Year after year, online sportsbooks keep offering more NFL player props to choose from. The more options the books are offering, the more you are guaranteed that they are actually profitable. If a bet appears profitable for the sportsbook, the less attention pro bettors will pay to it. However, there are certain special circumstances when these types of bets certainly make sense. Let us cut down to the chase and take a look at what makes NFL player props attractive or not and how to bet on them correctly.
So, when are bets attractive?
When they are similar to a different outcome, but at a more lucrative price. In some instances, placing a bet on football props is usually a great opportunity for you to cash in a favorable price for a game that appears to be one-sided. For instance if you think that team A will beat team B, but you are not getting a good price on team A, you will be risking a lot compared to what you would win. If this is the case, then you can look for another way to express your opinion; say the passing, hence comes the passing prop. If in your opinion, the outcome of the game is closely related to the prop and you are confident about it, you can bet on it. When comparing two players and one player has an obvious edge over the other. Odds makers always set up props to compare certain players, like the two starting QBs for instance. Most of the times, a game has certain special circumstances, thus making the comparison appear pretty much one-sided. When making your decision, the players might have similar scores or yardage, but there are certain factors that set them apart. An example is when one of the players has achieved this through a run of difficult games while his counterpart has done it thanks to weaker opponents. Therefore, you should not make your decision at first glance; rather, you should make an analysis to see which bet is smarter. When certain circumstances increase the importance of a player. Injuries among other things are circumstances that influence public opinion and odds makers use these circumstances to set odds for the props. A change in line-up may not catch the attention of the public, but to a specific player, his performance in the game is usually impacted by these circumstances. For instance, if a player from the offense line is ruled out of a game, the running back will have difficulties, and the QB will have to make some hasty decisions that impact his performance negatively.
When the return you expect is lower than the wager with a significant amount.
When high profile players are involved. Everyone loves the big names in the NFL. This is a fact that is well known by sportsbooks, thus making it impossible to find a big name player with an attractive price, more so when the prop involves the player going head to head with another big name player. To be safe, you should assume that the bookmakers set the prices for the big player at a lower amount than they would ideally be. When it's a simple guess. You will always find props that are decoded and analyzed through a thoughtful process that makes you feel confident about your bet. However, other props are nothing but a guess. For instance, you might have to guess which receiver will feature for a team in a given day. Any NFL handicapper must understand that the more guessing there is, the less attractive a bet should be. When the bets are too expensive. In some instances, a bet appears to make sense under the sun, such that you feel confident that a particular player has an advantage over another player on a particular match day. The bookmakers know when there is a clear preference in a bet, but they will set the prices accordingly. In such a scenario, you will find that you end up paying a lot for a bet that looks attractive at a glance, but in the long run, you will realize that it was a bad to risk so much for so little gain.

The Bundesliga is a high volume, betting market and odds are therefore very attractive. Differences between bookmakers are significant and selecting the right bookmaker can lead to significant higher winnings.
Differences between bookmakers are significant and selecting the right bookmaker can lead to significant higher winnings.
In the long run, it can make the difference between winning and losing.
Obviously, the Bundesliga is a popular competition for many bettors, given it is one of the top 4 European football competitions.
Due to the size and the popularity of the Bundesliga, the volumes in betting are very high. This makes it possible for bookmakers to offer better odds than for most other (smaller) European Competitions.
For some bookmakers, you need to assess closely WHEN you place your bet. Usually, the odds are best when bets are placed 1 day before the match or on the day of the match.
The charts below is an overview of the average payout percentages of the bookmakers in The Bundesliga. These are the average payout percentages of 1×2 bets offered 1 day before the match start.
The chart below provides an overview of the average payout percentages of the bookmakers offered for LIVE betting. As you can see, the best bookmakers for LIVE betting in The Bundesliga are Betfred, Totesport and Pinnacle, with an average payout of 96%.
The bookmakers with the best odds in the German Bundesliga are clearly Pinnacle and Bet3000 providing odds with payout ratios of 98% or even higher. LIVE betting yields ratios of 96% for Pinnacle.
The bookmakers with excellent odds in the German Bundesliga are 188Bet, Betfair, Betvictor, Betfred, Sportingbet, William Hill, Betsafe and Kroon Casino.
These bookmakers offer mostly odds with payout ratios around 95%-97%. For some of these bookmakers, the right timing is crucial.
The following bookmakers are average or just below average, offering odds with payout ratios of 94%-95%: Bet365, Betonline, Betsson, Betway, BWIN, Coral, Ladbrokes, Skybet, Stan James, Unibet, Netbet, Nordicbet, 138.com, SBOBet, 888sport, 10Bet and MrGreen.
These bookmakers are not the most appealing bookmakers for the Bundesliga, and we do not recommend these if you wager higher amounts on Bundesliga matches or if you play ACCAs.
The following bookmakers offer odds with payout ratios consistently lower than 94%: Bet-at-Home, Paddy Power, Boylesports and Ladbrokes.
In the long run, it is tough to win money with these bookmakers in the Bundesliga.
If you are looking to place special bets on The Bundesliga events, here are some tips on which bookies offer the best odds and what is the optimum moment to place your bet.
The best bookmakers for Asian Handicap are 188Bet, Bet365, Betvictor and Pinnacle. These bookmakers offer odds with a payout ratio of 98%. SBOBet, Betfred and Totesport have odds with a very decent payout ratio of 97% (one day before the match).
Pinnacle and 188bet are the bookmakers who offer the most attractive odds, where the payout ratios exceed 97% (one day before the match).
This is a popular bet where the punter has to predict whether the total number of goals is over or under the line (the total number) that has been set by the bookmaker.
We see that some bookmakers offer very attractive odds. Pinnacle and 188bet are the bookmakers who offer the most attractive odds, where the payout ratios exceed 97% (one day before the match).
We recommend Pinnacle as the best choice for the Bundesliga.

Q: Verify contribution of client-server network latency in application performance We have a typical Flash+J2EE application that makes multiple requests from client to server (over Flex remoting), which is taking quite a long time on some client systems (and hence results in poor application performance on such systems).
Now, suspecting issues with network connectivity (latency) on such client system(s), we need to identify how far does it contribute to the slow response of the application (rather than performance issues in the application itself).
So, what are the best way(s) to diagnose this on a client system (Windows)?
Note that we have tried profiling our application, which does not indicate bottlenecks there, so we just need to clearly identify the possible network issues.
Thanks.

A: Consider the use of a network impairment solution to model these uncontrolled network characteristics for the user(s) who are complaining.  The industry defacto solution set is from Shunra (http://www.shunra.com), but if all you want is single session to look at the behavior of one user, then you might consider an open source solution such as WanEm, (http://wanem.sourceforge.net).
This should allow you to model the network characteristics between a single client and the server over a congested network link to observe how the single user application performance changes with different network conditions.   With WanEm you get to model one logical link between the two.  With Shunra you could model your whole network if you so desired.    Don't accept the default installation of WanEm on a virtual machine, timing is critical to network impairment and the clock will "float" inside of a virtual machine - Go ahead and stand up a single host for this.

On Monday we went to see the Magna Carta exhibit at the Canadian Museum of History. Understandably, they did not allow any photography of the two charters (Magna Carta and Charter of the Forests).
Nobody is above the law of the land: The basis of equal justice at all levels of society.
Women's rights: A widow could not be forced to marry and give up her property – a major first step in women's rights.
Taxation: No taxation without the consent of the people.
The Charter of the Forests provided rights, privileges and protections for the common man against the abuses of the aristocracy. At a time when the lands were the most important potential source of fuel for cooking and heating, and of industries such as charcoal burning, as well as of collecting firewood, grazing, or of cutting of turf for fuel, this charter provided a degree of economic protection for free men.
The exemplars on display in Ottawa were issued in 1300 and bear the seal of King Edward I. Durham Cathedral is the keeper of both these charters.
It was impressive to see the 715-year old documents. The dimensions of Magna Carta are about 18" by 20", and the Charter of the Forests is a bit smaller.
If you wonder whether these documents are important, just ask yourself whether you'd rather live within the Anglosphere (UK, Canada, USA, Australia, New Zealand, etc.) or in any of Saudi Arabia, Syria, China, Russia, Nigeria, etc.


Billit is a puzzle strategic game in which you must slow down the balls to rank them before they reach their destination.
If correct rank achieved -> next level + life win. If not, loose life and start level again. If no more life, go back one level and win 1 life.
Objective : end the game with the highest life.
30 levels available. More to come.
Slow the balls by passing over with the mouse to make them arrive in the correct order.
Only mouse over control -> very simple.

Q: Multiple columns assignment using .loc - Pandas I have a problem that I can't assign multiple columns using '.loc'.
I would like to do it using one line.
Example
DataFrame Input:
    NAME   AGE  NEW_AGE COUNTRY NEW_COUNTRY     _merge
0  LUCAS  80.0      NaN  BRAZIL         NaN  left_only
1  STEVE   NaN     35.0     NaN         USA       both
2    BEN   NaN     25.0              CANADA       both

DataFrame Output:
    NAME   AGE  NEW_AGE COUNTRY NEW_COUNTRY     _merge
0  LUCAS  80.0      NaN  BRAZIL         NaN  left_only
1  STEVE  35.0     35.0     USA         USA       both
2    BEN  25.0     25.0  CANADA      CANADA       both

Code
import pandas as pd

people = pd.DataFrame(
    {'NAME': ['LUCAS', 'STEVE', 'BEN'],
     'AGE': [80, pd.np.nan, pd.np.nan],
     'NEW_AGE': [pd.np.nan, 35, 25],
     'COUNTRY': ['BRAZIL', pd.np.nan, ''],
     'NEW_COUNTRY': [pd.np.nan, 'USA', 'CANADA'],
     '_merge': ['left_only', 'both', 'both']
     })

people.loc[people['_merge'] == 'both', 'AGE'] = people['NEW_AGE']
people.loc[people['_merge'] == 'both', 'COUNTRY'] = people['NEW_COUNTRY']

I tried this way but it fails.
# USING ONLY ONE DOESNT WORK
people.loc[people['_merge'] == 'both', ['AGE', 'COUNTRY']] = \
 people[['NEW_AGE', 'NEW_COUNTRY']]

# USING TO_NUMPY CAUSE OF http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/user_guide/indexing.html
people.loc[people['_merge'] == 'both', ['AGE', 'COUNTRY']] = \
 people[['NEW_AGE', 'NEW_COUNTRY']].to_numpy()

Does anyone know how to assign multiple columns using one command?
Pandas: 0.24.1
Thanks.

A: Use rename for same columns names with lambda function:
f = lambda x: x.replace('NEW_','')
df = people[['NEW_AGE', 'NEW_COUNTRY']].rename(columns=f)
people.loc[people['_merge'] == 'both', ['AGE', 'COUNTRY']] = df
print (people)
    NAME   AGE  NEW_AGE COUNTRY NEW_COUNTRY     _merge
0  LUCAS  80.0      NaN  BRAZIL         NaN  left_only
1  STEVE  35.0     35.0     USA         USA       both
2    BEN  25.0     25.0  CANADA      CANADA       both


Was the moon landing staged? Was 9/11 an inside job? Are vaccines and GMOs harmful? Is the government covering up crash landings by alien beings? The vast majority of conspiracy theories perpetuated mainly on social media have no or very little basis in fact or reality. An example of a proven one began in the 1960's when Big Tobacco paid off a small group of scientists to disseminate the lie that cigarette smoking does not cause cancer and numerous other diseases. The following are nine clever ways propagators of conspiracy theories manipulate and deceive the public. Insights taken from public health advocate and medical journal author Sara E. Gorman, PHD and science author and researcher Jack M. Gorman, MD.
"In the case of Watergate, there was no need to exaggerate the power of the conspirators – they included the President of the United States. But in a case like the alleged cover-up of vaccines' ability to cause autism, we are asked to believe that drug companies are so powerful that they can keep data secret from hundreds of scientists and government regulators. Maybe drug companies are not so eager to reveal dangers associated with medications they hope to profit from, and maybe the scientists who work for the companies can be dissuaded from revealing those dangers individually, but every bit of data accumulated in drug company studies must be turned over to the US Food and Drug Administration.
"Also, another government agency, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), conducts surveillance studies on a host of things that might affect the public health. One such CDC endeavor showed no connection between vaccines and autism. So now we must believe that all of the scientists at two government agencies are in on it.
Conspiracy theorists prey on people's envy and frustrations at not having achieved anything important in life. Corporate greed is real and inexcusable…..
"But the notion that if someone makes money from something then there is automatically something immoral, dangerous, or illegal being done is obviously unhelpful. We are not here debating the ethics of capitalism, the income gap, or free market economies. Rather, we are simply pointing out that it is entirely possible for someone to make a lot of money making a product or providing a service that is useful and safe. That is, it is insufficient to say that because a profit is being made, the result must be evil. Yet this is in general what conspiracy theorists assert, and in doing so they are preying on our feelings of envy and life dissatisfaction rather than arguing science.
"These include children starving in Africa because bugs eat the crops they could be eating if GMO seeds had been used; teenagers who shoot themselves with their parent's guns; unvaccinated children who catch measles and develop life-threatening encephalopathies or pass measles on to children being treated for cancer who cannot be vaccinated; people with severe depression who do not respond to psychotherapy or antidepressant drugs and kill themselves when they could have been saved by ECT; and so on. Scientists generally do not give emotion-laden appeals in which these victims are discussed, even though they are real, whereas the conspiracy theorist 'victims' are too often fabrications.
"They are characterized by chagrined scientists and doctors who have felt slighted by their colleagues. They often form new organizations with long and provocative names; name themselves the president, director or CEO; and frequently avoid disclosing how large the membership actually is. Most important, they tend to portray themselves as lone wolves who are the victims of huge and powerful conglomerates usually comprised of some combination of industry, government and professional societies.


I think when explaining why I loved this book so much, I have to start with Amani as the main character because she was definitely a major factor in why I loved the book so much. She's just incredible, basically she's everything that I love in a female heroine all rolled into one, she's strong, smart, feisty, determined and compassionate and she doesn't want or need a guy (though there is romance in this book, I will get to that later in the review) and she wants more for herself than what her society is willing to give her and she's willing to fight to get it. She really is an absolutely wonderful main character.
I also really loved the desert setting. I've never really read anything set in the desert before and I thought it was a great choice for a setting and really added to the magic of the book, in fact it almost felt like the setting was a character in itself, which I think is the mark of a really great book, when the setting feels alive. I wasn't sure whether the mix of American West and Arabian culture was really going to work but the two worlds blend seamlessly together.
I briefly mentioned the romance, but I'd like to expand on it here. I really loved the romance in this book because it's precisely what I like from my book romances. Amani and Jin's relationship is a definite slow burn romance, which is just the kind I love, they don't fall in love straight away, it's a slow process and develops through the book. Their chemistry is palpable, you can feel it every time they are together and I loved the back and forth banter between them. I'm so excited to see where this relationship progresses in the next two books! I also love that there doesn't seem to be any hint of a love triangle yet. Let's keep this going please!
Speaking of Jin, I really loved him too. He's kind of mysterious, but charming and funny, intelligent and awesome at fighting, and he and Amani make such a great team, which I loved, that it wasn't him fighting to protect Amani, they worked to protect each other.
I really loved the world building, I liked the combination of modern things like guns and trains and technology with all the magic and fantastical elements, like Djinni and ghouls and Buraqi, I particularly loved the Buraqi, they were so cool, I love the idea of a desert horse made out of sound, though I found the scene where they captured one a little upsetting. I liked that they could only be caught and made mortal by a woman, I thought that was interesting given the patriarchal society of the book. I thought the world was really well developed for a first book (sometimes authors can be a little sloppy on world building in first books, preferring to focus more on the characters, which is fine, but I often find the world building is a little lacking), you get a real sense of this patriarchal society and the desert in which Amani lives. I found the patriarchal aspect (especially the polygamy) a little difficult to swallow, but it adds authenticity to the world. I liked the mythology and folklore tales that were featured in the book as well as the Mirajin celebrations, I felt it really added to the world that Hamilton created. One thing I would say is that I'd have liked a map included in the book, small thing and it obviously has nothing to do with the writing (which I thought was lovely), but it's just something that I'm used to in fantasy books and since there's a lot of moving around in this book, a map would have really helped me picture all the different parts of the desert.
Some of the chapters occasionally felt a little long, but overall, there was a nice mix of longer and shorter chapters and I thought the pacing of the book was pretty good, there were a lot of great action sequences (I mean you get shoot outs, train chases, sand storms what more could you ask for?) but it wasn't constantly fast paced, there was a nice mix of faster and slower paced chapters, which kept me engaged.
There were a couple of twists, one that I kind of saw coming, although I was slightly wrong about the exact nature of the twist and one that I really didn't though I probably should have as there are hints through the book and I suggested at it when I featured this book in my Wishlist Wednesday post on it, though I must have forgotten between writing that post and reading the book!
I loved all of the secondary rebel characters, particularly Shazad, who was another strong female like Amani, though I feel in a slightly different way. I especially liked the friendship and camaraderie between the rebel group, but particularly Amani and Shazad as I love it when books show that two strong female characters can be friends! I'm looking forward to seeing more of their friendship in the later books.I didn't like Hala much at first, but I came to appreciate her more towards the end of the book, she's a bit prickly and slightly rude but you can tell she really cares about all the other rebels and her Demdji powers are really cool. Overall I loved all of the secondary characters and I can't wait to see more of them in the next book as they're a really great group. Even characters that weren't in the book for very long, like Amani's friend from Dustwalk Tamid, he wasn't in the book for all that long, yet you still get a good sense of who he is as a character and what his relationship to Amani was like, I think that's the mark of a very talented writer, that both the world and all of the characters, even the very minor ones are very well developed.
I loved that the ending wasn't a cliffhanger, I mean it was written in a way that means you know there are going to be further books but not with a cliffhanger that means I'm going to be tearing my hair out waiting for the next book (I mean don't get me wrong, I'm going to be very impatient waiting for the next book because this one was so good and I really want to read the next one as soon as possible) but I liked that she didn't leave the book on a cruel cliffhanger where you have to wait a year for the next one. I also loved that whilst this book used elements that are generally used in fantasy, it also felt like nothing I had ever really read before, with the Wild West/Arabian setting and I love that the mythology felt different to anything I'd ever read before as I've never read anything with Djinn and it was really cool to learn about them.
I don't really want to say much else because I don't want to spoil anything, but all I can say is that if you love fantasy you must read this book. It's a wonderful, vivid story with a great main character, great supporting characters, an amazing, unique world, with a setting that feels like it comes alive and a romance that is slow burn, beautifully drawn and realistic with genuine chemistry between the characters. It's such a wonderful book and an amazing debut, I can't wait to see where Alwyn Hamilton goes with this world from here! If you haven't read it already, what are you waiting for? Read it and experience the desert come to life!
The next book I will be reviewing is Unbound by Neal Shusterman, a collection of short stories from the Unwind universe.


The Northern Illinois Huskies are looking to continue their run of successful seasons in the MAC conference. Last season Northern Illinois won their first 12 games before losing their last regular season game as well as their bowl game against Utah State. The loss of their quarterback as well as their main offensive threat, Jordan Lynch, will leave a hole in the Huskies offense that will need to be filled come game one. Last season Northern Illinois had one of the most potent rushing offenses in the nation, which averaged close to 300 yards/game, a most impressive statistic from a team that isn't traditionally a powerhouse. The Presbyterian Blue hose, on the other hand, are looking to rebound from just a 3-win season. The Blue Hose face an uphill battle on both offense and defense.
The return of QB Heys McMath in the 2014 season could allow the 6"4' Georgia native to make key plays that allow the Blue Hose to somehow get into bowl eligibility range.
The departure of Jordan Lynch has left the QB position wide open for the huskies; fortunately the return of the top two receivers, Da'ron Brown and Tommylee Lewis, means that these huskies will have some experience under their belt.
Departures in the secondary defense of the huskies allows for players like Safety Dechane Durante, who had 3 interceptions last season, to step up and secure their defense.
–Northern Illinois was trying to play Cinderella last year and almost won their bowl game. But after losing their last two games of the season, The Huskies will be looking for blood against a less then impressive Presbyterian.


[fr] De la lecture... encore.
Another of these "linkball" posts. Maybe there's a better way to do this (hell, there are heaps of better way to do this; whole startups exist just to do this; but I'm going old-school). Doesn't really matter, does it?
Doctor 2.0? Meet Jay Parkinson. And listen to his TEDx talk.

Un pont de llosa de pedra és una forma antiga de pont que està format per grans lloses planes de pedra, sovint de granit o esquist, recolzades sobre molls de pedra (a través de rius) o descansant a la vora dels rierols.

Se'n troben bastants a Devon (Dartmoor i Exmoor) i en altres zones del Regne Unit, incloent Snowdonia i Anglesey, Cumbria, Derbyshire, Yorkshire i Lancashire.

Història
Encara que se'ls atribueix un origen prehistòric, la majoria van ser erigits en èpoques medievals i alguns en segles posteriors. Sovint es troben a prop d'un gual on podien creuar els carros. Segons els parcs nacionals Dartmoor, la paraula "clapper" deriva en última instància d'una paraula anglès antic, "cleaca", que significa "pont".

Característiques
És una construcció tradicional associada a camins i rierols, fruit de l'evolució del passat, generalment quan augmentava la distància a creuar i no n'hi havia prou amb la col·locació de pedres. En alguns casos, permeten el pas del bestiar i fins i tot d'un cotxe.

Consisteixen en un o més pilars de pedra (com a elements verticals) sobre els que es col·loquen una o més lloses de pedra (com a elements horitzontals). Normalment tenen una sola peça és la solució més simple, similar al treball d'una llinda. A diferència dels ponts estàndard, no utilitzen cap tipus d'arc.

N'hi ha per tot el món, sent molt comuns i similars a causa de l'abundància de rierols, a tota la part de l'Atlàntic europeu, al nord de Portugal i Galícia, i al sud d'Escandinàvia, passant per les Illes Britàniques. Els materials utilitzats són generalment granit, shale i fusta.

Exemples
El pont de lloses de pedra més gran del món, és el Pont d'Anping a la Xina. Construït al voltant de l'any 1000, té una longitud de 2.223 m i la seva llosa més gran té 75 cm de gruix, 11 m de llarg i pesa 20 tones.

Al Regne Unit, el Postbridge Clapper Bridge (il·lustració, a la galeria), a  Postbridge, a Dartmoor. Les seves lloses tenen més de quatre metres de llarg, dos metres d'amplada amb un pes de més de vuit tones cadascuna, fan que el pont sigui transitable amb un petit carro. Es va registrar per primera vegada el 1380 i va ser construït per facilitar el transport a cavall des de Dartmoor tin fins a la ciutat de Tavistock.

Entre altres exemples supervivents hi ha el Tarr Steps del riu Barle a Exmoor i el pont Stara sobre el riu Lynher, a l'est de Cornwall. Alguns ponts majestuosos més grans, com els de Dartmeet i Bellever, s'han col·lapsat amb el pas del temps; les seves lloses van sucumbir a les inundacions o es van agafar per construir alguna muralla. No obstant això, queden molts altres exemplars més petits a Dartmoor encara en ús, com els de la granja de Teignhead (a prop dels cercles de pedra de Grey Wethers), Scorhill i de la riera de Wallabrook.

How to Treat and Prevent Hard Water Hair Damage
Medically reviewed by Cynthia Cobb, DNP, APRN, WHNP-BC, FAANP — Written by Sarah Kester on September 29, 2020
Effect on hair
Repairing damage
How to wash with hard water
Peter Dazeley / Getty Images
If you've ever washed your hands and noticed a film on them afterward, this is the result of hard water.
Now, imagine what that's doing to your hair. The answer? Damage.
That's because hard water contains a buildup of minerals, such as calcium and magnesium. This produces a film on the hair, making it difficult for moisture to penetrate.
As a result, the hair is left dry and prone to breakage. Leave these issues unresolved and it could even lead to hair loss.
Thankfully, there are some things you can do to counteract these effects. Keep reading to learn about these hair-saving techniques.
The effect of hard water on hair
While hard water itself isn't harmful, there are some downsides when it comes to the hair and skin.
One 2016 study involving 15 females found that hard water damaged hair. This was found after washing hair samples in both hard water and distilled water for 30 days.
At the end of the study, the hair from the hard water samples had decreased in thickness, in addition to having a ruffled appearance.
Additional hair symptoms you may experience from washing your hair in hard water include:
breakage
brassiness or a green hue
frizziness
Some people have even experienced hair loss as a result of hair breakage.
Short-term issues may turn into long-term problems
"These short-term issues will turn into long-term problems that will inevitably affect healthy hair growth as well," explains master hairstylist Marshall Lin.
One study involving 70 males found that hair lost strength when exposed to hard water, compared with deionized water. As a result, this led to hair breakage. And when the hair is weak, it thins.
Hard water can even make your hair colorist's job harder, says Mara Roszak, celebrity hairstylist and salon owner. When the hair is difficult to work with, "this leads to more stress on the hair overall."
Additionally, Dr. Patrick Angelos, author of "The Science and Art of Hair Restoration," says that hair loss can occur when hard water is severely affecting the scalp. This, however, is more common in people with eczema or psoriasis.
How to repair hair that has been damaged from hard water
If you're looking to bring damaged hair back to life, these techniques should do the trick.
Install a water softener shower head
Soft water is essentially the opposite of hard water. While it contains some minerals, the concentration is nowhere near as high as hard water.
This means that it's cleaner and healthier. While the best method for purifying your water is to install a water softener in your home, this can run on the expensive side.
A cost-effective alternative is to purchase a water softener shower head.
"These [shower heads] have cartridges that are filled with carbon to remove the minerals before the water touches the hair," says Martino Cartier, hairstylist and owner of Martino Cartier Salon.
Use a clarifying shampoo
A clarifying shampoo can help to revive hair damaged by hard water, according to Maria Elizabeth, owner of Salon deZen.
"The best way to restore the hair to its former glory is to remove the mineral build up," Elizabeth says.
Use it at least once a week and choose one "that focuses on this issue and not just removal of styling product buildup," Elizabeth explains.
Apply a hair mask
Restore moisture and shine into your locks with a nourishing hair mask at least two times per week.
"Make sure you're massaging well into the scalp and working it through to the tips of your hair," Lin advises. "Leave masks on for a minimum of 5 minutes."
You can also soften the hair with a leave-in conditioner. Elizabeth says to choose one that has a low pH. "This will help to close the cuticles back down, locking the moisture in and the minerals out."
Try a citrus and vinegar rinse
To combat damage from hard water, you must start at the scalp.
"You'll find that a mixture of water, vinegar, and a citrus juice of some sort is a good natural solution for treatment," Lin says.
Apple cider vinegar is a good option since it lowers the hair's pH and contains hair-healthy vitamins, such as vitamins B and C.
How to wash hair in hard water
Do you only have the option of showering with hard water? The good news is that you can still prevent damage using these hair-washing techniques.
First, start by focusing on the scalp, Cartier says. Whenever you're not using a clarifying shampoo, choose one that is ideally sulfate-free.
This will help remove excess oil and debris without stripping the hair.
If hair loss is a concern, Dr. Angelos says to rinse hair in the direction of natural growth, "from the crown forward toward the forehead."
Next, Paul Labrecque, celebrity hairstylist and artistic director at Paul Labrecque Salon and Skincare Spa, says to make sure the hair is completely rinsed before you add your conditioner.
If you can brave it, Labrecque recommends ending your shower or bath with cold water to seal your cuticles.
Solving hair damage starts right at the source — the water source, that is.
With minerals in hard water leaving your hair limp, brittle, and hard to style, it's important to take action.
You can eliminate the effects of hard water with a water softener or with some new hair-washing techniques. Either way, your hair will thank you.

By the way, what is you guys' stance on who "counts" as White and who doesn't? I'm particularily curious about the case of the Slavs (in their different groups, West, East and South Slavs), Italians, Greeks... I'm not trying to trick anyone, I know it's kind of a grey zone, I've heard people calling them white and some calling them mixed race, or calling them lower white-ish races.
Who can say that he has no non-Aryan ancestry at all in his family tree? Not I. Most people can say who their parents and grandparents are. Only a few Americans can go back as far as four generations, however. I doubt that as many as one percent of Americans can go back six generations with any degree of certainty. Jews and liberals seize this fact to confuse people with the claim that we're all mongrels, that there is no such thing as a "pure" race, etc. -- therefore, it doesn't do any good to try to preserve the White race, because it really doesn't exist.
I'm sure that you are not fooled by that sophistry. We must be practical. We know that there is a White race, and that it is easy to select individuals from that race who constitute a relatively "pure" sub-group. I'm not an expert on Amerindian ethnology, but I do know that the Indians consisted of many tribes which were racially distinct, ranging from essentially Caucasoid to essentially Mongoloid. So if one has Indian admixture, it depends a lot on what tribe. As a very rough rule, if a person looks White and thinks of himself as White and is the kind of person our other members wouldn't mind their sisters marrying-and if we know that he's no more than one-sixteenth non-White, we consider him White.
As I said, that's a rough rule. A person may believe that one of his grandparents was an Indian, because that grandparent lived on a reservation. But the fact is that many people who consider themselves Indians today and live on reservations are more White than Indian, due to earlier racial mixture between Whites and Indians.
Due to the generally deplorable understanding of race, it is necessary for us to emphasize that White people are the descendants of all historically European peoples, including the Irish, Slavs, Spaniards, Italians, Greeks, as well as the Germanic, Scandinavian, and Anglo-Saxon peoples, etc., so long as there is no discernible trace of non-White admixture. National Vanguard celebrates the cultural diversity of the White race. Our beautiful languages, traditions, and cultures are a strength. We are pan-European in our views and stand unconditionally opposed to conflicts between White peoples. Outside forces often exploit one White ethnicity against another. We do not excuse anti-White hatreds or historical "scores," and will consistently work towards reconciliation and unity in places such as the Balkans and Northern Ireland. Our watchword is no more brothers' wars.

Interview with Head Coach Héctor Cabrera
Interviewed by Yeray Espinosa Cuevas
Quidditch Post: How are you preparing your team for European Games (EG)?
Cabrera: This season is the best one to date from the point of view of preparation. We've had a few, but quite well–organised, training sessions, with a proper strategic and tactical plan from the start. At our June training session, our players were able to internalize our strategic plan. Now, just weeks from Oslo, all that lies in front of us is individual work and mental preparation.
QP: What are you hoping to achieve at the tournament?
Cabrera: From a development standpoint, to establish a strong style of play, capable of facing Europe's best. Competitively, we are currently seeded sixth, and that's the lowest position we should accept. Breaking into the top five would be a clear success for us.
QP: Which teams do you particularly want to play against?
Cabrera: I think Germany right now stands as our biggest threat in the group phase; we are aware of their improvement since World Cup. Then, on the one hand, facing the UK or Norway again to try to best our last results against them would be interesting, but on the other hand, it would be a pleasure to face France, and also to meet new teams from Group C.
QP: What challenges have you had to face in the build-up to this tournament?
Cabrera: Mostly economical ones. It is no secret that getting to Oslo is expensive, and we have lost some of our first choices for the roster over that. Apart from that, Asociación Quidditch España (AQE) [the governing body of quidditch in Spain] is still growing, and I'm sure that in future seasons we will benefit from a more regular training calendar.
QP: What are the strengths of your team? Are there any key players we should watch out for?
Cabrera: I'd say that we are strong on fast and agile players, as well as having a great deal of previous experience playing internationally in most of the players. I'd keep an eye on Pablo Rey as a frenetic beater, and also on Andoni Aranguren – always a sure bet in the green headband. At the same time, I think that Raqui Martínez is going to follow in the steps of Siena Martínez in Frankfurt and be a key player [at EG].
QP: You had three (as of publication) drops (Pedro Muiños, Ali Muiños, and Jorge Rodríguez). How did that affect your team?
Cabrera: The three of them are very impressive players, all coming from the current Spanish champion club, Lumos Compostela, and we were initially counting on them. Thankfully, we have been able to cover their spots with talented players, some of them having played with the team last July (Pedro G-Tarrio), and others merging into the roster with ease and showing they deserve the spot. In the end, we're attending with a full roster, and that's great.
Moreno is tipped to be one of Spain's best beaters | Photo credit: Ajantha Abey Quidditch Photography
By Sarah-Louise Lewis
As we head into the European Games, Spain are determined to improve on their performance at the World Cup last year and show that they are not to be underestimated.
Captain Miguel Vázquez is an experienced leader and has the trust of his players, which will be essential on pitch. Spain has a good beater defense in Pablo Rey and Laura Moreno: Rey is small, agile, and speedy in his play style which will be key in terms of attack and defense – especially after the dropout of Jorge Rodríguez, and Moreno is one of the best beaters on the team. She is an outstanding tackler for her size and also has good positioning which allows her to make easy beats. With these two, we can expect the chasers to have plenty of opportunities to move forward and score.
In Spain's quaffle game, Andoni Aranguren is growing into the role of primary keeper in the absence of Pedro Muiños. He is a competent driver who will be looking to unlock defences with his intense pushes as a key part of Spain's offence. Fraser Posford is an experienced point defender who adds some steel to the defence; he will be key in holding off players and forcing quaffle turnovers. The trio of chasers Paula Marmolejo, Irene Velasco, and Raqui Martínez are all confident in playing through contact and driving those extra few meters to finish off a hoop. They might be what Spain needs to get those goals and reach the higher stages of the tournament. Finally, Manuel Lago is a tall chaser who has superb aerial skills and is extremely potent around the hoops.

The Spanish team are more than capable of reaching the quarterfinals but reaching that stage will most likely involve a SWIM match in the first round of bracket play on Day Two. This places a lot of importance on seekers Sandor Aritz Augusto and Artur Martin (who has only just returned from a broken hand).
While Spain have been able to train and prepare more than they have in previous years, they have only been able to hold so many training sessions during this season. The downside of this is that even though they have had successful training sessions, they have not been able to get all 21 players together due to financial and geographical issues (i.e., players coming from all over Spain and even one player residing in the US). This means that they might lack the chemistry the other teams have when they start the tournament.
With all that aside, Spain seem confident moving into European Games and are definitely out to prove that they are constantly improving and can compete with the top teams. The team came 10th at World Cup 2016, which was a real achievement for them. They will be looking to beat Italy and Catalonia again and have their rematch against Austria. From there they will push even harder to earn a place in the quarterfinals and a chance to have a go at one of the top five teams.

Soft and chewy Gingerbread Brownies are your favorite holiday cookie in rich chocolate brownie form all smothered in luscious Eggnog Cream Cheese Frosting!
These Gingerbread Brownies are destined to become a must make holiday favorite and so much easier than rolling/baking individual cookies!
I am not an eat-every-brownie-in-site person – but these Gingerbread Brownies made me into one! These zingy Gingerbread Brownies with Eggnog Cream Cheese Frosting are wonderfully rich and chewy with a touch of molasses and bursting with warm Christmas spices of cinnamon, ground ginger, crystallized ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. They boast a festive complexity of flavor and the perfect amount of ginger kick which is mellowed and complimented by the silky Eggnog Cream Cheese Frosting. So basically, they will turn you into an eat-every-brownie-in-site person too!
Aside from their scrumptiousness, I love these Gingerbread brownies because, unlike cookies, they are a dump and smooth recipe instead of a roll/shape cookie after cookie recipe AKA they are simple to make which means they make fabulous party/neighbor/friend gifts like this and this. Like most brownie recipes, I also think the flavor develops more after a day, so they are an ideal make ahead dessert.
Like my Gingerbread Whoopie Pie recipe, this Gingerbread Brownies recipe utilizes crystalized ginger which I think makes all they difference. Crystalized ginger should be easily available at all grocery stores (and especially health food stores such as Sprouts, Whole Foods etc) – if you can't find it, just ask someone working there. Crystallized ginger is typically made from young ginger root – the actual stem that grows underground – because it is more tender than the mature roots. It is peeled and steeped in cane sugar syrup to create a pungent sweet heat that is simply irresistible! I use 3 tablespoons minced crystallized ginger for a spicy ginger kick but feel free to use less for a more mild ginger kick.
The sweet bite of the crystalized ginger is complimented by they silky Eggnog Cream Cheese Frosting. This luscious frosting is silky smooth, spiced with nutmeg and eggnog and then dusted with cinnamon. You will want to smother this frosting on everything, and I have. I have an Eggnog Cookie Recipe coming your way which utilizes the same Eggnog Cream Cheese Frosting because its that good.

Pin them to your DESSERT, CHRISTMAS or CHOCOLATE Board to SAVE for later!

*I use 3 tablespoons minced crystallized ginger for a spicy ginger kick but feel free to use less for a more mild ginger kick.
**I highly recommend making the Gingerbread Brownies a day in advance as they taste even better the next day!
Wow!! I love the idea behind this recipe! Super creative. I can't wait to try these!!
Thank you Laura, I am excited for you to try them too! I hope you love them as much as us!
I am new to your blog Jen, but very impressed with your recipes!! I just bought a beef chuck roast for your French dip sandwiches to make this week. So excited!! I have a really stupid question?? I have no idea how to go from your home page on your site to older posts?? Can you help??
Hi Wendy, welcome to my site! Not a stupid question at all! If you are on desktop then you can scroll down past the big green Meal Plans Button and it will say Recent posts and show you 4 recent recipes with photos with the option to click the gray button "More Recent Recipes". To get to recipes by category, click on "Recipe Index" on the top toolbar and then scroll using your arrow keys down. If you are on your phone, you can do the same thing to get to Recent Recipes. To get to the Recipe Index, then click the "Navigation" button that is just below the Carlsbad Cravings. Just after I typed that I check and my Navigation Button isn't working- ah, sorry about that! I'll have to get that fixed ASAP! Any way, I hope that helps!
These are DELICIOUS! Moist, chewy and great ginger flavor. And that's without trying the frosting. I will add the frosting when I'm ready to give as gifts. These are so much easier than cookies and since my "little" ones are grown, it suits my needs a bit better. I baked mine in a pampered chef brownie pan, just shortened the time and I tried a few in a mini muffin pan. I plan on making a full batch in the mini muffin pan, creating bite size treats! Thanks again for sharing, your recipes are consistently amazing. Merry Christmas!
Hi Tawnia, I am so happy you made these already and loved them! What a fabulous idea to bake in mini muffin tins – I bet those are adorable!!! I am going to have to try that sometime! Thank you so much for taking the time to comment, Merry Christmas!
Hi- These just came out of the oven and my house smells wonderful! Just noticed that with the frosting you say to mix vanilla, nutmeg, and cinnamon…but I don't see cinnamon listed in ingredients except for sprinkling on at the end. Do you mix cinnamon into the frosting as well or just sprinkle on top? Thanks! Happy Holidays!
Good catch! I omitted the cinnamon in the actual frosting because I though it was to strong both in the frosting and sprinkled – so just sprinkle ontop. I'll update the recipe. Thanks!
Just wanted to let you know that these were AMAZING! My whole family raved about them….and the whole pan was eaten by the end of the evening. Thanks again for an awesome recipe! And I did end up adding cinnamon to the frosting…..not too strong at all….delicious! But I'm a spice girl!
YAY! I'm so happy these were such a huge hit! I'm so glad the extra cinnamon wasn't too strong – it's hard to please everyone's palates so I wanted to error on the side of less 🙂 Thank you for returning and letting me know how much your family loved them!
Oh wow these look incredibly tasty, and I love your photography as well!
Thank you so much Julia! I hope you can try them soon!
I made these yesterday and they are a wonderful holiday treat! I omitted the candies ginger (didn't have on hand and didn't feel like going out for one more thing!) and I still got the flavor of gingerbread. That frosting is the bomb!
Hi Cindy, I'm so happy you loved these brownies even without the crystallized ginger! And I agree, the frosting is the bomb 🙂 Thank you so much Cindy!
Loved the warmth of the ginger in these and the frosting. I thought the molasses might be a bit strong but it gave the brownies a good depth of flavour.
Thank you so much Nat, Ii'm so happy they were a winner! Merry Christmas!

Q: Typescript Error: TS2339: Property 'span' does not exist on type 'JSX.IntrinsicElements' All of a sudden my react typescript project has started rejecting <span> tags with
TS2339: Property <span> does not exist on type 'JSX.IntrinsicElements'

Every other tag is absolutely fine, but <span>s any where in my .tsx files throw this error.
Can anyone advise?

A:
Can anyone advise?

*

*Make sure you have import * as React from 'react' in your file

*Update types for react npm install @types/react

A: I had the same problem but for me, it was the p element.
The reason for the error was that I refactored a p element to h3 for instance and VSCode changed also the type definition.
As you pointed out cleaning the node_modules and doing a fresh npm install does the trick.
Just wanted to point out what could cause the problem.

A: i had the same issue with section element.
literally, what worked for me was:
deleting the type declaration - JSX.Element, and the  element, and return them.
after that VSCode accepted.

What I'm Doing This Weekend
Jen Bosworth Photo: Courtesy of Jen Bosworth
Up next in our series of weekend plans from notable, in-the-know locals—a.k.a. people we like: Jen Bosworth, comedian and writer. Why Not Me runs from Thursday, August 14 through Sunday, August 17.
"Friday, I have an audition for a play, so I'm going to get my hair did. I go to this amazing salon called Trixie Girl Blowdry Bar. They do your hair and there's no frilly stuff and then you get out. Then I'll go to Dollop Coffee Co. The best drink there is The Honey Badger. It's honey chai with almond milk. After my audition, I always go to Pockets. I get a delicious falafel pita with all the trimmings.
"Then I will head to my show at Theater Wit. It's a solo show mainly about my life in LA, working for Nicolas Cage and then realizing that I needed to go home and care for my parents. They both passed away and I fell in love and the show is about that journey. It's a comedy, but it also has some serious stuff. This is its third run; it opened at Stage 773 in 2012 and then last summer we were in New York for the Fringe Festival.
"After the show, I will go to Cooper's across the street. Cooper's has the best pulled pork sandwich; I'm a pulled pork nut. Then I'll go to Ricochet's Tavern and Bar with my friend and hang out. I like dive bars.
"Saturday, I'll hang out all day with my niece and nephew. We'll probably go to Humboldt Park. They love to swim and my sister usually hooks up a badminton net and we spend the day there. My sister gets empanadas from 5411 Empanadas—both the sweet and the savory. The blue cheese and mushroom is my favorite.
"On Sunday, I will have brunch at Victory's Banner; the staff are the sweetest people. It's American cuisine but it's owned by people of a certain Indian faith. Then I'll probably have coffee with friends at Lovely. It's this huge coffee shop that looks like a farmhouse and they have delicious pastries. Then to celebrate the end of my show, maybe I'll go to Evanston Movie Theater and see Guardians of the Galaxy." —As told to Tomi Obaro

I have developed a new success system to bring the best out of you and bring you the success you may have failed to attain before. I have studied the teaching of the masters of success, motivation, and spirituality and found out the missing link that they seemed to all teach but never placed in their own action plans. I have also integrated this basic financial principle to bring you more cash flow, to pay down debt and start to bring a better future. Think of yourself as an iceberg what people can see is only a small amount. The truth is that what people don't see is your true potential. I only help you unlock and bring that potential to the surface. Where all can see the true success and the true you. If you know someone that needs help please send them to me. Thank you!

Getting Emotional About Gaming
I know that this isn't fresh off the upload blocks in YouTube terms but it's new to me. It's a great video containing bright and inspiring ideas.One of the fears of psychologists and the public at large pertains to the disassociative effects of gaming, our inurement to violence, killing and atrocity. The idea of reconnecting gamers with emotional experiences is brilliant. I look forward to seeing if and how this develops.
Mystery on Fifth Avenue
Here is another post inspired by last week's Playful Event. I was tempted to call this post 'Rekindling of Faith' which is the feeling I had after hearing Eric Clough talking about his architectural-puzzle-wonder on Fifth Avenue in NY. Eric was commissioned to apply his architectural and design talents to create a 'non-cookie-cutter style apartment' for the Klinsky-Sherry family. What followed was this:
1. The architectural designer Eric Clough embedded 18 clues in the Fifth Avenue apartment of the Klinsky-Sherry family, leading them on a scavenger hunt through the rooms of their home.
But not all at once. One of the things I love about this is the patience, the ability to hold back, wait:
Finally, one day last fall, more than a year after they moved in, Mr. Klinsky received a letter in the mail containing a poem that began:
We've taken liberties with Yeats
to lead you through a tale
that tells of most inspired fates
in hopes to lift the veil.
The letter directed the family to a hidden panel in the front hall that contained a beautifully bound and printed book. The book led them on a scavenger hunt through their own apartment.
3. A rectangular panel in the den and guest room opens to reveal acrylic slices, far left, that fit together to form a cube. When the chamfered magnetic cube lodged above the slices is dragged over the 24 panels on a nearby wall, they open.
4. Behind the panels, large white letters laser-cut into teal blue acrylic spell out the words of a poem written years ago by Steven B. Klinsky, the apartment's owner, for his wife, Maureen Sherry, and their children.
5. Decorative leather molding stamped with letters in a hallway can be popped out and wrapped around a rod removed from the foot of Ms. Sherry and Mr. Klinsky's bed so that the letters on the coiled leather spell out a clue.
Here's something else that I love about this story; here's a little piece from the full NYT article:
'Another evening, Ms. Sherry and Mr. Klinsky were lying in their custom-made bed when a rod running along its foot snapped off. "I'm thinking, What the heck kind of cheap bed is this?" said Ms. Sherry, who phoned Mr. Clough the next day.
His response, which might have taken a less adventurous person aback, was that she take a wait-and-see attitude, that the bed bit was part of a larger "story" and that all would be revealed in good time. Oh, and he told her to just snap the piece back into the bed.'
6. Behind a drawing of a plane that hangs in a hallway is a little niche containing a scale model of the kitchen, a clue that leads to a musical score written for the apartment, which is hidden in a drawer above the stove.
7. Millwork panels in a hallway were designed to look like Le Corbusier's Modular Man and da Vinci's Vitruvian Man. Puzzle pieces hidden in one fit together to make a key that opens the other.
8. In assembling talents for his project, Mr. Clough aimed high. His first choice for the author of the book that contains clues to the scavenger hunt in addition to the mystery story, was Jonathan Safran Foer, whose work contains its own sort of coded narrative pyrotechnics. Mr. Clough sent him a puzzle cube similar to this one, stamped with his firm's phone number and the word "Please."
9. Photographs of the apartment's original interiors have secret writing on the back that reveals the number of salamanders in the apartment. The salamander is a motif that is part of the puzzle and appears throughout the apartment.
10. Door knockers on opposite walls of a hallway initially seemed pointless. They can be removed and joined to create a crank that opens hidden panels in the dining room sideboard.
11. The custom-made sideboard has hidden panels on either side that can be cranked open to display keys and keyholes.
12. When the correct keys are used, hidden drawers are revealed.
13. The drawers contained acrylic letters and a table-size cloth imprinted with the beginnings of a crossword puzzle. The answers to the crossword puzzle led to the panels in the guest room, behind which were the words of the poem.
14. The children's bedrooms have radiator covers with poems written specifically for each child cut into them in code. The Caesar Shift cipher in the bedroom of the oldest child, Cavan, was broken by a friend.
All pictures taken from the NYT slideshow 'Cracking the Code'. Full 'Mystery on Fifth Avenue' article and narrative here.
Bloody wonderful.

Arcade: Stage One
New fun in a nascent stage at the BAC. I'm waiting for my slot in the Basement this Friday. Here was the first assignment to gain entry:
Dear (Codename)
Here are the asks we make of you to complete Stage One of the Arcade experiment.
* Please describe, with words and/or pictures, the first place - real or imagined - that comes into your mind when you read the phrase 'underground space'.
* Please create a digital image/photo of a childlike sketch of 'a house with a cellar beneath it'.
Please send these to e.speckle@playbeards.info by midnight on Sunday 18th May. Stage Two of the Arcade will open on Monday 19th May.
For further explanation of these asks, please visit arcadestageone.wordpress.com
Edmund Speckle
The picture above and the following text are my rather hurried contributions:
'Underground Space'
The first underground space I remember as such was encountered deep within two gnarled and ancient oak trees growing from a bank near the house of my grandmother. I pushed my way in between the roots and sat in the soft clay dust and dry leaves holding my favourite toy cat Henry, hiding from the rest of family walking up the lane behind me. The smell of dampness, earth, the feeling of concealment; the thrill of being unseen; hearing them call my name; amusement turning to faint panic. The sound of my own breath as I hugged myself into fierce invisibility.
Playing Mind Games
The stella success and rise of the Wii (20 million handsets and climbing) has made it clear that gamers are ready for new ways interaction. Good article in a special Tech Feature NewScientist this week on the growing use and interest in software similar to EEG in the development of new gaming interactions and experiences:
TWO players sit across a table from one another, staring at a small white ball on a track between them. Both are wearing headbands and concentrating, trying to nudge the ball towards their opponent. All they can use is the power of thought.
This is Mindball, an addictive "mind game" in which the winning strategy is to remain as focused and relaxed as possible in the heat of battle. The ball rolls away from the player with the calmest mind, as measured by sensors on their headbands.

An End To The Ceasefire?
Browsing through the British Gaming Blog's highlights of 2007 I'm having a real struggle trying to justify to myself how I can go on without the purchase of a games console. Specifically a Wii. On a personal level my obsessive streak plus the ability to get truly terrified by the more gruesome games should be reason enough to steer clear; and yet, on a professional level, the sheer scale and growth in the market, not to mention the scale for continuing growth, makes it a nonsense that I or on anyone else in the industry don't play. Hmmm. While I'm tussling with this, have a drool over the wonder of Super Mario Galaxy:
And yes, I know that living a game vicariously through clips on a website is somewhat missing the point.
Glorious Gaming
As is often the way a conversation with Alistair sent me scuttling for the Google search bar. There are some wonderful and exciting things going on in the world of gaming: Chipuya - the Japanese avatar creating shopping and tresaurehunting ARG that rewards its predominantly female games players with tokens for their real world shopping in the Shibuya Shopping Mall. Chipuya Town is a Flash-based 2D version of real-world Tokyo youth hotspot Shibuya that users will be able to navigate around and interact in with avatars. The offering also features a virtual currency system which can be redeemed for avatar clothing as well as interior goods for avatar rooms, and according to the press release for mobile content such as full track music downloads, too.
I've just really enjoyed listening to the Gaming Academy on Radio 4 - the games in development are available to play at Dare To Be Digital. Good stats on UK gaming too via the BBC: UK gamers spent 3 billion dollars this year, up 25% on last year:
Last week more than £87.9m worth of games were sold, setting a new record.
Paul Jackson, director general of industry body Elspa, said games were now "truly mass market".
"Videogaming is enjoyed by everyone, young and old, male and female," he said.
The prognosis across all the major titles is a consensus that gaming is in its 'golden age'.

'Once Upon A Time, Life' & Interactive Nanotechnology
Now, you may not think that nanotechnology and badly dubbed cartoons have much in common. Oh yea of little faith. A recent post on Futurelab about three games designed allow the exploration of nanotechnology reminded me of my favourite cartoon from the 1980s. 'Once upon a time, Life.' As a child I was always up wincingly early. Luckily for my parents I quickly discovered the joy of early-morning tv: 'Once Upon a Time, Life' was on Channel 4 at about 6am. I vividly remember an episode about a little boy with leukaemia who received bone marrow from his brother; as an adult I'm both a blood donor and on the bone marrow register. I'm pretty convinced that my weakness for medical dramas of all flavours (plus the misguided notion that this in someway gives me somekind of medical expertise) is all attributable to OUATL. I've just downloaded the NanoMedicine module to play with. I'll let you know.

Mushiking Hunt
I treated myself to an English newspaper (3 bloody euros 60) this morning to read whilst I ate my breakfast. I love this article about the Japanese video game, beloved of six-year-olds, which is having a disastrous consequences for the stag beetle. But "how?" I hear you exclaim. Read on:
With their shiny black shells, twitching legs and spiky black antlers, stag beetles are an unlikely item on a list of highly prized luxuries. But now, a rare breed is in danger of hunted to extinction for the entertainment of six-year-old video-game players in Japan.
The craze has been driven by Mushiking (Insect King) a video arcade game in which small boys fight one another with digital stag beetles.
Much like the owl-frenzy which gripped the globe during Potter-Fever demand for the types of beetles used in the game (different species have different battle moves and strength rating, a kind of beetle trumps - the arcade machines dispense collectible cards) means that a million beetles a year are being imported into Japan, where they are sold on internet auction sites for as 40,000 yen (170 squid). The king of Mushiking is Lucanus cervus akbesianus: a six antennaed beast of a stag beetle known in entomological (and latterly amongst Japanese gamers) circles for its territorialism and fierce fights to the death. Unsurprisingly, this is the beetle put under the most iminent pressure of extinction by the craze. As this is in the dead tree international edition, I couldn´t find it in Times online, but I did find these:

Valuation of Survivor Annuities
By: Mark K. Altschuler
In a recent case, the Superior Court of Pennsylvania has found that a survivor annuity in an ERISA plan is marital property and may be assigned a value, as a pension is valued. In an equitable distribution proceeding when both spouses have pensions, the marital present value of each are included as marital assets. In the simplest case, assuming no other assets, if the marital present values are equal, the pensions offset each other. If the husband's pension has a marital present value of $100,000, and the wife's pension has a marital present value of $75,000, the husband can buy out the wife's interest in his pension with a cash payment of $12,500.
In the Palladino case, (713 A.2d 676, Pa. Super. 1998), the Superior Court has found that the same reasoning applies to the wife's interest as a survivor annuitant of husband's pension, in a post retirement case involving an ERISA pension. While it is true that wife's benefit is contingent upon husband's death, this survivor benefit has a real value, similar to life insurance. In ERISA plans (as opposed to non-ERISA plans, such as government, Railroad Retirement, and public school teachers' plans), a married employee must choose a joint and survivor annuity at retirement, unless this is waived by the spouse. After retirement, this option cannot be changed in almost all ERISA plans, even after divorce. The survivor benefit is based upon the entire retirement benefit, not just the marital component. This was the case in Palladino. The Superior Court stated:
"The pension plan is a private plan subject to E.R.I.S.A. Mark K. Altschuler, the pension actuary, testified that the plan is a defined benefit plan -defined by a formula."
The Court compared the marital part of husband's pension to wife's contingent survivor annuity, which is entirely marital. The survivor annuity is completely marital, since it was acquired entirely during the marriage. The non- employee spouse who is the survivor beneficiary did not earn any portion of this benefit before or after the marriage. One can say that wife will only receive the annuity if husband dies and is survived by wife. This is true. But husband will only receive his pension if he lives. Both contingencies are taken into account in the actuarial calculation of present value of the pension and the survivor annuity. The statistics are built into the present value, and the survivor annuity has a present value, just like the pension. A real life example will illustrate this point. The world's oldest living human with a provable birthdate, now age 118, is Sarah Knauss. Her husband, Abraham Lincoln Knauss (born in 1879), retired from Lehigh County in the 1930's or 1940's with a reduced survivor pension. He died in 1965, and she has been collecting her survivor annuity for over 30 years.
The only significant difference between valuing the pension and valuing the survivor annuity is that the pension valuation is based upon husband's age, and the survivor annuity valuation is based on both husband's and wife's ages. The present value of the pension is based upon the participant living, while the present value of the survivor annuity is based upon the spouse outliving the participant. In the Palladino case, the Superior Court stated this in the following manner:
"The present value of the survivor annuity was calculated at trial by using standard mortality table and the prevailing interest rates. In calculating the value, the actuary from Pension Analysis Consultants, Inc., utilized the concept of a single premium annuity, which is an annuity purchased today in one payment in order to provide a monthly benefit in the future. Therefore, the cost to purchase a pension of $976.00 per month to start now based upon husband's age and life expectancy, calculated at a 6.48% interest/discount rate and using Mortality Table GAM-83, would be $99,850.00. Utilizing the same method, the cost to purchase wife's survivorship interest as a single premium annuity would be $57,480.00 Therefore, the value of wife's survivor annuity is $57,480.00."
Note that a present value is equivalent to the purchase price of a single premium annuity, where the annuity (monthly benefit in the future) is purchased with a single payment today. The single payment is the present value of the annuity (pension). The pension of $976.00 per month is the husband's pension, now in pay status. The present value of this pension is $99,850. When the Court said Utilizing the same method, they meant that PAC utilized the same interest rate (6.48%) and the GAM-83 mortality tables. The difference is that in calculating the present value of the pension, the male mortality table only was used, while in calculating the present value of the survivor annuity, the joint mortality was used.
Once the present value of the survivor benefit has been established ($57,480) this is compared to the marital present value of the husband's pension. To quote from the Superior Court's opinion:
"PAC (Pension Analysis Consultants, Inc.) calculated the present value of Husband's pension... In order to determine the marital portion of Husband's pension, the present value must be multiplied by a coverture fraction, which is marital service divided by total service... Therefore, the marital portion of Husband's pension is $51,140.00."
In this case, the marital present value of the pension is less than the present value of the survivor benefit. There are two reasons for this: the pension is not entirely marital (the coverture fraction is .5487), and the value of the survivor annuity is relatively high, since the wife is 16 years younger than the husband. Hence, the Court decided that there would be no immediate offset regarding husband's pension. A very careful reader may note that .5487 x $99,850 = $54,788 not $51,140. The reason is that separation was before retirement, and the accrued benefit as of the date of separation is $911 per month, with a present value of $93,202. $93,202 x .5487 = $51,140, the marital present value of the pension.
In a similar case with the ages closer, and the service primarily marital, the present value of the survivor benefit will likely be much less than the marital present value of the pension. For example, if the marital present value of husband's pension is $100,000 and the present value of wife's contingent survivor annuity is $25,000, the remainder subject to equitable distribution is $75,000, and the husband can buy out wife's interest in his pension with a cash payment of $37,500.
Thus, the Superior Court of Pennsylvania has found that in a post retirement case involving an ERISA pension where a joint and survivor option was chosen at retirement, the survivor benefit is a marital asset to be valued using the same present value methodology used in valuing a pension.
As of footnote, the Superior Court in this case upheld PAC's use of gender-specific mortality tables, reflecting the market value of pensions and annuities.
