+{"text": "*sigh* Fundamentalist community, let me pass on some advice to you I learned from the atheistic community:\nIf you have set yourself on fire, do not run.\nOkay? Okay?? Please?\nLook, D, you had two months to say to Harvard in private emails, \"Im sorry, I shouldnt have been using that animation in my paid presentations. I wont use it again. I really do like 'Inner Life', though, and would love to use it in classroom presentations, from the BioVisions site, if that is acceptable.\"\nI sat here, for two months, waiting for that to happen, anything to happen, and it didnt. Two months, on your own terms, you could have written a similar post to yesterdays. I would have given you the benefit of the doubt-- maybe you didnt know the credits werent visible to the audience, and I wouldnt have said a word beyond this, as its Harvards problem, not mine. This would have been a funny joke to those of us involved in dealing with you people, but it would have been a PR non-issue for you.\nBut after you set yourself on fire, you didnt douse it out with a bucket of ice cold reality and accountability. You ran. And youre still running.\nWhy not just state \"I screwed up. Sorry everyone.\" and move on? Why the excuses? Why the denial? Why the passive language? Why the vague words and cryptic capitalizations? Why the writes and rewrites of your 'press release'? We know it wasnt written of your own volition, or it would have been done *before* Harvard had to take action. And, your behavior before this, regarding this issue, is not indicative of someone who made an innocent mistake. Its weird.\nSo what with this frantic running? Is the inability to say \"I was wrong\" a pathological feature of Creationists? Or are you hiding something? Or is it both? Or is it more?\nAnd now we get Casey weighing in on the issue, according to cre8id at AboveTopSecret.com-- PBS/NOVA online - Intelligent Design on trial:\n...to my knowledge, Discovery Institute has neither authorized nor received nor is making use of any presentation that used that animation. We have had nothing to do with creating or selling a DVD of that animation, nor do we have anything to do with placing that presentation on Google Video.I dont know what he is talking about with that last part, but the first part sounds similar to DIs claims post-Dover (\"WE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH DOVER!\"). Maybe Luskin is telling the truth. Maybe this was a magic non-science Creation-friendly narration with convenient edits that AiG or ICR would have killed for... but only Dembski could find it... but he cant tell us where... and he didnt share it with anyone... and its subsequently disappeared from the Internet...\nBut that simply isnt what Ive been told. Maybe this was all a silly Dembski mistake, blown out of proportion due to his decision to remain silent... But what if we find more videos of more DI fellows, presenting this animation?\n*shrug* If youve set yourself on fire, do not run, DI.

+{"text": "Free the Cans! Working Together to Reduce Waste\nIn a blog about how people share, it's worth the occasional reference to the bizarre ways that people DON'T SHARE. Is it safe to say we live in a society that places great value on independence, private property, personal space, and privacy? Even sometimes extreme value? Is that why people at an 8-unit apartment building in Oakland, CA have separate caged stalls for eight separate trash cans? I know it's not nice to stare, but I walked by these incarcerated cans and could not help myself. I returned with my camera, so that I could share my question with the world: Why can't people share trash cans or a single dumpster? Or, at the very least, why can't the cans share driveway space?\nThe Zero Waste Movement has come to the Bay Area and it calls for a new use for these eight cages. Here are my suggestions:\n- Turn two of those cages into compost bins. Fill one with grass, leaves, and vegetable scraps, let it decompose for six months, then start filling the second bin in the meantime.\n- Put in a green can, which is what Oakland uses to collect milk cartons, pizza boxes, yard trimmings, and all food to send it to the municipal composting facility. If your city doesn't do this yet, tell them it's a great idea and they could be as cool and cutting edge as Oakland.\n- Put in one or two recycling cans for glass, plastic, cardboard, paper, aluminum, etc.\n- Put out a FREE STUFF box for unwanted clothing and household items. The neighbors could sort through it each week, and later put it out on the curb for passers-by to explore. Take what's left to Goodwill or a comparable donation spot.\n- Put in a few small bins for various items that can be recycled, such asbatteries and electronics, which can then be taken to an electronics recycling center every month or two. Styrofoam can be brought to a local packaging store or ceramics business that accepts used packaging material. Or, if you accumulate a bunch of plastic bags,take them to a store or to some other place that accepts used ones.\n- Put in ONE trash can. By the time you compost, recycle, re-use, redistribute, and take a few other measures to reduce your waste, you'll have almost no trash each week.\n- Install a bicycle rack or locked bicycle cage.\n- With the leftover space, put in a container garden and a bench where neighbors can gather and chat. A much more pleasant alternative to the garbage can jailhouse ambiance, wouldn't you agree?", "score": 3}

The exchange's retail membership represents 85% of U.S. grocery volume \u2014 including 21 of the 24 largest supermarket chains based in the United States \u2014 but it still lacks key suppliers, especially in the fresh food sectors, said Pat Walsh, senior vice president, industry relations, education and research for Food Marketing Institute, Arlington, Va.\n\"We have good penetration [among manufacturers] on the dry grocery side \u2014 though it needs to be better \u2014 and need to expand in other fresh food verticals like meat, produce, deli and bakery,\" said Walsh, who participated in a session on the RRE at the U Connect Live conference here earlier this month.\nMajor food distributors in the exchange, including Kroger, Wegmans and Wakefern, have recently sent letters to their vendors explaining that the only way they will accept recall information is via the RRE, noted Brian Lynch, senior director of business and industry development for the Grocery Manufacturers Association, Washington, who also participated in the U Connect Live session. In an April letter posted on www.rapidrecallexchange.org, Kroger asked all of its suppliers to subscribe to the exchange by July 1.\nMichael Roberson, director of corporate quality assurance for Publix Super Markets, Lakeland, Fla., said in the U Connect Live session that the chain is \"disappointed\" in the number of manufacturers using the Rapid Recall Exchange.\n\"Only 222 of our grocery suppliers are signed up, and more than 1,000 have not yet joined,\" Roberson said. \"We need to have the entire food industry collaborating on the Rapid Recall Exchange.\"\nLast year, of the 300 recalls Publix experienced, fewer than 50 went through the RRE, he said, adding that industrywide only 15% of recalls were submitted to the RRE. A total of 65 recalls have been issued through the exchange industrywide since its September 2009 launch.\nFor recalls that went through the RRE at Publix, Roberson observed \"the absolute excellence in the information that was communicated,\" including product GTINs (global trade identification numbers), the reason for the recall, and photos. \"If we get this information from our trading partners using RRE, then we eliminate most of the [internal] steps because everything works together through this tool,\" he said. By contrast, for recalls that don't go through the RRE, \"nine times out of 10 we're going back to trading partners and seeking out additional information.\"\nPublix has been proactive in urging manufacturers to join the exchange, Roberson said. In addition, Publix has expanded its supplier scorecard to monitor and rank suppliers on whether they leverage the RRE.\nThe RRE was created by FMI and GS1 US, Lawrenceville, N.J., which will be issuing a new version of the exchange, 2.3, in August.", "score": 1}

+{"text": "Michigan unemployment claims workers are losing their jobs.\nNEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Many jobless claims workers in the state of Michigan will soon be filing for unemployment themselves.\nAbout 400 state workers who process unemployment claims are losing their jobs thanks to Michigan's improving economy.\nThe state had beefed up its staff with more than 175 temporary workers in early 2009, when weekly jobless claims topped 500,000 and the unemployment rate was on its way to a 14.2% peak.\nBut the revival of the auto industry has turned around Michigan's fortunes -- the state's job growth outpaced the nation's in 2011. The unemployment rate has steadily declined to its current 8.6%. And jobless claims have plummeted to 187,000.\nWhen the unemployment rate drops, so does the federal support for administering benefits. Without those funds, Michigan will have to let go of the temporary workers, as well as 225 permanent staffers, totaling about one-fifth of the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs' staff.\n\"Unfortunately for them, the economy has gotten better,\" said Mario Morrow, spokesman for the department. \"It's a good news/bad news situation.\"\nMichigan is not the only state laying off or reassigning workers who staffed unemployment benefits call centers and processed claims. With the economy recovering, about half the nation's states are dealing with reduced federal funding, forcing them to make staffing changes.\nAlso, President Obama's 2009 stimulus act doled out even more money to help cover states' increased unemployment benefits caseloads. But those funds have pretty much dried up.\nSo even states where the jobless rates are still high are forced to make changes.\nIn California, which has the nation's third-highest unemployment rate at 10.7%, the state has shifted unemployment workers to disability insurance and tax processing after losing federal support.\nRhode Island, meanwhile, laid off 65 workers, most of them on temporary assignment, after running out of stimulus funds. This comes even as the state still battles a 10.9% unemployment rate, the second-highest in the nation.\nThe state would need $4.6 million to keep them on for another year, said Laura Hart, spokeswoman for the Department of Labor and Training.\n|Apple set for showdown on Capitol Hill over corporate taxes|\n|Tesla's fight with America's car dealers|\n|Why I'm protesting against Gap over Bangladesh|\n|The biggest merger you didn't hear about today|\n|Overnight Avg Rate||Latest||Change||Last Week|\n|30 yr fixed||3.67%||3.62%|\n|15 yr fixed||2.80%||2.76%|\n|30 yr refi||3.65%||3.61%|\n|15 yr refi||2.80%||2.76%|\nToday's featured rates:\n|Latest Report||Next Update|\n|Home prices||Aug 28|\n|Consumer confidence||Aug 28|\n|Manufacturing (ISM)||Sept 4|\n|Inflation (CPI)||Sept 14|\n|Retail sales||Sept 14|", "score": 2}
+{"text": "A week ago, talk about Nebraska's running game centered on its stable of talented running backs. Now, you have to throw the quarterback into the mix as well. After redshirt freshman Taylor Martinez gashed Western Kentucky for 127 yards and three touchdowns on just seven carries last Saturday, the Huskers' ground attack became even more dangerous that it already was to begin with.\nConsidering NU faces an Idaho defense that gave up 148 rushing yards to I-AA North Dakota last week, Martinez and backs Roy Helu, Rex Burkhead and Dontrayevous Robinson should once again put up some big numbers on the ground this week.\nNU Pass Offense vs UI Pass Defense\nWith Martinez getting the start once again today, it will be interesting to see if he's able to do a little more through the air against a Vandal defense that ranked 116th nationally in pass defense last season. Last week, Martinez completed some nice passes, but he also got away with some risky throws that arguably should have been picked off.\nIdaho held North Dakota to just 122 passing yards and picked off two passes last week, but then again, it was against North Dakota. Nebraska's wide receivers will be some of the biggest the Vandals' secondary will face all season, and there's really no reason why the Huskers can't be a little more aggressive against such a physically inferior defensive backfield.\nUI Rush Offense vs NU Rush Defense\nThe 155 yards and a touchdown Western Kentucky's Bobby Rainey put up against Nebraska last week were definitely reasons for concern, especially considering NU didn't give up that many yards against any of the talented backs it faced all last season. However, the players and coaches have insisted Rainey's big day was more a result of communication and alignment issues on their part and not because they were physically beaten up front.\nThe good news for the Husker defense is that Idaho doesn't present nearly the challenge WKU was in the run game. Sure, they rushed for nearly 150 yards and three touchdowns against UND, but the Vandals still lost four starting offensive linemen from last season, and their pass-first mentality doesn't necessarily do much for the running game either. Also, word is that sophomore Eric Martin will get the start at linebacker over Alonzo Whaley, so NU should be even more physical against the run.\nUI Pass Offense vs NU Pass Defense\nIf there's one area where Nebraska should genuinely be concerned about going into today's game, it's how they're going to handle Idaho's explosive passing attack led by quarterback Nathan Enderle. The Huskers' secondary is considered one of the biggest strengths of the defense, but it certainly wasn't tested much at all last week.\nThat definitely won't be the case today, as there's no doubt that the Vandals will come out slinging the ball all over the place. Enderle and Co. passed for 399 yards and three touchdowns last week, but the passing game definitely wasn't perfect. North Dakota racked up four sacks in the first half alone and also added an interception.\nSpecial Teams, What If's and The X-Factor\nAs usual, Nebraska gets the edge on special teams primarily because of senior kicker/punter Alex Henery and punt returner Niles Paul. Henery didn't really have to do much last week, and Paul came oh-so-close to breaking a couple of punt returns. In addition, kickoff specialist Adi Kunalic and kickoff returner Tim Marlowe did excellent jobs. Kunalic put two kickoffs into the end zone for touchbacks, and Marlowe averaged 34.5 yards per return. Idaho return man Justin Veltung is a threat on kick returns, but Kunalic should be able to make him a non-factor.\nNebraska Will Win If:\nIt continues to dominate in the run game and finds a way to put pressure on Enderle all game. Though Idaho's offensive line weighs in at an average of roughly 340 pounds, Nebraska's defensive line is much faster and more athletic, and it should be able to put some serious heat on Enderle and at least throw him off his rhythm. And if Martinez pulls off another performance like he did last week, then it's pretty much game over right there.\nIdaho Will Win If:\nIt can force Nebraska to pass the ball and create some turnovers while also putting up some points through the air. Enderle is one of the better quarterbacks in the country right now, and if he can get enough time in the pocket to go through his reads he should be able to find some holes in NU's coverage, especially considering the inexperience at linebacker and safety.\nThere's no question that the one element Nebraska has that Idaho doesn't is a natural playmaker like Martinez. What he lacks in experience and his sometimes questionable decision making he more than makes up for with the ability to score every time he takes a snap. Add in Idaho's recent defensive struggles, and Martinez could be in for another highlight reel performance, which will only further separate himself from the rest of the pack as clear cut starter at quarterback.", "score": 1}
+{"text": "Amazon.com (AMZN) will have a difficult time meeting analyst expectations this quarter given its several significant headwinds. The two most prominent headwinds relate to revenue, namely the imposition of state sales taxes on Amazon e-commerce revenue and the large increase in federal taxes impacting consumer demand. There is another additional key headwind that is rarely discussed in relation to Amazon, but has and will continue to have a significant impact on operating income - the price of gasoline. While it should be no surprise that gasoline impacts shipping costs, this article enables the reader to accurately predict the impact of gasoline price changes on gross margin, operating income and earnings per share.\nWhile Amazon is quite stingy in the investment information it releases to investors (missing are tablet units, impact of sales tax, streaming users, 3P total merchandise value, AWS COGS, etc\u2026), they do let us know their gross and net shipping expenses. Figure 1 charts gross shipping expense as a percentage of e-commerce revenue against average US gasoline prices in the quarter (regular unleaded, average of all formulations and areas). The chart illustrates that shipping expense had increased steadily from about 7.5% of revenue to 8.6% - 8.9% during 2012. This occurred while Amazon was spending billions of capital on tens of new fulfillment centers closer to the customer to reduce shipping expenses. In order to understand this divergence, I dug a little deeper to determine what is driving the much faster than revenue increases in shipping expense even as shipping distances are being reduced.\nFigure 1: Amazon Gross Shipping Cost as a % of E-Commerce Revenue and Average US Gasoline Prices\nThrough regression analysis of Amazon and government data, I built a shipping expense growth model that demonstrates high correlation to two obvious independent variables: The price of gasoline and what Amazon refers to as \"Paid Units Sold\" (Amazon defines \"Paid Units Sold\" as \"physical and digital units sold\" that \"are paid units and do not include units associated with certain acquisitions, rental businesses, web services or advertising businesses, or Amazon gift certificates\"). The Coefficient of Determination (R2) of this regression was a convincing 0.98, displaying that these two variables alone account for the variation in shipping expense growth. As a note, I thought paid unit growth of 1P units only would be a better predictor as not all 3P units are shipped by Amazon, but the total paid units had a better R2, so I stuck with that.\nWhat does the Statistical Analysis Tell Us?\nHere is the key takeaway: Every 2% increase in gasoline price reduces Amazon's overall gross margin by 10 basis points (BPS). At $16 billion in revenue, every 10 bps of margin reduction results in a $16 million reduction in operating income, or about 2.5\u00a2 in earnings per share reduction. While 10 bps may not sound like a lot, 2.5\u00a2 represents 28% of the analysts $0.09 consensus estimate for Q1. So a minor 2% shift up in gasoline costs can shift earnings lower by 28% in Q1.\nLet's look at this in the wider context of future earnings potential. Amazon bulls like to point to 2009 Q4 as a shining example of Amazon profit potential as they achieved 4.0% net margin and $0.85 per share of earnings. They claim that once all of the current investments subside, Amazon will either return to or exceed those peak margin levels on much higher revenue. Here is a dose of reality for the bulls: If gasoline prices per gallon in 2009 Q4 were what it is today, Amazon would have earned a measly $0.02 per share instead of $0.85! That means given today's energy environment Amazon faces nearly 4.0% net margin headwinds from its prior peak performance.\nHas The Fulfillment Center Build Out Strategy Had Any Positive Impact At All?\nThere is one other interesting result of the analysis to note: the model generated an additive constant term of negative 8.8%. That means that with zero unit growth and no gasoline price change, Amazon shipping expense would shrink by 8.8% Y/Y. This is the positive impact of the distributed fulfillment center strategy and is already baked into the current numbers - you just can't see it in Amazon's financial results due to higher gasoline prices and much higher unit shipments than revenue growth over the past four years. The end result is that although Amazon management recognized they need to do something to stem these two major headwinds, they have only lost ground. While they have increased fulfillment expense as a percentage of revenue by 270 bps, shipping expense has increased 120 bps as a percentage of revenue, thus reducing net margin by 400 bps over the past four years. Based on these trends it seems Amazon will need to continue to invest heavily in fulfillment expenses over the next several years just to return to 2009 shipping expense percentage levels of e-commerce revenue.\nIs There Hope For Gasoline Prices to Return to 2009 Levels?\nThis is highly unlikely as the global financial crisis scared the energy markets into a severe dip (60% drop) at the end of 2008/early 2009. Gasoline prices have begun an exponential run up over the past few weeks and have well surpassed both the prior quarter and year ago quarter's level seven weeks into the quarter (Figure 2). Oil prices tend to lead gasoline prices by 4 to 6 weeks, so look for gasoline prices to continue to rise significantly into the end of Q1 to near all-time high levels ($4.11/gal) as oil continues to print new 9-month highs. That could mean all time high shipping expense as a percentage of e-commerce revenue for Amazon in Q2. The current White House Administration's tough policy approach on fossil fuels coupled with the Fed's QE infinity program should continue to pressure oil prices higher through at least 2015, leading me to wonder why Amazon is considered a \"risk-on\" trade with its strong inverse earnings sensitivity to oil prices. Not only does an increase in gasoline cost increase Amazon's shipping expense, it also lowers consumer's discretionary income, thus providing an additional headwind to revenue - a true double whammy.\nFigure 2: Weekly US Gasoline Prices for Q/Q and Y/Y Comparisons\nCore to Amazon's value proposition is the convenience of shipping product directly to your door. That service currently reduces operating margin by 870 bps (up from 750 bps three years ago) and is directly correlated to the cost of gasoline. For every 2% increase in gasoline cost, Amazon gross margin declines by 10 bps. This relation has reduced Amazon net margin by 400 bps to zero over the last four years. While spending billions on new distributed fulfillment centers has attempted to reduce the impact of soaring gasoline prices, shipping expenses as a percentage of e-commerce revenue continues to climb as Amazon paid units shipped far outpace revenue growth and gasoline price increases continue to override any Amazon efficiency gains. In the current money printing and political environment, energy costs are skyrocketing, thus having a direct and meaningful impact on Amazon profit potential for 2013 and beyond.\nNote: Additional information on the model, data and analysis can be made available through my consulting practice.\nDisclosure: I am short AMZN.", "score": 1}

That total stands to increase with the remainder of archery and special antlerless seasons still to go. Shaw said other factors will raise the numbers as well, such as final counts from controlled hunts and Deer Management Assistance Program cooperators.\nShaw said a number of circumstances have led to the record harvest, such as the good hunting weather and peak rutting times that fell right in line with this year's rifle season.\nBut even with the record numbers, Shaw encourages hunters to participate in the special three-day antlerless hunts.\n\"We need to really focus on increasing the number of antlerless deer harvested, especially in areas that have less desirable buck-to-doe ratios,\" Shaw said. \"And participating in the special antlerless deer season would be an excellent way to do that.\"\nThe first three-day period of the special antlerless season will be limited to the northcentral and northwestern portions of the state, excluding most of the panhandle. The second three-day period will be open for hunting in the same areas as the first part of the season, but also in most of the remainder of the state.

We just went back to the things that made us successful and were able to score some more goals.\"\nSo the Canadians are 3-0 so far, with one game left in the round robin -- a New Year's Eve date with the Americans that could either be for first place in the pool, or rendered entirely meaningless if the U.S. loses to the Czech Republic on Friday.\n\"We'll be ready to roll on New Year's Eve,\" said Jenner. \"It should be a fun game to play in, and a competitive one.\"\nFor a change.", "score": 1}

We have some news that will profoundly affect how you watch the Super Bowl. Brace yourself.\nNo, scientists still haven't figured out a way to teleport you there under the cloak of invisibility, so you still need a ticket.\nIt turns out a shortage of chicken wings may be on the horizon\nWhat the cluck is that about? That's like playing a Super Bowl without a football.\nBefore you go loco, keep in mind the very fake-sounding, but very much real National Chicken Council chimed in to explain the reason behind this biggest national disaster not involving the name Manti Te'o. And while the economics behind it are more convoluted than the 49ers defensive scheme, it comes down to this:\n\"Demand for wings this year is at 'an all-time high' due to decreased wing production caused by the high cost of corn and feed prices. Wings are currently the highest priced portion of a chicken and cost $2.11 a pound in the Northeast, up 12 percent from last year.\"\nThe council says 1.23 billion wing segments \u2013 they don't sound as tasty when called \"segments\" do they? \u2014 will be wolfed down during this year's big game, about 12.3 fewer than we gobbled up last year when the New York Giants managed to wipe the smirk off Bill Belichick's face.\nShort of Beyonc\u00e9 deciding to lip sync (again!) during halftime, this may be the most scandalous thing to hit this year's game. The Super Bowl is the second biggest day for food during the year, trailing only Thanksgiving, and wings are the most consumed item on this most sacred of Sundays.\nA spokesman for the National Chicken Council did manage to alleviate everyone's worst fear, though, by saying wings will be available. He added that although they may cost a bit more, \"The good news for consumers is that restaurants plan well in advance to ensure they have plenty of wings for the big game.\" Phew. Bullet dodged.\nGood to know because without wings, we'd be left only to eat pizza. And sliders. And Doritos. And M&Ms. And pigs in a blanket. And fried chicken. And subs. And pretzels.\nAnd heaven knows that's just not enough selection for all the artery-clogged football fans out there.", "score": 1}

Bergeron might figure it out. Hejda may be a player. One of Smid, Gilbert, Syvret or Young may be ready. Greene may be ready to be Commodore (although I think he is a year or two away from that in reality). Check out San Jose's D if you want to see young and unproven. They did alright.\nThe truth is the Oil likely will get a decent third pair out of the lot of them this season and in a year or two we will have a nice quality young D corps.\nSo where do we look?\nA really nice summary of teams and their cap situations here and a few things jumped out at me.\nThe Oilers have gone back to being young - the third youngest team after San Jose and Columbus from what I can see. Of course this includes Schremp on the roster.\nJersey, even with the rumours that they are going to try and hide Mogilny and Malakhov on the IR to resolve their salary situation, are still in big cap trouble. Problem is the guy I like, Rafalski, has an expensive number on his contract and I'm not sure if Matvichuk or Lukowich add much more then what we have.\nSo, why the Plager brothers up above? Because while the Blues may have, in some estimations (Lowetide again and Mudcrutch as well) have had a nice summer, I think they aren't even close to being back. And they have a lot of age up front - Weight, Guerin, Tkachuk and Drake. Only Detroit, Jersey and Dallas are older.\nAnd they have three young Dmen - Brewer, Backman and Jackman.\nCould we pry either of the latter two away for a young forward or two?

This solution brings to the table up to 100-fold speed-up for large lists of dates.\nI will borrow @Mike's functions to generate a random list of dates, from his code in his recent question\nThe input is a nested list of the type we construct randomly, which is a natural date format as it appears in Mathematica. I subtract 1 from month, to comply with the Java conventions.\nUse and benchmarks\nThere is a 100-fold speedup for this example. Note that there is a small constant overhead of calling Java, so the larger is your list of dates, the more you gain.\nI think that this can be one of the \"canonical\" examples of a situation where the use of Java is more than appropriate. Generally, this happens when some of the following is true:\nEffective use of Java / JLink implies that loops are outsourced to Java. Only then the overhead of Java / JLink will not play a big role. Performing looping in Mathematica while invoking Java functions is likely to not be faster, and often be slower, than doing it all in Mathematica.\nA big thanks goes to @Mike for spotting a bug in the reloader (which has been now fixed).\nThis assumes the use of the Gregorian system, so this will require some modification if you need to work with dates older than the switching date September 14, 1752 (where the Julian system was still in use).\nHere's how to adapt\nThis recent post reminded me that\n~ 41X speed-up.\nSuper-fast. You need the Joda Time library for that.\nIf you're a hardcore JLink user, you have the first two lines in your init.m anyway, so the problem reduces to 71 characters, with an amazing speed.\nJoda Time is ISO 8601-compliant.\nI will provide one solution which will be using ANSI C and LibraryLink.

Underwater there are loads of fixed points to tie images together. Soooo...\nI'd love to see a synth of a coral reef. That would be a BLAST.\nEven better, I'd love to figure out a way to tie the below-water images to the above-water shots and have someone on the reef and someone else on shore doing a collaborative synth. You'd be able to \"stand on the beach\" at the beginning of the synth, and \"dive underwater\" to see the reef.\n(Oh PLEEEEZE tell me someone is interested in doing this! I don't have an underwater housing on my camera!!)\nI think Tom's onto something here. I think the transition from above water to below water would be the absolute hardest part, but I too would LOVE to see this.\nA good polarizer and a really careful choice of angles might work. I've had underwater features show up in a couple of synths I've done this way. It might be enough to tie the two, though the other direction would be a LOT harder.\n(Anyone on the Big Island with an underwater housing for their camera? I'll do the dry-land photography!)\nCave systems in halong bay/Cat Ba island Vietnam would fit your suggestion TBenedict, and I'd love to see them\nhttp://images.google.com/images?q=halong bay cave system&rls=com.microsoft:en-gb:IE-SearchBox&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=ie7&rlz=1I7HPEA_en&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi\nAlso synths of reefs.. excellent idea. There are a huge team of underwater photographers in Egypt and some awesome dive sites I'm sure the Devs here could fire off some emails to camel divers & they could use it for promo work ;) ;) One possiblility would be the use of a glass bottom boat to ease the transition from land to water?\nI'd particularly like to see some underwater wrecks, starting underwater at the boat near a shallow reef and descending down. Some well phrased emails would definately start off a few clusters of this type of synth!\nAny series of photos from space... The saturn mission has some good stuff going around Titan - their pictures are already in the public domain as well, I reckon they might be up for some synthing..\nI honestly think you're right, the above/below beach/reef synth should ideally be done by underwater photographers.\nI REALLY like the idea of the glass bottomed boat for the transition. That or something similar on a smaller scale.\nI'm still interested in doing this, but I hope an honest to goodness underwater photographer beats me to it. It will be far better done.\nYour mention of space synths (of which I think NASA has done several) gave me an idea... I'll try to get this one done later in the week (time permitting.)\nOkay, I'm now obsessed with large scale underwater reef synthing... Underwater photography is tough, normally holiday divers don't have the equipment to balance the red shift (deeper water has less blue light) it's a pain to have to add/remove coloured slides for every photo.. (sorry--going off topic there)\nI emailed one dive centre in Sharm el Sheik but they haven't responded so I have sent emails out to dive centres I have worked at in the past suggesting they make a synth map a part of their dive master/master scuba diver course or make a synth to use for promos, there are centres where professionals dive the same reefs month in month out, 20 photos per dive, 70 dives per month... Anyways, I'll let you know if I get any success synth fishing :D\nAlso, to return to the thread topic - I'd love to see a synth from the front of a train, some rapid fire photos might do the trick from trains both ways?\n*deeper water has less red light... doh!\nGlad to see you taking point on this, Mister_Blondie! I don't even qualify as a holiday diver, and my equipment is nil. I really like the direction you're taking with that, especially the idea of using photos from centers where professionals are in there all the time. I'd really like to see how that turns out!\nI don't know about the front of a train, but a while back Darius posted a link to a \"drive through\" synth where someone was taking pictures from inside a car, coming and going. The technique works quite well. At the speeds most trains go, though, you might need a pretty high frame rate to pull that off. Glad you thought of doing it both ways. For the viewer to be able to turn around and go back, that's essential.\nNo dice on the space synth I hoped to do this week. I'll have another chance next week, so I'll give it another go then.\nA sculpture park. A whole big sculpture park...\nHere's an fantastic attempt at a sculpture park: http://photosynth.net/view.aspx?cid=97153326-97b4-4df7-ba8d-aaf9851fa34d\nThis is pushing the upper limit of the synther as it is, so a park larger than this would be very difficult. The overhead view in this one is great.\nawesome, thanks :)\nI'd like to see some Mt Everest base camp synths.\nThis takes a step out of the realm of the real world, but I'd absolutely love to see Michael Chesko's miniature model cities thoroughly synthed.\nHe's worked on models of New York City, but also has a fictional city of his own design, entitled 'Britannica'. I happened to bump into his work on Robyn Miller's blog some time ago and have been hooked on the idea of synthing his models ever since.\nYou can find one of Robyn's Britannica posts here: http://tinselman.typepad.com/tinselman/2008/08/stop-and-smell.html\nUnfreakin'real. I second that, Nathanael. I'd be willing to be there are no small number of photographers who would be ready to jump at the chance.

+{"text": "On one of the overhead TVs at Batch they're playing the 1992 Olympic games and it's nice, first of all, just to sit here kinda tipsy and appreciate the grace with which a buncha world-class athletes can dance around. I hadn't thought about it in the past but, consider this, maybe were' on the same page: I only ever see Olympic athletes perform when they're in competition. Thus, I lose sight of the fact that each one of these young people on screen is one of a select few masters of their craft in the whole world. And I think that my appreciation of the games is kinda hampered by losing sight of that. When watching the Olympics I have a bad habit of trying to identify the best, the fastest, the strongest\u2014when really I should be marveling at the ensemble.\nOne of the things that inclines me toward watching it the wrong way is the fact that, with all of these world-class athletes running alongside each other, their brilliance is relativized. They're keeping, for the most part, abreast of one another. Every now and then you see somebody who's quite a ways in the back and you think, \"Pah! Loser!\"\nThey start looking average, in other words. Which is unfortunate.\nBut, there's another way in which they're made to look average\u2014except it's beautifully average. Downright enchanting. And that's when the winners are announced. Because for all of their mastery and brilliance on the field, the track, the whatever\u2014all of these competitors are acutely aware of the fact that they're going up against people who are just as good and probably better than themselves. And the expressions on their faces when they win, the frequency with which they collapse at the announcement, the tears\u2026\nIt's a beautiful reminder of the fact that these people came from all over the fucking world to do this and that they've spent their entire lives preparing. We see some tears at the Superbowl, sure, and slightly less often with NBA Championships\u2014but those league players are professional athletes who have their image in mind when they do things, their brand. They're \"camera savvy,\" as it were. They've been coached on the fact that they're being surveiled and scrutinized by an audience of millions who are eager to pounds on them for the slightest faux pas.\nThis is clearly not the case with Olympians. These are the people who've been training on desolate tracks of land, dilapidated gymnasiums, deserts, snow-packed terrains. They don't pay no mind to the picturetaker. Those tears and howls and leaps of joy are the closest thing we get to a depiction of the work that preceded their appearance here. Because they're realizing the validation of that work. And I think that the preparation, the lifestyle, the sacrifice is really what distinguishes all these people as athletes, not so much the actual records or the performance.\nIt's what makes them stand out, even from one another.", "score": 2}

+{"text": "It's tough for any event to follow a Major but the Travelers Championship is a prestige tournament that can usually guarantee a strong field. The 2021 renewal is no exception, with defending champion Dustin Johnson and three-time winner Bubba Watson among those lining up this week.\nTPC at River Highlands is the destination so let's get straight on and assess the contenders for this Travelers Championship preview with predictions and betting picks.\nDustin Johnson won the Travelers Championship by one shot from Kevin Streelman in 2020 and he starts as joint favorite along with Bryson DeChambeau. Both men can be found at best odds of 12/1 with most outlets.\nJohnson has addressed a dip in form with two top 20 finishes in his last two starts but he has only successfully defended a title once before, in 2010. DeChambeau faded badly at Torrey Pines on Sunday but he has a solid record in this tournament. Since his debut here in 2016, the Scientist has made the cut on all five appearances and has three straight top 10 finishes from 2018.\nBoth favorites look to have strong claims but there is plenty of competition. Behind the top two, Paul Casey, Brooks Koepka and Patrick Cantlay can all be found at a best of 16/1. Casey was at his consistent best with a top 10 finish at the US Open and two runners up slots in the Travelers Championship cements his 'nearly man' profile.\nKoepka isn't highly fancied this week and doesn't even warrant a slot in the Power Rankings but Cantlay is attracting interest. He shot 60 in this event as an amateur 10 years ago and was a winner this month at Muirfield Village.\nMoving through the chasing pack, Patrick Reed and Scottie Scheffler are both on offer at 25/1 while Tony Finau is slightly further back at 28/1. Scheffler returned some good stats at the US Open which could be relevant this week, as he led the field in Strokes Gained: Putting and also in Putting: Birdies or Better.\nOn the edges of this section are Brian Harman, Abraham Ancer and Kevin Streelman who are all listed at 30/1 in places. Streelman had that near miss behind Dustin Johnson a year ago but he is also a former champion \u2013 winning the Travelers Championship in 2014. This is clearly a favored tournament and Streelman could be worth a follow in the top 10 finish markets at the very least.\nKevin Streelman may have a solid record in the Travelers Championship but the entire field is playing catch up behind Bubba Watson. The left hander has three wins here between 2010 and 2018 and was also a runner up behind Marc Leishman in 2012.\nBubba leads the all-time money earners list in this event and that record sees him head up the Power Rankings. Despite all that, Watson can be found at best odds of 55/1 and there could be definite value in that figure.\nAt a shorter best price of 45/1, Harris English is also tempting following his solo third at the US Open. Elsewhere, Matthew Wolff, Charley Hoffman and Cameron Smith are all available at 50/1. Hoffman has converted for us at decent odds in the top 10 finish markets and it may be worth noting that he claimed a runners up spot in the Travelers Championship in 2012.\nOther names to consider in a talented outside bunch include Keegan Bradley at 55/1, Sam Burns at 60/1, Justin Rose at 66/1, Garrick Higgo at 66/1, Rickie Fowler at 70/1 and Phil Mickelson at 80/1.\nOur Preview's Travelers Championship Predictions, Course & Betting Trends & Picks Conclusion\nTPC at River Highlands is located in Cromwell, Connecticut and it has played host to the Travelers Championship since 1984. The tournament itself started in 1952 as the Insurance City Open with Ted Kroll winning the opening edition.\nBubba Watson has those three victories but he needs one more to equal Billy Casper's overall tournament record. Stewart Cink and Phil Mickelson are the double champions inside this year's field.\nAs a par 70 at 6,844 yards, many players can afford to leave the driver in the bag this week. Power off the tee is largely irrelevant while four-inch primary rough makes accuracy far more important. Greens that run to 12 on the Stimpmeter can take it all down to a putting contest.\nLast year's scoring average of 68.626 was the lowest for nine years and favorable conditions could shave a fraction off that in 2021. Overall, we're looking for accuracy and form, particularly with the putter.\nIt's a tough call and, looking at that outside bunch, it would be no surprise to see a long odds winner this week. It may be an occasion to focus on the top 10 finish betting markets but, if pushed, this preview would settle on Patrick Reed to win it.\nReed is consistent with five top 20 finishes in his last seven starts. That run includes the first three Majors of the year, while he has returned four top 25s in nine appearances at the Travelers' Championship. It is not a stunning record but Reed is always a threat and this is the type of field in which he can thrive.\nThere could be a lot of value in the top 10 finish markets and here are three suggestions for single digit finishes this week as part of our tournament predictions.\n- Patrick Reed to win at +2200 (22/1) with Bovada or Bookmaker.\n- Top 10 Finishes (odds from BetOnline): Reed (+225), Charley Hoffman (+500), Keegan Bradley (+400) and Harris English (+500).\nMatt Harris is a golf and soccer expert for USA Betting. His other area of specialist knowledge is cricket. He is well known in sports journalism and contributes articles to a plethora of big-name websites and media outlets.

We fattened him up with our delicious scraps, and Thanksgiving day found Dad and Charles hard at work grilling him to perfection. In the afternoon people started gathering at our house for Thanksgiving dinner. Most of the regular church attendees came, along with Charles' family, the IGO team, Matt's family, and our family. It was quite the crowd. And quite the delicious food too. Not the traditional Thanksgiving spread for sure, but it sure was worth giving thanks for!\nWe really enjoyed the crowd after dinner when we all gathered around and sang together for awhile. It's amazing how much life a few extra voices can add to a song!\nCharles's oldest son, Gordon, arrived late that night. He is in voluntary service at Hillcrest Home and wasn't able to come for the entire time that the rest of the family was here. We were sad he couldn't be here the whole time, but excited to have him around for at least a few days.\nFloating Village & Angkor Wat\nSaturday we took Charles's family to a nearby floating village. The IGO team joined us as well, then went on to tour Angkor Wat for the rest of the day. Charles's family along with the children from our family also went to Angkor Wat that evening, trying to get in after 5 so we wouldn't have to pay the $20 per person fee. We didn't get to see too much, but we did find some monkeys, which was a big priority for Amber. They weren't too happy to see us, though, so we didn't stick around for very long.\nIt was again good to have so many people around for church on Sunday. The IGO girls took care of the children's Sunday school, and Darrell taught the adults. We had to chuckle at the size difference between Sen and Darrell. Dad was pretty sick, so Loren took his place teaching the Sunday school in Bakong.\nWork?! Oh yes! Don't let all the pictures of the fun days fool you. We didn't just have fun. We worked too! (And had fun while we did it. =) The guys spent several days out in Bakong building a new shelter where we are planning to have English class, as well as SALT meetings and Sunday school. The IGO team took over the English teaching while they were here. (I plan to write another post about the IGO team's activities.) Donna and her girls and the IGO ladies helped so much with the housework, and Donna even did some sewing! With more people around, housework just seems to multiply. Somehow, though, I don't seem to have very many pictures of work happening. The ones I do have are mostly phone pictures and the quality lacks a lot. Oh well, better include them just so you know we did work!\nTuesday we had planned a trip to a village in Chhom's homeland. They had been asking us for clothes, and we wanted to pass out some of the Khmer \"25 Favorite Bible Stories\" that we had recently gotten printed. The well truck had a small problem though, so Ryan took it in to quickly get it fixed before we needed to leave. We sat around waiting, and waited, and waited, and waited some more. Long story short, the truck had some BIG problems that surfaced after the little problem was fixed, and in the end the trip was postponed until later that week. Instead, the youth headed over to Matt's house to sort the humongous pile of clothes we had gotten in a clothing bale from one of the local markets. Poor Lightning stood in as Frank's mannequin.\nThe goodbyes started that night. After being treated to a delicious supper by Charles and Donna, we took Gordon to the airport. Charles's family started packing the next morning and late that night we said our sad goodbyes. I guess those are the times we have to remind ourselves, \"Don't cry because it's over\u2026smile because it happened.\" And we do! It's hard to put into words how GOOD it was so have them here. I described most of the big events, but I think my favorite times were the times I didn't write about\u2026the little moments. Shopping at the markets. Piling four people on a moto and going to town. Blossom Cafe. Playing games in the evening. Swimming with the girls. Snow Yogurt. Just talking to our hearts' content.\nThank you all sooo much for coming!! You blessed us so much, and we thank God for you! We trust that despite the heat and too much rice (I heard a rumor that someone thinks we had rice way too often =) ) you had as lovely a time as we did. Come back soon!\nYup. Now. Our visitors left, but last minute plans had our dear Granddad flying over a week after Charles's left. We're thoroughly enjoying having him around here. The kids in the village love him! It was especially nice having him here for Christmas. Seeing him walk out of the airport without Grandmom at his side was hard. It makes it so much more real that she's not here anymore. But it has been good. He was sick for almost a week with an upset stomach. At first we thought it was just a flu, but finally Dad called our family doctor and he thinks it's some sort of intestinal infection. He prescribed some antibiotics, and that snapped Granddad right out of his ailment. We're so happy he's feeling better!\nLuke flew to South Carolina last Saturday. He's spending some time with family and friends, and then this weekend he's leaving for two three-week terms at Calvary Bible School. He seems to be having fun so far, but we miss him! I'm sure he'd love to hear from you while he's there, so if you need an address, just let me know and I'll be happy to give it to you. Please note. *You're also welcome to send any extra Christmas letters or pictures you had to that address, and he will bring them back so that we can proudly display you on our wall. =)*\nWell\u2026it's definitely bed time over here. Wishing you all a wonderful 2015 of learning to better know our Father.\n'Til next time\u2026", "score": 1}

+{"text": "Your organization, and organizations of any size, depends on the accuracy of its data to gain financial insights and improve marketing, sales and customer service. In fact, pretty much every department within your company will rely on data in some way.\nAnd if that data is inaccurate, hard to access or only tells part of the story, it can severely hamper operations across the business. Data errors can seriously impact relationships with customers, suppliers and business partners and result in significant financial loss.\nAnd when you add to this the risk of data breaches, which can incur heavy financial penalties and loss of reputation, you can see that the very existence of an organization can be threatened by poor data management. So, while this bad data costs money then good data must make money.\nThe cost of inaccurate data\nAs a survey of 1,200 UK, US and European organizations across a range of sectors and company sizes shows, bad data hits companies where it hurts \u2013 in the pocket.\n88% of companies said inaccurate data had a direct impact on their bottom line\n\u2026 with the average company losing 12% of its revenue\n42% say inaccurate contact data is the biggest barrier to multichannel marketing\nThe average organization estimates 22% of all its contact data is inaccurate in some way\nWhere does your data come from?\nThe 1,200 organizations surveyed said they use an average of 3.4 different sources to collect customer contact data:\n73% collect data from their website\n60% collect data from face-to-face sales teams\n54% collect data from call centers\n47% of organizations collect contact data via mobile websites or apps\nThis means that data is coming into the company from multiple sources and generally in different formats \u2013 adding to the likelihood of inaccuracies or duplications.\nAnd considering the rise of new generation technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning, you'll only find this list of data sources growing.\nCan you trust your data?\nWhich leads us to the next question \u2013 how much do you trust your data?\nA recent Global Data Management Benchmark report analyzed the responses of more than 1,400 data management professionals to try and understand how data is being used within organizations, and how the quality of that data impacts business priorities.\nThe report uncovered the following insights:\n52% of organizations globally said a lack of trust in their data contributes to increased risk of non-compliance and regulatory penalties\n51% said it leads to a downturn in customer loyalty\n92% of organizations don't have a single customer view in place today\nThis last insight is startling, particularly when you consider the growing need to offer customers products and services specific to their needs. Without a trusted view of their history and engagement behavior, you may struggle to provide this.\nSigns you have a data problem\nAt the very least, you should know how many customers you have. It would also help to have accurate contact details, a history of their interactions with your company and knowledge of their preferences.\nWithout this information, you're going to be limited in how effectively you can communicate with them.\nDo your employees have access to up-to-date, accurate data whenever they need it? Or do they spend time discussing whose spreadsheet is the most recent and correct?\nDo you have sufficient controls in place to ensure customer data is kept confidential at all times? Are all your employees aware of their role when it comes to protecting data or do they misuse corporate data or violate established data policies?\nDoes it take weeks (or months) to issue a report because metadata is not centrally managed? And do you have numerous reporting processes with contradictory rules and definitions?\nIf any of these scenarios ring a bell, then it's clear you need to start looking at how you can manage your data more efficiently.\nIdentify the causes of your data challenges\nDoes your data live in multiple, siloed, legacy data systems? Do you have numerous sources of data? Does data cleansing and standardization only occur in isolated data sources?\nDoes your management team understand and appreciate the role of data governance and take time to regularly review data rules and processes? Is a culture of ownership and accountability of data promoted within your company?\nCan you identify the causes of your data challenges? Because once you've done this, you can start to take steps to master your data.\nBegin to master your data\nBefore you can start changing your company's attitude toward data, you need to look at the systems you currently have in place. Following this, you can begin to assess how to go about solving your data problems.\nThe technology you use to master your data should capture your existing information, wherever it's stored, as well as new data as it comes in. And today's master data management (MDM) solutions don't just manage this data, they also remove duplicate records and combine incomplete records for a particular customer, product, etc. to create a single golden record.\nThis golden record can then be used by everyone across your organization. You can even choose to make it available to your suppliers, partners and customers \u2013 you have control over who has access to what data.\nAnd if records need editing, updating or deleting, you can make amendments to the relevant golden record, and these changes will be reflected everywhere. As you can imagine, the administration savings of this act alone are considerable.\nPromote a data quality culture\nOnce you have your new master data management technology in place, you can begin to align your people and processes with your data strategy.\nThis includes introducing automated policies to ensure data remains consistent and data quality is standardized across your organization. You could also publish internal guidelines on the principles of data management, and develop and implement data training.\nIt becomes easier to promote this culture if you have clear data ownership roles and responsibilities in place, especially for critical elements of data. You need to create ongoing business rules for your data. Which leads us to data governance.\nEstablish governance of your data\nBefore you can begin to leverage data as an asset, you need effective data governance \u2013 and that means ensuring your people, processes and technology are all aligned with a strategy that meets legal requirements.\nIf your data technology and processes are taken care of, you can easily implement a governance strategy that fully covers the management and use of your data. For example, a clear and comprehensive audit trail of how your data has been acquired and managed is a minimum requirement of regulatory compliance, and MDM technology will give you that information. You now have the foundation upon which to build a governance policy that protects you as the data holder as well as the data subjects.\nYou have control over which users can take what actions with what information, when, and what methods they can use. And once data governance is taken care of, you can turn your thoughts to monetizing your data.\nTurn a risk into an asset\nIn summary, if your data is letting you down, it's time to act before you face financial losses or compliance risks \u2013 or before your competitors start using their data to steal a march on you.\nBy implementing a data strategy that combines the latest master data management technology with a drive to improve your company's data culture, you can achieve transformational change and financial success.\nFor example, with comprehensive customer information available to anyone within your company who needs it, you can offer a more targeted and personalized service.\nIf you can eliminate the problems caused by inaccurate data, you'll find that rather than adversely hitting your bottom line, your data will let you increase revenue and grow your business.", "score": 1}

I've said it before about other recipes, too.\nBut this truly is life-changing!\nAnd besides, no one ever said that you can't encounter more than one life-changing thing or event, right?\nSeriously, though, if you are on a gluten-free diet, this gluten-free pizza crust truly is something to celebrate!\nNot only is it gluten-free, it is insanely easy to make. You can be sitting down to homemade pizza in an hour!\nThis sounds like I'm off on a complete tangent, but do you know \"I Can't Believe It's Not Butter\"? It's the vegetable oil spread that looks and (supposedly) tastes just like butter and no one can tell the difference?\nWell, that's I kept thinking when I was eating this pizza...\"I can't believe it's not gluten!\" \ud83d\ude09\nIf you have been following along with me since I started developing gluten-free recipes, you know that I am a stickler...STICKLER...for wanting to make gluten-free baked goods that are so close to their gluten-filled cousins that you can't tell the difference. I have purchased too many gluten-free products and made too many other gluten-free recipes that were so disappointingly bad that it's no wonder gluten-free has such a bad rap. I have always wanted show that it doesn't have to be that way by really working on developing good gluten-free recipes.\nI can't tell you how excited I am about sharing this gluten-free pizza crust recipe. It is ridiculously easy to make, requires no yeast, and bakes up just like a gluten-filled pizza crust. My family is in love...LOVE...with this recipe and are so happy that this is now in my repertoire!\nThis pizza crust browns beautifully and has the perfect balance of chew and structure. Because you pre-bake the crusts before adding the toppings, you can make these crusts ahead of time, saving time when you need to cook up the pizza before you eat! You can make small individual sized pizzas or a big one to share. You can even prepare the dough ahead of time and keep it in a sealed bag in the fridge until you're ready to roll it out!\nThis is a game changer!\nIf you're gluten-free and have never been able to either buy or make a decent gluten-free pizza crust, look no further. I cannot rave about this recipe enough, and I encourage you to give it a try. You will totally fall in love with this recipe and will become a believer in really good gluten-free pizza again!\nIt will have you yelling, \"I can't believe it's gluten-free!\" \ud83d\ude09\nEasy Amazing Gluten-Free Pizza Crust\nDry Ingredients (Volume measurements in Recipe Notes below):\n- 1 \u00bd cups plain full-fat Greek yogurt\n- 1 tbs olive oil\n- Preheat oven 400 deg F (200 C).\n- Combine all the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl and whisk together.\n- Mix Greek yogurt and oil together. Add to dry ingredients in mixing bowl.\n- Combine wet and dry ingredients with a fork until dough comes together. Dough will be sticky.\n- Shape dough into a ball.\n- Use tapioca starch to lightly dust a sheet of parchment paper large enough for the rolled out pizza crust. (The paper size should be about the size of your oven rack, wider than it is tall, if making one large pizza.) Place dough in the center of the parchment paper.\n- Work dough a few times to smooth it out, dusting the parchment and your hands as necessary with tapioca starch so the dough doesn't stick.\n- Dust a rolling pin with tapioca starch and gently roll out the dough, dusting the rolling pin often.\n- Use fingers to finish pressing out the dough. Roll up the edges for a crust, if desired. Again, dust your fingers with tapioca starch as necessary.\n- Poke holes in the crust with a fork.\n- Having a firm hold of the parchment paper, transfer the crust and parchment directly to an oven rack set in the upper part of the oven. Bake for 15 minutes.\n- Carefully remove the crust from the oven by holding the parchment paper on the sides, just as you did when you placed the crust in the oven. (The parchment paper will be cool enough for you to handle with bare hands...just don't touch the oven itself!) Place on a cooling rack.\n- (Once the crust is done, you can prepare the pizza right away with toppings or keep the crust available for using later.)\n- Increase oven temperature to 425 deg F (220 C).\n- Top pizza crust with sauce, cheese and your favorite toppings.\n- Again, use the parchment paper to transfer the pizza directly to the oven rack. Bake for 10-15 minutes until cheese is gold and bubbly.\n- Remove the pizza from the oven holding the parchment paper on either side of the pizza and transfer to a cooling rack.\n- Let cool 5 minutes before slicing.\n- Volume Measurements:\n- \u00be cup + 2 tbs brown rice flour\n- \u00be cup + 3 tbs + 1 teaspoon tapioca starch\n- \u2153 cup + 2 \u00bd tbs + \u00bd teaspoon sorghum flour\n- Please note that gluten-free recipes work best with weight measurements because they are more precise than volume measurements. Gluten-free baking requires more precision and can be less forgiving than baking with regular all-purpose wheat flour.\n- These volume measurements were made from spooning each of the flours into the measuring cups/spoons (so they are not packed) and leveling them off.\n- The volume measurements are approximate. Make slight adjustments to the recipe as needed, adding a bit more Greek yogurt or a bit more tapioca starch or brown rice flour to achieve the correct dough consistency.\n- Bake the crust ahead of time for use later in the day, or even the next day!\n- Brush the crust edge with olive oil, or seasoned olive oil for a more flavorful crust (garlic, salt, parsley, etc.)\n- For an extra kick, mix \u00bd teaspoon chili pepper flakes into your pizza sauce before spreading on your pizza crust!\n- If you want to reheat leftover pizza, reheat slices in the oven for about 5 minutes at 400 F (200 C). The crust will be just like it's first baked!\nIf you make this dish, share your photo on Facebook or Instagram and tag me @dayinthekitchen!\nYou might also like:\nThis recipe was updated on March 6th, 2019 with volume measurements for the flours and additional recipe notes.", "score": 1}
+{"text": "People fall in love with blogging because of various reasons. Some of them want to make money by writing and work hard to make a name for themselves. Others just do it for fun and don't mean anything serious by it, while some feel that they have something important to discuss with the World and the best way to share your ideas is starting a blog.\nWhen I started blogging I had no idea what I was getting myself into and this is true for most bloggers out there, but in time I learned a few things that made it a whole lot easier and fun. Some of them I've learned from experience and others I picked up from more experienced bloggers who were willing to share their knowledge. In honor of the favor they did to me, here is a list of important lessons I've learned from blogging.\n1. Have fun in order to keep the creative juices flowing.\nIt might seem silly but this is a very serious matter. I don't care if you are starting a blog that is highly technical and you are doing reviews of highly sophisticated, scientific gadgets\u2014you still need to have fun while writing about the subject. The writer's mood tends to transfer onto his writing and if you are bored out of your skull by the work you are doing, you are also going to bore you readers. Shake things up a bit, try a different approach and work on your style in order to avoid repetitiveness.\n2. Your writing is only as good as your grammar.\nHave you heard about the Grammar Police? There are people online that are obsessed with good grammar and are constantly scanning for any mistakes so they can proudly point them out. They can be annoying, but having a trend of making fun of bad grammar is OK in my book.\nIn the beginning, I thought that nobody is going to care about a couple of typos and a few \"its Vs it's\" mistakes but boy, was I wrong. Bad grammar kills your credibility as writer, and if you want to be taken seriously, check before you post.\n3. Have a functional knowledge of the Internet.\nYou can't skip this part folks. You need to be able to use search engines correctly and intuitively so you can get all the necessary research. On top of that, you will need maintain and update your blog on your own so as to avoid dishing out cash for that. There is a third point here, one that encompasses the understanding of the Internet lingo so to speak. Things that mean one thing in the real world can mean something completely different online and they can really cause some issues if they are misunderstood.\n4. Ask for feedback so you can see yourself through your readers eyes.\nIt is of great importance to have an objective opinion on how good your writing really is. Unfortunately, writers and bloggers alike have a tendency to think too highly of themselves or to be too harsh on their work. Bloggers have one advantage though, and that is to ask their audience for their opinion and get instant reviews. Not everybody will like your work, so filter out the comments of people who wouldn't like what you have to say no matter how you write it. Find realistic reviews and learn from your mistakes.\n5. Reaction isn't something that should ruin your motivation.\nThe Web is a big place and there is an abundance of opportunities for job positions and success as a creative writer, but don't expect everything to just fall in your lap. You are going to live through some rejections as most of us did, and this isn't something that you should consider \"a big deal,\" even in cases when you really wanted to land that particular job. Keep at it, work hard and don't let things discourage you.\n6. Developing relationships and networking are the keys to success.\nYou can't do everything alone\u2014no one can. Understanding the value of connecting with fellow bloggers, keeping in touch with your readers and getting as many contacts as you can is very important.\nOpportunities for new projects can arise from simply knowing the right people at the right time. As the old saying goes, there is strength in numbers.\n7. Things don't just happen; you need to make them happen.\nAlways be on the lookout for new opportunities. Utilize your contacts, search for job opportunities, collaborate with your peers and think about the future of your work. If you just sit down, write and wait, you might catch a break if you are lucky, but in most cases you are going to progress very little if you don't branch out and start making opportunities instead of waiting for them to happen.\n8. Take a break once in a while.\nAvoid writing when you feel exhausted since you are going to produce material of lower quality, regardless of your passion for the subject. If you have no choice, make sure you check what you have written more than once before you post it. Exhaustion doesn't just have a bad influence on your writing\u2014it destroys your motivation as well. Take the time to recharge your batteries and get back into the fray; otherwise, you are going to end up with your head on your keyboard and with your deadline breached.\n9. Patience and diligence are the key to success.\nA lot of bloggers, especially young bloggers, step in to the blogging environment with an overconfident attitude and the conviction that they are going to make it in a matter of months. Let me tell you this: most successful bloggers have worked for years for scraps before they actually capitalized on their work. Blogging isn't something that you can have an overnight success with; it takes planning, learning and hard work.\n10. If you get into fights with trolls, you are going to come out bruised.\nThese are some fickle creators to deal with. \"Trolls\" are people who are there to make fun of you and everything else for that matter. Why? Because they are bored and they do this to entertain themselves. If you run into trolls on your blog, proceed with caution. Don't get into arguments with them because you can't win.\nThey have put nothing on the table that they value and their primary objective is to ridicule your entire operation for fun. Ignoring them is probably the best course of action since your lack of reaction will bore them and they will go away.\n11. Don't chase after money at all costs.\nThere are a lot of ways to make money online; that much is true, but when it comes to blogging you need to be careful. Your fan base is what keeps your blog alive. If you start shoving ads or god forbid pop-ups down people's throats they are going to leave you very fast and your hard work is going to go down the drain in a matter of days. Carefully make your choices, consult your fans and notify them about the changes that are going to occur so you don't hurt your chances of making money while attempting to make money.\nFrom my experience, these are some of the most important things to know if you are starting a blog and want to make a serious career for yourself as a blogger. Keep in mind that these rules are not rigid and that things change fast on the Web so make sure you are up to date with new trends and changes. I wish you a clear mind and may writer's block never cross your doorstep.", "score": 2}

+{"text": "Designing the roof doesn't just solely depend on how it looks but it is most especially on its purpose. How will you know that your roof is well designed? These are the factors you need to know when having a roofing project.\nKnowing what your roof needs will make you aware of whether the contractor is making a reasonable quotation for your roof project. It isn't just about the kind of material that was used but also the sizes whether it is under design, overdesigned & or well-designed. It is necessary to have the basic knowledge of the loads that you must consider in the calculation of your roof design and estimation.\n1. Live Load\nLive loads are considered as loads that aren't constant but even if these loads aren't always present on the roof area, they must still be considered. These loads are usually present in the installation, repair & renovation. Most live loads are point loads which means these loads are not constantly distributed on the roof area. These are some examples of roof live loads:\n- Crew/ Roofer - these are the people you have hired to do the roofing job whether it is repaired or newly installed.\n- Equipment & Tools - these are the materials that the roofers are bringing in while doing the roofing job.\n- Snow - these should also be considered as it will contribute to the weight your roof carries over time especially when snowfall lasts longer and the snow is piling up on top of the roof.\n>>Related post: What Qualities Do You Need To Become a Roofer?\n2. Dead Load\nDead Loads are the accumulated loads that are present constantly on your roof. These are the load of the roofing material's own weight combined with other construction materials. Mostly, this type of load is evenly distributed in the roof area. These are some examples of roof dead loads:\n- Roof Materials - the material ranges from asphalt shingles to clay material which you can check in our article about How to pick the right roof for your Texas home.\n- Roof Framing - it could be timber, structural steel, and reinforced concrete, depending on your choice of support. It should also consist of purlins and sag rods to give more stability.\n- Other construction materials - are miscellaneous materials like nails, screws, bolts & nuts.\n>>Related post: The Advantages and Disadvantages of Roofing Materials\n3. Wind Load\nWind loads are the wind effect created by a breeze that hits the wall that potentially angles upward. These put pressure on the roof on how it holds to its frame. This load mainly depends on your area and whether it experiences greater wind speed which equates to an increase in uplift load.\n4. Special Roof Load\nSpecial Roof Loads depend on your future plans for your roof whether you want it to be converted to a green roof or add a solar panel on top of it. This will increase the load your roof carries from adding certain equipment or materials to it. Always make sure that your roof can accommodate the potential weight it will carry.\n>>Related post: How to Pick the Right Roof for Your Texas Home\n5. Factor of Safety\nThe factor of Safety is the ratio of load the material can carry to the actual load as per calculation. The roof design should always bear more loads than its material load. Calculating the factors of safety will consider that the material is not at its maximum capacity and thus should provide a certain safety factor to reduce the risk of failure. Since the factor of safety is ultimate load over allowable load, the value of the factors of safety should always be greater than 1 and its difference is the margin of safety.", "score": 3}

+{"text": "After a difficult year, many expats are looking to the future with enthusiasm and hope. For many, this means reviewing finances in a bid to finally reach those long-awaited goals. After such a turbulent year, it may feel as though it is the ideal time for investing in the future, but unfortunately there is never a perfect investment opportunity so it's important to be prepared.\nTo help you on your way to reaching your goals, we've put together a guide to some of the factors you should consider and pitfalls you should avoid when approaching investments in 2021.\n1. Failing to create a clear investment plan\nEvery investor should have a plan, but as an expat it's important that you really consider your financial future before making investments in 2021. Begin by considering your investment goals; you should think about where you hope to be in the short-term, mid-term and long-term when it comes to money. Investing everything in the hope of seeing quick returns may feel tempting, but if you have mid-term plans to purchase property abroad or long-term overseas retirement plans, you should ensure these are also taken into account.\nExperts suggest that you should balance low, medium and high-risk investments with your plans, ensuring you have the right combination in your portfolio to reflect your personal goals. For example, if retiring abroad in 10 years is your only priority, you may wish to consider more low and medium-risk investments. In contrast, expats looking to boost their deposit for an overseas property may juggle medium and high-risk investments in the hope of securing greater growth in the short term.\n2. Choosing investments based on past returns\nIt is easy to be drawn into the trap of planning your future investments based on your successes in the past. But capitalising on your investment victories shouldn't mean restricting yourself to the same strategy time and time again. In fact, by limiting your portfolio you could be missing out on a number of opportunities, particularly given the turbulent economic environment. The impact of Brexit and, perhaps even more significantly, the COVID-19 pandemic has been huge and far-reaching, affecting markets across the world and resulting in dramatic shifts in the world of investments. Looking forward is the best approach to ensuring you are using your money as effectively as possible.\nAs above, you will need to create a detailed and personalised investment plan that takes into account your current finances. However, this plan should also centre around investments that will take advantage of fluctuations in the markets rather than rely on previous investment strategies that are likely to be significantly outdated. Whether you wish to select your investments by yourself or use the advice of an independent advisor, choose companies that you believe will provide long-term returns and are unlikely to be affected by the repercussions of recent global events.\n3. Skipping the research stage\nWe hope all of the information above will have already encouraged you to put a little more time into researching your investments in 2021, so this next potential pitfall may not come as much of a surprise to you. Nevertheless, it's important to consider how crucial the research phase of investing can really be. It's very easy to take investment tips from friends and family, or to take advantage of what feels like a steady and reliable opportunity such as a major global brand. Expats are particularly well-placed to fall into such traps as it's easy to be tempted into investing in unknown brands on the back of local knowledge.\nHowever, if you do not take the time to dig deeper into your investment choices before taking the plunge you could be taking a greater risk than you realise. To prevent yourself from making these mistakes, take the time to understand the different types of investment available to you. There are many different options available, including:\n- Mutual funds\n- P2P Lending\n- Real estate\nOnce you have identified one or more types of investments that suit your financial plan, research individual opportunities to identify the risks worth taking. Remember \u2014 consider current and predicted future performance rather than focusing solely on historical returns and star ratings.\n4. Failing to diversify\nDiversification is a good tool in both finance and business, helping to reduce risk. While some people avoid diversification in favour of greater investment, this inevitably increases the risk to that investment. As we have outlined above, there are many different types of asset classes available to investors. While all individual investment options have unique risks, each of the above asset classes offers its own types of risk that can result in huge losses for investors who fail to diversify and who only bank on a single class.\nFor example, there have been a number of investment classes that have suffered significant blows across the board as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. For investors who have put all their eggs in one basket, this has resulted in a stressful year as they attempt to rebuild their portfolio. Experts suggest that the best way to avoid this stress is to invest in a wide range of classes \u2014 at least five \u2014 that offer different types of risk and reward. By spreading your investments in 2021, you could prevent yourself from suffering significant losses in the future should we face any more economic uncertainty.\n5. Investing based on emotions\nIt's easy to become emotionally invested in your finances, particularly when the world has faced such an uncertain period. Giving in to fear, greed or even sentimentality can lead to making poor investment decisions. Many people, for example, will struggle to move on after experiencing success with one company. Whether they are fearful, hopeful of continued growth or purely emotionally attached, this behaviour can result in poor financial decisions and investment losses. It is important to continually research and review your investments to ensure you are always using your money wisely, rather than simply sitting comfortably.\nIn a similar vein, traditional investments such as gold and real estate are often considered a strong, long-term investment choice. However, by giving in to fear and failing to branch out, you could find yourself suffering as a result of slowing growth rates. For example, due to the pandemic there are now many businesses moving to a work-from-home model. This has resulted in a number of commercial properties suffering, along with their investors. Similarly, gold is starting to suffer significantly as a result of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin. In order to benefit from larger growth margins in the years to come, it's important to take a step back from traditional, comfortable investments and embrace new opportunities.\nAt ExpatRoute we work hard to provide expats with the information they need to create and maintain a successful life abroad. However, if you are thinking of investing your money, we suggest approaching an independent financial advisor who can help you build an investment portfolio that works with your expat goals.", "score": 1}
+{"text": "The Partnership for 21st Century Skills has developed a Framework for 21st Century Learning that identifies key learning and innovation skills, otherwise known as the 4 C's: Creativity, Critical Thinking, Communication, and Collaboration. In the Bring Your Own Technology (BYOT) classroom, facilitating the 4 C's becomes a logical extension of classroom instruction as students are connected to their learning and each other with their personal technology devices. With their own tools, students are able to practice and develop the 4 C's as the teacher coaches, scaffolds, and models the learning. Of course, the students are the experts in their own devices, but the teacher has to create an environment that is conducive of exploration and inquiry so that students have the opportunity to learn how to learn with their technology. One way the teacher can encourage this type of environment is by learning alongside the students.\nAnother strategy for implementing the 4 C's within instruction is to promote them with the use of web tools and project-based learning. Although there is some overlap among the 4 C's depending on how the tools are being used, I have provided some specific examples below:\nCreativity \u2013 VoiceThread\nA VoiceThread is an online slide show that enables students to upload and present images, documents, and videos and then share comments by writing or recording messages. They can also draw on the slides in order to annotate them during the presentation. Although VoiceThread is a great tool for supporting all of the 4 C's, it can encourage creative expression with the students' devices. Students can take their own photos and create presentations to demonstrate what they have learned, and the other students can provide creative comments. For example, in a study of similes (comparisons using like or as), a student can take a photo of an object with an iPod Touch and optimize it in a free photo app (one of my personal favorites is Pixlr-o-matic). The student then saves the photo and uploads it into VoiceThread. The other students can then provide interesting similies in their responses that involve the object in the photo. There is an app for VoiceThread that can be downloaded on the iTunes store for iPods and iPads, or VoiceThreads can be created online on Macs or PCs.\nCritical thinking \u2013 Socrative\nSocrative is a web-based student response system that enables teachers to ask multiple choice, true/false, or short answer questions that students answer on their own devices. Teachers can also create and save quizzes ahead of time for students to complete, or they can begin ad-hoc sessions during class discussions with students. One aspect of Socrative that promotes critical thinking is that after asking an open-ended short answer question, the teacher can easily choose to have student vote on their answers. Teachers can also have students participate in an activity in Socrative called Space Race in which students can compete in random or assigned teams to complete a teacher-made quiz and be the first to get their team's rocket to the finish line. I have seen this activity increase collaboration even in a high school AP Calculus class as the students worked in groups to solve problems and answer the questions. It works effectively even if every student does not have a device because the students can take share a device to answer questions and the new concepts are more likely to be retained as the students learn them in groups. The short answer option can be useful for the students to text in their own questions, and the teacher can then pose these questions back to the class or use them in a future quiz. Socrative also provides a preset Ticket Out the Door to assess student understanding of the learned content. There is a teacher app for Socrative (iOS, Android) as well as a student app (iOS, Android), so teachers are able to conduct the session from their smartphones or laptops, and students can participate via smartphones, laptops, or desktops.\nCommunication \u2013 Edublogs\nWith Edublogs, teachers and students can develop blogs for education that help to provide opportunities for communication in the classroom and in a global community. When students have their own blogs, they are able to publish the results of their project-based learning and collaboration and share what they have accomplished with others. Writing becomes more authentic as students have a purpose for their writing assignments, and students are able to customize their blogs according to their personal learning interests and styles. Although a blog is useful for publishing creative writing, it can also be used to communicate technical concepts like the steps in a scientific process accompanied with photos of the activity. Edublogs also publishes an annual list of the best blogs in education as well as additional web tools and apps on The Edublog Awards Blog. This list can be a useful resource for teachers and students as they begin developing their blogs. A teacher can sign up each student in the class for a blog, even in elementary grades, because an email address is not required. There is no app for Edublogs, but blogs can be edited through the Internet browser on smartphones, tablets, netbooks, and laptops.\nCollaboration \u2013 Wikispaces\nA wiki is a collaborative space for teachers and students to construct their learning experiences together. Teachers can develop class wikis in Wikispaces and easily upload all of their students, even if they do not have email addresses. In the wiki, the teacher and students can encourage a sense of community in the classroom by sharing files and creating content. As the students edit their work within the wiki, the teacher can track who made all of the changes to determine student participation. Like a blog, a wiki makes a good launchpad for encouraging BYOT. Since the students are working independently or in small groups, the wiki gives them a place to continue their projects or assignments while the teacher is learning alongside and coaching other students in the class. One example of how a wiki was used in a middle school math classroom, is that the teacher divided the students into groups to explain particular problem solving strategies and mathematical concepts. In this manner, the students in the class actually produced their own math \"textbook\" as an on-going project that they were able to use as a resource. Although, there is no app for Wikispaces, the students are able to edit text on the browser of their handheld devices, and they are able to use tablets, laptops, and desktops to complete all of their other editing in the wiki.\nSome final thoughts\u2026\nThe above resources are currently free, at least for individual teacher accounts, or a district may choose to subscribe to them in order to receive analytics or more customization. Their use in the BYOT classroom can be a good way for teachers to begin implementing BYOT and encouraging students to bring their own technology tools to school to facilitate their learning.\nWhat other tools and strategies can be used to promote the 4 C's in today's digital age classrooms?", "score": 5}

+{"text": "The word 'antebrachial' is the anatomical word for 'inner forearm'. The medial antebrachial cutaneous nerve provides the sensory innervation of the medial forearm skin, which is superimposed by the olecranon.\nTogether with the posterior and lateral antebrachials, the cutaneous nerves, it is responsible for the sensation of the skin of the forearm.\nFunction And Structure\nThe Antebrachial Region is classed as the 'inner forearm'.\nIt emerges from the medial antebrachial cutaneous nerve through the brachial plexus and the sensory cell body located between C8 and T1.\nThe medial antebrachial cutaneous nerve travels up the upper arm and runs along the brachial fascia to the basilic vein, approximately 10 cm proximally to the medial epicondyle.\nWhen the nerve leaves the fascia, it splits into two large branches, front and back, and continues to the wrist. The spinal nerve (C5-T1) originating from the cervical and thoracic spine is rooted in the biceps and divides into a root-trunk division in the spinal cord that ends in a branch.\nThe medial antebrachial cutaneous nerve is one of the three non-terminal branches of the medial cord, which represents a continuation of the anterior division of the lower trunk of the brachial plexus itself.\nThe other two non-terminal branches are the medial brachial cutaneous nerve. The nerves which ensure the sensory innervation of the medial arm, and the medial mammary nerve which ensures the motor innervation of the pectoralis major and minor.\nThe medial spinal cord is located in the superficial axillary artery, the veins, the axillary fossa, the median nerve and the ulna nerve. The medial strand contributes fibres to the median nerve and continues to the ulna nerves.\nIt runs along the basilica until the elbow level where it divides the elbow into volar and ulnar branches, which ensure sensory innervation of the medial forearm membrane and olecranon.\nIt then enters the brachial fascia, which lie above the brachial biceps, and runs to the ulnar side of the brachial artery. On his way he is accompanied by the basil vein, which crosses the triceps and brachial muscles.\nThe volar branch of the ramus volaris (anterior branch) is the largest and runs in front of the median vena cubiti, median and basilica.\nIt descends to the front of the ulna side of the forearm and distributes filaments through the skin of the wrist that communicate with the palmar cutaneous and ulna nerve.\nThe ulnar branch crosses the medial side of a basilica before a medial epicondyle at the back of the forearms and descends from the rear to the ulnar side (wrist), spreading filaments over the skin.\nIt communicates with the medial brachial cutaneous, dorsal antebrachial and cutaneous branches as well as the radial and dorsal branches of the ulnar nerve.\nCompression of the lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerve in the biceps tendon occurs when the nerve leaves the point of the brachial fascia at the proximal elbow flexor fold.\nSymptoms include pain in the anterolateral elbow, burning and dysesthesia, which radiates to the lateral forearm when the forearm protons and the elbow is extended.\nLateral antebrachial sectional neuropathy is rare and is often overlooked in the case of elbow pain in throwing athletes.\nIf the patient does not respond to non-surgical treatment, the surgical decompression of the nerve can result in complete relief of symptoms and a return to full activity if under local anaesthetic.\nThe patient can also be treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, rest, activity modification, stretching, blocking or splint.", "score": 3}

+{"text": "The 5-day winning streak in S&P 500 and SPY is a pattern easy to spot on a daily chart but any inferences about the future direction of the market based on only this pattern are based on selection bias. There may be other patterns on the chart that are as, or maybe even more, important as the 5-day winning streak pattern. Chartists and most analysts who rely on backtesting visually identified patterns often commit this notorious fallacy.\nIdentifying pattern visually on the charts and trying to tarde based on them was a practice followed in the middle of the 20th century. Inferences were made based on what some authors have asserted without any sort of quantitative details. Then in the late 1980s backtesting came along and some traders attempted to quantify the impact of the patterns that were visually identifiable. Problems arose however when either the patterns could not be objectively described or when the selection bias was too large because of the presence of other not as easily identifiable patterns that implied different conclusions. When these notorious problems were realized many abandoned visual chart analysis for other methods, like for example algorithmic trading. It is peculiar though that even nowadays there are scores of analysts who pick one easily identifiable pattern on a chart, backtest it on only one symbol and then try to make inferences about the market direction being ignorant of the fact that in most cases any trade samples obtained in this way are nowhere near those required to guarantee the statistical significance of the claims made.\nAn example of such malpractice is the 5-day winning streak in SPY as of yesterday's close, shown on the chart below:\nThe Winning Streak Indicator of 6 days on the bottom pane is at 100% meaning that during the last 6 days the market registered successive higher closes. However, analyzing this pattern alone in SPY is not sufficient for making inferences about the future direction of the market because of the small sample of trades, although the results may be positive for a large selection of exists. In addition, there are other patterns that may be important. Visual identification leads nowhere when trying to answer these questions and the automation of the process is required.\nSpecific aspects of this task may be accomplished by using the scan function of Price Action Lab, which is a software program that identifies short-term price pattern formations by analyzing price action in a completely automated way. In the case of SPY, a workspace was setup with non-adjusted daily data since inception, 2% profit target and stop-loss and the remaining parameters set as shown:\nPAL was instructed to look only at 6-bar patterns for this example only. The results are as follows:\nIn the screenshot above each line corresponds to one exact price pattern. P is the win rate, P1 is the 1-Bar win rate, Trades is the number of historical trades, CL is the maximum number of consecutive losers and Target and Stop the values of the profit target and stop-loss. C indicates the type of target and stop-loss, in this case it is a percentage added to the entry price, shown under Trade On as the open of next bar.\nIt may be seen that a total of 9 distinct 6-bar price patterns were identified. Pseudo code generation will show that the first pattern with Index 1 is the 6-day closing winning streak. This pattern has 93 non-overlapping trades in the history of SPY, win rate equal to 58.06% and 1-bar win rate equal to 0%, meaning that at no instance the profit target was hit at the following day after its formation. This is the first indication of lack on momentum in the case of this pattern.\nA backtest of this pattern shows an equity curve that is not impressive at all:\nOnly after 2007 this pattern generated an upward slopping equity curve. One cannot just claim from aggregate results that this is a pattern with a bullish bias because it all depends on prevailing market conditions. The robustness of this pattern to variations in the exits is shown below:\nIt may be seen that for small profit-target and stop-loss the performance is negative and the Robustness Index is only at 68.42, meaning that only 68.42% of the variations show positive expectation. This is another indication of a not so strong bullish bias.\nThen, a portfolio backtest on Dow-30 stocks with adjusted data since 01/2000 shows disappointing results for this pattern as it was profitable only in 14 stocks and the portfolio profit factor barely stayed close to 1:\nThe conclusion is that what one sees on a chart \u2013 because that is easy to do \u2013 and backtests on a single security may be an artifact of randomness. This 6-day winning streak in SPY has no statistically significant bullish bias and although the market may continue to rise there is no causality here, i.e. this pattern does not imply a continuation of the uptrend but it is rather a random formation or outcome of it.\nDetermining the market bias\nIn order to determine the market bias all possible patterns must be accounted for and put in a proper ensemble. Then that gives the directional bias or probability. This can be accomplished with the p-indicator function of Price Action Lab. The results for SPY for different target and stop-loss values are as follows:\nExplanation of the results\nThe probability of an up move and of a down move for a particular target/stop pair are the long success rate and the short success rate of the p-indicator, P-long and P-short, respectively, as shown on the screenshot above. P-long is a measure of the probability that a long position initiated at the next open will result in a profit for the corresponding profit target and stop-loss values. Similarly, P-Short is a measure of the probability that a short position initiated at the next open will result in a profit for the corresponding profit target and stop-loss values. A more useful measure in this case is the difference between the long and short probabilities, shown as P-delta, which is a measure of the bias, or tendency, of the market to move towards the long or short direction. The parameter S represents a significance measure of the calculated numbers with a zero value indicating no significance, values around 5 indicating moderate significance and values above 8 indicating high significance.\nIt may be seen that for profit target and stop-loss pairs of 1% and 2% the directional bias is negative and that may mean that after such pattern there is profit taking. The directional bias rises to above 54% for 5% profit target and stop-loss. Note that these results were adjusted for SPY trend bias (detrended).\nDisclosure: no relevant positions.\nCharting program: Amibroker", "score": 1}

+{"text": "How clean should turkey be before cooking?\nAccording to a study by the food safety experts at the USDA, washing or rinsing raw turkey can put you at risk of foodborne illness. There's only one time you should wash a raw turkey, and that is after brining. Otherwise, do not wash a turkey before cooking.\nHow soon do you need to clean a turkey?\nField dress the bird as soon as possible and for the rest you should be okay to get it ready for the freezer or the table when you get home. Fortunately, 90 minutes is generally not an issue. Once home, you can pluck the feathers and clean the turkey in cold water. By the way, Bonne Appetite!\nDo you need to rinse a Butterball turkey?\nTherefore, you don't need to wash your turkey, but you will need a food thermometer on Thanksgiving Day. Remember to check the turkey's temperature in the innermost part of the thigh and wing, and the thickest part of the breast to be sure it is free of illness-causing bacteria.\nIs brining a turkey worth it?\nThe short answer: there's no reason to brine if you have a flavorful turkey. \u2026 To keep your turkey moist, cover the breast with foil so that it doesn't dry out. You can also stuff some stuffing under the skin of the breast to keep the meat from drying out and add even more flavor.\nShould you season your turkey the night before?\nYou can season your turkey the night before or as far in advance as two days. Salt is a great (and non-negotiable) place to start, but there are so many seasonings that really rev up the flavor of a bland bird.\nDo you leave the plastic on turkey legs?\nSpeaking of plastic, turkeys usually come with a plastic or metal crimp, called a hock lock, holding the legs together at the back. You can leave it on or take it off; the legs may cook more evenly without it. \u2026 Instead, cook the stuffing in a casserole for the last hour the turkey is roasting.\nWhere is the neck cavity in a turkey?\nNormally, you'll find the neck inside the cavity at the tail end of the turkey. The bag of giblets is usually stuck under the flap of skin that is covering the neck end of the turkey.\nHow do you prepare a turkey the night before?\nPlace the turkey in a shallow dish just large enough to hold it and wrap it tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for one or two days. The day before you plan to roast the turkey, remove the plastic wrap and leave the turkey in the fridge. The skin will dry out and turn a little translucent.", "score": 2}

+{"text": "Yerevan Hopes to Shine as Literary Capital in 2012\nWhile it dates back thousands of years, with notable authors including Hovaness Toumanyan and Gostan Zarian, Armenian literature has largely remained overlooked by the international community, but that might be changing in 2012, when Armenia's capital city Yerevan will hold the title of UNESCO World Book Capital.\nGranted by the International Publishers Association (IPA), the International Booksellers Federation and the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions, Yerevan is the 12th city to be designated World Book Capital after cities such as Madrid, New Dehli, Montreal and Beirut.\n\"It is the first city of the post Soviet space to be granted that title,\" Alexis Krikorian, director of IPA Freedom to Publish program said in an email interview, adding that the title is an initiative which aims at fostering books and reading culture.\n\"Yerevan built an exciting programme focusing on freedom of expression, copyright, literature and activities for children who will be tomorrow's readers, authors and publishers. This latter aspect (activities for children) was of particular importance.\"\nThere's also a symbolic twist \u2013 2012 will mark the 500th anniversary of the first Armenian printed book in Venice \u2013 \"Urbathagirq\" or \"Friday Book\" published by Hakob Meghapart.\nThe designation comes at a crucial time in Armenian literary history \u2013 with publishing and reading numbers having declined steeply and steadily since the Soviet collapse. According to an article by Armine Ghazarian in the Armenian newspaper Yerkir,the number of books in public libraries in Armenia had, at the time of the article in 2005, decreased by 2.4 million since independence from Soviet rule. The number of library users had decreased by almost 500,000.\n\"There are only five bookstores in the Armenian capital,\" Krikorian said. \"In the last days of Soviet Armenia, the largest dailies had print runs of around 100,000. Nowadays, the largest dailies have print runs of around 5,000. The average book print run is 500.\"\nNairi Hakhverdi, an Armenian author originally from the Netherlands who is now living in Armenia says that as far as she can see, the publishing industry is at an all-time low in the country.\n\"In the Soviet Union, books were published one after another and sold like hot cakes, as the saying goes,\" she said. \"Now the authors have to pay for their own publication and hardly anyone buys their books. The industry is practically dead and I don't think it's because of the incursion of the internet, but because nobody cares enough to invest money into it.\"\nHakhverdi, who recently published a translation of Aksel Bakunts' \"The Dark Valley,\" feels the literary culture in Armenia is divided into two groups \u2013 the old and the new. Where the old was considered good during the Soviet Union, taught in school and studied by academia, the new seems to be less afraid of the internet and more involved in literary culture in other parts of the world, she said.\nOn top of this divide, Hakhverdi cites a gender problem \u2013 whereas national treasures like Hovaness Toumanian and Khachatur Abovian are praised, women literary figures are largely ignored.\n\"Even a praised poetess like Silva Kaputikyan does not have a statue or street in her name, let alone such giants as Shushanik Kurghinian and Zabel Yessayan,\" she said.\nAram Pachyan, an award-winning Armenian author originally from Vanadzor, echos Hakhverdi's sentiments.\nArmenian literature is in a state of crisis, he says.\n\"At most, books receive a 500 circulation print, but hardly 50 of copies are read by the public,\" he said in an Armenian-language email interview that has been translated, adding that the crisis is further aided by the fact that established works by Armenian authors do not get circulated outside of Armenia.\n\"Armenia today lives in a political blockade, we don't have any ties to Europe, we live in the condition of closed borders, and our language is not English, French or Spanish, which is spoken by the world's general population. Also, a very big problem exists \u2013 established Armenian literature isn't systematically translated; a writer/translator relationships seems nonexistent.\"\nHakverdi references the apathy towards Armenian literature in general as to why contemporary literary culture is barely there.\n\"Where in richer countries like Europe and America new authors are churned out and turned into bestselling authors almost on a daily basis, contemporary Armenian authors are practically unknown to their own people and completely obscure to the rest of the world,\" she said.\nWhile Armenian literature hasn't seen a substantial amount of translations, notable translators include Alice Stone Blackwell, who translated numerous Armenian poems and even published an anthology of her translations, and author Ara Baliozian, who has translated books by Gostan Zarian among others.\nPachyan,the 2010 recipient of the Youth Prize of the President of Armenia, hopes that 2012 will bring new bookstores to the city and new books to the libraries in Armenia.\n\"I'd like our city to have one of the world's best bookstores,\" he said.\nLjubljana, the capital of Slovenia holds the current title of world Book Capital, while Buenos Aires will take it for 2011.\nOnline and Offline Armenian Literary Resources, recommended by Nairi Hakhverdi\n1.

However, we had a great experience thanks to Bronson staff.\nFrom the moment we pulled up, we were greeted by staff who was screening for COVID-19. They were very friendly and got us through quickly. When we were brought back to the pre-op room, there were toys and a surgery \"woof woof\" (a stuffed animal dog that is funded by the Bronson Health Foundation). Ava loved these toys and it kept her entertained the entire time. Each staff member involved came by to introduce themselves, go over the procedure, and then answer any questions we had. Then the time came! Two nurses (Cara C and Rhonda) came to get Ava and they had the face shields on so Ava could see their faces. They were very bubbly, energetic, and engage with Ava in a way that made her so comfortable with them. More importantly, they made my wife comfortable.\nAfter the procedure, Dr. Prophit came and met with us to talk through how the procedure went and give us advice on the following days. She was very helpful and so kind. When we went to the recovery room, our little girl was disoriented from the anesthesia so the team brought in a sensory rover (which is also funded by the Bronson Health Foundation) and this was a game-changer. The rover has a bubbler that lights up. The sound, the motion and the colors distracted her from the things she was feeling and kept her entertained.\nWe can't thank the nurses and Dr. Prophit enough for their exceptional care in making Ava and us comfortable.

Alturas would later be split into Elmore, Logan (which would also disappear), Lincoln, and Blaine counties between 1889 and 1895.\nOne of these Republican delegates was James W. Ballantine of Muldoon is pictured in this portrait. Ballantine, the Superintendent of the Little Wood River Mining and Smelting Co., was a Registrar for Muldoon, and he would also take interest in ranching and merchandising. He was joined by fellow Republican delegates James H. Beatty of Hailey and A. Joseph Pinkham of Ketchum.\nThe Democrat delegates consisted of Orlando B. Batten of Ketchum, Patrick McMahon of Ketchum, and Lycurgus Vineyard of Hailey at Convention representing Alturas County. Colonel Ballantine would be a popular politician, securing numerous nominations for public offices but refusing many due to his desire to focus on his own business. He would be elected the Mayor of Bellevue several times and was just 8 votes shy of being a United States Senator. He would later die in 1907 of heart failure.\nTo learn more about Idaho's Constitution, please visit The Community Library and see Creating and Conserving the Constitution.

+{"text": "The cheese woman, or What did people eat and not eat during the Siege of Paris?\nHere in France, the 1870\u20131871 Siege of Paris by the Prussians is largely forgotten \u2014 except for one thing: On a mang\u00e9 du rat \u2014 \"We ate rat.\"\nThe Siege is notorious for the culinary boundaries it led starving Parisians to cross. But when you look into it a little deeper, you realize that it wasn't just rat for lunch and some animal from the zoo for dinner.\nLearning about what most Parisians ate during the four months of the Siege was a fascinating and unexpectedly touching experience for me. Instead of being an initiation to all the different kinds of meat you can eat, it taught me how surprisingly little has changed in 150 years when it comes to putting together some dinner when the best food is scarce.\nActually, the best food wasn't scarce, at least in my opinion. I often think about how I would have lived before chocolate was brought to Europe from the New World and made widely available and affordable. I'd probably be many pounds lighter, but would I be as happy a person? It turns out that when it comes to the Siege of Paris, when food was notoriously scarce, that's one thing I wouldn't have had to worry about. Chocolate was still quite obtainable and remained a predictable treat for many Parisians.\nThat's not the only thing: Wine, coffee, jams, and sweets were also still in good supply. It's said that Parisian children could still have their go\u00fbter with little change.\nDry goods like rice and even pasta were also able to be found \u2014 and then there were canned goods. According to sources like American Ambassador to France Elihu Washburne, canned goods were easily obtained in Paris, but the average Parisian didn't buy or consume them very often. This made it easier for Americans, who were more accepting and maybe more used to these preserved foods, to find a way to add some variety and traditional sources of protein, fruit, and vegetables to their diets during the Siege.\nSo, then, what's the deal with the rat-eating, or the countless sketches and paintings of people waiting miserably on breadlines and in long queues to get their meager ration at the butcher's?\nWhen it came to having fresh meat and decent bread (this latter being a staple of the Parisian diet, as it continues to be today), that's where there was a problem. The city had gathered and requisitioned farm animals within its gates and began rationing fairly quickly. But still, with around 2 million mouths to feed, these sources of meat didn't last long.\nThe same goes for the grains used to make bread. Bread continued to be available throughout the Siege, but other things were added to it instead of flour. I've read that by the end of the Siege, even hay was being used!\nThe bad bread became so emblematic that souvenir shadowboxes were sold after the Siege that included lists of important battles alongside the price of different types of vegetables (also a rarity), and a small piece of actual bread from the time.\nOne of the coolest resources I came across while researching Hearts at Dawn is a curious little book \u2014 more like a booklet in terms of its length \u2014 called La Cuisini\u00e8re Assi\u00e9g\u00e9e, ou l'art de vivre en temps de si\u00e8ge (The Besieged Cook, or art de vivre in times of siege). From what I can gather, this book (credited to an anonymous author) was published shortly after the Siege as a sort of souvenir to raise funds for newly orphaned children. It was also possibly a still-pertinent guide, since the city was being re-provisioned (shortly afterwards, the Commune of Paris would cause more food shortages). It contains a number of recipes for meals and treats that could be prepared despite food shortages\u2026.\n\u2026although some ingredients were easier to get than others. For instance, several recipes include potatoes, but these weren't cheap or as easy to come by as they normally would be. In late December 1870, la f\u00eate de la charit\u00e9, a charity ball held by the city's wealthy to raise money for ambulances (improvised hospitals set up in wealthy households, theaters, and other unusual locales), featured a bag of potatoes as one of the items to be auctioned off.\nAnd then of course there are the sources of meat. Many of the recipes include horse, dog, cat, or rat meat (along with detailed instructions on the best ways to prepare each one \u2014 dog needs to be tenderized longer and rat meat can contain trichinosis). But as the table of prices at the start of the book reveals, if you were poor or if you weren't able to get to a butcher's who provided these, you wouldn't be eating them.\nSo, many of the recipes offer alternative suggestions. For instance, the recipe for boulettes de pomme de terre (potato balls) suggests using leftovers from your recent meal of boiled horse \u2014 but any other kind of meat could be substituted.\nMeat aside, many of the recipes strike me as terribly modern and very much like something you might throw together if you were hungry but hadn't gone food shopping in a while. For instance, there are simple recipes like cooking rice in a bouillon of some kind to flavor it. There's pasta and tomato sauce. Soups can be made with water, bits of bread (the same way we'd use croutons), whatever vegetables you might have at hand, and some garlic for seasoning.\nSometimes, things do get a bit out there, though, like the recipe for riz aux confitures, which is what it sounds like: rice with jam(s) mixed into it. To be fair, the recipe does call for adding additional seasonings, and maybe to a certain extent it was like a fruity rice pudding, but still. It remains jam and rice.\nMany of the sources that I used spoke of the fact that of all the letters that remain from the Siege, one of the most common complaints of besieged residents wasn't hunger but\u2026indigestion. Reading La Cuisini\u00e8re Assi\u00e9g\u00e9e gives you an insight into why. Although many of the recipes would be perfectly fine to eat \u2014 very much including pasta and tomato sauce \u2014 not all Parisians had access to all of these things, and had to improvise in some odd ways. Add to that the fact that while they were eating, not everyone was eating to the point that they felt full, and it was a disaster for the digestive tract.\nSome good did come from the Siege's food shortages, though. The city made rations available to all inhabitants. One source I read remarked on the fact that many of the poorest Parisians ate better than they would in normal times. This is a sad fact, since of course the rations weren't copious, especially as time went on.\nOn the other hand, you might be wondering, who was eating the zoo animals? Popular culture pictures starving Parisians storming the Jardin des Plantes and stealing animals to eat, but in fact, the zoo itself began to sell off its inhabitants, mostly to the upscale Boucherie Anglaise. There, people could taste exotic meats of all kinds. Most of it doesn't seem to have tasted very good.\nWealthy Parisians and foreigners who stayed in the city often dined at restaurants, which stayed open. Some politely concealed what was actually being eaten. For instance, \"rabbit\" probably meant \"cat,\" since it turns out that the two taste similar. Vegetables weren't always fresh or of the best quality, even at the finest establishments.\nOther restaurants were much more open about the source of their offerings. You can find several menus online that show the joking spirit of many Parisians at the time. The most famous is probably this one, a Christmas Day menu from the restaurant Voisin. Among the offerings are stuffed donkey head, roasted camel, and my favorite, \"cat flanked by rats\".\nBut this menu also shows the way certain mundane things were still easily available. For example, several wines, as well as coffee and liqueurs are listed.\nThe cheese on the menu, on the other hand, would have been a luxury. Apparently, cheese was one of the foods Parisians missed most.\nSometimes when you research history, you come across something that crosses the centuries and makes you feel so viscerally close to the past. One of these experiences for me came from a scene whose source I regret not noting down.\nThe author described seeing a woman and her little boy looking in a shop window. \"The Siege will end soon,\" the mother tells her son, \"and then we can eat cheese again!\"\nThis is exactly the kind of conversation I'd have with my son under those circumstances.\n~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~\nIf you'd like to learn more about the Siege of Paris, feel free to visit the Resources and Images pages of my website, for links of all sorts. I've also linked to a free online copy of La Cuisini\u00e8re Assi\u00e9g\u00e9e.

+{"text": "Social media platforms have taken the world by storm over the past decade. With smartphones and tablets, millions of people are using social media apps each day. Twitter, Facebook and Instagram are three of the most commonly used apps and websites. This article discusses the differences between these sites and the benefits that each one provides.\nTwitter is a platform that is much more focused on sharing information. Some people compare Twitter to a social gathering or party. When you want to find gossip, news, crisis information, and other stories, Twitter is the go-to place. Most major news outlets and entertainment outlets use Twitter to keep millions of people updated on the hottest stories.\nOne negative aspect of Twitter is that contains a lot of noise and clutter. With so many people using the site, it can become difficult to navigate the search results. For example, say you searched for \"One Direction\" to find news about this band. You'd also find tons of search results from random fans. This can make it time-consuming to find the information you want to see.\nMost people involved in internet marketing and social media marketing say that Facebook is the best platform for connecting with people on a more in depth level. This comes down to the way the platform is designed, and the conversations that can take place there.\nThere is a lot of space on Facebook which can be used for questions and replies, as well as images and videos. This leads to better connections over time, and the Facebook users seems to like this, and respond to this.\nAs such, to build a following and boost traffic on Facebook, you need to be offering valuable information on a regular basis, instead of just sending out sales messages, or trying to close people on your products and services. This is the best way to use it.\nInstagram is a platform that is much more focused on sharing photos and videos. It is used by everyday people, celebrities, and major brands alike. As the name suggests, it allows users to instantly snap and share videos and photos in mere seconds. Instagram also allows users to connect their profiles to Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr. This means they can easily share their media throughout multiple channels.\nThe search feature on Instagram is a bit more refined than it used to be. You can sort your search results by hashtags, usernames, and other options. This makes it easy to find the photos and videos you are looking for. However, it has not always been this simple. The search feature used to be a bit cluttered like Twitter is.\nFor social and business purposes, Twitter and Instagram both offer numerous benefits. Overall, the apps and sites are pretty easy to use when it comes to sharing content. Use Twitter to share and find text-based information, and use Instagram to share and find photos and videos. You get the best of both worlds when using both platforms.\nOverall, these are the primary differences and benefits of Twitter and Instagram.

We have offices in Duluth, Georgia, where attorney Cyclone Covey (yes, real name) leads our Atlanta practice. If you're being harassed by debt collectors, we may be able to help. Call us at 657-845-3100. We represent consumers on contingency in most of our cases, meaning we only charge a fee from the money we win. We don't charge for consultations and don't charge to review your case and do an initial evaluation of it.\nA lot of people think there's nothing you can do if a debt collector is targeting you \u2013 they think you just have to sit there and take it. But that isn't true. There are right ways and wrong ways to try to collect a debt, and if you're getting harassed, it might actually be illegal.\nThere are two basic laws that help Georgia victims of abusive debt collection practices: the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, which lawyers call the \"FDCPA,\" and the Georgia Fair Business Practices Act. The FDCPA makes a lot of unfair practices illegal specifically when it comes to debt collection. The Georgia Fair Business Practices Act is more general, but it stops businesses from engaging in practices that are deceptive or unfair. If you've ever been called twenty times in a day by a debt collector who already knows you can't pay, you'd probably agree that's \"unfair.\"\nThe Fair Debt Collection Practices Act lets victims of debt collectors sue for $1,000 in damages in what is essentially a penalty \u2013 even if you're not out of pocket any money, you can still win the $1,000 if they're breaking the rules. The point is to make sure that debt collection companies who break the rules can't get away scot free.\nYou can also get damages if you've been harmed financially, or even emotional distress damages if you've been treated badly enough. There've been some cases of truly outrageous behavior from debt collectors \u2013 one company even set up a fake courtroom with a woman pretending to be a judge. When the collectors got people there, the fake judge would threaten to put debtors in jail. Not all debt collectors go that far, but some make threats, tell people they might get prosecuted, threaten to sue when they can't, or call you over and over or even harass your family.\nIn one case in Georgia, a debt collector called a mother whose daughter had supposedly taken out an $800 debt in her name.

The debt collector \"threatened to send the Cobb County Sheriff to Plaintiff's home to arrest her if she did not immediately make a payment on the loan.\" If you're thinking that a debt collector can't threaten to send the Cobb County Sheriff to arrest you, you're right\u2014the mother won $ $26,631.18 in damages.\nIn another case in the Northern District of Georgia, a debt collector sent \"numerous letters improperly threatening damage to plaintiff's credit rating and business reputation.\" Florence v. Nat'l Sys., CIVIL ACTION NO. C82-2020A, 1983 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 20344 (N.D. Ga. Oct. 14, 1983). The plaintiff said they didn't even owe the debt, but the debt collector was threatening their credit rating anyway. The debt collector sent a threatening letter saying: \"Since you have ignored our last letter, let me tell you what is going to happen next. A full and detailed account of your deceptive business practices is going to be sent to our credit reporting agencies to be entered into their computers. At the very least your credit rating will be damaged, and your professional standing as well.\" It didn't go well for that debt collector either \u2013 the plaintiff won $8,000 and the debt collector had to pay their attorney's fees.\nIn another case filed by attorneys against a debt collector in Norcross, Georgia, debt collectors started calling the plaintiff's friend and leaving debt collection messages. Burns v. Halsted Fin. Servs., LLC, No. 1:15-cv-4287-LMM-JKL, 2016 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 139440 (N.D. Ga. Sep. 13, 2016). The friend didn't have anything to do with the debt \u2013 it was just a way to try to harass the person into paying. The court held that this violated the FDCPA, and it ordered the debt collector to pay $1,500 to the victim and to pay their attorney's fees, too.\nSome debt collectors try to collect debts you don't actually owe, or they get the wrong name and don't bother to check. They might charge fees that aren't even legal. They might call you in the middle of the night or lie to you about all kinds of things.\nEvery case is different.

Al Qaeda is in Iraq now. If we withdraw prematurely, al Qaeda will survive [and] proclaim victory \u2026 Civil war in Iraq could easily descend into genocide, and destabilize the entire region as neighboring powers come to the aid of their favored factions. I believe a reckless and premature withdrawal would be a terrible defeat for our security interests and our values.\"\nIn his sole attack directed explicitly at Democratic presidential contenders Senators Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., and Barack Obama, D-Ill., McCain said, \"[The] consequences of our defeat would threat us for years and those who argue for [withdrawal], as both Democratic candidates do, are arguing for a course that would eventually draw us into a wider and more difficult war that would entail far greater dangers and sacrifices than we have suffered to date.\"\nMcCain reiterated a prominent campaign theme of his: that radical Islam and terrorism are the transcendent threat of our time.\n\"Any president who does not regard this threat as transcending all others does not deserve to sit in the White House, for he or she does not take seriously enough the first and most basic duty a president has \u2014 to protect the lives of the American people,\" he said, in an oblique reference to the two Democrats vying for their party's presidential nomination.\nResponding, Obama campaign spokesperson Bill Burton said in a written statement, \"John McCain is determined to carry out four more years of George Bush's failed policies, including an open-ended war in Iraq that has cost us thousands of lives and billions of dollars while making us less safe. Barack Obama will change our foreign policy and renew America's leadership by responsibly ending the war in Iraq, finishing the fight in Afghanistan, and focusing on the 21st century challenges that conventional Washington has ignored for too long -- al Qaeda's core leadership and nuclear proliferation, poverty and genocide, climate change and disease.\"\nMcCain went on to propose greater strategic co-operation with America's European allies and other democracies.\nIn a seeming rebuke to the Bush Administration, he said, \"Our great power does not mean we can do whatever we want whenever we want, nor should we assume we have all the wisdom and knowledge necessary to succeed. We need to listen tot he views and respect the collective will of our democratic allies. When we believe international action is necessary, whether military, economic or diplomatic, we will try to persuade out friends that we are right. But we, in return, must be willing to be persuaded by them.\"\nMcCain called on the United States and international community to work to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons.\nAnd the Republican contender demanded greater action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to combat climate change, proposed ousting Russia from the G-8 group of economic partners because it is insufficiently democratic, and he said as president he would establish the goal of eradicating malaria in Africa.\nHe also made an apparent effort to allay concerns that he is insensitive to the horrors of war, noting that his father and grandfather, both Navy admirals, served in the Pacific in World War II.\nHis grandfather returned exhausted from war and died the next day of a heart attack. He said he lost friends in the Vietnam War, during which he himself was held prisoner by North Vietnamese for more than five years.\n\"I detest war,\" McCain said. \"When nations seek to resolve their differences by force of arms, a million tragedies ensue. Only a fool or a fraud sentimentalize the merciless reality of war.\"\nMcCain made no mention of the number of U.S. troop deaths in Iraq, which surpassed 4,000 earlier this week.", "score": 2}

+{"text": "Two days ago on the muddy tracks through the woods of Essen, Belgium, the Kerstperiode began. From now until January 1, cross races pepper the calendar with unheard of frequency, a gift from the cycling gods to those of us at home for the holidays or dealing with the throes of last-minute Christmas shoppers (sorry, Jens...). Today's stop on the advent calendar of crossmas was the World Cup event held at Namur, whose steep climbs and even steeper drop-offs are often coated in deep, rutted mud. Next up is the World Cup at Heusdon-Zolder on Thursday. Following that, we return to Diegem (Superprestige) on the 28th, Azencross Loenhout (BPost Bank) on the 30th, and finally slow down a touch late on New Year's Day after the GP Sven Nys (BPost Bank) finishes. If you're counting, that's six races in 13 days.\nEvery one of these races is great in it's own way - the mud of Namur, the sandy drop-offs of Zolder, the night race at Diegem, a course tailor made for Old Man Cyclocross himself on New Year's... But this year is shaping up to be a thriller of a Kerstperiode for other reasons as well.\nSven Nys' lack of form in the past month has been the topic of many discussions of late. Right now, the greatest cross racer of his generation is not leading any of the three major series, a rare thing indeed for a rider defined by his consistency more than anything else. The tussle to fill the void opened by Nys' low form is becoming particularly fierce. In Essen it was Wout Van Aert, the 20-year-old under the tutelage of Niels Albert and splitting his time between the U23 and Elite ranks, who won. As he crossed the line, Van Aert notched his fourth win of the season in the Elite ranks, and his third in the BPost Bank series, taking the overall lead from Nys. The youngster's year is ever more impressive considering he has not raced a full elite schedule. Neither has Mathieu Van der Poel, the 19-year-old phenom who has won two Elite races this year. But, Van Aert's real competition looks to come from Kevin Pauwels.\nAt 30, Pauwels is far more experienced than his young competitors and it has shown in recent races. In Zonhoven, he trailed Nys on the final lap but stayed within himself and rode the last corner more cleanly, setting up a sprint victory. At the World Cup in Milton Keynes, Pauwels sat at the back of the lead group until the final two laps, only then playing his cards. Today's World Cup in Namur played out in the same fashion as youngster Lars van der Haar pried out a lead upwards of ten seconds in the final laps only to see Pauwels slowly close it down before capitalizing on a mistake on van der Haar's part inside the final lap. Though at times Pauwels seems to lack the outright power of Van Aert, his experience will continue to create opportunities in the next two weeks.\nBelow Pauwels and Van Aert, there is much competition for the podium. Tom Meeusen has looked good in recent races and Klaas Vantornout will be hard to shake on any course heavy with mud. But, with an unusually dry cross season so far, just how heavy the next four races will be is questionable. Recent trajectories in form point to a battle between Pauwels and Van Aert, which is doubly exciting because we have seen few outright fights between the duo this year. This is in part due to their different racing styles - Van Aert tends to be aggressive in the early laps, carving out a lead early and then trying to pad it. Pauwels lurks behind, and the closest to a battle between the two we have seen happened at the World Cup in Koksijde where Van Aert went on the offensive early and Pauwels methodically worked his way up to second. Look for van der Poel to play interloper, especially on the fast course of Zolder.\nIn the Elite women's fields, arguably the fastest three women in the sport are finally, rarely, in the same field. Sanne Cant has had a field day this season, winning 12 of the last 14 races. But, Cant's dominance has come in the notable absence of three names - Katie Compton, Marianne Vos, and Katarina Nash. Compton's pedigree is unquestionable with over 100 UCI victories and she has been racing recently, but at the same time she has been struggling with allergies and asthma attacks in recent months, holding her back from full power. But even then, Compton came out on top of Cant in Namur today, showing signs of her old self.\nJoining Compton on the podium was Marianne Vos, in her first cyclocross race since earning her seventh world championship title last February. Vos takes an annual break in the first half of the season to recover and recharge from a long road season before racing sparingly in the lead into the World Championships. Though she will not do every race in the upcoming two weeks, her second place today - due to a mistake in the final laps - shows she has lost none of the magic she draws on to win most cross races she starts. But, coming out on top today was Katarina Nash, the Czech mountain biker and cross racer who dialed back her race days last year and this fall, primarily doing select races in the United States. Though she is almost undefeated as of late, Nash's competition is a step below that present in the motherland of cyclocross and her pedigree was a bit of an unknown. That, of course, has changed now with a win in her second race on European soil this year and her eighth this entire cross season. When she is on form, Nash is one of the best, particularly on a course like Zolder. Seeing how Cant deals with this uncommonly strong competition will be one of the major stories this Kerstperiode.", "score": 0}

+{"text": "05/05/2015 12:00 AM\nBring on the birds\nSadly modern day living and the associated depletion of natural habitats has led to a decline in the variety of wildlife typically seen in a domestic garden and this includes wild birds. Sparrows and Blackbirds, once commonly featured throughout the UK are now decreasing in numbers, as are Song Thrushes and Starlings. Figures from bird monitoring schemes across Europe suggest that House Sparrows have declined by a dramatic 150 million birds in the past 30 years while Starlings have seen their numbers fall by 45 million.\nIf you want to do your bit to encourage birds into your outside space, you need to create a habitat that will provide food, water and shelter, as well as a place that is conducive to breeding and safe from predators. In this blog post, we show you what can be done to ensure your garden represents an inviting haven designed to entice birds on a regular basis\nBird friendly plants\nBerry-bearing trees and shrubs such as hawthorn, rowan, holly, honeysuckle and ivy will not only provide fruit for birds to feed on but they will also provide somewhere for them to shelter and nest, whilst also attracting the relevant insects for the birds to eat. Cultivated and wild flowering plants such as sunflowers, evening primrose, teasel and shepherd's purse also provide seeds and a further source of insects.\nFor gardens that feature a lawn, allow the grass to grow slightly longer and if possible leave areas at different heights to optimise food potential for birds. A patch of long grass in the winter can also provide a source of shelter.\nFeeding for feathered friends\nAs well as natural planting that is designed to appeal to birds, providing additional food specifically suited to our feathered friends will soon have them flocking to your garden. Food can be left out on a bird table (kitchen scraps, nuts, seed mixes) as well as hung in a bird feeder (ideal for black sunflower seeds, sunflower hearts, sunflower rich mixes and unsalted peanuts). Don't forget to site the table / feeder no less that 2 metres from shrubs, a fence or trees so that there is an easy escape route in the event of a predator approaching.\nHome tweet home\nA bird box not only provides a safe and secure home to encourage breeding, it also provides welcome sanctuary during the winter months. Be aware that as well as coming in a variety of designs, various types of bird boxes are designed to attract different species of bird. Experts advise that if you live near woodland or in the countryside, it is best to opt for a bigger next box likely to appeal to Woodpeckers and Owls. Small bird boxes for common garden birds such as Blue Tits, Coal Tits, Greenfinches and Sparrows are recommended for town and city dwellers. Bird boxes should be constructed from a material that offers good insulation properties such as wood, coir or terracotta. Natural materials are better as this will enable the box to blend with the garden landscape. Drainage holes at the bottom of the box and ventilation holes to allow fresh air to flow freely are essential. A word of caution, don't be tempted by a nesting box that also doubles as a bird table as this will lead to conflict at feeding times. Make sure any bird box is positioned away from shrubs or bushes as these can potentially provide cover for predators and remove any perches, which can enable unwanted visitors (such as squirrels) gain easy access to eggs or young chicks.\nBathing for birds\nFinding a source of water is vital to the survival of any animal. Birds require water all year round for drinking and bathing, although this is especially important during the hot summer months when fluid is needed to maintain hydration levels and to wash off any dry dust, as well as during the winter when the cold weather will cause many sources of water to be inaccessible due to ice. If you don't want to run to the expense of installing a pond then a simple bird bath is an easy solution. These can range in price from a basic upturned dustbin lid or large bowl to a bespoke sophisticated pedestal or hanging bird bath feature. It is even possible to purchase a heated bird bath (the water is not actually warmed but during the winter it is kept at a temperature to prevent it from turning into ice). Another option is to install a solar powered birth bath, with the solar energy either warming the water or powering the movement of water. Having a bird bath that offers moving water will not only attract a greater number of birds, it will also represent minimal maintenance as the flowing water is less likely to stagnate.\nFor more information on how to attract birds to the garden visit www.rspb.org.uk.

+{"text": "Pennsylvania State Trooper Jay Splain has shot and killed four people in the line of duty since 2008 and is still on the job, according to The New York Times.\nIn 2008, Trooper Splain was honored at a county law enforcement banquet as a hero, the police officer of the year. The reason: He had shot and killed a suicidal man who allegedly pointed an Uzi submachine gun at him.\nThat was the first killing. Trooper Splain went on to fatally shoot three more people in separate incidents, an extraordinary tally for an officer responsible for patrolling largely rural areas with low rates of violent crime. All four who died were troubled, struggling with drugs, mental illness or both. In two cases, including that of the man with the Uzi, family members had called the police for help because their relatives had threatened to kill themselves.\nThe most recent death was last month, when Trooper Splain shot an unarmed man in his Volkswagen Beetle. After learning that the officer had previously killed three other people over nearly 15 years, the man's sister, Autumn Krouse, asked, \"Why would that person still be employed?\"\nTrooper Splain is an outlier. Most officers never fire their weapons. Until now, his full record of killings has not been disclosed; the Pennsylvania State Police even successfully fought a lawsuit seeking to identify him and provide other details in one shooting. In the agency's more than a century of policing, no officer has ever been prosecuted for fatally shooting someone, according to a spokesman. That history aligns with a longstanding pattern across the country of little accountability for police officers' use of deadly force.\nProsecutors and a grand jury concluded that Trooper Splain's first three lethal shootings were justified, and an inquiry into the most recent one is ongoing. Rather than have independent outsiders look into the killings, the police agency has conducted its own investigations \u2014 which were led by officers from his unit \u2014 raising questions about the rigor of the inquiries.\n\"When a police officer has shot at and potentially killed a civilian, the public will never trust the police agency to investigate itself and be unbiased,\" said Tom Hogan, the former district attorney of Chester County, Pa. A Republican, he helped write recommendations by the state prosecutors' association for independent investigations \u2014 a reform that many departments resist, but one sought by the national prosecutors' association and major policing groups.\nIn its review of Trooper Splain's killings, The New York Times found inconsistencies between the evidence of what occurred and what the state police said had happened. The officer appeared to have departed from police protocols in several of the fatal confrontations, according to interviews and an examination of investigative and court records.\nTo read more CLICK HERE", "score": 1}
+{"text": "Everyone is wrapping packages and mailing them to relatives and friends, especially this Christmas when Covid makes it hard or unsafe to be with our families. And the post office has some problems now so everyone is trying to get the packages off early.\nBut as crazy as all of this it, things regarding the post office have been crazier in the past. It's hard to believe but in 1913, a little over 100 years ago, when the parcel post service began in the US, people mailed babies. At least two children were mailed with stamps stuck on their clothes. I swear I'm not making this up. There're actually pictures of mail carriers with children they delivered.\nThis inspires all sorts of ideas for books, especailly steampunk stories or those set in the early 1900s. A child could be sent by mail by the mother to the baby's father, who didn't know about the baby. A child could mail themselves to the North Pole so they could see Santa and get all the toys. A runaway child could even stamp themselves to go out west for adventure. A child could get delivered to the wrong address.\nWestern mail order brides could actually be sent by mail with stamps on their dresses or foreheads. A mail order bride could be delivered to the wrong man. Instead of a train to deliver mail you can use an airship or a mail balloon to send stamped people about. And you certainly don't have to keep this practice in the Edwardian era, you can move it to the Victorian era wild west.\nA mailed woman or child could end up riding pillion with a pony express rider through Indian country. They could even ride on a stagecoach that carries mail. If the train, stage or airship is held up by outlaws and a mailed person is taken as a hostage is that tampering with US mail? Would the Calvary be brought in to recover the stolen person or rather package? The ideas are endless.\nWood Guthrie wrote a cute song about this practice of mailing children.\nThis practice of mailing children is definitely one of those what were they thinking scenarios. In this case, what they were thinking was how to do something cheaper. How to get out of the cost of an expensive train ticket. The how to do something cheaper thought process often causes people to do strange things. As a writer, you can always use that idea for one of your characters and as a reader, it's a fun premise to read. ; It might be a challenge to come up with something crazier than mailing children but if you can think of it chances are someone has actually done it. For many people cheaper and easier seems to outweigh unresponsible and dangerous and leads people to make some pretty foolish mistakes. Also characters who always try to do things on the cheap can be fun for readers to read and for writers to create.\nAnd if you like to read Steampunk or Victorian comedy romance, here are two of mine that fit the bill.Spinster Librarian Piety Plunkett is happy alone with her books, until \u2026\nA Wild Ghost Chase\nQueen Victoria orders the premiere phantom hunter, Sexton Dukenfield, to track down England's missing ghosts. On the job, Sexton stumbles into Ceridwen, a phantom Celtic warrior woman. Not only does Sexton find her intriguing as a clue to the missing spirits, her sultry beauty haunts him as well. Though they both burn with desire, it's difficult to quench their fiery passion since Ceridwen is so translucent.\nOn a mission through the bustling narrow streets of London, to a dreary match factory, and to the Otherworld and back to stop a genius scientist and his phantasm debilitater machine, the ghost and the ghost hunter also seek the secret \u2026to freeing the boundaries of life and death. Is it possible\u2026or just a wild ghost chase?", "score": 2}

+{"text": "Astrophysicist Michel Mayor at the VLT in Chile in 2004.\n|Born||January 12, 1942|\nMichel G. E. Mayor (born January 12, 1942, Lausanne) is a Swiss astrophysicist and professor emeritus at the University of Geneva's Department of Astronomy. He formally retired in 2007, but remains active as a researcher at the Observatory of Geneva. He is co-winner of the 2010 Viktor Ambartsumian International Prize,  and the winner of the 2015 Kyoto Prize.\nAfter earning a Master's degree in Physics at the University of Lausanne in 1966, Mayor obtained his doctorate in Astronomy at the Geneva Observatory in 1971. His thesis included an \"Essay on the kinematical properties of stars in the solar vicinity: possible relation with the galactic spiral structure.\" He studied briefly at the University of Cambridge Institute of Astronomy and spent sabbatical semesters at the European Southern Observatory (ESO) in Chile and at the Institute for Astronomy of the University of Hawaii.\nFrom 1971 to 1984, Mayor worked as a research associate at the Observatory of Geneva, which is home to the astronomy department of the University of Geneva. He became an associate professor at the university in 1984. In 1988, the university named him a full professor, a position he held until his retirement in 2007. Mayor was director of the Observatory of Geneva from 1998 to 2004. He has been professor emeritus at the University of Geneva since 2007.\nProfessor Mayor's research interests include extrasolar planets (also known as exoplanets), instrumentation, statistical properties of double stars, globular cluster dynamics, galactic structure and kinematics.\nHis doctoral thesis at the University of Geneva was devoted to the search for evidence of a spiral structure in the Milky Way galaxy in the velocity distribution of stars close to the Sun. Kinematics data at that time were scarce and in particular acquiring the \"radial velocities\" of stars was a long and fastidious process. Upon completing his thesis, Mayor decided to develop a special spectrograph, CORAVEL, to measure stellar radial velocity. \"This was the start of my interest in stellar kinematics,\" he said, according to information in his curriculum vitae.\nThis research led to various fields of interest, including the study of statistical characteristics of solar-type binary stars. With fellow researcher Antoine Duquennoy, he conducted a survey of small-mass companions of stars analogous to the sun, releasing the results in one of the most cited papers published by Astronomy and Astrophysics during its first 40 years. Mayor and Duquennoy then discovered that the mass of some of these companions could be sub-stellar.\nThe evolution of technology allowed for the development of a new spectrograph, ELODIE, built at the Haute-Provence Observatory in the south of France. Mayor and Didier Queloz, a graduate student at the University of Geneva, began using the instrument in 1994 to measure night after night 140 stars similar to the Sun. The study was aimed at discovering \"brown dwarfs,\" as well as giant planets. At the end of 1994, the pair noted that the star 51 Pegasi showed a periodic variation or movement that could be caused by the orbit of a planet smaller in size than Jupiter. Remarkably, the orbital period appeared to be only 4.2 days, which contradicted what was then believed to be theoretically possible. However, further data allowed Mayor and Queloz to announce the discovery of the first exoplanet orbiting a sun-like star on October 6, 1995.\nThus began a new field of research in astronomy. As of early October 2011, researchers around the world had discovered more than 680 exoplanets, many of them large so-called \"hot Jupiters,\" gaseous planets many times the size of earth. Mayor and his collaborators have identified around 200. However, his team has concentrated its research on smaller planets, \"super-earths,\" closer in mass to Earth. In 2003, his latest planet searching instrument, the High Accuracy Radial Velocity Planet Searcher (HARPS), came online at the European Southern Observatory (ESO)'s telescope at La Silla, Chile, allowing for more precise measurements of radial velocities.\nBy October 2011, Mayor had co-authored more than 700 scientific publications. From 1989 to 1992 he was involved in scientific research at ESO, from 1988 until 1991 he worked on the study of galactic structure with the International Astronomical Union, and from 1990 until 1993 he was president of the Swiss Society for Astrophysics and Astronomy.\nAwards and distinctions\nIn August 1998, Mayor was awarded the Swiss Marcel Benoist Prize in recognition of his work and its significance for human life. As of 2003, he was a member of the board of trustees. He received the Prix Jules Janssen from the French Astronomical Society in 1998. In 2000, he was awarded the Balzan Prize. Four years later, he was awarded the Albert Einstein Medal. In 2005, he received the Shaw Prize in Astronomy, along with American astrophysicist Geoffrey Marcy. Mayor was made a knight of the French Legion d'Honneur in 2004.\nIn collaboration with Pierre-Yves Frei, Mayor wrote a book in French called Les Nouveaux mondes du Cosmos (Seuil, 260 pages), which was awarded the Livre de l'astronomie 2001 prize by the 17th Astronomy Festival Haute Maurienne, (France).\nHe has received honorary doctorate degrees from eight universities: Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (Belgium), 2001; Swiss Federal Institute of Technology at Lausanne (EPFL) (2002); Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (Brazil), 2006; Uppsala University (Sweden), 2007; Paris Observatory (France), 2008; Universit\u00e9 Libre de Bruxelles (Belgium), 2009; University of Provence (Marseille, France), 2011, Universit\u00e9 Joseph Fourier (Grenoble, France), 2014;.\nHe has received the 2011 BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award of Basic Sciences (together with his former student Didier Queloz) for developing new astronomical instruments and experimental techniques that led to the first observation of planets around Sun-like stars.\nParticipation in professional associations\n- organizer and publisher of nine Saas-Fee Advanced Courses of the Swiss Society of Astrophysics and Astronomy\n- member of the editorial board of Europhysics News, 1985\u20131990\n- Swiss delegate for the European Space Agency (ESA)'s Astronomical Working Group, 1985\u20131987\n- President of the International Astronomical Union (IAU)'s Commission 33 on the \"Structure and dynamics of the galactic system, 1988\u20131991\n- Chairman of the European Southern Observatory's Scientific Technical Committee, 1990\u20131992\n- President of the Swiss Society of Astrophysics and Astronomy (SSAA), 1990\u20131993\n- Member of the organizing committee of the IAU Commission on Bioastronomy, 1997\u20132003\n- Swiss delegate to the European Southern Observatory (ESO) Council, 2003\u20132007\n- President of the IAU commission on extra-solar planets, 2006\u20132009\n- Member of the European Academy of Sciences, 2004\n- Foreign Associate of the French Academy of Sciences (Acad\u00e9mie des sciences), 2003\n- Honorary Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society (UK), 2008\n- Foreign member of the National Academy of Sciences (US), 2010\n- Foreign member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, 2010\n- Michel Mayor & Didier Queloz (1995). \"A Jupiter-mass companion to a solar-type star\".

+{"text": "'These two have DNA'd'.\nThe clinic nurse slaps down two heavy sets of notes on my desk, the ones belonging to the patients who have missed their OPAs (outpatient appointments). Now I've got to decide whether they should get fresh appointments or not. But why didn't they come?\nIf they are new, there is always a question as to whether they got their appointment letters on time. And the more urgent the appointment, the less notice they will have had of it. Conversely, if people wait too long for their OPAs, aren't they more likely to forget about them?\nWhat about follow-up patients? What if they don't come to clinic?\nThe literature confirms that forgetting an appointment is the number one reason for non-attendance. Illness, work problems and recovery from the condition are also possibilities.\nBut what about more subtle factors, and those that are potentially immeasurable? What if the patient felt that the follow-up wasn't really necessary? Was I too cautious to bring them back again? Should I have just bid them adieu at their last appointment? Did the presence of the medical students put them off? What if the patient just didn't like me?\nOf course, if patients don't come to clinic, there is a good chance that you never find out why. Very occasionally, when I've had time and there was clinical need, I've tried to phone my non-attenders at the end of clinic.\nThe first patient I telephoned was an older woman. Her son answered the phone. He was rather pleased to hear from me. She didn't come for her appointment as she was in hospital with a broken hip.\nThen there was the patient who couldn't make it through the snow, but was worse and would definitely like to be rebooked. And there was the young man who forgot his appointment because he was too busy at work \u2013 and too busy to speak to me when I called.\nFrom my general observations, young men are the most likely to fail to attend clinic, and a trawl through the trust data confirms this. I analyse and present the factors associated with non-attendance to my colleagues. Given the demographic profile of non-attenders, I suggest that targeting these patients with modern technologies, such as SMS text messaging, might be appropriate to reduce non-attendance rates.\nWhile I have presented DNAs in a completely negative light, my presentation has had a mixed reception. My colleagues' reaction confirms what I already suspect. Most of us are secretly glad of the unscheduled gap in our already overbooked clinic. A non-attendance provides a welcome chance to dictate a couple of letters or simply to catch up.\n'Reduce DNAs?' cries a colleague in surprise, 'but we need a few DNAs to be able to get through our clinics on time'.\nOf course she is right. My clinics are probably booked on the assumption that there will be a couple of DNAs each week. When everyone turns up, I run half an hour behind schedule.\nSusannah George is an ST4 in dermatology in Brighton\nDoes this happen because management insists on overbooking clinics despite it being evident that some clinics are leaving patients dissatisfied because of this? Why should we rely on DNAs to be able to do our jobs correctly? Can management not be dynamic enough to do some observational studies that will tell them which clinics are likely to be quiet and so some overbooking would be appropriate to enhance efficiency? This is where the NHS fails in my opinion. Management not being dynamic and pro-active in helping us do our jobs to the standards they set.", "score": 0}

They scored three with a man down in a 5-3 win at Detroit last Saturday for their first win on the trip.\nChicago last scored a short-handed goal in three straight games from March 16-21, 1995.\n\"We're aggressive all over the ice, we're blocking a lot of shots, and we have good speed with our forwards,\" said Patrick Sharp, who scored his league-leading fifth short-handed goal Thursday and second in two games. \"Put all that together, throw in a little bit of luck and a few good bounces.\"\nSharp has five of his team-high 11 goals in his last three contests. His only goal in seven games against Edmonton was short-handed in Chicago's 2-1 home win on April 4 in the teams' most recent meeting.\nJacob Dowell scored in his NHL debut Thursday and is the latest rookie to contribute for the Blackhawks. First-year players Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews have combined for 15 goals and 38 points.\n\"It's a great feeling. I've worked hard and it's finally paying off, getting my chance here,\" the 22-year-old Dowell said.\nDowell was called up after Rene Bourque was lost for up to six weeks with a broken thumb. Chicago also played without veteran Jason Williams, who is day-to-day with a sore groin.\nThe Blackhawks are still awaiting the return of Martin Havlat, who has missed 20 games with a shoulder injury.\n\"With all the guys going down, it's getting tough. We're pretty thin,\" Chicago coach Denis Savard said. \"It's difficult when you have to slot certain players into certain positions and move them up a couple slots, but we've just got to hang in there.\"\nNikolai Khabibulin made 30 saves Thursday for his second straight win and fifth in his last seven starts. He went 2-1-0 with a 1.36 goals-against average last season against Edmonton.\nThe Blackhawks have won just twice in their last 13 visits to Edmonton, losing their last three trips.\nThe Oilers (8-13-1), though, are 4-7-0 at home this season and are tied with Los Angeles for the fewest points overall (17) in the Western Conference.\nEdmonton fell 3-2 to Colorado on Thursday for its third loss in four contests on its season-high six-game homestand.\n\"We had a (season) high number of turnovers tonight,\" Oilers coach Craig MacTavish said. \"You can't be turning the puck over like that.\"\nShawn Horcoff had a goal and an assist for the second straight game, and he leads Edmonton with nine goals and 20 points. Horcoff has six goals and nine assists in 21 games against the Blackhawks.\nMathieu Garon stopped 28 shots in his fifth start in the team's last six games ahead of No. 1 goaltender Dwayne Roloson, who has lost five in a row.

The represented chocolate makers include Raaka (Brooklyn, N.Y.), Patric (Columbia, Mo.), Dick Taylor (Arcata, Calif.), Taza (Somerville, Mass.), Amano (Orem, Utah), Madre (Honolulu, Hawaii), Fruition (Shokan, N.Y.), French Broad (Asheville, N.C.), Askinosie (Springfield, Mo.), Videri (Raleigh, N.C.) and Texas' own Tejas (Spring, Texas) and Kiskadee (Austin, Texas).\nAdrienne Newman (also known as \"Madam Cocoa\"), who teaches the famous chocolate appreciation class, Chocolate 101, through UT's Informal Courses, says \"Froyoyo has the finest selection of American craft chocolate in Texas.\"\nAustinite Laura Atlas, maker of Kiskadee Chocolates, will present a pop-up chocolate-tasting event at Froyoyo this Wednesday, April 16, from 5-7pm. Atlas will be giving out samples of her six flavors of bean-to-bar chocolate, made from cacao beans from the Dominican Republic. All of Kiskadee's bars are organic and single-origin. Flavors include Fruity+Nutty (pistachio/tart dried cherry), Salty+Nutty (sea salt/almond), Rich+Nibby (cacao nibs), Dark+Creamy (60% dark), Dark+Bold (85% dark), and Hot+Spicy (cinnamon/cayenne). All of the Kiskadee Chocolate bars are very intense and satisfying; the first time I tried them, their coolness and complexity made me feel as if I had never truly tasted chocolate before. If you happen to be in Rollingwood Wednesday evening, you won't want to miss this opportunity to sample Kiskadee's wares.\nWednesday, April 16 5-7pm\n3201 Bee Caves Rd., 512/852-8528\nMonday-Saturday, 11am-10pm; Sunday, noon-9pm\nCopyright \u00a9 2016 Austin Chronicle Corporation.

This was the first competition during the trials.\nWith the U.S. team leading 4-0, Senne ripped a one-out solo home run to right. On the very next pitch, Ortiz laced a solo shot to right-center. An error and a walk set the stage for Davis' homer, a three-run blast to right-center. It was the first of two home runs on the night for Davis, who followed a Christian Colon (Cal State Fullerton; Corona, Calif.) sixth-inning leadoff home run with a solo round-tripper to right-center.\nThe National Trials Team finished with 12 hits on the night, paced by Davis' three-hit night. Davis also had four RBI and scored three times. Ortiz added two hits, while Colon, Shaver Hansen (Baylor; Grand Junction, Colo.) and Brian Fletcher (Auburn; Fayetteville, Ga.) scored two runs each.\nMeanwhile, five U.S. pitchers combined on the seven-hit shutout, led by starter Mike Minor (Vanderbilt; Chapel Hill, Tenn.). A member of the 2007 National Team, Minor scattered three singles with five strikeouts against no walks and earned the victory in a predetermined 4.0-inning start.\nChance Ruffin (Texas; Austin, Texas), Justin Marks (Louisville; Owensboro, Ky.), A.J.

Marks and Griffin each worked a scoreless inning with two strikeouts.\nKeene threatened in the sixth inning, putting runners on the corners with no outs. Alex Lee led off with a single through the right side and moved to second on a wild pitch. Ruffin then struck out Jose Macias looking, but a passed ball allowed Macias to reach first. An errant throw to first by catcher Josh Phegley (Indiana; Terre Haute, Ind.) allowed Lee to reach third. However, Ruffin struck out the next three batters to escape unscathed.\nStarter Sean Tierney took the loss for Keene; he allowed seven runs, four earned, on six hits and a walk with one strikeout over 2.1 innings.\nNational Team Trials competition continues Friday as the U.S. squad travels to Holyoke, Mass., to face the Holyoke Sox of the NECBL at MacKensie Stadium.

+{"text": "I first heard about Mary Anning by reading a (nonfiction) children's book with my daughter called Mary Anning and the Sea Dragon by Jeannine Atkins. Mary was a young girl in early 19th-century England who dug for fossils and sold them. She discovered a dinosaur before anyone knew what such a thing was\u2014in fact before the word \"dinosaur\" was coined\u2014and spent the better part of a year at the age of 12 uncovering an entire skeleton. She never married, and she continued to make a living by digging for fossils in her native Lyme Regis.\nWhen I saw Curiosity by Joan Thomas on the library\nOther reviews of Curiosity:\nshelf one day, I was immediately drawn to an adult version of the story, even though the subtitle, \"a love story,\" perplexed me somewhat, because Mary never married (not that love equals marriage!) and the Jeannine Atkins book suggested a quirky, possibly lonely character in Mary. Well, whatever the case, I definitely wanted to read more about this eccentric woman who was unusual for her time and place.\nBefore I had a chance to read Curiosity, I also came across Remarkable Creatures by Tracy Chevalier. Well, then I was doubly curious, to think that 2010 brought forth two books about Mary Anning! Chevalier's take is a little different: she offers the story of an uncommon friendship between two women of vastly different backgrounds and classes: Mary Anning, who came from a family struggling to keep clothed, fed and sheltered, and Elizabeth Philpot, who, though on the downturn of a moneyed family, needed neither to work nor to marry to live comfortably. I was just as eager to read Remarkable Creatures, since women's friendships are an even stronger draw for me than love stories.\nI started with Curiosity, which didn't draw me in right from the start, as I found it particularly cerebral and hard to follow. But after the first hump I was really caught up in the story, its characters and its detail. I can only describe it as elegant. Joan Thomas plumbs the depths of 19th-century English classism and sexism in this novel, and renders complex characters with conflicting motivations. Here's an early passage in Curiosity to give you an idea of the language and richness of description that Thomas achieves:\nMary sat and watched her father as he took up the second drawer and began to fit it together. He was working from the light of the window, which showed the sky in three rows of its panes, and then the sea. In the soft sawdust on the floorboards, she could see his footprints like the tracks of animals on the shore. This was a collecting cupboard he was making, with shallow drawers for the curiosities. For the rich, who could afford to hoard what the Annings must sell. It was a strange passion with the high-born, filling their drawing rooms with thunderbolts and snakestones, although they could buy all the china figurines they chose. Richard was lining up the dovetails, bracing the drawer on the workbench. He needed a helper. But he'd apprenticed [Mary's brother] Joseph to Armstrong the upholsterer on Dorcas Lane. (Curiosity, p. 13)\nRemarkable Creatures is much more accessible\u2014there was never a point in the text when I wasn't sure if I understood what was actually happening\u2014but it also had a tendency towards clich\u00e9. Chevalier, it seems, never has a character hold anything back. They speak out, they speak up, they make much drama, but ultimately this is neither very believable, nor in fact very interesting. Mary is constantly in need of rescue in various forms (and always from the more-than-obliging Miss Philpot).\nChevalier misses the boat completely as far as class analysis goes and almost has her own brand of classism towards the Annings: I was irritated that Mary's father is depicted as a carpenter of poor workmanship, when, really, how long would you last as a craftsperson in a small town if your work was of poor quality? Was it just too hard for Chevalier to imagine that economic structures of the time, and not personal failure, were to blame for the Annings' poverty? And then when Mary sells her first big find, Miss Philpot comes and instructs Mary's mother and older brother to invest the money in an apprenticeship for him for a trade\u2014as though only an educated, higher-class woman would have the forethought for such decision-making\u2014and yet the likelihood of someone of a higher class speaking of such private matters with a family seemed quite low to me.\nWhen Lord Henley paid us \u00a323 for the whole crocodile, I wanted lots of things. I wanted to buy so many sacks of potatoes they'd reach the ceiling if you stacked them. I wanted to buy lengths of wool and have new dresses made for Mam and me. I wanted to eat a whole dough cake every day and burn so much coal the coalman would have to come every week to refill the coal bin. That was what I wanted. I thought my family wanted those things too.One day Miss Elizabeth come to see Mam after the deal had been done with Lord Henley and sat with her and Joe at the kitchen table. She didn't talk of wool or coal or dough cakes, but of jobs. \"I think it will benefit the family most if Joseph is apprenticed,\" she said. \"Now you have the money to pay the apprentice fee, you should do so. Whatever he chooses will be a steadier income than selling fossils.\" (Remarkable Creatures, pp. 111-112.)\nIt was a strange experience to read two books with the same characters, not just Mary Anning and Elizabeth Philpot but a whole cast of characters in the town (with some exceptions) as well as the men who come from London to study the fossils. It's a rare event to have two books cover so much of the same territory\u2014I doubt both these books would have been published had they not come out nearly simultaneously, for whoever wrote the second book would surely have been accused of copying the first. (I do wonder whether Joan Thomas and Tracy Chevalier ever crossed paths in London or Lyme Regis while doing their research\u2026 that seems like a story in itself!)\nI read Curiosity first, so it did feel to me like Joan Thomas raised the bar, and then Tracy Chevalier\u2014for all that she may be the better known of the two writers\u2014just didn't hold a candle to Thomas's achievement. I was interested, though, in the similarities and differences between each rendition. For example, the love story seemed so truncated in Joan Thomas's book\u2014were 19th-century men really so totally lacking in sexual imagination? However, when it was told in such a similar fashion in Tracy Chevalier's book\u2014though she chose a different character as the romantic interest\u2014I felt more forgiving of Joan Thomas's text. But perhaps it should just make me further question whether it's 19th-century men who lacked imagination or rather 21st-century women writers when imagining 19th-century sex! The bigger question, of course, is about how sex is represented in literature and in our lives as women, which I can't explain in more detail here without spoilers, but which I think deserves further exploration.\nI would highly recommend Curiosity, even though I know it won't be everyone's cup of tea, as it is quite literary and brooding; and I would not recommend Remarkable Creatures. If you're into children's books or have a child to read to (ages 7 to 10), Mary Anning and the Sea Dragon by Jeannine Atkins is a beautiful illustrated book and introduces several interesting topics for conversation._______________________________________________\nOther reviews of Curiosity:\nBooks Under Skin \u2022 Curled Up with a Good Book and a Cup of Tea \u2022 Literary Treats \u2022 Reading the Past \u2022 The Overdecorated Bookcase", "score": 2}

+{"text": "I thought this article would be helpful to you all.\nI attached it below.\nThe Trauma Myth: Understanding the True Dynamics of Sexual Abuse\nBy Susan Clancy, Psychotherapy Networker\nPosted on June 4, 2010, Printed on June 5, 2010http://www.alternet.org/story/146941/\nLog in and you'll find the comment section on every page of the online Magazine section.\nAs a graduate student at Harvard in the mid-1990s, I participated in research studies carried out by the psychology department that began in October 1996 and continued until August 2005 to interview adults who had experience sexual abuse as children and learn what effects the abuse had had on their lives. Although I was sure I knew what I would discover\u2014that the abuse would be remembered as a horrible experience that overwhelmed the people I interviewed with fear when it happened and had always been viewed as a traumatizing occurrence\u2014what I heard in the hundreds of interviews I conducted was quite different. In nearly all the cases, the adults I questioned had not experienced the abuse as traumatic when it occurred and only came to regard it as so years later. And in many of the cases, they had never been questioned about their evolving sense of the abuse and the ongoing impact that it had on their lives, but only about what the traumatic experience had been like at the time. These findings led me to question the progress professionals in the sexual abuse field have made when it comes to understanding and treating child sexual abuse.\nCertainly we have advanced to the point that the right things are being said (sexual abuse is common and harmful; it is never the child's fault). Funding in the trauma field has been secured, research conducted, studies and books published, treatment centers established, and public awareness raised through sex-education programs and campaigns in the media. But is any of it translating into actual progress for victims? Do they feel that they're being helped, that they're understood and their needs are being served effectively?\nThe trauma model's main purpose\u2014one of the primary reasons why mental health professionals welcomed it with such enthusiasm in the 1980s\u2014was to provide an explanation for how and why sexual abuse wreaks such psychological and social havoc in victims. Armed with a better understanding of the impact of abuse, mental health professionals hoped to be better able to help victims cope with and recover from these damaging crimes.\nThe problem is that today, after more than twenty-five years, predictions based on the trauma model have not proved accurate. Characteristics of the sexual abuse experience related to trauma (like how frightening it was, whether penetration or force was involved, and how many times it happened) do not do a good job of forecasting the level of long-term psychological harm experienced. There appears to be no direct, linear relationship between the severity of the abuse and the psychosocial difficulties victims experience in adulthood. Worst of all, we have developed no clearly effective treatments for sexual abuse victims. They continue to suffer from psychological and social problems in the aftermath of their abuse, and mental health professionals still have not reached a consensus as to exactly why or what precisely to do to help them recover.\nThis state of affairs is far from surprising. How can trauma be the cause of harm if most victims say that the abuse was not traumatic when it happened? A growing number of scholars in the sexual abuse field are coming to agree that understanding how and why sexual abuse damages victims probably has little to do with the actual abuse and a lot to do with what happens in its aftermath. For example, as David Finkelhor concluded in his recent book Childhood Victimization, continuing research efforts that seek to track the consequences of early events through developmental, cognitive, and behavioral pathways may prove more fruitful than continuing the restrictive focus on the severity and nature of event-specific trauma. I believe that the victims themselves have always known this.\nJen was a sixty-five-year-old, divorced, retired administrative assistant. A tall, big-boned redhead with long purple fingernails, she was up front about lots of things. She did not like the coffee I gave her, my office was too cold, and she did not like the color of my hair. We were at the part of the interview when I asked her to rate how traumatic her abuse had been when it occurred. She did not like the questions I asked.\n\"Nothing personal,\" she said, \"but these questions are kind of dumb. If you are trying to do what you say you're trying to do, and figure out why the abuse screwed me up so badly, why are you asking so many questions about what it was like when it happened? What you need to be focusing on was what it was like later on.\"\nI asked what she meant. \"What I mean is that what it was like when it happened and what it is like now are two separate things entirely.\"\nAt that point in my career, I did not have a lot of experience interviewing sexual abuse victims. I had, however, a lot of experience interviewing victims of other kinds of horrible experiences (motor vehicle accidents, combat, natural disasters, abductions), and I had asked these subjects to rate how traumatic the events were at the time. No one in these studies had ever said this to me before. And as far as I knew at the time, scholars were not talking how perceptions of the traumatic nature of an abuse experience change over time\u2014how an event not initially perceived as horrible could become so. They certainly talked about how symptoms of trauma (depression, anxiety) might not manifest themselves until long after the abuse, but they were not talking about how perceptions of the abuse itself can change.\nI knew I had to consider Jen's words seriously. From that point on, I asked my question in two parts: What was the experience like when it happened? And what is the experience like for you today, looking back on it.\nBy the end of the study, the data was clear. Although sexual abuse was not a particularly awful experience for many victims when it happened, looking back on it, from their perspective as adults, it was awful\u2014ratings of shock, horror, disgust, and even fear were all high. Obviously, perceptions of abuse when it occurs and when victims look back on it years later are entirely different. In addition, sexual abuse is very different from other kinds of terrible life experiences. For example, getting into a car accident is traumatic both at the time it happens and later when it is recalled. Sexual abuse, however, becomes traumatic later on. Why? What happens in the aftermath of sexual abuse?\nAccording to victims, they did not experience the abuse as awful when it happened because most simply did not understand clearly the meaning or significance of the sexual behaviors they were engaging in. That being said, at some point later on in life, they do. Over time, the \"cloak of innocence lifted,\" as one victim described it. Victims reconceptualized the formerly \"confusing and weird experiences\" and understood them for what they were\u2014sexual in nature and clearly wrong. Only at this point\u2014when the sexual abuse is fully apprehended\u2014does it begin to damage victims.\nWhen Anne, a twenty-eight-year-old mother of two, was eight years old, her mother started working outside the home. Between 3 P.M. when Anne got home from school and 6 P.M. when her mom came home from work, a neighbor and friend of her mother's named Frank would babysit. Frank sexually abused Anne. Sometimes, when Anne was sitting in his lap, he would \"put his fingers inside my panties and feel me up . . . and while this was going on he would thrust himself up against my butt and he would be breathing heavy.\"\nWhen it was happening, Anne said she did not like what he was doing but was \"definitely not traumatized.\" And she was not different from most of the victims who spoke to me. \"I knew it was something I shouldn't talk about with my mother, but not really exactly totally sure why.\" After about eight months of intermittent abuse, Frank left town, and Anne said she \"just didn't think much about it again.\" But then something changed.\nAnne reconceptualized her abuse\u2014she figured out the meaning of these previously ambiguous experiences. \"I remember this like it was yesterday. . . . I was in eighth grade and my friend Jennie was over and she had seen her brother and his girlfriend making out and she was reenacting them rolling around on the ground and moaning and it was then [that] I remembered what happened; it reminded me of what happened. . . . I realized, totally all of a sudden, that what had happened to me was sexual\u2014that I had basically been having sexual experiences with my babysitter when I was kid.\" It took Anne six years to cognitively reconceptualize what happened to her and understand that it was wrong.\nWhen they discover that they have been abused, victims most frequently report feelings of betrayal. As Cheryl, a forty-three-year-old high school teacher on maternity leave with triplets, put it, \"I realized that I trusted him, what he was doing, and I should not have. He knew he was doing something wrong, and he knew I didn't know. . . . It was all an elaborate game of sexual betrayal.\" As Neil, an AIDS activist working for a hospital in Boston, said, \"I realized that it wasn't just what he did to me physically. At that moment [of discovery] I lost my father. He was no longer someone who loved and took care of me. I was just being used by him for his personal gratification.\"\nFor the victims who spoke to me, the degree of the betrayal was a function of two main variables. First, it depended on how close the victim felt to the perpetrator, on how much he or she trusted, cared about, or loved him. The second variable was the degree to which the victim believed he or she had been emotionally manipulated by the perpetrator or \"taken in\" by the ", "score": 2}
+{"text": "In an effort to clarify any misconceptions regarding the Penn Valley Fire Protection District that may have been generated by a recent article in The Union, quoting a disgruntled former part-time-firefighter and five or six of his companions, here are the facts:\nAllegation: There has been a sharp decline in the number of PVFPD volunteer firefighters since Chief Gene Vander Plaats assumed command of the District.\nFact: There have been no \"volunteer firefighters\" with the PVFPD since 1996. The chief took command in 2004.\n\u2022 Of the 18 paid-call firefighters (not volunteers) on the district rolls when Vander Plaats arrived, more than 50 percent were not responding to incidents or attending required training. Those willing and able to maintain required training and fitness standards were retained on the rolls.\n\u2022 State training requirements have continuously increased, now requiring more than 500 hours for entry-level firefighter-emergency medical technicians (FF-EMT). Paramedic licensing (FF-Paramedic) requires 1,100 hours additional training. To maintain skill levels in the services provided by the PVFPD, another 200 to 300 hours of annual training is required.\n\u2022 As with many fire agencies, the mandated training (among other factors) has severely curtailed the number of paid-call firefighters available to the PVFPD. The last remaining district paid-call firefighter retired in 2013.\n\u2022 In 2005, Vander Plaats implemented an \"Intern Program\" with interns working with fully certified FF-EMTs/FF-Paramedics during regular tours of duty. In lieu of salaries, interns receive training required to receive their state certifications and the loan of duty-related equipment.\n\u2022 In addition to full-time staffing, minimum district staffing is assured through the use of part-time FF-EMTs and FF-Paramedics and overtime.\nAllegation: The chief has been receiving raises while others' salaries have been frozen.\nFact: During 2013, the district board of directors approved:\n\u2022 Fire chief , a 1 percent salary increase.\n\u2022 Office manager, a 1.5 percent increase\n\u2022 Seven of the 11 full-time firefighting employees have received pay-step salary increases in excess of the chief's increase.\nTo improve the district's personnel retention, in 2008, to match most California fire agencies, the board reduced line personnel's work week from 72 to 56 hours without a reduction in compensation, resulting in a 22 percent reduction in hours and 42 percent salary increase. However, due to revenue constraints, the compensation for PVFPD line personnel remains significantly below that of either state or nearby district firefighters. This has contributed to a continuing movement of district personnel to other fire agencies offering greater compensation. The board has and is addressing this issue as funding is available.\nAllegation: The community does not have confidence in the chief or the board of the Penn Valley Fire Protection District.\nFact: Voters have increased district fees and taxes by a 70-plus percent margin twice since 2004 after having previously refused similar increases.\n\u2022 To fund equipment purchases and personnel training, 150-250 residents regularly attend monthly breakfasts.\nAllegation: The fire chief lacks credentials to serve as an incident commander.\nFact: There are no state or federal requirements for certification relating to commanding local incidents or for that matter being appointed to a fire chief's position. Fire chiefs are typically selected based on their demonstrated performance in administrative functions.\n\u2022 The chief had the required qualifications for the position when hired in 2004.\n\u2022 At the same board meeting The Union staff writer attended, the chief and district personnel received congratulations from the audience for their efforts at a recent Lake Wildwood residence fire.\nAllegation: All is not well in the Penn Valley Fire Protection District and the board is dysfunctional.\nFact: District achievements, accomplished since 2004 through the support of district taxpayers, and a close working relationship among the fire chief, district staff and the board of directors include:\n\u2022 Reduced administrative costs by eliminating 1.5 administrative support positions.\n\u2022 Implemented improved budgeting, eliminating the need to borrow operating funds between tax payments and building reserves for previously unfunded liabilities, e.g., replacement of worn and outmoded equipment and vehicles, etc.\n\u2022 Increased minimum daily staffing, allowing personnel on duty at two (rather than one) district stations to alternatively operate two pumpers or two advanced life support ambulances.\n\u2022 Developed fire captain/duty officer positions, improving incident management as well as day-to-day management of the district.\n\u2022 Upgraded the part-time employee program providing skilled, affordable, replacements for staff vacancies and a means of evaluating future full-time staff.\n\u2022 Implemented a district intern program, creating a new source for new district personnel.\n\u2022 Instituted an illness and injury prevention program, meeting state and federal requirements and reducing personnel duty-connected risks.\n\u2022 Launched \u2014 at no cost to the district, thanks to two community service clubs and the generosity of our citizens \u2014 a residential smoke detector program, providing free battery replacement and, where needed, provision of new detectors, free of charge.\n\u2022 Established monthly staff meetings improving communication among personnel and with district administration.\n\u2022 Developed a more feasible means of our district supporting large scale state and federal incidents through deployment of our medically trained personnel to their large scale incidents at no cost to the district.\nThe elected district board of directors is proud of what our partnership with the community, Chief Vander Plaats and district staff has achieved for the citizens of the Penn Valley Fire Protection District.\nKurt Grundel is chairman of the Penn Valley Fire Protection District board of directors.\nVoters have increased district fees and taxes by a 70-plus percent margin twice since 2004 after having previously refused similar increases.", "score": 1}

Everything that follows is direct from our customers, without any filtering or editing on our part.\nTestimonials from recent customers of U-Haul Moving & Storage at Gray Hwy\nBad from start to finish! Box was wet and infested with ants when I received it! Then the box was late customer service were not helpful! The staff at pick up were also rude. Never again!\nThis was the third location we were sent to. The first one was double booked. We were there with credit card in hand, but were denied the U-Haul because another person had also booked but were not there. The second location we were sent to were \"out to lunch\" . After waiting 2 hours and calling the U haul representative, we were informed that the owners would not be coming back. I will never use U-Haul again. Very poor logistics operation. Spent 3.5 hours trying to get a U-Haul with three different reservations. All the U-Haul manager wanted to do was keep discounting. I told her I just wanted to be sent somewhere to get a U-Haul. Definitely got the run around. Leslie Himot\nCluttered. Unhelpful. Not personable. Did not give me my return papers to confirm i returned the trailer.\nThe equipment was clean and we'll maintained but the customer service was nothing to brag about. The young man who assisted me during the rental process was very nice and friendly, but did not seem very knowledgeable (I assumed he was new). Since I dropped the truck off after hours I had to go in the next morning to finalize everything. When I arrived there was no one there to greet the customers and I had to wait more than 20 minutes for someone to assist me. When the girl finally did come in from the back she seemed like she had an attitude or that I had disturbed her.\nGot charged for going over allocated mileage -which was never explained initially and was pretty ludicrous since I was moving from a city 70 miles away and went a grand total of 9 miles over their guess. The \"extra miles\" was me detouring to a storage facility before dropping off. Congratulations on nickel and diming me for $4. I'll use somebody else next time.\nSPACE WAS A LITTLE TIGHT IN THE OFFICE AND PARKING AREA BUT THERE IS NOT ROOM TO EXPAND, BUT I WAS WELL PLEASED AND WILL RETURN AGAIN. THANK YOU\nWhen you reserve a truck and then when you get there to pick it up you get a whole different story they tried to charge me $0.59 per mile over when it was supposed to be $0.29 per mile over and the owner of the store Tiffany Holland which was General Manager was one of the rudest people in the whole building simply because she made a mistake and had to go back and fix it and if you would like to give me a call\nNo improvements needed. Great personal service.\nexcellent staff. very efficient, friendly and helpful. Could not ask for more!\nNeeded trailer, but brake lights were not working so I was forced to pay more to use a moving truck. Was very inconvient for my moving situation. Individual setting up trailer showed little interest (checked phone often and made several trips before giving up on trailer). I feel overcharged for my experience.\nExtremely helpful and courteous staff. Rental experience was efficient and very pleasant.\nCheck In process was slow. Employee had to be asked to help me and then he didn't appear to know how to do it! He sat and looked at the other employee checking in a customer and I had to ask him to pls help me.\nAll of the employees that assisted me were friendly and so helpful, they went above and beyond to alleviate my concerns over driving such a long distance by myself in a truck. Super friendly and would DEFINITELY recommend to anyone in this area.\nwaited for 30 minutes to be service.\nHave more help checking customers in and out of the store... So that the line don't be that long of a wait.\nbad customer care.lazy store manager.\nEvery employee that I encountered had poor customer service skills. Employees need to realize that customers are the reason they have employment and if they don't want to work or they hate what they are doing, they should go home. Improving customer service skills would be a plus.\nFirst place we were sent took 1 1/2 hour only to be told I had to go to a different place that he couldn't help me. In this day there is no excuse for poor computer systems and excessive wait times. Your system is broke and you are losing money having to give customers discounts because of it. The company owner/ceo/coo needs to shut down ineffective rental places, and \"overhaul\" computer systems on the working ones. Just a thought from a \"Total Quality Management\" graduate.\nHave well trained personnel on site to speed up the check out.\nwhen I dropped off, young lady asked me back the trailer into a space. Which I cannot do. So we (husband and I) removed the trailer and manually rolled it into the spot. She should've been doing that as the Uhaul employee\nHorrible experience. They odometer on the car was off. I rented the car for less than 2 hours which can be seen from the time I arrived to the time I checked back in. The staff tried telling me I drove 114 miles. That's nearly impossible. It took over 30 minutes to try to fix the issue. The staff was extremely rude and not helpful. I would not rent from them again.\nVery upset that when my dad returned my key he was forced to pay another month when we moved the stuff out the day before! We`ve called the mgr twice and will not return calls\nIt wasn't the location however the entire experience overall. When a ad on your trucks say 19.95 for rental I expect to generally pay close to that not $85. Not to mention we got charged $17 just because we used a credit card to pay. Perhaps if you hadn't charged us nearly 4 times the amount expected we would have had the cash to compensate the payment. I'll never rent from uhaul again.\nThe store manager left the store and customers were waiting outside for an hour. My reservation was for 7am. Store didn't open til after 8am. I will not go to this location any more because their very unprofessional. I would like a refund.\nTruck was dirty, no gas cap and had 1 employee helping all customers in store.(she was very friendly) 2 other employees stayed in back & didn't help. Didn't let us inspect truck before signing for it.\nSupposed to open a 7am, opened at 7:45 with about a dozen customers waiting. Return took too long too. Van was great except bad smell.\nRemember the big people need trucks too\nVery old 12x6 trailer. Doors flew open on interstate. Rubber bumper rails inside popped loose and furniture strapped to them shifted mightily. You need to retire equipment sooner. This trailer looked and acted like it was 30 years old.\nHave the store open on time and ensure that all systems are linked so false equipment emails & calls don't misinform customers about those things. Everyone who was there at the same time that I was, received unacceptable handling & the manager was nearly 30 minutes late.\nThere were many, many customers and they moved well through the customers\nStore manager Traci Robinson is very rude and disrespectful. She would rather talk on and phone and to employees than to help customers. Equipment that was rented to me has a safety issue with the door. I was told I needed to put some elbow muscle into it. I will not be returned I am truly disgusted and there's a way to be treated when I'm spending my hard earned money.\nMore associates available\nThere were two females working. I waited in line until they asked if I was a return. The parking lot was packed and no where really to go with my truck and rented trailer. They told me three different places to back the trailer to, the last one being around the building in the back. When I pulled back there I was completely blocked in and I had to walk around front to find the females. They were moving trucks around. I told them it wasn't my job to play Tetris in their parking lot. The lady then walked back to my truck and started unhooking it. When she finished she said my receipt was inside. When I pulled around she met me at the door and basically threw it at me. I understand a place being busy but as a customer I don't appreciate being treated so rudely.\nMy only complaint is that the location is and has always been very hard to get in and out of.\nThe check engine light stayed on the entire time ,the inside of the truck was clean. I recommend keeping the trucks full of gas . A smile and eye contact with customers and/or potential investors seeking information about the company would be great. The price rate is 20% higher than the competition but I was already there so I just took the truck, overall I think it is a great business with decent people .\nWas treated rude, charged301.00 for an 82 mile trip, customer service was horrible. will be calling corporate office to complain, better business Bureau and my attorney TODAY. Never intend on using this company again and will recommend to all friends and family members to never use again.\nBut in a bad location\nTo get in and out of.\nNot my job to check truck in\nYou pay people to do that\nThe wait time was 1 hour after I had used express check in. The agent Traci Robinson entered my daughter's driver license number wrong creating a charge that did not apply to us. Now I have to work with billing and claims to credit my account.\nAs no fault to the two employees that were working there, this site was BUSY and UNORGANIZED. The two ladies working there did their best to move people through but there should have been more employees to help. The big knock against UHAUL is their reservation service has several holes in it. The lady in front of me reserved a truck a month ago and the renters before her didn't return the truck on time and she was out of a truck. She was irate and made the store uncomfortable. The two ladies working at the time were doi", "score": 0}
+{"text": "Broad Museum builders put down their pens, pick up their shovels\nOn Tuesday morning, Kevin Waldman's biggest headache was protecting big shots like architect Zaha Hadid, billionaire tycoon Eli Broad, Michigan State University president Lou Anna Simon and Gov. Jennifer Granholm from stepping in the March mud at the groundbreaking of MSU's Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum.\n\"You don't want to get Zaha Hadid's shoes dirty,\" Waldman said, gallantly. \"Or the governor's.\"\nThese luminaries and others gathered at the museum site on Grand River Avenue in East Lansing Tuesday morning to grab a shovel and nudge Hadid's daring design from the abstract to the concrete.\nWith the festive tent gone, Waldman's headaches are about to get a lot bigger. Waldman is the project manager for Southfield-based Barton Malow, general contractor for what may be the highest-profile and most unusual architectural project the state has ever seen.\n\"You don't go into a Zaha Hadid building with the idea that you're going to come out the same,\" said Linda Stanford, an associate provost and architecture professor at MSU. The same might be said for any city or university bold enough to build a Hadid. A Pritzker Prize-winning \"starchitect\" with visionary projects blossoming around the world, Hadid has completed only one building in the U.S., the Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art in Cincinnati.\nAt Tuesday's ceremony, Hadid thanked the Broads for the \"really amazing\" gift that enabled her to work again in the United States, \"a land where dreams come true.\"\n\"When I was 5 or 6 years old, I thought you could reach the moon by climbing a ladder,\" she said. \"These dreams, especially in education, are very important. Even if you only get 95 percent of your goals, it's still amazing.\"\nHadid's style is to sketch out curves, lines and fields of pure energy, pull them kicking and screaming into the material world and let them loose on some unsuspecting patch of Earth. Her Broad museum design is a crouching beast of angular steel plates like nothing else on the planet.\n\"This building should get a speeding ticket,\" architecture critic and project advisor Joseph Giovannini said Tuesday.\nGranholm called the design \"dramatic and breathtaking.\"\n\"This museum is going to be a tremendous visual experience,\" Granholm said.\nHadid's ultra-dynamic designs are particularly attractive to cities with something to prove.\nEven Rome, the site of Hadid's latest completed project, is using the Zaha cachet to brush up its image. In fall 2009, Hadid's Museum of the Art of the XXIst Century, or Maxxi, was widely seen as a clear signal that the Eternal City was ready to look to the future. New York Times architecture critic Nicolai Ourousoff called the museum \"a rebuke to those who still see Rome as a catalog of architectural relics for scholars or tourists.\"\nMSU and East Lansing are out to prove a thing or two as well.\nFor one thing, the old land-grant university is out to flex its growing international reach. Stanford compared the Broad Museum to other MSU ventures with international fame, such as the cyclotron and the College of Music.\nSeveral speakers at Tuesday's ceremony predicted a wave of international tourism.\nEugene Gargaro, board chairman of the Detroit Institute of Arts, said a million people have come to check out the museum's $160 million renovation project.\n\"I believe the Broad Museum will do the same,\" he said.\nCloser to home, the museum's location on the busy commercial strip along Grand River will decisively turn MSU toward its surroundings.\n\"We won't have to tell you that we care about being a part of East Lansing,\" Stanford said. \"We're right there, in your face, and that's exactly what we want.\"\nEli Broad said the museum would be \"an important bridge to the community,\" sucking in even people who are indifferent to art.\n\"I predict the curiosity factor will be too great for them to resist,\" he said.\nIt took an extra year in the schedule, and $7 million to $12 million more than expected, to bring Hadid's abstract lines of force to concrete reality. The final cost of the museum is estimated at $40 million to $45 million.\n\"The first piece of art you see is the building,\" Waldman explained. \"How do you put a time or a dollar figure to art?\" But that's just what had to happen. First, it was discovered that Hadid's design was 15 percent bigger than the 42,000-square-foot minimum specified in the competition brief, said Craig Kiner, a member of Zaha Hadid's team.\nHadid shrunk the building accordingly. Stanford and Waldman said the design's unprecedented steel-clad exterior was the chief cause of the delay and cost overruns.\nKiner agreed that the envelope was \"the most expensive component of the building.\"\nFor a while, that was a major problem. A world-class museum has to maintain 50 percent humidity to keep Jackson Pollack's drips from drying or Jeff Koons' balloon animals from getting psoriasis. Consequently, the Broad museum will need triple-pane glass windows to keep moisture from condensing on the walls in cold weather.\nnew museum will meet simple standards in lighting and climate control\nthat have barred MSU's old museum, Kresge, from borrowing art from\nthat made Hadid's original design for the walls, with hundreds of metal\npleats resembling biomorphic scales or feathers, problematic.\nthe concept was that you would actually stack the pleats,\" Waldman\nsaid. \"They could go all the way through and be a significant part of\nfirst, Kiner said, each of the pleats in the building's serrated skin\nwould be hooked up to the main frame by individual steel trusses. The\nglass panels and metal pleats that make up the fa\u00e7ade would form an\nintegrated, interlinked shell. Hundreds of connecting trusses, no two\nalike, would have been built by hand.\nAn articulated armadillo of a building would have been cool, but very expensive.\nGiovannini, the architect and critic who organized the Broad Museum\ndesign competition, has stayed on the project as a sort of kindly\nuncle. Giovannini said he was worried about the way talks were going\nbetween MSU and Hadid's office.\n\"There's a point at which it was fairly delicate,\" he said.\narchitects were pushing the envelope\" on the building's shell,\nGiovannini said, but they later \"moderated the design\" in the face of\nstaggering cost estimates.\nwas a tense moment,\" he said. After a lot of long-distance calls\nbetween Michigan and London, the design team worked out a compromise.\nThe pleats will be fitted into a glaze on the outer fa\u00e7ade, with\nmatching inner pieces attached to the inside walls.\nGiovannini doesn't like the term \"decorative,\" but the pleats won't be integral to the wall. Instead, they'll screen the sun and dazzle the eye \u2014 feathers for display, not for flight.\nHadid's team agreed to the compromise because the visual impact would be the same.\nstainless steel panels will be made, folded, cut and bent off site,\ntrucked in and installed in small sections as crews work around the\nThat left another problem: Who can fabricate mega-cutlery on such a scale?\nrejecting four firms from around the world, MSU turned to the world's\nforemost magician of metal: William Zahner, president of A.

They wrapped Randall Stout's Art Gallery of Alberta in a\nribbon of stainless steel called the \"borealis.\" For Daniel Libeskind's\nJewish Museum of San Francisco, Zahner crafted a blue steel fa\u00e7ade that\nchanges color as the day goes on.\nWith the fa\u00e7ade issue resolved, Waldman found that other features were not negotiable.\nmuseum's interior has sharply angled, sloping concrete walls Waldman\ncalled \"magnificent,\" but with a catch: \"I can't think of walls that\nare more difficult to construct,\" he said. In another round of\nnegotiations, Waldman and his team worked out reinforcement and molding\ntechniques that will maintain a 50-foot wall at a 75-degree angle, and\neverybody was happy.\nUnlike Giovannini, Waldman said he never doubted that the building would break ground.\nwere times where I thought we were far apart, but I knew that MSU and\nZaha Hadid were both committed,\" Waldman said. \"It was too great an\nopportunity for both sides to let it fail.\"\nHadid isn't the only 800-pound gorilla in this gallery.
