THREE STEPS IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. The past week has witnessed in this dis- trict quite a number of Educational Con- ferences at which some highly important questions, ultimately effecting th)e futurel questions, ultimately effecting t100 future interests of Wales and of Welsh Education I have been discussed. We desire to briefly refer to three of these, relating respectively to the three grades of educational institu- tions, elementary, intermediate, and col- llegiate. In connection with elelmentary schools, Mr E. Gray, M.P., hias been holding a num- ber of conferences in different parts of North Mr E. Gray, M.P., has been holding a num- ber of conferences in different parts of North Wales, and among them one at Bethesda I and another at Conway. The chief purpose of thefce conferences was to deal with the question of irregular attendance at school— of these conferences was to deal with the question of irregular attendance at school- an evil to which Mr Gray attributed, and perhaps rightly, the fact that foreign countries who pay more attention than we do to popular education, are able to beat us in the markets of the world, and even to crowd our home markets in this country withi their manufactures. The prevalence, wd had almost said, the universality, of the legend "Made in Germany," ia a sufficient proof that Mr Gray was right as regards this last statemeni, of fact, whether he was or was not in tho conclusion hie drew from it. Hispoint was that it was in every respect false and foolish economy to starve our ¡ schools, in buildings, equipment, or staff. Money expanded on these would, he main- tained, be a thousand-fold repaid later on. Parents d,) their children an irreparable in- jury by restricting too scope1 of their future career ir life by limiting their early educa- j tion. Speaking at Conway, he said that Bethesia Elementary School budldjfigs would in Switzerland, be hardly deemed good enough for a cowshed. Whether hie said -,o at Bethesda or not we cannot say. If he r idr't, he ought to have done. It is a sha Jie to a community like that of Beth- esda, tiat it should be content to go on year afi er year without a School BoaTd. The I spirit which has made that not only possible, but He ?itable, is responsible also for some at least of tbe grievances of which th Pen- > rhyu qi arrymen are again complaining. Taking the question of school attendance, and the necessity of appointing an efficient attendance officer, he proved by actual figures, that this would be an actual direct money gain to the locality. He instanced the case of Bethesda, where somewhere from 25 to 30 per cent. of the children are absent every day from school. If, he sadd, the average attendance in the Bethesda district could be raised only 10 per cent., it would bring in from the Government grant every year a f urthier sum of £ 270—and this would t pay the salary of an attendance officer three timets over. It should be remembered in this connec- tion that it is not only the children who ab. sent themselves from school who suffer from this evil. If it were so we might the more easily afford to put up with it. But the other children who attend regularly are also retarded in their progress by having to wait for these slower ones to catch them up. Ic is just like General French's cavalry in South Africa. After he has made a successful dash with hismen,- he is compelled to wait for days on end for the slower moving infantry to come up. Pre- cisely so is it in the Elementary Schools of Wales, where the bright scholars, by re- gular attendance, push rapidly forward, the whole class is suddenly pulled up because these 'irregular children cannot keep up I with the pace,—and the whole class must reach the examination together! I These considerations should stiffen the I back of the public in insisting upon apply- ing, if necessary, very drastic measures to ensure regular attendance. The Central Board held its half-yearly meeting at Carnarvon, and showed its zeal if not its common sense by sitting until late at night. Although a number of import- ant questions were practically shunted part- ly from want of time, partly from want of the will to deal with them, much necessary work was done. The most important ques- tion that came before tne Board, however, the training of pupil teachers, was prac- ( tically shirked. Nevertheless what the Cen- ( tral Board may find itself unfitted to deal ] with,other educational bodies must face.The problem presented by the question of the training of pupil teachers is too big and in- volved a one to be dealt with in a single paragraph, and must be left until an ar- ticle or a series of articles may be devoted to its consideration. But meanwhile we may say generally that the country expects more from the Intermediate Schools than they have yet given us. The outlay upon these institutions has been, is, and will con- tinue to be, enormous; and so far we are afraid the publ'ic are coming to feel that the country has had no adequate return for its outlay. It will be better for the authorities of these schools to frankly meet this feeling than, by ignoring it, serve to in- tensify it. Yesterday (Wednesday) at Rhyl was held what is in some respects the most important of the whole series of meetings. Inis was summoned by the authorities of the North Wales University for the purpose of taking steps to secure the establishment of a School of Mines in connection with the Col- lege. As to the desirability of such a de- partment there can be no question. Why is it and the question has been asked be- fore in our columns-why is at that at the Penrhyn Quarries, at theDinorwic Quarries, and all over the country, the higher engin- neering positions are' held by strangers? There can be but one answer because Welsh youths have not been afforded the facilities for aoquiring the expert know- ledge when they frequently possess a great- er degree of practical experience. Mr Wil- liam Griffith, of South African fame, is never weary of impressing upon his fellow countrymen that any amount of remunera- tive positions in the Colonies, Africa and Australasia, are open to Welshmen who can show qualifications as mining experts,—and that no country in the world presents bet- ter national facilities than Wales for enabl- ing her sons to acquire such knowledge. But from lack of educational facilities the natur- al advantages of the country are lost, and her children have perforce to be content to see the stranger superseding them in posi- tions they themselves ought to have held. It is this defect in our system which the authorities of the North Wales University College now propose to make good. It will, of course, involve a heavy outlay. But it will be money well spent. If the coun- try is alive to its own interests, owners of mining property, public bodies, and others, will readily come forward to assist in "what is probably one of the most practically valu- able projects whic the College has yet launched.
NOTES OF THE WEEK, A short while ago the Pwllheli Town Council resolved to confer the freedom of the borough upon Sir George White, the hero of Ladysmith, as a mark of their ap- preciation of his valour. Sir George, however, has replied, stating that he must deny himself the pleasure of going to Pwllheli, because he was resting at home for a short time preparatory to going again, on foreign service. If the Pwilbeli Town Council are anxious to confer the freedom of the borough upon someone we would suggest that they offer the honour to one of the many distinguished Welsh- men who have served their country faith- fully and well. The "Cambrian News" says that Mr Lloyd George, M.P., who spoke at Car- narvon last week, has unquestionably rendered Wales a great service by insis- ting on the right to speak his mind, and that Professor Hughes will have ample cause to remember the Carnarvon meet- ing. Mr George's speech at the Guild Hall was generally admitted to be a masterly one, but a Conservative contemporary has thought fit to describe it as "pothouse oratory!" The writer's invectives, which -3 coo ridiculous to be taken seriously, show plainly that Mr George's argumenjts have struck home. f ♦ At Conway, on Saturday, Mr E. Gray, M.P.,—who appeared in the role of an im- perialist at Bangor the other week—ad- dressed a meeting of teachers, upon the subject of the irregular attendance at the elementary schools of North Wales. A resolution deploring the irregularity of attendance, and calling upon the local authorities to take immediate steps to remedy the evil, having been carried una- nimously. Mr Gray said it was a marvel to him that Wales should have attempted to build up her excellent county schools upon a rotten foundation, because every observer of educational work would agree that to hope for good technical institutes and good technical schools there must be a foundation well laid in the primary schools of the country. The Central Welsh Doard met for the first time at Carnarvon on Friday, the meetings being held in the ne<v Intermed- iate School, which was informally opened on Tuesday. A variety of subjects were discussed, not the least interesting being the teaching of Welsh history in the schools. It was argued that Welsh child- ren were ignorant of the history of their own country. The absence of proper text-books was stated to be the reason for this, but one or two of the speakers thought that Professor Lloyd's historical readers would supply the want in a great measure. There was a short discussion upon a motion by Mrs Humphreys Owen that examination in vocal music for pupils between the ages of twelve and sixteen be not choral, but confined to solos, duets, or three-voice pieces. She urged that indivi- aual tuition was necessary, and quoted the opinion of some prominent choir-masters to the effect that the choir boys rarely had voices when they became adults. The proposition was, however withdrawn, one speaker holding that if passed the pro- posal would tend to destroy singing in the schools. The opinions of choir-masters do not apply to elementary and intermediate schools, where only music of the simplest kind is sung. The London correspondent of the "Wes- tern Mail" says that the question which many members of Parliament asked Mr Lloyd George on his return to the House of Commons was—how did he escape from the or cafe? But to their query Mr Lloyd George would give no definite reply. All that he would say was that, whilst the crowd surrounded the cafe until two or three in the morning, he him- self was tucked up in bed hours before. Evidently there was some backstairs creeping, but where and how must remain a mystery. "I understand" (continues the correspondent) "that the 'bard of the house,' as he likes to be called, is putting certain incidents of the demonstration into verse. Their publication should pro- vide interesting reading." Mr Lloyd George took part in a dis- cussion on local taxation In the House of Commons on Tuesday night. He de- nounced the idle system known as "grants in aid," and condemned even more strong- ly the method of this Government of picking and choosing certain favoured sections of the community for this form of assistance. The speech, according to the writer of the London Letter the "Liver- pool Daily Post," was "full of information and argument, bristling with telling party points, and enlivened by flashes of unex- pected repartee."
."Y Genlnen." The April number of "Y Geninen," just issued, contains a remarkable article from the pen of Mr Edward Foulkes, of Llanberis, a well-known Welshwriter, on "Thd War: The meditations of the man in the street." He says that the present war is the result of the Imperialist spirit of the English in its worst and latest form. The Celts are a part of the empire, for better and for worse, but thte englishman is the chief partner- the "predominant partner," as he himself says when that will answer his purpose; and this chief partner is responsible for the war and the shlame and loss that will follow it for a long time. The conscience and the voice of Wales condemn the war, and so do nearly all the Welsh newspapers and nearly all the Welsh members. Why does Wales con- demn the war ? Chiefly bc4cause she is against war. The Wol-,h people have ceased to be a warlike nation, and thely can never look upon war as a just means of settl- ing national disputes. The article, which is a lengthy one, contains indictmetats against those who may be responsible for the war. Among the other articles of interest in the numbe'r is one by Mr Marchant Wil- liams, B.A., om "The Normal Colleges of Wales." It teems with information on a subject on which the majority of Welshmen hteive very little knowledge. Professor T. Rees, M.A., writes upon "Deism and the new Theology." Cranogwen upon "The re- ligion of Wales in the next century; and the Rev J. Daniel, B.A., on "Strathclyde.' Other writers include well-known Welsh literateurs.
SPRING 1900. Messrs Ogg Brothers, the well-known warehousemen, of Paisley road, Toll, Glasgow) are issuing a very neat and comprehensive budget of oargains for the present season.

GROUP 206 strategically focuses on direct investment into companies with clearly defined business goals, a competitive advantage, and a superior management team to help the firm realize its potential value. Private equity is targeted at middle-market companies in the real estate, interactive entertainment, consumer electronics, technology, communications, media, packaged goods, toys, automotive, e-commerce and logistics businesses industries.
Under the umbrella of GROUP 206 companies, Taghavi created The Nima Taghavi Foundation in 2005. The foundation's focus is to make a difference in the lives of underprivileged children around the world and support thought leaders who positively impact our world. Organizations supported by the Nima Taghavi Foundation include the William J Clinton Foundation, Miracle for Kids, Miracle Ranch Children's Home, Orangewood Children's Foundation, Child Abuse Prevention Center of OC, Sick Kids Foundation, Children's Hospital Los Angeles, Children's Hope, St. Jude Children's Hospital, and the International Orphanage Relief Society.
In 2009, Taghavi founded Solutions 2 GO, USA in response to the evolving needs of the U.S. video game marketplace. Expanding from its operations in Canada, Solutions 2 GO USA is a specialized distributor of video game hardware, software, and accessories. Its major suppliers include Sony PlayStation, Activision and Nintendo, and its major clients include Wal-Mart, Kmart, Costco and Target.

In 1997, Taghavi founded and became CEO of Crave Entertainment Inc., a video game publishing firm dedicated to developing and marketing console video games distributed through its sister company, SVG Distribution Inc. Both companies became subsidiaries of the Crave Entertainment Group, which eventually grew to be the largest privately held video game distribution and publishing company in the United States. In 2005, Taghavi sold the company to The Handleman Company and stayed on as CEO to help with the transition until 2006.
In 1979, Taghavi entered the video game business with his original venture, Star Video Games (ultimately known as SVG Distribution), which he ultimately transformed into Crave Entertainment Group in 1997. Built from a start-up, Star Video Games was born out of Taghavi's budding passion for entrepreneurship at the age of nine when he began selling video games at weekend swap meets. SVG Distribution is a distributor of video game consoles and games, which now includes e-fulfillment of Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo products among others.

On the same day MySpace and the attorneys general for 49 states announced an agreement that will allow parents to have their kids' email addresses blocked from the social networking site we get this tragic story out of Florida:
A Tampa man met two girls, aged 14 and 12, through MySpace and met up with them to have sex. After the 14-year-old confided in her parents about what happened, the police nabbed the pervert after he attempted a second meeting with the younger girl.
Turn your irony sensors on now: When arrested he was wearing a shirt that read "Real Men of Genius." And that's the long and short of the humor here. Irony sensors off now. Thank you.
Nothing is funny about a predator skulking around MySpace looking for victims. It will be interesting to see how many parents take advantage of the new offering by the social networking site to let them block their children from signing up. Granted, this relies on the parents submitting their kids' email addresses in order to have them blocked, which may not be enough considering how easy it is to set up a new free email account. But at least it is a start.
What would you do to protect your kids from online predators? What do you do to protect yourself when you go online yourself?

I received this email today, and i thought proved a very valid point, and I thought it was funny. So read and enjoy:
I recently asked my friend's little girl what she wanted to be when she grows up. She said she wanted to be President some day. Both of her parents, liberal Democrats,were standing there, so I asked her,'If you were President what would be the first thing you would do?'
She replied, 'I'd give food and houses to all the homeless people.' Her parents beamed. 'Wow! What a worthy goal.' I told her, 'But you don't have to wait until you're President to do that. You can come over to my house and mow the lawn, pull weeds, and sweep my yard, and I'll pay you $50. Then I'll take you over to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out, and you can give him the $50 to use toward food and a new house.'
She thought that over for a few seconds, then she looked me straight in the eye and asked, 'Why doesn't the homeless guy come over and do the work, and you can just pay him the $50?'
I said, 'Welcome to the Republican Party.'
Her parents still aren't speaking to me.
I will just leave it at this, let you decide what the moral is, write your moral as a comment for others to read….

181-Justin Gaar-Filmmaker
What started out as a relatively simple phone call, sent filmmaker Justin Gaar on a three-year journey into the heart and mind of Christo Roppolo, a man who films UFOs. But a simple editing project soon became much more: a story of loneliness, heartbreak, belief, empathy and ultimately, of someone who is so unapologetically himself, he's almost more unbelievable than the UFOs he films. But as Justin tells us, we're just in the presence of one the great characters and loveable weirdos of our time.
You can watch 'The Curse of the Man Who Sees UFOs' on Netflix

The book explains all of the nutritional science between eating carbs at certain times of the day, in order to help you to maximise your weight loss. Managing your carbs when you are losing weight is important because eating carbs affects a hormone in your body called insulin.
This is your storage hormone, which is responsible for taking the food that you eat and transporting it to your cells. Your body will either use this food for energy or store it as fat.
Eating carbs will spike your insulin, which is why so many diets recommend that you cut carbs so that you can burn fat. However, The Half Day Diet explains that you don't need to cut out carbs completely to lose weight, you just have to eat them at the right time.
When you eat carbs at the right time you will be telling your body to burn them for energy so that you can rejuvenate your organs and muscles.
Benefits of The Half Day Diet
The main benefit of The Half Day Diet is that you will literally be able to have your cake and eat it too. You will be able to still continue to eat the carbs that you enjoy, such as pasta, bread, cakes, bagels and other carbs, while still being able to lose weight. That's the great part of this diet, it doesn't restrict you from anything.
Also, there are many other advantages to this program. You will be able to safely lose weight and you will also sleep better, as eating the carbs at night will trigger a release of serotonin and help you to sleep like a baby.
The program is really easy to follow and as long as you stick to the simple instructions you will start to see results right away. Many people have started to see a difference in their bodies in only 7 days.

These 5 Search Advertising Changes'll Shock You
When you're Google, you do fun things: foam pits, in-house slides to get to lower floors, puppies, beer Fridays…
More puppies.
But aside from the eclectic, can-do atmosphere most accurately portrayed in the award-winning film "The Intern," Google tends to drop a plethora of changes to their Search Advertising platform to do two things:
- Make search advertising more accessible and efficient for all
- Seriously keep you on your digital toes
Remember last year when Google decided to announce Expanded Text Ads and you had the opportunity to completely revamp your text ads while your peers slept on it? If you haven't, read our in-depth post on what that change was like here.
Most importantly though, we're once again bringing you the chance to jump on Search Advertising changes that Google is about to drop that'll change the PPC game. Now's your chance to get the jump on these updates and ramp up your conversions, CTR, and more!
In future, Google Search will be more audience focused and less click focused.
To many of us, this isn't surprising; whether it's the shift from banner ads, full page ads in print magazines and more traditional advertising, the shift in advertising has steadily been moving from the idea of consumers to the idea of citizens who are purpose driven, adaptive, less attentive and more benefit-inclined.
With Google's new changes that we're about to dive into, keep in mind that machine learning and the rise of voice search is making everyone rethink the relevance of keywords.
The keyword in that sentence being…relevance.
And life happens to happen fast. Whether it's expanded text ads, Alec Baldwin's Trump impersonation, or Lil Yachty's "Teenage Emotions" album, things just… happen.
Whether you're scouring Google for job sites to change careers, looking for the best new phone you can get, concert tickets or Canadian clothing brands, Google has a nifty way of tracking your search behaviour; remember our post on dynamic remarketing?
Google will specifically retarget ads towards your interests and behaviour based on your search history; this is why magically after perusing Google for movies like "500 Days of Summer" you've magically been shown an ad for a pint of Ben & Jerry's.
(You'll get that line when you watch the movie, which you should – because it's amazing, and not because it's almost summertime).
Guess what? YouTube and Gmail Ads will now follow a similar pattern by advertising towards audiences life events!
Meow, imagine if you were watching that video and letting your mind wander off work in the depths of YouTube, only to notice a nifty location extension beneath it that directs to a physical store that allows you to buy said pint of Ben & Jerry's we mentioned above…
Trust the data.
So when Google announced their 360 survey feature which allows users to collect data through a survey from specific sample audiences across the web, you bet that our account managers almost flipped their desks (out of joy).
This comprehensive set of data from Google 360 will help you to improve your ad copy testing significantly, since you'll now be able to understand more of the reasoning behind consumer decisions!
You may have heard that nowadays, users have the attention spans of…um…
*scrolls through Instagram*
Ah! Short attention spans. Which means that any landing page that your site has needs to load supremely fast to ensure a low bounce rate and higher CTRs on your products, services, CTAs, etc. A lower bounce rate ultimately results in a better user experience and better business, period.
Now, AMP ads on Google's Display Network can load up to 5x faster.
AMP Pages will not only help your display ads, but help boost your site traffic by sending users to AMP pages; the best part is that the ads will still look the same, so that you don't compromise at all on the creative aspect but drastically improve the loading speed.
These ultra-valuable subsets will now be clearly identified to help narrow the funnel on your Search Advertising efforts.
Google has Siri-ously realized the importance of voice searching and how many users engage with it to find local business, search for products, and more on Google's Search Network.
Now with Google Assistant, that — and so much more — are realities for your business. Now, your uploaded inventory will be displayed as stock levels to consumers in real-time, allowing for better buying decisions, and much better checkout experiences for end-users.
Considering the fact that a huge chunk of users now make their purchasing decisions over multiple devices throughout the day, Google Assistant is a home run for advertisers who want to increase efficiency throughout their purchasing process!

Yves Smith of Naked Capitalism reports on the OCC's newly released chart of payments made pursuant to the "Interagency Foreclosure Review" that ended in futility, with only the consultants being enriched for their hard work in botching the review.
One of our Tampa Bay witnesses recounted how Promontory argued that a borrower had not been harmed when his payment checks were sent back by the servicer: "the bank was sending back payments because the borrower was not making any." Huh?
As reader MBS Guy said via e-mail:
What is the point of sending $300 to 2.4 million people? Under what scenario does that accomplish anything?
The banks spent over $10,000 a loan in the IFR so that they could send the borrowers $300?
The servicers don't even get a release from liability in exchange for the payments.
About the only thing that seems to have been accomplished is that the IFR was stopped before higher borrower losses could be uncovered.
Even by the sorry standards of the earlier Treasury Dept shams, this is particularly lame.
The Wall Street Journal also focuses on the modest payouts:
The vast majority of borrowers being compensated for mortgage-related abuses will get $1,000 or less apiece, a sobering coda to a protracted attempt to help those who may have been placed into foreclosure as a result of banks' mistakes…
Those affected by foreclosure mistakes questioned the fairness of the payouts. Eric Krasner, 52 years old, of Duluth, Ga., filed for bankruptcy before losing his Frederick, Md. house to foreclosure in 2010, a mistake that should mean a payment of $62,500 according to the regulators' compensation schedule. Mr. Krasner, who had a mortgage of $365,000, filed for bankruptcy after a gift shop he owned sunk under the weight of the recession and wound up losing his home.
If the "bulk of people get $500 or $800 after losing their houses, is that making good on things?" he said.
Well it did accomplish at least one thing. It greatly enriched the consultants, particularly Promontory. Various sources have estimated that Promontory pulled in $1 billion in gross fees. For a services firm, that's a monster payday. And the firm's leadership wasn't doing too badly before the foreclosure reviews. As the New York Times reports:
But Promontory and other consultants are now facing scrutiny in Congress, amid growing unease over their influence and their close ties to federal authorities. The Senate Banking Committee is set to hold a hearing on Thursday to examine whether regulators inappropriately "outsource" oversight to consultants like Promontory, which are paid billions of dollars by the banks….
Banks are also privately raising concerns about Promontory and its steep fees, which can total as much as $1,500 an hour, according to people with knowledge of the matter. Bank executives, who were not authorized to speak publicly, said they sometimes hired Promontory to appease regulators, who think highly of the firm's expertise.
If banks, who are used to paying big ticket M&A fees and not-shy-about-charging consultants like McKinsey are choking on Promontory's fees, you know something doesn't smell right. They don't think they are getting the value, yet Promontory's dominant position leaves them feeling they have no choice.
The article focuses on the role of the founder and CEO of the firm, former Comptroller of the Currency, Gene Ludwig:
Mr. Ludwig has occasionally invited Fed governors and other top officials to parties at this 13,000-square-foot Washington home, an $11.5 million estate replete with a tennis court and a modern art collection. Mr. Ludwig, a former executive at Bankers Trust, is also a regular at the Four Seasons restaurant in New York, where he is known by name and salad order.
Promontory said that Mr. Ludwig entertains regulators on occasion but that "there is no discussion of current matters."
According to people with knowledge of the matter, Mr. Ludwig regularly travels by private jet and earns more than $30 million annually, making him better paid than top executives at many big banks. He has shared some of his fortune with a range of philanthropic causes, including the National Academy Foundation, Yale Law School and community groups like the Neighborhood Assistance Corporation of America.
Through Promontory and other companies, Mr. Ludwig has a vast reach, overseeing a private equity firm that invested in struggling banks during the financial crisis and another business that helps banks bundle mortgages and other consumer loans. He also started the Promontory Interfinancial Network, an independent firm that splits up companies' large bank deposits into multiple $250,000 chunks so that the F.D.I.C. will insure the cash. The business processes more than $1 billion a week in customer funds, according to court filings.
I strongly suggest you call or e-mail Sherrod Brown and other members of his subcommittee to express outrage and suggest questions. His hearings are scheduled for Thursday. Please also campaign for hearings in the House. Maxine Waters, who is the ranking member of the House Financial Services Committee, has asked for them, and public pressure would overcome Republican inertia. The most important targets are Jeb Hensarling, Scott Garrett (Capital Markets/GSEs Subcommittee Chair) and Randy Neugebauer (Housing Subcommittee Chair).

Global Teamwork: The rise of collaboration in investigative journalism
Media associated with this project
Click on icon below to download media
OverviewRecent major leaks of documents and data have seen new approaches to investigative journalism develop. Collaboration across countries and across organisations has been necessary to share the scale of the investigation, share expertise, and co-ordinate publication to maximise impact.
This new model of collaboration, in an industry otherwise focused on exclusivity, indicates ways of adapting to technological, business and political change to strengthen accountability journalism at a time when it is under pressure from multiple directions.
This book by Richard Sambrook - Professor of Journalism at Cardiff University and Senior Research Associate at the Reuters Institute - is a collection of essays from some of those closely involved in developing new models of collaboration in investigative journalism. It offers lessons from some of the recent major investigations, like The Panama and Paradise Papers and Edward Snowden's NSA files, and a framework for others seeking to mount major collaborative investigations in future.

OBPS Calculator
What is On Base Plus Slugging (OBPS)?
On Base Plus Slugging (OBPS) is a baseball metric used to combine a batter's number of hits with their slugging percentage.
It is intended to give a balanced perspective between the two statistics. On-base percentage does not take account the quality of each hit (how many bases it earned), while slugging percentage focuses on the quality of each hit, but does not show the odds of a hit happening (which puts a player on base and avoids an out).
Critics of OBPS note that the while OBP and SLG are given equal weight in the metric, OBP is generally considered to be a more important part of the equation (as much as 4 times more important) when weighting is considered (the Gross Production Average metric was built with the intention of better dealing with this metric). As well, the OBPS metric often produces a number that is difficult to understand to the general sports fan who is often used to seeing Batting Average statistics.
How to calculate OBPS
In Baseball, on-base plus slugging (OBPS) is calculated by adding On Base Percentage (OBP) and Slugging Percentage (SLG) together.
On Base Plus Slugging = On Base Percentage + Slugging Percentage
If a batter has an on-base percentage of 0.295 and a slugging average of 0.386, then:
Therefore, the batter's OBPS is 0.681.
What is On Base Percentage?
On-base percentage measures the number of times a batter gets on base in relation to their number of at-bats.
What is slugging percentage?
Slugging percentage measures the total number of bases earned in relation to the player's number of at-bats.

Mechanics & Locomotion
Aug 1, 2017
Summer is back to the North hemisphere and that means less clothes, more outdoor leisure in beaches and parks, freeing yourself from stifling winter garment and heavy shoes.
We have often referred in these pages that the feet are one of the most important parts of our body, because they support all out body weight. And the arrival of Summer is a great excuse for us to go to work in lighter footwear.
And, when going outdoors, many prefer to go shoeless, either on the beach sand, hanging around the pool or for a walk in the park. This option, however, is fraught with danger. Sharp objects, spurs, rocks and hot pavement can turn it to an uncomfortable option. Plus, the danger of slipping on wet surfaces is difficult to ignore.
But thanks to Italian company Sabato Alterio, there is an innovative foot protection for barefoot enthusiasts. The Nakefit is a protection device that places a unique protection layer over the bottom of the feet.
It is made with cutting-edge materials which make it possible to walk freely without shoes over hot surfaces, such as beach sand in the end of the day, or rough surfaces, such as paving and rocks.
They are hypoallergenic soles that you can stick onto your feet. Nakefit are constructed from a durable flexible plastic polymer that is cut-resistant and manufactured under practices that don't harm the environment. Each sole is resistant to scrapes and its elastic design stretches to accommodate all foot sizes. The adhesive is completely hypoallergenic and doesn't cause irritation or allergic reactions. Plus, it is also waterproof and they offer heightened grip, making them suitable to use around a swimming pool.
At the end of the day, wearers simply peel off the soles from the feet – it's a non-painful simple process. They can also be re-used at a later date or simple throw them away, as they are entirely recyclable.
The Nakefit comes in three colours – pink, blue or black – and they are available in a variety of sizes for both adult and children. Another excellent news is its price: 30 euros for a ten pack of Nakefit soles.

The Charter and Agreement place duties on Ofcom to consider the impacts of the BBC's activities on fair and effective competition.
As a large publicly-funded organisation, the BBC inevitably has an impact on competition in the wider media market. It may have a positive effect by increasing choice or encouraging sector wide innovation, for example. But in fulfilling its objectives, the BBC may also harm the ability of others to compete effectively.
Ofcom's role is to assess the impact of the BBC's activities on competition. We have developed rules relating to different areas of BBC activity that could lead to competition concerns and guidance to explain the tools we will use to protect fair and effective competition in the areas that the BBC operates.
BBC iPlayer Competition Assessment: Consultation on Ofcom's provisional determination (PDF, 1.5 MB)
BBC iPlayer Competition Assessment: Final determination (PDF, 813.3 KB)
We have concluded that the BBC can proceed with planned changes to BBC iPlayer, subject to certain conditions and guidance.

Chris Priestly posted a thread in the official Bioware forums confirming which of Hawke's companions will be romanceable throughout the game. Details (and spoilers) after the break.
From the forum thread:
Hello Dragon Age 2 fans.
Happy Valentine's Day to one and all. We know many of you have romance on your minds today, so we thought we would confirm for you the potential romance characters in Dragon Age 2.
You can choose to romance:
Keep in mind that all Dragon Age 2 romances are optional, so you can choose to follow these subplots or not as you prefer. All four NPCs also have other non-romance subplots that you can again choose to follow if you want to learn more about these characters. To learn more about the romances, you will need to play Dragon Age 2.
So, if you are romantically inclined during your Dragon Age 2 playthroughs, you now know who you can pursue. Pitch your woo accordingly.
So, Varric's out as a love interest. Dammit, Dwarves always get the short end of the stick. Wait... I didn't mean that pun.
Anyways, you can check out the announcement thread here. Chris also posted some short stories written by the Dragon Age team that gives some backstory to the 4 romanceable characters. In particular, Anders' story is interesting in giving the duality between the mage and his newfound tenant.
Credit for the pic goes to Aimo, who shares my pain.

A large and unusually warm mass of water is threatening to disturb the marine ecosystem along the Pacific Coast from Southern California to Alaska, scientists from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Thursday.
They call it the Northeast Pacific Marine Heatwave of 2019, and if it doesn't dissipate soon, researchers said it could be as destructive as the infamous "blob" of warm water that caused massive toxic algae blooms along the coast and wreaked havoc on whales, salmon, baby sea lions and other marine life in 2014 and 2015.
"Really, only time will tell if this feature will persist and if it will rival the past event in duration and impact," said Andrew Leising, a research oceanographer at NOAA's Southwest Fisheries Science Center in La Jolla.
Marine heat waves are defined as oceanic events in which the surface temperature of the water is warmer than 90% of past measurements for at least five days in a row.

A private K-12 school has applied for a special permit to build in a residentially-zoned area in a CT town. Neighbors in opposition have questioned whether residential districts are the appropriate zones for schools. Has anyone researched this? I would like to know about journal articles or book chapters that explain the basic land use planning philosophy that schools are integral parts of communities and so should be placed near to (within walking distance of) the homes sending schoolchildren. I am not asking about impacts of schools in residential areas (the special permit requirements will handle that)- but a more fundamental question about the siting of schools and residences together. Thanks.

My mother, was a woman who many consider an odd bird because she just let people talk and didn't fall prey to jaw jackers and subtle deceptions of people. She was quiet by nature but witness some things in her life to put the brakes on traditionalism… I was told "traditions" die many deaths…That speaks volumes today! My "mom" let me know upfront. See things for yourself not because one does it. I live this day by it. I pay attention not so much of what you are saying it what one produces and who they really are.
It works!
I can recall my former Pastor many years ago who I just adored had a way of showing God's people just how easily duped they are. He was Italian, and he played some "Opera" for us one Sunday. People were cheering and just doing what they do being phony. He asked how many of us loved the music and there was a show of hands. He said, although the music sounded great we had no idea what was actually being fed to us.
Then he had given the English interpretation to the song…The Opera Singer…was sandblasting all of us and calling us all kinds of names and a bunch of fools. It was a prank! I laughed so hard, that I couldn't get it together. People actually got angry. They felt he made a fool out of them in church. No… His message was quite simple… He was merely showing us how easily we follow things on senses. And how we think we are enjoying life living a lie and live a lie for years because of ignorance and that we have no knowledge about including God.
He said religious people are often fed things without knowing and so they go along with every unsound doctrine and without mere common sense but goes with what feels good and with what resonates with the flesh
How many have honestly "capitalized" on the pseudo Dr. Martin Luther King's dream is almost sickening. I hear so many actually believe that they are walking in his foot steps but leave a trail of manure along the way. And they know that ignorant people will follow the game and that's why it's played. I hear people talk the talk but very few really understand the threat of freedom because many actually play it safe.
People are afraid to the tell the whole truth and nothing but in fear of the backlash and the none populous it brings. The other nonsense about what our people need because it will vary from house to house. Without a vision people perish and never said a leader.
We place too much stock in the game players that build nests in the head of God's people. Stuff I can't believe that many buy into. Just like the lies of Hitler it doesn't take long to deceive people once they find that right hook people follow other leaders out of laziness to think for themselves. I don't trust it and I have learned to do my homework! Everything you belive outside the box frightens people because they went along with the people
When Dr. King's Day I arrives… I am elated for the review of history where it went wrong and were is stayed right. We are fed but is anyone really paying attention?
The downside is the horse and pony acts I can do away with. False prophets don't necessarily mean that what they said never happens but its the deceivers that feed you just enough truth and then bait you end with more lies..
Everyone climbs aboard not with the celebration of actually tackling anything but the greater human goods and services that should be on a regular.
Many have found their nitch when they can make money pretending that they followed "The DREAM"… and I have to ask what dream is that? Although we have more technology and information like never before still there are the lies about both Malcolm X and Martin King. Malcolm X. whom I believe was a very wise men undoubtedly had to have his eyes open to the lies and subtle deception of making anyone their "personal" Messiah.
People mention the "Son of God" and trying to emulate all his ways unsuccessfully because their hearts are not really there. How many are actually prepared to do a walk out on their immediate traditions and religion? It's a scary move because it requires that you take away what you thought and come away with the truth. Our nations buys into materialism inside religion. Christ saw how the church house was being used as a market place and much hasn't changed. It's ego and pride all the way. How can you really have peace standing up with the liars of today?
Dr. King was flawed human being just all of us. Yet, many say what he stood for means everything to them. And I have to ask what is it that you came away with? His dream or the dream to make money in the name of God and a few good services. This doesn't make you a Dr. King follower. You can't really follow what you don't believe.
Con artist activism is still alive and well from the podium to the pulpit. Malcolm X. just came out with it and he banished from the kingdom of the dream because he was honest and redemptive. Malcolm X. might have been more hated but he wasn't a fake! His cutting edge had the truth and their was no room for passivity and playing games! He reflected a life of discipline and self-respect. Like it or not. He wasn't trying to pretend to others what his service was but he wanted us to beware aboudt the wolves that prayed with us and those "preyed" on us and that ignorance was destroying our people…
Nothing wrong here!
It doesn't necessarily means many are sold out to what they believe in and some have made a "mockery" of Kings' dream without integrity and character. People suck up the fantasy because it looks like it, it smells like, it talks like it. In all honesty too many don't have a clue but just have people following blindly without sincerity and credibility. Many leaders ride some lines I know the bible teaches against it. And have all of their rebuttals in place and well rehearsed.
I know that everyone doesn't believe in the bible but false religion and dangerous traditions smorgasbord their lives with a few chapters and verses here and there and skip have true compassion and a relationship with God on the real.
I learned quickly about the danger of allowing people to try to pick me off because I'm quiet in nature. Deceivers come as angels of light and never forget that. You can't be unless you know! Many of them have no clue all you really have to do…is look at the fruit they actually bear and stop talking yourselves out of seeing people for who they really are!

Of course, Shawnee has a life, so don't write her every two hours. But you'll be shocked how quickly and easily Shawnee will be able to figure out what you're doing wrong and correct it – just by asking you a few simple questions!
