Is My Ex Girlfriend Leading Me On?
Boom. Game face on. Don't give away your tell, and always keep your opponent guessing.
In general, dating and love is a game. I often joke to my friends who ask for my dating advice that it's a game, and whoever appears to care less, wins. However, there is such a thing as appearing to care too little. No one wants to be led on. I want you to read on because we are going to get into the 4 most common things that might be going on with your ex girlfriend if you think she is leading you on.
What I tell the guys in Ex Girlfriend Recovery is that what makes a woman attractive is her having a life outside of her relationships with men. The same thing is true for men. No secure person wants to be the center of another human's life – it's way too much pressure.
But sometimes you might get the feeling that something else is going on in that mind of your ex girlfriend. It may feel like you are getting jerked around. You might not be really sure if she is just stoking the fires and leading you along to keep you happy or if she has other designs.
When interacting with an ex, things can be complicated. You can't be sure of their motivations, or what is on their mind.
If you're reading this, I assume that you have successfully implemented the No Contact Method and are now somewhere in the process of trying to establish rapport with your ex girlfriend. If you haven't gotten to No Contact yet you can read about it here. Building rapport can be such a tricky stage because your interactions with her will always keep you guessing. It's hard to determine what exactly she wants. We're going to discuss some of the reasons your ex may or may not be leading you on, but first I want to discuss a somewhat complicated idea that I cannot seem to fully grasp, even when I am in midst of it.
Have you ever broken up with someone and felt good about the decision, but then, as soon as they get into a relationship with another person, you get jealous? I remember this feeling all too well with my first boyfriend. We were together for almost 3 years… basically a lifetime in high school… and I felt suffocated. I wanted out, and after multiple attempts to end things with him, I succeeded in getting him to accept that we were over…and never, ever, ever, ever getting back together.
But then, a year later, I saw a notification on Facebook that he had entered a new relationship. I was instantly envious. I checked the girl's page and was relieved to see that she wasn't as pretty as me.
Hey! I never said I wasn't a little shallow.
Did that mean I wanted my ex boyfriend back?
But it did bothered me that I had been replaced.
Everyone wants to be wanted, even if they won't want that person back. I just hated that idea that someone could take my place, that maybe he could adore her more than he ever adored me. It bothered me a lot. And it bothered me that it bothered me.
I still don't fully understand this dynamic, but I've come to determine that it is fully human. Everyone wants to be loved, to be wanted. That feeling of being replaced is painful, even if you don't want the place to begin with.
I mention this because I think that this is the dynamic that so frequently can come into play between relationships. Some ex's want to keep stringing you along, because you provide them the occasional ego boost that they need to calm their insecurities.
That doesn't mean that your ex girlfriend is a bad person. I think it's a relatively common phenomena.
So is your ex girlfriend leading you on?
She genuinely wants to be friends: If you and your ex were in a serious or long term relationship (or both), it's likely true that the two of you have been through a lot together and have a deeper friendship than simply a romance. This is always difficult because though the relationship may be over, one or both parties may want to continue the friendship. But that is so hard to do after a breakup, and it is necessary to take some time apart for both of you to heal.
In this case, it may seem like she is being cruel and leading you on, but in reality, she is mourning the relationship too, and trying to see if a friendship could potentially be created somewhere down the road.
She's keeping you around as a backup: I've seen this happen to friends before, and it always pisses me off. Your ex may not want to be with you right now, but she may not want to let you go 100% yet either, in case something better doesn't come along.
In a sense, she may be keeping you "on hold" – keeping you hooked in just enough so that she can revisit you if/when the time comes, but not investing so much to enter back into a committed relationship with you again.
If you even remotely think that this is your ex, I recommend some more No Contact so she can face the reality of a life without you. You deserve better than to be someone's backup.
She's afraid to let go of you entirely so she's weaning herself off of you: This one is a bit painful for me to write about, as I have definitely been on the receiving end of this type in the past.
Breakups are hard on both parties – even if she ended things with you, that doesn't mean it was easy to do or that she doesn't miss you. And as stated above, if you two of you had a strong foundation, she may be having a hard time letting you go.
Yeah. I know. She should have thought of that before?
It could be possible that your ex cares about you, and though she doesn't to be in a relationship with you, she is not ready to fully cut ties yet, either. And yes this is absolutely selfish on her part, particularly if she was the one to break up with you.
Again, I'd give her a No Contact period to make her face the consequences of her choices.
She's confused about what she wants: Of course, your ex could simply be confused about what she wants and is keeping you in her life as she works to figure it out. She may have ended things on a whim, but after some time apart she is beginning to doubt her decision.
If she is rethinking that decision she may need some convincing. So, she is spending time with you to gauge your interest, if you've changed, and/or if you're still compatible.
This is the time when you show off all of your accomplishments that you made during No Contact. Make it clear to your ex girlfriend that her biggest mistake was leaving you, and she will never be happy until she is with you again.
That might seem a little over the top, but you know what I mean.
Though their relationship ended, they remained in each other's lives because they were unwilling to let each other know, and eventually they both acknowledged that there was a connection still there. If your ex is keeping you in her life, she could be working out similar confusing feelings, but not ready to say anything until she is sure it is the right choice.
So how do you know, though? How can you determine which category your ex falls into?
The simple answer is her investment.
Does she text you first a majority of the time?
Is she the one making plans to hang out?
If yes, it's safe to say that she still has interest in you, and you have a fair shot at getting her back.
People don't put effort into things that they don't care about. There are only so many hours in the day and energy that we, as humans, have. If your ex is making an effort to see you, talk to you, asking engaging questions…you're in a good spot.
A good thing to know though is about "Breadcrumbing," which has become a popular dating trend. This is when you invest just enough to keep another person interested, but then pull back so that you are at the same time making it clear that you don't want commitment. It's cruel and manipulative, but I never said the game was fair, did I?
If you sense your ex girlfriend is breadcrumbing – no matter her motivation – mirror her and engage in some push/pull method.
Go out on dates and utilize some jealousy tactics.
Make it known that she does not have power over you, and that she is not your priority.
And again, a little mini No Contact doesn't hurt to make her think you're busy.
She's no longer your girlfriend, she doesn't get to know what or who you are busy with anymore. Let her use her imagination.
Give yourself a timeline. Don't wait around for her forever. If you are using Ex Girlfriend Recovery tactics correctly and your ex seems to be investing little by little, give it more time.
But know when to cut your losses. I know someone who wasted his time chasing her ex for over a year – more than 4 times the length of their short-lived relationship.
Set a date, and if you still think that your ex might be interested, try to gently and casually bring up the idea of a relationship (using EGR tactics – remember, it is supposed to be HER idea!).
But, if that date comes and you feel like you've gotten nowhere, consider that maybe it is time to move on.
After a certain amount of time, it becomes exhausting to chase after someone who is putting no effort in, and it can begin to damage your self esteem and could potentially start creating baggage that you will bring to other relationships. Recognize when to throw in the towel. If your ex girlfriend can't see what a wonderful catch you are, that's on her.
She'll see her mistake eventually.
Breakups have the uncanny ability to make us feel powerless. But know that just like in any game there are strategies. Utilize No Contact fully and work on yourself. Do things that make you happy and feel fulfilled.
You can take the power back by making sure that you are not investing more than your ex girlfriend is.
Unfortunately, there is something to that "whoever cares less, wins" idea here. But, I prefer to think of it as gauging investment.
You're not going to go all in unless you know that it's worth it, right? And if she was the one to break up with you, she should be the one to step up and prove she is as invested in pursuing a relationship with you.
If she broke up with you, she automatically gets the upper hand. So, the best thing you can do is to try and regain common ground by keeping your emotions in check. This means not flat out displaying how you feel, keeping her guessing about your motives, and putting yourself first. Putting yourself first will not only be helpful in showing your ex that you have a life outside of her, it also will remind you to put your energy elsewhere so that you don't spend all your time obsessing over your ex.
Make your breakup an opportunity to be more comfortable with who you are. Because once you are happy and comfortable with yourself, no one can take that away. And that is the most powerful thing of all.
Oh, if you'd like to research it further… here's a video Chris made that might interest you regarding a related issue.
Alright, so now that you know how to recognize if you are being led on and how to deal with it, AND you have the resources to know what to do DURING No Contact, let's talk about YOUR breakup in particular.
I mean, we have written articles on almost every situation we have ever come across and, for the most part, every person that comes here thinks that they are an exception to the rules or perhaps that we haven't touched on a specific situation that they are dealing with already. And you know what, even though we have dealt with a LOT of situations, you may have something unique that we haven't covered. And we don't want to leave you in that situation. We want to help! So, In the comments below, tell me about your breakup and we'll help teach you how to make him know your worth and realize what he's lost.
The details of your breakup. Exactly HOW did he take you for granted.
What you've done since the breakup.
And what actions you are going to take after reading this article.

Q: Equalize to zero a different element of a matrix for each row without loop I have an IxS matrix called numerateur and I would like to set one element per row to zero. However, the column to which this element belongs changes for each row. I can do it with a loop but would like to use a more efficient method.
You can find my loop below:
choice is an Ix1 vector containing, for each row, the column number of the element I want to set to zero in numerateur.
for i = 1:I
        rank1 = choice(i);
        numerateur(i,rank1) = 0;
end

A: You need to convert the column indices to linear indices:
ind = (1:size(numerateur,1)) + (choice(:).'-1)*size(numerateur,1);
numerateur(ind) = 0;

Example:
>> numerateur = randi(9,5,7)
numerateur =
     8     7     8     3     2     8     4
     7     8     6     3     6     1     3
     8     9     5     5     5     9     5
     4     4     2     7     4     9     9
     1     6     7     3     8     7     9
>> choice = [2; 3; 6; 5; 1];
>> ind = (1:size(numerateur,1)) + (choice(:).'-1)*size(numerateur,1);
>> numerateur(ind) = 0;
>> numerateur
numerateur =
     8     0     8     3     2     8     4
     7     8     0     3     6     1     3
     8     9     5     5     5     0     5
     4     4     2     7     0     9     9
     0     6     7     3     8     7     9

A: Use implicit expansion to find logical indices:
numerateur(choice == 1:size(numerator,2)) = 0;

Alternatively you can use sparse matrix to generate logical indices:
numerateur(sparse(1:I,choice,true,I,S)) = 0;

3D virtual modelling of ships for the Russian Navy — we comb IT?
This "Stunning" news (but in a different interpretation, i first read here: on the "Sevmash" for the first time created 3d model under construction apletu somewhat confusing picture (see below), so i decided to get to the source. Cost-effective searches on the internet and the violent actions to the keyboard and mouse have led to the original source from the press service of "Sevmash"Modern technologies in the construction of submarines. Even a small effort for my weak brain and the relics of an isp and soon found there was the source: no. 1 from 2016 is the log of jsc "Po "Sevmash" on the crest of it under no. 1 of 2016,(see page 32)note that this "News 2017" - was news of the release of hatchery no.
1 newspaper from 2016. Read under different tilts of the monitor (i have a rotary) and. And did not understand. Not in the sense of ideas, but in the sense:— where a crest of a wave it?— where "Modern technologies" in the construction of submarines?— where the 3d model submarines being built? oh,that's all. The question is removed.
I'm a big (or rather old) and understand:a state secret in the Russian legislation: protecting government information in the field of its military, foreign policy, economic, prospecting, counterprospecting, operatively-search activity which distribution can cause a damage to the state.

What you are doing in the photo these three "Young man"?i think guys have fun watching and barely hold back a smile. Laser barcode scanner "Read"?— table model submarine? made "Manually"?of course, i'm exaggerating.
This scanner is very similar to a 3d scaner creaform handyscan for 20,000 euros apiece. Pay attention to the alignment surface! this is not a desk made of chipboard in general "Passing" room. 2. Or is it advertised defense ministry research company in action?something reminds me. For sure! it's just like chicks petrov skolkovo and bravura reports ridus (students from skolkovo blew up a rocket in Moscow"). Ersatz news: but the result of the skolkovo tests:redo (already in the article ridus): what are you doing for a photo of the three young man? pencil them why? there saw (or overlooked)? what conversations talking about?about "Lin industrial" is a Russian startup that creates ultra-light rocket, resident of skolkovo innovation center since june 25, 2014 - a single song, their rocket engine and latest test thereof (an amputated the hand of a passerby). Sorry, got distracted. Doing the maneuver returning to the desired trajectory. Maybe i'm behind the times, but it (laser scanning model/object) do not.
And it is clear tremor of the hands (i do not allude to some events of the evening abuse of strong drink is a property of any living organism), the breath, the vibration of the table, updrafts of warm air, etc. Laser digitizing 3d objects looks like this:or this:or so (factory faro 3d imager array):simply and clearly indicate why and how "It" is:in order to get here so:and you can do this (printing of the cockpit and protection of the power takeoff turbofan for tornado gr4):get right: the guys (employees) in the photo i do not blame and do not ernichayu. The people they bonded. I make fun on the practice/system. Probably right @pavel_sd, commenting on the article: "People shavaet"? even though victims of cse - is unlikely. Or is it for the generals pensioners? then yes.
But what will be output? something like this? made in the usa. And we need it?2. Where has it gone? hi-tech 2000's? all is what has been used before and still in use today.

Marines land at Quincy boxing gym
Jay N. Miller
Nov 29, 2011 at 12:01 AM Nov 29, 2011 at 3:42 AM
Three members of the Marine Corps boxing team spent last week training at the Farrell-Cyr Boxing Gym in downtown Quincy, mixing sparring sessions in with their holiday break.
The Marines have landed in Quincy, but their eyes were more on turkey than any adversary. Three members of the Marine Corps boxing team spent last week training at the Farrell-Cyr Boxing Gym in downtown Quincy, mixing sparring sessions in with their holiday break.
The connection to the Quincy gym was easy since head trainer Jimmy Farrell Jr. is the uncle of Hanson's Joey Canale, a welterweight on the USMC squad. In addition, Quincy native Luis Valentin, the team's 152-pounder, is a longtime veteran of the downtown gym. The third member of the team in town has been San Diego native Darnell Price, who boxes in the 178-pound division. The Marine Corps boxing team is based at Camp Lejeune, N.C., but members were able to go on leave for the Thanksgiving holiday.
Eyeing the airfares for a flight to California, Price was wondering if he could afford a trip home, so his buddy Canale invited him to join his family on the South Shore. Sparring sessions at the Quincy gym were added feature.
"The boxing team had kind of fallen off in recent years," Canale, 22, related. "But we've gotten a new coach this year who's really motivated us. Jesse Rivello coached the 1996 Olympic team, which included Floyd Mayweather Jr. The Army team had been winning all the Armed Forces tournaments, and finally the Marines decided to start getting serious about their boxing team again. We are also looking ahead to the 2012 Olympics, and would love to see one of our guys there. We are 100 percent focused on boxing, and we have to also maintain proper conduct and duties. If our units are deployed we can be called back to them, but if not, we are assigned to the team."
Members of the team are selected through tryouts, which are held more or less constantly at all Marine bases.
"Typically we do strength and conditioning in the mornings, and then sparring in the afternoons," said Canale. The Marines have continued that schedule in Quincy, with workouts at noon and 6 p.m. The squad's next appearance is in Wilmington, N.C., on Dec. 3, and then Springhill, N.C., on Dec. 17, both of which are aimed at preparing the boxers for the Armed Forces Championships on Jan. 28 at Camp Pendleton in California.
"Coming home was the first reason but sparring with different people is almost as good," said Canale. "We get a different workout here, and the opportunity to get in the ring with different people is really valuable. The more different boxers and styles you can work with, the better you will be. We get used to boxing with the same people every day, and one of the best parts of coming here for a week is seeing new looks. Even the way Jimmy works the mitts is far different than we're used to."
"And," Canale grinned, "home-cooked dinners are a lot better than mess hall chow."
"I love Massachusetts," said Price, 20, who has been a Marine for two years. "It is so much different than California, not nearly as laid back. It was so cool coming here and meeting all these good people, and sitting down to dinner with them. And from our sparring I can say the boxers here are a lot tougher than California. East Coast boxers in general are so much more experienced, and better overall from the tough competition than anything we see out in California."
The three Marines were joined most days by an aspiring Marine boxer. Hanson's Brandon Jaeger, 23, met Canale at the old Whitman boxing gym run by Mark DeLuca Sr. Currently Jaeger is in the USMC Reserves, but he's made arrangements to fly down to Camp Lejeune in the next couple weeks to try out for the boxing team.
"I understand they have two boxers at each weight class," said the 152-pound Jaeger. "Right now Joey tells me they have an opening at 152, so I think I have a good shot at it. I've been boxing four or five years, and have some good experience in smoker-type shows. If I'm chosen, they'd assign me to the team, for six months, and then as long as you do well, they will keep re-assigning you there."
Another Marine Reservist is also a product of the DeLuca gym, and Whitman's Rob DeMarco is contemplating taking a shot at the USMC team.
"I've had about eight amateur fights, and lots of bouts around here in smokers and such," said DeMarco, 23. "Mark DeLuca Jr. was my trainer, and one of my best friends, and since he's been serving in Afghanistan, it hasn't been the same. I also hurt my knee in the Marines, and lost a couple years of boxing there, but it's okay now. I also work full time right now, so boxing is not something I can devote enough time to doing. But Mark is due back home in a couple months, so maybe then I can give it another whirl."
And also haunting the gym last week was North Quincy heavyweight, PJ Campbell. Campbell is in his freshman year at Mass. Maritime Academy where he played football, and is a part of the boxing team. When he graduates from the school in Bourne, Campbell hopes to join the Marine Corps, and he liked what he saw of the USMC team last week.
"My parents brought me to this gym when I was five years old, and I never left," said Campbell. "Finding anyone my size (6-6) to spar with is very difficult. Jimmy makes me concentrate on my footwork in the ring, until it all comes naturally. I've been very impressed seeing these guys from the Marine team, and it's been an eye-opener as far as conditioning. I have three more years of college to go, but after graduation the Marines are definitely something I've always wanted to join, and a chance to maybe be a part of their boxing team gives me more motivation."

Trend Predictors Are Advertising's Weathermen
"I think they're screwed. Snapchat, I predict, will be the next Formspring or Chatroulette, that mega-hot thing that all the kids were on until suddenly they weren't." – Shane Snow
"Eventually Pinterest will have to make money, but it will have to be from browsers, not buyers, because Pinterest won't drive significant purchasing." – Julian Green
"The first thing they [Instagram] should do is drop to their knees and beg Kim Kardashian to stay on board, because rumors of her dropping the app (she is their most followed user) have become the hottest news, and if she goes, they can expect her 5 million users to follow suit."
– Christianna Giordano
Open any marketing or advertising publication this month and you're sure to find at least a half-dozen mentions of Periscope and Meerkat. Everyone sees the potential in these new streaming services. However, advertisers weren't prepared to roll out the red carpet for new apps like this in the past.
At the infancy of SnapChat, Pinterest and Instagram, several publications had their reservations about the potential of these apps as moneymakers and marketing tools. As the values of these apps have grown into the billions-of-dollars range, they're finally getting the respect they deserve.
In their attempts to forecast the lifespan and value of these new apps, many writers said that the short shelf life of these posts made them impractical tools for advertising. Little did they know about how these apps would adapt.
SnapChat's new "Discover" stream allows major media companies to offer advertising space in their 24-hour streams. Instagram's looping video option gives brands an opportunity to catch scrolling eyes with beautiful, dynamic images. Pinterest's promoted pins blend in with other posts and show up on well-targeted boards for people that are ready to buy.
These three apps have adapted to prove these writers wrong. Their pessimistic forecast has become completely inaccurate. The road ahead for these ever-evolving channels is bright and paved with advertising dollars. We're looking forward to how creative agencies use these opportunities for their clients.

Herman Miller CEO 'generally optimistic' about 2018, despite 'geopolitical noise'
BY Nick Manes Sunday, December 24, 2017 03:28pm
Brian Walker continues to believe the overall fundamentals of the economy remain strong, but the ongoing wave of nationalism and demonstrations of military might cause him some degree of concern. The president and CEO of Zeeland-based office furniture manufacturer Herman Miller Inc. (Nasdaq: MLHR) counts on free and open access for the trading of goods for his company's continued success. Meanwhile, the continued "geopolitical noise" from external events like Brexit only creates uncertainty, he told MiBiz at the recent Business Leaders for Michigan CEO Summit in Detroit.
From a high level, what does 2018 look like for Herman Miller at this point?
I would say we are generally optimistic about both what's happening economically in the United States and around the globe, and we're even more optimistic about the things that we've been investing in. We think we have a really strong pipeline of things, of new products, and we have a strong pipeline of improvements we're making to the business, so I'd say we go into 2018 generally optimistic.
What's giving you pause at this point?
I think the only thing that makes you pause is there's enough what I would describe as geopolitical noise around the globe, that you go into it optimistic, but a little nervous at one level wondering, 'Hey, what could happen?'
It was about this time last year that you shared some similar concerns. What have you actually seen transpire since then?
Actually, I think on one level, we're almost surprised that there hasn't been more negative impact so far from things like Brexit and all the noise around North Korea and all of those things. So I think so far, we haven't seen any of those overwhelm what we're doing or what we think the economy is doing. But you just can't help but watch every day, the news flow.
Based on what's known so far, what would federal tax reform mean for Herman Miller?
Well, I think if the current discussions that I've seen come to be, it would be good for us — like I think it would for a lot of manufacturers. The discussion is always about all the companies that aren't already paying full taxes, but … we pay at the top rate for the most part. The ability to be able to have more cash flow going forward that we're not paying in taxes, but that we can go reinvest in a business is actually really interesting as a thing for us.
Are there specific parts of the legislation you're paying attention to?
Certainly if they go after immediate deduction of capital goods, that should be helpful because that means for our customers, our products will suddenly be less expensive. … They'll have more cash because they're not paying as much in taxes, and … our stuff will look less expensive to them. So that should all be positive for both us and the industry.
Where might Herman Miller invest some of its tax savings?
We have a significant investment going on in West Michigan in particular, in new manufacturing equipment. A lot of it's to update things that will improve efficiencies, drive further toward automation, which we think is something we've got to keep doing because labor is very hard to find. Also, that will help us in a journey toward being able to do more customization easier, so we're making a significant investment in West Michigan.
Given the struggles of traditional brick-and-mortar stores, how does Herman Miller approach having a physical retail presence these days?
Most of what we're doing on the retail side is actually aimed at consumers for their homes. We do serve businesses with those same products — hotels and that kind of thing. We serve small businesses, but the retail side of it is really aimed at people for their homes. We think there's still a need (with) furniture for people to touch it and feel it in the buying process, so our retail stores are really as much studios for a customer to come in and get an experience about what it's going to be like to build a lifestyle around our products. And then they may order it online, so it's no longer singular. Our consumer reach is both catalog, digital and physical, and those things mix together as an experience.
You seem generally pretty optimistic heading into 2018. Are there any black swan events that could potentially derail that optimism?
I think there's been a lot of noise and rhetoric around trade, and the truth is, we're a trading nation and we have to make sure of our ability to trade. While yes, there's places that we have maybe imbalances in terms of restrictions, on the other hand, the truth is, the globe is pretty darn open today. What I'm more worried about is that we get into more regional (roadblocks). NAFTA, for those in our industry, it's really important that we don't mess it up because there's a lot of free flowing of goods back and forth across the border that I think is good for all three countries, if you will.
You mentioned some U.K. investments earlier. How does Brexit potentially play into this?
Certainly, even when you look at what's going on with Brexit, we have a good-sized business in Europe and particularly in the U.K. Knowing that Brexit is actually done somehow sensibly so the British economy doesn't collapse is really important.
Any other global issues that could upend your thinking?
Those are two that I would point to in particular that we're really watching. Certainly North Korea is a different kettle of fish. It's hard to know. … That isn't about economic drivers as much as it is a much bigger driver.
So you're saying the proliferation of nuclear weapons doesn't bode well for the economy?

Research shows Alaska infrastructure at risk of earlier failure
24-Jun-2021 3:50 PM EDT, by University of Alaska Fairbanks
Newswise — Roads, bridges, pipelines and other types of infrastructure in Alaska and elsewhere in the Arctic will deteriorate faster than expected due to a failure by planners to account for the structures' impact on adjacent permafrost, according to research by a University of Alaska Fairbanks Geophysical Institute permafrost expert and others.
The researchers say planners must account for the sideward repercussions of their projects in addition to the usual projection of the direct top-down effects.
The finding was presented in a May 31 paper in The Cryosphere, a publication of the European Geosciences Union.
UAF Geophysical Institute geophysics professor Vladimir Romanovsky is among the 13 authors of the paper. Principal researcher for the project is Thomas Schneider von Deimling of the Alfred Wegener Institute Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research in Potsdam, Germany.
The research focused on a portion of the Dalton Highway on Alaska's North Slope about 10 miles south of the Prudhoe Bay oil fields. Sensors monitored the temperature at seven locations, three to the west of the highway and four on the east.
The researchers found that top-down thawing isn't confined to the area beneath the road surface. They found instead that thawing spreads outward, leading to destabilization of the embankment and subgrade and that it is caused by the formation of taliks -- areas of ground that have thawed and remains unfrozen year-round -- under a roadway's toe, the prepared zone at the base of the embankment and abutting the natural terrain.
The result, the authors write, is an accelerating thaw rate and earlier than anticipated road failure -- and a warning that other types of Arctic infrastructure such as pipelines, fuel storage tanks and airports will fail sooner than projected.
The fieldwork and subsequent computer modeling of a gravel road built on continuous permafrost found that a slow and gradual thaw will lead to an accelerated "and likely irreversible permafrost degradation" and that "road failure is inevitable once a critical level of ground warming has been reached" absent extensive ground-cooling measures, the authors write.
The authors write that their findings show a shortcoming in other infrastructure risk assessment methods, which fail to adequately capture changes in permafrost and don't analyze the interaction between the infrastructure and the adjacent ground.
Those shortcomings make current estimates of infrastructure failure dates inaccurate.
"You cannot make blank decisions when you're dealing with permafrost," said Romanovsky, a longtime permafrost researcher. "You always have to be more specific about the region, about the amount of ice in permafrost and about the infrastructure itself. And when you take all of this into consideration -- and climate change -- you can make a much more educated decision."
The research will prove more beneficial in the planning of new roads than in the maintenance of existing roads, for which little can be done to change their initial construction. The research will, however, give transportation managers a better idea of when existing roads are likely to fail, Romanovsky said.
"The Department of Transportation can, using these results, understand how much they have to plan to spend to keep roads in good condition," he said. "They have a good idea in the near term, but they don't know what to expect, say, 10 years from now when the permafrost will be even more vulnerable than it is right now and how this thawing process will continue."
The authors conclude by saying it is "crucial to consider climate change effects when planning and constructing infrastructure on permafrost as a transition from a stable to a highly unstable state can well occur within the infrastructure's service lifetime (about 30 years)."
They add that their focus on the Dalton Highway illustrates that "such a transition can even occur in the coming decade for infrastructure built on continuous permafrost that displays cold and relatively stable conditions today."

Ancient Inca mothers delivered their children without outside help. As soon as the baby was born the mother would wash the baby in cold water from a nearby stream. Newborn babies were not given a name for the first year. Instead of a playpen the baby was placed in a hole in the ground soon after it was old enough to crawl. This allowed the mother to work without fear of the baby harming itself. Babies were rarely held. However, they were breast feed for the first year. Soon after being born they were strapped onto a papoose type of board or cradle that was similar to what Native North American Indians used. Babies were kept tied to the board, which was called a quirau for most of the day. Approximately, one year after birth the baby received its first name. At this time, the friends and family held a celebration called rutuchicoy. During the celebration a grandfather or uncle cuts the first lock of hair and guests give the family or child gifts.
All children were expected to work by the age of six. They began by helping with household chores and gathering fruit and nuts. One of the first things young girls learned was weaving. Young boys began by learning about their future jobs. Laziness was not accepted and play always came second to hard work. Few Inca children attended school. Permanent names were given at the time of puberty. The celebration of girls puberty was called quicochicoy. At this time, a girl fasted for three days before she appeared before her family and friends dressed in nice clothing and freshly bathed.
The boys celebration was much larger and usually held during December or Capac Raymi. It was called huarachicoy and it lasted for several weeks. During this time there were enormous meals, dancing, and tests of endurance and strength. It was during this celebration that they received their first weapons. Also, at this time they were required to take a trip to the sacred mountain called Huanacauri. It was on Huanacauri that they would sacrifice a llama in honor of the spirit of the mountain. At this time the young noble boys were expected to have their ears pierced. Then, as they grew older the earlobes would stretch until they could wear large golden earplugs. Sometimes the earplugs would be as large as three inches in diameter. Once they had completed the huarachicoy ceremony they were expected to take on greater responsibility.
Inca men usually married near the age of 25 to girls between the age of 16 to 20. Some marriages were prearranged and some were allowed to chose their partners. However, all had to be approved by the local leader. Once married they lived in a one room house that was built by their own clan or ayllu. At this time the man became a taxpayer and was given a piece of land so that he could produce his own crops. Then, as they had children they were allowed to have � acre per girl and one or two acres for each additional per boy. Inca nobles were allowed to have multiple wives.
Widows did not have to marry again and they were allowed to keep the family land allotment. Also, the widow would be helped at planting and harvest time by her own clan. Disabled and elderly people were not expected to work. They were supported by the government. Almost nobody lived past the age of 50, and if you did live that long you were given appropriate work.


Q&A › Category: Digital Marketing › What are the reliable ways to promote my product to more people?
I have one product but I don't know how to bring it to the masses.
Just marketing through online medium? Plz recommend a reliable way to reach them.
Could you explain more about your product?
I have a Mobile App which is useful for parents to get in touch with their children's school staff and management. Parents can track daily activities, reports etc.
Thank you for explaining further about your product. The best way I believe is to approach schools to adopt your mobile app in their school system. Here're the steps you might need to take.
Get teachers/parents to test your app. If you have not done so. And get their feedback. If they like it, ask them to introduce you to their school principal. You could start by getting to know teachers/parents via teachers/parents associations or from your networks.
Offer them a pilot project at no cost to them or to students/parents. Start with lesser schools since they are easier to work with and has "less" regard for their reputations. Larger schools tend to be more bureaucratic and difficult to penetrate and they also are more concern about their "branding". You'll most probably need to do some customization on your app to suit the school.
Get feedback during the pilot project and continue to improve your product. Remember, its a pilot project and you have all the reasons to make it a successful one. If you succeeded, you could use this school and the project as part of your portfolio and testimonial.
Sell the solution to the next school after the pilot project. You could even start charging the first school after a period of time but your terms to them should be more favorable than to others (remember they were kind enough to be willing to be your testers, your guinea pigs).
Once you reached step #4, it should be more smooth sailing from there onwards. Remember, for B2B market, you must always prove your worthiness to your clients.
Just checking in to see if you need more help. If you do, please post here or you may open a new private question.

Macron Breaks Silence, Promises Tax Relief to Quell Protests
Ludovic Marin/Reuters
French President Emmanuel Macron broke his silence Monday after weeks of violent "yellow vest" protests over a rise in fuel taxes broke out in France's capital city. Macron took partial responsibility for the social unrest, but denounced the violence and vandalism associated with the protests. "We are at a historic moment for our country," the French leader said from the presidential Élysée Palace in Paris. "We will not resume the normal course of our lives." In a demure tone, the president declared an "economic and social state of emergency," ordering the government and parliament to take immediate steps to change tax rules and other policies that protesters rallied behind. Macron responded to several of the protesters' demands, promising to issue a 100-euro increase in the minimum wage, abolish taxes on overtime pay, and slash a tax hike on small pensions. Macron already retreated from the fuel-tax hike that sparked the protests. Despite meeting demands, many protesters hoped only to hear one thing from the president: "I quit."

Meeting In Truth With Ananta
Ananta grew up in London and left England aged 19 with the strong desire to live as a Free Being. This first expressed itself through travel and lead her to Asia in 1989 where she lived until life circumstances brought her back to UK in 2017.
Searching to find the Truth of herself, Her heart was deeply called to a Master and she found her way to the Osho commune in Pune, India where she explored Meditation, Tantra and Self Awareness groups for more than 10 years. As well as working with people for several years in the healing fields, including various forms of bodywork, assisting others through trauma in a transformative, meditative way.
In 1994, Life circumstances led her into a two and half year period of silence in a Zen style retreat in Japan (otherwise known as a Japanese prison). It was during this retreat where True Freedom was realised. Part of this amazing story is shared in her notebook hand written while on trial and has been made available as an ebook: No Way Back ~ Dark Night of the Soul "Awaiting Trial" (read a preview and buy the book here).
Ananta's life and work is Now dedicated to the Awakening of Human Consciousness, and through her own Self-Realization, her main area of focus is Now facilitating, the simple direct recognition of the realization of our True Nature, through all that appears to play in all levels and back to the ordinariness of Life itself.
Ananta's way of sharing includes Direct Self Inquiry, similar to the investigation of 'Who Am I' passed down from Ramana Maharshi. Yet it has now taken on a definite 'Ananta' flavour and after many years of developing in her own unique way, she finds a most easy and simple way of bringing about the Direct Experience and the ever deepening embodying of this realisation so uniquely to every Being who comes to her.
Living from this point of clear seeing and deepest knowing, there is the invitation to meet all 'unfinished business' in Truth. This carries over into a unique expression of Divine/Humanness where All is welcome Here.
Ananta currently resides in the UK where she provides private guidance sessions, holds regular meetings, and retreats and she also has an online membership Sangha where she guides Beings from around the globe through regular Satsangs.
Ananta has been interviewed a number of times over the years and these can be viewed here.
In addition she has hundreds of YouTube and SoundCloud clips available for free at: https://www.youtube.com/user/anantakrantiful and https://soundcloud.com/anantakranti

Beauty bloggers are constantly reviewing products like eye shadow palettes, lipsticks, foundations, etc. I know a lot of them get the products for free, but don't a lot of the products go to waste? You can't possibly use up a 24 eye-shadow palette in less than 6 months, can you? It'd take me a year plus.
I'm beginning to get confused because I could have sworn it was pronounced "Nigh-Jee-Ria." But you put on the radio or TV and the broadcasters pronounce it as "Nigh-JEH-Ria." Someone said it's based on region, but I'm sure it's because of people trying to speak with an accent and now they've forgotten how to pronounce it.
I'm thinking of starting up a website - NaijaPees.com - This website would basically be a photo-based public-shaming of all these men in Nigeria that feel the need to pee in public!!! It's so bloody annoying. Basically, if you see someone peeing in the streets, run up (actually drive so you can run away quicker), take a snapshot on your phone, and submit it to the website.
I wish I had a driver. I mean that was one of things I most looked forward to before I moved back. It's been almost 3 years (WOW, time flies) and yet, no driver. The thing that scares me is getting someone who will disappear with the car, or get into an accident. Yes, I have stranger-trust issues, but who doesn't?
It's NI-JEER-IA. Think of how Algeria or Liberia is pronounced. It's the same thing with Nigeria. It's neither NI-JEE-RIA or NI-JEH-RIA.
But who cares though? As long as I know that you mean Naija, there shouldn't be any problem. Hahahaha!!
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, isn't it LI-BAY-RIA? Now I'm truly confused.
I thought I got it all pronounced properly.. Now you people are confusing me lol.
I like pees website - haha.. The Lagos state government should even pay you a commission for it - Helping them to enforce the law + catch culprits who will pay the fine!
I'm down with point No. 4. I saw a guy just this afternoon bringing out his "ish" and doing it on the street. Its really annoying.
1. A lot of beauty bloggers do giveaways, are makeup artists or simply use a lot of products daily so I'm sure that helps a bit.
3. Fiber is a good thing. I like juice and yay for more fruit but I feel you.
@ having a driver. You can collect your keys when you get to work and had it back at the end of the day. My sis did with her driver after her colleague's driver stole her car. Also install a tracker.
Berry I'm with you on No 4. The website would be flooded with pictures in no time considering how much Nig men pee in public. .. disgusting.
i saw a guy pee by the road just beside where i was seated in the car. He peed and then farted for good measure. I was just looking away trying not to notice when I heard "brraap!" I was like no way. It was def a once in a lifetime experience.
Imagine seeing a family member on a site like Naijapees (^_^) That would be hilariousss. Unfortunately, Nigerian public toilets are nothing to write home about. And what's a man to do when he really needs to pee LOL!

Work by David Kroll ranges from $2900 -$25,000.
David Kroll uses a repertoire of lush backdrops of sepia-toned landscapes fore-grounded with isolated objects such as vases, fruit and birds. These still-life elements are held in place with the febrile register of sentient life in the form of minutely detailed fauna and insect life that give a sense of arrested motion to all of his pictorial imagery. Kroll's paintings are of internal worlds. They are of private memories trapped, as if in amber, within a time of glowing solitude--- a proto-Romanticist's recollection in a moment of tranquility. Within that solitary moment the hushed expectancy in Kroll's paintings settles over scale shifts in which fore-, mid- and background space mesh as a seamless whole. Each painting is the stage for the artist's deliberately conflated landscapes, still-lifes and naturalistic imagery. It is where a sense of the fragility of life, ever-present, is a recurring motif and in which the perpetual suggestion of mortality and evanescence predominates over the artist's naturalistic scenarios.
Kroll's mysterious paintings can be seen as hybrid works incorporating both plein-air allusions placed paradoxically within the suggested confines of staged mis-en-scenes. In these confines hovering bees, fluttering butterflies, scurrying salamanders, atavistically cautious and alert egrets and myriad other fauna give the sensation of restrained movement in restricted spaces. This sensation intensifies the suggested visual trope that is set in place by the artist in all of his works: an internal world suddenly exposed. In this world a curtain of vision has suddenly been pushed aside to unveil for the first time a particular type of dramatic pictorial eloquence that commands attention from the viewer.
David Kroll has exhibited widely throughout the country and is in many important public and private collections including: The Gund Collection, MA; Microsoft Corporation, WA; Philip Morris, NY; Prudential, NJ; MacArthur Foundation, IL.
This exquisite 112 page book published by Marquand Books features essays by James Yood and Linda Tesner and includes 72 color plates celebrating the life and work of David Kroll.
David Kroll (American, b.1956) is a contemporary Surrealist artist whose powerful use of color and blend of styles has gained him fame and recognition as one of the leading Postmodernist painters. Kroll paints personal refuges and interior landscapes - places to visit for solace and sanctuary. Much of his work is intuitive, his paintings are more than visually interesting compositions of creatures, objects and environments. They are imagined, invented moments that touch upon man's complicated, perplexing relationship with nature. Each painting reveals more paradoxes than resolutions inviting the viewer to contemplate how disconnected we are from nature. David Kroll creates an emotional and intellectual connection between the viewer and the power of landscape, the independent web of life, the idea of nature itself.
Kroll's brief stay in Chicago and subsequent move to Vashon Island, WA, played a great role in his connection to nature. His works mostly feature birds, fish, small animals, and insects, juxtaposed in still life with magnificent European and Asian vases, bowls, and cups. Executed with the technical expertise of a Dutch master, the paintings combine the realism of nature morte with the lively presence of brightly colored birds, insects and fish to create surreal, entrancing interior landscapes.
David Kroll was born in Phoenix, AZ, and received a BFA in Painting, Drawing, and Printmaking from the San Francisco Art Institute in 1980, and an MFA in Painting and Drawing from the School of the Art Institute in Chicago in 1986.He taught at School of the Art Institute of Chicago for almost 20 years. He has had numerous gallery and museum exhibitions. There have been several articles about David Kroll, including 'Seattle's Grover/Thurston Gallery moves, marks 20 years' written by Michael Upchurch for The Seattle Times in 2011.

The shortage of qualified truck drivers is discussed on a daily basis. The same cannot be said for a shortage of technicians to service today's trucks.
"With almost no young people entering the workforce, it can definitely be classified as a crisis," said Kenneth Calhoun, vice chairman of the Technology & Maintenance Council of American Trucking Associations.
"Diesel techs are almost as much in demand, if not more so, than drivers," said Don Lefeve, CEO of the Commercial Vehicle Training Association.
That reality prompted Mike Betts, CEO of the Betts Co., to do something about the dire need for technicians in California's trucking-centric Central Valley region.
With an investment in excess of $9 million derived from the Fresno Business Council and its educational and governmental partners, a diesel tech program is set to begin this fall at Duncan Polytechnical High School (DPHS) in Fresno, with similar programs expected to open in two nearby towns in 2019.
Cara Jurado, Duncan's college and career readiness coordinator, said that when the school's roughly 9,000-sq.-ft. facility is completed, it will include two indoor truck bays and an outdoor bay, as well as an in-ground alignment pit with stadium seating around the front of the truck. The facility's shop will have cameras and mounted television screen. When someone is underneath a truck, the work they're doing can be viewed in the attached classroom.
Duncan's curriculum will be taught by ASE master-certified technician Eric Rubio, who has military, industry, and educational experience. The course requires 740 hours of instruction and shop time. Juniors will spend two periods per day in the program, while seniors will spend three. More than 10 local heavy-truck shops have expressed an interest in having Duncan students work as interns so they can apply their learning in a real world setting.
That's also working for the program at Gentry Career Technical and Education Center in Arkansas, which began in early 2016. Gentry's students get 12 credit hours at nearby Northwest Technical Institute while attending high school.
"We listened to our business partners about what skills our students were missing when they were applying for jobs or starting jobs," said Brae Harper, Gentry principal. The program's diesel tech instructor, Tyson Sontag, spends much of his time teaching instead of fixing trucks for McKee Foods, which pays his salary.
That's the biggest example of how McKee Foods decided to be proactive about the company's headache in finding technicians.
Williams expects the diesel tech shortage to perhaps top 100,000 by 2025, adding, "the tech schools cannot meet that demand." Hence the move to attract younger students.
Christie Toland, assistant superintendent of the Gentry School District, said that she had been the only high school representative at TMC's annual meeting for three years until she met Duncan's Rubio earlier this year.
Toland previously spearheaded a diesel tech program at North Little Rock High in Arkansas.
"These seem to be uncharted waters," said Toland, whose program received a boost in 2016 after local voters approved a 3.1% property tax increase that raised $2.8 million to take Gentry's students out of an old bus garage and into a state-of-the-art facility on campus.
Lincoln Tech, one of the nation's top producers of diesel technicians, partners with the nearby Bergen County (New Jersey) Public Schools, allowing high school students to use its facilities.
Toland, who introduces students as young as fifth grade to the idea of being technicians, said such programs can be a hard sell to parents with four-year colleges on their minds for their children.
The program certifies several hundred new diesel techs every 18 months. And yet, the worker shortage continues to grow. So getting programs started on the high school level can make a difference.


LSU makes scouting receivers difficult (I suppose that's the price you pay for rolling out two dynamic running backs.) Gone are the days of Jarvis Landry and Odell Beckham.
Malachi Dupre is 6'3″ and the kind of player you look at and expect to see big things. He uses his body reasonably well, which makes him especially dangerous on slants. He's a little shiftier than you'd expect with the ball, using a hesitation move to create space and gain extra yards. I was more impressed with his 2015 tape than what I saw this year, but both were reasonably small samplings. If you're a highlight junky, strap yourself in for a few three minute clips of Dupre catching back shoulder fades over a smaller defender. He should be a very good red zone target even at the next level.
Dupre doesn't get off the line with the explosion that you'd like to see. He doesn't get on defenders quickly, using his size to gain whatever separation he gets. He tended to body catch from time to time, but even that was a little timid; there were times when a defender was able to punch the ball out or simply take it away from Dupre. There were a staggering amount of drops in the short time I watched him; lots of balls end up near his hands but few in them. Even one of his most impressive plays, high pointing the football over defenders, was a double catch. To be fair, I am not through digging for more tape on Dupre, but so far, I'm tepid at best. He's got an NFL profile, but a ways to go to realize it.

MT6755 Is The latest SoC With An Octa-Core Cortex-A53 CPU
Omar Sohail • May 19, 2015 07:22 PM EDT
While the headlines are being plastered with MediaTek's deca-core processor that has been codenamed Helio X20, the Taiwanese semiconductor manufacturing firm has released the successor of its MT6735 SoC, MT6755. The mobile chipset is expected to deliver sufficient amount of performance, thanks to its ARM Cortex-A53 CPU that is running at a clock speed of 2.0 GHz. Keep in mind that handsets like Lenovo K3 Note and Meizu M1 Note are running the company's MT6752 SoC (Octa-core Cortex-A53 at 1.7 GHz), which can breeze past the likes of OnePlus One, Galaxy S5 and One M8, which are all incorporated with Snapdragon 801. With MT6755, MediaTek will be raising the performance bar once more, increasing its hold on the mid-ranged chipset market.
MT6755 Supports Up To A 21 MP Camera Sensor, FHD Display And Cat 6 LTE Modem
Similar to Huawei, MediaTek refrained from incorporating Cortex-A57 cores in its 'system on a chip' primarily because the processor is unable to deliver performance in comparison to the amount of heat it produces. Just like Elephone P7000, the clock speed of Cortex-A53 has been increased to raise the performance barrier to new heights. Additionally, MT6755 will pack enough punch to render the 1080p resolution on smartphone displays, along with support for a 21 megapixel camera sensor.
While the chipset might not provide support for recording 4K videos, handsets running MT6755 will still be able to record 1080p videos at a steady 30 FPS. Moreover, a Category 6 LTE modem (300 Mbps/50 Mbps download/upload) will be present inside the SoC, allowing affordable handsets to exude impressive wireless network carrier speeds.
In contrast to MT6755, MT6753 only provides support for a Cat 4 LTE modem, and a Cortex-A53 whose clock speed is far lower compared to the former. MediaTek has not stated details concerning the first batch of smartphones that will be sporting MT6755, but we are confident that several Chinese smartphone manufacturers are going to take note of MediaTek's advancements and as a result, would line up to partner with the Taiwanese firm.
Seeing as how Snapdragon 810 is being plagued with overheating issues, Qualcomm would most likely have jeopardized future ventures with smartphone firms like Xiaomi, since it was reported that the rising Chinese smartphone company is entering the custom core race like Samsung. In the near future, smartphone consumers will most likely be seeing mid-ranged handsets running MT6755 and will carry affordable price tags. Through this approach, MediaTek is planning on bridging the performance gap between flagship smartphones and those that carry an impressive price/performance ratio.

Groupon shares are climbing on a report that it is actively seeking a buyer. The coupon site has approached several companies to try to drum up interest, Recode reported over the weekend. Groupon shares gained 47 cents to close Monday at $4.83. They slipped slightly Tuesday. The stock is down more than 80 percent from the peak after Groupon's 2011 initial public offering, including a 15 percent drop so far this year. Speculation on potential buyers has included Alphabet, Facebook, Apple and Amazon.com. Many analysts have considered Groupon to be undervalued and underappreciated.
That's how much shares of San Francisco cloud software company Twilio have risen this year, adding $3.4 billion in market value. Twilio's software facilitates communications like text messages and phone calls for more than 50,000 customers, including Nordstrom and eBay. The company went public in 2016, and revenue was up 44 percent last year. Analysts expect a 36 percent increase this year.
Southwest Airlines has touted fares so low passengers can "fly for peanuts." But as of Aug. 1, it said Tuesday, the nuts will no longer fly. The airline cited concerns about passengers with allergies in the decision to drop the free packets of peanuts from the in-flight snack menu: "Our ultimate goal is to create an environment where all customers — including those with peanut-related allergies — feel safe and welcome on every Southwest flight." Instead, passengers will get free pretzels, and other free snacks on longer flights.
