3.9.10 Advanced Topic: Functions with Sensitive Dependence on Their Input
Functions that are specified by simple algebraic formulas tend to be such that when their input is changed only slightly, their output also changes only slightly. But functions that are instead based on executing procedures quite often show almost arbitrarily sensitive dependence on their input. Typically the reason this happens is that the procedure "excavates" progressively less and less significant digits in the input.
This shows successive steps in a simple iterative procedure with input 0.1111.
In[1]:= NestList[FractionalPart[2 #]&, 0.1111, 10]
Here is the result with input 0.1112. Progressive divergence from the result with input 0.1111 is seen.
In[2]:= NestList[FractionalPart[2 #]&, 0.1112, 10]
The action of FractionalPart[2 x] is particularly simple in terms of the binary digits of the number x: it justs drops the first one, and shifts the remaining ones to the left. After several steps, this means that the results one gets are inevitably sensitive to digits that are far to the right, and have an extremely small effect on the original value of x.
This shows the shifting process achieved by FractionalPart[2 x] in the first 8 binary digits of x.
In[3]:= RealDigits[Take[%, 5], 2, 8, -1]
If you give input only to a particular precision, you are effectively specifying only a certain number of digits. And once all these digits have been "excavated" you can no longer get accurate results, since to do so would require knowing more digits of your original input. So long as you use arbitrary-precision numbers, Mathematica automatically keeps track of this kind of degradation in precision.
Successive steps yield numbers of progressively lower precision, and eventually no precision at all is left.
In[4]:= NestList[FractionalPart[40 #]&, N[1/9, 20], 20]
This asks for the precision of each number. Mathematica generates a warning for numbers where no precision is left.
In[5]:= Map[Precision, %]
This shows that the exact result is a periodic sequence.
In[6]:= NestList[FractionalPart[40 #]&, 1/9, 10]
It is important to realize that if you use approximate numbers of any kind, then in an example like the one above you will always eventually run out of precision. But so long as you use arbitrary-precision numbers, Mathematica will explicitly show you any decrease in precision that is occurring. However, if you use machine-precision numbers, then Mathematica will not keep track of precision, and you cannot tell when your results become meaningless.
If you use machine-precision numbers, Mathematica will no longer keep track of any degradation in precision.
In[7]:= NestList[FractionalPart[40 #]&, N[1/9], 20]
By iterating the operation FractionalPart[2 x] you extract successive binary digits in whatever number you start with. And if these digits are apparently random—as in a number like —then the results will be correspondingly random. But if the digits have a simple pattern—as in any rational number—then the results you get will be correspondingly simple.
By iterating an operation such as FractionalPart[3/2 x] it turns out however to be possible to get seemingly random sequences even from very simple input. This is an example of a very general phenomenon first identified by me in the mid-1980s, which has nothing directly to do with sensitive dependence on input.
This generates a seemingly random sequence, even starting from simple input.
In[8]:= NestList[FractionalPart[3/2 #]&, 1, 15]
After the values have been computed, one can safely find numerical approximations to them.
In[9]:= N[%]
Here are the last 5 results after 1000 iterations, computed using exact numbers.
In[10]:= Take[N[NestList[FractionalPart[3/2 #]&, 1, 1000]], -5]
Using machine-precision numbers gives completely incorrect results.
In[11]:= Take[NestList[FractionalPart[3/2 #]&, 1., 1000], -5]
Many kinds of iterative procedures yield functions that depend sensitively on their input. Such functions also arise when one looks at solutions to differential equations. In effect, varying the independent parameter in the differential equation is a continuous analog of going from one step to the next in an iterative procedure.
This finds a solution to the Duffing equation with initial condition 1.
In[12]:= NDSolve[{x''[t] + 0.15 x'[t] - x[t] + x[t]^3 == 0.3 Cos[t],
x[0] == -1, x'[0] == 1}, x, {t, 0, 50}]
Here is a plot of the solution.
In[13]:= Plot[Evaluate[x[t] /. %], {t, 0, 50}]
Here is the same equation with initial condition 1.001.
In[14]:= NDSolve[{x''[t] + 0.15 x'[t] - x[t] + x[t]^3 == 0.3 Cos[t],
x[0] == -1, x'[0] == 1.001}, x, {t, 0, 50}]
The solution progressively diverges from the one shown above.
In[15]:= Plot[Evaluate[x[t] /. %], {t, 0, 50}]

Dailin was a Maiden of the Spear of the Nine Valleys sept of the Taardad Aiel. She was Aviendha's second-sister.
- In early printings of the The Dragon Reborn, her sept was incorrectly given as Iron Mountain. However, Aviendha said that she and Dailin were from the same sept; Aviendha's is consistently given as Nine Valleys.
Appearance Edit
She had dark red hair and gray eyes.
Activities Edit
Dailin, Aviendha, Bain, Chiad, and Jolien are some of the last algai'd'siswai sent over the Spine of the World in search of He Who Comes With the Dawn. Nynaeve al'Meara, Egwene al'Vere, and Elayne Trakand encountered Aviendha after leaving their grounded ship during their journey towards Cairhien. She brought them to Dailin, who was wounded, and the other Maidens, and Nynaeve Healed Dailin.[1] The three women left the Aiel and headed towards Jurene.
Shortly after leaving the Maidens, Nynaeve, Egwene, and Elayne were attacked and knocked unconscious. When they awoke, they were being held captive by Darkfriend bandits and three Myrddraal. A group of Aiel arrived, including the five Maidens, and killed the Darkfriends. Nynaeve, Egwene, and Elayne killed the Myrddraal using the One Power.
When the fight was over, Dailin was among the dead.[2] Nynaeve was angered and saddened over "the waste," saying she didn't Heal the girl just so she could die.

Playlist (9 talks): Talks to give you a confidence boost
7:18Now playingElizabeth Gilbert was once an "unpublished diner waitress," devastated by rejection letters. And yet, in the wake of the success of 'Eat, Pray, Love,' she found herself identifying strongly with her former self. With beautiful insight, Gilbert reflects on why success can be as disorienting as failure and offers a simple — though hard — way to carry on, regardless of outcomes.
11:46Now playingIs your school or workplace divided between the "creatives" versus the practical people? Yet surely, David Kelley suggests, creativity is not the domain of only a chosen few. Telling stories from his legendary design career and his own life, he offers ways to build the confidence to create. (From The Design Studio session at TED2012, guest-curated by Chee Pearlman and David Rockwell.)
21:02Now playingBody language affects how others see us, but it may also change how we see ourselves. Social psychologist Amy Cuddy argues that "power posing" — standing in a posture of confidence, even when we don't feel confident — can boost feelings of confidence, and might have an impact on our chances for success. NOTE: Some of the findings presented in this talk have been referenced in an ongoing debate among social scientists about robustness and reproducibility. Read "Criticisms & updates" below for more details as well as Amy Cuddy's response.
15:08Now playingSpeaking up is hard to do, even when you know you should. Learn how to assert yourself, navigate tricky social situations and expand your personal power with sage guidance from social psychologist Adam Galinsky.
8:16Now playingAuthor Isabel Allende is 71. Yes, she has a few wrinkles—but she has incredible perspective too. In this candid talk, meant for viewers of all ages, she talks about her fears as she gets older and shares how she plans to keep on living passionately.
10:28Now playingRemember the days you struggled just to make a yo-yo spin, and if you were really fancy, to "walk the dog"? You ain't seen nothin' yet. Japanese yo-yo world champion BLACK tells the inspiring story of finding his life's passion, and gives an awesome performance that will make you want to pull your yo-yo back out of the closet.
7:20Now playingPhotographer Boniface Mwangi wanted to protest against corruption in his home country of Kenya. So he made a plan: He and some friends would stand up and heckle during a public mass meeting. But when the moment came ... he stood alone. What happened next, he says, showed him who he truly was. As he says, "There are two most powerful days in your life. The day you are born, and the day you discover why." Graphic images.
19:30Now playingWhen game designer Jane McGonigal found herself bedridden and suicidal following a severe concussion, she had a fascinating idea for how to get better. She dove into the scientific research and created the healing game, SuperBetter. In this moving talk, McGonigal explains how a game can boost resilience — and promises to add 7.5 minutes to your life.
8:03Now playingHumanity's fine-tuned sense of fear served us well as a young species, giving us laser focus to avoid being eaten by competing beasts. But it's less wonderful when that same visceral, body-hijacking sense of fear kicks in in front of 20 folk-music fans at a Tuesday night open-mic. Palms sweat, hands shake, vision blurs, and the brain says RUN: it's stage fright. In this charming, tuneful little talk, Joe Kowan talks about how he conquered it.

Oil Recovery Ops off the Irish Coast
In the afternoon on Tuesday 17th February, the Irish authorities decided to request assistance from the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) to combat an oil spill initially detected by EMSA's CleanSeaNet service 50 miles southeast of Fastnet Rock off the West Cork coast. As a result, the EMSA contracted vessel Galway Fisher has been mobilized and will be in Cork on standby. The alert was provided by the CleanSeaNet European oil spill detection service of EMSA on Saturday 14th February. The image, on the basis of which the Irish authorities learned about this spill, is one of the routine images acquired by CleanSeaNet for EU Member States.
On 14th February, the oil spill was detected approximately 50 miles southeast of Fastnet Rock off the West Cork coast of Ireland. It has been reported that there were Russian vessels in the area. The spill is estimated to be 400-500 tonnes of oil. The spill was originally spread over an area encompassing four miles by five miles.
The Agency will continue utilising its CleanSeaNet European satellite oil slick detection service to monitor the pollution in the affected area. Emergency satellite images have been ordered to provide additional information on the behaviour of the spill at sea.
At present, EMSA has 11 stand-by vessels located at different places around the EU coastline, and these are ready to assist any EU Member State which requests their services.

Ice Age Child

Ice Age Child, The skeleton was burnt out of the attempt to obtain a three years-discovered link between Paleoindian in Central Alaska from around the dwelling of the remains of 11,500 years, according to the inventions set forth in The Journal of Science, on Feb 25.
"The situation of the truly everything might be the sense of the word in," he says investigatoris Ben Potter from the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) in the winepress of meals. "Enough has been the cremation of significance, but also to carry back the context to find him.
I believe Potter and his colleagues has been the dwelling of the house of the summer for use by men and women and children swimming the birds and fishes and small Mammals. As yet a man does not remain many ancestors a hundred years old, he was found in the Subarctic Alaska, according to press the free.

Two years ago Pax217 was just one of the many alternative bands trying to be heard and to earn a prime spot on the national touring circuit. Since then the band has achieved both goals thanks to their
Pax217 maintains their commitment to genre-bouncing on their follow-up Forefront disc, Engage, earning an extra boost of confidence from producer Phillip Steir (known for his work with No Doubt, Live, and Vitamin C). Chances are, close followers of the group already are familiar with the explosive title cut and the scorching jam "Tonight," both of which were featured on Pax217's spring tour. "Engage" has a momentum-building hardcore attitude with occasional spurts of reggae beats, while "Tonight" is a whirl of chunky guitars, bouncy rhythms, and brimming harmonies. "PSA," another song with a striking reggae/rap ambience, contains bountiful hooks and a vivid storyline about a believer in the midst of inner struggle: "You can't control even a second of your soul / Cause what you think is yours, you need to let go / I know, but I keep fighting this flesh / Even though I know I put it to death."
Other heavy hitters include "Fly Away," "I'll See You," and "Yesterday," all set apart by their strategic clatter of percussion and guitar grit over unpredictable vocals. "Fly Away" explodes with free-flowing yet effective bombast, as does "Yesterday," which builds off the echoing chorus of "Check 217" from the last album. "Dream Away" incorporates choppy guitar patterns with an empowering message of turning over daily concerns to the Lord: "It's better to lift your head than to take the worry to bed / So rest assured and dream away for tomorrow when you wake / What you had asked for is what you'll get today." Even more entertaining is the most schizophrenic song in the group's catalogue, "What is Love." The cut begins with a haunting guitar jangle followed by somewhat hushed and distorted vocals, eventually working its way up to vigorous intensity for each chorus.
Tunes such as "Move on This" and "Countin' Down the Days," the disc's slowest two cuts, showcase the most obvious stretch of Pax217's versatility. The first easily could be grouped right next to P.O.D.'s "Set Your Eyes to Zion," while the second treads the same line as

Becoming An Anti-Racist Multicultural Church with Rev. Gerald Davis, Rev. Chuck Freeman, & Yadenee Hailu
"We must face the sad fact that at eleven o'clock on Sunday morning... we stand to sing in the most segregated hour of America." Rev. King's incisive words from 1968 remain painfully true today. In each session we will contemplate readings from Black Liberation theologian James Cone. We will also practice a fearless assessment of where our congregations and movement are on Joseph Barndt's continuum on becoming an anti-racist multicultural church. Rev. Davis and Freeman will share their candid endeavors to move in this direction from their ministries in Austin & Tulsa. Each participant will walk away with a concrete action plan on taking the next step in their congregational journey toward wholeness.
Resources: God of the Oppressed, James Cone; Becoming An Anti-Racist Church, Joseph Barndt
Rev. Chuck Freeman has been in the ministry since 1977 serving Church of Christ and Unitarian Universalist congregations. He is the founding minister of the Free Souls Church in Round Rock,Texas. He is Vice President of the Round Rock Black History Organization and the Co-Organizer of Undoing Racism Round Rock. Chuck is a founding member of the Texas Unitarian Universalist Justice Ministry and its Executive Director.
Rev. Gerald L. Davis serves as the minister of Church of the Restoration Unitarian Universalist and as an Affiliate Minister at All Souls Unitarian Church, both in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Rev. Davis also served as a County Director for the Oklahoma Department of Human Services, also in Tulsa. Over the years, Rev. Davis and his ministry have followed the arc of the universe as it bends towards justice. He delights in living life fully with his wife, Joy, and their two children, Brooks and Olivia.
Yadenee Hailu is currently a Student Minister at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She is in her second year as an MDiv student at Phillips Theological Seminary also in Tulsa, Oklahoma and is in Candidate status with the UUA. Yadenee is passionate about creating the intercultural church from within and building community that is truly compassionate and welcoming to all. Both curious and intentional, she looks forward to sharing and learning in the collaborative work of inclusion and justice.
Pray Like a UU with Rev. Phillip Douglas
Have you ever been asked to pray in public? What did you say? We're Unitarians; we don't pray? Or did you stumble through some pious sounding words, wondering if they meant anything?
My moment of truth came when I was at a demonstration for a young gay woman. I was wearing my stole, so I looked like a minister. And as we gathered on the sidewalk, one of the leaders looked at me and said, "Pastor Phil, won't you lead us in prayer?"
What will you say, when you are called on? It's good to have worked it out ahead of time.
Let's talk and practice how it is to pray like we're Unitarian Universalists.
Mostly Mindful Meditation Workshop with Rev. Cathey Edwards
What do driving, fixing dinner, having an argument, trolling social media, working, or sitting in a lotus position all have in common? You can do each more mindfully, especially if you practice while the stakes are low. Meditation is like going to the gym. You "work out" in ideal conditions so you can use the mental and emotional conditioning the rest of your day. Why bother? Because bringing your full attention to your life improves it and your relationships. The mostly mindful part is we aim for progress and not perfection.
Rev. Cathey Edwards, who has had a meditation practice in a Tibetan Buddhist tradition for over fifteen years, folds into her teachings her Unitarian Universalist world view. This class is for newcomers and practiced meditators alike. If you have a meditation cushion or seat, please bring it. Not to worry, if you don't. Wear comfortable clothes.
Theme Talk Workshop with Rev. Deanna Vandiver
Join Rev. Deanna Vandiver for a discussion of the daily lecture on this year's theme: "We'll Build a Land...Love Will Guide Us."
Art As A Spiritual Practice with Nina Stein
Alcohol Ink is a new medium in the art world. The best AI artists have been painting with it for about 6 years. It has been around for about 10 years, having been developed for crafters as a background for other craft projects. It lends itself to being used for a spiritual practice for a number of reasons. First, while it can be used by fine artists to make beautiful art, one doesn't have to be a fine artist to create with the medium. Second and most importantly, it teaches some wonderful life lessons. This is what we will be focusing on in this workshop. Come and learn to let go of control and co-create with the inks.
There will be a $35 supply fee for the class. Or purchase the supplies and bring them with you. Contact firstname.lastname@example.com for supply list.
Singing for Our Lives: Building Bridges Through Song
Singing is a peaceful, nonviolent way to share a message. Singing evokes emotion and promotes unity. That's why historically it has been so effective at protests, marches and rallies. And can be so again. Come and sing with us. Experience a revolutionary street choir. Take it home and start one yourself!
Resist and Persist!
The Point is Justice. In this post-election climate, Our Unitarian Universalists values of Love, Hope, Justice, Courage, and Joy are so desperately needed in the world. As a people of "Deeds not Creeds," it is critical that we rise to the challenge of healing this broken world. This workshop will give both spiritual grounding and nuts and bolts information for bringing our values into the world.
- Monday: Get Ready for The Work: Spiritual Preparation for Justice work and for service to our hosts, The Nation
- Tuesday: Legislative Advocacy and Involvement in Government
- Wednesday: How to protest effectively and respectfully
- Thursday: Community Organizing and 501-C organizations

Win the War for Talent by Becoming an Employer of Choice
By Patrick Ropella. Posted 06/21/2010
Are you committed to being a different kind of employer? One that stands apart from the crowd and attracts the best and brightest talent in the chemical industry?
Because of recent growth cited by many organizations in the chemical and allied industries, combined with a high retirement rate, many employers are in a hiring mode. And in this day and age where employees aren't afraid to assert themselves, and where potential applicants can leverage one job offer against another, the competition to land the most talented people is just that; a competition. That's why many companies are striving to become Employers of Choice–aiming to provide a fulfilling working environment so that people will choose to come work for them.
Becoming an Employer of Choice
Today's employees want their companies to possess a strong sense of social responsibility. They insist upon ethical business practices, financial stability, community leadership, fair treatment, and a healthy working environment. By becoming an Employer of Choice, your ability to encourage top workers to join and remain with your team will improve, and you will benefit greatly. Roger E. Herman and Joyce Gioia, authors of How to Become an Employer of Choice, state that "Employers of Choice will enjoy a higher level of performance, greater workforce stability, and the level of continuity that assures preservation of the knowledge base, customer loyalty, employee satisfaction, and stronger profits."
Interested in becoming an Employer of Choice? Here are some of the techniques currently being used by many progressive companies:
Offer Training Opportunities
Providing training for existing workers is one of the most important commitments an employer can make. By taking an active part in an employee's development, you signify that you value your people. A successful training program can include a number of different components, such as:
- Tuition reimbursement for individuals pursuing relevant college degrees
- Job-related certification programs
- Mentoring programs for new employees
- Succession training so employees are eligible for promotion
- Cross-training
Remember, it's not enough to pay lip service to training. And it's not sufficient to supply merely the training tools. Employers of Choice make sure their training programs provide guidance, time, financial assistance, and follow-up support. In short, Employers of Choice invest in their people. Without complete commitment, employees become frustrated and training measures often fail.
Provide Competitive Compensation
Companies are implementing innovative pay practices and benefits programs to entice potential employees and retain current ones. Gain sharing, profit sharing, cafeteria-style benefits options, and even team pay are just some examples.
In addition, there are many low or no-cost benefits that you can offer. Casual dress day is a common example, but many companies offer more valuable perks like dry cleaning pick up and delivery, flexible working hours, credit union membership, and flu shots. It's a busy world, and the most cherished benefits are those that help employees save time and make their lives easier.
Most companies view benefits as an expense. However, you'll do better if you evaluate them like investments. Consider what you can offer that will deliver the greatest return.
Become a Community Leader
Possessing a good image in the community is critical, for it can be the strongest way of attracting talented people to your business. Conversely, a poor reputation–real or perceived–can seriously hinder your recruiting and retention efforts.
According to Terry F. Yosie, author of The Chemical Industry's Journey to Corporate Social Responsibility, "The chemical industry is one of the world's most global business enterprises. As a result of this global reach, the industry is uniquely positioned to provide products and services that improve the quality of life of citizens and communities worldwide."
Whatever you do, take advantage of your position and don't be afraid to showcase your company's unique efforts to help make the world a better place. Community involvement and the publicity that surrounds it can serve as an excellent marketing tool for recruitment. Send press releases to local media describing your community improvement efforts. Highly visible events help you stand apart from the competition. Improving the company's reputation strengthens relationships with shareholders, customers, and more importantly, current and potential employees.
Encourage a Healthy Work-Life Balance
During the days when there were more workers than jobs, many employees worked long hours as a means of establishing job security. Today, most people are looking for a more equitable balance between work and personal time. Flexible hours, paid time off banks, and telecommuting are just a few of the ways Employers of Choice have responded to this challenge.
As a busy decision maker, you can appreciate the desire for a work-life balance better than most. Ask yourself, "What programs would help me maintain my balance more effectively?" Chances are, your ideas will match those of your workers.
Employees are not the only ones to benefit from a good work-life balance, say Herman and Gioia, authors of How to Become an Employer of Choice. Because people are more comfortable and happy, attendance, workflow, and turnover disruptions decrease and productivity increases.
Offer Meaningful Work
All employees, from the lead chemist, to the receptionist, to the CEO, should work in an environment where they feel their work is meaningful. This task is easier said than done. It may require reengineering work processes, reconfiguring job descriptions, and looking for alternative solutions to get work done, such as shifting more mundane tasks to entry-level employees.
It may also require redefining candidate profiles so you have a better chance of hiring people who will find meaning in the work they perform. What employees do or the position they're in is not finally important–what's critical is making sure they believe that each of their job functions has value.
It's also important that your managers foster a nurturing work environment where opinions are valued, creativity is fostered, and where employees are able to form quality relationships with their colleagues. Managers should challenge their employees to think. They should teach people to understand their role in the "big picture" and encourage them to improve upon current processes. When workers play a role in developing a better way to get the job done, it strengthens their commitment to the company. And a committed, contented staff is the major objective for all Employers of Choice.
Are you Ready to Compete?
However you decide to become an Employer of Choice, remember that word travels fast. A company with happy employees is like having your own PR firm working for you around the clock. Whatever you do for your employees will come back to you in the form of better recruits, lower turnover, happier and more productive staff, and increased profitability. With those kinds of results, you'll be well on your way to winning the war for top talent.

Here at SportzEdge.com, we know fantasy baseball.
I started playing it back in 2000, when I was talking trash to my eighth-grade friends and declining trade requests for Preston Wilson. Ah, the good old days.
We can't wait for the season to get here, but when it does, we know you've got to be prepared. That's why we're ranking the best players in the major leagues at each position. First, we ranked the pitchers. Now, it's time to look at the best first basemen in the game.
Check out our rankings below:
1. Paul Goldschmidt, Arizona Diamondbacks. (.321 BA, 33 HR, 110 RBI, .435 OBP)
He's the most underrated star in baseball, but not to anybody with a fantasy team. Goldschmidt is a beast in every category imaginable, from batting average to homers and RBI. He also finished fourth in the league with a .435 on-base percentage last year. His production has been consistently great for three years now, so there's no reason to think he won't hit another 30 homers and drive in another 100-plus runs. He'll be a first-round pick in most drafts.
2. Miguel Cabrera, Detroit Tigers (.338 BA, 18 HR, 76 RBI, .440 OBP)
Can you believe Miggy is only 32? Yeah, us either. Even though he's already played 13 years in the bigs, Cabrera still figures to be in his prime (though he might be towards the end of it). Injuries have been a question the last few years, as he missed 43 games last season and hasn't looked 100 percent healthy in a while. Still, we think there's still a big enough gap between him and Anthony Rizzo, mostly because Miggy's OBP is almost 60 points higher. That could change if he slogs through another injury-plagued year, though.
3. Anthony Rizzo, Chicago Cubs (.278 BA, 31 HR, 101 RBI, .387 OBP)
Batting average and on-base percentage are the only things keeping Rizzo from becoming one of the most valuable players in the game. The 26-year-old had a breakout season in 2014 and was even better last year, driving in 101 runs.
4. Edwin Encarnacion, Toronto Blue Jays (.277 BA, 39 HR, 111 RBI, .372 OBP)
If you need home runs and RBI, this dude is a fantastic option–maybe even better than Rizzo, to be honest. His batting average is a little bit low, but he walks a lot (77 in 2015), and will continue to get pitches to hit in that stacked Blue Jays lineup.
5. Jose Abreu, Chicago White Sox (.290 BA, 30 HR, 101 RBI, .347 OBP)
The 2014 A.L. Rookie of the Year is one of the up-and-coming stars in the game, and he'll really be valuable if the talented-yet-disappointing White Sox ever get their act together. Abreu's production was slightly down last season from 2014, mostly because he drew fewer walks and was on base less often. Still, he's a 30-homer, 100-RBI threat every year and a great plug-in-and-play option.
6. Joey Votto, Cincinnati Reds (.314 BA, 28 HR, 80 RBI, .459 OBP)
Votto's OBP was ridiculous last year (.459, 2nd in MLB), and he led the league in walks. Makes sense in that Reds lineup. With power threat Todd Frazier moving on to the White Sox, he may not have as many chances for ribbies, but should get avoided by pitchers more than ever. Encarnacion, Abreu and Votto all bring enough to the table for you to be happy with your first base choice.
7. Prince Fielder, Texas Rangers (.305 BA, 23 HR, 98 RBI, .378 OBP)
Fielder needed a bounce-back year in 2015, and he got it–racking up 187 hits and 98 RBI and finishing 10th in the bigs in on-base percentage. It seemed like he was always on base early in the year. He's not as great an option as the top 7, as he's slump-prone and probably won't bash as many home runs, but has terrific value the deeper you get into the draft.
8. Albert Pujols, Los Angeles Angels (.244 BA, 40 HR, 95 RBI, .307 OBP)
'The Machine' (remember that nickname?) returned to his old form last season, mashing 40 homers to go along with 90 RBI. The only problem is that he hit just .244, which was 30 points off of his .272 average in 2014, and nearly 100 points off from his career seasons in St. Louis. We think there's a chance he corrects that this season, inching that average closer to .275.
9. Adrian Gonzalez, Los Angeles Dodgers (.275 BA, 28 HR, 90 RBI, .350 OBP)
Gonzalez is still one of the best first basemen in the game, although he doesn't quite reach the production-level of some of these guys. He's still a great bet for a consistent, injury-free season, though, as he's played at least 150 games every year since 2005, when he was a youngster with the Texas Rangers.
10. Eric Hosmer, Kansas City Royals (.297 BA, 18 HR, 93 RBI, .363 OBP)
Hosmer could be in for a big year after his clutch postseason, which culminated in a World Series-clinching steal of home plate that Royals fans will never forget. The confidence boost that comes from winning a title can catapult players to stardom, and we could see that happening with Hosmer. He's not going to hit 30 home runs, but driving in 100 runs and posting a .400 OBP are realistic goals.
11. Freddie Freeman, Atlanta Braves (.276 BA, 18 HR, 66 RBI, .370 OBP)
The 26-year-old has been on the decline since hitting .319 and driving in 109 runs in 2013. He also slugged .501 that season. Last year, in just 118 games, Freeman hit just .276 and drove in 66 runs. The Braves are going to be awful this year, too, so don't expect big RBI numbers.
12. Chris Davis, Baltimore Orioles (.262 BA, 47 HR, 111 RBI, .361 OBP)
The Orioles got their man back, but whether or not that ends up being a good thing, well…we'll see. He's got tremendous potential, having hit 47 homers and driven in 111 runs last year, but Davis hasn't shown consistency year to year. In 2014, he hit .196. Last season, he struck out 208 times. He's the classic all-or-nothing power hitter, but to be effective in fantasy, his batting average and OBP have to stay reasonable.
13. Kendrys Morales, Kansas City Royals (.390 BA, 22 HR, 106 RBI, .362 OBP)
Morales doesn't actually play first base for the Royals very often, but he qualifies as a first baseman anyway. He had a terrific bounce-back season last year, knocking 22 homers and batting .390. He also played every day (158 games) and saw 569 at-bats, so he's more consistent and durable than you might think.
14. David Ortiz, Boston Red Sox (.273 BA, 37 HR, 108 RBI, .360 OBP)
You really think Big Papi is going to go out limping? Nah, son. The ageless slugger hit 37 home runs last year and racked up 108 RBI, on a middling Red Sox team. Boston's offense remains one of the best in the A.L., so he'll have plenty of opportunities to give fans memorable moments. He's not going to miss those opportunities.
15. Carlos Santana, Cleveland Indians (.231 BA, 19 HR, 85 RBI, .357 OBP)
Santana never quite became the prodigious, power-hitting catcher he was billed as when he was an Indians super-prospect back in 2009. But he's still a dangerous hitter, though he's far less valuable fantasy-wise at first base than he was behind the plate. His power numbers dropped off a little bit in 2015, as he hit just 19 homers compared to 27 in '14. Still, he's a consistent 80-plus RBI man who would be more productive if his batting average jumped.
16. Mark Teixeira, New York Yankees (.255 BA, 31 HR, 79 RBI, .357 OBP)
Teixeira was on his way to an A.L. Comeback Player of the Year award before he broke his leg and missed the final 50-plus games. Injuries are always the concern with Teixeira, and the main reason why he's so low on this list. He's also typically awful in April, and by the time he warms up, he gets hurt. Don't count on him as your starting first baseman, but he could give you some nice production off the bench for a while.
17. Byung-Ho Park, Minnesota Twins (.343 BA, 53 HR, 146 RBI in Korean league)
This kid's stats in the Korean Baseball Organization were video-game like, or at least big league like in the '90s. No one is quite sure what to expect from the 29-year-old, and the Twins do have Joe Mauer also sharing time at first base, so he's very hit-or-miss. Probably worth the gamble ahead of guys like Brandon Belt or Lucas Duda.
18. Brandon Belt, San Francisco Giants (.280 BA, 18 HR, 68 RBI, .356 OBP)
He won't give you a ton of offensive production, but the potential for a 20-plus homer season is there. Belt is 27 years old, so he might be entering his prime and could be a decent option in a deep league.
19. Lucas Duda, New York Mets (.244 BA, 27 HR, 73 RBI, .352 OBP)
Duda is extremely hit-or-miss, so only draft him if you don't mind riding out the month-long cold streaks. He does hit a lot of home runs, so if you need help in that category, he's a solid choice. His RBI numbers should increase in an improved Mets offense, too.
20. Steven Vogt, Oakland Athletics (.261 BA, 18 HR, 71 RBI, .348 OBP)
He'll be ranked higher as a catcher, where he'll be more valuable, but if you need to plug him in at first base, he's not a bad option there. Even though last year was an out-of-nowhere career year in which he made the All-Star team, we think Vogt will keep up relatively the same production this season.

With Red it was a total shock to him as how natural it all came to him. He was very excited that we were having a baby and he knew he loved her already but he did not realize how much insane, crazy love he would feel for her. Right from the start he bonded with her. We had some hickups in the beginning with me feeling overwhelmed with caring for her but once I told him I needed more help and in what way we got past it.
He adores her so much that he spends most of his spare time playing with her. She is "Daddy's Little Girl" through and through. He is traveling out of state for work right now and we go with him because he can't stand to be away from her for more than a day.
Advice for new mommies: Tell your husbands what your needs are with the baby. Take 30 minutes of each day for yourself. Have Daddy help out and be specific about what you need help with. They don't get it and in Red's case he was shocked as he did not realize how much I was exhausted.

How it works
It has been known for many years that human bone marrow contained a type of stem cells known as Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC's).
A few years ago it was discovered that MSC's are also found in teeth. These are superior to those found in bone marrow in every measurable aspect and extracting them is a non-invasive process unlike bone marrow aspiration. These cells have the ability to form many types of tissue including muscle, cartilage, nerve, bone, liver, insulin secreting cells, fat, and others.
BioEden was founded to make this technology available by extracting and banking those valuable cells for the future therapeutic use.
Watch the video to see just how easy the BioEden process is.

We recently produced a bespoke Shopify e-commerce website for a friend in New Zealand. Emma at The Little Card Factory needed a solution for her wholesale business, but also a new store front for selling directly to consumers.
The solution requires a few edits to Shopify's liquid templates (summarised below) and uses a combination of existing functions; liquid templates, product tags and customer logins.
The Little Card Factory is now two online stores in a single Shopify account – one for wholesale customers, and one for consumers.
Create a wholesale section with Shopify
This tutorial will help you set up a wholesale section in your Shopify store. This means that you'll be able to make certain products, collections, and pages locked down so that only customers that you've approved as wholesalers will have access to them.
This method uses Shopify's existing customer accounts feature–just tag the customer accounts who you've approved and they'll be able to access your wholesale products, collections, and pages.
Step 1: Edit theme.liquid
In your Shopify theme editor, open theme.liquid. Find the code that looks like this:
{{ content_for_layout }}
and replace it with this:
{% if template contains 'wholesale' %}
{% if customer %}
{% if customer.tags contains 'wholesale' %}
{{ content_for_layout }}
{% else %}
{% include 'wholesale-note' %}
{% endif %}
{% else %}
{% include 'wholesale-note' %}
{% endif %}
{% else%}
{{ content_for_layout }}
{% endif %}
Step 2: Add a snippet called "wholesale-note"
In the theme editor, click on Snippets in the sidebar and then click "Add snippet." Name it "wholesale-note." Copy and paste the code below into your new snippet:

This page is for approved wholesale customers only.

{% unless customer %}
Log in to your account |
{% endunless %}
Contact us to request a wholesale account.
This is the message that people will see if they stumble across a page/product/collection that you only want approved wholesale customers to see. It asks them to either log into their account to view the page or contact you to request a wholesale account.
If your contact page has a handle other than "contact-us," change the handle in the code above to link to the correct page.
Step 3: Add some templates
Click on Templates > Add a new template.
Choose "page" and call it "wholesale."
Repeat this process two more times, creating a new template for "product" and "collection," calling each one "wholesale." Shopify will automatically place some code in these templates for you–just leave it as is.
Step 4: Create some wholesale products
Create products in your Shopify Dashboard just like you normally do, but make sure to choose the wholesale template.
If you want to sell the same product at both retail and wholesale prices, just duplicate the retail version, change the price, and apply the wholesale template.
In the editor for any product, collection, or page, you can now choose the wholesale template. Any product, collection, or page that has this template will now be protected so that only approved wholesale customers can view it.
Step 5: Add the "wholesale" tag to your wholesale customers
I recommend creating a customer account for yourself first and tagging it with "wholesale" to test out the new feature. Go in your Shopify Dashboard to Customers, then create a customer account for yourself if you don't already have one. Open your customer account page, then scroll down to the bottom and add the tag "wholesale."
Next, go to the front end of your site and log into your customer account. If you've followed the steps above, you should be able to view your wholesale products but only if you're logged in.
If you log out of your customer account and try to visit a wholesale product, you should see the message we added above in Step 2. Feel free to modify that snippet to make the message say whatever you want it to say.
Step 6: Show a different navigation menu to wholesalers
The tricky part of this is how to make it so your wholesale customers can browse your wholesale collections and products. If they use your regular navigation, they'll be browsing the retail products and they won't see your wholesale prices.
To make it so your wholesale customers can browse your products and see the wholesale versions, we're going to modify your theme code to show a different navigation menu for visitors who are logged in and approved wholesalers.
This may be more or less difficult depending on which theme you're using. But the general idea is this:
We add code that says, "Are you logged in as a customer? If yes, are you an approved wholesale customer?" If the answer to both of these question is "yes," we show them a navigation menu that links to all of your wholesale collections. If the answer to either of these questions is no, we show them the normal site navigation menu that everyone sees.
Here's how to implement it:
In your theme editor, open theme.liquid and search for "main-menu." If you don't find anything, try searching for "navigation," "site-nav," "nav," "menu."
You can also look in the Snippets folder for a snippet called "site-nav," "navigation," or "dropdown."
The main thing we're looking for is the following code:
{% for link in linklists.main-menu.links %}
Once you find it, replace it with the following:
{% assign menu_handle = 'main-menu' %}
{% if customer %}
{% if customer.tags contains 'wholesale' %}
{% assign menu_handle = 'main-menu-wholesale' %}
{% endif %}
{% endif %}
{% for link in linklists[menu_handle].links %}
Important tip: Make sure to check and see if your theme has separate code for the mobile navigation. If so, you'll have to copy/paste the code above in two places.
There's one final step in this process: In your Shopify Dashboard, go to Online Store > Navigation and add a new menu. The menu should be titled "Main Menu Wholesale." Inside this menu, add whatever links you want your wholesale customers to see.
UPDATE: How to hide wholesale products from your search results
A potential issue that you may find is that your wholesale products show up in search results on your site. For example, if you have a search bar in the header of your site, and you do a search, your wholesale products may show up in the search results. You probably want to avoid this, so that regular customers can't see your wholesale products and pricing.
Here's how to hide wholesale products on your search results page:
1. In your theme editor, in the Templates folder, open search.liquid.
2. Find the code that looks like this:
{% for item in search.results %}
{% endfor %}
Add the following two lines of code, so the final result will look like this:
{% for item in search.results %}
{% unless item.tags contains 'wholesale' %}
{% endunless %}
{% endfor %}
3. Add the tag "wholesale" to all of your wholesale products.
With this code, your search results page will now check to see if a product has the wholesale tag. If it does, it will not be shown on the search results page.

Haveri, Oct 10, 2015 (PTI): Providing succour to distressed farmers, the Karnataka government today announced waiver of interest and penal interest on crop loans from cooperative banks for the current fiscal and hike in compensation from Rs 2 lakh to Rs 5 lakh to families of farmers who had committed suicide.
The government would also increase monthly widow pension from Rs 500 to Rs 2,000 and bear educational expenses of children up to post-graduation level in the families of farmers who had committed suicide, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said.
Siddaramaiah made the announcement at a rally at Gudugur in Haveri district in north Karnataka in the presence of Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi, who is on a two-day visit to the state which has seen a sudden jump in suicides with 541 farmers taking away their lives in the last six months.
Rahul, who visited distress hit Mandya district yesterday, had hinted at a relief package. He undertook a padayatra and interacted with farmers in Haveri district, besides addressing the rally today.
Siddaramaiah said the compensation in case of suicides would also be applicable to landless labourers.
Cooperative banks had also been asked to reschedule loans and defer recovery of instalments for a year, he said.
Siddaramaiah said the state government would also work towards getting higher Minimum Support Price, a subject that fell within the Centre's purview, for paddy, jowar and ragi.
The government, he said, had also ordered a crackdown on moneylenders who were fleecing the farmers and more than 1,300 cases had been booked against them with 568 arrested. "We will work for waiver of loans borrowed from money lenders also," he said.
Siddaramaiah appealed to the farmers not to commit suicide, saying "it is not the solution" and the government was with them in their crisis. The state has been facing severest drought for the past 10 years, suffering a crop loss of Rs 16,000 crore, he said.
Haveri : Rahul on padayatra, meets and comforts distressed farmers
Haveri (Karnataka) (PTI): Undertaking a padayatra and interacting with
farmers, Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi today counselled the peasants not to commit suicide as it was no solution to their problems.
On the second day of his tour of Karnataka to comfort the distressed families of farmers who had committed suicide, Rahul started about a seven-km long padayatra from Maidur village in Haveri district of north Karnataka.
At the first stop of his padayatra, the Congress MP had interactions with students at Maidur higher primary school.
Asked how he would solve the farmers' problems if he became the Prime Minister, Rahul said the country should be run by the citizens and they should be empowered to solve their problems.
During his interaction with farmers, he urged them not to commit suicide because it is not the solution. He met the farmers at Kandebagur helipad in Rannebennur, where they raised concern over Kalasa-Banduri row between Goa, Karnataka and Maharashtra.
The farmers urged Rahul to exhort pressure on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and request President Pranab Mukherjee to intervene to resolve the matter. About 50 farmers from Nargund and Navalgund and Hubli-Dharwad were present.
The Kalasa-Banduri Nala (diversion) project, to utilise 7.56 tmcft of water from the inter-state Mahadayi river, is being undertaken by Karnataka to improve drinking water supply to the twin cities of Hubballi-Dharwad and the districts of Belagavi and Gadag, over which Goa has reservations.
Protests are on by several organisations and farmers across districts of North Karnataka demanding implementation of Kalasa-Banduri project.
Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh, also in charge of party affairs in Karnataka, and KPCC President G Parameshwara are accompanying Rahul during his outreach to farmers.
Rahul had visited Mandya district yesterday. The visit of Rahul to Mandya and Haveri districts comes against the backdrop of a sudden rise in farmers suicides in the last six months in Karnataka with 541 peasants taking away their lives. Mandya and Haveri districts were the most affected by distress driven suicides.

I have a newsflash for you. That nicely outlined track with lots of tread pattern in it. The one with all sorts of detail that gives you loads of information. Yeah, about that. It rarely occurs out there.
Rarely during any tracking event will you get one nice big beautiful track, particularly in a wooded environment with lots of ground leaf litter. In an arid environment with lots of sand, yes. Not in my neck of the woods you won't. For those who track for tactical, SAR, hunting or just for the enjoyment in my area of the world, we must look to other means to help give us the information we are looking for.
Tall vegetation will help this tremendously to assist in determining direction of travel. Hopefully you watch a lot of Joel's shows, in it you will see him while he is evading others, doing counter tracking to ward this off. For those of us that are simply tracking a quarry that is not purposely employing counter tracking measure, we can get a lot of indicators when we change from one strata to another or go from one type of vegetation to another.
Vegetation, particularly grass, will offer us "pointers". In essence what happens is grass and other taller vegetation will follow along with your feet or lower legs as you walk through it. It will then get caught up, mixed up or otherwise twisted upon other pieces of similar vegetation. In this manner the grass will "point" in the direction of travel.
Let's consider this from a naturalist's perspective. Grass and other vegetation grows towards the sun. It will never purposely get entangled upon itself because it is always reaching upwards to the sun. Therefore if you trailing or tracking a quarry and you see grass that is not doing that, you should note this. It is what we call inconclusive sign. Meaning that it suggests that something has made the grass appear in that manner, but without more detail it does not tell us we are on the trail of the quarry we are after. If we get a good direction of travel, then hopefully we can follow it to more conclusive sign that tells us we are onto the quarry we are after.
Any good observer knows how to recognize the absence of the normal or the presence of the abnormal. I have studied the human condition from a hunter's, hand-to-hand, and tracker's perspective for many years, and I regularly come across this mindset in all that I do. I wish I knew who originally stated it. It is so true when it comes to tracking. If you are looking at some tall grass and you see that there are no pointers, you can surmise it is less likely your quarry passed in that direction. By so doing you eliminate that travel corridor as an area to investigate for further sign. If however you see one blade of grass that is out of place, you at least know it is more likely and you can focus your attention there when looking for more sign.
Nearly always in tracking our goal is to close the time and distance gap between our quarry and ourselves. By finding some grass "pointers" we can certainly save time in doing exactly that.
Until next time, come one, join in, let's learn together!

The Council Grove Republican, Friday, Oct. 25, 1912
Died: Oct. 15, 1912
James C. Carpenter was born of Quaker parentage in Wayne county, New York, Dec. 11, 1832. His parents moved to Michigan in 1834, where he lived when he went to Battle Creek, Mich., to learn blacksmithing with Nichols & Shepard, until the spirit of the gold country fired him with ambition to cross the plains and seek his fortune in the gold fields of California.
February 23, 1852, he and his partner, Herman Hodges, started their long and perilous journey with a team of French ponies to a light covered wagon, with provisions, and altogether little money for such an undertaking. Many thrilling experiences with Indians and privations were experienced. On June 28, 1852, he was in Salt Lake City, where he saw Brigham Young going to church with his seven wives. July 13 he continued the journey, arriving in Haugtown, Calif., Aug. 7, 1852.
Mr. Carpenter spent about two years in gold digging and on Aug. 1, 1854, started for home board the U. S. mail steamer, the John L. Stevens, arriving at Panama, he made the trip across the isthmus about where the Panama canal is now located, the means of conveyance being pack mules, walking and railroad. At Obispo he took the train for Aspinwall, where he stopped at the American house, then run by our former townsman, D. C. Webb. At Aspinwall he took the steamer Geo. Laws for New York, and from there went to his father's farm near Battle Creek, Mich.
Later he moved to Indianola, Ia., where he was married to Miss Elizabeth Fenner, Sept. 2, 1858. To this union four children were born, two of whom died in infancy; Jesse S. (editor of the Republican at time of his death) died June 30, 1901, and Mrs. C. M. Loy, who now lives in Council Grove.
In 1862 Mr. Carpenter enlisted in Company C, 39th Iowa Infantry, and was with Sherman on his march to the sea, and on the grand review at Washington, D. C. was discharged, arriving home June 16, 1865. In 1870 he with his family moved to Morris county, where he had since resided.
He was converted in a meeting conducted by Rev. J. A. Coe of the M. E. church, afterwards joining the Congregational church, under the ministration of his beloved comrade, Rev. Armsby, and until health interfered, attended services.
His manly, Christian life was an index to his character, and the esteem of his many friends and neighbors bespeaks the standing he so justly deserved. He died Oct. 15, 1912, aged 79 years, 10 months and 4 days.
Funeral services were held from
the home in East Council Grove, Oct. 17, 1912, at 2:30 p. m., conducted by Rev.
Blackledge, whose father was in the same corps during the war with Mr.
Carpenter, then making them close friends for a number of years. Rev. Ray,
one of Mr. Carpenter's nearest neighbors and who frequently called and gave
much cheer and comfort, assisted in the services. At his request full
military burial services were held at the cemetery.
