In Tested in Every Way, Ruddy shares the insights gleaned at the "Priests in the Church" conference organized by the Catholic Common Ground Initiative. The book covers topics that emerged at this important gathering including conversion, forgiveness, lay ministry, generational differences, cultural literacy, the priest as icon, and celibacy, and interweaves conference presentations with other theologically relevant points of view.
The ensuing discussion presents a balanced perspective that moves beyond current paralyzing impasses towards an authentic renewal of the priestly vocation.

I recently had an idea to have a sliding barn door for my family room to replace a set of french doors. My vision was 1 large door with a rustic feel to it. I wanted the material to be re-claimed or salvaged wood, and I knew this is what Jeff Baker Woodworks was all about! Having seen some of his art in the past, this was whom I wanted for the job. Jeff is a professional and his attention to detail is nothing shy of incredible! He totally blew me away! I highly recommend them and will absolutely use them for any future projects. This is one very happy client!
Jeff has made several pieces of furniture for my family and I. A lot of friends have used him as well. I also have been hiring Jeff to create personalized premium cheeseboards with custom engravings for my clients for several years. On top of this, he His craftsmanship is beyond amazing. I can't recommend him enough. Also the fact his products are dedicated to being sustainable makes it even better.


Wow here we are in December and already one third of the way through the school year. Take it from me there is no better place to be than in a primary school in the run up to Christmas and 5M are full of anticipation and excitement about all that school has to offer them over the coming month. The smiling happy faces of the children are a joy to see.
Can I take this opportunity to thank all those parents and carers who came along to our family reading session on 30th November. It was lovely to have you joining in with our reading and it was the perfect way to demonstrate to both your own child, and their classmates, how much you value what happens in school as we seek to develop the children into well rounded and confident readers. We will do this again so please join us.
Prior to the fun of the festive season we have been working hard on our termly assessments. All the children in 5M were assessed on their reading, spelling, grammar, writing and maths skills and knowledge. These assessments were rigorous and certainly tested the children but I am very pleased to say that each and every child in our class did their best and gave 100% effort. The results reflect this and all the children should be very proud of themselves. I will use the results to plan for our work next term.
Our Christmas production is shaping up nicely so please save the date so you can come to one of our two performances. The daytime performance is at 2.00 pm on Monday 10th December and our evening performance is at 6.00 pm on Tuesday 11th December. The children have been telling me that when they practise their singing at home family members have been joining in! I'm looking forward to seeing whole families singing along at the performances.
Our class assembly on Monday 19th November was based on our learning about Anglo Saxons and the children did a fantastic job sharing their knowledge. The hall was full of our families and friends who came to watch and support us and the children were delighted with themselves. Our songs were the highlight of the assembly and we all enjoyed hearing the admiring comments and congratulations we received from fellow pupils in other classes, school based adults and our families. It was a really positive experience for all the children in 5M so thank you for coming along.
There are a many diary dates for December so here are the main ones: Christmas jumper day on Wednesday 19th, Christmas dinner on Thursday 20th, party day on Thursday 20th and the last day of term on Friday 21st December.
Once again I would like to thank everyone associated with 5M for the support you have given us this term and Mrs Day, Mrs Ives and I wish you all a happy and safe Christmas and New Year.

Peek Inside The Caribbean's Largest Hotel Suite
Read more on how The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman, Seven South Penthouse has been dubbed the largest hotel suite in the Caribbean. The Seven South Penthouse and adjoining two-bedroom suites span nearly 18,000 square feet.
The largest hotel suite in the Caribbean recently opened its doors to the public at The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman. Dubbed Seven South, the sparkling penthouse and adjoining two-bedroom suites span nearly 18,000 square feet on the top floor of the hotel's Ocean Tower.
The suite comes with nine bedrooms (a three-bedroom penthouse that costs $25,000 per night and the option to add three adjoining two-bedroom suites), a movie theater, a kitchen, a dining room, an office and an expansive deck overlooking the white sand and crystalline waters of Seven Mile Beach.
Inspiration for Seven South came from an unlikely place. The Grand Cayman hotel's general manager, Marc Langevin, visited Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star The Ritz-Carlton, Kyoto and was struck by the design. He wanted to bring the same sense of simplicity to the penthouse, which is why it's filled with natural elements like earthy woods, stone and glass. And it also sports lots of curves, from the ceiling cutouts to the dining room shape to the rounded edges of the plush fainting couch.
Designers at The Johnson Studio at Cooper Carry (whose other work include Fearing's Restaurant at The Ritz-Carlton, Dallas and Manzanita at The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe also looked to yacht interiors when creating the palatial light-wood-filled penthouse.
"You can come from the beach in your bathing suit and feel comfortable," Langevin says. "We were able to design something luxury and casual or natural."
Most of the penthouse revolves around Seven Mile Beach. The sand and turquoise color scheme recalls the hues outside, the living room and three bedrooms have floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the beach, and a wraparound terrace with a circular daybed, loungers, a dining table, a fire pit and an alfresco shower provides a panoramic perch, especially at sunset.
While the water vistas are the undisputable main attraction, our favorite part of Seven South is the master bathroom (though it also has its own door and a balcony that faces the ocean). Azul macauba and Cipollino Cremo Tirreno marbles cover the space, and the swirling cobalt veins give the walls and double sink a delightful flowing effect. Take in the bold graphic marble from the white circular standalone tub or the sizeable glass-walled stall with two rainforest showers.
Other rooms may not be as vivid, but they are still striking. The kitchen mixes tan and gray stone counters with a sleek silver Gaggenau oven and built-in espresso maker. In the dining room, 14 white padded chairs line the oval herringbone wood table, and a chandelier resembling aqua beach glass hangs above it. Bolivian rosewood and volakas marble coat the rooms' floors.
Seven South also comes with a host of other perks, including round-trip airport transfers, a private elevator, a beach cabana and a personal assistant. However, the most memorable extra may be the personalized souvenir you receive upon checkout.
The luxury hotel tapped Jamaican-born, Cayman-based artist Shane Aquârt, who goes by Dready, to create a digital artwork for the suite's living room that captures the waterfront view from Seven South's terrace. Dready got his start at the hotel's Art Wall bridge — one of the island's major galleries, the 300-foot walkway showcases local artists using a variety of media. He became the Art Wall bridge's bestselling artist, and you can find a collection of his playful, vibrantly colored pieces depicting Caribbean life on exhibit there.
As part of your stay, Dready will customize a smaller 14-by-7-inch version of the same work on display in the suite, adding your party to the balcony scene, your name and the date. It's a way to take that Seven South vista home with you. If only you could do the same with that exquisite blue bathroom.

Evolution of Stellar Feedback from Reionization to The Milky Way: A Diverse Toolset of Imaging, Spectroscopy, and Modelling for Understanding the Impact of Massive Stars
Wednesday 08 Sep 2021 @ 10:00 a.m., Zoom
Grace Olivier, Ohio State University; Email: olivier.15[at]buckeyemail.osu.edu
Massive stars contribute incredible amounts of energy to their surroundings across a variety of environments in the universe. Before their exciting deaths, massive stars produce feedback through a number of mechanisms that are frequently used in subgrid physics models in galaxy simulations to create realistic galaxies. Observations are a key to anchoring these simulations in reality, but there has been limited work on this front, especially for the youngest, embedded HII regions. I explore the effects of direct radiation pressure, dust-processed radiation pressure, photoionization heating and shock-heating from stellar winds in a sample of young HII regions (sources with radii < 0.5 pc) and determine which is the most important for very young stars. This analysis suggests radiative feedback on dust drives the earliest stages of HII region expansion. Additionally, I study the effects of radiative feedback in an exciting population of extremely low-metallicity star-forming galaxies th
at have been discovered in the local universe which are analogues to Reionization Era galaxies. During the Epoch of Reionization radiative feedback played a significant role in shaping the universe, and such analogues give us a detailed laboratory to explore the effects from feedback. I present deep FUV and optical spectra of two of these extreme emission line galaxies that have strong very-high-ionization optical and FUV emission lines (e.g., CIV, HeII, [FeV], [ArIV]). I demonstrate that canonical photoionization models, using typical stellar population models, catastrophically fail to reproduce the high-ionization emission lines. I constrain the stellar population properties using the FUV spectral features and explore the deficiencies of current stellar models. By simultaneously fitting the stellar and nebular emission within these extremely high-ionization emission line galaxies, I provide new observational benchmarks of radiative feedback for the next generation of stellar mode
ls at very low metallicity. By studying the effects of stellar feedback from single stars in the Milky Way to entire stellar populations in analogues to the first galaxies we can begin to build a coherent picture of stellar feedback as it impacts the vast scales of the universe.

Q: Can't concat bytes to str This is proving to be a rough transition over to python. What is going on here?:
f = open( 'myfile', 'a+' )
f.write('test string' + '\n')

key = "pass:hello"
plaintext = subprocess.check_output(['openssl', 'aes-128-cbc', '-d', '-in', test, '-base64', '-pass', key])
print (plaintext)

f.write (plaintext + '\n')
f.close()

The output file looks like:
test string
and then I get this error:
b'decryption successful\n'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File ".../Project.py", line 36, in <module>
    f.write (plaintext + '\n')
TypeError: can't concat bytes to str

A: subprocess.check_output() returns a bytestring.
In Python 3, there's no implicit conversion between unicode (str) objects and bytes objects. If you know the encoding of the output, you can .decode() it to get a string, or you can turn the \n you want to add to bytes with "\n".encode('ascii')

A: You can convert type of plaintext to string:
f.write(str(plaintext) + '\n')

A: subprocess.check_output() returns bytes.
so you need to convert '\n' to bytes as well:
 f.write (plaintext + b'\n')

hope this helps

A: f.write(plaintext)
f.write("\n".encode("utf-8"))

Alissa Baldwin Pledges to Support Term Limits on Congress
U.S. Term Limits issued the following announcement on Jan. 3.
U.S. Term Limits (USTL), the leader in the non-partisan national movement to limit terms for elected officials, praises 2020 U.S. senate candidate for Virginia, Alissa Baldwin, for signing the pledge for an amendment to term limit Congress. Previously, Daniel Gade also signed the pledge. The primary election is scheduled for June 9 , 2020.
U.S. Term Limits has the support of nearly 70 pledge signers in Congress. USTL President Philip Blumel commented on Baldwin's and Gade's pledges saying, "Alissa's and Daniel's support of term limits shows that there are individuals who are willing to put self-interest aside to follow the will of the people. America needs a Congress that will be served by citizen legislators, not career politicians."
Baldwin says, "I fully support term limits to ensure Congress represents the people who elect Senators and Representatives. Too many forget it is intended as public service and instead remain there as career politicians."
The U.S. Term Limits amendment pledge is provided to every announced candidate for federal office. It reads, "I pledge that as a member of Congress, I will cosponsor and vote for the U.S. Term Limits amendment of three (3) House terms and two (2) Senate terms and no longer limit." The U.S. Term Limits constitutional amendment has been introduced in both the U.S. Senate by Senator Ted Cruz (SJR1) and the U.S. House by Representative Francis Rooney (HJR20).
Blumel noted, "We have seen a dramatic increase in supporters wanting term limits on Congress. More than 82% of Americans have rejected the career politician model and want to replace it with citizen leadership. The way to achieve that goal is through congressional term limits."
According to a 2018 nationwide poll on term limits conducted by McLaughlin & Associates, term limits enjoy wide bipartisan support. McLaughlin's analysis states, "Support for term limits is broad and strong across all political, geographic and demographic groups. An overwhelming 82% of voters approve of a constitutional amendment that will place term limits on members of Congress."
Blumel concluded, "America is in trouble. Our career politicians have let the people down. It is time to return control of our nation to the people. It is time for a constitutional amendment limiting congressional terms."
The term limits amendment resolutions would require a two-thirds majority in the House and Senate, and ratification by 38 states, in order to become part of the U.S. Constitution.
Congressional term limits is the one bipartisan issue supported by both President Trump and former President Obama.

Suzanne Willard can't judge her own performances, but if audience reaction to her turn in The Wolves of Savin Hill is anything to go by she has nothing to worry about. Willard gives a stupendous performance in writer-director John Beaton Hill's buzzed-about crime thriller, which is currently winning raves (and trophies) at film festivals around the country.
Firstly, how has your involvement in Wolves of Savin Hill, now an 'Award Winning' film, benefited your career? Have you noticed an increase in calls, yet?
I have had a slight increase in auditions. I feel that the more festivals/awards that the film is nominated for, the more notice all the amazing talent will have in the future.
Has being involved in something so well-written and, for lack of a better word, 'classy', made you pickier?
The film is a crime movie like those of the Nixon-era, but it's also rather unique. What appealed to you about it?
My back round is mostly comedy, so when this opportunity arouse to play such a strong character, I jumped at the chance.
Where were the majority of your scenes shot?
My scenes were shot in many locations but all within the LA area.
How does John Beaton Hill work as a filmmaker? Was there any indication that this was his 'first' film?
I think John is an excellent filmmaker. As with all filmmaking nothing works perfectly. There are always hiccups and you are always learning.
I absolutely can watch myself just do not ask me to critic myself.
I am always in the mix and currently cannot talk about my next project, but you will see me soon.
Having had experience in the medical field – were you also the on-set nurse?
I have not practiced in the field for several years but if I were to be on set and something were to tragically happen I would jump right in to help.


We have an opportunity for an Assistant / Junior M&E Quantity Surveyor for a prestigious project in the Cambridge region for a well-established M&E business. You will be work alongside a team of 3 experienced Quantity Surveyors and given the relevant training and support to develop your career within the M&E sector.
Ideally my client is looking for a minimum of 1 years' experience within either surveying or estimating within the M&E sector.


Two deputies in Trenton (FL) were killed in the line of duty on Thursday.
Around 4 p.m., the deputies, with the Gilchrist County Sheriff's Office, were shot and killed in a suspected ambush, according to the Holmes County Sheriff's Office.
The shooting occurred on SR-26 and East Wade Street in Trenton, Florida. Trenton is approximately two hours north of Tampa Bay.
Sources indicate that the deputies were killed in a restaurant. The suspect has also been killed.
Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi said: "My heart breaks with the tragic news of two Gilchrist County deputies that were senselessly killed today while in the line of duty.
"The daily risk that law enforcement officers take to protect our communities is overwhelming. My deepest condolences and prayers are with their families as they mourn the devastating loss of their loved ones.
The identities of the deputies and the suspect has not yet been released.

Donald Trump's Racism Is Wholly Unacceptable And Disqualifying
The Republican Party presumptive nominee Donald Trump has a long history of racist remarks.
by Roy Steele
In the week after the Orlando massacre, I had the television on and was startled to hear Donald Trump shouting LGBT during a speech he was struggling with. He isn't used to saying LGBT, and his remarks were insincere. He even managed to mangle the simple acronym. I guess we can add the gay community to the list of groups he is pandering to.
It's important to be clear that Donald Trump is NOT a friend of the gay community. He never has been and never will be. We know that he's no friend to the Latino community. No one can forget his specious claim that Mexicans are "bringing drugs, they're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people." The Mexican people are 'good people' and Trump is not 'good people.'
I strongly believe that reality television host Donald Trump is unqualified to be president, and I presumed that most people agree with me. I've looked at some early polls and it's clear that Trump has strong support in Texas and the deep south and some states in the midwest, and I was surprised by that. I've got some work to do, and we all have some work to do, to convince a majority of people that Donald Trump is unfit for any office.
Trump's most vocal critics during the primary season have been members of his own party. Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) have both characterized the presumptive nominee as xenophobic and racist and reiterated the charge when his comments about the heritage of Judge Gonzalo P. Curiel went too far. In my opinion, being a racist should disqualify ANY candidate from running for higher office.
Donald Trump's New York real-estate businesses have been sued twice by the Department of Justice for racial discrimination. While the Trump Organization settled the cases, there was enough evidence to file the complaints.
In 1989 a twenty-eight-year-old woman was jogging in New York's Central Park, and she was brutally raped and assaulted. One Hispanic and four African-American teens were charged and wrongly convicted of the crime. Trump placed full-page ads in New York newspapers demanding the death penalty for the five defendants. Writing for The Guardian, Oliver Laughland describes how Trump inserted himself into the debate surrounding the fate of the Central Park Five, and the racist remarks that continue to haunt the GOP candidate.
Just two weeks after the Central Park attack, before any of the boys had faced trial and while Meili remained critically ill in a coma, Donald Trump, whose office on Fifth Avenue commanded an exquisite view of the park's opulent southern frontier, intervened.
He paid a reported $85,000 to take out advertising space in four of the city's newspapers, including the New York Times. Under the headline "Bring Back The Death Penalty. Bring Back The Police!" and above his signature, Trump wrote: "I want to hate these muggers and murderers. They should be forced to suffer and, when they kill, they should be executed for their crimes. They must serve as examples so that others will think long and hard before committing a crime or an act of violence."
One year after the Central Park Five were convicted, John O'Donnell, a former executive who ran Trump Plaza hotel and casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey, published a tell-all alluding to his former boss's casual racism behind closed doors.
He quoted Trump as saying: "I've got black accountants at Trump Castle and at Trump Plaza. Black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day."
In a later interview with Playboy magazine, Trump labeled his former employee a "fucking loser" but added: "The stuff O'Donnell wrote about me is probably true."
Donald Trump swears that he "has the best words" and is a very good judge of character. If he had his way, five innocent teenagers would have been executed and there are no words to justify or explain away his assertions. He is trigger happy with his mouth, trigger happy on twitter, and could be trigger happy with nuclear codes.
His disdain for Barack Obama was entirely motivated by race. The crazy people who blindly supported Trump's 'birther' conspiracy theory never seemed to realize that even if Obama was born in Kenya, he had an American mother and therefore would still be an American citizen. WTF?
If a majority of the American people elect a racist bigot to be our president, the fabric of our nation will be destroyed. I hope that we can all work to ensure that Trump never gets the keys to the Oval office. Racism has no place in our society and we all have to work together to eradicate racial bias.
Those are MY best words and I pray they make a difference.

Is it Time to Give Capital Punishment the Death Penalty?
Patrick March 15, 2019 no commentCapital PunishmentFaithGovernment
How should Christians feel about the death penalty? The Bible calls for an 'eye for an eye,' but is that still supposed to apply today?
This week, California Gov. Gavin Newsom put a halt to the execution of more than 737 inmates on death row. The governor told reporters the death penalty is "inconsistent with our bedrock values."
"I do not believe that a civilized society can claim to be a leader in the world as long as its government continues to sanction the premeditated and discriminatory execution of its people," Newsom said.
As long as he's governor, Newsom plans to maintain a moratorium on capital punishment in place.
Is the death penalty anti-Christian?
I've heard some progressive Christians argue against capital punishment. One of them, Shane Claiborne, attributed his change of heart to a "deeper theology" and a closer look at the Bible as well as becoming friends with "murder victims' family members that are against the death penalty."
As far as I know, I don't have any friends who are family members of murder victims who happen to be against the death penalty. Years ago, I was friends with a woman whose husband was murdered in the 1970s by two men who robbed him at his business. The two men convicted of the crime, she said, told the family that they would escape from death row and kill all of them. The family waited something like 22 years for the death sentence to be carried out.
Claiborne says his friends who are against capital punishment claim it doesn't provide closure. It seemed to provide some level of closure for the family I knew.
I remember a story from several years ago in my area. An older woman had been murdered. She was described as a kind, loving woman who was a faithful member of her church. I'll never forget an interview I saw with her pastor who was asked whether the man who killed her should face capital punishment.
His answer was something along the lines of, "We believe in forgiveness, but we also believe in justice."
Forgiveness, of course, can be a very powerful thing. When a 21-year-old white supremacist killed nine people at a Charleston church, several of the family members who attended his bond hearing right after the murders spoke at the hearing and said they forgave him.
I was amazed by their faith. I don't know that I'd be able to say that within 48 hours after such a horrible loss. I'd hope I could get to that point eventually…but I doubt I could do it that quickly.
I've heard from many Christians over the years who claimed to be pro-life, insisting that every life is precious. But most of them were also pro-death penalty, only too happy to repeat the Old Testament philosophy of "an eye for an eye."
It's a mystery to me why they can't see how ironic that is.
It's worth noting that Newsom's stance against the death penalty seems to be more about social justice than religious views. In a statement, he called the death penalty "a failure" that discriminates against those who are "mentally ill, black and brown, or can't afford expensive legal representation." That's at least as important a concern that should be dealt with.
Pope Francis has said the death penalty should not be allowed in any circumstance.
The National Association of Evangelicals states they affirm the apostle Paul's writings that governments "are called to administer justice to protect citizens and preserve the common good." But it also points to 258 wrongfully convicted people in the first decade of the 21st century who have been exonerated due to the introduction of DNA evidence.
Twenty of those people, they say, were serving time on death row. Without the DNA evidence to clear them, they would have been put to death for a crime they did not commit.
Human systems, including, unfortunately, our justice system, are flawed because they're run by humans. That means that problems like racism and economic standing can far too easily get in the way of justice itself.
NAE goes on to cite portions of Ezekiel 33:
"I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn from their ways and live. … If someone who is wicked repents, that person's former wickedness will not bring condemnation."
So where's the line? If it's a capital crime and the convicted repents, should they automatically not get the death penalty?
If it's a lesser crime with a life sentence imminent upon conviction and the convicted repents, do we then just set them free?
Is what sounds like a genuine apology — for only God knows what's inside the guilty party's heart — grounds for no punishment at all?
And in the case of the death penalty, is a sentence requiring someone to spend the rest of their lives — sometimes 30, 40, or 50 years or more — in a prison system we've all heard stories about truly somehow merciful?
Too many people seem to delude themselves into thinking those with a life sentence somehow have it easy: three meals a day and they don't have to work to make ends meet like the "rest" of us do. None of those people, I'm wagering, would be willing to "improve" their own situation by voluntarily moving into a penal institution.
I really don't have an answer here.
In the past, I've argued support for the death penalty. I've always believed that some crimes are so heinous that those who commit them deserve immediate judgment from God, and the death penalty on Earth sends them to that judgement that much faster.
Perhaps, God is truly more merciful than we give Him credit for, and those who are put to death in this life are immediately welcome to heaven, their atonement already considered "paid in full."
But that's God's business, not ours.
I do think that a death sentence should only be imposed where guilt is undeniable by solid evidence. Then again, the number of cases of those wrongly accused who were cleared by DNA evidence may mean we should do one more round of evidence-checking before committing such a punishment.
Carrying out capital punishment on even one innocent person is unacceptable. And inexcusable.
But a life sentence for an innocent person should be considered equally unacceptable, and those instances have occurred.
So where do we draw the line? When, if ever, is capital punishment acceptable?
And when is any punishment, regardless of length or finality, too much to fit the crime itself?

Learn how to value and analyze stocks effectively.
Liquidation valuation, net net stocks, and when trying to determine the stock price relative to a stock's net assets. Does not work well for service or low asset companies such as software.
When Ben Graham was around, the main types of businesses that existed were industrial businesses. Mainly factories, manufacturers and retailers. There were no consulting, software, or high tech companies you see today. He would analyze the balance sheet and invest in stocks with high tangible assets as it protected the downside.
Cyclical companies, volatile cash flows, growth stocks, and young companies investing in growth.
Ben Graham was a balance sheet investor first and foremost, but he created this formula to simulate growth investing with value investing principles.
Companies with consistent free cash flow, predictable companies.
It has its weaknesses and advantages which is discussed in the link below, but overall, it is a highly effective stock valuation method to value predictable companies. Making realistic projections to test a range of valuation scenarios is key.
Any situation when you want to figure out what the market is expecting from the stock.
A backwards stock valuation to find what the market is expecting from the stock.
Instead of entering the future growth rate, the goal is to find out what the market is expecting the stock to achieve.
Instead of basing your stock valuation on what a competitor is being valued as the benchmark, the multiple is calculated based on the business fundamentals. Created by Vitaliy Katsenelson, author of ACTIVE VALUE INVESTING.
Used by many on Wall Street and a good back of the envelope stock valuation method. It has the advantage of being simple and concise. EBIT is the main driver of the valuation which makes it applicable for all companies.
Calculate asset value by making adjustments to the balance sheet. Also used to see how much a competitor would have to spend in order to replicate the company's business.
In a way, this is a health and moat test. If the value of the balance sheet after making adjustments is strong, the company is protected by its assets. This value makes it easy to identify the floor for the stock.
If the asset reproduction value is high, then new entrants will have difficulty entering the market.
For all companies but even better for cyclical, volatile, and young companies.
This stock valuation method is best used in conjunction with the Asset Reproduction Value method. It is a technique for valuing stocks by making an assumption about the sustainability of current earnings and the cost of capital.
The version used at old school value does not factor in any growth.

Reflections on enclothed cognition: Commentary on Burns et al.
Hajo Adam, Adam D. Galinsky
The main objectives of this commentary are to discuss the replication study of Adam and Galinsky (2012, Experiment 1) by Burns, Fox, Greenstein, Olbright, and Montgomery, clarify the main idea behind enclothed cognition, supplement the literature review presented by Burns et al., discuss why our original study failed to replicate, and offer potential avenues for future research. Overall, we believe the replication study was conducted competently, and thus the results cast doubt on our finding that wearing a lab coat decreases errors on the Stroop test. At the same time, Burns et al. also identify several successful conceptual replications of our original effects, and we present additional studies that support an enclothed cognition perspective. The sum total of the available data suggests that the core principle of enclothed cognition—what we wear can influence how we think, feel, and act—is generally valid.

People thirsty for both beer and drama are prepping for Duck Duck Gooze Day, which happens April 15.
The ultra-limited gueuze produced by The Lost Abbey is only available for purchase once every three years and is made by blending batches of unfruited sour ale aged in oak barrels for one, two and three years. Adam Martinez, director of media and marketing at The Lost Abbey explains how the DDG phenomenon came to be.
"In Belgian brewing, there are fantastic, wild ales brewed with naturally occurring yeast. Duck Duck Gooze is our homage to these brews," says Martinez.
Traditionally, gueuze beer is a balanced, complex and relatively dry Belgian lambic that's highly effervescent and made by blending "old" and "new" beers of the same style. The aging process required to create the blend means that few breweries have both the financial capability and storage space to develop a true gueuze. This scarcity, coupled with the fact that most gueuzes are still manufactured outside the United States, means that the few thousand bottles of award-winning Duck Duck Gooze are something like a white whale in the craft beer community.
The first Duck Duck Gooze release took place in 2009, with subsequent releases in 2013 and 2016. DDG devotees are still reeling from both the 2013 and 2016 online sales, both of which were plagued with server crashes and rapid sellouts. 2016 was particularly brutal for The Lost Abbey; the first online sale attempt crashed the third-party ecommerce platform Nexternal's servers, leading to multiple postponements before they switched to BrownPaperTickets a few days later. Alas, BPT also crashed, forcing Lost Abbey to then move the sale to EventBrite. Thanks to a setup error, the brewery massively oversold their available inventory and was eventually forced to cancel all orders.
This beer boondoggle sparked severe backlash on social media, compelling Lost Abbey to post multiple apologies and explanations on the website and social media over the multi-week disaster. But Martinez assures me that this year's DDG sale should go smoothly.
Tickets will go on sale via EventBrite at noon on April 15. There's a four bottle limit per person, and each bottle is $45 plus EventBrite fees. As always, The Lost Abbey will not ship any bottles or allow proxies for pickup (meaning buyers cannot send someone else in their place). Pickup will take place during "Duck Days" on Saturday, May 11 and Sunday, May 12 at their San Marcos tasting room (155 Mata Way, Ste. 104).
People unable to acquire one of the precious bottles aren't completely out of luck. The Lost Abbey tends to hold back a few for special events and will occasionally tap a surprise keg at the brewery for fun. But Martinez thinks beer connoisseurs will be pleased with this year's blend. If the past years' demand is any indication, I have a feeling that even the most butthurt of beer nerds will be logging back on for their shot to snag this brag-worthy addition to any craft beer collection.

Q: Given $\lim_{x \to a} f(x) = L$, which of these does not necessarily exist as a finite real number? We have $f(x) > 0, \forall x \in \mathbb R$ $$\lim_{x \to a} f(x) = L$$
Which of these, if any, does not necessarily exist as a finite real number?
$$1. \lim_{x \to a} |f(x) - f(a)|$$
$$2. \lim_{x \to a} e^{f(x)}$$
$$3. \lim_{x \to a} \sqrt{f(x)}$$
$$4. \lim_{x \to a} \ln(f(x))$$
$$5. \lim_{x \to a} \frac{\sin(f(x))}{f(x)}$$
I think we have this other condition that $f(x)$ is continuous. I'm fairly certain $f(x)$ is not given to be differentiable.
So 1 and 2 seem to exist as for the others...

A: ...

*exists because $L \ge 0$

*may not exist if $L=0$

*seems like may not exist if $L=0$ and $f(x)$ is not differentiable if we try to use L'Hospital's rule such as with $f(x) = |x|$ and $L=0$
but it exists simply because
$$\lim_{x \to a} \frac{\sin(f(x))}{f(x)} = \lim_{u \to L=0}\frac{\sin u}{u} = 1$$

Honestly, the cappuccino and milkshake didn't taste all that good at Café de Flore. But I believe in ghosts and I wanted to connect to some of those great minds who parlayed in the cut of here, on the corner of Boulevard Saint-Germain and the Rue St. Benoit, at one time or another to get their artistic juices flowing: Hemingway, Capote, Satre, Picasso, Baldwin, Wright, the list goes on forever. I allowed myself to get lost in the romanticism of yesteryear, before computers, email, SMS texts, Twitter, Facebook and all those other distractions that have led to a decrease in the overall quality of cultural production.
But it was just an OK experience. No ghosts whispered in my ear or blew fairy dust that would cure me of this writer's block that has weighed me down for the last several months. Nada. Zilch.
And then came the bill. Man, the dollar is currently about $1.42 to the euro. I tried to imagine how much someone making minimum wage would have to work to afford a cup of coffee and a mediocre milkshake in this joint.
I read this today on the Economist.
So, with a tip, that would be about 5 hours of hard labor in NYC. Was it worth it? I'd say, yes. Paris, with all of its own issues (that aren't so different than ours) is just that haute.

Very clean, updated property close to airport with friendly and efficient staff. Ask for a room in the back, less noise from the road upfront.
Great location in proximity to airport and Venice mainland. Awesome customer service and room was very comfortable. Enjoyed the breakfast and atmosphere.
Nice property. Close to the airport. Bar and restaurant service are very substandard but not inexpensive.
The staff was very welcoming but the rooms were a little outdated and worn out.

Fruit Mania is one of the classic online slot games from German developer Bally Wulff, and it's been so successful that they have released a couple of versions, with the Golden Nights Bonus being the latest to hit the market. It keeps the very traditional and basic symbols of fruits, bells and 7's in the base games and adds a jackpot side game that sees chests full of coins taking players to some massive payouts.
Traditional fruit machines are still popular with players from around the world and in normal play, they don't get much more traditional than the Fruit Mania Golden Nights Bonus video slot, which has 5 reels, along with just 5 paylines running from the left side. Line a symbol up across a line on 3 or more consecutive reels and you win a prize, while those players who like to take a bit of an extra gamble can try to multiply the win over and over. There's very little in the way of elaborate design features in this slot, with the reels set against a plain background and the symbols quite simple pictures that have just a hint of light reflected on their surfaces to give them a subtle 3D effect.
Bally Wulff is based in Berlin, from where they have been developing games for land-based casinos since the 1950's. Now part of the SCHMIDT Group, which provides products for the IT, fitness and real estate markets, the gaming division continues to be one of the biggest suppliers in Europe. Hit slots such as Mystic Force and Explodiac can be found at numerous casinos and the Fruit Mania Golden Nights Bonus video slot is sure to be just as successful as the original version of this game.
As this slot game loads up, players will see the rooftops of a European city, lit up by fireworks, so it's clearly not just a standard fruit machine. Three paylines run horizontally across the 3 rows of symbols, while line 4 runs in a 'V' pattern across the reels and line 5 is an upside-down V. It's a simple, straightforward format that suits the simple nature of the basic game.
In normal play, all that's on the reels are oranges, plums and other classic symbols. The lowest value cherries will pay out 5x the line stake when they are seen on reels 1 and 2 across a line from the left side, while a full set of 5 cherry symbols across a payline will be worth 200x.
Going up in value, the other fruit symbols culminate in a watermelon, which returns prizes equal to 40x, 200x and 1,000x the line stake when seen on 3, 4, or 5 reels. A golden bell pays out a maximum win of 2,500x and the top prizes come from the red 7 symbol, with this traditional icon being worth 100x, 1,000x, or a massive 5,000x the line bet.
Like most slot games from Bally Wulff, this offers players not one, but two gamble features that can potentially multiply wins several times over, or just as easily lose the triggering bets. But each provides an extra layer of excitement to the game, so are popular options to take.
You can double a win by timing a click on red or black buttons as a playing card rapidly flashes between the colours, or go for the ladder feature where prize values flash at different levels of a ladder. In each case, it's all about the timing, so anyone with a keen sense can see their wins going up in value.
Alongside the standard control buttons, there's a Golden Nights Bonus button which increases the bet but can trigger a jackpot side game. The higher the stakes, the greater the chance of having the jackpot game awarded, while at the maximum wager, you will be eligible for a special Super Jewel award.
If the jackpot is triggered, you will see 3 chests which open up in turn, and should each be filled with gold coins, the main feature begins. A Golden Nights draw will see numbers appearing on a bar, while above it there's a numbered thermometer, with jackpot levels indicated on it. As the numbers are drawn, the temperature in the thermometer begins to rise, with luck passing through the Iron, Copper, Bronze, Silver and Gold levels to land at the Jewel jackpot.
Potential winnings range from just 20.00 for the Iron jackpot. Up to 10,000.00 for the jewels, but the Super Jewel award, which is reserved for players at the maximum stakes, is a huge 50.000.00.
You can wager with coin values from 0.01 per line, through to a high limit of 20.00, which equals total stakes from 0.05 to 100.00 per spin. Free Fruit Mania Golden Night Bonus video slots are provided by Bally Wulff, although with returns of over 96% in this game, you will be missing out on the potential to win real cash in the freeplay mode.
Clicking the Auto button can bring those wins in at a fast rate, as the reels spin away without any intervention needed, and they can be set for up to 250 auto spins, stopping when chosen win or loss limits are reached, or they will stop on their own when the feature starts.
Bally Wulff are experts in developing fruit machines and one of the best games of the genre is their Fancy Fruits video slot, which uses many identical symbols to Fruit Mania. It's a basic game however, where all that's needed is to land matching symbols across any of the 5 paylines, so will appeal to players who like the simple pleasures of classic slots.
Another company famed for this style of slot is the Novomatic casino games developer, which is based in Austria and like Bally Wulff, has a history stretching back over many decades. Arguably the most popular game in their range is Fruits and Sevens, which is a simple slot with an amazing jackpot to claimed by lucky spinners. The fruit flavoured fun begins when you line oranges, lemons and cherries across the 5 reels, but anyone who sees a payline filled with the classic red 7 symbol will instantly scoop the jackpot prize which can be worth millions of coins.
Are we mad for Fruit Mania Golden Nights Bonus?
It's perhaps unusual to see such a simple fruit machine with a fairly elaborate bonus feature, but we're certainly not complaining as the Golden Nights Bonus can lead to some huge prizes being paid out. It's not guaranteed that making the extra wager will lead to the feature, and we had the 3 treasure chests appearing quite often, only to find that not all of them were filled with coins, so the bonus wasn't triggered.
However, once it begins, a win of some sort is bound to be awarded, even if it's just one of the lower value Iron or Bronze prizes. A return to player percentage of over 96% means that you have a great chance to land big wins in this mobile optimised slot and like all Bally Wulff games, it's been fully certified for fairness by independent testing companies, so there's no reason not to take a look, play some rounds and collect some cash.

Home » Good News for TCPA Defendants
Good News for TCPA Defendants
Posted in Marketing, U.S. Federal Law
The meaning of an "automatic telephone dialing system" ("ATDS") as defined by the Telephone Consumer Protection Act ("TCPA") has been hotly contested since the D.C. Circuit invalidated the prior Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") rulings interpreting the TCPA in 2018. The Ninth Circuit has held that merely calling numbers from a stored list is sufficient to meet the definition of an ATDS, while the Third Circuit has at least indicated that the ability to generate numbers randomly or sequentially is the defining characteristic.
On January 27, 2020, the Eleventh Circuit entered the fray and concluded that to qualify as an ATDS a device must be capable of generating numbers randomly or sequentially. The Eleventh Circuit acknowledged that "[c]larity, we lament, does not leap off this page of the U.S. Code." Nonetheless it concluded that "conventional rules of grammar and punctuation" require that the phrase "using a random and sequential number generator" modifies both the verbs "store" and "produce." Importantly, the Eleventh Circuit held that "[i]f all you need to show is storing and calling, that would apply to the 'capacity' of nearly every piece of equipment, whether designed to produce randomly generated numbers or not."
Just three weeks later, on February 19, 2020, the Seventh Circuit followed the Eleventh Circuit's reasoning and held in Gadelhak v. AT&T Services, Inc. that a defendant's dialing system did not constitute an ATDS under the TCPA where it was not capable of generating random and sequential numbers. The Court analyzed the language of the TCPA and determined that, as written, there were four potential ways to interpret the statutory language. Relying on basic rules of grammar and punctuation, as well as the technology that was available at the time the TCPA was enacted into law in 1991, the Seventh Circuit decided that the Eleventh Circuit's interpretation in Glasser was the most persuasive. Therefore, the Court concluded that, to be an ATDS, a device must be capable of generating random and sequential numbers. In other words, the Seventh Circuit agrees that a device is not an ATDS merely because it dials from a stored list of numbers.
Thus, under the reasoning of the Third, Seventh and Eleventh Circuits, random and sequential number generation is required for a device to be an ATDS under the TCPA; a device, such as a predictive dialer that can merely dial from a stored list of phone numbers, does not satisfy the definition. The Supreme Court is expected to weigh in on these issues and resolve the developing circuit split between the Third, Seventh, Eleventh Circuits and the Ninth Circuit.
Update: ATDS Clarity May Finally Be on the Horizon
The TCPA, 47 U.S.C. 227 et seq, makes it unlawful to call or text using an ATDS certain types of phone numbers without consent. Statutory penalties for a violation can be up to $1,500 per call or text placed in violation of the statute, giving rise to potentially catastrophic risk to companies facing class action litigation. Thus it comes as no surprise that in the nearly thirty years since the TCPA was passed, untold amounts of money, time and resources have been spent arguing over exactly what constitutes an ATDS, particularly given the evolution of technology during that time. In the past two years, a circuit split has developed. The Second and Ninth Circuits have construed the statute broadly, concluding that to be an ATDS the dialing system need only have the capacity to store and automatically dial numbers. The Seventh and Eleventh Circuits, on the other hand, have held that it is not enough to automatically dial numbers from a stored list. Rather, an ATDS must have the capacity to automatically generate telephone numbers randomly or sequentially and dial them.
On Thursday, the Supreme Court decided to take up the question, by granting certiorari in Facebook, Inc. v. Duguid, No. 19-511, a case out of the Ninth Circuit. While it remains to be seen which way the Court will rule, one thing is almost certain – after nearly thirty years we will finally know what constitutes an ATDS.

Advocate of medical marijuana hosting educational meeting Wednesday – East Idaho News – Natural Nutrition 4 Health
Published at 11:40 am, February 19, 2019 | Updated at 3:56 pm, February 19, 2019
EastIdahoNews.com file photo
IDAHO FALLS – Nathanial Pickering is on a mission to educate people about the medicinal benefits of marijuana in the hopes of getting it on the ballot in 2020.
Pickering's advocacy group, Idaho Cannabis Education, is hosting a meeting Wednesday night to inform the community about the positive effects of medicinal cannabis for people with chronic pain or illness.
"We want to get the accurate information out there. There's a lot of new research going on with it right now. As it comes in, we want to get it out to local people who are interested in learning about it," Pickering tells EastIdahoNews.com.
Originally from southwest Montana, Pickering helped legalize medical marijuana in his home state in 2004. Several years later, he was hit by a drunk driver in Montana and crushed four vertebrae in his back. He spent the next six months in a brace, leaving him unable to work.
"(Doctors) had me on all sorts of pharmaceuticals, which destroyed me," Pickering says. "I went to my doctor and told him there has to be a better way. He recommended medicinal cannabis."
Not fully onboard with his doctor's advice, Pickering sought a second opinion and was given the same recommendation. Pickering did his own research and was convinced.
"I haven't had a pharmaceutical outside of an ibuprofen since," says Pickering. "The pharmaceuticals definitely helped with the pain, but it destroyed my guts. I couldn't go to the bathroom for weeks at a time. I couldn't sleep. I couldn't eat. I was losing weight like crazy. As soon as I started with medicinal cannabis, it was a complete 180."
Pickering points to several new developments in the world of cannabis research. In one study, for example, use of a cannabis nasal spray helped stop one child's seizure in 20 to 45 seconds, according to Pickering, and significantly reduced the number of seizures he had in a year from thousands to just two.
Another study, Pickering says, shows different forms of cancer have been eliminated from the use of medicinal cannabis.
Pickering says medicinal cannabis leading to addiction is a common misconception.
"There are a lot of studies right now that prove it is not an addictive substance. A lot of states where (medicinal cannabis) is legal, it's being used to get people off of opioids, and it's proven very successful," Pickering says.
Also speaking at Wednesday night's meeting is Lezhai Gulbransen. As the executive director of the Bonneville Youth Development Council, she focuses on preventing substance abuse and suicide among local youth.
She says not enough research has been done to prove whether cannabis has a positive or negative impact on the body.
"We don't want our youth to be guinea pigs, because what if they're wrong?" says Gulbransen. "I think there is a lot of promise in what (cannabis) could do, but there isn't a lot of research that's been done, and what limited research has been done isn't really conclusive."
Gulbransen is concerned with what message it sends to youth when people talk about the positive impact of medicinal cannabis.
"(Youth) have access to (marijuana), even though it's illegal here," says Gulbransen. "If adults and parents don't see (medicinal marijuana) as a high risk to themselves, the youths' perception of risk (for recreational marijuana use) is (also) very low, and we have a lot of issues with that."
Though medicinal cannabis is illegal in Idaho, there have been efforts to make prescription CBD oil legal in the state to treat severe forms of epilepsy. Medicinal cannabis is legal in nearby states of Utah, Washington, Oregon, Colorado and Montana.

The Idaho Cannabis Education meeting is happening Wednesday at 7 p.m. inside The Gem at 216 First St. in Idaho Falls.
Other speakers at the meeting include David Lybolt, an advocate in Pocatello, Dennis Hansen, an advocate for Hemp education, Jasmine Kinney, owner of the International Institute of Massage Therapy, and military veterans Ryan Parker and Matthew Davis.
Dennis Hansen of U.S. Hemp Roundtable
Pickering says everyone is welcome to attend and voice their opinions and concerns.
"People are out there — they're just scared to speak up," Pickering says. "It's something we need. It's something that's very prevalent in the world right now. The majority of the U.S. population wants it, uses it and is very successful with it in many aspects. So I'll be that guy to stand up and say, 'Let's discuss it.'"
Pickering says this meeting will be a monthly event. To learn more, visit the group's Facebook page.
