• View topic - Winning on the road?
First time posting here. First time playing a Draft Day Sports game of any type. I think overall I'm glad I purchased this, but some things are really frustrating.
For one, why is there such a drastic difference between home games and road difficulty? If I said I have 1 win on the road and 67 losses, I don't think I'd be exaggerating, lol.
Re: Winning on the road?
Welcome to DDSCB and to the forums...hope you keep posting here.
Re 2nd half anomalies: I've played the game in all of its versions (many years) and haven't noticed that games typically become blowouts in the 2nd half. In fact, generally I've found if there is a big difference at the break, that it's more likely than not that the score tightens somewhat in the 2nd half. But yeah, sometimes a team breaks things open in the 2nd half. Again though, that happens in real life also. Not sure what your team is, but if you have a really strong team, then I'd assume that blowouts are more likely...but I'd expect that the big pull-away could happen just as often in the first half as the second.
But like I said, enjoying the game overall.

Defending F1 champion Nico Rosberg of Team Mercedes will return hungry for another title. However the field in 2017 will be competitive, with three-time champion Lewis Hamilton — Rosberg's Mercedes teammate — back in the fold.
Let us help you in your Formula One wagering journey. Below you will find a downloadable schedule, which offers bettors race-by-race information that will enhance your chances of cashing in on your wagers.
Access the schedule whether you're at home on your personal computer, at the office (shhh we won't tell) or even on the road from your smartphone device.
Use the Australian Grand Prix as a feeling-out process for which driver you want to put your money on throughout the season. For instance, Rosberg won the 2016 race in Australia, and while that shouldn't be a clear-cut indication as to which driver will be the overall champion, it's a helpful guide to give bettors an idea of who will eventually come out on top in the end.
Drivers will have a couple weeks to regroup before taking part in the second race of the season — the Chinese Grand Prix on April 9. The race features 56 laps over a 5.45-kilometre at the Shanghai International Circuit, a modern-designed track that presents major challenges even for the best drivers.
There are only two races in the month of May, making both the Spanish Grand Prix (May 14) and Monaco Grand Prix (May 28) crucial dates to circle on your calendar.
June kicks off with the always-popular Canadian Grand Prix, which is held at the historic Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve in Montreal. This year's Canadian Grand Prix is scheduled for June 11. The challenging Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve may look easier to handle than other Formula One tracks, however there are sharp corners over the 4.61-kilometre course that fool even the top drivers.
The Italian Grand Prix is a popular race that bettors should also focus their attention to on Sept. 3. With three quarters of the season completed, bettors will have a clearer picture of how the standings may unfold by the time the Italian Grand Prix rolls around.
The Formula One season comes to a close on Nov 26 for the popular Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. By then, the champion will be crown and hopefully, many bettors will be cashing in on their winning tickets as well.
With Rosberg announcing his retirement after reaching the "pinnacle" of his career, that leaves the door wide open for Hamilton to challenge for a fourth F1 crown. Bovada oddsmakers have the British driver as the -110 favorite to win it all. It won't be an easy task, however.
Sebastien Vettel has been in that position before. In fact, the German racing star has won four Formula One championships and will be looking for a fifth in 2017. Vettel is a +400 favorite to take the title once again.
While Hamilton will be the man to beat in 2017, bettors should strongly consider taking Vettel throughout the F1 season.

Friday the 13th: Why There Are 3 'Unlucky' Days This Year
By Elizabeth Peterson
(Image credit: Anneka / Shutterstock.com)
It's a bad day to be a triskaidekaphobic, or a person who fears the number 13. And today is a particularly unlucky one for superstitious folk because it's not just Friday the 13th, it's the third Friday the 13th of 2015.
Today's inauspicious (or perhaps completely insignificant) date comes on the heels of a Friday the 13th in both February and March of this year. And that's not all. Today is the third and last Friday the 13th of the year, but it's also the final Friday the 13th in a series of seven years, in which three of those years had three Friday the 13ths.
If you need proof of all these unlucky Fridays, just pull up your calendar. In 2009, there were three Friday the 13th dates. The same was true in 2012 and 2015. So what's with all the fearful Fridays of late? Is it really an unlucky streak, or is there a more rational explanation for this phenomenon? [Find out more about the science behind Friday the 13th]
"This might be disappointing, but the reason is ... that's just the way our calendar works. It all has to do with date patterns in the calendar," Tom Fernsler, an associate policy scientist at the University of Delaware, told Live Science. Fernsler, also known as "Dr. 13," has studied the number 13 for decades.
Get your calendar back up and pull up January 2015. Note that this year, Jan. 1 fell on a Thursday. If you scroll through the months, you'll see that no other month started on a Thursday this year, except for October. January and October have the same date patterns. The same is also true for other pairs of months, and some months have their own unique date patterns that aren't replicated during any other month of the year.
"When a Friday the 13th falls in May (like it will in 2016), June or August, that's the only one you get that year, because no other month of the year has the same date pattern as May, June or August," said Fernsler, who noted that there is always at least one Friday the 13th every year.
On years with two Friday the 13ths, that date falls in a month that has the same date pattern as another month. For example, if there's a Friday the 13th in January, there will be another Friday the 13th in October. The same is true of April and July, as well as September and December.
"The fun comes when you have three Friday the 13ths in one year, like 2015. In most cases when this happens, you have February with a Friday the 13th. February and March have the same date pattern in non-leap years, and March and November always have the same date pattern. So there [are] your three for the year," Fernsler said.
The recent abundance of Friday the 13th dates stems from the fact that, in 2012, Friday the 13th fell on Jan. 13. And 2012 was also a leap year, so the extra day added to the calendar gave April a Friday the 13th, as well. Since April and July have the same date pattern, July also had a Friday the 13th. A similar pattern also occurred in the 1980s.
"Prior to 2009, we saw three Friday the 13ths in three different years in a sequence of seven years during 1981, 1984 and 1987. We'll see the same thing in 2037, 2040 and 2043. In 1984, and again in 2040, January had (and will have) a Friday the 13th in a leap year, which will force April and July to have one, as well," Fernsler said.
But from now until 2040, Friday the 13th will occur three times in one year only once every 11 years. So enjoy this inauspicious Friday, because you won't see another one like it until 2026.

Rokko Housing I, II, and III
1981-1983, 1989-1993, 1997-1998
Kobe, Japan
Tadao Ando +
While remaining within the tradition of modern composition, the emphasis of self-taught Japanese architect Tadao Ando on the natural and geographical context, and the weight of its historical and cultural heritage, are the stilts on which they based their entire work. The harmony between nature and architecture is a current of traditional Japanese culture. This is how nature is one of the main concerns of Ando, who is always trying to integrate with the interior of their buildings, through courtyards and gardens that include light, ventilation and rain. These works in particular, this issue has particular relevance.
The first set was born Rokko Housing sleep Ando, making this step building along the slope of the mountain, where every house had contact with nature, differentiating between a skyscraper or any other building in height.
Built the first and second set, the architect began with the third project without any client. After an earthquake, all factories in the area collapsed and were just standing homes. It was there that captured the third set.
The sets of houses I, II and III are located in neighboring plots to each other, on Mount Rokko, on the slopes of the city of Kobe. The houses are built on the hill, following the slope.
The first set is at the foot of the mountain, built on a hillside facing South where you can enjoy a great panoramic view of the port of Kobe and Osaka Bay.
Rokko II complex is located on a site above and to the left of the first set, being four times higher.
For the third is three times larger than the second. Rokko III is built over the previous two.
Rokko housing I and II were proposed with a slope of 60 degrees south and located at the edge of the Rokko mountains in Kobe. The project idea was not only overcome the constraints of the site, but the benefits of this deployment and its unique views. In the case of Rokko III, the configuration has not stepped up in a flat area.
These joint ownership of the land is a key factor. The design allows phased provide each household with a particular sector of a time getting to the harmony between the building and its surroundings. Here, all units have their area of green land and no matter what level they are commingled with nature, creating a new type of housing that arouse feelings of ownership among its residents.
The houses were built with strong relationships between public and private spaces, through the concept of public traffic and terraces, where the residents. In turn, each household seeks to reaffirm its own individuality, different spaces, terraces, views, and relationships between them. Through aterrazado, Ando achieves a grand opening in each home without sacrificing your privacy.
With the intention of creating and strengthening the relationship between nature, public and private spaces, using a network system to control the overall structure. It is a rigid framework in which all the houses, terraces and large spaces are included.
In Rokko III introduces another element: prefabrication, not as a means of reducing costs but in relation to social thought.
I Rokko is based on a grid of twenty modules in plant and increase of 5.80 x 4.80 meters from the sites that are organized.
In the promotion slope intentionally created a series of holes to unify the complex, while acting as a square. Areas to serve the ends of the building as areas of ventilation and insulation.
Twenty modules are grouped in front of the slope are all different types and sizes. They all have a terrace with different views.
In all three sets, life is covered through the manipulation of units and combinations of interventions in outdoor spaces. In every housing spaces are proposed different rooms near the sky, green slope facing rooms and receive the light of the courtyard, all with exceptional views.
There are also communal areas where the inhabitants are related to the complex, including terraces and circulations.
The framework mentioned above, each set includes the time it contains the exterior spaces.
Rokko II is structured around a central staircase and contains 50 homes designed on a uniform grid of 5.20 meters behind. Is slightly turned to his neighbor, as a whole.
The second set of spaces are wider and more luxurious than in the first case. This set has an indoor pool.
Rokko III is L-shaped built on three levels. It has 174 apartments, with garden terrace on the roof of each home. In this case, the design has not staged the previous sets.
Once again, Ando used concrete in his book, whose color is not acting against the area, but intensifies its depth. Geometric shapes which, intentionally artificial marked by contrast, its natural environment. This is evident in the concrete that holds all the spaces.


Résumé: With Georgiou at the helm of the plan to end the Klingon war once and for all, the U.S.S. Discovery crew struggles to fathom and tolerate her hostile tactics. Memories of past hardships are rekindled within Burnham.


i've a question about a single model instance. I would like to have a single instance (singleton) of a model and communicate this model directly without a store to a remote resource.
1. You should include singleton: true config to your class definition.
2. To access this singleton, just use App.model.Cart.
as you said, one can access the object by doing this: App.model.Cart, but how can this model load itself up from the given proxy url, so that when i access the Model, the correct values are in place?
ok, that was what i tried, although i didn't succeed. in my case i don't have an id to be given as an argument, because there is just "one" cart (that's why the url is /cart.json). The singleton stuff also doesn't seem to work with associations.
But my main point is: this doesn't seem to be the "right" way... i thought this use case with a single object instance is pretty common, isn't it? so how do you handle that kind of situations? the other possibility that seems obvious is do create a store and put that object as the only one in it?
No. I don't use this kind of singleton model in my application. Instead, I define models, stores and create instances each time I need them.


Leave tree stumps rather than removing them to use as sturdy stands for birdhouses in your garden! Put a trellis in between them to train a vine up and create a lovely garden focal point.
If you take the outer bark off they will last for a long time. This is what the forest service does when using logs for benches and seats. It helps to keep bugs off the log because they don't have all those little hiding spots.

Durham Valley Scenic Byway
DesignationState Byway (1991)
LocationNY
Dedicated Byway Visitor Information
New York Department of Transportation
New York Department of Economic Development
The Durham Valley Scenic Byway consists of twenty-one miles of New York State designated Scenic Byways located in the Town of Durham, Greene County that were originally designated as Scenic Roads "of extraordinary scenic quality" by NYS Department of Environmental Conservation in 1991. The Byway corridor slopes from the northernmost escarpment of the Catskill Mountains to a plain that gently rolls north to Albany and east to the Hudson River Valley. The byway includes a famed 'Five State View' that extends over the Hudson River Valley to the Berkshires, Vermont, Connecticut, and New Hampshire and north to the Adirondacks. Unlike many other state designated scenic and historic byways that consist primarily of one long linear corridor, the Durham Valley Scenic Byway is a network of mostly contiguous historic corridors that traverses the Durham Valley. All the scenic roads contribute a distinct individual character, making the network of scenic roads an authentic and high quality experience that expresses the intrinsic values of the Durham Valley. The intrinsic values include broad scenic views across the Durham Valley, cultural resources including historic houses, farms, stone bridges and walls, and natural resources such as the backdrop of the Catskill Mountains and Durham Valley's streams.

Most people sign up for Amazon Prime to take advantage of its unlimited free two-day shipping benefit. But there are other great benefits to the service too, including access to a growing library of award-winning streaming video content. And according to a new study from the Consumer Intelligence Research Partners (CIRP), it seems that Prime subscribers have really taken notice.
In the fourth quarter of 2014, Amazon Prime members watched videos on Amazon an average of 13.4 times per month. For comparison, Netflix subscribers only watch video an average of 12.7 times per month.
The research shows that it's not just free content that Amazon Prime subscribers are enjoying. "Amazon Prime customers also buy or rent additional video using Amazon Instant Video, say when a video is not available on the Prime streaming service," explains CIRP co-founder Mike Levin. "We combine the Amazon Prime streaming and Amazon Instant Video use to conclude that Amazon Prime members use video from Amazon about as often as Netflix subscribers use video from their service." Prime subscribers buy or rent videos through Amazon 4.5 times per month, on average.
When it comes to the most fanatic of online-video watchers, however, Netflix remains their top choice. Approximately 45% of Netflix subscribers report watching video "more than 5 times a week," as compared to approximately 30% of Amazon Prime subscribers. Eighty-six percent of Netflix members use the service more than once a week, as compared to 56% of Amazon Prime members.
Amazon Prime subscribers have access to on-demand video and music streams, two-day shipping, free e-book rentals, unlimited cloud photo storage and early access to limited-time only deals. A yearly subscription to Amazon Prime costs $99. Netflix subscriptions are available for $8.99 per month, though you'll need to upgrade to a $11.99 per month family plan to enjoy video in 4K quality.

The Dig Interview: Jesse Miller From Lotus
Written by ROB DUGUAY Posted January 25, 2023 Filed Under: Interviews, MUSIC
"The idea was just more of leaning into these modular synth ideas and these sort of minimalist inspired dance tracks."
Back in the late '90s, Philly's Lotus set themselves apart by combining electronica with jam music during a time when no one else was doing so. Their influence is still being felt with a lot of bands on the festival circuit incorporating electronic elements into their sound.
These days, the quintet of Tim Palmieri on guitar, Mike Greenfield on drums, Chuck Morris on percussion, Jesse Miller on bass, sampler, and modular synths, and his brother Luke on guitar and keyboards are at their most prolific with numerous studio albums and a ton of live albums in their discography.
Folks will be able to see their wide array of tunes performed live in person when Lotus takes the stage at the Paradise Rock Club on Jan. 26. Miller and I spoke ahead of the show about the band releasing two albums last year, performing in a cave in Tennessee, uploading a ton of live performances online, and plans for the coming months.
In 2022, Lotus released two albums, Live Underground a little over a year ago and Bloom & Recede the following August. Live Underground was recorded at the Caverns in Pelham, Tennessee a couple years before its release so what was the experience like performing in such a unique venue that's literally underground?
It's a super unique place. The sound is a little weird, but luckily with their recording we were kind of able to take care of that since it's a lot of direct and close miked instruments. It's pretty wild to see a show in a cave and also in Tennessee. I think when we played there it was 95 degrees in July outside but when you go into the cave it gets in the low sixties no matter what time of year it is. It's wild to experience that temperature change while walking into it.
It must have made the show a lot better with playing in a cool atmosphere rather than having it be sweltering.
Yeah, definitely.
Pertaining to live albums, Lotus has a bunch of them on their Bandcamp page with the most recent one from back-to-back performances at the Boulder Theater in Boulder, Colorado to close out last year. How do you guys go about choosing which performances you want to post online? Do you record every set you perform or do you pick and choose which ones you want to record in advance?
We record everything, we do full multitrack recordings at every show, and all of our shows are released on nugz.net. When there are certain shows I feel are worth highlighting or that there's extra interest in or kind of at my whim, I'll add them onto Bandcamp as well. I thought the Boulder shows were really good and musically I thought the first show had some of the best improv we've ever done so I really wanted to have that out there and have people be able to check it out even if they didn't have a Nugz account.
You co-wrote the songs on Bloom & Recede with your brother Luke with the music being inspired by a special set of music Lotus performed at your annual Summerdance Festival in Ohio back in 2019. What was the experience like making the album and how did you guys go about capturing the essence of that performance to put it towards the album?
Our two albums prior to Bloom & Recede were done in this '70s style set up in a room with live takes from the floor with minimal overdubs, but this was more meticulously crafted. The idea was just more of leaning into these modular synth ideas and these sort of minimalist inspired dance tracks. It's very sampling and synth focused, it's pretty layered and kind of slow-building but it's something that was pieced together at different studios. I was doing a lot of it at my home studio, I mixed it there. It was pretty much a modern style of studio creation.
I definitely get that modern vibe from listening to it. Does it ever get stressful for you guys to put together the Summerdance Festival every year or do you have people helping you guys out to ease the responsibility?
The main thing for us is that we're performing six sets over three days. Plus, I often have one of my side projects there or sometimes two so I'm personally looking at eight or nine sets, which adds up to 15 hours of music over the course of a weekend. Trying to keep all that present in your mind, making sure you know the arrangements, the sounds and the parts I think is the most challenging thing.
When it comes to rounding out the bill for the festival, is it always a joint decision among the band of who you want to get to perform with you guys? Does someone else handle that?
I make suggestions but it's mostly our management and the venue that are putting that together.
I get that. What are some goals or accomplishments that Lotus is looking to obtain in 2023? Last year you guys put out two records, so can we expect some more recordings this year either in the studio or via a live performance?
Luke and I have been doing a bunch of writing and tracking with some of the other guys on what will be our new record so there's already been a lot of work done on that over this past year. We'll continue to do that when we're not on the road but I don't have an exact timeline of when we'll wrap it up. Sometimes in the process of making an album we'll write nearly two albums worth of material, but then as we start to put everything together and feel out the full sequence we'll find songs that sound kind of similar and we might need something that's a little more upbeat, something that brings the energy a little more down or something better in the vein of the original songs. It's this slow process of really developing these tracks for a long time and then coming in to write some more in that direction to end up with an album.

When considering ability to pay for college, the annual cost is often discussed but it's the "all in" multi-year degree cost which matters in the end. Let's take a look at what it could really cost for four years at Longy School of Music.
At the current published rates, an estimated total tuition, fees and living expense price for a 4 year bachelor's degree at Longy is $245,080 for students graduating in normal time. This methodology for estimating the 4 year cost is a straight multiple of the most recent reported annual total cost and does not factor in tuition increases during the time you're in school. It also assumes you receive no grant or scholarship aid and pay the full list price.
Most colleges don't charge students on an annual basis but instead require payment semester by semester. If you ever need to take an additional semester of classes to complete you degree you shouldn't have to pay for a full academic year. These our estimated costs for a semester at Longy School of Music.

How much are student loan payments for Longy School of Music?

We've modeled a sample student loan based on current Stafford loan rates to give you an approximate idea.
The following are the costs for a loan if you borrowed $70,512, 100% of the estimated average net price for a four year program and paid nothing while enrolled. The total of all payments including interest would sum $84,586.39. This could be your effective total out of pocket cost of an education at Longy School of Music. Note that this calculation assumes you don't pay full list price tuition, are part of the reported 100% of students at this school who receive financial aid and you are paying an average annual net price of $17,628. If you do not financially qualify for a reduced net price, your student loan payments could be significantly higher than this example.

It is the Individual pioneer who leads the society.
Not all take to that individual for a long time.
In any sector, a time comes when the whole population rushes for it.
Even after that the left over of a small percentage has great work for the collective and for the creative entrepreneur, it is a richer field than usual.
To abridge the time between the appearance of the first individual and the exodus of the population towards that is social development.
In any established field of excessive competition, this area offers a richer pasture for the creative enterprising individual.
After the pioneer or pioneers appear on the scene, the masses hesitate to avail of the social opportunity - education, insurance or phone, etc.
The non-pioneers can benefit by the social support. The society by offering that support enables the individual to grow, which is social growth.
Man hesitates to risk. Society can minimise the risk and encourage the man. Efforts of the society to minimise the risk largely eliminate the risk.
Credit cards issued to people presently not credit worthy makes them value the card and they grow credit worthy.
There are 500 schools in a district here. The first rank boy reaches a professional college and is employed or offered an employment before he leaves the campus. Five hundred first ranking boys, or when you include the second ranking too, a thousand boys in one district are mostly from rural areas and are unsure of a job when they finish. From 5th or 6th grade their job after the course can be insured. No one will deny that insurance. No one will remain unemployed after the course. The very fact they are insured will attract the employer and encourage the boys not to lose their insurance.
What is true of insurance is true of all social institutions. Only that the principle must be translated into a practically viable scheme.
No government need enter the field. Trade can do it to their advantage.
Any principle can be extended to any field is the principle of this strategy, as we see that happened over the past.
The unconscious past is replaced by the conscious present.
No great thinking is needed on the part of the planner. It is enough he looks around and sees what has happened in every section.

Q: VS Code keybind for quick formatting a selection on HTML I recently switched from Brackets to VS Code and I can't find a specific keyboard shortcut that I used regularly on Brackets, and I can't custom create it because I don't know how to correctly describe the command to the program.
On Brackets I used to use the keyboard shortcut Shift+Ctrl+A and with a few lines selected it would let me format the complete selection. It opened a one-line command screen on the bottom and it would let me add up different tags for HTML for example. Let's say I had a few paragraphs that I needed to format into an ol, once selected I would simply type:  ol>li* in the command screen and it would automatically format the whole selection.
English is not my first language so sorry if the explanation is kind of weird! I've been searching for a solution to this for some days and I'm getting nowhere.
Things I already tried/worth noting:

*

*Installed the Brackets keymap extension (I went through all of the keybinds and couldn't replicate this)

*Checked VSCode keybinds list.

*I, unfortunately, uninstalled Brackets and can't take a screenshot of the thingy. I am regretting this so much already. I should have been more aware of the keyboard shortcuts and whatever extensions I had installed.

*Maybe it has to do with an extension that I'm forgetting to install?


Vodafone Idea Rights Issue at Rs. 12.5 a Share, Pricing Rs. 25,000 cr.
Vodafone Idea would issue 20 billion new shares at the price of Rs. 12.50 each at a 60 per cent discount. Therefore, shareholders would be able to buy 87 shares for every 38 shares. The rights issue will significantly increase the number of Vodafone Idea shares by 229 per cent.
The rise in the discount has led the shares of Vodafone Idea falling about 7% intraday, before recovering to close 3.3% higher at Rs. 33.10.


Donald Trump certainly isn't afraid to call it like he sees it. Call it buffoonery or brutal honesty, it's gotten the man more than his fair share of headlines. But his "hero" comments about Sen. John McCain earlier this month caught my attention.
It reminded me of a valuable economic lesson.
Several years ago, I was invited to lunch with Robert Novak (the infamously well-connected reporter who released the name of CIA agent Valerie Plame) and John McCain. It was an incredible conversation.
I walked away with two highlights. McCain told us he definitely wasn't interested in the White House. (The poor choices he made during his subsequent presidential campaign confirmed his lack of interest.) More importantly, though, the famed veteran led me to a pivotal economic study called "Economic Organisation of a P.O.W. Camp." It was written by Robert Radford in 1945.
As a former prisoner, Radford tells a fascinating tale... one that oddly mirrors our modern economy.
In Radford's camp, cigarettes were currency. Despite no shortage of actual German money, his fellow prisoners traded cigarettes. They used the enemy's money only to pay off their gambling debts.
But the prisoners had no way to control the supply of their cigarettes. They couldn't grow tobacco and they certainly weren't allowed to go outside the prison to buy more.
They were entirely dependent on regular provisions from the Red Cross - a prison camp's version of a central bank.
This fact led to huge swings in the supply of cigarettes.
Or, more aptly, it led to huge swings in the monetary supply - not unlike what we're seeing across the world today.
For the prisoners, deflation was a major concern.
Due to the conditions of war, the Red Cross was often not able to deliver fresh cigarettes to the prison. When the supply was interrupted, the amount of money flowing through the camp literally went up in smoke. Add in a couple of nerve-wracking air raids nearby, and the supply plummeted.
Prisoners stashed the few cigarettes they could get their hands on.
With less money flowing through the camp's economy, prices came down. Deflation took hold.
But then something peculiar happened. As the supply of cigarettes dwindled, prisoners pulled some of the tobacco from their machine-made cigarettes and started rolling their own. For a while, the lightweight cigarettes traded at the same price as the full-weight smokes.
But soon, the market caught on. Folks started hoarding the premium cigarettes and trading only the inferior product.
Something known as Gresham's law kicked in.
The law is simple... bad money drives out good money.
Very soon, it was virtually impossible to find the premium machine-rolled cigarettes within the camp. They were all stashed away, while the cheaper hand-rolled cigarettes were openly traded.
This idea teaches us that if two currencies have the same nominal value, but one is truly more valuable, the weaker currency will be traded, while the premium currency will be hoarded.
We've seen this with collectible coins. Coins with the same face value may trade for vastly different prices because of the metals contained within them.
But I argue Gresham's law is now showing up across the globe in a different form.
The idea of good and bad money is taking a different shape. It's not Gresham's law in its truest form, but the underlying principal is the same. Artificial manipulation is creating waves in the economy.
It's critical that investors are able to spot it.
The first example that comes to mind is America's overzealous tax on foreign profits. To a company like Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL), money earned overseas is worth less than money earned at home because America's electronics icon is forced to give Uncle Sam 35% of its foreign income.
Sticking with our cigarette theme, it's like Apple earns a full cigarette... but gets only 65% of it when it brings it home.
The fact forces Apple to not repatriate its cash. Instead, the company hoards it... building a stash that's now worth more than $150 billion in foreign cash.
That's a lot of cigarettes.
Another recent example is the situation in Greece. The idea of switching back to the drachma or creating a new currency was virtually tossed off the table thanks to Gresham's law. With so many euros already in the Greek economy, there was nothing to keep citizens from hoarding euros and spending the new currency... forcing its value even lower against the euro.
It would have stirred incredible headwinds for the already weak economy.
Our point here is not to lecture on Gresham's law. It's a complex idea with many variables. Instead, we want readers to understand that the essential laws of the economy are always in force... no matter the size or scope of the economy.
Whether it's the eurozone or a prison camp, the rules are the same.
In other words, despite strong-arm tactics, it's impossible to bend the rules of the economy. Understand them and you'll make money. Break the rules and you'll certainly be punished.
If you're looking for a hero, read Radford's pivotal work.

David Asbury's murder conviction is quashed (2002)
Posted on January 6, 2016 by INNOCENT in Cases // 0 Comments
Murder conviction is quashed
Retrieved from the BBC News website, 14th August 2002
A man who was convicted of the murder of a Kilmarnock woman has had his sentence quashed by appeal court judges.
David Asbury, who was jailed five years ago, was freed after the judges accepted that fingerprint evidence against him was unreliable.
Scotland's second most senior judge voiced "considerable concern" over the case as Mr Asbury's conviction for the murder of Marion Ross was quashed.
The Crown told the Court of Criminal Appeal in Edinburgh that after independent experts analysed the key evidence it was satisfied it could not be relied on to sustain a conviction.
The case sheds more doubt on the reliability of fingerprint evidence provided by the Scottish Criminal Records Office (SCRO).
Its fingerprint bureau has come under fire in the case of former policewoman Shirley McKie, who was wrongly accused of perjury after denying she had left a thumb print at the scene of Miss Ross' murder.
Mr Asbury's solicitor George More said: "It is worrying and obvious that the Scottish Criminal Records Office got it wrong."
Mr Asbury, who spent three and a half years in prison, said: "I want the Scottish Criminal Records Office to admit it has made a mistake."
Denied murder
The 26-year-old said he was bitter about his experience and added: "I cannot describe it in words. It is beyond description."
His mother, Amelia Crisp, who has stood by her son, said: "I am angry he was charged. I am angry he was convicted, but today I am glad."
Mr Asbury, a joiner, from Kilbirnie, in Ayrshire, was convicted of the murder at the High Court in Glasgow after a 13-day trial.
He had denied murdering Miss Ross at her home in Kilmarnock in January 1997 and stealing a biscuit tin containing £1,400.
He maintained that a tin found at his home contained his life savings.
Miss Ross, a 51-year-old former bank clerk, was subjected to a horrific attack in which her ribs were crushed and she was stabbed in the eye with scissors. The scissors were left embedded in her throat.
At his trial expert witnesses from the SCRO gave evidence that a fingerprint found on the tin in Mr Asbury's bedroom was that of Miss Ross.
It was considered crucial evidence for the prosecution as Mr Asbury could offer no explanation as to why a tin with the victim's print on it should have been found in his home.
But after Detective Constable McKie was charged with perjury evidence began to emerge about the fingerprint evidence and she was acquitted.
'Substantially discredited'
An independent expert from America said that a print found at the scene was not hers and backed her claim that she had never been inside the murder house.
Mr Asbury's lawyers argued that the evidence of SCRO experts had been "substantially discredited".
They said that Mr Asbury, who was released on interim liberation in 2000 pending a full hearing of his appeal, was the victim of a miscarriage of justice.
For the Crown, advocate depute Gerry Hanretty QC accepted that there was fresh evidence in the case.
"It is accepted also that the evidence is significant and accordingly the conviction does fall to be quashed," he said.
Lord Gill said: "Plainly it is a matter of considerable concern for the court that the administration of justice has got into this position."

It was very fun class. Anna offered modifications when necessary.
Devon has great energy and always gets the class moving!
Andy is a great instructor- friendly, encouraging, and helpful. The workout was adjustable to your fitness level. I'm just the right amount of sore today.
Devon's classes are an excellent cardio workout! The music selection is excellent and I'm glad to have this class in my regular rotation!
Great music, great teacher and dance moves! To make the class more energetic, I would suggest the teacher encouraging clapping after each song to keep the motivation and momentum up. It worked in all my other dance workout class!
Great workout, Robin is really enthusiastic and encouraging!
I love coming to Robin's classes. He's tough, but encouraging. Always a hard workout, but you feel so accomplished once you finish!

For those of you who love coffee as much as I do, you might enjoy this piece that I wrote titled "The World on a Cup: Coffee from the Kitchen Table to the Global Stage," published in The Montreal Review. It is an effort to grapple with the history and power of my morning cup, which threads together unfathomably complex social relations across time, space, and scale. Have fun!

The 'medinas' or old walled cities of Morocco are a highly varied urban form with a dynamic history stretching over two thousand years. Each medina developed within and as a response to specific regional conditions of geography, climate, politics, and social relations. Most medinas in the Maghreb (Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia) evince a mix of influences from Berber and other nomadic groups; Roman, Arab, and Ottoman incursions; and French colonial occupation.

ART GARFUNKEL, November, 1975 - Part 2
In my introduction to the first part of this 1975 interview yesterday I mentioned that Art Garfunkel gave a press conference at the Savoy Hotel. I was there, as was my old pal Charles Shaar Murray from NME. A long-time Ramones fan, Charlie asked Art whether he thought his music might benefit from a Ramones' influence. Everyone laughed, embarrassed. Art was lost for words.
Here's part two of my interview, which contains no Ramones' references whatsoever.
Among the musicians who have worked with Art Garfunkel on his new album Breakaway are Andrew Gould, who plays "everything", Larry Knechtel, Jim Keltner, Klaus Voorman and Graham Nash and David Crosby who sing back-up vocals. Beach Boy Bruce Johnson is also featured singing in the background.
But it was Perry's idea to cut 'I Only Have Eyes For You'. "Oh, what a song," murmured Garfunkel in some awe when the subject was raised. "Richard has been wanting to do it for years, in fact, almost half the cuts on the album were specifically brought to my attention by him.
"There was a big difference, night and day, in fact, between working with Perry and Halee. Richard is a bolder, more adventurous producer. He's like a cowboy – he takes more chances and he'll set things up and cut them straight away. Roy Halee would spend far more time miking the foot pedal or whatever and trying all the variations.
"In one sense you could say that spending all the extra time makes him a more careful artist, but Richard makes terrific records in a faster, shoot from the hip, style. Roy comes out of the masterworks department of Columbia Records so he's an engineer and particularly a sound man. He's very conservative. It would be unheard of for him to accept a tape with ticks or pops or anything like that."
While Paul Simon has appeared live in concert both in America and Europe since their split, Garfunkel has yet to make an appearance before the public on stage. Live work, he said, is not his first priority. "I've had my mind on other things. Firstly, I have a rich and active personal life and secondly, musically, I've chosen to spend my time in the recording studio. If I was going to do any touring, I would have had to take something away from that.
"I have a rough idea of what kind of show I'd do, but I haven't worked on it yet. But there's a chance of it happening next year. Probably a tour of small places."
Bridge Over Troubled Water, the album, has to date sold more than nine million copies. Currently it's vying for the biggest seller ever slot with Sound Of Music which, of course, was released some years before. Had Garfunkel ever wondered why this particular album should register such freak sales figures.
"I didn't think it was that much better than our other albums. I thought Bookends was a good album too. I don't think Bridge was so different from the others to justify the extra sales. I have to say that diversity of appeal might have accounted for it. I know that some of the people who bought it are mums and dads types and some others are 12 year olds. It was cognisant of a lot of different kinds of tastes and it had a wide appeal. 'Celia' was an up-tempo song, 'Bridge' itself was an anthem-like ballad, 'Frank Lloyd Wright' was a kind of bossa nova and there was brass on some tracks. It just appealed to all kinds of different people."
Had Art, the original 'Bridge' vocalist any opinions on Paul's live version which has been recorded? "I know if I say anything at all and it's not tactful you'll lift it out of context and it'll be the headline," he said with a grin. "You want me to say something that is in the least possible taste... well, I like our version of 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' better than Paul's solo version."
How come Paul has been more active since the break-up. "First of all Paul's heart-beat is a lot faster than mine. He is more neurotic than I am and he needs to achieve new things more than I do. I can sit back and eat a peach and I don't have the urge to work that he does.
"I miss him not writing songs for me to sing, although I never felt he was writing for me specifically in the past. When I make an album now, I miss the quality of his lyrics and his chord changes and melodies. I still have a great regard for his writing."
Which brought us back to THAT question. "Well, I definitely would not rule out the possibility of us appearing together again, but at the present I don't have any specific plans to do a tour with Paul so it's one of those things where there's no reason why not but there's just no plans to do it.
"I feel confident on my own. I did not feel that I was missing anything when I started working on my own three years ago on the first recordings on Angel Claire. I would have enjoyed Paul's musical attributes and it would have been a much better record if I could have used the resources he would have brought, but I didn't feel the lack of Paul."
Why did you break up in the first place? A long pause... "Well, something to do with the movie Catch 22 and Mike Nichols, something to do with two different schedules, something to do with a little bit of excitement being off the album-making process... it was a little less fresh than it used to be... something to do with us thinking 'why not split up?'... everybody out there thinks it's a crazy thing to do, but why not, it seems like an interesting thing to do separate things for a while.
"We never set out to accomplish anything as Simon & Garfunkel. We had no conscious goal except to make records and hope that they were popular. We worked very hard and some of the things that amazed me were how one gets so popular and how the popularity process works. I must also say that it amazed me that some of our records sold as much as they did, that they were that popular. It seemed sort of freakish, but it didn't amaze me that we caught on and became a popular act, because I simply thought we were good."
Immediately after the split Garfunkel played leading roles in two films, Catch 22 and Carnal Knowledge. Did he intend to carry on his film career? "In a broad way, yes, but I have no specific plans. I wasn't all that satisfied with my performances in the films and, in fact, I preferred Two Lane Black Top of them all.
"I'm still offered scripts, but I used to be offered more than I am now because I've kept turning everything down. It's just another form of expression that I am really happy to avail myself of. To express yourself in the creative arts by going and making a film is a terrific change from making records and I'd love to do it again.
"I do prefer singing, though."

Randolph Greene Pack (1890 in Cleveland, Ohio – December 25, 1956 in Greenwich, Connecticut), was an American philanthropist.

Early life and education
Randolph Greene Pack, son of Charles Lathrop Pack, grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, at the turn of the century. He attended the college preparatory Ransom School, followed by stints at Williams College (class of 1913) and Penn State, the latter in a forestry program.

Early career
Under his father's tutelage, Randolph began preparing for a career in forestry. While a student at Penn State, he spent one summer working "as a Montana logger". Not long afterward, in 1912, at "a mere twenty-two years old, he became vice president of ... the Tall Tree Lumber Company", just established in southern Arkansas by William Buchanan in partnership with Charles Lathrop Pack. Two years later, Randolph returned to Cleveland long enough to marry Georgia Fuller; the newlyweds set up residence in Good Pine, Louisiana. After a bout with malaria, in 1916 Randolph and his wife returned to Cleveland, where, for the next seven years, he was "vice president in charge of engineering" with the American Multigraph Company, owned by Harry C. Osborne, a friend of his father's.

Pack Forestry Foundation
Randolph was an officer of the Charles Lathrop Pack Forestry Foundation from 1931–1956, serving as president from 1937, upon his father's death. According to his father's biographer, Alexandra Eyle, Randolph "had developed a deep interest in world politics and economics. Through the foundation, he could launch forestry management programs in Asia, [Central] and South America."

Through the Pack Foundation, Randolph "became a founder of the Mexican Institute of Renewable Natural Resources" (Instituto Mexicano de Recursos Naturales Renovables, or IMERNAR), headed by Enrique Beltrán, who received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1932 for his conservation efforts. IMERNAR was one of the first environmental non-governmental organizations (ENGOs) in Mexico.

Eyle suggests, as well, that Randolph Greene Pack "helped create the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization."

A further arena of Pack's contributions to international forestry was in helping rebuild the forest resources of Japan and Taiwan, following World War II. Through the Pack Foundation, he helped the US Department of Defense formulate a new forestry law for Japan, to encourage rebuilding of that country's devastated forestry sector; and the US Department of State in strengthening forest policy in Taiwan.

Pack worked closely in the Foundation with Tom Gill, secretary of the Foundation, and international forester. Together, they contributed to the establishment of forest education and forest policy also in Venezuela and the Philippines.

Death
Randolph Greene Pack "died in 1956, at the age of sixty-six, after suffering for several months of a brain tumor".

Legacy
The Randolph G. Pack Environmental Institute at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry was established in 1995, through a bequest of Pack's daughter, Virginia Pack Townsend. Honoring Pack and his efforts in international forest policy and conservation, the Institute aims to support and strengthen scholarship and collaboration in international environmental, natural resource and conservation policy.

01 Feb Rewind Fast Forward Podcast Episode 2
Posted at 16:01h in Podcast	by	KCFF
I'm a horror fan. So, when I had the opportunity to do the Q&A at the Kingston Canadian Film Festival for the Canadian premiere of a new horror film Berkshire County, touted as the revival of the 1980s babysitting horror flick, I jumped at the chance. And as it turns out, the chance had me jumping quite often, because Berkshire County is a well-crafted, tense and delightfully frightening horror movie. And at the helm of it all, is director Audrey Cummings.
Berkshire went on to win the Grand Jury Prize for Best Feature Film at Shriekfest Los Angeles. The win made her the first female to win the award in the 18-year history of the festival.
Audrey went on to direct an 11-episode digital series; the prelude to her award winning second feature film Darken, a sci-fi/fantasy thriller which won her four awards including Best Science Fiction Feature Film and two Best Director Awards.
Then came Audrey's third feature film She Never Died, an immortal action thriller unlike any I've seen before. The film became a hit on the film festival circuit, garnering considerable critical acclaim as well as some major awards.
Audrey received the WIFT New Vision Fellowship Award for Best Emerging Canadian Female Director and was the recipient of the Barry Avrich Award for Emerging Canadian Filmmaker from the Toronto International Film Festival.
