Psychological monitoring of pilots : should it be reinforced?
Aircraft manufacturers increasingly rely on non-destructive testing (NDT) for continued airworthiness of their products. In order to certify and guarantee that an aircraft's metal parts and structures are robust, without destroying them, an NDT technician performs non-destructive tests.
Several processes such as ultrasonic testing, radiography, eddy-current testing, magnetic particle or dye penetrant tests, ensure that the parts are totally free of defects.
These checks can be carried out on new parts, fresh of the production lines, before they are marketed. Similar tests can be done on used parts, the life cycle of which can then be extended. If no defects are found, the part may be marketed, certified or returned to service. But if tests reveal even the slightest defect, the part is discarded.
This video is great! Thank you for bringing more public awareness to the field of NDT inspection! It is typically an afterthought. Our company www.d-arrowinspections.com takes great pride in what we do, so to see someone bringing the public eye to our field of work is extraordinary in my opinion!

Aaron Sheehan as Orphée ( Kathy Wittman photo)
This season's BEMF Chamber Opera offerings were two interrupted and in these performances fascinatingly conjoined works by Marc-Antoine Charpentier (1643-1704): the charming pastorales La Couronne de Fleurs and La Descente d'Orphée aux Enfers. There was much to enchant the attendees at Jordan Hall this past Saturday evening, just as there will be for those within the Rockport Music Festival's seaside Shalin Liu Performance Center tonight.
With a minimum of scenic support, BEMF's Dance Ensemble, Chamber (Instrument) Ensemble, and Vocal Ensemble were interwoven by Stage Director Gilbert Blin's wonderfully imaginative visual plan for these two somewhat disparate tales.
One entered Jordan Hall to behold an intriguing sight: a stage floor bedecked with a large circle of flowers, a slumbering woodland nymph, her back turned to the audience and resting on an imagined bank, birdsongs filling the air, and a group of chairs and instruments within the floral circle. Other than some interesting background lighting there were no sets or stage appurtenances other than this. I was a bit surprised, remembering the ingenious sets that had enhanced Blin's earlier settings for BEMF's chamber operas, but as it turned out, there was plenty to come that would obviate any sense of visual deprivation. And, truth be told, the Jordan Hall stage would not have been as accommodating for the sets of yore as the smaller stages of past presentations had been.
Blin's scheme to unite these two operas was at once ingenious and one that had a possible historic antecedent. As he stated in his note: "It is likely that La Couronne des Fleurs (LCF) was in 1685 a circumstantial piece linked to a real poetic contest, La Descente d'Orphée aux Enfers (LDOE), which is dated from 1686, was without doubt an opera to be performed on stage…While having all the dramatic elements that follow the style of French opera of the period, LDOE is an incomplete dramatic composition…the score stops at the end of the second act….Charpentier's unfinished manuscript leaves us with many questions…importantly, why didn't he finish it?"
Blin's note goes on to explain why he chose to conjoin the two operas as an opportunity to create "…the concept of 'theatre within the theater'…" as "…La Courrone de Fleurs is already constructed to include the successive telling of four stories. The tale of Orpheus is simply presented as another entry in the poetic contest. As the plot of LCF also contains an interruption – a character gives the order to stop the poetic contest – we can interrupt the performance of LDOE, just as the manuscript imposes."
Further, the court composer of the time, Lully, possessed a royal privilege that allowed only operatic performances of his own works. This Blin used as an opportunity to have a costumed actor (Ryan Began) impersonating Lully imperiously halt the proceedings, a neat visual and dramatic means of "justifying" LDOE's interruption.
I've spent time on all this before getting to the actual reviewing of the production to underscore the high-mindedness of Blin's conceptions and BEMF's brave realizations of them. It's for reasons such as these that these biennial festivals have garnered such worldwide appeal and fascination, and why Boston's reputation as a home for world-class early music performances has grown to the extent it has.

Now, on to the performances. The compelling beauty of the stage movements of the singers and dancers were the work of Melinda Sullivan. She must have enjoyed staging dances for her colleague Carlos Fittante, who was a lead co-choreographer in BEMF's Almira production. The other lithe dancers were Olsi Gjeci, Caitlin Klinger, and Alexis Silver. The BEMF Vocal Ensemble featured Mireille Asselin, Jesse Blumberg, Lydia Brotherton, Michael Kelly, Olivier Laquerre, Thea Lobo, Jason McStoots, Carrie Henneman Shaw, Aaron Sheehan, and Megan Stapleton. Of these there were many mellifluous moments of elegant ensemble singing, and really fine solo singing and acting by tenor Aaron Sheehan as a golden-voiced Orphée, whose strummed lute calms the underworld's Furies, and the shepherds Mirtil and Florestan, the former sung by the vocally splendid baritone Michael Kelly, and the latter by BEMF's busiest gifted tenor/actor Jason McStoots. The blossom-bequeathing Flore of LCF was nicely essayed by soprano Mireille Asselin. In LDOE, Jesse Blumberg was appropriately powerful and stern as Pluton, God of the Underworld, a perfect contrast to Asselin, who in this opera sang the role of Proserpine, the wife of Pluton who feels Orphée's pain and convinces her husband to allow Euridice, here sung quite sympathetically by Carrie Henneman Shaw, to leave Hades in the company of her musical husband. Olivier Laquerre as Apollon was regally musical and poetic. The beautiful costumes were once again by Anna Watkins. Throughout the evening the immensely talented BEMF Chamber Ensemble played with great panache, "chaired" by Paul O'Dette and Steven Stubbs, and led by the sensitive and musical violinist/Concertmaster Robert Mealy, Gonzalo X. Ruiz and Kathryn Montoya spectacular with their oboes and recorders. All these players, indeed, as legitimate characters in the dramas, elevated the essential instrumental accompaniments to heights of virtuosity.
As I hope is clear, this was an evening of shared brilliance from all of the production's participants, both on the stage and behind the scenes. Kudoses for all of them.
Of several indelible visual memories, two stand out: the sheer fabric-shrouded fantômes of the underworld, who as they mutely and dolorously observed the surrounding goings-on, were so ingeniously costumed that they appeared hauntingly two-dimensional in contrast with their fellow underworld denizens; and the shiver-inducing beauty of the final moments of the evening, when all the characters of La Currone de Fleurs encircled the orchestra and slowly bowed to those wonderful players in courtly fashion in obeisance and thanks for making their singing and dancing so affective and memorable. I suspect many in the audience would have been happily with them on stage to add their gratitude.

Call David!
Legal Assistant's workflow disrupted by Adobe update.
Caroline is a legal assistant at a small law office in Vancouver. She's new on the job and replaces the previous secretary who has recently moved on to new opportunities. David helped the former assistant for years and knew her workflow well. Caroline, new to the job has decided to convince her boss to upgrade to the newest version of Adobe Acrobat.
Instead of spending time figuring out the new program on her own, she calls David and spends 15 minutes interactively re-discovering her old workflow in the new software.
Software companies can be very disruptive with their upgrades, and it's always helpful to have someone to call who can walk you through the changes so you can get back to work and minimize disruptions.
While on the call, David reminds Caroline to review her service notes from the previous call, which contain some necessary items for her to follow up on.
Caroline is now up to speed with the new software and is well on her way to establishing a good rapport with her new boss.
Kitchen Designer wants new laptop without Windows 10!
Lisa is a Kitchen Designer and uses specialized AutoCAD software in her daily workflow. David has worked with Lisa as far back as 1994, and knows her workflow well. Lisa is ready for a new laptop, but doesn't want Windows 10 because she's concerned about compatibility with some of her specialized design software.
Lisa, having not shopped for a new computer in years, has a vague idea what to look for in a new system. So she calls David, and he starts asking her questions about her current machine. Through the questions, he discovers what Lisa doesn't like in her old laptop. David then presents her with a list of what she does want, based on what she doesn't want. This new clarity forms the basis for her new laptop shopping criteria. She goes away for a couple of weeks and hunts around for laptops online (her choice) and comes back to David with a shortlist she thinks she likes. David, completely unbiased, reviews the laptops, checks the reports, and makes a recommendation based on his extensive knowledge of the direction of hardware, and her unique needs. Lisa places the order online with the vendor of choice and waits for delivery.
In the meantime, David and Lisa make an upgrade checklist, so everyone is ready for the new machine to arrive.
A few weeks later, the machine clears US customs, and the update begins. Using the checklist, David walks Lisa through the initial setup to the point where she has an internet connection and TeamViewer. David takes over, and they interactively complete the remainder of the upgrade.
Upgrade complete, David updates Lisa's notes in Google Docs and adds several follow up reminders for the next few weeks to allow Lisa to discover and then iron out any bugs in her new workflow.
Result. Lisa is up to speed on her new computer and more productive than ever. She never once had to leave her sensitive information and machines in the hands of strangers in some big box store. She saved time driving around, returning calls, and dealing with misunderstood requirements.
A long-term working relationship with your techie allows you to get the upgraded technology that best fits your needs. The longer you work with them, the better they understand your needs and can help you optimize your important purchase decisions.
Retired client unsure she should upgrade to Windows 10 or not.
Microsoft Windows 10 Update keeps nagging Gwen, a lovely lady in her 70's. Microsoft's upgrade tactics are getting more and more tricky, and Gwen is worried she'll click the wrong button, so she calls David. David has known and helped Gwen keep her old computer running for several years, and David knows Gwen doesn't like change. He advises her of the tactics and trickery and shows her how to avoid the upgrade, so her computer and operating system will remain unchanged.
David could easily take advantage of the situation and recommend the upgrade, but he knows Gwen's memory is not as good as it used to be and she doesn't want the stress. David's policy is never to pressure his customers.
David puts Gwen's mind at each over the course of a ten-minute call. He then adds a reminder to follow up with Gwen in a few weeks to see how she's doing.

I've done the first one. I've also done things involving shopping carts and tall hills. …And yet I'd balk at the latter. Baby-Germs? Yeugh! You're braver than you'd admit!

If the bugs are standing with their arms to their sides, they blend in with the black part of their body. For example: Nerd Bug and Old Lady Bug in the 3rd panel, and Sister (or sister-in-law) Bug in the 4th.
I'm starting to see why Niece Bug picked up the Uzi.
You can almost imagine kid bug yelling at the ground "COME AT ME BRO!" And so it did.
I'm brave on rollercoasters. I love upside-down ones. But, i'm too scared to do most dangerous things. A few kind of dangerous things I do: Soicalize with a slightly evil person, climb a fence and eat unclean mulberries, hang upside-down on a jungle gym with no hands, and maybe other stuff.

Q: PostGIS slow ST_Intersection I'm trying get get intersections between one straight line and some contour lines. Using the SQL below:
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS v_line;
SELECT st_geomfromtext('linestring(103.492217095662 30.9300260311043,103.494817217263 30.9200436767033)',4326) as geom INTO v_line;
SELECT a.gid,a.height, ST_AsText(ST_Intersection(b.geom, a.geom))
FROM contour_cb9eba as a,v_line as b
WHERE ST_Intersects(b.geom,a.geom);

But the query takes tens of seconds to finish. I have tuned the postgresql, doesn't help. I have create index on contour table, doesn't help. the Explain is below:
Nested Loop  (cost=0.14..665.47 rows=37 width=44)
  ->  Seq Scan on v_line b  (cost=0.00..23.60 rows=1360 width=32)
  ->  Index Scan using contour_cb9eba_geom_idx on contour_cb9eba a  (cost=0.14..0.41 rows=1 width=746174)
        Index Cond: (b.geom && geom)
        Filter: _st_intersects(b.geom, geom)

the explain analyze is below:
Nested Loop  (cost=0.14..665.47 rows=37 width=44) (actual time=245.343..4629.091 rows=23 loops=1)
  ->  Seq Scan on v_line b  (cost=0.00..23.60 rows=1360 width=32) (actual time=0.011..0.013 rows=1 loops=1)
  ->  Index Scan using contour_cb9eba_geom_idx on contour_cb9eba a  (cost=0.14..0.41 rows=1 width=746174) (actual time=114.466..803.730 rows=23 loops=1)
        Index Cond: (b.geom && geom)
        Filter: _st_intersects(b.geom, geom)
        Rows Removed by Filter: 40
Planning time: 0.235 ms
Execution time: 4629.272 ms

The contour table has only 82 rows but with many vertices up to almost 80000.
Is there any way to make ST_Intersection faster?

A: Can you can split the contour lines into smaller lines, carrying the same attribute information?  Then the spatial index will be more effective.
This is the same idea as using ST_Subdivide for polygons.  It might be nice if there was an analogous function for lines, but it's fairly easy to write SQL to do this.

Carolina Express was formed by brothers Jonah and Grayson Riddle. Jonah is 17, and Grayson is 12. Growing up in the mountains of western North Carolina, Jonah has been playing the banjo for 4 and ½ years. From the first time he picked up the instrument, he fell in love. He started out playing at church three times a week. Because he enjoys bluegrass and gospel music so much, he decided to start his own band – Jonah Riddle & Carolina Express. Jonah's brother, Grayson, plays guitar and does vocals. He has been playing guitar for almost 2 years. From the time he was only 5 years old, he would pick the guitar at church services. Jonah and Grayson credit the Lord for their playing and singing talent. Their dad, Benjie Riddle, plays the upright bass.
Jonah and Grayson have had the privilege of picking on stage with many great artists: Doyle Lawson, Darin & Brooke Aldridge, Balsam Range, Ralph Stanley II, Nu Blue, Ricky Skaggs, J.D. Crowe, and Kody Norris. They have performed at many concerts and venues across the country, including: The Ryman Auditorium Courtyard, Dollywood, the North Carolina State Fair in Raleigh, Woodsongs, the Lyric Theatre in Kentucky, Houstonfest, the Orchard at Altapass, the North Carolina State Bluegrass Festival, Bluegrass First Class in Asheville, North Carolina, the Earl Scruggs Center, the Pickin' Porch, the Museum of Appalachia, the Carter Fold and the World-Renown WDVX Blue Plate Special in Knoxville, TN.

Program for those who considers intermediate and advanced level. Make memorable pictures for you and your friends or family members on the white dazzling snow. It would be one of a great experience during your stay. Optionally you can enjoy snow slide with your lovely kids, too.
You would want to wear your ski outfit one size larger than your actual size so you would be able to move more comfortably. Also, those who want to have their pictures taken while skiing we would recommend you to wear bright coloured clothes. If you wear a dark outfit over the white snow it tends to make your face to look darker so, it would be best to wear fluorescent bright colours to allow you face to look brighter and to look more like a professional skier in your pictures.

46 years after being convicted of murder, two men look to clear their names
By Thomas O'Neil-White • Jul 10, 2020
In early January 1976, 62-year-old William Crawford was robbed and murdered after leaving a tavern on Buffalo's East Side. The alleged assailants, five teenagers, were arrested and three were convicted of murder and spent a combined total of 84 years in prison despite pleading their innocence.
Credit Thomas O'Neil-White
Two of those teenagers, John Walker Jr, and Darryl Boyd, are calling on Erie County District Attorney John Flynn to take another look at the case.
Standing outside of the Erie County Court Building Friday, Boyd said it isn't just the members of the "Buffalo 5" who have been negatively affected from the 44-year old murder case.
"Let's look at it in totality," he said. "It's the supporters, it's William Crawford's family. The only person who really gained from this, that I can see, is the perpetrator himself."
Walker, who served 22 years in prison, added it took him five years after his 2005 release to start fighting to clear his name.
John Walker, Jr.
"I was just happy to be out," he said. "I went to my parole officer because I saw that everyone else was being let off parole, so I asked, 'when might I get off parole' and she said, 'John, the only way you're getting off parole is if you die. So that kind of woke me up a little bit and I knew I had to start doing something about my case."
Walker said he and Boyd have garnered the support of many of Buffalo East Side community leaders, including politician Betty Jean Grant and her We Are Women Warriors Organization. Walker hopes the support will encourage Flynn to act on the promises he made while campaigning to become the District Attorney.
"He came to the church, True Bethel." he said. "And he got up in front of the whole congregation and he promised he would look at the John Walker case if the Blacks gave him their support."
A statement Friday from Flynn said an investigation three years ago by his Conviction Integrity Unit failed to find any new evidence, but on the chance new evidence is discovered, the District Attorney's Office would review the matter further.
For now, Boyd and Walker are leaning on the support of groups like We Are Women Warrior to help gather support. We Are Women Warriors Member Sherry Sherrill said in the current national climate, justice begs to heard.
Darryl Boyd and Sherry Sherrill
"In this season of Black Lives Matter, we're saying that Mr. Crawford's life matters as well," she said. "And how his life was taken from him, it is absolutely imperative to be found out. The truth must come forth and it must come forth now."
Sherrill says her organization has created a Change.org petition as well as a GoFund Me page she says will help provide Boyd and Walker money for "better than adequate" legal representation.

Social media defined. The U.S. Department of Education (2012) defines social media as "Forms of communication either Internet or text-based that support social interactions of individuals" (p. 5).
Nearly all youth and a majority of adults use social media. In 2012, 90% of 13- to 17-year-olds reported using some form of social media. About 70% of adults use social media regularly, and about half use two or more social media platforms. It is expected this usage will increase.
Social media increases communication speed. Historically, it was sometimes possible for educators, parents, and other caregivers to assess a crisis threat or situation patiently over time. However, the speed of information exchanged via social media, both accurate and inaccurate, requires quick thinking and quick responding.
There are potential risks associated with social media use. Social media can contribute to psychological trauma and other challenges. Potential risks include the following.
Cyberbullying or other online conflicts (e.g., a student or staff member may experience widespread and direct public ridicule; schools with social media accounts may experience negative postings about the school).
Quick and widespread communication of crisis-related rumors or other false information (e.g., inaccurate information about what happened or who was involved in a crisis situation).
Quick and widespread communication of embarrassing or inappropriate information (e.g., personal photos or shameful information posted).
Potential for triggering crises, increasing perceptions of threat and fear, or creating crisis contagion (e.g., 1–5% of suicides are believed to be due to a contagion effect where learning about crisis details leads to another crisis).
Affects privacy (e.g., individuals may not be aware of the risks associated with sharing too much).
Potential for overuse or as a consistent substitute for face-to-face socializing (e.g., may lead to social media depression).
Time consuming for educators, parents, and other caregivers to learn and monitor.
Social media has potential benefits. The potential risks of social media are often publicized, disturbing, and at the forefront of community attention. While such challenges are concerning, it needs to be acknowledged that social media is a reality that is here to stay. Educators are encouraged to understand how social media can help prevent and respond to crisis risks. For example, social media can be used to address the following.
Helping to create an extended sense of community or culture (e.g., posting of positive messages or achievements, opportunity for diverse audiences to connect).
Encouraging positive behavior, responsibility, and healthy relationships in schools, homes, and in the community.
Conducting online surveillance (e.g., monitoring crisis warning signs or threats; for example, Facebook has partnered with the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline to create a suicide reporting mechanism).
Quickly communicating accurate information following a crisis.
Rapidly dispelling rumors or other false information.
Quickly disseminating crisis prevention resources (e.g., numerous handouts published by NASP; see resources at end of this document).
Evaluating or triaging individuals who may be affected by a crisis situation (e.g., monitoring student use of social media for trauma warning signs).
Quickly disseminating information about how others can access mental health resources following a crisis.
Quickly coordinating crisis response efforts (e.g., caregiver access to a school's posting of a reunification plan).
Disseminating accurate crisis situation updates in real time from any location to a wide audience.
Disseminate information about public services or planned memorials.
Consider using smartphone applications in crisis situations to gain additional information on how to respond to the event. Many crisis apps already exist (e.g., FEMA – http://www.fema.gov/app; Psychological First Aid Mobile (NCTSN) – http://www.nctsn.org/content/pfa-mobile; Psychological First Aid Tutorial (UMN) – http://sph.umn.edu/ce/perl/mobile/pfatutorial/; NIMS ICS GUIDE: NIMS App – https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/nims-ics-guide/id406880725?mt=8).
Understand the barriers to social media use. Not everyone has access to or regularly uses social media. Given individual variation in age, language, culture, and other demographic variables, information must be delivered via other low-tech formats, too.
Create and/or understand social media policies. Schools and community organizations are encouraged to create and communicate social media policies. Parents, caregivers, and others in the community can familiarize themselves with such policies.
Prioritize ongoing social media training, both formal and informal. Research related to how social media and crises interact is limited. Social media platforms and applications also evolve quickly. Stay informed about current social media being used by youth and adults in your community. Youth in the community can take on the role of cultural brokers by informing educators, parents, and other adults about what and how social media are being used.

« Where should check_multi run? On the local or on the remote server?
For a individual interpretation of data in check_multi the builtin state evaluation is a good means. It internally works with perl eval and therefore is extremely flexible.
The first part, the sensor command is just a plain snmpget, as you probably often use in self written plugins.
But instead of a big if-else-clause check_multi uses state expressions to assign SNMP values to the different result values OK, WARNING and CRITICAL.
UNKNOWN has a special role here. It is used, when the SNMP value is not member of a specific group of numbers.
So this example really does not more than standard plugin also can do. But it shows how fast and reliable you can do develop such a SNMP plugin with check_multi. And if you want to change a value afterwards, you does not need to bother a developer. Any administrator can do this as well.

Face Recognition. How many images are too many?
How many images are you using for your recognition file?
RE: Facial Recognition - customize your mirror for every user!
@Chiumanfu autostart is a folder. You want to drop the mm.desktop file into that folder. Haven't tried Jessie light but don't know why it shouldnt work.
In my case I'm running a 7" RPi touchscreen display connected to a RPi v3 running Raspbian Jessie via GPIO pins and the HDMI connector. I am supplying power to both the display and the RPi via a single 2.5v USB power supply. For me, I need to be aware of power consumption.
When I first started I installed PM2 and after some headaches I got it running. It seemed like overkill in my mind even without my need to watch out for power hungry daemons. I figured there must be an easier way. After a lot of searching and trying different things here is what I came up with. It's very simple and doesn't carry any of the overhead that PM2 does.
Right click on it and select Properties. Make sure its set as "executable by anyone" Now close the properties panel.
If you've left everything as the defaults when installing MM2 you wont need to change anything.
That's it. Reboot and your mirror should load each time you reboot your Pi.
Definitely saves CPU usage thereby cutting down on power usage. There is also less to get "borked" up.
RE: Problems with Wi-Fi connectivity.
@n8ms Disables the onboard wireless. You might want to try bluetooth and a bluetooth keyboard. Why worry about the onboard? Just leave it.Doubt you are having power issues.
Adding a dongle on yours may be a good solution. use a usb extension cable yso you can move the dongle around if you dont get connectivity.

Fianna Fáil Education Spokesman Thomas Byrne TD has said today's Budget 2019 announcement goes little or no way towards transforming the quality of our country's education system.
He said, "For the most part, Budget 2019 looks likely to change very little of the poor status quo in education. It's somewhat disingenuous to announce "additional" teachers and Special Needs Assistants considering these additions will just about keep in line with our rapidly growing young population.
"This will do nothing to reduce the pupil teacher ratio in our primary or secondary schools, tackle the challenges created by rising numbers attending third level or address ongoing underfunding in the education sector as a whole.
"Almost a decade of sustained under-funding in schools across the country has left them struggling to make ends meet, with some even forced into debt. Today's announced increase in the capitation grant, albeit modest, represents a step towards alleviating the dependency on voluntary contributions from parents.
"Though this increase met a significant level of resistance at Cabinet that was difficult to comprehend, it remained a priority for our party throughout Budget negotiations.
"The overarching lack of vision and lack of political will to modernise our education system is demoralising to so many working in the sector.
"If adequately supported, the provision of education across the board can and should be of the highest quality. That support simply does not feature in Budget 2019," he concluded.

In the first episode, they document the discovery of Yosemite Valley and a quote by Lafayette Bunnell.
"None but those who have visited this most wonderful valley can even imagine the feelings with which I looked upon the scene that was there presented.
The grandeur of the scene was but softened by the haze that hung over the valley-light as gossamer-and by the clouds which partially dimmed the higher cliffs and mountains. This obscurity of vision but increased the awe with which I beheld it, and as I looked a peculiar exalted sensation seemed to fill my whole being, and I found my eyes in tears with emotion.
It's a great quote (and a great geology related quote at that) and reminds me of something a friend said to me on a backpacking trip in the Sierra Nevada a number of years ago.

He created the Into Space! series of lectures and books (which he published) for his close friend the late Sir Patrick Moore. He raised his 3 children as a single parent. Robert holds a private pilot's licence. He was responsible for sending over 5½ tons of books to needy schools in South Africa as catalogued working libraries. They continue today to enhance the lives of over 12,000 children annually. He has shared his love of flying by taking handicapped and sick children and their parents up into the air in fun charity flights, bringing some much-needed respite to the families. A recent operation that went wrong left Robert with permanent severe backache.
Spider 2-3 is his first novel. Its sequel, Decoy 17, is due for release in 2020.
Hear Robert talk on the BBC about his life, musical background and close friend Sir Patrick Moore.


Roses are red, violets are blue, this could be the home for you! There is much to love about this comfortable, move-in ready home. For starters, it was completely remodeled in 2008 to include an open floor plan. A new metal roof and guttering were installed in 2018. The deck with built-in benches overlooks the large lot of nearly half an acre. It's time to kiss your landlord goodbye and love where you live!


Home sales can be a good indicator of the health of the state's economy and housing markets. Through July, there have been 218,000 non-distressed (not resulting from mortgage delinquency or foreclosure) home sales statewide in 2018. This is down slightly from 219,500 in the first seven months of 2017.
During past the 12 months, year-over-year growth in home sales has slowed. Sales growth generally has hovered around zero and has posted declines in some months. While somewhat notable, this mild slowdown is far from the type of drop that is normally seen before an economic downturn.

Wouldn't you get an open circuit voltage from failed neutral to EG? Yes, 120v unless the neutral is compromised at the service or before.
Part of the reason those taking voltage readings have to be very specific as to what they are doing and where they have the probes. I know what I mean when I take a reading to ground, but do you know what I think I mean?
If you have resistance in the neutral you raise the N-G voltage. This easily can be just a volt or two from basic voltage drop in the neutral of an otherwise good condition circuit. But you can't raise that difference to more than 120 volts without involvement of both L1 and L2 plus a compromised EGC as well. A good EGC will never see more than nominal 120 from another conductor of the system.
If you have high volts to EGC (like more than 125) make sure that L1-L2 isn't high as well. That will usually be problem with POCO distribution regulation causing that though.
I will start at service turn off all branch circuits probe L1-L2 then L1-N L2-N then L1-G L2-G if there are over or under voltage readings the distribution lines have issue, call Power company. If there are no over or under voltage readings. The next step is re-energize circuits turn off effected probe L1-L2 then L1-N L2-N then L1-G L2-G if there are no over or under voltage readings. circuits remove Duplex and switch devices separate wires in effected rooms. Then re-energize circuits and locate first branch circuit home run and test L-n then L-g if correct readings connect one set of wire locate junction box it leads to and check readings. I will repeat until I find open neutral then replace effected wire. I have a feeling there is a buried junction box, there is no access to attic. thanks for advice.

Today I visited Lon at Second Street Speed. It has been a while since I was there. When I left I had a radiator problem that I solved with a multi-core Griffin radiator and a set of poly differential bushings to rid myself of clucking.
I asked Lon at Second Street Speed to rid me of the stock transmission tune and give me one like I had with the 95 Cougar. I gave him some of the major data and he went to work.
When I left I felt the difference. Now She is all She can be!
A ricer raced behind me at a light looking all tuff. It was hot and after all it was a ricer so I left the AC on. Gotta keep cool!
He took off at the light kinda reminding me of dirty dogs attempt at immortality. Then I took off, immediately passed him by one car length, two... Ah heck truck length then two... Then he faded away in the rear view mirror.
Not even a challenge... Oh well, so it is when you have a hot rod Mercury!

Janeena means God is Gracious.
Hi there! Thanks for visiting, and welcome to my official website, online portfolio and blog! Aside from getting to know me more both on a professional and personal note, this site exists to inspire, empower and encourage you to live your best lives, and to never give up on the dream no matter what. Subscribe to my posts to get notified for new entries, as I continue to share about life, style, beauty, travel, faith, fun behind the scenes, and everything in between.
Janeena actually means "God is gracious", and I wish to live by the saying that "What He gives to you, He wants to give through you." And this website is one of the ways I'm expressing that. Enjoy browsing through this site, and I hope to meet and work with you soon!
Janeena started at a tender age motivated by her love for music. After venturing in various on and off campus singing competitions early in school, she took it to the real world and eventually garnered a title as the Disney Singing Princess for SM Supermalls x Disney at age 7. She then started modeling at 9 with her first debut as a Barbie model. At 11, she ventured into hosting for the first time—It was for a tele-magazine show called Kid's TV that aired on ABC 5 and RPN 9, where she bagged one of the Best Kiddie Show Host awards at the PMPC Star Awards. The program was also awarded Best Kiddie Show.
After her involvement with Kid's TV, she took part of Newswatch Junior Edition on RPN 9 at age 14, as one of the junior reporters who went through intensive training on journalism from script writing, post production, directing, and reporting on-cam. She was assigned her own lifestyle segment under the network's primetime news program, Newswatch, producing and presenting features for "Teen Watch" with the help and supervision of her producers. The segment was later rebranded into "Spot Light", catering to a wider audience. Her overall experience with the program lasted a total of 5 years.
Simultaneously, she continued her passion in the performing arts, she took part of the cast of Disney's High School Musical On Stage held at the Meralco Theater under Stages Productions. With her experience in Gymnastics, she essayed the role of a Wildcats cheerleader. Together with select cast members, they were invited to perform summer and Christmas musical showcases in Enchanted Kingdom. In high school, she also joined one of Manila's top FM radio stations, Magic 89.9, as a Junior Jock and was also part of ABS-CBN's 'Gimik 2010 The Reunion' for a brief acting stint that aired in April 2010. Janeena has also been a VJ for Velvet Channel, Cignal TV's Daily Top 5, and ABS-CBN's CGE TV in the Loop.
While in college, she was the courtside reporter for the ASEAN Basketball League Live on Fox Sports Asia, covering the home games of the San Miguel Beermen vs. teams from Southeast Asia. She also hosted he National Cheerleading Championship coverage by Fox Sports Philippines. Janeena graduated in Ateneo de Manila University on March 2015 as a consistent dean's lister, and with a best thesis nomination. As a communication graduate, she also accepts speaking invitations, and has spoken for topics such as leadership, time management, youth empowerment, public speaking, power dressing, hosting, as well as social media.
Currently she's a TV Host on UPFRONT at the UAAP on S+A (Sports and Action), under the Philippines' leading network, ABS-CBN. She is also the main host of Chinoy TV on ANC (ABS-CBN News Channel). She has hosted for several events, from brand launches to corporate functions, as well as pageants such as the Mr. and Ms Chinatown Coronation night with nationwide telecasts. Aside from her hosting career in events, TV and digital, she has evolved as an online influencer and lifestyle blogger, having worked with leading local and global brands.


Although Meditation is a very private process (no one else can access our own minds), it is a process that can be influenced by external forces. So often, we let these factors directly impact the quality of our meditation practice. Some of these factors can be helpful, like taking meditation classes, attending meditation retreats, and participating in meditation groups, while others create mental distractions and are more difficult to let go of. The point here is that even though we may believe that these factors are real, we have complete control over how we ultimately label them as good or bad.


Rapper Professor Green will host BBC Three's upcoming documentary on suicide, with the hopes of reducing the increasing numbers of male victims in the UK.
Airing on 15 June, Professor Green on Suicide will follow the rapper as he meets with families who have lost relatives to suicide and visits centres that support sufferers of severe depression.
Following the suicide of his father, Peter, in April 2008, Green, real name Stephen Manderson, has spoken out numerous times about his strong desire to help encourage depression sufferers to seek support, particularly men.
"[Men] don't like to talk about our problems; we think it makes us look weak," Green explained. "There have been times when I've suffered from anxiety and depression... I did find that talking about things out loud to someone helped. It's important to let things out and not to bottle them up."
Suicide is currently the biggest killer of men aged between 25 and 40 in the UK. As revealed in a report by the Office for National Statistics, male suicide rates have "increased significantly" in the UK since 2007, whilst female rates remain "consistently lower than in men".
Since the shocking death of actor Robin Williams in 2014, there has been an increase in awareness surrounding the pressing issue of untreated male depression. However, Green believes there is still not enough being done.
"Society likes to tell you that you have to be happy all the time, and it's easy to think that if you're not happy then there's something wrong with you," writes Green in a piece for The Guardian. "If anything comes from this documentary it's that we should not feel ashamed or embarrassed to open up and talk to those around us about our feelings, in particular young men."
The Lullaby hitmaker's new documentary is not the first platform he has used to discuss such issues. In June 2014, Green hosted a one-off feature for BBC Radio 1Xtra entitled Suicide Survivors with Professor Green, in which he attempted to "find out what can be done to stop young people killing themselves".

Q: Notepad++ user-defined language window too tall Does anyone know how to resize the user-defined language window to a usable size? Maybe even get a fancy y-axis scroll-bar.
I am using 1280*1024 and my potato monitor simply can't even. The bottom is cut off for me.
Is the meaning of life found below this cut-off point which only non-peasants of greater than 1024 px height can view? It's been days since my last meal or sleep, please send halp.
Notepad++ v6.6.9

A: The layout of that window was changed somewhere between version 6.6.9 and 6.8.6. In the newer version, some buttons are on the same row instead of below each other, and some labels are moved from the top of their corresponding textboxes to the side. The height of the window is now ~800 px (may vary based on the height of the title bar, which is determined by Windows)

"St. Ignacio" is taken from "Hands in Our Names", the first full length album from Tucson, AZ experimental musician Karima Walker, out March 24, 2017.
"Hands in Our Names" is a hypnotizing patchwork of drone, folk, psychedelia, field recordings and tape loops. Equal parts gorgeous and abrasive, comforting and confounding, "Hands in Our Names" builds abstract song-collages from disparate sonic components, isolating and harmonizing a wild array instruments and textures across the span of twelve interwoven tracks. "Hands in Our Names" is dizzyingly abstract at moments, but taken as a whole, the album moves like a half-remembered travelogue, with Walker's understated, measured and beautiful singing voice acting as a compassionate tour guide through a wrecked landscape.

Discussion in '2010's Missing' started by GulfCoastKAT, Mar 2, 2013.
Very short article with very little info from the article, I can't even tell if Crystal is from Lafayette or was just last seen there. She appears to have been missing for 3 weeks now.
Comments under Crystal's link have a few more bits if information.
It looks like she's at least originally from Acadiana area with Dupuis as her middle/maiden name. I'm from this area, and this a very common family name. There has been no mention until today on MSM.
Hey y'all ... Lafayette resident here :seeya: ... I'm seriously wondering why this woman's disappearance is just now being made public?? I'm a big fan of Lafayette LE but to risk 3 weeks of lead time before going public just does not make sense to me. Especially in a case where the woman is in a "separation" phase of her marriage which we are all aware can SOMETIMES be a dangerous phase if there is volatility in the relationship already.
There has been very little information released about this missing persons case. It's a bit worrisome since it hasn't been that long since Mickey Shunick's abduction and murder . I hope this is strictly some sort of marriage/divorce issue (and that Crystal is safe somewhere) and that we don't have another psycho on the loose here in Lafayette!!!
I think part of it was her last known location which was a women's shelter according to FB comments on KATC I linked up thread. Maybe her family didn't realize she was no longer at the shelter? I hope that's the case more than I hope the public just wasn't notified until 3 weeks later.
I think she is from Breaux Bridge. I'm almost positive we went to HS together in the end 90's.
Wow GCK ... small world huh?
ETA: so I wouldn't have to make a new post ... if she 'supposedly' left from a woman's shelter, were there ANY cameras in the area she could have been caught on??? We need more info from LE if they want the public's help.
Mahmoo, I guess your 'name' is a play the little town that has Fred's Lounge.
I hope the family contacts the Mickey Shunick organization to get info help.
Yes! Where is Cpl Paul Mouton when we need info? Hopefully we will see him soon with details and info about Crystal.
I know you'd think that huh lol. As fate would have it, the nick comes from my youngest (for some reason) during her "tender years" calling me mahmoo rather than mom, momma, mommy and referring to her dad as dadoo!!! The stars were aligned and the timing was just right I guess when I signed up on Websleuths ... first nickname I thought of was mahmoo roflmao. Lawd ... wish I had a dollar for every time I've wished I would have signed up with a different nickname lol.
I like it. I like the story of the name and I like the small town with Fred's lounge. I was born there. I've lived in lots of small towns through out Acadiana and also in BR. I've lived in several that Bayou Teche runs through, too.
According to reports, she was seen February 8 in Lafayette, Louisiana.
I really want a press conference or something. The family seems argumentative on Facebook. Frustrating to say the least. She had just set up a new Facebook. Was tryin to start a new life. I know we can't sleuth people not named in msm but seems she was trying to get away.
Mahmoo and gck, haven't seen y'all since Mickey. Hope y'all are both well.
I've been good. Been around trying to help on a few other cases.
Any locals have anything else on this? Seems as though there's very little in the MSM.
:seeya: hi megmono ... I'm doing great and have been glued to the Arias trial like a soap opera junkie. Unfortunately, it seems we never have a shortage of cases to follow. I sure hope Crystal is found alive and soon.
Appears Crystal had a case hearing scheduled on the court docket for Feb 7, 2013 (day before she was last seen) that appears to be regarding a Protective Order contempt charge against her spouse/ex-spouse.
There was also another hearing earlier in the year (Jan 17, 2013) for the same charge. Not sure if it's for a separate incident. The case# is the same but one of filing dates is different.
The Admin on referenced f/b mentioned that Crystal is/was driving a black Hummer.
I sent a private message to the fb administrator suggesting that they get help/advice from the Shunik family and national registries. Time is slipping by and I see no local news coverage. So, so sad.

Trinity School of Medicine Students Join World Pediatric Project Physicians on Spinal Mission
by Trinity School of Medicine, on Jul 6, 2017 11:00:00 AM
While the World Pediatric Project typically holds an annual scoliosis clinic in St. Vincent in November, during the last visit, the number of cases proved to be overwhelming for the available time. As a result, an additional surgical scoliosis clinic was scheduled for early Summer 2017. As always, a team of students from Trinity School of Medicine joined the visiting physicians to learn and assist.
This mission allowed Trinity's students to work with a phenomenal team of specialists from renowned institutions from across the United States and the Caribbean. The group was comprised of: Kate Corbett, team leader and WPP senior program director; Pediatric Orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Steven Hwang; orthopedic surgery fellow, Dr. Andrew Vivas; adult orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Charles Woods; adult orthopedic specialist, Dr. Kirani White; pediatric anesthesiologist, Dr. Michael Schwartz; OR nurse, Jan Steinieck; neuro-monitoring specialist, Heather Greenberg; and physician's assistant, Heather Keeney.
The day's case load had nineteen patients, with Trinity's students involved right away and shown by the visiting experts how the cases presented, what was to be remedied by surgical intervention (often spinal fusion), and the idiosyncrasies of each case.
Trinity student Shirley Samuel shared that, "This has been a huge learning experience. They explained to us angles of curvature and how they were measured. They also showed us the correction mechanism and its results." Her colleague Jana Williams added, "Having looked at the images, I was able to put into context some things we'd learned conceptually. It was a great opportunity."
As always, Trinity students were encouraged to ask questions and assist where appropriate. Shirley Samuel acknowledged that, "This kind of opportunity is so important. Today, I was able to see a team of doctors working together, instead of a single specialist working alone. It was great observing how they interacted, what skills that each bring, and how that impacted the flow of the work." Jana Williams continued, "Watching how all of these concepts that we've learned independently from books all come together, in that setting-- how the team worked together, worked quickly and seamlessly, it was a tremendous experience."
While every World Pediatric Project Mission leaves a remarkable impact on the mission team, volunteers, patients, their relatives and Trinity students, all in, a full eight spinal fusions were performed. This gave this particular group of Trinity students a specific, focused insight that they are unlikely to forget any time soon.

A trek beyond the Tigers Nest or Taktsang through the high mountains and alpine forests and high altitude grasslands to the remote Bumda Monastery: a beautiful monastery glues to the steep face of a cliff.
MOUNTAIN TREKKING IN BHUTAN, THE HIMALAYAN KINGDOM, TO SEE THE REMOTE MONASTERIES CLINGING ON THE MOUNTAINS, OLD WOODEN BUDDHIST MONASTERIES, THE HOLY PLACES IN THE HIMALAYAS. TREKKING AND TOURS IN BHUTAN NEAR THIMPHU AND PARO.
For most of them visitors, Tigers Nest or Taktsang is the end of trip. But for us the destination was far beyond the tiger's mountain.
There are trek routes connecting Paro and Thimpu: which were used by the villagers before the construction of the new modern roads. Though very few people use these tough mountain tracks nowadays: these have become the world famous trek routes of Bhutan. Our destination is one of the high altitude pastures, near Bumdra Monastery. We could see the depth of the cliff and the nest balancing on the cliff on our way to Bumdra.
The nearest vehicular route is just eight hours trek from this monastery: to my astonishment, there are a few monks living inside this mountain monastery: all round the year.
Only the real lucky and blessed people get a chance to visit this monastery. .. I am happy to understand and find that I am one of the very very lucky Non Bhutanese/ Indian (I was called half Bhutanese when I lived in Bhutan ) to visit this place.
After our visit to the Tigers Nest, we continued uphill. We could see the nest just below the hill, hanging to the cliff.
The track starts just before the tigers nest, a very steep climb amidst steep hillrock to reach the top of the cliff and then a trek path. There were no people around and the mountains were mostly ours.
A very traditional adventure route: away from the touristy tracks. The uphill route was made stairs made by cutting tree trunks.
The forest around was mostly alpine. As we trekked up we could see a birds eye view of Paro Valley and the mountains around and a glimpse of the pinnacle of snow caps beyond it..
According to Tandin a decade ago, the valley was full of paddy fields and green: now most of it has been turned into big palatial tin roof houses.
We crossed several remote villages. Most of them are several hours of walk from the nearest road. Many of the opening villages have mobile network, but the ones further beyond doesn't. They live a simple life fulfilling their bare necessities: but there was happiness, love and satisfaction in the face of everyone. They were very healthy and.. girls were beautiful.
What made me wonder the most was this monastery in one of the villages. This building is at-least a century old and made of just Mud and Stone (Wooden roof). Himalayas are one of the areas very much prone to earthquakes. The sense and knowledge of the people who made it out reach the present day engineers and architects: who are still struggling to make earthquake prone buildings.
There were many old monasteries along the trek route.The villagers work together to make these monasteries. Its a month long celebration. They sing and dance and build the monastery together.
The walls are made of mud and stones: and beautiful paintings on the outside wall. The wooden have been replaced by tin roof. They carry it head-loaded from the town in the valley.
With lot of primulas, this set Primula denticulata (drumstick primrose) attracted my camera: native to moist alpine regions of Asia grows over the forest floor.
The abode of mountains, Bhutan is home to many rare and beautiful plant species: including many endemic ones. These beautiful flowers can be seen nowhere on earth. There were lot of Rhododendron plants on the way.
Long time ago, these were high altitude pastures used by the nomadic yak herders. Now, most of this community has moved to the nearby cities. Yet there are few gangs still doing their traditional work..
Now these pasture lands are used as destinations for trekking: Bhutan is well known around he world for the Low Volume high Impact Tourism.
On our return way, we just had a halt at the pastures.
We said our prayers and performed the rituals at the Bumdra Monastery.
The steep cliff inside Bumdra Monastry: There are monks living inside this monastery(all round the year) and they perform poja and bless the visitors. The nearest town in seven Hours trek from here.A really satisfying and fruitful life.
I am gonna miss this view. Not sure when I am gonna see this again. Miss you.
I come from India, and Bhutan is like my second home. I lived at Kanglung: the east side of Bhutan for one year: while I was teaching at Sherubtse College.

What Are Your Rights After an Iowa Doctor Misdiagnoses Your Medical Condition?
When we go to the doctor, we trust their experience and credentials to figure out what may be wrong with us. We don't go into a doctor's appointment assuming that we will be a victim of a medical misdiagnosis in Iowa. We trust that doctors know what they are doing. However, the reality is that even medical professionals with the best intentions do make mistakes.
When mistakes happen in the medical world, serious consequences for patients can occur as the result of a misdiagnosis, failure to diagnose, wrong diagnosis, partial diagnosis, and more. Misdiagnosis is, in fact, the most common type of medical mistake made by doctors in Iowa and throughout the nation.
Why do these conditions often get misdiagnosed?
Sometimes these conditions have similar symptoms that could be mistaken for another medical issue. For example, heart disease can often be written off as anxiety or panic attacks by doctors, as women may feel difficulty breathing or experience a racing heart. When this occurs, an Iowa misdiagnosis has occurred, and a doctor should be held responsible.
Other times, doctors do not spend adequate time or perform necessary tests to make an accurate diagnosis. When scans are not done to detect cancer and it goes undiagnosed until its later stages, it can be the result of a doctor failing to diagnose your condition.
It is important to get a second opinion. Go see a specialist and find out from another doctor whether you would have a different prognosis if your condition had been caught earlier.
You may have rights for pain and suffering, medical bills, lost income, rehabilitation and therapy expenses. It is important that you consult with an experienced Cedar Rapids medical malpractice attorney if you have been misdiagnosed or if your doctor failed to diagnose your medical condition.
Our lawyers at Brady Preston Gronlund understand that medical malpractice can forever change your life and the life of your family. Although we cannot take away the harm that was caused to you as a result of misdiagnosis, we can help you get the necessary compensation that you deserve.

The translation industry is an ever changing industry where there is never a minute available to stand still and reflect. What has evolved in recent years are different types of translations which match the demand of the client that needs specialist translation services completed.
This is a translation of texts used on a daily basis by a specific company which allows the business to operate smoothly.
Commercial translation, which is similar to business translation, is the translation of documents such as company accounts, letter, a business's annual report and tender documents. This sort of translation services can only be done successfully by a translator who has a sound understanding of translating business language.
This is the sort of translation you may get from one of the freely available online translation tools. Behind the outer face of the online translation tool is a software program which analyses text using its embedded tools and comes out with the equivalent of a paid translator which ensures the translation service is suitable and correct. What has been discovered by researchers is that it's difficult to support a computer-assisted translation.
Free translation services are those that are often found online which can be used after the text has been copied and pasted and a translation is done. You can see quite easily yourself that this sort of method of translation is no substitute for a human translator.
These are used when accompanied by software and additional instructions that help to get the best translation.
These are conducted for the finance industry and include such things as stocks, investment funds and commodities. They should be conducted by a professional business translator.
These are more basic translations where no experience is required of a specialist nature in order to do the translation. But even free online translation tools may not be able to handle these sorts of translations.
These are particularly commonplace today as so much legal documentation needs to cross borders. To be effective, a professional legal translator is the only one suitable to undertake this task and the chosen translator needs to be conversant with legal terminology for both the target and source languages.
There again there is far more to literary translations than simply word for word translations as the translator needs to have a high level of understanding of what the poet, author or playwright is trying to say so that the same message can be conveyed in another language.
There is a huge range of medical translations. They can include anything from drug dosages and cautionary information about the use of a drug to descriptions of medical devices.

In my previous article discussing the rise of Bitcoin as a possible form of digital bullion, I compared and contrasted its measure of value in comparison to gold and silver bullion. When I wrote my first article, the value of Bitcoin was rising toward an impressive $20,000 in value, and — as experts had predicted — it fell in value once more to a low of around $6,000 earlier this month. It has just now returned to a value of near $11,000 for the first time this year. While Bitcoin appears to rise and fall in a cyclical nature, when it actually decides to rapidly increase or decrease in value is still risky to assess as an investor. As experts have previously suggested, a currency that fluctuates in value as much as Bitcoin tends to be a sign of its weakness rather than its strength — so how do gold and silver measure up?
Hover to zoom. Image courtesy of APMEX.
According to APMEX, which has tracked the price of gold per ounce since February 16, 1987, the precious metal is currently sitting at $1,348.90 per ounce. The highest price gold reached during this period of 31 years was $1,864.12 on September 5, 2011. It was speculated that this may have been due to a growing accumulation of debt by European countries like Greece and Ireland that year. And, of course, many of the world's economies were still recovering from the Great Recession of 2008. While there have been some fluctuations here and there, the price of gold has held a noticeable upward trend in growth since 2015. Being a relatively new and speculative form of currency, Bitcoin appears to double and half itself in value during the same month at times.
Silver, on the other hand, appears to have the same growth trend as gold until around January 21, 2013, when its value sharply cut in half over the subsequent months (from $31.95 in January to $19.97 in August of the same year). Silver currently sits at a value of $16.74 per ounce. Silver's sudden drop in value in 2013 can partially be explained by advancements in technology, particularly with photography and electronics — the former for switching largely to digital media and the latter for decreases in the size of appliances that use silver. However, what's interesting to note is that gold faced a similar drop in 2013 as well (though not as severe and noticeable as the one for silver), having gone from $1,684.88 in January to $1,300.40 in August. This suggests that there is at least one common factor that caused both precious metals to suddenly decrease in value that year.
It appears that since January 2013, while gold and silver are still more valuable than they were before 2011, they have not yet returned to their peak value between the years of 2011 and 2013. Why is this? What happened during those years to cause this spike and subsequent fall in the value of gold and silver? The answer is rather complicated, and while not all factors are known, what most investors understand is that when political and economic turmoil are high, precious metal prices tend to rise in value with the chaos. In short, the value of gold and silver holds an inverse relationship with the health of the economy.
Investors are more likely to turn to more speculative investments, such as stocks, bonds, and real estate. During these times, the price for gold often declines.
Bitcoin price history chart, linear scale. Year numbers are placed around the middle of the designated year.
Enter Bitcoin in 2009, a more "speculative" investment than precious metals. Since the Bureau and a variety of other sources have determined that increasing values of precious metals indicate economic turmoil, then the increase in the value of speculative investments like Bitcoin seems to indicate a healthy economy. While this relationship may not be perfect, it appears that precious metals and Bitcoin share a sort of connection that allows investors to crudely assess the relative health of the economy and when it is best to invest in either tangible assets or speculative ones. Utilizing this knowledge, we can determine that 2013 was the economic turning point for the great recession in the United States, given the sudden drop in the value of both gold and silver. Not surprisingly, the notorious cryptocurrency experienced its first surge in value in 2013 as well.
While Bitcoin fluctuates more rapidly and less predictably than gold and silver, it may be that it is now becoming one of the many speculative investments like stocks and bonds that we can indirectly use to assess the health of the economy. Today's investors might conclude that silver and gold should be bought during economically prosperous times, and sold during economically hectic times — and that the best time for speculative investments like Bitcoin is the opposite. Could this crucial distinction save your wallet? Only time will tell.


Love that sweater. You look so comfy and chic all together. Amazing!
I want that sweatshirt! So cute (and also funny). Enjoy your time in LA!
Love everything about this look! It's stylish yet comfy, right up my alley! I will be back tomorrow with my fingers crossed!
Such a great sweatshirt! Love the saying!
And of course, the bag!
That sweatshirt has been on wish list for a while! Loveeeee it!
Perfect. That's all I have to say!
Isn't retail therapy the best? I've been considering buying the same sweatshirt so I guess we're on the same proverbial style page. You may have just convinced me ;) Hope to see you at LuckyFABB?
That is fabulous! Love that sweatshirt. And I love the way you styled it. Great look!
Cute sweater ! And love how it pops with that funky necklace.
I see you got one of the most coveted bags too.
