gets our brand, and we're now positioned perfectly for long term success on Amazon.
"We knew there was huge value in having an Amazon store and that there are a lot nuances in how to set up the store to maximize sales and revenue. We felt that the way to maximize sales and revenue was to hire an expert and all of the knowledge they have obtained rather than through our own trial and error, wasting time and money (which we tried on a few products). We searched and interviewed a few and Irina stood out above all of the others. She has been diligent, thoughtful and provided great advice.


Nobleborn Peter, Tsar of Bulgaria, was the son of the militant Bulgarian prince Simeon. Saint Peter was distinguished for his Christian piety, and he often turned to the Monk John of Ryl'sk (Comm. 18 August, 19 October), asking his prayers, spiritual guidance and advice. Nobleborn tsar Peter concluded peace with Byzantium on terms advantageous for Bulgaria. He gained recognition also from the Patriarch of Constantinople for the autonomy of the Bulgarian Church, and the affirmation of a Patriarchal cathedra-seat in Bulgaria, benefiting all the Bulgarian Church. Saint Peter aided in the successful extirpation of the Bogomil heresy in his lands. He died in the year 967, at 56 years of age.

Sorry, but I really feel the need to stress that if those are your views, that you're a fucking idiot.

I can't take the majority of them seriously because their answer is MOAR GOVERNMENT! Explain to me how that is going to help anything, when our Federal Government is a huge reason things are so fucked in this country.

1. Shit isn't going to change because they are out there.
2. They'll still be unemployed tomorrow. Go job search. I know its tough, but your efforts will be better spent trying to actually get employed.
There are "Blow 1929 out of the water" levels of prolonged unemployment in this economy right now if I had to guess, if you HAVE been job searching for 80 weeks, what is 1 day of protest?
http://economix.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/06/03/average-length-of-unemployment-at-all-time-high/
The hardest hit is probably also the age group here in ATOT that mostly don't vote, don't write congress, don't vote with their feet and wallets, and just sheeple their parents opinions even if it doesn't serve them.
OverVolt said:
true true, but how many people have been truly trying to find work for 80 weeks and not found any? are they looking at EVERY job available to them or just the ones they want? I'm pretty sure you could find a job, even a minimum wage job, doing something somewhere. Hell, are they calling the maid service companies to go clean houses for people? How about gardeners? They could go grab a lawn mower and a trimmer off craigslist for 100 bucks and start their own company. Oh I guess those jobs won't do though because those are "Mexican" jobs. lol
also, I do realize there are people who are legitimately not able to find work, but tbh it seems like the majority don't want to work, they want to do something they like and get paid a lot of money for it.
TallBill
Your post is retarded. You defend the protesters and then say that the hardest hit are not doing anything about it...
Scanning craigslist and applying for jobs will yield much quicker and immediate life changing results than voting (especially in chicago, where elections are won by 20-40% landslides), writing letters, or voting with their feet as you say.

This kind of securitization is absolutely the right way to distribute and diversify the risk of default over a broad population. It was exactly this mechanism that allowed so many Americans who needed to borrow at decent rates to buy homes to live the American dream in the decades prior. If banks fucked it up in the 2000s and did too many shitty mortgages, THEY were the primary victims of their own poor decision making. Huge financial institutions were the ones on the other side of irresponsible borrowers defaulting, not the average Joe. I mean come on, which tranches of CMOs did you buy for your investments? You didn't.
Yes, they made mistakes. Yes, they were trying to make money when they made those mistakes. That doesn't mean the concept is wrong or that those mistakes were self serving. They were not. Wall street hired less and fired more people around the crisis than any time in the last two decades. It's not like a bunch of people lost jobs and failed to pay mortgages and therefore the financial sector magically receives a bunch of money.
EDIT: And last time I checked, mortgages don't start existing without borrowers agreeing to borrow. The lender doesn't just decide he wants to lend more and unilaterally start handing out money and demanding interest.
For the record, I think Wall Street can be as scummy as the next guy thinks. And there are a lot of aspects of Wall Street culture I've come across that I straight up hate. But your arguments against them don't seem to make that much sense. Otherwise I'd probably get on board.
During those years I was getting pre-approved offers from lenders for loans in the hundreds of thousands of dollars practically every single day. They were practically begging me to borrow money against my house or to buy a bigger house.
Watching the news on this. A lot of the protesters have Macbook Pros or Airs and iPhone and/or other smartphones. I thought they were unemployed?

Do the 5%'ers know about them?
The term Five Percent comes from NOI doctrine that sees the world population divided into three groups: 85% of the people are blind to the knowledge of themselves and God, while 10% of the people know the truth, but teach a lie for their personal gain; seen as part of this 10% are religious leaders that teach that God is an incorporeal being (hence the term mystery God). The 10% can also include the governments and corporations of the world that deceive and mislead the majority of the world through most of the available media outlets. The remaining 5% are the Poor Righteous Teachers—those who do not subscribe to the teachings of the 10%, as they know and teach that God is the Asiatic Blackman, which refers to the entire planet Earth or Pangea.

1: Bad parents not taking care of their kid
2: Mining is dangerous, but criminal neglect and maleficence is something that may not lead to the CEO; given such a large company it may make a LOT of sense that the CEO did a great job while some ass-hat down below was cheating the books to make himself look better.
3: Why did they go into debt for a house that they built themselves? Maybe if she spent less than she earned and was responsible she'd have been OK. That said people who kill themselves are already broken, she could have just as well killed herself when they took golden-girls off of the rotation... Oh and her husband died, maybe THAT was the straw my friends?
4: Did the CEO sign off on the malfeasance? How does WS have anything to do with a poor financial choice on the part of the company? If anything the dangers of such problems are much more likely to keep people safe than the face-less government looking after such systems in places like Mexico.
5: "investor owned" as opposed to what? Government owned? NO, health outcomes in government facilities are horrendous.
Every one of these examples is an attempt to blame the wrong person in-order to argue for what? Hate is all I can see here, no vision for a better world, just hate and what? Directed at wall-street? Market efficient financial brokering had NOTHING to do with ANY of these; people being selfish sacks of shit did: something that wouldn't change under any other system, but may be much worse.
The real problem is what George is saying in the above: we need to deal with K street, not wall-street. We need to internalize costs, not mindlessly rail against people that help society. It's pure mindless drivel when you start looking to minimize costs for the most marginalized at the expense of the benefit of the vast majority. Your reality is so tainted by trivial emotions that you can't see the difference.
This isn't 99% vs the 1% this is the 10% somewhere in the middle that feel bad about the hardship of the bottom 1% but are happy to screw the top 99% so that 1% doesn't "suffer".
The real 99% is the top 99%; the people worth sympathy are the 1%: but they aren't worth so much sympathy that we should significantly hurt the lives of the other 99%.
Couple hundred far-left kids out of country of 300 million ... probably not gonna add up to 99%
Also local news human interest stories are the best thing to base policy on, amirite? Mandatory dentist visit, banning all mining and oil exploration, reverse mortgages and nursing homes is obviously the answer.

Not there since it's the other side of the country. I support a good portion of the protest, though the irony and stupidity of much of it is humorous as well.

Obama is not at fault here. He inherited this from the previous administration.
There is a lot of jobs out but there are alot of people looking and applying.
Money market and cd are safe but inflation and low interest rate will eat all of it in the long run. Sneaky

Q: What is the function of emitter biasing of a transistor? I have been reading about transistor biasing to counteract inaccuracies in transistor manufacture, add stability etc.
One circuit I can't see the benefit in, which is diagrammed in the datasheet for the PEMD17, has a resistor between the emitter and base. Of all of the standard biasing configurations I've read about, I've not read about this one. It looks just like a voltage divider on the input signal.
From the datasheet, I would expect to ground pin 1, apply a signal at 2 to control a load at pin 6. The R2 seems to have no benefit other than to alter the base input.
The following diagram shows how I would expect to use the circuit. Is that application incorrect?

simulate this circuit – Schematic created using CircuitLab

A: R2 is there so that the circuit is in a defined state when there's no signal on R1.
If you have a high or a low on the input at R1, then the circuit works like you expect - it switches the load on when the input is high and off when it is low.
If R1 is left open (remove the signal generator from your diagram,) then stray voltages and currents may appear on the base of Q1.  That can randomly turn your load on or off - or somewhere inbetween.
R2 pulls the base of Q1 down to zero volts so that the load is off when there's no input on R1.

Consider a microcontroller driving a small motor through a transistor.
At power on, the output pins of many modern microcontrollers can be undefined - they are high impedance (open) until your code says to set them to output mode at a particular level.  Until your code executes, the output is floating.  If  there's any electrical noise in the vicinity, enough current may flow through the base of the transistor to cause the motor to run.
If you have a pull down on the base of the transistor, then the stray voltages will have to be very substantial to make the motor run.  That pull down makes the system stable during start up.

Q: how to post on google plus, getting ActivityNotFoundException buddies i am following api-doc here https://developers.google.com/+/mobile/android/getting-started, as in this they told to register app on apis/console, i registered it and got Client Id, but don't know where to use this id.
I want to post on wall (Streams) programatically, i got one example in this doc like below code
Intent shareIntent = new PlusShare.Builder(this)
    .setType("text/plain")
    .setText("Welcome to the Google+ platform.")
    .setContentUrl(Uri.parse("https://developers.google.com/+/"))
    .getIntent();
startActivityForResult(shareIntent,0);

but when i run it i am getting ActivityNotFound Exception, can you please tell me how can i resolve it,
If you require more info about my issue, i can share my code here. Thanks

A: To clarify one point, you cannot share automatically. The user does have control over sharing and confirms the sharing and the content.
You should check that the user has the Google+ app installed and not disabled before you launch the share intent.
int errorCode = GooglePlusUtil.checkGooglePlusApp(this);
if (errorCode != GooglePlusUtil.SUCCESS) {
  GooglePlusUtil.getErrorDialog(errorCode, this, 0).show();
}

GooglePlusUtil is in the Google Play Services SDK

A: As your are getting ActivityNotFoundException, it means you either not have such Activity or not registered that,
for now i think you don't have it. So please make sure that you have google+ application installed in you mobile phone, if not then install it first, run it, then it will the required Activity.

Strengthening and Enhancing Cybersecurity for the 21st Century
By Tony Scott
From the beginning of the Administration, the President has made it clear that cybersecurity is one of the most important challenges we face as a Nation. It is also an ever-growing and constantly changing challenge. For years, whenever I've spoken with private and public sector leaders, I've regularly asked them how much time they spend on cyber and related issues. And each year, the answers have been a higher proportion of their time than the year before. Today, any responsible leader of an organization – public or private sector – is dedicating significant attention and resources to addressing evolving cyber threats. And for good reason.
Malicious actors take advantage of relatively inexpensive and easily accessible tools to attack systems and infrastructure – targeting applications and computing environments that weren't designed to withstand the diversity and severity of the cyber threats we face today. Nowhere is this problem more acute than in government, where antiquated systems and processes are still pervasive. That is why the Administration is executing a broad strategy to enhance the Federal Government's cybersecurity, including both our defensive and offensive capabilities, to tackle today's increasingly sophisticated cyber actors. Since 2009, the Administration has shifted the paradigm of how our government views the defense of its networks: Directing a comprehensive Cyberspace Policy Review in order to assess U.S. policies and structures for cybersecurity; Making cybersecurity one of the Administration's first cross-agency priority management goals; Leveraging cutting edge tools like the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) EINSTEIN and Continuous Diagnostics & Mitigation (CDM) program; and, Proposing commonsense legislation that enhances information sharing and establishes data breach standards while also protecting the personal data and privacy of citizens.
Last month, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) launched a 30-day Cybersecurity Sprint to assess and improve the health of all Federal assets and networks, both civilian and military. As part of the Sprint, OMB directed agencies to further protect Federal information, improve the resilience of our networks, and report on their successes and challenges. Agencies were instructed to immediately patch critical vulnerabilities, review and tightly limit the number of privileged users with access to authorized systems, and dramatically accelerate the use of strong authentication, especially for privileged users. All of these actions reduce the risk of adversaries penetrating Federal networks.
One of the most significant steps any organization can take to reduce the risk of adversaries penetrating networks and systems is requiring the use of a hardware-based Personal Identity Verification (PIV) card or an alternative form of strong authentication. Over the course of the Sprint, agencies made significant progress in this area: Federal Civilian agencies increased their use of strong authentication for privileged and unprivileged users from 42 percent to 72 percent – an increase of 30 percent since agencies last reported their quarterly data on Performance.gov. (see below) Specifically, Federal civilian agencies increased their use of strong authentication for privileged users from 33 percent to nearly 75 percent – an increase of more than 40 percent since agencies last reported their quarterly data on Performance.gov. Thirteen agencies, or more than half of the largest agencies – including the Departments of Transportation, Veterans Affairs, and the Interior – have implemented the same level of strong authentication for nearly 95 percent of their privileged users.
Since 2011, Federal agencies have made publicly available on Performance.gov their quarterly progress on meeting the Administration's cybersecurity cross-agency priority (CAP) goals, including their progress on implementing strong authentication. Here's how the Cybersecurity Sprint compared against previous quarterly performance metrics on implementing strong authentication.
Federal civilian CFO Act agencies do not include DOD or Intelligence Community agencies. This chart does not include DOD, as the size of DOD could partially alter the government-wide rate; however, DOD participated in the Cyber Sprint and their results are included on the site. For purposes of this report, this is consistent with and continues the standard we have used in previously published Cross Agency Priority reports.
While these statistics are just a few examples of a marked improvement in identifying and closing the gaps in the Federal cyber infrastructure, we still have more work to do. The work of addressing cyber risks is never done. Agencies are reducing the number of privileged users and working with DHS to scan their networks on an ongoing basis for known critical vulnerabilities. Additionally, agencies continue to train employees to recognize and report phishing attempts to introduce malware into Federal networks. But malicious actors aren't slowing down. As their efforts become more sophisticated, frequent, and impactful, so must ours. Although the Sprint may have come to a conclusion, it is only one leg of a marathon to build upon progress made, identify challenges, and continuously strengthen our defenses.
To accelerate and amplify the work and objectives of the Sprint, a team of over 100 experts from across the government and private industry are now leading a review of the Federal Government's cybersecurity policies, procedures, and practices. Ultimately, the team's assessment will inform and operationalize a set of action plans and strategies to further address critical cybersecurity priorities and recommend a Cybersecurity Sprint Strategy and Implementation Plan to be released in the coming months.
At the same time, we need help from our partners in Congress. Decades of underfunding and years of uncertainty in budgets and resourcing for strategic and critical IT capabilities like cybersecurity have contributed to the current unsustainable state of the Federal Government's networks. We now have an opportunity and a pressing need to come together as a government and a nation to change our approach. The best way for any industry executive or agency leader to ensure the security of their networks is to have the resources they need and the certainty to deploy those resources. That is why it is critical Congress lift the harmful spending cuts known as sequestration and provide agencies certainty in their budgets, to improve their planning, and their ability to forecast and acquire the necessary resources for addressing emerging cyber threats. The President's 2016 Budget lifts these reckless cuts and proposes $14 billion, or a $1.4 billion (11 percent) increase in cyber activities to strengthen U.S. cybersecurity defenses and allow the Federal Government to more rapidly protect American citizens, systems, and information from cyber threats. Additionally, the President has been calling for cybersecurity legislation since 2011, and re-proposed legislation this past January. Congress must act as soon as possible to pass legislation that will facilitate greater information sharing and help the Nation better defend itself against cyber attacks.
This is a key moment in our Nation's history. As the number of threats continue to increase, affecting both the public and private sector, we must take aggressive and decisive steps to protect our networks and information. Our economy, and the credibility and viability of our most cherished and valuable institutions depend on a strong foundation of trust and the protection of critical assets and information. But let me be clear: there are no one-shot silver bullets. Cyber threats cannot be eliminated entirely, but they can be managed much more effectively. And we can best do this by aligning and focusing our efforts, by properly funding necessary cyber investments, by building strong partnerships across government and industry, and by drawing on the best ideas and talent from across the country to tackle this quintessential problem of the 21stcentury.

"I don't do it for the accolades," says Dan Matejka, of Goodview, who won an award for community service from Minnesota State College Southeast.
BestPrep's Stock Market Game provides an opportunity for students to learn all about stocks, plus the risks and rewards of investing.
Byron students took second and third place in the High School Division of the Minnesota SMG competition. The second-place team of students included Jace Babcockand Nick Bjellum. The third-place team was comprised of Brady Helget, Kirsten Nelsonand Kayle Pierce.
Byron business and technology teacher Josh Bernardsintroduced the game to the students in his personal finance class. Between the support from BestPrep, a nonprofit dedicated to providing students with financial literacy skills, and funding from the Charles Schwab Foundation, the Byron students were able to participate in "real life" experiences related to investing.
Bernards said that the majority of his students had very little exposure to stocks and investing prior to their participation. Over the course of 14 weeks, working in pairs or teams of three, students were "given" a virtual $100,000 to invest and compete with others for the portfolio with the highest dollar value.
Bernards provided his students with a basic background on investment.
"After we had a base knowledge, we spent some time on some simple games and simulations for the students to see first-hand the consequences of the decisions they made without the pressure or stakes of real investing," he said.
Describing his students' progress and success, Bernards said, "I think this iteration of the game was an excellent real-life example of how important a long-term viewpoint is when it comes to investing. Neither of these groups was anywhere near the top of the leader board to begin with, but they made small adjustments and waited for the market to correct itself. They benefited from their patience in the market and confidence in the companies in which they bought shares."
Whether they become stockbrokers or not, these Byron students now have a strong financial foundation going forward.
Dan Matejkaof Goodview was honored last month with the "Outstanding Alumni of the Year–Winona" award from Minnesota State College Southeast.
Matejka, who earned a degree in accounting from the school in 1984, was recognized for both his achievements professionally and his service to the community.
Dan described his excellent education and "the doors it opened" for him. His career path has taken him from working as an accountant for the Winona Area Public School District to serving as the business manager for the La Crescent-Hokah School District to his present position as Goodview's city administrator. Although Dan grew up in Winona, as a 30-year resident of Goodview he certainly has what he describes as "a vested interest" in his home community.
Matejka grew up with his parents modeling service to others. His mother told him, "You treat others the way you want to be treated."
Dan helped his father every Tuesday night calling bingo at their church. "God gave me gifts and I want to extend that, " Dan said.
Whether he is raising money for the community or serving on a board for a local nonprofit, Dan wants to "pay it back." Currently, he is working with Project Fine, an organization helping refugees make a new life in the United States.
Dan said he was "truly honored" to receive the award but "I don't do it for the accolades." He said, "Lots of organizations need help and everyone has a talent."

Q: Encoding Error, Beautiful soup in Python I have a HTML that is being read by BeautifulSoup and it finds a certain label in there.
        availabilityList = []
        for label in soup.find(id=studyroom).select('li.zone label'):
            a = label.get_text()
            b = a.encode('ascii','ignore')
            availabilityList.extend(b)
        #this part below doesn't work
        ','.join(availabilityList)

I used the encode to remove the u at the beginning of the list but this i still get a weird error.
The print availabilityList is
['R', 'o', 'o', 'm', ' ', '2', '2', '5', ' ', '1', '0', ':', '0', '0', ' ', 'A', 'M', 'R', 'o', 'o', 'm', ' ', '2', '2', .....]

I just need a list with a strings.
The join function doesn't work
availabilityList = [Room 225 10:00 AM, Room 225 11:00 AM...]

A: availabilityList.extend(b)

is going to treat b as a list. In this case a list of characters and extend availabilityList with it.
You need to be doing:
availabilityList.append(b)

This is what I mean:
>>> a_list = []
>>> a = 'text'
>>> a_list.append(a)
>>> a_list
['text']
>>> b = 'new_text'
>>> a_list.extend(b)
>>> a_list
['text', 'n', 'e', 'w', '_', 't', 'e', 'x', 't']

Note the difference append and extend made.

A: I do not think the error is with BeautifulSoup but rather with your use of the extend function instead of the append function.
The correct line 4 of the above code would be : availabilityList.append(b)
Basically what happens is that the string in "b" gets treated like a list of characters and each character gets appended at the end of "availabilityList".
Take a look here to see the difference between extend and append.

Operator overloading allows programmers to build types which feel as natural to use as simple types (int, long, etc.). C# implements a stricter version of operator overloading in C++, but it allows classes such as the quintessential example of operator-overloading, the complex number class, to work well.
In C#, the == operator is a non-virtual (operators can't be virtual) method of the object class which compares by reference. When you build a class, you may define your own == operator. If you are using your class with collections, then you should implement the IComparable interface. This interface has one method to implement, called the CompareTo (object) method, which should return positive, negative, or 0 if "this" is greater, less than, or the same value as the object. You may choose to define <, <=, >=, > methods if you want users of your class to have a nicer syntax. The numeric types (int, long, etc) implement the IComparable interface.
You could also add the <, <=, >=, > operators to the score class. C# ensures at compile time that operators which are logically paired (!= and ==, > and <, >= and <=), must both be defined.

Caldwell Elementary in McKinney more than doubles funds raised with new campaign
By Miranda Jaimes | 11:43 AM Oct 20, 2022 CDT
Updated 11:43 AM Oct 20, 2022 CDT

McKinney ISD's Caldwell Elementary Parent-Teacher Organization more than doubled funds raised this year during an inaugural month of kindness campaign.
Previous fundraising efforts from the PTO involved reaching out to local businesses, PTO Fundraising Chair Allison Monroe said. Caldwell is unique among MISD's schools, she said. It is the only dual-language campus in MISD and is also a Title 1 and Title 3 public school.
"[Caldwell] really, really struggles as a Title 1 [school] with being under-resourced," Monroe said. "Schools on the west side, whose PTO and [Parent-Teacher Associations] bring in more than $100,000 in funding every year, are able to really supplement enrichment programs and resources for teachers and to have all of those tools and things available. But ... we've really struggled with that at Caldwell."
About 62% of students during the 2021-22 school year at Caldwell were economically disadvantaged, according to data from the Texas Education Agency. Almost 40% of the students were English learners, and almost all students were Title 1 students, the 2021-22 data shows.
This presents a fundraising challenge, Monroe said, which the PTO addressed with a new campaign titled Raise Craze.
Starting Sept. 6 and going through Sept. 23, students were challenged with completing acts of kindness and getting sponsors.
During the fundraiser, students set up a Raise Craze account where they requested donations via email. During the fundraiser, students paid donations forward by completing acts of kindness for others, according to a news release.
"We're doing a whole month of community service, and our goal is to do 1,000 acts of kindness or community service projects," Monroe said. "The kids can participate in this entire program without having to give money. They can win awards, and they can get incentives, and they can get the pizza party and the medals and all those things just by doing service."
Students were provided with a list of activities they could choose from and participate in. They collected donations for local charities, made tissue flower gifts for residents at a local nursing home, wrote thank you notes to cafeteria workers and first responders, completed extra chores, picked up trash as Towne Lake, and more.
"To bring the whole community together around service has been incredibly rewarding," Monroe said.
Last year the PTO met its $7,000 fundraising goal by participating in North Texas Giving Day, ultimately raising $8,250. This year, the PTO had a goal to raise $20,000. In the end it raised $23,600, with the majority of funds coming from within the Caldwell community, she said.
In addition, 1,837 acts of kindness were completed by Caldwell students, according to a news release.
The funds raised will go toward field trips for students; building an outdoor learning space in the campus' courtyard; student enrichment programs, such as after-school programs; and teacher support and appreciation, Monroe said.
"It's really important for us that we make our teachers feel loved and appreciated, and that they also have all the things that they need on campus," she said.

Vegan Meat, Cannabis and Other Totally Out-There Stocks Dominating 2019
It could pay off to bet on these innovative companies.
By Joel Anderson Jun 10, 2019 Stocks 101
You can invest in almost anything. While retirement saving might typically involve a lot more stable companies in established industries, once you start to delve into some of the riskier, newer public companies, you can start to get into a world of crazy new technology and novel approaches. The most "out-there" stocks aren't the things to build your nest egg around, but that doesn't mean you should completely ignore the chance to invest in a potentially revolutionary new product.
And in 2019, there's no shortage of revolutionary ideas that are dominating the conversation. From meat that's not meat to digital money that only exists in the cloud to selling marijuana legally and out in the open, there are a lot of stocks with exciting new ideas behind them that you can invest in now. And while not all are showing world-beating performance to this point — especially after the recent market downturn over trade war woes — the inherent possibilities of the basic underpinning of their business has them getting the lion's share of attention from investors in search of the next big thing.
As long as the majority of your portfolio is dedicated to investment-grade bonds and stable, large-cap stocks, seeking out some fun stocks to invest in on the side can be a great way to stay engaged with your investing. And who knows? You might even get lucky and score massive success. So, here's a closer look at some of the companies with the strangest, most out-there products and technology driving their business models.
Beyond Meat, Inc. (BYND)
Current Price: $138.65
2019 Performance: 454.6%
Beyond Meat has been the focus of plenty of excitement as the company is hitting the market with a product that could really change the world of food forever: meatless meat. The company makes the Beyond Burger, a plant-based faux meat patty that's garnered rave reviews from those who have tried it. The first day of trading after the company's May IPO saw shares shoot up to 163% above its IPO price of $25 to $65.75 a share.
Etsy (ETSY)
2019 Performance: 34.3%
If you're thinking to yourself, "everyone knows about Etsy, why is that so 'totally out there?'" maybe you need to take a big step back. Wall Street is falling over itself for a chance to invest in a company that is essentially a for-profit version of the arts and crafts cabin at summer camp. Just because you're accustomed to that reality doesn't mean it's not "out there."
Etsy has been on a tear since it debuted on public markets. After its IPO set a share price of $16 for the first day of trading back in 2015, Etsy has since cleared $60 a share — nearly quadrupling its value in about four years.
Riot Blockchain (RIOT)
There are few "out-there" ideas that have captivated the investing world more than cryptocurrency, the digital money that some see as the future of commerce. However, it's been something of a wild ride as this entirely new market continues to come into existence.
That leaves a wide variety of opportunities — from owning bitcoin to investing in firms trying to find new applications for blockchain technology. One, though, is Riot Blockchain, a cryptocurrency company that is publicly traded. Formerly a biotech company called Bioptix, Riot mines bitcoin and invests in blockchain technology.
Nvidia (NVDA)
2019 Performance: 9%
Nvidia is a visual computing company that makes powerful graphics processing chips that are an essential part of video games and computers. However, what's really become a major source of excitement for the company is the role those processors are playing in the development of self-driving technology — that's the "out-there" part of this stock. Nvidia's chips could end up being the onboard brains that allow autonomous cars to take in their surroundings and keep passengers safe all the way to their destinations. The stock might not be skyrocketing right now, but this company is dominating a lot of the conversation.
Intuitive Surgical (ISRG)
2019 Performance: 4.2%
If you're the sort of person who finds the idea of robots driving cars terrifying, you might want to skip this slide. That's because Intuitive Surgical is working on robots that can conduct surgery — and that's something people are definitely talking about. The company's main product is the da Vinci surgical system, which surgeons can use to perform surgeries in a less intrusive manner and with a higher success rate.
Soliton (SOLY)
For a lot of people, the assumption might be that if there was a way to remove tattoos with sound, the three-straight hours of angry yelling your ink received from your parents would have already done it. However, the folks at Soliton didn't see it that way. This company has developed a way to use a rapid acoustic pulse (RAP) device to use shockwaves of sound to accelerate the process of removing a tattoo — among other potential applications.
GW Pharmaceuticals (GWPH)
The ever-changing landscape of marijuana regulation in the United States has made for something of a strange balance. Much of the American population lives in states where it's legal for use either recreationally or medically, but it remains illegal at the federal level. However, British firm GW Pharmaceutical isn't messing with any sort of iffy legal landscape. It's developed epidiolex, the first treatment derived from the marijuana plant that's received FDA approval. The drug is used to treat seizures in two rare diseases.

Aurora Cannabis (ACB)
2019 Performance: 54%
Of course, with the growing legalization efforts throughout the United States, Canada and Europe, you're also starting to see something entirely new: legal, publicly-traded companies that are growing and selling marijuana. One such company is the Edmonton-based Aurora Cannabis, which produces and distributes cannabis and cannabis products for medical use.
Canopy Growth Corporation (CGC)
Canadian-based cannabis producer Canopy Growth Corporation is another firm that is taking a practice that's been illicit for decades and bringing the efficiency of a modern corporation to bear on the business.

Collector's Universe (CLCT)
Plenty of people have horror stories about how the Mickey Mantle rookie card they chewed up in their bicycle spokes for kicks is now worth a few hundred bucks, but it speaks to the way the market for memorabilia of all sorts can be hard to read. However, Collector's Universe has an ideal seat at the table, offering its services in authenticating and grading various rare coins, cards and other objects for collectors big and small.
Plug Power (PLUG)
While lithium-ion batteries that power electric cars like Tesla get the lion's share of the attention, hydrogen fuel cell technology is a similar technology with a variety of applications that could help it become an exciting green tech for the future. Essentially, hydrogen fuel cells work by combining hydrogen with oxygen to create water and harvesting the energy released in the process.
Plug Power is among the industry leaders in the field, building fuel cells that can power everything from forklifts to city buses.
Ballard Power Systems (BLDP)
Of course, Plug Power isn't the only player in the fuel cell game. Ballard Power Systems also develops a variety of options for the application of the technology, offering energy for everything from heavy equipment to unmanned drones — all with the only byproduct being water.
Conformis (CFMS)
2019 Performance: 1,154.2%
The act of simply replacing a person's joint as it breaks down later in life would be something of an anathema to someone living 100 years ago. However, knee replacement surgeries today help people remain relatively mobile well into old age even if they're suffering from serious issues with their joints. And in the case of Conformis, the company can make individual, customized replacement knees that are tailored to the specific patient — making their name something of a misnomer.
Illumina (ILMN)
The original human genome project took some 13 years to complete and cost $2.7 billion. As such, the fact that genetic sequencing company Illumina can now do it in under a day must be, well, a little frustrating to some of the scientists who sank years of their lives into revolutionizing the science of genetics. Illumina, meanwhile, is partnering with major companies to make its fast, cheap gene sequencing more accessible to the world. Despite this stock not growing as quickly as some others, with what the company is doing, there are plenty of reasons to believe it'll be talked about for a while.
Broadwind Energy, Inc. (BWEN)
Despite the assertion by plenty of market watchers that wind power wasn't realistic, and the entire industry was simply tilting at windmills, the growth of the use of turbines for electricity has grown dramatically. And one such company cashing in on this boom is Broadwind Energy, building wind power turbines and systems to help people turn a blustery day into power.

Hey, Mr Tamborine Man
(With thanks to @ForrestGumpp for the title, and for reminding me of Dylan's song)
I'm sitting in the Mt Tamborine library, availing myself of free wireless for three hours. It's the most delightful little library I've seen in a long time, the kind of library in children's story books with jolly librarians and interesting-looking customers. Something fantastical could happen in this library.
Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship…
Mrs Chook sits opposite me, researching some nasty-sounding nasal surgery she's been guaranteed will fix her blocked nose. She keeps asking me to tell her if she ought to have it done or not, but why anyone would ask my opinion on something like that, let alone someone who knows me as well as Mrs Chook does, I don't know. I can't even decide what to have for breakfast, after four months of sustained stress that has left me exhausted, and second-guessing every step I take.
My weariness amazes me…
We're here because my Archie family has just moved up from the coast to live here, but now they've gone to Hawaii and we're looking after the dogs and luxuriating in the panoramic views from their front windows, views that stretch from the Gold Coast to Mt Warning. It's about five degrees cooler than the coast and a good deal less humid. Watching the sun rise out of the sea made me teary this morning. Followed by a hike through an enchanting palm grove with enormous and ancient red carabeen trees, then coffee, lime and coconut scones at a North Tamborine cafe and the world is looking a whole lot better than it did a few days ago.
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow…
In the forest we startled large groups of what look like very small wallabies, Mrs Chook is researching them as well to find out what they are. They squatted, staring at us gravely and with surprising trust.
We just had a fight about a picture she says is them and I say isn't. This may not end well.
I haven't watched the news, read a paper, or given a stuff about politics and politicians, so I have nothing to contribute to whatever is going on. All I know is when you just can't take anymore, head for the natural world and immerse.
Let me forget about today until tomorrow…
But…Campbell Newman is doing his best to stuff up Queensland's natural beauty, and the mayor of the Gold Coast is trying for a cable car from Surfers to the top of the mountain. It never feckin ends, does it?
Hey ! Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.
Though I know that evenin's empire has returned into sand
Vanished from my hand
Left me blindly here to stand but still not sleeping
My weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feet
I have no one to meet
And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming.
My senses have been stripped, my hands can't feel to grip
My toes too numb to step, wait only for my boot heels
To be wanderin'
I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade
Into my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way
I promise to go under it.
Though you might hear laughin', spinnin' swingin' madly across the sun
It's not aimed at anyone, it's just escapin' on the run
And but for the sky there are no fences facin'
And if you hear vague traces of skippin' reels of rhyme
To your tambourine in time, it's just a ragged clown behind
I wouldn't pay it any mind, it's just a shadow you're
Seein' that he's chasing.
Then take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind
Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves
The haunted, frightened trees, out to the windy beach
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free
Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands
With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves
Let me forget about today until tomorrow.

It's true we're not suited to living the way we do – but we do it anyway, because we've grown so accustomed to being stimulated by external sources that we've forgotten how to do it for ourselves.
Except when it comes to masturbation.. but then that's stating the obvious isn't it.

Thank you Jennifer. Mt Tamborine is one of my most favoured places. When we lived in Queensland (we left in 2005 but where back last year, too briefly) it was a place of resort at all seasons. It's magical in the "winter" for those of us with northern hemisphere roots – chill enough to evoke an echo of your genetic heritage but not cold enough to remind you exactly why it was that you left your former domicile 🙂 and a relief in the warmer and more humid bits of summer.
It doesn't need a cable car from the Gold Coast (horrid idea). It needs to be left for its own community – an eclectic one – to decide what measures of progress are desirable on the mountain.
Jennifer Wilson December 3, 2012 at 2:16 pm #
I completely agree with you. The community here seems unusually engaged and committed, I love it.

I think perhaps the credit you have awarded me for the title is due to HDRebner, Jennifer.
@NoPlaceforSheep @watermelon_man THREE ticks? You must have been a good girl! Have you met Mr Tamborine man yet?
— HD Rebner (@hdrebner) December 3, 2012
I, after all, only mentioned the Dogfriendliness of the St Bernard Hotel.
@NoPlaceforSheep Mt Tamborine gets a tick for being Dog friendly. It has the St Bernard Hotel!
— Forrest Gumpp (@ForrestGumpp) December 3, 2012
But then again, I am only, on occasions, in The Dog's head, not yours, so who am I to say what brought what to who's mind. Enjoy your cocktails at the St Bernard.
And if by any chance you should come to be on the Gorge Rd, or traveling north on the Beechmont Rd, at the southern end of Mt Tamborine at dusk, you might get to see 'the emu on the hill' if you look up at the mountain.
samjandwich December 3, 2012 at 2:31 pm #
Except that if Mt Tambourine has a tick then you probably shouldn't take your dog there.

The imbecilic cable car idea. It really is the sort Bjelke Petersen crass trick that had the rest of Australia loathing QLD during that era.
To save Mrs Chook the money, volunteer to do it yourself. Wolf or Black and Decker have all the gear.
Would Jane volunteer to help restrain Mrs Chook during proceedings if she were asked and the Dog could surely clean up afterwards?
God bless the PM!

Of course of the two main versions of the song it can only be Dylan for mine. The Byrds version was a more polished and harmonious, possibly even more popular, but the poetry of the verse is what matters and for that I feel Dylan's rendition speaks to me more. 🙂
Yes, if you had a choice as to who would be perched on the edge of your childhood bed,singing you to sleep it would certainly be The Byrds.
I'd now like to offer up some contemporary poetry (song lyrics) for Gotye,on the current dilemma/s and that of the real and present 'big picture' issues of apathy,climate change and the zipped mouth topic of population.
(BTW The song is a 'whole', in that musically and lyrically it works well to capture Wally's concern, and his obvious concern for us on this big blue ball.
"Do yourself a favour…")
GOTYE LYRICS
With our eyes wide open, we…
So this is the end of the story,
Everything we had, everything we did,
Is buried in dust,
And this dust is all that's left of us.
But only a few ever worried.
Well the signs were clear, they had no idea.
You just get used to living in fear,
Or give up when you can't even picture your future.
We walk the plank with our eyes wide open.
We walk the plank with our eyes wide open, we…
(Walk the plank with our eyes wide open, we…)
Yeah, we walk the plank with our eyes wide open, we…
(Walk the plank with our eyes wide open.)
Some people offered up answers.
We made out like we heard, they were only words.
They didn't add up to a change in the way we were living,
And the saddest thing is all of it could have been avoided.
But it was like to stop consuming's to stop being human,
And why would I make a change if you won't?
We're all in the same boat, staying afloat for the moment.
Yeah we walk the plank with our eyes wide open, we…
We walk the plank with our eyes wide open,
With our eyes wide open, we walk the plank, we walk the plank.
With our eyes wide open, we walk the plank, we walk the plank, we walk the plank.
That was the end of the story.
Nice enough song and heck'uva good sentiment, but will we be listening to it in 47 years?
HG,
You knew I would say this……but………….
The answer my friend
Is blowin' in the wind,
(Or maybe our species will be?)

While we're in the Dylan mode :
Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son ?
And where have you been my darling young one ?
I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains
I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways
I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests
I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans
I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
Oh, what did you see, my blue eyed son ?
And what did you see, my darling young one ?
I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin'
I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin'
I saw a white ladder all covered with water
I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken
I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children
And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son ?
And what did you hear, my darling young one ?
I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warnin'
I heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world
I heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin'
I heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin'
I heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin'
Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
Oh, who did you meet my blue-eyed son ?
Who did you meet, my darling young one ?
I met a young child beside a dead pony
I met a white man who walked a black dog
I met a young woman whose body was burning
I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow
I met one man who was wounded in love
I met another man who was wounded and hatred
And what'll you do now, my blue-eyed son ?
And what'll you do now my darling young one ?
I'm a-goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a-fallin'
I'll walk to the deepths of the deepest black forest
Where the people are a many and their hands are all empty
Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters
Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison
Where the executioner's face is always well hidden
Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten
Where black is the color, where none is the number
And I'll tell and think it and speak it and breathe it
And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin'
But I'll know my songs well before I start singin'

Yes Hypo, but he got over the worst of it, went back to Judaism for a while and these days? Well I think he does us the enormous honour of keeping his religion to himself 🙂
There's hardly a Dylan Lyric that isn't capable of being read as poetry but for mine Desolation Row fits the style that typifies the best of his ballads. Like any song that stands out from a portfolio of classics this one has special connections that lead me to single it out for special mention. A time or a place of first hearing, or re-hearing perhaps when something makes a piece of music or poetry really stick in one's mind. I've told the story often enough of a bar in Beijing and a cover version by a Filipino artist with no more than a humble voice an old guitar and the wit and appreciation to come from a completely foreign culture and yet take the time to make that lyric his own, The connections we make?
The unofficial anthem for public servants everywhere – or at least it should be…:
Of war and peace the truth just twists
Its curfew gull just glides
Upon four-legged forest clouds
The cowboy angel rides
With his candle lit into the sun
Though its glow is waxed in black
All except when 'neath the trees of Eden.
The lamppost stands with folded arms
Its iron claws attached
To curbs 'neath holes where babies wail
Though it shadows metal badge
All and all can only fall
With a crashing but meaningless blow
No sound ever comes from the Gates of Eden.
The savage soldiers sticks his head in sand
And then complains
Unto the shoeless hunter who's gone deaf
But still remains
Upon the beach where hound dogs bay
At ships with tatooed sails
Heading for the Gates of Eden.
With a time-rusted compass blade
Alladin and his lamp
Sits with Utopian hermit monks
Side saddle on the Golden Calf
And on their promises of paradise
You will not hear a laugh
All except inside the Gates of Eden.
Relationships of ownership
They whisper in the wings
To those condemned to act accordingly
And wait for succeeding kings
And I will try to harmonize with songs
The lonesome sparrow sings
There are no kings inside the Gates of Eden.
The motorcycle black madonna
Two-wheeled gypsy queen
And her silver-studded phantom cause
The gray flannel dwarf to scream
As he weeps to wicked birds of prey
Who pick up on his bread crumb sins
And there are no sins inside the Gates of Eden.
The kingdoms of Experience
In the precious wind they rot
While paupers change possessions
Each one wishing for what the other has got
And the princess and the prince
Discuss what's real and what is not
It doesn't matter inside the Gates of Eden.
The foreign sun, it squints upon
A bed that is never mine
As friends and other strangers
From their fates try to resign
Leaving men wholly totally free
To do anything they wish to do but die
And there are no trials inside the Gates of Eden.
At dawn my lover comes to me
And tells me of her dreams
With no attempts to shovel the glimpse
Into the ditch of what each one means
At times I think there are no words
But these to tell what's true
And there are no truths outside the Gates of Eden.

The UK Guardian newspaper in recent days conducted an online poll for 'Person of the Year' for 2012. It was won convincingly by Bradley Manning with 70 percent of the vote. Here is how The Guardian reported the award: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/blog/2012/dec/10/bradley-manning-guardian-person-of-the-year-2012
The following two Twitpics are of screenshots covering the content of that web page as at shortly before the time of my posting here on 'Sheep', just in case page content yielded by the link should change, as sometimes occurs:
http://twitpic.com/bkx75p
http://twitpic.com/bkx7ml
As can be seen, the report was posted online at 1813 hours (6:13PM) GMT on Monday 10 December 2012, after a delay beyond the closure of the poll that had attracted some adverse comment upon Twitter.
Guardian still apparently sulking about Bradley Manning's landside win of 70% of the vote for Person of the Year. No news, no tweets.
— WikiLeaks (@wikileaks) December 9, 2012
That the poll had in fact closed at 1100 hours (11:00AM) GMT on Sunday 9 December 2012 is borne witness to by the fact that this tweet was able to link to a posting of the final result of the poll, as later to be confirmed by The Guardian, put up by Russia Tonight at 2:38PM Sunday 9 December 2012:
RT @RT_com Bradley Manning wins Guardian's 2012 Person of the Year vote http://t.co/toGOK5XI http://t.co/8X4IidO2 http://t.co/RAPT5HFl
Note that the last tweet is a retweet, and the time displaying is that at which the original tweet was posted.
Also note that, in the second sentence of the second paragraph of the Guardian report of the award, the poll is described as a "three-day poll".
The Guardian announced the opening of the poll in this news item posted at 11:00 (sic) [AM?] GMT Friday 7 December 2012: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/blog/poll/2012/dec/07/person-of-the-year-2012-vote?INTCMP=ILCNETTXT3487
And, just in case things change, here are the Twitpics of screenshots:
http://twitpic.com/bky7os
http://http://twitpic.com/bky82a
Now whilst it can be said that the Guardian 'Person of the Year' poll EXTENDED over three days, starting at 11:00AM GMT Friday 7, running all through Saturday 8, and finishing at 11:00AM GMT Sunday 9 December, that poll only ran, at most, for 48 hours. (I say 'at most' in acknowledgement of the ambiguous manner in which the item was timestamped as having been posted.) These distinctions are important in relation to the claims in the report of the award that "[the poll] was very much a game of two halves.", and that "… in the latter stages, following a series of tweets from the @Wikileaks twitter handle telling followers to vote Manning, thousands of voters flocked to his cause.".
The first tweet in this series to which the Guardian 'report of the award' refers was this one:
Vote for Bradley Manning as Guardian Person of the Year http://t.co/Zjl8n97y
It was made at 1:46AM GMT on Saturday 8 December 2012, either three+ or 15+ hours after the poll opened, depending upon whether the ambiguous timestamp on the item announcing the opening of the poll meant 11:00PM or 11:00AM GMT Friday 7 December. Had the poll opening occurred at 11:00AM GMT, it might have been expected that the Wikileaks 'electioneering' would have started earlier. I'm getting the feeling it might have in fact been only a 36-hour poll, but accepting The Guardian's possible typocolonic inference that it ran for 48 hours, that places the first Wikileaks electioneering tweet as having been made 15+ hours in, well short of the half-way point in the Guardian narrative of 'halves'.
The half-way point in TIME, if that was what The Guardian meant by half-way in the poll and if it was a 48-hour poll, would have been 11:00AM Saturday 8 December, at which TIME The Guardian claimed Malala Yousafzai had 70 percent of however many votes had by then been cast.
Just two and a half hours after the half-way point in time, Wikileaks was reporting that Manning had taken the lead.
Alleged WikiLeaks source Bradley Manning takes lead as Guardian Person of the Year 2012 http://t.co/Zjl8n97y #freebrad #anonymous @anonyops
Could it be that the narrative of the 'game of two halves' was necessary to save some face on The Guardian's part? Was the poll only in reality a 36-hour one in which Wikileaks as a legitimate, and perhaps the only identifiable, 'electioneer' for Bradley Manning was effectively being given a 3+hour handicap in a surprise opening of a poll in which the bulk of what vote there was for the runner-up candidate came in during that head start period? I find the alliterative effect of the claim of 70 percent of the vote being for Yousafzai at the half-way point, juxtaposed against Manning's winning of 70 percent of the total vote cast at finality, just too curious by half.
Could it be that the delaying of a result announcement article by over a day after the result was in fact known by The Guardian was not so much 'sulking', as claimed by Wikileaks, but seen as being necessary to reinforce an impression upon the public that it had run a three-day (ie. 72-hour) poll, when in fact it had not?
Wouldn't it have been good if the public could have got to know the absolute numbers of votes cast as progressive totals were posted, not just manipulable uninformative percentages? Talk about dumbing things down!

Sounds ridiculous to me. If enough people/email addresses can be mobilised, Assad might have been voted person of the year, or perhaps Cardinal Pell.
It means absolutely nothing.

Only in the case of the two current 'big' choices 'immobilises' might be a more appropriate term.Like a press gang.
doug quixote December 12, 2012 at 10:33 am #
Hypo, do you ever think before posting?
"Our election process" features compulsory voting, where every person over the age of 18 years is required to vote.
And to vote only once.
Please, please, engage brain before posting.
Hypocritophobe December 12, 2012 at 10:52 am #
Macabre,
Pot/Kettle/Black you.
Please, please, engage 'your' brain before posting.
I'd say 'press gang' is a pretty good euphemism for how faux Labor has dealt with leadership issues and policy by faction.According to the writers of political history,the punters really wanted Gillard, not Rudd.
And face it, if enough sheepies can be 'mentally mobilised' by the MSM anyone can get voted in.
"Intellectual press ganging" if you like.
(You would have lived through a few incidents of govts getting unvoted via a relentless media blitz?)
And BTW please quit the lecture on how our voting system works.I know how it works, 'mechanically'.I also know that that does not equate to good members or good governance.Or even a reflection of the community's aspirations.
Duped is a word that springs to mind.And the apologist mantra of 'getting the government we deserve' is totally wrong AFAIK.The current case in point.
Thanks for your kind words, though. I'm happy to see you expose that generous superiority you have.

.@vexnews There's more to this story than meets the eye: http://t.co/1gHVYiXY Looks like The Guardian made false claims about poll duration.

Just so that anyone following this story understands the Wikileaks view upon how The Guardian conducted, and subsequently reported upon, its own 'Person of the Year 2012' poll, I have posted here a series of @wikileaks tweets in sequence from first to last (ie. in reverse order to how they would normally be seen in a Twitter timeline). Just because I have listed them does not mean that I necessarily endorse all the Wikileaks interpretations of steps in the sequence.
The Guardian's recent Person of the Year fiasco is illustrative of how the UK establishment and modern media work. Points follow (1-10).
— WikiLeaks (@wikileaks) December 10, 2012
1. Decide to push pro-war Afghan war line by exploiting wounded girls similar to this CIA report released by WL http://t.co/cQq90tsv
2. Front load the Guardian "Person of the Year" list with the target that will let the Guardian rip on and on about the evil Taliban.
3. This week, that's Malala, a 14 year old girl reportedly shot in the head by the Taliban who has been exploited by the pro-war lobby
4. Create the Guardian candidate list and front load it with the intended winner (Malala)
5. To make readers feel like it's not a sham, offer to have other entrants nominated. The Guardian did not have Manning as a candidate.
6. A reader nominated Manning.. Accept him onto the list because they think he has no chance. Squeeze the list to a mere 6 contenstants.
7. Give the preferred candidate a) the only picture b) prime position c) additional stories manipulate the vote.
8. Due to provinciality at the Guardian it's impossible for the Guardian to imagine any other Candidate would win in their UK bubbleverse.
9, When democracy breaks out and Manning wins the vote by a landslide 70% at first simply pretend nothing happened at all. Say nothing.
10. Finally after the whole world is printing who won, issue a sulking statement marginalising the vote, voters, the winner and…
This about sums it all up:
Guardian horrified that popularity contest turns out to be popularity contest http://t.co/l02BwG0q
My earlier post in this thread on December 11, 2012 at 5:19 pm, ( https://noplaceforsheep.com/2012/12/03/hey-mr-tamborine-man/#comment-59129 ) was essentially an amplification of @Wikileaks point 10, with some observations as to misrepresentations by The Guardian as to how it had conducted its own poll.
A mouse-over of the time on the first Wikileaks 'electioneering' tweet after the opening of the poll reveals that it was made at 2:46:17 PM UTC (GMT), three and three quarters of an hour after the opening of the 48-hour poll, NOT halfway through it as claimed in the Guardian item reporting (minimising?) its outcome.
By 2:26:34 AM UTC (GMT) on Saturday 8 December Wikileaks was reporting that Bradley Manning had taken the lead in the poll. This was seven and a half hours BEFORE the halfway point of the poll, 11:00 AM GMT Saturday 8 December, the latter being the point at which The Guardian later claimed Malala Yousafzai to have had 70 percent of the votes. Both claims cannot be correct, and since the Wikileaks claim would have been instantly checkable in real time by anyone visiting the Guardian page, on the balance of probabilities it is likely to have been the correct one.
One can only conclude that the bulk of the vote for Malala Yousafzai must have come in during the 3+ hours before the first electioneering tweet by wikileaks, and that it was at around that point in the polling that she could have been reported as leading with 70 percent of however many votes as had by then been cast. It almost seems as if Wikileaks was taken by surprise by the opening of the Guardian poll. Which if it was to have been so, begs the question as to how the votes during the earlier hours of the poll contained such an apparent concentration of support for Yousafzai amongst their number.
Only The Guardian could tell us, but if it did, could we believe it?

O'ahu, Hawai'i. Sandy Beach Park. March 23, 2010. Photograph, Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX01, Leica Wide Lens.
I am in Hawai'i for a week, in the beautiful island of O'ahu, 'The Gathering Place'. I will compile an album of my favorite shots upon my return; for now, I just want to share this view of Sandy Beach Park, a true-to-life Luminist painting. The water was of at least five shades of blue, and where it turned aqua the golden sand mixed with the shallow shore, to create soft sandy tones…a live watercolor. I never saw sand so yellow, granular, perfect.
We reached this beach after a scooter ride following the coastal roads, from our starting point of Waikiki, Honolulu. I can now say I rode a scooter through the mountains of Hawai'i: the road was pretty Montecarlo-like, but the journey was worth it.
