What's wrong with the SAT? Quite a bit, according to Walt Gardner in this Education Week Commentary.
Gardner argues that, in order to meet expected levels of scoring differentiation, the SAT has to discount material emphasized by teachers. Instead, it relies heavily on questions based on knowledge students acquire outside the classroomwhich is often correlated to students' socioeconomic backgrounds. That factor can leave both students and teachers feeling frustrated and helpless, he says, and is ultimately unfair.
What do you think? Is the SAT a good predictor of future performance in college? Or is it an unfair test that needs to be scrapped? What are the alternatives?

Reflections for 26th April 2013
Although this has been a challenging week for many people, the heavens speak today of an opportunity to stand back and take stock. They point to the value of giving ourselves and each other space to process all that has occurred in recent days. To let energies within and around us settle and begin to take shape, revealing to us the changes that have taken place in our lives as a consequence of these intense times.
We are by no means through it and out the other side, of course. In the coming month there are two more eclipses and the Uranus/Pluto square, so that alone tells us there is a way to go in this process of shift and rebirth. However, today we can claim some time and space just to be, to absorb all that has taken place in our lives and to bring ourselves back into our centre again.
At the time of any Full Moon, and even more so when there's a lunar eclipse (which acts a bit like a super-charged full moon), our energy tends to be very outward flowing and extrovert. As a result it can leave us depleted, and whilst the New Moon a fortnight later will generally remedy this, it's often wise to take some time out more immediately to rest and recharge, just for a while. Even a minute or two of stopping the frenetic pace of everyday life and gazing out of the window can help!
So at some point today, make sure you take a moment to do just that or something similar, because that's what the heavens suggest and it sounds like a jolly good idea to me!Sarah Varcas

Tenor returns to film after a nearly 20 year break since the release of his 16 mm venture, Sähkö The Movie in 1995. Nuntius will be making several presentations, amongst theme the event booked for Sonar Festival in Barcelona scheduled for Saturday, 20th June, 2015. However this must-see event will take place next week at the Suomalaisen Elokuvan Festivaali in Turku on the 16th April. With comparisons to Solaris by Tarkovsky and David Lynch's Eraserhead, it will be great film noir and electronic music unscripted, not to be missed.

Fresh from having its GDP rebased, increasing it by c.89% to USD 510bn, Nigeria has also emerged as the frontier-market economy that is attracting the most attention from American and European multinationals.
The Frontier Markets Sentiment Index, created exclusively for the Wall Street Journal by Washington DC-based advisory firm Frontier Strategy Group (FSG) and touched on in yesterday's Africa Rising, tracks the level of interest shown by major European and American multinational companies in countries across the frontier markets world. The index is based on information collected from FSG's roughly 200 multinational clients, which include companies such as Coca-Cola, General Electric, Novartis, Dell and Akzo Nobel. "We collect data about which countries the companies are watching for potential future investment. Over time, that gives us a clear picture of their market priorities — which countries are they including in their future plans and which they are dropping," said Matt Lasov, FSG's global head of advisory and analytics, as he explained how the index works.
The research provides two key insights: the current state of sentiment toward countries in the frontier markets, and the change in sentiment over time. Corporate sentiment is calculated as the percentage of companies that include a particular country on their watch-list. If 50 of the 200 companies are keeping an eye on a particular country, the sentiment index score would be 25%.

Fingering, "hand job" or mutual digital masturbation is safe as long as the finger(s) do not serve as vehicle(s) for body fluids and germs in them.
Caution: Ambiguity of the guitar fingering is well known among guitar players, but the meaning of the word "fingering" wouldn't ever include insertimg a finger into sound hole of the the body of an acoustic guitar. It wouldn't make any sense. Why do people insert their fingers into genital hole instead of fingering the clitoris? Why do people insert their fingers into anus, get them soiled with feces and then transfer all the infectious filth into vaginal vestibule, vagina or mouth? Does it make any sense? Fingering i.e. rubbing erogenous zones with finger(s) for sexual arousal and climax must not include inserting fingers to body holes. Read carefully the following info on masturbation to find why.
Parallel masturbation involving nothing more but eye, sound, or mental contact, and the most common - solo masturbation aided with fantasies or "masturbatory aids" (erotica, own and non-shared sex toys) do not carry any risk of STIs.
NB. Saliva as a lubricant can carry other person's or own germs from mouth to vagina. Many stubborn cases of vaginal candidiasis (yeast) become curable soon after using saliva for lubricating the clitoris comes to an end. The finger soiled with minute traces of faeces can carry microscopic germs that infect the vagina and/or oral cavity and become a reason of nasty and stubborn diseases.
A large number of American child and adolescent girls although not experiencing sexual urges strong enough to masturbate alone (' jill off ') in the rate of their male peers (' jack off ') engage in vaginal intercourse even more often than in masturbating together. The most common act of genital mutilation is defloration before marriage, leaving the female child, adolescent or adult, with torn (stretched) hymen. dr Halat, noxologistEvident girl child and adolescent sexual exploitation

Marco Pierre White to open Steakhouse Bar & Grill in Windsor
The 80-cover restaurant will offer what White calls 'affordable glamour', serving a selection of English and French dishes.
It will be the chef's 13th steakhouse to open across the UK and Northern Ireland under a franchise agreement with Black and White Hospitality.
John Willcock, general manager at the Castle Hotel Windsor, said: "It's wonderful news for our hotel guests and visiting diners that we have been able to gain such an authentic and exciting restaurant adjoining the hotel.
Dishes will include Entrecôte of Veal and Cambridge Burnt Cream and 28-day aged Native Breed Steaks.
White said: "My menus are designed to offer something for everybody, for every price point and budget, as the future of eating out is affordable glamour."
Originally a Mecure property, the 108-room Castle Hotel Windsor was re-branded under Accor's high-end MGallery collection last year.
It is the first MGallery hotel to welcome a Steakhouse Bar & Grill, joining its sister Mercure sites in Leicester, Oxford, Stratford-upon-Avon and London Bridge which operate under the Marco's New York Italian Brand.

text: "One of the most striking and consistent results in speciation genomics is
the heterogeneous divergence observed across the genomes of closely related species.
This pattern was initially attributed to different levels of gene exchange—with
divergence preserved at loci generating a barrier to gene flow but homogenized
at unlinked neutral loci. Although there is evidence to support this model, it
is now recognized that interpreting patterns of divergence across genomes is not
so straightforward. One \r\nproblem is that heterogenous divergence between populations
can also be generated by other processes (e.g. recurrent selective sweeps or background
selection) without any involvement of differential gene flow. Thus, integrated
studies that identify which loci are likely subject to divergent selection are
required to shed light on the interplay between selection and gene flow during
the early phases of speciation. In this issue of Molecular Ecology, Rifkin et
al. (2019) confront this challenge using a pair of sister morning glory species.
They wisely design their sampling to take the geographic context of individuals
into account, including geographically isolated (allopatric) and co‐occurring
(sympatric) populations. This enabled them to show that individuals are phenotypically
less differentiated in sympatry. They also found that the loci that resist introgression
are enriched for those most differentiated in allopatry and loci that exhibit
signals of divergent selection. One great strength of the \r\nstudy is the combination
of methods from population genetics and molecular evolution, including the development
of a model to simultaneously infer admixture proportions and selfing rates."

"Bitcoin dropping to about 6600 on the 5th of this month [July] was probably the bottom for the year, it's price will continue to climb and probably hit a peak of around 15,000 this year… Cardano is the most impressive so far."Collins' outlook on the market is very optimistic and if anything, bullish. Other experts say that investors are limited on time to get on the 'cyrptocurrency train'. This is something investors will have to decide soon otherwise they might be to late. After hitting the $8500 level, we could see Bitcoin soon after, surging up to $10,000. After having a tough past month, the last couple of weeks, have seen Ethereum recover nicely. After ETH jumped the $500 dollar hurdle there could be a bright future for the digital currency.

Pound-to-Euro Exchange Rate: Why Losses Might be Limited
- Written by James Skinner
- Subscribe to our Newsletter
Pushing the Euro higher against the British Pound amounts to "pushing a stone up a hill" - Kit Juckes, Société Générale.
The Pound now buys 1.1153 Euros on the inter-bank market, this purchasing power is down from 1.14 seen in early November and equates to levels last seen on October 20.
The move is partly thanks to a fresh deterioration in UK political sentiment, and partly thanks to a rejuvenated Euro which took heart from the latest set of German economic growth data.
Pushing the Euro higher against the British Pound would amount to "pushing a stone up a hill" says long-time City foreign exchange analyst Kit Juckes of Société Générale.
The claim is made after Juckes has studied a traditional driver of the Euro vs. Pound exchange rate - interest rate differentials. The interest rates being referred to here is the yield paid by German and UK sovereign debt; the differential is the difference between the two.
In short The important point for readers looking for clues as to where the Pound will go next against the Euro to take note of is that the EUR/GBP exchange rate traditionally follows this interest rate differential.
Just take a look at the below:
The above image from Deutsche Bank confirms the linkage between the EUR/GBP exchange rate and the spread between German and UK bonds. German yields are lower than UK yields, this in turn sees investor cash flow from Germany to the UK, supporting the Pound in the process.
However, the recent dislocation has economists at Deutsche Bank describing the Pound as cheap, something Juckes concurs with.
"The level of relative rates at the front end of the curve is very strongly tilted in Sterling's favour, and while I don't think that matters much, it does mean that pushing EUR/GBP up is a bit like pushing a stone up a hill," says Juckes.
"Not the full Sisyphean 'push it up and then get flattened when it rolls back down' metaphor but hard work all the same," Juckes adds.
In short, Juckes is not suggesting Sterling is undervalued and therefore due a strong rebound against the Euro, rather it looks incredibly difficult to justify substantial declines in the Pound-to-Euro exchange rate based on the above observations.
This financial dynamic might help to place a floor beneath the Pound during the coming weeks, which are set to see investors' appetites for Sterling tested by additional rounds of Brexit talks and a December deadline for "sufficient progress" that looms ever closer.

Technicals Also Supportive
"The pullback in GBPEUR has been intense on Tuesday, though when taking a step back, the picture is decidedly less threatening, if not encouraging," says Joel Kruger, a currency strategist at LMAX Exchange.
Above: Pound-to-Euro exchange rate shown at hourly intervals.
The Pound-to-Euro rate was quoted 0.70% lower at 1.1167 at the London close Tuesday after being forced lower by a resurgent Euro and poorer than expected macroeconomic data emerging from the UK.
"For the moment, we view the pullback as nothing more than a minor period of weakness within a choppy consolidation likely to remain confined to the 1.1100-1.1400 area," adds Kruger.
UK consumer price growth stalled to a halt at 3% for the month of October, according to Office for National Statistics figures, when it had been expected to rise 10 basis points to 3.1%.
"There is clear evidence of a meaningful base in place from earlier this year, down around 1.0750, which suggests the current round of setbacks should be very well supported ahead of 1.1000 in favor of a higher low and bullish continuation," Kruger concludes.
Above: Pound-to-Euro exchange rate shown at daily intervals.
Tuesday's inflation data could have implications for Bank of England monetary policy and served, on the day, to take some air out of the argument for further interest rate hikes in the short term.
"EUR/GBP has eroded the short term downtrend and rallied to 0.8920, the 55 day moving average. This should act as the break up point to the .9034 12th October 2017 high, where we suspect that it will struggle," says Karen Jones, a technical analyst at Commerzbank.
The 0.9034 Euro-to-Pound level, where Jones forecasts the Euro will meet with heavy resistance, works out to a Pound-to-Euro exchange rate of 1.1069.
This is less than 100 points away from the 1.1150 Pound-to-Euro rate seen around the London close Tuesday, which could suggest that further downside for the exchange rate will remain limited.

This show explores internalized sexism and social anxiety through a series of delightful, bizarre and often pretty damn funny dance routines. Chess and Cristina are a joy to watch, with a natural comedic connection, which immediately gave me a 'French and Saunders' vibes. The dancing was interwoven with naturalistic speech, often featuring both girls clamouring over one another to be heard; although impactful, this device was a little overused. Both performers movement work was captivating and swung effortlessly between the technicality and abandoned chaotic exuberance. The message driving lovely girls was pretty clear throughout, questioning female stereotypes and in particular the idea of loveliness and sexiness under a traditionally white male gaze. Chess and Cristina's performance was well received by the crowd who really seemed to get on their side, and the feminist message was recognizable and relatable. At times, it felt a little simplistic and repetitive, but the girls brought in complexity with questions about their own prejudice and complicity in patriarchal oppression. Overall, the performance was enjoyable and well-executed. However, as a piece of feminist theatre, the show lacked emotional depth and felt a little underdeveloped. Worth a watch if you've never seen anything like this before, it will definitely make you laugh and the soundtrack of classic girl power hits will get you wiggling in your seat. Lovely Girls runs at ZOO Southside – Main House, 20:50 until the 17th of August TweetShareSharePin0 Shares Leave a Reply Cancel Reply Your email address will not be published.CommentName* Email* Website Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.

Would Local Tax Dollars Stay Local?
If the Missoula County Public Schools' (MCPS) $70 million high school bond passes, will tax dollars from the local area be spent locally or will they be spent on schools in Missoula? That question was raised at the Oct. 12 Seeley Lake Community Council meeting where MCPS Superintendent Mark Thane was on hand to present information and answer questions.
Thane acknowledged that there were pockets of homes with higher values that would pay more than average but he was unable to answer if the Seeley-Swan area is one of those.
Based on tax information from the Department of Revenue the answer is...

We're proud and passionate about what we do, from our flexible conferences, gala dinners, exhibitions and meetings to the great service we offer. See what our clients say about us...
EventCity felt like the perfect venue to join us for this event and as they also allowed us to take the full price of the ticket for Global's Make Some Noise it meant that the charity could fully benefit from the £10 ticket price. What I especially loved was that the team at EventCity supported every single bit of the event and went above and beyond in order to make it work – including managing to source an AMAZING fairground ride.
We organised the annual recognition event for one of our major clients at EventCity and the venue met all of our expectations and more. The Team were extremely flexible giving us the freedom to achieve what we wanted from the event. On the night clients enjoyed a three-course sit-down dinner which was excellent. The staff were wonderful and made us feel very at ease throughout the planning process. The experience was a very positive one, and we would definitely return and will endorse EventCity to our clients.
The event was a great success, we all thoroughly enjoyed the event and being back at Event City, thank you to all of the team everyone was so helpful and friendly. All of which helped make our event run smoothly.
Everyone had such a great time and we were delighted with the increase in numbers. The EventCity team was great – their flexibility and support shone through in the most varied of circumstances from the cleaners looking after micro pigs to a virtual Noah's Ark being dealt with by security. The team at EventCity handled everything impeccably. There were so many positive comments from exhibitors, visitors and our own team about your approach and teamwork, thank you. We can't wait to do it all over again!
Having approached EventCity as my number one choice of venue for Winter Wonderland - The UK's largest indoor Christmas theme park, I can honestly say that I have been overwhelmed with how accommodating, helpful and professional all of the team have been. The venue exceeded my expectations and I am looking forward to doing more events in the future at EventCity.
We launched Childcare Expo Manchester in 2016. This was an addition to the calendar due to the need of such an event in the area. EventCity has proved a popular venue for all our visitors, with ample parking and the Trafford Centre across the road allows a day out to be made. The staff are always on hand to answer any questions and the onsite team during the event are superb. We look forward to many more years at the venue.
Launching a show in a new territory is always a daunting process. For Media 10 this was our first show in the North West so there was a lot of unknown aspects to every element.
From the very beginning, we were supported by the team at EventCity. Their enthusiasm and excitement for the show allowed us to work closely on producing a show and a marketing campaign that exceeded all of our expectations.
The results were over 36,000 visitors to the Ideal Home Show and 32,000 to the Ideal Home Show at Christmas, making the shows the biggest launches the North West has ever seen.
From the moment we chose EventCity as the venue for our first ever Auto Body & Motor Claims Expo, we knew we were making the right decision. From the sales team listening to our specific needs to the operations management team being exemplary in their handling of our event, it was invaluable.
The venue itself is ideally situated close to numerous transport links, meaning it was easy for our exhibitors and visitors to get to the Expo, the free parking offered undoubtedly helped us to hit our attendance target. The flexibility of the event space allowed our exhibitors to be adventurous in their exhibits, meaning we had a large number of vehicles indoors and numerous demonstrations of auto body repair equipment.

Rose Garden Senior Apartments was created specifically for seniors and replaces a nearby former public housing development. The new 120-home building features a multi-purpose kitchen, wellness space, computer lab, and training, exercise and music rooms.
Rose Gardens was also made possible after it was converted to a 20-year rental assistance contract under HUD's Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) program. RAD enables public housing agencies to leverage public and private capital to reinvest in public housing.
The Charles L. Edson Tax Credit Excellence Awards recognizes "excellence in the affordable housing industry and organizations that have demonstrated especially impactful use of the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit."
Enterprise is honored to have helped support such a high-impact development that offers well-designed affordable homes to seniors.

5Milliard 14" Flexible Spa and Pool Vacuum Head
The Milliard 14" Flexible Spa and Pool Vacuum Head is a flat-edge vacuum that you attach to the vacuum hose that goes from your pool's filter pump to the suction port. Once you have it hooked up, this head will then do all the rest. It has wheels that allow it to glide almost effortlessly on your pool's floor and also has weights built into it that keep it from floating to the surface. It also has a plastic body that's flexible and allows you to reach areas of the pool that might be uneven or curved. It's definitely a helpful tool in cleaning out just about anyone's pool.
4Hydro Tools 8110 Weighted Half Moon Pool Vacuum Head
Thanks to its weighted design, this pool vacuum head will stay at the bottom of the pool at all times. It will also improve your vacuum's cleaning capabilities due to its ingenious half-moon design aimed at covering a much larger area of the pool in a shorter amount of time. Not only that but it also comes with a quick snap pole adapter designed to fit almost any type of vacuum pole and with a replaceable brush for good measure.
3Poolmaster 27514 Clear-View Triangular Vinyl Liner Vacuum
When looking for such a tool, it is very important to look for a vacuum head which doesn't just clean the pool but one that removes hard debris as well. Such is the case with Poolmaster's 27514 Clear-View Triangular Vinyl Liner Vacuum, one that just like the name suggests, is designed to be used in vinyl-lined pools. This being said, the head uses a translucent ABS triangular cleaning system with channel-set polypropylene brushes that work just as well in any type of pool.
2Ocean Blue Flexible Swimming Pool Vacuum Head
This particular vacuum head is intended for plaster/concrete pools but you can use it in virtually any type of pool thanks to its ingenious design. Furthermore, this unit benefits from a flexible 14-inch vacuum head built to scrape the bottom of the pool without damaging in any way, thus enabling it to be used in soft-lined pools just the same. At the same time, this pool vacuum head features six evenly placed weights to ensure that it will slide firmly and evenly across the bottom of the pool without missing a spot.

The new maps of dark matter
A preliminary survey of the sky, made a new room off the field installed at the Japanese Subaru Telescope, allowed astronomers to reveal well-9 concentrations of dark matter. The findings, published in the Astrophysical Journal, are comforting to understand the role of dark energy in connection with the expansion of the Universe. The next step will be to expand the survey to cover at least a thousand square degrees of sky.
Credit: NAOJ/HSC Project
Researchers from the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ), the University of Tokyo and other institutions have begun a survey of the sky to study the distribution of dark matter using the Hyper Suprime-Cam, a new room off the field installed at the telescope Subaru located in Hawaii. The first results of the observations, which cover an area of 2.3 square degrees towards the constellation of Cancer, revealed well-9 concentrations of dark matter, each having a typical mass of a galaxy cluster. Analyze how it is spatially distributed dark matter and how it varies over time is essential for understanding the role of dark energy that controls the expansion of the Universe. Moreover, these data demonstrate that astronomers now have the technology and the tools most appropriate to study dark energy. The next step will be to expand the survey to cover at least a thousand square degrees of the sky in order to obtain additional data in order to unravel the mystery of dark energy and, therefore, of the cosmic expansion.
Map the spatial distribution of dark matter on large regions of the sky is of paramount importance to understand in more detail the properties of dark energy, the enigmatic component that is causing the accelerated expansion of the Universe. In fact, these preliminary results are showing that with current research techniques and with the Hyper Suprime-Cam, it is possible to explore the spatial distribution of dark matter and how it has evolved over time, reveal the mystery of dark energy and then track the history of the cosmic expansion in unprecedented detail.
Credit: NAOJ/HSC Project
Since 1929, when Edwin Hubble discovered the expansion of the universe, astronomers have begun to use a cosmological model that indicated a rate of expansion of space slowing over time. We know that gravity, until some time ago considered the only known force that acts between the galaxies, it is opposed to the expansion. But in the 90s, the observations of distant Type Ia supernovae showed that the Universe is expanding faster today than ever before. This discovery required the introduction of a new physical concept: or is there some kind of "dark energy" of repulsive nature, that tends to alienate the galaxies, or the physics of gravity requires some revision in the most fundamental level.
So to unravel the mystery of the accelerated expansion, it is important to analyze the relationship between the rate of expansion of the universe and that to which formed the astrophysical objects. For example, if the universe is expanding rapidly, it takes longer to matter to collapse and form galaxies. Conversely, if the Universe expands more slowly, the cosmic structures will be formed more easily. In fact, there is a direct relationship between the history of structure formation and history of the cosmic expansion. The problem is that most of the matter in the Universe is really "dark", it does not emit light and therefore cannot be detected directly by telescopes.
A technique to overcome this problem is based on the "weak" gravitational lensing or "weak lensing". A concentration of dark matter acts as a sort of "cosmic lens" which deflects the light rays coming from the most distant objects. Now, observing the deformation of distant objects caused by the effect of the gravitational lens, it is possible to determine the spatial distribution of dark matter interposed along the line of sight. This analysis of the effects of dark matter allows researchers to determine how has thickened over time. The process of aggregation of dark matter may be related with the history of the cosmic expansion and could reveal some physical properties of dark energy, its strength and evolution over time.
To obtain a sufficient amount of data, astronomers must observe galaxies that are located at least to more than a billion years light and which are distributed spatially in an area of the sky larger than a thousand square degrees (about 1/40 of 'whole sky). The combination achieved by putting together the Subaru telescope, with its opening diameter of 8.2 meters, and the Suprime-Cam, the room earlier than the new one, which has a field of view equal to 1/10 of a square degree (about the size underlying the Full Moon), it was one of the most significant technological breakthroughs in research of faint and distant objects. However, even in the case of this powerful combination instrumental, explore a thousand square degrees of the sky, at a given depth, is not very realistic. "This is why we have spent ten years developing the Hyper Suprime-Cam, which has a higher image quality to Suprime-Cam and a field of view over seven times larger," says Satoshi Miyazaki of the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan's Advanced Technology Center, principal investigator of the research team and author of the study published in the Astrophysical Journal.
The Hyper Suprime-Cam was installed at the Subaru telescope in 2012. After the first test, starting in March 2014 was made publicly available to the astronomical community. Currently, there is an ongoing observation program "strategic", consisting of more than 300 nights of observation planned in a period of 5 years. The room, equipped with 870 million pixels, provides images covering an area of sky comparable to that applied by nine full moons in a single exposure, with a very minimal distortion and with a resolution of 7/1000 of a degree (0, 5 seconds of arc).

The researchers analyzed the preliminary data provided by the Hyper Suprime-Cam to check its power in the exploratory map the distribution of dark matter with the technique of "weak lensing". The data collected from an area of sky covering 2.3 square degrees, considering an exposure of about two hours, provided a series of sharp images of many galaxies. In this way, the scientists were able to construct a map of the spatial distribution of dark matter. The results of the observations led to the discovery of nine regions where the density of dark matter is high. In addition, for each of these nine regions it is estimated an equivalent mass of a typical cluster of galaxies. The reliability of the technique of "weak lensing", and then the resulting maps of the distribution of dark matter, were also confirmed by observations made with other telescopes that show real galaxy clusters at the nine regions with high density identified by Hyper Suprime-Cam. Optical Identification of clusters, the astronomers used the archive Deep Lens Survey.
The number of galaxy clusters found by the Hyper Suprime-Cam exceeds that derived from predictions of current models that describe the primordial cosmic history of the Universe. So, as the map will be extended to cover at least a thousand square degrees, the data should reveal whether this excess is really real or whether it is an instrumental artifact. If the excess will be confirmed reliably, the conclusion might be that in the past there's been so much dark energy as expected, which allowed the Universe to expand slowly and the stars and the galaxies formed quickly.
In short, using the technique of "weak lensing" to map the distribution of dark matter is also a way to find astronomical objects using their mass, know that there is "something" and its weight at the same time. It provides a direct measure of the mass that is not possible to obtain with other methods. Therefore, the maps that allow you to measure the mass of the dark matter distribution are an essential tool to understand in a more precise and detailed the history of the Universe.

Six Special Ways to Reward Employees
A lack of recognition is the number one cause of employee dissatisfaction. Give creatively to employees, and they will give back productivity, loyalty and team spirit.
Here are low-cost ways to reward employees:
Name it.
If Kelly was drinking coffee while working on a report until 2 am, post a sign on the coffeemaker dedicating it to her. Name the conference room after the employee who scored a big account. Change the names as the people who deserve recognition change.
Bribe the spouse.
Show appreciation to the support person behind the star employee. A simple note works. Flowers, wine or dinner is even better.
Give discounts.
Macy's employees enjoy discounted store purchases, but how do you give discounts to employees at a plastics factory? If your plastics company sells to a toy manufacturer, ask the manufacturer to give your employees a discount on its merchandise in December. Or if you're buying bulk coffee at discounted prices for the office, buy extra cases that employees can purchase at the same rate.
Encourage employees to applaud one another.
One way is to take turns awarding a special coin or trophy at monthly meetings. The reigning champion could make a short speech praising the person that he/she felt contributed the most over the past month and then present the award to the new winner.
Create a Wall of Fame in a public space to showcase employee accomplishments.
Display awards employees have won, or simply post a letter from a satisfied customer.
Put on a one-minute parade.
To celebrate a star employee, march around his desk wearing newspaper hats and blowing kazoos.

Today, the PKR-US$ exchange rate in the interbank market closed at Rs 107 per US$. During the day, PKR depicted high and low of Rs.109.50 and Rs.105.55 respectively.
Almost half way into the current fiscal year, Pakistan's economy is well positioned to achieve the real GDP growth target of 6 percent in 2017-18. This positive outlook is supported by a broad-based 8.4% growth in Large Scale Manufacturing during the first quarter of the year, and encouraging assessment of major crops, while services are likely to benefit from the positive spillovers of the growing commodity sector. Strong growth in private sector credit, particularly in fixed investment loans, also reflects the dynamism in the real economic activity. Moreover, inflation continues to remain low and stable, and stood at 3.6 percent during the first five months of the year.
On external front, exports recorded a double-digit growth during Jul-Oct FY18; Foreign Direct Investment reached a nine-year high; and workers' remittances posted a modest growth. However, the continuation of high growth in imports led to a widening of current account deficit, and consequently to depletion in the country's foreign exchange reserves. These pressures have persisted leading to the adjustment in inter-bank exchange rate. This movement in the exchange rate is based on demand and supply of foreign exchange in the interbank market.
SBP is of the view that this market-driven adjustment in the exchange rate will contain the imbalance in the external account and sustain higher growth trajectory. The exchange rate will continue to reflect the demand and supply conditions; and SBP stands ready to intervene, in case speculative and/or momentary pressures emerge, for smooth functioning of the foreign exchange markets.

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Police are investigating two cases of anti-Columbus Day vandalism in South Philadelphia.
Police say a vandal spray-painted anti-Trump and anti-Columbus Day sentiments on the sidewalk outside the History of Italian Immigration Museum on East Passyunk Avenue around 4:35 a.m. According to authorities, the suspect was alone and appeared to be wearing a hooded sweatshirt.
The message read, "Columbus equals Mussolini equals Rizzo equals Trump equals Fascist."
Just a few miles away, police say several "end Columbus Day" messages were also spray-painted on the sidewalk in front of the Christopher Columbus Statue on 2800 South Broad Street in Marconi Park.
A police official says he would be surprised if the two incidents were not related.
At the museum, there is frustration at what they found outside their door.
"A lot of hatred for the Italian-American community, I guess, because of Columbus Day. It's horrible to see that this could happen," said Pasquale Nestico.
Police believe the same person is responsible for both incidents.
On Monday night, authorities released a photo of a person of interest in the case.
Anyone with any information is asked to call police at 215-686-TIPS.

As if any more was needed, this week have another story to evidence the appetite for indigenous Nigerian oil firms to flex their muscles outside their own borders.
Following the lead set by Aiteo Group's internationalist aims earlier this year, Oranto Petroleum has announced that it is set to sign a petroleum exploration licence and oil production sharing agreements with the Government of Uganda.
Oranto has been quietly gaining momentum at the fringes of the Nigerian energy sector for the past several months, but is yet to make it on to the big stage. Unlike rivals Aiteo, who are recent mainstays of the indigenous oil market and have already been given government contracts, the Nigerian Energy Ministry pulled an agreement with Oranto in June citing some due diligence concerns. I suppose there really is a first time for everything!
Perhaps this latest move by Oranto will be enough to get them into the good books of State House and firmly welcomed into the fold of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). Certainly the Uganda deal sounds very interesting and precisely the sort of ambitious move that Nigerian companies need to be making. The agreement, set to be signed next week, concerns the Ngassa area which covers an impressive 410 square kilometres near Lake Albert in the Hoima district. And it is not bad news for the Ugandan government either, as the deal would likely place a signature bonus of over $300,000 into the national petroleum fund.
Such entrepreneurship will surely see Oranto's value rise in the eyes of the Nigerian government, though with the 21 oil and gas licences Oranto already holds across jurisdictions including Namibia, Senegal, Equatorial Guinea, Sao Tome and Principe, Gambia, Sudan, Benin, Ghana, and Nigeria, you'd be forgiven for thinking they might have already earned it.
Like Aiteo Group, Oranto also have the visionary Chairman to go with the package. Aiteo's Benedict Peters has been guiding the company with metronomic reliability of late, leadership which has seen the company go from strength to strength. He also appointed an international director earlier in the year, the clearest sign yet that Aiteo intends to take its model overseas. For their part, Oranto has their own figurehead in the form of Arthur Eze, a Nigerian prince also known for his shrewd business acumen.
Unlike Benedict Peters' vision for keeping Aiteo Group more self-contained, Eze tends to acquire acreages with significant value before farming out portions of those oil blocks to international oil companies for higher amounts when the values of those blocks increase. It's a cheeky reversal of the way the oil sector has worked in Nigeria for time immemorial, but fortune favours the brave!
Amid uncertainty, Kenya's oil sector looks to drive economic developmentTwelve months ago – almost to the day – President Kenyatta announced that Kenya's economic growth would reach an impressive 6.9% in 2020. It seemed realistic too: The President's 'Big Four' agenda was bearing early fruit, SMEs were flourishing and even tourism far outpaced regional averages. But ...

Australia launches strategy to develop itself as battery hub
[MELBOURNE] Australia is seeking investment to develop a battery industry to wring more value from its minerals wealth, the government said in a report on Tuesday.
Australia is rich in reserves of raw materials like lithium used in rechargeable batteries for everything from mobile phones to electric vehicles, but it is shipping its commodities offshore rather than developing a domestic battery industry, the government said in a strategy report.
To reap more value from its reserves, Australia will aim to attract investment to build a battery supply chain, including chemical technology and cell manufacturing, and it is prepared to offer funding incentives, it said.
Under the strategy, the government will offer yearly tax offsets of up to A$200,000 (S$197,700) per year for investors and a 10-year exemption on capital gains taxes for investments held for at least a year.
"Australia has a once-in-a-generation opportunity to transform into a major processing, manufacturing and trading hub for lithium-ion batteries," Minister for Trade Simon Birmingham of the ruling Liberal-National coalition said in a statement.

Australia has the world's third-largest reserves of lithium and also produces nine of the 10 elements required to produce most lithium-ion battery anodes and cathodes.
It has the world's largest hard-rock lithium mine and will soon have some of the world's largest chemical plants for batteries, being built by China's Tianqi, and BHP Group , respectively, in Western Australia.
But the country still needs to secure proprietary equipment, processes and technology to convert its raw materials into lithium-ion batteries, the government report said.
The new strategy report may be hard to implement since most of Australia's lithium supply is exported under existing contracts, said Leonard Rowe, the business development director at mining consultants AME Group in Sydney.
"(The strategy) is a good idea but the reality of it is probably remote as we would be competing against the global powerhouse that is China which already has significant scale, and is both the largest manufacturer and the largest market," he said.
The report identified possible target sites for lithium-ion battery cell manufacturing at Kwinana in Western Australia, where BHP Group is building a plant to produce battery grade nickel chemicals, and mining hub Kalgoorlie.

I have an incredible review that has helped me through my journey in life. Life will throw you lemons, it's if you can make beer out of it and enjoy the rocky ride.
This app not only allows me to vent my thoughts and feelings without being judged, but it also has helped me have peace within my heart. The more I used it, the more relevant the questions were to my lifestyle! It's pretty cool actually. I mean we all could just let off steam once in awhile, right? It's super easy to use and looks beautiful 😍😍
This app was created by positive psychologists and almost 1 million people are using this app all in a matter of one year! Amazing right?!
Here's a little video of what I have done today. I chose to make it basic and not so personal.
All in all, I'm pretty impressed with it. Imagine being able to vent…the positive way, instead of blowing up or worrying about things that are out of your control.
Basically this app is a like journal; for your own personal thoughts. This has helped me process goals, overcome fears, achieve things and becoming organized about my life. I love this app. Regardless of what you're facing in live, whether it be hard times, or even good, there is always a learning step to everything. And a frickin app. Am I right? 😂😂
Just remember, if you don't write them down, how are you going to remember everything throughout the day?
It's like a journal, in an app, that guides you and helps you through lifes stepping stones. Another amazing thing about this app is depending on your mood or your responses, it could go either way. For example, my greatest fears are currently being met in my life. So the app provided me a beautiful and informative and undoubtably calming video response:
This video today has helped me. On positive days like below, you would receive another video helping or congratulating you on your journaled notes. Isn't that great? It kind of reminds me of the book: The Secret. You're basivally helping your mind and manifesting a positive and happy lifestyle.
It's great! I absolutely love this app. I highly recommend this to anyone and everyone for absolutely any topic at hand. Sometimes it's hard to talk about my past. Because of it, I have a severe & complex form PTSD. I think this helps one grow as an individual. It will definitely help me to get off what's on my chest instead of maybe exploding or worse…and for positive achievements, this is just one of my favourite apps.
Ive also used this app for my New Mom Syndrome! It has also let me vent my s?$t out as a new mom. You all know that my mom passed away 3 months before conceiving our daughter. So, you all know this app has does wonders for me.
Two thumbs up!
I recommend this to every single person, no matter the age, culture, religion; whether they're in school or batting hard times.
This is also a great manifestation of what you want in life.
Think positive.
Journal it with positive psychologists.

Washington, D.C. - A PETA International Science Consortium advisor, Joseph Manuppello, will present the "Animal Protection Perspective" at a workshop sponsored by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) intended to identify in vitro models and assays for tobacco toxicity testing.
The workshop, Assessment of In Vitro COPD [Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease] Models for Tobacco Regulatory Science, was designed by the nonprofit laboratory, the Institute for In Vitro Sciences (IIVS), to bring together experts and participants to specifically address the relevant research goals of the FDA's Center for Tobacco Products.
According to IIVS, the research priorities of the Center for Tobacco Products include the identification of in vitro models and assays for assessing tobacco constituent or compound hazards and for comparing the respiratory toxicity of different tobacco products.
Areas to be explored in the workshop include:
- Inflammation and Oxidative Stress
- Ciliary Dysfunction and Ion Transport
- Goblet Cell Hyperplasia and Mucus Production
- Parenchymal/Bronchial Tissue Destruction and Remodeling
The introductory session will feature speakers from the FDA's Center for Tobacco Products, tobacco manufacturer R. J. Reynolds, and the PETA International Science Consortium presenting regulatory, industry, and animal protection perspectives.
Manuppello will discuss opportunities for minimizing animal use within the current regulatory environment for tobacco products. "Tobacco products can and must be tested using nonanimal testing methods as the standard, and the FDA must exercise its authority to avoid harming animals," says Manuppello.
The workshop in Bethesda, Maryland will be held December 8-10 at North Bethesda Marriott and Conference Center, 5701 Marinelli Road. For more information about nonanimal testing methods, please visit the PETA International Science Consortium, Ltd., website.

What they say
Thomas W. - Denver, CO
I met John Young, in 2017 through a friend who was familiar with his work. I needed new audio, visual, internet, and WIFI in my Cherry Creek townhome, so I called John to discuss the job. He arrived on time and had many good ideas to make the installation and operation of the new system very easy. I have worked with John since then on several occasions, and his honesty, integrity, and professionalism has always been at the highest level, provided the best service and equipment at the most competitive prices. I would highly recommend John to anyone looking for great service and value
Ashu R.
John and his team were an excellent choice. He was up front about all costs associated with the job and there were no hidden costs. He was well prepared and when I changed my mind on certain aspects of the job while they were working he was able to accommodate me easily. He is a perfectionist and the install is a work of art. Overall, I would use his services again. He was also very affordable compared to other local companies in the area. Highly recommended!!
