Who do you think is the favorite on season 11 of American Idol?
Who is the season 11 American Idol favorite?
Around the Web
Deandre, I like you from the first moment I saw you, you were so cute and humble, that's what I like about you. Though I never like falsetto but now you make me like falsetto and I will buy your album. I thank Steven Tyler for saving him and said "you can let your hair down one more time" Yes, Deandre, let your hair down and sing your heart out. Your're the reason I am watching American Idol.
You got to win this game Deandre! If only I could vote, I will vote you very week. Deandre Fans, pls give all your vote to him.
DeAndre is absolutely amazing! He deserves to stay...he's not only great in the falsetto range but he is also great in a lower register as will! He will be my vote every single week and if he goes home I won't be watching the show anymore...#TEAMDRE !!!!!! WE SUPPORT UUUU :))))
DeAndre is the most talented contestant this year and I feel that he could go all the way! I loved him last season and love him even more this season! Go Dre! Your DreDreamers are proud of you no matter what! We love you!
Go DeAndre! By far the most talented and highest range....he is consistantly good....I will be buying everything he puts out! My Fav tho is "Georgia on my mind" I wish itunes would put that one on there....
Colton is by far the most talented this year. When you look at hou sales are going, only a few of them might make it in the business. Colton writes his own music, so thats already a big plus! Elise is just as talented, amazing voice and quite current. Hollie can really sing and belt out notes, though she still needs a lot of work (and she's still young) but i have a feeling those 3 would do well as recording artists. Deandre can reach those notes, but no feeling at all. The selection of songs he's performing lacks melody and is not very current at all,he needs to do songs the american viewers can relate to. Just a thought/opinion.
DEANDRE is the most unique & talented singer, awesome style, tone of his voice, range EVERYTHING all his own! and charisma too love to watch him perform too! soo cute! all the others? copycat/wannabes & heard all that before /yawn
Luv DeAndre!!! The whole package He's going to win!!!
Yeeeeaaaaahhhh DeAndre! Absolutely unique, which is more than one can say about some of the other contestants! Didn't like the song choice last week, mostly because it wasn't really age appropriate but he is the front runner in my books!
DeAndre is such an amazing talent! His voice is so crisp and he has an amazing range! He has proven that he can sing any song and continues to attract a strong fan base! He is very humble and always takes time for his family, friends and fans! He is so gorgeous and is so young he is the perfect AMERICAN IDOL! He has so many adoring fans INCLUDING ME (DREDREAMER ALL THE WAY!) Deandre is genuine and sweet and deserves to win! :)

Best budget all-in-one PCs (20 inches or smaller)
If you're willing to accept a display of 20 inches or smaller, you can pick up a good all-in-one for a little over $500
The very best all-in-one PCs sport fast quad-core processors, large and beautiful displays, gaming-class graphics, and even touch screens, Blu-ray drives, and HDTV tuners with remote controls. On the downside, they can easily set you back $1,000 or $2,000 or more. (See "Best Big Screen All-in-One PCs.")
If you're willing to sacrifice CPU and graphics horsepower, screen real estate, multi-touch functionality, and other fancy features, you can pay hundreds or thousands less. However, some wallet-friendly all-in-ones make a few too many compromises. We find the MSI Wind Top AE2010 and the HP Pavilion MS214 to be the best of the bargain all-in-one class.

Do you have any helpful hints on staying relaxed while running? Sometimes I find myself quite tense. Kada
Susan Paul replies:
Kada, staying relaxed while you run is important because tension compromises your running form. Teach yourself to do a "body check" periodically throughout your run. This means mentally running through a quick assessment from head to toe while you are running. The first thing you should note is any discomfort or pain in any part of your body and how you are feeling. The next thing to note is your running form. Notice any areas of tension. Most runners carry tension in their upper body so note the position of your arms and shoulders: Are your shoulders elevated up toward your ears? Are your hands about to hit your shoulders? Are you swinging your arms across the mid-line of your body? After noting your running form, try this exercise: drop your arms and take a deep breath. Exhale forcefully. As you exhale, let your arms hang loose and gently shake them out. This process will help relieve any tension in your upper body. After a couple of deep breaths, put your arms back in place; keeping your shoulders down, slightly back, and relaxed. Elbows should be at about 90 degrees, wrists and hands relaxed. Your arms should swing at your side and not cross your mid-line. You want your arms to carry you forward, not side to side. Repeat this check periodically throughout your run and it will soon become second nature.

Monolithic Polarization and Phase Diversity Coherent Receiver in Silicon
Journal of Lightwave Technology, Vol. 28, Issue 4, pp. 520-525 (2010)
Acrobat PDF (1280 KB)
In this paper, we realized a monolithic silicon photonic integrated circuit (PIC) for polarization and phase diversity coherent detection. The PIC includes two polarization beam splitters, two 90$^{\circ}$ optical hybrids, and four pairs of balanced photodiodes implemented as integrated germanium detectors. We tested the PIC using polarization-division multiplexed quadrature phase-shift keyed signals at 43 and at 112 Gb/s.

While it is more than obvious to me, what I do on a daily basis, I've recently come to realize that some of you may have no idea. I have been getting lots of questions about my job and what I do all day long, so I thought I would explain. I used to work as junior manager social media for a big German fashion retailer for over 2.5 years. The company then decided to move their location from Vienna to Düsseldorf (Germany) this past July, which is when I decided to give my baby (aka Bikinis & Passports) and The Daily Dose the chance they have always deserved. 100% of my time dedicated to blogging and building a little company of my own, together with Kathi, my partner in crime. We both went full-time with the self employment in July and it has been the best decision of our lives! Thanks to you guys, I can officially call my blog my job, and together we have also created an agency for social media, called TDD Social. We help companies with their social presence, we take care of Facebook and Instagram accounts and we consult with blogger relations and give input when needed. Of course this is work that you guys don't necessarily get to see here on the blog, but it is what pays my bills and has allowed us to move into our pretty little #tddoffice. Even though we've already shared some impressions of our work space over on The Daily Dose, I still wanted to give you guys some insight to where I spend most of my time. Welcome to our office:
FOR THE HOME: time for an update
It's nice to see your home come together over the years, and I truly love our little abode, but when you love decorating as much as I do, you also miss those first few weeks and months in a new place, where there was still so much to do. No more major changes to be made or furniture to be bought nowadays… That is, until we decided to upgrade our rug (I basically jumped of joy when Mike agreed to the plan). Don't get me wrong, I loved that blue patterned beauty up until the last second, but over the past 2 years it had to endure a lot of sunlight and the color started to fade. Plus, I was ready for something a little more elegant. I must have forgotten how difficult it is to find nice rugs in Europe since my last purchase, because again, I found myself frustrated after a while. Luckily, however, I finally came across onloom.at a few weeks back and spotted this stunner by Michalsky Living within a few minutes! Literally: rug of my dreams and absolutely perfect for our living room! It is hard to put into words (or pictures for that matter) how amazingly soft it is, but let me just tell you that everyone who has ever touched it doesn't want to leave our place anymore.
FOR THE HOME: tales for oskar
I have a major weakness for pretty coffee table books. And while I do want them to look good around the apartment, I also want them to actually inspire me. Whether it is home decor, beautiful stories or photographs – books should be an escape from reality. My most recent purchase is "Tales For Oskar" by the super talented Kristian Schuller. He is my personal favorite photographer (some of you may know him from Germany's Next Top Model) and I feel like his fashion photography captures the essence of a modern day fairy tale. A few years ago I saw some of his work at the Kunsthalle here in Vienna, and from the entire exhibition his photographs definitely stuck with me the most and made a lasting impression. So much, that I went back to see the same exhibition for a second time.
FOR THE HOME: office space
Being self-employed has been the most amazing experience so far. The last 4 months have literally gone by in a heart beat and not a single day goes by that I don't love my "job". During the Summer, Kathi and I didn't have an office space for The Daily Dose yet and were mostly working from my dining table or sofa. Even though it sounds like a ton of fun at first, it quickly get's kind of depressive being home all day – sometimes not even changing out of your pyjamas. I used to love getting up and dressed for my old job, grabbing coffee on the way and having more of a rhythm or daily routine. It was important to both Kathi and I to bring that routine back into our lives. On September 1st we got the keys to our little #tddoffice and it has been so exciting and fulfilling, leaving the house to go to our very own space every morning. We've already shared some impressions over on The Daily Dose, but just in case you missed it – here is a peek at the place that I now like to consider my second living room:

Despite the fact that VIA announced that they had shipped their 100 Millionth chipset for AMD, it seems like that they've had some difficulties with getting the K8T890 out in volume. Despite an announcement during the fall that chipsets have been shipping out to partners, there are very few boards based around the K8T890 out and they certainly are not as pervasive as the nForce 4.
It's been a couple months now since we've looked at another K8T890 board, the Soltek SL-K890Pro-939. It was fast, (benchmarks are consistently high when pitted up against a variety of nForce 4 boards), stable and at the time, it had the best overclocking results out of any Socket 939 boards that we had tested. K8T890 boards are also looking cheaper than the nForce 4 Ultra equivalents though at the expense of a weaker feature set (which we will get to later).
After sampling a couple of Gigabyte's nForce 4 SLI boards, today we take a look at our second K8T890 board, the GA-K8VT890-9. With a bevy of PCIe products centered around the nForce 4, it seems like the K8VT890-9 is the entry level solution for customers looking at entering the PCIe world but are on a budget. There is no hardware firewall, nor fancy RAID implementation and certainly no SLI but it is a Socket 939 board and it is PCI Express based and is an upgrade friendly solution compared to Socket 754 and AGP based offerings.

Effective January 1, 2011, referring physicians (non-radiologists) who provide MRI, CT and PET scans in their office practices will be required to make certain disclosures and provide information to their Medicare patients or risk violation of the physician self-referral law (Social Security Act Section 1877, also know as the "Stark Law").
The Stark Law: (1) Prohibits a physician from making referrals for certain "designated health services" (DHS) payable by Medicare to an entity with which he or she (or an immediate family member) has a financial relationship (ownership or compensation), unless an exception applies; and (2) prohibits the entity from submitting claims to Medicare (or billing another individual, entity, or third party payer) for those DHS rendered as a result of a prohibited referral. The statute establishes a number of exceptions and grants the Secretary of DHHS the authority to create additional regulatory exceptions.
The Stark law's "In-Office Ancillary Services" exception permits a physician in a solo or group medical practice to order and provide DHS (other than most durable medical equipment and parenteral and enteral nutrients) in the office of the physician or group practice, where certain supervision, location and billing requirements are met.
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 ("PPACA")
Identifying your office location is also an important aspect of starting a practice. Things to consider when looking at office space are as follows: square footage, price per square foot, local referral sources, competition, accessibility, parking, expansion opportunities, and local demographics. Furthermore, physicians need to consider whether they want to rent the office space or purchase the property. Either way, the medical practice will have to negotiate a good real estate agreement which protects the practice.

On June 13, 2010, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) published a proposed rule on how to implement section 6003 of the PPACA. See 75 Fed Reg. 40140-40142 ("Proposed Rule"). The Proposed Rule required that the written notice must include no fewer than 10 suppliers located within a 25 mile radius of the physician's office location at the time the referral is made. If fewer than 10 other suppliers are available within the 25 mile radius, the physician must list all of the other suppliers of the particular imaging service that are present in the 25 mile radius. The written notice must include information regarding the listed suppliers, including the name, address, phone number, and distance from the physician's office location. The rule also required that the physician obtain the patient's signature on the disclosure notice, and that a copy of the signed disclosure notice must be maintained in the patient's medical record.
CMS Final Rule
CMS finalized the Rule on November 29, 2010. See 75 Fed Reg. 73443-73447. The effective date of the Final Rule is January 1, 2011. The Final Rule makes a number of significant changes from the Proposed Rule:
Q: What services trigger the Disclosure Requirement?
A: The Disclosure Requirement applies to MRI, CT and PET services. Even though the PPACA gave the Secretary authority to apply the disclosure requirement to other DHS services, the Secretary declined to expand the disclosure requirement in the Final Rule.
Q: Does the use of CT imaging always trigger the disclosure requirement?
A: No. The disclosure requirement applies to all in-office referrals for CT imaging services that are categorized as "radiology and certain other imaging services" by the list of CPT/HCPCS codes. For example the use of CT imaging which is integral to the performance of radiation therapy treatments, that are included in the DHS category of radiation therapy services and supplies, does not constitute a "referral' as defined by 411.351, and the disclosure requirements would not apply.
Q: What are the general disclosure requirements?
A: The disclosure notice "should be written in a manner sufficient to be reasonably understood by all patients" and must, as the PPACA requires, be given at the time of the referral. The notice must indicate to the patient that the services may be obtained from a person other than the referring physician or his or her group practice and must include a list of other suppliers who provide the service being referred (MRI, CT, or PET).
Q: Will a physician satisfy the disclosure requirement by giving patients the list of suppliers upon initiation of the physician-patient relationship, and annually thereafter?
A: No. The PPACA requires the disclosure to be made "in writing at the time of the referral". CMS states that this means the disclosure must be presented to the patient each time one of the listed advance imaging services is referred.
Q: Must the disclosure be made for subsequent referrals made via phone call?
A: The written disclosure must still be provided. Mailing or e-mailing the disclosure to the patient would be acceptable if verbal notification has also occurred.
Q: Will CMS prepare a draft disclosure document that physicians can use as a model?
A: No. CMS does not plan to prepare standard disclosure language. Each physician office is responsible for drafting the language employed in the notice.
Q: May the physician's notice make it clear that inclusion of other suppliers is not intended as an endorsement or recommendation of those suppliers?
A: Yes. There is nothing in section 6003 of the PPACA or the Final Rule that precludes the physician from doing so.
Q: What information must be included in the list of Alternate Suppliers?
A: The notice must list 5 alternate suppliers located within a 25 – mile radius of the physician's office at the time of the referral. The name, address, and phone number of each supplier must be provided.
The Proposed Rule required a list of 10 suppliers, but the Final Rule decreases the required number of alternate suppliers to 5. Also, the Final Rule removes the requirement that the distance from the referring physician's office be included in the notice.
Q: Is the disclosure requirement satisfied by furnishing the patient with a list of hospitals?
A: No. The PPACA requires physicians to provide patients with a list of alternate "suppliers" (as defined in section 1861(d) of the Social Security Act). Under the statute, hospitals are "providers of services" not "suppliers". The statute defines "supplier" to include a physician or other practitioner, a facility or entity (other than a provider of services). CMS states, however, that physicians are not precluded from listing hospitals in the disclosure notice as long as the required number of suppliers is also included. CMS encourages, for example, that in rural areas where no other suppliers exist in the 25 mile radius, physicians may list a hospital on the disclosure notice as an alternate location for the patient to receive the referred imaging service.
Q: Did CMS provide an exception to the disclosure requirement for services furnished on an emergency or time sensitive basis?
A: No. CMS states that it does not believe such an exception is necessary. In those situations, physician should make a reasonable attempt to provide the notice to the patient and document that the attempt was made.
Q: How should physicians go about the task of compiling alternate suppliers?
A: CMS declined to prescribe any one method. CMS does not plan to create a standard form or a publicly available database for this disclosure requirement. CMS will not require Medicare contractors to furnish lists of all entities providing such services.
CMS states that some physicians may choose to compile a list of suppliers from an internet search, and others may know suppliers in the 25 mile radius.
Q: What is the frequency with which a physician must review and update the list of suppliers?
A: CMS recommends that the list of suppliers be reviewed annually for accuracy and updated at that time, if necessary.
Q: What are the Documentation requirements?
A: The Proposed Rule required that a record of the patient's signature on the disclosure notification must be maintained in the patient's medical record. In the Final Rule, CMS acknowledged that obtaining the patient's signature and maintaining a copy of such in the medical record may be burdensome. CMS states that, nevertheless, physicians should document that they have complied with the disclosure requirement. For example, the physician could document in the patient's chart that the notice was given to the patient.
Q: What is the Effective Date of the new disclosure requirement?
A: The new disclosure requirement applies to services furnished on or after January 1, 2011.

Top 10 U.S. Small-Cap, Mid-Cap ETFs
IWR (iShares Russell MidCap ETF) tracks the Russell MidCap Index. It was launched in July 2007. The expense ratio is .23% and AUM equal nearly $7 billion. The average daily trading volume is around 500K shares. The dividend is $.36% making the yield around 1.35%. The YTD return as of June 2011 has also been 4%. Below youâ¿¿ll note the holdings which are quite different from MDY. Nevertheless, the performance has been similar if not the same.

IWP (iShares Russell MidCap Growth) follows the Russell MidCap Growth Index. It was launched in July 2001. The expense ratio is .25%. AUM equal $3.2 billion and average daily trading volume is just under 500K shares. The current dividend is $.10 making the current yield less than .75% with the YTD return as of June 2011 of 4.50%.
Alternative issues to consider include IJK (iShares S&P MidCap 400 Growth ETF) and VOT (Vanguard MidCap Growth ETF) which tracks the MSCI US MidCap Growth Index. VOT should merit your attention given its low expense ratio of .15% with similar holdings. Despite its more recent appearance, launched in August 2006, it certainly has enough liquidity with $1.2 billion in AUM and 135K average daily trading volume.

I'm a bit confused about what data structure I can use to be able to do following tasks rather fast:
- Save tuples (can be changed to contain a keyword). Will be something like {UserInfo, Time, TimeLvl}
- Remove element knowing the tuple (or the keyword)
- Update all contained elements, changing one of the tuple's elements about once a second (TimeLvl will get higher the longer the user waits).
The Contained data will change a lot as users come and go.
What would be the best data-structure for this use case?

An Equivalent Emission Minimization Strategy for Causal Optimal Control of Diesel Engines
Received: 9 December 2013 / Revised: 18 February 2014 / Accepted: 21 February 2014 / Published: 27 February 2014
Abstract: One of the main challenges during the development of operating strategies for modern diesel engines is the reduction of the CO2 emissions, while complying with ever more stringent limits for the pollutant emissions. The inherent trade-off between the emissions of CO2 and pollutants renders a simultaneous reduction difficult. Therefore, an optimal operating strategy is sought that yields minimal CO2 emissions, while holding the cumulative pollutant emissions at the allowed level. Such an operating strategy can be obtained offline by solving a constrained optimal control problem. However, the final-value constraint on the cumulated pollutant emissions prevents this approach from being adopted for causal control. This paper proposes a framework for causal optimal control of diesel engines. The optimization problem can be solved online when the constrained minimization of the CO2 emissions is reformulated as an unconstrained minimization of the CO2 emissions and the weighted pollutant emissions (i.e., equivalent emissions). However, the weighting factors are not known a priori. A method for the online calculation of these weighting factors is proposed. It is based on the Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman (HJB) equation and a physically motivated approximation of the optimal cost-to-go. A case study shows that the causal control strategy defined by the online calculation of the equivalence factor and the minimization of the equivalent emissions is only slightly inferior to the non-causal offline optimization, while being applicable to online control.

Amber Tamblyn stars as Sarah Russell, an aspiring medical student who originally returns home to share some bad news with her family, but can't bear to face the truth and instead suffers in silence. An emotional story dealing with relationships, tragedy, and the rebounding of the human spirit, the film shows how adversity can either bring people together or tear them apart. Deeply moving and powerful, the film's main message is about forgiveness and dealing with guilt in order to let go of the past and embrace the future.
Five years earlier, a tragedy occurred while Sarah Russell (Amber Tamblyn) was babysitting at the neighbors' house. Despite leaving for college and trying to forget the past, Sarah has yet to fully forgive herself. As she waits to hear back from Northwestern Medical School, she receives some unsettling news that she knows she should share with her family. After facing her fears and returning home, Sarah receives support from unexpected sources, paving the way towards forgiveness and hope.

The Fusion Shave
Ahh, yes: the straight razor shave. So old school. So romantic. Skyfall even made it very sexy. And I will be the first to say that every man –gentleman, or not– should get a straight razor shave at least once in their life. It is a rare form of male pampering that is indulgent, nostalgic, relaxing, and beautifying all at the same time.
That said, there is a reason we aren't all shaving with straight razors. The reality is that the skin on our face is not conditioned for a razor so sharp, so close, and hence, the multi-billion dollar cartridge razor industry dominates. Trained and licensed barbers capable of performing a shave with a straight razor are only slightly more common than experienced barbers that can do it well. Finding one can, literally, be painful.
But what if you could get all the pampering without the precariousness?
There is a middle ground: the Fusion shave. It incorporates all the best parts of a straight razor shave (the hot towels, the application of pre-shave oil and foaming shave cream, someone else shaving your face), the aftershave mask, without the worst parts (threat of nicks & cuts, risk of a skin reaction). For the time-starved, a Fusion shave can also be performed in 20-30 minutes vs. 45-60 minutes for a traditional straight razor shave. Granted, the extra time in the chair is relaxing, but it's only a true man of leisure that can spare hours a week for his shave.
On my wedding day, my groomsmen and I had the pleasure of Joe Roberts, Wingtip's Master Barber, cutting hair and performing Fusion shaves so we'd all look as well-groomed as possible. Mission accomplished.

I have a PFA against my daughters biological father for both of us for 3 years. He as done absolutely nothing for her she is now 3. She does not know who he is, she knows My boyfriend as her father. He was in her life only because he lived with me. When i asked him to move out (she was 13 mo.) he never called i called him every time for him to see her. She saw him twice for a total of 20 mins. He does not care about her at all. Has not bathed clothed nor changed a diaper or played with her for that matter. I do not need him Messing with her head when shes older and he wants to try and play dad. Please help.
You can't. Not like that, anyway.
First, it is the child's right to his or her parents as much as the parent's right to his children which is at stake, and the law does not permit one parent to unilaterally revoke the parental rights of the other parent (or his or her own, for that matter).
Bearing that in mind, parental rights may be terminated (1) by the state, following a minimum of 18 months of CYS supervision, or (2) by the other parent IF there is a putative adoptive parent waiting in the wings. Under the latter scenario, the parent who stands to lose his parental rights has an opportunity to object to the adoption (and consequent termination).
But where there are two living parents, the law requires two living parents. Custody court and child support are your best bet.
If you and your boyfriend get married and the father continues to be absent and your new husband wants to adopt the child, you will be a position to file a Petition to terminate his parental rights. The court will not terminate his rights without a simultaneous adoption. You will need to meet with an attorney to prepare the paperwork.
You don't have a "right" to have another parents custodial rights terminated due to being an absentee parent. A court in some circumstances may terminate rights, but as the other attorneys have noted, it would require an adoptive parent and it can be challenged by the biological parent. Your child's emotional confusion is a valid concern, perhaps you can preempt any later problems with counseling

"I think the thing that's changed the most over the years is that it just becomes more and more and more difficult to sustain organizations and to sustain the art itself. The funding climate has changed over the years: it's much more difficult and much more competitive. And the nature of the audience has changed as well. There is just so much more competition for people's time especially with what's available online, in new media, and on demand."

The Beak of the Finch
A Story of Evolution in Our Time
(If any tax is payable it will be calculated and shown at checkout.)
Winner of the Pulitzer PrizeWinner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize
On a desert island in the heart of the Galapagos archipelago, where Darwin received his first inklings of the theory of evolution, two scientists, Peter and Rosemary Grant, have spent twenty years proving that Darwin did not know the strength of his own theory. For among the finches of Daphne Major, natural selection is neither rare nor slow: it is taking place by the hour, and we can watch.
In this dramatic story of groundbreaking scientific research, Jonathan Weiner follows these scientists as they watch Darwin's finches and come up with a new understanding of life itself. The Beak of the Finch is an elegantly written and compelling masterpiece of theory and explication in the tradition of Stephen Jay Gould.
With a new preface.

If you are a resident of any country within the European Union (EU), you are required to pay Value Added Tax (VAT) in accordance with European Union Directive 77/388/EEC. This directive requires that companies located outside of the EU, who provide electronic goods and eServices to private consumers residing in the EU, remit VAT taxes to the EU member states in which the customers are residents. The VAT is calculated at the applicable rate of the country in which the customer is a resident. Only business-to-consumer sales are taxable.http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CELEX:31977L0388:en:HTMLBusiness-to-business sales may be exempt from the Value Added Tax if the business making the purchase has a current and valid VAT ID number.

I Hate It When a Client give me 1 star rating after my free help with a little bigger customisation.
dtbaker said
Well just lucky there is no way to reliably identify location of previous buyers. All my buyers are from China right?
Ha ha ha, european bureaucrats are not so stupid. Digital product in the VAT enactment is a service, the service is performed in country where company is registered. So, let's say, swedish company must always collect 25% of VAT from each non-business client.
So Envato didn't pay GST tax? Well, it's a weird law in Australia Probably in most countries Envato is a seller because when somebody is buying on your website, the money is landing on your business account, so you are the seller. Envato just doesn't work like a classic marketplace (eBay) where buyers are sending money and personal data to sellers (not to eBay).
Icaroferreira said
chilly_orange saidEverything I buy worldwide I have support. Here you say that it is a privilege to have support?
First off, support is a privilege, not a god-given right. It's not mandatory, period.Second, three days is not an awful lot of time. Please realise that authors have a live outside Envato too, often times having a regular job or doing consulting work on the site.
The more emotional and abusive you'll get, the smaller the chance the author will do anything to help…
Just relax, be patient
Really? I bought Windows and I didn't receive support, I bought very expensive Sony Bravia (not for $50), it doesn't read pendrive sometimes and of course they didn't help me. I bought very expensive Sony Alpha, it should support remote control but unfortunately it doesn't, do you think Sony resolved this problem? 99% companies on this planet don't offer support (after purchase), I'm talking about real support.

Me: €130.000 + VAT
Is it 1300? Or 130?
I hate when a client asks 50 pre-purchase questions.

as for the main topic of this thread, the person is simply requesting to have the option to show or not the Earning badge that's all, so as far as he's an author he's totally allowed to make this request

Articles, News, Promotions and Updates from Routledge and the Taylor & Francis Group.
NEW Constructive Clinical Supervision in Counseling and Psychotherapy articulates a practical, theoretical approach to supervision that integrates salient elements of a number of diverse but complementary theoretical perspectives from the fields of human development, psychotherapy, and clinical supervision to assist in facilitating supervisee growth and change from a constructivist framework. This constructive approach to supervision is designed to serve as a practical, integrative meta-theory for supervisors of any theoretical orientation.
NEW Bowen theory views the family as an emotional unit. The family is a natural system that has evolved, like all living systems. The elegance and unity of the concept of differentiation of self, and of Bowen theory in its entirety, is that they describe the basis of individual functioning in relation to others within the emotional systems of family, occupation, community, and larger society. This volume consists of essays elucidating and applying differentiation of self, the central concept of Bowen family systems theory and therapy.
NEW Cross-Cultural Roots of Minority Child Development was the first volume to analyze minority child development by comparing minority children to children in their ancestral countries, rather than to children in the host culture. It was a ground-breaking volume that not only offered an historical reconstruction of the cross-cultural roots of minority child development, but a new cultural-historical approach to developmental psychology as well.
The new editions of Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy: Distinctive Features and Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy: 100 Key Points and Techniques, have been updated throughout to take account of new changes in the field. These accessible and highly practicle guides will be invaluable to psychotherapists and counsellors in training and practice, ensuring comprehensive understanding of the REBT approach.
Just Published Intraindividual variability (IIV) of human development and behavior across the entire life-span is explored in this new book. Leading researchers summarize recent findings on the extent, role, and function of IIV in human development with a focus on how, when, and why individuals change over time. The latest theoretical, methodological, and technological advances are reviewed. The book explores the historical and theoretical background and challenges of IIV research along with its role and function in childhood, adolescence, and adulthood.
NEW Trauma-Attachment Tangle offers informative and inspiring clinical stories of children who have complex trauma and attachment issues from experiences such as adoption, hospitalization, or death of a parent.
