold.
My advice to you is this – Have fun with recruiting, but don’t become so invested in it that a signing class ruins your day. None of us will know the verifiable quality of this recruiting class for another few years. Enjoy the ride, because who knows, maybe your team has a diamond-in-the-rough buried in this recruiting class.

Welcome to the Ars OpenForum.
Arduino board uses quad-core ARM CPU for the power of "4 Raspberry Pis."Read the whole story
I saw this on Kickstater last week and I'm definitely going to pledge. I have three RasPis, but this thing will be even more amazing.
So cool! I want one. Even if I know I'll probably bang my head against the wall trying to turn it into a FemBot.
Interesting, so how open source will the graphics driver be?
Surely three Raspberry Pis ought to be enough for anybody.
Well, now this looks like it could easily be my next HTPC. My biggest issue with the PI is how laggy the interface is - it just seems to be a -stitch- short in computing power to both run the video AND the interface. With a quad core processor though, it should be more than sufficient.
On the one hand this looks awesome and pretty much like what I wished the RPi had to begin with.On the other hand, the four-letter uppercase nonsense-word name "UDOO" just gives me horrible OUYA comparisons....
Why OR? I run both on my smartphone, if you're designing something from the ground up you could easily build it so you have Linux in chroot and have an X11 video buffer available in the Android system so that you could use GUI Linux apps.
The dual A9 will easily be 'as powerful' as 4 Raspberry Pi machines. The Pi uses a pretty weak ARM11 processor, an A9 will typically give >2x the IPC, and probably will also have a higher clock. The quad version (if you can find uses for all 4 cores) would be a lot more then 4x as fast relative to the Pi.
Nice to see a SATA connector, as the lack of such was holding me back from getting a APC board).
While I like the concept, I don't see a whole lot of benefit for MOST applications over a traditional computer. Everyone has a laptop now a days and a duo costs $30. What you are essentially paying for is a dedicated Arduino computer.
Looks like a very nice board and easy to interface toSheetsThey haven't said if they are using the auto , consumer or industrial version.good news is an opencl driverWith heatsink and fan should make 1.2GHz
thread on the opencl support like most porting work has been done already in other projects (for ubuntu and others).Possibly dual display support ?
My God. Kids are going to be so much smarter than me at my age now.
Unfortunately, it looks like they copied the stupid Arduino header layout, with one group of headers offset by half a pin spacing. This means you can't use a normal protoboard or breadboard, only "Arduino" boards. Someone please tell me my eyes are just playing tricks on me?
frankly, as long as it can run xbmc substantially better than an rpi (and the rpi runs it perfectly well, just a little slow in the gui and maybe not perfect with the emulators), it'll sell easily in the 100k units range. even at 109...i suppose the real show stopper might be how much power it uses, and what the cost will be for the PS.
power supply is just a 12V 2A plug pack so power draw is less than 20W (more like 5 to 10w)
Reality check ...ODROID-XODROID-X2ODROID-UODROID-U2Take".)
I want one! I love that it has a built in LVDS port.
THANK YOU for not putting "Pi's" in the subtitle!
I actually wish the Raspberry Pi foundation would occasionally go after these kinds of claims by reminding authors of the trademark status of "Raspberry Pi" and that it is not a generic term for "cheap ARM SBC".
So how do I get the Linux/android side to understand what the Arduino side is doing and vice versa? (Yes, I'm a very very inexperienced "coder")It seems like having virtual IO ports on the Arduino side that you can piing using a wrapper (that can be used in that nice openframework toolkit perhaps?) would be very friendly to someone like me? | https://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?p=24294219&sid=41034fb8cf89f6f62889f3bb46c394dc | 2018-10-15T17:14:39 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
neck, and back. Liposuction not only offers the opportunity to slim and contour areas of the body by removing the fat cells, it also ensures that these areas will not accumulate fatty deposits in the future.
Dr. Reiffel.
The liposuction procedure usually begins with sedation by a board-certified anesthesiologist, so the patient is not aware during the procedure, but the added risks of general anesthesia are avoided. While the patient is sedated, local anesthesia, composed of saline (salt water), a local anesthetic called lidocaine, and a small amount of adrenaline to decrease bruising and bleeding is injected.
Once this solution has been introduced into the area planned for liposuction treatment, Dr. Reiffel proceeds with the procedure, using thin tubes, called cannulas, to fan out under the skin and remove the fat from the desired areas. By doing the procedure slowly and carefully, and using cannulas especially designed for accuracy and safety, the risks of over-correction, depressions, ridges and other undesirable results are minimized. One or two tiny holes, or access points, are needed for each area treated. The holes are usually hidden in inconspicuous locations, as much as possible.
Patients are put into an elastic garment, which they wear for approximately three weeks. They are allowed to shower the next day and resume normal, light, daily activities. Vigorous activity and sports may be resumed after two or three weeks. | https://artisticplasticsurgeryny.com/procedures/liposuction/ | 2018-10-15T16:57:05 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
This Month A Motley Vision, the first (and still the best!) Mormon arts and culture blog, turns ten years old. To commemorate the occasion, I sent AMV founder William Morris a few questions about the the blog and how it has evolved over the last decade.
Here are his answers:
Scott Hales: Take us back ten years. How did A Motley Vision get its start? What motivated you to create the blog?
William Morris: In early 2004 I found out about Times & Seasons from Clark Goble, who I knew from our mutual participation in the Association for Mormon Letters email list. I quickly became a frequent commenter on T&S. It’s funny — I had known about blogs for years because I work in higher ed PR, but it had never occurred to me to look to blogs to discuss Mormonism, especially since I was most interested in Mormon art, and that need was filled by the AML-list.
Later that spring, the the technology behind the AML-list melted down. Apparently, that got sorted out within a couple of weeks, but I never got the news. So I continued to comment on T&S and the other Mormon blogs that were popping up and before long had decided that the bloggernacle needed a Mormon culture blog. I re-found the AML-list before AMV launched, but the limitations of that technology and format were much more clear to me now that I had experienced the bloggernacle so I went ahead with my plans for AMV.
My motivations were twofold: a) I had things I wanted to say and b) I wanted there to be a place in the bloggernacle specifically dedicated to Mormon literature and art.
SH: AMV is a group blog, but it is also your brainchild. How have your interests, personality, and values shaped the voice of the blog?
WM: I think it’s that simple: AMV represents the nexus of my interests, personality and values. It represents the conversation I want to have. And as I recruited co-bloggers, I reached out to the voices that engaged with and seemed to want to talk to me. But I suppose at the center has always been my conviction that culture is important to Mormonism in the 21st century; that Mormon culture needs a radical middle; and that AMV should be a voice for the radical middle. And, of course, that humor should be deployed whenever possible.

This piece is harder for me to write as it is very personal to me. I suffer from severe anxiety and am continuously trying to get through it and overcome it daily. I have tried so many things, from changing my eating habits to even changing the people I associate with. A bullet journal was something I managed to stumble upon in all my research and it has been a wondrous discovery. It is my calendar, my to-do lists, and journal all wrapped up in one very colourful notebook. A bullet journal is tailored to your needs and can be anything you want it to be. I’m a serious list maker and it helps me feel in control when my anxiety is trying to suffocate me.
An example of just one of my pages dedicated to memories.
Here are a list of some of the lists that I keep:
- To-do (obviously)
- To read
- Television shows to watch
- Movies to watch
- Makeup I want
My movies and television shows to eventually watch.
The list can go on and on, but it is to give you an idea of what you can do. I keep my schedule written out, so I don’t overbook myself. I keep pages for every month to sketch out some of the things I did and don’t want to forget. An important thing to remember is that you don’t have to be an artist to have this journal. It’s used to help you relax and work through your stress and anxieties. It has really helped me and though I’m still going through my anxiety, it helps having something where I can keep everything together and can look back on it with all its colourfulness and calm myself.
It doesn’t take much to start a bullet journal. Any notebook would do, the one I got was from Indigo in Canada. You need some pens, maybe some pencil crayons if you’d like. I’ve seen many people using stamps and washi tape but I haven’t gotten into those … yet. That is all you need, this isn’t something you should find stressful. If it is then it isn’t the right idea for you. You should look forward to adding to it and it should help calm you down when you’re feeling out of sorts with yourself.
I can’t recommend this bullet journal idea enough, it is an amazing idea. There are so many places to draw inspiration from if you’re feeling stumped on what to put on your pages. Pinterest is full of examples!
If you also suffer from anxiety or anything else, always know that you’re not alone. Just because we have this invisible disease doesn’t mean that it isn’t real to us. Believe me, it feels extremely real on the inside.

The hype taken effect.” This is, we think, our point in recent criticisms of Power 2010.
As Martin Kettle spittles today with gleeful ignorance, Harvie’s attempt at a broader view is essential. His point about the Guardian is that it seems content with coverage of Scotland that is not so much ‘the long view’ as the ‘view from far away’. Not quite the same thing. Or regularly more content with Kevin McKenna on glottle-stops – the Guardian as conduit for the Daily (hate) Mail – brilliant.
Harvie writes: .” Thus Kettle can write : “In much tougher times for public spending throughout Europe, those choices are coming home to roost for the SNP. There isn’t the money to pay for it all.”
The Union Dividend can be seen on the streets of Scotland, no doubt Martin. As multi-millionaire and Shadow Chancellor George Osborne said: “We’re all in this.
Not unlike the Policy Forum style which replaced boring old Labour conferences. A month ago a book called What went Wrong, Gordon Brown? arrived from London, about Brown in office: effectively a chronological anthology of Guardian writing about the man. I looked up Scotland in the index, as I tend to do, and got ‘Scotland, Lady’. Another reference to ‘Salmond, Alex’, and that was that. I don’t think this was intentional, and that only makes matters worse. What chance of survival has a consciousness so palpably disordered? A question answered after a fashion by news of financial problems and divestments.
Bus pass to hand, draw breath and look back. Since the 1970s I have as an academic in both the UK and German systems run an empirical analysis of the making of contemporary Britain: going out from the Open University and Tuebingen in the shape of a sequence of books and articles – more logically planned as time went on. In chronological subject-order this began with a doctoral study of politics in Victorian academia (The Lights of Liberalism, Allen Lane, 1976), examined by the formidable Noel Annan. I then turned to national and regional identities within Europe (Scotland and Nationalism, Allen and Unwin, 1976; The Rise of Regional Europe, Routledge, 1993); the political novel (The Centre of Things, Unwin Hyman, 1991), and the culture of the Western industrial littoral (Floating Commonwealth, Oxford, 2008). Contemporary Scottish history (No Gods and Precious Few Heroes: Scotland since 1914, Edward Arnold, 1981), the oil boom of the 1970s which postponed the reckoning (Fool’s Gold, Penguin, 1994) and bringing things up to date was the post-industrial ambitions and economic record of New Labour (Broonland, Verso, 2010). Three Political Quarterly survey essays ought also to be taken into account: ‘The dog that did not bark: English regionalism’ (1991), ‘Was there a British moment?’ (1999) and ‘Bad history’ (2004). These appeared from metropolitan publishers, were well reviewed and, though far from ‘No. 1 Best Seller History’, two have run into four editions. They shape up into a critique, the structure of which can be inferred from my first paragraphs. But now, when more or less complete, its audience – that clever, adaptive clerisy represented by Lord Annan – seemed to dissolve.
The sequence had not been, any more than Carlyle, Ruskin or more recently Raymond Williams and Tom Nairn, a Celtic dismissal of the common identities within these islands; rather, an attempt to update and reinterpret them. But now it seems to be acquiring, without any prompting from me, what Nairn had said The Centre of Things still needed: ‘the sense of an ending’. For there was a political parallel. In 1986 the BBC asked me to revive the Scottish devolution issue in a TV documentary ‘Grasping the Thistle’ which inaugurated their Scotland 2000 project. This helped lead to the Scottish Constitutional Convention of 1989, which in turn brought in 1999 the Parliament where I now sit as regional MSP for Mid-Scotland and Fife. But the hope of federalism in ‘Grasping the Thistle’ had vanished. We were on Tam Dalyell’s ‘motorway to independence’ and I thought this right.. The result of febrile academic specialisation and robust careerism from the metropolitan media greenhouse – when ‘best-seller history’ turns occasionally from war: you can guess the names. Since the crash the UK political world seems to have realised that it’s rooted in nothing: so rapidly has the dissolution of industrial membrane and post-industrial hype taken effect.

No king will heed our pleadings,
No court will hear our claims.
Our king and court, for their disport,
Do sell the very Thames.
The criticism of a nationalist right in the Kipling-Eliot tradition ought to come from a consciousness of continuing British identity, but that has departed the earth. The Guardian we have met. These days the online Times presents itself, rather usefully, with a contents list, which cuts down the short time one needs to review it. The Telegraph has a certain ‘best brute vote’ charm – clever Matt and swinish Alex – but takes leave of its reason over Europe. Ukip or the BNP may make some populist running over immigration. Enoch Powell was wrong – the Kenyan Asians gave as sharp an entrepreneurial boost as the Huguenots or Russian Jews. In Scotland we desperately need immigrants if we are to re-industrialise and exploit renewable energy; as well as reliable finance after our banks were looted, and efficient transport for industry and a 70% urban population. We can find these – and probably (given our energy resources) the necessary investment – among the European industrial powers. Which is where our version of Matthew Arnold’s ‘one thing needful’ effectively finds itself: the Financial Times.
Why not look to London? Here, however, the anthology of ancient ressentiments which is Anglo-Britain intervenes, refracted through a fissured London establishment. An analysis which is rational in Edinburgh will not make waves down south. Our remaining reserves of heavy engineering capacity and trained manpower are not going to build wind- and wave-power plants, but new Tridents and giant aircraft carriers: thus serving BAe, the UK’s corrupt merchants of death, and the Whitehall forces which long ago evicted Robin Cook’s ‘ethical dimension to foreign policy’.

In early 2010 Ukania faces not a decisive election, but a car crash. The traditional parties which underpinned David Butler and Robert McKenzie’s ‘British political homogeneity’ in swingometer days (1945-1974) are now quite adrift from any ideological meaning, and beginning to look like something out of South America: Blancos versus Colorados. A hung parliament will mark a political suicide attempt, to be redeemed only with great difficulty, if at all.
The laughing savagery of the tabloids has smeared itself like warpaint over the values of Michael Frayn’s herbivore middle classes: supermarket booze, footie, ‘Guardian soulmates’ in place of nonconformity, co-operation, free-thinking. In benign mood, the result resembles that rather touching portrait of conservative Russian youth in Bulgakov’s The White Guard, oddly a great favourite with Stalin. More realistically, the evidence coming in from European exchange students shows up a pitiful cultural wasteland. ‘Post-modern irony’ – giggling at the semi-literate – marks the ‘remnant’ of a society which no longer makes anything worth trading, and no longer owns the technical pillars of the state. British nationalism would need the concentrated, lunatic venom of a Swift or a Saki to convey the irony of buying insurance from Santander, electricity from EDF, or having Dieter the big red engine from Deutsche Bahn haul your train.
Thirteen years ago New Labour came in on a landslide, and never has there been greater constitutional change: devolution, diminution of hereditary peers, creation of a supreme court. Yet was this born out of confidence? Did attitudes and expectations change? Something of the sort had happened in 1909-1911, driven by David Lloyd George and Winston Churchill, urged on by C P Scott and J A Hobson from Cross Street, Manchester. And now? The tenantless Dome, the melting of Cool Britannia, the politics of dismay. ‘Never glad confident morning again’ was Robert Browning on Tennyson’s sell-out on becoming Poet Laureate, but the empty wealth, the trashed ideals, need the heartbreak of his ‘Youth and Art’:
But you meet the Prince at the Board
I’m queen myself at bals-pares
I’ve married a rich old lord,
And you’re dubbed knight and an RA..
Nobody these days reads Browning – just as nobody can recollect more than the title of ‘Things can only get better!’ Misha Glenny now tells us in McMafia (2008) that what happened in east Europe in 1989-91 wasn’t liberation by gallant cultivated democrats, as in his The Rebirth of History (1991) but corrupt oligarchies reshuffling and cashing in, protected by hit-men from the former secret police. The difference was that, with the Iron Curtain shot to bits, ‘illegalism’ spread westwards, and London and New Labour were up for it, risks be damned. There are ways of explaining this: the collapse of cabinet government, of responsible finance, and of a culture concerned with civic morality, set against the resilience of the imperial residues of global corporations, third-world oligarchies operating from tax havens, and the delusive boosterism of cultural capitalism. Altogether too formidable. As that honest Tory David Davies MP said in an aside at the Banking Commission: ‘We’re all against socially-useless finance. But look who’s bankrolling our party.’

Just as I entered Holyrood as an MSP, the writer Angus Calder was dying in a nearby nursing home. Alcohol destroyed the hope of more great historical projects like The People’s War (1969) and Revolutionary Empire (1983) but now it’s possible to see him – in the clarity of his late poems – as someone who, like the ‘holy drinker’ Joseph Roth, similarly self-destructive in 1930s, grasped the articulation of personal fate and history. The socialist satirist also saw the Habsburg Empire on skid row, and mourned it to death. Angus’s refuge was in Walter Scott’s Croft-an-righ: the ‘King’s field’ or debtors’ sanctuary in his last great tale, the prelude to the Chronicles of the Canongate (1827), in which Scotland’s future under capitalism is unhopefully sketched out. Coming from a small country whose economy and society were lastingly crippled after World War I, which it had enabled the Allies to win, our wariness is to be expected. What we see in London isn’t that exhilarating metaphor of Philip Larkin’s ‘Whitsun Weddings’: ‘an arrow-shower, somewhere becoming rain’ but a centripetal, oligarchic force that means us – and indeed London – no good.
Our future, if we have one, lies beyond. In a confederation of the islands? In some variable-geometry outfit that will sort out energy, transport and banking issues in ways that will cope with the looming, far greater menace of Peak Oil? As a European actor – or troupe of actors – vivifying the acronym-cluttered corridors of Strasbourg and Brussels? A hung parliament may open up such options, end the illusion of world power, and compel a rational European future. But in negotiating it we have to be alert to the separate histories and congruencies of family and community, capitalism, the state at its various levels and what Adam Ferguson called ‘the bands’ of civil society when benign, and of luxury and corruption when not. At 65, to have provided these ideas and hopes with a history and tested them against political experience is as much as one can do.
Herman van Rompuy, the first Europresident, says he was propelled into politics by John Buchan, another personal preoccupation. I edited The Thirty-nine Steps for Oxford, and Peer Steinbruck, the successful German finance-minister, said that the likes of Buchan and Eric Ambler were better guides to the economic disorder than any number of Nobel prizewinners. The quote van Rompuy offered was high-sounding, but Buchan survives through a Sancho Panza, or in Scotland Bailie Nicol Jarvie, view of politics: just like the real Adam Smith. One of his stories was of a Scottish squaddie, captured in Mesopotamia, who escaped and made his way into pre-revolutionary Russia. He found himself in a town where a huge Orthodox procession was choking the main street, laden with gold and icons. A big bearded man, as gorgeously dressed as the rest, came towards him, swinging a censer, and chanting ‘If it does ye nae guid, it’ll dae ye nae hairm!’ That’s enough moralism to be getting on with. But Buchan, Gordon Brown, Adam Smith, Adam Ferguson and temporarily Carlyle and myself, share the burgh of Kirkcaldy, on which the media will train its gaze in coming weeks. It could learn something from the place.
I’m particularly interested in your remarks about the Guardian. As a glib admission, the idea that the Thames-bound press has a constrained interest in Scotland (or for that matter, the rest of England, Wales and episodic and thematic excursions to Norn Iron) is easy to accept. One moment that particularly brought that loose sense home to me concretely was in 2007. I was living in the Netherlands and used to go to a particular café whose proprietors, for whatever anglophone reason, bought a range of English papers. My cheapness (I don’t enjoy the Guardian or the Telegraph sufficiently to pay international rates) enforced daily trips. It became a pleasant ritual accompanied by hot black coffee in small, white china cups.
As I say, it was in 2007 when I recall being particularly struck by the Guardian’s coverage of the then-ongoing Holyrood election campaign. Although it is difficult to capture now, at this distance, quite what it was about Jonathan Freedland ‘in Edinburgh’ that strongly emphasised for me that this was, as you say, a ‘view from far away’. It felt like a column written by an ad hoc international correspondent, unfamiliar with the people and the terrain – but sufficiently up on the names and formal structures to present a fair enough fudge of a commentary. It felt like reading the International Herald Tribune. At the time, I remember reflecting on how queer this seemed – and how awkward the Guardian was during its attempts at lapsing focus on Scotland. For me, exactly the same comment could be made about the Independent. While the Times and the Telegraph with their Scottish editions don’t convey the same impression of operating as media ‘strangers in a strange land’.
It might be interesting to speculate on the alignment of Scottish commentary and reportage with the ideological alignments of the newspapers – and why the metropolitan, more left-wing newspapers don’t give a fig.
The Independent certainly wears a saltire ‘Printed in Scotland’ on its cover but I don’t believe a word is written or commisioned here. Few – perhaps Anthony Barnett being an honourable exception – of the liberal metropoitan left really know much about what’s going on, or care. The problem is self-reinforcing ie. poor coverage of Scottish (or Irish or Welsh or N. English affairs) regurgitates partial or one-dimensional analysis and a ‘subsidy-junkie’ analysis prevails. The problem is that alot of the EVfEL drive comes from this misplaced sense of injustice and we now have a very real groundswell of English discomfort, a sort of inverse of the old ‘Jock with a chip on your shoulder’ syndrome so beloved of classic Scottish stereotype. | https://bellacaledonia.org.uk/2010/02/26/the-sense-of-an-ending/ | 2018-10-15T17:33:11 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
In the next few posts I’ll start talking about how to write Heroes and Villains. Before I do though, there is an important aspect to establish first in your storytelling, which will help you to recognize if your heroes and villains are even making a difference in your story.
(Raiders of the Lost Ark and Aladdin Spoiler Alert)
I don’t know if there is already a name for this principle, but it goes like this: You can determine the relevance of any item in your story by analyzing how the story would unfold differently if you remove that item.
This was brought to light in a tangible way by a particular episode of The Big Bang Theory titled “The Raiders Minimization”. It analyzed the film Raiders of the Lost Ark and realized that the character of Indiana Jones held no actual relevance to the unfolding of the story. With Indiana Jones in the story, the Nazis acquire the ark and the ark kills them. Without Indiana Jones in the story, the exact same thing would have happened. So his presence in the story makes no difference, so he is irrelevant to the story. He accomplished nothing. I’ll talk more about that film at the end of this blog, but first, the principle of Cause and Effect is worth discussing in detail.
For the record, in order for the hero to be a hero, they have to accomplish something. Something useful. You don’t want to tell a story where your hero is irrelevant, because then they’re not really a hero. This is why “and then the police showed up” is not a popular ending, because then the police are the hero, and your character is just someone who managed to not die for two hours. Now the police showing up in the end is tolerable if that was the hero’s entire goal from the beginning, because then you’re making it an integral part of the game – the tension. And the game is over when the police show up. But you want the hero to be the cause of the police showing up. You don’t want your audience to believe that the police would have shown up anyway if your “hero” had not been around.
In light of this principle, you want your hero to be somebody who shows up and solves a problem that already existed before they came onto the scene. I.e. there’s a crime spree going on in the city and the police don’t have the man-power to stop them. Then your hero shows up and is able to stop them, or joins the police squad and gives them the help they need to put an end to the crime. You want your hero to make a positive difference.
Likewise, when writing villains, you want your villain to be somebody who makes things worse by their presence, or by the decisions that they make when they come onto the scene. You want everyone in the story (or the good guys at least) to be worse off because of the villain’s existence.
And at the end of the story, if the hero defeats the villain, you either want everything to be back to the way it was before, or you want things to be better because of the continued work of the hero. But you don’t want a scenario where things are better because of something the villain did. That would be to give credit to the villain for the good way that things turned out in the end.
A film that does this principle extremely well is Disney’s Aladdin. Consider how the story changes by removing certain elements from the story. In each case everything that should have relevance has the right kind of relevance. Let’s analyze it one piece at a time.
First, the villain. Without Jafar, there is no threat to the kingdom, so the city of Aggrabah is better off without him, although the princess is still lonely either way. Since he is in the story, he controls the sultan through the hypnotic properties of his staff, and he is able to force a marriage between him and princess Jasmine against her will and rule the kingdom. With or without the existence of the lamp, he is still a problem for the kingdom.
Aladdin is the hero, and like a proper hero he saves the day. True, without him in the story, Jafar never would have been able to get the lamp, but even without the lamp, Jafar is still able to marry Jasmine against her will and rule the kingdom because of his hypnotic staff. But Aladdin is the one who recognizes what the staff is doing, and Aladdin is the one who breaks it, removing Jafar’s power. And even with the lamp in play, Aladdin still has the wisdom to trick Jafar into trapping himself with his greed.
So with or without the lamp, Jafar still wins as long as Aladdin is not around. With or without the lamp, Aladdin still saves the day. Which brings us to the lamp. The fact is, the lamp is unnecessary. It makes the story more interesting, but it really isn’t necessary for Aladdin to be the hero – and that’s the whole point of the film.
Some might say, “But without the lamp, Aladdin would not have gotten the girl.” But don’t forget, Aladdin and Jasmine had already met. They were in his hideout and having a special moment. Aladdin was about to get the girl. The only reason that moment was interrupted was because of Jafar chasing him down, which only happened because he was looking for the one who could get the lamp for him. Without the lamp, Jafar never ruins that moment. Aladdin gets the girl, the girl brings him home, Aladdin see what’s going on with the scepter, breaks it and saves the day, the sultan rewards him by revoking the law that Jasmine has to marry a prince, and everyone lives happily ever after. Even better, Aladdin never goes through that whole mess of thinking he has to be somebody else in order to win Jasmine’s heart. They just fall in love naturally.
That’s why the movie is called “Aladdin” instead of “Aladdin and the Magic Lamp” as the story is normally called. Because the lamp isn’t the point. The lamp doesn’t save the day. The lamp isn’t the hero. Aladdin is.
In summary: nobody’s perfect, but a hero by definition should (at the very least) solve more problems than they cause. And a villain, by their own choices, should cause more problems than they solve.
If I may go back to The Big Bang Theory’s analysis of Raiders of the Lost Ark for a moment, I look at the film a little differently. Yes, all their points about the ark and the Nazis are valid, but without Indiana Jones in the story the girl would have been tortured and killed, or at the very least tortured and taken prisoner. In fact, even if she had somehow survived all the way to the end of the film, she still would have died along with the Nazis when the ark was opened. The only reason she didn’t die is because Indiana Jones told her to keep her eyes closed. So in my opinion, the point of Indiana Jones is not to defeat the Nazis, or even to acquire the ark. The point of Indiana Jones is to save the girl.

Excellent tutoring here, Benjamin. You’ve given me a lot to think about in my next novel. I especially like your take on Indie’s heroic role in ‘Raiders’; the point of his presence in the story is to get the girl. Personally, I always like it when the hero gets the girl. | https://benjaminfrog.com/2017/05/26/cause-and-effect-in-your-story/ | 2018-10-15T17:13:51 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

Police Respond to Cabin John Ice Rink for Reported Fight at High School Hockey Game
Authorities say no one was arrested, no injuries reported
VIA WIKIMEDIA COMMONS
A teen fight broke out Tuesday evening during a high school hockey game, bringing police to the Cabin John Ice Rink in the Rockville area, according to authorities.
Six officers with the Maryland-National Capital Park Police and Montgomery County Police Department responded to a call about kids brawling and damaging property at the rink, said Lt. Nicole Adams, a Park Police spokeswoman.
A short video clip circulating on the website Barstoolsports shows a chaotic scene in the stands at the game, with several youths throwing punches.
No injuries were reported, and police didn’t make any arrests, Adams said. Officers didn’t find any damaged property at the ice rink, which is owned by the parks system.
The club hockey matchup was between students from Walter Johnson and Bethesda-Chevy Chase high schools. The teams are not affiliated with the schools, but are part of the Montgomery Hockey Conference, a group that coordinates competition between school-based teams.
Mark Butler, a member of the conference's executive board, said that the incident involved spectators and that he and other club members are still gathering information about what took place.
"In the meantime, I just wanted to emphasize that this was a really disappointing incident for those of us involved in supporting and playing in the Montgomery Hockey Conference. We fully embrace USA Hockey's code of conduct which emphasizes mutual respect for all involved," Butler wrote in an email. "The incident among the fans clearly wasn't in keeping with the spirit of that code."
Butler said conference members will work with those involved to prevent future incidents.
A sports blog on Wednesday published cellphone video of a hockey game fight and reported that it was from the Rockville game. The B-CC team account retweeted the viral video and wrote that players “would like to thank our fans for coming out and supporting us!” The tweet was later deleted.
The Walter Johnson team won by a score of 4-1, according to the conference website.

SIZE CHART
Where can i find the size chart of this blank gi? Thanks.
Excellent Gi
Great plain white gi... Fit is excellent, and it's very comfortable. It actually fits a bit like a very lightweight version of my judogi, which I personally really like. Gold weave material is a bit 'different' and very nice looking. I bought it as a 'travel' gi, but may end up putting school patches on it and getting another to leave plain.....

Thank you for your feedback!
Great gi! It will shrink
Great gi! It will shrink a good bit though. I bought it knowing I would stick it in wash and dryer and now its a perfect fit. Dont buy a whole size up from what you normally train in but if you think you are in the bottom part of the range for sizes you should be good with the gi.
BJJSports.com
Thank you for the feedback!
great value
alright, my name is Alex. I have been doing bjj for about 5 years. I have made a point to use the crap out of this GI for the last 6 months or so. I use it about 4 times a week. I put it in the washing machine and hang dry it. If you are a cheap bastard (like myself) and looking for bang for your buck this is it. THE GOOD The pearl weave is noticeably thick and feels very strong. The collar is quite thick. The GI comes preshrunk and in long sizes (this is important!) The pants have the rope belt, not the stupid flat string thing. THE BAD I have notice that compared to my Fuji victory GI and my gracie barra GI the reinforcements around the arm pits and seems are smaller. The GI is totally plain (as you would expect) this is a positive for me as my school is a little picky about GI. In conclusion. This thing is great value. if you are looking for a GI that will last and not break the bank its a good option. the pearl weave is noticeably thicker then other GI I have had.

This is the second gi I've bought from BJJ Sports, and my second gi from Blank Kimonos. I am 5'9, 135 lbs and sometimes struggle to find long sizing in gis, let alone a gi that isn't covered in patches or tacky font branding. That's a question of personal choice though. I prefer minimal styling in general, and it doesn't hurt that it keeps the cost down. My previous Blank gi has held up extremely well, so I assume this one will be the same high quality too. The jacket and pants are a nice slim cut without being at all constricting. I live in Canada and got my gi shipped in about a week, and I've never had any issues ordering from BJJ Sports.

Challenge:
Rhiannon Andersen came to us with a bold challenge. She wanted to change the way her company did sales. An ambitious goal when you’re already one of the Inc. 5,000 fastest growing companies in the United States. But, then again, Steelhead is an ambitious company.
Steelhead designs custom trade show exhibits for big brands at some of the largest trade shows in the country including CES, SolarPower International, and E3.Traditionally the trade show exhibit design industry has relied on outbound sales to close deals, but Rhiannon wanted to try an inbound methodology. She believed that by attracting customers online, Steelhead would be able to exponentially increase it’s growth, build a steady stream of leads, and leapfrog its competition.
Two days before our kickoff meeting Steelhead let the majority of their sales team go. You can read more about the circumstances here. They had to move quickly to generate new leads, and we were ready to dive in and help.
Solution:
In light of Steelhead’s dramatic sales team turnover, they needed a new source of leads fast, so we doubled down to start driving leads immediately.
We used our rapid onboarding process to drive quick results for Steelhead
- Held an on-site kickoff meeting where we discussed initial strategy, planned the first two months of blog content, identified the first content offer we would use to attract new leads, and discussed how we would qualify leads for sales
- Launched first blog posts 12 days after kickoff meeting
- Launched two lead generation content offers within three weeks of the kickoff date
- Generated immediate demand using digital media ads
- Launched smart promos throughout the site that motivated people to provide their email address in exchange for a resource
- Implemented automated nurture pathways for all leads coming into the site to qualify them for sales and facilitate a smooth handoff
Results in first full month of program:
- Traffic: Increased traffic 21% over their average monthly sessions
- Leads: 163% increase over previous month
Tools:
- Blog posts, white papers, ebooks
- Digital media
- Social media promotion
- Reporting
Client quote:
“The partnership between Steelhead and ABN has been outstanding. They have strategized and implemented a digital marketing strategy which produced results immediately. ABN has been and continues to be a vital part of Steelhead sales and marketing team. I highly recommend their services to any company that wants to up their game!”

What is P2P lending?
In P2P lending, a collection of investors group together to lend money to a business. The business gets the necessary cash injection in order to make whatever investment it needs to, and the investors get repayment with interest, resulting in a better yield than they would derive from other investment types. The process is generally undertaken via an online platform and is facilitated by a P2P provider.
How does it work?
The borrower makes an application, much as they would for a conventional bank loan, explaining how much they need to borrow, what it is for and backing this up with the necessary accounts, financial projections and so on. Once approved, the application will be made public on the P2P platform, and investors will be invited to contribute up until the full loan amount is reached.
Isn’t that the same as crowdfunding?
No. Crowdfunding is another popular way of raising money, particularly for a new business venture, and the two are often confused. The big difference is that with P2P you are talking about a loan with interest and repayments. Crowdfunding is a more general term that includes investors buying stock options or simply donating money to a cause or business initiative that they believe in.

Why P2P?
If P2P lending is the same as getting a bank loan, then why not just get a bank loan? There are a couple of advantages that P2P has over the banks – and also a couple of disadvantages.
In general, P2P lending is more accessible. Loans do not usually require security, and if your credit history is less than perfect, you have a better chance of approval for P2P than you would at a high street bank. The downside? If the lender is taking more of a risk on you, they will expect a better return, so interest rates can be higher than those offered on a bank loan.
What’s in it for the investor?
The benefits of P2P from the borrower’s perspective are clear to see, but this form of finance also presents a great opportunity for investors. Today, it is harder than ever to find investment opportunities that offer a yield of more than one or two percent and have an acceptable risk profile. P2P is a compelling choice.
Of course, there is always the possibility of a borrower defaulting on the loan, but most investors spread the risk, making relatively small investments in a number of different projects. Ultimately, this means that even if the occasional one goes south, they see an attractive return on their investment.

Why Are We Going to XLIVE?
XLIVE brings together top industry leaders in music, film, culinary, beverage, eSports, and technology with one common goal: creating amazing experiences for festivals and live events.
Festivals are what sparked the beginning of Sharethebus. Upon meeting, our co-founders Wolf and Kyle realized that they shared a mutual dilemma. They both loved attending live events, but needed a better way to get to them. Together, they decided to change the industry by exploring ways in which they can create a better travel experience for attendees.
Naturally when the opportunity to attend XLIVE came up, the decision was an obvious one. We’re excited to rub shoulders with professionals from different industries and learn from their various areas of expertise to make the bus experience not only better, but also a seamless extension to any event.
Bus travel is a way to connect people and places, and that’s exactly the kind of experience we want to bank on by extending an event’s reach to beyond the event itself.
Patrons are looking for a better option that’s simple to organize and won’t cost them an arm and a leg. With direct bus travel, you’ll attract more attendees by saving them the hassle of figuring out their transportation and by saving them money so they have more budget for other festival goodies. By choosing a bus solution that’ll create a positive rider experience, organizers will make their event more unique, more memorable, and more accessible.
What Are We Doing at XLIVE?
We’re a tech-driven transportation company that’s bent on improving the travel experience to festivals and live events with a full-stack suite of tools built specifically for event organizers.
With features like live GPS tracking, easy trip management, and integrated customer service, we want to modernize your bus experience while providing you with all you need for seamless transportation to your events.
These last few months were spent listening to client feedback to tweak and refine our tech. We’re excited to attend XLIVE, meet other live events aficionados, and showcase the work our team has done so far through live demos!
Here’s a sneak peek of what you can expect. If you’re also going to XLIVE, make a pit stop at our exhibitor booth, ask all your questions, and give our tools a spin! | https://blog.bus.com/were-attending-xlive-2016/ | 2018-10-15T16:44:17 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
The recently found DNS hijacking malware that was targeting Android devices has now evolved, and it is capable of targeting iOS and desktop users.
Roaming Mantis malware was initially discovered hijacking Internet routers last month to distribute Android banking malware designed to steal users’ login credentials and the secret code for two-factor authentication.
The criminal group behind the Roaming Mantis campaign has now expanded their phishing attacks to iOS devices and PC users.
The first cyber attacks were designed to target users from South East Asia–including South Korea, China Bangladesh, and Japan. Now the new campaign supports 27 languages to infect people across Europe and the Middle East more easily..
Roaming Mantis malware modus operandi
The new Roaming Mantis malware is distributed via DNS hijacking. Hackers make DNS hijacking cyber attacks by changing the DNS settings of the wireless routers to redirect traffic to malicious websites controlled by them.
Meaning that, whenever users attempt to access any website via a compromised router, they are redirected to malicious websites, which can be:
• fake apps infected with banking malware to Android users,
• phishing sites to iOS users,
• Sites with cryptocurrency mining script to desktop users
To evade detection, the fake websites generate new packages in real time with individual malicious apk files for download, and also set filename as eight random numbers.
If any of the apk apps are installed, the hackers can control the infected Android devices using 19 built-in backdoor commands, including sendSms, setWifi, gcont, lock, onRecordAction, call, get_apps, ping and more.
iOS device victims have redirected users to a phishing site that mimics the Apple website, named ‘security.app.com,’. The fake site asks victims to enter their user ID, password, card number, card expiration date and CVV number.
Researchers also found that Roaming Mantis injects a browser-based cryptocurrency mining script from CoinHive on each page visited using a desktop browser.
To protect yourself from such malware, you must keep your router updated to latest version of firmware and protected by a secure password. Also, always check and make sure the sites you are visiting has HTTPS enabled.
Further, it is advised to disable your router’s remote administration feature and hardcode a trusted DNS server into the operating system network settings.
Install apps only from official stores, and disable the installation of apps from unknown sources
Check if your Wi-Fi router is compromised by reviewing your DNS settings and check the DNS server address. If it does not match with the one given by your provider, change it back to the right one and change all your account passwords immediately.. | https://blog.cyberbyte.org/blog/dns-hijacking-malware-is-affecting-ios-android-and-desktop-customers-worldwide/ | 2018-10-15T16:59:05 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
In this article, we will cover the common details that all Cartier glasses are known for and in turn, share the differences between real Cartier eyeglasses vs Fake Cartier glasses. The general fundamentals, joined with the precise details shown below will give you the knowledge necessary to ensure that you are purchasing authentic Cartier glasses.
The first thing to look at when trying to determine if you have purchased real Cartier Eyes is the overall quality of the frames. Paint wearing or chipping, as well as misspellings, are easy indicators of fake Cartier glasses.
Below are seven areas to examine when determining if you have purchased authentic Cartier eyeglasses.
Authentic Cartier Eyeglasses: Lens Logo
Majority of Cartier glasses have their logo stamped, or etched onto the lens. The key difference here, from many of the fakes, is the quality of the stamp. Frequently, the counterfeiters will use a cheap screen print method to stamp on the Cartier logo. The screen print method gives the logo no texture, whereas an authentic pair of Cartier glasses has a logo with a texture.. This easy test will indicate if you have purchased authentic or counterfeit Cartier glasses.
Authentic Cartier Bridge Piece
Authentic Cartier bridge piece separating the two lenses should feature the bridge measurements. In some cases, the model number is printed here as well. In our example, the bridge piece gives the width of 20mm. The etching should be centered within the bridge piece. Just because these details are present in an area that is unlikely to be seen does not mean that the quality of the glasses should degrade. Every detail, regardless of the function or the area it is found in, should maintain the same level of uniform Cartier quality.

Authentic Cartier Nose Piece
Typically, Cartier has their logo stamped on both nose pieces featured on the inside of the glasses. This is a detail that many counterfeiters neglect, as the majority of consumers do focus on minor details and only pay attention to the exterior details. Therefore, when you are examining Cartier eyeglasses for legitimacy, always pay close attention to the interior details—the nose piece in particular.
Authentic Cartier Temple
Most Cartier temples are gold and hand engraved. This detail is much more difficult to replicate, and most imitators would rather not deal with it. However, some counterfeiters will attempt to reproduce it. When determining if you have purchased fake Cartier glasses, check the temple insert and look for spacing and centering issues. The Cartier temple insert should be fairly centered within the tip of the temple arm and smooth with the surface.
In this case, you are looking for the opposite effect as the lens stamp. The Cartier temple insert should not be raised up above the surface of the temple arm. If you run your finger over the temple insert and feel major bumps, that is an indicator that you have purchased fake Cartier glasses. The texture may vary slightly from style to style because each one is made from a different material, but regardless of the material, the insert should never be sticking out. You should also be sure to check the gold for tarnishing and if there appears to be another metal color in certain places, this is a sure sign that the glasses are not real gold and in turn, not authentic Cartier glasses.
The three temple insert tests are:
Check for centering
Insert should be flush with the temple arm
Real gold does not tarnish
Like what you see? Check out the wide selection of Cartier Glasses and Cartier Sunglasses available at Designer Eyes.
Check For Inscriptions
The Cartier signature, along with a serial number printed in small font, is located on the inside frame of each pair of glasses. This serial number should be a seven-digits long and is provided by Cartier in all glasses to confirm authenticity.
The Cost Of the Cartier Glasses
Notice the price of the glasses and be wary of extremely low-priced versions. An authentic pair of Cartier eyeglasses with acetate rims will cost at $600 and a pair with platinum frames can cost up to $3,000. If the price is far below the original cost, there is a possibility that the pair is fake.
Authentic Cartier Warranty Card
Cartier glasses are typically sold with a hard leather case, cleaning cloth and an authenticity guarantee card. Be sure to ask for a warranty card and an authenticity guarantee card when purchasing Cartier glasses. If the glass are purchased from a private individual, this information should still be available.

When you’re exercising in the water, you get a different work out than if you were to perform many of the same exercises on land and there are plenty of new options as well. All of them are less strenuous than your typical exercise. As one of the lowest impact exercises, water fitness is perfect for just about everyone, even those with injuries and seniors. In addition to your traditional exercise, there are enhancements you can use to increase your workout performance, such as water fitness gloves.
Increased Resistance
One of the greatest benefits of wearing fitness gloves in the water is the increased resistance. The resistance is needed to help enhance the effects of the movements you make. The webbed fingers in these gloves cause the water to push against your hands so you have to work harder without creating more stress on your joints.
Improve Your Endurance
In addition to strengthening your muscles, there are other benefits of exercise you can expect to improve when you wear the Speedo aqua fitness gloves or any other type of water gloves. Endurance is vital if you want to get fit and stay fit. The more you exercise, the longer you will be able to maintain your exercise routine for longer so you can compound the positive effects you feel from every work out.
Move More Efficiently
If swimming is part of your water fitness routine, water fitness gloves are a must-have. As you swim, the webbed fingers in the fitness gloves will help you more efficiently push the water away from your body and propel you through the water so you can get more done with less effort. This allows you to get all the benefits of a swim without having to spend a lot of time in the water.
Water fitness can be one of the most effective exercises, helping you get fit and stay fit with less strain on your muscles. However, you can enhance your performance and the effects of your work out with the right competitive swimming gear. Speedo aqua fitness gloves make the perfect complement to your water fitness routine so you can enjoy all the benefits.

Sending You A Smile
Hi everyone! Melissa B here, sending you a smile for a happy Tuesday. 🙂 Today I have a card + matching envelope to share using a combination of Country Blooms and Smile.
I’m a big fan of crisp white card-stock with lots of color added to it. That’s just what I did for today. I started by stamping my flowers and leaves, from Country Blooms, in the top left and bottom right corners of my card front. I also stamped them in the corner of a white envelope. Next, I colored them in using Copic colors —> R24, RV14, BG13, Y38 and G99.
Next, I did a little splattering with watercolors. So simple to do and I just love the effect it gives. All I did was wet my paintbrush heavily with water, dip it into my black watercolor and while holding the brush with one hand, gently tap it with the other over your card front and envelope. You can add as little or as much as you want. You really can’t go wrong! 🙂
After I let that dry for a bit, I moved onto my sentiment. I die cut my ‘Smile‘ and then stamped the rest of my sentiment, ‘Sending you a’, onto a strip of white card-stock and attached them both to my card. To finish, I added a strip of pink card-stock along the side and some white twine.
I hope you enjoyed. Wishing you all a very happy day!
xo,

We’re announcing a new partnership with Output, a music technology company that helps musicians make innovative instruments and tracks with their incomparable plugins (though recently they’ve been getting a ton of attention for the slick and affordable studio desk they’ve designed).
Output joins our growing list of partners dedicated to high-quality online education, and they aren’t holding back: we’ve joined forces with them to build a two-course Program in audio plugin development. Both courses of this Program are taught by Output engineers, making this a unique opportunity to get an inside look at how software is actually developed inside one of the industry’s leading plugin companies.
The first course, Introduction to Audio Plugin Design and Development, will take you through the art of object-oriented programming in C++, and how to use JUCE to turn that skill into multi-threaded audio plugins. The second, Advanced Audio Plugin Development, is just what it sounds like: coverage of digital signal processing, modulation and interface design. By the end you’ll be able to make professional, performance-ready plugins.
This is just the beginning of our plans together with Output, so keep an eye out for more updates.

Spear-phishing email attacks are a serious concern, a risk that is probably increasing. The attacks work by fooling victims into doing something inapppropriate/unwise, such as visiting a dodgy website or opening a dodgy attachment. 'Fooling victims' is the crux of it, and email is just one of many possible ways of perpetrating the fraud. The 'spear' part of the name refers to messages that narrowly target specific individuals, using information about them or their interests to hook them.
The most obvious way to tackle the spear phishing threat is to explain it, help potential victims limit the amount of potential lure material they release, recognize when they are being speared, and show them how to respond. Security awareness in other words. It's what we do. Anti-malware is another part of the defense, along with various other security controls to limit the damage after a victim is fooled.
And now, if you have $130-150k to spare, you can even buy an "appliance" to detect and block spear phishing emails.
Golly. How much awareness could one buy for $130-150k? It had better be good!

When someone goes house-hunting, they have their needs, their wants, and their deal-breakers. In addition to good schools, low crime and a nice location, high-speed internet service, is becoming more of a need than a want.
Cities and towns across the country are beginning to see next generation internet access as a necessity, citing its impact on property values, rents, and overall economic health.
Take Provo, Utah, for instance. With the introduction of gigabit internet (provided by Google Fiber), residents are seeing faster internet, more reliable service, and increased home values. The median price of a home in Provo in 2014 was $182,750, an increase of over 15% in 2011 when homes were selling for a median price of $158,950.
Ashley Jensen, a successful real estate agent in Provo, has seen a lot of positive changes in her city the last few years, including a complete renovation of the city’s downtown area and many new businesses. Since 2011, the number of homes sold in Provo have increased by 26%. Ms. Jensen attributes this to new mayor, John Curtis and the business boom brought on in part by better connectivity.
In addition to increased home value, a study by the FTTH council suggests that gigabit internet may have a positive impact in other areas such as a decrease in unemployment, improving medical technology and creating new education applications.
Studies have shown that students with broadband at home study more, watch less television, and improve their grades. With fiber internet, teachers and lecturers could simulcast their lessons to a classroom across town – or across the country. With the advent of 3D broadcasting, imagine if students could inspect a visualizations of the planets orbiting the sun in the solar system, projected right out into their classroom.
Jensen says she has seen an influx of Silicon Valley transplants to the area, and believes they are choosing to live in Provo because of the city’s innovative spirit and desire to provide the right tools and resources for success to it’s residents and businesses.

Are you over 50 and thinking about your finances when you stop working? Moving an ISA into a pension could be one way to give your retirement income a significant boost. The case study below shows how £50,000 can turn into £75,000 – a really helpful increase as you approach retirement.
When pensions were more restrictive, it’s unlikely you’d have thought about cashing-in your ISA to pay into your pension. But modern pensions give you access to your money when you want from the age of 55. They also have the added attraction of giving your savings a substantial boost because of the way tax relief works – ISAs generally don’t.
How do the numbers add up?
Let’s assume Tom is 56-years-old, has a salary of £96,000 and stocks and shares ISAs worth £50,000. He has a pension valued at £300,000 and cash savings for an emergency.
If Tom closes his ISAs and pays the £50,000 into his pension, his contribution would turn into £62,500 because of the tax relief top-up in tax year 2015-16. That’s £12,500 the tax man has added to his savings, just because they now sit inside his pension instead of his ISA.
Tom could also choose the same investment funds inside his pension as he used to have inside his ISA. So moving his money is really about changing the ‘tax wrapper’ which sits around his investments and the tax relief top-up on that money on the way in.
And because Tom is a higher rate taxpayer, his finances will get a further uplift if he files a tax return and claims higher-rate tax relief. If he does, he’ll get an income-tax refund of £12,500 from HMRC because more of his income will be taxed at 20% instead of 40%. That’s more money Tom can save for his future.
So far, so good. But there’s a restriction on the annual amount which can be paid into a pension, and this is £40,000. Tom has exceeded this, so needs to use the carry forward rules linked to unused annual allowance from the past three years. Luckily Tom has some carry forward available as he did not make full use of his pension allowances in recent years.
What about inheritance tax?
It’s also worth remembering that money held in a modern pension is normally outside your estate for inheritance tax purposes. It’s different for an ISA which is usually inside the IHT net if your total assets, including property, are worth £325,000 or more, unless an exemption applies. Pensions are useful for passing on wealth, tax efficiently.
A final consequence of an ISA-to-pension transfer is the tax treatment of withdrawals. You don’t pay any tax when you take money out of an ISA. With a pension, 25% of what you take out is tax free, and the rest is taxable, depending on what rate of income tax you pay. But if Tom is going to be a basic rate taxpayer when he retires, then the sums stack up in his favour in terms of the overall benefit of rehoming his ISA money. Indeed, the sums could work out well for him even if he is a higher-rate tax payer in retirement.
Watch out for your annual allowance
Calculating any unused annual allowance is not straightforward because different pensions have varying contribution periods and are not the same as the tax year. And if you don’t get it right, you’ll face a tax charge. You should speak to an expert for help to keep you right.

When it comes to business travel, employers and employees both want trips to be seamless. While employers focus on the need for travel and its cost implications, employees have a different set of concerns and responsibilities and concentrate on preparation and execution.
“To save time and money, employers should plan ahead, but the reality is last-minute business trips are par for the course,” says Chantal Kliche, Retail Manager of Thompsons Travel, Cape Region. “Schedule changes at the eleventh hour all too often result in higher-than-usual travel costs, so while booking in advance is not always an option, it is worth the effort.”
Here’s why planning ahead can ensure that business travel is successful.
Before You Begin
Your first step towards saving time and money is to ensure that you have a well-defined travel policy in place. “Successful planning means doing your groundwork,” says Kliche. “Outline specific guidelines to ensure that all employees are on the same page when it comes to their travel arrangements, responsibilities and budgets.”
When creating your travel policy, be sure to provide options and include employees in the decision-making process. “This is because employers will prioritise cost-effectiveness, while travellers will prioritise quality services and support,” says Kliche.
Planning Ahead Saves Costs
It pays to plan ahead. Research shows that business travellers can spend up to 200% more for flights booked the day before travel, while the lowest airfares are generally available 21 or more days before departure.
“One of the ways to mitigate the impact of price fluctuations on your travel budget is to implement an advance purchase strategy,” says Kliche. “Additionally, if you plan business trips regularly, you can significantly reduce your expenses by taking advantage of travel programmes such as frequent-flyer memberships and travel-rewards credit cards.”
Booking your trips through Thompsons Travel ensures that you get competitive prices. “We leverage significant buying power as a consortium to always offer our clients the best possible rates.”
Better Availability, Greater Choice & Seamless Logistics
Planning early enables you to take advantage of a broader range of options on flights, lodging and car rental. “There are also better dates and availability, allowing you to plan an itinerary,” says Kliche.
Get Tech Savvy
Online booking tools have revolutionised the business travel planning process, allowing companies to have a bespoke online booking tool created around their specific needs and requirements incorporating their travel policy.
“As a Thompsons Travel client, you get the best of both worlds,” says Kliche. “You get access to Thompsons Traveller Online, which is web-based, giving you the freedom to manage your travel at any moment according to an inbuilt approval process, maximising efficiency. You also get the support of a dedicated team who will help you to make the best decisions and assist with other details such as arranging forex, visa applications, booking ground transport and dealing with travel emergencies.”

It can be difficult when you want to continue contributing financially to your family but you are also a stay-at-home parent. This is the situation Stacee H. found herself in — both knowing that being a stay-at-home parent to her daughter was a priority, but also still wanting to contribute towards her and her husband’s shared goal of living debt-free.
Deciding to rent out a car on Turo
When asked why she decided to rent her vehicle with Turo, Stacee said: “I’m a stay-at-home mom and I really wanted to feel like I was contributing to our family’s financial goals…When we found out about Turo and how they took care of the insurance for your car and the amount we would get paid, we couldn’t resist! We knew our car would be protected in the event of any damage so we didn’t have to worry.”
She and her husband are now hooked, and not just for money reasons. “I love the community aspect of Turo. I have gotten to meet so many different people from all over the US and help them save money, while also making me money. It’s a total win-win situation.”
Contributing financially to the household
Stacee and her family have some big financial plans. She says, “the extra money we earn with Turo is going toward our vehicle loan. After our car is paid off, we will be using the money to pay extra on our student loans. Our goal is to be 100% debt-free and live only on cash. Turo is a huge factor in helping us reach this goal!”
She loves that T Turo
Stacee has offered airport pick-up and dropoff with each of her rentals because of her close proximity to PDX airport, which has certainly helped with finding renters. She suggests a few other ways to increase request and approval rates: “Make sure your listing on Turo is clear, concise, and free of spelling and grammar errors. Try to respond to every inquiry as soon as possible, and try to be as flexible as you can be.”

Randomness is the basis of many aspects of cryptography. It’s used as a key part of nearly all encryption algorithms to generate keys and many cryptographers will tell you privately that they don’t know if that’s where the major weakness is for cryptography, but they have their suspicions. If that’s true, the lack of true “randomness” could be a major weakness in encryption.
Looking at our world, everything around us seems chaotic, random and jumbled. But is it? Car horns honk, static noise on the radio, people walking on the street, all of these things look random. However, science has discovered the existence of other dimensions that exist in micro-cosmic spaces which is why you can’t see them. Scientists can’t see them either, but they have proven this mathematically. If there’s math that demonstrates the existence of these hidden dimensions, couldn’t math also be used to “see” things in these higher dimensions? That’s one principle of discovering the true nature of randomness, finding a mathematical relationship between the things that appear random and converting them into a much simpler formula that shows the true, underlying order to these things. With the correct formula, you could see through the randomness and use that knowledge to “predict” with some precision a set of results that would remove some or all of the randomness from the equation. Even narrowing down the possible solutions can make encryption a lot easier to break using today’s desktop computers, not to mention quantum computers.
Viewing things from a higher level, things that appear random and chaotic are actually very clear and well ordered. Buddhism teaches this aspect of wisdom, from Sakyamuni through many enlightened people today, they’ll say things like “everything is very well ordered” and “nothing happens without reason”. They are able to look into these other dimensions and when they do so without any intention, things are very clearly seen.
These observations by calm and rational minds point out something very important; if nothing is truly random, where can you look to see the order? People with abilities to “see” into other dimensions point out a way to break through “randomness” and to see the order. You can learn more about that in this book, link: Zhuan Falun. High level math and super and quantum computers can explore this area today and break through the “randomness”, which makes it possible to substantially lower the number of possible solutions to a cypher. Not everyone working at Unseen.is is a cryptography expert, though we have a few who are expert in this domain. However, most of the people at Unseen.is do meditate, so we understand this principle from another angle.
If high powered computing power available to various security agencies can “look into” or simulate other dimensions to see through “randomness”, breaking encryption is a much simpler task. Then the issue becomes one of obfuscation, hiding things in plain sight. ”I didn’t see it, but it was right in front of me” comes to mind.Read more | https://blog.unseen.is/2014/05/17/does-true-randomness-exist/ | 2018-10-15T18:13:43 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
, Instagram, Snapchat and dozens of other sites which allow members to post daily activities minute by minute and picture by picture. More importantly, these same sites allow the world to see your activities (and much more) real time – sometimes without you even realizing it.
As social media has grown, so has its potential danger to operational security. During World War II, factory workers were warned that “loose lips sink ships.” Today’s loose lips are posts, tweets and updates. Although it is unrealistic to think the threat can be eliminated, it can, and should, be managed by not only the unit but individual members as well.
We are all well aware of basic internet security – change your password regularly, do not use your birthday as a pin number, do not post personal information, etc, but do you know that social media may actually be tracking your location?
You’re On the Grid
Anyone who has ever posted to Facebook is familiar with this function, if for no other reason than because you are asked to add your location or “check in” each time you update your status. But what many users do not realize is much of this information is collected automatically whether you know it or not. Unless you take some simple precautions, every picture, video or post you make includes a detailed grid location. Many applications also collect location data on regular intervals throughout the day as they run in the background.
Not only do most social media sites collect location data, but they also share this information with advertisers. Did you ever wonder how you can be walking around Baltimore’s Inner Harbor with your family and post a picture of the waterfront to your Facebook page, only to find an ad for Hardrock Café shows up a split second later? It’s because your account location information told the advertisers you were nearby, and this information is available to anyone with minimal training and access to your account.
Be Smart
It is virtually impossible to use social media and remain off the grid. Of course you could turn off your phone or other mobile device, but we have come to depend on our smartphones and tablets both professionally and personally, and often use the same device to access Twitter during down time as we use for intel during operations. However, there are some simple steps you can take to limit your exposure.
- Disable GPS – Smartphones, tablets and most laptops now include a GPS function which is not only necessary when using navigation programs but a key component to geotracking. Shutting off this function is the first step to limiting your exposure.
- Verify settings – Each social media site manages member settings differently, but most default to a more open rather than restrictive level. Check your account setting frequently, especially after network updates.
- Avoid public access – Accessing the internet or social media sites via public Wi-Fi at hotels, airports, or restaurants reduces your ability to control privacy settings. Furthermore, these connections are more prone to hacking.
- Do not be too friendly – Resist the temptation to friend or connect with everyone who requests it. Accepting strangers into your circle also grants them greater access to your information.
- Avoid add-ons or links – Clicking on links to games, surveys or advertisements increases your risk in two manners. One, they are developed by third parties who may or may not practice the same levels of security as the main site provider. Two, the application itself may cause your own settings to be changed to allow its own use.

A few articles that caught my eye:
- Let’s enact a new Voting Rights Act. Some commonsense solutions in here. I suggested to Rep. Bobby Scott, after last November’s long voting lines, that the federal government implement voting procedures for its races that would be the same across the country. (That is pretty much what happened in the 1964 federal elections, after the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.) The idea of a separate federal ballot, along with weekend voting, dovetails nicely with that.
- The Cheney in Waiting. A lighthearted take on a serious topic. The line about the founding fathers was just hilarious.
- Rand Paul can never be a mainstream Republican. You are known by the company you keep: Former senior advisor to Pres. G.W. Bush, Michael Gerson, effectively calls the Libertarian Paul a neo-Confederate.
- This isn’t McDonnell’s first brush with scandal. Although StarGate is probably his worst, the fact is that McDonnell has been here before.
- Struggling for answers amid a scandal. The very best – bar none – take on the McDonnell mess I have read.
With Saturday’s debate, there were tons of articles all over the news, far too many to link. About the only thing of note was this piece about Ken Cuccinelli hiring a debate coach. I always thought Cuccinelli was a pretty good debater, even though I don’t think it showed Saturday.

Attacking Rand Paul for Jack Hunter is like attacking Al Franken for being, well, Al Franken. Or calling Barack Obama a 911 truther because he hired Van Jones. He may never be mainstream in Michael Gerson’s world, but fact of the matter is that in 2012 Ron Paul built a big ole ditch and shifted the mainstream of the Republican Party permanently. Iowa, Maine, Nevada, Virginia, all have their State Central committees dominated by Paul loyalists and that map will only expand in 2014.
As for Cuccinelli, he needs an anger management coach. There’s no benefit to being the smartest candidate in the race if you come off looking unhinged. Most reasonable people would rather have the cool, calm, collected TMac that knows nothing about state government than angry whiz-kid Ken Cuccinelli who probably dreams about government flow charts and briefing books. | https://blog.vivianpaige.com/2013/07/22/quick-hits-072213/ | 2018-10-15T18:16:38 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

Abstract
Genetic components significantly contribute to the susceptibilities of alcoholism and its endophenotypes, such as event-related potential measures and electroencephalogram. An endophenotype is a correlated trait which identifies individuals at risk. Correlated traits could be influenced by shared genes. This study is intended to identify chromosome regions that may harbor common genetic loci contributing to alcoholism, event related potential measures and electroencephalogram. All 143 Collaborative Study on the Genetics of Alcoholism families with 1,614 individuals provided by the Genetic Analysis Workshop 14 were used for the analysis with aldx1 as an alcoholism diagnosis. We carried out factor and principal component analyses on the 12 event-related potentials, then bivariate genome scans on aldx1 and electroencephalogram (ecb21), as well as alcoholism and the principal component scores of the event-related potential measures. A univariate genome scan was also carried out on each trait. Factor and principal component analysis on the event-related potential measures showed that the 4 ttths and 4 ntths belong to one cluster (cluster 1), while the 4 ttdts belonged to another (cluster 2). From each cluster, one principal component was extracted and saved as pc1 (for cluster 1) and pc2 (for cluster 2). The results of genome scans revealed only one chromosome region, chromosome 4 q at about 100 cM, identified by several univariate genome scans including aldx1, ecb21, and pc2, and the evidence of linkage increased significantly in the bivariate genome scans of aldx1 and ecb21 and aldx1 and pc2. Our study suggests that the same quantitative trait locus on the chromosome 4 q region, where ADH3 is located, may influence the risk of alcoholism, variations of electroencephalogram, and the 4 ttdts of the event-related potential measures.

Background
In order to further identify and study genetic loci contributing to alcoholism susceptibility, investigators have recently focus on genome scans on alcoholic endophenotypes, such as event-related potential (ERP) and electroencephalogram (EEG). An endophenotype is a correlated trait with a relatively high heritability. It segregates with the illness in the affected relatives and identifies individuals at risk.
Two correlated traits could be influenced by shared genes. The power to localize the shared genes could be improved by bivariate linkage analysis [1]. However, the technical difficulties for a multivariate linkage analysis increase tremendously when the dimensionality of the correlated traits increases. As a well known dimension-reduction strategy for handling datasets with high-dimensional correlated traits, such as the 12 ERPs in the Collaborative Study on the Genetics of Alcoholism (COGA) dataset, a combination factor analysis and principal component analysis can be used to summarize the variability of the variables into a few principal component scores. Genome scans on these factors may be able to identify common susceptibility loci influencing these correlated traits.
This study is intended to identify common genetic loci contributing to alcoholism and its endophenotypes, EEG and ERPs, through a bivariate genome scan on alcoholism and EEG (ecb21) as well as alcoholism and the factors of the 12 ERPs. Before bivariate genome scans, we carried out univariate genome scans on each trait.
Methods
Study subjects
We used all 143 COGA families with 1,614 individuals provided by Genetic Analysis Workshop 14 (GAW14) for the analyses. "aldx1" was used as the alcoholism diagnosis.
ERP measurements
The ERP data are extracted from the case of the visual oddball experiment for 4 electrode placements, 1 for the far frontal left side channel, 2 for the frontal midline channel, 3 for the central midline channel, and 4 the for parietal midline channel. For the 4 ttths (ttth1 to ttth4) and 4 ttdts (ttdt1 to ttdt4), the data are extracted from the target case. The extracted measures correspond to the 'late' time window, which is set at 300–700 ms following stimulus presentation (bounding the visual P3 event), and the theta band power (3–7 Hz) for the 4 ttths, and the delta band power (1–2.5 Hz) for the 4 ttdts. The 4 ntths (ntth1 to ntth4) contain data extracted from the non-target case. The extracted measures correspond to the 'early' time window, which is set at 100 to 300 ms following the stimulus presentation, and the theta band power (3–7 Hz).
Factor analysis and principal component analysis
Preliminary examination of the correlation matrix of the 12 ERP variables suggested that these variables could be roughly divided into two clusters, where there were high intra-cluster correlations and low inter-cluster correlations. To verify the fitness of a two-factor model for the ERP variables, we fitted the model Y = μ + Λf + u, where Y denoted the 12 × 1 vector of the ERP variables, Λ = {λ ij } denoted a 12 × 2 loading matrix, f = (f1,f2)' denoted the 2 × 1 vector of common factors, and u denoted the 12 × 1 vector of unique factors. This model assumed that there were 2 unobserved latent factors, f1 and f2, which explained most of the variations of the ERP measurements [2]. The maximum likelihood method with the varimax rotation was used to compute the loading estimates. We then performed a principal component analysis on each of the 2 clusters (i.e., using only the variables within the cluster) [2, 3], and obtained the principal component scores pc1 and pc2 from cluster 1 and cluster 2, respectively. For both the factor analysis and the principal component analysis, we assumed that the pedigree members were independent [4] and computed each individual's pc1 and pc2 using the loading estimates. Numerical computations were carried out using the S-plus 6 and the SPSS 12 statistical software packages.
Heritability estimation and univariate and bivariate genome scan
Variance component linkage analysis implemented in SOLAR (v. 2.1.2) [5] was used for heritability estimation, and univariate and bivariate linkage analyses with two covariates, age at interview and sex. We used a COGA microsatellite marker set with 328 markers and an average genetic spacing about 10 cM for the linkage analyses. For the bivariate linkage analysis, bivariate LOD scores are reported with 1 degree of freedom, which are comparable to the univariate LOD scores.
Results
The loading matrix computed from the 2-factor model on ERP showed that a) the loading estimates of the 4 ttth ERP variables and the 4 ntth ERP variables were all >0.7 for factor 1 and nearly zero (<0.001) for factor 2; b) the loading estimates of the 4 ttdt ERP variables were (0.326, 0.311, 0.209, 0.255) for factor 1 and (0.215, 0.583, 0.904, 0.736) for factor 2. These results suggested that the 4 ttth ERP and the 4 ntth ERP variables contributed almost exclusively to factor 1, while the 4 ttdt ERP variables contributed almost exclusively to factor 2. These 2 factors explained approximately 63% of the total variation of the ERP measurements. Our principal component analysis showed that pc1, the principal component score computed from the 8 ERP variables in cluster 1, accounted for approximately 80% of the total variation in cluster 1. Similarly, pc2, the principal component score for the 4 ERP variables in cluster 2, accounted for approximately 92% of the total variation in cluster 2. This approach effectively reduced the original 12 correlated ERP variables to two summary scores, pc1 and pc2.
The heritability of aldx1, ecb21, pc1, and pc2 was 0.25 ± 0.07, 0.30 ± 0.05, 0.38 ± 0.06, and 0.31 ± 0.06, respectively, after adjusting for covariates age at interview and sex.
Maximum multipoint LOD scores and the chromosomal locations
Multipoint LOD scores on chromosome 4. X-axis values are centimorgans. Y-axis values are multipoint LOD scores. Linkage analyses were conducted using multivariable residuals, adjusted for age at interview and sex.
Discussion
Our study suggests that the variations of the 4 ttths and the 4 ntths may be mostly controlled by a major factor while the 4 ttdts by another. Both factors have strong genetic components with relatively high heritabilities.
There is one and only one chromosome region, chromosome 4 q about 100 cM, that is identified by several univariate genome scans, aldx1, ecb21 and pc2, and the evidence of linkage was significantly increased in the two bivariate genome scans: aldx1 and ecb21, aldx1 and pc2.
Previous studies have reported significant linkage between alcoholism and this chromosome 4 region near the class I alcohol dehydrogenase locus ADH3 [6, 7]. Linkage evidence was also found between this chromosome area and EEG results (information provided by GAW14). One study revealed joint consideration of the diagnosis of alcoholism and an ERP (P300, other than the 12 ERPs already discussed) significantly increased the evidence for linkage of those traits to this chromosome area [8].
Through a combination of statistical dimension-reduction techniques (factor and principal component analyses) and bivariate genome scans, our study further suggests that the same quantitative trait locus on the chromosome 4 region, where ADH3 is located, may influence the risk of alcoholism, variations of EEG, and the 4 ttdts. The other 8 ERPs may be controlled by other genetic loci.
We also carried out bivariate genome scans on ecb21 and pc1 and ecb21 and pc2 (data not shown). The joint consideration of the traits did not increase the evidence of linkage of those traits to this chromosome 4 area.
It would be interesting to see the results of a simultaneous trivariate genome scan on aldx1, ecb21, and pc2. However, the software we used (SOLAR) does not allow us to carry out this kind of analysis.
Conclusion
Through factor and principal component analyses on the12 ERP variables, followed by univariate and bivariate genome scans on alcoholism, EEG, and principal component scores of the 12 ERPs, our study suggested that the same quantitative trait locus on the chromosome 4 q region, where ADH3 was located, may influence the risk of alcoholism, variations of EEG, and 4 ttdts of the 12 ERPs.

ok so fiance and i have been preparing both sides of the family and friends too for 7 months now that we are planning a destination wedding in the caribbean. well for the first several months all we heard was oh so and so wont be able to afford go with all their kids blah blah oh so n so say they have no money to go blah blah oh so n so cant take their kids out of school and so n so cant get off work….just all the excuses even though at the time we were telling them the wedding would be 18 or 19 months away. nobody could commit cuz we have no idea how much it will be for them to go (i think they need to do their OWN travel research to figure that out!) so anyways we have been preparing for a wedding and reception with almost no one, like just parents and siblings basically.
so, fast forward this last weekend we go on our site visit and take 1000 pics literally and decide that 20 guests is all we could budget for at the venue we fell in love with and we figure would probbably have a hard time finding 20 guests to be willing to spend that much money or be able to afford it at all. we come home and are really excited to show our beautiful pics, tell ppl we have hired a coordinator, set a date, and chose a venue for ceremony and reception. well now that everybody has seen how beautiful it is, everybody wants to go. and we are in a panic because he has over 20 ppl in his close family alone. with cousins and their kids, and that family is really close. my cousins have more kids than his cousins, but we dont see them much and they all hate each other so i dont know if they could stand each other to come anyway. but regardless, that would be at least twice the guest list with my fam and his.
SO anyway we both feel like we have practically verbally invited everyone. now that ppl have seen pics they act like they want to go. we are realizing that if we cut out cousins, we will be back to only parents and siblings, which is too few for the venue. or if we invite adults only, ppl wont go without their children so that puts us back to too few guests. or we can invite all and hope they decline but if they dont we cannot afford to feed them all without going into massive debt. how do we handle this when we were under the impression beforehand nobody could go so we planned accordingly?
maybe we made a huge mistake by trying to prepare ppl so early on, not knowing what our budget was or flight and hotel rates or anything. but we just got his parents to tell us what they could contribute like, two days before we left for site visit, so we did the very best we could with the info that we had. | https://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/destination-guest-list-delimma/ | 2018-10-15T17:05:18 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

The biggest yearly party in Amsterdam is Kingsday
previously known as Queensday. This year, the biggest orange party will take place on April 27 and it of course, you will have the best Kingsday experience when you are cruising through Amsterdam! This way, you can see the entire city partying and you will also have lots of fun with the people on the other boats.
We are renting out various open boats & Saloon boats during Kingsday. For all boat rental companies, it is the busiest day of the year. We are guaranteed to sell out each year!
The weather conditions on Kingsday are always uncertain. Therefore, we recommend to book boats ‘open boats’ that can easily construct a roof with some small adjustments. Take a look at the Ijdok 1, de Vording, de Royalty, de Havanna, de Nassau of de Nomag. Additionally, you can look at the Saloon boats.
Send an e-mail to info@boatnow.com or send a message in our chat-system on our website. We will find your perfect boat for this amazing day!

“To be a champion, I think you have to see the big picture. It’s not about winning and losing; its about every day hard work and about thriving on a challenge. It’s about embracing the pain that you’ll experience at the end of the race and not being afraid. I think people think too hard and get afraid of a certain challenge.” Summer Sanders
Yesterday was one of my favourite races to date. HPRW Cycling Club ran the first of a three part Nicol Jackson Race series at Elimbah, Queensland Australia. I entered as D but Club Handicapper moved me to C. Challenge accepted. Two years ago I raced this course, got dropped and rode in last. Yesterday I hung on to the lead group and rode in with them sixth. I didn’t make it on the step, but I stepped it up to a new found level. I was advised by my Coach to do several things. I discussed each possibility and locked in a plan. Knowing full well that the best made plans can fail. Failure use to be hard to accept. Now, it is an opportunity to learn. With each race you need to learn in order to progress. This race was about playing. I played with my strengths. I played with my weaknesses. In doing this I discovered the art of tactics. I worked out who was Queen Bee and who were her workers. In under 5kms I knew what was going to go down. At this point I concocted my plan. I switched off any white noise and I took in a lung full of country air and stomped on my pedals. With each pedal stroke I set the wheels in motion.
The course was designed for me. A nice combination of hilly, flat, curvy and straight. Homeward bound it was ON! My threats: Queen Bee was young and light and fast on the flats. She was going to be first. Helper Bee was young and heavy, had endurance but slow on the hills. All of them hit the hills and slowed so this was my opportunity to play. I attacked each hill and dropped them on all three accounts. I let them pass and tucked in behind. I recovered, then pulled a long turn on the front, by way of thanking them for the pain train. At this point (5kms in from finish) I was spent. I made them hurt! It was so much fun! We all got twitchy and the group got messy. I had a word to the newest rider as was keen to see if she could meet Queen Bees match. She gave it a crack! Her smile alone told the story!
Standing on the podium is not even part of my psyche right now. It’s all about the numbers and the lessons. Sixth place is a winning place. And that’s good enough for me.

My knowledge of Jobs was all picked up at random from articles on him, especially a surfeit of them that appeared when he passed away four years ago. But nothing to beat this book in terms of the depth of details.
The book is worth reading because of the innumerable anecdotes and quotes that reveal who the real Steve Jobs was.
I found Jobs a paradox. Because, he had traits that were quite conflicting. He had plenty of negative habits in his personality, that we all associate with sure disaster. But probably because of the strength of his positives, Jobs was able to not only get away with all that, but even reach commanding levels of success.
In many ways, Jobs isn't the typical role model. Rarely showered, and had a strange belief that if you are a vegetarian the body kept itself clean. He had erratic food habits -- sometimes he starved himself, sometimes he indulged in a few chosen food which he abandoned altogether later.
He had a fiery and unpredictable temper; and was very bad at managing people. Very often he was curt and rude. He could easily make people dislike him rather than like him. He curtly rejected new ideas for no rhyme or reason, but accepted them later when it came from someone else. Worse, he sometimes appropriated as his own, some ideas of others.
What made him successful in spite of all these, was his sharp focus and determination to achieve his goals. He wanted his creations to be different, and he was obsessed with details, with a sharp eye for design.
He was a shrewd businessman, and knew which side of the bread was buttered. He was fiercely protective of his products which he wanted to look good as much as efficient. He had near contempt for anything other than Apple. He wanted the users of his products to get everything from the Apple ecosystem. He hated to let anyone else in to the Apple Store.
Jobs differed with Microsoft's route of licensing Windows. He also had contempt and strong hatred for Google's philosophy of open source. That in fact laid the groundwork for one of the most intensely fought software battles. The world is divided on those lines: to be open and accessible to everyone, or be protective, exclusive and privileged.
The book also deals at length with Jobs's struggle with cancer. Even while he was losing the battle there was only one thing that brought a sparkle in his eyes: Apple.
Jobs was a completely complex personality. Definitely one of a kind. He knew often he wasn't being fair in the way he was dealing with people but he didn't know any other way to deal with people.
But at the end of it all, he created products that achieved cult status, products that dramatically changed the way people read books, listened to music, communicated with each other.
Isn't that a great legacy? | https://bpradeepnair.blogspot.com/2015/02/steve-jobs-paradox.html | 2018-10-15T16:56:22 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
Mental Wellness..”
The mental wellness challenge is a set of daily tasks to help you unwind and recharge.
Benefits of a bubble bath
1. Relaxation
A warm soak in a comfortable bath provides the perfect environment for relaxing. As the scents and steam rise, they create a calming atmosphere, encouraging you to de-stress and forget about work, family and other worries, at least temporarily. Banish your cell phone and read a book or just lie back and enjoy your time free from interruption.
2. Aromatherapy in the Bath Tub
Add a relaxing scent to your bubbly bath with a couple of drops of essential oil such as lavender, bergamot, vanilla or cedarwood will encourage natural relaxation. Avoid synthetic fragrances as they can affect the endocrine system and increase the risk of breast cancer.
3. Deep Muscle Relaxation
The hot water encourages deep muscle relaxation to ease cramps, prevent tension headaches and improve muscle elasticity. Follow your bubble bath with a gentle stretch to improve posture and reduce back problems.
4. Detoxing
Make your bubble bath hot enough to produce a sweat to remove toxins from the body naturally. The increased circulation stimulates the lymphatic system which sweats out toxins and increases lymph drainage.
5. Hot Baths Boost Immunity
The heat of the steam stimulates the immune system and improves health. An improved immune system will help your body fight bacteria and viruses which should mean less coughs and colds naturally.
6. Bubble Baths for Healthy Skin
Bubble bath benefits include glowing, healthy skin. A warm soak increases blood circulation, providing nourishment to damaged tissue. In addition, using a loofah or natural sponge to slough away dead skin cells will leave you with soft, glowing skin. Use a pumice stone and give your feet a good exfoliating scrub too. Moisturize your skin after your bubbly bath with coconut oil or olive oil and you will quickly eradicate any patches of dry or itchy skin.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. -- A 22-year-old resident of Bridgeport was sentenced Wednesday by U.S. District Judge Vanessa L. Bryant in Hartford to 33 months of imprisonment, followed by three years of supervised release, for firearm and drug offenses, authorities said.
According to court documents and statements made in court, on Nov. 28, 2015, a Bridgeport police officer performing an inventory search of a vehicle driven by the defendant, George Sanchez – also known as “Little G” – found a loaded .40-caliber semi-automatic pistol, a neoprene face mask and approximately 44 bags of heroin.
Part of the handgun’s serial number had been scratched off, prosecutors said.
Sanchez has been detained since his arrest on Jan. 6.
On June 29, he pleaded guilty to one count of possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number.
The matter was investigated by the Bridgeport Police Department, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the FBI’s Bridgeport Safe Streets Task Force.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Alina P. Reynolds.

Despite her lack of cold weather fur, Sarrah excitedly danced in our rare snow. Many years, we do not get any snow near sea level. Some winter’s we get a trace, others an inch or so as we did for Sarrah’s first, possibly instilling a lifelong zest for snow play.
On extreme occasion we get Buried with several inches, those heavy snowfalls were delightful, for Sarrah. Her eyes got bigger; she made whimpers of excitement, when we finally got outside she would buck and bounce, jumping into the thick of it. I used the longer leash, usually reserved for parks and beach walks, extending a fifteen-foot roving radius of restrained freedom for galloping through yards. Like a kid off on a snow day I would bundle up and head out for the best, to turn her loose in the backyard to run, roll, dive and play. She would gallop through the thick bright white fluff and occasionally stuff her nose into it, snorting with excitement. It seemed that the huge fluffy flakes were her favorite kind, when the opportunity to get out into it came falling, we did.
Sarrah discovered regardless of the amount of this mysterious cold illuminating white stuff, it only stays here for a few days and then as quickly, it goes… away.
Ours doesn’t go away until April!! I love watching my dog in the snow….even the word snow makes her excited!! | https://bryangoffe.com/2013/12/09/snow/ | 2018-10-15T16:39:11 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

Report of CanJam London ’17
A press release from Highresaudio announced that they are stopping their streaming of MQA encoded music due to the fact that MQA inherently does not reproduce the original signal and therefore isn’t lossless. Further, the folks behind MQA state that their solution retains only those aspects of the ultrasonic signal that were significant to audible sound quality. So by default the resulting MQA encoded music will not match the original. Others in the music industry have voiced similar complaints. Further, it is unclear to me on whether you can apply any quality control to the data stream being sent. I am holding to my original position that MQA is an approach to attempt to coerce hardware, software and streaming vendors to license this new proprietary solution rather than using the existing open standards.

Jerry Sullivan: A big game for Bills, but not a must-win
Playoffs? The way the players see it, the Bills have been in the playoffs for awhile now, ever since they fell to 6-6 with a loss at home to the Patriots early in December.
"It's evident," said Micah Hyde, the newly minted Pro Bowl safety. "Everybody in this locker room understands it's a playoff mentality, a playoff game this week. It's been a playoff game the last couple of weeks. So everyone's aware of the situation we're in.
"Win or go home."
That's been the refrain since the first Patriots game. Every game is a crisis, a must-win. It's a useful way to rally the troops, to create a common, unified sense of purpose. As Hyde said, they've taken that mentality onto the field from the season opener. Sean McDermott has it placed above their lockers as a reminder: "Playoff caliber."
But the fact is, Sunday's game in Foxborough is not a must-win game. Sure, it would be an historic win, lift them to 9-6 and put them on the verge of the playoffs. But the analytics say they'll still have a good chance to break the playoff drought if they lose to the Patriots and win the season finale at Miami the following week..
Look, I don't fully understand the reasoning behind these figures. It has a lot to do with what happens with other teams, particularly the Ravens. But FiveThirtyEight is pretty reliable at predicting major elections, so I'll defer to them on the matter.
So it's only natural to wonder if this might ease the sense or urgency, or if the Bills might even — gasp! — be looking past the Pats this week. When I asked Sean McDermott, he acted as if I'd questioned the very meaning of Christmas, or worse yet, the Process.
"No," McDermott said with a dismissive smile. "Every game is important. We have a healthy respect for this opponent."
Richie Incognito wasn't buying the look-ahead angle, either. The Pro Bowl guard was in full must-win mode.
"You can't look past the Patriots," he said, laughing. "They're the AFC East champs for, like, the 90th time in a row, man. You do not look past these people."
Still, it's understandable if any rational person would be tempted to put this one in the loss column and move on to the season finale. I understand the notion of "any given Sunday," but the Patriots lose a significant conference game at Gillette Stadium about as often as the Republicans lose a senate race in Louisiana.
You know how long it has been since the Pats lost a conference home game in December with playoff positioning on the line? Try 2002, the second year Tom Brady was the starting quarterback. They haven't lost any regular-season home game to an AFC East opponent with Brady playing a full game since the Jets won there in 2006.
Brady is 27-3 against the Bills. One of those losses came in the 2014 finale, when the Pats had home field sewn up for the playoffs. Brady played a half, and Rob Gronkowski and Julian Edelman didn't play at all. The Bills have never beaten the Pats in a game that mattered in the second half of a season since Brady became the man.
Incognito's math was a little off. The Patriots have won nine straight division titles, not 90. It's still an NFL record. At 11-3, they're on the verge of an eighth straight season with 12 or more victories, which would be another record.
Brady is tied with Peyton Manning, with seven straight 12-win seasons and 11 such seasons overall. It's another chance to distance himself from Manning, his old rival, who is no longer included in debates about whether he or Brady is the greatest QB of all time.
Here's an esoteric stat: The Pats have reached the 11-win mark before their final game 11 times in the Brady-Belichick era. They're 11-0 in the next game, the one that got them to 12. So it's hard to imagine them letting down Sunday against a Bills team they beat by 20 points in Buffalo three weeks ago — a potential playoff team, but essentially an average one.
Bill Belichick is a great coach, maybe the best ever, but he's even more dangerous later in the season, and in a division rematch. On the Wednesday conference call with the Buffalo media, Belichick went on at length about the Bills' defense, how "well-coordinated and well-coached" it was and what a great job they do of disguising their looks.
It sounded as if the hooded genius was telling McDermott that he understands their defense as well as the Bills do — which is probably true at this point. Belichick always has an agenda. He's always searching for the tiniest edge, so it wouldn't surprise me if he was trying to get in the Bills' heads and make them adjust their defensive scheme.
Belichick never gives you the same look the second time around. He's at his best when he has more time to prepare, which is why he's the winningest postseason coach of all time. The Bills aren't the only ones who treat every December game like a playoff week. The Patriots have been doing it for the entire length of the Bills' 17-year playoff drought.
On Sunday, the Pats will be playing their first home game since Nov. 26, and only their second at Gillette since October. They finish with home games against the Bills and Jets, needing to continue their home dominance in the division to finish 13-3 and secure home-field advantage for the AFC playoffs in their quest to reach a seventh straight AFC title game. You can bet they won't be looking past the Bills.
"We expect everybody's best each week," Belichick said, "and I'm sure we'll get that from Buffalo. They play well every week. They play hard. They're tough. They're physical, they're smart, they make it harder on every team and I'm sure they'll do the same for us.
"We need to play better than we did up there three weeks ago, I know that. So that's what we're preparing for, to try to play our best game of the year."
On the day before Christmas, with the playoffs looming and so much at stake, chances are the Patriots will do just that. And if the Bills lose, they'll be telling us how next week's game in Miami is the real must-win. Maybe McDermott should rest his starters.

5 Highlights That Will Make This Year’s Talent Connect Special
September 8, 2016
Talent Connect Las Vegas is just around the corner and we can no longer contain our excitement. Over 130 speakers are wrapping up preparing their TED-style talks and influencers are getting ready to unleash their knowledge. This year, we’re expecting thousands of companies represented and over 4,000 attendees.
If you’ve been to—or just heard about—past events, you know that just how much learning, inspiration, and networking are packing into the 3 day event and this year, we have some extra special things in the works. Below is just a little taste:
1. The legendary Sir Richard Branson will share his inspiring story in a fireside chat
We are thrilled to have nabbed the forward-thinking Sir Richard Branson as a Talent Connect keynote speaker. In his keynote, Branson will talk about a business’ most valuable asset: people, which he calls “the lifeblood of the brand.” If you get the right mix of people working for you, chances of success are far greater than you think.
The innovative businessman will walk through his own journey and lessons learned from founding Virgin Group, which today is made up of more than 200 companies in everything from hotels to space travel. He’ll also talk about the importance of company culture—and how talent acquisition leaders play a massive role in forming that culture and therefore, are crucial to a business’ future success.
2. New skill-building workshops to expand your professional horizons
Every year, we have different session tracks audience members can pick and choose from. This year’s tracks include Employer Branding, Leadership & Strategy, Recruiting Essentials, and Succeeding with LinkedIn where you can learn best practices and hear customer success stories. And, there’s one more track we’re particularly excited about: Expand Your Horizon.
The Expand Your Horizon track includes skill-building workshops aimed to help you overcome any challenge that comes your way, whether professional or personal. These sessions range from how to manage stress (we all need this, no matter what role we’re in!) to effective listening to thinking about how our body language robs us of our “leadership presence.”
In addition, the comedian-slash-inspiration-master Deborah Frances-White will host a workshop on the “Power of Play” to teach people how to unleash their inner child—what she calls one of the best moves anyone can make for their careers.
3. The stories of industry needle-movers that will inspire your own recruiting transformation
Talent Connect is a conference by recruiters for recruiters and our goal is to feature stories that will change the way you think about your job. And we are not saying this flippantly -- year over year we get feedback that many of you find ideas during the conference that have transformed your careers.
This year, we have selected some of the top recruiters and the hottest brands across the globe to share their wisdom. Those talks include Netflix speaking about how to form a true partnership with your stakeholders, GE Digital explaining how a century-old company has transformed itself as a techie heaven, Starbucks lifting the curtain to reveal how it has optimized its recruiting funnel by relying on ecommerce tactics and data. And these are just 3 out of 80+ breakout sessions -- there is so much to be learned.
4. The opportunity to network with peers from across the globe
Year over year, attendees tell us how thrilled they are to speak with and learn from peers from diverse backgrounds. And while in past years we’ve had several conferences in different regions, this year we’ve decided to combine our conferences and bring everyone together in Las Vegas for our first ever global Talent Connect. That’s thousands of attendees from all over the world who will share their diverse ideas and learn from one another on a global scale.
And for those of you who love networking, Talent Connect provides multiple opportunities to create new meaningful business relationships:
The welcome reception: Starting at 6pm on Wednesday, October 5th, the welcome reception will be in the central gathering spot of the event -- the inLounge. This is a great opportunity to kick off the conference right and meet some of your peers on Day 1.
The welcome reception from Talent Connect 2015 in Anaheim
Evening event at the Palms Resort: Talent Connect is known for throwing a really memorable celebration for recruiters on Day 2 of the event, and this year will be no exception. Make sure to join us for the evening at 7:15pm on Thursday, October 6th and get ready to socialize. Need a little visual evidence of the bonding opportunities from years past? Say hello to our giant foosball table from Talent Connect in 2013:
During lunches and between sessions: We strongly encourage you to break out of your comfort zone and sit with people you don’t know during lunches and breakout sessions. This is a great time to exchange ideas and make new connections.
Mobile app messaging: Once you arrive at the event, make sure to check out the mobile app. It will not only help you stay up to date with the agenda, and plan your sessions, but also message other attendees and exchange notes and ideas.
5. For the LinkedIn geeks: Expert advice to boost your and your company’s profile, and exclusive insights on LinkedIn products
Do you want to make your personal LinkedIn profile and your company page go from drab to fab (who doesn’t!)? Attendees at Talent Connect will have a chance to do just that at the My Story booth in the inLounge. Profile consultants will be available to give you key insights on your profile and will even provide new headshots then and there.
LinkedIn will also be showcasing extreme career page makeovers, displaying before and after snapshots of your LinkedIn pages. We all know employer branding is a BIG deal and this will help you make sure you’re marketing your personal and company pages effectively on LinkedIn.
Finally, as every year, we are excited to share with you the LinkedIn product roadmap and all of our latest innovations on the main stage. For those of you who want an even deeper dive into the latest products and how to make the most of them, check out the “Succeeding with LinkedIn” sessions.
Want to make Talent Connect memories of your own? It’s not too late to join us in Las Vegas on October 5-7.

Page 3: The nature of strategic partnership
Strategic partnerships are long term, exclusive partnerships between Royal & SunAlliance and key brokers using the Energy proposition. They are designed to secure the future success of all partners and are based on:
- a shared vision of the future
- common goals
- clear understanding and commitment from everyone involved
- mutual benefits
- innovation and integrated solutions.
The partnership is not about offering special discount on price but about allowing brokers to gain advantages by using other benefits and resources to win and secure long term customers.
Why Energy?
The name Energy was chosen because it symbolises the values and behaviours of Royal & SunAlliance people and broker partners. Having selected 150 broker partners, the objective was to help them to grow their businesses and by doing so to increase Royal & SunAlliance’s share of that business. The emphasis was on customer service levels as well as providing additional first class value-added benefits. Energy works because those operating it:
- understand each customer’s unique needs
- plan and achieve mutual goals
- provide the tools, resources and service to achieve goals.
Because no two brokers are identical, the Energy proposition is designed to provide a unique match to each Energy Broker. A ‘relationship manager’ looks after each Energy Broker to aid the understanding and analysis of the customer’s needs and goals. A joint development plan is then agreed which highlights what Royal & SunAlliance needs to deliver to support the relationship. Every plan is unique. Service levels are mutually agreed and form the basis of delivery. Previously, the relationship with customers had been focused through one individual whose responsibility was for the management of a broker account, and almost all communication, negotiations, and contact was transacted through that one person, despite the backup of sound underwriting and claims teams.
This often resulted in a classic ‘process bottleneck’, which slowed down the delivery and created difficulties in maintaining the required service level. Energy required a fundamental change in the nature of the relationship between brokers and Royal & SunAlliance. A ‘relationship manager’ controls the overall business plan and acts as a co-ordinator between different business divisions and the customer. However, on a day-to-day business the relationship is disseminated to empowered individuals who produce relationships at all levels, hence eliminating bottlenecks. | https://businesscasestudies.co.uk/royal-sunalliance/building-sound-customer-relationships/the-nature-of-strategic-partnership.html | 2018-10-15T18:11:07 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
In the first week of December 2017 I received a rather strong intuition. More than an intuition, it was more like a “demand.” And basically, this intuition told me to largely “disconnect” from the media.
And I immediately did. And the positive impact on my emotional well-being was so profound—not to mention all the extra time I had to do things that were really important—that I’m going to detail for you exactly what happened.
The gist of it was, I had this deep conviction that if I entered 2018 continuing to follow the media with all the constant “hit refresh” fervor I had been doing for the past…almost 20 years now???…I would become completely lost, utterly swallowed up in the sea of outrage and schadenfreude and continually upset and incapable of getting anything done in my life.
Now, I’ve been telling myself exactly this for years, but never really “stuck” to any sort of “media fast.” The possibility of “missing out” on any type of hugely important “breaking news” was just too great.
But the fact that this intuition in December so profoundly struck me that I actually went through with a media fast for any significant length of time…it was almost spooky, is what it was. It was a very strong signal.
First, the details of the fast:
No visiting of my usual online newsy “haunts”
No aimless browsing on Twitter or Facebook for news
No clicking on “Trending Topics”
No clicking on comment sections
Shutting off “news” push notifications on my phone
Now, what I could do is look up a specific topic—say, North Korea—on Google and read several articles. When I did so, I tried to stick with the most informative, rational sources of news I could find instead of articles with definite agendas (this often ended up depositing me at financial news sites, seemingly written for high-powered people who don’t need to have touch-button manipulation performed on their primal ids 100s of times a day).
I also picked up news second-hand from other people (can’t be avoided), as well as from glances at the Facebook trending topics list (also can’t be avoided; 3 lines of the stuff reads like a haiku of global dysfunction) and even the headlines on the newspapers at my local shop.
The second really big part of the media fast is what I did with all that extra time—and there was a lot of it, more than I ever expected.
I enrolled in several online classes as well as a program to learn Portuguese. Whenever I felt the anxious craving to consume more news/schadenfreude, I turned to the classes.
After about a week on this fast, I felt 75% more calm, positive, and productive in my life. After two weeks, I felt like a completely different person. All that collective negative energy—both from the media itself and from the reactivity of the public—was no longer in my life.
Before, I might have been stirred up with anger (often from the very moment I woke up still in bed, reading my phone) over several different outrages a day—energy, intensified from the vitriol from social media and comment sections, that I would carry (in my mind and body) long after the story itself had been read. But now I re-routed my energy to things that seemed more productive.
To be clear, this is not about putting one’s head in the sand. If anything, I want to understand my world and its important issues even more clearly—but I desire to go about it in a very proactive and empowered way. I still care about social issues, but I want to divert some of that empathy and desire for positive change into making myself more truly educated on the topics, increasing my skill set, and—and this might be the most important—working to make myself a better person.
Because it truly does start with me. I can’t help fix the world if I’m an anxious, angry, gibbering mess triggered by every bit of propaganda from every side, swimming in a sea of rage populated by other anxious angry people and assorted bots.
Will I go back to my previous online media habits? No. I’m planning to invest in one good weekly news magazine (print, to cut down on the amount of time I’m in front of a screen), one good newspaper, subscribe to a manageable number of pertinent websites that email me direct notifications regarding new stories, and continue to proactively research specific current events.
And I will update you on how it goes.

How to list and sell your home in a competitive market
Spring’s home-buying season is just around the corner and those looking to sell their homes are getting ready to impress buyers. To make sure your property stands out from the crowd, Yahoo Finance invited Scott McGillivray of DIY Network’s ‘Buyers Bootcamp’ for tips on how to give your home a competitive edge.
Remove half of your belongings
For the average person who has a home in decent condition, McGillivray says to start by taking a few weeks to declutter your home by removing half of your furniture, clothes, books, toys — in every room and category — to open up the space.
Avoid cramming your stuff into other areas of your house like your basement, garage, or attic because potential buyers will want to open up every door for a peek at what’s behind it. The best thing to do is pack up half of your belongings and move it to a location off the property into a storage unit, says McGillivray.
Take photos in all seasons
“There’s no excuse not to have the best version of your home captured,” says McGillivray. If you’re putting your home up for sale in a colder month like February or March, there may not be any leaves on the trees and your lawn could look dull or brown. So take pictures of your home during the summer when the flowers are in bloom, when the trees have green leaves, and your photos will stand out against others who have snow in their driveway, says the DIY host.
Replace anything people touch
Smaller upgrades can go a long way, especially when it comes to replacing small fixtures that people touch all the time like old door knobs, cabinet hardware, and light switches. When a buyer comes through your home, it’s not just a visual experience, they’re experiencing your home with all their senses.
“It was actually researched that replacing your front door was the single highest return on investment renovation that you could do to your home because it creates a sense of security,” says McGillivray. “If you have a worn-out door that people have to fiddle with to get in, the whole house immediately feels insecure, old and busted,” he says.
Compile all your manuals and records
Completing the sale can often fall through toward the end of the process for many reasons. But to help solidify the deal and show the buyer you’re buttoned up and ready to go as a seller, it helps to compile all your renovation records, warranties, paint colors, keys, and appliance manuals into one easy-to-read binder, says McGillivray.
“What makes the best purchase? It doesn’t have to be a perfect house, it doesn’t have to be a fully renovated house – but one that’s been loved is typically one that has a ton of potential and a ton of value,”McGillivray says.
For more tips, check out “Buyer’s Bootcamp” on the DIY Network every Saturday night at 10 p.m.

On Friday while visiting the wonderfully funny blog called, Blue Skies and Yellow Dogs I read that "The Zadge", writer and star of this blog had an addiction to this show and that she spent a whole snowy Denver weekend watching Season 1 which consists of 7 episodes. She spoke highly of the show and I thought, "Hmmmm, I'll have to see if I can watch a little of that this weekend."
Well folks, gotta tell ya, I spent the whole of my Saturday afternoon watching it and watched all of Season 1...7 episodes, staying up to 11:30 pm! I know, I know...that's just how I roll, wild and crazy on a Saturday night!
Actually, it was wonderful! I felt like I spent the weekend in the English Countryside at the beautiful Downton Estate. Being pampered and waited upon by lovely ladies maids and eating delicious food prepared fresh by a wonderful cook. What a spell-binding, dramatic and humorous show!
First you have the beautiful Lady Mary, who is the rightful heir of Downton but due to the fact that she was born with the wrong genitals she cannot inherit Downton as it must be inherited by a male heir and her mother and father only had three daughters. Therefore Mary must make a profitable marriage. But Mary is not a docile, submissive, little English flower...nope, she's intelligent, ambitious, seductive and unwilling to conform to convention! I love her spirit!
But the most intriguing and interesting character by far...the woman I want to grow up to be is the matriarch of the Crawley Family, the Dame Maggie Smith as Lady Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham. Well, actually, I don't want to grow up to be exactly like her because she is locked in the past and is not at all happy about new inventions and the world changing. She's also very much a snob. But she's ambitious and ready to do what she has to do to protect her family! She is also hilarious in a dry, droll way.
Today I was visiting Jo at A Majority of Two and trying to catch up on some of her past posts and wouldn't you know it, but Jo has Downton Abbey Fever too! If you get a chance, head over and read her take on the show. She shared a great video with the best one-liners by Lady Violet Crawley. I hope she doesn't mind that I borrowed it to share here on my blog too. Great show! Can't wait to watch more.
Yay!! Welcome to the club! Isn't it just fab? The Dowager has the best lines!
Yay! A comment from the Zadge??? Wow, how thrilled am I! Yep, it is fab and I was sad because only Season 1 is on NetFlix, but PBS website has season 2, I watched Episode 1 last night. There goes my social life...not that I had one :)
Alicia,
I have the fever, too. I read about it on a blog and watched season 1 in 3 days. Now I have gotten the PBS app for my iPad and I am watching season 2. It is wonderful!
Carol
I wonder if I can get the app for my android phone? Hmmm, I better not...lol. I think I'm definitely going to start watching episodes during my lunch hour at work tho. We should start a club :)
Well at least it is not Star Search...ooopss American Idol. It does look interesting.
Hey! Don't be hating on my American Idol!!! You know I'm addicted to that as well. You should check out Downton Abbey though, let me know what you think, from a man's point of view.
Well you know I not very manly, certainly not like the dirty dude. My macho days, as lily livered as they were, have rode off into the sunset. But yes I should check it out. Professor McGonigall was my favorite teacher at Hogwartz, I actually have a crush on her.
My hubbs and I love this show! Yes Violet is the funniest and best one of them all :O) But I do not love Lady Mary, she is so mean to her sister :O)
My fav sis is Cybil, the young sweet one :O)
So glad you found it :O)
Summur! Your hubbs loves it too? Then maybe men will find it interesting. I love the clothes don't you? I love Anna, the poor little maid. She's so sweet. And I do so want her and Bates to end up together! I'm gonna go see if there's a facebook page for Downton Abbey that we can all join and converse together about the show! Say hi to that baby!
Welcome to the bandwagon!
I can hardly believe you're just now hearing about it! This is my second season of addiction.
I know! I'm always behind on everything. I didn't even start watching American Idol until the 3rd season! But I'm hooked now. I'm watching season 2 on the pbs website, I'm on episode#4!
Alicia, I read about the series on a friend's blog and got online to watch last season in a marathon afternoon watch-a-thon. I was hooked and couldn't wait for this season's episodes. I love the series! OMG I can't believe Lord Grantham w/the maid! What was his problem?
Uh Oh! I'm not that far where Lord Grantham is with the maid! Yikes! I'm not happy to hear that's in the future!
Oh I have some friends that are totally addicted to that show. They love it. I still havn't see it, but I will definitely have to try and catch it. Sounds like a lovely show and I understand the scenery is fabulous.
Thanks also for your most gracious comment on my bdrm. I really appreciate it. Hugs, Marty
The scenery is beautiful Marty...but the CLOTHES! OMgosh, the clothes are so gorgeous and the jewelry! You're going to love it.
It looks as if you folks haven't watched any british serials before. They're all highly addictive; the settings , the plot and the characters, fascinating.
What interests me is the metamorphosis that the actors undergo through the years. Maggie Smith, for example. Her acting is even more refined now, in her old age,yet I liked her more when she was younger and more of an 'english rose'.
DUTA - You know, I haven't watched a British serial before. I don't watch a lot of television. I have my few favorite shows and then I force myself to turn off the TV and read or blog or do something different, but this show has really captured my attention!
I was intrigued by your comment about Maggie Smith and googled her. She was so beautiful when she was younger. Not that she's ugly now, I wish I could age so gracefully. I loved her as Professor Mcgonnigal in the Harry Potter movies.
Oh Alicia - I have the fever bad! This week I found a new book - a non-fiction - called Lady Almina - The Real Downton Abbey. I'm loving it! | https://calangel58.blogspot.com/2012/02/ive-got-feverdownton-abbey-fever.html | 2018-10-15T17:17:17 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

Divest Beverly from Fossil Fuels!
Divest the University of Notre Dame Sydney:..)
Devon County Council - Divest from Fossil FuelsPensions.
Fossil Free Jewish Theological Seminary!Climate change is accelerating. We are witness to the increasing impacts of anthropogenic warming on the planet; in this last year alone our country experienced record-breaking heat, droughts, and hurricanes, which impacted hundreds of thousands of people and cost our country hundreds of billions of dollars. The scientific community is unanimous in connecting the acceleration and intensification of these climate disasters to the burning of fossil fuels. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which includes more than 1,300 scientists from around the world, concur that warming beyond 2 degrees Celsius will cause irreparable, catastrophic damage to our world. Much of this damage will be felt by those least able to bear these burdens, and least responsible for warming the atmosphere. To remain below 2 degrees, we can release no more than 500 gigatons of CO2 into the atmosphere. Yet, fossil fuel companies such as Exxon, BP, and Peabody have over 2,795 gigatons of CO2 equivalent in reserve. These companies already have the financial impetus to surpass the 500 gigaton mark. The scientific consensus is clear and overwhelming; we cannot safely burn even half of global fossil-fuel reserves without dangerously warming the planet for several thousand years..

There is a sometimes disconcerting change that happens to a foreigner who remains in a place long. The color and novelties of a culture, the satisfaction of noticing the small ways of doing things that are different to one’s own, during what Hemingway called the “spectacle stage of appreciation”, are replaced by the an ever-growing saturation of practicality and expertise, a maturing, deeper knowledge of the host culture that slowly renders the childlike traveler into a grownup.
At times remaining stationary dulls the wonder and euphoria that travelers relish, but if he or she is smart, it can add weight to a story, or to the creation of fiction; it can add depth and credibility to a character sketch, and knowledge earned from a bit of sendentariness should be embraced. A more keen eye can spot cliché and stereotype. Humor can be uncovered that is a smarter and more satisfying humor, even if understood by an ever-shrinking audience (i.e. at least marginally observant bilingual people). I always walk a fine line between moaning and cultural exploration. I find there a rich environment for exposing the ridiculous while maintaining respect and admiration. It is a challenge that is stimulating.
Christopher Hitchens said that he kept and read “two sets of books,” meaning he fed from divergent points of view to enrich his knowledge of the world around him. I seem to have always been stuck on the idea that novelty is the key to understanding the world, or at least the key to maintaining the desire to understand the world. But as I become more rooted in this country, I still always feel like a foreigner here, in varying degrees, and it is rarely a bad thing.
My “two sets of books” entail both a search for material that supports my already formed opinion, and my openness to things that I would not normally embrace automatically, things or people that I simply do not understand. Because there is usually some surprising enlightenment on the other side, a side which may be covered in decidedly less-green grass. Unless it is boring, I don’t consider mingling with the strange and unconventional, which can also be the overtly traditional, a waste of my time. No, staying in one place hinders neither my craving for adventure and true world knowledge nor my ability to pursue it.
