Gender pay gaps are not limited to wages alone. This is revealed by a recent pioneering study in 27 EU-members states. Expense compensation, annual allowances, bonuses, insurance and pensions schemes show gender gaps too, across the EU, and most frequently favour men. Yet in all countries working women do participate in such schemes as well, in about a third of them even more frequently than men do. Therefore it seems that heightened awareness and assertivity of female employees during negotiations might reduce these secondary gender pay gaps.
In 24 of the 27 countries sufficient observations were collected through the online WageIndicator salary surveys, to which over half a million employees contributed their data, in the period between January 2014 and July 2016. The study is the first to zoom in on gender gaps in the field of secondary working conditions.
Expense compensation is quite common. Only in 6 countries less than 10% of the employees report receiving an expense compensation. In 12 countries the percentages range between 10 and 20%. In another 3 countries the outcomes are between 20 and 30%, and in 2 countries between 30 and 40%. Belgium reports over 40% of coverage. Yet gender differences are substantial. In 19 countries men report expense compensation more frequently than women, in the remaining 5 countries the opposite holds. The gender gap for countries where men more often report expense compensation ranges between 1% and 8%. The gender gap for countries where women more often report an expense compensation ranges between near 0 and 4%.
For 24 of the 27 countries sufficient information was available to reveal substantial gender differences regarding bonuses. 18 countries favour men: the gender differences vary between near 0 and 6 percentage-points. In the 6 countries favouring women the differences range from 1 to 7 percentage points, with the exception of Estonia where 30% of women against only 7% of men report that they were paid annual bonuses.
Participation in profit schemes by gender varies widely across the 22 countries for which data is sufficient. The lowest gender gaps (around 1%) are found in Denmark, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, and Sweden. Belgium (11%) and the UK (12%) show the highest gaps. Yet, these gender differences as to participation in profit schemes all favour men, with the exception of Poland where women score slightly better than men in profit schemes.
Quite in keeping with this picture gender gaps for vouchers, discounts or payments in kind mostly favour men, i.e. in 17 of the 22 countries with sufficient data. Here the highest gender gap is found in the United Kingdom with 10 percentage-points. Only in 5 countries women receive vouchers, discounts and payments in kind more often than men, between near 0 in Austria and 8 percentage-points in Finland.
In terms of employer's contributions to pension and insurance schemes, again, the analysis reveals substantial gender gaps, mostly in favour of men. This is the case in 15 of the 24 countries with sufficient data. In this group differences range from 1 in Finland to 20 percentage-points in Malta. Yet, in 9 countries the differences favour women, varying between near 0 in Greece and 27 percentage-points for Estonia. In 16 of the 24 countries the insurance gap favours men, with gender differences ranging from near 0 in Greece to 16 percentage-points in Malta. In 8 countries the differences favour women however, from near 0 in Romania to 24 percentage-points in Estonia.
Report: Analyses of the gender pay gap in monetory and non monetory allowances and bonuses, was conducted by University of Amsterdam/AIAS. This report is part of the WITA project.
What is the WITA-Gender Pay Gap project?
With Innovative Tools Against Gender Pay Gap – WITA GPG (January 2015 - December 2016) aims to make a significant contribution in reducing the large and enduring gender pay gap. It is made possible by the European Commission PROGRESS program Action Grant nr. 4000004929. One of the activities is to compare male and female wages at the level of occupational groups and release the results for publication at the national WageIndicator websites of all 28 EU-member states and Turkey, as well as dissemination though press releases.

Senior Resource Services would like to thank the sponsors, volunteers, and cyclists who participated in our second annual Ride & Revel! for their role its overwhelming success.
In true Weld County fashion, sponsors stepped up with financial as well as in-kind and volunteer support, 100 volunteers worked tirelessly with smiles on their faces, and cyclists reveled in stunning views on 20, 40, and 55-mile routes before returning to enjoy brews and blues in downtown Greeley. Special thanks go to sponsors Meeker's a Colorado Kitchen & Bar, Greeley Subaru, Monfort Family Foundation and Bullseye Testing. In addition, many partnered with us through their willingness to display posters, yard signs, and mysterious neon green bikes. Thank you!
Transportation is the No. 1 reason older adults lose their independence, and your generous support of Ride & Revel! results in the ability of Weld County's aging population to live healthy, independent lives through the use of our 60+ Ride program. With the 65-plus demographic in Weld projected to increase another 68 percent by 2030, the concept of Ride & Revel! was developed to raise money to increase the capacity of 60-plus Ride to meet their needs while promoting downtown Greeley and cycling in Weld County. The event attracted cyclists from around Colorado as well as Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, Wyoming and the country of Colombia, and this was only the second annual Ride & Revel!
We are deeply grateful for your support of Senior Resource Services' 60+ Ride program through your involvement in our Ride & Revel! event, and we hope to see you all at next year's event on Saturday, July 20, 2019.


So I finalized my colors last night. I went to http://www.behr.com and they allow you to explore the colors and how they would look in a room! So...here we go!
Good to hear you've gotten so much prep work done. Just keep in mind though, you may want to try a smal sampleof the paint colors in the rooms first before you buy the paint to do the whole rooms. For some reason, the paint colors always look different when you get them in the rooms.
Also, if you decide to do that wood trim thing, I'd be happy to let dave borrow my power mitre saw...provided he gives me my dremel back.


Welcome back. This week Irina and I are covering episode 12 of The Morose Mononokean Season 2. Irina is bold and in blue, and I'm in red.
I don't even know where to start this week. This episode was just really great to watch. It felt like so much happened and yet I was genuinely surprised when the end credits started rolling because it felt like no time had passed. Did you like it?
I immediately jumped on my computer to make sure it wasn't the last episode. This episode more than ever, I had the sinking feeling I would have to start a new manga collection. And I'm the type of cray I can't just read them online because…crazy?
Ok short answer (too late): Yes, I liked it!
Once again, I am left wondering just how much the Legislator is manipulating the situation. Kuruo's sudden visit to White Sand Prison and her wink as she asked Abeno to accompany her just seemed to suspect to really just assume it was a coincidence. And yet, what does she have to gain in this situation? It would really be nice to know if the Legislator is pulling the strings and if he is, what he is trying to get from it all.
Right from the first instants, where Ripou mentions that the prison is "not well guarded on the inside" I had my suspicions.
On a technical note, I was reminded how great Ripou's voice is. He has this way of playing with inflection that makes everything sound just a little fishy. Something is definitely up.
I found Abeno's sneaking around the prison to find the library unintentionally hilarious. For someone who is usually so straightforward and upfront, sneaking just doesn't suit him and he's not very good at it. I did like that he kind of panicked and took the book accidentally. It seemed like a fairly natural reaction of someone who is not used to being underhanded. Also, his freak out when it poked out of his clothes was also pretty priceless.
I was actually sort of freaked out at Kuruo mentioning that the medicine was used for torture. This season is slowly shifting the tone of The Morose Mononokean into something much more threatening.
I do agree that seeing Abeno flustered is a bit of a treat. I wouldn't mind seeing more of that, if I wasn't worried about him. I've been worrying about Abeno for no particular reason since season 1 and now everything's converging on him.
It was really great to see those gorgeous Underworld vistas again!
There were however two things with this early part of the episode that bothered me. The first was that somehow Abeno had apparently had time to read the whole account, or at least a large part of it, which makes you wonder how long it takes to deliver medicine. But the second was just how easily he found exactly what he was looking for. Admittedly, the library was neatly ordered, but it still seemed far too easy that the first book he took off the shelf had the account he was looking for and he managed to find that account in the book with very little difficulty. It is a minor complaint but it just seemed too simple.
I agree with the second part but I'm not sure about the first. I thought he had flipped to a random page and that was all that he read. I may just be charitable.
That the Legislator ends up with the book just brings me back to wondering what he's up to and how much he's actually involved in everything.
I think it's a power play. He wants to take some authority away from the other two. The Executive and the Justice also seem a lot closer to each other than to the Legislator, there may be something to that. But let's go back to the mundane world, because they are slowly weaving the two together.
We do see these two together a lot.
I really enjoyed Hanae's attempt at bribing Yahiko to show him what Sakae looked like. It was such a typical interaction between them with Yahiko just crushing Hanae and stringing him along. It is nice to know that despite Hanae's awakening power some things haven't changed.
I like Yahiko quite a bit. I shouldn't, but I do. Seeing those two together was a fun little romp and a break in the tension.
But, then we get into the final part of the episode where Hanae and Abeno are asked to go check out a shrine by Zenko. I really want to just swat Zenko's father. He sent them there, through Zenko, without giving them all the information he had and that just seems really reckless.
OK, three things I noticed in the last prt. First, the mundane world was awash in yellow. The palette was warm and pale. Yellow is happy, obviously sunny but it's also associated with lies. There's something we don't know going on.
Finally, the web and spider motifs were superimposed over an adorable little pig yokai, which to me instantly brought up the idea of Charlotte's Web.
Wow, that is really Charlotte's Web. I hadn't thought of that.
Then of course the whole thing ends on a cliffhanger as we go into the final episode of the season. I will admit, this season has been a lot more exciting and interesting than season one so I am definitely anticipating that final episode.
There are two other things I enjoyed this episode. The first was Hanae's sister and her phone call. While it is mostly disconnected from a lot of the rest of the story, I kind of like this deeper look at his family given that was missing entirely from season one. Also, with the current drama all revolving around the man who may have been his father, it is nice to see the other family members getting a bit of screen time.
The other thing I really enjoyed was the visual contrast between the underworld and the mundane world. I've appreciated this even in season one, but this episode did an excellent job of showcasing the vastly different colour palettes used for the two settings and honestly it just made the episode a visual feast for the eyes.
The episode had some truly beautiful scenery in both worlds. It was great to watch.
I am also going to give this episode bonus points for using Fuzzy as a projectile weapon.
I knew you would pick up on the Fuzzy attack. It was very pokemonish. I want to see Natsume just flinging Nyanko at things. I know we're not comparing the two shows but it would be hilarious. Besides, we are then shown that a powerful yokai seems to have been sealed in a little offering shrine. What am I supposed to think about?
Oh, now I want to see that. And Nyanko's reaction afterward because I'm better he would definitely pay Natsume back for doing that to him.
Anyway, one episode to go and I can't wait.
This is another anime I plan to binge on in the future. Just finished Natsume's Book of Friends and I'm taking another swipe at 3-gatsu no Lion.

The transition away from the triple-option was no easy task for Georgia Tech in the first season under head coach Geoff Collins.
By Learfield/IMG College
But heading into year two the Yellow Jackets could see a noticeable improvement in all facets as they team has that transition year under its belt.
With Collins' "Above the Line" depth chart philosophy, rewarding outstanding effort with playing time, fans should expect to see new faces compete next to familiar ones.
Thanks to having the second-fewest seniors (eight) and 11th-most freshmen (55) of any FBS team in 2019, the Yellow Jackets return a lot of contributors. That experience within the system, off and on the field, will be valuable this season as the Yellow Jackets look climb up the Coastal Division ranks.
The Jackets return most of the players who started the majority of games on both sides of the ball, including their starting quarterback James Graham, leading rusher Jordan Mason, leading receiver Ahmarean Brown, leading tackler David Curry, interception leader Kaleb Oliver and sack leader Ja'Quon Griffin.
Collins said that after seeing the first workouts for the 2020 season, that it was a night and day difference between today's team and where the team stood at the start of the 2019 season.
He noted the team was more efficient in practice, getting more practice reps and performing at a higher tempo thanks to familiarity with the drills and practice structure. He said the additional time in the weight room and conditioning the team put in during the offseason was paying off.
Having a full year in the system also helped the Yellow Jackets build for the future in another key way. In his first full year of recruiting, Collins signed the second-highest rated class in program history and the highest since 2007.
Last season, Jordan Mason rushed for 100 or more yards three times and scored a touchdown in six games.

The class was ranked No. 24 in the nation by Rivals. Eleven players in the class are from Georgia, so Collins was able to keep some of the talent in-state. Seven others are from Florida. Among the players who can make an immediate impact are graduate transfer offensive lineman Ryan Johnson from Tennessee.
Running back Jahmyr Gibbs was among the top signees in the 2020 class. The four-star recruit was Georgia's 6-A Offensive Player of the Year and an All-American after posting 2,554 yards and 40 touchdowns as a senior. Other four-star recruits include cornerback Miles Brooks and defensive end Jared Ivey. Despite a challenging schedule, the outlook is hopeful for the Yellow Jackets to make a step forward in 2020.

Head coach Geoff Collins is in his second season at the helm at Georgia Tech/
Widely regarded as one of college football's top young coaches and recruiters, Collins was named the 20th head coach in Georgia Tech football history on Dec. 7, 2018, after recording 15 wins in two seasons as head coach at Temple. A metro-Atlanta native, Collins returns to The Flats after having previously served as a graduate assistant, tight ends coach and director of player personnel at Tech.
Prior to becoming head coach at Temple, Collins was one of the nation's most respected defensive coordinators, serving in the role at Florida, Mississippi State, FIU and his alma mater, Western Carolina. He is the only coach to ever be nominated for the Broyles Award, given to college football's top assistant coach, at three different schools.
An innovative recruiter and social media maven, Collins is sought as a guest lecturer and featured speaker at MBA programs and business conferences. In his renown as a coach, strategist and evaluator, he has recruited and coached more than three dozen players that have gone on to play in the National Football League.
The entire Georgia Tech coaching staff of 2019 returns for 2020, providing the continuity needed to implement a new system and philosophy to maximize the talents of a roster being built to compete week-in, week-out in the tough ACC.
Returning Starters* — 9
*Georgia Tech does not officially recognize starters. The number of returning starters indicates the number of players who started a majority of Georgia Tech's games in 2019.
The Ramblin' Wreck switched from Paul Johnson's option system to Dave Patenaude's pro-style spread system in 2019 and, as expected, there were growing pains. But the hope is that there will be a considerable improvement with so many players back including the leading passer, rusher and receiver. Graham will likely get the first shot at being the primary starting quarterback, but faces still competition at the position. He finished the year with 1,164 yards and 12 touchdowns (tying the program freshman record). His efficiency should also improve as he matures in the system year two. Behind him on the list is redshirt freshman Jordan Yates (38 yards on 4 of 12 passing) and true freshmen Tucker Gleason and Jeff Sims. Gleason and Sims enrolled in January, the latter after flipping his commitment from Florida State. Yates and Graham have a healthy competition heading into the season, but Gleason and Sims could give them a run for their money as well.
As a freshman last year, wide receiver Ahmarean Brown recorded seven touchdown catches, tying Calvin Johnson's freshman record in 2004. He led the team with 396 receiving yards. Jalen Camp returns from injury, and the wide receiver room will be filled out by two others that saw extensive playing time last season — Malachi Carter and Adonicas Sanders — as well as Miami transfer Marquez Ezzard.
All-ACC third team running back Jordan Mason returns for his junior campaign. Mason led the team last year with 899 yards and seven touchdowns on the ground. Also back is sophomore Jamious Griffin, who saw action in nine games as a true freshman last season. Signee Jahmyr Gibbs will also look to make an impact this season. The Yellow Jackets lost tight end Tyler Davis to the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 2020 NFL Sraft, but return sophomores Dylan Deveney (48 yards receiving on six catches) and Dylan Leonard.
Wideout Jalen Camp returns as a fifth-year senior after missing the final eight games of last season due to injury.
Along the line, the Yellow Jackets lost tackle Jared Southers, but returns center Kenny Cooper from injury.
Offensive guard Jack DeFoor earned honorable mention All-ACC recognition last year, and will be back along with Zach Quinney to man the trenches. Graduate transfer Ryan Johnson (Tennessee) will help along the line. Moving from the defensive side of the field is Bruce Jordan-Swilling, who is going from tackling running backs as a linebacker to being one.
David Curry collected 97 tackles last fall, which ranked 10th in the ACC.
Returning Starters* — 10
The 2019 adoption of Geoff Collins' effort-based 4-2-5 system produced good results in the passing game, as they ranked 36th in passing yards allowed. In 2020 they'll aim to keep that downfield focus while improving against the run. Tech also recorded 61 tackles for a loss last year (an average of 5.08 per game), the team's most since 2014. The Yellow Jackets return more than 90 percent of their tackles, tackles for a loss and sacks and every one of their takeaways for 2020. Back this season are defensive ends Antwan Owens (21 tackles, one INT), Chico Bennett (17 tackles), Sylvian Yondjouen (14 tackles), Curtis Ryans (nine tackles), Justice Dingle (six tackles) and Antonneous Clayton (able to play after transferring from Florida). The defensive tackle group returning includes T.K. Chimedza (34 tackles, 1.5 sacks, one fumble recovery), Djimon Brooks (27 tackles), Ja'Quon Griffin (14 tackles, 2,5 sacks), Chris Martin (8 tackles) and Jahaziel Lee (back from injury).
Linebacker David Curry picked up an honorable mention All-ACC nod last year. Curry led the team in tackles, with 97. He also had two sacks, an interception, three pass breakups, four passes defended, two quarterback hurries and two forced fumbles. He was one of just four players at a Power Five school, and one of 10 on FBS rosters, with at least 92 tackles and an interception and fumble recovery in 2019. He'll be a key leader on the defense in 2020 as a senior. Along with Curry at linebacker, Quez Jackson (49 tackles) and Demetrius Knight (18 tackles, one sack) return for the Yellow Jackets.
Moving to cornerback this year is former quarterback/wide receiver Tobias Oliver; running back Jerry Howard switches to linebacker. Charlie Thomas has returned to the secondary.
All-America candidate Pressley Harvin III headlines Georgia Tech's specialists
Pressley Harvin III returns for his fourth season as Georgia Tech's punter. He averaged 44.8 yards per punt last season, good for 17th nationally and fifth in school history. In his first three seasons as a Yellow Jacket, he has put together two of the top-10 single-season punting averages ever at Georgia Tech.
The only returning place-kicker left on the roster is redshirt sophomore Cliff Gandis, who does not have any game experience. Gandis was ranked as high as No. 3 nationally among place-kickers by prokicker.com when he was in high school and was the South Carolina Specialist of the Year in 2017.
Jerry Howard collected both punt blocks for Georgia Tech last season, which helped the Yellow Jackets rank tied for fifth nationally. Georgia Tech also ranked tied for 10th with three blocked kicks. The Yellow Jackets return their top punt and kick returners in Ahmarean Brown and Tobias Oliver, respectively.
Senior Pressley Harvin III is one of college football's top punters.

When you look at a painting by Lesley Harries-Jones, you are immediately intrigued, emotionally tugged, you want to enter its domain. At first, you may think that the dominant effect is the powerful use of colour. Ranging from strong and rich to soft and subtle, Harries-Jones' colours prod and poke at you, evoke a primary response, a life-giving passion. Then you start to see how the colours swirl and flow into spirals, eddies, labyrinths, crunched layers of the earth, texture you can feel. I'm sailing off on all this movement, you think. I'm caught in a mood, a mood of contrast, bright and dark, light and heavy, a prescient experience, a moment of life, a feeling of me and the earth. But then you go beyond - I'm understanding concept here, this painting is full of ideas, perspectives, inviting me to reflect. I want to keep looking, following its endless pathways. I'm ever so curious. This art is awakening the art I have in my own blood.

Q: Meaning of Angle Brackets? I'm reading an article on building point set surfaces (paper is here).  It contains...
Step 1 of the projection procedure is a non-linear optimization
problem. By setting $q = r + tn$ for some $t ∈ \Re$, equation (1) above [not shown] can be rewritten as:
$$\sum_{i=0}^n\langle{n,p_i-r-tn}\rangle^2\theta(\Vert{p_i-r-tn}\Vert)$$
I don't know what the angle brackets mean.  Can anyone help?

Pale girls have it tough, right?
Finding make-up to match our skin is super-frustrating, our faces are constantly blushing and summer is just one major minefield.
But don't worry! We know exactly how you feel.
20 minutes in the heat and we're the colour of a post box and our skin is bubbling with blisters. SO not worth it.
We might as well just spend the rest of the day in the car.
Sun cream (factor 50, natch), straw hats, oversized sunglasses, kaftans… we could go on.
Oops. Bye bye, white sheets.
At least we're pros at getting a streak-free finish.
We're not sure it counts if you can't tell where your skin stops and your top starts?
Also, anything yellow makes us look sick.
An orange face and white neck combo is NOT the look we were going for. Argh.
Well, it's only natural when they're being compared to something whiter than them.
Not in a cute Snow White way, either.
But hey, at least we've got Anne Hathaway as a beauty idol. What a babe.


The Bible ends in a similar vein as it began. Full Trinitarian Fellowship and the reunification of Heaven and Earth will be a reality. This time, instead of God being separate from His image bearers, His creation and all reality. Now, everything God made receives an invitation into a new Trinitarian belonging. Jesus as a creature, invites all creatures. Spiritual and physical to come to rest in full Trinitarian fellowship where we will rule and reign with Christ. Our lives here a prologue for what is to come, our stories will be written into eternity….

The 2015 Punta del Este ePrix (officially the 2015 FIA Formula E Julius Baer Punta del Este ePrix) was a Formula E motor race held on 19 December 2015 at the Punta del Este Street Circuit in Punta del Este, Uruguay. It was the second Punta del Este ePrix and the third championship race of the 2015–16 Formula E season, the second season of the single-seater, electrically powered racing car series. The race was won by Swiss driver Sébastien Buemi from team Renault .

Report

Background

For this year, the circuit was slightly modified. The first corner was changed, instead of a right-left chicane it is now left-right. The idea behind this change is to make the pit exit much safer than last year, where the cars were exiting the pits on the racing line.

Mahindra driver Nick Heidfeld missed the event, after undergoing surgery to repair ligament damage in his wrist after a crash at the previous race in Putrajaya. He was replaced by Formula Renault 3.5 champion Oliver Rowland, from Great Britain.

Team Trulli withdrew from the championship after failing to enter their new drivetrain for the first two events. Therefore, only 18 drivers participated in this race and also for the rest of the season.

Venturi driver Jacques Villeneuve crashed in qualifying. His team was unable to repair the damage in time for race day, and the Canadian was subsequently withdrawn.

Classifications

Qualifying

Notes:

  – Final grid position of top five qualifiers determined by Super Pole shootout.

The Difference Between Carl Jung's and Sigmund Freud's Views on Religion
Freud vs Jung! | Source
This article aims to outline and summarise the views of both Freud and Jung and highlight the differences in their views in a tabulated format at the end of the article.
Sigmund Freud (1856-1939)
Sigmund Freud was heavily against religion and called it a "collective neurosis" stating that it should be abolished from modern society.
He conceded that it did serve us in the past when we lived in 'primal hordes', primitive groups of humans that lived in tribes, but stated that we as a species have surpassed our need for irrational religious behaviour.
Similarities Between Carl Jung & Freud's Views
Both Carl Jung and Freud believed in the unconscious and its important role in our behaviour and in explaining the meaning of our dreams.
Freud and Jung both believed that religion was a positive thing for our society at some point in time, but Freud claimed that it was only beneficial up until the point where we evolved from our primal, basic societies.
Both Carl Jung and Freud based their theories of religion around the idea that we have different sections of our psyche and that we all have more primitive instincts (id) and also higher faculties (ego, superego).
They both believed that religion has been used to help people deal with certain issues.
Differences Between Jung and Freud's Views
Jung believed that religion was in fact very beneficial to society and should stay forever, unlike Freud who was completely against religion, calling religious behaviour a 'collective neurosis' and stating that it should be obsolete.
Jung believed that religion was a natural expression of the collective unconscious whilst Freud believed it was a collective neurosis.
Jung thought that religiousness was a way of aiding the process of individuation: the exploration of ourselves and the final acceptance of who we are.
Jung invented the idea of and believed in archetypes, mental facilities which 'create' images of certain things. He thought that we are born with an 'archetype' of God, an image which we are all predisposed to having. He provides evidence for this by referring to the fact that although there are thousands of religions in existence, they all share common core ideas: strong infallible figures, rules etc. This suggests that we are either born with, or quickly pick up from others, images or archetypes (note: this is both a noun and a verb) of these things.
Jung believed in God, saying "I don't believe, I know [that he exists]" whilst Freud thought that the belief in God is ludicrous.
Jung split up the psyche in a different way to Freud, stating that we have a masculine and a feminine side (anima) of the psyche. Freud believed in the id, ego, superego.
What was the relationship between Freud and Jung?
Jung first encountered Freud after sending him one of his works. The two psychologists hit it off and Freud and Jung enjoyed an intellectual friendship. Apparently, the first conversation that Freud and Jung had together lasted for a full thirteen hours!
Jung recalls his first encounter with Freud and states that he found him an "extremely intelligent, shrewd, and altogether remarkable." Freud looked at the younger Jung as an heir to his theories.
As Freud and Jung thought about their theories, Jung stemmed off from Freud, developing his own ideas about the psyche and the causes of our behaviours.
In the end of course, Jung's rejection of the views Freud had all his life lead to the break up of their friendship. Jung stated to Freud that "...your technique of treating your pupils like patients is a blunder. In that way you produce either slavish sons or impudent puppies... I am objective enough to see through your little trick" (McGuire, 1974).

Which Religions Practice Baptism? Which Do Not?

I like your comparison very much!!
Quite interesting!
No problem Borsia, I think that's a great idea, and I might even let you in on a little secret.
This hub was rushed through and through so that it could be used as a presentation, it had to be published to access it via the internet! That's why it's mostly bullet points :o
There is undoubtedly a lot more to say on this subject and a lot more I'll say!
I agree with Freud in that religion was useful at some point and then became obsolete, and I agree with some of his ideas like the use of totems and its parallel to Christianity. It's when he starts to make fallacious leaps of faith to his oedipal complexes and neurosis that I stop his support however.
["what a sour way to ruin an otherwise perfect weekend of play and exploration."]
Indeed! I think it's such a waste of precious time. Though I guess time becomes a lot less valuable when you believe in eternity.
[I would point out isolated groups that grew without any form of religion or any gods.]
Another big problem with Jung is atheists themselves. According to him, atheists should have some form of problems for not acting on the collective archetypes of God, and not seeking to fulfil these 'innate' infantile needs that God aids so much.
Since atheists are not only very healthy-minded but also tend to be more useful to society, Jung has very little to suggest what he does!

Might I suggest that you add a section on Jung's belief as you did for Freud. Without stating the basic concept of Jung comparing them is difficult as we go through the similarities and differences.
When you refer to Jung you use both first and last names whereas Sigmund is left out of Freud. I would suggest using only the last name of both men.
Please don't take offense to my mentioning such trivia I've been busying myself editing some of my own work and am perhaps a touch overzealous,,, lol;-)
Other than these possible oversight I like your hub.
Personally I'm with Freud on the subject, I see religion as far more bad than good. I completely disagree that we are somehow born with a god image in our minds. I certainly never had one prior to seeing such in religious preaching. When my childhood friends told me about their time in Church every weekend my only response was "why?". I thought "what a sour way to ruin an otherwise perfect weekend of play and exploration."
I would point out isolated groups that grew without any form of religion or any gods. I've always seen gods more as scapegoats and crutches rather than idols or deities.
I've always seen religions as men seeking to control other men rather than serving any real service.

Q: Adding setInterval inside a method Javascript I have this code that I can get to out numbers 0 - 9:
var countup = {
    i: 0,
    startCount: function () {
        for(i = 0; i < 10; i++){
            console.log(i);
        }
    }
}

countup.startCount();

now I need to be able to get it to output the numbers at 1 second intervals, I have tried this code below that is just giving me an undefined output:
var countup = {
    i: 0,
    startCount: function () {
        setInterval(function() {
            for(i = 0; i < 10; i++){
                console.log(i);
            }
        }, 1000)
    }
}
countup.startCount();

Does anyone have have any ideas how I can edit the code above to give the desired output of numbers 0 - 9 at one second intervals?
Thanks!

A:
See the second and third snippets for better answers.

You can do it like this, using setInterval and clearInterval when the count reaches 10. Also, to access the variable i in your countup object, you can do it with this.i:

const countup = {
    i: 0,
    startCount: function() {
        const timer = setInterval(() => {
            console.log(this.i);
            if (++this.i === 10) {
                clearInterval(timer);
            }
         }, 1000);
    }
}

countup.startCount();

As mentionned by @Hit-or-miss, this should not be used in a static object.
Here is a better way to do it using the prototype.
This allows you to have multiple counters that don't share their internal count.

function Countup() {
  this.i = 0;
}

Countup.prototype = {
    constructor: Countup, // Good practice

    startCount: function() {
        const timer = setInterval(() => {
            console.log(this.i);
            if (++this.i === 10) {
                clearInterval(timer);
            }
        }, 1000);
    }
};

const counter1 = new Countup();
const counter2 = new Countup();

counter1.startCount();
counter2.startCount();

Or, using JavaScript classes:

The arrow functions and classes are supported only in modern browsers.

class Countup {
    constructor() {
        this.i = 0;
    }

    startCount() {
        const timer = setInterval(() => {
            console.log(this.i);
            if (++this.i === 10) {
                clearInterval(timer);
            }
        }, 1000);
    }
};

const counter1 = new Countup();
const counter2 = new Countup();

counter1.startCount();
counter2.startCount();

A: use let for declaring i and use setTimeout since you have to call  console.log counter only ten times not forever..

var countup = {
  startCount: function () {
    for(let i = 0; i < 10; i++){
       setTimeout(function() {
         console.log(i);
       }, i*1000)
     }
   }
}
countup.startCount();

How do I use the Cost Structure building block of the Business Model Canvas?
← Using our Tools, Canvases & Methods

Your Cost Structure describes all costs incurred to operate your business model.

Which Key Activities are most expensive?
More about Cost Structure
About Cost Structure
This building block describes the most important costs incurred while operating under a particular business model. Creating and delivering value, maintaining Customer Relationships, and generating revenue all incur costs. Such costs can be calculated relatively easily after defining Key Resources, Key Activities, and Key Partnerships. Some business models, though, are more cost-driven than others. So-called "no frills" airlines, for instance, have built business models entirely around low-Cost Structures.
Types of Cost Structure
Naturally enough, costs should be minimized in every business model. But low Cost Structures are more important to some business models than to others. Therefore it can be useful to distinguish between two broad classes of business model Cost Structures: cost-driven and value-driven (many business models fall in between these two extremes):
Cost-driven
Cost-driven business models focus on minimizing costs wherever possible. This approach aims at creating and maintaining the leanest possible Cost Structure, using low price Value Propositions, maximum automation, and extensive outsourcing. No frills airlines, such as Southwest, easyJet, and Ryanair typify cost-driven business models.
Value-driven
Some companies are less concerned with the cost implications of a particular business model design, and instead focus on value creation. Premium Value Propositions and a high degree of personalized service usually characterize value-driven business models. Luxury hotels, with their lavish facilities and exclusive services, fall into this category.
Cost Structure Attributes
A Cost Structures can have the following attributes:
Economies of scale
Cost advantages that a business enjoys as its output expands. Larger companies, for instance, benefit from lower bulk purchase rates. This and other factors cause average cost per unit to fall as output rises.
Economies of scope
Cost advantages that a business enjoys due to a larger scope of operations. In a large enterprise, for example, the same marketing activities or Distribution Channels may support multiple products.
Fixed cost
Costs that remain the same despite the volume of goods or services produced. Examples include salaries, rents, and physical manufacturing facilities. Some businesses, such as manufacturing companies, are characterized by a high proportion of fixed costs.
Variable cost
Costs that vary proportionally with the volume of goods or services produced. Some businesses, such as music festivals, are characterized by a high proportion of variable costs.

Q: mscorlib produces weird assembly references on some machines I have run into a weird problem which I am unable to find the root cause. As I understand mscorlib does not reference other assemblies. However, when I run below code
Type t = typeof(System.AssemblyLoadEventArgs);
AssemblyName[] references = t.Assembly.GetReferencedAssemblies();
It produces two references. So mscorlib 4.0.0.0 is referencing mscorlib 2.0.0.0 and powerleech.dll. I don't even know what powerleech.dll is and where it comes from.
This output is on some machines only, on others I get 0 references as I expect. All machines are windows 7. Above is sample code which illustrates the problem faced by a bigger application, I have omitted other details. Any idea what could be causing above behavior.

Seems to be more or less in working order.

#### Overview

Sometimes you just want students to type in a paragraph so you can log it for later. For instance, you might be collecting free-response answers to create a better multiple-choice question later. This problem type just collects a response, logs it, and marks the student correct if the answer is at least 10 characters.

#### Creating Your Own Text-Logging Problems

Here's how to adapt this example to create your own guessing problems.

1. Grab python_lib.zip from the [HX-PY](https://github.com/Colin-Fredericks/hx-py) repo, and upload it (still compressed) into your Files & Uploads.
2. Download jschannel.js, textlog.html and textlog.js, and put them in your Files & Uploads.
3. Download textlog_with_pythonlib.xml, edit the prompt as desired, and paste that into a Blank Advanced Problem.
4. Profit!

##### Using Multiple Text-Logging Problems

You can create multiple text logging problems on the same page. Since they're each individually iframed into the page, they won't interfere with each other much.

#### Files:

Inside you will find many pieces used to create this problem:

- `jschannel.js`: the javascript file that allows javascript-type problems to work at all. You should not need to change this. I didn't make this one.
- `textlog.js`: the javascript file that does the majority of the work. You should not need to change this.
- `textlog.html`: the HTML file that will be iframed into the page. You should not need to change this.
- `textlog.xml`: the XML used to create the problem within Studio. You will need to make changes to this, but you only need to replace the prompt with your own.


I received the approval to post the floor plan a couple of weeks ago, but realised I hadn't posted it here yet - so here it is for all who are interested!
* Top of the page is north.
* The block is fairly narrow - long sides on the east and west. The width of the house is not much less than the width of the block.
* Views are to the west and south-west.
* Block slopes slightly towards the west. Both east and west neighbours are vacant blocks, eastern side is higher up than us (hence no windows), western side is lower down than us.
* First floor is 2.7m ceilings, ground floor is 2.4m.
* All marked windows are generally floor to ceiling windows.
* The scale may be out of wack, as a guide, the width of the pantry is approx 1m.
Note the "multi-purpose room" is not as originally planned, but we are working on how to spread those 'functions' into the other parts of the house - because everything else is 99% perfect!
We have still found a lot of little things that we could change, but before I list them I'd be interested to see what jumps out to everyone else.. always nice to have fresh opinions!
No opinions as I'm not too observant in the morning, except to say that I just love it and can't wait to see it!! The layout looks like it would suit you guys to a tee.
Looks great... I may be a complete nutter and have just missed it but... where's the laundry?
Bottom floor :) It's only small, sliding door type thing, looks like a robe!


These Farm Heroes level 663 cheats and tips will help you beat level 663 of Farm Heroes. The objective of Farm Heroes level 663 is to collect four clams, two sheep, two fireflies, and 40 water drops in 20 moves.
Sheep are always a huge pain to herd, and this level is no different. Make as many matches above the sheep as you can to herd them up the board.
In your haste, though, make sure you're not forcing the sheep into corners. If you put the sheep in corners, it will be very hard to get them out again.
There are only two fireflies in this level, and they're right next to each other. You may be able to light them both by making horizontal matches next to them both.
If you're not this lucky, though, just light one and then use shovels to light the other. This will allow you to easily complete one objective and concentrate on the other, harder ones.
Clams are almost as difficult to collect as sheep! You'll need to collect them as soon as they open, or they'll just snap shut again and you'll have to start over.
Since you only have a handful of moves, you don't want to start over too much. Keep an eye on all four clams and see if any open during a cascade. Target those clams next turn with a normal match or a shove.


Since March 2009 the United Nations Country Team (UNCT) has made support to Palestinian state-building a fundamental goal of its work in the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt). This commitment has been given new momentum and focus though the array of PA documents focused on state-building, and most recently the Palestinian Authority's Programme of the 13th Government: Ending the Occupation, Establishing the State. The UN's support to these efforts includes programming that is directly implemented by/through the UN, the provision of technical assistance to the PA and perhaps most importantly the development of those Palestinian capacities that further strengthen the foundation of a future Palestinian state.
Under the leadership of the UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator, this strategic package of UN Strategic Capacity Development programming1 was developed through the six MTRP Strategic Area groups (SAGs)2 which considered individual agency submissions, ensured alignment of each with Palestinian plan(s) and attempted to foster synergies between the different programmes proposed by each agency. The total budget for the submitted programming proposals is US$ 30.7 million (Table 1).
Donors are encouraged to either fund the initiatives identified bilaterally with the particular UN agency or through the recently established joint PA/UN Trust fund (oPt Trust fund). This fund consists of two windows, one for Gaza and one for West Bank under a common governance structure. The fund will enable both reconstruction of the Gaza strip as well as support to Palestinian state building priorities throughout the oPt.


Description: Select a gorgeous purple color for the eye lids and a blue mascara for long sassy lashes. Another great idea is to apply a pink blush on the cheeks and for that you can use a fluffy brush. In Eliza's Secret Wardrobe you can choose the cutest shade of deep red lipstick for her lips. The last and greatest step is checking Eliza's closet and picking a great colorful dress for the princess. You can choose a nice pink and purple dress and a very nice necklace.

Home HUMAN DNA USED FOR HACKING – THE DAWN OF NEW ERA IN CYBERSECURITY?
HUMAN DNA USED FOR HACKING – THE DAWN OF NEW ERA IN CYBERSECURITY?
the future of cyber-attacks, a weird and frankly, pretty scary way has recently come to light- and it's using DNA! Yes, you read that right.
First question, why would anyone want to hack DNA? Well for starters, if you have been watching any of the popular crime and forensics TV series or reading crime novels you might have insight into where DNA hacking could be of use; like, tampering with blood, hair or saliva samples and injecting them with malware to alter the DNA sequences which might make it difficult to catch the suspect.
And while that sounds like something from the realm of science fiction, researchers from the University of Washington, for the first time were able to figure out that code could be injected into DNA strands that when run through a gene sequencer- just a machine used to analyze DNA- execute a program that could alter or corrupt the sequencing software and take control of the underlying computer.
Getting a bit technical, it appears researchers used the DNA's four chemical bases called adenine, cytosine, guanine and thymine – A, C, G and T – to encode their malware which was then read by a DNA sequencing device which converted the molecular code into a computer code capable of taking over the computer connected to the DNA sequencer by exploiting it.
According to the research paper released by the University of Washington, the diagram at the start of this blog explains their technique. This attempt uses an obscure feature of bash which exposes virtual /dev/tcp devices that create TCP/IP connections. That feature was used to redirect stdin and stdout of /bin/sh to a TCP/IP socket, which connects back to their server. They combined this tactic with a return-to-libc attack that calls system(), resulting in a 43-byte exploit. They used a short, fully qualified domain name that they controlled as well as a single digit port number to keep exploit length as short as possible.
The sample was then sequenced on all four lanes, that is physically separate portions, of the flow cell. After demultiplexing by indices, there were four separate FASTQ files, one for each lane, together containing 811,118 reads. They processed the four FASTQ files separately and filtered out low-quality reads that did not identify one or more bases; these bases appear as Ns (representing an unknown base) in the FASTQ file. They provided the filtered FASTQ file from the first lane to their modified fqzcomp program, which immediately called back to their server, giving them arbitrary remote code execution via a bash shell.
While all this is no doubt highly impressively and quite frankly, a bit sensational, we don't have panic…yet. This hack was successful only because of the weakness in the DNA sequencing software and this very specific case. The researchers claim that they do not have any evidence of DNA sequencing or data that is currently under attack.
However, this attempt proves that we may consider DNA sequencing attacks as a possible threat in the future of cybersecurity. Especially when back in 2016, scientists found a way to store/retrieve digital images in DNA! – More on that in later posts.
SOMETIMES DOING THE SIMPLE THINGS IS JUST…RIGHT?

A new diminutive species of the diadramous goby genus Sicydium is described fram 346 specimens collected between 10 and 800 m elevation in Costa Rica. The new form is almost always syntopic with its cogener, S. altum. The new species is compared to other Costa Rican species (S. altum, S. salvini and S. cocoensis) with special emphasis on details of the premaxillary dentition, which is shown to be of primary importance in understanding the relationships of Sicydium species. Specimens of Sicydium sp. (Honduras), S. hildebrandi (Colombia) and S. plumieri (Puerto Rico) were al so examined. On the basis of the study material, two distinct lineages of Sícydium which differ sharply in tooth structure and mode of replacement appear to exist.

A couple of weeks ago I put up an article on Saturn transiting the Second House of the Sibly U.S. chart. That got me thinking about Pluto, which is in the same sector. Pluto first entered the U.S. Second House in Dec. 2012 (using the Koch house system). This is a little late to connect it to the economic crash of 2008, but Pluto's entry into Capricorn was right on time. Pluto first crossed into that sign in Jan. 2008. Then it went retrograde and back into Sagittarius. It turn direct in Sept. 9, 2008 (just as Lehman's Brothers' last attempt to right itself failed) and reentered Capricorn in December.
The first aspect transiting Pluto made to the Sibly chart was an opposition to Venus and Jupiter which are conjunct in Cancer. Since these two planets are so close together, Pluto was within a degree of aspecting one or the other for a period of almost two years, starting in Feb. 2009. Something else started in Feb. 2009. The Tea Party Movement came into being and over the next two years it became a potent political force.
The Tea Party had many components, but it was essentially a reaction by older white people to the fact that we had a black president. Bill Clinton was accused of many things during his presidency (and he was guilty of few,) but he was never called a socialist, or accused of being born in a foreign country or of plotting to take away peoples' guns and impose Sharia law. The Republican Party was so successful at fueling and harnessing the anger of the Tea Party that people forgot that it was their party that had first advocated the corporate bailouts that had originally sparked the Tea Party's ire.
After Pluto moved beyond the U.S. Venus and Jupiter, the next stop was an opposition to the U.S. Sun (and square to the U.S. Saturn.) This aspect became exact for the first time in Jan. 2015. This is when Republicans gained a majority in the Senate (after winning elections in Nov.) Since they already had control of the House, the G.O.P. was now able to stymy every initiative put forth by President Obama, including his nomination of Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court.
Pluto opposed the U.S. Sun twice more in 2015, in July and November. In June 2015 Donald Trump surprised many by announcing that he was running for president in 2016. At first his candidacy was considered a joke, however by November he had established himself as a major force within the Republican Party and other candidates in the Republican primary, along with several moderate Republicans, began to get nervous.
The pattern that seems to be evolving out of these Pluto aspects is a movement to right in U.S. politics. This is necessarily a problem, despite the consternation it has caused those on the left. The problem is the fact that the symbolism of Pluto does not readily lend itself to democracy. Pluto is all about power and going to extremes. When it comes to politics Pluto generally represents fascism and totalitarian governments. This has me wondering about what may be in store for this country in 2020, when Pluto opposes the Sibly Mercury, and then in 2022 when it reaches it natal place in the U.S. chart. Will the same pattern play out to its ultimate end, or will Pluto swing around to take us to the opposite extreme? Astrology answers a lot of questions, but it's the ones it asks that are often the scariest.
