@BWyche Take on Carmelo Trade, Lebron's Decision & NBA Powerhouses Influences on our Youth
The New York Knicks have reached out to Memphis about participating in a three-team deal that would send Grizzlies guard O.J. Mayo to Denver and Carmelo Anthony to New York, according to league sources.
Talks are in the infant stages and nothing is imminent, but the discussions are a sign of the Knicks' increased aggressiveness in trying to trade for Anthony.
Emboldened by their belief that Anthony will refuse to sign a three-year, $65 million contract extension with the New Jersey Nets, the Knicks have stepped up their efforts to bring the Nuggets star to New York.
The Nets, Nuggets and Pistons are still in discussions on a trade that may involve more than 13 players and hope to have it wrapped up by next week, the Bergan (N.J.) Record reported.
The Knicks have tried to engage Denver in trade talks all season, but the Nuggets, unmoved by the players New York has to offer, have been unwilling to partake in significant discussions. Sources, however, say that is changing as the Nuggets themselves wonder whether Anthony is willing to go to New Jersey.
The Knicks understand they need to recruit another trade partner or two in order to put together a package Denver would be interested in, and that's their motivation for inquiring about Mayo. It is not clear at this point whether Denver is actively involved in the talks with Memphis.
Mayo, who has had a disappointing and controversial season in Memphis, is on the trading block, and the Knicks' hope is that he would satisfy Denver's desire for a promising young prospect. Though the third-year guard is coming off the bench and scoring less than 13 points a game this season, Mayo averaged 18 points over his first two years.
While Mayo, who has one year, $5.6 million remaining on his contract after this season, does not have the leverage to stop a possible deal, sources say he would not be happy with a trade to Denver.
After nearly three years of rebuilding in Memphis, Mayo is looking to go to a winning situation, according to the sources. He understands without Anthony, Denver would be starting over.
Mayo, however, would like to go to the Knicks.
The Knicks' only interest in Mayo is to aid them in acquiring Anthony.
The Knicks will also need at least one first-round draft pick to grab Denver's attention, and New York is confident it can get such a pick for Anthony Randolph from one of several clubs. Sources say Indiana was willing to trade a first-round pick to New York for Randolph last summer.
Any Knicks package for Anthony would also likely include some combination of Wilson Chandler,Danilo Gallinari or Landry Fields.
While the Nuggets weren't impressed with those names early in the season, their strong play during the Knicks' resurgence has upped their value, according to sources.
Meanwhile, the Nuggets continue to discuss a possible three-team deal with the Nets and Pistons. The Nets would receive Anthony, Chauncey Billups and Detroit's Richard Hamilton while Denver would get Nets rookie Derrick Favors, Devin Harris, two first-round draft picks and several other minor players.
But even if the clubs agree to a deal, Anthony could kill it by refusing to sign an extension to play long-term in New Jersey. Several sources say Anthony does not want to play in New Jersey and has thus far given no indication that he would sign such an extension.
Anthony's agent, Leon Rose, has been pushing for a deal with New Jersey and, in an effort to get the star to sign off on the trade, several people have been telling Anthony that New York doesn't want to break up its current team to get him, according to sources.
Sources say that's why Anthony made the curious comment on Monday in which he wondered whether the Knicks even wanted him.
"New York is playing well right now. I don't think they're looking at me," Anthony said. "They wouldn't want me to come in there and mess what they have up. That's what I've read."
But the Knicks are very interested in Anthony. The club's preference would be to sign him as a free agent next summer and thereby keep their current roster intact.
But in that scenario, Anthony would not receive the $65 million extension and with a new collective bargaining agreement on the horizon, he would risk losing millions of dollars by entering free agency.
If Anthony eventually nixes a move to New Jersey and tells Denver he will only sign an extension with New York, the Nuggets would likely either trade him to the Knicks or a club like Houstonthat would be willing to trade for him without his signing an extension.

Betting tips Sevilla vs Rayo – The hosts struggle hard on this season's end to win a Champions League spot, while guests have a very low chance of getting rid of relegation.
1. Latest information before Sevilla vs Rayo!
He makes a decent season because in 33 stages he has accumulated 52 points and is thus ranked 6th.
It is just 2 points away from Getafe which currently occupies the last place of the Champions League.
On the field he played very well because in 16 games he managed to raise 33 points.
The shape of the moment is decent because in the last 5 championship games it has 3 wins and 2 defeats.
Maximilian Wober, Andre Silva and Sergio Escudero will not play, the first two being injured and the third being suspended.
Jesus Navas, Nolito and Maxime Gonalons are uncertain and they do not know if they will play.
He makes a very weak season because in 33 stages he has accumulated only 28 points and is thus the last place.
It's 6 points for a rescuer, but it's fairly small enough to catch up with this difference.
In the away game he played in the same way because in 16 games he collected only 10 points.
The form of the moment is inconsistent because in the last 5 championship games it has 2 draws, 2 defeats and one victory.
Gorka Elustondo and Giannelli Imbula will not make the move because they are injured.
Also, Alvaro Medran and Raul de Tomas are suspended.
3. Sevilla vs. Rayo Probable Team!
Sevilla (4-4-2): Vaclik – Promes, Carrico, Mercado, Navas – Vazquez, Banega, Mesa, Sarabia – Haddadi, Yedder.
Rayo (4-3-3): Garcia – Advincula, Galvez, Ba, Tito – Pozo, Suarez, Embarba – Bebe, Santo, Moreno.
4. Information about the last direct duels Sevilla vs Rayo.
The two bands met only 2 times in the last 3 years and were very spectacular games.
In each of the last 3 matches, at least 4 goals have been scored.
In the tour, Sevilla has definitely set a 4-1 away.
Football Prediction of the Day Sevilla vs Rayo
The direct encounters between the two bands were very spectacular and so I think it will still be.
Also, both teams need very high points to achieve their goals.
Rayo comes after 5 games in which he has scored at least 2 goals, but has scored at least one.
Sevilla has scored at least 2 goals in 4 of its last 5 games played in front of its own spectators.
Taking into account the importance of the game I think both bands will attack and will be an open game.
That's why I think there will be quite a few goals, at least one in the first half.

Odds: 1.32

Then we made our way to the Taipei 101 mall, which is located by the tallest building in the world (that is still under construction, as we found out by getting into an elevator and discovering that the buttons were impotent). J bought some lemony handmade soap (with sand in it) from Lush -- awesome British soap store. Then we swung by the Japanese bakery and consumed more baked goods. Then I tried on some shoes from Benneton's new Formula One line, which were very cute on the stands but not so cute on my feet (J is not a fan of pink polka dots -- which look like bubble gum stuck to the shoe -- or green polka dots -- which look like a frog got sick).
Then we went home. Food tally up to now: baked goods + ice cream (and some meat and rice).
We just had dinner and are now suffering from food coma and Starbucks withdrawal. Next stop: Starbucks.

Patient compliance with HSG after Essure is high.
"Since the introduction of Essure in 2003, physician uptake has been substantially less than expected, despite the obvious advantages in terms of no incisions, no general anesthesia, and no hospital stay," Dr. Glazerman said at the annual meeting of the AAGL. "One of the expressed concerns is that the [Food and Drug Administration] requires a 3-month confirmatory hysterosalp-ingogram [HSG] after the procedure, before the patient is allowed to rely on the device for contraception. In my personal discussions with physicians, I hear all the time that 'my patients don't want to come back for the HSG. They'd rather know right away that they are sterile.'"
Dr. Glazerman disclosed that he is a preceptor, speaker, and consultant for Conceptus Inc., which developed the Essure procedure. He is also a preceptor for Karl Storz Endoscopy-America Inc.
To determine the rate of compliance with the FDA recommendation for the hysterosalpingogram, Dr. Glazerman studied the medical charts of 130 consecutive patients who underwent Essure hysteroscopic sterilization in his former private ob.gyn. practice in Allentown, Pa., from December 2003 through May 2008.
Of those patients, 128 were at least 3 months post procedure and 2 were not, said Dr. Glazerman, who is now director of minimally invasive surgery in the department of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of South Florida, Tampa. Of the 128 patients, 116 (91%) underwent hysterosalpingography, and 100 (86%) of those 116 showed bilateral tubal occlusion on their first hysterosalpin-gogram. Of the 16 patients who failed their initial HSG, 13 had documented tubal occlusion on their second HSG; 2 had a previous unilateral salpingectomy; and 1 had unilateral placement, and subsequently conceived.
Based on the findings, Dr. Glazerman concluded that concern about noncompliance with HSG "should not deter physicians from offering hysteroscopic sterilization. The way I present the Essure procedure to patients is like this: 'If they have a laparoscopic tubal failure (a rate of 0.5%-l%), the only way they know if it fails is if they get pregnant. On the other hand, if they have a hysterosalpingogram after the Essure that shows bilateral occlusion, there's a pregnancy rate of less than 1 in 200,000 cases. My patients seem to like that. In addition, they like the fact that there's no hospital stay, no incision, and no general anesthesia."

There's a really young intern in here today to work with our IT guy, John. He's here with his sister and they're watching the music videos playing in the lobby. NKOTB was on and the girl kept making fun of them. Then she said, "Who is this? Are they a boy band?" I didn't say anything - but I wanted to be like "WHAT!?!??! ARE YOU SERIOUS???" I mean, sure, some of the faces could go unrecognized... but cleaaarrlllyyyy that's Jordan Knight and Joey McIntyre!
I mean, I'm a little young for New Kids - but I was old enough to remember them. I vividly remember my sister going to a concert with our neighbors, and I could care less. I just stayed home playing Barbies, in fact some of my Barbies were rubbing their flat privates on the non-existent privates of the NKOTB dolls. I never got into the music... I didn't really care about all that when I was little. But then I really got into Backstreet Boys full-force later in life, so maybe everyone has a boy band void in their heart they need to fill.
I was amazed they didn't know who it was... and then at the end of the video it said the details and band name, and the kid goes, "Isn't that old?" I felt old. I may have been young, but I knew the power of New Kids On The Block (and, for those who get the reference, I keep writing New Kids on the Blog and correcting myself.) And sure, I may know Joey and Jordan because of the singles they released when I was in my teeny bopper prime, but oh well. Kids these days, right??

Pop quiz: To be wealthy is to A) have a handsome salary or B) have absolute control over your time. If you picked A you're…. wrong. The truly wealthy, those that are truly financially independent, are those who have the ability to do whatever they want whenever they want without having to worry about the consequences.
Even the professional footballer making millions of pounds a year has to show up for practice at a certain time and be on the plane with the rest of the team before it leaves for the big match in Munich. Whereas the guy who owns a chain of pizza restaurants, a car park, a convenience store along with some stocks and bonds is lounging on a beach in the Bahamas with no one to answer to and no alarm clock to bother him in the morning.
From Working Hard to Not Working
Achieving financial independence is not as complicated as one might think. What it takes is a willingness to embrace the mundane, a long term plan and the ability to stick to that plan. If you have those 3 things you stand a fighting chance of becoming financially independent at some point.
The following are 10 tips that will help set you on road to wealth accumulation and financial independence.
1) Spend Less Than You Make – Duh! Right? Well, yes and no. It may seem like a no-brainer but you'd be surprised at how many people cannot put this principle into action in their lives which often results in people having to seek debt advice. The truth is that if you can't grasp this one the rest of the tips don't matter much. It is the cornerstone of any wealth creation plan and the only one that is completely non-negotiable.
2) Ditch the Credit Cards – A pocket full of credit cards and the fees and interest that go along with them are like an anchor keeping your ship in port. Pay down any outstanding credit card debt then cut the cards up once and for all and redirect your money toward acquiring income generating assets.
3) Speaking of Assets – Sure the fancy car and inground pool might impress the neighbours but how do they help you achieve financial independence? The answer is they don't. So don't waste your money on them. Instead buy a car wash, invest in T-bills, open a self-storage business and buy real estate. These are the things that will truly set you free.
4) Work with a Purpose – You can go to work every day just so that you can make your credit card and automobile payments each month. Or you can work in order to save money to purchase income generating assets. One path leads to financial stagnation the other to financial independence. Can you guess which is which?
5) Cut Back – Embrace the notion of short term pain for long term gain. If you're smart in how you do it that long term gain will be very gainful indeed. Cut back on non-essentials and direct the savings toward investments and assets that will generate income. Whatever you do don't spend the savings on stuff. You know, stuff. Like huge TVs, sound systems, cars and cruises.
6) Reduce Your Tax Burden – People with big salaries but few investments tend to have lots of taxable income while those who have invested in real estate, businesses, tax free retirement accounts and more tend to owe minimal taxes at the end of the year. Invest your money wisely before the government takes it from you.
7) Review Your Situation Regularly – It would be great if we could make a few basic decisions, chart a financial course and put things on auto pilot. However, we live in a world where conditions and situations change at breakneck speed and so it's important to stay on top of things by reviewing the effectiveness of your strategy at regular intervals. Don't be afraid to make adjustments when needed.
8) Save, Save, Save – So far we've talked a lot about funneling your money toward income generating assets but that won't be possible if you don't exercise discipline and save, save, save. The person who can transcend the salary trap and reach financial independence is more of often than not the person who had the funds necessary to make that life-changing purchase or investment when the opportunity arose. And that was only possible because they saved enough money.
9) Don't Depend on Education – Some people think if they go back to school to enhance their education they'll wind up financially independent. Few things could be further from the truth. Education can be valuable in giving you a well-rounded world view and higher education is essential for careers in medicine and law, but for most people purchasing a car wash will be a better allocation of funds than going back to school.
10) Marry Wisely – Few things will torpedo a plan to gain financial independence faster than marrying someone who doesn't see eye to eye on the importance of savings, investments and the purchase of income generating assets. Accumulating wealth is a long term process that requires everyone to buy into the game plan. Otherwise you could come home one day and find your spouse has bought a car with the money you were going to use for a down payment on an investment property.
Remember: no asset that generates income is a bad asset. While waste disposal isn't a glamorous profession everyone needs to have their trash taken care of. Don't be shy about purchasing or investing in things that aren't sexy headline grabbers. Your only criteria for deciding whether to invest in a particular business should be "is there money to be made here?"
The road to financial independence is paved with discipline and lit with income generating assets and investments. There are no secrets. No magic spells to conjure and no substitutes for careful planning and long term commitment to the goal. Follow the above tips and never lose sight of the fact that your job should be a means to an end, not an end unto itself.

The Florida Court of Appeals in Old Dominion Ins. Co. v. Stellar Concepts & Design, Inc., 189 So.3d 293 (Fla. App. 2016) held that a CGL policy covered liability for the insured's placing robocalls in violation of state law. The Court found that the policy's expected or intended injury exclusion did not apply where the evidence demonstrated that the insured did not intend to harm the recipients of the robocalls even though the insured understood that the calls would cause the recipients to lose the use of the phone lines for the duration of the call.
Robocalls Are Covered By CGL Policy According To Florida Court
The California Supreme Court Finds That In Determining Whether A Punitive Damage Award Is Unconstitutionally Excessive, The Court Could Take Into Consideration As The Compensatory Damage Component In An Insurance Bad Faith Case The Award Of Attorney's Fee
In a well-reasoned decision, the California Supreme Court held in Nickerson v. Stonebridge Life Ins. Co., 63 Cal.4th 363, 203 Cal.Rptr.3d 23, 371 P.3d 242, (2016), that a trial court could give consideration to an award of attorney's fees in favor of the insured, in a bad faith action, in calculating the constitutionally permissible ratio of compensatory damages to punitive damages in insurance bad faith cases. In question was the award of attorney's fees in favor of the insured under Brandt v. Superior Court, 37 Cal.3d 813, 210 Cal.Rptr. 211, 693 P.2d 796 (1985).
When Things Change, Re-Evaluate
In a fact intensive decision, the United States Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals in Bamford, Inc. v. Regent Ins. Co., 822 F.3d 403 (8th Cir. 2016), held that a fact question existed as to the insurance company's failure to settle a claim notwithstanding that the insurance company relied upon multiple efforts to settle, continuously increased its reserves and offers in the settlement process, followed the advice and valuations of two outside counsel and two mediators, discussed the claim value in roundtable meetings with senior management, and reasonably relied upon the state of Nebraska's reputation as a conservative jury verdict jurisdiction. The trial court had entered a ruling eliminating a key defense which the Eighth Circuit observed required the insurance company to drastically re-evaluate its position which it did not do notwithstanding its previous efforts to evaluate the claim fairly. While interesting on its facts, the Bamford case is so fact-intensive that it provides no procedural value in terms of black letter law. However, it is an interesting case to read because of all the efforts engaged in by the insurance company to try and fairly evaluate the case value which were all for naught when the trial court entered a ruling on one of several defenses.
Limiting the Scope of Ambiguity
Recently the Colorado Supreme Court in American Family Mutual Ins. Co. v. Hansen, 2016 WL 3398507 (Colo., filed 6/20/16) considered whether an extrinsic document, separate and apart from the insurance policy, could be used to create a policy ambiguity. The Court held that the trial court and the Colorado Court of Appeals erred when it considered the extrinsic document to create a coverage ambiguity. The Colorado Supreme Court held that the discrepancy in an extrinsic document did not create an ambiguity in the policy because the ambiguity doctrine can only be used to determine whether an ambiguity exists within the four corners of the insurance policy itself and cannot be created by an extrinsic document that was not part of that policy.
Bad Faith Claim Accrual
The Delaware Supreme Court weighs in on when a bad faith claim accrues in a bad faith refusal to settle case. In Connelly v. State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co., 2016 WL 836983 (Del. March 4, 2016), the Intermediate Appellate Court found that the bad faith claim accrued when the insurer refused plaintiff's offer to settle for 35% of the policy limits. The Supreme Court reversed holding that the cause of action accrued when the excess judgment became final. This approach reduced the possibility of a conflict of interest between the insurance company and its insured, protected insurers from bad faith claims for failing to settle even the most frivolous claims and would have the beneficial effect of saving the insured litigation costs that might turn out to be unnecessary if the trial court did not order an excess judgment.
Requirement for pro rata allocation of defense costs among successive insurers
The California Third District Court of Appeals recently required pro rata allocation of defense costs among successive insurers. In Certain Underwriters at Lloyds, London v. Arch Specialty Ins. Co., 246 Cal.App.4th 418, 200 Cal.Rptr.3d 786 2016 WL 1436362 (3rd Dist. 2016), the Court reaffirmed California public policy as prohibiting enforcement of "escape" other insurance clauses inequitable contribution actions between successive primary insurers seeking to allocate the cost of defending construction defect litigation. Under existing law, each insurer was responsible for a pro rata share of defense costs notwithstanding the fact that one insurer's policy contained language in both the insuring agreement and the conditions section both stating that the insurer had a duty to defend only if no other insurance afforded a defense. The Court found that the placement of the escape language in the insuring agreement was not sufficient to differentiate the case from prior California precedent prohibiting the enforcement of escape other insurance clauses which appeared elsewhere in the insurance policy.
Orphans in the Time on Risk Allocation
Who pays for the orphan? The Federal District Court in New York recently held that when an insurance company becomes insolvent the insured becomes responsible for the orphan's share created by the insolvency under a pro rata method of allocation involving successive insurers indemnity obligations for asbestos claims involving progressive injuries. See Liberty Mut. Ins. Co. v. The Fairbanks Company, 2016 WL 1169511 (S.D.N.Y. March 22, 2016).
Putting a subcontractor's insurer on notice
Putting a subcontractor's insurer on notice. An interesting case recently came out of New York. In Spoleta Constr., LLC v. Aspen Ins. UK Ltd., 27 N.Y.3d 933, 50 N.E.3d 322 (N.Y. 2016), the Court held that a general contractor's insurance company's letter to a subcontractor requesting that the subcontractor provide a defense and indemnity under the subcontract agreement was adequate notice to the subcontractors insurer of the occurrence taking place.
Insurance policy's anti-assignment clause
Florida Appellate Court rules that an insurance policy's anti-assignment clause did not prohibit an insured from assigning policy proceeds to a contractor that the insured hired to repair the insured's property following a loss.

The New Yorker, February 17, 1997 P. 74
The story converges around Brahms's "Variations on a Theme by Haydn," the French town of Saint-Julien, and a nouvelle vague film called "Visions Fugitives." The narrator makes a trip to Saint-Julien, the site of both the death of his grandfather, John Culpepper, in World War I and the filming of "Visions Fugitives." He first visits his daughter, Millie, who is working as a chef in Paris, and shows her a headline announcing the suicide of Mavrocordato, the director of "Visions Fugitives." and a photograph of the narrator's grandmother and her daughter, Sarah, his aunt. At a hotel in New York, twelve or thirteen years ago, the narrator is listening to Brahms's "Variations on a Theme by Haydn" when his breakfast arrives. The waitress recognizes it, and, in French, asks the narrator if he likes Brahms; he answers, "More than life." Her name tag, oddly, reads, "Jay." She has blonde hair and appears to be in her late thirties. From a letter written by Bob Quentin, who was with John Culpepper when he died, to the author's grandmother, we learn the story: Culpepper was killed by an explosion near a farmhouse in Saint-Julien. The narrator, who is writing a book about Brahms, is trying to puzzle out the true origins of the "Variations"; the melody is not Haydn's. He is sitting in the hotel bar when Jay comes in. They talk obliquely of the "Variations." She smokes one of his cigarettes, breaking off the filter. (In "Visions Fugitive," the girl, Irene, enters the hotel room wearing a loose T shirt and black panties. The man asks her how many times she slept with Urbain; she, sitting so that the underhang of her breasts grazes the tabletop, replies, "France is really a beautiful country.") Jay says she wants to go see a movie, "Visions Fugitives." The narrator learns that she was wearing her friend Jay's uniform while helping him out; her name is, in fact, Irene. The narrator's grandmother and Sarah made a pilgrimage to Saint-Julien, and left notes in the margins of the guidebook. The narrator uses it to find a room in the Hotel du Cygne. In the quiet village at night, he feels he is playing out an abandoned scene from "Visions Fugitives." In the film, the girl wakes up and the man leaves the room, locking the door behind him. Bob's letter explains how John's dead body looked completely unharmed. The narrator has only seen "Visions Fugitives" once. His memory of it, with all its gaps, remains sharp, perfect but fragile, and he does not want it disturbed. Irene thinks that "Visions Fugitives" was filmed in Switzerland, in a Saint-Julien there near her home (Mavrocordato was also Swiss). As the movie begins, she lakes the narrator's hand. In the Hotel du Cygne, the narrator lies in bed, thinking about the film and his Theory of Everything: mysterious parabolas hit you, or glance off you, or miss you -- moments of fleeting significance. In the New York hotel room, Irene reads from the narrator's Brahms manuscript, leaning on the table like her namesake in "Visions Fugitives." She talks of where she will go next -- Brazil or Mexico - and asks the narrator about his young daughters. They have a row over the locale of "Visions Fugitives." In the film, the man locks the girl in the room. When he returns, she is gone. Irene points out that John Culpepper isn't really the narrator's grandfather (his grandmother remarried his actual grandfather after John died), and that he wouldn't be there today if John hadn't been killed. Irene says she will bring them breakfast the next morning, but the narrator is never to see her again. He asks the hotel manager questions with no success. At the farmhouse in Saint-Julien, he sees in the distance a blonde woman wearing pale blue, who waves and calls: he can't be sure of anything anymore, because she looks familiar, a vision of Irene.

SMPFC Registers 29% Net Income Growth in 9M 2016
Pasig—(PHStocks)—San Miguel Pure Foods Co. Inc. (SMPFC, PSE: PF) reported robust results for the first nine months of the year due to the strong performance of its Branded Value-Added businesses.
Improved efficiencies, lower raw material costs, and wider distribution also contributed to the notable growth.
Net income reached PhP3.8 billion, 29% higher than the same period last year. Consolidated revenues meanwhile amounted to PhP80.6 billion, a 5% increase.
Revenues from the Milling business declined 4% as a result of lower selling prices brought about by the prevailing downtrend in global wheat prices and intense competition.

I think I was around 10 or 11, which means we lived in the Prospect House. It was summer. We went on a vacation. A family vacation. I'm not sure what spurred this vacation. I have no idea why. We never went on vacations. We never did family outings. We never did family pictures. We never did family stuff. Not that that is bad, we just never did.
The destination was Arkansas. Why? I don't know why. I don't think we knew anyone in Arkansas. The trip was taken in a station wagon. You know, the colored panel ones with a crap ton of room. We could spread out in the way back and not have to worry about being seat belted in. It was not a law then. We could sleep way in the back and be comfortable. The humming of the engine, the sound of the tires rolling down the interstate made it easy to relax and fall asleep. That gentle noise always put me to sleep.
It seemed like we drove forever. Forever in kid time. It had to have been a couple of days at least. I remember when we got "there," we stopped at a grocery store. We bought a watermelon and some other items. I only remember the watermelon. It had to be solid dark green though. That's what dad wanted. Those were the best kind of watermelons. Why that is significant to me, I'm not sure. We went to the place where we were staying. It wasn't a hotel or anything like that. It was a house. It was a cabin/house in the woods with lots and lots of trees. There were no other houses close by. It was strange. It was like a scary movie. I wouldn't realize that then, but now, that's what I feel.
This house was big. It had lots of room and a big deck on the back. We played outside. I don't remember doing any other kinds of activities while we were on vacation. One of the days I went out back and was playing in the "yard," if you could call it that. There really wasn't a yard, just trees. The deck was sloped, so there must have been a walk out basement in the house.
The details are vague. It's weird, I remember the watermelon clearly and the next incident clearly. That's it. I remember nothing else about the trip. I remember nothing about why we were there. I remember nothing of what the inside of the house looked like, just the outside yard and the deck.
I went out to play in the back. I noticed that I could hang on to part of the deck and swing under it, like gymnastics bars. I wondered if I would get slivers from the wood. I thought I would try it. I was bored. There really wasn't anything to do. I was wearing shorts and a t-shirt, my typical summer attire. I don't think I was wearing shoes. I grabbed the deck. It was good. No slivers. I started swinging by hanging on to the boards with my hands and swinging my legs up underneath the deck. I felt something. It felt like fire. It was stinging. I wanted to let go, but I couldn't. If I did I would fall on my back or my head. I had to wait until my legs came back down and then out from underneath the deck. My leg was burning like crazy. Once I could let go, I looked at my leg. The pattern was a circle, then another circle in that circle and finally the center. My skin was red and puffy. Huge bubbles of skin. Red bubbles of skin. Skin on fire. Stinging skin. I was screaming and jumping up and down.
Unbeknownst to me, up underneath the deck was a flying ant nest. I never even knew there was such a thing. After I had run back in the house and told mom and dad what had happened they went out and looked. I wasn't going anywhere near there again. My leg was on fire. It hurt for days after that. I think mom put something on it to help with the sting and the swelling, but it didn't seem like it helped much.
So that was the extent of the family vacation. I can't remember anything else about it. I used to envy my friends who went on vacations every summer. After that vacation, I didn't care if I ever went on another one again.

|Re: Copyright and license questions
|Wed, 02 Dec 2015 06:42:01 GMT
I'm not an official answer-person for this list, but I actually think I've been in these same situations and have supplied what I learned from this list and others inline in this color… From: Roberta Marton <firstname.lastname@example.com<mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com>> Reply-To: "email@example.com<mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com>" <email@example.com<mailto:email@example.com>> Date: Tuesday, December 1, 2015 at 3:41 PM To: "firstname.lastname@example.com<mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com>" <email@example.com<mailto:email@example.com>> Subject: Copyright and license questions I am the release manager for Apache Trafodion incubator and we are trying to resolve some license/copyright issues in order to perform our first release. I have reviewed the Apache web pages regarding license and notice file several times but still need some clarification. One of our mentors suggested I send my questions to this list. Question 1: How to handle a Copyright on top of an Apache copyright In our code, we include a file that contains a copyright on top of an Apache license. In this case, the Copyright is from the company that donated the code. For example: Copyright 2013 <company name of a project that is not Apache> Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the "License"); you may not use this file except in compliance with the License. . . . limitations under the License. @author: <someone's name> From apache documentation (http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html): If the source file is submitted with a copyright notice included in it, the copyright owner (or owner's agent) must either: 1. remove such notices, or 2. move them to the NOTICE file associated with each applicable project release, or 3. provide written permission for the ASF to make such removal or relocation of the notices. and BUNDLING AN APACHE-2.0-LICENSED DEPENDENCY Assuming once again that that the bundled dependency itself contains no bundled subcomponents under other licenses and thus the ALv2 applies uniformly to all files, there is no need to modify LICENSE. If the dependency supplies a NOTICE file, its contents must be analyzed and the relevant portions bubbled up into the top-level NOTICE file. What does it mean if the "dependency supplies a NOTICE file"? In this context, is a NOTICE file the same as a copyright notice? AH: In many Apache licensed releases, there is an actual file called NOTICE (or NOTICE.txt). So no, the NOTICE file isn't the same as the copyright line in a file, but does often contain copyright information. So - should I just remove the copyright notice since it is covered by Apache code - should I add something to the notice file (and leave the copyright in the source as is), for example "This software contains code donated by <company name> licensed under Apache version 2.0, author <author name>" - should I add this copyright information to the LICENSE file? - other? AH: You need to be the copyright holder or authorized by the copyright holder to touch copyright lines in a file. When I bring in code bases from my employer, my employer's legal team grants me permission to move the copyright notices to the NOTICE file. When I brought in a code base that had a former employee's copyright in it (the files were acquired in an acquisition), we got written permission to move the copyrights from the former employee by having him send an email to our dev@ list. So, assuming you work for the company providing the code, you can move the copyright but you might want to ask someone higher up the management chain or someone on the legal team for permission first. Question 2: How to handle a copyright from a project prior to said project becoming TLP In this case, we used code from Phoenix prior to Phoenix becoming TLP. They are test files and each file contains a Salesforce copyright, and we have made several modifications to the files. Copyright (c) 2013, Salesforce.com, Inc. All rights reserved. Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without modification, are permitted provided that the following conditions are met: . . . OF THIS SOFTWARE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE. We don't have plans to pick up a more recent version of these test files and want to keep using the same files that we significantly modified. I assume then that the files are not part of Apache but from the prior Salesforce license. AH: Originally, every line of code in that file was owned by SalesForce. If you can find a copy of every line owned by SalesForce in the Phoenix version control then you can claim that you are using the Apache version. But it has to be every line. It doesn't have to be in the latest version, so you may need to snoop through Phoenix change history to see what the lines looked like when SalesForce licensed those lines to Apache. Any SalesForce-owned lines in your copy that you can't find in Apache versions is technically still owned by SalesForce, and assuming the license is Apache-compatible, you can treat it as a third-party work. So it really matters whether you decide that file is now all-Apache (AL) or still 3rd Party (3P). I looked on the following web page, but unfortunately it tells you what needs to be done but does not tell you how or show examples http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html#redistribution: Given the case from the above and from the web page: You must give any other recipients of the Work or Derivative Works a copy of this License – - Would just leaving the copyright/license in the source suffice? or AH: If 3P, don't touch the headers. If AL, update to the header that Phoenix is using. - Do you need to add license information to the LICENSE file? AH: If 3P, yes, if AL, no unless there is stuff in the Phoenix LICENSE directly related to these lines of code You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices stating that You changed the files – - Is adding our own Apache copyright and/or modified license on top sufficient? AH: If 3P, don't touch the headers. When you mention these files in LICENSE, I think you can mention that you modified those files. And if you decide to mention your modifications in the file itself, I would do it below the header or in the comments of the modifications itself. - Should we just add a statement indicating that the files were modified by us? I have seen the following in other Apache projects, is this sufficient? - Copyright (c) 2010-2011 <company> - With some minor modifications for Apache <project>. You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and attribution notices from the Source form of the Work, excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of the Derivative Works - I assume this means that we don't remove existing any copyrights, etc. from the source files AH: Correct if 3P. If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained within such NOTICE file … - I assume we need to add something to the NOTICE file, what is an attribution notice? AH: Whether 3P or AL, you would add anything in any NOTICE file that come with those files to your NOTICE file. If no NOTICE file and the file is 3P and not under AL, the non-AL license may also stipulate things that must go in the NOTICE file. Question 3 – Embedded copyrights In general, I am scanning the code looking for Copyrights that are not Apache and making sure they are addressed in a correct manner. In one of the files that we use from Sencha, there is a main copyright at the top of the file and then there are several copyrights embedded within the file. Do I need to include all copyrights in the file in the LICENSE file or can I just include the main one. The copyrights are all based on the MIT license. AH: There is a preference to not include other license text in the LICENSE file. IOW, the LICENSE file starts with the full AL text, then a series of blurbs like: "This product bundles Sencha's Foo 1.2.3 which is available under the MIT License. For details see <path to LICENSE file in a folder for those files, or maybe the actual file itself>" So no copyrights of any sort need to be included in LICENSE if you use that pattern. HTH, -Alex

As I said in my crazy post about "Dune", reason is the word of Objectivism. Chapter 5 of O.P.A.R. established that it is only through reason (not emotions) that we acquire knowledge about the world; and Chapter 6 has established that it is only through reason that man survives. I will no longer delve into (i) for now, but I think (ii) needs a little more attention.
When Aristotle says that man is the rational animal, Ayn Rand understands that man qua man is defined by the use of reason. The term "qua" is most notoriously used by Aristotle in his "Metaphysics" when he defines the discipline itself at the beginning of Book Gamma:
"There is a science that investigates being qua being (ὂν ἢ ὀν) and the attributes which belong to this in virtue of its own nature."
In my own words, I take qua to mean something like "as considered based on what makes it an entity of this type rather than an entity of any other type". You could consider man as a bipedal animal, but bipedalism is not what makes him stand out as a man — his rationality, according to Aristotle, Ayn Rand and my humble self, is.
So when Ayn Rand and Leonard Peikoff talk about man qua man, they are saying that man proper is he who uses his mind to the fullest. But does the fact that "reason is what differentiates man from all other beings" necessarily make it the tool he needs to survive?
Feral children have been reported in many places around the world, but especially in India, where their stories have been told for centuries. Among them, probably the most emblematic case is that of Dina Sanichar, the "wolf-boy". Sanichar lived his first six years of life among wolves until being found by hunters, while following the pack to its cave, running on all fours. The question is: how did he survive?
He made no weapon to hunt or any tools to make fire or shelter. In fact, he would always shun cooked food and he never learned to speak. Well, to be perfectly honest, he ended up learning to smoke; perhaps man, the addicted animal, is a better definition of man, after all.
If we then assume that he has used a low level of reasoning to imitate the wolves and thus learn the least to seek food and water, then we must assume that the wolves also have that same level of reasoning. In this case, it is not any level of reasoning that separates men from animals. But then, how to establish such a threshold?
If, instead, we assume that he survived by instinct, then Ayn Rand is wrong, and the proposition that man's basic means of survival is reason is also wrong. The survival of Sanichar would mean that man also survives without reasoning.
The solution to the problem is that he would not be surviving qua man. And I think that's what really matters.
Returning to Aristotle, there is no doubt that he would NOT consider Sanichar a man. For Aristotle, slaves, women, and children were not men as such but inferior beings. Man, the rational animal he speaks of is the citizen of city-states. And that's it.
Of course, we will not be so extreme, but then let's be practical: Ayn Rand is not talking about Sanichar either.
When she talks about survival, it is not survival at any cost; it is not survival as a "wolf-boy", and neither it is survival as Diogenes, the cynic, also known as "the dog," living in a tub and performing the "natural functions of the body" in public. A man can survive as a dog, or as a coward criminal who rapes, kills, and intoxicates himself with drugs on a daily basis. But he would not be a man, neither based on Aristotle's standards, nor on Ayn Rand's, nor on mine. He would not be surviving qua man. To do so, he must use his reason and act accordingly.
Those more scientifically inclined may want to focus on what Ayn Rand says about man having no instincts, and bring in a bunch of scientific articles showing that he does possess them, but that would not make any difference to the argument here put forth. If he had instincts, he could perhaps survive like a dog, sniffing for food. But that would be, at most, man qua dog. Any instinct that man might have would never lead him to build skyscrapers, find the cure for tuberculosis, or philosophize. Man does all this by living qua man — by using his reason as his basic tool of survival.

How to Take Great Pictures of Your Christmas Tree
There is something special about a Christmas tree, which makes it the perfect subject for a holiday picture. There are also plenty of Christmas tree photos that focus on a single ornament, and many of you want to capture pictures of your tree purely for its own beauty. Regardless of your reason for taking a Christmas tree photo, there are various effects you can get out of the picture depending on the settings you choose on your camera, and whether or not you use your flash when you take the picture.
Most of the time, Christmas tree pictures should not be taken with a flash. If this type of picture is snapped carelessly, your holiday picture can wind up looking very unnatural. If you use a flash, but are otherwise careful about the other light in your room and the settings on your camera the tree will be lit evenly, but it will overpower other lights in the room and make it difficult to see the ornaments.
TripodMost experts also suggest using a tripod when taking Christmas tree pictures. There are some people who do not own a tripod, and in these situations it is recommended that the photographer try and prop the camera the best they with books or whatever they can find that will help keep the camera steady. The next important thing to remember is to use a slow shutter speed; this is part of the reason why a tripod is recommended, because simply holding the camera still for any length of time can be difficult. By setting the ISO relatively slow, between 100-200 ideally, you can reduce pixel noise as well and get a clear shot. If you want to keep focus mainly on the tree, and leave the emphasis off the background, you can also widen your aperture to give the background a blurred effect.
Auto ExposureTo get the exposure right on your Christmas tree photos, the easy thing to do is to simply use the auto-exposure setting on the camera, this will allow for clear pictures even when the other lighting is less than ideal. Most Christmas tree pictures will turn out better when there is not a lot of added light. However, when there are other subjects besides the tree, such as children, the rules change a bit.
LightingAs beautiful as your tree may be, your real focus for this type of picture is your little one's shining face. Sometimes the light in the room may be adequate enough to properly light a child's face, for example when sunlight comes in the window on Christmas morning, but it is hard to be sure until you test the photo. You could do this simply by trial and error, or you could get close to the child and meter his face to make sure it will have enough light to suit your needs. In this case, if you find you want more light, you can go ahead and use the flash (although not directly in the child's face). Some people do not mind lower light in this type of holiday picture because they find it lends a softer, more angelic look to the photo. However, if you want all the focus on the tree and no distracting background images such as furniture and toys, you can put up a simple muslin backdrop to isolate the tree.
Sometimes, you may want to get some shots of your Christmas tree that are a bit different from the tried and true and have a more artistic feel to them. Many of these Christmas tree photos will go ahead and use the flash or other lighting in order to get an alternate effect.
White BalanceTo make their tree pictures look unique, some people play with their saturation and white balance settings on their camera. A lower saturation can mean less overkill with the lights and a more defined focus on ornaments. This is good to do with branch close-ups. Adjusting the white balance can actually bring a hint of color to the background of the photo. A fluorescent setting will make your photo have a slight pinkness to it, while a cloudy setting brings in some yellow.
Do you take photos of your beautifully decorated Christmas tree every year?

Burton's, Penrith
Posted in Architecture, Art Deco at 12:00 on 9 March 2019
In all our travels down to England we had never stopped at Penrith, Cumbria, till February last year. We also made a stop there in September 2018 when we went down south again. Photographs were taken over the two visits.
It's a compact town with some individual shops but some chain ones too.
Like many other towns Penrith's Burton's building is typically Art Deco:-

As a nation, we are still trying to understand to the grim realities of the tragedy that unfolded in Charlottesville. I hope you will all read the deeply personal statement President Ana Mari Cauce sent to the University community earlier this morning. Groups like those white supremacists who marched in Charlottesville spew a philosophy that is counter to everything we stand for as an institution of higher learning.
The end of our academic year is also an opportunity to celebrate our entire community, from our students to our faculty and staff, our friends and alumni. We are a better University because of all your many achievements over the last academic year.
The University of Washington Bothell stands with international scholars and students affected by President Trump's executive order banning immigration from seven nations. I echo President Ana Mari Cauce's recommendation to our community members from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen to avoid international travel at this time.

Essay writing is probably the most universal form of writing and writing a 5 paragraph essay is the most common type of essay writing.В At some point of their lives, students undergo an essay writing class. Moreover, essays are often used in college entrance exams.
Timed Essay Question
A timed essay question is a common form of essay writing. It is typical for a student to encounter this in any essay writing class. The basis for a students grade is his or her ability to organize the necessary information through making a strong argument and coming up with a well-founded conclusion. The purpose of an instructor in an essay writing class is to show that the student (1) has a good understanding of the topic, (2) communicates the information accurately, and (3) blends the answer with their own concepts or ideas.
How to Prepare for a Timed Essay Question
1.Constantly write down good notes all through the semester. Ask the instructor his or her specific criteria for grading.
2.If the question is provided beforehand, ask your instructor whether or not you may bring an outline of the question during the exam. You may also make a rough draft and memorize it ahead.
3.If essays seem lengthy, make short outlines. Write down central ideas which you can easily memorize. If you do so, you can answer with more confidence and precision in your essay writing class when the day for the exam arrives.
4.If the question is not given, then try making up possible essay questions. It is important that you listen carefully in your essay writing class. Most of the time, your instructor will make use of the information he or she stresses. Formulate your own questions from the stressed information. You may also share ideas with other students.
5.Analyze other essay questions you have answered in the past. Read your instructors comments and think of ways on how you can improved based on those comments.
6.Always ask questions ahead. For example you may ask about the definite time that will be given for you to make the essay, whether you are required to submit your pre-writing versions together with your final essay, the required length for the essay, the required format, etc.
Writing an essay is a difficult task for many. In fact, most students dread essay writing class. However, if you just follow basic preparation tips provided, you will definitely find essay writing simple and easy.

I have degrees in Geology and Electrical Engineering, and worked on the design team of many of the world's most complex designs, including some which likely power your PC or Mac. I have worked as a contract software developer on climate and weather models for the US government.
Tony Heller: "My position on global warming:
The claims of 97% consensus are a massive lie. Only 52% of American Meteorological Society members believe that man is the primary contributor to global warming.
The radiative transfer models used by government climate scientists show that going up to 550 PPM or even 1000 PPM CO2 will make minimal difference to the radiative balance of the atmosphere. The knee of the CO2 curve is at about 30 PPM, and additional CO2 has little first order effect. This is because almost all radiation in the CO2 absorption spectra is already being absorbed by H2O or CO2 molecules. Adding more CO2 has minimal effect, because there is not much radiation left to be absorbed. (This is a bit of an oversimplification because of second order effects, but those are also small.) There is no indication from the radiative transfer models used by government scientists that additional CO2 will cause large amounts of heating."

Although a mix up of JNB with 789s could be good, ex-PER/MEL, take on SA. From anecdotal memory I think VA always had high load factors ex-MEL, but the detour killed them, but I understand this has now been relaxed?
Not exactly relaxed, CASA now SAYS it will approved EDTO>180, although none has so far although to be fair there may not have been any applications. About 2 years ago, much missed member SunriseValley [RIP] lodged an FOI request with CASA re EDTO >180 applications. They replied that as of that date none had been lodged. While sceptical the time I now tend to believe as no one is doing so on an Aussie AOC & 2 years would be very believable for the first application.
Having said that VA may not be willing to jump through the hoops that would be required especially regarding equipment & maintenance, such approval does not come cheap!
If anyone will do it it will be QF. Being able to go deep into the south will allow SCL to go daily with a 789 and potentially allow opening of GRU/GIG/EZE with 789s as well. JNB will be part of this package for QF.
I agree that it anyone do EDTO>180 it'll be QF. VA has no need for it either, the LA route can be perfectly covered by EDTO180.
However QF might not necessary mean 789, it could also mean A359 especially since A3510 is making a visit to Sydney again.....

Erik is five and enters Kindergarten this year, so choosing a homeschool math program was on my to do list. Alpha Omega Publications gave us the chance to try their LIFEPAC Kindergarten Math Kit in exchange for a review, so that relieved me of having to shop around!
LIFEPAC's full-color, worktext curriculum is based on the principle of mastery learning, in which students truly grasp the context and skills of one unit before progressing to the next. LIFEPAC's math curriculum uses repetition, drill and application to encourage mastery of basic arithmetic skills.
Erik was immediately drawn to the full-color workbook pages and cute illustrations; he wanted to sit down right away and work on some lessons (even though it was only July!).
LIFEPAC level K starts out with very simple concepts like big vs. little and counting 1, 2 and 3, so Erik jumped right in with no problem.
The Kindergarten Math Curriculum Set includes a teachers manual and student workbooks 1 and 2 packed in a sturdy box. The kit retails for $56.95, or you can buy each of the three books separately $17.95 each. The kit price is very reasonable and comparable to other similar programs which include the worktext and teacher's guide.
There are 160 lessons in total. If you do math 5 days a week, then this gives you 32 weeks to finish the program completely. For my young students, we've always followed a 4-day school week, and I can easily work the LIFEPAC into our system by having Erik do two lessons instead of one on some days. Many of the lessons, especially in book one, are very simple and involve coloring a picture or circling the right answer. If you have a child who isn't into coloring, just skip those pages.
The work pages aren't time consuming or overwhelming, so it's been enjoyable going through the program with Erik. Sometimes, he even asks to do extra pages.
The LIFEPAC curriculum introduces one concept at a time, and encourages mastery of each topic. Since most children in Kindergarten are just learning to read, they will need guidance with the workbook directions.
You'll find many typical beginning math exercises in the worktext, plus a few that are a little bit different. I like the variety, such as using tally marks to count, instead of having to write numbers all the time.
The concepts covered in Alpha Omega's Kindergarten math program include:
- Shapes and size comparison
- Counting (in Book 2, your student reaches 100)
- Writing numbers
- Sets
- Addition facts up to 10
- Subtraction facts up to 10
- Telling time (hour and half hour)
- Number sequences (before and after)
- Money (pennies, nickels and dimes)
The teacher's guide provides step-by-step teaching instructions for all 160 lessons, an answer key, and lots of ideas for additional activities designed to reinforce important math concepts. There's also a weekly lesson planner page that you can photocopy.
The suggested materials in the teacher's guide are easy to obtain:
- Crayons
- Pencils
- Objects for counting
- Flash cards (you will need to purchase these elsewhere – dollar stores have them for a buck or two)
You can see the scope and sequence of the Kindergarten program, plus more sample pages here.
Alpha Omega is a Christian publisher, and there are what I would describe as "non-denominational" themes throughout the workbooks. For instance, in the math workbooks there might be a coloring page featuring a biblical character, or a dot-to-dot with a short message about Jesus.
Alpha Omega offers a full homeschool curriculum for grades 1-12, including Bible and electives. The full accredited learning program has print-based, computer-based and online components.
My only suggestions for improvement would be: (a) For Alpha Omega to offer additional resources and/or manipulatives to enrich their math program for hands-on and visual learners, and (b) For the workbooks to be spiral-bound. That way, they lie flat and are easier for young children to work with.
Overall, Erik and I both really like this math program and look forward to completing it in the spring!
You can shop Alpha Omega Publication's LIFEPAC curriculum materials directly at their website. You can also follow on social media:
