Imagine that you are a retailer who sells a variety of goods to consumers. Of course, you must first purchase your merchandise from the suppliers and manufacturers who sell the goods in the first place. Now according to normal business sense, you would say that it makes complete logical sense to sell it at a higher price than the purchasing price. That is how businesses make a profit. That is how they maintain a profit margin.
This seems understandable and something we can all agree upon. Now what if we told you that some retailers actually decide to sell their products at a lower price, thereby incurring a loss instead of a profit on the goods sold. You might find that hard to believe. "Why would any retailer sell at a loss?" This is actually a common practice employed in the retail business and you have most likely bought goods in this manner.
Loss leader pricing is the act of selling goods at a lower price than their purchasing cost, thereby effectively selling them without earning a direct profit. It might be puzzling as to how this business strategy makes sense. Luckily, this guide on loss leader pricing will solve that puzzle for you and clarify any questions you have on the subject matter.
We will explain the reasons for retailers implementing this sales and marketing strategy as well as the manner in which it is employed. We will also give examples of loss leader pricing to give you a better idea of this particular sales promotion strategy.
Before we describe the reasons and benefits of implementing loss leader pricing, we will formally define the term to make it clear for this entire report.
In addition to this definition, it is worthy to note that the product or service being sold below the market cost is called a loss leader. For instance, grocery stores and department stores use loss leader pricing to promote their goods, such as some fruits and vegetables, to get more customers to buy their other products on the shelves.
It gets customers to come through the door and see you vast selection of merchandise that you are offering that could intrigue customers. This is actually the ulterior motive for businesses to use loss leader pricing and enhance their profits on the other goods. While customers are at the store, they will see other profitable goods and be enticed into buying them.
Loss leader pricing is a very effective sales promotion technique to get more people to enter your store to buy more goods. When these customers purchase loss leaders, they are inherently saving money on buying goods. As they believe they are saving money, they can used this "saved money" to buy other things from your store that are priced much higher to make a profit.
This works in your favor as a retailer because you get to sell your loss leaders and the products that are set at a higher price. Ultimately, you make a profit by selling the goods.
These products are actually called loss leaders because they "lead" customers into buying other products from your store that are priced higher. Loss leaders play an integral role in a company's sales and marketing strategies. We have summarized some key advantages of the loss leader pricing method.
Increasing Sales – By offering selected products at a much lower price, you as the retailer can make profits on the goods that your buyers will purchase with their savings. You directly increase exposure on the loss leaders and you indirectly boost exposure on the leads. This will actually increase your sales.
Exposure to New Stores – A very good method to get customers into going to one of your new outlets is to offer goods at a very low price. The enticing prices you set will get more people to go there and your new outlet will flourish just as well as any of the other existing ones.
Clearing Inventory –When your outlet is about to receive a new stock of goods but you are still holding on to older goods on your shelves, you need to find a way to get rid of them. Loss leader pricing is a good way of quickly eliminating merchandise to make room for your new stock.
Marketing – Loss leader pricing is a great sales promotion strategy to quickly promote some new products by selling them temporarily at a very low price. This draws in more customers and helps spread the word about your retail store.
Although it is an amazing marketing strategy, loss leader pricing needs to be applied correctly in order to reap the benefits. Otherwise, you will only experience losses. Years and years of research have shown that product placement plays a key role in driving more sales.
Additionally, the type of products you set as loss leaders will determine how much money you actually earn as profits. Some products simply sell better than others do. That is where conducting market research on your consumer base is very important to realize exactly which products should be discounted and which ones should be sold at a higher price.
This is where the loss leaders need to be clearly defined in your store. They should be placed at the end of an aisle or at the back of the store, far away from the entrance. This forces customers to walk all the way to the end to actually get it. While you want to make the customer experience as easy as possible, you also want to expose them to other interesting products along the way. This is your opportunity to strategically place your leads in locations and arrange them in such a manner that attracts customers into buying them, too.
Make sure you assign the right product the title of loss leader. When an obscure, unpopular product has its priced drastically slashed, it may not catch everybody's attention. The product is not well known by everyone. However, if your loss lead is a common product that everyone buys regularly, you have a higher chance of people purchasing it. They are aware of the normal price and will instantly realize the sweet bargain they are getting with the price slashes you set on them. Therefore, loss leader pricing is usually a successful technique when it is performed on the right products.
There are certain times of the year, like in winter and in summer, where loss leader pricing is very effective and can drastically boost your sales. During Christmas, retailers generally provide sales on all goods but some are more discounted than others. When you badly need to clear some merchandise during the holiday season, make those goods your loss leaders. Everything else can be your leads.
As a result, you clear your inventory and sell more of your leads. The same can be applied in mid-summer sales to get rid of some goods that you do not want on the shelves in the upcoming colder seasons.
We do not want to paint this marketing strategy as a perfect method that has not drawbacks. Every marketing technique has some drawbacks that definitely need to be considered. Failure to consider the downsides of misusing or mishandling loss leader pricing can result in major losses with no returning profits whatsoever.
We have listed some of these problems below. We also gave you some details on the measures you can take to avert them to get the best out of this tactic.
Risk of Loss – Some companies have some loss leaders and some leads in their stores but they never analyze the sales of the products and pairings. This could lead to significant losses, as having products drastically discounted does not guarantee a boost in sales and an increase in profits. Always monitor and evaluate your sales on these goods and determine if you are satisfied with the results. If they are less than anticipated, then it is best to change things up and determine new loss leaders and leads for your retail store.
Cherry Pickers – One major problem that is closely associated with loss leader pricing is the presence of "cherry pickers", buyers who only buy the goods that are discounted but they never consider buying the other products that are you leads. Some buyers cherry pick the best deals when they go shopping. Hence, they are termed cherry pickers. This poses a serious problem to retailers because the regular priced items, your leads, are never being sold. In order to curtail this issue, restrictions are placed on the number of loss leads you can purchase at any given time.
Stockpiling – Another frequent problem of this marketing strategy is when customers purchase in bulk because they are getting a bargain for now. They want to cash in on the situation and they think that they do not have to buy it again in the near future. Just as with the problem with cherry pickers, retailers can curtail the quantity of goods bought by any given customer.
Possibility of Deception – If the goods are being sold at a discounted price for too long, then customers will start to think that the discounted price is the regular price. When you decide to discontinue the loss leader pricing scheme, then customers will instantly notice it and studies show that retailers experience a drop in sale. In order to prevent this issue, clearly state that the discount is limited time offer with a definite end date. As a result, your unit sales will not drop after you stop giving discounts.
You have a good idea of the basic concepts of loss leader pricing as a marketing strategy and how it can be used effectively to benefit retailers. Additionally, we would like to present some cases where loss leader pricing are used to generate more sales and increase customer base. This will help you see how beneficial it can be and perhaps you can implement it in your retail business in some manner.
Fruits and vegetables do not last forever. You refrigerator helps to extend their lifetime, but that is only by a few more days at best. In grocery stores, these goods are not even contained in a cold environment but they are stored in baskets and crates usually at room temperature. Eventually, fruits and vegetables will rot and because many people buy these goods based on their appearance, it becomes very difficult to sell them. This poses a major problem to grocery stores, as they need to get rid of their inventory to replace it with a new batch of perishable goods.
A typical technique that stores like Kroger, Costco, and Walmart use is to sell these products at a ridiculously low price, so low that is below the market cost. It may seem as if they are selling at a loss but in fact, they are actually making a sizeable profit on other goods. These supermarkets will strategically place these perishable groceries at the back of the store so that consumers walk through the entire store to get there, looking at other things along the way.
Supermarkets use this opportunity to promote other products (leads) that are similar to the goods being discounted (loss leaders) that may encourage a purchase in shoppers. As a result, the supermarket gets rid of their older goods and buyers will spend more money because they have saved money on some groceries and can use their savings on other things.
Did you ever notice why some goods, particularly milk, are always at the very end of a supermarket? It is a highly consumed product and several studies show that many people go into a grocery store just to buy a carton of milk. Many people open their fridge and realize they have some things but they are running out of milk.
Grocery stores successfully take advantage of this situation and slash the price of milk on several occasions while promoting other goods, too. Markets sell more milk (which quickly rot) and they sell other goods where they make their real profit. A win-win situation.
Loss leader pricing is commonly implemented in supermarkets and grocery stores. The example above clearly demonstrated that. Another instance of these stores using this marketing strategy is when they offer free samples of food to customers. We are sure that you have seen this before.
You are walking down the aisle at your local supermarket, looking for something to buy, and you see a salesperson standing by a stall offering shoppers free samples of some food. This is a good way to introduce customers to a new product during a soft launch. Besides receiving free samples, customers sometimes receive coupons that they can redeem on their subsequent purchase.
The reason why this method is effective is due to psychology. When you receive a free sample of a new product and are sweet-talked by the salesperson, you feel compelled to buy the product. While there will be some who just eat the free sample and walk away, they are heavily outnumbered by the number of people who taste a sample and then feel compelled to buy the actual product. Psychology plays a key role in selling goods and loss leader pricing plays with the buyers' psychology. They subconsciously feel obliged to buy the item after sampling it.
You give out a tiny amount of your product to customers for free but you can quickly move large amounts of it out of the store with this method. It effectively nets you more customers that you did not have before. This is a secondary effect of loss leader pricing by giving away samples – acquiring new consumers and keeping them.
Here is q quick introduction to the psychology of pricing.
If there is one time of the year, where shoppers look for the best deals on the marketplace, it is definitely the Friday after Thanksgiving. It is called Black Friday, the biggest and wildest shopping experience that originated in the US but has now spread throughout the world. Retail stores slash the prices on several of their products that customers are very familiar with.
Retailers, such as Walmart, K-mart, Toys R Us, and Best Buy, just to name a few, give promotional offers on selected things like toys, apparel, and electronics. There are instances where buyers can grab something at 50% off the usual price! That is a steal in everybody's eyes and they instantly run to the stores on Black Friday to buy something at their heart's content.
By saving so much money on selected goods, they feel like they can use their savings and spend it on something else in the store. This is where retailers make their money. You might think that stores incur a significant loss by selling all of these heavily discounted goods at a low price but to the contrary, they benefit greatly from this. Retail stores can clear inventory quickly during Black Friday and quickly sell new inventory with these massive reductions in price.
Likewise, another holiday takes place a couple of days after Black Friday that has the same intentions, only that it is conducted online. This event is called Cyber Monday and on this day, online retailers such as Amazon and EBay offer massive sales on several products. Many people are too busy enjoying Thanksgiving on Thursday and enjoy it until the weekend.
The only time they have to buy something is on the Monday after Thanksgiving. Hence, Cyber Monday began and online retailers took advantage of this. These retailers receive the same benefits as other ones do on Black Friday. Loss leader pricing works wonders when giving massive sales.
We primarily talked about brick and mortar stores until now, although in the previous example we briefly mentioned online stores. We would like to dive deeper with online retailers and the manner in which they implement loss leader pricing into their marketing strategy. E-commerce is a great place to employ loss leader pricing to attract customers to your website and generate traffic.
Amazon and EBay started the online business trend by offering users special discounts on selected goods. If you ever go to their sites, you will see landing pages or banners of promotional offers on some products. When you click on them and view the actual product, you will notice something else that entices many online customers. There is a section called "People also viewed" to attract customers to view other products that may not even be discounted.
Let us analyze this a little bit. The goods being promoted are the loss leaders because the online retailer wants to attract viewers into going through their website and see the goods. In doing so, the viewers will be exposed to other products, or leads, that are at a higher price but just as appealing. Typically, the leads are related to the loss leaders to get more people into viewing them and even buying them. This is a very good way of increasing sales.
Following the success of these tactics by Amazon and EBay, many brick and mortar stores decided to follow suit and create their own e-commerce solutions for buyers. Now major retailers like IKEA, H&M, and Best Buy have online stores using loss leader pricing as an effective strategy to entice more customers into buying goods online and increasing traffic to the site.
A very good example where loss leader pricing is very effective is when a retail chain opens a new outlet. Shoppers are used to frequenting a particular outlet of a brand because it is convenient for them. When a company decides to create a new outlet to reach new customers in different locations, it still wants to drive customers into coming from other locations to boost sales even higher.
For instance, consider Lidl, one of Germany's largest retail chain stores. They have plenty of outlets everywhere but they still plan to expand to other locations to acquire even more customers. In doing so, they are entering areas where their competitors exist. They have stiff competition because the consumers in that area are accustomed to the competitors, not to this new retailer.
This is where loss leader pricing comes into play. Lidl will offer crazy offers on selected goods, selling them at a much lower price than any of the competitors are currently doing on the market. In addition, Lidl will tell customers of their other nearby outlets that there are amazing deals available at the new outlet.
While it may be an inconvenience to drive all the way to a faraway outlet, people ultimately want to save as much money as they can. Retailers know this and capitalize on it. Next time you go to a new outlet of any store, take notice of the amount of special deals they give only at the new outlet. This is all done to drive more customers into their doors and get them to buy the loss leaders but more importantly, the leads.
A similar situation arises when a brand new company bursts onto the scene. In order to stand a chance against existing, well-established competitors, they need to shake things up and offer amazing deals on their products. A very good example of this was when OnePlus, a Chinese smartphone manufacturer, launched their flagship high-end phone, OnePlusOne, in 2014.
In that year, Apple and Samsung were the definitive market leaders with very large consumer bases. OnePlus made the decision to retail it at a staggering low price of $399, much lower than many of the other high-end models on the market that retailed for around $599. That is $200 dollars cheaper!
In doing so, OnePlus had a loss leader on their hands that attracted many customers who wanted to use a high-end flagship model but at the price of a mid-range model. They had that in the OnePlusOne. After the successful launch of this smartphone, OnePlus grew their customer base was able to generate more sales on their subsequent model, OnePlus 2, which was retailed at a higher price. They successfully created trust in their customers and generated sales to conduct more research on their future smartphones. This shows how loss leader pricing can be very effective for new companies, too.
We have all seen this before; it is nothing really new. Clothing retail stores give massive sales during the middle of the summer and in the holiday season to get more customers to buy their products, thereby raising sales. The other reason for giving these massive sales is to clear inventory. When the summer starts, stores stock up on summer clothes, like bikinis, shorts, and t-shirts, because it is the perfect season to wear them. By the middle of summer, retailers want to get rid of all of their merchandise to make way for the next batch of goods, i.e. winter clothing. Hence, stores like H&M and Zara slash the prices on their summer apparel to quickly sell them and clear space on the shelves.
Likewise, clothing retail stores stock up on winter clothes, such as coats, jackets, and scarves, to get more people into their store and buy them. When Christmas fast approaches, retailers give mega sales on many of their winter apparel because they want to boost their sales. Besides, winter will eventually end and retailers need to clear their stock of goods quickly before the impending summer season arrives. As a result, some stores even give more winter sale clearances well after Christmas.
Holding on to inventory is a major loss for clothing stores. For example, having leftover summer clothes in the winter season serves no purpose and simply wastes space in your warehouse. When that happens, you are unable to sell them because no one will buy them in the wrong season. By the time the next summer rolls in, you older clothes are out of season and the trends have changed.
Therefore, clothing retail stores do everything they can to sell their merchandise before the next season arrives. Even if they sell it at an extremely low price, it ultimately helps them by being able to sell the new merchandise at a regular price. This is how loss leader pricing is implemented in apparel stores.
We went through the key concepts of loss leader pricing, the manner in which it should be implemented to reap the biggest benefits, and the measures you should take to prevent any losses from this marketing strategy. If you are a retailer, you should definitely consider this strategy to clear your inventory of older merchandise and quickly boost your sales by using loss leaders to sell more leads.
We also presented some examples to help you visualize how loss leader pricing is implemented in various situations. We are sure that you have experienced some of them firsthand and are now aware of the entire process. As a retailer, you can now implement them in your own retail business to boost your sales. It is all about merchandising, particularly visual merchandising.

Hushpuppi's lawyer says FBI and the US Government kidnapped Hushpuppi from Dubai

Hushpuppi's Lawyer has accused the FBI of kidnapping his client, popular Nigerian Instagram star Ramon Olorunwa Abbas aka Ray Hushpuppi from Dubai without any legal proceedings.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) accuses 37-year-old Mr Abbas, of conspiring to launder hundreds of millions of dollars from frauds known as Business Email Compromise (BEC) and other scams.
READ: FULL Details of the case against HushPuppi as written by FBI Agent Andrew John Innocenti
Top Chicago criminal lawyer Gal Pissetzky who is Hushpuppi's lead counsel while speaking to BBC News argued that Hushpuppi was kidnapped in June in Dubai and then appeared in a Chicago court on 3 July. Meanwhile, the United Arab Emirates has no extradition treaty with the United States.
The Chicago defence lawyer's argument that Hushpuppi is a businessman who is into heavy real estate and was also paid by designer brands for promotion has set the stage for what promises to be a long trial in American courts.

According to Hushpuppi's lawyer;
The US had no authority to transport him from Dubai.
"In my opinion, the FBI and the government here acted illegally when they kidnapped him from Dubai without any legal process to do so," Mr Pissetzky told the BBC.
"There was no extradition, there were no legal steps taken, there were no court documents filed, it was simply a call to the FBI. He is not a citizen of the United States, the US had absolutely no authority to take him," his lawyer says.
When the BBC News reached out to US Department of Justice and questioned why the Dubai police said in a Facebook post that the FBI director had thanked them for extraditing the two men, a spokesman for the US Department of Justice replied the BBC that Hushpuppi was expelled from Dubai and was not extradited. He did not answer how he ended up in US custody.
"You'll have to ask them about why they called it an extradition," the US Department of Justice (DoJ) spokesman responded in an email.
But Hushpuppi's lawyer Mr Pissetzky is not convinced.
"If Dubai wanted to expel him, they should have expelled him back to Nigeria. I've never heard of anything like that. That is the real story here."
Meanwhile, Hushpuppi's lawyer has refused to discuss how he was getting paid for legal fees or the source of Hushpuppi's money.
Mr Pissetzky says the case could last several months, even longer than a year.

Stanislaus Stückgold (auch Stanisław, Stanislas, geboren 18. Mai 1868 in Warschau, Russisches Kaiserreich; gestorben 9. Januar 1933 in Paris) war ein polnisch-deutsch-französischer Maler.

Leben
Stückgold stammte aus einer jüdischen Kaufmannsfamilie in Warschau. Er studierte zunächst am Warschauer Polytechnikum und im Anschluss daran Chemie und Philosophie in Zürich und der Sorbonne in Paris. Nach seinem Wehrdienst in der russischen Armee war er als Assistent an einem staatlichen chemischen Laboratorium in Berlin und in Düsseldorf tätig. In Warschau wurde er Betriebsleiter einer Chemiefabrik. Er gründete ein freies technisches Büro und verzeichnete Patente in der Textilindustrie und in der Kesselfeuerung. Er war in London bei Eisenbahn- und Dampfschiffunternehmungen tätig sowie in Polen im Kohlebergbau.

1905/06 unterstützte Stückgold auf sozialistischer, nationalpolnischer und jüdischer Seite die Revolution in Polen (Bewegung der Freiheit gegen Russland). Er wurde mehrfach verhaftet und in Moskau und Petersburg inhaftiert. Nach Niederschlagung der Revolution gab er seine Tätigkeit als Ingenieur auf und begann ein Kunststudium in Warschau. Um einer Verschleppung nach Sibirien vorzukommen, floh er 1907 aus Polen nach München. Dort besuchte er die Malschule des Ungarn Simon Hollósy und im Sommer 1908 Hollósys Malerkolonie in Nagybánya, in Ungarn. In Nagybánya lernte er seine spätere Frau Elisabeth Veress kennen, mit der er ein schwerbehindertes Kind hatte.

Im Oktober 1908 zog Stückgold nach Paris und wurde Schüler von Henri Matisse. Er und seine Frau lebten seit Mitte Dezember in einem Wohnatelier in der Rue Notre-Dame-des-Champs. In dieser Zeit lernte er Henri Rousseau kennen, der in der nahegelegenen Rue Perrel wohnte. Im März 1909 stelle Stückgold erstmals im Salon des Indépendants aus.

1913 siedelten Stückgold und seine Frau nach München über und befreundeten sich mit Albert Steffen und anderen Anhängern der Anthroposophie und er trat in die Anthroposophische Gesellschaft ein. Marianne Werefkin vermittelte ihm bei Hans Goltz in München eine Ausstellung, und Herwarth Walden lud ihn zum Ersten Deutschen Herbstsalon nach Berlin ein. August Macke und Franz Marc hängten dort das auch im Katalog abgebildete Porträt der kleinen Judith Wolfskehl (Judith Köllhofer-Wolfskehl [1901–1983], Tochter von Karl Wolfskehl), sowie Stilleben in Blau und Ein Toilettentisch auf.

Stückgold eröffnete in München eine Malschule, die er bis 1921 führte. 1920 trennte sich das Ehepaar, Elisabeth zog mit Steffen nach Dornach zu Rudolf Steiner, und er war ab 1923 wieder in Paris, wo er bis 1926 nochmals eine Malschule führte. Nach seinem Tod zeigte André Salmon eine Retrospektive in der Galerie Bernheim-Jeune.

Stückgold malte in leuchtenden Farben Landschaften, Stillleben und die "Tierkreisbilder". Seine Porträts zeigen u. a. Martin Buber, Oskar Cohn Margot und Albert Einstein, Else Lasker-Schüler und Albert Steffen.

Rafael Nadal pulls out of Paris Masters; will lose No. 1 ranking
| Reporting from Paris
Rafael Nadal of Spain talks to media as he announces his withdraw from the Paris Masters. (Christophe Ena / Associated Press)
Returning from one injury to play at the Paris Masters, Rafael Nadal pulled out with another one.
This time it wasn't the troublesome right knee which had sidelined him since the U.S. Open semifinals in early September, but rather an abdominal injury which just crept up on him.
Given his history of injuries, Nadal listened to advice and did not play his second-round match against Fernando Verdasco on Wednesday.
"The last few days I start to feel a little bit the abdominal, especially when I was serving," Nadal said. "The doctor says that is recommended to not play, because if I continue the abdominal maybe can break and can be a major thing."
This latest injury will cost him his No. 1 ranking, which goes back to longtime rival Novak Djokovic next week.
Djokovic lost his top ranking to Andy Murray at the Paris Masters two years ago.
As he then struggled to come back from a lingering elbow injury, the 31-year-old Serb's ranking plummeted to No. 22 in May this year.
But Djokovic has completely turned his form around, winning four of the last five tournaments he has entered, including Wimbledon, the U.S. Open and most recently the Shanghai Masters. The 14-time Grand Slam champion's brilliant comeback makes him the first player to reach No. 1 after being ranked below 20th in the same season since Marat Safin in 2000, according to the ATP Tour.
Djokovic faces Damir Dzumhur in the third round, the first time they have played each other.
For Nadal, it is the second straight year he has withdrawn from the Paris indoor tournament and he is not sure if he will play at the season-ending ATP Finals in London, starting Nov. 11.
"I cannot answer. I just go day by day," the 17-time Grand Slam champion said. "The most important thing for me is to be healthy, be healthy and have the chance to compete weeks in a row. Something that I was not able to do this year, playing only nine events and retiring in two."
Nadal has dealt with off-and-on knee problems for years and the 32-year-old Spaniard prefers to be cautious. At the U.S. Open, he retired during his match against Juan Martin del Potro. He then skipped the Asia swing to recover, missing tournaments in Beijing and Shanghai.
"It has been a tough year for me in terms of injuries so I want to avoid drastic things," Nadal said. "The doctor says if I want to play the tournament, I want to try to win the tournament, the abdominal with break for sure."
Nadal is optimistic his latest injury will pass, providing he does not rush back.
"It would not be fair to say it's a real injury today but what is sure, if I continue it will be a real injury," he said. "When you come back after injuries, and you push a little bit, the body at the beginning some issues can happen."
Lucky loser Malek Jaziri replaced Nadal and beat Verdasco 7-6 (5), 1-6, 6-3 and next faces defending champion Jack Sock.
Roger Federer also advanced to Thursday's third round after big-serving Milos Raonic retired before their match with a right elbow injury.
Raonic injured himself during a three-set win against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga on Tuesday.
"In the middle of second set, I overextended my elbow and it did some kind of pain," he said. "I went and I did an ultrasound and MRI, and they found some kind of a lesion in the tricep."
Federer, who won his 99th career title at the Swiss Indoors last Sunday, will next face 13th-seeded Fabio Fognini. He leads the Italian 3-0 in matchups.
Sock and fourth-seeded Alexander Zverev reached round three in straight sets.
The 16th-seeded Sock won 6-3, 6-3 win against Frenchman Richard Gasquet, while Zverev advanced 6-4, 6-4 over American Francis Tiafoe.
Sixth-seeded Dominic Thiem won 6-4, 6-2 against Gilles Simon, beating the Frenchman for the eighth time in 10 meetings.
No. 7 Kevin Anderson, the Wimbledon runner-up; No. 8 John Isner, No. 9 Grigor Dimitrov, No. 10 Kei Nishikori and No. 15 Diego Schwartzman also advanced.
Isner and Nishikori are competing with No. 5 Marin Cilic and Thiem for the last two ATP finals places. Cilic faces Dimitrov on Thursday.

Bookreporter.com: Lucy is the first dog you've owned since you were a teenager in the '60s. Do you now regret having waited so long?
Dave Barry: Actually, I had several post-teenage dogs, but Lucy is my first one since the mid-'90s. I regret my dog-less years, but I have to blame my wife, Michelle, who was adamantly opposed to getting a dog, until finally our daughter, Sophie, wore her down, and we got Lucy. Of course, Michelle immediately fell in love with Lucy and is now the world's biggest dog person. Lucy can walk up to Michelle any time she wants and lick her right on the face, and Michelle loves it. Whereas I must get permission in advance.
BRC: Although Lucy is nominally Sophie's pet, you've no doubt invested 3,500 hours or so chipping in on her care. In what area does Lucy most impact your day-to-day life?
BRC: Someday in the future, Lucy will have transitioned on to Valhalla, the eternal residence of all good doggies. With Sophie no longer at home to hector you, do you think you and Michelle would opt to get a new dog just for your own satisfaction? And if that does happen --- puppy or adult dog?
DB: First of all, LUCY WILL BE AROUND A LONG TIME. But if she does transition, we will definitely get another rescue dog, I'm guessing a puppy, because that's how we started with Lucy. In fact, Sophie and I have been lobbying Michelle to get a puppy while Lucy's still around, so Lucy can show her the ropes.
BRC: Your book examines several life lessons you learned from observing and living with Lucy. Of them all, which are you most grateful for?
DB: I will be serious here: Lucy's best lesson is that every day you wake up reasonably healthy and near your loved ones is a good day --- a blessing --- and you should try to appreciate every moment of it.
BRC: What are your honest feelings about people who don't allow their dogs to live 90% of their lives on our furniture?
DB: That would be my wife, Michelle. My honest feeling is that I love her very much, but she is not being realistic.
DB: I feel sorry for these people. They don't get to go to the dog park, where the dogs are happily playing with each other, and the dog owners are chatting happily about their dogs. Instead they go to the cat park, where no cats are visible, and the cat owners are standing around thinking, "Where the hell is my cat?"

Home WEIRD Robot judges 'will pass sentence with no human bias' in AI courts
Robot judges 'will pass sentence with no human bias' in AI courts
It's likely that most people locked in our jails believe that with a better lawyer, a more lenient judge or a more understanding jury things might have been very different for them.
Human error, they will say, is to blame for them being banged up.
But can the human element be removed? Law firms are already using computer algorithms to perform background research other tasks traditionally performed by human staff. And that's just the beginning.
As computer researchers get closer to creating true Artificial Intelligence, it's predicted to eliminate most paralegal and legal research positions within the next decade.
Would you be happy facing a robot judge?
(Image: Getty Images/iStockphoto)
The next step inevitably involves artificial intelligences aiding, or even completely replacing lawyers. And if we have robot lawyers, why not automated judges and juries too? Why not a fully solid-state legal system?
Lawyer Tom Girardi, who was one of the real-life inspirations for the movie Erin Brockovich, told Forbes: "It may even be considered legal malpractice not to use AI one day
"It would be analogous to a lawyer in the late twentieth century still doing everything by hand when this person could use a computer."
Writer Rossalyn Warren points out that people are, by their nature, flawed. Flesh-and-blood jurors and judges will always bring their own prejudices into the courtroom.
But a robot juror, she says, "could be crammed with a far broader range of facts and figures about the nature of crime, cases on record and the law, making it much more worthwhile than a juror who has little awareness on such matters."
has the traditional jury had its day?
She goes on: "Expecting randomly selected members of the public to decide the fate of a person in a jury system is outdated because the notion of a fair and impartial jury doesn't exist."
Even cross examinations could be outsourced to an automated system. A thought-provoking experiment shows that people are more likely to be completely honest with an unemotional machine than a potentially judgemental human.
When researchers led by Jonathan Gratch at the Institute for Creative Technologies created an artificially intelligent robot psychologist named Ellie they tested it on two groups of people.
Jonathan Gratch, seen here with another one of his experiments
Half were told Ellie was just a machine that was able to ask probing questions and understand their respondents' emotions with 3D cameras. Those people were shown to give more honest responses to "her" while the experimental subjects that were told that Ellie was being operated by a human 'puppeteer' gave less direct answers.
Apart from the possibility of getting a fairer result, raw economics come into play too.
"If a lawyer can use AI to win a case and do it for less than someone without AI," says Tom Girardi, "who do you think the client will choose to work with next time?"
There's no chance of sympathy from a silicon magistrate
But a solid-state legal system with no humans involved isn't necessarily more error-proof than our existing system. Former Prime Minister Theresa May, in an address last year to the Davos Forum, pointed out that we need to develop a set of laws governing Artificial Intelligence so we can "make the most of AI in a responsible way, such as by ensuring that algorithms don't perpetuate the human biases of their developers."
After all, as Ms Warren points out: "AI, computers and legal robots are made by humans. "Technology, like humans, can make mistakes and hold the same discriminatory factors.
At least we have some chance of guessing at a judge's prejudices
"For example," she goes on "people of colour are more likely to trigger a 'false positive' match than white people on facial recognition software, which means they are more likely to be subjected to a wrongful police stop and search."
And the real danger there is that a machine's bias is less likely to be questioned by a human's.
If you end up jailed on a robot judge's decision, there's even less chance that your pleas of innocence will be believed.

The surround sound receiver is an important piece of equipment that is more commonly referred to as the AV receiver. AV in this particular instance refers to audio and video. In other words, the receiver receives all this information and then plays traffic cop directing it where it should go. If you purchase an all in one sort of AV receiver you will notice that in addition to conducting traffic this particular tool wears many hats when it comes to effectively running your home theater or surround sound system.
The receiver functions in the capacity of a switch for all audio and visual information that comes into your home theater system. This device takes all the source information and data and literally switches (or translates if you will) that data into pictures and sound. Without something to operate in this capacity it would be impossible to have a home theater system as the information couldn't be properly filtered and translated into the areas in which it needs to go.
Surround decoding is yet another task that the AV receiver performs with grace. Surround sound is encoded onto the discs that we play in our theater or sound equipment. The most common type of encoding is designed for 5.1 channel surround sound systems such as Dolby Digital or DTS receivers. There are others that exist but the vast majority of DVDs are designed and encoded for the above mentioned 5.1 channel systems.
As if these weren't enough the AV receiver also works in the capacity of a signal processor. Common signals that are processed by the receiver are the following: THX post-processing, bass management, digital audio decoding, and simulated soundfields. If at all possible and budget friendly to do so you should really take the effort to find an AV receiver that is THX certified. The requirements to meet the minimal certification standards make a system that meets those standards an excellent investment for your home theater or surround sound needs.
Amplification is yet another of the many tasks performed regularly by your AV receiver. This is an important task to your surround sound and the overall 'theatrical' experience of viewing movies on your home theater. You will probably be wise to check with your retailer about how much amplification you actually need in your home theater, as there are many mitigating factors that affect that number. Among some of the mitigating factors are: ceiling height, square footage of the room, flooring material and other things as well). While more power is good in most situations there are times when it is simply too much for your system to handle. This is one reason that many people opt to buy ready-made box kits for their surround sound and home theater needs.
Last but certainly not least, the AV receiver actually works as a tuner for AM/FM radio. Don't be too shocked and awed by all the jobs that this one little device does, just remember this when you see the sticker price and think to yourself how much more you would pay if you were buying a separate device for each of these functions. We should all be grateful to the person who invented this particular contraption and be glad to pay the price we are paying for the amazing sound that is produced.


With ClickShare, the choice to collaborate in any meeting room using software or hardware is entirely up to you, the meeting room user. In addition to presenting with the iconic ClickShare Button, sharing with software or a combination of both hardware and software is now also possible. ClickShare is launching a Desktop App for PC and Mac alongside the well-known ClickShare Apps for mobile devices (both Android and iOS devices).
The combination of sharing content with both Button and App provides you the most intuitive and richest way of collaborating, enriched by power-user functionalities in the ClickShare App such as presence detection, extended desktop (on Windows, when Extension pack is installed), pause function, etc.
Download the ClickShare App for free from clickshare.app, and you are ready to share your content.
Share in a straight forward and intuitive way whether there is a Button in the room or not. The App and Button are perfectly complementing each other in any meeting room.
Simply download the app from clickshare.app; you don't need admin rights for the installation.
With a click on the button in the ClickShare App, you get on screen in seconds and start collaborating.
No matter which ClickShare you have in your meeting room, the App is compatible with the entire portfolio.
For ClickShare the highest security standards are used, including for the brand new App.
Go beyond sharing and get the latest collaboration experiences through frequent, automatic updates: pause sharing ... and much more to come in future.
Pause sharing and keep the presentation on screen while you work on something else on your laptop or desktop.
Walk in and select the meeting room that is within your vicinity from a convenient list.
It gives your company the freedom to choose how you want to allow sharing of content: via the Button, the Desktop App or both.
The ClickShare Desktop App is especially interesting for internal employees, since it will require the installation of the App on the employee's desktop. Just like for the entire ClickShare range, the Desktop App has been built to meet the highest security requirements, so your IT department can easily and securely roll the App out to the entire company.
With updates later this year, the Desktop App will become the driver for richer and enhanced collaboration in the meeting room.
The Desktop App has a number of power user features.
You can use either the iconic ClickShare Button or decide to work with the ClickShare Desktop App. In a networked environment we suggest to go for an App-first deployment. Whereas in a standalone setup the Button makes sure your computer wi-fi is not solely used for screen sharing.
You can even use both together: get easily on screen with the ClickShare Button and use the App to use the power features such as pausing.

If you've read Jeff Sharlet's magnificent GQ account of his lost weekend amongst the "Men's Human Rights Activists" at A Voice for Men's conference last summer (or my take on it here), you know that some of the creepiest moments his account involved his friend Blair, a twentysomething writer who came along for the ride and ended up, by her account, being groped and propositioned by AVFM's "director of collegiate activism" Sage Gerard.
Sharlet never mentions Blair's last name, but Elam outs her in a AVFM post with the lovely title "GQ's Jeff Sharlet pimps out Blair Braverman for clickbait."
Braverman, like her friend Sharlet, is a writer. As in, a real writer, someone who's won awards, whose work has been included in a number of anthologies, and who has a book coming out soon from Ecco/HarperCollins.
Elam must be aware of this – he links to her website, where all of this information is easily found – but for some reason doesn't mention it. Perhaps because Braverman, less than half his age, is being published by, you know, an actual big-name publishing house, while Elam will never be published by anything more prestigious than Paul Elam Press? (Sorry, Zeta Press. Because Paul is a Zeta male, a term he made up to describe the best kind of male.)
Whatever the reason, Elam is content to portray "pretty young Blair," whom he refers to repeatedly as a "girl," as little more than a sort of journalistic honey trap brought to the conference in order to lure the men there into, I guess, acting like the predatory creeps they are?
He also writes that Blair, who trains and races sled dogs, "is into dogs, but I want to make it perfectly clear that I don't mean that in a sexual way."
Brilliant, Paul. You're attempting to rebut a GQ piece that reveals you and your male followers to be a bunch of misogynistic assholes who are constantly saying inappropriately sexual things about (and to) every woman they find attractive … by being a misogynistic asshole saying inappropriately sexual things about a woman you find attractive.
Unexpectedly, Elam's comrades at AVFM, in their comments on his article, eschew crude sexual comments and focus on substantive points.
Just kidding! They're worse. Including the women.
Tara Palmatier, a clinical psychologist who has affixed herself firmly to AVFM and who co-hosts a regular Youtube show with Elam, writes of Braverman in something other than clinical terms, describing her as "a disingenuous doe-eyed (one eye slightly smaller than the other and just a smidge crossed) wannabe double agent," adding:
Yo, MSM, next time you want to employ a "honey trap" to infiltrate the MHRM conference, spring a few more bucks for a more tempting and believable honey trap. Think Julian Assange grade.
AVFM's "activism director" Attila Vinczer – we've met him before – pipes up with a weird and exceedingly creepy, er, appreciation of Braverman that may well make your skin crawl:
I sure recall Blair Braverman joining us in the lobby sporting her dark short shorts, shifting legs crossing one over the other and back again, rosy cheeks, blushing. Flirtatious? Hmmm. What other behaviour should she have had, being warned she would be raped?
One must wonder, just what exactly was their collective intention? Well, judging by the pathetic Jeff Sharlet hack article, it is clear, they were looking for that sizzle. What better plan than bring a young woman, dressed and behaving seductively provocative, to lure some unsuspecting guy like a pretty nerium oleander. We recognized the poison this pretty flower had in store and sent her packing.
Apparently all young women wearing shorts in June, and having legs that occasionally move, are trying to seduce creepy misogynistic assholes twice their age.
Dean Esmay, AVFM's "managing editor" and "chief operations officer," adds his two cents:
I remember noticing Blair and thinking she was an eye candy distraction whose job was to flirt with guys, and then thinking "nah don't be sexist, she's just nice."
My bad. She was there specifically to be a distraction
A young woman being a young woman in the presence of Men's Rights Activists – a clear case of entrapment!
Longtime AVFM regular "Andybob" had some questions.
I wonder how Sharlet prepped Blair Braverman for her role – apart from brushing the dog hairs off her person and instructing her to lose the goats. Did he coach her on how to drop a variety of rape jokes and references into conversations, or did she come up with it all on her own?
I've seen no indication that Braverman was prepped, or made any rape jokes, or attended the conference as anything other than a curious (and ultimately quite horrified) visitor. (The bit about goats is a reference to one of the photos AVFM filched from Braverman's Facebook page and used to illustrate the article.)
GQ's Sharlet – you know, the actual author of the piece that has the AVFMers so enraged – got some criticism as well. AVFM regular ManWithPlan referred snidely to Sharlet's alleged "fat rolls." Palmatier, a bit more creative, wrote that
Sharlet-tan gave me the heebie jeebies from his first cold, slimy amphibian-like approach. (Are slugs amphibians? That's what he reminded me of.)
Oddly, none of the AVFMers accused Sharlet of trying to seduce them by crossing and uncrossing his legs.
NOTE: Yeah, I used that cartoon once before. But. come on, it's awesome.

Buttercup Q. Skullpantssays:
Even knowing the dress is deep royal blue and black in reality, it still looks white and gold to me. The tone on the trim isn't dark enough to read as black. Even at the bottom of the dress, at most it's still medium brown with lighter gold highlights. It could be bad lighting, it could be Photoshopped. Maybe we all have different brightness filters in our brains?

My name is Zeta. I was built to be creepy but I don't want to be creepy anymore.
(SOMEONE'S got to get it)
The MagicAmy story is just… A lot of male gamers – most, I'd bet – WANT to meet girls who are also into games. A lot of the lynch mob after MagicAmy probably want too, and will moan about it and how X and Y women won't like them because of games.
Then, along comes a woman who is really good at games and they drive her out because they'd rather believe she's a bloke in disguise. Because a guy in the figurative pub said so.

Cerberussays:
On bigots complaining about "traps" that make them do something heinous:
I've always found this type of "logic" fascinating, because even if it was true that there was some nefarious force of evil SJWs out there trying to trick the assholes of the world into being horrible. Even if there really were nefarious woman creatures trying to trick men into hurling sexist abuse or being secretly creepy or rapists with their secret special skirts or even if a community really did punk them into killing one of that community and making a mockery of the justice system. Or so on as these always go…
It would be the easiest trap in the world to avoid.
I mean, these guys are obviously just trying to displace the blame onto their victims and this is just a tactic, but how could they possibly think this makes them look better in any way that they apparently can be so easily "tricked" into violating their moral code and any standard of decency at the sight of anything outside of their little box?
Cause it really doesn't make them look the innocent pawns of secret sex sorcerers, it just makes them look as terrible and dangerous as everyone thinks AND an easily duped moron to bout. And that's if you take their bullshit about deception as truth.
In this world not only do they seem dangerous and aggressively ignorant and bigoted, they also seem disturbingly well practiced at blaming the victim and gaslighting as a deflection tactic from abusive and rapey acts against women.
Ok, so at the behest of a commenter on Pharyngula, I scrolled down on the image until I only saw the bottom quarter of the dress. By magic, it started looking very clearly blue and black (albeit faded). And now I can't unsee that. One big trigger was comparing the bottom stripes of the dress to the black and white cloth at the bottom left of the image.
That's incredible. The dress perceptually now looks much darker to me, even though nothing about the image or my monitor physically changed. There wasn't even a difference in background; Pharyngulua has a similar black text on white background thing going.
@Cerberus:
I know, right? Imagine them being in front of a judge.
"How do you plead?"
"Not guilty, your honor! I was tricked!"
"Well, they put an attractive woman in front of me, and she tricked me into making rape jokes!"
"… What do you mean, how? Hello? 'Attractive woman?'"
"I don't follow… was she making jokes about rape as well?"
"… No."
"Did she lead you in some way to use words you didn't mean to use?"
"Then how, exactly, did she trick you?"
"She was attractive! And in front of me!"
"So your knee-jerk reaction to seeing an attractive woman is to make rape jokes?"
"Yes! I mean, no! Uh, give me a moment…"

If you zoom the image up really close, and use a colour picker tool, you can see that yes, they are exactly the same set of colours.

Well, this is a completely predictable reaction from Elam & Co. They really have no idea how awful they sound to people outside their echo chamber.
Binjabreelsays:
Totes (well, tangentially) off topic, but re: the psychologists who get involved in the MRM being idiots and hacks-
I got into a twitter argument with a women who claimed to be a retired psychologist who was trying to argue that there was systemic bias against men in divorce courts. I pointed out that most custody agreements are arranged between the parents without the courts' involvement so her statistics were garbage, then linked her to a massive collection of studies showing that fathers still get custody even when they are abusive.
She said "that doesn't prove systemic bias", and demanded I provide official statistics. I pointed out that the page I linked her to had reports from eleven different states' supreme courts finding bias in favor of the father.
She accused me of "the fallacy of composition", lol, because apparently she'd never heard of a representative sample. I love that demonstrating that every state has a systemic bias apparently doesn't prove that the whole country does.
It's always "fun" when people decide to put their personal ideology above their profession and it completely shits up their credibility & ability to do their job. Being Right is more important than being right.
Jimmysays:
Ohh this poor baby. If I could snap up Blair and hide her away in gauze and chamomile tea I would do it in an instant. Damn these broken men and their venom.
Jimmy:
Ohh this poor baby. If I could snap up Blair and hide her away in gauze and chamomile tea I would do it in an instant.
o_O That's not necessary. No death or rape threats being sent would suffice. And maybe not "rebutting" an article by making sexual innuendos, forming bizarre conspiracy theories about, and calling ugly a woman who didn't write the article in the first place. Rather than actually addressing the points of the article. That would be nice. But no, Blair is not a poor baby who needs to be hid away and coddles for her own protection.
Moggiesays:
If someone could get Elam to post his opinion of the colour of the dress, it would probably tear the MRA movement apart.

Binasays:
Snurk.
I find it absolutely hilarious that their "activism" (note the quotes, there for a reason) is aimed at un-oppressing men and freeing them to truly indulge their unique sexuality, with no repression from nasty feminist feeeeeemales. Then, what happens when there's a conference around exactly that? It gets attended by a guy who thinks it should be legal to rape 12-year-olds, and who has done something similar himself, and for that reason is now on a sex offender registry, which he wants to see abolished. Then another of these male-sexual-freedom advocates actually takes it upon himself to isolate an attractive young woman reporter from her colleague and her boyfriend, and proceeds to hit on her in the very way he's also telling her NOT to "send mixed messages". Several others follow suit, no doubt making the young woman very uncomfortable and inadvertently confirming every bad thing she's heard about them, but decided to investigate for herself (brave soul!).
And when they get their blatant hypocrisy written up for it, they go on a rampage in the comments section and at AVFMorons, claiming SHE trapped THEM. When in fact it was one of theirs that trapped her, and several more of theirs who later made a circle jerk of it in the wee hours of the morning.
If they don't want to be shamed for their bad "sexual" behavior, one would think they could learn to act in ways that don't deserve a good shaming. But they won't. They just want to behave badly and get away with it, when all's said. They don't give a shit about compassion for men OR boys.

I can see the dress as white and gold, or blue and gold, but I never see black. 🙁
I must have bad eyes, and I never even guessed after wearing glasses for the past 37 years 😛
alaisvexsays:
@gilshalos,
I can't see black either, no matter how hard I try. I either see white and gold or pale blue and brownish gold.
Skyesays:
OK, this is an old thread now, so I apologize, but I wanted to chime in on the dress thing.
First I saw it as white and gold (i could see pale blue and gold if I tried really hard) . Now that I have seen a different picture of the dress, I can't see it as anything other than blue and black. Trippy. (And still less disturbing than MRAs)

There's a reason behind this actually: These men have convinced themselves that their "geekiness", "nerdiness", or "gamer status" is the main reason they can't find a girlfriend or a woman who can tolerate them and their shitty behaviors, and plug their ears and go "LA LA LA CAN'T HEAR YOU" if someone dares to point out that maybe it's because they're shitstains on their chosen sub-culture, and that their behavior is the reason why there aren't more girls in said sub-culture.
When they meet a woman who, like them, is "geeky", "nerdy", or "a gamer", they feel the need to instantly discredit and/or challenge this girl because she challenges their world-view that there's nothing wrong with them, but rather it's just girls not being into what they're into that's preventing them from getting laid.
So, whenever someone like MagicAmy comes into a community of some kind of nerdy sub-culture, they're almost instantly chased out by gate-keeping dudebros who then turn around and whine about how women don't like them. And the process is only expedited if you're good at what you do, and are demonstrably better than a majority of the shitstain dudebros, like MagicAmy was.
See, while these asshats will hold themselves up as paragons of intellect and reason, and will try to say they're better than those meat-head jocks with their toxic masculinity, they've just set up another brand of the same toxic sludge in another area. Meathead jocks are Man as Brute King, while the geeky male persona is Man as Philsopher King.

So, while it's seems more appealing to women to get into these "geeky" hobbies, it's actually just as bad, if not worse.
Viscariasays:
I dated a guy once who only wanted to be with a woman who played video games, because that would prove that she was sufficiently nerd-cool. At the same time, his ego demanded that no mere woman be as good as he was at video games, or know as much about them. This led to all sorts of strangeness, like when he was pleased to learn that I knew of the game Psychonauts, but refused to believe that I hadn't just looked it up to impress him.

Excuse me?!
Psychonauts is a goddamned masterpiece of a game, and I will hype it out to anyone who will listen. And yeah, I learned about it from a man, but y'know what? I beat it on my own.
That guy can go do a Lego firewalk.
Admittedly, I'm leery of the term "girl gamer" because I feel like it divides gamers as a whole, and it brings up this image of a sexy girl posing with a controller in her mouth, and that won't ever get you taken seriously by other gamers. However, I feel like gamers who are female need to be separated because we'd only be harassed and not taken seriously if we aren't?
he good opinion of some sexist dude somewhere.
I wonder if it really came down to a conflict between different forms of masculinity. The superiority of men was a given for him, but he needed to be with a woman who valued his particular kind of manliness, rather than valuing some other kind of manliness, like football or business acumen or something.
So that was the second half of my comment… The first half was about how great Psychonauts was.

Love that this guy had to ascertain that no, he wasn't trying to say she fucks dogs just because he mentioned she had dogs. If you have to resort to those kinds of disclaimers based off that context, what the fuck is wrong with the people you're talking to?

165 Years of Struggle and Success"
The earliest Chinese American women came to the U.S. in 1785, they were mostly merchant's wife and housemaids. In the pursuing 165 yeas, they established an impressive legal history fighting for their human rights to become American citizens and then, fighting for their dignity as American citizen. We put together milestone legal stories involving them since 1853 and celebrate those great women with installation artworks and video artworks. We intend to break away from the usual historical posters exhibitions, and to show that art speaks louder than words!


You mean well. You're trying to be sensitive. But talking to someone with a medical condition can seem like walking through a minefield. Especially when it comes to a very visible ailment like psoriasis, it's easy to unintentionally say something inappropriate.
We've got your back. We asked psoriasis sufferers and their caregivers what well-meaning comments people routinely make that pushes their buttons. Avoid them, and you'll avoid giving offense or making things awkward.
The Statement: "I didn't even notice it!"
The Statement: "You might be more comfortable wearing long pants."
Why It Grates: It will make your friend even more self-conscious of her skin. "When you have psoriasis, you have to find peace with your body," says Pam Smith, a 53-year-old Chicago resident who has suffered from the condition for more than a decade. "It took me a while, but now I'm happy showing my skin—even in board shorts and a bikini top." Even if you're trying to protect your friend from uncomfortable stares, nix the clothing advice.
The Statement: "My aunt had that and [insert random remedy] cured her."
Why It Grates: "There isn't a cure for psoriasis, and it's frustrating that people don't realize that," says Terri Eggeman, a Tampa resident diagnosed in 2008. What's more, the home remedies many people suggest—Smith's family told her to rub banana peels on her skin—are often ridiculous. Want to be helpful? Offer to keep your friend company during a doc appointment, or just let her vent to you.
The Statement: "At least it's just a skin rash."
Why It Grates: Not only is this incorrect, but it makes psoriasis seem no more serious than a pimple or dry skin. "Psoriasis causes both skin and internal inflammation, putting sufferers at higher risk for other conditions," points out Cynthia Trickett, a physician assistant at Texas Dermatology Associates Southwest Psoriasis Center in Dallas. In fact, psoriasis sufferers are 58% more likely to experience heart problems and 43% more likely to have a stroke, according to the National Psoriasis Foundation. That's not all: A sufferer's odds of getting cancer, liver disease, diabetes, osteoporosis and a host of other illnesses are also elevated.
The Statement: "You don't look sick!"
Why It Grates: Your friend may be in a lot of pain. "I want to scream when someone makes this comment because just walking, typing, or even opening the page of a book has been a challenge for me because the pain is excruciating," says Diane Talbert, executive director of Psoriasis Network Support, who has lived with the condition since childhood.
The Statement: "What's wrong with your skin?"
The Statement: "I don't want to catch it."
Why It Grates: Psoriasis isn't contagious—even with skin-to-skin contact. "I can swim in the same pool as you, touch you, kiss you, and hold your baby," says Talbert. The condition can be inherited, however, so that's why it's common to see it among multiple family members. "My son used to tell his classmates that his plaques were like bug bites," says Jaime Lyn Moy, who has had the condition for a decade. They're red and itchy like bug bites. And, like bug bites, they can't be spread from person to person.

Q: Problem using jquery UI droppable and livequery! I have this code for some elements to be dropped
var $tab_items = $("ul:first li",$tabs).droppable{ tolerance: 'touch' ,....
and it´s work ok, but the problem it´s when I load another button by ajax or by javascript,
don´t work because the new element don´t have binding for this event.
In other similar situation I found a solution using livequery (event delegation), but here it´s imposibble because I don´t want to attach a function, I want to attach the same that on the first line code.
Any solution better than making dropabble after every new object load?

A: Just add the handler in your ajax success callback.
$.ajax({
   url: ...
   ...
   success: function(data) {
        $('<li>....</li>').droppable( { tolerance: 'touch', ... } )
                          .appendTo( '#tabs ul:first' );
        ...
   }
   ...
});
