Q: Add margins to divider in RecyclerView i am building an android app which is using RecyclerView. I want to add dividers to RecyclerView, which I did using this code:
DividerItemDecoration dividerItemDecoration = new DividerItemDecoration(recyclerView.getContext(), linearLayoutManager.getOrientation());
recyclerView.addItemDecoration(dividerItemDecoration);

So far everything works fine. However, the divider is taking the size of full screen and I want to add margins to it. Is there any way that I can add margins to the divider using a method that will add some space to the rectangle drawn and not by creating a custom drawable shape with margins and add it to the RecyclerView?

A: I think the most straightforward solution is to use the setDrawable method on the Decoration object and pass it an inset drawable with the inset values you want for the margins. Like so:
int[] ATTRS = new int[]{android.R.attr.listDivider};

TypedArray a = context.obtainStyledAttributes(ATTRS);
Drawable divider = a.getDrawable(0);
int inset = getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.your_margin_value);
InsetDrawable insetDivider = new InsetDrawable(divider, inset, 0, inset, 0);
a.recycle();

DividerItemDecoration itemDecoration = new DividerItemDecoration(context, DividerItemDecoration.VERTICAL);
itemDecoration.setDrawable(insetDivider);
recyclerView.addItemDecoration(itemDecoration);

A: You can create your own item decoration for recycler view.
Here is code for the same.
public class SimpleItemDecorator extends RecyclerView.ItemDecoration {

    int space;
    boolean isHorizontalLayout;
    public SimpleItemDecorator(int space) {
        this.space = space;
    }

    public SimpleItemDecorator(int space, boolean isHorizontalLayout) {
        this.space = space;
        this.isHorizontalLayout = isHorizontalLayout;
    }

    @Override
    public void getItemOffsets(Rect outRect, View view, RecyclerView parent, RecyclerView.State state) {
        super.getItemOffsets(outRect, view, parent, state);
        if(isHorizontalLayout)
        {
            outRect.bottom=space;
            outRect.right=space;
            outRect.left=space;
            outRect.top=space;

        } else {
            outRect.bottom = space;
            if (parent.getChildAdapterPosition(view) == 0)
                outRect.top = space;
            else
                outRect.top = 0;

        }

    }
}

And to use it with your recyclerview you can do like this:
 recyclerView.addItemDecoration(new SimpleItemDecorator(5));

A: Elaborating on @SeptimusX75: if you (like me) prefer to do UI stuff in XML you can create an inset drawable file. You'll have to create a second XML file but since in return your code gets cleaner I say it's worth it :-).
[UPDATE] as user @Zhou Hongbo suggest in the comments, using only one XML file: divider.xml:
<inset xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:drawable="@drawable/divider_base"
    android:insetRight="20dp"
    android:insetLeft="20dp">

    <shape>
        <android:shape="rectangle">
        <size android:height="1dp" />
        <solid android:color="@color/dividerColor" />
    </shape>

</inset>

[OLD ANSWER]:
divider_base.xml (the actual divider):
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:shape="rectangle">
    <size android:height="1dp" />
    <solid android:color="@color/dividerColor" />
</shape>

divider.xml (the inset):
<inset xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:drawable="@drawable/divider_base"
    android:insetRight="20dp"
    android:insetLeft="20dp">
</inset>

A: Same like @Vivek answer but in Kotlin and different params
class SimpleItemDecorator : RecyclerView.ItemDecoration {

    private var top_bottom: Int = 0
    private var left_right: Int = 0

    /**
     * @param top_bottom for top and bottom margin
     * @param left_right for left and right margin
     */
    constructor(top_bottom: Int, left_right: Int = 0) {
        this.top_bottom = top_bottom
        this.left_right = left_right
    }

    override fun getItemOffsets(outRect: Rect, view: View, parent: RecyclerView, state: RecyclerView.State) {
        super.getItemOffsets(outRect, view, parent, state)
        outRect.bottom = top_bottom
        outRect.top = top_bottom
        outRect.right = left_right
        outRect.left = left_right
    }
}

A: Here is a simple Kotlin code snippet to implement ItemDecoration with RecyclerView:
 recyclerView.addItemDecoration(object : RecyclerView.ItemDecoration() {
                override fun getItemOffsets(outRect: Rect, view: View, parent: RecyclerView, state: RecyclerView.State) {
                    outRect.left = 20    // Left Margin.
                    outRect.right = 20   // Right Margin.
                    outRect.top = 16     // Top Margin.
                    outRect.bottom = 16  // Bottom Margin.
                }
            })

Explantation:- In the above example code, we are adding margins to each item of
RecyclerView from all four directions.
Happy Coding...

A: I found the best and simplest solution
<inset xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
       android:insetLeft="40dp"
       android:insetRight="40dp" >
    <shape>
        <size android:height="1dp"/>
        <solid android:color="@color/recyclerview_divider" />
    </shape>
</inset>

A: shape.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

        android:left="16dp"
        android:right="16dp" />

</layer-list>

Code
val itemDecoration = DividerItemDecoration(context, DividerItemDecoration.VERTICAL)
itemDecoration.setDrawable(resources.getDrawable(R.drawable.layer, null))
recyclerView.addItemDecoration(itemDecoration)

A: Use this and customize according to your requirement.
public class DividerItemDecoration extends RecyclerView.ItemDecoration {

    private static final int[] ATTRS = new int[]{android.R.attr.listDivider};

    private Drawable divider;

    /**
     * Default divider will be used
     */
    public DividerItemDecoration(Context context) {
        final TypedArray styledAttributes = context.obtainStyledAttributes(ATTRS);
        divider = styledAttributes.getDrawable(0);
        styledAttributes.recycle();
    }

    /**
     * Custom divider will be used
     */
    public DividerItemDecoration(Context context, int resId) {
        divider = ContextCompat.getDrawable(context, resId);
    }

    @Override
    public void onDraw(Canvas c, RecyclerView parent, RecyclerView.State state) {
        int left = parent.getPaddingLeft();
        int right = parent.getWidth() - parent.getPaddingRight();

        int childCount = parent.getChildCount();
        for (int i = 0; i < childCount; i++) {
            View child = parent.getChildAt(i);

            RecyclerView.LayoutParams params = (RecyclerView.LayoutParams) child.getLayoutParams();

            int top = child.getBottom() + params.bottomMargin;
            int bottom = top + divider.getIntrinsicHeight();

            divider.setBounds(left, top, right, bottom);
            divider.draw(c);
        }
    }
}

A: Below is the code for divider in RecyclerView with left margin. Just paste the code in your OnCreate method of MainActivity.
class SimpleDividerItemDecoration extends RecyclerView.ItemDecoration {
    private Drawable mDivider;

    public SimpleDividerItemDecoration(Context context) {
        mDivider = context.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.divider);
    }

    @Override
    public void onDrawOver(Canvas c, RecyclerView parent, RecyclerView.State state) {
        int left = 250;
        int right = parent.getWidth() - parent.getPaddingRight();

        int childCount = parent.getChildCount();
        for (int i = 0; i < childCount; i++) {
            View child = parent.getChildAt(i);

            RecyclerView.LayoutParams params = (RecyclerView.LayoutParams) child.getLayoutParams();

            int top = child.getBottom() + params.bottomMargin;
            int bottom = top + mDivider.getIntrinsicHeight();

            mDivider.setBounds(left, top, right, bottom);
            mDivider.draw(c);
        }
    }
}

recyclerView.addItemDecoration(new SimpleDividerItemDecoration(
            getApplicationContext()));

Since, the divider.xml file will be missing from your drawable folder so below is the code that you have to paste on the divider layout after creating it on drawable folder.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:shape="rectangle">

  <size
    android:width="1dp"
    android:height="1dp" />

  <solid android:color="@color/divider" />

</shape>

A: just add paddingStart and paddingEnd to your RecyclerView. it's perfectly works with DividerItemDecoration

Former Ohio State WR In Congress Makes Decision On Political Future
September 17, 2021 by The Spun Leave a Comment
Since 2018, former Ohio State and Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Anthony Gonzalez has represented Ohio's 16th Congressional district. But amid intense political pressure, Gonzalez has made a big decision on his future in politics.
On Friday, Gonzalez announced that he will not seek election in the 2022 midterm election. In his statement, Gonzalez cited "toxic dynamics" within his own Republican party as a "significant factor" in his decision.
"Given the political realities of the day, I know this news will come as a disappointment to those who have been involved in our efforts," Gonzalez said in his statement. "You have given me and my family tremendous strength and courage in the face of much adversity these past few months and years. Please know that every word has meant the world to me and given me hope that the chaotic political environment that currently infects our country will only be temporary. While my desire to build a fuller family life is at the heart of my decision, it is also true that the current state of our politics, especially many of the toxic dynamics inside our own party, is a significant factor in my decision."
Gonzalez was one of the few House Republicans who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump following the January 6 Capitol riot. In the aftermath of that decision, Gonzalez was subject to a censure from Ohio Republicans, and calls for his resignation.
While Gonzalez won't be resigning at this time, he'll only have the job for 14 more months.

— Rep. Anthony Gonzalez (@RepAGonzalez) September 17, 2021
Born in Cleveland, Anthony Gonzalez was a star in both football and track in high school. His speed and football acumen earned him a scholarship at Ohio State, where he lettered for three years.
Gonzalez earned First-Team All-Big Ten honors in 2006 after making 51 receptions for 734 yards and eight touchdowns. He was second behind Ted Ginn Jr. in all categories that year.
The Ohio State star parlayed his success in college into the No. 32 pick by the Indianapolis Colts in 2007. But despite two decent years with the Colts between 2007 and 2008, injuries quickly mounted and cut his career short.
Gonzalez retired from the NFL in 2012.
In 2018, Gonzalez was elected to the House of Representatives, becoming the first Latino to represent Ohio in Congress.

Obama: ObamaCare Didn't Work, So Let's Completely Socialize Medicine
President Obama implicitly acknowledges ObamaCare has failed—and lays the cards on the table for what we knew was going to be his next step.
By Robert Tracinski
President Obama recently published an overview of the results of ObamaCare in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
It's a pretty extraordinary article, because in important ways it acknowledges that ObamaCare has basically failed—and it lays the cards on the table for what we always knew was going to be his next step.
Remember that the whole point of ObamaCare was to make health care affordable. Its official name, after all, proclaims it is the Affordable Care Act. But Obama acknowledges that health insurance premiums have turned out to be much higher than the law's advocates promised us. Or at least this is the closest you are likely to get to an admission from a politician:
[B]oth insurers and policy makers are still learning about the dynamics of an insurance market that includes all people regardless of any preexisting conditions, and further adjustments and recalibrations will likely be needed, as can be seen in some insurers' proposed Marketplace premiums for 2017…. [W]hile the ACA has greatly improved the affordability of health insurance coverage, surveys indicate that many of the remaining uninsured individuals want coverage but still report being unable to afford it. Some of these individuals may be unaware of the financial assistance available under current law, whereas others would benefit from congressional action to increase financial assistance to purchase coverage, which would also help middle-class families who have coverage but still struggle with premiums.
Let me translate that for you. Forcing insurers to cover people who are already sick and to charge them the same rates as healthy people has jacked up insurance premiums for everyone else. So because the law didn't make insurance affordable, Congress has to make it affordable by heavily subsidizing it with even more of the taxpayers' money.
Obama also somewhat vaguely acknowledges the problem of rising deductibles. One way of staunching the rise in premiums has been to offer plans with very high deductibles—the amount a person has to pay upfront before his insurance kicks in to cover the rest. This keeps the premiums affordable at the cost of making the actual care less affordable by whacking you with huge payments if you actually get sick. Last year, the New York Times acknowledged that under ObamaCare, "sky-high deductibles…are leaving some newly insured feeling nearly as vulnerable as they were before they had coverage…. 'We have insurance, but can't afford to use it.'"
I happen to think high-deductible plans are a good idea—when they result in much lower premiums, and when they are coupled with a system like health savings accounts, which encourage people to build up tax-free savings to cover their deductible payments. But that's not what ObamaCare does, and sticking people with a $12,000 deductible certainly isn't what it promised voters.
How we got these rising premiums and rising deductibles is no mystery. President Obama refers to "learning about the dynamics of an insurance market that includes all people regardless of any preexisting conditions." Well, maybe he had to learn about it. The rest of us had a pretty good handle on what it was going to mean. It means that rates go down for those who are already in poor health but go up for the young and healthy—which, in turn, means we get more of the first group looking for insurance in the ObamaCare exchanges, and fewer of the second group. Yet a viable health insurance market depends on those young and healthy people to pay premiums into the system without drawing much out in benefits, in order to make up for the old and sick who draw out much, much more in benefits.
The upshot is that the people in the ObamaCare exchanges have turned out to be an expensive and unprofitable bunch, and insurers are losing money on them. Some insurers have reacted by simply dropping out of the exchanges, and those who remain have had to jack up their premiums.
All of this is exactly what we predicted, by the way. And so is Obama's next step.
From the very beginning, I have argued that ObamaCare was ultimately designed to fail. Its basic contradiction is that it was founded on a fundamental hostility toward the entire idea of health insurance, which Obama and the Democrats view as inherently parasitical. Yet the Affordable Care Act is a scheme to require mandatory, universal purchase of the very product they despise.
How do you square that circle? Simple. ObamaCare mandated and subsidized the purchase of health insurance, but on terms that obviously made it unfeasible over the long term. Obama did so on the presumption that Democrats would be able to come back later and blame the fiasco on those greedy private insurers, then go for what they really wanted all along: a "public option" modeled on Medicare, as a further stepping stone toward "single payer," i.e., socialized medicine.
Here's how I called it in December of 2009, during the final debate over ObamaCare.
When you understand what this bill does, you can see why the Democrats would be happy to compromise and drop the public option—for now. This bill so comprehensively wrecks private health insurance that pretty soon a 'public option' will seem like the only alternative, and they will already have put into place one of the new taxes needed to pay for it. If the left's goal is to impose socialized medicine in America, this bill does it in the most callous and destructive way possible. It smashes private health care—then leaves us stranded in the rubble, at which point we will be expected to come crawling back to the same people who caused the disaster and ask them to save us.
Now we see president Obama officially calling for "a public plan to compete alongside private insurers in areas of the country where competition is limited."
But as two New York Times analysts note:
I confess I have a hard time envisioning a government plan available in only certain places. Traditional Medicare is always an option everywhere. A lack of competition is a signal that the economics don't work for a private insurer in a given geographic area, and I'm not sure how a public option in those markets changes things…. One big advantage that a Medicare-like plan might have is the ability to pay less to doctors and hospitals than many commercial plans. But if the public option is really able to underprice the private options by a lot, why would they stay in the market?
So the purpose of the "public option" is not to supplement private insurance, but to finish it off. And what then?
When it was first floated, the insurers objected because they simply don't have the pricing power of Medicare, which essentially dictates prices rather than negotiates with hospitals and doctors. They thought it was a path to single-payer because it would eventually drive all of them from the market. Maybe Bernie Sanders would approve.
By the way, I quote the New York Times so much here because they have been and continue to be cheerleaders for ObamaCare, so they're a pretty good indicator of how the law's own supporters think it's going to play out.
Like I said, this was predictable and predicted from the very beginning, but now it's all out in the open. ObamaCare was always just an exercise in planned obsolescence, cobbling together a system nobody really thought was going to work, just so they could exploit its failures to push for the socialized medicine they really wanted all along. It's telling that in this article, Obama boasts that the Affordable Care Act has increased the number of people who are insured, but his own data shows that the biggest driver of that is an expansion of Medicaid, which is not insurance but welfare—the system he wants for everyone.
As I noted back in 2009, a decade-long exercise in deliberately wrecking private health insurance is the most callous and destructive way to pursue that goal.
If that surprises you, look at Venezuela. When has the Left ever shied away from smashing everything to pieces in pursuit of government power? So we shouldn't expect anything different here.

Condor Cut Jobs
By TonyMWeaver,
August 25, 2020 in Channel Islands
TonyMWeaver
Confirmation of what I heard 2 weeks ago.
Coronavirus: Condor Ferries to cut almost 200 jobs
Almost 200 people have been made redundant at Condor Ferries as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, the company has said.
Chief executive Paul Luxon said the cuts affected 37% of its staff, which the company said was about 500 strong.
Mr Luxon said it was a consequence of a 75% fall in income over the last five months.
He said a limited schedule between the Channel Islands, the UK and France would remain till the end of the year.
Condor said it had received no revenue from passenger services between March and early July due to the lockdown, with freight volume down 40% over the same period.
In early July, the company was forced to cancel its planned restart of services between Jersey and St Malo when baggage handlers in France went on strike.
Mr Luxon said the company had faced "the perfect storm" at "the busiest time of the year".
Condor has since been able to operate sailings to Jersey from St Malo and Poole after Jersey reopened its borders to non-essential travellers.
While the company said it had expected Guernsey to do the same in early September, that prospect is now "improbable".
In a letter to customers, Mr Luxon said "drastic changes" had been made to protect the company's future, including "a resizing of the business".
He did not confirm exactly what the "limited schedule" would look like.
"We fully recognise our responsibilities for supporting the visitor economy, travel for Channel Islanders and for bringing in essential freight, and whilst none of us can use a crystal ball to predict the future, we hope that normality can, at some point, return," he said.

Dillon Myers is Venture for America Fellow
By Julie Cline
Dillon Myers, a Washington and Lee University senior from Foxborough, Mass., has been selected as a Venture for America Fellow.
Venture for America (VFA) funnels intellectual and creative college graduates toward American start-up companies in cities with struggling economies. Its ultimate goal is to immerse talented graduates into the world of start-up companies and encourage them to become socialized and mobilized entrepreneurs, while also benefiting the start-ups in a tough economy.
This year, VFA recruited 77 fellows, including Myers and another W&L senior, Alexander Baca. This is VFA's third class of fellows.
Myers, a business administration and East Asian languages double major, was inspired to apply to VFA by Mike Wilner, a 2013 graduate of W&L and a current VFA fellow. The two met through W&L's Student Consulting Group and Wilner connected Myers to Dwolla, a financial technology startup company that was just named by Fast Company as a Top 10 Most Innovative Financial Companies in the world.
Myers said, "I have always had an entrepreneurial mindset, everything from getting in trouble in elementary school for starting a business selling clay balls, to a social media consulting business I started a year ago to help businesses in Lexington market to W&L and VMI students.
"I highly recommend a start-up internship to any current W&L students. I was able to wear many different hats, work in a variety of business areas and have responsibilities and influence that I had never imagined an intern could have."
After working for Dwolla, Myers applied to VFA last October. He went through a rigorous interview process that culminated in interviews with top entrepreneurs and venture capitalists in New York City.
A week later Andrew Yang, the CEO of VFA, called Myers with an offer that, he said, "I accepted on the spot."
Jeffrey Shay, the Johnson Professor of Entrepreneurship and Leadership at W&L, was not surprised at Myers' selection for the fellowship. "Dillon is well spoken and creative, smart and personable; he'll do a great job in VFA," said Shay. "I had him in class last term and have no doubt that he'll do wonderfully in an entrepreneurial environment. Whatever start-up gets him will be very lucky."
At W&L, Myers is the executive director of Washington and Lee Student Consulting and is the head of marketing and fundraising with GenDev Microfinance, a student-run development agency. Myers placed 11th nationally in the NCAA decathlon and is a University record holder in the 4×400 meters, 400 meter hurdles, decathlon and heptathlon and is an NCAA Academic All-American.
Myers served as an account executive with AdClass and was lead presenter in the national student advertising competition and is business manager for the Ring-tum Phi student newspaper. He has been on the Dean's List and won a Johnson Opportunity Grant.
"I was struggling with what I wanted to do after graduation, because there is no clear-cut path for entrepreneurs," said Myers.
Myers will spend the summer in training camp at Brown University before he is placed in a start-up in August.

Some of you may remember seeing one of the first personal computers at a Radio Shack store in the latter part of 1977. Although there were three competing "home computer" systems on the market, only the TRS-80 was widely available – it was on display at 3,500 Radio Shack stores throughout the United States!
Neither Apple nor Commodore had that kind of exposure. Both companies had to develop their own networks of computer dealers, and the idea of a retail computer store was a new one. A few companies did the work and then built chains of franchise stores using what they had learned in the new market.
Countdown was a popular futuristic typeface in the early days of personal computing, used by Byte Shop and Byte magazine.
Founded by Paul Terrell in Mountain View, California, on December 8, 1975 as one of the first retail stores for the fledgling hobby computing market, Byte Shop was the first store to place an order for the Apple 1 computer in 1976. In fact, it was Terrell who convinced Steve Jobs to sell the Apple 1 as an assembled system board rather than a bare logic board that the end user would have to populate and assemble.
Terrell began franchising Byte Shop locations in January 1976, and it was the largest chain of franchise computer stores for some time. The company later changed its name to MicroAge. The stores typically carried Apple II, IMSAI, Northstar, and Altair computers.
MicroAge was listed on the Fortune 500 list from 1985 through 1991; its chief competitor was ComputerLand. MicroAge filed for bankruptcy in 1991.
Another the early retail chains was ComputerLand, which was founded by William Millard in 1974 as the first chain of full service computer stores.
January 1977 Computer Shack ad.
Millard had founded IMSAI, maker of one of the earliest kit computers, in 1973, and quickly learned that most computer shops were under-capitalized, which meant they might close their doors at any time and never pay their bills. He needed a more stable way of selling hardware. His solution was Computer Shack, which launched in 1976 and sold assembled IMSAI 8080 computers, along with systems from other manufacturers. Compared with Apple and other brands, the IMSAI hardware did not sell well.
The first franchise store opened in Morristown, New Jersey, in February 1977. After some legal threats from Radio Shack, the name was changed to ComputerLand, and the chain had 14 stores in August 1977, 23 in November 1977, and eventually grew to about 800 locations around the world circa 1985 – still a far cry from Radio Shack's 3,500 locations.
ComputerLand had a rocky relationship with its franchises, especially when it announced that it wanted to open company stores in franchise markets in the mid 1980s. Between 1984 and 1989, ComputerLand lost 20% of its franchises. Under the leadership of William Tauscher, who stepped into the role in 1988 when ComputerLand's president and CEO, Kenneth Waters, abruptly quit. Tauscher worked to merge or sell weaker stores and had the corporation acquire many of its big city franchises. In June 1991, Tauscher oversaw the acquisition of Nynex, which added 79 company-owned stores.
This put ComputerLand at odds with it franchisees in a number of locales, which tarnished the brand.
In 1994, ComputerLand sold its name and franchise operation to Merisel, already the largest publicly held wholesaler distributor of microcomputer hardware and software products. The ComputerLand company stores were rebranded under the Vanstar name; Vanstar was acquired by InaCom in 1998.
In 1981, I had the privilege of working at ComputerLand of Grand Rapids (Michigan), the first Apple dealer in the state and one of the early ComputerLand franchises (#44). When I worked there in 1981, the store carried Apple, Atari, Commodore, Osborne, and a few other brands. I remember the day we received our first shipment of IBM Personal Computers in August 1981.
When I returned to ComputerLand of Grand Rapids in 1989, it was selling IBM, NEC, and an unbranded PC clone alongside Novell networking, Great Plains accounting software, and Apple equipment. Coming in as a "DOS dude" at the time, I saw a great opportunity for myself, as everyone else pushed Macs. Instead I became a convert, got my first Mac in 1990, and have never switched from Macs.
I was let go from ComputerLand of Grand Rapids in November 1991, as the company was struggling to survive after our finance company unexpectedly changed our terms. We had closed our Kalamazoo, MI, store earlier in the year, and that November everyone who wasn't in commissioned sales or the service department was let go. The store lasted a few more months before closing its doors.
There were three other major players in the era of the home computing revolution – Businessland, Nynex, and ValCom – as well as some smaller retail chains.
Launched in 1982, Businessland, which did not franchise, was the leading non-franchise retail chain in the industry. In March 1989, it became the only chain of retail stores authorized to sell NeXT Computers. However, Businessland suffered some serious reversals, including losing Compaq – then the third-biggest brand in the industry after IBM and Apple – from its stores in 1989. In 1991, Businessland agreed to be acquired by JWP Inc.
ValCom Inc. was another later player in personal computer retailing, founded by William "Bill" Fairfield in 1982. ValCom and Inacomp Computer Centers merged as InaCom Corp. in 1991, and in 1993 InaCom acquired Sears Business Centers, bringing the chain to over 1,200 locations. ValCom acquired Vanstar in 1998, which unbalanced its finances, leading to ValCom filing for bankruptcy in 2000 and letting go all its employees. Compaq acquired ValCom's distribution business and other major assets in 2000 and was itself acquired by Hewlett Packard in 2002.
Nynex was a small player, with a total of 79 stores when it was acquired by ComputerLand in 1991, which was in turn acquired by InaCom in 1998.
I don't know what happened to the Entré Computer chain, which appears to have begun in 1983.
CompuCom Systems was part of the next wave of retail computer chains, starting out in 1987. In 2000, it acquired MicroAge Technology Services. CompuCom appears to be completely out of the retail sector.
Many former independent ComputerLand franchises continue to use the ComputerLand name. There are still many Entré Computer Centres. The rest of the names of these retail computer chains seem to have vanished into history.


Have you ever wanted to be a part of something big, something important? Ever wished you were alive during the 60's? Or joined the foreign legion to stop tyranny? Or owned a light saber?
Smoting evil, doing something important, or at least worthwhile, it's always been a desire of mine. Sometimes doing something important has been confused with being someone important, but the intention was always inherently good in a karmic values sort of way. Nothing short of a cultural revolution would do, but where would I find one? The 60's were nearly a decade dead before I even saw the light of my first hospital room and I wasn't born in Cuba or China or any other Communismia and things seemed ultimately hunky-dory here in the United States of A.
The revolution will not be televised – because it's on the Internet, in your iPod, and in the hearts and minds of every single American walking the streets of our digital uprising!
And there's so much more to ensure that our generation is eternal, that the people of the turn of the next millenium won't just look back at us and say "Yeah, they got it totally wrong with Spiderman 2099" but will remember the Nathans, Chads, Bobbys and Stones of our time and images of the hybrid cars and farmer's markets and photovoltaic panels will fill their minds (arcane as they'll seem to a future-race).
They'll remember how Greenland's ice sheet didn't melt and we didn't sink Manhattan.
How we stopped buying pesticide covered food from thousands of miles across the world and became healthier individuals with stomachs full of organic fruits and vegetables. How we shed millions of pounds across the world as we walked more, talked more, thought more.
How we killed religionism and the wars it's only good for.
How we stopped whining over losing American jobs to outsourcing and started realizing that everyone in the world is responsible for their own life, and if someone else can do it better/cheaper/faster than you'd better step up and figure it out.
How we ended the cycle of endless ghettos and Paris Hiltons by allocating welfare less and less until it's eliminated, and making everyone stand on their own two feet. How we realized that tax cuts and tax exemption for the uber-rich are as much welfare as handouts to the poor.
How Red States, Bible Belters, and the Confederacy realized that they're the driving force between holding on to a bitter and outdated way of thinking which only leads to their gay sons getting by on blowjobs and therapy in New York gutters or their daughters losing limbs to land mines in our fight against freedom.
How treehugging liberals and Democrat leaders quit acting like pussies and started making their points as they felt them, not as politics would best present them.
How our government in general was overthrown and started over from scratch, with the original ideals put in place when this country was just a bunch of ragtag soldiers who wanted to govern themselves, not the lobbying, vote-tampering, royal family that it has become today.

Virgil Ross - I Love to Singa Owl Jolson Drawing (Warner Brothers, c. 1990s)...
Virgil Ross - I Love to Singa Owl Jolson Drawing (Warner Brothers, c. 1990s) "I love to singa... about the moon-a and the June-a and the spring-a!" The Merry Melodies short I Love to Singa has taken on a cult-like following and there isn't a Warner Brothers animation fan that doesn't recognize this song and the little owl who sang it. Based on the song from Al Jolson's 1936 film The Singing Kid, it's considered one of Tex Avery's early masterpieces. This original drawing is by legendary Warner Brothers animator, Virgil Ross (1907 - 1996). It's rendered on 12 field 3-peghole animation paper and signed by the artist. Drawings like this were done at personal appearances at the Warner Brothers Studio Stores and Animation Galleries to promote a line of limited edition cels. This big beautiful image of everyone's favorite little owl measures a whopping 6.5" x 6". The paper shows light handling and condition is Fine.

The level of expertise and professionalism from everyone on your staff from the very beginning to the end was exceptional.

Chinese coffee franchise brand Bracket introduces new culture platform spaces to the fast-changing Chinese market that provide a truly authentic specialty coffee experience. After establishing the first pilot shop in the first floor of the HQ office in 2017, the first Flagship Store saw its Grand Opening in Beijing's Sanlitun district in January 2018; in preparation with nationwide launches in major cities.
In order to create a culture space based on specialty coffee as a medium, as defined in the brand identity, the design equally highlights methods of handling specialty coffee as well as the culture around it. Keywords were identified from different stations in the process from coffee bean to a cup of coffee and applied as design elements in various areas of the space. The strategy behind this approach was to create a space that has the potential to gradually evolve with the brand.

The Teen Mom cast is complete. On Friday, it was announced that Farrah Abraham will be returning to the hit series after famously not being asked back. Of course, reactions from the internet have been mixed.
As previously reported by the Inquisitr, the creator of Teen Mom spoke out, revealing that the show felt incomplete without the fourth story. While filming with Maci Bookout, Amber Portwood, and Catelynn Lowell has been going on for months, the camera crews just recently caught up with Farrah. In fact, MTV cameras were there when Farrah Abraham gave her final performance at a Texas gentlemen's club in November. Initially, it was believed that cameras were there simply to film a catch up special, and few people believed she would be reuniting with the Teen Mom cast.
In fact, it was the other three cast members who reportedly had a problem with Farrah being brought back to the show. It seems that they, like many fans, didn't agree with Farrah's choices post Teen Mom. Farrah has indeed branched out and established a successful career in the adult entertainment industry. Not only has she released two adult films and her own line of adult toys, she has also been nominated for AVN Awards.
Now that she is returning to the Teen Mom cast, will Farrah Abraham change her lifestyle? The strong-willed entrepreneur doesn't plan to change a thing about her life, according to reports.
There is no doubt that once she left Teen Mom, Farrah Abraham's career took off in big ways. However, as the Hollywood Take points out, the other Teen Mom cast members had issues with Farrah well before her venture into the adult entertainment business.
Amber Portwood opened up to Life & Style about her issues with Farrah Abraham at the reunion shows.
Most recently, Amber has said that she has no ill feelings towards her co-star anymore, saying that she would like to "give her a hug" and reconnect.
Maci Bookout, on the other hand, was open about the fact that Farrah's lifestyle didn't sync up with the message the show was trying to send.
While it may not have been the Teen Mom cast members' decision to not invite Farrah Abraham back to the show, there is no doubt their feelings held some weight with the shows initial decision.
The Teen Mom cast has not yet spoken out about Farrah Abraham's return to the show, but as The TV Page pointed out, some fans are not happy about her return. Needless to say, the new season of Teen Mom will definitely be interesting.

Q: Does the "joint probability" of two events take their order into account? When we speak of "joint probabilities" in a general sense, do they take the order in which the events occur into account? Or alternatively, is it -by defnition- true that
$P(A\cap B) = P(B\cap A)$
? My statistics book is not explicit on this and I can't deduce it from the examples given.
A reference that's explicit on this would be really appreciated.

A: Yes you have from ensemble theory that $A \cap B = B \cap A$ (for instance from the intersection definition there Intersection), which is intuitive : $A \cap B$ is the set of elements that are both in A and B.
Therefore  $\mathbb{P} (B \cap A)= \mathbb{P}(A \cap B) $. And indeed the joint distribution is just for a pair of values to happen, no matter how they are related.
If you are interested in the order of elements, you are probably more interested in conditional probability (there should be a chapter on that in your book), that is
$$
\mathbb{P}(A|B) = \frac{\mathbb{P}(A \cap B)}{\mathbb{P}(B)}
$$
which is the probability that $A$ occurs given that B has occured

Q: Doctrine ORM entity with ODM mixed relation In relation to Doctrine ODM and schema-less design:
I have a Product entity class with a variable set of attributes, i'd like to use MongoDB to store those. Now here's my problem:
I know that I can reference to a Mongo Document by using https://github.com/Atlantic18/DoctrineExtensions/blob/master/doc/references.md
But, then I'd have a empty document class with only 1 class property with the "@hash" annotation.. and my path will look something like this: "$product->getAttributeSet()->getAttributes()", assuming my Document is named "AttributeSet".
Is there a prettier/better way of doing this?

Deficiencies of water plants are often hard to diagnose because damaged leaves look very similar. If there is a lack of some kind of nutrient, plant can transfer this nutrient from older leaves to new leaves to preserve growth. Different nutrients can be transferred inside of the plant in different speed rates. We can divide these nutrients into two groups: mobile and immobile. Slow nutrients are called immobile. These types of nutrients aren't able to get into new leaves in time so deficiencies of these nutrients are shown on new leaves. In contrast, deficiencies of mobile nutrients are shown on older leaves. Mobile nutrients: Nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), molybdenum (Mo). Immobile nutrients: Iron (Fe), calcium (Ca), sulfur (S), boron (B).
By adding a small amount of FLORITIN Aqua on regular basis, you will eliminate deficiencies in your aquarium plants.

Myco Mix is the amazing underground secret to a better garden! This professional growing medium with Mycorrhiza is a must for establishing plants, recovering weak plants, and for transplanting applications, including seedlings and cuttings. Its active ingredient, Rhizophagus irregularis, is a soil inoculant, or endophyte (microbe) that promotes plant health.
A mycorrhiza (from Greek mico - fungus, and rhiza - root) is a symbiotic association between a fungus and a plant. The term mycorrhiza refers to the role of the fungus in the plant's rhizosphere, its root system. Mycorrhizae play important roles in plant nutrition, soil biology, and soil chemistry. These specialized fungi colonize plant roots to create a symbiotic root-and-mycelial network within the surrounding soils, increasing efficiency in nutrient and water absorption to optimize plant performance. Mycorrhizal fungi increase the surface absorbing area of roots as much as 50 times, thereby greatly improving the ability of the plant to access soil resources. They help to solubilize hard-to-capture nutrients, such as organic nitrogen, phosphorus, iron and other tightly bound soil nutrients.
Without mycorrhiza, some plants, especially fruit trees, won't develop properly (example: Lychee seedlings never develop into established plants without it).
Try the Myco-mix on your difficult growing projects and watch the miracle happen!
A must for soilles potting mix, provides drainage and holds moisture. Perlite is a natural mineral; an amorphous volcanic glass with a high water content. Very light-weight and highly absorbent, it possesses an unusual ability to greatly retain water. It is used as a great soil conditioner, but not as a soil replacement. Plants need nutrients which occur in the organic content of soil. However, perlite is the best ingredient to improve soil drainage. We normally add 10-15% perlite to our soilless mix. Some special drainage-loving plants (like Miracle Fruit) will require a higher content of perlite, up to 40-50%.
See Info sheet about growing media (2 pages).
Professional propagation mix for rooting cuttings. It has perfect drainage characteristics, promotes faster root growth and gives quick anchorage to young roots. The mixture helps retain air and moisture, releasing them as the young starter plant requires them.

Shashika John is the Communications and Marketing Lead for South Africa and Africa, at DHL Supply Chain. A force to be reckoned with, in a very male dominated environment, Shashika has a very warm and inviting energy. Prior to her position in communications, she was the IT Programme Manager for seven years, and enjoyed "translating" the "hard" tech conversation into business value for her customers. She has always had a keen interest in marketing and communications, so the promotion into the field was a welcomed change.
Shashika was selected to lead a programme for DHL Supply Chain's African region, called the 'Certified Supply Chain Specialist Programme (CSCS)', which aimed to position the company for expected growth globally, and to ensure both profitability and sustainability. In her own words, 'the programme was seen as a game changer in the industry globally, and was the most significant internal transformation ever that the organisation embarked on.' A large element of the role entailed communications, change management, and stakeholder engagement. Shashika underwent intensive training abroad, and amongst other skills gained, she emerged as a Master Facilitator.
Shashika is a true embodiment of the saying 'hard work pays off', and she proves that no matter what, we can achieve anything that we put our minds to.
I wanted to be a lawyer where I could fight on behalf of people who couldn't do it for themselves, and ensure that justice prevails!
Who has been your greatest role model?
I thought about this often as I have been inspired by so many wonderful people throughout my journey, and more often than not, words, and actions of my mum manifests in my mind, which helps me move forward – so I would have to say at this stage, that position is held by my mum.
What's the best piece of advice you've received from another woman who can?
That I am an individual in this world, and that my efforts today determine what my tomorrow looks like.
What change would you like to see for womankind in the future?
For every woman to accept that there is a fundamental reason for her being wherever she is, in whichever circumstance, at that particular point in time. Accepting that fact, one can move straight into what can be done about or with it, which is where I believe the real value lies!
The fact that I am part of the transformational change that the country is undergoing is phenomenal!

The incredible artistic quality of Antonio Arcos's images can easily be mistaken for the works of a great painter. When our staff first reviewed the work in Antonio's photography portfolio, we nearly mistook several of his images for paintings! These images are incredible.
Living his entire life in the beautiful country of Spain, Antonio has received a lot of influence from master artists, including his father who was also a professional photographer. This part of Europe has been a center for fine arts for centuries and Antonio continues to keep this tradition alive in the wonderful images he produces with his cameras.
You will love this portfolio of cultural images and fine art impressions, which Antonio has worked extremely hard to produce. This portfolio is among the best in the world for fine art impressionistic photography. This is the portfolio of professional photographer - Antonio Arcos.


Paris Est. It is 08.26 on March 26 and the Lyria TGV to Zürich is pulling out as usual. But this morning something is different on board. In both first and second class, many passengers are working with their laptop computers. Most of them are linked to the internet, receiving and sending e-mails or browsing the web, just as if they were at home or in their office.
They are some of the first international passengers to benefit from a €19m development project to provide wi-fi internet access on all TGV Est services by 2010. Officially still a full-scale pilot project, this was the biggest single item in SNCF's 2007 research budget, according to Frank Bernard, director of SNCF International. As a first step, wi-fi was made available on two domestic TGV sets in December. The equipping of a TGV POS unit has now allowed SNCF to extend the trial to the Basel - Baden - Zürich route in Switzerland.
Mireille Faugère, Director of Voyageurs France-Europe at SNCF, believes that high speed wi-fi is a way for TGVs to gain market share, both in France and abroad, as well as raising the stakes for would-be competitors. 'This service is a major differentiating factor, two years ahead of the market opening up to competition', she says.
Although only three sets are currently fitted, the on-board equipment is due to be rolled out across 52 TGV sets by 2010, allowing SNCF to offer wi-fi facilities at up to 320 km/h over approximately 2 000 route-km in eastern France, Germany and Luxembourg, apart a from few kilometres of the old line through the Vosges, near the Saverne pass, where the mountains and deep cuttings block reception.
The wi-fi facility uses a different technology from that provided on Thalys trains. After the failure of an initial trial with GPRS, SNCF invited international tenders for development of an alternative system. The winning consortium brings together telecommunications company Orange, Capgemini, responsible for data processing, satellite operator Eutelsat and Alstom Transport.
Primary coverage is provided from Eutelsat's Atlantic Bird 2 satellite. Eutelsat has developed a directional aerial, which connects with the satellite regardless of the curvature and cant of the line. This aerial is designed to work under the extreme conditions found in the rail environment: speed, vibrations, a wide temperature range, electromagnetic interference, and so on. It is mounted on the roof of the TGV, using a housing developed by Alstom to resist the physical constraints of operation at speeds up to 320 km/h.
However, satellite coverage cannot be provided throughout the route, in particular in stations where the train may be under cover. To ensure a continuous connection, the system automatically connects with existing wi-fi hot spots at stations if the link between satellite and aerial is lost. The connection with the satellite is automatically restored as the TGV leaves the station.
The system has been designed to accept up to 50 users at the same time. Out on the main line, the transmission rate is 20 MB. Where the satellite link is not available, the upload from train to ground is restricted to 512 kB whilst the download from ground to train is just 2 MB.
On-board servers are fitted in car 3 of each trainset, connected by WLAN to two ceiling-mounted wi-fi access points in each coach. Data transmission between the vehicles is provided by redundant radio 'bridges', but SNCF says provision has been made to upgrade these to fixed cables if necessary.
What does a customer see when he switches on his computer? If the laptop is fitted with wi-fi capability, it immediately identifies the on-board equipment, and the customer is invited to log in. Customers who have used the facility during a previous journey will be recognised, and will eventually benefit from an offer tailored to their preference. After signing on, users are taken to a dedicated home page portal available in three languages - French, English and German. From here, the user can navigate to other web sites as required.
The dedicated TGV portal offers a variety of services and travel information, including a geographic location system developed by Capgemini with the support of TBWA and Textuel. This provides a map showing journey progress in real time, together with the current speed of the train. The maps also display details of attractions alongside the route. From the portal, it is also possible to watch videos, or consult a range of on-board information services: AFP news bulletins selected by Orange, weather forecasts, plus business, sport and other cultural features.
During the test phase, the service is being offered free of charge. SNCF is considering whether to introduce a charge once the facility is rolled out more widely. This might be included in the ticket price, or charged separately; it could also be possible to pay online, but nothing has been decided yet. Other operators are also looking at the pricing issue, but it is perhaps worth noting that between 60% and 70% of passengers on TGV Est are leisure or tourist travellers. This is very different from the Thalys market, where more than two-thirds of the passengers are making business trips.
CAPTION: The satellite aerial is mounted on the roof of the train, and two ceiling-mounted access points are fitted in each vehicle.

I fondly remember several highly rewarding wintry days in west England during January of 2007. Rolling green hillsides, angular ochre coastline, and exceptionally friendly people were to be found in the Devon countryside. Two such inconspicuous locals were recording engineer, Eric Tomlinson, and his radiant wife, Joy.
In an atmosphere of laughter, playful banter, and £2 bets we reminisced the days of CTS, Anvil, and Abbey Road. This was to be a remarkable epoch of film music recording in England. Ever so modest about his contribution to recorded sound – a gold record for Star Wars decorated the hallway but only at Joy's insistence – Eric was allocated the moniker of "Sir" by me and in return he labelled me "Magic." My lowly contribution was sorting a computer glitch!
We would individually take turns warbling film tunes with the other two harmonising along, trying to guess the piece. Discussions about The Quiller Memorandum (recorded by John Richards) were met with our best Matt Monro impressions as we crooned the theme. Was it "Thursday's Child" or "Wednesday's Child?" Eric and Joy were supremely confident of the former whilst I was steadfast on the latter. Google resolved the dispute in my favour and £2 was placed on the table for the taking.
Rich in tone, delivered via Maxell chromium oxide cassette tape, takes 104 and 105 of Farewell to the King provided fitting musical accompaniment as we toured Dartmouth in Eric's green Mercedes station-wagon. With 230,000 miles clocked on the odometer, the vehicle seemed to exude Eric and Joy's unperturbed temperament. A view of seagulls soaking up sunshine, with a sailing vessel meandering past, was typical of our journey through this peaceful nook of England.
Eric Arthur Tomlinson was born on 8 January 1931, the son of a chauffeur from Lancashire. A childhood adoration of aircraft led to the completion of an apprenticeship for the Fairey Aviation Company. However, it was during his daily commute through Hayes that Eric longed for the excitement of tinkering with ultra-modern broadcast and recording equipment at the neighbouring EMI Laboratories.
Abandoning his aircraft career and joining IBC Studios, Eric mixed and cut acetate discs during the renaissance of traditional jazz in England for artists including John Dankworth, Cleo Laine, and Ted Heath's band. It was a virtual proving ground for future recording luminaries including Keith Grant, Adrian Kerridge, and the eccentric Joe Meek.
Eric commenced his film music career in the late 1950s, initially executing recordings for conductor Muir Mathieson until the then new Cine-Tele Sound (CTS) studios beckoned.
From the earliest days of his career, Eric Tomlinson did not ascribe to romantic descriptions or haughty trumpeting of self-importance when it came to his profession. These were in contradiction to the congenial and self-effacing manner with which he assiduously worked and breezily entertained.
Behind the console, Eric possessed an adroit ability to rapidly obtain a balance and skilfully deliver a finished live mix. In the studio, shrewd selection of microphone and prudent placement were usually all that was needed. It was a virtuoso proficiency that led to the near total rejection of equalisation and dynamics processing electronics – standards in the audio engineer's handbook. Outside of panning, the other potentiometers and switches found on the mixing console were, ostensibly, for display-purposes only. In principle, Eric was entirely accurate when describing his control room duties, albeit modestly, as "up for loud, down for soft."
Eric Tomlinson kept an enviable résumé. Frank Sinatra's only album recorded outside of the USA ("Great Songs from Great Britain"); the "James Bond Theme" together with early OO7 scores including Goldfinger and Thunderball; blockbusters such as Ryan's Daughter, Star Wars, and Superman were among frequent and prestigious projects; and he brought film scoring to Abbey Road where he captured Raiders of the Lost Ark and Brainstorm with astonishing depth, realism, and nuance.
In many respects these recordings, among many others, would serve as a young person's introduction to the orchestra. The multi-platinum double-LP soundtrack for Star Wars would be one such guide. It was through the magic of John Williams, spirited performance of the London Symphony Orchestra, and exciting engineering of Eric Tomlinson, that an entire generation studied the sounds of a symphony as they dreamt of Luke Skywalker's adventures in a galaxy far, far away.
I remember the time we were spinning the Monsignor soundtrack LP. Eric was certainly not afraid to rotate the volume knob towards its limits and the sound was indeed gigantic. During a lull in one of Maurice Murphy's superb trumpet performances, I turned to Eric and asked "Is this how loud you'd normally monitor in the studio?" He frowned and queried "Sorry?" requiring me to restate the question. I then received a blunt retort with a single word: "No". This was followed by a pause lasting at least 30 seconds as Eric savoured John Williams commanding the London Symphony whilst supplying his own air conducting. Pointing towards the ceiling, with index fingers extended on both hands, Eric shouted "MUCH LOUDER!" following it with a smile. We both laughed heartily and soaked up the remainder of the album side – just listening together in deafening silence, so to speak.
What was most remarkable about Eric was his ability to listen to people. In many respects this is a quality assumed of someone who spent their career intently doing just that – listening. But he was so careful in his attention and so genuine in his interest. And as much as Eric's adventures of yesteryear were peppered with famous faces, spectacular scores, and amusing anecdotes, he was far more absorbed with the excitement of tomorrow and what it held – for you.
These are among the attributes that endeared him universally to those that worked alongside at a console in a control room or sat alongside at a bar in the local pub.
Eric was my mentor from afar. I'm certain he understood me better than I did and will probably ever do. He quietly championed me, my work, and aspirations. Eric's unflustered approach to life, his gracious good-nature, and his words of wisdom are carried within me.
My catch ups and conversations with Eric and Joy will indelibly be recalled with great affection. We formed a close bond that has endured more than ten years and I felt the love and care of parents towards their son. They made me laugh and I was fortunate to be able to return the good medicine.
Eric Tomlinson was the most humble, charming, and engaging Gentleman I have ever had the privilege to know. Quite simply, Eric was a superb person. And he helped make me a better one. It is an absolute honour to have shared pints of Kronenbourg 1664 with him.

Dr. David Pizarro is an Associate Professor in Psychology at Cornell University and Chief Science Officer at BeWorks which applies scientific thinking to marketing and operational challenges in business. He also hosts the Very Bad Wizards podcast that explores human morality. David received his B.S. From Pacific Union college and his M.S., M.Phil, and Ph.D. in Social Psychology from Yale University. He completed postdoctoral training at the University of California, Irvine before joining the faculty at Cornell University where he is today. David is a Fellow of the American Psychological Society in Behavioral and Brain Sciences and served as the Nannerl Keohane Distinguished Visiting Professor at UNC, Chapel Hill and Duke University last spring. David is here with us today to tell us all about his journey through life and science.
David spends a lot of his free time hosting the Very Bad Wizards podcast and making music for the show. He has been a hip hop fan since he was a kid and is dedicated to putting together great tracks for each episode.
Research in David's lab focuses on understanding how the human mind works, particularly in ethical and moral judgements. Their work seeks to understand why we think certain things are right or wrong, and they are beginning to unveil the psychological mechanisms that contribute to these judgements.
As a kid, David's curiosity was nurtured by his grandfather, who exposed him to interesting books and always answering his questions. David enjoyed reading books on science, started a rock collection, and did a lot of the usual things curious kids do. In college, he got hooked on philosophy and psychology and really started to think about why people have so many opinions about what is right and wrong.
One of the roughest patches of David's life occurred right after his post-doc when he moved from California to start as a new faculty member at Cornell. He was trying to manage a lot of different challenges both academically (starting his own lab, teaching new courses, and getting research published) and personally (adjusting to winters in Ithaca, raising his infant daughter, and relationship issues). In the end it all worked out, but it was a really trying time.
What satisfies David the most is when the things he does have a big impact on someone. For example, David recently got an email from a former undergraduate student in the lab who was just about to finish his PhD. The student mentioned how some of the conversations they had were really influential, and this was really rewarding for David.
A trip to Rio de Janeiro for a conference was one of David's most memorable travel experiences. The Brazilian people were very kind and welcoming, and they stayed at a great hotel on the beach. Every morning David and his colleagues would go out for a walk on the beautiful beach before the conference events began. They drank fresh coconut water straight out of the coconut, and it was a really relaxed atmosphere.
Some of David's favorite people are Philosophers because they are willing to talk about pretty much anything and are fun to hang out with. David remembers sitting down to dinner with a group of people, and one of his philosopher friends was relentlessly determined to get him to eat meat (since he is a vegetarian). He finally gave in and sampled some foie gras. The look of sheer delight on the philosopher's face was hilarious.
You will never get paid enough to do what you don't like. Follow your passion, and you'll do great science.
David's primary research interest is in how and why humans make moral judgments, such as what makes us think certain actions are wrong, and that some people deserve blame. In addition, he studies how emotions influence judgment across a wide variety of domains. These two areas of interest come together in the topic of much of his recent work, which has focused on the emotion of disgust and the role it plays in shaping moral, social, and political judgments.
