The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry
You're on vacation and visiting a friend who lives in a small town, on an island, outside of New York City. You're wandering the streets and stumble upon a local bookstore. As you begin to browse through the aisles, you notice that there isn't a great selection of books. In fact, most of the books are self-help or simply seem picked over. You notice that there isn't anyone on staff, save for one teenager who's more interested in her own reading than offering any help to facilitate yours. So, you leave.
About a year later, you find yourself returning to the same bookstore. You figure, what's the harm, and walk in to give it a second chance. This time, everything has changed. The books are being displayed, and there is a variety of genres with both "New York Times Bestsellers," as well as a large selection of interesting looking titles that you have never heard of. You notice a book group in the back corner discussing some novel with quite a bit of debate.
Then, a bookseller comes over and introduces himself. It turns out he's the bookstore owner, and he makes a few suggestions based on what you tell him you like to read. Each title sounds interesting and the synopsis have you hooked. You end up leaving the store with a bag full of treasures that you cannot wait to dive into.
Looking back at the store though, you wonder… What could've happened to have made such a drastic turn around with this place? Maybe the store was bought out, and A.J. is the new owner bringing life back into it. Whatever has caused this change, you know it's a good thing, and it is gratifying to see an independent bookstore flourishing.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
As surprising as it is moving, The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry is an unforgettable tale of transformation and second chances, an irresistible affirmation of why we read, and why we love.
We are not quite novels.
We are not quite short stories.
In the end, we are collected works.
A. J. Fikry's life is not at all what he expected it to be. His wife has died; his bookstore is experiencing the worst sales in its history; and now his prized possession, a rare collection of Poe poems, has been stolen. Slowly but surely, he is isolating himself from all the people of Alice Island—from Chief Lambiase, the well-intentioned police officer who's always felt kindly toward him; from Ismay, his sister-in-law, who is hell-bent on saving A.J. from his dreary self; from Amelia, the lovely and idealistic (if eccentric) Knightley Press sales rep who persists in taking the ferry to Alice Island, refusing to be deterred by A.J.'s bad attitude. Even the books in his store have stopped holding pleasure for him. These days, he can only see them as a sign of a world that is changing too rapidly.
And then a mysterious package appears at the bookstore. It's a small package, though large in weight—an unexpected arrival that gives A.J. the opportunity to make his life over, the ability to see everything anew. It doesn't take long for the locals to notice the change overcoming A.J., for the determined sales rep Amelia to see her curmudgeonly client in a new light, for the wisdom of all those books to become again the lifeblood of A.J.'s world. Or for everything to twist again into a version of his life that he didn't see coming.

And so The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry: A Novel goes…
Honestly, from looking at the front cover and reading the synopsis it sounds interesting, but I was not thrilled to dig in. This book was everywhere on #bookstagram and everyone spoke very highly of the book, but sometimes you aren't in the mood for the genre. However, I had just finished The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater during one of my many plane flights in June and felt like starting another book right away.
By the first page, I was infatuated and knew this was a book that would stick with me forever. I don't remember the last time I read a novel this quickly. By the time we landed a few hours later, I almost had it finished.
In the beginning of the book, we are introduced to Amelia, who works for a publishing company set to provide the store, Island Books of Alice Island, with their seasonal book list. She finds herself recently promoted and taking over for a deceased book promoter who had a complicated relationship with the Island Books owner. Her introduction to A.J. Fikry is no different, as he rejects any and all of her ideas and starts to push her out the door. However, before she is rudely cast off, she leaves him with one book title, The Late Bloomer.
A.J. is a thirty-nine year old widow living in the space above his book shop. His wife and he had opened the bookstore together as her lifelong dream to return to her hometown and bring the locals great stories. After she died, A.J. lost motivation. Then, one night, he finds that someone has stolen his rare collection of Poe poems, and, a few days later, there is an abandoned baby girl hidden in the children's book section.
Without spoiling too much of this wonderful story, A.J. adopts the baby and names her Maya. From that point on his life makes a dramatic shift and he begins opening up to the world around him. He decides to read The Late Bloomer and gives Amelia a call, which begins the re-invigoration of the store's book selection and resulting sales. From there, everything takes off.
This is one of those books that needs to be read.
It is quick, funny, and makes you appreciate the subtleties of life. As an avid book reader, I identify with the dream of owning a bookstore, as well as the dream of working in publishing and helping to select the new reads that will dawn bookshelves across the country. I was inspired by the love and devotion that A.J. provides to both his adopted daughter and his town through his passion for books.
I also loved the addition of poems that Zevin added as a break between chapters. At first it seemed to simply be a page break of sorts, but as you read deeper into the novel you realize that these are poems that Fikry puts together for his daughter Maya. There is something so special about this added element to me, and gives the book a depth that I enjoyed immensely.
In the end, this is one of those stories that breaks your heart and rebuilds it even stronger. It reminds you of the power that books can hold in your life and how they can be bonding mechanisms and healers as well.
As the American novelist, playwright and poet, James Baldwin, said,
"You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, or who had ever been alive."
If this is not on your TBR list, I recommend adding it. The story is smart, the characters are lovely, and the pace is quick. This has definitely become one of my favorite reads and a story that I will revisit often.

The best electronic cigarette
May 2nd, 2014
By Rebecca Diaz
Finding the best e cigarette brand just got easier. In today's 2014 landscape, there are many brands of electronic cigarettes coming to market and I'm here to walk you through the dirty details so you can find yourself the right brand and not waste any time or money on something that won't suit your tastes.
My brand of choice is V2Cigs. Click the banner here to get the latest promotions.
Why Do I Love V2 Cigs?
First is their flavor, particularly their red flavor, which is their most popular flavor. For anyone looking for a nice tobacco flavor, like a Marlboro, try out the V2 Red!
They have tons of other flavors to choose as well, I recommend trying a couple out.
If you want the easiest way to test these guys out, go for the V2 Cigs Ultimate Kit. This kit exemplifies the basis of what I love about V2 with all their customization options and TOP NOTCH quality.
You can select the types of batteries (manual or automatic), as well as 5 different flavors, so you can test them out to the max.
These guys go all the way when it comes to product quality, with endless testing of everything, to ensure they meet and exceed the highest standards.
But if you're just starting out, it's their flavor, as well as great vapor production and throat hit (that feeling in the back of your throat), that makes these guys really stand out. As with tobacco cigarettes, it really comes down to flavor.
And Their Prices
Not only do they offer an exceptional product line, the prices are very competitive. Their cartridges are $10 for 5 which is hard to beat. On top of that, we have some nice V2 coupon codes to save you additional money on your purchase.
Buying Direct
One more thing that I love about a brand like V2 is that you are buying direct from the official website&#8230 no middle man.
You can buy from their official site
This video from the company shows some of their attention to such high quality standards
Since 2009 Green Smoke has been named a top electronic cigarette brand by everyone who has had the luxury of trying their products.
Recently there's been a surge of new vapor cigarette smokers. Many people have asked me about what other brands I like that make products resembling cigarettes, and I have no problem recommending them to Green Smoke. It's really a tight race at the top of the food chain for e cigs, and while my preference is V2, I know MANY people who swear by Green Smoke. I used to use them, and have had a lot of experience with them, I guess it's personal preference.
Literally, MILLIONS of people have used Green Smoke since 2008, and that should say something. They have a massive market share and are one of two brands to be picked up by Big Tobacco companies. (The other is Blu Cigs.)
You heard me right Green Smoke is a part of Altria the same company who makes Phillip Morris products like Marlboro.
In a time when many start ups are forming e cigarette brands, who do you really want to go to for your vapor cigarette products? A "new guy," or an established, credible, and long running brand that was so impressive it was picked up by Big Tobacco?
Here's a link to the Green Smoke review.
Looking For The Best Advanced Vaporizers Money Can Buy?
Meet VaporZone
These guys saw a need in the market and over delivered. If you are looking for an incredible selection of eGo type batteries, tanks, and an amazing line of e cig liquids to go with it, you will love VaporZone.
Pictured here is the Pulse kit >
They have a number of APV kits like this to choose from, anywhere from the most basic, to advanced products that look like they come from outer space.
Read more about VaporZone here.
Use the quick guide to easily evaluate the top companies on the e cig market. I work with some technology wizards, and am a highly experienced blogger, so putting everything in an easy to follow format is priority #1.

Vapor Zone Review
South Beach Smoke review
Bull Smoke review
Halo electronic cigarette review
Perhaps our most valuable page is our electronic cigarette coupon database.
Happy 2014, and drop a line should you have any questions or comments.
Other Top Brands
Another two or three names are added to the lineup of electronic cigarettes every year, though several have dropped away or all but disappeared since the idea first took off. The ones that hold on have to offer something special a great price point, fabulous looks, thick vapor, or tasty flavors. Some brands appear to have it all together, but usually there is at least one special feature setting each brand apart from every other.
The Cheapest Bull Smoke
The overriding consideration at Bull Smoke is price bringing the cheapest starter kit on the market to new ex smokers. Their $30 kit hasn't changed much except that the Ranch Hand was accompanied by a City Slicker. Now there's just the one kit and it is customizable enough so you don't need a second choice.
Flavors from Bull Smoke could do with some additions. They had ten a year ago and continue to offer the same ten cartridges, all the usual types like tobacco, menthol, vanilla, and cherry. What if you wanted more and were willing to pay a bit extra for the privilege?
You might try a White Cloud disposable e cig known as a Fling or a Mini Fling. While the Bull Smoke Buckshot Disposable is $5 and comes in one flavor, Fling disposables are also inexpensive in either size and available in lots of flavors. White Cloud also sells several starter kits with one or two batteries respectively and decent prices, plus their fancy Squid Charger. It looks after multiple batteries simultaneously, making the Squid Charger a niche product no other firm appears to have replicated. White Cloud kits are almost as affordable as Bull Smoke.
Eversmoke and South Beach Smoke
Two out of three members of the International Vaping Group, Eversmoke and South Beach Smoke, market similar products. The biggest difference between them is that Eversmoke focuses on bringing customers more of everything so they can take advantage of the low cost bulk sales. Otherwise, both companies sell starter kits of varying sizes and configurations for all budgets. South Beach Smoke provides more flavors of pre filled cartridges though. While Eversmoke markets e liquid by the third member of their IGA trio (Vapor Zone) for use in newly added tanks, South Beach Smoke plants their own name on bottles of the same stuff.
The Volt by Smokeless Image
The Volt e cig is a decent product from Smokeless Image, good enough for advanced vapers to return to this mini cig as a fallback for public consumption. Smokeless Image has quietly stolen into one of the top places on many top ten lists during the last 12 months because of their vapor production. There are not a lot of starter kits on offer here, perhaps because Smokeless Image is aware that mini cig users start to lose interest after a few months, maybe a year before buying advanced equipment. That's why they sell a version of the Innokin MVP, their own Volt MVP 2.0, with a variable voltage function. Smokeless Image sells its own e liquid and also carries NicQuid flavors.
Blu Cigs
Blu could do with adding more flavors to their recently updated site. Theirs was one of the first electronic cigarettes to receive mainstream air time on major TV stations, thanks to celebrity advocates.
The brand continues to shine literally via the social feature on its portable charging case. When someone else with a Blu Cigs charging case arrives in your vicinity, the blue flame on each case will glow. It's a gimmick, and like all gimmicks, this one is a lot of fun.
Cigavette
Change one letter and you're back to cigarettes, but that's the point it doesn't take much to lose your commitment to a healthier life. Stay focused with a good brand, one that grows with you. Cigavette aims to be that brand. They sell expensive express kits with two cartridges, a USB charger, and one battery costing $29.99. Skip it and go to one of their starter kits. While it's not unusual to find an additional battery size, being able to purchase a larger cartomizer is wonderful. These come with the "Go" series of high powered batteries.
Volcano eCigs
Volcano had the vision in its earliest days to offer three levels of vaping cigalikes, eGo cigs, and mods. These are the Magma, Inferno, and LavaTube. Some companies are just catching up now, which goes to show what a good idea Volcano's owners had. Volcano ecigs receive high ratings for performance. They sell countless juice flavors, but stock can run low as a result of their popularity.
Halo Cigs
Add another brand to a thickening selection of vaping devices Halo Cigs. While brands like South Beach Smoke, Eversmoke, and Bull Smoke make a device that looks like a cigarette, Halo dispenses with illusion. Their G6 starter kits only differ from each other by color, there being 9 to choose from. Instead of creating multiple kits, they sell one for a single price. That goes for their advanced Triton ecig with its extended battery life and tank. Not only are the electronics on a Triton high quality, but Halo Purity e liquids are so good distributors pick them up for sale on other websites.
Madvapes
Most of the brands above try to accommodate advanced vapers in some way. They sell high powered batteries, extra large cartomizers, or even carry mods. By the time you gain enough confidence to identify equipment according to amps or how pieces thread together, it is typical to steer away from overpriced brands and try companies like Madvapes. They sell several brands of ecigs, plus a Madvapes own starter kit, but there aren't any cigalikes here.
All of their products cater to experienced vapers who expect 4 hours and more from each battery, don't use pre filled cartridges, and might even want to repair their own systems. Madvapes sells DIY equipment so you can maintain your RDA or RBA. Replace a regular atomizer, wick, LED lights, and coils. Their catalogue shows pieces from Innokin, Vision, and SmokTech. E liquids come from Hangsen, Dekang, TopVapor, and Lion Head. Flavor extracts sold here go along with e liquid DIY equipment.
History of tobacco
Eu tobacco directive and e-cigarettes: maladministration complaint to european ombudsman В« the counterfactual
Tobacco has a long history in the Americas. The Mayan Indians of Mexico carved drawings in stone showing tobacco use. These drawings date back to somewhere between 600 to 900 A.D. Tobacco was grown by American Indians before the Europeans came from England, Spain, France, and Italy to North America. Native Americans smoked tobacco through a pipe for special religious and medical purposes. They did not smoke every day.
Tobacco was the first crop grown for money in North America. In 1612 the settlers of the first American colony in Jamestown, Virginia grew tobacco as a cash crop. It was their main source of money. Other cash crops were corn, cotton, wheat, sugar, and soya beans. Tobacco helped pay for the American Revolution against England. Also, the first President of the U.S. grew tobacco.
By the 1800's, many people had begun using small amounts of tobacco. Some chewed it. Others smoked it occasionally in a pipe, or they hand rolled a cigarette or cigar. On the average, people smoked about 40 cigarettes a year. The first commercial cigarettes were made in 1865 by Washington Duke on his 300 acre farm in Raleigh, North Carolina. His hand rolled cigarettes were sold to soldiers at the end of the Civil War.
It was not until James Bonsack invented the cigarette making machine in 1881 that cigarette smoking became widespread. Bonsack's cigarette machine could make 120,000 cigarettes a day. He went into business with Washington Duke's son, James "Buck" Duke. They built a factory and made 10 million cigarettes their first year and about one billion cigarettes five years later. The first brand of cigarettes were packaged in a box with baseball cards and were called Duke of Durham. Buck Duke and his father started the first tobacco company in the U.S. They named it the American Tobacco Company.

The American Tobacco Company was the largest and most powerful tobacco company until the early 1900's. Several companies were making cigarettes by the early 1900's. In 1902 Philip Morris company came out with its Marlboro brand.
They were selling their cigarettes mainly to men. Everything changed during World War I (1914 18) and World War II (1939 45). Soldiers overseas were given free cigarettes every day. At home production increased and cigarettes were being marketed to women too. More than any other war, World War II brought more independence for women. Many of them went to work and started smoking for the first time while their husbands were away.
By 1944 cigarette production was up to 300 billion a year. Service men received about 75% of all cigarettes produced. The wars were good for the tobacco industry. Since WW II, there have been six giant cigarette companies in the U.S. They are Philip Morris, R.J. Reynolds, American Brands, Lorillard, Brown & Williamson, and Liggett & Myers (now called the Brooke Group). They make millions of dollars selling cigarettes in the U.S. and all over the world.
In 1964 the Surgeon General of the U.S. (the chief doctor for the country) wrote a report about the dangers of cigarette smoking. He said that the nicotine and tar in cigarettes cause lung cancer. In 1965 the Congress of the U.S. passed the Cigarette Labelling and Advertising Act. It said that every cigarette pack must have a warning label on its side stating "Cigarettes may be hazardous to your health."
By the 1980's, the tobacco companies had come out with new brands of cigarettes with lower amounts of tar and nicotine and improved filters to keep their customers buying and to help reduce their fears. The early 1980's were called the "tar wars" because tobacco companies competed aggressively to make over 100 low tar and "ultra" low tar cigarettes. Each company made and sold many different brands of cigarettes.
In 1984 Congress passed another law called the Comprehensive Smoking Education Act. It said that the cigarette companies every three months had to change the warning labels on cigarette packs. It created four different labels for the companies to rotate.
Public Law 98 474, "Comprehensive Smoking Education Act, 1984"
Credit Smoking Tobacco & Health, Centers for Disease Control
Since the 1980's, federal, state, local governments, and private companies have begun taking actions to restrict cigarette smoking in public places. The warning labels were the first step. Tobacco companies cannot advertise cigarettes on television or radio. It is against a law that was passed by Congress in 1971. Many cities across the U.S. do not allow smoking in public buildings and restaurants. Since 1990, airlines have not allowed smoking on airplane flights in the U.S. that are six hours or less. State taxes on cigarettes have increased.
As it becomes more difficult for tobacco companies to sell their products in the U.S., they are looking outside. U.S. tobacco companies are now growing tobacco in Africa, South America (Brazil and Paraguay), India, Pakistan, the Phillipines, Greece, Thailand, and the Dominican Republic. Fifty percent (50%) of the sales of U.S. tobacco companies go to Asian countries, such as Thailand, South Korea, Malaysia, the Phillipines, and Taiwan.

Today's edition of K'lee and Dale's Cosmic Photo Challenge is a bitter-sweet affair, dealing as is does with the theme of; Rebirth and remembrance.
K'lee set the prompt and when I saw what it was, it occurred to me that there were two things on my mind this Easter weekend; how fortunate I was to have such glorious weather to enjoy the beautiful Devon countryside with Audrey and; how much I miss my friend, Chris, who passed away almost exactly four years ago.
See what K'lee has to show you HERE later.
A laid back, holiday approach to posting this week's prompt on K'lee and Dale's Cosmic Photo Challenge, with K'lee providing the theme; Rebirth and remembrance.
As always, run with it however you want and we'll compare notes on Monday.
Enjoy whatever celebratory activities you have planned for the rest of the weekend and capture us something interesting in the process.
Just for a change, I had no problem meeting my own brief this week on K'lee and Dale's Cosmic Photo Challenge, having set the prompt on Friday of; The beauty of Spring.
The weather even cooperated (more or less) and I captured some of the newly emerging flowers in the garden on Saturday, as well as taking a few shots on a bike ride in the nearby countryside with Audrey yesterday.
K'lee will Spring his post on you HERE.
Now it's time to show us how you interpreted the challenge this week.
Welcome to an artistic installment of K'lee and Dale's Cosmic Photo Challenge, curated this week by K'lee, who chose the prompt; State of the art: Yesterday, today or why not tomorrow.
I decided to take that fairly literally and pick a few of my original "art" compositions from previous posts and create a new one specially for the occasion.
…and this is the latest addition, made using some graffiti I captured on last weekend's walk with Audrey.
K'lee showcases his artistic side HERE.
Now it's time for you to dazzle us with your aesthetic creativity.
Ok, this week's prompt for K'lee and Dale's Cosmic Photo Challenge is somewhat later than usual, but I had to wait for K'lee to post before I could pass on his inspiration; State of the Art: Yesterday, Today, or Why Not Tomorrow?

About Game of Thrones Slots
As you might expect, the Game of Thrones slot machine experience is heavily inspired by the fantasy drama aesthetic of the show, making use of some familiar symbols (The Westeros Houses) as well as some conventional letter-based symbols.
From a gameplay perspective, it's your typical five-reel slot, although there's a total of 243 possible paylines up for grabs (although you can reduce it to 15 paylines)! Each of the House symbols gives a unique bonus, while the GoT logo acts as a Wild and the Iron Throne becomes your Scatter.
Aside from the symbols, there's also the "board" of the game itself is perfectly fitting, using a mixture of browns and golds to give it that fantasy rustic feeling you would expect. You can find the game at many of the latest slot websites online.
How to Play Game of Thrones Slots Online
Playing the GoT game is as simple as you would expect. First, you set your bet using the Coin Size and Coins fields, which can be increased using the + and – options. The coin size applies to each of the coins you have. Once you're ready to play, you can either use Spin to perform a single spin or Autoplay to set up a number of repeating spins.
Due to the software behind the game, it can be played on all platforms, both in apps and in browsers. There aren't any gameplay differences between them. It's possible to reduce the game from 243 to 15 paylines.
The main feature of the game is the bonuses awarded from certain symbols. For example, 2 or more Iron Throne symbols give you a random cash prize, while 3 Iron Throne symbols or above trigger the Free Spins feature. This free spin feature lets you choose from four bonuses:
Baratheon – 8 free spins and a x5 multiplier with 3 Stag symbols stacked.
Lannister – 10 free spins and a x4 multiplier with 4 Lion symbols stacked.
Stark – 14 free spins and a x3 multiplier with 5 symbols stacked.
Targaryen = 18 free spins and a x2 multiplier with 6 symbols stacked.
You can only activate one of these free spins bonuses each time the feature is activated. Activating a multipliers bonus doesn't remove it from the next use of the feature: you can select Stark twice in a row if you prefer, and you won't need to go through them all to 'refresh' your options.
The Gamble Feature
Gamble allows you to risk your winnings after every win. It's always options, and when triggered, it lets you play a sub-game where you bet on the outcome of a coin flip. Correct guesses give you big wins, incorrect guesses wipe your slot winnings for that spin.
What Symbol Triggers Game of Thrones Slot Bonus Free Spins?
The free spins feature can only be triggered through getting at least three Scatter symbols. Getting more doesn't increase the free spins, but it leads to bigger bonuses outside of the feature.
You can also re-trigger the bonus at any time, including while you're using the free spins bonus itself.
Paylines and Stakes
Game of Thrones can be played as both a 15 payline and 243 payline game. 243 payines are the "easier" way to play, but can result in fewer bonuses. The minimum coin size is 0.3, and the maximum is 6.
Remember that each payline adds another coin to the game, increasing your total stake: your actual stake is the coin size multiplied by the amount of coins in play.
Game of Thrones Slot Game Software
Game of Thrones slots is powered by Microgaming, the software developer behind dozens of highly-praised casino games. The group has won some major awards, including the CasinoBeats Pride of Gaming Awards, an Award for Excellence, the Slots Platform of the Year from the Malta Gaming Awards and various others.
They have also worked with major casino sites, including big names like 888 Casino and 21 Casino, to produce special games or software platforms for them to use.
What is the Game of Thrones Slots RTP?
The game's RTP is around 95.01%, which is roughly average for a slot game of this type. This presumably includes both the 15 and 243 payline version of the game, since they're both meant to be balanced in a similar way.
This means that, across all players, 95.01% of all money spent on the slot game was given back as winnings.
Slot Volatility
Just like some of the events of the show itself, the Game of Thrones slot is highly volatile and high variance. This means that players are likely to either get big wins or big losses, with every spin meaning something: every streak of hard losses can eventually lead to big wins, and wins are rarely small.
The Game of Thrones online slot game is an entertaining experience if you enjoy the show, but there's also enough these to appeal to people who know nothing about Game of Thrones.
True to its source material, the Game of Thrones slot game manages to stay full of action and always feels volatile: the inclusion of the Scatter symbols giving you multiple free bonuses to choose from only adds to the fact that you never know what's coming next.
If you're not a fan of GoT, don't feel turned off by the idea of playing anyway. While the graphical style fits the show well, it isn't highly specific in a way that makes it hard to understand. Fans will appreciate the references and nods to the show, but you're in no way required to understand any of the symbols, and they're all distinct enough to stop you from getting overwhelmed.

Q: Prediction of sales based on previous data A bit scared to post a question here (math fear syndrome I bet).
I was looking for a way to predict (rough estimation) a next value based on series of previous values. These values are a sales totals for several previous years.
I found few websites i.e. The Online Excyclopedia of Integer Sequences but cannot understand formulas that are given there and how to modify them.
I know that the problem is not easy but was wondering if there is some way to do at least rough estimation of next few values.
An example. Lets say I have previous years sales: 200, 280, 370, 450, 530.
Now I am looking to predict next few value(s).
Regards

A: Your example data seems to be linear:

You could fit a linear function to the data.
You would get $f(x)=83x+117$.
EDIT:
To do that, you need to find the values of $a$ and $b$ such that $f(x)=a x + b$ minimices the square of the distance to your data points. You can find more information and the formula for $a$ and $b$ in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_linear_regression
If you just want to do a quick calculation, you can use wolfram alpha.
If your data seems non linear data, it can be a difficult problem. You can try to fit other simple functions, such as polynomials or exponentials (you can do that with wolfram alpha too). Predicting the behavior of a function based on some data points is studied by statistical learning theory.
If you have more data or you want to try more complex fits, you should use a programming language such as Mathematica, Matlab, Python or R (the last two are free and open source).

A: I found something called Microsoft Time Series Algorithm which is part of Sql Server Analyses Services.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-GB/library/ms174923.aspx
This seems to be the route to take as I am not familiar with higher matt and Sql Server seems to cover exactly what I need.
Thanks for trying to help me.

Phnom Penh Post - International Women's Day celebrated in the Kingdom
International Women's Day celebrated in the Kingdom
Voun Dara | Publication date 03 March 2020 | 23:34 ICT
The Kingdom is committed to boosting investment in resources that make it possible for women to expand and achieve their goals. Facebook
Tue, 3 March 2020
Voun Dara
The ministries of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, and Women's Affairs on Tuesday outlined a key message in the run-up to celebrating the 109th anniversary of International Women's Day, "Peace Promotes Gender Equality".
Foreign Affairs Minister Prak Sokhonn said at the pre-anniversary celebration at the ministry that the theme essentially showed the indispensable significance of peace in promoting women's rights and freedom in society. International Woman's Day falls on March 8.
"I sincerely thank the gender working group of our ministry for organising this celebratory programme to remind us of global women's movements that have demanded economic, social and political equality for women.
"One hundred and nine years ago, women were denied many rights and even today, some are still deprived of them in certain countries.
"Our Khmer ancestors valued women as the providers of the light of happiness for families. As the old saying goes, Seedlings save the land, women save men," he said.
Sokhonn said presently, the promotion of gender equality was a priority in the Kingdom's national development policy. However, he said it could not have yielded such successes if the country was at war, insecure and politically unstable.
He said in line with global trends that widely recognised the roles of women who contributed to achieving sustainable development goals, the government had also continued to implement policies to strengthen the rights and freedom of women.
The Kingdom, he said, was also committed to boosting investment in resources that make it possible for women to expand and achieve their goals in all social affairs and the development of the national economy.
"The Royal Government of Cambodia considers women to be the backbone of the national economy. Women have contributed significantly to the maintenance of peace and drive the pace of development.
"Seventy-nine per cent of adult women in Cambodia are part of the labour force and work at state institutions and private establishments," Sokhonn said.
He also said that from 2006 until now, Cambodia had dispatched a total of 6, 556 peacekeeping forces to the UN, of which 338 were women. In the Asean region, Cambodia ranked second in committing women to the blue-helmet forces.
Ministry of Foreign Affairs secretary of state and head of the gender working group Eat Sophea said International Women's Day served to remind us of the history of the resistance movement of women across the globe and to continue forward in their honour.
"Though the rights and the significance of women's roles are today better recognised and promoted, women still encounter direct and indirect discrimination. This includes rights to education, inheritance, and voting, just to name a few.
"In Saudi Arabia, women only attained the right to drive vehicles in 2017," Sophea said.
She said the Ministry of Women's Affairs had chosen the theme to express gratitude for peace and to inspire the spirit of maintaining the peace that has brought national independence.
"Peace has allowed people to live in freedom. It has allowed democracy and socio-economic development in all sectors which resulted in the integration of Cambodia in the region and world," she said.
Sophea added that the theme also aimed to strengthen the bravery of women across Cambodia and produce an atmosphere conducive to fostering gender equality.

Freed Pastor Andrew Brunson: 'This Is the Day Our Family Has Been Praying For'
DHA/AFP/File STR
Penny Starr
A Turkish court ruled to free Pastor Andrew Brunson on Friday after two years of detention on Friday. He is reportedly on his way home to North Carolina.
"We are grateful for the President's commitment and efforts in securing my release," Brunson said in a statement released by the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), which has been working to secure his release. "My entire family thanks the president, the administration, and Congress for their unwavering support."
"This is the day our family has been praying for – I am delighted to be on my way home to the United States," Brunson said. "It's been an extremely difficult time for our family and we want to express our appreciation to the millions of people around the world who have faithfully prayed for this day."
"I am thankful for the representation of the American Center for Law & Justice – especially ACLJ Chief Counsel Jay Sekulow and ACLJ Senior Counsel CeCe Heil – as well as the many others who worked so hard to obtain my freedom," Brunson said.
"I look forward to returning home and being reunited with my family," Brunson said.
The ACLJ said the development is "a significant victory for Pastor Brunson and his family."
The Turkish government arrested Brunson in October of 2016, claiming he was aiding two groups it considers terrorists – the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) and the Hizmet movement led by U.S.-based Islamic cleric Fethullah Gülen. But no evidence was presented in his courtroom appearances.
The ACLJ said Brunson was targeted because of his Christian faith. Brunson has been leading a Christian congregation and mission in Turkey for two decades.
"Pastor Brunson was on trial for the crime of 'Christianization,'" the ACLJ statement said. "The ACLJ, which has been working in this country and abroad to secure his freedom, said President Trump, as well as members of Congress, continued to push for Pastor Brunson's release and Turkish officials finally agreed.
"President Trump and his team have been tenacious in seeking the release of Pastor Brunson," Sekulow, chief counsel of the ACLJ said."We're grateful to the president, members of Congress and diplomatic leaders who continued to put pressure on Turkey to secure the freedom of Pastor Brunson."
Brunson faced up to 35 years in prison had he been convicted of the alleged crimes he committed.

Early humans lived in a river-margin forest in a wooded grassland landscape at Aramis, Ethiopia suggests a study published in Nature Communications this week. This finding is in contrast to the previous interpretation of early humans habiting a woodland environment far from a river. Knowledge of the habitat of early humans is key to answering the questions of early hominin evolution, including the development of bipedalism.	Ardipithecus ramidus is a 4.4 million year old hominin found at Middle Awash, Ethiopia. Royhan Gani and Nahid Gani studied the habitat of Ar. ramidus interpreting the data to suggest the presence of major rivers and river-margin vegetation. This would place Ar. ramidus in a river-margin habitat part of an otherwise savannah landscape. Understanding the landscape inhabited by Ar. ramidus will help assess the different theories for the development of early humans.

Q: activemq cannot create kahadb on symlinked data directory and excuse the English :-)
I am installing IBM platform HPC v4.2 for learning purpose in high availability mode.
My lab is :

*

*physical machine Fedora 25 : nfs3 for shared storage

*VM1 : manager1 :   RHEL 6.5

*VM2 : manager2 : RHEL 6.5

The installation goes like this :

*

*install phpc on first manager: manager1

*install phpc on second manager: manager2 (using the same options)

*configure an NFS3 share (home and data) for HA

*trigger the HA installation on manager1

All these steps were done successfully, but at then end of the HA installation, I couldn't log into phpc webmin interface, I had an error of some services/daemons which are not running.
After some digging, I have found the problem, I think I have at least :-)
The problem comes from the ActiveMQ process, the process starts but it doesn't bind to it's port (61616).
- the port is free and open on firewall.
The activemq process uses /opt/pcm/activemq/data to store it's log file, pid file and kahadb directory which contains it's database (I don't know too much about activemq).
In HA mode, the data directory is copied into the nfs3 share, mounted on /shared_phpc/opt/pcm/activemq/data, and a symplink is created on both managers on /opt/pcm/activemq/data to point to that directory.
/opt/pcm/activemq/data -> /shared_phpc/opt/pcm/activemq/data
If I rename the symlink and use the real directory (which was backed-up by the HA installer), the activemq process starts successfully, but if I use the symlink it doesn't, it starts but doesn't bind to it's port.
I even deleted all the files on the shared data directory to see if it was some access rights problem, but it was not, the activemq process starts, re-creates its log file, pid file, the kahadb directory, the lock file in the kahadb directory, but it doesn't create the kahadb files, and doesn't start properly.
I have no error messages on the log file, I don't know where to look now.

Apple UK Confirms iOS 4.1 for Sep. 8th
What's On My iPhone Home Screen?
New Elements of iTunes 10
Here are several aesthetic changes and new functionality in the latest version of iTunes application.
The first thing you will notice with this latest version of iTunes is that the icons on the left panel has all lost their 3D/colour effects. Many critics have complain that the change is ugly, this may be true, but I think the new design places the focus back on to the content: music tracks, videos, apps and the iTunes Store.
The problem seem to be the inconsistent applications of these 3D effects. Some controls have gain the latest Apple aluminum hardware look but others has the Aperture styling. These inconsistencies make the application feel unfinished, and continues the theory that iTunes is Apple's platform for experimenting with OS X UI designs.
One such OS X experiment is the controls of the window; which most refer to as the "traffic light" controls. For some reason Apple had rotated the set of controls 90° without any functional benefit except when the window is minimized. Hack to show users how to return these "traffic light" controls back to the pre-iTunes 10 design, or return the colours to the icons in the left side bar have already appeared as a result.
One nice change is in the Apps tab for the attached iOS device. In the new design user no longer have to guess at which apps are designed for the iPad and which cannot be run on the iPhone or iPod Touch. The same three categories that are in the Apps section of the left side bar are available here. These category heading automatically changes as you scroll the list up and down to reflect the category that the visible list of apps belong to.
Another useful change is with the tracks displayed in the iTunes Store, for any tracks you have purchased, the system will change the "$XX.XX Buy" button to "Purchased" for any tracks you have already purchase. So you can avoid purchasing the same track multiple times. This does not mean that you loose access to the list of options normally associated with a track: "Like", "Post", "Gift This Song", "Add to Wish List", "Copy Link", "Other Versions", "Share On Facebook" and "Share On Twitter". All you have to do is click on the label "Purchased" to review this menu of options.
For all who has an iTunes Store account in either: US, Canada, UK, France, Germany or Australia, you will also enjoy the new "social network for music", Ping.

The Internet Archive has uploaded 450,000 MySpace songs collected before the website suffered its data loss (via TechCrunch).
Last month reports surfaced that MySpace had lost most of its user data uploaded before 2016. This included 53 million songs from 14 million artists uploaded between 2003 and 2015. This was a massive loss, as MySpace was primarily a musical social media website.
It's called the MySpace Music Dragon Hoard, and it contains 450,000 MySpace songs uploaded from 2008 to 2010. Although it's a small percentage of the loss, it contains some early music from artists like Donald Glover, Katy Perry, Jeffree Star, Nicki Minaj, and others.


Is the Judicial Branch a Root of the Executive? or Hey! That Leaf of Lawyers is MINE!
Or maybe it's the fault of the No Child Left Behind Act which makes schools not care so much about Social Studies education. *shrug* Rant for another day.
Lady Justice is typically portrayed blindfolded in this country.
In the United States of America we have the separation of powers and checks and balances and other political doctrines.
The Supreme Court Justices are nominated by the Executive Branch (i.e. The President) and confirmed by one half of the Legislative Branch (i.e. The Senate). The same goes for U.S. District Court judges and U.S. Attorneys.
The job of the President is to see to the execution of the laws of the United States. And to do that, within the Executive Branch, we have the Department of Justice. The Department of Justice has oversight and command control over these U.S. Attorneys who are part of the Executive Branch.
Why? Why don't we have an attorney general who cares about the rule of law?
I'll tell you why: The President is in direct control of the Judicial Branch.
And I'll tell you something else: I see NO reason for it.
Why can't the Judicial "Branch" (more like dying limb) choose their own lawyers? Yes, yes, stop screaming separation of powers in my ear. But really, the Executive Branch should not have the authority to choose this nation's Federal lawyers AND judges. That's how you end up with this political agenda mess we have now and exactly why Alberto Gonzales is resigning and on his merry way out.
Picture this: U.S. Attorneys who actually belong to the Judicial Branch. Non-politically oriented. Doesn't that make sense? Why not give the Supreme Court of the United States some power and let THEM choose who sits in THEIR lower courts.
The Supreme Court has a weak link and no vested interest in politics once confirmed since they can't be fired, so they are quite obviously the perfect choice. The American people being a somewhat distant choice, but the principle of collective stupidity comes to mind.
Ah, but what about the President's responsibility to see that the laws are faithfully executed? Yes, well. It's simple. While the attorneys would chosen by the judicial, they are still expected to act in the best interests of the United States and follow the Justice Department. It's one of those honor things. Kind of like how the President can control the Legislative by veto and the Legislative can control the President by veto override. It would be a matter of cooperation and a gentleman's agreement.
It'll never happen. The Executive will forever control the Judicial. When you put it like that, doesn't it even sound silly? Justice is totally blind… but in America, a one-eyed bandit shall lead her astray.

My heart really goes out to all the professional musicians that have suffered with all the lost income from live music that just couldn't happen during the pandemic.
However, there are still some local venues in the area that have either continued or brought back live music that is so desperately needed for these artists to survive. Although you may have to remain in your seat with less dancing on the tables tolerated, you can still enjoy the sound of live music with a beverage in hand. Please join us in supporting these musicians and establishments during the upcoming months when many of them can perform on the patios or other safely spaced areas.

The Graupner Ultra Control 10 A Race BL Heli S is the perfect speed controller for all multi-copters and race-copters with 1-2S LiPo but also especially suitable for indoor models with 1S. The 10 A Race combines a compact design, low weight, fast reaction times and optimized settings for race-copters.
The Ultra Control 10 A has the Open Source BLHeli S Software installed for standard servo pulse, Oneshot, Multishot and D-Shot 150, 300, 600. The aircraft ESC uses the modern 50 MHz Silabs processors. The processor has a clock rate two times faster than its predecessors. This grants higher maximum speeds as well as precise timing at high speeds.
The power amplifier is located in a 3.3 x 3.3 DFN package. The field effect transistors (FET) have a low internal resistance. Special FET drivers ensure a more active freewheeling and better cooling of the power amplifiers.
The Ultra Control 10 A Race detects normal (PPM) receiver pulses but also OneShot, Multishot or D-Shot. The controller and the servo travel are already optimized for the GR-18 and the race copter settings. A 100 mm receiver cable is pre-installed.
The speed limit of the 10 A Race is 400.000 RPM with two-pole motors.
The 50 MHz Silabs processor of the 10 A can be updated and programmed using the Graupner update cable (No. 7168.6) and the included adapter.

Home ESG Viewpoint: BP sets a course for net zero
1151014_Fundwatch Q1 21_Multi Manager_FINAL
Views and opinions have been arrived at by BMO and should not be considered to be a recommendation or solicitation to buy or sell any companies that may be mentioned.
The information, opinions, estimates or forecasts contained in this document were obtained from sources reasonably believed to be reliable and are subject to change at any time.
A major commitment to become a "net-zero operating" company by 2050 was unveiled by BP's new CEO Bernard Looney, as he set out his ambitions for the oil supermajor. This commitment aims to address the long-standing question of whether oil & gas companies can transform themselves in response to the lowcarbon energy transition.
It has defined the destination of the company in 2050, while leaving open a range of options for the management to identify the transition pathway suitable to its business model as energy policy and technology evolve. This means that BP would still invest in oil & gas assets, at least in short term, while developing low carbon ventures to support its long-term growth.
It is, in our view, a commitment comparable to some other major international oil companies, including Shell, which committed to halving its net carbon footprint by 2050 last year. We believe that it is essential for companies in the sector to come up with a uniform way to communicate their commitments, e.g. benchmarking them to the ambitions set out in the Paris Agreement.
BP's move also further widens the gulf between the European companies, which have taken more progressive steps, including companies such as Equinor and Total with their substantial clean energy investments and Repsol with its own net zero target, and oil and gas companies in the rest of the world, which largely remain on a business-as-usual trajectory. Despite concerted investor engagement efforts through the Climate Action 100+ initiative, US supermajors including ExxonMobil and Chevron have barely shifted their core business strategies, and have yet to set long-term Paris-aligned targets.
The key question for us as investors is how BP will implement its commitment, on which the management will give more details in September 2020. We believe that achieving the goal will require a comprehensive and holistic consideration of carbon neutrality across all the aspects of BP's operations to resist the temptation of continuing to scale its oil and gas assets for short-term gains.
It is essential for companies in the oil & gas sector to come up with a uniform way to communicate their commitments
We would expect the company to decarbonise its business strategy to the maximum possible extent, avoiding excessive reliance on potentially expensive carbon offsets to net zero emissions. This demands an immediate and urgent shift in both research & development and capital expenditure plans. BP's progress in these areas slowed significantly after its 'Beyond Petroleum' strategy from the early 2000s ran into difficulties, and it now lags peers such as Total, which has built one of the world's largest solar businesses.
Steps we would recommend include:
A review of the internal carbon price used in project assessments, including an assessment of potential offsetting costs
An improved mechanism to veto fossil fuel investments if such additional supply does not align with the ambition set out in the Paris Agreement, a key ask in the resolution from Climate Action 100+ investors at the 2019 AGM
A significant scaling up of clean tech research funding
Identification and disclosure of which low-carbon technology pathways the company will be pursuing
Executive remuneration structures linked to the achievement of milestones in the climate strategy
We have been engaging with BP for two decades, both on an individual basis and through collaborative engagement initiatives such as Climate Action 100+, with close to 200 meetings, calls, emails and letters. We believe the new management team is genuinely committed to the zero carbon commitment, and that it is deliverable. We look forward to seeing more details on its decarbonisation strategy and will continue the constructive dialogue with the management team to ensure that BP is ahead of the curve in the low carbon energy transition.
BP's Commitment to be Net Zero by 2050:
Five aims related to BP's emissions:
1 Net zero across BP's operations on an absolute basis by 2050 or sooner.
2 Net zero on carbon in BP's oil and gas production on an absolute basis by 2050 or sooner.
3 50% cut in the carbon intensity of products BP sells by 2050 or sooner.
4 Install methane measurement at all BP's major oil and gas processing sites by 2023 and reduce methane intensity of operations by 50%.
5 Increase the proportion of investment into non-oil and gas businesses over time.
Five aims related to the world's emissions:
1 More active advocacy for policies that support net zero, including carbon pricing.
2 Further incentivise BP's workforce to deliver aims and mobilise them to advocate for net zero.
3 Set new expectations for relationships with trade associations.
4 Aim to be recognised as a leader for transparency of reporting, including supporting the recommendations of the TCFD.
5 Launch a new team to help countries, cities and large companies decarbonise.

Land to Table: Fire Roasted Catering
Posted on October 26, 2016 by Eric OKeefe
The hills and the glens of Western New England are teeming with rabble-rousers, scores of restless souls who have opted out of the status quo. Do not mistake them for foodies; their ambition goes well beyond sating their palates, or…
AT THE READY: Jeremy Stanton (third from left) and his crew of weekend warriors create culinary experiences celebrating local and seasonal ingredients.
The hills and the glens of Western New England are teeming with rabble-rousers, scores of restless souls who have opted out of the status quo. Do not mistake them for foodies; their ambition goes well beyond sating their palates, or yours. Instead, their focus is the genesis of the food chain: the land. Their goal? To revolutionize their experience at the table, and at yours.
One Jeremy Stanton has been identified as a primary instigator. It is said he runs a butcher shop in Great Barrington called, of all things, The Meat Market. But as the following pages document, he and his cohort at Fire Roasted Catering are capable of operating to great effect both far and wide.
THE HEAT IS ONE. Wood-grilled sumac-rubbed heritage chickens cook to perfection.
Although he once donned a chef's jacket and has the requisite degree from the Culinary Institute of America, Jeremy Stanton no longer prepares classic French fare. Or Italian. Or Asian. Gone are the days when terms such as chef de cuisine and amusebouche pepper his conversation. Instead, Stanton has returned to his roots in the Berkshire Mountains of Western Massachusetts, a setting he informs me was considered America's bread basket during the colonial era. In the nineteenth century, sheep replaced wheat as Berkshire wool gained renown. Today, small farms and dairies dot the land once again. They are his larder, and their owners his collaborators.
Stanton lionizes his vendors, a network of farmers, cattle raisers, cheese makers, and pork producers who share his commitment to nurturing the land traditionally. "They get so many pounds off such small tracts. And they don't take short cuts like using chemical fertilizers. They do things like compost excess waste," he says.
The end result is a sophisticated form of foraging. "We just catered a wedding in Portland [Maine], and we sourced all the produce from within two miles of the venue," Stanton says. "You can sense the difference. It's more than just flavor. It's the land."
It is this hyper-local dynamic that distinguishes his current culinary mind-set from the days of yore.
"So much of what we do is a balance, a balance of what's in the soil with a myriad of elements, including the water that is used to grow the produce, the grains, and even the beer brewed here. Water is so full of things that will impart different characteristics," he says.
THE APPETIZER BOARD. Thanks to countless hands and a celebrated Italian slicer, the wow factor is palpable.
Another critical element is, of course, fire. Given the company's name – Fire Roasted Catering – it comes as no surprise that Stanton continually sources hardwoods for use at his events. "It's another opportunity to play with the elements of nature," he says.
"Different woods can be used to create entirely different outcomes. Ash, maple, oak, hickory, locust – every piece of wood we use has a different BTU level. And then there is the height of the flames themselves. Are we searing, charring, or roasting? I'm always recalculating. To me, it's a puzzle to be solved," he says.
Stanton has transformed a potential drawback – a firewood quarantine associated with an Asian beetle known as the emerald ash borer – into an opportunity. "Since we can't transport firewood across county lines, we must source local hardwoods to cook. What an ideal solution," he says.
For a larger event such as a wedding, Fire Roasted Catering arrives anywhere from six to eight hours in advance. Smaller gatherings require three to four hours of work on-site. This summer marked the first time that Fire Roasted Catering was booked to put on a first anniversary celebration.
"We actually catered the couple's wedding, but they were so mobbed by family and friends that they never got to try anything. So since everyone raved about how good it was, they thought they should find out for themselves," Stanton says.

13+ People Confess How They Crossed a Line They Swore They Never Would
Archit Tripathi
"I would do anything for love, but I won't do that."
Even a lovelorn Meatloaf knew that you've gotta draw the line somewhere. We all have certain things we swear we'll never ever do, but sometimes life gets in the way of best-laid plans and you end up breaking that promise to yourself. Maybe it's not that big a deal (like not following through on the "No Girls Allowed" policy for your bedroom), or maybe it's something life-altering like falling victim to substance abuse.
It can be hard to admit when you've gone to your own personal dark side, but that's just what these 15 people are about to confess…
#1. Just like you'd expect.
"Taking back a cheater. Turned out just like you'd expect."
#2. I was naive!
"Thought I'd never have sex before marriage. I WAS NAIVE."
#3. There you go.
"The Maginot Line
I was a poor kid from the States and thought I could never afford to be one of those fancy pants who backpacked Europe for the summer but hey, there you go."
#4. I'd never do that.
"I remember being a teenager, looking at all my friends going out drinking and doing drugs and thinking that I'd NEVER do that.
Welp."
#5. Funny how that works.
"I never thought I would start smoking. It's funny how it works. A drunken drag off a friend's turns into a bummed smoke which turns into buying your own and then waking up coughing and realizing you've been smoking for X years.
Luckily I've been off of them for 8 months now, and quitting sucked so badly that I never want to start again. But then again, I never thought I would start in the first place."
#6. Every parent.
"One that pretty much every parent does at some point in their life.
When I was 12, I was all like "I'm never gonna be THAT parent that stops my kid from doing what I wanted to do right now but Dad said No."
Now, I'm like all "Now listen here you little shit."
(Not really. I use "brat". But I think "shit".)"
#7. Shooting up.
"Shooting up. Been an addict since 15 years old but i had never shot, then i did and loved the shit out of it. 3 ODs, scars on my arm for life. Just made it to 6 months off the needle on aug 7th."
#8. What I know I need to do.
"200 lbs. Then 250. Now I'm staring down 300, telling myself I can't go there, but it's so hard to do what I know I need to."
#9. Two of those things.
"I always told myself I'd never ride a motorcycle. "They're fast, you dont have self control, you'll kill myself." Turns out I was right about two of those things."
#10. Cardboard crack.
"Buying Magic the Gathering singles. It's cardboard crack, it really is."
#11. Weird fetishes.
"Probably my weird fetishes relative to sex. My partner just so happened to have the very same so here we are wearing latex suits and calling each other names.
Edit: A lot of these responses have been pretty hilarious and genuinely "heartwarming". Thanks guys."
#12. For obvious reasons.
"Always said I would keep my work life and personal life separate for obvious reasons. Dated a co-worker."
#13. Not overly different.
"Having sex with a girl on her period. Always thought it was very wrong. Turned out to be not overly different."
#14. After college.
"I never thought I'd live with a family member after college.
But then I started thinking more about expenses. Long story short, I can deal with annoying family debacles if I'm saving over 12 grand a year from rent."
#15. The most shameful thing I've done.
"I was blacked out drunk and drove home. I don't remember when I left, which route I took, or where I parked my car. I thought I took a cab home until I went to get my mail and saw my car parked outside.
It's one of the most shameful things I've done. I was young and dumb, and it shook me to my core. I didn't realize how easily someone could make that decision and am forever thankful no one was injured. It's a line that should never be crossed and I swore up and down I wouldn't ever. After that night, I either plan ahead or take a cab. Especially with Lyft and Uber being so prevalent these days, there's just no excuse."
