Despite graduating the night before, Kate Ward '16 came back to CJ on Tuesday, May 24 to sign her letter of intent to play lacrosse at Transylvania University.
"I really liked the campus when I went to visit," Ward explained. "When I stayed the night, I got to meet with the team and the coaches. Their sense of community was similar to CJ."
Ward, who lettered all four years in lacrosse, also earned Academic All-Ohio honors in 2014 and 2015 (2016 honors will be released later this summer) and was named a Scholar Athlete at the recent CJ Honor Awards.
"Kate's strong work ethic was not restricted only to her academic studies, but also to lacrosse," said Women's Head Lacrosse Coach Danielle Cash. "She has been, and continues to be, one of my most dedicated and aggressive players."
Ward said she is still undecided about what she will study at Transylvania University, but she is looking forward to playing on the same team again as her sister, Julie '14, who signed to play lacrosse at Transylvania University in April 2014.
"It will be exciting to play with her there," Ward shared.
Coach Cash added, "We will miss you Kate, but we know you will succeed in all that you do at Transy, both on and off the field."

I posted a few weeks ago about Randy and Oksana coming to get married at the Addison. It is done. They arrived Sunday with their son Jules (pronounced Yulee, just like the local town), got married in our courtyard on Monday and now, Thursday, they check out of the Addison and head to Disney World for a couple of days.
The wedding service was nice and easy. They picked up their license at the courthouse just two blocks away and I read the service in our courtyard. Jules managed the photography with a certain flair, scampering about the courtyard like a monkey, taking photos from every angle.
They had a great few days here. Jules got to drive the Amelia River Cruise boat under the supervision of Captain Pajama Dave. They went on the Segway tour of Kingsley Plantation yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed that. The fall weather has been so nice they even managed to get some beach time.
Jules just loves Maggie Doone and really wants to get a dog of his own. The attached photo is of the new family sitting at the Green Turtle with Jules sitting next to Maggie Doone. This isn't a great photo what with the back of Maggie's head and the blurry edges but don't they all look happy?

Puerto Vallarta fishing charters in July 2019. Before I get started with the July fishing report here in Puerto Vallarta I want to address the question of the weather. I get hundreds and hundreds of calls each month asking about what the weather is going to be in the summer months here in Puerto Vallarta. We are in rainy season during June to October so yes it's going to rain. Here in the tropics we normally experience rains late afternoon or early evening and during the days the skies are sunny for fishing. Along with getting the boats ready for our charters in the morning we are also constantly watching the weather conditions in Puerto Vallarta Mexico. We've been in business here for over 35 years and have never had an accident or any weather related problems. We appreciate everyone calling and your calls are welcomed. I just want you know we'll be keeping an eye on the weather for you for the summer months for any boating activities you might be doing here while on vacation in one of the most beautiful spots in the world.
Offshore Fishing
July fishing I started off hot here in Puerto Vallarta. Offshore action is smoking hot. We're seeing some nice Marlin along with some big cow tuna. Summertime is when the bigger Dorado start showing up offshore. You remember from one of our last report we're starting to see the trash lines that are created by the light rains we have in the evenings. We can work these lines with live bait catching Dorado and often along with the sailfish that feed on this trash line where two different water temperatures coming together and then blue and off colored Blue Water.
Inshore Fishing
The Bay fishing here in Puerto Vallarta has been really fantistic for the month of July. Starting to see all kinds of small game feeding on those sardines that have been showing up with this warm weather and warm water. There's been some of the roosterfish over on the Southside. I put this in our last fishing report for June that we would be seeing them. The conditions here in July or the inshore fishing have gotten better. We are already starting to see a lots of families wanting to fish and this is perfect for the Bay. We've also had a couple of good days fishing for bottom fishing for snapper and other good eating bottom fish. We've seen a few amberjack on the inshore and offshore trips those are always good eating and super fun to catch. The weather conditions remain the same winds and seas have been pretty much flat. In the afternoon we have been seen a little more wind but with flat seas. Water temperature here in Puerto Vallarta fishing still holding right around 80° which is perfect for the pelagic fish fat we love catching here in Mexico.
So if you're looking for some fun, fishing ,snorkeling are just cruising the bay give us a call on our toll-free number 800 430 6048 or shoot us an email firstname.lastname@example.com. We'll get you out and your family for a fun day.

Q: I will begin with this question, what you do NOT want to talk about today?
A: I do not want to waste time on things that most people know and agree with, such as "Last Touch Attribution is flawed"
Q: Why is attribution model such a difficult challenge, that after many years we still seem to just begin scratching the surface of it?
A: No idea.
Q: Let me try a different way, why is it so hard to build an attribution model?
A: It is not. It is NOT difficult to build an attribution model – in fact, you can build 5 of them in less than a min: Last Touch, First Touch etc… J It is difficult to build good attribution modeling – a process that produce methodologically sound attribution model.
Q: "Attribution modeling" – is this the kind of tool already available through Google Analytics.
A: No. Those are attribution model specification tools – "you specify the kind of attribution models to your heart's content and I do reporting using them". They do not tell you what IS the RIGHT attribution model. An attribution reporting tool does not make an attribution modeling tool.
Q: "Methodologically sound" – that seems to be at the heart of all attribution debates these days. Do you think we will ever reach a consensus on this?
A: Without a consensus on this, how can anyone sell an attribution product or service?
Q: On the other hand, isn't "algorithmic attribution" already a consensus, that everyone can build on it?
A: What is that thing?
Q: All vendors seem to take the "algorithmic attribution" approach, possibly adding additional phrases, such as "statistical models" and data-driven etc. Isn't that sufficient?
A: How? They never show how it works.
Q: Do you really need to get into that level of detail, the "Black Box" – the proprietary algorithm that people legitimately do not release to the public?
A: There is no reason to believe that anyone has a "proprietary algorithm" for attribution. Unlike predictive modeling, a domain of technology that can be "externally" evaluated without going inside the Black Box, attribution modeling is like math, a methodology whose validity needs to be internally justified. A Black Box for attribution sounds like an oxymoron for me. You do not see people claim that they have a "proprietary proof" of Fermat's Last Theorem. (Ironically, Fermat himself claimed the proof on the margin of a book without actually showing it, but everyone knows he never intended it to be like that).
Q: Why then do people claim to have but do not show their algorithmic and/or modeling approach?
A: It is anyone's guess. I see no reason for that; it hurts themselves and it hurts the advertising industry, particularly online advertising industry. I suggest, from today, every vendor should either stop claiming that they have proprietary attribution modeling/model or get out of the "Black Box" (the new empire's cloth?) and prove the legitimacy of their claim.
Q: Ok, suppose I say, I build a regression model to quantify which channels impact conversion and by how much, then calculate the proportional weights based on that and partition the credits according to the proportions. What would you say?
A: How?
Q: You are not serious, right? I am giving you so much details – how much more do you want?
A: The program and process sounds like it will work, and it is quite CLEAR that it is going to work to non-practitioners' eyes. But you know and I know that it does NOT work. Having built conversion models does not solve the attribution problem. Attribution problem comes down to the partitioning of credit, i.e. how much of the conversion credit to be partitioned and how much given to each channels. The logic has to be explicitly presented and justified. The core challenge has been glossed over and covered up, but not solved.
Q: Please simply it for me.
A: There is no automatic translation available from conversion models to attribution models – the process of doing that, which is attribution modeling has to be explicitly stated.
Q: You defined attribution problem as partitioning credit to channels – are you talking about only Cross-Channel Attribution? If I want to focus only on Digital Attribution, or even Publisher Attribution only, is what you said still relevant?
A: Yes. I am talking about it from data analytics angle – you can just replace the word "channel" with others and the rest will apply.
Q: Ok, what if the conversion model I use is not regression, but some kind of Bayesian models?
A: It does not matter. It can be Bayesian, Neural Net or a Hidden Markov Model. As long as it is a conversion model. The automatic translation is not there.
Q: Does it matter if the conversion model is predictive or descriptive?
A: It should be a conversion model – there are multiple meanings of "predictive model"; it is essentially predictive models, but need not handle "information leaking" type of issues as a predictive model should.
Q: Does it need to be "causal" model, and not a "correlational" model?
A: Define causal for me. Specifically, do people know what they mean by "correlational" model? Do they know multivariate models and dependence concepts?
Q: I assume we know. Causal vs. correlational are just common sense concepts to help us make the discussion around "model" more precise …
A: But neither are more precise concepts than statistical modeling language. Even philosophers themselves begin to use statistical modeling language to clarifying their "causal" framework …
Q: Now I am confused. Where are we right now?
A: We are discussing statistical models and attribution modeling …
Q: Ok, should we use statistical models when we do attribution?
A: We have to. Quantifying the impact of certain actions on conversion should be the foundation for any valid attribution process; there are no more precise ways to do that than developing solid statistical models for conversion behavior!
Q: Not even experimental design?
A: Not even that.
Q: But what is the right statistical model? Some types of regression models or some Bayesian models or Markovian models?
A: It does not have to be any one of them, and yet, any one of them may do the job.
Q: If that is true, how can one justify the objectivity of the model?
A: A conversion model provides the basis for what reality looks like – to our best knowledge at the moment. There can be different types of statistical methodologies to model the conversion behavior, and that does not create problems with the objectivity of the model output. We have seen this in marketing response models, where the modelers have the freedom to choose whatever methodology (type of models) they deem appropriate and yet it does not compromise the objectivity of its results.
Q: But attribution is different; when building marketing response models, what is important is the score, not the coefficients or any "form factors" of the model. In attribution, those form factors are central, and not scores, to derive the attribution formula.
A: That's exactly the problem that needs to be corrected. Attribution formula should NOT be built on the "form factors" of the conversion model, but rather on the scores of the conversion models!
Q: Explain more …
A: If you can't claim that linear regression model IS the only right model for conversion behavior, you can't claim those regression coefficients, the "form factors" of the regression models, are intrinsic to the conversion behavior. Thus, any attribution formula built on top of that cannot be justified.
Q: And the conclusion, in simpler language …
A: Conversion model is needed for attribution, but attribution model is not the conversion model. Attribution model should be built on top of the "essence" part of the conversion models, i.e. the scores, and not the form factors. Attribution modeling is the process of translating conversion modeling results to attribution model.
Q: What is that saying about the offering from current vendors?
A: They often tell us that they build conversion models, but reveals nothing about their attribution modeling methodology.
Q: What if they say that, they are hiding their proprietary attribution technology in Black Box? Are they just covering up the fact that they have nothing in there, and they do not know how?
A: Anyone's guess. The bottom line is, anyone claiming anything should acknowledge the right to doubt from their audience.
Q: It is common to see companies hiding their predictive modeling (or recommendation engine technology) in Black Box … why not attribution?
A: Predictive modeling, or even recommendation modeling, are things that can be externally tested and verified. You can put two predictive model scores, and test out which one has more predictive power without knowing how they build the models. Attribution modeling is different; you have to make explicit how and why your way of allocation is justified – otherwise, I have no way of verifying and validating your claim.
Q: We are not in the faith business …
A: Amen.
Q: Ok, big deal. I am an advertiser, what should I do?
A: Demand anyone who is selling you attribution products/services, to show you their attribution stuff. It is ok if they hide the conversion model part of it, but do not compromise on the attribution modeling.
Q: I am in the vendor business, what should I do?
A: Defend yourself – not by working on defensive rhetoric, but by building and presenting your attribution modeling openly.
Q: If I am an agency, what should I do?
A: Attribution should live inside the agency. You can own, or rent it; you should not be fooled by those who like to make you think attribution modeling is a proprietary technology – it is not. Granted that you are not a technology company, but attribution modeling is not a proprietary technology. If you have people who can build conversion model, you are right up there with those "proprietary" attribution vendors.
Q: If attribution modeling becomes an "Open" methodology, what about those attribution vendors? What they will own and why advertisers and agencies wouldn't build themselves?
A: That's my question too J
Q: Are vendors going to be out of business?
A: Well, they can still own the conversion modeling part of it … and there are still predictive modeling shops out there, in business …
Q: Somehow, you sound like you know something about this "open secret" already J Can you share a little on that?
A: Can we talk tomorrow? I need to leave for this "Attribution Revolution" conference tonight …

News in Brief
Ed. Dept. to Evaluate Assistance Centers
In the wake of a broad reorganization of the nation's network of comprehensive technical-assistance centers this fall, the Institute of Education Sciences is putting out a call for researchers to evaluate the effectiveness of the new system going forward.
The IES, the U.S. Department of Education's research agency, is conducting a five-year project to build an ongoing evaluation system for the 26 centers, which provide help to states and districts on education problems specific to geographic regions, as well as specific content areas such as early learning and state capacity building.
The new monitoring system, according to the IES, would be built on the "results-based monitoring and evaluation" system used by the World Bank and the United Nations Development Program. It would provide ongoing peer reviews of both the quality and usefulness of the centers' work.

| 8.3°C Belfast
Last season's Cork Grand National winner Vics Canvas has been given the go-ahead to bolster an already-strong Irish challenge in the Betfred Becher Handicap Chase at Aintree on Saturday.
Trainer Dermot McLoughlin had been slightly concerned about the 12-year-old having to shoulder a considerable burden around the Merseyside circuit, but decided to take the plunge on Wednesday morning.
"We've given it some thought, and he's going to run," said the County Meath handler.
" We worried about his weight, but we want to get some experience over those fences into him."
Vics Canvas is, alongside Pineau De Re, the oldest horse in the possible line-up and was last seen finishing eighth in the 'Fixed Brush' hurdle race at Haydock on November 21.
He is trading at around the 16-1 mark to win the Becher, with compatriots Goonyella, Heathfield and Thunder And Roses also prominent in the ante-post lists.

This blog post marks my renewed promise to begin blogging again when I cook meals that are blog worthy. I forgot how much fun it is to share my laughable attempts to cook a 'good dinner' … and to chronicle that via photography and this here little blog of mine. Do you KNOW how many people search for Julia Child garlic mashed potatoes and end up on my blog … oh, about 10-15 a day. That's 10-15 people who perhaps prior to my blog had never tasted such heaven in their mouths! So… I blog. And, I hope my posts bring laughter, creativity and an urge to try something out of the box!
Tonight my friends, one of my favorite {and simple} recipes: Dijon Mustard Crusted Pork Chops. Now, you can use bone-in or bone-out but my personal favorite are bone-out, thick cut pork chops. Mmm, delish. In my house, you have to disguise pork as something wonderful and amazing or the foodie bf may turn his nose. So, rest assured knowing that this recipe may get a pork-loather into a pork-lover {ha, isn't that clever}
You will need: A box of some kind of "shake n' bake" style crumbs for pork. The ones I used tonight were Kraft brand, 'extra crispy.' A jar/bottle of Dijon mustard. Which, I've used everything from fancy Dijon to the spicy brown stuff to grey poupon. Just use what you have handy. Although, I don't think I'd recommend yellow mustard. That could be disastrous. And of course you need the pork chops!!!
Disregard the directions on the box and follow me … tempting I know … Instead of using egg to make the shake n' bake or 'oven fry' stick to the chops, coat your chops in a very good helping of mustard. Make sure you get all the sides too! Slather it on good and don't be shy. Then, just how you would imagine, plop the chop down in the crumbs and cover it well. Once you've done this with all the chops, lay them on a cookie sheet that you've sprayed with a bit of cooking oil.
So, after this:
And this …
You end up with ….
Bake in the oven at 425 degrees for about 20 minutes. I'm afraid of pink pork {thanks, mom} so I cook mine longer, sometimes too long. But, I'm sure you can judge the 'doneness' of your own pork. Serve with whatever you'd like … tonight I made boiled red potatoes with salt and butter and some peas I found in the pantry because I was too lazy to shuck corn. {Now, that's a mental picture for those of you who know me … shucking corn!} Anyhow… here's my finished product:
And, after dinner … she rested. Enjoy ya'll! {And welcome back to Emerging Domesticity}

Yippie - I've made it downstairs and I'm finally able to concentrate enough to start answering emails and do a little writing. My foot is up and so here goes. Thank you to all for your well wishes and patience with me. Katelyn and Kelcie are here helping in ways that were never part of "the package" - they are working hard to keep up with the orders and messages, as well as helping me with the girls. I'm not certain what I would do without them! Hopefully by the end of the week we will have caught up on all the emails - so if you have sent a message and haven't heard from us please do not hesitate to send another because the first one might have gotten "buried" in our inbox.
Thank goodness I had taken pictures of this project previously so that I could write this tutorial. Now I can just sit here and edit pictures, doing the write-up from my comfy place right here on the couch :D With a laptop I can even lie down - foot propped up on the end of the couch and just type away - LOL!
One of the beauties of the Nestabilities is the option of making shaped cards. You may all remember this card:
Tonight I will take you through how I position the Wizard when I use it, how I cut and emboss the shaped cards and how I create a window in my cards.
Positioning the Wizard
If you watch the Spellbinders video showing how to use the Wizard, you will see immediately the difference in how I place the Wizard as I work. Envision that I am standing at the bottom edge of the picture above. The handle is to my left with the little button located on the top pushed down. If you need to reverse the direction or run your project back and forth through the Wizard you just push the button from the opposite side and it reverses the direction. This button also makes this tool perfect for left-handed crafters! I recommend that if you currently own a Wizard and you have trouble operating it as shown in the video just keep flipping it around until you find that perfect position just for you. Thus making this die cutting machine Universal in more then one way.
Now if I wasn't holding the camera in my right hand you would see that I hold the white mats in my right hand at a slight angle downwards as I insert the plates between the rollers. Using my left hand I run my hand over the rollers moving from left to right - this locks the mats in place.
After the mats are locked in place I put slight pressure on the left end of the machine with a couple of fingers - it's kind of difficult to see my fingers on the far left, but they are there.
The Wizard is different from other die cut machines on the market. Its handle is utilized in a different way. It does not go round and round in a circle, rather it is a "ratchet" type of device that moves between 9:00 o'clock and the 3:00 o'clock position. In my case I move the handle from the left to the right, bringing the handle back up to the 12:00 o'clock position and repeat until the plates are moved through the machine.
Being that the Wizard is all metal it has strength like no other machine on the market. I am told that it literally can have a car driven onto it and it won't crush it.This ratchet type of system allows for great pressure to be exerted on the plates. This pressure can cause the plates to rocket out of the machine when you come to the end if you are not prepared. But you should know that if you have a really tight sandwich in any machine you can rocket your plates out of any machine. I managed to whistle a plate half way across the room with my Big Shot when testing different materials in it as well.
What I do to make certain that my plates do not become projectiles is as I roll the plates through the machine I hold the plates as they come to the end and therefore I don't send them across the room - LOL!
What I have enjoyed the most is that the impressions produced by the Wizard are incredibly clean and crisp, AND I no longer have to deal with broken and warped plates like I did when using the Cuttlebug and Big Shot. That is not to say that you can't get clean and crisp impressions with other machines - the difference is that you just need to know what sandwich is going to work the best for your particular machine or do a little experimenting.
This is the reason for the compatibility sandwiches we have put together. Spellbinders has already done the work figuring out the sandwiches for many machines on the market so that you will not need to figure it out yourself. I would like to remind you to look back at these whenever you have a question about your type of machine.
Making Shaped Cards
With the Wizard you will need the Master Mats, Spacer Plate, tan mat and die of your choice. For cutting your sandwich always utilizes the Master Mat, Spacer Plate, die (face up), notecard (or whatever else you would like to try cutting) and then topped with the other Master Mat. Please see the Compatibility list for your particular machine.
Place your folded notecard on the die as show above, with the scored back lining up along the inside edge of the scallops as shown - be certain to set it to the side of the cutting portion of the die. If you do not want to have any embossing on the edge set it completely clear of the scalloped shapes. Run it through your machine.
If you would like to add embossing to the card then leave the note card in place. Remove the spacer plate and place the tan mat on top following it with the Master Mat and run it through the machine again.
Cutting Windows
To add a window to my card front I determine where it is that I want the window to be. I then measure to determine where on the spacer plate I am going to adhere the die.
Using my ATG adhesive I place a small amount of adhesive on the back side of the die and position it in place on the white spacer plate. This holds the die firmly in place and keeps me from having to make guesses as to where it is.
I then use temporary adhesive to hold my notecard in the exact place I would like it to be. Please note how the scoreline of the note card aligns perfectly with the edge of the spacer plate. This ensures that I don't get an extra "line" in my note card after running it through the Wizard.
My sandwich with the Wizard is always the same for cutting - Master Mat, White Spacer Plate, Die (face up), paper (or felt, tin, fabric, etc.) and then the other Master Mat. The sandwich for embossing is also always the same - Master Mat, Die, paper, Tan Embossing Mat, Master Mat.
These dies allow you to place your window wherever you would like in your card front. There are no limitations as to where it can be placed. It is one of the biggest features that makes me gleeful - LOL!
Cutting Frames
Cut your shape out of a scrap of cardstock being certain to allow enough extra space for a larger die cut to follow.
Position the cut out over the top of your next die shape, centering it over the die so that you can not see it.
Cut - you could also add embossing at this time, but I chose to make this frame without embossing.
WOW - that took a long time - it is now the next night! I'm still in the exact same spot as I was yesterday though - LOL! Hopefully this makes enough sense to help those who would like to make shaped cards, windows and frames, as well as answer the question regarding how I use the Wizard.

(Moved here unchanged from defunct http://www.mindspring.com/~markus.scherer/unicode/base16k.html)
Encoding Length and Sequence Termination
By segmenting the binary data into 14-bit codes, a byte boundary in the binary data corresponds to a code/character boundary every 7 bytes, or every 4 codes/characters. The following table shows how many Han character code points are used in the encoding, with the numbers being multiples of N (a whole number).
|Number of bytes
|Number of characters
Unlike in base64, where the number of characters per binary byte is unique (because the code segments are shorter than bytes), base16k cannot be unambiguously terminated with a character from outside the chosen repertoire. For example, 6 characters could encode either 9 or 10 bytes. It is possible to choose a secondary, distinct repertoire of 64 characters to carry the last up to 6 bits of the last binary byte if the number of bytes is not a multiple of 7. This is an unaesthetic complication.
A more elegant method to terminate the sequence precisely is to precede it with the number of binary bytes, which is anyway desirable to pre-allocate space in the decoder. For base16k, the encoding of the binary data with Han characters shall be preceded by the number of bytes expressed as a decimal number, using ASCII digits U+0030..U+0039 and no punctuation.
Further, to simplify decoding and transport, base16k shall be treated leniently:
- Leading zeroes are allowed for the number of bytes.
- Any non-digit (any character outside U+0030..U+0039) terminates the number of bytes.
- After the number of bytes:
- All characters except U+5000..U+8fff are ignored. This explicitly allows arbitrary spaces and line breaks.
- Only the necessary number of Han characters in the range U+5000..U+8fff indicated by the table above are decoded into binary data.
- Excess bits in the last decoded Han character but beyond the number of bits necessary are ignored.
It is possible to extend the encoding by adding further data fields, for example for a checksum. Such extensions are not essential to the encoding and thus left to higher-level protocols. The leniency of the decoder allows to append such data fields without disturbing the decoder.
Decoding Algorithm
Read Unicode characters or UTF-16 code units in memory order and process as follows. (Surrogates in UTF-16 can be ignored because supplementary code points are ignored.)
- Read the number of bytes.
- Start with an initial number of 0.
- While there is a digit U+0030..U+0039, multiply the number value by 10 and add the digit value.
- There must be at least one digit.
- Any non-digit terminates the number. Proceed with step 2.
- Read the binary data.
- Stop if the number of bytes has reached 0. (It is decremented in one of the following steps.)
- Signal an error if there are no more characters.
- Ignore any characters outside of U+5000..U+8fff.
- For a character in the range U+5000..U+8fff, subtract 0x5000 from the code point value to get a value 0..0x3fff.
- Use the initial bits to complete one byte of binary data, together with remaining bits from the previous character if necessary.
- Decrement the number of bytes. Stop if 0.
- If there are 8 more bits available in the current value, then emit another byte of binary data and decrement the number of bytes.
- Keep the remaining value bits for the next iteration.
- Repeat.
Demobinary in: (pairs of hex digits)
base16k in/out:
code points of the Han characters: (readonly)
binary out:
Base16k with Legacy Codepages
In theory, base16k works with legacy codepages which contain all of the necessary characters. By design, this is true for GBK/windows-936 and GB 18030. Since they also encode Han characters with 2 bytes each, they would achieve the same efficiency of 87.5%. However, due to the variations of conversion tables and the size of such tables and the performance of table-based conversion, the use of base16k with legacy codepages is not advisable.
Andy Heninger helped refine the initial idea for a base4k encoding into the base16k described here. Alan Liu helped with the JavaScript demo.
- 2004-05-28: Added JavaScript demo.
- 2004-05-25: First formal write-up.
- 2004-05-10: Refined to current base16k.

John Cowan replied, proposing base-256 (with U+f000..U+f0ff).

What's this? Another special series? Welcome to Seething Ball of Cack!
This time, because I don't feel like reading more into Louis St. Laurent (fuck you, I'm getting to him), let's grab our shotguns and head on out to the live-well barrel that is the CBC. This is too easy – Canada's newscasters fail at providing full disclosure and management makes totally inappropriate choices for a national broadcaster. The lot of limpdick syncophants and the worthless bureaucrats that support them are a stain on a national broadcaster whose legendary ability to waste talent, time, and funds is already breathtaking to behold. From its heady days in the 1980s kicking ass at the Constitutional Conventions, the CBC has rusted into feel-good Candiana, mindless "reporting", and worthless daytime drama. The collapse of the CBC has its roots in upper management and its news anchors and we're going to go through them.
Before we begin, I want to say a few things so that knuckle-dragging Libertarian-types don't misread me. First off, I have no problem with the concept of a publically-funded national broadcasting service. A national broadcaster has tremendous potential for good. I've sung the praises of Australia's the Checkout before and here I'm going to do it again – spreading information about consumer law and other useful information from a source that isn't total cack is a good thing. You remove a lot of confusion when you use a public broadcaster's legitimacy to broadcast publically-relevant information; stuff like consumer law, or the state of a government program or department, or even information like how to do taxes (which, courtesy of Steve and his boutique tax cuts is a Kafkesque nightmare) are all good things that I have no problem seeing tax money flow towards.
I also don't mind provocative films – documentaries that expose nasty problems (like, in fairness, those that the National Film Board puts out), pieces suggesting ideas through artistry, and breakout chances for newly-found talent. I'm okay with the way the French do their CBC because it is a combination of useful information, meaningful debates, and heartfelt performances. There's a reason English CBC is trying to make a derivative of a Quebecois show and not the other way around. What I do have a problem with, however, are people like Vice-President and Director of English Services Heather Conway, whose list of shows for fall of 2015 includes shit like this:
Murdoch Mysteries,Coronation Street, This Life, Heartland, X Company, Rick Mercer Report, 22 Minutes, Dragons' Den, Mr. D, Schitt's Creek, Canada's Smartest Person…Crash Gallery, (source)
Good job, Conway – I don't know what a third of those are and I think the average age group for the five-decade old Coronation Street is 120+. Also included are two incredibly washed-out programs (Rick Mucker and 22 Minutes of Agony) which should have had their cables pulled sometime after Terry Shiavo's were. Heartland, X Company, and Mr. D sound like the title of a Tea Party blog, a shitty video game, and a pornstar respectively. Canada's Smartest Person and Dragon's Den are the same hurr-durr-look-at-the-stupid-people dressed up in some bush-league successes that the dreaded AMERIKKKA loves so much.
None of these are even remotely intriguing. Low-brow, pre-packaged, mushy, derivative, or just a straight-up crap shoot, the CBC's English-language offerings are a comedic display of Sempai-notice-me. And behind them all, the one approving them is Heather Conway. And what experience does she bring? Outside of an art gallery, which is like television but the pictures don't move,
Ms. Conway spent six years as Executive Vice-President at Alliance Atlantis Communications. There, she oversaw strategic marketing, publicity and on-air creative for 13 Canadian cable specialty channels, transformed the business model for channel distribution and increased subscription revenue. She later became Chief Executive Officer of Edelman Public Relations Canada. Earlier in her career, Ms. Conway held other senior management and consulting positions with TD Bank Financial Group, Hill & Knowlton and The Neville Group (source)
Oh, good. English Canadian media company, dynastic PR firm, shitty Canadian bank, another PR firm, and a temp agency. Because who needs any sort of critical thinking skills in the CBC's upper management, right?

And when you're done eating, it's flat enough to easily slip in your bag and take home at the end of the night.
But an ever-expanding capacity isn't the Foodskin's only trick. If you're tired of your lunch getting bounced around and falling apart on the way to work, this alternative to brown-baggin' it will actually hold everything in place. So when it's time to dine, your sandwich looks exactly the same as when you first assembled it. At $33 it's totally worth it if you're tired of your BLT turning into a pile of bacon, lettuce, and tomatoes well before noon. [Unikia]

Indecisiveness is your problem? This is the place for you!
Ever been confused between two products? We all were at some point in our lives. You just can't decide which one of them to buy.
In this case, we have Red Tea Detox Program and Fat Decimator System.
Table of Content
Introduction to Both Programs — Benefits of each — Pros and Cons of each — Successful Results — What You'll Get — A Quick Cheat — Conclusion
Common things between them?
They're both weight loss diet plans, both have been discovered recently, and both are completely awesome!
In order to decide which is better for you, you need to know first what they are.
Red Tea Detox is an African magical drink that's been discovered while on a trip to Africa, it has magical results regarding fast weight loss.
Red Tea Detox Program is a full diet plan for weight loss based on that red tea, it's been developed by the author with an accompanying exercise plan and a cleansing program.
There's also a good story behind it! The author was obese and suffering from a failing marriage, she decided to go to Africa to spend some time with her husband when she discovered the red tea that's created by the African people.
The Fat Decimator System, on the other hand, is a comprehensive diet plan that aims towards a healthy and quick weight loss experience. Nearly the same vision as red tea detox. It's a mix of dieting tips, motivation hacks, and exercise plans. It's been originally designed for military men so it's supposed to give you fast results while your body stays healthy.
The story behind it is that the author was on a deadly mission in Afghanistan when a member of his team died because he wasn't fit enough to escape in time. He was feeling guilty because he was responsible for the fitness of his team, that's when he met a Korean medical student that kinda invented a healthy lifestyle for military men to avoid that from happening again. The author made his changes and experiments then he released this amazing book.
Now, let's read more about the two programs!
First of All, Let's Take a Look at Both Programs
The good thing about the two programs is that they're both broken down into three parts.
To make things easier for you, check what every program is about:
Red Tea Detox Program is all about the following three rules:
- Eat More, Weigh Less!
You heard that right. Don't stress yourself over anything!
Yes, nothing!
Lowering your food quantities and weighing yourself every day will get you nowhere. Because simply some bodies take longer to lose weight than others. And some bodies lose weight but the scale doesn't move until some weeks. The thing about Red Tea Detox is that it doesn't require you eating any less. It does its magic while you're eating the same amounts of food, only healthier!
- Don't Stress!
One of the most important aspects of this diet is being stress-free. Stressing is not good for your body especially when you're trying to lose weight. It causes fats to stay stored in your body which sabotages your weight loss process.
Thankfully, Red Tea Detox works on your mind peace so you don't stress about the whole thing.
- Exercise Less, Lose More Weight!
There's a certain intensity level of exercise that your body reaches when it's doing its best at burning fats. In other words, your fat burning abilities become at their optimum. That's the level that Red Tea Detox makes you reach, so you don't have to exercise too hard unnecessarily.
The Complete Fat Decimator System is divided into three parts:
- Fat Decimator System Diet Plan
The book walks you through the weight loss process step by step. It says you need to follow a detoxifying system before following the Fat Decimator System so your body isn't suffering from any toxic substances. It walks you through the system and tells you exactly what to do.
- Fat Decimator System Exercise Plan
For the perfect healthy weight loss process, you need to balance it out with a full work out plan. Fat Decimator System stresses on this part through an exercise plan accompanied by the book. It's designed specifically for the diet plan, to work together in parallel to get you the body you want.
- Willpower, Motivation, and Mindset
This part, in particular, is one of the best parts of the book because it helps you understand your own mind and how to reach mind peace and motivate yourself to lose weight. Because one of the most famous problems that face people when they're dieting is demotivation.
Let's Confuse You a Little Bit!
'So, why should I buy that Red Tea Detox Program'?
You must be asking yourself that, let's take a look at the Red Tea Detox program's benefits to decide which diet plan is better to buy.
- Releases the toxins in your body.
Red Tea detox aids your body in your getting rid of the toxins that clog up your fat cells so the fats stored inside your body are released.
- Lowers your stress level.
When stress hormones are released, they block signals from your brain that ensures fat burning. Red Tea Detox makes sure you're completely stress-free for a full healthy process of weight loss.
- Grows muscles in your body.
Burning fats is like a fuel to your body, it gives your body an energy boost which in order increases your metabolism. And metabolism means muscle! So when your body is burning fats and is on a high metabolism, muscles start growing.
- Lowers your food cravings.
One of the worst thing about dieting is sudden cravings that hit you, especially at night. You get so hungry and you are desperate for any food that you don't care about your diet anymore. Well, Red Tea Detox diet plan makes sure you are always full so you don't suffer that.
- Gives you enough meals for the day.
When you lower your daily quantities of food, you are prone to gain weight instead of losing it because your body stores more fats for energy. It's called Rebound Weight Gain. Red Tea detox gives you enough food for the day so you never have to go through that.
- Boosts metabolism and thermogenesis.
Red tea detox contains an ingredient called catechin polyphenol, which is responsible for the thermogenesis process which is the oxidation of fats.
This ingredient has been proven to be helpful in boosting the body's metabolism which in turn improves the efficiency of even the minimum effort you do while exercising.
- Improves your immune system.
Red Tea detox contains powerful antioxidants that gets rid of all the toxins in your body, it also protects you against a lot of diseases that your body may catch, so your immune system is strengthened.
- Slows down carbohydrates releasing.
Carbs cause an increase in the level of blood insulin in your body, which in turn slows down your weight loss process. Red Tea prevents the glucose fat cells from moving in your body so carbohydrates are not released and your body is protected against diseases such as diabetes.
Confused yet? You will be!
Now that you read the benefits of Red Tea Detox and it almost convinced you to go and buy it, it's time to get a little bit more confused!
Check the following list of Fat Decimator System benefits!
- Completely healthy!
Fat Decimator system's priority is your health. Put those unhealthy, low carb diets aside. It's time for you to follow a healthy diet plan such as fat decimator system.
It provides you with the exercise plans you need for your body to stay active and healthy.
- Comprehensive weight loss book!
You may think you know a lot about weight loss, but the fact is you don't know all of it yet. Fat Decimator system contains nearly all aspects of weight loss, so you get an all-inclusive view about weight loss and gain. The main goal of the book is to understand your body and give you the diet that will work especially for you.
- Realistic!
Most diets nowadays depend on your extreme motivation once you see that you can lose 20 Pounds in one week or something like that.
Which is not possible if you want to stay alive!
The good thing about Fat Decimator System is that it's completely realistic. It doesn't set extreme goals for you, that's why mindset is a vital part of the book.
- Easy as a piece of cake!
Diets are already hard, so let's not make it harder on ourselves!
Fat Decimator system is pretty easy to follow and abide by. It doesn't starve you, and the ingredients are easy to get even if you're from a different country.
- Based on science.
Again, put aside those low-carb diets, it's not science-based and most of the times it's not healthy and doesn't give the desired result.
However, fat decimator system is backed up by science and there's no doubt it's a completely healthy diet that will have a positive effect on your body.
- Efficient and speedy.
Most fat decimator system users are surprised with how fast the system works on their body. They notice the weight loss and the difference in health almost right after they start going on diet.
Why You Should Choose One Over The Other
What makes Red Tea Detox Special?
Every product has pros and cons, in order to choose between two weight loss books, you must first see for yourself what's good and bad about them. Check this list to know why Red Tea Detox is worth buying:

- Red Tea Detox, the drink itself doesn't contain any signs of dairy, sugar, gluten, and caffeine. Which makes sense in a weight loss drink because they're the four main elements in gaining weight, or in case of caffeine, affecting your blood pressure.
- Red Tea Detox Program is accompanied by a complete exercise plan, the plan is meant to be followed along with the meal plan and consuming the red tea regularly. It's designed to give you optimum results when used wisely.
- Red Tea Detox program does not depend on calorie counting or calculating points or the strange procedures we see nowadays with diet plans. It's completely realistic and only depends on losing weight by eating and exercising healthy.
- The weight loss book will keep your energy up and going! Because of the excess fats that get burned and the fuel that gets generated. Also, the changes it does to your hormones make your sleep habits better.
- Seeing all these advantages and benefits you get from buying the Red Tea Detox, the book isn't really that expensive. You can also get lucky and get a discount by having a red tea detox coupon or code.
- Red Tea detox actually tastes amazing! It's not like weight loss powders that taste horrible, so you will actually love drinking it!
- The diet plan that comes with the book isn't that strict, you are allowed some flexibility in what to eat and what to not approach, so you won't bore quickly from following the diet.
- The red tea detox, like any other drink, is made using some ingredients that you will know once you purchase the book. Luckily for you, the ingredients are actually easy to find regardless the country you're living in, they are also available at very reasonable pricing, so you don't pay much every time to you decide to make the drink.
- A lot of research was invested in making Red tea detox, so you can be assured it's completely safe and healthy for you. It's also completely backed up by science.
Check out another trending weight loss solution: Intermittent Fasting: 2018's Best Weight Loss Solution?
What could have been better in Red Tea Detox?
- The red tea detox program is only available as a digital book, it's not available in stores as a hard copy, if you want to print yourself a copy, go for it, but you can't buy it except as an EBook.
- Any diet plan needs time needs time to act on your body so this may not be considered bad, but in case you don't have much patience when following them, Red Tea Detox takes some time to show you signs of weight loss. You'll need to consume it regularly for at least two weeks in order to see the difference.
- The audio format of the book is available but for a little more money. If you want to hear the book rather than reading it, you're gonna have to pay a little extra to receive the audio version of the book.
- Some reviewers mention that the EBook may have been shorter, they say the author repeats herself a couple of times, you may consider this as a good thing if you're a forgetful one!
How Can Fat Decimator System Beat That?
Let me guess what you're thinking, this Red Tea Detox program does not have any disadvantages, it's the perfect weight loss. But I said I'd confuse you, didn't I?
Read those pros of Fat Decimator System to know why you should buy it :
- Just like The Red Tea Detox Program, Fat Decimator System is very easy to use, anything scientific in the book is explained so you can understand it with no regard to your background. It's also simple to follow, it does not require extreme eating habits or intense training sessions.
- A special thing about this book is that it provides you a support system! It helps you if you want to reach out to any other author or fitness specialist for advice. You can not find this advantage in any other weight loss book.
- The Fat Decimator System was finalized after many years of research and practical science experiments. Every information is this book is backed up by science, so you are assured it's completely safe for your body.
- You don't need to ask if the Fat Decimator System is good for your age, body type, gender or not. The book is for everyone! It's assured by the author that even your body size doesn't matter. Whether you're obese or thin, this book will get you healthy and improve your body image.
- The book is very easy to buy or purchase, the fact that it's available for online purchase makes it very easy to access the book, you can literally pay for it and open it exactly two minutes later. Unlike other books that you have to wait for them getting shipped from another country.
- Another special thing about The Fat Decimator System, it comes installed with a digital shopping list! Which means you don't need to memorize the ingredients you need for your diet, the book already has it for you in a ready to but list. It literally makes the whole process easier for you.
- As you read in the top of the article, this program has been originally designed for military men, so it's designed to have very fast results, you don't have to wait a lot until you see the results on your body.
- You're gonna like this one! The Fat Decimator System provides you with a personal customized training for the first thirty days of using, so you kinda have a personal diet for one month when you buy the book. It's nearly the first book in the weight loss category that provides you with this.

No, it's not all pros and advantages!
As amazing as this book is, there are still some things we think could have been better:
- The book may seem overwhelming to some people because of the hefty amount of content in it, see the end of this article to know what you're getting when you purchase the book.
- Like Red Tea Detox, the book is not available for buying in hard copy. If you want to get a hard copy, you can print it yourself from the EBook. But we think both books could have released hard copied in the stores, for coverage.
- The book needs one thing from you and it's commitment. The fact that you get fast results doesn't mean you shouldn't commit to your diet and abide by it. In order to get perfect results, you'll need to be patient and go with the diet even if you have problems with it or you're bored from changing your eating habits.

Spoilers for Celeste below
Muhammad Ali once said, "It isn't the mountains ahead to climb that wear you out; it's the pebble in your shoe."
The game Celeste, is filled with these pebbles: a mis-timed jump, a boost used too early, a ledge you held onto for too long until Madeline, the game's protagonist, falls to her doom. She hits the spikes—boom—and you start over try again. And again. And again.
Obviously, in real life a fall into a spike pit is a bit more permanent. But that feeling of trying to cross an impossible gap or climb an impossible mountain is all to familiar to people who live with mental illness. It's very fitting, then, that Celeste is a game about climbing that mountain, and despite all the slips and missteps and mistakes, picking yourself up and trying again. More than that, however, is that Celeste is about accepting parts of yourself that may seem negative, rather than fighting them. Continue reading "Part of Me: "Celeste" and Facing Mental Illness"

As My voice sounds out, as My eyes shoot forth fire, I am watching over the whole earth, I am observing the entire universe. All humanity are praying to Me, turning their gaze up to Me, beseeching Me to cease My anger, and swearing to rebel against Me no more. But this is no longer the past; it is now. Who can turn back My will? Surely not the invocation within men's hearts, nor the words in their mouths? Who has been able to survive until the present, if not because of Me? Who survives except by the words in My mouth? Who does not lie under My watchful eye? As I carry out My new work on the whole earth, who has ever been able to escape from it? Could it be that the mountains are able to evade it by means of their height? Could it be that the waters, by their multitudinous vastness, are able to fend it off? In My plan, I have never lightly let any thing go, and so there has never been any person, or any thing, that has eluded the grasp of My hands. Today, My holy name is extolled throughout humanity, and again, words of protest rise up against Me throughout humanity, and legends about My being on earth are rife throughout humanity. I do not tolerate men making their judgments about Me, nor do I tolerate their dividing up My body, still less do I tolerate their vituperations against Me. Because he has never truly known Me, man has always resisted and deceived Me, failing to cherish My Spirit or to treasure My words. For his every deed and action, and for the attitude he bears toward Me, I give man the "reward" that is his due. And so, men all act with an eye to their reward, and not a single one has ever done any work involving self-sacrifice. Human beings are unwilling to render selfless dedication, but rather delight in rewards that can be got for nothing. Though Peter consecrated himself before Me, it was not for the sake of tomorrow's reward, but for the sake of the knowledge of today. Humanity has never entered into a genuine connection with Me, but time and time again has dealt with Me in a superficial manner, thinking thereby effortlessly to win My approval. I have looked deep into man's heart, so I have unearthed in its innermost recesses "a mine of many riches," something of which even man himself is not yet aware but that I have discovered anew. And so, only when they have seen the "material evidence," only then do human beings cease their sanctimonious self-abasement and, with palms outstretched, admit to their own unclean state. Among men, there is much more that is new and fresh waiting for Me to "extract" for the enjoyment of all humanity. Far from stopping My work on account of man's incapacitation, I carry on mending and maintaining him in accordance with My original plan. Man is like a fruit tree: Without trimming and pruning, the tree will fail to bear fruit and, in the end, all one sees are withered branches and fallen leaves, with no fruit dropping onto the ground.
As I decorate the "inner chamber" of My kingdom day by day, no one has ever suddenly burst into My "workroom" to disrupt My work. All mankind are doing their utmost to cooperate with Me, fearful of "being dismissed" and "losing their position" and thus reaching a dead end in their lives where they may even fall into the "desert" occupied by Satan. Because of man's fears, I comfort him every day, move him to love every day and furthermore give him instruction in the midst of his daily life. It is as if human beings are all babies who have just been born; unless supplied with milk, they will soon depart this earth, to be seen no more. In the midst of humanity's supplications, I come into the world of men and, straight away, humanity lives in a world of light, no longer sealed up inside a "room" from which they cry out their prayers to heaven. As soon as they see Me, men insistently make plaint of the "grievances" stored in their hearts, opening their mouths before Me to beg for food to be dropped into them. But afterward, "their fears allayed and composure restored," they no longer ask anything of Me, but fall soundly asleep, or else, denying My existence, they go off to mind their own affairs. In mankind's "abandonment" it is clearly evident how human beings, devoid of "feeling," carry out their "impartial justice" toward Me. Therefore, seeing man in his unlovely aspect, I depart silently and will no longer readily come down again at his earnest supplication. Unbeknownst to him, man's troubles grow day by day, and so, in the midst of his toil and moil, when he suddenly discovers My existence, he, refusing to take "no" for answer, grabs hold of Me by the lapels and ushers Me into his house as a guest. But, though he may set forth a sumptuous meal for My enjoyment, he has never once considered Me to be one of his own, instead treating Me as a guest in order to obtain a modicum of help from Me. And so, at this time, man unceremoniously presents his sorry condition before Me, hoping to get My "signature," and, like one in need of a loan for his business, he tackles Me with all his might. In his every gesture and motion, I catch a fleeting glimpse of man's intent: It is as though, in his view, I do not know how to read the meaning hidden in a person's facial expression or tucked away behind his words, or how to look deep into a person's heart. And so man pours out in confidence to Me every single experience in every single encounter he has ever had, without error or omission, and afterward sets out his demands before Me. I hate and despise man's every deed and action. Among humanity, there has never been a single one who has done work that I love, as if humanity is intentionally antagonizing Me, and purposefully attracting My wrath: They all parade back and forth in front of Me, indulging their own will before My eyes. There is not a single one among humanity who lives for My sake, and in consequence the existence of the entire human race has neither value nor meaning, so that humanity lives in an empty void. Even so, humanity still refuses to awaken, but continues to rebel against Me, persisting in its vanity.
In all the trials they have passed through, human beings have never once pleased Me. Because of their cruel iniquity, mankind does not aim to bear witness to My name; rather, he "runs the other way" while relying on Me for sustenance. Man's heart does not wholly turn to Me, and so Satan lays waste to him till he is a mass of wounds, his body covered in filth. But man still does not realize how repulsive is his countenance: All along he has kept worshiping Satan behind My back. For this reason, with wrath I cast man down into the bottomless pit, making it so that he will never be able to free himself. Even so, in the midst of his piteous wailing, man still refuses to reform his mind, intent on opposing Me to the bitter end, and hoping thereby willfully to stir up My wrath. On account of what he has done, I treat him as the sinner that he is and deny him the warmth of My embrace. From the first, the angels have served Me and obeyed Me without change or surcease, but man has always done the exact opposite, as if he came not from Me, but was born of Satan. The angels in their respective places all give Me their utmost devotion; unswayed by Satan's forces, they strive only to fulfill their duty. Suckled and nourished by the angels, the multitudes of My sons and My people all grow strong and healthy, not one among them weak or feeble. This is My doing, My miracle. As salvo after salvo of cannon fire inaugurates the founding of My kingdom, the angels, walking to the rhythmic accompaniment, come before My rostrum to submit to My inspection, because their hearts are free of impurity and of idols, and they do not shun My inspection.
At the howling of the gale, the heavens come pressing down in an instant, suffocating all mankind so that human beings are no longer able to call upon Me as they wish. Without knowing it, all humanity has collapsed. The trees sway back and forth in the wind, from time to time branches are heard to snap, and all the withered leaves are blown away. The earth feels bleak and desolate all of a sudden, and people hug themselves tight, braced for the disaster following upon the autumn to strike their bodies at any moment. The birds on the hills fly hither and thither, as if crying out their sorrow to someone; in the mountain caves, lions roar, terrifying people with the sound, freezing their marrow and making their hair stand on end, and it is as if there is an ominous feeling presaging the end of mankind. Unwilling to await My pleasure in disposing of them, all men pray silently to the Sovereign Lord in heaven. But how can a gale be blocked by the noise of water flowing in a little brook? How can it suddenly be stopped by the sound of men's invocations? How can the rage in the heart of the thunderclap be stilled for the sake of man's timidity? Man sways back and forth in the wind; he runs hither and thither to hide himself from the rain; and under My wrath, human beings quake and tremble, deeply afraid that I will plant My hand on their bodies, as if I am the muzzle of a gun pointed at all times at man's breast, and again, as if he is My enemy, and yet he is My friend. Man has never discovered My true intentions to him, has never understood My true aims, and so, unawares, he offends against Me, unawares, he opposes Me, and yet, without meaning to, he has also seen My love. It is difficult for man to see My face in the midst of My wrath. I am hidden in the black clouds of My anger, and I stand, amid thunderclaps, above the entire universe to send My mercy down to man. Because man does not know Me, I do not chastise him for failing to understand My intent. In the eyes of men, I vent My wrath from time to time, I show My smile from time to time, but even when he sees Me, man has never seen the whole of My disposition, is still unable to hear the joyful noise of the clarion, because he has grown too numb and insensate. It is as if My image exists in man's memories, and My form in his thoughts. However, there has never been a single person who has truly seen Me throughout the evolution of the human race, because man's brain is too impoverished. For all that man has "dissected" Me, the science of the human race is so primitive that, till now, his scientific research has yielded no conclusive results. And so, the subject of "My image" has always been a complete blank, with no one to fill it in, no one to break a world record, because for mankind even to be able to keep his foothold in the present is already an inestimable consolation in the midst of great misfortune.
