Economics education or economic education is a field within economics that focuses on two main themes:
The current state of, and efforts to improve, the economics curriculum, materials and pedagogical techniques used to teach economics at all educational levels; and
Research into the effectiveness of alternative instructional techniques in economics, the level of economic literacy of various groups, and factors that influence the level of economic literacy.
Economics education is distinct from economics of education, which focuses on the economics of the institution of education.
This article discusses the field conceptually, and also provides a general outline of the typical curriculum.

Economics education

Characterization
Akarowhe found that Economics Education can be seen as a process, science and product:

as a process - economics education involves a time phase of inculcating the needed skills and values on the learners, in other words, it entails the preparation of learners for would-be-economics educator (teachers) and disseminating of valuable economics information on learners in other for them to improve their standard of living by engaging in meaningful venture;
as a science, it means that it is a body of organized knowledge which is subjected to scientific test;
as a product, economics education involves the inculcation of saleable values/skills/disposition which are desirable by employers of labour and the society at large.

Organizations
Numerous organizations all over the world devote resources toward economics education.

In the United States, organizations whose primary purpose is the advancement of economics education include the Council for Economic Education (CEE) and its network of councils and centers, the Foundation for Teaching Economics and Junior Achievement. The U.S. National Center for Research in Economic Education is a resource for research and educational assessment in economics. Among broader U.S. organizations that devote significant resources toward economics education is the Federal Reserve System.

In the United Kingdom there is The Economics Network, a government-funded national project to support economics education in Higher education contexts, and the non-profit Economics & Business Education Association (EBEA) for secondary education. The non-profit organization Rethinking Economics is an international network of students and teachers promoting a change in the economics education towards more critical engagement, pluralism of theories and real-world applicability of the discipline. The movement has gained widespread support, among others by the Bank of England.

On a global scale, especially in Asia and Africa, there is the Global Association of Economics Education (GAEE), a non-profit organization that transforms conventional curricula into free, interactive learning platforms aligning to daily-life and real-world problems.

According to the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, 28.4% of all students receive specialties in the field of economics, trade and business. An attempt to create a Western-style Ukrainian journal called the Ukrainian Economic Review a few years ago ended in failure. The lack of publication of Ukrainian scientists in Western economic journals indicates the seriousness of the problem.

Journals devoted to the topic of economics education include the Journal of Economic Education, International Review of Economics Education, Australasian Journal of Economics Education, and Computers in Higher Education Economics Review.

Many organizations, such as The Economist, Financial Times, Royal Economic Society, and Institute of Economic Affairs, offer essay competitions for economics students.

Reform
University-level economics curricula, particularly introductory courses, have been criticized for putting undue emphasis on neoclassical economics - with its key assumptions of individual rationality and market equilibrium, described in the next section - and failing to explain real-world economic phenomena such as the financial crisis of 2007–2008;
see Mainstream economics#Criticisms and Financial economics#Challenges and criticism.

In response, the CORE Project, for example, has developed course materials, including a textbook called The Economy, that emphasize real-world applications in economics.

Curriculum

Economics is widely offered as a major subject, and often as a specialized degree.
Economics is also studied as a stand-alone course in business- and finance degrees, with the purpose of informing management- or investment decision making.

Economics programs
The typical economics curriculum, and degree structure, summarizes as follows.
The core theory comprises microeconomics and macroeconomics, as well as econometrics and mathematical economics;
as the student progresses, so the coverage becomes more abstract and mathematical.
The various branches of economics and areas of application are built on this base.
Some degrees in fact specialize in applied economics, econometrics, political economy or economic history.
For further discussion see Bachelor of Economics and Master of Economics; for a listing of universities specializing in economics, see :Category:Economics schools.

Micro- and macroeconomics begin with the joint-concepts of supply and demand.
Microeconomics develops these respectively for firms and individuals, assuming
businesses seek to maximize their profit under the various regimes of competition,
and that consumers, similarly, are attempting to "maximize utility" given their resources;
the price will correspond to the point where supply and demand are equal, i.e. a "partial equilibrium".
Macroeconomics focuses on the sum total of economic activity - similarly analyzing various equilibria - covering the performance, structure, behavior, and decision-making of an economy as a whole.
At the "intermediate" level, microeconomics extends to general equilibrium, to an analytic approach to demand-modeling where curves are derived from utility functions, and to game theory as applied to competition;
intermediate macroeconomics covers various advanced models of the economy, differences between schools here (particularly New-Keynesian, New-classical, and Monetarist), and the related policy analysis.
At the graduate level, the treatment focuses on microfoundations - where macroeconomic models aggregate microeconomic results - and dynamic stochastic general equilibrium, allowing for heterogeneity, thereby relaxing the idea of a representative agent.
In many programs, approaches from heterodox economics are introduced at more advanced levels, especially behavioral economics and experimental economics; here, the key ideas of individual rationality and equilibrium are questioned, and the relevant topics are then revisited.

Econometrics concerns the application of statistical methods to economic data so as to give empirical content to economic relationships. The study begins with the single-equation methods, i.e. (multiple) linear regression, and progresses to (multivariate) time series, simultaneous equation methods and generalized linear models;
at the graduate level, the treatment in parallel emphasizes the underlying statistical theory.
Students are trained on packages such as STATA, EViews and R.
Mathematical economics may be studied in its own right, or via incorporating advanced mathematical-techniques into the micro- and macroeconomic courses; commonly applied are optimization methods and dynamic systems modelling (for cases of "dynamic equilibrium" as above). At advanced levels, real analysis is used to abstract the economic relationships studied. Courses in decision theory, game theory and (agent-based) computational economics may be taught separately.
Many universities offer the further specialized Bachelors and Masters "in Econometrics / Mathematical Economics / Quantitative Economics".

Applied economics concerns the application of economic theory and econometrics in specific settings, and to practical issues.
As above, the various applied-fields are offered as (optional) courses in the economics degree, following core-work.
"Applied Economics Degrees" - bachelors and masters - do cover the core theory, but, often, with a reduction in the number of theory courses, allowing more choice and flexibility in the degree composition.
At many schools, specifically focused (and named) degrees are offered in agricultural economics, development economics, and financial economics.
Some master's level applied economics programs train students in data-driven analytics and business decision-support, combining microeconomic theory and econometrics with the student's selections from data science, operations research and finance.
Applied economics topics are taught in other programs, as relevant - for example health economics and engineering economics are offered in the MHA and M.Eng. respectively - but with a reduction in the level of theory.

Business degrees
In business degrees - undergraduate and masters - a course in "economics for managers", or the like, is typically a program requirement.
Here the macroeconomic element deals with topics relevant to commerce, such as inflation, business cycles, exchange rates, the banking system, and the money supply;
the microeconomic element mainly focuses on the managerial economics relating to product pricing, industry structure and competition.
The theory is largely at the "supply and demand" level.
Elements of econometrics may be incorporated into a business statistics or business mathematics course.
See .
The high-school courses largely mirror this content; their theory discussion may overlap the first courses in the major.
Many undergraduate business degrees offer economics as a major, with the structure largely as above, although often with fewer theoretical and mathematical courses.

Finance programs
In finance programs, usually postgraduate, the macroeconomic element will be similar to the business degree's, but may also emphasize forecasting - which is widely applied in asset allocation and other financial applications such as financial analysis - and is then (slightly) more theoretical.
Managerial-type microeconomics may be included in programs with a strong business focus, such as the Master of Science in Finance.
Otherwise, microeconomics is explicitly included only in the more theoretical Master of Finance programs, here emphasizing concepts from financial economics such as expected utility; these concepts are often implicitly covered where relevant as underpin to a specific module.
Applied- or financial econometrics is often included, similarly.
Economics is commonly combined with Finance as an undergraduate double major; depending on the program, the economics coverage may be theoretical, as for the standard degree, or applied, as for business degrees.
Professional certification programs, such as the CFA and CIIA, often include topics in economics.

Hillary and I both like to use our gear until it falls apart.
Hillary's old red backpack was finally ripping and my main backpack, which was great for commuting by bike was severely lacking in storage capacity. So I did a tiny bit of research, headed to MEC and bought a decent daypack.
We used it for the flight out to Ontario in August 2018 and we both liked it enough that the first one we got became Hillary's. I ordered another identical one online. I've used mine almost every time I leave the house since then. Hillary's has been harder to deal with for probably obvious reasons.
Last Saturday, the kids were going to head down to White Rock with my parents, so I had to pack a bag with some spare clothes and other sundries. I elected to use Hillary's bag for it. As I rooted around trying to empty out anything that the kids didn't need I shoved my hand into the small front pocket.
And pulled out a handful of pads.
Whelp. Those aren't going to be terribly useful in this house for the foreseeable future.
Feeling very productive, I threw them out. I then went and tossed out any pads or tampons that I could find in any of the usual places I'd seen them stashed away.
Of course, then I proceeded to have an(other) existential crisis, but at least I slightly decluttered.

Q: How to check frequency of MSP430 clock? I'm working on a project in which an MSP430 is used to provide the timing for some stuff where accurate timing is important (it can be off by 10%, but not by 2x).  This is driven by the timer A0 running from the SMCLK clock source in this case.  I would like a self-test function by which I can check that the MSP430 clock is not too far from spec (it is supposed to be 25MHz).  In particular, I am concerned about failure modes (even though unlikely) that drop the MSP430 high speed clock down to a really low value (kHz) even though the chip keeps running: that would be catastrophic as far as the rest of the hardware is concerned.  There is a 32kHz clock from a crystal on this board.
(1) Is there a library function (msp430ware, etc) for checking that the clocks are ok?
(2) Can I use the 32kHz clock to check the high speed clock?  What is the best way of doing that?
(3) What clock integrity features are there on the MSP430?
Thanks!

A:
(2) Can I use the 32kHz clock to check the high speed clock? What is the best way of doing that?

Use two timers: One on the 32kHz, one on the high speed clock. Compare the difference and check that it is in valid rage.

A: (2) Use two timers, one from each clock source, and count how many ticks of the high-speed clock happen between two 32 kHz ticks. If the value is out of range, adjust the DCO appropriately.
On chips with the UCS module, the FLL can do this automatically without needing additional resources like timers. You can configure the FLL with the driverlib function UCS_clockSignalInit(UCS_FLLREF,...).
(1),(3) The internal clock sources (VLO, REFO, DCO, or whatever your chip has) cannot really fail. Their only problem is that they might not be very accurate.
The external clock sources are monitored, and have error bits and interrupts. If an external crystal fails, you have to handle this somehow. (The UCS automatically switches to an internal clock source if a crystal fails, but you have to device whether this is appropriate in your application. In your case, if the 32 kHz crystal is replaced with REFO, the clock is still withing the 10% bounds.)

On Saturday 22nd September 2018 a group of car club members attended an afternoon of organ recitals at the Harden Uniting Church.
The organ is an 100 year old Dodd organ that has recently had some major restoration work done to the pedal mechanism.
As usual with club outings there were some older cars used, however non were as old as the organ. Below are some of the cars driven to the church.


There is a new trend at Bay Area Museums (at least) to have restaurants or cafeterias that offer "gourmet" sandwiches, made with organic and/or high quality ingredients, in new and interesting convinations. Among these the cafeteria at the Bay Area Discovery Museum, the restaurant the the Monterey Bay Aquarium and the Grow Cafe at the California Academy of Sciences come to mind. The Oakland Museum could not be less, and its restaurant could actually be the best of the bunch.
Its menu includes soups, salads and sandwiches, as well as a "daily special" for each day of the week. Thursday is meatloaf, Sunday is the "curry of the day," and other offerings include a vegetarian tart and an herbed chicken. They also have a soup, sandwich and quesadilla special each day. For kids, you have your choice of a hotdog or a mini-pizza ($4). They also have cookies, bars and slices of cake, as well as fruit salad and bottled and fountain drinks. The prices are on the high side, a small fountain coke is $1.70 (I think) and most entrees are in the $7-9 range. They are quite generous, however.
Today I had the Southwestern Tri-tip sandwich, a cold sandwich with roasted tri-tip (which is really not that different than roast beef), lettuce, tomato, beans and corn and some tasty mayo. It came with a small mixed-green salad with a simple, not too tasty vinaigrette. I exchanged the greens for the lettuce in the salad, and that worked well. The sandwich itself was quite good. Desiree had a turkey sandwich, which she liked. They also had a couscous salad and a fruit salad, which again they enjoyed. My kids ate up the cheese pizza – it's good enough for an adult – and we all enjoyed the soft chocolate chip cookie, the melt-in-your-mouth dark chocolate chips were excellent. A lemon bar was too runny, but still very good.
You can enjoy lunch in their large dining room, while listening to live jazz – or eat in the outside veranda, a particularly nice option in summer (though, with little kids prone to running away, not one we can enjoy).
In all, we love this place and always make a point of eating there when we visit the Oakland Museum.


Michael graduated from the University of Georgia in 1988 with a BBA in Finance. He created a TV show called Extreme Mike in which he, a physically challenged adventurer, would participate in various high-adrenaline and seemingly dangerous activities, such as skydiving. The point was to show the audience that we all could live a more active and rewarding lifestyle if we'd be willing to face our fears. Michael traveled the country speaking to schools, corporations and associations about the same message. The Extreme Mike show aired on PBS and was nominated for a regional Emmy. Michael wrote many articles as well that were published on the Web and in magazines, and he was interviewed on TBS and also CNN for several worldwide broadcasts.
Before getting involved in the TV show, Michael was in franchise development and sales with a desktop publishing franchise that he co-created. Michael has also been a franchise broker, financial planner, network administrator, and held various other jobs over the years. Michael is an extreme sports enthusiast and enjoys traveling. He currently resides in Atlanta, GA.

Q: Finding number of ways to put four balls in k bins I'm trying to calculate how many ways we can put four indistinguishable balls in n indistinguishable bins, given that the maximum each bin can hold is r balls.

A: If both the balls and bins are indistinguishable, then with sufficiently many bins, it doesn't matter which bins have balls in them.  For instance, if we arrange the bins in a line, and place balls in them, you can reorder the bins by decreasing number of balls.  The only way to distinguish the bins and balls is to count how many balls are in a bin.
With this in mind, for $n \ge 4$, there are three distinct arrangements:

*

*Each of the balls is in a different bin.

*Two balls are in different bins, and the remaining two balls are together in a third bin.

*Two balls are in one bin, and the other two balls are in a different bin.

There are no other arrangements with a maximum limit of two balls per bin.
If $n \le 3$, then we need to consider each case:

*

*If $n = 1$, no arrangements are possible.

*If $n = 2$, then there is only one arrangement--two balls per bin.

*If $n = 3$, then there are two arrangements--two balls per bin, or one ball in each of two bins, and two balls in the third.

So the answer is $\min(n-1, 3)$ for all positive integer $n$.

But I don't think that indistinguishable bins is what was intended.  The question is much more interesting if the bins are distinguishable.  To this end, suppose each ball goes in a distinct bin.  Then the number of such configurations is simply $\binom{n}{4}$, since we are picking four of the $n$ bins to place the balls.
Now consider the case where two balls go into one bin, and the remaining two balls go into distinct bins.  So there are three distinct bins, and from the previous reasoning, $\binom{n}{3}$ ways to choose those bins.  Then there are $3$ ways to pick which of those bins gets the additional ball, so the number of such outcomes is $3 \binom{n}{3}$.
Finally, consider the case where two balls go into each of two distinct bins.  We can do this in $\binom{n}{2}$ ways.  Unlike the previous case, there is no multiplicative factor because once the two bins are chosen, each one must be given two balls, and the balls are indistinguishable.

Not far off the Pacific Coast Highway along the Central Coast of California, you'll find one of the state's hidden treasures. The Paso Robles wine country. Here you'll find picturesque vineyards, delicious wine, mouthwatering food, luxurious resorts, and more.
It's only a few hour drive from Los Angeles or San Francisco, and basically half way between the two. If you're looking for a weekend escape you'll find the perfect getaway in Paso Robles, California. Or make it a stop along your trip around California.
Note: You'll find affiliate links in this post which allow me to continue to improve Traveling Nine to Fiver. I hope this article on planning a getaway in Paso Robles is useful for you.
Start off your trip by relaxing in a little luxury. If you're looking for a resort feel during your getaway in Paso Robles look no further than the Allegretto Vineyard Resort. This beautiful property has everything you'll need for a relaxing weekend while being tucked up in the vines.
If you'd rather stay right downtown and avoid driving during your weekend the Paso Robles Inn is located just off the Paso Robles Square. Below you'll learn a little more about why you don't have to go far to get the most out of Paso Robles.
If you're looking to save a little without giving up the amenities check out the Black Oak Best Western Plus. Another one of the Best Western Plus properties scattered around California wine countries that will pleasantly surprise you.
All of my favorite wine country towns have squares right in the center of them and Paso Robles is no exception. What makes the squares or plazas so great is that they allow you to find just about everything you need for a getaway in one place.
Do you want to go wine tasting without worrying about a driver? Then just wander around the square and nearby streets and you'll have more than you can make it to. Want to eat a progressive meal to give a few places a try?
Want to eat a progressive meal to give a few places a try? You can have drinks at one spot, appetizers+ at the next, dinner a door down, and then wrap it up with dessert somewhere new.
On top of that, you'll find adorable stores and galleries. Giving you a chance to bring home some local keepsakes to remember you trip from.
The city of Paso Robles is filled with countless places worth stopping in for a bite. You can head over to the Tin City area or in right in downtown. On top of that, a variety of the wineries in the area serve food as well, more than most regions. Meaning no matter where you are in the region you'll be able to find a tasty bite.
Three spots I enjoyed during a recent trip that you shouldn't miss include The Hatch, right at the square. A perfect place to start your evening for their craft cocktails and savory appetizers. I loved their burrata plate. A spot you'll find filled with more locals that visitors.
In the morning you'll want to take a short drive over to Joe's Place. It's just south of downtown and worth taking the trip for. It looks like a simple diner in a cute old house on the hill, but the food was exceptional. Perfectly cooked hashbrowns and a loaded omelet were exactly what I needed before a day of wine tasting.
The Paso Robles area is known for its wineries and there are many reasons why it should be. Justin is one of the best known in the region and well worth a stop. You'll also want to visit Grey Wolf and Barton Family Wines, which is home to two different labels and great wines at a variety of price points. They also have a beautiful back patio to enjoy on a nice day and serve some great food. Not far you'll also find Treana, another spot worth popping into.
If you're traveling with others who aren't big wine drinkers there will be something they will enjoy in the region. What Paso Robles also has is a variety of other types of beverages to taste. You can start with Firestone Walker Brewing, best known for 805. Pop in for a beer tasting and some lunch. If you're more into cider you'll want to visit Tin City Cider. If spirits are more your thing you also have Krobar Craft Distillery who create gin, whiskey, and brandy.
For me, a wine country getaway needs a little luxury, some good food, and even better wine. Paso Robles has that and more. Making it a perfect getaway from the craziness of everyday life.
If you're looking for one more reason to visit, it's the ease to add the coast to your trip. Pop down to Pismo Beach or over to Cambria. Both cute little beach towns worth visiting. Or head down just a few miles down the road to visit the hot spring in the area.
What's your favorite thing to do on a wine country getaway? Have you been to Paso Robles before? Leave a comment below.

Martin Schilling, a German-born retired Raytheon Co. executive who helped
develop the world's first large ballistic missile, died April 30 from heart
failure. He was 88. Schilling worked with Wernher von Braun in Peenemünde,
Germany, during World War II to develop the once dreaded 47-foot-long V-2
missile. About 1,000 V-2s were fired in London during the war, and some
4,000 were launched against Allied soldiers. Schilling was recruited in
1940 by the Peenemünde team because he had a Ph. D. in applied physics, and
could be valuable in the development of missiles. He eventually became
technical director of the German Army test organization at Peenemünde. At
the end of the war, von Braun and 126 Peenemünde scientists, including
Schilling, were brought to Fort Bliss in Texas, where they continued to
develop rocketry. The team was then moved to Huntsville, Ala, where they
launched America's first satellite into space in 1958. Later that year,
Schilling joined Raytheon, headquartered in Lexington, one of the world's
largest electronics and missile system contractors.
Veteran astronaut James D. Wetherbee (Capt., USN) will command the eighth
Space Shuttle mission to visit the International Space Station on a flight
in 2001 to rotate space station crews and continue space station assembly.
Joining Wetherbee on the flight deck for STS-102 aboard Discovery will be
Pilot James M. Kelly (Lt. Col., USAF). Rounding out the crew are Mission
Specialists Andy Thomas, Ph.D., Paul Richards, and previously assigned
space station Expedition 2 crew members, Yuri V. Usachev, James S. Voss
(Col., USA, Ret.) and Susan J. Helms (Col., USAF). The major objectives of
the mission are to replace the space station Expedition 1 crew members Bill
Shepherd, Yuri Gidzenko, and Sergei Krikalev with the Expedition 2 crew;
perform two space station assembly spacewalks; and deliver equipment for
the U.S. Destiny Laboratory Module on the first flight of the Italian-built
Leonardo logistics module. STS-102 will be Wetherbee's fifth mission, and
his fourth as commander. Selected as an astronaut in 1984, he flew as pilot
on STS-32 in 1990, and as commander on STS-52 in 1992, STS-63 in 1995, and
STS-86 in 1997. Thomas first flew in space on STS-77 in 1996, and then was
carried to the Mir space station aboard STS-89 in 1998 and returned aboard
STS-91 after 141 days in space.Kelly and Richards, selected as astronauts
in 1996, will be on their first space mission.
Veteran Shuttle astronaut and senior Space Shuttle manager Loren J. Shriver
has departed from NASA/Kennedy Space Center effective March 31, 2000.
Shriver has since been named the deputy program manager of operations for
NASA's prime contractor for the Shuttle program, United Space Alliance in
Houston, TX. Shriver served as the deputy director for launch and payload
processing at KSC, since Aug. 17, 1997. In this capacity, he provided
executive leadership, strategic planning, and direction for Kennedy's
agency-assigned responsibilities as the center of excellence for launch and
payload processing systems which encompasses Space Shuttle processing and
launch; payload processing, including the preparation of International
Space Station elements; payload carriers; and expendable launch vehicles.
Shriver has held key Shuttle management positions at Kennedy for the past
seven years and was previously the Space Shuttle program manager for launch
integration, since May 14, 1993. In this capacity, he was responsible for
final Shuttle preparation, mission execution, and return of the orbiter to
Kennedy following landings at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif. From October
1992, he served as deputy chief of the astronaut office at the Johnson
Space Center in Houston. Selected as an astronaut by NASA in January 1978,
he was assigned as pilot for the first Department of Defense Space Shuttle
mission, STS-10, in 1982. That mission was canceled, but he subsequently
flew on three space flights: a Department of Defense mission, STS-51C, in
1985; the Hubble Space Telescope deployment mission, STS-31, in 1990; and
the mission to release the European Retrievable Carrier (EURECA) satellite,
STS-46, in 1992. Altogether, he logged over 386 hours in space. Col. Loren

BBTitans: Yemi Dumps Khosi, Kisses Blue Aiva 24 Hours After Biggie Introduced New Housemates
Big Brother Titans housemate, Yemi, seemed to have finally dumped Khosi for a new housemate, Blue Alva, barely 24 hours after Biggie introduced four new housemates.
Naija News reports that Yemi and Blue Alva on Saturday night shared some intimate moments that got many people talking online.
While in bed the male housemates who had begun to show affection for the new female housemate shared their first kiss.
Yemi also assured Blue Alva that if he emerges as Head of the House (HOH), he would pick her as deputy because he wants to share a bed with her and keep her to himself.
The new love interest is coming after Yemi sunk his relationship with Khosi who he had kissed and cuddled before Blue Aiva's arrival.
The duo had decided to remain as friends as it seemed like they were too focused on each other and not mingling with other housemates.

I wish I could just say that if you do X, Y & Z, you'll magically raise millions of dollars for your venture. But unfortunately, that's not how raising capital works.
One key reason for this is that most sources of money, like banks and institutional equity investors (defined as institutions like venture capital firms, private equity firms and corporations that invest), are essentially professional risk managers. That is, they successfully invest or lend money by managing the risk that the money will be repaid or not.
So, your job as the entrepreneur seeking capital is to reduce your investor or lender's risk.
For example, let's say that two entrepreneurs want to open a new restaurant.
Which is the riskier investment?
Entrepreneur A has put together a business plan for the new restaurant.
Entrepreneur B has also put together a business plan for the restaurant…and he has also put together the menu, secured a deal for leasing space, received a detailed contract with a design/build firm, signed an employment agreement with the head chef, etc.
As you can see, each time the restaurant achieves a milestone, the risk to the investor or lender decreases significantly. There are fewer things that can go wrong. And by the time the business reaches its last milestone, it has virtually no risk of failure.
The key point when it comes to raising money is this: you generally do NOT raise ALL the money you need for your venture upfront. You merely raise enough money to achieve your initial milestones. Then, you raise more money later to accomplish more milestones.
Yes, you are always raising money to get your company to the next level. Even Fortune 100 companies do this – they raise money by issuing more stock in order to launch new initiatives. It's an ongoing process-not something you do just once.
The key is to first create your detailed risk mitigating milestone chart. Not only is this helpful for funding, but it will serve as a great "To Do" list for you and make sure you continue to achieve goals each day, week and month that progress your business.
Shoot for listing approximately six big milestones to achieve in the next year, five milestones to achieve next year, and so on for up to 5 years (so include two milestones to achieve in year 5). And alongside the milestones, include the time (expected completion date) and the amount of funding you will need to attain them.
After you create your milestone chart, you need to prioritize. Determine the milestones that youabsolutely must accomplish with the initial funding. Ideally, these milestones will get you to point where you are generating revenues. This is because the ability to generate revenues significantly reduces the risk of your venture; as it proves to lenders and investors that customers want what you are offering.
By setting up your milestones, you will figure out what you can accomplish for less money. And the fact is, the less money you need to raise, the easier it generally is to raise it (mainly because the easiest to raise money sources offer lower dollar amounts).
The other good news is that if you raise less money now, you will give up less equity and incur less debt, which will eventually lead to more dollars in your pocket.
Finally, when you eventually raise more money later (in a future funding round), because you have already achieved numerous milestones, you will raise it easier and secure better terms (e.g., higher valuation, lower interest rate, etc.).
It might surprise you what you can accomplish with less money! So write up your list of risk mitigating milestones and determine which must be done now and which can wait for later, focusing first on what is most likely to generate revenues.

What Does A Cavity Look Like? 5 Cavity Symptoms You Should Never Ignore
OMG these photos are making my teeth hurt.
CoffeeAndMilkGetty Images
Ever had a weird pain in one of your teeth and thought, "Oh no...does this mean I have a cavity?" Of course, only a dentist can tell you for sure, but there are plenty of signs (both visual and physical) that can help you identify whether you're dealing with a cavity or possibly something else. But first, what even is a cavity?
"A cavity is really a hole in your tooth from tooth decay," says Dr. Tricia Quartey, DDS, spokesperson for the American Dental Association. Sounds scary, but they're relatively easy to treat with a dental restoration procedure (fillings, crowns, etc). There's also plenty you can do to prevent cavities (more on that later).
So what are the symptoms of a cavity? These are the five signs you should look out for, along with photos to help you spot potential cavities yourself (#themoreyouknow). If you feel or see any of these things, you should get to the dentist asap to figure out what's going on and get treatment.
You have a toothache
A post shared by L'Atelier Dentaire (@latelier.dentaire)
Cavities are most often caused by acid damage, says Dr. Alice Lee, DDS, Montefiore Medical Center in The Bronx, NY. "This acid is usually created when oral bacteria ferment carbohydrates from the food we eat. This fermentation creates acid."
Acid can break down your tooth's enamel over time, causing overall weakness and worst of all, cavities. This deterioration process can be physically painful, so if you've got a toothache seemingly out of nowhere, it may be a cavity developing.
Your teeth are super sensitive
A post shared by Dr. Rafael Piñeiro (@dr.rafapineiro)
If you naturally have sensitive teeth, this may not be new to you. But if you develop sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods that you didn't have before, you may be feeling the effects of a cavity. "Because cavities start on the outer part of your enamel and there are no nerve endings in the enamel it's hard to tell early on," says Dr. Keith Arbeitman, DDS, of Arbeitman and Shein Dental in New York City. But if cavities are ignored long enough, you'll definitely be able to tell if one has developed, says Dr. Arbeitman. "As it starts progressing to the deeper layer of the tooth and it hits what's called the dentin, that's where things start to get sensitive," he says. Sensitivity equals cavity progression.
And it's not just food that can lead to weak enamel and cavity development, says Arbeitman. "There are other things like medication that you could be taking that could cause dry mouth, which creates a perfect environment for bacteria to run wild," and that can also cause decay and deterioration.
Your teeth are very discolored
A post shared by Martha Grandas (@marthagrandas)
Tooth decay leads to discoloration, says Dr. Lee, so a change in shades, or one particularly dark area on a white tooth, is not a good sign.
You see black spots or holes in your teeth
A post shared by Dr. Tamara Kasmikha, DDS (@dynamicdentaldds)
"Cavities start out white, then you'll see black spots or holes in your teeth," says Dr. Quartey. If you're seeing either of these things, it means your cavity is progressing, and you should schedule a visit to your dentist so they can deal with it before it gets any worse.
You feel pain while eating
A post shared by Dr. H Imran BDS MFDS PGCert (@dr.hannanimranbds)
The holes that form from cavities can even go all the way down to the soft tissue in the center of your tooth. At this point, a cavity will hurt a lot, especially when it gets pushed down on while eating, according to the American Dental Association.
How can I prevent cavities?
There's a reason you were told to brush twice a day as a kid. But too many people are skipping it at night, Dr. Quartey says.
"Your saliva is protective. It helps to neutralize what's in your mouth as a normal washing away process," says Dr. Quartey. But when you go to sleep, this process dramatically decreases, giving all the bacteria in your mouth time to do some serious damage.
But just brushing is not enough. You have to floss too, she says. "With brushing you'll miss 30 percent of what's on your teeth."
There's also a few adjustments you can make during your meals to reduce acid buildup. For example, drink with a straw. "Straws are great because they will help things pass over your teeth," Dr. Quartey says. "And if you are going to drink wine, soda, acidic things, follow it up with water so it doesn't stay on your teeth the whole time."
And if you chew gum, buy some that contains xylitol. It's in a lot of sugarless chewing gum and it helps prevent the growth of the bacteria that cause cavities, says Dr. Quartey.
Can you reverse a cavity?
The short answer is no. "Once tooth structure is lost and a hole develops, the missing tooth structure cannot grow back," says Dr. Lee. Your only solution will be a dental procedure.
But if the tooth structure has been weakened, not lost, meaning it's an early cavity, "diet modification, improved oral hygiene, and the use of fluoride-containing products can help slow down the process and sometimes even arrest the decay," says Dr. Lee. Even if you've had a lot of cavities in the past, it's never too late to start leveling up your oral hygiene routine, and it's always worth it. That set of adult teeth you've got needs to last you a lifetime!

How Dublin's dedicated LGBTQ+ running group came to be
The group gives LGBTQ+ people in Dublin freedom to be themselves while also enjoying something that doesn't involve nightlife
Brian Dillon
Dublin Front Runners (Image: instagram.com/dublinfrontrunners)
When we think of the 'gay scene' in Dublin, our minds often go straight to bars and nightclubs such as The George and Panti Bar.
Although these are fantastic places to have, providing Dublin's LGBTQ+ community with spaces where they can be themselves and enjoy some seriously stellar drag performances, what is out there for LGBTQ+ folk in Dublin who perhaps don't want to go to a bar or nightclub.
That's where groups like Dublin Front Runners comes in to give LGBTQ+ people in Dublin that freedom to be themselves while also enjoying something that doesn't involve nightlife.
Originally set up 16 years ago with a handful of members, the groups popularity has grown significantly, proving that there is indeed a hunger for LGBTQ+ social and fitness groups.
Dublin Front Runners chairperson Conor Byrne tells Dublin Live how the group came top be.
An LGBTQ+ running group
"When it initially started there were only something like 15 to 20 members. It was kind of just a group of friends who all ran together. There is an international Front Runners, like a global organisation.
"The group in Dublin heard about this and decided to get together and set up a Dublin Front Runners, but they're all over the word in places like Sydney, Manchester, London, New York and Boston. It's an LGBTQ+ running group.

Dublin pubs: Drag queen Davina Devine opens up on struggles of not being able to perform during pandemic
Fitness for all
"I think there's this perception of 'the scene' that it's always in a bar or nightclub, and it's always at night with drink involved. In the last couple of years, people have become more concerned with their mental and physical health.
"I think there has been an increase in interest in physical activity and I suppose the misconception is that gay people are only interested in physical activity if it involves the gym, that gay people aren't into the outdoors and they don't partake in physical activity in that way.
"There are so many other gay sports clubs like the Emerald Warriors, Out and About, Wet and Wild, there is now a gay GAA club.
"I think it's a really great outlet to be able to meet other gay people without a pub or a nightclub. The fact that we have nearly 300 members now shows that it is important to other people as well."
More than a running club
"We meet up three times a week; training on Monday and Wednesday evenings, and Saturday morning is more of a social run when we would hang out with each other after.
"We're mainly based in the Phoenix Park but at the end of September we'll switch to a track in Donore Harrier's in Chapelizod.
"I grew up in Wicklow and went to an all-boys school. It wasn't necessarily sporty, but they had football or soccer, which I had zero interest. I think a lot of gay people growing up feel excluded from that because it's much more so a 'heterosexual' sport.
"I think they can feel a little left out unless they happen to be in a school where inclusivity is a thing or where there are more sports available. I think a lot of gay people really only come to sport later in life.
"With running and hiking, it's much more democratic. Your age, physical ability, none of that is necessarily relevant. Anybody can put on a pair of runners and go for a run. It doesn't need to be fast or far, and it doesn't necessarily take a huge amount of training to get you to a level where you're able to do it well and injury free. "

One thing that I hate about some Academy nominated films is that you go out of the movie theatre, feeling that you've been preached, or with a heavy heart due to the complexities of the story and the problems of the character, or just plain dumbfounded because you failed to understand a thing about the movie you just watched. This is somehow the feeling that I am expecting to have before I watched "The Descendants" but I was completely mistaken.
The Descendants is a story about family with George Clooney's character, Matt King, in the center. Matt King is a privileged Honolulu attorney who is tasked to be the trustee of their families inherited properties. His character is a "hapa-haole" or half-white. His great-great-grandmother was Princess Margaret Ke'alohilani, one of the last direct descendants of King Kamehameha, who fell in love with her haole (Hawaiian for white or foreign) banker, Edward King, leading to Matt's current life as a Honolulu lawyer with deep, tangled roots in the islands.
But his rich roots didn't help at all in being a good husband and father to his family. Instead, he became an "understudy" father and a non-existent husband. But after his wife went into a coma after a boating accident, he is compelled to reevaluate his marriage and life. His mischievous daughters don't trust him, his imperiled wife has been cheating on him and his broke cousins see him and the land trust he controls as a piggy bank. To add insult to injury, he's surrounded by a lush, fertile, awe-inspiring landscape that defies his inner turmoil.
The Descendants made me laugh and cry at the same time. George Clooney may be great in the film, but the real rockstars are the writers: Jim Rash, Nat Faxon and Alexander Payne. The movie was a complete irony that worked. A film that may seem to be serious but was full of comedy, a complex storyline and drama. Even the setting speaks a ton that you are not seeing an ordinary movie.
The characters are colorful in their own ways. George Clooney's performance was heartfelt. I must say that this is a stripped down Clooney. Out of the snazzy costumes and portraying a disgruntled father, this is his performance that I liked best so far.
I particularly loved Nick Krause' character "Sid". He stole the scene in almost all those times where he opens his mouth. The banter between him and Clooney was just funny. Amanda Miller's character "Scottie King" may be a little bit shocking but this kid did not cringe a bit in those scenes.
Great ensemble with a moving story. This is one film that proves that you don't need monster special effects to produce a great film. Hoping to see more of Alexander Payne's work.

band on the ventral aspect of the decussating brachia conjunctiva. To its lateral side, and forming an angle with it (as seen in transverse section), is the lateral lemniscus (Figs. 522 and 523), and at this level there is no clear demarcation between these two tracts. In the superior part of the mesencephalon the appearance of the red nucleus in the tegmentum causes the medial lemniscus to take up a more lateral and dorsal position, so that it now comes to lie subjacent to the corpus geniculatum mediale (Fig. 521, p. 587). At this level it exhibits a crescentic outline in transverse section, and the lateral lemniscus has to a large extent disappeared from its lateral side.
A part of the medial lemniscus, which is called the fasciculus bulbothalamicus, takes origin in the inferior part of the medulla oblongata from the gracile and cuneate nuclei of the opposite side (p. 560). Seeing that the posterior funiculus of the spinal medulla ends in these nuclei, the medial lemniscus may be considered to continue that funiculus upwards into the brain. Other fibres arise from the terminal nuclei of the various sensory cerebral nerves of the opposite side. The rest of the tract consists of the superior part of the fasciculus spinothalamicus from the spinal medulla. In the mesencephalon a considerable contribution of fibres is given by the medial lemniscus to the superior colliculus, and then the remainder of the tract proceeds into the lateral (ventro-lateral) nucleus of the thalamus. Here its fibres end amidst the thalamic cells.
Ganglion Interpedunculare and Fasciculus Retroflexus.-Immediately above the pons a small collection of nerve-cells is found in the median plane, wedged in between the two cerebral peduncles. It is all that is found in the human brain to represent a large nucleus projecting into the interpeduncular fossa in most other animals, especially those with a highly developed sense of smell. In this interpeduncular ganglion ends the fasciculus retroflexus, a tract of fibres which comes from the nucleus habenula of the epithalamus. We shall return to the consideration of this tract later.
Fountain Decussation.-If the region ventral to the medial longitudinal bundles is examined in the superior part of the mesencephalon a very close decussation of fibres in the median plane will be observed in the interval between the two red nuclei. This is the "fountain decussation." According to Held, the fibres which take part in the dorsal portion of the fountain decussation (decussation of Meynert) come from the superior colliculi, and, after they have gained the opposite side, they turn downwards in the medial longitudinal fasciculus.
Many of the fibres that cross in this decussation enter a descending tract (fasciculus tecto-bulbaris et spinalis) which connects the corpora quadrigemina with the motor nuclei on the other side of the medulla oblongata and spinal medulla.
Basis Pedunculi.-The basis pedunculi presents a somewhat crescentic outline when seen in transverse section, and it stands quite apart from its fellow of the opposite side. It is composed of a compact mass of longitudinally directed fibres, all of which, as Déjerine has shown, arise in the cortex of the cerebrum and pursue an unbroken corticifugal course into and through the pedunculus cerebri. These fibres may be classified into two distinct sets, viz., cerebro-pontine and pyramidal or cerebro-spinal.
The cerebro-pontine fibres possess this leading character: in their course downwards they are all arrested in the ventral part of the pons, and end amidst the cells of the nuclei pontis. These tracts would appear to hold a very definite Thus, it has been satisfactorily established that the position within the crus. fibres coming from the temporal area of the cerebral cortex (temporo-pontine strand) form the lateral fifth of the basis pedunculi, whilst those coming from the frontal area (fronto-pontine strand) hold a similar position in the medial part of the basis pedunculi.
The pyramidal fibres constitute the great motor tract from the cerebral cortex. They occupy a position corresponding to the middle three-fifths of the basis. The pyramidal tract differs from the cerebro-pontine strands in being carried downwards through the ventral part of the pons and on the ventral aspect of the medulla oblongata into the spinal medulla, which it enters in the form of the fasciculi cerebrospinales lateralis and anterior. On its way through the pons and
medulla oblongata it sends fibres across the median plane to the various motor nuclei on the opposite side of those sections of the brain-stem.
DEVELOPMENT OF THE MESENCEPHALON.
Even in the early embryo the mesencephalon constitutes the smallest section of the brain-tube, although the disproportion in size between it and the other primitive subdivisions of the brain is not nearly so marked as in the adult. Owing to the cephalic flexure, the mid-brain for a time occupies the summit of the head. Later it becomes completely covered over by the expanding cerebral hemispheres.
The corpora quadrigemina are derived from the alar laminæ of the side walls of the brain-tube, whilst the basal lamina thicken and ultimately form the tegmenta. The original cavity of the mid-brain is retained as the aqueduct.
For a considerable time the cavity of the mesencephalon remains relatively large, and the lower part of its dorsal wall is carried downwards in the form of a diverticulum or recess, which overlaps the cerebellar plate. About this time, also, the dorsal wall shows a median fold or ridge. Both of these conditions are transitory. As the corpora quadrigemina take shape, the median ridge disappears and is replaced by the median longitudinal groove, which separates the quadrigeminal bodies. Only its inferior part is retained, and this is represented by the frenulum veli of the adult brain. The diverticulum of the cavity gradually becomes reduced, and finally disappears as the aqueduct assumes form.
The precise mode of origin of the red nucleus is not known.
Later in this account reasons will be given for the belief that the representatives of the neural crests in the region of the mesencephalon become absorbed and assimilated in the walls of the neural tube as it closes in.
THE DEEP CONNEXIONS OF THE CEREBRAL NERVES ATTACHED TO THE MEDULLA OBLONGATA, PONS, AND MESENCEPHALON.
There are twelve pairs of cerebral nerves, of which the inferior eight are attached to the medulla oblongata and pons. From above downwards these are named the trigeminal (fifth), the abducens (sixth), the facial (seventh), the acoustic (eighth), the glossopharyngeal (ninth), the vagus (tenth), the accessory (eleventh), and the hypoglossal (twelfth). Two others, the trochlear (fourth) and oculomotor (third) spring from the mesencephalon. The hypoglossal, the accessory, the greater part of the facial, the abducens, the motor root of the trigeminal, the trochlear and the oculomotor are efferent nerves; the acoustic, the nervus intermedius (sensory root of the facial) and the sensory root of the trigeminal are purely afferent nerves; whilst the vagus and the glossopharyngeal are composed of both efferent and afferent fibres. In all these cases (with a possible reservation in the case of part of the trigeminal) afferent fibres arise from ganglionic cells placed outside the brain and penetrate the brain-stem, to end in connexion with the cells of certain nuclei of termination. Efferent fibres, on the other hand, take origin within the brain as the axons of cells which are grouped together in certain places in the form of nuclei of origin.
Nuclei of Origin, or Motor Nuclei. In the spinal medulla the nuclei of origin are represented by elongated columns of cells which run more or less continuously in the anterior column of gray matter of successive spinal segments, and from these the series of efferent anterior nerve-roots take origin. In the medulla oblongata, pons, and mesencephalon the nuclei of origin, or, in other words, the motor nuclei of the individual nerves, become, for the most part, discontinuous, and are represented by certain isolated clumps of compact gray matter, in which are placed the clusters of cells from which the fibres of the efferent nerves arise. The nucleus ambiguus, however, which consists of a column of cells from which root-fibres of the bulbar part of the accessory, of the vagus, and also of the glossopharyngeal are derived, is an exception to this rule. At the decussation of the pyramids, the anterior column of gray matter of the spinal medulla is broken up by the intercrossing bundles into a detached head and a basal part which remains in relation with the ventrolateral aspect of the central canal. Certain of the efferent nuclei of the medulla oblongata, pons, and mesencephalon lie in the line of the basal portion of the anterior column of gray matter of the spinal medulla, and, thus, close to the median plane. These are termed medial somatic nuclei, and are met with at different levels in the
brain-stem. This group comprises the hypoglossal nucleus, the abducens nucleus and, in the mesencephalon, the trochlear nucleus and part of the oculomotor nucleus. Other motor nuclei of origin are present in the form of isolated clumps or columns of gray matter, which lie at different levels in the medulla oblongata and pons in a more lateral and deeper situation. They are the nucleus ambiguus of the accessory, vagus and glossopharyngeal, the facial nucleus, and the nucleus of the motor root of the trigeminal nerve. From their position in the substantia reticularis of the medulla oblongata and pons they constitute a group to which the name of lateral somatic nuclei is applied.
In addition to these two columns of motor nuclei there is a third efferent column of splanchnic nuclei represented by the dorsal nucleus of the vagus and glossopharyngeal nerves, and similar nuclei emitting sympathetic fibres into the

The different nuclei of origin of the efferent fibres which belong to the various cerebral nerves, both medial and lateral, are connected with the motor area of the cerebral cortex by fibres of the cerebro-spinal tract of the other side, which enter the nuclei and end in association with their cells.
Nuclei Terminales.-The general scheme of arrangement of the terminal nuclei has already been explained (Fig. 526); its details will be further elucidated as the various nerves are considered seriatim.
The axons of many of the cells of the nuclei of termination enter the substantia reticularis as arcuate fibres, and, crossing the median plane, are carried upwards in the substantia reticularis of the opposite side, to establish direct connexions with the thalamus and, indirectly through it, with the cerebral cortex (Fig. 525). Others pass to the nuclei of motor nerves, to the cerebellum or other groups of nerve-cells, to form connexions necessary for the performance of reflex actions.
Nervus Hypoglossus.-The nucleus of origin of the hypoglossal nerve, the motor nerve of the tongue, lies in the substance of the medulla oblongata. It is composed of several groups of large multipolar cells, which closely resemble the cells in the anterior column of gray matter in the spinal medulla, and is pervaded by an intricate network of fine fibrils. In form it is elongated and rod-like, and in length it is about 18 mm. It extends from a point immediately above the decussation of the pyramids up to the level of the striæ medullares. The inferior portion of the nucleus is thus placed in the closed part of the medulla oblongata (Fig. 494, p. 561), whilst its superior part is situated in the open part (Fig. 495, p. 561). The former lies in that part of the central gray matter which is continuous with the basal part of the anterior column of gray matter of the

spinal medulla. It is thus placed on the anterior and lateral aspect of the central canal, close to the median plane and the corresponding nucleus of the opposite side. The superior part of the nucleus occupies a position in the gray matter on the floor of the fourth ventricle, subjacent to the medial part of the surface area, which has been described under the name of the trigonum hypoglossi. Within the nucleus the axons of the cells arrange themselves in converging bundles of fine fibres, which come together and leave the ventral aspect of the nucleus as the fila radicularia of the nerve. The nerve bundles thus formed traverse the entire antero-posterior thickness of the medulla oblongata, between the substantia reticularis grisea and the substantia reticularis alba, and emerge on the surface, in linear order, at the bottom of the furrow between the olive and the pyramid. After they emerge these fibres collect to form three definite bundles like the anterior nerve-roots of three spinal nerves (Fig. 527). In the substance of the medulla oblongata the fila radicularia of the
hypoglossal pass between the main inferior olivary nucleus and the medial accessory olivary nucleus, and many of them on their way to the surface pierce the ventral lamina of the main olivary nucleus.
No decussation between the nerves of opposite sides takes place in the medulla oblongata, but commissural fibres pass between the two nuclei (Kölliker). Further, numerous fibres from the opposite pyramidal tract enter the nucleus and end in connexion with its cells. The nucleus is thus brought into connexion with the motor area of the opposite side of the cerebral cortex.
Nervus Accessorius.-The accessory nerve also is a motor nerve, and it is generally described as consisting of a spinal and a cerebral or accessory part.
The spinal part of the nerve emerges by a series of roots which issue from the surface of the lateral column of the superior part of the spinal medulla as low down as the fifth cervical nerve. These take origin in a column of cells situated in the anterior column of gray matter of the spinal medulla, close to its lateral margin, and

immediately behind the nerve-cells which give rise to the fibres of the anterior roots of the upper five cervical nerves. The cells of the accessory nucleus are large, multipolar, and in every respect similar to the motor cells of the spinal nerves. The axons from these cells leave the dorsal aspect of the nucleus in converging groups to form the fila radicularia or root-bundles of the nerve. These, in the first place, proceed straight backwards in the anterior column of gray matter. Reaching the bay between the two columns of gray matter, they turn sharply laterally into the white matter and traverse the lateral funiculus to gain their points of exit from the spinal medulla. At the decussation of the pyramids, fila, which join the accessory nerve, are seen to proceed from the detached head of the anterior column of gray matter.
The cerebral part of the accessory nerve has its nucleus of origin in the medulla oblongata; and its fila, as they proceed laterally from this, can be distinguished by the fact that they pursue a course on the ventral side of the tractus spinalis of the trigeminal nerve, whereas the vagus roots, with which they are apt to be confused, pass through or lie on the dorsal aspect of the trigeminal root (Kölliker). The nucleus of origin of the cerebral part of the accessory nerve is formed by the same column of cells which constitutes the nucleus ambiguus, and which, at a higher level, gives motor fibres to the vagus and glossopharyngeal nerves.
The part of the accessory nerve which takes origin in the spinal medulla supplies the sterno-mastoid and trapezius muscles. The cerebral portion joins the vagus, and through the external laryngeal and recurrent nerves it supplies the muscles of the larynx. The portion of

A little known rule: No, I'm not a robot
Home A little known rule: No, I'm not a robot
The American Conservatives rules are getting a little more relaxed with the release of their newest rules, with the introduction of a rule that says you cannot be a robot in any video game.
The rules, which can be found at the bottom of this article, are a bit confusing at first glance.
You'll notice the words "a robot is a character" at the top, followed by a "nude robot" at bottom.
Then you'll see a rule saying, "A character is defined as a character that is not visible."
And then, you'll notice another rule saying you can only play as a nude robot if it has no visible parts.
The rule for nudity is pretty straightforward: you can't play a naked robot unless you have a body.
But the rules also include a rule for a robot's parts.
In this case, a naked robotic is defined to include all parts that are part of a robot, including hands, arms, head, eyes, ears, etc. The only difference is that if the robot has a head, that part must have visible parts in order to be a head.
The two rules are separated by a comma, but the former rule applies only to a game that doesn't have a nudity rule.
The latter rule applies to all games.
So the rule that only applies to video games does not apply to anime figures.
So if you want to play an anime figure, you're out of luck.
But that's not a bad thing, because if you're playing a game with nudity, you can play a nude anime figure.
If you're a fan of the anime series Dragon Ball, this is not the case.
The anime series has always had a nudity restriction in place.
But for the anime, this rule was very different from games in the series, which have a separate rule that prohibits characters from showing their genitals.
In Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F', for example, Goku is seen having sex with a naked Vegeta.
In the anime franchise, it was clear that Goku and Vegeta were having sex in the anime.
The nudity restriction was intended to allow the viewers to feel the sexual tension that Dragon Ball had, and it did.
However, the nudity restriction also created problems for fans.
Dragon Ball fans had to play through the anime and figure scenes in order for the nudity to be visible.
It took a while for fans to understand why the nudity rule was being removed from the series and was eventually removed in the second season of Dragon Ball Super.
So, fans of Dragon

Another adrenaline rush in Kentucky this past Saturday. Alas, there was no Bluegrass Miracle this time. Kentucky stunned the former Number 1 team in Lexington.
Picking up where LSU left off the prior week, the Tigers suffered through penalties (12 for 103 yards) in the regular session and in overtime. They are the second most penalized time in the conference. The Tigers couldn't shake poor play by the receivers. Brandon Lefell dropped six passes in the game.
The Tigers benefited from RB Charles Scott's explosive play in the first half, but he didn't get many carries in the second half and was the ball carrier on the ill-fated fourth down play that ended the game in triple overtime .
Ryan Perilloux was MIA in overtime and wasn't used in heavy rotation in the second half.
LSU still controls their destiny and is currently tied atop the SEC West standings with Auburn and Alabama which coincidently are the Tiger's next two opponents.
Early Doucet made an appearance in overtime, but he was not thrown to. Either he was used on the play as a decoy or Coach Miles is trying to throw off Auburn by getting them to prepare for a stud receiver that may not line up next week against them.
We'll see later this week.
