Statistical Sampling and Validity
Statistical Methodology Design and Critique
Given that statistics is sometimes as much art as science, statisticians often disagree on the most appropriate method to use to analyze data, even if the desired results are precisely the same. In order to resolve such disputes, Precision Consulting often provides detailed third party reports on optimal methodology design, including comments about the validity and reliability of the existing model. To do this effectively, it is insufficient to simply have a statistical understanding of the topic at hand, and rather requires an intuitive understanding as well. In this way, we can help bridge the gap between statistics and real-life, and the methodology critique will reflect not only statistical shortfalls, but also intuitive ones.
Once the basic structure and general aims are finalized, we can perform tests on standard model reliability and statistical power features. Importantly, a good statistical methodology will have broad reliability and validity, be robust under changes in underlying assumptions, and have high statistical power without sacrificing confidence level. Precision Consulting will then be able to provide the client with a full report about any shortcomings of the model, give the client suggestions for potential improvements, and defend this opinion in court.
Subsample Selection Criteria and Validity
Our team has helped dozens of firms with settling or mediating statistical disputes over subsample validity, and also with pre-emptive subsample selection (to minimize the likelihood of dispute). Since it is rarely possible to gather and test data on the full population of desired samples, it is necessary to both correctly specify the subsample to be tested, and to be able to defend that methodology in court.
One of the issues that we see repeatedly in our expert testimony work is the issue of minimum required sample size. In order to estimate the needed sample size for a prospective study, we would conduct a statistical power analysis to determine a minimum sample size, and then would randomly select the sample from the population to meet the criteria determined in the power analysis (whether with or without stratification). There are several other major considerations we consider when doing a power analysis for sample size determination, including:
- The general approach to determining sample size assumes that a simple random sample is the sampling design. More complex designs, e.g., stratified random samples, must take into account the variances of subpopulations, strata, or clusters before an estimate of the variability in the population as a whole can be made.
- The sample size should be appropriate for the analysis that is planned. In addition, an adjustment in the sample size may be needed to accommodate a comparative analysis of subgroups. Also, skewed distributions can result in serious departures from normality even for moderate size samples, causing the need for a larger sample.
In the event that the data analysis has already been run, but there is a dispute about the validity of the subsample, a similar analysis is done, but in reverse. While the prior analysis was an 'A Priori' Power Analysis, the subsequent one is a 'Post-Hoc' Power Analysis. The sample demographic and descriptive characteristics are rigorously compared to the population to check for discrepancies, and the effective 'power' of the results is computed.
We understand the importance and necessity of confidentiality, and provide all of our prospective clients with a Non-Disclosure Agreement immediately upon contact. This ensures you that your information will not be shared with any third parties, and your consultation with us is completely confidential.

It's MORNING EDITION, from NPR News. I'm Steve Inskeep.
It's been 20 years since four white police officers were acquitted in the beating of Rodney King. A riot soon erupted in Los Angeles. And before it was over, more than 50 people were killed and nearly 2,000 injured. Those who want to understand that violence include students too young to remember it. NPR's Carrie Kahn listened to discussions in L.A. schools.
CARRIE KAHN, BYLINE: Most history books used in L.A. schools end at the civil rights era of the 1950s and '60s. So 11th grade history teacher Anthony Lawson, who himself was 10 at the time of the riots, has to improvise.
ANTHONY LAWSON: All right, ladies and gentlemen, good morning. I need your attention please.
KAHN: Lawson teaches at Animo Locke High, a charter school. Everyone in the class is 16 or 17, black or Latino and live in the neighborhood, which is not far from the flashpoint of the riots.
LAWSON: What caused people to riot? Mauricio, I see you in the back.
KAHN: The answers start flying: hatred, injustice, racism. Lawson shoots back: Were the rioters reacting to those causes, or were they just selfishly breaking the law? Monica Revelo says all the rioters did was just destroy their own community.
MONICA REVELO: What do you get out of it?
KAHN: For classmate Artesia Cox, it's about being angry and being heard.
ARTESIA COX: You get noticed.
REVELO: But not in a good way.
COX: It's just publicity.
REVELO: You act like animals, so they're going to treat you like one.
COX: They already did.
KAHN: These students say the conditions where they live, where the riots hit, haven't changed much at all. For Delshone Patton, the gangs are still a problem.
DELSHONE PATTON: People are still be going out and shooting kids for no reasons. Like, you've got a seven-year-old got killed before. Five-year-olds get killed.
KAHN: And Manuel Amaya says economic conditions keep getting worse.
MANUEL AMAYA: A lot of things like poverty are still existing around here. A lot of liquor stores haven't been taken down. A lot of things that oppressed us back then are still like - we still see them today.
KAHN: Twenty miles west of Locke at Pacific Palisades Charter High School, the same topics - poverty and racial tensions - are discussed. The setting, though, couldn't be more different though. Pali High sits on a bluff just blocks from the beach, surrounded by the Santa Monica Mountains and million dollar homes.
CHRIS LEE: I'm going to give you some current facts about Los Angeles. And I want you to compare these at the time of the riots to now.
KAHN: Chris Lee is the teacher. This is an honors economics class.
LEE: And see if you can make any conclusions or maybe predictions or any...
KAHN: Lee's students are a mix of races and incomes, and come from all over L.A. But in these pristine surroundings, poverty is taught from handouts. Omeed Atlaschi raises his hand first.
OMEED ATLASCHI: What I notice in the third graph was that the median household income for black and Latino people over the past 20 years has risen to the point where it was 20 years ago for white people.
LEE: OK. But although everyone's income level has gone up, the gap between them has doubled.
KAHN: Students move the discussion deeper. They want to talk about racism. Amy Dersh, who is white, says outside of school, she gets stared at when she's hanging out with black friends.
AMY DERSH: I don't know. I've noticed, you know, when I'm out and about with them, that we get looks. Like - and if I'm with, like, let's say a black boy and we're holding hands, especially, we get looks then.
KAHN: Another white student says when he walks into the local pharmacy, his black friend has to leave his backpack at the door. Mr. Lee tries to get the students to talk about preventing another riot. Most agree the answer is getting to know each other better. Maddie Hausberg says having more integrated schools like Pali High would help.
MADDIE HAUSBERG: I think that if everybody in Los Angeles, every school had this kind of education with different kids from different neighborhood, different races, then I think that's one of the first things to prevent riots from happening.
KAHN: That message of racial and economic harmony was a bit harder to find back in South L.A. at Animo Locke High School. Students agree that everyone should pitch in, work together to build up the neighborhood. But they also said it's hard to rise out of poverty when it's gone on for decades.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: We're getting more poverty places across the country. I'm just saying. If there's going to be riots here now, I think it could spread onto everywhere. I think that...
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: And then if it goes that way, it wouldn't be more of a riot. It wouldn't be called a riot anymore. It would be called a revolution.
KAHN: Teacher Anthony Lawson says he hopes for so much more for his students, and if their future is to be brighter, he says they need to know what happened in their community 20 years ago.

SAN DIEGO ---- Unionized health care workers began a 24-hour strike in San Diego Tuesday as part of a work stoppage at 160 Kaiser Permanente facilities statewide.
Walkouts involved about 80 Kaiser Permanente facilities in Southern California, including the medical center at 4647 Zion Ave. in San Diego's Allied Gardens neighborhood, said Leighton Woodhouse, a spokesman for the National Union of Healthcare Workers, which is organizing the strike.
The union represents 200 of Kaiser's 8,000 employees in San Diego, including audiologists, dieticians, health educators, social workers, speech pathologists and mental health therapists.
Kaiser issued a statement saying it was implementing "comprehensive contingency plans" to ensure continued care and patient safety and that all facilities would remain open during any work stoppage.
"We recognize the NUHW's legal right to conduct a strike, but we believe the bargaining table is the best place to resolve differences, and regardless of any strike activity, we continue to seek meaningful dialogue and negotiate in good faith; we hope to reach an agreement soon," according to Kaiser.
The union said the walkouts are in response to Kaiser's proposal to cut health care and retirement benefits for thousands of NUHW members that the nonprofit HMO employs statewide, including about 2,500 in Southern California.
The NUHW is also unhappy with what union officials contend are chronic staffing deficiencies at Kaiser facilities and excessive compensation packages given to top executives at a time when Kaiser has imposed rate increases on hundreds of thousands of California policyholders.
"We're standing up for our patients and we're standing up for ourselves," one of the strikers, Sarah Eberst, told NBC San Diego.
Another employee, Robin Kastner, told 10News that it wasn't fair for Kaiser's top executives to share all the company's profits.
"We're the ones providing the care, we're the ones taking care of the patients," Kastner said.
The NUHW, which has 4,000 members employed by Kaiser statewide, staged similar walkouts at Kaiser facilities last September.
According to the union, another 17,000 registered nurses with the California Nurses Association and another 650 members of the Stationary Engineers Local 39, all in Northern California, would be picketing at Kaiser medical centers in sympathy with the NUHW.
The NUHW gave Kaiser 10 days notice of the job action, Woodhouse said, allowing the company to make arrangements to mitigate patient risk.
"That said, it's not going to be business as usual in these facilities. The strike is going to be disruptive," he said.
The walkout was scheduled to end Wednesday at 6 a.m.

Desoto, Texas (PressExposure) September 20, 2011 -- Betty Floyd, chief financial officer of Warrior Group, is one of 21 finalists in the Dallas Business Journal's annual CFO of the Year recognition program. A panel of past honorees and industry representatives selected the finalists based on their contributions to their companies, to the finance profession and to the Dallas and Fort Worth communities.
Floyd has been CFO of Warrior Group, a DeSoto-based general contractor that serves public and private commercial construction customers, since 2006. She has been a driving force behind improvements in many facets of the company, including credit rating, human resources and internet technologies. Floyd's focus on risk management, process improvement and controls enabled Warrior Group to increase in annual revenues by five times within two years of her joining the company.
"Betty Floyd guided Warrior Group through years of extraordinary growth, establishing effective practices and procedures to manage the financial and other facets of the company in times of rapid change and expansion," said Gail Warrior, chief executive officer, Warrior Group. "Subsequently, as economic conditions changed, she has helped the company adjust to different financial conditions. Betty has worked to help Warrior Group to stay on track and reposition itself for growth as the construction sector improves. She continues to strive for excellence while ensuring that the company's assets are protected and that is why she deserves to be CFO of the Year."
Betty Floyd's financial guidance and management has enabled Warrior Group to become one of the leading construction companies offering permanent modular construction (PMC) and enabled the company to play a major role in the transformation of the PMC industry as a whole. The company is a leader in the Modular Building Institute, the key industry trade group, and constantly promotes the monetary, environmental and quality benefits of PMC. As a result of Warrior Group's innovation, PMC is an evolved construction method that rivals site-only construction in durability, lifespan and appearance and also offers many green, sustainable features. Warrior Group has helped expand the adoption of PMC for many applications, including school buildings, dormitories, laboratories, military residences, administrative offices, hospitals and clinics.
Floyd contributes to the North Texas community by leading the organizing committee for the annual Celebrity Golf Tournament benefiting the Heat of a Warrior Foundation (HOAW). This event is a major fundraiser for HOAW. To date, four Celebrity Golf Tournaments have attracted more than 150 golfers each year and raised more than $300,000 for the foundation. The mission of HOAW is to help less advantaged children overcome learning loss during the summer months.
"Research has determined that the lack of high-quality activities and educational studies causes students, especially in lower-income households, to fall behind after the summer break," said Warrior. "Every summer, HOAW sponsors the Young Warrior Learning Institute to provide disadvantaged students with hands-on tutoring to help them improve their basic skills in math, science and language and also provides enrichment field trips that add to their quality-of-life experiences. Betty works tirelessly each year to make the Celebrity Golf Tournament, the main fundraiser for HOAW, a great success."
The finalists and winners of the CFO of the Year program will be celebrated at a luncheon on October 20 at the Hyatt Regency Dallas.

Sports Illustrated named Drew Brees Sportsman of the Year.
It is encouraging to see Pro athletes like Drew using the platform God gave them to help others.
God bless, Lou
By Tim Layden, Sports Illustrated
For not only leading the New Orleans Saints to the first Super Bowl title in the franchise's history, but also for helping lead the city of New Orleans' rebirth after the tragedy of Hurricane Katrina, quarterback Drew Brees is the recipient of Sports Illustrated's 57th Sportsman of the Year award. Brees will be honored at a ceremony Tuesday evening in New York City.
The SI award comes as Brees and the Saints have won four consecutive games and, with an 8-3 record, moved solidly into playoff contention in defense of the championship they won a year ago in Miami. Brees, 31, was the MVP of that Super Bowl game, but he wins SI's highest honor for much more than just his ability to play football.
Nearly five years ago, in the early spring of 2006, Brees was a broken player. After surgery to repair a catastrophic shoulder injury, the Saints were the only team that offered to make him their starting quarterback. Meanwhile, New Orleans was a desperate city, trying to find traction after one of the worst natural disasters in U.S. history. Brees would later say his landing in New Orleans was much more than just an athlete's change of venue. "It was a calling,'' he said. "We were brought here for a reason.''
Brees and his wife, Brittany, showed love for New Orleans when the city felt abandoned by so many others. Not only did Brees help the Saints make the playoffs in his first year in the city and begin the four-year climb to last year's title, but he also threw himself into helping the city recover, and its people to feel like they were not alone. "He symbolizes the people of New Orleans in many, many ways,'' says NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. "Drew believes in that community. He believes in doing what's right. He's one of the most genuine people I've ever met.''
Upon settling in a home in Uptown New Orleans, Drew and Brittany Brees established The Brees Dream Foundation, with the goal of "Advancing research in the fight against cancer and providing care, education and opportunities for children in need.'' In the ensuing years, Brees's foundation has helped raise more than $6 million, primarily in and around New Orleans, but also in San Diego (where Brees began his career and played five seasons with the Chargers) and West Layfayette, Ind. (where Brees played college football at Purdue, and met his wife in 1999).
The steady revival of New Orleans owes to the efforts of many civic leaders, but none are more visible than the quarterback of the city's beloved Saints, so long lovable losers, but now on top of the football world. "You could see it in Drew from the beginning,'' says Billy Miller, who joined the team with Brees in 2006 and played four seasons. "He had this attitude that just said: `If I lead, people will follow.'''
Most poignant of all, Brees has dug deep roots in a city that opened its arms when he was wounded. He and Brittany have two sons: Baylen, who will turn two in January; and Bowen, born Oct. 19. Two weeks ago Brees held Bowen in his arms and said, "Life is a miracle.''
And some would say the same for what has happened since Brees arrived in New Orleans.

Spilborghs, Herrera likely to miss rest of season
Spilborghs, Herrera likely to miss rest of season
DENVER -- The September reinforcements from the Minor League ranks come at a good time for the Rockies, who are dealing with a host of injuries. Outfielder Ryan Spilborghs, who came off the disabled list on Friday, re-injured his ailing right foot while making a play in left field during Colorado's 10-7 loss to the D-backs on Monday. "It's significant enough to the point where I don't think you're going to see him again this year," Rockies manager Jim Tracy said.
Second baseman Jonathan Herrera will also miss the rest of the season. He fractured the index and pinky fingers on his right hand after the hand was slammed in a door on Sunday night. Tracy said Herrera's injuries will not require surgery. "We dodged a bullet," Tracy said. Herrera's mishap marked the second time that a Rockies player fractured a finger in a door this season. Right-hander Aaron Cook missed the first eight weeks of the season after he slammed his right ring finger in a door during Spring Training. In other injury news, first baseman Todd Helton was out of the lineup for the third straight game on Tuesday, as he continues to rest a stiff back. Tracy said that the earliest Helton will play is Friday's series opener against the Reds. Infielder Chris Nelson -- who joined the Rockies from Triple-A Colorado Springs on Tuesday but is yet to be activated -- is nursing a bruised left heel. Nelson was in a protective boot on Tuesday, but he could make another appearance with the Rockies before the season ends.
Also, Rockies catcher Jose Morales, who was placed on the 60-day disabled list on June 17 after suffering a fractured right thumb, said on Tuesday that he will miss the rest of the season.
The switch-hitting Morales, who underwent surgery on his right wrist after the 2009 season, began experiencing similar pain in his left wrist while trying to come back. He said rather than taking an anti-inflammatory shot in an attempt to make it back for limited playing time, he will rest, play winter ball in Puerto Rico and hope to be ready next season.

From a merchant side, I can tell you how Channel Advisor is used. Not sure about the affililate dealing or whether they are into that?
They manage listing on eBay for us and help us with auction listing, notification and payment/checkout. They are an interface between merchants (us) and eBay.
Their commission structure is usually based on every successful auction on eBay.
You have to dig into their cookie more as to whether they are overriding your cookies, etc. Sorry...
ThxEric Ewe

You might want to X out the PID & CID info

Am I making any sense? lol.
Does anyone know if ChannelAdvisor.com is also an affiliate of ebay?
February 21st, 2008, 11:06 PM #5
I wondered on that - esp. given your post title. I still wonder whether you want to post the PID # --- then again it may be a PID that people want to look for in their own stuff. It certainly seems nefarious. You might want to check w/affiliatefairplay to see if this is a known issue or not. Good luck!

Sexual activity toys and games can be a useful accessory for a couple's sexual activity play: to accept the tension out a man's erection and to give sensual stimulation that fails to automatically lead to orgasmic pleasure. But a majority of gimmicks bought in embarrassment and ignorance are never ever utilised. Resting on the again reveals the vulva and can be quite a fantastic position for a woman to offer you sexual activity. But orgasm is reached by the mixed excitement of palms, pelvic muscles and the entire body pounds for the clitoral organ. A woman works with a thrusting movements to masturbate that involves lying on the front side. This is incompatible with with a vibrator. best vibrating ring
Businesses sell off vibrators to women and we by natural means think that they have to flourish in making use of them to masturbate to climax. These fashion trends are run by our passion for hello-tech add-ons backed by marketing and advertising campaigns. A vibrator is a piece of hard plastic-type. Unlike the actual flesh and bloodstream penis, there is certainly nothing at all naturally sensual regarding a product. I am just turned on by my partner and by concentrating on his penile erection, his imagination and his opportunity to ejaculate.With a vibrator to masturbate would be the only woman climax technique that will not vanity mirror an climax strategy made use of by guys. A vibrator provides a tingly sense but (not like the versatile pressure of hands) it does not therapeutic massage the erectile tissue (and the flow of blood) from the pelvic location right behind the clitoris and labia. You can find no problem with females experiencing nice vibrations nevertheless i issue regardless of whether these kinds of arousal brings about orgasmic pleasure. dual cock ring
To get to that point, women should reassure her guy companion that there's no problem with using a vibrator within their lovemaking. Sometimes a person believes threatened by a vibrator, specially should it be the one that is normally phallic in shape but of any measurements or girth that adds to disgrace any genuine fellow member on this planet. A man also can be concerned which a woman may possibly take advantage of the sexual climax due to a vibrator a couple of a result of his personal manhood. Allaying these doubts could possibly be required well before proceeding.
There can also be hesitancy on his component about with a vibrator on his own system. While a lot more males are opening to using vibrators, there could continue to be a experience that this really is a "woman's gender gadget," not one that a virile male really should take pleasure in. A female might need to provide her companion he remains to be a 100% red-blooded male regardless if he discovers the hint from the vibrator stimulating and pleasurable. adam dual vibrating cock ring
Only women ever participate in masturbation treatment centers, which try and increase women's confidence by supplying know-how about intimate anatomy (their own personal as opposed to a man's). Simple principles like experience relaxed with your own nudity and simply being acquainted with your own genitals are basic to taking pleasure in sex action of any sort. A male doesn't usually need help with one of these difficulties because he likes noticing and inspiring his male organ.Only mammals employ a thrusting method to companion, which expands the male's joy (not the female's). Some women report that a sexual intercourse gadget is far more effective than the usual male organ in revitalizing these to sexual climax. But women of all ages can't advance the capability to climax that will depend around the creation of an tool hundreds of thousands of years after the appearance of the kinds.But females can't progress an ability to sexual climax that depends on the technology of any product thousands and thousands of several years right after the introduction of our kinds. cock ring with vibrator

When we found Mandi, we chose her to marry us because we shared many similar beliefs. In our meeting before hand, we hit it off instantly!
We could tell that she was such a genuine, loving person who chose this career path because of her compassion and positive outlook on life. Our marriage ceremony was amazing and perfect. Her words complimented every second of the love we felt.
Two years later we adopted our first baby. Without hesitation we called Mandi for our baby's blessing and to renew our vows. We welcomed him into our family and strengthened our bond once again, through an awesome ceremony with the most beautiful words and feelings behind it.
Three years later, when we adopted our second son, we wanted to pay special tribute to our family and marriage once again. We are not sure how, but Mandi outdid herself once again and brought even more love and dedication that we ever expected.
We will call upon Mandi forever as she has brought us unbelievable joy with her amazing spirit and warm presence that we and our guests have felt at every event. Thank you Mandi for coming into our lives!
Chrissy, Matty, Xavier and Canaan
"Rev. Mandi officiated our wedding and everyone commented on how beautiful and touching the ceremony was. When we had our son, we called on Mandi again to officiate a baby blessing ceremony for us. We wanted a ceremony that was more spiritual than religious, and Mandi helped us to customize a ceremony that matched our beliefs and wishes. Again, our families commented on how lovely the baby blessing was and how warm and natural Rev. Mandi is. It is clear that she loves what she does! We whole-heartedly recommend Rev. Mandi to any family looking for a beautiful and personal baby blessing ceremony." — The Gardiner Family
Rev. Mandi has been such an inspiration to our family. Finding Rev. Mandi was truly one of the best things that has ever happened to us. We got married in May of 2011 and during our first sit down meeting with Mandi, we knew right away that she would be the one uniting us as a family. She did such a wonderful job and we felt so much unconditional love and support from her. We also knew that we wanted to add to our family with another baby. We expressed to Mandi that if our wish came true that we would love to have her do the Blessing Ceremony for our unborn baby.
We became pregnant with our baby girl just a few months after we were married and contacted Rev. Mandi right away to let her know the amazing news. Of course, she was delighted to be a part of our Blessing Ceremony for Chloe. Rev. Mandi baptized Chloe on Sunday July 29th, 2012 and it was such a beautiful (original) and personal ceremony. The feedback from our guests was remarkable! We feel so blessed to have met Mandi and only wish other couples and families the same joy we have shared with her.

We met Reverend Mandi in June 2006 in order to plan our backyard wedding for July 22, 2006. My wife and I wanted a spiritual ceremony with our own personal and "tropical" touches and Reverend Mandi delivered what can only be described as the most personal, loving and special wedding ceremony that we could have ever imagined. Thus, our Circle of Life had begun with Reverend Mandi.
Our next stage in our lives, in the fall of 2007, was the Baptism of our two children. Again, our backyard was the home to this touching and emotional ceremony and again, Reverend Mandi, now considered by us, as one of our family, was involved in another part of our Circle of Life.
We once again called on Reverend Mandi to guide us through another stage in our lives; unfortunately, it was to help us through the passing of my wife and my boys Mom, Marianne, who passed on June 7, 2009. Never have we needed be guided in this way and there was no one else who could have guided us, spiritually, through this than Reverend Mandi.
The service delivered by Reverend Mandi was the most beautiful, heartfelt, sincere and personal tribute to and celebration of my wife's life. The words from Reverend Mandi during the service provided much comfort and strength to all those in attendance and more importantly to me and my boys.
Our Circle of Life had been completed with Reverend Mandi's loving and compassionate approach. Being able to have personal, spiritual support and guidance throughout our Life Journey, has given us the strength to pursue our next stage, healing, and to build our New Circle of Life.
There is no other Reverend, Minister, Clergy or such that I have encountered in my lifetime, that has made such a positively strong and lasting spiritual impression on our lives. I know that we have, in Reverend Mandi, a friend and family member, who we can look to for guidance, in times of joy and in sorrow. We know that we are fortunate to have been touched by her and to have her in our life.
~ Rob Bowman
I have known Mandi Neiser for several years, so when my brother passed away unexpectedly it was only natural we asked Mandi to help us by conducting his service. She had only just married my nephew a few months before his death and I was not sure she could do a funeral but "yes" she sure would. Although we knew Mandi her extreme professionalism took over and we were amazed at how hard she worked to obtain the information she needed. It is such a hard time for a parent to have to bury their child and Mandi was there to help my mother through what needed to be done. Her sensitive way and her knowing exactly what to ask us all where extremely comforting. So much so that my mother told my other siblings and I that when her time came please only ask Mandi. Unfortunately my mother's time came far to soon after my brother's death and we were faced with yet again another service. Mandi was there for us ready to discuss what we wanted. She arrived at my mother's apartment with prayers and poems along with suggestions to help us through. Asking just the right questions, she collected the information she needed. When the day of the service arrived, Mandi conducted not just a service but a beautiful touching eulogy. So beautiful that if any of the family members had not spoke anyone would have got a real sense of who my mom was through Mandi. The words of comfort, some funny stories along with just enough religious content more then provided us with the service we wanted for my mom. When last minute changes were thrown in just prior the service, there was Mandi, " No problem" she just rearranged her things and calmly went on. Words can not express the thanks we had for Mandi, for giving our mother the best send off possible.!!! She would have been so very please.
~ Janice Pettit
Everyone we talked with absolutely fell in love with our ceremony and had said that they had never experienced anything quite like it and it was as though you had known each of us for years… Hearing what we already knew come to life from paper & the ceremony outline, was so beautiful. My only regret is that I didn't have a videographer to tape the day.
We are truly blessed that we found you and you are right, I do believe it was not by chance that we found you. There is purpose for everyone that crosses paths.
Thank you so much again Mandi! You are truly an angel to us!
~ Amanda and Renzo

LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga -- Gwinnett County police have identified the body of a man who was found next to a Snellville road on Wednesday morning.
Police say Jabari Pettway, 23, from Duluth, died from several gunshot wounds. No motive or suspects have been identified.
Pettway's body was found near the intersection of Lenora and Lenora Church roads in unincorporated Snellville.
Police received a 911 call at 8:42 am from a worker who was patrolling a pasture of land along Lenora Road. The employee found Pettway's body lying face up next to a private driveway into the pasture. The man tried to get Pettway's attention, but found him to be unresponsive.
Candace Warner, a close friend of Pettway's for four years, said he was the life of the party everywhere he went.
"We both started at the same job together, and he was just hilarious," she said. "People just fell in love with him."
Warner broke down when she heard the news of Pettway's death. "At first, I just heard he was missing, and thought maybe he was just out partying and just didn't get home," she said.
Warner believes robbery may have been a motive in Pettway's murder. "He always had the best, name-brand clothes, everything else," she said. "People get jealous of those things, and they want to take those things away from you.
"He was studying to be a barber, and he was going to be a major success. He was taken from us way too soon."

ANN Based Equalization Using Coded Inputs in Nakagami-m Faded Channel
Equalization is often used in wireless communication to mitigate the effects of Inter Symbol Interference (ISI). The Artificial Neural Network (ANN) has been a preferred tool for performing equalization to reduce ISI. This paper describes the use of ANN and coding to improve performance of an equalizer, designed to tackle fading effects of Nakagami-m channel. Improvement in performance has been shown for coded transmission over uncoded one in Nakagami-m channel with ANN based equalization.

A. | How do you define yourself?
Unstoppable. Passionate about my causes. Compassionate about my city and my environment. Compelled to want to do everything that I can do to make the city, the planet, everything around me a better place. A contributor—I like to contribute to all of those events that really hold fashion and beauty and culture as a center-point for what gives each and every one of us a way to express and live outloud and hold joy between us. I love that Baby&Co is really that central hub for women from every country and every walk of life. I get homeless people who come in here and most people chase them away but just because your homeless doesn't mean that you forget what something beautiful looks like. I like that they feel safe to come in here and that this space is shared with some of the most wealthy women in the city of Seattle. I love women in general—I think that I am a great girlfriend to women and to males. I think women have a great opportunity right now to be both, I think to be a women is to show our feminine side and our compassion as the givers of life but what most people don't know is that we are the stronger species. We have those two edges of the sword we are fiercely strong defenders of life but fiercely compassionate about how precious life is.
People will get really mad at me and say "you didn't just give me the up down…" and I say "girl I judge all day!" I mean my job is to assess what feels appropriate, assess what feels necessary and assess what makes people feel beautiful.
We forget that empowerment of women who do self-express through fashion, its all about selling it to the world with the right attitude. As long as you believe it you can sell it.
A. | What does your job entail?
I love sharing stories with these women on the sales floor and feeling like I am a partner in that. It is really helping them arrive at that moment where they feel their best, where they feel at home. That's not in sweat clothes, that is lazy… Retail is theatre—i'm putting on a broadway show every day: I've got to set up the stage, set up the set, I've got a new set of actors—it's theatrical! The set goes up, the set goes down, the show goes from city to city, it's a really dynamic broadway show every day.
A. | How did you become interested in the fashion industry?
I have always loved fashion. I stared in fashion as a cashier when I was 16. There was a time that I wanted to get into politics to be a fundraiser or political event coordinator. I loved the business of the political arena in 70's and 80's. Fashion really is a lifestyle and I love making people feel their best self, it is so gratifying.
A. | What is unique about the fashion industry in Seattle?
Seattle has a nice character toward fashion in that we are not a pretentious city but it drives me crazy when people as their clothes for good here, we forget about our everyday runway. In France, even if you go by meat you have to take the time to put yourself together and show your best self to respect that business and to show self-respect.
A. | What are you most proud of in your career?
Myself and a couple other women had our own little free-market which gives access to beautiful clothing to those who could normally not afford it and it has raised almost $100,000 of proceeds for my foster care nonprofit.
A. | What do you do outside our your work routine?
I love running, I used to be a tri-athlete. I love yoga. I love those physical escapes from the day-to-day. It really helps me focus my lense inward to find my drsidi and really focus on the cadence of my breath and the cadence of step. I am conscientious about putting myself back into my rhythm and both yoga and running are essential for this. It really helps me on those days where I am just going to blow up because at the end of the day life is like "you breathe in, and you breathe out."
A. | Where do you feel at home?
I feel at home in any city that has its own self-identity and a strong sense of culture. I love a country that has such self-pride in what it does. I feel at home in a city where I can get out of the plane and be in a beautiful cafe within an hour or so and be so absorbed by the moment.
A. | What's your vision for the future of your work?
To foster much more of a sensory connection, with all of the internet we are not doing this as much. I use the store installations and things we are doing to help us tap into those five human sense: something to hear, to taste, to smell, to feel and to see. I have got this beautiful installation coming in the spring to really help everything slow down…
I am into the slow fashion movement. The big fashion machines that are just trying to destroy our industry because they are depending on this mass consumption to operate is killing the imagination, the spiritual soul and wonder of our best designers. I want to use this year to educate people who haven't really seen the difference. Designers are like architects, they go to school sometimes for eight years like in a Master's program so if we don't respect those traditions of making clothes and this artisanal craft we are in a lot of trouble.
A. | How does oppression and privilege influence people's success in your industry?
Privilege is access. Oppression is robbing that dignity of people in thinking that they don't seek beauty, it's taking away choice, it's taking away beauty. Whether it's the taste of the finest chocolate or the feel of the nicest cashier, it is within us as humans to want that.
A. | How do you define success?
Giving the perfect gift to your audience. It is to get an emotional reaction to a brand and make people feel like they are a part of if. Success is making that beautiful fusion between life and luxury.
A. | What would you recommend to yourself 20 years ago?
Change isn't easy and change isn't comfortable. Never be afraid to fail but if you do fail that is such an amazing opportunity to learn and step back to look at what happened. You don't learn as much in your successes because you are just going through the motions.
A. | Any other production advice you would like to share?
Make sure that there is passion in work because if you love what you do you will never work a day in your life.

Bounce Baby Bounce!
Featuring: Anthony Rosano and Chavon Taylor
Date: June 15th, 2009
Photos: 100
You've seen the video of this grand experiment in Bounce Baby Bounce! Mad scientist Anthony says he's invented a device that can control bouncing boobs. He can slow them down. He can speed them up. Hey, they said Thomas Edison was crazy too. Anthony convinces Chavon Taylor to be the subject in his sports lab. A breast-bouncing workout is the game plan. Chavon happily bounces her big, fine jugs on the trampoline while Anthony slows her down, then speeds her up. Anthony's experiments are sidetracked when he realizes how prime Chavon is for a sweaty fuck. "What a fine specimen," he mutters. And now he can use her body as his personal science lab.

Car Wars: Trump Plans Auto Industry Fight with China
Posted March 20, 2017
(Jonathan Swan – Axios News)
Senior White House officials are quietly preparing to confront China over what they consider unfair practices in the auto industry. It's a move that could profoundly disrupt relations between the superpowers.
Watch for the issue to pop in President Trump's talks next month with China's Xi Jinping. [...]
The White House's calculus: China currently exports very few cars to the U.S., but it's itching to sell dramatically more. Trump is perfectly positioned to negotiate the terms of China's market entry. He's got plenty of leverage with tariff levels and ownership restrictions — though the Trump folks are still hashing out their negotiation strategy. Click here to read more.

Picasso once painted realistically – he was called to weddings, christenings, and other memorable gatherings just as photographers are hired for those occasions today. Indeed, with the invention of the camera, Picasso went in another direction with his art, using colors and shapes in a new way defined as cubism. The images of "woman" that once looked as realistic as a photograph were then portrayed in an abstract form that was sometimes even grotesque.
The color blue has been assigned meanings by artists for centuries. A dark blue can be interpreted as power – in fact, many paintings of Mary, the Mother of Jesus, show her with a dark blue cape. To bury a son would certainly require unimaginable courage and strength. An interpretation of a light 'cool' blue is that it represents level-headed presence of mind under pressure. John F. Kennedy often wore a light blue suit for his portraits. The blue of Van Gogh and Picasso shows still another interpretation in certain of their paintings – the blue that represents distress and depression. Picasso's "The Old Guitarist' is an example of his "Blue Period."
This "Blue" piece was created with brushes, but it has the textured feel of palette knife, colors layered on colors. This gives the painting richness and depth. While the artist certainly does not claim to be Picasso, this piece is inspired by Picasso's life. Surprisingly, learning from the past is often the impetus to thrust us into the future. This painting is unique and perhaps even surreal in its presentation.

There she started her career as the leader in the development of maize cytogenetics, the focus of her research for the rest of her life. From the late 1920s, McClintock studied chromosomes and how they change during reproduction in maize. Her work was groundbreaking; she developed the technique for visualizing maize chromosomes and used microscopic analysis to demonstrate many fundamental genetic ideas. One of those ideas was the notion of genetic recombination by crossing-over during meiosis —a mechanism by which chromosomes exchange information. She produced the first genetic map for maize, linking regions of the chromosome to physical traits. She demonstrated the role of the telomere and centromere, regions of the chromosome that are important in the conservation of genetic information. She was recognized among the best in the field, awarded prestigious fellowships, and elected a member of the National Academy of Sciences in 1944.Medicine / Physiology - 1983111983GeneticsDeceased16/06/1902190202/09/199281FemaleUnited StatesHartford,Connecticut,United StatesHartfordConnecticutUnited StatesCold Spring Harbor LaboratoryCornell UniversityNobel Website ProfileWikipedia Profile

What is Hypnosis/Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy means the use of suggestion to help with a problem, by giving suggestions to the unconscious mind whilst the person is in a more relaxed state than normal.
In this relaxed "can't be bothered" state, the mind is more receptive to suggestion, especially the unconscious mind which is more available. The feeling of hypnosis is lovely - just like the feeling you experience first thing in the morning before you get up out of bed - that "I'll do it in a minute" feeling, where you are alert and awake, but resting.
These suggestions help people make positive changes within themselves. Long gone are the days when hypnosis was seen as waving watches and controlling people's minds. In a Hypnotherapy session you are always in control and you are not made to do anything. It is generally accepted that all hypnosis is self-hypnosis.
Facilitating Experiences
A hypnotist merely helps to facilitate your experience - hypnotherapy is not about being made to do things, in fact it is the opposite, it is about empowerment. If someone tells you they can hypnotize you to do something, ask them to hypnotize you to rob a bank, and when they can't, ask them to stop making ridiculous claims.
In partnership with Family Addiction Support Service (FASS), The Harvest Clinic offers a wide range of Hypnotherapy services and solutions.
To make an appointment please contact FASS on 0141 420 2050 or firstname.lastname@example.com. All sessions take place on a Wednesday's and are held within FASS at West Street Centre, 123 West Street, Glasgow, G5 8BA.

Rated 3 / 5 stars
I would not say it sucks. It is a starting point. I am not the greatest artist in the world, but with practice you ca do almost anything.
A good thing to say about this drawing is that you have confident lines. when I started out everything had were scribly lines.
Also the kangaroos proportions are good. If you keep practicing you will get far.
Thank you for the response
The Warrior
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
The style is awesome and it is very clean. the proportions are well done but his legs looks like they have been pushed to the left a bit. That may be the cloth that perhaps need to be wrapped a bit around the area near the hip foreshortened leg. The colours are very well picked and these really conveys the theme Earth.
I really like this and its overall a really great picture.
Thank you for the feedback and yes I can see what you mean by that, it would have been smarter of me if I had added the cloth after the body was sketched out but for this one I did the cloth in the raw sketch.
zombie sailor
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
The overall feel you get is fantastic :D Its like Im looking down from the bridge and seing no way out other than right through him. The blood is really good and it really looks like its been dragged across the deck. the lighting is also superb illustrating that it may be in the south pacific somewhere.
But the shorts is kinda bugging me looks wrong somehow :D
Thanks! thats what I call a good criticism. You are 100% right - those shorts are off ;d When I look at it now I think thats cos perspective of cloth on the right leg is just wrong (it should be wraping around the leg). Maybe I will find some time to fix it.

A digital farmers' market brings local foods to Ontarians
As a Canadian-owned, independent food wholesaler that deals with thousands of clients, Flanagan Foodservice Inc. is looking to help further Ontarians' connection to local food producers.
The Kitchener, Ont.-based company is in its 40 th year of operation, and its 550 employees serve about 6,000 restaurants and food distributors across Ontario through an inventory of about 10,000 warehoused products.
The series
We look at decision makers among Canada's mid-sized companies who took successful action in a competitive global digital economy. To read the rest of the series, click here.
Recognizing that this inventory – drawn mainly from large, well-established food providers – represents merely the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Ontario's diverse food offerings, Flanagan recently launched Flanagan Market, an online e-commerce forum.
Designed to connect small, local food growers directly with purchasing outlets, Flanagan Market went live on May 29, and has 28 producers listed, from New Hamburg, Ont.'s Mountainoak Cheese Ltd. to Toronto's Bee Local 416 natural honey.
"It's really trying to promote the whole local aspect and the site connects the farmers and the producers with restaurants that we service across Ontario," says Barry Reid, Flanagan's vice-president for sales and marketing.
"You may have a restaurant in Windsor that is interested in a local product that might be kind of unique but local in Ottawa, for instance."
Companies that want to get involved sign up through the website, adding the products that they are offering and their delivery schedule. It is then up to Flanagan to choose whether it wants to list that company; Flanagan has a number of prerequisites, such as companies must be established businesses and food-safety certified.
Mr. Reid says that Flanagan takes a small administration fee for the service, adding that making money was not the impetus for the concept; rather it was designed to help bring local farmers to market and possibly increase the scope of what Flanagan can offer its customers.
"The difficult part of the decision is you're kind of opening yourself up to your competition," he says. "Although it's smaller competition to us, it's still competition and we felt, why not embrace that and down the road these suppliers may become suppliers of ours because the volume starts growing."
Flanagan Market was built by Local Line, a Kitchener-based software company that specializes in building online marketplaces for food businesses. It was actually Local Line that approached Flanagan about putting together Flanagan Market, and it just so happened that a Flanagan survey of its customers had revealed that a sizeable chunk of them wanted access to more local food.
Local food is more than just farmers' markets that are popular among foodies and those who enjoy the experience, says Cole Jones, chief executive officer of Local Line. "It's a very powerful way to build food systems and re-engineer local supply chains."
As he explains, the idea is almost identical to a farmers' market. For instance, if a farmer shows up at St. Lawrence Market in Toronto on Saturday morning, he has his products, he sets his price, does his best deal and the market will pay what it decides to pay.
"Exact same thing here," Mr. Jones says. "We just thought conceptually Flanagan is this great big market, they have all these customers that come to them and look for the kind of products that [they] have."
Diego Reyes, the director of e-commerce agency Odegi, in Vaughan, Ont., says that the greatest impact that the decision may have on Flanagan might be in its brand in the eyes of its customers, increasing loyalty as it increases the options available to them.
One of Odegi's clients sells grass-fed beef in the United States and Mr. Reyes says that 95 per cent of the company's sales are derived online.
"If you look at digital commerce, it's growing," he says. "Canada's behind, so I think this is definitely the right approach for this company and it's just going to create a great opportunity for them and improve their customer service overall and build brand affinity."
Flanagan Market also helps differentiate the company from its competition.
"They're thinking digital, that's where everything is, that's where customers are and I think it's a great strategy," Mr. Reyes says.
One concern would revolve around the size of the companies being listed on Flanagan Market. While they would benefit from the opportunity to get in touch with a larger audience, being able to fulfill orders, particularly shipping and delivery, may prove problematic.
"Let's say I'm a farmer with strawberries and I drive to the market," says Becky Reuber, professor of strategic management at the University of Toronto's Rotman School of Management.
"I might be able to sell all my weekly strawberries there. If I'm driving all my weekly strawberries to seven or eight restaurants and stores and households and whatever it may be, that's another cost for me which may actually be higher."
One other issue would be the consequences of companies potentially not being able to make good on their promised deliveries. Though Flanagan Market may be acting as a go-between, with the guarantee of the Flanagan name, the company needs to be sure of the reliability of the suppliers it allows to be listed on its digital marketplace.
"If they put them up on their website in their marketplace, Flanagan's name is on it," says Maureen McCabe of McCabe Marketing in Toronto. "So it's not just a question of Flanagan's offering this marketplace but they're doing some vetting of who they're putting there."
Customer complaints could hurt Flanagan's branding, she says, "but there are upsides if they can manage it correctly."

When you finish catching all that you think are frequenting, stuff a rag in the hole to see if it's still being used.
If it stays in for a few days, patch it with hardware cloth and a staple gun. If that lasts a couple of months, fix it the right way.

If you worry that your toddler isn't drinking enough milk, is drinking too much milk, or is maybe not drinking the "right" kind of milk, today's post is for you. I'm going to keep this short and sweet to make sure the info you need is front and center. Here goes!
- After a child turns one, they are better able to digest cow's milk—which is why it's not recommended for babies.
- The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that toddlers drink whole milk since they need the fat for proper development of their brains and nervous systems. They still recommend that kids over 2 switch to low fat milk (despite research that that might not be the best idea for longterm health goals).
- A study published in 2013 by the found that kids who drank 1% milk had higher BMIs than those who drank whole or 2% milk.
- A study published in 2016 found that full fat dairy including milk, cheese, and yogurt was protective against type 2 diabetes—meaning that it helped to lower risks of developing the disease.
- Toddlers can get the nutrients from milk in other dairy like cheese, yogurt, and kefir. The goal should be 2-3 servings of dairy a day, which may (or may not) include milk.
- If your kiddo doesn't like dairy or nondairy milk, cheese or yogurt, try to include these foods. For calcium, kale, broccoli, bok choy, almonds/almond butter, canned salmon (with bones, so you need to crush them when mixing into salmon salad or patties), sesame seeds/ tahini, chia seeds, and tofu are good sources. For Vitamin D, salmon, tuna, fortified oj, egg yolk, fortified cereal. (You may need to double check labels on breakfast cereals and fortified juices if you go that route to know what you're getting.)
- Milk can actually interfere with appetite—milk is food after all—so you may need to reduce the amount of milk offered during the day if your toddler isn't interested in food.
- The vast majority of nondairy milk, including almond, cashew, and rice, contain little nutrition on their own. (Most are fortified with calcium and vitamin D, though few contain any protein.)
- Sweetened nondairy milks can contain whopping amounts of added sugars.
- Newer nut milks, like this one from Silk, are being fortified with pea protein to give them a nutritional profile that more closely mirrors cow's milk.
- Unsweetened flax and hemp milk naturally contain more nutrition than nut milks, as well as beneficial fatty acids.
- Unsweetened soy milk is naturally the closest nutritionally to cow's milk. (I know that there has been some concern about soy consumption over the years, but if used in moderation like all other foods, it can be a good option.)
Bottomline ——> Your toddler should eat a range of dairy products to get lots of nutrition (and probiotics from foods like yogurt and aged cheeses) from their foods, not just milk. If they eat other dairy and don't like dairy, it's okay. You might want to consider alternating milk and water at meals and snacks throughout the day to ensure that your little one has space in their belly for food. And if you go with non-dairy milk, reach for unsweetened versions when possible to limit added sugars.
*And, as always, discuss any concerns with your pediatrician.*
In our house, we use whole milk for cereal and some mealtime drinks (and for coffee). We use plant milk—either unsweetened almond, that new Silk nut protein milk that I mentioned or flax—for smoothies and in most baking. And we incorporate yogurt and cheese to round out our dairy intake.
