Saving Gen Z, the Lonely Generation
Thoughts on my WSJ Weekend Interview with Jean Twenge
21 Comment2 Share
Perhaps no one knows more about Generation Z – born between 1995 and 2012 – than academic psychologist Jean Twenge. In March, I spent three hours with her in her backyard in San Diego, discussing this uniquely fearful generation. I've reproduced my Weekend Interview, which appeared in this weekend's Wall Street Journal, below.
As you'll see below, Professor Twenge has found that this generation is more physically safe and far more pessimistic than previous generations—more leery of romantic entanglement, less likely to hang out with friends, date, and have sex than previous generations. A few things struck me, which I couldn't include in the Weekend Interview because they were my opinions, not Professor Twenge's.
First, it's hard not to notice that this pessimistic generation, America's least religious, believes in the highest numbers both that Climate Change is causing an impending crisis for humanity and that systemic racial injustice has poisoned the well waters of America. Is it any surprise that a generation raised on the secular analogs to Apocalypse and Original Sin, but no offsetting promises of grace or salvation, would incline toward gloom?
Second, Professor Twenge believes that this generation is, as she wrote in her wonderful and important work, iGen, "growing up more slowly." There is no doubt that this generation is attaining the markers of adulthood later—learning to drive, dating and having sex, obtaining a job, starting a family.
But I am agnostic about whether what we are witnessing is a generation simply hitting these milestones later, or something more permanent. To put the problem in economic terms, are we seeing recession or secular decline? Is the drop in rates of sex merely a "sex recession," as the Atlantic's Kate Julian has called it, or is it closer to our use of Kodak film—on the way out, with no hope of rebound? It's at least possible the latter is closer to what we're seeing.
The single most worrisome aspect of this generation to me is its atomism, its inclination to regard other people not as potential partners or romantic interests, but part of a general messiness they'd do best to avoid. (In my interview, Professor Twenge refers to this as young adults' reluctancy to embark on romantic relationships for fear of "catching feelings.")
It's worth examining this for another moment, not in order to harp on the bad, but in the interest of understanding the scope of the problem, so that we might begin to confront it. From so many angles—their fear of being embarrassed by others' online, their fear of missing out, their disinclination to join a religious community, to date, to have sex, to get married—we are seeing signs of teens and young adults so atomized, so lonely, that they are in danger of losing out on the best part of the human experience.
As the great American poet, Edgar Lee Masters once wrote, in "George Gray," in 1916 — as another "Lost Generation" came of age:
I have studied many times
The marble which was chiseled for me--
A boat with a furled sail at rest in a harbor.
In truth it pictures not my destination
But my life.
For love was offered me and I shrank from its disillusionment;
Sorrow knocked at my door, but I was afraid;
Ambition called to me, but I dreaded the chances.
Yet all the while I hungered for meaning in my life.
And now I know that we must lift the sail
And catch the winds of destiny
Wherever they drive the boat.
To put meaning in one's life may end in madness,
But life without meaning is the torture
Of restlessness and vague desire--
It is a boat longing for the sea and yet afraid.
We, the Gen X parents of Gen Z, can help our children avoid a life of "restlessness and vague desire," by quitting our habit of buffering them from every pain. Anguish is unavoidable. Anyone with a conscience is doomed to spend some dark nights writhing in regret.
And yet, the people we love and hurt and are hurt by—they save us.
The thought that this generation would spend years alone, in a room with a phone, social media as their (false and manipulative) view of the outside, Universal Basic Income guaranteeing an endless supply of delivered "stuff," leaching out what remains of their purpose—that's really too sad to contemplate. We can't let it happen. As a PR firm might put it: Less streaming and more dreaming!
Enough with the doom—they're engorged with it. What these kids badly need, what they deserve, are friendship, love, hope.
Thanks, as always, for your amazing support; I hope you enjoy my conversation with Professor Jean Twenge.
To Be Young and Pessimistic in America
Generation Z is lonelier than millennials and more reluctant to embrace the responsibilities and joys
of adulthood. Life online seems to be a reason.
May 14, 2021 3:11 pm ET
ILLUSTRATION: KEN FALLIN
Moral panic about the young is at least as old as the trial of Socrates, so let's resist catastrophic thinking about Generation Z and begin with good news: The generation born between 1995 and 2012 is far more risk-averse and more physically safe than its elders. It is more tolerant of other races and sexual orientations. Most surprising, in the early months of the pandemic lockdowns that often took a toll in mental health, this generation managed to show an improvement.
In a survey of eighth-, 10th- and 12th-graders conducted in May through July 2020 by the Institute for Family Studies and the Wheatley Institution, only 17% reported feeling depressed while school was in session and 20% while it was out for the summer, compared with 27% in a similar survey during the school year in 2018. Loneliness declined to 22% with school in session and 27% in the summer from 29% in 2018. Unhappiness and dissatisfaction with life rose, but not as sharply.
Why? "Two reasons," says the study's lead author, Jean Twenge —an academic psychologist who specializes in "iGen," a term she coined for the first generation to grow up amid ubiquitous iPhones. First, without commuting and with few extracurricular activities, they slept more: "Sleep is crucial for mental health." Second, spending more time with their families was good for them. Forced to stay home, quarantined around the dining-room table with parents and siblings, their time online held steady, and the added in-person time conferred significant mental-health benefits.
Yet this improvement proceeds from a low base; Generation Z exhibits higher rates of suicide and depression since studies began in 1950 and far higher rates of general pessimism than any generation dating to 1960. According to Ms. Twenge's research, between 2005 and 2017 rates of major depression increased 52% in adolescents (12 to 17), and 63% in young adults (18 to 25).
The sharpest increases in suicide rates and major depression were for teen girls: in 2015, three times as many 10- to 14-year-old girls were admitted to the emergency room for self-harm as in 2010. According to the Centers for Disease Control, the suicide rate for girls 15 to 19 doubled between 2007 and 2015, although it's still far higher for boys. By 2017, 1 out of 5 teenage girls had experienced a major depressive episode in the previous year, according to Ms. Twenge's analysis of the National Study of Drug Use and Health.
More likely than previous generations "to see the world as an unfair place," Gen Z represents a significant departure from millennials (born between 1980 and 1994) whom Ms. Twenge describes as "very optimistic" and "self-confident." Whereas millennials "have high expectations," Generation Z is "just a much more pessimistic generation. And that was true before the pandemic."
What are they pessimistic about? "Everything," she says. "At their own prospects, prospects of the world. And you have to ask, what causes what? Is it because the world is so bad, that's why they're depressed? Or do they see the world as bad because they're depressed?"
For nearly three hours one Thursday in March, Ms. Twenge, 49, and I perched on damp plastic chairs in her lush backyard near San Diego State University, where she is a psychology professor. Cautious about the coronavirus, she agreed to remove her mask for the sake of my recording on the condition that we sit 10 feet apart and I remain masked. Drawing on her book iGen: Why Today's Super-Connected Kids are Growing Up Less Rebellious, More Tolerant, Less Happy and Completely Unprepared for Adulthood (2017), she describes a generation in pain and peril and says the troubling trends are consistent across racial and class lines.
One reason for the dramatic drop in hopefulness between millennials and Generation Z may be the different generations that reared them: "Boomer parents brought up millennials telling them, 'You can be whatever you want to be, you're special,' and they believed it. And so, that had some benefits."
Generation Z received "you're special" messages from their Generation X parents, too. Indeed, more than any prior generation of American parents, Generation X set out deliberately to raise happy kids. But there was also "a shift in parenting from encouragement to fear." As parents' anxiety about the world rose, they seem to have passed the feeling down.
Ms. Twenge says what drove the parents' anxiety is a bit of a mystery. For most of the past 25 years, violent crime rates fell and kids lived physically safer lives than ever. But fearfulness increased. She says the best explanation is economic: "I think there's an interaction between income inequality and parents' anxieties that get passed on to their children as well. So there's the idea of you either make it or you don't, so you better make it." Other generations have struggled to make sense of a world turned upside-down: the world wars, the Great Depression and, in the case of millennials, a meltdown of the financial system. None manifested Gen Z's levels of pessimism.
Ms. Twenge is also convinced, and several studies confirm, that time online, especially on social media, and the closely related decline of in-person socializing account for today's teens' high rates of anxiety, depression and self-harm. She has called Generation Z "the loneliest generation on record."
Online social life may not bring the physical perils of drunk driving or date rape, but it seems to do real psychological harm to young people. "They're in this world where you have to be on social media, yet being on social media can be really negative," Ms. Twenge says. In an instant, they can be permanently banned or humiliated or exposed in front of thousands, even millions, of strangers. "I think this idea that everything can potentially be public has had an enormous effect," she says. Young people "are very, very cautious. I think it's also one of the reasons why they're more mentally vulnerable—it's because they feel like they're walking on eggshells all the time."
She urges me to imagine life as a teenager today: "Try to put yourself in the shoes of someone who can't remember a time before the smartphone, can't remember a time before social media. Can't remember a time when it was perfectly normal for 16- or 17-year-old kids to go drive around by themselves and hang out and have fun. It makes sense that they might not be particularly happy."
Members of Generation Z are far less likely to date, obtain a driver's license, hold down a job or hang out with friends in person than millennials were at the same age. High-school seniors in 2015 "were going out less often than eighth graders did as recently as 2009," Ms. Twenge has written; and 2016's seniors spent an hour a day less on in-person social interaction than those of the 1980s.
Ms. Twenge interprets this, along with Generation Z's lower rates of sexual experimentation and alcohol use, as a reluctance to embrace adult privileges and responsibilities. That includes love. Long warned by parents and teachers about the risks of sexual assault and disease, they are also leery of any distraction that might throw them off a professional course—and even of "catching feelings," their term for becoming emotionally entangled. "Obviously, some of them are going to get married," Ms. Twenge says. "But the emphasis placed on getting married and having children has definitely decreased."
And while teens' avoidance of sex and booze may comfort their parents, their prolonged immaturity reflects a disbelief in their own power to improve their circumstances. Today's young people are more likely to attribute hardship to bad luck or other factors beyond their control.
People who feel powerless might be more inclined to support social and political upheaval, and today's youths are more politically radical than past generations, including baby boomers. In 1970, according to the American Freshman study, 2.9% of entering college students identified as far left; in 2019, 5.5% did—an all-time high. Ms. Twenge adds that "the extremes at both ends of the political spectrum have increased. So you get more polarization." The share of college freshmen identifying as far-right in 1970 was 0.8%. It peaked in 2004, when millennials were matriculating, at 2.2%, and has since fallen to 1.6%.
Ms. Twenge has examined this generation's mental health from many angles. Not all screen time is equally bad: it varies based on a few factors, including whether communication is in real time (better) and permanently recorded (worse).
Video-chat apps like Zoom and even videogames don't have the positive impact of in-person activities, but they aren't terrible. Social media and general internet use are the worst forms of screen time, especially for teen girls. The former encourages a punishing social competition with peers. The latter leads young people down rabbit holes, including virtual places that celebrate anorexia and other modes of self-harm.
"Because of the way girls' social relationships work," Ms Twenge says, "they need that one-on-one time with each other, or at least in smaller groups, because that's what builds trust. It's what builds emotional connection. And when that gets transferred onto social media, it becomes a competition instead. . . . Popularity, which is always fraught among teen girls, is now a number. And that can be very stressful."
Ms. Twenge advises parents to adopt two ironclad rules: No phones in the bedroom; their ruinous impact on sleep is marked and measurable. And keep kids off social media until at least 13. She's even stricter with her daughters, the eldest of whom is 14. They aren't on social media and have no smartphones.
Rule-following and risk-aversion have their rewards, and Ms. Twenge stresses that there are reasons to be optimistic about this generation: "I think there's a lot of iGeners who are going to end up being very successful, because they have that practical focus and that strong work ethic." But many may have a hard time adjusting to the workforce: "I think that transition is even more difficult if you haven't had as much experience with independence—and if you are among what I do think is the minority of iGen, who are eager to see offense everywhere."
The embrace of minorities has been accompanied by intolerance of diverse viewpoints. The percentage of college students who believe that controversial speakers shouldn't be brought to campus has risen. "It's not just a perception," Ms. Twenge says. "That's what they say themselves—that they are less comfortable with those situations."
That's in part because they have short attention spans. "Complex ideas require sustained attention," she says. "The idea that you're going to be patient and sit down to read a book for two hours and do nothing else is kind of mind-blowing to an iGener." The percentage of high-school students who read books or other long-form content every day has dropped from 60% to 15% since the 1980s.
Are all of these trigger warnings and safe spaces doing this generation a disservice? "I think so," Ms. Twenge says. "iGen is both perpetuating this fear and lack of open discussion and iGen is also a victim of this same atmosphere."
But maybe real adversity will help turn things around. "If you make the case that every generation needs some hardship to grow, the pandemic has been that hardship," Ms. Twenge says. "You could make the case that in the long run Gen Z might actually be better off having gone through the pandemic, because it's been a huge learning experience for everybody. We've probably all learned to be a little bit more resilient. And it's the same thing for kids, like maybe I can't see my friend, or maybe my basketball game got cancelled; at least it's not the whole season getting shut down. And it gives you some perspective—and some appreciation for when things are good."

That is like riding a bicycle … I had a lot but a lot of time without doing it, I was afraid like the first time, well I was always afraid to hit the parking cars when I made the turns, I think because I was afraid, I fell more than once… This part was not very nice, neither was the pain in my noble parts because of the seat, as my fantasy of using a large pink bicycle was not something planned, with the comfortable seat like a sofa and a basket full of flowers included, the vehicle used was a super speed bike and with the seat very hard and small, It was funny, of course, although I like to see professional drivers in the Giro d'Italia, I did not have the slightest idea that there are bicycles with speeds… I am very ignorant; I know In truth, and despite of all the fright, it was very pleasant to discover that if I could do it and I could feel that breeze of liberation in my face, it was insurmountable. I have to say that I succeeded thanks to the guy from Miami, that is my coach who encouraged me. I would like to repeat the experience with my coach but using a purple bicycle with a comfortable seat like a sofa and a basket full of flowers included.

Looking for some new ideas for sides for dinner? Here are a few recipes that my family likes.
Steam or stir fry the broccoli until crisp tender, about 4 to 5 minutes. Meanwhile, melt butter in a medium saucepan. Whisk in flour, mustard powder and salt to taste.
Gradually stir in milk, whisking over medium low heat until thickened. Add cheese, stirring until completely melted. Season to taste with white pepper.
Pour over steamed broccoli and serve at once.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta; cook until al dente, 8–10 minutes; reserve 1 cup pasta water and drain pasta.
Heat oil in a 12″ skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add pepper; cook until fragrant, 1–2 minutes. Ladle 3⁄4 cup pasta water into skillet; bring to a boil.
Using tongs, transfer pasta to skillet; spread it evenly.
Sprinkle the Pecorino Romano cheese over pasta; toss vigorously to combine until sauce is creamy and clings to the pasta without clumping, about 2 minutes, adding some pasta water if necessary.
Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
Bring the chicken broth to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the salt, pepper and green beans. Reduce the heat and simmer the beans until they are tender but very firm, 3-4 minutes. Drain.
Add the salad ingredients and any of the additional optional ingredients that you may wish to add. Toss well and chill before serving.
Rub the potatoes with 1 teaspoon of olive oil, place on a baking sheet and bake until they are tender when pierced with a knife, about one hour. Do not turn off the oven.
Toss the tomatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon of salt and a grinding of black pepper.
Cut the baked potatoes in half and remove most of the potato flesh from the shells. Mash the potato pulp and add the tomatoes, basil and ricotta. Mix well.
Add the mixture to the potato shells and return the stuffed potatoes to the oven and heat until the potato mixture is hot. Garnish with additional basil.
I think sides are just as important as the main dish! They should compliment and I would love to have your baked potato with our steak! And your cauliflower is mouth watering! Since we didn't get our veggie fix the last five days that's all I want. 🙂 Have a wonderful day!
Always looking for side dishes – these are super.
They all look terrific. I've never made broccoli with cheese sauce but have a feeling my son would be thrilled if I did.
All these sound so yummy and quick to make!
You never disappoint me doll thanks for great share just pinned can't wait to try the stuffed potato!

San Francisco, Calif. – November 14, 2018 – RichRelevance, the global leader in Experience Personalization, today announced key findings from its Digital Grocery Survey: 2018 Holiday Edition consumer survey. The study finds that more than 4 in 10 Americans (44%) plan to shop online for some or all of the groceries they need for their Thanksgiving or holiday meal this year. This is more than twice as many people who shopped online for Thanksgiving groceries in 2017.
The top Thanksgiving items that people plan to purchase online are bundled ingredients for side dishes (56%); canned items like cranberry sauce (51%); and beverages including alcohol (44%). Turkey (33%) and frozen/pre-made desserts (31%) are the least likely to be purchased online. When online orders are ready, more shoppers plan to pick up their groceries (47%) than have them delivered to their home (43%).
Americans overwhelmingly turn online for grocery shopping to save time (73%) – and 1 in 4 (26%) choose to shop online because it allows them to shop for groceries during work hours. The top factors keeping people from shopping online for groceries are a lack of trust that others will pick the best or freshest items (50%) followed by a reluctance to spend extra money (37%).
Across the board, respondents have strong opinion on which online tools would be most helpful as they plan and prepare a Thanksgiving or holiday meal. Half of Americans (50%) say that online personalized offers or discounts are helpful, followed by fast, accurate search results on a grocer's site (46%) and having a grocer present them with relevant alternatives when a desired item is not available (43%).
The survey of 1,565 U.S consumers was completed online in November 2018.

BARAḠĀNĪ, MOḤAMMAD-TAQĪ
BARAḠĀNĪ MOLLĀ MOḤAMMAD-TAQĪ, QAZVĪNĪ, ŠAHĪD-E ṮĀLEṮ, an important Shiʿite ʿālem of Qazvīn (d. 1263/1847). Baraḡānī was the first cleric to declare takfīr (ca. 1238/1822) against Shaikh Aḥmad Aḥsāʾī (q.v.), and subsequently became the leading opponent of Shaikhism in Iran. He studied in Iran and Iraq, and accompanied his teacher, Moḥammad-ʿAlī Ṭabāṭabāʾī, on the 1242/1826 jihad against Russia. After a disagreement in Tehran with Fatḥ-ʿAlī Shah, he returned to Qazvīn, where he acquired a reputation as one of the best preachers of his day. His best-known work is the Majāles al-mottaqīn on the sufferings of the imams. His brother, Moḥammad Ṣāleḥ, wrote numerous works on this theme. His niece, Fāṭema (Qorrat-al-ʿAyn), became famous as a Babi leader but Moḥammad-Taqī's own opposition to Shaikhism and Babism increased and led to his murder in the mosque he had built in Qazvīn (Jāmeʿ-e Ṣaḡīr) on 15 Ḏu'l-qaʿda 1263/25 October 1847, apparently the work of three Babis. The title šahīd-e ṯāleṯ (the third martyr) was subsequently conferred on him, and his tomb remains prominent in Qazvīn.

Michael Hoomanawanui splits three Patriots defenders for a touchdown.
While all of us are basking in our brand new professional football team, you have to wonder — what do the mighty Patriots think about being so thoroughly upstaged by the upstart Rams? Not that the game counted, of course, but Belichick had the riding crop out and was pushing his starters most of the night to show him something. This was going to be a 'teaching moment' for the Pats, with the Rams playing the unlikely role of the schoolyard bullies.
Quick thoughts: We know the Pats pass rush is lacking, but the secondary had more missteps than usual. 3rd down D was also fairly shaky, and the Pats were playing in a fairly vanilla zone for many pass plays… looked better when in man. That said, Bradford looked really good. Suspect a big key for him will be play action ability because of SJax threat.
But back to Pats D, I completely expect ups and downs. Mayo also isn't looking like his 2008 self. If our secondary plays to their potential they'll actually be our best defensive unit…playmakers, athletic, but still young. Also some goofy penalties, which I think was mostly just mental lapses, and I'm sure Coach Belichick laid into them pretty good.
Playing a soft zone in the redzone made the D look especially bad (ie Hoomanawanui TD where he sat between 3 zone defenders). Time of possession also factored in, I'm sure some players were tired since Pats O was getting off the field so quickly for one reason or another.
All in all, I'd say the defensive gameplan was fairly conservative. A lot of shorter routes were basically handed to Rams WRs. One area of concern was that some of the blitzes weren't up to par. Since our OLBs are weak, means Pats HAVE to have good blitzing.
"(I'm) disappointed in the whole game," Patriots coach Bill Belichick said Friday, "regardless of how the last kick turned out." His defense couldn't get off the field quickly, and his offense couldn't stay on it when it eventually had the ball.
The Rams had more than twice as many plays, 84-38, and held the ball for 43 minutes, 46 minutes. The Patriots' offense had it for just 16:14, barely more than one quarter. It was a preseason game, but Belichick knows it could be an indication of how the defense will play during the regular season.
Meanwhile, the Rams are gaining nothing but confidence from Thursday night's game.
Like the offense, the defense is stocked with plenty of young players still finding their way in the league but one only need to look at a youngster such as cornerback Bradley Fletcher going toe to toe with Randy Moss to see that the confidence is growing every day.

In this blog post, we will discuss about an additional source of revenue for web publishers. Yes, you have heard this right, we are talking about Consumer Surveys from Google which web publishers can integrate on their sites and earn incremental revenue with an RPM of $20-$30 depending on the site's traffic quality. This feature was only available for US, UK and few other publishers, however, it has rolled out globally, but you still need to have substantial traffic from tier one countries. Go through this to know more about consumer surveys and a step-by-step guide to setting up Consumer surveys on WordPress blogs.
Update: Google is currently accepting applications for consumer surveys if you're based in one of the eligible countries where the surveys can be run.
Google Consumer Surveys is a business product by Google that facilitates customized market research. The product was designed by Google as an alternative to internet pay walls for websites that publish content. The program was launched by several online publishers such as Pandora, AdWeek, and the New York Daily News. From a Publisher's point of you- Google Consumer Surveys lets you to make money from your site only when an user answers a question. You can make 5 cents every time a visitor answers a survey question. Google charges 10 cents per answer/response for a survey question. Thus it's a 50/50 revenue share. Google Consumers surveys typically work well if you've a very good quality content which users are interested to genuinely interested in and also if your website has a substantial traffic from the following countries:- United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Mexico, Japan, Australia, Brazil, Spain, France, and Germany. Since these are the only countries which are supported under the Google Consumer Surveys' Network.
Publishers control the user experience and select which content integrates with the Google Consumer Surveys prompt. By adding the code to your site, you are adding a survey paywall for visitors to view your content. For visitors to see your content, they must complete the survey or choose to skip.
If you have ads on your site, they will still appear as normal. The survey prompt appears in-line with your content, shading out a majority of the text until the user finishes the survey or decides to skip. After a user answers the question or completes an alternative action, the inline microsurvey will disappear and the grayed out premium content will become visible to the user for a publisher defined period (eg. 24 hours).
Thank you for signing up for the Google Consumer Surveys publisher network. You can access your settings and reporting dashboard from the link below. This is where you can modify your site's configuration, monitor your impressions, and track your earnings.
You may click on to the Visit Dashboard link and get started with the code implementation.
You may consider using the Ctrl+F function to search for it. Once you locate the body tag, place the code right below it. I would recommend you to take a backup of the original code in a notepad before you make any changes to the particular theme file (header.php in this case). Once you have inserted the code, go ahead to click on Update file button. As you can see below in this image, the survey code is put right below the body code in the header.php file.
Step 2: Once you've installed the initialization code, you need to wrap your content area with the second survey code. While this might be a bit tricky in first go, it is extremely single. All you need to do is head to Single Post i.e. single.php file on your Theme Editor. You Ctrl+F to find the text id="content-area" (this is the default id which defines the content-area section of your WordPress blog). Again, I would recommend you to take a backup of your file while making live edits on the theme editor.
You need to wrap your content area with a class named p402_premium and for this, you need to insert the first two lines above your content area code as shown in the image.
Step3: The next step is to add the remaining piece of code to wrap the content area. For this, you need to find where your content area ends.
You may refer to the comment <!–content-area–> or any similar mnemonics provided by your theme developer. Just add the remaining part of the code here (after the content) and you should be all done with the integration process.
Once the code integration is done, head to the Settings tab and make sure all the fields are updated. By default you don't have to make any changes.
It might take some time to receive the mail since it will come once the validation survey starts. The validation survey will run from a time period of 15-20 days and the data collected from the surveys during this process will determine if your site is eligible for paid surveys or not. As a rule of thumb, your survey completion rate should be above 10%.
Once the data collection process for the validation survey is through, you will receive a notification mail from Google about the same and the status of your acceptance/rejection.
Your publisher, "Beamingnotes," has passed our approval process and will now start receiving paid surveys. You can track your earnings by accessing your settings and reporting dashboard using the link below.
This complete;y depends on the inventory that Google can provide for your site, your site's audience type and the survey completion rate. Typically, you can make anywhere between $10-$40 or more depending upon the completion rate of your surveys. You will earn 5 cents for each complete survey response. I am sharing a screenshot of my earnings from Google Consumer Survey reports. You may consider clicking on the link below to have an enlarge view of this image.
As I have already started, not all websites will be a fix for Google Consumer Surveys. I don't think websites in movies, music, social news domains will be a good fit for consumer surveys. Any website which can engage the traffic and retain it's users is a good fit for this service. You may consider taking a look at your analytics traffic to see what percentage of your audience is from the countries which are eligible to show surveys.
Your publisher dashboard provides daily reporting on the number of surveys served on your site. Within your dashboard, you'll see columns for impressions, questions, answers, earned access, earned extended access, payment for extended access, other actions, unanswered, completion rate, RPM, and total payment due. Definitions for these metrics are provided below and also included in our glossary.
If you take a look at your Consumer surveys earning report, you will see, two tabs which talk about earnings. Payment for extended access is that section of the Total Payment Due which the publisher received when a user answered more than 3 questions. You net income for the day is reflected on Total Payment Due tab.
You can find finalized Google Consumer Surveys earnings within your AdSense account.
Finalized Google Consumer Surveys earnings for the previous month are added to your AdSense account balance between the 10th and 14th of the month and paid out that month if your total balance has reached the payment threshold. Payments will follow the same schedule as AdSense.
Select Payments on the left sidebar.
Look for "Earnings – Google Consumer Surveys" in each month to see your Google Consumer Surveys earnings for that month.
Is Google Consumer Survey a Good AdSense Alternative?
Google Consumer Surveys can be a great alternative to your regular AdSense revenue and in fact can sometimes outperform it. This is a great fit if you have engaging content which users love to read and have traffic from the countries which are eligible to receive surveys. According to Google, publishers can earn a RPM of $20 and above and as you can see from my screenshots, the average RPM is around $30.


I just came home from FEZEN, Székesfehérvár, Hungary a smaller originally rock festival.
From new songs only Need Some 1 and Resonate no other new song was played.
NS1 was fantastic live and I think the crowd liked the song too but it was short and as if Liam made some little mistake with the bridge.
Moderators please edit/embed the youtube videos the preferred way and correct my grammar in this post.
They are secretive about the upcoming release, I don't expect much stuff to be released ahead of the new album.
No Good was played ?

3 Teamwork Books To Make You A Better Communicator
Communication is an art form. In both your personal and professional life, it massively impacts your relationships as well as your success levels.
But while many of us consider ourselves to be adept in this area, it takes practice, consistent attention, and continual education to be effective and powerful in how we relate to one another and to use communication as a strategic advantage.
Here are three of the top teamwork books we recommend for a crash course in understanding and connecting with others—and more specifically with your team. Use them as tools to expand your mind and open yourself up to what it means to be a great communicator.
Rocket Fuel: The One Essential Combination That Will Get You More Of What You Want From Your Business
Gino Wickman & Mark C. Winters
Entrepreneurs are natural problem-solvers, visionaries, and inspirational leaders—essential qualities for any successful business owner. But communicating and implementing with your team requires an entirely different skillset.
Wickman and Winters refer to this key role in your organization as the Integrator.
Read this book for insight into how your business can reach new heights by nurturing the relationship between you—the Visionary—and the Integrator in your company. It's a valuable lesson into what effective communication looks like in a fast-moving and thriving organization.
For more, listen to this interview with Mark C. Winters.
"Rocket Fuel is a powerful model for freeing up entrepreneurial visionaries to do what they do best. Gino and Mark provide a practical game plan for building an organization that perfectly combines vision and integration."
Dan Sullivan, President and Founder of Strategic Coach®
Tribal Leadership: Leveraging Natural Groups To Build A Thriving Organization
Dave Logan, John King, & Halee Fischer-Wright
A truly enlightening book, Tribal Leadership speaks to the idea that we all exist in naturally occurring tribes and that our behaviors are in direct correlation to the tribes we inhabit. It's an interesting and confronting look into how people communicate and interact with one another even in the most successful of environments.
This book requires readers to look at how they relate to the world and to acknowledge the mindset that's required for impactful innovation. The authors ask you to strive for a "life is great" mentality—as this is the only way to make real and lasting change in the world.
For more on elevating your tribal culture, listen to this interview with Dave Logan.
"I've long been inspired by this book. What I love most is how it describes, so accurately, the shift from Rugged Individualism to Unique Teamwork. It's a must-read for those wanting to build a strong, powerful team focused on growth and teamwork."
Shannon Waller, Entrepreneurial Team Strategist at Strategic Coach®
Collaborative Way: A Story About Engaging the Mind and Spirit of a Company
Lloyd Fickett & Jason Fickett
The Collaborative Way is a model and a practice that promotes an honest and collaborative environment for working and communicating with one another.
Fickett explains that, "We all come into the workplace with different backgrounds and expectations about how we're supposed to work together. As a result, we're prone to ineffectiveness, misunderstanding, and upset."
The Collaborative Way invites readers to communicate through different means—whether it be through listening generously, speaking straight, or being for each other—in order to be in total alignment. It's a non-traditional approach to teamwork that honors people being able to openly communicate with one another in order to confidently work toward bigger goals.
For more on this book, listen to this interview with Lloyd Fickett and Krista Barbour, Collaborative Way specialists.
"The Collaborative Way calls you to be a better human being. You have to be your highest self, which is not a bad thing, but on certain days that can be more challenging than others. It's also what makes this practice so powerful."
"By understanding that every individual has certain needs, we can grasp how to be the most effective communicators."
By understanding that every individual has certain needs—that when met allow them to strive—we can grasp how to be the most effective communicators. Invest your time in growth-oriented activities by reading these teamwork books centered on personal communication skills, and watch as your relationships deepen and flourish.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) – It shouldn't come as a surprise that this spring's NBA draft will feature lots of good players from lots of good college teams.
But one and done is not a sure measure of college success. The top picks from the last three drafts – Deandre Ayton, Markelle Fultz and Ben Simmons – all left after one season, and didn't win a single game in the tournament. In fact, Ayton was the only one who even played.

Rodney Brooks Reviews 5-Year-Old Predictions, Makes New Ones on Crypto, Metaverse, Robots, AI
The Los Angeles Times explores an interesting exercise in prognisticating about the future. In 2018 robotics entrepreneur Rodney Brooks made a list of predictions about hot tech topics like robots, space travel, and AI, "and promised to review them every year until Jan. 1, 2050, when, if he's still alive, he will have just turned 95."
His goal was to "inject some reality into what I saw as irrational exuberance." Each prediction carried a time frame — something would either have occurred by a given date, or no earlier than a given date, or "not in my lifetime." Brooks published his fifth annual scorecard on New Year's Day. The majority of his predictions have been spot-on, though this time around he confessed to thinking that he, too, had allowed hype to make him too optimistic about some developments….
People have been "trained by Moore's Law" to expect technologies to continue improving at ever-faster rates, Brooks told me…. That tempts people, even experts, to underestimate how difficult it may be to reach a chosen goal, whether self-aware robots or living on Mars. "They don't understand how hard it might have been to get there," he told me, "so they assume that it will keep getting better and better…."
This year, 14 of his original predictions are deemed accurate, whether because they happened within the time frame he projected or failed to happen before the deadline he set. Among them are driverless package delivery services in a major U.S. city, which he predicted wouldn't happen before 2023; it hasn't happened yet. On space travel and space tourism, he predicted a suborbital launch of humans by a private company would happen by 2018; Virgin Atlantic beat the deadline with such a flight on Dec. 13, 2018. He conjectured that space flights with a few handfuls of paying customers wouldn't happen before 2020; regular flights at a rate of more than once a week not before 2022 (though perhaps by 2026); and the transport of two paying customers around the moon no earlier than 2020.
All those deadlines have passed, making the predictions accurate. Only three flights with paying customers happened in 2022, showing there's "a long way to go to get to sub-weekly flights," Brooks observes.
"My current belief is that things will go, overall, even slower than I thought five years ago," Brooks writes. "That is not to say that there has not been great progress in all three fields, but it has not been as overwhelmingly inevitable as the tech zeitgeist thought on January 1st, 2018." (For example, Brooks writes that self-driving taxis are "decades away from profitability".)
And this year he's also graced us with new predictions responding to current hype:
"The metaverse ain't going anywhere, despite the tens of billions of dollars poured in. If anything like the metaverse succeeds it will from a new small player, a small team, that is not yoked down by an existing behemoth."
" Crypto, as in all the currencies out there now, are going to fade away and lose their remaining value. Crypto may rise again but it needs a new set of algorithms and capability for scaling. The most likely path is that existing national currencies will morph into crypto currency as contactless payment become common in more and more countries. It may lead to one of the existing national currencies becoming much more accessible world wide.
"No car company is going to produce a humanoid robot that will change manufacturing at all. Dexterity is a long way off, and innovations in manufacturing will take very different functional and process forms, perhaps hardly seeming at all like a robot from popular imagination."
" Large language models may find a niche, but they are not the foundation for generally intelligent systems. Their novelty will wear off as people try to build real scalable systems with them and find it very difficult to deliver on the hype."
"There will be human drivers on our roads for decades to come."
And Brooks had this to say about ChatGPT. "People are making the same mistake that they have made again and again and again, completely misjudging some new AI demo as the sign that everything in the world has changed. It hasn't."

Beto O'Rourke up to the stage -- and vowed to put O'Rourke, who has said the government should forcibly seize assault rifles from Americans, in charge of gun-control efforts.
"Also at the rally, Biden accepted the endorsements of onetime rivals Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar, as the Democratic party's moderate wing rallied behind Biden to challenge anti-establishment front runner and self-described democratic socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders."
In October, when O'Rourke was still in the presidential race, NPR reported, "Beto O'Rourke wants to ban and buy back assault-style weapons. Exactly how he would persuade others to get on board is unclear, and two undecided Texas voters recently pressed him on how he would build consensus for his plan and whether it would hold up in conservative courts."
I like how NPR immediately brought in conservative courts -- not the Second Amendment -- as the problem.
The story also said, "'Hell, yes, we're going to take your AR-15, your AK-47,' O'Rourke said to huge cheers."
NPR said it was unclear how O'Rourke would build a consensus to confiscate guns. 5 months later, the consensus is built. Democrats have declared gun control failed. They moved on to confiscation. The Democrat Establishment candidate has embraced gun confiscation.
Democrats took over the legislature in Virginia in November and put gun confiscation at the top of their Honey Do list.
In less than 6 months, gun confiscation has gone from an outlier opinion of a lightweight snowflake to the mainstream.
At his rally with O'Rourke on Monday, Biden said, "I want to make something clear -- I'm gonna guarantee you, this is not the last you're seeing of this guy -- you're gonna take care of the gun problem with me, you're gonna be the one who leads this effort. I'm counting on you, I'm counting on you, we need you badly."
Meanwhile, Little Big Gulp Bloomberg held a townhall meeting.
One of the townspeople asked Mini Mike, "How do you justify pushing for more gun control when you have an armed security detail that's likely equipped with the same firearms and magazines that you seek to ban the common citizen from owning? Does your life matter more than mine or my family's or these peoples?"
The answer was yes.
Mini Mike said, "Look, I probably get 40 or 50 threats every week, OK, and some of them are real. That just happens when you are the mayor of New York City or you are very wealthy, and if you are campaigning for president of the United States you get lots of threats."
He surrounds himself with a posse of police to feel important. The security predated his presidential run.
Mayor Nanny is the financier of gun control. Salt control and of course, Big Gulp control are next.

Mumbai: A long Christmas weekend, early online sales and leftover stocks have prompted retailers across the country to advance their end-of-season sales.
Department stores like Shoppers Stop, Pantaloons and Lifestyle, along with brands such as Charles & Keith, Massimo Dutti, announced their sales this week.
"Sales slowed down in the October-November period, right after Diwali, and the sales in November in particular have not been good," Govind Shrikhande, managing director, Shoppers Stop, said.
"So most of us (retailers) have preponed our sales by a week," he said, adding that Shoppers Stop opened its sales on Friday. He added that retailers were keen to liquidate some of their stocks bought at VAT rates because input credits on goods bought under the older tax regime will no longer be available after 31 December.
"What we are hearing from retailers is that they still have a lot of stock left," said Anupam T., vice-president of Oberoi Mall in Mumbai. "These sales are happening early to liquidate those stocks. The sales have mostly started today, a week earlier than they did last year," he added.
Rajendra Kalkar, president (west) of High Street Phoenix mall in Lower Parel, Mumbai, agreed that sales have started early. "But I cannot attribute a single reason to it. Some brands in the mall have gone on sale earlier than others. As a mall, we do not have control over when brands go on sale," he said.
Among the brands in the mall offering a discount are Inditex-owned Massimo Dutti, currently on an up-to-50%-off sale, and footwear and bags brand Charles & Keith, which is offering flat 40% off during the Christmas weekend.
"The early sales right now are also to capitalize on the long Christmas weekend of 22-25 December," said Abhishek Bansal, executive director of Pacific India, which runs Pacific Mall in Subhash Nagar, New Delhi. "Brands are cashing in on the weekend. We have also been running weekend promotions with about 60-70% of the brands (located in the mall)," he said.
Meanwhile, end-of-season sales on apparel are already underway online, perhaps prompting brick-and-mortar retailers to offer discounts as well. Flipkart-owned Myntra is running an "End of Reason Sale", offering 50-80% discounts, and Amazon India has a "Wardrobe Refresh" sale with 40-80% off, over the Christmas weekend.
Malls are expecting heavy footfalls this weekend with Salman Khan-starrer Tiger Zinda Hai having released on Friday. A number of multiplexes are located in malls.
To be sure, global fast fashion brands in India say they have always been on sale in December.
"The H&M end of season sale has started in the same week as last year. Since the time we launched in 2015 we have been having the end of season sale in December," a spokesperson for H&M India said in an email, adding that the firm adheres to global apparel sales timelines.

In case you are telling oneself, 'I must sell my own land, ' take the time to read this informative article.
Of training course, selling the land may not be an important matter. Yet, you've possibly been trying to sell off the land regarding months and even years. You might have been spending dues and also taxes on your own land regarding months to be able to years. And also, finally, you're willing to bid farewell to a block of land you haven't had the oppertunity to use in any way. So, why not find a method to promote your terrain?
The problem with marketing your land at the earliest opportunity is which you might run directly into some concerns. Many of the issues may well stem coming from, well, selling the land all on your own.
The industry for terrain is gradual – that often will take months to be able to years to have one offer you, depending on the healthiness of the industry.
It's difficult to get financing coming from banks in case you are selling terrain; you'll really need to get cash customers, who will take the time to locate.
Some terrain sellers go for owner capital, however that locks these into decades of gathering small payments for efforts.
In addition to those causes, it's difficult to do business with a real-estate broker or perhaps agent to offer land. Many brokers give attention to selling homes as well as other properties, so land isn't a priority for some markets.
That you can see, selling land all on your own or using a broker will be tricky. And also, it usually causes a lot more problems than you almost certainly want to deal with. Fortunately, there's ways to sell terrain today without exceptional prolonged headaches of marketing land.

« Who's Involved in Network Marketing? Enlightenment vs. En-dark-enment »
04/13/04 14:52, by admin, Categories: Original Document
Link: http://www.internetnextstep.com
Like all-powerful concepts, Network Marketing has also met resistance due to a lack of understanding. There is no mystery to Network Marketing. It's just another form of sales and distribution. Network Marketing is 50 years young. In the early 1940's a company by the name of California Vitamins recognized that all their new sales representatives coming aboard were friends and family of their existing sales force, primarily because they wanted the product at wholesale cost. They also discovered that it was easier to create a sales force of a lot of people who each sold a small amount of product than it was to find a few superstars who could sell a lot of products.
So they combined those two ideas and designed a sales compensation structure that encouraged their salespeople to invite new representatives from satisfied customers, most of whom were family and friends, who each had the same right to offer the product and representative status to others, which allowed the sales force to grow exponentially. The company rewarded them for the sales produced by their entire group or network of sales representatives. Network Marketing was born! A few years later, the company changed its name to NutraLite Food Supplement Corporations.
In 1956, NutraLite was joined in Network Marketing by Dr. Forrest Shaklee to gain a broader distribution of the food supplements he had developed.
Not long after, in 1959, former NutraLite distributors Rich DeVoss and Jay Van Andel started the Amway company as the American Way of marketing products. Like many truly innovative breakthroughs, the development of true network marketing was an accident.
Abuses of exponential growth haunted network marketing for years and it is still misunderstood today. One of the first abuses of the concept of exponential growth to generate income may have been the chain letter craze that swept the U.S. after World War I. The letters promised great profit if you would send a dime or a dollar to the person at the bottom.
The chain letters spread as far as Europe, and by the 1930's the U.S. post office estimated that 10 million letters were being mailed each day. Postal Authorities and law enforcement agencies battled the fraudulent schemes and the chain letter phenomenon began to subside in the early 1940s. Unfortunately, this scam spawned schemes which came to be known as pyramids, where money was given for the right to involve others, as no valid product which was being purchased from the company.
In 1974, Senator Walter Mondale declared such companies to be the nation's number one consumer fraud.
Law enforcement agencies moved quickly to clean up the abuses. In the mid 1970's, with no clear understanding of what constituted a legitimate use of network marketing, the Federal Trade Commission and state agencies across the nation turned their eyes to almost all network marketing companies. In 1975, the FTC filed suit against Amway, alleging that the company was an illegal pyramid and that its refusal to sell its products in retail stores constituted a restraint of trade.
Amway spent four years and millions of dollars in legal fees to clear its name. In 1979 the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) ruled that Amway was not a pyramid, that its revenue was generated from the sale of its products, and the FTC acknowledged network marketing as a legal and efficient distribution system. Network Marketing exploded in the next decade.

Q: Topological Euler characteristic of a cycle of algebraic curves The topological Euler characteristic of a smooth algebraic curve of genus $g$ equals $2-2g$.
Let $C=\bigcup_{i=1}^n C_i$ be a union of smooth algebraic curves. I am wondering if there is a way to compute the topological Euler characteristic of $C$ in terms of the topological Euler characteristics of $C_i$, $i\in \{1,\cdots,n\}$.
I am assuming that the union is not necessarily disjoint and that the intersections may not be transversal.

Distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks are malicious efforts to disrupt normal traffic of a specific server, network or service by overloading the target or its surrounding infrastructure with a flood of Internet traffic. The goal of any DDoS attack is to attain efficiency by employing multiple compromised computer systems as sources of attack traffic. Exploited machines can comprise of networked resources such as IoT devices and computers.
DDoS Attacks can take place for a prolonged time period that could actually lead to a financial loss in your online business. For instance, when customers get in your website, they will immediately see a warning sign saying that they cannot enter the website temporarily because of the high volume of users. In certain cases, some users and technical staff could also fail to realize that the website is already under attack.
Application attacks: Target on web applications and are considered to be the most refined and serious type of attacks.
With the hacker community packing sophisticated and complex attack tools into easy-to-use, downloadable programs, even those who don't have the essential know-how can, in fact, buy the potential to launch and control their own DDoS attacks. The DDoS attack situation will continue to get more complicated as attackers are now beginning to conscript everything, from routers to gaming consoles and modems, in order to increase the volume of attack traffic that they can generate.
Securing internet-facing devices and services is more about helping to protect the internet as an individual network as it is about decreasing the number of devices that can be recruited to take part in a DDoS attack.
It is compulsory for you to have a software tool that will protect you from DDoS attacks. These attacks are generally undetectable via manual checking. You have to ensure that your software tool has a feature called DDoS mitigation. This feature will provide you with an alert and help you fight unwanted DDoS attacks.
A number of ways are available to obtain effective DDoS prevention. At the very outset, it is essential for you to have a specialized software solution and distributed hardware equipment. You must regularly monitor your website performance metrics and also secure your capability.
When a DDoS attack makes an entry into the network with extreme packet-per-second rates, a mitigation solution will be needed with proper packet processing power. It is necessary for you to consider measuring the analytics infrastructure. If you have requested for a realistic performance from your vendor, don't be amazed. Your number could be extremely low. Nowadays, DDoS Attacks are in fact launched simultaneously. Datasheet performance figures give a good indicator to match the product to your requirements, however, it is indeed advisable to test your prospect mitigation solution.
Bandwidth is an important metric and individuals want bandwidth that can handle as many users as possible. However, they may not be aware of a few things. Eventually, networking devices process network packets, which generally differ in size. Less bandwidth is used by small packets, and larger bandwidths are used by large packets. An attacker can quickly stress out the infrastructure by sending several small packets at a high rate – particularly conventional security infrastructure such as Intrusion Detection Systems, or firewalls.
Comodo cWatch has been launched to simplify all of those tedious and complicated steps involved in DDoS prevention. It has been designed into a package comprising of Managed Security Service for websites and applications that incorporates a Web Application Firewall (WAF) provisioned over a Secure Content Delivery Network (CDN). cWatch is a completely managed solution from a 24/7 staffed Cyber Security Operation Center (CSOC) of specialized security analysts and is powered by a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) capable of leveraging data from more than 85 million endpoints in order to detect and mitigate threats even before they occur.
You can do away with your daily concerns about the annoying dangers of malware. You just have to check a web security scanner online and install cWatch on your website to do all the required cleaning.
Trying the Comodo free web security scanner online can, in fact, prevent you from spending more money on paid a web security scanner.
Through the detailed activity reports of the web security scanner online, you will be able to plan effectively before a malware attack.


This consultation concerns the Energinet, Fingrid, Statnett and Svenska kraftnät proposal for the methodology for a market-based allocation process of cross-zonal capacity for the exchange of aFRR balancing capacity in accordance with Article 38(1) of the Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/2195 of 23 November 2017 establishing a guideline on electricity balancing (EB GL).
The common proposals of the TSOs of the Nordic synchronous area can be found below under the Related Documents.
The Nordic TSOs intend to establish a common aFRR capacity market, and have for that reason developed common harmonized rules and processes for the exchange and procurement of aFRR capacity, as described in the separate proposal. The Nordic TSOs intend to allocate cross-zonal capacity in order to secure the exchange of aFRR capacity via market-based allocation. This proposal fulfils Article 38(1) and Article 41(1) of EB GL, which require a proposal for the methodology of this allocation process.
Energinet, Fingrid, Statnett and Svenska kraftnät shall duly take into account the views of stakeholders resulting from the consultation and use them to prepare the final version of the document that will be submitted to the concerned NRAs.
In order to facilitate the consultation process, the TSOs plan to arrange a common Nordic Webinar and national stakeholder meetings. Dates and locations will be published on the respective TSO web page.
In all cases, a sound justification for including or not including the views resulting from the consultation shall be provided together with the submission of the proposal and published in a timely manner before, or simultaneously with, the publication of the proposal.

Q: How to formally prove that a line segment $[z,w]$ can be covered by overlapping disks? Let's say that $[z,w]$, i.e. the closed line segement between $z,w\in \mathbb{C}$ is of length less than $R$. How can I argue for the fact that the line segment can be covered by $5$ disks of radius $R/10$ with centres in $[z,w)$ (halfopen segment)?

A: We have $[z, w] = \{(1-\lambda)z + \lambda w : \lambda \in [0,1]\}$. Consider the disks centered at:
$$\left(1 - \frac{1}{10}\right)z + \frac1{10}w$$
$$\left(1 - \frac{3}{10}\right)z + \frac3{10}w$$
$$\left(1 - \frac{5}{10}\right)z + \frac5{10}w$$
$$\left(1 - \frac{7}{10}\right)z + \frac7{10}w$$
$$\left(1 - \frac{9}{10}\right)z + \frac9{10}w$$
Those disks cover $[z,w]$. Indeed, take an arbitrary $(1-\lambda)z + \lambda w$ for some $\lambda \in [0,1]$.
There exists $i \in \{0, 1, \ldots,9\}$ such that $$\frac{i}{10} \le \lambda \le \frac{i+1}{10}$$
Without loss of generality assume that $i$ is odd. Consider the disk centered at $\left(1 - \frac{i}{10}\right)z + \frac{i}{10}w$.
We have:
\begin{align}\left\|(1-\lambda)z + \lambda w - \left(1-\frac{i}{10}\right)z -
 \frac{i}{10} w\right\|&= \left\|\left(\frac{i}{10} -
 \lambda\right)z + \left(\lambda - \frac{i}{10}\right)w\right\|\\
&=\underbrace{\left(\lambda - \frac{i}{10}\right)}_{\le\frac{1}{10}}\underbrace{\|z-w\|}_{<R}\\
&< \frac{R}{10}
\end{align}
Therefore, $(1-\lambda)z + \lambda w$ is contained in the disk around $\left(1 - \frac{i}{10}\right)z + \frac{i}{10}w$.
If $i$ were even, we would consider the disk centered at $\left(1 - \frac{i+1}{10}\right)z + \frac{i+1}{10}w$.
We conclude that the disks cover $[z,w]$.

Weekends are mostly dedicated to chicken dishes in our home. I am always in search of some new different chicken recipe. Hot and spicy is our usual preference.
While going through some food posts, I noticed one of my friends had posted a chicken curry. The presentation of the dish was indeed very tempting. This recipe is shared by her with me. It's not that spicy but creamy thus breaking our usual monotony.
Heat a tspn of oil in a sauce pan. Fry the chicken pieces on high flame till little brown and keep aside. I then pressure cooked the chicken for 2-3 whistles. But you can skip pressure cooking.
In the same pan, add cloves, bay leaf, cardamom and turmeric. Mix well.
Then add the onion and ginger-garlic paste and saute.
Allow the mixture to cool and then grind in a blender using yoghurt.
In a saucepan, heat the remaining oil. To this add the green chilli, yoghurt mix and saute.
Then add the chicken, coriander powder, pepper powder, sugar and salt. Mix well and allow it to boil.
Then add the kasuri methi and coriander leaves.
