Pig Dice Game
Pig is a very simple dice game that is exceptionally easy both to learn and to play. As a jeopardy dice game, it manages to keep players on the edge of their seat as they try to determine whether to risk it all or to play it safe. Pig can be played virtually anywhere and it only requires one die and something to keep score with, making it a fun and convenient way to pass the time.
The game was introduced by John Scarne, a magician and game developer, in 1945 and it has since been played with a wide range of variants to the original concept. Over the years, there have been a number of commercial productions of Pig, with titles like Skunk and Pig Dice, as well as the most current version, Pass the Pig. It has also served as a fun and useful tool for math teachers who are trying to convey probability concepts to young students and for computer science instructors, as well.
How to Play Basic Pig
Pig requires at least two players and it can, conceivably, be played by as many people as you have available. The only things that you'll need to have are a standard, six-sided die, a piece of paper and something to write with.
Every time that a player rolls in Pig, they have to make a decision about their next move that could cost them the win. If they have rolled any number from a 2 to a 6, they are free to collect points that are equal to the face value of their roll and they can roll again, or they can decide to take the points and hold, handing the die over to the next player. If the player makes the call to decide to roll again and a 1 comes up, the points that they had from their initial roll are taken away, their turn is over, and their score for that round is a zero. For as long as they don't roll a 1 though, the player can continue to throw the dice and to accumulate points. The players take turns this way until one of them reaches 100 points and is declared the winner.
In an example, if a player's first three rolls come up as a 4, a 2, and a 3, and they opt to hold, they will receive nine points for that turn, because 4 + 2 + 3 = 9. If they decided to continue rolling and their fourth throw yielded a 1 on the die however, those nine points would be wiped out and their score for that round would be a zero.
Optimal Play was developed in 2001 as a strategy tool for Pig players. By cross-referencing the player's score, their opponent's score and the total number of points accumulated in the turn so far, a player can determine based on this graph whether they should continue to roll or hold their play.
Pig Game Variations
Due to its uncomplicated rules and score-keeping, there have been many variations on the game intended to make it more challenging or lively. Some games use two or more dice and others make 6 the unwanted number rather than the 1, but they all employ the jeopardy aspect to add to the suspense of the game.
Two-Dice Pig uses most of the same rules as regular Pig, but the addition of the second die can either help or hurt players. If neither of the dice come up as a 1, the player can record the points and roll again or hold, just like in the standard rules game. If they do roll a 1, they'll lose the points accumulated on that turn, also the same as in the regular version. But if the player rolls two 1's, they not only lose the points from that turn, but their whole score for the entire game is wiped clean. If a player rolls any other doubles in Two-Dice Pig, they collect the points from the dice as normal, but they are then required to roll again, thereby jeopardizing their winnings whether they want to or not.
Big Pig operates in much the same way as Two-Dice Pig, but with two big differences. If a player rolls two 1's in this variation, they get to add twenty-five points to their score. Also, if they roll any other doubles, they can add twice the amount of the dice values to their tally.
While Skunk is the name of a commercial game that was based on the same concept as Pig, it is also the name of a popular variation on the original game format. Skunk, also often referred to as Think, is a variation on Pig that is intended to be played by larger groups. Players in this version don't role as individuals. They all begin the round standing and the dice are thrown by one person or by players taking turns, but every role of the dice belongs to every player who is standing. At any point in the round, a player can hold and collect their points by sitting down. The round goes on until all of the players are seated, or until a 1 is rolled. If that happens, anyone still standing loses all of their points for that round and their score is recorded as a zero. Skunk continues for five rounds and the scores are recorded in columns that are labeled S, K, U, N and K. At the end of the five rounds, the player with the highest score is named the winner.
All of these variations on the game and the ease with which most people can pick it up and play it have made Pig a popular and versatile game for families and parties, or for simply killing time. Thanks to its quick pace and the need for a little luck paired with some basic strategy in order to win, Pig is still a dice game with a lot of dedicated fans.

They're also heavy and have high rolling resistance.
I love this quote from the article:
"Anyone who's ever had a puncture far from home knows how frustrating it can be. Imagine then, how annoying popping a tyre on the moon could be."

OP... That IS old the lunar rover wheel. Newscientist originally posted the wrong image.
P.S. tell your friend, he posted the same thing you did.
Puncture proof tyre from NASA
This is the new rover wheel. The difference is that the new rover wheel is made of a bunch of springs. It adds 90 horsepower.

Man shot with baby in car at 27th and Lyndale in Minneapolis
MINNEAPOLIS (KMSP) - Minneapolis police have confirmed a man was shot inside of a car Thursday afternoon near the intersection of 27th Avenue N. and Lyndale Avenue N. The shooting was reported just before 2 p.m. Thursday.
Police said 4 people were inside the car at the time of the shooting, including a baby. The shooting victim was taken to North Memorial Medical Center, where he is in critical condition. No other passengers were injured.
The shooting victim was inside this car, along with three others. pic.twitter.com/C6UhKGSswd— Ted Haller (@TedHallerFox9) October 15, 2015
This is the second shooting in the neighborhood in the past 24 hours. At 6:20 p.m. Wednesday, a fight at 30th Avenue N. and Emerson Avenue N. led to a deadly shooting.
Chief Janeé Harteau's statement on recent violence
"I continue to be concerned about the recent violence we have seen in our city. We have witnessed too many senseless and tragic deaths. The common denominator in many of the homicides this year, including the 2 most recent homicides and this evening's shooting in Minneapolis, is that people are using guns in the heat of the moment to settle their personal disputes, making it virtually impossible for police to predict or prevent these acts. I can assure you we have teams out looking for the perpetrators of this violence. I urge anyone with information on these homicides or shootings to step forward and help us make arrests to provide justice for the families of the victims."


text: Right. I understand that I paid the penalty for paying all at once (2000). But when I called the IRS to ask them what the penalty was for, they pulled up my records FOR THIS YEAR and noticed that I paid one amount in the 1st quarter and then paid an even larger amount for the 2nd quarter (2001). That is when the IRS guy told me that NOT paying the same (equal) amounts for EACH quarter was a no-no and I would need to send a 1022 along with my 1040 to straighten it out. Maybe he was a trainee and just as confused as I ...heheheh. Now I know that I should just pay the 4 equal amounts (based on last years income-and figured by my accountant) and put what I have extra into a interest bearing account and pay any balance I owe with it in April. No sense in giving the government money they I can use to make some interest on it..... My accountant is going to figure the difference in tax for me in November and I'll use that figure when buying some new equipment in December...in order to reduce my tax liability for April. Thanks again.

There has been a whole boat load of hysteria flying around the last few days, and to be honest I have stay out of it because I have seen all this before, and surprisingly enough Google is pretty good at weeding out the diamonds from the crap.
Even though the update is only a few days in to affect there have been wild accusations of a failing Hubpages, writers being made destitute, etc etc, and yes, some legit writers may have been hit hard by this.
However I would like you all to take a Quick glance at this comparison to last years traffic, and maybe take a little solice that even from only ONE data range, the traffic drop we have seen is actually not at all that unsual. COnsidering the Google ranking algorithm has probably been reset to some degree we will naturally be seeing some weird ranking changes, but for the google spider to crawl and rerank trillions of websites, we should probably give it the benefit of the doubt for a day or two.
One important thing I would to point out here is that the entire year seems to be a day or two behind in terms of traffic, therefore I am expecting to see an actual rise in traffic beginnign today, taking me back to previous levels (based on traffic comparisson alone). Only time will tell if that will pan out, but I am already seeing a little boost in traffic today
I think what I am trying to say is that even witht he ranking algorythm changes, what I am actually seeing here is a fairly normal month of February with very little change in seasonal traffic.
Please can I ask what that graph shows as Quantcast figures show a huge drop? Like a cliff.
Are you comparing the quantcast figures from this year and last year?
This is my Hubpages traffic, a comparisson between this year and last year for the last 30 days.
Oh I see, thanks.
I'm comparing Hubpage traffic to three days ago. It fell off a cliff.
I'm also comparing it to Squidoo. They didn't.
It has been updated for today.
Would you say that the drop in traffic could represent a lot of the lower quality content on the site getting dropped?
With all due respect, my google.com traffic at Hubpages is trashed across most hubs. While my overall search engine trend looks somewhat okay for HubPages, it is just about all from non google.com (ie google.co.uk, goole.fr etc.). When these roll-out, I don't know what to expect for HubPages.
I've got a large portfolio of seasonally diverse hubs, and usually don't get hit during school vacation weeks. This is very different than that past two years.
That's my non-paniced, non-hysterical perspective. I've been reducing my exposure at HubPages for several months now, so working on my own websites today, is really what I've been doing for several months.
My hubs will remain in place and I'll see what the full algo roll-out looks like over the next few months, before I write any new hubs.
I can only reference what I observe, and my Google traffic and Google SERPs have been hit hard. Very hard.
I haven't logged on here forever, but did after noticing a drop in traffic over the last few days. My views according to HP's statistics page are around 1300, as opposed to 2500 to 3000, most days.
I'm now making $3-$5 a day as opposed to $15-$20 a day through adsense alone. My click values are very low values, too.
I haven't made sales on Amazon for two days (unusual for me).
All I can say is: eeeek! I have been way too busy over the last year to keep writing because my classes are so writing intensive. Nevertheless, my income continued to grow and during the holidays, I was greatly rewarded for the work I put in years prior. This income will be greatly missed, although it always seemed to good to be true, anyways! Hopefully this resolves itself so I don't have to get a part-time job!
Oli, I can't compare to last year (I wasn't here), but if my blue graph looked like yours I would be tickled pink.
Instead it fell (correlating to your figures) to around 700 3 days ago, bounced up to 800 and dropped back to 700 yesterday. Extrapolating from now till the end of the day I expect today to be 700, and Sunday/Monday are usually my best days.
I am running at very nearly the same traffic I had in September, when I had half the number of hubs and those were all less than 4 months old, many with no SEO. My best hub has gone from 50+ google.com hits/day to around 10 for the last 3 days (something I haven't seen since 2 days after publishing it). You may not be seeing this kind of drop, but many of us are.
No, there is no reason to panic but if this continues for more than a few more days there is certainly room for great concern.
I'm still getting decent google traffic, but it is, indeed, diminished. After taking a few days to wait and see, my older, more popular articles are doing all right.
Everything I wrote in the last six months seems to have dropped off the face of the earth, though. I'm worried about the ability for newer stuff to ever get a foothold for itself. For my own edification I'm going to write more over the next few weeks than I normally would to see how it fairs compared to similar topics I wrote this time last year.

Yesterday, we posted about one of the coolest news bits I've read in a while. One of the items in Ulduar was named after Phaelia, one of the most respected voices in the Druid blogging community. Phaelia recently chose to put away the keyboard (or her Belkin Nostromo N-52te) to focus on her new baby -- or I should say, her sprouting seed. It's a fitting tribute to one of the game's most helpful players.
Blizzard has been known to insert tributes in-game to the player community, the most notable of whom was Breanni, the mascot of WarcraftPets.com. Breanni was honored with an appropriate NPC in Dalaran selling cool vanity pet-related items. While getting a full-blown NPC named after our characters is probably way out of our league, a nifty in-game item is easier to fantasize about. Blizzard does it all the time, after all, with numerous items named after their employees or their characters, from ice cream to epic shields.
It's daydreaming time. If you were to get an in-game item named after you, what would it be? Give it a name, describe what it can do. I honestly wouldn't mind a gray item myself, as I think many of the coolest stuff in the game are gray. On second thought, a gray would probably be way too cool for me. At best, I'm probably better suited for an "of the Whale" forgettable green. How about you? What would your World of Warcraft item be?

Southfield stabbing investigated as home-grown radical act
Police have arrested the suspect on attempted murder charges but say that religion was behind the attack of a 52-year-old Detroit man and his 51-year-old friend who tried to intervene.
Southfield Police Chief Eric Hawkins said 39-year-old Terrence Thomas thought it was unacceptable that the victims were not Muslims.
"The suspect began stabbing one of the victims," Hawkins said of Thomas, of Detroit, who ran from the scene down Greenfield.
Thomas had two knives when police arrested him. He was later charged with attempted murder.
Both victims were treated and released from a nearby hospital.
Federal investigators are getting involved because the attack is believed to be a hate crime.
"It could constitute a hate crime," said Andy Arena, former Detroit FBI chief. "We have to see what really motivated this guy. You call it home-grown radicals, jihadis, this is really the biggest threat throughout the world right now.
"They are on the Internet, social media, they are hearing this message - and they are becoming radicalized."
Police say Thomas was mentally unstable and had drugs on him at the time of his arrest.
"I don't think there should be a litmus test for crazy Muslims," said Dawud Walid, executive director of Council on American Islamic Relations. "Or as if all Muslims are motivated by religion."
Walid's organization CAIR which fights for Islamic rights, said if this incident is ethnic intimidation, Thomas should be charged accordingly. But he does not think Muslims are more vulnerable when it comes to radicalization.
"Anyone who has not health issues on the fringe can be radicalized, be it, either in a street gang or joining something like an international extremist organization," Walid said. "In this case we have to wait and see what the facts are."
Hawkins said police are not ready to leap to any conclusions yet.
"It's important, especially for members of the Southfield community to understand that as far as we know right now, this was an isolated incident," he said.

Tired Freddy Sittuk out of running to defend Belfast Marathon title
Defending Belfast Marathon champion Freddy Sittuk has dramatically withdrawn from next Monday's Deep RiverRock Belfast Marathon citing tiredness and indifferent recent form.
The 34-year-old Kenyan, who last year recorded a spectacular if unexpected victory by a huge three minute margin, recently ran a 10k road race in which his relatively slow finishing time convinced him that a successful defence of his Belfast title was not a realistic possibility.
But as he is based here from time to time he intends to race again in Ireland in the future.
A fully-fit Sittuk would neverless have been hard pressed to successfully retain his title because of the usual fierce African opposition which has been the hallmark of the Belfast race which is now in its 34th year.
Leading the charge will be last year's runner-up Joel Kipsang who was caught napping by Sittuk when Freddy forged ahead at the halfway point and opened a massive gap which Kipsang could not close.
Four months ago, however, 27-year-old Joel ran a classy time of two hours 12 minutes 37 seconds to secure a fourth place finish in the Israel Marathon which was the venue for his PB time of sub two hours 10 minutes back in 2009.
Kipsang is also a previous winner in Belfast in 2013 when his time of 2.19.28 would have been much faster had he not made a valiant effort to break the course record of 2.13.41.
He may contemplate attempting this again on Monday, weather permitting, when a roll over prize of £3,000 is available for a new record in addition to the winner's award of £3,000.
While Joel is marginal favourite to take his second title, he will need to be wary of a trio of fellow Kenyans, any of whom is capable of winning.
Linus Mayo has a PB of 2.11.34 from Barcelona in 2013 while Gideon Kimosop is part of a Project Africa group currently based in the province.
He has a sub two hours 17 minutes time to his credit while his team-mate Vincent Chepyegon ran 2.18.32 in Frankfurt last October.

The owner of this property was so helpful, responsive and sincere throughout all of my communication with him. We stayed at the condo for three weeks this past summer and would have stayed longer if possible. The condo is impeccably clean and well-maintained, and the linens were freshly laid out and accessible during our stay. The owner was kind enough to keep us abreast of the club's activity schedule each week; we truly felt in the know during our entire stay. I cannot say enough about the view. A perfect sunset awaits each evening from the thoughtfully appointed porch. It was a joy to behold, and we never tired of it. The Peninsula itself is a top-notch beach resort; the owner made our vacation even better.
My family had a wonderful stay at the Peninsula. The condo was beautiful, clean and well-stocked. We enjoyed the modern kitchen and it was so convenient to have two bathrooms. The beds were very comfortable. My children loved the wave pool, the indoor pool and the game room. It was a relaxing and affordable family vacation. We will be back!
The perfect place for a family vacation. Close to everything -- the unit was immaculate and very nicely decorated. Two large bathrooms and a full granite top kitchen made for convenience throughout the stay. The ower was very helpful and responsive. Will recommend to everyone and come back as my wife and kids loved our stay. The only problem is that there was not enough time to do everything!!
Perfect because the owner was so incredibly helpful and easy to deal with and perhaps most importantly, the condo was great! It was clean, well appointed and tastfully decorated. The master bed was very comfortable as was the bed in the second bedroom. Lovely porch to eat dinner on and then either relax with a book or watch new flat screen in the living room.

Chesapeake Bay Retriever Puppies For Sale
The Chesapeake Bay Retriever is a well-rounded sporting dog on land or in water. Known for its assertive nature and general toughness, the "Chessie" makes an incredible hunting dog and loyal companion.
The history of this breed is traced to an 1807 shipwreck off the coast Maryland. Two St. Johns Water Dogs, also known as Lesser Newfoundland, were rescued from the accident and made their homes with people in the bay area. The dogs, one male, one female, had numerous litters with other breeds which eventually led to three different classes of "Ducking Dogs".
In 1878, the Chesapeake Bay Retriever was recognized by the American Kennel Club. The Chesapeake Bay Retriever is one of 56 known canine breeds to originate in the United States. Because of the history linking this breed with the "Old Line State" of Maryland, the state adopted this breed as its State Dog in 1968.
When purchasing a Chesapeake Bay Retriever puppy, it is essential to be aware of all characteristics of this breed. Looking for a puppy to bring into your family is an exciting process, but having the knowledge of what to expect with any dog is the key to successful integration into your family. A puppy is a huge commitment, so being knowledgeable about how to train and care for your Chesapeake Bay Retriever puppy is particularly valuable. For information on these subjects, check our blog or a good book related to this specific dog breed.
Thank you for taking the time to learn about the spirited Chesapeake Bay Retriever. You can take a look at our page below to view all of our Chesapeake Bay Retriever puppies for sale!

I was thinking about how horrible this was and remembered a post by a friend blogger, Jonathan. He shared how life IS fair, no matter what awful things happen. I know life will go on in Hollywood and the music industry. I know these two men will live on in what they have done. I know, in the big picture, this loss doesn't really change much in my own life. Today, however, I am incredibly sad. It is ok to be sad. These men wouldn't mind it at all.
As I convince my guys to watch the Potter movies this weekend (now, this sounds like FUN!) and continue to search for Labyrinth (I did so love that movie!), I will remember and be grateful for the worlds these two peopled.
I will always remember.
"Dumbledore watched her fly away, and as her silvery glow faded he turned back to Snape, and his eyes were full of tears.
"After all this time?"
"Always," said Snape."
And I will continue to HATE cancer.

Retailers' and wholesalers' increasing emphasis on customer service is having an effect on distribution-center design. In this competitive market, warehouses must be built from the ground up with speed and accuracy in mind.
With more product categories being cross docked, for example, warehouse docks need to be wider than before. Docks that used to average 40 to 60 feet in width are now constructed 80 to 100 feet wide to allow for expanded prestaging of products, industry experts told

Well now we have a wonderful flame war going here at the East Bay Express, the principal organ of US foreign policy, but if anyone wants to move in a more fact-based direction, I've found the following sites helpful:
Or, we could continue in the direction of this:
Sure, we can all make nice with North Korea if we become more like them: suspend our belief in human rights, and overlook the terrorism and nuclear weapons. It's all our fault for not understanding these cultural differences.

Project& Fellow Claire Chase to perform Excerpt from Project&'s PAN December 02nd, 2017
Cal Performances presents Project& Fellow Claire Chase at the Berkley Art Museum & Pacific Film Archive.
Chase will premiere and except from PAN, a collaborative commission with Project& and the PAN Creative Team. Through her Density: 2036 project, Chase premieres new commissions of work for solo-flute every year. This December 2nd.
PAN's structure is part of Project&'s core vision of creating models of equitable cultural participation with community and creative collaboration. PAN is an international conversation that crosses borders through the communal creative process.
PAN (taking the sense meaning "all") aims to break new ground in the 21st-century repertory with a work that is as socially meaningful in a given community as it is artistically adventurous in its format-defying approach to the "concert" (acting together, jointly) experience.
Project& Receives Prestigious MacArthur Foundation Documentary Grant
CHICAGO, IL, January 14, 2016 — Today the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation announced a $100,000 grant and partnership with Project& in support of Working in America, which takes an intimate look at how we feel about what most of us do all day long: work. Working in America is a multi-platform documentary initiative chronicling the everyday challenges, triumphs and realities of working (and not working). Within the common thread that everyone has a relationship to work, this powerful visual and audio initiative is inspired by the 40th anniversary of Studs Terkel's influential book, Working, as a springboard for a contemporary conversation about the meaning of work and the physical and psychological realities of working in America today.
As Jane M Saks, President/Artistic Director of Project& and Creator of Working in America explains, "What Studs Terkel understood 40 years ago has exploded onto the mainstage of America: Our ability to work and the value placed on us and our labor significantly defines our sense of identity, dignity, and humanity, and that of our entire country. This initiative gives the changing and complex landscape of working in America the human focus, engagement, and creativity it deserves at a time when we are collectively gearing up for an election that could show what we value (or don't) by voting on the direction of our nation's economy and political future."
Project&'s Working in America is one of only 19 grants awarded for documentary and interactive projects. These grants, totaling nearly $2.5 million, represent MacArthur's largest single-year investment in documentaries. "It was an extremely competitive year," the Foundation states, "We are delighted to include Working in America in this group of outstanding and important documentary and nonfiction multimedia projects."
Working in America includes three components: a nationally traveling photographic exhibition featuring images of veterans, janitors, tech and finance entrepreneurs, farmers, athletes, oil field workers, artists, domestic caregivers and more from across the US captured by Pulitzer-Prize winning photographer and Project& Fellow Lynsey Addario. The exhibition will be designed by renowned architect Jeanne Gang and Studio Gang. Working in America will launch at Chicago's famed Harold Washington Library on Labor Day Weekend 2016 with a series of compelling programs, and the exhibition will travel to city libraries across the US in 2017 and 2018. The initiative also includes "Your Working Story," a dynamic online archive that provides everyone the opportunity to upload images of themselves and their working stories; and Project& will assist local libraries in developing programming and dialogues that ask how we can reimagine work to enhance the dignity and quality of life for individuals, families, communities, and the nation.
Project& has partnered with Radio Diaries to co-produce a radio series titled "Working Then and Now" that will broadcast on National Public Radio's "All Things Considered." Project&—working with The Studs Terkel Radio Archives, Chicago History Museum, and the Library of Congress—has been given unprecedented and exclusive access to the never-before-heard field recordings Terkel conducted for his book. "Working Then and Now" expands on these recordings with current interviews with those he interviewed 40 years ago and with workers today. The radio series will reflect upon the dramatically changing American working landscape, charting the decline of the manufacturing industry and the rise of the "gig economy" alike, knowing that Terkel's research remains more relevant today than ever.
Other key partners in the Working in America initiative include Access Living, exhibition design by Jeanne Gang and Studio Gang Architects, Chicago Public Library, the US Department of Labor, The Center for American Progress, the Chicago History Museum, the Library of Congress, National Domestic Workers Alliance, Rap Sessions, the Shriver Center for Poverty Law, Spark, Women Employed, YOUMedia, and the Reva and David Logan Foundation.
Project& wants to know your working story! What does work mean, look and feel like to you, your friends, and your family? Post your story and you'll have the chance to be featured by Project&! You can do so by tagging Project& in your vintage and/or contemporary photos of working in America and using the hashtag "#workinginamerica."

We're Going to the White House!
Project&, Cheryl Pope and Nathan Diamond are honored to be a part of the White House's efforts to focus on National Youth Justice Awareness Month with programming that features panels, art performances and group discussions on the importance of the arts in building narratives, empowering communities, and furthering youth justice.
Cheryl Pope and the Chicago poets of JUST YELL/POETRY as SELF DEFENSE are teaming up with Nathan Diamond and poets from Washington D.C. to head to our nation's capital. Along with Jane M. Saks of Project&, they will participate in the daylong event:
Justice and Opportunity: The Power of the Arts
A Focus on Juvenile Justice
The White House | October 14, 2015
Innovative visual artist and the 2015 recipient of a 3Arts Award, Cheryl Pope, and Nathan Diamond, Director of the Arts in the District of Columbia's Public Schools, have designed a provoking program that brings forward the voices of youth today from Chicago and DC responding to issues of juvenile justice. Opening the day with a raw collaborative performance reminiscent of jazz improvisation, the Chicago and DC poets will share their experiences with urban violence and the judicial system. The voices of incarcerated youth will become entangled with these stories, providing a multi-vocal response to the issues of juvenile justice that impact the lives of young people across this country.
"When an adult slows down and genuinely listens to the voices of youth today," Pope explains, "the experience is transformative."
At the invitation of the White House, Project& President and Artistic Director, Jane M. Saks, will participate on a panel on the ability of art and culture to create necessary and difficult dialogues and have social impact.
"To be part of the White House's efforts focused on Juvenile Justice and the Arts is a powerful opportunity to collaborate with Cheryl, Nathan and young, fierce artists using their own voices to express their own lives," notes Saks. "Just Yell/Poetry as Self Defense illustrates the phenomenal power of the arts to ask the challenging questions and force us to listen, re-imagine ourselves and our world beyond what we have before."

What was announced in Budget 2017
Chancellor of the Exchequer, Philip Hammond delivered his Budget to Parliament on 8 March 2017. Here we highlight some of the key announcements that may impact you.
Income tax
Changes expected to income tax bands from this April, have now been set in stone - an increase in the amount of income you can receive before paying higher rate tax of £1,500 to £33,500. In addition the normal personal allowance - the amount you can receive before paying income tax- is still set to increase to £11,500 from April 2017. Adding these together you could receive up to £45,000 before paying higher rate tax.
If you are a Scottish Rate tax payer your Personal Allowance is the same as well as your rate of income tax. However, the amount you can earn before paying higher rate tax will be £31,500 (totalling £43,000).
In this budget the Chancellor announced that is still on track to increase the Personal Allowance to £12,000 by 2020.
It's worth considering carefully what you might do with any extra income!
The Government is planning to make changes to the amount you can pay into pension, before being liable to a tax charge, if you access benefits flexibly (known as the Money Purchase Annual Allowance). For the current tax year this is £10,000 - this will reduce to £4,000 for the 2017/18 tax year. If you think you might be affected by this, you should speak to your financial adviser as there are tax consequences if this affects you and you exceed this allowance. Find more information about the Money Purchase Annual Allowance and how it may affect you.
The Government is considering changing how the State Pension Age is set in future and any is expected to put forward proposals to Parliament in May. This may be important in future as you plan your retirement.
The Chancellor will increase the tax charge on pension transfers to overseas pension schemes (known as Qualifying Recognised Overseas Pension Scheme). If you are considering this option you should seek financial advice before taking any action.
The Government is getting much stricter with schemes which aggressively avoid tax - in this budget the Chancellor has announced that it will introduce further penalties for advisers and others involved in creating these.
If you are receiving dividends, you'll probably be aware that from last April, the Government introduced a tax-free dividend allowance - meaning that the first £5,000 of any dividends received will be tax free. From April 2018 this will reduce to £2,000. So, if you are receiving dividends from shares, you'll need to consider if this reduced allowance will affect you.
The Chancellor also confirmed that it plans to launch the new Lifetime Individual Savings Account (LISA) from this April. LISA will be available to investors between the age of 18 and 40. For more information on the Lifetime ISA visit Gov.uk.
Small business
If you are self-employed, you may be pleased to hear that introduction of quarterly reporting for business below VAT registration threshold, has been put back by a year - this may help to reduce your paper work next year. You should speak to an accountant about this.
If you are running a business and will lose business rate relief, you may still benefit from an extra 'cap' - meaning that your business rates will increase by no more than £50 a month. Local councils will also have additional funding to use at their discretion, so it's worth making enquiries.
If you are running a business you may be receiving dividends. If so, you'll probably be aware that from last April, the Government introduced a tax-free dividend allowance - meaning that the first £5,000 of any dividends received will be tax free. From April 2018 this is expected to reduce to £2,000. So, if you are receiving dividends from shares, you'll need to consider if this reduced allowance will affect your bottom line income.
It was announced in last year's Autumn Statement that Corporation Tax, which is a tax only paid by companies, will fall to 19% from this April. In this budget the Chancellor has confirmed that this rate will fall again by 2020 to 17%. In addition the Chancellor announced a number of incentives available to all businesses including additional funding for the private sector to invest in full-fibre broadband networks.
Changes announced in Autumn Statement 2016
- A new Savings Bond will be available through National Savings & Investment (NS&I) attracting an interest of 2.2% will be available to savers aged 16 and over from April 2017. Information is limited at the moment but savers will be expected to invest for three years with a maximum limit of £3,000.
- As previously announced, ISA limits will increase from £15,240 to £20,000 in April 2017. The government made no mention of the Lifetime Savings ISA (LISA).
- The Money Purchase Annual Allowance (MPAA) will be reduced to £4,000 (currently £10,000). Find out more about MPAA on our Tax and Allowances page.
- The Personal Savings Allowance introduced in April 2016 introducing 0% tax on interest received of up to £1,000 (basic rate tax payers) and £500 (higher rate tax payers) of interest remains unchanged in the next tax year. Additional rate tax payers (paying Income Tax at 45%) will receive no allowance.
- The higher rate Income Tax threshold (before you pay tax at 40% ) is planned to gradually increase to £50,000 by 2020. From next April, you will be able to earn up to £45,000 before you pay higher rate tax. The threshold may be different if you reside in Scotland.
- Employees will no longer receive tax savings on certain goods and services bought under Salary Sacrifice schemes and 'Benefits in Kind' from April 2017. However, pensions, childcare and some travel such as ultra-low emission cars and cycles will be unaffected. Salary Sacrifice schemes set up before April 2017 will be unaffected.
- Tax avoidance schemes will face greater penalties including those who recommend these illegal schemes.
- Insurance Premium Tax will rise from the current 10% to 12% from June 2017.
- Non-UK pension schemes will be required to align with UK pension rules.
- The triple lock guarantee in basic State pension will be retained in the next tax year (in line with the higher of increases in Consumer Price Index, National Average Earnings Index and 2.5%).
- Greater focus on tackling pensions scams and new regulations from the Financial Conduct Authority will ban cold calling for pension sales.
- The National Living Wage will rise to £7.50 from the current £7.20 from April 2017. Different amounts will apply to those aged between 16 and 24 and apprentices.
- Letting agent fees in England to be banned "as soon as possible".
- The earnings taper reduction which reduces your entitlement to Universal Credit, based on your income, will reduce from 65p to 63p for £1 of income.
- Fuel duty has once again been frozen.
- Insurance rules around 'whiplash claims' will be reviewed (although exact details are not known).

These are the Claires! Maybe the title ruins the surprise, but besides being a gorgeous family, the Claires run Claire Family Farms, which includes a number of small farms and organic groves around Moreno Valley, Highland and Redlands, CA. They focus primarily on strawberries, citrus, avocados, and pumpkins, all of which we have used in the creation of our products. The Claires are the kind of people who inspire us at N7; they are constantly looking for new ways and opportunities to not only farm responsibly, but to include their immediate community in the process as often as possible.
We took a trip out to the Claire's avocado farm back in November of 2014. Calvin took us on a tour of the groves that afternoon and shared a little bit about his farm and his vision for the future of farming on the trip.
Calvin's farms are almost entirely in the harsh desert environment of the Santa Ana River Basin. Most of his farms have, or will have had, complete irrigation, vegetation, and soil overhauls between the time he took possession of them and the time he finally harvests its first crop. This process isn't simple. As a small family farm, every member of his family has had to make sacrifices in order to overcome seasonal dependency, the high cost of farm certification, regional governmental sectioning, and the constant fight against mechanical equipment. But unlike most of us, this doesn't phase the Claires. In fact, you might say they relish it. Seeing their eyes light up at the thought of more open irrigation or the opportunity to start growing blueberries ignites a passion in your own heart that starts to change the way you imagine farming in the future.
Prior to choosing the life of a humble farmer, Calvin served his community as a fire fighter for the forest service. During his career he witness and the life and death of many of his brother and sisters who put their life on the line to save ours. While the amazing products he grows are what brought him to us, it is his long history of dedication to improving his community and country that endeared him to us. Seeing Calvin at work restoring the land that made this country the bread basket of the world is amazing.
What Calvin does to a plot of land is a long and arduous process. Aside from all of the painful ownership and property classification processes, the Claires always start with making sure the soil is perfect. Through regional relocation and tender care, Calvin and his crew take dry, hard-packed, rocky soil and make it suitable for healthy plants. They ensure that the soil is completely free of pesticides and unnatural chemicals so that none of their food is compromising to the people that consume it. Next is the irrigation. Calvin is currently working to bring back natural surge furrow irrigation, which is to flood a specific series of rows or 'furrows' to partially cover the ground in nutrient filled small 'ponds.' This results in an essentially more primal plant that is closer to following the usual means of water consumption; i.e. searching out concentrations of water between rainfalls. Last, to be addressed is the vegetation. Most of the produce the Claires grow have actually become natives of the San Bernardino Valley, avocados originally from Pasadena, oranges that have growth for ages in Redlands, and do you remember the pumpkin patches that always had the towers of hay bales? that's Calvin, and he intends to keep it that way.
Calvin is a laid back, genuine Californian, through and through. He gets excited imagining a future where farms everywhere put the same effort into local farming as he and his family do. We happen to have one of the most fertile regions in the entire country at our disposal and as a result, we have more potential for varied premium farmland than anywhere else. He has plans to slowly move his ownership of farms across the state, and eventually plans to run a conglomerate of farms that exclusively serve restaurants in the surrounding area to dramatically increase the availability of fresh produce that is signature to each farm's location. This is how farming should be done: on a small, locally focused scale, benefiting their community and overall nutritional value of their food.
That's why N7 uses Claire Family Farms; we want to support the same dream. It's only because of farmers like Calvin and his family that we're able to accomplish the goals of locally sourced, responsibly grown, ethically harvested, and all natural foods. This is why N7 is planning to involve itself heavily in the fulfillment of their goals. As the Claires move through Southern California, so will we, providing delicious treats from their equally more delicious ingredients. Look for Calvin's oranges in our Valencia Marmalade Ice Cream and his other produce in upcoming seasonal products (like avocado ice cream, maybe?) for years to come.
To see more photos of their farm, visit Devon Vp's post about his visit to the farm.

The purpose of doing this study was to find out if the distance from Dallas, TX affects the amount of mercury found in dragonfly larvae. The hypothesis stated that if we were to test if the distance from Dallas, TX (the state with the most mercury emissions) affected the mercury content in dragonfly larvae, then we would find the national parks farthest from Dallas would have the lowest mercury content in their dragonfly larvae, and the parks closest the most. We hypothesized that this would be the case because the mercury would not be carried far before wet and dry deposition would settle the mercury. According to the data table and graph evidence our hypothesis was supported because the distance from factories does affect the mercury levels in dragonfly larvae. The line on the graph shows that the distance from factories slopes upward; the line that represents mercury levels shows a lot of downwards fluctuation. Park ROMO is 861 miles away from Dallas, Texas. There is an average mercury level of 251 ppb there. Park DENA is 3,112 miles away and there is a significant difference decreasefrom ROMO. The average level here is 121 ppb. Errors or limitations that occurred during this study were we only had a few national parks andwe didn't determine distance from an exact point in the park. When gathering information, someone may have contaminated the data. Also another limitation is the fact that distance is not the only variable affecting mercury concentration. One more limitation would be there are other factories that are located in other places besides Texas that could affect the study. When we analyzed the data the results supported our hypothesis. The farther away you are from the factories in Dallas, Texas the less mercury you will find in dragonfly larvae. The closer you are to factories, the more likely you will be more exposed to mercury. Some suggestions would be to look at data that has more national parks to chose from and to look at data that has information that was recorded over multiple years. The data we used was only one from one year. Also it would be interesting to use data that has findings from other countries. It would help this study if there was variation in the kinds of data used.
Before conducting our research, our group came up with a hypothesis. We stated that if we were to test if the distance from Dallas, TX (the state with the most mercury emissions) affected the mercury content in dragonfly larvae, then we would find the national parks farthest from Dallas would have the lowest mercury content in their dragonfly larvae, and the parks closest the most. We hypothesized that this would be the case because the mercury would not be carried far before wet and dry deposition would settle the mercury, making the parks closest to Dallas home to the highest mercurylevels.
Amount of Mercury in Dragonfly Nymphs Compared to Distance from Dallas, Texas
Coal-fired power plants release the element mercury into the air. According to the USCUSA, 175 pounds of mercury are emitted each year from one coal burning factory. When this Mercury settles, either through wet or dry deposition, it can have hazardous consequences on the ecosystems and humans in the area. This information lead our group to a question; does the distance from coal-fired factories affect the mercury content in dragonfly larvae? Dragonflies are sensitive to their habitat, making them our preferred specimens for our study. Through analyzing the mercury content in dragonflies, our group was able to determine if the areas closest to coal-fired power plants were at a higher risk of mercury poisoning. We drew our data from national parks. In 2009 there were 1,436 coal-utilizing factories in the United States. The bulk of these factories were in the Midwest, Pennsylvania, and Texas making those areas the leaders in Mercury emissions. The state that is home to the most mercury emissions is Texas, followed by Pennsylvania and Ohio. The mortality effects from existing power plants places the most deaths in the Midwest and directly to the East. This information corresponds with the weather patterns of the Eastern United States. As of 2011 Ohio and Indiana were home to the greatest capacity of coal-fired power plants in the country; wind patterns show that the mercury produced by these plants then would have traveled East towards the area of Pennsylvania and Virginia. This relationship is corroborated by the deaths caused by power plant pollution, which places the most deaths in the same region. Another area of the country where the relationship of wind patterns and power plant induced deaths is evident is the power plants in Texas. Wind patterns from Texas show that the pollutants from the power plants would skim the top of Louisiana and then cut through the center to Northern part of Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia. The pollution-induced deaths in Florida, Louisiana, and the Southern parts of Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia are next to nothing, pollutants from Texas would not travel here, but the northern parts of Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia suddenly contain quite a few more deaths than the rest of the region..
National Parks
We arranged all of our data into a table to present it more clearly. The graph shows how the further away the National Park was from Dallas Texas, the less mercury was in the dragonfly larvae and the closer they were the more mercury in the larvae..

Materials and Methods
Our dragonfly nymph information was collected from students around the U.S.A. from different schools including the Pogue in Woodstock Vermont. All of the samples were sent to labs to test how much mercury (ppb) was in the sample. All of the Nymphs were caught from their natural habitat like streams and rivers. The University of Maine, and Dartmouth College tested our data.

Hi! Bonjour! Hallo. Two Small Potatoes are Travis and Carrie, two American expats originally from North Idaho, now "ex-potatoes" living in Germany.
What's our story?
Waaayyyy back in the day, the two of us were born at different cabins in the boondocks of northern Idaho less than 60 miles apart as a crow flies.
Though we wouldn't meet for a few years yet, we've known each other since we were knee-high to a grasshopper. We spent the endless long hot summers swimming in the Saint Maries River and traipsing through heavenly scented pine forests. After moving away to attend different colleges, we realized two small potatoes were better than one.
Travel, a need for adventure, and a love of the outdoors are the glue that bind us together.
Together we share a love of travel, adventure, and the outdoors. True to our roots, we always do it on a shoestring budget. If we won the lotto, we'd still prefer camping in the tules in grizzly-infested woods with grizzly-sized mosquitoes to any 5-star hotel. Sorry Paris, the Hilton's just not for us.
Moving overseas once you've put down roots is insanely hard, but it can be done. You won't regret it. Probably.
After living for years in Washington State, several months in Alaska and Costa Rica, and then a spectacular year in the Southwest, we landed in Oregon for nearly 7 years while Travis completed his PhD. We bought a house, put down roots, accumulated pets, and spent all our free time kayaking, camping, and exploring the outdoors from the Canadian border down through California. If you haven't been to Oregon and you love the outdoors, it should be on your list.
Seriously, what are you doing right now? GO to Oregon!
Sniffle – we miss you, Oregon.
After Trav graduated in 2013, we spent 3 weeks traveling from Sweden to Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, and the UK for a series of job interviews. In May, he accepted a job offer at the University of Fribourg in Switzerland, land of chocolate, wine, and cheese. I resigned from my job of almost 7 years as a social worker, we put our house up for rent with no plans to move back to Oregon, sold our cars, all of our furniture, and most of our belongings, packed up a few boxes to be shipped, said goodbye to friends and family, and crammed what we could into 2 suitcases and 3 pet crates.
Some sad times are in store for Two Small Potatoes.
Once in Switzerland, we found a beautiful home in the countryside to rent, furnished it with secondhand items, started learning French, and made some life-long friends. Then, after less than nine months in Switzerland and just when we'd adjusted to life with the constant tinkling of cow bells, we were informed that Trav's employer wouldn't be unable to honor his original job offer due to some sketchy reasons we won't discuss here, resulting in "Two 'Unemployed' Small Potatoes In Switzerland."
Germany comes to the rescue.
Luckily Travis was offered a new biology post-doc research position at the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry in Göttingen. With a mixture of sadness and excitement, we tearfully said goodbye to Switzerland and relocated again, this time just across the border. We're again slowly adjusting to life in a new country with a new language (why couldn't we have lived in the German-speaking part of Switzerland?!), new laws, new food (the apfeltaschen are scrumptious), and thankfully, a budget more akin to ours in Oregon.
We don't know how long we'll live in Germany or where we'll end up next, but hopefully you'll follow #rollwithus as these Two Small Potatoes keep on rollin' 'round the world!
As the dust settles on this new big change for us, we're looking forward to returning to doing what we've always loved to do: traveling, meeting interesting people, seeking out adventure wherever we go, exploring the outdoors – especially by kayak, and sharing our experiences with others. Hopefully if you're reading this, you'll see that if Two Small Potatoes from a tiny logging community in North Idaho can move to Europe and travel the world, anyone can.
