Lost Inheritance
Quote: But if the past is any prelude, inheritors, especially those who are new to the family-windfall phenomenon, face an unpleasant reality: They're likely to blow it. Although it's not widely discussed, financial advisers say that new riches prove particularly hard to hold onto—and even harder to patiently nurture and grow. Indeed, research shows that family money rarely survives the transfer for long, with 70 percent evaporated by the end of the second generation. By the end of the third? Ninety percent. Hence the old saw, "Shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations."
The most obvious reason, of course, is that money gets spread thinly over fast-growing family trees. But wealth managers also say many people are simply inexperienced at handling large piles of dough in any disciplined way—think of the so-called sudden-wealth syndrome experienced by lottery winners and many professional athletes. Another common trend advisers see? A belief among some inheritors that, hey, it's permanent vacation time, and there's no need to create any new income streams. "There's a mentality that something will come from somewhere," says Stacy Allred, director of the wealth structuring group at Merrill Lynch Private Banking and Investment Group, which has $130 billion under management.
The 3 reasons families lose their money:
1. Dad marries a shit wife who raises shit daughters, who do not appreciate the Dad nor his hard work nor understand how to make money. They spend way too much and when inheritance time comes the shitty women make sure to take more than their fair share. Since the women aren't the ones who carry the family line, the family suffers because the men are left without.
2. Crazy sons go nuts with the money, and get into drugs/gambling/partying far too much, and blow everything on risky business ventures or stocks or bad business ideas.
3. Catastrophe. Bad luck happens.
If you notice, of these three reasons, 1 + 2 are both preventable with good parenting. But, it seems that good parenting is one of those forgotten arts. It takes a good wife, which means you need a good understanding of woman's psychology, and a good understanding of children's psychology to build a successful family.

Why should any one of you get mad if he does lots of "bad" things and gets away with it? He may seem like a douchebag or whatever, but evidently he doesn't care about people getting mad at him, so why bother getting angry?

I don't get the hate in this thread. He's worth a shit-ton of money and he's making the most of it. Heck, I'd probably do the same if I had the money he did (wouldn't post everything on Instagram though).

I've been needing some inspiration lately and I have to say this guy inspires me in some ways. I've always been a gambler, had some crazy life/health mishaps, rock the beard, and I like his don't give a fuck attitude and some of his priorities (having fun, girls, fitness). Say what you will about his instagram-whoring and his inherited wealth (not sure how much he got anyway, as his dad got into some legal trouble and he had to bail him out), but I like this dude. This is his interview on Howard Stern (maybe this was posted elsewhere, didn't see it though).

Funny that you just resurrected this thread. The NY Post had a helluva a writeup on the fella today. Made the online edition of the paper's front page. Worth a read:
Meet the playboy millionaire blowing up Instagram - NY Post
Dan Bilzerian, the poker-playing multimillionaire, has become famous for blowout bashes that easily rival Playboy Mansion bacchanals.
Revelers pile into Bilzerian's 31,000-square-foot Bel Air, Calif., compound, where, he told The Post, "clothing is always optional."
When the bachelor, 37, isn't at home in California, he's often at his luxe pad in Las Vegas, or snowboarding with Olympian Shaun White in New Zealand, or partying with friends in Tahiti or Ibiza, or racing dune buggies in the desert, or yachting around Italy's Pontine Islands. One Instagram post shows him visiting Shanghai, China, "for no reason at all."
In August, he and his brother flew to their ancestral homeland of Armenia, an adventure that ended when neighboring Azerbaijan issued an arrest warrant for Bilzerian — something to do with allegations that he obtained grenades illegally and "demonstratively" shot off missile launchers at a gun range.
It's a high-flying lifestyle that's earned him some 24.5 million followers on Instagram, where he shows off his world with no shame — even as critics say he objectifies and exploits the bikini-clad (or -less) women who pose for his photos. In March 2017, he created an uproar by posting a picture of himself relaxing in a hot tub and using a topless, bent-over female as a dinner table. "It's national women's day, be thankful," he wrote.
It certainly didn't help things when, in January, he wrote: "This #metoo s–t is getting out of control, guys getting their lives ruined over touching a girl's back or hitting on someone."
Female attendees wishing to attend Bilzerian's bashes must abide by his door policy: "If you come with ugly chicks, you won't get in; I keep the parties exclusive and it becomes a matter of there being only so much space." And yet, some women will go to almost any length to party with him.
"They'll text pictures of their [bare butts] and for sure offer to hook up with me," he said. "I get that a lot."
Caitlin O'Connor, 28, is an actress and frequent attendee at Bilzerian's bashes. "I've been to parties where girls are walking around naked," she said, likening Bilzerian to a modern day Hugh Hefner. "There are threesomes, foursomes, everybody doing what they want without pressure. These things happen naturally in Dan's habitat. The girls there are all super-hot. They're all 10s. You need to bring something to the table."
She insists she and the other women at his parties are in no way exploited, or at least not in any way they don't wish to be: "It feels empowering to be young and without judgment."
Bilzerian hit public consciousness around a decade ago as a high-stakes poker player with a penchant for posting his larger-than-life exploits on then- nascent social-media sites. One ridiculous bit, viewable on YouTube, had him test-driving a bulletproof vest by shooting at his pal Antonio Esfandiari. (The vest worked.)
When Instagram exploded, so did Bilzerian's money-spewing jet-setting reputation. Then again, he had something of a head start. The son of uber-wealthy corporate raider Paul Bilzerian, he grew up in a Tampa, Fla., lakefront mansion with an indoor basketball court. But things came crashing down in 1989 when his father, who had made a fortune from hostile bids on companies such as Hammermill Paper, was found guilty of stock and tax fraud and served 13 months in prison.
"Basically, I didn't get a lot of attention as a kid," Dan told the Daily Mail in 2013. "I guess that's why I'm such a flashy lunatic."
Following high school, he washed out after 510 days of Navy SEAL training and failed to graduate from the University of Florida. Instead, the trust-funder turned to poker, first playing online and then bringing as much as $100,000 to games in Nevada. He claims to have won $50 million between 2013 and 2014, eventually investing a good chunk of money in cryptocurrency.
Along the way, he developed a knack for engaging others with his tales of excess — gambling, girls, high-powered weapons and fast cars — and came to embody an aspirational lifestyle for macho bro strivers. It's memorialized in a song by T-Pain and Lil Yachty that includes the line: "I get 10 Brazilians like I'm Dan Bilzerian."
Dan also has a talent for dropping names and numbers, lacing his Facebook posts with photos of six-figure stacks of poker chips and him posing with stars such as Tom Hardy at the "Venom" premiere.
Bilzerian's latest shindig was the launch of Ignite Cannabis, touted as the world's first international legal-weed company, for which he is both the face and the chairman. The event attracted an estimated 1,500 guests, was budgeted at some $500,000 (including $25,000 for sushi) and featured the mask-wearing DJ Marshmallow.
As for whether or not the DJ hooked up with anyone at the party, "I'm not going to speak to that," Bilzerian said with a laugh. "But any celebrity who comes to my house and wants to get laid is going to get laid."
Bold-face names who've partied at Bilzerian's pleasure pad include actors Adrian Grenier, Vin Diesel and Chris Brown, "The Hangover" director Todd Phillips and rapper Ludacris.
As for female guests, they're less likely to be household names. "Honestly," said Bilzerian, "I try to stay away from the famous chicks and LA girls in general. I personally prefer girls from the Midwest. They're more appreciative. They haven't been on 50 private jets and been to Dubai every three weeks."
Abby Rao, a cosmetologist from Mandeville, La., accepted her first Bilzerian invitation last month. "I was a little out of my element," admitted the 21-year-old, whose attendance at the Ignite party extended from her desire to be a spokesmodel for the company. "I'm from a small town, so it was a bit of a culture shock. There were a lot of gorgeous girls, a lot of people free with their bodies. Dan and I connected that night and I held my own [among the other women]. I went back a week later, just to hang out. Now I'm moving to LA."
She should probably brace herself.
"I once saw midgets [having sex with] two girls in the bathroom," said Bilzerian of one of his house parties. "Then [another] girl began filming it and one of the girls got mad. She started a fistfight with the one who was filming them. I had to throw both girls out. After that, a midget was smoking cigarettes in the middle of my living room. I had to throw his ass out. Cigarettes are f–king disgusting. You can smoke weed in my house but not cigarettes."
To make sure guests stay in line, Bilzerian's events tend to be seeded with security. At his bash for Ignite, there were 35 guards with rifles and machine guns. "If anybody was going to f–k with this party, there was going to be a gunfight," he said. "Last time I had a party, some a–hole pulled a gun at the gate . . . We didn't have 35 guys with long guns at the time. Now that is the policy."
Though most people wouldn't be all that comfortable around enough firepower to overtake an embassy, Bilzerian is no stranger to guns. He's got an extensive weapons collection (mostly stashed in Las Vegas, where firearm laws are lax; his least expensive gun, he says, goes for $5,000) and has been known to put together Mojave Desert jaunts designed around bringing junker cars onto the sand and shooting them up with heavy artillery. At one such outing in 2014, he blew up a tractor-trailer — which resulted in allegations by Nevada authorities that he detonated a homemade bomb.
Arrested and briefly held, Bilzerian settled for misdemeanor charges (failing to extinguish a fire in the open), paid a fine and agreed to appear in a public-service announcement. In the video, which is viewable on YouTube, he deadpans, "Be responsible with guns and exploding targets. Jail? Let's not do that again."
One hazard of hanging with Bilzerian is that sometimes guests might be too wasted to even attend the shoot-'em-ups.
"I accidentally ate two big weed cookies at Dan's house in Vegas and was high for three days," remembered O'Connor. "We were about to go to the desert to shoot guns but I was so high that I needed to get a room. Dan hooked me up with one at the Hard Rock. Dan always hooks it up."
While other people's most outrageous experiences at Bilzerian's digs would be something sexual, this does not hold true for the host.
"I don't think it's outrageous to hook up with a bunch of chicks; that happens all the time; it's common," he said. "Something out of the ordinary is that I got bit by an alligator at one of my parties. A friend of mine was there, a guy they call the Real Tarzan. He's into exotic animals and brought over an alligator. We don't sedate the animals or tape their mouths shut, which looks lame. I had alligators in Florida but this [one] was a little quicker than they were. I tried to catch him [but] he whipped around, bit me and left a scar on my leg."
He previously kept a pair of goats, named Zeus and Beatrice, at his California home, although they are now living on a farm; Bilzerian can be seen on his Instagram posing with a pizza-eating monkey on his shoulder. "We've had almost everything [at my house]" he added.
"Giraffe, snakes, monitor lizards, etc."
In case that fails to keep guests entertained, he's got a 16-foot-deep pool in Vegas, is building a paint ball field there and keeps a four-lane bowling alley in the Bel Air home. "We have had girls bowling naked and that didn't help," Bilzerian said. "They were just as bad as when they have clothes on."
Off the lanes, he's changed some of his breakneck partying ways, including the cocaine-and-Viagra binges that led to him suffering two back-to-back heart attacks at 25; then there was the pulmonary embolism in 2011. He's also slowed down his alcohol consumption. "I don't like anything that makes you feel like s–t the next morning," said Bilzerian, who, in 2016, acknowledged taking "d–k-enlargement pills, HGH [and] testosterone."
For now, however, Bilzerian — who has had two serious girlfriends in recent years, Playboy Playmate Jessa Hinton and model Sofia Bevarly — has no itch to tone down his sex life or settle down with one woman.
"[Hugh Hefner] was a legend and we view relationships in a similar way: monogamy is not natural for guys," he said.
But even Instagram's biggest party dude experiences his share of ennui. "For me [when it comes to sex], it's more about quality than numbers," Bilzerian said. "If I just want to [have sex with] a ton of girls, I can probably [do that with] 20 girls. I don't want to hook up with a girl unless I feel that I will want to hook up with her again."
Besides, he added, "If there are too many girls, it becomes distracting . . . It's not as cool as everyone thinks."

All the girls look plastic-boring, and dead in eyes from being fucked too many times
I don't know about you guys, but a little innocence and idealism in a girl is very attractive, and these girls look as jaded and drugged up as any. They're in pain.
The great thing about sex with multiple women is that you feel you are in some way contributing to their lives by offering them a little bit of you, your wisdom, and your love, however short it may be. I would want most of the girls I sleep with to enventually marry and be healthy mothers. Contribute positively to their lives.
These girls are empty hedonism and a path to a life of excess, drugs, and meaninglessness.
There is a much more romantic and idealized way to be a playboy, balanced out with your growth as a person, rather than with your degeneracy.

Not gonna lie. Would love to live this guy's life for a while.
I'm not sure that he's apex alpha, though. Maybe my definition is different to the norm, but for me, "alpha" denotes a leader. The guy everyone looks to for leadership. The guy you trust in a foxhole, or when the chips are down. To outsiders they are vicious and ruthless, but if you're in their circle, they have your back.
These men have appeared since time immemorial since we started roving in small groups, stalking prey or rivals for food and resources in the African savannah. Men like Achilles in the Iliad. Julius Caesar. Lord Nelson. Napoleon. In business, men like Onassis.
Organised crime is probably one the few areas where alphas thrive in this day and age. The heads of bikie gangs, Triads, or someone like Tony Soprano. I've met a few of these guys, and there is a kind of electricity that surrounds them. The reason they stay alive, and rise to the top, is that people just want to be around them. They have smarts, charisma and balls.
While this guy has a great lifestyle, it just seems to me to be empty. How many parties are enough before you get sick of them? How many whores can you fuck before you get sick of them? And make no mistake, these women ARE whores. I urge everyone looking at his life with envy to drop a few grand on an expensive hotel suite, 2-3 high class call girls, and some viagra and coke (but for fuck sake, don't do both at the same time). It's not that hard.
The guy just seems like an empty vessel. A fame junkie, looking for the next dopamine hit.

That's my thought. I'd take that life maybe 2 years, then it would be "what am I accomplishing here. Do any of these people actually care about me" etc
I can't really imagine life without work or struggle. If he is fulfilled by that life, good for him. It would be a blast for a few years.

I get what you're saying. Some of the chicks are maybe just a notch better than some of the stripper whores I found myself surrounded by during a past phase when I hung out a bit too often in the titty bars. A lifestyle that attracts whores (obviously) looking for quick cash often to score drugs & just get by for another relatively empty day. Many of them were friends with rather unsavory characters too lol.

Wise words there though. Parties, new notches, it's good to get that out of your system but it will become less interesting. At that point, you can focus on your real mission or use your experience to actually be able to pick the right girl.

Good vibes & well wishes usually yield good vibes back in my experience. Safe to say that most of us on this site stand up for Dan Bilzerian's right to party hardy. Even with all his money, clout & stature, he has to be cautious about these #MeToo hater / SJW types. There might be sharks waiting in the water to exact revenge on the guy in the future.


Cyber bullying, particularly in children, is making headlines all over the world.
• Do not allow children to use internet, before they understand digital safety.
• Help young children choose 'kid friendly' search engines and sites.
• Put necessary parental blocks.
• Children do not need to be on social media, and expert recommend them not to be until they are 12 years.
• For teens, be their friend in need. Keep your communication lines open – talk proactively about cyber safety and assure that they can always come to you should there be any problem.
• And finally: Be there!
Would you leave your child alone in a strange, crowded place which you know has all kinds of people, including the bad ones? Most parents say, no way.
Remember: Internet is that huge, unknown, crowded and confusing place with some bad people out there. Ensure your child is not wandering alone on the internet.


Diabetes Mellitus is present when there is too much glucose in the blood. Insulin is a hormone that lowers glucose levels in the blood. Glucose (a form of sugar) is the main source of fuel for our bodies.
It comes from foods containing carbohydrate. Diabetes Mellitus develops when the pancreas (the organ responsible for producing insulin) is either unable to make insulin, or the insulin is unable to work effectively or both. Without insulin doing its job, glucose builds up in the blood leading to high blood glucose levels causing health problems.
This type of diabetes used to be called Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus or Juvenile Onset Diabetes. It usually occurs in people under 30 years, but can occur at any age. Type 1 diabetes affects approximately 5 per cent of people with diabetes.
In Type 1 diabetes, the pancreas produces no insulin because the cells which make insulin have been destroyed by the immune system. Therefore people with type 1 diabetes require insulin injections to control their blood glucose levels.
This type of diabetes used to be called Non-Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus or Maturity Onset Diabetes. It usually occurs in people who are over the age of 40 years and have a family history of diabetes; people are often overweight and inactive, although there are some exceptions.
Type 2 diabetes affects approximately 95 per cent of people with diabetes. Being overweight makes insulin less efficient at controlling blood glucose levels. This is often referred to as insulin resistance.
Type 2 diabetes often responds to a healthy eating plan, appropriate exercise and weight reduction; but sometimes tablets and then later, insulin may be required.
Have had diabetes in pregnancy.
What are the key signs and symptoms of diabetes?
To keep blood glucose levels as close to normal as possible (fasting blood sugar from 80 to 120 mg% & PP Blood Sugar from 120 to 160mg%). This will help prevent the short term effects of high and low blood glucose levels and long term complications which can affect the eyes, kidneys and/or nerves.

Jobs boost for Limerick – 60 new software jobs via ACI investment
by John Kennedy
Limerick woke up to the good news this morning that ACI Worldwide Inc is to create 60 new jobs with the expansion of its Software Development Centre in the city.
The investment by the NASDAQ-listed payments technology company is supported by the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation through IDA Ireland.
Tony Scotto, the executive vice-president of development for ACI, said the company made the decision to expand its Limerick facility in recognition of the success of its existing software development centre.
"This expansion is in response to our growing need to attract more top talent in order to meet the global demand for our products and services," Scotto said. "Ireland offers a pro-business environment and a strong calibre of technology professionals to enable us to grow our business."
ACI's expansion of its Limerick facility will involve the increase of its headcount in software development. Recruitment for the new jobs is already under way and details of the positions can be found online.

Invent. Impact. Inspire.
Dare to make a difference
We are more than just a place to work
"ICT is a key part of the Government's plans for jobs and growth, and in the time since we took office a total of more than 11,000 additional people are at work in this sector," Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Richard Bruton, TD, said.
"Today's announcement that ACI Worldwide, a major international player in this sector, is expanding its operations in Limerick with the creation of 60 new jobs is great news for the region and for the sector. I am determined to ensure that, with continued strong implementation of the Action Plan for Jobs, we can see further investment in this sector to create the jobs we need," Bruton added.
Barry O'Leary, CEO of IDA Ireland, said today's announcement further enhances Ireland's broad cluster of payment-related companies.
"It underlines our continuing ability to attract high-value investments from leading companies in the software development and business services space," O'Leary said.

The United Nations (UN) office in Zimbabwe has expressed its commitment to supporting the economic recovery initiatives being spearheaded by the new political administration under the leadership of President Emmerson Mnangagwa.
Speaking at the ongoing Zimbabwe International Trade Fair (ZITF), Tafadzwa Mwale, the Officer-in-charge of the United Nations Information Centre (UNIC) hailed the new leadership's commitment towards social cohesion and peace; economic recovery and job creation; improved quality delivery of social services; firm stance on anti-corruption; accelerated reform efforts, including in the public sector; human security; credible, transparent and peaceful elections in 2018; and re-engagement with the international community.
"The UN reconfirms its commitment to supporting Zimbabwe to advance sustainable, rights-based and inclusive development for all and strongly supports the new Government's commitment and efforts towards re-engagement with the International Financial Institutions (IFIs).
"The UN System commits to scale-up its joint support to national efforts. In so doing, the UN remains committed to the principle of national ownership and leadership, under the overarching collective commitment to leaving no one behind, with a special focus on the most vulnerable populations, particularly children, youth, girls and women," Mwale said.
She said the Zimbabwe United Nations Development Assitance Framework (ZUNDAF) guides the UN support.
The ZUNDAF is the UN's strategic programme framework to support inclusive growth and sustainable development in Zimbabwe. The current ZUNDAF programme cycle covers five years, 2016-2020, with planned budget of $1, 6 billion. The ZUNDAF is developed with the Government and in consultation with national and international stakeholders including NGOs, Civil Society Organisations and development partners.
The current ZUNDAF (2016-2020) incorporates principles of disaster risk reduction, recovery and development. The ZUNDAF delivered USD 812 million in development grants from the beginning of 2016 up to 31 December 2017, making Zimbabwe amongst the top-10 largest UN development portfolios globally.
The UN focuses its support on enhancing the foundations and national capacities in a number of areas.
On one hand is the food and nutrition security sector with a focus on policy and action frameworks for enabling agricultural productivity and production as well as resilience building of vulnerable labour-endowed communities and targeted food and nutrition assistance for communities affected by the effects of climate change – such as recurrent droughts and flooding.
Ton promote gender equality, the UN supports the establishment of laws, policies and frameworks to ensure women's empowerment, gender equality and equity.
To address HIV and AIDS, the UN is focusing on universal access to HIV prevention, treatment, care and support.
In pursuit of poverty reduction and promoting value the thrust is on economic management and pro-poor development; decent employment opportunities; resilience building of vulnerable labour-endowed communities and generation and utilisation of data.
The UN promotes justice and rule of law; peace building; accountability; human rights and people's participation in democratic processes and also focuses on improved access to and utilisation of quality and equitable education, health, nutrition, water and sanitation, and social protection services.
"The ZUNDAF has played a significant role in maintaining the provision of basic social services including education, health and the strengthening of national institutions to provide adequate public service.
"Given the key human development challenges of poverty, job creation, gender disparity and gaps in health, education and HIV related services, as well as climate change and adaptation, the underlying need to strengthen institutional capacity to address these issues with focus on delivering results have been the priority for the United Nations System in the ZUNDAF implementation process," Mwale said.
The UN System remains committed to the principle of national ownership and leadership, under the overarching collective commitment to leaving no one behind, with a special focus on the most vulnerable populations, particularly children, youth, girls and women.
Godfrey Koti, the Head of Corporate Affairs of the Zimbabwe Tourism Authority (ZTA) thanked the UN for creating a conducive environment for accelerated economic recovery and inclusive growth, towards socio-economic and gender equality.
"The UN has been doing a great job in strengthening effective and accountable public-sector institutions to enhance quality social service delivery through increasing participation of all citizens, especially women, in democratic processes and promotion of human rights; and strengthening national and local capacity for accelerated implementation and monitoring of Zimbabwe's commitment to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)," Koti said.

We Are Still Here Afghan Women on Courage, Freedom, and the Fight to Be Heard
Nahid Shahalimi — 2022
A collection of first-hand accounts from courageous Afghan women who refuse to be silenced in the face of the Taliban. After decades of significant progress, the prospects of women and girls in Afghanistan are once again dependent on radical Islamists who reject gender equality. When the United States announced the end of their twenty-year occupation and the Taliban seized control of the country on August 15, 2021, a steep regression of social, political, and economic freedoms for women in the country began. But just because a brutal regime has taken over doesn't mean Afghan women will stand by while their rights are stripped away. In We Are Still Here, artist and activist Nahid Shahalimi compiles the voices of thirteen powerful, insightful, and influential Afghan women who have worked as politicians, journalists, scientists, filmmakers, artists, coders, musicians, and more. As they reflect on their country's past, stories of their own upbringing and the ways they have been able to empower girls and women over the past two decades emerge. They report on the fear and pain caused by the impending loss of their homeland, but, above all, on what many girls and women in Afghanistan have already lost: freedom, self-determination, and joy. The result is an arresting book that issues an appeal to remember Afghan girls and women and to show solidarity with them. Like us, they have a right to freedom and dignity, and together we must fight for their place in the free world because Afghanistan is only geographically distant. Extremist ideas know no limits.


A combination of negative credit headlines and a change in investor expectations regarding future US interest rates has resulted in a significant increase in volatility in the US loan market in what traditionally are slow weeks around the Thanksgiving holidays and pre-Christmas period.
While the US loan market does not appear to have suffered the same amount of stress as it did in late 2015 and early 2016, we believe there are meaningful similarities between the two periods.
Bank loan investors are predominantly long-term, closed-ended vehicles such as collateralised loan obligations ("CLOs"). Since August 2012, long-term, non-mark-to-market capital provided by CLOs has represented between 41% and 51% of the US loan market. Open-ended loan funds and ETFs have accounted for between 12% and 23% of the market during the same period(1).
Despite their small relative size, open-ended funds and ETFs have the potential to represent a large percentage of trading volumes at times of volatility because of the shorter-term nature of their investors. This means that they can have an outsized impact on average US loan prices.
December 2015 saw unusually high outflows of $5.9 billion from loan funds and ETFs(2) and continuing outflows in H1-2016 saw their share of the US loan market reach a 5-year low of 12% by June 2016(3). US loan prices fell to an average low of 89.3c in February 2016, although as can be seen from the chart below, this was largely driven by loans to borrowers in the energy sector which fell to an average price of 48.3c(4). As it is also evident in Figure 1, the US loan market recovered quickly.
Loan fund outflows in November 2018 reached $4.1 billion(5), the largest monthly selling volume since December 2015. Outflows continued in December reaching another weekly record of $3.3 billion for the week ended 19 December 2018(6). Bloomberg reported that daily volumes for the Invesco Senior Loan ETF reached 29 million shares on 20 November 2018 (Thanksgiving week), a record trading day for the fund (8x 5-year average daily volume), resulting in the largest discount to NAV in the history of the ETF(7).
Current average US loan prices, however, seem to indicate a lack of forced selling or stress when compared with early 2016 (average US loan price of 94.6c on 20 December 2018 compared to 89.3c on 25 February 2016(8)). A more detailed analysis shows that once we exclude the energy sector, trading levels are reasonably close in both years. Looking only at higher-quality BB-rated loans (Figure 2), the 20 December 2018 average closing price of 96.1c was actually lower than the 96.4c average price on 11 February 2016.
The bank loan market has an unusual investor base, with a majority of long-term investors relatively insensitive to mark-to-market movements, and a minority of short-term retail-driven open-ended funds and ETFs. We believe that recent, extreme, outflows from open-ended funds have been driven by sentiment or non-fundamental reasons such as changes in interest rate expectations or volatility in broader markets.
We believe that the current US loan market weakness is largely technically driven and is in fact similar to the volatility in early 2016, which proved to be relatively short-lived. This suggests that the US bank loan market may currently present attractive opportunities for investors.

Inner Armour Blue Hard Mass Gainer Review
Hard Mass Gainer is a new muscle and mass gainer by Inner Armour said to be a revolutionary muscle food for athletes and trainers.
Inner Armour Blue Hard Mass Gainer purportedly increases energy, promotes lean muscle mass development, accelerates recovery, reduces muscle soreness, and enhances immune system function.
It is designed to maintain an anabolic state. It prevents the body from breaking down proteins for energy by supplying sufficient amounts of protein and carbohydrates to replenish muscle stores.
I decided to see what the supplement community had to say about it.
Reviewers have mixed feelings about Hard Mass Gainer. Some people achieved gains and were satisfied, and others said they didn't finish the bag. Here is what some users are saying:
BryceBrah on SupplementReviews.co.nz says, "Gained like a beast when I was on this and unlike other mass gainers, it mixed well and the consistence was great. Pretty much impossible not to put on weight with this at 1277 calories per serve, I'd recommend it to anyone who considers themselves a hard gainer and doesn't mind putting on a bit of fat."
"The Double Chocolate flavor was crazy delicious," says KiwiDan. "Light and fluffy consistency, really smooth to drink too. 50 g of protein per serving plus added creatine. I think this brand is relatively well priced too."
"Tried one of these 15 lb bags of double chocolate," says BIgPoppaham. "To be honest, I couldn't wait to finish it." He explains that it didn't taste good and says all he noticed was excessive bloating. However, he does mention he put on some weight.
However, some users complain about the consistence being too thick. Two people review their experience with Hard Mass Gainer on YouTube under the handle MyGymProgression. "It is hard, hard to drink that is," says one of the YouTube reviewers. "It has a lot of amino acids, so that's good, a lot of thickness." The other reviewer in the video says the company wasted its time with the thickness. "Inner Armour is a no go."
What's Inside Hard Mass Gainer?
There are numerous ingredients in Hard Mass Gainer, including two proprietary blends and several amino acids. Unfortunately, proprietary blends make it impossible for users to find out individual ingredients and doses. Here are some of the ingredients:
Protein (50 g). Protein is listed as a main ingredient, although which types of proteins in this complex remains a mystery. Without this information, it is difficult to tell if this blend is effective.
Protein is important for repairing damaged muscles and reducing muscle soreness. [1]
In general, a recommended protein amount for healthy individuals is around .75 g/kg. However, athletes tend to require more protein to supplement their activities, so recommended amounts range from 1 – 2 g/kg. [1]
Considering some users take Hard Mass Gainer between meals and after work outs, there is enough to offer muscle-recovery benefits.
L-Glutamine (1000 mg). Glutamine strengthens the immune system and combats infections. Glutamine also protects gastrointestinal tract lining. [2]
L-glutamine is dose-dependent, but general doses range from 500 -1,500 mg daily. [2]
There is enough L-glutamine in Hard Mass Gainer to offer immune-boosting benefits.
However, some studies failed to find any evidence glutamine enhyances muscle performance, body composition, or muscle protein degradation in healthy athletes. [3] [4]
Carbohydrates (267 g). This blend contains Glycogain long and short chain complex carbohydrates. I was unable to find any clinical studies surrounding Glycogain. But, carbohydrates are important compounds for energy. [5]
One study indicates 112 g carbohydrate mixed with 40.7 g protein before and after a workout enhanced muscle glycogen-storage in 9 male cyclists. [6]
Carbohydrate content in Hard Mass Gainer should positively affect glycogen storage.
Branched-Chain Amino Acid Content
Hard Mass Gainer contains BCAAs like L-leucine (5.29 g), L-valine (1.51 g), and L-isoleucine (3 g). These amino acids in a 5 g BCAA mixture (Ile:Leu:Val 5 1:2.3:1.2) were shown to decrease muscle fatigue and reduce delayed-onset muscle soreness when mixed in a green tea powder. [7]
BCAA content in Hard Mass Gainer should offer similar recuperative benefits.
Creatine Monohydrate (4000 mg)
Creatine enhances energy by providing an extra phosphate. One website indicates a typical creatine dose is 20 g for 5 days followed by a maintenance dose of 2 g per day. [8]
There isn't enough creatine for a loading phase, but it may enhance energy with continual use.
Where to Purchase Hard Mass Gainer?
Hard Mass Gainer is not available for purchase through the official website. Users can purchase a 15 lb. bag from MuscleAndStrength.com for $49.88 or a 5 lb. bag for $19.99.
Hard Mass Gainer is available in Cookies & Cream, Double Chocolate, Fresh Strawberry, and Vanilla Cream.
One serving consists of 4 heaping scoops. The manufacturer recommends mixing 1 serving with 27 oz. of a preferred beverage between meals and immediately after intense exercise.
However, users have said they generally mix smaller amounts because of its thickness. Several third party retailers say the formula is highly concentrated and suggest taking half servings 2 or 3 times a day.
Is Hard Mass Gainer a Good Product?
Inner Armour Blue Hard Mass Gainer definitely covers its bases with its ingredient-rich formula. The ingredients are clinically proven to enhance protein synthesis and energy and reduce muscle fatigue. Although user reviews are mixed, even negative reviewers mention gainied a couple pounds while taking Hard Mass Gainer.
It is a little pricy, considering one bag contains 20 servings. But if you already spend money on supplements and are having a hard time making gains, I suggest trying it out.

Celebrating The Legacy of Jhulan Goswami On Her Birthday
Sameer Allana
Sports3 min read
A tall Indian pacer marking her run up, rams into the stumps and celebrates it with a fist pump. Only success feeds the appetite of aggression. There can never be enough words to describe Jhulan Goswami's tremendous contribution towards the Indian pace battery. The leading wicket-taker in One Dayers turns 36 today and still looks fit enough to play another World Cup.
The Beginning of a Legendary Career
In a country that follows cricket religiously, her aspirations to become a cricketer sparked up during the Women's World Cup final in 1997. Having witnessed her first women's cricket game as a ball girl at the Eden Gardens, Jhulan was keen to represent her nation some day. Who knew almost two decades later, she would be so close to winning a World Cup. Goswami was also the last woman standing for India in the 2005 World Cup final as the Aussies laid hands on their fifth World Cup.
It was not an easy journey for Gozzy. From the Vivekananda Park nets in Kolkata to stamping her authority as one of the most prominent bowlers in international cricket. Her grit and determination for the game can be witnessed every time she charges down towards the batter. Jhulan took up the game at a time when women's cricket hardly gained recognition. She went on to eclipse Cathryn Fitzpatrick to become the highest wicket-taker in One Day Internationals.
A Decorated International Career
While she entered the scene in 2002, it was only after 2005 that the right arm medium pacer became a force to reckon with. In India's maiden Test series win in England, Jhulan had overall match figures of 10/78, having picked a five-wicket haul in both innings. Height has always been her advantage but alongside that, her consistent line and lengths have continued to bamboozle the batters. Quite similar to her idol Glenn McGrath, someone she has idolised and watched closely growing up.
Becoming the first Indian woman to receive the ICC Player Of The Year award, that too from MS Dhoni. Someone she looked up to for inspiration, in her early days as a captain. She also went on to receive the Arjuna Award. In 2012, she was bestowed with India's fourth highest civilian honor – the Padma Shri by then President Pratibha Patil. However, the Chakdaha Express was left heartbroken last year after the 9 run loss in the World Cup final.
In a full house at Lords filled with a sea of blue, she bowled stupendously with figures of 3/28. However, the dream to win a World Cup continues to be unfulfilled. Doubling up as the mentor too, she would surely be proud to see such talent loading in the younger generation.
To have started from a time where Women's Cricket had less emphasis on watching it flourish, Jhulan Goswami oversaw a whole transition in the sport. She may not have been part of the WT20 campaign.
However, no one will be prouder of the girls for their fantastic performances more than her.

This ladies brooch, featuring 2 overlapping luckenboothes, is perfect for wearing on a shawl or sash. It's made from high quality lead free pewter and is hand cast here in the USA. The pewter used is a clean metal that polishes well and ages with grace. This brooch measures 2.75" in diameter.
This brooch measures 2.75" in diameter. It is made from high tin content, lead free pewter.
The luckenbooth brooch is probably the most romantic of the traditional Scottish brooches. Already a popular style by the mid 18th century, the crowned heart pins now known as luckenbooths took their name from the locked booths ("Luckenbooths" in Scots dialect) of Edinburgh. By the mid 1700's, the jewelers of Edinburgh were producing these brooches in such quantity that they constituted a definitive style. In Scotland, they given as lover's gifts and as good luck charms. Young men would often present the women they were courting with a luckenbooth brooch as a symbol of their affection. They were also a popular gift for brides and new mothers.By the early 1800's, it was acknowledged as a country tradition to pin a luckenbooth to a baby's blanket as a good luck charm for both the mother and the baby.

Q: Matching disambiguating data to existing duplicate records I have a table called transactions that has the ledger from a storefront. Let's say it looks like this, for simplicity:
trans_id | cust | date | num_items | cost
---------+------+------+-----------+------
   1     |  Joe | 4/18 |     6     | 14.83
   2     |  Sue | 4/19 |     3     |  8.30
   3     |  Ann | 4/19 |     1     |  2.28
   4     |  Joe | 4/19 |     4     | 17.32
   5     |  Sue | 4/19 |     3     |  8.30
   6     |  Lee | 4/19 |     2     |  9.55
   7     |  Ann | 4/20 |     1     |  2.28

For the credit card purchases, I subsequently get an electronic ledger that has the full timestamp. So I have a table called cctrans with date, time, cust, cost, and some other info. I want to add a column trans_id to the cctrans table, that references the transactions table.
The update statement for this is simple enough, except for one hitch: I have an 11 AM transaction from Sue on 4/19 for $8.30 and a 3 PM transaction from Sue on 4/19 for $8.30 that are the same in the transactions table except for the trans_id field. I don't really care which record of the cctrans table gets linked to trans_id 2 and which one gets linked to trans_id 5, but they can't both be assigned the same trans_id.
The question here is: How do I accomplish that (ideally in a way that also works when a customer makes the same purchase three or four times in a day)?
The best I have so far is to do:
UPDATE cctrans AS cc
SET trans_id = t.trans_id
WHERE cc.cust = t.cust AND cc.date = t.date AND cc.cost = t.cost

And then fix them one-by-one via manual inspection. But obviously that's not my preferred solution.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

One of the most unique stalks that I have found over the 15 years of making didges. That's saying a lot seeing that I have worked on close to 500 over that time period. I found this stalk growing between two rocks which caused the unique bulb and angle the stalk grew. Not only does it have a nice big bell but it also has really great dense wood that tapers to a very small opening with extremely easy overtones and hardly any breath to get droning.

Uber CEO Dara Krosrowshahi and ASU President Michael Crow explain why they have partnered to help make higher education more accessible to more learners.
Editor's note: Arizona State University and Uber announced a partnership Nov. 1 to offer ASU online courses at no cost to eligible Uber drivers.
There was a time when the idea of hailing a ride with your phone or earning a degree from your computer sounded like the stuff of sci-fi novels.
How we live, how we learn, how we work: It seems that almost every facet of our daily lives has been dramatically reshaped by advances in technology.
On balance, this has been for the better. Living standards are up. Literacy rates have never been higher. The world feels more connected than ever.
But for all the progress technology has brought, many still find it hard to get ahead. The data bears this out. As one study recently found, rates of intergenerational mobility have remained flat in the U.S. for decades.
The challenge for today's leaders in academia, business and government is to ensure the benefits of technological progress are felt by all. One critical place to make that happen is education.
There is broad agreement that educational attainment is the single strongest predictor of social mobility. Higher skills are in increasingly high demand. In the 1970s, fewer than 30 percent of jobs in the U.S. required more than a high school diploma. Today it's more than 60 percent. By 2020, two out of every three jobs will require some kind of post-high school certificate.
Yet for many, a higher education is out of reach. Cost is a major barrier. So is family background for too many students who question their own potential. Flexibility is an obstacle — or, put more accurately, the lack of it.
This is where Uber and ASU are determined to help.
Flexibility is foundational to our two enterprises. For Uber, this means being able to earn in ways that fit your schedule. For ASU, this means being able to learn in ways that fit your life. We believe there is an opportunity to bring the power of our platforms together to expand access to flexible work and flexible education, and opportunities that come with both.
Starting this month, we are partnering to connect eligible drivers to a high-quality, fully funded education through ASU online. Through this education partnership, people who drive with Uber can complete courses toward a degree or pursue non-degree certificate entrepreneurship or English as a Second Language courses via ASU's Continuing and Professional Education Program.
Drivers will also have the option to transfer this opportunity to their spouse, domestic partner, child, sibling, parent, legal guardian or dependent. The cost of tuition, be it for drivers or a member of their family, will be 100 percent covered.
Our partnership will start as a pilot available to drivers in eight U.S. cities, including Phoenix. In the near term, we plan to use this time to listen, learn and refine the program before rolling it out more broadly.
But even as we fine-tune our partnership, we are clear about our shared mission. In the years ahead, we hope to provide a model of how business and academia can leverage knowledge, technology and scale to help more people gain the skills they need to advance, serve their families and communities and contribute to the betterment of society.
Nobody knows what tomorrow holds. What we do know is that advances in technology will require us to think creatively and collectively about how we prepare people when tomorrow comes.
Yes, the world is changing fast. But working together, we can deliver a more inclusive future where everyone has the chance to get ahead.

The Real "St. Nicholas"
What do we really know about "St. Nicolas"? He was born to wealthy parents in the town of Patara, Turkey about 270 A.D. He was still young when his mother and father died and left him a fortune. His humility was immediately evident. As a teen ager he heard about a family destitute and starving. The father had no money for food to feed his three daughters. Under the cover of night Nicholas threw a bag of gold coins through the window of their humble dwelling, saving them from starvation.
Eventually, he became a bishop, and was destined to lead his congregation through the worst tribulation in church history. In A.D. 303, the Roman Emperor Diocletian ordered a brutal persecution of all Christians. Ordered to sacrifice to pagan gods, Nicholas and thousands of others refused. They were then dragged to prison. Believers were fed to wild animals, forced to fight gladiators for their lives, beaten and set aflame in Roman arenas. Yet the persecution could not stamp out Christianity. Instead, it spread like wildfire. Third Century leader Tertullian observed, "The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church." Finally, after years of imprisonment, Bishop Nicholas walked out of captivity, freed by decree of the new emperor Constantine. Those who survived Diocletian's torture chambers were called "saints" or "confessors" by the people. Nicholas was one of these. The bishop was beaten but not broken. He served Christ's people for another thirty years. Through the prayers of this tried and tested soldier of the faith, many found salvation and healing. Nicholas participated in the famous Council of Nicea in 324 A.D. He died on December 6, about A.D. 343, a living legend.
St. Nick of yuletide fame still carries faint reminders of this ancient man of God. The color of his outfit recollects the color of bishops' robes. "Making a list, checking it twice," probably recalls the old saint's lecture to children about good behavior. Gifts secretly brought on Christmas eve bring to mind his humble generosity to the three daughters.
Yet is he were alive today, this saint would humbly deflect attention from himself. No fur-trimmed hat and coat, no reindeer and sleigh or North Pole workshop. As he did in life centuries ago, Bishop Nicholas would point people to his Master. "I am Nicholas, a sinner," the old saint would say. "Nicholas, a servant of Jesus Christ."
The Only Strategy That Will Work
Abraham Lincoln, in one of his messages to the nation, spoke words of deep concern which have a contemporary ring to them:
"We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us, and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these things were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own….Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have a become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and persevering grace, too proud to pray to the God who made us."
I have found it amazing that of all the issues being addressed in Washington that affect our nation, the one both Republicans and Democrats agree on is this: our nation is in serious moral and ethical decline. There was a time, not very long ago, when you couldn't even get the subject of morals or ethics on the table for discussion, let alone have both parties in agreement on the bottom line. Such is the seriousness of the troubles that fill our streets with drive-by shootings and tax the abilities of our prison system simply to house the criminals we produce. What has gone wrong with our great "experiment in liberty"? Why has the land of the free and the home of the brave become the place of the polluted? Why are people in every city and hamlet from coast to coast afraid to go out alone at night? Mr. Lincoln had the answer to that. But it is more than a moral and ethical problem. As long as we continue to distance ourselves from any tendency toward respect, praise, obedience or commitment to the God who made our experiment in liberty possible, we will all end up becoming the slaves of our own greed, desire and arrogance. If we learn nothing else from the Old Testament, we can at least learn this: any nation that tried to make a go of it without God has ended up in the trash heap of history.
We will continue to hear more about morals and ethics from our leaders in Washington. Our hope is that Christians will be welcomed to this ongoing debate. But whether we are or are not listened to we must understand and live out the fact that morals and ethics do not stand alone. They proceed from the Spirit—a life of involvement with the God who made us all.
We have all heard that life is a journey. It even comes out in commercials. Nissan said, "life is a journey. Enjoy the ride." American Airlines had the opposite perspective: "We understand, it's not about the journey; it's about the destination." Another reacted with this line, "It's not about the journey or the destination; it's about what you do once you get there." Someone in the fashion industry said: "Life is not about journeys or destinations; it's about how you look while you are traveling."
Leonard Sweet writes: "The real meaning of life is not a journey question or an arrival question. It's a relationship question. Life is a handicap event. We cannot get to our destination without the help of others….We need relationships, guides, and guards who can help us on our journeys and be with us when we reach our destinations. Here's the real question: Will you be holding hands when you cross the finish line?"
Imagine a busload of tourists on their way to the Grand Canyon from the mid-west. On the long journey across the wheat fields of Kansas and through the spectacular mountains of Colorado the travelers inexplicably keep the shades down. Intent on the ultimate destination, they never bother to look outside. They spend their time arguing over such things as who has the best seat and who is taking too much time in the bathroom. The church can resemble such a bus. We must remember that the Bible has far more to say about how to live on the journey than about the ultimate destination.
I urge you to raise the shades in your life and look out the window on this journey to heaven. One of the ways you can do that is to connect with people and see the interesting and varied landscape of life through the eyes of others. God made us to need and benefit from other people. Let's all enrich ourselves and the lives of those around us by investing our time in building relationships.

A Visual Analysis of Albright's 'Into This World There Came a Soul Called Ida'
Updated on August 4, 2017
Joe Friedman
Ivan Albright's "Into This World There Came a Soul Called Ida"
When one encounters Ivan Albright's Into This World Came A Soul Called Ida, their initial reaction might be one of disgust. The portrait, a woman sitting on a chair at a vanity contemplating her reflection in a hand mirror, suggests the inevitable process of aging. The woman, Ida, is dressed in a style which for the time, the late 1920's, would have been deemed as risqué. She is dressed in an open silk over shirt covering a slip type undergarment which reveals she has no restriction in the form of a brassiere. Her patchwork skirt exposes a prodigious amount of her thigh lending to the presumption that Ida is a woman of loose morals.
Aside from Ida, the other entity in the portrait is the vanity she sits before. Upon the vanity sits a vase with flowers, and two crystal jars placed atop lace matting. In the forefront sit a comb, folded money, a container for her face powder, a lit cigarette, and a burnt match. The floor of the room she is in consists of worn and torn carpeting well past its prime, and littered with a variety of debris.
Albright uses Ida as a metaphor for life lending itself to death. She sits in a meager room, surrounded by her creature comforts, while in the background nothingness prevails. He paints the room to be almost at an angle pointing downward, slipping off into some mysterious abyss. While all is slipping away, Ida contemplates herself in the hand mirror with vacant eyes. The reflection she is met with is the inevitability of death, as that reflection has all the semblance of a corpse. While one hand powders her breast in an effort to preserve herself, the index finger on the hand holding the mirror intentionally points upwards toward heaven indicating that between the nothingness in the past behind her, or the abyss she is slipping into, she would prefer the alternative of heaven, should it present itself.
Ida sees herself as dead and clinging to life. Albright expresses this by painting her as a corpse in decomposition. The brightest colors he uses are red, blue and purple. Ida's skin is the color of death; it is ashen and pallid representing her very existence. "In religious symbolism, the color purple reflects pain and suffering" (Kohl), which is represented in Ida's blouse and gives the impression of a funeral bunting. "Red is Representative of fire and blood" (Kohl), which is only evident in patches on her skirt of "blue representing truth" (Kohl), and the worn carpet, as well as the powder puff she holds to her heart... The mirror she holds is black representing the death she sees in its reflection.
While everything else in the painting seems to signify death, or doom, the choice of lighting is interesting. It seems to be coming from above, although not from an electrical source, but from the heavens giving her image a certain aura about her which might signify the possibility of redemption or salvation. The lighting also draws Ida out towards the viewer in a sort of reverse perspective letting the viewer know that this is the main subject here at hand.
As Ida sits and contemplates her fate, behind her sit her life's simple comforts. This can also act as an anthropological biography of the woman herself. The three things closest to her are her cosmetic case, her comb, and her money. The comb and cosmetic case are indicative of her vain attempts at recapturing her youth and beauty, while the money represents the produce of those assets as indicated by its reflection on the compacts case.
On the left of the vanity sit a burnt out match and a smoldering cigarette. Her lipstick is on the cigarette giving it the identity of being hers. The match is the fire that lit that cigarette, now extinguished, as she feels her life is soon to be as well through her own neglect as represented by the cigarette forgotten and burning away into the wood of the vanity. In the background on the vanity sit three pieces of crystal, one vase with flowers, and two empty jars. Some superstitious beliefs relate crystal to having healing, calming, and aura cleansing powers. One can not be sure if it was Albright's intention to bring out any significance in this, or whether he just wanted to fill space with something.
In Guy Hubbard's Discussion of Ivan Albright's, Into the World There Came a Soul Called Ida, he states, "Albright's approach to painting was unique and so were his interpretations of his subjects and the objects surrounding them. He transformed whatever he saw in front of him into something quite different on canvas. He painted people and objects to suit his own thoughts and sometimes he altered them into what he wanted them to be. But he never put on canvas what he saw in front of him. His models and the objects surrounding them were there only as a point of departure for his own ideas. Nothing in his pictures was left to chance. He once wrote that 'Things are nothing. It's what happens to them that matters'" (Hubbard). Given this insight into the artist, one would have to presume that everything is there for a reason.
The two principles that stand out in this work are the texture, and perspective. Albright was known to be very meticulous in his detail. For paint he ground his own colors and used poppy seed oil to mix them, rather then the usual linseed oil. He was known to have used hundreds of different brushes for a project, some with as little as one hair on them for the finest depictions, such as the hair strands on Ida's comb. This is all evident in the texture of everything depicted in the painting, but none so much as the detail he paid to Ida's skin. The bulbous contour of her legs and face depict far more than the effects of aging alone. They in fact show the rotting decomposition ones body is resigned to in death. The layered patterns of the carpet, along with a tear in the fabric beneath the chair she sits on give the carpet a life of its own, defined, yet worn from time and abuse, much like the paintings subject herself. The texture of the vanity behind her is more of a matte. He gives no real definition to the outline of the lower drawers, there was nothing in there of any significance to the subject, but it works as a great backdrop for Ida's leg.
The matte of the vanity, the detailed carpet, empty black backdrop and the eerie feel to the lighting all combine in giving this work its perspective. While the intentional tilt towards the low right tries to lead the eye down and out of the painting, the angles of everything else represented in it draw the eye back in and up, as the main subject, Ida, sits in an unworldly illumination of her own, pulling her out towards the viewers eye.
As I stated earlier, on first impression, Ida might bring a feeling of disgust, although a host of other adjectives come to mind as well: Grotesque, macabre, monstrous, or ghastly just to name a few. But after closer inspection of the work, the inner beauty seeps out. The black backdrop works to bring Ida out to the viewer, as if to ask for forgiveness. The true genius in this work is the fact that Albright was able to take a young and pretty model, transform her into a hideous creation of his own mind, and then bring that creation to life.
The following is an excerpt from Susan S. Weininger's Ivan Albright in Context:
"Albright's image, on the other hand, does not posit everlasting life. Its pathos is located in the purely human dilemma it depicts. In 1960 the artist explained his interest in death and decay by asserting their legitimacy: "In any part of life you find something either growing or disintegrating. All life is strong and powerful, even in the process of dissolution. For me, beauty is a word without real meaning. But strength and power — they're what I'm after." In the poignancy and silent fortitude of Ida, Albright realized an image whose resonance and impact meet the challenge he set for himself."
Albright's intent was to show life for what it is; the precursor to death. He painted a portrait, not of a woman, but of existence, fleeting, and in its waning stage. He shows the void that is the empty past, the skewed representation of the present, and the reflection of what we all become. As the master of the macabre, he has achieved his purpose at every level, while still being able to leave the viewer with a humorous, though be it dark insight to the artists mind. One can only wonder what might be the outcome if he were to lock Ida and his picture of Dorian Grey alone in the same room overnight.

AKAIK yovu'e got the answer in one!
I have to agree, I really like how you went into detail with the facts about this artwork. For most, it really helped me in my essay for my hummanites class.
8 years ago from Chicago, Il
Thanks Raven! When I first saw the painting, I was mesmerized. The size of it, and the attention to detail amazed me. If you ever get a chance to visit the Art Institute in Chicago, be sure to look for it. They also have Albright's "Picture of Dorian Grey," and "The Door" there. I read some of your writing, and have a feeling you love them.

Q: Django: How to use handler500 to redirect to a frontend server page and also receive admin error email My question is very similar to this one, except my problem is that my frontend page is in another server, an Angular application.
Basically, what I need is to send a redirect response to my Angular frontend when user faces a 500 error, but also would like to receive admin e-mails with stack traces. This only happens when the response is a 500, not the 302 returned by the handler500 redirection.

A: you can basically send an email and then redirect the user to the URL
from django.shortcuts import redirect
def send_mail():
   ...

def handler500(request):
    send_mail_function()
    return redirect("http://external-site.com/")

You can follow this tutorial for email sending.

Germany's Cartel Office wants more time to consider a proposed merger of two of the country's biggest supermarket chains after being handed new information on the plans.
Tengelmann has failed to reap the fruits of its labor.
A decision on whether Germany's biggest supermarket operator can buy hundreds of stores from a rival has been delayed by the country's powerful competition watchdog.
Edeka announced last year that it wanted to take over 451 stores belonging to Kaiser's Tengelmann, a chain owned by the grocer Tengelmann, one of Germany's largest family businesses. It plans to buy the stores, located in Bavaria, Berlin and North Rhine Westphalia, by 30 June.
But the Cartel Office raised concerns that the deal would concentrate too many stores under one owner in a market already dominated by just a few major players.
On 3 December, the agency imposed an interim injunction on Edeka and Tengelmann to prevent them from implementing parts of the planned merger before it had finished an investigation.
A final decision was expected on 6 March, but on Friday the parties presented a more detailed explanations of their sale plans to the Cartel Office. It is thought that they made some sort of concessions, industry sources said.
As a result, the agency decided to delay its decision until 7 April to study the new information.
The German supermarket sector is already very concentrated. There are only a few major companies, such as Aldi, Rewe, Edeka and the Schwarz group which owns Lidl and Kaufland, and together, they already have an 85 percent share of the market.
At the moment, Edeka has a 26.9 percent share in the market, whereas Rewe, Edeka's main competitor, has 18.8 percent.
Alain Caparros, Rewe's chief executive, warned that the fusion of Edeka and Tengelmann would limit competitiveness.
"For reasons of competitiveness, it would be good if the difference in market share were diminished between Rewe and Edeka," he said.
Mr. Caparros had said that there are other investors who may have an interest in Tengelmann.
"I could imagine that Kaiser Tengelmann would be a good fit for the Swiss chain Migros," he told Reuters.
But other smaller supermarket chains may get the chance to buy Tengelmann too, according to industry sources. The Bünting group in Germany's northern Ostfriesland or Coop from Kiel may be interested in the ailing Tengelmann.
Tengelmann' chief executive, Karl-Erivan Haub, said in October last year that he sees no alternative for his ailing supermarket chain but to sell it. Tengelmann has been in the red for 15 years. All efforts to bring the company back into shape have failed. Its market share of only 0.6 percent is too small to remain competitive against big chains such as Edeka or Rewe.
