With everyone's busy schedules, it can be hard to find time to meet for a group project or meeting. Instead of sendings dozens of confusing texts and emails, use Doodle, an online scheduling tool!
To create a Doodle, one administrator enters a list of possible dates and times for the event. Doodle creates a poll with a shareable link that can be sent to any email address. From there, participants can enter their name and choose the option or options that work for them. Doodle synthesizes the information to reveal the time that works for everyone!
In settings, the administrator can limit participants to a single vote, allow participants to indicate if an option is not ideal for them, and limit participants to answer on a first come, first serve basis. There is also a hidden poll option that keeps participants' names confidential.
Doodle can be automatically synced to your Google Calendar and one on one appointments can be scheduled with Doodle Meet Me.
Save yourself the time and the hassle by planning your next meeting with Doodle!

Richard De Veaux gives a presentation on predictive analytics Sept. 28 in Paris. Sign up to watch the live stream of this event.Dick De Veaux is one of the liveliest speakers you may ever see on the topic of statistics. Here's what one person who attended a seminar he led said about him:
"I have never laughed so hard so often at a statistics presentation. He managed to keep his audience's attention with great humor while still providing more education and information than entertainment."
On Sept. 28, Dick will give a presentation on predictive analytics in Paris at our Explorers in-person seminar. But you don't have to be in Paris to see the presentation. Before you go on summer holiday, be sure to sign up to watch the live stream online of this event.
A Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Williams College in Williamstown, Massachusetts, Dick is an expert in applied statistics. His professional interests include data mining methodology and its application to problems in science and industry, as well as model selection and other problems for large data sets. He has been a speaker at JMP Discovery Summit and JMP Explorers seminars in the US and Europe.
Dick was kind enough to answer a few questions in advance of his Paris talk.
Big data, analytics, data mining, machine learning, AI (artificial intelligence). All of these promise enormous benefits for those willing to plunge in. And they do have potential to provide insights and knowledge, when used correctly. Through a series of case studies, I'll try to point out the major challenges and the keys to being successful.
Data are coming in at an enormous rate and in all sorts of forms, but not always of the same type and quality. In order to get the most out of any model, the data have to be optimized. Missing data is only one of the challenges of preparing data. We'll talk about strategies for making this potentially onerous task manageable.
To be suited to a predictive model, you need two things — a well-defined question and appropriate data. We'll look at case studies to see how to ensure that you have both.
My personal favorite data come from masters events in running and swimming. As older athletes compete at higher and higher level, we have more and more information on the potential of aging athletes. In the last year, a new 105-110 age group has emerged for the 100 meter dash!
My biggest success is as a communicator of statistical ideas. My series of textbooks in statistics is approaching 1 million books sold which means that we've had an impact on millions of young people as they embark on their analytics careers. I'm very proud of how we've tried to make statistics and analytics exciting and relevant to a new generation of students.
Watch Dick De Veaux live online on Sept. 28 or attend the seminar in Paris in person.

How (and why) to ask better questions
I am 53 right now and I SO wished someone had taught me some of the simple but super powerful things I share.
I had to paddle forward and backward through life to 'get to the bottom' of life. Something inside of me has always driven me to understand how life works in all its intricacy. When I was 18, I was not interested in girls like other boys my own age, instead, I wanted to know how the mind worked and how it can create our reality!
I am now at the bottom – some call this enlightenment. I can look up and see everything – but more importantly, everything I see is a PART of me – I absorbed and digested it on my life journey getting 'to the bottom'. I do not share 'trash recyclables' – I share the core of my being!
One of the greatest 'tricks' I learned several years ago was the power of asking better questions.
I had known for years that questions gave me access to 'hidden' information – but when I learned about better questions, my personal universe duplicated itself. I moved to a new level of understanding and ability.
Questions open doors in our mind – better questions allow us to pass through the doorway!
Here is an example of a better question that I asked myself about 4 years ago.
When I was 29 I heard about a gentleman called Rudolf Steiner. He is famous for his education system but is also well-known for his system of agricultural farming now called Biodynamics.
I learned about Steiner when I was living in the Findhorn Community (Foundation) in Northern Scotland. The community had a Steiner school so I gained first-hand experience of some of his ideas in action.
Biodynamic agriculture in simple terms is organic farming + energy farming.
When I started our own organic farm I remembered what I had learned from Steiner. But what he taught PERPLEXED me deeply! Something did not feel right about what he taught.
What he taught seemed VERY complicated for me. For over two years I did not know why it did not feel right. Then one day I asked the better question of myself: "Why did Steiner have such complicated, 'weird', and detailed processes for farming?"
To give you an example, this is an infographic for creating one of the Steiner Biodynamic preparations called 500:
Source: https://jpibiodynamics.org
The answer I received to my better question BLEW ME AWAY!
It was as though I was speaking to Rudolf himself. The answer I received was that in order to systematise his knowledge, so it could be replicated by ANYONE, he had to create processes that would REPLICATE the energy intention that he wanted to imbibe into his mixtures.
You see Biodynamic farming is all about energy farming. The energy comes from our INTENTIONS.
Rudolf had a huge problem though – he needed to teach his ideas in simple but REPLICABLE ways. He needed to teach advanced energy mechanics to people that he would never meet, or who could not comprehend the depth of his connection and understanding of energy and plants.
I have to admit that when I started organic farming myself I really felt Rudolf's ideas were 'stupid'! After all – if you want to change the energy dynamic of a plant or soil, you simply tell it what you want such as saying "thank you" when you water your plants. This is what Dr. Emoto brought to the world of energy dynamics and what I had learned over 30 years ago when I learned how to program water with energy intention from a man from Texas.
I was BLOWN AWAY by the GENIUS of Steiner's ideas after I received my interpretation of his motives.
He 'future proofed' his knowledge by wrapping it up in processes that no matter the level of knowledge or the level of connection people had, they would still get consistent results.
If you stir a mixture one way and then another for over an hour in silence with a bunch of friends you go into a trance! It's boring! And this is intentional so that your logical mind shuts off and you go into your feelings and become PRESENT!
The end result is magic! And that is the genie-in-us (genius) that Steiner knew.
[ I told you the ideas I share with you are not 'run of the mill' but unique! ]

Shade 504 gives a beautiful my lips but better when applied sparingly on the lips. It's the colour I've been looking for in many peach shades, but I wasn't able to get the results I want until now. The only con is that it seems very little - I have to constantly reapply (poor staying power) and after 10 days of only using this, I can see a decent amount gone in the bottle. Still beautiful and would repurchase until I find something that gives the same effect.

Not long lasting but nice colour
I bought this in the hollywood colour and love the colour and the texture, however I was disappointed as it is quite expensive and is definitely not long lasting. After having food or drink it is completely wiped off.
goodThis lip glaze has excellent endurance and can last all day long. It is easy to color and has a nice color.

Intense colour payoffI'm a big fan of Giorgio Armani's other lip products so I was really happy to receive this as a gwp. The lip magnet has great colour payoff and feels nice to wear. If you are eating and drinking you will have to re-apply.
Nice lipwearGiorgio Armani does great lip wear ! this lip magnet has such high intensity on colour and feel so smooth and light weight. Highly recommend !
Beautiful lightweight formulaThe shares are very, very opaque so beware of overapplying! Once on, it's gorgeous, comfortable and long-lasting. It doesn't even feel like product on the lips. Totally worth it money
prettyvery nice color, and I love nearly most of the colors. Easy to apply but not long lasting.
NiceSuper nice and highly pigmented but has a tendency to ball up and peel off
Vibrato is the best shadeVibrato is the best shade, I love using this lip colour.
Nice colorsMost of Armani lips products have quite nice colours. I love to wear them for all days. But unfortunately, they do not stay on my lips for long, and I have apply every two hours.
Nice applicator!Although the formula of this lip stain isn't that unique, the thing that stood out to me about this product is definitely the pointed applicator. This made it really quick and easy to apply and I had no trouble lining the lips and reaching the inner corners of the lips. Very good choice of applicator for a liquidy formula like this
The nude shade is incredibleThe nude shade is incredible. I love the packaging of this one too. It's a favourite, will purchase again.
Light weight stainGorgeous colours and a little is all that is needed to get the perfect lip stain. Applicator makes it so easy to apply.
Pretty stainI have this in 502 which is a bright pink.
It's a really pretty colour, I use a pale lip liner under if I want it to be a bright barbie pink, or just apply it over my natural lips for a more subtle pink.
It's quite pigmented but my natural lip colour still shows through, it's more a stain than a liquid lipstick.
And it does leave a stain so the colour lasts for hours.

HollywoodThis is such a great shade, looks great for everyday and dressed up days
GlowI love this shade, it suits me and looks good no matter what I wear and feels great!
Best combination of red and brown!The best combination of red and brown! Feels really comfortable on the lips, not drying at all. It is said to be matte, but not really like a matte matte, it does take a while to dry, but you wouldnt notice cuz it's just that comfortable! i got mine in the shade 506, i can totally see why is it so popular.
Long lasting and feels like nothingthis has a great payoff and feels like nothing on my lips. but, it can accentuate the dry patch on your lips, so keep that in mind
Feels like nothing on your lips!Use a lipliner just so you can see where to fill it in - the formula is almost runny (which is great because it doesn't feel heavy) but can get messy if you aren't careful. Wish the full range of shades were available online.
I applied lip balm both underneath and on top throughout the day and it didn't affect the color.
feels like nothing!This is such a light weight product that is so comfortable on the lips! the perfect Matte finish.
GreatI'm in love with the shade 302 Hollywood. Super pigmented and long lasting
Lightweight!!Super lightweight yet long lasting and strong coverage!! I love all Giorgio Armani lip product.
Love 504504 is such a pretty neutral pink colour and looks so flattering when worn. I like how the liquid lipstick is thin so it feels like you aren't actually wearing anything. They're not drying but not moisturizing either
Just can't get enoughSo in love with these lip magnets! 504 is my everyday pink which goes with everything and 400 is my go-to statement red. They are super thin and it almost feels like you're not wearing anything on your lips! They aren't very hydrating though so I'd definately recommend applying a lip balm beforehand
Long lasting colourThis is a really lightweight liquid lipstick. It stains the lips and when it fades it fades evenly and doesn't cling to dry patches.
I have the colour 502 which is a bright and pretty pink.
It applies smoothly and the flat applicator is easy to use.
I'm definitely getting more colours!
500 is the bestI love 500 so much! It will be my go to lipstick in summer!
I want them all!This is such a nice liquid lipstick that I am itching to buy the entire color range. It is long-lasting, light-weight and gives great color payoff. With any matte, liquid products, prepping the lips is very important. With proper preparation, this can be the perfect liquid lipstick. It doesn't have an expansive range of colors but I do think the existing ones are very pretty.
Not long lasting but nice colourI bought this in the hollywood colour and love the colour and the texture, however I was disappointed as it is quite expensive and is definitely not long lasting. After having food or drink it is completely wiped off.
the bestthese lip magnets are the absolute best! super thin formula that lasts all day and gorgeous colours
GlowIn love with this shade. So lovely to wear and isnt drying.
Impressed!Really impressed with these lip magnets. I've never been a fan of liquid lipsticks before these, but the liquid formula feels really thin and the colour packs a punch! It's like a second skin on the lips. Not very hydrating, but a very easy to wear
Best lip stain ever!These colours are so gorgeous, and I like that this lipstick is long-lasting because it stains the lips as well as colors them. My only quibble with this product is that it's slightly drying, which I've been able to combat by applying a light lip moisturizer before putting on the lipstick. I like it that this color is so vibrant that people noticed it and told me how great it looked. Definitely ge...Read More
A splurge product, not a stapleI was worried about the dark color would be hard to spread evenly, but it is totally surprising me with its amazing formula. I was pleasantly surprised by quality of this product. Easy apply , no smear, and lasts even after food and drink consumption. What ladies can wish for more? Colour range offered is meeting every person need. I think I found my lifetime love. And it is Lip Magnet from Giorgi...Read More
Good lip stains504 is my favourite my lips but better shade. These have great staying power but do feel dry over time.
Intense ColourThese magnets provide a beautiful intense colour. I don't mind the formula as it doesn't make my lips feel dry, however they are not hydrating either.
Love!I absolutely love this product - similar to other reviews it is really great in that it doesn't dry out your lips. You really feel as though you don't have any product on. It is long lasting, including when eating and drinking and even with the darker shades really easy to get a full colour.
Another thing I love is that if you do decide you want to put more product on you can do th...Read More
Beautiful quality lipstickI bought this is shade 505 - second skin, hoping it would be a neutral shade similar to my natural lip colour. While this shade is too strong to be anything like a nude, it is a beautiful lipstick that stays on the lips for ages once it has dried down. It doesn't feel sticky or heavy on the lips like some other long wear or liquid lipsticks can. This is an amazing quality lip product and looks ama...Read More
feels moisturisingI really like how this doesn't dry your lips out
Excellent productThe colour is amazing and so easy to apply. It leaves a nice tint the the lips and feels like there is nothing there, doesn't feel drying or sticky like other products, absolutely in love with this lipstick!
LOVEI find most liquid/ink lipsticks to be drying but these have great pigment and are comfortable to wear!
PerfectBest liquid lipstick I have ever tried, wish there was a greater range of colours though! I purchased the colour second skin. The application is a very light veil of product that sinks into your lips, it is quite matte, but has beautiful colour that intensifies after application. This is truly a unique product, non-transferrable to cups or food etc., and I am very impressed with it. It is certainl...Read More
AmazingI bought this about a month ago and I am glad that I bought it. The colour is very beautiful and the texture is very light. You won't even feel that you are wearing a lipstick.
LOVEThese lip magnets are amazing! Love the highly pigmented colours, and they are super long wearing. They do stain your lips though. My personal favourites are 400 for a red lip and 506 for a neutral pink.
Great shadesThere's some great colours and the product is really light. It gives a natural lip, even in the darker shades, and works just as easily with an everyday look as it does with a more glam, dressy look.
Great shadesThere's some great colours and the product is really light. It gives a natural lip, even in the darker shades, and works just as easily with an everyday look as it does with a more glam, dressy look.
Very long lasting!An amazing product - very long lasting and of very high quality. Glides on easily and the shades are gorgeous!
Long lastingVery long lasting but doesn't dry up your lips. Beautiful color (i bought the shade 505).
Good productMoisturizing on the lips! Love the product
Lives up to the hypeI love a red lipstick and 400 is the signature colour which delivers. You can actually get 400 across the Armani lip range if you fall in love.
It stays put once it dries which is super important for a red and someone who continually has lipstick on their teeth.
Highly recommend Lip Magnet and not surprised it's Giorgio Armani's best selling range!
Lasting bold colour!I'm all about long-lasting colour - ain't nobody got time for touchups! The only problem is that a lot of matte lipsticks are super drying and my lips aren't the biggest fan.
Luckily I found Lip Magnet, and all my problems have been answered. Not only is the product super comfortable to wear, the colour is beautiful, bold and lasts all day. Big fan of this one!

The main sulphur-containing foods are red gram, green gram, and leafy vegetables. A diet sufficient in protein is generally considered to be adequate in sulphur.
Healing build-up of toxic substances in the body;
Structural health of the body (sulphur is a part of many amino acids including cysteine and methionine);
Healthy skin, nails & hair.
It is found in all body tissues, and is needed for the synthesis of collagen, a principal protein that gives the skin its structural integrity.
There is no official Recommended Dietary Allowance or Dietary Reference Intake for this mineral but as a guideline, you need more than 100 mg of sulfur per day.
Deficiencies will only really happen if a diet is deprived of protein, or a poorly planned vegan diet, and a protein shortage is more likely to happen than a sulfur deficiency. Sulfur is said to clean the blood and to help protect us against toxic build-up.

There are some great road trips in South Korea; one of the best parallels the coast, starting in Incheon near Seoul in northwest South Korea and ending in Sokcho, directly across the peninsula in northeast South Korea. Travelling the entirety of the peninsula's coastline accounts for just over 1,100 km and promises some spectacular sights along the way. Don't miss, for example, the gorgeous hikes and overlooks near Tongyeong.
Automobile hire is available in 25 South Korean cities. Some of the cheapest and most convenient cities from which to rent a car are Incheon and Seoul in the north – particularly their airports – Daejeon in the east, and on the island Jeju to the south of the mainland.
Visa Regulations
Visitors from many of the world's countries can tour South Korea visa-free for 30 to 180 days, depending on their nationality. However, every visitor is obliged to be biometrically scanned (face and fingerprints) upon entry. Autonomous Jeju Island has slightly more relaxed entry requirements.
Driving in South Korea
Particularly in congested residential and urban areas, drive defensively and be alert for quickly changing road conditions. With the small cost of constant alertness, you can see South Korea at its most spectacular and its most intimate via rental car.
Right-Hand Driving
- Traffic drives on the right-hand side of the road throughout South Korea.
Speed Limits
- In most cities and on rural highways: 60 to 80 km/h
- Expressways: 100 to 120 km/h
- Traffic in big cities such as Seoul and Busan is typically quite congested and often comes to a standstill during morning and evening rush hours. Be alert for drivers becoming increasingly reckless in traffic jams.
Other Regulations
- Parking is handled in diverse ways in cities as large as Seoul, with options to validate parking tickets in shopping centers, private street parking areas for which you pay an attendant, and even free parking outside of the Central Business District. Ask your hotel for advice on the best methods for parking.
- An international driver's permit is required in addition to your domestic driver's license to rent and drive in South Korea.
- Toll roads are frequent throughout South Korea and you pay tolls with an "On Board Unit" and inserted Hi-Pass card. Ask your rental company about their regulation and installation of these units.
- The minimum driving age in South Korea is 16, but you must be at least 21 to rent a car, and you're likely to face young-driver surcharges until the age of 25.
- Travelling into North Korea is impossible.
Other Tips
- Ask your rental company to outfit your car with a GPS or satnav to help you navigate busy inner-city roads and winding rural highways. Note that while Google Maps does not work in South Korea, Waze does.
- Tipping is considered rude in South Korea.
Cheap Car Rental in South Korea
Automobile hire in South Korea starts at around $34 a day, though prices upward of $58 are also typical. Here are some of the best deals in South Korea:
- Kia Ray or similar (mini class) – $34/day
- Kia Morning or similar (economy class) – $36/day
- Hyundai Ioniq or similar (compact class) – $38/day
- Hyundai Sonata or similar (standard class) – $44/day
- Hyundai Tucson or similar (intermediate class) – $57/day
Note that prices vary depending on the availability of each specific car and the season in which you rent. For the most accurate offers, use the search bar above.
Tips for Renting a Car Inexpensively in South Korea
The best car rental deals are available if you book your car around a month before you depart. You can save around $7 a day by waiting to book, if you're willing to.
EconomyBookings typically has the cheapest car options in South Korea, and they beat their own prices when you book at airports rather than at downtown locations. Both Gimpo International Airport and Incheon International Airport near Seoul are good places to book and pick up rentals.
You can also save upwards of $5 a day if you extend your rental period to over a week.

Bandai Namco Entertainment has released a new trailer for its upcoming action RPG, Code Vein, which you can check out above. The video comes with the following description:
Who is the queen? What is the Red Mist? Why do the Revenant continue to fight and feed? Important questions that need answers. Discover the truth for yourself, when CODE VEIN launches in early 2018!
In addition to the above, the company announced during Tokyo Game Show 2017 that the game will feature songs from Japanese duo Vamps' Underworld album.
GameSpot reports that during a roundtable interview at the event, Bandai Namco revealed that Code Vein won't include any difficulty settings as the game is meant to be challenging. However, players will be able to change their character's Blood Code, which will allow them to adjust stats to deal with different situations accordingly. We'll also have optional companions that'll help during exploration and battles, and the previously revealed Gift System that'll temporarily increase attack or defense actions.
What do our readers think of this?
Code Vein will release in early 2018 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. For more on the game, make sure to check out our previous coverage where we've shared plenty of gameplay, trailers, and information on the upcoming title.

A car tried to ram into the US Mildenhall airbase in the UK's Suffolk, the Reuters news agency reported, citing police sources.
According to police, "shots were fired by American service personnel and a man has been detained with cuts and bruises and taken into custody," while "no other people have been injured as a result of the incident."
The lockdown, put on the base earlier, has been lifted.
"They just released us from lockdown," a spokesman for the Mildenhall base, in Suffolk, said, as quoted by the agency.
Police are responding to reports of a significant incident at RAF Mildenhall, further details shortly, follow us for any updates.— Suffolk Police (@SuffolkPolice) 18 декабря 2017 г.
The US military has commented on the issue, saying that the base had been locked down since 13:00 GMT "following reports of a disturbance" and emergency services deployed to the site.
The US Airforce RAF Mildenhall military base operates as a USAF transport hub, stationing KC-135 tanker fleet and special operations forces, with about 3,200 military employees and 400-500 local civil personnel.

NEW YORK — Used-vehicle values continued to increase in July, which benefited auto ABS performance by constraining loss severity levels. But loss levels are still expected to increase in the latter half of 2009, consistent with seasonal trends, said Fitch Ratings.
Used-vehicle values were up over 7 percent compared to the year-ago period and have posted gains for the majority of vehicle segments in virtually every month this year. However, poorer 2006 and 2007 vintages are expected to near peak loss levels in coming quarters and 2008 vintages are tracking at record high levels, according to Fitch.
"Auto lenders continue to contract portfolios across the board, given the tougher credit and capital markets environment, but the lack of competition has allowed lenders the ability to demand better terms on new loans, including higher finance rates and lower loan-to-values," said Senior Director Meghan Crowe, "But higher credit losses and funding costs combined with the permanence of longer contractual agreements, now an industry standard, are expected to keep net profits for the auto industry below historical levels for some time."
Still, funding costs have begun to rationalize to some extent, as the Federal Reserve's Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility (TALF) has provided more affordable liquidity to the sector. Subprime auto lender AmeriCredit Corp. completed a $725 million ABS transaction in July 2009 and was able to sell the non-TALF-eligible subordinated notes, primarily to traditional securitization investors.
However, loss frequency remains the biggest driver of loss rates on auto ABS this year, according to Senior Director Hylton Heard. "Unemployment remains historically high and job creation is stalled," said Heard. "Consumers are still struggling to keep up with their monthly auto loan payments as personal bankruptcies remain at or near record levels."
Fitch's prime 60+ days delinquency index was at 0.77 percent in July, 8.5 percent higher on a monthly basis. This was the fourth consecutive monthly increase in the index. Annualized net losses (ANL) rose by 3 percent to 1.74 percent in July over June, and remain 23 percent higher than in June 2008.
Despite declining asset performance in 2009, prime 'AAA' auto ABS ratings performance remains stable. Fitch has issued eight upgrades on prime auto ABS in 2009, vs. 14 during the same period in 2008. Negative rating actions have been minimal in 2009, with just three downgrades.
In the subprime sector, 60+ days delinquencies jumped to 4.26 percent in July, a 10.6 percent rise over June. Subprime ANL were at 7.06 percent in July, 6.2 percent above June.
$55.5 billion worth of prime and subprime auto ABS compose Fitch's indexes. The prime auto ABS index total nearly 70 transactions, while the subprime index comprises over 30.
Fitch's outlook for the auto finance industry remains negative for the remainder of 2009 given high unemployment rates, reduced profitability, and the difficult, albeit modestly improved, funding environment. However, consistent funding availability could ease rating pressure for the non-diversified auto lenders significantly over time, the ratings firm said.
"Rating action for larger, more-diversified, non-captive lenders is not likely to be driven by the performance of auto finance businesses alone, although auto segments will continue to contribute to negative rating momentum," Fitch said.

Australian Foreign Affairs Minister Julie Bishop on 18 July met Indian External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj and discussed about deepening regional engagement, defence and security issues.

If your own money is at stake, which risk factor do you worry most? Which variable do you watch most? I bet #2 is theta, not vega, but #1 is delta/gamma i.e. how underlier moves.
One reason is, underlier changes much faster.
- Implied vol doesn't change by the minute. I think people re-calibrate vol surfaces as frequently as every few minutes. However, imp vol is a guesstimate "soft" market data, with a lot of guessing.
- realized vol changes usually by the day.
- TTL doesn't change by the hour. We typically treat it as changing by the day.
In contrast, Underlier spot price changes by the second, and is Directly observable. Therefore, among all of the input variables to option valuation models, spot price changes fastest.
Note spot isn't always the most significant input in every pricing formula. Volatility and TTL (when expiring) are sometimes more significant.
Another reason -- hedging. An option/swap often exists along with a position in underlier. In that case it's paramount to analize the nett impact of an underlier move. No such thing with the other greeks.
pace of change -- for TTL pace is constant, whereas pace of change in S can be very fast in a crash. Sigma can change fast, but not as fast as S.
I feel theta matters mostly in the last few months. "Decay" is a slow process until the dying days.

why delta overshadows other greeks

Man Utd were shocked by one aspect of Anthony Martial signing new Old Trafford contract
MANCHESTER UNITED never expected to pay Anthony Martial such blockbuster wages when he penned a new contract earlier this year, reports claim.
Manchester United star Martial signed a new contract earlier this year, with the France international finally ending months of speculation over his future.
Back in the summer, the 23-year-old was widely expected to leave Old Trafford.
The Manchester United star had tumbled down Jose Mourinho's pecking order and had suitors in the form of Juventus, PSG, Bayern Munich and Chelsea.
Ultimately, however, Martial stayed and was a rare shining light as Mourinho's tenure imploded around him.
The France international signed a deal worth £250,000-a-week, making him one of the highest-earners at the club.
And the Telegraph say that United never imagined having to pay that much for Martial, who is a popular figure in and around the Red Devils setup.
Unfortunately for them, however it appears to be a consequence of landing Alexis Sanchez from Arsenal.
The Chile international touched down at United from the north London giants back in January 2018.
Some reports have claimed the 29-year-old earns £600,000-a-week but Express Sport understands the figure is closer to £375,000 a week.
Either way, however, the decision to give Sanchez such mammoth wages has proved to be problematic.
Man Utd never expected Anthony Martial to demand such high wages
Players are asking for higher salaries than ever before, and it has been claimed that United have been taken aback by some of the demands.
Martial, however, is hoping to prove value for money.
The 23-year-old has endured a mixed season with his form tailing off since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's appointment.
But injuries appear to be to blame and it should only be a matter of time before the forward is back to his blockbuster best.
News on Martial comes at a time where:
- Paul Pogba has rejected a new United contract in favour of a move to Real Madrid.
- Solskjaer tells Ed Woodward his Sanchez transfer decision.
- United step up their interest in PSG midfielder Adrien Rabiot.
Martial was buzzing when he signed a new United deal in January, saying: "I am loving my time at this club.
"From the day I joined I have been made to feel part of the United family and I have been incredibly humbled and overwhelmed by the warmth and love of our fans, who continue to amaze me with their support.
"I would like to thank Ole and his coaching staff for their belief in me and for helping me to take my game to the next level.
"This club is all about winning trophies and I am sure the next piece of silverware is not that far away."

To make real estate future ready, real estate professionals need to adopt an agile development mindset toward delivering CRE strategies. The result will be better user experiences and returns on their investment.
In the technology world, agile development is a methodology used to develop projects with an emphasis placed on empowering people to collaborate and use a continuum of planning, testing and integration. In most cases, the projects evolve and the result is continuous improvement.
Adapting to Change
In order to respond to the needs of the changing built environment, real estate needs should be delivered with the same premise – change is continuous and strategies need to be continually responsive. For developers of workspace, design should be guided by the quality of the user experience. Soon, commercial real estate environments will be judged in comparison to something as frictionless as downloading and using an app. The world of ubiquitous workspace-as-a-service is close at hand. In the future, companies will still define private spaces to drive their business and support their culture, but as technology and real estate continue to intersect, users will continue to push CRE to support them in a fluid landscape of tools and connection points.
Navigating Technology
Technology disruption is showing real estate how it needs to be more flexible to stay relevant. Real estate is showing that technology needs a longer view and ROI in order to survive. In both worlds, tactics and trends will change but success should be measured by the value of the outcomes and the engagement of the users.
Both will be successful if they are invested in wise uses of resources and the priority for our wellbeing.
Five Key Themes
Deloitte recently published a report, "Innovations in Commercial Real Estate, Preparing for the City of the Future." The report discusses five key technology and consumer behavior themes CRE professionals should be incorporating with their business strategies going forward. These themes include future trends in mobility, the focus on occupant health, utilizing the Internet of Things, 3D printing and data analytics.
How does real estate use an agile development mindset? Let's look at the themes in the Deloitte report:
Future of Mobility
Shared access, autonomous and 'pay-per-use' vehicles will ultimately cut down on parking requirements and change logistics geographies.
Agile application: Landlords can offer pre-paid (Uber cards) transit credits as leasing incentives and survey existing tenants to create new uses for portions of their parking lots.
Occupant Health and Wellness
As health consciousness grows, so does the demand for healthy environments. Well-being in the workplace translates to productivity, recruiting advantages and energy efficiencies.
Agile application: Properties can stay agile to health and wellness needs by expanding access to natural light, maintaining their shell as a sustainable environment and measuring the ongoing physical and mental comfort of the occupants.
Internet of Things
Machines everywhere are talking to each other, collecting data and working 'smarter' on our behalf. The realities of better measurements and efficiencies are present for owners that put into place an IT backbone fed layer of IoT devices into their buildings and businesses.
Agile application: Owners can take the ongoing IoT device feedback and make it transparent to the tenants. Both parties will have an up to the minute view and voice to improving ROI and property experience.
3D Printing
Additive manufacturing is providing many industries more customization and faster delivery.
Agile application: Landlords can be agile to the needs of companies with on-demand production and smaller inventories by providing time share storage and infrastructure for on-site manufacturing options.
Demographic Data and Predictive Analytics
Primarily because of technology, we gather more data and have more insight to people's preferences than ever before. As a result, smarter algorithms and greater customization is possible to present timely solutions.
Agile application: Continue to measure and gather information but keep instinct in equal balance for decision making. Human nature and a historical respect for choice will keep our intelligence from going completely artificial.
The Result?
Regardless of what aspect of real estate is affected by technology, incorporating integrated solutions for new ways for people to live and work will result in more collaboration and quicker decisions for users and owners alike.
This will become increasingly important as the fight to attract and retain talented workers continues to gain momentum throughout the United States.

Something in the civic life of Minneapolis changed when The Theater of Public Policy debuted on the stage of LynLake's HUGE Improv Theater in 2011. It got funnier.
It is now almost a rite of passage for our local public figures to sit down for an interview with T2P2 host Tane Danger and then watch as the theater's spontaneously humorous cast riffs on their conversation. Past guests include the current and two former Minneapolis mayors, three of the candidates seeking the DFL endorsement for governor and dozens of other politicians, public servants, academics and journalists.
The Southwest Journal recently caught up with Danger as he was preparing for a May 14 performance with meteorologist and author Paul Douglas at Bryant-Lake Bowl, where the show has run since 2013. Danger is co-founder of the theater with Brandon Boat, a fellow Gustavus Adlophus College alumnus.
T2P2 wraps up its spring season at Bryant-Lake Bowl with shows on May 21 and May 28. A grant-funded series of five shows runs every Tuesday in July at Amsterdam Bar and Hall in St. Paul. For more information, go to T2P2.net.
This interview has been edited and condensed.
Southwest Journal: Your guest tonight on The Theater of Public Policy is meteorologist Paul Douglas. What kind of research do you do to prepare for a guest?
Danger: A lot. Obviously, I read up on the guest's background and anything they have written or talks that they've done. In Paul Douglas' case, he does a lot of public speaking.
I will touch base with a guest before a show and say, OK, if we only were able to get to three things that we were going to talk about on stage, what would you think the three most important things for us to get to on stage are? That usually is clarifying for me, and (it gives me) a sense of what the guest thinks is the most important few things.
You've covered a lot of topics in The Theater of Public Policy, so I'm wondering if there are aspects of our civic life that proved unexpectedly humorous — or, to flip that around, difficult to joke about?
One of things we didn't expect when we started the show, and tonight will probably be a good example of it, is that science-related topics end up being some of the best shows. They're so fun for some reason. And so funny.
My best theory is that there's something about the right brain-left brain connection that has to happen in order to take what might be a very sciency topic and translate it to improv comedy on stage that ends up producing something that is just very surprising and unexpected from everybody. Those shows, we've definitely found, end up being really good.
I have been surprised at how hard it is to do shows around education topics. Those are the shows where literally people will call me at home before the show and tell me all the things that we're going to do wrong and all the ways that, you know, we're not engaging the issue the way we should or we don't understand what we're doing.
We do shows about gun violence prevention and gun rights. We've done shows about women's health and abortion even, and people are just sort of like, 'Oh yes, those are interesting for you to talk about.' But when we get anywhere near education, those are the ones I just sort of have to brace myself for people being really — engaged is a polite way to put it.
In addition to hosting T2P2, you're also regularly called on to host forums for local political candidates. Since this is an election year, I'm wondering if you have any advice for running a successful candidate forum?
That's a great question. I actually have in my drafts folder an op ed that I've been trying to work on of advice for running better candidate forums.
The first candidate forum we did, we actually just did it as a Theater of Public Policy (show). Nobody asked me to do that one.
Was this the mayoral forum back in 2013?
Yes, exactly. We did that because I thought: Man, most of these are terrible, so why don't we do one that would be less terrible?
This is why the op ed is only in my drafts folder, because it's hard to narrow down exactly what it is, but I think one of the big things is thinking about this from the audience's perspective. For legitimate reasons, moderators or organizers think about a lot of this from the candidate's perspective, because that's who maybe they're interacting with, and that's who they have to convince to do this thing. But what that often ends up meaning is we set up a forum where we're going to make sure everyone gets exactly two minutes to answer the exact same question so that it's hyper quote-unquote "fair."
If we're doing a school board forum, all of the candidates up on stage are going to say, We need to have strong schools. Yes, most people will agree with that. So, what is it you are going to do that is different from somebody else who is up on stage? And what is it that you actually can do that is different from somebody else on stage? Because I think a lot of times we don't correlate what a candidate is promising to do with whatever office they're in.

A seat at Super Bowl LI is getting more expensive.
Ticket prices for the cheapest seats have jumped back up after sinking to a resale price of nearly $1,500. Now, two days out, and prices are over $2,700.
The average price of a ticket is also up -- around $5,000. That's the second highest they've been this close to the actual game, according to Ticket IQ's data. It started tracking prices back in 2010.
The only game with higher average prices was Super Bowl XLIX in 2015, which pitted the New England Patriots against the Seattle Seahawks.
The price rebound is surprising considering that the Atlanta Falcons vs. the Patriots was the lowest demand match-up of all possible Super Bowl outcomes earlier this year.
"The Patriots have been in seven Super Bowls, the Falcons don't have a huge fan base," said Ticket IQ founder Jesse Lawrence.
When the Cowboys were still in the running, the average Super Bowl ticket price was up to nearly $12,000.

At this point in 2015, Super Bowl tickets were an astronomical $9,500. But prices that year were out of whack. Rampant ticket speculation by resellers vastly inflated prices, prompting the NFL to clamp down on how Super Bowl tickets are distributed.
To prevent this from happening again, the bulk of Super Bowl tickets are now sold as packages through NFL On Location Experiences.
This means there are fewer tickets available on the resale or open market.
Lawrence said that the smaller supply of resale tickets is a tradeoff for the assurance of actually having a ticket.

The four official images were taken by British photographer Matt Holyoak at Clarence House after Louis was baptised by the Archbishop of Canterbury in The Chapel Royal at St James's Palace.
The photographs were released by The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to mark the milestone.
In a big family photo, Kate and William are joined by their children, along with Harry and Meghan, Charles and Camilla, and the Middleton family including Kate's sister Pippa Matthews and her husband James.
In the royal family photo, the Cambridge five sit in the morning room at Clarence House, with Louis in Kate's arms, Princess Charlotte gazing across at her baby brother and Prince George sitting on William's lap with a wide smile on his face.
A third photo of the Cambridge family by themselves features Kate smiling down at Louis in her arms, while George stands with one hand in his pocket and Charlotte leans into the trailing christening gown.
A final image shows Kate and Louis in the garden at Clarence House, with the mother-of-three looking down at the bright-eyed royal baby in her arms.
Mr Holyoak said: "I was truly honoured at being asked to take the official photographs at the christening of Prince Louis, and to witness at first hand such a happy event.
"Everyone was so relaxed and in such good spirits, it was an absolute pleasure."

hello, sweet friends!! SURPRISE…I went back to Mèrida.(you can read about my last trip here.) It was such an amazing trip, because it really showed me how faithful the Lord is. He used the time I was there to teach me new things, grow my faith, stretch me out of my comfort zone, and also speak a new peace into my heart. I'm forever grateful he allowed me to have this opportunity.
if you know me in real life, then you know that my desire to back to Mèrida was (and still currently is) super strong. the Lord allowed me to make strong connections, and I'm so thankful for those relationships. He provided a way for me to go back, and also provided opportunities for others to send items to help serve the local people. if you happened to be one of the people who prayed, gave, or donated for this trip, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
below is a video of my trip (ENJOY & make sure you click HD for better quality playing):
i hope watching it, that it brings as much joy to you as it does to me!! after my mom watched it she said it reminded her of this verse: "God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them." – Hebrews 6:10
i also want to share some pictures that I got to take on the trip. just to update y'all, i recently got this camera. i've had a lot of fun videoing and taking photos with it. each photo is just such a sweet glimpse into each of their lives and personalities.

Volvo Trucks is now launching improvements on its FM, FMX, FH and FH16 model range. Increased fuel efficiency on the engine along with new aerodynamic improvements on cab and chassis can reduce fuel costs by up to five per cent.
Fuel costs are a key issue for hauliers with heavy workloads. To address this, Volvo Trucks has a dedicated fuel focus, where potential areas for improvement are continuously identified and integrated in product development. The latest improvements have now been introduced on updated engines which comply with the Euro-6 Step C regulation and aerodynamic optimisations made on the Volvo FH cab, with some weight optimisations on the chassis.
On the engine a number of changes have been made mainly on the D11 and D13 engines, such as low-friction pistons, an all-new improved turbo, a higher compression ratio, an enhanced camshaft and software updates, which contribute to the fuel reduction. Among the measures that will improve the aerodynamics and reduce air resistance include re-designed front spoiler, air deflectors, mudguards and a tighter wheel housing on FH models.
"Since fuel accounts for a third of hauliers' costs, every drop counts. We are constantly working on improving the fuel efficiency of our vehicles. It is a philosophy of utilising every possible improvement and optimisation, small and big. With these latest updates on the engines and the aerodynamics, drivers receive an even more efficient truck with the excellent performance of the Volvo Trucks and further improved fuel efficiency, meaning more money saved for the operator. These are a number of small improvements that can ultimately lead to significant savings," says Claes Nilsson, President of Volvo Trucks.
How much fuel these improvements can save will depend on the truck specification and application. For a Volvo FH driving long-distance transport, combined optimisations can improve fuel consumption by up to 3 per cent. In severe applications, such as timber transport, a fuel saving of up to 4 per cent can be realised when the truck is combined with Volvo Trucks newly-introduced I-Shift automated transmission with crawler gears and the new liftable tandem axle. The unique advantage of excellent startability combined with a suitable rear axle ratio that optimises engine revs at high speeds when carrying heavy loads, and lifting the tandem axle when not fully loaded, will result in lower fuel consumption on highways.

In the latest survey, CIOs predicted spending growth of 8.7 per cent during the next 12 months, up slightly from the previous month's projected spending increase of 7.4 per cent. The magazine surveyed 241 CIOs in October."It was encouraging that (even though) we had a month when budgets tend to be cut a little bit … this didn't happen in October," said Gary Beach, group publisher at CIO. "It seems that CIOs are winning the battle with the other 'O's' in terms of getting funding for next year." Beach said he is encouraged that 36 per cent of all the respondents in the poll claimed that their spending would rise next year by 10 per cent or more. "That's pretty good," he said. "To put this in context, this is the strongest October we've had since October 2000."Spending priorities indicate that security software, data networking and computer hardware are the top issues for CIOs, according to the poll.The survey also found that nearly half of all respondents, 48.5 per cent, have no plans to implement a voice-over-IP plan in the next 12 months.When asked about spending in eight specific IT categories, the average number of panelists planning to increase spending rose to 45.1 per cent in October, up from 43.7 per cent in September. Those planning to decrease spending fell to 12.9 per cent from 14 per cent in September. Security software was again the strongest sector in the poll, with roughly 63.5 per cent of respondents planning to increase spending in that area, down slightly from 65.1 per cent who said that in September.Spending on data networking equipment increased to 51.5 per cent in October, up from 42 per cent in September, making it the second-highest spending priority of CIOs in this month's poll.The October results showed that 51.3 per cent of panelists plan to increase spending on computer hardware, up from 49.6 per cent in September, while 14.6 per cent plan to cut hardware spending. That's down just slightly from the 15.5 per cent who said in September they planned to cut computer hardware spending.Each month, CIO magazine surveys a panel of IT executives on current and future IT spending and other IT issues. The survey is done in partnership with Ed Yardeni, chief investment strategist at Oak Associates Ltd., and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc.The latest poll was conducted from Oct. 7 to Oct. 18. Eighteen per cent of the responses came from executives at companies with more than 5,000 employees.

[AE1] A feminist look at Die Hard, and why men can't agree on why they hate The Last Jedi. I enjoyed it a great deal.
[AE2] Megan McArdle is worried about Netflix's debt in pursuit of original content… much of which is not very successful.
[AE3] A look at why authors invent fantasy worlds. Also, some fantasy cities.
[AE4] This is kind of odd. The Wonder Years ended on a pretty definitive note. It would have been weird if they'd brought it back for another season.
[AE5] Are we doomed to a cinematic future that caters to the Chinese denominator? That's probably true of theater movies, but eventually film might find the equilibrium that television did where they spend less (comparatively) and therefore can succeed with a more clarified viewership.
[AE6] I just want to point out that this is the Hollywood Reporter drawing a connection between sexual promiscuity in culture and sexual impropriety and not William S Truman.
[AE7] Deborah Cohan writes about how difficult it is for millennials to make friends. I… empathize a great deal.
[AE8] I guess I can understand ditching the Spike name, but "Paramount Network" dramatically overestimates Paramount's brand, even among people that like Paramount movies. If they simply dusted off the UPN name, some people might recognize that and stop while flipping through channels.
[AE9] In the age of the paperback, the ebook persists. A little over a year ago, Amazon laid off some of its professional ebook prep people, giving us even less faith than before in self-publishing and ever-more fodder for kindle cover disasters.
