If enough is good, too much must be better.
I think this sentence pretty much sums it up.
For those that have been on site site for more than a year, do you think this is "normal" for folks who are just getting started and does this subside once you've reached a point where your budget, lifestyle and investing habits have stabilized? Or, once you've "seen the light" do you stay hyper-focused on all things financial?
I think this is normal. The quality of information found here is top notch. I enjoy reading about topics that I don't know much about. There are so many contributors that I feel are like rock stars when it comes to the depth of knowledge they have on a particular subject. There are several areas that I have learned a lot from reading discussions on this board.
One area in which I have learned a lot is taxes. I now keep an excel spread sheet throughout the year that tracks taxable events and I compare my results with what turbo tax comes up with at tax time. This has helped me a lot in terms of tax planning. It has also given me more confidence. It has resulted in spin off spread sheets such as the one where I have calculated planned Roth conversions for the next few years.
I also did a spreadsheet in accordance with the "Asking a Portfolio Question" format found here viewtopic.php?f=1&t=6212 After I had put all the data in my spreadsheet, I found that I could answer my own questions. I continue to update it as it serves as a good overview. It also keeps me mindful of my overall expense ratio on my portfolio (which is another thing I track on the spreadsheet).
I also did another spin off spreadsheet titled Composition and Value of Estate listing separate and jointly owned property (and life insurance) which I continue to update (I print out a copy of it in every year and put it with our estate papers).
Anyway, you may have noted a theme here (spread sheets ). I think initially figuring out stuff and putting it into spread sheet form takes me a bit of time. But, maintaining takes a bit less time.
I appreciate all of the sage input - it's reassuring to know that folks have gone (or going) through a similar process.
I love this - thanks Rick! I think this could be woven into a getting started section.
After almost a decade and a half on this site and its predecessor, I know where you're coming from.
If you're like most, you'll realize there is no benefit to being on here every day after the first year and you'll go do something else. If you're like a few of us, you'll transition to helping others rather than trying to learn yourself.
Thanks White Coat - my goal is to get to the point where I can pass it forward, but there's still a lot to learn until then.
I use to suffer from information overload and worried that I'd miss something. But I found a cure. I taught Excel to do my worrying for me.
I've learned that I can't handle pure theory, I need simple action steps. If a BH theory can't be converted into simple action steps then I can't use it.
--With no simple action steps, then I ignore issues of pure theory.
--With simple action steps, then I code a test (or marco) into Excel to check for the condition.
Throw in a little Excel (1) conditional formatting to draw my attention to conditions that need my action (AA rebalance needed, TLH opportunity, RBD determination---eventually figured it out ,…), and (2) its required simple action step as notes in cell comments to remind me of my necessary actions for each condition,… and I stopped worrying that I'd miss something.
Today, I may spend 5 minutes downloading new price data, but Excel double-checks everything I need to do/remember from 1 Jan to 31 Dec.
Now with more time and much less to worry about, I've even found it interesting to read books about history---investing and other, never liked history in HS---and work on home projects.
I just do my best to separate my interest in learning about investing and my practice of it. The former is the hobby while the latter is a means to an end....if that makes sense.
"Too much ain't enough." --Tom Petty.
I'm reading "Pride and Prejudice ". Nice counter-balance to Bogleheads.org.
It's a different book (Sense & Sensibility rather than Pride and Prejudice), but I can't help sharing a favorite Jane Austen quote on matters financial: "People always live for ever when there's an annuity to be paid them."

I think I spend at least an hour (on average) a day on this site.
I kind of get where you are coming from. I've been here not quite a year and have spent far more time here than i ever would have guessed. I am a bit obsessive about message boards and this has become my obsession vs sports or political forums in the past. At least in the process I am learning something useful.
The board has been useful in kind of getting us back on track spending wise, although we still have a ways to go.
2900+ posts in less than a year? That has to be some sort of record!
If you're like a few of us, you'll transition to helping others rather than trying to learn yourself.
I've always found that the best way to make sure I understand something is to try to explain it to someone who doesn't understand it. Nothing like tutoring or teaching a class to really cement your understanding of the material. As I've read and learned here, I try to respond to threads both to pay it forward by helping someone else and to reinforce my own understanding.
Perhaps a related syndrome... until recently I "peeked" way too much at my holdings. I also looked sometimes two or three times a day at my checking and credit card accounts. I can't explain the compulsion, it was just there.
In fact, just the other day, I realized that DW's payday had come and gone, a day when I typically sit down and pay monthly bills. It had slipped completely by me, and further, I didn't even care. Everything is on autopilot, so why bother even looking?
You're in the complexity stage. Once you get through that, you'll be able to disconnect for long periods and not think you're missing something.
An excellent description of the phases, Rick!
"People always live for ever when there's an annuity to be paid them."
So, that's why so many folks on this site recommend annuities!!!
I joined this site a few months back and am blown away with the amount of knowledge and support of this site.
Between this site and the recommended books I have learned a tremendous amount and have become a more savvy and attentive investor.
yup. once you get the hang of it then its fun to pay it back.
And for some, there's a 5th stage of further simplicity; Just buy one, low-cost, globally diversified balanced fund and just don't bother with it at all, including rebalancing, because that's being done for you. Probably 90% of the people I work with (not in the finance industry) would find managing a few total market funds anything but simple. Family members I've helped with this, I always ended up recommending a balanced fund, because I hardly had to fire a neuron to realize anything more than one fund would be too complex for them.
"Don't let the perfect get in the way of the good." I try to keep that in mind when dealing with most decisions, big and small. I try to avoid diminishing returns on the use of my time and try to understand when I know "enough" to make a decision. I use this forum to occasionally ask a question when I am uncertain - there are many, many folks here who are knowledgeable and have experience to draw upon. Every once and a while I will comment if I think it might be useful. But, my visits here average probably 2 hours a week in total, which is okay for my interests.
A low-cost globally diversified balanced fund is a strategy for simplicity and a good #4 solution. It's not another stage. Don't complicate things!
Me too. I love this forum, though. For now, I'll consider it a healthy addiction; although as an English teacher I realize this might be an oxymoron.
I check in once in a while. But, "stay the course" and "set and forget" gives a liberation from checking the DOJ and even BH on a regular basis. Figure out your risk tolerance and asset allocations, and then go fishing!
I was super duper active and thinking when I first joined. Two, actually 3, things have reduced the time I spend here.
1) Getting my portfolio and plan to a relatively set it and forget it phase.
3) Getting married and having a couple of kids I have to chase around all the time.
Finance is way less important than family and friends.
You imply that the site is having a negative impact on your life and that you may be too obsessed. I am not one to judge. You may be getting addicted to the site, the way people get addicted to social media. I would humbly suggest that you do some soul searching, and if you feel this is the case, maybe you need to deal with it....even if it means going cold turkey.
As you have probably figured out, intelligent finance is simple, and you probably have enough info by now to proceed intelligently.
I come here too much.
I spend 30 minutes a day on Bogleheads and enjoy it. If I felt it was a problem I would limit it to an hour.
I spend time here to TRY to help others get to step 4. It is difficult at times to give advice to help people move through the stages. They have to move through the steps at their own pace. Explore the tilts, factors, high yield, dividend strategies and the like.
I thought the OP's post and question was very insightful. It doesn't seem uncommon that once you engross yourself in something, it kind of sticks with you off and on all the time. Finding balance is often easier said than done.
Message boards, like any other form of social media, can be very addicting.
I find it hard to find a balance in terms of personal spending. I've gone through periods where I have a frugal mindset, but it also causes me to be cheap. You find it annoying every time you go to Taco Bell and they ask for a $1 donation. You start nickel and diming insignificant items. Then you loosen up, and over many years you find you are freely spending and wasting money all over the place.
+1 - This is a great way to break it down. I'm at 3 1/2 right now. I, like you, spent a lot of time on this site trying to consume all the information I could. The more I've learned, the more I've realized there is really less for me to do. If anything, I've gone to 4 and started to slide backwards trying to "optimize" which isn't efficient. Sometimes stopping by the forum reinforces staying in 4 for and not going backwards.
I love the Bogleheads forums!!
But it is also a wealth of incredibly valuable information from many very smart people. Anything, financial or otherwise, that I'm looking for input on I can find here.
The Bogleheads Forum is not just a place to come, learn, and leave. For many of us, it's a community. We know a little about other people's lives, congratulate them on their milestones and feel sorry about their setbacks. We don't discuss just finance, but also mundane issues such as Costco shopping and cellular providers. We don't come here just to ask, but also to respond to questions to the extend of our expertise.
It is natural to spend more time in a community than at a targeted source of information.
I can relate. I too have become obsessed for the last 20 years. I kind of put myself in my own self-inflicted prison and lost interest on other things because this obsession became all I wanted to talk about or read about.
All I can say is too much of a good thing is well. . . not good. Once you get a plan in place, the best thing that can happen to you is that you don't even think about investing. I am trying to do this, but it is a struggle. The problem with coming here too often is you may read something that makes sense and you start second guessing your plan (if it is different). I did this with my asset allocation and it kind of worked out (pure luck), but going forward I would be much better off if I never came here again and I don't open my retirement statements until the day I retire.
Good Luck, once you get the bug, it may always be a struggle.

All it takes is a bear market, and your portfolio going down 30 percent or more, and you won't be quite as obsessed with investing.
The Philly area just got hit with some thunderstorms and my power got knocked out.
What's the first thing I did? Setup my laptop and cellphone tether to login to the forum.
You get to worry more about finances then.
My daughter is on a train to Philly and that storm knocked out the trains power. They got going again now they are stopped near Paoli due to a tree has fallen across the tracks.
FYI - Paoli is 5 minutes from Vanguard (Malvern PA).
If you don't pay attention to the moderators they can remove you for essentially not paying attention to the moderators.
If you stick to the topics you mentioned you will be fine.
I don't have any other place or group of folks I trust to ask random questions to that are only distantly related to finance and have full confidence I will get educated and well thought out advice on any topic one can think to ask.
I love this forum MORE for that then for actual investing advice.

Kate Middleton Behaves "Like The Queen" Before Launching Her 'Biggest Project Ever' - "5 Big Questions"
After becoming a part of the royal family, Kate Middleton focused her life on charity work. Throughout the years, she showed her immense dedication to the country and managed to earn the Queen's trust, who granted a number of patronages.
A post shared by Kensington Palace (@kensingtonroyal) on Sep 19, 2019 at 10:18am PDT
British cook Marry Berry once said that the Cambridge couple's approach to their work is 'remarkable' because they actually want to help. At the moment, Kate is a patron of over 10 different charities but recently she launched her biggest project so far.
Kate Middleton's news
Just a few days ago, the Duke and Duchess hosted their first event at Buckingham Palace. The couple held a reception on behalf of the Queen to celebrate the UK's tender relationship with Africa.

Kate Middleton stunned in a gorgeous red dress but body language expert Judi James noted that her behavior at the event was quite Queen-worthy.

James said that the Duchess kept a professional smile on, resembling no one other than Her Majesty. She shared:
Like the Queen, Kate's signature charisma involves continuity, meaning she tends to provide unchanging body language that is always upbeat, smiling and professional.
Perhaps the reason why Kate tried to behave her best was that she was preparing to launch a very exciting project, which is perhaps the peak of her charity career.
A post shared by Kensington Palace (@kensingtonroyal) on Jan 21, 2020 at 10:34pm PST
We know that the main focus of Kate's charity work is children so her biggest project is aimed at making positive changes in raising the next generation. It's called 5 Big Questions and it's a national survey that will involve the whole country.
The Duchess of Cambridge is launching her biggest ever project, a landmark nationwide survey on early childhood, following her eight years of work in the sector. Kate is on a 24hr national tour marking the launch, visiting Birmingham, London, Cardiff and Surrey #5BigQuestions

Kate is the Queen's priority
The Duchess hard work doesn't go unnoticed. She is loved by fans thanks to her:
down-to-earth nature;
dedication to the country and to the royal family;
strive to make the younger generation happier and healthier.
A post shared by Kensington Palace (@kensingtonroyal) on Jan 9, 2020 at 3:07am PST
A royal commentator Neil Sean noted that not only the British public sees how great Kate is. The Queen also knows that she can rely on her grandson's wife. Sean said:
A… notable feature within the last year is [Kate's] closeness to… the queen. We all know the queen has welcomed Meghan warmly into the royal family, but unlike Meghan, Kate has brought nothing but serenity to her majesty. No huge tabloid busts up with the in-laws and fathers.
A post shared by The Royal Family (@theroyalfamily) on Jan 9, 2020 at 2:30am PST
Moreover, the commentator states that Kate has become Her Majesty's biggest priority as the monarch is guiding her granddaughter-in-law on the path to the throne. It's hard to find a better person to become Queen Consort but it can take years before Kate would be crowned. However, she has plenty of time to learn all the intricacies of being the Queen from Her Majesty herself.

Main Title Advantages of Using Regression Analysis to Calculate Results of Chronic Toxicity Tests.
Although it is traditional to calculate results of chronic toxicity tests using hypothesis testing to detect statistically significant differences from the control, calculation of results using regression analysis offers several major advantages. Regression analysis can directly produce a point estimate of the concentration causing any specified amount of adverse effect. In addition, whereas the degrees of freedom, precision of the test, and selection of have no impact on results calculated using regression analysis, they have a great impact on results calculated using hypothesis testing. Further, use of regression analysis emphasizes the necessity of considering the biological importance of the adverse effects observed in toxicity tests. By using hypothesis testing, aquatic toxicologists have been able to avoid this difficult, important question by presenting results in terms of a variable 'statistically significant difference'.

The (Sydney) Magazine // APRIL 2013
Saturday, 6 April, 2013 daisy dumasfashion, sydney, sydney morning herald, the sydney magazine Leave a comment
You beauty! My feature on the challenges, history and ultimately game-changing rise of multicultural models in Australia is out in the April issue of The (Sydney) Magazine. The brilliantly enigmatic Jessica Gomes, Samantha Harris and Shanina Shaik talk catwalks, stereotyping and bullying…
WHEN they were at school, Jessica Gomes and Shanina Shaik were bullied. They stood out – their hair was dark, their skin was olive and their cheekbones weren't like other girls'. "When I was younger, I wished I had blonde hair and blue eyes, just to fit in," remembers Gomes, her poise at odds with the memory of her school days. "It was emotional," adds Shaik, "to be growing up and trying to understand yourself and being picked on."
Formal millinery storms the US, Daily Mail NYC // 30 May 2011
Tuesday, 31 May, 2011 daisy dumasdaily mail, fashion, hats, millinery Leave a comment
My piece for Daily Mail NYC… (or read the piece with lots of pretty pictures at MailOnline)
The days of doffed caps and feather bonnets are long gone, but now a new breed of formal headwear is paving the way for a glamorously decorative barnet.
From the svelte form of a ribboned band or a more ebullient frothy plumage of colourful feathers, a fanciful dash of head bling is the ultimate cherry on top.
Blurring the boundaries of jewellery, hairdos and millinery, the playful eccentricity of statement millinery seems to have well and truly caught on in the U.S. too.
In the UK, hats and fascinators are most associated with the races – Ladies' Day at Ascot, for example – and weddings, where headwear is often an unwritten part of the dress code.
Who could forget Princess Beatrice's much-maligned 'pretzel' hat at the Royal Wedding, by top milliner Philip Treacy – or the criticism of British First Lady Samantha Cameron's decision to attend in a jewelled Erdem hairpiece rather than a traditional hat.
But head 'confectionery' – as New York radio show host Bill Cunningham put it – is adorning all the most fashionable tresses in a revival he says New York hasn't seen for 50 years.
Indeed, at this month's Met Ball, a tribute to late fashion designer Alexander McQueen, A-list heads were encrusted, bejewelled and feathered.
And to SamCam's credit, many a fashionista sported an upmarket hairclip.
Stella McCartney shone in a sophisticated waved headdress, Naomi Campbell wore a sparkling clip and Kate Hudson sported an Indian-inspired jewel on her crown.
Australian actress, Isabel Lucas, wore pearl and gold head jewellery by Lorraine Schwartz whilst a tiara-esque band sat atop the Black Eyed Peas' Fergie's mane.
Tennis player Serena Williams went for a Fifties-style white fascinator, while Yoko Ono wore a playful white veiled mini top hat by veteran milliner, Stephen Jones.
Laurie Kennard of Chicago-based milliners, Chapeau, told MailOnline: 'There is an increase in "taking a hat chance", you might say. Much younger women are attracted to hats… It's not just the influence of the Royal Wedding.'
Chapeau has seen an increase in sales of late, which Ms Kennard says is part of a bigger change in tastes.
'Perhaps after the supra-casualness that began in the late Sixties, women are craving elegance,' she continued. 'Or it could be that when you are in your twenties and your mother's era looks stodgy, your grandmother's era looks elegant.
'Today's young women would then be looking to the 1950s and early sixties for inspiration, definitely a time of more elegance.'
Of course headdresses are nothing new. The trend harks to the eccentricity of the heady (sorry) pre-WWII days of Paris-based designer Elsa Schiaparelli. Hailed as being ahead of their time, her hats included an upturned high-heeled shoe and many a feather-adorned turban.
Turbans had their heyday in the 1920s, resurfaced in the 70s and are once again back in vogue – Salma Hayek and Nicole Scherzinger have both managed to pull off the look to great effect.
But where once some get-ups were made to stay private, there are some adventurous public airings of previously stay-at-home looks.
Swimming caps – objects of dread from embarrassing school swimming lessons – are coming out of the closet once again, with new designs good enough to be seen in on the beach, particularly matched with on-trend retro swimwear.
And who would have thought the Queen would boldly step out in a (rather fancy) hairnet?
At last week's Chelsea Flower Show, Her Royal Highness sported a black hairnet adorned with small black bows. There's no question that we're all more used to something a little more regal – a crown, say – nestling amongst her grey curls, and the hairnet-with-a-twist was a rare moment of fashion daring.
One onlooker joked that she should 'sell the offending article on eBay and have the milliner sent to the Tower.'
The Tower is unlikely, given that the ensemble was apparently designed by the Queen's in-house fashion team at Buckingham Palace. The 'pragmatic choice' was in preparation for any unwelcome gusts of wind – perhaps a precautionary reaction to Michella Obama's flyaway hair which fell victim to Dublin's inclement windy weather on her recent state visit.
Whether it will catch on, a la the fashionable hairnets of the Forties, is anyone's guess – suffice to say, a sparkly hairclip or fanciful hat is a more on-trend option for now.
Marissa Vitano of Bloomingdales told MailOnline that 'hats are the must have accessories this season.'
We have no word, so far, on the sales of designer hairnets.

It's September. The end of another all-too-short bright and sweaty summer in London. The first fresh pinches of autumn are beginning to creep into the mornings.
A number 6 double-decker sweeps by and dissolves into Aldwych's curved, theatrical lanes. A camera flash pops and a tall, androgynous girl giggles.
The streets – these streets – are full. They've been filled, emptied, and filled again – over and over – for hundreds of years. The gum-trodden pavements have seen all there is to know in London – the shuffle of a trillion footsteps, the sounds of a billion stories and the lights of lives and lives played out in these worn, homely concourses…

Syndicated "Dateline" leads true crime charge
Interest in genre explodes as off-net debut puts up strong numbers
When the news was announced Dateline NBC reruns were being sold into broadcast syndication, the idea was…laughable. After all, since Cops broke the mold in 1992 and became the first reality show to be sold into off-network syndication, others came along and weren't exactly successful (Rescue 911, Top Cops, America's Most Wanted: Final Justice, Unsolved Mysteries, etc.)
Turns out syndicator NBCUniversal Domestic Television Distribution is getting the ultimate last laugh.
Dateline NBC – a show sold into syndication by NBCU this year after NATPE and at the last minute – is leading all new comers in the ratings race so far. Broadcasting & Cable did a piece on the show for its issue this week, and to yours truly's surprise, the show has inched ahead of several new first-run syndication strips this fall, including Page Six TV and Daily Mail TV.
According to the magazine, Dateline NBC – simply titled Dateline for syndication earned a 1.2 household Nielsen rating in its first week on the air (Sept. 25- 29) and its weekend run earned a 2.2 rating.
Moreover, Dateline increased the time period rating and share for its Wednesday night airings on programming service My Network TV over the since-pulled Marvel's Agents of SHIELD. Keep in mind times for My Network TV programming vary depending on what market you're in. In Chicago, Fox-owned CW affiliate WPWR airs MyNet shows weeknights from 9 to 11 p.m.
An added treat for Dateline fans locally is three straight hours of Dateline airs Wednesdays from 9 to 11 p.m., in addition to the 11 p.m. syndicated weeknight strip (WPWR does not air Dateline on weekends.) Fox airs Dateline on its secondary stations in top markets including WWOR in New York and KCOP in Los Angeles, both carry MyNet programming. Midwest clearances for the syndicated Dateline include WNDY/Indianapolis, WWHO/Columbus, Oh., WADL/Detroit, and KSMO/Kansas City. As Broadcasting & Cable points out, the deal for stations is a sweet one – nine minutes to sell local advertising as opposed to five minutes for NBCUniversal to sell nationally, per hour in a straight barter deal. In some markets, Dateline is double-run with two episodes per day.
Originally debuting on NBC in 1992, the content on Dateline for syndication and My Network TV deals with the "true-crime" genre – known as the original "reality TV". Here, you won't find trucks being rigged to explode or Chris Hansen luring unsuspecting sex fiends to suburban kitchens. Dateline – like many programs in the "true-crime" genre, deals with cold case murders, missing persons, and other subjects made popular by the syndicated Crimewatch Daily (now helmed by Dateline alum Hansen); cable's Investigation Discovery and HLN; and diginets Escape and The Justice Network, the latter recently launching in Chicago over WGBO-DT 66.4. Recently, NBC's Oxygen was rebranded as a destination for true crime stories – and launched its own branded version of Dateline.
Targeted versions of Dateline also air on Investigation Discovery, OWN, E!, TLC, and previously, the now-defunct Cloo. Customized versions of newsmagazines 48 Hours Mystery and 20/20 also air on OWN.
The genre is very popular with the female 25-54 demo – and the appetite for such fare continues to grow. These types of programs have found a reliable home on Friday and Saturdays with the aforementioned Dateline and 48 Hours Mystery. Fueling the rise in "true-crime" programming was the popularity of Netflix's Making a Murderer and Robert Durst's The Jinx, a critical and ratings hit for HBO in 2015 (and the top TV show of the year on this website.)
This is the first time NBC News – through its Peacock Productions production unit – has produced a show in syndication in more than two decades. The last time it did so was in 1990 with Memories…Then And Now, a nostalgia-based weekly half-hour co-hosted by WNBC anchor Chuck Scarborough, farmed out to the former LBS Communications to sell as the financial interest and syndication rules prohibited the Big 3 broadcast networks from the business at the time.
High-Crime Area
A sampling of listings from fare coming up this Friday, October 20 in the true-crime genre as listed by Titan TV:
Dateline (syndication): An exclusive interview with Johnny Hincapie, who was convicted and imprisoned for 25 years after his alleged involvement in the 1990 murder on a New York subway platform.

The Rotation Curve of the Milky Way
Additional reading from www.astronomynotes.com
Deriving the Galactic Mass from the Rotation Curve
Now that we have a concept of the size, stellar populations, and an overall understanding of the Milky Way as a galaxy, let us consider another property that we can determine for the Milky Way: its mass. In most instances, when we intend to calculate the mass of an astronomical object, we return to Newton's version of Kepler's third law:
P 2 = (4π 2 x a 3 ) / G( m 1 + m 2 )
The Sun is orbiting around the Galactic center, so in principle, if we can measure the Sun's distance from the Galactic Center and its orbital period, this means we can estimate the sum of the masses of the Sun and the Galaxy (at least the portion of the Galaxy that is interior to the Sun's orbit). Since we anticipate the Galaxy's mass to far exceed the Sun's mass, we can take the value that we calculate to be the Galaxy's mass. So, what is the answer? How massive is our galaxy?
The distance from the Sun to the Galactic Center can be measured using a few different techniques, but it is a difficult measurement to make. It is still the case that researchers disagree about the exact value, but it is approximately 8 kpc (that is, 8,000 parsecs). There is a related, but also difficult measurement to make, and that is the velocity of the Sun with respect to the Galactic Center. It is approximately 200 km/sec, which allows us to estimate the period of the Sun's orbit around the Galactic Center in the following way:
Assume the Sun is following a circular orbit with radius 8,000 parsecs.
Calculate the circumference of the Sun's orbit: c = 2πr = ( 2π )*( 8000 pc )*(3.1 x 10 13 km/pc) = 1.6 x 10 18 km .
Calculate the period of the orbit by taking the circumference and dividing by the velocity: P = 1.6 x 10 18 km / 200 km/sec = 8.0 x 10 15 sec ≈ 250 million years .
If you take the semi-major axis of the Sun's orbit to be 8 kiloparsecs and the orbital period to be 250 million years, you can determine that the Milky Way's mass interior to the Sun's orbit is approximately 1011 solar masses, or 100 billion times the mass of the Sun.
Now, let us compare and contrast motions in the Solar System of the planets and motions in the Galaxy of the stars. What we did above to calculate the period of the Sun's orbit was to use the equation:
orbital period (P) = orbit circumference (2πr) / orbital velocity (v)
We can rearrange this equation and calculate orbital velocity for any object given its period and semi-major axis. If we apply this to the planets in the Solar System, you find that as you get more distant from the Sun, the orbital velocity of the object is slower. Below is a two-dimensional plot that I created for the orbital velocities of the planets (and Pluto) as a function of their distance from the Sun. Each point is labeled with the first letter of the object's name (e.g., V = Venus). This type of plot (orbital velocity as a function of distance from the center) is referred to as a rotation curve.

The behavior of the planets in the Solar System as exhibited in this plot is often referred to as Keplerian Rotation. Clearly, the Milky Way Galaxy is more complicated than the Solar System. There are at least 100 billion objects, gas clouds, and dust, and there is not one single dominant mass in the center. However, astronomers expected that as you got more distant from the center of the Galaxy, the velocities of the stars should fall off in a manner similar to the Keplerian rotation exhibited by the planets in the Solar System. However, astronomers have observed that there is a significant difference between the predicted shape of the Milky Way's rotation curve and what is actually measured. See the image below.
Figure 8.17: Rotation curve of a typical spiral galaxy: predicted (A) and observed (B). The discrepancy between the curves is attributed to dark matter.
Credit: Wikipedia
The solid line labeled B is a schematic rotation curve similar to what is measured for the Milky Way. The dashed line labeled A is the predicted rotation curve displaying Keplerian rotation. What the rotation curve B tells us is that our model of the Milky Way so far is missing something. In order for objects far from the center of the Galaxy to be moving faster than predicted, there must be significant additional mass far from the Galactic Center exerting gravitational pulls on those stars. This means that the Milky Way must include a component that is very massive and much larger than the visible disk of the Galaxy. We do not see any component in visible light or any other part of the electromagnetic spectrum, so this massive halo must be dark. Today, we refer to this as the "dark matter halo" of the Galaxy, and we will discuss dark matter more in our lesson on cosmology.
Returning to the image of the Milky Way that we studied before, the wire frame halo is actually meant to represent the extent of the dark matter halo. In the image below, compare the scale of the disk to the scale of the dark matter halo.

``Very small but cumulated decreases in food intake may be sufficient to have significant effects, even erasing obesity over a period of years'' (Rozin et al., 2011). In two studies, one a lab study and the other a real-world study, we examine the effect of manipulating the position of different foods on a restaurant menu. Items placed at the beginning or the end of the list of their category options were up to twice as popular as when they were placed in the center of the list. Given this effect, placing healthier menu items at the top or bottom of item lists and less healthy ones in their center (e.g., sugared drinks vs. calorie-free drinks) should result in some increase in favor of healthier food choices.

Hundreds of thousands of grieving people descended on Chennai on Wednesday to bid a final farewell to DMK president and former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi who died on the previous evening at the age of 94.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi led the nation in paying tributes to the crusader for social justice, who was laid to rest with full state honours, next to the memorial of his mentor and DMK founder CN Annadurai, at Chennai's iconic Marina Beach.
Three people were killed in rush for a final glimpse of "Kalaignar", as the police used batons to control surging crowds. The five-time CM's burial also followed overnight court drama.
rrying the body wrapped in the tricolour, with his sister Kanimozhi and nephew Dayanidhi Maran, at Rajaji Hall. Karunanidhi's elder son Alagiri was not seen at the stately building. After thousands paid their respects to one of the dominant figures in the politics of southern India for half a century, his remains were taken out in a procession around 4 pm.
It took over two hours to reach Marina amid a sea of sloganeering cadres crying "Long Live Kalaignar". An outspoken atheist, Karunanidhi had been in hospital since July 26 for age-related ailments including urinary tract infections.
Karunanidhi's mortal remains were buried along with his trademark dark glasses, watch, gold ring, and yellow shawl with DMK's flag covering the sandalwood casket, after his family members including Stalin, Alagiri and Kanimozhi, paid their respects.
His casket said, "A person who continued to work without rest, now takes rest." Stalin and other family members and his close associates broke into tears. The slogans continued to rent the air until the casket was lowered into the grave.
All the dignitaries including Congress president Rahul Gandhi, Governor Banwarilal Purohit, Tamil Nadu CM Edappadi K Palaniswami paid their respects.

Grand View Private Trust Company and another (Respondents) v Wong and others (Appellant) No 2 (Bermuda)
Jurisdiction: Court of Appeal for Bermuda
Was the removal of all of the members of a family from a Bermudan trust as objects, whilst simultaneously adding a purpose trust as an object to the same trust by its trustee, beyond the scope of the trustee's powers, not an exercise of those powers for a proper purpose, or otherwise invalid?
The Global Resource Trust No 1 (the "GRT") is a Bermudan irrevocable discretionary trust with a trust period of 100 years created for the benefit of the children and remoter issue of YC Wang and YT Wang living on or born after 10 May 2001. The GRT was declared on 10 May 2001 and is estimated to hold assets of over US$500m as of 2019. The Wang Family Trust (the "WFT") is a Bermudan perpetual purpose trust for a mixture of noncharitable and charitable purposes and has no human objects. It was declared by the first respondent, Grand View Private Trust Company ("Grand View") on 10 May 2001 and was transferred assets worth around US$567m at the time of its creation. Winston Wong, Riley Wong, Jennifer Wang and Tony Wang were all objects of the GRT at the time of its creation and contend on this appeal that they still are.
In May 2005, the directors of the GRT trustee determined that the GRT trustee would (i) transfer the assets of the GRT to Grand View (of which they were also directors) as trustee for the WFT, (ii) add Grand View as an object of the GRT, and (iii) exclude all of the existing objects of the GRT (including the appellants). The directors of the GRT trustee took steps to execute those decisions in September 2005. The GRT Trustee was placed into voluntary liquidation on 29 November 2006 and dissolved on 30 January 2007. The appellants challenge the validity of the changes to the GRT's objects and the transfer of its assets to Grand View as trustee for the WFT. The appellants succeeded before the Bermuda Supreme Court but that decision was overturned by the Bermuda Court of Appeal. They appealed to the JCPC.

10 March 2022 Morning session


One of the most striking presentations of the day, and not only by the strong personality of the speaker, who took the stage at the Gamelab Mobile to present his candidacy for the "Presidency of the Virtual Reality". It even has its own electoral web: www.voteneverdie.com . Jacobs promises 1,000 million jobs "in the Virtual Reality", citing its own success as an example of the possibilities offered by the economy of the MMO. In 2010 he shot to fame after selling for $ 635,000 an asteroid in the game Entropia Universe .
Jon "Neverdie" Jacobs told us about how speculate MMO games with objects and even skills to profit in real money.
Jacobs not intended to peguemos the same virtual pitch, but to pay attention to the real economy that lurks within internal trade in the MMO. He showed figures how it has changed the price of oil and gold within Entropia Universe, between 2012 and 2016. Jacobs words, it is "investing in virtual goods for the long term benefits in real money." pure and simple speculation with a mouse.
Jon Jacobs, better known by the name of NeverDie wants to be the first president of Virtual Reality. The bet Gold program is the conviction that can create billions of new jobs if he became president-elect of the Virtual Reality, jobs better, for example, the situation of some poor regions like Africa .
It may seem a joke, but talk of a person unknown to the public is the Guinness Book of Records for being the first billionaire to accumulate his fortune playing games. In 2002 NeverDie (the name under which Jacobs was known) was born in Entropia Universe, an online role-playing game similar to Second Life.
Over time, suddenly Jacobs realize why your avatar was a millionaire and decided to sell part of its property for 635 000 dollars ¹. To understand this, it should be noted that Entropia Universe economy works through a simulated exchange their currencies for real money and at the same time, items such as raw materials are fairly traded.
Jacobs was the owner of an asteroid digital, turned into night, much visited by users. He decided to buy it mortgaging his house and, after observing annual benefits of € 200,000, sold. From here, his studio was born, staged a docudrama and the media as TIME or Fobres interviewed.
NeverDie is convinced that its history can be played around the world. Just a figure representative of the whole community of gamers; President of Virtual Reality. According to Jacobs, most games work with monetary values virtual priced real and just normal circuits sale regulate them. Thereafter, anyone can make money playing at home and in the long run, you can create a billion jobs.
Sean Lee, chief strategy officer at Wargaming; Jon Neverdie Jacobs; and Ivan Fernandez, Founder, Gamelab Mobile, join Mark Smith in the studio.
Vote NEVERDIE President of Virtual Reality – Talenthouse.com from Jon NEVERDIE Jacobs on Vimeo.
Becoming a virtual real estate mogul or a "cyber celebrity" isn't an occupation that many people dream of but for British native Jon "NEVERDIE" Jacobs, it has become a reality. Jacobs created an avatar character named "NEVERDIE" that has become one of the most notable, if not the most notable name in the virtual world of the "Entropia Universe." In 2008, Jacobs entered the Guinness Book of World Records for owning the most valuable virtual item, and later went on to sell the virtual asteroid space resort for over half a million dollars, yes, that was in real U.S. currency. Jacobs also founded NEVERDIE Studios and got to work with Michael Jackson and the people from the film King Kong to create other virtual worlds for people to enjoy. As if his past achievements weren't enough, Jacobs is now in the running to become the very first president of the virtual world. We asked the virtual entrepreneur about his presidential campaign, NEVERDIE Studios and Virtual Reality.
In order to find the visuals to capture the spirit of the Vote NEVERDIE President of Virtual Reality campaign I turned to Talenthouse.com who nurture a global community of artists by partnering with major brands, labels and artists to do creative invites based on new product, movie or record releases. This was the most immediate way to tap into a vibrant creative community and get a fresh vision on the campaign.
The response from the Community was extremely exciting with over 300 Submissions from around the world.. The selection process as a result was really challenging.
The Selected Artists were Denis Hauptman and Pat Abellon who both captured in completely different fashions the essence of the campaign with multiple submissions that amount to a series.
In addition to the two selected artists, there were 5 other finalists and the Popular Choice!
Además el evento orientado a startups, 4YFN, ha crecido también, reuniendo a 12.500 asistentes y alcanzando las 5.200 reuniones entre emprendedores e inversores.
Mobile World Congress will also serve as the debut of "I AM MY AVATAR," NEVERDIE's first campaign video. Dedicated to longtime friend 'Motorhead' frontman Lemmy Kilmister and released just days after the music legend's highly-touted Grammy© Awards tribute, the rock-and-roll, message-filled music video features Paul Inder Kilmister, son of the famed rocker, who is a NEVERDIE supporter.
Jon NEVERDIE Jacobs' President of Virtual Reality campaign platform was born by the need to maximize the rapidly changing behavior of consumers as they evolve from passive consumers of entertainment and media into a much more active role — creating, curating and interacting with content. Everything ranging from television, music, politics to sports all blur boundaries between physical and digital (virtual) experiences, NEVERDIE's experience in the virtual world will enable him and a cabinet of advisers to help millions maximize the potential of this transition.
Jon was born in England in 1966. As an actor, musician and filmmaker he has made two albums and over 30 indie movies including The Girl with The Hungry Eyes, Hey DJ the Movie and Lucinda's Spell. In 2002 inside Entropia Universe he created the iconic Avatar known as NEVERDIE, who has become a World Famous Virtual Reality celebrity and globally recognized as a pioneer of pop culture in Virtual Worlds. In 2008 Jon's Club NEVERDIE entered the Guinness Book of World Records as the Most Valuable Virtual asset. Jon founded NEVERDIE Studios in 2008 and specializes in producing Iconic Virtual Reality entertainment; including Pop and Rock Icon destinations for Michael Jackson and Lemmy Kilmister from Motörhead and Hollywood Movie inspired experiences that include KING KONG, ZOMBIE KONG and The THING in partnership with NBC Universal, Licensing and Partnerships. NEVERDIE Studios developed and operates and the ROCKtropia Virtual World and POPtropia, a Pop Culture Virtual Reality Hub. In 2015 Jon launched his campaign to become the First President of Virtual Reality so he can champion a future to create a Billion Jobs in Virtual Reality.

I completed my BA and MPhil in Archaeology at the University of Porto, Portugal, specializing in contextual archaeology and weaving in the III Millennium B.C. in Northern Portugal. I then broadened my scope of expertise and pursued a second MPhil in World Heritage Studies (Cottbus, Germany): my focus was on community involvement in the nomination of archaeological sites as World Heritage. Afterwards, I worked as an archaeologist and heritage expert in my hometown Macau (SAR of China). For my MPhil in Archaeological Heritage and Museums, at the University of Cambridge, I explored the distinction between movable and immovable heritage. Currently, I am a first-year PhD student and my topic addresses cultural heritage and the context of diaspora communities.
I am interested in understanding heritage processes and conceptions within contexts of human mobility or post-mobility; and to explore heritage through, but also beyond, nation-state perceptions and the 'postcolonial' lens. I also study the various ways diaspora and migrant communities, particularly ethnic minorities, express themselves through cultural institutions, museums and objects.
In parallel, I would like to further analyse the creation, nomination and management of World Heritage, as well as its implications.
I have a passion for any research that relates to the archaeology, history and heritage of Macau and the Macanese communities.
Finally, within archaeology, I research traditional weaving practices and other related yarn-working activities.

Pittsburgh Shows True Grit As Iconic Judaica Store Toughs It Out After Tragedy
Ari FeldmanNovember 2, 2018Image by Ari Feldman

PITTSBURGH — Signs of life began to appear on the fifth day of mourning in Pittsburgh, even amid the onslaught of funerals, shiva calls and community gatherings. Parent-teacher conferences were held at the Yeshiva Schools of Pittsburgh girls' building. The Community Day School celebrated a bar mitzvah at its morning prayers.
And Pinsker's Judaica Center changed ownership for the first time in 35 years.
The Judaica shop and restaurant, a Squirrel Hill institution, is now in a period of renewal even as the community that loves it is mourning the worst attack on American Jews in decades. The shop's long-time owner, Shlomo Perelman, has tried to take the challenges of the week in stride. Despite his anger and sadness, and the stress of feeding hundreds of people, he says he has been able to find a measure of meaning in his last, tragic week as the face of Pinsker's.
"It's very gratifying to be able to provide this kind of presence for the community," Perelman, 68, said. "Especially one last time."
Pinsker's was opened in 1953, and has outlasted every other Judaica store in the city. It's one of the last few Jewish stores in the neighborhood, located between the Murray Avenue Kosher grocery store and Milky Way, a kosher pizza shop.
The space is split in half: part wine and Judaica shop, part cafe. At Thursday lunch, the dining room was filled with locals and visiting mourners from across the country ordering from a classic kosher bistro menu of burgers, sushi and Israeli dishes.
Next door, the shop looked like there had been a small run on its inventory. Yarmulkes have been flying out the door. The wine stocks have been thinning. In the shelves under the checkout counter, someone placed a box of yartzeit (memorial) candles next to the Hanukkah candles, for expediency.
Perelman's exit has also created its own measure of chaos. Boxes of his book collection — coffee table books, out-of-print books, old National Geographic magazines — crowded the entrance, waiting to be transferred to his home a few blocks away. Papers relating to the contract of the sale lay on the table in the back.
The shop is getting new ownership in perhaps its most hectic week ever. Perelman had planned an orderly transfer of power from him to the buyer, Daniel Cohen, 52, a local real estate agent who has helped out at Pinsker's sporadically over the years.
The two set the final terms last Friday, and had planned to have an all-staff meeting Sunday morning to go over Cohen's vision for Pinsker's going forward. But when the Sabbath ended Saturday night, Perelman called Cohen to say the meeting was off: They would have to do the transition while responding to Jewish Pittsburgh's unfolding catastrophe.
They've fielded delivery requests and guests from across the country and world. Former Pittsburgh residents who have come to show support and mourn with their former community have stopped at the cafe for a meal before catching a flight home. Visiting members of the Israeli emergency response organization Hatzalah dined at the cafe, as did members of the Anti-Defamation League, Perelman said. He and Cohen managed to ink the last few signatures on their deal just as the lunch rush was ending Thursday.

Perelman has been a committed Judaica salesman since he bought Pinsker's in 1983. He had the forethought to purchase — in 1994 — the domain names judaica.com and judaism.com. (He already owned 1-800-JUDAISM.)
He was born in Pittsburgh, and except for when he went away to school, he's spent his life in the city. The black Pirates baseball cap on his head looks permanently affixed — though he's evasive about what the logo "P" stands for.
"Could be Pinsker's, could be Pirates, could be parnassah [livelihood]," he said. "Sometimes it stands for 'patience.' This week it stands for 'pissed off.'"
The week has taken a toll on him, but he hides the visceral feelings behind a gray beard and deadpan delivery. His grief is matter-of-fact.
"Loss of innocence is the most prevailing emotion," he said.
Cohen, who officially became the proprietor of Pinsker's at 12 a.m. Thursday morning, has been a bit more frantic: He has the air of a parent of a newborn. He spoke to the Forward in between reminding staff about the day's special (beef short rib), pushing out food for shiva calls (salmon platters), and taking catering orders over the phone.
One person called asking about knishes.
"We don't have knishes, but we have sushi," Cohen said helpfully. "It's good sushi."
After some more questions, the person ended the call. "Call us for a happy occasion," Cohen said as he hung up.
He acknowledged that the week was leaving him frazzled.
"I was thrown into this a little quickly," he said.
When the chaos dies down, Cohen, Pinsker's fourth owner, has an idea of how he wants it to look going forward. He plans to expand the wine selection and reinvigorate the Judaica collection — something he says fell by the wayside as Perelman focused his energies on the restaurant.
On Thursday afternoon, a customer walked in and asked to see jewelry. Cohen apologetically told her there was none.
"You used to have such beautiful jewelry," the woman said.
"It's coming back," Cohen said. "Come back in a month, two months, and we'll have beautiful jewelry."
He says he decided to buy the store partly because he wanted to get back into the restaurant business and partly to help Perelman keep the store alive. He feels that, though the internet has eroded brick-and-mortar Judaica sales across the country, the community needs a place like Pinsker's.
"I don't know that it'll ever go back to what it was in its heyday, but we can bring back the feeling that people have somewhere to go [to buy Judaica] where they know a friendly face," he said.

With retirement on his mind, Perelman says he and his wife plan to travel more, especially to visit their five children, who live in Silver Springs, Maryland; the New York City area and Israel. Still, he says, he's sad to go.
"It's time," he said. "Time to pass it on to somebody else."
Does he think Cohen is up to the task? "Absolutely."
When asked by the Forward if he would pose for a picture, Perelman politely but firmly declined, citing the Jewish custom of not looking at your reflection while sitting shiva.
"This week, we cover our mirrors," he said.

Comprehensive Compliance with HIPAA Part 164
Although HIPAA has been in effect for over two decades, compliance with the law is still not a straightforward task. Many still lack the appropriate measures applicable to their organisation or are unsure of how to comply with all of the HIPAA Rules set out in Part 164. Alyne's technology can facilitate this process, and offers a comprehensive mapping of Part 164 of the HIPAA regulation, covering the provisions of the HIPAA Data Privacy, Security Controls and Breach Notification Rules.
HIPAAComplianceHealthcareRegulationdata privacydata protectionInformation Security
Although the Health Insurance and AccountabiIity Management Act (HIPAA) was first enacted into law in 1996, compliance still remains an often challenging task, leaving many Covered Entities and business associates lacking the appropriate measures and still unsure of how to comply with all HIPAA Rules set out in Part 164. The law was designed to provide consumers with greater access to healthcare insurance, reduce fraud, protect the privacy and security of healthcare information and promote efficiency and standardisation within the sector. The HIPAA regulations apply to any Covered Entities which handles health or healthcare-related data, including financial clearinghouses, and any provider that uses or transmits Personal Health Information (PHI).
According to a report by Research and Markets, the global mobile health app market is expected to hit US$134.7 Billion by 2027. In fact, two-thirds of the world's largest hospitals offer mobile apps to their patients. With the rise of telehealth, the need for data security in the healthcare space has increased the use and sharing of patients' Electronics Health Record (EHR).
The proliferation of digital technologies has changed the way that many healthcare providers operate. As efficiency and connectivity increased, so did the storage and transmission of key pieces of confidential health information, mandating an even greater need for the security and privacy of patients' information. HIPAA regulates the security, privacy and protection of Personal Health Information (PHI) held by the covered entities and third parties, and provides individuals with rights to understand and control how their health information is used or disclosed.
Alyne's Comprehensive Coverage of HIPAA Part 164
When working to achieve compliance with HIPAA, companies often focus exclusively on § 164 Subpart C (Security Standards). Technically, to ensure full compliance with HIPAA, Covered Entities will need to also apply the rules set out in § 164 Subpart D (Breach Notification) and § 164 Subpart E (Privacy Aspects).
Alyne's coverage of HIPAA primarily focuses on Part 164 of the regulation, which covers the HIPAA Security and Privacy rules. The HIPAA Privacy Rule (Subpart E) focusses on allowed and prohibited uses and disclosures of Personal Health Information (PHI) and Personally Identifiable Information (PII) along with data subject rights. Additionally, the Security Rule (Subpart C) is the security standard for the protection of PHI, defining both technical and non-technical requirements for safeguarding health information.
HIPAA Privacy Rules
The HIPAA Privacy Rule (Part 164 Subpart E) focusses on the many uses and disclosures of Personal Health Information (PHI) and Personally Identifiable Information (PII) with data subject rights. This includes medical records and other personal health information, and it applies to health plans, healthcare clearinghouses, and healthcare providers that conduct certain healthcare transactions electronically.
HIPAA Security Rules
The HIPAA Security Rule (Part 164 Subpart C) is the security standard for the protection of electronic PHI (e-PHI). This set of rules ensures that there are both technical and non-technical safeguards (which include administrative and physical) to ensure that ePHI is transmitted and handled in a secured and responsible manner.
HIPAA Breach Notification Rule
The HIPAA Breach Notification Rule (Part 164 Subpart D) requires Covered Entities and their Business Associates to notify affected individuals and the media of a breach of unsecured PHI. Depending on its severity, if the data breach affects 500 and more individuals, the Secretary of Health and Human Services has to be informed no later than 60 days following the breach.
Technology can be a great facilitator to help simplify requirements, provide greater risk transparency, educate and train employees, and even act as a centralised source of data, alleviating pressure from the audit process.

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — After a horse named Scuppy bit a boy in the face, a Connecticut court came to a conclusion that threw animal lovers: Horses are a naturally vicious species.
Horse owners and farmers are mobilizing as the state Supreme Court hears an appeal in the case Tuesday. Such a classification — the nation's first, if it stands — would make owning horses uninsurable and jeopardize the state's sizable horse industry, farmers and horse owners say.
"You could not pair children and horses, the core equestrian business nationwide that it's all about," said Doug Dubitsky, a lawyer who represents farmers and horse businesses.
When the boy tried to pet the horse at Glendale Farms in Milford in 2006, according to court papers, the animal stuck his neck out from behind a fence and bit the child on his right cheek, "removing a large chunk of it."
In February 2012, the mid-level Appellate Court overturned a lower court ruling and said that testimony by Timothy Astriab, whose family owns the farm, demonstrated that Scuppy belongs to "a species naturally inclined to do mischief or be vicious."
Although he had no knowledge of Scuppy biting anyone before, Astriab testified that Scuppy was no different than other horses that would bite if a finger was put in front of him. "Significantly, Astriab acknowledged his concern that if someone made contact with Scuppy, whether to pet or feed him, they could get bit," the justices said.
The injury suffered by the boy was foreseeable and the owners of the farm had a duty to use reasonable care to restrain the animal to prevent injury, the Appellate Court ruled.
Astriab did not return a call on Monday seeking comment.
If allowed to stand, Connecticut would be the first state to consider horses as inherently dangerous, said Dubitsky.
Horse farmers and equine enthusiasts, who cite 2005 statistics saying that the horse industry contributes about $221 million a year to the state's economy in boarding, training, lessons and breeding businesses, are asking the state Supreme Court to overturn the Appellate Court's decision. The Connecticut Farm Bureau and Connecticut Horse Council filed a friend of the court brief saying that under common law viciousness generally is judged individually according to age, breed and gender, not as an entire species.
Fred Mastele, acting president of the state's horse council, said it is encouraging horse owners to attend the hearing Tuesday and support the Astriab family.
"In our opinion, horses are not vicious animals," he said. "They are certainly not attack animals."
Astriab had won at a lower court in 2010, when a New Haven judge sided with the horse's owner and ruled that the child's father, Anthony Vendrella Sr., failed to prove the owner knew of previous incidents of aggression by Scuppy.
The Superior Court judge said Astriab testified that neither he nor anyone else had ever seen Scuppy bite a person before and that in 28 years, none of the horses at the farm bit or injured anyone.
"Cats have a tendency to scratch and horses have a tendency to bite, but the plaintiffs have failed to show, as they must, that the defendants were on notice that Scuppy specifically, and not horses generally, had a tendency to bite people or other horses," Judge Robin Wilson ruled.
