Connie Rieper-Estes likes to name her goat babies in batches. There are the cookie goats: Snickerdoodle, Biscotti, Nutter Butter, and Black and White Cookie. Before them came the ice cream-themed names: Neopolitan and Caramel Sundae. What better names to give a bunch of hungry goats?
But Rieper-Estes' goats are more than your average grazers. The so-called Greedy Goats of Northwest Arkansas are a group of 20 whose job it is to travel around the city of Fayetteville, Arkansas, and eat invasive species. In Northwest Arkansas, that mostly includes bush honeysuckle and Chinese privet, the goats' favorites.
Rieper-Estes launched this business in 2015 after her initial three-goat herd began to multiply. She knew goats were effective at clearing brush and shrubs. (After all, she bought her first three to help clear blackberries from her property.) Out West, goats have become a popular fire suppression tool because they reduce the amount of natural fuel-like shrubs that help wildfire spread. To give you an idea of how in-demand goats have become for all sorts of purposes, HireGoats.com lists "goat service professionals" from around the country.
Still, it took Rieper-Estes some further research before realizing that her hungry friends could be a sustainable solution to removing invasive plants. They eliminate the need for toxic chemicals and energy-guzzling machinery that are often used to kill and remove plants. The goats also help fertilize the land with their droppings.
In Arkansas, the invasive species the goats like to eat can be especially detrimental because there's no natural shrub layer in the state's forests to compete with them, said Travis Marsico, the interim chair of Arkansas State University's biology department. Their existence means fewer resources to sustain native plants on which local wildlife rely. The presence of Chinese privet, in particular, has been linked to slower canopy tree growth and potentially even tree decline and death.
Luckily for native species like Virginia creeper and dogwood, this part of Arkansas has got goats on its side. Because goats don't really eat stems, stalks, or roots, they're not a one-and-done method of removing invasives. They are, however, an effective first step. Afterward, people must come in to finish the job and remove what's left.
that are poisonous to goats, like azaleas. Then, they put up an electric fence that'll surround the goats. Once it's time to eat, Rieper-Estes takes about a dozen goats that voluntarily enter a minivan that transports them to the job site.
"There are a couple goats that never go," she giggles.
Greedy Goats now partners with the City of Fayetteville to remove invasive plants from Wilson Park every year. This was actually the goats' first invasive-fighting gig in 2015, and it's continued every year ever since. The goats have gone on to munch on nasty invasives for private homeowners and the University of Arkansas.
Goats as a weapon against invasive species are catching on around the U.S. There's the Munch Bunch serving the Twin Cities and western Wisconsin that's been around since 2015. In Maryland, Eco-Goats can come to the rescue. And for Greedy Goats, the work is just beginning. The goats will be back at the University of Arkansas next year to help clear out invasives again.
With faces like these, who couldn't love greedy goats?

I decided, "You know what, I want that book." So I bought it. And then I started reading it. At the end of the book I found myself crying and laughing at the same time. I could relate to so much of it. It's like a whole sphere of understanding that wasn't there before.


Abstract: In this paper, we develop a simple two-period model in which a bank's investment (e.g., loans) is influenced by short-term financing and a probability of a financial crisis. When banks ex ante expect to be bailed out during financial crises, they do not necessarily internalize the cost of financial crises and invest more. We argue that the level of systemic risk in the banking sector is largely driven by (1) the way in which banks finance their investment (e.g., loans) using more short-term debt and/or (2) the increase in asset commonality amongst banks. We use three measures that arguably capture two dimensions of "bank systemic risk", namely, (1) bank funding maturity and (2) bank asset commonality, to empirically test whether bank systemic risk has a positive effect on corporate investment. We document that in a sample of publicly listed firms in the United States over the period 1991–2013, bank systemic risk is positively associated with the firm-level investment ratio after controlling for a large set of country- and firm-level variables. In addition, we show that a firm's leverage strengthens the positive effect of bank systemic risk on corporate investment, suggesting that more financially constrained firms experience a larger effect of bank systemic risk on corporate investment than less financially constrained firms.


Bluetooth is a low power, short range wireless technology built in to many phones, tablets and other devices.
This capability may be extended so that App Inventor apps can communicate with Arduino-based devices and other embedded systems.
This tutorial describes how to interface App Inventor apps running on Android to Arduino devices, via the Bluetooth wireless link.
Bluetooth is an industry standard for low power, short range wireless communications between devices such as personal computers, printers, smart phones, tablets, wireless headphones, wireless stereo speakers, sensor systems (like in security alarms) and other applications.
To learn more about Bluetooth technology (and why it has a funny name!), please read our first tutorial on Bluetooth.
Arduino is an open hardware, open software platform for building small electronic devices. The Arduino board is a "microcontroller" – that is, a complete – albeit small, inexpensive and with limited function – computer. Arduino is a popular choice for do-it-yourself projects and is well established in the "Maker" community of DIY project builders. (Side note: I will be at the San Francisco Maker Faire on Saturday, May 16th, 2015).
This is not a tutorial about Arduino boards, software or electronics and presumes the reader is familiar with Arduino development. To learn more about Arduino (and you should learn more about it!) start at the Arduino web site.
This tutorial assumes you have the Arduino software development environment installed on your computer and are familiar with Arduino development.
There are several versions of the Arduino board; I used the Uno version but others should work just fine.
The Arduino board does not contain Bluetooth hardware – to implement Bluetooth requires using a third-party Bluetooth module. I use the JY-MCU Bluetooth module . IMPORTANT – not all Bluetooth modules will work with App Inventor! While new versions of Android support all versions of Bluetooth, App Inventor (at the time of this writing) supports "classic" Bluetooth only. In particular, App Inventor does not support the newer Bluetooth LE (Low Energy) version, at least it does not support the Bluetooth LE module that I have.
I can confirm that the JY-MCU Bluetooth module works but the Bluetooth LE modules I have do not work with App Inventor. My phone can see the Bluetooth LE device but the App Inventor source code cannot communicate with the LE devices.
The module is also available from other vendors.
Photo shows my Arduino UNO board, at left, a prototyping breadboard with a status LED set up, and the JY-MCU Bluetooth module, just above the breadboard.

Q: Past Perfect vs Past Simple (in the context of the following passage) Take a look a the following passage, please:

Jane had always wanted to be a nurse ever since she was a child but her father had told her that nursinbg wasn't a suitable profession for her to follow. Having left / leaving school, she was offered a job working as a doctor's receptionist.

I wonder whether I could used

"...hadn't been a suitable profession for her to follow."

We are talking about the time before her graduating from school (about the time "her father had told her..."). Although it is so, the moment when she needed to chose her profession was much later.
Before answering my question, please, make allowances for be because of my not native origin.

A: Actually, her father was making a general statement about the suitability of the profession for his daughter, not relating an event that occurred at a point-in-time, so simple past is appropriate:

... nursing was not a suitable profession for her to follow.

There is no need to situate the content of his opinion in relation to a reference time.

Ever since she was a child he had told her {that nursing
  was .... }content

Expressions of the opinion occur in time (had told her) but the opinion itself is held over time.

Sexual Attraction Preferences Vary Between Men and Women Across Different Ages
Relationship 20 May 2021 By Hobbs Online
A new analysis suggests that men and women have broadly similar priorities in their sexual attraction preferences but vary in degree of preference for certain traits. Preferences also appear to shift with age. Stephen Whyte of the Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane, Australia, and colleagues present these findings in the open-access journal PLOS ONE.
People's sexual attraction preferences lead them to make decisions about sex, relationships, and reproduction that ultimately influence other facets of society, such as gender roles, gender equity, fertility rates, politics, and more. However, it is unclear how preferences for certain traits vary among men and women and at different life stages.
To shed new light on sexual attraction, Whyte and colleagues surveyed 7,325 Australian users of dating websites, who were aged 18–65. Participants were asked to rate on a scale of 0–100 the importance of nine traits of potential mates. These traits fell into three categories: aesthetics (age, attractiveness, and physical build/features), resources (intelligence, education, and income), and personality (trust, openness, and emotional connection).
Statistical analysis of the responses revealed similar priorities for men and women, with both rating physical build, attractiveness, and all three personality traits as highly important, while income was of much lower importance. However, women rated the importance of age, education, intelligence, income, trust, and emotional connection about 9–14 points higher than men. Additionally, relative to all other traits, men assigned higher priority to attractiveness and physical build than women.
The analysis also showed that differences between men's and women's preferences shifted with age. For instance, while men generally placed higher relative importance on aesthetics than women, that gap narrowed with age. Meanwhile, younger women placed higher relative importance than younger men on personality, but older men and women prioritised personality more similarly.
Overall, these findings align with predictions of existing theories of attraction, including those that consider mate choice in the context of parenting. The authors note the limitations of their study and highlight potential directions for future research towards an even more nuanced understanding of sexual attraction.
The authors add: 'Both sexes tend to find the same things sexy in a potential mate, but that at different life stages from 18-80 years old, males and females can differ quite significantly in the importance they place on those same particular characteristics.'

Jack Johnson hit the road this fall touring at historic intimate theatres across the US and Europe. The Oniracom crew was ecstatic to get a chance to see Jack at the historic and beautiful Arlington Theatre in Downtown Santa Barbara this past Sunday.
Bahamas did a wonderful job opening for Jack. The crowd was swaying to their calm and soothing tunes. Santa Barbara was Jack's last stop on his long 7 week tour with Bahamas, so naturally he made this last show a special one playing for two hours with appearances by J RADIO and Paula Fuga. The show went on for a full two hours, with Jack jamming out to "Bubble Toes", "Staple It Together," "Brushfire Fairytales" and also some new tracks from From Here to Now to You. Arlington's intimate setting made for a great atmosphere. We were able to grab a great video of "Bubble Toes." Check it out below!

Three Incredible Debut Albums That Will Knock You Off Your Feet
Music, SoundCloud, Internet, Blogs, Days Are Gone, Pure Heroine, CHVRCHES, The Bones of What You Believe, Lorde, Haim
It's really amazing and inspiring when a brand new band/artist starts off their career with a killer debut album that hits the Internet and blogosphere by storm. This year has brought me not one, but THREE ridiculously good debut albums.
What these three artists have in common however, is not just their amazing debuts, but the large amount of hype that they each received leading up to their release dates. Who do we have to thank for that? The Internet.
CHVRCHES are an electro synth-pop band from Glasgow, Scotland. The electro synth pop genre is a difficult one to really stand out in, especially on SoundCloud, which is where CHVRCHES first released their extremely strong single "Lies." This track stood out for its dark and commanding lyrics, which is a nice comparison to your typical electro pop band. Lies was then featured on a music blog called Neon Gold and CHVRCHES became a band born on the Internet. Their debut album The Bones of What You Believe was highly anticipated, and although it included several already well-known tracks, (i.e. "Gun", "The Mother We Share", "Recover") fans were ecstatic to hear the new powerful lyrics and synths behind The Bones of What You Believe. The album received critical acclaim across a wide array of music blogs including Pitchfork, Stereogum, The Line of Best Fit, and more.


This brief summarizes discussions at Science Forum 2018 (SF18), organized around four main building blocks (1. Research design; 2. Prioritizing activities; 3. Measuring success; and, 4. Demonstrating impact) that the Forum participants were asked to consider in every session.
Could we win more benefits for smallholder farmers and lose less nutritional quality in diets if we shift the focus of plant breeding programs?
How can agricultural research help win more benefits from livestock intensification and lessen the negative environmental impacts and increased risks from zoonoses?
Where are the key opportunities to increase energy and water efficiency while improving our food systems?
These are some of the questions posed at the recent SF18, held from October 10-12 in Stellenbosch, South Africa . The event was designed to take a close look at the interactions, i.e. synergies and trade-offs, that may be a by-product of too narrow a focus on individual Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and how agricultural research can play a role in effectively meeting multiple objectives.

From fantasy to reality: Brooklyn sculptor turns love of fantasy football into business
Even Jay-Z has his eye on one of these sculptures, the artist said
Check out this article! https://www.salon.com/2015/09/29/from_fantasy_to_reality_brooklyn_sculptor_turns_love_of_fantasy_football_into_business/

In 1991, Brooklyn artist Dave Mitri won his fantasy football league. Taking sculpting classes in college at the time, he decided to sculpt a prize trophy for himself. Nearly 25 years later, Mitri has now sold his trophies to residents in all 50 states.
Unlike any other fantasy football trophy, Mitri's trophies are modeled after out of shape couch potatoes. "When you're involved in a fantasy league, pretty much all you do is sit around on a couch all day and just watch football," said Mitri. "There was never an idea where I thought 'let me do an athletic looking figure'... the idea of having a remote control and a can of beer, that's all I did."
Mitri's biggest client yet? Jay-Z. He says that knowing celebrities and athletes are playing for his trophies is "the coolest thing."
"Taking what essentially is a hobby and being that I really love football and sports, to take a passion of yours and be able to have a small business around it is really incredible," said Mitri.
To check out Mitri's trophies visit fantasytrophies.com. Watch our interview with Mitri below:

A new choice for Queer content: Happi TV hopes to bring solace to LGBTQ+ in these troubled times
Publisher's Column - START THE PRESSES!
Hard copies of GayCalgary Magazine are coming back!
Publisher's Column by Steve Polyak (From GayCalgary® Magazine, September 2017, page 7)
Before I get into the WTF title of this Publisher's Column, I should get our readers caught up on what a busy last several months it has been for me. Yes, I am behind on getting the online editions together. Last edition posted online was for August 2017. This one has become the September/October Edition. I know that is strange, but there are reasons for this.
First off, this year has been extremely busy for me. Most people forget that even though I have freelance writers and an editor, everything else is done solely by me. This is not an easy task. When the magazine first started, Rob did the graphic design, programming of the website, editing of articles, writing articles, video editing, some of the magazine layout and more. I did photos, getting content together, assigning articles, most of the layout of the magazine, posting articles, dealing with advertisers and non-profit groups, the bulk of the emails, and more. We both dealt with magazine distribution, which took several days to do.
Everything that Rob did I now do. The last print edition, the December 2014/January 2015, was Rob's last active edition with the magazine. Removing the hard copies off the task list made it a little easier to take over Rob's tasks plus add a couple new ones, like concentrating on social media.
As the economy tanked in Alberta down went other publications like FFWD and several others. Over the last three years, LGBTQ publications across Canada stopped printing, like Xtra Vancouver, Xtra Toronto and Outwords in Winnipeg, going in favour of online only – like us – while some publications fully shut down. New gay media websites in Canada pop up, last a year or two and shut down. Canadian mainstream media made major mergers and laid off journalists, and the shut down of local papers showed that the new world of the USA-based Facebook, Twitter and Google are too big competition for ad revenue, hurting local media and journalism across Canada.
For me, the switch was still to produce the PDF edition of the magazine 10 times a year, but to concentrate covering Alberta-based prides along with Whistler Pride; to do travel articles, continue doing our very popular interviews, and photos of community events. June to October became overwhelming to keep up with that plus all the other tasks I need to do.
Just about every weekend from June to the middle of October there was an event that I needed to cover. People would ask me what I had upcoming for events and I could rattle off all of them from the top of my head.
There was Edmonton Pride weekend, Lethbridge Pride weekend, Canada 150 weekend, Calgary Stampede/FAB Bear Weekend, Great Canadian Bear Weekend (Edmonton), Red Deer Pride, ISCWR Coronation (Edmonton), Calgary Pride Weekend, Medicine Hat Pride, Edmonton Comic and Entertainment Expo, finishing off with Banff Pride. These events do happen every year but, this year, I was able to bundle coverage of the Great Canadian Bear Weekend, Red Deer Pride, Medicine Hat Pride and Banff Pride with travel coverage of each of those destinations. So, I was able to spend a day or more in each location.
With all those events, I still had to deal with 400 to 600 emails per day, plus post stuff to social media, edit and post articles, sort through photos, get content together, do video editing, write articles, do product reviews and other daily stuff I do to run the magazine. I also squeezed in the weekly email blasts that I need to do for over 22,700 digital subscribers. Yup, I work a lot.
I was hoping to reduce my workload by eventually halting the PDF edition, since readers were transitioning from the PDF, ISSUU and Magzter version of the magazine to reading the articles directly online. The focus was to also reduce advertising rates to become comparable or cheaper than advertising on Facebook alone, so there would be absolutely no room to start printing hard copies again. I came up with new ways of getting advertisers exposure, which included web banners and pop ups on the GayCalgary website, and have ads appear in our weekly email blast plus across all our social media feeds, which included Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, and still have ads appear in the PDF, ISSUU and Magzter versions of the magazine.
Requests had started coming in that I needed to get hard copies back into the bars. This was not an easy task to do. With the lack of advertisers, which is the only revenue the magazine generates, which just barely covers the cost of operations, to try to squeeze out hard copies from anything remaining is impossible.
I contacted our original printers to get quotes. The smallest print run would be 500 copies and the cost that and shipping would be more than the current monthly operating costs of the magazine. So, either turn off everything that 300,000 visitors a month or over 1.3 million unique visitors a year to the GayCalgary Website see to provide 500 free copies of the magazine? Nope! Not a direction I wanted to go.
Several printers quoted the jobs and they all came up with options to downsize the magazine by reducing our page count. I spent several days trying to figure out what to remove, and it would be a drastic change to what we do, like removing the photo section of the magazine, or all sponsored advertising to non-profit groups, or the map and directory listings for Calgary and Edmonton, or to have every article downsized to one or two pages and force readers to go online to see the rest. Nope! Removing those features would either piss off the readers, or would hurt the non-profit groups.
I could go back to newspaper print with black and white printing, but after being glossy, that would also be out of the question. Then there was the other problem of distribution. Prior to us stopping printing copies, we were down to five locations in Edmonton and 15 in Calgary. There are now even less than for us to distribute to and, after seeing other free publications still getting tossed out at the end of the month, it would be a waste of money.
We did have an option to get single copies printed using a third-party service, which I had done samples of a couple years ago. The copies looked great, but for $35 a copy and up to four to six weeks to receive them from the US, it would not work. The cost of shipping was also about half the price! The other problem would be that if the magazines were sitting out at bars for people to read, we know they would go missing, and who would cover that cost?
I then spent time getting quotes from several local printers in Calgary. I was still getting $30 and up per copy, but at least that did not include shipping. Problem is that the magazine I produce is too thick, so cheap options like stapling them is not available. So back to figuring out how to reduce the page count. The magazine was stapled in the past, even on the thick versions of the magazine. But that was because the paper stock to do the 500 copies is thinner than paper stock for single runs. The cost does go down the more I print, but there again, with the lack of advertising revenue, there was no way I could do it.
Changing to spiral or comb binding would bring the cost down by half, but when was the last time you saw that type of binding? Not really something that would look like a magazine as the finished product.
After doing more research and test runs internally, I finally figured out how I would do it. It will add more to my already busy schedule and, with all this research, it got me even more behind on getting PDF editions together for the remainder of this year. But I think this is the best and right direction to get hard copies.
The magazines would be printed in house. Seeing that even Staples is charging 40 cents a page and the editions are 64 pages or more, printing it in house on glossy paper stock would reduce the cost. To finish off the magazine, I would also bind it in-house too. I still would have to purchase the machine to do it, which of course will be pricy, but once I have it, I would just need the supplies.
On the test runs it turned out to be close to what we would be getting as copies that cost $35 and up. The binding process that I will be using will include a plastic cover, which is perfect for the bars.
Hard copies will not be free as they have been in the past. If the advertisers are paying reduced rates for us to compete with Facebook, then the cost of printing these single copies will need to be covered. At least with the method I will be doing, the hard copies will be only $8.95 each! I hope the price won't change, but until I see how much laser printer toner I go through per edition, it is hard to judge right now. You will still be able to read the magazine online for free.
Since I am printing the magazine in house, I can control how many are created for each edition and only supply according to demand. So, don't expect to see a stack of 25 copies waiting at bars and magazine shops. I don't want to be wasteful. The plan is to have magazines available at gay bars in Calgary, and eventually in Edmonton, so the bars become a destination point for people to buy copies. I am in the process of working out the logistics for it. Texas Lounge and Goliaths is excited over this, but I am still waiting to hear back from the Backlot and Twisted Element. Both had not read the plan I had submitted by the time I had written this column. Once the logistics have been worked out, I will expand the distribution to Edmonton, hopefully to Steamworks and Evolution.
Advertisers who are supporting the magazine every month would get one or two copies for free, depending on how much they are spending. Since I have control over individual copies, they would be either watermarked with the company name or logo or, somewhere on the cover, it could state something like Texas Lounge Copy.
People will also be able to purchase the hard copies from the GayCalgary website. The store is already running, but is for the previous hard copies from November 2003 to the December 2014/January 2015 edition. These new editions will be added, and magazines will be mailed or picked up from our Calgary office. Another thing that is great with this method, any edition can be printed, including the editions where no print copies were created. Also, past editions that were printed on newspaper stock could be produced using this method. We had done yearly subscriptions in the past so that will be available once I figure out our press schedule for 2018. I don't know if I will continue with 10 editions per year or reduce the number down to eight or six, which will take more planning to account for all the events happening around Alberta.
One of the problems with going to online only was that when we did interviews with celebrities that appear at the Comic Expos, people wanted hard copies of those editions for the celebrities to sign. This will be perfect for those type of keepsakes. Also, when we featured Kylie Minogue, Cyndi Lauper and other major celebrities on the cover, we had orders from around the world for those editions. Some of them did get editions printed through that third-party service, but readers said they either never received them or they were poor quality. They will now get a great looking copy directly from GayCalgary. Depending on the public relations company we deal with, going online only put us on the level as a blogger, so potential interviews or articles that we had in the past with print were taken away from us, even though we produce a PDF edition.
On the negative side of all of this is the added time. Layout and creating the PDF, ISSUU and Magzter version of the magazine, which I do in the evenings after I am done doing social media throughout the day and flagging emails that I need to respond to, now takes about a week.
The tradeoff is providing something that Facebook will never provide to advertisers, plus engaging a reader base that might have been lost. It will also, hopefully, provide something else to do in the bars when people are waiting around for their friends to show up, or when tourists come to town looking for travel information, or have something to read in the places you can't have cell phones or mobile devices present.
At $8.95 a copy, it barely covers the cost, but at least it is inline with other magazines out there, as well as subscriptions of online services. I don't know how many copies will be ordered per month, but maybe if this takes off, I will investigate putting them into limited magazine store locations, and places like Little Sisters and other gay bookstores across Canada. It is still too early to know, but it is a start.
If you run a business and would like to have copies for people to read – like dentist or doctor office waiting rooms – or would like to help support GayCalgary by advertising, please contact me. The more people who I know that are interested in hard copies or advertising, the more it will help me develop the upcoming year for GayCalgary.
On a side note, the next edition of GayCalgary will wrap up the remaining part of 2017 to get the months back on track to go with the hard copies. It will contain all the coverage from Calgary Pride weekend, during which I took over 12,000 photos in just five days, to the start of December. The photos will be posted online prior to that edition being completed. Until logistics get worked out, I don't know if this edition will be the last one for 2017, or the first one for 2018.

Q: How can I run a Greasemonkey script when page changed via ajax? I have that script:
// ==UserScript==
// @name     example
// @include  http://xxx*
// @require  http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js
// ==/UserScript==

var findElem = function(elems, text) {
    for (var i = 0; i < elems.length; i++) {
        if (elems[i].textContent == text) {
            return elems[i];
        } else {
            var result = findElem(elems[i].children, text);
            if (result != undefined) {
                return result;
            }
        }
    }
    return;
}

switch (document.getElementById('my_id').value) {
    case "1":
        findElem(document.documentElement.children, "blabla1").click();
        break;
    case "2":
        findElem(document.documentElement.children, "blabla2").click();
        break;
    case "3":
        findElem(document.documentElement.children, "blabla3").click();
        break;
    case "4":
        findElem(document.documentElement.children, "blabla4").click();
        break;
    default:
        break;
}

It works fine but it works only main page load. I want to run this when page changed via ajax. How can I do that?
Also please give examples with your answers. I'm newbie. I don't know how to use things in your answers.

A: Since browser's environment is event-driven you'll have to either set up a timer, bind to some event that happens around update you looking for. Alternatively, you can wrap function that does update and call your code in post-hook. Obviously, you'll need to wrap your userscript code in some function to reuse.
Here's an example with timer set up with setInterval (top of script is still the same):
setInterval(function(){
    switch (document.getElementById('my_id').value) {
        case "1":
            findElem(document.documentElement.children, "blabla1").click();
            break;
        case "2":
            findElem(document.documentElement.children, "blabla2").click();
            break;
        case "3":
            findElem(document.documentElement.children, "blabla3").click();
            break;
        case "4":
            findElem(document.documentElement.children, "blabla4").click();
            break;
        default:
            break;
    }
}, 1000) // if AJAX updates happen with some specific interval, set same number here to minimize useless work

A: If your host is using jQuery, then you can use ajaxSuccess or ajaxComplete:
function mainCode(){
    // your script logic here ...
    switch (document.getElementById('my_id').value) {
        // truncated to save space
    }
}

$(document).ready(function(){
    mainCode();
    unsafeWindow.$(document).ajaxSuccess(function(e, xhr, opt) {
        mainCode();
    });
});

A: You could use the mutation event handler to trigger your function each time the html is altered. However, browsersupport is not the best;)
