This statistic shows the total number of farms in the United States from 2000 to 2017. In 2000, there were more than 2.16 million farms in the United States. In 2016, the amount of farms in the U.S. decreased to 2,060,000 .
* The farm definition was changed in 1993 to include maple syrup, short rotation woody crops, and places with 5 or more horses. A farm is any establishment from which $1,000 or more of agricultural products were sold or would normally be sold during the year. Includes some accounting for individual farms on reservation land in Arizona and New Mexico from 1998 forward.

Availability, and accessibility of personal and public space represents one of the central concerns of these turbulent times. While an ideal public space should be open and accessible to individuals irrespective of their background or identity, in practice, public space almost always entails limitations and exclusions based on law, public policy and local norms. Similarly, with the increasing ubiquity of surveillance and social media in our lives, availability of personal space (material and ideological) is increasingly becoming a contested domain.
Management plays a central role in maintaining the system of permissions and prohibitions that sustain the particular socially constructed nature of space in an organisation or polity. For example, material and social management of space within organisations leads to unequal distribution of status and power; factors that in turn lead to suboptimal individual and organisational performance. Similarly, as the Black Lives Matter movement highlights, police officials are often responsible for extra surveillance and selective implementation of the law on different minorities hindering their presence in the public space.
Hence, organisational and social spaces are not neutral. Instead, while some modes of expression, identities and bodies are treated as normal – even ideal – others deemed deviant are either denied access or marked for surveillance and subsequent marginalisation and invisibility. At the same time, management and policy can also play a critical role in creating more accessible and inclusive spaces in organisations and society. All this makes space as an important site of governance and management.
This inter-disciplinary conference aims to bring together scholars having different thematic, geographical and methodological expertise to engage with contemporary debates about the governance and management of space in contemporary organisations and polity.
In this theme, we encourage scholars to engage with the debates on management and distribution of (material and ideological) space within contemporary organisations. We are also interested in papers that analyse the difference ways in which organisations can be made more inclusive. We also welcome papers that explore the intersection between personal space and increased surveillance through technological and disciplinary measures in contemporary organisations.
In this theme, we encourage papers that explore the intersections between government, citizens, and the public space. Given the rise of neoliberalism, papers in this theme can also explore increasing commodification and private ownership of public spaces. We also encourage papers that explore the role of bureaucracy in accessibility, management and inclusiveness of public spaces.
Papers included in this theme can focus on investigating how patriarchal governance of space in contemporary organisations and polity lead to privileging the (socially defined) masculine identities and behaviours while marginalising behaviours labelled as non-masculine. The role of management, law and policy in facilitating this process can also be explored.
In addition to gender, other axis of identity (like race, religion, ethnicity, sexuality and socioeconomic status) also influences the nature of organisational and social spaces. In this theme, we welcome papers that explore the intersection between diversity and management of space within contemporary organisations and polity. We are particularly interested in papers and/or case studies that highlight innovative ways of managing space within organisations and society in a more inclusive manner.
With the rise of social media, virtual public space has become an important site of governance, collaboration and democracy. On the flip side, threats of cyber terrorism, hacking, cyber-bullying and identity theft are also on the rise. This makes virtual space as an important site of governance. Papers in this theme should investigate these themes and should also focus on attempts by different governments to facilitate or limit free speech in the virtual sphere.
Organisational and public spaces are also arenas where different stakeholders engage in power and politics to advance their own interests. Papers in this theme can explore the various ways in which space acts as a mediator of power relations and how access and distribution of space can be used to marginalise or empower specific groups.
Our physical and natural environments intersect with personal and social space in important ways. Provision of spaces for public assembly; public transportation and parking facilities; and provision of green technologies for sustainability are some of the ways in which environment and urban management intersect with accessibility and sustainability of public space. In addition to these themes, papers can also explore how the city can be imagined as a larger public space and the different rights of publics to urban spaces.
Scholars like Hannah Arendt and Jürgen Habermas have identified public space as the site of transformational democracy. Others contend that public spaces that can serve as the site of such politics are fast disappearing. Papers in this theme should explore the democratic potential of contemporary public spaces, the reasons for their disappearance and strategies available to the public to create new public spaces.
Formal organisations like educational institutions, hospitals and public malls raise interesting questions related to the nature of public space and their governance. Papers in this theme can explore the different ways in which public policy; management and the profit imperative influence the “publicness” of space and interactions within such organisations.
In this theme, we encourage papers that explore the nature of space in contemporary society. Does it make sense to talk about the public-private distinction when it comes to space? Are we all living in a public space where nothing is private anymore? Is this public space being managed privately or publicly? Is there merit in being nostalgic for public space? Is our mind the only private space available to us? How can we articulate the nature of space different from the public-private distinction in a world where all of us are cyborgs (human-technology hybrids)?
Authors are welcome to explore other themes related to governance, management and democratic potential of public spaces. New themes and panels will be added based on the types of submissions received.
We welcome both empirical and theoretical papers as well case studies that explore the main theme in interesting innovative ways. We especially encourage doctoral students, early career researchers, practitioners and policy makers to submit their work and participate in the conference.

tilted windows. https://www.seemray.com/tilt-and-turn-windows/ . M.Bederov was born in Rostov-on-Don, Russia, in 1974.
Austrian citizens can now be proud of their local community. They neighboring supermarket had taken a great step towards more sustainable and protective future by choosing solar power and other sources of energy for its operations. Solar house systems or solar panel homes are not a big novelty, but a commercial building that is fully operating on renewable and eco-friendly energy may come as a surprise for lots of us. This supermarket doesn’t consume any other energy, coming from sources that are not natural. Or even if it does, the supermarket itself produces more energy than it consumes.
LOVE Architecture, an Austrian architecture company, founded in 1988, that is working in the field of creative urbanism, having its aim at creating real estate that are firm but yet exciting. Therefore their masterpiece can be a great source of pride for them. As now the fully-sustainable supermarket is a reality in Austria. This supermarket is not only a 100 percent self-sufficient, but also produces more energy than it actually uses in daily operations.
It may be an interesting fact, as the supermarket specializes on organic, bio and healthy foods, and on its outside it also walks an environmentally-friendly, ecological, and healthy path. It is equipped with a highly insulated envelope, energy efficient lighting, and solar photovoltaic system, which supply energy to it, mini hydro turbine, green roof surface and non-toxic materials. All of each can easily be recycled at the latest stage of usage or at the end of their useful life. What is more, The Climate Protection Supermarket in Graz city, Austria, also holds a special gold certification from the ÖGNI (Austrian Green Building Council).
This unique Climate Protection Supermarket constructed and designed by LOVE Architecture, which actually doesn’t specialize on solar house systems, is fully self-sufficient in energy production and in fact produces more energy than the store actually uses. Therefore this supermarket is the first of its kind, meaning energy self-sufficient, in Austria. To achieve this extraordinary efficiency, the building itself had to be designed in a special way in order to lessen the energy consumption. Therefore it was designed to minimize heat gain and loss. Solar photovoltaic systems installed to supply energy for the operations receive energy from the sun during the day and convert it into electricity.
If you thought that the innovation stops on the inside, you may be surprised by what this supermarket hides on the outside. The roof features special green roof circles that are used to infiltrate rain water and projection around the building. Do not be surprised, but this supermarket also has a fully equipped parking. It was also maximized to achieve best possible hydrologic balance. Majority of building materials are solvent free, as well as non-toxic, highly sustainable, easily separable and most importantly reusable. A specialized solar photovoltaic power plant is placed in the parking lot, and a hydropower turbine is planned to be installed for additional energy generation. These two systems work closely together in order to generate more sustainable power than the building actually needs and uses, and therefore its excess is fed to the local grid.

Amazing Food, atmosphere and service. I am hooked!
What a delightful discovery! Have driven by a bunch. Finally dined in. Let's start with that fact that I've spent 20 days dining in and around Greece, mostly in Greece. And this place reminds me of the little restaurants you can walk up to any time and eat a good meal! An authentic Greek family owned restaurant that takes pride in their restaurant. Second generation family ownership. The seafood was very good. And the hanger steak was excellent! Family friendly. My little 4yo loves this place! Although they've steered away from authentic Greek cuisine on their menu (apparently, people don't know to order the authentic stuff), what they do make is very, very good. And what's Greek is really comparable to the real deal in Greece. Worth the trek if you're from out of town. My parents live in town, so we plan to visit again soon.
I was really disappointed with pizza i ordered. We have to wait long time.
Golden Irene's has Excellent Greek, Italion and American fare and a wonderful friendly warm and cozy atmosphere with a very attentive staff. The Seafood is always the freshest and cooked to perfection as are all of the menu choices. The specials vary, and may be unique, but most appetizing to the Eye and tothe Palate. It's certainly a place that will deserve future dining experiences.
It is wonderful. Great food. Every single person is happy with their dish every single time we go! Reasonable, delicious. Love the outside patio. In fact, recently celebrated my Mom's 80 the there w/lots of friends and relatives and were thrilled with the food and service.
GREAT FOOD BUT MOST OF ALL PEOPLE.
We go to Golden Irene's quite a bit and have enjoyed every meal we have eaten there. The food is always fresh and a great variety. We always leave with left overs. The staff is wonderful and they are very attentive. If you want a good, home cooked meal go to Golden Irene's; you won't be disappointed.

TP-Link has two inexpensive 8-port switches aimed at the consumer market: the TP-Link TL-SG1008D and TP-Link TL-SG108. If you’re wondering about TP-Link TL-SG1008D vs TP-Link TL-SG108, I can sum it up pretty easily.
Who you’re asking for makes a big difference. If you’re asking for yourself, you probably want the TL-SG108. If you’re asking for a friend, the TL-SG1008D may be worth considering. Read on to see why.
A good way to eliminate dead zones in your house where wifi doesn’t work is to add one or two wireless access points to your setup.
Access points, thankfully, are no longer stupid expensive–they used to cost twice as much as a router in spite of being nothing more than a cut-down router–but almost every access point I’ve looked at has one or more compromises built in. That said, if you want something you can plug in and configure by filling out three or four things, you might be willing to live with those compromises.
I saw this phrase in a job description last week: Troubleshooting at all layers of the OSI model. That sounds a bit intimidating, right?
Maybe at first. But let’s not overcomplicate it. Once you get past the terminology, it’s a logical way to locate and fix problems. Chances are you already do most of this whether you realize it or not. I was already troubleshooting at at least four of the seven layers when I was working as a part-time desktop support technician in college in 1995.

Video marketing 101 provides tips for DIY entrepreneurs to learn what works when it comes to marketing using videos. It is not as easy to create great videos as some might think. There are a lot of things to consider when you are doing video marketing. Keep reading for some useful tricks and tips that will help you promote your business using video marketing.
While we offer professional and affordable video marketing services for small businesses, we realize there are some of you who have some technical skills and would like to give video marketing a go on your own. Video marketing 101 will help you focus your energy on what is working right now with video.
Do not let video marketing intimidate you. A simple camera is all you need in order to make your own videos.
make sure you have optimized your videos for the search engines when you upload them. You must make sure to include any targeted keywords too. You should put in your contact information as well so potential clients can get in touch with you.
Using a screenshot of your web pages in your videos helps viewers to see how your site is designed and help to connect you with your website. Screenshots can also be useful in instructional videos. Just save the screenshot you want and utilize video editing programs to incorporate it into your video.
Video marketing is a great way to show people how to use a product you market.
Working as part of a team is a smart way to develop video content. However, you do not necessarily need to involve colleagues or family members within your videos. Developing your own unique style may just be the thing that makes your video go viral.
Use Youtube, this site provides you with free hosting for your videos and millions of examples of how to create videos yourself.
Add a “call to action” in every video you create. For instance, to get viewers to register for your mailing list, direct them to click through a link in your video description.
Putting a greeting at the beginning of your videos as well as the name of your company also works well.
Make videos to answer the most common questions about your products or services. It also helps to have an FAQ page on your site, but videos are even more dynamic. This gives your users an option on how they wish to receive their information.
Statistics on how your videos are performing are important. Once you’ve collected data from statistics and comments on your videos, create more videos of the ones that perform the best.
When you put up a marketing video, be ready to moderate comments and reviews. If you are short on time, you might consider disabling them.
You need to be yourself when you make a video. People want to see the real you. The more your viewer gets to know you, the more likely they are to develop a relationship with your brand and not with your competitors! Your face will form a positive association between you and your services and help to build trust.
Everyone loves a good story. Do you have some stories to tell about your business or the products you offer? Share footage from events you’ve been involved with. Highlighting your contributions to community events works great for local businesses.
Don’t quit with video marketing because you’re not getting the desired results right away. One way to gain some traction is to ask your audience what they like and don’t like about your videos. Your videos are sure to get better after you learn more about editing and producing them.
You may have wanted to create a video but wasn’t sure because being on the screen makes nervous. Using voice-overs are great to use if you are shy and don’t want to put your face onscreen immediately. You could just show your products and then talk over it. Just record what you’re saying and then put it together with your video footage.
As was stated in the beginning of this article, a good way to improve a business is through the tips you found in this video marketing 101 post; however, this is easier said than done. If you find yourself overwhelmed just contact us and we will be glad to help.

text: Some of this is due to higher prices. Most of the reduction in new development transactions is a result of less new product. New development is grinding to a halt due to the anti-development actions of the former Provincial Government and the City Planning Department. Projects selling currently were approved years ago and are just working through the system. Once these are done there is not much coming. The new norm will be 10,000 – 15,000 new condo sales per year. This is well below what’s needed for expected population growth and demand. We are facing a significant supply shortage issue and likely higher prices in the core. You can thank the government for this problem.

Does Micro-Influencer Marketing Really Work?
We were approached by a large Canadian bank over the summer with a familiar problem – their sources of new leads for their wealth advisors had fallen because mobile banking had reduced the need for their customers to visit their local branches.
They had a broad question for us –could digital channels drive leads for specific target groups?
We didn’t know the answer. So we did what we usually do – which is to roll up our sleeves and do some digging. It soon became apparent to us that spending on influencer marketing was increasing dramatically, and our first reaction was to go for reach – in other words, find influencers with a large number of followers in order to reach as wide an audience as possible.
But then we took a closer look. We found one influencer who was tweeting about 7 different clients within 30 days – vacations, credit cards, lunch meats, smartphone plans – obviously someone who either had a wide variety of interests, or – just liked the cash.
"Micro influencers drove 60% higher engagement, their campaigns were 6.7 times more efficient per engagement than mass influencers, and they created 22.2% more weekly conversations than the average consumer."
So we changed our approach. We found a study from HelloSociety, an agency that connects brands with influencers. (recently acquired by The New York Times) Instead of pursuing reach, HelloSociety had focused on quality engagements, and advocated the use of micro-influencers. In other words, trust, knowledge and a proven track record in a particular vertical was more critical than spray painting the town.
They also had the stats to prove their point. Micro influencers drove 60% higher engagement, their campaigns were 6.7 times more efficient per engagement than mass influencers, and they created 22.2% more weekly conversations than the average consumer.
We dug up some Gartner data that said the same thing. We were sold.
We approached several influencer agencies who had great reputations, had financial services experience, and a wide selection of qualified influencers. But then we got the quotes. This was a test of digital channels for us, not a campaign, and we simply couldn’t afford their fees and production costs.
In fact, each of our influencers, Robin Taub, and Gordon Stein had recently written books about financial planning and budgeting, and they both had the quality we wanted the most, which was trust, pure and simple.
We had already interviewed many of the bank’s wealth advisors, and eventually we were able to narrow down two specific targets groups who were often underserved and overlooked by the major banks and mutual funds. We then combed through the bank’s digital assets and found videos and articles that were directly focused on our two target groups.
The next step was to create our own landing pages using the hand-picked articles and videos we had chosen. We worked closely with the bank to simplify the “book an appointment” process and reduced what was complex down to a single button on our new landing pages.
Finally, because we knew online video drove dramatically higher engagement rates, we sat with Robin and Gordon and had them develop their scripts. Eventually they decided on the conversational style that you see in the video – which of course we also shot, produced and edited with the able help of our go-to videographer, Callum Gillies.
The test kicked off on Monday, October 1st. Together with the bank, we’re going to learn a lot about micro-influencer marketing. And if YOU need a free, no obligation financial plan, we’ve got just the thing – visit www.tdreadynow.com and book an appointment today.

Greetings! We come before you with some very interesting information. In the last few messages, we have given you some idea of what has been happening in this galaxy, as well as of what is expected of you. In this vein, we would like to expand on these subjects and give you some new intelligence. To begin with, let us look at what has transpired during the first part of your adjustments. For the most part, you have been reacting to our spiritual, emotional and physical transformations as we expected. Those Earth humans who have been "awakened" in the past few days have been more curious about their shifts than any previous groups. To us, it is a good sign. It signifies that our concepts about you are very correct. The Angelic Realms view this result as proof that all Beings on your world will be at the proper consciousness level when the right divine time finally arrives. Further, those persons who have been "awake" for at least two to three galactic months are moving ahead at a most wonderful accelerated rate. All in all, we are very pleased with your overall progress.
What has happened to you is that you have been moving across the sub-levels of each step of the Ascension process. This progress means that you are making it very easy for us to synchronize you with Mother Earth’s changes. In addition, you are allowing your inner fears and traumas to come to the fore. This condition has caused a lot of emotional and spiritual energies to emerge on your world. In turn, it has created situations where many relationships and friendships are now being sorely tested. We would like all of you to see this galactic month as an exam that should be easy for you to pass. Just remain focused and committed to doing your daily inner work. This regular regimen will allow you to move through to the next sub-level quickly and with a minimum of difficulty. Remember, you are a most magnificent group of Beings and on the verge of some almost miraculous circumstances. Use this time that is now filled with very drastic spiritual, mental, emotional and physical adjustments to help each other with your difficulties. In unity, there is indeed strength. However, there is much that is currently occurring around you.
Right now, the Galactic Federation mass landing fleets are going through the massive changes in personnel and command structure that were mentioned in previous messages. This change in our operating procedures will permit us to move you through your various Ascension levels more quickly and more smoothly. Many species in the Galactic Federation have acquired special talents that are extremely useful to our work. As you know, the Angelic Realms are in the process of moving your populace to specially-selected levels of the Ascension process. When this chore is completed, your population will closely resemble a very skewed bell curve. The human retinue of spaceship Earth will then be ready for the actual mass Ascension of their consciousness in a new and truly marvelous reality. This operation is a joint galactic endeavor under the leadership of the Spiritual Hierarchy. Full Consciousness is based upon a connection between all spiritual and physical Beings. It is founded upon the twin principles of Love and Compassion. Bear in mind that your shift in consciousness moves a whole galaxy into a new conscious reality.
Let us look at what this really means. All physical reality is really illusory. It only seems real and overwhelming to the uninitiated. Each one of you has been made to believe in the circumstances that surround you by the conformist nature of your childhood. The key element used to teach you was fear. This fear is constantly being employed by the temporal powers-that-be in your world to keep you "in line". What you are now doing is "facing these fears" once again. Your shift in consciousness is a way to get you over these childhood fears and move you into a new reality. You are being changed from the fearful follower to the sovereign manifestor. Your destiny is freedom from want and, most of all, freedom from fear. The immediate result is joy, abundance and a great compassion for each other. This shift in consciousness also leads to a mighty spiritual knowledge — inner wisdom.
This inner wisdom is your impenetrable armor against all who deny you your freedom, and especially, your sovereignty. Look around carefully and view the cause of your fears, as well as the fears of others. You will quickly see that these so-called "fears" are created out of a vast majority belief in their presumed reality. If you unanimously decided in the next ten minutes to abolish them, they would disappear very suddenly. They need you more than you need them. Consciousness should be seen as a connected Light energy. It has no limits and no boundaries. Its vision does not limit itself through fear. These simple truths are now holding you back from your destiny. Our sacred task is to help you to get over this set of imaginary limits. All over this immense galaxy, God has brought forth a great variety of sentient life forms. The Divine Plan has sorely tested our beliefs and led us to new ones. The great Light of Creation transforms all who let it in.
It also ends fears and brings forth Love. Love permits an inner wisdom to blossom and unity to appear before you. Do not fear the dark. Transform it into Light. Let Love come forth and bring its compassion to bear on all who enter the Light. You are mighty Children of the Light who have lost their way in the dark. We are here to give you your flashlights back and to show you the way to the Light. In a nutshell, that simple procedure is what the Ascension process is all about. Along the way, you will meet your galactic sisters and brothers. Honor them as the star nations returned and understand that a cosmic drama is underway. Everyone has played their parts well. The time now draws near to put away your fears and your limitations. We hold no malice toward your governments, only a regret that they do not know us better. All things are relative in this physical illusion, except Love and Compassion. Knowledge of these holy facts leads to the conclusion of your karma cycles. The resultant purity creates the paradise that you all are looking for. And this paradise is your destiny.
So we will now come to the crux of the matter. You are changing and preparing for a most amazing time in your history. It is a time when past, present and future collide. It is a time filled with high significance. What is needed is service, commitment and hard work. The task we ask of you is not to build a great high dam or even to construct a world record skyscraper. All that we ask you to do is to build a new reality. This reality begins in each one of you. The task needs your mutual cooperation and much inner processing. We will assist you with our own brand of reality constructing. Together, we are a team that is unstoppable. We in the Spiritual Hierarchy and the Galactic Federation of Light see you as an incredible but motley crew of Beings. The great experiment in consciousness transformation now approaches its point of great expectations. This "omega point" comes before us like a quickly-approaching mountain. Its majesty is spectacular and its outcome will be stupendous. Before you know it, the post-drama "wrap party" will be upon us.
The key to your continued progress is just to be and to continue to be. What does this mean? It means that you look through your fears and limitations. It means that you dedicate yourself to regaining your inner knowing, as well as your heart-centered intuitive faculties. It means that you overcome your emotional and fear-based ego and replace it with an integrated sovereign personality. Form groups and interact with one another. Help each other and provide places where it is safe to be and to explore this new reality. Give encouragement to the newly "awakened" when they cross your path. Remember always that you are physical Angels with an amnesia problem. Above all, Love and express it with an applied compassion. Look to some of Earth’s great avatars, like Buddha and Christ, for examples of what you could do in any given situation. See this time in your life as one in which you are being vastly transformed, and finally, accept the inevitability of becoming who you really are.

I was just a wee bit disappointed to discover that Abhishek Chaubey's directorial debut film "Ishqiya" was not going to be shown in either of the theatre chains for which I was given gift cards at Christmas. Yes, we're still pretty unemployed around here, so those gift cards are our chances to see films in the cinema right now.
But "Ishqiya", nope, only a very limited run at the cinema specializing in Bollywood cinema.
So we're off to see the film tomorrow night -- and happily, they needed someone to review it over at Bollyspice.com, and since I haven't been able to write a review for them in a while, I'm also happy that it worked out that it'll be me writing the review!
Hi, there, just discovered your blog! It's good fun! I love Vidya, Arshad and Naseer, but even this could not convince me to go see this movie (even though I love that song!) I've heard the movie is a little left of center, so it'll definitely be a Netflix rental for me. The song, however, is beautiful!
Also, I love your unhealthy fascination with David Dhawan/Govinda. I've only seen Govinda in Partner (he was adorable but that movie was blah). I almost watched him in Salaam-e-Ishq but had to turn it off after a half hour because it was just... dragging... on.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the movie! :) Please link to your review once it's published.
The film *is* definitely not mainstream -- and the song doesn't actually appear anywhere in the film. This is a good thing, however, as it really wouldn't have fit anywhere without completely spoiling the mood and tone of the film.
The audience in the theatre the night we went was almost all very young, urban and (not surprisingly) Desi. And they seemed to be enjoying it very much.
Will link to the review once I have a quick moment to blog-- very busy week around here :-) But thanks again for leaving a comment, I really appreciated it!

The legendary strategist Albert Edwards thinks investors are ignoring many latent risks in the stock market.
His "nightmare scenario" combines accelerating wage inflation with a hawkish adjustment to Federal Reserve rate-hike expectations.
Albert Edwards thinks you're all too confident about the durability of the 8-1/2-year bull market. And he'd like to remind you that some major risks are lurking in the shadows, waiting to strike.
He's identified the worst-case scenario for what could cause a massive stock blowout, and it ultimately involves the Federal Reserve raising rates too slowly. But that won't just happen for no reason — Edwards thinks there needs to be a surprising economic jolt.
"The nightmare scenario for equities would be if US wage inflation flickers back to life and investors not only decide that they are too far behind the Fed dots, but they also decide that the Fed itself is behind the tightening curve," the legendary Societe Generale investment strategist and outspoken market bear said in a recent note to clients.
That's right: In an ironic twist, the economy could recover too quickly for the stock market to handle. And shockingly strong wage inflation could be the root cause of the catastrophe.
Edwards noted wage inflation's decline this year, as indicated in the chart below. He points out, however, that US average hourly earnings have jumped, and he suggests that a similar jump in wage inflation could follow.
"Wage inflation has been the dog that didn't bark this year — or indeed the wolf that didn't howl," Edwards said. "High wage inflation data in the months ahead could cause a rapid reappraisal of the pace of Fed rate hikes. At these high equity valuations, that could really scare investors."
Another element of the US macroeconomic picture that could be affected by expectations of quicker Fed tightening is the dollar. Bucking forecasts and staying surprisingly weak for much of 2017, the greenback could be due for a bullish reversal in the event of hawkish expectations. The US dollar index has fallen by more than 7% year-to-date.
That would be bad news for the torrid earnings growth being enjoyed by US companies, since the large multinational corporations with heavy weighting in stock indexes have had exports boosted by a weak currency.
That said, investors have been reluctant to price that potential downside into the market. And Edwards just doesn't understand that. In his mind, current market conditions hold many eerie parallels to those before the 1987 stock market crash.
That most notably includes lofty stock valuations. Major US indexes are near their most extended levels ever, the same as three decades ago. And as in 1987, investors don't seem particularly concerned about it.
Edwards also draws a comparison between modern-day investment methods — volatility targeting, risk parity, and trend-following quant funds — and the 1987-era hedging technique called "portfolio insurance," which is frequently associated with the market crash.
In the end, Edwards acknowledges that his bearish views are largely contrarian. But he also points out that 10 of the 13 postwar Fed tightening cycles have ended in unexpected recessions.
So if you are to keep piling into stocks, and the bottom drops out at some point, don't say Edwards didn't warn you.

The "grbl" dialect is the closest to the "normal" Gcode standard ( NIST ), and is adequate and useful for CNC milling.
However, when the Reprap project created it's own interpreters early in the project, their developers ignored the "normal" Gcode standard and redefined some of the Gcodes to do other things, or kept their meaning but changed the way their parameters work.
Then Smoothie will interpret the G-code you send to it the same way GRBL or LinuxCNC does, as "normal" CNC G-code.

Mortgage bonds typically don’t perform well on days when the Fed speaks. Yesterday was no exception…. Mortgage bonds have lost significant ground following the announcement from the Fed that rates would remain unchanged for now, but that they are now “patiently waiting” until they increase the Fed Funds Rate. The change in verbiage from “significant time” to “patiently waiting” symbolizes to the market that we are getting closer to the day when the Fed moves interest rates higher. It is interpreted that it could now be as early as two Fed meetings away, which puts us some time in the spring of 2015. However, the truth is that inflation is so low that there is still a chance that the Fed will not make a change in 2015 at all. We will have to wait and see.
Between today and yesterday, the stock market has recovered most of their losses of the past couple weeks. It was a huge up day for stocks yesterday and we are seeing a continuation in the markets today. This is painfully creating losses in the bond market, as investors feel the time is right to position themselves for a move higher in interest rates. With the job market showing Olympic level performance, it is difficult to argue that interest rates should be as low as they have been. When you listen to pundits on TV you can sense the anger build up in many that the Fed has failed to make a move yet. However, in spite of a strong job market, there is still an underlying weakness in the economy. The Fed is fearful of making a move too soon that could wipe out the progress that has been made already.
Each day that passes without bonds being able to break above current resistance reduces the chances that bonds will make a break higher. It could be that the interest rates we saw a few days ago will be the lowest we will see in a while. At this point, it’s difficult to say. In the meantime, we are certainly maintaining our locking bias. If bonds show they have the strength to make a run higher, we will reconsider at that time. This risk of floating through this volatility has been too great.

 Sheffield pupil’s artwork unveiled as tribute to those who fell in Battle of the Somme | Sheffield Live!
A fused glass art installation designed by Molly Meleady-Hanley has been unveiled at a war memorial by the Vice Lord-Lieutenant of South Yorkshire and the Lord Mayor of Sheffield. Molly, aged 13, a pupil at Mount St Mary’s College, created the artwork in memory of the pupils and school staff who fought and died in the Battle of the Somme in 1916. The striking tribute was inspired by the centenary of the battle and the forthcoming 175th anniversary of the school. The piece was unveiled in a special ceremony in front of the whole school and invited guests, including the Bishop of Hallam, Ralph Heskett, the Vice Lord-Lieutenant of South Yorkshire, John Holt and the Lord Mayor of Sheffield, Councillor Denise Fox.

Am I ever worthy to receive Jesus; to have Him inside my heart?
because He loves me beyond my understanding.
to fill me with true love, peace and hope.
These are the sentiments, which we prayerfully express in truth just before receiving Holy Communion.
when we call upon the Lord to enter our heart and have mercy on our soul.
but this is what He desires.
He wants us to abide in Him so that he can abide in us and grant us a share in His eternal life.
but please come inside my heart…and take over.

“The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) had conducted a few investigations against the former Sarawak chief minister,” he said in a parliamentary reply today.
“All the investigation findings had been referred to the AGC for further decision,” the de facto law minister added.
“After deliberating the existing evidence, the AGC decided that all the investigation papers involving the issue would be closed in 2013,” he said.
Back in 2013, AGC was helmed by attorney-general Abdul Gani Patail.
Liew was responding to Kelvin Yii (Harapan-Bandar Kuching) who had asked if the MACC would prioritise and start probing Taib for allegations of abuse of power and corruption which have been reported by the foreign media for years.
In May, the leader of Sarawak NGO Movement for Change Sarawak, Francis Paul Siah, had called on newly appointed MACC chief commissioner Mohd Shukri Abdull to reopen the file on Taib.
Siah reminded Mohd Shukri that he had lodged a MACC report against Taib back in March 2011, but seven years had elapsed without a single update on the file.
Earlier this month, Shukri had said that MACC will require new witnesses or evidence to reopen its probe on alleged corruption against Taib.
According to Shukri, 15 separate investigations were initiated against Taib in the past and submitted to the Attorney-General’s Chambers but the latter found that no charges could be pressed against the latter.
Soon after taking office as the prime minister for the second time, Mahathir was seen meeting Taib Mahmud in Kuala Lumpur.
The prime minister had also urged those with evidence of alleged corruption in Sarawak to adduce it.
Taib ruled Sarawak as chief minister from 1981 and 2014, the longest-serving chief executive ever of a Malaysian state.
His tenure was riddled with allegations of corruption, unbridled deforestation and allegations that his family members had extensive business interests in government projects.
GPS won 19 parliamentary seats out of 31 in Sarawak.

. Your quality guide to online sports betting lines and odds.
Sports betting is all about predicting sports results, while you bet on your predicted outcome. Worldwide, people bet billions on sports betting maybe even more than in any other type of gambling game. There are thousands of sites on the internet, that offer sports betting lines and odds and we test them all! We try to offer you the best and most reliable places for sports betting lines and odds. Please note that the legality and general acceptance of sports betting varies from nation to nation.
Sports bets are most commonly placed on the outcome of a single event or game. In virtually all contests, there is a favorite and an underdog.
In order to make wagering more even, the oddsmaker draws up a betting odds line, or the betting odds, such that you can bet on the probability of a competitor's win.
For example, former world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson steps into the boxing ring to square off against "Rocky" star Sylvester Stallone. In this case, Tyson is obviously the favorite and Stallone the underdog.
To win $1 on Tyson, you must wager $9. If he wins, you get $10 back, the $9 you bet plus the $1 you won.
On the other hand, to win $7 on Stallone, you need only wager $1. If Stallone wins, you get $8 back, the $1 you bet plus the $7 you won.
By clicking on either -120 or +240, you are betting on who you think will win the match. To win $1 on Tyson, you must wager $1.20. If he wins, you get $2.20 back, the $1.20 you bet plus the $1 you won. If you bet $1 on Stallone and he wins, you get $3.40 back, the $1 you bet plus the $2.40 you won.
If you click on -3 for New York, they must win by more than 3 points for you to win your bet. If you click on +3 Philadelphia, they may lose by 2 points or win outright for you to win your bet. If the +/- 3 adjustment results in a tie, the wager is push and you will get your money back. Games featuring 1/2 points will never push and will always end as a win or loss.
A single or straight bet is a wager on the outcome of a single event or game. The wager is determined by a Point spread, a Moneyline, a Game Total, a Runline or Puckline. The team or event wagered on must win the game or event either outright or by covering the spread. The payout is determined by the odds posted.
Payouts for a single bet depend on the betting odds given by the house for the bet you have placed. Whether the bet is a moneyline, pointspread, runline or puckline, it's the betting odds that will dictate your payout.
Simply translate the betting odds (represented usually as a moneyline -110, -180, +140 etc.) to the multiplier (the Payoff Price plus one). Then, take the multiplier and multiply this by your bet to find out your Payout or Win (Payoff Price plus your original bet).
The Multi-Singles function is a convenient way for users to enter multiple single bets at one time. Users of this feature will be able to select a number of individual wagers, up to a maximum of 20, select the bet amount to apply to their single bets, and confirm their multiple single wagers with one single click.
Payouts for a single bet depend on the betting lines given by the house for the bet you have placed. Whether the bet is a moneyline, pointspread, runline or puckline, it's the odds that will dictate your payout.
Simply translate the betting lines (represented usually as a moneyline -110, -180, +140 etc.) to the multiplier (the Payoff Price plus one). Then, take the multiplier and multiply this by your bet to find out your Payout or Win (Payoff Price plus your original bet).
When you put a chip on a table in a casino, you have made a wager, a bet. Who "takes" your bet? The "other side" of your wager is the casino itself - the "house." The same is true when you bet in a sports book. Say that you put $22 down that the Giants will cover the spread in Sunday's game. The "house" is on the opposite side of that bet. In poker, the same concept does not apply. The "other side" of a bet at the poker table is "all other players in the pot." This is more like what happens in pari-mutuel betting at a racetrack. The pari-mutuel pool is the same as the "pot" in a poker game. If you win, your winnings come out of the pot in proportion to the bet you made, and you must share that pot with everyone else who won, just as you did. The major difference, of course, is that a poker player can, at any time in the hand, count up the poker pot by inspection and add up the money in his or her head.
Pari-mutuel betting nowadays employs high-tech methods to keep track of all the wagers made. The system reports the "pot odds" in real time, so that the players - the racing fans -- can just check the board to see what their odds are.
Pari-mutuel betting was an innovation that saved racing from almost certain death in the early 1900's. It was a safeguard against two different abuses common at the time: (1) the incorrect statement of betting propositions so that the house or bookie could keep all the edge for itself; and (2) speculation by the house or bookie on the outcomes of races, so that a gross miscalculation might cause funds not to be available for winners or to pay the purses.
The track posts the "track odds" on the "board" (really the big video screens) for each horse, prior to the race. Before a bets have been placed, the initial "track odds" can not reflect betting activity, so they are a prediction by track management on where each horse should start out in the bidding. This is called the "morning line." It stops being important after wagerers come into the picture. Pari-mutuel betting has this unique quality that the odds keep changing as bets are being placed, right up to the bell.
The "track odds" are nothing more than the result of this calculation: A $2 ticket with a possible payoff of $6 (based on the bets already registered) will have "track odds" of 2:1. This is parsed as follows: Of the $6 payoff, $2 goes to reimburse the wager. The $4 profit is twice the value of the ticket, so the payoff is "two-to-one." The implication in terms of the race itself is that the crowd thinks the horse has only one chance in three of winning. This would be a good bet to make if you thought the horse's chances of winning were better than 33%.
Once a bet has been made, and the bettor is sitting in the grandstands or standing on the apron, the question arises, "how much do I stand to win?" A "win pool" is the amount of money going to the winning horse. The "place pool" is shared between the two placing horses, and the "show pool" is divided among the three top finishers. To figure how much a win ticket might yield, take the amount of money in the win pool, subtract the takeout (15% to 20%, depending on the track, see below) and also the total amount bet on the horse to win (as that money is returned to all the winners). Then divide the result by the number of $2 bets on the horse, and add back $2 to represent the bet you made. The answer is an estimate of the payout on a win ticket in terms of a $2 bet. If your ticket is in a higher denomination, multiply the $2 yield accordingly. All the information required is available from the tot board in the infield and on the screens.
The value of a place ticket will be, approximately, the full amount of the "place pool," less the takeout, less the amount bet on the horse in question (as that is returned to the bettors), less the highest amount wagered on some other horse (assuming that horse will win and the funds are returned to those bettors). The result is the profit, which is divided by 2, as two horses share the place pool. Then divide that result by the number of $2 "place bets" on the horse and add back the $2 bet. Adjust for the size of your bet, if higher than $2. A similar approach can be used for a show ticket, subtracting out two horses and dividing the profit by three.
Not all the money collected in bets is paid out to winning bettors. Each dollar bet has to send a few cents to other places, too. This is called the "take out." The takeout will vary from track to track and sometimes from race to race. Generally it sits at around 20% or a little less. The takeout pays for the track operations, the purses, and the government. Yes, most state or local governments find horse racing to be an opportunity for a payday, too. This takeout can be thought of as the "vig" or the "hold."
"Breakage" is the odd cent or two that is rounded off a payout if the calculation is uneven. For example, if a bet of $1 was bet instead of $2 and the horse paid $2.90, a $1 ticket would be worth $1.45. Tracks do not pay out nickels. So the payment will be $1.40. The $.05 is "breakage." Who gets the breakage? A government. Tracks in some states have to deal with breakage to the nearest 1/5 of a dollar, so that $1.50 would break to $1.40. Others have breakage to the nearest dime, so that $1.50 would not have any breakage.
Race tracks must pay at least $2.10 on any horse that shows. (Given breakage, this would be the smallest amount of money that can be paid for a horse that is "in the money." It is also the law.) Sometimes, particularly since off track betting entered the scene, someone may bet a ton of money on a very strong horse to show. This would be as close to a "sure thing" as possible. Even though the horse only pays ten cents net of the bet, it can be a good profit if a lot of money was wagered. It's essentially 5% on a few minutes' effort.
Such bettors are taking advantage of one of the limits of the pari-mutuel system. They are called "show plungers" and sometimes bridge jumpers, and most often, even worse names. This is what happens. The heavy favorite in the race is almost guaranteed to place at least third. But taking into account the takeout, there are more winners than the pot can handle (since only 80% of the pot can go to winners). The track will have to "pony up" to make the pot big enough to reimburse the wagers made in the show pool and still pay a dime on each $2 ticket. Though tracks hate show plungers, the other bettors should not frown. The excessive wagering on the favorite almost certainly makes other horses have higher payouts that the "true odds" would require. Thus, they are bargain bets. Betting against a show plunger (i.e., on other horses to show) is a fairly low risk bet with a high "edge." In more correct racing parlance, the show plunger created nice overlays among the other horses to show.
Futures are single wagers placed on the outcomes of events, which are determined at sometime in the future. For example, a future may involve picking the winner of the NFL championship, the Stanley Cup, or the World Series.
Payouts for a futures bet depend on the betting odds given by the house for each bet you have placed. Usually futures bets are represented by basic, fixed betting odds (although sometimes a moneyline or a multiplier may be featured) with your payout being dictated by those posted betting odds.
To calculate your payout, simply translate the betting odds (a moneyline such as -110, -180, +140 etc., or fixed betting odds such as 3/1) to a multiplier (the Payoff Price plus one). Take the multiplier and multiply this by your bet to determine your Payout or Win Amount (Payoff Price plus your original bet).
Wagers must be on the outcome of a single event or game.
The team wagered on must win the league or tournament.
All wagers have action regardless of relocation or name changes.
For example, betting lines on how many yards Peyton Manning will throw in his next game: less than 100; 101-150; 151-200; 201-250; 251-300 or 300+. There will be posted betting lines for each outcome.
A common entry in Prop Bets is a Field entry. This is a catch-all category for any competitor not specifically listed in the prop, but is competing in the event.
For example, a prop on a PGA event might list betting lines for the best 30 players: Tiger Woods 1/1, David Duval 5/1, etc. As PGA events often have 75 or more competitors, the other 45+ players that do not have betting odds posted individually would be listed indirectly as part of the Field. If any of the players in the Field win, the Field would be declared the winner for wagering purposes.
Payouts for a proposition bet will depend on the betting lines given by the house for each bet you have placed. The type of wager, whether the bet is a moneyline, multiplier, or basic odds, will dictate your payout accordingly.
To calculate a payout, simply translate the betting odds (a moneyline such as -110, -180, +140 etc., or fixed odds such as 3/1) to a multiplier (the Payoff Price plus one). Take the multiplier and multiply this by your bet to determine your Payout or Win Amount (Payoff Price plus your original bet).
A parlay, also known as a combo bet, is a "selection of two or more wagering outcomes". All of the teams wagered on must win for the play to be active. If any one team loses, the entire wager is lost altogether. You may combine different sports, pointspreads and moneylines in win/loss and/or totals betting. If there is no action or cancellation, the parlay reverts to the next lowest number. For example, a 3-team parlay becomes a 2-team parlay. In the event of a tie in a 2-team parlay, the play becomes a straight bet. A "Combo" is the same as a parlay, except this term is used more commonly in soccer. A "Combo" bet is simply more than one selection from the games listed - usually from the soccer leagues. As in a parlay, you need to predict the result after 90 minutes of play (golden goals and overtime goals do not count) of all games that you pick.
Soccer on the moneyline is a three-outcome event, which means that you can pick either of the two teams to win, or you can pick a draw. If you do NOT pick the draw, and the game ends in a tie, then the wager is a loss.
In fixed betting odds bets, the betting odds are fixed at standard odds -110 or 10% juice ($110 bet winning $100). The fixed odds are set according to the chart below and only apply to football and basketball pointspreads or totals. All the picks must have standard betting odds. If any of the picks involve other sports, Moneylines, or off-standard lines (-115, etc.), then the parlay becomes subject to True Odds.
To calculate the true odds payoff, simply convert the moneyline or odds to a multiplier (by going to the calculation table), and then multiply your bet by the product of the multipliers. For example, if you make a $10 parlay on two picks with true odds of -140 converts to 1.71 and odds of +120 converts to 2.20. Therefore, your payout is as follows: 10 x 1.71 x 2.20 = $37.62. Note that this payout includes your original wager, so the net win in this example would be $27.62.
A tie in a parlay reduces the number of plays in the parlay. For example, if a 4-play parlay has two ties, then it will become a 2-play parlay and the payout will be recalculated based on the new number of plays. A 2-play parlay with one tie will reduce to a straight bet. In the case that a parlay is reduced to zero plays, the entire wager will be cancelled and the whole bet amount refunded.
All propositions must cover for the parlay to be considered a win (exception: ties reduce, see above). If any proposition loses, the entire parlay will be considered a loss. There are no partial payouts.
Games not played on the date specified are considered "No Action" and reduce the parlay to the next lowest number of plays. For Example: A 6-play parlay will be reduced to a 5-play parlay, a 2-play parlay will be reduced to a straight wager. Payouts are adjusted accordingly.
A teaser is a selection of two or more outcomes in a single wager in which either the pointspread or total is adjusted in the bettor's favor. Each sport has its own range of points for teaser selections. A teaser adjusts the spread for the favorite so that it decreases the posted spread, or conversely, increases the posted spread for the underdog. If you select a total, the adjustment makes totals higher-to-go-under or lower-to-go-over.
football spreads/totals by 6, 6.5 or 7 points.
basketball spreads/totals by 4, 4.5 or 5 points.
A Sweetheart Teaser is a special teaser for both basketball and football, where you have the choice of incorporating either 3 or 4 picks (teams). Instead of the regular points, you may tease football by 10 (3 team) and 13 (4 team) points and basketball by 8 (3 team) and 10 (4 team) points. The payout in a 3 team sweetheart teaser is 10/11 and the payout in a 4 team sweetheart teaser is 5/6. A push in a sweetheart teaser is a loss. Sweetheart teasers never reduce. There are no Sweetheart Teasers for baseball.
For example, if you want to tease your football picks by 6, you'll have to tease your corresponding basketball pick(s) by 4. If you tease your basketball picks by 5 points, you'll have to tease your corresponding football pick(s) by 7 points.
Note: You may not combine football/basketball in four team sweetheart teasers.
There are no partial payouts. All propositions must cover for the teaser to be considered a win. (Exception: a push in a regular teaser reduces the payout). If any proposition loses, the entire teaser will be considered a loss.
A push in a regular teaser of 3 teams or more reduces the number of plays in the teaser. For example, a 4-team teaser has two pushes, it will become a 2-team teaser and the payout will be recalculated based on the new number of plays.
A push in a 2-team regular teaser results in a push. Also, if any portion of a 2-team teaser has a result of "No Action", the entire teaser will be graded "No Action".
A push in a Sweetheart Teaser is a loss. Sweetheart teasers never reduce and must have ALL propositions cover for the teaser to be considered a win. If any portion of a Sweetheart teaser has a result of "No Action", the entire Sweetheart teaser will be graded "No Action".
Games not played on the date specified are considered "No Action" and will reduce the teaser to the next lowest number of plays. Payouts are adjusted accordingly.
Maximum number of selections in a regular football or basketball teaser is 10.
An 'If' bet is a selection of two straight wagers joined together on one betting ticket by an 'if' clause. This type of wager allows you to increase your betting power and limit your risk by placing two straight bets on one betting ticket where your second bet will only have action 'if' your first bet in the sequence is successful. An 'If' bet will place the second bet immediately upon success of the first bet. An 'If' bet is also useful if you want to make more than one bet, but do not have adequate funds in your account to cover the second bet unless the first bet wins.
There are two types of action you can select when placing an 'If' bet, 'If Win Only' and 'Action'. 'If Win Only' means the second part of the wager only has action if the first part of the wager is a win. If the first leg is settled as a push, no action, or canceled the amount risked is returned to your sportsbook account. 'Action' means if for any reason the first part of the wager is settled as a win, push, no action, or canceled the second part of the wager is then placed.
If the Patriots lose, the wager is a $110 loss and stops there. If the Patriots win, the account will be credited $100 and the wager continues with $110 wagered on the Bills. If the Bills win, the wager is a $200 winner and, if the Bills lose, the wager is a $10 loss. If the Patriots wager is a push, no action or canceled then the wager is essentially becomes a single wager, $110 to win $100 on the Bills.
Please note: The wager description will always display the MAXIMUM risk amount, being the most you can lose with a loss of the first or second of the two wagers, and the MAXIMUM win amount, being the most you can win with both wagers winning on the ticket.
Only two bets can be included in an "If" bet.
Circled games, parlays and teasers cannot be included in an 'If' bet.
An 'If' bet must be placed prior to the start time of the earliest event on the ticket.
The first bet amount may not exceed the normal house limit.
The second bet amount MUST EQUAL the amount of the first bet.
In an 'If Win' sequence, the second bet will not have action unless the first bet is a win.
In an 'If Action' sequence, the second bet will not have action unless the first bet is a win, push, no action, or canceled.
You cannot place 'If' bets including futures or props.
When placing an If-Bet with two different start times, the wager will be laid out according to the order in which the games appear on the wagering board. Therefore, the situation could arise, where the latter game appears on the first leg of the If-Betting slip. In order to switch the order of your picks, you must select "Switch my Picks", to bring the earlier game to the first leg.
A reverse bet is a series of 'If' bets going both forward and in "reverse" order. Each team included in the reverse bet will pair with the other team to form two 'if' bets.
If the Patriots and the Bills both win you will win $163 on the 1st part of the reverse wager and $163 on the second part, for total winnings of $326.
If the Bills win and the Patriots lose you will lose $110 on the first part of the reverse wager and $47 on the second part, for total losses of $157.
If one team pushes, is "No Action" or is canceled and the other team is a loss you will lose $220.
If one team pushes, is "No Action" or is canceled and the other team wins you will win either $126 for the Bills or $200 for the Patriots.
Please note: The wager description will always display the MAXIMUM risk amount, being the most you can lose with a loss of the first and second of the two wagers, and the MAXIMUM win amount, being the most you can win with both wagers winning on the ticket.
Only the four major sports: football, basketball, baseball, and hockey can be included in reverse bets.
Only two bets can be included in a reverse bet.
Circled games, parlays and teasers cannot be included in reverse bets.
A reverse bet must be placed prior to the start time of the earliest event on the ticket.
Both bet amounts MUST BE EQUAL.
In reverse bets, each part or sequence has "If Action". The second bet will not have action unless the first bet is a win, push, no action, or canceled.
You cannot place reverse bets for futures or props.
A Round Robin is a convenient way to enter multiple parlays at one time. They allow you to select between three and eight picks, choose to parlay or tease the bets, and combine them in parlays of two to six teams.
If you are confident in the New England Patriots -8, Buffalo Bills +4 and Minnesota Vikings -10, but you do not want to parlay them in a three-team parlay, you can choose to parlay them in three separate two-team parlays.
The minimum number of teams in a Round-Robin is 3, the maximum is 8.
The minimum number of parlay combinations is 2 and the maximum is 6.
You cannot place same-game parlays in Round-Robins.

Likely, in the display settings, you have 'smart stay' turned on.
That turns on the front camera for a few seconds and tries to determine if you are looking at the screen. It will then keep the display turned on if you are.
The eye comes up when smart stay is checking whether you are looking at your phone or not.
Not that this feature works for beans - most of the time, I'll see the Smart Stay icon show up in the Notification bar, after which the screen turns off anyway. I contacted Samsung support and they wanted me to do a factory reset so I just gave up on that resource since it's never worked properly even after all of the other factory resets that I've done.
