As each year draws to an end, I always feel in two minds about writing an 'end of year' post, but it's hard to let another year pass without reflecting on the past 12 months. 2014 has been an odd one for me, a year which started amazingly well following on from a pretty sweet 2013, which swiftly turned into a roller-coaster ride come spring, before settling into a perfect year again as midnight December 31st draws closer.
2014 has been the year that has changed me the most. I'm pretty sure every year I say how I've grown as a person, but I suppose we all do. With each new day comes new experiences (and challenges), which shape us and help us become the people we are today. 2014 has been the first year where I've truly felt like I'm becoming the person I'm meant to be. I feel stronger; mentally and emotionally, than I have ever felt before, and more confident and happy within myself and the way my life is turning out.
A lot of changes had to be made to feel this way though, and most of them have involved reigning myself in a little (or in some cases, a lot). 2014 has been the year where I've spent less time sat on at a PC and more time actually living my life 'in the real world' – and this has been the most positive change I could have ever made. No longer do I feel permanently attached to my phone, even opting for Airplane Mode most evenings for a little peace and quiet. I'm nowhere near as obsessed with social media as I used to be, and it's taking time away from some social networks which has helped me find my feet the most.
It's so easy to get caught up in things online, and although I love the channels I use regularly and on a daily basis, taking a step back has been a breath of fresh air. In 2013 I seriously started to edit myself online, and by doing so I felt as if who I am was becoming a distant memory – that I couldn't be myself because someone, somewhere would always take issue. But that wasn't me, it isn't who I want to be, and 2014 showed me that. I've been myself again, maybe not quite as loud and full-on as I used to be (which by any means, is a positive), but I stopped caring about what others may or may not think of me any more. Staying away from drama, from the negativity of other people, is something which has changed my complete view of life online and offline. You can make two choices in life; to be drawn in to negativity by negative people and let it control your entire being, or you can choose positivity and the people and experiences which will make you smile when you're 110.
Another huge change in my life in 2014 has been continuing my journey to lose weight and be a healthier, happier Sophia. Although my journey is much slower than that of others, it's a journey which I have taken in my own time – and the benefits I've reaped from doing so have been amazing. It's been a long time since I shared a weight-loss update (and you can expect more regular updates in 2015), but I'm happy to say that my journey has continued, and I am now at the lowest weight I have been for 9 years. My attitude towards food has drastically changed, finally learning to both cook and eat normal portions rather than piling my plate as high as possible, and I've introduced more foods into my diet which help my body be a calmer, happier place.
On July 17th I turned 26, but that day will forever stay in my memory for another reason – the day I graduated. After four years of studying for my Psychology degree, graduation was an emotional experience for me. Even now 5 months on, it's hard to believe sometimes that my degree is over – receiving my degree certificate a few weeks ago made it all seem real and it finally sunk in that I wasn't studying for a degree any more, I have one. Psychology is a huge part of me and it's something I am extremely passionate about. To have put so many years of hard work into both Psychology and getting my degree, made graduating one of the proudest moments of my life.
This year has been a roller-coaster for me where this blog is concerned. I have fallen in and out of love with blogging more times than I can count, but thankfully as the year has drawn to a close the motivation which had diminished has returned ten-fold. 2014 is the first year since I've had Tattooed Tealady that I have felt the pressure of blogging. At times, there was nothing I wanted to do less than upload a new post, or take photos, or even come up with ideas. There's been more than a few times this year where I have felt both myself and my blog have been completely inadequate – thoughts which were nothing but my own doing.
The world of blogging, and particularly beauty blogging, is constantly growing and expanding. 2014 has been a year where we have seen YouTubers and bloggers alike take the world by storm, the year that the world has finally realised how important and influential the people behind these channels can be. Although I by no means see myself in the same league as those who have fan bases bigger than most people could imagine, I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this sudden spotlight on the blogging world has put pressure on those who don't earn 6 figures a month through their channels. For a while, it took the joy out of blogging for me.
But as 2015 gets closer, my view on blogging and my reasons for continuing this blog have grown in the most positive of ways. I no longer worry about how my posts will compare to others, how my photos look compared to the blogs whose photography would fit with ease into high-end magazines. I started this blog for me, for my love of beauty and life and everything that comes with it – and finally I see the beauty in it again. Perhaps it's a lot to do with 'finding myself' again, feeling more confident in being myself online as well as offline, but either way – I can't wait to see Tattooed Tealady continue to grow in 2015. I've spent the past few weeks planning not just content, but big changes for this blog, and I honestly can't wait to share them with you all!
I feel like I've matured in 2014 (or maybe just calmed down and become rather boring), finally feeling more like the person I should be at 26. And for me, this is the biggest positive I will take from this year. I hope your year has been a good one too – but here is to an even better 2015. I wonder what the New Year will bring for us all.

(28 March 1912 – 15 August 1945) was a Japanese military officer and one of the chief conspirators in the Kyūjō incident, a plot to seize the Imperial Palace and to prevent the broadcast of Emperor Hirohito's surrender speech to mark the end of World War II.

Military career

Hatanaka served in the Military Affairs Section of the Japanese Ministry of War at the end of World War II. As one of the leaders of a group of Japanese officers determined to prevent the acceptance of the Potsdam Declaration and therefore the surrender of Japan, Hatanaka attempted a coup d'état on 14–15 August 1945. Failing to obtain the support of the War Minister, General Korechika Anami, Hatanaka organised a number of other officers and succeeded in occupying the Imperial Palace and Imperial Household Ministry.

Still needing high-level support for his cause, he tried to enlist Lieutenant General Takeshi Mori, commander of the 1st Imperial Guard Division. Mori was non-committal and a frustrated Hatanaka shot and killed him. Hatanaka and his men then spent several hours searching for the recording that had been made of the Emperor's speech announcing the surrender of Japan, and which was meant for public broadcast. When he failed to locate the recordings, he occupied the NHK Building in an attempt to prevent the speech from being broadcast. However, still without high level support and the recordings, Hatanaka abandoned his coup after receiving direct orders to do so from Eastern District Army Headquarters.

Following the failure of the coup, Hatanaka traveled to the plaza fronting the Imperial Palace. Along with his fellow conspirator, Lieutenant Colonel Jirō Shiizaki, he shot himself. In Hatanaka's pocket was found his death poem:

This is the code i use to send in a request to a webpage get its content and extract the image links off the webpage. However in some webpages it doesn't return the charset in the web-header it returns "". When i however try to parse with default encoding it doesn't give the proper content either ? this is really frustrating any one has come across this type of situation before ? If anyone could point me in the right direction as to how to overcome this or Predict what kind of encoding to use , it would be great thanks.
Example of site which gives no charset in response header
Image site link

A: In this case the character encoding is given in the headers: Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8

Sutan Syahrir, auch Sjahrir (* 5. März 1909 in Padang Panjang auf Sumatra; † 9. April 1966 in Zürich), war ein Politiker in der Frühzeit Indonesiens.

Leben
Syahrir wuchs in einer Minangkabau-Familie in Sumatra auf und studierte zuerst in Medan sowie Bandung, dann in den Niederlanden in Amsterdam und Leiden. Dort lernte er Mohammad Hatta kennen, beide arbeiteten in der Folgezeit gemeinsam für die indonesische Unabhängigkeit. 1931 kehrte Syahrir nach Indonesien zurück. Nach dem Ende der alten Partei "PNI" gründeten Hatta und er die neue "Pendidikan Nasional Indonesia (PNI)". Gemeinsam mit Hatta wurde er 1934 verhaftet und in die Verbannung geschickt: ab Januar 1935 in Boven Digoel auf Papua, von Januar 1936 bis Februar 1942 nach Banda Neira und bis März 1942 in Sukabumi auf West-Java, wo er 1942 von den japanischen Eroberern befreit wurde.

1945 schrieb er in niederländisch sein wichtigstes Werk "Onze Strijd" (Unser Kampf), das sogleich ins Indonesische übersetzt wurde ("Perdjoeangan Kita"). Von November 1945 bis Juni 1947 war er der erste indonesische Ministerpräsident, doch die Niederlande waren noch nicht bereit, den neuen Staat anzuerkennen. 1948 ging das niederländische Militär wieder gegen die Repräsentanten Indonesiens vor und verhafteten auch Syahrir. Im gleichen Jahr gründete er die "Sozialistische Partei Indonesiens" (PSI). Später geriet er in Gegensatz zu Sukarno, seine Partei wurde 1960 verboten und er kam 1962 ins Gefängnis. 1965 erlitt er einen Schlaganfall und flog zur medizinischen Behandlung nach Zürich, wo er 1966 starb.

Q: git pull -X theirs requires MERGE_MSG editing in ubuntu but not in windows I have a bash script running on ubuntu and on windows:

git add -A
git commit -a -m "auto l"
git pull -s recursive -X theirs
git push origin
In ubuntu the second to last line causes nano editor to pop up requesting naming or editing of MERGE_MSG. Windows no such problem. EDIT WINDOWS TOO Rerunning the script 2 more times solves problem but that seems sloppy. Exists another -m 'auto' I must add during pull or what?

A: Check if (on Windows) you do have a pull.rebase setting set to true (as I recommend since Git 2.9)
git config pull.rebase
git config rebase.autoStash

That would means Git on Windows would rebase your local commits on top of origin/yourBranch, instead of trying to create a merge commit between origin/yourBranch and yourBranch.
But if you don't, and if that must create a merge commit, then, as noted by the OP, git pull --no-edit can can be used to accept the auto-generated message (this is generally discouraged, but here useful).

Boss of 'Negev crime ring' convicted in plea bargain
Court convicts Hagai Zagoury, Rami Ezran of leading criminal organization, organizing its activities, conspiracy to murder and other offenses.
By JOANNA PARASZCZUK
Hagai Zagoury, the man police consider the boss of the Negev's largest crime ring, was convicted of a string of charges in the Beersheba District Court on Thursday, alongside the syndicate's alleged second-in-command, Rami Ezran.
The convictions came after the Southern District Attorney reached a plea bargain with lawyers for eight men charged with belonging to the crime ring.
The court convicted Zagoury and Ezran of leading a criminal organization, organizing its activities, conspiracy to murder and other offenses. The southern district attorney asked the court to sentence the two to 15 years in prison as well as fines totaling NIS 1.25 million each.
The court will sentence the defendants at a later date.
Significantly the amended indictment that resulted from the plea bargain dropped a murder charge against Zagoury.
The original indictment charged him with ordering a hit against former football player Eli Uzan. Under the plea bargain, Zagoury agreed to plead guilty to conspiracy to commit murder.
A Justice Ministry spokeswoman said on Thursday that the murder charge had been based mostly on various pieces of circumstantial evidence, mostly from the testimony of a state witness.
The other charges in the indictment included counts of belonging to a criminal organization for various criminal purposes, including conspiracy, attempts to harm people and property, operating explosives, and various uses of weapons during a conflict between criminal gangs.
According to the amended indictment, members of the gang would use violence against debtors in order to charge them high interest rates, and would extort people they considered their enemies.
The defendants were also convicted of large-scale gambling den operations, as well as smuggling cigarettes and alcohol, drug trafficking, and gambling on the cruise ship Magic One. Other offenses included tax fraud, money laundering and providing loans worth millions of shekels.
The Justice Ministry spokeswoman added that the plea bargain entailed the most severe punishments consistent with other rulings for similar offenses.
She also said the plea bargain had involved negotiating complex circumstances, including testimony from three members of the crime ring who had turned state witness. The district attorney had been concerned that the court would not trust the information the three witnesses divulged.
In the plea bargain, the court was asked to impose prison sentences of various shorter durations on the other six defendants, as well as fines totaling half a million shekels.

Q: jquery ajax: Unexpected Token & function not defined This is my first attempt at javascript trying to call to API and I'm getting the following in the Chrome console:

Uncaught syntax error: Unexpected Token ,

Uncaught Reference Error: AjaxCall is not defined.

I just posted here today, edited the answer to my liking, and got more errors.
Thanks for helping!
<!DOCTYPE html>

        <button onclick="AjaxCall()">Click Here</button>

A: Here is your completed code. Should work fine with right urls and headers.
<!DOCTYPE html>

        <button onclick="AjaxCall()">Click Here</button>

A: You have a simple syntax error in this section of your code:
$.ajax({
    url: Target_URL,
    headers: {
        'Accept':'application/json',
        'Authorization', 'Bearer ' + vToken
    },
    method: 'GET'
    success: alert(result)
});

This line:
'Authorization', 'Bearer ' + vToken

ought to be
'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + vToken

with a colon : rather than a comma ,. That's what the Uncaught syntax error: Unexpected Token , error meant.

Also, you're missing a comma after 'GET' (thanks to @char):
method: 'GET'

should be
method: 'GET',

A:          something wrong with your Authorization params, please keep headers correct
         $.ajax({
            url: Target_URL,
            headers: {
                'Accept':'application/json',
                'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + vToken
            },
            method: 'GET'
            success: alert(result)
          });


Nobody said but i'm assuming it's you, Tarynn---FANTASTIC-----love the concept---everybody these day's is looking for "Gentley used" baby clothes---It helps a great deal !---When my grandkid's were little the "Girls" used to get Osh-gosh-Begosh clothes for 1/2 price at the "Gently Used" baby shop up the street from us-----Your girls look absoulutely beautiful!---Good Job!! Mamma !
Congrats on this cool new store. I love resale shops. I actually thought of opening one for us girls! I wanted to mix Modern and Vintage together. I also collect vintage décor. I have an assortment of Vintage baby items, including an old baby scale. Would be perfect for decorating a baby nursery. If you know someone who would be interested let me know....What a beautiful pix of Taryn and her children. I see Michael in them! Lots of luck and prosperity!!!!
OK, I promised some members here I'd run by & check out Taryn's shop. It is absolutely c-r-a-m-m-e-d with stuff! Some of the most adorable stuff. Little black patent tap dancing shoes, fuzzy pink sweater (yeah, yeah, know it was really expensive, but the consignment price is still jaw-dropping, so thank heaven I don't have a little girl), zillions of strollers. You can outfit any kid for the next 5 years at least. Right around the corner from G'Pa's so he can spoil his lil darlin's a little more.
Saw someone in there I know, cannot think of her name & too embarrassed to say hello - criminy, I run into people I haven't seen in ages in the strangest places. . . c'est la vie. Anyway, I think Taryn's shop could be a hit once word really gets around town. She needs a little PR of her own. People around here rarely read Hartford Courant, it's a NY Times crowd. So I wish her absolutely oodles of success with her venture!
Taryn is very beautiful too!
What a cute photo and all the best on your new venture.
Adorable photo and great article. If I only lived closer..I'd shop for my great-nephews there. I wish Taryn much success!!


Hello Patron. Good to see you here. Have a great reading time with us! Choose your pick and indulge! Don't forget to share your views. Thanks for visiting.
An irritated groan rippled through Shiv's mind even as he tried his level best not to roll his eyes.
'Something funny?' The interviewer admittedly was sharp, Shiv conceded to himself.
Ha! Take that, smug interviewer!
Swapna sipped her Mocachillo slowly as she considered Priyank's question. What did she look for indeed? Definitely not random meetings in coffee shops after the moms discussing their match through matrimony.com on telephone for starters.
'Interesting! What else?' Priyank slurped his Fruity-bliss noisily, scaring few mosquitos that dared venturing near their table.
Dude! What's with this interviewing?
'Dude, seriously?' Meeta guffawed spraying beer everywhere, earning disgusted looks.
That brought about another bout of laughter from Meeta.
Swapna cast an irritated glance at the intruder. Just as she was about to say a rude 'NO', the guy flashed her a disarming smile.
Meeta rolled her eyes and nodded, much to Swapna's chagrin.
'What?' Swapna turned her head so fast that she almost sprained her neck.
Shiv nodded at Swapna with a grin and took his seat.
A few years back, I had gone to visit cousins in Pondicherry in Tamil Nadu. On their suggestion, I headed out to coastal town of Mammalapuram or Mahbalipuram which lies midway between Chennai and Pondy a mere 90 kms. The reason I jumped to it was the drive on the ECR (east coast road) which runs parallel to the sea mostly and the ancient temples in Mahabalipuram which date back to the Mahabharat as per legend.
The road was amazing as it was smooth and free from pot holes all the way through. The sea was visible in bits and pieces and was farther than I thought it would be. One drawback of this road stretch at that time was no good food joints apart from a government run Midway which was pretty average.
Two hours of riding a bike and we were there. It was quite balmy for February and I was surprised by the fierceness of the morning sun. It grew worse as the day progressed. Everywhere around I could spot lots of road side sellers, all selling beautifully carved granite stone items. I did pick up a pestle and mortar though had no idea how I would cart it back on the bike – it was damn heavy!
First stop was the Rathas – these are monolith temples built out of a single rock by the Pallava king Narasimhavarman-I (AD 630-660) and are called so as they resemble wooden chariots. These are called PanchPandava raths (Five Pandavas Chariots) but apparently have nothing whatsoever to do with the Mahabharata. Ok by now I was bamboozled by this fact and sought for more information on this.
But the stone temples made me stop in my tracks as they were just amazing in their construction. It's said that a huge rock sloping north to south was used to cut out each temples, few animals and figures that are found in this compound. I was amazed to see that the texture of the stone is still quite visible and it's not smoothened over the years or affected by the salty sea winds.
All the rathas are named after the five pandavas and their wife Draupadi but carry inscriptions from the Pallava empire and are in fact one of the finest specimen of Pallava plastic art form. These are said to have no precedent in Indian architecture and were declared a protected site by UNESCO in 1984 and are maintained by the ASI now.
All the five rathas are in one straight line starting from Dharamraj Ratha (Yudhishtra Ratha) to Bhima Ratha to Arjuna Ratha to Nakul-Sahadeva Ratha and finally the Draupadi Ratha which was the smallest of them all.
I couldn't figure out why they were named after these characters from the Mahabhartha but did hear that these were never desecrated and stand intact since the day they were built. An amazing accomplishment given that our country was raided and plundered by outsiders numerous times.
If you ever have the opportunity to visit Mahabalipuram, do stop by these incredible structures and marvel at the thought behind their conception. Oh and do note the sound of chisel and hammers all around as this town seemed to have some of the most gifted sculptors as evident from the wares being hawked from every street stand.
Jaisalmer's claim to fame is not only its most noted Golden fort but also the beautiful Patwonji Ki haveli which is not one but a series of 5 houses. The uniqueness of this homestead lies in the fact that it's the first of its kind to be constructed in Jaisalmer.
It's said that this Haveli was commissioned by one of the most wealthy brocade merchants of the city who also had homes built for his 5 sons within the same compound. Though it's disputed that the wealth was garnered through opium trafficking and moneylending; no one can contest the sheer architectural beauty of these buildings – inside out!
Having heard such fame and claim of these Havelis, it was but obvious that we had to make a pit stop here. Expecting a grand driveway to the cluster of Havelis, I was shocked to note its pedestrian approach. Its situated in a narrow by lane of Jaisalmer and if you didn't notice the architecture, you could have just gone past it with it knowing how famous it is.
The narrow lane is encroached upon by several pavement shops, selling handicrafts of every hue possible. Moreover one sees signs of government offices and come to realise that these jewels have been confiscated by sarkari babus as their mundane offices. How silly of the government to do that! I think ASI and a few other tourism related departments are housed here.
Ignoring the hideous signages, we climbed up the steps to enter a room that blew our minds away. Its jewel tones coupled with intricate mirror work on the walls and ceilings, literally stopped us in our tracks. As we stood gaping at the vivid hues, it struck us that the sandy desert monotone had been overshadowed by these interiors. Perhaps that was the intention of its creator – to escape the mundane tones and imbibe some life via colours and patterns in the décor.
The Havelis are interconnected and are a two storey affair. You have to marvel at the 60 interconnected balconies visible in the façade which I guess is a marvel in itself. When we climbed the upper floor we saw complete interiors of the rooms restored and barricaded to showcase yet preserve them from the tourists – I breathed a sigh of relief to note this.
Exquisite carvings on doors and pillars was a common sight here and it's said that all of the archways and windows have dissimilar patterns, making each unique. I loved walking around the balcony of the open courtyard which allowed for a peek below and also in the next courtyard.
Have you visited these Havellis? Have you heard about them? What did you think about them from this article?
Jaisalmer is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Rajasthan for its Golden Fort of the Shonar Qila – a name given to it by the famous Bengali writer/director Satyajit Ray. The fort is constructed of golden sandstone which turns to honey goldtones with the rays of the setting sun.
I will vouch for its sandy goldiness as I witnessed it first hand on a trip to Jaisalmer a few years back. The fort is a living one for most of its population within its walls and thrives from here. It lends quite a festive touch to the fort which are otherwise a sombre affair with their artful architecture and historic monotones.
The fort also house seven Jain temples, interconnected in a maze like arrangement and are also built out of the golden sandstone. The architectural details of these temples take inspiration from the famous Dilwara (Mt.Abu) and Ranakpur (Udaipur) temples – both in Rajasthan.
A beautifully worked ceiling with some amazing colours caught my eye and I strained to get it perfectly in my camera.
These Jain temples are said to be built in the 15th-16th century and are open all day to Jain devotees. Non-Jains need to adhere to the visiting times which are from early morning to about 12 noon. Also all shoes, leather items are to be deposited outside the temple as these are considered unclean to be carried inside the temple.
All the idols are made in some stone or the other and show a seated avatar.
The seven temples are dedicated to different Tirthankars – Parsavanath, Chandraprabhu, Rishabdeb, Shitalnath, Kuntinath, Shantinath and Sambhavnath. These temples are built back to back or adjacent to each other and I was quite confused as to where one began and the other ended.
A gorgeous series of columns flank long corridors which leads to the inner sanctums in one of the temple.
All I can say with certain clarity is the architectural carving were uniquely intricate and blew me away with their precision. Everywhere I looked – ceiling, domes, brackets, pillars, walls, corridors, columns- all were decorated with fine detailing in stone work representing animals, plants and deity figurines.
A deity is carved with amazing dexterity and entwined with other symbolic carvings, each highlighting the craftsmanship.
Unbelievable peace reigned supreme in the temples, despite them being live temples and there was no noise or dirt in any form there. Each and every wall is adorned with beatific carvings that echo the love of art and architecture of the patrons who indulged in buildings such gorgeous sanctums of religions.
I loved this demon like head which projected out from the base of a wall and seems to be a water spout of some kind or maybe hold oil.
Hello friends!!! Yet another exciting day dawns on this blog hop and to add to all the excitement, today I have the privilege of hosting one of the most popular lifestyle bloggers, Manisha!!! Read on to know her thoughts on the 5 must haves in your purse.
A girl can never have enough of bags, can we?
We carry a world along with us in our bags.
We have different bag for every occasion and they serve a different purpose.
Some of us prefer a compact bag like a satchel bag while some could prefer to carry a lot of stuff, so they might go in for a hobo bag. For small outings we carry a clutch or a sling bag while for travelling we carry a bag pack depends on the situation.
Whatever bag we may carry we have somethings which are absolute must haves or essentials while some depending on the situation/occasion.
Today I discuss with you 5 absolute must haves which a woman should carry with them.
The first and the foremost is some napkins/handkerchief/wet wipes. We travel we sweat or dust accumulates so we need to wipe it off as you can't have a dull face. If something spills off on the dress or may be sudden sneeze you may need something to wipe it off.
Anything wrong with makeup you need something to correct it. Napkins/handkerchief/wet wipes become a must have. If you carrying a handkerchief preferably carry a cotton one as it soaks and is soft on skin. Similarly, if you carrying a napkin use a soft one. Wet wipes are generally soft, and you have plenty of options to explore these days.
Next comes a lipstick or a lip balm. You may just be going to work or for a travel whatever be the case you don't want dry lips. Or if any sudden unplanned occasion comes up– then lipstick always does the trick.
The third would be some safety pins. You just never know when you need them! Last thing which you want is a wardrobe malfunction!
Fourth would be sanitary pad. I know you might know your date but it's always safe to carry one. You might need it for yourself or you could help someone. Remember- A friend in need is a friend indeed!
Last but not the least is MMK. Wondering what it is?
Well here it goes – (M)-Money, (M)Mobile and (K) Keys. Always carry cash even if you have cards and Mobile with all the apps. Carry you mobile which is charged. For emergency remember or have the numbers noted on small notepad. Your keys you need to get back home, right?

A Toronto startup that aims to help small businesses offer health insurance has raised a $25 million series A funding round from one of Canada's largest investment firms.
League, which holds its U.S. headquarters in Seattle, said Omers Ventures led its funding round, with participation from many other firms including Infinite Potential Technologies, Real Ventures and BDC IT Venture Fund.
League launched in Toronto, Seattle and Vancouver B.C. last year and offers a service that connects employees with health and wellness providers, and manages flexible spending accounts with employers.
Businesses can sign up for different health plans and set an annual spend amount per employee. League helps manage the accounts and finances behind the plans.
League plans to use the funding to grow its team and expand to more cities in the U.S.
League offers in a similar space, though in a different position, as embattled Silicon Valley startup Zenefits. The company ran into regulatory issues, including claims it used unlicensed brokers to sell insurance. It said this week it would lay off 106 people in addition to the 250-person layoff it announced earlier this year.
League does not act as a broker, but rather as a product, CEO Michael Serbinis told the Financial Post in Canada.

With an Execution Stayed, Texans Still Likelier to Be Executed Than Die in Plane Crash
While a death row prisoner awaits his fate, Texas justice under Governor Rick Perry has become more dangerous than air travel.
In 1995 Duane Buck murdered two people and shot and injured a third, a crime to which he has since confessed. The evidence against Buck was strong from the beginning, but things started to look even bleaker for him when psychologist Walter Quijano testified that black criminals like Buck are likelier than others to kill again. When Buck was found guilty and sentenced to death, his defense attorneys argued that Quijano's racial allegations tainted the court's decision, even though they're the ones who put Quijano on the stand in the first place.
Because of this argument, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled at the 11th hour yesterday to temporarily stay Buck's execution, which was supposed to take place last night. The Court will now review Buck's petition more fully and decide whether to allow the state to reschedule Buck's death or prohibit it from going forward.
If past is prologue, Buck will be executed despite the protestations of his supporters. When Brian Williams asked Perry about the death penalty during last week's Republican presidential debate, a sickening cheer rose from the audience when Williams noted that Perry has presided over a record 234 executions. Perry kept cool and responded saying that he's "never struggled" with the thought that an innocent person was killed on his watch, and that the death penalty in Texas is "fair." But while Perry's not losing sleep over how many people have been snuffed by the state while he's been at the helm, Texans themselves might want to sit up and take note: According to some so-called "napkin math"published by AlterNet editor Joshua Holland, under Governor Perry, Texans are likelier to be executed by the state than die in a plane crash. "For TX residents, the odds are: plane crash 5.85*10^-5%, Perry execution: 8.33*10^-5%," writes Holland.
Exacerbating everything is how wildly biased Texas' death penalty is. In general, blacks and Latinos make up 42 percent of the people killed under capital punishment in the United States. In Texas, however, that number jumps to 70 percent. And that's in a state that's more than 70 percent white. People executed in Texas are also wildly uneducated: Of the last 100 people killed by Texas, not a single one had a college education. The average had dropped out at around eighth grade.
Even if Holland's math is right, both the odds of dying in a plane crash and at the hands of the state remain wildly unlikely. Still, that our governments are now dispatching us more efficiently than Mother Nature is disconcerting at best. Hopefully that's something all involved will consider when deciding whether Buck lives or dies.

Tomorrow night I'm off to the Ola Belle Reed Homecoming Festival, which runs from Friday to Sunday in Lansing, North Carolina.
Although I'm not a big fan, its hard to resist bluegrass music. I always look forward to the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival held each October in Golden Gate Park, and I've been consistently blown away by the musicianship of the performers. I expect I'll be impressed by Grammy Award-winner Tim O'Brien and others playing at Ola Belle this year.
Besides, my parents live near Lansing and I'm overdue for a visit.

Alicante and its attractions
11.04.2021 The cities of the Pyrenees and around with Andrew Morato / cities, europe, holidays, spain, tourism, vacations
Alicante (in Valencian and co-officially Alacant) is a city and a municipality in Spain, capital of the province of the same name, in the Valencian Community. Port city, is located on the Mediterranean coast. It is the second most populated municipality in the autonomous community and the 11th in the country.
It forms an agglomeration with many cities in the Campo de Alicante region: San Vicente del Raspeig, San Juan de Alicante, Muchamiel) and Campello. It is also linked to the metropolis of Alicante – Elche.
It's an important and popular part of the Costa Blanca of the Mediterranean resorts of Spain
It is the headquarters of organizations such as the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO), Casa Mediterráneo, the Ministry of Innovation, Universities, Science and Digital Society of the Generalitat Valenciana or the Ombudsman of the Valencian Community.
It has an important Mediterranean port and its airport, located in its surroundings, is the fifth in Spain in number of passengers.
The capital and its metropolitan area are connected through the Alicante Metropolitan TRAM.
The main university institution is the University of Alicante and among its cultural infrastructures the Ciudad de la Luz film studio stands out.
Its most important festivals are the Bonfires of San Juan, which are held from June 19 to 24 and are declared a holiday of International Tourist Interest.
Museums such as the Archaeological Museum of Alicante (MARQ Museo Arqueologico de Alicante), the Museum of Contemporary Art (Museo de Arte Contemporaneo de Alicante (MACA) or The Ocean Race Museum stand out.
Basilica of Santa María (Iglesia de Santa María, 14th-16th centuries). Designed in the Gothic style, it was built at the place of the old Great Mosque. It is the oldest temple in the city. Its main altar, in the Rococo style, and its façade, in the Baroque style, both from the 18th century stand out.
Co-Cathedral of San Nicolás de Bari (15th-17th centuries). Also built on the remains of another mosque, it is considered one of the most significant historical monuments in the city. After the civil war of 1936-39, the cathedral was restored. The façade of the cathedral is the work of Juán de Herrera, the architect who designed the monastery of the famous El Escorial, near Madrid. The cathedral houses a gilded altar surrounded by openwork gratings, as well as altars in the whimsical Churriguera style (Spanish Baroque of the early 18th century).
El Monasterio de Santa Verónica/ de Santa Faz (15th century). Located 5 km north of the town center, it is in the Baroque style. Every year, on the second Thursday after Easter, there is a massive pilgrimage that starts from San Nicolás to this monastery.
Defense Towers of the Huerta de Alicante (15th-17th centuries). Defensive bulwarks built in the Huerta de Alicante to defend themselves from the attacks of the Barbary pirates. At present little more than 20 towers are conserved. Some of them are of great beauty, such as Verónica, Reixes or Bonanza. They have been declared a Site of Cultural Interest with the category of monument.
Alicante Town Hall (18th century). Along Calle Mayor, which was the city's main shopping street until the 19th century, you can go to Plaza del Ayuntamiento, where the Ayuntamiento (city hall) is located. This building is famous for its remarkable 18th century Baroque façade by the local architect Lorenzo Chápuli.
Canónigas de San Agustín Convent (18th century). The construction began in 1732, its works lasted until the beginning of the 19th century.
Gravina Palace (18th century). Built between 1748 and 1808 as the palace of the Count of Lumiares, it currently houses the Gravina Museum of Fine Arts, dedicated to regional painting and sculpture from the 16th to the early 20th centuries.
Maisonnave Palace-Municipal Archive (18th century). Palatial house located in the old town, on the ground floor remains of a late Roman necropolis have been found.
Palace of the Portalet (18th century). It houses an Interpretation Center of the building itself, the Collection of Romanillos-Harris Spanish Guitars, and the permanent exhibition "Monumental Alicante from Vila Nova to Vila Vella" that runs through the Old Town of Alicante, through seven historic buildings.
Alicante Principal Theater (19th century). Neoclassical style building, it was inaugurated in 1847.
Alicante bullring (19th century). It was built in 1848, being renovated in 1888, when it took on its current appearance.
Central Market of Alicante (20th century) was built between 1911 and 1921 on the old Plaza de Balmes.
Alicante Provincial Council building (20th century). Neoclassical palace, it was opened in 1931 and inaugurated by Niceto Alcalá Zamora, the first president of the Second Spanish Republic, in 1932.
Fish Market (20th century). From the beginning of the 20th century, it is an industrial building, which integrates neo-Arab ornamental details. It has served as an exhibition hall since 1992.
Castle of Santa Bárbara (14th-18th centuries). Located in the highest part of Mount Benacantil, it dominates the entire Huerta de Alicante and from there you can see the island of Tabarca. An old Arab castle, it was rebuilt by the Christians and consists of three precincts from the 14th, 16th and 18th centuries.
Castle of San Fernando (19th century). It was built in 1813 to defend the city from the Napoleonic invasion. Its reconstruction is currently underway.
Tabarca Island. Declared a Historic-Artistic Site in 1964. Pirates and smugglers considered Tabarka an excellent place for a transshipment warehouse and temporary stay, and the island itself was in turn part of either Algeria or Spain.
The Archaeological Museum of Alicante, previously called the Provincial Archaeological Museum of Alicante and known by the acronym MARQ, is located in Plaza Doctor Gómez Ulla. It was inaugurated in its final form in 2000 in the building of the old Hospital San Juan de Dios (work of Juan Vidal Ramos, 1926-1929). It has a room on prehistory, Iberian culture, Roman culture, Middle Ages and modern and contemporary cultures. In addition, it has an area for temporary exhibitions.
The Museum of Contemporary Art of Alicante (MACA) is one of the most important samples of contemporary art that are exhibited nationwide. It houses 177 works, including paintings, sculptures and graphic works by 114 artists including Joan Miró, Picasso, Julio González, Juan Gris, Kandinsky, Dalí, Chagall, Arp, Calder, Bacon, Giacometti, Tàpies, Pablo Serrano, Millares, Saura, Guerrero, Chillida, Vasarely, Agam, Soto, Rauschenberg, Oldenburg, Equipo Crónica, Canogar or Christo.
The Museum of Fine Arts Gravina (MUBAG) is located inside the Palace of the Count of Lumiares, a four-story building built between 1748 and 1808 and declared a Historic Artistic Monument of a local character. This museum is dedicated to Alicante painting and sculpture, from the 16th century to the first decades of the 20th century. It houses the works of some of Alicante's most prominent artists of the 19th century, including Emilio Varela Isabel.
The Ocean Race Museum, formerly the Volvo Ocean Race Museum, is a sports museum dedicated to the Ocean Race sailing regatta. Its construction began on the occasion of the second regatta, the start took place in Alicante (2011-12 edition).
The museum occupies 1,300 square meters of the Old Oran Maritime Station, in the Port of Alicante. It has two floors: on the ground floor is the exhibition space and the museum library; the second floor has a multipurpose space for workshops and a cafeteria-restaurant with a large terrace and views of the sea.
The Nueva Tabarca Museumis located on the island of Tabarca, in the municipality of Alicante. It was inaugurated in 2004 in the old Almadraba building, a warehouse used mainly for tuna fishing. The museum focuses on the study and dissemination of the relationships that coastal populations have established.
The Principal Theater is the most important theater building in Alicante. It is located in the Ruperto Chapí square. The building project was carried out by the Alicante architect Emilio Jover Perrón in a neoclassical style. On February 28, 1939, during the Civil War, it was partially destroyed by a bombardment, so it had to be restored between 1939 and 1941 by the architect Juan Vidal Ramos. Subsequently, from 1985 to 1992, it was renovated, its stage was enlarged.
The Bonfires of Saint John. This is a traditional and popular festival celebrated throughout Spain in early summer. It takes place on the evening of June 23rd, on the eve of St. John. This is the most important festival in the city.
There is a traditional shopping area in the center of Alicante – it is located in the triangle formed by the Rambla de Méndez Núñez, Avenida de Alfonso X El Sabio and Avenida de Maisonnave where you can find both small shops and large chains of national and international brands. You can also find five shopping centers in the city: Puerta de Alicante, Gran Vía, Plaza Mar, Vistahermosa and Panoramis. In the Playa de San Juan area there is the Alicante Golf shopping center.

The best beaches of the Mediterranean coast are: San Juan beach, Cabo de la Huerta creeks, Almadraba beach, La Albufereta beach, Postiguet beach, Saladares-Urbanova beach, Tabarca island.
Since June 2016, Aguamarga beach (adapted for dogs) has been opened.
Alicante–Elche Miguel Hernández Airport, commonly known as Alicante–Elche Airport or simply Alicante Airport and originally named El Altet, is —as of 2020— the fifth-busiest airport in Spain based on passenger numbers, and the main airport serving the Valencian Community and the Region of Murcia. The airport is located in the municipality of Elche, about 10 kilometres east of this city and about 9 km southwest of Alicante.
Its influence area spans other cities in the Valencia province—the city of Valencia is located about 160 km north of the airport—and in the Region of Murcia. The airport is located about 70 km north of Murcia city.
Alicante railway station is used by Cercanías Murcia/Alicante commuter rail services linking Alicante with suburbs and Murcia. Long-range Renfe trains run frequently to Madrid, Barcelona, and Valencia. In 2013, the Madrid–Levante high-speed rail network was extended to Alicante station, allowing AVE high-speed rail services to link to Madrid via Villena AV, Albacete – Los Llanos and Cuenca-Fernando Zóbel.
Alicante Tram connects the city with outlying settlements along Costa Blanca. As of 2020, electric tram-trains run up to Benidorm, and diesel trains go further to Dénia.

Q: Php remove () in a function to make it easier to use I am creating a little system which will allow users to extend the system with their own classes.
Class Core {
static $confArray;
static $extendArray;
protected static $instance;
public function read($name)
{
    return self::$confArray[$name];
}
public function put($name, $value)
{
    self::$confArray[$name] = $value;
}
public function extend($function, $handler, $args=null){

    self::$extendArray[$function] = new $handler($args);
}
public function __call($method, $args){
    return self::$extendArray[$method];
}
public static function getInstance()
{
    if (!isset(self::$instance))
    {
        $object =__CLASS__;
        self::$instance= new $object;
    }
    return self::$instance;
}
}

With That, now a user can come and register a simple extension from such a class:
class WorkersTest{
function isWorking($who){
    echo "$who is working";
}
function isNotWorking($who){
    echo "$who is not working";
}
}

To call the function (isworking/ isNotWorking), a the programmer needs to register the test class through:
Core::getInstance->extend("worker","WorkersTest");

Then it can now be called through:
Core::getInstance->worker()->isWorking("George");

This is working perfectly. My question is how i can remove the () in the call (dont worry why) and have:
Core::getInstance->worker->isWorking("George");

Is it possible?

A: You can use the magic __get() method, just like __call():
public function __get($name)
{
    return $this->$name();
}

A: Try overriding the magic __get() method to return what you need:
Class Core {

   // (...)

   public function __get($name) {
      if (isset( self::$extendArray[$function] )) {
         return $this->$name();
      }
      //if there is no function registered under named "$name"
      //throwing Exception is by design better, as @scragar suggested
      throw new Exception("No function registered under named {$name}");
      //return NULL;
   }
}

Review: The Expert Versus the Object:
Judging Fakes and False Attributions in the Visual Arts. Ronald D. Spencer (Ed.). New York: Oxford University Press, 2004.
The Expert Versus the Object remains the best published resource to date addressing the complex issues of fine art attribution and authentication. Written specifically for a broad group of interested parties: artists and their heirs, dealers, collectors, scholars, museum curators, auction house experts, lawyers and judges, part one of the book is comprised of 13 essays by veteran art world experts, who detail their various perspectives on connoisseurship, the authentication process, and the catalogue raisonne. Art law attorney, Ronald D. Spencer, edited the volume and contributed three of the five essays in the second part of the book, which address the legal ramifications and risks of proclaiming an artwork fake or genuine. Published in this age of unprecedented prices on the art market, with a concomitant rise in forgeries, scams, and litigation, the volume should be mandatory reading for its intended audience, and anyone contemplating entering the art market.
While the "problem" of fakes in the marketplace could be defined in artistic or philosophical terms, the central theme in this volume is money, the financial impact of fraudulent art on the market, on art owners, even on authenticators themselves. "For a $500 fee, why should the expert risk a multi-million dollar lawsuit" filed by one party or another unhappy with his determination? The stakes are high for art world, built as it is, as one art historian put it, upon a "growing lack of confidence in seemingly subjective expert opinion concerning art, and the parallel lack of consistent procedures for applying such expertise." While the general American public has always been rather suspicious of "fine" art to begin with, today even art-minded people are growing concerned over the state of authenticity. Our best museum experts are now admitting they purchased fakes, the Rembrandt Research Project removed the stamp of approval from hundreds of works once attributed to the Dutch master, and its one art-related case after another in our courts creating a "body of case law as confusing in its contradictions as it is cock-eyed in its connoisseurship," as Lee Rosenbaum phrased it in the Wall Street Journal .
Several contributors to The Expert believe that art world experts have not been particularly effective (or interested) in explaining their methods, making the attribution process seem highly subjective. This atmosphere of confusion, combined with experts' fears of legal liability, has created a "fertile ground in which fakes and false attributions flourish." Falsely attributed artworks, as opposed to outright "fakes" intended to deceive, make up the bulk of problem. Over the centuries, most artists did not always sign their works, creating an ocean of art today that still needs sorting out. When parties disagree about the scholarly opinion of experts, the last recourse is often the courtroom, where sitting judges become the de facto arbiters of authenticity. With a better understanding of art world industry knowledge, Spencer believes lawyers and judges would give better counsel and make better judicial decisions. For their part, art experts should endeavor to follow and explain a systematic and professional process of analysis. The ineffable qualities of art they consider must be translated verbally into cogent argument.
The real life experiences in the turgid waters of the art world discussed by all the contributors to The Expert make it both highly informative and an enjoyable read. Some of the various author's recommendations should prove useful and effective, for instance, well-drafted authentication agreements with hold-harmless clauses for art experts. Others, such as a single umbrella organization to administer all authentications, seem most unlikely. One particular anecdote seems to encapsulate the highly charged and dramatic character of all authentication disputes. Theodore E. Stebbins, Jr., the acknowledged expert on the American painter Martin Johnson Heade, remembers giving an affirmative authentication to an upcoming auction painting after viewing it in photographs. Later, on auction day, plagued with nagging doubts, Stebbins raced to the auction house to inspect the painting in person. With only 20 minutes before the lot was due to come to the block, he changed his opinion and the painting was removed from the sale. At that moment a valuable asset lost almost all its value, the auction house lost its expected commission, and an expert potentially invited a lawsuit for product disparagement or some other cause of action. In this case, as it happens, the owner took his knock-off and went home.
Not addressed at any length in The Expert is the problem of what to do with disavowed and fake artworks after they have received the thumbs down. In France the holder of the right of authentication, part of droit morale , actually has the option of destroying an artwork that he has deemed inauthentic. In the U.S., no such law exists, which allows known fakes to pop up on the market again and again over time through innocent happenstance or deliberate deceit. Shopping a fake around the art world until one unknowing auction house or another accepts it on consignment is a commonplace. Nor, do catalogues raisonne usually include a section for rejected works. Spencer links our cultural timidity to cope with paintings of false attribution as another symptom of the chilling effect of litigation against experts, who now usually only say that a particular work will or will not "be included in a catalogue raisonne" instead of using words like: genuine, authentic or fake. More chilling still are the death threats one author received while preparing a catalogue raisonne; the publisher cancelled the project.
As the issues are laid out, participants educated and possible solutions proposed, the attribution and authentication problem should improve. The Expert versus the Object goes a long way toward this goal, but certainly more work must be done. A volume II would be justified if only to examine any progress made since original publication in 2004, and to assimilate new case law and relevant legislation, such as the Pension Protection Act of 2006, which for the first time ordained a recognized standard for appraisers, The Uniform Standards for Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP). Perhaps government regulations are in order for the authentication process. Recently an art collector filed suit in New York against the Jean-Michel Basquiat Authentication Committee. His allegation: that the Committee has refused to offer any opinion whatsoever on his painting, which they had accepted for official review three years ago.

The ability to individualize the use of currently used drugs will not only permit the identification of individuals vulnerable to drug side effects but, perhaps more importantly, will allow us to identify those patients who will or will not respond to a particular drug treatment. As discussed above, there are certain research areas where this is of vital importance, e.g. in the treatment of cancer, but also for other diseases such as the control of serum cholesterol with statins or the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, where a significant proportion of the population do not respond to these agents. For certain drugs there are already prescribing guidelines; for example, in the treatment of childhood leukaemia with 6-mercaptopur-ine (Armstrong et al., 2004) and in the use of Glivec (Vastag, 2004) and Herceptin (Bell et al., 2004). There is, however, still an urgent need for new studies to identify genes which influence drug metabolism and efficacy, and to correlate genetically determined variation in these genes with treatment response. It is, of course, possible that such pharmacogenetic studies could be incorporated within other existing large population-based studies such as deCODE (www.decode.com) and the UK Biobank (www.ukbiobank.ac.uk). However, unless the requisite protocols and infrastructure for pharmacogenetic analysis are embedded in the conceptual and design phases of these studies it will be impossible to collect this information retrospectively.
The pharmaceutical industry is acutely aware of the need to consider the implications of pharma-cogenetics on the discovery and use of new drugs. It has important implications for the industry as, in the first instance, many new drug targets are identified as susceptibility genes and are therefore by definition polymorphic in the human population. A number of major pharmaceutical companies now routinely screen new drug targets to establish the extent to which genetically determined variation is of significance to new drug development programmes. If a drug target is polymorphic, this information may be used to identify individuals who will respond differently to drug treatment. Although this information is not currently publicly available, new FDA (Food and Drug Administration) guidelines in the USA will require the inclusion of pharmacogenetic information as part of future regulatory submissions for all new drugs (Lesko and Woodcock, 2002).
The most appropriate time to establish whether a polymorphism in a new drug target is an important determinant of therapeutic efficacy is during Phase 3 clinical trials, where blood samples are routinely collected from all trial participants and where the incorporation of additional genotype analysis will therefore be relatively routine and will not have significant cost implications. The ability of pharmaceutical companies to use genetic information to subdivide their patient populations into respon-ders and non-responders may, on the one hand, reduce their market share, as it may not be possible to design new ''blockbuster'' drugs suitable for all patients. However, it is also possible that genetic testing may identify a subpopulation of responders, which would permit limited drug registration. The concept that future new drugs may be licensed together with an appropriate genetic test is attractive, although it would be necessary to limit prescription to areas/countries where both genetic testing and appropriate qualified interpretation is routinely available.


There is a new leaked photo of iPhone 7 found at Chinese micro-blogging website Weibo which shows the back side of iPhone 7 with redesigned antenna lines and protruding iSight camera lens. Existing rumors from valid sources claim that the iPhone 7 will not get any big design changes overall and apple will still hold the iPhone 6 design for the upcoming iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus models.
Today, the leaked iPhone 7 photo of 4.7 inch model confirms the same.
As many researchers pointed out earlier, that Apple will bring big changes to iPhone 7S and iPhone 7S Plus in 2017 and there will be no big surprises for people who are waiting for iPhone 7 in September 2016. There will be new processors, more RAM memory, display and battery boost can be expected with the release of iPhone 7.
Just like earlier models, apple iPhone 7 release will target iPhone 6 and early model owners to upgrade and experience the changes in overall speed and performance. iPhone 6S and 6S Plus owners will have very less reasons to upgrade.
So what do you think about the iPhone 7 leaked photo? are you waiting for September 2016 to upgrade ? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comment box below. Thanks for reading and have a wonderful day.

Scott Michel Talks to Bloomberg Law on Offshore Bank Accounts
December 3, 2021, Bloomberg Law
The U.S. government has worked hard over the past decade to stop Americans from hiding bank accounts offshore to evade taxes. But not hard enough. It has become more difficult to maintain secret accounts, but it's still happening, as recent examples show.
One last tax escape hatch is the use of so-called nominees, family members or other third parties who are citizens of another country and hold the accounts in their names. Many taxpayers who took advantage of the IRS's voluntary disclosure program cited the use of nominees. But unless taxpayers fess up to this tactic, it can be difficult for the IRS or banks to uncover — especially if there are no transfers of funds to the U.S., according to Scott Michel, a tax attorney at Caplin & Drysdale.

Home/World/One Of The Strongest Storms In Years Will Brush Alaska This Week
One Of The Strongest Storms In Years Will Brush Alaska This Week
A visible satellite image of a low-pressure system approaching the Bering Sea on December 30, 2020.
2021 will begin with a roar in the northern Pacific as a growing low-pressure system reaches incredible intensity over Alaska's Aleutian Islands. The system could bottom-out on Friday with a minimum central pressure below 930 mb. Even though this storm will have a minimum pressure that rivals the strongest hurricanes, the two types of storms couldn't be more different. The process that goes into creating such a powerful system is as fascinating as the storm itself.
The National Weather Service in Anchorage says a storm hasn't grown this strong in the Bering Sea since 2014. The latest forecast from the Ocean Prediction Center shows the immense low-pressure system achieving its peak intensity on Friday morning with a minimum central pressure of about 927 mb.

NOAA/OPC
That's an impressive intensity for any low-pressure system. For some perspective, a minimum pressure below 930 mb is about what you would expect from a scale-topping hurricane. Hurricane Laura made landfall in Louisiana this past August with maximum sustained winds of 150 MPH and a minimum central pressure of 938 mb. Hurricane Iota, the Atlantic season's only category five storm, reached a minimum pressure of 917 mb at its peak.
Even though the Alaskan low is slated to grow as strong as some of the most powerful hurricanes this season, extratropical cyclones and tropical cyclones are more like cousins than identical twins.
An extratropical cyclone is our everyday low-pressure system that features frontal boundaries rotating around the center of the storm. Think of a dynamic winter storm rolling across the country—you can see heavy snow to the north, clear and frigid skies to the west, and severe thunderstorms embedded in warm and humid air to the south.
A tropical cyclone, on the other hand, is a low-pressure system that features warm and humid air throughout the entire storm. Tropical cyclones have a tight core of powerful winds surrounding its eye, the strength of which gradually tapers off with distance from the center of the storm.
The key difference between the two types of low-pressure systems is how they draw their energy.
Tropical cyclones develop from clusters of persistent thunderstorms. The updrafts feeding these thunderstorms draw air up and away from the surface. A center of low pressure will form at the surface if the process continues undisturbed. Stronger storms lead to stronger lows, which in turn will trigger stronger thunderstorms to continue the feedback loop. The only limitation to the strength of a storm is the strength and persistence of the thunderstorms around the eye of the storm.
A weather model graphic showing the jet stream over the northern Pacific Ocean on December 31, 2020.
TropicalTidbits.com
While a tropical cyclone essentially powers itself, an extratropical cyclone is almost entirely reliant on upper-level winds for development. Strong winds in the upper levels of the atmosphere converge and diverge with the twists and turns of the jet stream. Divergence, or winds fanning out and spreading apart, leaves less air in the upper atmosphere, forcing air from the surface to rush upward to fill the growing void. Stronger jet streams can result in stronger divergence, which can generate stronger low-pressure systems at the surface.
That's what we're going to see in the northern Pacific Ocean later this week. The west-to-east oriented jet stream will grow incredibly strong on Thursday and Friday, packing winds stronger than 200 MPH at its greatest extent. This will lead to intense divergence that will power the low-pressure system over the Aleutian Islands to an intensity rarely seen in this part of the world.
While the Bering low will have a minimum pressure similar to what we see in the strongest hurricanes, it won't have winds nearly as strong as one of those scale-topping storms. The energy in an extratropical cyclone is diffused across the storm, leading to a widespread area of strong winds rather than a tight core of dangerous winds like we would see in a hurricane.
This storm will bring rough conditions to the Aleutian Islands and shipping lanes in the Bering Sea. Sustained winds stronger than 60 MPH are likely across a large area surrounding the storm, potentially generating 50-foot seas and wind damage to communities on the Aleutian Islands.
