Place d'Armes
The Palace of Versailles was the principal royal residence of France from 1682, under Louis XIV, until the start of the French Revolution in 1789, under Louis XVI. It is located in the department of Yvelines, in the region of Île-de-France, about 20 kilometres (12 miles) southwest of the centre of Paris.
The palace is now a Monument historique and UNESCO World Heritage site, notable especially for the ceremonial Hall of Mirrors, the jewel-like Royal Opera, and the royal apartments; for the more intimate royal residences, the Grand Trianon and Petit Trianon located within the park; the small rustic Hameau (Hamlet) created for Marie Antoinette; and the vast Gardens of Versailles with fountains, canals, and geometric flower beds and groves, laid out by André le Nôtre. The Palace was stripped of all its furnishings after the French Revolution, but many pieces have been returned and many of the palace rooms have been restored.
In 2017 the Palace of Versailles received 7,700,000 visitors, making it the second-most visited monument in the Île-de-France region, just behind the Louvre and ahead of the Eiffel Tower.
The Park and Gardens are open every day. The access is free. You can access the estate of Trianon through the Gardens or through the city. There are three train stations in Versailles, the closest one of the Palace is Versailles Château Rive Gauche.

My day one project is Egg Carton Fire Starters. It is based on this pin from The Art of Doing Stuff blog that I spotted recently on Pinterest. I honestly didn't expect it to work very well. Especially after I saw the finished product! It looked far from beautiful. But hey, store-bought fire starters are expensive and I had this huge candle my mom had sent me for the holidays, lots of drier lint and an empty egg carton.
I spent about an hour or so filling up six of the egg cubbies. I learned on the first one to cut off the lid and place it underneath; by the end of the second I put down a silicone mat to save time peeling off the wax drippage, as well as cut apart the cubbies early on.
The end product is far from beautiful, especially when you have four cats that contributed their fur to the drier lint. Good thing these are intended to be lit on fire.
So I threw a few pieces of wood into my fireplace and added in the first fire starter I made. My expectation was that it'd light briefly but peter out fast once the top lint was gone. I was actually surprised when it stayed lit long enough for me to grab my phone and snap this picture.
The fire just continued to grow. This was about 3-5 minutes in. The normal store-bought fire starters we use rarely catch the wood this well this quickly.
From this point on the fire just got increasingly larger. It's currently nice and toasty behind me as I type this up. If you have candles, egg cartons and some drier lint (or similar materials) around your home and a need to light a fire, I highly recommend spending the time on this project.
Tomorrow's project should be paper beads. Happy New Year, everyone!

Rudy Giuliani's indicted associates attended Indiana GOP event that promoted Braun, others
Tony Cook
Two associates of Rudy Giuliani who are accused of illegally funneling foreign money into U.S. campaigns attended an Indiana Republican event promoting U.S. Sen. Mike Braun and others just days before the 2018 election.
The reason remains a mystery.
The two men, Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, accompanied Giuliani on the Nov. 3, 2018, campaign stop in Franklin Township. They can be seen in photographs and video from the event, but Braun's campaign said they weren't there at his invitation.
The event took place at a time when federal prosecutors say Parnas and Fruman were trying to enhance their influence in political circles by attending events and contributing money to candidates across the country.
The Indiana politicians who participated in the event, including Braun, Gov. Eric Holcomb, and U.S. Sen. Todd Young, said they do not recall any interactions with the two men.
An IndyStar review of state and federal campaign finance records does not show any contributions to Indiana candidates from Parnas, Fruman or their affiliated entities. That said, their contributions might very well have ultimately benefited candidates in Indiana.
A shell company prosecutors say they created, Global Energy Producers LLC, contributed $325,000 to a super PAC, America First Action. That super PAC spent $2.8 million opposing Braun's opponent, then-Sen. Joe Donnelly, in addition to spending money on many other races across the country.
The men contributed smaller sums in their own names to several other committees that supported Braun (and many other Republicans), including the National Republican Senatorial Committee and Vice President Mike Pence's Great America Committee.
Parnas, 46, a U.S. citizen born in Ukraine, and Fruman, 53, a U.S. citizen born in Belarus, were arraigned today in Manhattan federal court before U.S. District Court Judge Paul Oetken. Both men pleaded not guilty and are free on $1 million bonds.
A criminal indictment unsealed on Oct. 10 accuses Parnas and Fruman of conspiring to funnel hundreds of thousands of dollars in illegal campaign contributions from foreign donors to U.S. government officials, candidates and political action committees.
The contributions, some disguised through so-called straw donors, were aimed at boosting the campaigns of President Donald Trump and his allies, advancing the interests of a Ukrainian government official and funding a planned cannabis retail business in the U.S., the indictment alleged.
The case has drawn national attention because the two men assisted Giuliani, who is Trump's personal lawyer, in his effort to convince the government of Ukraine to open up an investigation of Trump's political rival Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden.
House Democrats have subpoenaed Parnas and Fruman as witnesses in the ongoing impeachment inquiry of Trump.
An IndyStar video of Giuliani's campaign stop in Indiana shows the two men, clad in suits and dark sunglasses, accompanying the former New York City mayor as he arrives at the event. They can also be seen in photos posted to Indiana Republican Party social media accounts.
They did not participate in the event, which was part of a statewide bus tour for Braun and other Indiana GOP candidates organized by the state party as part of a final blitz before the election.
In a five-minute speech, Giuliani urged support for Braun, praised Trump's record on jobs and highlighted his friendship with the president.
"I've known him for 29 years, and he's a close friend," Giuliani said of Trump. "I knew he would be a good president."
Indiana Republican Party Chairman Kyle Hupfer said Giuliani and his two associates arrived to the event late and did not join candidates on the bus ride to or from the event.
Hupfer said neither he nor the governor recall any interactions with the two men. Spokesmen for Braun and Young said the same thing.
"Nobody even talked to them," said Joshua Kelley, a spokesman for Braun. "I think the assumption was they were part of Giuliani's security detail."
Giuliani did not respond to inquiries from IndyStar about why Parnas and Fruman accompanied him on the trip to Indiana. An attorney for Parnas did not respond to inquiries. Fruman's attorney declined to answer questions.
Jennifer Hallowell, an Indianapolis political consultant, coordinated Giuliani's visit. She said he "was traveling to multiple states to support Republican candidates."
"It's customary for elected officials and VIPs to have staffers or associates traveling with them," she said. "I didn't know who was accompanying him that day, and aside from possible greetings, I didn't have conversations with them."
Braun campaigned as a staunch Trump loyalist and has criticized the impeachment inquiry as a partisan affair. He has said Trump's request that the president of Ukraine open an investigation of the Bidens doesn't rise to the level of impeachment, though Braun has said he personally wouldn't have made the request.

New Orleans, LA – The National Institutes of Health has awarded a $2.5 million translational research grant over five years to Noelle Moreau, PhD, PT, Associate Professor of Physical Therapy at LSU Health New Orleans School of Allied Health Professions, to study the effectiveness of a highly innovative approach to improve the ability of children with cerebral palsy to walk. Dr. Moreau will investigate the effects of Power Training combined with Interval Treadmill Training, known as PT3, on functional walking capacity, muscle performance and architecture. PT3 is a combined impairment and task-specific approach, which targets muscle power deficits specifically.
"Current rehabilitation practice uses motor learning principles related to specificity of practice, or task-specific training, for improving walking in those with neurological disorders, such as cerebral palsy," notes Moreau. "This traditional singular approach fails to address the underlying muscular mechanisms responsible for the walking limitations and has not been shown to be more effective than other therapies in people with spinal cord injury, stroke, and cerebral palsy. In this intervention, we will address muscle power, a key ingredient that is missing from current clinical practice for children with cerebral palsy, and combine it in a package of care with a task-specific training protocol that allows the participants to practice using muscle power generation during the functional task of walking."
The study, funded by the NIH's National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, seeks to determine the immediate and retention effects of PT3 on functional walking capacity in ambulatory children with cerebral palsy; quantify the effects of treatment on muscle architecture and performance; and directly capture the effect of treatment on community-based walking activity and participation using novel, mobile-sensing technology.
The LSU Health New Orleans site of the multi-center clinical trial will enroll 24 ambulatory children with cerebral palsy who are between the ages of 10 and 17. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either PT3 or an equivalent dosage of traditional strength training combined with traditional treadmill training for 24 sessions, 3 times per week for 8 weeks.
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a nonprogressive developmental disorder of movement and posture that leads to activity limitation caused by damage to the immature brain before, during, or shortly after birth. CP occurs in 3.6 per 1,000 live births or 1 in 278 children, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and is the most common physical disability originating in childhood. The CDC reports the incidence of CP is higher than childhood cancer, hearing and vision loss, spina bifida, hemophilia, fetal alcohol syndrome, and cystic fibrosis. Although the initial brain insult is nonprogressive, CP is a lifelong disorder due to secondary musculoskeletal problems and associated activity limitations that progress into adulthood. Gait disturbances are an activity limitation that is a hallmark characteristic of CP. Walking ability significantly deteriorates in 50% of ambulatory children with CP beginning in childhood/adolescence. Of those who stop walking, 75% will lose the ability to walk before the age of 25, severely impacting their ability to participate in daily life.
"This intervention represents a paradigm shift in clinical practice by addressing the specific underlying muscular mechanisms responsible for walking limitations in this group, incorporating task-specific training of walking, and focusing on developmentally appropriate pediatric walking activity patterns, rather than adult patterns, that require muscle power to be generated through high-speed intervals," says Moreau.

The Two Things That Rarely Happen After a Medical Mistake
Patients seldom are told or get an apology when they are harmed during medical care, according to a new study based on results from ProPublica's Patient Harm Questionnaire.
Marshall Allen & Olga Pierce

Patients who suffer injuries, infections, or mistakes during medical care rarely get an acknowledgment or apology, researchers at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine report.
The study was based on responses of 236 patients who completed ProPublica's Patient Harm Questionnaire during the one-year period ending in May 2013 and who agreed to share their data.
Results of the study, led by professor of surgery Marty Makary and conducted independently from ProPublica, were published online November 13 by the Journal of Patient Safety. The study found:
It was common for health care providers to withhold information about medical mistakes. Only nine percent of patients said the medical facility voluntarily disclosed the harm.
When officials did disclose harm it was often because they were forced to. Nine percent of respondents said the harm was only acknowledged under pressure.
Apologies were infrequent. Only 11 percent of patients or their family members reported getting an apology from a provider.
More than 30 percent reported paying bills related to the harm. The average cost: $14,024.
Another study last year in the Journal of Patient Safety estimated that at least 210,000 U.S. hospital patients a year die from medical mistakes. Yet while the problem is widespread, Makary and his research team wrote, there is little research into how patients feel about experiencing medical harm.
Clinicians may see the need to be more open with patients but lack the "moral courage" to do it, researchers said. Patient advocates and providers should work together on how to best inform patients, and medical schools and training programs can introduce the needed skills, they said.
The authors cautioned that because their findings are from a self-selected sample of patients it is not possible to draw definitive conclusions about patient harm or disclosure.
More than 600 people have volunteered to complete ProPublica's Patient Harm Questionnaire, including participants in the Consumers Union Safe Patient Project, which shared the survey.
The questionnaire helps ProPublica's reporters find stories and trends. Only respondents who first consented to participate were included in Makary's research.

Newsom Says Green Jobs Key to Recovery
By Joe Rubin
Joe Rubin / CPR
There are plenty of hard hats working on a Davis Construction project these days. More than 250 are employed full time. California's LT Governor says that these are just the type of green jobs that California needs.
When it opens in the fall, UC Davis West Village will be big, housing thousands of students, families a college classrooms and retail space.
But LT Governor Gavin Newsom, came to the nearly completed construction site today not so much to celebrate it's size, but to reinforce a message that green energy is the key to California's economic recovery.
NEWSOM: We have 26 California counties with unemployment north of 15%. These are depression era numbers. We have got to focus on the issue of job creation.
The core concept of the Davis project is that it will be zero net energy living. Four mega watts of Solar power combined with energy efficiency means that the development will not draw any extra energy from the grid.
NEWSOM: I don't know that people appreciate the history that this project will represent as people look back at this moment. We are not talking about LEED certification anymore. With all due respect that is hibrid cars, that's yesterday.
Fall UC Davis students will be the first residents in West Village beginning in September. Retail and more housing as slated to be ready by early 2012.

Tennessee vs. West Virginia Fearless Prediction, Game Preview

Tennessee vs. West Virginia fearless prediction and game preview.
Date: Saturday, September 1
Game Time: 3:30 pm ET
Venue: Bank of America Stadium, Charlotte, NC
– 2018 CFN Preview
Tennessee Preview | West Virginia Preview
Tennessee (0-0) vs. West Virginia (0-0) Game Preview
It's sort of strange that two schools this big and with their respective histories haven't met, especially considering they're only around 400 miles part – that's nothing in college football road trip world.
But they get to meet for the first time down the road from Knoxville in Charlotte, and it's going to be one of those games that could make-or-break a season before it even gets started –
At least. it could be that way for West Virginia and the Big 12.
Tennessee and new head coach Jeremy Pruitt will get time to turn this massive ship around. It should happen sooner than some might think, but no one's expecting national titles right away.
For Dana Holgorsen and the Mountaineers, if not now, when?
The Big 12 needs as many giant, splashy brand-name wins as it can get, and West Virginia should be one of the league's biggest stars this season. Lose, and it obviously doesn't affect the conference title chances, but the national attention for the Mountaineers won't be there, even with a big season for the offense.
If Tennessee wins, that might just be the kickstart the program needs under the new guy.
One Reason Why Tennessee Will Win
Is it possible for Tennessee's offensive front to line up and power away on the West Virginia defensive line?
New offensive coordinator Tyson Helton is eventually going to be great for the passing game – looking for a slew of quick-hitting plays to get the ball rolling – but the hope will be for the offensive line that was decimated by injuries last season to be ready to roll right out of the box.
The Mountaineer secondary has the upside to be among the best in the Big 12, so it'll be up to Tennessee to try getting things going against a defensive front that was way too soft last season as it allowed almost five yards per carry.
There's talent and upside on the WVU front three, but it might take a chunk of the season to get there. The Vols have to take advantage.
One Reason Why West Virginia Will Win
September 25th, 2015.
That might have been almost three years ago, but Tennessee couldn't seem to stop the Florida quarterback who struggled on third downs, but managed to convert all five fourth down chances in a thrilling comeback 28-27 win in Gainesville.
Now, Will Grier is older, better, and a West Virginia Mountaineer.
The Vol killer of a few years ago has the talent to be the Big 12's best quarterback this season, and he's got the receivers to put up a massive season.
Tennessee might have finished third in the country in pass defense, but that's because everyone spent so much time running the ball. Grier, David Sills, and the rest of the Mountaineer offense should put on a show through the air. While the Vols are going to be a work in progress offensively, WVU should be able to hit the ground running – and throwing – in Charlotte.
Tennessee's defense will be great – eventually. The Vol offense that struggled so much to score last year needs to be ready for a shootout, and it won't be.
– Get Tickets For This Game
What's Going To Happen
Tennessee will score. Considering that wasn't a given over a large portion of last season, start from there.
There might be a whole lot of excitement around the Pruitt era, and there's a lot of talent there to push for a big year, but Grier and the West Virginia offense will be way too good.
It'll be an inspired defensive effort by the Vol D, but the O won't take advantage of the opportunities to take over the game.
West Virginia won't dominant, but it'll be a great moment for the program to show off the possibilities for the 2018 season. It's a game the Mountaineers need to have, and they'll get it.

DAILY CRYPTOCURRENCY ANALYSIS
BITCOIN [BTC] 444036.30 TRY
While the aid package is expected to pass from the Senate, on the other hand, the Bitcoin and S&P 500 correlation has risen to a five-month high. The effect of this sentence on cryptocurrencies is quite intense. Rising interest rates in the USA, rhetoric that the corporate tax will be increased and the increase in the UK put pressure on major indices and even altcoins are affected by Bitcoin dominance. BTC, trading at the $ 47,000 level this morning, seems to be with 2.5% sellers. Although it is not a problem with cryptocurrencies, this situation, which is suppressed by the global risk appetite, increases the uncertainty. Speaking yesterday evening, Fed Chairman Powell said that the calmness will be maintained for now for rising interest rates, that the Fed is far from its targets and will use all the tools at its disposal if necessary; The upward pressure in interest rates continued and caused the currencies to be negatively affected.
When we consider BTC / USD technically, the declining trend that occurred in the daily period, the bullish channel that was disrupted in the four-hour period and the TOBO that did not form, rejected the rise. For this reason, there is a technical weakness. Although incoming metric data says that big sellers are stopping, the volumes show us that new buyers are not entering. The double top outlook in the daily period is also preparing downside if the $ 44,000 level is broken. For this reason, it can be considered to put stop loss behind the 44 thousand zone. Currently, there is a response run at $ 46,500, which corresponds to the Fibo'23.6 slice. 48.800 is the resistance zone that corresponds to the Fibo'38.2 slice.

Ethereum is trading sideways and weak at $ 1470 this morning, keeping up with the weak movements of the general market direction. While the ETH-BTC splitter offers a more positive outlook for Ethereum, there is a general decline due to pressure from the stock and interest market. Goldman Sachs is also entering into cryptocurrency transactions, and 60% of its participants in the survey they have answered that they will increase their crypto assets in the coming period. Ethereum can also get a considerable share of this pie once it enters CME. On the other hand, ERC-20 network charges remain high, even though network charges are falling or not at the height to threaten the price of ETH at the moment.
When we consider the ETH / USD pair technically, the previous $ 1416 peak in the weekly period is currently our major support. Because if it goes under this region, it may turn into "dark cloud cover", which is a declining candle formation in the weekly period. In the four-hour period, TOBO did not occur and refused to cross the neckline, with no approval. The MACD is still on sale. The $ 1470 level is our Fibo'23.6 support, while $ 1416 is our major zone. It is useful to go with a prudent strategy. The outlook is weak and supportive.

The AVAX / USD pair is retracing 3.5% this morning and its current course is around $ 24.80. AVAX has been integrated into a new trading platform today, along with BTC and USD pairs. This development was welcomed positively for AVAX, whose partnerships gradually increased on the DeFi side. The platform allows AVAX to be staked and AVAX investors to profit from it.
The AVAX / USD pair remains horizontal between $ 22.00, the starting point of Fibonacci, and $ 31.00, which coincides with the Fibo' $ 23.60 level. The $ 31.00 level working as resistance pushed the pair to the current level of $ 24.80 as the hourly price candles gradually weakened in the last 3-day period. Initial support is at $ 22.00. Oscillators have begun to leave the negative zone. Stochastik,% R and RSI with the ends pointing up are thus giving a positive signal in the 4-hour period. For this reason, an upward reaction can be watched in the short term before reaching the support level. However, the view is quite horizontal.

RIPPLE [XRP] 7.65 TRY
The previous day, Ripple co-founder Brad Garlinghouse announced on Twitter that he had written a five-page denial of action to the SEC. Today, the lawyers of Chris Larsen, board member and co-founder, sent a letter to the New York court. In the letter, it was emphasized that the SEC's allegations were unfounded and could not prove their accusations. XRP saw a 6% price increase after the letter details were released. On the other hand, Ripple, which has recently announced its work on central banks, is trying to eliminate the negative impact of the litigation process by making strong breakthroughs. It is seen that XRP, which was not listed in many exchanges after the lawsuit, also increased its transfer volumes. Before moving on to the technical part, we should state that XRP has not technically reflected this, as well as the macro indicators gaining strength. However, we can say that the postponed valuations can spread to a more accelerated process. Still, it remains a key point for the potentially strong XRP project.
When the XRP / USD pair is technically analyzed, it is seen that the reaction from the $ 0.46 zone led the pair up by 6%, and then returned to the overall $ 0.46 old support zone. When the support zone specified during the day is followed, but when the chart is analyzed hourly, it is observed that the price movements here are unstable. On the other hand, as volume pulls itself down, momentum also peaks in CCI. For possible pullbacks, the $ 0.41 zone becomes the main support and reaction level.

LITECOIN [LTC] 1777.69 TRY
LTC / USD parity appears on the last day of the week with prices in the region of $ 172. Litecoin has lost 5% on a daily basis, but Grayscale's purchase of Litecoin for the last month means demanding most of the Litecoin supply produced, and at the 24-hour exchange, 2500 LTC contracts were bought by Grayscale. However, it is inevitable that the negative developments on the Bitcoin side will also affect LTC prices, because Litecoin is one of the market leaders with the highest correlation with BTC. In the upcoming period, we can expect the intense interest on the Litecoin side to reflect positively on their valuations against the dollar.
When the LTC / USD parity is analyzed technically, it is seen that the pricing is above the $ 171 level in the Fibo'23.60 tranche. We can say that 23.60% of the Fibonacci retracement could work as strong support for LTC from where we can see upward reactions. On the other hand, when the Stochastik,% R and RSI indicators are analyzed, we can say that they are very close to the oversold zones and the reactions from here tend to be positive.

Although LINK is experiencing a 4% retracement this morning, it has lost 10% in the 24-hour period, but remains in the 7% plus zone for weekly returns. On the other hand, with the increasing popularity and widespread use of cryptocurrencies and payment procedures, we see that LINK has also been integrated into many platforms. The previous day, a booking company that appeals to thousands of users and a platform that provides staking and interest income on cryptocurrencies, they started to support LINK as a payment and staking tool.
The LINK / USD pair broke down the $ 28.90 level, which is the main support zone, and accelerated the loss of the price here, by succumbing to the sell-off course. The correction experienced ended with the testing of $ 25.60, the middle band of the channel formed in the sagging regions, and a 5% response was recorded from here. Price candles above the $ 27.30 channel upper band may create a calm but positive course with the pair holding onto the bullish channel.

BASIC ATTENTION TOKEN [BAT] 4.89 TRY
Brave platform, which enables Basic Attention Token to be integrated and accumulated as it is used, announced a new partnership. The company stated that it will make improvements through another browser that it has purchased, and that it aims to offer a new browser that works at Google standards and is also privacy-focused. Although detailed information about the process is not yet available, upgrades on Brave will continue to be positive for BAT. It would not be wrong to say that Brave's increasing potential day by day also positively affects the general course on BAT.
When the BAT / USD parity is analyzed technically, it is seen that Basic Attention Token, which has retreated by 4% on a daily basis, is priced in the $ 0.66 region. The uptrend that started as of February 23 is preserved, even the reactions are in the direction of the trend and more accelerated for the last few days. The chart retraces a little after the strong rise that it previously gave its signals and is holding on to the Fibo'78.60 retracement zone. The current correction zone in the $ 0.66 zone could be the support zone for the chart. We can say that the flag is still continuing, although the $ 0.56 level, where the flag formation started, is the point where the minor uptrend has passed.

Man Who Made Knife From Frozen Poop Among 2020 Ig Nobel Winners
Maybe this year's Ig Nobels, the spoof prizes for dubious but humorous scientific achievement, should have been renamed the Ick Nobels.
An anthropologist who tested an urban legend by fashioning a knife out of frozen human feces, and a man who found that spiders oddly give scientists who study insects the heebie-jeebies, are among the 2020 winners.
Because of the coronavirus pandemic, Thursday's 30th annual Ig Nobel ceremony was a 75-minute prerecorded virtual affair instead of the usual live event at Harvard University. Even so, it managed to maintain some of the event's traditions, including real Nobel Prize laureates handing out the amusing alternatives.
"It was a nightmare, and it took us months, but we got it done," said Marc Abrahams, editor of the Annals of Improbable Research magazine, the event's primary sponsor.
This year's winners also included a collection of world leaders who think they're smarter than doctors and scientists, and a team of Dutch and Belgian researchers who looked at why chewing and other sounds people make drive us crazy.
Metin Eren has been fascinated since high school by the story of an Inuit man in Canada who made a knife out of his own excrement. The story has been told and retold, but is it true?
Eren and his colleagues decided to find out.
Eren, an assistant professor of anthropology at Kent State University in Ohio and co-director of the university's Experimental Archaeology Lab, used real human feces frozen to minus-50 degrees Centigrade and filed to a sharp edge.
He then tried to cut meat with it.
"The poop knives failed miserably," he said in a telephone interview. "There's not a lot of basis empirically for this fantastic story."
The study is a little gross but makes an important point: There are a lot of narratives out there based on phony or unproven science.
"The point of this was to show that evidence and fact checking are vital," he said.
Richard Vetter won an Ig Nobel for his paper looking at why people who spend their lives studying insects are creeped out by spiders.
His paper, "Arachnophobic Entomologists: Why Two Legs Make all the Difference," appeared in the the journal American Entomologist in 2013.
Vetter, a retired research associate and spider specialist who worked in the entomology department at the University of California Riverside for 32 years, found during the course of his work that many insect lovers hate spiders.
"It always struck me as funny that when I talked to entomologists about spiders, they would say something along the lines of, 'Oh, I hate spiders!'" he said in a telephone interview.
He found that many bug lovers had had a negative experience with a spider, including bites and nightmares. The fact that spiders are often hairy, fast, silent and have all those creepy eyes freaks out entomologists, he said.
This year's Ig Nobel for Medical Education was shared by a group of world leaders including U.S. President Donald Trump, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Russian President Vladimir Putin for their attitude around the pandemic.
"These are all individuals who realized that their judgment is better than the judgment of people who have been studying this their entire lives, and were more insistent about it," Abrahams said.
Abrahams made efforts to reach out to the world leaders to accept their awards, with no luck. "It would have been fun for them to take part," he said.
Damiaan Denys and his colleagues earned the Ig Nobel in medicine for pioneering a new psychiatric diagnosis — misophonia — getting annoyed by noises others make.
Denys, a professor at the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands and a psychiatrist who specializes in patients with anxiety, compulsive and impulsive disorders, was inspired by a former patient who became so enraged by people who sneezed that she felt like killing them.
"I had a lot of knowledge about compulsive disorder but these complaints did not meet any existing clinical picture," he said in an email.
In order to keep the tradition of real Nobel Prize winners handing out the Ig Nobels, organizers came up with a bit of video wizardry. Each winner was mailed a document that they could print out that included instructions on how to assemble their own cube-shaped prize. To make it look as if the real Nobel laureates were handing them out, they handed their prizes off screen, and the winner reached off screen to pull in the one they had self-assembled.
As usual, most winners welcomed the recognition that comes with the spoof prize — sort of.
Denys said that while the Ig Nobels ridicule legitimate scientific work, they also bring attention and publicity.
Eren attended the Ig Nobel ceremony in 2003 when he was an undergraduate student at Harvard, so he was thrilled to finally win one of his own.
"To be honest, it was a dream come true," he said.

Being a winter wedding photographer in CO is so much fun! We love doing what we do. Every time, even in the cold winter snow! Even though we are based in NM, we enjoy spending time away in another town like Pagosa Springs, CO and being able to enjoy someone's huge event. We know that every couple feels the pressures of choosing the best wedding planner, wedding venue, florist, and the best winter wedding photographer in CO for their special day, among many details to consider.
Among the craziness of planning a wedding Kyle and Shelby chose us. They are some incredible people. It was beautiful to hear their stories and see this man in uniform, who serves our country, fall deeply in love with someone as he did.
We understand that not everyone has the same idea and preference as us when it comes to wedding photography styles, and that's OK, but when Shelby called us on the phone, we knew she loved what we had to offer. She was excited to hear our story and we were thrilled to be able to take part in her and Kyle's journey to their special day! She wanted a photographer that had an artistic eye for bokeh with their photography. Thankfully, we take the most care when focusing our subjects just right so that everything else doesn't matter because there is nothing as important as setting our attention to the bride and groom in as many photos as possible.
The way Shelby and Kyle really wanted their wedding to stand out was to have it in the winter time, and more specifically take advantage of the snow. They had some of the most intriguing little touches that made their woodland wedding theme stand out.
Making use of the snow was a bold move, but she had confidence knowing that we would do anything in order to capture her wedding whether it was in the rain, snow, or sun.
We always give suggestions to brides on how to schedule their day and plan ahead. In addition to her flexibility, Shelby was open to us doing whatever we needed to do that we felt would add to the overall beauty and detail of her pictures.
Even though Shelby opted-out of the first-look, she made sure to give a good amount of time to the bride and groom photos after the ceremony, and as you'll see below, they came out amazing.
Mirabal Photography is a professional photography company specializing in natural light photography helping people to celebrate life events such as weddings, graduations, engagements, Bar Mitzvahs & Bat Mitzvahs, Quinceañeras, and all lifestyle celebrations. The work style is quickly gaining attention for product, fashion, and beauty photography as well.

Stella Artois Unveils Beer-Serving 'Robot' for the Holidays
By CGT Staff - 12/03/2018
Stella Artois has introduced a unique holiday gift/marketing gimmick that could be the life of seasonal parties.
Dubbed "BART" (for "Bartending Automated Robotic Technology"), the device is mounted to the top of a robotic vacuum to become a de facto server that can bring snacks and beverages directly to party guests, saving hosts multiple runs into the kitchen. As a vacuum, it can also clean up crumbs.
The clear plastic device features a tray that can hold up to four bottles, glasses and/or snack bowls. Specially designed cup holders keep drinks from spilling in transit. The gadget is available in limited quantities for $19.99 on the brand's website. Consumers can also download 3D blueprints to recreate the device themselves.
"Everyone can relate to hosting a holiday party and spending more time running around or cleaning up than actually enjoying time with friends and family," said Lara Krug, vice president at Stella Artois. "This year, Stella Artois decided to make consumers' lives a little easier by introducing BART."
Although Stella Artois's tongue is firmly in its cheek, BART does reflect a broader trend involving the introduction of higher-end technologies designed to facilitate everyday household tasks.
The global market for robotic vacuum cleaners, for example, is expected to reach $2.5 billion by 2021, according to Persistence Market Research.And the overall market for smart appliances will hit $5.1 billion in 2018, up from $3.2 billion in 2016, according to Statista.com. Household penetration, which currently stands at 14.2%, is expected to reach 28.6% by 2022.

These Charts Happened: 2013 In Climate And Energy Graphs
By Andrew Breiner, Ryan Koronowski, originally published by Climate Progress
From advances in renewable power to the clear impacts of climate change, to denying the lot of it, climate and energy issues in 2013 are sometimes best expressed through graphs. Here are eight of the best from throughout the year:
Global Temperatures Keep Going Up
Temperature change over past 11,300 years (in blue, via Science, 2013) plus projected warming this century on humanity's current emissions path (in red, via recent literature).
The chart above shows how dramatically temperatures have spiked in recent years, largely due to greenhouse gas pollution. The blue line shows global temperature levels over the last 11,300 years, and that spike right at the end shows what "temperature is changing 50 times faster than it did during the time modern civilization and agriculture developed" actually looks like. The red line is the best estimate scientists have for what the temperature is likely to be in the near future if we continue on our current trend. The more greenhouse gases are emitted, the more they trap heat within the atmosphere before it would ordinarily escape to space. That trapped heat is what is fueling much of the climate change in the modern era.
Carbon Dioxide Levels Hit 400ppm For The First Time In Recorded History
CREDIT: World Meteorological Organization
For the first time in recorded history, thanks to rampant burning of fossil fuels, CO2 levels in the atmosphere hit 400 parts per million in May 2013. "I wish it weren't true but it looks like the world is going to blow through the 400 ppm level without losing a beat," said Ralph Keeling, a geologist with the Scripps Institution of Oceanography which operates Hawaii's Mauna Loa observatory. There has been an upward trajectory through the industrial era, as fossil fuel use has accelerated — this leads to catastrophic climate change.
Most Congressional Republicans Denied Climate Change
While 2013 had plenty of climate horrors, perhaps most disappointing is how difficult it's going to be to do something about it through congressional action. Fifty-six percent of House Republicans, 77 percent of the Republican members of the House Science Committee, and 90 percent of the Republican leadership in both houses deny that climate change is real and manmade.
The First Bulk Freighter Passed Through The Arctic, Carrying Coal
Plenty of smaller ships have made the trip through the Northwest Passage in the past, traveling from the west coast of North America, up around Alaska, and through the Arctic Circle for faster passage to Europe. But the Nordic Orion was the first bulk freighter to take advantage of the climate change-caused lack of sea ice to cut four days off its trip.
With the help of the sixth-lowest level of Arctic sea ice on record, the Nordic Orion left Vancouver, British Columbia for Finland with a load of coal, signaling a new era in shipping, brought to you by climate change.
Arctic Sea Ice Volume Still In Jeopardy
NSIDC September Arctic sea ice extent (blue diamonds) with "recovery" years highlighted in red, vs. the long-term sea ice decline fit with a second order polynomial, also in red.
Between 1979 and 2012, Arctic sea ice volume collapsed, from 16,855 cubic kilometers to 3,261 cubic kilometers. In 2013, there was a 50 percent increase from the record low established in 2012. This collapse is several decades ahead of what climate models had once predicted.
The animated graph from Skeptical Science shows two different ways of looking at a trend. Climate deniers like to ignore the larger downward trend of the recorded data and seize upon every naturally varying uptick. Climate scientists see the broader curve pointing steadily downward. It would be great if there was no trend and the ice stayed stable, but that is not what the data shows.
The Price Of Solar Dropped Dramatically
This year saw the price of photovoltaic cells for solar panels continue its dramatic slide downward, reaching $0.74 per watt. That's a 99 percent drop over the last 25 years, bringing solar to near-parity with the rest of the grid. Decades of support from state and federal governments in the U.S. and around the world in the form of R&D, purchases, renewable energy standards, and subsidies played a large role in making such a significant drop possible.
99 Percent of New Electric Capacity In October Came From Renewables
Though fossil fuel is still contributing a huge portion of electricity generation overall, October of 2013 was a great year for new capacity in renewables, most of it coming from solar. The only new fossil fuel capacity that month was five megawatts that came from oil.
Turns Out More Shale Gas Will Not Bring A Major Climate Benefit
More abundant, cheaper shale gas (dark blue) has little impact on annual growth in U.S. CO2 emissions through 2050 compared to low shale gas case (light blue). This is true for all six energy-economy models featured here. Deep cuts in CO2 require a rising carbon price (green).
Many people say that replacing natural gas with coal leads to smaller greenhouse gas emissions. Even ignoring methane leakage, it's very possible that adding more natural gas could replace some combination of coal, renewables, nuclear power, and energy efficiency. Scientists took six energy-economy models to look at the CO2 emissions resulting from a high shale gas case and a low shale gas case.
"The high shale gas scenario is optimistic about both the ultimately recoverable resource base and recovery rates per well, which reduces natural gas production costs," said Climate Progress' Joe Romm. "Yet, averaging over all the models, these optimistic assumptions have little net impact on CO2 growth compared to the more pessimistic low shale gas case."
What really makes for lower carbon emissions is a carbon price (as shown by the deep CO2 cuts in the green bars).

We are thrilled to feature a some of these amazing pieces in true Parkade Party form by re-imagining our urban awesome!
Now that the stage is set – just wait until you hear the spicy entertainment we're announcing next! Stay tuned.


And we long to gaze on it's waters blue"
All around us are little fishes looking for the sea; people living, moving, having their being in an ocean of God's providence, but who can't see the ocean for the water. Maybe it's because we call it by another name. The ancient Hebrews from whom the Bible came were a religious people. They thought in religious patterns, they spoke in religious phrases, they saw in every event the direct activity of God. It rained, it was God who sent the rain. When crops were good, it was God who yielded the increase. But that is not our language, nor our pattern of thought. We think in terms of law - chemical, natural law. When it rains we know that it is a natural conensation of vapor. When crops are good we credit it to the fertilizer. An amazing thing has happened in our way of thinking that leaves no room for Him. So many of our wants are provided by what seems natural and impersonal forces that we have lost sight of the Great Provider in the midst of providence. Some of us who were brought up in the country and then later moved to the city remember how easy it was to get out of the habit of returning thanks at the table, partly because the food on it came not directly from the earth but from the grocery store. A physician in New York City said, "If you ask a child where milk comes from, he won't think of saying 'from a cow' He will say 'From a container'.

Interview with Eric McCready, AgriVision: John Deere Dealer Spotlight
Home Agriculture Interview with Eric McCready, AgriVision: John Deere Dealer Spotlight
The harvesting season is a busy time for John Deere dealers. Store floors become flooded with customers looking for new equipment, parts, service, and additional information that could benefit their operation. If it weren't for these dealerships, and their hard-working employees, our nation's crop producers would likely face a number of insurmountable challenges.
To learn a little bit about the role of John Deere dealerships (and their personnel), during the harvesting season, we've reached out to a few professionals that were kind enough to take some time out of their busy schedules, and share some of their experiences and industry knowledge. Today, we will provide a recap of a conversation we had with Eric McCready, who works as a used equipment manager at the Pacific Junction, IA, AgriVision location. Excerpts from our conversation are as follows:
Q: Can you provide us with a bit of background about yourself as well as AgriVision?
A: "I'm a fifth generation member of the family that started what the company has turned into today back in 1899. When it came time for me to get out of college, I never really thought about doing anything different from working for the family business. The company went through mergers in both 2006 and 2008, and that's where we stand today. I've had numerous roles (used equipment manager, sales manager, and regional manager), so, I've done a little bit of everything but I'm now more focused on the sales side of our business."
Q: What sort of crops are harvested in the Pacific Junction, IA area?
A: "Mostly corn and soybeans. They represent probably 99% of what is harvested out here."
Q: What does your role as used equipment manager consist of on a daily basis?
A: "At my location, six sales guys report directly to me on the ag side and then I work with some of the turf salesmen as well. This time of year, we do a lot support work with the parts and services department because of the harvest and the fact that we've fulfilled most of our duty as salesmen getting the equipment out in the fields. During the harvest we play a big support role in helping to get customers started in the field and we spend a lot of our time updating software for AMS products."
Q: What are some of the biggest challenges and rewards you and your team face?
A: "The biggest challenges seem to all be software-related this time of year. For our team, the harvest season usually progresses along pretty smoothly, outside of breakdowns. As far as rewards, it's just fun to get everything up and going, communicating with the producers and doing ride-alongs just to make sure everything's going well."
Q: What specific actions does your team, and AgriVision as a whole, take to get customers ready for the harvest as it approaches and how do you support them as the season rolls on?
A: "Each of my sales people typically have about 30 accounts, so as planting season and harvesting season nears, we urge our customers to get their inspections taken care of with us. Also, when the harvest begins, we visit our customers in the fields to help them get their equipment started. Usually, a salesman would go along with a technician just to make sure there are no problems and to make sure our customer is totally satisfied with what they were sold."
Q: Does AgriVision run any promotional or community-involved events leading up to harvesting season?
A: "On the parts side, we have a one day event where we offer big discounts on a majority of harvest parts. We also run some "green carpet" events where we showcase some new products."
Q: At your location, do you recognize any specific pieces of harvesting equipment that are "hotter sellers" than others?
A: "In our neighborhood, platforms have become real big, specifically, flex draper platforms. Flex drapers are a lot higher priced compared to traditional platforms so we do a lot of demos with them."
Q: Do you have a personal favorite piece of Deere harvesting equipment?
A: "I like running the combines. That's really neat to me. I'm also fascinated with the emergence of drones. I see a lot of people flying drones while harvesting corn and soybeans, I need to get one of my own."
Q: Do you have a John Deere dealership specific story or anything else you'd like to share with us?
A: "We had a situation where a customer wrecked a head and we weren't his "home" dealership, but he came to us for assistance after his dealer said he would probably have to be down for a couple days (this was unacceptable to him). We were probably about 30 miles further away than his original dealership and we were able to get the head in by noon and back to him by 5 in the evening so he could get back to running beans again. It was all hands on deck, and it ended up being a win for the dealership as this customer now calls us for everything."
Take a look at all of AgriVision's locations, and be sure to stop in next time you're in the area of one of their 13 stores! A special thanks to Eric McCready, for taking the time to shed some behind-the-scenes light on the John Deere dealership business during the harvesting season!

How do you decide which recruitment consultant to use when there are so many?
You currently have no jobs in your shortlist.
Sign in with LinkedIn to save your shortlist even after you leave. This makes applying really easy too.
How do you decide which recruitment consultant to use when there are so many? Surely they all do the same thing and will achieve the same outcome for you, right?
As a prospective candidate, with more and more agents popping up left, right and centre all claiming they do the same thing - how do you decide which consultant you're going to engage with and trust to provide you with information and advice that is relevant to yourself and your individual situation?
That unfortunately, is the million dollar question or at least you'd think so when you see the amount of people complaining about recruitment consultants as a result of bad experiences.
It seems that in many cases, people/prospective candidates are of the opinion that irrelevant of which recruiter they deal with – they'll get the same results because all agents are the same and they simply have a long list of email addresses, pick up your CV, send it out and hope for the best, which I'm sure you can understand is a bit pot luck, as it isn't targeted in any way, shape or form and can't be influenced and in all honesty, you could've done that yourself if you took the time.
Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of consultants that operate in a spray and pray manner but that doesn't mean there aren't consultants who operate in the right way.
Good knowledge and understanding of their market – Who on earth would trust a recruitment consultant of all people to assist them with their career if they can't even hold a conversation with you about your sector or enlighten you on the market place?
Without knowledge of the market/sector, I find it hard to believe that they are able to suggest suitable opportunities or future employers to you.
Relationships with decision makers – Having a director/line managers email address or phone number does not count as having a relationship with them.
Think about it – how many agents do you realistically believe decision makers pay attention too, bearing in mind they receive, in some cases, 100's of calls and emails per day from unrecognized sources?
Communication skills – This is a topic which really does aggravate me, in all honesty. The amount of candidates I've spoken too in the past that've engaged with the recruitment consultant and never heard anything since.
I believe that if you engage with an individual, they deserve to be kept up to date from start to finish - positive or negative; they need and deserve to know of feedback, rejections, positive feedback, interview requests, interview feedback etc.
It's really not hard but then again, without the relationships, how will they be able to gain any of the above for you?
Compassion – Many recruitment consultants find it really hard to sympathise with prospective candidates and sometimes forget that it's not their decision to make whether they make a move, accept an offer, go to an interview, move next month etc. It's their own life; and therefore they're entitled to make their own decisions!
I'm sure most people have all been at a stage in their life where a career decision has to be made and it's not always a straight forward decision. The last thing you need is unnecessary pressure and biased input from a recruitment consultant who has their next pay cheque in mind.
However, after all of this, I do believe there are good recruitment consultants out there who go about things in the right way and can really add value to a candidates search – you just need to establish who these consultants are and avoid engaging with others.
I would personally advise that prospective candidates grill recruitment consultants on their process before engaging with them so that you fully understand who you're working with and how they operate.
You should be looking to find out who they know, what they know about the sector, what they know about the market, the process they are going to follow, why they believe their suggested employers would be suitable for yourself etc. before they give the green light to get started!
I expect that as a result we would see a huge fall in complaints about recruitment consultants because the useless "consultants" would no longer be entertained.

If it doesn't work, maybe it's because that build uses to be very buggy and unstable, so try booting with the 4051 ISO, then insert the 4093 ISO and opean a CMD window. type X:\setup (Where X should be changed to the letter of the CD/DVD drive) and install. Also remember to pre-partition the disk before installing because this build cannot partition disks.
the build 4051 does not want to start the instalation, then I do the same thing with a previous buidl?
For the 4051 issue: Sorry, I forgot which build was the one that boot properly. As for the activation issue: You must set the virtual machine BIOS back to 19/08/04, but most probably you won't be able to set your BIOS back as it will always syncronize with your host. To solve this issue search "How to disable time sync [Name of your hypervisor]" (Hypervisor is like VMWare, VirtualBox, VirtualPC, Hyper-V, etc.).
Note that the Windows betas are well known for allowing installation only in certain amount of time (e.g. from 14/05/2000 until 03/07/2000), that might be why you can't install.
Anyone have anything for Citrix WinFrame 1.8?
Here are some serials I found on the internet. There are a lot of 9x ones. Plenty to choose from so don't always use the first one. Also if one doesn't work let me know so I can remove it.
DDTPV-TXMX7-BBGJ9-WGY8K-B9GHM Works fine with Win 2000. Thank you.
I think this key should be added to the Adobe PhotoShop 5.0 page.
My own Windows 2000 Professional RTM key. It's from the commemorative edition, and if it's like Windows 95 and Windows 7's special editions, it's equivalent to a retail product key.
