This bibliography covers English-language Q-methodology research literature on the responses of 'audiences' to messages or other communication events. It defines the audience broadly to include familiar roles of reader, spectator, listener, citizen, and viewer, as well as the newer or adjacent audience roles of observer, user, visitor, customer, consumer, player, traveler, and prosumer. The emphasis is on subjective interpretation of messages, especially mediated messages, and on associated meaning-making. Included are journal articles, books, book chapters, reports, and papers presented at conferences, but not theses, dissertations, or blog posts.
The current version of the bibliography is apt to evolve through time as overlooked and new titles are added, so those stricken with bibliomania are encouraged to return to the URL above from time to time to retrieve the most up-to-date list.
Our great thanks to Charles Davis for expending his time and energy on this project on our behalf. May it serve as a model and inspiration for others to follow suit vis-à-vis their own favorite topics.

Q: Scheduling cron jobs on Google Cloud DataProc I currently have a PySpark job that is deployed on a DataProc cluster (1 master & 4 worker nodes with sufficient cores and memory). This job runs on millions of records and performs an expensive computation (Point in Polygon). I am able to successfully run this job by itself. However, I want to schedule the job to be run on the 7th of every month.
What I am looking for is the most efficient way to set up cron jobs on a DataProc Cluster. I tried to read up on Cloud Scheduler, but it doesn't exactly explain how it can be used in conjunction with a DataProc cluster. It would be really helpful to see either an example of cron job on DataProc or some documentation on DataProc exclusively working together with Scheduler.
Thanks in advance!

A: For scheduled Dataproc interactions (create cluster, submit job, wait for job, delete cluster while also handling errors) Dataproc's Workflow Templates API is a better choice than trying to orchestrate these yourself. A key advantage is Workflows are fire-and-forget and any clusters created will also be deleted on completion.
If your Workflow Template is relatively simple such that it's parameters do not change between invocations a simpler way to schedule would be to use Cloud Scheduler. Cloud Functions are a good choice if you need to run a workflow in response to files in GCS or events in PubSub. Finally, Cloud Composer is great if your workflow parameters are dynamic or there's other GCP products in the mix.
Assuming your use cases is the simple run workflow every so often with the same parameters, I'll demonstrate using Cloud Scheduler:
I created a workflow in my project called terasort-example.
I then created a new Service Account in my project, called workflow-starter@example.iam.gserviceaccount.com and gave it Dataproc Editor role; however something more restricted with just dataproc.workflows.instantiate is also sufficient.
After enabling the the Cloud Scheduler API, I headed over to Cloud Scheduler in Developers Console. I created a job as follows:

Target: HTTP
URL: https://dataproc.googleapis.com/v1/projects/example/regions/global/workflowTemplates/terasort-example:instantiate?alt=json
HTTP Method: POST
Body: {}
Auth Header: OAuth Token
Service Account: workflow-starter@example.iam.gserviceaccount.com
Scope: (left blank)

You can test it by clicking Run Now.
Note you can also copy the entire workflow content in the Body as JSON payload. The last part of the URL would become workflowTemplates:instantiateInline?alt=json
Check out this official doc that discusses other scheduling options.

A: Please see the other answer for more comprehensive solution
What you will have to do is publish an event to pubsub topic from Cloud Scheduler and then have a Cloud Function react to that event.
Here's a complete example of using Cloud Function to trigger Dataproc:
How can I run create Dataproc cluster, run job, delete cluster from Cloud Function

Condon begins service on Equal Justice Works National Advisory Committee
Home > News Story > Condon begins service on Equal Justice Works National Advisory Committee
July 2, 2019 – Michelle Mensore Condon, who directs the pro bono program at the Charleston School of Law, recently was selected and began a two-year term on the National Advisory Committee for Equal Justice Works.
Founded by law students in 1986, Equal Justice Works is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that brings together an extensive network of law students, lawyers, legal services organizations, and supporters to promote a lifelong commitment to public service and equal justice.
"The Charleston School of Law has greatly benefitted from the opportunities Equal Justice Works provides to our students and alumni, and I am honored and energized to become more involved with this leading public service organization," Condon said.
"The Charleston School of Law is excited to have Michelle Condon selected for membership on this highly prestigious board. Equal Justice Works is a high impact organization whose mission closely coincides with that of our law school and of our motto – "pro bono populi" ("for the good of people"). Importantly, Michelle has spent her entire professional career making a profound impact on the lives of individuals and communities. So her participation on this high impact national advisory board is a perfect match," Dean Andy Abrams said.
Condon who received a law degree from Washington & Lee University, a master's in journalism from Northwestern University, and a bachelor's degree, cum laude, from the University of Notre Dame, joined the Charleston School of Law in 2006.
She previously served as the first public information director for the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia. She also practiced law as a West Virginia assistant attorney general and at Jackson Kelly, PLLC in Charleston, West Virginia. Her practice focused on constitutional law issues, including media law, as well as employment law and healthcare law. She has taught media law courses for 19 years and teaches media law courses as an adjunct professor at the Charleston School of Law. She has been active in public service efforts in South Carolina, including serving on the South Carolina Supreme Court's Access to Justice Commission and the board of South Carolina Legal Services.
More biographical information on Condon can be found here.
Condon's term on the Equal Justice Works National Advisory Committee runs from July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2021. More information on Equal Justice Works can be found here.

Hoarder houses including the famed Greenwich murder house proved to be very popular with property buyers. So what is the big appeal?
When an unconventional house hits the market everyone loves a good sticky beat, but no more so than when it's a hoarder house.
The north shore saw a number of these houses hit the market in 2018 and all had one thing in common — they were popular.
While some may be put off living in a house where a murdered body was found or derelict home left to rot, many see it as an opportunity to score a "bargain" in some of Sydney's most expensive suburbs.
The sale of this Greenwich house was one of the most high profile sales in 2018. No. 31 Greendale St was the site where a mummified body was found wrapped in carpet.
The 10-year-old corpse was found by cleaners in May, who were tasked with removing all the junk from inside.
Pictured provided exclusively to The Daily Telegraph at the time, revealed rooms of garbage and debris stacked to shoulder height, including old newspapers and cardboard.
The rubbish extended to the corridors, while years of dust and cobwebs covered the walls and doors.
The property had belonged to deceased owner Bruce Roberts, a reclusive hoarder who died of a heart attack almost a year before the body was discovered.
The auction was incredible, more than 200 people gathered on the street to watch the home sell for $2.07 million — $270,000 above the reserve, thanks to 11 eager registered bidders.
According to CoreLogic the result is nearly $500,000 less than Greenwich's median sale price of $2.575 million.
The purchasers of the property were an expatriate family living in Singapore.
Mr Ferguson said besides clearing out the property, the home was in its original state when it went up for sale.
In August a derelict West Pymble property sold for $1.49 million after it was repossessed by the bank.
Sold for the first time in 40 years, 45 Lofberg St had been left to rot for 20 of those years, before $30,000 was spent cleaning the property up in preparation for sale.
A crowd of 100 people turned out to watch 16 bidders vie for the property, Mark Blake of Luschwitz said.
Bidding started at $1 million, but what happened next surprised Mr Blake.
The bidder who placed the $1.3 million bid ended up with the house. The family plans to knock it down and build a new home.
According to neighbours, the property was a hoarder's house, with rubbish scattered inside the property and out, as well as being overgrown with trees and bushes.
Mr Blake said a major clean-up job was required to get the house ready to sell.
"We even found butter and milk in the fridge, that had been there for at least 20 years. It was so bad you couldn't even get in the garden," he said.
Huge interest ensured this Roseville Chase hoarders' house scored a strong result in November when it sold for $1,763,000 — $263,000 above reserve.
The unrenovated home at 17 Lockley Pde had 12 registered bidders battling it out for the deceased estate.
It was described as a "worst house, best street opportunity" in its realestate.com.au advert.
A mother, daughter and previously grandparents had been living there for nearly a century.
The mother and her husband had been collecting items for decades, so the home and yard was full of rubbish.
Raine and Horne Neutral Bay agent Shabina Kamal said the plan was to knock down the old home and rebuild.

The Medical Association of Jamaica (MIJ), not to be confused with the younger organization, Medical Doctor's Association of Jamaica, is a non-profit organization that consists of a group of doctors.
This organization was created to help the doctors who are members, with their personal and professional growth. It is the aim of the organization, that in helping its members develop personally and professionally, they will be better suited and equipped to contribute to the well being of society.
The MIJ evolved from the BMA Jamaica Branch which was constituted as the first overseas branch of the British Medical Association in 1877.
After independence, the Medical Association of Jamaica was formed to replace that body.
There are now over two thousand (2,000) members (representing all specialties, including medical students).
The MAJ is the umbrella organisation for all professional medical associations and societies in Jamaica. All of which has a representative elected to sit on the Council of the Association. Past Presidents, Branch Chairmen, and Chairman of special committees also sit on Council.
The MIJ provides a wide range of advisory services including health sector reform and rationalization, continuing medical education seminars and workshops, insurance – medical indemnity general, motor vehicle, health, disability and income replacement.
The activities of the Association are financed from the income derived from annual membership subscriptions, symposia, MAJ travel club, endorsements, investments, premium commission earned from the conduct of business services which include medical indemnity insurance, fax and photocopying.
The Association's head office is located in central Kingston and is staffed by an Administrator, Secretary/Receptionist, Secretary (Temporary) and two other full-time members of staff. There are branch offices in St. James, Manchester, and St. Ann.
The Association is a registered non-profit organization which is run by elected officers including a President, President Elect, Vice President, an Honorary Secretary and Assistant Honorary Secretary, an Honorary Treasurer and Assistant Honorary Treasurer, and a Council comprising of elected officers, past presidents and presidents/chairmen of member associations/societies.
The activities of the Association are run by a series of executive management committees.
Insurance; medical indemnity general, motor vehicle, health, disability and income replacement.
Therefore, becoming a part of MAJ makes sense. With the association's help and guidance, members will be able to keep abreast of what is happening in the medical field around the world, and also getting the opportunity to better their own skills with the seminars and workshops provided.
If you are interested in becoming a member, or just want more information, please visit their website at http://www.doctorsja.com/.

Sam was born as an answer to prayer after doctors told his parents that they wouldn't have children. His parents were involved in pastoral ministry in the underground church for 40 years in Saudi Arabia and India. Both had secular jobs and the family of six returned back to India in 1991 and ministered in the Indian Pentecostal Church of God in India.
Rajeev Cherian was born and raised in Bahrain before he moved to Canada. Raised in a Pentecostal family he was always surrounded with a ministry oriented household. The eldest of three boys, Rajeev found a liking for heavy music particularly rock and metal in his early teens. In his late teens he had the opportunity to study in Florida, US.
Sam was born as an answer to prayer after doctors told his parents that they wouldn't have children. His parents were involved in pastoral ministry in the underground church for 40 years in Saudi Arabia and India. Both had secular jobs and the family of six returned back to India in 1991 and ministered in the Indian Pentecostal Church of God in India. Despite this godly environment Sam did not have a relationship with God and strayed away from his roots. During an Inter Collegiate Prayer Fellowship camp Sam came to faith and understood the meaning of his salvation by the end of that camp. Since then he was actively involved in his Dad's church at various levels from the worship team to administrative tasks, prayer meetings and village outreaches. Closely involved in the worship team as a drummer, Sam ministered at different schools and colleges and occasionally sang for a praise and worship band, Faith Warriors.
Completing his Masters in Business Administration and Masters in Commerce, Sam founded India's first Christian metalcore band Whitenoiz that gained mainstream recognition in the music circuit and toured across India as a semi-professional vocalist. In the process they released their debut album titled 'Sovereign Name'. During this time, he got married to Bibby and have two adorable children Seth and Shekinah. Pursuing work, they relocated to Bahrain for three years and got involved in setting up a para-church organization. In 2014 they moved to Canada.
Sam had a specific vision to start this underground church to reach out primarily to people with musical influences who wouldn't normally walk into the confines of a church. Sam sees music as a connecting factor between people and hopes to establish their link with their Creator. Along with friends in accord they started taking prayer walks and drives in and around Toronto for about two years before opening the doors to Church Underground. Currently employed in the banking industry Sam continues to pursue his profession with ministry in Church Underground as Lead Pastor. He is a licensed pastor with the Canadian Christian Ministers Federation.
His mentors include Pastors C.O.John from IPC Bangalore, Peter Duraisami- Scott Mission & Church on the Rock International Ministries, Tommy Green- Revolution Reality & Sleeping Giant, Alan George- Life Church Campus Pastor, John McDonald- Canadian Christian Ministers Federation and many others who are continously pouring into his life.
Rajeev Cherian was born and raised in Bahrain before he moved to Canada. Raised in a Pentecostal family he was always surrounded with a ministry oriented household. The eldest of three boys, Rajeev found a liking for heavy music particularly rock and metal in his early teens. In his late teens he had the opportunity to study in Florida, US. During this phase he got involved with the growing music scene and discovered friends with similar musical taste and inclined towards the life of metal. Even though he had an early experience with God and was baptized Rajeev had no inclination towards God until he came across the band Mortification. This bands lyrics and approach challenged his lifestyle and encouraged a change in his relationship with God leading him to a committed and conscious walk with God.
Rajeev moved back to Bahrain and continued his education and work life. During this time, he got married to Leena and was blessed with two wonderful children Leanne & Ryan. In 2008 they moved to Canada and overcame one challenge after another experiencing miraculous moves from the hand of God. Some of them include Leanne's language delay from the age of six to Rajeev battling cancer. In all this the family only grew closer and are living as a witness to His Name Alone. After meeting Sam in Canada they realized that they had a similar vision and passion for wanting to make an impact in the lives of those who are particularly involved in the world rock and metal music. Rajeev reckons that music is a gift from God and is a powerful tool with the One who gave it. After waiting on the Lord, he has finally pursued his call to Church Underground alongside Sam as Director- Operations.

The City of Doha and its Prominent Features and Areas
May 13, 2013 , AndyRobert, Leave a comment
Doha is the capital city of the state of Qatar which is located on the coast of the Persian Gulf. It has a population of more than 1 million people. It is also included among the municipalities of Qatar. It is also the largest city of Qatar containing almost 60% of the overall population of Qatar. It is also considered as a major economic centre of the country. It is also the seat of the government of Qatar being ruled by Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani. It is also a centre for research and education as the area of Education City is situated in it.
The word Doha has its origin from the Arabic word ad-dawha which means the big tree. The early history of the area points to the fact that Doha was initially a fishing village at first. The area gradually developed and became what we see as present day Doha. In 1825, a war broke out between Qatar and Bahrain as a result of which Doha was left mostly destroyed and severely damaged. The area again began to develop in 1882 after the building of Al-Wajbah fortress in the south western part of Doha by Al Rayyan. In 1883, a dispute between Qatar and Ottoman arose. Qatari forces led by Qassim bin Mohammad Al Thani defeated Ottomans. The city gained prominence and was made the capital of British protectorate of Qatar in 1916. The city remained the capital of the nation after its independence.
The city of Qatar is divided into several districts and neighborhoods. Among these are Al-Bidda, Bin Mahmoud, Al Dafna, Al Hilal, Madinat Khalifa, Al Assiry, Al Mamoura, Al Markhiya, Al Nasr, Old Airport, Onaiza, Qutaifiya, Ras Abu Aboud, Al Sadd, Rumeilah, Al Waab, Wadi Al Sail and West Bay. Among these Bin Mahmoud is an important residential area in the city. Al Markhiya is a neighborhood in which a number of cultural and sports institutions are present including Al Markhiya Sports Club and Al Markhiya Art Gallery. Ras Abu Aboud consists of a number of hotels. Wadi Al Sail is a district which has undergone a lot of renovation and development in the recent years.
Other prominent areas include Al Sadd Doha which is a residential area consisting of hundreds of residencies. The area contains several malls. The area is also famous for its Royal Plaza. Another reason for the popularity of the area is its football team and sports complex. Another prominent area is Al Waab which consists of hundreds of residential apartments, villas and commercial and medical centers. The famous Doha Sports City is situated in this area. Different malls, schools and colleges are also present in this area.
West Bay Doha is another neighborhood in the city which has been recently developed. It is considered as one of the most prominent areas in the whole Doha. The area consists of modern structures and buildings such as skyscrapers and towers which distinguish this area from the other older areas of Doha. Al Dafna is another district in the city which is located at the seaside. The district is currently being developed into a central business district.
Abdul Hadi has been associated with the real estate Qatar industry for a decade. Being a real estate broker himself, Abdul Hadi specializes in Doha Properties and Houses in Qatar, especially West Bay Doha properties in Qatar. He writes articles for various property blogs and forums.

Review – Beware by Bonnie "Prince" Billy
Will Oldham is an odd fellow. From his innumerable monikers, his beard, to his habit of apparently releasing an album every few months, he is on a one-man crusade to corner the "rather eccentric country-tinged singer-songwriter" market. Maybe he's seen the duller likes of Bon Iver and Ray Lamontagne come along and steal his thunder, and he's just not happy about it. Or anything, for that matter.
Following on from last year's "Is This The Sea?" and "Lie Down In The Light" comes "Beware". The quality of his albums has taken something of a hit since "Bonnie Prince Billy Sings Greatest Palace Music" back in 2004. This was not well received, causing something of a storm back in the day, and prompted a seriously negative review in Pitchfork, amongst others. The criticism was largely thanks to reinterpretation of his own work as Palace Brothers/Music/Records, as pure Nashville Country rather than the cracked alt-Country/Americana everyone had kind of got used to. Now, I rather liked it; or some of it, at least. The versions of "West Palm Beach" and "New Partner" really shone, were better than their original lo-fi recordings, and as a whole I thought it worked nicely. But many felt he'd taken the piss and wrecked his own mystique.
So, since that album there's been "The Letting Go" and "Lie Down In The Light", both of which were disappointing, plus rather a lot of collaborations, of which "Superwolf" was ok, and the rest less than essential. Can he make a return to form with his new album, knuckling down and finally returning to the excellence of, well, much of his work from 1995 to "Master And Everyone"?
Listening to "Beware" I was at first disappointed, then a little buoyed (those darn glockenspiel!), then disappointed again. Look, I know I've already bummed out M Ward's Hold Time, but this is turning out to be a bit of a poor year for some of the old stalwarts. Where to begin? Well, first of all, for all the swinging country vibe, it just doesn't catch in the brain. Will Oldham has always managed to pen tunes, that for whatever odd reason, stick in the head. Not quite earworms, exactly, but tunes that dance just on the edge of conciousness, all day long, until you just have to listen to them again and again. Subliminal earworms, if you like. But this? Nothing. I pretty much forgot most of the songs the instant they stopped playing.
Is this just not having had enough time to listen properly, and let those tunes seep into my head? Possibly. But neither of his last two albums succeeded in doing that, and I'm not sure this one will either. It's not all bad, though, don't get me wrong. The single "I Am Goodbye" is carried along jauntily by all manner of countrified accoutrements – pedal steel, jangly Telecaster, flutes, fiddle. And loving the beard:
"Death Final" is a beautiful, fiddle-drenched ballad. Well, I say it's a ballad, I get the feeling he's being Bad Will again. "You Don't Love Me" shows his wicked wit again, saying how his paramour "loves the way my stomach jiggles" and how "my kiss rates as a 6 on a scale of 1 to 10".
But the album has the feel of a man who's running out of ideas, and is trying to make up for them by piling on instrument after instrument hoping no-one will notice the shallowness underneath. I really want to like this album more, but at the moment it's just not doing it for me.
Funnily enough, I was thinking of Smog/Bill Callahan whilst listening to "Beware". Bill came to prominence at around the same time as Billy, and whilst their music is generally quite different, it comes from the same dark place, and with similar influences, from old country and folk, seen through the prism of The Velvet Underground's more narcotic numbers. Now, Bill had a similar downturn, with albums like "Rain On Lens", but he pulled himself out of it, partly thanks to, well, cheering up a bit (and the lissom charms of Joanna Newsom can't have hurt, either¹). His last two albums have featured a few songs which are up there with his finest, like "From The Rivers To The Oceans" and "Rock Bottom Riser". Wonder if Billy C could take Willy O out for a beer, watch some Nascar, so one ol' dog can show another some new tricks.
¹ Speaking of which, if you were at the Homefires festival at the Conway Hall back in 2004, or 2005, when both were on the bill, were they seeing each other then? We have fond memories of her heckling him in the most elven, delicate way, by yelling "YOU RAWK!" very loudly in her best Valley girl voice. Answers on a postcard, please.

New Music – Super Furry Animals, Here We Go Magic
A nice little email popped into my Inbox this morning whilst surfing Jobserve to try and fend off incipient bankrupcy. It was from those lovely Super Furry Animals, telling me that there's a webcast tonight at 20:00 GMT, during which the band will be playing their new album, Dark Days/Light Years in its entirety.
As a little teaser, they've released a new MP3, "Inaugural Trams", which I've added below; it's also available on their website. Featuring Nick from Franz Ferdinand doing a rap in German1, like most new SFA tracks it's at once familiar and shinily new. As far as I can tell, it's all about the importance of trams in an integrated transport network. Oh, I don't know, don't ask me. Have a listen yourself.
Here We Go Magic did a session for WOXY last week, for the SXSW festival, and the station have happily let everyone download the four tracks. There are from their latest album, plus a new number "Surprise". Rather good they are too. In particular, "Fangela" and the previously mentioned "Tunnelvision" are the highlights. Do yourself a favour and pop over there and give them a listen. The band are off on tour with Grizzly Bear on their recently announced US tour. Lucky people.
Pop back here later as I'm hoping to have my review of Bonnie "Prince" Billy's new album up. That's if you're not doing anything better, of course.
1 I speak from personal experience here. German rap is quite possibly the worst form of music in the world. It just sounds so wrong.

New Details Emerge As Premier League Footballer Arrested On Suspicion Of Rape

Fresh details have emerged after a Premier League player was arrested on suspicion of rape.
On Monday, The Telegraph reported that an "internationally renowned" footballer in his late 20s had been arrested in north London and taken into custody over an alleged attack which is said to have taken place in June.
The unnamed player, who was due to play for his country at the upcoming World Cup in Qatar, was arrested at an address in Barnet on Monday.

"On 4 July, an allegation of rape of a woman in her 20s was reported to police," the Metropolitan Police said in a statement.
"It was reported the alleged rape happened in June 2022."
"Enquiries into the circumstances are ongoing," the statement added.
A new report from The Sun has provided further details about the arrest and the allegations against the player.
It is claimed he was arrested at 3am on Monday after six police cars arrived at his mansion in an early morning swoop.
The player, described in the report as "one of the best at his Premier League side", was taken into custody after a woman accused him of raping her during a holiday in the Mediterranean.

The woman, who is also in her 20s, is said to have shown police photos of "bruising" after reporting the alleged attack, which she claims took place during a holiday with the player last month.
The alleged victim fled the five-star resort she was staying at with the footballer and flew home.
She spoke to police on her return to the UK and made a full statement at a police station on Sunday, showing detectives photos that she claimed showed bruising on her body after the alleged attack.
The player is now set to miss his club's pre-season tour while the investigations continue, with the Premier League season due to get underway on August 5.

"The allegations are of the utmost seriousness," a source told The Sun.
"Club bosses are stunned about this. The player was due to be on a pre-season tour. He will now not be travelling with the side.
"The law must be allowed to dictate what happens next. The player's colleagues are absolutely dumbstruck about this. It is a hammer blow to the club, but the police must do their job."
The unnamed player's club has been contacted for comment by both The Telegraph and The Sun but is yet to release a public statement.

There are a number of great tools out there to help dealers move with the times and increase sales in the face of an increasingly digital marketplace. Here, we take a look at just some of the technologies on offer to the dealership industry.
As a dealership owner you will be in no doubt that the tide is shifting towards a more digital approach to car buying. Consumers are increasingly using the web to browse their options for buying both used and new cars before visiting dealerships. Many of them will know exactly which car they want and what price they want to pay before they so much as step onto your forecourt. So how can you, as a dealer, move with the times AND boost sales?
Marketing is probably your first area to consider when looking at ways to adopt digital tools. Improving your digital advertising can attract shoppers to your website and into your dealership. There are a number of businesses offering solutions that incorporate search, display, video and social media marketing for your dealership.
A number of social media management tools allow you to align your social media advertising with your customer data, resulting in hyper-targeted adverts and information, which can drive sales and engagement in your particular dealership's activities, promotions, events and stock. Influencing consumers at every stage of the car purchasing process now involves ensuring you are getting your dealership brand out there right from the beginning of a driver's online search activity.
Utilising digital retailing tools ties in with digital marketing and can help you to gain a better understanding of customer purchasing behaviour and desires than would ever be possible without today's new technologies. Using digital retailing tools dealership owners can target their advertising more effectively and even approach customers with the right kinds of deals and offers to suit their needs, without them even realising.
As well as the greater scope for data collection, digital retailing tools can also greatly simplify your sales process, with tools to help streamline the entire experience, online or in person. It is now possible to digitalise the deal-making process, the financing process and the transaction process.
Another area in which dealers will be fast to part with their cash is the installation of virtual reality technology to enhance customers' in-dealership buying experience. Franchises are about to start pouring thousands into VR tools and there's nothing to stop independent dealers from using these tools to attract customers, increase engagement and drive sales. Jaguar Land Rover trialled the tech in the UK before rolling it out in the US to promote the 2017 Land Rover Discovery model.
"As if our vehicles weren't exciting enough already, this new way of buying a car will engage customers further with our innovative capabilities," said Andy Goss, Jaguar Land Rover's sales operations director.
Using VR, customers are able to view new models from a variety of angles and in every colour and finish available. They can open doors, look inside and examine trim before using the tool to help them make their final choices on the configuration of their new car. VR offers another level of customer engagement that, at this point, can only be experienced in dealerships.
Investing in these kinds of digital tools doesn't always come cheap, of course, but during periods of strong sales and at such a crucial period of change in the industry, you'll need to put your hand in your pocket for some of these technologies if you are to take advantage of the sales potential. Remember, any additional equipment, software or hardware needs to be included on your new and used car dealerships insurance.
Shoppers are not about to stop browsing and buying online and it's up to dealers to embrace these changing buyer habits in order to maximise sales and increase customer service levels. Reaching potential buyers through targeted online marketing, ensuring your website is fully optimised for online sales and using technology to engage drivers in the sale experience when they visit your dealership, will all help you to grow your business and take a large slice of a very lucrative pie.


With all the faction LTQs, why not have a faction bonus for reducing energy regeneration? You have one for health. Let's have one for energy too.
Good idea, except when everybody has it they would just increase the amount of energy needed to complete each job. In the end, it would take just as much gold to finish each LTQ as it does now - or probably more the way these things go.
Good idea, except when everybody has it they would just increase the amount of energy needed to complete each job. In the end, it would take just as much gold to finish each LTQ as it does now - or probably more the way these things go.That's why it's great to have all these different events which are constantly changing. Factions and individuals need to make decisions of whether to complete the goals and how to go about doing it. Some were complaining about not being able to achieve the 7 cash boosts with the recent faction boss event, but as you said if everyone gets the same boosts they will change the bar. I keep saying that I love how strategy is coming back into this game.
This has been brought up before. Same as a stamina regen.

New IMF tranche: What results are we expecting?
Author : Bohdan Danylyshyn
The prerequisite of the program of cooperation with the IMF was the implementation of structural and institutional reforms aimed at increasing the investment ability of Ukraine. At the same time, the limited and selective measures taken, military operations and other factors had a negative impact on Ukraine's investment attractiveness
New IMF program
112 Agency
Ukrainians hear reports on programs of cooperation with the IMF. They state that the fund can provide another loan. But what to rejoice? We asking again and again and they are giving something with the new conditions. The first tranche in the amount of $ 1.9 billion is forecasted. But already in the first quarter of 2020, the National Bank and the government paid the main sum - $ 545 million; as well as interest - $ 75 million. Payments by the end of 2020 - the main amount – will consist $ 545 million, anf interest will be $ 200 million.
One can rejoice when production begins, budget revenues increase, new hospitals, bridges, roads, factories are being build! And here they just give us a loan!
First of all, I note that I stand for the continuation of constructive cooperation with the IMF, taking into account the features and nature of the development of economic relations in Ukraine.
For the period 2014-2020. Ukraine was in three IMF programs (Standby (SBA) - in 2014-2015 and in 2018-2019 and Extended Financing (EFF) - in 2015-2018).
Under the relevant programs, the IMF loan funds amounted to 39%, including:
under the SBA program (2014-2015) - 27% (2 tranches out of 9 were received) - the program was completed ahead of schedule at the initiative of the Ukrainian side in connection with the transition to EFF;
under the EFF program (2015-2018) - 50% (4 tranches from 16 were received);
under the SBA program (2018-2019) - 36% (1 tranche of 3 was received).
In addition, the amount of commission paid by the National Bank in favor of the IMF for unused loans in terms of hryvnias at the exchange rate at the time of settlement:
Failure to agree on a new expanded financing program could lead to net payments from the National Bank to the IMF at the level of $ 3 billion in 2020-2021. This could deepen the country's financial deficit and economic crisis, despite the downward trend in foreign direct investment in Ukraine.
Since 2014 (as of the end of the 1st quarter of 2020), net income from IMF loans (including repayments under preliminary programs) amounted to $ 4.3 billion.
Related: Ukraine's balance of payments to be saved owing to IMF, - Zelensky
The volume of planned payments on IMF loans (repayment and servicing) in 2020 will amount to $ 1.4 billion, in 2021 - $ 1.6 billion.
The prerequisite of the program of cooperation with the IMF was the implementation of structural and institutional reforms aimed at increasing the investment ability of Ukraine. At the same time, the limited and selective measures taken, military operations and other factors had a negative impact on Ukraine's investment attractiveness.
The result of this was the preservation of low foreign direct investment inflows into the economy during 2015-2019, which for this period averaged $ 2.7 billion over the year - about 1.8% of GDP (excluding reinvested income - only 2, 5 billion dollars), which is more than twice less than the average for 2008-2013 (6.4 billion dollars), and have a tendency to further decline.
Let's talk on payments to the IMF. In the first quarter of 2020, the National Bank and the government paid the principal amount - $ 545 million; interest - $ 75 million. Payments by the end of 2020 - the main amount - $ 545 million, interest - $ 200 million; in 2021 - the main amount - $ 1,340 million; interest - 220 million dollars.
That is, in the first quarter of 2020, payments to the IMF exceeded foreign direct investment in the economy.

THQ Nordic's Steam sale makes pun-laden remasters extra cheap

Darksiders Warmastered Edition out now, free for owners of the original

It's the remastered edition of the original Darksiders, that brawly third-person action game about apocalyptic horse-fancier War, so I can see their thinking. But... no.

Earthquakes today: MULTIPLE quakes hit Alaska - tremors RADIATE from Anchorage
ALASKA is once again on the receiving end of a series of earthquakes, which struck the country's southern end near anchorage. Further tremors and aftershocks have been felt on the other side of the country.
By Liam Doyle Liam Doyle
PUBLISHED: 20:13, Fri, Dec 7, 2018 | UPDATED: 20:47, Fri, Dec 7, 2018
Earthquakes rocked the far-flung US State of Alaska today, which has recently been at the mercy of a massive 7.0 magnitude event. The region is constantly under the influence of earthquakes, ranging from mild to severe, traditionally around magnitude 4.0. As such, the state is used to the activity, but has come under severe damage in the past from the tremors and associated tsunamis. Today, a medium range earthquake and collection of smaller tremors rocked the city of Anchorage, the main area affected by the 7.0 magnitude earthquake last week.
Alaska earthquake: Alaska hit by 18 earthquakes after huge 7.0 quake
Earthquake WARNING: Ground SPLITTING earthquake predicted
According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), a total of 28 earthquakes were monitored in and around Anchorage.
Of the earthquakes, the highest came in at magnitude 4.8, not huge but still powerful enough to cause some shock to the immediate area.
The main tremors took place at 9.45pm on December 6, and a collection of smaller shocks are still going today.
The rest of the earthquakes all came in at around 2.5 to 3.2 magnitude, radiating out from the centre at Anchorage.
USGS has advised the area is generally resistant the the effects of the lower magnitude earthquake, so there is little damage as a result.

However, the geological agency did warn of the possibility of secondary effects from the earthquakes such as landslides and liquefaction, although this has not been observed yet.
They said: "Overall, the population in this region resides in structures that are resistant to earthquake shaking, though vulnerable structures exist.
"The predominant vulnerable building types are unreinforced brick masonry and reinforced masonry construction."
"Recent earthquakes in this area have caused secondary hazards such as landslides and liquefaction that might have contributed to losses."
"There is a low likelihood of casualties and damage."

Overall estimated costs of £784,000 ($1 million) are expected in the region, and there have been no reported deaths.
Are earthquakes getting worse every year?
Despite recent reports of dangerous earthquakes in many parts of the World, activity this year has actually been lower than normal.

The highest number of earthquakes in the last decade took place in 2011, when 15,798 rocked the planet.

Poker? I Hardly Know Her?
Last night as poker at Tall Brad's place. I came in sixth out of um, sixteen? I lost on an A-4 that drew into a A-4-9 to an A-9. I could have gone in less than all-in, but I had reasons to force it, and I wasn't looking to ride into a position. I can't imagine it will cost me a seat at the final table. I followed up with a K-Q on the next hand and lost to Q-Q. Neither of those was nearly as annoying as losing three A-10 hands in a row near the beginning and only pulling down a big pot because someone let me ride a 5-2 on the big blind to a full house.
But none of that matters. There are two things that matter. One. Brad has a spoon rest that's really starting to bother me. It holds two spoons. So it's this silver thing with two round, intersecting depressions on one end, and then between the intersection of the circles, a squarish piece to counteract the weight of the spoons. There's no way to avoid the fact that it looks like a severely attenuated phallus, at least proportionate to its size. I think it's a secret sign to swingers that might be passing through. Or more accurately, I'm afraid that's what it is - and a lot of Tall Brad's friends work with me, which is a bad intersection.
Two, Tall Brad sent an email this morning, "Someone left a pair of black LL Bean shoes. Looks to be about size 10-12. Let me know if they belong to you." Brad...maybe that person never left after poker. Maybe they figured out the secret swinger spoon rest like I did, and they're hiding in your closet hoping to watch....blogging from their blackberry.

Book review: A Life Between Us
Survivor's guilt, revenge, memory tricks, childhood friendship and rivalry are at the centre of this family drama. In A Life Between Us by Louise Walters, forty-something Tina visits the grave of twin sister Meg each week and holds conversations with her. Tina has buried a secret so deep even her husband doesn't know it. Only one other person was there when Meg died, the twins' Aunt Lucia. But this is a complicated family with so many stories of betrayal, flight, lies, secrets and denials that until the end I was waiting for someone else to appear as a witness.
The first half was a slow-burn and I longed to get to the first turning point of the story, which when it came was not a surprise. This slow-burn means this is not a psychological thriller but a study of the long-term effects on children violently bereaved, survivor guilt, misplaced memory and grief. We are told the story via multiple viewpoints: Tina, then and now; Tina's childhood letters; Tina's husband Keaton who loves his wife but struggles to cope with her depression and guilt; and Aunt Lucia, then and now. For me, this was too many viewpoints and too many characters, making it rather involved and at times repetitive. Walters' story involves a large family and perhaps the story would be stronger with less siblings. Certainly the absent Robert and jailbird Ambrose added little to Tina's story, and her parents are virtually invisible. The device of Tina's childhood letters to cousin Elizabeth in California became repetitive and irritating, it is so difficult to write in the voice of a child. I also found myself sympathising with Aunt Lucia who is portrayed as something of a harridan in a dysfunctional family, though she too has experienced difficult times which she has kept secret.
An at times long-winded story which, at its heart, explores something deep, difficult and sensitive.

Fight Club Author Chuck Palahniuk Crowdfunding Lullaby
by Paula Bernstein
in Filmmaking, Financing
Chuck Palanhiuk, Crowdfunding, Kickstarter, Lullaby
Though he wrote the novel on which David Fincher's 1999 hit Fight Club was adapted, novelist Chuck Palahniuk has never written a screenplay. That will change with the upcoming film adaptation of the author's 2002 novel Lullaby. Palahniuk will executive produce and co-write the screenplay with director Andy Mingo. Along with producer Josh Leake, the team has turned to Kickstarter to raise $250,000 to fund production of the film.
Lullaby follows the life of Carl Streator, an over-the-hill reporter whose family mysteriously died years earlier. Palahniuk wrote the novel during the murder trial of the man eventually convicted of murdering his father.
"Chuck doesn't write for mainstream audiences. His books challenge everything about mainstream audiences. His novel Lullaby deploys necrophilia, gender-bending, and no-way-would-this-make-it-to-comfortable-TV satire. We want to make a movie that makes people feel uncomfortable enough to think original thoughts again, just like Chuck's novels do. To do that we need your help through Kickstarter," reads the description on the project's campaign page.
Campaign perks include the usual rewards such as a digital download of the film, an invitation to private screenings, and a set visit. For $5,000, a Kickstarter backer can be a featured extra in the film and for $15,000, you can advertise your business in the film.

Is Colombia's Santos already running for re-election?
Jack Kimball
BOGOTA (Reuters) - With one hand on the wheel of a 1940s jeep, Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos edges through the crowd in a coffee-farming town, handing out subsidies and promises of a brighter future.
Colombia's President Juan Manuel Santos speaks to the media during a news conference at the summit of the Community of Latin American, Caribbean States and European Union (CELAC-UE) in Santiago, January 26, 2013. REUTERS/Jorge Sanchez
At any other time, it would not have been newsworthy, except that it comes just months before he must declare whether he will stand in elections next year.
While Santos said he will not discuss the topic until the second half of 2013, the tone of his appearances in the last few weeks smacks of a man in search of a second four-year term and his remarks sound a lot like campaign speeches.
The 61-year-old must declare his candidacy six months before a May 2014 election, so around November, but weak poll numbers mean he probably needs to start gaining momentum now.
"There is no doubt Santos is looking for re-election," said Oscar Ivan Zuluaga, a former finance minister and likely challenger next year.
"He has not said it publicly, but it is a fact due to the way he's communicating, the government events and how he is governing with one objective: try to get re-elected."
Santos won the last vote in 2010 by a landslide thanks in part to the support of his ex-boss, former President Alvaro Uribe, who is now the de-facto head of the opposition.
While Santos came to power promising to maintain Uribe's tough stance against rebels, he left open the chance for peace - a move that would later coalesce into talks with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, known as the FARC.
'THE CLOCK IS TICKING'
The biggest unknown and risk for Santos are these on-going negotiations with the country's largest rebel group, which Santos wants completed this year.
If talks succeed and Colombia goes from war to peace - big "ifs" after five decades of war - Santos's re-election would be all but clinched, making him the third two-term leader after Uribe and independence hero Simon Bolivar.
Given the government's desired timeline for talks with the FARC, some analysts argue that even if discussions fail, Santos would have enough time to recover before the election.
His revamped defence strategy that makes the destruction of strategic rebel military and financial units as much a goal as the killing of their leaders has already begun to bear fruit.
A peace agreement could let the FARC participate in the election too, for the first time in its history.
"For both Santos and the FARC, the clock is ticking," said Christian Voelkel, the Colombia analyst for the International Crisis Group think tank.
"Santos needs to show at least substantial results by November, if he wants to have a go at re-election," he said.
"The FARC, or their political expression, want to participate in the 2014 elections, which will only be possible if there is a deal sometime in the second half of this year. And both want to impede bolstering the Uribistas."
OPPOSITION TAKES AIM ON SECURITY, ECONOMY
At Pradera town in southwestern Valle del Cauca province, which will be important in the election given its population, Santos was giving away 91 houses this week from around 100,000 that he will dole out to poor families over the next year.
And not only homes.
The former finance minister said he would build a school nearby and he gave each family about $150 to hook up their houses to the Internet.
At one point, Santos was one of the most popular presidents in Colombia's history. But in the last year his ratings have fallen because of a perceived reversal in the security gains and as the economy began to stall.
Opponents will try to capitalize on whatever comes out of the peace process, the slowing economy, social problems such as poverty, and a ruling by a Hague-based U.N. court that removed resource-rich fishing areas from Colombian waters.
The main challenger next year will likely be an ally of Uribe, who is still popular for his blows against leftist rebel groups that made the Andean nation much safer. He is increasingly critical of his former defence minister, Santos.
The fallout began almost immediately after Santos took power in August 2010 when he re-established ties with Uribe's long-term nemesis, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, and their relations have only worsened from there.
Uribe's ex-finance minister, Zuluaga, already announced his intention to run and will make up part of the "Uribista" list.
But Uribe's support does not guarantee a win - in local elections in 2011, his preferred candidates for mayors of Bogota and Medellin lost.
A split between conservative supporters over whether to support Uribe's choice, or Santos, could open space for a third candidate to make headway.

I sit outside, in a brief interlude of warmth and peace, gazing up at the winter trees. An idea begins to form…those lines, those lovely lines…they make shapes, hold spaces where shape resides.
The idea I have doesn't take shape fully yet. I'm searching, thinking about these spaces and the shapes that inhabit them. I can't sleep 'cause the formless shape won't let go. I rise early to search it out on paper. I draw.
The shapes that come out are round inside those lined spaces. I didn't know 'til now. All these circles, these doodles in the tree, the tree that sits IN the path, with a couple others off the path. Why am I drawing this? I still can't make it out.
I'm nearing the end of my search, my doodling, and one circle, which has lifted off the tree develops a tail and becomes a balloon. A balloon! Oh! How fun! But I still don't know it's significance, or why, or what for.
I paint. White opaque gouache mixing with the watercolor, some light tones, some vibrant. Enjoying the process of searching. I "finish" the doodled page wondering what it is, why I had to get this thing out of my head. Would this just be a searching page with no answer? That's ok.
I go to rinse the chalky water out of my bucket, I clean dishes leftover from the night before. I wonder, a bit frustrated with myself (once again), why I do so many different types of creative stuff, even different types of drawings and paintings? Why can't I stick with just one thing? Just splashy watercolor? Or just pastel? Just portraits? Or just knitting? JUST ONE THING?
And it hits me full force, hands in the sudsy dishwater. It's my tree. My creative tree. Full of bright colored balloons sitting there waiting for the right breeze to come along and nudge them free. No two balloons exactly alike. Some have shades that are similar, but each one waits to be loosened from the lines. To rise gently and softly, without fanfare, off into the great beyond.
I'm no longer frustrated with myself. I get it now. It's all ok, these differing ways of creating. It's because of my Tree, and I like that tree. And there are many balloons yet to be released. And I can't wait to see what each of them is going to be.
Unbelievably you addressed the same problem I was kicking myself over last night. I get so caught up and enthusiastic about what seems like too many things. Should I cut back or just enjoy the ride and I see you are all for enjoying the ride!
So yes I too seem to have a Balloon Tree… drawing, painting, ukulele, origami, knitting both hand and machine. Some of these are current some I have put away probably for good. I get caught up in these creative activities but I guess that is ME, my LIFE, and the way I love to live it.
Diane, I share all of these same creative loves, except the machine knitting (though I'm sure if I got my hands on a machine I'd be hooked). And add to that list crochet, designing knit and crochet stuff. Whenever I have thought I put something away for good, it eventually calls to me (the "Call of the Bins" post) and out it comes again. Glad this was helpful. It felt like a bit of divine encouragement to me. Thanks for taking the time to comment here!
You both hit the nail on the head for my frustration in the creative element of my life. Guess i should just relax and enjoy the ride as well. Thanks for the expressing this "problem" so well. Now to get back to my prayer flags…must make one to represent "focus"!
Thanks for visiting and commenting Nora! I wonder if maybe we should think of it as "focusing" on the particular balloon that has just been nudged free, until the next balloon sets sail and we can then "focus" on it. The problem does aris when I feel like too many balloons get loose all at once!!! AAAACCCKKK! What's a girl to do, but to go along for the ride, as you say!
Made my day! A balloon day!
I read today that artists don't need discipline we just need enthusiasm. Yup, got that!
I love that image of all the various ideas and mediums being balloons in the same tree.
That's a wonderful thought and artwork, Jennifer.
love the colors and what a fun idea!
I couldn't believe my eyes when I read this post, it's exactly what has been worrying me! You've actually given me a feeling of relief; if someone as talented as you can do many different creative things, then I think I can too! Thank you!
But yesterday's revelation through this drawing was also "I can't believe my eyes" kind of thing! As if I was being encouraged and spoken to through the drawing! I am very glad it is helpful to you and others! Have a great day!
Seems that you are juggling balloons. Quite a feat!
Tee Hee! I like that Sandra! I think you do too with your paintings, zentangles, quilting, etc. From one balloon juggler to another: thank you so very much for visiting!


"If the camera was moved between filming these two frames, the sign could shift left and right, or up and down, compared to the background. In other words, the orange lines could shift sideways compared to the blue lines. But the angles cannot change, like they do here. It violates the laws of physics. It is a forgery."
"But there are two things that don't match up properly.
One is the road sign, which comes out blurry. This is because it was pasted into the film incorrectly, as described on the last page.
If you look at the white wall and the bushes in the background, you can see that the two panoramic views line up exactly. But the lamppost changes its angle.
The Zapruder film shows the lamppost leaning slightly to the right. Even though it is only a small lean, it is something that could not happen if the film was genuine.
'Moving the camera around' obviously changes the objects in the image, and in particular which objects are obscured by others. Shifting the camera left-right or up-down (or any combination of the two) by small amounts shifts image objects, depending on their distance from the camera. This is called 'parallax' and Lamson can read about it in optics or graphics text.
A simplified argument to understand what is going on here is to realize that if you hold a camera perfectly horizontal, then a vertical pole will be vertical in the image no matter where you put the camera. The mathematical subtlety comes in catering for the fact that a camera need not be held horizontal, either left-right or up-down.
This is where the transformations referred to bring everything to a common basis, where the optical axis is horizontal and the image orientation is horizontal, by calibrating against the background objects in Dealey Plaza (which, being distant, are affected negligibly by the small movement of the camera location).
I have not received any requests from Lamson for clarification of this point, probably because he has been blocked from my email for years due to harassment. I am sorry that he has remained confused and confounded on this issue for so long. I hope he can do the homework necessary to enlighten himself. I have wasted many hours on his harebrained requests in years past, and am not inclined to throw away more time on him. If anyone wishes to believe his rantings, then by all means let them. It's a free country.
So if we summarize Costella's statements they are quite clear.
vertical in the image no matter where you put the camera"
There is no ambiguity in Costella's statements. And after all he has a PhD in Physics, so he speaks from a position of authority.
But a question remains, is he correct?
When confronted that his statement cannot be true in the real world and asked to provide empirical proof of concept, Costella runs away. That in itself is not unusual for Costella and it's not the first time he has failed to do some simple photographic tests to see if his opinions play out in the real world. But real world empirical testing is part of science. One must question why Costella does his best to stay away from it. I can only surmise it to be fear of admitting failure.
To find out if Costella is correct I decided to do some empirical testing.
Can the angle of vertical pole change if we move the camera?
First we have to ask, what is a vertical pole? If we answer that it is a pole that is perfectly vertical and truly plumb then Costella is correct, that pole will not change angles as the camera is held perfectly horizontal no matter where you put the camera. So far so good for the Doctor.
But what happens if the pole is not vertical and perfectly plumb? Does his theory still hold?
The answer is a resounding no! Let's consider that leaning pole. In real life a leaning pole an appears exactly vertical when viewed for two points, one where the pole is leaning directly towards you and one when it leans directly away from you. Viewed from any other position the pole will be at varying angles from vertical depending on your viewing position. This is quite easy to test in real life by simply walking around a leaning pole and viewing the changes in angle.
All of this begs the question, were the poles Costella uses in his study of the Zapruder film vertical in all axis or were they leaning? The photographic evidence says they were leaning. But does all of this translate to actual photographs. Again contrary to Costella's claim, yes it does!
To illustrate the fact that the angle of a vertical pole can change when the camera is moved I created a simple test. I used a Canon 1DsMKIII camera, a tripod, a Bogen 303Plus Pano head, a 90mm Canon Ts-e lens, an Exacto knife in a cup and window molding as a background.
For this test I placed the cup with the Exacto knife about an equal distance from the camera and the window in the background. The camera was leveled. The Exacto knife was placed in the cup in such a manner that the top of the handle was angled towards the camera and so it appeared vertical in the camera.
The 90mm Ts-e lens ( http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=156&modelid=7329#ModelDetailAct ) was chosen for two reasons, it allow for shifting the lens side to side by 10mm in each direction and it is highly corrected for distortion so no transforming of barrel or pincushion is needed, The actual camera never moved during the test. Only the lens was moved a total of 20mm from side to side.
I took three photos of the Exacto knife in the cup, one with the lens centered, one with it shifted 10mm to the right and one with the lens shifted 10mm to the left.
Careful examination shows that the Exacto knife changes angles as the lens is shifted right and left. Costella says this is impossible and against the laws of physics. Sadly, for him, empirical testing shows he is wrong.
I have created this animation using the right shift photo and the left shift photo to show graphically the changes of angles between the two images.
Clearly John Costella is wrong. The very bedrock of his claims has been shown to be false. The empirical proof is unimpeachable. It is the process called parallax and Costella can read about it in optics or graphics text. I've wasted far too much time dealing with Costella's harebrained ideas and finally this sorry chapter of Costella's mistake is to rest. However if someone insists on believing his rantings, be my guest, after all it's a free country.
By the way, you don't have to take my word on this, like Costella expects you to do with his claims. That's the wonder of empirical testing, it can be repeated. I urge you to do your own tests and reach your own conclusions.
