Here's How Many Taxpayers Got Audited in 2016
By Matthew Frankel Fool.com
The IRS recently released its 2016 data book, which among other things, reveals details about the agency's enforcement activity last year. And while it may come as a surprise to you, the percentage of individual tax returns selected for an audit dropped to its lowest level in more than a decade.
Enforcement activity
During the 2016 fiscal year, the IRS audited just over 1 million individual income tax returns, a 16% decline from 2015 and a drop of more than one-third since 2011. This represents an overall individual tax return audit rate of just 0.7%, the lowest in more than a decade.
Forget GE! Heres how to play the largest growth opportunity in history
What's more, the majority (71%) of these were correspondence audits, meaning that they were conducted through the mail. These are generally the result of a straightforward math error, income omission, or miscalculation, and can often be completely resolved by either sending documentation to the IRS, or if any additional assessment is legitimate, by sending a check to the IRS. Only 29% of audits were conducted in the field, where the IRS comes to the taxpayer or meets with the taxpayer in an IRS office. Also, 37,000 of all audited returns actually resulted in an additional refund to the taxpayer.
Taxpayers are taking advantage of better customer service
One possible reason for the lower audit rate is that more people took advantage of IRS assistance, a welcome piece of news given that in recent years the IRS warned it was so understaffed it couldn't get to many consumer phone calls. Think of it this way: The more people who ask for help (and get it) from the IRS, the more people whose tax returns will be prepared correctly, hence fewer tax returns will trigger an audit.
More than 68.3 million people utilized IRS telephone assistance, an increase of 11.4% year over year. Most significantly, the number of people who used live telephone assistance -- that is, talked to a person and didn't just use an automated system -- rose by an impressive 40% to 25.5 million people. In total, the IRS spend just over $2.4 billion on taxpayer services last year, almost 8% more than in 2015.
However, don't think the IRS isn't understaffed still. Just over 53% of callers who needed assistance got through, and it took an average of 18 minutes to answer each call.
In addition, more people are making use of the IRS's online resources, such as the "Where's My Refund" tool, and other taxpayer guidance available on IRS.gov. In fact, the number of unique visits to IRS.gov surpassed the half-billion mark in 2016, 2.6% higher than 2015.
The takeaway is that in 2016, the IRS apparently shifted its focus slightly away from enforcement and devoted more of its efforts to taxpayer assistance and education. And the agency's spending reflects this. I already mentioned the increased spending on taxpayer services, plus the IRS's enforcement spending dropped by $100 million.
To be clear, I'm not necessarily saying that you are less likely to get audited than you were before -- after all, every tax situation is different -- so it's still just as important to double-check that all the information on your tax return is accurate, and that you have documentation to back up all the deductions and credits you claim.

Sky From "Black Ink Crew" Shares Photos With Both of Her Sons on Instagram
Issa family reunion!
Updated August 23rd, 2018 at 1:19 pm
On last season's "Black Ink Crew," we all watched as Sky attempted to reconnect with her two sons Des and Genesis after giving them up for adoption years ago when they were little boys.
While her relationship with her youngest son, Des, has grown a lot since then, we all saw what happened when she tried to make things right with her oldest son, Genesis, on multiple occasions. It was bad, real bad, Michael Jackson.
When things didn't work out, and after lots of tears and hurtful words, Sky decided to let Genesis heal on his own before trying to be a part of his life, which obviously was a hard decision for her.
But it looks like everything is all good with them now because Sky posted a series of photos on Instagram of her with her two boys in the "Black Ink" shop in New York City. "Complete… #UsNevaThem," the proud mama captioned the photos, along with a heart emoji.
A post shared by SKY DAYS (@flyyytattedsky)
Des also shared a couple of photos of him with his mother and brother, as did Genesis.

I'm so happy for Sky and her sons, especially Sky and her "twin" Genesis. I had a feeling they would mend their broken relationship off camera, which was probably for the best.
Hopefully, we'll get to see more from their family reunion when Black Ink Crew premieres next month on September 19th!

Q: Parse html text with python I wanted to parse the money of a sky block account today in python, but I couldn't get it to work.
The website is https://sky.lea.moe/stats/LeaPhant/.
The html tag is:
$0.08

This is my current code:
from requests_futures import sessions
skyblock = open("skyblock_profile.txt", "w+")
file = open("names.txt", "r")
session = sessions.FuturesSession(max_workers=1000)
check = [s.rstrip() for s in file.readlines()]
for lines in check:
    r = session.get(f"https://sky.lea.moe/stats/{lines}")
    response = r.result()
    if "No user with the" in response.text or "Player has no" in response.text:
        print(f"{lines}: False")
    else:
       print(f"{lines}: True")
       skyblock.write(f"{lines}: Skyblock Profile: True\n")

I have heard of bs4 before but I dont know how to use it in this situation, it would be really nice if someone could help me with this, thanks!

A: You can use BeautifulSoup to parse the text like this:
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

[YOUR CODE TO GET THE RESPONSE FROM THE PAGE]

soup = BeautifulSoup(response.text, "lxml")
desired_tag = soup.find("span", {"class": "stat-value"}) # this gets the desired tag
print(desired_tag.text)  # this gets you the text in the HTML tag, i.e. "$0.08"

If you want to find all of the HTML span tags with the desired tag, you can use soup.find_all() instead of soup.find(), and it'll return a list of all the tags that match.

"I thought that in light of recent national events that need no further elaboration, this song might be timely. It's one that I wrote a few years back, in the days of George W., but it's sure been coming to mind during the last four years and especially in the last few weeks!" Waterhouse wrote in an email. "The lyric is from the point of view of the disembodied spirit of iconic musical hero Woody Guthrie and was borne out of the question, 'What would Woody think of all these shenanigans?"

Q: How do I calculate the effect size for a Spearman's correlation? Is it the same as for Pearson's correlation? I'm having trouble understanding how can I calculate the effect size for a Spearman's correlation. I have the following results: rho= .352, df= 83, p<.01.
Thanks!

A: Spearman is not the same as Pearson's correlation. In short: pearson is a correlation of a linear relationship whereby Spearman is a correlation for a monotonic relationship.
Note that effect size is a general term and can have different forms. Effect size is a quantitative measure of strength of a phenomenon (in your case the strength of a relationship). In this case, the correlation (rho) is itself a measure of effect size. 1 would be perfect (positive, and -1 a negative relationship) relationship and 0 would be no relationship at all.

Q: Aggregate resource requests & dispatch responses to each subscriber I'm fairly new to RxJava and struggling with an use case that seems quite common to me :
Gather multiple requests from different parts of the application, aggregate them, make a single resource call and dispatch the results to each subscriber.
I've tried a lot of different approaches, using subjects, connectable observables, deferred observables... none did the trick so far.
I was quite optimistic about this approach but turns out it fails just like the others :
    //(...)
    static HashMap<String, String> requests = new HashMap<>();
    //(...)

    @Test
    public void myTest() throws InterruptedException {
        TestScheduler scheduler = new TestScheduler();
        Observable<String> interval = Observable.interval(10, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS, scheduler)
                .doOnSubscribe(() -> System.out.println("new subscriber!"))
                .doOnUnsubscribe(() -> System.out.println("unsubscribed"))
                .filter(l -> !requests.isEmpty())
                .doOnNext(aLong -> System.out.println(requests.size() + " requests to send"))
                .flatMap(aLong -> {
                    System.out.println("requests " + requests);
                    return Observable.from(requests.keySet()).take(10).distinct().toList();
                })
                .doOnNext(strings -> System.out.println("calling aggregate for " + strings + " (from " + requests + ")"))
                .flatMap(Observable::from)
                .doOnNext(s -> {
                    System.out.println("----");
                    System.out.println("removing " + s);
                    requests.remove(s);
                })

                            return Observable.create(subscriber -> {
                                requests.put(key, "xxx");
                                interval.doOnNext(s -> System.out.println("filtering : key/val  " + key + "/" + s))
                                        .filter(s1 -> s1.equals(key))
                                        .doOnError(subscriber::onError)
                                        .subscribe(s -> {
                                            System.out.println("intern " + s);
                                            subscriber.onNext(s);
                                            subscriber.onCompleted();
                                            subscriber.unsubscribe();
                                        });
                            });
                        }
                )
                ;
    }

Output :

creating observable for key 3new subscriber!

calling aggregate for [4] (from {4=xxx})

The test fails at the second assertion (ts2 not receiving "2")
Turns out the pseudo-aggregation works as expected, but the values are not dispatched to the corresponding subscribers (only the first subscriber receives it)
Any idea why?
Also, I feel like I'm missing the obvious here. If you think of a better approach, I'm more than willing to hear about it.
EDIT : Adding some context regarding what I want to achieve.
I have a REST API exposing data via multiple endpoints (eg. user/{userid}). This API also makes it possible to aggregate requests (eg. user/user1 & user/user2) and get the corresponding data in one single http request instead of two.
My goal is to be able to automatically aggregate the requests made from different parts of my application in a given time frame (say 10ms) with a max batch size (say 10), make an aggregate http request, then dispatch the results to the corresponding subscribers.
Something like this :
// NOTE: those calls can be fired from anywhere in the app, and randomly combined. The timing and order is completely unpredictable

//ts : 0ms
api.call(userProfileRequest1).subscribe(this::show);
api.call(userProfileRequest2).subscribe(this::show);

//--> after 10ms, should fire one single http aggregate request with those 2 calls, map the response items & send them to the corresponding subscribers (that will show the right user profile)
//ts : 20ms
api.call(userProfileRequest3).subscribe(this::show);
api.call(userProfileRequest4).subscribe(this::show);
api.call(userProfileRequest5).subscribe(this::show);
api.call(userProfileRequest6).subscribe(this::show);
api.call(userProfileRequest7).subscribe(this::show);
api.call(userProfileRequest8).subscribe(this::show);
api.call(userProfileRequest9).subscribe(this::show);
api.call(userProfileRequest10).subscribe(this::show);
api.call(userProfileRequest11).subscribe(this::show);
api.call(userProfileRequest12).subscribe(this::show);

//--> should fire a single http aggregate request RIGHT AWAY (we hit the max batch size) with the 10 items, map the response items & send them to the corresponding subscribers (that will show the right user profile)

The test code I wrote (with just strings) and pasted at the top of this question is meant to be a proof of concept for my final implementation.

A: Your Observable is not well constructed
 public Observable<String> buildObservable(Observable<String> interval, String key) {

    return interval.doOnSubscribe(() -> System.out.printf("creating observable for key " + key))
                   .doOnSubscribe(() -> requests.put(key, "xxx"))
                   .doOnNext(s -> System.out.println("filtering : key/val  " + key + "/" + s))
                   .filter(s1 -> s1.equals(key));
        }

When you subsribe in a subscriber : it's offen a bad design.
I'm not shure to understand what you want to achieve, but I think my code should be pretty close to yours.
Please note that, for all side effects, I use doMethods (like doOnNext, doOnSubscribe) to show I explicitly show that I want to do a side effect.
I replace your defer call by returning directly the interval : as you want to emit all interval events in your custom observable build in your defer call, returning the interval observable is better.
Please note, that you filtering your interval Observable :
Observable<String> interval = Observable.interval(10, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS, scheduler)
            .filter(l -> !requests.isEmpty()).
            // ...

So, as soon you'll put something into requests map, interval will stop emmiting.
I don't understand what you wants to achieve with the request map, but please note that you may want to avoid side effects, and updating this map is clearly a side effect.
Update regarding comments
You may want to use the buffer operator to aggregate request, and then perform request in a bulk way :
    PublishSubject<String> subject = PublishSubject.create();

    TestScheduler scheduler = new TestScheduler();

    Observable<Pair> broker = subject.buffer(100, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS, 10, scheduler)
                                     .flatMapIterable(list -> list) // you can bulk calls here
                                     .flatMap(id -> Observable.fromCallable(() -> api.call(id)).map(response -> Pair.of(id, response)));

    TestSubscriber<Object> ts1 = new TestSubscriber<>();
    TestSubscriber<Object> ts2 = new TestSubscriber<>();
    TestSubscriber<Object> ts3 = new TestSubscriber<>();
    TestSubscriber<Object> ts4 = new TestSubscriber<>();

    broker.filter(pair -> pair.id.equals("1")).take(1).map(pair -> pair.response).subscribe(ts1);
    broker.filter(pair -> pair.id.equals("2")).take(1).map(pair -> pair.response).subscribe(ts2);
    broker.filter(pair -> pair.id.equals("3")).take(1).map(pair -> pair.response).subscribe(ts3);
    broker.filter(pair -> pair.id.equals("4")).take(1).map(pair -> pair.response).subscribe(ts4);

    subject.onNext("1");
    subject.onNext("2");
    subject.onNext("3");

    scheduler.advanceTimeBy(1, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

    ts1.assertValue("resp1");
    ts2.assertValue("resp2");
    ts3.assertValue("resp3");
    ts4.assertNotCompleted();

    subject.onNext("4");
    scheduler.advanceTimeBy(1, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
    ts4.assertValue("resp4");
    ts4.assertCompleted();

The results suggest that adult SSD can emerge at different stages of development (prenatal, postnatal and post‐juvenile) in different populations of the same species, and discuss the proximate mechanisms that may underlie these developmental differences.
Patterns of sexual variation in hominoid mandibular morphology: a framework for interpreting the hominin fossil record
L. Nadal, M. Lahr
This work describes the phenotypical expression of sexual dimorphism in the mandible of six extant hominoid species, including humans, using geometric morphometrics and finds significant differences in how sexualDimorphism is expressed phenotypically even amongst closely related species with small divergence times.
The ontogeny of sexual dimorphism in the African apes
B. Shea
Growth data on the cranium and postcranium of dentally aged pygmy chimpanzees, common chimpanzees, and gorillas are reported here and support field and laboratory observations suggesting that female gorillas become sexually mature earlier than do female chimpanzees.
Body Size and Skeletal Allometry in African Apes
W. Jungers, R. L. Susman
Morphological analyses of the teeth and locomotor skeletons of pongids and humans also corroborate the Ferris et al. branching sequence, and a variety of shared, unique features of the karyotypes of African apes lend strong credence to this phylogeny.
Sexual dimorphisms in the overall proportions of primates
C. Oxnard
Univariate examinations oforphometric analysis of Professor A.H. Schultz's data on the overall proportions of primates reveals differences between the sexes, confirming the existence of the spectrum of sexual dimorphism already well known.

MATING SYSTEM AND SEXCUL DIMORPHISM IN LARGE TERRESTRIAL, MAMMALIAN HERBIVORES
P. Jarman
Sexual dimorphism in mammals is not entirely satisfactorily explained by the models that are advanced to account for it among birds. This may be because species‐specific styles of being dimorphic,…
Ontogenetic patterns of sexual dimorphism in the cranium of Bornean orang-utans ()
T. Masterson, W. Leutenegger
Ontogenetic approaches to sexual dimorphism in anthropoids
It is suggested that an investigation of the ontogenetic bases of sexual dimorphism can provide new insights and information unobtainable from studies concerned only with adult endpoints, and it is demonstrated that although all dimorphic anthropoids appear to be characterized by somebimaturism, the degree varies significantly.
A re-evaluation of subspecific variation and canine dimorphism in woolly spider monkeys (Brachyteles arachnoides).
S. Leigh, W. Jungers
It is suggested that the level of geographic variation in woolly spider monkey canine dimorphism is not consistent with subspecific status, and the lack of clear distinctions between populations in the degree of canineDimorphism complicates assessments of behavioral variation between these populations.


We're excited to be planning and hosting this half-day community event aiming to deepen congregations' ministry by, to, and with people who live with disabilities, differences, or special needs. Watch for the full schedule in January. To volunteer or find out more, contact Diane Lipsett, diane@knollwood.org.
Our keynote speaker, Dr. Bill Gaventa, is currently the Director of the Summer Institute on Theology and Disability and the Director of the Collaborative on Faith and Disability. Until 2013, Dr. Gaventa served as Director of Community and Congregational Supports at the Elizabeth M. Boggs Center on Developmental Disabilities, and as Associate Professor, Pediatrics, Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in New Jersey. He now lives in Austin, Texas.
"Everybody is Welcome" is one of the most familiar lines on congregational signs around the country. What happens when everyone shows up? Genuine hospitality as practiced in faith communities for centuries means that our definition of "all God's people" widens and deepens. Secondly, moving from "welcome" and "inclusion" to "belonging" is as much a gift to the congregational community as it is to people being welcomed. Challenging at times, yes, but as in any form of new and effective ministry, challenges can be overcome with learning and love.

Biografia
Studioso della storia di Firenze e degli edifici antichi, la sua opera è una tappa obbligata per chiunque si accosti allo studio della città. Diresse il Museo Nazionale di San Marco e si batté contro la distruzione del centro storico durante i lavori del Risanamento che stava sconvolgendo in quegli anni la fisionomia di strade e piazze.

Le sue opere contengono meticolose ricostruzioni storiche. Tra le principali figurano I dintorni di Firenze, dove traccia la storia di centinaia di edifici del contado fiorentino, e Firenze scomparsa, dove raccoglie tutte le informazioni sulle architetture abbattute, con particolare riguardo alle zone del ghetto e del Mercato Vecchio.

Raccolse il materiale lapideo superstite di chiese, torri e palazzi abbattuti, facendoli collocare nel lapidario del Museo di San Marco, dove si trovano ancora oggi.

È sepolto nel cimitero di Soffiano.

Boris Johnson May Not Make It to Next Election, Expert Predicts
By Jonathon Read
Global Research, August 19, 2020
The New European 18 August 2020
Theme: History
Boris Johnson may not fight the 2024 general election, and his heart might not be in staying the full term, an expert has suggested.
Professor Steven Fielding, a professor of political history at the University of Nottingham, explained:
"We're not even sure he'll be in charge for that long".
He told Newsweek:
"The talk around him and the nature of the COVID crisis itself means you've got to really want to be in government and really apply yourself. There are things about Johnson that people have questions about — his capacity and whether he wants to do this [in the long term]."
Johnson in recent months has been accused of a lack lustre approach to governing, like across the pond with Donald Trump. He has been criticised for regular holidays, long weekends, and even three hour power naps during the day.
But not only are there questions about whether Johnson wants to server the full time, he said that he could be forced out like his predecessor Theresa May if the tensions in his cabinet become too much.
"Whatever Boris wants to do, there are people around him who don't want to do the same," he explained.
"People like [home secretary] Priti Patel and other ministers around the cabinet table are not happy with big government or even a relatively modest government. There are so many tensions in the Conservative Party about all sorts of things and there are questions about the person in charge about whether he really is in charge."
Last month a leading polling expert revealed that Keir Starmer could win an election if one is held imminently.
Peter Kellner, former president of polling company YouGov, told The New European that the Labour leader could have enough support to build an electoral consensus between different parties to enter Downing Street.
Ben Page from Ipsos Mori, however, told Newsweek his company's data suggests that Johnson could still be an electoral asset at the next election, and the public remain relatively supportive of the PM.
"The hill [opposition party] Labour has to climb, the fact that Johnson remains well ahead of [Labour leader] Keir Starmer on who would make best prime minister, the lack of progress so far in Labour being seen as ready to govern all suggest that at least in polling terms, Johnson can win. But, of course, a year is a long time in politics."
But there are warnings that Johnson should ignore the red wall voters at his own peril, with those who have previously backed Labour but supportive of Brexit likely to decide the prime minister's future.

Seamless rain gutters is one of the newest things in the rain gutter industry in Brownsville. A single factor for their acceptance is due to the fact that they make your rain gutters with no seams. The design seamless rain gutters is such that there actually are no junctions or unions along the length of the gutters. Typical rain gutters have junctions that can start leaking over time. This can lead to water damage to your house and even moisture around your home. These water areas can result in hazardous conditions around your property. Additionally, a leaking gutter can bring on a leaking foundation which could cause hundreds of dollars in repairs.About 80 percent of the all new gutter we put on are seamless gutters in Brownsville, TX. That's just how in demand they are.

Cecile Richards: Planned Parenthood's Work Is Far From Complete
President and CEO Planned Parenthood Cecile Richards onstage at the 2016 Planned Parenthood Action Fund Membership Event held during the Planned Parenthood National Convention at Washington Hilton in Washington on June 10, 2016.

By Cecile Richards
Cecile Richards is the president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America.
Connie Gao needed birth control. She was 19 and in college in Michigan, and wanted to make sure she could finish her education and start her career before she had kids. Like 1 in 5 women in this country, when she needed accurate information and quality care, she came to Planned Parenthood.
In 2016, Connie's story is completely unremarkable—but it took 100 years of care and advocacy to get here.
On Oct. 16, 1916, Margaret Sanger, along with her sister Ethel and Fania Mindell, a volunteer who believed in the cause, opened the first birth control clinic—a storefront in the Brownsville neighborhood of Brooklyn. Their vision was that women would be able to live healthier lives by having control over the timing and spacing of their children—or whether to have children at all.
Over the last century, thousands of volunteers—from sex educators to clinic escorts—have helped build Planned Parenthood into leading sexual and reproductive health provider and advocate in the U.S.
When the first clinic opened, for 10 cents each woman could buy a pamphlet with information on how to prevent pregnancy—information that was completely illegal at the time. From the first day, women lined up down the block.
Nine days later, an undercover police officer posing as a mother arrested Sanger and threw her in jail, where she taught all of her fellow inmates about birth control.
Birth control, as well as access to safe and legal abortion, has opened up possibilities for women's lives that few could have imagined in 1916.
In 1916, the two most common causes of death for women of childbearing age were tuberculosis and childbirth. Today, while maternal mortality still affects far too many, and in particular black women, it is no longer a leading cause of death. Women live longer, healthier lives because they can choose whether and when to have children.
Today, because contraception is more effective, more accessible and more affordable, the U.S. is at a 30-year low for unintended pregnancy, and a historic all-time low for teen pregnancy.
This progress has allowed women to become half the workforce, more than half of undergraduate students and earn half of all doctorate degrees. One study shows that one-third of the wage gains women have made since the 1960s are the direct result of access to oral contraceptives. In every sector, women's leadership is more visible than ever before. There are three women on the Supreme Court, 20 women in the U.S. Senate, and for the first time in history, a woman is within reach of the presidency.
This dramatic impact on how people live, love, learn and work is why The Atlantic named the pill one of the top 50 inventions since the wheel, ranking it above the telephone, the alphabet and photography. Today, more than 95% of sexually active women in the U.S. have used contraception at some point in their lives. And at every step of the way, Planned Parenthood was helping lead the way to better access to reproductive care.
For 100 years, generations of doctors, clinicians, educators and activists have continued what these three women started—challenging unfair laws, innovating and leveraging the best medicine, and continuously expanding our ability to provide care to people, no matter who they are or where they live.
Planned Parenthood has grown from that one storefront to nearly 650 health centers nationwide. Those health centers see 2.5 million patients a year. Since the legalization of abortion in 1973, Planned Parenthood has proudly provided abortion care and fought every effort to roll back our rights. We are part of the fabric of American life in all 50 states. And Planned Parenthood Global provides support to more than 100 partner organizations in Africa and Latin America that ensure access to sexual and reproductive health and education to more than 1 million people.
Still, our work is far from complete, and our history is uneven and imperfect.
Too often, as progress was made for some in securing access to reproductive health and rights, others were denied those gains. In 2016, too many people still go without access to safe and legal abortion and other basic preventive care. Across the country, and especially in states like Texas, maternal mortality rates are on the rise. And while teen pregnancy rates are at an all-time low and still dropping, too many young women of color do not have equal access to affordable and effective contraceptives. More than 10 million women of color are in need of publicly funded contraception—because of their income. Yet less than 8 million women, of all races, are getting the publicly supported services they need.
If our first century was about securing our rights, our second century must be about ensuring everyone has full access and also full reproductive autonomy. And like any organization or movement that started 100 years ago, we must continually address the systemic roots of race and class discrimination—in the world and in our own organization—that have kept women of color, women with low incomes, LGBTQ people, immigrants and others from fulfilling their destiny.
Planned Parenthood's first century was fueled by a defiant fight to secure the right to reproductive health care. In our second century, we're not settling for rights in name only, or for only a few. We will build a world where neither income nor zip code nor race nor gender determines whether a person can get reproductive care, where no one is shamed for making their own sexual and reproductive health choices. One hundred years in, we are proud of our legacy—and we are just getting started.

You have such cute kids and your photography/photo editing skills are making me jealous.
oh my! those pictures! those doll-faces. they take my breath away!!
beautiful, beautiful pictures and I am so jealous you are all wearing long sleeves!
really cute. I can't place the location. It's a pretty background. Can I just have one twin??
Those pictures make me happy too!
Gosh Jane, it's too bad you don't have cute kids. Or that you're never able to get a decent picture of them.
Your photography talent is incredible! Can I bring my kids over? You have an absolutely beautiful family.
James is so Handsome. He really sticks out sitting with those beautiful daughters of yours. Love the pictures.
What a beautiful family. I can see why a potty word or two might slip out sometimes.

The purpose of this experiment was to find the effect of angle orientation of muon detectors on muon flux. The angles tested were at zero degrees, forty-five degrees, and ninety degrees, in correlation from the horizontal.
In order to test the effects of angles on muon flux, muon detectors were stacked and oriented from the horizontal by a wooden mount that could rotate about an axis. Each muon flux study was run for at least eight hours before it was uploaded and analyzed. The muon detectors were set at one-fold coincidence and two-fold coincidences when collecting data for the experiment.
The data collected shows that the highest muon flux was at an angle of ninety degrees followed by an angle of forty-five degrees, and the least was at an angle of zero degrees. The relationship between muon flux and angle is a positive linear relationship. This was true for both the one-fold and the two-fold coincidence tests. These results were concluded by using descriptive analysis and statistical tests.
The results of this experiment could inform future researchers to set their equipment at ninety degrees to acquire the highest muon flux; this is important because muon originates from collisions of cosmic rays with earth's atmosphere and the direction of the muons are believed to be random. By finding the maximum angle for muon flux, this knowledge could be used for a muon catalyst fusion research by allowing for an optimal collection of muons. Muon catalyst fusion uses muons to make deuterium molecules that releases massive amounts of energy, muon catalyst fusion may be am infinite energy source if enough muons are collected from the cosmic rays.

How to Refund Your PC Games on Steam, Epic Games, and GOG
Sometimes you buy a new PC game and it just isn't what you expected. Maybe the game isn't compatible with your hardware or the gameplay just doesn't click with you. Whatever the case, if you're feeling buyer's remorse over a digital copy of a PC game you just bought, you might be eligible for a refund.
There are several online marketplaces that sell digital copies of PC games, but we're focusing on getting refunds through Steam, the Epic Games Store and GOG, since those are three of the biggest platforms. All three of these companies offer refunds on game purchases, but their money-back policies and processes for claiming a refund differ.
Screenshot: Brendan Hesse (steampowered.com)
Steam's refund policy is straightforward: You can get a full refund on any Steam game within 14 days of purchase provided it has been played for two hours or less, while preorders can be canceled for a full refund. This even applies to games sent as gifts to others, though the refund must be requested by the gift recipient. In-app purchases and some downloadable content (DLC) are nonrefundable.
Steam's pretty strict about these rules, so don't expect to get your money back on those unplayed games you bought in a bundle last year. That said, the company will offer refunds for games that you purchased more than 14 days ago and/or played for more than two hours in some rare instances—such as when a major game-breaking bug or other serious concern is uncovered and results in a game being pulled from the Steam store. Contact Steam Support for more help in those cases.
How to get a refund on a Steam purchase
Go to the Steam Support page and log in with your Steam account.
Under "What do you need help with," select "A Purchase."
Click the game you want to refund. If a games you bought isn't on the list, then it's ineligible for a refund in this way.
Click the issue you're having with the game.
Click "I'd like to request a refund."
Fill out the refund request and select where you'd like to have your refund sent from the drop-down menu. You can choose to have it sent to your Steam Wallet or back to the original payment method, such as your bank account or Paypal.
A refund request can take up to seven days to be finalized, but once it's approved, the refunded game is removed from your Steam library and your money will be sent back to the payment method you selected in step 6—though the funds may take a few additional business days to appear in your bank account. Any in-game achievements or playtime stats you earned will still show up on your Steam community page.
You can read Steam's full refund policy here.
Screenshot: Brendan Hesse (epicgames.com/store)
Like Steam, Epic will refund any games within 14 days of purchase as long as you haven't played them longer than two hours (though some exceptions may be made in certain cases). You can also get a refund on all preorders for unreleased games, but this does not include paid early access or beta purchases, which are subject to the previous days/hours restrictions restrictions.
Epic handles in-app purchases and DLC slightly differently:
Epic refunds certain in-game purchases and DLC associated with a game so long as it was purchased within the Epic Store and you "have not consumed, modified or transferred" any of the in-game items.
Items like character skins, in-game currency or consumable items are non-refundable. Epic clearly notes any nonrefundable purchases on the product's store page.
You can read Epic's full refund policy here.
How to get a refund on an Epic Store purchase
Some purchases can be refunded via a "self-service" feature in your Epic Store account's settings.
Go to the Epic Store website.
Sign in with your Epic account
Click "Account" in the upper-right of the page.
Click "Transactions."
Select the game or product you wish to refund, then click "Refund" and follow the on-screen instructions.
If a game or product isn't listed under the Transactions tab or you're seeking a refund on a purchase that falls outside of Epic's guaranteed money-back policy, you can try applying for a refund through Epic's support page:
Go to Epic's support page. Scroll down and click "Contact Us."
Log in with your Epic account.
Use the form to submit a refund request. You'll be contacted by email with further instructions.
Once your refund is complete, the game will be removed from your library. Any repaid funds will be sent back to you through the payment method used in the original transaction.
Screenshot: Brendan Hesse (GOG Galaxy)
GOG offers full refunds on games within 30 days of their original purchase, regardless of whether they've been downloaded, installed and played. This also applies to:
Games in Development titles (aka early access and paid beta releases).
Preorders, including up to 30 days after release.
Games gifted to you by another person. If you send a gift to someone else, you may be entitled to a refund if they run into issues, but the recipient has to initiate the refund request first.
(Note: "Virtual Goods" like in-game purchases or DLC bought through GOG are nonrefundable.)
You can read GOG.com's full refund policy here.
How to get a refund on a GOG.com purchase
GOG's refund policy is the most lenient of the bunch, but it also has a quirky loophole that makes it ripe for abuse: Unlike Steam or Epic, GOG sells games without DRM (digital rights management). That means that users have full ownership over the games they buy and download, and it also means that GOG cannot remove the game files from your PC after you've made a purchase. So, yes, you could buy something, request a refund and keep it anyway (if you have no conscience).
As a result, refund requests must be sent to GOG Support and are subject to approval. GOG also requests that users seeking refunds due to technical issues or bugs first contact GOG support to see if the problem can be fixed before requesting a refund.
Once your refund is approved, the game(s) will be removed from your GOG library. Funds will be sent to the payment method specified in the refund request. GOG is unable to send refunds to certain financial institutions, in which case the funds will be applied to your account as store credit unless you offer them another suitable option.
Too bad I can't refund Doom Eternal. Bethesda knew exactly what they were doing with the timing of that Denuvo update. Never buy a Bethesda game day 1.

Q: Excel formula that returns address of current (active) cell I'm trying to write an Excel formula (no VBA please) that returns the address of the active cell, i.e., the cell where the cursor is currently. For example, I have a lookup function in cell A5 that refers to lookup table with, say, 3 rows and 2 columns and I need a formula as =vlookup(activecell, A1:B3, 2, 0) so that when I click on, say, cell A2, then the lookup formula in cell A5 would show the contents of cell B2. I can't seem to come upon what I should use for "activecell". I've tried combinations of row(), address(row(), column()), indirect, but I can't get the magic combination. Thanks in advance for any help!

A: get current selected cell address manual(F9) or automatic
https://excel.tips.net/T002302_Displaying_the_Selected_Cells_Address.html

by Allen Wyatt
Excel allows you to easily see the location of the currently selected cell by examining the contents of the Name Box, to the left of the Formula Bar. This is fine and good, but there are times when you would like to have the address of a cell actually in a cell. For instance, you may want cell A1 to contain the address of the currently selected cell. This means that if cell E4 were selected, then A1 would contain its address, or $E$4. If you then pressed the right-arrow key, then the contents of A1 would change to $F$4.
In order to return the address of the currently selected cell, you must resort to using macros. The following macro will return the value of the cell selected at the time it is run:

Public Function CurrentCell() As String
    Application.Volatile
    CurrentCell = ActiveCell.Address
End Function

The inclusion of the Application.Volatile method means that every time the worksheet is recalculated, this function (macro) is again run. To use the macro you can place the following in any cell desired, including A1:=CurrentCell
You should note that this macro doesn't result in the contents of A1 changing every time you move to a different cell. Again, the contents of A1 will change only when the workbook is recalculated, either by changing something in the worksheet or by pressing F9.
If, instead, you need to have a "real-time" version that automatically updates A1 as the selected cell is changed, you can follow these steps:
Display the VBA Editor by pressing Alt+F11.
In the Project window, at the left side of the Editor, double-click on the name of the worksheet you are using. (You may need to first open the VBAProject folder, and then open the Microsoft Excel Objects folder under it.)
In the code window for the worksheet, click on the Object drop-down list and choose Worksheet. When you do, the Procedure should change to SelectionChange, and the framework for the event handler should appear in the code window.
Change the event handler so it appears as follows:

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
    Range("A1").Value = ActiveCell.Address
End Sub

Close the VBA Editor.
Now, as you move about this single sheet, the contents of A1 should be constantly updated to reflect your location.

A: I do not think there is any excel function/formula which gives the address of active cell in the manner that you are expecting.
However, there is a workaround to this, which you need to try.
Try to write a event macro which will fetch the address of the cell clicked (current cell) and which will then update a specific cell with that address. Your formula can then pick up the pasted address from that specific cell and use it in the formula.
Give it a try , it should work.

A: Thanks Rajesh. Yes, that should work, but I was looking for a formula, which would not require VBA, but apparently none exists. The closest I've been able to come is =INDIRECT(CELL("ADDRESS")) but that doesn't refresh automatically; it requires pressing F9 or some other action that causes a recalc. Too bad MS didn't include a simple function such as =ACTIVECELL().

North & Central American Football
espn's soccer coverage
Posts by Kerry
I've been watching some of the games on Canada's CBC network and you wouldn't believe the difference. Total class. BBC feed, Bob Lenarduzi and Jason de Vos in the studio. They know what they're talking about, they have a telestrator to diagram plays, and a minimum of cliches.
That said. I am grateful to ESPN for their coverage. Not all viewers are as knowledgeable as the posters here. The fact that they covered every game is just amazing. JackenTy almost grew on me. At least they were enthusiastic. And Stone is trying to appeal to the teenybopper viewer. It could be worse. I used to go to a theater and sit among chain smoking Easter Europeans before 1982. We are blessed. ESPN has an announcer, Derrek Rae, that did an outstanding job in 98. In the 1st round. I think he does the Revs games.
Just remember ABC just signed John Madden to do Monday Night Football. He's so awful, I won't watch. He's a clown. That's what the networks think American viewers want. Dennis Miller was too smart for the typical American jock sniffer. Only people with IQs higher than room temperature understood his jokes.
It could be and has been worse. I recommend sending ESPN an email telling them how much you appreciate the coverage. Also be critical of who they have doing the games.
I get a lot of static from the hockey fans at work that don't like me calling defensmen, fullbacks, or Dominick Hasek as the keeper.
Stone really cares about the game and our national team. I bet he's had to put up with a lot of crap from the rest of the ESPN announcers. He's been in his glory the last month and deserves to rub the arrogant :ass: in Bristol, Conn. noses in the ratings they've gotten. They now have the record for middle of the night broadcasts.
I wonder if MLS recouped any of what it paid for the rights to the WC. They hold them for the 06 games in Germany, too.:greed:
BHAM! Gawd, I almost feel sorry for the schlup. Naw. He's got it coming. Absolutely, Derrek Rae is the best soccer play by play man ESPN's got.
The Washington Post article also had some great links to go to. A gallery of kewl photos. Great screensavers. One shows the ball on the goal line with the Germans arm right there. Swine call.
You know, one thing has me sort of ticked. We took getting eliminated too well. We weren't pissed at all. Well, we had a great run, but that was Germany. We outplayed them but they move on and we're done.
Cow pucky. I'm mad. We should have won that game. We should be calling for a nuke strike on Scotland. Maybe our own city in Texas should be nuked just for having the name Dallas. The nerve of that Scottish prig. If that had happened at the other end of the field, I bet he would have given his Eurotrash pals a pk. But, we cant' give these upstart Yanks a free goal. Just because a little Teutonic hand kept the ball from crossing the goal line and giving these Americanisch a legitimate goal.
Dammit we deserved a shot at a goal. That hand ball kept us from scoring. That alone justifies us getting a second chance. See if Kahn measures up to Friedel.
I demand satisfaction. Bring the Scottish Nats over here for a friendly.
:devil:
Operation mayhem will be childs play with what I've got in mind.

Suicidality in chronic pain: a review of the prevalence, risk factors and psychological links

Background. This paper reviews and integrates the growing literature concerning the prevalence of and risk factors for suicidality in chronic pain.
Method. A series of systematic searches in MEDLINE and PsychINFO identified 12 relevant articles examining suicide, suicide attempts, and suicidal ideation in chronic pain. A selection of theoretical and empirical work identifying psychological processes that have been implicated in both the pain and suicide literature and which may be related to increased suicidality was also reviewed.
Results. Relative to controls, risk of death by suicide appeared to be at least doubled in chronic pain patients. The lifetime prevalence of suicide attempts was between 5% and 14% in individuals with chronic pain, with the prevalence of suicidal ideation being ~20%. Eight risk factors for suicidality in chronic pain were identified, including the type, intensity and duration of pain and sleep-onset insomnia co-occuring with pain, which appeared to be pain-specific. Helplessness and hopelessness about pain, the desire for escape from pain, pain catastrophizing and avoidance, and problem-solving deficits were highlighted as psychological processes relevant to the understanding of suicidality in chronic pain.
Conclusions. Programmatic research is urgently required to investigate the role of both general and pain-specific risk factors for suicidality, to examine how the psychological processes mentioned above mediate or exacerbate suicidality, and to develop enhanced interventions for pain patients at risk.

"Average hourly earnings will likely increase 0.27% m-o-m (2.76% y-o-y), partly boosted by calendar effects (Consensus: 0.2%), while we expect the unemployment rate to decline 0.1pp to 4.0% (Consensus: 4.0%). Overall, after getting through the weatherrelated choppiness of the first few months in 2018, we expect April's employment report to highlight steady labor market strength, setting the stage for further declines in the unemployment rate later this year."
Valeria Bednarik, chief analyst at FXStreet explained that technically, the 4 hours chart shows that the technical indicators entered bearish territory, with the Momentum still heading lower but the RSI aiming to recover some ground, currently at 42: "Moving averages in the mentioned chart maintain their bullish slopes below the current level, indicating that the decline could be considered corrective, at least as long as the price holds above them."

In before the time limit?
Name: Er... I Want a Vhost?
Description: Just requires PHP. No other dependencies.
Uses Google Web Fonts for additional prettiness - h1-3, footer text and other stuff is easily swappable to different fonts.
Header's a placeholder till someone finds the actual Nightstar logo that doesn't have the nasty starry background and galaxy-esque purple stuff, but you can keep the existing one if you want.
Most other links are external.
Description: No dark themes? got it. Stars are bright anyways. I forgo-ed making anything flashy for the sake of ease of customization and went with a standard minimalistic style. In the first picture, the page body is divided into 3 columns, but it can be changed to two or one, however you wish. It's fairly modular. The logo can be changed as well, I made one from scratch for simplicity's sake. Most fonts in the page are Arial because it's the standard-est font I know, nothing that can't easily be altered.
I can only provide a jpg at the moment, but perhaps later i'll get a working HTML mock up.
