So, as much as I previously extolled the virtues of having a complete diet and not taking a multi, I've recently (past 3 weeks or so) experimented with adding a half-dosage of a very high-concentration multivitamin to my diet. This multi is made locally, and I personally have met the opthamologist responsible for the multi (he specifically targets certain nutrients that he feels are beneficial to eye health).
He's been a sponsor of our local strongman events, which is why I had the multis around. Truly this, and the fact that I personally know how this guy sources the components of this vitamin, were the only reasons why I decided to undergo this experiment. Just my disclaimer that I am not taking a multivitamin that targets eye health because I'm having issues with my eyes, I'm not. They were just what I had on hand that I could trust the production of.
So far, binge tendencies (my main crux to weight loss) have been averted. Additionally, I've found my energy levels are fairly stable... which I find particularly odd simply because I'm keto-cyclic right now (5 days VLC, 2 days high carb) and normally I find this completely taps my energy for a few hours (8-hours to a whole day) during the transitional periods (when I switch to high carb and vice-versa).
So, as much as we like to have a complete diet, should the Paleosphere in-general revisit perceptions/stances on multivitamins?
I personally will continue to take them, even if only a half-dosage daily. The results I'm experiencing could be placebo, or results of other positive changes (a bit more exercise, sunlight, or my standing desk conversion), but I'm not ready to drop the multis to find out.
I don't know about woman-vitamins, but most of the multis aimed at men have extremely high levels of B-vitamins, most expressly B12 and B6, which both are very high in energy drinks (for good reason). Additionally many of them have Horny Goat Weed and Tribulus as well which might have something to do with it.
My one and only experience with "binge" eating (I mean binge as in out of control, not just run of the mill gluttony) came after I went practically zero carb for ten days (meat, organs, eggs, spices). I was doing this to start from scratch and determine what food allergies I might have. On the tenth day, a greed demon took over my body and I just went absolutely nuts and couldn't stop shoveling food in my mouth. At the end, I felt sick and really unsettled by the event. I never get this way, especially not on my regular paleo diet (around 75 - 125 carbs per day) and I haven't experienced it since.
But, from that solitary experience, I have a completely different view on cravings and binge eating. I know that binging is psychological for a lot of people, but I think there is a really strong dietary component. My body was literally screaming out for something else (I mean no disrespect to the VLC crowd - it was just NOT for me). Since then, I have been more aware of the "cravings" I get and have noticed it is always tied to inadequate nutrition (I don't mean "gee, pizza sounds good" I mean cravings like "if I don't get an apple, planes will fall out of the sky").
I am not always able to perfectly calibrate my nutritional needs, so I want to look at the multi like an insurance plan that I can use at will. I won't always take it, but I will when I need an extra boost or when I know I am eating imperfectly (and I avoid it for the day or two after eating liver). As a weird aside, I just took my boyfriend's multivitamin for men (whatever that means) and I am experiencing an insane rush from it. I haven't experienced this with a regular vitamin or a lady vitamin... maybe I am low on man-vitamins?
Anyway, sorry for the rambling answer. I think that you should continue supplementing so long as you get a positive result and especially if it is curbing your cravings. My boyfriend swears these vitamins give him more energy, eradicates cravings, and increases his focus. That can't be bad!

The Indian Branch Railway Company was formed in 1862 to build short branch and feeder lines. It received no guarantee but was offered a 20-year subsidy. In the 1850s, it secured a guaranteed return.

In 1863, it built the  wide narrow gauge railway line between Azimganj and Nalhati. The Azimgan–Nalhati line was taken over by the Government in 1872, as Nalhati State Railway. In 1867, it opened the  wide metre gauge Kanpur–Lucknow branch line.

It established a railway workshop at Alambagh in 1865 and another at Charbagh in 1867.

Around 1872, it was merged into Oudh and Rohilkhand Railway. Oudh and Rohilkhand Railway was subsequently merged with East Indian Railway Company in 1925.

Rated 4 out of 5 by JWH1 from Had to return due to sizing These shoes were really cool but they are not sized like Pumas in the past. I used to wear an 11.5-12 in Puma and Nike and an 11 in Adidas. The 11.5 I ordered in this Puma was way too big so I had to return them. So The take-away is that Pumas are now sized similarly to Adidas.

Called to Teach!
Nehemiah (Miah) Tagaloa was living comfortably in the world of finance and insurance when the call to train as a teacher became too loud to ignore. He was involved in his church's children's ministry and doing volunteer mentoring with troubled youth through Turn Your Life Around (TYLA) and the Avondale Police. At the same time he was loving the money and the lifestyle, but the calling got louder. When he was younger he had always thought he would either become a teacher or a Police officer. The door closed on joining the Police when he was diagnosed with arthritis at 24. He was encouraged to apply to Laidlaw by a friend of his who had graduated with a Laidlaw teaching degree.
Three years on, Miah has enjoyed the learning experience and has felt in his element when out on teaching practicum.
"I love the relational aspect that Laidlaw brings to the teaching programme. The lecturers are passionate and will go out of their way to help you. The classes are small, so you become pretty tight knit - helping and supporting each other through the ups and downs of study, and towards the final goal of getting our degree. Another upside was after working in the CBD concrete jungle for over a decade it was great not having to pay for parking at the Henderson campus!"
Miah graduates with a Bachelor of Teaching (Primary) on 10 December. He is excited about starting his teaching career next year with Year 3-4 children at West Harbour School in West Auckland. His dream is not simply to teach children but to connect with parents and instil in them the importance of their involvement at home in education.
Miah's married to Claire and they have a son Levi, and daughter Evangeline. In his spare time he's the man at watching sport – give him a remote and a chair and he's happy!

This Artist Is Making over $25,000 Per Song
Last Tuesday, Amanda Palmer launched her Patreon. You can read what I wrote about her and the launch here. For those of you new to the Patreon model, it's now time to pay attention and understand how this is CHANGING the music industry as we know it. There are currently over 12,000 active creators (those actually making money) with 225,000 patrons giving over $2 million every month directly to these creators. Patreon keeps only 5%.
+Patreon Just Solved YouTube… And Music
This model is incredibly difficult for traditionalists to comprehend. It flies in the face of everything we, as a capitalistic, society understand to be true. It breaks all the 'music business' rules we have come to know (and love?).
But the thing is, this new, crazy model, is working.
Ok, let's step back. What is Patreon? Because I know many of you reading this right now still have no idea. It was started by Jack Conte, 1/2 of the band Pomplamoose. Pomplamoose gained their fame (and pretty darn big fanbase) from YouTube. Not just one viral video (however their Single Ladies hit definitely helped). For years, they have released high quality, consistent music videos every couple weeks or so. Most of the videos are unique takes on hit songs. Covers, if you will. Because of YouTube's notoriously low payouts (45% of ad revenue), the revenue from their videos (surpassing 100 million views) wasn't generating sustainable income. They knew they had fans who wanted to support them more than just buying a song on iTunes. But there was no model in place to enable these fans to give them more money for creating content they were getting value from.
So Conte created Patreon. Patreon is an ongoing, crowdfunding platform. Instead of raising a bulk amount of money via pre-orders like the Kickstarter or PledgeMusic model, patrons on Patreon give a certain amount per piece of content or per month. Ongoing. Creators from podcasters, to videographers, to bloggers to musicians are successfully earning from Patreon. Currently, $2 million a month.
To be clear this is not a paywall or a pre-order. "Patrons" are literally paying creators for stuff that is free and available. Yes, some of the higher levels can unlock exclusives, but the foundation of this platform is not a transactional hub. You're scratching your head right now and mumbling, "why would people pay for something that is free?!" Exactly. It doesn't make sense conceptually. But you're forgetting the main reason this model works: the connection.
The artists who build connections, relationships and trust with their fans are the ones who succeed with this model. The artists who consistently put out quality content and welcome their fans into the process succeed with this model. The artists who offer mutual respect with their fans succeed with Patreon. The artists who distance themselves from their fans via handlers, publicists, labels, tour managers and others to maintain mystique and elusiveness will not succeed with this model.
To get a song on iTunes it takes going through a digital distributor (or aggregator) like CD Baby, DistroKid, TuneCore, Loudr, The Orchard or InGrooves. These services either charge a setup fee or take a commission (or both). iTunes then takes their 30% commission. And at the end of the day, very little data is ever given to the artist – other than the number of downloads. BandCamp is a little better taking only 10-15% commission (depending on the volume your store sells) and gives the artists the buyer's email along with location data. BTW, Jamvana does not do this at all. We help you, not take from. Back to reading…..
Streaming revenue from Spotify, Rdio, Beats, Google Play is growing, but hasn't made up for the loss in sales revenue for mid level artists. It will. But it's not there yet. So in the meantime, independent artists need to get creative in the ways they earn a living from their music. The traditional methods of touring and selling t-shirts is fine for some and is still going as strong as ever.
But what about the artists that aren't living on the road? Where is their income going to come from? Well, Patreon is an option.
Patreon is still in its infancy. There's still much to be desired. Like a place where fans can go to connect with other patrons. Like forums or chat rooms. Creators should be able to interact with their patrons in a more organized way. Right now the current "Activity stream" is pretty disjointed, confusing and outright messy. But they're working on this.
Patreon could be the new fan club for artists. Pledge $1 or $5 a month to an artist and you get all music, videos, blogs and other digital artwork, but also get exclusives like B sides, acoustic versions and unreleased demos. Fans crave this kind of content. And artists should use a fan club style platform to give it to them.
A Nielsen study from 2013 revealed that fans would spend up to $2.6 BILLION more a year for exclusive content and behind the scenes access. BandPage is cashing in on this and is building up the live, VIP experiences. Patreon could as well if they structure the site to be the artist-fan connection hub it's meant to be.
It's only just begun.

Yvonne De Carlo was born on September 01, 1922 in Vancouver, Canada, American, is Actress. Yvonne De Carlo was a Canadian born American actress, singer, and dancer whose career spanned more than seven decades. A brunette with blue-grey eyes, voluptuous figure, and a deep sultry voice, she was one of most recognizable stars in the golden age of Hollywood and an early multihyphenate. She began taking dancing lessons at the age of three and spent her late teens performing in various night clubs and on stage. She made her screen debut in 1941 in an uncredited role in the comedy film 'Harvard, Here I Come'. After appearing in several other movies in the same capacity, she played the titular character in the 1945 western drama 'Salome, Where She Danced'. Her next important role was in 'Song of Scheherazade' in 1947, which though gave traction to her career, ended up typecasting her as an Arabian Nights-type temptress dressed in harem attire. Despite this stereotyping, she did significant work in comedy and western genres, and was part of the main cast of the 1960s sitcom 'The Munsters'. In 1957, she released her first and only album 'Yvonne De Carlo Sings'. As she aged, she made a relatively easy transformation to being a character actor, active and compelling well into her 70s. De Carlo received two separate stars in 1960 on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for her contribution to films and television.

Famous Quotes:
"Miss De Carlo has an agreeable mezzo-soprano singing voice, all the 'looks' one girl could ask for, and, moreover, she dances with a sensuousness which must have caused the Hays office some anguish. The script, however, does not give her much chance to prove her acting talents."
De Carlo was born Margaret Yvonne Middleton on September 1, 1922, at St. Paul's Hospital in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Her nickname was "Peggy" because she was named after the silent film star Baby Peggy. Her mother, Marie De Carlo (August 28, 1903 – December 19, 1993), was born in France to a Sicilian Father and a Scottish mother. Marie, a "wayward and rebellious" teenager, had aspired to become a Dancer and worked as a milliner's apprentice until she met Peggy's Father, william Shelto Middleton, a salesman from New Zealand with "piercing eyes of pale blue, and a wealth of straight black hair." Marie and william had married in Alberta, where they lived for a couple of months before returning to Vancouver. They moved in with Marie's parents, but the marriage was troubled. Peggy had only two memories of her father: climbing up to his knee and crawling towards his feet. By the time Peggy was three, william was involved in various swindles and fled Canada aboard a schooner, promising to send for his wife and child. Marie and Peggy never heard from him again; rumors said that he remarried twice and had more children, worked as an actor in silent films, or died aboard a ship. Peggy later wrote, "My own assumption is that he died before he had the chance to discover that his Baby Peggy had become a Hollywood Actress, or I think he would have tried to contact me."
De Carlo and her mother made several trips to Los Angeles. In 1940, she won second place in the Miss Venice beauty contest. She also came in fifth in a 1940s Miss California competition. At the Miss Venice contest, she was noticed by a booking agent who told her to audition for an opening in the chorus line at the Earl Carroll Theatre on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood. De Carlo and her mother arrived at Earl Carroll's for the audition, but after learning that Carroll would have to examine her "upper assets" before hiring her, De Carlo and her mother searched for work at another popular Hollywood nightclub, the Florentine Gardens. They met Nils Granlund, the proprietor of the Florentine Gardens, who introduced De Carlo to the audience before she tap danced to "Tea for Two". Granlund then asked, "Well, folks . . . is she in or out?" The audience responded with "a rousing round of applause, with whistles and cheers," and De Carlo got the job. She started in the back of the chorus line, but after months of practice and hard work, Granlund featured her in a "King Kong number." In it, she danced and cast off several chiffon veils before being carried away by a gorilla. She was given more solo routines and also appeared in her first soundie. She had been dancing at the Florentine Gardens only a few months when she was arrested by immigration officials and deported to Canada in late 1940. In January 1941, Granlund sent a telegram to immigration officials pledging his sponsorship of De Carlo in the U.S., and affirmed his offer of steady employment, both requirements to reenter the country.
In December 1941, she was dancing in the revue Glamour Over Hollywood at Florentine Gardens. America's entry into World War Two saw De Carlo and other Florentine Dancers busy entertaining troops at USO shows.
Her scenes in Lucky Jordan (1942) were deleted but she had a small role in For Whom the Bell Tolls (1943). She could also be seen in Let's Face It (1943), So Proudly We Hail! (1943) and Salute for Three (1943), She was also kept busy in small roles and helping other actors shoot tests. "I was the test queen at Paramount," she said later. But De Carlo was ambitious and wanted more. "I'm not going to be just one of the girls," she said.
Paramount loaned her out to Republic again for the part of Wah-Tah, the young Native American maiden, in the Deerslayer (1943), an adaptation of the 1841 novel by James Fenimore Cooper. An important supporting role, it was her first credited appearance in a feature film. She returned to Paramount for an unbilled bit in True to Life (1943) and Standing Room Only (1944). De Carlo was billed in a short, Fun Time (1944) and went to MGM to play another "native" part (unbilled) in Kismet (1944).
Wanger tested De Carlo several times and Universal signed her to a long term contract at $150 a week. In September 1944, it was announced De Carlo was cast in the lead of Salome over a reported 20,000 other young women.
De Carlo was screen tested by Universal, who were looking at a back up star for Acquanetta, who was their back up star to Maria Montez. The test was seen by Walter Wanger who was making an adventure film in technicolor, Salome, Where She Danced (1945). Wanger would later claim he discovered De Carlo when looking at footage for another actor in which De Carlo also happened to appear (Milburn Stone).
Salome, Where She Danced was released by Universal who signed de Carlo to a long-term contract. She was used by the studio as a backup star to Maria Montez, and her second movie for the studio saw her step into a role rejected by Montez: the Western Frontier Gal (1946) alongside Rod Cameron. In 1946, exhibitors voted De Carlo the ninth-most promising "star of tomorrow." Like Salome, it was shot in Technicolor.
De Carlo's name was linked with a number of famous men through her career, including Howard Hughes, and Robert Stack. In 1947, she announced her engagement to actor Howard Duff, her co-star in Brute Force (1947) and Calamity Jane and Sam Bass (1949), but they never married. She was engaged three more times—to American stuntman Jock Mahoney, English Photographer Cornel Lucas, and Scottish actor Richard Urquhart—but felt "trapped" whenever she looked at the engagement ring on her finger. While engaged to Mahoney, De Carlo became pregnant and also discovered she had a large ovarian cyst. The tumor was surgically removed and, as a result, she lost the baby. Her relationship with Mahoney ended when De Carlo found out he was seeing another woman, Actress Margaret Field.
She romanced Tony Martin in Casbah (1948), a musical remake of Algiers (1938) made for Martin's own production company but released through Universal. De Carlo was reluctant to be in it because, although she would receive top billing over Martin, she was not given the female lead—that part went to Swedish newcomer Märta Torén—but studio head william Goetz insisted. De Carlo played Inez, the role played by Sigrid Gurie in the 1938 version, and sang the film's song "For Every Man There's a Woman", which was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song. It flopped at the box office, de Carlo's first flop since becoming a star.
De Carlo was keen to make more movies along this line but Universal put her back in Technicolor Westerns with Calamity Jane and Sam Bass (1949), playing Calamity Jane, directed by Sherman, alongside Howard Duff.
In 1950, De Carlo purchased an eleven-room ranch house on five-and-a-half acres of "hilly woodland" on Coldwater Canyon Drive in Studio City, Los Angeles, above Beverly Hills. De Carlo described it as her "dream home" and hired an Architect to help her design "an English-style dining room, with paneling and stained-glass windows." She also built stables for her horses and a large swimming pool. She sold the property in 1975.
In August 1951, De Carlo became the first American film star to visit the State of Israel, giving concerts in Haifa, Ramat Gan, Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and Jaffa. She drew capacity audiences and was "royally received" by the Israeli government and the public. Her performances consisted of singing and dancing routines from her films. Furthermore, she found that her films were extremely popular there, saying, "Every time I played a concert, someone would yell, 'Sing something from Casbah.'" About the warm reception she received in Israel, she told columnist Louella Parsons:
She went back to Universal for the first movie under her new contract, Scarlet Angel (1952) with Rock Hudson. At Paramount she did Hurricane Smith (1952) then she appeared in "Madame 44" for The Ford Television Theatre (1952). She announced plans to form her own production company with her agent, Vancouver Productions. However, as she later wrote "absolutely nothing" came of this.
She made her third film in Britain with the comedy The Captain's Paradise (1953), as one of two wives a ship captain (played by Alec Guinness) keeps in separate ports. De Carlo played Nita, the sensual wife who lives in Morocco, while Celia Johnson played Maud, the demure wife who lives in Gibraltar. The film was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Story, and The New York Times critic Bosley Crowther commended her performance by writing, "And Miss De Carlo, as the siren, 'the mate of the tiger' in Mr. G. [Guinness], is wonderfully candid and suggestive of the hausfrau in every dame."
She fell in love with stuntman Bob Morgan while visiting the filming of The Ten Commandments in Egypt in 1954. They married in 1955, and their first son, Bruce, was born in 1956. DeMille became Bruce's godfather. Her second pregnancy meant she had to turn down the role of the female pirate DeMille had given her in his next production, The Buccaneer (1958).
De Carlo met stuntman Robert Drew "Bob" Morgan (1915–1999) on the set of Shotgun in 1955, but he was married and had a child, daughter Bari Lee (b. 1947), and De Carlo had "no intention of causing that marriage to break up." However, they met again, after the death of Morgan's wife, on the set of The Ten Commandments in Egypt, where they "seemed immediately attracted to each other." They were married on November 21, 1955, at St. Stephen's Episcopal Church in Reno, Nevada. De Carlo raised Bari as her own and had two sons with Morgan, Bruce Ross (b. 1956), whose godfather was Cecil B. DeMille, and Michael (1957–1997).
It was announced she would team with Vittorio De Sica in an adaptation of The Baker's Wife to be shot in English and Italian but the film was never made. Instead De Carlo co-starred with George Sanders and Zsa Zsa Gabor in Death of a Scoundrel (1956). The New York Times commended her performance as Bridget Kelly: "Yvonne De Carlo does a solid and professional job as the adoring petty thief who rises to eminence with him [Sanders' character]." On the small screen she was in "Skits & Sketches" for Shower of Stars (1957). She was also in Schlitz Playhouse (1957)
De Carlo released an LP record of standards called Yvonne De Carlo Sings on Masterseal Records, a subsidiary label of Remington Records, in 1957. Orchestrated by Future film Composer John Williams under the pseudonym "John Towner," the album contains ten tracks, "End of a Love Affair", "In the Blue of Evening", "I Got It Bad (and That Ain't Good)", "Am I Blue?", "Little Girl Blue", "Blue Moon", "But Not for Me", "My Blue Heaven", "Mood Indigo", "One for My Baby (and One More for the Road)".
In May 1958, De Carlo was signed to play Mary Magdalene in the Italian biblical epic The Sword and the Cross (tentatively titled The Great Sinner and released in the United States as Mary Magdalene), with Jorge Mistral as her love interest, the Roman Gaius Marcellus, and Rossana Podestà as her sister, Martha. The film's Director, Carlo Ludovico Bragaglia, later remembered that "producer, Ottavio Poggi, had sent the provisional script to America, so Yvonne De Carlo could read it and decide on her participation in the film. She read it and got very excited, agreeing to play the role of Magdalene." The film was shot in English and later dubbed in Italian.
De Carlo put together a nightclub act and toured with in South America. She guest starred on Bonanza ("A Rose for Lotta", 1959), Adventures in Paradise ("Isle of Eden", 1960), Death Valley Days ("The Lady Was an M.D", 1961), Follow the Sun ("The Longest Crap Game in History" [1961] and "Annie Beeler's Place" [1962]) and Burke's Law ("Who Killed Beau Sparrow?", 1963). She also played Destry Rides Again in summer stock.
Butch Patrick, who played Herman and Lily Munster's son, Eddie. The on- and off-screen chemistry of De Carlo and Patrick was a success story of 1960s television. After the show's cancelation, like everybody else (in the cast), he also distanced himself from her, to form his own rock band Eddie and The Munsters, years before he either kept in touch or have visited her, during De Carlo's final years, who also said in a 2013 interview with Rockcellar magazine: "Yvonne would be a maternal influence. She'd be a mom because my mom wasn't around so she'd be a matriarch, not only on the show but when I'd see her outside of the makeup on Mondays and Tuesdays. Once in a while she'd bring her kids down to the set." Then, in a 2017 interview with ComingSoon.net, he also said about the Director, who had ever recalled if his TV mother was hiding tiny portions of dialogue, around the set, attaching to props to help jog her memory, where it was added to her performance: "No, not in The Munsters she wasn't doing that. Maybe later in life. Because sometimes your memory starts slipping on you. But that's a great idea, actually! I'll have to remember that!" He also had said if he had ever kept in touch with his on-screen family, after The Munsters was canceled, esp. DeCarlo herself, was: "No, after the show ended, everyone went their own ways. But in the early '80s, I contacted Al Lewis and we became friends and I started attaching myself to the Munster name and brand. And then 10 years after that I started talking to Yvonne. I was actually a guest on The Vicki Lawrence Show where I was this surprise guest brought out for Yvonne and after that we became friends. I started going up and visiting her and she was somewhat of a recluse, living in North Los Angeles and I introduced her to this guy in Hollywood who would send her care packages, movies to watch and sort of get her back in the loop of Hollywood."
Morgan lost his left leg after being run over by a train while filming How the West Was Won (1962). However, his contract with MGM assumed no responsibility for the accident. De Carlo and Morgan filed a $1.4 million lawsuit against the studio, claiming her husband was permanently disabled. They divorced in July 1973.
To help out, John Wayne offered her the supporting role of Louise Warren, the title character's cook in McLintock! (1963), with Wayne and Maureen O'Hara. She was second billed in a Western Law of the Lawless (1964) and played the Spanish Dancer Dolores in the Bob Hope comedy A Global Affair (1964).
She was in debt by 1964 when she signed a contract with Universal Studios to perform the female lead role in The Munsters opposite Fred Gwynne. She was also the producers' choice to play Lily Munster when Joan Marshall, who played the character (originally called "Phoebe"), was dropped from consideration for the role. When De Carlo was asked how a glamorous Actress could succeed as a ghoulish matriarch of a haunted house, she replied simply, "I follow the directions I received on the first day of shooting: 'Play her just like Donna Reed.'" She sang and played the harp in at least one episode ("Far Out Munsters") of The Munsters.
After the show's cancellation, she reprised the role as Lily Munster in the Technicolor film Munster, Go Home! (1966), partially in hopes of renewing interest in the sitcom. Despite the attempt, The Munsters was cancelled after 70 episodes. Of the sitcom and its cast and crew, she said: "It was a happy show with audience appeal for both children and adults. It was a happy show behind the scenes, too; we all enjoy working with each other." Years later, in 1987, she said: "I think Yvonne De Carlo was more famous than Lily, but I gained the younger audience through The Munsters. And it was a steady job."
After 1967, De Carlo became increasingly active in musicals, appearing in off-Broadway productions of Pal Joey and Catch Me If You Can. In early 1968 she joined Donald O'Connor in a 15-week run of Little Me staged between Lake Tahoe and Las Vegas and she did a five-month tour in Hello Dolly. Later she toured in Cactus Flower.
De Carlo continued to appear in films such as The Delta Factor (1970) and had a notable part in Russ Meyer's The Seven Minutes (1971). The Los Angeles Times said about the latter that De Carlo featured in "an improbable sequence pulled off with verve by the still glamorous star."
Her defining stage role was as "Carlotta Campion" in Harold Prince's production of the Stephen Sondheim musical Follies in 1971-72. Playing a washed-up star at a reunion of old theater colleagues, she introduced the song "I'm Still Here". De Carlo says she was told the part was written especially for her.
In October 1972, De Carlo arrived in Australia to replace Cyd Charisse in Michael Edgley's production of No, No, Nanette. Her opening night was on November 6, 1972 at Her Majesty's Theatre in Melbourne. The show moved on to Adelaide, Sydney, and then to several New Zealand cities. It closed in the fall of 1973, and De Carlo returned to the United States.
In late 1973 and early 1974, she starred in a production of Ben Bagley's Decline and Fall of the Entire World as Seen Through the Eyes of Cole Porter in San Diego.
De Carlo appeared in The Girl on the Late, Late Show (1974), The Mark of Zorro (1974), Arizona Slim (1974), The Intruder (1975), Blazing Stewardesses (1975), It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time (1975), Black Fire (1975), and La casa de las sombras (1976).
In May 1975, she starred in the San Bernardino Civic Light Opera's production of Applause at the California Theatre of the Performing Arts. The San Bernardino Sun described her performance as "brilliant" and wrote, "a packed house watched Yvonne De Carlo give a new dimension to Margo Channing, a part she was playing for the first time, but nonetheless, a part she was very well suited for."
De Carlo, a naturalized citizen of the United States, was an active Republican who campaigned for Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, and Gerald Ford. A conservative, she stated in a 1976 television interview: "I'm all for men and I think they ought to stay up there and be the bosses and have women wait on them hand and foot and put their slippers on and hand them the pipe and serve seven course meals, as long as they open the door, support the woman, and do their duty in the bedroom, etcetera."
She had a role in the mini series Roots (1977) and was also seen on Satan's Cheerleaders (1977), Nocturna (1979), Guyana: Cult of the Damned (1979), Fuego negro (1979), The Silent Scream (1979) and The Man with Bogart's Face (1980). She guest starred on shows like Fantasy Island.
In 1981, she moved to a ranch in the Santa Ynez Valley, near Solvang, California.
Marie wanted her daughter to have a career in show Business and made sure Peggy received the necessary singing and dancing lessons. Peggy joined the choir of St. Paul's Anglican Church to strengthen her voice, and when she was ten (or three, according to a 1982 interview), her mother enrolled her in the June Roper School of the Dance in Vancouver. In May 1939, a Variety news item listed "Yvonne de Carlo" as one of the performers at the opening of Hy Singer's Palomar ballroom (also known as Palomar Supper Club) in Vancouver.
De Carlo's later films included American Gothic (1988), for which she won the Best Actress Award from International Science Fiction and Fantasy Film Show (Fantafestival); Cellar Dweller (1988); and Mirror Mirror (1990). She had a supporting role as the title character's Aunt Rosa in the Sylvester Stallone comedy Oscar (1991). Aunt Rosa is present when Oscar's Father, played by Kirk Douglas, extracts "a deathbed promise" from his son. Of her role, De Carlo said, "Mine is a small part—but funny."
She was in The Naked Truth (1992), Seasons of the Heart (1993), and "Death of Some Salesmen" in Tales from the Crypt (1993). She had a small cameo role in Here Come the Munsters, a 1995 television film remake of The Munsters. De Carlo, along with Al Lewis, Pat Priest, and Butch Patrick, did not have to wear costumes "because the Munsters have several lives." Her final performance was as Norma, "an eccentric Norma Desmond lookalike," in the 1995 television film The Barefoot Executive, a Disney Channel remake of the 1971 film of the same title. Norma, a former stand-in for film actors, "monkey-sits" the title character, a chimpanzee named Archie who is able to predict top-rated television series. "She has these outrageous costumes—six of them—and it's just a small part," De Carlo told Los Angeles Times. "But I like to do small things now." In 2007, her son Bruce revealed that, before her death, she played supporting roles in two independent films that have yet to be released.
De Carlo suffered a minor stroke in 1998. She later became a resident of the Motion Picture & Television Country House and Hospital, in Woodland Hills, where she spent her last years. She died from heart failure on January 8, 2007, and was cremated.

Freezing Trip Across the Border
If They Had Known Then...
By Ken Nicholson
Johnnie Hoskins
...what they know now, they would have left things alone. David Pickles's warning about the impact of fixed race nights on Rye House was prophetic because the club has folded and we are left with a first division of only seven teams (something unseen for 60 years). This is hardly a league when over half the teams go head-to-head in a title race-off. While most people have been scratching their heads over the logic behind introducing fixed race nights and a points-limit rule that prohibits many of the top stars from competing, Rye House's problems seem to have been caused solely by a move to mid-week racing. This raises the question about why it was so disastrous.
Speedway has always been promoted as a family-friendly entertainment, which it surely can be. Yet look around the terraces and they are not teeming with children. While there is an obvious conflict of priorities in term-time, I suspect the reason has more to do with costs. A family can say goodbye to £50+ (travel, admission and car parking) just to get in. Add refreshments to that (thanks to bizarre rules about not taking food and drink into some stadiums) and we are talking about a special treat rather than a regular weekday night out.
Around 20 years ago, I usually visited three tracks (Swindon, Reading and Oxford). Some people could be seen at more than one, and some at all three. Entrance costs then increased, precluding this and triggering a case where the customer base decreased faster than the prices went up. As an example of speedway's hyperinflation, I paid 50p to get into Canterbury speedway in 1975 and 10p for a programme. 50p then was about the cost of a packet of cigarettes, 2 pints of beer or a gallon of petrol. None of these has increased as much as entrance prices, despite them all having attracted taxes to make them less desirable. So, is it any wonder the terraces are empty, especially midweek? With entrance costs around £6 or £7 pounds (50p in 1975 terms), most people would be forgiving if a meeting was curtailed or the racing proved dire. That is not true at three times the price. So at best, anyone other than diehard fans pick and choose their meetings.
Things have changed over the years. Foreign travel is now relatively cheap, meaning European based riders can jet in and out easily. This has not improved the standard of racing (or the riders in Britain) or the level of entertainment. It has just given promoters more scope to juggle teams so they fit in with agreed points limits. Now, lay-down engines are used throughout. While they may potentially perform better than the old uprights, they have proved to be unpredictable in less than perfect conditions. We have watched even the best riders in the world come to grief (some disastrously so), after 'picking up unexpected grip'. This unpredictability has led to a significant increase in the number of rain-offs, some even based on just a threat of inclement weather, which is not what the spectators, television companies or speedway promoters want.
Speedway bikes are much more technical than they once were and the costs to maintain them have grown dramatically. Almost an infinite number of tweaks to the bike can be made to improve performance, making the bike nearly as important as the rider. In turn, this has introduced delays while riders chase the right set-up. Speedway used to be a fast succession of races. There were typically 19 of these in a meeting (including a second half), with time left over for a parade and an interval. All of this was done usually within 2 hours. At Canterbury, Johnnie Hoskins was constantly at war with the council and had a strict time limit that he knew he dare not exceed. He would be on the centre green waving the riders to get a move on and never once was the curfew breached or a meeting curtailed. Johnnie knew the spectators wanted to be entertained and get their money's worth, and that is what happened. Now, it seems impossible to complete 15 races in 2 hours. Instead, spectators are forced to watch endless track grades and are expected to be understanding when a meeting (of only 15 races) has to be cut short because it has over-run.
To compound speedway's woes, the powers that be decided on end of season play-offs. While it can make sensational TV viewing over a couple of meetings, the downside is an annual cramming of fixtures before the cut-off date and a premature end to the season for some clubs. If a family finds it a stretch to find £50+ for one meeting, then they are not going to attend two or three meetings in the same week or pay more for a double-header.
Matt Ford has been voicing doubts about his future at Poole. Much of what he has said makes sense, in that speedway can only afford to provide a product that is commercially viable. This depends on turnstiles clicking and, more than ever these days, sponsorship deals. He has also stressed the difficulties in attracting sponsors. Sponsorship has to be beneficial to both parties. In the case of the sponsor, the benefits include cheap advertising. Some riders know this only too well. How many times have we seen them flashing their sponsors' names on their sleeves or sipping at a certain energy drink when being interviewed on TV? By contrast, the BSPA appears far less savvy. The National League sponsor and a mention of BT Sport apart, there don't appear to be any adverts or sponsors' names on their home page. Their website is updated regularly with results and team news, which is good news for existing fans. However, it is sadly lacking elsewhere. As an example, the basic rules include extinct double-point substitutions, and for reasons that completely escape me, there is a section on the 'sponsored migrants policy' and a link to the Home Office website! If I were a newcomer to speedway, I would to know the location of my nearest track and how much it would cost to get in. That seems to be missing, however.
Despite the online news updates, BSPA does not appear to court the media. It seems they rely on the media contacting them rather than vice versa. Consequently, speedway is seldom seen in the national press these days, while match results have disappeared from our TV screens. BBC West Midlands do provide live radio broadcasts that are available on i-player, however, so there is some interest out there. Sponsors need exposure to justify a financial commitment and since that exposure is virtually non-existent, it is no wonder it is hard to attract them.
Matt Ford has also suggested that speedway might need to return to being semi-professional. The sad truth is that it has never been much else. Unpaid volunteers help out at most clubs, be it with routine jobs or in raising money for their team. So where did it go wrong? I think the crunch point might have been when the Elite League was formed in 1997. I suspect the gamble was to follow the football Premiership model, in that the world's best would be assembled and this would draw big crowds and attract significant income from TV rights. Certainly, the best were assembled that year, but it soon became apparent it was unaffordable. The problem is that speedway does not have the universal interest football attracts. While I have seen British speedway televised overseas, it is always as a minor sport. On the other hand, British football teams such as Manchester United and Arsenal are household names in pretty much every country in the world. Rather than give up on the dream, however, the powers that be diluted the strength of teams to make them more affordable and put entrance costs up. Thus followed the vicious cycle of inflation and falling attendances.
Mistakes made twenty years ago can be forgiven. What is not acceptable is the pretence that everything has been hunky dory and that a few tweaks to the rules would put everything right. Like Matt Ford said, it is time for speedway to reinvent itself. Something a lot of us have been saying for over 15 years.

Jim Henry:
"I found Ken's article interesting and I agree that speedway needs to market itself a bit better. I'm not sure if newspaper advertising is the answer, especially in the sports pages. It needs to seek potential supporters who are not into other forms of sport.
Maybe BSPA needs to consider a UK wide campaign promoting the exiting elements, its family / supporter friendliness, rider approachability. Speedway needs to get a good and informative "roadshow" to take round town centres in areas within reasonable travelling distances of speedway stadia.
Maybe it needs to get a skilled wordsmith to write up articles to send out free of charge to a whole range of family orientated publications extoling the virtues of speedway. (eg Womens's magazines, kids comics, company inhouse magazines, biker magazines.) with a spin tailored to the publication.
What about a central BSPA agency pulling together a weekly / monthly DVD with the best races of the period and giving these free of charge to local TV stations / network stations (obviously this needs to encourage folks to watch the regular events shown by BT and not cut across it).
What about handing out fliers which require contact details (email addresses etc) which, if handed in at the turnstile at any track after payment of admission, is entered into a raffle for (say) admission cost cash prizes to be handed out by the meeting presenter after (say) the penultimate heat. I'm sure speedway fans can come up with other ideas to promote the sport and it might be interesting what these ideas are!! "
Martin Wilkins:
"What Speedway needs is from somone outside the sport to take a good look at it, grab it by the scruff of the neck and say 'This is what needs to be done'. The basic product has always been good, the sport just needs kicking up the backside. "
Jim Kennedy:
"Good article IMO. Sums the sport up."

10 Little Rubber Ducks
by Eric Carle
10 Little Rubber Ducks is one of our favorite Eric Carle books, partially due to the colorful, perky illustrations and partially due to the fact that the story is based on an actual cargo ship accident that set 29,000 plastic ducks, turtles and frogs adrift in the ocean.Eric Carle's version scales the spill down to a more 'manageable' ten duckies adrift. 10 Little Rubber Ducks tells their story from production in a factory to 10 of them falling into the sea during a storm, seeing different oceanic sites, and finally ding their way to a different location.
Ordinal numbers (shown as "1st" as opposed to "first") are used for each duck and printed in bold, making it a great resource for teaching ordinal numbers. School Library Journal called it "a definite 10." We agree. It's adorable and kids love it. It's hard to go wrong with Eric Carle!
Below are the first three spreads, just to give you an idea of the illustrations---although who isn't already familiar with Carle's stunning collages. This takes place at the beginning of the book, when the little ducks are being loaded onto the cargo ship.
10 Little Rubber Ducks Lesson / Activity Ideas
Share the Real Story
Kids love hearing the real story that inspired Eric Carle to write this book. The idea of thousands of little rubber ducks (along with other bathtub toys like beavers, turtles and frogs) floating out at sea for a decade and finally washing up on the shores of New England is almost unbelievable! For the specifics of the story to share with your class, click here.
UEN Paper Ducks Activity
The Utah Education Network website lists a fun, interactive lesson / activity to go with this book. In short, the teacher reads the book, then has students try to retell the story using ordinal numbers and perhaps even reference to the idea that the ducks went in different directions---NSEW--although they certainly won't remember which duck does with which direction!. After that, each student is given a paper with ducks on it, which they cut out and color the ducks, then make the ducks follow the directions given. Also, the students line up the ducks on their desk and point to the ordinal position that the teacher says.

LA, Paris not interested in hosting 2028 Olympics
Written by Rishikesh Malkhede
Mar 23, 2017, 06:10 am 2 min read
Bidding to host the 2024 Olympic Games, Paris and Los Angeles have said that they are interested in the 2024 Olympics only and have no intention of hosting the 2028 Olympics Games. The statement from both the cities came after it was suggested that the International Olympic Committee may award both the 2024 and 2028 Games in September this year.
2028 Olympics and potential bidders
The 2028 Olympics are the 34th edition of the game and will be held in the year 2028. Budapest is one of the front-runners for hosting the 2028 Games. Along with Budapest, cities like Toronto, Berlin, Milan, Kazan in Russia, Busan in South Korea and Casablanca in Africa are also interested in bidding.
IOC planning to announce 2028 Olympics hosts in September 2017
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) is planning to pick the hosts for the 2028 Olympic Games during the IOC Summit in Lima in September 2017. The IOC is supposed to pick between Paris and Los Angeles as the hosts for the 2024 Olympics at Lima.
2024 is now or never for us: Paris
Tony Estanguet, co-president of the Paris Olympic bid cleared the air by saying that they won't be coming back for the 2028 Olympics. He said, "It is now or never. We will not come back for 2028. If the IOC can find a solution with Los Angeles, that's great - but our project is only possible for 2024."
2024 is best year for us to host Olympics: LA
The statement from Los Angeles' bidding committee stated, "With all permanent venues already built and 88% public support, only LA 2024 offers the lowest-risk and truly sustainable solution for the future of the Olympic movement in 2024 and beyond." They also said that LA cannot host the 2028 Olympics as they do not have any project available for the same.

Sports Betting Bill Stumbles From Starting Gate in Kentucky
Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, right, and Republican state Rep. Adam Koenig, left, teamed up at a press conference on Thursday, Feb. 6, 2020, in Frankfort, Ky., to push for passage of a bill to legalize sports betting in Kentucky. The proposal cleared a House committee in mid-January but has been awaiting a vote in the full House since then. (AP Photo/ Bruce Schreiner)
FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — In a state where betting on the Kentucky Derby is seen as a rite of passage, efforts to legalize wagering on other sports have barely gotten out of the starting gate.
A bill to allow wagering on sports other than horse racing has exposed tensions among Republicans who control the legislature, spotlighting a divide between Christian conservatives who oppose it for religious reasons and lawmakers who see the potential for a new revenue source.
The bill sailed through a legislative committee nearly a month ago but has languished in the full House since then while awaiting a vote. House Speaker David Osborne has repeatedly said the legislation is being discussed internally by Republican lawmakers while acknowledging that gambling remains a "very divisive" issue that evokes strong emotions.
Those divisions were on display Thursday. In a House speech, Republican Rep. Chris Fugate denounced gambling on moral grounds.
"Gambling is not the answer," the eastern Kentucky lawmaker said. "If you think about when we depend on the people of our districts to lose money so the state can gain money, it's not biblical first of all. It's against the Bible. It's morally wrong."
In the Senate, where Republican leaders typically present a united front publicly, leading GOP lawmakers were at odds even in handicapping the outlook this week for the sports wagering bill should it pass the House and reach their chamber. Senate Majority Floor Leader Damon Thayer predicted it would pass the Senate. A day later, Senate President Robert Stivers said he's not sure it has enough support.
A similar sports wagering measure died in last year's legislative session.
The new bill's supporters, including Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear, tout the revenue potential from sports betting in a state struggling to meet pension, health care and education needs. They say it would stop Kentuckians from flocking to neighboring states that allow sports betting, siphoning money from the bluegrass state. They also argue that time is of the essence because other neighboring states are taking steps to legalize sports betting, which they note is already legal in some 20 states.
"I am tired of trailing other states," Beshear said Thursday at a joint appearance with the bill's lead sponsor, Republican Rep. Adam Koenig. "It's time that we get into this game and we make sure that we are keeping these dollars at home."
Calling himself a "Ronald Reagan Republican," Koenig said the bill is in step with the ideals of individual freedom and responsibility espoused by the former president.
"Let's give grown adults the opportunity to make their own decisions," Koenig said.
Beshear campaigned last year on legalizing casino gambling, which would raise considerably more money. That idea faded when Senate Republican leaders declared it a non-starter before the legislative session began. So Beshear set his sights on the more modest sports wagering proposal, which he also touted as a candidate in ousting former Republican Gov. Matt Bevin.
Supporters estimate sports wagering would generate up to $25 million in yearly revenue. It's a fraction of what the state needs to deal with its pressing financial needs, but supporters said any new revenue helps. The bill calls for the bulk of the money to support chronically underfunded public pension systems. A portion would support gambling addiction services.
The bill would legalize betting on professional and college sports — which supporters see as a natural extension to the pari-mutuel wagering at horse tracks. Horse racing is a deeply ingrained tradition in the bluegrass state, highlighted by Kentucky's biggest sporting event on the first Saturday of each May at Churchill Downs in Louisville.
"I feel like I've been doing sports wagering for years — it's called the Derby," said Ashli Watts, president and CEO of the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce, which supports the sports wagering bill.
Under the measure, people could place sports bets at Kentucky's horse racetracks and at the Kentucky Speedway or online through an app downloaded at the tracks.
In a sweetener added this year, it would allow wagering on college sports teams in Kentucky — a provision that was excluded from last year's failed bill. The new version would allow basketball-crazy Kentuckians to bet on University of Kentucky and University of Louisville sporting events.
The issue has exposed the gaping fault lines on gambling. What supporters see as a form of entertainment is viewed by the opposition as morally wrong and hurtful to families.
Fugate, who opposes the bill, warned that gambling addictions can be as devastating to families as the opioid addiction woes that have ravaged the state.
"Gambling does the very same thing," he said. "It causes the same addiction that destroys families. Causes the same addiction that causes children to go without food."
Supporters say the bill acknowledges the reality that sports betting already occurs.
"Like it or not, residents from every community in the commonwealth are already betting on sports, either illegally through bookies or online, or legally crossing our border," said Democratic Rep. Al Gentry.

Hazmat situation at Disney Studios Burbank
By Fronnie Lewis on Thursday, April 12, 2018
Photo: FLLewis / Media City G — Walt Disney Studios entrance on Buena Vista Street Burbank April 12, 2018
Burbank Fire units and Hazmat team were spotted rushing through the Buena Vista Street entrance of the Walt Disney Studios today. It happened just before 9 a.m. this morning. ABC-7 reported the problem was acid leaking from an overheated battery on one of the sound stages. Fire personnel contained the spill and treated "eight employees complaining of minor symptoms," according to a news release from Simone McFarland, Burbank public information officer. Apparently the fumes from the leak caused some distress, but no one was transported to the hospital.
After fire crews tested the atmosphere and determined the area was safe, work resumed on the sound stage. As part of the protocol for this type of incident, Burbank Fire called in Los Angeles County Department of Health and Hazmat to investigate the situation.

Q: Performance of Frequent Itemset mining I have implemented apriori algorithm for mining frequent itemset its working fine for sample data but when i have tried to execute it for retail dataset available at http://fimi.ua.ac.be/data/retail.dat which is around 3mb data with 88k transaction and 1600 unique items it takes around 29 hours. I have searched for the cause of performance hit and found that algorithm to generate candidate itemset is taking much time. Can anybody help me for how to improve the performance or is these a normal algorithm behaviour.

A: What algorithm are you using, and what are your thresholds?
If you have n 1-itemsets that satisfy your minimum support, Apriori (and many others) must consider n*(n-1)/2 2-itemsets. This of course gets rather expensive. In Apriori, the 2-itemsets often is the largest and most expensive step (depending on your settings, 3-itemsets may be worse, but usually you don't get that far...)
Depending on your data characteristics, Eclat may perform better - or worse. FP-growth is very clever, but seems to be really tricky to implement right and efficiently.
There also exist a myriad of variants, some are probabilistic and may be substantially faster.
But in essence implementation and data set / parameter settings matter. One approach may be better than the other on the same set of data; and implementations may easily have a 10x performance difference. In particular for APRIORI, where many people don't fully understand the pruning tricks used, and end up doing much too much work.
For your example data set (which unfortunately is entirely unhelpful without a dictionary that explains the numbers), my APRIORI finishes in about 1 minute on a low-end Atom CPU with minSupport=1000. The 4-itemsets found were:
32, 38, 39, 48: 1236
32, 39, 41, 48: 1646
36, 38, 39, 48: 1080
38, 39, 41, 48: 1991
38, 39, 48, 110: 1031
38, 39, 48, 170: 1193

but as mentioned before, the parameters matter a lot with APRIORI. APRIORI scales well in the number of transactions (which may be more than fits into main memory), but it suffers from a large number of candidates, so you need to set minSupport high enough.
With minSupport=1000:
1-frequentItemsets (56)
2-frequentItemsets (49)
3-frequentItemsets (24)
4-frequentItemsets (6)
APRIORI runtime: 55401 ms

With minSupport=500:
1-frequentItemsets (185)
2-frequentItemsets (191)
3-frequentItemsets (79)
4-frequentItemsets (13)
5-frequentItemsets (0)
APRIORI runtime: 136594 ms

As you can see, runtime more than doubled. The reason is that the 1-itemsets grew, yielding many more 2-itemset candidates. At 3- and 4-itemsets, the difference is not so big anymore. But overall, 2 Minutes runtime on a really low end CPU isn't bad yet.
Decreasing minimum support to 250:
1-frequentItemsets (587)
2-frequentItemsets (640)
3-frequentItemsets (273)
4-frequentItemsets (54)
5-frequentItemsets (4)
APRIORI runtime: 954984 ms

Now runtime starts exploding. Almost 16 minutes to find the 5-itemsets:
32, 38, 39, 41, 48: 448
36, 38, 39, 41, 48: 334
38, 39, 41, 48, 110: 346
38, 39, 41, 48, 170: 413

as you can see, the 38, 39, 41, 48 4-itemset is playing a key role in this data set (but we already found this in the first run). We can now also give the confidence for 38, 39, 41, 48 -> 32, which will be the most confident rule involving 5 items: approximately 22.5% of transactions involving the first four also involved item 32. But given that AFAICT the meaning of the numbers for this data set is unknown, we do not know if this rule is actually interesting in practise, or just a toy exercise.
Going to minSupport=100, runtime further grows:
1-frequentItemsets (1857)
2-frequentItemsets (2785)
3-frequentItemsets (1475)
4-frequentItemsets (306)
5-frequentItemsets (28)
6-frequentItemsets (0)
APRIORI runtime: 8256507 ms

i.e. over two hours. Most of this time is spent on the 2-itemsets: there are 1.7 million candidates, out of which 2785 were frequent. For the 3-itemsets, one can roughly estimate that there will be just some thousand candidates, but not millions anymore. I have some plans on further improving the implementation by switching between two codepaths depending on the number of candidates. ('''Update:''' with a simpler modification, I further reduced the runtime by a factor of 20. So yes, '''implementation matters''', it can easily make a factor of 100 to 1000 or more - when APRIORI pruning is not fully implemented, for example)
If I ever find time to read up on the Eclat algorithm and reimplement it, I can update this with results. I believe it will be much faster here, and so will FP-growth.

A: There is a pretty efficient algorithm proposed by Karp Papadimtrioue Shanke, that is finding candidates in a single traversal on the data (it was basically designed for stream processing) in order to find items that have frequency of at least theta for any theta in (0,1).
The algorithm in high level:

*

*Collect elements into PF, counting their appearances

*Whenever 1/θ distinct elements are encountered, decrease all counters by 1 and remove from PF those whose counters are zero

*Output the elements in PF that survive this process

The algorithm yields 1/Theta (at most) candidates, and it has no false negatives (doesn't miss any candidate) - but it does have some false positives (some candidates are not frequent).
For simplicity, assuming 1/Theta is an integer.
Pseudo Code:
PF = {} //empty dictionary
for each element e:
   if PF.contains(e):
       PF[e] = PF[e] + 1
   else:
       PF[e] = 1
       if PF.size() == 1/Theta:
             for each element k in PF:
                PF[k] = PF[k] - 1
                if PF[k] == 0:
                     remove k from PF
When done, all elements in PF are your candidates.

A: It depends on your implementation. There are many optimizations that can be made when implementating Apriori.
First, if you read the original Apriori paper by Agrawal & Srikant you will notice that they suggest using a special hash tree to count the support of candidates efficiently.  If you want to see how this implementation work, there is a version of Apriori implemented with a HashTree in the SPMF open-source data mining library. It is named AprioriHT.
Another optimizations to avoid scanning the database multiple times is named AprioriTID. Each itemset is annotaed with the set of ids of transaction (tid set) containing it.  Then when a candidate is generated by combining two itemsets A and B, to count the support of AUB directly without scanning the database, you can perform the intersection of the tid sets of A and B.  For further optimization, you can implement tid sets with bit vectors.  This version of APriori is called AprioriTID.
Another optimizations was proposed in the algorithm Pascal. It is to use the notion of generators to infer the support thresholds of some itemsets without scanning the database by using the concept of generator itemsets from Formal Concept Analysis.
Another optimization is to sort your itemsets for each level in Apriori by lexicographic order and also all items in each itemset by lexicographic order. Then, when generating candidates, you can use this ordering to avoid comparing all itemset with each other to generate larger candidates.
There are also other optimizations. On the FIMI website, there are various implementations with different optimizations.
If you want to look at an optimized version, you can have a look at my implementations in the SPMF data mining library in Java.  Also, on the same website, you wil get implementations of faster algorithms such as FPGrowth.

Tuesday night went about as well as possible for Donald Trump.
Two weeks ago, after a rough stretch of states for Trump, we issued a series of delegate projections that included something called a "path-to-1,237" projection, a set of targets that would allow Trump to clinch a delegate majority without having to rely on uncommitted delegates. With Trump's terrific results in New York last week and even better ones in the five states that voted on Tuesday, Trump is running a little ahead of that path.
Based on provisional results, 1 it looks as though Trump will sweep every pledged delegate in Maryland (as a result of winning every congressional district), Connecticut (as a result of winning every congressional district and getting more than 50 percent of the vote statewide), Pennsylvania (where statewide delegates are awarded winner-take-all) and Delaware (ditto), along with 11 of 19 delegates in Rhode Island (which is highly proportional). Combined with the New York results, 2 that gives Trump 200 delegates since we issued the path-to-1,237 projections, five delegates ahead of his original targets.
Donald Trump is only losing 4 counties over all five states. The scope of his victory is unreal.

The crime came just two days after an ISIS-claimed attack on a professor, Rezaul Karim Siddique, who was hacked to death while waiting for a bus in Rajshahi. "ISIS fighters assassinated a university professor for calling to atheism in the city of Rajshahi in Bangladesh," said a statement from ISIS' Amaq News Agency.

...Here's the reality: Your chromosomes have nothing to do with your ability to be successful as an entrepreneur.
I have never once thought of myself as a woman entrepreneur, a women investor, a women author or a woman anything. I am an entrepreneur or any of the other roles that I play, period -- without any qualifiers. And, as I told each woman that asked the question, so are they.
The constant segmentation of everyone by gender, race, age or other qualifier beyond their control does nothing but create self-doubt from those who have been categorized as well as others around them. Those things are out of each individual's control and frankly have zero to do with determining their success. Preparedness, drive, perseverance, ability to learn from failure, ability to pivot, ability to delegate and a bunch of other qualities do determine success -- but labels do not.
The only difference between a male and a female entrepreneur is that the women are more likely to be doing business in an uncomfortable pair of shoes until the time when someone creates comfortable high heels, but that's really a personal choice, too.... Read more, at the link.
Awesome Cruz rally in Terre Haute, #Indiana!
f you've kept count, then you know this means that Cruz loyalists filled a whopping 65 of the 94 spots available on Saturday. And that's not knowing who, for example, Kentucky delegates may lean toward for their own second ballot choice. So he may have picked up even more than that.


- Run a local independent media organisation for the area.
- Give a realistic and largely overall positive image of East London to everyone.
- Be a vehicle to promote other organisations and businesses in the area.
- Engage with our whole community, the most diverse on the planet.
- Enable people of all ages and backgrounds in the community to get actively involved.
- To teach these people new skills, boost their confidence and better engage with their community.
There is so much more to East London than the sensational headlines we sadly see all too often, the injuries, the deaths on our streets.
Imagine if we could change perceptions, engage with more younger people, bring communities together.
We've started, but this is a marathon, we need help to get to the next stage.
We have the framework, experience, a growing local brand. We are a Community Interest Company run entirely by unpaid volunteers now, on a shoe string budget.
To grow further, we need to employ part-time staff to help drive our growth, become more of the fabric of East London, work with more volunteers, drive support from the amazing businesses of the area, make more awesome radio output.
We've seen phenomenal growth in online listening, but with enough resources we could look at broadcasting on AM, FM and/or DAB in the future.
After 5 years, we need East London to support us in taking the next steps, to involve more people, to promote East London wider, to grow our output and our stature.
We need to have something the whole of East London can access, can support, be proud of and can cherish.
We did The Olympics, East London can do this.
We're here to make some noise.
After over five years of operation, we have some amazing passionate volunteers behind East London Radio.
We've given local people of all ages a voice, an outlet, we know we can and will do more. Lets turn frustration into something positive and break through to the next level, where we should be.

Andrew Luck was the first of eight offensive players drafted by the Colts.
It generally takes a few years to properly judge an NFL draft class since picks need time to develop. There are some though who hope their team's draft provides a quick fix to a position or to an entire unit.
Unfortunately, that's rarely the case.
Five teams used at least 75 percent of their draft picks on one side of the ball in this year's draft. The New England Patriots (six of seven), Seattle Seahawks (eight of 10), Detroit Lions (six of eight) and Green Bay Packers (six of eight) went heavy on defense. The Indianapolis Colts (eight of 10) loaded up on offense.
Examining draft classes back to 2002, the first season there was 32 teams, there have been 18 instances of a team using 75 percent or more of its draft picks of offense and 15 instances of a team using 75 percent or more of its picks on defense.
When teams have gone mostly offense, their scoring has usually decreased the following year.
Powered by Tableau
Twelve of the 18 teams that went this path saw their scoring decrease the following season by an average of nearly three points per game.
If anything, focusing on the offensive side of the ball in a draft harmed a team's defensive unit the following season. 13 of the 18 teams to take offensive players with at least three quarters of their picks allowed more points the following season. These teams allowed approximately three more points per game.
When teams have gone mostly defense, the results have been less one-sided.
Seven of the 15 teams that went this route allowed fewer points the following season. These teams allowed just over five points per game fewer on average.
Seven of the 15 teams allowed more points the following season, with those seven averaging approximately four points more per game. The 2009 Atlanta Falcons, who used seven of their eight picks on defense, allowed the same amount of points in 2008 that they did in 2009.
The other side of the ball wasn't affected as much by this strategy. Eight teams scored more after going heavy on defense while seven scored less.
