1981 Mercedes-Benz 200-Series 240dThe W123 chassis are among the most durable, stylish, and sought after automobiles ever produced by Mercedes-Benz. If you are reading this listing you likely already know that these vehicles can easily be found on ebay and elsewhere with 300k, 400k miles, or more. This amazing car at 35 years old has under 53,000 miles... that's about 1,500 miles a year!
This amazing example is in incredible condition. Great lustre and shine in the paint. Please note this is NOT a restoration, just a well cared for, garaged 35 year old car. I believe I am the 2nd owner: it was bought in Charlotte, NC in 1981 and driven by an older lady until she eventually gave the car to her granddaughter who traded it in 2014.
Mechanically everything is in order even to include the dash analog clock which I replaced with a factory original. The vacuum system including the master lock feature that locks/unlocks all doors when the driver's door is unlocked. A/C works. Engine starts and runs fine every time.
In reviewing the photos note that even the original 240d floor mats are still there. Owner's manual is still in the glove box. Also, note one of the photos to include documentation I have assembled on the car - not a complete set of documentation but includes what I have done.
The only thing I am aware of that might need attention and is cosmetic in nature is the piece of wood trim on the glove box that has warped and pulled away from the glue. This is a common condition for these cars.
I had the windows professionally tinted and the tint is in great shape. Also replaced all the original speakers in the car with new same-size speakers... was NOT willing to cut up or alter the car. Due to the 2 small speakers in the front and rear there was little bass so I added the subwoofer in the trunk. The audio system also includes bluetooth. The original AM/FM Becker cassette player factory option is available and will be provided with the car. (The dash was not cut to install the new unit in the dash).

Was His Pen Mightier Than His Sword?
The Literary Churchill: Author, Reader, Actor
By Jonathan Rose
Yale University Press 516pp £25 order from our bookshop
This is one of the most remarkable books ever written about Winston Churchill. It is clever, fluent and based on wide reading, in and out of the archives. It is original: no academic has studied the literary and theatrical Churchill in greater forensic detail than Jonathan Rose, who portrays him as 'an artist who used politics as his creative medium, as other writers used paper'. The book is well balanced, neither iconoclastic nor hagiographical, and critical where necessary. It is sometimes funny and often provocative. It is full of shrewd insights into Churchill's character and astute observations about his career

Maine could lose its standing as the New England state with the highest percentage of toothless residents if supporters of a $5 million bond issue on the November ballot get their way. While organized opposition to the measure has not materialized, there is some question as to whether Maine voters are in the mood to endorse state borrowing, and one public health expert says dentists need concrete financial incentives to locate here.
Question 2 on the ballot will ask voters to approve state borrowing of $3.5 million to help pay for a new, $10 million teaching clinic for students of a proposed dental school at the University of New England, which has campuses in Biddeford and Portland. Another $1.5 million would be spent on upgrading facilities and equipment and expanding capacity at existing nonprofit dental health clinics throughout the state.
Both pieces of funding would be administered in an open bidding process. UNE is a likely contender for the teaching clinic, although other colleges and universities may also bid. Nonprofit clinics also would bid for awards to improve their facilities and equipment.
Advocates for Question 2 are kicking off a statewide campaign today.
Kneka Smith, associate dean for planning at UNE, said Monday that the dental school will cost a total of $20 million to get up and running and is already on track to admit its first class of students in 2012. The program will place fourth-year students in community internships at nonprofit dental clinics throughout the state, where they will provide comprehensive dental services for children and adults under the supervision of a licensed dentist, she said.
The long-term goal of the program, Smith said, is to increase the number of dentists who are committed to living and practicing in rural Maine communities.
"We are looking to turn out graduates who will be leaders in community health, public education and clinical excellence," she said.
In a recent survey published by the World Health Organization, 42.9 percent of adults in West Virginia 2004 had no teeth, compared to 24.3 percent in Maine. But Maine's rate was highest among New England states, trailed by New Hampshire at 21.1 percent.
According to the Rev. Bob Carlson, president of Penobscot Community Health Care in Bangor, Maine has one dentist for every 2,300 residents, compared to the national 1:1,600 ratio. The shortage is especially acute in the northern and more rural sections of the state. PCHC, classified as a "federally qualified health center," operates sliding-scale dental clinics in Bangor and Old Town and expects to provide about 38,000 dental visits this year, Carlson said. There is still unmet need in the Bangor area, and farther afield, the demand for services is even greater, he said.
In addition to PCHC, there are 18 other federally qualified health centers in Maine, most in rural areas. Only 12 provide dental care. All would be eligible to apply for funding to create or expand dental services and host dental interns, Carlson said. In addition, a few other nonprofit dental clinics in Maine would be eligible to bid.
All three of Maine's gubernatorial frontrunners endorse the measure, as do a number of medical and public health groups in Maine. At the University of Maine at Farmington, political science professor Jim Melcher said Maine voters rarely turn down bond issues. But this year, he said, with the state and national economies struggling, there is a growing call for fiscally conservative policies.
Melcher said many Maine voters will be surprised to find the dental school bond issue on the ballot and will not have thought through their response before voting on it.
"I predict it will win," he said, "but it may not be easy."
Pediatric dentist and public health advocate Jonathan Shenkin of Augusta, immediate past president of the Maine Dental Association, said Monday that developing a dental school at UNE and placing dental interns in rural clinics will do little long term to ease Mainers' access to dental care.
The real problem, he said, is Mainers' inability to pay for even discounted dental services.
"If people can't pay for their care, you can't force [dentists] to show up here with $350,000 in dental school debt and try to make a living," he said. The state would do better to develop tax incentives and loan forgiveness programs to attract dentists to specific communities, he said.
The other bond issue on the ballot would allow the state to borrow $9.7 million for the Land for Maine's Future program, a measure Melcher predicts will enjoy a stronger margin of voter approval.
At UNE, Smith said she speaks regularly with potential dental school students from Maine who are interested in the program's public health mission. Some private fundraising for the new dental school is already in place — more hinges on the outcome of the November vote, she said.

The CNESPS* biobank is a population based research infrastructure for public health. It stores biological material collected from groups of individuals, all ages, resident in Italy, selected according to different study criteria (e.g. the elderly, newborns, twins etc.). They agree to participate to research projects and to donate blood or other tissues.
The Biobank currently stores approximately 290,000 biological specimens collected from 40,000 individuals between 1993 and 2014. The biological material is linked with health and life-style information provided by donors during health examinations and interviews. Several sample collections are part of longitudinal studies with follow-up for various health related traits (mainly cardiovascular diseases) or data linkage with official administrative and medical data set.
The CNESPS biobank has most of its origin in the life-course epidemiology activities conducted by several research groups. During the '80s, a series of cohort studies on cardiovascular diseases, conducted within the Cuore Project, collected serum samples from subgroups of the general population in Italy. The procedures for collecting and storing biological materials were then uniformed according to those of the European EPIC Project, which provided the standard for the storage of samples in liquid nitrogen.
Other population based studies provided important collections of biological materials. Among them, projects on cognitive decline (IPREA and DEMENZE Projects); research aiming to disentangle the genetic and environmental components of various multifactorial diseases and health traits (The Italian Twin Register twin studies on atherosclerosis, autoimmune diseases, psychological and behavioural traits, etc); immunity studies (ESEN Project); newborns cohort studies on various health traits (Piccolipiù Project).
The Biobank was formally established in 2005 at the Centre for Epidemiology, Surveillance and Health Promotion of the National Institute of Health, Rome.

I have so many things to be thankful for this year and though I had a really RUFF start, my life now is truly one to be thankful for.
Since I'm only one and a half years old, I feel from the beginning might still be the best place to start.
THANK YOU... to the first people who found me and rescued me from that terrifying place I was born into, and had to live in, those formative, critical first weeks of my life. That was not a nice place! I didn't understand why I was there, or why I felt so hungry all the time. You know, not all of the other baby Rhu's were so lucky:-(((
BUT someone, even then, was watching out for me...I was sent an angel of rescue to carry me out of the rubble.
I am so thankful.
As big as my heart was, it too had a flaw…a tiny hole…but I had angels, angels of love. They fixed me right up!
I am so thankful.
I thought all of that was wonderful but I guess that first angel must've told a whole bunch of angels because one day I recall I was being greeted by all kinds of smiling faces, lots of oohs and ah's. AND, on top of that, above me was this big blue sky and the most amazing mountains that surely were hand painted by these angels. I only knew that this place was good.
I was so thankful.
One day I was just minding my own business and then I was told it was "picture day". What is this? the "pup-arazzi"? Photographs being taken of me left and right and this dude encouraging me to show my "cute side" Oh please! - LIKE, THERE IS A SIDE THAT ISN'T CUTE? "smile for the camera?" - no problem! Duh... have you seen my face??
"Meet Rhubarb"! My face was plastered on the Best Friends Website and I had real honest to goodness fans! No really! People writing to me, wishing me, even willing me to stay strong and to get well. RHU-HOO!
I was so thankful!
Okay, so, chew on this one... Besides the whole group of angels that every single day cared for me, loved me, treated me like this absolute treasure…and I know you "girls" KNOW who you are; a whole BUNCH of Guardian Angels were also watching. They sent me prayers to get strong and to be all well 'n stuff... AND, bought me some GREAT TOYS!!
I was so thankful!
To Eddie, the magical cart maker- here's a little Rhu-rhyme just for you:
There once was a guy they called Eddie, who thought I deserved a great start
When guardian angels did call him, he made Rhubarb his very own cart!
All over the grounds did Rhu travel, with crowds cheering, "Go for it, Rhu!
Now, Rhubarb now stood tall like dog "Tarlton" And Tarlton barked back, YO, DUDE!
Eddie you rock! And I am sooo thankful.
I found out there was one guardian angel; she never gave up; she talked to me when I dreamed. She always believed; She knew I would be in a forever home with her and it didn't matter how I came packaged or how long I would be with her..
I was so THANKFUL
Finally, I was to meet her, but then I got real sick… And while some thought hope had come to an end, my "girls" gathered round me and asked for some time...Give him just a few days more…
I was so THANKFUL .
Amongst all that chaos, those feelings of despair, I swear I heard voices, "hang on, Rhu Soon, we'll be there".
That day.... October 11, 2011
I came home with Shelly and Edo my new FOREVER home
Love conquers all..along with some Guardian Angels on the side
Rhubarb, Shelly & Edo

Tea & Me
Below, Conor beats me to that NYT piece on the tea partiers. My take is a bit different. When it comes to reforming the right, a phrase I use advisedly, Conor and I are allied — as has been clear enough for at least a year — in some important respects. In others, however, there are important divergences. The latest reflection on the demise of Culture11 (yes, these are still being written) is worth a read, but I must disavow impressions like the following:
Culture 11 writers like Conor Friedersdorf and James Poulos are are in bad odor with most who consider themselves "real" conservatives, largely because they sometimes speak well of liberals and take a decidedly less ideological approach to their writings.
I hope I'm not in bad odor with self-identified real conservatives for a number of reasons, but at the top of the list is my own self-identification as — well, let's say a 'mere conservative'. I suppose any confusion on this count is my own doing. During and immediately after the Culture11 years (2008-2009), my 'project', such as it was, involved what now strikes me as a far too academic move to peck tactically at the edges of certain debates while taking up strategically, for purposes of criticism, a position too readily mistaken for a view from nowhere. Even on its own terms, I can't say that approach worked. But trying to match my dispositions, commitments, and convictions — to speak the language I tried to work with back then — to events on the ground in such a way as to 'declare for' one team or another seemed like an exercise in pundit theater. Often, in DC, if you want to make it as a pundit the first thing you must do (and sometimes the only thing) is pick, defend, and advocate for a team with the enthusiasm, if not the sophistication, of a well-paid lawyer. I hoped my unwillingness to sign up for an ism — neocon, paleo, libertarian, whatever — would be made good by the sweeping changes of '09: the election of Obama, the defeat of the Clintons and Clintonism, the waning of the Iraq War, and, of course, the Econopocalypse. I bet that those things would make it possible again to speak intelligibly and successfully as an undifferentiated or otherwise unclassifiable conservative.
In the best post-mortem on Culture11, I was described as "far too idiosyncratic in [my] own politics" to get wrapped up in the "self-immolating Hindenburg of movement conservatism." Since it's movement conservatism itself that has started to change that formulation — courtesy, in no small part, of the tea partiers, I'm obliged, I think, to return the favor and step out from behind the mannered meta-critiques of yesteryear. This is a good place to start.
The nut of Conor's post is this:
Should Tea Party activists rise in the party from the bottom up, they'll begin from the mistaken premise that the GOP is in a mess because it elects closet liberals. As I've noted before, this is incorrect: though Tea Party attendees may imagine that the folks who sold them out during the Bush Administration were insufficiently conservative in their ideology, the fact of the matter is that folks like Karl Rove and Tom Delay were calling the shots and doing the most harm. I've heard those men called corrupt, but I've never heard them called RINOs.
I don't think the premise that the GOP is in trouble because it has too many RINOS is mistaken at all. (And let's be clear: Republican liberals are out of the closet.) The trouble arises when conservatives conclude wishfully that the only problem the GOP faces is its liberals, and that, therefore, the GOP's only, and final, solution is the elimination of its liberals. Occasionally, successful, established movement conservatives will talk this way. It's easy for them, because they're competing with successful, established liberal Republicans for control of the party apparatus. Following their lead, movement conservatives who aren't quite as establishment, but whose constituencies have long been established pillars of the Republican grassroots, sometimes do the same.
But if there's any group that's least in danger of falling prey to the trap Conor identifies — aside from RINOs themselves, and would-be neutral referees of intraparty politics — it's tea partiers. It's precisely because putatively conservative Republicans have failed so spectacularly to deliver conservative governance that the tea partiers have moved to separate their identity and their organization from those of the GOP.
Yes, tea partiers have little praise for the Olympia Snowes of the world, but tea partiers recognize above all that the legacy of the Bush years would have been no better, and the GOP of today no better equipped to break free from it in the way necessary to defeat Obama, had the Olympia Snowes of the world been run out on their respective rails. If Republican liberals are irrelevant to the root problem, more Republican liberals would bring, at worst, greater irrelevance. They are not a poison but a distraction — one might almost say a red herring. From the tea party perspective, the idea that 'more RINOs' are the solution to a breakdown of conservatism in the congressional and party leadership is merely a symptom of the problem, not the problem itself.
The problem, as my fellow erstwhile Culture11er Ericka Andersen recently tweeted, is less that Americans stopped liking "what the GOP is supposed to deliver" than that "they stopped liking what the GOP actually delivered." Supposedly, this tension reflects a war over "the heart and soul of the Republican party," one centered on deep disagreements over exactly what the GOP is supposed to deliver. Indeed, small-c conservative Americans, regardless of party, have resisted the Republican slide into establishmentarian corporatism since, in our time, the rise and fall of Ross Perot.
The forceful way in which the tea partiers are putting this conservative resistance at the center of our political debate today should remind us of what went wrong for Republicans during the two Bush presidencies. The Bush presidents, different in so many ways, both turned the GOP toward corporatism in a way that significantly limited their success as candidates and presidents. (Reagan had neither problem. This is the root of Reagan nostalgia.) The lesson is a simple one: first and foremost, the Republican party is supposed to deliver not economic nor cultural but political goods.
The tea partiers, in insisting that economic policy derives from and reflects political principles, and not the other way around, help make this clear. Take taxes. When taxes are too many and too high, the economy suffers. But, as this decade has brutally taught us, taxes do not necessarily enrich the state, but they always aggrandize it. The evil of taxes is not primarily economic but political. When a government learns how to use taxes to coerce, control, and manage the behavior of its citizens, a country is placed on a perilous road — not to serfdom, necessarily, but to tyranny, a tyranny that lords over even the rich and famous, even when they happen to profit from its favor. The GOP is supposed to keep this kind of tyranny at bay, and when it comes near, the GOP is supposed to ward it off.
It's in this regard that, over the past ten years, the GOP has failed. The trouble with RINOs is that, in their liberalism, they are often either blind to the threat of tyranny or they do not really see it as a problem. This is not because they 'fail to understand the nature' of tyranny. Tyrannical regimes can rule over dynamic, exciting societies, over huge numbers of people full of promise and purpose. They can focus resources on big challenges and execute amazing feats of efficiency and publicity. Just ask the growing number of American commentators suffering from China envy.
Moreover, liberals of any party seeking primarily to foster or facilitate cultural change typically have little desire to focus their attention, much less their careers, on preventing the government from aggrandizing itself. A government that routinely manages economic behavior through its economic policy is well able to routinely manage social and personal behavior that way. In theory, there's no reason why lots of Republicans can't be 'socially liberal but fiscally conservative.' In practice, social liberals, of any party, have a vested interest in a government that rules not only by law but by economics.
In fact, tea partiers help everyone understand that 'fiscal conservatism' is a misleading phrase. A 'fiscal conservative' is for balanced budgets and well-calibrated taxes and against wasteful spending. A tyrannical government, if it has any brains, is for solvency and efficiency too. 'Fiscal conservatism' can license the aggrandizement and abuse of government power. It might be necessary to economic conservatism, but it isn't sufficient. Alone, it isn't conservatism at all, and under the right conditions, 'fiscal conservatism' can actually destroy its namesake.
Which brings us to Tom "no more pork to cut" DeLay and Bush's Brain himself. That these men are not liberal Republicans does not mean they failed completely as conservatives, which they did. No amount of cultural signaling can make up for the level of federal aggrandizement DeLay and Rove supervised. DeLay and Rove leveraged conservatives' salutary obsession with taxes into an abusive relationship: ride along on the road to tyranny, and there's another tax cut in it for you! Those cuts were real, and sometimes even significant. But tax policy is ultimately a means to an end, and the end DeLay and Rove pursued made a mockery of the means.
Who, if not the tea partiers, is out front today with this message? I see very little danger that the tea partiers will scrap their substantive politics in favor of the fluff symbolism of witch hunt theater. Unless, that is, they are suckered by Sarah Palin — a temptress indeed. But that is a story for another time.

How To Stay Out Of The Hospital With Acid Reflux
The pain of acid reflux can be intense. Don't just suffer through it; instead seek advice to conquer it. For more insights and ideas, read on.
Acid reflux is often aggravated by certain eating habits. Eating too quickly or too much can directly cause acid reflux. Don't do either of these things! Eating smaller portions can really help with this. You need to learn to eat at a conservative pace. Chew food carefully, and set your fork on the table between bites.
If you have acid reflux, fatty foods are your enemy. These can encourage acid to flow in the wrong direction by sending incorrect messages to the esophageal sphincter. The excess fat will make you gain excess weight, which will cause even more symptoms. Learn to make good nutritional choices.
Put a wedge beneath your mattress to boost your head and keep acid down. If you do not have a wedge, place a block of wood or a few books under your mattress to raise your head. You can also invest in an electric adjustable bed.
Stress is a huge opponent of acid reflux. During stressful times, stomach acid production increases significantly, which leads to reflux. Find a relaxing activity to pass the time after every meal. Effective relaxation techniques include reading, watching television, listening to soothing music or meditating quietly.
Some foods may trigger acid reflux. Common foods that cause reflux are chocolate, caffeinated beverages, and fried foods. Sometimes foods that are acidic, such as citrus fruits or tomatoes, can also make things worse. The triggers are different for everyone, and you need to sort out which ones are yours. Avoidance of all of this list would be your best bet.
Slippery elm, when ingested as a supplement, can help thicken mucous in your stomach and reduce erosion of the stomach lining. This gives your stomach an internal layer of protection from acid. Put a tablespoon or two into water after your meals and right before you go to sleep to maximize its effectiveness.
Exercising after you eat can harm you if you have acid reflux. Too much activity will cause your recently consumed food to move up to your esophagus. Therefore, wait at least an hour before engaging in high-impact exercises.
In some instances, acid reflux attacks can feel like a heart attack. Don't ignore any major pains in your chest. You very well could be having a heart attack. Call your doctor at once to determine the cause. You will feel better knowing a health professional has checked the cause of your chest pains.
If you drop excess pounds, you may find relief from reflux. Obesity is one of the leading causes. By shedding one-tenth of your total body weight, you may see significant reductions in the occurrence of reflux. You can use smaller meals to lose weight, because crash dieting is not the answer.
Go for the and utilize the advice above to get rid of acid reflux for all time. Do not allow acid reflux to consume your life. Instead, put a clamp on that acid reflux right away with these great tips you learned here.…

my plan is to create a map that shows the top 50 (by amount of passengers) international flights departing the United States (e.g. New York -> London, Honolulu -> Tokyo...). I want to use the plugin FlowMapper for QGIS to display those flights and have the width of the flows correspond with the amount of passengers. I have read the tutorial and had a look at the examples given (all in the download file of FlowMapper). The problem is, in those examples FlowMapper is only used for back and forth flows.
Thus, the data matrix in the examples looks like this, each row and column have the same:
But I want to use one way flows, so row and column have different geographical locations, like this:
So my question is, how does the flow matrix- and coordinates-file have to look like in order to be correctly displayed by the FlowMapper plugin?
This is my complete speadsheet that I wanna use as basis for my map: http://www.sendspace.com/file/ckaejd

How Much Have Global Problems Cost the World?
There are often blanket claims that the world is facing more problems than ever, but there is a lack of empirical data to show where things have deteriorated or in fact improved. In this book, some of the world's leading economists discuss ten problems that have blighted human development. You can find Bjorn's TED-talk presenting the main findings, as well as all the research papers on the project website.

"Hi, are you Amelia Waters?" The officer asks.
"I'm Officer Ramon, Officer Brian sent me to ask you a few questions."
"Oh, now he wants to hear what I have to say?"
"Never mind, what do you want to know?" Amelia murmurs.
"For starters, do you have any idea where your mother might've gone?"
"Um, no," Amelia replies. Like I would tell you.
"Don't lie, Amelia, tell him where she is," Leona chimes in.
"Could you not talk to me?" Amelia snaps. She looks at Officer Ramon and says, "Leona is the person you should be arresting. She's the criminal."
"Your mother is the one on the run. So I would like a little cooperation, please. Now does anything come to mind?"
Yes, that you're just like the others. "Sorry, I honestly don't know." Tears run down Amelia's face as she realizes that no matter what she says, her aunt will come out the victor. Leona glares at her furiously, probably wishing she could claw the skin off her body. Amelia takes a deep breath and says, "Is there anything else, Officer Ramon?"
"If you happen to hear from her, I suggest you tell her to turn herself in. I assume you realize she's looking at an attempted murder charge if your father survives."
"Yes, I'm well aware," Amelia mumbles.
"Ma'am," he says to Leona and heads towards the lobby.
Once again, Leona wins. Amelia ponders how she can fix the situation. She figured things would turn out fine somehow, but now everything is a colossal mess. She bites her nails and then nibbles on her bottom lip. Oh mom, I hope you're somewhere safe. She knows her dad wouldn't want her mother to go to jail.
Looking at the three of them sitting there without a care in the world makes Amelia desperately wish she had a bucket of boiling water. Leona gets out of her chair and sits next to her. Amelia jumps up when Leona grabs her arm and slams her back down.
"This is how things are going to go. You will be staying with us from now on, and don't even think about contacting your grandparents or they'll have to deal with me. So if you value your mother and her family, you won't put up a fuss," Leona demands.
"I'm not staying with you! You psycho! Besides, there is no way I'm putting up with you and your evil trolls for any extended period of time. I'd rather wrestle a bear," Amelia barks.
Leona snatches Amelia's chin with her cold hands and warns, "You are fifteen years old and are not legally able to stay on your own."
Amelia grits her teeth and pushes Leona's hands away from her face. "That's right, and I have every right to go and stay with my grandparents." She feels good about standing up to her aunt, but being this close to Leona's demonic presence is making her body shiver. She rubs her arms to rid the goosebumps.

Graduate Student-at-Large: Business (GSALB) students have the opportunity to explore the academic culture of the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, and participate in the rigorous, discipline-based approach to business education that consistently ranks Chicago Booth as the top MBA program in the world.
GSALB can serve as a bridge to take exemplary students from their post-undergraduate studies in any diverse field of study, to, ultimately, either the MBA at the Chicago Booth School of Business or to any other MBA program across the nation, or to graduate or professional fields of study which might be a better professional fit.
application requirements and deadlines
As part of the University of Chicago, the Graham School's Graduate Student-at-Large: Business (GSALB) program mirrors the institution's core values of constantly testing hypotheses and seeking proofs, resulting in the building of intellectual curiosity and academic confidence within its students – and for the academically exemplary GSALB student who has been successfully granted admission into Booth, the opportunity to transfer up to three courses towards the MBA.
GSALB is more than just a master's degree business prep program, as admitted students have the opportunity to deliberately explore the academic culture of the Chicago Booth School of Business, and participate in the rigorous, discipline-based approach to business education that consistently ranks Chicago Booth as the top MBA program in the World.
All GSALB pre-grad business students enroll in graduate business courses at the Chicago Booth School of Business at the University of Chicago where they receive a strong foundation in the language of graduate business education from world-class faculty, and experience the "Chicago Booth" approach towards business theory and its applications. GSALB students also experience the unique intellectual and social culture prevalent at the Chicago Booth School of Business and have the opportunity to build life-long professional friendships with other like-minded students and faculty.
The GSALB Program Director and her team closely work with the Booth School's Registrar and Admissions Team to ensure that each GSALB student has access to appropriate graduate business courses and advising support towards building a strong academic transcript, writing the Statement of Purpose, receiving commendable letters of recommendation from faculty members, and gaining competitive test scores to result in a competitive MBA application to Chicago Booth or to any other graduate or professional program.
Graduate Student-at-Large: Business students make up a diverse group: some students come to the program with strong foundations in the fundamentals of business education, while others come with backgrounds more immersed in the liberal arts, humanities, sciences, engineering, medicine etc, but with the curiosity and dedication to pursue the academic rigors expected of them from faculty and their peers.
Many GSALB students are employed full time and have between 3-10 years of working experience. Students accepted to the GSALB program at the University of Chicago have already completed their bachelor's degrees, and international applicants must meet English language requirements.
Some students stay for only a single quarter; others stay for two or three quarters. Most GSALB students work full-time and take one Booth course per quarter. GSALB students may take Booth courses in the evening or weekend, at our downtown campus, or during the day at the Hyde Park campus.
Some students use GSALB as a pre-graduate business preparation program and continue on to the MBA program at Chicago Booth School of Business, while other students find their success in MBA, Professional or PhD degree programs elsewhere.
International students needing J1 full time students visa may take Booth classes as GSAL students. The GSAL program is able to issue I-20 documents for J1 international student visas for 1, 2, or 3 academic quarters at the University of Chicago. Current international GSAL students taking Booth courses come from Europe, Asia, South America, and Africa. The GSALB Program Director and her team work closely with international students to ensure successful academic program completion and further graduate school application.
The Women in Business Initiative is an important partnership between the GSALB program and the Chicago Booth School of Business that encourages extraordinary women to consider advancing their careers. By initially taking a Booth course through GSALB, participants can ascertain whether the academic and cultural fit is suitable, and if so, eventually obtain an MBA from Chicago Booth School of Business, and join a select group of successful, confident women leaders in business and commerce, government, and non-profit fields who are able to tackle tough business challenges with strategic leadership skills that are hallmarks of the Chicago Booth School of Business.
The GSALB program's dynamic offerings make it advantageous for many different types of students, like working professionals seeking to advance their degrees or non-matriculated students interested in exploring the Chicago Booth School of Business before applying and committing to the program.
"The GSALB program really gave me an opportunity to see what business school would be like. I took two foundational classes—Financial Accounting and Business Statistics—and enjoyed them. A lot of what I learned was new, but a lot also tied in with skills and approaches I'd acquired while working in the lab. I was already starting to see opportunities connecting my lab background with the administrative, private sector side of things."

Scottish Welfare Fund - crisis grants
Crisis grants are made to help you cope with unexpected expenses arising out of an emergency or a disaster. They are paid out of the Scottish Welfare Fund, which is a national scheme delivered by local authorities.
If you have made a crisis grant application, you can track it by getting in touch with the local authority you applied to. Find your local authority on the Scottish Government website.
Crisis grants
Crisis grants provide help for people who need money quickly because of an emergency or disaster. They are discretionary grants which means that you may not get one just because you are eligible for one. The local authority will decide whether to award you a grant based on the level of priority that your application is given and the amount of money that is left in the budget. Crisis grants do not have to be repaid.
Coronavirus – if you need emergency help from the Scottish Welfare Fund
If you need emergency help to pay for essentials like food, gas or electricity due to coronavirus, you could apply for a crisis grant from the Scottish Welfare Fund.
The council will check your eligibility. They are getting more money so that they can pay out more grants from the Scottish Welfare Fund because of coronavirus.
If you've already had three crisis grants in the past year, you might still be able to get another one. The Scottish Government has said that councils should allow this because of coronavirus.
Who can get a crisis grant
You can get a crisis grant if you are aged 16 or over, on a low income and you are unable to get financial help from any other appropriate source. You do not have to be getting a welfare benefit to be eligible. However if you are getting income support, income-based jobseeker's allowance, income-related employment and support allowance, universal credit or pension credit then you will be considered to be on a low income.
You can only usually get a crisis grant from the local authority where you live or where you are about to move to.
You can get a crisis grant if you are subject to a DWP sanction or disallowance which has reduced your benefit. The reason for your sanction should not be taken into account when the local authority is making a decision about your application.
You cannot normally get a crisis grant to help with your living costs if you have an outstanding benefit claim and you are waiting for your first benefit payment or you have had a change of circumstances which will increase your benefit and you are waiting for your first increased payment. In these situations, you can apply to the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) for a short-term advance of benefit or a universal credit advance. If your need is severe, your local authority may make an exception and award you a crisis grant even though you are waiting for the DWP to process a claim.
If you're from the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway or Switzerland
If you're a national of a European Economic Area (EEA) country or Switzerland, your application for a crisis grant should be assessed in the normal way, because EEA and Swiss nationals aren't excluded from applying for assistance by their immigration status. The EEA includes all EU countries plus Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway.
If you're waiting for the result of a habitual residence test or an appeal for benefits is pending, the local authority may still award you a crisis grant.
Who cannot get a crisis grant
You cannot normally get a crisis grant if you:
- have made repeat applications for a grant
- have resources of your own
- are in situation which is not a situation which the grant can be made for.
You cannot get a crisis grant if you have applied for the same items or services in the last 28 days unless your circumstances have changed. You cannot normally get more than three crisis grants within a 12 month period unless you can show that it wasn't your fault that you need another crisis grant.
You cannot get a crisis grant if you have resources of your own which you could use to help you deal with the emergency or disaster. For example, if you have family who can help you out financially, you are unlikely to be able to get a crisis grant.
You cannot get a crisis grant if you are a person subject to immigration control who has no recourse to public funds.
What expenses can a crisis grant be made for
A crisis grant can be made when you have experienced some emergency or disaster and you have unexpected expenses that you cannot meet. The grant must be needed to prevent serious damage or serious risk to your health or safety or to the health or safety of your family. Examples of emergency situations include where your money has been lost or stolen and you have no money for living expenses, where there has been a breakdown of relationships in your family, perhaps involving domestic violence, or you have nowhere to stay and may have to sleep rough. Examples of disasters include a serious flood, fire or gas explosion which leads to serious damage to your property.
Examples of the types of living expenses that you might be able to get a grant for following an emergency, include food, essential heating costs, nappies and toiletries, travel costs and costs for accommodation in a hostel.
Examples of the types of items that might be awarded following a disaster are furniture, household equipment, travel costs, removal expenses, storage charges and connection charges for gas and electricity.
Refugee families and crisis grants
Refugee families are entitled to crisis grants following their arrival in Scotland if they have leave to remain and are experiencing a crisis or disaster of some kind. Also refugees who are already living in Scotland can apply for a family reunion crisis grant before they are reunited with other family members who are about to arrive in Scotland. This is to help newly reunited families cope financially while the newly arrived refugees wait for benefit applications to be processed.
Rent in advance
You cannot get a crisis grant for rent in advance. Rent is one of a number of excluded needs that a crisis grant cannot be paid for. If you need help to pay your rent in advance, you can apply to the DWP for a budgeting loan or to your local authority for a discretionary housing payment. A discretionary housing payment is an extra payment which you can get if you need help with your housing costs.
What expenses are excluded from crisis grants
Some expenses are excluded from crisis grants. For example, you cannot get a crisis grant for any expense outside the United Kingdom, the cost of a school uniform, travelling expenses to and from school, school meals, medical costs, housing costs, holidays, debts or expenses that could be covered by the Best Start Grant or Funeral Support Payment.
- More about help with school costs
- More about help with health costs
- More about Best Start Grants
- More about the Funeral Support Payment
If you are not sure whether you can get a crisis grant, you should consult an experienced adviser, for example, at a Citizens Advice Bureau - where to get advice.
How to apply for a crisis grant
You will need to check how your local authority accepts applications for crisis grants. It may accept applications by post, online, by phone or in a face to face interview. It may accept applications by all of these methods or only one, for example by phone. You can find information about how your local authority accepts applications, as well as contact details for all the local authorities on the Scottish Government website.
If you can apply to your local authority by post or online, you will need to complete your local authority's application form. You may be able to download an application form from the local authority's website or request one over the phone.
Crisis grants are discretionary grants, so it is important to include all the relevant information on the application form and explain what could happen if you do not get a grant. A social worker or someone else who works with you may be able to help in completing your application, or you can seek the help of an experienced adviser, for example, at a Citizens Advice Bureau.
The crisis grant decision
In order to get a crisis grant, you need to be eligible, your situation needs to be one of the situations that a crisis grant can be made for, your application needs to be given a high enough priority and there needs to be enough money left in the local authority budget.
Local authorities assess priority of applications by looking at how much you need the grant, how vulnerable you are and what is likely to happen if you do not get a grant. Examples of factors that might increase your vulnerability are chronic illness, disability, being a lone parent, addictions or misuse of alcohol or drugs.
You may get exactly what you asked for but you also may only get a part of what you have applied for. For crisis grants, you will usually be awarded cash or cash equivalent such as high street vouchers. You can request to get your award in kind if this would suit you better, for example, you would like to get the actual household goods, such as a fridge. If the grant is for furniture or white goods, it should include delivery and installation or fitting costs.
There is no minimum amount that you can get for a crisis grant. You may have applied for a crisis grant to replace certain items following a disaster or to cover living expenses in an emergency. There is no maximum amount that you can get for a crisis grant for items. There is a maximum amount that you can get for a crisis grant for living expenses. It is set at:
- 60% of the income support personal allowance for an adult plus full allowance for each child, all pro rata to take account of the next payment of benefit where appropriate if you are liable for rent or mortgage payments, or you are homeless
- 30% of the income support personal allowance for an adult plus full allowance for each child, pro rata if appropriate, if you are not liable for rent or mortgage payments.
You can track your application by getting in touch with the local authority you applied to. Contact details for all the local authorities in Scotland are on the Scottish Government website.
Decisions about crisis grants should be made no later than the end of the next working day after the local authority has got all the information it needs to make a decision. Your local authority should tell you its decision as quickly as possible and may phone, text or email you to let you know. You should still get an official decision letter to back up the phone, text or email.
Challenging a crisis grant decision
Useful leafletThe Scottish Government has a leaflet about how to challenge a Scottish Welfare Fund decision .
If your application for a crisis grant is refused, or you are given less than you applied for, you can ask the local authority to look again at the decision. You need to make this request within 20 working days of having been told by the local authority about the decision.
If you are still unhappy with the outcome of this review, you can apply to the Scottish Public Services Ombudsman for an independent review. You will usually need to do this within one month of getting the decision from the local authority about your first review. There is more information about independent reviews on the SPSO website.
If you accept the decision that the local authority has made about your application but you are unhappy for some other reason, for example, you think you received poor service, you can complain to the local authority. If you have been through the local authority's complaints procedure and are still unhappy, you can then complain to the SPSO.
If you are thinking of challenging a crisis grant decision, you can get advice from a Citizens Advice Bureau.
Other help
If you can't manage to feed yourself or your family you might be able to get some emergency help from a local foodbank.

As the True Blood ads say, "No one lives forever." But vampire sex soaps – damn, those can be pesky to kill off. True Blood has gotten so soft in the head, it's hard to remember there was ever a halfway-compelling romance in there somewhere. The once-beloved drama keeps getting sillier, throwing Viking panthers and faerie elders and werewolf threesomes into the mix. Having given up any sense of emotional stakes, True Blood has become a drinking game of "What next? Leprechauns blowing a Minotaur?"
Random Notes: Hottest Rock Pictures
Bill Compton was always the vampire stud who held the story together, refusing to bother with facial expressions. His deadly serious poker face gave the hijinks a trace of dignity. Yes, even when he had to bang Salome. (Drink!) But Bill can't help now, and the dumbass social commentary has hijacked the romance. The weak link of True Blood was always the part that aspired to be smart, so maybe they'll just let it turn into a full-blown sex comedy. Maybe they can bring in David Duchovny as that Minotaur? (Drink!)

We really had four parties running for president this time and again we did not have a winner with over half the vote. In fact, Trump got almost two million less votes than Clinton.
Obama decisively defeated McCain and Romney with over 50 percent. Bush II got a half a million less than Gore in a race with Nader getting almost 3 percent. Bill Clinton ran over Bush I and Dole but still didn't get half because of Perot in 1992 and Perot's party in 1996.
The future will probably have more third and fourth parties, so majorities aren't likely again.
I think it's time to do away with the Electoral College and base our electing on popular vote. Furthermore, if a nominee doesn't get over 50 percent, then the two highest vote-getters should run again on the fourth Sunday after the first vote.
By doing that, we might have a president that at least half the voters stood behind. I doubt if half the potential voters would be in the winner's column but that's their stupidity for not voting.
Right now, if you win California, Texas, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Georgia and Florida by one vote each, you don't need any votes in the other 40 states.
The Electoral College was invented because voters were considered too ignorant to know who should be president. Is that still true?

And It Begins...
Having officially passed the halfway mark of the NASCAR season, the fun really begins. Not only do we get closer to the Chase for the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup, but the season affectionately known as "Silly Season" begins.
With Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s announcement that he will be driving for Hendrick Motorsports in 2008, the team becomes even more dominant than before. How will Dale Jr. mix with NASCAR champions Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson?
The announcement also comes with a price - driver Kyle Busch will depart Hendrick for places unknown.
Will Kyle Busch replace Dale Jr. at Dale Earnhardt Inc. or head over to Richard Childress Racing where Jeff Burton has talked about RCR adding a fourth team? Or will he go to Ginn Motorsports or a Toyota team or another team that no one has been talking about - Hall of Fame Racing? Troy Aikman, one of Hall of Fame Racing's owners, has said they would like to add a second team.
Anything is possible with Silly Season. These two announcements are just the beginning of what could prove to be a high movement year for drivers and teams.
Kansas Speedway, the third race in the Chase for the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup, could be one of the final times that fans see Earnhardt, Jr. and Kyle Busch drive for DEI and Hendrick Motorsports, respectively.

WASHINGTON -- The Obama administration is aware of the backlash to a proposed new Medicare Part B demonstration project and says it is willing to adjust its plan.
CMS Open to Changes in Part B Proposal, Official Says
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is open to revising its proposal to change the way physicians are paid for drugs administered under Medicare's Part B program, an agency official said Wednesday.
"The proposal was to remove financial considerations from the prescribing of medicine," CMS chief medical officer Patrick Conway, MD, told reporters at a briefing sponsored by the Alliance for Health Reform, Health Affairs, and the Jayne Koskinas Ted Giovanis Foundation for Health and Policy. "That being said, if the proposal doesn't hit that point and we need to adjust it, we'd be open to that."
The current CMS plan would replace the current Medicare reimbursement -- the average sales price of the drug plus a 6% add-on fee to cover costs -- with a rate of the average sales price (ASP) plus 2.5%, plus a flat fee of $16.80 per drug per day. The flat fee would be adjusted at the beginning of each year. However, some specialists (especially oncologists) objected that this would amount to a hefty pay cut.
Novel Opioid Not Abuse-Deterrent, FDA Panel Says
At a joint FDA advisory committee meeting Thursday, members voted that an immediate-release version of a hydrocodone/acetaminophen combination product could be approved, but it shouldn't get abuse-deterrent labeling.
Panelists voted 16-4 that benzhydrocodone/acetaminophen (6.67 mg/325 mg), or KP201 (Apadaz), proved bioequivalence to similar products on the market, but voted 18-2 that evidence to demonstrate abuse deterrence -- focused mostly on preventing the drug from being snorted -- were lacking.
"I think we would like to see an abuse-deterrent product for immediate release that really has an effect, but we have to remain critical," said panelist Tobias Gerhard, PhD, of Rutgers University. "We haven't seen the evidence that this product makes a difference compared to available immediate-release products."
CMS Panel Offers Plan for New Medicare Payment Models
A new advisory panel to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) offered a draft blueprint for evaluating certain alternative payment models under the agency's new reimbursement framework at a Wednesday meeting. The panel also gathered feedback from stakeholders on its proposed process.
CMS staff joined the Physician-Focused Payment Model Technical Advisory Committee (P-TAC) meeting, presenting a proposed rule for its new reimbursement framework, released last week, including draft criteria for new alternative payment models.
A physician-focused payment model, or PFPM, is defined by last year's MACRA legislation as an "alternative payment model (APM) wherein Medicare is a payer, which includes physician group practices or individual physicians as APM entities," and its primary focus is improving the cost and quality of physician services.
FDA Regulates E-Cigarettes, Hookahs
The FDA released its long-awaited final "deeming" regulations on noncigarette tobacco products Thursday, giving the agency authority over e-cigarettes, cigars, little cigars, pipe tobacco, hookah pipes, and other tobacco products.
The action will subject all manufacturers, importers and/or retailers of e-cigarettes and the other newly regulated products to the same regulatory restrictions as traditional cigarettes, and bar sales of these products to minors.
Moreover, starting in 90 days, photo IDs will be required to purchase e-cigarettes, hookahs, and the other products, and sale of the products in vending machines and distribution of free samples will be prohibited. Advertising and marketing of the products will be greatly restricted as well.
ABIM Announces New Certification Exam Option
Internists will have a new option for board certification starting in 2018, the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) announced Thursday.
"In an effort to provide options and alternatives to the once-every-10-year exam, beginning in January of 2018, ABIM will offer two assessment options," Richard Baron, MD, president and CEO of ABIM, said here at the annual meeting of the American College of Physicians. "One will continue to be the long-form assessment taken every 10 years ... but the new track is a more frequent assessment, with fewer questions, completed outside a testing center."
The frequency of the shorter exam will be more often than every 10 years but no more than annually, according to an ABIM press release. As to the exact interval, that is something "we need to be discussing with all of you about what feels right," Baron told the audience. ABIM will also be using some version of remote proctoring, "which is another term for the ability to verify that the person doing the assessment is the person we think it is, and the resources they're accessing are the same resources anybody taking it is accessing," he added.

SoCal Logistics Project Kicks Off Goodman's $1.4B Development Pipeline
- By
- Jun 05, 2014
Through its wholly owned North American subsidiary, Australian industrial property powerhouse the Goodman Group has launched a $1.4 billion, 15 million-square-foot U.S. development pipeline by breaking ground on a $150 million logistics center in Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., Goodman announced Wednesday.
The project, Goodman Logistics Center Rancho Cucamonga, will consist of two cross-dock facilities, of 555,664 and 1.034 million square feet, on a 75-acre site. The two buildings are scheduled for completion in March 2015 and May 2015, respectively. Both will feature 36-foot clear heights and truck court depths of a minimum 185 feet.
The development is less than one mile from the 15 freeway, less than two miles from the 10 freeway and seven miles from Ontario International Airport.
Goodman's U.S. subsidiary, Goodman Birtcher, acquired the property in 2012. The land was sourced through Lee & Associates Ontario, which will also serve as the center's listing brokers.
When it's completed, the logistics project will be the largest available in the Inland Empire West, Goodman Birtcher CEO Brandon Birtcher told Commercial Property Executive. The three likeliest sectors to generate one or more occupants for the project are e-commerce, consumer products or 3PL, he said.
The Rancho Cucamonga groundbreaking follows the recent completion of Goodman Logistics Center Oakland, a $45 million facility that was Goodman Birtcher's first development project. A letter of intent reportedly has been signed for a portion of the space there.
As of now, the rest of the Goodman Birtcher development pipeline is based on the company's sizable land bank in Southern California, comprising 269 acres of developable land across a number of sites that currently are at different stages of planning approval.
Potential projects include:
• Goodman Logistics Center Fontana: a 30-acre site for a 639,000-square-foot logistics facility.
• Goodman Commerce Center Eastvale: a 181-acre site adjacent to the 15 freeway and with the potential for up to 3.7 million square feet of mixed uses, including retail, medical, hospitality, office, business park and light industrial.
• Goodman Logistics Center Santa Fe Springs: a master-planned 53-acre site with the potential for 1.2 million square feet of warehouse/distribution space across three buildings.
• Goodman Logistics Center Compton: a 5-acre site for an approximately 102,000-square-foot logistics facility.
Although these, like the Rancho Cucamonga project, are all speculative at this point, Birtcher prefers to call them "inventory buildings," because he expects that current market conditions will lead to lease deals during the development processes.
The five SoCal developments reportedly will total about $775 million in completion value.
Goodman Birtcher was formed in June 2012 by Goodman's purchase of Birtcher Development & Investments, a family-run West Coast firm founded in 1939.
When Goodman Birtcher came into being, Brandon Birtcher told CPE, it was provided with $890 million in equity capital, 55 percent of it directly from Goodman and the rest from Goodman partner the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board. That investment, he said, led to the end value of $1.4 billion that Goodman Birtcher is working toward deploying.

We are delighted to offer this Villa Amancaya in Anse des Cayes with hotel-type services, including VIP greeting, access to a private beach ten minutes away, and priority reservations in the restaurants.
This was our second villa rental and experience with Travel Keys. We found Amancaya to be a very pretty home in a great location. The views of the ocean were mesmerizing. The vegetation and gardens around the home beautiful. Great pool and outside areas. All arrangements were taken care of by our concierge and our arrival was smooth. Travel Keys even arranged to have our fridge pre-stocked for our arrival so when we arrived we could just relax (they had wine delivered as well).

QC Lab: How strong is the Spinner Leash?Wednesday, September 7, 2016
I don't usually write-up BD product specific tests and results, but I've just been getting so many of a similar type question on the Spinner Leash lately, that I felt I needed to. And to be honest, these questions are kinda freaking me out.
"I just bought the Spinner Leash, How strong is it?"
"Is the Spinner Leash strong enough for it to hold me if I get too
"Will the Spinner Leash hold a fall if I whip onto it?"
"I want to make my own ice climbing tether system, how strong do I need to
make it?"
"Is the BD Spinner Leash stronger than the Grivel Double Spring Leash?"
Why do these sort of questions freak me out? Because it shouldn't matter how strong these things are. Sure they're rated to 2kN—like most tethers—and you can hang on them if you wanted or needed to, but you must remember that the leash is only as good as the
placement of the ice tool it's attached to. Think of bounce testing a Pecker with a daisy chain. If the Pecker blows, you have it zinging towards you—same as if you decide to weight your tools via your Spinner Leash, except the tool is further out of your reach and has way more mass, and now it has the potential to slingshot towards your head. Ouch.
Ultimately the real purpose of these leashes is to stop your tool from falling into oblivion should you drop it on a long ice or alpine route. They're not really designed as something that you should sit on if you get too pumped mid-pitch (they are too long, and then you will have to climb back up to the tools), and they're definitely not intended as a "just in case"
if you were to whip, or used as a personal anchor system at a belay. I could compare this potential misunderstanding of usage of a Spinner Leash similar to the common misunderstanding and mis-uses of a daisy chain. I've seen folks using daisy chains incorrectly when aid climbing (e.g., you should never use a daisy chain such that there is even a possibility of taking a fall directly ONTO it). And I've seen tons of folks at the cliffs
using daisy chains as personal anchor systems—do you know the pocket strength on most daisy chains is ~ 500 lbs, a load easily generated with a slip, small fall and jolt onto the anchor? Daisy chains aren't designed for that kind of loading scenario—and neither are Spinner Leashes.
Bottom Line
The Spinner Leash and most new-school leash/tethering systems are intended to stop your tool from falling, NOT intended to stop YOU from falling.
I apologize for the soap-box-type speak, but just wanted to spread the word about the tether systems and the fact that you shouldn't be anchoring into anything with them, whipping onto them, and strongly consider the risks of weighting them at all if you are pumped.
Be safe out there.

Event Details
Last minute presentation change
Unfortunately, one of our scheduled presenters, Henry Cho, has fallen ill and will not be able to present on Thursday evening. We hope you all wish him well and a speedy recovery. However, we do have a couple of heroic volunteers, pulling a Lean and luscious presentation together just for you.
Jake Causby (@jakecausby) and Jason Davey (@p1x3lman) are going to get Lean on your UX.
Jake Causby and Jason Davey - How to Lean
What is Lean UX? No really. I've read some stuff about it and it's great in theory but I'm finding it hard to implement.
In a practical talk about how to apply the methodology, Jason Davey and jake Causby will show you the tools and give you the inside story on how they're using Lean UX in Westpac to kick goals. How do they test? How do they learn? How do they get the rest of the business to buy into their approach?

Technically Speaking
Monthly Analysis: Grain Markets
Corn (Cash): The DTN National Corn Index (NCI.X, national average cash price) closed at $3.09 3/4, up 6 1/2 cents for the month. The NCI.X posted a bullish outside month during November, indicating the market could start to build bullish momentum. For now, the major (long-term) trend remains down given the series of lower highs (July 2015, June 2016, and July 2017) and lower lows (October 2014 and August 2016). The 4-month high could be out of reach for December up at $3.32.
Corn (Futures): The December contract closed at $3.55 3/4, up 10 cents on the monthly chart. While the market's major (long-term) trend remains down, corn futures posted a bullish outside month during November. Much of this was due to the roll from December futures to March as the more active contract at a carry of approximately 14 cents, registering on the market's monthly chart. Still, a similar pattern was posted by the NCI.X (see above) indicating corn could start to build bullish momentum.
Soybeans (Cash): The DTN National Soybean Index (NSI.X, national average cash price) closed at $9.12 3/4, up 17 1/4 cents for the month. The NSI.X looks to be nearing a bullish breakout on its long-term monthly chart, closing November at trendline resistance of $9.12 3/4. The NSI.X is also within striking distance of posting a 4-month high above $9.22 3/4 (October 2017). Monthly stochastics remain bullish with the previous major (long-term) signal a crossover below the oversold level of 20% from March 2016.
Soybeans (Futures): The January contract closed at $9.85 3/4, up 1 cent on the monthly chart. While soybean futures remain in a major (long-term) consolidation pattern between converging trendlines, the January contract is nearing a bullish breakout. Trendline resistance during December is pegged at $9.94 1/2, less than 10 cents above the November close. Also, the 4-month high is now the November high of $10.08 1/4. Monthly stochastics remain bullish, indicating the market could start to build momentum. However, the carry in the nearby futures spread continues to strengthen reflecting a more bearish view of supply and demand.
HRW Wheat (Cash): The DTN National HRW Wheat Index (HW.X, national average cash price) closed at $3.64, up 15 cents for the month. The HW.X remains in a major (long-term) uptrend, though needing a new 4-month high monthly close to build momentum again. This mark remains the September 2017 close of $3.66 1/4. The HW.X has been consolidating since August 2017 after falling from its spike high monthly close of $4.55 at the end of June 2017.
HRW Wheat (Futures): The March Kansas City (HRW) contract closed at $4.31 1/2, up 15 cents for the month. Like most of the grains, it is difficult to get a good read on Kansas City wheat's long-term monthly chart heading into December. Yes, the market showed a gain of 15 cents for the month but the December-to-March futures spread closed at a carry of 17 cents. Theoretically then, it could be argued futures actually closed lower. Futures could follow the lead of cash, where a major (long-term) uptrend remains in place.

I watched Snow White and the Huntsman the day it came out because I am a huge winner.
This post is a long time coming, and probably has been in the making since Super Junior first started promoting in China.
Hallyuism at this stage in the game is all about the money. Korea is a place where trends catch on in a millisecond, and people have caught onto the fact that K-pop can make money, and a lot of money at that. So I get it: it's a cultural product worthy of pride, and it's an important national export.
The thing that drives me nuts is the extent to which the people exporting their pop and their business in pop have so little consideration for the cultures and countries that they want to export to. I'm not going to call the kettle black, because I understand that I, as an American, come from a country that is notorious for disregarding the cultures and sensibilities of other countries when it comes to forcing our media and culture onto others.
But I obviously have a horse in this particular race, which is why I feel the need to call K-pop out on this. I work and deal with K-pop, and as a non-Korean observer of K-pop, seeing things happen in K-pop that affect me on some level trigger certain reflexes and emotions. At a moment when K-pop is being so highly self-lauded and whose output is being so aggressively marketed outside of Korea, it disgusts me that it will on the one hand pay so much lip service to the markets and countries it's trying to pursue, and then on the other hand exploit the shit out of it while maintaining fake deference.
And this rant will be primarily about inklings of things I hated when I watched Super Junior M promote, and now stirring me once again with Exo.
I thought in jest about writing a series called "Questionable K-Drama Male Behavior towards Females," but I think I'm actually going to do it, and episode 13 of Spy Myung-wol is a good place to start.
Spoilers for the latest episodes, so read with discretion.
These couple of episodes have been interesting because it gives me new things to think about. I'm not really clocked into what's happening in the overarching political storyline, nor am I really invested in the romance between Seon-joon and Yoon-hee, but I think the side characters are shaping up to be more interesting than I thought they'd be.
First is the relationship between Yong-ha and Jae-shin, and then second is the relationship between Cho-sun and Yoon-hee. (The girl who plays Cho-sun was also in Bad Guy as the girl who jumped to her death, which I completely did not even realize until a second ago.)
Lots of gender/sexuality ramble after the jump. Yay!

Bettina Pousttchi discusses her Intersections exhibition Double Monuments.
Berlin-based artist Bettina Pousttchi explores the history and memory of architecture. In her series Double Monument for Flavin and Tatlin (2010–2014), Pousttchi incorporates crowd barriers into sculptural forms with spiraling vertical towers. These "double monuments" reference the work of Russian constructivist sculptor-architect Vladimir Tatlin from the 1920s and American minimalist artist Dan Flavin from the 1960s, created in homage to Tatlin. Five Double Monument sculptures are on view, dramatically illuminating the space. The sculptures are paired with a sculpture by Naum Gabo and photographs from the 1930s and 1940s, black-and-white images that underline the theme of illuminated space presented in Pousttchi's work.
