Two weeks ago Benton jumped on defending Class 4A champion Arkadelphia for a 21-point first-quarter lead in a 56-17 rout. Senior Colen Morrow fired three TD passes to classmates Michael Allison and Garrett Body. Landers Super Team running back Zak Wallace bowled over Badger defenders for three scores. Benton did not play last week. Class 7A Cabot last week ran the ball on 58 of its 59 plays for 281 yards in a 27-10 win at Class 6A El Dorado. Cabot drove 62, 80, 57 and 45 yards for TDs and three Panthers ran for 69 yards or more, led by Graham Turner's 113 yards. Class 7A Cabot's Dead-T attack likely causes problems for Benton like it did for El Dorado. Cabot improves Coach Mike Malham’s record to 300-133-4 at the school with a win.
Hootens.com correctly predicted nine of 12 winners (75 percent) of games involving Class 6A schools. Hootens.com has correctly picked 25 of 32 winners (78 percent) of games involving Class 6A schools for the season.
MARION (4) at Blytheville: The home team has won the past four meetings, including a 53-8 Marion win last year. Keith Houston is the first Marion coach to start 2-0 in the modern era (since 1969). Marion has stuffed a potential game-winning two-point conversion the first two games. Another close contest is likely at Blytheville, but Marion gains confidence weekly.
HAR-BER (2) at Pine Bluff: This is the first meeting of schools. Pine Bluff looks to avoid an 0-2 start for the first time since 2009. That year's Zebras were 2-4 before losing to El Dorado in the state title game. Class 7A Har-Ber impressed last week in a 20-point win at Russellville. Junior running back Max Pena ran for 160 yards and two TDs, but QB Blaise Wittschen left in the second half with a concussion and will be evaluated this week. Pine Bluff's rivalry game with Class 5A Watson Chapel last week was cancelled at halftime with the score tied at 14 because of lightning.
LR Hall at JACKSONVILLE (12): Jacksonville beat Hall by a combined 36 points over the past two seasons. Hall has lost 10 straight games and last week its game against Mills was cancelled to lightning. Jacksonville has lost five of its past six games and its last two losses the season were shutouts (42-0 setbacks last week to LR Catholic and first round of last year's playoffs at Benton). Both teams lack depth, but Jacksonville's defensive line could dominate.
Jonesboro at LR CATHOLIC (8): Jonesboro has won two straight against Class 7A LR Catholic, including 28-26 a year ago. The Golden Hurricane played Class 7A Conway within four points until the fourth quarter last week in a 37-16 loss. Jonesboro's offense is anchored by senior Ole Miss commit Darius Thomas at left tackle, classmate Tate Lutes (11 catches for 186 yards two TDs in 2018) and promising sophomore QB Cross Jumper (516 passing yards and seven scores with three interceptions). Catholic last week downed Jacksonville 42-0 for its first shutout since skunking LR Hall 49-0 in 2013.
Wynne at WEST MEMPHIS (10): Wynne won this matchup in 2014, but West Memphis won the last meeting 20-19 in 2015. Wynne last week led defending Class 4A state champion Arkadelphia 14-0 at halftime and won 35-28. West Memphis shutout LR Central 35-0 before mercy-ruling Blytheville 35-15 last week. West Memphis intercepted four passes last Friday. If West Memphis defensive line remains disciplined against Wynne's Flexbone attack then the Blue Devils improve to 3-0.
Mountain Home, Sylvan Hills and Searcy are open.
CABOT (3) at Benton: See Hootens.com Game of the Week.
Sand Springs, Okla. at GREENWOOD (10): Greenwood last week won its seventh straight against Fort Smith Southside 52-27. Senior QB Peyton Holt amassed 482 total yards and four TDs while sophomore Hunter Wilkinson rushed for 94 yards and two scores. Treyton Dawson (11 catches for 151 yards) and Luke Leonard (10 receptions for 143 yards) emerged as pass-catching threats.
LAKE HAMILTON (14) at Hot Springs: Lake Hamilton has won three of the past four meetings against Class 5A Hot Springs, including 35-7 a year ago. Lake Hamilton last week led Class 4A Malvern 49-10 at halftime. Sophomore Layne Warrick completed all five of his passes last week for 114 yards and two scores. Lake Hamilton sophomore running back Carlos Brewer has 262 yards rushing (10.5 YPC) and three TDs this season.
Siloam Springs at VAN BUREN (10): The visiting team has won four of the past six meetings, but Siloam Springs won at home last season 35-21. Siloam Springs last week committed five turnovers and surrendered three sacks in a 42-7 loss to Class 5A Harrison. Harrison slashed Siloam for 218 rushing yards (6.1 YPC) and five scores.
WHITE HALL (3) at Sheridan: Class 5A White Hall has won five of the past six against Sheridan and two straight. Sheridan had an open date last Friday after rushing for just 38 yards (1.3 YPC) in a 42-0 loss to Searcy.
RUSSELLVILLE (10) at Alma: Schools have split the past six meetings with Russellville winning the last meeting 34-7 in 2015. Russellville gave up four QB sacks and had four turnovers in last week's 27-7 loss to Class 7A Har-Ber. Class 5A Alma is 0-2 for the first time since 2007.

Los Angeles: Earlier today opening statements began in the criminal trial against Mary O'Callaghan, an LAPD officer formerly assigned to Southeast Area patrol.
O'Callaghan is facing a felony charge of assaulting an arrestee under color of authority based on the LAPD's investigation into O'Callaghan's conduct during the arrest of Alesia Thomas on July 22, 2012 for child abandonment.
O'Callaghan assisted officers in placing Thomas in the back seat of a patrol car. The LAPD's Digital In-Car Video System captured O'Callaghan kicking Thomas in the stomach and groin area and pushing her in the throat while in the back seat. Thomas later lost consciousness and was transported to a local hospital where she was pronounced dead.
As in all in-custody deaths, the LAPD's Force Investigation Division (FID) responded to the scene of the arrest and began a comprehensive investigation into the incident. The LAPD also notified the Office of the Inspector General and the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office.
The investigation involved interviewing witnesses, collecting and analyzing forensic evidence, and reviewing the in-car video footage. When the conduct was discovered the Department immediately removed her from the field and assigned her home. The District Attorney's Office subsequently filed a felony criminal complaint against O'Callaghan based on the LAPD's investigation of the incident. The Chief of Police has relieved her of duty and she is no longer receiving pay.
"When any officer is suspected of going beyond the law, the LAPD will thoroughly investigate the allegations and work closely with the District Attorney's Office to bring charges where appropriate," said Chief of Police Charlie Beck. "In this case, the LAPD's investigation led directly to the charges being presented in a court of law and we await the justice system's determination based on the evidence in the case."
Note: All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

A VoIP expert stresses the importance of a separate voice VLAN setup, quality-of-service enablement and edge routers for a robust VoIP infrastructure.
Despite recent advancements in Voice over IP (VoIP), the technology still demands several important requirements to ensure it operates optimally.
Businesses that are considering investing in a VoIP PBX technology need to consider whether their existing infrastructure is capable of supporting it. Similarly, companies that have already purchased a VoIP PBX product should examine the existing network setup to identify possible areas that need to be improved.
Below is a list of items that companies should ensure their network infrastructure supports if they plan on investing in VoIP. Additionally, companies should examine if the proper configuration has been completed to ensure VoIP packets have the necessary priority they need.
Voice VLAN: The VoIP infrastructure should be on a separate virtual local area network (VLAN) for both wired and wireless networks.
Quality of service (QoS): QoS must be enabled and configured throughout the network infrastructure.
IP phone/voice gateway traffic marking: IP phones and voice gateways should always mark VoIP packets so QoS mechanisms can treat all VoIP packets with priority.
QoS on edge routers: Routers connecting branch offices must have QoS enabled and configured.
LAN/WAN performance: Periodically measure your LAN/WAN (wide area network) links to identify packet loss, delay jitter and other problems.
Regardless the size of your network, the VoIP infrastructure must be placed within its own VLAN. This setup includes the main VoIP PBX, IP phones, voice gateways and other VoIP equipment or services that are usually placed in their own VLAN called the voice VLAN.
The voice VLAN ensures that only traffic from your VoIP infrastructure will be present within it, keeping it free from unwanted packets such as workstation ARP requests, workstation network broadcasts, traffic from the Internet, printing devices and DHCP server-client traffic. In addition, the main VoIP infrastructure components, such as VoIP PBXs, IP phones and voice gateways, will have increased bandwidth availability and exist in a more secure and isolated environment, away from attacks that may be lurking in the network infrastructure.
Wireless networks should also have a dedicated VLAN for their wireless VoIP clients. Wi-Fi clients can experience higher delays than wired clients since there is limited bandwidth compared with the wired infrastructure.
A big misconception is only large networks should have a dedicated voice VLAN. The voice VLAN design strategy applies to all network sizes and is considered a fundamental requirement for any VoIP infrastructure.
Quality of service is an essential ingredient for a successful VoIP infrastructure. QoS has different implementations, but its main principles are common throughout all vendors: Give the appropriate priority to different types of packets. VoIP packets get special treatment here.
The effects of a non-QoS-enabled or poorly QoS-configured network are seen during high-traffic periods or traffic bursts. When QoS is enabled throughout the network, VoIP packets always have No. 1 priority to achieve minimum delay as they travel through the network infrastructure. Naturally, low-traffic networks are less susceptible to the negative effects of a congested network, but this doesn't mean QoS is not necessary.
IP phones and voice gateways are the primary source and destination for VoIP packets. Most of these devices are set automatically to "mark" VoIP packets so QoS mechanisms, such as DiffServ-DSCP and IP precedence, are able to identify and process them accordingly.
If devices in your VoIP infrastructure -- such as switches, routers and firewalls -- have the ability to recognize IP precedence or DSCP for classification and marking purposes, you can then provide end-to-end QoS with outstanding results.
Companies with branch offices usually pass voice traffic over their WAN/leased lines to help reduce telecommunications costs. WANs are generally much slower than LANs, making QoS more critical for them. Edge routers should be configured to provide top priority for VoIP packets, placing them in front of the queue and processing them as soon as possible.
Low-speed WAN links should use low-bandwidth audio codecs (like G.729) and IP Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP) header compression -- in conjunction with QoS -- to help minimize bandwidth requirements for VoIP calls and deal with problems such as delay and packet loss.
Periodic performance measurements of your LAN and WAN infrastructure are important proactive measures to help identify network problems, hidden bottlenecks and check if QoS is working correctly.
Using open source applications, such as Iperf, you can test network throughput, delay/latency, jitter and packet loss -- all of which are factors that can negatively impact VoIP quality. Firewall.cx provides an extensive overview of Iperf and shows how the application can be used to measure network performance, packet loss, network delay and identify other network problems.
Is your VoIP infrastructure configured on a separate voice VLAN?

What is a VIP Experience with Heather? It is MORE than just hearing from passed loved ones! While bringing through the deceased is Heather’s primary talent, this is truly an opportunity for learning, healing, and the possibility of peace and closure between yourself and those in Spirit. It is also an opportunity to hear wisdom from spirit (loved ones, guides, and angels, for example) channeled through Heather to help guide YOUR life, if you wish to ask a question or to toward the end of the session. Heather believes that the healing is in the details. It can be difficult to truly find peace if we are left wondering if it really was our loved one(s) coming through. Heather is fastidious in pulling through evidential details so you have no doubt at all as to the identity of at least one if not more of your spirit people coming through to connect with you. You spend two full hours in a very small group that gives everyone the opportunity to learn heal and even laugh together. There are often common themes in the groups. This is not comparable to a private reading in personal focus, but everyone does receive messages and connections with the other side and Heather.
(Please understand guarantees cannot be made with spirit work).

Researchers first developed a three-dimensional dynamic model of an interaction between light and nanoparticles. They used a supercomputer with graphic accelerators for calculations. Results showed that silicon particles exposed to short intense laser pulses lose their symmetry temporarily. Their optical properties become strongly heterogeneous. Such a change in properties depends on particle size, therefore it can be used for light control in ultrafast information processing nanoscale devices. The study is published in Advanced Optical Materials.
Improvement of computing devices today requires further acceleration of information processing. Nanophotonics is one of the disciplines that can solve this problem by means of optical devices. Although optical signals can be transmitted and processed much faster than electronic ones, first, it is necessary to learn how to quickly control light on a small scale. For this purpose, one could use metal particles. They localize light efficiently, yet weaken the signal eventually causing significant losses. However, dielectric and semiconducting materials, such as silicon, can be used instead of metal.
Research in Optics and Photonics made by Russian leading universities, especially ITMO University –Academic Excellence Project (Project 5-100) participant –relies on a synergy of fundamental physics, materials science, numerical modeling, and device applications. This type of research has diverse applications, such as ultra-high resolution imaging, photovoltaics, sensing, quantum cryptography and secure communications, optical quantum computing and etc. An efficient way to make photons interact could open new prospects for both classical optics and quantum computing.
Silicon nanoparticles are now actively studied by researchers all around the world, including ITMO University, Project 5-100 participant. The long-term goal of such studies is to create an ultrafast compact modulators for optical signal. They can serve as a basis for computers of the future. However, this technology will become feasible only once we understand how nanoparticles interact with light.
In order to create a tool to study processes inside nanoparticles, scientists from ITMO University joined forces with colleagues from Jean Monnet University in France. “We proposed analytical methods to determine particle size and refractive index, which might provide a change in optical properties. Afterwards, with powerful computational methods we tracked processes inside particles. Our colleagues did calculations on a computer with graphics accelerators. Such computers are often used for cryptocurrency mining. However, we decided to enrich humanity with new knowledge, rather than enrich ourselves. What is more, bitcoin rate just started to fall then,” adds Konstantin.

WARNING: black lug worm beds are usually at the low tide mark, and can only be reached by walking great distances, in some cases over 2 miles from the foreshore. You are advised to pay particular attention to the weather conditions, as well as having some knowledge of the tidal flow in the area you are collecting. It is also recommended that you carry a compass and take a bearing from the shore before setting out, then in the event of fog or mist coming down you are able to get back to shore safely. DO NOT carry on collecting bait if weather conditions close in, return to the shore asap. It is also advisable to carry a mobile phone so you can alert the coastguard should you get in to difficulties.
Black Lug is identified by a cast, that may not be black, but will have no visible blow hole like the Blow Lug has. You may see what appears to be a blow hole in the centre of the cast.
Place your bait pump 3 – 4 inches away from the cast and at a slight angle (20 degrees or so) to the cast, push the pump into the sand about 4 inches and pull the handle upwards, be careful not to fully extend the handle as this will cause loss of suction, clear the pump of the sand that you have just sucked up and repeat.

This paper studies the effects of allocation rules on the stability of mass tort class actions. I analyze a two-stage model in which a defendant faces multiple plaintiffs with heterogeneous damage claims. In stage 1, the plaintiffs play a noncooperative coalition formation game. In stage 2, the class action and any individual actions by opt-out plaintiffs are litigated or settled. I examine how the method for allocating the class recovery interacts with other factors---the shape of the damage claims distribution, the scale benefits of the class action, and the plaintiffs' probability of prevailing at trial and bargaining power in settlement negotiations---to determine the asymptotic stability of the global class. My results suggest criteria to attorneys and courts for structuring and approving efficient allocations plans in mass tort class actions and for evaluating the requirements for class certification in mass tort cases.

Different! A page-turning psychological thriller with so many twists you can’t look up for a moment, and, at the same time, an in depth look at love, family, and the complex relationships between women.
When the story opens Nicolette Farrell is reluctantly leaving Philadelphia and her wealthy fiance to return home to Cooley Ridge, a small town nestled among mountains and woods. Her brother has called to tell her their Dad is running out of money. To keep him in a luxury nursing home they will need to sell the house they both grew up in. The house with a back yard running back to woods with a river and deep, dark caverns just a walk away.
Nicolette’s memories of Cooley Ridge are mixed, some happy, some dark, especially of the time just before she left, when her best friend, Corrine, suddenly disappeared.
The first chapter sets up the story and introduces all the characters, including Tyler, Nic’s high school sweetheart who never stopped loving her, Dan, her brother, wracked with an unspecified guilt, and Patrick Farrell, her father, sometimes lost in a fog of alzheimer’s, sometimes terrifyingly clear.
After Nicolette’s first day back in Cooley Ridge, the story jumps fifteen days ahead. The story is then told in reverse. Each chapter is the day BEFORE. It adds an extra layer of suspense, a tension hard to ignore.
This story took me by surprise. More than once. And I’m a voracious, life-long reader of thrillers, who usually knows the killer’s name long before the end. I love to be surprised, to have all the pieces fall neatly into place. I’ll be looking for more from Megan Miranda.

I’ve always. Been fascinated in this history.
Some 3.5 million years ago, what happened that day, would not be witnessed by human beings, for their day had not come, they did not exist.
A dark brown head with small eyes looked from side to side in a cautionary movement, not wanting to be prey for some hunter animal. This new animal to the food chain, with its flat-topped head, low forehead with a pronounced ridge running above its eyes, with a flattish styled nose, appeared different, no dangling arms existed.
As it slowly advanced through the long grass, satisfied no danger was obvious, it rose up, walking on two legs, not the customary four. The creature, the animal was the next step in the evolution of mankind was female and belonged to the Australopithecus Afarensis group of mammals, the first known creature to be bipedal (walk on two legs).

Although specifically designed for architects and engineers, archInvoice's modular design easily accommodates the typical billing scenarios for other professions such as interior designers, laywers or anyone that bills on a phased schedule using either hourly or fixed fees. Each of the various modules is discussed below.
Using the Create Invoices module, you can create a single invoice for a determined billing period, or an invoice for all projects that can be searched to produce a complete set of invoices. You can also create either Draft invoices or Final invoices. The Draft invoices however, cannot be posted.
Once you have created and reviewed the Final invoices for a billing period and determined they are correct, the Post Invoices module is used to post them. Posting does two things, (1) the amount for each project/phase is added to the 'Billed-To-Date' database for future tracking, and (2) the invoice number, date, and amount are included in the 'Receivables' database for tracking of outstanding invoices.
You can use the Create Summary module to create a summary of the invoices produced during a specific billing period. The amount of each billing category, and the total amount billed, is computed for each invoice. Additionally, the total billing for each category is computed and placed at the bottom of the summary listing.
Using the View Receivables module you can quickly view all outstanding invoices or all invoices for a specific project. The invoice number, date, project identifier, project name, date due (date + 30 days), amount due, and days past due are displayed.
The Post TimeSheets module is used weekly to 'post' each employees timesheet to the 'Hourly' database. Employee project hours for the week can be posted on a daily or weekly basis.
The Post Payment module isused to record your customer's payments into the Invoice database. Payment amount, date, and check number are entered into the 'Invoice' database.
Using the Customers module, you can easily maintain information, such as name, address, and contact, to display on the invoice for each customer.
Using the Projects module, you can enter, or update, individual project information. Each project record contains information such as: project identifier, descriptive name, total contract value, reimbursable maximum, and company P.O. information.
The Phase Codes module is the heart of the archInvoice system and is used to enter and update the Phase Code number and description. A Phase Code number is used to describe the type work performed on each project by adding an associated descriptive name for Hourly, Square Footage, Fixed Fee, Consultant, and Expense areas. Additionally, the Expense codes include a multiplying factor which is used to multiply the amount entered by the established value. For example, a mileage expense could have a multiplier of $0.32, which allows the entry of the actual number of miles instead of the actual monetary amount. You can create up to 100 different codes for each area. For your convenience, the Phase Codes module database contains sample phase codes that can simply be used, or modified as desired to fit your unique requirements.
The Employees module isused to enter, or update, individual employee information, such as the employee's assigned four-digit identifier, their last name, first name, associated staff code and start date.
The Staff Codes module is used to enter and update the Staff Code information. Staff Codes are used to associate the number of hours worked by an employee to a particular billing rate for a project. You can create up to 99 different Staff Codes to define the work for up to 10 different billing rate groups.
The Hourly module is used primarily to correct information automatically entered during the weekly posting of employee timesheets. Using this module, you enter or update information on the projects that each employee works, before you create your invoices.
The Max Hourly module is your project control valve. It is used to enter a maximum amount to be billed for any project phase. The archInvoice system then checks this value each time you create an invoice to ensure you do not exceed this limit. If the maximum amount is exceeded, the excess amount is then deducted from the invoice.
The Square Feet modjule is used to manage the total square feet to be billed for the phase and the amount per square feet. It also tracks the percent complete for each billing cycle. As subsequent billing cycles are processed, the percent complete is updated to reflect the work progress. The system tracks the amount previously billed and deducts that amount from the invoice.
The Fixed Fee moduled is used to manage fixed fee billing information for project phases. The total fixed fee to be billed for the phase and the percent complete are tracked for each billing cycle. As subsequent billing cycles are processed, the percent complete is updated to reflect the work progress. The system tracks the amount previously billed and deducts that amount from the invoice.
The Consultant module is used to track any consultant work performed on a project. The consultant's name and the amount billed are included as an entry on the invoice.
The Expenses module allows you to track information on reimbursable expenses accumulated for a project during a billing period. The expense type and amount are included as an entry on the invoice.
The Billed to Date module isused to post the final invoices at the end of the billing cycle. This process updates the "Billed-To-Date" information for the project phase.
This module should be used with great caution since the integrity of the system can be compromised.

I responded to a tweet from where I was offered help with my marathon training and was delighted to be sent some products to try out: Actipatch and Litozin.
Actipatch is a product that is new to the UK. It’s described as a ‘comfortable knee wrap’ that is ‘clinically proven’ to provide ‘long-lasting relief’ using Electromagentic Pulse Therapy. It is the perfect alternative to pain medication for me to use before or after training to ensure my knees will allow me to perform to the best of my ability! I’m a little creaky at the moment, but I don’t think there’s anything wrong, so it’ll be packed in my bag ready for use as soon as I’ve finished on Sunday! I had real problems with my knees after my first marathon, so hopefully this will help to prevent similar problems this year.
The second product that I’m trying is Litozin+, which is a ‘unique natural food supplement, made from specially processed rose hip berries. Long-standing Scandinavian research projects, together with 7 published scientific studies have established that rose hip powder may play an important role in maintaining healthy, flexible joints and joint mobility’. I’ve really noticed how stiff I’ve been recently, so I’m willing to give them a go. I need to take three a day with food, so I’ll be trying them with meals and will let you know how I get on.
Do you rely on any health or fitness products to help you get through your training?

"That is to say, research is often dismissed in media accounts on ad hominem grounds, because of the researcher's convictions or his funding source" (152).
Chapter 9 in It Ain't Necessarily So looks at how peer reviewed journals are not always the best, since the peers might have had an agenda while reviewing the article. (As someone who has learned to put a lot of importance on peer reviewed sources for research paper thanks to Dr. Jerz, this was slightly surprising) Often, the media ignores the findings of the article and instead focuses on how it was funded- like a study showing the benefits of calcium funded by the dairy corporations. The results are often dismissed as biased and therefore not useable if the media focuses more on the funders than the research itself. However, can you blame them? Perhaps I'm just used to the media conditioning, but if I'm reading a story about how bad Coca-Cola is for you, funded by the Pepsi Co., of course I'm not going to put as much faith in the resutls. As we have learned, polls, surveys, and research studies can be skewed one way or the other, depending on what is the desired result. Sure, the research itself might carry a lot of meaning, but allowing the names of the funders to come out can greatly impact how that study is viewed in the public eye.
"But reporters who excelled at conveying one part of the explanation paid no heed to an important second part" (170).
Chapter 10 takes on the idea that the media is often so focused on one part of a study or research that it fails to see the rest. This sounds familiar...haven't we learned this previously? Yes, the media picks and chooses what it reports and how, whether it is by only emphasising the bad side of the story or making something out of nothing. There is always a story behind the story, the good behind the bad, and more facts behind those presented. Nothing is as it seems- polls and surveys aren't always done correctly, stories are reported on without having all the information, and scientific research neglects to look at all sides of a problem.
I was also surprised to learn the true life of peer-reviewed journals/articles. Throughout my college career thus far they've basically been regarded as the holy-grail of research texts. But I'm starting to wonder - if these sources can't even be trusted, what can?!
(10)Yes, he does put am emphasis on peer-reviewd material.But I have always taken the material as credible, without ever considering other agendas? What if Brind's research was being critisized by people who were all pro-choice? Do their views motivate and enter their crticism? There is never any guarantee that only one side is biased.
(9)As to your Coca-cola analogy, the same holds true for me and political ads. If there is a negative ad about "candidate A" financed by "citizens for candidate B", I'm not going to take the ad as credible information about the candidate.
I agree that allowing names of funders can skew the polls. I recently bought a product that was out of my price range, but because of the statistics-which I really wanted to beleive even after all the discussions in this class, I bought anyway. I am biased toward the product so I believe the hype-I'm one of the stupid people we read about in this book.
it seems peer-reviewed work is a tricky subject. Is something better b/c ppl have looked it over and deemed it credible? or should we be asking just who is doing the reviewing? I agree that their are biases going into some peer-reviewed work and that ultimately it is up to the reader to decide whats true.

I can’t believe that it’s already October. The cool weather is really settling in Brooklyn and I’m pulling out the scarves, jackets, and hot cups of tea. It’s my favorite time of the year and it’s also the perfect reason to go out and read (more than I usually do).
P.S. I Like You by Kasie West (5/5 stars) – I got this book in my Owlcrate box in August, but haven’t had the chance to read it until now. This was such a sweet little read. I love doing “in-betweeners,” which are books that you read to separate out some of the more heavy and serious reads. Not to say that this book isn’t serious. It’s the kind of book that doesn’t remind you of the strife and struggle of reality. I don’t know if you deal with this kind of thing, but when I read too many serious books I get some serious anxiety about life. When you’re so enveloped by a book, you forget what’s reality and what’s the fiction and in those situations, the anxiety is real. If you haven’t felt anxiety after reading a serious book then you’ve got a stronger mind than me.
One True Loves by Taylor Jenkins Reid (4.5/5 stars) – I was reading One True Loves as another “in-betweener” because I wasn’t ready to read something serious yet. However, as I got into it, I realized that this was a bit more serious. Dead husbands and finding love and finding old loves again. Those kinds of conversations are reserved for the reality of the world and not the fun world of “in-betweeners.” But I fell in love with this book the way Emma, the main character, fell in love twice. No spoilers here, but it’s really difficult to choose someone you want to be with when you have feelings for more than one person. I will keep the rest to myself, but I strongly suggest this book.
Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi (5/5 stars) – Alright, when I talk about serious books, this is a serious book. However, it’s an important book and something I think everyone should read. If you’ve ever asked yourself what your ethnicity and heritage/background is, then you should read this book. Coming from a very family-centric environment, it was frustrating for me to read about a family lineage where it gets so muddled because of something as barbaric as slavery and war. It reminds me of the Syrian refugees ripped from their families and their homes. I think with modern technology they may be able to be together again, but back in the 19th century, that wasn’t an option. It brings a sad tear to my eye knowing that some families will never be together again. Everyone should read this if only to value the families they have.
The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison (4/5 stars) – I read this one for Banned Books Week. There is something about Toni Morrison’s voice that compels me to read more and pushes me away from her. Her words are haunting and visceral like looking at a surrealist painting. The Bluest Eye is the first novel she’s published and if you’ve ever struggled with your own identity and accepting who you are, then you should definitely read this book. In the end, the moral of the story is that you shouldn’t struggle to try and be something you’re not. Love yourself for who you are and enjoy your youth as much as you can.

This was my first outing with LYN member at Tanjung Bungah beach. I was so shy to talk but anyway it seems fun BBQ with them met some Penang DSLR kaki.
I gotto spam more on the Penang thread already. Know some of the members ID, but not all. Actually it’s Matthiew and Sher Ren that ask me to go but in the end they came late and I went back early. Too bad.
Sky was pretty dark I afraid that it will rain, luckily no rain at all. Just some drizzle at some times.
2 fish balls and a sausage. LOL. Chicken wings, sausages, fish balls, jagung, meat and hams. Anyway, I still don’t know the food I ate last night whether it’s fully cooked or not. No lao sai (diarrhea) today so I think it’s OK. Haha.
I noticed that the beach is free for BBQ, no need to rent the place or pit. Just dig a hole, place some wiring net, charcoals and start BBQ. Now I know where to do free BBQ already. My apartment’s BBQ pit rental fee is RM30, expensive right?

The World Health Organization Expert Committee on Drug Dependence’s (ECDD) cannabis recommendations has released a new report, which had been expected in December, saying it believes cannabis and its extracts should be rescheduled to a less restrictive category.
The CND (United Nations Commission on Narcotic Drugs) had been expected to consider rescheduling cannabis in March 2019 at its annual meeting, but the delay in receiving the ECDD recommendations may push that consideration into 2020 to provide additional time for member states to review them.
The ECDD previously finalized the critical review of pure CBD, recommending it not to be scheduledwithin the drug control conventions.

Why scale the tasks downward? Because in my experience, students have a hard time with [summarizing], and if they can't summarize well, they can't interpret, analyze, or just plain describe well, either. Added to that, in most workplaces (as far as I am aware), summary will be the most common writing task they will be obligated to complete.
Interesting points. It could be added, I think, that good summarizing actually requires a certain level of critical thinkingor at least heightens analytical engagement. That's been my experience, anyway.

May 1st. Standing in front of the Foreign Office in the London sunshine I shivered at the memory of the massacre of Ein El Zeytoun 65 years ago.
Engulfed in sadness and the memory of what has been lost and destroyed, I started to reflect on the dishonourable role the British establishment played and is still playing in the catastrophe that continues to unfold in Palestine. What we call Al Nakba.
Many believe that Al Nakba started in 1948. Having seen the award-winning and eye-opening documentary on Al Jazeera ‘Al Nakba’, first aired in 2008 and now being repeated, I beg to differ. If the Nakba signifies the expulsion of Palestinians and seizure of their land by force, then the ‘Nakba’ began long before 1948.
“Please advise Dr Hertzl not to make any serious move in this matter. I cannot give up even one small patch of land in Palestine. It is not something that I own as a part of my personal estate. Palestine in fact belongs to the Muslim Nation as a whole.
Hebrew became an official language, a separate Jewish education system was set up, Jewish ministries of energy, water and power were established and most crucial of all, the establishment of a Jewish army, with access to British training and equipment. The town of Tel Aviv was given autonomous status. During Samuel’s tenure Jewish immigration to Palestine was growing at a break-neck speed. But it reached its peak in 1933 when more than 175,000 Jews emigrated to Palestine. All of this was happening while the Palestinians were denied any freedom or civil rights.
And this wasn’t a Nakba?
Nevertheless the atrocities continued. Thousands were arrested and hundreds were murdered. Houses were demolished and life was made impossible for the Palestinians.
Even Qassim al-Husseini, the 80 year old former Mayor of Jerusalem was beaten so badly by the British soldiers that he died from his wounds.
By this time the British Government, exhausted and fraying at the edges decided to cut and run, abandoning their moral and legal duties towards Palestine. They left the unprotected civilian population to the mercy of the Zionist forces.

Serena Williams remains on course to defend her Australian Open title after comfortably reaching the third round.
(CNN) -- Defending champion Serena Williams swept into the Australian Open third round with a 6-2 6-1 win over unseeded teenager Petra Kvitova in little over an hour on Thursday.
It was a wholly dominant display from the world number one, who dropped just three points on her first serve while winning more than half of the points on Kvitova's service.
Williams is chasing a fifth Melbourne title and ominously for her rivals said she was already nearing peak form and fitness.
"I thought I was a little bit better than my first round match," said Williams, who had come into the tournament under a fitness cloud after limping through her defeat against Elena Dementieva in the final at Sydney last week.
"I felt like I was moving better and I had better energy. I just felt all around a lot better. I don't think I'm that far from full fitness and I felt like I could have actually played a lot better," she told reporters.
Williams will next play 32nd seed Carla Suarez Navarro, who beat Germany's Andrea Petkovic 6-1 6-4.
Sixth seed Venus Williams, who is chasing her first Australian Open title at the age of 29, claimed her second consecutive straight-sets win as she was similarly untroubled by Sybille Bammer 6-2 7-5.
It was the second left-hander Williams has played and she will meet another in the last 32 after unseeded Australian Casey Dellacqua defeated Karolina Sprem 7-6 7-6.
Meanwhile, former world number one Ana Ivanovic continued her disappointing grand slam form since winning the 2008 French Open as she was bundled out by 36th-ranked Gisela Dulko 6-7 7-5 6-4.
It is the seventh major in succession the Serbian has failed to get past the fourth round and she admitted her growing frustration at the early exits.
"It hurts, I must say," she told reporters. "I think I just have to be patient. It will take some time. I do feel better on the court. I feel like my old self.
"There are still some areas that are not there for me to rely on when I need them the most. Some matches it's there, some not."
Fourth seed Caroline Wozniacki played for the second consecutive day but showed no ill-effects with a trouble-free 6-3 6-1 win over Germany's Julia Goerges.
Belarus' Victoria Azarenka reached the third round of a grand slam for the 11th consecutive occasion with a simple 6-4 6-0 victory over Stefanie Voegele, while Agnieszka Radwanska, the 10th seed, and 17th seed Francesca Schiavone both had straight-sets wins and will now meet in the third round.
Australia's top hope Samantha Stosur (13) will avoid a seed in the next round after the Queenslander beat Kristina Barrois 7-5 6-3.
Unseeded Italian Alberta Brianti lies in waits for Stosur after she upset 21st seed Sabine Lisicki 2-6 6-4 6-4.
Other seeded players to progress were China's Na Li (16), Daniela Hantuchova (22) and Shahar Peer (29).

How a company starts doesn’t matter much as how it grows. Most of the companies with big names today started small, but they kept their move steady. Fortress Investment Group is among the reputable companies that show how great a company or business can be through proper management. The company was started in 1998, and it has become a global private equity group today. Fortress Investment generates its revenues from permanent capital vehicles and asset management. The company had assets worth 400 dollars when it started, but its three co-founders could see the company hit the billion-bracket someday. The three great business leaders had a huge vision for the company, and they were working round the clock to realize it.
Every great thing you see starts from somewhere. The company took only five years to have assets worth 3 billion dollars. It proved to the society that the co-founders were visionary leaders who could not settle for anything short of the main dream they had. The financial background of the three co-founders was substantial to the growth Fortress Investment Group has experienced. The permanent investment vehicles of Fortress Group are spread out in real estate, media, infrastructure, and transport. Companies appearing on the stock exchange list and those wholly owned are part of the permanent investment vehicles. Fortress group could be the majority shareholder or a section of the management team.
A company shows remarkable growth through its ability to diversify in different sectors. Fortress Investment Group has diversified in a great way, and it is nurturing many other subsectors under its umbrella. Looking at the company’s private equity, credit, or permanent investment vehicles, you could confirm its diversification strength. The company has about 915 employees in different operation sections. Although every subsector of Fortress Group has been doing well, the Credit Subsector has surpassed the management team’s expectations by far. This subsector has handled deals worth over 100 billion dollars.
The deals of the credit subsector of this company involve distressed investments, undervalued assets, loans, and illiquid investments. The deals of this company have become lucrative although this couldn’t be seen coming at the beginning. Fortress Investment Group was listed on the NYSE in 2007 as a public company. It took the company only one year to sell about eight percent of its shares to the public. The company became a private entity again in 2017 after Softbank acquired it. Most great companies go the acquisition way when expanding their operations and business base.
Chris Burch is one of the leading business leaders in the world today. He continually works on new business projects. He is the owner of the Nihiwatu Resort. The Nihiwatu Resort is one of the most prestigious hotels in the world. Located on an island off the coast of Indonesia, it is the perfect place for people to go and relax.
Chris has always wanted to manage his own company. While attending Ithaca College, he started a fashion company with his brother. The company only sold one product, which was a sweatshirt. However, the company was financially successful. He decided to let his brother manage the company so he could focus on other projects.
When he started earning an income, Chris decided to invest in real estate. He learned about real estate investing from his father. His father was a successful business owner, but he was able to amass substantial wealth from real estate investments.
Chris enjoys buying homes to rent to tenants. During his career, he has amassed an impressive real estate portfolio.
Several years ago, Chris decided to start building hotels. Hotels are much riskier than buying a home. Hotels require a substantial loan from a bank, and few banks are willing to lend out that much money.
After several successful ventures with hotels, Chris started planning the Nihiwatu Resort. Although the resort took several years to complete, he is proud of everything that he accomplished (businessinsider.com).
Chris is always willing to consider a new business opportunity. He worked on a recent project with various celebrities. He owns a substantial position in Voss Water, and he thinks that business owners should do more to help those around them. He donates millions of dollars each year to charities that he cares about. Anyone wanting to learn about business should read about his career.
Christopher Burch is a famous entrepreneur who founded the Burch Creative Company. He named this company after his name. Before launching the Burch Company, he had worked in many companies where he had led to their success. As a result, he went a step further to start his own company, “Burch Creative” with the aim of improving the entrepreneurial values, creating more market opportunities, creativity, invention and innovation in the business to increase the level of consumer satisfaction (http://www.burchcreativecapital.com/).
Christopher stands as a role model to the existing, new and prospective entrepreneurs portrays the values of a typical successful entrepreneur which they should follow to realize profits in their investments. They should enhance proper communication between the entrepreneur and his clients. While working on the clients work, plans should be laid down well in an appropriate manner starting from the very first step of the work up to the very last stage including the expected outcome. In case of any changes in the plan, the entrepreneur should let the client know immediately.
To a serious entrepreneur, every day should be a school day. Research is one of the most crucial tools to succeed in business. Entrepreneurs should research such issues such as the daily market trends, price fluctuations, government regulations, the nature of the market demand and supply, new products in the market and many more (inc.com). This helps the entrepreneur to keep updated to ensure he does not offer products that are out of date.
Christopher Burch created a lot of network with other entrepreneurs to ensure no work is left undone and still in the process he was able to learn from them since he knew he was not perfect and was always ready to learn new ideas each day. Networking in business enables an entrepreneur to delegate work to other people. In the case that he is offered a job that he may not have any idea about, he may transfer the action to some else who is good at it. Also in the case, the work is too much that he may not be able to complete it alone, through networking he can delegate some of that work to other people. As a result, the customers are served on time without delays. More reading on ideamensch.com.
Chris Burch was born in the 3rd month of 1958 and since then, he happens to be possessing great business energy. He has been able to manage his brands through the famous Burch Creative Capital where he happens to be the CEO and also the chairman. All his investments are managed by the aforementioned company which has been able to account for billions of profits. The company has majored in brand development and also venture investments. He is also the co-founder of Tory Burch LLC and by 2012, he had already been confirmed as an American based billionaire by Forbes Magazine. He was able to leap big in the industries because of his diversified investments. He had invested with the renowned Guggenheim Partners and that is where his net worth was coming from. For an overview of the diversity of his business investments, check burchcreativecapital.com.
Chris Burch’s early life was quite different and his priorities in life were not like those of other people. He was raised in Pennsylvania from a middle-class family. He grew up with desires to make it in his dreams and was always a business minded person even while in school. He started by first venturing into the Fashion industry. His first business was selling sweaters while in school and later selling them to the campus students. That was back then at Ithaca College where he seemed more interested in business. Together with his brother Robert, they decided to invest $2,000 dollars that made them start Eagle’s Eye an investment that was able to expand within a very short time. More to read here. The company was able to expand within a very short period and expanded greatly.
Read his views on business related matters on entrepreneur.com.
Chris Burch later sold the company to Swire Group and was able to get a lot of money to venture into other industries. He joined his wife Tory Burch who was a professional fashion designer and they established a great business. He became the co-chairman of the company. That is when he started developing an interest in the real estate business. He started looking for great partnerships and they launched the great Faena Hotel + Universe together with Alan Faena and Philippe Stark. His dreams became true when he bought Nihiwatu from Indonesia. For a tour to one of his awesome investment, hit this link on businessinsider.com.

The last 8 years have seen a revolution in approved cancer treatments, based on the development of medicines that arouse our immune systems to attack and eliminate our own cancer cells. These breakthroughs in immunotherapy of cancer were based on a deep understanding of the immune system itself, coupled with the first direct evidence that immune responses that attack human cancers occur naturally, albeit weakly. The treatments amplify natural immune responses against cancer, and are effective in some types of cancer, leading effectively to cures in many patients. They are less effective or not effective in many other types of cancer. The success has galvanized major new efforts by researchers and drug companies alike to develop complementary and more broadly effective medications to treat other types of cancer. The talk will describe how these medicines work, their current limitations, and the prospects for novel and more effective immunotherapy approaches, including those based on research in the speaker’s laboratory.

There is widespread agreement that the nature of mind is among the greatest mysteries in contemporary science: who are we as conscious beings and how do we relate to the physical world we find ourselves in? How does our mind / consciousness relate to our brain and body? Questions concerning the nature of mind can easily evoke associations to spirit and soul, and the many emotional reactions people may have in response to these notions. This can bring us close to what is often considered the domain of religion (and apparently outside the domain of science), a proximity that can be disturbing to some. I argue that the science of mind is poised at a revolutionary turning point, with profound implications for an evolving dialogue between science and spiritual / religious traditions. Indeed, I view this evolving dialogue as perhaps the major challenge of our present era.
The injustices of the American criminal justice system are blatant, confirming the common sense prejudice that poor people are the most criminal, the most dangerous, the most deserving of social exclusion and persistent distrust. Under the Trump administration, law and order policies have intensified, but they have a long, bipartisan history. Drawing upon his latest book, Beyond These Walls: Rethinking Crime and Punishment in the United States, Tony Platt also explores the long history of efforts by reformers and activists to change the inequities that permeate policing, courts, and prisons. They have mostly failed, and in some cases resulted in the expansion of the net of social control. We need bold new ideas and a strategic vision of what it will take to achieve justice for all in this era of authoritarian disorder.
Climate change is a pressing and urgent global issue and a challenge that needs planet and human focused solutions. Join UC Berkeley’s Director of Sustainability and UC Berkeley’s Executive Director, Center for Environmental Public Policy, for a lively discussion highlighting policy and implementation action happening in the state, bay area cities, and the UC system to reduce carbon emissions.
The state has signed into law numerous policies designed to reduce greenhouse gas emission from buildings, industrial processes, vehicles, agricultural and solid waste management, electric power and fossil fuel production and freight transport. Those policies are continuously evolving to reflect change in technology, markets and public opinion In similar suit, UC Berkeley and the UC system have pledged to be carbon neutral from building and fleet energy use by 2025 and from transportation and other sources by 2050. The presenters will cover what is underway in green building, energy efficiency, clean electricity, resource management, and behavior-based programs, and how these can help meet these ambitious but achievable goals.
Linda Rugg will be this year's recipient of the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute's Excellence in Teaching and Learning award. This award is given annually to a UC Berkeley faculty member who teaches at OLLI and who has demonstrated an ongoing commitment to engaged learning, both in the classroom and in the world outside the university.
This talk will discuss REMEMBERING, my recently published book, and answer questions about memory and the aging brain. Central to REMEMBERING is H.M., an ordinary man who devoted his life to helping scientists understand his amnesia, trusting in their promise that what they learned about him would “help others.” REMEMBERING fulfills that promise for readers wishing to maintain the everyday functioning of memory, mind and brain (their own or others’). It also reveals the profound importance of memory for all that makes a normal human mind and brain worth having: creative expression, artistic endeavors, awareness, the ability to plan, comprehend sentences, appreciate humor, imagine hypothetical situations, and perceive novelty in the world.

Of course, the birth of the Messiah was yet in front of him, but the hard work of creating Israel from Abraham (and everything that included), was done! King David could understand Psalm 2 from his perspective knowing that God had already been faithful because of all the things He had promised and brought to the fore.

SoCal Mom Expo October 25-26, 2013 Be There!
Ladies and tiny people, we would like to make an ANNOUNCEMENT...mommytrain.com is an official Mom Expo sponsor! And we are totally going to be there! And we want to meet you and your precious baby urchins! This event is in line with everything we want to do. It’s about education and fun and connection, and the kids get to run around and do storytime and crafts while the mamas look at pretty tote bags and talk to child care experts and other mommies. Naturally, we had to crash that party. And you can come too! Admission is only $5 per adult, and $16 for four adults, and that covers both days! You could hang out with us TWICE. But wait… There’s more… We want you to come so much that we will give you tickets. For reals. Just show up to one of our awesome events (click here), and we’ll hand you two tickets in an adorable gift bag. Or simply like our Facebook page click here and leave a comment with your email address and how many tickets you would like, and we’ll send them to you! Just come. You know you want to. The theme is Positive Affirmations of A Mother’s Journey. Because, I mean, who couldn’t use some positive affirmation on their mommy trip? So stop by our awesome booth, and we will positively affirm the crap out of you, and tell you all about the amazing things that mommytrain.com is about to start. You need to know this stuff.
Forget the planned activities, the crying, the stress of chasing your toddler around as she tries to bite your girlfriend’s son on the ankle. This is a whole new kind of playdate. The kind you don’t have to supervise. Imagine… you drop your kids off in the cozy indoor playground on the bottom floor, and you leave the room. It’s okay, because there are trained, backgroundchecked, kidloving staff down there who will make sure your tot not only keeps his teeth off his neighbor, but has a great time, too.
Meanwhile, you head upstairs to the place of mommy legend: The Lounge. The quiet, wifi equipped, coffee lounge, with easy chairs and a mysterious lack of whining, plus adult company with other moms who will laugh at your lost diaper story and cry with you over the loss of your bikini belly. These moms are here for the exact same reasons you are, fun for the kids and restoration for the mamas. This is the beauty of Pamper & Play. And that is not all. Oh, no, that is not all.
There is also Parents’ Night Out, when you get to drive away from the building and do whatever the heck you want for four hours. Hit the spa. Date your husband. Buy groceries the way you used to, with an unchewed list and unbroken concentration. Whatever floats your boat.
The kids will be busy learning yoga or art or science, eating pizza, or doing crafts and water play outside, while you do what you despaired of ever doing again take care of you. Even if you don’t want to travel so far away from your urchins, there happens to be a lovely salon one door down, where you can get your hair cut in peace by a real stylist, which is about 45 times better than a fouryearold with safety scissors.
How did Pamper & Play happen? Owner Carole Cablk noticed a common thread in local supervised play venues. The kids may have been having a blast, but the moms… not so much. Often they had no place to sit except for the front sidewalk or a hard bench, where they whipped out their smart phones and took advantage of the downtime as best they could. Suddenly the need became obvious a place where moms could feel welcome and nurtured and comfortable enough to make friends at the same time their kids did. A place with cushions and caffeine and wifi. And Carole could make the best use of her natural love of kids by building the most safe, fun, nurturing indoor playground in West L.A.
So there you have it. No excuses for that impending breakdown that you’ve felt coming on slowly for weeks now. Head it off with a mommyfriendly playdate, class, or party at Pamper & Play. No one will bite. Not even your kid.
One birthday party venue that won’t make you cry.
At mommytrain.com, we are all about the easy, the practical, the yes: I baked these myself! (in the trunk of the car). That’s why we had to tell you about Sophie’s birthday party at Art Zone, West Los Angeles. Because, people, this place is genius.
To start off, the kids cannot get bored. There’s no way. We had twelve children and four babies on hand, and they were hopping nonstop.
Art Zone’s amazing staff kept them occupied with creative activities like clay projects, water paint, green goop, squeegee paint, shaving cream, glitter hand-prints, and more. When they weren’t making messes, they ran around the two-story playhouse with a fire pole, play kitchen, jump through windows, reading nook, and dress up supplies.
Two hours total, from setup to see ya, for an awesome children’s party in an air conditioned venue in West Los Angeles. How’s that?
But the best part of all… Grownup time. That’s right. We found a birthday party venue where parents can sit around and talk. Coherently. And sip cocktails. Alcohol, people. Alcohol and adult conversation at a kid’s birthday party. You in now?

A feel-good way to get rid of those pesky €500s!
Most do not accept higher then 200€.
And we are not allergic to cards, we just don't see any sense in paying money to carry around an additional piece of plastic to make a firm make money from our personal data.
At least that is what I want to believe.
You cannot compare to e.g. USA. Here you maybe get 1% "payback" in useless stuff. USA I know some things like gas can even give you 4% or 5% in "cash".
Take it to Switzerland - it's no big deal there to by a SFr 2. loaf of bread with a 500 note!
I had that problem in Shanghai, the smallest bill produced by ATM was larger than whatever the metro ticket machine would accept.
In Germany you'll have problems with 500 euro bills (or sometimes 200 euro) in shops, you can only bring them to the bank.
Germans seem to be allergic to paying with cards? Really? I didn't know about that! Thanks for the information! The tip is good for those who plan their visit to German!
I did get a laugh out of this cartoon - recognition humour:-) I lived in Frankfurt, the financal heart of Germany, for 25+ years and can say the following: given that I was working as a freelance teacher, I don't think I ever got to see a EUR500 note (!), but if I had, I would have been hesitant about trying to "break" it in small or even middle-sized shops - I can imagine I'd have been asked "Don't you have anything smaller?" I would have saved it till I was in a large depsrtment store and even then I would have apologised profusely for offering it. One or two local corner shops and restaurants didn't yet have card readers but they were very much the exception rather than the rule. Over my quarter century there, I weaned myself off cheques onto paying by debit card in shops and by credit transfers for paying bills.

Astronomy Israel: "Toto, We're Not in Kansas Anymore"
Image via WikipediaPeople from Kansas do not find this line funny. I had the opportunity to discover this myself when I went star gazing with two groups from the Kansas Jewish Federation last week. The first group was the leadership group of the Jewish Federation and the second was the Federation group itself. I had been scheduled to do a star tour for the second group but was called by Ken Sonnenschein of the leadership group when he got to Mitzpe Ramon looking for a green laser pointer. Ken is an amateur astronomer in his own right and was scheduled to do his own star tour with his group in Mitzpe Ramon. I rounded up a green laser pointer for Ken and helped him find a site suitable for doing star gazing with a large number of people. I had been struggling with this myself, since I was to do my own tour with the second Federation group later that week. I usually go out with smaller groups of 2-12, but this was to be a group of around 40. I finally decided to give the natural amphitheater behind Har Gamal a try. It looks out on a precipitous drop of 750 feet into the crater, protected only by a green guard rail. Of course, at night you can't tell this, which is probably just as well. It's not as dark as my regular observing site, but it works well for large groups who can sit on the curved amphitheater rocks and look down on a roman-style amphitheater stage. I've always wanted to produce Shakepspeare here in the summer, but star shows at night are just as good, especially when I get to take center stage and do my own.
Ken had prepared a very nice star show complete with his own d'var torah on "ein mazal l'Yisrael" (the saying that "Jewish destiny is not controlled by the stars") and pointing out that at critical points in Jewish history the Jews are shown the stars, yet their destiny transcends the controlling force of the stars, or nature and necessity. ("Everything is foreseen; yet free will is given," R. Akiva, Pirke Avot).
I was on-hand to point out a few extra celestial wonders to Ken and the group, but he did well on his own. The following Saturday night I took out the second Kansas group. We managed to get everyone out to the amphitheater, including one gentleman who walked with a cane due to a hip replacement problem. No one fell into the Machtesh! It was cold that night, the wind blew hard, and my ears ached from it a few days after. Most of the group escaped before I could get a photo of them in situ, but I caught up with them later at the CafeNeto where we took this picture.
A few members of the Kansas Jewish Federation leadership group. Ken Sonnenschein to my left.
By the time you read this, they will be back in Kansas, Toto.
I love astronomy. Love watching stars in sky. Thay are so amazing that I believe I can not live with them.

How was your holiday season? I think we did really well for our first ZW Christmas.
My grandma came out to visit and we had a lot of fun. I think she enjoyed delving into the ZW lifestyle for a week. She doesn't like sending me checks; because, I save them instead of spend them. So, instead she said she'd donate to habitat for humanity in my name in the future which thrills me!!
All together we wound up with two boxes and some brown craft paper for recycling, one gift bag (will reuse), and a small handful of wrapping paper which will have to be thrown away.
I'm excited to report almost all presents came without any wrapping. I received a total of 27 jars - so anyone reading this, I think I'm set on jars for life. I got a new snuggly blanket, loafers, and a beautiful container for foundation. And, Justin and I both got each other pizza stones. Seriously what are the odds!?
We also bought each other experiences. I bought him a plane ticket to see his family, and he got me: an old fashion movie with orchestra accompaniment, repaired my sewing machine, and a date to go cactus shopping, plus a couple other things. I had several cactai in our old sun room, until one white husky decided to destroy all of the planters.
I gave my friends homemade body butter and soap. (both of those recipes coming soon) My mom got a second hand silver charm, and my dad got two handmade mugs.
I'm so looking forward to the new year! I have so many projects I'm excited to share with you. Let's have fun zero wasting in 2016.
Our new years plans include staying in, testing out pizza stones, and watching movies. I will report back on which one makes the better pizza! What are your new year plans? Did you have a low or zero waste Christmas?

A US ride-services firm has bolstered its attempts to compete for market share with its fierce and larger rival Uber Technologies Inc. by raising $600m in fresh funding. Lyft which was launched in 2012 - has continued to invest in its growth in order to expand its services. This year, the company has extended its services to 100 new cities.
However, the announcement of Lyft's latest funding round is yet another indication of its clear desire to continue its efforts to wrestle market share in the ride-hailing services industry from its rivals. Lyft is recognized as Uber's No.1 competitor - and some analysts believe now is the opportune time for the organization to increase the pressure on Uber who have endured a number of setbacks in recent months.
It has been disclosed that the $600m raised by Lyft came mostly from large global investment funds rather than startups traditional funding source of venture capital. The latest funding drive now leaves the organization which is headquartered in San Francisco with a valuation of $7.5 billion - which represents a sharp increase from the $5.5 billion valuation at Lyft previous financing round over a year ago.
In January 2016, Lyft raised $1billion and further disclosed that half of it came from automaker General Motors Co. Sources close to Lyft have suggested that the funding total and valuation exceeds previous targets - and added that the company was aiming to raise $500m at a valuation of $6billion to $7 billion.
The latest round of funding by Lyft has seen previous investors such as Japanese internet company Rakutan Inc. and investment fund Janus Capital Group Inc. to reinvest in the firm. In addition to this, first-time Lyft investors included private equity firm KKR & Co - large asset manager Baillie Gifford - and one of Canada's largest pension funds the Public Sector Pension Investment Board.
Analysts have suggested this funding round by Lyft is representative of a broader trend of how pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, family offices and large asset manager that would have traditionally invested in public companies are now putting more money into private tech startups for better returns.
Lyft remains behind Uber in terms of market share in most regions in the country - but the company revealed that it had completed 70.4 million rides - which is an increase of nearly two-and-a-half times from the same period a year ago. However, Uber stated last month that it reached a record number of weekly rides in the US - despite a barrage of criticism and bad press surrounding the company.

Russ Feingold asks: “How can someone like Immelt be given the responsibility of heading a jobs creation task force when his company has been creating more jobs overseas while reducing its American workforce?"
General Electric CEO Jeffrey Immelt is President Obama’s point person of job creation and economic growth.
While Obama says he wants to encourage the creation of family-supporting jobs and to grow the middle class, Immelt is all about enriching himself and growing the gap between rich and poor.
With all that extra money, Immelt enjoyed a doubling of his personal compensation. Yet, he was not interested in spreading the prosperity. In fact, GE is expected to ask 15,000 of the company’s unionized workers to agree to sweeping cuts in pay and benefits.
Feingold says it is wrong for Immelt to continue as the head of Obama’s Council on Jobs and Competitiveness.
The former senator, via his group Progressives United, and with support from MoveOn.org, has launched a national campaign to urge Immelt to step down—or, failing that, to urge President Obama to remove Immelt.
Obama says he is standing by Immelt. But Obama is wrong, and Feingold is right to ramp up the pressure on the president.
