"Past performance is no guide to future performance." That's what the warning signs on marketing literature always tell you. And yet both professional and private investors have a hard time letting go of history when it comes to choosing which investments to buy. Studies in the past have already shown that institutional investors tend to buy funds that have a recent track record of beating their peers and selling the ones that don't. And a more recent study from data provider Morningstar finds that the same is true for the likes of you and me.
Starting in 1996, Morningstar looked at three-year rolling returns on a wide range of US equity funds, covering all styles of investing, up until the end of 2018. The researchers also looked at growth (or shrinkage) in the assets under management. This gave them a good idea of how popular or how loathed funds were at any given time. As a result, they were able to gauge how the three-year past performance of a fund influences the average fund investor's decision to buy or sell it. What they found is predictable – after a fund has done well, investors are more inclined to buy, and after it has done badly, they tend to sell.
This would be perfectly OK if the trends continued. But they don't. It turns out that the warning is true – typically, a fund that has endured a three-year underperformance starts to turn around just as investors are selling in droves, while funds that have done well tend to be most popular with investors just as their time in the sun is ending. In other words, your average investor – be they institution or private individual – buys and sells funds at precisely the wrong moment. This is "regression to the mean" in action. The reality is that beating the market is hard and the average fund manager cannot do it consistently. So if a fund has done well for a few years, it is more likely due to luck rather than skill. And luck doesn't last: hence the cycle of disappointment.
You might think the lesson here is to invest in a contrarian manner – buy funds that are currently losers and avoid the ones that are winners. Normally I'd agree, but the Morningstar data obscures something rather more fundamental – even the funds that beat their peers rarely beat the market after fees are taken into account. So the real question is: why pay an expensive fund manager at all, if you can find a cheaper way to access the same market? We're not saying that you should never use active funds (we're keen on certain investment trusts, for example). But unless there's a compelling reason to use an active manager (for exposure to a certain strategy or sector, say), then given the choice between a cheap tracker and an active fund, opt for the tracker every time.

Cruise like a Godmother
Elizabeth-Hill
Independence-of-the-Seas
Feb 20, 2018 Mar 3, 2018 Elizabeth Hill
How I Became Godmother of a Cruise Ship
How did I become Godmother of a ship you may well ask.
Experiences like this don't happen to ordinary women! On my Facebook profile it says I am a Jack-of-all-trades and master of none, which rather sums me up. All my life I have looked for new challenges. But it is this continual search to fulfil my own potential and follow my dreams that makes me want to enable others to reach their full potential as well.
I became the Godmother of the fabulous Independence, we will call her Indy as most people fondly do, by winning a competition, a competition I had no idea I had entered.
My darling daughter Alicia, who was twelve in 2008 (yes I am an older Mum, my fabulous bonus in life) was at home poorly, I was running a very successful charity Gamelea Countryside Training Trust, on my husbands farm, for people with learning disabilities, young people excluded and in danger of exclusion from school, people with mental health problems and ex service personnel finding it hard to cope with civilian life. I wanted to give other people opportunities that weren't being offered to them anywhere else, allowing them to gain some self-esteem and self-confidence to go on to do bigger and better things.
The guest that day on Loose Women was Sir Steve Redgrave. He had just set up a sports foundation for young people, and was being sponsored by the Royal Caribbean Cruise company, who were looking for an ordinary woman who had done something extraordinary for the community. This had been extremely successful with the previous ship in America. As this new ship, Independence of the Seas, would be the largest cruise ship to sail out of Southampton, they thought they would run a similar competition here in Britain. The prize would include ten free cruises.
We'd been on very few holidays with our daughter at this point as we lived on a farm with many responsibilities we couldn't leave easily. It's extremely difficult to find people to look after a farm if you want to go on holiday.
No sooner had she seen the programme, she got on the computer, wrote a short essay about me and my achievements, and sent it off.
The first I heard of this was when I received a phone call from the Royal Caribbean PR Office telling me that out of hundreds of entries they had whittled it down to six potential candidates, and were doing telephone interviews to select the four finalists.
I almost hung up on them; my first thought was that my daughter had entered me for some sort of reality television programme. I was not going on Big Brother. I could think of nothing worse. Eventually the woman on other end of the phone convinced me it was no scam. I had genuinely been selected.
I received a further phone call a short time after, asking me if I had my passport ready, as in two days time I would be going to Stansted airport to be flown with three other women to see the Independence of the Seas in the shipyard in Turku in Finland. I had to take a ball gown as we were also invited to the handover ball from the shipyard to the Americans.
To say I was over the moon was an under statement. I had a passport of course. Only problem was it was two years out of date.
I rang the passport office in Peterborough, who were wonderful and gave me an appointment the following day. I had a few mad hours filling in forms, having photos taken and finding signatures.
Two days later I was at the Radisson Blue Hotel having dinner with a Royal Caribbean PR person assigned to look after us, and three other lovely women, who were potential Godmothers.
This wasn't without incident. On leaving the hotel room I realised my daughter had left her handbag behind with her sewing kit, which contained dress making scissors! With great difficulty I squeezed the offending item into my overnight bag. Common sense had left me at this point, as instead of dumping them in the hotel wastebasket, I wrapped them securely in my clothes and hoped they wouldn't be picked up by airport security. While hardly a deadly weapon it still felt like I smuggling contraband out of the country.
The next day, we found ourselves walking across the tarmac to board a private Leer jet with Richard Fain himself.
And so began one of the most exciting periods of my life.

Q: Product of Graphs Let $G_1$ and $G_2$ are two graphs. The product of $G_1$ and $G_2$ is defined by
$$V(G_1 \times G_2) = V(G_1) \times V(G_2) \; \text{and} $$
$((a,b) , (c,d)) \in E(G_1 \times G_2) $  iff either $a = c$ and $(b,d) \in E(G_2)$ or $b=d$ and $(a,c) \in E(G_2)$.
Can we generalize this product upto $n$ graphs like this.

A: I got an answer, if $G_1, G_2,\cdots,G_n$ are graphs,then we can define their product $G = G_1 \times G_2 \times \cdots \times G_n$
$$V(G) = V(G_1) \times \cdots \times V(G_n)$$
Two distinct vertices $(a_1,\cdots,a_n)$ and $(b_1, \cdots,b_n)$ are adjacent iff there exist unique $1 \leq i \leq n$ such that $a_i$ and $b_i$ are adjacent in $G_i$ and $a_j = b_j$ for all $j \neq i.$

Well, here we are again. Spring is right around the corner. We have good ice, but all I can think about is getting out in the woods after those dam stinky birds!
I apologize if I offend anyone when I refer to turkeys as "stinky birds," but let's face it people, those rascals are gamey and smelly. Ever gut one without gloves? I did and my hands stunk for a week! The smell was so burned into my sinuses that even "me Lucky Charms" tasted like that stinky turkey! Since that day I have discovered other ways to clean the birds and trust me when I say that I've never stuck my hands into the cavity of one of those creatures again!
My true reality is that although I have learned to prepare the meat properly, food is not the motivation! It's the hunt! I love to call and chase these stinky birds as much as I enjoy any other hunt. One of my favorites is hearing the toms break the morning silence with their thunderous serenade of gobbles. Also, knowing that their eyesight is unmatched in nature adds to the pursuit. They are afraid of everything including, it seems at times, their own shadow. These birds, be it a jake or a tom, pose a great hunting challenge.
I hunt land in Southwestern Wisconsin. We have a solid turkey population for sure. Being a landowner, I have the additional advantage of being able to draw a tag for my primary season choice. Being that my kids are in that really active sports phase, my season preference has changed over the years. I am glad to say that I have bounced around on seasons so that I can experience them all. I have discovered that I absolutely love each season!
The early birds are less spooked, but the weather is such a wildcard that you never know what you are going to get. A very close friend, Mike, is an absolute turkey-hunting freak and swears by the early seasons. He loves being the first human these birds have seen in months…and if all goes according to his plan, he's the last one as well. Mike will trudge through the open muddy fields on foot if need be. He'll suffer through the notorious spring snows. Freezing temperatures mean nothing to him it will not keep him from pursuing one of these stinky birds! For me, I love the hunt but it's not beyond me to whine and moan every step of the way when the conditions are bad.
The late seasons hold my interest for many similar reasons as stated above. I enjoy the increasingly heavy understory of the springtime woods. Of course the sauna like moist heat created when the forest floor is warmed by the intense sunlight brings another challenge. Regardless of season, the birds maintain their sight advantage. They easily pick out the impatient hunter, guilty of an imprudent movement while they remain hidden in the thick brush invisible to human intruders. The lone gobbler is quiet and cautious sure, but he's still not a dummy. Although I have bounced around seasons for a long time, I am always in the woods this time of year…it's MOREL MUSHROOM SEASON! Now there's some good eating! But that's a tale for another time.
Happy hunting this spring my friends! Be safe, shoot straight and introduce someone new to the sport. It's an easy hunt to fall in love with!

In my art class at Central High School, my art teacher, Mr. Patrick Robertson noticed my strong interest in art, and suggested that I go apply to be in LVA's CFAC classes! I applied, and got in. It was amazing, and from there, my art and my life truly began to thrive.
I believe it was the day I graduated from Governor School for the Arts. The experience was so great for me, it was almost like a dream. I began the road of finding my true self there. After graduation, and winning an award, I realized that the only thing that had brought me to that wonderful experience was Art and God. I consider both to be one. And when I left GSA, I knew for a fact that I couldn't go anywhere or do anything without it.
LVA has given so much to my life. Really, I wouldn't be wherever I am, or wherever I will be, without the love that was given by LVA to me. LVA has and always will add support, love, and family to my life. LVA is definitely apart of my Art Family—-people I love that give support that have came into my life because of Art.
Since I am in college, there is something that is always due, a meeting to always attend, a class to always go to. My perfect Sunday is a day where I get a full 8 hours of sleep the night before, I wake up around 10am, go for a run, shower, and then go straight to the studio. I paint solely on a personal piece since I magically have no homework for however many hours needed to get to a point in which I am happy with the creation. I then magically have no meetings to attend, and since it is also spring, it is sunny, dry, and 75 degrees— the perfect weather in which to lay out in the grass and read on the Quad. As I read, I see a few buddies walking past and have nice conversations with them all. Reading-talking-reading-talking. Afterwards, when it begins to get dark, I will get up and go back to my studio and work on anything further that will enhance my journey of personal growth (research watching a documentary, learning something new, etc.). At around 9-10pm, I will get up and go back home, order Wings over Syracuse and choose a book or movie to loose myself in. I will then eat, and go to sleep by 11pm to rise early the next morning. Now, THAT is a perfect Sunday!!! Lol!
Kevlen Goodner, a freelance illustrator, is definitely my favorite local artist. Besides him being purely amazing, his soul, like his art, is full of beauty, love, and knowledge. He is a friend of my dad, but ever since he has seen my art, he has been an extreme supporter—a very precious gift I did not know how to hold while I was younger! He has helped me a lot in the past, and every action he seems to take inspires me in ways I can not explain! With his character personally, and as an artist. I only have love for Mr. Kevlen!
I would like to see Louisville with more jobs, higher minimum wage, more art, and more available resources for children needing a creative outlet. Especially for the children that don't have parents that can mentally or financially support their artistic journey.
I grew up in the West End and Beuchel. When I left for college, my family moved to Shivley. So I've lived in a couple of different areas here in Louisville. I must say that my favorite thing about any of them is the amount of access I have to different things. Busses, stores, centers, anything. Being in three different areas with three different amounts of access really showed me how segregated simple access is to human beings.
Essentially, none. But something that would have put a bit less stress on my back would be to not compare myself and my journey to others. I did a lot of comparing, and feeling bad about myself and my place in life while I was younger. If I had known what life had in store for me, I would have realized that even my laziest days were leading up to a success and love filled life.

It doesn't have to be seen as either. You can see the glass as potential. It could fill or it could empty. The more you pour into a glass, the more you can get out... like life.
Or some **** like that, its 12am.
I don't really think anything can be "half full" but sometimes I just see the glass as full, or at least pretend it is.
When I look at a glass which contains half its maximum capacity in liquid, I say "that glass is half full."
Some quote says - "A realist is what an optimist calls a pessimist."
I always say the glass "Is half-full" when its half-empty!
Just a joke, if you fail to comprehend. But I voted for "Half full".
But i see both of them in my two views.
It's always half full to me.
I guess it's half full. I dunno, I never drink from a half full glass. I always make sure my glasses are filled to their maximum fullness.

Light Curtains Controlled: This is the maximum number of light curtain transmitters and receivers that can be controlled by the controller.
Safety Outputs / Relays per Light Curtain: Most light curtains contain three relays: two control (safety) relays and one auxiliary (status) relay (this is not a primary safety relay).
Input Power Search Logic: An item matches if it has ANY of the attributes you select. Selecting none (or all) of the options will match everything.
Communication Interface Search Logic: An item matches if it has ANY of the attributes you select. Selecting none (or all) of the options will match everything.
Visual Indicators (LEDs, Display) Visual display of system status; faults.
Lockable A key is required for access to the enclosure.
Muting Muting is the temporary, automatically controlled, deactivation of a safeguarding device during the non-hazardous portion of the machine cycle. Allows complete bypass or disabling of the sensing field or stop signal to the machine during the non-hazardous portion of the cycle.
Blanking / Banking The safety light curtain can be programmed so that a variable number of light beams are 'blanked' or 'masked' to allow an object to extend through the field without affecting the machinery's operation. Disables one or more fixed locations within the sensing field.
Latching Relays / Guard Mode Once the sensing field of the curtain has been penetrated and a stop signal sent to the guarded machine, the light curtain will not remove the stop signal until the controls are manually reset outside the protected area. Causes a Lockout Condition. This requires a manual reset after each penetration into the guarded zone.


Breakthrough Entertainment and Black Fawn Films have released the first trailer for their upcoming horror-thriller I'll Take Your Dead, directed by Chad Archibald and written by Jayme LaForest (The Heretics, Bite). The new film promises to be an unsettling tale of terror that combines an unnerving crime thriller with an original ghost story.
Filmed on location in Orillia and Hamilton, Ontario, I'll Take Your Dead explores the horrors of gang violence and a family that's being haunted by the death that surrounds it. It is a bold film that grabs hold of its audience and doesn't let go.
If you're in or near Calgary, mark your calendars for this coming Thursday, September 27th. That's the day the film has its world premiere at the Calgary International Film Festival with director Archibald, producer Christopher Giroux, and lead actor Aidan Devine in attendance. It will also screen at Hard:Line Film Festival in Germany, GrimmFest in the United Kingdom, and Terror Molins in Spain.
"Years ago I did a documentary where I flew across Canada interviewing people in shelters, a lot of them kids, about how they found themselves getting lured into gang activity. Most of them were truly good people that weren't given a choice. I wanted to make this film to show good and evil and how the lines often blur. It's about family, violence, death, and knowing when to put your foot down. We had a stellar cast that brought this script to another level, and we're all excited to finally show it to the world," says Archibald.
I'll Take Your Dead stars Aidan Devine (A History of Violence, Suicide Squad, Don't Say A Word), Ava Preston (DC's Shazam!, "Odd Squad," "The Kennedys"), Toronto International Film Festival's 2018 Rising Star Jessica Salgueiro ("Workin' Moms," "Mary Kills People," "The Strain"), Brandon McKnight (The Shape of Water), Michael Reventar (Kidnap Capital, Peppermint, and TV's "Impulse"), and Ari Millen ("Orphan Black," The Death and Life of John F. Donovan, Rupture). The film was produced by Cody Calahan, Chad Archibald, and Christopher Giroux, continuing the 8-picture deal inked between Breakthrough Entertainment and Black Fawn Films. The film is executive produced by Nat Abraham, Ira Levy, Michael McGuigan, and Peter Williamson at Breakthrough Entertainment.
William (Devine) has a simple job: make dead bodies disappear. Through circumstances out of his control, his little farmhouse in the country has become a dumping ground for the casualties of the gang-related murders in the nearby city. His daughter, Gloria (Preston), has become used to the rough-looking men dropping off corpses and is even convinced that some of them haunt their house.

Why The Bed, By Thuma Is Your Key To Coziness
It's happening. The mornings are chillier, the days are getting shorter. With fall upon us, we'll be spending more time indoors, so it's important we want to be indoors. A cozy and welcoming atmosphere can make all the difference between a space that's merely a house and the place that you call home. That's why a new bed was our top priority.
We were looking for something with both comfort and style; an oasis from the stresses of life where we could truly relax. We researched high and low, online and in-person, and decided on an elegantly simple platform bed frame - The Bed, By Thuma.
We were immediately taken with its sleek style and minimalist design, and we really appreciated that it's made from real, high-quality wood, is shipped in eco-friendly packaging, and is Greenguard Gold certified.
The Bed's smooth curved edges, The PillowBoard, and roomy under-bed storage are impressive. It arrives in three easy-to-carry boxes, so there's no problem getting it into the house and maneuvering it around tricky staircases.
Assembly? We aren't what you'd call mechanically skilled. Luckily, The Bed, By Thuma is simple to assemble, thanks to its Japanese joinery, a timeless technique that interlocks the base and creates a built-to-last platform that is sturdy, supportive, and naturally quiet. It literally takes five minutes to put together—and to disassemble should we ever move. No tools required!
The double-strength slats are lined with eco-fi felt to prevent slippage and provide optimal mattress support and breathability.
Finally, The PillowBoard adds a finishing touch with a washable linen-weave cover that comes in two options—Light Linen and Dark Charcoal. Simply slip it into place between the mattress and the wall, and you're ready to lounge.
We've also never had a bed that gave us better sleep. It offers real support, no noise when we move around, and true restfulness. We can easily imagine a lifetime of pleasant shut-eye thanks to The Bed, By Thuma. And why not? It's built to last a lifetime and even comes with a lifetime warranty. There's also a 100 Day Trial period, so there's nothing to lose sleep over.
But if you're anything like us, it's a keeper. The bedroom should be a serene retreat, and The Bed is the first step to making it feel like ours.
Do yourself a favor and get The Bed, by Thuma. Thanks to The Bed, we're ready for fall and whatever it brings!

A vast majority of pre-retirees between 51 and 61 years of age are approaching retirement with sizable amounts of debt.
By Michelle A. Samaad | Updated on November 03, 2014
A vast majority of pre-retirees between 51 and 61 years of age are approaching retirement with sizable amounts of debt and will carry debt with them beyond their working years.
That's according to a new report from the Filene Research Institute, Financial Capability Near Retirement: A Profile of Pre-Retirees. The authors used financial capability data from the 2012 National Financial Capability Study to highlight the troubling prevalence of long-term debt among individuals approaching retirement.

Pepsi is a carbonated cola soft drink made by PepsiCo. A can of Pepsi (330ml) has 8 cubes of sugar in it, whereas Coca-Cola has 7.
Pepsi comes in many different flavors, and forms. A few of the different Pepsi types include Diet Pepsi, Pepsi Max, Pepsi ONE, Crystal Pepsi, Pepsi Wild Cherry, etc.
It was first introduced as "Brad's Dunka" in New Bern, North Carolina in 1898 by Caleb Bradham, who made it at his pharmacy where the drink was sold. It was later named Pepsi Cola, possibly due to the digestive enzyme pepsin and kola nuts used in the recipe. Bradham sought to create a fountain drink that was delicious and would aid in digestion and boost energy.

William I de La Marck
William de la Marck[1] (1446–1485) was an adventurer of German extraction. He became an important character in the late 15th century in the Prince-Bishopric of Liège. William's was nicknamed Le Sanglier des Ardennes (The Wild Boar of the Ardennes)— because he was as fierce as the wild boar which he delighted to hunt.[2]
In 1482, he had Louis de Bourbon, Bishop of Liège, assassinated, in order to replace him by his own son Jean de la Marck. He failed to have Jean accepted, and the next bishop was John of Hornes. This act led to a civil war in the prince-bishopric.
On 21 May 1484, a treaty was signed at Tongeren, whereby the de la Marck family forfeited its claims to the bishopric and supported Liège's struggle against Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor for the reward of 30,000 livres. Bouillon castle was mortgaged to William de la Marck until the time of repayment.
In 1485, he was ambushed near Sint-Truiden and taken to Maastricht, where he was beheaded on 18 June 1485.
William's cousin Erard de la Marck became prince-bishop from 1506 until 1538.
His great-grandson William II de la Marck was an important leader of the Gueux de mer in the Eighty Years' War.
Cultural influences[edit]
He is described by Sir Walter Scott as "William, Count of la Marck", in Quentin Durward.[2]

A Study Break Like No Other
August 2, 2012 by PJV Contributor Leave a Comment
By Hannah Lee
In 1923, Rabbi Meir Shapiro proposed to the First World Congress of the World Agudath Israel in Vienna that Jews around the world bond over a daily study of the books of the Talmud, the code of rabbinic law. The six orders of the Talmud (or Gemarah), known as sedarim, are divided into 60 or 63 tractates, masekhtot. Clocking in over 6,200 pages long, it's written in Aramaic and quotes from the Hebrew Bible. Today, August 1, is a grand celebration of the completion of the 12th cycle of study, the Siyum HaShas of Daf Yomi. It's being held at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ and approximately 90,000 men, women, and children are expected to attend.
The six local teachers who've faithfully lead the daily study sessions year-round are: Rabbi Yechiel Biberfeld of Bala Cynwyd; Rabbi Dov Aaron Brisman of Philadelphia; Rabbi Yonah Gross of Wynnewood; Rabbi Sruli Schwartz of Merion Station; Rabbi Avraham Shmidman of Bala Cynwyd; and Rabbi Mordechai Terbelo of Philadelphia. Yishar kochachem to these dedicated individuals and to their students for the commitment to sustaining Jewish scholarship!
Note: This list excludes some other local Daf Yomi teachers, such as Rabbi Jonathan Levene of Bala Cynwyd, but this was a siyum organized by the Agudath Israel of America, and I consulted their memorial book,which is a hefty volume 1/2-inch thick.

Legendary Musician Prince Dies
I don't even know how to even....
Legendary pop-star Prince was found dead at his home in Minneapolis. His publicist tells the Associated Press he was " found dead at his home Thursday in Chanhassen."
"The singer, songwriter, arranger and instrumentalist was widely acclaimed as one of the most inventive musicians of his era, drawing upon influences ranging from James Brown to the Beatles to Jimi Hendrix. His hits included "Little Red Corvette," "Let's Go Crazy" and "When Doves Cry."
The Minneapolis native broke through in the late 1970s with the hits "Wanna Be Your Lover" and soared over the following decade with such albums as "1999" and "Purple Rain."
The title song from "1999" includes one of the most widely quoted refrains of popular culture: "Tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999."
Just last week Prince was rushed to the hospital after his plane made an emergency landing in Illinois on Friday morning. TMZ later reported, "A rep for Prince tells TMZ, the singer has been fighting the flu for several weeks. He canceled 2 shows on April 7th but wanted to make Thursday night's performance in Atlanta, even though he was still not feeling well.
After the show, he got on a plane and felt considerably worse, so his plane made an emergency landing in Moline, Illinois, where he was taken to the hospital and treated. He was released 3 hours later, got back on the plane and is now back home.
Earlier this year, Prince's protegee Vanity had passed away.
Wow....R.I.P. to the Legend.

The High Cost of Healthcare and What to do About it.
There are a number of reasons why health care is more expensive in the U.S. than other countries. Health care premiums continue to increase at a faster rate than both wages and inflation. If you have health insurance, you most likely have a managed care plan which are the majority of health insurance plans in the United States. This managed care is contributing to the rising cost of health care. Download the book to find out how and why this happens and what you can do about it.

Deep Racial Framing: Evidence from Implicit Association Tests
May 15, 2008 • Joe • racism, scholarship, stereotyping, white racial frame
The May 2008 issue of Scientific American has an interesting article "Buried Prejudice: The Bigot in Your Brain" by Siri Carpenter dealing with "implicit association tests" (IAT) used in numerous psychological studies. These studies–which often study people's reactions to white faces and faces of people of color–are relevant to public debates over whether many whites still think from a racist frame and act in racist ways. The article begins with an overview:
Although these implicit biases inhabit us all, we vary in the particulars, depending on our own group membership, our conscious desire to avoid bias and the contours of our everyday environments. For instance, about two thirds of whites have an implicit preference for whites over blacks, whereas blacks show no average preference for one race over the other.
Several IAT studies reveal that a substantial majority of whites have an implicit white preference in face and related choices in IAT testing. As the concept of the white racial frame we use here suggests, there is much more to the age-old negative framing of Americans of color than cognitive stereotyping. There is the old visual imaging and there is an array of white emotions:
Some implicit biases appear to be rooted in strong emotions. In a 2004 study Ohio State psychologist Will A. Cunningham and his colleagues measured white people's brain activity as they viewed a series of white and black faces. The team found that black faces–as compared with white faces–that they flashed for only 30 milliseconds (too quickly for participants to notice them) triggered greater activity in the amygdala, a brain area associated with vigilance and sometimes fear. The effect was most pronounced among people who demonstrated strong implicit racial bias.
Given nearly four centuries of white oppression of African Americans, and the extensive negative white framing to rationalize that oppression, there is no mystery about why black faces today generate strong white visual and emotional reactions:
Psychologist Jennifer A. Richeson speculates that American cultural stereotypes linking young black men with crime, violence and danger are so robust that our brains may automatically give preferential attention to blacks as a category, just as they do for threatening animals such as snakes. In a recent unpublished study Richeson and her colleagues found that white college students' visual attention was drawn more quickly to photographs of black versus white men, even though the images were flashed so quickly that participants did not consciously notice them.
Sadly, the implicit studies are similar to ethnographic field studies that have previously shown that the implicit racial bias begins at young ages, especially among young whites:
Many of our implicit associations about social groups form before we are old enough to consider them rationally. In an unpublished experiment Mahzarin R. Banaji . . . and Yarrow Dunham . . . found that white preschoolers tended to categorize racially ambiguous angry faces as black rather than white; they did not do so for happy faces. And a 2006 study by Banaji and Harvard graduate student Andrew S. Baron shows that full-fledged implicit racial bias emerges by age six, and never retreats.
Racist attitudes are not, as some whites today like to argue, of little consequence. Studies have also found that those who show substantial implicit bias are more likely to engage in racial performance and other racial discrimination:
Implicit biases can infect more deliberate decisions, too. In a 2007 study Rutgers University psychologists Laurie A. Rudman and Richard D. Ashmore found that white people who exhibited greater implicit bias toward black people also reported a stronger tendency to engage in a variety of discriminatory acts in their everyday lives. These included avoiding or excluding blacks socially, uttering racial slurs and jokes, and insulting, threatening or physically harming black people.
Given that the implicit bias is strong for a substantial majority of whites, it is not surprising that field studies show large amount of such racist behavior, in both backstage and frontstage settings. White racist thinking and action means a lack of certain emotions as well, a lack of empathy (a social alexithymia).
Fortunately as well, several of the implicit association studies have recently begun to explore whether the deeply held implicit reactions can be altered:
Seeing targeted groups in more favorable social contexts can help thwart biased attitudes. In laboratory studies, seeing a black face with a church as a background, instead of a dilapidated street corner, considering familiar examples of admired blacks such as actor Denzel Washington and athlete Michael Jordan, and reading about Arab-Muslims' positive contributions to society all weaken people's implicit racial and ethnic biases. In real college classrooms, students taking a course on prejudice reduction who had a black professor showed greater reductions in both implicit and explicit prejudice at the end of the semester than did those who had a white professor.
What has been created by humans can also be dismantled by human action, where there is the will to change long established systems of racist thinking and framing. Will is of course the operative word.

Physical impact to a hard drive can cause mechanical failure. If one or more of the hard drives in your RAID 5 array fail or become corrupted, you will experience beeps or click sounds. Clicking hard drives are common and it is one of the most common reasons we get called for RAID data recovery issues. Hard drive clicking sounds normally indicate faults with the drive heads, and can also mean ribbon cable faults or failure. Bleeping can often show that the motor is no longer working. We are highly experienced in recovering data from corrupt RAID 5 hard drives.
Many people encounter issues after attempting RAID rebuild and issues can occur if all of the server's parts are not in full working order. This means that even if there is a slight fault with a single hard disk drive, the whole RAID setup can fail. The top reason that we get RAID data recovery requests is failed RAID 5 rebuild attempts, as many people do not realise the risks to your data associated with RAID rebuilding. We are one of the top UK companies offering data recovery from full or even part RAID 5 rebuilds. IF you have not yet done your RAID rebuild, we strongly urge you to contact us for free advice on how to protect data.
Each hard drive in your RAID 5 system will contain firmware allowing communication with the server or computer. If the firmware becomes corrupted to fails to work correctly it can cause hard drive issues preventing you from accessing data. One common firmware issue is that the platters where the firmware codes are held become broken. Another is that firmware corruption occurs after a firmware update is attempted. We can recovery data from corrupt firmware hard drives in RAID 5 setups and have successfully don so on many occasion.
Raid 5 systems have controllers and these, like all other parts of the RAID system, can develop faults. Commonly this can be caused by an incompatible card or different firmware, however should you experience such issues we can recover all of your lost or inaccessible data from your RAID 5 array.

Q: Laravel 5.6 saving each step of a multi-step form in the database and local drive I am trying to use JQuery Steps multi-step form in Laravel 5.6.   However, instead of just saving everything in the end, I would like save every step of the form in mysql database as well as on user's local drive so that 1.  I can see where the form abandonment is happening and 2.  if user comes back they can start from where they left off.  Any tips?

A: You can tap into the onChanged event and fire an asynchronous http post request with your data. You don't have to wait for the request to finish to serve the next step, it should be fully asynchronous.

When you look at a couple who are still active and living with Dementia, you do not know which of them is has the disease and which of them is the carer. Visually this is interesting because even though someone has dementia, they are still the same person.
I started photographing portraits of couples who are involved with the Alchemy Dementia Chorus in Canberra. My Dad attended the choir before he died of dementia last year. What surprised me about the choir was, that when I walked into the room for the very first time, I did not know who had dementia and who didn't. This feeling was even more so evident when they were singing.
Visually this struck me as interesting. Everyone has a story, the story hasn't changed just because someone has dementia, it's just different.
As part of the project, I have collected their written stories and they are so beautiful and inspirational. This may not be an artistically conceptual exhibition but is uses photographic portraiture in a positive way. It is real, the stories are real, the people are real and I want the viewer to learn about dementia, not be afraid of it especially if someone in their family is living the same journey. You are not alone!
In a world where we value youth and beauty and superficiality, I wanted to show the viewer that there is beauty in wisdom, age, love, caring, being strong in adversity and sharing real stories.
I wish the exhibition and book to reflect hope and positivity, something I feel will help others when diagnosed with dementia. Dementia is a disease and not a normal part of growing old. Being a part of a community is beneficial for anyone, and opening up people with dementia to this project, to singing as part of the choir and to have their portrait in a an artistic space would be highly beneficial to them but to the greater community.
Jane and Doc – Our Stories
Jane: We would like to tell you our story. It is a great story.
We met in 1963 at Highland High School in Albuquerque, New Mexico. We were 15 years old.
Doc: 0n the first day of school in the assembly hall, 660 new students were asked to applaud the name of their last school. Some students near me noticed that I did not applaud and asked where I was from.
Jane: Doc was asked on more than one occasion what his parents did for a living and his answer had to be, "I can't tell you." This was not unusual in New Mexico. Half the kids at Highland High had parents with security clearances and military connections, but not all new students turned up, as Doc did, wearing a suit and tie and carrying a briefcase.
Doc: In eleven years of schooling, this was my sixth school, but my first civilian American school. I was surrounded by sixteen-year-olds who had known each other virtually all their lives. There was one group of four girls who occasionally defied fashion and wore their green Girl Scout uniforms to school. One of them was almost 6 feet tall when I was still only 5 foot 6. With a serious look on her face and black Nana Mouskouri glasses, I fell deeply in lust, knowing that I didn't stand a chance with such a vision. I went to the office and tried to get the locker next to hers, but even that failed. She was in the Marching Band, I was in the School Choir, and though we moved in the same circles, we never had the opportunity to know each other well.
Jane: To me, Doc was the kid who sat next to Paul, my boyfriend at the time, in French class. He was just another of the military kids who naturally fell into our group of nerds–well read, and fascinated by our youthful President JFK who only had ten weeks to live. Everyone remembers who they were with the day President Kennedy was killed; and for me, Doc was one of those people.
Six weeks after that tragedy, the Beatles came to America, quickly followed by the Rolling Stones. Typically, Doc preferred the Stones to the Beatles, while I preferred…folk music. I thought the Beatles were silly and the Stones were Neanderthals.
Doc: During high school, we would run into each other at the Folk Music Club, the French Club and The Future Teachers of America, the only group that my parents would allow me to join, since it was career oriented. I began a long career of sneaking out of the house to do nefarious things like volunteering at the University of New Mexico's community radio station. I lied about my age and found myself playing English folk bands once a week from 11 PM 'til 1 AM, bands that no American west of New York City had even heard of.
Jane: But I was listening.That was where I first heard of Steeleye Span, played by a boy who never gave his name on air. Whenever I saw Doc, I was glad that the anxious boy with the crew cut was now over six feet tall, had a sculpted beatnik beard and had found his niche in being a hippie. He seemed comfortable with political groups like Students for a Democratic Society, the SDS.
Doc: SDS split in two in 1968,my choice being the Weather Underground.I had to be cautious, though: when I started University I had just one goal in mind — Australia. The politics and value systems of my father's country horrified me from day one, and since I was accustomed to moving and more moving, going even
"Further West, Young Man" seemed perfectly natural 3⁄4 especially after the horrors of May, 1970, when Nixon revealed Kissinger's Secret Plan to end the war: triple it.
Jane: On May Day, 1970, the SDS declared a student strike to protest the invasion of Laos and Cambodia. Four days later, The National Guard killed four students at Kent State University in Ohio. At UNM, someone put our KUNM radio station on the PA system of the Student Union Building without permission, broadcasting the shocking news. That nameless someone was Doc. Four days later, it was our turn in New Mexico. The speakers in the student union building came on again. I was there, and I heard, "Time to make your choice, the National Guard is on its way. Are you going to leave? Or are you going to stay?"
Doc: I arrived from my job as a student teacher just as the bloodletting stopped. Guardsmen had been stabbing and beating students, and were preventing ambulances from leaving by holding bayonets against the tires. One sergeant was trying to get his "weekend warriors" into some order. Because I was wearing a tie and sports coat, and looked official, I was able to walk right through a platoon of fifty Guardsmen and join my Comrades who were rallying with more discipline than the farm-boy amateurs. We began to disperse as soon as the Guardsmen had been safely put back into their four trucks, leaving trails of student blood across the Main Concourse.
Jane: On Monday morning,when we arrived forclass,we were shocked to see the trails of blood were still there. Someone had painted acrylic sealer over them. They couldn't just be washed away and forgotten. I thought it was the most brilliant piece of applied politics I had ever seen. I didn't know who had done it, but that person instantly became a counter-culture hero to me.
Doc: Now the gloves were off. I let my beard grow back, and I took part in some slightly illegal activities. The result was the moving up of my timetable for my departure for Australia. And, sadly, I lost track of the girl with the Nana Mouskouri
glasses for forty-one years. Two years ago, a mutual friend from high school suggested that we friend each other on Facebook.
Jane: We began to correspond online. It wasn't long before we realized we had to hear from each other every day. I found Doc's writing charming, his wit enchanting, and his politics admirable. Early in our exchanges, I had asked Doc what we had achieved with the counterculture revolution of the sixties. His thoughtful response was comforting and inspiring. As we reminisced about the events of May 1970, I mentioned my hero of the acrylic sealer. It was Doc.
Doc: And I found her politics, spirituality and acceptance of my Native American ancestry more attractive even than my memory of that girl in a green uniform. A few people in Colorado think, "Jane ran off with some guy she met on the Internet."
BOTH: But we feel that after fifty years, we are coming Home together.


Personal loans can be used for a variety of solutions, such as paying off existing credit card debt.
Improving your credit score could save you thousands over the life of a personal loan.
Some benefits include a quicker approval process, competitive interest rates, and no fees.
If you're in need of cash or perhaps looking to consolidate some of your credit card debt, an unsecured personal loan could be the solution. With competitive interest rates, flexible terms, and no application, disbursement, or origination fees, personal loans can help you borrow the money you need when you need it most.
Personal loans offer unsecured, fixed, or variable rates. They also offer several different term lengths. You can use a loan calculator before applying to estimate how much your monthly payment will be to make sure the payment fits into your monthly budget.
The benefit of a personal loan is it can be used for a variety of purposes, including paying off existing credit card debt. Other uses for a personal loan may include offsetting the costs of adopting a child, financing a wedding, taking a dream vacation, or making a large purchase, such as furniture.
How is the interest rate on a personal loan determined?
Since personal loans aren't backed by collateral, lenders are going to take a close look at your credit score to make a decision. Generally, the higher your score, the better the interest rate you'll receive on your personal loan. A slightly better interest rate on a large personal loan could save you thousands in interest over the life of the loan, so it's important to improve your credit score as much as possible before applying.
A personal loan may also help improve your credit score if you commit to making every payment on time. A strong track record of on-time payments is a key factor in maintaining good credit.
Quicker approval process: In most instances, you will instantly know if you are approved for a personal loan. On average, you can have the funds from your personal loan in 7-10 days.
Competitive interest rates and no fees: No application fees, no disbursement fees, and no origination fees.
Consolidate debt and streamline payments: Instead of paying multiple credit card bills every month, you can use a personal loan to pay off the credit cards and then make one monthly payment each month (to the personal loan). With a competitive interest rate, you could save thousands of dollars in interest by consolidating your debt this way.
Personal loans can provide the funds you're looking for to consolidate your debt, make that big purchase, or pay for a wedding. Review your finances before applying to ensure a personal loan is the right option to help you meet your financial goals.
We are committed to helping you reach your potential by providing personalized solutions. Our dedicated colleagues can help you find the right product to help you reach your goals. To learn more, please call 1-888-333-0104, visit us online, or Ask a Citizen at your nearest Citizens Bank branch.
