Бораты — минералы, соли ортоборной кислоты Н3ВО3 и гипотетических полиборных кислот Н2В4О7 и Н3В5О9 и др. Известно 85 природных боратов, систематизированных по строению борнокислых полиионов и отношению RO:B2O3 в группе гидроокислов бора, ортоборатов, пироборатов, борацитов, гидроксилборатов, фтороборатов, фосфоборатов, арсеноборатов, сульфоборатов, боратов сложного состава.

Строение
Анион [ВО3]3− имеет вид плоского треугольника сравнительно малых размеров. Это благоприятсятвует образованию прочных кристаллических решёток с малыми катионами трехвалентных металлов Fe3+, Al3+, Mn3+ в сочетании с малыми двухвалентными катионами Mg2+, Fe2+, Mn2+. Для полиборатов весьма характерны Mg2+ и более крупные Ca2+, Na1+.

Свойства
Удельный вес в безводных боратах 2,6-3,4 (редко больше), богатых водой меньше 2. Твердость безводных 5-6, водных 2-4. Цвет: бесцветные, белые, серые, реже жёлтые, окрашенные в другие цвета. У безводных боратов показатель преломления света Nm — 1,65, у водных Nm — 1,470-1,570.

Происхождение (генезис)
Бораты слагают месторождения ряда генетических типов, главные из которых контактово-метасоматические, вулканогенно-осадочные и галогенные. В галогенных горных породах бораты образовывались на разных стадиях пегнитогенного процесса и встречаются в доломитах, в доломит-ангидритовых породах, в каменной соли и калийных солях.
В соляных горных породах наиболее распространены магниевые бораты, которые замещаются преимущественно кальциевыми (инионитом, колеманитом, пандермитом), кальциево-магниевыми (гидроборацитом) и кальциево-натриевыми боратами (улекситом), а также ашаритом. В галогенных горных породах нередко встречаются не только бораты, но и боросиликаты (данбурит, реже: сирзелит, ховлит). В контактово-метасоматических месторождениях доминируют людвигит, ашарит, реже суанит, котоит. Вулканогенно-осадочные месторождения характеризуются в одних случаях крупными скоплениями буры, иногда с примесью гернита, в других — колеманита, изредка пандермита при меньшей роли роли улексита, иниоита.

Месторождения
Индерское месторождение в Казахстане, по имени которого назван индерборит — один из минералов класса боратов.

How ESG Factors into Institutional Investing Decisions: Survey Podcast: John Chambers, Connecting the Dots
Business Lessons from the Rise of Smartphone Cameras
by Working Capital Review on October 16, 2018 in Innovation
Does your smartphone need three cameras? Makers of phones and their cameras believe so and they believe you're willing to pay a premium for the opportunity. As reported by The Singapore Women's Weekly, smartphones and their cameras can be extremely helpful for you, especially when you're on vacation, but does this really justify the overkill when it comes to cameras?
That's the latest technology news conjecture about LG's V40, which would feature three back cameras and two front cameras. What all these cameras will do is unclear, but the growth of cameras on new smartphone models is considerable.
What's behind the rise of the smartphone camera?
Technological innovation is one key driver. Artificial intelligence and machine learning have enhanced the capabilities of smartphone cameras. Today, these tools can optimize settings based on shooting conditions, whether it's available light, orientation, or portrait subject. Modes and settings not previously available can create panoramas, night shots, and other finished products that earlier smartphone cameras could not achieve.
The LG V40 camera configuration is still not fully known. However, two of three back cameras are likely to be devoted to standard and LG's ultrawide lens. The third may feature zoom, bokeh or other features.
One of the front cameras may allow for 3D mapping of the user's face, allowing facial recognition to unlock your device.
Three back cameras is not new, as the Huawei P20 Pro, launched in spring 2018, also features such a configuration. The Huawei phone was designed in partnership with noted German camera maker Leica. It's being pitched as a cheaper alternative for photographers than a high-end camera dedicated to the available features.
Just how in use are smartphone cameras?
According to InfoTrends, in 2017, there were more than 1.2 trillion digital photos taken. That nearly doubles the 660 billion digital photos taken in 2013. Growth has been consistently steady each year since.
The vast majority of the 2017 photos – 85 percent – were taken with a smartphone, with digital cameras accounting for 10.3 percent and tablets for 4.7 percent.
The multi-lens smartphone camera dates to 2011. The iPhone 7 Plus pioneered the inclusion of a 28 mm wide-angle lens and a 56 mm portrait lens with zoom functionality. Many phone makers followed suit, and the dual-lens rear cameras are now relatively commonplace.
Smartphone photos are a routine part of life today, with photos taken via front- and back-facing cameras.
A Marketing Shift
The smartphone camera evolution has reshaped how cameras and phones are marketed. The camera is no longer a nice-to-have accessory. Instead, marketers' business strategy is focusing on the importance of the selfie, Instagram, and cloud-based photo sharing platforms as an essential part of our lives today.
Ad campaigns are increasingly centered on sharing photos of consumers interacting with brands via selfies and image recognition apps.
Information consumers capture is highly valuable to brands eager to gather more data on how consumers are using their products. New and better ways to use camera technology to understand consumer behavior has a high value to brand marketers.
There's much more on the horizon, too. As augmented reality becomes more affordable and available, cameras will be increasingly used to create these experiences for users. Pokémon GO showed how much people want to use their phones to interact with apps and engage in their recreational activities. Customized lenses and filters will likely continue to be popular.
Innovation will continue to drive more and better cameras on all of our devices. As marketers identify ways to influence how we use these devices, the growth of smartphone camera activity is likely to grow, too.

Marketing can be a mysterious thing for musicians, but the secret to it is simple: nearly every professional marketing message follows the same formula. And it's one you can use for your own music to help boost your marketing efforts.
1. Choose an Action That You Want Them To Take.
Marketing messages always have an intent of influencing people to take an action. Getting them to do what you want them to do is at the heart of marketing. So you need to be clear about the action you want them to take as you're putting together the message. For example, you might want your fans to to buy an album, come to a show, or sign up to your mailing list. Decide what you want them to do before following the next steps of the AIDA sequence.
Try starting your marketing messages with the words that your target audience uses to identify themselves. Are they Metalheads? Ravers? Wrestling fans? Their eyes will snag on any message that includes words that are part of their identity. This works well with social media. Of course, the most direct self-identifier is a person's own name, but you can only do that in mass mailings and newsletters.
Words aren't the only thing that grab people's attention. Use all of the dimensions of a visual message to get noticed.
Find ways to make the actual content of the message stand out compared to other messages that the audience usually sees. For example, try placing messages at sites and areas where that kind of communication is not normally found. To get some ideas on how to do this, check out the "Standing Out" strategy in our Electronic Musician feature: Nine $0 Music Marketing Strategies.
The more the message is aimed at the person reading it, the better chance you have of holding their interest. Choose the smallest, most niche audience for each marketing message. For ideas, check out the "Conquer a Niche" strategy of the Nine $0 Music Marketing Strategies feature and use the techniques in our article Target Your Fan Market.
Asking questions causes the person reading the message to try to answer it. This keeps them engaged and interested.
A tease compels people to want to read on to find out more. For example, blog entries with titles like "5 Ways To Improve Every Marketing Message You Send" causes readers to want to find out what those 5 ways are and satisfy their curiosity.
4. Get Them to Make A Decision.
The decision needs to be simple, otherwise, if they have to think about it, you'll confuse and lose them. For example, a straightforward decision is to: click a link, enter their email, or buy your song. Also, the decision should be for just one action. If you give them options, it increases the chances that they will get confused, and will ignore it. Don't make them think!
People are afraid of commitment. Because of this, most every web-based service starts with a free trial where they ask for your credit card where you can cancel within the trial period. Use this technique and try to find ways to tell them that they can always change their mind. For example, tell them they can always unsubscribe from your email list if they want to. With music, encourage them to listen to a sample at a music store and then make sure the store includes an easy-to-click buy button to capture that impulse buy.
Limited time, limited quantity, or limited opportunities make the decision far more likely. Also, try to give the message a value. For example, adding a link where they can get a discount for "only a limited time" means that the message also might be more attention-grabbing and interesting and they lose something if they ignore it. This also helps all the other AIDA parts of your marketing message.
If you try to get someone to buy something and they are on their mobile devices where they are in a bad position to whip out their credit card, your marketing message won't be effective. There's too much friction that prevents the purchase. For example, a physical poster is not a great place to put a link because there's another step of taking out phones or devices and typing it in. You should generally assume that every message online is being seen on a mobile device.
Don't assume that your audience knows how to do what's necessary. The action message needs to direct them: "Click this link." "Buy this song." "Pledge on Kickstarter." Be clear with your instructions.
Don't bury the action step under a lot of text or extraneous information. While the other parts of AIDA require text, if you don't highlight the action, they might miss what they need to do. This is where visual elements come in to help it stand out. For example, graphics artists may use advancing colors underneath buttons to attract people's eyes to the buttons that they need to push.
One way to improve at your marketing is to be aware of the marketing aimed at you. Now that you're aware of this, notice the components of AIDA in the marketing messages you see. Determine what messages work on you and why. Then borrow these and apply them to your own messages.
Challenge: Create a marketing message using the AIDA technique to get people to buy a music track or sign up on your email list.


Human Growth Hormone Injections: Are They Safe?
There is a widespread skepticism among the general public about the use of Human Growth Hormones (HGH) to stimulate muscle growth.
Health experts themselves have different takes on the safety of these stimulants. Yet, biologists and scientists maintain that HGH intakes are safe, provided they are used under proper medical supervision.
Ever since their inception, they have been subjected to huge speculation and cynicism, with the US government banning it for general commercial use. Individuals with special requirements had to obtain them from other countries with prior permission. Research data and statistics, fortunately, have helped ease down all the prejudice towards their injection. Initially intended to treat premature infants and children with a hormonal deficiency, HGH are now conceived for a much wider medical domain. Today, hospitals use them for weight loss, leaner mass, and what's more, they are even being considered for reversal of the ageing process.
When it comes to non-medical consumption, their primary use is by athletes who want an immediate surge in muscle power and energy. This has led to some unnecessary abuse of the hormone therapy – athletes use them as a substitute to steroids. Being non-detectable in urine-tests is all the more reason. This simply creates misconceptions among the public, and is totally uncalled for. While proper dosage can bring about numerous positive benefits, an overdose is certainly detrimental to overall health, and should be avoided. Inappropriate dosage increases susceptibility to cancer and liver-damage, and in certain cases pain in the joints and breast-enlargement. However, they are safe to consume within the prescribed dosage.
Administration of HGH is not very tedious: while generally done at the doctor's. it can also be self administered, obviously with proper training. The HGH that comes in powder form is first mixed with water thoroughly, and it is administered almost immediately, since the mixture may lose its potency and stability in a short while. While not in use, the powder is stored in a cool, dry place before reconstitution.
HGH injections, having borne the brunt of criticism, are much safer and versatile today, with the approval of a number of research organizations and laboratories like the FDA. Nevertheless, one must identify his/her specific objective as regards height, and it is advisable to research on some of the alternatives before actually going for a specific supplement.
Do not get carried away by cheap injections/additives that brag of quick results. Unless you are really certain of what you're doing, consulting your physician is highly recommended. Another important point is to take up natural height- increase measures like exercise and balanced diets while on your dosage period. This helps in natural hormonal stimulation and yields better results, besides inculcating healthy habits fostering an active lifestyle.

Q: How to get the average of only positive numbers in a numpy array? We were given two text files that contain numbers and we need to load them using numpy.loadtxt and then find the mean of only the positive numbers within the text files.
This is what I've tried so far:
A = np.loadtxt('A.txt')
B = np.loadtxt('B.txt')
A_mean = np.mean(np.where(A>0))
B_mean = np.mean(np.where(B>0))
print(f'A={A_mean}')
print(f'B={B_mean}')

I know this is obviously wrong since it appears to be returning the average of the index numbers, not the values. How can I get the average of the actual values?

A: np.where(A > 0) returns the indices where A > 0 as you noticed. To get the elements of A, use the indices: np.mean(A[np.where(A > 0)]).
But wait, A > 0 is a boolean array that has True in every element that meets the condition and False elsewhere. Such an array is called a "mask", and can be used for indexing as well:
A[A > 0].mean()


With streetwear influencing the upper echelons of luxury fashion, expect to see brands across all categories developing their own sneaker silhouettes. But did you know that conventional sneakers can take up to 1000 years to decompose? By then, no one will even remember the ugly shoe trend 2018 let alone whether the stubbornly decomposing footwear was an exclusive collaboration or not. Enter AlgiKicks. Employing the knit upper approach pioneered by Nike for their Flyknits, AlgiKicks uses a seaweed-based textile and an alginate bioresin outsole to construct sneakers that can be fully composted.
Designed by Pratt graduate Aaron Nesser, AlgiKicks is the first product from AlgiKnit, a company co-founded by Nesser along with textile designer Tessa Callaghan and knitwear designer Aleksandra Gosiewski, working to develop kelp-based bioyarns as a sustainable material for the footwear and apparel industries. The winners of the 2016 Biodesign Challenge, the main component of AlgiKnit's bioyarn is alginate, a biopolymer derived from seaweed. They then add water and complementary biopolymers to form a paste that is then extruded into a filament that is salt cured until it is strong enough to be hand or machine knit. The yarn can be dyed using plant-based and bacteria-based dyes.
Through their materials research, the team came across an alginate-based bioresin that has enough elasticity to be an outsole while still being fully compostable. And this closed-loop vision for materials is the primary driver for AlgiKnit. Kelp, the basis of alginate, is one of the fastest growing organisms and "when farmed in coastal waters, it recovers nutrients from run-off," according to Nesser. And as we've reported in the past with Greenwave's regenerative model for 3D ocean farming, kelp can soak up 5x as much carbon as land-based plants and has the potential to stymie the effects of ocean acidification.
AlgiKnit represents a new model for materials innovation that creates an avenue of business opportunity for next generation (ocean) farmers while literally growing the products of the future.

The Way You Eat Reveals Volumes About Your Personality. Mine Was SPOT On!
Some of my family members eat quickly, while others eat slowly. Some put a bite of everything on their fork at the same time, while some don't let their food touch at all. It never dawned on me that our distinct eating habits can actually speak volumes about our personalities, just like with our driving habits.
And when I saw what my eating habits say about me, I was surprised by how spot on it was.
Entire studies have even been devoted to the subject by experts such as Juliet A. Boghossian, behavioral food expert and founder of Food-ology.
Your seeming lack of an inner clock may get on other people's nerves. But don't let this deter you from being yourself. Keep enjoying each moment; just be careful not to let life speed by you in the meantime.
However, rushing through things like meals implies that you don't take enough time for yourself. Make sure to create enough space in your life for your own needs. And be careful not to rush through the good times; you may just want to slow down a bit and enjoy them.
If you are The Organizer, you are the type of person who doesn't want any of your foods to touch each other.
Be careful that your list-making brain doesn't allow you to get too stressed out when things go off track. Learning to be flexible will only complement your already enviable tidy lifestyle.
You are a strong person, and you feel that you are capable of taking on a lot. At work, your bosses love that you are willing to take on so much responsibility. And as an outgoing and friendly person, you have healthy relationships where you aren't afraid to make time for all of the important people in your life.
You have a carefree spirit, and you don't overly worry about what other people think about you. You march to the beat of your own drum, which is a quality that many people admire about you. You aren't afraid to show the world who you are, and you aren't afraid to let people know exactly what you want.
Your straightforward and open approach may be off-putting to some people. And there might be certain situations where eating with your mouth closed will get you further. But don't let anyone talk you into changing; continue to march to that drum, even if you are the only one who hears it.
Be careful that your planning doesn't keep you from enjoying the present moment. Take time to enjoy where you are right now. Your future planning will pay off much more if you enjoy yourself every step of the way.
You are someone who thrives when you are in your comfort zone. You like that warm, fuzzy feeling of being around a loved one of many years. You prefer jobs and tasks that you know inside-out and backwards. But you are also an inquisitive person. You aren't afraid to ask questions, and you have a real thirst for knowledge.


Cat seems to have got everyone's tongue today…..
I don't have a lot to say, other than letting him live would be crueler than killing him. Except that they can't exile him — he knows too much already to allow him an opportunity to be taken by or willingly run to the slavers.

Q: Does losing Vega's claw matter? I was playing Ultra Street Fighter 2 on the Switch yesterday, and my friend knocked my claw off when I was Vega! I was KO'd shortly after, so I couldn't tell if it affected anything.
Does losing the claw have any effect on Vega's moves?

A: Yes, according to Vega's wiki page, Vega is less powerful without it.

It takes exactly fourteen blocked hits for Vega to lose his claw. This reduces his attack range (and sometimes power) significantly, and prevents him from using certain Super Combos. Since Super Street Fighter II Turbo, Vega is able to retrieve the claw; in Street Fighter Alpha 3, he can lose his mask as well, though the effect is only cosmetic there. In SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos, Vega cannot lose his claw. In the Street Fighter EX series, Vega may reinforce or recover his claw with a Super Combo.

I more or less stopped being a writer in 2020. Yes, there were demands on my time, particularly online teaching and the adjustments it necessitated; yes, there were occasional distractions in my personal life and other excuses. The reality, though, is that I crossed a line at some point at which fiction writing stopped being a stress reliever and became a source of stress.
I've written about this before. The main factor involved is that I have become a better and more professional writer through the last few years of polishing my craft, and the knowledge I've gained has become an enemy to productivity. At the outset, before I knew what I was doing, I could eagerly plunge headfirst into a story concept, driven by unrealistic expectations of what I might achieve at the end, and by unrealistic assumptions about the amount of work involved. I know better now. I am capable of creating a high-quality short story, yes; but doing so requires weeks of painstaking work and editing. This labor may well result in a story that I am not proud of. If I am proud of it, I will likely spend months accumulating dozens of publisher rejections before seeing it in print. Even after it makes the grade, it will be ignored by most reviewers and possibly actively scorned by those who do bother to write about it. All of this has put me in a position where story ideas have come to feel more like obligations than sources of joy. And, as I promised myself at the outset that I would never allow creative writing to become a chore, this means I take the plunge very seldom these days. I last finished a short story this summer; I have one in process at the moment but it's proceeding in spastic fits and does not have the look of quality about it.
That said, the thing about fiction writing is that there's a huge gap between the process of creation and eventual publication, so a lot of the material I produced during my salad days is still emerging into print for the first time. In addition to a pretty substantial number of reprints, I put four new pieces of fiction out into the world in 2020.
The first of these was arguably the weirdest thing I ever wrote, the gonzo grimstick weird western "The Professionals". The story, which reimagines modern professions as tabletop RPG character classes, appeared in the final issue of Broadswords and Blasters in January:
The Googlers came rolling up the road with rage in their eyes, fleece vests zipped tight and keyboards raised for combat, the wheels of their electric scooters bouncing over the cracked and rutted pavement. One of them hurled a slide rule, and Hektor brought his badge up just in time. The badge pulsed, and a blue disc of translucent force—the heritage of two hundred generations of cops—intercepted his assailant's weapon and jolted it aside. As the mounted tribesman went skittering past, Hektor brought his baton in beneath in a sweeping arc; it caught the Googler in the ribs with a sickening crunch, and he lurched aside just in time for Maxx's axe to cleave his skull in two. The firefighter yanked the axe free with a grunt, a patter of blood droplets cascading in an arc up across the chest of his yellow rubber coat and spattering the ruggedly handsome features of his half-shaven face. Beside him, Smoky, his Dalmatian, was tearing out the throat of a second adversary.
Two months later, my wayward son finally made it home. After 50 rejections and two full years on the shelf, the Space Amish tale "Prodigal" landed at Planet Scumm in March:
My faith was imperfect. But my memory was excellent. My eyes returned to my husband's panicked and palsied countenance. I returned the favor he had once paid, and read aloud.
"The quality of mercy is not strained," I intoned. "It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven upon the place beneath." I paused, rubbing at his feet. "On this world, husband, the rains come infrequently."
In April came one of the more substantial successes of my writing career, as Baen FA finalist "The Laughing Folk", with its insidious cabal of drug-addicted demihumans, made the grade at On Spec. The story wound up being one of the most widely-read pieces of work I ever produced, and was widely and favorably reviewed.:
The stage had been set. The old stories of unfathomable and sinister faerie folk had been cast aside, replaced with popular fiction that portrayed the humanoid races as stalwart allies against dark forces. From the moment they announced their presence, people rushed to embrace them: elves and dwarves, gnomes and pixies, sprites and sylphs and legendary creatures of all kinds. Or, for collective reference, the name they used to refer to themselves: The Laughing Folk.
Their propaganda had preceded them, setting men against one another in virulent factions. In retrospect, we should have recognized their advance agents. The disguises were weak, the glamours paper-thin. The political commentator, her books screaming "Treason!" at the party opposite--her long blonde hair, thin bony features, and icy demeanor all clearly characteristic of an elf. The Congressman, chirping endlessly about how gold would solve every economic problem—his wizened face and stooped posture unmistakably gnomish. The designer of tabletop roleplaying games, assigning noble motives and "good" alignments to non-human races, subtly encouraging young people to respect them--his squat form and long white beard notably dwarven.
Also in April, JJ Outre Review found room for "Shift", an alternate history of the Apollo program with a lycanthropic twist:
The tiny vermin of this planet's material plane came in endless, swarming multitudes, burying themselves in Ark-arr's pelt, biting and sucking, sampling her rich, foreign blood. Scratching did little good. Shifting did better. When the itching and the irritation grew too much, Ark-arr flexed her mind, and changed, the blue skies and odd wildlife fading, replaced with a stark, sandy waste under a black sun. Ark-arr's biology Shifted with her, her blood and breath adjusting automatically to the new atmosphere and environment. The alien parasites, she had discovered almost immediately, could not Shift. It seemed that all this world's creatures were confined to the material. They had never known the darkside, the mirror reality to which the packs of Luna were native, and which housed the shattered remains of the voidship in which Ark-arr had traveled here. So she stepped outside of these lands, as into a cleansing bath. And under the dancing light from her still-blazing vessel, she found herself purified.
And then came May, in which I actually published, of all things, a poem; "A New Arrival's Guide to the Bottomless Pit" made the cut at Red Planet.
Were you a careless tourist, leaning on wobby railing?
Did a villain push you? Were you are a villain yourself, pushed by a hero?
Were you overcurious? Adventurous? Merely clumsy?
It makes no difference, now that
is underway.
A new adventure!
How wise you were
to bring this guide along.
For all my unproductivity, there's still more in the queue. In January comes my Coleridge/Joe's Apartment mashup "Warlord" at Flash Fiction Online. This will be my third credit at pro rates, and offers me the opportunity to apply for full SFWA membership, which was the goal I set for myself when I started writing short-form fiction in 2016. I'll return once again to the Australian markets in February, when Aurealis publishes my soccer ghost story "The Redemption of Declan Callahan".
And after that...silence. I have a pretty lengthy fantasy piece which I consider to be one of the best two or three things I've ever written which is still wandering the wilderness, seeking a home. I'm engaged in the research and drafting phase on a piece for an upcoming Ramones-themed anthology; this is pretty much the opposite of "write what you know" for me, as I enjoy the band but have no idea how music works and am pretty much the exact diametric opposite of "punk rock" personality-wise.
So a fallow period looms. But the thing about this game is, you never really know when you're out of it. The Magic Brain Elves are ever looming, waiting to descend with glorious concepts that demand to be written. Perhaps someday soon they will pay me a visit. If they do, I'll let you know.

Oh y'all – let me go on and warn you – if you're dieting, skip this one.
This recipe would be great for the holidays, but you could definitely make it year-round. These are insanely good and so addictive. The best part is that this recipe is so easy!
Mix together the butter and marshmallows in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir, and keep microwaving in 15 second increments until everything is melted and stir-able.
While that's going, crumble the Oreos into a bowl (yes, the whole cookie…including the cream). I like these a little chunky…you could get them as fine as you'd like, but it really does add a lot to have some cookie chunks in there.
Once the marshmallow/butter is melted, pour over the cookies. Mix well. Once this mixture is well-blended and starting to cool, add in the chocolate chips. They might melt a little, but not all the way.
Spread this mixture in a greased Pyrex dish (I don't know the size – it's the one smaller than the 9×13″ one). Immediately decorate with the sprinkles and press in a little with a spoon.
Let this mixture cool for at least an hour. Cut into squares and enjoy!

How to do a wedding on a budget
In the first month of wedding planning, conversations tend to go like this:
"OMG! Let's have an afternoon tea for the guests with these vintage tea cups! Look honey!"
"Oooh! Look at this cake! It's Alice in Wonderland themed!"
"I love this dress! What do you think sis?"
A month later, and a little more research later, and conversations become something a little more like this:
"Sorry, how much to rent vintage tea cups?"
"£500? For a CAKE?"
"Wow. That much, for a dress I wear ONCE?"
Weddings are expensive. We all know that. But I don't think I realised quite how expensive. Essentially, pop the word 'wedding' in front of anything, and the price doubles. The average wedding costs £20k these days. I think £10k is doable if you keep numbers down though, and don't go overboard on the budget.
Here are five things I've learnt from wedding planning so far about keeping to your budget.
First up, set your budget. I'm using the iWedding app to enter my intended budget, and the actual costs. If you don't set a budget, it's easy to go "Oh, what's another £1,000"
Accept that, unless you have an unlimited budget, you don't HAVE to have everything. Also, say hello to perspective. Is it really worth getting into debt in order to have everything for one day?
Those little things you're spending a lot of time and money on? According to my sister, and another recently married friend, people won't notice them. They'll notice the things you spend little time on, or did at the last-minute. This is the law of weddings.
Go second-hand when you can. eBay, local auctions, recently married friends and family members and sites like Sell My Wedding are great for picking up bits and pieces. My Mother-In-Law-To-Be is an absolute whizz on eBay and at auctions, so often finds me some amazing things. Or look at hiring instead. Also, a lot of wedding shops do annual sales of last season dresses. A little dry cleaning and refitting means you could save hundreds.
Make compromises. We were looking at having a hog roast – but it's pricey. So we're going for a BBQ instead. Instead of a fancy buffet in the evening, we're going for two hot dishes that can be served with rice and fresh bread. Food is going to be one of your biggest costs, so this is one area to cut back on.
Sometimes, weddings can feel like a game of Keeping Up With The Jones. Like you have to outdo the last wedding you went to. The main thing is to think about what your guests really want. Would they prefer fancy, little meals, or something that fills them up and soaks up the booze? Would they prefer a fancy big band, or are they just as happy with a DJ playing cheesy tracks? Most people are happy just to catch up with family and friends and enjoy some drinks and dancing. If you're going to spend, splurge on your rings and a great photographer. The rings will last forever, and you'll look back on your photographs for years to come.

How my best friend and a festival saved my life
We were getting quoted £xxxs for a wedding car. We went to the cab company the venue used for transfers. We got all the bridal party there and pretty much the entire wedding party back to the hotel after for £350.
Another one – the venue suggested voulevents (sp?) after the ceremony. Very expensive and not very us. We had a popcorn cart and vendor. Much more fun, more us and £200 cheaper.
More food: hog roast for the evening was quite expensive, the finger buffet options even worse. We thought about what we would most during a night out. Cue bacon and egg butties. Best. Buffet. Ever!
Finally, we got a four tier cake from M&S. It wasn't the topsy turvy cake we wanted, but decorated with ribbon and our Super Mario/Princess Peach toppers bought off Etsy, we were quids in. Tasted great too!

THE DERIVATIVES SERVICE BUREAU OPENS ITS 2019 CONSULTATION
To encourage industry feedback and participation in setting the DSB's roadmap
The Derivatives Service Bureau (DSB), founded by the Association of National Numbering Agencies (ANNA) to facilitate the allocation and maintenance of International Securities Identification Numbers (ISINs), Classification of Financial Instrument codes (CFIs) and Financial Instrument Short Names (FISNs), for OTC derivatives, has today announced it has opened its 2019 consultation.
The consultation is seeking responses from both direct and indirect users of the DSB on a series of questions regarding the DSB's service and functionality. The consultation will take place in two parts with the purpose of the first consultation allowing the DSB to understand the items which are deemed most valuable for further evaluation in the second phase. The key themes this year will focus on soliciting industry feedback on aspects around operations such as data submission enhancements, services (e.g. data flow rationalisation), technical (e.g. infrastructure and workflows) and legal aspects including feedback from the fee survey and/or from the user agreement forum.
Serving over 420 institutions, the DSB launched its production service with 83 product definition templates available for use, expanded to 87 product definitions by year ending 2018, added a further 6 templates in Q1 2019 and has received Product Committee approval for the introduction of at least 3 additional instruments in Q3 2019. Such developments allow the DSB to remain aligned with product evolution in the OTC derivative markets – with expansion at direct user request.
Emma Kalliomaki, Managing Director of ANNA and the DSB, said, "It is critical we hear from our broad spectrum of users and as such we are asking as many organisations to get involved in the consultation process as possible – from both direct and indirect users. We would encourage everyone to make their voices heard and help frame the service provision for the coming year."
Malavika Solanki, a member of the DSB Management Team, said, "The growing use of the DSB for purposes other than MiFID II has allowed the DSB to work with industry and provide a golden source for OTC derivative ISINs, CFI codes and other attributes contained in the OTC ISIN record. User feedback – through the consultation, the committees and other forums – has resulted in the provision of a variety of enhancements in the past year. Industry feedback has played a vital role in setting the pace for what the DSB should focus on and in helping to shape the DSB agenda."

9 Health Conditions People Say Are "All In Your Head"
By Linda Melone, CSCS
Jamie Grill/Getty Images
The only thing worse than feeling lousy is being told that your symptoms are all in your mind. Joni Mitchell recently made the news when, after being found unconscious at home, stories circulated about her battle with Morgellons disease, a mysterious illness—which includes symptoms like the feeling of bugs crawling on you—that many researchers don't believe exists.
There are plenty more commonly known diseases and disorders that also present with symptoms that can lead doctors to mistakenly declare them psychosomatic or attribute them to a different illness altogether. And the harder an illness is to determine, the more likely you are to get that incredibly frustrating "all in your head" diagnosis. Read on for the 9 most common.
Widespread pain, sleep problems, fatigue, headache, tingling of the hands and feet, along with cognitive issues such as memory loss can all be symptoms of fibromyalgia, says Navid Farahmand, MD, a board-certified pain management physician with the Brain and Spine Institute of California in Newport Beach, CA. "There is no single spinal nerve, muscle, bone, or other definable source that can explain the variety of symptoms patients can experience," he says, which makes it tough to diagnose. Plus, since depression and/or anxiety may also accompany these vague symptoms, doctors sometimes conclude that it's all in your head. In addition to ruling out other diseases, confirming a diagnosis is determined by a widespread pain index, which rates and catalogs where you've been experiencing pain. (If you're dealing with fibromyalgia, these diet tweaks can help control symptoms.)
Caused by the bite of an infected tick, Lyme disease starts with vague symptoms including fever, headache and fatigue, along with a skin rash. Left untreated, the infection can spread to the joints, heart, and nervous system. "It's often hard to diagnose due to the ambiguous symptoms," says Sachin Jain, MD, chief medical officer of CareMore, a medical group in Cerritos, CA. "Most people who have Lyme see a doctor when symptoms worsen and they have joint pain or neurological issues like foggy brain or forgetfulness. By then the doctor may want to explore a whole host of causes, so the work up may take time as other conditions are dismissed." A proper diagnosis requires laboratory testing.

Also known as painful bladder syndrome, interstitial cystitis is a chronic condition characterized by bladder pressure and, sometimes, pelvic pain, which may range from mild to severe, along with a persistent, urgent need to urinate. It mimics a urinary tract infection (UTI) in some ways, yet your urine culture will contain no bacteria and the pain goes away after urinating. "Because the pelvic pain gets worse during your period, it's often misdiagnosed as menstrual cramps," says Sherry Thomas, MD, a urogynecologist in Agoura Hills, Calif. Diagnosis involves ruling out other issues, says Thomas. Treatment varies but usually includes medication, physical therapy to relieve the pelvic spasms, and avoiding triggers such as spicy foods.
This painful condition occurs when the lining that normally grows inside the uterus grows outside of it. It's tough to diagnose in its early stages because growth can't yet be seen, says Thomas. And symptoms may be simply perceived as bad menstrual cramps. "Endometriosis also produces severe pain with your periods," says Thomas, which may be mistaken for menstrual cramps. An accurate diagnosis can be made by an ultrasound to rule out a mass or anything else that may be causing the pain, and a urinalysis to rule out a UTI.

Lupus is an autoimmune disease that affects multiple organ systems. It can manifest by affecting your lungs, heart, kidneys, brain, skin, joints, blood cells, tear glands, salivary glands, and general health (feeling tired or having fevers) in various ways, says Delphine Lee, MD, director of translational immunology at the John Wayne Cancer Institute at Providence Saint John's Health Center in Santa Monica, CA. "Lupus can be confusing to diagnose because it requires a specific set of criteria to be met to make the diagnosis—it's not just one symptom, like how shortness of breath would indicate a lung problem, but the combination of symptoms that leads to the diagnosis."
In MS, the immune system attacks the myelin sheath, a protective covering around nerves, disrupting communication between the brain and body. The result can be a wide variety of signs and symptoms that don't lend themselves to a clear-cut diagnosis. "MS can affect any part of the brain or spinal cord," says S. Ausim Azizi, MD, PhD, chairperson of the department of neurology at Temple University School of Medicine in Philadelphia. "Therefore, symptoms can be varied and can change frequently." Neurological symptoms (issues with seeing, reaching, feeling) lasting for weeks should be checked with a neurologist or MS specialist, says Azizi.
Overactive thyroid
An overactive thyroid speeds up your metabolism and may trigger panic attacks and a pounding heart, common symptoms of anxiety. "Although an overactive thyroid is more commonly associated with triggering anxiety than an underactive thyroid, either condition may be involved," says Joseph J. Colella, MD, author of The Appetite Solution. Though it can be an easy symptom to dismiss, feeling anxious all the time is never normal, and while there are many potential causes, it's almost always treatable. Ask your physician to perform a thyroid panel of blood tests to be sure that the organ is operating at peak efficiency, says Colella.

This gastrointestinal disorder, characterized by bouts of recurrent abdominal pain and diarrhea, has no known cause but is often triggered by anxiety and stress. It also involves a miscommunication between the brain and gut regulation, which is why it's sometimes believed to be all in your head, says James Lee, MD, gastroenterologist with St. Joseph Hospital, Orange, CA. "Although psychological factors are not the primary cause of IBS, they can affect how a person manages and copes with its symptoms, such as becoming fearful of having an attack in social situations." (These 11 highly effective solutions for IBScan help.)

A symptom rather than a specific disorder, chronic pain refers to pain that keeps up for weeks, months, and even years, sometimes with no known cause. "Every injury has an expected period of time to recovery," says Farahmand. "If pain lasts for longer than what seems normal, further evaluation is necessary." Common chronic pains include headache, low back pain, arthritis pain, and neurogenic pain, which is pain resulting from damage to the peripheral nerves or the central nervous system itself. Treatment may include oral medications, ointments or a patch applied to the skin, injections or more invasive procedures.

Like his last film, Oh My God, director Umesh Shukla has again found his inspiration in a play. Based on Saumya Joshi's Gujarati play, 102 Not Out is a lesson on life skills and how to rise above the bitter memories and cherish the sweet ones.
102-year-old Dattatray Vakharia (Amitabh Bachchan) and his 75-year-old son Babulal (Rishi Kapoor) don't have much in common. While the father's zeal for a fulfilling life knows no boundary, the son is trapped in his past.
One day, out of the blue, the father announces that he is going to send the son to an old-age home. The son protests and the father names his terms. He asks the son to fulfil his five conditions over a period of six months. But it is more than just a game for them.
102 Not Out begins with a few hiccups. The actors take time in adjusting to the script, which relies more on dialogues than actions. Remaining true to the play, every character is introduced by a fellow actor, and wherever they feel restricted, Vijay Raaz's voiceover comes to the rescue..
After a talkative initial portion, the veterans begin to settle down in their roles and 102 Not Out starts taking shape. Umesh Shukla ensures we go down the memory lane and remember our childhood and secretly sob as Rishi Kapoor silently unpacks his armour. While Amitabh Bachchan plays the anchor, Rishi becomes the glue that sticks the scenes together.
His grumpy old man strikes a chord with us. His silence and cries make sense to the audience, and you hope his character will achieve full bloom. The screenplay, however, favours Amitabh Bachchan's energetic act. The focus keeps shifting from one to the other without actually achieving the crescendo.
Jimit Trivedi's Dhiru doesn't help either. He provides the comic relief, but the film is light in nature and his interventions don't add much to what the two senior actors have already achieved. A third character is definitely needed to take the story forward and add a neutral perspective, but it could have been carved out in a better way.
Umesh Shukla's focus is focussed on creating moments rather than a build-up that would culminate with a blast. He adopts old school methods and gives his characters enough time to unfold their inner selves. Most of the film is shot inside a house where the director's dependence on the performances increases. When he ventured outside the four walls, he tries to maintain the same kind of serenity.
From rains to melodious ring of horse-carts, he uses sounds that don't hamper the audience's thought process. Not being too gimmicky helps him when the viewers find time for an inward journey. It may look old school to some, but it's surely effective.
102 Not Out's heart is firmly in the right place. The film knows its territory and the emotions it wants to evoke. It's just that a few important characters don't get enough play and they are sacrificed to make space to Amitabh Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor.
But are the two veterans worth it? Definitely. They form the soul of 102 Not Out and its youthful exuberance. Rishi Kapoor has an upper hand though.
The film's 101-minute duration is enough to convey its high spirits and liveliness. Its message is loud and clear though it comes at the cost of some unnecessary villainy.


Hope everyone had a great weekend! It seems that I've got my blogging bug back. For a little while there I was feeling a bit overwhelmed trying to focus all of my energy into my new position while balancing a social life and a home life. I finally figured out the correct balance of all my responsibilities, new and old. I'm managing to get to work early while still cleaning the dishes, playing video games, and catching up on our favorite TV shows like Dexter.
This print you see above was taken by Lana Pribic, who blogs at The Second Renaissance. Lana hosted a giveaway of one of her photographic prints, and I won! She let me chose whatever photograph that I loved best of hers. Of course, when I saw her photograph of Notre Dame from her trip to Paris, I felt so much nostalgia that I knew it was the photo that I had to have! With a white frame near my faux-Pollock in my purple living room, I wanted it in a spot that I would see it all the time. I love to be reminded of my trip to Paris from years ago. The faux-Pollock was actually a project that my dad and I made together when I was in high school. He built a wooden frame, stretched canvas over it, and we hit up the oops paint shelf at the hardware store. With the large frame on the floor, we spent a day throwing paint across the canvas. The Notre Dame print now sits on top of my 1965 Encyclopedia Britannica set, a vintage collection that I inherited and love! It fits in perfectly with all of our other old pieces collected from antique shops in our travels. One of these weekends coming up, we plan on hitting up the local row of antique shops. We haven't been antiquing in so long and this time I have my eye on some mid-century furniture pieces for our home.
Nice win on the print!
yaay for figuring out the balance- i have yet to get there, haha. and what an awesome giveaway, the print you chose is GORGEOUS!
It looks great! It's so hard to balance your life, especially when you have multiple social groups. Ugh! Glad you're finding balance.
What a pretty print! Love it :) And like Angel said, it's definitely hard, especially with such a big (and awesome!) promotion such as yours. Hope things are going well!
Yelle, i am so happy it has arrived! You made it look great. So glad it takes you back to a special memory.
And hey, don't be hard on yourself, its all a learning process! Balancing different aspects of our lives and devoting optimal time to each is something i feel we all struggle with.
I'm doing a giveaway as well that I think you would enjoy with your party planning/event planning! come check it out!
I love your style! And now, I'm inspired to create a faux Pollock for myself. So pretty!
beautiful space! lovely photos and words!
I've been struggling with balance a lot this summer too. I've been lucky enough to not have to work (much) in the summers, but this year I've been working a lot more than usual, which is good, but I miss hanging out with my son (and the beach!). And then the work balance! Yipes! I'll get there I guess.
I love both the print and the faux-Pollock is great! In the lower school of my son's school is a huge faux-Pollock as well, and I love it...and him.

Q: Statement before fork() printing twice I was experimenting with fork() and re-direction to check whether the re-directions done in the parent apply to the child too. I wrote the following simple program
#include<stdio.h>
#include<unistd.h>
#include<stdlib.h>

int main ()
{
    freopen( "error.txt", "w+t", stdout ); // From now on, stdout = error.txt
    printf (" ERROR!  WHY DONT U UNDERSTAND?\n");
    if ( fork() == 0 )
    {
        printf(" I AM CHILD\n");
        exit(0);
    }
    else-
    {
        printf (" EITHER I AM A PARENT OR SOMETHING GOT SCREWED\n");
    }

    return 0;
}

The output ( error.txt ) I got is
ERROR!  WHY DONT U UNDERSTAND?
EITHER I AM A PARENT OR SOMETHING GOT SCREWED
ERROR!  WHY DONT U UNDERSTAND?
I AM CHILD

Surprisingly, ERROR!  WHY DONT U UNDERSTAND? is printing twice even though it appears much before the fork() is called and should only be printed once by the parent.
Can anyone shed some light on this?

A: Since after reopen the stream is non-interactive, it's fully buffered and doesn't flush on '\n'. Before fork is called the buffer still contains the message, and after fork this buffered message was duplicated (because both processes got their own copies of stdout) and then flushed by both the parent and the child. See part 7.19.3 of C standard.
You can avoid such behavior by calling fflush just before fork.

A: It's because of buffering. Do a fflush right after printf.
Both processes end up with the same copy of stdio's internal stuff and both proceed to flush it at exit. You might also prevent it from happening if you call _exit in the child.

A: flushing the buffer will solve the problem.
use fflush just after the print statement.

A: It seems that the ERROR! WHY DONT U UNDERSTAND is still buffered after forking and gets written by both processes.
If you add
fflush(stdout);

right after your first printf() the internal buffer is flushed and it only appears once in your file.


Finland: Convergence of Fascist Anti-Fascists and Muslims in Helsinki……. – The Tundra Tabloids…….
Finland: Convergence of Fascist Anti-Fascists and Muslims in Helsinki…….
A book release and symposium in Helsinki today, is set to draw protesters from Russia, Estonia and Finland, to demonstrate their disapproval over a book by Sofi Oksanen and Imbi Paju, concerning the Soviet occupation of Estonia, and the deportations of ethnic Estonians to Siberia after WWII.
"in which youth-led street protests helped give the presidency to pro-Western candidate Viktor Yushchenko" (Wiki).
What is of extreme interest are the ideologies the Naši-movement (even their name sounds familiar) is aligning itself with -in the name of fighting racism and Fascism- while being an unabashed nationalist movement with ties to Russian communists. According to Helsingin Sanomat, the pro-communist organization, Kominform, posts the Nashis announcements in their Yahoo-group email alerts.
Here is the website of the Finnish Anti-Fascist Committee, SAFKA, one of the groups of "anti-Fascists" that are planning to attend the demonstration. The website says that SAFKA has awarded Finland's highly esteemed former ambassador to the UN, Max Jakobsson with "Misanthropist of the Year 2009" award for being an anti-Russian propogandist.
Max Jakobsson is not only highly respected in Finland for his service to the Finnish state as a senior Foreign Office offical, he is also a highly regarded historian and scholar in his own right. The attack against Jakobsson as being anti-Russian is laughable, and as one of Finland's most high profile Jewish Finns, being linked to Fascism, racism and bigotry by these clowns is an outrage.
Enter Johan Bäckman, a Finnish academic who holds a doctorate in political science and is a lecturer at the University of Helsinki, who happens to be one of the key principal characters in this unfolding drama.
Bäckman has been at the center of stirring up anti-Estonian sentiment here in Finland for some time now, with his most noticeable attempt being the demonization of the Estonian government, for its removal of the Bronze Soldier monument from the center of Tallinn to a quiet, but respectful place within the country's military cemetery.
As proof of Bäckman's propaganda stunt, this "academic" still refers to the monument on his blog that's dedicated to the event, as having been destroyed, when in reality it has been only relocated.
The Tundra Tabloids exchanged a few emails with the academic last year, in trying to bring to his attention that the monument is not destroyed as he falsely claims, but entirely in one piece in Estonia's military cemetery. It was to no avail. It was like trying to prove to a 9/11 "Truther" that 19 Saudis/Muslims affiliated with Al-Qaida Islamic terrorist organization were solely to blame for attacking the WTC and the Pentagon, not the US government.
Bäckman is now running for the Euro-parliament elections, and on his blog which is online at the Uusi Suomi news website, he makes the claim that the Simon Weisenthal Center in Jerusalem has given its seal of approval to the demonstration to be held in Helsinki today.
Johan Bäckman: "Dr Ephraim Zuroff , Director of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Jerusalem, supported the demonstration by the Finnish, Estonian and Russian anti-fascists, against the history seminars organized by the Estonian embassy".
But the Tundra Tabloids has credible sources that say Israel's relations with the Estonian state couldn't be better, but the same source also says the Simon Weisnthal Center, did in fact issue the statement, (update, see below) which makes this a case of the SWC being hoodwinked. In the TT's opinion, the support by the SWC is a knee jerk reaction to those who say they are rallying under the banner of "anti-fascim". It's a very bad move, and something that the SWC should seriously reconsider.
Johan Bäckman is grandstanding, and it says a lot about the standards of the Helsinki University to have such an academic on its staff that is so cavelier with the facts. Actually Bäckman invents them. Check out his usage of the word "antifada" to describe the actions of some of the Russian minority in Estonia to the removal of the "Bronze Soldier" monument. He also supports allowing some forms of sharia law in Finland.
Abdullah (Risto) Tammi, Finnish convert to Islam.
Johan Bäckman is also keen to point out that the Finnish Islamic Party is also involved in the demonstration, with Abdullah Tammi joing ranks with Bäckman, the Nashis and the rest of the Fascist anti-Fascists in their campaign against the Estonian state.
The whole scenario gets very Orwellian and surreal, with the former Finnish KGB informer (during the Soviet years), Abdullah Tammi, teaming up with the "anti-Fascists" in Helsinki to protest the defamation of the Soviet Union by a few ethnic Estonian Finns, whose book exposes the cruelty of the Soviets during its reign of terror in Estonia.
What we are witnessing here in Finland and in Estonia, is a highly toxic nexus of utlra nationalistic pro-Soviet voices under the guise of pro-Russian sentiment, teaming up with fundamentalist Muslims, some of which who have had ties with the Soviet KGB during the 70's and 80's, with the aim of undermining the pro-western, pro-Israel, philo-semitic, democratic state of Estonia.
UPDATE: A Tundra Tabloids' source now admits that the SWC director in Jerusalem, Efraim Zuroff, did not give his tacit support to the demonstration by the "anti-Fascists in Helsinki. So that makes Finnish academic, Johan Bäckman, into a major liar.
NOTE: The Tundra Tabloids acknowledges the fact that the SWC has good grounds to pursue the Estonian government's active role in honestly dealing with its past, concerning the role some Estonians played in the Jewish Holocaust. That said, it's of utmost importance that the SWC ensures that it's well aware of radical parties within Estonia and Finland who are willing to exploit past Estonian transgressions not for the honest search for the truth, but for their own political agendas.
UPDATE II: YLE has a report in English about the Nashi and Finnish Islamic Party members staging a demonstration in Helsinki. read it here.
UPDATE III: Tundra Tabloids source now says that Johan Bäckman called the SWC's Efraim Zuroff, who did not know about Bäckman's background, and did not give his support for the demonstration. Johan Bäckman in fact lies about the SWC's support.

I've observed over the years: many "anti-fascists" turn out to be extreme leftists. They use their stand against one form of anti-Semitism as a license to promote other kinds of anti-Semitism, usually (but certainly not limited to) Israel-hatred.
It seems to me that this is what's going on here.
Efraim Zuroff is not being completely honest either.
Look at Efraim Zuroff's facebook page and you will see that he is "friends" with Erkki Johan Bäckman and Aleksander Dyukov, among other "anti-fa" notables.
