Dumb and Wealthy
Charles Murray's book The Bell Curve argued, I'm told, that America's wealthy upper class naturally accrues money but it is smarter, thereby proving any idiot can write a book. But how is it, then, that so many wealthy people are so stupid?
Case in point: Chicago Cubs owner and CEO Thomas Ricketts. Earlier this week a heavy rain interrupted a game, and the ground crew at Wrigley Field were unable to cover the field with a tarp, and the game was called. The reason the crew failed is that there weren't nearly enough of them present to do the job. And the reason for that is that Cubs management decided to save money by limiting the number of hours the grounds crew could work so that the Cubs didn't have to pay for health insurance or be penalized.
"Cheap," said one of three high-ranking officials from other organizations the Sun-Times contacted Thursday – all of whom fall below the Cubs on Forbes' annual revenues list.
Speaking to the industry standard for grounds crew staffing, all three officials said the video of Tuesday's incident showed an apparently "undermanned" crew (of 15 pulling the tarp on the night's first unsuccessful try).
"Embarrassing," said one, "and they got caught."
Also, too:
A spokesman for the Cubs, which are reportedly worth $1 billion and were the most profitable team in baseball in 2013, didn't refute the claims when asked by the Sun-Times, but he denied personnel changes were responsible for the field tarp incident.
I guess one could argue you've got to be pretty smart to make the Cubbies the most profitable team in baseball in 2013, but they also came in last in the National League Central Division in 2013. In fact, the Cubbies were the only National League Central Division team that had a losing record at home in 2013. They were third from the bottom in the entire National League in 2013. It looks like they're third from the bottom of the National League standings right now. Obviously, management keeps profits up by under-investing in the product.
Yeah, I know, it's the Cubbies; they take pride in being losers. I don't know why Chicago puts up with this, though. Eric Loomis:
The only problem with the Cubs enduring another 100+ years of failure is that it gives their fans a meme to organize around. Would another deserved 100 years help or make the franchise and its fans even more annoying, if that's possible?
OK, so maybe it's not Chicago Cubs management that's dumb.

Depends. Donald Sterling bought the LA Clippers in 1981 for $12 million and ran the club on the cheap. It took me many years to figure out that there really was another major basketball team in LA besides the Lakers. Thirty years later, Steve Ballmer buys them for $2 billion, which nearly everyone thinks is nuts, but then Steve can afford it, and he thinks he can do great things with the club.

The irony here, is that Wrigley Field was built as for a Federal League team – the Chicago Whales (Whales? Really?) – a fairly pro-player league.
The Federal League came together in early 1913 through the work of John T. Powers, and immediately challenged the operations of organized baseball.
Playing in what detractors called the "outlaw" league allowed players to avoid the restrictions of the organized leagues' reserve clause. The competition of another, better paying league caused players' salaries to skyrocket, demonstrating the bargaining potential of free agency for the first time."
So, maybe it was the ghosts of all of those old Whales players haunting their park, seeing what the rich psychopathic greed-heads who own the team were doing to working people, who decided to f*ck around with that tarp.
FSM know, the "Ricketteers" deserve far worse.

I think a lot of us tend to think of intelligence as a general characteristic. If a person has great insight or talent in one area, we value their pronouncements on areas outside of their expertise. They are more than willing to play along because it adds to their social status or they, themselves, come to believe that their gift extends beyond its true borders. Ben Carson is a good example, great and gifted surgeon, but kind of a dim bulb in other ways.
Rich people are often sterling examples, because in general, people assume that everyone would love to be rich. So the wealthy have won some kind of great competition and are therefore, the top of the heap. But, becoming rich requires other talents and often a healthy dose of sociopathy and killer instinct. It also requires a kind of single mindedness that most of us would not envy at all. Great intelligence is not a necessity.
If they ever revive "The Twilight Zone," I suppose there could be one of those "Monkey's Paw" type episodes where the unwitting protagonist will be granted one wish. He wishes for great wealth and social status, and wakes the next morning in unfamiliar but lavish surroundings. On the wall is a huge, ornate mirror. The protagonist walks toward it and glances in the glass. A look of horror sweeps across his face. He has become Mitt Romney!
Fade to black, with ominous music.
wmd,
The owners, like the players, need to warm-up and practice.
This way, when it's game-time, they'll have perfected screwing their workers.

That is complete bullshit, cub fans are lifers (I is one), I love the cubs for many reasons but mostly the ballpark, it is by far the best in baseball (though the Ricketts have been trying to fuck it up since they bought the team). Plus who the hell else can a Chicago fan root for the white sox? This Rickett fellow is just another entitled trust fund baby. It seems obvious to me that old money can foster ignorance and complacency! And not having enough grounds crew to pull a tarp over your multi-million dollar historic baseball field is just plain ignorant!

Anyone who has watched baseball owners, or any sports' team owner, negotiate with their players should not be surprised. And baseball is particularly the worst at this. For some reason, these owners believe that fans come to the ballpark to see them, uh, sit in their seats? It couldn't happen to a nicer club. The Cubs are the example that proves the rule; you get what you pay for. And Cubs' fans have paid, and paid, and paid…. and got nothing in return. Simply put, the cubs suck.
The irony for many who follow sports is that one of the more successful franchises in the past 20 year, the Green Bay Packers, is a wholly owned commodity of the City of Green Bay: population 100,000 ish. The NFL, which is really America's pass-time now, is a completely socialist endeavor with revenue sharing equally amongst the teams. And the league lauds it as the strength of their game.
So, anytime that a sport's owner gets caught with his/her pants down, or gets screwed, I'm fine with it. My guess is there's many more business owners who will pull the same kind of crap, and have done so in the past, and if they get caught screwing their workers, so much the better.

buckeyblue,
It was Wellington Mara who agreed to share revenue evenly. He was the owner of the NY Giants, and he didn't have to do that. He was just a very wise man, and realized that if all teams shared, they'd all do better, and make higher profits.
Jerry Jones, the current Dallas Cowboys owner is trying to end that sharing of revenues – not in all aspects, just in some.
Oh, and speaking of greedy douche-canoe's owners and their Commissioner, the NFL wants the Super Bowl halftime music act TO PAY THE NFL for the privilege for the honor of doing so.
And not only that, they then want a piece of that act's next tour.
How feckin' greedy can these rich and privileged @$$clown be?
Don't answer that!
The Billionaire Boys Club of the NFL would stab their mothers for a penny!

The biggest waste of time and space is the Super Bowl Halftime Show. I have been watching football since before there was a Super Bowl. I have yet to see a Super Bowl Halftime show. I use that time to take my nightly bath. On a couple of occasions since I retired, I turned to another station during the halftime because I live on the west coast and it is on very early in the evening. Thus, I take my bath after the Super Bowl. But, I still find better ways to spend my time than watching the Super Bowl halftime show.
As far as the Cubs go, it seems to me that they are an example of today's rich (who are only rich because of inheritance) stupidity.
Bonnie, most years I forget there is a Super Bowl, except that I do try to catch some of the Puppy Bowl.

Uncledad: not to make this a flame war but I'll have to courteously disagree with you on Wrigley. I love Wrigleyville and the bars/grills within walking distance of the Park. But I'm hoping the changes they have planned for the stadium brings it up to some of the more recent stadium amenities; like unobstructed seats.
Bonnie: the half-time show could completely go away and I couldn't be happier. The usual fifteen minutes would work fine for me.
Without revenue sharing in the NFL the league would become uninteresting. Football is such that you can buy yourself a championship. Baseball is so fickle that the money you spend does have a tendency to ensure wins, but it's not a hard and fast rule. In football, put a top-rated quarterback with a top notch line and receivers and a killer defense and you would win SBs one right after the other. Basketball does that and I find it pretty boring, and I'm much more of a bball fan than anything else. I think they should reward smarts on the general manager spot and outstanding coaching, not the ability to go out and buy players. Revenue sharing allows that to happen, which of course is why the 'Boys have struggled of late. JJ can pretty much stuff any other ideas where the sun don't shine.

I just watched Bill Moyers & Company and his conversation with Joseph Stiglitz. It was terrific and needs to be seen by all Americans who care about their country. Here is the website:
http://billmoyers.com/episode/joseph-e-stiglitz-let%E2%80%99s-stop-subsidizing-tax-dodgers/
This is information that needs to be shouted from the mountaintops, shown to all the low information voters/Americans (e.g., Fox viewers), and even, perhaps, drop Stiglitz's report from airplanes all over American. This is the kind of thing that will take Americans to their Howard Beale moment and make them "mad as hell and not take it any more." Perhaps, we in this community could make a plan to do our part to get this information out . . . Any suggestions?

The spokesman didn't refute the claims, but he also denied the claims…that statement doesn't make any sense at all. At first I thought it was a typo here, but when I linked to the article it said exactly that too. How can you not refute the claim but deny it too?
Either the reporter got the statement wrong or he let the statement go without questioning how a statement can be both truth and false at the same time. Are we, as the reading public so desensitized to hearing contradictory statements in the same sentence, that we just let them pass?
Or have we just stopped thinking about what we read/hear in the mainstream newspapers/new broadcasts altogether?
Is that comment about not paying 1/2 time acts true or are you just having us on? Because the idea of an act paying to perform is just crazy. Who would do that?

"they have planned for the stadium "
Bonnie, it is not a stadium it is a field, thanks for proving my point!
"more recent stadium amenities; like unobstructed seats"
Wrigley is an old park, that is the charm, if you want modern ammenities go to 35th and shields I think you can even get a mocha latte there!
This is a common example of how the free market and private enterprise handle social problems. They avoid finding a solution for them, until they are forced to find one. In the meantime, they work relentlessly to remove any of the societal or economic "levers" that the common stock of humanity might use to pressure them into finding a solution.
The glorious free market and private enterprise could, if the utopian capitalists are to be believed, find an elegantly efficient healthcare system, with perfectly distributed, state of the art medical care. People might pay for their care with bitcoins or chickens, depending on their preference, and swiftly return to the creation of wealth and enlightened self interest, if only certain inferior types would get out of the way.
One of the joys of being wealthy is that stupid mistakes don't cost you much, even if they have a wide or deep impact. There might be some modest cost of tweaking the public relations strategy or finding the right "spin." But, that comes with the territory, and that's part of the fun if you are a cluster B personality type.

The following clip might well represent a situation in which the free market prepares to handle the healthcare crisis, once market forces have properly aligned to bring about rational change.
Sondra,
I'm not clever enough to think of something like that to pull people's legs:

Coming Next Week: 2019 RHSU Edu-Scholar Public Influence Rankings
Opinion Blog
Rick Hess Straight Up
Education policy maven Rick Hess of the American Enterprise Institute think tank offers straight talk on matters of policy, politics, research, and reform.
By Rick Hess — January 04, 2019 1 min read
Rick Hess
Opinion Contributor, Education Week
Rick Hess is a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute and the director of the think tank's Education Policy Studies.
Just a heads up, next week we'll be running the 2019 RHSU Edu-Scholar Public Influence Rankings. We'll be recognizing and ranking the 200 edu-scholars who had the biggest influence on the nation's education discourse last year. The exercise is designed to balance academe's unfortunate tendency to discount scholars that make real, relevant contributions to vital public policy debates.
The Public Influence Rankings aim to recognize university-based education scholars, of any discipline or bent, for their contributions to the public square. Edu-scholar influence encompasses both the corpus of one's scholarly work and one's centrality to public discussion in the past year. After all, a scholar's influence is a product of several factors, including their body of scholarship, the degree to which their work has influenced today's researchers, their willingness to wade into public discourse, and the energy and effectiveness with which they write for and speak to popular audiences.
The 200 ranked scholars include the top finishers from 2018 and at-large selections chosen by the RHSU Selection Committee, a group of 29 accomplished and disciplinarily, intellectually, and geographically diverse scholars (the full list will be posted and acknowledged next week). Bottom line: Regardless of where they rank, each of the 200 scholars deserves a lot of credit just for cracking the list. And, since that credit isn't always forthcoming in academe, I'm hoping we can help correct for that—if only a little.

The Corrymeewa Community is a Christian community whose objective is de promotion of reconciwiation and peace-buiwding drough de heawing of sociaw, rewigious, and powiticaw divisions in Nordern Irewand. It runs programmes aimed at estabwishing a shared society defined by towerance, where differences are resowved drough diawogue in de pubwic sphere and where dere is eqwity, respect for diversity and recognition of interdependence.
The Corrymeewa Bawwycastwe Centre overwooks Radwin Iswand.

Corrymeewa was founded in 1965 by Ray Davey, awong wif John Morrow and Awex Watson, as an organisation seeking to aid individuaws and communities which suffered drough de viowence and powarisation of de Nordern Irish confwict.
Earwy members were Christians in de Nordern Irish from diverse backgrounds who wanted to begin a new community which couwd counter apady and compwacency and open up new possibiwities.
In earwy 1965, to give de community a physicaw gadering pwace, Corrymeewa moved to de Howiday Fewwowship Centre near Bawwycastwe in County Antrim. The new centre was formawwy opened dat same year by Pastor Tuwwio Vinay, founder of de Agape Community, which was one of Ray Davey's greatest inspirations.
Its structure formawised, and a counciw was ewected wif Davey serving as treasurer and secretary. Corrymeewa opened for de pubwic in November 1965, opening itsewf as a pwace for Christian reconciwiation in Nordern Irewand.
Corrymeewa was awarded de Niwano Peace Prize in 1997, in honour of "its contribution to significantwy to interrewigious cooperation, dereby furdering de cause of worwd peace."

Jason Miller caused more 'Mayhem' yesterday when he barricaded himself in his home when the police showed up at his door regarding an arrest warrant for three separate felony charges including injured spouse, criminal contempt and stalking, resulting in a stand-off lasting several hours with a SWAT team.
The troubled former UFC and Strikeforce fighter, who also once had his own MTV show 'Bully Beatdown', posted on Twitter multiple times during the three hour stand-off informing his followers what was going on from his perspective.
"I need to tell everyone about the absolute waste of resources going on outside of my house right now," he wrote on Twitter. "I am counting no less than 5 officers. they also have allocated use of a chopper, which cost approx. 12 Grand an Hour to operate, along with taking time away from REAL emergencies. They have threatened me with a dog bite and are amassing a great force that includes a spotter in the neighbors yard and an uncharasmaticman who continues to remind me that they are here serving a warrant for my arrest. I have not committed any crime, but yet i am forced HERE.
Thankfully the situation didn't escalate any further and after three hours with a SWAT team outside, police helicopters flying overhead and the media and onlookers gathered in the street, 'Mayhem' finally turned himself over to the police peacefully.
Miller is now in jail on a $200,000 bond and is set to appear in court on October 14th, with an additional charge of .
Read the full incident report from the Orange County Sheriff's Department below.
"At approximately 10:00 a.m. this morning, deputies attempted to serve the outstanding arrest on Miller in the driveway of the residence located at 26262 Avenida Calidad. Miller fled on foot and retreated into the residence where he remained barricaded for approximately four hours. Numerous commands and directives were made to Miller in an attempt to gain his compliance and surrender to deputies.
And here's video footage of the moment when Miller was finally arrested and taken into custody.

What you need to know about the world of technology and science
I'm the first in my family to go to university.
I have an MBA and a Ph.
D. from Princeton.
But, like so many Americans, I didn't really get to see a lot of research done on the Internet until I was a graduate student in the 1980s.
When I graduated, I was the first computer science professor at an American university.
I had never been a programmer.
I didn.
So, in 1983, I did some work on a new computer program called the SRI, short for Scientific Research Information System.
It was a new kind of computer software.
In my class, I would make sure that students could actually read the computer code and understand what it was doing.
This was the beginning of the Internet.
In fact, it was the only thing I did in my first year at the university.
That was in 1985.
But it wasn't long before other students and faculty started to use the Internet for their own projects.
The SRI was an early model for a modern Internet.
The way we all started to connect to the Internet in the mid-1990s was through a program called Netscape Navigator.
This program was a web browser that allowed you to access sites from around the world, including the Internet at large.
When we first used Netscape, we were using it to connect with friends and family in a very, very primitive way.
But with the help of the Netscape browser, I became the first programmer ever to write a web page that was able to support all the kinds of functionality that you might find in a modern browser.
And so, it became the beginning, I think, of what is now called the Internet 2.0.
Netscape brought many things to the forefront of the Web.
But what really caught my eye was Netscape 2.1.
Netsoc 2.2 was the last version of Netscape that I wrote, and it was, in my opinion, the most powerful.
It had the largest user base in history.
It allowed you, in a sense, to go directly from a browser to a Web page.
And what Netscape had that Netscape 1.0 didn't was the ability to build and distribute new software to a large group of users.
It required that a large amount of money was raised by the software's developers.
And the money was needed to make the software work and be maintained.
But that money was paid for through the software developers.
That is, the software was paid by the users, not the developers.
You could never, in the early days, say to me, "Hey, I'm going to sell the software and pay for the software developer to keep it going."
That would just be foolish.
That would not work.
The software developers needed to be paid, and so the developers would have to have that revenue.
But the software had to be maintained, and that was where Netscape was able, in some ways, to help solve the problems that were going on in the computer industry.
It didn't have to be an expensive process.
In the late 1980s, a lot more people were starting to use a computer as their primary work device.
The people who were most interested in programming at that time were computer scientists, who had to learn a whole new set of skills and take on a whole different set of responsibilities.
And, you know, I spent my time trying to get a lot smarter about programming and making things faster.
And I did it by learning programming languages, by doing some computer science work, by working on programming tools.
And that helped me tremendously in the late '80s and early '90s.
And by the time I left college in 1994, the computer programming language was pretty much the only programming language that people were learning.
By 1995, I had learned enough to be the only one at my university who actually did programming.
So I started to get to work on some projects that were not about programming.
I started working on projects that involved people learning to build computer systems.
I also started to work in systems administration.
And my colleagues at my school started to realize that I was learning all these new skills that were new to them.
So by the late 1990s, I realized that this was the next big opportunity for me.
It wasn't that I had just started to learn to program.
I had been programming since I was 13, and I was already a very good programmer.
But I had a new, bigger challenge.
I wasn't going to be able to get the job done in my current job.
I was going to have to learn different languages, different skills.
So for the next five years, I learned programming languages like C, Java, and C++.
I did my undergrad in computer science and was a big student of Microsoft Office.
And then, in 1998, I started a company called Microsoft Research, and by 2001, I decided to move to the United States.
I went to the University of Southern California

Greatest Film Scenes
and Moments
Title Screen Movie Title/Year and Scene Descriptions Screenshots
The Woman on the Beach (1947) (aka La Femme Sur La Plage (Fr.), or Desirable Woman)
Jean Renoir's moody, overwrought and nightmarish erotic melodrama was a psychological character study about a tormented love triangle. It was the director's final American film during wartime exile. The film, Renoir's best Hollywood work, was severely edited by RKO after a disastrous preview screening, leaving it as only a fragment of what it could have been at 71 minutes. Its main femme fatale star Joan Bennett had already just starred in two back-to-back film noirs for director Fritz Lang, The Woman in the Window (1944) and Scarlet Street (1945). This film had similar themes: lust, promiscuity, loneliness, jealousy, and damaged personalities.
Shell-shocked, traumatized, unbalanced and disturbed WWII Coast Guard veteran officer Lieutenant Scott Burnett (Robert Ryan) was stationed near a desolate California coastline during recuperation from post-traumatic stress due to a maritime battle tragedy (he admitted later: "I'm not well"). The patrolman was haunted by his combat days, seeing "ghosts" and suffering nightmares of a shipwreck following a torpedo attack. He dreamt that he sank into a whirlpool, was drowned and walking on the ocean floor littered with skeletons while a glowing woman beckoned to him from afar. When he approached close to the woman, he embraced her.
Lt. Scott Burnett (Robert Ryan) Experiencing
Nightmare of War-Time Drowning
Scott was engaged to wholesome and sweet but bland local girl Eve Geddes (Nan Leslie), a blonde worker at the local shipyard, Bill Geddes' Boat Yard (Building & Repairing), where her father was a boat-builder. She resembled the blonde in his underwater dream. Their marriage was set to occur in two weeks.
Meanwhile, while riding mounted on the foggy California beach, he sighted an unknown brunette who was smoking a cigarette seated next to an abandoned shipwreck ('woman on the beach'). During another ride shortly later, he met the vixenish siren again while she was collecting wood - she identified herself as Peggy Butler (Joan Bennett), the film's sexy femme fatale, with whom he was immediately smitten. He helped her bring a heavy stack of firewood to her isolated cliff-top house, where she lived and was married to older renowned blind painter Tod Butler (Charles Bickford).
The callous wife Peggy was involved in an unhappy, imprisoning, and dysfunctional love-hate marriage to an excessively-jealous, troubled, surly and grumpy man. Tod had become embittered due to the loss of his career's livelihood ("I assure you a blind painter's just the same as a dead man") - he was unable to paint, but knew that the value of his paintings would increase due to his lack of continuing output ("Now that I can't paint anymore, this stuff of mine gets more valuable every day"). He had locked his paintings in a closet to keep them intact, while Peggy encouraged him to sell them so they could maintain a better lifestyle. He also expected that his wife was cheating on him and would soon eliminate him: "You think I need eyes to tell me you want to get rid of me? You murderous little sneak!" However, he still perversely encouraged visits by Scott to see Peggy, and wasn't 'blind' to their passion.
During Scott's illicit affair with the slutty Peggy, she became more obsessively guilt-ridden as she snuck kisses and embraces, while vowing her hatred for Tod: ("Love him? I hate him"). At one point, she had met secretly with Scott in the beached, rotting ship's hull (while her unseeing husband approached the porthole - and they feared he sensed them there). Nonetheless, she still believed she had to stay with Tod because she had caused her husband's blindness (by cutting his optic nerve with a glass thrown at him) during a drunken brawl. She felt responsible for him and bound to him.
As an aspiring upper-class socialite and a playgirl earlier in her life, however, Peggy felt confined by her meager, lowly, and isolated lifestyle, and immediately felt a strong attraction to the virile Coast Guardsman. Peggy and Scott both felt that that had lost something major in their lives and were haunted by "ghosts" ("Have you ever had everything and suddenly had nothing? Nothing but ghosts?"). He confided in her that they were very similar: "We're pretty much alike, aren't we?"
Various Views of Femme Fatale Peggy Butler, Alluring to Scott
Paranoid about being found out, and suspecting that Tod's blindness was faked in order to manipulate Peggy, Scott took it upon himself to prove or test that Tod's blindness was not real: ("If I could prove to you that Tod wasn't really blind, would you leave him?"). In one extraordinary scene to disprove his disability, he led the painter along a cliffside and then abandoned him. Tod did fall to the beach below and injured himself with bad bruises, but not seriously. Afterwards, Scott confessed the truth of the cliff incident, and Tod (who was truly blind) accepted the apology.
Peggy's past was revealed to Scott - she had been involved with Eve's deceased brother Bill, and admitted she was a nymphomaniacal seductress: ("Go on. Say it - I'm a tramp. You're just finding that out?"). She also suffered abuse at the hands of her wife-beating husband. When Tod discovered that his deceitful wife had hidden what he considered his masterpiece - a nude portrait of her, and that she was planning to secretly sell it (to use the profits to improve their living conditions), he was furious about letting go of his past: ("Everything I saw in life, I set down on canvas. If I let them go I lose the last connection to the past - strong and alive"). He slapped her repeatedly, as Scott listened to the abuse from outside.
In another display of his madness and infatuation with Peggy, and his own potentially-homicidal or death-wish tendencies, during a fishing trip in a small boat during stormy conditions, Scott confronted Tod about his treatment of Peggy, and attempted to drown them by poking holes in the bottom of their boat to sink it. When the concerned Peggy alerted the Coast Guard to rescue them (one of the team members was Eve), the two were saved.
In the ambiguous ending, after Peggy's obvious demonstration of her love for Scott, Tod attempted to free himself from Peggy, and his past life (and his paintings) by burning down his house ("I am free"). Tod reasoned that everything was a symbol of the obsession he had with his previous, sighted life.
Tod's Attempt to Free Himself From His Past - and Peggy - By Setting His House and Paintings On Fire
Afterwards, Tod renounced his past behavior and gave Peggy and Scott his blessing. His plan was to head to New York to start a career as an aspiring writer. To his surprise, Peggy walked over to Tod to reconcile with him and join him to start a new and liberated life, while Scott left the beach - free to return to Eve.

Learn how refined sugars affect your health and how to avoid consuming too much of them in your diet.
When people start to follow a healthy diet, one of the first steps is to try to lower their sugar intake. Sugar comes in many forms—natural and refined. You've probably heard you should avoid refined sugars as much as possible. To help you better understand refined sugars and learn what to look for on a label, we talked to Megan Casper, M.S., R.D.N., C.D.N., dietitian and owner of NYC-based Nourished Bite Nutrition. Read on to find out how these sugars affect your health and how to keep them (mostly) out of your diet.
How does refined sugar differ from natural sugar?
Sugar is a carbohydrate, but there are different types of sugars you should pay attention to. First up, natural sugars. "Natural sugars are made up of carbohydrates, fructose, and glucose. [They] are used for energy, just like refined sugar," Casper explains. A natural sugar becomes refined when it has been modified or processed.
However, it isn't just the extra calories that are a cause for concern. With this excessive consumption of sugar come additional health problems, such as metabolic abnormalities.
Many foods and liquids that people typically consume in large quantities contain refined sugars. Casper says the obvious culprits are "soda, fruit juice, breakfast cereals, candy, cookies, cakes, and other desserts." You should remain cautious of other items such as ketchup, bread, and pasta, as refined sugars may be hidden in them.
Casper warns that excessive amounts of refined sugars may lead to "weight gain, obesity, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and other health problems." Have you ever experienced that infamous afternoon slump? Consuming too much refined sugar can cause this as well.
How do I know if my food contains refined sugar?
The best way to know for sure that the food and beverages you consume have little to no refined sugar is to stick to whole, unprocessed foods as much as possible. Casper notes, "The FDA is currently working on adding a special line for 'added sugars' on the nutrition label." There's currently no set date for implementation, but it will make it easier for you to differentiate between the types of sugars.
So, should I completely give up refined sugars?
Contrary to belief, you don't have to completely give up refined sugars. After all, some of the yummiest foods in life contain refined sugars. It can be hard to avoid them forever. By sticking to Casper's tips and keeping tabs on how much you consume, you can still enjoy the little pleasures of life without risking your health.
Can Seltzer Hydrate You During a Workout?
TBH, we're sipping seltzer right now. But, is it a good choice for before, during, or after a workout?

Should You Boost Your Protein Intake As You Age?

Statistics are a culmination of facts, figures, quantitative data and probabilities. In short, they can tell you if an observed effect or relationship is more than likely due to chance, or a true effect. Nothing is ever set or guaranteed. The first rule of statistics is, don't talk about statistics.
What is raw data called?
Raw data (sometimes called source data, atomic data or primary data) is data that has not been processed for use. A distinction is sometimes made between data and information to the effect that information is the end product of data processing.
What is variable in statistics?
A variable is a characteristic that can be measured and that can assume different values. Height, age, income, province or country of birth, grades obtained at school and type of housing are all examples of variables. Variables may be classified into two main categories: categorical and numeric.

The role of genetics in personality and schizophrenia
June 19, 2017 By 23andMe under 23andMe Research
Researchers have identified genes that influence both the risk for schizophrenia and the development of certain personality traits.
The work published late last month in the journal Scientific Reports, a Nature Research publication, follows on a study published late last year by the same group of scientists that identified six loci associated with personality traits.
That study found correlations between those traits and psychiatric disorders, but the work published this week confirms that there is more than just a correlation between certain personality traits and schizophrenia. There are genetic variants that influence both.
The findings also provide new insights into the genetic processes underlying schizophrenia and personality traits, according to the researchers.
And the research is consistent with what scientists have suspected all along, that certain personality traits and psychological disorders are related and share some genetic influences. Studies in recent years have shown correlations between psychiatric disorders and personality traits — measured on a spectrum known as the "Big Five" that includes neuroticism, extraversion, openness, agreeableness and conscientiousness.
While scientists have long believed that genetics plays a role in both personality and in the risk for mental illness, pinpointing which genes are involved has been difficult. In the past the limited size of genome wide association studies have stymied efforts to identify specific genetic variants associated with these conditions.
The breakthrough with these most recent studies is that researchers have been able to use what is called a meta-analysis to combine data from numerous sources and power their research with very large data sets. In this case researchers used data from about 60,000 23andMe customers who consented to participate in research as well as data from more than 80,000 individuals who are part of the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium (PGC) cohort. The PGC unites investigators from around the world studying the genetics around psychiatric conditions such as bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, and schizophrenia. The group has also become a sort of repository for data that can be used for these studies.
The researchers working on this latest study found six genetic variants shared between schizophrenia and openness to new experiences. They found three variants that influence both schizophrenia and the personality trait of neuroticism. Although these associations were found using a meta-analysis of the combined 23andMe and PGC data, the researchers also demonstrated that these results could be replicated in the individual cohorts..
"Altogether, our study provides new insights into the genetic architecture of schizophrenia and personality traits," the researchers said in the paper. "The findings comply with accumulating evidence from genetics and neuroscience suggesting that mental disorders are not discontinuous with normal variation in neurobiological and behavioral dimensions."

MXDWN Movies Best Films of 2021
Tyler Justin Pruyn December 30th, 2021 - 12:00 PM
For the first time since early 2020, cinemas were back in full force this year. While it took its time to get to that point, 2021 reminded movie goers what it is like to watch a movie with a packed house. Most releases did not get pushed back, Spider-Man: No Way Home became the first movie to gross $1 billion since 2019, and Warner Bros somehow managed to release their entire movie schedule onto their streaming platform, HBO Max. While it was not perfect, movies were back.
Following all of the films released this year, MXDWN movies decided to dedicate a top ten list for the best films of the year. From small indie films to large blockbusters, the movies team here at MXDWN have compiled a wide variety of their favorite films. This was voted on by all of our writers and editors here. Before jumping into the top ten list, a few honorable mentions are as follows: Black Widow, House of Gucci, The Power of the Dog, Belfast, Last Night in Soho and Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.
10. The Suicide Squad
"The DC cinematic universe is, frankly, a mess, but The Suicide Squad gives hope for DC fans. It's mix of dark comedy and endearing characters makes for an off-beat superhero movie. Although not a typical superhero movie, The Suicide Squad proves that darker, R-rated superhero movies can be successful and enjoyable." –Eric Johnson
9. Titane
"Armed with an original screenplay and an award worthy performance by Agathe Rousselle, this French horror film is truly a work of art, even if that art is not for the faint of heart for conventional audiences. With unforgettable imagery, exceptional performances and a lasting theme of love and acceptance makes Titane an extraordinary film in every aspect. It's violent, erotic and deeply moving. It is truly an emotional ride that you will never forget." –Rick Rice
"Ducournau punches the audience square in the face, spits on them, and then miraculously creates a pseudo-father and son tale that is the exact opposite of the first thirty minutes. Titane is a triumph and an utterly human story." –Tyler Justin Pruyn
8.The Green Knight
"The Green Knight was such a beautiful film, I simply do not understand how it flew so under the radar in 2021. " –Jose Pedro Eichenseer
"Lowery puts the viewer in the idyllic and romanticized arthurian legend. The film never lets go of the audience and is engaging from start to finish. The tale is dark, frustrating, and overall wonderful." –Tyler Justin Pruyn
7. No Time to Die
"No Time to Die finally hit theaters this years after years of build-up and too many COVID-19 era delays. It's a fitting swan song for Daniel Craig as he nearly perfectly embodied the dashing character that has built up over decades by numerous top-tier actors. Rami Malek's part might be a bit too small in the end result (as is Christoph Waltz's turn), but beyond that it's a near perfect bookend to the lineage that began with Casino Royale." –Raymond Flotat
6. The French Dispatch
"The French Dispatch belongs in a museum." –Tyler Justin Pruyn
5. King Richard
"King Richard is an amazing story and is one of the best sports movies that I have ever seen. The relational conflict and dimensions were filled to the brim with authenticity that was inspiring. This film did not lack in essentials of filmmaking, as can be commonplace for sports films, and is a fair contender for Academy recognition." –Lauren Vander Tuig
4. West Side Story
"Remakes are often never as good as their original, but every now and then, there arrives an exception. Steven Spielberg does the impossible by bringing the Broadway inspired story to the Big Screen for all audiences to enjoy that recaptures the heart of 1961 film, and in many ways, has made a far superior film. Everything about this film is pure magic. The casting, the costumes, the stunning dance choreography, the production design and the music all come together that brings cheers to the audiences and even makes some of us sing along. The themes are more prescient than ever, and the heart is never lost. With an award worthy performance by the young talented Rachel Zegler as Maria and Ansel Elgort as Tony, together they have brought the love and passion of West Side Story for a new generation to fall in love with. I laughed, I cheered, I sang, and even cried while watching the magnificent West Side Story. Spielberg once again reminds us of his formidable talents that have ensured him as of the greatest directors working today. Bravo!" –Rick Rice
"Tony Kushner's screenplay manages to find new nuances in one of the great American musicals. Presenting this story as a period drama as opposed to the contemporary original allows for the importation of historical context that deepens and expands the original themes. Steven Spielberg's blocking is out of this world, Justin Peck manages to stay true to the style of the original without recycling Jerome Robbins' choreography, and Janusz Kaminski produces some of the year's most striking images. Both the puddle shot during "Maria" and the two shots that frame the rumble sequence are some of the best of the entire Spielberg canon." –Joshua Goodstein
3. Licorice Pizza
"Licorice Pizza is a reminder of the absolute depth and power of cinema. As you watch each image move and unfold, your love for the characters grows ever deeper. With a marvelous musical accompaniment of 70s deep cuts, Licorice Pizza never slows down or ceases having fun. Paul Thomas Anderson weaves through vignettes with incredible seamlessness. A hangout movie that falls among the leagues of the greats." –Max Mulderrig
"PTA is back in the 70's and it is just a grand time. Haim and Hoffman bring life to already incredible material that is essentially hanging out in the San Fernando Valley for 2 hours. It hits in almost every way." –Tyler Justin Pruyn
"Licorice Pizza mesmerized me the whole time I was in the theater. Paul Thomas Anderson beautifully told a love story juxtaposing innocent and wistful love against an indulgent, "it's so bad it's good" kind of love. The vibes, the Haim sisters, Bradley Cooper's hilarious appearance, cinematography, and costume design were top tier as well." –Nicole Dwyer
2. Dune
"I know a lot of people don't like this movie because not much happens, but I'm a big fan of the world building. It obviously sets up the tone and trajectory of the sequels (this is a setup movie, and I think it does well in that aspect). Overall, it's a typical sci-fi introductory film that I enjoyed." –Abby Masucol
"Dune is a visually stunning epic that cleverly reworks elements from the David Lynch version, with a brilliant production design; it's a big event, but it never insults the audience's intelligence." –Nacho Pajín
1. Spider-Man: No Way Home
"No Way Home was the most entertaining film of the year. A real crowd pleaser with a great story and comedy, love, action, character arc, etc. It had everything." –Jose Pedro Eichenseer
"I feel like this Spider-Man was Sony's redemption from the 2007 film. It was a great combination of nostalgia and adventure. Plus surprises you never expect." – Lawrence Flynn
"Spider-Man: No Way Home is a jaw dropping effort of a movie. One of the only times in history it was possible to build on over twenty years of shared fictional history. It takes a fiction that is well known to the public and builds and expands on it. That tapestry becomes a rewarding investment for all the years fans have embraced the Spider-Man character. Not to mention that it contains a murderer's row of acting talent." –Raymond Flotat
"Spider-Man: No Way Home reminds movie-goers that fun at the movies can still be had even after almost a year of straight-to-streaming releases. It's a film of pure enjoyment and entertainment which puts a smile on the face of hardcore Marvel fans and casual viewers alike. Watching Spider-Man swing across a giant screen fighting evil-doers is the break everyone needs from a bleak world outside of the theater." –Eric Johnson

I got the binding attached onto the quilt that I quilted yesterday. I need to have the binding sewn down before my next guild meeting. It would be great to start the new year getting credit for finishing a UFO. This year we're going to have a drawing at each meeting for anyone that brings in a finished UFO. Maybe I can win a prize. That would be nice!! The quilt is like 100″ square…….wish me luck with getting it done. LOL!!
The rest of the day I was quilting. Hopefully tomorrow will be another productive day.

Sensex – Flag or Consolidation ?
Well of late the blog postings have been a bit irregular ( although client advisory is going on time) as busy with new office and other personal commitments. So would be posting 3 times a week to the regular every day article.
Until the last few days Sensex seemed to be bouncing back from the channel which as of now seems broken. Although the upmove has been quick and trending one so a breakdown would not lead to a drastic drop.
For now index seems to have set a range of 17350-17700. Only a move below 17350 should be a caution signal for stock specific longs. On the other hand the medium term resistance remains at 18300-18400 zone but the risk reward no more favours a clean long or short trade like the super trade from 4800 to 5200 on Nifty.
Expect stock specific moves to continue with sluggish moves on index.
Also after making a lot of money from the bounce of 16000 to 17900 i would like to again caution traders to avoid Leverage and be strict with stoplosses.
At 16000 had mentioned about going leverage and now is a time to trail your long positions to ride till the going is good as well as conserve the gains made.
As we expected the markets to stay rangebound we took a Nifty Option strategy.
TECHNICAL ANALYSIS TRAINING SESSION MUMBAI – JULY 17-18.
Just a few quick charts.
All the best for your new venture.
Do you track paramount communications and your views on it if possible???
I have tanla at 65 wic is now at 38 levels.. Give me d views on it.. Its fallen half already..
pls help me sir…. shall i sell or hold ?
We had a trade from 88 to 96 and generally one should avoid announcement based picks. Expect 80 to hold.

Optus: mobile in consolidation phase
By Peter Cai
May 6, 2013 — 3.00am
Tough mobile market conditions has prompted Optus to change direction on its growth strategy, with the nation's second-biggest telco focusing on retaining its existing customers rather than chasing new subscribers.
Over recent years, Australian telcos had experienced fast-paced growth in the number of mobile subscribers. But with mobile handsets now outnumbering people in Australia, there is little room for further large increases.
The mobile carrier is also building more retail outlets.
Optus' consumer business division head, Vicki Brady, last week said the company's prime focus was improving returns from their existing customers.
''We chased new customers over a long period of time,'' Ms Brady said. ''But very clearly for us the last 12 months have been about looking after existing customers, ensuring we give them good reasons to stay with us.
''Historically, we were absolutely focused on new customers and we completely changed that.''
Telstra is the only telco making headway in attracting new customers largely because if has the first-mover advantage with its new high-speed 4G network.
The SingTel-owned Optus added only 53,000 new customers in the six months to December 31, while Telstra attracted more than 600,000 customers in the same period, about half of whom were new 4G customers.
Ms Brady said the launch of new phone such as the popular iPhone 5 used to be a major promotional event to attract new customers, but instead Optus chose to use it as an opportunity to retain its existing customers.
''Last year, we took completely the opposite approach,'' she said. ''We heavily allocated those [iPhone 5s] to our existing customers. [about 80 per cent].''
The company also seeks to have better control over its retail distribution network by building new Optus-branded shops and terminating re-sell arrangements with retailers such as TeleChoice and Allphones.
''As part of our transformation. We are actually moving into a model where Optus will own more of these stores and actually employ people,'' she said.
Ms Brady admitted that the telco industry had a reputation for bad customer service, noting: ''It is clear we are not meeting customer expectations generally across our industry today.''
A recent Optus survey shows the telco industry ranked the second-last in terms of customer services out of five industries.

* The stated consumption and emissions values were determined in accordance with the legally stipulated measurement procedure. The WLTP test cycle completely replaced the NEDC test cycle with effect from 1 January 2022. As a result, no NEDC values are available for vehicles with a type approval issued after this date.
The values do not refer to an individual vehicle and are not part of the offer; instead, they are solely for the purpose of comparing between different types of vehicles. Optional equipment and accessories (attachments, tyre formats etc.) may alter relevant vehicle parameters such as the weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics and, alongside weather and traffic conditions and individual driving behaviour, may influence the fuel consumption, electricity consumption, CO2 emissions and performance values of a vehicle.
Due to the more realistic test conditions, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions values will in many cases be higher in accordance with the WLTP than in accordance with the NEDC. There may have been corresponding changes to vehicle taxation since 1 September 2018 as a result of this. You can find further information on the differences between the WLTP and the NEDC at www.audi.co.uk/wltp.
