If this should actually work(anybody had success with these mini's?) I figure I can then make the ~ 36"-48" version with the screen bottom, and maybe a bottom board as well.
Because of the summer heat in the area there will be shade provided and at least the top will be white painted and possibly insulated as well. Does anyone in hot areas do anything for insulating the sides and top of a hive. Obviously it wouldn't be practical to provide an insulating R Factor with a lot of hives but with only a couple it shouldn't take too much effort.
And that "baby bar", great idea.
I didn't really understand the first picture with a super on the tbh. Is that something doable, or common? I have a minimal understanding of things.
the only thing I can think to address that issue would be to make custom tbh frames.
Hope its ok to reply to this so long after the last post, but Id be very interested in learning whether or not you (biobee/phil) have employed this design as a bait hive and, if so, have you had any success with it?
Ditto. I'm hoping to build something like this with our coming Spring not too far away. I'd like to catch a local mongrel swarm and house them in this.
This is where the bees I talk about live.
If this calculator is right and my data entry is too... Then a 18" long version is 32 litres. A 26" long hive body is 46 litres. I'm thinking of going 26" (660mm) and adding one follower board to initially close it down to 40 litres. If the bees space their comb at 38mm, this will give them 17 bars... Sounds a lot for a nuc hive.
I have three 20" versions.. - that's the internal width. 13 bars of 38mm width which is what I use. Works very well. I expect to take all three into winter basically full of bees and stores. The two I overwintered last year did well.
I use 9" boxes for nucs and 18" boxes for portable/bait hives. The latter are big enough to overwinter a colony and probably about right for 'conservation hives', although less easy to open and check due to restricted space.
The volume is height x length x average width, so for a 9" nuc it would be 11x9x10=990 cu in =16.2 liters and double that for the 18" version, so your calculator works!
I'm just back for the city with the wood for the making of a 26" (660mm) version. I'd better get cracking!
I have built a mini TBH similar to yours and used it to transport a swarm and as a bait hive (as yet unsuccessful) but I don't understand the role of the super. My mini hive has top bars so a super wouldn't work anyway?
Great A frame, going to have to make one or two.
The natural products that you have described in your post seems to be good and effective.


Presentation tools are used by millions of people to communicate ideas. Much of this effort is design work, and yet most of these users have no knowledge of design processes. A powerful technique for producing good designs is parallel prototyping. Novices, unfortunately, do not know the benefit of this technique and often do not overcome the effort barrier to creating design alternatives. However, if a system automatically creates design alternatives and presents them to users, the users' task shifts from creating alternatives to merely recognizing good alternatives. Previously, automatically generating well-designed slides was hard. Today, we can mine the web for large datasets of highly-rated slides and use machine learning to extract patterns to create alternatives. We will use these technologies to create a PowerPoint plugin that automatically generates design alternatives. Through quantitative experiments we will measure novice design recognition ability. Next, we will test the correlation between design recognition ability and the quality of novices' designs. After introducing our tool, we will test whether automatically generating alternatives improves design quality. We will also determine the key times to present alternatives to maximize quality. This new tool introduces novices to parallel prototyping and enables them to improve their designs.


This unique St. Andew patron saint medal was hand carved and cast in lead-free pewter by an American artisan from Mississippi.

U.S. Remains the Top Choice for Students to Study Abroad
The United States is the Number 1 destination in the world for international students to study, thanks to its diverse education sector.
For the fifth year in a row, the United States hosted over 1 million international students during the 2019–2020 academic year, says the latest Open Doors report produced by the Institute of International Education (IIE) and the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.
The Open Doors report kicked off the 21st annual International Education Week (IEW), a joint initiative of the U.S. departments of State and Education to highlight the mutual benefits of international education and exchange among countries around the world.
"We are encouraged to see a fifth year of more than 1 million international students in the United States before the pandemic," said Marie Royce, Assistant Secretary of State for Educational and Cultural Affairs.
"International student mobility is as important today as ever, and we believe the United States is the best destination for students to study and earn their degrees. Education is a pathway to a greater future and international educational exchange has the power to transform students' trajectories." — Assistant Secretary of State Marie Royce
During the 2019–2020 academic year, the most international students came to the United States from China, India and South Korea. Students from Bangladesh increased by 7%, and students from Nigeria increased by 2.5% from the previous year.
The most popular study destinations for international students were California and New York, according to the report. Texas and Massachusetts were the third and fourth top choices for international students because of the number of top universities in those states.
More than half of international students majored in a science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) field, with business and management and social sciences the next leading fields of study.
The United States isn't only a destination for students to study STEM, though. This year also saw a 2.2% increase in international students studying fine and applied arts.
Meanwhile, students from the United States continue to pursue undergraduate study abroad programs at high rates. Over 347,000 American students studied abroad during the 2018–2019 academic year, a 1.6% increase from the year before.
The United Kingdom and Italy were the top choices for American students, followed by Spain and France.
But the number of American students who studied in South Korea increased by 16% from the previous year, suggesting that American students are increasingly interested in studying abroad in countries beyond Europe.
The Open Doors 2019–2020 report was compiled before the COVID-19 pandemic affected education around the world.
But there is reason to believe the pandemic won't negatively affect global education in the long run, said Allan Goodman, president and chief executive of IIE.
COVID-19 is the 12th pandemic in IIE's 101-year history. During the others, IIE was able to track trends in international education and found that, after a pandemic, international exchange quickly bounced back.
"While pandemics cause tremendous hardship and disruption, there are also strong reasons for optimism," he said. "After each, international education exchange rapidly resumes and the number of student involved also grows substantially."

Our popular Winter Course is now available in our course list. During the Winter Course we practise the exercise Shenxin Qigong a lot, and that is appreciated by many of our participants that subsequently returns to the course every year. A lot of training during as much as nine days in our strong qi-field gives us good conditions to produce good results. If you didn't already we do recommend that you read about the good results that the participants got from the Winter Course 2018.
Training, beautiful surroundings, meeting lovely qigongers plus a chance to get good training results that improve our lives. What more could one want from life?
A good way to prepare for the Winter Course is to book the course early on. At the Winter Course we also have different alternatives for living and food. The different alternatives for living are: Dormitory, double room and single room. The number of available rooms are limited. If you want to book a room we recommend that you book the course as soon as possible, after that you will be given the opportunity to book a room. Should you not be able to get your hands on a room we always have a place for you in our popular dormitories.
Another good way to prepare for the Winter Course (if you joined the Winter Course before) is to join the Winter Course training that we this year arrange in Stockholm. During that three day long course we practise the same way as we do during the Winter Course. The big advantage is that you do not need to wait for the Winter Course in february, the Winter Course training is held in november.

Yes, it's that time of year again! Once again we are writing to let you know that we are looking for partners with whom to engage in creative, new mission initiatives!
We are a standing committee of the Eastern Synod that reviews and approves grant applications from congregations, Ministry Areas and related institutions to support short and long term Mission Initiatives as well as Compassionate Justice initiatives addressing hunger and poverty related issues in the wider community. Funding for the short and long term mission grants we provide comes from synodical and national endowment funds that were created through the generosity of our forebearers to advance the mission of the church. Funds in support of community Compassionate Justice initiatives come to us via Canadian Lutheran World Relief.
Visioning events, exploring new ministry partnerships, consulting, specialized interim ministry, media acquisition etc.
This could include website or graphic redesigns or one-‐time community events and communication projects. Last year, we helped a number of congregations communicate with their neighbourhoods and establish new community partnerships.
Canadian Lutheran World Relief provides us with funds to support domestic hunger issues via Compassionate Justice grants. We currently help fund, for instance, a breakfast programme for hungry neighbours in Orillia, a healthy food distribution programme in Hamilton and a variety of community garden projects across the synod.
We want to support efforts to reach out to new Canadians. We support a vibrant and growing Mandarin and Cantonese mission congregation in Markham. Similarly, a new inner-city ministry in Hamilton, ON is reaching out to new immigrants and the urban poor.
a) Build awareness on hunger and poverty issues as well as solutions through education, leadership development and advocacy.
b) Focus on domestic hunger and poverty issues with priority given to: -Food security (i.e. production, distribution, acquisition, nutrition, land use) -Employment (i.e. job training, counselling, placement, child care) -Development (i.e. preventative and primary health care, water and sanitation, literacy, housing, social services, environmental issues).
c) Are well planned in cooperation with and build on the social, cultural and spiritual resources of people who have access to limited material resources.
e) Operate in collaboration with other ecumenical and social services partners.
Note: Short Term Partnership programming is for projects to be completed in a single calendar year. Long Term Partnership Support is for programming taking place over the course of two or more years.
a) Gatherings, meetings and/or conversations that foster a renewed discernment of God's mission.
b) Leadership development facilitating the formation of leaders for addressing the challenges of discerning and supporting God's mission in our changing context.
c) Staffing to achieve discerned mission goals. For example, contracts for consulting services, project development, organizing and/or presentations.
d) Funding to rent or purchase equipment or space in support of experimental ministry initiatives.
e) Working in cooperation with other churches, non-profit organizations or businesses, particularly if they are locally based.
f) Connecting with those who are minimally, or not at all, involved in church life.
g) Initiatives that will continue in a fiscally sustainable manner after the initial funding period.
h) Production of promotional materials.
i) Development funds for new mission opportunities.
j) Providing internship placement in a mission congregation.
k) Assisting in providing short-term funds to engage additional staff to facilitate outreach ministry.
l) Supporting new ethnic-specific ministries.
m) Surveys for new mission opportunities.
n) Financial and stewardship planning.
This list is not meant to be exhaustive. Use your imaginations and follow the promptings of the Holy Spirit! Every application will be considered but please note that preference is given to applications which demonstrate a significant partnership commitment on the part of the applicant.
Two Grant Application Forms (one for Short-Term and Compassionate Justice Funding applications; and another for Long-Term Funding applications) are available on our Mission Committee blog page on the Eastern Synod website http://www.easternsynod.org/content/mission-committee. The deadline to submit these forms is September 28, 2018, either to ezehr@elcic.ca or through regular mail or fax to the Synod Office.


The TimeFrame Timeline print and ebook set helps student use colored lifelines to record people and events in history so that they can see a century at a glance, and remember who did what when. It is so quick and easy — even boys will do it!

TimeFrame Timeline helps student use colored lifelines to record people and events in history so they can see a century at a glance, and remember who did what when. It's quick and easy — even boys will do it!
TimeFrame Timeline ebook helps student use colored lifelines to record people and events in history so that they can see a century at a glance, and remember who did what when. It's quick and easy — even boys will do it!
Downloadable ebook: 8.5 x 11"
TimeFrame Timeline print and ebook set is not a "done-for-you" timeline. Instead, it is designed to be a personal record of what and whom you've studied. For example, if you're studying a period of history, record the lifelines of all the people who interest you. For me, the Medieval and Renaissance eras are intensely interesting, so my personal timeline has more people on those pages than anywhere. In addition, my lifelines focus on people in literature, theology, and the arts, plus amazing women and a few of my ancestors.
I believe that active learning — pausing for a moment to record a lifeline, including a person's name, year of birth and death, and a fact or quote about them, they're very likely to remember the person. If they simply look at a timeline that someone else has created, there's no investment of mental energy, no engagment of motor skills in the act of recording, and limited likelihood that they'll retain anything. Timeframe Timeline encourages seeing, thinking, and doing, and that's memorable.
The Timeline is meant for a quick personal record, not a work of art. Try to gently discourage excessive perfectionism.
FAQ: Where do you find people and events to include?
You'll find them throughout whatever you're reading or studying. If you're following a curriculum such as AmblesideOnline.org, Sonlight, histories by Susan Wise Bauer or Diana Waring, BiblioPlan, Veritas Press, Tapestry of Grace, Classical Conversations, or any other, you'll find many people worthy of inclusion.
You can include favorite artists, authors, scientists, explorers, theologians, royalty, fictional characters, people who inspire you in some way, and a few of your most interesting ancestors. There are suggestions in the text for other sources of people to include, but many students can create a full and fascinating timeline from the curriculum they are already using.

Remarks By Honourable Mark Vanterpool at Contract Signing For Windy Hill Slope Stabilisation And Drain Construction
Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Loan
Disaster Recovery, Special projects unit (including Caribbean Development Bank Loan funded projects)
Thursday, 6 September 2018 - 2:52pm
REMARKS BY MINISTER FOR COMMUNICATIONS AND WORKS
HONOURABLE MARK VANTERPOOL
CARIBBEAN DEVELOPMENT BANK LOAN FUNDED PROJECTS
WINDY HILL SLOPE STABILISATION AND DRAIN CONSTRUCTION
CONTRACT SIGNING
I have joined the Honourable Premier, Dr. D. Orlando Smith, on several occasions, as we completed negotiations with local contractors, to carry out rehabilitation works to our roads and bridges infrastructure.
I am pleased to say that we have made great progress with these rehabilitation works and the Government is eager to complete the remaining projects.
To date, contracts have been signed in the amount of $13, 034, 916.96. This gives a balance of $2,144,054.75.
Nine (9)projects have already been completed.These include:
Drainage solution and road rehabilitation works in Long Trench,
Drainage improvement and road rehabilitation in Fortune Ghut,
Reconstruction of road and slope stabilization in Huntum's Ghut,
Road and drainage improvement in Palestina,
Embankment stabilization and road reinstatement in Ballast Bay,
Installation of a retaining wall at Thomas Land,
Drainage improvement in Parham Town,
Drainage solution and road stabilization in Greenland, and
Construction of retaining walls and road rehabilitation in Nottingham Estate.
There are two (2) contracts for infrastructure works currently ongoing, which include:
Lee Road, Virgin Gorda- Drainage Solution and Road Rehabilitation which is 90% complete per contract, however, the project has been put on hold until some land issues are resolved; and
Horse Path- Reconstruction of Road, Slope Stabilisation and Drain Construction at Upper and Lower Horsepath has been completed according to contract but additional works to the lower end is ongoing and is expected to be completed by November of 2018.
Initially, this contract was awarded to G-Unit Construction, however, was terminated in April 2017, due to several breaches and based on this, the Government decided to invoke Clause 56 of the General Conditions of Contract (GCC).
In July 2017, the territory experienced a considerable amount of rainfall which caused many significant landslides and undermining of the upper and lower roadways. The project was at that time revisited by the Engineering Consultants FDL Consult Inc. As a result, the scope of works was significantly altered, by upgrading the drainage structures, the roadway and retaining walls.
This project was retendered and has now been awarded to Autland Heavy Equipment Co Limited in the amount of $1,741,000.91.
The Works consist of:
General clearance of land along the route of the permanent works;
Disposal of unsuitable site arisings;
Demolition of an existing reinforced concrete road pavement;
Construction of four (4) reinforced concrete cantilever retaining walls;
Construction of a reinforced concrete box drain along the upper and lower Windy Hill roads;
Construction of a reinforced concrete cascading box drain between the upper and lower Windy Hill roads;
Installation of a reinforced concrete culvert along upper Windy Hill road; and
Reconstruction of demolished section of road pavement.
Autland Heavy Equipment has successfully completed similar projects for the Government, and we are confident that they will remember the high quality standards that are required.
As Minister for Communications and Works, I express gratitude to my colleagues in Government, especially the Minister for Finance - Premier Smith; my staff at the Ministry of Communications and Works, in particular the CDB Project Team, and also to all of the contractors and teams involved in the successful execution of these CDB Loan-funded projects to date.
We expect to see all of these projects completed very soon, to the benefit of the residents of and visitors to our beautiful Virgin Islands.

Danmarks og Norges ökonomiske Magazin ("Magazyn Ekonomiczny Danii i Norwegii") — pismo ekonomiczne powstałe w latach pięćdziesiątych XVIII wieku. W latach 1757–1764 wydawał je biskup Bergen Erik Pontoppidan.

W 1755 rząd skierował do społeczeństwa prośbę-propozycję przedstawiania rad ekonomicznych, które mogłyby przyczynić się do wzrostu zamożności kraju. Danmarks og Norges ökonomiske Magazin drukował m.in. polemiki i propozycje związane z tym apelem.

1 stycznia 1758 roku pastor Otto Diederich Lutken (1719-1790) rozważał na łamach pisma kwestię czy jest jakaś preferowana dla gospodarki i rozwoju królestwa liczba poddanych, wyprzedzając o wiele lat teorie Thomasa Malthusa.

The recent warning issued by the World Health Organisation that gonorrhoea is becoming resistant to the last drugs in our armoury heightens awareness of the need for new antibiotics, as do the many reports of new hospital 'superbugs'. There is some excellent primary research on antibiotic discovery – including exciting developments in metagenomics on the Norwich Research Park – but the issue is how to translate this research into marketable treatments.
In relation to this important area of research, David Livermore (Professor of Medical Microbiology at Norwich Medical School) has written an interesting overview for Laboratory News.

What sports betting sites offer good bonuses and dont have high minimum deposits?
There are a whole host of sites owned by one company (Domain Holdings, INC) that have gr8 bonuses and a low min, deposit ($20). They also use random Visa processors that are not tied to gaming, so u can use gift cards or ur debit card from the USA and it should go thru. My favorite is AllPro.com. Now, you asked about sports betting, and I will stand by my belief that they run fair and good sports books. But their casino software and their poker software is another story… I think that the poker platform the run their sites thru is questionable at best and I don't need an independent auditor to tell me their betsoft slots and their blackjack have been manipulated from the original software release to give the house more of an advantage.
Vegas Vacation with friends on a modest budget. What are some affordable dining and entertainment options?
We are all between 21 and 24 and will be staying at the Flamingo for a week in June. How can we get the most bang for our buck on dining and entertainment?
Las Vegas Hilton – "Superbook"
The LVH is our fav place to watch a game, free drinks, .05c 9/6 JOB video poker, etc – Caesars, MGM & Mirage also have very nice sportsbooks….
How much money do i need for my 9 day trip to vegas?
My flight and hotel are already paid. I will not be gambling or drinking that much, i just want to know how much i should budget for food and entertainment.
It is my first time going.. n I know i should bring extra money but i just want an estimate of what i should take?
At least $100 per day.
If you just eat fast food, that's going to be $10 per meal. Gambling is a tough variable to predict. The Wheel of Fortune and Megabucks slots can eat $20 within five minutes or less. "Not gambling that much" can be $20 per day for five minutes of play or $100 per day for 25 minutes of play. Money lasts a bit longer on video poker or if you go downtown and play low limit blackjack or craps.
There's also a chance that you'll win and be able to extend your gaming time.
Entertainment also has a large variance in price. There's a lot of free entertainment like the Bellagio fountain show, Sirens of Treasure Island, and casino bar lounge acts; but they don't last very long. Video games are entertaining and fairly inexpensive (I played Guitar Hero at the Bellagio arcade for about a half hour last month, total cost of around $5.) Big name shows and concerts last longer… About two hours… And cost around $50 or more depending on what type of seat you want.
So you could figure, at minimum, one $50 show per day plus three $10 fast food meals and five minutes of gambling at $20, which equals $100. No cab fare.
I play casino city on facebook and everynoe who come in my casino give me a thumbs down?
My casino is clean and my games are empty so i dont know why this is.
I was just wondering if this has happened to anyone else!
I play casino city on facebook too. If you are not adding new slots and video poker machine and buying drinks for your friends who come through you door you can expect to get a thumbs down. Make sure you visit your friends casinos and play their games to collect chips. Also sending free gifts will help. Send me a friends request on facebook so I can take a look at your casino and add you as a VIP to my casino. The more friends you have the more stuff you'll get. My name is Carole Bucher add me.
Are there any cover charges to get into the Horseshoe Casino in Indiana?
And how much money would you guys recommend that I bring? I'm a lightweight, by the way, so I probably won't have more then like 4 or 5 drinks I'm guessing. And also, what's it like there in general? Like what can I expect? I'm going this weekend for a friend's 21st birthday and none of the people going have ever been before so we have no idea what it's going to be like ha.
I go to the Horseshoe casino just outside New Albany.
No, there is no cover charge and parking is free. You will need your I.D. And your hand will be stamped when you enter. The state of Indiana collects a certain amount of money for each person that enters, but the casino pays this for you.
The state of Indiana also does not allow the casino to give you free alcoholic drinks. You must pay for them. Soft drinks, tea, coffee etc. Are free. You cannot bring your own booze on board.
The casino boat has four floors and smoking is allowed on all but the first floor. Every floor has slot machines.
~ Top floor has the high limit area and also most of the penny slot machines.
~ The best table games are on the third floor.
~ Second floor has a deli for sandwiches and snacks and a serve-yourself soft drink machine. There is also live entertainment.
~ The first floor has blackjack and poker. Also, there are some snack and sandwich vending machines (go through the poker area) and a serve-yourself soft drink machine.
Off the boat there are shopping areas and several places to eat including a nice buffet. Also there is "Legends" with food and live entertainment.

However, this page: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.9/object/likes (which seems to be describing the same endpoint if a {page-id} is passed in for {object-id} is saying that it returns "An array of User or Page objects representing the people or Pages that liked the object".
The first link says /{page-id}/likes will return outgoing likes for a page, whereas the second link suggests the same endpoint will return incoming likes. Testing it out in the Graph Explorer indicates that the 2nd link is true, which makes me wonder how I can access the outgoing likes described by the first link, as that is what I am interested in.
Am I misunderstanding something here? Thanks!

A: This is a bug in the Facebook documentation: https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/638061899718019/

A behemoth of gargantuan proportions ghosted by the Hippolyta. Delicate, opalescent, and many tendriled, the beast approached the vessel, and gently nudged it. Rai raised the ship to red alert as the vessel shook.

Tal'Ara jumped to her feet.
"Run a full scan on that thing and raise our shields," she said to an ensign at the helm.
She turned to the captain, "Have you seen anything like this before?"
Before Rai could respond, the beast opened a gaping maw ringed with rows of transparent teeth, and affixed itself, suctionlike, to the hull of the Hippolyta.
"Sir, it's draining our shields," said the bridge officer.
"It's too close for torpedoes. Charge disruptor banks and fire on my command," she ordered.

S&P 500 to rise another 8% through 2021-end

(Reuters) – A stellar U.S. corporate earnings season is expected to lift the by another 8% through the end of the year, analysts at Wells Fargo (NYSE:) said on Tuesday, implying a near 28% jump for the benchmark equities index in 2021. In raising his price target for the index to 4,825 points, Wells Fargo analyst Christopher Harvey said S&P 500 firms had so far seen their earnings per share forecasts raised by 21% "and the trend shows no sign of abating." With the second-quarter U.S. reporting season nearly completed, Refinitiv data shows that about 87% of S&P 500 companies have beaten analysts' profit expectations, the highest on record. The stunning rebound in corporate profits and a loose monetary policy by the Federal Reserve have helped Wall Street's main indexes hit new highs following the coronavirus-driven crash last year. The S&P 500 has more than doubled since its pandemic-lows in March 2020, although gains have recently been capped by fears the Fed could begin to taper its massive stimulus program sooner than expected. The index is up about 19% so far this year. "If and when the Fed does finally utter the T-word (taper), we would expect the market to take a step back," Harvey said in the note to clients. All eyes this week are on the Fed's annual Jackson Hole symposium this week. () UBS analysts also raised their S&P 500 targets for end-2021 to 4,600 from 4,500 and introduced an end-2022 target of 5,000 in a note published on Sunday.
Over the last 31 years, there have been nine instances where the S&P 500 rallied 10% in the first eight months of the year followed by an average 8.4% climb over the final four months, Wells Fargo analysts said. August and September have been the two weakest months of the year for equities over the last decade, they said.

Japan MOF to seek $275 billion for debt servicing for FY2022/23


Japanese judoka dominated the first day of the 2019 Paris Grand Slam, topping the opening day's medals table with four golds, one silver and two bronzes.
A fanatical home crowd had plenty to cheer about as French ace and national heroine Clarisse Agbegnenou thrilled them with a gold medal win for France after a titanic final clash that earned her our Woman of the Day title.
Triple world champion Agbegnenou faced Tina Trstenjak of Slovenia, the Olympic champion, in a battle of the titans, which was decided when Agbegnenou threw for a waza ari in golden score. A fantastic moment for the world's top female judoka.
Agbegnenou was presented her -63kg gold medal by the French Minister of Youth and Sports, Roxana Maracineanu.
Our Man of the Day was another triple World Champion, as three-time and reigning World Champion Naohisa Takato of Japan overcame 2015 World Champion Yeldos Smetov, countering the Kazakh for a waza ari in their -60kg gold medal contest.
Lord Sebastian Coe, President of the IAAF, awarded Takato with his gold.
Elsewhere, a superb footsweep from Ami Kondo brought Japan another gold, as Kosovo's Distria Krasniqi was felled in the final of the under 48 kilogram division.
On hand to award Kondo with her gold was another big VIP guest, Francesco Ricci Bitti, President of the Association of Summer Olympic International Federations.
In the men's division, there was a return to form for Japan's Soichi Hashimoto at under 73 kilograms as he took gold, scoring ippon against Mongolia's Tsogtbaatar Tsend-Ochir in the final.
Canada's World bronze medallist Christa Deguchi and her teammate and World Judo Masters bronze medallist Jessica Klimkait clashed in a tense all Canadian contest to decide the under 57 kilogram title.
With Klimkait on good form, Deguchi needed a win and got one with a waza ari in the dying seconds of the contest.
"In 2018 she won the Osaka Grand slam, so that made me very nervous. Before the final I saw I was against Jessica and that was a big match that I couldn't lose. There was so much pressure, but I'm glad I won. I'm happy," said Christa Deguchi in an interview.
A superb ippon from Moldova's Denis Vieru against Georgia's Vazha Margvelashvili earned him his first World Judo tour gold on one of the biggest stages.
Awarding Vieru with his under 66 kilogram gold medal was five-time Olympic gymnastics champion Nadia Comaneci.
Our Move of the Day also came at under 66 kilograms, as Israel's Baruch Shmailov stunned junior world champion Manuel Lombardo of Italy with a huge ippon.
The monster move helped give Shmailov a well deserved bronze medal to treasure.

That's a Wrap for AIFF
April 20, 2017 April 20, 2017 Hannah JonesAshland, Community, Entertainment, Featured, Movies, News
Ashland wrapped up it's 16th annual nationally ranked, independent film festival. The Ashland Independent Film Festival (AIFF) ran from Thursday, April 6 through Monday, April 10 at a variety of venues throughout the city.
This ever expanding film festival which was ranked in the top 25 "coolest film festivals in the world" by Movie Maker Magazine just last year runs on the support of around 400 volunteers and many passionate film makers. Wendy Connor, the Director of Operations and Senior Programmer, attributes a great deal of its success to the many volunteers. This AIFF veteran of ten years started out as a volunteer for the festival before becoming one of two full time, year round staff.
Connor insisted that putting together these five days of film is a year-long process that includes traveling to other festivals and screening the close to 900 submissions in order to select a mere 90 films to include. The climactic moment of the year, of course is the festival itself. Then, after the festival there will be a wrap and debrief, before the process begins all over again.
While the process is grueling, Connor has a number of reasons she has stayed with the festival so long.
"All year long you're working and you're tearing your hair out and it's a lot of long hours, but to see all these people sitting in an audience appreciating the work and having these filmmakers come here and say this is awesome it just makes it all worthwhile."
Connor communicates in depth with the many film makers. " They know our reputation," she said, "there are over 4000 film festivals in North America alone it's rare that a film festival is quote unquote 'in business' as long as we are for 16 years. It's because of the reputation of programming that we have. We pride ourselves in being a filmmaker's film festival."
One of the managers on duty, or MODs, for the Varsity theatre location Kathy Carter echoed this sentiment. "I think what I like most about being involved is that we are known as a festival for treating the filmmakers just incredibly well," Carter said. "What filmmakers love about this film festival is that they get so much real interaction with people who really love film."
Daniel Raim who directed the film Harold and Lillian: a Hollywood Love Story explained that "festivals are an amazing place for filmmakers and people in the industry to make new friends." His producer, Nancy Kalish Beiderman, continued, "Every festival is really different. Ashland is very well programmed. Not every festival is as well programmed as Ashland is. I also think that the hospitality is really extraordinary, so those two things make a reallygood festival."
"Organization is key and acknowledgement is key," said Connor. "I'm a really big believer in appreciating our volunteers acknowledging them, making sure they're productive when they're on duty and feeling the love. That really makes a big difference."

Walls of glass blur the distinction between indoors and outdoors as the natural beauty of the wooded landscape complements the interior design. Sunfilled, generous spaces flow seamlessly, including the recently renovated cook's kitchen which opens to a dining room stepping down to the fireplaced living room.
A floating staircase of striped woods takes you to the second level featuring an ensuite master bedroom with a walk-in closet and private deck, as well as three spacious bedrooms and two baths.

Wage/Working is a community-based art project by Tennessee Watson and Laura Hadden that uses oral history to address the issue of income inequality and the concept of wage through a time-based audio installation.
Stories and audio from workers are gathered and edited to a length which corresponds with the amount of time it takes the worker to earn $1. Once edited, these stories are used to create an album (one for each worker) that is then placed inside of a jukebox. The jukebox is hosted in public spaces throughout the community where residents are invited to interact with the jukebox, listen to the stories, and reflect on the working lives of residents as well as the impact of income inequality on their local community.
United Noshes is a 194-part dinner party series, featuring a meal for each member of the United Nations. It is a collaboration between Jesse Friedman and Laura Hadden.

Visiting Alexandria, Ontario: With its Main Street Dominated by a Conspicuous Spire

On a hill and higher
[NB: Among the many notable buildings which are the subject of these hubpages, these may include religious buildings, described as churches, etc.; these descriptions centre on the buildings' architectural and historical interest.]
At Main Street, at Alexandria, North Glengarry Township, Ontario, the built environment is dominated by a highly conspicuous spire. The spire belongs to the Paroisse de Sacré-Coeur building, founded in 1910.
Other features of the building at 225 Main Street South include strongly neo-Gothic characteristics such as pointed window arches, pinnacles and flying buttresses. A corner property, its main entrance is at the Main Street elevation.
Other church spires which significantly affect Alexandria skyline include those at St. Finnan's Cathedral at 70 St Paul Street and at Alexandria United Church, at 36 Kincardine Street East.
It is probably fair to say that, while St Finnan's Cathedral is a larger building, the fact that the Paroisse de Sacré-Coeur church building is on Main Street and being near the top of a hill makes its spire the most conspicuous one, that many visitors to Alexandria will likely see first.
Interestingly, Alexandria was formerly known as Priest's Mills. Whereas the former name was identifiable as Anglophone, it is perhaps noteworthy to think also that the current name is not visibly identified exclusively with either the Anglophone or Francophone communities (1).
Alexandria, in North Glengarry, is located in Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry United Counties, Ontario. Locally at Alexandria, the population is about 50% Francophone. (I have supplied a picture, below, of the Franco-Ontarian flag.) While the authorities like to publicize that the local area is "where Ontario began" — which is indeed the case, with the original influx of United Empire Loyalists at the time of the American Revolution — yet some localities such as Alexandria are a reminder also the area is also traditionally part of French Canada. When one realizes this, it is evident that eastern Ontario is thus a fascinating blend of historical and cultural influences.
(1) There is also Alexandria Bay on the not too distant St. Lawrence River, although this locality is in Upstate New York.

St Raphael's Church Ruins (distance: approx. 14 kilometres); the ruins of this former church building are a National Historic Site of Canada and a visitor attraction; they date from 1821. (See: https://saintraphaelsruins.com/ )
How to get there: Alexandria lies on Ontario County Road 34, between Highways 401 and 417. Air Canada flies to Montreal (Aéroport international Pierre-Elliott-Trudeau de Montréal; distance from Alexandria: 89 kilometres) from Toronto-Pearson, and from New York-Newark and New York-La Guardia, with wide connections. A number of car rental companies offer service at Montreal-Trudeau airport. Air Canada flies from various North American destinations to Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport / Aéroport international Macdonald-Cartier d'Ottawa (distance from Alexandria: 103.2 kilometres); car rental is available. Please note that some facilities may be withdrawn, without notice. For up to date information, please check with the airline or your travel agent.

The thing about tattoos is they're inked on your skin for life, unless you want to undergo an expensive, time-consuming, and potentially scarring laser-removal process. But now, a tattoo-removal cream could be the destroyer of a thousand unwanted lower-back butterflies and a saving grace for their owners.
Falkenham's topical cream works by targeting the macrophages that have remained at the site of the tattoo. New macrophages move in to consume the previously pigment-filled macrophages and then migrate to the lymph nodes, eventually taking all the dye with them.
Falkenham is still testing the cream on tattooed pigs, not humans, so he's not sure how long it'll take to remove tattoos completely. But I'm hoping that if I get a tattoo now, by the time my fickle heart rejects it, the cream'll be available. The estimated cost per ten-by-ten centimeter application is 4.5 (Canadian!) cents, so even if it takes a month of daily treatments, it'll still likely be way cheaper than other removal options.

No. 1 Texans, No. 3 Lady Texans combine for eight event titles Saturday in Lubbock
LUBBOCK — The South Plains College men's and women's track and field teams capped their final regular season meet on Saturday as they combined for eight event titles at the 2018 Texas Tech Masked Rider Open at the Terry & Linda Fuller Track and Field Complex on the campus of Texas Tech University.
"Across the board, we executed well," South Plains head coach Erik Vance said. "If we execute and do what we're supposed to do I like our chances at nationals. We have to stay aggressive and be smart in how we go about things and if we do that we're going to be tough to beat. We have everyone qualified that we can have, and I'd put our squad up against anybody."
Freshman Markim Felix got the afternoon rolling for the top-ranked Texans with a first-place finish in the men's javelin with a throw of 250' 3". The Texans picked up their second event title in the men's triple jump as sophomore All-American Fabian Edoki soared 50' 10.25" on his second attempt. Edoki also won the men's long jump event title with a mark of 25' 8" on his third attempt.
Sophomore All-American Felix Kosgei will head into the national meet on a high note after placing first in the men's 3000-meter steeplechase on Saturday with a time of 9:44.07. Kosgei was joined in the top three by teammate Jesse Madrid who crossed the line at 9:51.99 to take third overall. The Texans placed a pair of sprinters in the top six in the men's 400 hurdles as William Watson clocked a 52.51 to take fourth and Myles Scott ran a 52.94, good enough for sixth.
"Markim is a special athlete and he came in with a personal best a little past what he threw today," Vance said. "He's been out the past couple weeks and our main concern with him being as good as he is is keeping him healthy so we have him at the national meet. He's a very special thrower and he has the opportunity to do some great things with us and after he moves on from us."
Watson would follow up by winning the men's 110-meter hurdles with a time of 13.82, while Mason Weh took second for South Plains with a 13.83. Freshman Andrew Bosquez picked up another event title for the orange and blue with a first-place finish in the men's 5000 meters thanks to a time of 14:58.95. In the men's 400 meters, South Plains' Junior Charles turned in a time of 46.83 to take fourth on the afternoon, while Montel Hood clocked a 47.42 to take sixth. Amarillo native Jordan Atkinson earned a third-place finish in the men's 200 meters as the second-year sprinter finished with a time of 21.01.
The third-ranked Lady Texans also impressed on Saturday as sophomore Jannia Price began the afternoon with a third-place finish in the women's discus with a mark of 145' 1". Freshman Ruth Usoro tallied the first event title for the Lady Texans in the women's long jump, setting a new personal best with a mark of 20' 3.75" on her fifth attempt.
In the women's pole vault, Kodee Scott, a freshman from Olney, Texas placed third with a clearance of 10' 0" on her third attempt. Freshman Jelena Rowe would go on to take second for the Lady Texans in the women's high jump with a final mark of 6' 0.5". Sophomore long-distance specialist Leslie Romero was business as usual, turning in a time of 11:40.26 in the women's 3000-meter steeplechase to take second for the Lady Texans.
In the women's 5000 meters, Lubbock native Caitlyn Mercer earned a second place finish with a time of 19:34.52. Amarillo native Seselia Dala would follow up with a fifth-place finish in the women's 800 meters clocking a time of 2:19.65. Natassha McDonald picked up the second event title for the Lady Texans with a first-place finish in the women's 400 meters with a time of 53.86. Usoro would follow up with a third-place finish in the women's 200 meters turning in a time of 24.14.
With the regular season in the rearview, South Plains will shift their focus to the 2018 NJCAA Div. I Outdoor National Championships May 17-19 at the BG Products Veterans Sports Complex in El Dorado, Kansas. The Texans will be vowing for their 12th consecutive outdoor national championship.

$20 billion ITER fusion facility reaches halfway point for construction in France

The world's biggest and most expensive nuclear fusion research project, known as ITER, says it's halfway done with the construction effort leading to the startup of its seven-story-high reactor in 2025.
ITER's ambition to demonstrate a sustained fusion reaction that produces a net gain in energy is matched by the estimated cost, which exceeds $20 billion.
The 35-nation consortium began construction a decade ago, under an unusual arrangement that calls for the various countries to contribute components for the reactor taking shape at Cadarache in southern France. The United States is responsible for 9 percent of the total cost.
"ITER" originally stood for International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor, but now project leaders prefer to characterize the name as a Latin word meaning "The Way" — that is, the way to the world's energy future.
Today, ITER Director-General Bernard Bigot declared that the construction work has passed the halfway point on the timeline leading to "first plasma," when deuterium and tritium are to be heated to high temperature in the reactor's giant tokamak chamber.
During a visit to Washington, D.C., Bigot expressed concern that the United States was cutting back on its budgeted contributions to ITER. He noted that the amount went from a planned $105 million in 2017 to $50 million, and that the budget for 2018 anticipated a cut from $120 million to $63 million.
"If the U.S. does not provide the necessary funds in 2018, then there will be an impact on the entire project," he told Reuters.
Bigot said the Trump administration was reconsidering the funding issue, with a decision coming as early as this week.
Fusion is the reaction that powers the sun, involving the combination of hydrogen nuclei under conditions of high pressure and high temperature. When the nuclei combine, that creates one helium nucleus and converts a smidgen of extra mass directly into energy.
ITER is pursuing a path to fusion power that's relatively low-risk but high-cost, known as magnetic confinement fusion. Atoms of deuterium and tritium, two isotopes of hydrogen, will be heated into a plasma while being squeezed by super-strong magnetic fields in a doughnut-shaped chamber.
"First plasma" is scheduled for 2025, but ITER says it could take 10 more years to reach full-power operation. Even then, the reactor isn't likely to produce power for commercial use. Instead, the insights gained during ITER's experiments are expected to help engineers design and build commercially viable fusion power plants.
In parallel with ITER, several privately funded ventures are pursuing lower-cost, higher-risk avenues to controlled fusion, with a potentially quicker reward (or failure).
A Canadian company called General Fusion has won backing from Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos. California-based TAE Technologies, meanwhile, counts Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen as an investor. Another fusion company, Helion Energy, is headquartered in Redmond, Wash., and has attracted funding from PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel.

Tidy Gardens By Jane: Rain ?
wonderful photography we had a "spit" of rain this afternoon but it was nothing really we need rain and lots of it.
Oh, that doesn't sound good. We had a horrible drought here last year. It was not fun, or pretty. I hope your drought ends soon.


Not too long ago we've been rounding up the business trends we're expecting for the rest of 2016. To support remedy that I've put with each other a short list of 3 examples that collectively embody all of the internet style trends I've pointed out in this post. Unless folks all of a sudden get started throwing away their iPhones and tablets, responsive design and style is here to stay. Over the next 12 months internet style trends will evolve from this to focus on responsive web design, incorporating video and establishing emotional connections by way of storytelling. I feel we are most likely to see even a lot more imitation of Google's 'Material Design' fill the void, considering the fact that the majority of the style neighborhood likes to adhere to and at present, this is the most talked about style. To match to the smaller screens of mobile devices, designers adopt the vertical patterns and scrolling has won over clicking.
For 2015 I except to see far more and far more web-sites and applications (native, mobile or web) that will use lovely transitions and animation to enhance user knowledge. A bigger leaning toward mobile – with some considering mobile site visitors could equal desktop targeted traffic this year – suggests more websites are getting made with vertical user flows. This can be some thing as simple as subtle animation on scrollas noticed in the iPhone6 page, to anything that tends to make your buyer go wow when they fill in the password – as observed on IMHO we will be seeing a lot a lot more of that in 2015. It was initial popularized by Pinterest but it's not a new issue on the net design scene.
They are notoriously difficult to do well so you are going to see several poorly executed examples utilised in common graphic style applications. Meaning that web-sites leaning heavily on typographic style tended to call for bigger budgets-leaving the smaller guys (and most WordPress customers) out of the entertaining. Prototyping designs in the browser is becoming needed and I am already seeing less dependability on programs likes Photoshop as a net design and style tool.
This trend is all about moving forward with the smartphones, which has turn out to be the 1st preference for accessing the web. As the mobile web continues to grow and internet style continues to skew in the direction of a much more efficient and enjoyable mobile experience, scrolling will continue to dominate clicking.
We will see extra original custom net fonts in 2015 as majority of designers were currently applying fonts like Proxima Nova, Open Sans, Source Sans, Futura but now the price of web fonts has decreased and became extra obtainable, we will see diverse internet fonts being employed in UI along with font pairing.

Laboratory ultrapure water purification systems for domestic use have drawn significant attention over the past few years. This can be related to the improvement of public health and concern for water contamination.
The aim of this study was to evaluate whether home water purification systems eliminate the essential materials such as fluoride besides filtrating the heavy ions and other unwanted particles out of water.
Materials and Method
In this experimental study, six most frequently used commercial brands of water purifiers were evaluated and compared. Specimens were collected right before and after setting up the device, and 6 months later. Then, spectrophotometry (the Harrison device) was performed to compare fluoride clearance by each home water cleaner device.
Based on the data collected from all water purification devices in different locations, the amount of fluoride was significantly different before and right after using home water purifier and six months later (p= 0.001 and p= 0.00, respectively).
The filtration of water significantly decreased its fluoride concentration. The fluoride content of purified super series iltrapure water system was approximately as much as zero in some cases.
Fluoride is a natural element branched from Fluorine. This element can be found in all sorts of water and soil. Out of every kilogram of outer layer of earth, 0.3 gram is fluoride. Mineral waters have more amount of this element compared to other sources.(1)
About 60 years ago, Grand Rapids in Michigan State was the first city in which fluoride supplement was synthetically added to tap water. In US, adding fluoride to community water supplies of many cities has improved the oral health of millions of American citizens.(2)
Fluoridation of community water supplies is adding a specific amount of fluoride (0.7-1.2 ppm) to water in order to reduce the risk of dental caries. By 2002, almost 170 million Americans were provided with this privilege.(3)
Since most of the systemic fluoride is provided through tap water to population, many policies have been established to add fluoride to community water regarding its benefits for teeth and bones.(4)
In regions and countries that do not have water-fluoridation technology, there are natural supplements as previously mentioned. For example, Iran has many mineral water supplies that contain considerable amounts of fluoride. Amount of fluoride in natural mineral waters depends on weather conditions; the warmer the weather is, the higher the amount of fluoride can be detected. Mineral waters in southern regions that have warmer weather contain more fluoride. In Iran, the highest amount of fluoride has been found in southeast and northeast areas.
Water purification systems for domestic use have drawn much of attention over the past few years. This can be related to improvement of public health and concerns for water contamination. There are several types of home laboratory reverse osmosis water purification systems that can be categorized into 3 different groups(5) as filtered systems, systems using UV irradiation, and ion-exchange systems.
The aim of this study was to find out whether domestic laboratory deionized water purification systems could eliminate the essential materials such as fluoride besides filtrating the heavy ions and other unwanted particles out of water.
In this study, 6 frequently used commercial brands of water purifiers in Ahwaz were compared. The commercial brands evaluated in the current study were CCK (Ceramic and Ceramic/Carbon Cartridges ; RTX-TS DLM filters, Korea), Soft Water (Ceramic Candles; Alpine TJ Series filters, W9332420, USA), Alkusar (Special media cartridges filters; PRB50-IN, USA), Puricom (Special media cartridges filters; Watts 4.5" x 10" Dual Housing, Korea), Water Safe (Granular Carbon Cartridges filters; LCV (Lead, Cysts, VOC's) (Carbon Block Filter Cartridges, Australia), and Aquafresh (Sediment String-Wound; Poly Spun and Pleated Washable Cartridges filters, K5520, USA). The main drinking dura pro series ultrapure water system supply for Ahwaz is provided by governmental companies. After making arrangement with certain companies that supported these brands, the devices were setup in 6 different regions of Ahwaz. Samples were collected before and right after setting up the device. To reduce the errors and elevate the accuracy of the module, 5 samples were taken from each device. Another sample was collected from each single device 6 months later. A total of 64 samples were collected including 32 unfiltered (control) and 32 filtered samples of tap water (experimental) from 6 regions in Ahwaz. Fluoride sampling kits (Spands; EW-99574-08Hach? Test Kits, USA) were used to test the amount of fluoride in sample waters. Samples were all collected in polyethylene sampling containers and were then coded. Spectrophotometry (AvaSpec-ULS2048L- USB2 UARS spectrometer, USA) was performed. In order to measure the characteristics of individual molecules, a mass spectrometer converted them to ions so that they could be moved about and manipulated by external electric and magnetic fields.
Atmospheric pressure was around 760 torr (mm of mercury). The pressure under which ions may be handled is roughly 10-5 to 10-8 torr (less than a billionth of an atmosphere). By varying the strength of the magnetic field, ions of different mass can be focused progressively on a detector fixed at the end of a curved tube and also under a high vacuum.
Latin alphabetic words were used to code each commercial device. Numbers were used for samples obtained before and after setting the device.(6)
The present article gives a review about water purification, filtration techniques and technologies that are practiced till date. Purification of water is mainly focused because of a sensitive reason that it is one of the essential sources of survival for all living beings. Water is found in many forms on the earth's surface, large amount of drinking water is from lakes and rivers. All living beings need drinking water but human beings need them to be drunk in a purified manner with rich in minerals and salts. Pure water refers to absence of bacteria and disease causing microorganisms, dissolved metal ions and heavy impurities. To gain the whole usefulness of drinking water, it should be not only pure but also healthy. Healthy water refers to presence of nutrients such as minerals and salts that are required to the human body for functioning of body organs like heart, kidneys and blood circulation freely throughout the body. All the technologies had tried to make water pure but not healthy. This makes a lot of difference in life cycle before and after drinking only pure water for a longer period. Some technologies for purification of water chose harmful polymers and dreadful chemical compositions. The then technologies updated and entered into the nanotechnology and polymers for water purification and filtration. Reverse Osmosis is base for any purification process that uses semi permeable membrane which contains ultra, micro and nano porous membranes which removes bacteria and microbes as well as minerals and salts. This RO processed water may cause illness on consuming for a long time continuously. Hence some fiber composites and mineral cartridges were introduced to overcome to add minerals and salts to water. All these techniques adopted for purification of water and usage of fiber composites, polymer membranes are reviewed in this article with defects in them that might cause a lot of damage to mankind.

Conversations: Fitter Not Fatter
Former Executive: I don't understand what you sent me.
Data Scientist: It's the studies on fitness at work making more productive employees
FE: I don't understand.
DS: They're not accurate.
FE: Why is this relevant?
DS: It's because your presentation relies on similar studies.
FE: We have nothing to do with fitness.
DS: I want to show you why those studies are useless. So let's start with this - do you agree that fitter employees are more productive, happier, and engaged at work?
FE: Sure.
DS: Studies would say that's a pretty good position to take.
FE: And you're going to tell me why that's wrong?
DS: I'm questioning the value of fitness. The argument is on average, fitter employees are more engaged, have more energy, take less sick days, and get more done.
FE: You just said fitter people get more done.
DS: I did. But that's so you don't bring up the easiest anecdote - listing someone who was out of shape who was a great worker. I'm not taking that avenue. Instead, let's talk about 2nd grade teachers
FE: 2nd grade teachers.
DS: Yes. What is the value of a 2nd grade teacher being fit versus being fat?
FE: Where did fat come from?
DS: It makes the argument stronger. Fit means relatively healthy. Fat takes it to the extreme. A fat second grade teacher - how is she less productive than a fit 2nd grade teacher?
FE: Maybe in the way she engages the students.
DS: 2nd graders. Basic math - a little bit of writing, and coloring inside the lines.
FE: Fair enough.
DS: The level of work needed is finite. A pleasant demeanor is more important than enhanced productivity. As for sickness, it's actually cheaper for teachers to use their sick days, because teachers can bank sick hours. A substitute is cheaper because a teacher's sick time is more expensive than the time of the sub, and yet the material is still taught.
FE: Okay - so second grade teachers aren't more productive when they're fit.
DS: So there's one. How about minimum wage workers? Are they more productive? And before you ask, let's say that physical jobs clearly require some level of fitness. If you don't have to lift 50 pounds over your head, are you more productive with 6% body fat?
FE: Sure you are.
DS: No one has ever done that study, but it's cute you think that. What's the biggest cost in minimum wage workers?
FE: I don't know. Benefits? Heathcare?
DS: That's true as a category. It's not true individually, and age has much more to do with it than weight. The correct answer is scheduling and turnover. It's expensive to hire and train. Losing people creates hardship that causes more turnover. A fit worker can get more done, but what happens when you can get more done?
FE: You want a raise.
DS: You want a raise or a better job. In a very perverse way, being fit and intelligent for a minimum wage job makes you less attractive to the employer.
FE: That seems doubtful.
DS: Would you hire a Harvard grad with supermodel looks to work in your warehouse?
FE: Sure I would.
DS: Would you hire them if you trained them for a month and really, really needed them to stay?
DS: If you were traveling to Italy, and needed them to work for six months on the job because you weren't going to be home - would you hire them, train them, and just leave assuming they would keep the job? And you're paying them shit wages.
FE: Depends on why they were available.
DS: ...
FE: Okay, probably not.
DS: We don't talk about it much, but you hire people for their longevity. You wouldn't hire a sales manager with 3 month stints at five companies, and you wouldn't hire a CFO whose tenure only lasted a year. When it comes to many jobs, you hire people with less options because they stick around.
FE: That is a terrible view of hiring.
DS: It doesn't have to be conscious, but it is a feature of the system. "Why do you want this job" and "Where do you see yourself in five years" both address this question.
FE: What does this have to do with 6% body fat?
DS: First, don't be sexist. It's very difficult for women to get to 6% body fat.
FE: Those were your numbers.
DS: It was the context. Speaking of which - we've addressed minimum wage and we've addressed teachers. So we can both agree that there categories of workers where fit vs fat is not only relevant, it can be detrimental.
FE: With exceptions, but yes, there are categories of workers who don't fit that model.
DS: Then without going into every category, we can say there are probably other categories, where it is not true, but the studies we have don't break down performance by category.
FE: They don't.
DS: They rely on averages.
FE: Yes. On average, a fit worker costs less and does more than a fat worker.
DS: So an average company, hiring average workers...
FE: No, no - you're going with average workers - and then saying above averages companies don't do this. An above average company would hire more fit people because, on average, more fit equals more productive.
DS: One, that's ageist. More fit, on average, is code for younger. And when you have a study that says younger people are better, it's almost entirely a function of searching for ways to justify lower wages. Second, the data does not support your conclusion. You can't create an average of workforce performance and then claim the benefits. That's not how data science.
FE: Then why do they do the studies?
DS: It's the only data they have, and it supports a narrative that lowers wages because fitness is code for younger.
FE: That...that is a huge leap.
DS: It's not that big. It's part of another pattern we see in terms of HR data. Whenever you use averages to create policy, you can be assured that the data is shallow, and does not reflect the real world. You should never make policy decisions on human beings based on averages of performance. They have no value but to support a narrative.
FE: Who exactly is creating the narrative?
DS: That's another discussion. I don't want to get into Joseph Campbell, but every story has to support an existing power structure. Studies using averages of human behavior and performance by definition support the existing power structure. They are blunt tools pushed by the uninformed as a way to create a scientific justification for their behavior.
FE: Okay - I'm going to go. It's an interesting point, but I think it goes off the rails at the end.
DS: Maybe. Doesn't mean it isn't true.
FE: What do you weigh these days?

On Monday's Today Programme David Bennett, a market trader, said that after his housing benefit had been cut, he lives on £53 per week. The next interviewee was Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith, who was defending the changes. The interviewer then asked him if he could live on this amount. He replied: "If I had to, I would."
This petition calls on Iain Duncan Smith to live on this budget for at least one year. This would help realise the conservative party`s current mantra that "We are all in this together".
