Research regularly shows that the millennial generation are actively looking to work differently and are increasingly drawn to the type of careers the gig economy offers. As the gig economy grows, so do the opportunities for organizations of all sizes to increase their impact and profits in a way that is cost effective and creative.
Online social media, if unaddressed by an estate plan, can be the cause of litigation. A person's social media may include writings, pictures or other mementos. These items may hold sentimental value to that person's family members and friends in a way that may not have been contemplated by the deceased.
To say that Yolande (or simply "Yo") is in a high stress job is an understatement; she's part of a team that's making million dollar investment decisions before most of us have had our first coffee. But I've never seen anyone wear long hours and extreme pressure better. And in a world that can be dominated by arrogance and chest thumping, there is no ego on Yo.
Let's be frank, climate change is real. We, as a country, have to do more to fight climate change. That being said climate change is a red herring in this discussion. Why? Because up to 80 per cent of the emissions associated with fossil fuels are generated in their combustion. Pipelines represent a negligible part of that equation.
In 2015, the city of Summerside, Prince Edward Island, achieved the highest level of wind power integration in North America. While the province of P.E.I. is already a leader with 26 per cent of its electricity coming from wind power, the City of Summerside Electric Utility has ratcheted that up to an astonishing 46 per cent by adding a smart grid with energy storage.
The Canada Child Benefit is a new program aimed at helping families with the cost of raising children today and into the future. This is the week when the cheques (or direct deposits) are set to arrive. I'm optimistic that the money will prompt some families to open up a Registered Education Savings Plan for their kids.
The magic of the sharing economy is not that I share something with you, it's that something shares multiple uses and different value to different people. We have to shift our focus from what we share to how the object, tool or resources share multiple purposes.
This is a checklist for myself as much as it's for you. Although much of it applies to everyone, especially those who work at a desk, if you are an entrepreneur and work intensely, you likely need signs, signals, alarms and life forces to interrupt your work flow in order to take care of yourself.
Vanishing neighbourhoods, closing schools, escaping young people and market fragility. This is putting a large strain on working families throughout the province. Yet, we see a lack of action from our provincial government to tackle the areas they have the power to address. The worst part is that B.C.'s economy is built on real estate and construction.
Your customers want and expect your business to know them personally, to remember what interactions they have had with your company in the past, and anticipate their future needs. And if you can't accomplish all those things, it's game, set, match, I'm afraid.
Some of Canada's biggest success stories show us that if you want to make it big, you've got to move south. Slack, the popular chat application for business teams, was originally founded in Victoria but is now headquartered in San Francisco, where access to capital has helped the company achieve explosive growth. So why-oh-why would anyone want to live and work in Vancouver?
For many of today's road warriors, that means going beyond the traditional executive crash-pad of the past. While business travel can be exciting and full of opportunities, it can also at times feel lonely. All the more reason to make sure your accommodation ticks all the right boxes.
Housing activity in Toronto and Vancouver continues to skew the Canadian home sales picture, as these two markets experience characteristics that are very different from the rest of the country.
Or at least care for them. Good leaders connect with their teams on a personal level, showing genuine concern for them, because they know that, when you show that you care about your people, they'll feel it and be willing to do what it takes for the team to achieve its goals.
With prices at record highs, several industry insiders are speculating detached homes will soon be unattainable, pushing would-be buyers further toward more affordable options. Namely stacked townhomes and condo apartments -- even in the suburbs.
Yes, this is the biggest First World Problem known to (wo)man. But it does present a very real challenge - how does one manage a prominent social media following while staying productive?
You can't fight science and change neural signals generated by peoples' primitive brains that tell them whether they instantly like you, fear you, or just aren't sure about you. However, you can consciously manage the verbal and visual cues you send upon a first meeting that can turn the tide in your favour. Here's how.
The money raised through those taxes will have more impact if it is used to support prevention and counselling than it will by becoming part of general revenues used for various purposes. Second, the taxes will more likely be supported by the public if they are used for these specific ends.

Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: All-Sex
As cute as the women are, and as energetically as they perform their sexual acrobatics, you'll have to wait for the final two scenes before this sexfest really takes off. I mean, what's the point in having Lexi Eriksson, Montana Gunn and Sahara Sands adopt Swedish accents for their kiddie-pool strap-on tangle? (Gunn is the star of that scene, vibing herself to orgasmic heights.)
But would you believe it's the three-way between Shayla LaVeaux, Stephanie Swift and Ron Jeremy (?!) that really scores here? The gals, who show some great solo technique early in the scene, become the figments of Jeremy's imagination as he tries to have sex with two love dolls. Look for LaVeaux to rid Jeremy's cock cowgirl style as Swift sits on his face. Torrid! Then Sands redeems herself for less-than-interesting earlier action via a hot mish on the lawn with Brett Singer.

Why Top Gear's New 'Reasonably Priced' Car Is Way Off The Mark
A £17,000 Astra is now deemed "reasonably priced"? What was Top Gear thinking?
If you were watching Top Gear on Sunday night, it won't have escaped your notice that the new definition of 'reasonably priced' is a £17,000 Vauxhall Astra. Now some of us will recall that Top Gear's very first reasonably-priced car - the eminently reasonable Suzuki Liana - weighed in at a truly reasonable £9995. With 103bhp on tap from its 1.5-litre engine, the Liana honestly defined value-for-money. While special F1 guests are required to still use the Liana, its most famous moment came courtesy of Sir Michael Gambon and that corner...
Video 1
After three years, eight series and an Ellen MacArthur lap time of 1:46.7, the Suzuki was retired and replaced with yet more far Eastern reasonableness, in the form of the Chevrolet-badged Lacetti. Packing an extra punch over its predecessor, the 120hp 1.8 litre CDX Lacetti needed a new leaderboard to account for the extra pace.
21 Top Gear Moments From Series 20 Episode 1
Also priced around £10,000, the Lacetti survived four years and six seasons before meeting an untimely end underneath some collapsing cement works chimneys - but not before hosting petrolhead Jay Leno for a hoon:
Video 2
Coming in at £14,000, the Kia Cee'd that replaced the Lacetti may have seemed opulent at the time. Nevertheless, it was still 123hp and 105lbft of reasonable and Tom Cruise used it to good effect, out-Gamboning Gambon:
Video 3
Ironically, the switch to the Astra has come after Kia's shift of focus to compete with the establishment, allowing the timewarped Luton outfit the chance to shine with its lifetime warranty - which we suspect will be well-thumbed by the end of the season.
But £17,000 is far from the originally reasonable sum of money - so what else could TG have bought for the Stig's day job?

I would like to know all finite subgroups of $\operatorname{Aut}(\mathbb{P}^1)$.
I am aware that any automorphism of $\mathbb{P}^1$ is given by a Möbius transformation $$ z\mapsto\frac{az+b}{cz+d} $$ and thus there is an identification $$ \operatorname{Aut}(\mathbb{P}^1)\cong \operatorname{PSL}(2,\mathbb{C})\cong \operatorname{SO}(3, \mathbb{C}). $$ I thought this solved the question, but what I know is the classification of finite subgroups of real orthogonal group $\operatorname{SO}(3, \mathbb{R})$.

OK guys,
Here is my latest attempt at greatness..
It's a Glock 22. I didn't carry the texture up under the beavertail like I did with my XDm.
Also tried stippling the mag release on this one.
All in all, I'm satisfied. Less 'snaggy' (to clothing) than the sandpaper grips, but more aggressive than the factory 'bumps'.
Feedback is welcome
And a few more, just cause I want to show off my new 'shoohammer'

Question...don't those bumps fill up with sweat, dead skin, oil, dirt, carbon deposits over time? How do you clean all that filth out so it doesn't get nasty? I guess checkering would have the same problem, but to a much lesser degree than all those little caves.

Okay, I'll step up and say that although it's a fairly decent job, better than the other you posted, it still looks like a home project. Plus, all those little pores are going to fill up with gunk and grime from your hands unless you spend a lot of time scrubbing it after use.

A good point was made with the grip getting dirty. I only see it get dirty when I wear my CBST (combat cut) without a tee shirt. It does rub the skin. I use a toothbrush and Gunzilla. Wipe dry with a rag.

How Chefs Make Experimental Cooking Work in the Age of High-End Comfort Food
It's harder than ever to make ends meet in New York — and cutting-edge restaurants are adapting their approach as a result.
It's harder than ever to make ends meet in New York — and cutting-edge restaurants are adapting their approach as a result.
This is your last chance to eat Wylie Dufresne's beer-cheese burger.
Come September, the influential chef will be without a restaurant for the first time in 12 years.
Pinch pennies by getting up early, showing restraint, and eating your greens.
Over the last several months, newly refurbished tasting ateliers, discreet dining bars, and elaborately conceived chef's menus have been popping up with such frequency that it's hard to keep track of them all.
The 15-minute retrospective honors chef Wylie Dufresne's now-closed restaurant.
It kicks off on April 29.
He's launching "Test Kitchen Tuesdays" at Alder.
Quit binge-watching Netflix.
It's less fashionable summertime prop than versatile food wine, with the refreshing acidity of a white and a modicum of the rich fruit and tannic structure of a red.
They'll fortify you until the spring thaw.
Masa chips and pimenton chicharrones are included, naturally. And everything is sold to go.
He grinds shio kombu into the meat.
Fried-oyster breakfast tacos, pork burgers, and paella.
Wood-fired pancakes, meaty pastas, and hot booze.
Talk about going out with a bang.
Wylie Dufresne's pioneering restaurant is going out with a crazy modernist bang, or course, and not at all with a whimper.
Despite what Pete Wells says, there are many great mixed drinks.
The season is short. This is how you take advantage of it while you can.
The chef never strayed from his original plan for the restaurant, even as others suggested he should — and that's exactly why it's so worthy of celebration.

No current Talk conversations about this book.
This is an early novel by Atwood. The unnamed protagonist is grabbling with identity and Canada is grappling with national identify. The book was published in 1972. There is many references to the war and it felt like the references were to WWII and not Vietnam but it isn't clear. There is also a theme of aloneness. The protagonist never fit in, being raised in the wilderness without the amenities of civilization. She never connected with people. This is a trip back home with friends (married couple) and her lover. She is going to find her father who has been missing. The protagonist ends up submerging herself in madness. The book has also a strong feminism theme.
bought a few of her novels in Stratford, Ontario at the Shakespeare Festival Book Store - a great day
shelved in: Art Library - at: B70
A harrowing ride into the eye of the main character's psychotic mind. Not an easy read for me just because Atwood's character seems to slide in and out of reality a bit too easily for me. I suppose that's the point though, eh? Like the character, we find ourselves asking "what is real."
I enjoyed this book by Atwood a lot more than The Handmaid's Tale. The characters seemed very realistic to me and the plot had a lot of depth and leaves a lot for reflection. It also covered issues of environmental, political and national. I found it very entertaining but also very complex at the same time. I would classify it as a must read.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0385491050, Paperback)Part detective novel, part psychological thriller, Surfacing is the story of a talented woman artist who goes in search of her missing father on a remote island in northern Quebec. Setting out with her lover and another young couple, she soon finds herself captivated by the isolated setting, where a marriage begins to fall apart, violence and death lurk just beneath the surface, and sex becomes a catalyst for conflict and dangerous choices. Surfacing is a work permeated with an aura of suspense, complex with layered meanings, and written in brilliant, diamond-sharp prose. Here is a rich mine of ideas from an extraordinary writer about contemporary life and nature, families and marriage, and about women fragmented...and becoming whole.

A woman searching for her missing father travels with her lover and another couple to a remote island in northern Quebec, where they encounter violence and death.

Sacramento State has received the first $200,713 of a $780,449 grant to help members of the citys Hmong community receive better treatment for advanced cases of diabetes. The grant from the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities was announced by Congresswoman Doris Matsuis office.
After the Vietnam War, the Hmong who settled in the U.S. were not familiar with type 2 diabetes. This can lead to disproportionate rates among the Hmong of heart disease, kidney failure, loss of vision and damage to the peripheral nervous system, such as nerves in the feet or legs.
The grant will, among other things, provide for community healthcare workers to conduct home visits and help clients navigate the healthcare system and get proper services, Professor Dian Lorene Baker, project manager, said in a news release.
The project is a community-based participatory research partnership overseen by a community advisory board whose members are of Hmong descent and include healthcare workers and community leaders.
"I think its a wonderful opportunity for the Hmong community to do research and outreach within the community," Baker said in the release.
For information on the program, call Baker at 916-278-7243.

"Yandina...still a little bit country" Top 5 Page for this destination Yandina by wise23girl
Yandina Travel Guide: 34 reviews and 100 photos
If you just go a little bit up the road you can see the stars...but not by train...you will need to drive.
And you do not have to look up at the sky and hope .. If you take the Wappa Falls Road you will find the place...I will put details in a review Learn about the Night Sky.
If you do ever manage to get right away from civilization...somewhere on a large property or maybe the outback itself where there are no lights or cars or other distractionsthe view of the night sky is unbelievable
Once the main Bruce highway passed through the town of Yandina and as the traffic increased over the years on a Friday night it was almost impossible to go anywhere. With the construction of the Nambour bypass the town was able to settle back a little into its former country ways.
Oh you do not know where to find Yandina...well travel about 2 hours north of Brisbane, Queensland , Australia ...actually Yandina is part of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland..
Once many little towns such as Yandina were the centres for farming .Yandina still has heavy machinery outlets and rural supplies. Sugar Cane fields were everywhere but with the closing of the mill in Nambour the cane fields are disappearing. There are still a few cattle about and some produce grown. Ginger growing is still a major industry and Yandina is now the home of the Ginger Factory selling Buderim Ginger.....but with the problem of pythium disease this industry is under threat.
Did you enjoy Yandina....quite a lot to do. There was a chance to get a bit lost...you could have found yourself on Radar Hill or even Dunethin Rock...Well best to slip back to Woombye and see the murals...but only after after you have visited the pub in Yandina! Oh it is only 20 minutes back to Woombye....

Very enjoyable read Marg. Thank you.
I think we drove past the Ginger Factory on one of our hinterland drives when we had a week at Noosa. Nice country.
I think I would like visiting Yandina with its Market and Macadamia Nuts.
Yandina is certainly a ripper snorter!... Bonza mate !
A lovely little page. So you grow bananas and vegetables? Nice :)
Another interesting stop on your Mystery Tour. Great that there is even an observatory with telescopes and informative talks.
What a wonderful page full of Yandina history and things to do.
I have an entry in an old diary about the Ginger Factory.
Love the night sky tip.

quote: If Apple achieves that ambition, and I can see currently nothing that looks capable of stopping them
quote: Business Insider estimates that mobile advertising -- in 2017 -- will total less than $6 billion. Their focus is on the massive US market. Let's throw in the world and double that $6 billion to $12 billion.Now let's agree that their estimate is conservative. Boost it to $20 billion.Meaning, the entire global mobile advertising business will be *half* of just Google's 2012 revenues. And they will not capture all of these. Apple and iAds will capture their slice, as will Microsoft Bing. Some will go to companies like Foursquare and Twitter, or their progeny. Others will get a piece.But here's what the analysts continue to miss and which I continue to harp on: the mobile advertising business is **not** incremental. It is not supplemental. It is a **replacement**.More and more of what we do, what we search for, what we read, play, map, watch, surf, buy and sell takes place on the smartphone. It is where we connect with people, places and data.Not the desktop.Analysts -- and investors -- need to understand that desktop advertising revenues will not simply continue as mobile grows. Those desktop ad dollars are based on activity that will cease and/or transfer to the smartphone.There is a very real chance that Google, for example, a digital advertising company, can do everything right yet find itself with a radically smaller market five years from now.
quote: but nothing Apple is doing in the tablet market precludes anybody else competing fairly in that market.
quote: Apple shill to the rescue with a another book of a post....
quote: I know reading more than two sentences strains your brain, you have said so before
quote: I cannot see what force can stop Apple reaching a billion users in a couple or so years

The Butch-Stud group is a multi-cultural and inter-generational peer led weekly drop-in group for butches, studs, aggressives, bois, etc. It is intended as a space to support the identities of queer, masculine females who are gender non-conforming, and who are identified and centered in their female bodies. Through the exploration of issues and topics specific to butches, studs, aggressives, bois, dominants etc., our goal is to assist each other in the development of self-acceptance and a positive self-concept as gender non-conforming females, affirmation of our female bodies, strategies for dealing with discrimination, maintenance of our mental and physical health, empowering ourselves in the world, and liberation from limiting or destructive stereotypes about masculine females that we may have learned, or that have been imposed upon us because of our gender non-conforming presentation and identities.
I had a great time this last Monday and look forward to getting to know everyone a little more, sharing ideas, and enjoying more open conversation!

Confirmed: Geoff Johns Is the New President of DC Entertainment
Comic Books, Film, TV
I have a cold. I will now try to pass it on to our readers via the blog. Get sick and miss work!
Agents of Atlas #11- Great comic, greatest comic, or are you an asshole who doesn't read Agents of Atlas and deserves the contempt and scorn of your fellow man? Time to nut up and find out, girls! (Imagine Nick Fury saying this whole pitch, and you will grow a mustache. Two if you already have one.)
32. What? That was a random thought!
If I could marry Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2, I would. Even if that would be polygamy because I married MUA: Gold Edition a few years back in Vegas.
I mean, seriously, Cable calls Bishop on the phone in MUA2 and they argue over the registration act, both making the same point; "I'm from the future, so I'm right!" That is already better writing than everything Mark Millar's ever done or will do, even if he leaves comics behind and writes the great Scottish novel one day.
The great American Graphic Novel scares me like Barrack Obama scares Glenn Beck. Or bores me like Glenn Beck bores me. I dunno. I don't read too many art comics, and I don't feel too bad about that now that I ignore Dirk Deppey. Somehow, ADD became my Facebook friend. Maybe he can turn me around.
A friend of mine can not fathom that I don't care about Blackest Night. In other news, I have a friend now! Anyway, he got pissed when I'd giggle every time he would try to recap the plot. Eventually, it became involuntary.
Because I will say this everywhere that I can; Bobby Lashley is boring. BORRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING! BORRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING! He makes Goldberg look like Dean Malenko wearing Lou Thez's skin, possessed by the Rock's charisma. Or, for the unenlightened, he's a crappy pro wrestler who's got a match his employers expect people to pay money tomorrow, and for some reason, I am fixated on that. Also, he does MMA.
I'm not explaining what MMA is to Dan Bailey and other half centrarians here. I AM IN NO MOOD!
Does Joe Rice ever miss writing here? I miss missing him writing here.
If I could have cartoon sex with one comic character, it would be Maggie from Love and Rockets. 2, it would be Zatanna. Three, Wolverine. I wouldn't need to have sex with anyone else after him. Also, I'd probably get mutant VD so powerful I'd either become the Phoenix or spontaneously combust.
Firefox says combust isn't a word. I get the feeling only Firefox thinks Firefox is a word in the world of spellcheckers. I am a late adopter. Anyway, I hate hypocritical spell checkers. Which is why I hate most of our audience. Eat my typos with a spoon, frustrated English majors!
The following five wrestlers could also be Spider-Man villains:
1. Rhino
2. The VULTURE Squad
3. Sandman
4. Rey MYSTERIO
5. Bobby Lashley (Dr. Boringpants) (You can't prove that's not a real Spider-Man villain without doing more research than is necessary. Because no research is necessary. This is very circular.)
It occurred to me a long time ago that I no longer care about Daredevl. I'm still trying to come to terms with that.
No Sims link tonight. No one gets a link.
Not even Sean and Brandon for that great strip about why I can't be bothered to care about Daredevil.
Because, I mean, it's still on the main page, right? I can't be bothered to check, because I already had it tattooed to my back in case anyone ever asks me why I don't care about Daredevil anymore.
Tattooed has two ts? Who came up with that? Bobby Lashley?
Bobby Lashley is my Frank Stallone now, apparently.
This is Lashley, so I better hope he has a sense of humor or doesn't read all comic book blogs for mentions of his name, and know how to use Google maps, and Kevin Nash doesn't show him Jay and Silent Bob's movie I used to like, and they decide to reenact that because they are both bored with pro wrestling, and then they come to my house and assault me. Look, I realized that was implausible a few steps ago, but I had to see it through.
Is Abhay still doing his Dracula thing? If he is, you should probably go read that. It's much better than what I'm doing.
For real. Go. I won't blame you. Abhay is like a god unto me.
I made a shrine for him. I don't know what he looks like, so I just burned some issues of Secret Invasion in front of my Nathan Fillion shrine, but hey, it's the thought that counts, right?
If Abhay is Nathan Fillion, two things are apparent:
1. Fillion is the greatest actor of our time
2. He should have eaten Joss Whedon and written Firely himself. It would still be on today. On every channel. At the same time.
Yeah, I'm not sure I'm gonna make it through this common cold. Tell Chris Sims I loved her!
Curran out!
That reference; should I die for that, or just be tortured until I WISH I was dead? Apodaca, I bow to your judgment on punishment for lame references. I won't follow it, or even see it, but I respect it some cosmic way.
P.S.- Is Silver Surfer as Jeff Spicoli better or worse than Silver Surfer as Emo Space Jesus with no visible genitals? Show your work.
There's not much difference between Regular Curran and Over-'Quiled Curran.
I really want MUA2 but my gaming budget has been down to next to nothing…I have to rely upon Gamefly rentals. MUA2 is in my rental Q but I doubt that I'll get it anytime soon. I considered myself damn lucky that they got me the new Batman game right when it was released.
…Joe Rice doesn't write here anymore?
I think I might be haunted by his pressence. In maybe a good way?
I seriously did not realize he left.
I totally misspelled "presence." Safari's spell-checker seems to be on the fritz as well.
It's a conspiracy.
Get sick and miss work!
I'm on holidays, you sick bastard.
[…] Link: Randomer (Fever Enhanced) Thoughts! […]
No way would you get VD from Wolverine. Healing powers bitch.
Not to damn with faint praise, but this post is both more interesting, AND more coherent, than the entire run of Warren Ellis' "Do Anything" columns thus far. (Honest, I like Warren, but that particular column has just deteriorated into utter drivel.)
Tattooed has three Ts.
I agree, Nathan Fillion is pretty hot.
"I have a cold. I will now try to pass it on to our readers via the blog. Get sick and miss work!"
How about I break my foot and miss nearly 2 1/2 months of work?
Would THAT even work better for ya?
Sadly, I know what "MMA" stands for.
I also know what "zero IQ" stands for.
Agreed regarding Bobby Lashley.
I stopped caring about Daredevil when Bendis left and boring old Brubaker took over.
I don't even have enough interest in Blackest Night to bother hearing someone recap the plot. I know it's a Green Lantern thing plotted by Johns, which tells me all that I need to know. Mainly, that I don't care.
For a while there, I kept thinking, "Nevett kinda fell off on this one."
Over on CBR, there are many many positive comments along the lines of "this is actually almost as good as Blackest Night!" Ugh.
"Sadly, I know what "MMA" stands for.
I also know what "zero IQ" stands for."
Oh Dan. Is there anything you can't get crotchety about? You and Apodaca could probably take a show on the road. "Two Guys Who Fucking Hate Everything." I'd watch it.
Wait, no "Two Dans Who Collectively Hate Everything." More accurate.
>>Oh Dan. Is there anything you can't get crotchety about?
Amanda Conner. I'm utterly unable to achieve crotchetiness (crotchetude? crotchetacity? whatever) in any shape, form or fashion with regard to her art.
There are all sorts of other things that fall into that category, too — honest! — but since a new POWER GIRL is due out this week, that's what comes immediately to mind.

Osteoporosis-related fractures (low-trauma, fragility fractures) are associated with significant morbidity, mortality, and health care expenditure worldwide. In the absence of a defining fracture, the diagnosis of osteoporosis is based on the World Health Organization's T-score criteria using central dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Paradoxically, the majority of those patients who will sustain a low-trauma fracture do not meet the T-score definition of osteoporosis. Conversely, younger individuals with bone density in the osteoporotic range but no other risk factors have relatively low fracture rates and yet are frequently considered candidates for osteoporosis therapies. The limited accuracy of bone density testing alone to predict fractures has led to the development of a variety of fracture assessment tools that utilize the combination of bone density and clinical risk factors to improve the prediction of low-trauma fractures. These fracture assessment tools quantitatively predict the 10-year fracture probability of hip and major osteoporosis-related fractures, and can be used to define cost-effective intervention strategies for primary and secondary fracture prevention.

A true investigator cannot work without the correct tools. Our Sherlock Holmes Kit includes his smoking pipe and magnifying glass.

These accessories are ideal to complete a Sherlock Holmes costume. The pipe and magnifying glass are the correct style and good quality for the price. Regrettably, our first delivery was damaged and Jokers Masquerade responded with outstanding service. Sending a replacement set on next day delivery and providing a free returns label. I would highly recommend this company.

International Book Day and suddenly we needed a costume. Sherlock Holmes as the first choice but where to get a costume in time. Look no further than Jokers Masquerade. Saved the day.

The pipe is super sturdy and weighted nicely - and the magnifying glass is fantastic for actually using -Ii had no idea it would be this good of quality - and great price as well!!

The accessories in this kit appeared to be of reasonable quality once I opened them but during the night out the glass fell out of the magnifying glass & smashed all over the floor. It also arrived damaged.

Estimation of the parameters of life for Gompertz distribution using progressive first-failure censored data
Bayes and frequentist estimators are obtained for the two-parameter Gompertz distribution (GD), as well as the reliability and hazard rate functions, using progressive first-failure censoring plan. We have examined Bayes estimates under symmetric and asymmetric loss functions. We show that the Bayes estimates relative to asymmetric loss function includes the maximum likelihood estimate (MLE) and other Bayes estimates as special cases. This is done using the conjugate prior for the scale parameter and discrete prior for the shape parameter. It has been seen that the Bayes estimators are obtained in closed form. Also, based on this new censoring scheme, exact and approximate confidence intervals as well as exact confidence region for the parameters of GD are developed. A practical example using simulated data set was used for illustration. Finally, to assess the performance of the proposed estimators, numerical results using Monte Carlo simulation study were reported.
