"We are buying a trip to a different country."
Translation:Kupujemy wycieczkę do innego kraju.
What is the difference between podroz and wycieczke? Is podroz unacceptable in this context?
Of the two, 'journey' seems more general. You can say e.g. 'Journey by train took 2 hours' - 'Podróż pociągiem trwała dwie godziny'.
Thanks, so would podroz make sense here, or would something one buys always be a wycieczka?
I don't think you can't buy a "podróż". You can buy a "wycieczka", but you can organise a "wycieczka" on your own as well.
So, then, one can buy a podroz?
Hmm, technically perhaps it might be slightly weird if you think about it deeply because "podróż" is indeed more about the time spent while travelling however the simple fact that I as a native speaker automatically used this word in the above sentence means that it's not uncommon for us to switch between "wycieczka" and "podróż" in many contexts. After all, had it been a round the world trip, we'd more likely have said "Kupujemy podróż dookoła świata".
I think I am beginning to get it.

"How come he gets three and I only get two?"
"You gave Bob a hunting knife when he was thirteen ..."
"C'mon, Mom. That's not fair!"
"Fairness means that everyone gets the same."
Unfortunately, in many households children have convinced their parents that the above definition is a true and accurate one. Consider: How many fathers would return from a business trip bearing a gift for only one child? How often do you resist the temptation to purchase a special gift for one child because you would feel the wrath of the siblings who received nothing? At holiday time do you carefully compute and monitor each child's gift list to ensure that all receive the identical number of gifts? If this sounds familiar, you should understand that you are applying the concept of "fairness" at the level of a 7- or 8-year-old child.
"Fairness means that everyone gets what he or she needs."
Consider the following analogy: The readership of the Quarterboard is 5,000 families. Suppose a magnanimous philanthropist were to give us a grant of $5 million and asked that the funds be distributed equally to the readership. Each family would receive a check for $1,000. That's easy. However, if he were to request that the funds be divided fairly among the readership, that would require a far more complex and diverse distribution. We would be bound to consider the financial needs of each member's family. Suppose one family had a chronically ill child and limited financial resources were postponing much-needed therapy for the youngster. Fairness would dictate that the family would receive a disproportionate amount of the donated funds. Fairness and equality are not synonymous.
What impact does all of this have upon parenting? Parents must realize that, in order to be fair to their children, each must be treated differently. We must recognize their unique patterns of strengths and needs. In the life of a family, there will be times when the needs of one family member become paramount. In order to be fair, the parent must react to those needs by investing a disproportionate amount of time, energy, and resources in that child. Parents should not become guilt-ridden about the situation but allot their energies based upon the children's needs. Parents should feel secure in the fact that their "offended" sibling will, at some time in the future, also require some extra effort to meet their unique needs.
Daughter: "Mom, I need a pair of stone-washed "Guess How" designer jeans. I need $55."
Mom: "Nope. I have checked your closet and I agree that you need a pair of jeans. However, you want a pair of designer jeans. I will gladly provide you with what you need. Please accept this check for $35 which will buy you the jeans that you need. If you want the designer jeans badly enough, I am sure that you will find some way to add $20 to my $35."
In summary, parents who go to great lengths to see that they give each of their children the identical amount of energy, time, and resources are probably being unfair to all of them. Let us celebrate the unique needs, goals, and personalities of each of our children.


Are there any risks of authentic Botox?
Where can I get real Botox?
Botox is an injectable made from botulinum toxin type A, a neurotoxin produced from the bacteria Clostridium botulinum. When injected, it blocks neurotransmitters that are responsible for signalling muscle contractions. When prepared correctly and used in the correct dosage, botulinum toxin type A can be a very effective treatment for many medical conditions, particularly those that involve muscle spasticity. In fact, Botox was first approved and indicated for use in treating upper and lower limb spasticity.
When used for cosmetic purposes, Botox is injected into the muscles that are responsible for facial expressions that cause wrinkles and lines to appear in the skin. These lines, called dynamic wrinkles, lessen in appearance when Botox is injected into the muscles, as the muscle is essentially paralyzed and unable to cause the formation of the wrinkle. It is a prescription-based drug that should only ever be administered by a knowledgeable healthcare professional. Though Botox is the most well-known brand, there are other Botulinum toxin fillers.
Doctors have been using Botox for decades to help treat a number of issues from medical to aesthetic, and it has proven to be safe—so long as the formula is prepared properly, and the injection is performed by a licensed health-care professional. Botulinum toxin type A is purified to ensure safety and the dosage is carefully tested. However, if Botox is injected by someone who is unlicensed and does not have a thorough understanding of the filler, it can be very dangerous.
Because of the potential danger associated with Botulinum toxin type A, receiving authentic Botox is incredibly important. There are many risks associated with buying this filler without guarantees of authenticity, the least of which is that you may simply be getting a fake product with no real effective active ingredient. Not only could the product be counterfeit, it could have been transported or stored improperly, making it ineffective. There is also a very dangerous risk of the product being mislabelled. As there are other Botulinum toxin type A fillers on the market, someone with little knowledge about these products may try to pass one of these off as Botox, and that is incredibly dangerous. This is because each name under which Botulinum toxin type A is marketed has their own units of measurements, and therefore their own system of dosage, meaning the dosage it is not interchangeable across different formulations of Botulinum toxin type A products.
Additionally, no reliable medical professional is likely to inject you with a filler that you bring in yourself, and it is incredibly dangerous to inject yourself with no education or experience with administering Botox injections. Correct injection is absolutely vital not only to receiving good results, but also vital to your safety. Do not ever accept Botox injections from anyone other than an experienced, licensed, health-care professional.
When Botox is prepared correctly by a reliable source, there are very few potential risks associated with its use. Like all procedures involving injection, there are some side effects that may occur.
Common mild side effects include muscle weakness near the injection site, bruising, redness, bleeding, pain, or swelling near injection site, headache, muscle stiffness, neck or back pain, fever or flu-like symptoms, dizziness or drowsiness, nausea, diarrhea, dry mouth or eyes, or itchy eyes. These reactions may manifest within hours of injection, or it may take up to a couple weeks. These side effects are temporary and should resolve themselves within a few days once they appear.
Though rare, more serious side effects may occur if the solution spreads into areas other than that injected or if injected by an inexperienced and unlicensed practitioner. These reactions include trouble breathing, speaking, or swallowing, drooping eyelids, severe muscle weakness in areas that were not injected, loss of bladder control, difficulty seeing, uneven heartbeat, or chest pain. These reactions may occur within hours or take up to a couple weeks. If these reactions start to manifest, contact a medical professional immediately.
It is important to know the average cost of Botox injections in order for you to understand whether or not you are being offered treatment by a reliable source. The cost varies depending on a number of factors, with the most important being the area being injected. There are also 2 different ways that Botox injections are usually priced—either per unit, or per area. On average, the cost of 1 entire Botox treatment is approximately $330, though it can range from $400 to $800. If you are being undercharged, it is a good indication that the product is either not legitimate, or the injector is not properly experienced or licensed. These are both scenarios that should absolutely be avoided.
The number 1 way to ensure that you are being treated with safe Botox is to find a licensed medical practitioner who is experienced in Botox injections. Research the practitioner and read reviews, and do not be afraid to ask questions about their experience, what you can expect from the procedure, and particulars about the product. You can also ask to see the vial prior to injection, which will have a hologram on the label.
Not only is it illegal to purchase your own Botox, it is also incredibly risky and dangerous. Botox is a serious medical implant that could be very dangerous and even lethal if the formula is in the wrong concentration. The most harmless thing that could happen if you purchase Botox from an unreliable source is that you will have wasted your money and not experience any desired results, though it is much more likely that you would land in the hospital after suffering serious consequences from that dangerous decision. Botox is a safe and effective treatment when it is authentic and administered by a licensed injector.
People also search for other popular botulinum toxin brands, such as Xeomin and Dysport.
Why people should not buy Botox without a license?

tldr: I made an interactive 3D plot of poverty, pollution, and race data from California.
Due to a regular travel schedule, I’ve been intermittently attending PERRO’s Environmental Justice training program on Saturday mornings. One of the recent projects was to compare the number of stationary area sources of pollution in different zip codes around Illinois to the population demographics of that zip code. In the class we looked at 10 different zip codes around Chicagoland that were chosen by Jerry to make the point that when it comes to a polluted environment, race matters. But 10 samples of data isn’t really my style. So after a bit of searching I stumbled upon this data from the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA). It contains pollution and demographic data from 1,769 zip codes in California. It isn’t Illinois, but 1769 zip code samples is much better than 10. The environmental justice course is focused on race, but racial effects are regularly intertwined with the effects of poverty. This data gives us an opportunity to get a better understanding of that relationship.
This gives you a basic idea of the data. You’ll see Northern California (NoCal) in the gray has a range of poverty levels, but is largely white and is low pollution overall. You’ll notice that the Bay area has low levels of poverty, probably because the cost of living there is so high. You’ll notice that LA has a lot of very non-white, high poverty, high pollution areas. Overall, the most noticeable trends are the correlation of race with poverty and pollution, but no discernible correlation between poverty and pollution.
Parsing these three plots is fun, but we can do better using a 3D visualization. WordPress is giving me a hard time with the technology, so click the image and it’ll redirect you to my UIC page to play with the 3D plot.
What stands out looking at this 3D plot is that the pollution burden is almost entirely correlated with race alone at low levels of pollution. Once the non-white population reaches 30%, the pollution burden scores flatten out and then all three statistics become tightly correlated.
Some early comments and reactions have suggested that these trends are tied to the black urban migration and white flight of the 1950’s. As someone who isn’t a social scientist, I’m hoping this visualization will inform future discussions on that topic. I’ll leave that up to them. The take-away from this brief analysis and visualization should be that the data is complex and a simple linear model would miss some of these subtleties. The other take-away is that 3D visualizations can be very cool and very informative.


Many brands are leery of the conversation that gets started when they open up the social media channel, especially with Twitter leveling the playing field. Who will speak for them now that there are numerous, real-time conversations being started with or without them? How do they listen and engage and successfully build trust with their consumer?
As a brand, it's important to have reviews posted about your products on your site; it not only gives you feedback from buyers but helps convert new sales at the point of purchase. So, if you're not asking the one question a 2003 Harvard Business Review study pointed to as the most important predictor of top-line growth, "Would you recommend this company/product to a friend?," then you're missing out on an opportunity to build brand advocates. Plus, if I'm buying something online I haven't used before, I'll look for those reviews to guide my decision about the product.
With more than 70% of bloggers posting product reviews and many of them now identifying themselves as a "brand ambassador" on their sites, one has to wonder what does this mean? How are they speaking for the brand? Are they a paid staffer? Can I ask them questions about products and get good answers?
Several times in the past, I've facilitated product reviews for brands by matching a blogger to a product. On a few occasions, the brand was not happy that the reviewer posted an honest opinion about the product, following a disclosure policy to remain uninfluenced and give an honest opinion.
Yet, some disclosure policies can leave serious doubt about the authentic voice coming from that reviewer, such as this one that states, "The blogger may receive compensation that can influence posts ... and don't always identify paid posts as such, and any claim on a product review should be verified with the manufacturer." Why would a brand engage a "brand ambassador" when it has policies that are that ambiguous? For that matter, if the brand doesn't want to listen to the reviewer's true experience about its product and encourages positive or neutral posts, how long will it be a viable brand?
No wonder that, when digital moms are researching new products, they're starting to look for user-generated video reviews so they can see the product in action before they decide to buy.
Today's savvy moms want to know that brands have selected their spokespeople based on research done beyond page ranks, that they know what their disclosure policies are, have chosen them for their domain knowledge/expertise on a topic that aligns with the product/service and how their sphere of influence reaches beyond their site, Twitter presence and Facebook page and into their social circles off line (translation: they're more than a reviewer; they're a trusted voice). Most importantly, we want to know that brands will listen to what we're saying about their products and take our feedback seriously.
Don't short-change your brand in the area of building trusted advocates, ambassadors, and relationships. We're looking for authentic voices to follow and engage with. If we don't find them or don't like what we're finding, you'll be in crisis management mode before you know it and be a case study of what not to do at the next social media conference.

I think that you hit the nail on the head when you said there is more to it than just page rank. Like you said, it's about the person and what they can completely bring to the table. But mainly, I think ambassador programs should place their foundations firmly on honesty.
While I haven't been invited to any of the fancy retreats put together by iRobot, Nestle, Campbells, General Mills, etc, I do have a little experience with ambassador programs conducted solely online. When I had the opportunity to become a Purex Insider, one of the first such programs that I had been invited to, I was excited. Yes, it's a product that I would use and could talk about. Unfortunately, it's not my first choice when shopping. It's not fair to the brand or to my readers to become an ambassador when I cannot honestly rave about the product. I declined to be considered knowing that there would be more suitable opportunities later on.
And there were... when invited to be a Tropicana Juicy Insider, I couldn't apply fast enough. It's on the top of my list of orange juices and I've introduced people to it long before becoming part of their ambassador program. I'm a believer in the product and can share honest feedback with my readers about why I love it and purchase it.
As long as companies and agencies put their trust in people who are honest and are truly brand believers, they won't need to worry about negative feedback.
...and I'm certain that someday, I'll get invited to one of those summits... I just hope it's for a brand that I believe in!
Stephanie Piche from Mingle Media TV, March 18, 2010 at 11:10 a.m.
Hi Nicole, thanks for your comments. One thing I'd like to be clear on is that the change of engagement that social marketing brings is to open the conversation and give constructive feedback to the brand - be it how they market, what they are making, what you do and don't like, etc... "Negative" comments aren't always a bad thing, especially if it serves the brand to correct the concern. Take for instance the problem that Toyota customers were experiencing. There were issues with their vehicles, they were reporting problems, but the brand was not listening or reacting fast enough. It took the media to get involved and do lengthy news reports on it and then the government stepped in and then the brand got engaged. Listening to your consumer is crucial in today's market, no matter if you perceive it to be trivial or catastrophic, brand ambassadors should participate in that conversation as well, especially as you are closer to the conversation and represent the brand.
Nicole Brady from SahmReviews.com, March 18, 2010 at 10:45 p.m.
Thanks for the clarification, Stephanie. I totally understand your direction now. During BlogHer in Chicago, I had a chance to meet with Ford and the feedback was awesome. They encouraged us to bring criticism to the table so they could pick our brains. I recall making a comment about how I hated the fact that built-in navigation systems only work when the car is in park and they explained the safety feature behind the matter. I followed with "When my husband is driving, it is perfectly safe for me to enter a new address. The airbags know when there is someone in the passenger seat so why can't the navigation system?" They appreciated the feedback and I thought that was incredible. It is corporate thinking like Ford exhibits that help improve their products in the long run.
I think it will be wonderful to see companies utilize ambassadors to the fullest extent - just as you said, to make note of the positives and the shortcomings!
Thanks again for the great post and for the clarification.
Peter Herring from TTW Systems, June 30, 2010 at 8:25 p.m.
This is a great article, thanks. As a marketer for others who is now putting his money where his mouth is and introducing a new product of my own largely through the social web, it's good to be reminded that starting an honest conversation on the web is akin to starting an honest conversation at a party. If it's truly honest on both sides, there will be give and take, you won't control where it's going (or the other person will excuse themselves to talk to they guy across the room) and if you listen you'll likely learn something useful. That's the nature of dialog. Before the social web took off, the brand was like the actor in the old joke - but enough about me, what did you think of my movie?


This package brings Rsync operations (file transfer and syncronization) to ROS in the form of an actionlib interface. Making it convenient to transfer files from one machine to another using ROS. Progress from transfers is published as action feedback.
An RsyncAction goal could be sent once a robot has reached a certain state. A file (e.g. a logfile or bagfile) could be then be transferred to a remote fileserver for storage.
Rsync is a fast and versatile utllity for file transfer, it is widely used for backups and mirroring, as well as an improved copy command for everyday use. It can copy locally, to/from another host over any remote shell, offering a large number of options that control every aspect of its behavior. It is famous for its delta-transfer algorithm, which reduces the amount of data sent over the network by sending only the differences between the source files and the existing files in the destination.
scripts/rsync_client_example.py, a simple client based on the actionlib_tutorials simple actionlib client.
The server passes all arguments listed in rsync_args to Rsync, although not all of the Rsync arguments have been tested. If you're unfamiliar with RSync, have a look at the manual to see the full list of arguments.
TL;DR The -avz argument works well for copy operations, and -avz --delete-source-files arguments for move operations. The -p argument (Partial Transfer) is particuarly useful for dealing with unreliable (wireless) connections.

Kraft Heinz Co.'s rapid retreat from its surprise $143 billion US bid for Unilever in the face of stiff resistance knocked the Anglo-Dutch company's shares on Monday as investors assessed the impact of the failed approach.
Kraft, which is backed by Warren Buffett and the private equity firm 3G, wanted to buy Unilever as part of its strategy to become a global consumer goods giant by buying competitors and cutting costs and jobs to drive profits.
However, the U.S. food group had not factored in Unilever chief executive Paul Polman dismissing its offer as having no financial or strategic merit and refusing to come to the table.
The vehemence of this response, along with fears of a political backlash, was enough to put off 86-year old Buffett, whose Berkshire Hathaway has a long-held aversion to making hostile bids, sources told Reuters.
"Kraft didn't realize how hostile their approach would be perceived," one source said.
A source close to Kraft said its officials alerted Britain's Business Secretary Greg Clark in a brief call on Friday soon after it made its approach public. Kraft laid out its plan to create a consumer goods behemoth with headquarters in the United States, Britain and the Netherlands and promised to keep Downing Street informed on any developments.
For Kraft, Britain's response was a major concern after Prime Minister Theresa May signalled she would take a more proactive approach to foreign takeovers, sources told Reuters.
May, who had previously singled out Kraft's 2010 acquisition of another British household name, Cadbury Plc, as an example of a deal that should have been blocked, had indicated her government would want to examine the deal if it went ahead, according to a person familiar with the situation.
However, a spokesman for May said on Monday the government had not been involved in Kraft's decision to pull its proposal.
"The issue of the withdrawal from the Unilever deal by Kraft is an issue you should put to Kraft. Number 10 wasn't involved in it," the spokesman told reporters.
"The simple fact is that the bid has been withdrawn so I don't have a view on a bid that doesn't exist."
Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, who used to work at Unilever, had also said he would examine what it would mean for the Netherlands in the "positive and the negative" sense.
Buffett and 3G Capital's Jorge Paulo Lemann, which together own almost 51 per cent of Kraft, had hoped Unilever would be more receptive to its overture, given their success backing brewer Anheuser-Busch InBev on its 79 billion pound takeover of London-based SABMiller last year.
The SABMiller deal — which ranked as the consumer industry's biggest-ever merger and the biggest-ever takeover of a UK listed company — had given Buffett and Lemann the confidence to pursue a bigger and riskier bet, one source said.
Unilever's London-listed shares, which jumped 13 per cent to a record high when the bid was made public on Friday, fell 7.8 per cent to give it a market value of 100 billion pounds after Kraft said in a statement on Sunday it had "amicably agreed" to withdraw its proposal.
The company's Dutch listed shares finished down more than five per cent and analysts at Macquarie said Unilever's stock should not give up all its gains following the approach, although some shareholders thought that another deal was unlikely.
"Unilever's share price is still performing remarkably well as I suppose the argument that these stocks were cheap versus borrowing costs is still valid," a shareholder with one of the biggest 20 holdings in Unilever stock told Reuters.
"A takeover at a later stage seems unlikely to me as Unilever will build their defences and sharpen their focus on profitability," the shareholder added.
A combination of the two firms would have been the largest acquisition of a U.K.-based company, Thomson Reuters data showed and would have brought together some of the world's best known brands, from toothpaste to ice creams.
While it would also have combined Kraft's strength in the United States with Unilever's in Europe and Asia, it would also have faced a potentially huge cultural clash.
In 2013, 3G, which made its name in corporate America by orchestrating large debt-laden acquisitions and then slashing costs, teamed up with billionaire investor Buffett to acquire Heinz and then bought Kraft two years later.

I am 13 weeks and showing already, is this normal. I was fairly skinny before does this matter?
I am also 13 weeks, and people in the community are actually asking me when I am due. I look at least 5 months and have gained over 10 pounds right in my belly and breasts. This is my first pregnancy, and I was also thin before - a size 8. Now I can't even wear a size 12, so I am wearing maternity clothes. I have a "pooch" above my belly button and a separate one below it, so the belly hasn't come together in the middle yet, but it's pretty rounded.


A corrections officer has been arrested in a hit-and-run that killed a prospective New Jersey legislative candidate and the Jersey City Republican Party chairman who was a longtime Gov. Chris Christie friend.
Jersey City Republican Party Chairman Russell Maffei, 57, and Marie Tauro, 80 were struck Sunday night while crossing a street outside a diner in North Bergen.
Hudson County Sheriff Frank Schillari says Michael Hansen was arrested for the crime when authorities recovered the vehicle early Monday.
The 38-year-old North Bergen man is charged with leaving the scene of an accident that resulted in death.
It wasn't known if Hansen, a Hudson County corrections officer, has retained an attorney as he is being held at the Hudson County Correctional Facility where he worked.
County GOP chairman Jose Arango told The Jersey Journal that Maffei and Tauro were meeting with other Republicans to plan a strategy for the June primaries.
The victims had left the Coachhouse Diner in North Bergen around 8pm when they were hit on Kennedy Boulevard and Paterson Plank Road.
Surveillance footage moments before the horrific accident shows Maffei walking alongside Tauro before a car slams into them both.
Witnesses told authorities that Maffei and Tauro were struck so hard they were knocked out of their shoes, WNBC reported.
They were rushed to a nearby hospital, but both died a few hours later.

Gov. Chris Christie issued a heartfelt statement about their tragic deaths on Monday afternoon.
'Mary Pat and I were deeply saddened and disturbed to learn of the tragic deaths of Russell Maffei and Marie Tauro in what police are reporting to be a hit-and-run incident in North Bergen last night,' Christie said.
'More than just a long-time Republican colleague, Russ was a dear friend who I had known for many years and who I could always rely upon.
The two political leaders were also remembered by Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop for their passionate work in the community.
'Both great people, both people that Jersey City and their community, and both people that are going to be missed,' Fulop said.


A Mount Rushmore that never was - What happened in Washington?
They were going to become the face of their sports. They were going to win titles, become stars and marketing studs. And they were going to do it in the same city: Washington. In 2012, each of the four major sports teams in the nation's capital featured a young star -- with three of them drafted first overall. The one who was drafted second was the most hyped.
Robert Griffin III (Redskins), Bryce Harper (Nationals), Alex Ovechkin (Capitals) and John Wall (Wizards) would become the future Mount Rushmore of Washington sports. They resonated nationally -- Harper and Griffin in particular. This quartet was young, talented and here in D.C.
"We came out of one of the worst periods we've had in this town. I remember doing a blog about how that might have been the worst sports year in local history," said Andy Pollin, who has been a sports talk show host for 27 years in Washington, first at Team980 and now at 106.7 The Fan.
"Hope and change" was the theme of another famous D.C. resident at the time -- President Barack Obama. It applied to the sports teams, too. To borrow another political phrase, there was hope this group would Make Washington Great Again.
"I thought it was the beginning of a new era," Pollin said. "You look around and they're all young stars and you said, 'Wow.'"
Now you have to ask: What happened?
When Harper signed with the Phillies, he became the second member of that group to leave. Griffin did so -- but not by his own volition, as the Redskins cut him three years ago. Wall will be sidelined for nearly another year thanks to a ruptured Achilles tendon.
It's not that Wall or Harper were bad -- and Griffin had a standout rookie season. Harper is a six-time All-Star and was a National League MVP; Wall is a five-time All-Star. But the Nationals never won a playoff series in Harper's seven seasons, and the Wizards haven't won 50 games with Wall. They lost three times in the Eastern Conference semifinals and once in the first round.
Ovechkin, at least, has lived up to expectations and helped deliver a title to Washington last spring. And it was for the Capitals, who had a reputation of excellent regular seasons and playoff flops. When this era began, the Capitals might not have been the team many anticipated would deliver the most.
"I was always skeptical because of all the [past] disappointments," said Eric Bickel, one of the radio hosts of The Sports Junkies. "I never thought they would be the ones to break through. I thought it was too ingrained in their culture to just lose. I always thought [Ovechkin] was a superstar, but was the [Charles] Barkley of the NHL. That was completely wrong, too."
How it started: Harper's reputation preceded him like few others in the history of pro sports. In 2009, he was on the cover of Sports Illustrated -- as a 16-year-old. In 2010, he was the top overall pick in the draft, the surest of sure things. Two years later, on April 28, 2012, he made his major league debut on the biggest of big stages (at Dodger Stadium) and didn't disappoint, going 1-for-3 with an RBI double.
Despite being just 19, Harper was named an All-Star and won the NL Rookie of the Year. That same season, he also stole home after being intentionally beaned by Phillies hurler Cole Hamels, and when asked if he would celebrate his home run in Toronto by having a beer (because of the lower legal age), Harper -- who is a practicing Mormon and doesn't drink alcohol -- uttered the now infamous line, "That's a clown question, bro."
Perhaps most importantly that year, Harper helped lead the Nats to their first division title since moving to D.C. in 2005 -- and their first playoff appearance.
How it played out: To say that it was all downhill for Harper in Washington after his standout rookie season would be inaccurate. But it certainly was a roller-coaster ride.
On the upside, there was his historic 2015 season, the one in which he hit .330 with 42 home runs and was named MVP, becoming the youngest unanimous winner ever. Not to mention six All-Star appearances. And four playoff berths. And last summer's rousing Home Run Derby victory at Nats Park.
But there were plenty of downslopes too, including the ugly incident that punctuated that MVP campaign, when Harper was choked in the dugout by Washington closer Jonathan Papelbon, who felt that his teammate was loafing it on the basepaths.
Ultimately, though, it was Harper's inconsistent production (see: 2016, 2018) and his team's failure to win a single playoff series -- not necessarily in that order -- that left folks wondering just how much energy (and money) the Nationals would spend trying to retain their franchise face.
How it started: The hysteria began long before he officially joined the Redskins. Less than a month before the draft at a card show in Northern Virginia, 15 minutes from Redskins Park, Griffin sat inside an expo center, signing autographs and meeting fans for more than four hours. Hundreds of people lined up, some in shirts that read "RG3 in DC." Others wore a shirt with Griffin's face on the "Hope" T-shirt that had been used for President Obama.
One fan in line wore Superman socks, like Griffin. Others already had Redskins jerseys with his name and future No. 10. Redskins fans clearly were excited about Griffin, the Heisman Trophy winner out of Baylor, coming to Washington. He truly represented hope for a franchise that had produced little since winning a Super Bowl 21 years earlier.
Griffin had the charisma to win any news conference; fans swooned. On the air, Bickel referred to him as "RGesus." The future, for a change, looked good for the Redskins.
How it played out: Griffin was as advertised his rookie season, throwing for 3,200 yards and rushing for 815. He made the Pro Bowl. Then-Redskins coach Mike Shanahan often referred to him as a potential transformative player.
But then came: a torn ACL in a playoff loss to Seattle, an offseason of passive-aggressive comments, a tough season, anonymous quotes bashing him, a coaching change, more injuries and more comments. By 2015, he was no longer starting. By 2016, he was in Cleveland.
It was a shocking fall from the heights Griffin reached in 2012. On the night they beat Dallas in the regular-season finale to clinch the NFC East, the Redskins were giddy. One member of the front office stood outside the locker room and said of Griffin, "He's going to get a lot of people paid."
That didn't happen. A player who once appeared to be generational lasted just four seasons in Washington.
And when Griffin cleared out his locker following a 2015 playoff loss, he left only a poem taped to the front of it -- Dr. Kent M. Keith's "The Paradoxical Commandments."
It reads, in part, "What you spend years creating others could destroy overnight ... Forgive them anyway ... Be kind anyway ... It was never between you and them anyway."
How it started: Ovechkin arrived on the NHL scene like a Russian tank, rumbling over opponents while also possessing an unparalleled offensive arsenal. The first overall pick in the 2004 NHL draft, he won the Rookie of the Year award two years later -- outshining the prodigious Canadian teen Sidney Crosby, sparking a career-long rivalry between the two -- with a 52-goal, 106-point season.
Those numbers would peak at 65 goals and 112 points in 2007-08, when Ovechkin led the Capitals back to the playoffs for the first time in four years to earn him the first of his three Hart Trophy wins as NHL MVP. He was becoming a star on a global scale, but his impact locally was just as impressive: With a rock star's swagger and electrifying play, Ovechkin led the "Rock The Red" movement that increased the fan bandwagon for the moribund franchise exponentially. Though the Capitals averaged just 13,900 spectators in his rookie season, they were selling out every night by 2011-12 to the tune of 18,506 fans per game in Washington.
But by then, Ovechkin and the Capitals were defined by something else: playoff failure. Washington had racked up three semifinal losses and would add a third quarterfinal loss in 2012-13. Ovechkin was a point-per-game player in the postseason, but he shouldered much of the blame -- in particular when it came to the Capitals' inability to win in Game 7, going 2-5 in them.
In less than 48 hrs, #Redskins draft RG3, #Nats recall Bryce Harper, Ovi & #Caps take out def. champs, & Wall leads Wiz to 6th straight W.
How it played out: After two seasons of low goal totals in the regular season from 2010 to 2012, Ovechkin recaptured the magic and won five of the next six Rocket Richard trophies as the league's top goal scorer. He captured the Hart Trophy again in 2013. He has 653 goals in 1,070 games, ranking him 14th in NHL history at age 33 and giving him a statistical chance of catching Wayne Gretzky (894 goals) for the most in league history.
None of that would matter if Ovechkin and the Capitals hadn't found playoff success. After 13 seasons of flops and fiascos, they defeated Crosby and the Penguins for the first time in the postseason, won the Eastern Conference and dispatched the Vegas Golden Knights in five games to win the 2018 Stanley Cup championship. Ovechkin earned the Conn Smythe as playoff MVP for his postseason-best 15 goals in 24 games.
What happened next will never be forgotten in the history of D.C. sports: several days of drunken merriment as the Capitals held a celebration on the National Mall and paraded the Stanley Cup through the District. That included Ovechkin doing "snow angels" in a fountain in Georgetown. The struggles of 2012 were a distant memory. Ovechkin did something no D.C. athlete in the four major sports had done in decades: He brought a championship home.
How it started: Wall received a hero's welcome on his first day in Washington. The Wizards rolled a red carpet outside of the Verizon Center to greet the No. 1 overall pick on the day after the 2010 NBA draft. The mayor declared that warm Friday in late June as "John Wall Day." The organization played video greetings for Wall from local sports luminaries, including Ovechkin and Stephen Strasburg.
In the ensuing seasons, Wall generally lived up to the hype. His size, elite speed and playmaking caused matchup nightmares for opposing backcourts.
Wall's exploits helped the Wizards move past the Gilbert Arenas-Javaris Crittenton locker room gun altercation and back to respectability. Washington won three playoff series with Wall running the show; the point guard was an All-Star for five straight seasons.
One of the enduring images of the Wall-Wizards partnership? Washington trailed Boston by two in the closing seconds of Game 6 of their 2017 second-round playoff series when Wall knocked down a contested 3-pointer to force a Game 7. He jumped on the scorer's table and tugged on his Wizards jersey in front of an adoring home crowd to celebrate the moment.
How it played out: Two and a half months after hitting that shot, Wall signed a four-year, $170 million supermax extension. The contract kicks in next season.
At the time, the extension seemed like a prudent move for the franchise: Washington would continue to try to build a winner around the backcourt of Wall and Bradley Beal. The alternative -- potentially alienating Wall, losing him to another franchise and starting over -- didn't seem viable.
But the calculus for the Wizards changed dramatically last month. Wall, already sidelined for the remainder of the season following surgery to repair a heel ailment, ruptured his left Achilles tendon after slipping and falling in his home. He's expected to be sidelined until late in the 2019-20 season.
The unfortunate injury triggered a trade of young star Otto Porter Jr. -- something ownership was opposed to prior to Wall's fall -- and might force the Wizards into a complete teardown in the next 18 months.
No matter how things play out in the coming months, Wall always will be revered in Washington for his off-court generosity and on-court contributions. But the franchise and its fan base now have to wonder if he'll ever regain the athleticism he has relied on for the past nine years.


How should you dress for a job interview? Many people do not take dress code question seriously. Some think that they are so qualified, that it doesn't matter if they wear proper attire - the employer will hire them no matter what.
And I do in fact know a few people who get hired no matter what they wear to a job interview. But they are really geniuses in what they do, and employers could feel that instantly during job interview. So what should majority of people who are not geniuses, do? Right - respect the dress code!
As a rule of thumb, proper dress for job interviews should be on the same level as the person you are interviewing with. Come overdress and you could make the interviewer uncomfortable. Come under-dressed - and you make an impression as a little sloppy.
There is practically no way to know what your interviewer will wear. Therefore the best way to find out how to dress is to check what people wear at the company you are going to interview in.
Come close to the building a few days in advance in the morning or during lunchtime and watch what people who come in and out wear, so you get the idea what their company dress code might be. Or you could simply ask the person who calls you what their dress code is!
Take into account the nature of the job, and the level of responsibilities. For example, if you are looking for an entry position, dressing for job interviews into Armani suit or a Prada dress might not be appropriate.
If you are interviewing for an entry level position in McDonald's, you could feel pretty confident going in a shirt and grey or black pants, without burdening yourself with a tie or a blazer. Do not, however, forget to remove all the piercings!
If you are applying for an executive position, the dress code requires that you wear more expensive suits or dresses than when interviewing for administrative positions.
If you, like majority of job seekers, fall in the middle category, it's a good idea to always have available at least one nice inexpensive business suit - which is in most cases a proper dress for job interviews.
For men, it should be in black, grey or brown color. That could be ideal for most situations. If you belong to a "creative" profession, for example, you are a web designer or a DJ on a radio, you could go a little more creative with the colors or type of suits, but do not overdo that!
You could wear a fancy shirt and even jeans, but if you put on a t-shirt with a portrait of your favorite actor, it would be too distracting for your interviewer.
Women should dress for job interview slightly more conservatively than the accepted "normal" is. Cleavage and open shoulders are definitely a no-no, unless you are interviewing for a lingerie model position.
You could wear black, grey, brown, or even beige or blue business suit, or a strict business dress. Red, pink and yellow are a No.
When you dress for a job interview, you should never neglect shoes! They should go with your total "ensemble".
Proper attire for job interviews for women - medium high heels, color matching your business suit, or black.
For men - black or brown shoes, no tassels, lace or other decorations!

It is an all-too-common tale... A school, university, or hospital embarks on an ambitious plan to create a new center, or program of services or training to address unmet or emerging needs. Maybe it is inspired by grateful parents, a visionary donor, enthusiastic legislators, or committed advocates. Maybe it is a university-based training program, or a hospital-based treatment center. In any case, a press release to announce a new gift or grant or legislation probably trumpets the organization's aspirations... an inspiring story of local efforts to close gaps in care or lead innovations in training or translate emerging research into treatment breakthroughs.
What is likely to happen next? Sadly, not much. Perhaps the program cannot find a qualified leader, or settles on someone with lots of ambition or ideas but little experience and even less support. Perhaps the program invests in research that vaguely promises to transform treatment, but without any viable plan except to keep kicking that promise down to the road. Perhaps the program invests in a gleaming new facility that they then hesitate to formally dedicate because the promised services cannot yet launch or the research breakthroughs have yet to materialize.
The momentum for true transformation is lost within 1 to 2 years, or maybe even before the launch itself. All the program can realistically hope for is a modest expansion of services or training, or narrowly focused research that might generate publications and another grant to the benefit of the researcher but no one else. And while the program will also hope that no one remembers the promises made when the initiative was launched, the donors, legislators, and advocates who fueled the initiative are no fools. Attempts to re-kindle enthusiasm for future ASD initiatives are quietly snuffed by whispers of past failures to deliver. Gaps in care are largely untouched, or maybe are even greater than before, spurred ironically by the enthusiasm originally generated when the new initiative was first announced.
This story can be told at countless sites across the country. Why? It is not for a lack of science: there are many promising practices we have yet to fully exploit. It is not for a lack of front-line faculty, educators, or clinicians: universities are churning out new professionals with better training every day. In most cases, it is not even for a lack of funding, because of the commitments made by generous donors. And it is certainly not for a lack of need: the gaps in even the most basic care are well-documented on this site and elsewhere. It occurs because of another kind of gap, the gap between ideas and implementation, between vague aspirations and a detailed plan, between those with the ambition to dream and those with the experience and commitment to deliver.
Why haven't we already heard about the many programs that have already failed on the launchpad? Program improvements and transformation - or the failure to do so - often unfold slowly over a period of several years, and so are more difficult to closely track. Many times, the goals and timeline set for a promised expansion or improvement are vague, making such tracking difficult. Sadly, we lack examples of successful expansion and improvement. When examples are found, the peer-reviewed scientific literature pays scant attention to them. And ultimately, there are few mechanisms to truly hold the leader or the parent organization of a failed project accountable.
And we have limited opportunities to learn from our mistakes. Most individuals and programs have one shot at successfully implementing major program expansion related to ASD, because of the long timeline, significant resources, and high stakes involved. They are much more likely to bury embarrassing mistakes than try again. And funders of these efforts are equally complicit in burying these embarrassments, and will surely think twice before supporting comparable efforts in the future.
In the pieces linked below, I describe three strategies for closing this gap and for successfully launching new programs of services and training. These all draw on programs I have led, worked directly with, or have closely followed.
Carefully evaluate the program's true potential for growth. Is the goal to simply grow incrementally by adding new expertise or capacity to existing services or training? Or is the program more ambitious, seeking to create new types of services or dramatically expand capacity and, if so, do they anticipate all of the resources and preparation they will need?
Identify the kind of research that can guide your programs' growth Research on outcomes and service gaps is clearly relevant; research on ASD's possible causes has proven less so.
Consider what kind of leader do you need given your goals, and be realistic about who are you really likely to find. How do you build on the expertise or experience candidates are likely to bring?
Taken together, these strategies can help you create a timeline that can ensure rapid gains. To illustrate, I contrast more incremental expansion and improvement with true program innovation and transformation, using examples of the launch of university-based teacher training and transition programs, and a hospital-based multidisciplinary treatment center. Together, this information can help funders of new programs to catch problems before the launch, to guide adjustments during the countdown or initial ascent or, in the case of a failure to launch, de-construct the problems in preparation for a subsequent attempt.
True program innovation and transformation is very different from more incremental growth. See the difference in detailed examples of hospital and university-based programs of services and training.
How do we draw a straight line from research to implementation to impact when helping programs of services and training to grow and improve? Some kinds of research can be critical, and others less so.
Is your program really ready to grow?
Established programs of services and training may hesitate to explore new approaches, embrace sobering feedback from consumers, forge new partnerships with the community, or dedicate the resources needed to truly transform.
Anticipate the kind of leadership, resources, and preparation needed, and you can quickly begin to transform. If not, you will soon fall behind and must scale back your ambitions. This countdown timeline helps you to plan a successful launch.
Problems with finding the right leader can begin even before the position is posted. But carefully match the specific qualities of a candidate with the goals of the proposed program and other supports available, and you salvage your launch.

The nature around Nuuk is dominated by rough and rocky landscape. Look to the north and you will see the iconic snow covered mountaintop of Sermitsiaq island from almost everywhere in town. If you look to the west you will see the mountain of Store Malene and just next to it the little sister Lille Malene, in their mother tounge Ukkusissat and Quassussuaq. Looking to the east you will see the smoother landscape of the Nordland, which is guarding Nuuk from the North Atlantic Ocean.
Hiking around Store Malene and Lille Malene, are popular activities for the locals. Hiking to the top of Store Malene is a popular activity in summer and now ice-climbing tours are also available in wintertime. Lille Malene and its surrounding valleys make up a great recreational area for locals both in winter and summer. There different marked trails leading to the top and to some lovely lakes in the summer. In winter children and adults have fun around the two ski lifts on the mountainside.
Explore the wild, vast and wonderful nature of Greenland, when venturing into the Nuuk fjord system. Deep into the veins of fjord you can visit abandoned settlements, go fishing, explore ancient Inuit ruins and retracting glaciers, in the presence of cold arctic winds and wildlife. The city offers a wide range of excursions, regarding guided tours by boat, helicopter or by foot.
Nuuk offers the best opportunity to experience old traditions perfectly entwined with the twenty-first century.
Qooqqut is a small abandoned settlement about 43km from Nuuk, Greenland's capital. Surrounded by impressive mountains, it is a wonderful place to relax and take some time out to explore part of the remote backcountry of the Nuuk Fjord.
Its surrounding waters are one of the best places in the Nuuk Fjord to catch Red Fish (a local delicacy that is very popular in Greenland), and several of the tours from Nuuk (click on the "Tours" tab above) offer you the chance to catch your own fish and have them prepared by professional chefs in the 5-star restaurant: Qooqqut Nuan.

Pakudha Kaccāyana was an Indian teacher who lived around the 6th century BCE, contemporaneous with Mahavira and the Buddha.
According to Pakudha, there are seven eternal "elements": Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Joy, Sorrow and Life. Pakudha further asserted that these elements do not interact with one another.
"'...[T]here are these seven substances — unmade, irreducible, uncreated, without a creator, barren, stable as a mountain-peak, standing firm like a pillar — that do not alter, do not change, do not interfere with one another, are incapable of causing one another pleasure, pain, or both pleasure and pain. Which seven? The earth-substance, the liquid-substance, the fire-substance, the wind-substance, pleasure, pain, and the soul as the seventh. These are the seven substances — unmade, irreducible, uncreated, without a creator, barren, stable as a mountain-peak, standing firm like a pillar — that do not alter, do not change, do not interfere with one another, and are incapable of causing one another pleasure, pain, or both pleasure and pain.
"'And among them there is no killer nor one who causes killing, no hearer nor one who causes hearing, no cognizer nor one who causes cognition. When one cuts off [another person's] head, there is no one taking anyone's life. It is simply between the seven substances that the sword passes.'"
In the Brahmajala Sutta (DN 1), theories such as Pakudha's are labeled as "Atomic theory" (Pali/Skt.: anu vaada) and "eternalism" (sassatavādā).
Empedocles is known as Pakudha Kaccayana of Greece.
^ Bhaskar (1972).Rhys Davids & Stede (1921-25), p. 700, entry for "Sassata" defines sassata-vāda as: "an eternalist, eternalism."

What type of team will the Kelowna Rockets have this season?
General Manager Bruce Hamilton is optimistic.
"When you look at (Rourke) Chartier, (Nick) Merkley and our overage guys like (Tyson) Ballie, those kind of players. Throw in young (Dillon) Dube now, this team will score some goals. We will be really solid in goal".
Hamilton isn't ruling out acquiring a veteran defenceman this season with the loss of captain Madison Bowey and overager Cole Martin.
"I don't anticipate us having many problems on defence. All those young guys that will have to play, played lots with the older guys, so we are excited about our team. At this time of the year all teams think they have a chance to win and that's important to start the season that way", Hamilton added.
The Rockets are trying to become the first WHL team since the Kamloops (94-95) Blazers to win back-to-back league titles.
The Kelowna Rockets will be wearing commemorative 25th anniversary jerseys when they take to the ice this fall.
The Rockets unveiled the new look during a noon hour press conference on Monday.
Majority owner Bruce Hamilton likes the new jerseys, which hearkens back to the franchise coming into the Western Hockey League as the Tacoma Rockets in 1991.
"We are pretty consistent the way we operate our team. Those old jerseys are pretty special to me and so I was strongly pushed for us to go back to them this year".
The colour scheme remains the same.
A twenty-fifth anniversary patch is located at the bottom left side of the jersey and shoulder patches, which were a mainstay on the old Tacoma Rockets jerseys from in the early 90's, is also a prominent part of the new look.
Kelowna Rockets forward Tanner Wishnowski can't wait for training camp to start.
The 18 year-old missed all of last season with a concussion, but is now healthy enough to take body contact.
"I have to choose my hits. I have to keep my head up basically. I can't play different and I don't think I will. I'm not afraid out there. I think I will do fine and I'm not to worried about it."
Wishnowski was an integral part of helping the Okanagan Midget Rockets to a birth in the Telus Cup in 2014 where he was named the top forward.
"I am really in good shape now, so I hope to come out strong. It will take me a little bit to get used to the speed a bit because I haven't played in a game since the Telus Cup", Wishnowski added.
Many names were bantered around on who would be the new head coach of the Kelowna Rockets. Many high profile coaches were mentioned to replace Dan Lambert, who resigned in July to join the NHL's Buffalo Sabres.
That said, a virtual unknown in Western Hockey League circles is the new head coach of the defending league champion.
Let me introduce 34 year-old Brad Ralph.
Name sound familiar? Likely not. Ralph has been the head coach of the East Coast Hockey League's Idaho Steelheads for the last four seasons and has been mighty successful.
Ralph was born in Richmond, Ontario and played his junior hockey with the OHL's Oshawa Generals. Ya, that is the same team that just beat the Rockets in the Memorial Cup final. Don't hold that against him.
Ralph played just one game in the NHL, suiting up for the Phoenix Coyotes (now Arizona), the team that drafted him in the second round in 1999.

Ariana Grande knew she would marry her fiance Pete Davidson years ago when they met on an episode of 'Saturday Night Live'.
Ariana Grande knew she would marry Pete Davidson years before they started dating.
The 'No Tears Left To Cry' hitmaker appeared on 'The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon' to celebrate the release of her fourth album 'Sweetener' and she discussed the inspiration behind the track 'Pete Davidson', which Ariana is believed to have wrote just a week after they started dating.
Ariana, 25, talked about the beginnings of her romance with Pete, 24, and admits she knew he would go on to be his husband when they first met in March 2016 when she hosted an episode of 'Saturday Night Live' - the sketch show that the comedian stars on.
She said: ''Well, we met on 'SNL' like two, three years ago whenever that was, we've like never exchanged numbers or anything - we weren't even like friends for a long time.
''But I had the biggest crush in the world on him the whole time, like forever my friends used to make fun of me for all that stuff.
Ariana's comments come in the same week that Pete revealed he knew he wanted to make the pop star his wife the first day he met her.
In an interview with GQ America magazine, he said: ''The day I met her, I was like, 'Hey, I'll marry you tomorrow.' She was calling my bluff.


My brother got a ticket last late Oct for disobey stop sign a block away from our home in Stouffville. (within the municipality York Region) . It was a snowing midnight and there was snow on the road. He got pulled over right after a stop sign right turn and being told he didn't stop completely and fined for $110 and 3 demerit points. The prosecutor said they can bring it to 2 points and half the fine.
From the recollection of my brother, he said the cop may have been following him from the back for 300-400 metres closely without turning on the cruiser's headlights. It was a 50 km zone and he wasn't sure it was a cruise at all.
He didn't stop completely in front of the sign worrying someone might have rare-ended him, but he did stop beyond the sign at some point and then yield at right turn.
1) My brother isn't in Canada for 10 months now. It has been adjourned once in June by my mother. I didn't aware of it until recently this matter come in my hand. The case is going to be on trial in 2 weeks and I have no disclosure. Is it too late for everything? What should I do next?
2) Should I pay the fine and settle with them? My brother isn't coming back to Canada in a years or so. Is the insurance going to increase when he come back?
3) Should I go on a trial, my brother isn't going to be present in the court room. What is the proper procedure?
4) In case of the the cop doesn't show up that day, how do I know?
5) English isn't my first language although I can understand them fine. Should I request a translator just in case?
6) and finally, what is the chance of winning and the possible strategy?
5. It may be too late to request for interpreter for the next court day, but if an adjournment is granted, fill out the paper requesting interpreter for the next trial while you are at the court house. If interpreter does not show up charge likely will be dropped.
6. Chance of winning and strategy, read www.ticketcombat.com.
If no stop line, use the curb.
I've just found out that the location, "at street A & street B", written on the offence notice that was given to my brother is actually one intersection away from the actual stop sign street A & street C.
There is no stop sign at street A & B.
The court notice, however, simply states "at street A".
does this count as a fatal error?
According ticketcombat site, wrong location is not a fatal error. It will probably be clarified if the cop made a mistake or not once you get his note thru disclosure.
If he made mistake in his note, most likely he would read out from his note the wrong location at which your bro did not stop on the witness stand, then you can use the error to discredit him during cross-examination by showing the court the picture which has no stop sign at the location he claimed your bro did not stop. So take the pictures of no stop sign at the wrong location in the direction your bro was travelling.
Use instant polaroid camera for easy admission of evidence.


Last Saturday night I, with friends, raised the (admittedly drunken) topic of browsing music by year. I voiced how browsing albums and releases by year can be enjoyable because it both evokes memories of that time. What I wondered aloud at, though, was exactly which year should be used to tag an album: the original year of a given album, or the release date of a re-release?
Why store year in MP3s?
I often add music to my digital playlist according to year. If, for instance, I want to bring back memories of University, or college, or when I started working, I'll queue up some albums from around that year. Just hearing the music has a way of transporting us back to that time and place.
Browsing by year is also useful to study an artist's or even genre's development. If your music player allows, try choosing an artist, then sort their albums by year. Listen through their work and see how their sound develops. It can also be instructive to compare the development of the sound to other artists for the same years. Similarly, tracing the development of a genre through the years can be interesting. For instance, compare early rap recordings to the emergence of Gangsta rap, then onto the emergence of rap as a popular, mainstream music genre.
First, consider re-masters and re-issues. There can be a long time period between these. Re-masters of The Beatles albums continue to be released and probably will be for a long time yet. While you may want to use year information as a proxy for musical style, what if the first time you were introduced to an album was when it was re-released? The two aims of consolidating albums by historically-led style and by your memories of the time you heard the album become contradictory. A best case solution would be to store both types of information and browse by the different types as needed.
Then there're compilations. In most cases, year of release is how you'd want to browse these albums. Sometimes, however, you may want to list individual tracks by their own year of release. For instance, a compilation for a given decade will have tracks through the entire decade with differing sounds and memories as a result. To be able to browse these individual tracks would be useful. So, again, it would be useful to store both types of information.
These different possibilities mean there's plenty of scope for inconsistencies to be introduced. Some re-mastered albums could be tagged with original release year, for instance, and some with the remastered release year. Overriding this, however, is the realisation that your music player is king. Ultimately, if your music player doesn't allow browsing by both original year and re-release year it's pointless adding this information to your collection.
Years are stored in your digital music files, so the mechanics of changing or adding year information can be performed with a tagger. bliss allows you to change the years of albums too, in the album detail screen.
But before you start hacking your music files, you need to decide a consistent theme for your year information. Without the consistent theme the information will be misleading. Furthermore, you need to know your music player. If your music player only allows browsing by one particular type of year then you will have to use that, and your theme must be mandated as such.
Another thing to consider, for compilation albums, is whether your album might be split if you specify different years for different tracks. The number of albums where you'd want to do this is likely to be relatively low, but it's still an inconvenience for the album to be split, so it's worth checking out.
FLAC and OGG users therefore don't have much option other than to choose a meaning for their YEAR tag and be consistent with it throughout the collection.
Once your tags are chosen, normally you must rescan your collection within your music player, and from there your newly categorised albums should be browseable by year.
Browsing by year is both informative and enjoyable. Just make sure your year tags are consistent!

Drawing on the revelatory results of a landmark study, William Damon -- one of the country's leading writers on the lives of young people, whose book Greater Expectations won the Parents' Choice Award -- brilliantly investigates the most pressing issue in the lives of youth today: why so many young people are "failing to launch" -- living at home longer, lacking career motivation, struggling to make a timely transition into adulthood, and not yet finding a life pursuit that inspires them.
His groundbreaking study shows that about one-fifth of youth today are thriving -- highly engaged in activities they love and developing a clear sense of what they want to do with their lives -- but approximately one-fourth are still rudderless, at serious risk of never fulfilling their potential. The largest portion are teetering on the brink, in need of guidance to help them move forward: some are "dabblers" who pursue strings of disconnected interests with no real commitment; others, "dreamers" who have no realistic plans or understanding of what success will require.
What makes the difference? Damon shows that the key ingredient for the highly engaged is that they have developed a clear sense of purpose in their lives that motivates them and gives them direction. Based on in-depth interviews, he takes readers inside the minds of the disengaged and drifting kids and exposes their confusion and anxiety about what they should do with their lives. He then offers compelling portraits of the young people who are thriving and identifies the nine key factors that have made the difference for them, presenting simple but powerful methods that parents and all adults can and must employ in order to cultivate that energized sense of purpose in young people that will launch them on the path to a deeply satisfying and productive life.


How do you manage the risk in a project? The default is a risk management program that's essentially out of band. The project and the risk management are separate tracks, often staffed with different people.
The first problem this creates is synchronization - making sure that changes in the project are reflected in the risk management plan and vice versa. The next problem is that there are two different groups of people with diverse objectives - and only one of them is focused on a successful project.
The probability management solution to this is to bake the risks into the plan with everything else. This way, there's one plan, one process, one team, one manager executing the project.
What does that mean? It means that we include risk events and responses as elements of the plan along with the tasks and milestones.
It means we assume the risks and put them anywhere in the workflow that they can have an impact. The only difference between ordinary elements and risk elements is that the risk elements include a probability filter.
I have an Excel spreadsheet with a plan snippet to go with this discussion. You may want to fire it up. It's at http://smpro.ca/ProbMan/snipBakeRiskIn.xlsm. It shows a small piece of a development plan with the possibility of a strike or lockout that could cause work to stop for some period of time. It's a little busy because I've crammed everything into one sheet that would normally be spread over three or four.
We give each risk element two sample distributions: one for the probability of the event, the other for the time impact if the risk event occurs.
We carry the probability in a random binary distribution - all 1s and 0s. If the number of trials is N, and the probability is P, we'll have P*N ones in the distribution. We'll also shuffle the distribution with a random permutation index.
For the second distribution, we use a sample distribution that assumes the risk event has occured. The uncertain variable is the incremental time the response (or sitting on your hands delay) adds to the workflow. In the model, this distribution sets the size of each strike/lockout bar, when it's there.
This way, we're not concerned with the PxI calculation issue. A 25% probability of winning a million dollars never delivers $250,000. It delivers a million dollars or nothing. In our simulation, the same principle applies. For any one scenario, workflow is either impacted or not, and the probability affects how often it's impacted, not the severity of the impact. This puts the risk calculation where it belongs - in the frequency, just as it is in the real world.
In the model, the strike/lockout risk affects the time distribution of Milestone A, shown in the weeks to finish pChart. The lower spinner changes the probability assumption, with a corresponding effect on both the Gantt chart and the pChart.
One of the things probability management handles especially well is the case of a risk that has impacts in multiple workflows, possibly in many different plans. A strike or lockout could well affect plans and projections in a variety of company divisions. It's important that, when division plans are aggregated into a corporate projection, the strike versus no-strike scenarios are coordinated. The results would be misleading if, for a particular scenario, Division A's numbers assumed a strike while Division B's didn't.
The probability management solution is for a corporate source to send a DIST of the strike/lockout sample distribution to all the divisions. All the plans and projections will use it without permuting it, synchronizing all of the division-level results. This makes sure that, for a particular scenario, all the divisions and the aggregate model agree on the risk event either happening or not.
This approach lends itself to a risk management strategy that's global in scope and local in application. It puts the concerns and capabilities exactly where they should be for optimum effectiveness.
I've added a software development model with an instance of integrated risk management to the SDXL site.


In a 2015 interview, did he reveal his secret plan?
GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump has repeatedly said he has a secret and "foolproof" plan for defeating ISIS. This is not to be confused with his "detailed" public plan for crushing ISIS released by his campaign. In that public plan, Trump states, "My administration will aggressively pursue joint and coalition military operations to crush and destroy ISIS." (That happens to be President Barack Obama's current plan.) Trump's public plan does not say anything about sending US combat troops into Iraq and Syria to engage ISIS. In fact, it includes no proposals related to the level of US troops in the region. But in a 2015 interview with Fox News host Bill O'Reilly on the day Trump entered the Republican presidential contest, the celebrity mogul indicated that he would deploy US combat forces to battle ISIS directly in order to grab oil fields that would then be handed over to US companies.
Trump: Take back the oil. Once you go over and take back that oil, they have nothing.
O'Reilly: But how do you take it back?
Trump: You have to go in. You have to go in.
Trump: Well, you bomb the hell out of them, and then you encircle it, and then you go in.
This was a clear signal that Trump favored sending in US ground troops to fight ISIS to gain control of oil facilities. After that, he said, US oil companies could move in and seize the oil. "Once you take that oil," Trump noted, "they have nothing left." It seems obvious, though, that US oil companies—which actually are transnational companies—would only be able to "take that oil" if large areas of the region were secured by a great number of US ground troops.
Throughout the campaign, Trump has insisted that the United States should "take the oil" from Iraq and areas controlled by ISIS—an idea widely derided by military, international law, and energy experts—without ever explaining how this could happen. The idea of deploying US combat troops (after a bombing campaign) to fight ISIS and then win and control territory with oil facilities in Syria and Iraq—essentially, a US invasion—does not appear in Trump's public plan. But it's what Trump had in mind during his O'Reilly interview. Perhaps this is the big secret Trump has steadfastly refused to share with American voters before the election.


There is a nasty kind of justice in the fact that a scandal is rocking college sports just as the N.C.A.A.'s biggest money-making venture, the men's basketball tournament, reaches a climax. Prosecutors have indicted two former members of the Northwestern University basketball team and charged them with having taken bribes from gamblers to fix the outcomes of games during the 1994-95 season.
But this is only the tip of a problem that reaches far and wide in big-time college sports. A recent study by the University of Cincinnati found that 25 percent of all Division IA basketball and football players admitted they had bet on college sports, and 4 percent said they had bet on a game they had played in.
Who is responsible for this state of affairs? The National Collegiate Athletic Association, for one. Although the organization was formed in part to crack down on corruption in college sports, it has never dealt effectively with gambling.
The N.C.A.A. came to power in the years after World War II, when gamblers had infiltrated basketball so thoroughly that they threatened to undermine its credibility. In this period the N.C.A.A.'s member institutions gave it the power to investigate sports programs, the same kind of power baseball owners gave Commissioner Kennesaw Mountain Landis after the Black Sox scandal in 1919.
But the N.C.A.A., as former executive director Walter Byers has conceded, never actually curtailed the gambling problem. Many of the N.C.A.A.'s critics contend that the organization did not really try, but instead swept the gambling problem under the carpet while focusing on multimillion-dollar television and licensing deals.
The N.C.A.A.'s new-found power stemmed from its ability not only to make, but also to save its members a great deal of money. This it did by redefining the role of the college athlete.
In his book ''Unsportsmanlike Conduct,'' Mr. Byers describes how he invented the term student-athlete, rather than player, as a way of emphasizing the amateur status of college sports.
From the mid-1950's on, coaches and athletic directors made handsome salaries -- some now earn millions annually -- but strict regulations were enforced against players. They were treated as professionals in every way but one: they were no longer paid. Whatever money they got came under the table, from recruiters, boosters, agents and sometimes gamblers, who essentially took over from the universities the role of paying the players.
No wonder some ''student-athletes'' may have decided it is high time they cut themselves in on the action.
