If Property 'Buyers are Liars' According to Members of a Debating Team, How Do You Know if They are Telling the Truth?
'Buyers are Liars' is the Topic of The Great Real Estate Debate Featuring a Line-up of Key Real Estate Industry Professionals Gathering Together and Having Fun at the Expense of Themselves.
Sydney, New South Wales – Are buyers liars?
If you're a real estate agent, property investor, or any other property professional and have an opinion on this matter you won't want to miss the fun at The Great Real Estate Debate to be held at the Vibe Hotel North Sydney on Monday 19th January 2015 from 6:00 PM to 9.00 PM.
This ground-breaking event offers the perfect opportunity for progressive people in the property industry to start the New Year with a thoughtful laugh or two. Whether you buy property, sell property, insure property, finance property, renovate, develop or just love property, this event is set to humorously challenge your thinking.
Are buyers liars? "That's the question we're asking Sydney" says Rachel Barnes, a successful international property investor, author, coach and CEO of Investor Friendly Agents who is hosting the event. "I'm looking forward to learning the answer myself when we get the two teams of real estate professionals together to debate the issue soon. I've specifically chosen people with a diverse range of skills, experience and personalities to make it a lively, fun debate. Then we'll let the audience decide which team wins and whether buyers are actually liars in New South Wales."
Several top industry professionals who are passionate about real estate will be involved in this one-of-a-kind fun debate including:
- Solicitor Tim O'Dwyer, who has frequently appeared on A Current Affair and Today Tonight, also writes a regular column for Australian Property Investor Magazine. This outspoken consumer advocate, often referred to as the "Contract Killer", heads up one of the teams.
- Kevin Lee who is often referred to as the 'go-to property guy' is heavily involved in the industry, not just as an adviser and buyer's agent, but also through his Smartline finance broking business. One wonders which team he'll represent when he's dealing with property buyers as well as loan applicants.
- Peter O'Malley, is an agent and recently the author book entitled 'Real Estate Uncovered',which is said to expose the tricks and traps that await consumers in the real estate world. It would seem he has a foot in both sides of the argument, so which team will he represent?
- Bernadette Janson is a straight out, straight forward, straight talking property investor who makes six figures annually through just one renovation a year. She has her own training business helping other investors at The School of Renovation and has been buying property for 20 years. Surely she will be on the team for the negative of this debate.
- Sally Costello is the Sydney representative of EBM Insurance Brokers, offering a product thatis used by thousands of property managers and tens of thousands of landlords. How will Ms Costello genuinely argue for either side of the debate without losing customers?
- Edwin Almeida is the licensee in charge of Just Think Real Estate and an active member of the REINSW Parramatta Hills. He has 25 years' experience in the Real Estate industry covering both sides of property transactions so can we believe anything he says during the debate?
In truth this will be a tongue- in-cheek debate designed by its hostess, Rachel Barnes, to break any and all the ice that is too often evident between agents, investors and other property professionals. This debate was initially a small add-on networking event to follow up on the training that Investor Friendly Agents provide. It seems however, that this fun event is fast becoming a stand-alone, unique networking experience that will be travelling across the States in 2015.
Everyone is welcome but seating is limited and bookings are essential, For more details about the event on 19th January 2015 go to the Investor Friendly website : http://investorfriendlyagents.com.au/events/event/the-great-debate-sydney/
Or to book directly go to Eventbrite : http://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/the-great-real-estate-debate-north-sydney-tickets-14248616997?

NetSpot is a free tool for discovering local wireless devices and creating colour-coded heatmaps.
Launch the program and it immediately detects all your local wifi devices, displaying their details in a table: SSID, BSSOD, Signal (current/ min/ max/ average), band, level, width, vendor, security, mode, and when it was last seen.
Clicking any column header sorts by that field. For example, clicking "Channel" groups devices by their channel, helping you spot competition and conflicts.
This isn't just about static figures. NetSpot displays tiny signal graphs within the table, and double-clicking any device shows graphs and tables of its signal over time, along with other interesting details (when and if the channel and security were last changed).
There's also a separate Survey mode which enables collecting and displaying wifi data on custom maps.
What's new in 126.96.36.1990 (see changelog for more):
- added free technician licenses with every PRO and Enterprise licenses
- added hidden SSID support [PRO, Enterprise]
- added configurable survey autosaving [PRO, Enterprise]
- improved starting of Active scans
- fixed activation of a trial license
- fixed A bunch of minor enhancements and fixes
A good-looking, powerful yet easy-to-use wifi discovery tool.

New Carrot Breed May Combine All Phytochemicals
New Carrot Breed May Combine All Phytochemicals
Carrot experts Dr Leonard Pike (l.)
and assistant Michael Faries (r.)
© Texas A&M University
Texas University agricultural researcher Dr. Leonard Pike eventually obtained some rare yellow carrot seed on a seed-collecting mission in Russia for his own planting trials and harvested the crop about a month ago. In a processing room at Texas A&M University recently, Pike's yellow yield were stacked up against maroon, red and improved orange carrots for strenuous tests to see which would make it to the next step in breeding.
"The interest is more than the colour," says Pike, known for developing popular products such as the 1015 onion and Beta Sweet maroon carrots. "Each of those colours indicates that a certain phytochemical is present. My goal is to get one carrot that has them all."
Phytochemicals are naturally occurring compounds that prevent disease. Pike hopes to pack lutein, carotene, anthocyanin and lycopene into one carrot, regardless of what colour - or colour combination - the carrot turns out to be. Each of those compounds has been shown to ward off various diseases and improve health.
Breeding a better carrot is important, he said, because adding value to something people already eat plenty of means they could be healthier. Americans eat more than five pounds of carrots a year, according to the USDA's Economic Research Service.
Deciding which carrots to keep in the breeding program is no small effort. Pike, research assistant Michael Faries and several students first washed the 250 bushels harvested from a South Texas field, sorted for conformity, tasted for flavour and finally sliced off a chunk to analyse for sugar and phytochemical content.
From that, some 80 bushels will planted by mid-April in selectively arranged cages designed around individual hives of honeybees to allow carrots to pollinate without crossing with unintended varieties.
The process will be narrowed next year, and with the luck of a good growing season, the super-carrots might show up in grocery stores in another year.

Onion and Herring Sandwich - Smorrebrod
Recipe by Dreamer in Ontario
From http://friendsofdenmark.org. Posted for ZWT6. To make smorrebrod, cut crusts from slices of pumpernickel or rye bread, but not French bread, when using them for a base. Be careful to spread soft butter entirely over the piece of bread you use. This keeps moist ingredients from seeping through and making the bread soggy. Ingredients should be artfully arranged. Sandwith will be eaten with a knife and fork.
Top Review by twissis
Made for the Goddesses of ZWT-9 & because I've loved herring since my childhood. DH is gone on a weekend fishing trip, so I scaled this lovely sammie down to a single serving for my lunch today. Altho made as written, I did alter the presentation slightly. I wanted my tomato on the bottom & the herring where it could be seen. I also used a spec Icelandic bread made for this type sandwich & others like it (Rugkjarnabraud), so what you see in the pic is as authentic as it gets & the taste as good as it gets as well. Thx for sharing this recipe w/us.

PUPILS at Rookwood's Prep School were joined by a chicken, a rat, a chinchilla and a tortoise recently as they launched their fund-raising activity for The Dogs Trust with Bring a Pet to School Day.
Among the many feathered and furry animals sharing Rookwood's grounds were a Chinese gecko, a corn snake, several guinea pigs…and two Shetland ponies – brought in by Finkley Down Farm.
Year 5 pupil Olivia Leonard brought her chicken to school.
Pupils plan to follow"Pet Day" with break-time sales of popcorn and hot chocolate as they try to beat their previous year's donation to support the largest canine welfare charity in the UK.
Head of junior science, Mr Colin Heath, said: "Pet Day provides a fantastic opportunity for children who own animals to share the experience with those who are unable to have pets of their own.
"The pupils are absolutely delighted to be supporting The Dogs Trust again."

" Good location, easy to find. Took a lot longer to check in than in other places we have stayed. The room was basic but clean. Not all of the toilet cubicals locked. The wifi was so so slow and disconnected frequently. The free breakfast is a good addition to any stay at a hostel. However, some of the food was below average and could be improved, its alright if you stick to toast and jam. Next time I would try another place instead. "- Anonimowy

The 2014 Fiat 500 is one of the most fuel-efficient non-electrified models on the U.S. market; but if you're accustomed to fuel-efficient small cars, it might not prove as miserly on fuel as you might think.
The most efficient model is the base 500 equipped with the five-speed manual transmission, earning an EPA-estimated 31 mpg city and 40 highway. The optional six-speed automatic drops those figures to 27 mpg and 34 mpg, respectively.
If you go for the 500 Abarth, you gain 60 horsepower and a turbocharger, but lose only a bit of efficiency: it rates 28/34 mpg.
Those are good figures, for the most part; but considering that mid-size hybrid sedans are beating this pint-sized mini at the pump, it's clear that there are some tradeoffs involved in keeping the price low and the driving attitude vivacious.


text: Thanks for the patches (and sorry for the late response). The patches are fine, though I am still missing a means to control which of spice channels are to be encrypted. Also missing is a way to set key/cert files and cipher suite per domain. (I aksed spice folks to avoid this problem by using reasonable defaults). More of a problem is the need to set/reset spice "ticket" (one time password), or at least disable it completely on the command line (with ,disable-ticketing).

Bears coach John Fox's trademark phrase is "understate and overproduce." Expect Chicago to improve, but a tricky opening three weeks of the schedule against Green Bay, Arizona and Seattle does not look promising for a club in rebuild mode after a horrible 5-11 effort in 2014. Still, we see an improvement to 7-9 in 2015. (All times Eastern.)
Week 1: Sunday, Sept. 13, Green Bay, 1 p.m.
The Bears draw the unlucky assignment of hosting the reigning NFC North champs in Week 1. Aaron Rodgers is 12-3 lifetime against the Bears. Jay Cutler is 1-11 versus the Pack. What else needs to be said? Packers 24, Bears 17. Record 0-1
Week 2: Sunday, Sept. 20, Arizona, 1 p.m.
Surprise. Bears squeak out a victory against a feisty Cardinals team led by enigmatic coach Bruce Arians. Chicago fans no longer scorn the day former general manager Phil Emery hired Marc Trestman over Arians. Bears 27, Cardinals 26. Record 1-1
Week 3: Sunday, Sept. 27, at Seattle 4:25 p.m.
Seattle is the toughest road venue in the NFL. Too much too soon for the rebuilding Bears. Seahawks 34, Bears 17. Record 1-2.
Week 4: Sunday, Oct. 1, Oakland, 1 p.m.
Bears pound the NFL's perennial doormat. Closing out the first quarter of the season at .500 gives the Bears faithful reason to celebrate. Bears 30, Raiders 10. Record 2-2
Week 5: Sunday, Oct. 11, at Kansas City, 1 p.m.
The Bears' first trip to Arrowhead since 2003 ends in a close defeat. Don't be surprised if a Dave Toub trick on special teams seals the victory for KC. Chiefs 21, Bears 20. Record 2-3.
Week 6: Sunday, Oct. 18, at Detroit, 1 p.m.
Ford Field has been unkind to the Bears lately. The Lions figure to once again be competitive in the NFC North after going 11-5 in Jim Caldwell's first year. Lions 34, Bears 20. Record 2-4
Week 7: Bye Week – Record 2-4
Week 8: Sunday, Nov. 1, Minnesota, 1 p.m.
Minnesota is on the rise, but Chicago finds a way to save its season. A split of the season series seems like a probable scenario. Bears 21, Vikings 17. Record 3-4
Week 9: Monday, Nov. 9, at San Diego, 8:30 p.m.
The Bears' lone appearance on Monday Night Football ends in a surprise victory. The Chargers don't seem as formidable with their quarterback situation in flux. Bears 30, San Diego 27. Record 4-4
Week 10: Sunday, Nov. 15, at St. Louis, 1 p.m.
Letdown city. Bears fall victim to the old trap game and get caught looking ahead to Denver and Green Bay. Rams 28, Bears 19. Record 4-5
Week 11: Sunday, Nov. 22, Denver, 1 p.m.
Bears can't keep pace with Denver in a rematch game for John Fox and offensive coordinator Adam Gase. Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning proves there is still magic left in that arm. Broncos 40, Bears 30. Record 4-6
Week 12: Thursday, Nov. 26, at Green Bay, 8:30 p.m.
Nothing good ever happens when Brett Favre is in the stadium. Favre's number-retirement ceremony gives Thanksgiving night some extra juice, as if the Packers needed it. Packers 35, Bears 10. Record 4-7
Week 13: Sunday, Dec. 6, San Francisco, 1 p.m.
These aren't Jim Harbaugh's 49ers. Bears defensive coordinator Vic Fangio knows all of Colin Kaepernick's secrets. Bears 28, 49ers 16. Record 5-7
Week 14: Sunday, Dec. 13, Washington, 1 p.m.
You think Chicago's quarterback situation is a mess? Wait until the Redskins come to Soldier Field. Bears 30, Redskins 7. Record 6-7
Week 15: Sunday, Dec. 20, at Minnesota. 1 p.m.
Teddy Bridgewater avenges the earlier loss. Bad stuff tends to happen whenever the Bears are in Minnesota. Vikings 25, Bears 21. Record 6-8
Week 16: Sunday, Dec. 27, at Tampa Bay, 1 p.m.
Doesn't matter if Jameis Winston or Josh McCown is the quarterback -- the Bucs aren't expected to be very good. Lovie Smith falls to 0-2 vs. his old team. Bears 27, Bucs 14. Record 7-8
Week 17: Sunday, Jan. 3, Detroit, 1 p.m.
In a game filled with playoff implications of the Lions, the Bears are worn down in the fourth quarter. But the arrow is pointing up heading into 2016. Lions 17, Bears 13. Record 7-9

Debemur Morti Productions
Wallachia - Carpathia Symphonia LP
Released by Debemur Morti. More info from the label:
This short and precious release sounds like the noble echo of a time gone by. Indeed, "Carpathia Symphonia" is a sublime celebration of the golden age of Norwegian Black Metal. Remember, this legendary and inspired combination of majestic atmospheres, unforgettable and timeless melodies, the whole thing magically wrapped in this so-specific and unique feeling... incredibly pure.
Composed of an exclusive new song, "Mother Tongue of Heresy", along with totally re-arranged versions of the old ambient/acoustic song, "Arges - Raul Doamnei", and the classic WALLACHIA hymn "Fullmoon above Fagaras", "Carpathia Symphonia" presents WALLACHIA in its purest form: symphonic, raw and pagan. A nostalgic and imperial return to the roots. Simply fantastic.

MEPs on Monday welcomed recent Turkish constitutional reforms, describing them as a step forward, while stressing that much remains to be done to ensure full respect for human rights. The biggest concerns discussed at a public hearing in Parliament were the lack of press freedom, the imprisonment of conscientious objectors and the situation of the Kurdish minority.
Members of the Human Rights Subcommittee held an exchange of views with NGO representatives and the Turkish permanent ambassador to the EU ahead of the publication on 9 November of the European Commission's progress report on Turkey's accession negotiations. The Commission representative at the hearing said "the situation has changed for the better in the last 12 years but there continue to be systematic failures to comply with human rights and the political criteria for accession".
Constitutional changes
The chair of the EP Delegation to Turkey, Helene Flautre (Greens/EFA, FR), welcomed the fact that the new constitutional reform in Turkey was so widely endorsed by society but stressed that amending the existing legal framework could not be the definitive solution. "I would very much support a totally new constitution process, different from the current text, which is anyway the outcome of a coup d'état", she said.
She was endorsed by the EP rapporteur on Turkey, Ria Oomen-Ruijten (EPP, NL), who also stressed the continuous threat to press freedom. "Penal law is still used to prosecute journalists and more than 6000 websites have been closed down. This doesn't fit with the modern society Turkey wants to become", she said.
Torture by police forces
"Amnesty International is constantly receiving credible allegations of torture and ill-treatment of detainees from prisons, from police detention facilities or even at peaceful demonstrations", said Amnesty representative Andrew Gardner. Hélène Flautre added that the main problem was impunity: over 400 government staff had been accused of ill treatment but none of these cases had resulted in convictions.
Conscientious objection to military service
"The military forces continue to play an important role, which is incompatible with a modern state" said Ana Gomes (PES, PT), referring to the fact that objection to military service is banned in Turkey and conscientious objectors still face repeated criminal sanctions. "The European Convention of Fundamental Rights does not include such a right", responded Ambassador Selim Kuneralp, Turkey's permanent delegate to the EU.
In response to MEPs' concerns about Kurdish minority rights, Mr Kuneralp explained that, thanks to a new law on the use of broadcasting languages which had removed existing restrictions, five local TV and ten local radio stations had now received licences to broadcast in Kurdish.

My boyfriend of 4 years lives with me. He's 38. Recently my 22 year old daughter came home to live. Previously she and my boyfriend hadn't had much contact. He's shy and quiet, so I was surprised how quickly he took to my daughter. They laugh and joke in ways he's never done with me. With me he's always been rather dour. He swears around her, yet he's always told me he didn't like swearing. They are both sexually suggestive...he once told her in my hearing that he was going to play with his "hose" when he went out to water the garden. They both laughed. When I told him after that I hadn't liked it, he told me he hadn't meant anything suggestive. Was that suggestive or is it just me? They talk like that all the time. She's a pretty girl and I catch him checking her out though he denies it. I've asked her not to dress scantily around the house but she still does. The other day her skirt had slipped and she was showing most of her behind. I had to ask her to cover up. She sunbaths topless when he's around and makes a weak show of covering up. My boyfriend is rather proud of his flat belly. And I've noticed recently that when he's talking to her, he will lift his top and stroke his belly for ages. Then leave his top pulled up and continue chatting with her with his belly on show. Why? The other day I noticed him staring intently at something in the bathroom. I took a peek after he left the room and he had been staring at a pair of my daughters panties she had left on top of her dirty laundry bin. It gave me a bad feeling because it was the same look he has on his face when he's zoned out staring at women. The following evening I placed a pair of panties in the top of the my daughters laundry bin and after he had showered, I went in the bathroom and checked the panties. He had moved them. I confronted him and asked why he was handling my daughters dirty underwear. At first he denied it. Then he said he had only handled them to tidy them up. I scoffed at him and said the panties had been fine the way they were, ie tucked in her bin with just a scrap of lace showing. He got defensive and said fine, if I was going to be ungrateful like that, he wouldn't help me to keep the house tidy anymore, I could do it all myself from now on. That got to me a bit because I don't get much help here from either of them anyway. I do just about everything. He's behaving very relaxed about my accusation and is carrying on as if I hadn't mentioned anything. I don't know whether to believe him or not about the panties but it has worried me. I've spoken to my daughter and asked her to keep her underwear tucked away. I just said id seen him staring at it and I thought it was odd of him. She's told me she thinks he's fine and not odd at all, I'm just paranoid. I'm not sure what to think. Am I being paranoid? She's still leaving her panties on top of her washing in plain view. I don't know what to think. Is it me? Am I missing something?
Most Helpful Girl
No I don't think you are missing anything at all and I think you know the answer to this situation its just a very hard step to take.
You don't talk much about the state of your relationship with this guy but I am guessing it's not great at the moment . I think you need to decide what YOU want out of this. If you really feel the relationship is worth saving then make a time ( maybe away from the house and certainly away from the chnace of your daughter interrupting) and talk to him - telling him everything you have said here. If his reaction is to brush it off or to refuse to discuss it then you need to decide how much you are willing to put up with and for how long.
Ultimately you need to decide what your boundaries are and then let him know in no uncertain terms what they are and the consequences of breaching them - he needs to know he cannot ride rough shod over your feelings without consequences. He needs to understand that this is not just any "hot chick" but your daughter and that there are a whole different set of rules around that relationship on top of your regular expectations of how he should behave with other women.
You also need to address your daughters behaviour. She is now an adult living in your home and she needs to understand that you expect a certain standard of behavior from her. Again define your boundaries and let her know the consequences of breaking them If she continues to dress and behave inappropriately she needs to know that she is in danger of not just damaging her relationship with you but also losing the roof over her head. She's not a kid and just like any other "roommate" it is reasonable for you to discuss the boundaries for living together ( that includes chores too - she lost the right to maid service when she hit adulthood)
Remember YOu have rights too - the right to feel comfortabel in your own home. The right to feel loved and respected by your partner and your daughter and the right to voice your opinion when you feel unhappy. If either of them won't chnage their behavior to accommodate your feelings then remember you have another right too - the right to ask them to leave.31|20|1
I would be frank with him and ask did her panties turn him on. It may answer your question and you can address that she's your daughter and off limits then.

Are there regimes of antitrust enforcement? An empirical analysis
In this paper, the authors propose a new index of antitrust enforcement. The index is compiled from quarterly data from the Department of Justice from 1890 to 1989 and is designed to reflect the relative influence of variables that have deterrent effects. The authors use Hamilton's (1989, 1990) regime-switching technique to estimate a model in which the enforcement index follows a regime-specific AR(1) process. The authors find evidence of long-lived regimes. The high enforcement regime, which lasted from about 1910 to the mid-1960s, produced enforcement that was, on average, almost twice as high as the low enforcement regime. In particular, the Reagan years were not a time of transition to low antitrust enforcement, as is commonly claimed. Rather, the transition to a low enforcement regime had taken place some 15 years earlier.

Omnicom Group Inc. (OMC) will report its fourth-quarter and FY11 earnings on Tuesday, February 14, 2012.
The current Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings per share (:EPS) is 95 cents, representing an annualized growth rate of 13.99%.
With respect to earnings surprises, over the trailing four quarters, OMC outperformed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in all the quarters. The average earnings surprise was 6.66%, implying that the company outperformed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by the same magnitude over the last four quarters.
Third-Quarter Highlights
On October 18, Omnicom Group posted decent operating results for the third quarter of 2011.
Omnicom's net income in the quarter grew 16.7% year over year to $203.7 million from $174.6 million in the third quarter of 2010. Earnings per share (:EPS) expanded by 26.3% from 57 cents in the year-ago quarter to 72 cents in the reported quarter. EPS also beats the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 70 cents.
Total revenue was $3,380.9 million, up 12.9% year over year from $2,994.6 million in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. Revenue surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3,293.0 million. Domestic and International revenue rose 5.3% and 21.8% to reach $1,703.2 million and $1,677.7 million, respectively.
Agreement of Estimate Revisions
In the last 30 days, one analyst increased the company's earnings per share (:EPS) estimate for the fourth quarter of 2011 while three analysts decreased the same for the quarter. However, for fiscal 2011, one analyst raised its estimate while two decreased the same. For fiscal 2012, two analysts increased estimate in the last 30 days, while 3 decreased the same.
Magnitude of Estimate Revisions
Estimates over the last 30 days remained static at 95 cents for the fourth quarter of 2011, representing a year-over-year growth of 13.99%.
Estimate for fiscal 2011 remained static at $3.30 over the last 30 days. For fiscal 2012, the average remained static at $3.65, as the positive and negative movements of the analyst estimates had an offsetting effect on each other over the last 30 days. These estimates represented a year-over-year growth of 22.35% for 2011 and 10.42% for 2012.
Recently, Omnicom Group Inc. announced the increase of the company's quarterly cash dividend by 20%, raising it from 25 cents to 30 cents per outstanding share of the company's common stock.
The company's board has declared a dividend of 30 cents per share, which is payable on April 2, 2012 to Omnicom Group common shareholders of record at the close of business as of March 5, 2012.
Our Take
Omnicom is likely to foresee revenue growth, on the backdrop of improving US and international ad market, fueled by rising consumer spending. Moreover, the company's customized, cost effective business mix alongside acquisitions and client base expansion appear favorable.
Omnicom is one of the largest advertising, marketing and corporate communications companies in the world extending customized mix of traditional media advertising; customer relationship management (:CRM), public relations (:PR), and specialty communications services in all the major markets across the globe. It directly competes with its peers, such as The Interpublic Group of Companies Inc. (NYSE:IPG - News), Publicis Groupe SA (PUBGY.PK) and WPP plc (WPPGY).
We currently maintain a long-term Neutral recommendation on the stock. The company has a Zacks #3 Rank, which translates into a short-term Hold rating (1-3 months).

Question: The human resources manager of a large chemical plant was
The human resources manager of a large chemical plant was interested in determining what factors might be related to the number of non-vacation days that workers were absent during the past year. One of the factors that the manager considered was the distance that the person commutes to work, wondering if longer commutes resulting in such things as stress on the worker and/or increases in the likelihood of transportation failure might result in more worker absences. The manager studied company records, randomly selected 532 plant workers and recorded the number of non-vacation days that the workers were absent last year and how far their place of residence is from the plant. The manager then recoded the raw data in categories and created the cross-tabulation table just shown. Study the table and comment on any relationship that may exist between distance to the plant and number ofabsences.

The child of a smuggling ship's a cleaning crew member, Kara has rarely lived long on any planets. Her father is (at present) unknown, and she followed in her mother's crews' footsteps of piracy. Despite ocassionally having a crew, she usually worked by herself, tricking other ships into docking with hers. She managed this by claiming she was low on supplies and/or fuel. As a result, while she was considered minor by most authorities, there is a meagre bounty of around 900 standard creditial units on her being captured alive. She at present is using an unnamed shuttle from the Radiant Dawn.
She commonly can be found in space, correction: she -could- until her ship crashed for (for now) unknown reasons.
She is a humanoid female with dark hair. Her own attitude is very gritty.

A Movie Log

A blog formerly known as
By Charles Matthews

Metropolis (Fritz Lang, 1927)
strikes me as the most balletic movie ever made. I'm not referring just to Brigitte Helm's fabulous hoochie-coochie as the False Maria, which so thrills the goggling, slavering gentlemen of Metropolis, but to the fact that as one of the great silent films it brilliantly substitutes movement for the speech and song the medium denies it. In addition to Helm's terrific performance as both Marias, we also have Gustav Fröhlich's wildly over-the-top Freder, who flings himself frenziedly about the sets. We may find the performance laughable today, but it's best to watch the film with the understanding that subtlety just wouldn't work in Fritz Lang's fever-dream of a city. Certainly that's also true of the always emotive Rudolf Klein-Rogge, whose Rotwang is pretty much indistinguishable from his Dr. Mabuse. But even the stillest of the characters in the film -- Alfred Abel's Joh Frederson, Fritz Rasp's superbly creepy Thin Man -- are there to provide a sinister contrast to the hyperactivity going on around them. And then there are the crowds, a corps de ballet if ever there was one, whether stiffly marching to and from their jobs, or celebrating the fall of the Heart Machine with a riotous ring-around-the-rosy. There are times when Lang's manipulation of crowds reminds me of Busby Berkeley's. Lang's choreographic approach to the film is essential to its success as a portrayal of the subsuming of the human into the mechanical. Is there a more brilliant depiction of the alienation of work than that of the man who must shift the hands around a gigantic clock face to keep up with randomly illuminated light bulbs?
is usually cited as a triumph of design, and it probably wouldn't have the hold over us that it does without the sets of Otto Hunte, Erich Kettelhut, and Karl Vollbrecht, whose influence over our visions of the future seems indelible. Would we have the decor of the
Star Wars
movies or any of today's superhero epics without their work? There are those who would argue that the film is long on visual excitement but short on intellectual content -- the moral banality, that the Heart must mediate between the Head and the Hand, hardly seems to suffice as a justification for the film's
Sturm und Drang
-- which weakens its reputation as a masterpiece. But that seems to me to ask more of movies than they were ever designed to provide. So much in
reverberates with history -- from the French Revolution to the Bolsheviks to the Nazis -- that it's a film we can never get out of our heads, and probably shouldn't.

The medical profession has recognized the healthful and nutritional properties of wine for thousands of years. Hippocrates recommended specific wines to purge fever, disinfect and dress wounds, and for nutritional supplements, around 450 BC. Most of the pathogens that threaten humans are inhibited or killed off by the acids and alcohol in wine. Because of this, wine was considered to be a safer drink than water up until the 18th century.
Wine is a mild natural tranquilizer, serving to reduce anxiety. As part of a normal healthy diet, wine provides the body with energy, substances that aid digestion, and with small amounts of minerals and vitamins.
Wine is a mild natural tranquilizer, serving to reduce anxiety. As part of a normal healthy diet, wine provides the body with energy, substances that aid digestion, and with small amounts of minerals and vitamins.
Moderate consumption of red wine on a regular basis may be a preventative against coronary disease and some forms of cancer. The chemical components thought to be responsible are catechins, related to tannins. Catechins are believed to function as anti-oxidants, preventing molecules known as 'free-radicals' from doing cellular damage.
There are also compounds in red grapes called resveratrol. Clinical evidence and laboratory studies have shown these may boost the immune system, block cancer formation, and possibly protect against heart disease and even prolong life.
In 2004 - American Journal of Physiology, indicates that resveratrol also inhibits formation of a protein that produces a condition called cardio fibrosis, which reduces the heart's pumping efficiency when it is needed most, at times of stress. More evidence suggests that wine dilates the small blood vessels and helps to prevent angina and clotting. The alcohol in wine additionally helps balance cholesterol towards the good.
Research is ongoing and it is a mistake for anyone to radically change their wine consumption. Drinking wine in moderation with a meal is recommended, plus in conjunction with a well balanced diet, with water and good exercise. Some people are very sensitive to wine, so please consult with your doctor to ensure you have no symptoms that could cause negative effects.

It is natural to think that in perceiving dynamic scenes, vision takes a series of snapshots. Motion perception can ensue when the snapshots are different.
