What Attracts People to Each Other?
Surely we know all of the rules of attraction—aphrodisiacs, body shape, attire, status, confidence, intelligence, good genes—the list goes on. We've also probably delved into concepts like facial symmetry, love compatibility, and even astrology. But the answer to why people are attracted to each other is far more simple: We are attracted to people whose features mirror us. Let's go ahead and break it down.
It's Not About Eye Color, Hair Color, and Skin Color
It's about structure. Although according to Psychology Today, we undergo a process called imprinting. That is, if we had a positive relationship with our parent of the opposite sex, we tend to be attracted to individuals who share their traits. This may include physical traits (often similar to our own), such as eye color and hair color. Similarly, women tend to choose partners whose body types most similarly represent their father.
Two attracted individuals often mirror each other—and this is independent of hair color, eye color, and ancestry.
We Are Attracted to People Who Look Like Us
Matthew Robinson, Ph.D. at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia, took a look at physical and genetic markers and came to the following conclusion. According to Sciencemag.org:
People had actively chosen partners with similar genes to themselves . . . . This is evidence in humans of assortative mating, which is a form of sexual selection in which individuals with similar traits mate with one another more frequently than would be expected under a random mating.
What About Outbreeding?
But this data does conflict with what nature favors—genetic diversity. Recent publications comment on the superiority of "mixed-genes." According to a study referenced in The Guardian involving 350,000 individuals from around 100 communities across four continents, "outbreeding" produced taller and more intelligent offspring. The benefit of outbreeding further supports the outstanding evidence that attraction is based on symmetry—not in a lone individual's face, but between two partners.
Mirror Images and Attraction
Two attracted individuals often mirror each other—and this is independent of hair color, eye color, and ancestry. This has to do with face shape, bone structure, body structure, and facial features. We will break this concept down by featuring two highly public couples: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle as well as George Clooney and Amal Clooney.

Why Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Are Attracted to Each Other
We all know that Prince Harry is a "ginger" of fair complexion (white), and Meghan Markle is biracial (black and white); these two clearly have different complexions. We can rationalize that their genetic backgrounds are likely dissimilar—so it is unlikely that they selected each other due to genetic "likeness."
If we take a superficial look at their photos, we will notice some striking similarities:
Face shape: Both have a similar face shape and jaw line. The proportions of their faces—their lips, nose, eye spacing and forehead length are similar as well.
Ear shape: Their ears sit similarly on their heads and their lobes are similar as well.
Nose shape: One could agree that both individuals have a similar length nose and of similar shape.
Smile and mouth shape: Both individuals have a similar smile—with somewhat pronounced canines.
Eye shape: When smiling, both Harry and Meghan's eyes and eyebrow shape behave similarly—their eyes tend to narrow but communicate similar emotions.
Mannerisms: Their expression is similar and candid.
Observe the Markers
The yellow markers are simply there to help you visualize the points of similarity although many other similarities can be noted.

Why George Clooney and Amal Clooney Are Attracted to Each Other
George Clooney has been the movie industry's heartthrob for decades, thanks to his mannerisms and good looks. He finally settled down with a beautiful and intelligent woman. His Irish, German, and English heritage is quite different from Amal Clooney's Lebanese heritage. But if you take a closer look at the two of them, you will notice striking similarities:
Face shape: Both have a similar face oval/long face shape and square chin. The proportions of their faces—lips, nose, forehead length are similar as well.
Ear shape: This photo doesn't represent it well, but both have similar ear shapes and earlobes.
Nose shape: The terminal part of the nose and length are nearly identical.
Smile and mouth shape: Both individuals have a similar top lip and a very "flat"/filed-down upper row of teeth.
Eye shape: Eyebrow shape/effect and eye shape are similar.
Mannerisms: You may note that paired individuals exhibit similar mannerisms (hence the comparable expression).

Do You and Your Partner Mirror Each Other?
The more you investigate the mirroring or symmetry of couples, the more this trend becomes apparent. Do you and your partner mirror each other? If you're still not convinced, take a look at more famous couples—another good example is Haley Baldwin and Justin Beiber.
Just because symmetry and attraction is present, this doesn't mean a couple is destined to be, as all relationships take work—but it will get you noticed. What are your thoughts?

Yea, I was going to say, now I'm going to start to notice it since you pointed it out and made it so easy to identify.
12 months ago from Bend, Oregon
Hi Ellison, thanks so much for that feedback! I've shared it with a few people and now they really watch for bone structure similarities—it's quite interesting once you start noticing! Of course, not always the case but the majority of times . . .
This is so interesting! I love the photo comparisons you did with the lines drawn to make it more clear!

LAINIE HADDEN AND TMTP
By Bill Rudman
As you know, Greater Cleveland lost an irreplaceable community leader and philanthropist on September 20 with the death, at 88, of Lainie Hadden.
When we think of her, we think first of how Lainie, the Junior League and a visionary named Ray Shepardson saved the Playhouse Square theaters from the wrecking ball in the early 1970s. Over the years, she deflected all praise for her work, but those of us who had watched closely knew she spearheaded the effort. By now, of course, the Playhouse Square district has developed beyond her most fantastic dreams.
What you may not know is that Lainie's many "causes" included The Musical Theater Project. More than 20 years ago, while in the first stages of forming TMTP, I paid a call on her at her Cleveland Heights home. The scene in her study -- a room filled with books and LPs -- plays vividly in my mind's eye; I even remember the table where we sat. I knew she loved the "glorious" (her word) classic musicals, and I told her about my own dream: an arts-education nonprofit that would explore them.
Then I said, "Lainie, would you do me the honor of serving on the board of trustees?"
"Oh, I couldn't possibly," she replied. "I have so much on my plate."
I looked her straight in the eyes. "But Lainie," I said, "I can't do this without you."
And I meant it.
It was her turn to look me straight in the eyes: "Well, all right then. I'll sign up." Soon after, she sent me a letter including a line that I still quote: "Musicals remind us of what we like best about ourselves." And let it be known that although Lainie Hadden could be seen in her box at Severance Hall everything Thursday night when the Orchestra was in town, her favorite art form was musical theater. Whenever I alluded to that passion -- which was often, of course -- she gave me her captivating smile.
About 10 years ago, she suggested I present a talk around town with the tongue-in-cheek title, "Everything I Know About Life I Learned From Musicals." I thought it was a crazy idea, but I did it (still do), and she was right. People love that talk, because there's a lot of truth in it.
Lainie served on our board until her death, and for me one of the best things about TMTP was getting to know her better. She became an extraordinarily generous contributor, but it was her generosity of spirit that inspired all of us. My colleague Nancy Maier recalls, "When Lainie particularly enjoyed one of our concerts, I would receive a personal phone call, or a card from her, or even flowers. We had the most wonderful talks, and she was truly interested in everything about me and my family."
Lainie and I chatted on the phone nearly every Saturday morning. Typically the conversation began with a jovial "Mr. Rudman!" -- and an inquiry about that night's edition of Footlight Parade on WCLV. When I revealed the topic, she would guess which songs I had chosen. (Lainie knew the musical theater repertoire so well, she easily could have hosted my show and done it with style).
Then we'd segue into conversation about TMTP and Broadway and PBS specials and national affairs. At the end it was always, "Goodbye, dear man," and my own ironically formal "Goodbye, Mrs. Hadden." We enjoyed the fact that both of us had been college English majors; our dialogue was unabashedly old-fashioned, even courtly.
Lainie became quite frail a year ago, but in February, that didn't stop her from attending at TMTP concert in Beachwood in the middle of snowstorm. Dressed in a multicolored, knockout winter coat and moving with the aid of her elegant walking stick, she had come to hear Cole Porter, by God, and once my commentary began, I could see her down front taking notes, as usual. What she didn't know, she wanted to learn. Lainie and Cole had something in common: what critic Bredan Gill called and "elevated mind."
At TMTP board meetings, I sometimes made a point of hailing her as the "mother of us all." She clearly liked playing the role, and yet, as she told Cleveland magazine several years ago, "I've been too busy living my life to consider my legacy."
I visited four times last summer. One gorgeous evening on her patio we traded reflections. There was something I wanted to know, but I had to be careful how I said it or she wouldn't accept the compliment: "Lainie, you're the most gracious person I've ever met, and I wonder where that came from."
"From my father," she said, "who brought home my first treasured Broadway album, Oklahoma!, on a set of 78s. He was a great influence because he taught me the art of living."
Lainie's graciousness has had an impact on our organization, if such an ineffable quality can by passed on outside a family circle. I do believe it can, and for that, among so many other qualities, we felt privileged to know her -- to live in her time.
The 2019-20 TMTP concert and cabaret series is dedicated to the memory of Lainie Hadden and to her fellow trustee Robert Conrad.

I found the comment "Everything I Know About Life I Learned From Musicals." very interesting.
Here's an example of real life learning from musicals.
Quick background:
A member of the West Side Story cast I met at Musicarnival was Michael Bennett (Baby John). As you know he went on to conceive of "A Chorus Line".
Several years post Musicarnival and A Chorus Line I was a senior manger in the technology industry. More than once I used a tidbit from one musical or another to coach an employee or group of employees.
One specific example was a time I was coaching a young man in my organization who was unsure what his next move was to be. A Chorus Line had a very apt allegory for his situation... "I Can Do That"
As I am sure you know it's a song about the younger brother grabbing his sister's dance shoes and enthusiastically knowing he "could do that" (dance).
My point to this young man was...if you really think you can do that, what ever that is, pursue it with all your enthusiasm. He took that lead and has been extremely successful in the career he chose at that moment.
There are other examples.

MountainStar's Birdies for Babies raises more than $278,000!
More than 260 supporters of MountainStar Family Relief Nursery joined us at the Broken Top Club for the annual Birdies 4 Babies fundraiser and together raised an incredible $278,000 for Central Oregon families and children. This was an increase of more than $100,000 from 2016 and far surpassed MountainStar's goal for the event. The event also helped the Gloria Lopez- Davis Infant Program Endowment break the $100,000 mark. The endowment will be an important source of funds for many years to come and will help keep Central Oregon children safe far into the future. Generous contributors were joined by hundreds of businesses and sponsors who donated gifts for our auction and covered event costs. We would like to extend a special thanks to Pahlisch Homes for their STAR Event sponsorship. Pahlisch has been a great friend to MountainStar and Birdies 4 Babies for many years now and they have been helped grow this event into what it is today.
Thank you to Co-Chairs Virginia de Kat and Kathy Murch, as well as the planning committee: Carole Frazier, Maureen Swaney, Robin Bailey, Stephanie Merritt, Joyce Norman, and Steven Jacobson. We would like to offer a special thank you to committee member Shelly Hummel. Shelly was an unbelievable asset to the committee throughout event planning and during the event. Our team is indebted for her service to the families we serve. Auctioneer Tim Leahy was instrumental in the success of Birdies 4 Babies. His professionalism, expertise, and friendly demeanor were invaluable. Judy Heck reprised her fairy godmother role and did a fabulous job as the emcee.
Thank you to the Crosswater Community, particularly Kim Rogers, Andi Northcote, Diana Hall, Teresa Schneider, and Valerie Britton for all have you done and continue to do for the babies!

4 Responses to Have You Participated in a TLLP Project? Please Share Your Experience(s) with Technology!
I'm happy to share my TLLP experience!
I worked with a team of 5 educators from my school on a project that we called "Engaging and Motivating Students Through the use of Technology". We participated in the TLLP in 2011. It was an incredibly empowering and transformational experience! Our TLLP team brought 5 SMART Boards to our classrooms and we worked collaboratively to self train one another, learn, share and grow. Following our TLLP, our principal committed to directing fundraising efforts to installing SMART Boards in every classroom. Within three years that goal was achieved and our school continues to integrate technology in powerful, thoughtful and meaningful ways. We support one another, collectively, as a staff, trouble shoot and share new and innovative ideas and practices. Our students continue to reap the benefits of our project everyday.
To be able to collaborate with my colleagues and self direct our learning for the greater common good of our school community was incredibly empowering and enriching learning experience.
Back in 2011, I wasn't nearly as "connected" as I am now. Although bringing technology to our school was the focus, I wish, in hindsight, I had the PLN that I have now, through Titter and a variety of education communities (Teach Ontario, National Geographic Education, Google Education, etc) to tap into for advice and suggestions. We did share our project on the TLLP website and with colleagues within our school board through workshops. Today, I would share our project with my PLN through Twitter and my blog.
What worked well was having team members pick different parts of the project to lead (ie. budget, communication, organizer, etc). It was also important for us to stay focused, organized and on task. An agenda for our meetings and next steps were also important. Also key, was finding a meeting place that was free of distraction. It was also important for us to plan with the end in mind, while being flexible throughout the project. Our challenge is now to convince our school board officials to recognize the value of the learning and tools that we have implemented throughout our project and maintain, support and refresh the technology that we have in place because of our TLLP project. We would also like to continue to share our project with others and perhaps even look at next steps!
What a great opportunity to reflect on a truly transformative experience!
I was fortunate enough to be a member of the very first TLLP cohort. I was teaching grades 7 and 8 at a rural and northern middle school. We were a large school for our district – but small compared to other locations at about 250 students.
When our principal got the email, he said we should think about applying, but that he couldn't and wouldn't get involved. He put some chart papers up in the staff room for us to post our ideas, and to add our names if we wanted to be involved.
I put up the words Blogging for Literacy, and despite the fact that no one knew what a blog was, about half our staff signed up. I became the project leader because I had about five minutes experience with blogging; I had once posted a reply on another person's. And I love doing grant applications.
Our group of seven teachers brainstormed some basic goals, submitted, and was accepted.
Our learning and leadership opportunities were pretty much endless, due to our starting point. We had enough release money for six or seven monthly half-day meetings. I now think of the T-PACK model and can see that our success was in part due to very strong pedagogical and content knowledge. From there, we learned how to use the Edublogs platform and dove into day-to-day blogging with our students. We had a great blog site, with group areas for each participating class and lots of tags. We posted what would now be called Digital Citizenship tips in our computer lab. Most of us used the blog in conjunction with our English classes. One teacher used it extensively for math thinking and communication. After a few months, two teachers who had opted not to join our team, asked if they could put their classes in. We also had a French teacher use it.
Meanwhile one of our original members had moved to another school, and we were able to have an authentic blogging communication with her students – beyond our walls. Pretty powerful stuff in a pre-Skype era.
For me the biggest learning had to do with mentoring adult learners. Because we were already friends, the initial discussion about norms was very frank. One person said don't go too fast, don't assume I understand what you are asking me to do. I stopped sending suggestions and tips via email and waited until we were together, so we could go through steps visually, and model the ideas and results. I would say this really brought the concept of DI home to me. Having learned this from my peers, it gave me practical knowledge when the term began to be used for classroom instruction.
The TLLP was an essential stepping stone for someone like me, with "lone wolf" tendencies, in order to achieve my career goal of being a TELT contact and program coordinator for my board. Yes, I have always been an early adopter, but the TLLP showed me a path forward as a facilitator in my school, which in turn benefited others.
With my students, I used blogs extensively for several years. Sometimes they had their own, sometimes we would contribute to a single class blog. Mastering one totally new platform made me much more confident in introducing many more in the following years.
This project had a huge impact on our whole school, moving forward. The idea that we as teachers could form a group, devise a long-range plan, implement and monitor put us in a good place when we had to start doing CIs. It really built trust between me and the other teachers, such that a few years later my principal fostered a project that permitted me to be in all English classes once a week for a tech-based CI. The co-planning, co-teaching and moderation of this project was another huge learning and leadership experience for all of us.
In addition, at the Toronto PD sessions, I met two teachers from Ottawa Catholic DSB who also had a technology project, and we are online and in-person friends to this very day.
We used weebly, TeachOntario, Piccollage, Twitter and Google docs, slides and forms.

Corning opens optical fibre manufacturing plant in Poland
Corning Incorporated has officially opened a new optical fibre manufacturing facility in Mszczonów, Poland, as it looks to meet growing demand for high-speed connectivity in the EU and surrounding regions.
The facility is, according to the company, one of the largest optical fibre plants in the EU, and is Corning's latest in a series of global investments in fibre and cable manufacturing totaling more than EUR 500 million since 2020.
With the new facility adds approximately 250 employees to its 3,000-strong workforce in Poland. At its campus in Strykow Corning manufactures optical cable and connectivity components.
But that's not all, Corning is also expanding its manufacturing capacity in the United States to meet growing bandwidth demand in North America. In August the company announced it will open a cable manufacturing plant near Phoenix, Arizona. A cable manufacturing expansion announced last year in North Carolina is currently ramping up.
"Corning is expanding its fiber manufacturing operations in Europe, as our customers accelerate investments in future-ready networks," said Corning Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Wendell P. Weeks, in the press release. "From broadband to 5G to cloud computing, tomorrow's networks all depend on optical fibre. This facility will ensure we can continue to efficiently serve our customers in Europe and beyond, during a time of record demand. We appreciate the support of state and local officials, and the dedication of our skilled workforce."


Planio always had a time tracking feature to log the minutes and hours you spent on issues and projects. You can check where your time went by creating detailed and customizable reports in your projects.
We have just made these reports even more accessible. To check how much time you spent on your projects, you can now access your Spent time reports directly from the project menu.
With Planio, you can upload files to about anything in your projects, including issues, blog posts, wiki pages, ... Now, we made it even easier to preview these files right from your browser without having to download them to your computer first.
In the future, we will expand this list to support further file types.
To directly download the file, you can click on the download icon to the right of the attachment. Alternatively, you click on the Download button on the attachment's preview page.
With Planio's builtin time tracking features, you can effortlessly track where you spend your days and ensure that your plan comes together.
Now, you can start tracking time on your assigned issues more easily. In the issue list, you can now start tracking time for a specific issue directly from the right-click context menu.
This works from every issue list, including the Roadmap and the Agile Task Boards. If you have already opened the issue, you can also start the time tracking from the clock-menu in the upper right corner.
After you have finished your task, you can stop time tracking from either place and directly log the spent time on the respective issue.
As you might know, Planio is powered by Redmine and runs on an always up-to-date branch that's individually managed and hardened by the Redmine experts at Planio.
Today, we've rolled out the upgrade to the latest stable Redmine 3.3.2. The upgrade comes with a number of smaller improvements and bug fixes. Many of the features in Redmine 3.3 have been contributed by our engineers at Planio and as such have been available in Planio for a long time already. Likewise, all security patches from Redmine had already been backported and installed for all Planio accounts within only hours of their respective disclosure, following our general security policies.
Drag and Drop reordering for statuses, trackers, roles, etc.
You can now use Planio Help Desk together with Userlike to get chat logs and messages from your website chat widget directly in Planio. Contact data will be synced and you can follow up on chats directly from Planio Help Desk.
We have renamed our previously called Pro Feature CRM & Helpdesk to Planio Help Desk in order to call things by their proper names.
We introduced Planio Help Desk back in 2012 – that's over 5 years ago! Since then, it has indeed been about Customer Relationship Management, but it always used to focus on the supporting aspect of it which is now more commonly referred to as help desk.
Furthermore, the term CRM is mostly used when people talk about sales tools now – which Planio is definitely not. That's why we thought it would be more consistent to drop the CRM name and focus only on Help Desk instead.
This change only affects the user interface and one particular place in the Planio API – when you fetch issues now using the /issues endpoint, you'll get the reply token necessary for tracking pages and for sending email updates as a value to the reply_token key (instead of crm_reply_token). The old key will remain in addition to the new one until July 1st, 2017 after that, it will be removed from the API.
Update: While we were at it, we also gave the previous email drop box feature a proper name and are calling it Planio Inbox now. This means that your project inbox addresses are now following the schema inbox+account+project+code@plan.io, but the old addresses starting with dropbox+... will of course continue to work.
You've been able to use your Help Desk Templates as questions within your project's own FAQ section for quite some time now. Until now, you always had to navigate to Settings within your project to edit your templates, though.
You'll now find a small Edit icon on the right side next to each FAQ item which allows you to quickly edit the corresponding Help Desk Template directly.
As you surely know, you can use Gravatars to personalize your user icon at Planio. Simply sign up at Gravatar, upload your picture and Planio will automatically pick it up.
Until now though, users who didn't use a Gravatar were displayed as a rather sad and grey boring silhouette.
We've changed this today by adding colorful default avatars to Planio. They're active in all accounts already. If you've used a different default before, you can enable them via Administration → Settings → Display.

i need a good folder.
Hey what CPU and Memory do have in there ?
I've got an X2 550 BE in it (running 3.4GHz @ quad and default vcore for 24/7 folding). Memory is 2x2GB OCZ Platinum 1600MHz "Low Voltage". It was actually a triple channel kit, but I'm only using two of the sticks.
How are the temps with that board ? Reason I ask is my hubby just got that same board and a Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition.
Quite good. The large passive cooler is quite effective and the heatpipe is very functional.

L.A. county says no to pot shops.
L.A. County made good on its threat to ban medical marijuana dispensaries. In a 4-1 vote the county's Board of Supervisors moved to outlaw pot shops in unincorporated parts of L.A.
Those parts seem few and far between, but they represent about a million people. So now you'll have to go to the city of Los Angeles (the nation's pot-shop capital) or West Hollywood for your weed.
It looks like Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky was the lone no vote on this thing.
"Attracting crime and other nuisances, these facilities have a negative impact on the communities where they've operated -- leading more than 100 cities and 9 counties in California to pass similar ordinances. Since many municipalities in Los Angeles County currently have either a ban or moratorium, adjacent unincorporated communities would become the obvious location of choice for dispensary operators -- creating an undue burden for residents in these areas."
An amendment to the ordinance, introduced by one Yaroslavsky, will impose $1,000-a-day fines on those pot shops that stay open despite the ban.
So buy 'em if you can, while you can, 'cause the board takes a final vote Dec. 7, then this thing is law in an extra 30 days.

After choosing a file (a rare Pepe GIF) that was 899MB in size to test the app's features, the platform generated an invoice address after "Continue" was pressed. In order to upload the Pepe GIF, the invoice asked for 0.04BCH or roughly $ 15 to embed it into the chain. Once the transaction is paid, the platform gives the user a window to add a change address during the end of the process as well. Following the change address output, Blockupload gives the user a hash so anyone can download the specific file after it's broadcasted.
Because $ 15 is pretty expensive to add an animated Pepe GIF to the chain, a text file was uploaded instead. Blockupload provides users with a notepad-like window so they can type or copy and paste any text they want into the upload window. The Blockupload platform will then convert the writing into a .txt file. Uploading a text file is significantly cheaper than embedding a larger file as the price to upload the Jabberwocky poem is only around 0.0002BCH or 6 cents.
On social media forums like Reddit's r/btc, the platform was welcomed by some but not by others. Some BCH fans expressed the opinion that using IPFS is a better and far cheaper alternative. The cost to use Bitcoin Files is a good example compared to the cost of a 1MB upload on Blockupload, which is currently around $ 15. BCH developer Jonathan Toomim explained that the Sia protocol would be even more appropriate to use than IPFS. Meanwhile, other people thought the idea was great for anti-censorship and one person emphasized that right now the biggest threat on the web is censorship with scary regulations like EU's Article 11 and 13. Essentially, they believe that individuals and organizations will pay for immutability if the web becomes far more censored in the future.

On March 8, London-based exchange Voltaire announced a new incentive for registered traders that provides the ability to earn BCH during each trade executed on the platform. According to Voltaire, which bases all of its exchange paired denominations in BCH, users will earn 0.2 percent of each trade and will be paid in bitcoin cash.
BCH-fueled exchange Voltaire has announced a new reward for traders. Voltaire is a cryptocurrency trading platform that bases all market denominations in BCH which launched in September of 2018. At the moment the exchange provides two markets – BTC/BCH and BSV/BCH – but in the near future the platform is implementing ETH/BCH and LTC/BCH. Now Voltaire has added a program called Cashback that will provide users with 0.2 percent on every executed trade. BCH rewards accumulated will be sent to the user's exchange wallet. The Cashback promotion is enabled by default on all pairs offered by Voltaire.
Voltaire.cash exchange supports BCH as the base exchange pair.
The exchange also detailed that Voltaire is continuing to expand its team and has other ambitious projects planned. According to Voltaire, the startup is expecting an investment in Q2 that will help bolster the platform's goals. "Several institutional and strategic investors have expressed interest in funding Voltaire's growth," the exchange remarked. Voltaire has already received early funding from the incubator Think, Try it, Do, which is sponsored by the University of Exeter.
Voltaire's trading engine shows cashback rewards on the bottom left of the screen.
High transaction fees and extremely slow processing times as observed in 2017 are unacceptable and have a catastrophic impact on payment and trading experience — We chose Bitcoin Cash because we believe it's the most efficient and fastest technology to use for payments and trading.
There aren't many exchanges that offer pure BCH markets like Voltaire, so BCH enthusiasts have been visiting the platform since launch. Currently, the trading platforms Panda Exchange and Coinex offer a section of BCH markets as well but they also offer segmented BTC and ETH markets too. With 0.2 percent BCH rewards for each maker order made on Voltaire, the incentive may entice more traders to visit the exchange. "As part of Voltaire's core value of transparency, a calculator has been built to allow users to calculate potential bitcoin cash earnings for trading on Voltaire," the exchange concluded.
What do you think about Voltaire's BCH-powered Cashback incentive program for trades? Let us know what you think about this subject in the comments section below.

Firm van der Boog & van den Bosch is an authoritative year-round producer of Matricaria. The company was founded as a one man business by (grandfather) Piet van den Bosch in 1910 in Rijnsburg ( Holland ), so now it exists over a 100 years!
What once started with the production of vegetables in the open air has grown out to a greenhouse company, established in Valkenburg ( community Katwijk, near The Hague ), that is specialized in the year-round production of top-quality Matricaria (Tanacetum parthenium).
The company is a pioneer when it comes to durable producing and was one of the first to introduce the use of natural enemies in horticultural flower crops. Due to our efforts on the areas of environment, durability, working conditions and safety we are certified with the inspection marks MPS – A and MPS – Social Qualified ( MPS – SQ ).
With these two certificates we have been member from the beginning of the international trademark "Fair Flowers, Fair Plants" , abbreviated as F.F.P. ( and a.k.a. "Flower label" ).
Next to that the company supports by membership the "Pure – Summerflowers" project, that was set up to promote the sales – turnover of so called "summer flowers".
*Unfortunately "Fair Flowers, Fair Plants" has ended its existance as a seperate certificate on January 1 – 2018. But that doesn't change our approach when it's about sustainability, we go on like before and remain MPS – A(+) and MPS – Social Qualified ( MPS – SQ ). So we leave the F.F.P. certificate standing on our site. "We care about the footprint we leave behind"…….
Our missions are the production of top quality Matricaria for the higher segments of the market in a durable way and – next to that – continuously innovation.
Firm van der Boog & van den Bosch is operating under the same roof with their daughter company Celex b.v., which is active in the breeding and selection of the crop Celosia, both pot / bedding plants as well as cut flowers. This is the only company worldwide that is specialized in the breeding and selection of Celosia and with that world market leader.

Q: Applying a property to each element in several arrays, then returning a flat map with one array I have a collection that looks like this
[
  {
    count: 123,
    description: 'some description',
    articles: [
     {...}
    ]
  },
  {
    count: 234,
    description: 'some description',
    articles: [
      {...}
    ]
  }
]

Each object in the collection has a collection of articles. What I need is to apply the description to each article object in the respective collection in each element of the primary collection. I also want to end up with a flat array containing only articles. Clearly I'm using mergeMap incorrectly, but I'm not sure how to do it.
I have tried this
json$.pipe(
    // Filter out empty arrays
    filter(section => section.count > 0),
    // Apply the descriptions
    map(section => section.articles.map(a => (Object.assign(a, section.sectionName)))),
    mergeMap(x => x.articles)
).subscribe(x => console.log(x));

But the articles do not have the description property in them, and it's not a flat array of articles. I've tried a few things but I'm unsure how to proceed

A: You only need to concatMap the outer observable, after adjusting each article.

const { Observable } = Rx;
const { map, concatMap, filter } = Rx.operators;

const json$ = Observable.from([
  {
    count: 123,
    description: 'some description 123',
    articles: [
      {id: 1},
      {id: 2},
    ]
  },
  {
    count: 234,
    description: 'some description 234',
    articles: [
      {id: 3},
      {id: 4},
    ]
  }
]);

const withDescription$ = json$.pipe(
  filter(({count}) => count > 0),
  concatMap(
    ({articles, description}) => Observable.from(articles).map(a => ({...a, description}))
  )
);

withDescription$.subscribe(console.log);
<script src="https://unpkg.com/@reactivex/rxjs@^5/dist/global/Rx.min.js"></script>

If you don't need any special behavior on the inner observable, you could simplify to:
const withDescription$ = json$.pipe(
  filter(({count}) => count > 0),
  concatMap(
    ({articles, description}) => articles.map(a => ({...a, description}))
  ),
);

Since the early 1930s Swedish prison authorities have constantly aimed at reducing the use of prison sentences and so, although certain offences have increased, the number of prisoners has fallen. In 1971 there were 5900 prison places and about 4600 prisoners. By 1973 the number of prisoners had fallen to 3600, the lowest number for ten years.

Fearne Cotton vows to change after letting others 'dull' her fun side
By Julia Hunt, PA Entertainment Correspondent
Fearne Cotton has vowed to get back to who she used to be after letting others "dull" her more fun side.
The star, 38, posted a long message on Instagram saying that she had "built up walls" and sometimes "diluted" her personality as a result of comments from the media and online trolls.
Sharing throwback images of herself, Cotton wrote: "My mate Harry just sent me a video of me back in 2003 at a NY party tipsy, inhibition free and having a lot of fun (with a questionable haircut).
(Fearne Cotton/Instagram)
"It stopped me in my tracks and made me realise how much I've let others dull that side of me.
"The press, online comments, critics all suggesting I might need to change and me in turn believing it.
"I've built up walls to protect myself, diluted my personality at times and second guessed every negative comment that might come my way."
"Well f*** that!" added the mother-of-two.
"My new resolution is to bring that b**** BACK! #2020."
Cotton married Jesse Wood, the son of Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood, in 2014.
The couple have a son and a daughter together.


I love Christmas. It is absolutely my favorite time of year. And I keep it that way by preplanning and starting early. I start holiday baking in September. I also do my to-do lists and holiday card list in September. And I start my shopping in September. Now-I don't get it all done before December-because some of the fun of the season (especially with living in such a bustling city) is shopping during the holidays. But I keep who I have left to buy for in December to a minimum so I am not as stressed out. I keep a small list of gift ideas and recipients in my purse or wallet, with any size or age notes next to it. I also keep a "miscellaneous" list I may need, such as bows, cards, cookie tins, etc. This way, from September to December, I am buying things as they go on sale or as I am inspired. The great thing about doing Christmas planning and purchasing this way is the spend. You can spend a little bit of cash a week if you plan right. That way, you are not having a big money burden in December or the heart attack credit card bill in January. The one thing you will need thought out if you plan on pre-shopping is storage. I am fortunate I have a usable third floor attic that I hide bags in. So if you are going to try and pre-shop, have an idea of where to store everything. Husbands get less cranky that way and children are less curious. Merry September Christmas!

What Is This Thing Called Love? è un famoso brano jazz scritto da Cole Porter nel 1929 per il musical Wake Up and Dream. È stato cantato per la prima volta nel marzo 1929 da Elsie Carlisle. Il brano, in seguito, è divenuto un jazz standard e una delle composizioni tra le più eseguite di Porter.

Wake Up and Dream è stato messo in scena a Londra ben 263 volte. Ha avuto successo anche a New York con Jack Buchanan, dove i critici hanno apprezzato molto l'esecuzione di Tilly Losch arrivando a 136 recite. La prima statunitense dello spettacolo è stata a dicembre 1929 al Broadway theatre; nell'interpretazione americana, il brano è stato cantato da Frances Shelley. Ginny Simms ha cantato il brano nel 1946 in Night and Day, film biografico su Porter.

I musicisti jazz hanno subito inserito il brano nel loro repertorio. Le registrazioni di Ben Bernie e Fred Rich lo portano velocemente nella hit-parade del 1930. Il brano è stato registrato anche dal pianista stride James P. Johnson, il clarinettista Artie Shaw e il chitarrista Les Paul Viene eseguito con un tempo abbastanza veloce; infatti, la registrazione di Clifford Brown e Max Roach del 1956 è la più conosciuta tra quelle uptempo. Nel 1941, il sassofonista Sidney Bechet ne ha interpretato una versione più lenta con Charlie Shavers.

La progressione armonica del brano è alla base di parecchie composizioni jazz, tra le quali spiccano:
Hot House di Tadd Dameron;
Barry's Bop di Fats Navarro;
Subconscious-Lee di Lee Konitz;
Fifth House di John Coltrane;
Wham Bam Thank You Ma'am di Charles Mingus.

Is Hannah Brown Single? What Her Life Looks Like After Visit With Peter Weber on 'The Bachelor'

Hannah Brown is back on The Bachelor, but that doesn't mean she's looking for love. The former Bachelorette was teased as an integral part of Peter Weber's Bachelor season, and fans will already get a taste of that added drama on Monday night.
While Brown does appear on The Bachelor seemingly to talk to Weber, there's more to the story. Spoiler site Reality Steve claims Brown will not join Weber's season, even though the season's trailer showed Weber asking Brown to stay on the show. Instead, she's expected to chat with Weber and design a group date for him to get to know his first group of women even better.
Weber has already admitted Brown's visit brought up feelings he thought he'd put behind him. "Before she came, before that first night, in my mind, I was over Hannah," he explained to Access. "I wouldn't have taken this opportunity if I wasn't…after I saw her that first night, I may have questioned if I was over her."
It's unknown if Brown felt the same, but she did imply she wouldn't have had time to stay on the show and compete for Weber's heart. "I feel like if we put two and two together, like, I worked my a** of to win that mirrorball… I was in the studio eight hours a day," she said of her time on Dancing With The Stars (DWTS), which she ultimately won in November.
Some have rumored Brown may have begun a relationship with her DWTS partner, Alan Bersten, though both have denied it. As far as the public knows, Brown is currently single.
Bersten explained their friendship in a conversation with PeopleTV's Reality Check. "Hannah and I, it was a different partnership than I've ever experienced before. Because after rehearsals almost every day, we would go and eat and just hang out and that's very rare when you spend six hours with someone that you want to still see them afterwards," he said. "So I'm really lucky that me and Hannah became such good friends."
He then clarified if there could be a romantic spark. "I don't think so," Bersten noted. "I think it's just friends."
Brown has made similar comments. She explained on an episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show in November, which was hosted by Justin Hartley. "I barely have time to get paper towels," Brown said. "I don't have time to date right now…I tried that. I actually dated 30 guys at one time. I don't know if you know this or not: I spent a whole year of my life trying to date and it still didn't work out."
She spoke of Bersten in particular. "No! I'm not [dating him]…We're great friends," Brown explained. "He kind of has to be my best friend, so I make him be."

"Now is the time", one of the most resonant phrases from Dr. Martin Luther King's Lincoln Memorial speech of August 1963 ("I have a Dream") became a core part of President Obama's rhetorical armoury, particularly in Congress.
In the original speech, on August 28th 1963 in Washington, Dr. King used the phrase, "Now is the time", three times in four consecutive sentences near the beginning of his landmark civil rights speech.
President Obama used the same phrase, "Now is the time", in his "Now is the season for change" healthcare speech to Congress on September 9th 2009. He managed to repeat the phrase twice in identical consecutive sentences. So, it's not quite the same use of repetition as Dr. King, but the effect on his audience was obvious.
In his major speech to the joint Houses of Congress on 24th February he used the phrase twice in consecutive sentences. No coincidence there.
All the meaning, symbolism and resonance of the Civil Rights movement is captured in this phrase, "Now is the time", when it's re-used by the President.
You can find out more repetition tips with our series of public speaking tips. Or, alternatively you can organise a corporate public speaking training course for your team. Or, perhaps you can join one of our public training courses, held off-site at specialist training centres.

Q: Why would SUM(COL1 + COL2) and SUM(COL1) + SUM(COL2) yield differently? This is a rather odd result. I expect these to have the same yield.

Also below is the link to the excel extract from the database.
https://twentius.opendrive.com/files?89038281_muoyg
Edit: Columns used for SUM have NULL cells.

A: Probably, there are some NULL values. NULL + 1 is NULL. And SUM filters out NULL values.
You can use ISNULL(JAN, 0) + ISNULL(FEB, 0) + ... to work around this issue.

A: It's almost certainly NULL values:
declare @t table (Col1 int,Col2 int)
insert into @t(Col1,Col2) values
(1,3),
(5,7),
(9,NULL)

select SUM(Col1+Col2),SUM(Col1)+SUM(Col2) from @t

Produces:
----------- -----------
16          25

A: It is because of the null, try this (i am using the example given by Damien)
select  sum(isnull(col1,0)+isnull(col2,0)) from @t

Through the insertion and stimulation of very thin needles, acupuncture activates the self-healing mechanisms of the body, encouraging it to return to a natural state of balance and equilibrium, and thus to optimal health. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, a vital energy called "qi" flows throughout the body via a system of channels or meridians. Through acupuncture, specific points around the body are selected to open and regulate the appropriate meridians, thus restoring the natural health and function of the body.
Patrcia is a California licensed acupuncturist and herbalist practicing Chinese medicine in an integrative setting at the Hayes Valley location.

August 1, 2014 marked the 35th year of Mark Jewell, M.D's. clinical practice in Eugene, Oregon. He achieved a significant accomplishment with regards to a zero incidence of infection following a primary breast augmentation surgery in the last 35 years of his practice.
This data is corroborated by other FDA-approved, Institutional Review Board oversight studies that Dr. Jewell has been involved with over the last 22 years. A peer-reviewed scientific study written by Dr. Jewell that was published in Aesthetic Surgery Journal: January 2010, also documented zero incidence of infections following primary breast augmentation with the anatomically-shaped, highly-cohesive Allergan 410 and Mentor CPG implants in 237 women. The average follow up for the Allergan cohort was 42.5 months (range = 20 to 97 months) and 51.8 months for the Mentor CPG cohort (range = 16 to 77 months). There were also no late-term infections reported.
An infection following the implantation of a prosthetic device, whether orthopedic total joints or a breast implant is a devastating surgical complication. Dr. Jewell and his staff have employed specific precautionary steps and processes to reduce the incidence of post-operative infections.
Dr. Jewell has an AAAASF-Accredited Office Surgical Facility within his clinic where he performs approximately 98% of his augmentation procedures. The use of quality improvement processes has been essential in improving safety, quality, and patient satisfaction, according to Dr. Jewell. This equates to operational excellence in performing breast augmentation.
Through his approach, primary breast augmentation has evolved into a highly-refined, differentiated procedure in which all steps are inter-connected to produce best-in-class outcomes. If you are interested in this approach for elective cosmetic surgery, please contact Dr. Jewell's office to arrange a consultation.

Free to Love and Free to Serve
By Cecilia Yau | July 31, 2005
The book of Galatians reminds us we are called to be free, and to use that freedom to serve in love.
Gender and Inheritance
By Beulah Wood | July 31, 2011
Hidden behind much patriarchal thinking is a pervasive patrilineal worldview. The belief that the family line is a male line and that males own and inherit the resources, has colored nearly all our cultures in the past and still accounts for much oppression and sidelining of women. Beulah will speak from her experience in south Asian culture, recognizing that, within families, women often become the perpetrators of discrimination against females. Does that happen to some extent near all of us? The Bible culture too is patrilineal. How shall we view that?
By William Witt | November 01, 2020
William Witt argues that not only those in favor of, but also those opposed to, women's ordination embrace new theological positions in response to cultural changes of the modern era.
Women in the Pulpit
By Frances Willard | January 01, 1889
Written by Frances Willard, a leader of the temperance movement, this book is a collection of testimonies provided by men and women preachers including Dr. Van Dyke a Presbyterian and Dr. Townsend a Methodist theologian.
Too Heavy a Yoke: Black Women and the Burden of Strength
By Chanequa Walker-Barnes | June 18, 2014
Black women are strong. At least that's what everyone says and how they are constantly depicted. But what, exactly, does this strength entail? And what price do Black women pay for it? In this book, the author, a psychologist and pastoral theologian, examines the burdensome yoke that the ideology of the Strong Black Woman places upon African American women.
Imagining Equity: The Gifts of Christian Feminist Theology
By Karen Strand Winslow | February 10, 2021
Christian feminists seek to find, listen to, and raise the voices of women and others' experiences through diverse means, in order to contribute to the spread of the gospel, redemption, and justice for all.
Scars Across Humanity: Understanding and Overcoming Violence Against Women
By Elaine Storkey | November 24, 2015
Every three seconds, a girl under the age of 18 is married somewhere across the world usually without her consent and sometimes to a much older man. Combining rigorous research and compelling personal testimonies, Elaine Storkey investigates the different forms of violence experienced by women across the globe today.

Finally Feminist: A Pragmatic Christian Understanding of Gender
By John G. Stackhouse, Jr. | November 30, 2005
In Finally Feminist, John Stackhouse provides biblical, theological, and practical arguments for his own understanding of the issue: equality is the biblical ideal, but patriarchy is allowed and regulated by a God who has larger kingdom purposes in mind.
By Aída Besançon Spencer, William David Spencer | October 30, 2020
Thoughtful and devout Christian leaders carefully explain how sharing leadership follows God's intentions and is crucial to implement today.


Events at the Nathan Yip Foundation are exciting, creative, and memorable.
The Mid-Autumn Moon Festival is often referred to as the Thanksgiving of the East. Kick off the holiday season early and join us for a family-style feast that's fun for the whole family!
Our 2019 Chinese New Year Party raised close to $300,000 for educational projects in rural communities throughout China and Colorado.
Join us again in 2020 as we expand upon our popular Night Market concept, ring in the Year of the Rat, and celebrate the Lantern Festival! The Lantern Festival, which is the final day of the traditional Chinese New Year celebration, falls on February 8 in 2020. We will have an abundance of lanterns to celebrate! Lanterns can symbolize people letting go of their past, and the lanterns are almost always red to symbolize good fortune.
Stay tuned for information on the 2020 show!
Friends of Nathan Yip is a young professional's group that was started in 2012 by Nathan's peers. Nate's Night celebrates Nathan's fun-loving spirit and his love of music. Funds raised by Friends of Nathan Yip stays in Colorado, supporting educational opportunities here at home.


Ablation is a technique that involves placing needle probes into tumors and applying heat, cold, or electrical current. Typically, this technique is reserved for one or a few smaller tumors.
Radiofrequency ablation – Smaller tumors can be treated by advancing a probe from a needle hole in the skin and applying high energy radio waves to heat and kill tumor cells while sparing normal surrounding liver tissue.
Microwave ablation – Smaller tumors can be treated by advancing a probe from a needle hole in the skin and applying microwave energy to kill tumor cells while sparing normal surrounding liver tissue.
Cryoablation – Smaller tumors can be treated by advancing a probe from a needle hole in the skin and applying extreme cold temperature to kill tumor cells while sparing normal surrounding liver tissue.
Irreversible electroporation – Smaller tumors can be treated by advancing several needles from the skin into a tumor and applying electrical current to kill tumor cells. This technique is particularly useful when tumors are in close proximity to other vital structures that may be damaged with the extreme heat or cold of other techniques.

Q: Should you put HTML code in your JavaScript or call it from the server? I am working on a system that uses the Leaflet API for creating a map that shows data. I can put a control bar on the map, that allows me to interact with the map. The content of this control bar is HTML. Now, my question:
Should I build the HTML of this control bar in the JavaScript I send to the client, or should I call the control bar with an AJAX call from my ASP.NET controller?
Some pros and cons of each approach:

*

*If I build the control bar in JavaScript, my JS file will become messier, with lots of HTML. Putting the control bar in an ASP.NET page would decouple the HTML and JavaScript, which seems like a positive thing to me. It would save the server one request, as the code to create the control bar is already sent along with the JS files.

*Putting it in an ASP.NET page means the JS file is smaller, but the application needs to make an extra call to the server to obtain the control bar. There are no situations where there's no control bar on the map, so the call to the server would always have to be made if I store the HTML in an ASP.NET page.
Has anybody had to deal with this issue in the past, and how did you handle it?

A: Put HTML for your control bar in an ASP.NET page, this define the structure. Behavior and Style in my opinion should be separated in JavaScript and CSS files.
Depending of the content of your bar, putting HTML in the ASP.NET page would also give you the advantage to have the content in the HTML visible to Search Engine Spyder.


Just a comment on comments before moving on. My son sent me an email saying he thinks he is finally able to post comments on my blog posts. It makes me doubly happy to learn he is reading them. I've never achieved the interaction I've wanted with those who read the posts, and thanks to all of you who do, but I love seeing feedback and shared experiences from all of you. Indeed he did post a comment to the last picture of the day. He did say, however, that the process for setting up the Google account that enables leaving comments probably required more authentication steps than needed for launching a missile. I have heard from others that they felt uncomfortable answering all of Google's privacy questions, but I haven't heard of anyone having any problems coming from having followed the process. So I don't know if the demanding process is due to something I've done in setting up my profile filters, or is just the result of wading through Google's demands, but if you can pull on the high-top boots to wade through the mire, I'd still love to hear from you.
I do try to hold the line on a few things. While I do unavoidably fall prey and get hooked in sometimes, I try my best to avoid discussions about politics, religion, race, and some other hot-button issues that serve no purpose beyond alienating people. One of the reasons I enjoy paddling is the chance to get away from all that media-generated stress. I also don't feel comfortable communicating with people shielded in a cloak of mystery and calling themselves 'anonymous.' I did try giving one such person a go, but he started linking commercials to my posts, and that was a definite faux pas. I'd love to hear from the other 98%. Happy paddling.

Uneasy Allies: The Americanization of Sexual Policies in South Vietnam

Relations between u.s. servicemen and Vietnamese civilians represent one of the most persistent cultural legacies of the Vietnam War. From brides to bar girls to crass film tropes of Vietnamese sex workers, women occupy a prominent place in the war's memory. At the time, however, the media and u.s. government officials portrayed sex as a subtext to the larger conflict. From the outset, officials on all sides of the negotiating table struggled over how to contain the diverse impacts of the relationships on health, security, and morale. Prostitution played a central role in the debate. u.s. officials attempted to discount the significance of their impact on foreign relations and warfare, but social relationships indeed had an impact on how Americans engaged Saigon's leaders. While scholars typically have shown the United States as the dominant power in Vietnam, sexuality became a somewhat level playing field where both governments feared the repercussions of limiting intercultural intimacy as much as they feared letting it continue. At first, the Saigon government enacted strict laws and attempted to prosecute violators, but never committed to eradication. By the war's height u.s. officials adopted rigorous new programs which led to an Americanization of sexual and social policies regarding prostitution in Vietnam.

Most of us would never say we love our insurance. In fact, most clients don't even read their business insurance policy. Maybe after you read this story you may have a different opinion.
A small retail gift store recently came to love their business insurance policy. The store stocked and sold locally made candles as part of their product offerings. The store sold one of those candles to a customer who used it the same day. The candle had a defect that caused the base to overheat, which started a fire, and the customer's home burned to the ground. The customer's homeowner's insurance paid the $350,000 claim, and then sued the shop owner. The basis of the claim was there was a product defect in the candle which caused the loss. The shop owner then went to the candle maker, but the candle maker had no insurance. The shop's business insurance paid the claim, and the shop was able to stay in business, because of the product liability coverage found in their policy.
Bodily Injury--Bodily Injury to a third party.
Property Damage--Damage to a third party's property (equipment building etc.).
Personal Injury--Injury to the mind or emotions, as opposed to an injury to property.
Advertising Liability--Damages arising out of advertising, libel, slander, or invasion of privacy.
Products and Completed Operations--Liability arising out of the Nonprofit's products or business operations and services conducted, excluding professional services.
Premises--Covers liability arising out of injury to third parties while on your premises.
Medical Payments--A general liability coverage that reimburses others, without regard to the insured's liability, for bodily injury while on your premises.
Many of the exclusions can be added or purchased under a separate policy. You haven't had a fire or a flood, been robbed, vandalized or sued, and your worker safety record is spotless – but your insurance costs keep mounting. And if you have had to file a claim or two, you may be lucky to get coverage at any cost.
