Q: Inequality involving matrices I want to prove (or to find a counterexample) for the next inequality
$$c_1 \leq c_2$$
where the relations among the scalar constants are
$$x^T(A+A^T)x \leq c_2x^Tx$$
$$x^T(A^TA)x \geq c_1^2x^Tx$$
I know that $x^T(A+A^T)x>0 \implies x^TAx>0$
EDIT
You were right. The second inequality was wrong written, otherwise it does not make sense. Also you were right about the factorization of A, so I have dropped that part.

A: Since $x^T x$ is non-negative, taking it to the other side of your inequalities doesn't change their direction. Thus you have lower bounds on both $c_2$ and $|c_1|$. In order to derive an inequality between them, you'd need an upper bound on one and a lower bound on the other.
To construct a simple counterexample, just choose $A$ to be the identity and $x$ an arbitrary unit vector; then the given inequalities are $2\le c_2$ and $1\le c_1^2$, and they're satisfied by $c_1=3$ and $c_2=2$ with $c_1\not\le c_2$.

A: First, you probably mean the infimum of those $c_1$ and $c_2$ that fulfill your inequalities (i.e. the least upper bound, not just any upper bound). Otherwise the whole problem does not make any sense, as you can see in joriki's answer. So, what you probably mean is:
\begin{align}
c_2 &= \sup_{x\not=0}\frac{x^T(A+A^T)x}{x^Tx}\\
c_1 &= \left(\sup_{x\not=0}\frac{x^T(A^TA)x}{x^Tx}\right)^{1/2}
\end{align}
In the equation for $c_2$, adding the matrix transpose is pointless, since $x^TA^Tx=x^TAx$. So you can just as well write
$$c_2 = 2\sup_{x\not=0}\frac{x^TAx}{x^Tx}.$$
Now, on the right you have (two times) the Rayleigh quotient, and taking the supremum of that gives you (two times) the maximum eigenvalue $\lambda_{\max}$ of $A$.
In the equation for $c_1$, you have the spectral norm on the right, which is the same as the largest singular value $\sigma_{\max}$ of $A$. So what you want to prove or disprove is effectively the following:

For all square matrices $A$ it holds that: $\sigma_{\max}(A) \leq 2 \lambda_{\max}(A).$

Obviously, this cannot hold for matrices with only negative eigenvalues. Just take $A=-I$, and you have a counterexample, since $\sigma_{\max}=1$ and  $\lambda_{\max}=-1$.

A: First not that you do not need $A$ be singular to do the factorization $A=P^{-1}DP$.
Second even if $A$ is nonsingular, there is no guarenty that $D$ becomes diagonal.
Third, even if all these variables were scalers, no conclusion could be made for the inequalities.

[Music Video + Stream] Aer – Says She Loves Me
By Andy | Published January 14, 2014
Okay yeah I realize I'm fairly late on this. Whatever. If we're being honest, it took me a bit to warm up to Aer; I never really listened to them, but I always brushed them off as "not my type." Well as it turns out, I'm a degenerative college student, and this song makes me think about drinking things outside in warm weather, so needless to say it is in fact my type.
"Says She Loves Me" has that light, airy vibe that you're going to start looking for as the weather starts to warm up, so make sure you bookmark this one. And the girls aren't very hard on the eyes, either.

Aer – Strangers EP
By D Prep | Published March 20, 2013
The boys from Aer are back with a new EP, titled "Strangers. The EP's single, "Take It Wrong," was one of my favorite Aer songs to date so I was excited for the full EP to drop.
While I think "Take it Wrong" is definitely the strongest offering on the EP, "Tell it Straight" and "Strangers," which features Mod Sun and was originally produced by the legend Pete Rock, are standouts as well. The other two songs, a Ratatat remix called "Guaranteed" and a self-produced track called "She'll Miss It," aren't as strong in my opinion.
Overall, a somewhat disappointing EP, only insofar as "Take it Wrong" was such a strong initial offering and the other songs on the EP aren't on the same level. The other tracks just aren't as "Aery," and don't have the trademark Aer vibe in the same way as the single.
Regardless, definitely worth a download…new Aer is always, always a good thing.

Aer – Take it Wrong
By D Prep | Published March 6, 2013
Aer is back, and better than ever. With their first release since this summer's The Bright Side, "Take it Wrong" is the first single off of the upcoming Strangers EP, set to drop on March 19th. They sent this over to me with excitement, describing it as "one of their best tracks" to date. I could not agree more. Their sound is maturing really nicely, and this song seems to be at a higher level, at least instrumentally, than that which they have released in the past. The fat bass line is carries the song throughout and sets a laid back, mellow vibe from the start. Combined with the easy going guitar, the song permeates the sound that Aer's come up on.
This is a great first single, and if it serves as any foreshadowing, Strangers will be on a new level for Aer. I'm excited for it to drop in just under two weeks. Be on the look out for that, and catch Aer on tour now with Hoodie Allen.

Aer – Floats My Boat
By D Prep | Published June 25, 2012
As a blogger, I almost never buy music that I post. Aer released a new song today, called Floats My Boat, and for whatever reason I have yet to receive an email with the MP3 attached. Well, I like Aer so much and have such high expectations for each of their releases that I actually went onto iTunes and paid a whole 99 cents for the track. Fuck it, YOLO.
Anyways, this is Aer's bread and butter here, that mellow vibe that makes their music perfect for the next few months of summer. The bouncy production here gives the song a great beat, and with a catchy albeit relaxed hook, combined with a few great verses from the boys, makes this another must-download Aer track.
Enjoy the juicy freshness.

[Video] Aer – What You Need
By D Prep | Published May 9, 2012
Aer is back with another video, this time opting to go with Exodus Productions as opposed to their usual director, Matt MiGGz. To be honest, I think this might be their best video yet.
The black and white coloring adds another element to the video, and the visuals are pretty stunning. There's not too much going on in this video, but the well shot piece is interesting enough on its own.
Enjoy, and catch Aer on their summer tour with OCD this summer.

[Video] Aer – Wonderin' Why
By D Prep | Published April 3, 2012
I haven't listened to Aer in a minute but this new release has had me bumping the What You Need EP all day, and I'm sure they'll be in constant rotation throughout the spring and summer. 65 and sunny where I am, and nothing is as suited for a mellow, relaxed, nice day outside as Aer's music is.
They released the video for Wonderin' Why earlier today, and per usual mattMiGGZ delivers the crispiest of visuals to go along with one of my favorite tracks off of What You Need.
Shouts out to Carter and David for getting it in with the chicas. YOLO.

More solo Aer for us to enjoy on this fine Thursday evening? Ah, what a damn treat.
This one's a remix of Rihanna, which I guess is normal considering Reeves remixed Soulja Boy? Whatever. They do it.
This one's more fit for a party than a bonfire, and it's not the first time the boys from Aer have tackled a house beat–they went over Avicii for "Shot Clock."
Not necessarily a potent or meaningful track, but a fun one nonetheless. Enjoy.

Carter, aka Reeves, of Aer has released a solo track, a remix of Soulja Boy. Aer remixing Soulja Boy? Interesting. Very interesting.
Carter's smooth flow works perfectly over this extremely smooth Soulja production, and any new Aer is a positive thing to me. Really looking forward to their new project, and I think we can expect a solid slew of singles to tide us over until the project drops. Carter's got a great voice and a really strong ability to switch up his flow, and this song is a great testament to that.

Aer – You Noticed (Ratatat Remix) || (Download)
Aer remixed Ratatat's Beat 6; if you know anything about Ratatat or the beats you make, you know that they are some of the dopest around.
This is easily one of my favorite Ratatat beats, and Ratatat's remix of Slim Thug, T.I. and Bun B's "Three Kings" is incredible.
Aer flows really well over this beat, which is something you should come to expect every time from the Aer guys.
Not my favorite Aer song, but I really like everything they put out and this is no exception.

Aer – What You Need EP
By D Prep | Published October 17, 2011
Aer – What You Need
So remember how whenever I posted Aer I was always like "these guys are awesome I can't wait for them to blow up?"
Well that's happening. Like right now, at this moment, they're blowing up.
Right behind Eminem/Royca da 5'9 and in front of (IN FRONT OF) Nicki Minaj, Eminem, Jay-Z and Kanye West lies Aer on the current iTunes hip-hop chart. They released this EP this morning, and it is by far some of their best work to date.
My favorite song off of the EP is the title track, which has a really catchy hook and a great, mellow guitar riff. It combines their great singing and rapping voices and perhaps if I wrote for a different blog I would describe it as sick and chill. It is both of those things, in droves.
Aer's going to be big. Like, really, really big. Trust me.
Support good music and buy the EP on iTunes!

You are here: Home / BlackBerry / Will The Google Phone, a.k.a The Nexus One, Get Preferential Treatment From Google?
When I first heard about the Google Phone I first thought that Google would give it features that they don't put on other phones but as I think about it more, Google won't be able to get away with doing this because they still have to keep the carrier subsidized devices running android competitive.
No matter how cool Google makes their own phone, some people simply won't shell out the doe without it being subsidized, especially when iPhones and Blackberrys still are.
Isn't the Google Phone supposed to have advertising built in to keep the price of the phone low?
YES. And the carriers and RIM should be very nervous.
I know that you've thought that this is how mobile devices should be sold for a long time, and, although I don't think that we are quite there yet, it will be interesting to see how Google fairs selling direct.
DroidDude makes a good point when he says that some people simply won't pay for an unsubsidized phone. It is just part of our culture (US and Canada) that we get significant discounts on mobile devices when we sign up to 2 or 3 year contracts. It is going to take a bit of time for that culture to change. In the short run I don't know that advertising will be enough to offset the difference on what you would spend on Google Phone as compared to a carrier subsidized device running Android.
To answer your question Robb, yes, the Google Phone will get preferential treatment. The device is built to their exact specifications and has the name Google on it.
Please don't assume for a minute Google needs to realize a direct profit from the sale of each unit. They have a much bigger game plan and that is being DOMINATE in cloud computing, communication, and EVERYTHING they are involved in! Profits come from from various sources and it is the OVERALL bottom line that counts. Trust me, this is the BEST run marketing company today and they know how to drive business to their door, not always obvious to us.
With that said, what would guess the selling price of this Google Phone is going to be?? Anybody?


Borough President Melinda Katz made a motion to approve the design of a new police precinct in southeast Queens.
Queens Borough President Melinda Katz recommended approving last week the rezoning and site selection of the NYPD's new 116th Precinct station house.
The new precinct will be located at 242-20 North Conduit Ave. in Rosedale, according to the borough president's office.
The borough president's approval came after the NYPD presented its application two weeks ago at her Land Use Public Hearing at Borough Hall in Kew Gardens.
The proposal would rezone a parking lot within Community Board 13 into a two-story building that would be 45,000 square feet.
"Once built, the creation of the new NYPD 116th Precinct station house will help fulfill that need by improving response times and having a more proactive presence closer to the neighborhoods it protects and serves," said Katz.
The project was funded in full by the mayor's office with a commitment of $70 million in capital for the new precinct and station house.
With Katz's affirmative recommendation, the project can now move forward to the City Planning Commission and the City Council for review.
Another purpose of the new precinct is to provide relief for the 105th Precinct, which is one of the largest in the city. The precinct, which is fifth in precinct population and fifth in geographic size out of 77 precincts, covers nearly 13 square miles in southeast Queens and parts of Nassau County from Glen Oaks to Rosedale.
The 105th Precinct's geographical challenges made it difficult for it to fully serve that large swath of southeast Queens, which also includes Queens Village, Cambria Heights, Bellaire, Hollis, New Hyde Park and Floral Park.
According to Inspector Jeffrey Schiff in an August 2017 meeting, the 105th Precinct has a 6 minute and 58 seconds response time.
By relinquishing the eastern most parts of its coverage area (Rosedale, Springfield Gardens, Brookville and Laurelton) to the 116th Precinct, the 105th Precinct could possibly reduce its response time in the future.
Renderings for precinct depict as stretching from 242nd to 245th streets on North Conduit Ave., and will run parallel to the Rosedale LIRR train station.
The creation of the precinct was first included in the borough president's 2014 Strategic Policy Statement.
The new station house will have a staff of 400 who will report to work on three eight-hour shifts, will include a community space on the first floor and have 163 parking spaces, according to the ULURP application from the NYPD.
The station house will have a green efficient design.

Huntsman Textile Effects Inaugurates Underground Water Tank in Baroda for Neighboring Luna Village
Huntsman Textile Effects officially unveiled an underground water tank it constructed in Baroda, India to help address the shortage of water faced by neighboring Luna village. The newly constructed 500 KL tank stores potable water to meet the needs of thousands of villagers.
Rohit Aggarwal, President of Huntsman Textile Effects, says, "At Huntsman Textile Effects, we recognize our responsibility to not only create value for our stakeholders, but to make a sustainable and vibrant world possible for future generations."
Luna village received water from the Narmada water project, but due to insufficient storage capacity, the water was drained away in a nearby pond. In close consultation with major stakeholders including Sarpanch and the Gujarat Pollution Control Board, Huntsman's Baroda site management proposed the construction of a water storage facility as a long-term solution for the village.
The project was operated on a Public-Private-Partnership model, and took close to two years to complete. Through a Memorandum of Understanding between Huntsman Textile Effects and the Luna local administration, the project was scoped out with committees formed with assigned roles and responsibilities prior to the start of work. With construction complete and all final inspections successfully concluded, Luna village takes over the running and maintenance of the water tank.
Huntsman invested and managed construction of the tank, working hand-in-hand with the Gujarat Water Board, which undertook the laying of pipelines, drilling of wells and other underground work required for a complete water solution.
Huntsman Textile Effects runs a range of other community initiatives from its facility in Baroda, including its award-winning Anandi program. The program mobilizes staff volunteers and company funding in support of community projects focused on education, health, water & sanitation and animal husbandry.

A multimillion-dollar development off Interstate 385 in Mauldin could get underway by summer.
The project, called BridgeWay Station, would combine "commercial, civic and residential uses in a compact, walkable setting," according to the new zoning designation, "Urban Village District," created by Mauldin City Council in a preliminary vote Monday night.

The Shopping Center Group, a Charlotte-based retail-only real estate firm, is handling sales and leasing for the project. Leasing agent Dawn Prince Hoover said they're not sharing specifics on construction or tenants for the development right now.
A rendering of the project features five- and six-story buildings, open-air dining areas, pedestrian walkways and park space.

A map of the property from The Shopping Center Group features more than a dozen buildings, what appears to be an outdoor amphitheater and a proposed pedestrian bridge that would traverse Interstate 385 and connect the project to the Swamp Rabbit Trail.

Mauldin City Administrator Trey Eubanks said he expects grading work to begin on the property this summer.
Phase one of the project will be "at least" a $100 million investment, while phase two is still "TBD," Eubanks said. But, he added, "it's going to be way up there."
At 78 acres, the investment could eclipse Greenville County's planned County Square project, which covers 37 acres near downtown Greenville and has been described as a potentially $1 billion to $1.5 billion development.
Eubanks said no formal traffic study has been done on the impact of the project.
The project will benefit from tax incentives in a deal involving the city of Mauldin and Greenville County. Mauldin City Council voted Monday night to hire a consulting engineer to serve as a project manager, overseeing the project and watching out for the city's interests.

Sesame Street Turns 50
Iconic kids' show "Sesame Street" will celebrate its 50th anniversary this weekend.
'Goodness and Humor' Celebrated as 'Sesame Street' Turns 50
This first episode of "Sesame Street" — sponsored by the letters W, S and E and the numbers 2 and 3 — aired in the fall of 1969. It was a turbulent time in America, rocked by the Vietnam War and raw from the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King the year before. The media, like today, was going through disruption.


The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) is partnering with the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC) to commemorate November as Financial Literacy Month.
As pointed out in the press release below, they are now producing videos to help home buyers. In addition, CREA released the Homebuyers' Road Map a few years ago, which is an excellent guide for home buyers to navigate through the home buying process.
As stated, REALTORS® are experienced in everything you need to know and to do when buying a home.
In all honesty, financial literacy is not limited to a particular month. It is actually something that everyone should practice on a daily basis, year-round. Responsibly managing your finances and living within your means is the only way to go. But we know it is easier said than done. What CREA has created the new videos to take viewers through the step-by-step process involving the important financial considerations needed to buy a home.
A few videos have CREA president Beth Crosbie explaining mortgage prepayments and mortgage default insurance. In the latter case, the default insurance enables the home buyer to put as little as five per cent down on a mortgage at a cost ranging from 0.6 per cent to 3.35 per cent of the purchase price of the home. It is typically added onto the mortgage, so you pay it off over the life of your mortgage.
It helps you calculate your mortgage. How much can you afford? Who do you talk to? Call a mortgage broker to help you secure low rates. Even consider taking over or assuming a seller's mortgage if the seller is locked into a lower rate than you can get at the time you buy a house. How big a down payment? What about taking advantage of the Home Buyers' Plan which allows you to use up to $25,000 in RRSPs without paying income tax as long as you pay it back over a number of years. What do you need to apply for a mortgage?
There are also explanations on the mortgage term, amortization and interest rates, as well as a list of extra costs you need to cover when buying a home. Of course, they vary across the country as not all provinces have a land transfer tax such as Manitoba. Some provinces, such as Ontario and B.C., offer first-time buyers generous exemptions on their land transfer tax.

Lot 346 - 1951 Bentley Mark VI Special
The Spirit of Motoring, London October 2017
UK Registered
Mk VI Special
The policy of rationalisation begun in the late 1930's continued at Rolls-Royce after the war with the introduction of standard bodywork on the Mk. VI Bentley. Rolls-Royce's first post-WW2 product, the Mk. VI was introduced in 1946, a year ahead of the Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith. Although mechanically similar to the Mk. VI, the latter was exclusively a coachbuilt car, the first 'standard steel' Rolls-Royce, the Silver Dawn not appearing until 1949.
With greatly improved reliability, a Bentley Mk. VI made the perfect platform to build into a special recreation – encapsulating the magic of pre-war Bentley Motoring during the golden age. Most interesting this wonderful Mk VI special was built and developed just six years after the Mk VI finally rolled off the production line in 1958 by no other the R.J.Biddle in Wiltshire. A body was built that took its inspiration from an aeronautical engineer, Eli Cotter. This car is not to be confused with specials that have been built in the last decade, as so many have, this body has remained on the car for almost 60 years.
Presented in dark blue, this striking Bentley has covered a little over 86,000 miles from new but only around 3,000 miles in the last 34 years. The car was bought by the current vendor's father in 1983 and passed on in 1988. Described to be in excellent condition throughout, this Mk. VI has been fastidiously maintained during its long family ownership with any works carried out with no expense spared. A history file and UK registration are supplied with this wonderful car that is ready to be enjoyed.

Caught On Tape Running Naked?
The minister of X's son was caught on tape running naked on the street. The minister said of the incident, "This is an attempt to ruin my reputation. Whoever victimized my son will be brought to justice. Nobody is above the law on this issue".
Sorry for the incomplete context. The minister believed his political opponents may have been behind the incident- possibly his son was stripped and forced to streak. I hope it's clear to you now. I should have made it clear in my original because there's no way the reader will know that.
To this day, I still struggle with 'in the street' vs 'on the street'. I clearly remember, 'in the street' means the pavement (the area in between the opposing sidewalks) and 'on the street' the sidewalks. I was told to say "living on the street" or the homeless person would be run over by vehicle. Applying this logic, I chose "on" to indicate that he was running on the sidewalks. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Q: Не увеличивается счетчик значений при сравнении времени Есть файл file.txt, в нем находятся n количество строк вида HH:ММ HH:ММ, где (00:00 ≤ HH:ММ ≤ 23:59). Необходимо узнать, находится ли первое значение строки(времени) в предыдущем промежутке, если да, то необходимо увеличить значение переменной int, т.е. есть строки "10:15 11:15" и "10:30 11:40". т.к "10:30" находится в промежутке "10:15 11:15", то счетчик увеличиваем.
public class TimeRecording {

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException, ParseException {
    String line;
    int count = 0;

    // читаем фаил
    BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(new File("file.txt")));

    List<Date> startList = new ArrayList<>();
    List<Date> endList = new ArrayList<>();
    //пока есть строки, добавляем в List
    while ((line = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null) {

        Date startTime = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm").parse(line.substring(0, 5));
        Date endTime = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm").parse(line.substring(6, line.length()));

        startList.add(startTime);
        endList.add(endTime);
    }

    //Проходим циклом по List, если время находится в промежутке, делаем count++
    for (int i = 0; i < startList.size(); i++) {
        Date firstTime = endList.get(1);

        if (firstTime.after(startList.get(i)) && firstTime.before(startList.get(i))) {
            count++;
        }
    }
    System.out.println(count);
}
}

Возможно я совсем не туда зашел, прошу помощи и благодарю за подсказки.

A: Попробуйте так
    for (int i = 0; i < startList.size()-1; i++) {
                Date comparedDate = startList.get(i + 1);  // Сравниваемая дата

// Сравниваем ее с датами из предыдущей строки
      if (comparedDate.after(startList.get(i)) &&  comparedDate.before(endList.get(i))) {
                    count++;
      }

Q: GraphQL: How to create a query with a curated list of parameters (a 2D array) Specifically I feel like I am looking for the answer to the question asked here, but it turns out the title of the question isn't a perfect match for the actual question.
What I am looking to do involves Relay, React, and GraphQL (I suppose I could have stated Relay, and you could have figured out the other two).
What I want to do, and what I can't seem to find an answer to, is to create a query that lists a variable list of query fragments based on some predefined JSON array.
If you look at my home page, jimmyvanveen.com you will see I have a list of projects I have worked on (or am working on), and each renders as a React component. I am pulling this data from Github through their REST API (v3) - but now I want to migrate to GraphQL (v4).
I can make an array containing the repo name, and owner as required by the Schema of Github's API, but I don't know how to dynamically create a query based off a simple array such as:
repos: [
  {"name": "repo name", "owner": "Repo Owner"},
  {"name": "other repo", "ownder": "Other Owner"}
]

I know how to make a query that can find all of this information manually, but I was hoping there was a GraphQL way (perhaps by sending vars?) to run through the entire array in one query and return the array of repo data.
I've been racking my brain for days trying to find the answer here, or anywhere, and I'm striking out.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

A: So, in the end I figured out I am in general just submitting the wrong information to Github in order to pull Repo info from a curated list.
My objective above is still not possible exactly the way I wanted to solve the problem, however the method mentioned above is very similar to a usable method that DOES work. Simply put, supply Github with an array of unique node ID's, rather than Repo Name and Repo Owner, as I had been trying to do.
This way, you are not trying to use a 2D array, and instead you are using a single array, with an equal amount of specificity as the 2D array.
So formulating an array such as:
const repos = [
  'uniqueID1',
  'uniqueID2',
  'uniqueID3',
  ...
];

...can then be passed through Relay (I had the QueryRenderer set to run on my App component) like so:
query AppQuery($repos:[ID!]!) {
   projects: nodes(ids:$repos){
     ...projects_projects
   }
 }

You can obtain the node ID's in multiple ways, but the way I did this was by pulling the repo info one by one in GraphiQL with a query such as this:
query {
  repository(owner:"JimmayVV", name:"JimmyVanVeen.com") {
    id
  }
}

I then consolidated all of these ID's into an array, and passed that through to Relay and got the desired results.
I'm sure there are other ways, perhaps using a simple Node script to formulate the array for you, but this was simple enough for me, that I am happy with it.


I have been told that apart from our subconscious, there's a part in the mind that holds all humanity's memories, which comprises all their pains and joys. it occurred to me that I may be carrying around my own ancestor's baggage- their fears etc. I would like to discover what they are and relieve myself of them. Z.
The body holds a genetic memory of the past lives, but it is in the form of a more physical blueprint of the past and not really built up on past events. You do have past lives and of course it is possible to experience those realities. Genetic memories are more like, patterned baldness, weakness to certain illnesses, over eating, etc. Consciousness can override genetic memory if you feel you are a victim to it. You have to stay focused on the positive and work every day toward whatever physical thing you are trying to overcome that is part of your genetic heritage. Daily meditation helps here as well and goes a long way. I think crystal meditation is even better suited to helping consciousness override genetic memory, as the pure energy of the crystals draws away the thinking patterns that would activate these genetic blips. But as far as experiencing past relatives pain and suffering I would have to say I have not heard of this. I think it is more likely you are experiencing your own past life pain and suffering and perhaps seeing it as the past of your relatives. It is also possible that a past relative's spirit is hanging around and because you are sensitive to it, you are picking up on that lifetime. If you make a ball of light and love and send this ball off to that past event, when you have these memories or feelings, that will go a long way to help heal them. Eventually you will fill that energy void and it will go away. The same is the case for a deceased relative that may be hanging around. Send off some love and light when you feel the need to help this person heal and move on.
I spend most of my free time meditating, watching a limited amount of TV or funny videos, or playing games like chess or checkers or some online games. My question is about playing games. I've always felt that if I win, I'm taking the victory away from my opponent. With that attitude, I've never had the drive to excel at any game I've ever played. And I realize that what we are doing is playing a game, the game of life, where there are no winners or losers. But as far as victory and defeat are concerned, is victory high on the harmonic scale? Or are the two terms not very important? Or should I spend my time better? And do you think that video games with graphic blood and violence increase aggressive tendencies in people, and, therefore partly the cause of the school shootings that have been happening in the past few years? Thank you for your time. Peace. S.
Victory over yourself is very important. You need to conquer your inner challenges and achieve success. There nothing wrong with winning and succeeding. It is natural to want to achieve, grow, and win. It fosters the inner feeling that you can do and you can achieve, which is necessary belief in the reality creating system. In physical reality competition seems like it is one opponent against another. In actuality you are fighting the forces of the inner self that do not believe you can win. If someone loses, it does not mean you stole their win! It means they did not apply themselves enough to overcome their inner belief to achieving at this particular thing. You will agree a win handed to you on a silver plate does not teach conscious much about how that win was achieved. Of course in competition you will always have winners and losers; however physical reality is much more complex, and just because you lose at one thing, does not mean you cannot win at something else. Winning is important and so is losing. Both have strong lessons that consciousness needs to learn to grow and evolve.
I do not think that violent movies or games create the violence that you see in the world. Nor do I believe that a person is driven to violence just because they play or watch violence on video. I do believe that these things are core parts of the individual that all people carry. Some people are able to control these impulses and put them to good productive use. However a small portion of people are unable to handle them and this erupts to violence. I guess what I am saying is it is not video games but the individual and what is in the inside that creates these things.


During a networking event on 8 November 2017, hict's HEMAR-team (Health Economics, Market Access and Reimbursement) organized a short brainstorm session around the newest trends and developments in health economics, from the perspective of the Belgian price and reimbursement dossiers.
The hict HEMAR-team, represented by Ann Tanghe, Sebastian Vermeersch and Lieve Staessens.
The number of innovative therapies that are made available is on the rise. It is getting more challenging to keep the balance between the available budgets and assuring access to promising, but sometimes expensive, new therapies. In practice, we see that managed entry agreements are becoming the new golden standard, while the health economic analyses at the base of each reimbursement case are losing importance. In particular, the cost-effectiveness analysis is under pressure. The importance of the size of the short-term budgetary impact outweighs the value of the inherently more technical and complex cost-effectiveness model, which mainly focusses on the broader, long-term impact.
This shift introduces some risks. The combination of cost-effectiveness analysis and budget impact analysis allows evaluators to weigh 'value' and 'value for money' objectively against the medical need and context. A cost-effectiveness analysis is often the only tool that allows evaluation of long-term effects and effects in a broader context than only the impact on pharmaceutical budgets. Even though managed entry agreements appear to be successful in assuring access to innovative therapies at an acceptable cost, they also reduce transparency and raise the risk of subjectivity. The long-term effects of this Belgian approach are not yet clear.
To counter this rising trend, we plea for additional support for the objective framework based on the balanced combination of the budget impact and the cost-effectiveness analyses. Quantifying 'value' outside the pharmaceutical budget, using mechanisms to handle uncertainties, and further development of the formal evaluation framework that allows these additional aspects to be integrated, offers a more objective, transparent and durable platform which can be used to base and evaluate managed entry agreements on.
By building on the strengths of the current system – the combination of assessment and appraisal and the use of managed entry agreements – with additional attention for more transparency and based on improved availability of basic data, a clear framework can be created, for both the evaluators and the innovative enterprises. Evaluators can base and motivate their decisions on the basis of an integrated and objective platform. Innovative enterprises have a clearer, more thorough integration of 'value', 'value for money' and 'cost' as a basis for a more objective evaluation of the value of the innovation. The approach also offers a solid base for international integration, and might be a good step towards translating the principal BENELUXA cooperation to a practical implementation.
… a policy that starts with a thorough, objective and broad evaluation of 'value', 'value for money' and 'cost', based on extensive health economic analyses.
… a policy that is open to innovative forms of managed entry agreements to enable innovation.
… a policy that is ready and able to evaluate the full therapy range on a regular basis, allowing innovation to be continuously stimulated and financed.
To allow such a policy to succeed, significant investments should be made in the transparent registration, processing and availability of basic information, which is needed to steer the policy. One example would be to make the national cost database accessible for everyone (on the ICD-level, not just the APR-DRG level), so health economic evaluations can simulate the reality as closely as possible. Granting access to the same basic information to all stakeholders avoids focusing the discussion on the inputs used for the analysis , allowing the discussion to focus on the more essential issues of cost impact and cost effectiveness. Additional effort should be directed to evidence-based research on the impact and results of for instance 'pay for performance' managed entry agreements, and the development of a platform for real-world data collection with respect for privacy, limited additional workload for registration and facilitation of cooperation and data exchange.
Healthcare is pre-eminently a multi-stakeholder domain. The design and implementation of a future-oriented policy should reflect this. Innovation is too often confronted with a debilitating fragmentation. The design and implementation of a future oriented health policy demands a joint effort and joint participation on all levels, and with all stakeholders. As a first step, investments could be made in neutral consultation bodies where stakeholders can exchange ideas.
As innovative and engaged knowledge association, driven by optimization of the healthcare sector with a passion for building bridges between stakeholders, we are continuously searching for new projects that allow us to be architect-builders of the care of the future. We aver this vision as a team on a daily basis by designing, implementing and giving life to projects of today as a basis for better healthcare tomorrow.
Together with our broad network of associated consultants, we are eager to translate your healthcare questions and problems to concrete results. More information about hict, our team and our projects can be found on www.hict.be.

Hobbs finally breaks WG Grace's record for first-class hundreds – archive, 19 August 1925
The name of Dr WG Grace no longer attaches to that particular cricket record respecting innings of a hundred and over, for batting a second time against Somerset, at Taunton yesterday, JB Hobbs scored his 127th three-figure innings. Thus almost within 24 hours the great Surrey batsman has equalled and surpassed the long-preserved record of the "Grand Old Man" of the summer game.
Hobbs's performance yesterday is the third occasion on which he has scored two separate centuries in a match. He did it against Warwickshire in 1909 and against Kent this year. When he opened the Surrey second innings with Sandham (who played a most generous and unselfish game) he set about the bowling with an increased freedom which seemed to indicate that he had felt more than he had shown the tension caused by the public's anxiety to see him equal Grace's record. He scored about twice as fast as Sandham. A "no-ball" sent down by Robertson-Glasgow in the first over of the innings was skied by Hobbs and caught at cover-point. Hobbs continued to score freely until JC White went on, when he slowed down, and failed to score, in fact, off twenty consecutive balls.
An Escape at 97
When Hobbs got into the nineties the spectators were overcome with excitement, and there was quite a gasp when, at 97, he stepped out to a ball from Young and missed. Hill, behind the stumps, took the ball but failed to whip off the bails. Hobbs reached his hundred with three more singles after batting for two hours and 25 minutes.
This century was his fourteenth of the season, which, incidentally, breaks another record, the previous record being thirteen centuries in a season which was shared by Hayward, Hendren, and CB Fry.
When Hobbs came in at the conclusion of the match the crowd surged the pavilion and called for a speech. Hobbs said: "I am very happy to have achieved a lifelong ambition in beating the record of Dr WG Grace. I would clearly have liked to make these two hundreds at the Oval, but next to that there is no county I would have preferred to score them against than Somerset."
In an interview at Taunton last night Hobbs said :— "I want to pay a tribute to Sandham, who played a wonderfully unselfish game and nursed me with great skill. But for him I should not have been near a century when Surrey obtained the required number of runs."

Points2Shop Forums » Support » Account Issue.
Hey guys. I recently (7-22) attempted an order, which got denied. Reason: Please fix your account issues. So I sent in a support ticket, requesting what account issues i had. They didn't respond. In fact, they just closed/completed the ticket without a response. So I sent another ticket in, and it is pending.
I heard somewhere that if your IP doesn't match your address, then it's an account issue. Nowhere on the Whois lookup can i find my address, and I'm thinking points2shop confused this adress (My ISP's address) for my address. I use Road Runner, and 13241 Woodland Park Road is the address of RR HQ.
I looked up my IP on whatismyipaddress.com and looked at the Geo-location Information, and on the map it's about 5 miles from my house.
Do you think this could be the account issue? My order has been delayed since 7-22, and in that time the person i wanted to buy my item from moved from amazon to ebay. I was going to order a 10" hookah, which came with 10 coals and 50g of shisha for 2418 points. Now the seller moved to ebay, so i can't buy the product, and i had to settle for buying a 12" hookah and shisha separate for 3200 points, and i had to buy 16 charocoals with my pre-paid debit card for $5.75. I actually recieved the coals today. still waiting on Points2Shop.
This is my signature. Theres nothing worth reading here. If youre still reading, you probably understand that youre about halfway through a signature that is completely pointless. Oh well, too late. Congratulations. You win. Or lose. Lol you're still reading it.
You shouldn't post your address here.
james didn't you read it? I said it's the address of my ISP.
Also, I'm sure the ticket is closed after 48 hours or 72 hours if they don't answer. If they have been busy since then, that's probably why it wasn't answered.
lpundrgrnd1 i had the same problem admin said i was useing p2s from a dif address they said i was conecting from 500 miles away from where i live when they told me the address i was logging on from i googled it and i found out that the place i was ment to be logging on from was my internet providers own premises..
james922ok, They cant be 100% correct ... Thats why it seems very weird that Points2Shop can valid by address? Unless they have better software to handle that... I run a dynamic IP address, from my ISP. So it can vary address each day?
But that site actually got my IP/Location correct for a change ^^... Hope you can resolve the issue lpunddrgrnd1.
I sure hope so Fred, It's been delayed 1 1/2 months and I'm about done. I'll actually be gold in 2 days, which doesn't make a difference to me. I just want what I've earned.

Boosting Business With Facebook Statistics and Analytics
January 30, 2017 by Tech Help Canada Staff Leave a Comment
Social media has become a powerful tool in the field of business. Startup companies still on the verge of gaining momentum and gaining a wider audience can use social media to help them achieve those business goals. Most consumers today are almost always present on social media, especially Facebook. Many of them interact with businesses through their Facebook accounts. Today, we will help you understand how to use Facebook statistics and its analytics to build your brand.
Important Facebook Statistics
Facebook revealed that it has 1.44 billion monthly active users as of the first quarter of 2015. It also reported that another 1.25 billion people who visited Facebook were mobile users and most of these users become fans of Facebook pages.
Fast forward to 2016 when the company reported a huge 1.79 billion monthly active users (Facebook MAU for short, reported on 11/02/2016). This number is expected to grow by 16% in 2017. This catapults the social networking site as a valuable website for businesses, making it a platform where companies can promote their products and services too.
How To Boost Business With Facebook
As a business owner, knowing how to interpret Facebook statistics and analytics, including social media statistics, in general, can be crucial to success. Facebook analytics allows businesses to benefit from the wide range of available audience information on the platform.
Here are some ways that you can use Facebook to boost business:
1) Have a Good Online Profile
The first step for tapping into all the advantages of being on Facebook is by putting up a Facebook page for your company. One obvious reason to do so is because you want to make a good first impression. Having a social media page with eye-catching visuals, a good number of likes and a high level of engagement among users will have a positive effect on the perception of your business.
2) Take Advantage of Facebook Tools
It's essential to track social media numbers. By doing so, you can measure success and ensure that goals are being reached.
As an example, startup company A puts up a Facebook page to promote its brand of sneakers. The company promotes the sneakers on Facebook to catch the eye of young men between ages 18 to 25 years old. It checks its Facebook statistics to know if it has captured the attention of its target market based on page impressions and engagement.
One of the tracking tools used in social media is Facebook Insights, which gives businesses valuable Facebook stats about their audience. It can give your company a glimpse, not just of the user demographics but also how your audience behaves online, using metrics such as likes and shares.
3) Use Extended Networks to Grow Your Facebook Page
The Pew Research Center says 27% of adults aged 18-29 have over 500 friends on the social networking site. To a company, this is good news. Once a Facebook user likes a company's post/product, he or she has the option to share it, which expands the post reach.
Another good news is that people expand their networks almost regularly. This can help your business win over more clients and catch the eyeballs of potential customers.
Tip: Good Content leads to Shares, which leads to more Reach!
4) Target and Retarget Through Ads
Sometimes, having a Facebook business page isn't enough to ramp up brand awareness. You can use Facebook ads to reach more people and possible customers. These ads are the modern day equivalent of print advertisements. For startup businesses, they are powerful tools for reaching a wider audience.
5) Address Client Issues Immediately
Once a startup or small business goes on Facebook, it inches closer to its clients. It opens itself up to feedback, both negative and positive. Companies can act quickly to address complaints posted by Facebook users. Studies show that consumers like companies who listen to their complaints and answer their inquiries timely. You can use customer feedback as constructive criticism.
6) Strengthen Brand Loyalty
Texas Tech University study says companies in social media platforms have loyal clients. This is not at all surprising. Businesses with an online presence foster trust and goodwill with their customers. Being on Facebook also helps firms take their reputation a notch higher.
Consumers believe that companies with social media pages are more likely to be reliable than the alternative. This makes sense because, for one, they know how to reach you and second, being active on social can show off the human side of your business.
7) Increase Sales and Capture Leads
Social networking sites bring businesses in front of consumers. It puts companies and brands in the limelight for all consumers to see. With the right team in place, increasing company sales or lead conversion is easier. Social media marketing, spearheaded by Facebook ads can help you stay connected to clients.
Tip: Offer promos and sweepstakes that can attract more people.
8) Widen Your Customer Base
By maintaining a solid presence on Facebook, there's a good chance of increasing interest in your company, its products, and services. Social network sites are amplifiers of business and it's wise to use them well.
Expanding Your #Business Reach With FacebookClick To Tweet
For big and small companies, Facebook is a viable platform for marketing. No one can argue with that when faced with Facebook statistics showing 1.79 billion global monthly active users. Furthermore, as the number of Facebook users continues to soar, there's no way for your company to go but up. Anticipate success on the horizon if you know how to use this platform wisely.

Ultra-left Michigan democrat Congressman John Conyers is derisive of the very idea that representatives ought to read the Health Care Reform Bill nationalizing 16% of the American economy and undoubtedly resulting in the federal government assuming the power of making life or death choices affecting countless numbers of Americans.
I love these members, they get up and say, 'Read the bill,'" said Conyers.
"What good is reading the bill if it's a thousand pages and you don't have two days and two lawyers to find out what it means after you read the bill?
They wouldn't understand it anyway, is the point Conyers is making.
Isn't it wonderful that so many Americans decided to put this kind of power into the hands of representatives so responsible?
One Feedback on ""Actually Read the Bill? Nah! Not Worth the Bother""
What leadership! Or should it be, what leadership?


Frank O'Leary combined exceptional athletic performances with valuable coaching service to put together an outstanding athletic career as a competitor and as a coach. His record of achievement and contribution set a high standard for others to follow.
As an athlete, between 1967 and 1971 he established age group provincial records for the shot put, discus and javelin. He was 17 when he broke the provincial senior javelin record for the first time and continued his assault upon that event for 20 years, during which he was undefeated as a javelin thrower.
He won the provincial senior javelin championship every year from 1970 to 1989. His provincial senior javelin record lasted for 21 years from 1970 to 1991. While he dominated provincial javelin within Newfoundland and Labrador, he was extremely successful in competitions in Canada, United States and Great Britain.
It is interesting to note that while he dominated javelin throwing he consistently placed well in the shot put, hammer throw and the pole vault, winning medals at competitions at various locations.
During a competitive career spanning almost 25 years, O'Leary raised the provincial javelin record by almost thirty-two feet, from the mid sixties mark of 160 feet to 191 feet 9 inches. He coached the athletes who subsequently broke his records.
His coaching career began in 1975 while he was still competing. A national level 3 certified coach for javelin and shot put, he served as provincial throwers coach travelling around the province, including Labrador, to conduct training clinics. He inaugurated a winter training program for throws athletes.
He served as vice-president for the provincial athletic association, inaugurated a quarterly "Throwers" magazine to provide athletes outside St. John's with training and coaching information, and was throwers coach at Royal Canadian Legion national championships in St. John's. He was selected by the provincial organization to attend high level coaching clinics at Montreal World Cup.
In 1983 he received a certificate of achievement for outstanding contributions to athletics and formed an association with Bill Heikkila of Sport Canada, a former Canadian record holder in javelin, to improve his personal competitive training and coaching development.
He was deeply involved with physically challenged athletes who were involved in athletics and coached individuals like wheelchair athlete Joanne McDonald and blind athlete Bill Royle for national competition.
Included in the many athletes who benefited from his interest and coaching ability were provincial recorder holders Libby Wadland, Terry Dyer, Dave Dyer, Tony Granter, Lloyd Taylor and Steve Wiseman.
