What happened
Shares of tiny defense contractor Kratos Defense & Security Solutions (NASDAQ: KTOS) climbed another 11.6% in the month of June, adding to the big 35% gain the stock enjoyed in May.
So what
Why is Kratos' stock gaining altitude? Let me count the ways. Kratos had three big announcements come out last month, beginning with a June 6 order for six "High Performance Unmanned Aerial Drone System Aircraft" from an unspecified "government customer" for an unspecified price.
One week later, on June 13, Kratos announced that it would debut its XQ-222 Valkyrie and UTAP-22 Mako jet-powered combat drones. Both drones boast "near supersonic speeds" and the ability to carry weapons, and "are designed to function as wingmen to manned aircraft in contested airspace." Kratos noted that both drones will sell for between $2 million and $3 million per unit, with the higher figure presumably attaching to the larger Valkyrie drone. Valkyrie was developed to under Air Force Research Labs' Low Cost Attritable Aircraft Technology (LCAAT) program. It is 30 feet long, and can fly more than 3,000 nautical miles before refueling. It's expected to make its first flight next spring.
Finally, toward the end of the month, Kratos confirmed that the U.S. Navy has placed an order for $34.6 million worth of its BQM-177A Subsonic Aerial Target (SSAT) Drone Systems, and awarded the company a further $2.5 million in funding to provide logistics support for the SSATs.
Now what
The SSAT contract in particular promises to push Kratos toward its promised goal of turning profitable in the second quarter of this year -- which is good news for investors, who may have difficulty valuing Kratos' stock with its currently negative P/E ratio. Meanwhile, the "high performance" and combat drone announcements hold out the promise of growing profits for years to come.
How fast those profits grow will determine whether Kratos' P/E ratio is justified -- once it finally turns positive.

Obsessive behaviors occur when one is trying to make themselves feel better; it is a mechanism created by the need to sooth, compensate, or satiate an issue. The behavior is a way of trying to balance out an internal problem. It is an unconscious way of trying to take care of an unrecognized issue, for sometimes the need behind the behavior goes unnoticed, and therefore one is not able to cope with the real problem. Any kind of behavior that occurs over and over again because of a desire can be deemed obsessive. The desire can be strong or slight, but the need to do it feels necessary.
In order to feel better, one instigates the behavior and the need to feel better disappears, but only momentarily. If the underlying problem is not solved, the obsessive behavior will return. Letting go of these patterns can happen when one realizes the reason behind the behavior. Usually acknowledgement eases the need, but not always. Sometimes the issue stems from a deeper problem and one that needs to be looked at more closely. Imagine if you did not feel safe because of something that happened in your past, something you never really acknowledged, and yet still exists within you as a fear today? Anytime that feeling is triggered by either a small or large event, you may find yourself compensating with obsessive behaviors in order to feel better and inadvertently safer.
Unfortunately, no issue is solved by our patterns or behaviors, for nothing we do, other than coping with the real problem, will help us feel better. The behavior will be triggered by anything that feels similar to the core problem. What this means is, not only is someone dealing with an issue and its related occurrences, but they are also dealing with an obsessive behavior. It can be a cycle of need, desire, and unresolved contentedness. For no matter what one does, without purposefully acknowledging the problem, one will never feel better no matter how hard one tries. If you find yourself trying to feel better, look at what just happened; look at what you just felt or thought. Was it a trigger that caused you to seek comfort? Don't look at how you are trying to feel better; look instead at what the trigger was. If it doesn't make sense to you, pay attention to whenever you are trying to feel better by doing whatever it is you do.
Pay attention not to your response, but to what occurred just before it. It may be varied, but there will arise a pattern at some point. That pattern and the triggers point you to the real problem. You need to be objective because you may have developed ulterior triggers somewhat unrelated to the real problem. By encompassing all of the triggers, you will find the true problem that connects them all. If you look at what is happening and look at yourself internally, what feeling arises? What thoughts are projected into your mind? Connect the trigger to yourself; find the reason that initiated your responses. This is the real issue at hand, and not the obsessive behaviors that are caused by it. When you come to terms with why you began your behaviors, your behaviors themselves will be unnecessary.

Funny Dog Tags
We all know that a lost dog wearing dog tags on his or her collar has the best chance of coming home quicker. When your pet is missing, time is of the essence. The sooner your dog is returned to you, the better it is for them.
But while the dog tag plays such an important role in keeping your pup safe, that doesn't mean you can't have some fun at the same time. In fact, a set of funny dog tags can actually increase the likelihood that a passerby will not only notice your missing dog but urge that individual to stop and take a look at the tags. That contact between your lost dog and a Good Samaritan is the first and most important step towards a reunion with your beloved family member.
A funny or clever dog tag is a bold way to catch the eye of a stranger who might spot your pup wandering around aimlessly.
What Are Funny Things To Put On A Dog Tag?
The sky's the limit. You can put any sort of clever, irreverent, and silly phrase or pun on your dog tag. Be flippant, be provocative, be weird. Just as long as your dog's tags are as unique as your pup. There are many shapes of funny dog tags out there. Most tags are commonly available in simple shapes – round, square, oval, even rectangle.
But funny dog tags go one step further in the form of special shapes like a bone, a heart, a wine glass, a taco, even a cat face or a strawberry. Combining a fun shape with a short witty phrase can turn a simple functional means of ID into something a lot more charismatic and personal to you and your pooch.
You can have a short and funny message on your pet ID tag but don't let that interfere with placing all the information necessary for bringing the dog home again. A funny dog tag will take up one whole side of the tag so you need to consider that you will have a single surface upon which you can write (or engrave) your pet's basic data.
What Should I Write On My Dog Tag?
Keep it very basic. You have an extremely limited amount of real estate upon which you can write what passersby need to read to help your dog find his or her way home. Now most tags would give you two sides to work from, but a funny dog tag is using one of those sides to be cute and cheeky.
With space at a premium on a tag that is often no larger than the size of a quarter, the tag has to be brief and informative. Here is what you need to include:
Your Phone Number
It remains the fastest method for someone to let you know they have found your missing dog. The phone number you include on the tag should be the one that is answered quickest. For most people, that would be their cell phone. A home or office number might be the second best choice, though if you have enough room to afford space for two numbers, you can have all of your bases covered.
Medical Information
TA dog that requires urgent medication or has some condition that places the animal in danger if he or she is on their own for an extended period of time should have this information on its tag. Again, you don't have a lot of space to work with, however, you should at least insist that someone call you if and when the dog is located. You can explain what is needed, in full, over the phone.
Microchip Information
The microchip is one of the fastest methods for bringing your dog home. Alerting someone who finds your dog that he or she has that microchip can make it easier to reunite your pet with your family in the event a passerby can't reach you at your provided phone number.
What Should You Not Put On A Dog Tag?
Here is where we address the growing debate over dog tags and what should or should not be included. The information you are including on the tag is now going to become public knowledge in a short period of time. But that's what you want. You are hoping someone calls your phone to say they have found your dog and would like to return him or her at your earliest convenience.
But the world we live in is not all sunshine and rainbows, and while most people have good hearts and helpful intentions, there are people out there who may not be so pleasant or accommodating. This brings us to the present bone of contention (ahem) over the proper way to prepare a dog tag: Do you or do you not put your address on your pet's dog tag?
There are compelling arguments to each side of the debate. One the one hand, if your pup goes missing in your neighborhood, having your address listed on their ID tag is the fastest way for them to get home to you. One glance at the tag will inform anyone who sees it exactly where your dog belongs.
On the other hand, putting that kind of private information on your dog tag does mean that anyone who can get your dog to come near will know where home is. If your dog is easily coaxed by hearing his or her name called out loud, it's easy for a stranger to approach them and find out your address. Not everyone feels comfortable with their home's location being common knowledge.
This is why you may want to leave off your address from your dog's tags. As much as you want to have your pup brought back, you may feel uncomfortable having a stranger come to your house with (or even without) your dog and find yourself in some kind of urgent trouble.
Should You Put Your Dog's Name On Its Tags?
The choice is ultimately yours. But regardless of what you end up doing, you need to consider the realities of your pet becoming lost. For those pet owners who live in large metropolitan cities, it may be a good idea not to put your pet's name on his or her tag and keep it to one or two phone numbers and medical concerns or microchip information.
However, if you live in a more secluded neighborhood where you have a closer knit community of neighbors and friends who might come across your dog after it has sneaked out without your knowledge, then you might want to put the dog's name on the tag. It helps to get people focused on bringing the dog home and knowing they have the right dog in question.
How Do You Make Dog Tags Not Jingle?
It's a common problem that many pet owners and even their dogs find rather annoying. Dog tags jingle jangle from even the slightest movement of your pet, whether they're standing up, running, even scratching an itch – those tags can really start to clang about.
One of the quick fix alternatives to jingling dog tags is to simply remove them. But while this may seem like an easy and harmless choice, you never know when your dog is going to get lost. Step outside for two seconds to get the mail or water a plant and before you even realize it, your dog has slipped out and is running loose. In seconds, your dog can leave the property and in minutes, your dog is officially lost.
Unfortunately, you removed his or her tags thinking the dog was home for the night and not going outside. Now your dog is running loose outdoors with absolutely no means of identification or method for contacting you should he or she be located.
There are options without having to remove the tags. Here are a few ways to mute the noise of dangling, jangling dog ID tags.
Rubber Band / Tape
Take both tags, rubber band or Scotch tape, and use them to connect them together so they aren't jingling but you know they can always be noticed and read should your pup get out of your home. Just be careful you don't have a worn out rubber band that can snap off. And ensure that you have the tags secured in a way that prevents them from rubbing against one another, which could wear away the engraving.
Dog Tag Covers
Do you know what those rubber covers look like for your house-keys? Well some companies have developed a similar rubber cover for dog tags. Slip these on and that will severely mute the jingle-jangle that's driving everyone crazy. If you can't find a dedicated dog tag cover for sale, you may just want to try those key covers. They may be just as effective.
Dog Tag Pouch
Dog tags are connected to the dog collar with a snap, an S-hook, or some other connecting device. But those pet tags just won't stop being so loud. So place the tags in a dog collar tag pouch and connect the pouch directly to the collar. This alternative allows for the tags to be read on the dog should he or she go missing, but they are contained in a pouch where they can be read and replaced.

September 2012 unemployment according to the BLS: 7.8%
Nate Silver comments:
The jobs numbers are certainly not enough to change the basic story of a slow economic recovery, and it will take many years for the economy to get back to full employment.
However, the jobs numbers are one of the more hopeful signs for the economy on balance. An average of 146,000 jobs have been created per month over the past year, or closer to 157,000 with the government's anticipated benchmark revisions accounted for.
Those aren't great numbers by any means, and would translate to an annualized growth rate of 1.4 percent. But over the past 25 years, payroll jobs have grown at an annualized rate of 1.1 percent, or the equivalent of about 125,000 jobs added per month given today's population. By this measure, it's been a fairly average economic year, although certainly not enough to make up for the productivity that was lost from the economy in 2008 and 2009.

4 Steps to Clean Usb C Ports
The constant exposure of USB C ports to air can lead to tiny airborne lint, dust and other debris entering the USB C port, which can cause irreversible damage to your device. It is therefore important to clean the USB C port regularly for your device.
In this article we have outlined 4 steps to help you clean your USB C port quickly. Read on for more information.
USB C ports
For both mobile phones and laptops, you will need to clean the USB-C port using a can of compressed air, plastic dental floss, isopropyl alcohol solution and cotton balls.
4 steps to clean USB C port
1. Switch off the device. Apply a quick jet of compressed air to the port to blow away debris. Make sure to secure the straw-like nozzle to the can so that you can spray the concentrated burst directly into the port. Repeat the previous step several times at different angles until all the debris is removed.
2. Drag the tip of the floss to the edge of the port to remove stubborn particles.
3. Wrap a cotton ball around the end of the floss and wet it with a little isopropyl alcohol. Run the cotton end around the inside of the port until all debris is removed.
4. Allow the port to dry completely (2-3 minutes) before inserting anything.
Tip: In the absence of compressed air, you can simply take a piece of disposable plastic dental floss and drag the tip of a toothpick along the edge of the port to pull debris and dust out of the USB-C port. If you find a sticky gunk, use a cotton ball dipped in a small amount of isopropyl alcohol to clean it.
You should be careful when cleaning the USB-C port. Do not insert metal objects such as blades or safety pins as this may short-circuit your device.

If you're beginning your first online store, it is important to select the eCommerce platform which makes setting up simple – and as well, it's simple to scale. Each of BigCommerce as well as Shopify are powerful eCommerce site builders utilized by thousands of online retailers So choosing between the two could be a challenge.
If you're one of the people who has chosen BigCommerce, you could have some issues in expanding your store or customizing it. This is the reason we can certainly convince you to give Shopify the chance.
Here, we'll look at both platforms in detail , so you can make an informed choice.
Has a high loading speed
It is easier to use
A plethora of SEO-related features to aid you in ranking on Google
Excellent multi-channel selling capabilities
There are a variety of themes not offered elsewhere.
Large community of people to help with your questions.
24/7 dedicated support team
Much simpler to make use of
A good backend with a multitude of possibilities to enhance the functionality
An in-depth analysis and comparison
We will be going to be comparing Shopify and BigCommerce based on five key factors:
User Experience/Design
Easy of Use
The customers of today are selective This is a known fact. If your site isn't able to get their attention within thirty seconds or less, they'll leave their cart and go to the next website accessible.
Shopify:Let's start with Shopify in regards to comparing the style of these two platforms. Shopify offers more than 100 themes to choose from and they all appear cool.
A lot of these designs appear and feel the same as similar Content Management system (CMS) such as WordPress and WordPress, which means that you don't need to learn a lot in building a beautiful site using Shopify.
The themes, typically designed by third-party designers, also have a pleasant appearance and feel. They generally cost between $100 to $200 for installation.
BigCommerce The BigCommerce website also offers an array of top designs when it comes to creating your online store and some of them reaching as high as $300.
However, Shopify has a slight advantage over BigCommerce due to the fact that the majority of BigCommerce's themes are different color combinations of themes that are already in use and the actual numbers of "free original BigCommerce themes" is less than 10.
Each of BigCommerce and Shopify employ drag or drop' editors that are similar in their quality, however Shopify offers a slight advantage in that it allows you to make use of a variety of blocks of content.
When it comes to UX or design Shopify is able to give a small advantage over BigCommerce.
When your system is simple for users to navigate, it will save both time and effort and today's entrepreneurs want the most simple solution to use. This is why Shopify has a huge advantage over BigCommerce.
Shopifyis hands down the most user-friendly tool of the two in terms of how simple it is to add small details like an item on your eCommerce site. Shopify has a superior in-boarding process, as well as a more intuitive editor.
Shopify has a thorough step-by-step instructional wizard to help you set up your store online with ease.
BigCommerceon contrary, it is an web-based website builder, as the terms are somewhat technical. It's important to spend some time adjusting to the platform and becoming familiar with the specifics of the website in order to carry out an essential task, for instance adding the latest item or product.
If you're not willing to spend a lot of time building a platform that can build only one eCommerce site If so, Shopify is the best choice.
Pricing is an important factor when it comes to a eCommerce store owner's decision to select the best platform, particularly in cases where resources are not plentiful.
Shopify offers various pricing models:
Lite: $9/month
Basic: $29/month
Shopify: $79/month
Advanced Shopify Monthly cost: $299
Shopify plus: Based on the requirements
BigCommerce offers plans for the following:
Standard BigCommerce: $29.95/ month
"BigCommerce Plus: $79.95 / month
The BigCommerce Pro plan: $299.95/month
BigCommerce Enterprise Based on the requirements
In essence, if you're only starting out, Shopify gives you more opportunities to grow. It is possible to begin slowly and then gradually increase your investment to a larger plan as your business expands.
If you operate an online shop Data security is of the utmost importance for you. It could be in the form of customers' financial details as well as data related with your financial transaction and ensuring the credibility of your site as a secure place to conduct business.
As you can see the importance of data security is crucial, and both platforms have taken security very seriously. Shopify'sstores are PCI-compliant in default, meaning that your personal data as well as the information of your business is safe. When you add an individual domain Shopify will further secure your website with an SSL certificate.
Being a more dominant player in the marketplace, BigCommerce provides security that is more sophisticated than Shopify. File intrusion scanners as well as intrusion detection software firewalls for perimeter and server-specific security and servers that are protected to PCI DSS level 1.
The two platforms are equally capable.
Shopify has more than 4000 apps and is the largest app store on the market. It lets you include new features to your storefront and provide a personalized shopping experiences for your customers with the simple plug and play.
In addition, Shopify also offers upgrading to Shopify Plus that grants access to more sophisticated features, and lets you explore the possibilities of headless commerce.
On the other side, BigCommerce users benefit from more than 900 apps across various categories like Checkout as well as Payment and Security Accounting, and more. The company also offers the plug-and-play feature however any modification may require a certain amount of programming.
You now have two excellent platforms that you can use to create your online store. But you are stuck about which one to pick? It is all dependent upon the scale of your team as well as the way you want to grow an online shop.
If you're a leader of an in-house team of just a few people and creating your first online shop, we'd strongly suggest Shopify. If you want to run your small online store on your own and not have a team, BigCommerce will bind you by imposing technical terms, and features you'll find difficult to manage.
Instead, select Shopify because of its ease of use and the fact that it has more options for customization. Additionally when you use Shopify you gain access to a network of online retailers who are willing to collaborate with each other and a vast list of Shopify developers and designers and app partners who will assist you in your success.
The process of moving between BigCommerce into Shopify will require the transfer of the entire content of the website as well as it will also transfer the domain's name. Alongside this it is also necessary to modify your SEO settings and website to ensure the Google Search Rankings intact.
With this information Let's get right into how we can migrate.
Step 1: Sign up to be a member of Shopify
Explore the capabilities of Shopify Explore the features of Shopify, take a look at what it can provide, and ensure that this is the right platform that you'd like to build your eCommerce store on.
After you have signed up when you sign up, the platform will ask your purpose for making use of the service, as well as your industry and email address. Enter these details and voila you're ready for the next phase.
Step 2. Export your product's information from BigCommerce
After you have signed up with Shopify After signing up for Shopify, you are able to export customer, product, and order information from BigCommerce. All of your BigCommerce information is converted to the format of CSV files. CSV file that you can transfer your data to Shopify.
Step 3: Import your information into Shopify.
When you've had the CSV files that you exported from your BigCommerce database then you can import these to import them into Shopify by following a few easy steps. When importing products, you must include the exported files in either the Bulk Edit or default templates. Bulk Edit templates in order for the information to be properly imported.
If you are unable to locate your platform within the Store Importer,scroll down to the end of the page and click Choose a different platform.
Step 4: Review and revise your data imports
If the import of data was successful the customer, order , and the product's information are available in your Shopify administrator. If the import failed then you can import the data again manually.
After you've set everything up with your information, make sure to test your storefront prior to going live.
Parting words
Making the online shop for your company isn't a difficult job, and you should not be frightened of these platforms when you're starting your first time.
We hope that this blog offered a quick overview on the way these platforms function.

The snow is falling too fast to keep up with the photos. These are from a few days ago, and it has been snowing constantly until yesterday. Two mornings ago I was on yukifumi toban duty so had to get up at 5:30 AM to shovel the community shared spaces in the hamlet – this despite it being Mona's day off from school, which should mean I get to sleep in until at least 7:30. I thought I could get home and go back to bed for an hour or so, but by the time I got in Mona was already awake.
I know that there are two or three people worrying if we have/will have any snow come Jan 3. Please enjoy these photos and know that it will probably snow several more times before then. (It is supposed to snow more tonight)
There will be plenty of snow for snow-shoeing, sledding, skiing, and building the world-record biggest-snow-man-in the-world-ever-built (in Sakae Village). I can't wait.
The photo below is from a week or more ago, so don't count on the snow being that shallow. Its well over doubled since then. The second photo is of our rice polishing vending machine.

This I believe
A well-known credit card company advertises that we should not leave home without the security of their card. That may be well and good, but I know of something much more crucial and of eternal consequence. God forbid that we should come to the end of life without the security of a personal relationship with our blessed Savior, Jesus Christ.
Look at what Simon Peter says in Acts 4:12, "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." We do not have an optional way, truth, or life, for our Lord God Christ says in John 14:6: "Jesus saith unto them, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.'"
The intrepid little band of Christians in the first century stood before the Athenian group of philosophers who were stoic, epicurean, and members of the Supreme Court in the very heart of the intellectual center of the world. The advancement that the Greeks made in every area of life was unsurpassed – in art, science, and in literature.
The preaching of the gospel of Christ is to be just like that. There is no salvation in Athenian philosophy or Greek literature. There is no salvation in religion, whatever the name of the god. There is only one way to be saved: through a relationship with Jesus Christ the Lord. This band of early Christians confronted the world with one message.
Look at the modern church as it confronts this twenty-first century generation in which we live. The message of the modern church is so diluted with rationalism and universalism that at times it is hardly recognizable. Eaten through like a honeycomb, compromise has destroyed the thrust and the march of the modern Christian today. We face a world where dogma is decried, where conviction is discredited, and where belief is discarded. We are not to be sure about anything. The man who has a decided and firm belief is looked upon as an intellectual fossil. The man who believes that one religion is as good as another is exalted.
That is unthinkable when the whole gospel message is this: a man is lost without Christ. No matter how you say it – philosophically, sociologically, psychologically – if Acts 4:12 and John 14:6 are true, then the world is lost without Jesus. Liberalism, modernism, rationalism, and broad-mindedness devastate the preaching of the gospel itself, and theology turns to dust and ashes.
Truth is so narrow and so demanding! It is vital that we know its factuality and its reality. If truth in mathematics, in science, in history and in geography is always narrow, do not persuade yourself that truth becomes any other thing when it pertains to God, eternity, heaven, hell, and our salvation. It is the same.
Krishna, Mohammed, Shintu, Gautama, philosophy, and pseudo-science cannot save. Churchianity cannot save. The Bible plainly says, "He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him" (John 3:36).
In the Lord Jesus Christ we come to know God. In him our sins are forgiven, in him we have the Holy Spirit of heaven, and in him we have the assurance of the world that is to come. But outside the Lord, we are lost in conjectural speculation. We are lost in the darkness of this world.
Invincible conviction was the message of the church in its first Christian century. and has been the true message of the minister of God ever since. If we are true to the revelation of God, it is our message today.
There is no other way to be saved. I am either saved in Christ or I am lost in perdition. I have found new life in him, or I struggle against the darkness of this world. It is that simple, it is that plain, it is that true.
This I believe!

Listen: Kylie Flament talks sustainability with Ally Barnes
In the lead up to Christmas or in Black Friday sales, even the best-intentioned of us can get swept up in buying things we don't need.
Sometimes, it's hard to resist the temptation. But one not-for-profit doing its bit for minimalism and sustainability is Green Connect.
General manager Kylie Flament shared some simple ideas for living more sustainably.
"Ask yourself… where does this come from, and where will it go when you've finished? And that includes the packaging."
Along with composting our kitchen scraps, Kylie suggested we take soft plastics back to the local supermarket and give them to Redcycle.
And when it comes to Christmas gifts, Kylie said we should consider what we spend money on.
"Any more than three gifts and my kids forget what they got," Kylie said.
"Consider buying something from an op shop… There are amazing finds and you're helping the environment. Or give experiences instead."
Listen to the full conversation with Kylie Flament in the player above.

PAPEETE, SOUTH PACIFIC – German round the world yachtsman Stefan Ramin, 40, departed on a hike with a local guide, after docking his yacht at the Island of Papeete with his girlfriend Heike Dorsch, 37.
Stefan's guide, known as Henri Haiti, returned alone, telling Heike her boyfriend had been in an accident to lure her into the jungle and allegedly tried to rape her.
After an extensive police search, human remains thought to be Stefan's were found at a camp fire. This has led to widespread tabloid 'cannibalism' reports suggesting Henri Haiti chopped up Stefan, cooked and ate him. Police since dismissed claims Stefan was eaten by cannibals
The remains have been sent to Paris, as the Islands are part of the French oversees territory.
Police said "amongst the ashes were some human remains and a smell of burned meat, torn clothing was scattered, it will take several weeks before the DNA tests are conclusive."
MICHIGAN, US – If you had the choice, would you live with your sister, or sleep rough? I suppose if your sister is Madonna the notoriously difficult lady with dubious talent according to critics, then sleeping under a bridge may not be that bad.
Anthony Ciccone, 55, the elder brother of the multimillionaire Madonna, lost his job working on the father's vineyard more than a year ago, since then has been living under a bridge in Traverse City (Michigan).
TAINAN, TAIWAN – Thirty-year-old Pan (the name the police have given) has taken revenge on her husband for having an affair with another woman.
After her 29-year-old husband fell into a drug induced coma, Pan cut his penis off with a pair of scissors, then threw what she was holding in the local river.
Pan, from Vietnam, has been charged with assault, "she managed to remove half her Taiwanese husband's penis" said the police.
"Pan was not sorry for what she did, we searched the river, but could not find the piece she had removed. She could get a 12 year sentence" the policeman continued.
As for her husband, he will have to live with his shortcomings.
BARBACOAS, COLOMBIA – The ladies of Barbacoas have ended a three and a half month sex strike. The women had been complaining for ages about the bad condition of the roads, and that their menfolk had not been doing enough to get the problem solved. Hence no love making!
But it did the trick, now new tarmac has been laid, and the women have returned to their 'duties'. One of the women said "our strike was successful, first the road got laid, then us".
MUMBAI, INDIA – The first ATM to dispense diamonds, gold, and silver coins has been opened in Phoenix Mills a shopping mall in central Mumbai. Sanjeev Agarwal CEO of the Gitanjali group said "we had a substantial number of customers on the first day, we are now planning to open another 75 ATMS in other shopping malls."
The machine offers a range of 36 products, from 10 gram coins to diamond studded pendants. Sanjeev continued "we are tapping into the Indian people's love for jewels and precious metals."

More Zodiac Nonsense Crappola I DON'T EVEN CARE
I feel like EIGHT LEVELS OF GARBAGE today because my brain is phenomenal at taking really good news and turning it into sadness.
So here's some more zodiac sillies, 'cause screw it all.
That Aquarius/Sagittarius one at 8:13 really got me laughing, haha. I was not expecting that at all.
Great Freaking Start, Decade.
So 2020 is already a flaming hot pile of GARBAGE and I hate it.
What a shock.
So because I feel like my entire life is not worth living anymore and because I have absolutely no motivation to exist, you're getting a crappy blog post.
(As opposed to…?)
I enjoy "Zodiac signs as…" things, so we're gonna do those today. 'Cause I need something that will make me laugh or I'm going to go find the nearest bridge and go weeeeeeeee.
Well this looks like a super interesting book
The Luminaries: A Novel, by Eleanor Catton
"It is 1866, and Walter Moody has come to make his fortune upon the New Zealand goldfields. On arrival, he stumbles across a tense gathering of twelve local men, who have met in secret to discuss a series of unsolved crimes. A wealthy man has vanished, a whore has tried to end her life, and an enormous fortune has been discovered in the home of a luckless drunk. Moody is soon drawn into the mystery: a network of fates and fortunes that is as complex and exquisitely patterned as the night sky."
The twelve locals, from what I've read, are supposed to be characters representing the twelve signs of the western zodiac. It just sounds like a really interesting story. I think I shall read it (at some point when I make it through my list and run out of Leibniz books).
Facebook Stalking for DATA!
Here's more "Claudia is bored" random thingies.
I have 111 friends on Facebook. I wanted to see the distribution of birthdays across the months (and the zodiac signs, because why not?). So I Facebook stalked everyone and found that 97 of my 111 friends had their birthdays listed (at least month and day). Here's the distribution by month:
I knew I had a lot of February, May, and November, but I didn't know I had so many April and July. Haha, look at August and September. Very interesting, especially in comparison to this.
And here's some zodiac just 'cause:
Claudia: Demolishing Sanity One Blog at a Time
So I was dicking around with drawing ideas this evening and eventually started thinking about something cool to do with the zodiac signs. I was scribbling Aquarius' sign everywhere when I considered how similar it looks to the "approximately equals" sign.
Which led to this:
I wanted to find commonly-used math symbols that best matched the shape of the actual zodiac symbols to give you MATH ZODIAC, but for some of them I had to take a little artistic license. Virgo and Scorpio, I'm looking at you (yes, I just took Virgo's "M" shape and made it an "N," deal with it).
And for those of you screaming, "hey u cant mix mathz with pseudoscience SHAME lolz," I say, "screw you." Plus, now instead of saying "Taurus" when people ask you your sign, now you can reply "Universal Quantifier!" and confuse the hell out of them. Upturned A's are cooler than bulls anyway.
Also, as I was waking up this morning, I swear I was trying to explain Euler's Identity to my cat. Not sure how successful I was considering I was half asleep and she's a cat.
Dicking around with Data
I have my first ounce of legitimate free time today and what do I do with it?
Today's feature: analyzing Nobel laureates by birth dates.
Nobel Prizes are awarded for achievement in six different categories: physics, chemistry, physiology/medicine, literature, peace, and economic sciences. Thus far, there have been 863 prizes awarded to individuals and organizations.
The Nobel website has a bunch of facts on their laureates, including a database where you can search by birthday. So because I'm me and I like to analyze the most pointless stuff possible, here's what today's little flirtation with association entails:
1. Does the birth month of the laureate relate in any way to the category of the award (chem, medicine, etc.)?
2. Does the zodiac sign of the laureate in any way to the category of the award?
Vroom, vroom! Let's do it.
Pre-Analysis: Examining the data
So I should preface this. I decided, upon inspecting the observed contingency table comparing Birth Month and Award Category, to drop the Economics prize altogether. I calculated that the expected cell counts would be very small (because the Economics category is actually the newest Nobel category); such small cell counts would totally throw the chi-square test. So we're stuck with the other five categories for our analysis.
Question 1: Relation of birth month to award category
Treating Birth Month as a categorical variable (with categories January – December) and Award Category as another categorical variable (with categories equal to the six award categories), I performed a chi-square test to examine if there is an association between the two categories.
Results: χ2 (45)= 81.334, p = 0.0007345. This suggests, using a critical value of .05, that there is a significant relationship between birth month and award category.
Examining the contingency table again (which I'd post here but it's being a bitch and won't format correctly, so I'm just going to list what I see):
- Those born in the summer months (June – August) and the months of late fall (October, November) tend to own the Peace and Literature prizes.
- August-, September-, and October-born have most of the Physics prizes.
- The Chemistry prizes seem pretty evenly distributed throughout the months.
- The summer-born seem to have the most awards overall.
Question 2: Relation of zodiac sign to award category.
I suspected this to have a similar p-value, just solely based on the above analysis.
Results: I get a χ2 (54) = 199.8912, p < 0.0001. So this suggests, using our same cutoff value, that there is a significant relationship between zodiac sign and award category. Which makes sense, considering what we just saw with the months. But what's interesting is that just by looking at the size of the chi-square this relationship is actually stronger than the above one.
Looking at the contingency table for this relationship, here are a few of my observations:
- Aries, Gemini, Virgos, and Libras own the Medicine awards.
- Cancers, Sagittarians, and Aquarians own the Physics awards.
- The first five zodiac signs (Aries – Leo) seem to dominate Literature.
- Capricorns are interesting. They have the least amount of awards overall, but 30% of the awards they do have are in Peace. That's far more (percentage-wise) than any other sign. Strange noise.
Assassinations and the Gregorian Calendar
Long-time readers of my blog may remember the post I did a long time ago in which I looked at the zodiac signs of the Presidents of the United States in conjunction with assassinations/assassination attempts.
For whatever reason, that little exploration popped back into my head the other day so I decided to do a more thorough analysis along the same lines.
I went to Wikipedia's list of assassinated people and pulled both assassination dates and birthdates (when available) into a huge-ass dataset.
Questions of interest:
- Is there a time of the year where more assassinations have tended to occur throughout the world?
- Do assassination victims tend to be born at certain times of the year (and in certain zodiac signs, just for fun), taking into account the general overall frequencies of specific birthdays?
- (And I was going to see whether trends in assassinations differ between the continents, but I totally forgot to for this blog, haha. Maybe later.)
So! The data!
As I said, I looked at both the birthdate (when available; n = 612) and the assassination date (just month and day, not year; n = 778) for all of the victims. I didn't think it made any sense doing any sort of paired data analysis (pairing birthdate and death date of each individual) because when you think about it, the two should be independent on one another. My being born on February 2nd shouldn't affect the day and month on which I'd be assassinated, right?
In fact, I figured there'd be no relationship between birth date and death date at all…but I was kind of wrong.
Take a look at this plot (click to enlarge).
This shows all 1,390 points of data—the 612 birthdates and the 778 death dates—and their frequencies by month of the year. Does anybody else find the fact that the two lines are kind of a reflection of each other along a horizontal axis…strange? Especially the fall/winter months (August – March), holy crap.
Keep in mind that this is NOT paired data. Haha, I had to keep telling myself that while looking at this because I kept trying to make logical sense of it. There's no reason (that I can think of anyway) why this pattern should be occurring, and yet there it is. Yes, I know it's not a perfect reflection and I know that the differences in instances given the sample size are pretty small and the differences are exaggerated by the Y-axis range (my fault), but still. You have to admit that's freaky.
Months in which assassinations were most common: June, February, and October.
Months in which most eventual assassination victims were born: March, January, May, and September. Nothing too remarkable; the general frequency of people born in these months versus the number of assassination victims born in these months doesn't seem markedly different to me.
Most commonly assassinated zodiac signs: Virgo, Aries, Aquarius, and Gemini (which, if you believe in the zodiac affecting personality, could just mean that people of these signs are more apt to take positions that leave them more vulnerable to assassination attempts).
Aquarians > Everyone Else (except Voltaire—that sexy Scorpio has it all going on)
Yes, I'm satisfying my ego with help of the Zodiac, despite the fact that it, though surprisingly accurate for me, is probably full of as much trickery as any "organized religion."
Background: I've been surfing around on the internet all day for quotes about Aquarians. Here are the best:
"Aliens do exist. We call them 'Aquarians.'"
"They have a love to which no other sign's love can compare."
"Nobody can survive without water."
"Aquarius: they are nice and fucked in the head."
"Who gives to all a helping hand,
But bows his head to no command–
And higher laws doth understand?
Inventor, genius, superman–
Aquarius." (my personal favorite)
Yeah, there are just a few, but it was fun regardless. And no offense to any other sign; you know I love you all. Yes, even you Sagittarians.
Another point of interest: don't you find the synonyms for the word "trinket" to be the coolest words in the English language? Observe: "bagatelle, bauble, bibelot, curio, doodad, gadget, ornament, sparkler, trifle"…it's all so splendid.
What do you people want, I'm bored and desperate for school to start again!
Edit: Oh, and read Sartre's "The Age of Reason." Good book.
I am aloof, arrogant, and alien! Woo!
I loves me some Zodiac. These are "darkside Zodiacs" I found off of some random website. Aries and Virgo make me laugh especially.
Overwhelming, overbearing, overconfident. You are the zodiac's permanently enraged adolescent. You have what nice social workers call "a problem with authority." No one has ever explained the phrase "consequences of your actions" to you; consequently, your hospital's ER is your second home. Subtle you're not. No one will ever find you sitting quietly in a corner brooding on life's great mysteries—or sitting quietly anywhere. You blunder through the world like Tigger gone rouge. Fortunately, you can be easily distracted by bright light, loud noises, meat, fire, blood, and knives. On good days, this means a neighborhood barbeque. On bad days, World War III.
Obdurate, opinionated, overpowering. What you really like is stuff: in your mouth, in your bank, in your bed, in the bag. You stubbornly refuse to accept the folk wisdom that tells us we can't always get what we want. Possessive seems too weak a word. Although you are not a people person, while you have them under your hand you are possessive, jealous, and resentful of them, too. Your children try to leave home the minute they can crawl. Your little bully brain can't compute more than two variables at once, so when faced with something complex or unusual, you go rigid and do what you have always done, which often means doing nothing at all.
Feckless, reckless, two-faced. There is no cunning so low you can't limbo under it, no scam so complex that you can't get your devious mind around it. You are the con artist, yet in spite of this you are never satisfied with what you get. You charge about in a restless miasma of noise, change, bells and whistles—and the manufacturers of Ritalin rub their hands in glee. You are in a permanent midlife crisis of your own making. Call you irresponsible? If it came to a choice between feeding your children and an invitation to join an exclusive high-stakes poker game—no contest. You might even sell the kids.
Graceless, gloomy, grudge-encrusted. You distrust life and have no faith in the future. To build immunity against fate's random cruelty, you look for homeopathic doses of gloom wherever you are. You remember everything nasty anybody's ever said about you but you never, ever give away your own emotional secrets. People think this is because you are shy and diffident (you work hard to promote that illusion) but actually, it's because you are afraid that people might use them against you. You may forgive, but you never forget. If you ever feel in danger of enjoying yourself, you activate your powerful fret drive so that you can worry ceaselessly about stuff you can do nothing about.
Bossy, boastful, bombastic. You never really got beyond what child psychologists call the "terrible twos." You absolutely have to be adored—by everybody—at all times. This lust for adoration is often your downfall because you are very easily flattered and you believe every word. You expect the world to revolve around you. When it doesn't, you plunge into grand imperial sulk mode until someone comes along to fix it. And you are never, ever wrong. Even when you are wrong, you have people whose job it is to redefine wrong or recalibrate the world so that you are right, looked at from a certain angle.
Peevish, pedantic, perfectionist. When you are hot on the anti-hypocrisy crusade, the first casualties are diplomacy, tact, and basic manners. If asked a simple question that anticipates a simple answer (e.g. "does my butt look big in this?"), not only do you reply, "Well, sure it does, lardass," but you kindly go on to give your estimate of exactly how much bigger than the norm it looks, in both standard and metric measurements. Because of this, few people ask your advice about anything. That doesn't stop you from giving it. You are never wrong, but you secretly fear the possibility that you might be, but you'd kill rather than admit it.
Shallow, superficial, shrewd. You may smile for the cameras, but underneath you are an antsy malcontent, restlessly searching for satiation. Whenever you get what you want, you don't want it. As you can't fill the void with stuff, you turn to other people. You simply can't help using them. You're not the sweet, helpless little cupcake you want us to think you are, are you? Your unique selling point is your famous inability to make a decision. You know that when you dither deliciously with admirers over two gorgeous gifts, chances are that if you dither long enough, you'll get both
Intense, ruthless, domineering. Your favorite sport is competition and you have to have the last spiteful word or your day is just ruined. You have never been known to apologize for anything, since it would make you look weak; nor do you grant second chances. If people let you down, you shun them. You are up there with the Amish on shunning. If it wasn't for your self-destructive streak and obsession with sex, the rest of us would be in trouble, for you will stop at nothing to get what you want, even if it means a global meltdown. Fortunately, you are often so fixed on taking things to the edge that you fall off, and you can always be distracted by lust.
Brash, crass, tactless. You are the zodiac's mindless hooligan. You may be loudmouthed and impetuous, but you aren't stupid, and you know that you should at least look a bit remorseful when caught with the smoking gun. That does not mean you didn't do it, or that you won't do it again, because you love the rush of sheer naughtiness. No one keeps you on a tight rein, or any rein at all. You crash your way through any barriers, even those set up for your safety. And tact? Your best friend loses a leg in a terrible accident. You immediately ask if you can have their $90 shoes.
Petty, parsimonious, pessimistic. You may say that you are insecure inside (so who isn't?) but it doesn't help that you come on so ultra-respectable and old-at-heart on the outside. You'd do absolutely anything to preserve your social status. You'd also prefer to keep your ruthless, pathological ambition under wraps, in case anyone notices what you are doing and pulls away the ladder. The real reason for all your penny-pinching and wet-blanketing is to conserve your resources and energy for what you actually want to do—and the general folk opinion is that you are on cups-of-sugar-borrowing terms with Beelzebub.
Aloof, arrogant, alien. You are a chilly-hearted, disengaged observer of the human condition who has never knowingly reacted spontaneously to any experience. Whatever you're doing, the inner you is busy making observations and taking notes. Your diaries are written to give you something sensational to read on the return trip to Betelgeuse. You signal your contrariness by dressing in eccentric garments to ensure that we all recognize your fascinating otherness. You get out of all the dull stuff like social engagements and having a job by coming up with a work of unsurpassingly staggering genius every now and again. And that's easy.
Confused, chaotic, contradictory. Your natural habitat is murky emotional depths, where you drift about vaguely, moaning about the intolerable pressure the world puts you under. You have the willpower of a marshmallow. Anyone who has to deal with you should always carry a tape recorder—anything agreed upon two minutes ago you will deny utterly two minutes later. What you want now is never what you will want in one minute. You have instantaneous mood changes; you set out full of optimism and jollity, but by the time you get to the end, you are one with Eeyore and everybody else has lost the will to live.
From "Aquarius" to "Virgo," no one is safe!
I'm surprised I haven't done this yet:
MY RANKING OF THE ZODIAC!! I hope I don't insult anyone…
1. Aquarius—Mozart. Chekov. Lincoln. Darwin. What do all these kick-ass dudes have in common? THEY'RE AQUARIANS! Aquarians seemed to be destined either for greatness (Mozart) or great disaster (Dan Quayle). Either way, you've got an interesting character! Win!
2. Scorpio—with the nickname of, "the sex sign", how could I NOT put Scorpio second on the list? Favorite activities include having sex, thinking about sex, and thinking about sex with someone other than the person with whom they are currently having sex. Favorite numbers include 69 and 96. Favorite letters are X, X, and X. I love these guys.
3. Leo—ah, yes…the "but enough about me, what do you think about me?" people. The narcissists. How could one not love a narcissist (especially the narcissist himself)? They like the mirror rooms at the fair. They like to masturbate.
I think I've run this one into the ground.
4. Capricorn—what the hell is a "sea goat?" It's like a Pisces mated with a Sagittarius or something. Hmm…a fish getting it on with a centaur…
Okay, that's done with. Except for my dad, all the Capricorn's I've met (all three of them!) have been pretty cool.
5. Taurus—these people seem to cling to me, for some reason. What's up with that? Why do I get along with Taureans so well? Maybe it's because they're so nice—or maybe because, deep down, they know that I'm just full of bull.
NOTE: do not attempt to run down the streets of Spain while being chased by these guys. You'll get messed up.
6. Libra—haha, Librans. There are the good ones—my cat—and the annoying ones—Aneel's brother. Some are vindictive and needy in a good way, others are vindictive and needy in the typical way the words "vindictive" and "needy" are perceived. Haha, Librans. Love 'em.
7. Virgo—The obsessive-compulsive, nit-picky, hypochondriac of the zodiac group. Either you love 'em or you hate 'em. Unless you are one, and in that case, you're probably too busy making sure the margins of this blog are in the correct format to actually read what I wrote.
8. Pisces—I honestly don't have anything against Pisces…I just can never spell "Pisces" correctly.
9. Aries—Mr. Hothead. Mr. A.D.D. These guys are great. Candida's an Aries, which explains away a freaking lot of her screeching. If all Aries are like Candida, then the whole world will go completely deaf in approximately 7 years.
10. Gemini—I've only met one Gemini, so I don't really have much to base my argument off of. Therefore, Gemini goes right under the last sign (of which I've met more than two people)
11. Cancer—Kinda in the same situation as Gemini, only worse—I've never met a Cancer (well, of course I have, but not for a long enough period to get to know them). So here they sit—in 11th place, just because I've never made contact with one.
12. Sagittarius—I've met a Sagittarius. I've met many of them. I have yet to figure one of these people out. Seriously. No consistent traits whatsoever. People of every other sign share at least one similar trait—at least, they do in my eyes. But not the little Sagittarians. Are they fickle? Are the neat-freaks? Are they psychopaths? Who knows? I certainly don't.

One of these is User-Acceptance Testing (UAT) to make sure that the developed product not only functions correctly but also serves its intended purpose.
Don't confuse this with system testing, which verifies that the software meets the specifications and functionality laid out for the build, though. UAT ensures that the client or end-user receives the product in the manner intended.
What is UAT?
To give a more comprehensive definition, consider UAT as the final stage of testing in the software development life cycle. It is sometimes referred to as end-user or beta testing and takes place after integration, end to end, and any other testing required for the product in question.
During the process, testers put the product through the final stages of approval before releasing it into the public realm or handing it over to the client. This is to make sure that the software meets the business needs and user requirements that were set out for it.
Therefore, the end-user, in this case, can either refer to an actual consumer, or the client who is going to be using the product. In other words, depending on who the end-user is, the outcome could be for the B2C or B2B market.
Why User Acceptance Testing Is Important
User Acceptance Testing is critical to the successful full release of a product. It not only checks that a product functions correctly from a technical perspective, but that can be used in the way that it was intended. Undergoing this type of testing ensures that the software serves the purpose set out in the contract between developer and client.
UAT isn't just about doing the bare minimum to guarantee sign off and payment from a client, though. It is also to make sure that the product adds value in the marketplace, and can be adequately maintained in the future for maximum benefit.
Performing testing should answer the following questions about the product in question:
· Does the software function as expected?
· Does it serves the end-users needs?
· Was it difficult to use in any way, and does it function suitably for its intended workflow and users?
Overall, this type of testing is to finalize all other software testing carried out. It is also to tie up any loose ends in the software development life cycle before wrapping up the project.
How to Do It
Effective testing requires a focused team. A UAT Manager is the brains behind the strategy, do the research, planning, and outlines the steps the team should follow. The Project Manager signs off on the test strategy and plan. Finally, there is the testing team that puts the software through its paces.
Each testing scenario will require the team to adapt to specific client needs. However, as a general overview, the steps typically follow this formula:
1. Planning
The first and most crucial step for the team is to define the processes and outline all the necessary outcomes. They should also set up a schedule so that the testing follows a specified timeframe, which is crucial for on-time delivery to a client. After that, responsibilities should be assigned to the relevant members to ensure that the process flows smoothly.
Furthermore, the manager needs to layout workflow processes, as well as set guidelines on how to document workflow. Documenting it provides a record of work done so developers can pinpoint error points and quickly fix bugs and other problems should they arise.
2. Execution
During the execution stage of User Acceptance Testing, the team physically tests the product. The testing is either done online or face to face and with clients or actual B2C end users.
The insights and feedback received during this phase are essential. Often there are factors that the developers had not considered, and these need to be accounted for when iterating the product and making sure it is 100% ready for full release.
3. Documentation
As mentioned above, efficient documentation needs to happen every step of the process. The documentation covers all the necessary bases and ensures that all mistakes and bugs are fixed before the final release.
Also, all user insights need to be tracked to help developers in implementing the necessary changes to ensure that the product is as functional and usable as possible. Additionally, documents should demonstrate that the software meets all legal and contractual requirements.
4. Evaluation
After testing and documenting all of this activity, an assessment needs to be made. This should cover everything that has been tested and documented thus far. After performing an evaluation, the team can decide what needs to be fixed and what other measures to apply to make sure the product meets all expectations and requirements.
This can even include taking into account the emotional responses of users when they engage with the product. This is a very useful litmus test to gauge how easy the product is to use, and whether it serves its intended purpose.
5. Reporting
Reporting is an essential component of the process. The account is maintained to keep a record of the improvements and fixes of a particular iteration of the product.
Furthermore, it is also a valuable resource to refer to when developing other products in the future.
From a contractual perspective, efficient reporting is also essential for making sure that the developers have upheld their side of the agreement. In the event of any discrepancies with the product after full release, these documents provide evidence of contract fulfillment.
As discussed in this article, User Acceptance Testing (UAT) is the final, and arguably the most crucial stage of software testing. This is because releasing an effective software product is not just about ticking all the boxes when it comes to client sign off. It is also making sure that the product adds value to the end-user.

Ghanaian hiplife musician Article Wan has blasted musician Patapaa for claiming he revived his music career.
Patapaa, in an interview with Abeiku Santana on Okay FM's 'Drive Time' show, emphasized that his feature on Article Wan's song 'That Thing' saved Article Wan from being lost in the music industry.
But in a quick reply on 'Best Entertainment' on Okay FM, Article Wan labelled Patapaa's claim as bogus and baseless, further stressing that Patapaa doesn't even make sense in his own songs, let alone revive his (Article Wan) music career.

Tom Hiddleston shows his hidden talent with his impression of Owen Wilson, which is pure gold. We all know, Loki aka Tom Hiddleston as the god of mischief but seems like he is even a master of imitations. The interview in which Tom imitated Wilson is from Australian film festival, Popcorn Taxi. During a live interview with Owen Wilson, Jimmy Kimmel, the show's host showed Wilson how Hiddleston impersonated him as Loki. Owen is well-pleased and is seen letting out a chuckle here and there saying it's pretty good.
Tom Hiddleston's hidden talent was not really hidden after all
Loki's notorious German speech in The Avengers surely hits differently when delivered in Wilson's distinct vocal stylings. Tom's talent of imitating is not hidden after all as he is well known for his celebrity impersonations during events and interviews. And they are undeniably hilarious. One of the many floating around the internet is his Owen Wilson impression from the Popcorn Taxi festival in Australia.
Tom Hiddleston, though loved by fans as Loki, his impressions of other actors is the real deal. He imitated the Cookie Monster, Al Pacino, fellow MCU co-stars Chris Hemsworth and Chris Evans, and many other Hollywood celebs which garnered immense attention and love from fans and his co-stars time and again.
How did Owen Wilson react ?
"Is not this simpler? Is this not your natural state? It's the unspoken truth of humanity that you crave subjugation," Hiddleston quoted, doing an impression of Owen as Loki. "For god's sake, kneel. I'm burdened with glorious purpose, that's all." As hilarious as it was, one of the Twitter users pointed out that he quite missed the classic Wilson "wow". Although when Wilson was shown the clip of Tom being a little mischievous, he looked amused. He even stated that Tom's choice of words was pretty good.
he didn't say "wow" ???? owen wilson's signature word pic.twitter.com/Cv6oHWmyRW
— natalie ⎊ (@natashaslanding) June 9, 2021
Besides appreciating Hiddleston for imitating him, Owen Wilson also spoke about his arrival as Agent Mobius in the Loki series. He explained the difficulty he faced as a new comer as he had to catch up on a lot of MCU history. Wilson admits to Kimmel that he wasn't entirely acquainted with the inner working of the franchise and its God of Mischief.
MCU enthusiasts are eagerly waiting for a possibility of an impression of 'Owen Wilson as Loki' this time, since the two are currently working together on the Disney+ series. However Owen and Tom previously appeared together in the movie Midnight in Paris (2011).
Another Twitter user posted a picture of Loki and Mobius watching Tom Hiddleston enact the Owen Wilson impression. It indeed looks like a dream come true for ardent fans of Loki after all.
Well we all know Loki is a master trickster but watching Tom Hiddleston be the best at imitating his co-star Owen Wilson is indeed a treat.

Osteoporosis and celiac disease (CD) are common diseases. Some 10 million people in the United States (80% women) have osteoporosis, and another estimated 18 million have osteopenia and are at risk for osteoporosis.1 Fourteen percent of 50-year-old white women with osteoporosis will develop a fracture over their lifetime.1 Even patients with osteopenia, ie, bone mineral density (BMD) T score between −1.0 and −2.5, are at increased risk for fracture.2 These fractures are associated with pain, disability, and up to 30% mortality at 1 year in addition to a monetary cost of an estimated $10 billion to $15 billion yearly.3

I bought this for my daughter instead of a traditional crib set and gave it to her when she was a year old. She is actually on the autism spectrum and has decided that this is the only blanket she will sleep with, she is in love with this blanket and carries it around the house with her. The quality is amazing and the design is beautiful. It has started some light piling but that is because it is extremely well loved in our house and we have had it now for 3 and a half years. Besides the very light piling it has held up in such great shape. I can't wait to buy one for my son when he is old enough for a quilt! Thank you so much for making such a wonderful product. Highly recommend, it is the perfect size for a toddler bed.

[rewritten 2008-08-05]
I had written up a few seminars, but considering I'd partied until the wee hours, it wasn't realistic in any way or form...
There were still some important things:
- 14:00 - xx:xx. Poly picknick. I'm not missing this for the world, colds stay away :-)! There are a few people who I know I'll get to connect with there and then if at no other time. This will be held outside the Pride Park itself, so people who aren't interested in the rest of Pride can still join in... not that Pride Park itself lends itself for picknicks anyway ;-).
- 17:00 - 19:00, 20:30 - 22:30. Schlager evening. This is a very popular event in the gay community in Stockholm (or Sweden?). I expect I'll reconnect with a number of gay friends I haven't mentioned yet. An evening of fun!
That's it? That's it!
Oh, there was a last minute proposal to have a poly grilling party starting somewhere around 19... I never went to that.
Actually, this day ended up being even simpler than the wednesday one... Imagine that!
Aaaaanyway... This day started late, as usual. Charlie and I
went to the picknick, where we first found smilla together with two
of her loves. Soon enough, a lot of the usual crowd (Karin,
Kristine, Fabian, Karin, ...) as well as a number of people I'd
never met before (I finally got to meet two more of Charlie's
sweeties, Anders and Valentin, who I had heard a bit about for a
while) joined in and we simply enjoyed time together.
At some point, smilla summoned the courage to come around a lot of people and approach me with the words "I want to talk with him!", and a nice although short talk we had.
I left a little before 17:00 to join Charlie for the Schlager evening (Charlie had left an hour earlier to be the host of the bi tent for an hour).
The Schlager evening was lots of fun, dancing and singing along as much as was possible in the crowd. I didn't reconnect with those other friends, oh well.
[there will be more added when I remember more]

tech2 News StaffDec 28, 2018 12:32:02 IST
India will announce a new draft policy for e-commerce in a few weeks, a day after the country tweaked foreign investment rules for the burgeoning sector.
The new e-commerce policy could entail provisions for a regulator in the sector dominated by Amazon and homegrown Flipkart, which was bought over by retail giant Walmart for $16 billion earlier this year.
India on 26 December introduced changes to foreign direct investment rules, banning e-commerce players from selling products from entities in which they have an equity interest, a move the source said was aimed at preventing anti-competitive practices. The source declined to be named as the matter was not public.
The government of India also said that these companies will be prevented from entering into exclusive agreements with sellers — "An entity having equity participation by e-commerce marketplace entity or its group companies, or having control on its inventory by e-commerce marketplace entity or its group companies, will not be permitted to sell its products on the platform run by such marketplace entity," the commerce ministry said. The new rules will be applicable from 1 February.
The new regulations follow complaints from Indian retailers and traders, who say the giant e-commerce companies are using their control over inventory from their affiliates, and through exclusive sales agreements, to create an unfair marketplace that allows them to sell some products at very low prices.
The Confederation of All India Traders in a statement said that if the order is implemented in full then malpractices, predatory pricing policies and deep discounting by e-commerce players will no longer occur.

ਜੋ ਪ੍ਰਾਨੀ ਮਮਤਾ ਤਜੈ ਲੋਭ ਮੋਹ ਅਹੰਕਾਰ ॥
ਕਹੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਆਪਨ ਤਰੈ ਅਉਰਨ ਲੇਤ ਉਧਾਰ ॥੨੨॥
Jo Praani Mamtaa Tajai Lobh Moh Ahamkaar |
Kaho Naanak Aapan Tarai Auran Let Udhaar | 22 |
The person who liberates himself from the attachment-ego,
And lets the greed, world-attraction and body-ego forgo.
Says Naanak, he will fortunately cross the emotion-sea,
And will help others to arrive at bliss-shore and be free.
Guru Ji and all true gurus tell us to always remember God so we can live our life at fullest without any regrets and fears in our mind. We can help others to see path of bliss and devotion, without force and compelling them to do what we do but show them the path. If they are willing to take that path, bless them to achieve their goal of self-discovery through love and devotion.
Attachment-ego, because attachment exists due to the sense ego, I-ness. Crossing the emotion-sea means to be able understand our emotions, and not letting them control us. And being conscious of our emotions certainly does not mean to be without feelings or to be indifferent, but rather use them diligently and consciously. Body-ego, because when we speak of I, most of the time, we think of our self as body and mind, and we become forgetful of God, and that we are a soul. That is why we gain something either fame or riches we feel a sense of superiority and boost over it – "You know I did it". In doing so, we do not realize that this body and mind are given by God, who dwells in every heart. According to this verse, we should not be egoistic and vainly proud. Guru Ji advices us to keep our mind in balance, for only a balanced (compassionate, empathetic) mind can truly be content, can truly enjoy that moment in which he/she is living, feel the grief of others and help others.
Now, the five ropes that tie the legs and the arms of our mind are: Mamta, Ahamkaar, Lobh, Moh. Attachment-ego (Mamta) creates an imbalance, for we want to be at the centre of everything; body-ego (Ahamkaar) creates a disturbance in our mind and peace, for we want everything for our self to satisfy our ego; greed (Lobh) is running to after everything outside and get it more and more, therefore greed can cause panics in our heart if we do not get that object; and world-attraction (Moh) devours our peace, for we do not want to lose what we got, even at the moment of our death we cannot leave this. But all the attempts become vain for the lord of death will not listen to us at that moment.
Ego is Latin (Ancient Roman Language) for I.
