Interest in Bitcoin Futures, more specifically the number of Bitcoin futures contracts, has exceeded 2400, an increase of nearly 60% over the first quarter of 2018.
The rise in CME’s BTC Futures is also reflected in the increase in the volume of derivatives markets. In a recent press release it was announced that the average daily volume increased by 13% to over 4 million contracts.
The CME Group launched Bitcoin futures on in December 2018. However, Bitcoin futures continue to be a hot topic of discussion in the Bitcoin community. Above all, many think that BTC futures could manipulate the Bitcoin price.
Bitcoin Futures had already been traded for years on unregulated Bitcoin broker sites like on BitMEX. This is one of the most popular trading sites for Bitcoin and major altcoins as you can learn on http://www.bitcointradingsites.net/broker/bitmex-com/.
However, those markets hadn’t been usable for big traditional investors, that’s why those BTC Futures hadn’t been traded by institutions.
The interest in the Bitcoin futures shows the interest of traditional investors wishing to enter the crypto market. Coinbase has recently launched a solution for institutional investors: a USD 20 billion hedge fund hedged by Coinbase for investors.
The extreme volatility of the crypto market is more than attractive to investors. They can benefit from price fluctuations via futures contracts.
Due to this interest, a Bitcoin ETF will now follow, which has been applied for by the CBOE. So far, public comments on this ETF application have been more than positive.
The result could be one of the biggest Bitcoin Bull runs in history. The decision will be made around 15 August. Until then, the question remains how likely a Bitcoin ETF is at all.
BlackRock Inc – the world’s largest provider of Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) – recently announced that an internal group has been formed looking for ways to integrate cryptocurrencies into the business model.
Unlike futures contracts, ETF providers would have to buy the underlying, i.e. Bitcoin. This removes liquidity from the market and increases demand for the digital currency.
Did Futures End The Bitcoin Rally In 2017?
The rapid run and subsequent fall in prices following the introduction of futures does not appear to be a coincidence, but is in line with the trading behaviour typically associated with the introduction of futures markets for an asset.
While many suspect that the Bitcoin futures have negatively affected the price, an analysis suggests that the futures have had and continue to have virtually no impact on the Bitcoin price. In fact, futures trading only has an impact of 0.009 percent on the price of BTC.
Using the real estate market crisis and the devaluation of the Japanese stock market in the 1990s as examples, Fed economists point out that new financial instruments have a record number of deflating financial bubbles. In this case, when enthusiastic investors drove up Bitcoin’s price, the futures market opened up and pessimists were able to bet their money against the cryptocurrency for the first time.
Bitcoin’s rapid rise in 2017 brought public attention to cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology, which was good for the growth of the emerging blockchain sector. Some analysts have argued that the turbulent 2018 market will end up being good for the future of cryptocurrencies as weak coins die and disappear and established ones continue to rise, similar to the dotcom era.
Regarding the future of cryptocurrencies you can read this interesting forecast: https://www.finder.com/cryptocurrency-predictions.
What Actually Is A Future?
A futures contract is a forward contract with which commodities or financial products are traded at a predetermined price at a certain future point in time, i.e. sold or disposed of. Forward contracts are used on the one hand to hedge against price fluctuations.
For example, airlines can protect themselves against the negative consequences of price fluctuations in kerosene. What is required is at least a clear opinion on future price developments. In theory, this should make trading quieter and the future more predictable for companies.
Due to their design, however, futures are also ideally suited for speculation. Due to the leverage effect, strong profits are possible – but above all also losses that can massively exceed the input value.
And trading has not yet become more quiet so far. The price of the forward contract, which runs until mid-January, shot up by a good quarter last Monday. The CBOE had to interrupt trading temporarily. After all, the price differences at Bitcoin on various trading platforms, some of which have been very high so far, have diminished somewhat.

Italian Journal of Geosciences (2008) 127 (1): 163-171.
Valley-blocking landslides are comparatively common in the deep and narrow glaciated valley of the Italian Dolomites. There are numerous instances of such landslides in the historical record, and some that have survived to the present day (i.e. have not been overtopped, of if overtopped, have not been removed) with a surviving lake. The hydraulic head differential across these dams, or dam remnants, is frequently exploited for hydroelectric power generation. The paper gives a review-of some landslide dams in the course of the rivers Piave, Cordevole and Tagliarnen to and in-an abandoned former course of the river Piave, showing how the river morphology is modified by landslide dams, and how-this facilitated the development of hydropower there. The paper considers the survival of landslide dams to the present day, and the factors that give rise to that survival.

We love to get to know a country inside out, so we’ve searched high and low to find the hot-spots away from the tourist trail, so you can discover the real Thailand. Experience the thriving night markets and street food scenes of Bangkok, bathe and feed elephants in the north, and explore the southern islands by boat. You’ll be charmed by this magical country on this luxury 12 night cultural and beach holiday in the aptly named land of smiles.
You’ll fly into Bangkok, where you’ll be VIP fast-tracked out of the airport and straight to your stunning hotel, the Peninsula. Located down by the river, the city centre and all the sites are just a boat ride from the hotel’s dock. The city has more than 400 beautiful temples waiting to be explored. If that’s not enough we’ve also picked out some more unusual activities for you to do during your stay.
For an overall introduction to the local side of the city, we’ll take you on a multi-transport adventure around the capital. You’ll be whizzed around in every form of local transport from tuk-tuks to bikes to see the sights. We’ll make sure you get to see the must-sees such as the Grand Palace and the Emerald Buddha and you’ll be taken through some of the rambling side streets and remote canals of Old Bangkok which are often overlooked by tourists.
To really get under the skin of buzzing Bangkok we’ll arrange a headlights tour to explore the city’s cultural offerings by night. This is one tour for the art buffs, as you’re taken through historic districts and bustling market areas to see local artisans and crafts. The architecture of the city is unbelievably beautiful in the moonlight. After cocktails and sampling the street food, you’ll end up in the famous red-light market district before heading back for a restful night’s sleep at your hotel.
After a few days in Bangkok, we’ll take you to the north of Thailand, to Chiang Mai. Until 1920 this dazzling city was only reachable by river or rocky elephant trek, but luckily it’s now just a short flight from Bangkok. You can still feel its secluded charm as you wander through the picturesque streets. Here, you’ll stay at one of our favourite sanctuaries; 137 Pillars House.
Over the next few days you’ll learn how to make authentic Thai dishes from scratch, meet local monks at Wat Chedi Luang and watch the sunset over the city at Wat Doi Suthep. We recommend delving into Chiang Mai Night Market during a cool evening, or two, for a spot of shopping and to taste local street food delights. We can arrange a day spent bonding with the elephants at Patara Elephant Sanctuary where you’ll learn how to feed and bathe these gentle giants, as well as the subtle verbal and physical commands required for the drive. A cycle tour around the surrounding countryside is the perfect way to end your trip to Chiang Mai. Zipping along flat roads and mild hills you’ll be able to enjoy the lush valleys and mountain landscapes dotted with local shrines. Take one last breath of the fresh mountain air before heading back south, and on to your beachside paradise.
A quick flight down to Phuket and an hours drive will take you to the exotic Sarojin Resort. Camouflaged by mangrove trees, the Sarojin overlooks the Andaman Sea and immaculate beaches. Immerse yourself in the area’s natural beauty and head underwater to one of the world’s best diving locations. Then roam through the rainforest and spot the fantastic tropical birds. For a romantic evening, we can organize a private candlelit dinner next to a jungle waterfall or a sunset cruise on the Sarojin’s private luxury boat, Lady Sarojin.
For your final few nights in Thailand, we’ve saved our favourite idyll till last. On a secluded beach, the Rayavadee is only reachable by speedboat from Krabi pier, which we’ll organize for you. Resting in exotic coconut groves with a backdrop of limestone cliffs, the natural surroundings will make sure that you’re final days are the most relaxing. The Thai cuisine at the Rayavadee is some of the best we’ve ever tasted so enjoy the tropical flavours as your feet rest in the sand. Before you head back home we’d recommend a day or two exploring the rest of the area, head out by kayak around the mangrove forest or be taken by speedboat to Phi Phi Island for an adventure and a romantic evening. For a last flourish, you’ll be taken by longtail boat to Railay Bay. Forgotten by mainstream tourists, but loved by climbers, the island is fantastically secluded; a great place to while your days away and watch the climbers dangle from the limestone cliffs. You’ll be enchanted by everything you’ve seen and reluctant to leave, but we’re sure you’ll be back for more.

Pro-marijuana candidates and reforms succeeded across the country.
Marijuana remains illegal at a federal level, is classified as a Schedule I drug, and is still seen as a “life-wrecking” substance by the country’s attorney general. But cannabis advocates made enormous strides in elections across the country this week. By Wednesday, it became clear that, just like last year, a scattering of marijuana-related reforms occurred throughout the United States, including the election of candidates who want to institute those reforms.
FAIRFAX, VA - NOVEMBER 07: Virginia Governor-elect Ralph Northam waves to supporters at an election night rally November 7, 2017, in Fairfax, Virginia.
Previously, the state’s lieutenant governor, Ralph Northam was elected as the state’s governor on Wednesday with 54 percent of the vote. The Army veteran and pediatrician endorses decriminalizing marijuana and made the issue one of the centerpieces of his campaign. He sees the criminalization of marijuana as a law that “disproportionately hurts people of color” and also believes that the potential health benefits of marijuana are another reason that the substance should be decriminalized.
Democrat Phil Murphy bested Kim Guadagno on Tuesday night to become the governor-elect of New Jersey. This is a big step towards legalizing marijuana in the state — one of Murphy’s campaign promises was making recreational marijuana legal for those 21 years and older.
Men pass a marijuana cigarette to each other during a pro-marijuana rally at Civic Center Park with the Colorado State Capitol building in the background.
The rural city of Rocky Ford, famous for growing melons, voted to allow the retail sale of marijuana — medical marijuana sales were already allowed. Retail marijuana advocates won with 53 percent of the vote. While recreational marijuana is legal on the state level in Colorado, it’s also a “home rule” state, which means local municipalities have the power to adjust legislation to what’s wanted in the district. Many of Colorado’s rural towns have not voted for legal recreational marijuana use.
Voters in Detroit passed two proposals on Tuesday that will help make it easier for marijuana dispensaries to open and operate. Dispensaries in Detroit can now open within 500 feet of another dispensary, open within 500 feet of a religious institution, eliminate a previous ordinance that gave the city’s Board of Zoning Appeals the authority to review applications, and eliminate the requirement that a city hold a public hearing before a dispensary is opened.
While recreational use of marijuana is still illegal in Ohio, the passing of The Athens Cannabis Ordinance reduces the penalties for marijuana misdemeanor crimes. The ordinance, designed to “redirect law-enforcement resources towards more serious and violent crimes,” completely eliminates the fines that were previously in place — $150 for possession of up to 100 grams of marijuana to $250 for 100 to 200 grams.
Pennsylvania’s largest city voted for Lawrence Krasner to be its newest district attorney, a progressive candidate who wants to end mass incarceration. One way to do that, Krasner believes, is to change the way the city handles non-violent crimes, like marijuana possession. His election, which he won with 75 percent of the vote, is seen by marijuana advocates as a positive step towards major cities reforming the way possession of marijuana is interpreted as a crime.

His recent call-up to the latest Nigeria squad was marked by him being listed as a midfielder, despite his original recognition earlier this season being as a defender.
Ajayi will contest a role for upcoming games against Seychelles and Egypt against the likes of Wilfried Ndidi and Peter Etebo.
"I feel very comfortable in midfield," he said. "I've played quite a few games there now and I'm understanding my role more and more every week.
“Richie (Barker) and the gaffer have been really good with me in terms of giving me information to fulfil the role.
“The last camp I went to I came on as a sub and played in midfield and then played 90 minutes at centre-half so the manager (Gernot Rohr) knows I can play in midfield.
He knows I can play multiple positions.
Ajayi is not the only international in the Millers camp as Will Vaulks made an impressive debut for Wales in their late 1-0 win over Trinidad and Tobago.
The midfielder gave a good account of himself and put himself in contention for next week's Euro 2020 qualifier with Slovakia, who have Millers goalkeeper Marek Rodak in their squad.

We are very proactive in placing our homeless pets. We do not adopt on a first-come, first-serve basis. We make sure that the pet being considered for adoption meets the needs of the family as well as the pet. We 'match-make', in a sense.
If we have a pet that has multiple families interested, we will check all fences to make sure they qualify for that pet and then make the best decision regarding the needs of the pet and the potential family. In doing this, we have reduced the rate of return of adopted pets from about 8% to about 2%, so we feel we are doing the right thing.
We also require you to bring any dogs you already have to introduce to the prospective dog to make sure they should get along.
No pet is officially adopted to a particular family until the adoption contract is filled out and the adoption fee is paid. Then the spay or neuter is scheduled, if it hasn't already been done. The Roswell Humane Society will transport the adopted pet to your veterinarian (Roswell only). Adopters will then pick up their new pet from the veterinarian's office after the surgery is completed.We advocate early spaying and neutering. The puppies and kittens that are sterilized young (10-12 weeks old) appear to heal much faster and obesity later in life seems less an issue. If you adopt a puppy or kitten, it will have to stay at the shelter until it is able to be spayed or neutered. Typically, it is not a long wait. They just have to weigh more than 2 pounds and have a set of vaccinationsalready given.
Dogs - $50 (includes parvo/distemper and bordetella vaccines, and wormings).Adopter must pre-pay the spay/neuter at a Roswell vet and bring us the receipt.-so that we may schedule the surgery-to get them home to you! DO NOT PRE-PAY UNTIL ADVISED TO PLEASE.
Adopters MUST have a completely fenced-in yard in order to adopt any dog--no exceptions. We do check.
Cats - $50 ( feline distemper vaccinations, and wormings). Adopter must also pre-pay the spay/neuter at a Roswell vet and bring us the receipt-so that we may schedule the surgery-to get them home to you! DO NOT PRE-PAY UNTIL ADVISED TO PLEASE.
All cats and kittens adopted MUST live as strictly indoor cats.
Any family with children 5 years of age and under are NOT permitted to adopt any puppy or kitten 12 weeks of age or younger.

Well I feel some better today than I did last Sunday. Just got through writing to Virginia and Laurence’s girl. I’m so far behind with my letters I don’t know if I’ll ever catch up.
I haven’t heard if I get to come home with the bunch that leaves Wed or not. I hope not if Virginia can’t be there. I would just as leave wait a week as long as I know they are coming.
I have a letter from Selma and Lois also Bill Morgan and Aunt Rinnie.
I have to press my work cloths so I have something clean to wear tomorrow. We can send laundry away tomorrow so I won’t have to wash tonight.
We had a good dinner today, mashed potatoes and baked chicken. It would have been lots better if it had been cooked at home with a little more seasoning. It sure is a nice day here, but plenty hot.
I guess I’m going to get out of walking so much. Yesterday the Charge of Quarters came in and said I was to report to the Orderly room. I didn’t know what was up so I went over and saluted Capt Winders and said Pvt Slaymaker reporting sir. He ask me some questions about what I did in civilian life. When he got through he said Pvt Slaymaker report to truck driver’s school Monday morning. It will last about 2 weeks so maybe now I’ll have to do a little studying.
The boys here sure have settled down since they found out they aren’t leaving and are getting a furlough.
Well folks guess that’s about all. I still have most of you gum left. Wish I had a secretary for the rest of the afternoon. A special one with brown hair and eyes from Amelia Nebr. Ha! Ha!

BOSTON -- The Federal Bureau of Investigation warned U.S. businesses that hackers have used malicious software to launch a destructive cyberattack in the United States, following a devastating breach last week at Sony Pictures Entertainment.
Cybersecurity experts said the malicious software described in the alert appeared to describe the one that affected Sony, which would mark first major destructive cyberattack waged against a company on U.S. soil. Such attacks have been launched in Asia and the Middle East, but none have been reported in the United States. The FBI report didn't say how many companies had been victims of destructive attacks.
The five-page, confidential "flash" FBI warning issued to businesses late Monday provided some technical details about the malicious software used in the attack. It provided advice on how to respond to the malware and asked businesses to contact the FBI if they identified similar malware.
The FBI released the document in the wake of last Monday's unprecedented attack on Sony Pictures Entertainment, which brought corporate email down for a week and crippled other systems as the company prepares to release several highly anticipated films during the crucial holiday film season.
A Sony spokeswoman said the company had "restored a number of important services" and was "working closely with law enforcement officials to investigate the matter."
The FBI said it is investigating the attack with help from the Department of Homeland Security. Sony has hired FireEye's (FEYE) Mandiant incident response team to help clean up after the attack, a move that experts say indicates the severity of the breach.
While the FBI report didn't name the victim of the destructive attack in its bulletin, two cybersecurity experts who reviewed the document said it was clearly referring to the breach at the California-based unit of Sony (SNE).
"This correlates with information about that many of us in the security industry have been tracking," said one of the people who reviewed the document. "It looks exactly like information from the Sony attack."
FBI spokesman Joshua Campbell declined comment when asked if the software had been used against the California-based unit of Sony, although he confirmed that the agency had issued the confidential "flash" warning, which Reuters independently obtained.
"The FBI routinely advises private industry of various cyber threat indicators observed during the course of our investigations," he said. "This data is provided in order to help systems administrators guard against the actions of persistent cybercriminals."
The FBI typically doesn't identify victims of attacks in those reports.
Monday's FBI report said the attackers were "unknown."
Yet the technology news site Re/code reported that Sony was investigating to determine whether hackers working on behalf of North Korea were responsible for the attack as retribution for the company's backing of the film "The Interview."
The movie, which is due to be released in the United States and Canada on Dec. 25, is a comedy about two journalists recruited by the CIA to assassinate North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. The Pyongyang government denounced the film as "undisguised sponsoring of terrorism, as well as an act of war" in a letter to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in June.
The technical section of the FBI report said some of the software used by the hackers had been compiled in Korean, but it didn't discuss any possible connection to North Korea.

The Federation of Islamic Organisations in Europe (FIOE) received with great sorrow, the news of the death of the French thinker, Roger Garaudy, known to the world as a distinguished philosopher with a life of diverse contributions and interactions across the world. The late Roger Garaudy rose to prominence in the field of thought and philosophy, and for his opinions and stances, won many friends and opponents, from different schools of thought, in the distinct phases of his life. In addition, his embracing of the Islamic religion was a crowning moment in a journey distinguished by ideological diversity, which embodied a special place for him among the Muslims, who saw in him an example of the confluence of civilisations and cultures. Whether people agree or disagree with pioneering thinkers, they cannot in any way ignore the vibrant ideological and human life of a thinker, who spent close to a whole century of our lifetime, with a keen concern for achieving understanding between nations, and interaction between civilizations. The Federation of Islamic Organisations in Europe extends its condolences to the family of the great thinker, Roger Garaudy, his admirers, and the Muslim public in France, on the death of this man who left this world, yet lives on through his works, philosophical legacy, and humane example; we ask Allah, the Almighty, to receive him with His Bountiful Mercy, and to accept him among the righteous.
The best known flare-up of Holocaust denial in the Middle East occurred in response to the trial of Roger Garaudy in France in 1998. Garaudy was charged with violating a 1990 French law that makes it illegal to deny historical events that have been designated as “crimes against humanity,” and with inciting racial hatred. These charges stemmed from his 1995 book, The Founding Myths of Modern Israel (Les mythes fondateurs de la politique israélienne), in which he stated that there was no Nazi program of genocide during World War II, and that Jews essentially fabricated the Holocaust for their financial and political gain. Garaudy was convicted on these charges in 1998. Before, during and after the trial, he was hailed as a hero throughout the countries of the Middle East –the trial was covered by media from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt, Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and the Palestinian Authority. Formerly Roman Catholic and Communist, Garaudy had converted to Islam in 1982, and married a Jerusalem-born Palestinian woman, but this alone did not explain the outpouring of support he received; the “revisionist” message of his book — whose Arabic translation was a best-seller in many of the region’s countries — clearly resonated across the region. The former president of Iran, Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, announced in a sermon on Radio Tehran that his personal scholarship on the subject had convinced him that “Hitler had only killed 20,000 Jews and not six million,” and added that “Garaudy’s crime derives from the doubt he cast on Zionist propaganda.” The main establishment newspaper in Egypt, Al-Ahram, defended Garaudy in a March 14, 1998, article that argued that there is “no trace of the gas chambers” that are supposed to have existed in Germany, and that six million Jews could not have been killed in the Holocaust because “the Jews of Germany numbered less than two million” at the time. Numerous professional and social organizations throughout the region issued statements supporting Garaudy as well, including the Palestinian Journalists’ Syndicate, the Palestinian Writers Association, the Jordanian Arab Organization for Human Rights, the Qatar Women’s Youth Organization, the Federation of Egyptian Writers and the Union of Arab Artists. Support for Garaudy did not end merely with words. Seven members of the Beirut Bar Association volunteered to defend the writer in France, and Egypt’s Arab Lawyers’ Union also dispatched a five-man legal team to Paris in Garaudy’s support. The United Arab Emirates daily, Al-Haleej, was inundated with contributions and messages of support for Garaudy after it published an appeal on his behalf. The most surprising contribution came from the wife of United Arab Emirates leader Sheikh Zayed ibn Sultan al-Nahayan, who gave the equivalent of $50,000, in cash, to cover the maximum fine that Garaudy would be required to pay if found guilty….Possibly inspired by the outpouring of support for Garaudy, other Holocaust deniers have also cultivated contacts in the Muslim world.

I know we are the feistiest two people that can ever live. We brawl with each other; we cry with each other, we laugh with each other and we love each other. You and I both know this for a long time and we have been shy in admitting it. But I guess one of us has to make a move, right? It is all working out more than awesome for me as long as we are together in it.
Life is short and we must tell how we feel because we never know what tomorrow has for us in store. I know that I really like you and I don’t want to be without you. Friendship is the first and last step in love; all we have to do is walk the remaining steps and I know we can do that as long as we have each other. And I also want to tell you that everyone thinks we make a great pair. Let us take our friendship a step forward and make all the world jealous.
This is a sample of Propose day letter.

Thank you for your replies. I see, it's not possible to close the scope-window. I ssh'ed into the phone and killed the process, but it restarted immediately. So i don't have to worry about a desktop-background .
I think these experiences has been known to happen when upgrading with Anbox installed. Maybe a note about this should be added in the Anbox documentation.
This seems to be the source for the old package: https://github.com/ZeroPointEnergy/syncthing-click I looked at it quickly - perhaps it wouldn't be hard to update, as it might just require bumping the relevant version numbers. I've never tried to do anything with Ubuntu Touch packages, so I'm not certain how hard/difficult it might be.
Skype doesn't see the camera on my Pro 5.
On github, I've got a workaround : First, you have to put an url path like file:///phalblet@ubuntu-phalblet:~/Videos/5264921364141179419.mp4 Then, push the Submit url button (the video screen appears) Finally, choose a video with the Select file button Cheers !
Update, finally got round to trying to import the gpx to opentopomap.org directly to morph...works! But performs very sluggishly on my N5. As an alternative, Activity Tracker seems to make trace files ok without draining battery too much and I can import other people's gpx files there too...so problem solved.
For adb to work, you need to enable USB debugging in the UT settings. fastboot should work regardless. The only reason I ever came across for fastboot not to work was hardware, i.e. using a charge-only cable or broken USB port.
Nexus 5 compatibility, does the model matter?

The time stamp on the new connection is showing a CET date and time on up loaded files.
Need it to be EST date and time.
First time using fetch any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for contacting us. I could use more information to help with this problem. What timezone are you in? What timezone is the server in? Could you give a specific example of an incorrect date (e.g. I uploaded a file at local time X, Fetch displayed its modification time as Y, when it should have shown it as Z)?
1:20 AM is 4 hours ahead of 9:20 PM, so it looks like you're getting UTC-1 hour (aka East Greenland Time). Which is quite odd! Could you upload a file again, and then choose "Fetch Transcript" from the Window menu and post the contents, so I can see where that date is coming from?
Also, if you choose Refresh from the View menu do you see a different time?

text: This article is dedicated to the application of voxel phantoms in whole-body counting calibration. The first study was performed to validate this approach using IGOR, a physical phantom dedicated to fission and activation product (FAP) measurement, and a graphical user interface, developed at the IRSN internal dose assessment laboratory, called OEDIPE (French acronym for the tool for personalised internal dose assessment) associated with the Monte Carlo code MCNP. The method was validated by comparing the results of real measurements and simulations using voxel phantoms obtained from CT scan images of IGOR. To take this application further, two studies were carried out and are presented in this article. First, a comparison was made between the IGOR voxel based phantom (IGOVOX) and a voxel human body (Zubal Phantom) to confirm whether IGOR could be considered as a realistic representation of a human. Second, the errors made when considering sources homogeneously distributed in the body were assessed against real contamination by taking into account the biokinetic behaviour of the radioactive material for two modes of exposure: the ingestion of 137Cs in soluble form and the inhalation of insoluble 60Co several days after acute incorporation.

Tummy-tuck surgery or abdominoplasty tightens and reshapes the abdominal area, helping to achieve a more aesthetically pleasing, slimmer overall appearance. Having a flatter, firmer midsection can dramatically improve the way clothing fits and looks, helping you feel more confident and comfortable in your body. During the procedure, the abdominal muscles are tightened and excess, sagging skin is eliminated, correcting a protruding belly and leaving the midsection flatter and better toned. Tummy tucks are popular procedure for men and women, particularly those whose bodies have undergone dramatic changes from weight loss or pregnancy.
No two patients start with identical concerns, nor will any two patients share the exact same goals. During your consultation, Dr. Maningas will recommend the type of tummy tuck that will achieve your desired outcome and create natural-appearing results with the least scarring possible. Who is a Good Candidate?
The majority of tummy tucks can be performed as outpatient procedures, and patients go home a few hours after surgery. However, you may require an overnight hospital stay after a more extensive tummy tuck so you can be safely monitored during the initial hours of your recovery. Because a tummy tuck involves surgery on the abdominal muscles, recovery after a tummy tuck takes more time than that for other procedures.
Expect to be sore and somewhat uncomfortable for the first week or so and spend the first few days resting quietly at home, although you will be encouraged to get up and walk around the house to maintain healthy circulation. It is not uncommon for patients to have drains temporarily placed in the incisions to help remove fluid after surgery. If this is the case for you, our clinical staff will give you detailed instructions for keeping the area clean and well-maintained until their removal a few days following surgery.
Depending on how physically demanding your job is, you may be ready to return to work after 2 - 4 weeks. If you have a desk job, you should be able to go back to work on the early side of this time frame, but if your job involves lifting, straining or other strenuous activities, expect to take up to a month away from such tasks. Tummy tuck patients will have lifting restrictions for 6 weeks. Every patient recovers differently and deals with pain a little differently. We strongly encourage all patients to at least have 14 days of downtime to recover before returning to work and low-impact daily activities.
Since tummy tuck surgery is especially popular with moms post-pregnancy, and childcare is a common concern. Because of the limits placed on lifting and straining, you will need to have full-time help with small children for the first few weeks after a surgery. Lifting even a 25 pound child too soon after a tummy tuck can jeopardize your results by stretching the incision site and possibly leading to prolonged bleeding and swelling.
If your children are a little older, you should be able to resume many of your parenting duties, such as driving, cooking, and shopping, after the first 2-4 weeks. Just make sure you have plenty of help carrying groceries, feeding the pets, and doing other more active tasks.
Schedule your consultation with Dr. Maningas to discuss your cosmetic surgery goals at either our Joplin, MO or Bella Vista, AR office locations.
The average cost for a Tummy Tuck at Maningas Cosmetic Surgery begins at $10,000. Your specific quote will depend on a variety of factors, such as your specific anatomy and fat volume. Our total cost for the procedure(s) is all-inclusive, covering everything from anesthesia to the procedure to materials used and your patient care bag, plus all routine follow-up visits.

LOS ANGELES, Calif. — Pharmaceutical companies and generic drug manufacturers have long been at odds over regulations about “data exclusivity,” the period of time before generic manufacturers can make use of valuable clinical trial data.
A new study in the January 2011 issue of Health Affairs is the first to calculate the financial and social costs of limiting access to trial data — and finds that extending the term of exclusive access will lead to higher drug costs in the short term but also to more than 200 extra drug approvals and to greater life expectancy in the next several decades.
“Elected officials are unlikely to embrace legislation that would result in higher drug prices, but our research suggests that legislation to extend data exclusivity would spur innovation that would benefit future generations,” explained Dana Goldman, lead author, director of the Schaeffer Center for Health Policy and Economics at USC and Norman Topping Chair in Medicine and Public Policy at USC.
The pharmaceutical companies that introduce new drugs are currently granted five years of exclusive access to the clinical trial data they submit during the approval process. New indications and formulation developments of existing drugs are granted three years of exclusivity, and a six-month extension of patent or data exclusivity is granted if a drug is approved for use in pediatric populations.
In 2007, the National Academies Committee on Science, Engineering and Public Policy called for extending this “data exclusivity” term to the longer period used in Europe, ten to 11 years. But generic manufacturers have argued for shorter limits so that they can bring less expensive versions of drugs to patients sooner.
“Unfortunately, the health policy literature contains no information about the effects such a policy would have on innovation, population longevity and social welfare,” said Darius Lakdawalla, research director at the Schaeffer Center at USC and associate professor in the USC School of Policy, Planning and Development.
In the first study to directly address these issues, the researchers estimate that extending the term of data exclusivity to 12 years would increase the lifetime revenue of a drug by 5 percent, on average.
With empirical evidence that profits drive drug innovation, this longer term would lead to an additional 228 drug approvals over the next fifty years and an increase of 1.7 months in average life expectancy, according to the study.
Jesse D. Malkin at Precision Health Economics and Tomas Philipson of the University of Chicago are also authors on the study. The research was sponsored by the National Institute on Aging through its support of the Roybal Center for Health Policy Simulation and INTERPAT, an association of research-based pharmaceutical companies.
The Schaffer Center for Health Policy and Economics at USC is a collaboration between the USC School of Policy, Planning, and Development and the USC School of Pharmacy.

The evolution of content marketing has been entertaining to watch. We’re currently experiencing a permanent shift away from static, traditional content and towards fresh, interactive content. While blog articles will always be the bread and butter of corporate content strategies, many brands have complemented this standard with more engaging mediums like infographics and video. However, there’s still a form of content marketing that very few brands are aware of and it’s called interactive content.
Just a few years ago, simple blog posts were all you needed to boost page views. From there, it became necessary to include a photo or two with each article. This was just the beginning of the shift towards more visual content. Today, consumers come to expect visual content from companies, and not just articles with images, though that medium is still very effective. Now, consumers are demanding videos and interactive content.
Big data is sweeping the web, even more than most realize. With it, we have the power to discern exactly what consumers want, and give it to them. They want more visual content, so we can use big data to produce more lively content by taking pertinent information from all over the web and using it in an interactive profile.
For example, take a look at this algorithm-tracking tool provided by Algoroo. It brings in data from all over the web, analyzing up to 17,000 keywords to show the effectiveness of the keyword in comparison to the Google algorithm. This tool is extremely useful for those looking to boost their search rankings.
Thanks to big data, interactive content is possible, and it’s slowly becoming the industry standard for boosting page views. Since companies can harness the constant influx of data, they have the power to create interactive content, which yields much higher returns than black and white articles.
Interactive content includes, but isn’t limited to, quizzes, interactive infographics, interactive white papers, and industry calculators. Essentially, customers are looking for something that adds value or solves a problem. Interactive data does that in a faster, more accurate, and more personalized way than the traditional blog post.
For example, consider this fuel calculator from Bayswater Car Rental in Australia. It’s a calculator that allows users to input their trip and calculate the consumption and cost of fuel. This content anticipates a problem, and solves it specifically for the consumer.
Marketing Land featured a study on their website that showed just how effective interactive content is for driving leads and raising conversions. According to the study, those who used interactive content found a 23 percent increase in the effectiveness of educating buyers, a 33 percent increase in beating competitors, a 34 percent increase in conversions, and a 21 percent increase in social shares.
To affirm this research even more, it’s important to note that the algorithm tracker from Algaroo has more than 2500 shares across social networks, and the trip calculator from Bays Water Car Rental has nearly 4500 likes on Facebook.
These statistics clearly show what interactive content can do for a business, particularly when compared to traditional content. Blog posts, white papers, and other flat content are still effective forms of digital marketing, but interactive content can significantly accentuate these mediums.
Interactive content is one of the best way of to generate more traffic and conversion. Just few day back, I have seen case study of bills.com, how they are utilizing interactive landing page to drive more business. Whether it is BuzzFeed or any other BoredPanda, they are focusing on creating interactive content to gather more shares on social media.

I just had my second child. I did not expect to be pregnant for as long as I was. Even at my last appointment the doctor seemed to be baffled that I was still pregnant. My first daughter came at 38 weeks so this little one shouldn’t have been far behind. Well…she was. My due date passed and then days and then I started getting texts and calls and advice…lots of advice on how to make things move along quicker.
I tried basically everything except castor oil, the consumption of which expels everything from your body just short of vital organs. Then the induction was scheduled. The day before I decided to try to help Mother Nature along one more time. So, I went for a 2 hour walk. Oh, the waddling. I’m sure I was a sight to behold. Shortly after, I started having contractions. Not big ones, just steady. There was nothing telling me I was about to have a baby and needed to head to the hospital.
The next morning we got up and went to the hospital knowing that day we would be holding our little girl. That was a nice feeling. We waited for a bit and then we went into the labor and delivery room. The nurse, who was AMAZING, started hooking me up to stuff and asking me more questions than I remember being asked the first time.
One interesting thing about the hospital I was delivering at is that they require you to pre-register and put down a deposit for your epidural. If you don’t pre-register and you decide that you want an epidural while you are in the throes of labor, you have to sign some forms, whip out your computer between contractions, and put down the deposit before you can receive it. If you pre-registered and didn’t end up getting the epidural, you would get your deposit back. But I know me. I knew that if an epidural was an option, the likelihood that I would embrace it would be quite high. So I didn’t pre-register.
Bring it on, baby. Quite literally.
Why didn’t I want an epidural, you ask?
Well, I had one with the first kid I popped out. Sure the lack of sensation is nice when you know that there is all kinds of crazy going on down there, but I wondered why I should be afraid of the pain when my body was created for this very purpose, to give and sustain life? That is no small task, my friends. Why should I fear pain that is not going to kill me but is actually completely natural and, I know this sounds totally weird, but a privilege to experience? I didn’t want to get an epidural because I was afraid of experiencing something my body was created to handle.
Let me just say that this was the hardest thing I’ve ever done.
Please hear me on this. If you choose to do things differently, good for you! You are welcoming new life into the world! The goal is healthy baby and healthy mom. In no way am I saying that this is the “right way” to have a baby. In fact, I’m sure there are plenty of people who think I’m nuts, but we don’t need to get into that.
While the contractions were getting pretty intense, I heard my husband tell the nurse that I had run a marathon, so of course I could have this baby without half of my body being numbed. She agreed, but I’m still not sure if that was just to make me feel better.
Labor went pretty smoothly. I moved around a lot but I mostly sat cross legged with closed eyes breathing like I was a ninja waiting to pounce…at least that’s how I saw myself. I was a ninja. A very pregnant ninja.
One time I opened my eyes to see Matt on his phone. In any other circumstance this would have been fine, except for when the mother of your child is sitting across the room contracting. So I asked him to put his phone away because if I’m in pain the least he could be was bored. Really, he was incredible. He was the best coach, best encourager, and super-understanding, because there were some points were I know I was not a joy to be around.
When the contractions got really painful, I did think about getting an epidural, but the point never came where I thought I couldn’t handle it. And when I couldn’t handle it, it was too late. That baby was coming.
I was in labor for 9 hours and I pushed for 10 minutes. My doctor said I had crazy eyes. He also made some comments about how big the baby’s head was. How sweet (*sarcasm). She was 10 pounds 5 ounces. She cooked WAY too long. I am so glad I didn’t know how big she was. I just never considered it. If I had known, things might not have gone the way they did. It was the craziest thing I’ve ever done. It was also one of the coolest and there is no other way I would have wanted to welcome Quinlynn into the world.
Fear could have played a huge role in this pregnancy and birth. From the moment I found out I was pregnant, I had to constantly guard my thoughts and encourage myself. I meditated on scripture, I did research (not the scary google-the-freakiest-thing-that-could-happen-to-you kind) and I prayed. I talked to God a lot. I asked Him to help me with fear. I asked Him to help me embrace the process. I could not have done it without Him. I could not have done it without knowing He loved me and He wouldn’t leave me.
Since I was induced, Pitocin was used to get my contractions started. I wanted to go into labor naturally, but I knew this process was likely to make the contractions significantly more intense, hence I tried until the last second to go into labor by natural means but to no avail. The thought of being induced scared the daylights out of me. I wasn’t sure I could handle it.
When I would have a tough contraction I would whisper, “You will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you...” (Isaiah 26:3) When I was pushing and I knew there was no turning back. I started saying, “I can’t be afraid. I can’t be afraid”. Then I remember looking up at Matt’s face and saying, “I’m not afraid”. I looked at the doctor and said, “I’m not afraid” and then I pushed as hard as I could. Even though I wanted to be terrified, fear would not help me have a baby. Later on, I asked Matt if he heard me say it. He didn’t. I think it’s because I was whispering. It was something only I needed to hear.
Maybe you are facing a situation and you know you have to go through it and it’s going to be hard. Maybe you’re tempted to be afraid. Fear will never get you where you need to go. Fear will not fight your battle for you. Sometimes we have to walk straight through the fire and know that, with God, we will come out on the other side.
The funny thing is that when I wanted to give up I had no choice but to move forward. Fear could have caused me to stall out. At one point, I just wanted to scream at the doctor, not because of pain, but because I was scared to push. I had to choose to push. I had to embrace that moment of discomfort to come out on the other side.
Have you ever stalled out? Have you ever just decided to not do anything because the thought of moving on is just too much to bear? You can’t stay there forever. It’s debilitating. You have got to move forward and fear is going to try and stake it’s claim with all the “What if’s?” and “See what happened to so and so” but let me just remind you that this is your story and you can write fear out of it. But that only comes by knowing that you are loved by God. Because His love is perfect and that perfect love casts out fear. Fear cannot stay where perfect love abounds.
My story is not unique, but I hope it’s an encouragement. I only share it because I love hearing other people’s stories. I love the honesty and the beauty in it all. I firmly believe that in order to live life the way it’s meant be lived, it will require us to be utterly dependent upon God because that is the only way we can live fearless.

An optical fiber (or fibre) is a glass or plastic fiber that carries light along its length. Fiber optics is the overlap of applied science and engineering concerned with the design and application of optical fibers. Optical fibers are widely used in fiber-optic communications, which permits transmission over longer distances and at higher bandwidths (data rates) than other forms of communications. Fibers are used instead of metal wires because signals travel along them with less loss, and they are also immune to electromagnetic interference. Fibers are also used for illumination, and are wrapped in bundles so they can be used to carry images, thus allowing viewing in tight spaces. Specially designed fibers are used for a variety of other applications, including sensors and fiber lasers.
are used for most communication links longer than 550 meters (1,800 ft).
To measure the Numerical Aperture (NA) of the Given Optical Fibre.
Numerical aperture accounts for the light gathering ability of the fibre and it amounts the light accepted by the fibre. NA refers to the maximum angle at which the light incident on the fibre end is totally internally reflected and is transmitted properly along the fibre. NA depends only on the refractive indices of the material of the core and the cladding.
NA is also called the figure of merit of optical fibre. The cone formed by the rotation of angle of acceptance along the axis of the fibre is the cone of acceptance of the fibre. The light should strike the fibre end within its cone of acceptance else it is refracted out of the fibre.
For short length of straight fibre, light ray incident at angle θ at the input end and must come out at same anglerom th output end. So, at the output end of the fibre also a cone of the same angle appears. Hence, NA can be determined by making measurements on the cone at the output end for fibre.
1.	Connect the power to the board.
2.	Connect one end of the fibre cable to the outut socket of the emitter and other end to the numerical aperture measurement jig.
3.	Hold the white screen facing fibre such that its cut face is perpendicular to the axis of the fibre. Hold the white screen with two concentric circles (0.8cm & 1.6cm diameter) vertically to a suitable distance to make the red spot coincide with small circle.
4.	Record the distance of the screen from the fibre end and the diameter of the spot.
5.	Compute NA from the formula given above.
6.	Vary the distance between the screen and the fibre optic cable so that the sot coincides with the bigger circle. Note the distance of the screen from the fibre end.
Optical fiber can be used as a medium for telecommunication and networking because it is flexible and can be bundled as cables. It is especially advantageous for long-distance communications, because light propagates through the fiber with little attenuation compared to electrical cables. This allows long distances to be spanned with few repeaters. Additionally, the per-channel light signals propagating in the fiber can be modulated at rates as high as 111 gigabits per second, although 10 or 40 Gb/s is typical in deployed systems. Each fiber can carry many independent channels, each using a different wavelength of light (wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM)). The net data rate (data rate without overhead bytes) per fiber is the per-channel data rate reduced by the FEC overhead, multiplied by the number of channels (usually up to eighty in commercial dense WDM systems as of 2008). The current laboratory fiber optic data rate record, held by Bell Labs in Villarceaux, France, is multiplexing 155 channels, each carrying 100 Gbps over a 7000 km fiber.
For short distance applications, such as creating a network within an office building, fiber-optic cabling can be used to save space in cable ducts. This is because a single fiber can often carry much more data than many electrical cables, such as Cat-5 Ethernet cabling. Fiber is also immune to electrical interference; there is no cross-talk between signals in different cables and no pickup of environmental noise. Non-armored fiber cables do not conduct electricity, which makes fiber a good solution for protecting communications equipment located in high voltage environments such as power generation facilities, or metal communication structures prone to lightning strikes. They can also be used in environments where explosive fumes are present, without danger of ignition. Wiretapping is more difficult compared to electrical connections, and there are concentric dual core fibers that are said to be tap-proof.
Although fibers can be made out of transparent plastic, glass, or a combination of the two, the fibers used in long-distance telecommunications applications are always glass, because of the lower optical attenuation. Both multi-mode and single-mode fibers are used in communications, with multi-mode fiber used mostly for short distances, up to 550 m (600 yards), and single-mode fiber used for longer distance links. Because of the tighter tolerances required to couple light into and between single-mode fibers (core diameter about 10 micrometers), single-mode transmitters, receivers, amplifiers and other components are generally more expensive than multi-mode components.
Fibers have many uses in remote sensing. In some applications, the sensor is itself an optical fiber. In other cases, fiber is used to connect a non-fiberoptic sensor to a measurement system. Depending on the application, fiber may be used because of its small size, or the fact that no electrical power is needed at the remote location, or because many sensors can be multiplexed along the length of a fiber by using different wavelengths of light for each sensor, or by sensing the time delay as light passes along the fiber through each sensor. Time delay can be determined using a device such as an optical time-domain reflectometer.
Optical fibers can be used as sensors to measure strain, temperature, pressure and other quantities by modifying a fiber so that the quantity to be measured modulates the intensity, phase, polarization, wavelength or transit time of light in the fiber. Sensors that vary the intensity of light are the simplest, since only a simple source and detector are required. A particularly useful feature of such fiber optic sensors is that they can, if required, provide distributed sensing over distances of up to one meter.
Extrinsic fiber optic sensors use an optical fiber cable, normally a multi- mode one, to transmit modulated light from either a non-fiber optical sensor, or an electronic sensor connected to an optical transmitter. A major benefit of extrinsic sensors is their ability to reach places which are otherwise inaccessible. An example is the measurement of temperature inside aircraft jet engines by using a fiber to transmit radiation into a radiation pyrometer located outside the engine. Extrinsic sensors can also be used in the same way to measure the internal temperature of electrical transformers, where the extreme electromagnetic fields present make other measurement techniques impossible. Extrinsic sensors are used to measure vibration, rotation, displacement, velocity, acceleration, torque, and twisting.
Fibers are widely used in illumination applications. They are used as light guides in medical and other applications where bright light needs to be shone on a target without a clear line-of-sight path. In some buildings, optical fibers are used to route sunlight from the roof to other parts of the building (see non-imaging optics). Optical fiber illumination is also used for decorative applications, including signs, art, and artificial Christmas trees. Swarovski boutiques use optical fibers to illuminate their crystal showcases from many different angles while only employing one light source. Optical fiber is an intrinsic part of the light-transmitting concrete building product, LiTraCon.
Optical fiber is also used in imaging optics. A coherent bundle of fibers is used, sometimes along with lenses, for a long, thin imaging device called an endoscope, which is used to view objects through a small hole. Medical endoscopes are used for minimally invasive exploratory or surgical procedures (endoscopy). Industrial endoscopes (see fiberscope or borescope) are used for inspecting anything hard to reach, such as jet engine interiors.
In spectroscopy, optical fiber bundles are used to transmit light from a spectrometer to a substance which cannot be placed inside the spectrometer itself, in order to analyze its composition. A spectrometer analyzes substances by bouncing light off of and through them. By using fibers, a spectrometer can be used to study objects that are too large to fit inside, or gasses, or reactions which occur in pressure vessels.
An optical fiber doped with certain rare earth elements such as erbium can be used as the gain medium of a laser or optical amplifier. Rare-earth doped optical fibers can be used to provide signal amplification by splicing a short section of doped fiber into a regular (undoped) optical fiber line. The doped fiber is optically pumped with a second laser wavelength that is coupled into the line in addition to the signal wave. Both wavelengths of light are transmitted through the doped fiber, which transfers energy from the second pump wavelength to the signal wave. The process that causes the amplification is stimulated emission.

I do think I may have been a little to optimistic about being done with the project in a week. I don't have anyone scheduled for the library next Monday and Wednesday because it is a short week, can I please stay closed those two days? I think having that extra time will allow the entire project to get done correctly. If I finished earlier then I promise I will open it up sooner.
I am sorry I did not do a better job with the estimate.
Let me know your thoughts on this request.
Today we got all but one set of book shelves cleared out and put stickers on all of those books. We have one more set of bookshelves left to clear out along with the New Book Display and then we should be ready to start scanning and putting books back.
I got into a really interesting discussion with a parent volunteer today who suggested that I maybe mix up where I put the books to make it more of the retail model of placement. For example, instead of putting the science fiction next to the fantasy - because they sort of blend together- I put them maybe across from one another or in different locations so it forces the children to look at other books. What are your thoughts?
I think I like my way of doing it but I can be convinced either way.
Once again I need to thank my amazing parent volunteers and my aide Michelle. Without them I could not do this.

The minimum qualifications for the appointment of judges vary according to the Court to which a person is to be appointed.
Was a practising barrister or practising solicitor before appointment as any of the above officers is qualified for appointment as a judge of the Supreme Court, the Court of Appeal or High Court.
A judge of the Circuit Court who has served for at least two years is also qualified for appointment to the Supreme Court, Court of Appeal or High Court.
Section 29 (2) of the Courts (Supplemental Provisions) Act 1961 provides that a person who is for the time being a practising barrister or solicitor of not less than 10 years standing is qualified for appointment as a judge of the District Court.
three persons identified as suitable by the Minister for Justice.
The Board advertises for applications for judicial appointments. Anyone recommended by the Board to the Government for judicial appointment must not only hold the formal qualifications set out in the Courts (Supplemental Provisions) Act 1961 but must also display an appropriate “degree of competence and probity” and be “suitable on the grounds of character and temperament”. The Board forwards and a list of seven suitable candidates to the Government, without any ranking as to suitability, and the Government is not obliged to appoint from this list.
Section 16 (8) of the Courts and Court Officers Act 1995 provides that notice of appointments under the procedure envisaged by the Act must be published in the Iris Oifigiúil, the Official Gazette, and the notice must include a statement, if that is the case, that the name of the person was recommended by the Board to the Minister. However, the names of applicants to the Board who are not selected by the Government for judicial appointment will not be disclosed: section 20 of the Act of 1995 provides that the proceedings of the Board and all communications to it are confidential and shall not be disclosed except for the purposes of the Act.

I’ve always wondered how you can be a perfectly respectable member of society when you’re a known criminal but it’s okay ’cause you’re a hero type person.
In the case of the Dragonborn I suppose you’re more hated or ignored than loved. Most people seem to want to kill you ’cause you can shout in a foreign language and some of them are like “Yes, so, you can shout. Well done. I’ll give you a few Septims if you never speak to me again.” But, back to the point, if there was one, when I was playing my Argonian Dragonborn who was an expert assassin marksman I always wondered why people didn’t try to kill me when I’m known to have killed various people. It’s almost like they hate you and they hate talking to you but they won’t actually do anything about it.
Then again we are talking about the constraints of the AI in the engine that Skyrim was built in, so, really, it’s not surprising. It’s just kind of funny that you can go about doing whatever you please and unless someone actually sees you committing a crime you’re fine to go around killing anyone you wish. Or stealing everything that isn’t nailed down. Then if you are seen you can just pay them money to pretend they didn’t see it.
Of course, my Nord, Dakrohn, wasn’t a criminal. He was a freight train made of muscle and various sharp weapons. He could throw his axe in spectacular fashion, cleave without remorse, take a few hits, take a few more, and continue fighting despite being drenched in his own blood. He was pretty cool. Also, the first character I actually seriously played in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim as my very first one was a mimic of the one I had in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. A sword and shield warrior. Or a mace and a shield. But, in either case- I didn’t like the way they played.
I don’t mind shields but I guess I prefer them when either they’re a part of your attacks or you don’t have to actively raise and lower them.
As I always forget when I’m slicing, dicing, maiming, and slaying my foes. Which kind of means I’m just using a one-handed weapon and missing out on the glory of cleaving and crushing them with a two-handed weapon or some dual-wielding whirl of steel and vengeance style. I take such decisions very seriously as you never know when you’re going to be cursing yourself for something you done many hours before.
In the case of this piece it’s a sort of amalgamation of everything that I’ve been experimenting with for my pencil style. But there’s some new stuff, too. I think this is the sort of direction I’m going to take and it’s going to blend nicely into an ink style. This is also one of the first pieces where I’ve used a 2B pencil alongside my usual. I’m thinking about using that for the deep shadows and keeping B as my general pencil while HB can be my lighter pencil. This way I have three grades rather than two. All things are better in threes.
Triangles for instance. What angle am I? Acute ’cause I’m gorgeous.

Freedom and Flourishing: Should life evaluations be anchored to the best and worst periods of our lives?
Should life evaluations be anchored to the best and worst periods of our lives?
Survey data on life satisfaction is a reliable tool for measuring some aspects of well-being. There is evidence (including in some research reported on this blog) that survey measures of life satisfaction are closely related to perceptions of achievement, personal relationships, standard of living, links to community, health and future security. There is also evidence that when people are asked to evaluate their life satisfaction they tend to think about things such as their career, romantic life, family, standard of living and health (See: Maike Luhmann et.al).
However, as previously discussed on this blog (here, here and here) there is a problem in comparing life satisfaction ratings from surveys conducted at different times because reference norms do not remain static. When we are asked to rate our satisfaction with life we do so relative to reference norms, such as by comparing the quality of our lives with those of people we know, or by comparing our current lives with ‘the best possible life’. That means that we are rating our lives against benchmarks that can change as a result of such things as technological advances. For example, if we perceive that people living the best possible life have access to useful communications devices, such as iPhones, we may rate our own lives less highly if we cannot afford such devices.
If we see our lives improving in line with our perceptions of the best possible life, it is hardly surprising if we give similar ratings to their lives in successive surveys. It should be obvious that it would be a mistake under those circumstances to interpret stable ratings as implying that there has been no improvement in the quality of our lives. Before claiming that people are on some kind of hedonic treadmill that requires them to run faster to stay in the same place, researchers should be sure that the measurement tools they are using are actually capable of measuring progress.
Similarly, when researchers see life satisfaction ratings return to previous levels after people suffer some misfortune, they should be sure that they are using appropriate measurement tools before they claim that this means that the people concerned have not experienced any lasting loss of well-being. It is commendable and often therapeutic to “look on the bright side of life”, but if life evaluations reflect frames of mind it may be problematic to interpret them as a judgement about overall well-being.
The ACSA approach to measuring well-being and changes in well-being was first suggested by Jan Bernheim about 30 years ago. Its distinctive feature is to ask survey respondents to rate their current well-being by comparison with their memory of the best and worst periods of their own lives, with the best period being given a rating of +5 and the worst period being given a rating of -5. The scale is left open so that subsequent scores higher than +5 or lower than -5 are possible if individuals consider that their lives have improved or deteriorated sufficiently.
The South African study involved 46 respondents, 20 of whom were patients in a TB hospital. In general, the three measures of subjective well-being were strongly correlated with each other, but there was weak correlation between life satisfaction and ACSA for the TB patients. Again, while there were no significant differences between the averages of conventional life satisfaction and happiness ratings of the TB patients and others included in the survey, on the ACSA scale the average ratings of the TB patients were about 30 per cent lower than for the others included in the survey.
The authors note that while they did not ask for life stories when they were obtaining ACSA scores, they observed that respondents tended to string the momentous events in their lives together, using anchor periods as reference points to shape a coherent narrative. Interviews lasted between half an hour and 45 minutes and respondents “generally had no difficulty with the task”.
A couple of years ago I wrote a post wondering why more use has not been made of ACSA. I am still wondering. It seems to me that it would be potentially useful to incorporate an ACSA question for a sub-sample of respondents whose well-being has been monitored over an extended period in longitudinal studies (such as GSOEP, HILDA and BHPS). The accounts of changes in well-being over time provided by those surveys would be more plausible if life evaluations were anchored to consistent reference points corresponding to the best and worst periods of the lives of respondents.
