Tron has seen a precipitous price decline totalling 12% over the past 24 hours of trading. The cryptocurrency is currently exchanging hands at a price of $0.0221 after seeing a further 13% price decline over the past 7 trading days.
This 12% price drop comes in today the same day that the Tron team were planning on releasing their Tron Virtual Machine (TVM). The TVM will be the backbone for developers to come and code decentralised applications on top of the Tron blockchain. This is very similar to the Ethereum Virtual Machine which allows developers to code decentralised applications through a coding language such as Solidity. The TVM will allow developers to code in a plethora of languages further reducing the barriers to entry to code on the TVM.
Tron is currently ranked in 11th position in terms of overall market cap across the entire industry. It currently has a total market cap value of $1.46 billion after suffering. 32% price decline over the past 90 trading days. Tron is still trading at a price that is 91% lower than its all time high value.
Let us continue to analyse price action for Tron over the short term and highlight any potential support and resistance zones.
Price Analysis
TRX/USD – SHORT TERM – DAILY CHART
Analysing the market from the short term perspective above, we can see that Tron had recently come into strong resistance, provided by the April 2018 price low at $0.0281, where the market rolled over and retraced from.
We can see that the market had experienced a bullish run when price action started from a low of $0.016 on August 14th 2018 and extended to a high of $0.0282 on October 2nd 2018. This was a price increase totalling 74% from low to high.
The recent price decline has brought price action into a support level lower provided by the short term .5 Fibonacci Retracement level (drawn in green) priced at $0.02211. If the bears can constitute to pressure price action lower, we can expect immediate significant support below to be located at the .618 Fibonacci Retracement level priced at $0.0206. Further support below this can be expected at the .786 Fibonacci Retracement level priced at $0.018636.
If the bears can continue to pressure the market even further lower then more resistance below can be located at the short term downside 1.272 FIbonacci Extension level (drawn in red) priced at $0.01628 followed by the downside 1.414 Fibonacci Extension level priced at $0.014976.
Alternatively, if the bulls can regroup from the support at $0.0221 and push price action higher, we can expect immediate resistance above to be located at the .382 Fibonacci Retracement level priced at $0.023 followed by the .236 Fibonacci Retracement level priced at $0.025. If the bulls can persist further higher then more significant resistance above can be expected at the April 2018 price low at $0.02813. It is important to highlight that this area of resistance is significantly bolstered by the 100 day moving average which is also floating within the same price level, further adding to the expected resistance here.
The technical indicators within the market have recently swung into favouring the bears at this current moment in time. The RSI has recently dipped underneath the 50 handle which indicates that the bears are in control of the momentum within the market. IF we would like to see the market make some gains, we would need to see the RSI breaking back above the 50 handle.

In the first nine months of 2018, theft from exchanges of cryptocurrencies through sophisticated hacking techniques has hit nearly $927 million, showing an increase of about 250 per cent compared to the level seen in 2017, according to a report published by US-based cyber security firm, CipherTrace.
In 2017, total cryptocurrencies stolen from exchanges were at just $266 million, according to CipherTrace’s previous report. The report also revealed that the cryptocurrency theft had increased by 3.5 times in the first half of 2018, compared to the entire year in 2017 with the majority of theft amount contributed by the Coincheck and Bithumb hack.
Going by the trend, CipherTrace estimates that the total stolen amount of cryptocurrencies could go well past the $1 billion figure by the end of 2018. The report which looked at the criminal activity and money laundering showed that the theft of smaller amount in the range of $20-$60 million is growing steadily, totalling $173 million in the third quarter of 2018.
The report generated based on the quantitative analysis of 45 million transactions at top 20 cryptocurrency exchanges between the time period of January 2009 until September 20, 2018. It covers data from dark markets, extortion, malware, money laundering, ransomware and terrorist financing. Additionally, CipherTrace also reported that they are aware of $60 million in fraudulent transactions but were not reported.
Regulations Need of the Hour?
CipherTrace has also reported a unique finding in its report that relates to the Anti-money laundering laws. It stated that regulations are acting as a deterrence for criminal activities in the exchanges. It revealed that 97 per cent of bitcoin payments from criminals are channelled through exchanges with weak AML regulations.
The study revealed that nearly five per cent of all bitcoins that are sent to poorly regulated exchanges comes from criminal activity before the money is channelled into the global financial system. These exchanges have actually laundered close to 380,000 Bitcoins.
Dave Jevans, CEO, CipherTrace and co-chair of the Cryptocurrency Working Group at the APWG.org commented:
“This extensive research shows that regulation does have a direct correlation in hindering criminal activity, and we are on the right track to instil further trust in the crypto ecosystem. We will see the opportunities to launder cryptocurrencies greatly reduced in the coming 18 months as cryptocurrency AML regulations are rolled out globally.”

Suzie, a young visitor at the Philadelphia Zoo, calls out, "Mommy, what's that animal over there, between the parrot and the snake?" "I'm not sure, but I think it's an aardvark. Yes, and the man is feeding it."
These animals are at the zoo, but they are not in cages -- they are rod puppets putting on plays in a special theater, educating and informing children and adults about the animals.
The puppets -- an aardvark, a snake, a parrot, and one puppet called the "enviro" man, teach visitors the proper care of zoo animals. They also warn people not to feed or tease animals and not to litter the park.
"The park is the animals' home," says Maxime Graboyes of the Philadelphia Zoo's development and education department. "The puppets tell the children not to throw trash just as they wouldn't in their own homes."
Visitors are reminded that animals are on a restricted diet and it is dangerous to feed them.
Three years ago the Buffalo Zoo became the first to try puppet shows. Pat Myers of the zoo's education department says the project has been very successful. She has observed more courtesy to the animals and less littering of the grounds.
"Visitors enjoy the shows," she says. "They aren't offended by advice from the puppets as they might be if a zoo attendant gave them the same instructions."
The shows are performed by 25 junior zoo aides, teen-age volunteers who are trained for three days to put on the plays every half hour. The script is on tape.
"Last year's aides became so enthused through the puppetry that they volunteered to help in other ways at the zoo," Pat Myers says.
The education department has extended the puppet shows over the past two years, taking them to local schools and hospitals. The zoo also gave a class in puppetry last fall. "We intend to continue to build the program," says Pat Myers.
The zoo project was originated by Das Puppenspiel Theater Inc. (German for The Puppet Show Theater), a four-member troupe in Westfield, N.Y.
"Children believe in the magic of puppetry," says Jenny Klein of Das Puppenspiel. "Puppets are real characters for children and not just inanimate dolls. By using this sense of realism, puppets can explain better than a zoo authority the proper care of zoo animals."
People are more receptive to information through a project that includes fun, she adds.
Das Puppenspiel was organized six years ago by a group of art graduates of the State University of New York College at Buffalo. Although at first troupe members had to supplement their income with other work, during 1978-79 they were employed by the federal CETA (Comprehensive Employment and Training Act) program to perform and give workshops at the public schools in Chautauqua County, N.Y. The work has launched them into full-time puppetry.
Along with their zoo projects, the puppeteers create and perform a variety of children's shows in New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio.

I don't think I'm the Mercedes-Benz type, if there is such a thing. I was always happy in a Ford. But I've been driving a secondhand Mercedes for about 15 years now, and I feel sort of - categorized.
"There's the drummer with the Mercedes," says the guard at a museum where our jazz band plays.
"Even the band is rich," says a student watching me pack drums in the trunk after a gala evening at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government.
At a summer wedding, I'm parked near the field where the bridal party plays a celebratory softball game. A fly ball lands on the car next to mine, and I hear shouts of "Get the Mercedes, get the Mercedes!"
I didn't know it would come to this in the early 1980s when a bargain 240D came along and I uneasily decided to relax and enjoy it. A gasoline shortage was lingering just as the family had to get a new car. Diesel fuel was relatively cheap and available. Here was this classic black 1976 diesel, only 60,000 miles on it, lovingly cared for by its one previous owner.
"Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes-Benz," sang Janis Joplin, rhyming it with "I must make amends." I'm not making amends. I did feel slightly un-American buying an imported car. But, after all, a Massachusetts dealer was profiting from the transaction, providing employment and paying taxes. And the 240D has continued to provide considerable employment (replacing parts and paint) while the enduring four cylinders have clocked close to 190,000 miles. A company in Muncie, Ind., found my name and let me know it sells new, used, and rebuilt parts "for Mercedes-Benz automobiles only."
We're a later generation than a friend's father, who in his day went through a ritual of hailing any fellow Mercedes on the road. The exotic luxury car has become a bit more everyday. It's a getaway vehicle in the title role of a new novel, "A White Merc With Fins."
"Let me know if you ever want to sell," says the young woman running the service station, noting that she has two Mercedeses already.
"What year is it?" strangers ask when I'm waiting at a curb. Half the time the inquirer has or had an elder Mercedes, too, and often with more miles on it.
A few days ago when I drew up to a traffic light, a smiling young couple pulled their car alongside and yelled, "We're thinking of getting a diesel!"
And a couple of nights later, when I was on the way to play for a dinner dance, three laughing young women on the corner circled their fingers in the A-OK sign for my black car and perhaps my black tie.
But once when we were far from home, the muffler gave out, and no one would touch it except a Mercedes dealer with several vehicles on display. There was a brief temptation to trade in the old Merced for a slightly younger one in brown, the color favored in Hollywood, according to comedians. Sometimes I hear about my failing to go for the brown when yet another thing has to be fixed on the incumbent.
On a trip South, we were reduced to one gear when a transmission fluid line broke. It was like discovering Christmas to find out about the Mercedes emergency service, almost like your own private AAA, which has a wonderful roadside manner even with a broken-down '76.
Speaking of gears, I've just read that the transmission of the new Mercedes E420 can adapt its shifting pattern to anybody's driving style after electronically "learning" it. Sometimes I think the old 240D has learned all about me without electronics. Certainly its squarish shape looks intelligent.
Almost immediately after we bought our non-gas-guzzler, the gasoline shortage turned into a glut, and sometimes diesel prices have topped gasoline's. We've had moments of suspense when the fuel-pump warning icon on the dashboard goes red, and the next three service stations carry only gasoline. Or the car stands out in the country cold for a couple of days, and the diesel fuel turns to jellied consomm. One time we were saved by a hair dryer on a long cord from the farmhouse we were staying in.
The dealer told us that the nice thing about a Mercedes is that you can always sell it for what you paid for it, assuming a certain amount of inflation. Be that as it may, the official value has declined so that we owe almost no yearly excise tax. When we pay for yet another repair, we reason that if we had a new car we'd be paying as much in excise taxes.
"Yes," said a sympathetic dealer, "but you'd have a new car."
Right now I don't think I'll ever want to change. But that's what I said about the Falcon.

Communication
About the Program
C-SC’s Communication program develops communication skills to enhance personal and professional opportunities. Students can focus their studies in one of three areas: media, sports communication or public relations. The major does require at least three semesters of practical experience in either the student newspaper, the student operated radio station or the student-run TV studio. Most students also complete a professional internship to enhance their experiences. All graduating students are required to complete a portfolio of their best work to assist them in the job interview process.
What Makes the Program Distinctive?
Culver-Stockton’s Communication major is a distinctive program, preparing graduates for careers in media, sports communication and public relations. Professors educate and train studetns through career-based assignments, practical hands-on experiential learning in our TV and radio stations and newspaper and case studies. Our students may choose to focus their studies in one of three communication areas: media communication, sports communication and public relations. We also share a strong speech and theatre education major with the Theatre Department.

Ribbed Flower Vase
The Eternal Mind as Artifact and Remnant
This collection of ceramic objects and prints is a part of my continuous exploration of how humanity seeks to preserve the mind after the expiration of the ephemeral body. Every aspect of knowledge has been inherited. Artifacts such as pottery or manuscripts serve as examples of knowledge that has been preserved for future generation to access knowledge about their anthropological roots after predecessors have passed away.
I am drawn to the idea of the mind as an infinite entity existing in the objects an individual leaves behind. After looking at Aboriginal Art and Symbolist writers of the 20th Century, I discovered that the connection between the primitive crafts and avant garde writings was the use of symbolism reflecting their awareness of the human relationship to the natural world. In this series, remnants take the forms of functional craft, written document, or fossil. I approach the individual object as a segmented organism that reflects a physical antiquity but also signifies the permanent ideas of the owner; the object's purpose is redefined as a personified storyteller as it interacts with the audience.
Textural objects and paper narratives symbolize the deposit of antiquated ideas. I use contrasting colors and inscribed writings to communicate the separation of the mind and the body. As history was traditionally passed on through word of mouth, the words on the ceramic objects and prints, once read, are available to exist with the viewer beyond the existence of the artwork.

I told him what i was doing when it suddenly started but i think he don't understand realy what i had done.LOL
My own gp is a artist as well so she understand me much better, we are more friends of each other. because of the same occupation.LOL
sometimes my appoinments with her are because of that very strange.LOL
i take n ow much better care when i do something like yesterday;-D and i will buy a better mask.;-D
thank you for your advice for feeding my cats with some meat;-D
Muis don't alowed to eat normal feet anylonger she has a bad kidney problem, so she got her special kidney food,
she don't eat too much she is still sooo stressed out of wolfje,-S
i think i must give her some soft food of that and took wolfje in an other room so she can eat more quietly.
Birmees cat are know of anorexia problems, Muis had done this before , and ended on the IC in the hospital for pets-S
she was there off all the pets the fave of the working people.LOL
The vet md that treated her took some picts of her, didn't understand it then, but now i do.;-D
only Gerard is a little bit scared of her, she of him, that's because he had helped me to make her leg cleaning, when it was broken and was scaffolding of metal outside as well. she broke her leg very complicated.-S It took 6 monhts to heal and she had several operations-S And all the time she had to live in a large bench.
Then her sis was living still and she adored and loved her sister sooooo much so she came everyday to visited Muis and lay next to her in her special cat bad. LOL
the orthopedic vet of muis didn't liked it. but i was always when she was with her sis in front of the bench to hold them out the bench when they were acting to fitght, but indy was very well know of that. so she was very kind to her sis.LOL
She loved the bench soooo much and she was soooo smart that she had figured it out how to open the door, so i have found sometimes when i came home muis outside the bench and indy insite.LOL
at first i thought that i had forgotten to close the door careful, but later on i discovered it out that indy was the one.LOL
birmees and birmillas are very smart cats.LOL
Yeaaah the coco helped me a lot i'm tooo skinny so i have always to law tempertures. Thats whey i have made so much heating scarf pillows. LOL
bought yesterday yarn to knit sweater for over other sweater to make, i weare a lot of layers of sweaters daily.LOL
but my cats love to lay underneat them as well when they are laying on my lap. so they are toooo roomy and to old to weare them to appointments, so i thought okay i must buy some
and started to knit, but the yarn is very fluffy so i had started over and over a few time becaus when you have a piece knit it's much wider then when you have done a small piece to know how much stiches you must cast on.
i started with 100 and after all i have now 60 stiches.LOL
so i have already a large piece knitted;-D
i don't fall then asleep and i can watch the movie on the tele then.LOL
hey this is on a celebreathing day a very very long letter, sorry for that.
have fun today and lots of love greetings and hugs with xxxxxxxxxx
but... i will be brave and go to that therapy.LOL
i think i did something wrong yesterday with my work and got asthma again.
it wasn't my own gp , so he told me at first it wasn't my longs or asthma, arggggg. because my oxygen level was the last time too good, but now it wasn't so he thought it can be asthma.LOL
i only think then okay i will be brave and follow the therapy's and they examinations and then i have showned them that i was right.LOL
i don't argu any more.

I haven't been able to do my nails because I hurt my wrist again : I was fooling around at school and I kinda went to hip bump this guy and we both fell and he fell on my wrist and it's like sprained : Entirely my fault though, lol. But he keeps bringing me icecream cos he feels bad
Oh I'm awful at math, but my best subject by far is social studies. Always A's in that course, last two years 96%. I want to study history in uni, so I need good grades in that class. Plus it comes really easily to me :]
My room is a mess, which is kinda weird. I can't keep it neat, but it bugs me so much cos I like stuff to be perfect. But my notes and schoolwork and especially my computer, are all organized and perfect :]
and afraid of agian to put in the bench, he lays still folded in the livingroom, gerard will put him away for me.
it will helps a lot, too for a more large space for my wheels.LOL
i have slept a very long time, the first night.LOL
glad, hey have an awesome fine weekend
love, hug, fun and kisses
but poor puss she is afraid of monster Woflje .LOL so she will got freely lay in the bench or she lay underneat my sweater on m y lap to be safe of Wolfje.LOL
so i' m very protecting for muis and try to calm down the angry Wolfje.LOL
so....
no i don't like it either , but i can't change my house ,and i have spend a lot of time and energy to let my house become more driveable, but it didn't helped.-S
so that's why i'm happy with my new house to be;-D
And my cats are very intelligent , i knew this allready, all of the birmees and birmilla's are very clever , so when you like their brand of cat you must make special adjustments to your house to make it more catresistant.LOL
and this is the first cat t hat knows to much of computers and which buttons she must push on.LOL
hey this will be it for today, have a lot of fun and for next weekend an, awesome fun fine weekend, love hugs and crafting fun with
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
i think that we could learn a lot of others and too of their mistakes;-D
The women were very good, the man not so.
My Wolfje does do that too. like that. i think it's like baby's mums know of their sounds too what they mean or asking.
but the birmilla is wellknow of their comments.LOL
She was punished by Gerard my coach he had asked me may i, i know that he is kind so i trusted him, and he set her on the balcony so she learned to be quiet and brave when he is in the room.
some day later i had closed a door and she was stile behind it, and she tought ooooh i must keep my mouth because i must wait longer. poor cat. LOL
but she is adorable too with her talking only when i must phone.....S
then she will have attention so she brings her toys and does do a lot of things that she knows i hate.LOL
today she opened the cd case of my computer-S
she know a little buttons to well-S
so i tod the lady wait a moment my cat does do something with my computer.LOL
i was talking of how smart the new coocker would be for me and too when i become worse, she didnt know so hummm not okay!!!
i must thing of an other option.
tomorrow muis will go back to her orthopedic vet for new xrays i hope she don't have to stay so much longer in the bench any more mayby 2 months.
i keep my fingers crossed, i must call today how much it will cost me;-D
So she will be of the whole day, i will miss her;-D
she is sometimes sooooo dirty , her sister was always her big washing gril,LOL but Indy is now a year dead.
so that's why i have now Wolfje.;-D
hey have a nice day and give your pets some strokes.
hugs and kisses;-D
Oh, that's good :] I don't really have a problem like that guy right now, but I'll keep that in mind for sure! And atleast now you can carpool in peace lol.
Yep, my mum and I do it every year. She had breast cancer 7 years ago, it was pretty bad but she's officially in remission now so it's all good. So we give back, can't donate much but every little bit helps.
Thanksgiving for me is on the 11th of October, I live in Canada haha. We definitely get fall here, but it's very rainy and not nice. And it's supposed to be a bad winter, lots of snow. Which is nice in theory, but when it turns to slush... yuck.
I'm always stressing about school, I'm a perfectionist so I need everything to be As. Which I get mostly, but in math I'm doomed to Bs. We get agendas when we pay our students fees, so that we can keep track of everything. But I don't use the part where you allot time for things, I do stuff whenever I want
It sounds like a good idea though haha!
Oh, did you end up getting away from him? I hate having to avoid people, why can't they just stay away in the first place lol :]
I did the run for the cure today, it was quite fun! It rained, but me and my mum saw some people who we knew from a few years ago, so it was awesome to talk to them again! Pretty good day overall, it's my cousins birthday party tonight so I get chocolate cake. Yum
love the story of Luke.
Wolfje is missing her auntie but she is a lovely one year kitten.
Friday Gerard was with his wife by me and saw Wolfje and told everybody she is mine and would liked to sit next to her but his wife told him it was her place.LOL
so he picked wolfje under neat his arm and she called loudly that she didn't liked it. She gaves of all the things we do a comment she is a big talker.
i had heard that when i saw the kittens but i didn't realized that it was more then i knew.LOL
but i like her talking it's sooo easy when she tell what she liked and not and what's the matter, i know of her sounds what 's wants' like a mum with her baby.LOL
she lay now beside me on the bed, i have a lazy pj sunday afternoon, yesterday night i went to see a play in the theatre, it was half a job and half pleasure.LOL
i must checked the new theatre how driveable it was becoming.
so i got the entree for free, and was with some friends very pleasuring eve i had.
liked the play it was strange because i don't like such vugar plays but it was a higly educationed vulgar play.!!!!
very strange and their sun was to young to understand the humour of it. i only had to laught a lot of the women they were very good actors ,!
so i must recover from last night.LOL
hey have a lazy fun sunday afternoon and a nice fun week as well;-D
xxxxxxxxxx
aaaaaw so sweet that you rushed to the vet with her. Muis was before she broke her leg so ill too, and had to stay on the IC of the vet hospital and she recoverd very soon there, so she was glad that she was back too.
she was the fave of all the nurses and vets , i knew why.LOL
she is very tiny and loved to get attentions and she is well raised. so she is used to get pill of me and brushed and other things they normally don't like, she is so she was the whole time friendly and when she is ill she loved to hold by humans.LOL
she did this too, so when i had to call the vet how she was doing they cried out oooooh you're the owner of Muis, ooooh she is soooo lovely and funny and sweet, we love her all.
i was flabber gasthed at that time, but later i knew why.LOL
when the nurses came besides her box she stood with her paws to the class and asked for some holding.LOL
she wass bold on a lot of places for all t he examinations and tubes that she had, so i didn't understand why the vet would like to set her on a picture.LOL
i told her she don't look beautiful and they told me yes she does.
i normally forget that i don't have normal cats , they aren't commen for most people, they aren't such polulair brands.LOL
and i only see the inside of them, LOL
aaaah so lovely that you have bath her.LOL like the story.LOL
hey have a nice day and a lot of fun.:_D
but muis don't so i have set the tele on during the day. not fine, i can't bare it .LOL
to much sounds.LOL
but she likes it, because she don't feel herself too lonely;-D
and she lay on a heating element under the cushion.
she loved that,, and she know that when she calls me i will come to check her.
i t hought like you, but you're right , it happend and then you must make the best of it to help her and get well.
but she don't understand why she had to stay there-S
last time, wolfje visited her, but both don't match to well.LOL
muis is afraid to share her catbed with wolfje, and wolfje would only lay in her bed on the best place.
but i think that it will go someday right again.
My helping friends are coming this morning to move the art of my gone partner and some parts of mine too.
i have done the hard part allready, so i feel tired allready-S
but i love the idea of having weekend and some time for myself.LOL

i'm her nurse and specially during the night she need some help-S
Last time (her leg was broken 1.5 years ago 3 bones, and it was very complicated, so she had to stay an half year in the bench.
but sadly the pin that must keep inside the bones together was no longer adjust and began to move, and thats why her bone was broken again and had damaged her knee.) she had to stay too long in the bench.
so i hope that she is alowes to go out side over one or two months.
And yes the computer is fun, but my work too;-D
i'm working at home;-D
hey have a nice fun weekend;-D
i have found two old ones ( with out the step , so they are only moving by hand) on the street to trow away and i thought noooo way, thats sooo aweful to trow such a beautiful machine away.

hey have a nice day and much love and hugs and crafting fun;-D
Oh, yeah, she ended up being alright. Besides having the needle in her finger she kinda puked, so she was more embarassed than anything. They just took her to emergency to get it fixed :]
Yeah, I'm going to Ardene's today, so I should be able to pick up something cheap there. I can always fall back on OPI, which I love, but $10 a bottle, for a colour I'll probably rarely wear, sounds a bit much hehehe.
Oh wow, haha, that's like cosmic! Somehow you knew to bring up the extra drink- good thing too ;]
Not much, haha. I'm a very boring person! I got my GoCard today, which is like picture id for high school students, you can get a cheaper rate on public transit, gets you into school dances, etc. And on my picture, which also goes in the yearbook, you can see my awful tan lines!!! I was mortified, haha. I didn't even think I had very much of a tan cos I hadn't spent a lot of time in the sun!! And my friends were saying that it wasn't noticeable that day, but I guess the flash from the camera made it brighter? And I look kinda burnt too, it's awful :| But my smile looks nice
soooo sad, because my nana had saved every week in the early 1900 every week 25 cents as a kiddo for paying him off.
she was a great sewer.
as a child when i was visited her with my family i was alawed to play on the steps of him and the wheel tram.
my brother was always the tramdriver-S
i would liked that too.LOL
I have an old birnina, that's a inbetween machine for household and industry , i love him and glad t hat i have such a one.-D
LIke the idea of your etui, but there all ready a lot of how to, take first a look why your's is much special, it cost a lot of work to make an how to. i have seen a lo t tute's that are allready made , sooo bad of all the work, i always think.
but i love to see your etui;-D
i'm working on a cat house for my cats, it will be a very dutch one.LOL
hey have an awesome day;-D
A kid in my class sewed his finger to the material- I always thought that only happened in movies :o It was quite disgusting! I stick my fingers alot doing hand sewing, and I hate blood so I always get a little sick
That'll be a really good how-to, cos I have a lot of vacation tees that my cousins have gotten me, and they're huge
I'm not musically inclined at all- can't sing or play an instrument. I was seriously the only kid in music class in elementary school who couldn't master the recorder, which pretty much anyone can do lmao. And we learned guitar, but my hands are hopelessly small and it never felt comfortable.
Hahaha, yes, my little Indy has very dark hair (my profile pic lol) and it's always on me. It gets stuck to my tights, which I hate. And my bfs cat Marshie is an orange tabby, which always looks lovely on black or white shirts. You'd think he'd be a white cat, but nooooo his family had to do things differently ;P
And yes, definitely turkey then as soon as I find brown polish!!!
Oh wow, I just took a sewing course at school a couple of years ago! Awe, I'm sure your stuff is good, it's usually better than what you think it is :] I made a pair of boxers at school, but my teacher helped with them so they don't really count hehehe.
I can't wait to see the how-to, I'm sure it'll be awesome!
My day was alright, I nearly hacked up a lung but I needed to do the Bio test so I went to school. My throat feels like it's on fire, lol, but I got to see my friends so it kinda evened out ;P How was your day?
Maggie sounds like she has had a great time..
I like it when they have fun..
pj
my daughter taught her to do that.
I had a dog once many years ago, I taught to say his paryers..so smart he was , I miss him.
im glad that boot pattern will help.
I printed out a few patterns to make small animals, cant wait to sew them.A dolphin for a friend of mine..she will love it.
I have made my yorkie a vest n cap will be posting pic of it soon..love doggie clothes..lol.
Yeah, I sew a little but not a lot. Can't do straight lines lol. What do you sew,like clothes or just like plush animals and stuff? My cousin makes all her own clothes, they're gorgeous!!
At the top part, you have to stitch a elastic band. I took also a part from the shirt to put the elastic in. It's diffictult to explain.
I also linned the skirt with the same white fabric because it was a bit transparant.
try this link about doggy boots, I think they even tell you how to measure
good luck..
Learning new things is always some struggle, but wiht tiny steps you becoming a great one. don't forget that.
My neigbhours told me this when i had to learn moving my wheels outside. It's like children walking is starting with first standup and then one stap and fall down, and some days later two and so on.
We people , we always forget that it takes a lot of eford and struggling to learn new technics.;-D
And sewing allready a pencil case, awesome!!! You must keep that so you can see him when you having a not so fine crafting time behind the sewing machine. So you know that it's only just this day and all of learning and becoming better.
i like that kind of theory to feel myself a little better, when i must learn new things too;-D
I have still a pencil case of my sis when she had just her own sewing machine , now adays she tells everyone she can't sew .LOL
and then i show her the pencil case and we both must laugh.LOL
hey have a fun fine day and small things are fun too. (tiny steps to the big goal.LOL)
Oh wow, I'm gonna write those down cos there are a lot there! And, if you think it'd be good, I'll definitely try the turkey leg. Hmm, I'll have to find some brown nail polish- I have the weirdest colours since I started doing designs ;) They're super easy to do, and when I do a how-to or a creation I just do a couple nails anyways, so it takes a little longer to do all 10 (my right hand always looks so bad cos I can't draw to save my life with my left!) but the end result is worth it!!
there are lots of places for boot patterns..
PJ
Hehe, little brothers...
Officially published my snowmen nails, although it'll take a while before it's on the site. Just did it since I replied to your last comment, so they aren't very good haha. But I really wanted to try it out, it looks better in person because it's not as glaringly obvious that the circles aren't really circular :o And I'm gonna try some other themes too, so we'll see.
Oh, well atleast you try! I'm too self-conscious to do a class, I have awful balance and zero co-ordination, quite embarassing actually ;)
Possibly a leaf for fall, a turkey leg (I kid haha, that might possibly be weird) some holly, snowflakes? The possibilities are endless heehee.
pj
I look online and see pic of clothes I like and make it like them , or as close I can..
they usually turn out pretty cute, I also make doggie diapers.They look so cute with ruffles, I will put up pic of her in the pjs I made her..
sooooooo cute..lol
My brother just broke his toe playing soccer, so he has to hobble around everywhere. And I have this weird mutated cold, and I can barely breathe so I didn't go to school today. And I have a bio test tomorrow so I HAVE to go. Sucks haha. Ahaha, sorry for the rant.
But yeah, I hate feeling like I'm too busy for stuff. Just wanna pause the clock sometimes and have some extra time to finish everything I want to do. Like get a creation done for snowmen nails! :]
they should all be spoiled..smile..
the pic is of my smallest poodle..her name is
gypsy.I make my doggies clothes and this little one has to wear pajamas all winter cause she gets cold..smile..
pj
I have 6 girls and 1 teeny tiny little bitty male..lol..I have 2 poodles , 2 yorkies, 2 maltese, and the male is the teeny one..hes a yorkie.lol..I have pups now they are maltese..5 of them sooooooo little and cute and they love the tiny fluffy toys..Im just now washing them for them..I love my babies they all sleep with me to..lol.
Pj
And yes, I've been trying some different ideas out, some have worked others not so much haha, but since I've had a lot of schoolwork I haven't really had a lot of time.
Possibly some new how-to's or creations next weekend?
i'm used to this in real life too, so i must think everyday think of a lot of sulotions, because i'm a wheelie.LOL
And living in an very old town that isn't driveable makes my more creative in my solutions.
so don't give up, you will be soon better too.
and my work demands me to make those solutions too;-D
or i must use more normal material.LOL
hey ,you you will see after a while you that you make progress too;-D
but thank you for you big complement i appriciate it.;-D
hey have an awesome fun week;-D xxx
they get them out to..lol.but I think i can make them different so they cant get them out..lol..they are suck stinker..have fun
pj
I saw a tute, and thought i must try this out, and after a lot of melting and burning and still flat flower beads, i thought i can't stand this.
i had done allready a lot of experiments with the normal plastic wraps of boxes and packages and saw that when you use such a heathing gun it melt again, and so it hought of it.
too of i must make a molt for them to push inside, and because i will move i'm agger to use recycling materials.
because i didn't know i've glay or other things would work too, i thought of using wood, i use that too for the recycling beads of new shapes.
so after some hours crumpy of the not working shrinky dinks i found this solution and thought i must share this, but still have a lot of computer problems.-S
i hated when things don't work well, i'm used to think of other ways and solutions.LOL
hey have much crafting fun when you try it out and have a lazy sunday too;-D
thank you PJ

Cristiano Ronaldo vs Lionel Messi: Inside the feud between the Poseur and the Dwarf
- Argentina's Lionel Messi and Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo go head-to-head at Old Trafford on Tuesday
- Much of Ronaldo's Messi-directed ire stems from his sense of injustice at not always being treated the same
- Both players are doting dads and both can be driven and dominating forces in the dressing room
They have spent the last six years as rivals on the pitch and on the Ballon d’Or short-list yet we have never seen them sharing so much as a post-match conversation, much less swapping shirts.
As Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo prepare to face each other when Argentina play Portugal at Old Trafford on Tuesday, Pete Jenson looks at the rivalry and asks: do they really despise each other or is there a begrudging mutual respect?
Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo go head-to-head when Argentina play Portugal at Old Trafford
Unpleasant nicknames
In his book about Jose Mourinho’s three years at Real Madrid, Diego Torres wrote that some of the people around Ronaldo had taken to referring to Messi as ‘the dwarf’ whenever they discussed him.
The term seems to have been applied to motivate Ronaldo and convince him that he was better than the four-times Ballon d’Or winner. What Torres never suggests is that the derogatory comment ever came from Ronaldo himself.
In Guillem Ballague’s book Messi, Ronaldo is said to refer to the Barcelona player as ‘Cabronazo’ in the Real Madrid dressing room. The Spanish swearword is translated as a particularly colourful epithet in the English version of the book but could just as easily be rendered as ‘bastard’, which in the context of a psyched-up dressing room before a Clasico would be nothing out of the ordinary. Ronaldo denies ever disrespecting Messi, tweeting in midweek: ‘I have the utmost respect for all my professional colleagues, and Messi is obviously no exception.’
Messi trains with the Argentina squad at Manchester City's Carrington training centre
Brilliant for their clubs, Messi and Ronaldo have failed to deliver on the international stage
The wages war
Much of Ronaldo’s Messi-directed ire stems from his sense of injustice at not always being treated the same.
At the 2012 European Footballer of the Year ceremony, Ronaldo was furious that then Barcelona president Sandro Rosell accompanied Messi and eventual winner Andres Iniesta to the presentation while Real Madrid president Florentino Perez stayed at home, sending low-ranking director Pedro Lopez in his place.
Ronaldo at the time was also entering his fourth season at the club still with his original deal in place while it seemed Messi’s contract was being improved on an almost half-yearly basis. By September 2013 Perez had awarded Ronaldo a new five-year deal worth £17million a season putting him above Messi, whose deal was renewed at the end of the season to restore parity.

Barcelona forward Messi and his girlfriend Antonella Roccuzzo
The image
For years Messi came across as the shy, humble, boy wonder while Ronaldo was the brash poseur with the model girlfriend. But the image of both men has changed.
Reporters at Portugal’s World Cup play-off win over Sweden in 2013 will never forget Ronaldo wandering through the press area with his then three-year-old son, Ronaldo Jnr, leading the way, telling the assembled media, ‘He never fails’ after his father’s goal had given Portugal a 1-0 lead.
When Ronaldo stopped to answer questions there was a tug on the trouser leg from his son who had the media in stitches saying: ‘Let’s go, daddy, I am sleeping with you tonight?’
But while Ronaldo’s image has softened, Messi’s has hardened. A tax evasion case against him and his father is going through the courts. And he has been depicted as an at-times authoritarian figure in the Barca dressing room. It is claimed that after Real Madrid won 2-1 in Pep Guardiola’s last Clasico in 2012, the coach sought out Messi only to be dismissed by the player who told him: ‘What you should have done is pick a team to win, instead of what you did do.’
It is also said that Messi texted from the back of the team bus to Guardiola at the front criticising him for giving Zlatan Ibrahimovic Messi’s central-striking berth in one game in 2009.
Ronaldo and Messi have not exactly swapped personas. It is still Ronaldo who steps out with Russian model Irina Shayk, and Messi is unlikely to become an underwear model anytime soon, but the pair are no longer quite at opposite ends of the personality spectrum they once were. Both are doting dads and both can be driven and dominating forces in the dressing room.

Boy wonder while Ronaldo was the brash poseur with the model girlfriend
International let-downs
Another thing that unites them has been their failure to deliver on the international stage. Ronaldo went home after the group matches of this summer’s World Cup and was the subject of more headlines off the pitch than on it with constant concerns over his fitness and a bizarre topless model stalker, the Brazilian former Miss Bumbum, having to be banned from Portugal’s training sessions.
Messi had a better tournament but was still unable to emulate Diego Maradona by winning the trophy as Argentina lost to Germany in the final. Both men will now probably finish their careers without a World Cup winners’ medal and both will understand the frustration of not being able to meet national expectations.

An Old Trafford embrace?
Will these shared sentiments help bring about a thaw in relations as they meet in relatively friendly circumstances on Tuesday? Or will club allegiances and their ongoing battle to stay ahead in the Ballon d’Or stakes, and in the all-time Champions League goals table, keep the cold war going until they both hang up their boots? The Messi-Ronaldo embrace will no doubt come one day. Tuesday might still be too soon.

This is the wreckage of a car which "somersaulted three times" - after it hit a deer.
Rob Tyzack, 71, said he woke in the night to the sound of three loud bangs and "screaming" to see the wreckage of a car on the cricket pitch near his house.
The retired policeman ran out to find a young man lying unconscious on the ground and a woman crying by the upturned vehicle surrounded by debris.
The trained medic said he was shocked the hospitalised pair "got out of the car alive" and police later found "a bit of the deer's face" near the crash scene.
Tyzack said he remembered first hearing the sounds at 3am yesterday outside his home in the small hamlet of Navestock Side, Essex.
He said: "I looked out of the window and could see there was a car upside down on the village green.
"There was smoke already coming from it and I could hear screaming."
After calling 999, Tyzack dressed quickly and ran outside to find a woman in her early 20s "screaming and crying by the edge of the road".
He said: "There was a man of the same age. He appeared to be unconscious and was lying in the grass between the road where the girl was and the car."
Tyzack said he checked the woman was okay before attending to the man, making sure he was breathing.
"There was debris spread all over round everywhere," he said.
At first, he said the man didn't respond at all, but then jumped up and pushed him away and tried to get back in the car.
He said: "It was a bit of a battle to keep him still."
About 10 minutes after arriving at the scene, Tyzack said the fire service arrived, shortly followed by police, two ambulances and a paramedic car.
The road was closed at either side of the crash site.
According to Tyzack, the man and woman told police they had hit something in the road, such as a "deer or a fox".
He added: "The police searched the area and about 150m away they found the remains of a deer.
"There was a bit of the deer's face where the car was at the accident scene.
"How they got out of the car alive was a mystery really."
Tyzack described a ditch at the side of the road, which he said the car seemed to have hit.
"It looked like the car has somersaulted at least three times. It was quite a shocking site."
He said the man had blood running down his face, a fractured eye socket and a possible spinal injury, while the woman possibly broken her right leg.
Tyzack added: "They were treated at the side of the road about half an hour before being taken to Queen Hospital in Romford."

Lively threatens legal action over fake nude snaps
Actress BLAKE LIVELY has threatened to take legal action after a set of fake nude snaps appeared on the internet.
The images, which show a blonde woman completely nude, surfaced on Tuesday (31May11) and soon appeared on several websites, but the Gossip Girl star's representative is adamant the girl in the pictures is not Lively.
The actress' legal team has now threatened to take action against anyone posting the photographs, as they are "100 per cent fake", with a rep telling Us Weekly, "The photos of Blake Lively which have just surfaced on various websites including Perez Hilton and Zap2it are 100 per cent fake.
"Blake has never taken nude photos of herself. Blake will pursue legal action against the publication which initially published these photographs and any other outlets that republish them in any manner."

Hunger Games stars join fight to stamp out starvation
THE HUNGER GAMES stars JENNIFER LAWRENCE and JOSH HUTCHERSON have launched a campaign to raise awareness of global hunger.
The pair teamed up with their Aussie co-star Liam Hemsworth to film a public service announcement encouraging fans to join the fight to feed the needy around the world.
In the PSA, Lawrence says, "Hunger is our planet's greatest solvable problem," while Hutcherson adds, "Let's make a difference, join us and help stop hunger."
The initiative encourages fans to make donations via text message or online to charities including the World Food Programme or Feeding America.
Feeding America CEO Vicki Escarra says, "Unlike the characters in The Hunger Games, we do not live in a country in which food is scarce. There is enough food to feed everyone living in the U.S., but it's not getting to millions of low-income people who need it."

St Trinian's film brings London to a standstill
The filming of the upcoming ST TRINIAN'S sequel brought London to a halt on Sunday (16Aug09) as the cast took over one of the city's busiest railway stations.
St Trinian's: The Legend of Fritton's Gold, the follow-up to the 2007 movie, is currently being shot in the U.K. and the actors surprised commuters at Liverpool Street Station by turning up in costume to film a scene for the new picture.
The stars, including Tamsin Egerton, Talulah Riley and Girls Aloud singer Sarah Harding, led a troupe of over a hundred girls, all dressed in school girl uniforms, as they performed a massive dance routine in the station's forecourt.
Crowds of onlookers gathered to watch as the cast performed their spectacular song and dance number for the cameras.
The film, which also stars Colin Firth and Rupert Everett, is scheduled for release later this year (Dec09).

Do you ever
deleted_user
have episodes where you feel fine - then when you are triggered by your fears all over again you forget how "fine" felt and just believed that it feels the same as you do now?
if that makes sense?
if that makes sense?
deleted_user
I know exactly what you mean. Sometimes it seems to me that afraid is the only "correct" way to feel and that fine is just a delusion. It's pretty hard to shake off. You just have to trust that you knew better when you were feeling ok than you do now, I guess.
deleted_user
Yes, I have experienced this.....sometimes I would get so bad that I lost sight of what good felt like.....it all can get very confusing. After learning how to meditate and really tuning in when I am feeling good I learned to flex the "good feeling" muscle and now have a hard time remembering what it was like to feel down......it works both ways! So, hang in there....this too shall pass!
deleted_user
It does work both ways. When I am in the pit of despair I cant remember what good feels like. When I am feeling good it is hard to remember and describe the feelings of terror and agonizing anxiety. It also is scary to feel good because you start to wonder how long it will last. Makes you crazy just thinking about it all.
deleted_user
I only really get anxious during the winter, and I'm fine for the most part during the summer. Every summer I think that maybe I can just hold on to the good feelings somehow, I mean those winter fears just seem so ridiculous! It always hits pretty hard when it starts up again. Then again, every year I get a little bit better at dealing with it.
deleted_user
Yes, yes! When I feel well I convince myself that I can control this and that I won't let it take me down, so stong and tough. But then all of a sudden an episode comes on and I am a helpless baby and can believe that I will get through it and I do forget the good days. It is a continuous...

Covering up & wasting energy
deleted_user
Before I was correctly treated (no meds at all) and before anyone talked about things like self-harm, I used to spend soooo much energy coping and trying to cover up. I doubt I'm alone.

Glad you feel comfortable in the DS community... its always hard not being yourself...

I've been here well over a year and it keeps getting better all the time. Glad you are finding something helpful, there is nothing like friends

Ditto!

suze are you wearing some corrective footwear, there? It looks like a serious podiatry issue there.
deleted_user
I used to think I spent so much time trying to act normal myself, how could I possibly have any energy left over for realising my dreams? Starting to move outside the square now though at last, thank God.
deleted_user
and thanks peoples for letting me be the freak that god made me! And for all the laughs and support & insights.
deleted_user
Painful, I feel the same way. Faking was a fulltime job. I basically lied about everything all the time; I became used to it. Now I feel like I can move onto other things.

>> stay or should I go...
deleted_user
My husband moved out last night. We've been on the rocks, well, pretty much our entire relationship (6 yrs, 3 of it married) and divorce has been looming off and on for some time. I'm trying to figure out which path to take...to be single again and hope for a new and happier life, or to stay and try to make this work. We both feel like we've been trying to force this for too long, but we LOVE eachother a lot. It's crazy, we're best friends, but at the same time we don't get along. knew it was time when HE told me he didn't want to try any more. I held on way too long, but honestly if I were your age I don't think I would have.
But ultimately you've got to do what feels right for you. You also don't want to have regrets later on, you know?
I'm sorry you're going through this. (((Hugs)))
It seems you're already looking toward moving on. Shrug. I always wished my wife would have consulted me a little more. So I'm bias
We had a long conversation Friday night about how we probably should have split long ago, but we're here now for some reason (love, safetey, etc.) and we are finally giving this the real attention it needs to sort things out and make the decision. It's just so hard! So many mixed feelings! It's not like he cheated on me so I can just leave cut and dry, or vice versa. In the past we've always just the recurring doubts under the rug because it was too scary to think about.
I need to figure out if I can change and grow IN THIS RELATIONSHIP. That is the key. I think we've been holding eachother back for a long time.
I suppose the question is do you still love him? If yes work toward making your relationship stronger. There are various things you can do in counseling/ just finding common enjoyments between each other.
I do love him. He is a great guy, as close to perfect as you can be really. I just don't know if we're right for eachother. We always have butted heads, and we wonder if we're just incompatible.
A huge part of this is that I've dealt with a lot of severe depression, and wasn't able to give him what he needed during that, and so he feels emotionally left out and has a lot of resentment about that. He was very good and took care of me the whole time, did his best he could at least.
The Truth About Love
The five languages of love
The five languages of apology
The 7 things Happy Couples Do.
They all carry very similar messages. The last one tells you what you need to be to be ready personally for the relationship. The first one tries to realistically put love in perspective. The middle two are really guides to putting good relationships together.
If I had had these 5 years ago, I believe I would have been able to fix my part of the relationship and possibly avoided the divorce.
We never got to the point of seperation, but we did get to the point of laying everything out on the table, and really being able to talk about it. About 8 years worth of crap, and it's been hard very emotional for me, but it has also really helped alot. We are now at a point of throwing out the old marriage and giving this new one a try. For the first time in so many years I think we may have a chance at happiness together, and not just being comfortable.
With all that has happened I feel like I can face it all better now I'm nore at peace with if it doesn't work out, and we decide to both move on, and no regrets. The time away will help with the soul searching you need to do, but be sure to keep the lines of communication open.
For me I'm going to counseling by myself, and it has really helped. I've been able to talk about and express feelings, do some soul searcing that I wouldn't be able to do with him in the room. Eventually he may join me, but for now I need to go it alone.
I wish you luck and lots of (((Hugs)))

helping a loved one
deleted_user
i have recently posted a discussion that i am having a hard time trying to reach out to my boyfriend of 4 years, he has been depressed for about 3 weeks now, i have tried everything i know, i have not talked to him in over a week, i have send him daily emails for encouragement and that i am there for him, i think now he is just feeling sorry for himself, this may be an awful question to ask, but if nothing good is working, how about a very nice version of tough love, to see if he can pull himself out of it? any advice? please help
deleted_user
Letting him no you love him whatever, is the only thing you can do, short of dragging him to the docter, n pressing him to tell whats hapening. Maybe if you left him for a day without emailing./ texting he would try to help himself, other than that, he has to help himself, n meet others half way. Sorry I cant be more positive. XXX
deleted_user
Perhaps it is just situational depression with the holidays and all? Has he talked to a Doctor? I know that when I am in one of my "down" times I just can't face being around people. Stimulation of noise, crowds, etc. send me into panic mode. I think you are doing the right thing by just letting him know that you are there. If it continues, he should really seek some help. It is hard to sit by and watched our loved ones suffering. xox...

here is what is displayed when I print out the character array after converting to a string.
[Ljava.lang.Character;@2e3fe12e
Here is what I am adding to my array
for (Point p : s1){ if (p.x == puckX && p.y == puckY){ orderOfSensors[numSensHit] = 'A'; numSensHit += 1; } }

- Description
Details
The Redwood B2 5-String 24 Bracket Banjo is a superbly crafted instrument that is perfect for beginners and those who are totally new to the banjo, who are looking for an easy to play and highly accessible instrument to get them started.
Mahogany body
The body is crafted from a warm-sounding mahogany, reinforcing the lower frequency power of the B2. The pot is a plain wood with 24 flat-type bracket hooks, giving you a great level of control over the top head tension. The top head is a resonant 11" Taiwan Remo white coated head, which perfectly projects the delightful tones produced in the body. The high gloss finish protects the body from unwanted scratches and knocks that can come whilst performing.
Married to the body is the comfortable nato set neck, which is accompanied by a smooth black walnut fingerboard - home to 22 delightfully playable frets. The neck plays very evenly and running your fingers along the fretboard is an absolute pleasure. Pearloid inlays adorn the fingerboard, guiding your way with vintage style.
Open-geared Tuners
Tuning integrity is upheld by open-geared tuning machines with high-gear ratio, offering peerless reliability. A nickel-plated brass tailpiece ensures the strings meet the body in the most secure way possible, giving them the ability to endure whatever you throw at them whilst performing.
The Redwood B2 5-String 24 Bracket Banjo is an excellent instrument. Every effort has been made to deliver the highest quality banjo possible at the most affordable price possible so that more people can appreciate the rewarding world of playing this versatile instrument.

Socioeconomic status (SES) has been shown to influence children's executive function and cognitive function more generally, and may play a role in one's ability to benefit from a cognitive or academic intervention. However, SES remains largely unstudied in the context of computerized cognitive training. Here we draw from two datasets of 6–18 year-old children completing online cognitive training to examine the impact of SES on executive function. The first study utilizes hierarchical linear modeling to examine how school-level free/reduced-price lunch status relates to executive function following cognitive training. The second study focuses on individual-level free/reduced-price lunch status and adds an active control condition. Both studies find that free/reduced-price lunch status and age are associated with improvements in executive function following training. However, there were no interaction effects between SES and condition, suggesting that there is little difference in how children from different SES groups benefit from computerized cognitive training.

Before the 2017-2018 school year began, Brother Michael French, FSC, conducted an all-day Retreat for De La Salle Collegiate Faculty and Staff at the Capuchin Retreat Center in Washington Township on August 21.
Brother Michael, from the Midwest District of the Brothers of the Christian Schools, led the retreat; Father Brian Meldrum, DLS ‘02, concluded the Day with Mass.
Mr. Brian Barker, DLS Campus Minister, said the Capuchin Retreat Center was specifically selected for its location.
“We thought having our Faculty and Staff at this site, where we have been taking Juniors for retreats for the last five years, offered the opportunity for quiet reflection and sharing in a setting designed for retreats,” said Mr. Barker. “Feedback on the day has been very positive.”
Veteran faculty member Mr. Gary Buslepp commented, “The opportunity to reflect individually on what we do here was valuable. Typically at a retreat, we meet in groups, and then come together. The setting really encouraged individual reflection.”

Los Angeles – Paris Hilton told CNN’s Larry King she would never again drink and drive and that her time in jail was “a time-out in life.” In her first televised interview since leaving jail, a demure Hilton said Wednesday that even though she’s an Aquarius and “we’re social people,” her time behind bars taught her “there’s a lot more important things in life” than partying.
“I’m frankly sick of it,” Hilton said, with loose, re-blonded locks and camera-ready makeup. “I’ve been going out for a long time now. Yeah, it’s fun, but it’s not going to be the mainstay of my life anymore.” She said her incarceration was “a very traumatic experience” that inspired a “journey” of self-discovery that she intends to continue. The world will see a new Paris Hilton, she said.
“I’m glad it happened in a way because it’s changed my life forever,” she said in the pre-taped, hour-long interview. “I feel stronger than ever and, I don’t know, I feel like this is a lesson in disguise.” The hotel heiress spent about 23 days in custody before she was sprung Tuesday. Hilton passed the time, she said, considering “what was important and what I want to do.” Among those plans? Using her fame to bring attention to social causes rather than the newest Hollywood nightspot.
.” Hilton said a big misconception about her is that she lives off her family’s money.
“I completely disagree with that,” she said. “I work very hard. I run a business. I’ve had a book on The New York Times best-sellers list. I’m on the fifth season of my TV show. I did an album. I do movies.” The media has exaggerated her party-girl image, she said, telling King twice she’s never taken drugs and does not have a drinking problem.
“I’m not really into it,” Hilton said of drinking.
Asked why she never tried to correct inaccurate reports of partying and drug use, Hilton said, “I’m telling you right now so I put a stop to it.” Alone in her cell for 23 hours a day, Hilton devoted herself to reading, writing and thinking. She said she made plans to help her fellow inmates and imagined ways to be “a more responsible role model.” “I feel like God does make everything happen for a reason,” she said. “And it gave me, you know, a time-out in life just to really find out what is important and what I want to do, figure out who I am.” Educated in Roman Catholic schools, Hilton said she’s “always been religious” and “always had a sense of spirituality but even more so after being in jail.” She bought a Bible from the jail commissary and read it daily, she said. Asked to name her favorite passage, she smiled and looked away.
“I don’t have a favorite,” she said.
At various points during the interview, Hilton read excerpts from her jailtime journals, beginning each passage with a heavy sigh. She wrote about being at a crossroads, characterizing it as “neither a downfall nor a failure, but a new beginning,” and about her “compassion for those I left behind at the prison.” “I want to help set up a place where these women can get themselves back on their feet,” she read. “I know I can make a difference and hopefully stop this vicious circle of these people going in and out of jail.” Hilton said she suffers from claustrophobia and attention deficit disorder, for which she takes medication. She said sheriff’s officials released her to home confinement after just three days because of claustrophobia and anxiety and panic attacks.
After a judge ordered her back to.” When asked about the party crowd she hangs with, including Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan and her reality TV co-star Nicole Richie, Hilton said “everybody makes mistakes.” “I think it’s hard for anyone when you’re in the spotlight so much,” she said. “It’s overwhelming for any young girl, but I’ve handled it well.”

St. Francis, the statue, will soon rejoin his flock at St. Francis of Assisi National Catholic Church in southeast Denver, after donors pitched in the $3,500 to replace a statue stolen on July 30.
The 5-foot-tall statue had greeted the congregation in front of the small church on South Jersey Street south of Leetsdale Drive for 18 years.
The new statue will be in place the week of Sept. 19, the Rev. John Kalabokes said Sunday. A dedication is planned on Sept. 26 after the 9 a.m. Mass. St. Francis is the patron saint of animals, so a blessing of the animals will be held with the dedication, Kalabokes said.
The congregation of about 50 members, most of them on fixed incomes, appealed for help in finding the stolen statue, which has not turned up. Then donors, many of them from outside the church, stepped in to replace it. The Denver Post

PORTLAND, ore. — Former Nuggets point guard Raymond Felton made two huge plays down the stretch Thursday night to lead the unbeaten Portland Trail Blazers past the previously unbeaten Nuggets 111-102 at the Rose Garden.
First, Felton stripped the ball from Denver point guard Ty Lawson to prevent a sure layup. Then Felton calmly made a 3-pointer at the other end to give the Blazers a 107-100 lead with 1:42 left in the game.
Portland’s hustle, the Blazers’ superior rebounding and Denver’s horrible outside shooting did in the Nuggets. The Nuggets were outrebounded 50-30 and were just 4-for-20 from 3-point range.
The first quarter was Denver coach George Karl’s worst nightmare. The Nuggets made just 8-of-29 shots (.276) and fell behind 30-17. They looked like they were running in sand.
“We couldn’t find an offensive rhythm, or even an offensive hot player, and we still stayed in the game,” Karl said. “Every game we’ve played so far this year we have not shot the ball very well. To still be in the game and have a chance to win it, I thought was pretty powerful.”
Center Timofey Mozgov got three quick fouls, ex-Nugget Marcus Camby was blocking anything near the rim, Nene was bricking easy shots one night after putting on a dunkfest against the Jazz, and Al Harrington was throwing up 3-pointers that endangered fans sitting under the basket.
All was forgiven during a 36-point second quarter that saw the Nuggets pull even at 53 behind 10 points by Lawson, who led the team with 25 points.
This despite Denver being outrebounded 33-20 in the first half and Danilo Gallinari (3-for-10), Nene (3-for-8), Harrington (3-for-8) and Andre Miller (2-for-9) missing shots they normally make.
“Tonight we had a lot of open looks that we flat-out missed,” said Denver’s Arron Afflalo, who had 19 points on 6-of-12 shooting. “I thought we did a good job staying in the game, despite it being ugly.”
The Nuggets were 35-of-87 (40.2 percent) from the floor and had just seven turnovers to Portland’s 25.
“I’m confused too. I’ve got to look at the tape. You look at 40 percent, but they had 28 fast-break points,” Portland coach Nate McMillan said. “We made them miss some shots, but a confusing game in the sense of what the stat sheet looked like and what we did.”
The aggressive, more physical Blazers had seven blocked shots in the first half, but that didn’t stop the quick transition Nuggets from continuing to push the ball and take it to the rim. Denver had 20 fast-break points in the half and 36 points in the paint, but if the Nuggets didn’t start playing better defense the ending of this one was inevitable.
“I didn’t think we had a rhythm, a flow off,” Karl said, “and when we did they made some good plays. They’re very long and they’re very protective of the basket. … In the fourth quarter, we never got that easy basket.”
It wasn’t LaMarcus Aldridge or Gerald Wallace or Jamal Crawford who lit up the Nuggets in the third quarter. It was Wesley Matthews, who hit four 3-point shots, spotting up and taking advantage of teammates’ penetration.
Denver wasn’t doing quite as well from long range — the Nuggets were 0-for-12 until Lawson finally got one down, but if the Nuggets had the legs, an 83-79 deficit didn’t look that imposing.

Owners of a bookshop which was feared may collapse under the weight of its own literature say they are “delighted” – after raising £10,000 for repairs in less than one month.
Scarthin Books, in Cromford, needed major renovation to ensure its three floors didn’t crumble under the weight of its books.
Owners launched an ambitious Crowdfunding appeal to save the shop in March – and have now reached their target with four days left to go.
Wendy Cooper, of Scarthin Books, said: “It’s fantastic to have reached the target early. We feel so pleased that people have been so wonderful and generous – it’s amazing that the shop is so well loved.”
The shop – which was dubbed one of the best in the world in 2007 – received donations from people across the globe.
The bookshop has now had four steel columns fitted, meaning fears that the bookshop may crumble have been put to one side.
Wendy said: “The shop is definitely structurally sound now, which is a relief.
“We’ve got over 100,000 books on all of our floors, which is quite some weight. There were some serious concerns that the building might crumble. But we can relax now.”
Wendy said the next works to be done are: re-pointing the gable end and chimney, to make it waterproof; fitting new carpet; replacing the blinds which shelter the 50p books outside.
She said: “Very soon, we will have a full meeting to decide what repairs and renovations we will be able to afford.”
Owner Dave Mitchell said the shop had been groaning under the weight of its books for years.
Dave said: “For many years we’ve sidelined building and general maintenance work in favour of ploughing any spare cash – and our overdraft – back into the bookshop and on creative expansion projects in the children’s room, art room, music room and cafe.”
The much-loved shop has served customers for 40 years now, and was even voted as the sixth best bookshop in the world by Guardian online in 2007.

WASHINGTON — How does one end almost 54 years of hostility toward a next-door neighbor?
That's about to become clear as the Obama administration and the communist government of Raul Castro move to normalize more than a half-century of bitter animosity between the United States and Cuba.
It won't happen overnight. Some of the likely steps:
RESTORING FULL DIPLOMATIC TIES:
While international relations can be subject to laws passed by Congress, the White House enjoys broad discretion in diplomatic recognition. An exchange of diplomatic notes between Washington and Havana would be enough to normalize diplomatic relations, but that must be preceded by agreement on a series of separate understandings that would govern those ties.
High-level discussions to reach those understandings will begin in late January in Havana as part of previously scheduled U.S.-Cuba immigration talks. The top U.S. diplomat for the Americas, Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs Roberta Jacobson, will lead the administration's delegation. Jacobson told reporters on Thursday that the process is in many ways "mechanical" and will not be contingent on reaching accords on areas of deep U.S. concern, notably Cuba's human rights record.
Nor are comprehensive settlements of outstanding U.S. and Cuban legal claims against each other and private companies required for normalization, she said. President Barack Obama and others maintain, though, that improving human rights and resolving other contentious issues, including lawsuits, will remain key U.S. priorities moving forward.
Diplomatic relations between the U.S. and Cuba were severed in 1961 but partially restored in 1977 with the creation of U.S. and Cuban interests sections staffed by diplomats in the countries' respective capitals. Those facilities are technically under the authority of Switzerland, which serves as what is known as a "protecting power" for both the United States and Cuba in each other's nation. Once full diplomatic relations are restored, those interests sections would be converted to embassies.
REOPENING THE U.S. EMBASSY IN HAVANA AND NOMINATING AN AMBASSADOR:
As with recognition, the U.S. Constitution gives the executive branch wide discretion in opening and closing diplomatic facilities. But Congress must approve money to pay for them, and Senate confirmation is required for ambassadorial nominations. Several senators opposed to the administration's policy shift have threatened to withhold funding for an embassy in Havana and to block any nominee for ambassador. Since Congress has for 37 years funded the interests section in Havana and for its staff, who provide vital services to Americans and Cubans, administration officials do not believe Congress will block payments to convert the mission to an embassy. The State Department says it plans to use the building in which the current interests section is located, a six-story structure that served as the embassy from 1953 until 1961, and does not expect the change to cost significantly more than what is currently spent.
The ambassador post could be more problematic. A single senator can block a nomination. Administration officials expect that any nominee will face a difficult confirmation process but note that the functions of an ambassador are often carried out by a deputy chief of mission or charge d'affaires. The administration says it hopes to have the embassy open "within months" but that timetable will be dictated by the speed of the broader normalization effort.
ENDING THE U.S. EMBARGO AND REMOVING THE 'STATE SPONSOR OF TERRORISM' DESIGNATION:
The executive branch does not have the power to abolish the 1963 embargo, but it can take steps to mitigate its effect. Ending the embargo would take an act of Congress, and administration officials admit they are not optimistic that will happen soon. Officials say, however, they believe an easing of sanctions will eventually create conditions in Cuba that will persuade opponents of normalization to vote in favor of ending the embargo.
In addition to the embargo, Cuba is subject to sanctions under other legislation, including its designation in 1982 as a "state sponsor of terrorism." That designation restricts U.S. foreign assistance, bans defense exports and sales, puts controls over exports of dual-use items and sets out numerous financial and travel restrictions. Obama announced he had instructed Secretary of State John Kerry to begin a six-month review of the designation that is required to delist Cuba. Officials refuse to pre-judge the outcome of the review but acknowledge that the White House would not have ordered it without an eye on lifting the designation.
Cuba is also subject to sanctions under the Trading With the Enemy Act, the Helms-Burton Act and other legislation, all of which would require congressional approval to repeal but not necessarily to ease.
EASING SANCTIONS SHORT OF ENDING THE EMBARGO:
Don't rush to Cuba to pick up cigars and rum just yet. The easing of trade, travel and currency restrictions announced on Wednesday will not take effect until the Commerce and Treasury Departments revise the regulations and publish the revisions in the Federal Register. That could take weeks, at least.
The administration says rules on visits to Cuba by Americans will be liberalized to allow for travel in categories that have in the past required special licenses from Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control. Those categories include: family visits, official U.S. or foreign government business, journalism, research and professional meetings, educational and religious activities, performances, workshops, competitions and expeditions and humanitarian support. Specific licenses will also no longer be required for business related to telecommunications and Internet linkages with Cuba.
In addition, Americans with family in Cuba will now be allowed to send their relatives up to $2,000 every three months, up from $500, and Americans visiting Cuba will be allowed to legally import merchandise bought there with a value of up to $400, including up to $100 in tobacco and alcohol purchases. Those purchases will also be allowed to be made with credit and debit cards issued by U.S. banks.

LAS VEGAS —.
It was not known how many people were on the bus at the time of the shooting, but it appeared that the riders were able to flee. Police have started a hotline seeking to hear what those passengers witnessed. .

I recently launched the 2015 edition of the European Commission’s report on Policy Coherence for Development — or PCD — that shows that the European Union remains a PCD-frontrunner on the international stage, having made good progress over the past two years.
“What is Policy Coherence for Development?” you may ask. In short, it is about taking account of development objectives in all of the EU's policies that are likely to affect developing countries. We have to minimize contradictions and build synergies between different EU policies to benefit developing countries and increase the effectiveness of development cooperation. Policy coherence currently focuses on five strategic areas: trade and finance, food security, climate change, migration and security.
We take this work seriously. Not just because it is an obligation under the Lisbon Treaty, but even more because policy coherence for development matters — for the future of our partner countries and for global sustainable development. In recent years, both the EU institutions and the member states have made great efforts to strengthen procedures, instruments and mechanisms for PCD at all levels.
On trade, which is crucial for economic growth and sustainable development, the EU remains the most open market in the world for developing countries, with total exports from least developed countries to the EU currently worth over 35 billion euros ($37.5 billion) annually. In order to assist developing countries to benefit from this huge trade potential, the EU and its member states also remain the most important aid for trade donor in the world, providing a total of 11.7 billion euros in 2013. Africa is the biggest recipient.
On climate change, in October 2014, the EU agreed to reduce within its own borders greenhouse gas emissions by at least 40 percent compared to 1990 levels by 2030, increase energy efficiency by at least 27 percent and the share of renewable energy to at least 27 percent. In addition to the positive impact of such reductions within Europe, policy coherence on climate change also means that the EU is supporting climate-related actions in developing countries, for example, having recently launched a new phase of the Global Climate Change Alliance — known as GCCA+ — to foster effective dialogue and cooperation on climate change, in particular with least developed countries and small island developing states.
On migration, in 2013, 232 million people were considered international migrants, with almost half living in developing countries. The EU's external migration policy — the Global Approach to Migration and Mobility — helps ensure policy coherence between migration and development policy.
Finally, on peace and security, a new EU Conflict Early Warning System was rolled out globally in September 2014. The system looks at long-term risks for the emergence or escalation of violent conflict and is designed to close the gap between early warning and early action.
These are just a few examples of the progress that has been made on policy coherence. However, that is not to say that we have achieved our goals in this area. I know that more can and should be done. The ongoing migration crisis is one clear example of a challenge for policy coherence in many areas.
Policy coherence for development must also be responsive to the prevailing international environment. In this respect, the recent adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals offers the opportunity for governments, institutions and organizations to examine more comprehensively the ways in which they formulate and implement policies across the board.
For its part, the European Commission has adopted its work program for 2016, with the clear statement that it is “no time for business as usual.” We will bring forward an initiative that will set out a new approach to ensure Europe’s economic growth and social and environmental sustainability beyond the 2020 timeframe, taking into account the Europe 2020 review and the internal and external implementation of the United Nations SDGs.
This is no small task, and it is one in which I will personally seek to ensure that PCD remains one of the guiding principles..

Lexus’ V8-powered IS-F was always a fun, stylish surprise, but it never really lived up to its lofty expectations. Since its 2007 debut, the range-topping IS only sold around 11,000 units, despite Lexus’ ambitions of taking on the BMW M3 and Mercedes C63 AMG.
According to World Car Fans, Lexus is planning on axing the IS-F in favor of the new, M4-fighting RC-F coupe.
The RC-F houses the same aluminum block that anchors the IS-F’s 5.0-liter V8, but from the head gasket up, everything is new. Titanium valves are mated to forged steel connecting rods, and the cylinder heads incorporate variable valve timing on both the intake and exhaust cams.
Its respiratory system has been enhanced as well, allowing for freer breathing and a sharper exhaust note.
Because of these enhancements, output has been bumped from 416 horsepower to ‘over 450 hp,’ according to Lexus. The F-Sport could run from 0 to 60 mph in 4.6 seconds, so the increased power and improved power-to-weight ratio should shave a couple of ticks off that for the RC.
Oddly, Lexus hasn’t really revamped the styling much for the new car. The familiar hourglass-shaped front grill remains, and it is enormous. In fact, Lexus has enlarged it for the new car.
The front air vents and triple-clustered headlights are bigger, the roofline has a gentler slope and the rounded, Viper-like hood are the main differences, but overall it’s a small departure from the F-Sport.
The IS-F was never quite as sexy as its German competitors, which may have been a contributing factor to its slow sales. Consequentially, it’s slightly surprising that Lexus decided to stay the course with the RC-F’s aesthetics.
The RC-F is due to arrive this fall for somewhere around $70,000.

Think you have it bad? Think your first world problems are severe? Well let me tell you about the lives of children in the dusty plains—haha just kidding. We at Digzoo won’t lecture you. Still, if you are feeling a bit down (maybe it’s Monday when you’re reading this but it’s probably not because we can’t control that) then it can sometimes feel good to see other people suffer too. We’re not talking third-degree burns or anything, we’re just saying that that these gifs of people hitting their head and being idiots might cheer you up.
1. Let’s start with a man who has his day go from bad to worse
2. This guy takes adulthood to the next level. Unfortunately, he also takes concussions to the next level too.
3. Well, at least one person will remember their wedding day
4. Smashing the floor you’re standing on isn’t gonna earn you a Nobel Prize any time soon.
5. Pay close attention to this guy’s face. You can see the realisation of his impending doom.
6. Bike meets tree-root; a love story for the ages.
7. A beautiful gif of someone’s terrible day (seriously though, when everyone else is getting out of the way, so should you)
8. Some, uh, some Wile E Coyote level stupid going on here.
Coming down the stairs with his prom date
9. This guy was just trying to help and the world wouldn’t let it go un-punished
10. Cool, cool *BANG* not-so-cool
11. That’s one way to make a special night memorable
Just lie there and ponder your decision buddy.
12. I bet he thought he was gonna land in the nice soft water
WCGW if I ride this giant skateboard over a 6 meter drop
13. This plays out as expected. Still, super fun to watch
14. This guy got off light considering how stupid this whole thing is
15. Here’s another guy who got off light
Just lie there and ponder your decision buddy.
16. One of those moments you’d never want shared (whoops)
Feel the Burn
17. This kid’s gonna remember this day forever
HMJB while I rock
18. “Hey this isn’t so ba—ADHAAHRAHRGH”
"It's not even on."
19. This is why you always ask for help
Cashier: "Sir, would you like that delivered?" Guy: "Nah, I got it"
20. And I thought my commute was rough.
Landing a plane on the road, wCGW?

It’s no secret that riding a street legal dirt bike is awesome. Sure, cars can do wheelies and street bikes can go flying through the woods – but they really shouldn’t. The top reason for titling your dirt bike is to drive it on the road, but there are tons of benefits to having a license plate on your bike.
Why You Need to Title Your Dirt Bike
All bikes are awesome – but there’s something extra special about tearing up the streets on a street legal dirt bike. The best reasons for titling a dirt bike go way beyond having a stunt session during your morning commute… but let’s start there.
Ride on the Streets
It’s awesome to braaap around town on a dirt bike, riding wheelies and hopping curbs and doing all that other stuff we can’t legally condone on a public post. Of course, you’re probably a model citizen anyway… you respect all speed limits, rev only when it’s necessary, and your front wheel never leaves the ground.
Suuuure.
Johnny Law’s job might be to Protect and Serve, but he’s also waiting for you to ride past him without a license plate so he can pull your brappin’ ass over. Riding a dirt bike around town without a tag is asking for trouble, yet there are plenty of people taking that risk every day.
Why risk the impound lot when you could just spend a few hundred bucks to make your dirt bike street legal?
Chances are those people don’t know how cheap and easy it is to plate and title a dirt bike. Ours start at just $299 and have a 100% chance of saving you from costly tickets down the road. Check it out now or bookmark it for later.
How crazy would it be to lose your motorcycle over something as trivial as not having a license plate? It’s all well and good to live in the moment, but riding around without a license plate isn’t worth the risk.
Speaking of thinking long-term… you like money, right?
Higher Resale Value
Smart Money 101 is officially in session.
The best investment you can make in your ride is to make your dirt bike street legal. Unlike bolt-on mods and eBay plastics, by getting your dirt bike titled and plated you’re adding a tangible commodity that everyone wants. The next owner will be thankful you did the work for them – and they’ll gladly pay extra for that convenience.
Remember, most people think it’s hard to title a dirt bike. Lucky for you, you know better.
You know those sellers who list how much they paid for every part? Their Yoshi pipe and AS3 levers? Everyone knows you don’t get your money back out of mods unless you build a seriously sick bike. They’re just hoping to justify their asking price by flexing nuts.
In fact, the best way to save a few bucks on your next bike is to buy one that’s already modified. Let the other guy spend the big bucks on new parts while you pocket the difference.
That’s why the smartest investment in the bike you already own – maybe even doubling its value – is making it street legal.
Don’t believe me? The proof is in the pudding: here are some real-world examples we’ve seen on Craigslist lately.
Honda CRF450X
The mods that make the street legal CRF450X look better don’t cost all that much – yet it’s going for $4500 more than the red one. You could literally buy two of the red one and have enough money left over for a new set of wheels. Such a pity, it would be worth way more if only it had a title.
Kawasaki KX450F
These Kawis both have stellar mods and they both look about the same. We all know selling on Craigslist means starting high, so these bikes would probably sell for $3000 and $2000 respectively. That means a $300 title made the street legal KX450F $1000 more expensive. Sounds like it paid for itself.
Yamaha YZ450F
Check out the list of new parts on that orange bike. It’s practically a brand-new machine ready to tear up the trails or the streets, but there’s a problem. The seller ticked the “clean title” box on the ad, but if you read it isn’t actually street legal!
The street legal YZ450F on the left costs $3000 more even though it’s a year older. I’m telling you, it’s the title!
After reviewing the evidence it’s pretty clear that if you make your dirt bike street legal…
Your Bike Will Practically Sell Itself
Having a titled dirt bike opens you up to an entirely different resale market. We found all those bikes near us in Florida, and you’ll see the same trend regardless of where you live. It stands to reason that a street legal dirt bike is nearly twice as likely to sell because it speaks to two groups of people!
Remember, people don’t know how easy it is to title a dirt bike. They’re willing to pay extra for the convenience of already having it taken care of. Sure, there’s a wait involved in getting a dirt bike titled and plated – but after 4-6 weeks, there’s a license plate on that bike forever.
A Title is Permanent
By titling your dirt bike you’re giving it a permanent improvement, one that could not only pay for itself in resale value but in the number of tickets you won’t get from riding your dirt bike on the road illegally. No matter what happens to your bike, regardless of who you sell it to, a street legal dirt bike will remain street legal for as long as it’s roadworthy.
Getting a Title is Super Easy
We’ve touched on this last reason a few times, but people don’t realize how easy it is to title a dirt bike! So, what are you waiting for?
All those GSXR and ‘Busa riders? What they really want is a street legal dirt bike.

Highlights of Riverdale's 30-28 win over Cookeville Friday. Cecil Joyce
It's apparent that Riverdale's 2017 football team has a never-say-die attitude.
If last week's comeback win over Centennial didn't convince fans, then Friday night's 30-28 victory over Cookeville was the clincher.
The last nine seconds, in particular.
Not only did the Warriors (6-1, 2-1 3-6A) battle back from a 21-10 deficit to previously unbeaten Cookeville but Riverdale completed the comeback with a 56-yard touchdown pass from sophomore quarterback Taylor Yancey to Savion Davis as time expired.
"Coach (Will Kriesky) always says that we're different," said Yancey, who heaved a sideline pass as he was getting hit. The ball was tipped by Cookeville defender Jarquzes Hicks before Davis came up with the deflection and raced toward the end zone with the game-winner.
"We showed that tonight. We never give up."
Riverdale's Savion Davis hauls in a 56-yard TD pass as time expires to give the Warriors a 30-28 win over Cookeville Friday. Cecil Joyce
Riverdale trailed 31-14 in last week's game at Centennial before winning 57-42. On Friday, Riverdale trailed 21-10 before eventually taking the lead, only to give it back up with nine seconds left on an 11-yard TD pass by the Cavaliers (6-1, 2-1).
"We just keep making statements," said Davis, who had 193 yards on 26 carries and two rushing TDs to go with the game-winning play. He surpassed the 1,000-yard mark during the contest.
Every time it appeared Cookeville had control of the game, Riverdale made a big play. Senior Troy Hutson intercepted three passes, including his third of the night in the end zone with the Warriors clinging to a three-point lead.
"We never doubt ourselves," said Hutson. "We just believe we can get it done, no matter what. (I was thinking) a lot (with nine seconds left). The coaches made a great play call.
"I was thinking touchdown as soon as I heard the play call."
Yancey said he can throw the ball as far as "high 50s." Because of the pressure, his toss was well short of that goal, but the result was what the Warriors wanted.
"This was a big step," said Yancey, who stepped in for an injured Christian Souffront (broken leg, out for the year) early in the season. He tossed two TDs on the night. "We're off to a great start. It feels amazing."
The win was huge for future playoff seeding as Riverdale has a firm grasp on at least third place in 3-6A. The Warriors will play Blackman later in the season with second place at stake.
At this point, Warrior opponents have to believe no lead is safe.
"I know that these kids always go hard and never give up," Kriesky said. "We've been working on (the last play) for 10 weeks. The kids executed it."

Expanding the Synthetic Potential of Asymmetric Deprotonation Arylation of Carbanions.код для вставкиСкачать
Highlights DOI: 10.1002/anie.200704539 Carbanion Arylations Expanding the Synthetic Potential of Asymmetric Deprotonation: Arylation of Carbanions Peter OBrien* and Julia L. Bilke arylations · asymmetric synthesis · carbanions · Negishi coupling · transmetalation F or over 15 years, synthetic organic chemists have had access to enantioenriched carbanions derived from N-Boc pyrrolidine 1 (Boc = tert-butoxycarbonyl) and O-alkyl carbamates 2 upon treatment with a chiral base comprising sBuLi and ( )sparteine (Scheme 1).[1, 2] This asymmetric deprotonation Scheme 2. Retrosynthetic strategies to give arylated carbanion equivalents 3 and 4 from 1 and 2. Ar = aryl, R, R’ = alkyl. Scheme 1. Carbamates 1 and 2 that give enantioenriched carbanions upon treatment with sBuLi and ( )-sparteine. Boc = tert-butoxycarbonyl; R, R’ = alkyl. methodology was pioneered by the groups of Hoppe and Beak,[1–3] and has been supplemented by work in which a readily accessible (+)-sparteine surrogate (Scheme 1) was developed.[4] As a result, deprotonation and electrophilic trapping of carbamates 1 and 2 using sBuLi/( )-sparteine or the (+)-sparteine surrogate can produce either enantiomer of the substituted pyrrolidines or protected secondary alcohols. However, the use of these types of reactions in synthesis has been hampered to some extent by the limited range of compatible electrophiles. A number of these limitations have been addressed by the groups of Dieter[5] and Taylor;[6] transmetalation of the organolithium compound to an organocopper reagent (RCu(CN)Li or R2CuLi·LiCl) significantly widens the range of electrophilic partners. However, there can be a loss of some enantioselectivity through these transmetalation processes,[5, 7] and until recently it was not possible to arylate enantioenriched carbanions. This Highlight summarizes two rather different ways of directly arylating enantioenriched carbanions generated from N-Boc pyrrolidine 1 and O-alkyl carbamates 2. The methodology facilitates conceptually new disconnections for preparing chiral benzylic amines and alcohols (Scheme 2). Thus, [*] Prof. Dr. P. O’Brien, Dr. J. L. Bilke Department of Chemistry University of York Heslington, York YO10 5DD (UK) Fax: (+ 44) 1904-432-535 E-mail: [email protected] 2734 aryl-substituted pyrrolidines 3 and benzylic alcohols 4 are derived from 1 and 2, respectively. These seemingly counterintuitive disconnections are made possible by either transmetalation to an organozinc reagent (for 3) or the use of organoboron intermediates (for 4), and the absolute stereochemistry is controlled by the sBuLi/( )-sparteine or (+)sparteine-surrogate chiral base. The direct asymmetric arylation of N-Boc pyrrolidine 1 was developed by Campos and co-workers from the Merck Process Group.[8] Their approach uses Beak9s asymmetric deprotonation methodology to give an enantioenriched organolithium which is transmetalated to an organozinc species (either RZnCl, R2Zn, or R3ZnLi) before entering into a palladium-mediated Negishi coupling with an aryl bromide. The optimized reaction conditions are summarized in the example shown in Scheme 3. Thus, N-Boc pyrrolidine 1 was lithiated using sBuLi/( )-sparteine in TBME at 70 8C, then 0.6 equivalents of ZnCl2 were added, and the reaction was warmed to room temperature. Based on the stoichiometry, it is likely that a dialkylzinc reagent was formed, which then reacted with bromobenzene in the presence of 4 mol % of Pd(OAc)2 and 5 mol % of [tBu3PH]BF4 to give the arylated pyrrolidine (R)-5 in 82 % yield and 96:4 e.r. This enantioselective Negishi reaction is notable for several reasons. Although based to some extent on Dieter Scheme 3. Example of the synthesis of an aryl-N-Boc pyrrolidine (Ar = Ph; 5) from 1. TBME = tert-butyl methyl ether. 2008 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2008, 47, 2734 – 2736 Angewandte Chemie and Li9s racemic palladium-catalyzed coupling of lithiated NBoc pyrrolidine with aryl iodides using copper(I) cyanide,[9] the Merck Process Group report the first direct asymmetric arylation of an enantioenriched carbanion. Significantly, the enantioselectivity imparted by the sBuLi/( )-sparteine deprotonation is maintained throughout the whole transmetalation–coupling process. Indeed, Negishi coupling with a less reactive bromopyridine had to be carried out at 60 8C, which indicates that the organozinc reagent is configurationally stable at this temperature. Furthermore, a high yield of the Negishi coupling product is obtained, even though the secondary alkyl ligands on palladium would be expected to undergo facile b-hydride elimination. The conditions presented in Scheme 3 are a comprehensive optimization of both palladium source and ligand. The reaction proceeds smoothly using 1.0, 0.6, or 0.35 equivalents of ZnCl2, suggesting that all types of organozinc reagent (RZnCl, R2Zn or R3ZnLi) are compatible with the Negishi step. This method was found to be general, which is of synthetic importance, and the range of successful examples included electron rich/deficient aryl bromides, ortho-substituted aryl bromides, and heteroaromatic systems (Scheme 4). Even an Scheme 4. Examples and yields of successfully synthesized 2-aryl-NBoc pyrrolidines. X = F, NMe2, CO2Me. unprotected bromoindole was successfully coupled. Reaction of the organozinc reagent with 3-bromopyridine at 60 8C delivered a direct precursor to (R)-nicotine in 60 % yield. For the arylation of enantioenriched carbanions derived from O-alkyl carbamates 2, a completely different strategy has been developed. In this case, the enantioenriched carbanion is trapped to give an organoboron intermediate which undergoes a 1,2-metalate rearrangement to a new organoboron compound and, ultimately, forms an alcohol after oxidative hydrolysis of the carbon boron bond. The 1,2metalate rearrangement of chiral a-chloroboronic esters was pioneered by Matteson,[10] but it was Hoppe et al.[11] and then Kocienski and co-workers[12] who realized that this approach could be combined with the asymmetric deprotonation of Oalkyl carbamates 2. Aggarwal et al.,[13] have further optimized the Hoppe– Kocienski method and extended it to new substrates and reactions, including arylation of carbanions and an attractive iterative approach. An example from Aggarwal and coworkers9 work, which serves to illustrate the method, is shown in Scheme 5. Thus, O-alkyl carbamate 6 was lithiated using sBuLi/( )-sparteine in Et2O at 78 8C and trapped with an appropriate pinacol-derived boronic acid derivative to give Angew. Chem. Int.

As Hoppe had appreciated, boronate 7 is equivalent to a Matteson chiral a-chloroboronic ester and can be induced to undergo 1,2-metalate rearrangement upon refluxing in the presence of MgBr2. The newly formed organoboron adduct was then oxidatively hydrolyzed (NaOH/H2O2) to give alcohol (R)-8 (97:3 e.r.) in 70 % yield. A key feature of this methodology is that the O-alkyl carbamate is effectively deprotected to reveal a free hydroxy group during the transformation. Normally, forcing conditions (LiAlH4/reflux) are necessary to cleave such carbamate protecting groups. A range of O-alkyl carbamates were successfully employed in this process (Scheme 6) and it was Scheme 6. Examples of alcohols that can be formed from O-alkyl carbamates. TBS = tert-butyldimethylsilyl. also shown that trialkylboranes could be used. Furthermore, Aggarwal reported that an iterative approach with ( )sparteine and the (+)-sparteine surrogate could be used to prepare each of the four stereoisomers of a chiral alcohol containing two stereogenic centers, although this did not involve arylation of a carbanion. Prior to Aggarwal9s work, Kocienski et al. had already demonstrated the synthetic potential of this type of 1,2metalate rearrangement with the total synthesis of the tubulin polymerization inhibitor (S)-( )-N-acetylcolchinol.[12] Part of the retrosynthetic analysis is shown in Scheme 7: alcohol (R)9 was used to complete the end-game of the synthesis by an oxidative biaryl coupling and hydroxy activation/SN2 displacement. The key intermediate (R)-9 should now be recognizable as a product of arylation of an O-alkyl carbamate-derived carbanion, and was prepared as outlined in Scheme 8. Asymmetric deprotonation of O-alkyl carbamate 10 followed by electrophilic trapping with a borate ester delivered boronate 11 in 70 % yield. Then, in a separate step, boronate 11 was reacted with the required aryl Grignard reagent to generate boronate 12, which rearranged smoothly to give, after oxidative hydrolysis, alcohol (R)-9 (94:6 e.r.) in 73 % yield (Scheme 8). Alternatively, the required boronate 2008 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim 2735 Highlights Scheme 7. Retrosynthesis of (S)-( )-N-acetylcolchinol from alcohol (R)-9.

R = 3,4,5-(MeO)3C6H2(CH2)2. 12 could be directly accessed in a one-pot procedure along the lines of that shown in Scheme 5 to give a 65 % yield of alcohol (R)-9 (98:2 e.r.). Alcohol (R)-9 was then used to complete an elegant synthesis of (S)-( )-N-acetylcolchinol. This synthesis is a stern test of the asymmetric deprotonation–1,2-metalate rearrangement method, as the O-alkyl carbamate and aryl group are both functionalized. As a final example, work in our group has combined the Hoppe–Kocienski methodology with catalytic asymmetric deprotonation using substoichiometric quantities of ( )sparteine (Scheme 9).[14] Thus, deprotonation of O-alkyl carbamate 13 was achieved using 1.3 equivalents of sBuLi, 0.2 equivalents of ( )-sparteine, and 1.2 equivalents of bispidine to give an organolithium species that was trapped with triisopropyl borate according to Hoppe and co-workers9 Scheme 9. Synthesis of aryl alcohol (R)-15 from alkyl carbamate 13 using only 0.2 equivalents of ( )-sparteine. 2736 original procedure.[11] Transesterification with pinacol then gave boronate 14 (58 % yield). Upon treatment with phenylmagnesium bromide and basic H2O2, boronate 14 was converted into alcohol (R)-15 in 60 % yield and with 87:13 e.r., which is a respectable enantioselectivity given that only 0.2 equivalents of ( )-sparteine was used.[15] This twoligand approach to catalytic asymmetric deprotonation is necessary as ( )-sparteine is not turned over in the absence of a second diamine. In summary, two different ways of directly arylating enantioenriched carbanions generated from N-Boc pyrrolidine 1 and O-alkyl carbamates 2 have been presented. Indeed, with the recent developments in asymmetric deprotonation, either enantiomer of the products can be accessed using substoichiometric amounts of chiral diamines. Furthermore, although this Highlight has focused on the asymmetric arylation of carbanions, transformations that could not previously be achieved, there is much scope for the development of both types of methodology. For the asymmetric deprotonation–Negishi coupling, many other types of coupling partners could be envisaged. With the 1,2-metalate rearrangement method, the scope has already been expanded to include the transfer of non-aryl substituents, which is particularly useful for sterically hindered groups, such as tBu, that could not be introduced by deprotonation trapping. Finally, the methodology summarized herein now appears suitable for application in total synthesis, as demonstrated by Kocienski9s synthesis of (S)-( )-N-acetylcolchinol.

Gas-Phase HostЦGuest Chemistry of Dendritic Viologens and Molecular Tweezers A Remarkably Strong Effect on Dication Stability.код для вставкиСкачать
Angewandte Chemie that are absent in the gas phase. This advantage of the gas phase is particularly beneficial for the analysis of weakly bound complexes, in which the noncovalent bonds have bond energies not much larger than the interactions with their environment in the condensed phase.[1] Although mass spectrometry has often been used as a powerful tool for the analytical characterization of dendrimers,[2] their gas-phase fragmentations have only rarely been studied,[3] and their host?guest chemistry in the gas-phase is to date almost completely unexplored.[4] Viologens substituted with Frchet dendrons[5, 6] (Scheme 1) have a highly electron-deficient, dicationic core.

Ed. 2005, 44, 477 ?480 They are excellent guests for the molecular tweezers 1[7] with its extended aromatic systems.[8] A rather negative electrostatic potential is generated on the concave interior of 1 owing to overlapping p-systems.[9] The positively charged viologens form highly stable complexes with 1 (Ka 9000 m 1 in dichloromethane).[10] The stability of the viologen?tweezers complexes is, however, highly solvent-dependent.[11] Herein, we report the intrinsic properties of the host?guest complexes between tweezers 1 and the viologen derivatives 22+, 32+, and 42+. In view of the positively charged guests, insight into these properties should be gained easily in the gas phase by electrospray ionization Fourier-transform ion-cyclotron-resonance (ESI-FT-ICR) mass spectrometry. Electrospray ionization of 50 mm methanol solutions of viologen 22+(PF6 )2 gives the mass spectrum shown in Figure 1 a. Irrespective of the ionization conditions, no naked 22+ dications were detected in the spectrum. This situation is in line with preliminary BHLYP/TZP density functional (DFT) calculations for the model compound in Scheme 2, which predict the viologen dication to be intrinsically unstable. Upon its transfer into the gas phase, 22+ tends to stabilize itself by 1) formation of singly charged (22+)n(PF6 )2n 1 (n = 1) and doubly charged (22+)n(PF6 )2n 2 (n > 1) clusters in which the anions counterbalance the DOI: 10.1002/anie.200461872 2005 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

The processes (3) and (4) lead to overlapping isotope patterns which can easily be separated by the high resolving power of the FT-ICR instrument (Figure 1 c, left). These results already point to the 478 2005 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim importance of the environment: Owing to the presence of counterions, 22+ is stable in solution, but is not observed as a naked dication in the gas phase because of strong intramolecular charge-repulsion effects. Upon addition of one equivalent of tweezers 1 to the solution of 22+(PF6 )2, the spectrum changes dramatically (Figure 1 b):[12] Instead of any cluster ions, a tweezers? viologen complex is detected at m/z 1407 confirming the 1:1 stoichiometry in solution. Loss of a [C6H5CH2]+?[PF6] ion pair gives rise to a signal at m/z 1059. In addition, a rather intense signal for doubly charged 22+�with an isotope pattern spacing of Dm = 0.5 Da is observed at m/z 631. Complex formation with the tweezers significantly stabilizes the dication through charge-transfer interactions that dissipate the charge and diminish charge repulsion sufficiently to prevent the fragmentation of 22+. Significantly different behavior was encountered for the dendritic viologens 32+(PF6 )2 and 42+(PF6 )2 : Under the mildest possible ionization conditions the naked dication of the first generation (G1) viologen 32+ could be generated with some difficulties; the formation of naked 42+ was achieved easily even under somewhat harder conditions (Figure 1 e, left). Evidently, a trend towards higher dication stability with increasing dendron size exists. Both compounds formed abundant doubly charged complexes with tweezers 1 (Figure 1 e, right). For an analysis of its fragmentation behavior, monoisotopic 22+�was isolated in the FT-ICR cell and subjected to collisions with argon as the collision gas (Figure 2 a).[13] Owing to the intrinsic instability of 22+, this dication is not observed as fragmentation product. Instead, one zero generation (G0)benzyl ion (m/z 203) is expelled giving rise to a singly charged tweezers?bipyridinium ion complex with m/z 1059 which subsequently fragments through loss of the tweezers to yield the bipyridinium ion with m/z 359 (for the structural formula of this ion, see Figure 1 a). As a mechanistic alternative, the two ions with m/z 203 and 359 could be formed by tweezers loss, immediately followed by decomposition of the resulting instable 22+ ion. However, a double-resonance experiment (Figure 2 b), in which the intermediate with m/z 1059?and with it, all the subsequent fragments?is constantly expelled from the FT-ICR cell during the whole experiment, provides evidence that the latter fragmentation pathway does not play a major role. The intensity of the signal at m/z 359 almost vanishes in this experiment, which indicates that the corresponding ion is thus formed predominantly from 22+�through the upper pathway in Scheme 3. The same behavior is observed for G1-substituted 32+� The only difference is that the G1-benzyl cation undergoes further consecutive fragmentations giving rise to the 2-naphthylmethyl ion (m/ z 141). This type of fragmentation pattern is observed as well for naked 32+. This reactivity pattern?first loss of a benzyl cation followed by dissociation of the remaining complex?is completely reversed for 42+�to a tweezers loss with subsequent decomposition of the dicationic viologen. Upon collisional activation of 42+� an intense signal for the naked 42+ dication is observed at m/z 1005, while the product of the loss of a second generation (G2) benzyl cation (signal Angew. Chem.

Tweezers loss is the major fragmentation pathway giving rise to dicationic 42+ at m/z 1005. The structures on the right show the fragments by which dendritic benzyl cations can give 2-naphthylmethyl ions at m/ z 141 without the formation of the benzyl cation itself rather than the complete G1 and G2 dendritic wedges. expected at m/z 1783) is not seen at all. Consecutive fragmentations of 42+ can be identified at m/z 1083 and 141 and are in agreement with those found in the same experiment with independently generated naked 42+. This remarkable change in reactivity can be traced back to the stabilizing effect of the larger dendrons on the dication. While the dication becomes more stable with larger dendritic substituents, its binding energy to tweezers 1 is reduced. Consequently, these experiments nicely uncover a remarkable effect of the dendritic substituents on the host?guest chemistry of the viologen?tweezers complexes studied. Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2005, 44, 477 ?480 In conclusion, we have shown 1) tweezers 1 forms stable 1:1 complexes with dendritic viologens 22+?42+ in the gas phase. 2) Tweezers 1 significantly stabilizes dicationic guests, which are unstable (22+) or hardly stable (32+) as isolated dications in the gas phase, most likely through charge-transfer interactions. 3) The dendritic substituents have a surprisingly large influence on the fragmentation pattern of the tweezers complexes of viologen dications 22+?42+. The fragmentation pattern changes completely from the G0 and G1 to the G2 dendrimers. Evidently, dendritic substituents of increasing size at the viologen core provide increasing stability of the naked dication. This finding can be explained by force-field calculations (Figure 3). The G2 dendron is calculated to completely embrace the viologen dication by back folding[14] of the dendritic ?arms? leading to an ?intramolecular solvation? and hence to a stabilization of the viologen core. The viologen core is, however, calculated to be less efficiently or entirely not embraced by folding of the G1 and G0 dendrons, respectively, which results in the instability observed for 22+ and 32+. These studies not only provide insight into the host?guest chemistry of dendrimers and the influences of dendron size as Figure 3.

is a massive adoption of the Microsoft Azure platform across the world. Some enterprises/customers have been using it since its inception and have grown their products, services based on the platform over a period of time. There is also a large number of audiences for whom Azure is new and some of them have migrated to Azure from a different cloud platform like AWS (Amazon), Digital Ocean, IBM Blue Mix etc.
This article gives an overview of the end-to-end services that allow small customers as well as large enterprise to move their workloads on Azure smoothly. It also provides best practices to keep costs in control and ensure highly available scalable deployments..
Case Study
A mid-size Foo Solutions Ltd. has recently moved into Cloud Business and Solutions.
Their team has started offering managed services and consulting to their customers and are offering help to move on to Azure from any other cloud service.
A challenge in front of them is, their customers are demanding high availability solutions on Azure. Unfortunately, Foo Solutions Ltd. is relatively new in the cloud business, they rather have more expertise on traditional hosting platforms. So they are missing out on some basic Azure best practices, availability, security and monitoring guidance.
This article aims at providing Foo Solutions some best practices so that they can address their customers’ needs and add more value to their managed services.
Here are some commonly acknowledged design considerations while building Azure based applications.
Now let us also state the very common workloads we usually see on Azure (more on the Microsoft stack but some of them can be part of Linux/open source ecosystem as well)
Note: Although “Storage” is a common component, since we are discussing more from a cost sensitive and rapid/robust deployment point of view, hence will not consider storage here.
Before we start discussing the above points, let us quickly understand the nature and types of Azure Subscriptions.
There are various types of Azure Subscriptions available today. Each one has its own benefits and limitations.
Let us go through the commonly used Azure Subscriptions:
1. Enterprise Agreement (EA) – This is normally purchased by large enterprise customers where they give commitment for consumption of certain amount. Microsoft then adds a couple of value-add benefits on top of it, depending on type of customer, nature of business, country, region and policies.
2. Pay as you go – This is very commonly used by small startups, individuals as well as large enterprises. This is purely based on consumption and there is no pre-commitment for consumption. The amount is chargeable solely on the basis of actual consumption.
3. MSDN – This option is available if you are a MSDN subscriber and it comes with limited credit. Usually it is not used for deploying production workloads.
4. Cloud Solution Partner (CSP) – The Cloud Solution Partner is a newly launched program where one can get an Azure subscription from an authorized CSP qualified by Microsoft in that particular region. Pricing, Terms and conditions are different than that of Enterprise Agreement (EA).
One very common definition of “High Availability” is “Always available i.e. 24x7”.
When we say so, there are a couple of perceptions and misunderstandings that gets attached to this term. Most of the time, people fail to understand the responsibility aspect when they build High availability solutions. It is generally assumed that Microsoft is solely responsible for High availability which is obviously wrong to assume.
We will now see how we can achieve “High Availability” in Microsoft Azure.
While going for High Availability / Highly Available solutions, you first need to understand which bucket does your solution fall in - Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) or Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS).
Sometimes it might be a mixed solution as well.
While building high availability solutions, you need to ask two questions before designing your application:
1. What is the amount of downtime acceptable for a particular deployment?
2. If deployed resources/environment is down, then what happens next and what is the roadmap or action plan post this crisis?
Virtual Machines (VM) are the core of Azure IaaS Services along with allied offerings of Virtual Networks (VNETs) and related connectivity patterns like P2S, S2S and Express Route.
There is a common perception that we always need high power CPU and large memory machines for better performance and availability. It does makes response time faster and reduces the need of any additional machine or load balancing.
However, in Microsoft Azure or for any cloud platform for that matter, there is always a possibility that VM can go down or is not available due to planned/unplanned maintenance.
Here are some very common issues due to which VM might not be available and an application on VM can have downtime or in some cases it is available, but not accessible or reachable.
Availability Sets allows you to put 2 or more virtual machines (usually with similar configuration). There can be maximum 100 VMs in an individual availability set. When you put your Virtual Machines (VMs) in availability set, you are bound to get availability around 99.95% as per the Microsoft’s standard SLAs. Each of the machine is associated with Fault and Update Domain.
Let’s understand what Fault Domain is and what Update Domain is.
Fault Domain – Failure due to Network/Power/Hardware Issues causing your VMs down/inaccessible.
Update Domain – Guest VMs undergoes a planned/unplanned maintenance to update the patch of Guest VMs/Service Fabric bringing down your VMs.
Availability Sets addresses these issues with the help of Load Balancer. Load Balancers distribute the traffic and enables to keep minimum one instance active during plan/unplanned maintenance activities or failures.
This is how an availability set looks like:
Here is how its architecture looks like.
It is very simple to test. Once you have installed your application on both VMs, you can shutdown either of the VMs and observe how the request goes to second VM without having any downtime. You can customize the default landing page of your app and put some text in the header like “Running on VM1” or “Running on VM2” just to check if HA is working or not. You can remove the text once test is successful.
Earlier there were no SLA that single instance will not fail. Now since November 2016, Microsoft guarantees that it will be available for 99.9% with premium storage. This is very unique since no other Cloud providers provide such Single Instance SLA.
However single instance SLA and High Availability are two different concepts. Single instance SLA does not mean your solution is highly available. For High Availability, you still need Availability sets. If you need High Availability, then still go for Availability sets.
In the previous section, we talked about the availability of an application hosted on an Azure Infrastructure. But what about applications hosted as Azure PaaS?
In Azure PaaS, the environment is multitenant and High Availability is built-in. Hence no additional configurations or efforts are required similar to what we have in IaaS to configure Availability Sets. Also, High Availability can be achieved using a single instance as Microsoft is responsible to maintain the SLA as a service provider.
One of the common question which majority of customers asks “What happens when entire region goes down?”
Here doing Multi-site deployment can save you during an outage at a particular Data Center.
If you see the above architecture, we can see that we have deployed multiple instances of the application which are scattered across datacenters. Usually we tend to provision it in the same region to overcome latency issues, but if the problem is region wide, then it is good to have it in a nearby region, instead of having it in the same region.
Geo replication of data helps you achieve consistency. There are various data replication strategies available in Azure and you need to choose one based on your needs. The new Traffic manager policy allows you to configure distribution of your workload based on the geography as shown below.
In case of a failover, Traffic Manager will route the traffic to the most immediate available deployment in order to maintain availability and overcome the downtime of the application.
There are also couple of patterns which Microsoft has recommended like “Active-Active”,” Active-Passive” etc. which are based on your data read/write and synchronization strategy. Usually these patterns come up with additional monitoring apps which does the job of probing and ensures which deployments are healthy and which are not.
Thus, you can maintain high availability in the platform-as-a-service kind of deployment strategy.
There are a majority of enterprises having one or the other flavor of SQL Server. It can be Professional or can be Enterprise or even can be Express in some cases.
Now-a-days due to awareness about cloud and data security, enterprises are keen to leverage benefits of the cloud platform and wish to save their infrastructure and maintenance cost.
There are two major SQL offerings in Azure which are SQL PaaS (also widely known by “SQL Azure/Azure SQL”) and SQL IaaS.
Here are some differences which will help you to understand which option is right for you and what you need to know while making a choice between SQL PaaS and SQL IaaS.
Dev/Test Labs is one of Azure’s offerings which enables you to quickly spin up the Dev and Test environment in Azure. It helps to spin up VMs and also allows to store the template as “formulae” and provides reusability of a machine image.
It also helps to install the commonly required software/ tools as “Assets” via package management methodologies like “Chocolatey”. Dev/Test labs allows you to implement RBAC (Role Based Access Control) on your environments and enables you to put the cap/restriction on the new IaaS component provision and puts control on overall deployment as shown below:
These are a unique set of features will allow enterprises to quickly provision the environment and can be integrated well with DevOps and CI/CD pipeline as well. So instead of provisioning single VMs or set of VMs one by one, this is a good quick and scalable option available for rapid infrastructure deployment with tons of good features. We have already covered this service in one of our articles here which you can refer to right away:
Monitoring is one of the core services which most of the time is overlooked by a majority of customers.
The primary reasons are cost, configuration and perceptions about these services. There are plenty of monitoring services available. There are rich logging solutions like Application Insights which gives you minute details about the behavior of your application.
For infrastructure monitoring, Log Analytics (OMS) is one of the very popular service in Azure, followed by a newly available service such as Azure Monitor.
OMS give you deeper monitoring and add-ons to monitor your Active Directory (AD), IIS logs, Networks and even Containers too. It is very easy to configure and use as well.
OMS also helps you with various filters to search logs effectively and also allows to build data source for Power BI (Microsoft’s interactive data visualization BI tool). Alert configuration and triggering mechanism is baked in.
We have already covered Log Analytics (OMS) in one of our articles:
Here is a glimpse of Azure Monitoring services:
Although there are several ways to protect your infrastructure and application, Azure offers another service called “Azure Security Center” which helps customers to understand what is missing and what are the best practices to be applied on their existing infrastructure in order to make it more secure and stable.
Besides monitoring, we also need to know certain best practices for Security, Patches and overall updates. Moreover, there are value-add services and recommendations available to give you an illustrious ROI based on your consumption.
Here is a quick example of how the Security Centre looks like:
On the other hand, there is another service which acts as an advisory for your deployments in your subscription which is known as “Azure Advisor”.
This service not only gives you best practices, but there are categories like “High Availability (HA)”, “Security”, “Performance” and “Cost” too. You can always look at the advisory and implement the suggestions accordingly. It always gives you the best suitable advisory based on your deployments and the way you have provisioned it.
Here is the dashboard for Azure Advisor service:
This comes in handy and you can keep monitoring this service daily.
Azure Monitor, OMS, Security Center and Advisory are all good to have services for your deployed resources, irrespective of the size, nature and count of resources you have in Azure.
At the beginning, we saw various ways to get an Azure Subscription. Azure primarily works on “Pay as you go” model and hence “Cost” is one of the most critical aspect of any Cloud/Azure deliverable, since it is always directly proportional to your consumption cost.
We have already stated few best practices and service in the previous sections which can help you to identify bottlenecks on time, provide ease of configuration and deployment.
However, here is a summary as well as some additional best practices to save cost:
1. Use ARM template instead of Classic for all new Azure deployments
2. Azure DevTest labs can be used for quick infrastructure creation
3. Cost can be saved by using Capping and Restriction
4. Use Automation (In PaaS as well as in IaaS) wherever applicable
5. Use Scaling/VM Scale Set for auto scaling for IaaS deployments
6. Automation in start and shut down of VMs if they are idle for certain amount of time
Some additional value-add best practices in terms of monitoring and security:
1. Use Azure Advisory and Monitor for quick resolutions, recommendations etc.
2. Use OMS/Monitor for monitoring – for deeper monitoring
1. Use Azure Security Center for additional security guidance
2. Applying NSG on the network, VMs etc. – UDR, Inbound/Outbound rules
3. Identify the correct size and type of VMs
4. Futuristic design of VNET and Subnets – Ensure enough IPs are available in case additional VMs need to be provisioned in the specific subnet. One can always create a new subnet but good design can allow to accommodate new deployments rather than creating new one for each.
The above list covers most common scenarios and allows you to save cost by following best practices and getting into deeper interaction with Azure Advisory and Security Center.
There is a significant growth in the Azure platform from the past few years because of the value add services in PaaS and IaaS.
The end-to-end services features allow small customers to large enterprise to move their workload on Azure smoothly. Since there is always a cost associated with any Azure component, it is important to keep it in control and ensure the deployments are highly available, robust, secure and scalable in order to serve/cater end customers, flawlessly.

Hello everyone,
Thought I might just post one of the most important things that springs to mind. Security, now one thing we have noticed in our long history working online, is password security. Of course, lots of people use the same simple password in their accounts for all the most important services.
Therefor, we recommend LastPass. LastPass is a free service that stores and encrypts all passwords you add to it. Call it a ‘digital password vault’, You just have 1 password to access all other passwords. Of course that does sound risky. However, there are benefits:
1. LastPass generates secure, long, complicated passwords for you to use on your sites.
2. One Password to remember.
3. 2FA – Two Factor Authentication, using a password and your phone to login.
Again, please do not use a simple password, such as Name1234!, they are so easy to guess, and also when changing your password regularly, make some considerable changes, not just a 1 character change.
Thanks for reading.

It is summer! Let us all celebrate the light like pagan priestesses frolicking amongst the fireflies, while we wear jasmine scented grass tunics and adorn our brethren with rich emerald moss crests.
It is the season of reverence for nature as the warm air of the outdoors beckons us to bask in the glory of the sun. (Plus, it’s also a good time of year to have a margarita in the afternoon. )
For those of us who don’t live in a permanently hot climate, summer is a really big deal. It almost provokes a manic state of mind because it is such a glaring contrast to the dark coldness of winter. People almost enter into a frenzy trying to appreciate all the nuances summer has to offer.
It may be hard to stay motivated and committed to your yoga practice when all you want to do is be outside, sip mojitos by the beach, or you feel too sweaty already to get even more sweaty. Yet summer is a truly profound period to dive into your yoga because there are unique allowances.
Here are 3 benefits to practicing yoga in summer that we all should honor and take advantage of.
1. An Opportunity To Practice Outside
As modern people, we have very little physical contact with mother earth. We wear shoes, clothes, and often don’t find ourselves rolling around naked in the richness of the soil – unless it was that kind of night. Yet contact with dirt has not only medicinal benefits, but also healing.
Taking your yoga practice outside and drinking the magnetic energy of Gaia through the palms of your hands and soles of your feet is a truly transformative experience.
2. Deeper Flexibility
When it is warmer, we are more limber. Sometimes in the cold winter months, just the thought of a hip opener makes me cringe with discomfort. Yet when heat penetrates the air, it helps loosen up the body and provides an opportunity to go farther into your poses.
You never know what you might find buried behind your heart or tucked beneath your shoulder blades. The supportive balminess of summer will help you discover the emotions you hold on to and have hidden in the abyss of your being.
3. A Chance To See All That Yoga Has Done For You
Most of us are more active in the summer months because there is a greater incentive to be outdoors in the beautiful weather. Sometimes it is easy to forget how much yoga truly does transform your physical self. When faced with those moments where you need to exert yourself, be reminded of how your yoga practice is there to support you.
When I hike mountains and start to feel tired and winded, I then remember to return to my breath where I find a reserve of energy to keep going. So I don’t just mean the physical aspects of newly toned arms or stronger legs, but overall physical health that your yoga practice has helped you to achieve.
What do YOU love most about practicing yoga in the summertime?

Many yoga teachers tell me that they don’t feel comfortable touching their students. A lack of confidence and a lack of understanding about touch can lead to teachers shying away from offering adjustments that could help to deepen their student’s practice.
Still, well-performed adjustments are incredibly beneficial. To help you deepen your skills of adjusting a student in class, here are some of my top tips for making mindful adjustments as a yoga teacher.
1. Always check in with your students each time they come to class.
It’s best not to assume that just because someone has practiced with you for a while, they’ll also be open to your touch in every class. Check in with them and ensure they are willing to receive adjustments.
2. Have intention behind your touch.
When you adjust a student, have a specific goal in mind. What are you trying to help the student accomplish with your touch? Are you taking them deeper into a pose? Helping them refine their alignment? Are you creating awareness of a certain area of the body?
Think about this intention and let it help guide you through your adjustments.
3. Remember that there are different kinds of touch.
Too light of a touch can feel creepy, while too firm of touch can feel like you’re forcing the student and potentially moving them beyond their capability. Find a level of touch that is informative and guides your student but without feeling pushy or aggressive.
Find some willing guinea pigs and practice adjusting them while getting feedback on how the touch feels and directs them in the poses.
4. Adjustments should never be forceful.
The intention of an adjustment is to help and provide information. It isn’t our job as teachers to force students into placement and alignment that their body is unwilling to do on its own. Listen to your students’ feedback as you adjust them.
Let them know that it’s ok to tell you when they have reached their edge.
5. Avoid touching students in places that feel awkward or inappropriate.
This seems like it should not need to be said, but I am often surprised by adjustments I see being done in classes. Stay away from the front of the neck, the armpits, the groin, the glutes and strong touch on any of the joints.
6. Don't make too many adjustments to one student during a group class.
This can make them feel they’re doing things incorrectly and they might become self-conscious. I try to circulate around the room and adjust evenly across the students present.
These tips can help you more confidently adjust your students and help them move more deeply into their practice. You might find it helps build loyalty with your student base as well, since many students appreciate a well-executed adjustment.

The Hammers are keen to secure a marquee signing this summer, and have subsequently identified the Lyon forward and France international as a potential recruit
West Ham are lining up a summer move for Lyon striker Alexandre Lacazette, Goal can confirm.
The Hammers have started talks with Lacazette’s representatives as they attempt to recruit a marquee forward ahead of their move to the Olympic Stadium next season.
Lacazette has scored 89 goals in 228 games for Lyon since making his senior breakthrough in 2010, and has netted 20 times in all competitions this term.
Barcelona have also reportedly taken an interest in the France international, who has been reported to have an asking price of around €35 million, as they attempt to add back-up to the fabled forward trio of Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez.
However, West Ham have been emboldened by initial negotiations with Lacazette’s advisors and there is understood to be a growing confidence in a deal being struck.
Tottenham have also been credited with an interest in the 24-year-old, with Lacazette previously said to prefer a move to a Champions League club.
However, sources have now revealed to Goal that the player’s stance has softened, and the Hammers are hopeful they can secure their man.
Lacazette is understood to have begun English lessons as a potential Premier League move nears, while Lyon have already lined up Toulouse forward Wissam Ben Yedder as a possible replacement.
West Ham’s ambitious owners David Gold and David Sullivan are casting their net far and wide as they attempt to secure forward reinforcements, with the likes of Michy Batshuayi and Daniel Sturridge also linked to the club.
Manager Slaven Bilic is understood to be happy with the squad currently at his disposal, having guided the club to fifth in the table, five points behind the Champions League spots, but is keen to recruit from a position of strength.
Indeed, the Croatian is also eager to sign a right-back this summer.

The Railway Children DVD TV series Black & White
A wonderful trip back to a seven-part children's TV programme of the late 1960s. The black & white filming seems to add a quality that is a little lacking in the two later colour films. The acting may appear a little forced by the two younger children by modern standards, but this is all part of the charm of this now very rare version of E. Nesbit's ever popular tale. One can understand why Jenny Agguter's fine acting has stood the test of time and lead her to play the same part about two years later in the supreme 1970 film. She also played the mother in the latest film version. This is a seven-part TV series. It was produced for short programmes and for children's TV so may have a less dramatic approach to some scenes like the avalanche. It would also have been produced on a much lower budget, but this only shows when comparing with the later films and the complex effects that were used for the avalanche. Filming was done on the famous Keighley and Worth Valley Railway for this version (and for the later films). This and shows the railway in the late 1960's, a view that will not be seen again. The title music was perfect and won many hearts as friends remember it well the moment they hear the it (Greig's Peer Gynt Suites - Symphonic Dances Opus 64 Allegretto grazioso) Although this early BBC TV series version was thought to have been lost, it finally turned up and was made availble on a BBC DVD sadly for only a short time. It is now rare and worth tracking down to add to the two film versions. Charmingly simple and a very happy childhood memory. D. Mills 2008Read full review
The ORIGINAL version of The Railway Children
Most people who buy The Railway Children know what they are buying because they have seen it before. A warm hearted Edwardian story starring Jenny Agutter. However there are TWO versions of the Railway Children and Jenny Agutter appears in BOTH of them. This is the original BBC version with Dinah Sheridan as the mother, Jenny Agutter as the elder daughter and Bernard Cribbins as the Porter. Check the picture of the Video Cover carefully to make sure you get the version you expect. However, both versions are excellent having similar storylines based on the book by Edith Nesbit.

1998
In 1998 the Town of Carrboro became the first community in North Carolina to pass a resolution for a Zero Waste plan.
The Board of Aldermen instructed staff to study and make recommendations on appropriate steps to move toward Zero Waste, such as reducing solid waste, increasing recycling, identifying and attracting businesses that use local waste products as raw materials, and supporting national efforts toward Zero Waste.
The 2002 report titled “Toward Zero Waste: Strategies for Carrboro” offers policy and program recommendations for moving the town toward Zero Waste. The report acknowledges that some of the recommendations may require the commitment of substantial resources over time.
The list of recommended actions (below) is intended for the short-term to lay the foundation for future progress.
Collaborate with Orange County to expand the existing collection, processing, and marketing infrastructure for recycling, and explore the potential for incentives and other targeted business development to recruit recycling-based businesses to the area.
While it does not directly address the Zero Waste resolution, the town’s “Carrboro Vision 2020” includes a section on solid waste. It states that “The town should aim to recycle all solid waste as a ‘No Waste’ community, and should devise strategies to minimize landfill waste.”

In my “Solipsist’s Guide to Comparative Advantage,” I showed how, for all practical purposes, trade actually raises worker productivity. Notice, though, that my example shows the productivity effects of trade if you and I have different absolute advantages: you’re a better farmer, I’m a better steel-worker. What about the case where you’re better at both jobs? Such as:
For convenience, assume again that the wheat:steel price ratio is 1:1.
Then on the solipsistic assumption that I’m merely your tool, trade revises your productivity as follows:
On the opposite assumption that you’re merely my tool, trade revises my productivity thusly:
Putting both perspectives together:
Thanks to comparative advantage, trade allows you to effectively double your steel-making productivity, and allows me to effectively double my wheat-growing productivity. And this is true despite the fact that I have absolutely nothing to teach you.

The problem with comparative advantage arguments of this sort is that they are clearly valid mathematically, but the underlying simple mathematical model hides lots of questionable assumptions.
Therefore, the best answer to these models that are simplified to the point of extreme to make a strong point is to take an extreme real-life example that makes a strong point in the other direction. So, here is my question: why didn’t the majority of horses benefit from comparative advantage when motor transport was invented, but ended up as dog food and glue instead?
The answer, of course, is that when a new party appears that enjoys absolute advantage over you, the comparative advantage says absolutely nothing about your individual position in the new equilibrium. You may be richer, or you may be poorer — perhaps even to the point of falling below subsistence, as happened with most horses several decades ago. Moreover, the comparative advantage argument says nothing about what proportion of people will win, and what lose in the new equilibrium, even if the total wins are necessarily greater than the total losses. One can easily construct examples where arbitrarily large majorities end up as losers.
Now of course, this is not by itself a decisive argument against free trade or anything else. But it is a decisive argument against propagandistic touting of comparative advantage that sneakily suggests that trade tautologically leaves everyone better off. Bryan’s comparative advantage posts contain no arguments that couldn’t also be applied to a horse a century ago, telling him that soon he would be subject to absolute advantage by motor transport, but no worries, comparative advantage will make all parties better off.
(There are many other sneaky assumptions in these simplistic comparative advantage stories that may or may not apply in any particular real-world case. But this problem is probably the simplest one to point out.)

Between this post and the last one, I have never seen so many objections raised to the Law of Comparative Advantage in all my life.
Reading Human Action, I wondered why Mises spent so much time discussing the ins and outs of Ricardo’s law… But I guess I know why now.
It’s obvious to me, but I guess it is less obvious if you come from a slightly different background than I.

How can one party trade for goods that the other party isn’t capable of producing? If in a unit of time I can produce 1 unit of wheat and 2 units of steel, then specialization only allows me to produce 4 units of steel in the same amount of time. You might offer me 10 units of wheat in exchange for 10 units of steel, but I don’t have the productive capacity to fill the order without working 2.5 times as much as you. What if instead of sitting on your hands, you decide to produce 50 units of wheat? After we trade, you’ll have 40 wheat and 10 steel, but I’ll only have the 10 wheat to show for it and I’ll still have to work another 0.5 time to produce my own original demand for 2 steel. I’m simply not capable of fulfilling your demand for steel once you start working as much as me.
Of course, if you value wheat as much as you value steel, then you wouldn’t spend your free time producing that kind of surplus wheat; at some point, you’d probably spend the balance of your time producing your own steel to supplement what you buy from me.
So, going back to a unit time, I can only produce 4 steel, and I’m willing to trade 2 steel for 2 wheat. Since you’re buying steel from me, you may decide to reallocate slightly more of your productive resources to wheat production, so you can produce 12 wheat and 4 steel. After the dust settles, you’re left with 10 wheat and 6 steel. By trading with me, you have one more unit of steel than you would’ve had if you had produced it yourself. Similarly, I have one more unit of wheat than I would’ve had. By engaging in trade, either party is still better off than before, even though you’re short of your ideal preference of 10 wheat and 10 steel.
I suppose what I’m asking is wouldn’t there be some upper limit on the productivity gains from trade?

Vladimir, maybe while the uncompetitive individual is hanging out in the pasture with the horses, he can contemplate why he doesn’t have a comparative advantage in something. Unlike horses, most people have a range of talents that can be utilized for their advantage.
If he is squeezed out of one market, then the resultant productivity gains offer the opportunity to satisfy new demands. Perhaps his comparative advantage is art. With low wheat and steel productivity, the other players couldn’t buy his art if they wanted to. As they become more productive, they can begin to consider buying more luxury goods. Thus, our individual can still benefit if he can successfully compete in this new market. If he still can’t earn a living, then perhaps he should consider taking the time to improve his skillset so as to be able to compete.

Nick,
Remember that after the invention of motor vehicles, horses still had comparative advantage in transport! Any creature that could be put to any imaginable productive use enjoys a comparative advantage in something. The question is, how much can you actually earn by exercising your best comparative advantage? The horse example illustrates the fact that once a party enjoying absolute advantage over you appears on the market, your earning power can fall, and in the most extreme case it can fall arbitrarily low – even though your loss is offset by someone else’s greater gain.
The goal of this example is to show the disingenuous nature of the commonly made comparative advantage arguments, which typically make a strong underhanded implication that regardless of any absolute advantages, everyone has to be better off in the new equilibrium. (This falsity is often even claimed explicitly, although of course Bryan is too careful a thinker to commit such an error.) The number of people who will end up worse off can be anywhere from zero to an arbitrarily large majority, and the comparative advantage argument by itself implies nothing at all about this number – merely that the gains of the winners exceed the losses of the losers.
Note that I’m not arguing for or against any concrete policy in the present context. I am only pointing out that if you want to convince a person that they should support free trade, a valid and honest argument must say, “You’ll be better off because of (1) comparative advantage, and (2) the following reason why you won’t end up as a loser in the new equilibrium: […]“. Arguing only the former part and leaving the latter as an unjustified underhanded implication can be only fallacious or dishonest.
(Plus, as I said earlier, there are also many shaky assumptions that can make even the basic logic of comparative advantage inapplicable in real-world cases. But the problem I pointed out is striking because it is present even if we accept the simple comparative advantage story as an accurate model of reality without any reservations.)

“Unlike horses, most people have a range of talents that can be utilized for their advantage.”
Not when they’ve spent their life following economists’ advice to specialize so much — those other potential talents have never and can no longer materialize (if there’s a critical window like learning a language, too large upfront costs of effort & time like a 10,000-hour apprenticeship, etc.), or they have by now atrophied.
In either case, even if you wanted to switch, will you find an open niche or instead a lot of others who have spent their lives specializing in the tasks you’re now interested in? Likely the latter. So you’ll get shut out there too, or barely scrape by.
It’s odd that libertarians haven’t seen the connection between hyper-specialization and the rise of the welfare state. Specialization makes you fragile to negative shocks (creative destruction, changes in fashion, natural shocks, whatever). Generalization makes you robust to them — unless they all happen at the same time, one shock will ding you a bit, but you still have so much to fall back on.
Thus, in a generalist society no one will feel sorry for you if you can’t find work as a seasonal thresher — you know how to do so many other things, just like everyone else around here, so why should we support you? And perceiving this total lack of sympathy with their pleas, such unfortunate people will not bother agitating to implement such policies.
In a specialized society, others will feel sorry for your bad luck because you have little or nothing to fall back on. And they don’t either, so it’s easy for them to realize “Hey, that could’ve been me” and truly sympathize with your pleas. So, citizens will agitate for and receive “social safety net” policies.
It follows that the more narrowly people specialize, the greater the social safety net programs will grow — both in terms of what areas of life they cover (first education, then old age, then health care, then…) and how big of a cushion they provide in a given area (first a little help with basic nutrition and antibiotics, then operations, then life-long supplies of drugs to combat your obesity and diabetes, then yoga and massages, then…).
This is all straightforward, so the libertarians’ championing of both hyper-specialization and a limited or non-existent welfare state is another case of education making you denser. The liberal and socialist economists are at least consistent — let’s all specialize a lot, but let’s also have a big welfare state to protect against the inevitable fragility that results.

Vladimir,
I’m not sure that horses even have a comparative advantage over motor vehicles in transport. Cars are specifically designed to excel at one thing: transportation. A car can’t easily be used to herd cattle, and we’ll never see a race car win the Kentucky Derby, but they do seem to have an advantage over horses in their ability to get people and their stuff from here to there.
I see your point, though, and I can concede that it’s possible that some subset may be worse off. If a new competitor enjoys both an absolute and comparative advantage over you, then others may be less likely to engage in trade with you, for example. This isn’t necessarily a problem unless your skillset is sufficiently narrow and you can’t easily adapt (e.g., an older person who is very good at making widgets, but is considerably worse at everything else, and will be dead before he sees an offsetting gain from lower prices).
Let’s say we have two players, X & Y, in a market consisting of wheat, steel, and cooking (you’ve gotta eat). X’s productivity is 2 wheat, 1 steel, and 1 cooking; Y’s productivity is 5 wheat, 10 steel, and 1 cooking. X has a comparative advantage in wheat production. If these two engage in trade, then X produces 4 wheat, and Y produces 4 wheat and 12 steel; after trade, X gains 1 steel, and Y gains 1 wheat. (X might decide to specialize in cooking instead; by producing 2 wheat and 2 cooking, then Y can produce 5 wheat and 20 steel, so the potential gains for both are greater given Y’s large opportunity cost for cooking.)
Enter X’s competitor, Z, who can produce 10 wheat, 5 steel, and 2 cooking. He has an absolute and comparative advantage over X in every sector. If he similarly trades with Y, then Z can produce 20 wheat and 2 cooking, while Y can produce 5 wheat and 20 steel. If Z charges 2.5 wheat for his cooking, then after trade both parties have 12.5 wheat, 10 steel, and they’re fed. Again both are better off than before, but what about X? Does this imply that he’s necessarily worse off since Z is better at everything?
If X specializes, then he can produce 3 cooking. Since both Y and Z have high opportunity costs for cooking, by mutual trade they would be able to produce 30 steel and 30 wheat respectively. Once Y and Z trade with each other, they each have 15 wheat and 15 steel before they pay the cook. If X charges 2 wheat and 2 steel, then he’s no worse off than if he had just traded with Y directly! Y and Z would certainly be willing to pay such a low price because 13 wheat and 13 steel a piece is more than they could produce otherwise. In fact, they might even be willing to pay up to 2.5 wheat and 5 steel a piece, so X can potentially earn up to 5 wheat and 10 steel–much more than he could earn by trading in a protectionist market.
I’m sorry that illustration was a little long-winded, but I wanted to show that comparative advantage creates new opportunities that weren’t possible before, so it isn’t the case that comparative advantage necessarily causes some people to be worse off either. In other words, having an unproductive skillset isn’t by itself sufficient to cause you to end up as a loser. Your skillset would have to be so extraordinarily unproductive as to overcome the opportunity costs of your potential trading partners. At some point one may begin to wonder exactly how you managed to get along before.
Though it may well be possible that there are losers under free trade, I’d argue that the conditions under which this would actually occur are sufficiently narrow as to be outliers. Most of us have skills that are also useful in other sectors, so the individual that is exceptionally skilled in one niche and practically unskilled in everything else would be the exception rather than the rule.

Nick,
The problem with your example (and most other simple comparative advantage examples) is that it doesn’t take into account the scenario where Z’s absolute advantage causes the prices of whatever X has to offer, in terms of other goods, to fall drastically, thus leaving him pauperized (even though the total amount of wealth in the world goes up).
In reality, you are capable of doing only certain productive things, and you depend on selling those things to be able to afford other stuff – and a competitor with absolute advantage can cause the prices of everything you have to offer to plummet. Now clearly, some trade is always better than everyone being self-sufficient, and the comparative advantage arguments emphasize this point, but not the more nuanced point that among two different trade scenarios, a switch to a scenario with more free trade can, at least in principle, screw over arbitrarily large numbers of people.
Take this example. An island is inhabited by farmers and fishermen. Everyone needs a loaf of bread and a fish each day to get all the necessary nutrients. The farmers own all the farmland, and the fishermen can only grow tiny amounts of grain in their backyards. At the same time, the fishermen own all the wood supplies for building boats, so that the farmers can only catch a tiny number of fish with primitive sticks. But in his own line of work, everyone produces twice as much bread or fish as the subsistence amount, so trade takes place – one loaf for one fish – and everyone eats happily. Comparative advantage vindicated!
But then suddenly fishermen make contact with a neighboring larger island whose inhabitants have much better land but very little wood for boats, so they’re willing to trade far more bread for fish than the farmers on the first island. Now the fishermen can get two loaves for each fish, and clearly, they have no reason to accept the one for one trade with their local farmers any more. So the outcome is that the farmers from the first island can now afford only half a fish with their daily loaf (or some other combination that is below subsistence), and soon die from starvation or nutrient deficiency. Yet an economist touting comparative advantage would insist that they should look forward to the opening of trade with the larger island!.

Vladimir,
What would prevent the fishermen from hiring the now-unemployed farmers? Just because they own the capital required for fishing doesn’t mean they have to perform the labor themselves.
Suppose a farmer, in his desperation, offers his labor in exchange for one fish and one loaf of bread. Since he can catch two fish a day, he keeps one and gives the other to the fisherman whose boat he’s using. With negligible effort, the fisherman trades the fish for two loaves of bread, and gives one loaf to the farmer as salary (the farmer wouldn’t perform the work any other way). He still needs to eat, but luckily he owns the wood supplies. Once he performs the one-time task of constructing a new boat, he is able to work half as hard for the same results (one fish and one loaf of bread).
He may also decide to work a full day, giving him a fish and three loaves of bread. He can use this profit to hire two more farmers, which gives him two more fish for negligible effort. He only needs to sell one fish to meet his obligation of a loaf of bread a piece to the farmers, so he can keep the other for himself. Now he has enough employees to provide him with a fish and a loaf of bread for negligible effort. Finally he’s free to enjoy leisure time, and he’s able to pursue entirely unproductive pastimes if he wants to.
Certainly there will be some fishermen that are too greedy (and shortsighted?) to agree to such an arrangement, but fortunately it only takes a few fishermen to hire many farmers. Once other fishermen are convinced of the benefits, they’ll want in on the action, and the entrepreneurship continues until the farmers are at full employment and the fishermen can’t hire anyone else if they wanted to.
Even in your example, it’s not clear that some subset of people would necessarily be worse off with more free trade. I can see why they wouldn’t enthusiastically embrace free trade (maybe the farmers actually enjoy their work and, given a choice, would want to farm instead of fish if the end result is the same), but it doesn’t follow that they would definitely be worse off either.
.”
I think both examples are useful for understanding the advantages and potential drawbacks of comparative advantage. In either example, there is the possibility in principle that one set of people would choose not to trade with another set given the entry of a stronger competitor. For instance, if no fisherman hires any farmer, then the farmers lose. However, this outcome only occurs if the fishermen are satisfied with their arrangement with the other island, they lack ambition to improve their lives further, and they lack compassion to help their neighbors in need when it’s well within their ability to do so.
I think such a conclusion conflicts with human nature in two ways: in general people are ambitious enough that they seek to maximize their output with minimal input, and a significant subset of people will do what they can to help those in need once their own needs are taken care of. Examples abound of both ambitious entrepreneurs seeking new opportunities, and of generous benefactors that use their personal surpluses to improve the lot in life of the less fortunate, so I think the burden is probably on the opponent of free trade to justify why such behaviors would have a limited impact under a free trade scenario. In a sense, they have to justify in what plausible world a fisherman would be willing to accept a lower salary and let his neighbor starve, instead of enjoying a higher salary and putting his neighbor to work at the same time!
(Note also that only free trade has the potential to improve everyone’s life, while protectionism doesn’t. Under free trade, though there is a chance that some number of people might be worse off, it’s certainly possible–if not probable–that practically everyone on both islands wins. However, if the first island adopts protectionism to protect domestic farmers, then presumably the people on the second island die with nobody to sell them fish. So, which scenario is better: the one that might leave some people worse off but has the potential to improve everyone’s life, or the one that definitely leaves some people worse off in the name of protecting the interests of a preferred subset?)

Nick,
Yes, of course we can always add additional assumptions to these toy models to make the final conclusion go one way or another. For example, we can assume that by the time a new tree is mature enough to use it for a new boat, the farmer can starve to death many times over, because it takes years, and neither his ability to cash-in (fish-in?) the surplus from his farm nor the wages he can earn working as a servant for the fishermen are sufficient to provide subsistence in the meantime. Or numerous other scenarios that leave a bleak outcome assuming rational self-interested behavior on behalf of all parties, without anyone lacking ambition, foresight, etc.
The point I’m trying to underline is that when you argue what the effects of a particular real-world instance of liberalizing trade or migration will be, and you use a toy model in your argument, you have to justify why your believe that your toy model captures reality – since others may come up with other toy models that suggest very different conclusions. Yet economists often present arguments about comparative advantage as if the toy example was by itself an airtight proof that all will be great.
Moreover, I am aware of various potential and actual benefits of trade, and I’m in general agreement with your arguments why they are likely (though this is by no means the whole story). However, discussions like these usually fail to capture many highly relevant complexities of the real world. In particular, they are usually based on a comparison between perfectly free markets versus markets perfectly free except for some specific trade barriers.
But in reality, it is not so – and even if we accept that a perfectly free market would be ideal, it still doesn’t follow that if we can identify, say, ten different interventionist policies, it follows that eliminating three out of those ten would be beneficial. On the contrary, it might be a disaster, since the negative effect of regulations and interventionist policies is not a monotonous function of their number, and some of them might be canceling the ill effects of others. Failure to understand this is a very common fallacy among libertarians, and I think this applies to at least some instances of trade liberalization too.
Two Things
Oct 8 2010 at 8:27pm
What about Negative Productivity?
For example, thieves may exhibit negative productivity–they destroy more value than they produce.
Bryan Caplan set the premise each player has independent productivities for different goods, e.g., Wheat and Steel. Here I shall replace– without loss of generality– “Wheat” and “Steel” with “Flamenco-Dancing” and “Roof-Repairs”. As before, for simplicity, the price of one unit of each good is $1.
WITHOUT Trade
_______Flamenco-Dancing______Roof-Repairs
You_________1____________________5
Gypsy_______5___________________-5
WITH Trade
_______Flamenco-Dancing______Roof-Repairs
You_________5___________________-1
Gypsy_______5____________________5
As this simple example shows, trade between productive and counter-productive people does not always benefit both.
A more sophisticated model which accounted for elasticities of demand would show that negative-productivity traders can do more damage than this simple model illustrates.

In support of Vladimir, and then some:
Who are these farmers, cooks, fishermen, etc. of the toy models – in real life? They aren’t actually practitioners of specific trades because people can change jobs. They are sectors of the society ranked by a kind of overall productivity. If you are smart, healthy, reliable, industrious, etc., then you are productive. Take these elements away and you are less productive.
When free trade is entered into with impoverished foreigners, whether by importing them in person or just their products, the sectors of the society with whom the newcomers compete see a reduction in the prices (wages) they can charge. Supply and demand. That’s a real reduction in purchasing power that cannot be escaped by retraining, etc. This is true whether the foreigners are engineers or janitors. I live in Southern California, which has an abundant supply of illegal low-end labor at very favorable wages. What do you think are the employment prospects here for the mentally retarded?
In Ricardo terms, when X and Y are trading, the entry of Z into their economy need not be beneficial to both. The only thing for certain is that the total production of X, Y, and Z together increases. I argue that in today’s world, the least capable of my countrymen suffer a real decline in their standard of living when Z of the toy model consists of improverished foreigners.
It is a value judgment whether this outcome is favorable. I don’t like it.

Written by: Naheed Mehta MBE, Senior Advisor-International Affairs at Edelman
Twelve years ago I was in Iraq, having been posted to Baghdad straight after the invasion. I was working for Prime Minister, Tony Blair as his Crisis Manager and dealt with both domestic and overseas situations; covering a vast range of communications issues.
It was still a hostile environment, and during my daily life I became very adept at distinguishing the different sounds of weaponry and military equipment. Knowing when celebratory fire erupted, or when a Rocket Propelled Grenade exploded; and being able to judge the distance of those incessant sounds. This was the backdrop to my life there and although it became the norm I was always mindful of the risks.
However, we do not expect the same thing to happen during peacetime in European cities and that is why the attack in Paris, whilst people were enjoying the start of the weekend, was so shocking.
But was it surprising? Having spent the last decade working at the Foreign Office I would say that these sort of attacks are inevitable. The Charlie Hebdo attack earlier this year was seen by some security analysts as an indicator of things to come. Though the scale and brutality of the Paris attacks were truly appalling. The open borders that the French enjoy allow easy transport of powerful automatic weapons; the type that were used in the attack. The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) quickly claimed responsibility, and President Hollande’s rapid response was to undertake further wave of bombing in Syria five days later.
The on-going Syria conflict has created a huge problem for the West. The Northern Syrian city of Raqqa is ISIL’s base and they have attracted a huge number of foreign fighters from around the globe to their vile terrorist group. Unlike Iraq during war, Syria is relatively accessible and wannabe jihadists have been able to travel both in and out of the region. At the beginning of the conflict Western security agencies quickly identified ‘returnees’ as a major problem and the danger of people who may have fought in Syria coming back to Western countries both radicalised and motivated enough to attack on their home soil.
Although France was the target, it is worth remembering that nearly 20 countries were affected by the massacre in Paris; reflecting the cosmopolitan nature of a thriving city. World leaders and people have globally mourned with France and expressed their outrage. President Hollande has intensified his bombing campaign and is looking for allies to help in the ‘war’ he has declared against ISIL.
The UK is yet to decide what action it will take, but the UN Security Council Resolution agreed last week called on member states to take ‘all necessary measures’ to challenge ISIL. Here in the UK, Prime Minister Cameron has made the case in Parliament for the UKto join Syrian airstrikes. It will eventually come down to a vote that he has to win or we hand a propaganda victory to ISIL. The date for the vote is yet to be set, but he will have a difficult time ahead. The Labour Party have still to confirm whether they will allow their members a free vote, though the leader of the Opposition publicly opposes military action.
Military action is one of the most important decisions any Government can take and in modern times is almost always controversial. What would this action actually look like? The UK is already involved in a bombing campaign in Iraq, targeting ISIL strongholds there. And we are supporting a US-led Coalition bombing ISIL targets in Syria. To simplify the thinking: the plan to increase and intensify the military campaign would prevent ISIL from gaining more territory, and whilst they are busy avoiding bombs they would be unable to plan attacks.
While we focus on Syria, it is worth remembering that ISIL is only one of many terrorist groups around the world. Similar Islamist groups are active in other parts of the Middle East; Africa; South East Asia and beyond. These groups want to create fear and stoke up religious hatred in flourishing cities. Countries that rely on tourism are easy targets; but all countries are finding that they need to increase their security. Europe will always be high on the list for terrorists who want to challenge our freedoms and democracies.
In the wake of Paris several things have happened: Tunis has been attacked again; the US has issued a worldwide travel alert for Americans and Brussels was literally in lock down for four-days. Alongside this, there has been a rise in the number of hate crimes against Muslims. The whole of Europe is on high alert and populations around the world are scared. But does this mean that ISIL are achieving their goals?
The Arabic name for ISIL is Da’esh, which is a play on words and also regarded as an insult, and why the group prefers to be called IS (Islamic State). They want disharmony between Muslims and other religions and people. They hope this will draw disaffected Muslims tired of being abused and harassed to join them.
ISIL like most terrorist groups have their weaknesses and security services around the globe will be looking tactically at what they can do to diminish them. It will take time, but they will be beaten. However, experience shows there will be another group to take their place. But each time they learn, so do we. We need to stay one step ahead and use all the legitimate means available to us to fight them.
We also need to look at the root causes and the reasons why people are attracted to such violent jihadism, particularly those born and raised in the West. We need to support those moderate Muslim voices and help them find a place for their views. Seek out those who want to adapt their religion to the culture of their adopted country. This is the time for greater harmony and understanding. The alternative is just too ghastly.
When Margaret Thatcher’s Government was attacked during the Party Conference in Brighton by the IRA in 1984 they issued a statement saying “Today we [IRA] were unlucky, but remember we only have to be lucky once. You will have to be lucky always.” That still holds today for terrorists, but so does Margaret Thatcher’s response:
“All attempts to defeat democracy by terrorism will fail”.

Computer program promises to revolutionise soil sampling
Scientists in Rothamsted have developed a new computer program to improve the process of sampling soil on contaminated land.The program is designed to prevent land managers from having to collect too many samples, which can be costly, or too few, which may not provide enough information.
Funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council and the Home-Grown Cereals Authority, the research team has no plans for commercialisation yet.
Lead researcher Dr Murray Lark said: "At present our focus is on developing the basic ideas of adaptive sampling through further research. We are also engaged in some discussion with outside organizations about possible applications of the ideas to specific problems.
"We have not, as yet, made any attempt to identify a route to commercialization of the program, but we would certainly be interested in discussing this option, provided that it did not unduly limit our opportunities to do further research in the area."
But there should be plenty of demand for a system to make the soil sampling process more efficient, he added, pointing out that the Government's target for siting 60% of new build on brownfield sites means there will be a need for accurate sampling of contaminated and newly remediated land.

Sharing Best Practice CLIP Workshop
Theme
Developing Middle Management: The Strategic Lifeblood of the Company
Target Group
This workshop is by invitation only and is dedicated to corporate learning and corporate HR practitioners from companies. Free of charge for EFMD member companies and special guests (special guest = ONE free seat to attend ONE workshop for discovery for non-members).
Venue
Gas Natural Fenosa
Universidad Corporativa
Plaça del Gas, 1 pl.11

More Information
Programme
Workshop Objectives
This workshop will look in detail at the revitalisation of middle management as an essential force for a company’s competitive advantage and operational success.
WHY
Raise awareness of the importance of middle managers in optimising operational results
- In large multi-divisional organisations strategic planning remains a priority, perhaps more so than ever. Nevertheless, the company’s key strategic objectives can only be achieved through a substantial strengthening of its middle management potential.
- Middle managers are perfectly positioned within the company to bridge the gap between senior management's strategic intentions and operational realities.
- Higher performance is associated with middle managers being involved in the thinking as well as the doing. On one side, middle manager involvement contributes to greater understanding of and commitment to the strategy. On the other side, the operational knowledge of middle managers leads to better decisions.
WHAT
Ensure strategic alignment, engagement and performance of middle management
- Analyse the issues of segmentation and the different roles played by middle managers
- Examine the coherence between different levels of management from the bottom up and the top down (GNF’s Unique Leadership Model)
- Compare the development strategies and learning methodologies for this target group (including on-the-job learning)
- Discuss how expectations regarding performance, leadership skills and personal development of managers can be raised across the entire middle management population
- Analyse the structural and process re-engineering required to take these performance improvements up to a strategic level across the whole company
HOW
Development of Middle Managers at Gas Natural Fenosa – Savia Program

We’ve talked enough about analyzing signals. It’s now time to talk about the signal’s arch-enemy, noise. Why do I say noise is the signal’s arch enemy? Well it is because noise is the factor that limits the information capacity of the signal. Look what happens to the Shannon limit if the noise is zero:
- If the noise is zero, the S/N will approach infinity
- If S/N approaches infinity, then so does (1+S/N), so does log(1+S/N), and so does
- In other words, the information capacity of the channel approaches infinity
With no noise, the only limiting factor to the information capacity would be how much information you can pump into the system at a time.
Noise is any undesirable electrical energy that falls within the passband of the intended signal. For example in all electronic systems in North America, there is 60 Hz noise due to the nature of the AC power delivered by the electric companies. This can affect an audio system because we can hear 60 Hz signals, therefore 60 Hz falls in the passband of an audio system. The 60 Hz “hum” would not affect a WLAN network because those signals are in the GHz range.
Noise can fall into one of two general categories – correlated noise which only exists when the signal exists and uncorrelated noise which exists whether there is a signal or not. It is good to have an understanding of these different noise sources so that if you are setting up a communication system, you can eliminate, or at least reduce many of the sources of noise.
Uncorrelated Noise
Uncorrelated noise is always present in a system, and it can come from sources external to the system or from devices or circuits inside the system.
External Sources
- Atmospheric Noise – This is commonly called static, and is due to electrical disturbances that occur in the atmosphere. A common source is lightning. This source of noise is relatively insignificant above 30MHz.
- Extraterrestrial Noise – This is noise generated outside of the earth’s atmosphere, and as such, the atmosphere often shields the earth from this type of noise. Satellites can be affected by it though. The two primary sources of this noise are the sun (sun spots and solar flares) and cosmic background noise
- Man-Made Noise – These are noises generated by humankind, and comes from everything from electric motors, to AC circuits, to fluorescent lights, to radio and television stations
Internal Sources
- Thermal Noise – is the noise generated by the thermal agitation of electrons inside an electrical conductor. This kind of noise is sometimes called Brownian Noise (after an early researcher), Johnson Noise (after another researcher), random noise or white noise (because it is due to random movement). Thermal noise is constant across the entire frequency spectrum which makes it a source of noise for any and all systems.
Thermal noise can be predicted mathematically by:
N = noise power in Watts
K = Boltzmann’s Constant:
T = Temperature in Kelvin (to convert Celsius to Kelvin, add 273)
B = the bandwidth in Hertz
- Shot Noise – occurs in semiconductors and is noise generated by random fluctuations in electric current due to the fact that electric current occurs from flow of electrons, and sometimes electrons take different paths as they flow through a semiconductor.
Correlated Noise
Correlated noise is noise that is somehow related to the signal. If there is no signal, there is no correlated noise. This type of noise is produced because of some effect the system has on signals passing through it. A good example of this type of distortion is non-linear amplification which occurs when a signal is amplified but is distorted somehow. The most extreme case is when the amplifier is overdriven and the peaks of the signal get clipped as shown in the circuit below. The input signal is a 10V peak sine wave, but the amplifier circuit is only powered by +/-10V, so the output is clipped:
The output signal is still periodic, but is no longer sinusoidal which means the new signal will have added harmonics. This added non-linearity is called harmonic distortion.
Amplifiers will always create some amount of harmonic distortion in a signal, the situation does not have to be as extreme as the example above.
Noise Calculations
Signal to Noise Ratio (S/N or SNR)
The signal to noise ratio is just what you would expect; it’s the ratio of the signal power to the noise power. It is often expressed in dB.
Example: If the strength of a received signal is 2mW and the noise power is 0.2mW, the SNR is:
Noise Factor (F) and Noise Figure (NF)
Noise factor and noise figure are useful for relating the amount of noise a device or stage of a system adds to a signal going through it. Take this example block diagram:
The amplifier has an input signal and input noise enter into it. Both the signal and the noise get amplified in some manner, and then an amplified output signal and noise are driven out of the system. The amplifier may not affect the signal and the noise in the same manner, so in order to examine the relationship between input and output, we use the noise factor which is simply
Alternatively, we can use the noise figure which is:
If an amplifier is ideal and affects the signal and the noise exactly the same then the noise factor will be 1 and the noise figure will be 0. There is no ideal amplifier or system, therefore noise factor and noise figure give one indication of how non-ideal the amplifier (or other system component) is.
Example
The input signal to an amplifier is 10mW and the noise is
. The output signal is 100mW and the output noise is
{-8}W. What is the noise factor? What is the noise figure?

Ryan Gosling Deserves An Oscar Just For Existing
ICYMI, Ryan Gosling — aka the greatest man on the planet — is nominated for his second Academy Award for his role in "La La Land." His first nomination was for his role in "Half Nelson" back in 2007.
This comes on the heels of his Golden Globes win for Best Actor in a Motion Picture, Comedy or Musical. And as always, he has young, beating hearts everywhere chanting, "Ryan! Ryan! Ryan!"
I have just a few, simple reasons why I think he should win the biggest award a male actor can get, and literally none of them have anything to do with his supreme acting ability.
Here's why Ryan Gosling is the greatest man on the planet and deserves any award, anywhere, for anything.
That time he was photoshopped, obviously.
Not that objectifying people is fine, I am JUST SAYING I can TOTALLY APPRECIATE this scene from "Crazy, Stupid, Love" and all the free sex dreams it gave me.
*Whispers off stage to producer* That's fine, right? I can say "sex dreams?"
Sex dreams.
That time he ruined anything romantic anyone else could ever say.
Ryan seriously stole ALL THE HEARTS in this scene from "The Notebook." It's my favorite love speech of all time.
And actually, can we just talk about "The Notebook" for, like, two quick seconds? It is possibly the greatest love story of all time with award-winning performances by both Gosling and Adams.
And actually... you know what... how can we get in touch with The Academy? Maybe we should just nominate this movie for Best Picture retroactively. Like, what do you guys think?
That time he had an awesome, haunted-themed band with a children's choir.
Swoon my freaking face off. Leave it to Ryan to be insanely multi-talented and somehow work children into the mix as well.
According to Wikipedia, Dead Man's Bones is a rock duo made up of Gosling and his friend, Zach Shields. Their first album is an entire collaboration with the Silverlake Conservatory Children's Choir, which was started by Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist, Flea.
I MEAN, COME ON.
That time he didn't want to eat his cereal.
Google "Ryan Gosling won't eat his cereal." Do it. Do it now.
It's an incredible series of Vines where Ryan is presented with a spoonful of cereal, but he just. does. not. want. it. And we love him more and more every time he pushes that damn spoon away.
Live your truth, Ry.
That time he broke up a fight while just, like, wearing a tank top.
Proving to be an actual knight in shining striped tank top, Ry-Guy took it upon himself to break up a street fight in NYC.
He should probably be rewarded for this, like, publicly. On stage. At an awards ceremony or something.
That time he loved his girlfriend Eva Mendes so freakin' much.
When he took home the Golden Globe for his performance in "La La Land," he dedicated his thank you speech to the love of his life, Eva Mendes, and their two daughters.
I couldn't handle it. Twitter couldn't handle it. No one could handle it. GIVE THIS MAN MORE AWARDS.
That time his viral "Hey girl" meme convinced you he was actually your boyfriend.
Hey. Hey, Ryan. Hey, boy. Ryan... hey. Hello, Ryan. Ryan, HEY... hi. Hi, Ryan... boy. Hi... hello, Boy. Hola, boy. Hola... aloha, Ryan... Ryan, aloha. RYAN!!!! ALOHA!!!! GOD DAMN IT. AHOLA, RYAN!!!!!
Ryan gave us the greatest meme of all time: the "Hey, girl" meme. It empowered women everywhere with his silky face and perfect words.
Now that I think about it, the meme should probably be its own award and have its own award show. Probably on MTV2.
That time he was like, 7, and sang "When A Man Loves A Woman."
TBH, it's a shame he didn't win an Oscar as a fetus. Clearly, he was a talented heartbreaker from day one, and we're all just lucky the internet exists so we don't have to miss a minute of his life.
Make sure you keep watching the above video passed the singing part because there is an AMAZING DANCE OFF TO BEHOLD.
In an interview on "The Graham Norton Show," he elaborates on his expert dancing skills, saying the costume in one of his now-viral dance recitals was his idea.
What a man.
That time he was in a hilarious t-shirt war with Macaulay Culkin.
EVERYONE LOVES A MAN WHO CAN TAKE A JOKE, RIGHT?! GUYS?!
That time he couldn't keep his shit together on "SNL."
In one of "SNL's" most iconic sketches of all time, our beloved Ryan co-starred alongside Kate McKinnon and Cecily Strong to stretch his comedy chops.
He just couldn't hold it together in the sketch, proving, yet again, he's just like so #normal, and #human, and #approachable and #deservesalltheawards.
And of course, that time Rachel McAdams was a bird, so he was a bird.
Need we say more, Academy?!
Congrats on your second Oscar nomination, Ry! We love you. Like, a lot.

Chad Johnson Tweets About 'Bachelor' Contestant Kristina
Monday night's episode of "The Bachelor" was once again filled with tears, goodbyes and Corinne, well, being Corinne.
At this point, Nick Viall is sending women home with the ferocity of a lion going after a wounded gazelle.
Here's a recap of Monday night's episode in case you missed it.
A hopeful "Bachelor" contestant says,
Nick, I'm really falling for you, and I can finally see a future with you.
Nick responds,
Yeah... I'm just not sure about this... I think I can honestly say I have stronger connections with the other women here.
*hopeful "Bachelor" contestant doesn't buy Nick's crap*
*Nick starts crying*
Hopeful "Bachelor" contestant says,
OK.
*Nick offers to walk her out*
This is literally how the last four episodes of "The Bachelor" have played out, and I, for one, am sick of it.
Let's be honest: This season is trash and the only good thing to come from it is the fact Rachel will be the next "Bachelorette."
OK, and Corinne.
However, there was a moment of real, genuine greatness that occurred during the most recent episode of "The Bachelor."
Just before Nick Viall sent Kristina home, everyone's favorite "Bachelorette" villain Chad Johnson tweeted for Nick to "back away" from Kristina.
So what, right? Chad Johnson watches "The Bachelor" like the rest of us. Big deal.
However, it appears Kristina follows Chad Johnson on Twitter, because she saw his tweet and asked him if he was applying to be her "body guard."
Chad Johnson, being the creepy dude he is, tweeted back a reply that made his intentions with Kristina crystal clear.
Yeah, the highlight of this past "Bachelor" episode has to be this cringeworthy Twitter convo between Kristina and Chad Johnson.
This response to the Twitter convo is pretty amazing, too.
If Kristina ends up dating Chad Johnson, I'll puke on myself. Then, I'll find Nick Viall and punch him in the face.
I'm over all of it. I just want to hang out with Corinne and Raquel and eat cheese pasta.

Does iPhone X Come With AirPods? You Might Be Bummed If You Want Wireless Tunes
For techies everywhere, Nov. 3 is like Christmas in November. Apple's iPhone X was finally released today. Some of the newest iPhone X owners opened the box to find out that they weren't getting a certain accessory with their iPhone X purchase. Be prepared to get your wallet back out for wireless tunes because the iPhone X does not come with AirPods.
It's true: AirPods are not included in your purchase of the iPhone X. You're not totally out of luck when it comes to listening to your jams on the go with the iPhone X, though, because you'll still get a new pair of EarPods with your iPhone X purchase. If you're like me and you've referred to EarPods as earbuds your whole life, let me clarify that EarPods are the wired earphones that you're used to getting with your iPhone.
The EarPods that come with the iPhone X have a lightening connector since the headphone jack is no longer available on the iPhone X. You'll also get a lightening to 3.5 mm headphone jack adapter, so you can use any 3.5 mm headphones as well. You definitely won't find yourself with a shortage of ways to listen to your favorite jams.
Of course, if you're into the cordless configuration, then you might want to get yourself some AirPods to go with your new iPhone X. Once you get over the bummer that is the iPhone X not coming with AirPods, you can buy them on Apple's website for $159.
It might seem a little annoying to shell out more cash for the AirPods, but these are more than just your regular earbuds. According to Apple's website, they connect to all of your Apple devices via bluetooth. You can even ask Siri questions without having to touch your phone. All you need to do is double-tap the side of one of the AirPods, and you're set to get directions to the restaurant where you're meeting your pals — you don't want to get lost when you're already running late.
Want the hear the good news if you decide to buy the AirPods? You'll soon be able to charge them wirelessly, along with your iPhone X and Apple Watch, on the AirPower mat, which Apple is releasing in 2018. That's right, you'll be able to charge your devices all in one place, which (coming from someone who regularly trips over at least five cords a day) is a welcome change.
Once again, I know it's tough to swallow another purchase that costs a pretty penny after already paying for the iPhone X, but hey, you don't have to buy the AirPods right away. Remember, you do get a pair of EarPods with your iPhone X purchase. No, it might not be the fully cordless life you're going for, but the holidays are just around the corner. There's no reason you can't put a pair of AirPods on your wish list this year.
Just make sure that you're doing all you can to make the "nice" list. For example, if your sister is bummed that she didn't get in line early enough to snag an iPhone X for herself, you could help cheer her up by sending her the latest Animojis that you've created (you don't need an iPhone X to receive them). Once you've sent a talking puppy Animoji her way, she'll likely be more inlined to check those AirPods off your list come December. Letting her create her own Animoji on your iPhone X next time you hang out couldn't hurt, either.
Check out the entire Gen Why series and other videos on Facebook and the Bustle app across Apple TV, Roku, and Amazon Fire TV.

A Short History of Greek Philosophy /
THE INCOMPLETE SOCRATICS /
ANTISTHENES AND THE CYNICS
II - ANTISTHENES AND THE CYNICS
Aristippus, in his praises of pleasure as the one good for man, remarks that there were some who refused pleasure “from perversity of mind,” taking pleasure, so to speak, in the denial of pleasure. The school of the Cynics made this perverse mood, as Aristippus deemed it, the maxim of their philosophy. As the Cyrenaic school was the school of the rich, the courtly, the self-indulgent, so the Cynic was the school of the poor, the exiles, the ascetics. Each was an extreme expression of a phase of Greek life and thought, though there was this point of union between them, that liberty of a kind was sought by both. The Cyrenaics claimed liberty to please themselves in the choice of their enjoyments; the Cynics sought liberty through denial of enjoyments.
Both, moreover, were cosmopolitan; they mark the decay of the Greek patriotism, which was essentially civic, and the rise of the wider but less intense conception of humanity. Aristippus, in a conversation with Socrates (Xenoph. Memor. II. i.) on the qualifications of those who are fitted to be magistrates, disclaims all desire to hold such a position himself. “There is,” he says, “to my thinking, a middle way, neither of rule nor of slavery, but of freedom, which leads most surely to true happiness. So to avoid all the evils of partisanship and faction I nowhere take upon me the position of a citizen, but in every city remain a sojourner and a stranger.” And in like manner Antisthenes the Cynic, being asked how a man should approach politics, answered, “He will approach it as he will fire, not too near, lest he be burnt; not too far away, lest he starve of cold.” And Diogenes, being asked of what city he was, answered, “I am a citizen of the world.” The Cynic ideal, in fact, was summed up in these four words—wisdom, independence, free speech, liberty.

Flirting is an art. It’s an art because not everyone is careful enough with their words and quick to judge the situation at hand. To be a good flirt one has to cause an impression, but also to catch the other’s imagination. It is a game in which the most confident part has more chances to win.
Flirting made easy
Although men are usually expected to make the first move, the number of women being in this position has changed the flirting scene. Shy men and women who are not approached as often as they would like – or not by the ones they would expect- are among the causes of growing number of flirtatious women.
Now, because of virtual communities, text messages, chat rooms and others, men and women of all ages and personalities have been encouraged to flirt their way to romance. Below you will read some ads from a free newspaper (put together in May/2012). People send a text or email to the paper to have their lines published.
Flirting ads
The section is called: YEH BIG RIDE – strangers on a train …or bus
To the unbelievably gorgeous girl who got the 18.35 train to Greystones on Wednesday evening. She got on at Grand Canal, got off at Sydney Parade. Dressed in black, with red hair and glasses. Please tell me you are single.
A Single, via text
We hope she is single too!
To the cute guy with the beard and black batman hoody in Terenure every day, maybe we can share a laugh some day!
CentraGirl, via text
I’m telling you…some women can be very cheeky…
To the dreamy girl in the red jacket I see on George St every morning, don’t mind the Bradley Cooper lookalike, say hi to me instead – tall, strong, suited Ron Burgundy lookalike! I’m kind of a big deal.
Ronan, via text
I’m kind of a big deal => a line of the main character of the film Anchorman: the legend of Ron Burgundy. He says to the women: ‘I don’t know how to put this, but I’m kind of a big deal’.
To the sexy guy who drives my number 16 bus every morning to George’s Street, I could stare at you all day!
Beauty therapist, via text
Although I wish both all the best, I hope the ‘sexy guy’ will not stare at her while driving…
Smoking-hot blonde who got on the 140 bus towards Dartry on Wednesday at around 4ish – she was sitting with her friend across from me on a relatively empty bus upstairs, wearing skinny blue jeans, pumps and a light lemon top.
Villiers, via e-mail
Great description, by the way! And we, women, think that men do not notice much…
To Big Paul ‘Macker’ the Dart driver, I see you in Bray but not enough. You’re hunky and loud, the way I love my men. Please get back to me.
Sexy Sue, via text
Very straight, huh?
To the pretty woman in the summer dress getting the last train to Kildare on Friday night, I thought I caught you looking at me twice. Each time I looked up, you ducked back behind your seat. Did I look funny or should I have said hello?
Regretful Fool, via e-mail
Liked that! Romantic, funny and no beating around the bush.
Virtual flirting: good or bad?
A guy who sent a text about the section has a point:
What is wrong with this generation? ‘Great guy’ actually talks to his ’Stranger on the train’ and still can’t pick up the courage to ask her out. I blame the likes of Facebook and people doing all their flirting through their keyboard.
Keith, via email
At the end of the section it reads:
Lovestruck? If your love is requited, Metro Herald will put you in contact.**
- What do you think about using technology to flirt?
- Can you share a funny story? Maybe a successful one?
- Any more words, collocations, idioms and fixed expressions?
See you.

Congratulations on this post, Érica. Very different from all the others, and this is what we can call “the real thing”–English in use. Very funny little texts. I’m sure all EE readers will have a great time reading them. Unfortunately, I haven’t got a similar story to share. But I’ll be happy to read the other readers’.
Thanks João. Hopefully the flirtatious guys/girls will share with us some of
their experiences. :-)
Muito boa a reportagem. achei muito interessante, pois moro na Irlanda tambem e todos os dias leio esta coluna de flertes… algumas coisas muito engracadas. Costumo ler todos os dias o Metro Herald, eh possivel se aprender muita coisa.
Hey, Carla. You know exactly what I mean every morning when I
read that column. :-)
Os artigos do EE ficaram ótimos com o botão de impressão!
As vezes vejo um artigo novo e estou de saida pra faculdade ou coisa parecida, então imprimo e vou lendo no ônibus ou em outro lugar que eu esteja. Foi uma de minhas sugestões que o Alessandro atendeu.
Sou desenvolvedor e tenho curiosidade de saber se é o Alessandro que desenvolve o EE, ele é analista de sistemas. Se você ver esse post aqui, tira minha dúvida ai Alessandro, Abraço!
Quando chego aqui no EE, é tão familiar pra mim, é tão aconchegante, que parece que cheguei na minha casa, sentei no sofá e coloco os pés pra cima! É a sensação que eu tenho, que ambiente maravilhoso, me sinto muito a vontade aqui no EE e acho que muitos leitores também tem essa sensação!
Oi Marcos,
Sim, sou Analista de Sistemas e desenvolvo o EE! Fico feliz que você se sinta à vontade aqui no site, foi o nosso objetivo quando estávamos projetando.
Obrigado pelo comentário!
Obrigado pela resposta Alessandro!
Parabéns por ambos os trabalhos, a parte de desenvolvimento e sua iniciativa com o EE. You rock!
Thank you!
Marcos, that was very nice of you. Encouragement is needed. Alessandro has to be praised for all the work with the EE. Not everyone puts love in what they do. :-)
Erica, I really love your posts. You always bring interesting subjects for this blog ! How can someone be so creative ?
Regarding to the question, I think that virtual flirting has become a bad thing nowadays, because people are spending too much time in a computer and it distances everyone. Feelings must be expressed by attitudes, not by Facebooks hints.
Hi Bruno. It’s so good to know that you enjoy reading the posts! I love your encouragement. Thanks for giving your opinion on virtual flirting. I share a very similar view. :-)

A unique vanity number is basically a phone number that spells out a memorable word or phrase.
Vanity number is used to recognize brand names such as 1-800-flowers or 1-800-GoFedEx. With a Vanity number, it makes your business look more legitimate, creative, and marketable.
Plus, it makes it easier for customers to remember, so they are more likely to call you. After all, it can be annoying to look up a number, and slowly type it on the phone. When a customer remembers a number because of it’s creative phrase, they are more likely to dial it on the phone.
If you are a brand new business, and wondering if it’s worth getting a vanity number, then look no further. In this article, we will tell you why it’s important to have a vanity number for your business, and how it will help your business to grow and develop.
Unique Vanity Number Helps in Brand Recognition
If you look up online domains, any business that has a .com website tend to be thriving very well. This is mainly because a domain name makes you look more professional and reliable. If you’d like to rank faster, you may want to go for premium domain names.
Just like a good vanity number, it promotes brand recognition. These numbers make it easier to make connections and association so it’s more convenient to remember. It basically tells the customer who you are. When you learn how to pick the right vanity number, it provides a glance of what your business is all about. Plus it makes you look more trustworthy and reliable.
Wider Range and Marketing Presence
A unique vanity number can put you ahead of your competitors. When you use a toll-free telephone number, it will help your business reach a wider range of customer because of its established presence.
A good vanity number gives an impression that you are an established and incredible business in the market. This gives the opportunity for customers to remember your number and to reach you anytime and without paying a dime. This can be very beneficial in a marketing sense.
Increase Customer Response Rate
When you have a toll-free telephone number that your product or service subscribers can call any time they need help, it makes it easier to remember.
When customers are able to remember your number and make a direct connection to your business, they are more likely to call and you will make a profitable sale.
Another good part is that vanity number offers a real-time tracking report to show you the response rate. Researchers have shown that businesses who use vanity number have an increase of 20 to 40% in response rate.
Unique Vanity Number Gives You Flexibility
When you have a unique toll-free telephone number that your business subscribers can use to contact you when they need instant support, it gives you ultimate flexibility.
One of the good things about having a vanity number is that you are not tied down to one location and your customers won’t be affected by where you are located. Plus, the vanity number can be forwarded to your office or cell phone.
This will provide an excellent customer service experience to your potential client. It makes sense because whenever a customer is located in another area, they are more likely to call you when they see a 1-800 number rather than a number with a specific area code.
Customers Are More Likely to Spread the Word About Your Business
If your phone number is memorable, your customers are more likely to have it ingrained in their brain even after they have purchased your product or service.
In fact, there is an increase in the probability that they will spread the word about your business to their friends and provide them with your vanity number. After all, customers tend to advertise for you if they remember the contact information and detail of the service. This could lead to an efficient and effective marketing avenue for you.
Lots of big-brand companies have been able to boost the rate at which word-of-mouth marketing worked for their business simply by getting a memorable vanity number.
How to Get a Good Vanity Number
The important thing about using a vanity number is to make sure that the numbers you choose are relevant to your business and easy to remember [this is very important].
It should clearly convey what your business is about and the products and services that you are selling.
As much as you can, try to avoid using unique spelling and hybrid numbers because that can confuse your customers.
You can also search for a unique vanity number provider that can provide you with a combination of numbers that can equate to what your business is selling.
Alternatively, you can even look for a vanity number generator near you that can be of help. You can even pre-order your toll-free telephone number, which will secure your desired number for your business.
It can be tricky at first, but once you get the hang of it, you will be able to find the vanity number that best represents your business.
Conclusion
There are so many competitors in the business industry that marketing becomes a big player in the game.
In every part of marketing, using a unique vanity number can play a huge role in your business. In fact, it can make or break your business.
There are various reasons why your business needs a vanity number such as brand recognition, flexibility, credibility, reliability, advertisement, and increasing your response rate. Since the possibilities are endless, it’s important to purchase a vanity number to ensure that your business gets the best form of marketing.

STC Careers Evening and School Fair
2017 Sha Tin College Careers Evening driven by Tony Tse (STC class of 1999) and Mrs. Jane Parry (STC teacher) was a huge success. More than 30 alumni from different fields came back to mentor IB students on their own lessons learnt from their own careers journey. We are a lucky generation to have such great community and support from school, alumni and students. We wish our future generations of Sha Tin College graduates the best in whatever they choose to pursue.
The annual alumni reunion at the fair this year was hosted at the senior school center. Teachers, alumni, family and friends that returned were able to reconnect and catch up. Refreshments and a complete set of explorers (STC school year book) helped people cast their minds back to the old days and reminded ourselves on the times we had in Sha Tin College.
We are beyond lucky to have such great drive and support from our community. We look forward to reconnect with you. Come and join us STC Alumni Association at
