Global Gender Gap Report 2017 Home
There is a clear values-based case for promoting gender parity: women are one-half of the world's population and deserve equal access to health, education, economic participation and earning potential, and political decision-making power. However, it is pertinent to note that gender parity is also fundamental to whether and how economies and societies thrive. Ensuring the healthy development and appropriate use of half of the world's total talent pool has a vast bearing on the growth, competitiveness and future-readiness of economies and businesses worldwide.
A variety of models and empirical studies have suggested that improving gender parity may result in significant economic dividends, which vary depending on the situation of different economies and the specific challenges they are facing. Notable recent estimates suggest that economic gender parity could add an additional US$250 billion to the GDP of the United Kingdom, US$1,750 billion to that of the United States, US$550 billion to Japan's, US$320 billion to France's and US$310 billion to the GDP of Germany.13 Other recent estimates suggest that China could see a US$2.5 trillion GDP increase from gender parity14 and that the world as a whole could increase global GDP by US$5.3 trillion by 2025 if it closed its gender gap in economic participation by "just" 25% over the same period.15
Given associated government revenue shares in GDP, the latter achievement would also unlock an additional US$1.4 trillion in global tax revenue, most of it (US$940 billion) in emerging economies, suggesting the potential self-financing effects of additional public investment into closing global gender gaps.16 Indeed, compared to general public investment into labour market and education programmes, targeted gender equality promotion has been found to create a particularly strong impact on GDP. For example, targeted efforts to improve gender parity in the European Union could lead to an EU-wide GDP increase of between 6.1 to 9.6%, compared to an estimated 2.2% increase in EU-wide GDP from an equivalent untargeted public investment in improvements in general educational attainment across member states.17
Conversely, limiting women's access to labour markets is costly, as poor female labour force participation hampers economic growth.18 As a region, East Asia and the Pacific reportedly loses between US$42 billion and US$47 billion annually due to women's limited access to employment opportunities.19 Research by the World Bank demonstrates that similar restrictions have also imposed sizable costs throughout the Middle East and North Africa20 as well as Sub-Saharan Africa.21
This evident relationship between economic outcomes and gender parity and, in particular, the growing evidence of the positive effect of increasing gender parity on national income, is illustrated in Figure 9 (page 28) on the basis of the Global Gender Gap Index. The method of calculating the Global Gender Gap Index is unique in eliminating the direct impact of absolute levels of any of its constituent variables so that, as a result, any relationship to relative wealth of any of the economies covered by the Index is endogenous to the dynamics of closing the global gender gap.
As detailed in the previous section of the Report, the Global Gender Gap Index takes into account four critical dimensions when measuring the gaps between women and men's access to resources and opportunities: economic participation, education, health and politics. Across these four different dimensions we see a number of positive interdependencies as well as knock-on and multiplier effects that highlight the multi-faceted nature of the benefits of increased gender parity.
For example, increased gender parity in education lowers infant and child mortality rates, lowers maternal mortality rates, increases labour force participation rates and earnings, and fosters further educational investment in children. The World Bank finds, based on a sample of a wide range of developing countries, that investing in girls so that they would complete education at the same rate as boys would lead to lifetime earnings increases of today's cohort of girls of between 54% to 68% of countries' GDP, equivalent to an increase in annual GDP growth rates of about 1.5%.22 Conversely, girls' exclusion from education considerably hinders the productive potential of an economy and its overall development. In the East Asia and the Pacific region, specifically, it has been estimated that between US$16 billion to US$30 billion is lost annually as a result of gender gaps in education.23 Similar to investments in education, investing in health—and specifically in maternal, newborn and child health—has a significant multiplier effect.24
In the political sphere, women's engagement in public life has a positive impact on inequality across society at large. The issues that women advocate, prioritize and invest in have broad societal implications, touching on family life, education and health. Women's engagement in public life fosters greater credibility in institutions, and heightened democratic outcomes.25 In addition, there is a range of evidence—including findings by our Index (see Figure 10)—to suggest that women's political leadership and wider economic participation are correlated.
Across all countries, making full use of women's capabilities paves the way to optimizing a nation's human capital potential. This is evidenced in the strong relationship between the World Economic Forum's Global Gender Gap Index and Global Human Capital Index, presented in Figure 11. In other words, top performers in the Global Human Capital Index have succeeded in maximizing the development and deployment of their nation's talent by also narrowing their gender gaps.
Women's participation in the formal economy, or lack thereof, is also a business issue—costing women, companies and, ultimately, entire economies. Female talent remains one of the most under-utilized business resources, either squandered through lack of progression or untapped from the onset. Business leaders and governments increasingly note that tackling barriers to equality can unlock new opportunities for growth. In the World Economic Forum's Future of Jobs Survey, 42% of business leaders perceived addressing gender parity in their company as a matter of fairness and equality; yet more than a fifth of those surveyed also highlighted rationales closer to their core business: reflecting the changing gender composition of their customer base as well as enhancing corporate decision-making and innovation.
The combined impact of growing gender parity, a new middle class in emerging markets and women's spending priorities is expected to lead to rising household savings rates and shifting spending patterns, affecting sectors such as food, healthcare, education, childcare, apparel, consumer durables and financial services.26 With women controlling 65% of global household spending and estimated global consumer spending of currently US$40 trillion27 there are large potential benefits for companies with employees who can understand diverse customer bases.
Additionally, the global economy is currently in transition to a Fourth Industrial Revolution.28 In such a highly interconnected and rapidly changing world, diversity is critical to informed corporate decision-making and business innovation.29 When it comes to leadership positions, companies with top quartile representation of women in executive committees have been shown to perform better than companies with no women at the top—by some estimates as much as a 47% premium on average return on equity.30 Links also exist between having more women directors and corporate sustainability, as well as with economic growth, since more diverse leadership teams can cater to a broader array of stakeholder needs and concerns.31 Unlocking these benefits requires focused action to address the underlying causes of persistent gender gaps in a systemic way.

Q: Compiling regex program in clang for libstdc++ in C++14 mode causes errors I compiled clang 3.6.0 (trunk 219085) and g++ 4.9.1. In order to use the right libstdc++ (6.0.20), and not the one in my system, I have these environment variables:
set -x LD_LIBRARY_PATH /home/remyabel/gcc-4.9.1/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/libstdc++-v3/src/.libs /usr/local/lib
set -x PATH ~/install/gcc-4.9.1/bin /home/remyabel/llvm/build/Release+Asserts/bin /home/remyabel/llvm/build/Release+Asserts/lib $PATH

The following invocations work:
g++4.9 -std=c++11 test.cpp
g++4.9 -std=c++1y test.cpp
g++4.9 -std=c++14 test.cpp
clang++ -std=c++11 test.cpp

But C++14 mode for clang won't let it compile:
clang++ -std=c++1y test.cpp
clang++ -std=c++14 test.cpp

I can actually reproduce this problem on coliru (clang 3.5.0), so I don't think this issue is purely me.
libstdc++ errors
libc++ no errors

              std::sregex_token_iterator(),
              std::ostream_iterator<std::string>(std::cout, "\n"));
}

A: This isn't a clang bug. If anything, it's a GCC/libstdc++ bug. The relevant function is
constexpr bool
_M_end_of_seq()
{ return _M_result == nullptr; }

In C++11, constexpr member functions are implicitly const. In C++14, they are not. GCC doesn't currently implement this change in C++14 mode, which is why your code compiled.
You should be filing a bug against libstdc++, not clang.

Presidents and Their Pets
In honor of President's day on February 17th, we've complied a list of current and past president's and their beloved pets. From the advice of President Harry Truman
"If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog."
Check out the presidential pets below and let us know who are your favorite duo's!
President Barack Obama, the 44th president of the United States and our current president has two Portuguese Water dogs, Bo and Sunny. Bo the older of the two Portuguese water dogs was born on October 9, 2008 and was a gift to the presidential family from Senator Kennedy. With Presidential daughter Malia's allergy to dogs, the Obama family knew they would need a hypoallergenic breed. Bo received his name from President Obama's two daughters, Malia and Sasha in ode to musician Bo Diddley. Sunny, the "perfect little sister for BO" was born June 11, 2012 and adopted from a breeder because according to President Obama "Bo was starting to look a little down in the dumps." Sunny was named after her energetic and cheerful disposition.
President Bill Clinton had two pets while in office, a male chocolate Labrador retriever named Buddy and an adopted stray cat named Socks. Buddy came into President Clinton's life as a 3 month old puppy and was named after President Clinton's deceased uncle Oren "Buddy" Grisham. It is public knowledge that Socks and Buddy were far from best friends, and were kept in separate quarters in the white house. Unfortunately upon leaving the white house, and moving into a smaller home, socks was left under the care of Clinton's secretary as the current living situation for both pets were no longer attainable. Sadly according to the police report, on January 2, 2002 Buddy was killed by a car at the Clinton's New York home while president Clinton was away. In 2005, Clinton brought Seamus another chocolate lab into his home.
Mildred 'Millie" Kerr Bush (January 12, 1985-May 19, 1997), the English Spring Spaniel of Barbara and President George H.W. Bush, is said to be one of the most famous presidential pets. Named after Mildred Caldwell Kerr, a long-time friend of the Bushes, Millie is also the mother of another White House Pet, President George W. Bush's dog Spot. In addition to producing White House Pets, Millie was mentioned in President Bush's 1992 speech for re-election, saying "My dog Millie knows more about foreign affairs than these two bozos" in reference to opposition candidates at the time. Rounding out Millie's list of accomplishments is her book, Millie's Book: As Dictated to Barbara Bush which reached #1 on the New York Times bestseller nonfiction list. Millie died of pneumonia in 1997 at age 12.
Rex (December 16, 1984-August 31, 1998) was a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel owned by Nancy and President Ronald Reagan during his term in office as the 40th president of the United States. Rex came into the Reagan's lives when Lucky, a Bouvier des Flandres, outgrew the White House and was moved to the Reagan's Rancho del Cielo in California. Rex moved in as a present to Nancy on December 6th 1985 and named for Rex Scouten, a White House Chief Usher. Rex gained fame after undergoing a tonsillectomy and was treated lavishly with a doghouse built by the Washington Children's Museum which included framed portraits of the President and Nancy and included red window drapes. Rex is known to have a disliking for the Lincoln Bedroom which is said to have been haunted by the ghost of Lincoln, refusing to enter the room and would stand outside and bark through the doorway. Rex's fame is said to be responsible for the sudden popularization of the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel in America following Reagan's presidency. Rex lived to the age of 13 with the Reagan family until he was euthanized after developing an enlarged heart.
President John F. Kennedy and his family were no strangers to pets, owning five horses, five dogs, two hamsters, a rabbit, a cat, a canary and 2 parakeets. Although we would love to feature all of them, we would like to direct your attention to Pushinka. Pushinka, russian for "Fluffy", was a mixed-breed puppy, and gift to President Kennedy's daughter Caroline during the height of the Cold War from Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev. Pushinka was a puppy of Stekla, a Soviet space dog that orbited the planet aboard Sputnik 2 in 1960. It is said that Pushinka arrived to the white house at six months old with her own Russian passport. Pushinka settled well in the White House, learned to climb the ladder into Caroline's playhouse, slide down the slide and even went as far as having four puppies with Caroline Kennedy's welsh terrier Charlie.

Govt to collect data on OBC caste for Census 2021
In a move considered politically sensitive ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, government has decided to collect data on Other Backwards Castes (OBCs) in Census 2021.
The disclosure of the decision to collect the OBC data came after Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh reviewed the preparation for the Census 2021.
The National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO), a wing of the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation, had announced a sample survey report on the country's population in 2006 and suggested that the OBC population in the country is around 41 per cent of the total population. The NSSO had enumerated 79,306 households in rural areas and 45,374 in urban regions.
The ruling government is expected to highlight the decision to collect OBC data in the 2021 census in the run up to the 2019 Lok Sabha polls as several OBC groups have been demanding for it for long.
In 2011, the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government had conducted the Socio Economic and Caste Census and its findings were released on July 3, 2015 by the present National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government.

Santa Clara approves $10M for 49er stadium funds
SANTA CLARA, Calif.
Right now, there is a large parking lot that in four years it could be a brand new state of the art 49ers stadium. Tuesday night, the Santa Clara City Council voted unanimously to spend $10 million to get the lot ready for construction.
"It's a very exciting, kind of soft ground breaking, so in January when you go out there, you'll see bull dozers out there moving dirt around and leveling out that vacant, wavy empty lot," said Santa Clara Mayor Jaime Matthews.
The money will pay for moving utility lines and installing sidewalks.
"There's a lot of excitement for the team, they're doing well and that excitement will definitely help build a new stadium," said Fred Santillan, the 49ers Booster Club president.
"They're wasting our money," said Deborah Bress, a Santa Clara resident.
Some still oppose the stadium plan, which will cost roughly $1 billion. The 49ers have agreed to foot most of the bill, while the city will spend a maximum of $40 million. As for the $10 million for pre-construction, $4 million is redevelopment money and the other $6 million will come from a loan, but the terms are still undefined.
"I think the people of Santa Clara should be absolutely appalled that they are moving forward with this without having the proper things in place," said Bress.
"My concerns have always been the risks to the city and the overall cost to the city," said Councilmember Jaime McLeod.
McLeod has always questioned this deal, but after learning the $6 million loan from the 49ers will be forgiven, if the entire plan falls apart, even she supported this move.
One very noticeable thing that was missing from Tuesday night's meeting was all of the public comments. Those normally vocal stadium supporters and opponents were silent. They say they're gearing up for the Dec. 6th city council meeting where all of the financial terms will be laid out.


There is a lot more story to tell (and stuff to show) about this wonderfully livable and accessible home than photos alone can capture.
So, when the fabulous Chibi Moku team decided to film in the Pacific Northwest for a few weeks this summer, Karen and I jumped at the opportunity. Enjoy!


The Afro-Portuguese restaurant chain Nando's plans to expand in the UAE next year.
The fast-food chain, which opened its first restaurant in the Emirates a decade ago, currently has 11 outlets in the country and aims to eventually double the number.
It will open restaurants in Abu Dhabi city for the first time next year.
"Ten years is a long time and we have strived hard to make this possible," said Suhail Gidwani, the chief executive of Nando's, UAE.
Nando's has several restaurants in Dubai, including in The Greens and The Dubai Mall, as well as outlets in Sharjah and Al Ain.
It is understood that the chain will open two restaurants in the capital next year. The brand has not revealed where the restaurants will be, but said they will be in "prominent locations".
"Dubai is a fantastic place and it has been a joy for us to have woven ourselves into UAE's family friendly restaurant scene. We are committed to capitalise the Afro-Portuguese authentic flavours to various locations in the UAE. With our presence in 11 outlets, the power of Nando's is surpassing anything we ever expected," said Mr Gidwani.
"Our current focus is Abu Dhabi and looking ahead, we endeavour to double the number of restaurants we have today," he added.
Nando's draws inspiration from ancient civilisation where people used fire to cook and is famous for its peri-peri chicken.
The chain, which operates in 30 countries and has more than 1,000 restaurants, was founded in 1987 in a mining town in Johannesburg but its origins lie in Mozambiquan-Portuguese cuisine.
Portuguese settlers in Mozambique were introduced to African bird's eye chili, also known as peri-peri, which was used in local recipes.
When Mozambicans of Portuguese origins moved to Johannesburg in search of jobs in the gold mining industry, they brought peri peri recipes with them.
According to Euromonitor, the UAE restaurants sector was worth about US$1.15 billion (Dh4.22bn) last year, and is expected to increase to $1.21bn this year and continue to rise next year to $1.42bn.

…of this still unnamed project. SORRY.
Taryn is our leading lady. There are some other female characters floating around in my mind, but she's the only female POV the story will follow.
Taryn has short, dirty blond hair that she tries to keep back, but usually ends up in her face anyway. She has a long, oval face and sharp features and green eyes to fit it.
When the story begins she is 21 years old and a member of the mysterious Corps.
Cather is Taryn's partner and long-time best friend. They grew up together, joined the Corps as a team, and managed to stay that way.
Cather is tall and slender, with hazel eyes and dark brown hair that's usually perfect. He comes across as arrogant and attractive in the way that moneyed people usually do.
Cather is a year older than Taryn, and comes from a wealthy noble family.
Jackson is the baby of the tale. He is a day dreaming teen-aged barkeep from the Outer Provinces. He's whisked into the world of the Corps and the government and the wealthy inner provinces by a chance meeting with Taryn.
He has black hair, blue eyes, and full lips, giving him a puppy-ish look he doesn't know how to use to his advantage. He's excitable and out spoken, and has strong ideals.
Most of the action of the novel is centered around Jackson and his decisions. He is the primary mover of the plot and probably the main protagonist.
Stay tuned for world building next week! (UGH that's going to be the hardest part of this plotting thing and I'm really not looking forward to it).

(76) Normally, exclaiming that you "didn't hate" a movie would hardly be an endorsement. Some situations, however, do not fit the mold. I loathe remakes and also hold an enormous amount respect for John Carpenter's own reimagining of The Thing. Admitting that I didn't despise this prequel/remake-of-sorts is actually a compliment. It's not all that scary, and the monster designs do start to get tired, but 2011's Thing can't be charged with diminishing what's come before it.


What does swag stand for funny.
What does swag stand for funny. Corvallis resident Lisa Sheperd was at the Memorial Union listening to Eid speak and said he hit the nail on the head.
How does promoting this kind of hate, help peace?
While anti-Semitism is not new, it is repeating and on the rise — again — and she passionately urged the audience to respond before its too gay christians uk by helping StandWithUs grow.
We will continue to educate people and fight back against hatred towards Israel and Jews around the world.
To date, the administration still has not opened a full investigation into these incidents.
It requires a lot of work and a lot of education.


Either way, you should NEVER deviate from basic strategy. Some of the choices might seem wrong to you somehow. That doesn't matter. Make the mathematically correct decision anyway.
You might have a hunch about how the hand is going to play out. Ignore your hunches, and follow basic strategy instead.
The difference between using basic strategy and just guessing at how to play each hand is huge.
Want to know how huge?
Assume you're playing perfect basic strategy in an average game. The house has a 1% edge. You're playing 60 hands per hour at $10 per hand. Your mathematically expected loss per hour is $6.
If you're just playing your hunches, the house edge is between 3% and 4%. We'll assume that your hunches are especially lucky, and the house edge is only 3%. Your mathematically expected loss per hour is $18.
Blackjack is entertainment, just like going to a movie. Suppose you went to a movie theater, and the counter person told you that you could buy a ticket to a movie for $6 or $18, your choice. No difference between the movie, your seat, or anything else.
You wouldn't choose the $18 ticket, would you?
Ignoring basic strategy is the same as buying the $18 ticket.
3. Thou shalt not take insurance.
A common beginner mistake is to take insurance. But insurance is actually one of the worst bets you can take.
The dealer has an ace as her up card. She asks you if you want to take insurance.
If you say yes, you put up a second bet equal to half of your original bet. If the dealer has a 10 in the hole (a blackjack), you win 2 to 1 on the insurance bet. You still lose your original wager.
If you're playing for $10 per hand, insurance is a $5 bet that pays off $10. But you lose your original $10 wager if the dealer has a blackjack, which is basically a tie—a win of $10 combined with a loss of $10 is a net gain of 0.
On the other hand, if the dealer doesn't have a blackjack, you lose the $5. You might win or lose the hand, but that $5 is gone.
What are the odds that a dealer actually has a 10 in the hole?
The 10, J, Q, and K are all listed on the same line because they all have the same value—you have 4 possible 10s. You have 9 other possibilities.
Your odds of the dealer's hole card being a 10 are 9 to 4. You have 9 ways to get a result of anything BUT a 10, and only 4 ways to get a result of 10.
Those aren't good odds. Basically, your chances of winning that insurance bet are only about 30.7%. You shouldn't take bets that pay off 2 to 1 if your chances of winning are only 30.7%.
You take insurance 100 times for $5 each time. You win about 30.7% of those bets, but you lose about 69.3% of those bets.
When you win, you get $10. In those 100 hands, you've won about $300.70 (30.7 X $10).
When you lose, you lose $5. In those 100 hands, you've lost $346.50 (69.3 X $5).
Your net loss is almost $50 for every one hundred insurance bets.
The ONLY time you should take insurance is when you're counting cards. Depending on the system you're using, you can get an edge taking insurance when the "insurance index" is at a certain level. For example, if you're using the Hi-Lo Card Counting system, the insurance index is 3—you would take insurance if the true count is 3 or higher. Otherwise, you'll turn insurance down, too.
NEVER take insurance unless you're counting cards.
4. Thou shalt not split 4s, 5s, or 10s.
Of course, if you're following the commandment about playing according to basic strategy, you'll never make the mistake of splitting 4s, 5s, or 10s, but even so—some players get confused on these hands.
Why wouldn't you want to split 10s?
You'd get 2 chances to get a blackjack. That sounds like a good deal to a lot of players.
The problem is that 12 times out of 13, you'll miss that ace. You might still have a good hand, but a total of 20 is way better than two hands with a 1 in 12 chance of getting a blackjack.
Why wouldn't you want to split 5s?
In this case, you're trading the opportunity to double down on a total of 10 for 2 inferior hands. In fact, a 5 is one of the worst hands you can start with. No additional card is going to turn a 5 into a good hand. It takes multiple good cards to do that.
If you have a 5 and you get dealt a 10, then you have a total of 15. That's nothing to get excited about. If you're dealt an 8 or 9, you have a total of 13 or 14. I don't know anyone who's going to get excited about either of those totals.
In fact, the best you can hope for with a 5 as your first card is to be dealt a 6, giving you a total of 11. Even then, you have another card to come, and most of the time it won't be an ace.
Why wouldn't you want to split 4s?
A pair of 4s is similar to a pair of 5s, except you don't get to double down most of the time. With a pair of 5s, you can double down and hope for an ace or a 10. But with a pair of 4s, if you double down and get a 10, you have a respectable total of 18.
But if 4 is a starting card, you're in the same boat as if you had a 5. The best you can hope for is a 7, which gives you 11, but you still have to hope for that 10 on the next card.
So follow basic strategy. But even if you don't follow basic strategy, never split 4s, 5s, or 10s. In fact, memorizing that covers a tiny percentage of basic strategy decisions already.
5. Thou shalt always split aces and 8s.
If you have a pair of aces, you're looking at a soft total 12. That's not a hand to be excited about. It's not terrible, but it's not exciting.
On the other hand, if you split those aces, you get 2 chances at hitting a blackjack. You'll miss most of the time, but you'll hit your natural a little less than a third of the time.
If you have a pair of 8s, you're looking at a hard total of 16. That's not such a great hand. Against half of the dealer's up cards, you'll want to stand—but you'll often lose to a higher total from the dealer. The other half the time, you'll have to hit, but in those cases, you'll bust a lot of the time.
On the other hand, an 8 isn't a bad first card. You'll get a total of 18 if one of the four 10s in the deck comes up next. If you get a 9, then you've got a respectable total of hard 17.
But the main reason you always split 8s—indeed, the main reason you always split aces and never split 4s,5s, and 10s—is because it's the highest expected value play in that situation.
Pay attention to commandments 4 and 5, and you'll have much of the basic strategy for splitting pairs memorized.
You're well on your way, now.
6. Thou shalt not imitate the dealer's strategy.
Common sense might seem to indicate that if the house has an edge using their strategy, maybe you could get an edge—or at least eliminate the house's edge—by using an identical strategy.
What common sense forgets is that the house isn't playing by the same rules.
The dealer checks for a total of 21 before allowing the players a chance to play their hands. If she has a 21, she wins, and you don't even get to try to get a push.
If she doesn't have a 21, all the players have to play their hands before the dealer plays hers. If a player busts, the dealer wins instantly. Even if the dealer busts later, she won those bets from the players who acted before she did.
That's a huge advantage, and it's the main reason that imitating the dealer's strategy makes no sense. Stick with basic strategy, please.
7. Thou shalt not criticize other players' decisions.
The players who criticize the other players' decisions are irritated because they're proceeding from a faulty assumption. They think that a player who acts before them and makes a mistake has hurt their chances of winning. In reality, this isn't the case.
The math changes a little bit every time a card is dealt, true. But that doesn't always mean that a player's mistake hurts you. Depending on the cards, it might help you just as often.
Blackjack critics never chastise other players when this happens, though.
8. Thou shalt not reinvent the wheel.
Basic strategy has already been invented. It's a wheel.
Card counting has already been invented. It's another wheel.
Trying to come up with a new system of getting the best odds against the dealer in blackjack is a futile endeavor. We already know how to minimize the house's odds. We even already know how to get an edge against the casino.
Instead of trying to come up with some new way to minimize the house edge or get an edge over the casino, just learn the basics.
You don't have to reinvent the wheel to win more at blackjack.
9. Thou shalt not stand on soft 13 through 17.
Soft hands throw a lot of players off. They don't have to, though. Just memorize basic strategy, and don't deviate from it.
In some cases, the correct strategy for a soft 13, 14, 15, 16, or 17 will be to hit. In other cases, doubling down is the correct strategy.
Standing on these totals is never the correct strategy.
10. Thou shalt not kill the golden goose.
If you find a way to get an edge over the casino, don't do stupid stuff to eliminate that edge. For most people, this means using some restraint when counting cards.
You find a casino offering a good game. You estimate that you have an edge of 2% over the casino in this situation. You play blackjack for 8 hours and make a nice profit.
You come in during the same shift the next day, and play for 8 more hours.
You keep playing until they notice you're always winning, and they ban you from the casino.
In reality, you won't get away with counting cards at the same table for more than 45 minutes. You shouldn't even try. Stick with short 30-45 minute sessions when you find a positive situation.
When your session is up, move on to another profitable session at another casino.
Don't hit the same casino during the same shift every day, either. Mix it up.
Your goal as a card counter is to remain as forgettable and anonymous as possible. The last thing you want is to be recognized by the staff as a "regular".
You might have seen the movie 21. If so, you probably think you should act like a drunk or a rich gambler from a foreign country in order to get away with placing a really big bet and making a big score when the count is in your favor.
That's not how it's really done—not for most people, anyway.
If you do get some heat from the casino, don't argue. Collect your chips and leave. You don't even want to stick around long enough to cash in your chips.
You can come back in and cash your chips during a different shift later that week.
Then stay out of the casino for 6 months. When you return, don't play during the shift when you got heat. After a year, you might be able to hit that shift again, but don't try any sooner than that.
A lot of card counters who lack patience get banned for life.
Blackjack isn't the most complicated game in the world. But it's easy to make mistakes that can cost you a lot of money over time. And if you aspire to be more than a recreational player, you have to get your percentage of mistakes to near zero to succeed.
Most of the "commandments" on this page are intended to increase your enjoyment of the game, not decrease it. I've never met a blackjack gambler who didn't prefer winning over losing. These tips will increase your odds for the former and decrease your odds for the latter.

Stockton gives you plethora of reasons to drop everything and plan a trip to this magnificent city. If Captain Charles M. Weber had alive today, he would have been astound on seeing the remarkable progress that the city has achieved with the passage of time. How beautifully it has flourished since its beginning, indeed! From the settlement of village, "Pasasimas" to the establishment of world-renowned companies, historical and cultural sites, entertainment hubs, world-famed eateries, performing arts centers, myriads of schools, colleges and universities, hospitals and health cares, chains of banks, plush hotels, bars, clubs, & discotheques, recreational spots, and shopping centers, the city doesn't need to put forward anything else as a testimony of its achievements over the years. Travelers you might be all ears while we were proclaiming city's extraordinaire and assets. Then, what are you waiting for? Pack your bags, take all your favorite stuff with you and leave for Stockton right away and detach yourself from diurnal hustles and bustles.
To know where to go, what to see, what to eat, where to stay, and when to visit the city, check out this comprehensive travel guide to Stockton and make your holidays picture-perfect and memorable.


The AWHL announced the 2012-2013 All-Star team and Gillette found three of its own players named to the team. On the AWHL first team were forwards Tyler Cavan and Taylor Motsinger. Named to the second all-star team was defensmen Moco Willis. All three of these players have had a great year with the Wild, and hope to help their team through out the playoffs. These three players alone have accounted for over 230 points, but will be the first to tell you that it is a team game and could not have done it without their teamates. The Wild will take on the Yellowstone Quake in the first round of the playoffs and look for these three and the rest of the team to come up big to advance to the second round.


1. If you work at the company you are referring us to, Referral/Finder's Fees might become a little sticky. Please clear it with your boss if they are interested in using our services. If for some reason you are not allowed to receive a Referral/Finder's Fee, we will be glad to send a check to your favorite charity, or waive the fee completely. We really just want to help good companies become great ones, help people, and make a living in the process.
2. Let's talk money! Upon receipt of payment from a client you referred to us we will send you a check for the appropriate amount. Our "Referral/Finder's Fee Program" is based on a week of paid services, meaning a minimum of four (4) to (5) consecutive days. Occasionally we might encounter a situation when fewer than four (4) consecutive days are billable to the client, this would not qualify for the "Referral/Finder's Fee Program". Generally speaking, we almost always provide our services in four (4) or five (5) consecutive day segments.
3. The first person to refer us to a specific company is the only person who receives a Referral/Finder's fee. A list of companies for TPS to "check-out" is not a referral. Referrals must come from using the process stated in the previous page or some other TPS approved method. If you refer us to a company we have already been working with or trying to engage, these are not referrals that earn Referral/Finder's or Continuation fees.
4. The "Referral/Finder's Fee Program" relates only to the initial company referral, not other divisions or branches of the same company or other referrals we might acquire while working with the original company i.e., you refer us to "Jack's Machining" in Denver, whenever we work for "Jack's Machining" (in Denver), you are paid the appropriate fee. If we work for "Jack's Machining" in Sacramento, that is a different client, as is a referral we gained at "Jack's Machining" for a plumbing supply co. in Cleveland, and so on.
5. A "paid week" of services means that the client actually pays the bill they owe. We offer a "Pay For Performance Guarantee" that states: "If a client is not satisfied with services received for any reason, all consulting fees will be removed from the client's invoice." We have never failed to satisfy a client and don't plan to start, but if we work at a client's plant all week and they decide not to pay, then that is their prerogative. Of course, if we don't get paid for any reason, we don't pay a Referral/Finder's or a Continuation fee. This should never be an issue, but we need to be clear. It should also be noted that it doesn't matter if there are one or ten TPS people on the job at the same time, each paid week generates only one (1) Referral/Finder's or Continuation fee.
6. What about taxes? We do not take out taxes or pay any sort of benefits in any way. You are an "Independent Contractor" and will be completely responsible for any taxes, reporting, etc. At the end of the year we will send you a "1099" form that you will have to claim as "other income" on your taxes. We are not tax experts and do not give tax advice.
7. You are likely not an expert in Lean mfg. and are not expected to be one. When people ask you for more details about Lean mfg., please direct them to TPS. You are not an employee of TPS and do not represent the company in any way. This is not to say we don't value our association, but to relieve you of any implied responsibility for results achieved or not through TPS. Please do not contact anyone stating that you work for TPS. You are an "Independent Contractor" and mostly, just a friend or acquaintance of those who might be interested in our help. Please allow us to help the prospective client see the benefits of implementing Lean. You are not expected to do any "selling".
8. Once one of your referrals becomes a "paying client" your name becomes associated with that client for as long as TPS-ThroughPut Solutions remains in operation. You become the sole receiver of Referral/Finder's Fees and Continuation Fees thereafter for that account.
9. Bill Hanover, CCO of TPS-ThroughPut Solutions reserves the right to make changes to the "Referral/Finder's Fee Program" or terminate it at any time and without notice. Since we cannot predict every possible scenario or special conditions related to referrals, we will do our best to be prudent and fair both legally and ethically if a special situation requiring additional consideration should arise. We also reserve the right to pursue any referrals we choose, and are not obligated to pursue referrals we do not wish to pursue.
10. This offer applies only to those individuals who contract with TPS-ThroughPut Solutions and are approved by a senior TPS partner for participation in the "Referral/Finder's Fee Program". It is by TPS invitation only that others may participate and enjoy the benefits of this program. We do not make retroactive payments or other payments for referrals given outside the bounds of this agreement.
Agreement: I have read and understand the contents of this document and agree to the terms and conditions outlined herein. Furthermore, I will do nothing to discredit or injure in any way TPS-ThroughPut Solutions, their staff, or clients, and will not hold them responsible for referrals that do not result in paying jobs or clients that do not pay the fees they owe. This agreement is made with an understanding of mutual trust and in anticipation of a long and prosperous relationship. We Succeed Together.
These are the terms of the "Referral/Finder's Fee Program". If we decide to collaborate in this way we will send you an email with an attached form/contract stating this information which both TPS and You (the Referrer), will sign and date. Please feel free to call (435)-792-4380 if you would like to discus the program any further. We will gladly do our best to answer any questions you might have.


We revolutionize communication between people. Speak and your voice will be heard!
Understanding one another is the first step in interaction with people. Communication makes up the basic foundation of tolerance, friendship, business and understanding the actions of others. When you get to speak your own language, you say what you want to say, not what you know how to say.
Youpret was born out of the desire to help and take care of matters in a manner as least complicated as possible. Kurdish Ali Giray, who came to Finland from Turkey as a refugee, found himself due to pratical reasons with no choice but to work as an interpreter for his parents, friends and eventually even for total strangers. He saw with his own eyes how life can come to a halt because of the smallest and most insignifcant things if there is no common language between speakers. In time Ali became the owner of an interpretation company. Over the entire duration of his entrepreneurship he has had a burning desire to help parties understand one another. Youpret was born when Ali was searching for a solution to distant interpreting. By combining knowledge of applications and business with two other companies, Youpret was born.
Youpret brings interpretation services within grabbing reach of all people big and small. When you order our service on the internet, an interpreter will call you within minutes. There has never before been a service on the market like Youpret. Interpretation has been handled thus far by organizing, which is based on booking appointments, piecing together schedules and traveling from one place to the next. This is expensive and for that reason unattainable to many consumer groups.
We wish to revolutionize communication between people. Youpret is a huge opportunity for those who understand how significant of a benefit easily and immediately accessible, simple communication brings to the table in regards to handling matters, doing business and customer service, both to workplaces and to the public sector. It saves resources because time is spent speaking. It minimizes misunderstandings and fumbling around, which at the end of the day makes for saving both time and money. It makes communication faster and allows things to move smoothly forward.
Youpret also revolutionizes the costs of interpreting. Customers pay only for the time spent interpreting. Not for travel costs and time, because Youpret's interpreters don't travel anywhere. Not for waiting, because interpreters and customers are free to do anything else until the assignment goes through. Youpret is also fair: we pay the lion's share of the customer's paid fee to the interpreter. In this way interpreters can earn quite a good amount of money even with the shortest of interpretation gigs.
We do away with the old approach and bring to light a new possibility where the seed of tolerance and equality grows. We believe in the law of supply and demand – a good and cost-effective services will find its users from the web.
Let your speech blossom in your own language! Youpret – get the point!
