Micro Machine Hot Wheels form!
I can't say too much about the Dark Void event held at a Tesla Motors dealership last night — but luckily I don't have to. The Dark Void community site's got it covered. Check out their video for info on how you could win an actual Tesla Roadster via Dark Void.
Full swag report: Dark Void figurine, Tesla Roadster
Micro Machine Hot Wheels, promotional booklet (not pictured). The Polly Pocket and the Jawa are from my collection.
Swag cat is...
...disinterested. Maybe if I'd brought home a real Tesla Roadster, she'd give a damn.
ETA: Quite right, it's a Hot Wheels car. This is why blogging at night is bad for me.

Teen Performance Ensemble & Children's Theater
Are you a teen, age 16 or older who loves to act, sing, and dance and wants hands-on experience performing in front of live audiences? Our Teen Performance Ensemble and Prince George's Children's Theater were designed just for you.
Since 1996, the Teen Performance Ensemble has provided on-the-job training in musical theater skills to aspiring actors of high school age. In 2000, Prince George's Children's Theatre was established to give more teen performers the opportunity to earn money during the summer, while enhancing their abilities in acting, singing, and dance.
These two theater companies present original, one-act musical plays, written by local playwrights and directed by theatrical professionals, to children enrolled in M-NCPPC's Summer Playgrounds and Camps. Over 100 performances are scheduled through the summer months. Graduates of these two troupes have gone on to study at some of the premier drama departments in the nation. From there, they have become professional actors, radio personalities, playwrights and theatrical directors. Auditions are open in the Spring to any student 16 years of age or older. If selected, actors will earn an hourly wage while providing live entertainment for their younger peers and gaining valuable experience.
Tuesday, April 14, 2020, 6:30 PM - 9 PM

Those selected will perform in a one-act, live musical production at M-NCPPC Summer Playgrounds and camps during June and July. Attend the audition nearest your home. Prepare a one-minute monologue and an up-tempo song or dance. No appointment is necessary. For information visit arts.pgparks.com, or contact the Performing Arts Specialist at 301-446-3238.

Some spots are full of pedestrians with little road traffic. Examples could be shopping malls, universities, or large parking lots.
That's where
comes in. It's a robot shuttle designed to carry up to 8 passengers. Laser range finders, cameras and a special software package let it move autonomously through the crowds. It recharges its Lithium-Polymer batteries at each stop through an instant induction recharging system.
Beep beep.
OUT OF HOT WATER: Panasonic's new thermoelectric material pulls electricity out of hat water as it runs through a pipe. The thermoelectric tube carries hot water while cold water cools the outside. Metal components with high thermal conductivity are stacked at an angle so heat flows from inside the tube to outside, while electric current flows along the tube. A 40 cm section of pipe is enough to run a light bulb. The new material produces 3 or 4 times as much power as conventional systems. Put a stretch of this on the pipes coming out of your hot water cylinder.
BATTERY PACK: The Prieto 3D battery uses a real 3D structure to generate more power. Conventional batteries may stack 2D components, but they're slow to charge, lose energy quickly and need to be replaced often. Liquid electrolytes can also make them toxic and highly flammable. The 3D battery weaves the components together instead of stacking them, increasing the surface area and producing a very high density battery. It charges quickly, has a long life and produces more energy. A solid state electrolyte also reduces the risk of toxicity and fire hazard. Quicker to charge, more power, longer
life: the gadget makers should be in on this.
YO GO GADGET: Researchers at North Carolina State University may have the answer to the problem of gadget cables that just aren't long enough — they've made them stretchy. They filled elastic polymer tubes with a liquid metal alloy of gallium and indium which conducts electricity efficiently. Now the cables can stretch up to 8 times their original length while still charging gadgets. Inspector Gadget would be happy.
STILL THERE IN BLACK AND WHITE: In the UK householders have to pay to licence the TV in their house. Licences for colour TVs cost 3 times as much as for black and white TVs. But that's not the oddest factoid.
What's astonishing is that there are still more than 13,000 households licensing the old black and white TVs, down from 212,000 in 2000. New
Zealand did away with TV licensing fees back in 1999.

This plugin allows to set up automated reminder emails, texts and Facebook messages to both logged in and visiting customers who abandon carts on your site, and helps to recover otherwise lost sales.
There are several reasons customers abandon carts, from complicated checkout processes to better pricing on other sites, high shipping costs, incompatible payment methods, slow websites or a personal distraction among many others. And such customers account for around 60% of the total .
This statistic proves that even if you improve your website or, say, checkout process, a large chunk of the customers would still abandon their carts.

We have made every effort to make our plugin compliant to the GDPR guidelines. As a part of compliance we do not capture any data of end users and customers without consent.
For all users, the cart is considered as abandoned after the set cut-off time has passed. The default value for this is X minutes. For a logged-in user, the cart is tracked right after the product is added to his cart. It is considered abandoned as soon as the cut-off time has passed since adding the product to cart. Whereas, for a guest user, if Add to cart popup modal is enabled then the cart will be abandoned once the email address is entered in popup modal. If Add to cart modal is disabled then the cart can be abandoned only after the guest user reaches the checkout page and mentions his first name, last name, phone number, and email address.
When you add or edit an email template, it has a 'Enter coupon code to add into email' Here you need to enter a coupon code that you have created from WooCommerce > Coupons page. You would also need to add the {{coupon.code}} merge tag in the Body section of the template. This will send the same coupon code to all customers to whom that abandon cart email is sent to. If you want to send a unique coupon code to each customer, then you need to enable the 'Generate unique coupon codes' setting. In addition, you still need to enter a parent coupon code in the 'Enter a coupon code to add into email' setting. The unique coupon codes will be generated based on the settings added for the parent coupon code. You can learn more about the coupon code settings here.
When an order is claimed, it is removed from the Abandoned Orders list and moved to Recovered Order tab under WooCommerce > Abandoned Carts. No further emails will be sent to any customer who has already claimed their abandoned cart.
Yes. You can view which email templates are sent to which customers from the Sent Emails tab. You can also view which customers have opened the email. Alternatively, for email sent to customers, you can also send a copy of it to the site admin or to an external email address too. This can be done from the add/edit email template page in the 'Send the Abandoned cart emails to:' field.
Our plugin uses the WP-Cron which will send the abandoned cart reminder email to customers automatically. The email sending is done at every 15 minutes. If you want, you can change this interval from the 'Setting for sending emails using WP Cron' under 'Email Sending Settings' page in Settings.
There are several reasons abandoned cart reminder emails not being sent from your website. It could be that WP-Cron is disabled on your site, or your server has some restrictions which does not allow WP-Cron, or the emails are actually sent, but the email server has failed to deliver them to the recipient. If you see the emails under the 'Sent Emails' section but if they are still not being received, then it's likely a problem with your email server. You can contact your web host about this. You can refer to this post for fixing the WP-Cron issue.
Yes, that is dummy data. The merge tags in the email template are replaced with the data of the store, like admin email address, two simple products of the store and other information are fetched and replaced with the merge tags. When the actual abandon cart recovery emails are sent out, these merge tags will be replaced with the customer's cart data.
Once the customer clicks on the add to cart button, our plugin opens the popup modal for capturing the customer's email address. If the email address capture is set to be mandatory in admin, then the popup modal will close if the email address is not provided by the customer & the item will not be added to cart. Once the email address is provided by the customer, only then the product will be added to the cart. The email capture can be set as non-mandatory, which means that the popup to ask for email address will be displayed, but the customer can simply click on the 'No thanks' button & proceed to adding the item to the cart. You can learn more about the Add to cart popup modal here.
If you are using custom buttons for Add to Cart, then the popup won't appear. The Add to Cart popup appears with the default Add to Cart buttons. It is also possible that you are using the Add to Cart button on a custom page & not one of the default pages like WooCommerce's shop page, product page, category page and on the home page. You can contact our support team to get this resolved as each custom button needs a different solution.
Yes, our plugin is compatible with WPML. You can send the abandoned cart reminder emails in different languages using WPML. Our plugin will send the abandoned cart reminder emails in the respective language in which the customer has abandoned the cart. You can learn more about it here.

Jazz Fans (Bloggers) Have Never Been This United
Please, be quiet.
Seriously, shut-up!
Just STFU already
Shut the fVck up and play…Seriously, just shut the fVck up…
"Boozer, I wish you would shut your big yapper!"
Dude, just shut up.
On a side note, David Locke is trying to convince listeners that ESPN Chicago got FB on the air under false pretenses (by saying that the interview would be about his basketball camp) and poor FB got bamboozled when they started asking him free agency questions. Meanwhile, 1280's morning show is on a mission to get Boozer on the air, and has left Pelinka something like 15 voice mails so far.
Note: The pacifier in the picture above is 14K gold and studded with diamonds, and has a price tag of $17,000. I hope Boozer can afford such a luxury, with the economy the way it is…

neckattack brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 148 Designs von 31 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
neckAttack ®
Our company specializes in relaxing people. Our massagists are booked by large companies to offer neck and shoulder massages to stressed out office workers and retail staff. They also work at large events and fairs to help exhibitors (and visitors) relax after a long day. This is the main focus of the business.
The second business focus is bar/pub massage where our massagists swarm out on massage pub crawls and offer relaxing neck massages to patrons of bars and pubs.
The logo should appeal to both our clients and our staff.
Clients in business massage are from all walks of life, but mainly office workers and retail staff. All ages.
Our massagists are youngish, open-minded, humorous people who love working in a flexible environment.
The logo should reflect the youthful and sunny disposition of our massagists and convey an idea of swift, healthy, relaxation.
We are straightforward, down-to-earth, relaxation experts, not practitioners of quackery woo-woo. Thus, the logo must not contain any "spiritual" elements, e.g. dolphins, purple rays, fairies or similar stuff.
Although the name contains "attack," the logo should not look aggressive. Our style of "attacking" our clients' necks is like your best friend giving you a firm slap on the back when s/he greets you: Friendly and humorous, yet targeted and with a clear purpose.
We use (among others) Australian Massage, so it could be nice if the logo contained some slight reference to Australia, but is definitely not required. (No air-kicking kangaroos!)
No overly glossy "web 2.0" styles, no unnecessary gradients.
We prefer the name be written camel-cased (neckAttack®), uppercased (NECKATTACK®) or lowercased (neckattack®). No space between the words, ® glyph must be placed to the right of the company name. No Comic Sans, no Papyrus, no Trajan.
Ideally, the logo should work well in monochrome as well as in at least two color schemes: One scheme for business massage, and one for bar/pub massage.
Also, bar/pub massage staff ususally wear black shirts when on duty, so at least one colour scheme needs to work well on black background.

ReadWriteWeb notes that, after much speculation as to how Twitter would find a business model to support its burgeoning social network, the red-hot start-up is now, finally, showing ads. This anti-climax is almost like Freddie Mercury, the lead singer of the not-so-subtly-named QUEEN, finally revealing that he was gay in 1989: Everybody saw it coming but wondered what took so long!
The flamboyant Mercury waited until AIDS had nearly finished him to admit the obvious (and, sadly, died shortly thereafter). For Twitter, though, embracing advertising is not the end but the beginning. Twitter's growing popularity has meant little to the company other than increased costs. But now advertising will let Twitter "monetize" its success, while empowering users to "vote" for Twitter without having to pay a cent for the service.
I suspect that Twitter has waited till now to start showing ads—and that venture capital investors were willing to fund Twitter during this stage—because it seemed to make sense to "build critical mass" first, before trying to monetize viewership. This has been, in principle, Facebook's strategy, too, as I've discussed.
By following in the footsteps of so many other ad-supported titans of the Internet—from Yahoo! to Google and everyone in between—Twitter may finally have started to grow up. The next step in its evolution will be allowing advertisers to target ads to users based on their Tweets, which will increase the profitability of ads on the site. After that, Twitter will face pressure to offer advertisers more sophisticated forms of targeting, such as targeting ads to users based on their browsing "behavior" (other sites they've looked at). Just imagine the outcry!

Gast to undergo surgery for left lat tear
ST. LOUIS -- Left-hander John Gast will undergo surgery Friday to repair a tear in his left lat, which he said will likely keep him out another four to five months.
Gast was placed on the 15-day disabled list May 26, diagnosed with a left shoulder strain. In his third start of the season May 25, he exited after facing just six batters, citing discomfort in the back part of his shoulder.
Although initially expected to return within a month or two, the 25-year-old rookie said Wednesday that the muscle was progressing "poorly."
"That's obviously why we needed to have surgery," Gast said, "because it wasn't getting better."
Manager Mike Matheny said in late June that he didn't expect Gast to be out so long with the injury, adding that he was still a few weeks away from beginning a throwing program.
"He's still moving along pretty slowly in the rehab process," Matheny said June 22. "But it sounds like it's a pretty complicated injury that does take time."
Gast was called up in May to start for an injured Jake Westbrook and made his Major League debut May 14, a 10-4 win over the Mets. Gast improved his record to 2-0 his second time out before taking a no-decision in his injury-shortened third start.

|Dunkelbunt Raindrops and Elephants (CD)
|Dunkelbunt "Raindrops and Elephants" CD
Similar to Kruder & Dorfmeister and Jazzanova, Vienna-based Hamburg native Ulf Lindemann aka [dunkelbunt] is part of the creative DJ movement which transcends standard Central European techno and house music by drawing inspiration from other genres and cultures. His remixes for artists as various as Balkan Beat Box, 17 Hippies and the Amsterdam Klezmer Band have gained him international renown. While spinning records in San Francisco, Istanbul, Barcelona, Melbourne, London, Budapest and Capetown, [dunkelbunt] was exposed to Piranha's rich catalogue of global sounds and the idea for a remix album was born. A passionate blender of spices in his spare time, dunkelbunt sees composing and cooking as related arts: both concern the mixing of different ingredients, be they herbs or instruments, sounds or colors. Both are about making a harmonic whole for body and soul. With "Raindrops and Elephants" [dunkelbunt] applied his passion for blending to selected Piranha original tracks and transformed them into a fresh, summery, Mediterranean-flavoured whole; electronica la ragga, dub and house paired with rap, singing and samples. The geographical origins of the selected Piranha artists are as wide spread as their associated musical genres. These include Cape Verde (Simentera), Albania (Fanfare Tirana), Serbia (Boban I Marko Markovic Orkestar), New York (Frank London Klezmer Brass Allstars), Marseille (Watcha Clan) and Egypt (Jalilahs Raks Sharki).

Human evolution tied to a small fraction of the genome – "Only about 7.5 percent of the human genetic instruction book shaped the evolution of human traits, a new study suggests. And it's often not genes, but the how-to instructions for using those genes that are most important, researchers report January 19 in Nature Genetics…. Previously, researchers have mostly looked for evolutionary clues in protein-producing genes because proteins do much of the important work in cells and organisms. Altering a protein may change the way an organism looks or acts. But mutations that alter proteins often are devastating to an organism and therefore aren't passed on to offspring. Gulko and colleagues found that only 9 percent of the DNA that got evolution's attention resides in protein-coding parts of the genome that are shared with other species. About 52 percent of the places showing signs of natural selection were in intergenic regions, the stretches of DNA between genes. Another 35 percent were in introns — spacer DNA found within genes but not involved in encoding proteins. Both intergenic regions and introns often contain DNA responsible for controlling gene activity. These findings suggest that human evolution works mostly through changes in how genes are used, rather than by altering genes and the proteins they encode."
The Wrists of Birds Reveal Evolution Undoing Itself – "Contrary to earlier claims, a new study shows that evolution may be reversible." – previously from greg cochran: Back to the trees.
Kennewick Man was Native American – "'Genetic analysis is still under way in Denmark, but documents obtained through the federal Freedom of Information Act say preliminary results point to a Native-American heritage.'" – from dienekes. see also from razib: Native Americans Are Evolutionarily Elegant – "One insight of modern ancient DNA is that there has been a great deal of population turnover over the past ~10,000 years, as well as admixture between disparate lineages. When Kennewick Man died ~9,000 years ago Europeans as we understand them did not exist genetically."
The Genetic Ancestry of African Americans, Latinos, and European Americans across the United States – "Over the past 500 years, North America has been the site of ongoing mixing of Native Americans, European settlers, and Africans (brought largely by the trans-Atlantic slave trade), shaping the early history of what became the United States. We studied the genetic ancestry of 5,269 self-described African Americans, 8,663 Latinos, and 148,789 European Americans who are 23andMe customers and show that the legacy of these historical interactions is visible in the genetic ancestry of present-day Americans. We document pervasive mixed ancestry and asymmetrical male and female ancestry contributions in all groups studied. We show that regional ancestry differences reflect historical events, such as early Spanish colonization, waves of immigration from many regions of Europe, and forced relocation of Native Americans within the US. This study sheds light on the fine-scale differences in ancestry within and across the United States and informs our understanding of the relationship between racial and ethnic identities and genetic ancestry." – see also: The Fluidity of Race from greg cochran.
Genghis Khan's genetic legacy has competition – "The Mongolian leader left a strong footprint in the Y chromosomes of modern descendants — but he was not the only one."
Largest-ever autism genome study finds most siblings have different autism-risk genes – "In the new study, Dr. Scherer's team sequenced 340 whole genomes from 85 families, each with two children affected by autism. The majority of siblings (69 percent) had little to no overlap in the gene variations known to contribute to autism. They found that the sibling pairs shared the same autism-associated gene changes less than one third of the time (31 percent). The findings challenge long-held presumptions. Because autism often runs in families, experts had assumed that siblings with the disorder were inheriting the same autism-predisposing genes from their parents. It now appears this may not be true." – h/t shrikant mantri!
Genetic mutation for metabolic disease identified within an Inuit population – "The disease in question, glycogen storage disease type IIIa, is caused by mutations in the AGL gene, leading to less-active glycogen-debranching enzymes. The disorder disrupts the body's capacity to release sugar from glycogen, resulting in the formation of damaging glycogen deposits…. Glycogen storage disease IIIa affects around one in 100,000 people in North America. However, the researchers estimate that the disorder may affect around 1 in 2,500 people in Nunavik – the homeland of the Inuit in Quebec." – maybe they should stick to eating seal blubber. srsly!
Admixture in the Americas: Admixture among US Blacks and Hispanics and academic achievement – "[W]e see the expected directions and order, for Blacks (who are mostly African), American admixture is positive and European is more positive…. We do not see the expected results per genetic model. Among Hispanics who are 73% European, African admixture has a positive relationship to academic achievement. American admixture is negatively correlated and European positively, but weaker than African. The only thing that's in line with the genetic model is that European is positive. On the other hand, results are not in line with a null model either…." – from emil kirkegaard.
School – "In summary, it very much looks like more years of education are associated with an increase in intelligence test scores, but not anything like as strongly to underlying general intelligence or to underlying basic processing speeds." – from dr. james thompson.
Genetic Pleiotropy Explains Associations between Musical Auditory Discrimination and Intelligence – "[A] large sample of Swedish twins (N = 10,500) was used to investigate the genetic architecture of the associations between intelligence and performance on three musical auditory discrimination tasks (rhythm, melody and pitch). Phenotypic correlations between the tasks ranged between 0.23 and 0.42 (Pearson r values). Genetic modelling showed that the covariation between the variables could be explained by shared genetic influences. Neither shared, nor non-shared environment had a significant effect on the associations. Good fit was obtained with a two-factor model where one underlying shared genetic factor explained all the covariation between the musical discrimination tasks and IQ, and a second genetic factor explained variance exclusively shared among the discrimination tasks. The results suggest that positive correlations among musical aptitudes result from both genes with broad effects on cognition, and genes with potentially more specific influences on auditory functions." – h/t rosalind arden!
The Role of Parenting in the Prediction of Criminal Involvement: Findings From a Nationally Representative Sample of Youth and a Sample of Adopted Youth [pdf] – "The role of parenting in the development of criminal behavior has been the source of a vast amount of research, with the majority of studies detecting statistically significant associations between dimensions of parenting and measures of criminal involvement. An emerging group of scholars, however, has drawn attention to the methodological limitations — mainly genetic confounding — of the parental socialization literature. The current study addressed this limitation by analyzing a sample of adoptees to assess the association between 8 parenting measures and 4 criminal justice outcome measures. The results revealed very little evidence of parental socialization effects on criminal behavior before controlling for genetic confounding and no evidence of parental socialization effects on criminal involvement after controlling for genetic confounding." – h/t jayman!
Hospitals Aim to Better Match Blood Donors and Recipients – "People fall into one of four main blood groups — A, B, AB and O — and they have a so-called Rh factor that is either positive or negative. But scientists over the last few decades have discovered around 33 blood groups and continue to identify more. Each group also contains multiple variations that go to make up a patient's exact blood type."
Ageing research: Blood to blood – "By splicing animals together, scientists have shown that young blood rejuvenates old tissues. Now, they are testing whether it works for humans." – parabiosis. it's baaaack!
Comparative analysis of the human saliva microbiome from different climate zones: Alaska, Germany, and Africa [pdf] – "Here we analyze the saliva microbiome from native Alaskans (76 individuals from 4 populations), Germans (10 individuals from 1 population), and Africans (66 individuals from 3 populations) based on next-generation sequencing of partial 16S rRNA gene sequences. After quality filtering, a total of 67,916 analyzed sequences resulted in 5,592 OTUs (defined at ≥97% identity) and 123 genera. The three human groups differed significantly by the degree of diversity between and within individuals (e.g. beta diversity: Africans > Alaskans > Germans; alpha diversity: Germans > Alaskans > Africans). UniFrac, network, ANOSIM, and correlation analyses all indicated more similarities in the saliva microbiome of native Alaskans and Germans than between either group and Africans. The native Alaskans and Germans also had the highest number of shared bacterial interactions."
Tuberculosis genomes track human history – "A study of nearly 5,000 samples of Mycobacterium tuberculosis from around the world shows how a lineage of the bacterium that emerged thousands of years ago in Asia has since become a global killer that is widely resistant to antibiotic drugs. Although M. tuberculosis probably first emerged some 40,000 years ago in Africa, the disease did not take hold until humans took to farming…. [T]he common ancestor of all the M. bacterium strains circulating today began spreading around 10,000 years ago in the ancient Fertile Crescent, a region stretching from Mesopotamia to the Nile Delta that was a cradle of agriculture…. But of all the M. bacterium strains circulating today, few strike more fear in public-health officials than the 'Beijing lineage'. First identified in greater Beijing in the mid-1990s, this lineage now circulates throughout the world and many strains are resistant to drugs that vanquish other types of TB…. Consistent with its name, the Beijing lineage did indeed emerge near north-eastern China…. And it did so around 6,600 years ago, the researchers found, which coincides with archaeological evidence for the beginnings of rice farming in China's upper Yangtze River valley." – h/t billare!
Your Friends Know How Long You Will Live: A 75-Year Study of Peer-Rated Personality Traits – "To test whether friends' reports of personality predict mortality risk, we used data from a 75-year longitudinal study (the Kelly/Connolly Longitudinal Study on Personality and Aging). In that study, 600 participants were observed beginning in 1935 through 1938, when they were in their mid-20s, and continuing through 2013. Male participants seen by their friends as more conscientious and open lived longer, whereas friend-rated emotional stability and agreeableness were protective for women. Friends' ratings were better predictors of longevity than were self-reports of personality, in part because friends' ratings could be aggregated to provide a more reliable assessment."
Voluntary Activities and Daily Happiness in the US [pdf] – "This paper analyzes differences in daily happiness between those individuals in the United States who perform voluntary activities during the day, and those who do not…. [T]hose who devote any time to voluntary activities during the day report higher levels of daily happiness than those who do not…. [W]hen the issue of reverse causality is taken into account, we find no differences in daily happiness between volunteers and non-volunteers, which indicates that happier individuals are also more likely to volunteer." – h/t ben southwood!
Aberrant Gene Expression in Humans – "The uniqueness of individuals is due to differences in the combination of genetic, epigenetic and environmental determinants. Understanding the genetic basis of phenotypic variation is a key objective in genetics…. One of our major findings is that private SNPs may contribute to aberrant expression in outlier individuals. These private SNPs are more frequently located in the enhancer and promoter regions of genes that are aberrantly expressed, suggesting a possible regulatory function of these SNPs."
Recurrent loss of sex is associated with accumulation of deleterious mutations in Oenothera – "Sexual reproduction is nearly universal among eukaryotes. Theory predicts that the rarity of asexual eukaryotic species is in part caused by accumulation of deleterious mutations and heightened extinction risk associated with suppressed recombination and segregation in asexual species. We tested this prediction with a large dataset of 62 transcriptomes from 29 species in the plant genus Oenothera, spanning 10 independent transitions between sexual and a functionally asexual genetic system called permanent translocation heterozygosity…. These results confirm that an important advantage of sex is that it facilitates selection against deleterious alleles, which might help to explain the dearth of extant asexual species." – h/t melissa wilson sayres!
Perceptions Of Required Ability Act As A Proxy For Actual Required Ability In Explaining The Gender Gap – @slate star codex. make sure to read jayman's comment there! this one, too.
Lewontin wins the Crafoord Prize – "The Crafoord Prize for 2015 was awarded to Richard Lewontin and Tomoko Ohta, for their discovery that there was very much more genetic variation that had been expected. Lewontin discovered this using protein gel electrophoresis to study a number of loci in Drosophila. It's an important result. The problem is, virtually everything he's said and done since that time has been a pile of steaming ideological crap." – from greg cochran.
Single Markers Tell You Only a Bit About Individual Ancestry – "A new paper in The American Journal of Human Genetics, Estimates of Continental Ancestry Vary Widely among Individuals with the Same mtDNA Haplogroup, tells you something which should be obvious: one marker tells you only so much about individual ancestry. In other words, the history of one gene can only tell you so much about the whole genome. Because mtDNA and Y chromosome* does not recombine you can treat it as one long genetic marker…. But Richard Lewontin's insight that a great deal of human genetic variation is not partitioned across populations, but within them, applies to mtDNA and the Y chromosomes as well. Where Lewontin's insight misleads is that using just a few more markers one can obtain relatively robust phylogenetic trees which reflect well the population structure and history of a given species." – also from razib.
The Economist takes a half step forwards – "They do not examine the usual finding that educated parents are more influential than rich parents in supposedly 'boosting' intelligence. They leave out the genetic element entirely, and say it is 'incomes' which are inherited. If so adoption into a rich household should have massive effects on intellect, but that is not found. If adoption cannot wipe the slate clean, what chance a kindergarten?" – from dr. james thompson.
Gender divide in religious belief, survey suggests – "A big gender divide exists between men and women in their 40s in belief in God and life after death, a poll suggests. Of the British men surveyed, 54% said they were atheists or agnostics compared with only 34% of women. The study also showed that Muslims in the survey had the fewest doubts about the existence of God and the afterlife. The research involving more than 9,000 British people born in 1970 was analysed at the University of Essex." – h/t ed west! who tweeted: "71% of evangelical Christians have no doubts about God's existence. 33% of Catholics, 16% of Anglicans & Methodists."
This Woman Can't Feel Fear – "Damage from a rare genetic condition appears to have knocked out the 'fear center' in her brain."
Thumb bones in pre-humans make them more like us, study says – "Some of our tree-swinging pre-human ancestors may have been a bit more like us than previously thought, thanks to a tiny section of their thumbs. One key attribute that separates humans from other animals is our opposable thumb, and the way parts of the thumb are structured to allow for a strong yet precise grip that fostered advanced use of tools. It's what allows us to throw items more precisely, pick guitars and turn a key. And now, thanks to high-tech tools of our own, scientists have determined that a couple million years ago one of our pre-human ancestors had the same human-defining precision grip, even though researchers think of them as little more than upright walking apes, according to a study published Thursday in the journal Science. That supports earlier but controversial evidence that the small-brained Australopithecus africanus fashioned early tools." – h/t regular ron!

Statues were hacked down. Frescoes were smashed to bits. Mosaics were pulverized. Illuminated manuscripts were shredded. Wooden carvings were burned. Precious metalwork was melted down. Shrines were reduced to rubble."

At the Raven Theatre, 6157 North Clark Street in Chicago, expect to spend a sentimental and humorous Sunday matinee or evening performance enjoying Brighton Beach Memoirs. The Neil Simon play journeys to Brooklyn, N.Y. in the late 1930s. The Great Depression is still plaguing families across the nation and people like Jack Jerome are worried that money is stretched so tightly just to pay the necessary bills. He's upset at the thought that his two sons may soon be forced to join the Allies in World War II. And Jack worries about the every-day conflicts which affect him, his wife, their two sons, his widowed sister-in-law, and her two daughters who all live together under one crowded roof in war and peace.
Sixteen-year-old Jewish-Polish narrator, Eugene Jerome, comically but wisely deciphers both his life and that of his extended family throughout the play. His main concerns are naturally his own issues –his consuming love of baseball, his lust for seeing his first naked woman and his desire to become a famous writer. Eugene is witty and wise beyond his age, and actor Charlie Bazzell is adorable and adept at narrating events front- and center-stage (and left field too) during most of the play. He's definitely an actor whose face you'd like to pinch with love!
Like today's extended and out-of-joint family life so many of us can relate to, Eugene is quick to point out the many things his family members do to annoy and worry each other: from his mother's constant commands to do this and do that; to the sudden disappearance of his brother Stanley, who gets involved in gambling to help the family with money. Unfortunately, he loses a week's pay – which complicates the need for his income to help the family out with necessary expenses.
Revivals of older plays often seem antiquated and aged on stage. If the home's furniture and tchokes, as well as the actors' clothes and hair styles were contemporary instead of accurately portraying a time almost eighty years ago, it might just be a play for today.
This play is a semi-autobiographical portrayal of playwright Neil Simon's early life. On Broadway it won the New Drama Critics' Circle Award for Best Play in 1983.
The play is at once funny, sentimental, wry, tender, sarcastic, but altogether a worthwhile show to see. My one objection, minor though it may be for some of the audience, is that the talented ensemble didn't speak "Brooklyn-ese." I am an expert on that unique dialect every place I go, and the accents were definitely more Bostonian than from any part of Brooklyn I've ever lived in or visited. C'est la vie…
Director Cody Estle and his team have selected an excellent acting ensemble amidst a two-story home where the audience views the actions in every room except for the kitchen. The upstairs bathroom even has major importance in the show!
Kudos to the stars: JoAnn Montemurro (Kate- fussy, demanding mother of Eugene and Stanley); Ron Quade (Jack -the father everyone looks to for approval); Liz Fletcher (Blanche-demure widowed sister of Liz who has lost her way in life most of the play);Sam Hubbard (Stanley - Eugene's older brother); Sophia Menedian (Nora-Blanche's older daughter whom Eugene lusts for); and Elizabeth Stenholt (Blanche's younger and quitter daughter).
To be congratulated for their talent: Amanda Rozmiarek (Set Design/Scenic Artist), Greg Hofmann (Lighting Designer), Frances Maggio (Costume Designer), Melissa Schlesinger (Sound Designer), Andrei Onegin (Technical Director), Justin Castellano (Master Electrician), Kate Hardiman (Dramaturg), Kendra Thulin (Dialect Coach), Kate
Masiak (Stage Manager) and Hana Rickert (Assistant Stage Manager).

I hate this day for the obvious reasons. I won't give it much fanfare on this site as it will be over in a few short hours. As a nation we have become obsessed with the occult and Halloween. Here's a warning, pray for protection for yourselves and loved ones. Plead the blood of Jesus over your house, marriage, children. Declare out loud that no foul and unclean thing shall enter your domain. This is spiritual warfare 101. Take authority in the name of Jesus, over the day and all that goes with it and rest in the knowledge that He has triumphed over death, and thus, the enemy is a defeated foe.
Here's an interesting post from JRed at Look Up Fellowship. Thanks to Susan for giving me the heads up! He nails what is going on and he closes his post with a something that first appeared on this Blog. Thanks JRed!
Aliens, UFOs, Full Disclosure – Notable Quotable
Posted by JRed
Genesis 3:1 (KJV) Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? (emphasis mine)
Satan. Not only the Father of Lies, but the Subtle Serpent as well. Keep that in mind as we continue with this thought. See if you can spot the subtle message being transmitted in the cases I'll cite.
The quote listed below came to mind when I pondered the following examples of predictive programming (NLP Psy-Op type stuff via pop culture) — from just the past week or two alone:
> Bizzare clouds forming in the skies recalling Hollywood imagery of what it would look like if "UFOs" arrived in our airspace (first it was in Moscow, Russia and the latest example just occurred in Romania the other day);
> The Balloon Boy Hoax (obvious "UFO" symbolism in the shape and color of the balloon, and a family responsible for the hoax that believes in the phenomenon as being wholly "extraterrestrial" as opposed to a spiritual one);
> The big announcement that "Full Disclosure" is imminent (November 27th, 2009 given as a potential date for such an event);
> NASA's Ares 1-X NASA rocket launch (supposedly marking the future of man's voyage in space and to Mars to seek out new life forms);
> New York Yankees being introduced during Game 1 of the World Series to the theme from Star Wars (subtly reminding us of a galaxy far, far away and the "star wars" to come?);
> Wednesday night's world premiere of the new children's Halloween holiday special that's a spin-off of the film Monsters vs. Aliens (in this story a traditional UFO accidentally spills some intergalactic sludge into a pumpkin patch, creating mutant pumpkins that want to take over the world; resonates with the "Ancient Astronaut Theory" of evolution that says an ET race genetically engineered life on this planet and that they were the ones that really created us);
> The Fourth Kind set to premiere in theaters nationwide (a film that takes the "Alien Abduction" meme to a whole new level!);
> ABC's launch of the highly anticipated series V next week (many curious changes to the show in recent weeks that have raised some eyebrows)
Here's that quote that seems quite relevant these days:
"I keep harping on this because we need to understand that disclosure is coming and when it hits, it will be too late to form an opinion as to what the phenomena is. Whether it is benevolent or malevolent. Whether it is deception or deliverance. The media will tell us what to believe and our president will announce that most of the aliens are friendly. We are warned very specifically that, Satan when he shows up, will come with all signs and lying wonders. The supernatural is manifesting as never before and unless we have an understanding of it we can easily be misled. That is why I refer to the Bible as, The Guidebook to the Supernatural. The buffer that has kept the two dimensions apart seems to be receding. We must test the spirits and we must use our weapons of warfare, which are not carnal. I have said that there will be an Apostasy, a Great Falling Away and this will follow-on the heals of the revealing of UFOs. We are also told that there will be a one world religious system, which immediately begs the question, how do you get everyone on the same religious page? The revealing of E.T. would do it." L.A.

Cardiovascular disease includes conditions that affect the heart and blood vessels, such as atherosclerosis (clogging of the arteries), heart attack, stroke, and high blood pressure. While you may think that these conditions are more of a concern for adults, researchers are now highlighting how important it is to prevent cardiovascular disease from developing in children.
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) has developed guidelines to help promote heart health in children. It's never too early to think about your child's future! Learn how doctors can identify whether your child is at risk, what can be done to prevent cardiovascular problems, and which treatments can improve your child's chances of becoming a healthy adult.
Is Your Child at Risk?
Based on the latest research, the NHLBI's guidelines provide ways for doctors to assess the risk of cardiovascular disease in children. Recommended screenings include:
Other important factors that the doctor will consider include whether your child has:
- A history of exposure to secondhand smoke or has a personal history of smoking
- A family history of cardiovascular disease
- A sedentary lifestyle
- A poor diet
By evaluating your child, the doctor can address conditions that are closely linked to cardiovascular problems, like obesity, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure.
What Are the Recommendations?
Focusing on the areas of nutrition, physical activity, and tobacco exposure, the NHLBI recommends prevention and treatment guidelines for children of all ages. You can play an integral role at home by:

Axford bounces back with save, works on control
DETROIT -- Sometimes the best remedy for a bad outing is the chance to swiftly take the mound again. One game after his first blown save of the season, Indians closer John Axford was asked to shut the door on the Tigers on Wednesday night.
Axford was happy to have that opportunity and was thrilled to seal the Tribe's 3-2 win in Detroit, which could not cash in after putting a runner on third with one out in the ninth inning. For Axford, it marked his fifth save in six chances.
"It's good to get in a game right after," Axford said. "To get back out there, especially in a tough situation as well, getting the guy on third base there, it's good to back up a blown save with a save."
One thing that Axford is working on right now is lowering his uncharacteristically high walk rate. Through eight games and 6 2/3 innings, the right-hander has issued six free passes. He is quick to point out that four came in two games (he walked two on March 31 and two more on April 6), and he is confident that he can get back to his usual level.
Last season, Axford walked 26 in 65 innings between his stints with the Brewers and Cardinals, turning in a rate of 3.6 walks per nine innings. That represented the second-best rate of his career, only above the 3.1 average he had in 2011, when he saved 46 games and had a 1.95 ERA for Milwaukee.
"It's really just a matter of making sure I attack the hitters," Axford said, "and do that a little more aggressively than what I have been. That still remains a focus of mine when I go out there. I just have to make sure I accomplish it."
Indians pitching coach Mickey Callaway pointed to Axford's track record, which includes a number of slow starts. Axford's April statistics for ERA (5.86), WHIP (1.56) and opponents' on-base percentage (.346) are each the highest for any calendar month. Based on the closer's career, Callaway expects Axford to improve as the season wears on.
"He's always battled early in the season," Callaway said. "He's trying to work through it a little bit. Any time you get those big guys with long limbs, it's always going to be a challenge to throw a strike, it seems like. He's just got to make sure that he's attacking the right way. I think he's going to be good."

Plenty of 'pen options remain available to Brewers
General manager Melvin has engaged in discussions with 'a few' relievers
MILWAUKEE -- The Brewers have been silent observers of the free-agent market, but have had communication with "a few" available relievers, general manager Doug Melvin said this week. He did not rule out making an addition before Spring Training to address the most inexperienced facet of his ballclub.
Since Milwaukee traded Francisco Rodriguez to the Orioles in July rather than lose him in free agency after the season, and sent John Axford to the Cardinals in August because the plan was to non-tender him, the Brewers have only one pitcher on the 40-man roster with any experience closing Major League games. Jim Henderson gained virtually all of that experience in 2013, when he took over for Axford one week into the season and went 28-for-33 in save opportunities with a 2.70 ERA.
Henderson is expected back in that role to start 2014, but the rest of Milwaukee's 40-man roster accounts for all of three big league saves -- two in veteran Tom Gorzelanny's career and one for Alfredo Figaro in 2013. Henderson's projected setup man, Brandon Kintzler, logged 36 saves over parts of nine Minor League seasons, including a career-high 16 in 2010 between Double-A Huntsville and Triple-A Nashville. Rob Wooten has 78 Minor League saves, including 20 for Nashville in 2013 before his promotion to Milwaukee.
Melvin said at the Winter Meetings he is seeking late-inning insurance and would like to add at least one or preferably two more relievers who have closed games in the Majors. But he is hesitant to overpay a free agent, pointing to the year-to-year volatility of relief.
"Right now, we're just going to [fill the bullpen] internally, unless that changes," Melvin said.
If that changes, there are still options out there. Twenty of the pitchers on MLB.com's Free Agent Tracker have logged at least 10 Major League saves, some of whom could fit the Brewers' tight budget.
In alphabetical order, here is a rundown of those options:
David Aardsma (69 career saves): The 32-year-old Aardsma had a nice comeback with the Mets last season after rehabbing from July 2011 Tommy John surgery. He made 43 appearances with a 4.31 ERA. But he has not been a closer since he saved 38 games in 2009 and 31 games in 2010 for the Mariners.
Luis Ayala (19 saves): He logged nine of his saves for the Mets in 2008 and has only one save since then, but has been a steady big league reliever since bouncing between three teams in a dismal 2010. Over the past three seasons, Ayala has made 157 appearances for the Yankees, Orioles and Braves with a 2.58 ERA and a solid ground ball rate. He spent time on the disabled list last season because of an anxiety disorder and turns 36 next week, but is seeking a Major League contract.
Andrew Bailey (89 saves): Non-tendered by the Red Sox in December, Bailey is the first of the comeback candidates on this list. He made 30 appearances and logged eight saves before undergoing season-ending shoulder surgery shortly after the All-Star break, the latest of a series of medical concerns that have dogged his career. Bailey probably will not be healthy by the start of the season.
Grant Balfour (72 saves): He is the best closer left on the market and the most familiar name on this list because Balfour briefly pitched for the Brewers in 2007. The price tag is a big problem. The 36-year-old, who has posted an ERA of 2.59 or better in four straight seasons, agreed to a two-year, $15 million contract with the Orioles before Christmas, but it reportedly fell apart when Baltimore had concerns about Balfour's shoulder. He insists he is healthy.
Rafael Betancourt (74 saves): The right-hander, 39 in April, was to undergo Tommy John surgery in September in attempt to save his career. He probably will have to wait until his age 40 season in 2015 to give it a try.
Manny Corpas (34 saves): Corpas preceded Betancourt as Rockies closer, but has not logged a save since undergoing Tommy John surgery in 2011. He pitched for the Cubs in 2012 before returning to the Rockies in 2013 for 31 appearances and a respectable 1.344 WHIP. The Rockies outrighted Corpas from the 40-man roster in October.
Octavio Dotel (109 saves): Missed most of the 2013 season with a right elbow injury. As of last check in September, Dotel was trying to avoid Tommy John surgery and planned to pitch in winter ball, but has not appeared in any box scores.
Kyle Farnsworth (54 saves): Farnsworth turns 38 on April 14 and his fastball velocity has come down a bit in the last three years, but he finished last season strong for the Pirates (one run on six hits and three walks with nine strikeouts in nine appearances) and would be available on a one-year deal. MLB Trade Rumors reported last week that six to eight clubs have some interest in Farnsworth, who saved 25 games with a 2.18 ERA for Tampa Bay in 2011.
Frank Francisco (73 saves): The former Rangers, Blue Jays and Mets closer missed most of 2013 recovering from an elbow injury. The season before, he made $5.5 million and had a 5.53 ERA.
Michael Gonzalez (56 saves): He signed with the Brewers for 2012, was well-liked by teammates and led the club with 75 appearances, but allowed a.274 average against left-handed hitters and a 1.035 opponents' OPS after the All-Star break. The Brewers are not interested in bringing Gonzalez back.
Kevin Gregg (177 saves): Gregg signed a Minor League deal with the Cubs in April after the Dodgers released him, and eventually helped Chicago overcome Carlos Marmol's struggles. He logged 33 saves with a 3.48 ERA in 62 games, including two saves and one blown save against the Brewers. The Brewers have been linked to Gregg before.
Joel Hanrahan (100 saves): Another rehabber. Hanrahan, traded from the Pirates to the Red Sox in December 2012, underwent Tommy John surgery in May and reportedly will throw for teams in Spring Training to try to find a job.
Brandon Lyon (79 saves): The 34-year-old right-hander has a pair of 20-save seasons on his ledger, but has been a setup man since 2010. He made 37 appearances for the Mets last season with a 4.98 ERA and was released in July. His average fastball velocity fell from 90.2 mph in 2012 to 87.8 mph in 2013, according to data from FanGraphs.com.
Ryan Madson (52 saves): A shutdown setup man turned quality closer for the Phillies, Madson has not pitched since 2011. He signed with the Reds for 2012, but needed Tommy John surgery in Spring Training, then signed with the Angels for 2013, but never made it to the mound.
Marmol (117 saves): He was all but run out of Wrigley Field, but Marmol is only 31 (of pitchers on this list, only Bailey and Corpas are younger) and could be a good fit for a Brewers team willing to take a flier. He was very close in Chicago with Brewers third baseman Aramis Ramirez, who is entering the final season of his contract with Milwaukee and is represented by the same agent, Paul Kinzer. He was still throwing a 93.7 mph average fastball in 2013, when Marmol made 52 appearances for the Cubs and Dodgers with a 4.41 ERA, including a 2.53 ERA in 21 regular season games with the Dodgers. Melvin and Kinzer met at the Winter Meetings to discuss Marmol.
Brett Myers (40 saves): A serious elbow injury limited Myers to four appearances with the Indians in 2013, but he is looking to pitch in 2014, according to reports.
Jon Rauch (62 saves): The Brewers explored signing the 6-foot-11 right-hander last winter, but he went to the Marlins and posted a 7.56 ERA in 15 games before being released in May.
Fernando Rodney (172 saves): Life is good when a 37-save, 3.38 ERA season qualifies as a "down year," but such is life after Rodney's remarkable 2012 campaign. The fact he is seeking a multiyear deal probably puts him out of the Brewers' price range.
Rodriguez (304 saves): The Brewers have already acquired K-Rod twice; in a trade with the Mets the night of the 2011 All-Star Game, and via a Minor League free agent contract last April. Rodriguez made it back to Milwaukee and helped stabilize the bullpen, posting a 1.09 ERA in 25 games before Melvin dealt him to the Orioles for third base prospect Nicky Delmonico. Rodriguez, who turned 32 on Tuesday, is represented by Scott Boras. Another return is quite possible; Melvin said he's talked to Boras about Rodriguez this winter.
Jose Valverde (286 saves): Thirty-six in March, it appears Valverde's best days are behind him. He pitched to a 5.59 ERA in 20 appearances for the Tigers last season before the team released him in August.

JPA defines an interface (or API) to persist normal Java objects (or POJO's in some peoples terminology) to an RDBMS datastore. The JPA API itself is provided by the persistence-api (or javax.persistence) JAR. DataNucleus provides an implementation of JPA, embodied in the datanucleus-api-jpa JAR. While DataNucleus allows you to use JPA against any of its supported datastores if you are intent on using JPA for persistence to a non-RDBMS datastore we highly recommend that you think deeply about that decision, and consider JDO instead since the design of JPA and in particular JPQL force assumptions to be made in how the persistence/query process operates.
Note that this version of DataNucleus requires the JPA 2.1 API
JPA uses a definition of how the users Java objects map to the chosen datastore structure. This mapping can be provided by way of XML metadata, or alternatively by having Java annotations in the code. The whole point of having a standard mapping and API is that users can, in principle, swap between implementations of JPA without changing their code. Make sure you have datanucleus-api-jpa.jar in your CLASSPATH for this API. The process of mapping a class can be split into the following areas
Note that with DataNucleus, you can map your classes using JDO MetaData (XML/Annotations) OR using JPA MetaData (XML/Annotations) and still use the JPA API with these classes.
At runtime the JPA code can be split into several sections.
If in doubt about how things fit together, please make use of the JPA Tutorial
If you just want to get the JPA API javadocs, then you can access those here

For experienced attorneys looking to build their practice through challenging and innovative work in a leading firm...
Summer associates are welcome to attend all in-house training programs, which may include litigation luncheon series...
Because our lawyers, and in many cases our clients, rely on BakerHostetler staff members for support...
"Very client-oriented, and a strong talent in the labor and employment arena. They keep us abreast of current issues affecting the business."
These days, almost any workplace policy or interaction can be a potential hair trigger for costly, high-risk litigation. When the EEOC or aggressive plaintiffs' lawyers come calling, retaining BakerHostetler signals that you mean business. The other side knows that we will not hesitate to use our litigation experience to convey the strength of your case or to defeat them in court.
Our employment litigators have a proven track record, with more than a dozen successful cases tried to verdict during the past year alone. We are veterans in defending complex multiparty employment disputes, class actions, government suits and the full scope of individual private-plaintiff actions in state and federal courts and agencies nationwide.
This year's litigation successes come from the front lines of employment and labor conflict. We have crossed swords with the EEOC, defeated class certifications in wage and hour disputes and beaten retaliation claims and whistleblower suits.
We help keep employers out of court, yet fight vigorously on their behalf if litigation is necessary.
Although we try a large number of cases every year, the majority of our cases are won at the summary judgment stage, settled early in our client's best interest, or solved cost-effectively in alternative dispute resolution procedures (several of our lawyers serve as mediators and arbitrators and are familiar with both sides of the table). Our close consultative approach enables clients to weigh whether the costs and risks of litigation—including reputational risk—are worth bearing and when they are not, even if the case is winnable.
We also help our clients avoid employment litigation by implementing up-to-date workplace policies and practices and training management to ensure these policies are communicated effectively and applied fairly. We counsel clients on daily workplace issues to help avoid potential liability, including ensuring compliance with wage and hour laws, managing downsizings, plant closings, employee restructurings and handling incentive and buyout programs. We also provide regular updates to clients on changing workplace laws that affect their business. In addition, we are frequently asked to direct internal corporate investigations regarding serious employee misconduct.
