But I am none of those things.
Actually, I'm reading the book for the same reason that I enjoyed watching the Matrix: if people will talk about it, it provides the opening to share the reality of the True God. The really twisted stuff that the Wachowski brothers created in The Matrix provided plenty of opportunity to talk about the gospel and how it was similar to (there is a deeper reality behind what we see) and totally different from (God is not a limited game designer, a finite being Himself, but all-powerful and loving) the movies. I'm always looking for openings, even if they wouldn't be the ones I'd create on my own; the Shack sounds like it fits into that category.
Tim Challies' review of The Shack was really good (found here).
Hey, if Paul could use the Greek 'Unknown God" to introduce the True and Living God at Mars Hill in Acts 17:23, we should be able to use our culture's even most delusional things to point to truth, right? Anything that much closer to the truth should just make it easier!
Good reason to read the book- that's why I did too.
And in fact, as I'm planning on posting tomorrow, the best use of the book is to illustrate the real, life-altering importance of theology. Most of the book really does end up being theological discussion, and I hope people realize as they read that we need to think well about God because it really does matter!
But I'm not sure if that gives a good reason for this book to have been written so poorly in regards to theology. Yet, since it has been, we do just as you said (with some very good Scriptures to point out the problems). On a related note, I think many of my emerging/emegent friends have asked a similar question, "should we encourage heresy because we can use it to share the truth?" There are extremes on both sides of the issue, I'm sure. But I think this book has done a lot of damage; so hopefully we can help "redeem" it in our ultra-cool redemptive-historical method of interpreting and preaching – ha ha!


Lauren Termini Photography is a wedding photography company based in Boston, Massachusetts. The owner and photographer, Lauren Termini, has been professionally capturing wedding photography since 2010. She earned her BFA in photojournalism from Rochester Institute of Technology, and discovered her passion for wedding photography after moving to Boston in 2009. The photographer uses a photojournalistic documentary style to capture the emotions and moments shared with you and your loved ones on your wedding day. Lauren Termini welcomes the opportunity to travel for your destination wedding, and loves exploring new cultures. When she is not shooting weddings, she does photography work for volunteer groups like Flashes of Hope in New England, a nonprofit dedicated to raising funds for children's cancer.
My fiance and I wanted to have engagement pictures done before he headed off for a 5 month military training. We found Lauren online and she was happy to accommodate our crazy schedule and our fast timeline. We took engagement photos on one of the coldest days of the year and yet we still had so much fun! Lauren's energy and direction made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and we are so incredibly happy with the way the photos came out. We would recommend her to any engaged couples!
Jen, thank you for your kind words! I'm so delighted to hear you had a great experience. I hope the months that Ben is away are moving quickly! I wish the two of you all the best in the future!!
Out of all of the vendors I chose for my wedding, it was Lauren who stood out above the rest. She is the perfect mix of friendly and professional and her photojournalism background gives her a unique way of capturing raw emotion in each photo. During our preliminary meetings, it often felt like my husband and I were hanging out with a friend rather than a wedding vendor. She also prepared us for everything and made us feel extremely comfortable throughout the entire process. I never had to worry about anything with Lauren, which is priceless for a bride. She was extremely responsive to texts and emails and always had a very positive attitude. Our friends and family who attended our wedding remarked at how organized and on top of things she was. There were a lot of personalities to handle and family members to corral and she was able to do that flawlessly and courteously. Our wedding photos are absolutely gorgeous and something that my husband and I will treasure forever. I have and will continue to recommend Lauren to anyone and everyone.
Wow, what a glowing review! I am speechless. It was such an honor to be the one to document the past year and a half, from the engagement session to the wedding celebration. I want to thank you for choosing me to capture such an important season of your lives. I am so grateful to have such incredible clients like the two of you, where it feels like more of a friendship than a business relationship. Not to mention your families were so welcoming, I felt like part of the crew! Congratulations again, and I wish the two of you nothing but the best.
Working with Lauren was amazing from start to finish. Photography was at the top of our priority list while wedding planning and we researched dozens (if not hundreds) of local photographers before finding Lauren. She is down-to-earth, flexible, and professional. Though my husband and I weren't used to being in front of the camera, Lauren made us feel comfortable from the minute we met in one of our favorite parks in Boston for our engagement session. Lauren's openness to consistent communication before our wedding day made our day-of photography experience even better. Lauren was up front about timelines and expectations from day one and always followed through by delivering photos on time (and sometimes earlier than expected!). Our engagement and wedding day photos came out even better than we could have hoped. We would recommend Lauren with no hesitation to anyone looking for a reliable, talented, and flexible wedding photographer.
Hope and Mario, thank you so much for the kind words. It was truly an honor to be a part of your day, and all the preparations leading up to it. I had a blast getting to know the two of you, and thank you for trusting me with one of the best days of your life so far!


There was a fire early this morning aboard a 50-foot commercial fishing vessel berthed at Fisherman's Terminal, just west of the Ballard Bridge. According to Seattle fire, crews found the boat burning when they arrived on scene just after 4 a.m. Friday. Firefighters used foam to control the fire within four minutes.
The fire was reportedly caused by a faulty electrical outlet in the galley. The fire department estimates damage at $200,000.

If you take a stand for the unborn, prepare yourself for a lot of abuse
David Robertson 11 July 2020 | 9:12 AM
For some people, when they want to say thank you, they send flowers. Recently the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children sent a bouquet of flowers to the Scottish Nationalist MP Dr Lisa Cameron – MP for Kilbride, Strathaven and Lesmahagow.
Why? Because they wanted to express appreciation for her stance on abortion in Parliament. On 20 June, she was the only SNP MP to vote against buffer zones outside abortion clinics. Last year, she also voted against the imposition of abortion on Northern Ireland – unlike her Westminster party leader, Ian Blackford.
Not everyone appreciates Dr Cameron's principled stand. She is the SNP's Westminster health spokesperson and there have been calls for her to be fired – because although she clearly cares about the health of the unborn child, apparently her stance is damaging to women's mental health. Those who make this claim offer no evidence, other than their own political ideology, and ignore the plentiful evidence that abortion itself is harmful to women's mental health.
As a pastor I can testify to the damaging impact that abortion has on many women's mental health. So can Dr Cameron. She told the National newspaper: "Prior to coming into politics, I worked as a clinical psychologist in mental health for over 20 years and on no occasion did anyone ever call into question my suitability because I am a Christian with pro-life views."
In today's society, however, a politician taking a stand for the unborn, is a target for incredible pressure and abuse, especially if she is a woman and a Christian. Dr Cameron has received much abuse, an elderly relative received a death threat, and a journalist prepared a story of how she was supposedly unfit to be an MP. The pressure is so intense that, as she puts it, "being a Christian family in public life seems very risky today." Tim Farron, the former leader of the Lib Dems has also questioned whether a Christian can be a political leader in today's intolerant environment.
I have a great deal of empathy for Dr Cameron on this, having had a little taste of the kind of social media storm she faces. A few years ago, I was involved in a Twitter argument about abortion. My opponents stated that the unborn baby was "just an egg". I responded, "If that's the case go into a café and ask for scrambled foetus on toast." It was an attempt to point out the ridiculous crassness of the argument. Ricky Gervais picked up on my tweet and retweeted it - he has over eight million followers. My phone never stopped pinging for the next couple of days, and the level of mockery and abuse was just wearing. Dr Cameron has to face that – and the threats to her job, career and family.
One of the worst things for Christians who seek to take a biblical stance for the protection of the weakest and most vulnerable members in our society, is that so many Christian leaders are silent. Whilst the Roman Catholic church, FIEC and the Evangelical Alliance are strong in their stance for the unborn, most of the other mainstream denominations and organisations are silent. The Church of England bishops, for example, threatened to withdraw co-operation from the UK government, not because of the imposition of abortion on Northern Ireland – no, that went past with hardly a whimper, and indeed several bishops abstained on the issue when it came to the House of Lords – but they were furious because of the Dominic Cummings issue. It seems a strange set of priorities.
What was especially poignant for me is that Dr Cameron's church has recently left the Church of Scotland to join the Free Church of Scotland (the church I used to minister in), and Ian Blackford is also a member of that church. But he supports and encourages abortion. I was so shocked at his behaviour in voting to impose abortion on Northern Ireland that I wrote an open letter to him.
Mr Blackford has sadly continued his pro-abortion campaign – he was a signatory of the letter to Amber Rudd asking her to ban protests outside abortion centres.
Meanwhile the UK government has permitted the use of DIY abortions at home – although that is subject to legal challenge. We are rightly deeply concerned about the loss of human life through Covid – over 500,000 worldwide so far. But each year there are over 50 million abortions worldwide. Over 200,000 in England and Wales. Over 12,000 in Scotland. Who cares and speaks for the unborn? Dr Lisa Cameron for one. She well deserves the flowers she received from SPUC and even more importantly the prayers of the Lord's people.
"In his arrogance the wicked man hunts down the weak.....Arise Lord, lift up your hand, O God. Do not forget the helpless." (Psalm 10).

The cell phone is more and more popular in our life. Usually, we can contact with others easier with it. With the development of the modern technology, the special camera,, mini radio, MP3 are hidden in the , so we can take photos, listen radio and enjoy music. Do you even think of another function of cell phone? One day,, I found it's another cute function by chance, that it can be used as mirror.

As these animals run, they need healthy joints to withstand the pressure. You must ask your doctor for the right joint dietary supplements for your equine. Keep them away from arthritis because it can greatly affect their performance. Make sure that their hooves are not lodged with many things like stones, mud,, and other small objects. They can make your equine feel uncomfortable and hurt them as they walk or run with your added weight onto their backs. Ask your farrier to make comfortable horseshoes for your pet to keep them unharmed and healthy. Healthy feet for your equines is essential to allow them perform their tasks efficiently.

Hultquist Foundation Continues Support of MSFO Experience

Artistic and Music Director Timothy Muffitt leads the Music School Festival Orchestra and they perform with Chautauqua Voice Program students Lindsey Reynolds, soprano, left, and Marie Engle, mezzo-soprano, during a rehearsal for their production of "I Capuleti e i Montecchi" (The Capulets and the Montagues) Sunday, Aug. 4, 2019 in Lenna Hall. DAVE MUNCH/PHOTO EDITOR
The Hultquist Foundation of Jamestown is a longtime supporter of the Chautauqua Music School Festival Orchestra. The Hultquist Foundation was founded in 1965, in memory of Earle Hultquist, a successful industrialist from Jamestown. The foundation financially supports numerous organizations in the greater Jamestown community each year.
"Our foundation has a long history with the Institution, and our directors remain committed to funding the MSFO because we believe strongly about the program and its leadership, and it has an impressive record of success with training young musicians," said Stephen Wright, president of the Hultquist Foundation.
Students come from all over the country, as well as internationally, to participate in the program. The Hultquist Foundation's investment in the MSFO has made it possible for these talented students to improve their skills and gain the best possible experience during their time at Chautauqua.
"It's exciting to be able to attract so much young talent from around the world to our rural community each summer and to watch the participants grow and flourish and move on to national and international venues," Wright said.
The Hultquist Foundation's board of directors will continue its tradition of attending the MSFO's final performance of the season in support of the students; the performance will take place at 8:15 p.m. tonight in the Amphitheater.
For more information on underwriting opportunities at Chautauqua, please contact Tina Downey, director of the Chautauqua Fund, at 716-357-6406 or tdowney@chq.org.

How do ventriloquists do it?
I have long been mystified by ventriloquists. How do they do it? It seems impossible. Try to say "Sherry Lewis" with your mouth closed.
It's "Shari," snookums, not "Sherry." We like to be punctilious about our spelling in this column. The trick in any case is not say "Shari Lewis" with your mouth closed, but rather to say it without moving your lips, which are kept open about a quarter inch at all times.
But there's more to voice-throwing than that. Ventriloquism relies on the fact that the ability of the human ear to locate the source of a sound without visual and other cues is very poor. What the ventriloquist does is supply misleading cues through the use of what we masters of deceit refer to as stagecraft and voice. Stagecraft consists of using gestures, eye movements, "patter," and so on to direct attention to wherever the voice is supposed to be coming from. Voice is the ability not only to talk without moving your lips but also to alter the pitch and cadence of your voice so as to create a second "personality," which you can then bestow on the object of your choice.
The talking-without-moving-your-lips part is easier than you might think. For starters, you learn to grin like an idiot at all times. This serves the dual purpose of baffling your audience and stretching your lower jaw muscles, making it easier to keep them motionless. There are only six tough sounds–the "labials," or lip sounds, b, f, m, p, v, and w. Essentially what you do is substitute some vaguely similar sound, talk fast, and let people hear what they want to hear. For w, for instance, we substitute oo. "Where" becomes "oo-air," "twenty" becomes "too-en-tee," and so on. Eventually you learn to run the sounds together to more or less eliminate the extra syllable. For f we substitute a th as in think, making the sound barely audible and putting most of the emphasis on the rest of the word. Thus the sentence "Why is Willie feeling funny?" becomes "Oo-eye is Oo-illie theeling thunny?" You may think this sounds retarded, but we must have a positive attitude about this. There are other substitutions for other labials.
Having grasped the rudiments, we may then move on to the fine points, such as projecting your voice while drinking water. To do this you go out to some sleazy singles bar and get a beer stein that looks bulky but actually contains amazingly little liquid (no doubt you've come across these before). You raise the glass to your lips while concluding your spiel and pour the liquid into your mouth, making no effort to swallow. Since sound production takes place in the back and upper portions of the mouth, the liquid sloshing around your lower molars will not interfere. You time your rap in such a way that you finish at the same time you get done "drinking," whereupon you take your bow, swallow, and exit stage left. A child could do it.
A: My great grandfather was killed 75 years ago in a parachute jump.
B: They didn't have parachutes 75 years ago.
A: I know. That's how he got killed.
The typical audience will be so appalled by this alleged witticism that any minor defects in your technique will pass unnoticed in the hail of tomatoes, beer bottles, and dead cats that will surely follow. Take it from an old trouper, kids.

Smart cities are livable, accessible and human-centered communities where technology, innovation and sustainable use of resources intersect. And there is a growing interest in building smart cities around the globe. The investments into smart city initiatives globally were recorded at $81 billion in 2018 and investments are projected to double by 2022. Seventy percent of the population will be concentrated in urban areas by 2050. Smart city startups such as Sidewalk Labs Toronto are helping assess the technology, test policies and develop structures, laying the groundwork for the cities of the future.
Sidewalk Labs Toronto: Creating the Neighborhood of the Future
A smart city generally encompasses urban development programs for integrating data and technology to make communities habitable, connected and sustainable. But Alphabet's Sidewalk Labs Toronto has grander plans. By applying technology, innovation, and time-tested urban design, Sidewalk Labs Toronto aims to create smart cities that are quick to accommodate the evolving needs of its dwellers. Affordable housing, improved transportation options, and more livable public places are some of the challenges Sidewalk Labs Toronto seeks to address. Working alongside architecture firms Snøhetta and Heatherwick Studios, Sidewalk Labs proposes an expansion of the city's light rail transit, heated pedestrian pathways, energy-efficient buildings, and affordable housing.

Daniel Doctoroff shares his enthusiasm about what Sidewalk Labs Toronto hopes to achieve.
Sidetracked, But Now Getting Back on Track
The plan for a smart city project in Quayside, Toronto's East Bayfront area, was unveiled in October 2017. The project—headed by Sidewalk Labs CEO Dan Doctoroff—is focused on making the area a greenhouse of urban innovations and technology. Currently, the Sidewalk Labs Toronto Master Innovation and Development Plan (MIDP) is being revised. Even amidst data privacy concerns and transparency issues, Sidewalk Labs Toronto is taking steps to engage the public.
So far, community involvement has taken the form of roundtables, panels, conferences, and demonstration of prototypes. Such steps were done with the intent to involve all stakeholders in developing a plan pleasing to all. Doctoroff appreciates the discussion around the project. He states, "We're big believers that in order to create a successful project, particularly one that is new and different, you have to put ideas out there, you have to be willing to take the criticism…" The company revealed that the complete MIDP will be published by Spring, 2019. Clearly, Sidewalk Labs Toronto is taking decisive steps to get back on track.
By applying technology, innovation, and time-tested urban design, Sidewalk Labs Toronto aims to create smart cities that are quick to accommodate the evolving needs of its dwellers.
Building Smart Cities: Urban Innovations Across the Globe
Obviously, with the rising demand for cities that combine technology, innovation, and sustainability, innovators are working on building smart cities across the globe. For example:
Guangzhou, China partnered with CISCO and Plug and Play in building a smart city in its Panyu District. The $2.9 billion-project will cover a 3.2 square kilometer area housing various sectors under production, academics, research, business, and residence.
Belmont City in Arizona is an $80 million-smart city. The 24,800-acre property will be a residential, commercial, retail and business space. Located just outside Phoenix, the project aims to create a 100 percent smart city equipped with cutting edge digital technologies, self-driving cars and state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities.
Dubbed as the world's most ambitious project, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has invested $500 billion in building NEOM. A project covering a vast 25,900 square kilometers, NEOM will include a bridge spanning the Red Sea. In addition, there will be an urban area stretching across Jordan and Egypt, and a private airport.
In Gujarat, India, another Smart City project is taking shape. The Dholera Smart City project began in 2011 and is expected to be operational within the year. Featuring excellent connectivity and transportation, Dholera Smart City has railways, ports, highways and an international airport.
Jane Jacobs points out the value of sidewalk contacts in a city's wealth of public life.
Historically, communities were formed as a response to a human's need to be in a safe environment. Moreover, a community answers the need to share physical space and interact with other people. Therefore, by placing these needs at the fore, stakeholders are truly building smart cities of the future.

Am I correct?
Background:
In Borceux's Handbook of Categorical Algebra 2 on page 351 at one point he concludes that $1\otimes 1$ is a retract of $1$ and therefore $1\otimes 1$ is either empty or a singleton. He then goes on to rule out the first case by invoking the adjoint of the tensor product and various bijections.
After briefly thinking about it I would replace this last part by the proof I have suggested above. If I missed something and the additional complexity is necessary, kindly point out how.

The Nexus 5 2015 will likely have a 2700mAh battery, announcement coming in September
By Igor Bonifacic@IgorBonifacic
Citing what it claims is a reliable source, Android Police has just published some new information on the upcoming LG Nexus 5 refresh.
Before digging into the phone's internal specs, article author David Ruddock notes that his source wasn't able to provide him with any information on the actual name of the device, so we'll just have to keep awkwardly referring to it as the 2015 Nexus 5 for the time being. Moreover, his source wasn't able to provide any details on pricing.
That said, they were able to give him with an almost complete rundown of the much-anticipated phone's specs.
To start, the new Nexus 5 will feature a Snapdragon 808 processor. This confirms a report from last week that said the device will feature a Snapdragon 808, not the Snapdragon 620, as previously rumoured.
The 808 system on a chip features an Adreno 418 GPU, which is comparable to the Adreno 330 GPU that was found in devices like the Nexus 6 and Galaxy Note 4. Supporting this setup will be 3GB of RAM.
A USB Type-C port is also confirmed to be on board, though Ruddock and company weren't able to find out if it is an actual USB 3.0 implementation of the port or a reworked USB 2.0 model.
One of the main issues a lot of Nexus 5 owners had with their device was its battery life. And at the very least, it appears that Google and LG are attempting to solve that pain point with a modestly larger battery. Compared to the Nexus 5's 2300mAh power pack, the new LG Nexus is said to feature a 2700mAh one. For the sake of comparison, this means that the Nexus 5 will feature a larger batter than the Galaxy S6, but smaller than the LG G4, which also runs a Snapdragon 808. Thankfully, we had great battery life on the G4, and the Nexus 5 is expected to have a lower-resolution display.
Display wise, the 2015 Nexus 5 will feature a 5.2-inch 1080p. While not the most dense display we've seen on a 5.2-inch device, it's possible Google and LG decided that a 1080p display was the best compromise between visual clarity and battery life.
Moving on to the cameras, the device is said to include a 12.3 megapixel back-facing camera and a 5 megapixel front-facing camera.
In terms of storage, the phone will come in 16GB and 32GB variants.
Lastly, Android Police says the device will be announced in late September, a fact that it says has corroborated with other sources.

Tasmania news: Olympic rowers flee mainland smoke to train in Tasmania ahead of Tokyo

Here's what you need to know today:
Bulk-bill fail costly for Tasmania, TasCOSS says
Tasmania is missing out on millions of dollars in health funding because of poor access to general practitioners, the state's peak welfare body says.
In a submission to the State Government, the Tasmanian Council of Social Services (TasCOSS), called on the state and federal governments to prioritise primary health care for the state's most vulnerable residents.
Almost half of GP patients in Tasmania face out-of-pocket costs, the worst bulk-billing rate out of all states.
At the same time, more than 200,000 Tasmanians live with at least two chronic health conditions.
TasCOSS chief executive Kym Goodes says it is time for a "reset" on the state's health debate.
"If any business was spending 32 per cent of a budget and not getting improved outcomes, in fact getting worse outcomes, then a business would review that expenditure," she said.
Rowing stars relocate to Tasmania
One unexpected consequence of the bushfire's ravaging Australia is the arrival of the national rowing teams in Tasmania.
Rowing Australia decided on New Year's Day the air quality in its usual training grounds of Canberra and Penrith was so bad that it was too dangerous to continue to train there.
Photo: Athletes will train at Lake Barrington (pictured) and on the Tamar River. (www.discovertasmania.com.au)
The teams and coaches have come to Lake Barrington and Launceston for at least two weeks.
Rowing Australia chief executive Ian Robson said it was important the athletes could continue to train, with fewer than 200 days until the Tokyo Olympic Games.
"Selection trials for the national rowing team are at the end of February so this is a critical period of preparation," he said.
"While we're thinking of everyone who's facing the reality and brutality of the bushfires, we needed to get on with business and in a way that was mindful of the athlete's safety."
Mr Robson said the relocation had been a logistical challenge, but the rowers were enjoying their time in the island state.
"Everyone arrived on Sunday and when I say everyone, that's 50 athletes, 25 support staff, a couple of trailer-loads of boats, so it's a big logistical exercise."
Mr Robson said the temporary move to Tasmania had likely cost more than $100,000.

Man learns of home loss via SMS
A man who lost his home in the bushfires in Tasmania's north-east said he hoped his life would be back to normal "this time next year".
The fires in the Fingal area have burned more than 16,000 hectares since they were first reported on December 30 and are currently classified at advice level.
Photo: Michael Warner is "glad I wasn't actually there to have made potentially the wrong decision". (Supplied: Darren Elms)
Michael Warner moved to Mangana, about 12 kilometres north of Fingal, a decade ago and built a self-sufficient home with solar panels and a wind turbine.
He told ABC Radio Hobart his home had initially survived the intense fires, but burned down a day later.
"I was in disbelief initially because according to the Tasmania Fire Service (TFS) website when I looked at it, the fires weren't anywhere near me, they were supposed to be three or four kilometres south," he said.
"I was then told later in the day that it had survived and then a day later there was a wind change."
Mr Warner, who is interstate, found out his home had been destroyed when the TFS incident controller sent him a photo of the wreckage.
He said he would have defended his home if he was there.
"From what I've seen of the photos and just how high the flames were on the hill, I wouldn't have been facing small flames, it would have been a wall," Mr Warner said.
"The thought of that scares the hell out of me, so I'm glad I wasn't actually there to have made potentially the wrong decision."
Tasmanian weather

Total n choose r where n = 6 and r = 1,6:
       64

Holds true for all $n$ I tried -- but why?

A: It's from the Binomial Theorem, expanding $(1+1)^n$

A: Another explanation is to observe that, since $\,\dbinom nk$ is the number of subsets of $k$ elements in a set of $n$ elements, the sum  of all these coefficients ($n$  fixed) is but the number of all subsets of a set of $n$ elements – which is known to be $2^n$.

A: One more explanation, given a CS or CS-like background: Consider the set of all $n$-bit numbers, from $0$ through $2^n-1$, inclusive; there are thus $2^n$ of them, by inspection.  (For instance, there are $2^3 = 8$ numbers from $0$ through $2^3-1 = 7: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7$.)
We could, also, count them as follows: How many of the numbers have no $1$ bits?  We choose none of the $n$ bits to be equal to $1$, so the answer is
$$
\binom{n}{0}
$$
How many of them have exactly one $1$ bit?  We choose one of the $n$ bits to be equal to $1$, so the answer is
$$
\binom{n}{1}
$$
How many of them have exactly two $1$ bits?  We choose two of the $n$ bits to be equal to $1$, so the answer is
$$
\binom{n}{2}
$$
And so on.
Of course, this way of counting must equal our first answer, so we can combine all of these separate counts to obtain
$$
\binom{n}{0}+\binom{n}{1}+\binom{n}{2}+\cdots+\binom{n}{n} = 2^n
$$

Millennials, Gen Xers and Baby Boomers: Do They Really Have Different Shopping Styles?
By Karen Sommerfeld|August 08, 2014
Times Have Changed
It's no surprise that each generation is different. Those who came of age during the Victorian era were likely worlds apart from the next generation, who reached young adulthood during the roaring '20s. But is it necessary to market to people based on their generation? Are Baby Boomers (born 1946 to 1964), Gen Xers (born 1965 to 1979) and Millennials (born 1980 to 2000) really so different that they need different marketing ploys according to shopping styles?
In many ways, yes. Consider the biggest cultural influence of the Baby Boomers: The Beatles. For Gen X? It was The Brady Bunch (go ahead, ask anyone from that generation who George Glass was). Millennials? Their influence was, above all else, the Internet. And it's theorized that the Internet makes Millennials purchase decisions different from the generations before them. Well, that and the economy.
Putting the "Boom" in "Boomers"
Baby Boomers are still the largest of these three generations, and they have the most money to spend. Baby Boomers outspend other generations by an estimated $400 billion each year on consumer goods and services (U.S. Government Consumer Expenditure Survey).
This spending power is impressive and shouldn't be ignored, but keep in mind how Boomers spend that money. One thing this generation hates to admit is that they're aging, and they're slower than their younger counterparts when it comes to embracing new technology. Emarketer.com reports that while Internet users aged 50–69 go online to compare prices, what really motivates them is good old television advertising.
This group also owns fewer smartphones than Gen Xers or Millennials, and they use mobile devices for comparison shopping less often—they're big users of home computers if they're going online to purchase or research.
The Younger Crowd
Generation Xers do embrace the cell phone, and they're not afraid to use smartphones and tablets to shop. DestinationCRM.com reports that 49% of Gen X owns a smartphone and they use it to not only shop but, like the generation before them, to research products. Nelson Barber, an associate professor of hospitality management at the University of New Hampshire, said that "Generation X is very motivated to search for purchase-related information … Generation Xers tend to use information … as assurance that they are not being taken advantage of by marketers."
Millennials, he said, are less driven by the worry that they're being swindled and are more concerned with fitting in. "Generation Y selects and consumes products that help them achieve their goals of blending in with the crowd or a certain group," Barber said.
But this younger group has a less frivolous side, says Claire Suddath in Bloomberg BusinessWeek. She says that since the downturn in the economy, "Millennials have a little less disposable income than they expected, which means that consumer companies are now changing to serve them. It turns out that today's 18-to-34 set likes clothes and gadgets and cool stuff just as much as earlier cohorts; they just don't buy quite so much." In fact, a study by immersionactive.com says that Baby Boomers outspend younger adults online 2:1 on a per-capita basis. The biggest challenge might be getting Millennials to part with their hard-earned cash.
When they do buy, Millennials also do research online, like their Gen X and Boomer counterparts. But according to a study by the Intelligence Group, they "prioritize access over ownership," so if they can download something right now rather than wait, they will. They'd rather download a book than hold a hardcover, or get the song into their iTunes rather than own the CD.
The Internet Influences All
The three generations may be motivated by different things and look at different media to gather information—but it's evident that the World Wide Web has influenced how everyone makes purchases and their shopping style. It seems too early to write off the old forms of marketing just yet. One study from Mooseylvania even found that Millennials are still influenced by television advertising.
So tell us … what motivates you in a purchasing decision? Look at your age group and see if you match up with the shopping style research. We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below.

Jimmy was out hunting for filth that night so I was alone. A quick call to OneByOne was made and within a couple of hours we were sat on the clothing giants rooftop with Sui.
I had read up about the secret ballroom and diner that was above the store and that it had been left in ruin for many years, I didn't really believe the stories until I saw it. Massive thanks to Chels for lending me her Nikon while my camera is in for repair, its appreciated!

Remember the other day when I mentioned how Mina got invited to some awesome shows? Count Jill Stuart among them. For fall, Stuart showed a lot of party dresses, many of them in interesting textures, and many of them in black—by the way, for fall 2013, black is the new black. Really.
In her program notes, Mara Hoffman noted that she "wanted to embrace what we do best with this collection and give our girls what they love most—color, prints, and wearable yet unique silhouettes." I couldn't describe her fall 2013 collection better myself. All of Hoffman's signature elements were there, but they felt anything but stale. In fact, Hoffman seemed invigorated. She translated her signature mystical-folkloric prints into embroideries, decorating everything from pretty chiffon gowns to jackets paired with coordinating pants. She also layered a lot of looks—perfectly cozy ponchos, embellished caftans, and gorgeous-looking belted coats—over leather leggings, which is good news, because I just bought a pair and they are the bomb. And lest I forget the dresses, they came in all shapes, from short and snug to floor-sweeping and voluminous. If you're like me, you'll probably want one of each.
Can you believe Christian Siriano has been showing at Fashion Week for 10 seasons now? By leaps and bounds, the most successful Project Runway contestant to date, Siriano now has his own store in Nolita in addition to his ongoing shoe line for Payless, and his clothes are carried everywhere from Neiman Marcus nationwide to tony boutiques like Stanley Korshak and Neopolitan. And his show this season was packed to the rafters with buyers, journalists, and celebrities (I spotted Brad Goreski, Jamie King, and Ashlee Simpson in the front row), which is always a good sign, as were the cluster of crystal chandeliers dangling over the runway. Fall was an ode to the Russian Opera, primarily in black in gold. Siriano's day looks were primarily the former, with interesting textured knits, lots of leather, and faux-fur accents, while for evening, he let loose with gold filigree, beading, and sequins on tulle and mesh backing. It was all, as Siriano would say on Project Runway, ferosh.
I spend some days at Fashion Week 100% in the tents at Lincoln Center, and I spend some running all over town—many designers, like Siriano, show in gallery spaces in Chelsea, and then there's Milk Studios in the Meatpacking District, which I'd been avoiding for several seasons after the dreaded Stairway Incident. But after Siriano and a breaky-break at the Hotel Gansevoort, the last thing I felt like doing was schlepping back uptown, so I made a little switcheroo in my schedule and headed to Milk for Alexandre Herchcovitch, and let me tell you, I'm glad I did. Herchcovitch is generally quite avant-garde and thus usually not my cup of tea, but his fall collection was equally beautiful and witty. The colors and prints were quite lovely, evocative of a garden, and while the first few looks were pretty straightforward, slowly, as the show went on, the clothes seemed to fall apart like petals. Herchcovitch drew an even more interesting parallel with the last series of looks, which exposed lingerie while the models' dresses hung around their waists in a state of déshabillé. I had a smile on my face the entire time, which just goes to show, maybe sometimes you need to try a different flavor of tea—you never know what you might end up liking.

Sharktopus, or Why You Should Not Go to Mexico Without a Big Nuclear Spear Gun
May 5, 2015 September 14, 2020 by plsullivan62
In Declan O'Brien's Sharktopus (2010) there are two problems.
The first is how to get as many taut firm young bikini-clad bodies in the film as possible.
The second is, inexplicably, how to keep those bikinis firmly in place.
In a film that requires an unusually robust suspension of disbelief — not just for the Sharktopus itself, but for the laptop that never runs out of juice and boots up in seconds, the cell phone that always gets service, the magic machine gun with the eternal supply of bullets — the idea that all these panic-stricken bathing beauties can run away from a giant mutant man-eating ambulatory shark/octopus without losing a bikini top here or there simply won't do.
This is why the SyFy Channel should not be allowed to make movies — even if the producer is Roger Corman.
A SyFy movie has to be shown on the SyFy Channel, which is readily available to every Tom, Dick and Methodist.
That in turn means no nekkidity, no cussing, and none of the other elements that make the cinema the great art form it is today — like sex scenes interrupted by a giant mutant man-eating ambulatory shark/octopus, for instance.
There's some plot I won't bore you with, except that it's that darn old military-industrial complex fiddling around with the genetic balance again. Amazingly, the movie does not blame George W. Bush. For anything.
We're talking bikinis galore, all occupied and none in transition, for an automatic one-coil deduction.
Fire-dancing routine for stupid fat tourists entertainingly interrupted by Sharktopus. Boat, Volkswagen convertible eaten by same. Spoiled whiny girl who reminded me of my last girlfriend so much that I cheered when she was neatly plucked from the bungee jump by Sharktopus. Head popping. Tentacle fu. Confusing subplot that ends happily when annoying TV reporter gets mauled. Confusing subplot that ends happily when pirate radio deejay gets mauled.
With some mild nudity, this could have been a truly noteworthy film. With lots of utterly pointless and gratuitous nudity, this could have been a serious contender for an Iron Coil — right up there with heavyweights like Bloodsucking Freaks, Zombie Lake and Ilsa: She-Wolf of the SS.
As it is, Sharktopus gets full marks for funny story and not wasting a lot of time on plot; the special effects are just as goofy as they need to be; and at 89 minutes it's a sandwich and a seltzer kinda deal.
Three coils
Convents and Roses and Nuns, Oh My!

Diabetes is a disorder that affects the way the body utilizes food for energy. Under normal circumstances, the sugar that is taken in through food is broken down into glucose. Glucose circulates in the blood waiting to be called upon to be used as fuel. The hormone that is responsible for moving the glucose to fuel the cells is called insulin and it is produced by the pancreas. In the case of a healthy body, the pancreas regulates the amount of insulin released according to the level of glucose in the blood. When diabetes is present, this system breaks down and blood sugar levels become very high due to the failure of the pancreas to produce enough insulin to balance the glucose.
Over time these high levels of glucose in the blood, if left untreated, create problems in the body. Diabetes can lead to blindness, kidney failure and nerve damage. If there is nerve damage in the legs and feet then a person may not feel heat, cold or pain. This lack of feeling is called sensory diabetic neuropathy. If there is a loss of feeling and a person sustains a cut or injury, then that cut may become infected and create poisoning in the blood. Diabetes also affects blood flow and without good blood flow, it takes much longer for a cut or wound to heal. Poor circulation in the arms and legs is called peripheral vascular disease and is another possible result of diabetes. If this condition is present there is a risk for developing ulcers or gangrene in the extremities.
Common foot problems can escalate into very serious issues for a person with diabetes. They can lead to infection and even to amputation in some extreme cases. Diabetics should never walk around barefoot because even the smallest cut can be a source of untold problems. Well fitting shoes with absorbent socks are an absolute must and diabetics should see a professional for proper care of their toenails. The doctor should also inspect their feet at every visit, and the person should be checking their feet and nails every day. Treating any small problem promptly will help circumvent a potentially serious situation. Foot problems can ultimately affect the toenails, creating infections on and under the nails.
Fungal nail infections can be difficult to treat and, even if they are successfully treated, it is not uncommon for the fungus to return. For the person with diabetes, this means a constant vigilance over the condition of their feet and nails to avoid potential complications. If the foot and area around the nails becomes painful, inflamed or draining pus, call the doctor. Take extra care to ensure the skin is clean and dry and if there is a fungal infection on the nails or a case of athlete's foot, it is very important that a thorough hand washing with soap and hot water follows every contact with the infected areas so as to avoid spreading the infection.

Pocantico Hills
Sleepy Hollow is a village in the town of Mount Pleasant in Westchester County. The village is located on the east bank of the Hudson River.
Immortalized in Washington Irving's famous tale, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, this quiet Village has preserved much of its history and natural beauty. Initially an agricultural district, Sleepy Hollow later became a manufacturing center, producing items such as steam-powered automobiles, shoes, and batteries. Around the turn-of-the-century, Sleepy Hollow's bucolic setting and close proximity to Manhattan attracted millionaires like Anson Phelps, Ambrose Kingsland and John D. Rockefeller, who built beautiful mansions in the area, some of which are open to the public.
The village is home to the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, where Washington Irving, Andrew Carnegie, Walter P. Chrysler,Brooke Astor, Elizabeth Arden, Thomas J. Watson of IBM, Samuel Gompers, and many others are buried. Philipsburg Manor House and the Old Dutch Church of Sleepy Hollow are located in the village as well. In the year of the Half Moon, 1609, the two square miles that make up the Village of Sleepy Hollow belonged to the larger domain of the Weckquaesgeck Indians. This Native American tribe is variously described as a Delaware Tribe or a Mohican Tribe, or perhaps some mix of the two.
In 1655 Adriaen Van der Donck, a Dutch colonist, first published a work which referred to the Pocantico River as Slapershaven or, literally, Sleepers' Haven. Sleepy Hollow appears to be a later, Anglicized version of this name and actually applied to the valley of the Pocantico River. It now serves as the name of the incorporated village.
In the late 1790s Washington Irving came to visit his friend and relative, James K. Paulding, in Tarrytown. Together the two young men explored the area of Sleepy Hollow, hunting and fishing and talking with local folk. The fruits of Irving's visits were later to be immortalized in the story "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow." In it the father of American literature drew heavily from Sleepy Hollow's landscape and customs.
The industrial age had brought economic opportunity to the village, but it had also brought a fading awareness of the village's unique historic and cultural legacy.
