IMHO It's not that hard. (103 comments)
Our hardware (also software heavy) start up was recently acquired for an exponent of our annual gross revenue. The company started ~18 months ago, and we went from idea to Indiegogo to shipping in 12. ALL MADE IN NORTH AMERICA (sure some components were sourced from Asia but design and assembly all in NA). I've done harder things in my life.
Re:Pieces of impossible (172 comments)
This is an excellent response. OP please put great weight on what ddt says. As a professional I can't tell you how many times I've been programming w/rt subject matter I love and been amazed at how little effort seemingly impossible projects take to come together. I've also noticed when I'm not thrilled/interested/excited about a project I tend to view tasks as much more difficult than they end up being.

How is someone talking endlessly on their cell any different from the two people directly behind me chatting for hours? Let's just pass a law that everyone must not generate more than 20db for the entire flight (sarcasm).

Ugh it hasn't been "several" weeks since CES closed. My company was there so I know it ended Jan 10. Let's do some grade 1 math: Jan 21 (when this post was written) - Jan 10 = 11. Several is definitely plural, so you'd need at least 14 days. 14 > 11.

Forget CPM - It's Time For Time To Be The New Metric
Sean Hargrave
, July 31, 2014, 7:40 AM
Comment (13)
There's something in the air and if you want to know what it is, take a look at Biz Stone and Evan Williams. The Twitter co-founders' Medium site has signed up its first content sponsor, BMW, and the big news is that the car brand is not paying by impressions or click. Instead, the metric is time.
It's been a prediction of mine for quite some time that while cost per click (CPC) will probably have a future in direct-response campaigns, particularly around ecommerce, cost per thousand impressions (CPM) as a metric will likely be replaced a time or audience share metric, or possibly a combination of the two.
Ad men and women cannot complain. As the industry has been mechanised, it has made CPM virtually meaningless. Why count how many times an advert has been served when more than half are unviewable -- although there is a new IAB standard here -- and an estimated half of those which are clicked on are selected not by a keen consumer but rather an ad "bot." The figures aren't exact and they vary from one source to another but the phrase that you waste half your money in advertising has never been truer than online display.
If you can't rely on clicks alone nor impressions, it makes sense that advertisers will seek to look for additional metrics.
This search comes at exactly the same time as video is the hot topic. It's massive because people genuinely like to be entertained in sound and vision, but there is no agreed viewability metric for the medium yet in place. It's being worked on but it's far harder to say when a video is viewable or has been viewed than it is to say at least half a display MPU appeared above the fold for longer than a second.
Video, however, has a metric that broadcasters have come to know and trust. It's not all that precise, but then the problem with mechanised advertising is it's too precise and so open to massive manipulation by "bots."
Broadcasters measure share of a defined audience, and there is a common belief that this will carry on into the online world and could progress from video into other forms of advertising.
Native advertising would be the perfect medium for this, particularly around branding rather than direct response -- let's face it, if you want to sell widgets and widgets alone, you'll probably just grin and bear the faults inherent in CPC because at least they measure clicks rather than sentiment or favourability.
If you're branding, however, time spent by a certain share of a certain audience is probably as good a metric as any. At least it goes beyond showing that the material was available to be viewed and doesn't get too bogged down by whether a human or a "bot" instantly clicked on a link to earn a commission.
Mark these words. CPC will probably be kept alive by direct-response ecommerce operators, but as the Web moves to embrace branding as well as direct response, and as video becomes a key component in that, we will see more moves like BMW's sponsorship of design-led articles, where time and share of audience are the metric.
They are terms that will become a common part of adland's vocabulary, just as they have been in broadcast for quite some time.

I couldn't agree more with Sean. WebSpectator is helping the industry to shift from impressions to time. The best is that we can now measure and buy time. The Cherry on top is that this new currency is MRC Accredited. The new accredited metric is the GTS - Guarantee Time Slot Impression and can be used with any kind of Multimedia element (Eg. video, display ads, text,...).

I agree, in principle, too. The problem is that so long as money is changing hands, in that the advertiser is buying access to the publisher's audience, CPM calculations will be with us. What happens next is that in many cases the buyer never lets go of the CPM finding and becomes so fixated on it that all other considerations are subordinated to it. This is exactly the same problem that plagues many of the traditional media, where a certain kind of buyer takes CPMs, which should be the starting point for evaluating a medium's value, and makes it the end point as well. Fortunately many advertisers get this and support media which offer engaging environments, less ad clutter, superior targeting capabilities, etc. even if their CPMs are higher.

Quite likely the time metric becomes an additional factor in developing CPMs that weight various components such as comp, coverage, time spent. There is no one metric.

with a 1 second viewability standard - are we going charge by 1/1000 of second - so it still backs into a CPM? How are you going to RTB that?

I agree in principle with the time element. However I have run thousands of text link ads and used the month and week method. Basically the old billboard model of pricing. Why this works in online sweepstakes promotions is with over 300,000 members I would sell out the sponsor's inventory. No joke. If the sponsor is giving away a car or a large amount of cash it would not be uncommon to see 25,000 to 50,000 sweepstake click through/entries. The big Fortune advertisers love my rate system. My problem is big advertisers are very slow to understand this. Maybe you can explain why an big agency couldn't make this work when I can?

Ed, just a thought. I assume the article is primarily referring to television CPMs. As you and I know (but a lot of the market has forgotten), TV ratings are an 'average minute audience estimate'. Given that the ratings data is available at the minute level (well it is here in Australia - we post-analyse on minute-by-minute data), CPM can be thought of "Cost Per Thousand People Minutes". Given that most ads fall within that time frame (and the variation within a minute is not that large), then TV basically already is what Sean is proposing, is it not? Basically, I think he is saying he wants duration based audience data ... or have I misinterpreted? Cheers.

John, I assumed that Sean was referring primarily to online metrics, not TV. As for TV, the basic problem , as I have noted many times, is the likelihood that so-called average minute ratings, even when they are isolated only for commercial minutes, do not tell you whether the "viewer" is watching or, if so, for how long this occurred. What you are getting, basically, is a set usage measurement, coupled with the assumption that a person who logged in as "watching" when the set was turned on or a channel was changed is "viewing every second of content that follows----unless a cessation of viewing or absence from the room is reported. Since this almost never happens, even though in real life we do leave the room and/or cease paying attention---especially during commercial breaks---- it's asking too much of the data to apply it in the manner you propose. Just my opinion, of course, but we have to take all average minute ---or second----"viewing" estimates with a large dose of salt.

Thanks Ed. I was in the privileged position around 10 years ago to be able to analyse a week's prime-time TV viewing (on an All People) basis at a minute-by-minute level stacked up against independently verified ad logs. I'm shooting from memory ... but the average ad-break (of around 3-4 minutes) was down around 4-5% from its surrounding minutes. First and last in break suffered the least degradation (around 2-3%) while middle of the break was just under 10% (again I stress that is from memory). The thing that amazed me is that I could see that in the panel of over one thousand people, MANY were logging out when they left the room during the ad-break. By far the most common activity was channel surfing (and I stress that was in the pre-DVR days in a five-channel FTA environment) which produced the oddity that for the 'recipient channel' of the surfing often say its audience increase! Weird eh!

Interesting comments, John, as it confirms what a number of agencies have found when they spent a fair amount of money to explore people-meter data on a "granular" basis, as regards commercial audiences. The idea was to garner insights about how different commercials performed and, of course, issues about ad placement within breaks, ad clutter, etc. They, too, found that the largest 'audience losses" came at the middle of the breaks while the first position and the last spot performed above par, the latter mainly due to incremental or new tune-in. In all cases, however, the absolute levels were tiny----on the order of 2-5 percentage points, typically. Otherwise, the data seemed to show that average second "viewers"----or average commercial segment "viewers" were not particularly discriminating regarding subject matter, creative execution, etc. The reason, in my opinion, was that the data did not reflect either the overt or, the more subtle changes in attentiveness that take place throughout the commercial exposure experience during a break, which, typically may feature 5-8 ads of various lengths, plus promotional messages. With 90-95% of the "audience" assumed by the system to be "watching" this is hardly surprising. The core assumption underlying the system has self-defined program viewers "watching" just about everything that appears on their TV screens, including just about all of the commercials.

Agreed again Ed. But we also have to consider why we have TV ratings ... to sell ads. The broadcaster spends mountains of money to create a programme that attracts (say) 20 million viewers. Given that they are pretty much glued to that content we can pretty safely say that they are 'watching' and 'engaged' (whatever that word has come to mean of late). Yet in 30 seconds we can knock a 10% or a couple of million people off that quantum because of the quality of the ad content. Let's be clear - this is not the broadcasters fault! I was also lucky enough to be involved in early stage neuro-science work on ad-breaks here Downunder. We found some initially surprising things. In a sporting event such as one-day cricket (there are 30-second breaks between overs so a natural for ad-breaks ... or between wickets falling), we found a diminution of positive activity for the ad despite cricket being one of our favourite sports and TV shows. The reason was that the brain was in sensory overdrive due to the contest, that the ad simply didn't measure up. Putting that same ad into a low-rating pretty dreary daytime soap saw the brain light up! It's easy to see why post-event ... but common logic was the inverse.

John, I would disagree that people, once they are defined as program "viewers" are, in effect, engaged. The evidence on this subject, including, dial switching rates, "holding power" studies, viewer attentiveness measures, program content recall studies, etc. shows wide variations in response and involvement based on program content, and demographics. Over and above that, studies of a similar nature, plus a number of observational efforts ( cameras and "spies" ) reveal even greater attrition in audience interest, attentiveness, etc. when commercial breaks appear. Of course, this varies slightly by commercial positioning and there are marked reductions when breaks extend beyond three or four messages. But, the largest variations are due to the subject matter of the commercial, the way the message is executed and how often it has been seen before. The best evidence of this is offered by thousands upon thousands of commercial recall studies. These use all sorts of methodologies and a good deal of cuing to stimulate the viewer's memory. In general, you almost never get recall higher than 60% no matter what the ad is and many spots fall into the 10-20% category. This can't be, if the actual "audience loss"during commercials is only 10%, or thereabouts. I agree that, except for excessively ad cluttered breaks, the fact that many viewers don't pay attention to a given commercial airing is mostly on the advertiser, not the network or station. But that's a fact of life and hardly surprising. Most people watch TV for program content, and tolerate the commercials. Advertisers accept this and wage their promotional campaigns over extended periods, where the cumulative buildup of awareness and buying interest develops over the course of numerous exposures to their ad messages. If it were really true that 90% of the audience watches each time a commercial appears, normative ad recall levels would be far higher than they are; worse----from the medium's ad sales perspective----advertisers could safely reduce their media budgets, since their messages are able to get their points across so easily whenever each spot runs.

Great discussion. Ed, John, all of research online or offline have shortcomings. E.g. TV - did he realy watch that ad, Online - did we realy reach that number of people, or we have reached that number of cookies? And there is many more examples like this. Also advertising is very complex and to many factors influence end result of campaign that is even difficult to discuss about it. But there is one crucial part. Has ad been seen and if yes did he got enough time to transfer his message to user. So time is crucial for message delivery, so it have to be a part of online ad equation. Like TV has a standard of 30'' so will display or any other ad in a future. One of my conviction is that time should be common denominator.

So we're having our new fridge delivered on Monday and have had our old one up on Craigslist for about a week. Not asking much, $350 for a side by side. So someone asked me if it was still available. I said yeah. He writes me back with this:
defiantly ignore
Cash on delivery.
Something sounds hokey here. I don't think I'd want the individual or his "shipper" coming to my house.
Make Beer, Not War.
this person has hit others as well in tulsa. was a couple posts and one thats up now.

The hotel was clean and the beds were comfortable
the receptionist was asleep when we got there and we had to wake him up by calling the hotel from our cell phone. After we were settled we came down for change to buy food he was no where to be found.
No wifi in rooms, zero. It did work in lobby. No hot water, it only got luke warm in the three days there. Batteries dead in remote, room dirty, most plug ins did not work, lamp in corner broke and would fall over when touched, just annoying things....
The location is great - within walking distance to Temple Sq. and Main St., though the environment seemed a bit shady with a couple of homeless ppl just outside the hotel. The staff was very nice and helpful. The breakfast was awesome! Way beyond what I had expected.
Upon registration, the hotel didn't have my booking info from getaroom.com, and it took them quite a while to fetch it. I've heard it's not uncommon with this website, so I suggest to book with other ones.
This hotel was perfect for our 2 night stay! Room was clean, modern, and well maintained, not to mention very spacious. Beds were extremely comfortable!! Service was friendly and helpful and the hotel is very centrally located and easy to find. Free breakfast was a nice perk. Our room was on the 3rd floor, north side, and was nice and quiet. Great value, I would definitely stay here again.
While Wi-fi was free and available in rooms (and lobby), it didn't work very well. Pool/gym area is rather small, however I wasn't expecting one at all so I wasn't disappointed.
Nice floor layout of room. Loved sleeping area being separate from bathroom and sitting/dining area with a door. Good bed sheets/linens. *Entire hotel non-smoking and no pets is excellent, especially since I have allergies.
Bathroom sink did not drain well and could have been a little cleaner. Our room that night was located on the side of the building right next to the freeway. Traffic can be a little noisy.
Overall, the hotel was very nice and clean.
The noise from the freeway and train tracks right next to the hotel made it hard to sleep.
I liked the location and friendly staff
The old rooms and broken heater, loud refrigerator. Not the cleanest bedding.
Breakfast was good in my room was nice with the couch
The front desk staff were not very helpful and didn't seem like they even want to be
The rooms were very clean and I felt at home once I walked in. They had a great selection of breakfast food and I was very pleased with our stay. We will definitely stay there again!
I think it was very well located and hassle free.
It was a little weird that there was no staff around to check you in but the self check-in worked just fine so all in all no problems.
Very friendly and helpful staff. Nice, comfortable rooms. Ample complimentary breakfast.
The daily parking seemed a little steep given both the parking garage and surrounding streets were basically empty.
I didn't like that you had to pay for parking each day and you had to pay for WiFi.
Clean room. Space.
Food situation, not good for delivery. Noisy concert, noisy upstairs (recommending upstairs if you want quiet.
Very comfortable bed and room.
The building we were in did not have an elevator so we had to drag our very heavy bags up the stairs.
The corner king room with the jetted tub was enjoyable. A great place to sleep or relax, there was a desk in the corner next to the three big windows, the view was not much due to which side of the hotel I was on; but I am sure on the other side towards the mountain would be beautiful. Good location near the airport, free shuttle service to the airpory and TRAX if you are without a vehicle.
It was advertised on expedia through kayak as a hotel with a restaraunt and bar, ( my second reason for picking it ), and upon arriving I find that the restaraunt and bar are down for a prolonged period of time due to reconstruction
(Breakfast) food was excellent! Available pool & sauna was great - just disappointed didn't get to use because too tired @ the end of each day.
Was disappointed that for $110/night, at least there should be a complimentary "continental" breakfast!
I've always loved this hotel. Great customer service and The Coffee Shop can't be beat.
The bed was too hard :(
Here's why:
We're not the seller At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time? Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
More questions or if you have a bad price to report to us Please send us an email and someone from our team will get back to you promptly.

King Pin Management LLC nurtures and guides three restaurants and a dozen bowling centers all across Wisconsin, including King Pin Bowl. Their staff consultants and accountants track all these operations, tallying every penny while auditing employee performance. In addition, training instructors travel around to give employees refresher courses on proper workplace conduct, while menu developers help make restaurant offerings more taste bud-friendly. Not even pinsetters and floors escape the staff's attention?technicians comb every bowling lane and machine to root out faulty wiring and make sure new pin system computers know how to form a perfect triangle.
A nonprofit arts-education haven for the community, Rhapsody instructs budding virtuosos and aesthetes of all ages through programs in music, art, drama, and other distinctly cultured pursuits. The artistic equivalent of a superhero brigade, the roster of teachers includes many with master's degrees in their specialty. Among the classes offered this summer, Songwriters Workshop teaches the basics of setting words to music and digging up repressed emotions about previous-life breakups (ages 13+, $75).

Marlene La Fleur?s equine epiphany struck in 1963, when an American Saddlebred steed named Mr. Sandman motivated her to open a stable and breed her own army of championship horses. Since then, Marlene and her husband?s stable has grown by leaps and bounds, with the rein-tuggers moving into an ultramodern barn and training facility in 2001 that allowed them to expand their English-style riding lessons. Placing an emphasis on horsemanship and equitation, Marlene?s daughter Neva leads hands-on lessons that cycle through proper grooming, tacking, and riding techniques catered to each student?s individual skill set. Pintsized riders may also celebrate birthdays or visits from John Wayne?s ghost during group parties replete with barn tours, breezy trots, and a party room that boasts a full kitchen. The stable?s stylish and well-mannered steeds kick up their hooves in spacious 144-square-foot stalls, which are built from southern yellow pine and equipped with individual windows overlooking the grounds? picturesque rolling hills.
Snap Fitness's easyFIT monitor is a small, clip-on accelerometer that helps keep track of daily exercise. Unlike pedometers that merely measure steps and spy on daydreams, the easyFIT monitor senses the intensity and duration of physical activity, transmogrifying those stats into simple, numerical points that help assess activity levels from sedentary to peak performance. In addition to tracking exercise in real time, easyFIT monitors can connect to the wearer's personal web portal to upload data and create fitness graphs that help show progress, snag exercise suggestions, and stave off the temptation of living next to a hamburger farm. Watch a video about the easyFit here.
Black Forest blossomed from its beginnings as a traditional stable and training facility to a center for equine-assisted learning and healing. Though plenty of guests still visit the picturesque farm for riding lessons, visitors also come to connect with a host of friendly farm animals. That's because the facility gives people the unique chance to feed treats to horses, walk among stunning peacocks, and discuss their favorite books with goats whether you're child or an adult. But perhaps the stables' biggest source of pride is its outreach in the wider community, contributing to programs such as the I Am Magic Foundation for children and with veterans' groups.
Anytime Fitness, which boasts more than 1,800 clubs in North America, makes it easier for average folks to etch out time for exercise by doing one simple thing: staying open 24 hours a day for 365 days a year. As fitness seekers challenge themselves on cardio and Hammer Strength machines and hoist Iron Grip free weights in clean, well-stocked facilities, security monitoring ensures they?re safe and producing enough sweat to meet official government standards. Members can also ramp up their exercise regimens with the help of Anytime Fitness?s staff of personal trainers, who demonstrate moves and sling motivating tips. After workouts, guests can shower in the private restrooms or hop into one of the tanning booths available 24 hours a day.

New Genetic Study Proves Whites Most Evolved.

* Afrocentrists argue that all other civilizations of the ancient world were either black or owe their achievements to the theft of African ideas. India and China are, in the Afrocentric model, indebted to black ingenuity. "The early inhabitants of India were black," writes John Jackson. "They have Negroid features, dark skin, and woolly hair. " Indeed, those who built the Mohenjo Daro and Harappa civilizations in India were not Indians at all, he claims, but "Asiatic Ethiopians. " Similarly, the great philosophy and art that emerged in China during the Shang dynasty really derives from black Africans. In They Came Before Columbus, Ivan Van Sertima argues that it was Africans, rather than Columbus, who discovered America. Scrutinizing artifacts of the Olmec civilization of ancient Mexico to find Negro features, Van Sertima argues that Africans using advanced navigational techniques migrated to produce the mathematical and architectural wonders wrongly attributed to the Mayas, Incas, and Aztecs.

India IS Black but traumatized.
China admitted its Black origins both genetically and culturally a few years ago.
The people of South Asia and Oceania are clearly Black people. They migrated into the Americas on foot.
The Greeks outright worshiped Black Gods and Hippocrates is none other than Imhotep who lived 2000 years before Greece even existed.
Caucasians from the Caucasus come in some extremely dark tones as well, we can just call them Melanin enriched to you don't feel bad.
"White" people have single handedly devolved the entire human race a few pegs first by envy,then by greed and now because they are afraid of what is coming.

KAFKA'S QUEST to Run 2/26-3/15 at Theater for the New City
by BWW News Desk - Jan 26, 2015 'Kafka's Quest, a.k.a. Kafka/Samsa' is a quasi-realistic play by the late playwright Lu Hauser that imagines the family life of Gregor Samsa, the tragic victim of Kafka's 'Metamorphosis,' and his friendship with an historic Yiddish Theater actor and actress in Prague, prior to the events of the famed novella. Set in Prague in 1912, it portrays Gregor Samsa (the name Kafka personified himself with in the book) as torn between his father, who wants to keep him on the straight and narrow with a full time job, and his friendship with artists of the Yiddish Theater, who want him to join and write for them. His father's bankruptcy forces Gregor to become the breadwinner of the family, which has been forced to take in two mysterious lodgers to make ends meet. The back and forth between the two poles of Gregor's life will culminate in 'The Metamorphosis.' Theater for the New City will present the play's world premiere February 26 to March 15, directed by Manfred Bormann. (more...)

BWW Reviews: Theatre J Strikes Comic Gold with LIFE SUCKS
by Andrew White - Jan 22, 2015 Filled with laughs and anarchic asides, as well as a healthy dose of audience participation, Theatre J has an unqualified hit in Aaron Posner's Life Sucks [Or the Present Ridiculous]. Here we have Posner's thoroughly irreverent, Jewish take on Uncle Vanya, Russian playwright Anton Chekov's classic tale of unrequited love and unfulfilled lives.

This question came to me after watching a forensics show recently. This lady in Atlanta had been killed and the DA had a pretty strong case against her husband. One of the husband's good friends (whom he owed money to) was also killed. The husband said the friend had came into his house (thinking it empty) to rob him for the debt and surprised the wife, so he killed her, then husband came in and killed friend in self defense. Both men were bookies, by the way.
One of the things introduced in the trial by the prosecution was the idea that the couple was having big problems, including their difference of religion. She was a Christian with "very strong feelings" about her spirituality. He was atheist. Again, the prosecution already had a good case without this tidbit.
What stood out to me was the jury deliberation time. They came back with a guilty in 45 minutes. That's awful damn fast. Do you think the jury just thought "sure he's guilty because atheists have no morals"? Seemed like it was at least a contributing factor.
So, if one of us was on trial for murder or some other violent crime, do you think it would sway a jury to "guilty" due to our lack of religion?
@Micael Penn, thanks for the XBMC and Koni information.
Sorry Michael, I misspelled your name and didn't catch it.
You are very welcome, only now I find I was in error. The next edition of the program will be called "kodi" and not "koni." Apparently this is a legal issue but the program will continue to go on. The newer issues of it will have this new name, kodi. Find out how t installl it in You Tube. XBMC same now as kodi.
It was an episode of 'Forensic Files' on HLN. It's a 30 minute show that comes on after their talk shows. Don't know if it's on youtube.
Do you remember what day it was aired, title of episode, keywords in summary?
If one can't watch it, it's not possible to know if one would agree with your idea that there was anti-atheist prejudice in the verdict.
If the jurors all agree when they start deliberations, there's not much for them to deliberate, and they would give the verdict quickly.
What was the name of the show??? Is it on Youtube?
Yeah, KH, the guy looked guilty as all-get-out. But the fact that the religious difference was brought up in the trial raised the question with me. Seems they were piling on, but if a case was hinged on reasonable doubt, known atheism could be a tipping point. That verdict was blazing fast.
The first article I found comparing religious and non-religious and violence is not a statistical analysis, however, it does give rationale for violence.
Religion, Violence, Crime and Mass Suicide
"According to statistics from the Federal Bureau of Prisons, Christians make up almost 80 percent of the prison population. Atheists make up about 0.2 percent. [...] It is safe to conclude that the godless do not fill prisons. Published studies do indicate that a child's risk of sexual abuse by a family member increases as the family's religious denomination becomes more conservative, that is, when the teachings of scriptures and other doctrines are taken more literally. Similarly, the probability of wife abuse increases with the rigidity of a church's teachings pertaining to gender roles and hierarchy. [...] Even observers from the Christian side have expressed dismay that the current dominance of evangelical Christianity in America has not translated into a strengthening of the nation's moral character or the characters of evangelical Christians themselves. In an article in Christianity Today, theologian Ronald Sider lamented [...]:
"The findings in numerous national polls conducted by highly respected pollsters like The Gallup Organization and The Barna Group are simply shocking. 'Gallup and Barna,' laments evangelical theologian Michael Horton, 'hand us survey after survey demonstrating that evangelical Christians are as likely to embrace lifestyles every bit as hedonistic, materialistic, self-centered, and sexually immoral as the world in general.' "
The entire article is well worth the read.
Joan this is similar to data I have seen in the past. Either atheists commit fewer crimes per capita, or conviction rare is higher, which doesn't make sense, or people convert to religion in prison.
I don't think there is effective bias against atheists as far as incarceration is concerned.
Now when it comes to race, that's another matter. Specifically, African American men. Every time I turn around there's another police or judicial atrocity committed against black men. Man in Minnesota arrested and tazed in front of his kids for sitting on a bench whil.... It's not the atheists who have to worry.

ON 1st JANUARY 2015 APRODEV BECOMES ACT ALLIANCE ADVOCACY TO THE EU
Effective 1 January 2015 APRODEV, the Association of World Council of Churches related Development Organisations in Europe, will integrate its activities with that of ACT Alliance.
ACT Alliance is a coalition of 146 churches and affiliated organisations working together in over 140 countries in the areas of humanitarian aid, development and advocacy. ACT Alliance is supported by 25,000 staff from member organisations and its international secretariat is located in Geneva, Switzerland.
From January 1 APRODEV's name will be 'ACT Alliance Advocacy to the European Union', or 'ACT Alliance EU' for short. Our purpose will remain unchanged: to influence European Union decision-making processes as they affect developing countries in order to promote justice and peace and the eradication of poverty.
The integration of the two organisations makes sense. APRODEV's 14 member agencies are all members of ACT Alliance. More importantly, the integration lets us root our work even more strongly in communities and partners in the global South. And it allows APRODEV and ACT Alliance to join efforts to influence global processes, combining APRODEV's EU advocacy and policy expertise with ACT Alliance's advocacy work in the global South and with the United Nations to help create positive and sustainable change in the lives of the poor and marginalised, the communities we seek to serve, and to safeguard their human rights.
On 1 January our name changes. We will remain a not-for-profit association under Belgian law, and we will keep working to positively influence EU policy from our offices in the European quarter at Bld. Charlemagne 28, 1000 Brussels. Our telephone numbers and contact details remain unchanged. In 2015 we will introduce our new logo, website and email addresses.
As the second week of the UN climate talks begins in Lima, progress on several fronts has been made towards a concrete draft proposal for a potential agreement to be adopted next year in Paris. The EU arrived this year with a new climate package for the period of 2020 till 2030 which let the way for the USA and China to follow suite with their own agreements. However, we have noticed little pro-activeness from the EU delegation during the negotiations and some inconsistencies which are not in line with science and an equitable vision of the world.
Today was the opening of the UN Climate negotiations held this year in Lima, where all countries in the world are meeting for two weeks to find a series of agreements to tackle climate change. While many countries have pledged financial contributions to help others with less resources to mitigate their emissions, to adapt to climate change and to face climate disasters, three European Union countries have remained silent.
"The countries who have actually pledged money to the Green Climate Fund are helping to reach an agreement, although it's clear that the sums are far from enough and wrongfully taken from existing commitments of aid budgets. We need to see all rich countries live up to their responsibility, but especially those who haven't pledged at all", says Petter Lydén, Policy Adviser at Diakonia, member of Aprodev. Read more
Climate scientists in the UN panel on climate change (IPCC) are wrapping up their latest meeting, held in Copenhagen over the past week. Their fifth report is fresh on the table, and it is full of predictions about our future. Read ACT Alliance press release
After several months of suspense, the European Council finally adopted, in the middle of the night of October 23rd, the 2030 Energy and Climate Package. Until the last day certain member states threaten to veto the proposal if some short-sighted domestic political demands were not taken into account.
This package is supposed to frame the European energy and climate policies for ten years starting in 2020. It should be in the continuity of the 2020 Package, reflect commitments to cut greenhouse gas emissions and improve energy security and efficiency. It barely covers these objectives and once again EU member states showed no solidarity and common sense of acting together, and proved to the world that the EU is definitely no longer a leader in international climate negotiations.

Read the policy brief: The Role of European Development Finance Institutions in Land Grabs -
The relation between development and religion has become a hot issue during the past ten years or so. For a long time, not much attention was given to the topic as some in the secularising 'West' predicted that the role of religion in society would fade away, while it was a non-issue in the South where no separation is made between development and religion which permeates all realms of life.
However, the terrorist attacks on the Twin Towers in New York and the Pentagon in Washington DC constituted a turning point as many in the West started to realise that, for better or for worse, religion does play a role in society. Read more ...

You can call this the Lindstrom philosophy. You have to have a license to drive. You must pass a test to drive. You must have car insurance. You must register your car. How about if we require all gun owners to register as a gun owner. They should have to register all of their guns. They must pass a background investigation and a gun safety class. A test. If you buy a gun either from a dealer or a private sale you must both have a background investigation. The same thing goes for the seller. Each gun. Each transaction. Each seller. Each buyer. The original intent of the Second Amendment was to have every person be able to have a gun in their house to be used to overthrow the government. They put it in there to prevent having bad government. Not so some drunk can put a gun in his or her pants and use it to shoot people in the local bar or elementary school. I would never say that people cannot drive or own a car as long as they comply with the law. The same should be true with guns.
