Woke up this morning in a great mood. I had an appointment to get my hair cut and colored. I'm not sure about you, but when I have a fresh cut and color, I feel like I'm ten years younger. The euphoria may last one day or may last several weeks depending on how stressful the rest of my life is at the time. But I always take time to bask in the buoyancy of my artificially created youth high.
Today is Christi's 25th birthday. I ordered balloons to be delivered to her at work. (Never, ever miss out on a public opportunity to display your love for your child. It makes up for all the times they have embarrassed the fool out of you in a restaurant or department store.) I sent out the traditional "Happy Birthday" song text before I even got out of bed. I got out of bed feeling like super mom.
When I looked in the bathroom mirror, hair askew and face puffy from sleep, it hit me like a punch in the stomach. CHRISTI IS 25!!! That is two and one half DECADES! How did 25 years slip past me. It seemed like as I slept, my daughter took her first steps, said her first words, went to her first day of school, had her first kiss, graduated from high school, went to college and moved four states away from me. My heart didn't understand where the time went, but the face staring at me in the bathroom mirror had seen every single minute's passage.
I must have had some sort of emotional ESP when I made the hair dresser appointment for this day. Not early, not late. Just in the middle of the day. Not too soon to not be appreciated and not too late to curb the emotional tide. So I went to my appointment and came out feeling ten years younger. My grey hair expertly masked as "highlights" with a fresh little cut that swings just slightly with my jaunty little steps.
I will never understand why my birthday doesn't bother me at all but the kids' birthdays make me stutter just a little. Oh, well, all I know for sure is on October 25th 2013 I plan on being in a spa somewhere south of the equator drinking a fruity little drink with an umbrella in it. This will be the day Matthew turns 30!

Prosperity and Protection
December 1, 2012 | Guru Singh (LA)
Categories: Our Stories
Written by Guru Singh Khalsa, Los Angeles, California in 2012:
"[Aap Sahaa-ee Ho-aa by Guru Arjan Dev] will totally eliminate enemies and block the impact of animosity forever; it can give you mental self-control. If chanted for 62 minutes (the best time being between 3 and 4 am), it can relieve unbearable financial pressure. This meditation from the Siri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is a gift to you that will let you penetrate the unknown without fear. It will give you protection and mental balance." ~The Siri Singh Sahib
One of the earliest family businesses was known as Golden Temple Industries, doing business as Sunshine Brass Beds. The year was 1980 and the American economy had just gone into a recession.
Sunshine Brass Beds was facing a huge dilemma: we were selling to all of the major department stores around the United States and they were struggling in the economic downturn. Our particular problem, for the year 1980, was significant: we faced a half-million-dollar balance in our Accounts Receivable that we were unable to collect.
It was a Friday morning, and the Siri Singh Sahib was leaving Los Angeles to teach White Tantric yoga. I was among those who were accompanying him to the airport. I approached him in the waiting area and explained our company's financial dilemma.
Conquering Obstacles
He turned to Bibiji and said, "What is that perfect mantra that overcomes every obstacle no matter what?" She thought for a moment and then replied, "Aap Sahaa-ee Ho-aa!"
"That's it!" He said, "Aap Sahaa-ee Ho-aa. Record this and have it playing 24 hours of every day in your office."
These were the days before CDs and before Mp3s. We had to figure out how to create a cassette tape that would play 24 hours a day, seven days a week. I went to Radio Shack and found cassette tapes that were used in answering machines that operated as a continuous loop. You could buy them in 30, 60, and 90-second varieties.
I chose the 60-second version and returned to the brass bed factory and gathered all of the workers together. We rehearsed and rehearsed chanting the mantra so that we could exactly take up 60 seconds.
I pushed the record button, and we began chanting—the rest was a series of miracles. The little cassette player played and played its heart out, day in and day out, week in and week out.
For months the chanting filled in behind everything else that was going on in our company. After about a month and a half we began to have new ideas of ways to sell and market our product. These ideas were innovative and creative and immediately began to capture the attention of our customers.
By the end of the third month our business had completely changed course and we were paying off our massive debt. By the end of the fifth month, we had reinvented ourselves and were almost doing the same amount of business we had been doing in sales before the economy went down.
By the end of the seventh month, I walked into my offices one day and heard nothing. There was no chanting playing in the background.
It was an eerie sensation. I rushed to the cassette tape player and opened it up. The tape was completely used up. All the recording surfaces had been worn off. The tape was still turning, but there was no sound whatsoever.
I picked up the phone and immediately called the Siri Singh Sahib. "The tape has stopped working!" I explained to him.
"How is the business doing?" he asked.
"Business is very good, Sir!" I answered.
"Then the tape is working forever!" he replied with laughter. "Listen carefully and you will always hear it playing in the background." It was true; we never had another downturn in the history of that company.
AAp Sahaa-ee Hoaa
During your most difficult times, Guru comes to stand by you as your protector.
When this mantra is chanted for 62 minutes during the ambrosial hours, it can relieve unbearable financial pressure and give you mental self-control. It is said to totally eliminate enemies and block the impact of animosity forever.
This mantra is a gift to you that will let you penetrate the unknown without fear. It will give you protection and mental balance.
Sachay daa sachaa doaa
You, Divine One, have become my refuge.
True is Your support,
Great Creative Infinite.
~From Mantra: Personal Guidance through the Power of the Word by Bibiji Inderjit Kaur Khalsa

On the Value of Being Smart
By Daniel Miessler in Creativity
Created/Updated: December 17, 2019
In my line of work it's considered high praise to be considered "super smart".
Oh yeah, she's super smart.
And it was the same growing up for me. There was always heavy focus on how intelligent someone was. Are they as smart as me? Are they smarter than you? Who's smarter–this guy or that guy?
It's kid stuff, but it's kid stuff that doesn't quite go away in adulthood–especially in certain industries.
But as we enter the working world and establish lives off of the playground we begin to see something strange: the smartest people don't necessarily do the best.
Or at least the people we thought as smartest. The math guy, the chess guy, the spelling bee champion–whatever.
When you're young you just assume those are going to be the most successful people in your group.
In adult life the question starts to change, and I think it changes based on one's value system. But one thing that doesn't change is the abandoning of intelligence as the supreme metric.
For some the game becomes:
How successful of a family can I raise?
The highest intelligence doesn't necessarily get you the best result there. It helps, but it's not as important as having a successful, happy family.
Someone else might ask:
How much can I improve education for girls in Somalia?
This requires some intelligence, but mostly hinges on having a great heart and tons of determination.
My particular brand of value is producing output that is intellectually or philosophically useful in some way–particularly in creating or clarifying ideas that can be used as levers to solve problems. Most importantly the big problem of how best to live.
The catch all, however, is the creation of value.
So I'd say that the adult version of "he's hella smart" is (or I'd say should be) that "he creates tons of value".
The race car analogy
So here's an analogy that I thought of this morning as I was waking up.
Smarts, or intelligence, is the race car engine. Tricked out, souped up, mean as hell, 24 cylinders, 7500 horsepower. Whatever.
But it's sitting in the lab.
It's not hooked up to a chassis. It's got no steering. It's got no suspension. There's no transmission. And it has no brakes.
That's smarts when we were kids.
Holy crap look at that engine! I bet he can beat anyone on the track! He'd leave everyone in the dust!
Etc, etc.
But now we're all grown up, and it's time to be effective in the real world. And that means going around the track.
And it's not one of those left turn tracks either. It's got straightaways, and left turns, and right turns, and obstacles. Maybe gun turrets too. That'd be cool.
The value you can produce is no longer the noise you can make, or the stats you can put up, in the lab.
It's about getting around the track. Effectively and often. It's about output.
The important part here is that you can't do these without the following:
A transmission (education and experience) that lets you use the engine effectively
A suspension and steering system (a moral compass) that lets you guide the vehicle
Brakes (emotional stability) that let you reach higher speeds safely
The vehicle is a system, and the engine is only one part of it.
So when I hear that someone is smart, or hella smart, or this person is way smarter than that person, my question is simple:
Have they put that engine into a vehicle, or are they still in the shop talking about how fast they'll be?
And this isn't a lunge at people who are smart, or who are smarter than others. I also take pride in being pretty smart, and that's kind of the point—it's a reminder to myself as well.
There's no value in being smart by itself. Produce or it means nothing. And judge yourself by the value you produce for others.
I spend my time reading 3-6 books a month on security, technology, and society—and thinking about what might be coming next.
Every Monday I send out a list of the best content I've found in the last week to around 50,000 people.
It'll save you tons of time.

What happens when you are a self-taught make-up artist who can prove your have talent in the industry but you have no background in beauty for school? Is there a place you can go in person or online to actually get a physical degree for make-up arts?
You can set up an online portfolio. You can showcase before and after shots on different women as well as show how to do make-up via Youtube on videos.
I am not sure you can get certified for something like this online. Most make-up artists aren't certified, they just have a natural talent.
A lot of women on YouTube do make-up and this shows how good they are. It is pretty hard to do artistic level make-up on yourself but it helps to showcase you doing it on other people.
I agree about establishing an online presence. In today's world, you can land work and become popular by applying your talents on an online canvas if you will.
Just be sure not to stress yourself out over it. Be committed but remain sound and happy. A lot of people who pursue things without a paper saying they have a background in it become easily discouraged and stressed.


Make sure you file your tickets!
Back in 1998 some downtown city councilors tried to get Vancouver's anti-panhandling/squeegeeing bylaw passed a City Hall. A group of street youth began organizing around this and formed an alliance with the Ontario Coalition Against Poverty. OCAP began collecting tickets from street people and contesting them in court, winning almost 100% of the cases. Meanwhile mass squeegees and marches were organized in defense of street youth under attack. Eventually the by-law was deferred, only to come back provincially as the Safe Streets Act.
Due to the high volume of tickets being handed out by police to poor and homeless people OCAP became overwhelmed in paperwork and some downtown community legal clinics began taking the tickets to court. All of this work has been gong on with no funding or help from Legal Aid Ontario.
OCAP then began a constitutional battle against the Safe Streets Act and while the Act was being contested all tickets were put on hold pending the verdict. Well the verdict is in, although the judge did find the law to be in disagreement with the Charter of Rights and Freedoms he felt that it was more of a safety issue and allowed the law to stay on the books. In other words the safety and rights of poor people are not worth as much as those of the rich.
Well all those tickets that were on hold are passing through the courts and people are being found guilty and sentenced to months in jail or years on probation! All without proper representation because Legal Aid Ontario won't represent people charged with provincial offenses even though they are facing possible jail time. People are being ticketed because they are poor and asking for help and when they are unable to pay these poverty fines they are expected to be able to afford a lawyer to keep them out of jail? This is blatant class discrimination, again proving that this bylaw was passed directed at a certain class of people, poor people, and that is in violation of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. On top of that this Act is actually quasi criminal law and the province doesn't have the jurisdiction in these matters, criminal law is a federal matter. And that were only 2 of our arguments!
So people it is more important than ever to file your tickets unless you want to spend the rest of the winter in a jail cell.
You can drop off your tickets at Youth Link Inner City, Queen West Community Health Centre, SHOUT Clinic, Street Health, the Corner Drop-In, PARC, the Meeting Place, Parkdale Community Legal Services, and at the OCAP office.


A Roboadvisor is kind of like getting your investment advice from the McDonald's drive through window. It's a website that provides automated financial advice with minimal human intervention. They basically use an algorithm and some basic input from the client to form a set of investment recommendations that your assets are invested into.
Up until now, the high minimum amounts required for personal investment advice has left the middle class in the cold. Also, these services tend to price out at a rate which you have to be rich to pay. But now here comes McDonald's. A simple website, a math equation, a low fee – sounds good, right? How do I hand over the keys to the car?
Well, there is one factor that is being overlooked: human emotion. People are emotional about their money. What may seem like a good idea on paper can be seen in a different light when it has a real impact on your real life.
As an experienced financial advisor, I understand how human beings tend to behave when they see their money vanishing before their eyes. Let me walk you through how a typical conversation goes every time I bring on a new client.
Me: So Beth, you've got a long time horizon until your kids go to college, 20 years. Would you say you're an aggressive, moderate, or conservative investor?
Beth: Aggressive, for sure. I don't need this money for a while so I don't really care what happens to it. Put me in the most aggressive allocation you have.
Me: Are you certain about that?
Me: Well, you've got $100k to start with. Assuming 35% annual standard deviation, which is my most aggressive allocation, you would have had $650k during the market crash of 2008. How does that sound?
Beth: Oh no, Sara, on second thought, I'm afraid to take that much risk. Put my money into something more conservative. I can't put my three kids to college on that amount of money. And, yes, I forgot that my mother is retiring this year so I'll need to give her $2k per month. Can you factor that in? Sorry Sara, I forgot to tell you that before. It just slipped my mind!
See what I mean? This scenario illustrates how a simple conversation can bring us back in line with what potential outcomes will really mean for our lives.
In summary, although circumstances vary widely from one to another, I would say that roboadvisor platforms are a good way to get financial advice for those who have no emotion attached to their money, a long time horizon, and simple requirements.
If you do have complicated trust and estate issues, a need for cash flow planning, or simply are not willing to hand over the keys to the car, better to opt for a human financial advisor. Although many require minimum portfolio values of $500k or greater, there are some out there that will take on a smaller one. They are a bit harder to find.
Indeed, McDonald's can be a great option, but before you put the pedal to the metal you may want to consult Zagat's and see what else is out there.

            System.out.println(parts[j]);
            if(parts[j].equals("A")) {

                Car.A aJson=c.new A();

                if(parts[j+1].equals("aa")) {

and the output:
A_aa
A
aa
A_ab
A
ab
A_ac
A
ac
A_ad
A
ad
B_BB_ba
B
BB
ba
B_BB_BBB_bb
B
BB
BBB
bb
{"A":{"aa":"1"}}

I think now it will be easier for you to write the rest ;)

A: Your question can be divided into 2 sub-questions.
Q1: How to transform the underscore('_') separated string pattern into nested map. Because once you can achieve this, you can convert the map to JSON string by using any one of the most popular Json libraries such as Jackson or Gson,
Q2: How to parse a CSV file. I think there are already many articles discussed about this.
For the first sub-question, inspired by @Andreas's answer in Generate Nested Map from Path String in Java, the problem can be solved with following function:
public static void generateNestedMap(Map<String, Object> map, String path, Object value) {
    int start = 0;
    for (int end; (end = path.indexOf('_', start)) != -1; start = end + 1)
        map = (Map<String, Object>) map.computeIfAbsent(path.substring(start, end), k -> new HashMap<String, Object>());
    map.put(path.substring(start), value);
}

Then you can store given strings and corresponding values in a map, says Map<String, Object> result as follows:
Code snippet
Map<String, Object> result = new HashMap<>();
generateNestedMap(result, "A_aa", 1);
generateNestedMap(result, "A_ab", 2);
generateNestedMap(result, "A_ac", 3);
generateNestedMap(result, "A_ad", 4);
generateNestedMap(result, "B_BB_ba", 5);
generateNestedMap(result, "B_BB_BBB_bb", 6);
System.out.println(result.toString());

Console output

{A={aa=1, ab=2, ac=3, ad=4}, B={BB={BBB={bb=6}, ba=5}}}

After that, you can easily convert the map to a JSON string with Jackson library as follows:
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
String jsonStr = mapper.writeValueAsString(result);
System.out.println(jsonStr);

And its output should be:

{"A":{"aa":1,"ab":2,"ac":3,"ad":4},"B":{"BB":{"BBB":{"bb":6},"ba":5}}}

For the second sub-question, there are also many libraries such as OpenCSV or Apache Commons CSV to handle this and I won't go into details.

A: First, split the two lines to get a names and a values array:
    String line1 = "A_aa,A_ab,A_ac,A_ad,B_BB_ba,B_BB_BBB_bb";
    String line2 = "1,2,3,4,5,6";

    String[] names = line1.split(",");
    String[] values = line2.split(",");

Create a structure of Maps and add each name/value pair to it:
    Map<String,Object> root = new HashMap<>();
    for (int i = 0; i < names.length; ++i) {
        String name = names[i];
        String value = values[i];
        addValue(root, name.split("_"), value);
    }

Method addValue looks like this:
private static void addValue(Map<String,Object> map, String[] path,
        String value) {
    for (int i = 0; i < path.length-1; ++i) {
        String elem = path[i];
        Object current = map.get(elem);
        Map<String,Object> map2;
        if (current instanceof Map) {
            map2 = (Map<String,Object>)map.get(elem);
        } else {
            map2 = new HashMap<>();
            map.put(elem, map2);
        }
        map = map2;
    }
    map.put(path[path.length-1], value);
}

Finally, convert the structure to JSON. Here, library Gson is used:
    Gson gson = new GsonBuilder().setPrettyPrinting().create();
    gson.toJson(root, System.out);

A: The CSV file's first row contains field headers (the underline is used to represent the hierarchical relationship. Detail data begins from the second row. Your need is to transform the CSV to JSON. The difficulty lies in dynamic parsing because it involves grouping, recursion, loop, conditional judgment and string concatenation. The code will be really lengthy if you try to achieve your task using Java.
It is easy to achieve this using SPL, the open-source Java package. Five lines of code are enough:

A
B

1
=file("json.csv").import@cw()

2
=i=0,A1(1).(~.split("_")).(~|A1(2)(#)).(~.run(~="\""/~/"\""))

3
func recurse(AA)
>B1=left(B1,-i)/"{}"/right(B1,i),i+=1,AA.group(~(1)).(if(~.len()==1 && ~(1).len()==2,B1=left(B1,-i)/~(1).concat(":")/right(B1,i),(B1=left(B1,-i)/~(1)(1)/":"/right(B1,i),func(recurse,~.(~.m(2:))))))

4
=func(recurse,A2)

5
=replace(replace(B1,"\"\"","\",\""),"}\"","},\"")

SPL offers JDBC driver to be invoked by Java. Just store the above SPL script as recurse.splx and invoke it in Java as you call a stored procedure:
…
Class.forName("com.esproc.jdbc.InternalDriver");
con= DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:esproc:local://");
st = con.prepareCall("call recurse()");
st.execute();

Dinosaurs Are Not for Boys
I had my first encounter with a dinosaur in the same place most people do: in a museum. The dinosaur in question was a sauropod (long-necked dinosaur) called Mamenchisaurus. It was a Chinese dinosaur on display at a museum in Cardiff, Wales, where we were living at the time.
I decided there and then that I was going to be a palaeontologist when I grew up.
I had just turned four.
My grade three art project, in which we were asked to illustrate our favorite things. I wrote my name in dinosaurs.
I have always loved museums. As a child, I loved to visit them, especially the ones that had dinosaurs. My family, and especially my grandmother, indulged my interest. Every year, new dinosaur books, models and paraphernalia would arrive at Christmas and on my birthday.
As a special treat, my Grandma would sometimes take me to the mall to pick out my own present. When we asked at the toy store or bookshop where the dinosaur material was, we were usually directed to the 'boys' section. There we would find not only the dinosaur books and models I wanted, but also dinosaurs (usually of the T. rex-type variety) transformed into laser-gun touting robots. Where dinosaurs crept into the 'girls' section, they were either pink and fluffy with gigantic, doleful eyes, or somehow associated with Wilma Flintstone.From a marketing point of view, I suppose this must have made sense. From a scientific point of view, it was utterly nonsensical. It was like trying to say that 'flies are for boys' while 'beetles are for girls'.
Examples of dinosaur toys pitched at boys.
I also have a clear memory of taking one of my prize dinosaur models, an Iguanadon, to school for show-and-tell when I seven. One of my female classmates told me "I don't like dinosaurs. They're for boys." I remember responding emphatically, "Dinosaurs are not for boys! They're for everyone!"
Amen, seven-year-old self.
Now that I am a palaeontologist at the Royal Saskatchewan Museum, I am an avid advocate of promoting palaeontology to girls and women. I strive to be a good role model to students and volunteers who work with me, and to encourage these young people to challenge stereotypes and pursue their passions and interests.
Some of the young women who volunteer with me during 'Tea & Fossils' at the T. rex Discovery Centre.
Thanks in part to the push to get more women into the STEM disciplines, palaeontology is no longer considered a 'man's field'. However, the discipline still suffers from what is known as a 'leaky pipe': although an equitable number of men and women receive palaeontology degrees, women are still greatly underrepresented at the professional level (i.e. museum curators or university professors). There is still a lot of work that needs to be done before true gender equity is achieved.
Two of my female summer students, working in a fossil quarry,
Museums have a critical role to play in encouraging girls and women to pursue their passions in science. Museum exhibits, programs and research are an opportunity to present fact and reality, challenging the biases and misinformation that is often present in the media. In a museum, dinosaurs are presented as animals in complex biological systems, not as laser-touting half-robots that can be assigned to a gender.
My nephew and my niece, who both love dinosaurs.
I now have the pleasure of being an aunt to a handful of awesome kids. My siblings have possibly noticed my secret agenda of turning them all – my nieces and my nephew – into palaeontologists.
Emily Bamforth, Ph.D.


Hey Eleanor! I Made A Podcast! – Hey Eleanor!
Holy crap guys. After three years of the Go Fork Yourself podcast, I finally figured out how to do this stuff all on my own. Or at least I think I did. I'm a little nervous about how the first-ever Hey Eleanor Podcast turned out, but ya know what? It's better to be done & put it out there versus having it be perfect & waiting forever.
I'm planning on having lots of guests on the show, but since this was the debut episode, I figured I best be telling people about who I am and what I'm all about. Therefore, this one is just me talking.
I really appreciate your honest feedback, so please feel free to reach out.
Here's some pics from our road trip to Vermont.
Want to see me jump out of a plane and not die? Here ya go.
A link to all eight minutes of my stand-up comedy set.
Last but not least, my hunting video (not for the faint of heart).
I love the line about it not being hard to find scary things to do. Scary things are all over the place if you're actively looking for them!
That is 10000 percent true. Try to think about it as you go through your day and you will be shocked.
Since you said you like people to share, I thought I'd tell you about the scary thing my husband and I are going to do in a week and a half. We are moving from Anchorage, AK to Spokane, WA! Scary. I'm nervous to be in a new town with no family or close friends nearby. I hope to be able to get past myself and do fun things in a new place. Do you have any advice for me as I start this new adventure?
That sounds exciting AND scary! My biggest piece of advice is to think of it as an opportunity to be a tourist in your own town. Explore like crazy. Also, try to become a regular somewhere– your local coffee shop, bar, restaurant. Find your own Cheers & get to know the people who work there. Makes life more fun.
Super excited to listen to this!
You've been doing awesome work with Andrew on his podcast for years, glad you have your own now! Stay amazing Molly!
Thank you so much! I'm really excited about it & hope I don't let ya down. Appreciate you checking it out.

Victorian Garden Urns
Fill an old cast-iron container with flowers to brighten a front entry, top it with glass for a patio table, or fit it with a bubbler for a water feature
By Amy R. Hughes
Share All sharing options for: Victorian Garden Urns
Though different in size and style, both these urns at Demolition Depot in New York City are examples of the campana form, which means they are shaped like upside-down bells.

Back in the day—way back, in Victorian times—having iron in your garden was a status symbol. Not just some old chunk of ore, but an ornate cast-iron urn, the kind you'd imagine overflowing with rare plants at Versailles.
You see, in the second half of the 19th century, besides covering practically every indoor surface with velvet, lace, or busy wallpaper, the Victorians gussied up their outdoor spaces, too. "It was a 'more is more' atmosphere," says Barbara Israel, owner of Barbara Israel Garden Antiques in Katonah, New York. "Decorating your small garden with vine-filled urns meant that you were cultured and you had the money to afford indulgences." The trend was led by America's emerging middle class, which could afford to devote land to beds full of vibrant annuals and romantic winding paths, rather than farm crops.
Early cast-iron urns, which date to about 1850, were modeled after ancient Greek and Roman architecture, with fluted, columnlike sides, scalloped cornices around the rims, and boxy pedestal bases reminiscent of a sturdy foundation. Handles sometimes took the forms of snakes, maidens, or mythological beasts. By 1880, urns were more fanciful, with the sorts of Rococo embellishments—cherubs, shells, and flowers—that characterized flamboyant 18th-century French furniture.
Major manufacturers of the time, including J. L. Mott Iron Works in New York and Wood & Perot in Pennsylvania, let you create your own designs, offering through mail-order catalogs a wide selection of urns that could be customized by swapping out different bowls, bases, and handles, Israel says. You could also choose among bronze, green, brown, and black finishes.
The shape of this elaborate 19th-century urn at Demolition Depot, with its shallow, wide bowl, is called tazza, which is Italian for "cup."
After a few years outside, cast-iron urns require a new coat of paint to prevent rust. So when purchasing a vintage urn at a salvage yard or garden-ornament shop today, it's best just to find a well-proportioned one in a style you like. Don't even attempt to restore the original finish; beneath that top layer of flaky paint, there will be many, many more. "All I try to do is maintain the texture," says Israel, who knocks off chips with a wire brush and then applies a fresh coat of paint. "If you sandblast it, you lose that wonderful mottled surface, and then that lovely old piece will look like a reproduction," she adds.
Prices for garden urns vary widely, from about $150—what I paid for a used but not very old, midsize 3-footer that I turned into a fountain—to $2,500 or more for larger and highly ornamented 19th-century antiques.
An urn's versatility, particularly in the yard, can make up for a high price. In addition to using one as a water feature, you can top a single urn with glass for a custom dining table. Or for a more modern take on using cast iron to keep up with the Joneses, position a small pair at your front entry or mount them on -masonry posts at the end of your driveway to boost your home's curb appeal.

The Brier Score, as originally introduced in 1950, is a measure of the effectiveness of weather predictions.
As probabilities implied by betting markets add up to more than 100%, we first adjust the odds pro-rata to determine the probabilities of each outcome for a match.
The Brier Score per match is the sum of the square difference of the probability and actual results. Let's take the match Liverpool vs Crystal Palace on 8th November. Pinnacle Sports odds implied a 58.3% chance of Liverpool to win and a 24.5% chance of draw. The outcome was a Crystal Palace win at a predicted possibility of just 17.1%.
The probabilities for Win:Draw:Loss were 0.583:0.245:0.171 with the actual result being 0:0:1, where one stands for the actual outcome. The differences are 0.583:0.245:0.829. The sum of the square differences are 0.5832 + 0.2452 + 0.8292 = 1.0875. This is the Brier Score for this match.
The Brier score can range from 0, if odds guessed the outcome directly by stating there is 100% chance of only one outcome to be correct, to 2, if odds implied that one outcome is certain and that did not occur.
However, if we had to just throw outcomes at random and say that a home win, draw or away win are equally likely, then our Brier score would be 0.667, irrespective of the outcome.
The table below shows the Brier score per team in the Premiership. What we note is that some of the surprises are actually vindicated in the stats: Chelsea, Liverpool and West Ham are not performing as expected while for Arsenal and Manchester City it is business as usual.
You can see on the Pinnacle website how they applied this to check on individual teams and in a future blog we'll apply it to different months in the football season.

The last 15 years working in fashion and advertising as a freelance make up artist has ticked all the boxes I set out to achieve at the beginning of my career.
After training at the prestigious School of Make up Manchester UK, I was full of big goals, big dreams and big ambition.
Published work on the Highstreet, tv and in glossy magazines.
Worked with Celebrities and high profile brands.
Travelled the world spreading my makeup magic.
Helped 100s of Brides look and feel great on their wedding day.
Worked part time as a makeup artist while earning a full time income.
My career is still successful today but now my goals have changed.
What I realised in my career that I loved the most and lit me up was how my quest for self-improvement is definitely fed by how I can help other women full fill their needs to look and feel better. This might seem shallow but let's be honest who doesn't feel better with a lick of mascara or a touch of concealer.
My mission now is to help other Make up Artists connect with their passion, achieve their goals and create massive success for themselves .
I have watched the industry go from being very small where nobody believed being a makeup artist was a proper job to literally not being able to turn around without a makeup artist licking her contour brush over your face.
The rise of the makeup artist has been golden for so many reasons but let's be honest popularity comes with its own set of problems and navigating through this highly competitive, price driven and demanding industry can be very tricky.
I am so proud to say I rode the waves and got to dry land and now I want to help you do the same.

The importance of best practices for hand hygiene has been gaining high recognition in recent years, due to recent outbreaks of deadly viruses such as the Ebola fever, Avian influenza 'bird flu' and bacterial infections too such as Clostridium diffiicile colitis 'C-diff', that have spread rapidly with skin contact from human-to-human transmission.
Our products have been robustly designed for heavy commercial use, for instance in washrooms or hotels, with many of our hygiene products featuring a sensor-operated 'no-touch' automatic control, to help provide an essential protection barrier against the spread of diseases and infections, making them perfect for use in any hygiene critical environments.
Our Literature library contains all the Heatrae Sadia and Megaflo Literature brochures, installation guides and user guides, available to view and download from one easy to use, centralised location including an archive for discontinued products.

These guidelines are to assist occupants who may have to evacuate a building in an emergency situation. Circumstances that may require building evacuation include power failure, criminal activity, discovery of a suspicious object, fire, or an unexpected release of a hazardous material. Always remain calm and follow the directions given by emergency responders (police or fire department personnel), building managers or other persons of authority.
Evacuation Notice
In most cases, use of the building fire alarm system is the most efficient and universally understood means to notify building occupants to begin an evacuation. When the fire alarm activates, a loud horn or siren sounds, accompanied by flashing strobe lights. In some buildings there may also be a recorded voice notification.
At other times, it may be necessary to notify building occupants to evacuate in a more discreet manner. These orders may be given by police or fire personnel, building managers, supervisors, or other University officials.
In all cases, when notice is made to evacuate, leave the building right away in an orderly manner using established evacuation routes and stairs.
DO NOT use the elevators.
Take immediately available personal items with you (i.e. purses, backpacks, etc.) as these items may not be available to you for some time.
DO NOT go back into a building to retrieve personal items.
Go to your pre-determined gathering point or remain at a distance of at least 200 feet from the building. Follow all orders from authorized persons. If you are a supervisor, try to account for your employees and report any missing persons to the emergency personnel at the scene.
DO NOT re-enter the building until directed to do so by emergency response personnel.
Building Managers and Department administrators are required to plan evacuation gathering locations for their personnel. Download an evacuation poster template (Word) to assist in this planning. Please fill in the highlighted sections and use this to notify your building/departmental personnel of the University's fire alarm and evacuation policy.
