The theory of co-evolution suggests this will be an on-going battle. The system WhatsApp uses is more reactive than proactive at the moment.
WhatsApp bans 2 million accounts each month. A machine learning system uses the company’s past dealings with problematic accounts and from specific scenarios. (It) bans 20% of bad accounts at the time of registration. WhatsApp looks at factors including the user’s IP address, the country of origination for phone numbers used to sign up, how old the account is, and whether that account started sending a lot of texts as soon as it was created. 75% of the accounts banned are handled without human intervention. (It) has enforced a limit on the number of texts that can be forwarded to other users.
WhatsApp today outlined how it is tackling the spread of misinformation on its instant messaging platform as India heads into its biggest election. The country is WhatsApp’s largest market and one in which its service has been closely scrutinized by the government.
At a press briefing VentureBeat attended in New Delhi early today, company executives said they have built a machine learning system to detect and weed out users who engage in inappropriate behavior, such as sending bulk messages and creating multiple accounts with the sole purpose of spreading questionable content on the platform.
Automated fake accounts and people who seek to create havoc are barred from the platform at various stages — at the time of registration, while messaging, and when they are reported by others, the company’s executives said.
In terms of overall flags, Jones said WhatsApp looks at various factors, including the user’s IP address and the country of origination for phone numbers used to sign up for the service (and whether both are pointing to the same location), how old the account is, and whether that account started sending a lot of texts as soon as it was created. Seventy-five percent of the 2 million accounts WhatsApp bans in a month are handled without human intervention or a report filed by a user, said Carl Woog, a spokesperson for WhatsApp. WhatsApp is used by over 1.5 billion people, and according to industry estimates, it is now Facebook’s most popular service.
“As with any communications platform, sometimes people attempt to exploit our service. Some may want to distribute click-bait links designed to capture personal information, while others want to promote an idea. Regardless of the intent, automated and bulk messaging violates our terms of service, and one of our priorities is to prevent and stop this kind of abuse,” the company said.
Above: Matt Jones, a software engineer at WhatsApp, explains how the company trains its machine learning algorithms to detect and weed out bad actors.
Jones said WhatsApp has identified various ways users abuse the platform, including through special software that allows individuals to run multiple instances of different WhatsApp accounts on the same computer. The company also found special devices that support dozens of SIM cards, he said. WhatsApp says it has separate channels, teams, and APIs in place to keep a check on businesses using the platform.
WhatsApp’s push to contain questionable behavior comes as the company faces mounting pressure from several governments, including India’s. Beyond issues of election fairness, false information spread in India through WhatsApp has incited violence that cost dozens of lives, and similar issues have contributed to ethnic violence in Myanmar.
To counter that kind of abuse, the company has enforced a limit on the number of texts that can be forwarded to other users, along with a handful of additional product changes. The company has also run educational campaigns and advertisements on radio, television, and the web warning people to be cautious about what texts they share on the messaging platform. WhatsApp has also partnered with fact checkers Boom Live and Alt News, as well as news consortium Ekta. The company says it is also working with law enforcement and ramping up its local team.
In January of this year, WhatsApp partnered with BuffaloGrid, a U.K.-based startup that makes solar-powered mobile phone charging stations, to extend the reach of its campaign in India. The display on these grid machines can show advertisements or other messages, as an executive with the company — which has also inked deals with telecom operators in the country — demonstrated to VentureBeat on the sidelines of a recent event.
The general election in India commences in April and will test how prepared WhatsApp is to tackle misinformation on its platform. Leading up to this election, and during previous elections in the country, several prominent political parties have used WhatsApp groups to promote their platforms. However, WhatsApp said today that 90 percent of conversations on the platform happen between two users and that an average group consists of fewer than 10 members.
A case study published through Harvard Business Publishing looked at the election campaign of BJP (the political party currently in power) in the 13th Legislative Assembly election and found that the party was able to reach a wider audience on WhatsApp than on Facebook, and at a fraction of the cost. WhatsApp executives said they have spoken with representatives of political parties in India to outline appropriate use of the platform. These executives declined to comment whether the company has seen any progress on this front inrecent state elections.

As news of another Lidl store is revealed for Plymouth it's important to remember what sat on the land before the successful chain moved in.
One of the latest Lidl stores in the city is in Plympton, at the Erril Retail Park, just off Plymouth Road.
Opened in November 2016, the store has seen thousands of hungry customers pick up a bargain.
The now long-gone Megabowl, or Superbowl as it was known when it first opened, closed its doors in 2007.
School kids from across the city thought their dreams had been answered when this little beauty opened.
Star Wars Bowling League at Plympton Megabowl. Bailey Mitchell, Josh Mc Ilroy, Emma Williams and James Martin pictured in September 2005.
So we were all rubbish at bowling as we'd never done it before, but who cared? This was the place to be, and be seen.
If you were lucky you were allowed there on your own with your mates (before being picked up by Dad at 9.30pm of course), and it wasn't just bowling - remember the arcade, the air hockey and Quasar!
It even played host to The Herald's Battle of the Bands competition.
And if you were a little bit older (or maybe just 17), this was the last stop on Plympton's 13-stop bar crawl. If you didn't get ID'd, that is.
Megabowl was also investigated by a spiritualist after reports of figures and poltergeist-like activity.
Staff claimed to have witnessed many inexplicable events in the 15 years it was open, including ghost sightings.
The Plympton Megabowl site boasted an impressive 36 bowling lanes, Suzy Q’s pool bar, a Wimpy diner and a massive TV screen in the main bar.
In December 1998 Plymouth’s first Aldi store opened in Union Street.
In March 2001, Lidl opened on the site of the former Plymstock police station, in Horn Cross Road.
In February 2008, Lidl opened its third store in the city – this time in Wolseley Road, St Budeaux.
In December 2008, plans for a Lidl in Woolwell were given the go-ahead by city planners.
By the following year, Lidl had bought its Union Street site and begun early preparation work for the development.
In 2013 Lidl said it wanted as many as 1,500 stores in the UK under plans to build on its rapid growth of recent years.
In November 2014, an Aldi store finally opened at the former Longfield House prison site, on Greenbank Road – 14 years after its first attempt.
In January of 2016, Lidl was given the go ahead to build a new store on the site of the former MegaBowl bowling alley, in Plympton.
Lidl's latest ambitions are to build another store in the city by joining up with the new Derriford Range HQ at Seaton Barracks once billionaire Chris Dawson's multi-million pound development is complete.

Federal health officials have approved a meningitis vaccine previously unavailable in the United States to contain an outbreak at Princeton University.
Bexsero, a vaccine approved in Australia and Europe, fights off strain B of the disease. Several students at Princeton have been diagnosed with the strain, which is typically uncommon in the U.S., Barbara Reynolds, a spokeswoman for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, told Reuters.
The Food and Drug Administration agreed to expedite Bexsero’s approval in order to offer it as an optional vaccine to students on campus. Last week school officials reported a seventh case of the meningitis outbreak, which began in March.
University trustees convened to discuss the outbreak this weekend, but it is unclear when the vaccine will be available.

A deliciously refreshing mocktail, using Belvoir Fruit farms cordial and ginger beer.
This non-alcoholic Blueberry & Blackcurrant Mule was our favourite, from an evening with Belvoir Fruit Farms, trying various mixes, cordials and pressés. The Disappearing Dining Club showed us how to prepare this mix.
Belvoir drinks are made from freshly pressed fruits and spices and combined with spring water. It is good to know that they do not use any artificial ingredients or artificial sweeteners.
The Mule mixes Belvoir Fruit Farms’ spicy Ginger Beer with their Blueberry and blackcurrant cordial to replace vodka. The lightly sparkling Ginger Beer, made with their own cooked ginger infusion and pressed ginger juice, gives a delicious fresh and fiery kick! It is balanced with the rich and fruity Blueberry and blackcurrant cordial.
Added to muddled mint, with some freshly squeezed lime juice and plenty of crushed ice, it is refreshing and really delicious! Enjoy!
A delicious and refreshing mocktail, perfect over lots of ice!
In a tall glass, muddle a few mint leaves. Add the blueberry & blackcurrant cordial, lime juice and ice and mix well. Top up with ginger beer, swizzle, and serve with a slice of lime and a sprig of mint.
If you like this recipe, please do comment and/or give it a star rating. Thank you.
Thanks Nicole, It is good to know that I don’t need to use any artificial ingredients or artificial sweeteners.So easy to prepare, I will try it out.
We loved this one too, enjoy!

The remarkable progress of Gavin McDonnell shows no signs of halting any time soon.
Doncaster’s McDonnell retained his European super bantamweight title with an accomplished and comfortable performance against Frenchman Jeremy Parodi at Sheffield Arena on Saturday night.
A performance of maturity, consideration and skill came in only his 16th professional fight - with no real amateur experience either. And at this point, few would bet against him challenging for a world title by his 20th contest.
Scorecards reading 118-110 and 117-111 [twice] showed the manner in which McDonnell controlled the contest against a tough opponent who rarely stopped coming forward.
McDonnell has got better with each fight but his progress looks to have accelerated since joining trainer Dave Coldwell in the summer.
Though it was Chris Eubank Jnr handed the task of stepping into the main event boots of the injured hometown hero Kell Brook, McDonnell delivered the headline performance in the chief support bout.
He stuck to the game plan, working behind the jab and picking shots sensibly to turn up the heat.
But the most impressive aspect of his performance was his movement and the way he made Parodi miss more often than not.
As he grew in confidence, McDonnell began to find the body and slowed the charge of Parodi as each round passed.
An incredible engine saw him fighting at almost the same pace in the final round as he did the first. And he could have perhaps chased a stoppage, though it was not really necessary with no doubt over the winner at the final bell.
The clash between Atif Shafiq and Jamie Robinson promised fireworks and it certainly delivered in what was the fight of the night.
The build-up to the fight grew ever more heated with social media spats and culminated with an outburst during the final head to head.
And the action continued from the first bell. Bolsover’s well-supported Robinson was floored with a superb uppercut from Rotherham’s Shafiq inside the first minute.
Ingle-trained Shafiq looked to be establishing full control, nullifying the man known as the ‘Ginger Rocket’ with strong use of the jab.
But Robinson roared back in third, landing meaningful shots for the first time and the fight evened out through the middle rounds.
Shafiq halted Robinson’s progress with a strong sixth round showing, denying his opponent any opportunity for offence. Robinson went hell for leather in the seventh, spurred on by a big right hand that had Shafiq rattled, but had blown himself up by the end of the round.
Shafiq was rather comfortable in the final round and took a 78-74 points decision from referee Michael Alexander to move to 15-1-0. Robinson slipped to 6-3-1.
It was a good night for the Ingle gym as Leigh Wood saw off the brave challenge of Barnsley’s Josh Wale to win their British featherweight title eliminator.
Wood answered long-asked questions about his conditioning to stay in control throughout the ten round contest.
There have never been any questions about Wale’s engine or resilience and he did not disappoint. Though the fight slipped ever further away from him, Wale never took a backward step. It had proved a difficult week for the gallant fighter with the birth of his second child just five days prior to the fight who was then kept in hospital due to an infection.
Nottingham’s Wood stayed out of trouble and kept Wale at bay through the majority of the fight before going on the run in the last few rounds. He claimed 99-91, 98-92 and 99-92 decisions from the scorecards. Wale dropped to 18-8-2 for his career.
Conisbrough’s David Allen turned in a disappointing performance in victory over French heavyweight champion Fabrice Aurieng.
Much is expected of Allen, who is taking boxing seriously for the first time in his professional career and dropped close to three stones in weight in the build-up to this fight.
His preparations were hit when scheduled opponent Adam Machaj withdrew, halting his bid for the Central Area title. After preparing for a 6ft7 orthodox fighter for several weeks, Allen found himself up against a 6ft1 southpaw.
The 23-year-old started the fight well. A right hook put Aurieng down inside the first minute and another had the Frenchman rattled, with Allen backing him up throughout the round.
But he failed to establish control for the rest of the fight with his jab evading him. It saw the fight descend into a rough and tumble brawl with rounds nicked rather than convincingly won.
Allen took a 57-56 points decision from referee Alexander though had probably done enough to justify a slightly wider margin.
The main event saw Chris Eubank Jnr blitz American Tony Jeter as expected for victory inside two rounds.
Jeter was down in the first round and simply could not cope with Eubank’s speed and power. A series of hooks on the ropes saw referee Howard Foster step in inside 30 seconds of the second round.
Earlier in the night, Conisbrough’s unbeaten Steven Hale produced a comfortable win on his first step onto the big stage, beating Dean Evans 40-37.
And Rotherham’s Lee Appleyard claimed every round of a one-sided contest against Andy Harris to move to 5-1-0.

Published by The Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, London, XXIX (June 1866), pp. 282-87. Section F of the British Association, 1862.
1. The following paper briefly describes the nature of a Theory of Economy which will reduce the main problem of this science to a mathematical form. Economy, indeed, being concerned with quantities, has always of necessity been mathematical in its subject, but the strict and general statement, and the easy comprehension of its quantitative laws has been prevented by a neglect of those powerful methods of expression which have been applied to most other sciences with so much success. It is not to be supposed, however, that because economy becomes mathematical in form, it will, therefore, become a matter of rigorous calculation. Its mathematical principles may become formal and certain, while its individual data remain as inexact as ever.
2. A true theory of economy can only be attained by going back to the great springs of human action — the feelings of pleasure and pain. A large part of such feelings arise periodically from the ordinary wants and desires of body or mind, and from the painful exertion we are continually prompted to undergo that we may satisfy our wants.
Economy investigates the relations of ordinary pleasures and pains thus arising, and it has a wide enough field of inquiry. But economy does not treat of all human motives. There are motives nearly always present with us, arising from conscience, compassion, or from some moral or religious source, which economy cannot and does not pretend to treat. These will remain to us as outstanding and disturbing forces; they must be treated, if at all, by other appropriate branches of knowledge.
3. We always treat feelings as being capable of more or less, and I now hold that they are quantities capable of scientific treatment.
Our estimation of the comparative amounts of feeling is performed in the act of choice or volition. Our choice of one course out of two or more proves that, in our estimation, this course promises the greatest balance of pleasure. When there is a large overbalancing force on one side, indeed, the estimation of the amount of this balance is no doubt very rude; but all the critical points of the theory will depend on that nice estimation of the opposing motives which we make when these are nearly equal, and we hesitate between them.
4. As several writers have previously remarked, feelings have two dimensions, intension and duration. A pleasure or a pain may be either weak or intense in any indivisible moment; it may also last a long or a short time. If the intensity remain uniform, the quantity of feeling generated is found by multiplying the units of intensity into the units of duration. But if the intensity, as is usually the case, varies as some function of the time, the quantity of feeling is got by infinitesimal summation or integration.
Thus, if the duration of a feeling be represented by the abscissa of a curve, the intensity will be the ordinate, and the quantity of feeling will be the area.
5. Pleasure and pain, of course, are opposed as positive and negative quantities.
6. A principle of the mind which any true theory must take into account is that of foresight. Every expected future pleasure or pain affects us with similar feelings in the present time, but with an intensity diminished in some proportion to its uncertainty and its remoteness in time. But the effects of foresight merely complicate without altering the other parts of the theory.
7. Such are the main principles of feeling on which economy is founded. A second part of the theory proceeds from feelings to the useful objects or utilities by which pleasurable feeling is increased or pain removed.
An object is useful when it either affects the senses pleasurably in the present moment, or when, by foresight, it is expected that it will do so at some future time. Thus we must carefully distinguish actual utility in present use from estimated future utility, which yet, by allowing for the imperfect force of anticipation, and for the uncertainty of future events, gives a certain present utility.
8. Amount of utility corresponds to amount of pleasure produced. But the continued uniform application of au useful object to the senses or the desires, will not commonly produce uniform amounts of pleasure. Every appetite or sense is more or less rapidly satiated. A certain quantity of an object received, a further quantity is indifferent to us, or may even excite disgust. Every successive application will commonly excite the feelings less intensely than the previous application. The utility of the last supply of an object, then, usually decreases in some proportion, or as some function of the whole quantity received. This variation theoretically existing even in the smallest quantities, we must recede to infinitesimals, and what we shall call the coefficient of utility, is the ratio between the last increment or infinitely small supply of the object, and the increment of pleasure which it occasions, both, of course, estimated in their appropriate units.
9. The coefficient of utility is, then, some generally diminishing function of the whole quantity of the object consumed. Here is the most important law of the whole theory .
This function of utility is peculiar to each kind of object, and more or less to each individual. Thus, the appetite for dry bread is much more rapidly satisfied than that for wine, for clothes, for handsome furniture, for works of art, or, finally, for money. And every one has his own peculiar tastes in which he is nearly insatiable.
10. A third part of the theory now treats of labor; which, although the means by which we seek pleasure, is always accompanied by a certain painful exertion, rapidly increasing as some function of the intensity or the duration of the labor. Thus, labor will be exerted both in intensity and duration until a further increment will be more painful than the increment of produce thereby obtained is pleasurable. Here labor will stop, but up to this point it will always be accompanied by an excess of pleasure.
It is obvious that the final point of labor will depend upon the final ratio of utility of the object produced.
11. I assume, as obviously true, that the abilities of men are infinitely varied, whether by nature or by education, so that both the same person may vary in his power of producing different objects, and any two persons may vary in respect of the same object.
This, indeed, is in direct opposition to the erroneous simplification of the science effected by Ricardo, when he assumed that all laborers have a certain uniform power; the higher classes of mechanics and other skilled or learned producers being treated as mere exceptions to the rule.
12. The theory of rent, which here comes in, is not materially different from that of Dr. Anderson and later writers.
13. We now arrive at the theory of exchange, which is a deduction from the laws of utility .
If a person has any useful object, but an object belonging to another person would have greater utility, he will be glad to give the one in return for the other. But it is a necessary condition that the other person will likewise gain, or at least not lose by the exchange.
Whether the exchange will take place or not can only be ascertained by estimating the utility of the objects on either side, which is done by integrating the appropriate functions of utility up to the quantity of each object as limits. A balance of utility on both sides will lead to an exchange.
14. Suppose, however, that the useful objects on either side are commodities of which more or less may be given, and this even dow to infinitely small quantities. Such is substantially the case in ordinary commercial sales. There are now no definite amounts of utility to be balanced against each other, but the one person will now give to the other so much of his commodity, and at such a ratio of exchange, that if he gave an infinitely small quantity, either more or less, but at the same rate, he would not gain in utility by it. The increments of utility lost and gained at the limits of the quantities exchanged must be equal, otherwise further exchange would take place.
The ratio of the increments of the commodities, however, would be indeterminate but for the existence of a law that all quantities of the same commodity, being uniform in kind, must be exchanged at the same rate. The last increments, then, must be exchanged, in the ratio of the whole quantities exchanged. To explain in ordinary words how the adjustment takes place under this condition is almost impossible. But light is at once throw on the whole matter by stating that in every such exchange we have two unknown quantities and two equations by which to determine them. The unknown quantities are the quantities of commodity given and received. The know quantities are those of the commodities previously possessed. We have also the functions of utility of the commodities with the respect to the persons. An equation may thus be established on either side between the utility gained and sacrificed at the ratio of exchange of the whole commodities, upon the last increments exchanged.
15. When the useful object on one side only is infinitely divisible, we shall have only one unknown quantity, namely, that of the divisible commodity given for the indivisible object, and also one equation to determine it by, namely, that on the part of the person holding the divisible commodity, and able to give more or less for it. But this does not apply to unique objects, like a statue, a rare book, or gem, which do not admit of the conception of more or less.
When both commodities are indivisible as first supposed (section 15), we have neither unknown quantities nor equations.
16. The equations in an exchange may prove impossible, or without solutions. This will indicate either that no exchange of commodity can take place at all, or that at least one of the parties to the exchange is not satisfied even with the whole of the commodity formerly belonging to the other.
17. The principle of exchange thus deduced in the case of two persons and two commodities, applies to any number of persons and commodities. It, therefore, applies not only to the general inland trade of a country, but to the trade between aggregates of men or nations — international trade.
The number of equations is very rapidly increased according to the simple law of combinations .
18. Of course such equations as are here spoken of are merely theoretical. Such complicated laws as those of economy cannot be accurately traced in individual cases. Their operation can only be detected in aggregates and by the method of averages. We must think under the forms of these laws in their theoretic perfection and complication; in practice we must be content with approximate and empirical laws.
19. Let it be remarked, that though the exchanges be regulated by equations, there cannot be equality in the whole utilities gained and lost, which are found by integrating the functions of utility of the respective commodities before and after exchange.
The balance is the gain of utility, and from the nature of exchange there must be a gain on one side at least.
20. Combining the theory of exchanges with that of labor and production, the quantity which each person produces will be dependant upon the result of the exchanges; for this may greatly modify the conditions of utility.
A new set of unknown quantities are thus introduced; but it will he found that just as many new equations to determine them may be established. Each such equation is between the utility of the last increment of produce and the increment of labor necessary to produce it.
21. The only further part of the theory which I will here at all attempt to explain is that referring to capital. I shall give a definition of capital different from the established one, and much simpler. Mr. J.S. Mill says (Principles, 3rd edition, vol. i, p. 67), "What capital does for production is to afford the shelter, protection, tools and materials which the work requires, and to feed and otherwise maintain the laborers during the process."
To understand capital properly, we must omit all but the last enumerated part. Thus, I define capital as consisting of all useful objects which, in supplying a laborer's ordinary wants and desires, enable him to undertake works of which the result will be deferred for a greater or less space of time. Capital, in short, is nothing but maintenance of laborers.
It is, of course, perfectly true that buildings, tools, materials, &c., are a necessary means of production; but they are already the product of labor assisted by capital or maintenance. They are the results of the application of capital to labor at an imperfect stage.
Without capital a person must have immediate returns, or else he perishes. With capital he may sow in the spring that he may reap in the autumn; or he may undertake labor-saving enterprises, such as roads and railways, which will not make a full return for many years. Most improved modes of applying labor require that the enjoyment of the result shall be deferred.
22. While amount of capital is estimated by the amount of utility of which the enjoyment is deferred, amount of employment of capital is the amount of utility multiplied by the number of units of time during which its enjoyment is deferred.
23. The interest of all capital in a market is of one rate only, and that, therefore, the lowest rate; because capital consists only in maintenance, and may therefore be applied indifferently to any branch of industry. Buildings, tools, &c., which have hitherto been classed with capital, are, on the contrary, usually applicable only to the single purpose for which they were designed. The profit they bring, therefore, in no way follows the laws of the interest of capital, but rather those of rent, or the produce of natural agents. This has been already remarked by Professor Newman, in his Lectures on Political Economy, and by other writers.
24. As labor must be supposed to be aided with some capital, the rate of interest is always determined by the ratio which a new increment of produce bears to the increment of capital by which it was produced. As the interest of all capital must be uniform, the benefit which the mass of capital already available confers upon the laborer goes for nothing in determining the rate of interest, which depends solely upon the portion last added, or which may be added.
25. We can now easily explain the known fact, that the interest of capital always tends to fall very rapidly as its amount increases, in proportion to the labor it supports. It is because for equal increments of time the necessary increments of capital increase with the time. Thus, if I undertake a work which I can finish in one year, I have to await the result on an average only half a-year. If, however, I work a second year before getting the result, I wait a whole year for the former year's work and half a-year for the second year's work. Thus I employ at least three times as much capital in the second year as in the first. In the third year I should employ at least five times as much capital, in the fourth year at least seven times, and so on. Unless, then, the advantages of the successive deferments increase in the arithmetical series 3, 5, 7, 9, &c., the proportional profit from the new additions must fall, and, as was said before, the lowest rate for which capital may be had governs the rate of all other capital.
26. It is the accepted opinion of writers of the present day, that the rate of interest tends to fall because the soil does not yield proportionate returns as its cultivation is pushed. But I must hold that this decrease in the proportionate returns would chiefly fall upon the wages of the laborer. The interest of capital has no relation to the absolute returns to labor, but only to the increased return which the last increment of capital allows.
27. Having thus explained some of the principal features of the theory, I shall close without venturing into the higher complications of the subject, where the effects of money, of credit, of combination of labor, of the risk or uncertainty of undertakings, and of bankruptcy, are taken into account.
The last result of the theory will be to give a determination of the rates of wages, or the produce of labour after deduction of rent, interest, profit, insurance and taxation, which are so many payments which the labourer makes for advantages enjoyed.

Home » Car Insurance California » What Affects My Insurance Rates?
When considering a car insurance policy, calculate how much coverage you actually need. Decide on the limits you want to set for each category, the total deductible, and if you are comfortable paying this deductible amount. Use common sense! Does it make any sense to carry collision insurance worth $30,000 on a $12,000 car? Is there any way the company would pay you three times the market price of your vehicle? Absolutely not!
Consider factors that affect your car insurance bill.
A number of insurance requirements apply if you are getting a new car financed, so you have little room to wiggle there. But, if you are driving an old car that’s done some long hauling and isn’t worth a fortune, you could consider saving on your premium.
Calculate the cost of insuring a new luxury car before you buy it. If your new vehicle is worth that hefty premium, go for it. If you are not comfortable footing that bill on an annual basis, look for something else.
Gender, thankfully, is not a factor since both males and females age alike, but if you haven’t found someone special to settle down with, it might show on your insurance receipt. Single males under 25 are the worst off in this regard, and it shouldn’t be hard to figure out why. They are considered riskier drivers. If you do fall in this unfortunate category, you could reconsider in favor of a more sensible vehicle. Maybe delay buying that cherry red Mustang till you are 26, and possibly married!
People who have caused accidents have to pay for it. If you’ve done it more than once, the insurance company dockets you under ‘high-risk driver’ and you end up paying a higher premium than others. Actually, the company simply makes up for money lost on safe drivers by having the not-so-safe drivers pay more.

The million dollar question everyone is asking is, where did summer go? In just a few days, it will be time to get back in the groove of packing lunches, scheduled bed times, and that age old question of what to make for dinner. Making dinner is great, but what's even better is when dinner from the night before can transform into a fresh lunch the next day, or another dinner with a new touch for another night. Here are 10 meals that go from dinner to lunch (and even breakfast) any night of the week.
For Dinner: Roasted Corn Salad The Remix: Bring corn salad to room temperature and add to a green salad, or top it on tacos for the next night's dinner.
For Dinner: Cilantro, Mint, and Basil Yogurt Dip The Remix: Spread this dip on a sandwich to add flavor instead of regular mayo.
For Dinner: Grilled Leg of Lamb The Remix: Slice this leg of lamb thin, add thick cut tomatoes and leafy greens, and make sandwiches for lunch the next day. Lamb gyros are a great dinner option, adding a warm fluffy pita, fresh vegetables and classic tzatziki sauce.
For Dinner: Firecracker Crab Cakes The Remix: Reheat these crab cakes and flatten them to make a crab cake sandwich for lunch, or add a small green salad and have the sandwich with dinner.
For Dinner: Black and White Sesame Crusted Salmon The Remix: This salmon is great as a stand out dish for dinner, but it's also great the next day, flaked and tossed in a salad for lunch.
For Dinner: Roasted Pork Loin with a Pistachio Crust The Remix: Slice this pork loin into thick slices, quickly sear and make a great sandwich for lunch.
For Dinner: Chicken Thighs with Meyer Lemon Salsa The Remix: Extra salsa can be made and added on top of eggs, a garnish for hummus, or a topping to steak or fish.
For Dinner: Pork Shoulder 2 Ways The Remix: Pork shoulder is so versatile. One pork shoulder can make 3 or 4 different meals. Slice for sandwiches, shred and mix with your favorite barbecue sauce and have pulled pork, and if the bone is in, it can be used to make a rich and hearty soup.
For Dinner: Lentil Salad The Remix: Lentil salad is great with a piece of protein for energy all day long. Sauté the lentils and top with a piece of seared salon for a quick and easy lunch or dinner.

One of Iowa’s only aquaponic farms is now providing fresh produce and fresh fish year-round. The centerpiece of All Seasons Harvest near Cedar Falls is a climate-controlled 6,000 suare foot greenhouse. Bob Moulds is president and CEO of the facility. Moulds says he and his two sons have been fine-tuning their products for more than a year.
Moulds says, “We raise fish to produce nutrients in the water of which bacteria converts the waste from the fish into usable nutrients and provide the food for the plants.” The fresh water fish are tilapia, the 6th most common seafood product in the U.S. They’re being raised as part of the 9,000 gallon closed system.
No herbicides, insecticides or other chemicals are used in the process as they would harm the fish. Moulds says he’s frustrated their products can’t be labeled “organic” as they’re not grown in dirt. He hopes to develop a label for his product and others like it to be classified as “all natural” but it may take years to get U.S.D.A. certification.

It looks like a replay of history. Not too long ago, the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) group was a force to be reckoned with in Egypt, operating clandestinely before the 2011 Arab Spring and audaciously in the wake of the Arab Spring, until they were overthrown in July 2013 by massive public revolution.
In their heyday the MB included a few Copts among their ranks. Prominent among these Copts were Rafiq Samuel Habib, whose father was the head of the Evangelical Church in Egypt, and Gamal Assaad, a lawyer and writer. They were a godsend for the MB, who exploited their membership to obscure the group’s hatred and hostility towards Copts.
Today the MB is no longer a player on Egypt’s political arena; by court order, it is an outlaw terrorist group. But right on its heels and again riding the wave of political Islam is another group, the Salafi group, that has long marketed itself as fundamentalist but not violent. Post-Arab Spring legislation allowed the formation of Islamic-based religious parties which had until then been legally banned. Many Islamist groups or movements formed political parties; the Salafis’ most prominent was al-Nour (The Light) Party. Even though Egypt’s 2014 Constitution—approved after the Islamist MB were overthrown in 2013 and Egypt established itself as a secular State—bans religious-based political parties, al-Nour and others continue to operate under the pretext that they are not ‘religious-based’.
Al-Nour is now contesting the current elections and, given that the election law requires that every party list should include a minimum number of Copts as a measure of positive discrimination, the Nour Party lists include Copts—some 24 of them. The positive discrimination measure applies for only one parliament, the 2015 parliament, and also includes women and disabled persons.
That the fundamentalist al-Nour should field Coptic men and women, and that Copts should care to join, has raised eyebrows. For the majority of Egyptians, the allegation that the party is not religious-based is laughable; the legal loopholes al-Nour has used to claim that it is no religious party hold no credibility for the public. Yet these loopholes have had the effect of keeping al-Nour alive and kicking, and the fact that Copts have joined its ranks allows the party to claim it is indeed not Islamic-based.
Al-Nour makes no secret of basing its inclusion of Copts on the commonplace Islamic principle of “Necessities make the banned allowable”, meaning that anything that is banned or sinful may be allowed in case of necessity or need. The election law makes it imperative for party lists to include Copts, so include Copts the Nour does. Never mind that Copts have been denounced as kuffaar (infidels) by al-Nour more times than anyone would care to remember; now these kuffaar have the potential of catapulting the Nour into parliament and, basing on the famed Islamic principle, the Nour has no qualms about that. And the party found 24 Copts eager to join. Before going into the motives of these Copts or the justification they offer for having joined the Islamist party, it might be useful to explore the history of the Salafi movement and its al-Nour Party vis-à-vis Copts.
The Salafis are no strangers to going back on their word. Again, they appear to find justification in the Islamic equivalent of ‘the end justifies the means’. During the regime of pre-Arab Spring President Hosni Mubarak, who had been in office for 30 years, the Salafi movement supported the regime and issued declarations that banned going against the ruler. Yet they joined the MB in demonstrating against him during the Arab Spring uprising in January/February 2011. Mubarak stepped down on 11 February 2011. The first post-Arab Spring public referendum in March 2011 required the people to cite their opinion on a number of constitutional amendments. The Salafi sheikhs Muhammad Hussein Yacoub, Yasser Burhami and Abdel-Moniem Shahaat led a campaign that Muslims should vote ‘yes’ for a potentially Islamic identity of the State; a ‘no’ vote would have possibly given the Copts a chance to change this identity. So much for not being religious-based.
Once the door was thrown open to the formation of Islamist parties, the Salafis formed 15 political parties and ran for the first post-Arab Spring parliament in 2012 in which Islamists gained a sweeping majority. These were the same Salafis who had repeatedly said that politics was a sinful activity; their Sheikh Abdel-Razeq al-Radwani said it went against Islamic sharia to join any political party or contest elections, since these were western ploys to drag Muslims into non-Islamic activity under the pretext of democracy. Democracy itself, Salafi sheikhs repeatedly confirmed, was un-Islamic, a Western political invasion of Muslim countries and minds; giving in to it was nothing short of an Islamic defeat in the face of the West.
It took Egyptians less than three years following the Arab Spring to realise that the Islamist rule it had brought went against all their Egyptian values. The majority of Egyptians are Muslim, and they had decided to give the Islamists a chance to run the country, but they realised soon enough that this meant a definite end to democracy and ‘Egyptianness’. Egypt was then being swiftly suppressed into part of what was hoped would become a pan-world Islamic caliphate. This drove Egyptians to rebel and, on 30 June 2013, a massive millions-strong revolution led the army to step in. After an ultimatum to the Islamist President Mursi to resolve the crisis, which he promptly and belligerently scorned, the army put an end to the MB ruling regime—and to the possibility of civil war.
Salafi leaders met Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi, then Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, and sat down with the representatives of all the other sectors of the Egyptian community to draw the Roadmap for a democratic future, which Egypt has since followed. The Salafis were included because the process of planning Egypt’s future excluded no Egyptian, even Islamists, as long as they participated peacefully. Yet during and even after the 30 June 2013 Revolution, the Salafis sided with the MB and took part in the violent attacks they waged, especially against Copts.
Ever since, the Salafis have displayed a flagrant duality by calling for and applying their fundamentalist, extremist code, while at the same time toeing the line when it comes to political practice. In the case of their current run for parliament, they claim they are striving to have the chance to apply the sharia of Allah.
Nowhere is Salafi fundamentalism more obvious than in their hatred and hostility towards Copts, a fact Salafis never bothered to make secret.
Once the Arab Spring took hold the Islamists saw their chance and instigated a string of Salafi attacks against Copts. In March 2011, Copts in the village of Sole in Etfeeh were attacked and their church destroyed under the pretext of punishing Copts for a romance between a Coptic man and a Muslim woman. The army later rebuilt the church in full.
Again, it was Salafis who in September 2011 led the attack against the Copts of the Aswan village of Merinab in Edfu because they were building a new fully licensed church in place of one that was falling apart. The Salafis burnt the church and terrorised the Copts. The incident led to the disastrous Maspero massacre in Cairo on 9 October 2011, in which some 24 peaceful Coptic demonstrators were brutally killed.
Salafi fatwas (Islamic legal opinion) against Copts have been publicised in the media, in printed material, and on their website www.anasalafy.com Most notorious among them is that no Copt is allowed to hold any position where he may exercise authority or control over a Muslim, meaning that no Copt may become a judge, police or army chief, cabinet minister or president. They may not fight in the army since their loyalty to Muslims is in doubt; instead they should pay jizya (Islamic tax on non-Muslims).
According to scholars such as Ibn al-Qayyim and Ibn Taymiya, whose teachings they follow, Salafis believe there can be no equality among citizens, since this goes against the Qur’an and Sunna.
Every Christian religious feast—Christmas, Easter, or any other—is preceded with a flood of fatwas that say it is a sin for a Muslim to wish a Christian a happy feast day.
As to the manner in which Salafis tackle the Christian faith, it is nothing short of disdainful. Copts in Egypt have been used to hearing insulting remarks on mosque microphones during Friday prayers; this practice has only recently subsided with an attempt by the Ministry of Religious Endowments to impose controls on mosques.
In view of all the above, how does al-Nour justify placing Copts on its candidate lists for the upcoming parliamentary elections?
Sheikh Burhami, who had pronounced a fatwa that no Copt may run for parliament, posted on the Salafi website that by including Copts al-Nour was simply applying the law. The issue, he said, had not been fully resolved, and required balancing benefits and losses.
Salah Abdel-Maaboud, member of the political office of al-Nour, said the fatwa was not binding.
The Coptic candidates, for their part, have mostly kept silent on the matter; only two cared to publicise their opinions. One is Nader al-Serafi, who has an issue with the Coptic Orthodox Church regarding the Church’s strict stance on marriage and divorce; he has formed the movement Copts 38 which calls for more lenient divorce laws. The other is Suzanne Samir, a woman who also has a family problem that has no solution within the Catholic Church.
In reply to criticism about a Copt joining a religious [Islamic]-based party, Mr Serafi coolly said the criticism did not apply to him because al-Nour was not a religious-based party.
He promised he would recruit 1,000 Copts to join al-Nour, a promise scorned by Copts who say there is only one way to achieve this: by persuading uneducated Copts in remote villages to sign membership applications under the pretext that these papers were applications for monthly food rations.
Mr Serafi has said he has no qualms against the application of Islamic sharia, claiming it is best for Copts.
Non-Islamist politicians and intellectuals are unanimous in that the Nour is opportunistic, and that the inclusion of Copts and women on its lists is a mere ploy to avoid being banned as a religious-based party, but imply no change in the party’s Salafi fundamentalist ideology. Which all the more, according to the vast majority of Copts, condemns those Copts who have consented to being used to endow the Islamist party with legitimacy as a non-Islamist party, legitimacy it could have otherwise never gained.
When asked for his comment on the Copts in al-Nour, Pope Tawadros had two points to stress. First that the Church has no party preference and maintains her position as removed from politics. Second, that those Copts who now belong to an Islamist party are definitely free to do so, but they should do some self-searching to revise where their loyalties lie. After all, no man can serve two masters.

Unvented cylinders are mains pressure hot water storage systems that provide a highly efficient way of storing and distributing domestic hot water at mains pressure throughout your home.
These cylinders are not open to the atmosphere, unlike open vented cylinders which are open to the atmosphere via the cylinder's vent pipe and the cylinder's cold feed pipe from the cold water storage cistern/tank.
These mains pressure cylinders provide quicker heat recovery than the low pressure open vented cylinder, i.e, it takes less time to heat up.
Because water is supplied from the mains supply and not from a cold water storage cistern/tank, the flow rate and water pressure from a unvented cylinder at the outlets (taps/faucets shower heads) is much greater than from the storage fed open vented cylinder.
Unvented hot water storage cylinders, unlike open vented cylinders, require a number of safety devices to ensure the safe operation of the system.
Because the unvented cylinder is 'sealed from the atmosphere', the hot water temperature, water expansion and water pressure have to be monitored and accommodated (taken up safely) in normal operation, and, in the event of a problem, be capable of discharging any excess pressure and hot water safely.
Discharge pipework from both the temperature/pressure relief and expansion relief valves is run via an internal tundish (air gap) to a safe discharge point. This pipework must be metal and not plastic due to possible high water temperatures.
A composite or combination valve contains the pressure reducing valve, line strainer,expansion valve and check valve designed to speed up installation.
Some composite valves also have an isolating valve and a connection branch for balanced cold water supply.
A balanced system is one in which both the hot and cold water is distributed at equal pressure.
Note: The cylinder thermostat, the high temperature energy cut-out thermostat, the temperature and pressure relief valve is a three tier level safety protection system designed to prevent overheating and over-pressurization in the unvented cylinder which could lead to an explosion.
The pressure reducing or limiting valve also prevents over-pressurization of the system.
If any of the above controls are faulty do not attempt to repair them. They must be replaced by a qualified installer or the unit returned to the manufacturer for repair.
Note: Water at sea level will boil at 100ᵒC, but water that is sealed from the atmosphere will remain in a liquid state at temperatures far higher than 100ᵒC. If this heated water which is under pressure was suddenly exposed to the atmosphere the result would be a flash explosion as the water is transformed into gas (steam) increasing in volume by 1600 times.
The controls for a domestic/residential unvented cylinder is designed to prevent temperatures reaching and exceeding 100ᵒC.
The domestic/residential unvented cylinder will operate in a pressure range of 2 bar to 3.5 bar (200 - 350 Kpa). Before the installation of an unvented cylinder, you will need to establish whether your mains supply can provide adequate pressure and flow rate.
For typical domestic systems a minimum pressure of 1.5 bar (150 Kpa) and 20 litres/min water flow rate is required.
If the water pressure is too low to meet the required operating pressure for the unvented cylinder then water can be fed from a low level cold water storage cistern/tank. This cistern/tank is mains fed and water is drawn from it by a pumping unit that supplies the hot and cold system at the pressure required.
The material that the cylinder is made from will have a direct bearing on the inlet pressure that the system is required to operate at.
In earlier models of light gauge copper unvented cylinders a vacuum relief, or anti vacuum valve, was sometimes fitted to prevent possible implosion. This could happen when draining the cylinder without venting the system, e.g, by not opening a tap/faucet, or where water is drawn off faster than it can be replaced, e.g, a fall in mains pressure, or if the cylinder was cooling after the water supply was closed off.
An unvented cylinder can be directly heated by electric immersion heaters, or a gas burner, or indirectly heated by a central heating boiler through the primary heat exchanger (the coil inside the cylinder).
Note: The combination primary storage unit (CPSU) is a combination boiler with an 80 litre built in unvented hot water storage vessel. See Home Heating Boilers.
Unvented cylinders can be supplied from the manufacturer in two ways, as a unit, or as a package.
Note: If the unit is to be heated indirectly from a boiler then the high energy cut-out may be on the boiler.
With the 'Package', only the temperature and pressure relief valve and high temperature energy cut-out thermostat is factory fitted by the manufacturer, the other devices will be fitted on site by the installer.

I bethink allowance my son get to pre-school. A ablaze abatement morning looked like this: I would get him up, acquisition his clothes for him, augment him, allocution with him about which colors bout which levels of affections (his best of chat not mine), accomplish his lunch, (add a little animation in there) and booty him to academy on the C alternation actuality in New York City.
As we absolved into the chic allowance anniversary day it would hit me. That little window of bristles pre-school hours was the aperture to a new appearance of my life; aback I would acquire to about-face aback to my own interests. And in that moment, I looked aback appear the actuality I was afore my son came into my life. A person, I don’t anticipate affectionately of. A actuality my son afflicted for the better.
Babies rewire aggregate we are. They force us to see ourselves, reflected with complete accuracy in the mirror of our affecting reactions.
When we are break at home parents, men or women, babies and toddlers rewire aggregate we are. They accomplish us accost our fears and our appetites. They force us to see ourselves, reflected with complete accuracy in the mirror of our affecting reactions. All the arresting methods we acquire acquired; assorted cocky medications, distractions, claimed martyrdoms and often, hidden angers, that we acquire squirreled abroad and captivated so dearly aback our apple accustomed us those luxuries.
But babies don’t affliction about those constructs. Babies bound force us to a crisis point; to appoint or retreat as parents. We angle in a tsunami of alien needs, re-wiring all that we are. It is in the appeal for adamant and affectionate account to addition that we ascertain in how abounding means our pre-baby selves will acceleration in protest. And in the blink of an eye, we are confronted with the best to accord those things up.
To acquire this rewiring at its best basal concrete level, aloof airing alongside a toddler for a few days. You break angled over to authority the tiny duke that alcove up to you. You airing so very, actual slowly. You about-face and abeyance and airing and bend, and turn, and kneel and angle and so on. It hits you physically, in your lower back, your knees. Emotionally, there is no abroad destination you are charging toward. Parks become all-inclusive abandoned places with beat sets and boscage gyms that are impossibly distant. Cars alluvion by. Oh, look, a leaf, etc. It is not an accessible affair to apathetic bottomward for anyone. But to apathetic bottomward for your tiny bright-eyed toddler, and to do it for years is a analysis of who we intend to be.
Being a full-time ancestor afflicted me. It fabricated me a bigger person. A bigger beastly being. In part, because it affected me to accost the antecedent of those gut-churning moments of panic.
The agitation I aboriginal accomplished as a new ancestor fabricated me feel like an beastly trapped in a cage, pacing. Sometimes it was abounding blown. Sometimes it was aloof a low akin anxiety. And accepting out for the night or an afternoon didn’t assume to advice much. It was a abysmal accompaniment of alarm, that panic. It ashore with me.
Being a full-time ancestor afflicted me. It fabricated me a bigger person. A bigger beastly being. In part, because it affected me to accost the antecedent of those gut-churning moments of panic. And there were a lot of them. They still appointment me. They are a assurance of article fundamental; a beef adjoin the actual rewiring of who I am. Ask any full-time mother or father. Adopting a adolescent is an advance on the blowhard ancillary of ourselves. A ancillary that does not go agilely into that aphotic night. A ancillary that does not absolutely go abroad at all.
The actuality I primarily acclimated to be — I’ll aloof alarm him PreDad — is a abstruseness to me now. I attending aback through the fog of the changes and can alone t fractional glimpses of him. He’s a actuality who spent a lot of time activity out of blow — with himself, with his wife, with the apple at large. As an artisan and a writer, PreDad did a cardinal of actual artistic things, but there was a abridgement of unified intention, of focus, of clarity. For him, award acceptation in the apple was elusive. His appearance of things was muddled.
I anamnesis absolutely clearly, captivation my sleeping son already aback he was a year old and watching the alarm move atrociously slowly; the additional duke active by, boring the hours out. Maybe some bodies can aloof artlessly sit with a babyish for hours on end, but PreDad was not one of those people. I still bethink the centralized burden of PreDad’s panic. Some allotment of me was agreeable that actuality still and quiet was antibacterial me; abrogation me a carapace of myself; that accepting my tiny son in my activity was abatement me.
Sitting there with my candied babyish son, I couldn’t force things to bustle up. The allotment of me that was PreDad had to sit still. He had to wait. He had to serve addition activity and addition actuality after tracking the amount of barter for some pre-negotiated benign outcome. PreDad was a accurate affectionate of man. A accord maker. A ancillary stepper. A negotiator. But in that time and place, he could alone sit there activity panic-stricken, disempowered, abandoned and shut off from the world.
In that austere moment, I absolutely alone had a brace of options. I could break in that mode, that adaptation of myself, and I could fail as a father.
In that austere moment, I absolutely alone had a brace of options. I could break in that mode, that adaptation of myself, and I could fail as a father, or I could change, tap into added versions of myself; versions of me that created added adjustable means of being. I could tap my adorning ancillary to authority my sleeping child. I could tap the calm centermost of me to apathetic bottomward and let change come. I could become attuned to processes instead of outcomes. I could amount journeys instead of results. I could accomplish myself see that actuality still was a allowance to my son and myself. The allowance of time in which we could ability new understandings about the world; to admission at our own adapted accomplish advanced together.
I like to acquire I acquire afflicted a lot. And that I am continuing to change. I had to become added accessible and adjustable internally; added able to be in and break in the moment, instead of tracking a laundry account of tasks and issues. I had to become added at peace. Added calm. More, cartel I say it, spiritually aware. One mantra I came up with for a while in those canicule was the following: “Whenever I get angry, I lose.” PreDad’s scorekeeping mindset struggled adjoin some affectionate of added holistic awareness. The change of the PreDad continues.
For the record, autograph about parenting ability advance that I somehow anticipate I acquire my act together, but I assure you that I don’t.
For the record, autograph about parenting ability advance that I somehow anticipate I acquire my act together, but I assure you that I don’t. PreDad and all my added added bad-tempered selves are appropriate actuality with me. Every distinct day, PreDad lurches up in me and tries to battle my parenting interactions to clothing his needs. He wants my nine year old to LISTEN. To BEHAVE. To HURRY UP. You gotta adulation that PreDad. He’s consistent.
But alike PreDad can’t abstain the ability of change that a adolescent brings. He’s benefited, too. PreDad abiding doesn’t assume abashed anymore. Aback he gets a few hours to do something, he knows what he wants to say. He speaks with immense clarity. In fact, he’s autograph this article right now. Aback he gets a few hours, he writes, he draws, he creates, he’s accepting it done. But, clashing before, he has a accumulation purpose to his work. Proving that alike he can’t abstain the ability of change that blind in there and blockage affianced with your adolescent can actualize in people. And because of his accuracy and accommodation to drive processes, PreDad is absolutely accepting arrive aback in these days.
I don’t appetite him adopting my kid, but I do appetite him active my claimed passions. As abundant as PreDad is about me, he serves a able role in acclimation a parent’s life. He comes affronted aback in and asks, What is your purpose above actuality a father? What will you make, now that you acquire some clarity? What are you activity to become next?
I accredit PreDad a beheld sym. Perhaps a guy in a red shirt? Then there is the adorning adaptation of myself. The angel of a growing plant? Okay. Then there are added selves. The adaptation of me that loves to play. A jester or a clown? So aback I acquisition myself cogent Gus to HURRY UP. I can aloof anticipate my Jester and about-face to that mode. If I appetite Gus to HURRY UP and get his shoes on, I can suggest, “Let’s comedy the beastly academic d while you put on your shoes.” It accouterment aggregate internally and evidently and the shoes cease to be the alone focus. Then, whether the shoes go on faster or not, you’re arena the game, not aloof continuing there watching your kid put on his shoes AGONIZINGLY SLOWLY.
The trick, I think, is acceptable accustomed with our assorted centralized selves and affective them to the beginning as needed. Already you analyze the aboriginal two or three versions of yourself, added beneath accessible abandon of yourself will emerge. You can apprentice to alarm on any of them aback you charge them. They’ll come. Really. And as you embrace this abstraction of assorted selves, you will ascertain article abroad actual important. That our assorted selves are neither acceptable nor bad. They are contextual.
I may characterization PreDad as bossy, but if I am in a afire building, PreDad is the guy I want. The Jester would do me little good. We charge to acquire and authority all our centralized selves because, in antithesis with anniversary other, they all accompany important strengths. And the acclimation of these strengths are what will advice chargeless us from the blackballed admission of panic.
As you embrace this abstraction of assorted selves, you will ascertain article abroad actual important. That our assorted selves are neither acceptable nor bad. They are contextual.
Panic is what happens aback we acquire too few choices, aback we try to use one way of actuality for a activity that is complicated and anytime evolving. Employing our altered centralized selves brings all options into play. PreDad included.
And so, the aeon of activity is arena out. A allotment of me that already responded with alarm and agitation now returns, reborn, calling for new interpretations of how activity can be lived. Other, added airy genitalia of me absorber that bull cocky from my child, who continues to academy me in backbone alike as he models impatience. Our centralized mural is busy with complexity, and all of these genitalia of ourselves, these altered individuals that accomplish up the accomplished of who we are, can advice us administer the cycles of change.

If you take a 90-gpm, variable-displacement, pressure-compensated vane pump that has a 100-ms recovery rate, short-couple it with heavy-duty pipe to a fast-acting (20 to 50 msec) blocked-center 4-way valve, then run it on a high-cycle application, you can get some unhappy results. When we tried to operate some equipment with such a combination, we suffered poor performance, heavy leakage, cracked and blown line fittings, a sheared coupling, warped bearings, chewed-up vanes and rotors, a distorted pump case, and short pump life.
Obviously, we had a problem, and a little thought identified it. When the control valve centered while the pump was running full tilt, we could have about 0.15 gal [(90 gpm)/(60 sec/min) (0.0 sec)] of high-pressure oil that had to go somewhere, but there was no place in the circuit for it to go.
To take care of this fluid, we found a fancy, nitrogen-charged, bladder-type surge suppressor that could handle an almost-instant inrush of 0.5 gal of oil. This suppressor then slowly bled the fluid back during the next cycle. With the suppressor teed into the line between pump and valve, pump life went from weeks to years on the half-dozen machines with the original problem.
Then the suppressor manufacturer merged into another company and dropped the product from their line. We needed a replacement, and a bladder-type accumulator with a flow control valve looked like a good candidate. Unfortunately, we discovered that we couldn’t keep the flow control adjusted properly. We eventually cured this situation by substituting a simple ball-check valve with an orifice drilled through the ball for the flow control. Sometimes it took several tries to get the orifice just right, but once we had it, it never got out of adjustment.

Lewis Ferebee, the superintendent in Indianapolis, was named Monday as District of Columbia Mayor Muriel Bowser's choice to lead the city's public schools.
During his five years in Indianapolis, Ferebee, an Education Week Leaders To Learn From honoreein 2016, has focused on forging partnerships with charter schools leaders and establishing choice-friendly policies, including a common-enrollment system for all the city's students. That approach may be tailor-made for D.C., where about half of the 48,000 K-12 public school students are enrolled in charters.
"In his work with students, educators, and families, Dr. Ferebee has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to improving student outcomes," Bowser wrote in a statement. "He understands the complexities of leading a large urban school district in a growing city. He knows there's no one-size-fits-all solution to meeting the needs of our young people. And he has experience building partnerships that ensure more students have a path toward success."
Ferebee will succeed Antwan Wilson, who was forced out earlier this year amid a school transfer scandal. Wilson's family bypassed the city's school lottery system so his daughter could transfer into a highly coveted public high school. It marked a clear breach of a policy he helped draft to address the issue of high-ranking officials receiving special treatment in the school transfer process.
Wilson's interim replacement, Amanda Alexander, was the other finalist for the top job.
This is the second high-profile job that Ferebee pursued this year: he was a candidate to lead L.A. Unified schools in the spring, but eventually withdrew his candidacy.
Before taking the top job in Indianapolis, Ferebee worked at several districts in North Carolina, including the Durham schools, where he served as chief of staff.
The son of educators whose own career has been built by rising through district schools' leadership ranks in the South, he has a decidedly traditional educational pedigree. His dissertation at East Carolina University argued that public-school-choice provisions in the No Child Left Behind Act didn't improve student achievement. And on top of all that, he's the head of a struggling urban school system that many argue has been hurt even more by a fast-growing charter sector.
"There's this idea that you have to be on one side or the other--you can't wave both flags," Ferebee says of district and charter schools.
"The more we encourage people to wave both flags, the more effective we will be in educating our children."

Don't You Want My Life?
Home / Don't You Want My Life?
Have you ever wanted someone else’s existence? Thought their grass was greener than your grass?
Or, perhaps, you may have idolized someone and been disappointed to find, they really don’t have the life you thought? They turned out to be just plain, ole, human beings.
So many of us can look to others, as having found the secret to success, the way to living an amazing existence and wonder what is wrong with us? Why can’t we replicate it, or how come we always seem to fall short?
We each can appear to have our sh*t together, when in actuality our thoughts really don’t match–ALL THE TIME. An individual can look at me and think I am 1000 steps ahead of them in some capacity and not see where I may be 1000 steps behind them too.
When this peer made the statement to me, I then told her, “I don’t know you or the entire picture of your life; I don’t get why you think I would want it?” Comparison is the thief of joy and when we constantly look at someone as having it easier, better or knowing something we don’t….we’re screwed.
It ceases to be an inside job; it’s all about keeping up. It’s not just a comparison, or a competition, it also takes away our self-acceptance for all of who we are and ability to live in the moment.
Self-acceptance and authenticity are nothing to do with external circumstances, so even if we achieve the same goals as someone else, unless we’re doing it from a place of being motivated by our own joy, passion and desires….we’re trying to live someone else’s life.
We can look to someone and see a goal they have achieved and want to accomplish it too. Although, how they did it, may not actually work for us. Their ‘how’ is personal to them. We have to strike out onto our own path, while making sure that where we’re headed has real meaning for us.
There is no one-size fits all on living the ‘right’ life.
In a society that says “look at me, look at me…aren’t I special? Aren’t I the life you want to live?” it is not the whole story. It’s a snapshot, perhaps one dressed up in a beautiful evening gown or an expensive car or something, which when you get right down to it, has little bearing on inner fulfillment–if that is all there is in the life being displayed.
We can have it all, if that is what we truly desire, but for it to feel successful, it must resonate with our truth.
BUT, unlike the person who asked me the ‘title’ question, what is important to me and for anyone who chooses to work with me, is that I don’t want anyone to emulate my life. I want to offer tools to people to live their authenticity, to be their truth……to accept themselves and whatever the heck it is that will make them happy, without living by the expectations of someone or something else.
If we look to others to find ourselves, let’s make it useful, instead of something we can bash ourselves with by not measuring up. If we look to them for inspiration, but not perfection…or even better, we look to them to reflect back characteristics of ourselves ‘who we are’….‘what we do’ and perhaps see our truth more clearly…then we can feel connected to our own power.
