[ai-geostats] Hugly reality
Expand Messages
- Dear Geostat
I'm a beginner and I had the unliky case of a tridimensional multivariate geochemical dataset to start my geostatistical adventure...moreover data are taken from sediment samples of a high polluted port and present a high variability...
My question is:
histogram of variables doesn't reveal nor a gaussian distribution neither a lognormal one, that is that variables are not well distributed on any of these distributions...do I have to force to find some distribution that could well represent my data? The condition based on the fact that Kriging performs well on gaussian variables is so constraining? Or maybe the main thing is the shape of variogram?...Do I have to try to lay variables back to gaussian shape or I can direct my strengths on studying and modelling variogram?...And if so, if variogram are unbounded, do I have to consider variables in a non stationary framework or it's possible that such a bad distribution could false the shape of the variogram? (For example for log transformed variable, even if histogram do not get better, some variograms are better shaped and not so unbounded)...
I know I'm confused but I need some practical suggests to come from all this good and perfect theory to my hugly reality...

Can I change the (long, long) UUID of a USB flash drive to something short?
I prefer to work in the CLI as much as practical, and a long name for a drive is cumbersome. Is there a way to replace the UUID of a USB thumb drive? Maybe something like an alias for a bash command?? Yes, I've tried things that seemed likely, but no joy. TIA!
is that because the USB key gets mounted everytime on /media/{very_long_UUID} directory?
In That case just set up the mountpoint you want in fstab.
Thanks; I had wondered about that approach, so I'll run some trials. There is some concern about what happens when I replace one USB drive with another; ideally, I'd like to be able to rename each drive so it identifies itself by that new name, no matter which computer it's plugged into. Failing that, an alias that works only on my box would be adequate.
Edit: No progress. I have three USB thumb drives, and all three are recognized by their factory-origin "names". Those names have nothing to do with the /etc/fstab (as far as I have been able to determine). When I put each one in and mount it, the mount command shows that /dev/sdb1 is /run/media/user/(name). To belabor the point: whichever flash drive is plugged in, as soon as it is mounted, it becomes /dev/sdb1, and is recognized and works perfectly as long as I use its name. Two of the three thumb drives have short names; the newest has a name that is 36 characters long. I typically copy files in the CLI, and I'd like to carry on with that procedure -- but the command is unwieldy with the new thumb drive, as it must include the drive name.
My fstab has
/dev/sdb1 /media/usb ext2 noauto,user,noatime,nodiratime 0 0
You'd need "auto" instead of "ext2".
On my system when drives are automounted within XFCE they are mounted in a directory of the same name as the label of their file system.

3 of the Best Back Scrubbers: Your Back Needs Exfoliation, Too
If you've decided to remove your back hair or you just simply want fabulous skin without imperfections then it's time to get a back scrubber.
Exfoliation is basically the whole secret to an amazing skin.
That's why I'm going to make some suggestions so that you can choose the best back scrubber for your needs. I mean, your back should be fabulous, too. And it's so much easier to wash it this way.
Also, if you have back acne or bacne, exfoliation could be the answer to your problem.
It's not pleasant at all.
Your skin becomes itchy and sometimes those breakouts can even hurt. Plus, it's not aesthetically pleasant. It occurs because the back has more oil glands. Breakouts are normal on this area.
With a scrubber, you remove the dead skin cells and the skin can breath because the pores aren't clogged anymore.
Exfoliating with a back scrubber is part of the process to get rid of bacne.
I can only help you by suggesting an amazing scrub.
The Guide to the Best Back Scrubbers
There's only two things to be aware of when choosing a scrubber for this part of your body:
- loofahs and natural sea sponges are ideal if you want a light exfoliation so they're really good for daily usage,
- bristles/scrubbers with a rough surface are ideal for a deeper exfoliation, for a more thorough one, but I doubt you'll be able to use such a product daily because it can irritate your skin and make more problems than solving the ones you had so, a solution, would be to alternate between the two.
Or, as you're going to see, there are products that have two sides – one more abrasive and one more gentle – so there's no need to get two different units.
1. Aquis Exfoliating Back Scrubber
The Aquis Exfoliating scrubber is really popular and one of the best back scrubbers. There are certain reasons for that:
- it has an excellent price, it's really affordable,
- it has a great length, even for persons with broader shoulders and long arms,
- it has handles on both ends so it can be easily handled to reach every portion of any hard-to-reach area,
- there is this thing called two-sided technology, meaning that on one side there is a textured loofah-like surface for a deeper cleaning, while the other side features a soft smooth microfiber surface for a more delicate exfoliation, so, you can switch between the two sides,
- and it's machine washable.

2. Stimulite Body Scrubber
My second recommendation is one of the most expensive scrubbers and, obviously, deserves to be called one of the best back scrubbers. But it's also sturdy, there are reviews from customers who have had it for 10 years and it still works great. It's totally worth it.
It's also the perfect way to get a back facial daily. If you have bacne, this is part of the solution.
The Stimulite is effective and gentle at the same time. It has two sides, a more abrasive one for a deeper exfoliation and a more gentle one if you have sensitive skin.
It can be used wet or dry.

3. Swissco Deluxe Bath Brush
Obviously, I couldn't end this post without recommending the old-fashioned, traditional bath brush. It might be old-fashioned but it still works great for exfoliation as well as for simply washing your hard-to-reach places.
This particular bath brush from Swissco Deluxe is of good quality.
The bristles are a little hard so, if you have sensitive skin, you should try it and see if you can use it daily. If you have bacne and you irritate your skin, things will only get worse.
Click Here to Buy the Swissco Deluxe Bath Brush
Exfoliating with bristles, like the Swissco Deluxe Bath Brush, is more heavy duty and I don't think you will be able to use it daily. But it's also more efficient because it exfoliates the skin to a deeper degree, which makes it one of the best back scrubbers in my opinion.

Getting plastic surgery in Hollywood has become as common as going down to the grocery store to get milk. Everyone does it all the time. Funnily enough, hiding the fact that they've had plastic surgery is done is just as common. In fact, if hiding these procedures were an Olympic sport, then all of Hollywood's elite would be gold medalists. And Jenna Dewan seems to have joined their ranks.
First, we have to be honest. Jenna Dewan never publicly admitted that she's had any form of plastic surgery procedure. However, we beg to disagree because one glance at her before and after photos and you can clearly see something is different. And we aren't talking hair color or lipstick here.
After all, it's a bit difficult to change important features without resorting to plastic surgery. If anyone's found a way to change the shape of their nose or improve their cheekbones without resorting to the scalpel, please let us know because we'll sign up for said procedure right away.
So, we definitely have to say that yes, Jenna Dewan has had some work done. In regards to what work that is, we can only speculate based on those before and after photos and what we think is different about her.
First off, we feel it necessary to point out that Jenna Dewan is a beautiful woman and she was just as beautiful before she got her upgrades. So, while we really think she didn't need them, at the same time, we know how much more confident you can feel after getting a little work done. From that standpoint, we say go Jenna for doing it and ignoring all the catty remarks from various directions about her not loving herself and other silly things like that.
Now, if you check out Jenna Dewan's before and after photos, you'll notice her cheeks look a little different and so does her nose. So, it's likely she either got cheek implants or she's been resorting to injectables to plump up her cheeks a little. The latter is quite likely because the wrinkles around her mouth have been smoothed out a fair bit too.
Regarding her nose, it's clearly narrower than it was before. It also looks like the tip of her nose is more centered, but then that could be due to the angle of the camera. However, the width has definitely gone down.
Another procedure that she definitely got done is in the bust region. Her breasts seemed to expand overnight, which cannot be explained by anything natural other than plastic surgery. But we have to admit, they really do look good on her.
So, Jenna Dewan has clearly had some plastic surgery done as evidenced by her before and after photos. However, it doesn't really matter because she didn't go overboard and make herself look like a mannequin with no expression on her face like some celebrities do. She might not have been totally subtle but what she did get done only enhanced her looks. So, once again, we say: Go, Jenna!
What do You think about Jenna Dewan plastic surgery? Leave a comment!

Examples might be about dating, working, use of spare time. This might often occur when child still lives at home.
sort by best latest
If your child is an adult (18+), then no, you should not be making most decisions for your child. Certainly not about dating. Your child should be learning how to be independent, and managing their own time, and parents need to learn how to start backing off, so to speak.
Footing the college bill doesn't mean you get a say in who they want to go on dates with or that they need to stop playing video games so much, but you can work out deals, like if you pay tuition, they need to be working a part time job/volunteering/getting internship experience. If they are still living at home, then yeah, there are house rules that should be followed. They should contribute to the house cleaning, preparation of meals, etc. They could pay for their own necessities (like clothes, shampoo, gas, etc). If they don't like it, they can move out, after all. Of course, if they are failing all their classes and are being lazy students, at that point, maybe you need to have a serious talk: something like, I'm only going to pay tuition if you get at least a B average or something, and if you're not in college, you're working full time.
But all in all, you have to let them learn how to be an adult, so you should not micromanage their life.

Thanks for response about allowing students to be adults.
Paying for college does not give a parent a right to dictate what their adult child should be doing unless it is directly related to that money. Parents have no right to tell their adult children who they should be dating, and shouldn't use the fact they are helping with the cost of college as leverage against their child.
If the college child is passing classes and not violating common decency around the house then I don't see any reason the parent should be making any decisions for the child.
I've always found it a bit weird for parents to tell adult children what to do simply because they still live at home. Like what time to be home, why would a parent need to tell an adult child when they have to be home?
The best thing is to set boundaries. Make sure the adult child understands that while they are free to come and go as they please they must respect the home. Such as not being loud if they come in late, not leaving messes, not inviting people into the home without making it known, or simply communicating their schedule.
Paying for college is a duty of a parent, not something that should be used as a form of control.
You can help the HubPages community highlight top quality content by ranking this answer up or down.
You are correct that some parents can be too controlling when a child lives at home. Going away to college is often a good choice for a student.
It is a delicate balance. You want to give them room to grow and learn to be independent, but you also don't want to watch thousands of dollars go down the drain!
I would say the best thing to do would be to sit down with your college student and go over a list of your expectations for them. Maybe they have to make certain grades, be at home by a certain time and still do certain chores around the house.
If they are meeting these expectations they have the freedom to decide how they use their spare time, dating and working. If they stop meeting any of these expectations then sit down with them again and until they begin to meet expectations again you have more decision making power over how they use their time.
It can be hard, especially if you are paying for it, but they do chances to make mistakes and learn from them. They also need room to learn to be an adult and make that final transition between adolescence and adulthood..

Thanks so much. You talk about teaching responsibility and creating a good relationship.
It depends upon the nature & maturity level of the parent. More progressive, enlightened, democratic, & mature parents strongly contend that their adult children are individuals who have the right to make their own decisions & life plans. They contend that although they are paying for tertiary education, they gladly do this because they want their children to have a better life. They further believe that as parents, it is their duty to help the younger generation but they refuse to view this as ownership of their children. They see such a premise to be abhorrent at best & total abusive at worst. They further aver that even if their adult child lives at home, they are adults & are entitled to live an independent life. They do not believe that living at home precludes an adult child to living the way h/she wants as long as h/she does not harm others.
However, more retrogressive, reactionary, authoritarian, & immature parents contend that since they are footing the tertiary education bill, they have the right to tell their children what to do. They contend THEIR money, THEIR rules. They assert that if their children want to be independent of them, LET THE LATTER PAY FOR COLLEGE, NOT THEM. They are of the school that if their children depend upon them &/or live at home, their children WILL do as they say or it is the highway. These parents strongly believe that if their children were TRUE ADULTS, they would not be living at home & FULLY supporting themselves!
You can help the HubPages community highlight top quality content by ranking this answer up or down.
It is true that some parents are permissive and others authoritarian. Their attitude influences decisions, but some students may rebel against strict parental ideas. Thanks for response..

It's sort of an odd scenario that Richard Samuel appeared to have the starting tailback job locked up heading into Saturday's game against Arkansas, then ran for a career-best 104 yards, and suddenly the picture is far less clear.
For the first time this season, Caleb King actually saw some action, and while Samuel's day consisted of one long carry and a bunch of short runs, King actually looked pretty strong in his long-awaited return to action.
After missing six weeks with a sore hamstring, King got 11 carries against Arkansas -- which is probably about double what most of us in the media figured he'd get. He racked up 59 yards (a 5.4 ypc average) and had three runs of 10 yards or longer. If you're keeping track, that's just one fewer than Samuel has all season.
And it wasn't as if King's short runs were particularly bad either. He was stopped for a loss just once, on his final rush when Georgia was simply running out the clock to set up a field goal, and quarterback Joe Cox said King was close to breaking several big ones.
"He looked good," Cox said. "He was close to really busting a couple of runs loose, but it was good for him to just get back in the game and feel the speed."
King got a ringing endorsement from his head coach, too.
"Caleb did a nice job," Mark Richt said. "He ran the ball well, protected the ball well and pass protected pretty darn good. Overall, he competed well, and he showed no signs of the hamstring injury."
King definitely pass protected well. It was a night-and-day difference from the lingering memories of the Florida game a year ago, in which a missed block essentially signaled the end of any significant playing time the rest of the season for King.
But it's the other aspect of his game that Richt mentioned that should really be given some notice. He protected the ball well.
Contrast that with Samuel, who had two fumbles in the game -- well, one officially, but no doubt the coaches saw two on film. The first fumble was on a pitch that Samuel simply dropped, and it set up an Arkansas touchdown. The second came after he was hit, and while the refs reviewed a replay and said Samuel was down, the film the rest of us saw told a different story. Samuel clearly coughed up the football, but was lucky enough to reach through the legs of his tackler and snare reel in the football before Arkansas could recover.
(EDIT: From what we heard in the press box (which was minimal) it sounded like it was ruled not a fumble. From what you guys have said though, the refs got it right -- a fumble, recovered by Samuel. Sorry for the confusion.)
The latter fumble came at a crucial point in the second half, and a turnover there could easily have cost Georgia the game. For a team with nine giveaways already this season, a fumble-prone tailback is a problem the Bulldogs' cannot afford.
Of course, the fumbles might have been a fluke, and they might be more easily overlooked if his numbers were as impressive as they appeared at first blush. But take away his 80-yard touchdown run in the second quarter, and Samuel tallied just 24 yards on 15 carries (1.6 ypc).
That's not to say we should take away that 80-yard run. On one hand, Samuel was never touched. It was easily the most dominant blocking the offensive line has done all season, and the red sea was essentially parted up the middle for Samuel to dart through. But having said that, it was the type of play where last year, Knowshon Moreno might have been tracked down from behind by a speedy safety. Samuel, however, turned on the afterburners and it was obvious why the coaching staff is so high on him. The kid has ridiculous speed.
Samuel clearly has big-play potential, and in the comments I've read from readers since the game ended, there's been a pretty distinct mix of people who love the kid and people who'd just assume see him ride the pine the rest of the season.
Clearly the latter is not an option. Samuel simply has too much talent to be wasted in reserve duty. But it's interesting to note that, in the second half, he and King each had six carries, and it was King in on the final drive to ensure that the ball didn't hit the turf. That's a big role for a player who has had exactly two full practice sessions since Aug. 12.
If nothing else, King's return signals an important turning point for the offense. Carlton Thomas was simply not equipped to handle the between-the-tackles running when spelling Samuel during the first two games. King provides a strong counterpunch, even if Samuel remains the starter.
But just how the carries shake out going forward is hardly cut and dry. It's probably fair to remember that Samuel is just 18 years old, and he's still got a lot of growing to do as a tailback. At this point, it's probably fair to say that King is the more polished all-around back. So should that mean that King should get the starting job? Should Samuel be moved to a role more tailored to fit his style and kept on the sidelines during crucial moments when a fumble could spell doom for the Dawgs?
If Cox knows, he's not giving anything away. He insists he has no idea how the carries will be split this week, but he does think that the competition is a good thing regardless of who sees more touches.
"It's good for all the backs that (King) is back," Cox said. "It's not a competition, but everybody knows that we have three backs and it's going to make all of them work that much harder, and I think we'll have three guys ready to go."
So how would you like to see the backfield dynamic look next week? Which of the two tailbacks do you think has the better longterm future? Were you more impressed by King's strong return or disheartened by Samuel's penchant for coughing up the football?

Competition for Carries
It's sort of an odd scenario that Richard Samuel appeared to have the starting tailback job locked up heading into Saturday's game against Arkansas, then ran for a career-best 104 yards, and suddenly the picture is far less clear.
11 comments:
I think we have seen the huge dropoff from losing Moreno more than we have seen a huge dropoff from losing Stafford. That said, we have to find someone opposite of AJ Green to take a little heat off of him. We showed a few options on Saturday, but AJ is dadgum AWESOME!
Samuel has no vision and not very good balance. Caleb is more the natural runner and showed good vision Saturday. I think having them both available will help us use Carlton Thomas more in space rather than running him between the tackles. It was good to see Caleb protect the QB, I hope he's back to 100%.

DH, if I'm not mistaken, the official ruling on the field was that Samuel did fumble and that he recovered it himself.
- September 21, 2009 at 8:43 AM
They said on TV that on Samuel's second fumble the refs ruled that he wasn't down but that he did recover the ball himself (as opposed to Arkansas). That appeared to be correct to me after looking at it. Still, whew. That could definately have cost us the game. I think the competition is good for both Caleb and Samuel, neither one is a Knowshon that's for sure, but few are.
- September 21, 2009 at 8:47 AM
There's no way we ignore what Samuel showed on that first drive against SC. He has a unique power and speed package that puts him in very select company" Herschel Walker, Adrian Peterson...still, we know hi flaws and only that he may one day be that good if he can add technical ability to his wondrous natural ones.
Caleb King showed a real desire to get after it. He was impressive both with and without the ball. At this point I have to concur with the coaches' mindset that ball protection must be number one if all else be equal.
- September 21, 2009 at 8:50 AM
More and more, I am of the opinon that we have a BUNCH of young, electric players (particularly at "skill" positions) out there trying to make it happen, and most all of them are very good. But with that youth we are going to endure a season of highs and lows. This may make for an exciting season, but will be horrible for the collective sanity and blood pressure of the coaches and fanbase.
That being said, I hope that we've seen our defense's highest points-allowed for the year. I can't take much more of that. Oh, and one other thing- Orson Charles is a BEAST.

Fumble, recovered by Samuel.
As for Samauel only getting 2 yds per carry sans the 80 yarder...
I believe 7 of those carries were from that dadgum shotgun/spread and he was given the ball going east or west. Line up in the effin I formation and give him the ball going down hill.
If it aint broke don't fix the #^$%# thing.
This "new Georgia" we are witnessing, while exciting, is not going to hold up against the meat of the schedule.
Cox had all night to throw the ball. That will not be the case later in the season. We are going to have to run the ball.
What is the freaking point of having Joe Cox run the ball out of the spread? Was it a coaching opportunity to show Logan Gray when to keep the ball? I sure as hell hope so.
If we can't play defense like old man Kiffin's group, we better start playing keep away like Junior did.
Apparently we watched to too damn much film on Okie State. We are now playing like a big 12 team!
It really sux that I cannot enjoy having scored 52 points.

I don't think you can really read anything into King being on the field for that last drive after Samuel's fumble. After the first quarter King and Samuel were rotating essentially every series. It was simply King's turn in the rotation to be in the game for that last drive.
As for Samuel's numbers that he only had 24 yards on 15 carries outside of the 80 yard TD run, everyone just needs to stop focusing solely on the numbers in the box score. Watching the game you had to see that on many of those runs he was getting hit almost as soon as he touched the football, yet still managed to fight for a couple of yards. And it is irresponsible to say "oh well he only had so many yards if you take his best run of the day away." You can say that about any running back on any given day. For instance, in the NFL everyone loves Adrian Peterson but in week 1 he was largely bottled up by the Browns until he broke that long highlight run. All you heard from anyone about Peterson was how great he was, not that he was shut down for much of the day outside of one long run.
So why the different treatment for Samuel? IMO all the Samuel haters turned against him when he was a 16-17 year old kid who had trouble holding on to the ball in his true freshman year and are holding tightly to that first impression and will never be willing to give the kid a chance no matter what he does. Just keep doing your thing and keep improving Richard, and don't worry about all the stubborn haters out there who will never get off your back.

Richarhats a is a brusier, and that is a great thing to have in the SEC. Caleb is a little is smoother. Carlton is our burner. I say by percentages we run a 40,40, 20 split with Thomas the obvious 20. This will all be decided by the opponent and their lines size and talent. If we use Richard to beat them up it will make carrys for C-n-C alot easier to navigate. I would mind seeing the occasional two back set as well. Richard is close to a full back as is.
- September 21, 2009 at 2:25 PM
A fumble 1 in 8 touches is not going to cut it for Samuel, regardless of removing his best run. And by the way, take almost any game from Knowshon from last year and remove his largest run and his stats still look great. Having a consistant runner that doesnt lose the ball is extremely important, and Samuel has proven that he can do neither. I bet King gets the majority of the carries from here on out if he can get his mind right. I think he really impressed the coaches with his effort in some of the blocks.
- September 21, 2009 at 4:08 PM
- TG Dawg said...
King was great in protection, but Samuel was just as impressive. No way King gets the majority of touches from here on out. I expect we will likely see a series by series rotation with Samuel and King the rest of the season like we saw the entire second half against Arkansas with Thomas getting sprinkled in for certain situations.
And I'm still not sure why everyone insists that Thomas is the "burner" in the backfield. Both Samuel and King are faster than Thomas. What Thomas has is elusiveness, not outstanding breakaway speed.
But all in all I am very happy with our RB situation. We have two very good backs that compliment each other and who both have the potential to become great backs with more experience and game repetition.

Venice Travel Blog› entry 7 of 10 › view all entries
The day couldn't have started off any better. Once we left Austria to get to Venice, we hit a gridlock for about 6 hours.
I don't want to get too much into detail about it, but it gave me a better opportunity to communicate with some of the members of our tour group. Played a little cards here and there, and took a few naps... but man that traffic jam was a monster. Here's an article linking to the accident: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/mar/25/crash.motorway.austria?gusrc=rss&feed=worldnews
We had to postpone our trip to Verona because of it, so instead we headed straight for Venice. It took till 6pm to get there... and oh boy the humidity. I could not stand it at all. Riverside is probably a lot worse in terms of temperature, but the humidity makes you want to die! I couldn't enjoy dinner because it was so hot! AC wasn't even a factor compared to what we had to go through. We took a cruise through the waters to get to the main plaza (which I've been to before). It was nice, but still hot. We enjoyed some music, and some drinks. I have to put off on the alcohol, because I've been getting sick and dehydrated from this monster weather that we've been having.
All in all, it's just been a bitch. I wouldn't want to stay here at all. There's no internet, and hardly any good TV on. Plus, the rooms are too small and there's a crapload of bugs. I wouldn't recommend staying in Venice for more than a day... TOPS.

If you want to take fitness into your own hands, start by creating a customized home gym. You not only can get a workout in on your schedule, but you also can save money over time in lieu of an expensive monthly membership. Making a personal gym is simple and fun when you determine what matters most to your workout. Are you looking to focus on muscle strength and definition or on cardio? Where is your workout space going to be? Here are some easy ways you can set up a home gym.
Planning the Space
Whether you're preparing to convert a basement, garage or spare room into a fitness area, you'll need to figure out what can fit in your prospective gym without being too cramped. Try to work with an area no less than 8' x 8' in dimension to allow for a few feet of room between machines and for your fitness collection to grow. No matter how much room you have to work with, it's better to start with a couple quality fitness machines and add pieces over time than to make your gym too congested from the start.
To maximize on space, you can simply include only the elements you need indoors if part of your workout can be completed outside. For example, if you live in a warm climate, you might consider including a strength training machine like a rower rather than a treadmill since you could easily go outside for a run most of the year.
Selecting Equipment
When you establish your personal workout needs, look for equipment that targets those areas and diversifies daily routines. Try not to get stuck with a home gym that is one-dimensional by adding equipment that works out your whole body or at least major muscle groups. Consider starting with a strength-building machine like a power tower or a dumbbell and rack set, and pair with a cardio machine, such as an exercise cycle or spin bike. If space is at a premium, think about space-saving units like a folding treadmill or an all-in-one machine that combines strength and resistance training.
To round out your fitness collection, simple accessories like strength bands and yoga balls are great options for targeting smaller muscle groups and adding versatility to your routine. Consider including a portable ballet barre in your gym so you can switch to dance mode with ease when the mood strikes.
Browse all fitness equipment
Setting Up Your Home Gym
Create a comfortable area you'll be excited to exercise in with colorful walls, durable workout gear and fans or effective ventilation for cooling down. A bright, sunny space with natural light creates an uplifting environment that can help you stay enthusiastic while getting in shape. Let your personality decide the colors you incorporate into your design.
To create an inviting, conducive flow from the moment you set foot inside your space, think about how you normally start your workouts. If you typically begin by doing some stretching and light cardio, a warmup station featuring a yoga mat and jump rope will put you in the right frame of mind. From there, you could situate a Pilates' station that gets your heart beating while targeting strength building in major muscle groups. Consider how your workout evolves, and design your gym in a way that complements your individual workout style, allowing you to move from one station to the next with ease. Make sure you have room for a friend to join in on the activities if you want to include a workout buddy.
The layout is of utmost importance since you don't want to overcrowd the space or risk not using gear due to lack of room. Ensure that all equipment can be used without running into other stations, machines or walls in your home. You want to make sure there's at least 3 feet surrounding pieces like ellipticals, rowers and stair steppers. Remember to create an area completely free of machines for stretching, warmups and so forth.
Finishing Touches
Listening to music can elevate your mood and provide motivation for working out longer and harder so be sure to have a stereo system or MP3 player loaded with tracks to get you going. Give your room a larger look by hanging long dance mirrors along the walls.
Try adding a couple colorful houseplants to help you focus while adding lively accents to the design. Instead of hanging distracting TVs on the wall, look for artwork that helps to inspire you and stimulate your concentration.

FRANKFURT, Oct 5 (Reuters) - German power utility RWE is expected to price the initial public offering of its renewables, network and retail business Innogy at the upper end of the price range, it said on Wednesday.
Investors have been guided to prepare for a price of 35-36 euros per share, Germany's second-largest utility said, confirming a Reuters report.
RWE said last month that Innogy will issue 55.6 million of new shares while parent RWE aims to sell as many as 83.3 million existing shares at a price of between 32 and 36 euros apiece. (Reporting by Arno Schuetze and Christoph Steitz; Editing by Georgina Prodhan and Edward Taylor)

Great post. Social Proof is excellent and it just makes you feel more confident to have an attractive woman around. It sends out a great vibe that other women pick up on.
Good post
I disagree on the first point
Bad advice is bad advice. I just ended a five year relationship with someone I considered one of the best friends I ever had. She undermined my relationship with my wife, other friends, and damaged my reputation. Having the RIGHT female friends is the key. My wife is best friend. The otehr female friends I have are unconditional. That;s important. I agree 100 percent on the otehr bullets.
Definitely. Having the right female friends is the key. Females usually set 'territories' around their guy friends. So it is really best to have the right ones who also knows their boundaries..not females who also like you and acts as a 'bridge' to be closer to you..that is something guys should know too.
I got that, Social Proof. I gotta use it more to my benefit

Hang On Loosely: The Common Sense of Retention
Easy come, easy go.
For years companies accepted employee turnover as part of the cost of doing business. Some companies, lulled into complacency by a sleepy economy, a surplus of workers, and the belief that they can hire a replacement at a lower salary, still do. Experts predict that as the economy continues to strengthen those companies are in for a rude awakening. Workers, weary of having to do more with less and irritated by the lack of growth opportunities in their current job situations, are quietly networking over lunch or at their kids' soccer games looking for something better. Estimates for just how many are considering changing jobs range from 30 to 86 percent1, which means it could be anything from seriously disruptive to devastating for some companies.
The surplus of workers that companies have come to rely on in the last few years is temporary at best. The Bureau of Labor Statistics is forecasting a labor shortage of six million workers by 2008; it is also projecting that much of the shortfall will involve professional and service occupations, which will increase the fastest and add the most jobs.2 The labor shortage will continue to increase until sometime between 2015 and 2025, when there will be between 10 million and 16 million fewer workers than there are jobs.3 Charles Kolb, president of the Committee for Economic Development, a group of business and education leaders that conducts policy research in Washington, told the New York Times, "This is a sleeper issue. We do have a demographic time bomb."
And what about the cost of replacing workers? To drive home the reality of that cost, Beverly Kaye, coauthor with Sharon Jordan-Evans of Love 'Em or Lose 'Em: Getting Good People to Stay, tells a true story about John, an outstanding engineer at "XYZ Company" who asked for a 15 percent raise (about $15,000). His manager refused, and John went to work for a competitor for 30 percent more than he had been making. To find a replacement of equal caliber, XYZ hired a headhunter for $40,000 and spent $5,000 flying candidates in for interviews. It then wooed its top candidate by offering a $10,000 signing bonus, a $25,000 moving allowance, and a salary that was 25 percent higher than John's. In order to keep John's engineering friends, who had heard about how much more he was making at his new company, the company gave them each 15 percent raises. The cost of replacing John now hovered around $100,000. But then, because of John's expertise, the new company won a multi-billion dollar contract that would have gone to XYZ.

It seems fitting, somehow, that the death of Apple CEO Steve Jobs — a counterculture hero who nevertheless was an incredibly organized corporate visionary — should be accompanied by a torrent of chaos.
And here we find ourselves with the Occupy Wall Street movement, an ideological amoeba arising from the rampant dissatisfaction of the allegedly disenfranchised.
This group, which admits that it has no specific agenda, has gained press attention with its calls for "greater equality" among our business and political leaders. It has billed itself as the diametric opposite of the Tea Party movement.
So what does it stand for? No one seems to know.
A piece by OWS organizer Alaina Love, published in the Washington Post on Oct. 11, demanded a "new breed of leadership... committed to the average individual struggling to make ends meet."
Fair enough. Still, when one peruses the OWS website, other pie-in-the-sky agendas emerge: Free college tuition for all, for example. Or a minimum wage of $20 an hour with guaranteed jobs for everyone. Or "forgiveness of all debts on the entire planet."
One suggestion was to abolish our representative form of government and instead allow everyone to vote on legislation individually, via the Internet. Blurbs on campaign finance reform, universal absolution of student loan obligations, ending "all wars," disbanding the military and an investigation into the "true events of 9/11."
A truckload of malarkey alleges government conspiracies in everything from water fluoridation to the use of aspartame in diet soda to myriad vaccination-related illnesses.
So what are we left with? A few noble ideas lost in a morass of chaotic, paranoid, self-serving rubbish.
The people of America are disenchanted with this country's government, and rightfully so. Congressmen have transformed their jobs as representatives of the people into careers as politicians. The Wall Street financial sector, whose actions are at the epicenter of the OWS movement, insures the success of those at the top of the food chain in that industry at the expense of everyone else.
Rampant corporate corruption frustrates all of us. But the OWS protestors, largely idealistic young people co-opted by experienced activists from liberal splinter factions, have allowed the absurd rants of lunatics to overwhelm the more sensible components of their message.
My advice to those in the OWS movement is simple: Focus. Stop trying to be all things to all people. Don't publicize the ravings of crackpots. Educate yourself on the actual issues; don't just believe the propaganda that some activist agitator feeds you.
And don't fall prey to the very human tendency to propagate a ridiculous Christmas-list agenda of material things you "want." Asking for such things exemplifies greed, making you no better than the Wall Street CEOs that you vilify. Instead, set specific, altruistic goals that truly are for the benefit of all Americans: Campaign finance reform, for example, or congressional term limits.
The U.S. representative system of government, as originally proposed by Jefferson, Adams, Madison and others, has been adulterated by politicians focused principally on their own re-election and by lobbyists who purchase congressional votes on behalf of the clients they represent. Nevertheless, in its purest form, our governmental system has no peer.
Fixing what is broken in our current government is more reasonable than burning the whole system down and starting over. America affords its citizens more opportunities to make a difference than any society in the history of mankind. That opportunity to make a difference remains the birthright of every American.
One last thing: Don't act as if the world owes you something, because it doesn't. You have dreams? Work toward them. You have goals? Find out what it takes to reach them.
If you squawk about how things are "unfair," or how you have a "right" to a certain benefits, you lose all credibility with that segment of the population that has earned the things they have obtained. The result is a message that epitomizes Shakespeare's line about being "a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."

Health Summit 2010
Sen. Mitch McConnell suggests the President starts over on reform at White House health summit
Thursday, February 25, 2010; 5:49 PM
MCCONNELL: Mr. President?
OBAMA: Yes?
MCCONNELL: All of my members have had a chance to speak at least once, several of them a number of times. John Kyl reminds me that HSAs, for example, are not exactly for rich people, that the median income of a user of an HSA is $69,000 a year.
All of us are representatives of the American people, but I have a feeling we haven't been listening to them very carefully. Congressman Roskam mentioned what the people in his district think, and I expect all of you are experts on what the people in your districts think. But we know from the polling that's been done in this country how the American people feel about this 2,700-page bill. We know how they feel about it.
This is not a close call. If you average all of the polls in America, we know that the American people oppose this proposal by an average of 55 to 37 percent. They have also been asked, and we keep reading in the newspaper that where we're headed next is to the reconciliation approach. Gallup also asked that question, and explained to the American people what it meant so they understood what this word that we use around Washington actually means. And in the Gallup poll, the American people were opposed to using that 52 to 39.
So this has been a fabulous discussion, Mr. President. We have a lot of experts around the room, but I think it's really important, since we represent the American people, that we not ignore their view on this. They have paid attention to this issue like no other issue since I have been in the United States Senate. Health care is a uniquely personal issue. Obviously, you get more interested in the subject the older you get, but every American cares deeply about the quality of their health care and access to health care and costs of health care.
They have followed this debate like no other, and they have rendered a judgment about what we have attempted to do so far. The solution to that is to put that on the shelf and to start over with a blank piece of paper and go step by step to see what we can agree on to improve the American health care system which is already, as all of us agree, the finest in the world.
OBAMA: I'm just going to make this remark and then I'm going to call on Patty Murray. I'm going to save the two lions of the House here for the end, because there's been a lot of comments from every Republican about the polls and what they're hearing from their constituents. And as I said, I hear from constituents in every one of your districts and every one of your states.
And what's interesting is actually when you poll people about the individual elements in each of these bills, they're all for them. So you ask them, "Do you want to prohibit preexisting conditions?" "Yes, I am for that." "Do you want to make sure that everybody can get basic coverage that's affordable?" "Yes, I'm for that." "Do you want to make sure that insurance companies can't take advantage of you and that you've got the ability, as Ron said, to fire an insurance that's not doing a good job and hire one that is, but also that you've got some basic consumer protections?" "Yes, we like that."
So polls I think are important in taking a temperature of the public. If you polled people and asked them, "Is the system working right now and should we move forward with health reform," they'd also say yes to that.
And my hope had been and continues to be, based on this conversation, there might be enough areas of overlap that we could realistically think about moving forward without -- without a situation in which everybody just goes to their respective corners and this ends up being a political fight, because this is something that really has to be solved.
We've got three people who have not had an opportunity to speak today. If you don't mind, I will -- would like to, in the interest of time, just go ahead and let each of them speak. If there's an intervention that somebody on the Republican side wants to make, then I will recognize them.
Then I will allow anybody of your choice, Mitch, to wrap things up. I think Speaker Pelosi may want to say just a quick summary of what she's thinking, and then I will talk a little bit about next steps. And if everybody could keep their remarks relatively brief, that would be very helpful.

Dudley laptop theft sees more NHS patient details go missing
A laptop containing the records of more than 5,000 NHS patients has been stolen from an hospital outpatient clinic in the Midlands.
This Article Covers
Risk management
A laptop containing the records of more than 5,000 NHS patients has been stolen from an hospital outpatient clinic in the Midlands.
The theft took place at Russells Hall Hospital in Dudley. The theft has only just come to light, although the laptop went missing on 8 January.
The hospital said the machine had the clinical records of anticoagulation patients on it. The records are said to be password protected, and a separate hospital log-in and password is required to operate the laptop, said the hospital.
From forensic cyber to encryption: InfoSec17
Security technologist Bruce Schneier's insights and warnings around the regulation of IoT security and forensic cyber psychologist Mary Aiken's comments around the tensions between encryption and state security were the top highlights of the keynote presentations at Infosecurity Europe 2017 in London.

West Midlands Police is investigating the theft. Patients have received a letter from the hospital warning them about the loss of their personal details.
The clinic is part of the Dudley Group of Hospitals NHS Trust. The Trust last year said it was investing £135,000 in new data encryption software, but it is not believed this system had reached the stolen machine yet.
The Dudley theft follows a series of reported incidents across the NHS, involving stolen and lost laptops and memory sticks over the last 12 months.

the lost world carnotaurus by JELSINWatch
This is a great picture. I just finished reading the book and I found that perticular scene really fascinating. I am wondering if they took it as an inspiration for the Indominus Rex's ability to camouflage in Jurassic World, which I found increadible...
I like how its camouflage actually looks like camouflage rather than just "turning invisible"
Wasn't the Carnotaurus a boss in the Jurassic Park arcade game (the one based on "The Lost World", I mean)?
So cool!
This reminds me of the Jurassic Park video game. The Sega game was the best one. The Lost World was also the best movie. www.rousehillfirewood.com.au
thing is, it could very well have been evolutionarily possible for carnotaurus or other dinosaurs to have colour changing scales, and even if we found a mummified dinosaur, with scales and organs intact we'd never know . . .
I really wish they'd made it into the film adaptation. But alas, they didn't.
This is a really creative way to depict the camouflage, though. I love it.
This is a really creative way to depict the camouflage, though. I love it.
well done, a dino-character with chameleon properties from the michael's book.
Awesome! I wish they'd use that in the movie.
Hurreeey from fantastic JP book!
I saw the logo and thought: "Hey, it's Jurassic Park!". Then I saw Carnotaurus and thought: "But Carnotaurus aren't in JP". After another 'eye shot' I thought: "This looks like inspired by the book"
Well done
Well done
Haha! Carnotaurus is my favorite dinosaur and I think you captured its color changing abilities rather well... it was ashamed it was not adapted in media very well...
q lastima q no saliese en la peli jeje
SI, FUE UNA PENA, PERO HASTA ESO LA PELÍCULA AL IGUAL QUE EL LIBRO SE ME HICIERON MUY BUENOS n_n
Thoughts: painter's job, convenient colouration. The dinosaur behind the curtain.
I see why this is the featured deviation.
I see why this is the featured deviation.
Haha! Just like in The Lost World novel. Very nice.
Awesome. Well done with the camoflage. Reminds me of my fight with him on the Lost World Arcade Shooter
thanks! yes! i remember that, with chameleon eyes XD do you know if this game is for download?
sorry for my horrible english
sorry for my horrible english
Not that I know of, but if you've got a spare thousand bucks you could nail one off Ebay. I was surprised too when I saw it, but they do have it fom time to time.
esta genial!!!!!!
absolutely brilliant. great job. love the detail, and the coloring is perfect. I love how you captured the "chameleon" aspect from the book.
thanks!! The truth is that this one is the second interpretation of the carnotaurus because the first time that i readed tlw i was very small and I imaginated them bioluminiscent jejejeje
one of your best
Wow Awesome

Wales v England, Six Nations Championship, February 14
Jones returns to lead Wales
February 12, 2009
Ryan Jones will lead Wales against England © Getty Images
Wales skipper Ryan Jones has recovered from the calf strain that kept him from their opening Six Nations win over Scotland and will lead the side against England at the Millennium Stadium on Saturday.
Talismanic wing Shane Williams takes his place, but sat out training on Thursday and will require a fitness test on an ankle injury picked up at Murrayfield. Should he fail the test then Scarlets wing Mark Jones will slot straight in to the side. Ospreys centre Gavin Henson again misses out due to a calf strain.
Henson's absence means that Tom Shanklin and Jamie Roberts will continue their impressive partnership from last weekend, while Scarlets back-row Dafydd Jones drops to the bench for Jones. Last weekend's skipper Martyn Williams starts on the openside and Blues powerhouse Andy Powell retains the No.8 jersey. Powell is another injury worry, pulling up with a tightening in his calf during training that will be assessed later on Thursday. Stephen Jones and Mike Phillips continue at half-back.
"The fixture is a bit of a reversal from last year, it just shows that a lot of things can change in 12 months, but there is also a lesson there in that we were not tipped to win at Twickenham but we did and it sparked our season," said Wales boss Warren Gatland. "We will need to play better all around the park than we did last week if we are to beat England, they are a side with a vast amount of experience and they will respond well to having their backs to the wall.
"We have reached fourth place in the IRB World Rankings and our challenge now is to stay there and maintain consistency of performance."
England manager Martin Johnson has recalled Wasps flanker Joe Worsley into the England side. Worsley is one of two changes to the side that made a winning, if unconvincing, start to the Six Nations against Italy on Saturday, with Gloucester centre Mike Tindall also returning in place of Newcastle's Jamie Noon.
Worsley starts on the openside flank in place of London Irish's Steffon Armitage, who drops out of the 22 altogether after making his debut against Italy. Better known as a blindside flanker, Worsley has been called in to action due to lingering injury doubts over Bath's Michael Lipman and long-term injuries to Leicester's Lewis Moody and Worsley's Wasps team-mate Tom Rees. While Armitage has been in fine form in the Premiership this season, he went missing for much of his debut and has been dropped as England prepare for the Millennium Stadium's pressure-cooker atmosphere.
Again there is no place in the 22 for Danny Cipriani, with Andy Goode retaining the fly-half jersey and Toby Flood slotting in on the bench in place of London Irish's Shane Geraghty.
London Irish scrum-half Paul Hodgson, a late call-up from the Saxons squad after Danny Care failed to return to fitness, replaces Northampton's Ben Foden on the bench after Foden also won his debut cap at Twickenham on Saturday.
Johnson cited Worsley's tackling and ball-carrying ability as the reasons for his selection, one that will undoubtedly raide eyebrows considering his original exclusion from the Six Nations squad, only coming in as injury-cover.
"Joe has been playing very well. He is a very experienced player, a big tackler and a big carrier," said Johnson. "His form has been great all year, and we thought it was the right game for him to come and play. It was a tough call. Steffon played there last week. He has taken his first step in international rugby and he has a bright future. But we think Joe is the right guy for what we want to do."
Johnson was disappointed that his side's opening game fell well below the pace and intensity of the offerings served up by Ireland and France at Croke Park and Wales in Scotland.
"The tempo of those games was pretty high. We were frustrated we got bogged down a bit. But there are reasons for that, the mistakes we made and the opposition we are up against. We won the last game, and I would like to keep our fortunes heading in the same direction. We need to build confidence and momentum.
"We know as a squad we can play better than we did last week. It is about improving. I am looking forward to going away from home, and the pressure and intensity will be a big test for our team. The Welsh enjoy having a successful rugby team, and they are playing some attractive rugby - so it will be double difficult.
"We don't have that much expectation - and we need to go there and fight. We can also play - but we need to battle and quieten the crowd down."

It is estimated that, on average, development of a new medicine takes over a decade and the cost of research and development is around £1 billion. A recent report, published by the UK Department of Business, Innovation and Skills has highlighted the slow uptake in the UK of new medicines approved by NICE compared to other countries such as the USA, Germany, France and Japan.
The UK Government has recently initiated a review, supported by the Wellcome Trust, which will endeavour to accelerate access to innovative medicines through the UK National Health Service ("NHS") and to reduce both time to market and cost of drug development.
UK Accelerated Access Review
In November 2014, George Freeman, the Life Sciences Minister of the UK Government, announced a major initiative called the "The Innovative Medicines and Medical Technology Review", now renamed as the "Accelerated Access Review".
The Accelerated Access Review is being led by Sir Hugh Taylor, Chair of Guy's and St. Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust. He will be supported by an expert advisory group headed by Professor Sir John Bell, Regius Professor of Medicine at Oxford University.
In summary, the review will include the following:
- a full review of the current pathways for development, assessment and adoption of medicines, devices and diagnostics. It is intended that the review will map the current landscape with a view to:
- producing practical improvements to the NHS;
- creating a better alignment of existing assets and initiatives;
- identifying key strategic and operational priorities to enable the speeding up of patient access to cost-effective and innovative medicines;
- reducing the time it takes for innovative medicines to get from clinical trial to market.
- encouragement of the continued development and use of stratified medicines and new therapeutic technologies. This will include giving consideration to existing funding structures and looking at current ways of working, to assess how best to support medical and technological innovations.
- greater consideration will be given to the benefits of new and emerging technologies. There will be greater encouragement of more widespread use of such technologies which have, traditionally, suffered from slow take up in the medical sphere. For example:
- the promotion of greater use of digital devices, medical apps and other digital technologies in the medical world, both for use by patients and medical practitioners;
- better and more effective use of medical data. This will be effected by first identifying the data governance and privacy requirements that need to be put in place and then dealing with any issues surrounding the use of real-time data and monitoring systems in the medical world;
- better utilisation of data analytics, data measurements and big data for evidence-based technological developments. Data gathering and analysis will assist with assessment and commissioning of effective innovative medicines, devices and diagnostics;
- better adoption, diffusion and tracking of innovative products, using innovative technologies and tracking patient responses throughout the NHS, in line with whatever relevant data protection and regulatory requirements may apply.
Accelerated Access Review and Impact on Existing Schemes
The Accelerated Access Review will take into account and seek to strengthen other schemes already in existence, such as the Early Access to Medicines Scheme; the Adaptive Pathways Pilot; the National Institute for Health Care and Excellence (NICE) Technology Appraisal; the NICE Implementation Collaborative; and the Evaluation through Commissioning scheme.
Accelerated Access Review and Investors
The Accelerated Access Review seeks to encourage investors to work jointly with the NHS. For example:
- to ensure greater numbers of clinical trials are undertaken using NHS patient groupings;
- to consider how the NHS can collaborate with relevant partners to provide real life evidence of utility and cost effectiveness (both domestically and at an international level);
- to jointly promote innovative drugs, devices and diagnostics.
It is envisaged that the review may lead to fast track regulation which could make innovative medicines more readily available and this should result in the cost of new medicines being reduced. To that end, the Accelerated Access Review encourages investors who have funds, resources and know-how to work within and with an integrated system, eventually creating a reformed health care system that benefits from greater private sector input.
Potential Reform of Reimbursement Models for Medicines
The Accelerated Access Review will look at potential reforms to existing reimbursement models. It will consider how systems of economic assessment can be adapted to reflect technological advances in genomics, precision medicines and informatics. The review will consider changes to the traditional research and development model so that innovative products can be better integrated and funded as inexpensively as possible and thereby become more accessible to patients.
The particular nature of the NHS, being a fully publicly funded healthcare system with access to vast amounts of patient information, means the UK is perhaps uniquely placed to effect such changes.
Response of Stakeholders to the Accelerated Access Review
It is not surprising that proposals to improve and ensure both access to, and uptake of, new medicines have been widely welcomed by pharmaceutical industry bodies.
The Association of British Pharmaceutical Industry's (ABPI) project director for manufacturing, James Christie, has said:
"the stronger the medicines manufacturing sector in the UK, the more effective we will be in bringing innovative therapies and treatments to patients… by looking across the board at issues such as supply chain innovation, developments in technology, changes to the fiscal environment and access to sustainable funding, we hope to create a user-friendly blueprint for success in UK medicines manufacturing."
The BioIndustry Association (BIA) has commented:
"Continued government focus and commitment to the life science sector is crucial to the success of the UK life science ecosystem."
The Accelerated Access Review will also be welcomed by patients and pharmaceutical companies alike, frustrated by the fact that innovative drugs have been removed from the lists of treatments available recently.
The Accelerated Access Review has the potential to bring the UK to the forefront of the global life sciences arena, alongside cities such as Boston, San Francisco and Singapore. The proposed reforms under the Accelerated Access Review have been welcomed by a range of key stakeholders involved in the provision and delivery of healthcare in the UK. We will be monitoring developments and reporting on the different elements of UK Accelerated Access Review as it progresses over the ensuing months.

Desk organizer
Since it's been raining all day I got bored and downloaded a template from My timeless templates. I chose From the desk of and I must say I really love the template. So clear and easy and the finished box is more sturdy than you could imagine. I'm really, really pleased with the template.
If the weather continues like this tomorrow we're taking Amanda to the local (indoor) playland, I'm going bonkers here!

Response to Where Can "Homeland" Go From Here?:
I felt this season to be stale and meandering,one episode would be great the next so lost and without focus -I suppose that's what makes a great drama.I felt that Brodys character was not developed enough and Carrie was too hyper manic plus pregnant.It just did not work for me.
.Why was Quinn building that bomb. Is Saul going to with Carrie?
maybe a reset and Homeland will be back next year, some people loved this season I was not one of them.God bless Brody we will miss you .
