From the crowded tenements of Edinburgh to the Female Factory nestling in the shadow of Mt Wellington, dozens of Scottish women convicts were exiled to Van Diemen's Land with their young children. This is a rich and evocative account of the lives of women at the bottom of society two hundred years ago. 'Her superb research and sympathetic reconstructions of nineteenth-century Scotland and Australia bring to life a long-forgotten but fascinating group of women.' - Siân Rees, author of The Floating Brothel. In the early nineteenth century, crofters and villagers streamed into the burgeoning cities of Scotland, and families splintered. Orphan girls, single mothers and women on their own all struggled to feed and clothe themselves. For some, petty theft became a part of life. Any woman deemed 'habite & repute a thief' might find herself before the High Court of Justiciary, tried for yet another minor theft and sentenced to transportation 'beyond Seas'. Lucy Frost memorably paints the portrait of a boatload of women and their children who arrived in Hobart in 1838. Instead of serving time in prison, the women were sent to work as unpaid servants in the houses of settlers. Feisty Scottish convicts, unaccustomed to bowing and scraping, often irritated their middle-class employers, who charged them with insolence, or refusing to work, or getting drunk. A stint in the female factory became their punishment. Many women survived the convict system and shaped their own lives once they were free. They married, had children and found a place in the community. Others, though, continued to be plagued by errors and disasters until death.

David Staffurth Stancliffe (born 1 October 1942)[1] is a retired Church of England bishop. He was Provost of Portsmouth Cathedral from 1982 to 1993, and the Bishop of Salisbury from 1993 to 2010. He is the third generation of his family to serve the ordained ministry.
Early life[edit]
The son of Michael Stancliffe, former Dean of Winchester, who was himself ordained at Salisbury Cathedral, Stancliffe was born in 1942 in Devizes, Wiltshire, where his father was curate of St James' Southbroom, later serving at Ramsbury and Cirencester before becoming Chaplain to Westminster School. It was from Westminster School that Stancliffe went to Trinity College, Oxford to study classics and philosophy and where he was Organ Scholar. He had a Master of Arts (MA Oxon) degree from Oxford.
While at university, Stancliffe abandoned thoughts of a musical career in favour of ordination and instead went to theological training at Cuddesdon College in October 1965.
Religious life[edit]
Ordained deacon in 1967 and priest the following year in the Diocese of Ripon, Stancliffe served as curate of the Leeds parish of St. Bartholomew's Armley. Three years later he returned to the West Country as Chaplain to Clifton College, Bristol.[2]
In 1977, Stancliffe was appointed a canon residentiary of Portsmouth Cathedral and the diocesan director of ordinands and, subsequently, the lay ministerial adviser. For a time he also undertook the role of precentor in a combination of duties which recognised his special interests in the areas of liturgy, church architecture and music, while also involving him in clergy formation and training and the work of the parishes in the diocese.
Stancliffe was appointed Provost of Portsmouth in 1982[3] and his major work from then until 1993 was the completion and reordering of Portsmouth Cathedral, shaping its life and work to fulfil its primary function of supporting the Bishop of Portsmouth in his ministry.
Alongside other duties in the Diocese of Portsmouth, he was Vice-Chairman of the Governors of Portsmouth Grammar School, a Governor of Chichester Theological College, a member of the governing bodies of the Southern Dioceses Ministerial Training Scheme and of Salisbury & Wells Theological College and he was Chairman of the Southern Regional Institute.
In July 1993, Stancliffe succeeded Colin James, Bishop of Winchester, as Chairman of the Church of England's Liturgical Commission, a position which he held until 2005. He has served on the commission since 1986. Work with the commission has involved the publication of The Promise of His Glory and the preparation and publication of the Common Worship liturgies. This significant contribution to the life of the Church of England was recognised by the award by Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury, of a Lambeth Doctorate in Divinity (DD) in 2004. Stancliffe has been a member of the Council for the Care of Churches.
Stancliffe was consecrated as the 77th Bishop of Salisbury at Westminster Abbey on 30 November 1993 and enthroned in Salisbury Cathedral on 9 December 1993. In June 2008, Stancliffe suffered a stroke[4] and while remaining Bishop of Salisbury took a leave of absence from episcopal duties. On 6 January 2010 he announced his intention to retire from the See of Salisbury.[5] His final act as bishop was the ordination of priests in Salisbury Cathedral at Petertide on 3 July 2010.[6] Although he officially retired as of 13 July 2010,[5] he continued in his duties at General Synod and completed his commitments as bishop and member of the House of Lords.
He is a Fellow of St Chad's College, Durham and is the President of Affirming Catholicism and Vice-President of the Royal School of Church Music.
Personal life[edit]
At Oxford he met Sarah Smith, a member of the same small choir. They were married in Westminster Abbey in July 1965.

ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia students performed worse on federal benchmarks than they did last year.
Data released by the state Wednesday show that just 72 percent of schools made "adequate yearly progress" this year, compared to 77 percent last year. The dip was expected after the benchmarks schools had to hit to pass muster were raised this year.
The percentage of elementary and middle schools meeting standards fell, while the number of high schools went up slightly from 40 to 41 percent.
The percentage of schools in "needs improvement" status also increased from 13 percent to 16 percent. A school must miss targets two years in a row to be considered "needs improvement."
Schools that miss benchmarks face sanctions and lose some federal funding.

my boyfriend has schizophrenia, sometimes he calls me names and and tell me he done with me, is this from the illnessREAD MORE
Hello teresa,
A person with SZ is a person first with his own quirks and traits and personality. It is possible that's the way your boyfriend is. On the other hand, people with schizophrenia can sometimes say and do things that hurt their loved ones and it's hard to know if it's because of the illness. I would hesitate to excuse behavior based on the possibility that it's caused by the SZ, when that behavior is abusive, threatening, or disrespectful. Some illness-related quirks you can handle and shrug off [like current poor grooming that may get better with time as the person begins to tend to his appearance]. Others you do not have to compromise on.
When it comes to being disrespected by someone with SZ, or by anyone who doesn't have SZ for that matter, you deserve better and have the right to state to that person what you expect in terms of acceptable behavior from them.
thanks for ur comment, im just at my wits end. i love tom so much, it hurts when he calls me names, hes abusive at times, i know i should just walk away before i really get hurt or end up dead. somestimes i dont think its SZ i think he might be bipolar. can u have both. please tell me how to get over him, we been together for 5 years/ AM I THE CRAZY ONE. i cant eat, sleep or do anything, i drive by his house all the time to make sure no other girl is there. CRAZY huh.READ MORE
July 23, 2009Health GuideJuly 23, 2009
What you have suggested you do [drive by his house to make sure no other girl is there] is unhealthy and possessive and insecure. You wrote just now that he's abusive at times. I will not tell you whether he can have both SZ and BP, because a person can have both illnesses.
What I will tell you is that you need to get out if at all he is abusive. I really can't say much more than that. I won't feed into any desire you may have to stay in a relationship where you've said abuse is taking place. If you are looking for me to tell you what to do, I can't give you advice. I can only give you a suggestion: start dating other guys. Or take a break from dating guys until you've recovered from this abuse and are clear on the behavior you will not accept from a future a boyfriend going forward.
Five years is a long enough time to have put up with this behavior. In the beginning, maybe it was easier to ignore any warning signs. Now it's different. He's laid his cards on the table for you to see. If it were me, I would get out.
ChristinaREAD MORE
Sometimes there are two sides to a story. People don't usually just come out with names or threats without a reason but if it is totally without a reason, it could be from sz. In a relationship there is sometimes an escalation of retaliatory actions as the saying goes, "all is fair in love and war". That is not to justify any actions taken but when one person steps beyond the bounds, the other often retaliates. In that case a name might not be so bad when it could be something worse but threatening to leave is a little extreme for a relationship. Name calling happens when a person feels helpless to do anything. Not to diminish the severity of the situation but perhaps you could be glad the person is not doing more. READ MORE

Jerry Mavillia, Lee Mertin, Brent Mason are theives that steal from HUD they falsify federal documentation which is the Property Condition Reports. They ask their sub contractors to do the same and when you dont. You will receive phone calls all hours of the night becuase of it as well as late & short Payment. AMS is not what they say they are.
If you are in the REO service industry I would suggest working for other National Firms such as MCS, FirstPreston, Regional REO, HomeSteps, CashforKeys, etc. We work for all of the following listed and they are very reputable companies that treat their subcontracts with respect and abide by the laws. To date AMS is past due on their invoices over 200days. Dont let the fool you be alert.

How do I know if I need Permalinks?
And if I do, does this determine how I link a page to a blog page through header.php?
I'm new at this...
How do I know if I need Permalinks?
And if I do, does this determine how I link a page to a blog page through header.php?
I'm new at this...
Permalinks are just the link or address or URL of your blog post.
If you make the structure easier to use, it will allow people to more easily link to your blog posts. When people link to your posts, or share them with friends, your blog will be more popular and may get better search engine ranking.
If you change the permalink structure, the link to a blog post will change. The structure of page links does not change, it remains "www.yourdomain.com/page-name"
Have a look at Using_Permalinks
Do I need to be concerned if in the header.php file for my Reflections - photo blog theme - for links I see:
<blockquote> <div id="navbar">
yet in the admin panel for word press, I create the page and give it a title for about (small letters)....
Would the php header file automatically see the about link and display the page; because by doing this way - I get HTTP 404 error.
Any help greatly appreciated....
Here are the page links in my header.php
So, your theme isn't the best if it's hardcoding pagenames...
But, if you're going to use that theme and not edit it, you'll definitely need to change your Permalinks to a non-default setting to get "pretty" page names.
Then, you'll need to create pages to match those links. Make sure the page's slug matches the names you see in those URLS above (mosaic, about, contact for instance).
Or get a theme that was designed to actually work with WordPress.
Or edit your theme to use wp_list_pages() which will dynamically build up a list of pages to match what you have, not what your theme author thought you should have.
Ok, many thanks HandySolo. I'm new at this, and not sure how to set Permalinks to a non-default setting to get 'pretty' page names...
This theme is Reflections - a photo blog made to use with Word Press 2.5.1 and the plug in of "Yet Another Photo Blog". Here is the link:
How do I edit the wp_list_pages() - is this in the header.php file that I add code for wp_list_pages()?
Any help greatly appreciated...
Privaetly, I can give you access to my admin panel if you like and give you my blog URL.
I'm new at this, and not sure how to set Permalinks to a non-default setting to get 'pretty' page names...
Well, I've given you the link on Using_Permalinks three times now... Could you give it a click?
After doing so: Are your permalinks set to the "Default" value or have you changed them? Knowing that would really be helpful.
Thank you HandySolo - never mind, I've figured it out - and am now using a different "theme" all together... many thanks for the link it explains it well.
This is RESOLVED.

Death (the death metal band of Chuck Schuldiner)
~ Group
The band was originally started as Mantas in 1983 and changed its name to Death a year later.
Death was an American death metal band from Orlando, Florida, founded in 1983 by guitarist and vocalist Chuck Schuldiner. Death is considered to be one of the most influential bands in heavy metal and a pioneering force in death metal. Its debut album, Scream Bloody Gore, has been widely regarded as the first death metal record, while the band's driving force, Chuck Schuldiner, is acknowledged as the originator of extreme metal. The band ceased to exist after Schuldiner died of brain cancer in December 2001, but remains an enduring metal brand.

Yes, thanks for the detailed feedback and good luck to you, too.
You've got a point when you talk about the concepts of "stress reliever" and "rare call option trade with a futures contract".
In the first case, I hope to use math exercises both as a stress reliever and something that will benefit me (I need to practice math, for my trading).
In the second case, this trade first of all has the purpose of keeping my mind busy, so I don't do anything else dangerous such as other reckless discretionary trades. From this point of view, even if it stayed low forever, and i made nothing, it would serve its purpose.
Furthermore, the concept of "option and future" gives the right idea, because this trade combines the advantages of futures (no time decay) with the advantages of options (limited loss). And yes, I also do think that it's a rare occasion, as I said in previous posts.

I'm still here
Today will be the end of my first month of automated trading and I am still here, without having blown out my account, and with a lot of profit actually. I've seen at first two very profitable weeks, then two slightly unprofitable weeks (automated-wise), but I am still here, and so let's celebrate with a song.

Weekly update is coming up. I did some statistics today, too:
AP Statistics Tutorial: Probability Distributions
It's getting tougher and tougher, but more interesting, too. Here's the last thing I read, which is almost "fascinating":
You know, the week is closing and I don't think I've made a single profitable trade this week. But they were all small losses. The beauty of automated trading. With my discretionary trading, I never would have been able to keep five losses all small. Even just one of them. It would have been just one huge loss, or no losses. Each loss to me, in discretionary trading mode, is a matter of life and death. Pride, and all that.

weekly update
Yup, I did lose 1000 dollars relative to last Friday.
It was ok. I suppose this is close to the worst blow I could expect and take: two losing weeks in a row, and a combined loss of over 3000. Luckily I started two weeks earlier. Otherwise now I would have gone from a capital of 4000 to... blowing out.
Of course, the previous week I did not lose 2000 because the CL_ID_05 was not enabled yet, and because I placed a discretionary trade that kept my margin used up and did not let the automated trades cause me losses, while it brought me a profit (after a nightmare that lasted two days, cfr. previous posts).
Ok, I guess I am done. I am hoping for some profit next week.
This is the way the equity line looks for the forward-tested period:
Now let's hope it doesn't start going down just when I trade it.
I can take another week like this, and even two of them, and more... but let's hope it doesn't happen.
But, most of all, let's celebrate once again the fact that today I close a whole month of trading without blowing out the account. Yes, I am still here.

problems with stat trek tutorial: fatigue, lack of understanding, boredom
After 4 months of non-stop math exercises (with an estimated total of about 10,000 problems solved: over 6000 just at khan academy), I managed to go over everything that I covered up to the end of highschool and managed to do it ten times better, and increase my knowledge in just about every area.
And I increased my confidence, which is just as important, because now when I see a formula I do not shy away from it. This changed attitude will enable further learning.
Studying probability, even before using it to read portfolio theory, has already greatly affected my portfolio decisions, with great benefits.
This was just great, and I am really satisfied with all this.
And I did all this to try and cover all the areas that will be needed in portfolio theory, so I'll finally be able to tackle a portfolio theory book, by Ralph Vince or by others. But now I have this big problem of finishing the stat trek tutorial, which is very heavy, and never seems to end. I have a decent understanding of the material up to half of it:
AP Statistics Tutorial: Attributes of Random Variables
It's going to be very challenging to finish it. I will just focus on it from now on, because it's the only thing I have left to read (according to my estimates) before being able to tackle a portfolio theory book.
This doesn't mean that I know everything I've covered by heart, and for example, in probability theory, there's much more I'd like to understand. But even in those areas where I have gaps, I know where to find those things I'll be missing, because I have a good understanding of the framework and overall structure.
So, I am saying that yes, I am satisfied with what i've done so far, but also that I am quite tired and discouraged by how boring and long this AP statistics tutorial is being. A lot of notions, memorization, formulas, and just a tiny bit of interesting insights.
The big issue of learning and understanding vs. memorizing consists of this: you're not reinventing the wheel and you can't do it. You're forced to somehow go faster than if you were reinventing the wheel, which would be the ideal way of proceeding, because you do not have 10 thousand years availabe to go into depth regarding everything. You can't say "hey, trigonometry is not clear, so I'm going to spend another 5 years on it, and i am going to tackle it from all points of view". It's just impossible, at least with the limited intelligence I have, to cover everything you need and understand it thoroughly. So in me there's a continuous fight between wanting to thoroughly understand something and wanting to move forward to cover what I need to cover. It's very frustrating and it's the cause why I was always a bad student, in that I wanted to stop on subjects (in every area) much longer than teachers would let me.
Only in this sense, I could say that school is useful (in every other aspect it sucks). It is useful inasmuch as it forces you to focus on quantity rather than quality. Because too much quality (and perfectionism) also damages quality itself (the more you cover, the more you'll understand something that previously you did not understand). School makes you understand from an early age that you just need to keep going forward, at a given pace. And I was always a rebel and refused this from an early age, so I mostly disliked school and school mostly disliked me. But now I am realizing that I need this ingredient of school (pace) and I am making myself be superficial and refraining from getting too deep into subjects and questions that arise along the way. You just cannot answer all those questions, or you won't be able to move forward as fast as you need, to accomplish what you need to accomplish.

Re: my journal 3
Holy cow, somehow i managed to pull through this boring lesson:
AP Statistics Tutorial: Attributes of Random Variables
The mother ****ing idiot 3-year-old child of the neighbours keeps running around his house, and all I hear is his ****ing little feet hitting the floor. He does this every day. May he be struck by lightning along with his whole family. I want them to disappear from the earth. Mother ****ing idiots.
No, I'll pump up the volume and play some warren g, let's see if they get the message. Animals. Idiots. ****ing morons.
Ok, it worked. Just 5 minutes of pretty loud warren g and some red hot chili peppers was enough to get the message through to the moron family. And the child is not running around any longer.
Then I suddenly stop playing it, to show them why I was playing it. I am not good at ringing on people's door and teaching them good manners, so I have to resort to these methods.
Dogs and idiot children are the same. You either take them outside to vent out their animal nature, or be prepared to some sort of complaints from the neighbours.
What the ****, man: you can't expect the neighbours to be ok with hearing your child running back and forth in the house as if he were at the track. If you do that, I'll play music as if I were at a dance club.
Of course these methods work because these neighbours are idiots but not gangsters. If they were gangsters I would have to change neighbourhood or put up with it. Otherwise this would probably cause an escalation in violence, and pretty soon i would lose. I must always make sure to be around civilized idiots at least. Best to be around civilized intelligent people, but it's never good to be around real human animals.
Now they're doing the childish stupid talk. The bitch and her son.
I am done with that AP Stats lesson, and I have 34 lessons to go, starting from this one:
AP Statistics: Combinations of Random Variables
I have about the same number of lessons behind me, but that's not too comforting, because it was very tiring.
I could do 2 lessons per day, which would mean that in about 3 weeks I could be done with everything. That is many boring days ahead of me... many boring days. The sooner I start, the better. Let's tackle this awful task, one line at a time.
I'm gonna quote it here. It makes it easier to do it. I quote as i go along. That's why I am keeping a journal to begin with. I show people my work, I show that I am working... it's like study hall. And i get help occasionally. But most of all, it's the feeling of working while someone (the reader) is checking on me. That's one of the biggest benefits from this journal.
Another benefit is people's feedback, but not the idiots, who just discourage me for no reason and without even knowing enough about me. That's why I had to enable the "only posts from contacts" option. I still feel observed and watched while I study, but I don't get bothered while I study.
So let's do that quoting of the lesson, so I can study out loud on the journal.
And I am afraid that I have another 34 pages of dense notions ahead of me. But this is better than nothing. I did not find anything better.
In the meanwhile, I am watching this:
Watch The Rose Tattoo online - on 1Channel | LetMeWatchThis
The Rose Tattoo 1955 - Stagevu: Your View
The Rose Tattoo quotes
Let's keep going with AP Stats:
Nope. I did not understand it this time. Probably the thing that i understood worst in the last 4 months of math. But this is mostly because they make no effort to explain anything, and take for granted that someone must have explained it to me before. But nonetheless I have to move forward, because right now it is not advantageous in terms of cost/benefit to stop here and to dwell on this.
Despite my perfectionistic nature, the best thing to do is to be superficial and move on to the next lesson:
Speed, and quantity, rather than quality. Yes, I must move on. The two things that matter and that are required are these:
1) I tried with a reasonable effort to understand it.
2) I am not quitting out of a fear of formulas and thinking to myself "I'll never figure this crap out".
As long as these two conditions hold true, I can move on and quit some topic I haven't understood.
Furthermore, I know the nature of this tutorial: it doesn't explain things, but just goes through notions after notions, and it's not like I will be missing some foundations that will keep me from going forward - provided that this failed lesson doesn't destroy my confidence, in which case my understanding would be decreased by insecurity, like in a self-fulfilling prophecy (you lose confidence, and then you don't understand it because you're afraid of not understanding it, and give up too quickly - a problem which i've had with math formulas until recently).
Oh, and The Rose Tattoo, despite the talents involved, kind of sucks. I mean, out of respect for the talents and legends involved, I should say "i didn't like it", but let's face it - if it had come out today at the movie theaters, I would say "it sucks". And yet Anna Magnani won the oscar for it.

Re: my journal 3
Nice archive of .pdf textbooks on all scientific subjects:
CK12.ORG - FlexBooks
Today Khan mentioned that website in a new exercise he created on the empirical rule:
Empirical rule | Khan Academy
Here's the wikipedia entry for the empirical rule (also known as 68-95-99.7 rule):
68-95-99.7 rule - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
And he did it again, on his 300th exercise he got me to quickly understand yet another thing that seemed complex to me: the normal distribution. Thanks, khan. I khan do it. Yes, we khan.
unsolved mysteries
Having said that khan is good at explaining things, and among them, normal distribution, there are still some things bothering me with regard to variance, standard deviation - which are the basis for normal distribution.
Variance of some numbers is the average of the squared deviations of those numbers from the mean. And this is clear.
Now, the standard deviation is the square root of variance. So standard deviation is the square root of... the average of the squared deviations. Now: since with standard deviation we take the square root, could we not cross out that "squared" and simply say that the standard deviation is the "average deviation"? Nope, because we are taking the square root of the average of the squared deviations, and not the square root of those individual squared deviations.
If we did that, we would come up with the average absolute deviation. And this is my first argument: it's much better to use the average absolute deviation instead of getting into this messy formula.
Indeed, the standard deviation and the average absolute deviation produce very similar values, and yet the first one is over-complex, whereas the second one is straight-forward:
1) standard deviation:
You take the deviations, you square them, you compute their average (variance). Then you take the square root of that value (standard deviation).
2) average absolute deviation:
You take the absolute deviations, you compute their average.
What gets skipped is the squaring and the square root, and why were these added? To get rid of the plus and minus values. What for? You can simply take the absolute distance from the mean, without this useless garbage.
Actually the recipe's ingredients are the same, but they get mixed in a different order - I'd dare call it "disorder". Indeed, the absolute value is nothing but doing the square and taking the square root, so the ingredients of standard deviation are the same as the ingredients for average absolute deviation.
Standard deviation: square the deviation, do the average, take the square root.
Average absolute deviation: square the deviation and take the square root (abs.value) and THEN do the average.
Maybe the guy who invented the standard deviation did not know that he could simply use the absolute value? He certainly was one retarded moron, and so were all those sheep who followed him.
Now: the consequence of all this crap is that, as standard deviation became so popular, 150 years of statistics were built on this crap, instead of the more effective average absolute deviation.
I am almost math illiterate but I can understand this much: there's something wrong and fishy in this standard deviation business.
The second mystery and second argument is this: to make matters even worse, these mother ****ers added the different way of calculating the sample variance and standard deviation vs the population variance and standard deviation. And this is crap, too, and it doesn't improve jack ****. It just makes things overcomplex and uselessly, and actually it produces damage to the clarity of someone's work. It's a whole mess, produced by a couple of famous people.
Ok, enough with complaining about these famous assholes making things overcomplex. Now I will try my tests on normal distribution, on an excel sheet, with the help of the rand() function.
Ok. It works perfectly (only thing: where the chart says "0", it means the value is within 1 standard deviation, and so on):
I verified both the normal distribution of average random numbers 0>=n<1, the empirical ruel, and the closeness of average absolute deviation to standard deviation. Cfr. attached file for details:
I've done it with my trades as well. I was curious to see if they had a normal distribution and the results were quite interesting.
Their distribution is less "normal" than with random numbers. Of course the bell shape is not perfectly simmetrical, or the systems would not be profitable. I think it is said to be (very slightly) skewed left (more trades to the right of the average profit, which is about 100).
Another interesting thing is that over 80% or results (not 68%) are within one standard deviation.
Here's the file with the details:

I am a khan academy millionaire!
Oh yes!
300 exercises out of 300 solved. With dozens of problems per exercise, which means thousands of problems answered.
And finally I made a million points!
I am more proud of this than of my real profit.
I am successfully overcoming my math limits and my worst fears and phobias! Yes, yes, yes!!!
And once again, a big thanks to salman khan for his beautiful work of art website!
Tomorrow I have another week. Let's hope it's a positive one. 33% of being negative, but also, 66% of being positive.

Re: my journal 3
Wow, pretty bad. Today, after a whole 7 years at this bank, I was supposed to get an automatic promotion, but I just logged in and I didn't get it. What the hell is going on? I was passed over also for the automatic promotion?
Let's hope to at least make some money from my trading. I need to get some gratification from something.
Dude... I am like the employee with the lowest salary in the entire bank... I make about 1200 euros per month.
That automatic promotion would have gotten an extra 50 euros per month, but it doesn't seem to have gone through. Maybe I am an exception? This makes me laugh. I am not even mad enough to go and inquire about it. I feel it's demeaning.
This should at least motivate me to do my best with my automated trading, and actually it does, and actually that's why I never tried to change it. Not that I don't work hard, but I never worried too much about my career. Of course I also thought I'd be out of here much sooner. It did not happen due to my money management mistakes, but also because I don't have much capital (I am relatively "poor" so to speak), which further encouraged money management mistakes (you try your best to increase your capital, and that makes you blow out your account).
But at least I am moving forward with my AP Stats course. I got here now:
AP Statistics Tutorial: Binomial Distribution
Actually it does motivate me: the reason I am so focused on my trading is that I am so ****ed with my career at the bank. But I never really counted on it. I've always been a failure as far as school, work and social recognition overall. I already know from the start that I will not be appreciated by whoever is the boss or professor. That's a rule. And this generally happens because I don't recognize their authority in any way. And I don't pretend I do. I don't kiss up, and all that. And I don't agree, and I don't pretend I do... you get my point.

I play keyboards -- Roland VR760, QSC powered speaker, full effects pedal board, Mackie mixer, bench, keyboard stand and a big rolling toolbox full of cords, mics, etc. For the easy load ins, no problem, takes me three trips. Some gigs those three trips can be really long. I bought this cart for such gigs, and it's worth its weight in gold. One trip. Let me say it again. One trip. Easy to use, steady, strong, light weight, easily configurable. Love it.

DARTMOUTH — A New Bedford man is charged with exposing himself to two juveniles inside Walmart — the second time he has been charged with this offense in the last month, according to police.
Wayne Michael Pina, 30, of 7 Spruce St. is charged with open and gross lewdness after his arrest on June 5, according to Detective Kyle Costa, public information officer of the Dartmouth Police Department.
Pina was arrested on May 10 when he exposed himself to a juvenile inside Kohl's Department Store, according to Costa.
The suspect's bail from the first incident was revoked after this latest matter and he is being held without bail at the Bristol County House of Correction, police said.

The Spencer County Lady Bears are still winless in district play following a 56-39 defeat on the road at Shelby County last Thursday.
The Lady Rockets used a strong second quarter to take a 31-17 lead into the locker room at half time and then maintained that lead in the second half for their second victory over the Lady Bears this season. Shelby County won the first match-up in December, by a score of 60-33.
Kentucky is one of the schools pursuing 6-9 junior Jarred Vanderbilt, who is only 16 years old and ranked as one of the top 10 recruits in the 2017 recruiting class.
"He's going to be really special at the next level," Victory Prep (Texas) coach Rodney McCray, a former Louisville and NBA star, said.
Newly fallen snow has a way of awakening the spirit of adventure in kids and grown-ups alike.
It's also nature's tattletale.
As such, a fresh blanket of snow opens a window to new discoveries by revealing which animals inhabit the landscape around us and how they use it during the winter months.
Animal tracking in the snow exercises the body and mind, and it can be fun for the entire family.
For the better part of two quarters, it looked as though the Spencer County Lady Bears might be on the verge of picking up a signature win as they led Anderson County 20-16 with six minutes left in the first half. However, Anderson County's long-range shooting spurred them to an 18-3 run to end the half, including a three-pointer at the buzzer to go up 34-23 at the break, on their way to a 74-47 victory in Taylorsville Thursday night.
"We were off to an excellent start and played well the entire game," said Lady Bears Coach Brandy Scott.
The Spencer County Bears dropped their fourth game in a row Thursday night, falling 71-51 on the road to North Bullitt.
The Eagles, 15-1 on the season, wasted no time in building an early 17-6 lead and padded that lead as the night went on as the Bears fell to 6-13 on the season.
Youth Soccer Sign-ups
The Spencer County Sports Association is accepting registrations for Recreational Spring Soccer for children age 2 to 18 now through January 25. Registration forms can be printed from their website, www.spencercountysoccer.com. Click on "Registration" then click on registration information and registration form.
Spring Basketball League
The Spencer County Lady Bears are a work in progress, the key word being progress.
Most of the minutes being logged for the girls are from players who are sophomores and freshmen. That means this young team is learning as they go.
What's impressed me about the team this year is how different players have stepped up and shown improvement.
The coldest temperatures since the last visit of the Polar Vortex late last winter dim prospects of hunting and fishing over the next week or so. During times of single-digit temperatures greeting you in the morning, a little planning of outdoor adventures for the coming year helps lift spirits during these darkest, coldest days of winter.
Kentuckians are lucky as our state offers bountiful outdoor opportunities for each month of the year. Here are some productive suggestions for each month of the upcoming year.
In front of a packed house at Lloyd G. Mullins Gymnasium, the Spencer Bears suffered a most agonizing defeat when they fell to Collins in the final seconds, 41-39 Friday night.
The Bears held a 32-23 lead in the opening seconds of the final quarter, but Collins then connected on three straight three-pointers from the corner to tie the game at 32-32 with a little more than four minutes remaining.
The lead then changed hands several times as the game came down to the stretch.
The Spencer County Lady Bears bounced back from a disappointing loss Friday night by besting North Oldham 50-43 Saturday at home. The victory snapped a five game losing streak for the Lady Bears, who improved to 7-10 on the season.
"The girls came out and battled all four quarters and played very well," said Coach Brandy Scott. "They had fun and played great team ball."
She cited the play of Abby Myers and Audrey Michels in the win.

Well done !
It's great seeing that blue bar isn't it !
Congrats. :)
Hanni has not mentioned it is validating for strict . Congratulations.
I got mine to validate. Once. Then I posted a couple of things and checked it again. I'm no expert, but all the new errors (and there are now a bunch) appear in code that was generated by WP.
So, for grins I validated some other sites. The results made me feel much better.
To my knowledge WP does not produce any invalid code at all.
See what I mean? I put in the codes, but they weren't interpreted as I had intended because of what I did incorrectly.
Nothing like making your own mistake to emphasize a point.
i use a plugin to stop wp from adding the p tags
Hi. I don't want WP to add ANY new tags that I didn't put in the code, Where can I find the plugin you speak of? Thanks in advance.
I was very excited when I first got it to validate- even though at the time I had no idea what it meant.
I've since achieved strict for all the pages

How to Gather Business Requirements
Four Parts:Starting the Business RequirementsDefining the ProjectDoing a Business Process AnalysisCreating the Final ResultsCommunity Q&A
Gathering business requirements means defining why a planned project is needed and how it will proceed. Essentially, it is a clear statement of purpose that can justify why the project is needed. The purpose of the business requirements is to help your organization achieve its goals more efficiently and with less expense.
Part 1
Starting the Business Requirements
1Analyze the issue. Prior to gathering business requirements, the company needs an issue to focus on. Once a problem is identified, the company, in turn, creates a product or project to solve the problem. The business requirements provide an outline of justification for the project.[1]
- That means that the company must continually gather data about its customers so that it can identify problems and so that it has data to provide justification for new projects. Once a new project is decided on, you can move on to gathering the business requirements.[2]
2Gather the team. Since business requirements focus on a particular project, you can hold meetings with the relevant people from the project. You may need to meet more than once to gather the information you need.
3Start with the problem statement.[3] The problem statement is essentially why you are starting the project. You saw a problem within the company or with your customers that needed to be addressed. Your problem statement should lay out exactly what the issue is.[4] The "problem" could also be a need your company sees or an opportunity.[5]
- In your team meeting, discuss what the problem is and who it is affecting. Make sure people at the meeting have numbers to back up the problem.
4Address all aspects of the problem. That is, the problem statement should cover what the problem is, of course, but it should also cover who it affects, where it is happening, and when it is happening. It should also address what the problem is affecting, besides people.[6]
- At your team meeting, address all of these questions, inviting feedback from the room, before drafting a statement.
- For example, your statement could be, "The company has seen a decline in sales due to customer dissatisfaction with recent innovations, and customers have expressed a desire to see the company return to classic products and designs. Customers across the United States have expressed this concern for the past year in forums and in the company's feedback form."
5Back the statement up with data. When writing your problem statement, you should have data to back up what you are saying. This data should come from the analysis you were doing prior to starting the project. Your numbers should show things such as how many customers the problem affects, how much it affects sales, and how long the problem has been occurring.[7]
- For example, you could add these lines to the previous statement: "The company has noticed a 15 percent decline in sales that coincides with the number of complaints. Complaints about new products have risen 25 percent this year over last year."
6Keep it concise. This statement does not need to be pages long. It can be a paragraph or two, as it just expresses the problem. In fact, the main part of the problem should be able to be expressed in a single sentence.[8]
7Brainstorm a solution. With the group, begin brainstorming a solution. Have someone write on a board or screen that's visible to everyone. Write down the problem statement at the top. Let people throw out ideas and write them on the board.[9]
- Make sure people arrive prepared; if you've already created the problem statement, they should have read it and thought about it on their own.[10]
- Don't judge ideas. As people throw out ideas, don't offer judgment, at least while brainstorming. People will be more hesitant to say things if they think they will be judged.[11]
- Encourage everyone to speak. If someone hasn't said something, call on that person to see if he or she has something to contribute.[12]
8Narrow down ideas. Once you've brainstormed, it's time to narrow down your solution. Discuss which of the solutions seem like the best one. Basically, you're going to decide what your company is going to do to solve the problem. Maybe you've decided you want to return to some of your original designs with some updates.[13]
9Provide a vision for your project. The counter to the problem statement is the vision statement. Now that you've come up with a solution, you just need to pull it together into a vision statement. Essentially, you are saying what would happen if you solve the problem.[14]
- For instance, your vision statement could be "As a company, we plan to return to our original vision by using our original designs with updates. Our customers will feel valued if we honor their feedback, and we will increase our sales."
Part 2
Defining the Project
1Define exactly what will need to happen. To bring about this project, you will need to define what exactly the company needs to do. For instance, in the example used previously, you would need to eventually halt new designs, examine old designs, introduce new innovations to old designs, produce the new designs, and roll out a new marketing plan.[15]
2Establish deliverables. Deliverables are what the company will need to finish at certain times. For instance, one deliverable could be having the product design finished. Another could be delivering so much of the product by a certain date.[16]
- For this part of the project, you also need to work with the heads of several departments to decide what is appropriate to demand for deliverables.
3Establish a timeline. This part is something else you could do in a small group or team. Essentially, you want to lay out when certain parts of the project will happen. Base your estimations on how long these types of project have taken in the past. That also means defining when the project will begin and when it will end.[17]
4Create a budget. Every project must have a budget. The budget will be based off of estimations with the accounting department. Discuss the numbers with the accounting department to determine what the budget for each part of the project will be.[18]
5Define the scope of the product or service. Develop a detailed description of what the product or service will be. You can work with the design team to come up with this description. It should include a definition of dimension and materials for a product.[19]
Part 3
Doing a Business Process Analysis
1Establish the process. The process for manufacturing products or providing services for your customers needs to be established. Obviously, the processes will be established by whole departments working together to come up with the solution. However, it's your job to define the process in the business requirements.[20]
- Work with the department to come up with a definition of the project.
2Create a process flow diagram. One way to show the process is to use a flow diagram. You use shapes for each step of the process with arrows to show how the product or service moves. It is essentially a map of how the process works. It can show where problems could arise with the process if it the product ends up bottlenecking in a certain area.[21]
- For instance, if one area can produce 40 of the products in one hour, but the next step in the process can only do 20 in an hour, then the process needs to be adjusted.
3Complete analysis before automation. Your process analysis shows how each step is going to affect another step. Therefore, the process for your project should not be automated until you've got a complete understanding of the process through an analysis.[22]
Part 4
Creating the Final Results
1Pull the information into a report. Once you have gathered the information for each part and written it up, you need to pull the whole thing together into one big report. Divide it into major sections and sub-sections, so it is easy to read. In addition, be sure to be as concise as possible, as many people will need to read this report.[23]
2Pass the document around. All the major stakeholders need to read the document. In addition, the project manager, the head of the company, and the heads of the major departments will need to read it. Ask if any revisions need to be made.[24]
3Conduct interviews. At this point, it's appropriate to conduct interviews with key stakeholders in the company. The key is to establish what they expect from the project. You can conduct interviews in groups or individually.[25]
- As they offer requirements, be sure to ask for the purpose of each requirement, as they may see the project differently from you or other people in your company.[26]
4Make needed revisions. If you need to make revisions, change the document. Once you have made revisions, you need to send it out again, making sure to highlight the differences so your readers don't need to read the whole document again.
5Get the go-ahead. Once everyone has agreed on the business requirements, have everyone provide the formal acceptance signatures. In other words, every major player in the project needs to sign it to show that she or he agrees with the terms of the business requirements.[27]
Community Q&A
- It's often useful to bring in a professional business analyst to accomplish this analysis. An outside professional isn't as close to your organization and will see things you miss.

It's beautifully designed, incredibly useful, and raised nearly $650,000 in Indiegogo funding from excited people who can't wait to get their hands on it. That obliterated the inventor's original goal of $25,000 by twenty-six times. And it's a device charger. Yes, really. But that's a little like calling your laptop a great big calculator.

Why Your Password is Never Secure (and what to do about it)
You have dozens (if not hundreds) of online accounts that have a password. While most people know 'abc123′ is a terrible password, and the tech-saavy know to use XKCD's method, what you should really know is that your password is weak, no matter how long and cryptic it is.

Just last October I started receiving e-mails and notices when I signed on to Photopoint about the new charges I'd have to pay to continue their services and also was told that if I didn't become a paying member in so many days, the photos I had on their site would be lost.
I felt that I had no choice so I paid my membership and it was not supposed to expire until November 2002. I've been off-line since the holidays and just tonight attempted to get back into Photopoint to retrieve a couple photos that I needed and couldn't get in....Then I noticed the Rip-Off Report. My, what a shock!! So now, what is the latest on this and are we going to get our pictures (and/or) money back?
I'm a retired grandmother and I'm certainly not in the position of being able to just throw my money to the wind plus many of the photos I have stored can not be replaced, including some of my dear mother who just passed away in July. I'm heartsick about this!!

MEREDITH, N.H. (AP) � Police say a New Hampshire man is charged with criminal threatening in a road rage incident.
Authorities say 50-year-old Richard Azzara showed a rifle to a man and the man's 9-year-old son after the two men were involved in a traffic incident last week.
Court records say Merrill was trying to go around Azzara's vehicle near an intersection when Azzara swerved in his direction.
WMUR-TV (bit.ly/SB5l9z) reports that the two men were shouting at each other from their vehicles when Azzara allegedly showed the weapon.
Court records say he admitting displaying the weapon and saying "don't make me put a bullet in it."
Azzara has been released on bail.

After 40 years in business, Bill Ethridge Lincoln-Mercury will be shutting its doors in coming weeks.
According to Billy Jack Ethridge, Ford Motor Company has decided not to have a Lincoln-Mercury dealer in the Meridian area.
This comes as Ford continues down-sizing its dealerships across the country.
The service department closed Friday. The dealership will be liquidating all automobile inventory over the next several weeks.
Ethridge said his family is proud to have served the community for four decades.
"I would like to say thank you to all the people who have allowed us to be a part of their families over the years," Ethridge said. "And we will miss it. We will miss it."
Vehicle owners who want to exercise warranties may visit any authorized Ford dealer.
