Sunk Cost Fallacy ...

How do you come from the 29th anniversary of the Day of German Unity today to the topic of Sunk Cost Fallacy? Not so difficult 🙂.
One result of the German reunification in 1990 was the decision to build a new airport for the common capital of East and West Germany in Berlin. "In what has to be the most delayed new airport ever, Berlin Brandenburg is evidently coming closer to completion. First set to open in 2012, ... The latest timeline sees a late-2020 opening for the airport, but many believe this could slip further to 2021". Other countries build a complete new International Airport from scratch easily in the time, we are just waiting for the official opening, 7 years in the meantime.

10 things you never knew about German reunification https://www.thelocal.de/20191003/10-things-you-didnt-know-about-german-reunification-unity-day
One of the discussions that is coming up every time a new delay or cost increase is communicated for the Berlin-Brandenburg-Airport is to stop it, tear it down and start all over again.
"Do you often find yourself continuing on a path that doesn't feel right, only because you've already invested so much time or money into it? You might strongly dislike what you're doing, but you feel like you have to stay the course because you can't imagine doing anything differently. If this sounds familiar, then you're probably dealing with the negative consequences of the sunk cost fallacy mindset." Here we are 👍

'The entire society is rigged': Fox News host throws tantrum after failed election challenges
Fox News host Will Cain on Monday claimed that the "entire society is rigged" against people who support President Donald Trump.
During a segment about GOP lawmakers who plan to challenge the Electoral College results, Cain claimed that "Republicans can be forgiven for their skepticism" about the election.
"Because whether or not an election was rigged, it certainly feels like society is rigged right now," Cain opined. "From the complete squelching of dissent on college campuses, inside the media institutions, to being lied [to] about the Hunter Biden story, to watching President Trump impeached, every step of the way watching President Trump undermined, his legitimacy questioned."
He continued: "When you deal with that, not just for four years, but decades, you start to think, if not an election, the entire society is rigged against people who hold my values."
Co-host Pete Hegseth agreed.
"The more you're told not to question, the more you're told not to challenge, the more you start to feel like something's not right here," he said.

Free Trip to Israel
I love these "even-handed" panels
by themiddle
This is a long post, so if you have the patience, grab a glass of apple juice, wine or beer, get comfortable and relax. It will end eventually…
Tell me if you've had this experience. A panel/discussion/forum is advertised and the topic relates to Israel. When you get there, however, you realize that the organizers invited speakers among whom the ones who are supposed to be the Israel supporters – often the Jews on the panel – are actually somewhat to the left of Lenin and Che Guevara and expressive of attitudes about Israel that would have made Gamal Abdel Nasser sound like Alan Dershowitz.
Why is that? If I wanted to learn about why Israel should be supported or might be in the right, then why would I invite a Norman Finkelstein or a Noam Chomsky to represent Israel?
I wouldn't unless there was a good chance I was a twit, a censor, a disingenuous liar or any combination of the preceding.
So there I was several days ago, meandering through some Jerusalem Post and Ha'aretz articles, when I came across a story where a Guardian editor, sitting on a panel at the Jewish Book Week, apologized for some of his paper's coverage of the fighting in Jenin in 2002.
In response to his publication's coverage of the operation, Rusbridger said it was unfair to blame the reporter. Following Operation Defensive Shield in 2002, the Guardian's editorial commented in its April 17 edition that: "Israel's actions in Jenin were every bit as repellent as Osama Bin Laden's attack on New York on September 11."
"I take full responsibility for the misjudgment," Rusbridger said.
And during a response to a later question, he apologized for the editorial on Jenin – unprompted.
Okay, so viciously and unfairly attacking Israel's Jenin actions where 30 Palestinian combatants, 21 Palestinian non-combatants (who had been warned to leave numerous times) and 23 Israeli soldiers were killed was inappropriate. But who could blame The Guardian, a prominent voice of the Left in England? After all, they were taking their cue from the UN. Remember Terje Roed-Larsen, the prominent UN envoy who visited Jenin soon after the fighting?
"It is totally destroyed, it looks like an earthquake has hit it," [Roed-Larsen] said.
"We have expert people here who have been in war zones and earthquakes and they say they have never seen anything like it," he added.
A couple of weeks later, everybody realized that this was all bullshit. The supposed massacres never took place; the hundreds of Palestinians were never killed; the supposed dead were caught on camera falling off the stretchers carrying them away and getting back on; and the cameras revealed that the "devastation" they kept showing was a small part of a much larger town.
But this post is about ridiculous panels. On this particular panel, as mentioned, one of the speakers was Alan Rusbridger, the Guardian's editor. Here are a couple of jewels from the Guardian.
Okay, so Rusbridger might be representing the anti-Israel media, although he might not characterize it that way. But who did the organizers invite to sit alongside him in order to provide balance and the Israeli point of view?
For that they trotted out the recently retired Haaretz editor, David Landau.
Ha'aretz is a very good newspaper. They have good writers and they have good reporters. However, the newspaper undermines its own quality with a Left-wing bias so strong that sometimes one longs for an al-Jazeera report or something to balance things out. In large part, and certainly for the past few years, this editorial and writing bias has been influenced by Mr. Landau.
Mr. Landau does not apologize for his views. On the contrary, he takes great pride in them. Recently, at a dinner with Ms. Condoleeza Rice, Mr. Landau whispered – huskily, I'm sure – in her ear that Israel was a failed state, the Israeli government wanted "to be raped" to achieve peace and that it would be like a "wet dream" for him to see this happen.
Knowing some Israeli men, I'm sure this is not the first time in history that one had whispered sexual innuendo in a woman's ear. However, this was not just an ordinary male Israeli citizen whispering longingly of his own state's being raped in the ear of the female US Secretary of State over a plate of seared Foie Gras and Duck a l'Orange. This was the editor in chief of Ha'aretz.
And when England's Jewish Book Week decided to invite the Guardian's editor to speak, whom did they choose to bring out to be his counterpart and balance on the panel? The Jewish Book Week chose a man, a prominent man, under whose direction his newspaper's editorial page falsely labeled Israel "racist" and declared the Territories under "apartheid." Yes, the man who gave us Danny Rubinstein who went to the UN to call Israel an apartheid state and Amira Hass who may actually be more extreme than some Hamas members, was the counterpoint speaker to the anti-Israel editor on a panel.
Wait, it gets better!
Remember the debate held by the Oxford Students Union which decided to debate Israel's right to exist by presenting two anti-Israel academics, Finkelstein and Honderich, as the "pro" Israelis on the panel? Sure you do. Some will claim that it was an absurd event, but the Oxford Students Union took it seriously. What's more, they gave a voice to academics who wish to express negative remarks about Israel in a public forum.
Rah rah!! Free speech!!
Uh, except there were no Israel supporters on the panel. Where is the balance and where is the free speech when opposing voices need to be heard?
Ironically, complaints about restrictions or the absence of free speech particularly when Israel is involved have become regular fare in various academic, media and political circles. In recent years, the Jewish community has become an unnamed but often accused subject of these attacks. People like Jimmy Carter, John Mearsheimer, Stephen M.Walt, Noam Chomsky, Norman Finkelstein and others have taken prominent "free speech" positions which the media tends to regurgitate with a parrot-like tenacity.
Their claim is that they are being stifled by "forces," "lobbies," "those who control media," "those with means" and their free speech is being thwarted. At times, all of these authors and public people will specifically blame the Jewish community or members thereof. Sometimes they do it overtly and sometimes they hint at it, but there's no question it has become a major component of any debate regarding not only the US relationship with Israel, but discussion of Israel's morality and existence and even supposed Jewish influence on launching the US war in Iraq.
The joke, of course, is that these people manage to travel the breadth of the US and the world to voice their opinion openly. They manage to get frequent and unquestioning, at times supportive but rarely negative, media coverage. They have lucrative book deals and book sales related to this subject. Presumably, they charge handsome speaking fees. In fact, their prominence rests to some degree on their positions regarding Israel, the Jewish community (especially of America) and the supposed censorship they encounter. They will often suggest that not only are they not anti-Semitic but the charge that their actions and words are anti-Semitic is in and of itself an attempt to stifle free speech. In fact, it is not unusual to hear in these circles the suggestion that an accusation of anti-Semitism by their opponents is merely an attempt to squelch their voices and, of course, their free speech.
Other areas where the free speech battle is being fought out is with the attempted boycotts by academics and academic groups of Israeli academic institutions. From what I've read, along with official attempts to boycott, there are actual unofficial boycotts of Israeli academics and unofficial rejections of papers from Israeli scholars. Needless to say, this can be destructive to their careers. Sometimes, these boycotts hurt Israeli scholars who have strong left wing views which shows the indiscriminate nature of the boycotts as well as the truth about whose free speech is being stifled. As a result, expressing a pro-Israel point of view, has become more and more challenging for many scholars. This is happening while the anti-Israel forces (on lecture tours) are screaming about their supposed absence of free speech.
Academia in general seems to be one battlefield where the free speech battle has become a major point of discussion. From what I can tell, political science specialists, historians, Middle East specialists, etc. are at the forefront of this battle. Edward Said isn't around any more, but Juan Cole and his partners in bias still reign supreme in these areas. In US and European universities, many Middle East studies programs have come to be dominated by scholars with a left wing, anti-Israel bent and one can find this filtering out to other programs and departments, particularly in the Humanities. A key player in this movement is MESA (The Middle East Studies Association) which is the primary association of Middle East professors and whose leadership reads like the Friends of All Things Palestinian. MESA feels strongly about fighting the supposed curtailment of free speech on campuses to the degree where the topic currently occupies space on their front page.
I have heard from centrist and center-right professors about their discomfort at MESA conferences where their viewpoints are better kept quiet. The same professors have told me horror stories about getting hired in existing departments that consider opposition to Israel almost a given and support of Israel anathema. It's true that a couple of professors at random can't be considered anything more than a tiny sample, but they told me their stories years apart.
But this information, about tacit obstruction of free speech when it comes to those whose research supports Israel, isn't publicized in too many places. Instead, what is publicized is the supposed curtailment of free speech by anti-Israel academics. All of a sudden, it's the new sport: find the hidden hand of the Jew in academia as they constrain free speech. They blame Jewish pressure through institutions, Jewish pressure on people, Jewish-dominated organizations like Campus Watch or Jewish scholars such as Daniel Pipes and Martin Kramer. The accusation is that free speech and true research are being stifled. Online petitions pop up all the time trying to defend some anti-Israel scholar who is under supposed attack, or seeking to end some supposed attempt to stifle free speech and they are signed (online at least) by hundreds and sometimes thousands of academics.
Conferences are popping up to discuss this supposed crisis. Of course, they are populated by like-minded academics who feel their exercise in free speech includes complaining about their constraints when it comes to free speech and who believe that to have the conversation, they must exclude anybody who disagrees. And yes, they seem to have the requisite Jewish Professor on their panels.
So imagine my great surprise when, surfing along on the information superhighway with its millions of blogs, thousands of media outlets, wikipedias, Electronic Intifadahs, countless lists of poli sci faculties populated by anti-Israel academics, and, of course, no police or oversight body to suppress any of this extraordinary body of free speech, I cam across an upcoming conference at NYU called "Academic Freedom in the Age of Permanent Warfare." Catch this:
Thursday: Yeshiva University Professor Ellen Schrecker speaking on "The Squeaky Wheels Go Round Again: Academic Freedom After 9/11.
Friday: NYU President John Sexton opens the Friday conference with reflections on the worldwide state of academic freedom. Roger Bowen, from the Woodrow Wilson Visiting Fellows Program, provides the keynote address, and additional panels include "Academic Freedom: Theory & Practice"; "Academic Freedom & the Question of Israel and Palestine"; "Labor & the Corporate University"; and "The High Schools."
Did you catch that? A conference about academic freedom and they have 4 panels. One is generally about academic freedom in general; one is about the "corporate university;" one is about high schools; and one is about Israel and Palestine. That's right, there are no other conflicts out there that merit mention of academic freedom, just the one involving Israel. And who is going to sit there and discuss the topic? Let's look at the list:
Khaled Fahmy, Chair & Comment, Professor of Middle Eastern Studies, New York University
Zachary Lockman, Professor of Middle Eastern Studies, New York University
Tony Judt, University Professor and Director, The Remarque Institute, New York University
Rashid Khalidi, Edward Said Chair in Arab Studies, Director of the Middle East Institute, Columbia University.
Here is Professor Fahmy defending Joseph Massad:
"I wanted to highlight how the charge of anti-Semitism is used in a cynical way to silence any critique of Israel."
Here is Zachary Lockman sarcastically ripping Israel with no mention of suicide bombings in an article about Israel's 40th anniversary called, you guessed it, "Original Sin":
So this fortieth anniversary project had to become a celebration with a purpose: to purge US and European minds of those awful images of Israeli soldiers shooting and beating Palestinians. Officials hoped that primetime broadcasts of Exodus, choruses of "Hava Nagela," stories about hardy pioneers making the desert bloom, and countless op-ed articles extolling Israel as the only democracy in the Middle East would do the trick. And no hard questions to mar the festivities, please.
Here is Tony Judt in a strong defense of Walt & Mearsheimer's not so defensible article (where he claims the media was stifling debate):
In the eyes of a watching world, the fact that an Israeli soldier's great-grandmother died in Treblinka will not excuse his own misbehavior.
Rashid Khalidi, who occupies the Edward Said Chair at NYU, speaking about the Iraq War:
Third, this war will be fought because these neoconservatives desire to make the Middle East safe not for democracy, but for Israeli hegemony…For these American Likudniks and their Israeli counterparts, sad to say, the tragedy of September 11 was a godsend: It enabled them to draft the United States to help fight Israel's enemies.
Two Jews. Two non-Jews who are Arab or of Arab descent. See how fair it all is? There are no other speakers on this panel which is so concerned with academic freedom. Two Chairs and two well established professors, all published, all with the ability to write op-eds in any publication in the country, all teaching at one of the world's and certainly the US's finest institutions, are going to get together to whine and complain about their and others' challenges with respect to academic freedom. And all of them with anti-Israel views.
And they won't have anybody on the panel to argue with them, not about Israel, not about censorship, not about academic freedom and not about the best place to eat hummus in New York or Jerusalem.
Congratulations to NYU for succeeding in providing an Orwellian program on "free speech" and "academic freedom" where either willfully or through sheer intoxication with the politically correct pressure provided by their own faculty, no voices of Israel supporters, or even of those who have called these professors to task on their blatant bias – a bias that tarnishes their research, in my opinion – will be heard in a panel called "Academic Freedom & the Question of Israel and Palestine."
I guess the lesson is that one side is having their point of view squelched. It just happens to be the side getting the blame.

rootlesscosmo says:
well there's a lot going on in this post.
Re: the panel thing, this is par for the course. Panel organizers think ethnic/religious diversity is the relevant metric for "balance," so an anti-Israel Jew and an anti-Israel Arab or Muslim is a fair makeup for an Israel-related panel in their eyes. Never mind the diversity of *opinion* (the only useful diversity in this context) that is totally ignored by such a panel makeup.
Re: the anti-Semitism charge, IMO there was a point in the not-too-distant past when the charge of anti-Semitism was overtaken in frequency by the *denial* of anti-Semitism as a cloak for questionable speech. While there will always be right-wing knuckleheads that abuse the anti-Semitism charge to stifle *any* debate on Israel, there are, at this point, far, far more people who *pre-empt* the (often non-existent) anti-Semitism charge in order to say whatever hateful sh*t they want, e.g. "I will no doubt be charged with anti-Semitism for the grossly distorted charges I am about to level at the State of Israel…."
And then there are the lame attempts by anti-Israel groups to parade some confused Jew around in order to neutralize any charges of anti-Semitism. Never mind that their token Jewish member could be as ignorant and ill-informed as anyone else on Israel-related matters. Which brings me back to the first point re: anti-Israel Jews on Israel-related panels…

+----+-------------+-------+------------+------+-------------------------+-------------------------+---------+-------+--------+----------+----------------------------------------------------+

It seems that in the first case, when not using the index hint, the query planner is not using created_at in the index because of the DESC clause, which MySQL 5.7 doesn't support. But why is it that in the extra column I see Using where when using indx2 and Using index condition; Using where; Using filesort when using indx1? The query also runs twice as fast. Why is that?
Edit: Adding SHOW CREATE TABLE output.
CREATE TABLE `my_table` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `col1` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  `created_at` datetime DEFAULT NULL,
  ...
  `archive` int(11) DEFAULT '0',
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
  KEY `indx1` (`archive`),
  KEY `indx2` (`archive`,`created_at`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=2298216 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8

A: *

*Please provide SHOW CREATE TABLE; it is more descriptive than DESCRIBE.

*Add INDEX(archive, col1), it may help performance.

*key_len=5 for a 4-byte INT means that it is NULLable; nothing else.  (key_len provides no clue of whether any columns are used for ORDER BY.)

*Which rows really need to be NULLable?  (Change to NOT NULL where appropriate.)

*"when using indx2 the DB uses only the first column" -- Maybe, maybe not.  It does use only the first column for the WHERE, but notice that it does not say filesort, so it used the second column to avoid the sort.

*If you change the IN list, the query may run faster or slower, depending on how fast it finds 1001 relevant rows.

*The "filesort" is fast because it is sorting only 1001 rows, not 158K rows.  And it will probably do it in RAM.  ("FILEsort" is a misnomer.)

*5.7 does not have DESC indexes; all BTrees are stored ASCENDING.  But it can, in some cases, use the INDEX even when you have DESC in the ORDER BY.  (Including all the cases in your Question and my Answer.)

A: Right now you have no index on col1 even though that's the first item in your where clause.
You should definitely create an index on the aggregate of col1, archive and created_at.
This should solve your speed issue as well.

Gov. Herbert denies Bluff's request to stay at high alert on coronavirus
(Zak Podmore | The Salt Lake Tribune) A school district employee changes the notification board at Bluff Elementary School to announce a two-week closure related to the coronavirus outbreak on Monday, March 16, 2020.
By Zak Podmore

| Updated: 11:47 p.m.
Bluff • As coronavirus restrictions continue to be eased across Utah, tourists have begun returning to visit the canyon country in the southern part of the state, booking hotel rooms and sitting down in restaurants.
But for elected leaders in the town of Bluff, the state's decision to allow most businesses to reopen last week came too soon for the 262-person community.
San Juan County, where Bluff is located, had 26 hospitalizations, four deaths and 254 confirmed coronavirus cases as of Friday, making it the hardest hit health district in Utah. The majority of the cases are located in the county's southern half which overlaps with the Navajo Nation, and the Bluff Town Council has twice requested exemptions from the Utah Department of Health to remain in the highest level of coronavirus alert.
Utah Gov. Gary Herbert announced a phased reopening plan in April with four, color-coded risk levels and corresponding restrictions. Bluff was initially allowed to stay at the "red" or high-risk level after the state moved to "orange" May 1. But with most of Utah entering "yellow" phase guidelines last week, a second request from Bluff to remain in "red" was denied.
The San Juan Public Health Department reviewed Bluff's letter and requested Mexican Hat, an unincorporated community with a tourism-based economy near the Navajo Nation, also remain at a higher alert level.
"[Bluff's] request prompted a review of data for our area looking at specific risk factors," said Kirk Benge, director of the San Juan Public Health Department. "Based on that data review, it seemed clear that Bluff and Mexican Hat should not be treated separately. It didn't make logical sense to apply a separate risk level to Bluff, when they both have similar risks based on current data."
Benge forwarded both requests to the state health department as is required in order for a local jurisdiction to deviate from the statewide order.
"After careful review and consultation with the governor's office we disapprove the issuance of this request," Jefferson Burton, acting executive director of the Utah Department of Health, wrote in a letter Wednesday. "Based on your population and concerns the Town of Bluff and Mexican Hat are, however, approved to remain in the orange phase of the governor's plan until May 28th."
Bluff Mayor Ann Leppanen said in a May 6 letter to the health department that she was concerned with protecting workers in town, many of whom live in the Navajo Nation, and the town's residents, "the majority of whom fall within the definition of 'senior.'" She also noted there are limited emergency medical services available in the town.
"[The town council] voted unanimously to ask for an exception and remain in the 'red' risk, although I think the sentiment was that 'orange' would be acceptable," Leppanen said in a meeting Tuesday. "The numbers have continued to go up."
Steve Simpson, the owner of Twin Rocks Cafe and Trading Post in Bluff, said that although he and his employees have felt the economic impact, he has supported the town's efforts to keep residents and visitors safe.
"I liked Bluff's approach from the very beginning," Simpson said. "I thought we needed to be cautious, and I think the town council was doing a really good job of that."
The cafe reopened Friday but without its usual indoor table service. Food is available for takeout at a walk-up Navajo taco bar, Simpson said, and additional seating has been added outside.
"We're making a lot of changes that we hope will work and that will at least pay the bills," he said. "Now, I'm not convinced that's going to happen, but we want to maintain some continuity, keep people working and hopefully get by."
The Navajo Nation government has imposed the most restrictive measures in Utah with nightly and weekend curfews still being enforced for all residents. Navajo Nation President Jonathan Nez recently told The Salt Lake Tribune that he would like to see neighboring jurisdictions wait to reopen.
"The cities are opening up, and they're not helping one bit," Nez said. "We're still having numbers that are going up, up. ... Why open up your government — why open up your businesses — when the cases of COVID-19 are still going up? That is what upsets me. We're all in this together."
The Navajo Nation had a coronavirus death toll of 146 as of Wednesday.
Utah health officials announced the death of an elderly woman in Weber County on Friday, bringing the state's death toll to 93.
As of Friday, there had been 660 hospitalizations for COVID-19 in Utah since the pandemic began, with 108 of those patients still receiving hospital care.
The state reported 183 new confirmed cases of the virus on Friday, bringing the total to 8,057 cases — an increase of 2.3% since Thursday. Of those, 4,748 are considered "recovered" — that is, they have survived for three weeks following a diagnosis for COVID-19.
The state also reported new test results for 3,960 people between Wednesday and Thursday, with 4.6% of those testing positive. In total, 186,834 people have been tested since the beginning of the pandemic, with an overall positive rate of 4.3%.
Thousands of tests have been conducted in the 15,500-person San Juan County since April thanks to mobile testing events from the Utah Department of Health and Utah Navajo Health Services.
To honor the victims of the pandemic, Herbert ordered U.S. and Utah flags be flown at half-staff on Sunday.
The order matches a proclamation from President Donald Trump.
"We join with the entire country in paying our respects to those who have lost their lives in this deadly pandemic," Herbert said in a statement. "As we fight this virus together, let us remember those who have passed, those who are struggling with the disease, and the healthcare heroes who make daily sacrifices to provide the best treatment to those who are suffering."
The order lowers flags at all state facilities and public grounds from sunrise until sunset on Sunday. Individuals and businesses are encouraged to do likewise.

Sushma Swaraj says welfare of expatriates is priority
Abu Dhabi: External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj Tuesday here said welfare of the Indian nationals residing abroad, particularly in the Gulf countries, is one of the top most priorities of her government.
"We believe that the overseas Indians must be a part of the growth story
of the nation," she said in an interactive session with the Indian diaspora here Tuesday.
November 10-12 is her first visit to the UAE as external affairs minister.
She said that her government in collaboration with the state governments has been proactively devising ways and means to address the concerns of the Indians living abroad.
"We have also been engaged with the UAE government in continuous dialogue on various
matters concerning our community here," she said.
"We have a Memorandum of Understanding on Manpower signed between the Ministry of Overseas Indian Affairs in India and Ministry of Labour in UAE."
Sushma Swaraj said the Ministry of Overseas Indian Affairs has undertaken a number of measures to ensure the welfare of Indian community in UAE -- through the institution of Indian Community Welfare Fund (ICWF), setting up of Indian Workers Resource Centre(IWRC) and online information system regarding transportation of mortal remains.
Since the inception of the ICWF, more than 6,000 Indians have benefitted directly from it, she noted.
"IWRC has attended to more than 65,000 telephone calls, conducted 200 awareness camps and provided more than 4,500 free counselling sessions since its establishment in November 2010," she told the Indian diaspora.
"Recently, our embassy in Abu Dhabi brought out an advance copy of 'Guidelines for Indians' in limited numbers which I hope will prove quite beneficial for the Indians in UAE. More numbers of this booklet will be printed in English, Hindi and other regional languages."

The veteran New York Giants long snapper announced his retirement on Friday. He already has a second career lined up.
Thank you @Giants, friends, family, and fans for the privilege of the last 13 years. What a ride! Excited for the next chapter at @GoldmanSachs. #onlyagiant pic.twitter.com/e5w1Bss19G
— Zak DeOssie (@zdeossie) August 7, 2020
New York Giants long snapper Zak DeOssie has announced his retirement after 13 NFL seasons. DeOssie made his declaration on Twitter and it was later posted on the Giants' website. He acknowledged he had come to the decision to retire months prior, but wanted to make an official announcement to properly say farewell to the Big Blue community.
"I am retiring from football," DeOssie says in his opener. "I wanted to make a formal announcement to acknowledge those who have made this experience so awesome – and this milestone so bittersweet."
The North Andover, NJ native goes on to thank the Giants, their fans, his family, his alma mater of Brown University, and many others. The 36-year-old also reveals that he has already found a post-football calling, as he is set to take a role in Private Wealth Management at Goldman Sachs.
"Head down, hands steady, produce results. I learned from my time with the Giants that hard work pays off," De Ossie concludes. "As I walk away from the game as a player, I thankfully get to keep that mentality – and I'm excited to bring it to my new role in Private Wealth Management at Goldman Sachs. I have had the tremendous opportunity to work and learn at GS in my off-seasons, and am thrilled to be re-joining my team to deliver championship-level energy, effort, consistency, and results."
"Thank you all. Go Giants!"
With the retirements of DeOssie and Eli Manning, the Giants have no more members leftover from their Super Bowl XLVI team, their last championship squad. DeOssie was also the second-longest-tenured member of the team behind Manning, having joined the team as a fourth-round pick (116th overall) in the 2007 Draft. His father Steve previously played for the Giants from 1989 through 1993 and was part of their championship team in Super Bowl XXV. When Zak won Super Bowl XLII, the pair became the first father-son pairing to win a Super Bowl with the same team.
Zak DeOssie earned 94 tackles in his NFL career and reached two Pro Bowls (2008, 2010). He played a major role in the Giants' last Super Bowl titles, successfully enacting the snaps that led to New York's game-winning field goals against Green Bay and San Francisco in 2008 and 2012 respectively. DeOssie took part in 199 regular season Giants games, good for fifth-most in franchise history.
Casey Kreiter, formerly of the Denver Broncos, is set to take over DeOssie's snapper spot.

Biomedical Innovation Program grants awards to develop new diagnostics and medical devices
Two projects have received funding from OHSU's 2022 Biomedical Innovation Program, both in the Device, Diagnostic, Software track. The funding program, which is a collaboration between the Oregon Clinical & Translational Research Institute and OHSU Innovates, aims to improve patient care by advancing innovative discoveries through moving them closer to market–and in addition to funding, provides project management and mentorship in technology commercialization.
"The BIP meets a critical need at OHSU by funding promising early-stage and potentially marketable technologies," said OCTRI Director David Ellison, MD. "This funding, along with project management and mentorship, helps move the needle substantially, to put these technologies in the best possible position for commercialization where they can ultimately improve patient outcomes. We are very excited to fund these new technologies for 2023–and we look forward to working closely with the investigators."

Hyperspectral Imaging for Advanced Diagnostics (HIAD): Deep Learning in Surgery
Albert Chi, M.D.
Many patients arrive at the hospital or clinic with symptoms that could result from a number of diseases–and for which only surgery can provide a diagnosis. Thus, better diagnostic tools are important for avoiding the extra costs and risks of diagnosing disease in the operating room.
Necrotizing fasciitis is one such life-threatening disease. It is difficult to distinguish necrotizing fasciitis from severe soft tissue infections without surgery. The co-principal investigators of this project are Albert Chi, M.D., M.S., F.A.C.S., associate professor of surgery in the Division of Trauma, Critical Care and Acute Care Surgery; and Xiao-Yue Han, M.D., general surgery resident. They propose to use hyperspectral imaging to make this distinction, saving patients who don't need surgery from the operating room and preserving critical operating room space for those who do. Yet hyperspectral imaging for medical applications has been challenged by high camera costs, low reproducibility, and high data processing needs.
Xiao-Yue Han, M.D.
To overcome these barriers, Chi and Han have designed a bedside hyperspectral platform for advanced diagnostics in surgical patients with hardware that enables reproducible measurements.
The goal of this project is to build a proof-of-concept platform and produce preliminary data that can be used to bring this technology to the patient.
Novel riboflavin and oxygen delivery methods for transepithelial corneal collagen crosslinking
David Huang, M.D.
The common eye disorder keratoconus results in a thinning cornea, negatively affecting vision for many children and young adults–and it's a leading cause of corneal transplants. In 2016, corneal collagen cross-linking surgery to strengthen the cornea was approved as a treatment by the FDA. This treatment halts the progression of keratoconus by inducing a photochemical reaction that creates covalent bonds between collagen fibers to strengthen the stroma. This reaction occurs by activating riboflavin under UV light in the presence of oxygen. Standard cross-linking treatment, however, requires the removal of epithelium so that riboflavin, oxygen, and UV can easily enter the corneal stroma, and while it is effective, often the epithelium is slow to heal. This delay raises the risk of corneal haze and infections. Thus, improving cross-linking surgery is important for those with keratoconus.
The principal investigator of this project is David Huang, M.D., Ph.D., Martha and Eddie Peterson Professor of Ophthalmology, professor of biomedical engineering, and director of research at the Casey Eye Institute. Dr. Huang and his team have developed an advanced technology that may overcome the epithelial barrier to delivery of riboflavin, oxygen, and UV while also strengthening the cornea. This project will validate the new technology in preparation for clinical trials.

The Obama administration is refusing to accept the disastrous dynamics it has set in play with its monstrous health overhaul law.
Instead of recognizing the economic reality of what they've done, officials are railing at the companies and industries that are responding in perfectly rational ways to the incentive structures they have set up.
Here's the latest avalanche of bad news for consumers who surely will not "be able to keep the coverage" they have.
The Iowa-based company provides coverage to about 840,000 people who receive their insurance through an employer.
Principal is just the latest in a long list of insurers to announce plans to drop coverage. It may have dropped it anyway, but ObamaCare undoubtedly accelerated the decision.
The plans can't meet the requirements of new regulations that HHS is writing to implement ObamaCare. Because McDonald's has relatively high employee turnover, it spends more on signing people up and other administration than the new rules will allow (85% medical care and 15% admin).
The plans are called "mini-meds" and offer limited coverage, but it's coverage that allows people to go to doctors, get their medicines, preventive care, etc. The new rules "would deny our people this current benefit that positively impacts their lives and protects their health," McDonald's said in a memo to HHS.
"There is not any issuer of limited benefit coverage that could meet the … standards," said Neil Trautwein, vice-president of the National Retail Federation. Millions more policies are at risk for employees of Home Depot, Disney, CVS, Staples, Blockbuster, etc., the Journal reports.
22,000 New England seniors can't keep the coverage they have. Harvard Pilgrim announced this week that it is getting out of the market for Medicare Advantage in response to the massive cuts coming to this popular program.
These policies offer more comprehensive benefits than traditional Medicare to seniors, most of whom have modest incomes but who don't have retiree coverage or can't afford expensive Medigap policies.
ObamaCare targets the most vulnerable seniors, dumping them back into the fee-for-service market where they are likely to have a very difficult time finding a physician to see them — all so the government can get private plans out of Medicare.
Why, we wonder, don't they target AARP's sweet deal for the private Medigap plans it markets, raking in hundreds of millions of dollars in royalties that it can use to lobby for ObamaCare?
Child-only policies vanishing: HHS Secretary Sebelius is angry with a number of insurers for announcing they plan to stop offering child-only insurance policies. But does she really not get it? If you tell companies they must sell to anyone who applies, even if the children are already sick, then it simply is not a sustainable insurance or business model.
And when one company in an area announces it plans to stop offering the policies, that creates instant adverse selection for other companies that remain in the market, setting off a cascade of dropped policies.
The cascade began just a few days after ObamaCare was signed into law this spring when AT&T, Caterpillar, John Deere, Verizon and several other large employers said the law would take a bite out of their future earnings. They were about to be hauled before the House of Representatives to explain their disloyalty until it became clear that they were likely to testify that they also are considering dropping employee coverage.
After that, we learned that retiree medical coverage was in jeopardy. Next, there was another casualty of ObamaCare — the fledgling insurance company in Virginia, nHealth, that shut down after investors concluded it wasn't possible to navigate the maze of new regulations and succeed.
Do they not understand the wreckage is the fault of ObamaCare? And this is only the beginning as thousands and thousands more pages of regulation will further disrupt virtually every aspect of our health sector.
The president tried to quiet a woman raising concerns about the health overhaul during another of his most-unpresidential-like backyard forums this week.
The woman voiced fears that ObamaCare turns us toward England's socialized medicine where care is rationed and even denied. The president gave a scripted answer that didn't answer her question and clearly showed how irritated he was.
Another lawsuit: A December 9 hearing date has been set in Tyler, Texas, for a lawsuit brought against ObamaCare by Physician Hospitals of America and the Texas Spine and Joint Hospital.
The law says that physician-owned hospitals that serve Medicare patients can no longer expand after March 23, 2010. The PPACA also bans any new physician-owned hospitals from providing services to Medicare/Medicaid patients if the facility is not Medicare certified by December 31.
The Texas hospital had a $27 million expansion well underway when ObamaCare passed, but won't be able to meet the deadline.
Scott Oostdyk, lead counsel for the plaintiff, said the law unfairly amounts to retroactive legislation, a principle found unconstitutional by earlier courts. The law singles out physician-owned hospitals, which he says is exclusionary and a violation of due process and equal protection of the law.
Let's debate: The Benjamin Rush Society, organized to help young doctors and medical students see the wisdom of a market-based health sector, sponsored the eighth in its series of campus debates on Wednesday night.
Sally Pipes, the indefatigable president of the Pacific Research Institute, gets huge credit for launching BRS and for helping to give young minds a chance to hear both sides of the debate.
Jeff Anderson of PRI and I debated two physicians arguing for single-payer health care. I will write up my opening statement and post it here at some point this weekend.
BRS needs your support for the good work they are doing.
Medicaid briefing: And please join us this coming Thursday for a briefing on Medicaid & ObamaCare: The impact of the health overhaul law on the states. We'd love to have you join us on Capitol Hill in the beautiful new Capitol Visitor Center, beginning at 9:30 a.m. It's free and you can sign up here.
Sally Pipes, president and CEO of the Pacific Research Institute and author of The Truth About ObamaCare discusses what's really on the way courtesy of the recent health overhaul law: higher costs, decreased access to care, and the looming specter of a single-payer system in America.
The Medicare payment system rewards quantity at the expense of quality, Fodeman writes. Medicare pays hospitals and doctors 71% and 81% respectively of private rates. Ultimately, the brunt of Medicare's stinginess is passed on to patients in the form of decreased time with providers and compromised quality of care. This declining reimbursement puts further pressure on doctors to see more and more patients to maintain the same income. In the years to come, ObamaCare inevitably will give the government greater market share in the health care sector. This will only accelerate the trend toward hospital discharge one day post-surgery and further undercut the patient-doctor relationship.
The Repeal Pledge is a new campaign to ensure that "repeal and replace" is something more than a political slogan, The Wall Street Journal writes. It is modeled after the famous taxpayer-protection pledge of Americans for Tax Reform, which helped to steel opposition to antigrowth policies. The repeal pledge aims to do the same for ObamaCare, and has been signed so far by 43 Republicans. The pledge applies beyond repeal per se to interim steps like discharge petitions to allow certain up-or-down votes in Congress on partial repeal, stripping funding from some ObamaCare subsidy or enforcement programs, and repealing certain regulations. The larger GOP opportunity is to pursue genuine health care reform now that the public has so decisively rejected the entitlement model that Democrats have favored for several political generations. That begins with unraveling ObamaCare, and the hard political slog ahead could use an accountability tool like the repeal pledge.
The health overhaul law has set in motion a government takeover of American health care, and a very hostile one at that, Capretta writes. The Obama administration's clumsy and overbearing behavior since its passage proves the point. Massive bureaucracy. Disinformation campaigns. Blatant power plays. The politicization of decisions that should be made with a focus on patient care. The use of government power to threaten citizens and their livelihood. That is what ObamaCare has brought us. And that's just in its first six months.
When Do Rules for the Common Good Cross the Line?
At what point is the common good bad for people, asks Parker. Many so-called Everyday Americans who live in the oft-maligned red states essentially are people who live in more-open spaces and, therefore, see little need or benefit for government management of their lives. The frontier may be nearly gone, but the person who prefers wider horizons will have little use for bureaucrats bearing the latest government how-to (or how-to-not) document. Inevitably, the mind wanders to health care and other government programs that aim to do nice things for people but in the process eliminate the options of being self-directing individuals.
Heavy-handed warnings and demands that insurers get on the ObamaCare bandwagon are alienating both the health care industry and the public, Matthews writes. HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius is upset that critics are accusing her of "thuggery" for her recent cease and desist order sent to health insurers. Some insurers have been notifying their policyholders of future premium increases. Insurers have had to factor in all the new benefits that President Obama and Sebelius have been touting. The health overhaul legislation requires lots of new health insurance benefits — benefits that come with a cost. But Democrats sold it by telling people they would get more and pay less. It was a lie, and now HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius has to fain shock at the price increases.
Rationing in America has started, Pipes writes. By December, the Food and Drug Administration is expected to revoke approval of the drug Avastin for the treatment of advanced breast cancer. The FDA claims its decision won't be based on cost, but Avastin isn't cheap — a full regimen costs about $100,000 a year. Avastin has proven to be a wonder drug for countless women with stage IV breast cancer, but when no significant increase in "overall survivability" was reported this summer, an FDA advisory panel recommended that Avastin's approval be withdrawn. But no cancer drug has ever been taken off the market based solely on "overall survivability," Pipes writes. Traditionally, calculations of a drug's effectiveness have been based on tumor response and progression-free survival rates. If the FDA strips Avastin of its approval, it's likely that private insurers and Medicare would stop covering the medicine, effectively removing it from the anti-breast cancer arsenal.
President Obama recently put forward an economic proposal that the whole country should be able to get behind, Pitts writes. Its core competent is expanding the research and development tax credit. This move builds on the legacy of Ronald Reagan, who introduced the tax credit in 1982. Mr. Obama's proposal would allow companies to take a 17% deduction above 50% of R&D costs. That's a significant increase over the previous 14% rate, and the credit would be made permanent, allowing businesses to make better long-term plans and invest in new research with confidence. A bigger and permanent credit would boost the pharmaceutical industry, help create new, life-enhancing drugs, and drastically cut down on overall medical expenses. According to a 2010 study by the Milken Institute, increasing this credit by 25% and making it permanent would add $206.3 billion to GDP and raise total employment by 510,000 jobs within a decade.
Rep. Paul Ryan's "Roadmap for America's Future" has a better shot at reducing future Medicare outlays than past efforts, Cannon writes. The Roadmap would give enrollees a voucher with which to purchase insurance. Sicker and poorer enrollees would get larger vouchers, and the average voucher would grow more slowly than Medicare spending has grown in the past. The voucher system would also put downward pressure on prices across the entire spectrum of care. Income-adjusted vouchers would also change the game on the "patient" side, by diminishing well-to-do enrollees' incentive to lobby for higher Medicare spending. Vouchers are the most plausible way to restrain Medicare spending. They are also the most humane way, because they let enrollees retain the benefits that mean the most to them. Ryan is the only member of Congress taking this problem seriously.
Employers can expect 2011 health care cost increases to be at their highest levels in five years due to recent higher medical claim costs, an aging population and changes brought about by health care reform, according to an analysis by Hewitt Associates. Next year, Hewitt projects an 8.8% average premium increase for employers, compared to 6.9% in 2010 and 6% in 2009. Hewitt estimates that the most immediate applications of the health overhaul law — including covering dependents to age 26 and the elimination of certain lifetime and annual limits — contributed approximately 1% to 2% of the 8.8% projected increase for 2011. According to Hewitt's analysis, the average total health care premium per employee for large companies will be $9,821 in 2011. The amount employees will have to contribute toward this cost is $2,209, or 22.5% of the total health care premium, up from 12.4% in 2010.
Grace-Marie Turner will participate in a panel discussion on "Relevant Reform: Covering Health Care in a Way that Matters" on Tuesday, October 5 from 3:30 p.m. – 4:30 p.m.

Q: How to handle Typescript Generics when using styled function from '@mui/material/styles' import Table,{TableProps} from 'my/table/path'

const StyledTable = styled(Table)({
  ...my styles
})

const AnotherTable = <T, H>(props: TableProps<T, H>) => {
  return <StyledTable {...props} />
}

This is my error message:
Types of parameters 'item' and 'item' are incompatible.
          Type 'unknown' is not assignable to type 'T'.
            'unknown' is assignable to the constraint of type 'T', but 'T' could be instantiated with a different subtype of constraint 'unknown'.

It seems that my generic was not carried over when using styled because when I do it like this:
const AnotherTable = <T, H>(props: TableProps<T, H>) => {
  return <Table {...props} />
}

it does not return any error and my generics are working

A: I solved it. Basically all I did was explicitly infer the type after it was created.
const StyledTable = styled(Table)({
  ...my styles
}) as typeof Table;

A Dreamlover Mariah Carey amerikai énekesnő első kislemeze harmadik, Music Box című stúdióabumáról. A dal felhasznál egy részletet a The Emotions Blind Alley című felvételéből; ezzel kezdődött Careynek az a szokása, hogy mások dalrészleteit használja fel, amikor egy albuma első, kislemezre kimásolt dalát készíti (ez később megfigyelhető Fantasy, Honey, Heartbreaker és Loverboy című számainál is).

A Dreamlover a mai napig Carey egyik legnépszerűbb száma, koncerteken gyakran előadja, leggyakrabban a műsor elején.

Bruce Springsteen felhasznált a dalból egy részletet Let's Be Friends című dalához, mely from the album The Rising című albumán jelent meg, 2002-ben.

Fogadtatása
A Dreamlover Carey hetedik listavezető száma lett a Billboard Hot 100 listán, és az addigi legnagyobb slágere volt az Egyesült Államokban. Eddigi dalai közül ez ért fel leggyorsabban a lista elejére (hat hét alatt), és a leghosszabb ideig, nyolc hétig volt listavezető (1993. szeptember 5. és október 30. között). Az első helyen a UB40 Can't Help Falling in Love című számát váltotta, majd a Meat Loaf I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That) című dala szorította le az első helyről. Huszonhat hetet töltött a Top 40-ben, és harmadik lett az 1993-as év végi listán. Nyolc másik Billboard-listát is vezetett, és ez volt Carey első kislemeze, mely platinalemez minősítést kapott a RIAA-tól.

A dal az Egyesült Államokon kívül is sikert aratott, Careynek az egymás utáni negyedik listavezető száma lett Kanadában, és az első tízbe került az Egyesült Királyságban és Ausztráliában. Európa többi részén mérsékelt sikert aratott, a legtöbb országban bekerült a Top 20-ba, Németországban és Franciaországban azonban még a Top 40-be sem sikerült bejutnia.

1994-ben Grammy-díjra jelölték legjobb női előadó kategóriában, de veszített Whitney Houston I Will Always Love You-jával szemben. A BMI Pop Awardot azonban elnyerte, ahogy Carey minden korábbi, az USA-ban kiadott kislemeze, kivéve az I'll Be There-t.

Videóklip és remixek
A dal videóklipjét Diane Martel rendezte, és egyike volt az elsőknek, melyekbe Carey teljes beleszólást kapott. A klipben Carey egy nyári napon látható a napsütötte mezőn kutyájával, Jackkel, majd léghajón utazik.

Ez volt az első kislemez, melynél a remixek elkészítését is teljes mértékben irányíthatta. David Moralest kérte fel a dal remixeinek elkészítésére, és segítségével elkészült a Dreamlover (Def Club Mix), az első, ahol Carey újraénekelte a vokálokat a remixhez. A remix sikere Morales karrierjének is lendületet adott, ezenkívül segített áthidalni a pop- és house zene közti szakadékot.

A Morales-remixeken, valamint rövidített és dub változatokon kívül létezik még néhány remix, melyek az eredeti vokálokat használják: a Brian Morgan által készített Dreamlover (Theo's Club Joint Mix) és a Dreamlover (Bam Jam Soul). A dal egy hivatalosan megjelent koncertfelvétele található az 1994-ben kiadott Here Is Mariah Carey videófelvételen.

A Dreamlover kislemeze volt az első Mariah-kislemez, mely bónusz, ún. B-oldalas dalt tartalmazott, a Do You Think of Me-t.

Heat Sheets and Sharpies and Crash Rooms, Oh My: Miranda's First Real Swim Meet!
After talking with her coach, I told her she had the option to swim 1, 2, or 3 races, and she said she wanted to do all 3, so for this first meet she swam 25m freestyle, 25m backstroke, and 25m butterfly races. One thing I love about her head coach is that any time I talk with her, she always has something encouraging to say about Miranda and how much they all enjoy working with her (she does this for all the kids and all the parents). She told me, when I asked her thoughts about which events Miranda should swim, that Miranda had one of the most natural dolphin kicks she'd ever seen, which thrilled Miranda to no end. She hasn't quite put all the pieces of the butterfly stroke together smoothly yet, but she still loves swimming it so that she can put her dolphin kick to good use!
We had to get there early on Saturday morning – not ideal. Warm-ups started at 6:45, so I got up at 5:10. I am never, ever up at that time. I've been battling a cold, too, so it was not fun. But I powered through, and I woke both big girls up at 5:30 so they could get ready. Madeleine CaiQun insisted that she wanted to come early, too, so the three of us left the house in the pitch black darkness of the pre-sunrise hours.
I think Miranda was a bit overwhelmed by the big-ness of everything at the Mizzou pool. She's used to me being 20 feet away from her for her entire practice, and this was not that. She swam in the pool farther away from the crash room, so she couldn't even see her coaches or her pool from the crash room door. Parents are technically not allowed to be out on the pool deck…but I may or may not know anyone who, when confronted with the tears of her child, ignored the prohibition and walked out with her anyway.
I love the way everything is structured for these 25m 8-and-under events. They have a "bullpen" – essentially a staging area, where some coaches and volunteers get all of the kiddos lined up in exactly the order in which they need to be so that they can walk out to their lanes and swim. Then there are coaches and officials double-checking that each swimmer is where they need to be before their races begin.
The head coach of Miranda's team is great about making sure that kids see meets as fun opportunities to improve their own times. No one focuses on rankings or where kids are placing relative to others; it's all about personal growth.
I did look at the rankings, and Miranda finishes toward the bottom in every event, but that's totally fine 🙂 It was huge to get this first ever big meet under her belt and to swim 3 whole events. Even at the intrasquad she'd only done 1 (backstroke). She improved her backstroke time by almost 4 whole seconds (!!), and she now has established times for freestyle and butterfly.
Matt and I were joking that she could actually shave multiple seconds off of her times if she would take off when the starting sound goes instead of looking around to make sure other swimmers have started first.
Honestly, I find it all quite endearing. I love seeing her start out at the beginning and make progress. When she first started swim team, she could make it across one length of the pool doing freestyle and one length doing backstroke, but barely. And now? She routinely swims the length of the pool dozens of times in each day's practice, and she's getting faster and better at the mechanics of everything. It's so neat to see that growth.
And she's growing in other ways, beyond just her swimming skills, too. She has a little friend she loves to see at swim practice, and she told me she made another friend at this swim meet, because they were in the same heat for their first race, so they had time to chat in the bullpen while waiting for their turn to go out on deck. Giving her a chance to interact with other kids her age and with other adults is a big reason we pursue extracurricular activities, so I'm thrilled to see that she's starting to feel more comfortable in those areas, as well.
Overall, it was a very good experience. I'm so proud of her for being brave and taking on the challenge of swimming 3 races in a bit meet like this. It was such a fun morning for me, as her mom, to watch and help her through. I hope we'll have many more fun swim meet experiences coming up in our future!
I'm Alison, wife to one great guy and mama to four precious kiddos. My days are spent loving and caring for those 5 and anyone else God brings into my path, and as I read books and explain math, wipe noses and change diapers, teach and pray, correct and celebrate, I also contemplate and share my thoughts in this space. I'm so honored that you're here!

A foundation that promises a natural, lightweight formula that doubles as a concealer? Yes, please. Something that saves me time, while leaving me with a fresh and flawless base will almost always pique my interest. Being always on the hunt for the next best thing, I jumped at the chance to try the well loved Clinique Beyond Perfecting Foundation and Concealer.
A foundation-and-concealer in one for a natural, beyond perfected look that lasts all day. Lightweight, moisturising makeup covers thoroughly without clogging pores. Skin breathes comfortably, colour stays true, even through sweat and humidity.
Due to the rich pigment level that enhances this flawless coverage makeup, shades may appear deeper when first applied. Once blended completely and allowed to dry, Beyond Perfecting Makeup will melt into your skin for a Beyond Perfected flawless look. A little goes a long way.
Housed in a heavy glass bottle, Beyond Perfecting Foundation looks simple and chic. The formula is delivered by a large doe-foot applicator wand. I have mixed feelings about this. While I love the ease of use, the doe-foot applicator is very unhygienic. To me, this foundation is marketed towards people with acne. The foundation/concealer hybrid concept, the breathable, high-coverage formula that is said to not block pores, says to me it'd be perfect for blemishes. Which creates such a contradiction. The wand would spread bacteria every use. It'd transfer bacteria from the face to the bottle and vice versa. Further exasperating the acne issue.
How Does Beyond Perfecting Perform?
The applicator does make it extremely easy to apply. It blends out really well and doesn't take much to get really decent coverage. It does tend to look a little cakey if you use too much product, so beware. I found that my fingers, or a beauty sponge worked best for a flawless application.
As far as concealer goes, it works okay. However, If i needed redness or more coverage to disguise blemishes, I wouldn't rely wholly on this.
The finish was natural despite the fuller coverage. It wasn't 100% matte, nor was it glowy, just a really nice medium between the two. I couldn't feel that heaviness on the skin, which most fuller coverage foundations leave behind. But instead, it felt soft and smooth, without any tackiness.
I found that I was hella glowy after a few hours. You all know, I love the glow, but this next level. I learnt from my mistakes, and since the first application, I use a oil controlling primer and setting powder and it works wonders. My oily skin still made me look dewy and youthful, but without looking like you could fry an egg on my chin.
Beyond Perfecting Foundation and Concealer lasts really well. I get a whole 10 hours out of the application regardless of whether I set it with powder of not. To be honest, I haven't tested it for any longer than that. Obviously, if I don't set it, it becomes much more oily but surprisingly still lasts well without breaking down.
It is a really lovely foundation. It has a beautiful natural finish and lightweight feel for quite a full coverage foundation. The longevity is great, however if you are oily you'll need to up your mattifying products to ensure you don't look like a greasy little spud come lunch time.
Who Will Beyond Perfecting Work For?
Most skin-types. But as outlined above, it might get a little too glowy for oily pals. If you prefer something 100% matte I'd steer clear.
You can find this foundation and other Clinique products at MECCA, Sephora, AdoreBeauty, Clinique, Myer and David Jones.

I've seen so many good reviews for this one. But I already have so many foundations!
Clinique fly under the radar when it comes to makeup, but their quality is great!
