Warm, if not rapturous, best surmises the overnight critical response. While Whatsonstage.com's own Michael Coveney hailed Oedipus as "one of the best performances of Greek tragedy I have ever seen", not all were in agreement. "An evening of many flaws" was the conclusion of some, with much of the criticism focussed on McGuinness' translation – "an uneasy blend of stark poetry and …This isn. And as Sophocles' fifth-century drama – in a terrific new version at the National by Frank McGuinness, based on a literal translation from the Greek by Kieran McGroarty – is the best in the genre (who am I to disagree with Aristotle?) the 75 minutes of Jonathan Kent's production are quite something …The play unravels with the gripping fervour of a courtroom drama, Clare Higgins a distraught and blasted Jocasta, Malcolm Storry a sonorous messenger from Corinth, and Alfred Burke the old shepherd who saved the abandoned princeling on the mountainside. Fiennes is superb throughout – enigmatic, tense, compelling - and particularly good at expressing his grasp of unwelcome news in the embrace of the chorus. One false note is struck by the undiluted, simpering awfulness of the child actors as the blind king's offspring – they seem to have wandered in from prep school in Hampstead – but you can't have everything, as Oedipus finds out at some cost to himselfre are many ways of looking at Sophocles\' hero. You can see him as a helpless victim of fate or an exemplary seeker after truth. But the bias of Frank McGuinness\' version and Ralph Fiennes\' performance is to view him as an arrogant, hubristic figure who achieves humility through suffering. And despite advance strictures, McGuinness\' translation admirably brings out the play\'s tragic trajectory …Fiennes is also the right actor to execute this interpretation. Hes\' purblind pride …Alan Howard, Oedipus in Hall\'s revival, also magnificently reinforces the Beckettian resonance by playing the blind Teiresias as a mocking prophet with an Irish lilt. Jasper Britton deftly captures Creon\'s transition from condemned truth-teller to heartless power-seeker. And Clare Higgins as Jocasta, whose relationship with Oedipus is overtly sexual, has a great moment when she realises the terrible truth and her face darkens like a city suddenly deprived of illumination.""Jonathan Kent's production, with a foot both in camps ancient and modern, still has a terrible fascination about it. Fiennes duly has a big, brave, bold shot at a role that demands the emotional virtuosity of a Gielgud, Scofield or Redgrave and to whose high notes he cannot entirely rise …Frank McGuinness, an always interesting, individual playwright, is not the best of translators …far too much of the McGuinness text, particularly his speeches for the chorus, a group akin to dignified but slightly disturbed MP, sounds preposterous …A shirt-sleeved Fiennes, collapsing in the arms of Alan Howard's sombre Teiresias or in the lap of Clare Higgins' oddly subdued Jocasta, who's dressed up to look unsuitably common, adopts the hunted look of a man on the run. When finally confronted by the truth, he emits a long, muted shriek of pain that chills the blood. He tears open his mouth in a soundless scream of grief. Blinded, he resembles a Beckettian vagrant. It is an evening of many flaws, but as Fiennes demonstrates, Oedipus remains irresistibly terrifyingAt times last night, Fiennes became a bit stilted, something one can't blame on Frank McGuinness' translation, which is unaffectedly colloquial — but he rose to the climaxes demanded of him. Confidence became fear became hope became despair. Reassurance turned out to be accusation in disguise. Oedipus was revealed as the poison he had vowed to eradicate. And Fiennes emitted a thin, dry, almost endless wail, his mouth gaping like the horse in Picasso's Guernica …Maybe the revival is more awesome than moving, but maybe that's what the tale of the self-destruction of a well-meaning but flawed tyrant should be. It's also visually impressive, despite boasting no decor but one mighty bronze door, some fleetingly glimpsed trees, and, weirdly, a long trestle table round which gather 14 men who wear dark suits but no ties and themselves vaguely resemble bankers on their uppers. But this chorus doesn't just chatter or moan. Its dismay, fear, terror rises into chant and, at the end, into a mini-opera of horror and suffering."The chorus, 14 men in grey suits resembling anguished city investors who have just learned that their hedge fund has gone bust, sing many of their speeches like ecclesiastical liturgy. Jonathan Dove has written the score, and it strikes me as overblown, constantly distracting from the meaning of the words in the search for emotional effect. Paul Brown's monumental set …strikes me as similarly over the top, while McGuinness' translation is an uneasy blend of stark poetry and sudden eruptions of banal colloquialism …Fiennes …isn't up to the task. He cuts a striking figure, but his tragic anguish always seems to be applied from the outside …There is deeper work elsewhere – Higgins' terror as Jocasta chills the blood while Alan Howard makes a hauntingly otherworldly Teiresias with his birdlike movements and hooting vocal delivery."


Alcon Inc. plans friendly takeover of WaveLight AG
Huenenberg, Switzerland-Alcon Inc. has announced plans to acquire refractive surgery technology company WaveLight AG of Erlangen, Germany, through a friendly takeover, Alcon will offer the current equivalent of approximately $13.82 US per share in cash for all issued WaveLight shares, representing a 34% premium on the 1-month volume weighted average stock exchange price and a 45% premium on the 3respective months prior to the announcement. The WaveLight Executive Committee has expressed full support ofaccept it subject to review of the published tender offer document.
WaveLight was founded in 1996 and went public in 199refractive laser and diagnostic systems, including a laser system (Allegretto) of which 800 units have been installed worldwide.
Alcon, with a 60-year presence in the ophthalmic industry, expects that the addition of this technology to its portfolioother vision-care products, will strengthen the company's role with surgeons who implant IOLs and perform laser refractive surgery, according to Cary Rayment, AlcRayment said.
Max Reindl, WaveLight's founder and CEO, said, "We are convinced that the combination of Alcon's global commercial infrastructure with WaveLight's technological capabilities will create the foundation for continued growth within the refractive surgery channel."
Reindl is expected to continue as chairman of WaveLight's executive committee. In addition, as a member of an operating committee with Alcon managers, he will help develop plans to integrate the two companies.
The takeover offer will be contingent on the fulfillment ofy relevant merger control authorities.


the program is called '1000 books before school,' a literacy campaign initiated by the state government of victoria to get kids into reading before they start school. raven has always loved books anyway so when i saw the marketing flyers at doveton library, i was like, why not? i just wish i had done it sooner, had i known about it then.
the registration was pretty straightforward. and free. i just whipped out my beloved library card and signed her up. walked out the door with her starter kit which was a bag with reading charts and stickers in it, as well as a few books i borrowed so she'd have something new to read.
i have to say that the whole sticker reward thing really took her interest in reading to a whole new level. i mean, sure, she has always liked books but since taping the chart next to her bed so it's easily accessible to her, she just wants to read. and read. and read. and read.
"read a book!" she would say in that irresistible singsong voice of hers, punctuated with a smile. "please!" she'd continue, as an added effect. laying her charm on nice and thick.
i'm half asleep and she'd be there waking me up so i can read her a book so she can put a sticker on whatever random spot on the chart she fancies because she obviously doesn't subscribe to the idea of going about it chronologically, which initially disturbed the OCD in me.
nighttime is the same story. except, expect to read at least two books. at least. by the time you say "the end" and before you even get the chance to close the book, she has already jumped up excitedly.
"reading sticker!!!" she'd exclaim enthusiastically.
so, anyway, she finished her first 100 books last week. about 3 weeks after i signed her up. she knew i was taking her to the library on this day to get her reward and she couldn't wait.
admittedly, neither could i. if anything, i felt like i deserved a reward too. you know, for those times i was involuntarily taken by her charms even though i wasn't really in the mood to read with her. because, i'm not the perfect mom. and there are days when i just REALLY wanna curl up on my side of the bed and read MY own book in peace.
for her reward, she got a pack of flashcards. she was pretty excited about it and i was too… until we get home and the cards are lying around everywhere and i'm at my wit's end trying to keep a clean house. i was gonna say "maintain," but that would suggest that our house is normally mess-free but it's not.
lunch was at our usual spot. it's called top choice restaurant, in noble park. the only restaurant i don't mind going back again and again because it's the only place outside of home where raven ever really eats — a lot. at first she and jeff just shared a plate but then she would eat more than half of it that jeff was left eating her leftover. so now she gets her own order of hotdog and rice which isn't hotdog, really. it's just easier to say compared to 'mock pork tenderloin' which is what it really is, anyway. although don't get me started on what mock meats are made of because i still imagine it to be shredded cardboard but i doubt vegans would find that funny.
and, no, she's not a vegan baby.
and although she's already 2 years old, she will always be a baby to me. i don't care.

A Bar of Chocolate’s Contribution To WWII

Field Ration D. Photo from The Candy Encyclopedia Wiki
Hershey’s chocolate is one of the leading chocolate brands in the market. You often see these chocolate bars and kisses just before checking out your grocery items. These delightful treats also surprisinglyand here’s how:
Anything But a Boiled Potato
Army Capt. Paul Logan “demanded light field rations for paratroopers during their long field deployment. The meal needed to be indestructible, pocket-sized, heat-resistant, and highly nutritious,” as The Vintage News wrote. So in April 1937, he met with the president of Hershey’s Chocolate, William Murrie, and Sam Hinkle, their chief chemist, to discuss making these rations possible. According to Sam Hinkle, the US government wanted the chocolate bars to weigh 4 ounces, withstand high temperates, provide high energy, and “taste a little better than a boiled potato.” They wanted to make it palatable instead of tasty so that soldiers would only eat them in emergency situations and not when they are craving sweets.
Doesn’t-Melt-In-Your-Mouth Chocolate
Hershey’s Tropical Chocolate Bar.
In Europe, the D Rat was a form of currency that along with cigarettes could buy you almost anything from a population that had not seen chocolate in years in many countries. A D Ration would get you a good bottle of wine or champagne, or a night’s stay in a hotel in some places. A second bar could get you a girlfriend for the night as well.

The best documentaries on youtube is a show that has been released recently. Fans are speculating what the show might be about through the trailer.
Bad Sport, a new Netflix docuseries that will premiere worldwide at the beginning of October, just released a teaser that has everyone talking. The documentary series examines the world of sports, but from the dark side, one episode at a time. Sports are about more than simply guts and glory; there are a variety of other issues that go unnoticed by the general public but are very important.
It demonstrates how things may quickly devolve when greed enters the equation. The docuseries w six tales of crime, corruption, and deception. With phrases like “greed,” “horror,” and “conspiracy theories are widespread” flashing across the screen in the teaser, you can anticipate some startling discoveries from the series.
What Sports Conspiracy Theories Will Be Examined in the Documentaries?
In six episodes, the docuseries Bad Sport will examine some tragic conspiracy theories and fatal sports backstories. One of these episodes features the Salt Lake City 2002 Winter Olympics controversy, in which the figure skating competition was rigged. Another of these episodes explores how Randy Lanier, the Indy 500 champion, becomes the brains behind the marijuana smuggling activities. A Bad Sport episode delves at the point-shaving controversy, which includes Arizona State’s men’s basketball team.
Another episode looks at a US insurance fraud ring that involves insuring costly show jumper horses against illness, death, and accident, then murdering them to collect the insurance money. Calciopoli, Italy’s most well-known football match-fixing scandal, appears in one of these episodes. The last episode of the docuseries sheds light on the cricket controversy. Hansie Cronje, South Africa’s most successful captain, had a setback and fell from favor before dying in an aircraft accident in 2002.
Did The Movie Live Upto The Expectations Created By Netflix?


Duncan Tonatiuh Presents His Latest Book
Award-winning children’s author and illustrator Duncan Tonatiuth will help La Biblioteca celebrate Día de los Muertos with a program about his new book, Funny Bones—Posada and His Day of the Dead Calaveras. Tonatiuh will talk about why, thanks to Posada, calacas, and Catrinas came to be associated with Día de los Muertos. The free event will take place in Spanish on Friday, October 30, at 5 pm near the Día de los Muertos ofrenda in the Biblioteca patio.

 is the story of José Guadalupe Posada, Mexico’s most famous political printmaker and engraver whose satirical artwork during the time of Porfirio Díaz and the Mexican Revolution are world-renowned. Kirkus Reviews, in acknowledging the book’s publication, wrote that “Tonatiuh further marks himself as a major nonfiction talent with this artistically beautiful and factually accessible offering that effectively blends artistic and political content for young readers.”
Using his signature Mixtec-influenced illustrations as well as works by Posada, Tonatiuh presents an easily understood narrative about the printing processes Posada used, the development of his style, and his life. Through Socratic questioning, Tonatiuh engages young readers in thinking about the meaning of Posada’s work. Like almost all of Tonatiuh’s books, Funny Bones includes the author’s notes with facts and expansive information about the subject, plus glossaries and more to jumpstart adult-child discussions.
A graduate of the Parsons New, both in New York City, Tonatiuh was born in Mexico City but raised in San Miguel. He was encouraged to become comfortable around the many books in his family’s home and to borrow books, which he did from La Biblioteca. Tonatiuh’s illustrations are hand drawn and then digitally colored and collaged. Honoring his past, he uses bright and child-appealing illustrations inspired by pre-Columbian art, particularly Mixtec codices.
Funny Bones was glowingly reviewed by the New York Times Sunday Book Review October 10, calling the story “captivating” and “respecting the … mystery even of life and death.”
Tonatiuh was the 2014 Artist-in-Residence at the San Miguel’s Writer’s Conference, where he led a writing workshop for teens. In 2013, the Akron (Ohio) Art Museum invited Tonatiuth to create a large-scale mural.
Tonatiuh’s books are available in limited supply at the Librería la Musa Hosca on Mesones 38, located in front of the Plaza Civica. They can be bought online from Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

Instead of resolutions this year, spend some time doing important inner-work. By developing our ability to be self-aware we learn not just who we are as individuals but how we contribute to the whole. It is not about calling out shortcomings and setting goals to shore up the ways we are not enough. This work is dedicated to revealing what is already working and connecting with that in ourselves. We can then gain momentum in a positive direction when we gather to work collectively.

How to build a casement picture frame for your living room window
The casement is the window that houses the living room.
The glass is a glass-based plastic.
It is also referred to as a glass curtain or window curtain.
The casements are often made from glass that has been stained.
Glass casements come in many shapes and sizes.
Some are rectangular or even rectangular-shaped.
They can be of various heights and depths.
These glass casements often have a built-in light source that will allow you to see the room through the glass.
The best casement for your home is the rectangular or rectangular-shape.
There are other styles, such as the triangular, hexagonal, hexagon, or octagon.
The shape of the casement determines how well it fits within the room.
Some people prefer the shape of a rectangle, while others prefer a hexagonal.
The more shapely your glass casement, the better.
There is no perfect way to construct your own glass casings.
They may have different levels of detail, which makes it easier for them to fold and unfold.
This allows you to add and remove window trim and glass, as well as adding decorative embellishments such as window frames.
What are the different types of casement?
There are two main types of glass casing: the rectangular and the rectangular- or hexagonal-shaped glass.
They are both made from plastic.
The rectangular glass is made from the plastic that is used to make all the other types of plastic products such as polystyrene, PVC, and acrylic.
The other type of glass is the hexagonal glass.
It’which is a polycarbonate plastic.
You can make it in many different ways, including: a clear polyethylenene plastic, like this one from the supermarket.
It has a plastic coating, but it’s not plastic.
it has a glassy plastic coating.
A clear plastic can be used to fill in the gaps between the casings, or it can be the glass that is covered by the polyethylenes.
There may also be other types such as a clear plastic with a polyethylylene film and a clear glass with a clear coat.
How much plastic do I need?
The casings that are made from polyethyleners are usually a lot thicker than other types.
You should use plastic-based materials.
The thickness of a polypropylene casement can vary from 1/4 to 1/2 inch (3.3 to 4.7 millimetres) depending on how thick the plastic is.
The thinner the plastic, the more of it is used.
If you need to make a casings thicker than 1/8 to 1 1/16 inch (0.4 to 0.7 mm), you may use polyethylpropylene (PE).
Polyethylene is a good plastic because it’s strong and flexible.
It can also be used for decorative or decorative window casings because it is flexible.
Polyethylenes can be made into casings by using a machine called an immersion molding machine.
It makes a plastic-containing mixture from polymers.
The machine is then used to melt and melt plastic into a clear polymer-like material.
The polymer-making process takes a long time, so itquality plastic casement.
Some polyethylenerated glass can be heated by boiling water for a short time.
When the plastic-making is finished, the polymer is poured into a glass moldpolymer coating is a very clear and glossy surface.
The plastic coating on the casements can also give them a unique, shiny appearance.
What is the difference between glass casters and other plastic products?
Glass casings have a lot more detail than other plastic types.
The amount of detail is different depending on the thickness of the plastic.
Glass-based casings are often more detailed than polyethyleneglycol, polypropyleneglyl, and polyethylenediamine (PET), which are also used to create plastic paints.
Polycarbonate casings can be a lot clearer than polystyrenes.
Polystyrene casings and PET casings make glass curtains, but they are often not so detailed.
The difference is the glass is not the same thickness.
For example, polystyres are generally thicker than polycarbonates.
Polypropylene is a thin, flexible plastic that makes up a lot less than glass.
Polyene is the type of material used to form the casters in most glass casework.
Polycarbic acid, the ingredient that creates polystyrosols, is also used in many types of plastics.
The chemical reaction that occurs when polycarbonic acid and other ingredients are combined with oxygen and water creates a liquid that is then added to the glass cas

But certainly whatever legitimate valence Allen’s ‘memo’…
UPDATE: Scott Ott takes the story to the next level: “Writer of GOP memo outed as ‘Curveball.'”
HIND. The whole point of the story, as initially reported, was that the document was an official “GOP memo,” created by the party’s leadership and broadly circulated to the party’s Senators. If Harkin had told what he knew promptly, that story never would have been written, or would have been promptly spiked. So it seems likely that Harkin stayed quiet because he wanted the false account to circulate; indeed, he may have been the source of the misinformation promulgated by ABC and the Post. But then, why did Harkin come forward yesterday? Again, the most obvious answer does Harkin no credit: with speculation increasingly focusing on the Democrats as the likely source of the memo, it was in his party’s interest to come forward, even at the risk of exposing the falsity of the early reporting on the memo.


The modern pavilion is also a highly adaptable and flexible space. Rajat Jindal commissioned architect Paul Archer to design a crafted meditation and yoga pavilion for his family home in south-west London, yet the building can also be turned to a number of other uses. It sits in the rear garden of Jindal’s turn-of-last-century house, with a crisp outline, accompanied by its own modest courtyard.
The outline, says Archer, was also inspired by the large-scale Modernist sculptures of Spanish sculptor Jorge Oteiza, which used folded steel panels to create structural compositions. The small, integrated courtyard provides privacy from neighbours while simultaneously bouncing light into the pavilion itself. When the doors are opened up, the indoor and outdoor rooms become one large space.
“The idea was to create a space that you retreat to, away from the home,” says Archer. “I do like the idea of being able to go on holiday at the end of your own garden. Escapism is an important part of pavilions, and the very definition of a pavilion suggests a structure that is not crammed up next to other buildings. They are freestanding and so a sculptural treatment becomes more appropriate. They are calm spaces that give you a sense of rest rather than a dynamic spatial quality.”
Meredith Bowles of Mole Architects, for instance, has designed a painting pavilion for artist Elena Arevalo in the garden of her home in Girton, Cambridge. The striking building is coated in panels of recycled plastic with the look of some extraordinary marble or exotic granite. The small, low-slung structure was built under English permitted development rules, which allows for small garden structures in the right circumstances.
sol.
“The pavilion is very much connected to the architectural approach of the house itself,” says Lynch. “There’s an obvious familial relationship between the buildings, and we were trying to complete the original project in a way that was about creating a set of rooms in the landscape. The brief for the studio was, literally, a room with a view that could be used as a studio. We tried to make it as small as possible as you approach it, but then its triangular form explodes internally and you get these enormous open views of the marsh.
As we move into another kind of economics, the modest scale but powerful aesthetics of the new pavilions should carry them forward. Tony and Anne Ray in Leeds added an extraordinary garden room by Bauman Lyons Architects to their Edwardian home for just over £55,000. The small pavilion respects the original house, being separate from it (but attached to the garage), while creating a contemporary canopy that connects the Rays to the garden – “a place to sit, read, watch birds, and a relaxing space to talk with friends,” says Tony.
There’s also Zaha Hadid’s recent mobile art pavilion for Chanel – a futuristic, fluid caravan. Art pavilions by David Adjaye and others over recent years have also reinforced the idea of the pavilion as an experimental miniature architectural laboratory, closely linked to the art world itself. Pavilions are as closely connected to the world of creativity as the world of naturea

After a hiccup on the runway, the plane needed a “reboot” - the pilot explained it was just like ctr-alt-delete for us PC users. As you can imagine, we were all a bit worried. However once in the air, the flight went smoothly and we soon found ourselves in the green and lush state of Virginia.

Year after year Jayson Tatum is adding more and more names to his poster list that already includes LeBron James, Karl-Anthony Towns, Al Horford, Ben Simmons and Paul George. Watch his best dunks now!


2nd, 2005
Steven Spielberg, the director of this film, said repeatedly during this film (and on the 2nd disc interviews), that he wanted to make a “fun” movie, after directing the darker themed A.I. and Minority Report, he was looking for a break, but was talked into making this movie by DiCaprio, and he didn’t look back. With small parts filled by James Brolin, Martin Sheen and Jennifer Garner, Catch Me If You Can lives up to the creative respite for Spielberg, while at the same time, affording him the opportunity of working with long-desired actors. The film’s good fun production and filming eased its way onto the screen as well, as the chase between Leo and Tom was an entertaining one.
Despite a 2-disc set full of promise, there wasn’t too much that delivered, and some of it was even redundant, a disappointment from Laurent Bouzereau, considering his past work. “Behind the Camera” is a 17-minute feature that was brief, but was full of interviews from the cast and crew. It covered each aspect of shooting, but again, did it quickly, 1 or 2 minutes was spent on production and costume design, props, lighting and cinematography, as well as some screen time from Steven, Tom and Leo. “Cast Me If You Can” talks about the casting, of course, and is broken down into 3-6 minutes on the principal and supporting actors. It talks about how everyone got the gig, as one would expect. The 5 segments total just over 23 minutes, but anytime you can get some interview footage from Chris Walken, it’s a good thing. You know it’s John Williams time when you select “Scoring Catch Me If You Can”. This Williams guy is good, that’s for sure, and you’d think that more than 5 minutes could be devoted to him, but to no avail. “Frank Abagnale, Jr.: Between Reality and Fiction”, spends 16 minutes covering the source of the movie, and the book before it. The first third of it talks about his family history, before he was one the run, and the rest was spent talking about his time in his various “jobs”, as well as a short wrap up since his incarceration. All the talk about him being a charming guy is legit, he was fascinating to watch and listen to, but DiCaprio made a comment about who he stole the money from which seemed to equate him to Robin Hood or something, reminding me that celebrities need to think before they speak.
”The FBI perspective” is a 7 minute piece from the technical advisor (William Rehder), which, even as filler material, didn’t serve too much of a purpose. Most of us are grown enough to know, or be aware of, what a technical advisor does on set, but knowing that, even this piece is a bit tedious. “In Closing” is almost 5 minutes, and has interview clips from just about everyone discussing their experience on the movie, and reinforces Spielberg’s opinion that he thought it was a lot of fun making the film. The archives first starts with photo galleries, broken down by Cast, Behind the Scenes and Production Design, totaling almost 100. The cast and filmmaker biographies are included, and I don’t recall seeing filmographies associated with them, perhaps I’m mistaken. The production notes is broken down into the source and era sections, and are almost 90 pages of material, and in skimming it, some of it had been mentioned in the previous behind the scenes material.
At the end of the day, this release phoned in the special features on the 2nd disc, even for a Spielberg release. It’s a pretty fun movie about a naïve criminal who blossoms, and the film’s fun nature, combined with the good audio and video quality behind it, make for a film worthy of repeated viewings.

You had mentioned with your own discovery, you needed to identify whether or not it was going to work and learn a lot about the process along the way while you’re testing it out. You don’t have to build it on blockchain in order to test it and see if it’s going to be a viable solution. That’s a great example. Business owners are asking, “Should I be accepting cryptocurrency of some sort?What does that even look like?How would I even go about it?”
You put Fiat currency, our actual money, dollars, whatever your local currency is in your country. You put that in it, then you buy some Bitcoin. You get started and now you start utilizing it in places that take Bitcoin. My question back to you though would be, do your clients care?Do they transact in Bitcoin?If you’re doing a lot of business with Twitch in general, you should take crypto. It happens all the time. Thinking about it, is it right for my community?Do they care about it?Would it be a reason for them to choose doing business with me over doing business with someone else?
We did that. We went out there and said, “I’m willing to put cryptocurrency as one of our forms of payment. We take PayPal, we take everything else, credit cards, why not take Bitcoin or Ethereum or anything like that?Why not do it?”We said, “Our clients aren’t that savvy. That’s not who they are. That’s an investment strategy for them. They treat it not like currency, they treat it like stock which is what it technically is by the SEC.” If they’re going to treat it like stock, they don’t want to buy stuff with it. It’s not at that stage where we said it’s worthwhile to add this on, it complicates your shopping cart. Why do it if you don’t need to?
Those are great points. We’re going to talk with Tracy a little bit more about identifying whether blockchain is indeed good for your business. She would give up a couple of points. How many years out are we before we can tell whether this is going to become mainstream?We had got a chance to talk a little bit about identifying rency or that’s something that’s a must now. She mentioned that it’s important to get the feel of your consumers. What is it that they want and meet them where they are because they’re the ones that need to be kept happy?
If you have any questions regarding anything crypto-related or blockchain-related, even though Tracy claims she’s not the expert, she definitely can. She’s curious enough to know a lot of things to be able to point you in a good direction. Tracy, Revhave a lot of application development requests coming in that has some form of blockchain in them. Mostly what I’m seeing though is that some of these businesses are thinking, “I want to create my own internal reward payment system, tokenization or whatnot.” Have you seen a tokenization concept be built and be highly effective?How are people grasping with it?


How to Style a Bar Cart Without Alcohol
Last year, I was in Marshall’s with my mom (which is dangerous because we always end up with a cart full of goodies) when she spotted this rattan bar cart on major sale. I initially hesitated because I didn’t have a place for it and besides that, four kids and a bar cart don’t really go together. But, after some convincing, I decided to take it home with me and it’s definitely ended up being a versatile piece. I love how light it is plus it has wheels so I can easily move it from room to room as needed. When we entertain, I love decorating it with all the essentials but for everyday, I’ve struggled a bit when it comes to the best way to style it. Then, last week, I found these woven baskets in Target on the clearance shelf and I grabbed them without hesitating. I originally planned on using them in my boys’ bedrooms for toy storage but they’re a bit delicate and I realized that wasn’t the best idea. So, I opted to try one of them out on this bar cart and I’m just loving it! This basket plus this new lamp I recently scored at Home Goods are giving this corner in my living room a little pick me up and it’s making me realize you can elegantly style a bar cart without alcohol!

Love how you styled this bar cart! I would definitely use it as a coffee bar for my new Verismo home brewing machine.


Are pencil skirts really a “must-have” for every woman? I’m pear-sre.
Let’s get one thing straight: In my stylebook, there’s no such thing as a “must-have”. We’re all too sophisticated for those kinds of fashion dictates by now. And just because something’s on trend does NOT mean you’ve got to rush right out and subscribe to it. There are more than enough options out to keep every woman of every body type satiated. The old adage of “To thine own self be true!” must always take precedence. and find“pencil skirts” around—many taper toward the knee. But there are also those that hang straight down. I find the ones that are tapered could tend to make you look a little bottom heavy, if that is indeed an issue. Try a skirt that isn’t tapered, . There’s also the question of length. I find the most flattering length for most skirts to be right at the knee—either just above, if you happen to have nice knees, or just below, if you’d rather hide them. The newer mid-calf lengths that are coming back are a bit tougher to carry off, no question. However, they can, in some cases, elongate a body. But of course, the right look of a skirt largely depends on the right footwear. A little height will always prove flattering, even if it’s only a wedge. But I digress. We’re talking skirts here…not shoes.
Make sure the pencil skirt you choose isn’t too tight, and in a fabric that will hold its form. A stretch fabric may be too clingy. But most importantly, it’s the top you plan on teaming with your skirt that will help you disguise any figure flaws you feel you might have. If you feel you’re “pear-shaped”, you’ll want to draw attention to your top. Pair a print or colourful shirt, sweater or jacket with a dark pencil skirt. An off-the shoulder top could also be very flattering. You might also try a fabulous scarf, again  If you feel comfortable tucking your top in, go with a slim belt to accentuate your waist and give you a curvy look. And a peplum waist jacket with your pencil skirt could give you an ultra-feminine curvy line. But a longer, looser top should do the trick to disguise your big.

Flight delays are quite common; however, their causes are quite complicated. Weather, airport scheduling, airline differences, etc. can all impact the on-time performance. In this paper, we set the JFK airport as an example to analyze flight delays first and analyzed changes of the delay rate with different models, and pointed out the influence of time factor for flight delays. At last, we applied these methods to other major airports. In this way, we can use the model to predict the delay rate of each period with a high precision, and provide the information to the passengers.

Hi all, recently bought a S21 with the £100 cashback, jumped through all the hoops and then a few days ago get the email stating there is a delay making the payment and we'll let you know when it's made.
No explanation of the delay and no indication of when this might be resolved.
Pretty poor company values. Anyone else experienced this ?

These Big Six decisions have been held incredibly tightly, but details began leaking out around Capitol Hill on Friday night and the corporate rate was first published by the Washington Post's Hill team. By Saturday, influential figures on K Street were beginning to learn more detailRealtors and home builders won't be happy with the doubling of the standard deduction. That's because lots more people will take the standard deduction and many fewer will itemize their tax returns. A prevailing belief in the real estate world is that under those conditions, fewer people will take the mortgage interest deduction, which could mean fewer homes being purchased.


The Completionism Poll is a new wing it down into different expansions and elements.
This week we're looking at Cathars / Siege / Besiegers, three mini-expansions that are essentially the same (although Besiegers contains two more tiles). The Cathars was originally released as a four-tile expansion in the German Spielbox Magazine in 2004. Siege, with the same mechanics and number of tiles but without the Cathars theme, was released in 2008 in the RGG English-language expansion Cult, Siege and Creativity. Finally, the six-tile Besiegers mini-expansion was released into the German market in 2013. Besiegers is widely available (on Cundco, for example), while the other two are harder to come by.
How much of a completionist are you? Which of these do you own or want to own? Discuss your thoughts below!
As far as I’m aware, Cathars was available with one of the Spielbox magazines, and then via the Spielbox almanac although there’s isn’t any difference between them (that I know of). Similarly, Die Belagerers was first released in a special box of Carcassonne that was only available through Mueller stores (in Germany) and was limited to a production run of 1000 boxes. Then it became available through Cundco, and then they did a second release of the special boxes, which are still available on Cundco now (http://cundco.de/en/boardgames/carcassonne/109/carcassonne-metallbox?c=39).
Regarding the poll, I own all three and I am totally a completionist, but I got Siege before I got Cathars, not wanting at the time to shell out the €25.00 the expansion would probably cost (I got it for a bit less, fortunately). I consider them the same expansion and I much prefer the Cathars theme and graphics to the slightly cartoony Siege. Besiegers I consider an entirely different expansion, much like I think of River I and II, Crop Circles I and II, or Halflings I and II. Obviously they are the same mechanic, but the 6 different tile arrangements put them in separate categories. I probably wouldn't play a game with Cathars and Siege, but I would play one with Cathars/Siege and Besiegers because the tiles are actually different.
Anyhow, I just have the comon Besiegers/Belagerer and that's enough for me, although I really like this expansion.
You are correct and I made a mistake. The Carcassonne Almanach was the one with Die Katharer. Cult came with the Hans im Glück one, which is why it was paired with the Stone Age expansion.
Those lucky 8 guys with all 3 of them. No my aim is to get them all. But my guess is that it will be very very hard to obtain them.
Siege is available as part of Cult, Siege and Creativity at the OXID Gift Shop (http://shop.spiele-akademie.de/en/international/Carcassonne-Cult-Siege-Creativity.html?listtype=search&searchparam=carcassonne"), but the price has gone up from €24.99 when Dan and I got them a year or so ago to €29.99. Cathars is obviously the most difficult of the three to obtain.
I'm very happy with just Besiegers. This is mainly because I only joined the Carc world in 2014 and so didn't even know there were others or had access to them.
I treat it as I do CC1 and CC2, since these don't really differ! Some of you would disagree however.....
Yep, I'd consider CC1 & CC2 and Besiegers & Cathars different, because the tile configuration is different. Even if the rules could be implemented in the same way.
I have a copy of all 3; Cathars, CS&C, and Besiegers.
I had only Siege, but when the Besiegers came out with two extra tiles, it seemed to me to be a new expansion (and easily available!) so I got it. Having the two of those expansions then sent my OCD (obsessive completion disorder) into overdrive and I got Cathars. So I now have all three, although I pretty much consider Cathars and Siege to be the same expansion with different artwork, and Besiegers as a separate expansion.
S86).
353.msg33208#new).
What the poll actually shows is that over half the people consider you need all 3 for a complete collection.
Yes, that's probably a better summary than what I wrote. It also depends on how much they 'want' them (i.e. at what price) but this is hard to build into the poll framework.
I have none of them, wasn't going out of my way to find any of them but I may have struck lucky on getting at least one of them.
Incidentally - it's an interesting shop that has some interesting items in it - http://www.mepel.pl - Located in Katowice, Poland - I was initially hampered by my lack of Polish language skills, but Mr Google Translate and a work colleague helped me out there and the fact that the store didn't ship outside Poland. I made an email enquiry (in English) and had an answer within an hour and my Besiegers are en route now.
Of potential interest to übercompetionists - Polish versions of many addons, Plague... Here's the Carcassonne Dept: http://mepel.pl/pl/searchquery/carcassonne/1/phot/5?url=carcassonne - anything that has a price on it in green is in stock... Prices are in Polish złoty (€1 = 4.4zł). Peter that runs the shop has also pointed out that they also sell organisers usable for many games - the example given is http://mepel.pl/zestaw-organizer-carcassonne-wszystkie-dodatki which clearly has space to store many meeples and expansion-related items... (the piecee not included)()()Personally, I don't find this part to be a problem. There's no watermark but the tiles themselves are much easier to see than other tiles without a watermark (e.g. GQ11), and they're even easier to spot than many tiles with a watermark because the Siege artwork is more prominent than watermarks are. I store mine in the same section of my Basically Wooden box as the Besiegers, and then the watermark on the Besiegers tiles differentiates them.
I didn't realise that Cundco was not selling Besiegers by itself anymore either. I was going to get a second set for my travel box but now I'll have to rethink that idea.
They haven't had them since at least mid-January (when I placed my first order) or I'd have bought one... I thought I'd missed out on the Müller box when my last order was "Partially completed" but thankfully it was only the free bag that was missing from the order.

Register now to attend a webinar on building more sustainably with wood on 23 November, 14:00 - 18:00 CET!
Von: ECE-Faoforests [mailto:ece-faoforests@un.org] Gesendet: Donnerstag, 12. November 2020 17:30 Betreff: Register now to attend a webinar on building more sustainably with wood on 23 November, 14:00 - 18:00 CET! Dear colleagues, Climate change is one of the most urgent and complex problems governments face in the 21st century, and the construction sector is a major component of the problem. In Europe alone, it is estimated that the building sector accounts for more than a third of all greenhouse gas emissions, and nearly half of total energy demand. Wood and wood-based materials provide a major opportunity to turn the situation around and transform the building sector so that it meets the demands of a low-carbon economy. The production and processing of wood is more energy-efficient than other building material, giving it a very low carbon footprint. But using wood for construction is just one of many ways in which forest-based materials can be used to help tackle the climate crisis. The UNECE/FAO Team of Specialists on Sustainable Forest Products will host a webinar: "Building and renovation solutions to meet 21st-century climate change, affordability, energy and sustainability criteria" on 23 November from 14:00 - 18:00 CET, to increase the awareness and knowledge of sectoral experts, policymakers and the wider public of the benefits of using sustainable forest-based materials, products and systems in a wide range of projects addressing climate-related challenges. Discussions at this webinar will: . Show how wood-based materials, products and systems can respond to the climate change challenge; . Provide practical examples of how wood-based solutions can help provide societal needs for affordable living, working spaces and lifestyles that are sustainable and have reduced carbon impact; . Derive conclusions and recommendations for further awareness of knowledge of benefits of using forest-based materials, products, and systems in all applications. Some of the speakers include: . Dr. Andrew Norton, CEO-BOIS and EOS: Technical Advisor/Renuables, UK . Mr. Peter Moonen, Canadian Wood Council, Vancouver, Canada . Mr. Philippe Moseley, Policy Officer, Sustainable Industrial Policy and Construction, DG Grow, EU Commission . Mr. Eoin O'Driscoll, Leader, UNECE/FAO ToS on Sustainable Forest Products . Mr. Rob Bernhardt, Passive House Canada, Victoria, Canada . Mr. Peter Wilson, Managing Director, Timber Design Initiatives, Scotland . Dr. Sean Smith, University of Edinburgh, Scotland For any questions about this webinar, please contact Matthew.Fonseca(a)un.org. You can find out more information and register here   .

We firmly believe that working at Chick-fil-A can be a launching pad for your futur meeting you.
Do you desire a job that has stability, a growth mindset, a strong culture, and great benefits?
Are you interested in a career alongside a unified and energetic leadership team?

“TO BE THE WORLD'S MOST CARING COMPANY."
“OUR SHARED VALUES ARE SERVANTHOOD, GROWTH MINDSET, TEAMWORK, AND OWNERSHIP."
My name is DuPre Bingham and I am so grateful that you are considering Chick-fil-A as a career. I began working at Chick-fil-A when I was 16-years-old. The positivity and enthusiasm of Chick-fil-A Operators and team members was noticeable. And I loved the simplicity of pleasing guests through friendliness, high quality food, quick service, and a clean environment.
My Operator invested in me from the very beginning. He steadily taught me the basics on how to take care of customers, how to be a responsible team member, and how to market the business. I learned that genuine care for people was what our business was all about. We were not really in “the chicken business". We were in “the people business”.
I had no idea that this simple job would one day become my career. I enjoyed a 2-year overseas ministry opportunity and thought it might turn into something long-term. But I soon found a strong pull back to Chick-fil-A. I have found Chick-fil-A to be an excellent platform from which to care for peopleowner-operator of two locations in Charlotte, NC with over 200 employees. Growing the business is certainly fun but the most enjoyable aspect of my role is investing in leaders. It is awesome to see leaders be inspired to grow personally, learn how to run the business, discover their strengths, and find joy in serving others.


Following last week's 1960s theme, this week on American Idol, the young hopefuls will mash their way through the songs of the '70s. (I'm sure Fox is chagrined that it isn't still showing That '70s Show, as tonight's episode would've been a wonderful opportunity for Wilmer Valderrama to show up as Fez and warble his way through "I Will Survive.")

This south Indian restaurant opened on Baker Street in early 2019 on the site of former French eatery Galvin Bistrot de Luxe. It is the brainchild of entrepreneurs Pooja Nayak and Aseela Goenka, with kitchens headed up by Manmeet Singh Bali, ex-head chef of Michelin-starred Rasoi and Vineet Bhatia London. This is the first restaurant venture from the duo, inspired by their childhood memories of Tamil Nadu. While Ooty is a formal sit-down experience, Ooty Station is designed to appeal to the casual diner, with an inventive cocktail menu designed as a sensory journey through the regions of southern India, accompanied by light dishes in the style of its sister restaurant next door.
Where its formal sister restaurant and basement bar have stuck to a hushed, intimate atmosphere – not unlike the bistro that was there before – Ooty Station’s yellow signage brings a welcome splash of personality to Dorset Street. It is decked out in imitation of the Ooty train station in Tamil Nadu, with corrugated blue wall coverings and deep red and mustard tiling – and feels suitably transient with its minimal seating and pavement tables. The terrace makes a perfect spot for people-watching on Baker Street during summer evenings, and its exceptional concept cocktail menu is a great way to begin or end an evening out with friends.
Southern India is represented through fragrant dosas, steaming rice cakes (idlis) and coconut-rich stews, and there’s a sense of play in the presentation. The menus come as cards on mini clipboards, like those used by train conductors of the 1950s, while a clove-smoked lamb slider comes served with a small pipette of searing chilli sauce. The buttery lime tomato prawn is everything it should be – rich and warming, infused with a perfect balance of sweet coconut and tangy lime, served with bite-sized steamed idlis. The Mangalorean chicken curry is addictive, with plenty of sauce to stew the steamed pancake in. But it’s a vegetarian option that stole the show: a crisp little garlic and soy spinach dosa that feels like the street food that Nayak and Goenka cite as their inspiration. And then there are the cocktails.
Ooty Station is intended as a light bites café and bar, so to fill up you’ll need to order a few plates each. Two cocktails (£12 each), a bar bite (£4.50 to £9), two mains (£9 to £11) and dessert (£2.50 to £7) will set you back around £45-£60 per person.

Trade, Treasuries and Trump: Three Keys for Growth in 2019
For most of the last decade we have lived in what has often been termed a "Goldilocks economy." Much as the fair-haired, home-invading subject of the children's story found one bowl of porridge to be "just right," economic growth and inflation have been neither too hot nor too cold1. During this time, coordinated action by the world's central banks kept interest rates near zero and the prices of nearly all asset classes high. The US economy is in its 113th month of expansion, seven months short of the record. Notwithstanding a recent stumble, US equities are 119 months into the longest-ever bull market, led mostly by growth stocks riding a global wave of technological innovation and expanding prosperity. Except for growth scares in 2011, 2015 and perhaps one day in November 2016, market volatility has been low and its upward trajectory largely uninterrupted. There are signs, however, that the narrative may be changing as a turn in the aging business cycle may be accompanied by a wholesale shift in socio-political regimes from globalism to nationalism and capital to labor. Populism is on the march around the world with long-term effects that are unclear, but unlikely to be positive for equities. As in the story, the bears will eventually return home; their timing and mood is uncertain, as is how much of this eventuality the market has already discounted. Against this backdrop we believe bottom-up, fundamental stock selection of the type we have practiced for over forty years remains more important than ever.
The most salient issue for the market is growth - with corporate tax cuts behind us and little slack left in the economy, growth will almost certainly slow from the 3-4% posted in 2018. That does not necessarily implyis on the immediate horizon. How far above or below the approximately 2% real growth that population and productivity gains suggest is "just right" depends on many factors including what we have described variously as Three T's: Trade, Treasuries and Trump.
President Trump made "fair trade" the centerpiece of his election campaign and he has thus far made good on his promise to challenge the prevailing post-war "free trade" orthodoxy (however illusory that reality might have been). Hope for a trade deal with China rose when the administration renegotiated NAFTA, now called USMCA (the initials of its US, Mexican and Canadian signatories). The market understandably zags with each hint that a China deal could emerge since China accounts for over half of the US' $600 billion trade deficit and remains our third largest export destination. The situation takes on even greater significance due to China's role as an engine for global growth. China is slowing as it faces domestic structural imbalances. Pressure from President Trump exacerbates those issues, but a deal is unlikely to solve them or heal the lasting damage done to the Sino-American symbiosis.
Also critical to the outlook for the economy and stocks are the level and trajectory of interest rates. Since the Federal Reserve began its taper four years ago in October 2014, the ten-year Treasury rate breached 3% this year for the first time since 2013, standing now just below that level. Higher interest rates have real world impacts – they make the purchases of new homes, cars, capital equipment, companies and the US deficit more expensive to finance. All else equal, higher rates reduce the value of risk assets by making the alternative home for capital, "riskless" Treasuries, more attractive. The term structure of interest rates (aka the yield curve) has also been ascribed predictive powers. Inverted curves – situations in which the ten-year yield exceeds the two-year yield – have predicted all nine recessions since 1955, albeit with two false positives and a wide variation in timing. The virtually flat yield curve today thus worries some observers.
While there has always been a healthy interplay between markets and political figures, President Trump's twitter habit, unpredictability and the potential legal challenges to his presidency have made him more "center row orchestra" than past leaders. Among the concerns for the next two years is how a Democratic Congress with no interest in helping Trump get re-elected approves the USMCA, a debt ceiling extension and further fiscal stimulus, especially when the ask may be a tweak to the tax cuts. Interestingly, the War on Tech (i.e. privacy and anti-tothers) seems to be one of the few issues with bipartisan support and is worth watching in 2019. Geopolitical disruption is not unique to the US: if and how the UK exits the European Union, the precarious positions of leaders in Germany, France and Italy, not to mention the typical entanglements in the Middle East, also remain a focus.
Not all news – whether real or fake – is bad of course. In fact, many economic indicators are quite strong, with 3.7% unemployment the lowest since the tumult of 1969, record consumer net worth ($109 trillion) and interest rates and inflation that, viewed over a longer time frame, remain quite tame. The Federal Reserve and the President are probably not past the point of no return and still have not lost policy control: President Trump, who possesses a keen sensitivity to the stock market, could resolve the trade war and the Fed could blink on 2019 rate hikes. That would leave reason to believe the expansion could continue and that the current state of the market is the pause, like the previous ones in this cycle, that refreshes.
Causation, Correlation or Neither
The S&P 500 is down 6% and the small capitalization Russell 2000 index is down 13% to date, with each off 16% and 24% from the peaks in those indices in September and August, respectively. For most of the year, the performance of the S&P 500, dominated by six technology s – the "FANGMA") that comprise 15% of its weight, masked the more significant declines posted by a broader group of stocks. Approximately two-thirds of stocks in the S&P 500 are negative this year with one-third down more than 20%. Even the vaunted FANGMA is now 25% off its highs, adding credence to the notion that the global growth trend may be broken. "Buy the Dip" has morphed to "Sell the Rip."
Market declines of this magnitude could be expected to impart a negative wealth effect, i.e. consumers with slimmer brokerage statements feeling less inclined to make discretionary purchases, which could exacerbate an economic slowdown, but market declines are more often simply a precursor, not a trigger, of recessions. Since 1929, there have been sixteen bear markets with most, though not all, pacing a recession by approximately one year (the recession-less crash of October 1987 a notable exception). It is also worth stating that the market does not equal the economy. Just as some have suggested Wall St. prospered without much of Main St. over the last decade, the reverse could conceivably prove true.
In any case, stocks are already pricing a slowdown and/or higher rates. A flat year-to-date equity market compared with estimated EPS gains of 22% in 2018 and 8% in 2019, implies a contraction in forward multiples from 18x at the end of 2017 to roughly 15x today. That is at the low end of historical multiples during periods with inflation in the 0-3% area. This suggests that the market as a whole does not appear expensive. We do not buy the "market," but we are finding a lot of bargains in individual stocks recently.
Deal activity slowed through the year as political uncertainty weighed, but the underpinnings for mergers (low interest rates and a lack of organic growth opportunities) remain and the potentially waning days of the present administration may encourage activity sooner rather than later. Spin-offs rebounded in 2018 (twenty-six by our count), including two by Honeywell and one pre-takeover spin-off by KLX. Notable upcoming announced separations include Madison Square Garden's spin of its sports teams, 21st Century Fox's pre-deal spin of its news and broadcast assets, and three-way spins by DowDuPont and United Technologies. As discussed in the past, we like spin-offs because they not only tend to surface value but often serve as the source of new ideas.
Last year, we expressed surprise that a strong market was overlooking what seemed to be mounting risks late in the economic cycle. As many of those challenges - trade disputes, higher interest rates, political discord - play out, we wonder if the market is now ignoring what continue to be decent corporate fundamentals. Ultimately our job is to do the work on the microeconomic elements of each company and industry we cover, examine how the changing macroeconomic environment impacts those variables and make buy and sell decisions that balance the resulting opportunities and risks. Since the bears inevitably come home in each cycle, we have always erred on the side of capital preservation and that will especially be the case going forward. Children's stories don't always have happy endings but they serve as cautionary examples that we have heeded well.
""Goldilocks and the Three Bears" was an old tale first recorded by poet Robert Southey in 1837. Market commentator use of the analogy dates to at least the late-1990s expansion.

Diabetes is a serious health challenge for the aging population, contributing to morbidity and mortality primarily through increased risk (1). Approximately 25–30% of adults over the age of 65 years have diabetes (2,3),es (4). Older individuals with diabetes also have higher rates of comorbidities including functional disability, accelerated muscle loss, chronic kidney disease, and coithout diabetes (3). Since multiple comorbidity among older adults with diabetes is common, individualized risk assessment to guide therapy using standard risk stratification tools has proven to be challengingrisk assessment and inform use of novel and emerging therapies for patients with diabetes given important risk/benefit trade-offs between efficacy and adverse effects in the older adult population.
Incorporainto risk stratification and treatment decision algorithms is one such strategy that has the potential to improve personalized diabetes care. hs-cTn–based risk stratification (using both the hs-cTnT and hs-cTnI isoforms) has been extensively investigated in multiple population settings and for multiple outcomtality (5–8). The association is strongest for heart failure and mortality and weakest for ischemic events (6). When measured in ambulatory individuals without cardiac symptoms, hs-cTn is a measure of subclinical myocardial injury and provides independent, additional prognostic information beyond other cardiac biomarkers and diagnostic tests suchN-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide, and coronary artery calcium (9,10). Importantly, although hs-cTn is commonly elevated beyond the detectable threshold in older adults (∼2/3 will have a level of hs-cTnT ≥3 pg/mL), in the Cardiovascular Health Study (mean age ∼73 years), prevalent diabetes was associated with a greater likelihood of elevated hs-cTnT and participants with detectable hs-cTnT had a greater comorbidity burden. Moreover, both baseline and changes in hs-cTn levels over time were linked with excess death (11). These data clearly demonstrate a pathophysiological link between subclinical myocardial injury represented by hs-cTn and medical comorbidity in older adults; however, the joint associations between cardiac troponin and comorbidity and their potential interaction regarding mortality risk among older adults with diabetes remain unanswered.
In this issue of Diabetes Care, Tang et al. (12) directly address these questionsvisit 5, which included 1,835 older adults aged 67–89 years with self-reported or laboratory-diagnosed diabetes, self-reported or administrative assessment of medical comorbidities specified by the American Diabetes Association (2,13), and cardiac troponin T and I measured with highly sensitive assays (12). The cohort was a broad representation of older adults in the U.S.: ∼57% female, ∼31% black race, and 61% with a “high” (≥3) comorbidity burden. As hypothesized, hs-cTns were associated with greater comorbidity, and both hs-cTnT and hs-cTnI and comorbidity ind, improving discrimination of mortality risk beyond traditional risk factor models. Notably, the utility of hs-cTn was predominantly realized through downclassification of risk for mortality among those with undetectable levels. When considered jointly, both hs-cTn and comorbidity burden contributed independent prognostic risk information for mortality such that participants with high hs-cTn (≥85th percentile in the ARIC population at visit 5) and high comorbidity were at the highest risk for death, those with either high hs-cTn or high comorbidity represented an intermediate risk group, and those with low hs-cTn and low comorbidity had the lowest mortality risk.
There were several strengths of this study over prior work that add to our understanding of mortality risk in older adults with diabetes. First, the cohort is reflective of the contemporary older adult population with diabetes and study findings are likely generalizable to the aging U.S. population. Second, the investigators analyzed both hs-cTnT and hs-cTnI assays, which are known to be nonredundant and provide complementary information (14). Third, the investigators included several noncardiovascular comorbidities essential to mortality prognostication specifically in older adults such as dementia and frailty. Several limitations also merit comment. The assessment of comorbidities was relatively restricted, and other comorbid conditions with potential mortality impact (e.g., bleeding history) were not included in the analysis. Furthermore, use of a simple count of the number of comorbid conditions led to equal weighting of all comorbidities despite the fact that diseases such as stroke, heart failure, and cancer are much more important contributors to mortality compared with incontinence and arthritis. Finally, the focus on all-cause mortality as the study end point does not present a full picture of the outcomes relevant to an aging population. Future studies incorporating exercise capacity and nonfatal cardiac end points would be of additional interest.
Integrating this work on mortality risk prediction with prior studies of hs-cTn, we can conceptualize a framework through which to interpret hs-cTn among older adults, including those with diabetes. It may be useful to consider hs-cTn as a biomarker of myocardial “age,” whereby individuals with undetectable levels (or levels that are lower than age- and sex-dependent normative values) can be considered “young at heart.” This concept is supported by the observations from Tang et al., where low hs-cTn downgraded risk for mortality even among older individuals with high comorbidity burden. In contrast, those with higher-than-expected hs-cTn levels may be considered to have accelerated myocardial aging. Considering these factors together, higher hs-cTn (representing pathological myocardial aging) and high medical comorbidity burden can be integrated to reflect a state of accelerated physiological aging. The presence of one or both entities can shift the trajectory of “normal” chronological age toward “premature aging” such that adverse outcomes are more likely to occur at a lower chronological age. Conversely, individuals with no significant comorbidity and/or low hs-cTn can be downgraded to lower mortality risk consistent with a more “healthy aging” trajectory (Fig. 1). This paradigm may be utilized to downward classify risk in older adults with negative troponins despite existing medical conditions. Furthermore, as novel diabetes therapies (e.) are emerging as important therapies for prevention of adverse cardiovascular outcomes, hs-cTns may prove useful as tools to identify older adults with diabetes likely to derive the most benefit from these risk-reducing medications. Additional study is needed, however, to evaluate this hypothesis.
Relationship between physiological and chronological age and trajectory shifts by elevated hs-cTns and medical comorbidities in older adults with diabetes. The relationship between chronological and physiological age may be modified by considering highlow hs-cTn and/or no significant medical comorbidity can be downgraded in.
As prevailing evidence points to diabetes continuing to be a global chronic illness burden in aging societies (15), practitioners will need to shift focus away from age as a number toward age as a state of health. The study by Tang et al. provides further evidence that the age-risk relationship is modified by a deeper recognition of physiological/myocardial aging and that health trajectories can inform care in older adults with diabetes. Future therapeutic studies in diabetes may utilize risk modifiers such as hs-cTn in refining and selecting the best strategies to prevent and treatFunding.

The Rithmatist (Dragonsteel Entertainment/Tor, 2013) by Brandon Sanderson was one of those lucky finds off the library shelf. It has an interesting premise and surprising plot twists. Aimed at the YA market, as the main character is 16, it’s definitely appropriate for upper middle grade readers who like Harry Potter.
Rithmatists–those who can make chalk drawings come to life to fight the wild chalklings in far off Nebrask–are set apart in school society. Poor scholarship student Joel desperately wishes he could become a Rithmatist even though he wasn’t chosen. When Rithmatist students start disappearing from Armedius Academy, Joel manages to get himself assigned as an assistant to the professor who is investigating the disappearances, but doesn’t realize how dangerous that will be.
The author has written both children and adults series. Of those, I’ve read and enjoyed Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians (Scholastic, 2007)–the first of his middle grade series. Doesn’t the title just make you want to read it? See more on his website.
Of interest, too, is Sanderson’s 3 laws of magic and links to 14 University Lectures by y on this page of writing advice.

Aspen native lands dance position with Polish ballet
Aspen native Remy Lamping — who recently completed a three-year professional traineeship with the Bolshoi Ballet Academy in Moscow — has garnered a one-year position with the Polish National Ballet.
Lamping, 18, left for Warsaw on Tuesday.
She graduated at the top of her 32-member class at the Russian ballet academy in April. She interviewed with several ballet companies around Europe in the winter and spring before returning to Aspen for the summer to spend time with her family.
Completing the intensive Bolshoi Ballet program helped her to land the job in Poland, she said in an interview last week.
"The ballet companies know the Bolshoi Ballet," she said. "If you put that on your resume, they tend to take you more seriously. The training also helped me, in terms of dance auditions."
The auditions were difficult, "but if you have the right kind of training, it really stands out," Lamping said.
Lamping said the language barriers in Poland won't be so bad because more people speak English there than in Russia. However, as part of her schooling in Moscow, she learned the Russian language.
The Polish ballet covers contemporary and classical selections, with programs that suit her tastes, she said.
Dawn Lamping, her mother, pointed out that Remy's ascent in the ballet world was aided by many Aspen-area donors who showed faith in her talent. At the Bolshoi academy, the cost of tuition alone is an estimated $27,000 annually (in U.S. currency).

Like I mentioned before, Cory had to take drivers ed during summer school. He finished the classroom portion of the class in 4 weeks, got a B+ and a quarter credit. It kind of messed his summer up because he was wanting to go visit his grandparents, but what can you do?
Now we're planning to have him take the driving portion of the class next summer. Hopefully he will remember most of what he learned this summer! He only turned 15 last month, so he can't get his driving permit (temps) until January at the earliest. If we wanted to sign him up for a driving school at that time we could. If we can find a local school like Labonte's Auto School in MA and RI, that would be good. They offer one-week programs and very flexible evening and weekend classes.
Of course, if Cory doesn't end up having a need to drive sooner, we can wait and let him take the driving instruction next summer through our school district. If it's the same as it has been the past two summers, it won't cost us anything. We really do have a great deal in our school district when it comes to drivers ed.


First off, for any of my guildies that read the blog: Awesome job on one-shotting Al'ar last night. Way to bring the "A" game.Secondly, I need to preface this post with a bit of insight to me, for those that don't know me. For a lot of reasons in a lot of different categories, I don't drink alcohol or smoke. I never have, and I never will. I won't go too far off in a tangent about why, but I don't. I recognize that a lot of people in my guild do these things, and that's okay, per se, as long as they don't dork up the raid because of these things. Now... on to the post.During last night's raid I realized that "tomorrow" (which is actually today) is Cinco de Mayo. As far as I know, there's basically two major drinking holidays here in the United States. One would be Cinco de Mayo and the other would be St. Patrick's Day. I suppose you could technically count Oktoberfest as well, but that's kind of a whole month... so probably doesn't fit here. This isn't an anti-drinking post, so if you want to go out and get drunk, then have fun poisoning your body and be safe (designated driver and whatnot).The reason that this is such bad news to me is based on our last major drinking holiday. On St. Patrick's Day of this year, we had Gruul's Lair on farm, but that specific night was horrible. In our DKP heading for that night, it's called Wipe-fest in Gruul. We got through it eventually, but we usually did Gruul and Mag in the same night. That night, our raid performance was so bad that we didn't even go in to Mag's.I brought up this concern last night to the raid saying something like "Oh no... everyone's going to be drunk tomorrow. Should we even raid?" The response was something like, "Most of us are drunk nightly anyway." I'm sure it was in jest. If not though, I really feel sad for those people. There's obviously a difference between buzzed, drunk, and completely smashed. I'm hoping that those that drink are just buzzed. Otherwise, I'd probably classify nightly drinking/getting drunk as an alcoholic.So, we're going to attempt to raid tonight. But if we have difficulties doing our 3/4 "clear" of The Eye by killing Void Reaver, there's no way I'm headed into SSC to attempt Fathom-Lord tonight.
