The International Diversification Puzzle is Worse Than You Think
Marianne Baxter, Urban J. Jermann
NBER Working Paper No. 5019
Although international financial markets are highly integrated across the more well-developed countries, investors nevertheless hold portfolios that consist nearly exclusively of domestic assets. This violation of the predictions of standard theories of portfolio choice is known as the 'international diversification puzzle.' In this paper, we show that the presence of nontraded risk associated with variations in the return to human capital has dramatic implications for the optimal fraction of domestic assets in an individual's portfolio. Our analysis suggests that the returns to human capital are highly correlated with the returns to domestic financial assets. Hedging the risk associated with nontraded human capital involves a short position in national equities in an amount approximately 1.5 times the value of the national stock market. Thus optimal and value- weighted portfolios very likely involve a short position in domestic marketable assets.

So Kroger will no longer be competing only with Walmart and Target; they'll all be competing with ABC, NBC, FOX, Yahoo, AOL, Meredith ... they will become publishers. So we hired a media company, Zenith, to help us with what we call "shopper media" - people that work with WMX and Amazon. That was a big bet we made and we jumped in. What's it like working with Amazon? BERGSMA: Amazon is the biggest product search engine in the world, so search is big for us in that space. Banner ads are big too, and they can lead to our websites or lead to a coupon, depending upon our joint objectives. We have videos on Amazon, and some of the best-in-class product pages. Amazon is way ahead of the industry with ideas like "Subscribe & Save," which is a perfect capability for a category like toilet paper - who doesn't need to buy toilet paper on a regular basis? We've been very good at leveraging ratings and reviews, which is the modern "word of mouth;" people trust a review from Amazon more than our ads. The only thing that's missing is the traditional instore experience, right? Well, when you order Brawny on Amazon, the shipping case that's delivered to your doorstep has the Brawny giant printed on it. And there are more ideas to come, but [laughing] I'm not going to inform my competitors. You seem to be shaking up your staff as well.

Laura Knebusch, for example, was actually running our Dixie brand; Russ Ferrara has a career on the digital side of shopper and knows a lot about media. When we hire for shopper marketing roles, we look in the digital space first. There's going to be a whole new breed of shopper marketers and maybe we should change the name to signify that. It sounds like "Shopper Marketing 2.0" or something. BERGSMA: Since we rebooted internally, a lot of people now refer to it as "the new shopper marketing," and also as "shopper media marketing."

There's no doubt that the digital revolution has opened a whole world of insights with the data now available to us during product and software development. However, the importance of well planned qualitative research shouldn't be ignored. In fact, it can greatly enhance your quantitative data collection methods to understand customer needs more deeply.
Here we take a look at the best methods for conducting qualitative research and how those all important findings can be translated into tangible results for your product.
As a business designer obtaining qualitative feedback you should always sit back and observe, but the best way to do this depends on the product you're developing.
Hi-tech or complicated products require the use of prototypes for users to test. For example, software that's being designed specifically for nurses and doctors are generally highly complex due to the nature of MedTech products. It's so important for users to be able to misuse the software during research to discover any flaws or shortcomings present in the product design. It only takes a few really empathetic interviews with the prototype to really understand the emotional side of the customer and any challenges they face when using the product. These could be simple discoveries, such as certain areas of information being difficult to access or input not being intuitive, but for healthcare the impact of these being carried through into the final product could be detrimental.
For simpler products, questionnaires can be very helpful to get a sense of the trends. Interviews are an investment as they require volunteers and time to collect and transcribe the data, but they can be extremely insightful. Social media is another effective way to reach product users for broad questionnaires or diverse data pools, just be sure to be mindful of GDPR regulations when conducting any form of public data collection.
With both methods, the types of questions and how they are phrased should be considered closely. Open questions encourage unbiased truths that get to the core of the problem but leading questions can often serve to support the answer you want to find.
There are plenty of physical and digital tools that can help. Data collection is a breeze when using software such as Survey Money or Typeform. These digital questionnaire platforms are highly flexible and can even be personalized to match your company brand to create a professional experience for your users. For physical interviews a few simple tools such as a camera or dictaphone can be all that's needed to capture your data - don't always go for the hi-tech option, but choose the right tool for your research method.
Once you've decided which method and tools are the best fit for your product the next step is to understand how to use all those valuable insights. To get the most out of qualitative data is important to create a feedback loop to your quantitative data.
For example, if you release a new feature in your software, how do your users respond? If you add something to the front-end UX do people like it more or less? Do certain user groups find certain elements of the software more difficult?
Gathering insights on these kinds of challenges allows you to deliver specific software iterations based on the information to dig deeper and understand exactly what it is about that feature that is resonating with your users. This is a great time to bring in A/B testing to nail whether changes are equally useful for different types of users.
Compared to long-term quantitative KPIs, qualitative testing is the kind of data that you can quickly measure. However, don't let that fool you into thinking it's a one-time or short-term exercise. People change and your product changes so adaptability to the market is key. You need to understand what customers want, both now and in the future, so repetitive evaluations should always be conducted.
Even if your qualitative research was conducted for a specific product purpose, don't be afraid to use these insights to support other areas of the business. Marketing and branding are key departments who might be able to use this intel to help build their Value Proposition Statements and Unique Selling Points.
The 'whole-business' approach is undoubtedly the new mode of working. Collaborative team spirits and agile methodologies are not just cultural developments but are actually the best way to stay competitive in the extremely fast product cycles in today's markets.
Sometimes you make an assumption about the value of a product feature and base your whole research framework on this. However, on conducting your research you may find that the data brings forth an entirely different finding. When working solely in numbers and quantitative evaluation it can, at times, be hard to spot these insights and challenge your expectations.
Qualitative research allows you to look at your product from a different perspective and challenge your expectations on the market. If you do unearth an insight you mustn't be afraid to listen, even if it means changing your processes or long-term plans - turning those insights into a reality helps your team create the best possible product.

This may be a good look for the "Transformers" franchise.
Paramount must have realized that audiences were getting Transformers fatigue. The first film in the franchise starred Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox, Tyrese, and Josh Duhamel. It was directed by Michael Bay, and featured a heartfelt story about a fish-out-of-water boy who meets an equally displaced Bumblebee. The moments of emotion and comedy were soon replaced by more and more action scenes, until we reached the Mark Wahlberg starring Transformer flicks. Now, Paramount is taking a step back to focus on what made the first movie so good, the relationship between Bumblee and his human friends.
The upcoming Bumblebee movie looks much better than anything we've seen from the franchise in years. The film takes place in the 80's, and focuses on Bumblebee's first major adventure on Earth. Hailee Steinfeld and John Cena star in the flick, with that latter poised to play a villain. In a new trailer that was released for Bumblebee, Optimus Prime makes a quick appearance via hologram, and his 80's look is on full display. "You must protect Earth," commands Prime to Bumblebee. The trailer also hints at the plot, which appears to focus on Decepticons deceiving the US government into believing that Bumblee is an enemy of the planet. Bumblebee hits theaters on December 21.

Post Agni-V test, China vouches for preserving strategic balance, stability in South Asia
| Updated: Aug 23, 2017 11:20 IST
Beijing [China], Dec. 27 (ANI): In the wake of India's test firing of the Agni-V ballistic missile, China has said that Beijing and New Delhi have reached an important consensus that both countries are not competitors but partners in cooperation as developing emerging economies. "The UN Security Council has explicit regulations on whether India can develop ballistic missiles capable of carrying nuclear weapons," said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying. She said China always maintains that preserving strategic balance and stability in South Asia is conducive to peace and prosperity of regional countries and beyond. Hua said India can only reveal its intentions. The spokesperson said China is willing to work alongside regional countries, including India, to maintain long-lasting peace, stability and prosperity of the region. "We also hope that relevant media can report in an objective and sensible manner and do more things to contribute to the mutual trust between China and India and regional peace and stability," she said.

Michael found that part-time study led to a big step up in his career.
'I wasn't particularly academic at school but here I am, achieving a first-class honours degree.'
After leaving school I joined an instrument apprentice scheme with ICI. While working as an assistant asset engineer for Huntsman, I decided that I would like to work towards chartered status. After a discussion with a Teesside University advisor, I enrolled on the BEng (Hons) Instrumentation and Control.
Obviously, after many years out of study I was apprehensive about being able to successfully complete the course – but my employer was willing to sponsor my studies so, in the words of my lecturers, 'What did I have to lose?'.
I can honestly say that the lecturers' enthusiasm, approachability and desire to teach is the best I have ever experienced. My friendships with lecturers and students will continue long after I graduate. This new group of friends was invaluable throughout the course: sharing ideas, supporting each other, the odd social night out, working together on assignments – and they provide great networking opportunities.
I am married with two daughters – the youngest was born during my study time – and I have, at times, had to make a number of sacrifices. I have relied heavily on my family's encouragement and the support they have provided throughout the four years. Make no mistake, studying, working and raising a family at the same time is no easy task. But now, as my study draws to an end, I can begin to see the rewards for sticking at it.
I have just got a job as a measurement and instrument projects engineer with BP Exploration. This is a significant step up in my career and progress to chartership. Without doubt, this would not have been possible without my degree.
I truly believe this degree has and will continue to change my life for the better – not only in terms of career and salary but in proving to myself that I can do it! I wasn't particularly academic at school but here I am, achieving a first-class honours degree! Some achievement from a local Boro lad.

ELUCIDATING RECRUITMENT STRESSORS FOR THE MARYLAND STATE ENDANGERED COMMON TERN (Sterna hirundo) THROUGH USE OF A MINIMALLY INVASIVE SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM
Marban, Paul Ramon
Murrow, Jennifer L
Prosser, Diann J
MetadataShow full item record
In this thesis, I monitored two breeding colonies of the Maryland state endangered common tern (Sterna hirundo) using a surveillance system composed of video cameras and temperature loggers. This system was coupled with an in-depth image analysis of Landsat scenes to quantify island loss in the Chesapeake Bay and coastal bays of Maryland and Virginia from 1986 to 2016. Incubation duration was determined through analysis of both in-nest temperature and video footage. Incubation trends varied between colonies but an overall trend of nighttime desertion was observed on Skimmer Island as a result of predator presence. Island loss was documented in the region since 1986. Area of beach habitat, key for breeding populations of this species, increased in 1996 and 2011 as a result of sand accretion on coastal islands and the construction of Poplar Island. All other habitat types declined. This thesis is the first to document island loss in the Chesapeake Bay beyond 2011 and the first to quantify the impact of Poplar Island's construction on the region. To promote future breeding of common terns in Maryland, resources must be allocated to create new habitat islands removed from the mainland and free of nesting predators. Existing islands must also be supplemented yearly with substrate to mitigate erosion from sea level rise.

How do I change the temp - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KsOk00zgZ0
Why does my PID temp vary when I first use it? - The PID has a built in AUTOTUNE feature. When you first use it you must run the auto-tune feature. If you don't use this feature it will run using the factory defaults which may or may not work properly based on the heating characteristics of your device.
Can I use the PID on multiple devices - Yes you can but please keep in mind that the second device will not operate as efficient has the first device. Meaning the temp will not be as stable unless you allow it to autotune again.
How to convert the PID over to 220 power - This is simple. The PID comes setup for universal power (85 - 285 vac 50/60hz) It just requires you to cut the 120 plugs and wire directly to 220vac using the white wire as L2.
How to setup Autotune
For PID control mode, if the control with default P, I and d parameters settings are not able to hold the target temperature, the built-in auto tune function can find the right PID parameters for the system automatically.
When on heating mode, it will heat up the system to the target temperature then let the system cool down.
It will repeat this process for about 3 times, then the controller will calculate the parameters.
To activate the auto tune function, press and hold the > key until the "AT" indicator starts to blink. When auto tune process finished, the "AT" indicator will stop blinking.
The new values for parameters P, I and d are calculated by the controller.
To stop the auto-tuning, press and hold > key for 3 seconds, until "AT" indicator stops blinking. The PID parameters values will not change.
Please note: The sensor, load (heater…) need to be connected properly, otherwise, the auto tune will not complete.
The time for the auto tune depends on the system response time, would be from a few minutes to hours. Only need to run auto tune one time.

Attention Disorders
When an individual has trouble paying attention or controlling impulses, a healthcare professional will usually diagnose an attention disorder. One of the most common attention disorders recognized by healthcare professionals today is ADD. ADD shares symptoms with several other conditions, however, so it is critical that the disorder receive a proper diagnosis. Located in the State of Washington, Free by the Sea has a well-trained staff uniquely qualified to help diagnose and provide treatment for a wide variety of attention disorders.
Serving the Nation, based in the Pacific Northwest.
Classic Attention Deficit Disorder
Classic Attention Deficit Disorder is more commonly known as ADD. Because the condition is common and well-researched, ADD is easy to diagnose. Common symptoms of ADD are as follows:
- Failing to pay attention
- Being disorganized
- Becoming easily distracted
- Being hyperactive
- Often unable to control impulses
ADD symptoms are not limited to the ones listed above.
Brain scans taken from people who have been diagnosed with ADD often show regular brain activity during restful periods. However, when a person with ADD takes part in a focus-intensive task, scans of their brains reveal a low amount of activity. To treat ADD, a healthcare professional will prescribe Ritalin or recommend other natural remedies that will help increase dopamine levels. Regular exercise is also recommended to manage ADD.
Inattentive ADD
Healthcare professionals will give a diagnosis of inattentive ADD when they observe extremely low dopamine levels and a decrease in activity of the prefrontal cortex. Unlike those with ADD, individuals with inattentive ADD don't demonstrate hyperactive or impulsive symptoms. Females are also more commonly diagnosed with inattentive ADD than males. Some symptoms of inattentive ADD are the following:
- Becoming easily distracted
- Procrastination
- Disorganization
- Inability to pay attention for extended periods of time
While people with inattentive ADD do not display the same hyperactive or impulsive symptoms as those with ADD do, they do tend to spend a lot of their time staying withdrawn and daydreaming. This attention disorder is typically treated by increasing the patient's dopamine levels.
Over-Focused ADD
Individuals with over-focused ADD generally exhibit all of the basic ADD symptoms. The difference between the two attention disorders is that people with over-focused ADD present the additional symptom of having trouble with shifting attention. People with over-focused ADD tend to focus on negative thoughts or exhibit negative behavior. Over-focused ADD is characterized by a decrease in both dopamine and serotonin levels and an overactive anterior cingulate gyrus (which is commonly called the brain's "gear shift"). Healthcare professionals treat over-focused ADD by increasing the patient's dopamine and serotonin levels.
Temporal Lobe ADD
The brain's temporal lobe is responsible for regulating memory, learning, and mood. When an individual is coping with temporal lobe ADD, they struggle with learning, memory, and severe anger or aggression. At times, they exhibit symptoms of extreme paranoia. Temporal lobe ADD is generally treated with magnesium supplements, which specifically treats their symptoms of anxiety and irritability.
Limbic ADD
A person diagnosed with limbic ADD will show all of the basic ADD symptoms but will also frequently feel an underlying sense of sadness. Other symptoms observed in an individual with limbic ADD include the following:
- Moodiness
- Fatigue
- Feelings of guilt and helplessness
- Feeling of low self-esteem
Despite what they may imply, the symptoms of limbic ADD do not indicate depression. A patient with limbic ADD actually has an overactive limbic area in their brain. The limbic area is responsible for regulating mood. Limbic ADD is treated by increasing a patient's dopamine levels.
Ring of Fire ADD
Ring of Fire ADD gets its name from the familiar "red ring" that shows up in brain scans of individuals with this attention disorder. Essentially, a person who has ring of fire ADD has several overactive areas throughout their brain. Symptoms of ring of fire ADD tend to be sporadic. Some examples include, but are not limited to, the following:
- A display of unpredictable behavior
- Sensitivity to light and noise
- Periodic bursts of mean or nasty behavior
- Periodic bursts of anxiety
- Periodic bursts of paranoia
Treatment for ring of fire ADD includes diet changes and blood pressure medication. Stimulants, however, may be harmful when prescribed to people with this attention disorder.
Anxious ADD
Anxious ADD is characterized by the basic symptoms of ADD accompanied by tension, anxiety, stomachaches, and headaches. Typically, the physical aches and pains manifest due to stress. Brain scans of individuals suffering from anxious ADD show a very high basal ganglia. Anxious ADD is treated through the use of antidepressants, calming supplements, and relaxation.
How Are Attention Disorders Diagnosed?
A patient must present symptoms of an attention disorder for at least six months before a healthcare professional can make a diagnosis. Symptoms usually interfere with a person's work or school life. The most common attention disorders symptoms are as follows:
- Inability to focus or pay attention
- Failing to listen
- Frequent forgetfulness
- Overlooking detail
- Failing to follow instructions
- Avoidance of difficult tasks
Common symptoms of hyperactivity are as follows:
- Interrupting others
- Fidgeting or squirming
- Talking excessively
- Being active in unsuitable situations

Thakurgaon, Aug 11 (UNB) - BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Sunday said dengue turned into an epidemic due the government's indifference and lack of accountability.
He made the comment while talking to reporters at his residence in the district town in the morning.
Bangladesh is struggling to control the outbreak of the mosquito-borne disease. The situation is likely to worsen during this Eid holiday as millions of people have travelled to their village homes to celebrate the festival.
So far, the government has confirmed 40 dengue-related deaths so far as more than 8,000 people, including children, are currently being treated at hospitals.

A commensal strain ofStaphylococcus epidermidisprotects against skin neoplasia
OPEN Science advances | 7 Mar 2018

We report the discovery that strains ofStaphylococcus epidermidisproduce 6-N-hydroxyaminopurine (6-HAP), a molecule that inhibits DNA polymerase activity. In culture, 6-HAP selectively inhibited proliferation of tumor lines but did not inhibit primary keratinocytes. Resistance to 6-HAP was associated with the expression of mitochondrial amidoxime reducing components, enzymes that were not observed in cells sensitive to this compound. Intravenous injection of 6-HAP in mice suppressed the growth of B16F10 melanoma without evidence of systemic toxicity. Colonization of mice with anS. epidermidisstrain producing 6-HAP reduced the incidence of ultraviolet-induced tumors compared to mice colonized by a control strain that did not produce 6-HAP.S. epidermidisstrains producing 6-HAP were found in the metagenome from multiple healthy human subjects, suggesting that the microbiome of some individuals may confer protection against skin cancer. These findings show a new role for skin commensal bacteria in host defense.

Like a series of waves, life tumbles upon the beach of our souls.
Surging, ebbing, trials, and tribulations wash ashore. But what do we allow to stay behind?
We can glean analogies of struggles and tangled masses of seaweed, or the debris of unforgiveness lying about. We all need to keep our coast clean, so to speak. However, this morning I thought about something else.
It's not Mother's or Father's Day, but I thought about my parents. I remembered a specific occurrence that took place, which changed the course of my life. Then an undercurrent pulled me to another direction, and I thought about–them.
What upsurge took place in their lives? What did they endure? Did they encounter sorrow because of the death of a loved one; did they receive shame because they were fired from a job? Were they able to withstand temptation, or did they ever feel they weren't loved?
These events can occur, but my parents didn't share what washed upon the beach of their lives. However, realizing they must have received a multitude of pounding undulations throughout the years gave me a different perspective of who they were; their frailties, and mine.
My question today to you is, what was on your parents' beach?

The Hurt Locker is without a doubt, the best movie of the year so far (and that means something since we are at the half-way point). Now before you think I'm just hyping this as a masterpiece and that doesn't mean anything because I'm just a lonely blogger on a little known review site, then know this- The Hurt Locker has achieved universal acclaim (not almost universal acclaim, but just 'plain-and-simple' universal acclaim). The film opened up at many festivals and was greeted with enthusiastic response from the crowds, often receiving prolonged applause when the credits rolled. The film is a definite contender to secure a nomination for Best Picture, Best Director (Kathryn Bigalow), Best Original Screenplay (Mark Boal), and Best Actor for Jeremy Renner. This is also the first film about the Iraq War that is flawless. Vietnam and WWII both have their share of perfect films, but films about the Iraq War have been met with skepticism mainly because of the filmmaker's political agendas. The Hurt Locker is not a liberal film or a conservative film, it is quite simply about war and the men who fight it.
War is depicted as a drug, and for Staff Sergeant William James, there is greater thrill then using a drug like war. Jeremy Renner plays James like a down-to-earth man who views Iraq as his war. James is a bomb-defusing specialist and Anthony Mackie plays his partner. The partner's job is to look out for Will while he goes to investigate the bomb scare, but more often then not, Renner's character decides to take an unorthodox approach. In one scene, James takes off his gear and says, "If I'm going to die, I'm going to die comfortably." William James is a hothead and he frightens his entire platoon (that includes David Morse, Guy Pearce, Ralph Fiennes, and Brian Geraghty) to death. Yet as much as Will gets off on the thrill of battle, he still loves his family (Evangeline Lilly plays the wife) and can barely balance the idea of returning to them while somewhere else on the same planet as he is, there is a bomb to be defused and thrills to be found. In fact, in one scene, James puts his bomb gear on in his bunk while safely back at base, and he just begins to cry.
This film is vivid, brave, responsible, and action-packed. I refuse to go into any more detail at the expense of ruining one of the artfully true experiences of the year. All I ask is for you to please go see this movie as it approaches a wide release. The enjoyment and emotion to be found in this film is just as potent as the "drug" of war.

One of the joys of being a historian is the opportunity to look at old documents for the information they provide about a life, an event, the nation as it evolves.
As a Park Ranger at James A. Garfield National Historic Site, every now and then I experience the joy of such discovery. These moments occur whenever I "go home" as the Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas holidays approach. Washington D.C. is just a stone's throw from my Baltimore roots. I am filled with anticipation when I board the Metro for my visit to the Library of Congress.
I was most recently there on April 5. My mission was to locate a document relating to the "Wooton Secretary" in the Memorial Library at the Garfield home. It was a letter from the manufacturer to a representative for Mrs. Garfield, composed in 1882.
Before this visit, not much was known about the desk. When was it made? Was President Garfield alive at the time? Was it a gift to him?Was it a memorial piece? Who was responsible for having it made?
Still, on April 5, those questions were not uppermost in my mind. I wanted to see the letter I had originally seen for other reasons. I never discovered that letter, but what I found was more exciting.
Through a series of letters written early in 1882 Lucretia Garfield revealed that it was she who had the desk made. Its design was a matter that occupied Mrs. Garfield's thoughts at the time. On January 20, 1882, she wrote that she wished to order a desk from the Wooton Desk Manufacturing Company of Indianapolis, famed at the time for its large, portable desks. It was to be of Mahogany or ebonized wood. She favored "plain solid panels" over "raised veneers." She preferred that "the arrangement of pigeon holes in the Ladies's Secretary [be] above the writing table…"
On January 30, she questioned the expense involved. "I do not think I ought to pay more than $750 for a desk. Still, as I said before, this must be in my house a piece of furniture, and not a mere convenience. I therefore want it good enough for a handsome library if I ever get one." (She got her handsome library.)
Lucretia Garfield's February 13 letter indicates that she changed her mind about the wood to be used. It would not be ebonized. Instead, it was to be made with "the best dark red mahogany." (emphasis added)
Finally, on June 6, 1882, the desk was in her home on Prospect Street in Cleveland: "The desk is just set up and put in order. It is a very satisfactory piece of work in the main." However, it did not arrive with all the features she desired. "I thought I asked that some of the drawers above the table be lock drawers. As it is there are none either above or below."
Yet, she was, overall, pleased with the desk: "The writing table is really very beautiful and all the finishing very perfect…"
The joy of this historian is the understanding that Mrs. Garfield still lives in her letters.
-Alan Gephardt, Park Ranger

When are you the most thankful? Is it on Thanksgiving Day? Is it on your happiest days? Is it on your toughest days? This summary of an account from Luke 17 demonstrates a faithful and enthusiastic thankfulness for you to emulate every day of the year—not just this Thanksgiving season.
Jesus once was walking on the road to Jerusalem. As he approached a small village, he suddenly heard what sounded like whispers in the wind. He glanced around. There, standing about a football field away, were ten emaciated, disfigured men. Their voices were strained and weak, but they gathered the strength to get Jesus' attention.
"Jesus, Master, have pity on us!" they cried.
They were lepers. Leprosy, also known as Hansen's disease, has been all but eradicated from our world today. In Jesus' day, however, leprosy was a plague. There were no treatments. A leper's march toward death was long and painful. Due to the contagious nature of the disease and the stigma attached to it, most lepers were sent away from society to live in enclaves called leper colonies.
In ancient Israel, lepers were considered "unclean." People suffering from such diseases were forbidden to join in the worship at the temple or to live with the rest of God's people. If someone were to approach them, they were to cry out, "Unclean! Stay away!"
So these men stood at a distance. They didn't come near Jesus. They simply called to him in their weak and scratchy voices, "Jesus, Master, have pity on us!"
When Jesus heard their faint cries for help and saw their sore-filled faces, he did have pity on them. He yelled to them, "Go, show yourselves to the priests."
If people were to recover from leprosy, they would need to show themselves to a priest. The priest would declare them "clean" and able to rejoin society. Until the priest declared them clean, they were still outcasts.
The men did what Jesus said. They turned and set off to see the priests. As they did, their pain dissipated. Their sores disappeared. Their voices returned. Nine of the ten picked up the pace. They happily hurried to see the priests so they could return to their homes and lives. But one stopped. When he realized he was healed, he ran back to Jesus as fast as he could, praising God in a loud voice. He threw himself at Jesus' feet and thanked him. Luke tells us he was a Samaritan, a foreigner.
When we hear that story, we often find ourselves angry with the other nine men. How could they be so ungrateful?
If you read the story of the ten lepers in Luke chapter 17, though, you will notice that it does not say the other nine were not thankful. In fact, they did exactly what Jesus told them to do. They went to show themselves to the priests. We can only imagine that when they were given a clean bill of health, they thanked and praised God as they returned to their families and lives.
The point of the story is not that the other nine were ungrateful. The point is how overwhelmingly grateful the Samaritan was. He put off the one thing that he had desired for so long—to be told by the priest he could go home—and put off being reunited with his family and friends to first return and thank the person who had healed him.
The Samaritan understood that thankfulness is not some nebulous, vague feeling. Gratitude cannot exist where there is no giver. You can't be thankful without having someone to thank.
The Samaritan realized it was God who deserved the credit. He recognized it was Jesus who healed him. So he ran. He cried. He fell at Jesus' feet and thanked him with overwhelming gratitude.

Virgin Trains has partnered with rock legends Iron Maiden and Stockport based brewery Robinsons to offer their customers one of the most unique beers around, TROOPER.
The multiple award-winning TROOPER beer, which takes its name from the classic IRON MAIDEN song of the same name, is now available to purchase onboard all Virgin Trains services for the duration of the band's current sold out Legacy of the Beast UK tour, which began in Newcastle last night, before heading to Belfast (2nd Aug), Aberdeen (4th Aug), Manchester (6th Aug), Birmingham (7th Aug) and London (10th and 11th Aug).

Handcrafted by Robinsons, a 180-year-old family run brewery a stone's throw from Stockport station, the beer has sold well over 20 million pints worldwide since it was launched back in 2013.
Iron Maiden's vocalist Bruce Dickinson, a keen real ale enthusiast, was instrumental in the creation of TROOPER, a 4.7% golden ale made with a unique blend of Bobek, Goldings and Cascade hops.
To celebrate the launch Bruce, a qualified airline pilot, travelled up from London to Stockport in the cab of a Virgin Trains Pendolino, before heading on to the band's show in Newcastle.
BRUCE DICKINSON said,
"I'm delighted that our fans will be able to share a TROOPER or two together whilst travelling to and from IRON MAIDEN shows around the UK this summer."

Julie Harper, Food & Beverage Proposition Manager of Virgin Trains explained:
"Based on the first week's sales, TROOPER is proving a big hit with customers. With the recent hot weather, it's perfect for sipping at 125mph!"
Fans who share a selfie and tag #TrooperOnTheTrain whilst enjoying a drink onboard will also be in with a chance of winning a pair of tickets and First Class rail travel to the bands' forthcoming show at the O2 Arena in London on Friday August 10th.
David Bremner, Director of Marketing at Robinsons Brewery, added,

Guild:Mu Tants
|This page is about a particular player guild that has been recognized by ArenaNet for its achievements.
The contents of this page are player-managed and do not represent official Guild Wars lore. Any roleplaying, fictional, speculative, or opinionated claims on this page apply solely to the players in the guild, not to the Guild Wars canon. Guild pages must comply with the guild pages policy.
The Guild +
Trib founded Mu Tants [MU] in 2004. The guild originated in the free MMORPG Mu-Online and our tag, [MU], is a nod to our origins. When Trib's interests mutated to Guild Wars, he didn't find it difficult to convince the majority of the guild to join him. The guild took to the game with enthusiasm, awed by the multitude of quests and the dazzling scenery.
Over the years, MU became more that just a guild. Sharing a mutual love of the game, members became friends, despite hailing from all around the world. Many have taken the time to visit each other in real life. MU members from Belgium and Holland have met members from Sweden, Portugal, England and Argentina.
The youngest guild member is an 16-year-old, while the oldest guild member is 52. The average age in MU is above 25, though age isn't the most important part of fitting in to the guild. Attitude, on the other hand, is crucial. The right attitude goes a long way to impressing members of MU, regardless of nationality, or skill level.
Members +
About our Members +
Most MU members focus on PvE. However, they prefer to devote themselves to the hard missions and challenging PvE areas. The officers set out to provide a mature gaming environment, where humor is a vital part. The more MU party members in a group and the longer the mission lasts, the more fun they have. That's why MU enjoys the elite missions like Urgoz's Warren, the Underworld, and the Fissure of Woe the most.
As long as members have quality game-play time together and a good laugh once in a while, they don't care if they fail to complete a mission. A lot of members play several hours a day in high end areas, so many of them have Protector titles, Elite Skill Capture titles, Treasure Hunter titles, and Fissure of Woe armor.
MU has created an online home for more than 50 gamers. You don't have to look any farther than their names to see proof of their devotion; many of the members voluntarily included the name "Mutant" when choosing a name for their characters.
Every night, members of MU meet on voice-chat software to hang out and stay in contact with each other. MU also has its own, updated website, with a private guild forum for serious business and a public forum where people can discuss all kind of subjects.
Our main interests +
Recruitments +
We are still accepting new members: check our forum for more information.
We are looking for active players age 18+. We don't mind helping with character progression though campaigns, but our primary interests are in the Fissure of Woe, the Underworld, Urgoz's Warren and The Deep. We play for fun but we also like to achieve something.
To join, go to our website, register, and fill in an application on the forum. All new members will get a trial period of about 1-2 weeks to see if we meet their expectations, and to check that they meet ours.
Note: Although a lot of Mutants members have one or more FoW-armor, we are not a farming guild. We have members who farm occasionally, but the focus is on teamwork, fun and high end PvE
Other Games We Play +
As well as a large membership in Guild Wars, Mu Tants have interests in other games aswell, and wherever possible have started a MU Guild in those games too.
Mu Tants have been in Aion, Age of Conan, Perfect World International, Battle of the Immortals and many other games

On March 25 2011, we added an Instant Messaging (IM) feature that will allow you to have an INSTANT conversation with that other person that you see online with you.
Up until now, registered classmates have had the option of contacting each other via Class Creators (CC) e-mail, by participating in the Message Forum, or via the Live Chat room, none of which are very timely. We know there are lots of times when you are online and see someone else's name appears in "Who's On-Line Now", but getting in contact with that person right then is next to impossible via the current available features
In order to use Instant Messaging, your system must meet the following requirements:
· Latest version of the Adobe Flash player. If you can read the instructions, then you already have the right version. If you or anyone you're attempting to chat with is having trouble with the Instant Messaging feature, they should go to www.adobe.com and upgrade to the latest version of the Flash player.
· Latest version of your web browser. Instant Messaging will not work with Internet Explorer 6 or below. If you have this browser please update to the latest version. You can verify your version by going to the Help menu and clicking on "About Internet Explorer". If your browser is not up to date, go to Tools and select Windows Update. Follow the directions there.
· Screen resolution: Minimum 1024 x 760. Recommended horizontal resolution: 1280 pixels wide or wider. If you want to check your screen resolution, go to Control Panel, click on Display, and then select the Settings tab. Click on Display and it brings up Display Properties. Click on the Settings Tab and here you can view the current resolution of your screen. You can adjust from there, if you need to.
· Problems: If problems arise, use "Contact Us" and we'll get back to you.
Once you have verified the system requirements, here's how you use Instant Messaging. (You will also find more detailed instructions inside Instant Messaging when you click on the question mark on the pop-up Instant Message feature).
Sending Instant Messages:
Beginning March25, when you enter our GHS website, a pop up panel entitled "Members Online" appears at the right side of the website, either at the top or the bottom, depending on your operating system. When you click the Up/Down arrow at the right hand side of the title bar, the panel will expand, and you will be able to see who is on the website at that moment. To chat with someone, click his or her name. A new box will appear with that person's name at the top. Each time you click on a different member's name, a new private messaging box opens. (You can have up to 4 private conversations at a time.) Click your mouse anywhere in the bottom region of the other member's window and start typing. Then press ENTER. That's all there is to it. Message sent! Your message will also reappear above that bar that has the smiley face on it.
There are a few additional things you should know, so be sure you read the online instructions thoroughly before you get started.
A Word About Your Conversations:
All IM conversations are private, and remain online until both parties log out of the site. Also, if you end a conversation, and then reconnect with that person during the same computer session, the transcript of your earlier conversation will reappear.

The United States is home to a handful of truly iconic sports rivalries. The Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers have basketball's finest rivalry; meanwhile the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens have a hatred unmatched in football. The blood feud between the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees is often touted as "the greatest rivalry in sports."
That said, none of these grudge matches are even in the same stratosphere as soccer rivalries across the globe. Derbies, as they're referred to in soccer parlance, are the highlight of the season for supporters. To fans, these matches are frequently of more paramount concern than winning the title to fans. These matches are what sports fans live for, but far too often fan misbehavior and downright violence mars the action on the field. Passion and hatred give a derby its excitement, but when taken too far, have had dangerous and fatal consequences.
'The Eternal Derby': Red Star Belgrade and FK Partizan
In terms of sheer madness, perhaps no rivalry in world soccer tops Serbia's "Eternal Derby" between Red Star and Partizan. Fires, grenades, pyrotechnics and broken stadium seats are nothing more than the standard operating procedure in this derby.
Both sides have dominated the proceedings in Serbia. Red Star has won a total of 28 Serbian titles, while Partizan trails by only one trophy. Not once since the turn of the century has a team other than Belgrade's two sides won the top flight.
The spirited rivalry annually devolves into hatred-fueled fan violence. The animosity peaked in 1999 when a Paritzan fan shot a rocket that struck and killed a Red Star fan. In 2013, 104 fans were arrested as a result of fighting throughout the match day. Two years later, grenades and flares delayed kickoff 45 minutes at Red Star's Rajko Mitić Stadium.
The quarrels aren't even limited between the Delije (Red Star supporters) and Grobari (Partizan fans). During a 1-1 draw in 2017, 17 Partizan fans were injured as a result of infighting during the game. Fighting within fan groups is just as likely to be on the agenda as any other form of hysteria this game brings to light.
Images of bloodied fans, spectators hurling seats and police in riot gear mark the rivalry. By no stretch is the Serbian SuperLiga one of Europe's elite, but on two days each season it puts on incredible theater with smoke and burning stadiums front and center and a soccer game in the background.
'El Superclásico': Boca Juniors and River Plate
Belgrade may be the ultimate hotbed for fan misconduct, but Argentina's capital city Buenos Aires is the home of a rivalry that is unmatched by any on the planet. The rivalry features two behemoth stadiums — Boca's La Bombonera and River Plate's El Monumental — with a combined capacity north of 100,000.
Of course, these two stadiums provide an ideal setting for fan insanity. Gangs called the Barra Brava are responsible for countless incidents — even deaths — throughout the decades. The seminal moment in this heated rivalry's history of fan violence came in 1968. A whopping 74 fans died when Boca Juniors' supporters began raining burning papers down on the home River fans during the contest. Fans fled, and the deaths were a result of a stampede against a locked exit door.
Twenty-six years later, Boca fans mobbed a bus carrying River Plate fans and murdered two of them. In 2013, the Argentine Football Association imposed a five-year ban on visiting fans, which has taken much of the edge out of the Superclásico. The ban was a result of rampant fan deaths.
The hiatus couldn't stop hooligans from once again impacting the derby in 2015. To protect players, the teams have inflatable tunnels to provide cover while walking out onto the field. In a Copa Libertadores matchup, the River Plate tunnel was punctured and players were bombarded with tear gas. The game was suspended, and Boca was eliminated from the tournament.
The ban has been lifted, but Boca and River still do not allow visitors.
Borussia Dortmund's Yellow Wall
The south stands of Dortmund's Westfalenstadion are the home of perhaps the most passionate fans in all of Europe: the Yellow Wall. The freestanding wall holds 25,000 raucous supporters and is the signature of the club's fan base.
Both the club and supporters found themselves in hot water following 2017's home match against RB Leipzig. The controversial Red Bull-owned squad made a run at the title, much to the chagrin of Germany's traditional fans. Leipzig bypassed the Bundesliga's 50-plus-one rule, requiring clubs — as opposed to outside sponsors — to own a majority-voting stake at all times.
In response, Dortmund's fans hurled stones and glass bottles at Leipzig supporters outside the stadium, and police said that any visiting fans were targets. BVB ultras attempted to block the Leipzig team bus from reaching the stadium prior to kickoff. Additionally, the Yellow Wall raised a banner telling Leipzig sporting director Ralf Rangnick to hang himself.
The club apologized to Leipzig for the egregious fan misconduct and condemned the violence. As it was, Dortmund was already under a warning from the German Football Association from earlier fan incidents. This time, the Deustcher Fussball Bund dropped the hammer, closing the Yellow Wall for one match and fining the team €100,000.

Child custody and visitation issues can quickly turn a divorce into a contested legal battle. It appears that is the case for reality star Bethenny Frankel and her estranged husband. In her divorce petition, the reality star requested primary custody of the couple's 2-year-old daughter and child support. She has also asked that he pay medical and dental bills, and for exclusive use of the marital residence. In response to the petition, her husband has requested all of the same items - including primary custody of their daughter and child support.
These types of disputes are not limited to the rich and famous. Whether parents are contemplating a divorce, or in the midst of divorce, the upmost importance is the welfare and safety of their children. If parents are unable to reach an agreement over child custody and visitation rights, courts may be called upon to make those decisions. If you are currently in a child custody dispute, a Worchester family law attorney would advise you that courts decide disputes according to a child's best interests.
As previously discussed in our Massachusetts family law blog, courts look at several factors to determine what is in a child's best interests. These factors include an examination into which of the parents have been the child's primary caretaker, and the physical and mental health of the parents. If a child is old enough, courts may take his or her wishes into consideration. A good relationship with both parents is generally presumed to be in the best interests of the child.

Revisiting red-light districts
Thanks Amy for sending me your link at Travelhacker about the world's most famous red-light districts.
I think that this can definitely be a controversial topic in terms of feminism. I think when we think of any red-light district, we think of women whoring themselves out and degrading themselves. And the article does mention some not good things that occur in some red-light districts, such as child prostitution. But at the same time, I think we have to have a different look at it as well. In many of these red-light districts, it appears that there are safe places for sex workers to work. The street has always been an unsafe place to work, and I completely support brothels and other buildings where sex workers can do their thing. After all, these women are making a living. This could be something that they personally like doing. Or it really could be something that they are doing just to make sure money is coming in.
Of course, a lot of this work can be looked at as degrading. There's no contest there. But I definitely don't think that blaming the women who are in this kind of work is right, or will do anything. This definitely is a feminist issue that comes back to the social, political and economic stance of women across the globe.
So, I know this is a controversial topic. What do you all think about red-light districts and women in this work? Do you support brothels in any way, shape or form? Or are you completely against all of this?

text: robertshippey Report post Posted December 18, 2013 hi all, I've set up BitTorrent Sync on two raspberry pi's -- I created a shared folder on pi1, the folder has some files in, normal sorts of stuff, text files, png, wav, etc.But the interface is just showing 0 B in 0 files. I put the key into a new shared folder on pi2 and nothing happens. I tried editing some of the files on pi1 to see if it would 'force' btsync to reindex, no luck. The strange thing is, I put the same key into a new shared folder on my mac and drop an image into the empty folder and it propagates the file to the pis. Does anyone know what could be causing this? Is there some sort of special action I need to run to get the existing files to be indexed? Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ol' Virginia Text Book

A recent yard sale outing produced this finding, an old history of Virginia text book called Virginia's History and Geography from 1950. The contents start way back with the early lost colony of Sir Waler Raleigh and Jamestown and ends discussing the post WW2 economy of Virginia. As usual with these old text books, the illustrations are more interesting…
I love this map of Virginia, with a young George Washington taken measurement of the land as a surveyor.
Lewis, Clark, and Sacajawea ….
The book also includes a strange section on the geography of Virginia. Attempting to locate Virginia relative to the rest of the world the result are some excellent diagrams.

AMPLIFIED STORIES is a platform created by KCSARC in order to amplify the voices of survivors of sexual violence. Shared experiences hold the power to validate, heal, and change. The post below was submitted by a survivor who gave KCSARC permission to share their story.
This post contains a story of sexual violence. If at any time, you feel unsafe, need support, or need to talk, please call our 24-Hour Resource Line: 1.888.99.VOICE (1.888.998.6423).
I was beaten and later raped by a fellow shipmate while I was serving in the United States Coast Guard. I reported the rape to a Chief (E7). He was the highest-ranking person at the 28-person small boat station. He adamantly refused to follow Coast Guard protocols and took it upon himself to "investigate" the rape.
The Chief said that since we were such a small station and did not have a "holding cell" that he would put me in the janitorial closet. He claims that this was for my own safety.
He eventually let me out of the closet and he called my rapist and me into his office. We were instructed to stand behind his office while we each took turns giving our side of the story. Even though I had physical injuries and bruises, the Chief felt it was all a misunderstanding. The Chief decided it would be in the best interest of our small boat station if we could all "just get along." The Chief said that my rapist and I must "work out our differences" and ordered us to clean out an isolated area of the station—the attic—as some sort of team building exercise.
Early on in my journey of healing, the counselor that the Coast Guard required me to see, called my rape "being taken advantage of."
His choice of words minimized my experience.
People take advantage of a sunny day by having a picnic.
People take advantage of toilet paper on sale and stock up.
I was brutally raped by a man that planned it all out and knew exactly what he was doing.
My rape was a violent hate crime. Call it by what it is: RAPE.
I eventually was transferred out of my small boat station to a larger Coast Guard station in another state. I was made to believe that this larger unit has all the support that I would need to help me heal from the rape. It was not long before finding out that there was no one there to help me.
The reason for my transfer was not kept confidential. Everyone at my new unit knew I was there because I reported a rape at my small boat station. Coast Guard members were instructed to stay away from me or else they too would be found "in a position of being accused of rape."
I was ostracized. I was a young Coast Guardswomen, new to the Coast Guard, new to a city and alone to deal with the trauma of my rape. It was a frightening time.
One day, I was walking to the barracks for lunch. A group of Coast Guardsmen cornered me and attempted to rip off my uniform. This incident happened on base, during a work day and we were all in uniform. As the group was attacking me, I was crying, yelling, and pushing them away. Thankfully, another Coast Guardsman that was passing by intervened and just by his voice and presence the group stepped back and that gave me the opportunity to escape.
After I had left the Coast Guard, the bystander was able to locate me on social media to tell me his side of the story. He said that he immediately went to CGIS and my victim advocate to report what happened. He was told to "forget what he saw" and that he should not get involved in the investigation. If he chose to advocate for me any further, his career would be on the line.
The so-called support that the Coast Guard has promised turned out to be folks that were more interested in keeping the public image of the Coast Guard in a positive light than ensuring justice for me. They pointed fingers at me. They gaslighted me. My words, my truth would be twisted to fit their narrative. The Coast Guard took every opportunity they could to tell me, and everyone else, that I was "crazy" or "lying."
If they could convince everyone that I was at fault for being raped (or that I am lying about it), they can all proceed to spit out the lies claiming that they have a "zero-tolerance policy" and still protect my wrong-doers. They protected the Chief at my small boat station that mishandled my initial investigation. The years that he gave to the Coast Guard, as well as training and money that the Coast Guard has invested in him up to that point, was far more important than my justice.
I was an E3 and a woman. I was disposable. I did not matter.
In the Coast Guard, perception is the reality. They can print out colorful posters warning us against sexual assault, require anti-sexual assault training, and claim that they take all allegations seriously, but that is nothing more than a show.
It is naive to think that after how they treated me that they have the best interest of a rape survivor in mind. They do not. The one Coast Guardsman that tried his best to stand up for me had his career threatened. The rest that witnessed the retaliation that I experienced daily could justify what they saw (and even contributed to) because the command falsely made me out to be that I was at fault (or lying and they could be next).
I had zero chance of getting support to heal or a chance at justice. After I got out of the Coast Guard and attempted to sue the military, the military lawyers were successfully able to argue in civilian court that my rape was an occupational hazard. That court ruling speaks far more than any training where the Coast Guard alleges that they care about survivors like me.
If at any time, you feel unsafe, need support, or need to talk, please call our 24-Hour Resource Line: 1.888.99.VOICE (1.888.998.6423).

Get to know Propeller's world-class team in our ongoing employee spotlight. Today, we talk to Jonnie Perkins, who manages the data success team. Jonnie is based in our Sydney, Australia, office.
What do you do at Propeller?
I focus on improving the performance of the data success team in terms of data quality, turnaround times, and speed of support. The data success team is responsible for inbound support and producing survey-grade data from drone imagery and ground control in the Propeller Platform. The whole team is spread out across the globe: Manila, Sydney, and Denver. I deal with their schedules and make sure we provide 24/7 help coverage for the Platform and AeroPoints if people are out sick, and that sort of thing. If need be, I also do some processing myself and jump in to handle support.
What's your career background?
After I finished my degree in mechatronic engineering, I worked for Rio Tinto, a global mining company, in Western Australia for three years. After some travel and another stint at Rio, I moved to Sydney and started with Propeller.
Where did you grow up?
Perth, Western Australia.
Before working at Propeller, what's the strangest or most interesting job you've held?
Probably the one where I was caring for recovering drug addicts at an experimental recovery program. It really opened my eyes to some other parts of the world I knew nothing about. It makes you confront some pretty tough stuff.
What's your favorite Propeller memory?
My favorite is probably my best and worst day at Propeller. I'd made a big mistake on the job and annoyed quite a few people, but rather than pointing fingers and bringing me down, the team gathered around and lifted me up.
Any talents, secret superpowers, or fun facts about yourself to share?
I spend a lot of my spare time doing music stuff. I grew up playing drums for 10 years and I taught myself guitar for about eight years ago. I'm live looping a lot of electronic and acoustic music at the moment, which I really enjoy.
If you could be any piece of technology, what would you be and why?
I'd be the wheel because it was a simple piece of tech that changed the whole world.
If you could wake up tomorrow having gained any one quality or ability, what would it be?
The ability to give myself other abilities.
Do you have an office nickname? If so, what is it and how did you get it?
Well, everyone calls me Jonnie . . . which is a nickname I gave myself when I was very small because my brother's and sister's names were Gregory and Melanie. I wanted mine to sound like theirs. And now, of course, they're Greg and Mel, so what can you do?
What's one thing you wish people understood better about your job?
I'd want people to know how outrageously well-qualified everyone on my team is. They all have geospatial degrees and experience in done surveying. They're awesome.
Customer support is always hard, even when you're not dealing with stuff as complex at surveying, geodesy, and photogrammetry. And, you know, in some situations even the best isn't good enough. But even then, I'd want people to know we've got real experts on the case, who are working hard to solve the issues.
Want to join Team Propeller? We're hiring!

Late last week, Dutch superstar DJ Afrojack returned with a new remix for all to stream via his SoundCloud page and simply put, it's not a standard remix drop to add to his repertoire. He's done an official remix on UK R&B vocalist Mr. Probz's "Nothing Really Matters," in a totally new departure from his usual electro style.
While we have seen Afrojack be an industry leader in Dirty Dutch, over the past few years van de Wall has moved toward a poppier sounds as dance music has grown in its mass popularity. This remix marks another stylistic change, following the public's increased appetite for the lighter sounds of dance-infused pop music. While some may call this "deep house," it's really a radio-friendly production that highlights the impressive vocal work done by Mr. Probz. And like "Waves," this one will probably be all over your radio in the coming months. The remix comes out ahead of Probz's album, with the full release due out March 22nd via Left Lane Recordings / Sony Music. Check it out below.
