What is a 401(k) plan and how does it work?
A 401(k) is a retirement savings and investing plan that employers offer. A 401(k) plan gives employees a tax break on money they contribute. Contributions are automatically withdrawn from employee paychecks and invested in funds of the employee's choosing (from a list of available offerings). The accounts have an annual contribution limit of $22,500 in 2023 ($30,000 for those age 50 or older).
The catchy name comes from the section of the tax code — specifically subsection 401(k) — that established this type of plan. Employees contribute money to an individual account by signing up for automatic deductions from their paycheck. Depending on the type of plan you have, the tax break comes either when you contribute money or when you withdraw it in retirement.
If this is the point at which you dozed off during employee orientation, you may have missed the best part — sometimes there's free money involved.
How do you get a 401(k)?
You get a 401(k) from your employer.
Many employers offer to match a portion of what you save, and the perk that gets all the headlines is the employer match. If you work somewhere that offers to toss extra money into your account based on how much you contribute — for example, a dollar-for-dollar or 50-cents-on-the-dollar match up to, say, 6% of your contribution amount — stop reading now and fill out the paperwork. If you do nothing else, at least contribute enough to your account to nab that free money.
Play around with our
to see how your savings will grow with a 401(k) — and the difference incremental changes, including any company match, will make over time.
Unfortunately, not all employers offer access to a 401(k) plan. Don't despair if you fall into that camp. You can still reap the same tax benefits from the other big retirement savings vehicle, an individual retirement account.
All that may raise the inevitable question: What is an IRA? These accounts offer some attractive benefits (a broader selection of investments and generally lower fees), albeit with a few downsides (lower contribution limits and restrictions for high earners). Here's how a 401(k) differs from an IRA and, if applicable, how to take advantage of both at the same time.

Types of 401(k)
This is a good time to mention there are several types of 401(k) plans, including the two main kinds: the traditional 401(k) and the Roth 401(k). The traditional (or regular) 401(k) offers upfront tax break on your savings. Contributions to a Roth 401(k) are made with after-tax dollars, so you don't get to deduct the money from that year's taxes. But don't worry; the Roth's payoff comes later. Here's more on the differences.
Traditional 401(k)
Contributions to a traditional 401(k) plan are taken out of your paycheck before the IRS takes its cut, and your money grows tax-free. Let's say Uncle Sam normally takes 20 cents of every dollar you earn to cover taxes. Saving $800 a month outside of a 401(k) requires earning $1,000 a month — $800, plus $200 to cover the IRS' cut. (Here are the contribution limits to shoot for this year.)
Besides the boost to your savings power, pretax contributions to a traditional 401(k) have another nice side effect: They lower your total taxable income for the year. For example, let's say you make $65,000 a year and put $19,500 into your 401(k). Instead of paying income taxes on the entire $65,000 you earned, you'll only owe on $45,500 of your salary. In other words, saving for the future lets you shield $19,500 from taxation.
Once money is in your 401(k), the force field that protects it from taxation remains in place. This is true for both traditional and Roth 401(k)s. As long as the money remains in the account, you pay no taxes on any investment growth. Not on interest. Not on dividends. Not on any investment gains.
But the tax-repellent properties of the traditional 401(k) don't last forever. Remember when you got that tax deduction on the money you contributed to the plan? Well, eventually the IRS comes back around to take a cut. In technical terms, your contributions and the investment growth are tax-deferred — put off until you start making withdrawals from the account in retirement. At that point, you'll owe income taxes.
Here's where the Roth 401(k)'s superpower is revealed.
Roth 401(k)
If your employer offers a Roth 401(k) – and not all do – you can contribute after-tax income and your distributions will be tax-free in retirement.
The Roth 401(k) offers the same tax shield as a traditional 401(k) on your investments when they are in the account; you owe nothing to the IRS on the money as it grows. But unlike with qualified withdrawals from a regular 401(k), with a Roth, you owe the IRS nothing when you start taking distributions.
How's that, exactly? Remember we mentioned earlier that, depending on the type of 401(k) plan, you get a tax break either when you contribute or when you withdraw money in retirement? Well, the IRS can charge you income taxes only once. You've already paid your due because your contributions were made with post-tax dollars. And any income you get from the account – dividends, interest or capital gains – grows tax-free, and when you withdraw money in retirement, you and Uncle Sam are already settled up.
Both the Roth and traditional 401(k)s have rules around withdrawals. There are a few exceptions, but in general, the IRS says you cannot take distributions from your account until age 59½ without running into additional taxes or penalties.

401(k) changes
If you are not participating in your company's 401(k) plan, take note. Under a spending bill signed by President Biden, starting in 2025, employers will be required to automatically enroll participants in 401(k) and 403(b) plans once employees are eligible.
The automatic contribution starts at at least 3%, but not more 10%. The contributions taken out of your paycheck will increase by 1% a year until your annual contribution is at least 10%, but not more than 15%. The legislation says all current 401(k) and 403(b) plans are grandfathered.
If you leave your job someday for another, you can (and should) take your 401(k) with you. To avoid hefty taxes and fees, you'll need to convert that account into a new one — and for many people, rolling your 401(k) over to an IRA is a great idea.

Two thirds of Mainers polled support ending sale of flavored tobacco products
A poll was conducted among 800 likely 2022 voters in early December.
By Carolyn ZacharyAssistant Editor: Republican Journal
PORTLAND — Nearly two thirds of polled Maine voters support a law that would end the sale of all flavored tobacco products in Maine. The poll results, released Jan. 3, indicated that more than half (53%) strongly favor such a law, and three-quarters (76%) are concerned about young people becoming addicted to tobacco products.
According to a spokesman for Sutherland Weston, a Bangor public relations firm, the national Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids funded the poll. Lake Research Partners of Washington, D.C., conducted the poll of 800 likely 2022 Maine voters in December 2021.
"This poll reinforces what we know to be true: Most Mainers understand that flavored tobacco products are being marketed to kids with the intent to get them hooked early," said Rep. Michelle Meyer, D-Eliot, who has sponsored statewide legislation (LD 1550) in Maine to end the sale of flavored tobacco products. "The health and safety of our children is paramount for Maine people, and it is time that a law be passed to end the sale of all flavored tobacco products in Maine," Meyer said in a press release issued by Sutherland Weston Jan. 3.
Support for the new law had nearly universal support in the poll, across all demographics, education levels, political parties and parental status, according to the release.
The most powerful argument in favor of ending the sales of flavored tobacco products centers on the priority of protecting Maine children. Three times as many voters think it is more important to end the sales of flavored tobacco products to help prevent Maine youth from starting and becoming addicted to these products over a statement that it is more important to protect local small businesses and their ability to employ members of the community by selling flavored tobacco products.
LD 1550, An Act To End the Sale of Flavored Tobacco Products, could be taken up by the Maine House of Representatives this year. If enacted, it would end the sale of flavored tobacco products such as candy- and fruit-flavored electronic cigarettes, sweet flavored cigars and menthol cigarettes, throughout Maine. In October, the Bangor City Council voted to end the sale of flavored tobacco products within the city, which will go into effect in June. The Portland City Council is set to take up the issue this month, with other cities and towns around Maine potentially following their lead.
"The data shows that Mainers overwhelmingly support ending the sale of flavored tobacco products," said BJ McCollister, campaign manager for Flavors Hook Kids Maine. "We can do this by banding together not just for the health and safety of our kids, but for the health and safety of the entire state."
Dozens of partners have joined the effort, including the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, the American Heart Association, the American Lung Association, the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network and several local organizations. More details can be found at FlavorsHookKidsMaine.org.

An increase in refining margins at Tesoro's Hawaii operation helped maintain the company's profitability in the first quarter as scheduled maintenance at plants in California weighed on earnings.
San Antonio-based Tesoro, which operates Hawaii's largest oil refinery, reported net income of $56 million, or 39 cents a share in the first quarter, down from $107 million, or 74 cents a share in the same quarter a year earlier, the company reported Wednesday.
The earnings report did not include any information on Tesoro's plans to sell its Hawaii operations. The company announced in January that it was putting its Campbell Industrial Park refinery and chain of 32 Hawaii gas stations up for sale.
Tesoro's first-quarter operating income took a hit from scheduled maintenance, also known as "turnaround activity," at the company's facilities in California.
Greg Goff, Tesoro's president and chief executive officer, said the company was able to complete nearly half of its planned turnaround activity for 2012 in the first quarter. "We are pleased with our first-quarter results, which reflect a solid operating performance and continued execution of our strategic plan," Goff said.
Tesoro's earnings, which were released after the markets closed, beat Wall Street's expectation of a gain of 26 cents per share. Tesoro shares fell 34 cents to $22.90 at the close of regular trading, but rose 47 cents to $23.37 in after-hours activity.
Tesoro's companywide gross refining margin, a key measure of profitability, fell to $12.15 a barrel in the first quarter from $14.33 a barrel in the same three-month period a year earlier.
The company's Hawaii refinery, which can process up to 94,000 barrels of oil a day, saw its gross refining margin rise to $2.07 a barrel in the first quarter from a negative $3.05 a barrel a year earlier. By comparison, the gross refining margin at Tesoro's California's refineries fell to $7.98 a barrel in the first quarter from $16.66 a barrel a year earlier.
Tesoro's Hawaii plant produces about half of the state's gasoline and fuel oil for electricity generation. It also is the primary supplier of jet fuel and diesel.
The refinery has been considered underperforming by Tesoro in recent years. The company has said it expects to complete the sale no sooner than the second half of this year.

As one of the major NAND producers along with their partner Toshiba, SanDisk SSDs have been among the best and most common out there. In recent years, the pursuit of better GB per dollar has become paramount over pure performance. In light of the changing dynamic, SanDisk has released another SSD that targets just enough performance with enough capacity for most users, the Z410.
Unlike the Z400s that came before, the new Z410 uses 15nm TLC instead of 15nm MLC. Even with the performance penalty incurred and the use of more power-hungry TLC, SanDisk claims one of the lowest power consumptions for the Z410. The new drive reportedly builds on the Z400s platform. That drive used the budget SMI SM2246XP so the logical SMI controller to use with the TLC NAND is the SMI SM2256. The controller adds in SLC caching but not SanDisk's own nCache 2.0 which is why this feature isn't mentioned.
Performance is pretty standard with all 3 variants reaching 535 MB/s reads but only the 480GB variant reach 445 MB/s writes as the 240GB drops down to 440 MB/s and the 120GB model down to 410 MB/s. Random reads hover about 37K IOPS while writes fall between 68K to 54K IOPS. It's interesting that the Z410 reports lower numbers compared to the Crucial BX200 and Adata SP550, both of whom use TLC with the same controller. Given that SMI allows custom firmware, we may never know why the drives are different. No word on pricing has been revealed but expect it to fall near the Z400s.

Logitech MX Vertical Wireless Ergonomic Mouse
Logitech MX Vertical Ergonomic Mouse Review
byMike Epstein Mar 14, 2020
Logitech's wireless MX Vertical Ergonomic Mouse is incredibly comfortable, but that comfort could come at the price of reduced productivity for some users.
Vertical shape is comfortable for your arm, wrist, and hand muscles.
Strong build quality.
Can sync and quick-swap among three wireless devices.
New shape takes some getting used to.
Vertical grip is less accurate.
No dongle storage.
You may not feel it on a day-to-day basis, but using a mouse and keyboard every day is bad for your arms. Holding a mouse forces you to twist your arm and wrist in an unnatural way, and doing so over and over again every day for years can stress and damage them. Ergonomic mice and keyboards, such as Logitech's MX Vertical Ergonomic Mouse ($99.99), offer healthy alternatives to the norm that are designed to minimize the damage to your hand. First released in 2018, the MX Vertical flips your grip so you don't need to twist in stressful ways. It's extremely comfortable, which is great, but the shape compromises the efficacy of the mouse, which is a problem for a productivity-minded product.
Going Vertical
If you've never seen a vertical mouse, the MX Vertical might look a little weird.
The base is a familiar oval shape, but a curved handle rises from that base to create a shape that, from the top-down, you might describe as a seashell. At 4.94 by 3 by 3.34 inches (HWD), it's actually taller than it is wide. The left side of the handle is deeply curved, creating a natural thumb rest atop the mouse's base. It also has a wavy, ridged grip, which looks great but doesn't feel like it's holding your finger in place. Above the thumb rest, there's a thin two-part side macro button. Above that, at the top of the handle, there's a third customizable button that you reach with your thumb. By default, it switches between two DPI presets. The right side of the handle shoots up straight at a steep angle. On that steep slope, you'll find your two click panels and scroll wheel.
The MX Vertical mouse's shape minimizes the stress of holding a mouse on your hand, wrist, and arm. To grip a standard mouse, you have to twist your arm to bring it parallel to the surface on which it's resting, you shift your wrist from left to right for quick movements, and you grip the mouse with your thumb and pinky to maintain control. The grip of a vertical mouse, which Logitech compares to a handshake, the handle slips between your thumb and fingers so you do not need to twist your arm. When stabilizing left and right, your wrist flexes in a more natural way, and your thumb doesn't really need to grip anything because the handle fills the space and "holds" your hand.
Suffice to say, it's hard to overstate how good it feels to make the switch, especially if you use a mouse with a weak shape. Within a week, I could feel that the muscles in my right hand and wrist had relaxed because I wasn't twisting them for seven to 10 hours per day. (I'm a freelancer, so I work a lot). I'm an extreme case, so it may not feel as pronounced for you, but it is a significant change all the same.
That said, that first week was also a bit rough. Using the Vertical takes some getting used to. Pressing sideways to click felt funny for a couple of days. Scrolling down using the wheel feels a little like pulling a trigger. This is a productivity product, and your productivity will definitely take a hit until you adapt to the mouse's distinctive shape. That said, it's a short-term investment for what will be a long-term investment in your physical health and well-being.
Even after adjusting, though, there were still performance issues. I never really felt like I could move my mouse as accurately as I would with a standard mouse. I think it's because the sensor is in a different place relative to the palm of your hand. It's like having a new center of gravity—your movements make sense, but they don't land exactly where you want them to. If I need to click a small icon, like the X in the corner of a MacOS window or the notifications button in the bottom-right corner of Windows 10, I might need to make one extra small adjustment to center my cursor in the spot I wanted.
For some people—gamers, video and image editors—it's a disqualifying factor. For most people, though, it's a small annoyance you might not have noticed if I didn't point it out. That said, it's a real, long-term concession that you should be aware of if you're making the jump to a vertical mouse. And, to be clear, this seems like it would be an issue with any vertical mouse. There's nothing wrong with this specific design, it's a universal flaw endemic to the vertical shape.
Setting aside its signature shape, the MX Vertical is a high-end Logitech mouse, and comes with many of the same useful wireless features as other mice in the same range. It supports Bluetooth and a dongle-based RF wireless connection. Its USB wireless dongle is a Logitech unifying receiver, which means it can sync with multiple compatible devices. (In other words, there's no need for a second dongle for your Logitech keyboard). It also has a quick-swapping button on its underside that allows you to connect and switch among three wireless connections. You can also, of course, use it as a wired mouse by plugging in the USB Type-A-to-Type-C charging cable.
It also gets great battery life. Logitech claims the MX Vertical should last up to four months on a single charge. I've found that mine has gone from roughly 40 percent to "low" in about two weeks without a charge, so that may be an overstatement, but 6-8 weeks on a full charge ain't bad, either.
Last, but not least, the Logitech's optical sensor in the MX Vertical tracks at up to 4,000 DPI. That's the same as the Logitech MX Master 3, which came out a year later. Realistically, this is fine for most non-gaming applications, especially when you consider the mouse is a bit unwieldy, but it does feel low when you look at the gaming space and see that similarly priced mice offer far more versatile specs.
Weighing Your Options
As part of its elite MX productivity line, the MX Vertical supports Logitech Options, the company's configuration software for productivity gear. Options is simple, but slick, and makes it easy to remap the MX Vertical's four customizable buttons (the clicks are off-limits), adjust the DPI, and tweak a couple of other miscellaneous settings. Though it doesn't let you save multiple overarching configuration profiles, Options allows you to set and store different configurations for specific apps.
The MX Vertical also supports Logitech Flow, a feature that lets you sync to multiple devices and switch between them on the fly as if they were connected. It's a really cool feature, and very useful for power users who use two devices for work regularly. If you also have a Flow-compatible Logitech MX keyboard, such as the MX Keys, you can actually go from typing on one device to another just by clicking on a window. Flow ultimately is only necessary for a certain subset of users, and works best when you pair two Logitech products, but it is nice to have.
Slow and Easy
In general, ergonomics-minded gear is not cheap. The MX Vertical goes for $99.99, the same price as its newer flagship productivity mouse, the MX Master 3. Since the MX Vertical is a bit older at this point, though, you find it for about $80 at Amazon and other retailers. From a comfort standpoint, the MX Vertical more than justifies the cost, as do Logitech's high-end features and strong build quality. Then again, it's pretty rare to say that a mouse's shape actively makes it harder to use, even by just a little bit. Choosing whether or not the tradeoff is worth it will depend entirely on how you use your computer day-to-day, but it's a real consideration and something we hope manufacturers strive to improve upon as they develop more hand-friendly mice.

Hey everyone! Thanks for catching us on our 13th episode!
Today, we are joined by Mike, Kevin, and Justin as we discuss Overwatch Anniversary Event, Far Cry 5's trailer and poster, the infamous console v. PC war and why there is no clear winner, and more on our thoughts about Destiny 2.
Episode 14: Will E3 2017 meet gamers' expectations?


15 August 2011, Moscow – The Frigate Ecojet team, initiated by the JSC FPG Rosaviaconsortium, announces the successful completion of the online survey which has been conducted on behalf of Frigate Ecojet by the Consulting Division of the International Air Transport Association (IATA). The survey identifies generic aircraft requirements, and tests the acceptability of the specific Frigate Ecojet value proposition over the next decade.
The responses came from middle and top management representatives of 79 different airlines of various natures, sizes and regions. 82.3% of the participants were from middle and higher management positions and in disciplines generally related to fleet planning.
68.6% of all participants say that there is the need for a new aircraft type in the market. Based on opinions collected from the survey participants, a high-level, non-binding demand estimate for the Frigate Ecojet aircraft can be of up to 650 aircraft until 2030.
Commenting on the results of the survey, Alexander Klimov, the Frigate Ecojet program leader, said: «We're completely satisfied with the results of the survey conducted by IATA. They prove our own initial market studies and show the potential demand for our aircraft from various global aircraft operators. We will proceed with market surveys to fine-tune our program to the real needs of customers across all regional markets».

While searching for ancestors who witnessed the Great Fire of London – an ongoing search – I discovered that my 10 x great grandfather Benjamin Troutbeck served on the 100 gun warship HMS Sovereign of the Seas, later renamed The Royal Sovereign.
While serving as a mariner on The Royal Sovereign, Benjamin participated in two major battles, the Battle of Beachy Head (1690) after which he made his will, and the Battle of La Hougue (1692). The ship went down in 1697, the year Benjamin died. Coincidence? More research required.

Whitby Market Place 1880 by Frank Meadow Sutcliffe.
Nancy Wheeler, my 3 x great grandmother, was born in 1857 in Lambeth, London the twelfth and youngest child of Henry Wheeler, and the fourth child of his second wife, Mary Ann Thorpe.
As a teenager, Nancy worked as a servant for James W Micklefield, a lighterman, and his young family. Lightermen transferred goods to and from ships on the River Thames.
In May 1873, aged sixteen, Nancy left James W Micklefield's employment because she was six months pregnant. On 1 June 1873, she married the baby's father, twenty-five year old James Noulton, in St Mary's, Lambeth.
Along with the social stigma of giving birth to an illegitimate child, Annie would have faced practical considerations for herself and her baby, therefore whatever her romantic feelings towards James Noulton marriage to him would have appeared the best option. Although the parish would have granted Annie some relief, without James' support circumstances might have forced her to place the baby in a foundling hospital.
Illegitimacy in England was never common. During the post-medieval period the figure was under two per cent. That number increased to three per cent between 1590 and 1610 and rose again to three per cent in the 1700s. However, by the 1840s seven per cent of babies were born out of wedlock, a figure that decreased to four per cent in the 1890s. When Annie was pregnant with her first child she was not alone, for around a third of women were pregnant at the time they took their marriage vows.
A detail from Henry Nelson O'Neil's 1855 painting 'A Mother Depositing Her Child at a Foundling Hospital.'
Earlier, in 1866, eighteen year old James fell foul of the authorities and spent three months in Wandsworth Prison. His crime: he stole fifteen feet of lead. James' prison record reveals that he was 4' 10" tall with a lean left leg. Blue eyed and fair haired, he worked in the local pottery. James entered Wandsworth Prison weighing 6st 12lbs and left weighing 6st 8lbs. After his release, James does not appear in the criminal records, so presumably he'd learned his lesson.
On 31 August 1873, Nancy gave birth to James Henry Noulton, the first of six children she had with James. The family lived at 13 Salamanca Street, Lambeth, while James worked as a cement porter. Charles Booth's poverty map of Victorian London reveals that Salamanca Street was a poor area with families existing on 18s. to 21s. a week.

After her marriage, Nancy changed not only her surname, but also her first name. She created a new identity for herself as Annie Noulton, and gave that name to her fourth child, my 2 x great grandmother, Annie Noulton.
My 2 x great grandmother Annie Noulton with two of her daughters, c1920.
Aged forty, James died on 20 December 1888 and on 22 May 1893 at St John the Evangelist, Walworth, Annie married widower, Frederick Thomas Canty, a stoker. The couple produced one daughter, Elizabeth.
On 8 May 1897, Frederick entered the county asylum. He died in the asylum on 20 June 1897.
After a hard life in a rough neighbourhood, Annie died on 27 July 1904 aged forty seven. In her forties, she lived at 39 Neville Street, Lambeth. On 6 August 1924, Eveline Downing died from an illegal operation in Neville Street. The Coroner said that it was "a very unsatisfactory case that would have to be left undecided because there was a conspiracy of silence to defeat the ends of justice."
Eveline Downing's death remains a mystery, but what of Annie Noulton; why did she change her name from Nancy Wheeler? Her parents and upbringing offer an explanation and I will explore that in a future post.

I made great progress this week with the writing of Branches, book two in The Olive Tree, my Spanish Civil War saga, and the editing of Operation Broadsword is nearly complete. My thoughts are turning to Operation Treasure, book four in my Eve's War Heroines of SOE Series, and Stormy Weather, Sam Smith Mystery Series book eighteen, a novel about climate change.
Met some friends on the Bwlch this morning.
My latest translation, available soon, Invasion in Afrikaans. Also, delighted that Nelmari has agreed to translate Blackmail, book three in my Ann's War series.
'Potato' Jones, captain of the cargo steamer Marie Llewellyn. During the Spanish Civil War, 'Potato' Jones ferried 800 refugees to safety. In total Welsh sea captains ferried 25,000 refugees to safety.
He also delivered fuel, food, medicines, guns and ammunition to the anti-fascists in Spain, breaking the blockade at Bilbao.

It's a simple job, they said. We want you to wander down to Maddox Street and Conduit Street in Mayfair and attach the main telephone cable to a new support wire…
I'm reading George Orwell at the moment, his experiences in the Spanish Civil War. Very lyrical and insightful.
Meanwhile, no irony here…
With Joana and Sandra, started work on two new translations today, Mind Games, Sam Smith Mystery Series book eleven, into Portuguese and Operation Locksmith, Eve's War Heroines of SOE book two, into German. Great respect for translators and the talent they bring to these projects.
Hands up if you've said or heard these words 🙂
Responding to QI, the other followers said 'I'd won Tweet of the Day' and 'I'd won the Internet' with this comment 😂
Incidentally, I received well over 1,000 likes, which is easily a record for me.
I've completed Operation Broadsword, book three in my Eve's War Heroines of SOE Series, and now I'm looking forward to January 2021 and Operation Treasure, book four in the series, which is now available for pre-order.

I'm writing chapter twenty-five of Snow in August, Sam Smith Mystery Series book sixteen. Thomas Johnes gets a mention in this chapter. Born in 1748, Thomas Johnes was an MP, printer, writer, landscape architect and farmer. He owned the Hafod Estate where between 1796 and 1801 he planted 2,065,000 trees. In total he planted over three million trees, half a million of them in 1801. We could do with his like today.

My personal top ten this week. Nice to see Stardust in there because that was a fun book to write.
This song seems appropriate this week…
Now they're planning the crime of the century
Well, what will it be?
Read all about their schemes and adventuring
Yes, it's well worth the fee
So roll up and see
How they rape the universe
How they've gone from bad to worse
Who are these men of lust, greed and glory?
Rip off their masks and let's see
But that's not right, oh, no, what's the story?
Look, there's you and there's me
That can't be right?!
Viva la revolución
Week one of Boris Johnson's new regime and everything is going well so far…

Quick update - the code in this article was used as the starting point for components in the d3fc project. It's a bit more advanced than this article, but you might find it interesting to see what this code evolved into!
In my last article I put together an interactive chart that could be panned and zoomed, but there was one obvious omission - crosshairs. In this article I'm going to create a D3 crosshairs component, and show you how to add it to a chart.
You can see that, when you move your mouse over the chart, crosshairs appear on the chart to give you information about the data point the mouse is nearest to. This should also work if you're on a touch screen device - you'd just tap on a data point to bring up the crosshairs, or tap off the chart to clear them - but I have to admit I haven't tested this.
Here's the full code for the crosshairs component - I've left it in one block so it's easier for you to copy & paste. Underneath, we'll go through the code and explain what's going on.
OK, now let's go through this and talk about what's going on.
We then declare a variable called highlight, which will hold the currently highlighted data point.
Each of the elements is also given a unique set of CSS classes, and we set display=none on each element so that they are initially not shown.
Jumping ahead a little, let's look at the property accessor I've included in the code above, for the target property. Accessors are implemented for the other properties but I've left them out of the code block above because they're all standard get/set accessors, whereas this one's slightly different.
… but in essence the only extra thing we're doing here is adding handlers for the mouseover and mouseout events when we set the property - and clearing those event handlers if we reset the property.
What's happening here is pretty straightforward though. We use xScale.invert() to get the date value of the location of the mouse, and then we call findNearest() (see below) to find the data point closest to that date.
All we're doing here is clearing the highlight field and hiding all the SVG elements when the mouse leaves the target area.
This is pretty self-explanatory - we're just iterating through the data points in series, comparing their date fields to xMouse so that we find the data point which is the closest, temporally, to it.
I'm using three CSS rules for this component - nice and simple. One is for the horizontal and vertical line elements, one is for the circle element, and the last is for the two text elements. If you look at the CSS you can see that the rule for the lines and the rule for the circle is identical - I'm really just setting the colour. For the text elements I'm copying the style of the axis labels (10pt sans serif).
The final step is to add the crosshairs component to a chart.
Rather than create a chart from scratch, I'm starting with the OHLC chart that Tom developed in his article on OHLC and candlestick components.
To add the crosshairs component, I'm firstly using a trick I learned in my previous article - adding an invisible overlay onto the chart area. If we don't do this, the mouseover() event will only be fired when we mouse over a data point, but adding this we get the events fired when the mouse moves anywhere on the chart area.
Once that's created, we initialise the crosshairs component, providing values for all the properties we defined.
Finally we add the overlay to the chart area, and call the crosshairs component on it.
And with that, we're done! We've created the interactive chart you see above.
As we've learned from my previous article, when you add multiple modes of interactivity to a chart, most of your time is spent making sure everything is synchronised correctly. If we added this crosshairs component to the interactive chart we developed in that article, we'd soon run into a problem - when you zoomed the chart, the crosshairs would stay in the same place because they only respond to the mouse moving over the chart (panning the chart probably wouldn't be a problem, because you need to move the mouse to do that).
Luckily there's an easy fix for this issue - all we'd have to do would be to refactor the drawing code from mousemove() into its own method, maybe called update(), and then call crosshairs.update() whenever a zoom would cause the chart to be redrawn.
I wanted to create a D3 component to add crosshairs to a chart. The component is comprised of five SVG elements, which are updated on mousemove and mouseout events. The component can be styled in whatever way the user needs.


The basic substructures of the markets remain strong however the actions were taken by Donald Trump in his growing battle with China, the NATO meeting, his visit to the United Kingdom and his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, cause nerves and Some fear in the financial and commodity markets, in such a way that it has influenced fundamental investment decisions.
Trump has been applauded in the area of energy since he took office last January due to his deregulatory agenda and the search for the so-called "energy domain", however, there is currently the possibility that he threatens to break that goal when he also activates fears of a global economic slowdown.
It is considered that Trump is correct in stating that China commits trade abuses but supporting a trade war by imposing tariffs on Chinese products in addition to the threat of imposing taxes on $ 200 billion is not the best, in fact, of the same not be a winner, on the contrary, everyone will lose in that war, also as a result it has been seen that the markets have taken a defensive trend as it is not known exactly what are the intentions of the US president and likewise the same markets They have been affected by themselves.
On the other hand, the international benchmark oil price collapsed 7%, this has been its biggest drop in two years that was due to Trump's report of a list of Chinese products that could receive a 10% valuation, this for a part would be assumed to be good for those consumers in the United States but it is not because there are concerns about the slowdown in global economic growth as well as a decrease in energy demand.
A recent monthly report of the oil cartel affirms that the commercial tensions that are being observed would undoubtedly negatively affect investment, capital flows and consumer spending, as well as a subsequent negative effect on the world oil market and likewise, Several CEOs, have expressed concern. As a result of all this, it would be considered devastating for the oil sector. Meanwhile, energy companies based in the United States are fragile to economic losses in a commercial altercation that continues to grow and seems not to end.

Inhalation injury and positive pressure ventilation in a sheep model
D. N. Herndon, T. Adams, L. D. Traber, D. L. Traber
The mortality rate of inhalation injury was lowered in six chronically instrumented sheep through positive pressure ventilation and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). Six range ewes were prepared for study by implanting catheters to measure lung lymph flow and cardiopulmonary variables. After surgery, these animals were studied in the unanesthetized state and then subjected to an inhalation by insufflating them with smoke from burning cotton. Following the smoking procedure, the animals were studied for 72 hr. All had marked falls in arterial oxygen tension and they developed dyspnea within 24 hr. The inhalation injury produced a marked change in lung lymph flow concomitant with an elevation in the lymph to plasma (L/P) oncotic pressure ratio. This is characteristic of a change in microvascular permeability to protein. A tracheostomy was performed at 72 hr and the animals were connected to positive pressure ventilators with PEEP. All six animals survived. It was concluded that the sheep lung lymph preparation is a very suitable model for the study of inhalation injury and positive pressure ventilation.

Notes on Sicario 2

Sicario 2 is an unexpected sequel providing counterprogramming for the World Cup. Here are some notes on't, prepared for Dublin City FM's Sunday Breakfast with Patrick Doyle early this morning.
Sicario 2 starts off with some of the most disturbing and troubling scenes we're likely to see this year – a prolonged suicide bombing and a retributive hi-tech torture in Djibouti. But these eventually prove to be a bit of a red herring as we return to fighting cartels in Mexico, and find that two men with no limits (Benicio Del Toro, Josh Brolin) eventually question whether they have reached a point where they hit a moral limit. There are great sequences in Mexico: a kidnapping, a murder in broad daylight, and an ambush on a desert road where the abrupt transition to dirt road covers a convoy in a cloud of dust, neutralising the surveillance in 10 miles utility of the drone above. But ultimately Sicario 2 made me think of Hellboy II. Delighted not to have an audience stand-in getting between us and Hellboy, we all soon discovered that character was as necessary as Ishmael in Moby-Dick. Extremities of behaviour work best when observed by someone like Emily Blunt's Kate Macer in the original.
Sicario 2 feels different from the original, because it is missing so many key personnel. Brolin and Del Toro return but as well as Blunt, director Denis Villeneuve and cinematographer Roger Deakins sit this one out. Composer Johann Johannsson died recently and the picture is dedicated to him, and his music only plays in the last scenes (just before his name appears), reminding us how important his score was to creating the mood of the original. Stefano Sollima directed Italian crime show Gomorrah, and his style of observing extreme violence casually dispensed could best be described as blank in the vein of that show's 2008 movie progenitor, where Villeneuve and Deakins, while also cold, provided a more Kubrickian detachment; eschewing commentary but inviting your moral reprobation. They also were far more adventurous in their shooting style, here there is less night-vision and thermal-vision photography than your weekly episode of SEAL Team. Ultimately returning writer Taylor Sheridan provides a screenplay that lacks the singular focus that gave Sicario its irresistible momentum and such richness of character.
The abundance of sequels these days means cyclical discussion of the same problems: resetting characters emotionally in order to place on the same reconciliatory arc again in Jurassic World 2, and in this case characters that worked best as supporting enigmas are placed centre stage because they were popular, and by explaining them away you remove the mystique to the point where they are no longer enigmas. This is certainly true with Alejandro, who seems to have reached the end of the line by being made the leading man. This is a pity as Sheridan's original screenplay was so full of memorable dialogue that you lament the lack of it here as everything becomes a bit more routine, even as he hints at his interest but can't really develop it in a notion that deserves a full blog post. Ever since Euripides wrote The Trojan Women during the Peloponnesian War artists have been wringing their hands over winning by the wrong methods invalidating the value of such victory. But must you win to wring hands?…

Selina Cartmell directs Marina Carr's relocation of Medea to the Midlands for its first revival since its 1998 Abbey premiere.
We meet Hester Swane (Susan Lynch) in what seems a disused quarry next the titular bog, dragging a dead black swan, a prophetic bird from which the blind Catwoman (Brid Ni Neachtain) divines Hester's death by sundown. This emphasises the earlier omen of Hester meeting the Ghost Fancier (David Shannon) in the morning fog, who apologised for being early… Hester's day was already set to be bad as Carthage Kilbride (Barry John O'Connor), the father of her child Josie (Eve Maher/Elodie Devins), is marrying the much younger Caroline Cassidy (Rachel O'Byrne), the daughter of big farmer Xavier Cassidy (Peter Gowen). The vinegary Mrs Kilbride (Marion O'Dwyer) is delighted at this advantageous match, that will 'knock some semblance of legitimacy' into her granddaughter. But Hester is determined not to go quietly, despite her neighbour Monica Murray (Jane Brennan) begging Hester to keep her signed promise to leave the bog for the new house in the town that Xavier has bought her…
Monica Frawley's set is impressively stark, the craggy rocks being relieved only by a tent in the background for the raucous wedding sequence. This channels the intensity of Greek tragedy which Carr smashes into Irish archetypes. Catwoman the Tiresian blind seer mingles with an Irish mammy from Hell in Mrs Kilbride, Hester's Tinker blood is the barbarian origins that Greeks despise, while Creon banishing Medea from Corinth is Xavier moving Hester off the bog; except that Xavier is also a monstrous patriarch out of John McGahern's work. Irish country and western music floats over proceedings, even inflecting the cowboy-outfitted drawling Ghost Fancier, but Kilian Waters' AV design is oddly under-used, indeed largely abandoned after a prologue in which Hester's sunken caravan is investigated by a character who disappears out of sight but whose point-of-view is relayed on a big screen. This play is about passion, mostly the thirst for revenge, as conveyed by Lynch in a performance of snarling intensity.
But, as Euripides' 1960s translator Philip Vellacott noted, Medea presents "an oppressed victim claiming sympathy" until "the punishment shows itself twice as wicked as the crime, sympathy changes sides; and we are left with only one comfort, that since the worst has been reached, there can be no worse thing to follow." After the interval Carr unduly prolongs Hester's embittered rampage, as we've lost sympathy by dint of her past before she proves childishly and murderously unwilling to distinguish between death and exile. Hester's most affecting scenes come before the interval: lamenting her betrayal by Carthage, making fun of Mrs Kilbride with her daughter Josie. O'Dwyer is hilariously spiteful before the interval as Mrs Kilbride, but raises the roof as a Freudian nightmare against the double-act of Ni Neachtain's Catwoman and Des Nealon's Fr Willow at the memorable wedding bacchanalia. O'Byrne evinces a quiet sadness, while special mention must go to the young actress playing Josie with bright, phenomenal confidence.
By the Bog of Cats is a production of admirable commitment which loses its way latterly because of its repetitious focus on Hester but lingers long in the mind.
By the Bog of Cats continues its run at the Abbey until September 12th.
Accidental Death of an Anarchist
Tags: Accidental Death of an Anarchist, Basil Fawlty, Dagmar Doring, Dario Fo, Euripides, George Bernard Shaw, Hard Candy, Jim Carrey, John Cleese, Neil Fleming, New Theatre, Patrick O'Donnell, Paul Elliot, Paul Kealyn, Peter Reid, Rory Mullen, Simon Nye, Trojan Women, William Shakespeare
Dario Fo's most celebrated play receives an exceedingly energetic but ultimately misjudged production at the New Theatre in Temple Bar.
A madman, who likes to torment blustering local Garda (Paul Kealyn), worms his way into the corridors of power and, passing himself off as a judge conducting an inquiry, grills all the police officers present when an anarchist 'accidentally' fell off the 4th floor of police headquarters. Distractingly the characters retain names like Bertosi despite wearing Garda uniforms. The panicked Inspector (Neil Fleming) tries to maintain his alibi in the face of increasingly damning questions, dragooning the obviously guilty Superintendent (Rory Mullen) into buttressing the madman's increasingly elaborate and supposedly helpful alibi for the alibi, as it were. They're aided in their attempts to fabricate a narrative by the idiotic Constable (Paul Elliot, giving the most understated and effective performance), and hindered by the late-arriving crusading journalist (Dagmar Doring). But this is Hard Candy without any attempt at ambiguity; the dramatic dice are fatally loaded.
The play is dominated by a certified madman, but that doesn't mean he has to be played as a madman. However, Patrick O'Donnell plays him from the get-go as Graham Norton meets Jim Carrey, with some grace notes from John Cleese as Basil Fawlty increasingly evident after the interval. This is not without merit by any means. There are many scenes which are screamingly funny because of this approach, but there are many more scenes which would work if played subtly that fail miserably because of this OTT tack. Cleese didn't play Basil as screaming and prancing from start to finish, there were escalating levels of madness thru which Basil would reach his peak of manic exasperation. This production asks its cast en masse to start at full volume, which, toning it down being verboten, leaves them nowhere to go…
Director Peter Reid's gloss on Simon Nye's translation is a greater worry. An anti-austerity song is amusing, but seems pandering; but then it's followed by an abortion zinger so pointed it's not part of the play, but a statement of political credo – so much so that someone in the audience cheered loudly when it was delivered. This pulls you out of the theatre, and the madman's subsequent lengthy speech on how religion reinforces capitalist hegemony annoys because Shaw would instantly produce an opposing argument; but here you're expected to nod your head approvingly. Euripides with the Trojan Women challenged his fellow Athenian Imperialists to reflect on their conduct, Shakespeare with his history plays challenged his fellow countrymen to dream the England he was imagining for them, but this production merely asks Irish socialists to slap themselves heartily on the back.
If you believe theatre is an arena where you bask in the glory of your own beliefs then this will satisfy – but surely theatre aims for more than that?

Rough Magic presents a version of Phaedra that incorporates live music into the unfolding tragedy but the results are sadly uneven…
Phaedra charts the downfall of one of those psychotically dysfunctional families that seemed to proliferate in ancient Greece. Phaedra (Catherine Walker) is a trophy wife married to the older and brutally abusive Theseus (Stephen Brennan) but she is mad with desire for his adult son Hippolytus (Allen Leech), ironically her emotional distance only increases Theseus' infatuation with her. When news comes that Theseus has been killed champagne is spilled and secret desires are revealed, not only by Phaedra who provocatively poses in her underwear while asking Hippolytus to help her pick out a dress for the funeral, but by Aricia (Gemma Reeves) whose father traded the house to Theseus for his debts. Much like the Abbey's recent production of Macbeth that attempted to situate the play in Cromwellian Ireland before giving up Phaedra is littered with the remains of a half-abandoned high-concept. Theseus is apparently a property developer and there are references to the entire country circling the drain on its way out. But there's no sustained attempt to substantively re-imagine Phaedra for the Celtic Tiger so these moments feel like cheap zeitgeist-surfing beside the more pointed resonances to be found elsewhere in the festival with Enron and John Gabriel Borkman.
John Comiskey's stainless steel set with tunnels leading underground and huge narrow windows and video screens worked by remote control nicely de-domesticises proceedings as the gods stalk this family. Euripides' tragedy had previously been reworked by Seneca and Racine and this version reinstates the gods Racine discarded, as well as placing five musicians led by Ellen Cranitch and Cormac de Barra on-stage scoring the action. This conceit can be utterly stunning. Aphrodite (Cathy White), Artemis (Anuna co-founder Fionnuala Gill), and Poseidon (Rory Musgrave) sing while the characters move in a stylised fashion and the first act climax is amazing, as is a later sequence where Phaedra rehearsing a speech by repeating certain lines becomes live sampling scored by repetitive music which re-creates the ritualistic origins of Greek theatre. Composer Ellen Cranitch and director Lynne Parker were deeply involved in the extended development of this version so while they should be praised for such heights they must also accept blame for Hilary Fannin's script which is deeply uneven and too eager to 'shock', why else open with Enone (Michele Forbes) discussing re-shaping the contours south of the female border? Fannin favours profanity over profundity to an extent that quickly becomes deeply tiresome, and a number of Theseus' gynaecological-flavoured insults in the second act receive no laughs when they are clearly meant to be hi-larious.
Gate mainstay Brennan's Theseus is absent for nearly half the play and when he does appear he is deeply over the top, rolling his voice and relishing his swearwords. Sarah Greene's saucy Ismene, talking dirty in broadest Corkonian, matches him while Darragh Kelly's subtle turn as the psychiatrist Theramenes provides a badly needed emotional anchor. Leech redeems himself for Man About Dog with a fine performance as the tortured Hippolytus but while Catherine Walker is strong as Phaedra, for all her dialogue you never feel allowed into her psyche, and that is a disappointing outcome for a classical heroine here re-created by women.
This is worth seeing but what should have been a highlight of the Dublin Theatre Festival only intermittently reaches the heights that were expected of it.
Phaedra continues its run at the Project Arts Centre until October 10th.
Dublin Theatre Festival: 12 Plays
Filed under: Talking Theatre — Fergal Casey @ 4:49 am
Tags: About Adam, Alan Rickman, Andy Warhol, Barry McGovern, Boston Marriage, Celebration, David Mamet, Des Keogh, Druid, Dublin Theatre Festival, Endgame, Enron, Euripides, Factory 2, Fiona Shaw, Frank McGuinness, Gate Theatre, Harold Pinter, Henrik Ibsen, Ioana Petcu-Colan, John Gabriel Borkman, Lindsay Duncan, Long Day's Journey Into Night, New York Times, Olivier Awards, Owen Roe, Phaedra, Racine, Rosaleen Linehan, Rough Magic, Samuel Beckett, Sean O'Casey, Something for Everyone, State & Main, TEOREMAT, The Danton Case, The Factory, The Silver Tassie, Una Santa Oscura, Watt
Boston Marriage 29th Sept – 3rd Oct Gate
It's from 1999 and is an all female cast so I wouldn't have thought this was vintage David Mamet but he did write and direct his satirical film State & Main the year before and apparently this is a rather good scathing Victorian era drawing room black comedy about lesbian couples in fin de siecle Boston.
Phaedra 30th Sept – 10th Oct Project
Rough Magic use music interpolated from an operatic adaptation of Racine's version of the Euripides tragedy, and indeed perform it live to supplement a new polish on the script that apparently adds some contemporary resonances to the implosion of the type of dysfunctional family only found in Greek plays.
T.E.O.R.E.M.A.T. 1st Oct – 4th Oct Belvedere
The first of three Polish plays sees a stranger seduce everyone in a rich household in a wordless version of a Pasolini film that also has similarities to Something for Everyone or About Adam depending on your generosity.
The Silver Tassie 5th Oct – 10th Oct Gaiety
Druid doing Sean O'Casey in the Gaiety should be an obvious flagship show but my bad experience of Long Day's Journey into Night in 2007 gives me pause. O'Casey's move into experimental theatre saw him break with the Abbey as he used symbolism, dance, and music to depict the explosion of WWI into the lives of a Dublin football team who enlist so this should be very good. But…
Celebration 5th Oct – 10th Oct Gate
A very late and allegedly not very good one act play by Harold Pinter about a vicious and crude dinner party in a London restaurant. An odd choice for the festival but perhaps the Gate can extract some black comedy from its brevity.
John Gabriel Borkman 6th Oct – 16th Oct Abbey
Another odd choice, as this is by far the least known of Ibsen's major works. But it does star ALAN RICKMAN, (a fact inexplicably buried deep within the press release), Fiona Shaw and Lindsay Duncan. This is in a new version by Frank McGuinness (a fact which will be returned to in a future blog piece) which brings out the black comedy of Ibsen's drama.
Factory 2 9th Oct – 10th Oct Belvedere
The traditional play which you go to not so much for its merits but so you can boast that you managed to endure its marathon running time is this re-imagining of life at Warhol's chaotic NYC art Factory in the 1960s as, interspersed with Warhol's own endless films, it's a whopping 7 1/2 hours long.
Watt 7th Oct – 17th Oct Gate
This is on at some very odd late hours but that probably only adds to the effect. It's pricey for a one-hour one-man show but Barry McGovern is a noted Beckett exponent who will bring out the black comedy of Beckett's novel and its tour de force of linguistic tricks.
Una Santa Oscura 8th Oct – 10th Oct Smock Alley
A hit at the fringe last year this mixture of video installation about a girl living in a city at night and specially written live music is performed by skilled violinist Ioana Petcu-Colan. Blink and you'll miss its short run.
ENRON 12th Oct – 16th Oct Gaiety
A West End musical about the fall of Enron that has an Olivier Award for best director but flopped on Broadway after the NY Times disliked it. It's definitely high-energy and smart in explaining things over its two and a half hours and it certainly does appear to be dazzling – with light-saber fights in the dark and an accountant with a team of pet velociraptors among the highlights.
Endgame 13th Oct – 17th Oct Gate
Owen Roe apparently made the fabled role of Faith Healer Frank Hardy his own at the Gate earlier this year so he should make an excellent Hamm with support from old double-act Des Keogh and Rosaleen Linehan in the dustbins. Beckett's apocalyptic black comedy will probably return with Michael Gambon soon but this is a good chance to see it with Irish stage actors of long standing.
The Danton Case 13th Oct – 16th Oct Belvedere
The final Polish play is the pick of the bunch. Bawdy anachronistic fun, as a fourth wall breaching version of the French revolution and subsequent terror, performed to pounding punk music, plays out that is really about the fall of Communism and the rise of crony capitalism. Take that Sofia Coppola.

Efekt experimentátora v anglické literatuře zvaný observer-expectancy effect je jev, kdy výzkumníkovo očekávání výsledku daného experimentu způsobí neuvědomovanou odchylku v chování, na základě které experimentátor ovlivní účastníky experimentu a tím i zkreslí jeho výsledky. Řešením tohoto problému je využití takzvané dvojité kontroly naslepo (double-blind control), při které experimentátoři ani účastníci experimentu nejsou obeznámeni s hypotézou, kterou jejich pokus testuje.

Rosenthalův a Fodeův experiment 1963
Rosenthalova a Fodeova studie se stala jednou z prvních, která se tímto jevem zabývala. Zjišťovali, jakým způsobem mohou představy a očekávání experimentátora ovlivnit chování respondentů a to nejen lidí, ale i zvířat.

Experimentátory tohoto pokusu se stali studenti psychologie, kterým bylo řečeno, že budou zkoumat učení krys rychle procházet bludištěm. Krysy, které úspěšně prošly bludištěm, byly patřičně odměňovány. Experimentátorovi byl zadán úkol naučit krysu bludištěm projít.

Rozhodujícím momentem bylo smyšlené sdělení, že krysy, které jim byly přiděleny, pochází ze dvou mentálně odlišných chovů. Jedna skupina experimentátorů tedy pracovala s vědomím, že jejich krysa má vyšší hodnotu intelektu než krysy druhé skupiny. Ve skutečnosti krysy pocházely ze stejného chovu.

Výsledkem nezávislého měření výkonu krys o několik dní později se ukázalo, že krysy, které studenti pokládali za chytré, se naučily procházet bludištěm rychleji než ty krysy, o kterých si jejich trenéři mysleli, že jsou krysami běžnými. Toto ovlivnění způsobil právě takzvaný efekt experimentátora. Studenti, kteří věřili, že se jejich krysy budou učit rychleji, změnili dle tohoto očekávání svůj přístup i trpělivost ke krysám. Prokázalo se, že tito studenti své krysy povzbuzovali, více je krmili, dávali jim více příležitostí k nácviku bludiště. Někteří své svěřence i pojmenovali. Naopak skupina studentů s údajně hloupými krysami jim věnovala mnohem méně pozornosti. Dle Rosenthala je tento jev druhem sebenaplňující předpovědi. Prostým předpovězením toho, co se stane, experimentátoři nevědomky způsobili, že výsledky odpovídaly jejich očekávání.

Rosenthalův a Jacobsonové experiment 1968
Rosenthal pokračoval ve výzkumu tohoto jevu tentokrát na jedné z amerických škol. Učitelé si mysleli, že dělají výzkum o nadaných dětech. Experimentátoři záměrně zaranžovali situaci tak, aby učitelé vyslechli jejich rozhovor o údajně talentovaných dětech, které však ve škole patřily k průměru. Po roce se experimentátoři navrátili do školy a s překvapením zjistili, že jmenované děti s doposud průměrnými výsledky se zlepšily o několik stupňů – jen díky očekávání učitelů.

Tento jev je také jistou obdobou teorie nálepkování či sebenaplňující předpovědi užívané v sociologii.
